<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.12.10
<DeathStar> Location: Janus Facilities
<DeathStar> 6* Having been given a new apartment, paid for as an employee of Janus, and living not too far from Kane and Sera - plus given a job at the Janus facilities, it would appear Chad Winters has been spending some time on the job site, while not working
* Chad`Winters sits before his computer, his stylus tapping against his forehead as he stares at his terminal.
<DeathStar> <Spade> That's funny. I don't recall you being signed up to work for another month. 6He notes dryly as he comes up behind Chad, wearing a simple uniform with no rankings.
* Chad`Winters stirs awake, looking at Spade, obviously being caught off guard. "I thought I'd come in ahead of time and try and get a feel of what my job's going to be.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Funny. I didn't realize I had specified what your job would be here. 6He notes.
<Chad`Winters> Fair enough....
<DeathStar> <Spade> Perhaps...you should tell me why you're really here. 6He notes dryly, though he's clearly unphased with Chad sneaking around
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair, his hand reaching upto the back of his head as he scratches it, he then lets out a sigh realizing there's no way out of this. 1"I'm trying to find information on Weapon Project DIAS..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> I see. 6He nods his head once, then brings his hands together, the fingers pressing against each other. "Now was that so hard to admit?"
<Chad`Winters> Yes...yes it was.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade laughs once, then stops. "You won't find anything in our computers about the project."
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"That'd explain why I came up with naught.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Yes. I imagine it would. 6He turns to go.
<Chad`Winters> So I guess that means I have to goto Cran then...
<DeathStar> <Spade> Really? Go to Cran? 6He stops, peering back with interest
<Chad`Winters> Unless you know the information I am interested in.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I do not.
<Chad`Winters> Then that only leaves me one person that may know what I want. *he stands up, pushing himself out of the chair* I don't suppose you know what he's doing currently.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Being the President, I could only imagine what he's doing right now.
<Chad`Winters> I see your humor has improved.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I never realized I had humor. 6He notes, then jots down a piece of paper, holding it out. "You will find him here in an hour for lunch."
* Chad`Winters reaches out grabbing the piece of paper
<DeathStar> 6* Spade turns and heads for the exit
* Chad`Winters reads the paper and pulls out his datapad typing on it. He then leaves following for the exit.
<DeathStar> Location: Expensive, High Class Resturant
* Chad`Winters steps into the High Class Restaurant, having changed to match the dress codes. He stops at the lobby.
<DeathStar> <Man> ... may I... help you?
<Chad`Winters> I'm here to meet Alexander Cran.
<DeathStar> <Man> The President? 6He says in disbelief. "And your name?"
<Chad`Winters> Chad Winters.
<DeathStar> 6* Grabbing a phone, the man calls someone, talking with them, eyeing Chad with obviously discontent
* Chad`Winters holds his hands infront of him as he eyes the man through the corner of his eye
<DeathStar> <Man> ... 6He hangs up the phone. "... follow ... me." 6He turns and begins to walk ahead.
* Chad`Winters drops his hands to his sides and he follows behind the man, his face neutral as he walks, his eyes glancing at the various people eating
<DeathStar> 6* President Cran is in a room by himself, with a security force in the room. The man motions for Chad to enter, obviously not allowed to go in himself. Glancing up from his salad, Cran waves Chad on in
* Chad`Winters nods to the man then heads in, tossing quick glances at the guards, studying them. He moves over to the table and sits across from Cran.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Hello, Chad. Would you like to order something? 6He takes another bite of his salad, chewing. His white hair is combed neatly and he wears a business suit
<Chad`Winters> I a salad would be nice. *he nods* And how is your day going so far?
<DeathStar> 6* Cran nods to someone who moves to comply. "I've been dealing with political relations with the Vapaads lately and trying to make them understand that Earth doesn't need their help currently."
<Chad`Winters> A race far more stubborn than the Ridariums.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Infinitely more so. 6He takes a sip of his water. "But I know you haven't come here for small talk. You've been looking into the Weapons Project, have you not?"
<Chad`Winters> Yes I have, I'm concerned about the health of the boy.
<DeathStar> <Cran> .... 6He sets his cup down, grabbing his fork again as he sits there. "You should drop searching for the serum to wake up."
<Chad`Winters> That's not something I can do now...
<DeathStar> <Cran> That boy is dangerous. 6He says, his eyes shifting up to look at Chad's face.
<Chad`Winters> And so was I until someone showed compassion.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Listen, Chad.... I had a hand in you being raised. Your genes are my genes. I trained you not to give into your Id and to have a mind of your own. That boy was in complete and utter control of Xavier. He's essentially the next level of what Xavier wanted you to be.
<Chad`Winters> But yet you let him live...
<Chad`Winters> He doesn't deserve the same fate that I was supposed to be given.
<DeathStar> <Cran> ... 6He chews on his salad in a moment of silence. "And so you're set on waking him, even if it means that one day you might have to kill him? Or him kill you?"
* Chad`Winters tilts his head down as he thinks. 1"Yes, yes I am."
<DeathStar> 6* Cran swallows his food, then pulls out a phone. He holds it out to Chad. "Then call your friends in the Cartel who have him and get him transferred to the Janus Facilities. I'll have Spade learn how to make the serum and wake the boy. However, I have one condition.
<Chad`Winters> Anything.
<DeathStar> <Cran> He doesn't stay at the facilities more than a week after you wake him up. I'll have him sent anywhere you want, but I do not want him near my military.
* Chad`Winters grabs the phone and begins dialing on it. 1"Then I'll find a caretaker."
* Chad`Winters moves the phone upto his ear and begins talking.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran continues with his chewing of the salad.
* Chad`Winters clicks the phone off and then hands it back over to Cran. 1"I appreciate this father.
* Chad`Winters picks up his fork as his salad arrives.
<DeathStar> <Cran> ... Tell me. Who will you ask to watch the boy? 6He asks between bites.
<Chad`Winters> I think....I will ask Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran blinks, looking at him in confusion. "That's an unusual choice, though I did hear you two were close."
<Chad`Winters> I still half expect my shower to rain down green color...
<DeathStar> 6* Cran just stares at him.
<Chad`Winters> Well...I did fill her entire room with soap.
<DeathStar> <Cran> You were pranking an Alpha Dragoon? 6He says with disbelief, shaking his head. He chuckles a bit, wiping at his mouth with a napkin.
<Chad`Winters> We had a bet going on...Neither of us ever won it.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I'm surprised she didn't end it by simply taking having you fall out an airlock. 6He notes, shaking his head.
<Chad`Winters> But it wouldn't be funny then.
<Chad`Winters> She started off small and began to grow more daring actually.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I see. 6He listens as he eats.
* Chad`Winters takes several bites from his salad. 1"Quite intresting indeed.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Do you fancy this Zephyr? 6He asks while sipping his water.
<Chad`Winters> I find her intriguing yes.
<DeathStar> <Cran> How so?
<Chad`Winters> I'm not sure I guess....I just do.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I see. And what do you find most intriguing about her? 6He asks as he finishes his water.
<Chad`Winters> Her persona I guess, I never thought about it.
<DeathStar> <Cran> For a very reflective individual, you seem to have a blind spot on your feelings. 6He notes.
<Chad`Winters> It's never been something on the top of my list I guess.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I may be an old man who's never known love or passion outside my work, but I should think you should learn what your feelings are for others, lest you miss something in the future that could have been yours if you had only identified it sooner. 6He jots down a number, handing it over to Chad. "You can contact me with this whenever you want to talk to me directly."
* Chad`Winters grabs it, looking at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran stands up, adjusting his suit. "It was good speaking with you again, Chad."
<Chad`Winters> Thank you for the apartment father.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Think nothing of it. 6He gives him a stiff nod, then steps out with his security guards
* Chad`Winters sits there, setting his fork down. He looks down at the salad, deep in thought.
<DeathStar> -End-
Session Close: Mon Jun 19 22:29:37 2006
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.12.10
* Kio is now known as Rylon
<DeathStar> Location: Jarivan Earth Colony
<DeathStar> 6* Warm planet all year, perfect beaches, and perfect sun simulation makes this one of the most sought after vacation spots for humans, and aliens alike. And so, surprisingly after it seemed as if they were saying their goodbyes a week earlier, the two find themselves not quite ready to enter the work place, and are in a moment of time inbetween.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Warren shows up for no apparant reason dressed in all black.*
* Cassandra_Arakawa laying out on a beach, clad in a sling-style bikini because she likes to tease. She suns herself underneath the simulated (and UV free) solar rays.
<DeathStar> 6* The seventh guy of the day comes over to, asking if she wants to go for a swim, or have a drink, or sex.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'm comfy right here, right now... *eyes closed as she continues to sunbathe*
<Rylon> 2A single hand would move to the guy's shoulder from behind. 14"Hey buddy...take a swim with your hand" 2He grins, and pushes him out of the way. 14"Sorry I'm a little late, ran into a little trouble on the way here"
<Rylon> 14"So? Like the accomodations, had to pay pretty much a small fortune for them" 2He was dressed in a white tank top, and black pants..as he moved to sit down in the sand next to her. Slowly he pulled off the shirt to reveal his slightly scared, but carved upper half.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Oh, its great. Make yourself comfy so that the guys get all jealous.
* Pep has joined #pax-season6session1prelude3
* Rylon laughs, looking over at him for a couple of brief moments. 14"I doubt he'll care..just some guy vacationing after a long year of work..and looking for a quick lay"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'm neither quick nor easy. Oil me up? *holds out the tanning oil*
* Pep was kicked by DeathStar (Top secret)
* Alicia has joined #pax-season6session1prelude3
* Alicia is now known as Red_Fox
* Red_Fox was kicked by DeathStar (Top Secret)
<Rylon> 14"Fine" 2He gives off a fake pout, as he gets up slowly. One hand moves to slide onto the bottle, and places the contents upon his hands. With a quick rub, both move to begin to softly caress her soft backside with powerful movements. Each one allowing him to spread the oil, along with giving her a relaxed enjoyment. 14"..do you tan?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Pigmentation reacts to UV exposure. Besides, the oil is sexy.
<Rylon> 14"..Right, save the techno stuff for the scientists..now..the second part..I can do that.." 2He nods and continued.
* Cassandra_Arakawa looks over her sunglasses, trying to see if there is any reactions around...
<DeathStar> 6* Angry women who's men are currently watching her instead of them.
<Rylon> NRP: Aw..Ry can't get Women to watch him!
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeah. I'm afraid not.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...wow...we are sooo much trouble.
<Rylon> 14"Easy for you to say, I can't really get a glance from another woman.."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So? Am I not enough...hmmmm?
<DeathStar> 6* The guys seem to be checking out Ry....to see if they could take him in a fight if they went after Cass.
<Rylon> 14"Of course you are! But it's the same concept as you checking to see for the mens reaction"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well, its a difference. Besides, they're checking YOU out.
<Rylon> 14"...They seem to have less then friendly intent in their eyes"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I think you can take 'em. There's only twenty four.
<Rylon> 14"I came here to get away from the fights..not beat up all the guys"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Then come here...
<DeathStar> NRP: *the porn people shift the lighting*
* Rylon continues massaging her, and leans in slightly. 14"I'm here?"
* Cassandra_Arakawa puts her arms around him and pulls him into a kiss!
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Chicka boom chicka boom...boom boom...chicka.
<DeathStar> 6* The men groan and shake their head in dismay, while the women just walk off, dragging their boyfriends with them
* Rylon blinks slightly, caught off guard by the sudden shift. Though he responds passionately, and leans into the kiss, wrapping a single oil covered arm around her waist.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Mmmm...looks like we had an effect...
<DeathStar> 6* Some young boys stare.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...ok...better cool our jets...
* Rylon lets off a muffled chuckle. 14"Why?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Children watching...
<DeathStar> NRP: *Boy 1* I'm telling you, she's in Playboy.
<Rylon> 14"I guess//"
<Rylon> NRP: -//
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Hey, there's always tonight.
<DeathStar> 6* Across the beach, a man with white hair turns to look in their direction, his face too far to make out properly.
* Xanatos`Durran has joined #pax-season6session1prelude3
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: AHHHH!
* Xanatos`Durran was kicked by DeathStar (TOP SECRET)
* Xanatos`Durran has joined #pax-season6session1prelude3
* Xanatos`Durran has left #pax-season6session1prelude3
<Rylon> 14"Yeah..there is" 2He glances up slightly at the man, then turns attention back to Cass.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...what?
<Rylon> 14"Nothing..felt a little off by something..paranoia"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Hey, calm down...
* Rylon smiles. 14"I'm fine"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Good...
* Rylon gives another glance, before slipping down into sand next to Cassandra. 14"So..let's switch up here!"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Ohhh? Like me being on top?
<Rylon> 14"Always"
* Cassandra_Arakawa rolls on top of Ry.
* Rylon grins a bit as she rolls on top of him, and he stares up at her with rather sheepish eyes. 14"Let's see if you can make the bleached hair man jealous."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Bleached hair man?
* Rylon points in the direction he was staring..most likely gone now. 14"But..not gonna let something like that ruin our vacation..so let's make em jealous!"
<DeathStar> 6* Yes he is gone now.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I don't see anyone.
<Rylon> 14"He's the mysterious type" 2He draps his arms around Cassandras shoulders, and draws her flat on top of him..and spreading the oil on her own body onto his. He draws her into a kiss of his own, sliding both hands across her bare back..teasing the skin with those caressing and oiled fingers.
* Cassandra_Arakawa kisses him back....
<DeathStar> <Voice> Well, isn't this just sexy
* Rylon breaks the kiss upon hearing the voice. 14"I think it's your X-Co worker.."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...hell... *looks up* ...what do YOU want?
<DeathStar> 6* Adam crosses his arms, wearing a bathing suit only, looking down at them. "Now that isn't the reception I wanted."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well...considering you tried to kill us...
* Rylon looks up at him blankly. 14"Nice shorts, by the way..denim?
<DeathStar> <Adam> You're very cute. You know...it makes me want that body of yours even more, Cass. 6He says, ignoring Ry.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...excuse me?
<Rylon> 14"Go away, what..losing twice isn't enough for you?"
<DeathStar> <Adam> Stay out of this, elf boy. 6He says to Ry, then looks at Cass. "Come on. Your power. My power. We'd make a great team. I'd hate to have to hurt you. After all, last time was just a warm up."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Does the term...go suck a lemon...have any meaning for you?
<DeathStar> <Adam> ... 6He sucks in the air, as if taking his time responding.
* Rylon places one hand on Cassandras side, glaring. 14"Now go away, wannabe pop star"
<DeathStar> 6* Adam holds up his hands. "Okay, I can take a hint." 6He walks off, a smile on his face as he edges away into the crowd.
<Rylon> 14"How long till he starts firing?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Not a clue.
* Rylon eyes the crowd.
<DeathStar> 6* The crowd is decent sized today. A firefight would lead to casualities, no doubt
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We'd better pack up and get out of here..
* Rylon sighs, looking a little offput by that. 14"..Do we gotta?"
<DeathStar> 6* The young boys keep watching
<Cassandra_Arakawa> No civilian casualties...
<Rylon> 14"Fine..but you're still mine for a month"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Fine. But I'd rather it be without some prick trying to crash our vacation. *stands up and starts packing up*
<DeathStar> NRP: I should jump around to other scenes during the vacation. ;)
<Rylon> 14"Well..I know some other spots" 2He moves after her, packing up himself
<DeathStar> Stardate: Later
<DeathStar> Location: Ry's New Spot
<Rylon> NRP: Hawaii! W00t
<DeathStar> NRP: Describe it, bitch
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Please!
<Rylon> NRP: I am lol
<DeathStar> NRP: *DS and CAss wait 1 hour to learn where they are at*
<Rylon> 2It was a less crowded vacationing spot on Earth, Hawaii they called it. It was a large beach, with only a few people along it. White sand covers its, with sparking blue water..and a shining sun..this one quite real. A large hotel was nearby, a vacationing resort in the tropics. Though..this time he made sure to check them in as Mr and Mrs. Smith.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Mr...and Mrs...Smith?
<Rylon> 14"It was all I could think of"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Let me do the spy stuff next time...ok?
<Rylon> 14"Alright..but hopefully there won't be a next time"
* Cassandra_Arakawa nods.
<Rylon> 14"Now..where were we?"
<DeathStar> NRP: Hawaii, obviously.
<Rylon> NRP: I was waiting for it
<Cassandra_Arakawa> On the beach.
<Rylon> 14"...ouch"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What?
<Rylon> 14"I meant..vacation wise..right.." 2He lays down on the beach, and turns over to glance at her.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Making it, I believe?
<DeathStar> 6* The beach looks rather empty, except for one guy out on the beach. All they can see is white hair, though, as he's sitting in a chair.
* Rylon eyes the white hair man. 14"He's here..again"
<Rylon> NRP: Jackies getting distracted!
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ... ... ...better be sure.
<Rylon> 14"Know what? No, screw him..screw his unit. He can follow us around, but I could care less..he wants to finish it right here..let him."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Alright..
* Rylon slides a hand over his waist. 14"This is our time anyway..We only got a month left before we need to part..and I won't spend it hopping around"
<Rylon> *her waist*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Sure...as long as we don't get shot.
<Rylon> 14"Hell, just more scars for me to show off to the guys back home"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Right...go on and check.
<Rylon> NRP: Jackie, want to stop?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Might be a good idea...I'm slowing down. Still not used to having my days free...
<Rylon> NRP: I figured as much :P
<DeathStar> NRP: You will be ready for tomorrow, right?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: I will RP, yes.
<DeathStar> NRP: You will love me, right?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP *hugs*
<Rylon> NRP: Me too?
<DeathStar> NRP *hugs*
<Rylon> NRP: *sigh*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Well...end it then.
<Rylon> NRP: Love me first!
<DeathStar> END

Session Ident: #pax-season6session1prelude1
* Now talking in #pax-season6session1prelude1
* Xanatos`Durran has joined #pax-season6session1prelude1
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.12.15
<DeathStar> Location: Xanatos' Temporary Apartment
* Xanatos`Durran sits on his temporary couch, his head is propped up onto his arm as he watches the holo-vid.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has taken to standing on the balcony outside the living room, tilting her head as she looks down at the city below, as if sizing it up like one would a bug. She wears her military uniform, the only clothing she wears.
* Xanatos`Durran moves his head to glance over at Erevis. He stands slowly and moves over to lean against the door that leads to the balcony. He says nothing right now, he just simply watches Erevis about her business.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Erevis destroys the city*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: *Xan nods appovingly* <Xan> I hated this place anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to stare at the city. It seems she stands here most of her days, just watching down on the people, perhaps the closest she will reach godlike status over them.
* Xanatos`Durran allows a smirk to slide upon his face. He moves over to the balcony to stand beside Erevis, looking down at the people. "Like busy little ants, aren't they?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at him, her green eyes glancing him over with her blank expression before turning back to look at them. "I find it odd how you humans all gather together in one place, isolating yourselves into tiny rooms."
* Xanatos`Durran nods once. "We are so overpopulated that it is the only way we can survive."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It makes you weak.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis. "Makes us weak?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Instead of expanding into the universe, you stack yourselves in one place. One could easily destroy millions of your kind by leveling this one place.
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head. "You are right. But we have expanded a bit. They have built a few colonies to try and increase our presence."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shrugs, glancing up at the snow falling over the city.
* Xanatos`Durran follows her eyes too the snow. "Have you ever seen the snow before?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have not. 6She admits.
* Xanatos`Durran smirks and stares out as he talks, "It is one of the best things to ever come from mother nature. At least...in my opinion." He adds.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And what is so wonderful about this substance?
<Xanatos`Durran> Beauty. *glances at Erevis* After a fresh fallen snow, even the ugliest of locations look absolutely amazing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Beauty. Ah. So you find it pleasant to look at.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Yes. Don't you think that it is beautiful?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What need would I have for beauty?
<Xanatos`Durran> Hmmm. Why wouldn't you want to look at something beautiful?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What need would I have for beauty? 6She says stubbornly.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles and looks out at the snow again. "I find thaat whenever I look upon something beautiful, it leaves me with a sense of calm. Perhaps this beauty could calm you, inspire you even."
<DeathStar> NRP: *She knocks him off the roof, finding his fall to be a thing of beauty*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are a foolish romantic, Xanatos Durran. 6She notes.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs at her. "Is that such a bad thing?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It gets you nowhere in life.
<Xanatos`Durran> Not everything in life is ment to "get you somewhere". Some things are to be enjoyed for a moment and then fade away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis merely glances at him with her green eyes, then turns back to look at the snow. It's impossible to say what words affect her anymore, since she's become good at keeping her blank expression
* Xanatos`Durran smiles and glances down at the people below. "I'm glad you decided to come with me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You asked. I complied. You should speak your mind more often.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis. "Oh? Why would I do that? Especially when you can read every little thought that pops into my head?" He looks at her innocently.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The action is more important than the thought, is it not?
* Xanatos`Durran pauses to think about that. "Yes. You are correct. But i've also heard that it is the thought that counts." He smiles at her slyly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You toy with me with your little phrases. 6She notes.
* Xanatos`Durran nods. Falling silent now. He stares down.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back out there, letting the snow fall down on her without much care, probably not even feeling it landing on her. "And why do you like beauty so much?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Because beauty hides some of the truly hideous things in this world.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So it brings you comfort in dealing with life?
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Brb I'm gonna go tinkle.
* Xanatos`Durran smirks. "Sometimes it does. Yes."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Xanatos`Durran> But not always. Sometimes we have to deal with life.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And do you deal with life? 6She asks, glancing at him.
<Xanatos`Durran> Not usually. But of course you know that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You assume I know a lot about you.
<Xanatos`Durran> Katrina knew alot about me. *he glances at her*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing, shifting slightly in her stance. "She did."
<Xanatos`Durran> But you are you. *he adds quickly*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Am I?
<Xanatos`Durran> Aren't you? *he arches his brow*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes, "I believe you are. You only act like Katrina when you want too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Yes. You are right. 6She crosses her arms, quite warm in her uniform against the cold. Then again, who knows if she feels hot or cold, since she's never indicated either way.
* Xanatos`Durran moves too look up at the sky. "This holiday might be a good thing for you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> In what way? We merely stand around every day doing nothing.
<Xanatos`Durran> Well I can always take you anywhere you want to go. Show you the sights and all that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She just looks at him perplexed.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her. "What?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is no place I desire to go.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns. "Well.....perhaps I'll figure out someplace to take you...If you want to go that is..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. Lead the way. 6She turns and walks back inside the apartment
* Xanatos`Durran watches her go and scratches his head. Where the hell is he going to take her. He slowly starts back into the apartment, closing the door behind him.
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at Erevis. "Do you know much about Ariel's race?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Her race or the race you humans designed after her? 6She asks, standing in the living room.
<Xanatos`Durran> The designed ones...*he scratches his heaad*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I know as much as Katrina did on the subject.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Well I could show you the museum if you'd like?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will do.
<Xanatos`Durran> It will do? *he shakes his head laughing.* I'll go get dressed. *he moves into his room*
* DeathStar is now known as FranklyDSHasToGetUpEarly
<FranklyDSHasToGetUpEarly> *PAUSE FOR NOW*

Session Ident: #pax-season6session1prelude1
* Logging #pax-season6session1prelude1 to 'logs\EsperNet\#pax-season6session1prelude1.20060615.log'
<DeathStar> Location: Dragoon Museum
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Ummm could you give a bit of a description of the place so I can figure out what i'm working with. :D
<DeathStar> NRP: *sighs*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragoon Museum. A place full of Dragoon trinkets and pictures of pilots, Dragoons, and those behind their creation. It's rarely visited anymore these days and finds itself short on crowds.
* Xanatos`Durran glances around at the lack of crowds as he slowly steps into the lobby area.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks in, still wearing her uniform. She gets a few odd looks from the staff of the museum, but they say nothing.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her as she moves in, "How come you wont wear anything else?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is this not clothing? 6She asks, glancing at him.
* Dias has joined #pax-season6session1prelude1
* Dias was kicked by DeathStar (DeathStar)
* Xanatos`Durran nods and simply shrugs, "As long as you're clothed, then we are getting somewhere." He stops at the lobby and looks left, then right. It seems he hasn't been here either, so he just moves towards the right. "People seemed to have gotten bored of this place."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks around at the pictures and other items of the Dragoon/Ridarium War, seemingly disinterested. "It would appear to be nothing more than a glorified memorial."
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head. "It was a tough war." He says quietly as he looks at the pictures.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances over the pictures of the dead for only a moment, before turning to look at one of the male staff staring at her. She tilts her head as she stares back
* Xanatos`Durran stops suddenly, his eyes narrowing as he looks closely at a pictures, a group photograph it seems.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a group photo...of Durran!
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: LOL.
* Disconnected
* Attempting to rejoin channel #pax-season6session1prelude1
* Rejoined channel #pax-season6session1prelude1
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I believe it is Erevis turn to talk. :(
<TAW> 6* Erevis is completely ignoring the photos and seems to be watching the humans with more interest at this point.
* DeathStar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Xanatos`Durran moves his head to glance at Erevis. "Come'on. There is a bit more."
<TAW> 6* Erevis turns to look back. "Yes. Let us continue." 6She agrees.
* Xanatos`Durran moves onto the next exhibit, a neutral face. As he obviously is thinking.
* Chad`Winters has joined #pax-season6session1prelude1
<TAW> 6* Erevis walks into the next room. "Your thoughts are reflecting on the past."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis. "Yes, places of memorial do that to people. Especially those that were there."
<TAW> <Erevis> So you come here to remind yourself of that war.
<Xanatos`Durran> I believe that mistakes made in the past, are often made in the future as well. So if you reflect upon those mistakes, whenever the time comes, you can save yourself from making it again.
<TAW> 6* As they enter the Dragoon room with the pictures of the Dragoons, as well as their pilots, one man appears to be looking at a holovid that lists individual Dragoon data.
<TAW> 6* One familiar man.
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes as he slides to a stop.
<TAW> NRP: FIGHT TIME! XANATOS VS. CHAD
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: lol.
<TAW> NRP: *They begin to battle it for no reason around the room*
* Chad`Winters stands before the holovid obviously studying it, his hair tied back in a pony tail and wearing black pants and a grey sweatshirt.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis, then steps up to Chad. "Find what you're looking for?"
<TAW> <Erevis> ... 6Stays back a few steps, not approaching, nor leaving, the scene.
* Chad`Winters turns his head glancing at Xanatos. 1"....Fancy meeting you here...Infact, what the hell are you doing here?"
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "Well I was attempting to show Erevis something other than our apartment, but I ended up taking strides down memory lane. Why are you here?"
<Chad`Winters> ...*Shakes his head, obviously confused* Ere...*he pauses, his body tensing up as his memories click in* You're...living together?
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "She can't well live alone. Not yet." He eyes Chad for a moment, "And its not what you're thinking either."
<TAW> 6* Erevis turns and walks out of the room, the only thing really seen is her blue uniform and her red hair as she moves around the corner into another part of the museum.
* Chad`Winters pauses thinking. 1"If you're trying to show her a good time...You should take her to the zoo...or something...less related to war.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Yeah well, this was the first place to pop into my head. But the Zoo is a good idea." he nods his head thinking to himself.
* Chad`Winters slides his hand to the terminal, switching to another Dragoon.
<Xanatos`Durran> Searching for anything in particular?
* Chad`Winters taps the terminal again, switching to a new one now.
<Chad`Winters> Not really.
<Xanatos`Durran> ....So when do you go back to start your job at Janus? *he asks as he crosses his arms*
* TAW is now known as DeathStar
<Chad`Winters> Whenever I'm ready....But I'll start within 2 months.
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head, "Around the same time I start with Darien." He glances back to where Erevis was and rubs the back of his neck uncomfortably.
* Chad`Winters stops on Dragoon Alpha Cheryl and begins reading.
* Xanatos`Durran glances back at Chad and then at Cheryl's profile. "Find something interesting?"
<Chad`Winters> Nope, not a single thing specifically.
<Chad`Winters> What about you? What are you searching for?
<Xanatos`Durran> Nothing at all. I told you, I just chose a poor place to show Erevis thats all. *he glances back* Speaking of...i'm going to go find her.
<Chad`Winters> They say...if you want to truely know your someone, you need to wear there shoes.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: -your
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Chad, a confused look on his face. "I'm not so sure Cheryl will let you borrow her shoes."
<Chad`Winters> Who say's I'm trying to know Cheryl?
* Xanatos`Durran points to her profile and then turns to go find Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> You're horrible at playing dumb.
* Xanatos`Durran glance at Chad and smirks, "Who said I was playing? You talk as if you're a prophet or whatever. Bah, say it like a normal person or don't say it at all."
<Chad`Winters> Well I can't just tell you what I mean, otherwise you'll never be able to follow the real things that go on.
* Chad`Winters changes to another Dragoon.
<Xanatos`Durran> I could if you told me. *he notes as he steps around the corner, glancing around for Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is standing in the other room, having not left the building. Some employee is pestering her, but she simply ignores him.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"To know who someone is, it helps to learn as much as possible about them and the conditions that made them who they are, along with the things and people around them.
* Xanatos`Durran walks up slowly, he glances his head back toward Chad and just shakes his head, a smirk on his face. He slowly slides up to Erevis, glancing at the employee.
<DeathStar> 6* The employee eyes him, then slinks off. Erevis glances at Xanatos. "You are done speaking with your friend?"
* Xanatos`Durran watches the man walk off, "I assume so. What did he want?" He continues to eye the employee.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He kept asking me what my number was - I simply assumed it was annoying human banter.
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes. "He ment phone number. He apparently fancied you a bit. Wanted to ask you for a date." He turns back to look at Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Xanatos`Durran scratches the side of his cheek, it seems he forgot to shave today and his 5 o'clock shadow is creeping up on him. "Chad suggested I take you to the zoo.' He glances at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ... a zoo?
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "It is a place that parents usually take their children. Zoos usually have a lot of animals to look at.'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you think of me as a child.?
<Xanatos`Durran> Not at all. But you have been asleep longer that I could imagine. So maybe seeing things like that can help you regain some of yourself? *shrugs* Worth a shot.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you believe...seeing caged animals that children look at... will help me regain some of myself...?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just looks confused.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs. "I don't know. He suggested it so I thought...why not? Couldn't be worse than bringing you here? Since you are obviously bored."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not desire to see caged animals. 6She says in a huff, showing a slight sign of annoyance.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Ok. What do you desire to do then?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know what I 'desire'. But it is not to see caged animals. 6She says firmly.
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "I understand. And I can't say I blame you." He glancs around. "Well, would you like to maybe take a walk around the park?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will do. 6She says simply.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and glances back. "Well. Lets go." He smiles at her casually, he moves toward the door.
* Chad`Winters steps out of the room he was in before and comes walking through the hallway
* Xanatos`Durran stops glancing at Chad. "Finished so soon?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Chad briefly.
* Chad`Winters stops, looking at Xanatos, then over at Erevis. a very neutral look on his face. 1"Photographic memory."
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "We are going to go take a walk through the park."
<Chad`Winters> Amazing the things you can come up with when you force several neural pathways to fire off.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe he is insulting you, Xanatos.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles and glances at Erevis. "Don't worry about him, he is just jealous that he came up with the lame Zoo idea."
<Chad`Winters> And now why would I give you anything besides fool's gold ideas?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, eyeing Chad, perhaps looking into his mind
<Xanatos`Durran> Hah, you're have just gotten used to thinking "young". *he grins lightly8
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"By all means, I'm the young one."
* Xanatos`Durran taps his head lightly. "I wouldn't be so sure."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did you find what you are looking for, Chad Winters?
<Chad`Winters> Well, I do believe the elderly do enjoy parks and museums....*he stops, looking over at Erevis, a slight twinge of caution appearing on his face* I'm not sure yet...Sometimes it tkaes time to process a lot of information.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mm. Time is something that seems to damn all beings who take too much of it when there's too little to take. 6She turns back to look at the wall of pictures.
<Chad`Winters> ...What about you? *he relaxes slightly*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Me? 6She looks back.
* Xanatos`Durran crosses his arms and just allows them to talk. Since Chad's comeback was horribly lame, he didn't even feel the need to reply.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Xan. 1"Don't worry, something will come to you eventually."
* Chad`Winters turns his attention back to Erevis. 1"Well obviously you're looking for something in one manner or another...Or why else would you let yourself be caged?
* Xanatos`Durran smiles lightly. "I figure'd your joke was so horrible that I didn't even have to bother."
<Chad`Winters> There's a difference between a joke and a comeback. Jokes tend to have punchlines.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Xanatos`Durran laughs. "And now you are trying to make yourself feel better by seeming smart. Nice. Keep up the good work."
<Chad`Winters> You seem very bitter Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do I? A human emotion only.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> Than am I to believe this is the type of person you are?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And what type of person do you believe me to be?
* Chad`Winters takes in a deep breathe, obviously thinking about something, he looks over at Erevis. 1"While your first actions dictated a less than devout individual...Your actions snce then...Have said otherwise.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am who I have always been. You are the one who has changed.
<Chad`Winters> You should smile more often, it suits you more.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... smile? 6She says, caught off guard. She blinks, tilting her head downward.
* Xanatos`Durran just watches the conversation, his face impasive.
* Chad`Winters pulls out a bottle of water from his pocket and twists the cap off, taking a swig of it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis simply goes back to her blank expression, whatever eternal battle over now.
<Xanatos`Durran> Mmmm. You hear that?
* Chad`Winters points his bottle at her. 1"They say if you hold that expression, it'll stay that way.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You humans have tons of little expressions.
<Chad`Winters> Tedious things they are.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I feel as if I'm being mocked.
<Chad`Winters> That tends to happen when you hang around Twinkle toes here. *he motions his bottle at Xanatos then takes another swig*
<Xanatos`Durran> Actually. Chad is an asshole. No one likes him, we just put up with him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You two continue to pick on each other like siblings. 6She notes
* Chad`Winters glances at Erevis, his left eye winking at her. 1"And when I'm gone for good, you'll miss me and everything I put you through.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis. "Just nod, it makes him leave faster."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You think too highly of yourself Chad Winters.
<Chad`Winters> ...An attempt at a humerous statement....*he looks over at Xanatos nodding approvingly at him*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Humor. How unnecessary.
<Chad`Winters> Hardly, a good laugh helps relieve stress.
<Xanatos`Durran> Better than keeping a sour look on your face. *he notes*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Durran quietly, then turns and steps out of the room and outside.
<Chad`Winters> Way to insult her.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "I'll be doing that alot in the next 2 months I'll assume."
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs. "Good luck with Janus. I'll be seeing you."
* Chad`Winters moves over to Durran putting an arm around his shoulder. 1"I suggest you take one step at a time Durran. It takes a lot to get used to something."
<Xanatos`Durran> Trust me I've figured this out the hard way.
<Chad`Winters> Oh and one more thing...seriously, try to refrain from insulting her...Girls don't like that.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs. "Yeah I know. I forget that even though he is a powerful being. She is still a girl at heart."
<Chad`Winters> Well...baring that Erevis is a girl...*he pats Xan on the back then walks off*
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head. "Take care."
* Chad`Winters throws his left hand into the air, his middle finger raised.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles and moves on, hoping he can catch up to Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is standing outside, looking up at the snow. Her expression isn't blank for once, and looks a little annoyed.
* Chad`Winters walks by Erevis. 1"Don't kill all the snowflakes."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis snaps her head toward Chad, lifting a hand. Chad suddenly slips on a pile of snow and falls forward.
* Xanatos`Durran steps out to see Chad fall, "And you call me twinkle toes." He laughs.
* Chad`Winters falls forward, slamming into the snow covered sidewalk.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drops her hand again.
* Chad`Winters lies there motionless.
<Xanatos`Durran> Awww. Embarassment has him motionless.
* Chad`Winters groans and pushes himself up. His reaches to his pony tail and pulls out a rubberband, letting his hair fall to his shoulders. He then runs his hand through it several times as he knocks the snow off.
* Chad`Winters bends over, his hands dusting the snow off from his clothes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ....
* Xanatos`Durran coughs. "Well, it is getting late. We still have enough time to view the park." He glances at Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> Clumsy me I guess...*he kneels down picking up the hair band he dropped on the ground*
* Chad`Winters reaches behind his head quickly and begins tieing his hair into a ponytail again.
* Chad`Winters pulls his hands forward then tosses a small snowball towards Erevis chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down as it collides with her chest. "You dare...?"
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"I did."
* Xanatos`Durran motions. "Embarass him." He goads her on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She lifts her head and moves an entire pile of snow at him.
<Chad`Winters> ....Oh...shit...*leaps off to the side and onto a bench*
* Xanatos`Durran crosses his arms and watches, nodding approvingly at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waves her hand and simply tosses Durran at Chad next, then turns and walks away from them both
<Xanatos`Durran> urgh! *goes flying toward Chad*
* Chad`Winters throws his hands upto catch Xanatos and is knocked off the bench and onto a snow pile behind him*
* Chad`Winters coughs. 1"It would appear...that she hasn't forgotten your insult..."
* Xanatos`Durran pulls himself up. "Yeah....shit." He glannces around. "This is going to be a long two months..." He starts to move after her. "See you aroundn Chad."
* Chad`Winters pushes himself up finally and moves over to the bench. He wipes some snow off then sits down, looking out at the snow.

Session Start: Fri Jun 16 00:00:00 2006
Session Ident: #pax-season6session1prelude1
* Xanatos`Durran moves to catch up with Erevis. "Did I anger you?" He asks as he paces himself to her own.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... It matters not.
<Xanatos`Durran> Yes. It matters to me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She says nothing, walking along the icey sidewalks with no trouble.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her. "I think you should learn something about me. I often say things that I don't mean."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you waste words.
<Xanatos`Durran> I guess so. I usually mean something whenever I speak. It is just often mistaken..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you mean what you say. 6She concludes.
<Xanatos`Durran> Not in the way that most people percive.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You speak in circles.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs, "I guess so.."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be retracing the route back to the apartment, probably having memorized it when they left.
<Xanatos`Durran> I promise to try and be more cautious with what I say. I in no way want to offend you at all.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You seem to say that a lot.
<Xanatos`Durran> Because being the ignorant male that I am. I often put my foot in my mouth.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A fine excuse. 6She notes dryly.
<Xanatos`Durran> Sadly, it is true.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing, rounding the corner and walking along. She glances at a pair of humans, a male and female, laughing and joking on the sidewalk about something
* Xanatos`Durran sees the couple, but says nothing. He glances at Erevis once, before looking ahead again.
<DeathStar> NRP: *they walk off into the sunset*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: We can end it here if you want. Doesn't matter to me.)

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.12.17
<DeathStar> Location: Xanatos' Apartment
* Xanatos`Durran is sitting on his couch, datapad in hand as he seems to be working on something...something artitic. Outside te snow is falling a bit heavier than before, showing signs that it is going to be a tough winter. Durran has put up a few decorations, just ennough to hopefully show Erevis the holiday experience.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, having shown no interest in the decorations, is outside on the balcony, covered in snow as she stands there, looking out at the city. She continues to wear her uniform, which is showing some wear and tear these days from being used in such environments.
* Xanatos`Durran glances out at the balcony and frowns lightly. He moves his head back to his work, drawing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds out a hand, letting the snow pile up on it. She then tilts her hand and lets it fall down
* Xanatos`Durran stands and clicks something on the datapad, saving his work, he sets it on a side table and casually slides outside, he instantly recoils when the gust of air from outside hits him. "Brr. Pretty cold out here."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to look at him. "You do not like the cold?"
<Xanatos`Durran> I like it well enough. It just takes me a while to get used to it. *he rubs his arms briskly to get some warmth into them* It will definitely be a white Christmas this year.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis face is unusually pale, probably from being out here so long. Despite the fact the military inspector suit is long, her hands tremble slightly, though she never seems to notice. "A white Christmas?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Yes. Christmas, it is an earth holiday, have you not heard of it? *he glances at her with his head a bit to the side*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have some memories about ... Christmas. 6She says slowly.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Yes, it is a time where we celebrate life, our family and those close to us. When I was a boy, it was my favorite time of the year.'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because of your family being together back then?
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head, "My mother was." He glances down at the ground, not one to talk much about his past. "But it was more-so all the presents that I got." He smiles slyly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... presents. 6She repeats.
<Xanatos`Durran> Gifts. *he says again, nodding his head*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you enjoyed it because they paid tribute to you with gifts?
<Xanatos`Durran> Not tributes. *he pauses to think how to describe it* Christmas presents are more or less, gifts from people to show that they care for you and are glad that you are part of their life.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you give presents to reinforce the idea that you like them.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Throughout the year, stress and other things can cause a person to lose sight of things. Christas is a way to relax and be among loved ones."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Xanatos`Durran> At least that is what Christmas is now. The meaning of it has changed over the years.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And what meaning do you place on it now?
<Xanatos`Durran> Just that family and friends are the most important things in life. *he stares out at the snow* I remember when I was a kid, they would tell us stories of a man named Jesus, God's only son, and how he was born on December 25th, Christmas day.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks bored now as he talks about Jesus
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her. "Though I'm no so sure about that last part." He winks at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Religion and gift giving. How droll humanity's religions are now.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her curiously. "Were you around for humanities earlier religions?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A complicated story I do not wish to go into.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs. "I would love to hear about it. And it isn't like we have more important thingns to do."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I said I do not wish to go into it. 6She repeats.
<Xanatos`Durran> Alright then. *he sighs lightly* Would you like to help me decorate the christmas tree?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would I decorate a ... tree?
<Xanatos`Durran> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a tree.
<Xanatos`Durran> It's a holiday tradition. I just would like to show you how I celebrate Christmas. But don't worry about it...*he moves back toward the door*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... very well. 6She states, shaking the snow off of her body and walking after him.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her. "Why don't you even make an effort?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What efforT?
<Xanatos`Durran> Forget it. I figure you're probably just afraid you can't do it. *he eyes her out of the corner of his eye*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis recoils back as if he just slapped her on the face. "You dare indicate I am afraid of something?"
* Xanatos`Durran allows a smile to creep up on his face, "We'll soon find out." He slides into the apartment.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis fumes a moment before walking in after him, closing the glass doors behind her with a firm and definite thud as she walks over to the tree.
* Xanatos`Durran motions to a few boxes. "We have some lights and bulbs, and we wrap the lights around this pine tree. Then we hangs the bulbs onto the tree." He smiles at her. "My mother and I used to do this together." He eye sparkles a youthful flair.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes the lights, then grabs them. Tilting her head, she tosses them on the tree, watching them fall down in a tangled mess. "This looks odd." 6She states firmly.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "You have to wrap them around it. Like this." He moves over and pulls the lights off, starting from the bottom and slowly wrapping the lights.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him work. "That placement makes some sense. For a human."
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head, "And next..." He moves over to the couch and picks up a bulb with a little hook on it, he takes it and hangs it on the tree branch. "We place bulbs on the tree. Once everything is in place, the light will reflect off the bulbs. Showing a beautiful spectacle of colors."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She grabs a bulb and hangs it on the limb near Durran's bulb. She picked the same color, it seems, too.
* Xanatos`Durran steps back and looks at it. "Artistically, you should spread out the bulbs, and place different colors near each other. To create a better of color." He moves over with a different color bulb and sets it a bit away from his own.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then complies. After, as she places the bulbs on the tree, she keeps a blank expression, as if she's a million miles away. Though, after a while, her expression changes to a content one that Kat would have sometimes when her mind was on something that wasn't troubling.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her as he steps back to watch her progress. "Beautiful." He says lightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes putting the last bulb on the tree, stepping back from it.
<Xanatos`Durran> Ah, one more thing. *he lifts up a star and places it gently on top of the tree* And now...*he moves over and plugs in the lights, the lights bright up and reflect off of the bulbs, lighting the small apartment up.*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at the lit tree blankly. "A simple enough task." 6She says after a moment
* Xanatos`Durran stands back beside Erevis, "Congratulations, you've decorated you very first Christmas tree." He looks at her, a happy look upon his face. His eyes sparkle with that same youthful luster.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I certainly hope you do not intend to go out and decorate more trees. 6She notes dryly.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles, "I believe this one is good enough for me."
* Xanatos`Durran turns to face her fully. "Thank you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> For what? 6She says, glancing at him.
<Xanatos`Durran> Why, helping me decorate our tree of course. *he is grinning at the accomplishment they made*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are pleased with yourself.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs. "No, I'm happy with you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Why?
<Xanatos`Durran> For just one moment you didn't seemed to be bored. And that made me happy.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are clearly mistaken. 6She says with a huff. "How could decorating a tree entertain me?"
* Xanatos`Durran glances at the tree. "Because, just simply decorating a tree was doing something other than sit on the balcony. I know I was clearly entertained."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You seek to recapture the old childhood feeling you had when doing these activities.
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm actually jus hoping that I could share those feelings with you, entertain you a little bit.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. A kind ... gesture. 6She notes.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her. "I'm just spilling with them." He laughs and winks at her. Durran moves over and picks up a bottle of water sitting on a table, he takes a drink of it.
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.5.25
<DeathStar> Location: Xanatos Apartment
<DeathStar> (Er, 12.25)
<Xanatos`Durran> (Lol.)
* Xanatos`Durran is in his kitchen area, roasting chestnuts it seems. He is humming a Christmas carol.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out of her room, wearing her uniform as she always does. She looks around blankly, moving into the kitchen silently to attain food.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her whenever she steps into the kitchen. "Merry Christmas." He says happily.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mer...ry Christmas. 6She repeats awkwardly, moving to grab a muffin. She grabs a fork and moves to the table, sitting down and uses the fork to eat the muffin
* Xanatos`Durran smile at her and moves over to sit down across from her. "Did you rest well?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I received enough rest that this body can function through the day. 6She says with her typical response.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles again. "I'm glad to hear that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bites into her muffin, chewing on it silently.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls himself up and steps out of the room. Moments later he returns with his hands behind his back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis uses the fork and brings another piece of muffin to his mouth.
* Xanatos`Durran reveals a gift for Erevis, placing it down in front of her. It is wrapped neatly, which is odd for Durran.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops chewing, then simply swallows. "What is this?"
<Xanatos`Durran> A gift. *he says quielty*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I thought...you got gifts for those you cared about.
<Xanatos`Durran> And what gave you the idea that I didn't care about you? *He moves over and sits down again.*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then gets up and moves to her room, stepping inside.
* Xanatos`Durran just watches her quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out with a piece of paper. She sits down, then puts it down. It's a drawing, very detailed, of a Christmas setting, one that looks familiar to Xanatos' childhood, perhaps even gleamed from his memories. <Erevis> This is for your sentimental mentality.
* Xanatos`Durran widens his eyes in a bit of shock, "...For me?" He stares at it. "I'm speechless."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She eyes the pretty box, wondering what to do with a colorful box.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles before glancing up at her. "Open it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hesitates, then reaches out and begins to open the present, carefully removing the wrapping paper as not to tear it.
* Xanatos`Durran watches her closely.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls out the locket, holding it in her left hand as she looks it over.
<Xanatos`Durran> *The locket is of a simple design, and very modest looking*
<Xanatos`Durran> I know it isn't much. But I thought maybe you might like something to remind you of me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you. 6She says with a nod. "I will associate it with you always."
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "And thank you for the picture. It is so beautiful."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a simple drawing. 6She says to Durran, eyeing the locket, probably trying to decide what one is suppose to do with it.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, and then stands quickly. "Oh here." He moves over and extends his hand to take the locket so he can put it on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hands the locket over, watching him carefully.
* Xanatos`Durran shows her how to unclasp the locket and then positions himself behind her, to clasp the locket around her neck, he seems to be closee, though he does't seem to be doing it intentionally.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there, a bit tense, though she isn't sure why. She says nothing, holding her breath while he's back there.
* Xanatos`Durran clasps it lightly and then moves back some, turning to face her. He observes to see how it looks on her. "Beautiful." He repeats again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It looks...good? 6She asks awkwardly
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head. "Very good." he notes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... that is good. 6She says, repeating the word again. She awkwardly takes another bite of her muffin.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her "So you just gave me a gift. Does that mean you care for me?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I... Well... 6She pauses, trying to speak. She finally resigns herself. "I find you decent to be around most of the time."
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "Well that pleases me to hear." He picks up his pictures. "I'm going to go frame this. Perhaps later we can go to the park and build a snowman?" He arches a brow toward her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... a snowman? 6She repeats.
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "A snow...statue. If you will." *he moves over and pulls up a piece of paper and draws a quick sketch of a snowman.* This is what they usually look lik.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... .... ... 6She stares at it blankly. "You humans are a strange species."
* Xanatos`Durran laughs. "It's a tradition, just like with the Christmas tree."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Then I will build a ... ... ... snowman. 6She says the last word quickly, as if it's hard to say

* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "Let me go grab my coat."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
* Xanatos`Durran moves off into his room, emerging moments later with his coat on.
* Xanatos`Durran picks up his picture and moves it into his room before he starts off toward the door, he stops, glancing back at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in front of a mirror since the time he left, staring at herself, or, in particular, the locket
* Xanatos`Durran just watches Erevis, a smile on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, seeing him. She turns and walks to the front door, waiting him for him to lead the way.
* Xanatos`Durran steps out and locks the door after Erevis steps out, he moves off down the hall, stepping into thee elevattor. Once Erevis got into the elevator he would push the lobby button.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She stands there quietly.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her. "Maybe after the snowman I can make us some Chrstmas dinner?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You cook?
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "Whenever I don't have cooks to do it for me." He smiles.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Xanatos`Durran glances back forward as the elevator opens, he steps outsidee and begins to make his way for the park.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows.
* Xanatos`Durran moves into the park after a while of walking and glances around as he comes to a stop in an open area. "Ok...where to start..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not know.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "Yes, I was just talking to myself." He kneels down and begins to make a snow ball.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him.
<Xanatos`Durran> Alright. We start with a snowball, then...*he places the snowball on the ground and begins to roll it, as it rolls it's size begins to grow.
* Xanatos`Durran finishes rolling when it is a large sized ball. He steps back and observes it so far. "Well, he now ha legs." He smirks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then awkwardly repeats his process, looking around to make sure no one sees her lowly status now.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her, he gets to work on his second portion. He gently picks it up to place it ontop of the lower half.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops after she makes a small round snow ball.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis and nods, a smile on his face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is ... satisfactory?
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin. "Well, you might want to try to make a bit bigger, like the size of mine."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, then begins to push the snow around again, making the ball bigger.
* Xanatos`Durran moves to roll up the last one, he lifts it up and sits it ontop the middle one, he steps back to observe his work.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes making one as big as him, then pauses. "This is satisfactory?"
* Xanatos`Durran laughs, "I Uhh...ment the size of my bottom one...not me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She considers how to fix this.
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin. "You could cut it in half and then roll it into a ball."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then waves his hand and rips the ball in half, then cheats and piles up the snow with her mind.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her. He proceeds to move around and look forthings to make the face of his snowman.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then puts the snow balls on top of each other, forming a snowman. She stands there, turning to watch him, wondering what he is doing now
* Xanatos`Durran steps back and reveals his snowmans face, rocks for the eyes, nose and mouth, and two sticks for arms.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She waves her hand and knocks rocks into her snowman's head, then picks up two sticks and plundges them into either side of it
* Xanatos`Durran notes she seemed to enjoy that last bit a little two much.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
* Xanatos`Durran crosses his arms and smiles at her. "Perfect."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good. 6She nods, standing there as she looks at him. "Now what?"
* Xanatos`Durran scratches his chin. "Well...."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits, standing there as she looks at him.
<Xanatos`Durran> We're done I guess. *he laughs again, he moves his hand to move a stray lock of hair out of his eye.* Congratulations on making your first snowman. *He continues laughing, enjoying her innocence.*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you ... laughing at me? 6She says sternly.
* Xanatos`Durran gasps lightly, looking shocked. "Not at all, I was laughing at how easy this turned out to be."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... easy? 6She repeats warningly.
<Xanatos`Durran> ...You accomplished the task quickly, much faster that my first time.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She relaxes, realizing he isn't laughing at her. "It is a simple task."
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "But I enjoyed it." He flashes her another smile.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is acceptable.
<Xanatos`Durran> You starting to get hungry? *he arches a brow, knowing she doesn't get hungry*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not currently hungry. I have another two hours until this body requires more food.
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin. "Care for a walk then?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A walk will do. 6She falls into pace beside him.
* Xanatos`Durran strolls through the park. He glances at her. "I've enjoyed my time with you thus far."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I.. 6She pauses, glancing at him, then ahead. "I thank you for the compliment."
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "Don't you think the snow is amazing?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is cold and white. What is so amazing about it?
<Xanatos`Durran> Ahh. Nevermind. *he shakes his head*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You like the snow. 6She notes.
<Xanatos`Durran> One of natures beauties. *he notes, glancing at Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. What is else is a "nature's beauty"?
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin. "I can think of a few things...Sunsets, beachs, the falling leaves in the autumn."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis merely listens with a blank expression
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "And I few other things." He winks at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why does your statement seem as if it requires a painful response?
* Xanatos`Durran bursts out laughing. "You don't have to reply at all."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis scowls at him and his laughing yet again, definitely unfamilar with humor.
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm not making fun of you. I just laugh whenever I find something funny.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... what is funny?
<Xanatos`Durran> Your comment was funny, it made me see how corny I was being.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good. I shall continue to make such comments then.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs again. "Oh hey, look at that." He comes to a stop before a frozen lake. "Wanna go skating?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... skating?
* Xanatos`Durran breaks off into a run and hops onto the ice, he stops, yet his body continues to slide. "Ice Skating!" He calls out to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis merely stares at him like he is crazy,
* Xanatos`Durran slides himself back toward her. "It's not so crazy." He notes to her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are sliding on frozen water.
<Xanatos`Durran> Whats so wrong with that?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... you could fall. 6She notes the obvious.
<Xanatos`Durran> And I would get wet. *He nods*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Obviously.
<Xanatos`Durran> And your point is?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... did we not just go over it?
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "You don't have to do this. I wont ask you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks at him. He probably just issued a challenge or something. Taking one step, she puts a foot on the ice.
* Xanatos`Durran slides himself around her, apparently he has done this before. He stays close incase, she happens to fall.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes another step, looking awkward, maybe even a little frustrated that something as simple as ice is giving her a hard time. She flips forward.
* Xanatos`Durran moves out quickly to catch her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is caught, flustered and frustrated at the ice. "I do not require assistance."
<Xanatos`Durran> We all do evenutally.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am more powerful than mere ice. 6She states flatly.
<Xanatos`Durran> Powerful maybe. But you don't have friction to keep yourself standing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis straightens herself up, then takes another defiant step forward. A bad move, as she just slips and falls backwards.
* Xanatos`Durran grits his teeth and hopefully tries to catch her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is grabbed by Xanatos, which would probably just make his own balance precarious now
* Xanatos`Durran notes he can't remain standing and at least tries to put himself between her and the ice.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lands on top of him, her eyes closed like a frightened girl would do. Laying on top of him, she opens her eyes, then looks down at him, then quickly slides off of him to lay on the ice next to him. "You should not have done that. You could hurt yourself."
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, chuckling a bit. "Well I believe I would deserve it." He laughs.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... why? 6She says, using her powers to just push herself up off the ice.
<Xanatos`Durran> I coaxed you into coming out here. *he says as he sits upu*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not allow myself to be coaxed into anything.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "Well then I deserved it for asking you to do it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was my decision. 6She says firmly, lifting him to his feet with her powers.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her. "Then think of it as another kind gesture."
* Xanatos`Durran nods at being lifted up. "Thank you." In reference for the help.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You fell because of me. 6She says simply, taking another step forward cautiously.
<Xanatos`Durran> The trick is. To slide, keep your feet on the ice at all times, make sure you find your balance, so you don't fall. *he demonstrates by sliding off some*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him, then slides forward cautiously. After a moment, she seems to have completely gotten the hang of it.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her, "Always the quick learner."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She says without modesty, sliding over to where Xanatos is standing.
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin. "It's pretty entertaining, right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I find it a challenge to be beaten.
<Xanatos`Durran> You want to race then?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You wish to race... me? 6She asks slowly.
<Xanatos`Durran> Let's just see if I can beat you. *hee smiles at her*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may try. 6She says casually.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs, "Ready when you are." He winks at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am ready.
* Xanatos`Durran kneels down lightly, "3. 2. 1. Go!" He pushes off along with her, quickly moving.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides along, never about to lose to a mortal human like Durran.
* Xanatos`Durran reaches toward the end of the lake and begins to make a turn, sliding beside Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes the turn, sliding as fast as she can, trying to outpace Durran.
* Xanatos`Durran grins at her as he begins to pick up the pace as well, not about to be left behiind.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis narrows her eyes.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls ahead of her coming into the last turn.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to make the turn, but ends up wiping out and sliding along the ice into a snowbank.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: LOL
* Xanatos`Durran slides to a halt and moves over to check on her.
<DeathStar> NRP: Did you just...laugh?
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP:Not in character, but yes. I wasn't excpecting that.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to push herself up slowly, refusing to look in Durran's direection
<Xanatos`Durran> "You ok?" He asks, very concerned.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine. 6She says darkly, standing up slowly with her back to him.
<Xanatos`Durran> "Turn around and let me look at you. Make sure you are ok."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, her face a little red from being scraped and a slight cut on her cheek. It seems she gave new meaning to face first.
* Xanatos`Durran moves over and leans in close to inspect the cut.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts slightly away. "It is nothing."
* Xanatos`Durran looks at her, "Yes, it is something. I can't have you getting hurt on me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not hurt. 6She says stubbornly.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "You're so cute when you're being stubborn." He notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, taken back by that. She looks at him oddly, her eyes bigger than normal and directly focused on him. "Do not toy with me."
<Xanatos`Durran> Why would I toy with you? *he tilts his head to the side*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She says nothing, trying to evaluate his comments.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles to her. "I think it is about time we go home."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is acceptable.

<DeathStar> Location: Dragoon Colony
<DeathStar> 6* Things are crazy on the new world as people are trying to get everything in place. It seems everything is hectic, but happy here, as labor forces are helping to establish things. However, Chad would have been set off to the side, alone, for the time being, until the door opens to the room he's in.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hi! 6She rushes in and grabs him in a bear hug, lifting him up with joy.
<Chad`Winters> GAH! *is easily lifted off the ground, he looks down at her a smug look on his face* Hey there Zephy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets him go. "Hi! You really came! I thought you were just kidding, since Cheryl said I shouldn't hold my breath on it but I told her I could hold my breath a long time."
<Chad`Winters> 6Let's out a laugh as he reaches the back of his head and scratches it. 1"I see Cheryl has developed a sense of cynicism...So how are things going around here? Obviously hectic.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. 6She calms down immediately. "Ariel's been busy getting everything set up and improved. And Cheryl's busy barking orders, acting like she's annoyed, but you can tell she's enjoying it.
<Chad`Winters> Really now? What a character...I hope you're not taking too much after her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, they all pretty much are telling me to stay out of the way. Something about me being "not in the right frame of mind" for the job.
<Chad`Winters> And why aren't you in the right state of mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, putting a finger to the side of her face. "Something about me not having it in me to boss people around."
<Chad`Winters> You did a wonderful job when I needed help.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I told them I could "crack the whip" with the best of them. 6She says with a big smile.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure you probably made Cheryl feel threatened.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You think so? 6She asks excitedly.
<Chad`Winters> Well no one likes competition.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? Why? 6She tilts her head.
<Chad`Winters> Well, if I remember correctly she had quite the skill with the whip, so by saying you could crack the whip with the best of them, I'm sure she felt her abilities being challenged.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. ... I should go apologize to her. 6She says with concern.
<Chad`Winters> No, it's alright Zeph.
<Chad`Winters> I've....I've got something to ask you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What? 6She stops, looking at him keenly, almost as if she's holding her breath
<Chad`Winters> I need you to take care of something for me...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What sort of something?
* Chad`Winters turns backwards, motioning towards something with his hand. A second later a boy of atleast 18 with short brown hair and grey eyes steps out from the shadows wearing plain civilian clothes, he seems to have a sort of timid feel to him but yet he seems to be studying Zephyr closely.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head at him. "Hello."
<Chad`Winters> 6The boy opens his mouth as if mimicing Zephyr. 1"He...llo..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks. "What's your name?"
<Chad`Winters> 6The boy looks over at Chad. 1"His name...is Dias."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dias. Hello, Dias. My name is Zephyr. 6She holds out her hand to him, giving him a big smile.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Eyes the hand cautiously, then looks over at Chad who just nods. He slowly reaches his hand out awkwardly as if never doing this before. 1"Hello Zeph...er..
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes it, giving him a bigger smile. "It's nice to meet you."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Watches her shake it, his hand being jerked along, he just nods and then looks at his hand
<Chad`Winters> Dias here....Is...Basically he's like me...But yet he was in stasis his entire life.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Does he know anything about himself? 6She asks, letting go of his hand and staring up at him
<Chad`Winters> He's able to speak, but they tend to be....short sentences at the most.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was like that once! 6She says brightly.
<Chad`Winters> And that's why...I think you'd be best for him Zephy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> *tilts his head* Zeph...y?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me? 6She looks at Chad.
<Chad`Winters> You most of all, knows what he's going to be going through.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You want me to ... watch him? 6She asks, glancing at Dias now, as if intimidated.
* Chad`Winters drops his arms to his sides, his hands going to his pockets. 1"Quite frankly...You're the only one I can ask to do this...Dias would wind up taking care of Xanatos, Ka...Erevis is out of the question. Darien's far too busy...And who know's how he'd turn up if Shiva took care of him while I'm with Janus.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I..I.. 6She looks timid, eyeing him. "I suppose I can try."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Looks at his finger then scratches his nose with one finger, an odd look on his face.
<Chad`Winters> I'll take care of all the expenses...*he pulls out a Holocard and hands it to her* Just use this....You've got a huge family...I'm sure if things get to hectic, the others can help with him.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at it, then at Chad. She smiles at him. "Of course. Anything for you, Chad." 6She turns to look at Dias. "I'll be your big sis from now on."
* Chad`Winters turns to Dias and places an arm on his shoulder, who in turn tenses slightly then relaxes and looks at him. 1"Zephyr here will take care of you while I'm busy, I'll be sure to keep in contact with you atleast once a week...I just wish it didn't have to be like this."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tilts his head slightly then nods akwardly, he then moves over next to Zephyr. 1"Sis....?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> *extends his hand towards Zephyr*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head and takes his hand into a shake. "We're going to become great friends, I think, Dias."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Friends...
<DeathStar> NRP: *Dias watches porn and tries it out with Cheryl. Zephyr calls Chad to tell him Dias is dead*
* Chad`Winters moves over to Zephyr and gives her a kiss on the cheek. 1"I owe you for this Zephyr."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: hahaha
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives him a smile. "It's nothing. I'm glad I could help."
<Chad`Winters> He seems to enjoy the Holovid...Probably likes it because he can learn from it the quickest.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But it's filled with nonsense. He should read books! 6She says firmly.
* Chad`Winters smirks. 1"And that's why I chose you."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts an arm around Dias. "I'll take you to my room and we'll start reading right away." 6She practically leads the poor boy away.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is practically dragged away, he turns his head back quickly as he's dragged along and glances at Chad, a look of fear on his face.

<DeathStar> Location: Xan's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* It is early and Xanatos would have just arisen from his bed...
* Xanatos`Durran yawns as he sits up and scratches the back of his neck. He moves his feet off of the side of his bed and stands up, wearing only his boxers he moves over to his closet to gather some clothing. Pulling on a loose pair of shorts and a simple white t-shirt, Durran would move out of his room and head toward the kitchen to made some breakfast.
<DeathStar> 6* The kitchen is empty of any signs of life
* Xanatos`Durran scratches his chin as he opens up his fridge, he would begin to gather supplies for breakfast. Eggs, milk and bacon.
<DeathStar> 6* Silence so far.
* Xanatos`Durran glances back toward Erevis' door, he narrows his eyes and sets the stuff on the counter. Walking over to the door, Durran would call out lightly, so that any person awake would hear him, but a person asleep wouldn't be disturbed. "Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Silence.
* Xanatos`Durran presses his ear to the door. If he heard nothing, he would open it.
<DeathStar> 6* The room is empty. The bed neatly folded. Everything in place.
* Xanatos`Durran steps back and glances toward the balcony.
<DeathStar> 6* Empty.
* Xanatos`Durran calls out her name again as he heads towards his room in a bit of a hurry.
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
* Xanatos`Durran comes back out of his room in warmer clothing, stopping by the door, he grabs his coat and pulls it on, stepping off and making his way outside.
<DeathStar> 6* It's early morning and few people are out, getting ready for work.
* Xanatos`Durran puts his hands into his pockets and exhales slowly glancing around. He wonders outloud, "Where could she be?" He then decides to go to the park, stepping off.
<DeathStar> 6* As he works his way toward the park, it seems rather empty. Except for one person, sliding around on the ice. From here, all he can tell is that it's a female with red hair.
<DeathStar> 6* Who wears a blue military uniform.
* Xanatos`Durran allows a small smiles to slide on his face as he steps upto the ice pond.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, a determined look on her face, continues to slide, trying to make tight turns. She looks like she's probably fallen a lot, but her head holds high with pride despite it.
* Xanatos`Durran says nothing, he wouldn't want to bother her. He just allows that smile to linger on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides around and sees him, pausing in surprise. "I apologize. I lost track of the time."
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head, "I was worried." He notes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did not mean to cause you worry. I will be more mindful of the time.
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his head. "It's ok. All I ask is you leave me a note next time." He pauses and glances at her, "So have you gotten better?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have improved marginally though not to my satisfaciton.
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head. "Practice makes perfect." He smiles at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A fairly accurate statement.
<Xanatos`Durran> I was just about to make breakfast. Are you getting hungry?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She lowers her head in a nod, glancing back up.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "I was planning on making bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy." He winks at her and rubs his belly. "Good stuff."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... why are you rubbing your belly...? 6She asks hesitantly.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles, "Just to show that I am hungry. So hungry that I think my stomach might be trying to eat my backbone." He smiles.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your stomach is incapable of eating your spinal cord.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs, "Yes, it is just an old saying. Come'on." He smiles, and turns. Waiting for her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows after him, one handle adjusting the locket around her neck
<DeathStar> (Hand)
Session Close: Sun Jun 18 00:00:00 2006
Session Start: Sun Jun 18 00:00:00 2006
Session Ident: #pax-season6session1prelude1
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her. "The way you strive to succeed. It inspires me." He admits to her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you mean? 6She asks him, glancing at him out of the corner of her eyes
<Xanatos`Durran> Though at first you failed, you have yet to give up. That is a rare things in this time. It causes me to feel like I should work harder to succeed at things I do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> One should always be the best at whatever they attempt to do. Anything less is a waste of one's time.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles again and nods, "I'll agree to that."
* Xanatos`Durran holds the door open for Erevis to enter their building.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, looking at him, then at the door. "Should you not enter?"
* Xanatos`Durran smirks again, "I'm holding the door open for you. Long ago, men would do this whenever they were on a date with a girl they fancied.'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... so you are saying you are on a date with me - who you fancy? 6She repeats in a stone dead voice.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs, "Not at all, i'm just being nice."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She eyes him, then walks in.
* Xanatos`Durran steps in after her, making his way their apartment.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the apartment, sitting down. She adjusts her ragged uniform as she waits at the table.
* Xanatos`Durran moves over to gather his things back up and fires up the stove, starting to cook. He begins to whistle while he works.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares blankly at nothing, probably tuned out yet again
* Xanatos`Durran moves around the kitchen with ease, over the past month he has gotten used to it. He moves over to the table and sets down two pieces of toast, with some butter and jam. Then he sits down a plate for Erevis, with Bacon, Eggs, Hashbrowns, and Biscuits with Gravy. He moves to gather his plate and sits it down in front of his seat, then he sits down a apple juice by his plate and a glass of milk by Erevis'.
<Xanatos`Durran> 12ォCuttinサ5 he sits down the silverware. He sits down and looks at her. He flashes her a smile before taking a bite of his eggs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him blankly, taking her fork into her hand and systematically eating each portion of the food one at a time, like a general taking out armies.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Lol. Nice comparison.
<DeathStar> NRP: Thanks
* Xanatos`Durran watches her eat. "Does it taste alrigt?" He asks after taking a drink of apple juice.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Taste....? It... .. is not unpleasant in my mouth. 6She notes, considering the question
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "Well then that is good." He resumes eating again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes her food at record speeds, drinking the milk quickly.
* Xanatos`Durran quirks a brow at her. "My mother used to tell me that if I kept eating fast, that one day my stomach would explode."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then why would you risk eating?
<Xanatos`Durran> I believe she just told me that so I would eat slower. Usually whenever I would eat fast, I would get a stomach ache. Since I was forcing so much food on my stomach to digest all at once.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. How frail, your bodies. 6She notes.,
* Xanatos`Durran laughs at that. "Sometimes the frailest of things, can have the biggest impact on things."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Another human saying?
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "You are catching on."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> After a while, any being would catch on that humans enjoying their sayings.
<Xanatos`Durran> Not the Ridariums. They just say, "Me angry! Me smash you face!" *he laughs at that*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps that is one of their sayings.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs harder now, when he finishes his laugh he looks at her. "Y'know, you're probably right."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies him.
* Xanatos`Durran looks at her and tilts his head to the side. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. You do onot.
* Xanatos`Durran sits there, staring at her. "So...." he pauses. "What do you want to do today?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have no desire at this time.
* Xanatos`Durran picks up his finished plate and then picks up Erevis'. He moves over to the sink and places them in it, then gathers up the glasses. He then turns on the water, prepping it so that he can wash the dishes. "You wanna dry for me?"
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. I read the last sentence first and was like WTF?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is within my power. 6She notes easy enough, standing and moving over.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Lol. :P
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head and tosses her a towel, he begins to wash the dishes, and the pans used to make the food.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds the towel.
* Xanatos`Durran places a washed dish in the second part of the sink, and turns on the cold water, rinsing it off, he extends it to Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the dish, then wipes it with the towel, like she's seen Durran do plenty of times. She closes her eyes as she works, not needing to see.
* Xanatos`Durran continues to wash and rinse the dishes, stepping back after he finished, watching the water drain.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes drying each dish, putting them up. She opens her eyes again after finished.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her, he bows his head lightly. "Thank you for your assistance."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... it was nothing.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "So...." he glances around. "What to do..." He says lowly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You must find something to constantly do. 6She notes.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs. "I get bored too easy I guess." He smiles.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Typical.
<Xanatos`Durran> Typical? *he repeats*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Human behavior. You must always have something to keep your minds busy.
<Xanatos`Durran> When our minds aren't busy, we begin to linger on topics that we would rather not face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. So you keep busy so you do not think.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles, "Pretty much. Too much thinking can definitely be a bad thing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No wonder you all do not face realities.
* Xanatos`Durran glances down at the ground, "I guess we wouldn't be humans if we didn't have our own special types of problems."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps. It makes you a unique dysfunctional race.
<Xanatos`Durran> All races have a problem or too. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you indicating something? 6She asks harshly.
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: Two..
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow at Erevis. "No...just saying what is true. Every race has a flaw or two. It is natural to be imperfect and there is nothing wrong with it either."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Xanatos`Durran> Do you feel otherwise?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You ... could be correct. 6She finally admits.
<Xanatos`Durran> Could be? *he smiles*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... you are correct. 6She says annoyedly.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles. "I think I might go sit down on the couch..." He comments before turning to walk intto the living area.
<DeathStar> Session Ends
* #pax-season6session1prelude1 is being logged
<DeathStar> Unless you had some couch scene planned out
<Xanatos`Durran> Not really.
<Xanatos`Durran> ;P
* DeathStar sits there, relaxing.
<Xanatos`Durran> One down, one to go. :P
<DeathStar> Oh, you mean, right now?
<Xanatos`Durran> No. Meaning you only have one more session to finish before your free for the night.
<DeathStar> Ooooh
<DeathStar> Okay, mini Part 2
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.12.31
<DeathStar> Location: Xan's Apartment. Night.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Glances at you.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: **
<DeathStar> NRP: What?
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I was talking about TNG. :P
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Meaning after you finished TNG, you would be done for the night.
<DeathStar> NRP: ... RP!
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Lol. ok.
<DeathStar> NRP: BEGIN!
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: ...I uhh. Ok I'll start somewhere.
* Xanatos`Durran is currently in the kitchen making drinks it would appear. While the holo-vid is on, with people talking about news years.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is on the balcony, having once again escaped the point of such a day, and is merely in the cold, watching the snow
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Piss. SOrry for the delay.
<DeathStar> NRP: You should be
* Xanatos`Durran moves into the living area with two glasses of alcohol and then moves past it to step out onto the balcony. "Happy New year." He says with a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him. "What is so happy?"
* Xanatos`Durran extends to her a drink, and tilts his head to the side. "What isn't there to be happy about?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the drink. "I imagine there would be a lot. For you."
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow to her. "Oh? Such as?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> To be bluntly obvious. Me. 6She says, turning to look out at the city.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "And whats so great about you?" He glances at her. A sly look on his face.
<DeathStar> NRP: Oh, shit. I meant, there wouldn't be a lot
<DeathStar> NRP: So, uh, redo yours. :)
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: LOL.
<DeathStar> NRP: There wouldn't be a lot to be happy about
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes as he thinks for a moment. "What is wrong with you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You know frankly what I am referring to.
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his hand dismissively. "She left me. If that incident didn't happen. Well then I would probably be alone....or dead." He says.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She stands there, glancing down at the contents of her cup shaking. She merely brings it up to her lips and drinks it all.
* Xanatos`Durran watches her, wondering if not even the strongest drink he could thinkn of, would knock her off her toes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The taste..of this.. 6She makes a face.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her. "I was hoping I'd get a face from this."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I.. I cannot describe it. 6She stares at the cup with what could be revulsion. She then hands it back. "Provide me more so I can experience this taste again."
* Xanatos`Durran nods and hands her his cup, since he never took a drink.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: It is the same stuff that he used to fix for Katrina. Back in Season 1.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drinks it, making the same face again.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her. "You like it?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps so. 6She says, looking around as she experiences the taste.
<Xanatos`Durran> My own special drink. To celebrate the ending of one long year. And then beginning of a fresh one. With new adventures.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. New adventures. 6She repeats, gesturing at him. "And what new adventures do you see?"
<DeathStar> (Seek)
<Xanatos`Durran> ...The good kind? *he shrugs* Any. Maybe less dangerous. *he chuckles*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There are things far more dangerous in this galaxy than anything you have seen. 6She says darkly.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes her. "Like what?" he simply asks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I.. 6she shakes her head, then pauses, blinking as she reaches out to touch the balcony railing. "Odd."
* Xanatos`Durran watches her. Very interested. "Something wrong?'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My ... balance is impaired. This body must be unadequate.
<Xanatos`Durran> No. It is in the after affect of alcohol. Congratulations, you've just now gotten yourself drunk. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You...did this to me? 6She notes harshly.
<Xanatos`Durran> It wasn't in bad intention.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds on, blinking her eyes. "What sort of.. magic is this..."
<Xanatos`Durran> It is no magic. Alcohol impairs judgement and motor skills. But humans often indulge in it to forget the pains of being alive. *he moves out to help keep her standing*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans against him, shaking her head. "More tricks to hide from...truths..." 6She murmurs, looking up at him.
<Xanatos`Durran> Thats what we humans are good at. *he holds her there for a moment.* Would you like to sit down?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not require sitting. 6She snaps, rubbing her face a little with her hand, then glancing at it.
<Xanatos`Durran> I would strongly suggest it. *he seems to not even allow her sudden snap to bother him*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis laughs suddenly. "Suggest it..." 6She looks up at him, squinting. "I can handle anything you throw my way." 6She stands up on her own will
<Xanatos`Durran> Oh? Is that a challenge?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A simple fact. I am above anything you prepare.
* Xanatos`Durran grins devilishly. "Then come with me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks slowly after him.
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the kitchen and grabs a large pitcher of an orange colored beverage. The same as in the glasses. He sits it down on the table. Then takes a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down, reaching for the pitcher defiantly.
* Xanatos`Durran watches her. "Let's just see how much of this you'll be able to take before you pass out."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him, then begins to drink from the pitcher directly, her eyes never leaving him.
* Xanatos`Durran stares into her eyes, he can't help but smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses after a moment, making a face of revulsion as she drinks 1/4th of it. She kind of sits there.
* Xanatos`Durran watches her closely. "Don't worry. I'll hold your hair."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Why? 6She states awkwardly, setting the pitcher down.
<Xanatos`Durran> Eventually. All that. *points to the pitcher* Will come back up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... what sort of trickery is this? 6She says in revolution
<Xanatos`Durran> It's called vomitting. Humans do with whenever they become sick.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She leans her forehead on her arm.
* Xanatos`Durran watches her. "You ok?" he asks after a moment.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm fine, Xanatos. 6She says softly. She fumbles around for the pitcher without looking up
* Xanatos`Durran frowns as he watches her now. "So stubborn." He speaks softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up at him. "What?"
<Xanatos`Durran> There's still liquid in the container. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Obviously. 6She says, then laughs like Kat would. She flinches suddenly, holding her forehead again.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles despite himself. He watches her with interest.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You enjoy this. 6She says darkly.
<Xanatos`Durran> No. Well, maybe just a little. *he admits to her*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rubs her face. "Hundreds of drinks..."
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow. "Hundreds...of..drinks?" He repeats.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have ...had hundreds of drinks...I .. will not be...defeated...by this one...
<Xanatos`Durran> Ah but this one if all of those drinks mixed together. *he smiles slyly*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have..had your drinks...before... 6She states defiantly, leaning her forehead on her arm again
<Xanatos`Durran> But this one is special. I've added more since then.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Xanatos`Durran> Think about it clearly. There are a few more tastes along with the drink now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She looks up at him.
* Xanatos`Durran stares at her. "You don't have to finish it." He states simply.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You..think I cannot...? 6She says suddenly.
<Xanatos`Durran> No. I believe you can. But I don't want you to get sicker than you already are.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You...think she could do it... 6She says uneasily, eyeing the pitcher, grabbing it.
* Xanatos`Durran places his hand on hers, to stop her. "You're always worried that I'm confusing you and her. But i'm not. You are Erevis and she was Katrina. Though similar, you are still very much different."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hestitates, then drops her hand. "The room won't quit spinning."
<Xanatos`Durran> Then you should lie down. Come'on. I'll help you. Oh, and please tell me if you feel like you stomach is trying to jump out of your throat.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis merely makes a mumbling sound, not moving. She breathes softly, perhaps asleep
* Xanatos`Durran smiles and gently moves to pick her up, and carry her to her room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes at one point. "I remember this."
<Xanatos`Durran> I've did this often. *He notes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. You have.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles and places her in the bed, he moves to cover her up. "You sleep good, wake me up if you need me." He smiles to her.

Session Close: Sun Jun 18 03:33:38 2006
Session Start: Mon Jun 19 21:50:37 2006
Session Ident: #pax-season6session1prelude1
* Logging #pax-season6session1prelude1 to 'logs\EsperNet\#pax-season6session1prelude1.20060619.log'
* Xanatos`Durran poses.
<DeathStar> 6* Durran is outside, waiting for the countdown to midnight, which is still a little while away.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: You...didn't countdown. *weeps*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP; brb pone.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Ok i'm back.
* Xanatos`Durran has his arms crossed as he sits on the couch, watching the holo-vid story on the countdown. He glances back toward Erevis' door, before returning his gaze to the holo-vid.
<DeathStar> 6* The holovid is discussing the past year's events and predictions for the future, taking polls, etc.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls himself up and moves over to Erevis' door. He pokes his head in quietly to check up on her. Apparently he feels guilty for getting her drunk.
<DeathStar> 6* The room appears to be empty....
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes. He didn't hear a door open, how could she have left the room? Was he so focused on the holo-vid that he completely blocked everything else. Durran gently shakes his head to shake away his thoughts and moves over to the bathroom door. "Erevis...are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* No one in the bathroom. Though he could hear movement from under the bed.
* Xanatos`Durran moves back into the room and moves over beside the bed, he kneels down and glaces under it. "Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up at him, sweat on her forehead. "Where's Sabrina?"
<Xanatos`Durran> S...sabrina? *he eyes her oddly*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My cat. 6She says flatly, looking around
<Xanatos`Durran> Y...your what? *he tilts his head to the side*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My cat. 6She says in anger, slamming her hand and the bed jumps.
<Xanatos`Durran> I..I dunno. I can help you look for her...err it. *he scratches his head, not sure what is going on*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you, XAnatos. 6She begins to look again
* Xanatos`Durran hesistates before he moves to look around the room for a cat. He is quite confused, he doesn't ever remember Erevis having a cat. "What did..it...look like?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> White. Small. Blue eyes.
<Xanatos`Durran> White...small...blue eyes. *He mumbles to himself as he looks around.* And how long have you had this cat?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I... 6She closes her eyes. "Have no cat." 6She says flatly, pulling herself up and standing there, swaying.
* Xanatos`Durran moves over to help Erevis stand strait. "Umm...are you alright?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine. A mere lapse in judgement.
<Xanatos`Durran> Have you ever had a cat before? A small white one with blue eyes?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Never. 6She says firmly, though it's hasty, like she knows something
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes. "....Never." He repeats and moves to look at her in the face. "There's something you aren't telling me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks away, looking slightly ill, but not too bad off.
* Xanatos`Durran stands there. "Come'on now. I keep secrets very well." He smiles lightly, when speaking the comforting words.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Katrina had a cat called Sabrina when she was younger. 6She says finally, not looking at him
<Xanatos`Durran> Ah. *he says softly* Could it be that the alcohol caused you to relive one of Katrina's memories?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing, probably having come to that conclusion long ago. She lays down on the bed.
* Xanatos`Durran kneels down beside her. "I'm sorry." he breathes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You apologize a lot. 6She notes, closing her eyes, though she isn't going to sleep.
<Xanatos`Durran> I do alot of things that I feel I should apologize for. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Obviously.
<Xanatos`Durran> I didn't use to be like that. *he says after a moment* Infact I never would apologize, always thouoght I was right.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And what changed...? 6She asks slowly, opening her eyes to look at him
<Xanatos`Durran> I got older. Became more humble I guess. I slowly started worrying about other peoples feelings and they way I was being portrayed...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmm.
* Xanatos`Durran stares at her, a hint of a smile on the edge of his lips. "How do you feel?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been through this thousands of times. 6She says quietly, then pauses, frowning. "I am fine."
<Xanatos`Durran> Good. *he watches her calmly* Think you are well enough to tell me a bit about yourself?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...what do you want to know?
<Xanatos`Durran> All that you can tell me. It is clear that you remember your past before your slumber. I'd like to know more.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> IT is complicated. I...find it difficult to speak about.
<Xanatos`Durran> I see. How about we try to take it slowly. Why don't you tell me the very first thing that you can remember?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A baby.
<Xanatos`Durran> You remember A baby, or being a baby? *he asks calmly, interested to know*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A baby. 6She speaks with her eyes closed. "A younger brother."
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Go on." He urges her softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis groans. "Darkness. I ...remember darkness first."
* Xanatos`Durran gets a perplexed look. "Its ok. Don't strain too hard. What happened after the darkness?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks up in the bed, looking Xanatos on the face. She stares at him. "I'm dead. Dying." 6She takes deep breaths. "Horrific drink magic."
<Xanatos`Durran> No, no. It's alright, it was just alcohol...It'll be ok.*he tries to comfort her*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him. "I remember when I first saw you...cocky...so arrogantly cocky...Where is your... cockiness...now?"
<Xanatos`Durran> I have no need for it....not any longer.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ha.
<Xanatos`Durran> And do you know why? *He looks into her eyes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "You walked into my life, and made me fall in love."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes deep breaths, either from being sick, or from other reasons. "Did I? Did she? Who? I...I am drowning in illusions."
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head. "Illusions..." He speaks softly. "How are you so sure they are illusions?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> These are not my thoughts, yet I cannot tell them apart anymore. 6She hisses, obviously too drunk to tell what is what in her brain
<Xanatos`Durran> Perhaps...*he pauses* Perhaps your thoughts are slowly being combined with the other person inside of you? *he says after lightly as if it would be no big deal*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is your doing. 6She says indignantly, like a small child
<Xanatos`Durran> How is it my doing?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was fine before you poisoned me with your alcoholic drink. 6She says accusingly.
<Xanatos`Durran> I didn't plan on this happening. Search my emotions and you would find that I speak the truth.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm drownign in emotions already. 6She says, rubbing the sides of her face, then she grabs XAn, almost threateningly. "I should destroy you for this agony."
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes, "You would be making a mistake." He says calmy and with no hint of it being threat in his voicee.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slumps back on the bed. "I apologize. I cannot think clearly."
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head and sits down beside her. "I understand. I sorry for my part in all of this." He lays a comforting hand gently on Erevis' shoulder. "If there is anything I can do to help. You know I will."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...where is my coffee mug? 6She asks, looking around, despite never drinking coffee.
* Xanatos`Durran sits there. "It blew up with the station I would imagine." He speaks, knowing that Katrina always drank coffee from one certain mug.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I... see. 6She closes her eyes again, though she's clearly awake. "What is coffee?"
<Xanatos`Durran> A caffinated drink that people usually drink to keep them awake. Or wake them up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Foolish human behavior. 6She says softly
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her. Removing his hand and sitting there.
<DeathStar> 6* The other room, the countdown can be heard chanting. Ten seconds away from a new year.
<Xanatos`Durran> It's almost the new year. *he speaks softly* Count down with me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Countdown to what? 6She says sluggishly, opening her eyes and barely hearing the 8, 7.
<Xanatos`Durran> The new year. A new year full of hope and new beginnings. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> <Eerevis> Mmm. 4. 3. 2. 6She says sluggishly, probably too out of it to know what she's counting down toward. Probably thinking it ends with an explosion
* Xanatos`Durran smiles and stands up, to lay her down to sleep. "1." *he says in the same soft tone, he leans in to kiss her on the forehead* "Goodnight Beautiful."

* #pax-season6session1TeamDarien is being logged
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.1.10
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* Darien Starr, having insisted that he gather everyone in a van so they could meet, before going to their new living situation, has just gathered the awkward group of misfits into the van, when no sooner than a Janus military vehicle was robbed across the street, almost at the exact time he picked for their meeting, and now they are all speeding down the street after the criminal vehicle - and having none of the time to introduce themselves
* Xanatos`Durran sits in the passanger seat, looking at Darien. "This...this is insane." he says after a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just grins, jerking the van down a side street as the criminal vehicle tries to escape. Erevis sits neutrally in the seat beside Cassandra
<Cassandra_Arakawa> The timing is suspect...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is excited. 6She notes dryly of Darien. She's still wearing her old inspector uniform, which looks like it's been worn every day for 2 months
* Xanatos`Durran notes it HAS been worn everyday for two months and just shakes his head. "So...these mysterious robbers, can I shoot them?" he pulls out his pistols. A grin rising at the edge of his lips.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They are stealing hi-tech military equipment. 6He says, obviously enjoying himself. He speeds the van up next to the criminal vehicle, who tries to ram them
* Xanatos`Durran turns to look at the criminal vehicle, he watches closely as Darien rams, waiting for a chance to lean out the window and shoot at the enemy.
<Setsuna`> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy vehicle, after being shot, speeds ahead a little, weaving in and out of traffic.
<Xanatos`Durran> Oh piss. I think i'll actually have to shoot at their tires...
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Sooooo...who wants to rub this in Janus' face that some of their equipment got boosted?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I could make you our PR person, Arakawa, if you want.
* Xanatos`Durran leans back out the window, waiting for Darien to get in position, he would then fire at the tires of the enemy vehicle.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Do we even need a PR person? I mean, we're in the cloak and dagger biz.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's why I offered it to you--shit, hold on. 6He watches the enemy vehicle get hit in the tires, them pop, and the vehicle go spinning into the air and smashing into a nearby pole
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spins the wheel to avoid being hit
* Xanatos`Durran lets out a low whistle as he pulls himself in. "I think I got em chief."
* Setsuna` sits quietly in the back of the van, hands folded in her lap
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see that. 6He brings his vehicle to a stop, glancing out at the smoking vehicle. "Not bad."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Let's move then before something else happens. *unbuckles*
<Xanatos`Durran> Soo...who is that? *he glances back at Setsuna*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: *hugs Sil*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to refuse to look in Sil's direction, for whatever reason
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up as the police arrives. "Another time, kids. Lets get you to your house." 6He drives away and into a side street.
<Setsuna`> "You always drive like that, don't you?"
* Xanatos`Durran glances back to the scene as they leave. "Wait...we don't even get to arrest them and look cool?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> You should see my fly. 6He says with a grin.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're suppose to avoid cameras, Durran. If you can manage that.
* Setsuna` just looks at Durran like he's crazy, after Darien's comment.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "Then, no one would get to see my beautiful face." He lets out a sly smirk and glances at Erevis. He gives her a wink before turning to sit in the seat right.
* Setsuna` shakes her head in disbelief at his own.
<DeathStar> <Darien> By the way, Durran, I have to ask you. Why the hell didn't you buy her another outfit? 6He says with a snot.
<DeathStar> (snort)
<Cassandra_Arakawa> You have no face, Xan.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs. "I asked her if she wanted to wear something else..." He glancesat Cass and sticks his toungue out. His mood seems to have lightened greatly over the two months with Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "Cassandra, buy Erevis clothes."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Will do.
* Setsuna` turns her attention to Cassandra in an analytical manner.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls up in what appears to be a standard housing area, driving along. He suddenly pulls up his van into a two story house. He turns off the van. "This is your living quarters."
* Xanatos`Durran taps his finger on the passenger arm rest and glances at Darien. "...I hope Wally isn't home."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> This is it?
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I pictured that as him driving iNTO the home. :S
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wally?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien unbuckles himself and steps outside the car, adjusting his uniform as he walks towards the house, pulling out a set of keys.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Darien. "Wally Cleaver..." He eyes Darien. "You don't watch the old Holo-vid reruns do you?" He also steps out of the van and waits for Erevis.
* Setsuna` hops out of the van and heads after Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finally gets out, looking up at the building
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well, Xan. Your new callsign is Beav. *gets out*
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... you talk, but I don't hear anything. 6He motions at his right ear. 6He says to Durran
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Cassandra. "Least she knows what i'm talking about." shakes his head*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien unlocks the door, then tosses Cassandra the keys. "Come on in."
* Cassandra_Arakawa catches the keys and then heads inside.
* Setsuna` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: SNIPER ON THE ROOF!
<DeathStar> NRP: SHIT
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: And then there was 3.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leads them into the living room area, pointing at the big screen TV, couch, chairs, etc, then motions into the fully stocked kitchen. "As you can see, I have everything already bought for your needs."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> No mine field? I'm disappointed.
* Xanatos`Durran lets out yet another low whistle. "Wow...."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls his eyes, then taps on a wall and a panel opens up, revealing high grade, military hardware. "This is what you will want, no doubt, Cass."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> 6<14Cassandra6> "The panel opens too slow. Needs to be a second faster."
* Setsuna` has joined #pax-season6session1TeamDarien
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm sure Durran can fix that for you. 6He says with a laugh, closing the weapons panel.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there blankly.
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow. "Me?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So let's have the tour.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Unless you want to make you female companions do it.
* Xanatos`Durran glances around. "Why wouldn't they?" He eyes Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, moving along, pointing out the various utilities, chairs, table tops, then laundry room, the equipment, hidden floor panel in the kitchen with a listening device.
<Setsuna`> "Interesting place you've got set up here."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Technically speaking, you're all investigators. You go to various units, sniff out a crime, etc. But as you all know, you're going to be doing a lot more off the book jobs.
* Xanatos`Durran rubs the back of his head as he listens to Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Up the stairs. 6He begins to march up the stairs.
* Setsuna` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Xanatos`Durran waits for Erevis to go ahead of him before moving up the stairs.
* Cassandra_Arakawa heads upstairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks as if she's just going to stay in the living room
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow at Erevis. "You coming?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have no need.
<Xanatos`Durran> No...need? *he looks at her confused*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien arrives at the top, tapping on the top step to reveal a grenade. "Try not to use this unless you really need to use it."
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head and moves up the stairs.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Expanded awareness, Xan!
* Setsuna` has joined #pax-season6session1TeamDarien
<Xanatos`Durran> Can it. *he steps up to them, looking at the grenade*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien closes the compartment, then motions at the bedrooms. "There's five bedrooms. They are yours to modify as you see fit, but don't give away your identities."
<Xanatos`Durran> ....So do we have to go by special code names and all of that?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Only if your codename is Dipshit. 6He notes dryly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You are living your real lives right here. While on mission, we might come up with appropriate names, though.
<Setsuna`> "...I hope you didn't find us some annoying neighbors as well."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Classic holovid neighbors. 6He says with a smile.
<Setsuna`> "Right... we're doomed."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, you guys get settled in. I'm going to be in the office. I'll come get you all later. Be sure to bond. Hoorah. 6He turns and slides down the banister and hurries out the door, driving off with the only car.
* Xanatos`Durran glances around as Darien leaves. ".....I call tv." He moves back down the steps and turns the tv on as he sits down on the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps standing there, obviously content not to go anywhere in the house. She has a locket around her neck, the only unusual thing about her loks
* Xanatos`Durran looks at Erevis, upon spotting the locket he smiles. "Erevis, care to join me?" He pats the couch with a smile.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your holovid is full of pointless images.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'm going to claim a room... *goes to claim the best room*
* Xanatos`Durran looks taken-back. "Pointless? You've never even given them a try."
* Setsuna` shakes her head, looking to the rooms herself.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will not be goaded into watching that box. 6She says firmly.
<Xanatos`Durran> ..Alright. *he seems a bit sad* Shall we at least go claim you a room? *he looks hopeful*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Will we fight for it?
<Xanatos`Durran> ....Only if you want too. *he cracks a smile*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I shall go attack the bionic one. 6She moves up the stairs.
* Setsuna` takes the second best room remaining after Cassandra claims hers, and then heads downstairs.
<Xanatos`Durran> W...wait! *he runs after Erevis* I thoought you ment fight me...I was going to suggest chocolate syrup and caramel...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into Cassandra's room. "We will do battle for this room."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...why...?
* Xanatos`Durran steps in after Erevis. "Seriously...come'on." He moves to pull her away.
* Setsuna` flops down on the couch, feet up over one arm, and starts idly channelsurfing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is dragged away. "The room will be ours to claim." 6She says into the room one last time before Durran drags her out
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...weirdoes.
* Xanatos`Durran turns Erevis to face him. "Uhh..there is three rooms left, i'm sure you could take one of those?' He rubs the back of his neck ackwardly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are less superior rooms. We should claim the superior one.
<Xanatos`Durran> We are only going to be sleeping there. I'm sure it doesn't matter...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> By staking out the best bedroom, the bionic one has laid claim to being the chief of this place. We should battle her leadership
<Xanatos`Durran> Darien did make her the XO...*he notes to Erevis calmly*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was in your old work place. He obviously intends on us making the leadership authority here while he is gone. We should attack
<Xanatos`Durran> ...How does he intend on that? *he perks a brow at Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Clearly we all do battle until we see who is the authority here.
<Xanatos`Durran> We have to keep low key here. I'm afraid the battles would attract unwanted attention. Let's just take one of the rooms..*he motions for the 3 empty ones*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks disapproving, then walks into the third best room
* Cassandra_Arakawa writes out her shopping list for her room.
* Xanatos`Durran steps over to her doorway of the fourth best room, glancing around.
* Xanatos`Durran lets out a low whistle. Then steps back out into the hall, he calls to Cass. "Hey Cass, did Darien mention anything about the rooms being bare?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes her bed and dresser, with a tilt of her head.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We decorate them as we see fit.
<Xanatos`Durran> With our own money!?
* Setsuna` sighs, "Someone's being cheap..." She continues flicking through channels, trying to find something good on.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We probably get an allowance. Cool it.
<DeathStar> 6* The door knocks downstairs.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'll get it. No one do anythign weird. *heads down the stairs*
* Setsuna` waits to see if anyone is going to get that, despite being the closest
<Xanatos`Durran> Coool...it? You're pushing it woman. *he moves down the steps behind her*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to look out, a distant look on her face.
* Xanatos`Durran stops before his head dissappears from the top floor. "You hungry?" He glances at Erevis.
* Cassandra_Arakawa takes a look through the peep hole or window or whatever will let her see whoever.
<DeathStar> 6* A pizza delivery guy is standing there, looking out at the road and away from the window.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> May I help you?
<DeathStar> 6* The man holds up a pizza. "A man called Darien ordered this for you." 6He keeps his gaze down
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well, look at me when I talk to you. There's such a thing as rude, you know.
<DeathStar> 6* The man nods, then suddenly kicks out, knocking the door off the hinges. John McCormick looks up. "Yeah, I hate to be rude to this group of liars."
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs the broken door and tosses it behind him onto the driveway.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Right...real low key. Thanks alot.
* Xanatos`Durran hears the commotion and pulls out his pistols as he looks at Erevis. "Stay there." He moves down the steps, pulling his pistol up at John.
* Setsuna` still lounges on the couch, watching the vid
<DeathStar> 6* John looks up at Xanatos. "You better move, you son of a bitch."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, hesitant, moving to look down the way at John
<Cassandra_Arakawa> To what do we owe this visit?
<Xanatos`Durran> John? *he blinks once* Oh dear god....John...don't do this.
<DeathStar> <John> I've come for my sister's body right now. 6He says darkly, his hand clenched.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Unfortunately, there is this little thing about it being occupied right now.
<DeathStar> <John> My sister was murdered and you all live with the thing that did it?! Like hell.
<Xanatos`Durran> She is still in there John. *he notes after a moment*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* John waves his hand. "I will kill. Everyone. Who gets in my way."
<DeathStar> 6* John takes a step for the stairs.
<Xanatos`Durran> John. I will shoot you if you don't stop.
<DeathStar> 6* John ignores him.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Your funeral. Someone fix the damn door.
* Xanatos`Durran fires at John. With little hesitation.
<DeathStar> 6* John jerks out of the way, then grabs his on gun and aims it at Durran
<DeathStar> <John> I'm not afraid to shoot.
<Xanatos`Durran> I never once believed you were. Now calm down and think about this. THINK for a change.
<DeathStar> <John> She's dead, Durran. I looked into it. I researched all the possibilities. AND YOU ARE LIVING WITH HER KILLER!
<DeathStar> 6* John reaches the bottom step, keeping the gun trained on him.
* Cassandra_Arakawa rolls her eyes and goes to get the door...carrying it back to the house.
* Xanatos`Durran isn't moving and his face shows that he knows she is dead. "If you want to punish someone, go to that hellhole of a planet. THEY did this to her. It wasn't her fault."
<DeathStar> 6* John rushes up the stairs with a roar.
* Xanatos`Durran lets out a sigh and shoots down at John, mostly as a disrtaction for the foot he was sending toward his face.
<DeathStar> 6* John avoids the shots, the foot, and slams the gun into XAn's face in a blur. He's out for blood, it seems.
* Cassandra_Arakawa props up the door at the doorway and then looks up.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> No gunplay inside the house!
* Setsuna` is off the couch without anyone having seen or heard her move. She strikes for John's back with a flat hand, trying to take him down quickly via pressurepoints.
* Xanatos`Durran curses as blood erupts from his nose, he stumbles back, rather up the steps and glares at John. "You are a moron." He notes with a spit of blood. He flips out a saber with his left hand and ignites it.
<DeathStar> 6* John's face is one of a man who has been betrayed and won't hear anything more. He fires right at Durran's arm.
* Cassandra_Arakawa tries to get the door reattached before the boys in blue show...like this is going to go unnoticed..sheesh.
* Xanatos`Durran moves to avoid the shot, firing his own gun. "GODDAMNIT JOHN! SNAP OUT OF IT!"
<DeathStar> 6* John is about to be hit when the shot deters into the wall,.
<DeathStar> 6* John immediately takes advantage of this twist of fate to fire at Xan's face, and that shot slams off course, too. Frustrated, he swings his fist for Xan's throat.
* Xanatos`Durran arches a quick brow and pulls his hand up to grab John fist. The force of the punch would stumble him back some. "Tsh.." He grits his teeth and would pull John's fist forward to knee him in the groin.
<DeathStar> 6* John brings up his own knee into Xanatos' knee. Suddenly, Setsuna hits him in the back and he falls forward.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: I missed dinner...need to get food. AFK
<Setsuna`> NRP: *is more stealthy than you*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, pressed against the wall, her expression not so blank, and far from calm. Conflicted, she tries to decide what to do.
<Setsuna`> "...don't trash the new house. We have to live here you know."
<DeathStar> 6* John struggles to stand, eyeing Erevis. "I will...kill you..."
* Xanatos`Durran grits his teeth. Stepping back, in front of Erevis. "Just leave. It's over."
<Setsuna`> "What good would killing her do anyways? Sure, she's a little creepy... but would it accomplish?"
<DeathStar> <John> She...killed my sister...and now parades as her... 6He begins to stand. Erevis says nothing.
<Setsuna`> *crosses her arms* "Okay, that's only half true and you know it."
* Xanatos`Durran wipes the blood from his face, and holds his arms out. "I wont let you touch her."
<DeathStar> <John> You can't beat me.
<Xanatos`Durran> I WONT let you touch her. *he speaks, very determined.*
<DeathStar> 6* John throws down his gun and lifts his hands up. "I'd like to see you try."
* Setsuna` sighs and uses John as something to prop her arm against and lean on.
<DeathStar> 6* Sirens can be heard. The cops are coming.
<Setsuna`> "...so much for being low key."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> John....I...
<DeathStar> <John> NO! You- you don't get to call me by my name. 6He says in a rage, tears on his face. "You don't get to look like her."
* Xanatos`Durran watches John. Suddenly he sighs, he knows exactly how he feels.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hangs her head away from John. John points at her, his lips trembling and he opens and closes his mouth. <John> You took my sister away from me. And I won't ever forgive you for that. Or you for lying about it. 6He says to Durran, serious about his intents. He turns and runs down the stairs and past Cass. He runs off.
* Setsuna` stands up, "I can understand your pain... but the police have been notified after all this. You'll need to get your ass out of here if you don't want to deal with them."
* Xanatos`Durran slouches his shoulders. "Damnit..." he mumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hugs herself suddenly and turns, stepping into her room, the door slamming shut automatically behind her.
* Xanatos`Durran moves to the door. "Erevis.."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Back
<DeathStar> 6* No response. The cops arrive, asking CAssandra questions about their attacker.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and moves to turn the knob. "I'm coming in."
* Setsuna` trys to clean up the mess from the gunfire... oi. Not even on their first job, and already cleaning up after others.
* Cassandra_Arakawa feeds them some lines about a domestic dispute and all that...broken restraining order...blah blah.
<DeathStar> 6* The cops, for whatever reason, accept the bs from CAssandra and leaves.
* Cassandra_Arakawa locks the now restored door.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What a joy.
<Setsuna`> "Did he atleast bring a real pizza?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I didn't check.
* Xanatos`Durran peeks his head in. "Erevis...you ok?"
* Setsuna` goes to check to see if the pizza is atleast good. Damn well deserve to atleast get something good out of this
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis refuses to turn around and look, keeping her arms crossed as she looks at the wall
<DeathStar> 6* It was a fake pizza.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Cheap bastard...
* Xanatos`Durran slides in and closes the door behind him. "It'll be alright. We all had to adjust..." he moves close to comfort her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waves her hand, pushing Durran away. She won't look at him. "Leave me be."
* Xanatos`Durran slides across the floor. "Please Erevis. Don't push me away..."
<Setsuna`> "...alright. He breaks in, trys to kill people, and doesn't bring a real pizza? He deserves a bit of an asskicking."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis whirls on him, her eyes puffy for some reason. "I do not need your aid."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> No kidding.
<Xanatos`Durran> ....Of course not...but it helps. *he seems to be as calm as possible, used to dealing with Erevis it seems*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waves her hand again and knocks Durran out of her room, the door slamming shut. She waves her hand and wrenches the window up, leaping out of it and running off
<Xanatos`Durran> ....oh piss....*he stands and runs down the steps, heading out of the door*

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.1.10
<DeathStar> Location: Dragoon Earth Colony
<DeathStar> 6* A small settlement, with only a few small sized buildings set up, a garden being worked on by those inclined to farm, and other jobs being handed out to those who are capable, this is a small nit village than a colony. Cheryl, with her arms crossed, barks out orders to anyone who dares get near her.
* Dias stands infront of the water fountain, his head tilted down at the water as he stares into it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits on the fountage edge, balancing a book on her forehead. "So what's 4 times 6?" 6she asks carefully, holding out her hands and balancing herself
<Dias> Four times Six....*his hand reaches out towards the water then taps it, his reflection breaking up, his hand pulling back quickly to his face as he checks it*
* Ariel wanders a little as she reads over a datapad, mumbling something about site plans. She sighs. She's really not much for laying out cities, but she's got roped into it anyways.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeeeees? 6She encourages, leaning her head back to look at Dias. This was a mistake, as she loses her balances and falls into the fountain
* Dias closes his eyes as he thinks, trying to remember the lesson from before. 1"Twenty....Four?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances over at the two causing yet another ruckus and sighs, rolling her eyes and walking toward the fountain
* Ariel looks over at the splash and sighs, shaking her head. She smiles a little though as she heads over.
* Dias started by her falling, he moves over to the fountain to get in but then freezes as he gets up on the ledge.
<Dias> NRP: startled.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr emerges, her hair soaked and in her face. She glances up at Dias.
* Dias looks down at her a worried look on his face. 1"Ok?"
* Ariel offers Zephyr a hand up.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes ther hand, then giggles. "Yep." 6She cups her hand behind her after she's out, grinning at Cheryl who has arrived scowling. "Hi, Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's the city's drinking water you two. 6She says in disbelief
* Dias jumps back as Ariel moves beside him to help Zephyr, he then see's Cheryl and tenses up even more, his eyes dropping quickly down to the fountain's base.
* Ariel nods, "You need to be more careful around our supplies, Zephyr. Things are still being set up." She's ammused more than anything.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We were just making sure it was healthy. It was A-okay. 6She says with a mock salute to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Ariel. "She's like this because you spoil her."
* Dias glances up quickly at Cheryl and Ariel then back down to the ground.
<Ariel> "It may seem anti-intuitive, but we are needing of some leanance. Run things too tight, and things will become stressed."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She looks at Dias. "Do you ever look up, boy?"
* Dias steps back, his hand grabbing onto the fountain. 1"...Y...es."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She squints. "Does he always stutter?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ooonly around you! 6She says in a sing-song voice.
<Ariel> "I believe you intimidate the boy, Cheryl."
* Dias turns looking back down at the water, staring at his own reflection again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Me? Intimidate? It's good to know someone around here is intimidated by me.
* Dias reaches down to the water and grabs it, causing it to flutter away, a strange smile begins to appear on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches Dias with a tilt on her head. "You having fun, Dias?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks over toward Ariel. "I don't think things will ever get normal around here. Even with the inplus of volunteer helpers we've been getting. Most of them are slackers."
<Dias> Yes...*he grabs into the water then lifts his hand, watching the water fall through his hands and back into the fountain*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I like water, too. 6She gives him a smile.
* Ariel nods, "Normal is entirely relative." She looks down at her datapad, making some notes, "...we're going to need a pool."
<Seraphna> *Angelina steps out of one of the huts, carrying a load of supplies in her hands. "Cheryl! Where do you want these?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints at the crates. "Yeah. Building 4. We need to unload them there."
* Dias 's head turns towards Angelina, eyeing her from the distance.
<Seraphna> *Angelina hauls the gear off, an older woman, looking jsut out of her 20s, early 30s, with thick aubrun hair and an athletic figure, she walks with a soldier's stride.
<Dias> NRP: wow...apparently 30's is old.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Dias turns back looking at Zephyr. 1"Water?" 6He points back at the fountain again.
<Seraphna> NRP: we have a player here that old? otherwise, yes, it is to me <.<
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. Water. 6She nods with infinite patience. Cheryl rolls her eyes.
<Dias> Why? 6He motions to his reflection.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's called a reflection. Water reflects the image of objects. 6She holds out her hand, showing the reflection of it on the water.
* Ariel has joined #pax-season6session1TeamDragoon
* Dias cranes his neck as he watches. 1Oh.
* Dias sticks his hand into the water again and amkes a fist, pulling it out, he opens his hand a look of disapointment appearing on his face as he realizes he grabbed nothing.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But reflections are not real.
<Dias> Oh....*he turns to Zephyr, his left hand scratching his arm*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She looks at Dias, then pats him on the head. "But there's plenty of people who are real."
* Dias smiles, his mouth opening as if searching for a word. 1"Good?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Good! 6She smiles at him again
* Ariel has joined #pax-season6session1TeamDragoon
* Dias smiles again, moving over to sit down on the fountain edge.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Ariel, who has been dealing with paperwork. "You look busy."
* Ariel nods, "It's a lot of work. Even with some engineers lent from Earth to help with designs, they still need me to give approval on... about everything."
* Dias looks at Ariel. 1"Why?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So you're like the Queen of the planet.
* Dias looks over at Zephyr, his head tilting at her words.
<Ariel> "I could not claim royalty. But... effectively the president of the world, yes."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But I like Queen Ariel more than President Ariel. 6She notes.
<Dias> Queen?
* Dias looks at Ariel again.
* Ariel just smirks a little and shakes her head. "Alright, but don't go spreading that around."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Kay.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr spins around, eyeing a butterfly. "Heeey." 6She chases it. Cheryl shakes her head. <Cheryl> Well, my Queen, now what?
* Ariel eyes Cheryl, "Don't you start now."
* Dias glances at Ariel. 1"Queen."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks amused. "It seems it's a popular name."
* Dias glances at Cheryl, not getting any noticeable disapproval so he smiles assuming he said it properly.
* Ariel sighs a little and shakes her head. But she has a small smile on her lips.
* Dias pushes off the ledge and begins looking around.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anyway, come on. 6She takes Ariel by the arm and leads her toward building 4. "We need you to sign off on some supplies so the Earth people are happy."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slides up behind Dias. "Boo."
* Dias watches the two walk away when Zephyr sneaks up behind him. He leaps off the ground and spins around his body shaking, obviously terrified.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then hurries over and grabs him in a hug. "I'm sorry."
<Ariel> "...deemed royalty for five minutes, and I'm already being pushed around by the second."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The real power is always the woman behind the woman.
* Dias stands there as his body begins calming down.
<Dias> Why? *he looks at her*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was just playing a joke. I'm sorry. 6She keeps hugging him. "I won't do it again."
<Dias> ...Joke? *he eyes her, a look of confusion on his face*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A joke...is something you do to surprise someone else. It's meant to be funny
<Ariel> "I honestly might perform better as a figurehead. I do wonder if we should send some of our people out to academies, to learn individual trades."
<Dias> ....Oh...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans in. "Are you hungry? I think there's some jello."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dragoons going to the academies? Now that's progressive thinking.
* Dias looks down at his stomach, eyeing it then up at Zephyr. 1"Yes...hungry.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr helps him up, then leads him toward the kitchen area.
* Dias follows behind like a pet.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the door to where Angelina was putting the supplies.
<Ariel> "We're so few that we would not be able to send out many at a time, but... it is obvious that we could use a more varied skill base."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We could. 6She agrees. "Though I can only think of a few who would be good for the learning scene."
* Dias picks ups his pace to keep up with Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops inside, smiling at the human cooking food. "We need jello." 6The man nods, giving each of them jello
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hands Ariel the paperwork she needs to sign on as she looks around at the supplies for a generator
* Red_Fox has joined #pax-season6session1TeamDragoon
* Ariel reads over the paperwork, not even skipping the parts she doesn't need to read, then signs when everything is in order.
* Dias looks over at the jello placed before him. He eyes it then grabs the plate hesitantly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eats the jello.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru has joined #pax-season6session1TeamDragoon
* Red_Fox has left #pax-season6session1TeamDragoon
* Dias moves his face extremely close to the jello, then sniffs it. His hand reaches out and pokes it and he watches it jiggle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I remember a time I just shot at people. 6She says a bit sadlyh.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: Where is everyone, BTW?
<DeathStar> NRP: Dias/Zephyr in the kitchen, Ariel/Cheryl in a random building
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru wanders into the kitchen, assessing the scene
<Ariel> "Life was indeed simple before."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We could shoot at some of the humans. Bring back some of the old feelings.
* Dias eyes Zephyr eating it, he then reaches his hand into the jello and tightens his fingers on a corner of it, it squeezing out. he looks down at his fingers then at Zephyr.
<Ariel> "I do not believe that would help our situation."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Is the jello that good?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I suppose it would cause diplomatic problems.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yep. 6She says brightly
* Dias turns his head to Hotaru a frightened look on his face.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Then may I try some also?"
<DeathStar> 6* The human chef hands her some jello, wondering what is with Dragoons.
<Ariel> "Just a few."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru jiggles the jello for a moment, then pops it into her mouth
* Dias eyes Hotaru, he then licks his finger, tasing the jello. A strange look appearing on his face is it melts in his mouth.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Do you like it?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "It is very good."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru smiles
* Dias eyes the jello again then reaches out grabbing another chunk of it, albeit more carefully this time. He then pops it into his mouth. The same strange expression appearing on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the kitchen through the window. "Jesus. Ariel, do we have anyone here who works?"
<Ariel> "I believe our... unemployment rate, is on par with Earth's, at last check."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Let me go get their necks. 6She marches toward the kitchen
* Dias picks up a chunk with his whole hand and shovels it into his face.
* Ariel heads after Cheryl... mostly to make sure she doesn't BREAK necks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks into the kitchen. "What are you slackers doing?" 6she shouts.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I was trying Jello."
* Dias leaps out of his chair, stumbling back at Cheryl's shouting. He then pauses and then forces a laugh out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him laughing at her. "Is he... laughing at me?"
<Dias> Joke funny...
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just hides under the table.
<Ariel> "Joke?" *looks at Zephyr*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr mumbles something under the table.
* Dias stares at Cheryl, a confused and nervous look on his face now.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru tilts her head to one side, also confused
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be working through the various signs of disbelief at someone laughing at her.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "This is a strange situation."
* Ariel nods, "Well... is someone going to atleast inform us of the joke?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Please do. Before I get annoyed.
<Dias> Boo joke.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru blinks at Dias
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the hell is a boo joke?
* Dias paues then screams out. 1"BOO!"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru just stares at Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr covers her face under the table
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's jaw just drops open in disbelief.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... have you been under an undue amount of stress lately?"
<Dias> Funny? 6He looks at the three curiously as if waiting for their approval*
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru places a hand on Dias' forehead, as if checking for a fever
* Dias slides back from Hotaru, obviously scarred by this action.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... .... That's it. This boy is coming with me. He's timid nature is annoying me. 6He grabs Dias and drags him along. "We're going to teach you how to act like a goddamn man."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pokes her head up as Dias is dragged out
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "That... was... interesting..."
<Ariel> "...I'll have to monitor that situation as it progresses."
* Dias becomes submissive as he's dragged out, following behind her like a dog.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Perhaps I should come too.."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She won't hurt him, will she?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I hope not."
<Ariel> "That... well..." She hesitates, "I trust her to use some restraint."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru nods cautiously to Ariel
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... poor Dias.

* #pax-season6session1TeamErusians is being logged
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.1.10
<DeathStar> Location: Erusia
<`Cole> NRP: *glances around*
<DeathStar> 6* The first day of a new beginning. Currently, Rylon has arrived and accepted duty in the military, though he won't be on offical duty until later that day, giving him time to get a certain bard into his new living arrangement
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Arhn Arhnya, who has not seen either Cole nor Rylon since returning to the planet, has another meeting with Lombardia to discuss future plans. Currently, her and Warren Carmichael are inside her own place of residence, having little time before the meeting
<`Cole> NRP: Help me start Ryyyylon. :D
<DeathStar> NRP: He's frozen with fear at the prospect of his story beginning
<Arhn> Things are still such a mess here....I haven't been in full time residence since I left for PAX.
<Rylon> 2He came flying, with a custom built attack and transport craft. It seems like..having been quite busy over the last month, the paintjob was reckoning of this, which was dark silver with crimson strips. The landing gear came out, as he landed on the pad with relative ease.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, wearing his typical black attire, crosses his arms as he glances around the room, serving as an unoffical bodyguard since their return to the planet. "Everything look stable here, at least. I didn't see any signs of listening devices last night."
<Arhn> That is not our way of doing things.
<Rylon> 2The ramp hissed open, and landed on the floor. Rylon walked out from the fighter, glancing out toward the edge into the main city. 14"Such a nostalgic feeling..didn't think I'd ever see this place again"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ways change, Arhn. Especially if a civil war breaks out on this planet. 6He notes, glancing at Arhn. "The rules will change very quick."
* `Cole steps down the ramp, looking around. He is holding a guitar case in his right hand, wearing his typical clothing, he moves his eyes to Rylon. "....Nice planet." He gives a half-grin.
<Arhn> We don't een have an intelligence service...we will be blind and deaf.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren considers that, glancing around, as if he's suddenly very, very alone. "I'll just have to think on my feet."
<Rylon> 2His attire and the like changed once more, he liked to keep things new and fresh. 14"Yeah, everythings so formal around her..if something changes..the council loves to make a deal out of it"
* `Cole rubs the back of my neck. "I am here on vacation right? You don't have anything planned for me do you?"
<Rylon> 14"What you do here is on your own terms, yes you are on vacation..and I won't get you involved in my affairs, unless you truely want to be involved on them"
<Arhn> We've been isolated so long, that we never had to protect ourselves from foreign ears and eyes in the manner that you consider.
* `Cole allows his face to pull up into a sly grin. "Now why would I go and do a thing like that." He pops his neck and looks around. "You know I'll help when needed." He gives a nod to Ry and steps forward one step. "So where am I going to sleep?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> You've opening a big door to a big galaxy these last few years, Arhn.
<Arhn> Of that, I am aware. However, you are currently the only non-Erusians in the entire Ascendancy.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mm. Another problem to deal with one day. 6He notes dryly, moving over to a window to glance outside
<Rylon> 14"Oh right, almost forgot.." 2Rylon starts to move forward into the building, which was nicely decorated by silver walls going down the hallways and into the rooms, flowers along with other foreign foilage seem to line the whole hallways on either side, only parting to reveal the rooms. He stops in front of the first one on the right, 101. 14"This is yours, located near the entrance port so 2
<Rylon> 2 it could make traveling around Erusia more convenient. 2
<Arhn> What is on your mind?
<`Cole> Nice. *he nods his head* Is there a certain frequence here so that I can keep in contact with you on my comm?
<Rylon> 14"Yeah, switch to frequency 4056 when you need to contact me"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I fear what my presence here will do for you in the future. If this rebel movement does gain any credence, they might pick you simply because of the recent problems with Earth and I'm not exactly a subtle reminder.
<Arhn> There are more important things to worry about. Things are stirring in the galaxy.
* `Cole nods his head and does so. "Let's sit these down. And i'll keep you company until you have to go on duty." He chuckles and tosses his stuff down, turning to look at Ry. "So what're we doing first?" He seems to have lightened up over his time off, partly due to all the time he spent home.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The Origin matter. 6He repeats. "Or at least, whatever Earth is looking for out there."
<Rylon> 14"Well..we should probably see Arhn and Warren, since I was kinda late in my arrival time..had to detour to the Cartel and all."
<Arhn> And other things...
<DeathStar> <Warren> We should get ready to meet with Lombardia. 6He says finally. "I imagine you two have much to discuss about your future."
* `Cole chuckles. "My apologies, they were pretty upset at my resignation. Wouldn't even give me a lift out her." He shrugs, and motions for Ry to lead the way.
<Arhn> Indeed, I do.
<Rylon> 14"Yeah, pinch me if I fall asleep during the conversation.." 2He says with a little sarcasm, and heads deeper into the building. At the end of the hallway was the elevator, which hissed open at their arrival. It looked seethrough, and one could see the whole city from this point. Rylon stepped inside when it did, glancing at the markings in Erusian.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, moving over to open her door for her, glancing outside, then waits for her.
<`Cole> You're going to have to teach me the language...*he notes, eyeing the markings.*
* Arhn steps out through the door.
<Rylon> 14"Yeah" 2He pushes on a button, and it hissens shut..starting to rapidly ascend upwards. Regardless of the speed, the occupants inside would feel perfectly fine..as if they wern't moving at all.
<`Cole> Big change from Mjolinar. *he chuckles*
<Rylon> 14"What do you mean?
* `Cole waves a hand to indicate the completel planet. "I don't see much and around her." He notes with a hint of sarcasm.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren makes a signal and a vehicle moves over to pick up Arhn.
<Rylon> NRP: The what?
<`Cole> NRP: Sand....
<Rylon> NRP: Oh
<`Cole> NRP: around here* Sheesh. :S
* Arhn climbs into the vehicle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slides into the vehicle. It drives off.
<Rylon> 14"No, on the Erusian home planet..it is mostly occupied by cities, along with greenary. The other planets owned by the Erusians very, there is only one really desert occupied planet..mainly people don't live there though..more or less they just harvest resources in outposts."
* `Cole smiles. "It is about the same with the Cartel, except we actually live on our desert." He gives a hearty laugh.
<Rylon> 14"You'd have competetion if you decided to live on that planet. That's the planet where the Sicus Bugs original from"
<Rylon> *originate*
<`Cole> Aww I could take em. *he laughs and gives Ry and pat on the back that would probably knock him forward a bit*
<Rylon> 2He was quite well footed, and only hinched forward midly. He straightened up and glanced at him, grinning. 14"I doubt it, the Exterior is built of a high resistance shell..immune to plasma weaponary, laser weaponary, and also has a high resistance to solid forces. There has been reports some have managed to get up to 50 feet tall.
* `Cole whistles at that. "Could you imagine how many people that could feed? Mjolinar would be set." He chuckles.
<Rylon> 14"I don't think bugs are very..edible"
<`Cole> You've never tasted a snapper beetle then. *he glances at Ry out of the corner of his eye. He seems serious*
<DeathStar> 6* The Arhn begins to draw closer to the Lombardia residence.
<Rylon> 14"Nope, fraid I havn't"
<Arhn> We are almost there...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nervous?
* `Cole smiles. "I doubt you would like it. Very exotic taste." He glances around. "So where is Arhn and Warren?"
<Arhn> No, I have met with him before.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you don't mind me asking, what sort of government position will you seek now? Or will you continue to try to work on your project with the Cartel?
* Rylon glances down at his pad, as they reach the floor. 14"Reports say they left already, to the meeting with Lombardia"
<`Cole> So that means we will have to wait? *he turns to redirect his full glance at Ry.*
<Arhn> That depends on what we discuss.
<Rylon> 14"...Nope, I'll leave a post-it on her door."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, then grows quiet as the car pulls up. He steps out, opening Arhn's door for her.
* Arhn steps out of the vehicle.
<`Cole> Post-it? All this technology and you still use those?
* Alicia has joined #pax-season6session1TeamErusians
* Alicia is now known as Red_Fox
<DeathStar> 6* Warren closes the door to the vehicle after her and stands there as Lombardia's aide opens the door, greeting Arhn.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Am I out of this session?
<Rylon> 14"Haha, some things are just too damn good to let go" 2Walks into the hallway, and steps in front of Arhn's room.
<DeathStar> NRP: That would be Ry's call, since he's with Cole and ARhn/Warren never met with his group
* `Cole crosss his arms and glances at Ry. "So what happened to Fox. Shouldn't she be here by now?"
<Rylon> NRP: You must feed me grapes to rp
<Red_Fox> NRP: *feeds Rylon grapes*
<`Cole> NRP: I thought my grapes would be enough for you!
<Arhn> Greetings. Is Lombardia ready for me? *steps inside*
<Rylon> 14"She in the back of my ship, decided to have a nap..I didn't feel like waking her up.." 2Writes something in Erusian, and slaps it on her door.
* `Cole blinks. "And when she wakes?"
<DeathStar> <Aide> Yes. Please follow me. 6He leads Arhn to Lombardio's study, opening the door for her.
* Red_Fox yawns, waking up
* Arhn steps within.
<Rylon> 14"Then she should find the post it I placed on her forehead"
<Red_Fox> NRP: Not on the door?
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia stands up, looking over at Arhn. "Greetings," 6he says in crisp Erusian. "Get us something to drink." 6He tells the aide, then moves over to sit with Arhn
<DeathStar> 6* The aide complies. Warren stands out in the hallway.
* `Cole smirks. "You enjoy those things way too much."
<Rylon> NRP: Lombardia: Let's cut the crap, and go right to the sex
<Arhn> Greetings, Lombardia. It is good to finally see you in person once again.
* Red_Fox pulls the note off her forehead, looking at it
<Rylon> 14"I bought a few before leaving Earth, might as well use them"
<Rylon> 2It says "Showing Cole where he will be staying and informing Arhn, be back soon"
* Red_Fox blinks, then sighs. "Damn jetlag."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> It has been far too long, Arhnya. It is good to see you back here on Erusia. 6He says earnestly.
* Rylon moves back into the Elevator, pressing the button for the Guest Rooms/Port once Cole steps inside. A few minutes later, it hisses open to reveal the same hallway.
* Red_Fox gets ready, but quickly
* `Cole rubs his neck. "Always going up and down.."
<Arhn> It is good to be back within the Ascendancy.
<Rylon> 14"Beats walking" 2Steps back into the port, heading over to the ramp of his ship.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Tell me. Now that the entire PAX matter is behind you, what do you believe the humans will do now with their new leader?
<Rylon> NRP: Mass genocide of the clowns
<Arhn> It is difficult to say. Their new leader was supposedly opposed to the PAX deception to begin with, though duty prevented him from speaking up...supposedly.
<`Cole> Point noted.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> What is your judgement on his character? From what we've heard, he actively sought an alliance with the Tsivrixsh
<Arhn> I can not make a judgment...he keeps his agenda hidden well.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia nods, considering this. "And how did your plans with Ambassador Seventies turn out?"
<DeathStar> 6* As they walk down a hallway, a Erusian like Ry passes by, studying him intently.
<Arhn> As far as the technology program, they are almost ready to deliver a prototype now. The more...ambitious plan will take time.
* `Cole glances at Ry. "I think he found you attractive."
* Rylon eyes the Erusian, then continues walking. 14"I doubt that was the reason.."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> And that brings us to what will you do now, Arhnya. 6He states. "It'll take a while before the Cartel can provide results and you've been gone from this place far too long."
<`Cole> As do I. *he smirks, as they move into the port*
* Rylon moves onto the ramp, glancing at Fox. 14"Finally wake up eh?"
<Arhn> Indeed, I have.
<Red_Fox> "Yeah.. sorry about that."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Your old position isn't open yet, but there must be something you can do around here until the seat opens. I promise it will be a quick process.
<Red_Fox> "So, what now?"
<Arhn> But what?
<Rylon> 14"No worries"
* `Cole glances at Ry. "Look at her. All excited, she can't even wait for you to finish speaking." He chuckles and winks at Fox.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> ... 6He rubs his hands together. "We do have a bit of a problem."
<Rylon> 14"What can I say? I'm sexy"
* Red_Fox laughs a bit, but not dismissively
<Arhn> A problem?
* `Cole laughs a booming laugh. "You my friend have not lost your humor."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> This is being kept quiet right now, even among the military, but ... Black Angel was spotted a week ago. Supposedly it destroyed some empty star system. So far we've kept it quiet.
* Rylon rubs his ears, Erusians had above-average hearing. 14"So, what do you guys wanna do?"
<Arhn> ...a...Black....Angel...was seen?
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Yes. 6He says seriously. "With the rebel factions causing trouble and everything else, I really can't afford to look into it right now. None of us can. However, you might be able to learn something during your down time. This is frankly something that cannot be allowed to hit a populated system
<Red_Fox> "Well, I still need to get used to the place, but pretty much anything's good."
* `Cole glances at Fox. "I agree with her. You know this place. Suprise us."
<Rylon> 14"Hmm..well let's see"
<Arhn> Indeed...we still do not have an account of the number of automated weapons that are still on the loose...and a Black Angel is the most destructive of them all...
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> We are going to assign Rylon K'oksay to you for the time being. Since you are our most influencial member with the other races, we believe you will be the most successful to look into the matter. It will also give you a chance to see the various homeworlds since you've been gone.
<Arhn> Good then. What resources will I have available then?
<Rylon> NRP: *Lombardia hands Arhn a penny*
* `Cole arches a brow at Ry.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> You will have any resource you find you need. All you have to do is contact me for anything and we'll have it to you immediately. You will also be given a pass to go to any place you need to go in this search. 6He says, filling out something.
* Red_Fox waits
* Rylon takes the controls, and the ramp closes. The ship takes hovers into the air, retracting it's landing gear before taking off forward with incredible seat. Those not buckled it would likely get thrown back.
<Arhn> ...does that include our remaining Progenitor space platform?
* Red_Fox buckles in QUICKLY
<Red_Fox> NRP: Incredible seat! It even has a drink-holder!
<Arhn> NRP: and an AM radio!
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia pauses, glancing up at her. Cupping his hands together. "I will need time before I can give you access there."
* `Cole places a hand on seat to stabalize himself and then moves up to the co-pilots seat. "So, you've decided, no doubt?"
<Arhn> I suppose the Order will have us perform any purification rituals before we cna even set foot there.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> It's not something we can do lightly. I hope you will not need to go there in your search.
<Rylon> 2He just grins, as they leave the city with incredible speed. It lowers off to the water slowly, water exploding behind it in massive ripples. Only inches from the water the Ship turns upside down. 14"You're gonna love this" 2He pushes down on the controls, causing them to soar upwards..straight upwards toward the sky. Suddenly the engines turn off, and they rapidly fall nose first for the 2
<Rylon> 2 water. 2
<Arhn> It is likely that if we can find no other clue...
<DeathStar> 6* Ry gets paged with his mission orders. They are simple: Report to Arhn Arhnya
* `Cole tightns his grip. "I don't believe I agree with you." He breaths through clenched teeth.
* Rylon suddenly pulls upwards, the engines activating, causing them to narrowly miss a collision with the water. The ship hovers for moments, and he looks down at his communication device. 14"..looks like I won't be able to take you there today"
<`Cole> Take..us...? *he sighs*
* Red_Fox takes a deep breath, then sighs
<Rylon> 14"Yeah, looks like the big boys want me to get to Arhn.."
<`Cole> Darn. *he snaps his fingers, and has a fake look of dissappointment.*
<Red_Fox> "I guess getting used to the place can wait."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I agree. I will make the process swift and painless as possible.
<Arhn> Good then.
<Rylon> 14"Yeah.." 2He sighs, dissappointed. Rylon takes off toward the city once more, heading to the Lombardia residence.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I will let you return to your place of residence. You will need time to prepare, no doubt. 6He stands up, handing her a card. "This will give you access to the places you need to go and will have enough funds to last you."
<Arhn> Thank you, Lombardia. *rises and takes the card*
* `Cole glances at Ry. "Do we get to help?" He kinda seems a bet hopeful at the promise of being able to doo someething.
<Rylon> 2He continues along his way, drumming his fingers. Upon seeing the residance, he pulls the ship into hover mode. 14"Nice place..I want one just like it.."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> May you find success. 6He says, holding up his hands in greeting. His aide arrives to lead Arhn out
<`Cole> You're not rich enough. *he notes*
<Red_Fox> "Maybe someday."
<Arhn> We will succeed. *then leaves with the aide*
<Rylon> 14"Well, you would be amazed right now..had not that jack ass interupted my space dive"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pushes off the wall when Arhn arrives, walking outside the door with her. "How'd it go?"
<Arhn> I will discuss it once everyone is assembled.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You have a team? 6He notes in surprise.
<Red_Fox> "It happens." *sounds a little disappointed anyway*
<Arhn> In theory. We'll see. Back to my residence.
<`Cole> ...*he glances at Ry oddly*
* Rylon lowers it down slowly, to land not far from the door of the residence.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets Arhn in the car and the car takes off.
<`Cole> NRP: Did they just drive away from us?
* Rylon sighs, and just follows the dang car.
<DeathStar> NRP: Yes
<Red_Fox> "..." *just shakes her head, watching the two*
<Rylon> 14"Not even a Hi"
* `Cole smirks. "It would be too convient."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans back in his seat as they drive back to Arhnya's.
* Rylon reaches into a compartment, pulling out a bottle of green contents. He pops it open, taking a drink. 14"I hate this"
<DeathStar> <Warren> We are being followed.
<Arhn> They aren't being subtle.
* Red_Fox looks to Rylon's drink. "I'll have to try some of that, sometime.. unless it's Erusian only."
<`Cole> You'd think they would be smart enough to stop...
* Rylon hands it back to her. 14"Careful..it's strong"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans forward, giving the driver instructions. The driver pulls off quickly.
<Rylon> 14"Aw hey..what the hell are they doing?"
* `Cole laughs. "You should let them know we aren't some terrorist organization."
<Rylon> 14"..she shoulda know I was coming..I was told to report to her!"
<Red_Fox> "Do they know it's you?"
<Rylon> 14"Well..I got a new ship..so maybe not.."
* Rylon moves to follow the driver, whistling. He brings out his communication device. 14"..Uhh..what frequency is Arhn on?"
<`Cole> ....
<Arhn> NRP: <Arhn> Maybe that's Ry. *the car stops...the shuttle fires a missile at the car...Ry and company arrives in the second shuttle* <Rylon> Well...damn...
<`Cole> Do you have her information on Datapad?
<Rylon> 14"I just got here, I havn't even been briefed yet"
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren leans back to look out the window.
<Rylon> 14"Cole, poke your head out a window and wave to them"
<Arhn> NRP: I missed dinner...need to get food. AFK
<Red_Fox> NRP: *Cole pokes his head out. *Warren shoots him
<`Cole> ...Wave...at Warren? *he looks at Ry like he is retarded*
* Rylon speeds forward, lowering himself down slightly so that he is on front of the car. The ramp slowly opens up, lowering down in mid air.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his gun, intrepreting this as an attack. He smashes out the window and fires up the ramp.
* `Cole hears gunshots and just chuckles. "That's what I though would happen."
<Rylon> 14"Hurry up..tell em who it is!" 2He swerves to the left, to avoid the shots.
<DeathStar> 6* The car speeds up
<Rylon> 14"....anyday now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps hitting vital parts of the shuttle, aiming to bring it down.
* Red_Fox sighs, and just yells down the ramp. "DO YOU ALWAYS FIRE ON TEAMMATES?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stops firing to squint at Fox. " ... yes." 6He says dully.
* Rylon swerves the best he can, avoiding the mainstray of the shots. However a few hit the armor on the shuttle, leaving burn marks. 14"...Aw hell, it's gonna take me forever to rub those out!"
<Red_Fox> "Anyway, he knows it's us now.."
<DeathStar> 6* The car pulls up at Arhn's palace of a house.
* Rylon sighs at the house. 14"I hate rich people"
<`Cole> Psh. I live in a cave. *he notes sourly*
* Rylon turns to land beside the car, pulling out the landing gear..and the ramp already down.
<Red_Fox> "I've been living in a shuttle."
<Rylon> 14"Fun isn't it? Did it for 6 months with John"
<Red_Fox> "Better than some alternatives, but.. I wouldn't want to make a living out of it."
* `Cole stands and moves over to step down the ramp. He seems to be pleasant enough.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets out of the car after it stops, eyeing the shuttle as it lands.
* Red_Fox pauses, then follows Cole
* Rylon sighs and steps out after him, looking a bit sullen after the attack. 14"I just got it painted.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll try to feel some sympathy for you later. 6He notes calmly.
<Arhn> NRP: Back
* `Cole nods his head to Warren.
* Rylon turns to look at Warren. 14"Yeah yeah, they didn't say report to Arhn and get shot"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your complaining gets old. 6He notes.
* Arhn steps out of the vehicle.
<Rylon> 14"..I just said one thing about it, and it's already old?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
* Rylon rubs his face. 14"Nice to see you too Warren"
<Red_Fox> "Yeah.. it would've been nicer if you hadn't been shooting at us, though."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Please find new, productive ways to complain now.
<`Cole> I would have shot at us too....almost landing on the car. *he laughs*
<Arhn> We must speak. *heads inside*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to follow Arhn.
* `Cole moves in after them.
<Rylon> 2Something inside him now regrets taking this position, as he moves to follow them.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.1.10
<DeathStar> Location: Janus Apartment Complex
<DeathStar> 6* The first day of active duty for the three of them since the entire year end fiasco that brought PAX to a close, they are now waking up early and bright to meet with the new commanding officer of Janus, William Spade. Their apartments - ironically enough, are right next to each other
* Chad`Winters sits infront of his terminal, reading up on the morning news as he waits.
* Seraphna awakes in Kane's apartment, in his bed. She smiles as she gets ready, having brought her outfit for the day with her.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *Kane on the other hand, wakes up on Chad's couch*
* `Kane bliinks his eyes open at Sera moving about, he slowly rises and moves over to get dressed.
<`Kane> I hate mornings....*he breaths as he pulls his shirt over his head*
<Seraphna> "Aww, but you're so cute in the mornings..." *she smiles, heading into the shower*
* Chad`Winters reaches over and picks up the rest of his toast and finishes eating it.
* `Kane breaths a "Yeah right." but smiles at her, moving over to the console and typing in a command. It begins to boot up as he moves over and starts the coffee pot.
* Chad`Winters reaches over and picks up a bottle of water and hits two keys with one stroke and his computer turns off. He moves over to his door and opens it, stepping outside, his hand reaches behind him and pulls the door shut.
* `Kane whistles lightly as he pours two cups of coffee, he sets one down on the table beside the door that leads to the shower. And then begins to sip his own. He begins to read some of the news idly, waiting for Serena.
* Seraphna steps out of the shower, drying off, she then gets dressed quickly, checking herself, "Sleep well hun?"
* Chad`Winters moves down the hallway, heading down and outside.
<`Kane> Sure. If you count waking up ever hour well. *he winks at her*
<DeathStar> 6* The bus that drives to the Janus base is still a few minutes away from arriving
* Seraphna giggles and walks over to him, kissing him gently, before pulling back her hair, which she's let get quite long, back in a tail, "Let's go hun."
* `Kane nods and stands, he pulls up his glasses and pockets his datapad, then he moves over to the door and opens it for her.
* Chad`Winters steps outside and moves down the stairway and over to a ledge where he leans agains it, obviously waiting.
* Seraphna steps out and smiles more, yawning a little as she looks around
* `Kane steps out and closes the door behind him, locking it. "Ahh, I hope Winters is in a good mood.
<`Kane> NRP: Meh.
* `Kane steps out and closes the door behind him, locking it. "Ahh, I hope Winters is in a good mood." He chuckles and begins down the hallway, moving toward the place where they wait for the bus.
* Seraphna heads after him
<DeathStar> 6* The bus arrives
* `Kane steps up to Chad. "Morning." He says as they arrive, just in time it seems.
* Seraphna gives her brother a hug, having been almost relentless in her attempts to get him to start thawing his cold shoulder, and hops up into the bus.
* Chad`Winters eyes Sera as she hugs him then let's go. He moves onto the bus and moves over to a seat, sitting down. He pulls out his datapad and begins reading something on it
* `Kane is the last of the three to get on the bus, taking a seat by Sera. He seems a bit groggy, but nothing major.
<DeathStar> 6* Two vehicles speed by the bus, ramming each other, and go off into the distance
* Chad`Winters eyes the vehicles flying by and ramming into each other.
<Chad`Winters> Hmmm...
* Seraphna takes a look herself
* `Kane blinks as they go by. ".....Was that a brown van? Hitting another..vehicle?"
<Chad`Winters> Apparently...*he turns back to his datapad, resuming reading*
* `Kane rubs his chin and glances at Sera. Giving her a gentle smile.
<DeathStar> 6* The bus drives onward, giving them a nice time together
* Seraphna smiles and hugs him back, "So... nervous at all?"
* `Kane glances at her. "Why would I be nervous?"
* Seraphna giggles, "Dunno, just... Will's in charge now, it's a whole new Janus."
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure he won't lead it any differently than Cran did him self.
<`Kane> He would be crazy too. The place never stopped growing.
<DeathStar> 6* The bus exits the city limits and approaches the Janus Base.
<DeathStar> 6* The bus enters the base complex and begins to drive past the multiple buildings.
* Seraphna hmms to herself, looking over something on her datapad
<`Kane> I feel like i'm back at school. *he comments while sitting there patiently*
<DeathStar> 6* The bus comes to a stop outside a building
* Chad`Winters stands up from his seat and moves down the aisle and steps off the bus.
<Seraphna> "Eh, we get better buses."
* Seraphna follows after her brother
* `Kane presses his glasses up onto the brim of his nose as he steps off of the bus.
* Chad`Winters places his datapad into his side pouch and he walks down the sidewalk towards the complex.
<DeathStar> 6* Once inside the building, they are inside a white lobby area, with metal detectors.
* Chad`Winters steps upto the metal detectors then walks through it.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard nods. On the other side is an elevator, that must go down since it's one floor.
* `Kane also places his datapad in the side pouch and steps through.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the elevator and steps inside, he turns and leans against one of the walls and crosses his arms.
* Seraphna puts her datapad down, then her gun, then a blade from her boot, in practice of going about armed since her self discoveries in the past.
* `Kane gathers his things after passing through and moves over to the elevator with Chad.
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head as Kane steps in.
* Seraphna collects her own things, smiling softly as she heads over for Kane
* `Kane glances at Chad, wondering what he is shaking his head for.
* Chad`Winters reaches over to the button and hits it the second Sera get's on
* Seraphna giggles, "Someone's eager to get to work!"
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator begins to move down
<`Kane> I'm sure he can't wait for Spade to sing his praises. *he smiles*
<Chad`Winters> I prefer to be prompt and on time.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors open into a massive engineering lab. Engineers are busy working on various projects. Spade walks towards them in his unmarked uniform.
* Seraphna smiles happily when she sees him
<DeathStar> <Spade> You're only 1 minute late. 6He notes, tapping his watch
<Chad`Winters> Serena kept us up at the security check point.
* `Kane glances at Chad, then at Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade raises an eyebrow, then motions. "Follow me." 6He begins to walk past all the various engineering tables.
<Seraphna> "Sorry, they don't seem to like the weapons..."
* Seraphna follows after him
* Chad`Winters follows behind, glancing at the various tables as he passes by
<DeathStar> 6* Spade opens a door to an office, walking inside and sitting down at the head of a table.
* Chad`Winters steps into the office and moves over to a seat, sitting down
* `Kane also has a seat, he presses his fingers to the glasses, putting them back to their spot on the brim of his nose.
* Seraphna takes a seat, smiling still, clearly enjoying herself
<DeathStar> <Spade> Well. I've been spending the last month going over our financial records and I must say Janus has been sliding down this past year. 6He cups his hands together.
<Chad`Winters> Probably could be associated with the expenses that were invested in Cran's election.
* Seraphna smiles still
<DeathStar> <Spade> Actually, we have thieves. 6He holds a datapad.
<Seraphna> "We what...?"
* `Kane arches a brow at this.
* Seraphna looks over, suddenly eager to learn who is, quite essentially, robbing her.
<DeathStar> <Spade> It seems a new organization has popped up that's been stealing materials from us. Today they managed to steal an energy accelerated before they wrecked.
* Chad`Winters glances back at Sera then over at Spade again. 1"...In a car chase?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> So the reports say.
<Chad`Winters> Interesting...
<Seraphna> "That would be the one we saw earlier... I bet."
<Chad`Winters> What's the name of this organization?
<`Kane> ...They were attacked by a brown van. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Spade> They are merely called "The VI". Not the most clever name, I confess.
<Chad`Winters> They must have a good network if they're able to steal from Janus.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Quite good.
<DeathStar> <Spade> But, for now, that's not out concern. It's building the best things you can to make a profit. And right now we have two geniuses here.
<DeathStar> <Spade> So, the way I see it, Chief Engineer should go to the person who completes the next best project. Surprise me. 6He collects his datapad, then stands up.
* `Kane glances at Spade. "And what of me?"
* Chad`Winters tilts his eyebrow, watching him.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Do... whatever you do best. 6He motions to Kane. "A project yourself, no doubt."
* Seraphna smiles softly, already formulating ideas
* `Kane tilts his head to the side. "Alright."
* Chad`Winters pushes himself up. 1"And we have access to whatever resources we need, correct?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Correct.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I'll give you all until the end of the day.
* `Kane rubs his neck, a bit suprised at the tight time limit. "Then we have no time to waste."
* Chad`Winters stands up from his chair and stretches his arms out. He then moves towards the door and steps outside, already moving towards a terminal.
* Seraphna heads over to a terminal, plugging in her datapad and loading a few designs she had in the works
* `Kane moves to the last empty terminal and powers it up, he instantly begins to get to work.
* Chad`Winters eyes his work station, he glances over at Spade, tilting his head slightly.
* Seraphna seems to have a killer time going through schematics, her hands flying voer the keyboard.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade adjusts his uniform, then walks off.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head and begins typing on his terminal, obviously working from scratch.
* `Kane glances over at Chad and Sera. Like Chad seems to be working from scratch, even to the fact that his face makes a crinkled annoyance as he has to open a new schematic program from his datapad, apparently his version has some added tweaks.
* Chad`Winters reaches into his pouch with his left hand and he pulls out a bottle of water, taking a swig from it, his right hand not leaving his terminal as it types.
* Chad`Winters sets the bottle of water on his desk. He scratches the back of his head with his left hand as he types with his right. 1"So what ya thinking up of Kane?"
* `Kane glances at Chad. "Now I can't go and tell you that. It would be ruining the surprise of my enevitable success." He smirks.
* Seraphna keeps typing things out, having descided to go with one of her larger ships.
<Chad`Winters> Inevitable....Kane....Not Enevitable...
<`Kane> Forgive my dialect. Mr. Perfect. *he muses as he goes back to work.*
* Chad`Winters moves his left hand over to a drawing pad set up to the side of his terminal and he begins drawing on it, his other hand still typing.
<DeathStar> 6* Lunch time arrives in a matter of hours.
* Seraphna doesn't even ntoice as it rolls by, wrapped up in her work
* `Kane glances down at her work. "It's lunch time." He glances at the other two.
<Seraphna> "Hmm...?" *she keeps on working, hands flying still*
* `Kane pulls himself up into a standing position, seems he isn't too worried about the time limit now. "Lunch time!" He bellows out again. To get their attention.
* Chad`Winters tilts his head from side to side as he finishes drawing.
* Chad`Winters stands up, stretching again.
* `Kane stands there, watching the both of them. "Your work wont go anywhere. Come'on."
* Chad`Winters disconnects his datapad. 1"Lead the way then."
* Seraphna does teh same and smiles, "Sorry about that, you know how I get.
* `Kane coughs, "Well. I saw a kitchen area on the way in." He moves towards it.
* Chad`Winters follows behind him his left hand shoves into it's pocket and his head glued down to his datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade eats a tuna sandwich in the kitchen area.
* `Kane steps in and nods his head to Spade. He moves over to a vending machine and observes it.
<`Kane> What to eat...*he murmurs to himself, looking through his choices*
* Chad`Winters reaches past Kane, hitting a button on the machine, he then moves over and slides the door open and pulls out a bowl of ramen noodles.
* Seraphna grabs a rice bowl and takes a seat
* Chad`Winters moves over and sits down off to the side, he sets his datapad on the table and begins tapping on it with a stylus while he eats with his other hand.
<DeathStar> <Spade> So, how is it going?
<Chad`Winters> Fine so far.
<Seraphna> "VERY Good." *she smiles and eats*
<DeathStar> 6* Spade finishes his tuna sandwich, wiping his mess up with a napkin.
<Chad`Winters> How's business on your end Spade?
* `Kane grabs a sandwhich out of the vending machine and moves over to sit down, eating it. He hasn't spoken about business yet.
<DeathStar> <Spade> "Very" good.
* Chad`Winters eyes Spade. 1"Why would this organization go after Janus? I'm sure there are other easier targets to hit than the company.
<DeathStar> <Spade> We make the best supplies. I would assume they want the equipment.
* Seraphna eats quietly
* `Kane presses his glasses up onto the brim of his nose and blinks, finishing his meal. "We could planet some "fake" equipment for them to steal?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Fake equipment? 6He repeats.
<Chad`Winters> Seems to...convenient...
* `Kane shrugs. "You could take something practical, and rewire it to explode at a given time. Or at a distinct distance...Something of that nature."
<Seraphna> "Or exhume toxic gas and send out a tracking signal..."
<Chad`Winters> And if that doesn't work, you'd know you had someone working on the inside for them.
* `Kane nods at both remarks.
* Chad`Winters finishes his ramen noodles and stands up, leaving his datapad there. He moves over another vending machine and gets a bottle of water.
<DeathStar> <Spade> So tell me. What are you all working on?
* `Kane tosses his garbage over to the trash. Glancing at Spade.
<Seraphna> "Something siilar to my last major project with Father..." *she says, purposely leaving it out as a "you-know-what" remark*
* `Kane glances at Chad now.
<Chad`Winters> I'm not sure yet...I was thinking of a way to install a coffee maker on a shuttle...
<DeathStar> 6* Spade chuckles, tossing away his napkin and getting up. "I'll leave you to your fun." 6He walks out
* Seraphna rolls her eyes
<`Kane> I'd enjoy that. *he notes to Chad*
<Chad`Winters> Then I'm sure I'll be a shoe-in.
* `Kane nods his head. And glances around. He stands and bows lightly to the two. "I'm finished eating, and I have much more too work on." With that he steps for the exit.
* Seraphna follows him out after smiling to Chad
