<DeathStar> Location: The City
<DeathStar> 6* The time is 8:00 AM on N.Y's Eve
* Xanatos is now known as Kane
<DeathStar> 6* It is a snowing, freezing morning on Earth, and so far the only big plans is the 10:00 press conference by the President regarding the ATLEAN matter.
<Ariel> NRP: 16 hours later, New York pops into existance.
* Dias steps into the Military Complex housing the new ship and begins making his way to his office.
<Dias> NRP: Chad
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits at his breakfast table, a bottle of a half-drunk beer in front of him. He wears only his pants, his chest showing a hand-print, mutaliated scar on his chest. He takes a sip of the beer, swallowing, clearly drunk and high already.
<DeathStar> 6* Outside essential personnel, the complex is empty of everyone - including workers on the ship.
* Elayne yawns a little, watching the news as she finishes her breakfast, dressed and ready for her meeting today.
<DeathStar> 6* Taking a deep breath, Warren puts a half-eaten biscuit in his mouth, chewing.
* Kane is currently in his bathroom, wearing only boxers and brushing his teeth, his eyes are locked onto himself as he brushes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the apartment, having spent the night outside again. He begins undressing as he heads into to the bathroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren finishes the biscuit, dusting his hands as he guzzles down the rest of the beer. He stands ands hands for the closet.
* Kane spits and turns on the sink, washing off the brush. He sets the toothbrush off to the side and then take his hands and cups them and places them under the water. Then he takes a sip and begins to swish the water around in his mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* Grabbing his military shirt, Warren slides it onto himself, adjusting the sleave cuffs. He begins to button the shirt.
* Chad`Winters makes his way into his office finally and boots up his computer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes his way into the bathroom and shuts the door. He then drops his boxers and turns the shower on, stepping inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren finishes with his shirt and grabs his cane from the door handle, limping his way past the clock. 8:07. He opens the front door, stepping out.
* Kane spits the water mixed with toothpaste into the sink and then turns the water off. Reaching off to his right he grabs a towel and wipes his mouth off. Then he moves back into his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Working his way down his icy steps, Warren moves over his car, unlocking the car door and getting inside. He cranks up the car.
* Alicia is now known as Ceilidh
* Elayne finishes getting dressed as she taps away on her datapad, "Yes yes... I know... meeting..."
* Ceilidh yawns, still asleep, but stirring
<DeathStar> 6* Adjusting the radio to find some music with a guitar, Warren begins to drive out onto the icy streets, adjusting the heater a bit on the car.
* Chad`Winters sits down infront of his terminal and begins prepping things for tomorrow, he then taps his the comm piece in his ear.
* Kane steps over to closet and begins to look through his clothes, he glances over at Ceil still asleep and smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stops at a red light, fishing around his folder, glancing at the info on Chuck Yeger as he waits.
* Kane pulls out a grey t-shirt and slides it on, then he grabs some jeans and pulls them on, hoping on one foot to get the second leg in.
<DeathStar> 6* Glancing up at it turning green, Warren drives along again, still eyeing his folder instead of the road.
* Elayne steps outside, yawning as a shuttle lands, a familair Atlantean opening the shuttle door for her and helping her in. She's dressed very niely today, business like.
<Ceilidh> NRP: * Warren crashes into a lamppost and dies instantly.
* Chad`Winters nods then taps his comm off. He leans back in his chair as he eyes the schedule infront of him
<DeathStar> 6* He grabs his comm, putting it in his ear. He calls up the security team in place for the conference at 10, making sure they're ready. As he talks, he still ignores the road, narrowly missing a dog.
* Kane moves over to his dresser and pulls out a pair of socks and then gently sits down on the edge of the bed. Pulling on his socks, Kane glances over at Ceil but pauses for a second, his eyes turning to the ceiling.
* Ariel quietly sits outside, wearing a hooded winter jacket, and sipping a cup of tea. She's thoughtful, watching the snow.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Warren runs over a small child*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias finally steps outside of the shower and begins shaking himself dry. He grabs a towel and wipes the rest down and begins dressing
<Elayne> *The shuttle makes it's landing on the roof of the Government building, two Atlantean guards stepping out, Lukutus helping Elayne off the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Pulling out his ear piece, Warren comes to a stop at another red light. He studies Yeger's file, eyeing all his marks of honor. No wonder Darien hired him as base security.
* Kane blinks and then extends his hand out to Ceil's thigh. He nudges her gently. "Ceil...it's morning." He says lightly.
<Ceilidh> "Mmmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Starting up again, Warren turns onto another street. Tossing down the folder, Warren reaches with one hand into his coat, grabbing his bottle of pills. His chest aches and his back responds in kind.
<Kane> You gotta wake up, it's daylight outside. *he says with a smile*
* Elayne steps into the building, heading for the waiting room, with her escort.
* Chad`Winters rubs his face, eyeing the tim
<Ceilidh> "Oh.. right."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks over to his room and steps inside, shutting the door loudly and begins to pick out his clothes for the day.
<DeathStar> 6* Popping his pill finally after fiddling with the lid, Warren continues along the streets.
<DeathStar> 6* Finally, pulling into the apartment, Warren steps out, leaning on his cane to help him out. He takes a deep breath, shutting his car door.
* Kane smiles and pats her thigh gently before standing up. "I'll be making breakfast." He says in a chipper tone, moving out of the bedroom and towards the kitchen.
* Ceilidh gets up, and starts to get dressed
<Ceilidh> "Okay, thanks."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of his room, having picked a grey sweatshirt and blue pants. He then steps into the living room and looks around.
* Elayne sits and waits, taking her time as she deals with matters of her people on her Datapad, Lukuts yawning boredly as he sits across from her.
<DeathStar> 6* Walking along the parking lot, Warren makes his way for the entrance.
* Chad`Winters pushes himself out of his chair and rubs the back of his neck. He turns and leaves his office and begins walking down the hallway.
* Kane steps into the kitchen and slides to a stop, opening the fridge to look in and see what his options are.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shows them his ID as he steps into the building. He moves for the elevators.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to the couch and grabs a cushion off it and moves over to the front door and opens it and steps outside
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps in after the elevator arrives, hitting the button for his floor.
* Chad`Winters stops infront of a vending machine and puts some credits in. He then stares at it for awhile.
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping out after the elevator doors open, Warren shuffles down the hallway, passing people without giving them any glances.
<DeathStar> 6* Reaching the end of the hallway, he moves into the waiting area, barely giving Elayne or her guard a look as he sits down. He lays the cane down beside him and grabs his datapad.
* Kane pulls out milk, eggs, and bacon, Kane places them on the counter and taps the counter before moving over to grab some potatoes.
* Chad`Winters taps a button on it and grabs the bottle of juice and he quickly opens it
* Ceilidh heads downstairs at last
* Elayne doesn't look up, "Hello Warren, how are you?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fine. 6He does his work quietly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks down the street carrying the cushion on his side. He suddenly juts across the street, running through oncoming traffic.
<DeathStar> 6* Cars wreck as they attempt to swerve and the ice gets them.
<Ceilidh> "Something smells good."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Even in the 22nd century, roads are still susceptible to ice.
<DeathStar> NRP: It's a way of life.
<Elayne> "Offer is still open if you want us to look at that leg."
* Kane looks up from his cooking and smiles. "I've been working hard to be a good little wife for you." He muses. Glancing back down to his frying potatoes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ignores the comment completely.
* Ceilidh laughs. "Well, you're definitely a new age man."
* Chad`Winters makes his way down the sidewalk now and then stops infront of a man and begins talking to him.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Eyeing the traffic report that comes through on his datapad about a wreck, Warren ignores it completely.
* Chad`Winters continues walking down the hallway again, heading down to the building section of the complex
* Kane tosses the potatoes a bit and then slides them onto a plate, his hands move over to begins making the scrambled eggs. "Soooo. What are we going to do today?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly hands the man the cushion and takes a brown bag from him. He then turns and begins walking down the sidewalk again.
<DeathStar> 6* A janitor passes Chad in the hallway.
* Chad`Winters eyes the janitors face for a second then nods to him as he keep's walking down the hallway.
<Ceilidh> "I don't know.. things have been quiet since Darien vanished..."
<Elayne> Luke> "Why'd we come so early sis?"
<Ceilidh> "When did you learn to cook, anyway?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the man talking.
<Elayne> "It pays to be punctual Lukutus."
* Chad`Winters pushes open the doors leading into the main heart of the complex, where the parts are made and begins walking through the area, eyeing things as he goes through.
* Kane shrugs. "Xan was teaching me before he left the team. Before then I mostly just ate out." He slides the eggs onto a plate and then begins frying the bacon.
<Ceilidh> "Xan... taught you to cook..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fiddles with something on his datapad, scanning reports.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops infront of a Chinese Food shop then moves down the side towards the back.
<Ceilidh> NRP: Oh joy. I may have to reboot soon
* Kane nods his head, glancing back at her. "Yeah, he used to cook for the team. He was much better at it than I am." he says with a smile, then winces and rubs his hand, some bacon grase popped up onto it.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Say oyu gotta take a crap.
<Ceilidh> "Are you alright?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Are you efficently prepared for the meeting? 6He asks Elayne, not looking up from his datapad.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops infront of the back door to the Chinese Food shop and knocks on it 3 times then waits for a second and pounds 2 more times.
* Kane nods, "Yeah, just some stray grease." He says with a smile. He turns back to finish letting the bacon cook.
<Chad`Winters> 6A Chinese man opens the door and eyes him. Dias holds out the bag as the man looks from side to side before grabbing it. He ducks back inside.
<Ceilidh> "Run some cold water over it if it burnt.."
<DeathStar> 6* Noting her not responding, Warren tunes her out again.
* Elayne looks up, having tuned everything out, "I was just finishing up, sorry."
<Ceilidh> "I'll be right back, I just need to get something."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mhn. 6He finishes his report, and puts up the datapad.
* Ceilidh heads off quickly
* Kane smiles and nods, "Take your time."
* Ceilidh has quit IRC (Quit: Agh, rebooting)
<Chad`Winters> 6The man comes back outside and hands Dias a skinned duck. Dias nods to the man and walks back down the alley towards the street.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his knee, then grabs his pain pills, obviously not content with having taken them 30 minutes ago or so. He pops some out onto his hand, and throws it back in his mouth.
* Kane places the bacon on a plate and then moves over to the sink to begin washing up all the dishes he soiled in the process of cooking.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns walking down the sidewalk again, carrying the skinned duck as he goes
<Elayne> "Is it really that painful?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I take it for fun. 6He notes sardonically.
<Elayne> "I wonder."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren closes his eyes, crossing his arms as he sits there.
<Elayne> "Why do you choose pain over a cure?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> There is no cure. 6He notes simply. He opens his eyes. "Your arrogance is offputting."
* Chad`Winters having pleased his need to check things over, he turns off and heads out a door and back into the hallway.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns down another alley and heads down it towards a group of bums surrounding a fire in a garbage can.
<DeathStar> 6* He glances out into the hallway.
<Elayne> "No human cure..." *she sighs* "Anything can be healed with the right amount of technology, even death."
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. 6He eyes Elayne. "It cannot. You are not a God. Your people are not special. Why do take a human approach: And stay the hell out of my business."
<DeathStar> (not, not do)
* Ceilidh has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ceilidh
<Elayne> "Because I'm not human."
* Kane finishes washing up and grabs a towell, drying his hands off. Then Kane makes two plates and sets them both at the table. He then steps over to pour two glasses of juice.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Try it.
* Ceilidh heads back. "Okay, I'm back."
<Elayne> "I am however, a healer by trade."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up a single finger. "This discussion is over."
* Elayne sighs and sits back, "Fine."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops infront of the bums and hands one of them the cooked bird, the bum looks at Dias oddly.
* Kane nods to the plate as he places down the juice, taking a seat. "I hope it tastes good. You can be honest."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just stares straight ahead at the wall, not saying anything more.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias points to the beat up bicycle behind him which the bum eagerly trades for. He grabs it and walks back down the alley while the bums begin cooking the duck.
<Elayne> *Lukutus yawns boredly.
<DeathStar> 6* A man in a suit steps into the waiting room. "The President is ready to see you. Please, follow me." 6He motions to the hallway.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<DeathStar> 6* Grabbing his cane, Warren uses it to stand, moving to step into the hallway. The man turns and begins to move down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Eyeing Elayne sitting there, Warren turns to follow after the man.
* Elayne gets up and moves after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, across time, a man named Maestro is taking out his trash.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the street and tosses the bike across his bike and begins walking through the crowd with it.
<Ceilidh> "Thanks again for making breakfast."
* Ceilidh starts to eat.
<DeathStar> 6* As Maestro turns around, he comes face to face with a gun pointed at his face. The trigger is pulled and Maestro is left dead in the snow.
<DeathStar> -End Ep1-
* Retrieving #taw modes...
* DeathStar changes topic to 'The Alien Wars 4: PAX | (Current Weekly Schedule for Main Sessions) - Tuesday - 8 EST and Thursday - 8:00 EST. | Season 8: 1 of 24 completed | Episode 2: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM | '
<Ceilidh> That was a surprisingly good Ep1
<DeathStar> -Begin Ep2-
<Ceilidh> NRP: The best part was that last line
<Elayne> NRP: Agreed
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stops outside the doors to the President's office. The man in the suit opens it for them.
<DeathStar> 6* Taking a breath, Warren moves in, taking one of the two seats across from the President.
* Chad`Winters steps back into his office and over to his terminal and sits down, beginning to type on it
* Elayne steps inside as the door is opened, moving behind Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* The door is closed on Lukutus. The man stands guard so he can't get in.
* Kane eats quiestly for a moment then glances up. "So does it taste horrible?"
<DeathStar> <President> Welcome, Captain Carmichael. Ms. Trenton.
<Elayne> *Lukutus leans against the opposite wall.
<Ceilidh> "No, it tastes great!"
<Elayne> *Elayne hows her head in greetings, "Mr. President."
<Ceilidh> NRP: "Less filling!"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Hows?! She insults you!
<DeathStar> <President> Shall we get down to business?
<DeathStar> 6* Outside the building, a small crowd has begun to gather to get spots in line for the conference. The security personnel are making sure everyone's keeping back.
* Chad`Winters moves over to a bike shop and goes inside.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his chin as he sits there, saying nothing at this point. The President grabs some papers in front of him, glancing them over.
* Elayne sits, letting Hodges start the meeting.
* Kane smiles and exhales a sigh of relief. "Well that is good to hear. Xan said that cooking is about your own judgement, but I'm too much of a tight ass to stray away from recipes. So this was a first."
<DeathStar> <President> Now, Miss. Trenton. I am ready to make your people part of the Earth Federation, however, as we do with all our species in our government, we must identify and log every ATLEAN.
<Ceilidh> "You did really well."
<DeathStar> 6* The President cups his hands together, staring right at Elayne. A clock on the wall ticks away.
<Kane> Thank you. *he says with a grin, pulling up the juice to take a sip.* Decided what we're gonna do today?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren runs his hand along his cane, waiting.
<Elayne> "Agreeable, however, how public will this information be?"
<Elayne> "We have many issues with, what's the term... speciesists?"
<Ceilidh> "I'll leave that up to you."
<DeathStar> <President> It will be on file, but not readily available to the public. It won't be denied if a proper search is conducted. No one's species' information is classified.
* Kane chuckles and takes a bite of the bacon. "Always leaving it up to me. I've ran out of ideas."
<Elayne> "Once again reasonable sir... as members of the Earth Federation... we would like equal rights with humans, of course."
<DeathStar> <President> Naturally.
<Ceilidh> "Well.. I wonder if there are any good movies?"
<Elayne> "And Amnesty for any Atleans who were forced to go beyond the law prior to this agreement."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of the bike shop with two new tires and rims, albeit old ones. He then hops onto the bike and moves onto the street biking down it along the side.
<DeathStar> <President> All such offenses will, of course, be dropped if they are justifiably in relation to being persecuated for their species.
<Elayne> "Now to the issue of government, would we be merging our parties with your current system or would we keep to our own?"
<Kane> Hmmm. I'm not sure. I could check the holo-net. *he takes a few more bites* Actually i'll do that after I finish eating.
<DeathStar> <President> The ATLEANs would have to become a part of the Earth government system and find places in the government.
<DeathStar> <President> Provided they're properly elected.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tilts his head a bit, as if tuning out the conversation.
* Ceilidh keeps eating
<Elayne> "It should be understood that the Atleans who would be merging into the Federation are also still citizens of the Atleanean Covenant, as we are not simply existant in Earth Space."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias uses the proper hand signals as he crosses the street towards a casino.
* Kane pauses and glances up at her. "You seemed to be having a nightmare last night."
<DeathStar> <President> In order to be part of our planets under our jurisdiction, you are offically Earth citizens. Any outside ties will not be acceptable as far as laws, orders, priorities. By agreeing to this, you are Earth citizens - hereby accountable to our laws and regulations.
* Chad`Winters continues working on paperwork, most likely being the only person working on New Year's Eve.
* Ceilidh nods. "Yeah.. I guess.."
<Kane> Anything serious? *he watches her closely*
<Ceilidh> "Just a nightmare.. nothing to worry about."
<DeathStar> 6* The President shifts in his seat, eyeing the clock.
<Elayne> "Agreed, I am simply notifying you of the dual Citizenship."
<Elayne> "We will of course, grant Earth access to our Nanotechnology."
* Elayne changes subjects ratehr quickly.
* Kane nods. "Alright. I just worry, that's all." He finally smiles after this, finishing off the food on his plate.
<DeathStar> 6* The President cups his hands together. "Our nanotechnology is acceptable as it is right now, Miss. Trenton, but any resarch you would like to share would be a fascinating read for our scientists, I'm sure."
<Ceilidh> "I'll be fine.. though, I'm glad you care."
<Elayne> "I'm sure it would." *she smiles softly* "Now as my first notion of peace, I give you my real name, it's Elienhiem Hianule."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren waves his hand past his face, staring at it.
* Kane taps the table with his left hand for a few seconds, before pulling the glass up to his mouth and finishing off the contents in there as well. He then stands and grabs his plate. "Finished?"
<DeathStar> <President> Well, Ms. Hianule, I'm sure this will be a mutual benefit in the solution of peace. 6He taps a button. "Please bring in the paperwork for us to sign." 6He releases the button. "Since we'll be integrating your people into our society - properly - this time, we will select you as the chairperson for your people in upcoming matters - until things are settled in properly."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias skids to a stop infront of the Casino and puts his beat up bike against the bike rike and makes his way inside.
* Ceilidh finishes her breakfast off. "Am now."
* Kane grins and takes her plate, then moves over and begins to wash the dishes once again.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drops his hand after a moment. "Since various minor races in the Earth government are seeking to place representatives on the ship, I would like Hianule to select the representative for her people to go along as well." 6He goes back to eyeing nothing. "No doubt it will prove to be stimulating conversation."
<Ceilidh> "I'll wash the dishes, it's alright..."
* Elayne smiles, taking a hankerchief out of her pocket she dabs her cheek, removing some flesh colored makeup from it, revealing her natural black "claw marks".
* Ceilidh goes to help, at least
<Ceilidh> NRP: Elayne is secretly Jurian?
<DeathStar> 6* The doors open and a female secretary walks in, handing everyone a form of the agreement that is to be signed. The President pulls out a pen, signing his name to it.
* Kane laughs. "You can dry." he grabs the dish towel and tosses it to her.
<Elayne> "I believe we have a bit of time for that, I will happily speak with you on that matter later Warren."
<Elayne> NRP: ATLEANs have had black stripe marks since TAW2
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves inside the casino and over to a betting booth and begins talking to various people
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just offers a fake smile, clearly high.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: There also died too.
* Elayne reads over the form carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* He glances over his copy of the form, seeing it's acceptable to the terms he got for Elayne. He sets it down on his lap, propping his head up with his hand.
* Elayne finishes reading, smiling, "Very well prepared, it seems this is acceptable."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens her eyes finally, eyeing the clock. She crawls out of bed, padding around in a large shirt. She squints, not seeing anyone in the house, so she steps outside, glancing around at the snow.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hands her a pen without even looking.
* Kane hands Ceil wet dishes as he washes them.
* Ceilidh dries the dishes, unless they're soapy, in which case she rinses them first
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias continues conversing with numerous people, apparently he's quite the talker.
<DeathStar> 6* The President sits there, eyeing her, waiting for her to sign. Warren keeps holding out the pen, apparantly unphased by holding it out
* Elayne takes it and signs her name.
<DeathStar> 6* The same woman takes the forms and steps out. The President smiles, standing up and holding out his hand to Elayne. "This is a great day for the history of our people."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps his hand out, waiting for the return of his pen.
* Elayne smiles and stands, taking his hand, "Indeed it is."
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping back inside, Zephyr moves over to the cabinent, getting a glass and filling with cold water.
* Kane seems to be in quite the pleasant mood as he finished washing and grab anothe towel to dry his hands. "I"ll go grab my datapad and check the holonet." He says before turning and moving into their living room.
<DeathStar> <President> I have a few things I need to take care of, so let us meet again in 20 mins to go outside and talk with the people. 6* Warren keeps his hand out, wanting his favorite pen back.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to the betting booth and begins staring at the screens.
* Elayne surrenders Warren's pen to him. "Very well."
* Ceilidh finishes drying the last dish, dries her hands, and then follows
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pockets the pen and stands up. "Mr. President." 6He turns and limps back out into the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, eyeing the time, realizing she's running late. She moves back to her room, fishing out a pink sweater.
* Kane plops down onto the couch and pulls the datapad over to him from the side table, he begins to boot it up and access the holonet to look for movie listings.
* Elayne steps out after Warren and sighs, giving Luke a thumbs up.
* Ceilidh sits down next to Kane and waits
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his watch, then moves down the hallway, working his way over to a candy machine. He fishes out some credits from his pocket.
<DeathStar> 6* Pulling on her sweater and examing herself in the mirror, Zephyr pulls on her pants, then grabs a coat, stepping outside as she brushes her hair. She begins to walk for the government building, hoping to make it in time to watch Warren glare at the cameras.
* Elayne smiles and takes a seat with her "brother"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, aftering eyeing the cadny machine for a good 3 mins, puts in his credits, hitting his choice - a chocolate bar.
<Kane> Hmmm. Well there seems to be a typical action flick. Explosions and they like...*he reads some more* Oh here is a romantic comedy...*he glances back down then extends the datapad to Ceil* See anything you like?
<DeathStar> 6* He reaches down and grabs the candy, opening it with his teeth as he limps back over to the seats, sitting down. He chews noisely.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands in the same place, not moving as people move around him as he just stares at the screen.
* Ceilidh looks through it. "That romantic comedy sounds good."
* Ariel pauses, glancing at Zephyr as she walks by. She doesn't decide to interrupt her daughter.
* Chad`Winters leans back his chair, deciding to take a short break since he's ahead of schedule
<DeathStar> 6* Warren finishes the bar and tosses the wrapper away. He chews the remainder of it, eyeing Lukutus of the Borg.
<Ceilidh> <Hotaru> *yawns, waking up finally*
<Elayne> *The oversized Atlean looks back at him with mismatched color eyes, meeting Warren's gaze simply.
* Kane smiles and nods. "Looks like we have a date scheduled for 7 pm then." He says with a smirk, before glancing at the time. He moves his hand over to turn on the holo-vid. The channel is the news.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his cane on the floor.
* Ceilidh watches
<DeathStar> 6* He doesn't break gaze, just staring right at him.
* Kane tilts his head, "Isn't something on the Atlean thing supposed to be coming on soon?"
<Elayne> *Airier yawns a little, not breaking the gaze either, his eyes are... incredibly lazy and impassive.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just taps his cane, apparantly unphased. He keeps eyeing him.,
<Chad`Winters> NRP: AHH IT'S DARIEN'S CLONE!
<Elayne> *Airier meets this unphased lock with yet more eyeing in return.
<DeathStar> NRP: He's a reploid clone of Darien!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: AIEEE!
<Ceilidh> NRP: <Fox> THREE Dariens?!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly steps forward to the booth and begins fishing out money from his pockets.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren marks him as a loser and eyes something more interesting. The potted plant.
<Ariel> <Plant> ......
<Elayne> *a mouse squeaks and leaps from the potted plant, scurrying off to conitnue it's plans for world domination*
<Ceilidh> NRP: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches into his pocket, grabbing the bottle. He taps out his pills, growing restless. His throws it back, swallowing, closing his eyes
<Elayne> Airier> "Gram pops a lot of pills too."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Elayne> *Elayne attempts, very hard, to hide the grin.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops an extra one just to tune out the voices.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins conversing with clerk at the betting station and slides his money to him and begins listing off where and how much the money goes.
<DeathStar> 6* He lets out his breath, getting up and limping his way to a window, eyeing the crowd below. He studies them.
<Elayne> "Big crowd?"
* Kane puts his arm around Ceil and pulls her in tight. "Man I couldn't be any happier." He says with a grin.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Decent.
<Ceilidh> "I couldn't either."
* Ceilidh rests against Kane
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the reporters down there with various holocameras flying around.
<Ariel> <Setsuna> *off to the side* "So what did they blackmail you with to get you doing this job, Warren?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods to the man then turns away with his ticket stub, pocking it quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* He taps the cane, eyeing Setsuna. "Free pills."
<Ariel> <Setsuna> "Doesn't do you much good if you use all the pills during the job."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shrugs his shoulder. "An addict doesn't consider that until after he's out."
<DeathStar> 6* He spins on his cane to glance at the President's bodyguard approaching.
<Ariel> <Setsuna> "They probally just gave you sugar tablets, you know."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then the room just naturally spins. 6He notes flatly.
<DeathStar> 6* The bodyguard comes to a stop. "The President is ready to meet you downstairs. Please - follow me." 6He turns to walk back down the hallway.
* Elayne stands, Lukutus moving closer to Elayne, protectively, his job pretty clear.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves through the casino, eyeing various tables.
* Chad`Winters eyes the time then taps on his terminal, brining up the news about the conference
<DeathStar> 6* Warren follows after Elayne, clearly fine with her going out first and getting shot if a sniper is out there.
<Ceilidh> <Hotaru> *gets up and dressed, and idly checks that everything is good and in place*
* Elayne moves, Lukutus moving in front of her.
<Ariel> <Setsuna> *waves slightly to Warren, and makes her way off on her own*
<Ariel> <Em> *sleeps. ZzzzzZzzzZzzZzzZzz*
<DeathStar> 6* They are led to an elevator. The bodyguard steps in first, holding it open for them.
* Kane watches the holovid awaiting the upcoming Atlean annoucements. "I think I might start working on a new program today." he says outloud, to make conversation.
<DeathStar> 6* One reporter stands at the back of the ground, adjusting his fliyng camera. He wears shades.
<DeathStar> (crowd)
<Ceilidh> "Oh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the elevator.
* Elayne steps into the elevator, Lukutus last.
<DeathStar> 6* The bodyguard removes his arm and lets the doors shut. Warren puts a hand to steady himself as the elevator goes down.
<Kane> Yeah, my last project is technically Janus' property. So I was thinking of writing up some new planes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Hotaru would eventually find that the center cushion is missing from the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finally reaches the crowd, slightly out of breath from running the last 25 mins.
<Ceilidh> <Hotaru> *looks around for the cushion*
<Ceilidh> "That sounds good."
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors open. The bodyguard steps out first.
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping onto the platform outside is an introduction speaker, telling them that the President of Earth is about to step outside.
<Elayne> *Lukutus steps out, followed by Elayne.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out last, grabbing his datapad with his free hand, eyeing it.
<Kane> Ahh it is finally time. *he says, focusing his attention on the holovid*
<DeathStar> <Speaker> And now, will you all stand at attention for the President. 6He steps aside as President Hodges steps out. The crowd shifts a bit as the President steps up to the podium, all smiles for the cameras.
<DeathStar> 6* The bodyguard stops them just at the door. "We'll let you out when it's time."
<Chad`Winters> 6After some detailed searching, the center cushion is nowhere to be found.
<Elayne> *Elayne nods quietly.
<DeathStar> <President> Thank you all for coming today, despite it being a holiday. We picked this day, because it is a time of endings, and new beginnings. And hopefully the new year will bring to Earth a time of great change - and prosperity. Our first step toward making a more cohesive and peaceful Earth is the inclusion of the ATLEAN people into our system.
<DeathStar> 6* The reporter in the back glances at his watch, then grabs his remote control for his camera, letting it fly up a bit. He checks the settings labeled "Wep."
<Ceilidh> NRP: WEP?
<DeathStar> <President> And now, here with me today, is Ms. Hianule. 6He motions to the door.
<DeathStar> -End Ep2-
