<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.4.25
<DeathStar> Location: THE PAX
<DeathStar> 6* After discovering a planet that not only could support, but actually held humanoid life, the PAX has stopped to investigate, as it's mandate. However, the race of humanoids on the planet have not yet evolved to the point to understand space and other races, so select missions have been led to study the race, and program their language into a universial translator.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans on his cane, eyeing the translator being programmed with information. John stands next to him, looking tired, as if he was woke up early.
* Dias` sits on a bench in the cilivilian sector, watching the people move about.
<DeathStar> <John> Right, so the scientists finished this little gadget. Our away team can use it to speak in the alien's language. 6He motions at it. "We've also got Peacemaker ready to do facial surgery so we look like them."
* Seraphna stands quietly nearby, listening.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *sits nearby, listening*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fine. 6He nods. "Get a team together, investigate the village. See what you can learn. Take notes." 6He eyes John on the last part, then walks over to his chair.
<DeathStar> <John> Right, notes. Like I'd forget the notes.
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
<DeathStar> 6* John tosses Kyouki the device. "You're coming with me, psychic girl."
* Xanatos is sitting in the floor of his room, back against the wall, his hand is holding a brush with paint on it, moving in various directions onto a canvas.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *catches* "Me? But I don't know anything about diplomacy!"
<DeathStar> <John> We're not doing diplomacy. Do you see me dragging a diplomat down there? We're spying on them, for godsake.
<DeathStar> <John> Besides, Ceres would probably offer someone's body if we took her.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... good point."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *stands up*
* Seraphna sighs quietly and shakes her head
<DeathStar> 6* John taps his comm. "Commandera Arakawa, we're forming a team at the doc's office. Meet me there."
<DeathStar> <John> I'd offer to let you come, Sera, but you just can't talk! 6He holds up his hands, grins, then walks out.
* Seraphna frowns and runs after him.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *heads after too*
* Seraphna pokes the back of his head.
<DeathStar> <John> Ow! What the hell? 6He turns around to look at Sera.
* Seraphna grins.
<DeathStar> <John> You don't poke a commanding officer. Jesus. Does anyone around here know how to show me respect?
* Dias` leans back in the bench and takes a sip from his juice box.
* Seraphna taps something on her datapad, "Since when does spying require talking?"
* Alicia has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> <John> Right. And what do you say if you get caught? "..."?
* Kyouki has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kyouki
* Seraphna taps out, "Act cute?"
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah. 6He laughs, stepping into Peacemaker's medical wing.
* Seraphna follows him, arms crossed up behind her head casually.
<DeathStar> <John> I'm here for my facial make over, Doc. Do the mute. 6He hops into a chair, leaning back.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Alright." *starts work*
* Seraphna blinks
* Kyouki heads in too
<DeathStar> <John> I bet you've been dying to get your hands on me, right, Doc? 6He asks her, a grin.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Not really. I don't know where you've been." *grins a bit*
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, you can just imagine that it's someplace you want go.
* Xanatos begins to whistle as he does his work, his whole body swayling slightly as he paints.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *opens a can of beer, glad she has no work to interupt her downtime*
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<DeathStar> 6* After sometime, John, Kyouki, and Seraphna are finished, now sporting larger foreheads, far less hair, and bulkier shoulders.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up, adjusting himself. "I must say I look rather dashing."
* Dias` hops up from the bench and moves down the street, heading back to his quarters
<Kyouki> "This is really strange."
<DeathStar> <John> You said it, mind girl.
* Seraphna shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* John points at his head, then at Kyouki's. "Well, since Cass seems to be ditching work, it's us three. And I get to write her up." 6He beams cheerfully at the thought. "Come on, to the teleporters."
* Kyouki nods, and heads that way
<DeathStar> 6* John begins to move down the hallway, followed by his two women.
* Seraphna yawns a bit and follows <.<
<DeathStar> <John> If you're bored, dear, I can leave you here.
<Kyouki> "What happened to the team, anyway?"
* Seraphna shakes her head, actually signing that she's just a bit tired.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, we don't need a team. I'm more than enough team. 6He steps into the teleporter room.
* Kyouki follows
<DeathStar> <John> Beam us down, Myria. 6He says as he steps onto the teleporter pad. "And remember, if this day repeats, let me know."
* Cassandra` has left #taw
* Xanatos pauses for a moment and stares at the paint on the canvas, he seems to be thinking about what he could add next to the picture.
* Kyouki steps onto a pad, waiting
<DeathStar> 6* The three are teleported down to the surface, in what appears to be a moderately humid forest.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
* Seraphna looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* John tilts his head a bit, glancing around. He swats something trying to bite his neck. "God, I hate the forest."
* Kyouki also glances around. "It looks like it hates you too."
<DeathStar> <John> Tell me what I'm thinking right now.
<Kyouki> "... why does the person I *can't* read the mind of ask me that?"
* Dias` steps into his quarters and moves into the shower.
<DeathStar> <John> Because you can't read my mind.
<Seraphna> .oO(Tell me you can at least read mine, I know it's a wierd mind, but...)
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into Peacemaker's office after the others have left. He tosses his empty bottle to Peacemaker, waiting.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *fills it up without comment this time*
* Kyouki nods to Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes the bottle, then steps into Chad's room.
* Seraphna smiles a little
<DeathStar> <John> Well, the village is that way. So lets, uh, go mingle. Or spy. Or see if their females are worth investigating
<DeathStar> 6* John begins to lead the way.
<Dias`> 6Shiva walks down hallway a book in her hand.
* Seraphna follows, sticking to John like glue.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hangs the cane on Chad's life support machine and sits down, playnig with his bottle.
* Kyouki follows.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *relaxes in the bar.. but something seems different.. does she usually dress that way when off duty?*
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos finally gets a summons: His meeting with the shrink has been set for 10 mins from now. And with a location.
<Kyouki> "At least it won't interfere with anything."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down beside Hotaru, wearing a cowboy hat. "What brings you here at this hour?"
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet and places the finished painting out of the way to dry, he moves over and washes his hands. After a moments time he moves over and pulls his shoes on, then moves out of his room and towards the location he was given.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Oh, I just felt like a drink or two." *is dressed like a catholic schoolgirl, for some odd reason?*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hits some buttons on the machine so it doesn't beep so loud. Or maybe he just turned it off. Warren settles down to sleep.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Going to church? 6She asks, grabbing a bottle of beer and bringing it to her lips.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *nearly spits out her drink, seeing Cheryl and Hotaru. Dragoon costume party?*
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Maybe I should." *swigs her whiskey*
<DeathStar> 6* John hops over a fallen tree, moving through the forest with good speed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The only reason people dress like that isn't to honor God. Last time I checked. 
* Kyouki follows John, not quite as expertly, but still quite fast
* Seraphna keeps up easily, she might even be slowing down for him.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *innocently* "Really?"
* Xanatos finally reaches the intended location.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans her back against the bar counter, turning to glance at Hotaru. "So, who are you seducing? Or are you just here for show and 'let me tell you about what's under it'?"
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, reaching the outskirts of the village. They appear to be harvesting food and wood, and walking around. Women protecting children. Much like humans.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "I don't know yet.. whoever I find interesting?"
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos would see a door with "Dr. Dominck Cross" on the door.
* Xanatos takes a breath before he knocks on the door.
<DeathStar> <Male Voice> Come in, come in.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders. "Alright, none of my business."
* Xanatos steps inside, closing the door behind him.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *downs her drink, as she discretely listens to the conversation*
<DeathStar> 6* A man with black hair is sitting there, with a scar over one eye, though the eye is undamaged. He appears to be in his early thirties. He smiles, standing. "Xanatos Durran. Pleasure. I'm Dr. Cross, but you can call me Dom." 6He holds out his hand.
* Seraphna looks about, especially trying to figure out the approximate era / level of technology.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, there's the village. Seems normal enough. 6He grabs some binoculars, spying on their movements. "Sera, activate the translates. See if we can listen to them."
* Kyouki watches the proceedings for now, trying to take in everything
<Xanatos> You can just call me Xan then. *he says as he extends his hand to shake Dom's.*
<DeathStar> 6* No technology is present. This is very natural.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Well, have a seat. 6He sits down after they shake hands, looking completely relaxed and non-judgemental.
<Dias`> 3
* Xanatos takes a seat, glancing around the office casually. "So...I guess you'll be telling me just how crazy I am?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her drink, glancing over at Hotaru, trying to judge just what sort of mood she is in.
<DeathStar> <Dom> I don't know. Are you crazy?
* Seraphna turns on the translates.
* Dias` steps out of the shower naked and moves over to his dresser and randomally pulls out some clothes and puts them on
<DeathStar> 6* There's a buzz in all their ears, then the faint murmur of the people can be made out, faintly in their Basic.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *is acting pretty cheerful right now, but that could just be a facade*
<Xanatos> I don't think so. *he says after a moment* I just think that i've got a few issues that I need issued,
<Xanatos> NRP: resolved*
<DeathStar> <Dom> What sort of issues?
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "So, have you seen anyone interesting?"
<Xanatos> You've read my file? *he moves his eyes from the ceiling back to Dom.*
* Dias` steps out of his room and makes his way back down to the civilian sector
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure. I've seen a lot of interesting people. 6She nods at a man with a horrendous face. "Bob there is pretty interesting. He was in the war, you know."
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... you've got strange tastes."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Didn't say he was my sort. You said interesting. 6She throws back some more of her beer. "Or do you mean, 'Is there anyone that's hot as sin that I can fuck and be done with it'?"
<DeathStar> <John> Well, it seems to be working. 6He notes after a moment. "And we look like them. Should we risk wandering in?"
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Well, I guess so." *seems a little embarrassed for a moment* "So, is there?"
* Seraphna shrugs softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Dom shrugs. "A file is only a summary. I'm more in what you think."
* Dias` steps into the bar and stretches his arms out as he surveys the scene
<Kyouki> "I can't tell if they'll find us suspicious unless we do."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, there's always our newest entry. 6She notes, swallowing her beer.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *holds her breath to keep from choking, hearing the prim and proper Hotaru say something like that*
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Ohhh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods at Dias. "But I wouldn't rate him as hot as sin. But he does have that catholic school boy look."
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... you're serious?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Are you?
* Dias` scratches his butt then moves over to the counter and motions for a beer.
<Xanatos> Well...*he puases as he lifts his head up and thinks* If you want to know it all, I didn't have the greatest home life. My father was abusive and my mother died whenever I was young, shortly after she died I ran away from home. So most of what I am is my own doing, be it good or bad..."
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6He considers, then begins to stroll into the village, getting looks from everyone.
* Seraphna follows after John
* Kyouki heads in, trying to look casual
<DeathStar> 6* People pull away from the newcomers, glancing at them suspiciously. John plays the part of a weary traveller well.
<DeathStar> <Dom> You say your father was abusive. Would you go into more detail?
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... there's nothing wrong with me, if that's what you're thinking."
* Seraphna dotes at his heels, playing the weary traveller's woman very well, silent.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, okay. It's just, you know, this isn't your sort of ... thing. 6She gestures at the outfit.
<Xanatos> He beat me, how much more detail do you need than that? He thought I was a failure and he would punch me over things that weren't even in my control.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Maybe it's more me than you think."
* Dias` grabs his beer then turns, seeing Hotaru, in a catholic school girl outfit. 1"Holy...." He looks up at the cieling. 1"Thank you god."
<DeathStar> 6* Dom presses his fingers together. "How do you feel about the way your father treated you?"
* Dias` takes a deep drink and heads over to Hotaru and Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Well, I promise you won't be alone mouch longer. See?" 6She gives Dias a smile of pain
<Dias`> And here I thought dreams didn't come true...6He tilts his head giving her a dreamy smile.
<DeathStar> <John> Hello. Do you have food and water to spare? 6He speaks, a buzz, and his voice is speaking in their language. They murmur.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Hi!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes, clearly trying not to lose her buzz over Dias.
* Dias` blinks then leans back, eyeing Hotaru. He glances over at Cheryl with a look of confusion on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there, glancing at Kyouki and Sera. He seems ready to bolt.
* Kyouki quietly reads the minds of the aliens
<DeathStar> 6* Suspicion. Curiousity. Worry. Interest.
* Seraphna glances back at him, looking timid, something she's gotten good at of late.
<Xanatos> He was a coward. *he says after a moment*
<DeathStar> 6* Finally, a male alien stands forward. "Come to my house. We talk and share food." 6He waves his hand, then moves back. John nods, then follows the big alien, deciding this is his best bet.
* Kyouki looks very grateful suddenly. "Thankyou."
<DeathStar> 6* Dom nods. "How did you feel about your mother?"
<Dias`> Did she get hit in the head?
* Seraphna sticks with John.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "What? What makes you think that?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's feeling very godly. I'll leave you to your thing, Hotaru. 6She grabs her beer and walks over and takes a seat at an empty table.
<DeathStar> 6* She then tips her hat down so it covers her face.
<Xanatos> I loved my mother, she was the best thing about my childhood. *his head lowers as he speaks about her*
<Dias`> Well your outfit, which I will go on the record of saying is fucking hot, the fact that you didn't roll your eyes when I hit on you...
<DeathStar> <Dom> Did she know your father beat you?
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Should I have?"
<Xanatos> Yes. *he simply says*
* Kyouki follows John and Sera, BTW
<Ariel> Setsuna> *casually slides over to Cheryl's table* "...so what's that all about?"
* Dias` takes another drink, his eyes narrowing as he studies her.
<DeathStar> 6* John, Sera, and Kyouki are led into a wooden cabin, and sat at a wooden table. The male alien sits with them as his wife fixes some sort of soup. He begins to ask questions. "Where do you jail from, travlers?"
* Seraphna looks to John, since talking is his department.
* Kyouki searches the alien's mind for the name of a village sufficiently far off to fake, if neccessary
<DeathStar> 6* The alien appears to know of no other villages.
<DeathStar> <John> From many forests from here. 6He begins to weave a magnificent tale of bullshit. And it's apparant, with his charm, the alien is buying it. And why so many woman buy into John
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ever reinvent yourself when you didn't get what you wanted? 6She asks Setsuna.
* Seraphna casually rests against John's side as he talks.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Is something wrong?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Not that I recall. She having a midlife crisis?"
* Dias` sniffs. 1"Are you wearing perfume?"
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "It's not too strong, is it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Broken heart. 6She eyes the bottle, and it's empty. She scowls at Terra to refill it.
<Kyouki> <Terra> *fills it up, occasionally glancing at Hotaru in disbelief*
<DeathStar> <John> My women here --- 6He introduces Kyouki and Sera. "We travel. See many sights. Your village is wonderful. Tell us about it." 6The alien nods, apparantly happy to talk about their village. And so the three are treated to a story too amazing to be told in this episode.
<Xanatos> But she did try to stop him. *he adds after a moment*
<Dias`> Atleast you put on something to cover yourself up. 6He nods his head over at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Dom> What happened when she tried to stop him?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Ah... I hear that can do it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell me, Setsuna. What gets your heart beating faster? 6She asks her, throwing back her beer, and crossing one leg over the other as she sits there.
* Seraphna blinks herself awake near the end of it.
<Xanatos> What do you think happened? She got it too. I couldn't understand for the life of me why she was with him.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "You prefer me to Cheryl, then?"
<DeathStar> <Dom> Did that make you feel she was weak? Being with him?
* Dias` finishes his beer and orders another one. 1"Well you haven't thrown me out of a window, so yeah."
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Is that the only reason?"
<DeathStar> <John> That's amazing. 6He's never missed a beat as the alien talks. <Alien> Yes. We are very blessed. We have water that heals any wound. Appears every 100 years. Blessed the village.
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, leaning forward. "Blessed water?"
<Kyouki> "That's really something."
<DeathStar> <Alien> Yes, yes. We have water now. Blessed year. No one in village sick, so no one needs it. Anyone in your village sick? 6* John stares in silence.
<Xanatos> Before she passed I asked her, why him? She told me that she loved the person he used to be. I asked why not leave him now and her response was that she had no where else to go. I guess maybe her dying was god's way of helping her escape that. But no, I don't think she was weak, I think she was just afraid, you may see that as being weak, but everyone is afraid of something.
* Kyouki does likewise
<Ariel> Setsuna> *ponders over the question a while as she sips her drink* "Honestly, I don't think about it."
<DeathStar> <John> This is a great offer. 6He leans back. Clearly these aliens don't know what they're offering. "Can we see it?" 6The alien nods. "After dinner!" 6And set before them is some foul smelling stew. John ponders that they might need the water after this dinner.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts, sipping her drink.
<DeathStar> <Dom> What are you afraid of, Xanatos?
* Kyouki forces herself to look grateful
<DeathStar> 6* John beams, grabbing a wooden spoon and shoveling the stuff in.
* Kyouki does likewise. If all else fails, there's always the water.
<Dias`> There's no comparison to your beauty Hotaru.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "You mean that?" *smiles*
* Seraphna watches John eat.
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, it's not bad. 6Which is strange, since Kyouki would be thinking this was horrible. John begins to eat it quickly, and even asks for seconds.
* Xanatos shrugs, looking up at the ceiling. "I'm not sure..."
<DeathStar> <Dom> Really? 6He studies Xanatos.
* Kyouki eats, still trying to look grateful, despite the horrid taste
<DeathStar> 6* John gets his seconds, then takes Sera's bowl and eats it, since she's being rude.
* Seraphna blinks, staring at him.
<Kyouki> "You can have mine, if you want.."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "What about you then? Something in particular you look for?"
<DeathStar> 6* John takes it as well, just eating and eating. The alien seems to like him.
<Dias`> Of course I do. 6He slides his hand over and pats her hand.
* Xanatos sighs and looks at Dom, "The one thing I am afraid of...is something that I do often. I'm afraid of failure, but that is what my current situation is...a failure."
<Seraphna> .oO(He's gorging himself...)
<DeathStar> <Dom> Why do you think your situation is a failure?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have everything I need already. 6She notes mysteriously.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks surprised at that* "Really?"
<DeathStar> 6* John finishes and lets loose a hearty laugh, patting the big alien on the back and stumbles out with him to see the water. The wife gives Kyouki and Sera some tea.
* Kyouki drinks the tea. Hopefully this tastes better.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Really. 6She tilts her head, eyeing Dias' hand. "And right now I'm about to have the need to break his hand."
<DeathStar> 6* It does.
<Dias`> So when did you start wearing such...interesting clothes?
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *a little uncomfortably* "... I felt like a change of outfit, that's all..."
<Kyouki> "Thankyou.."
<Dias`> And quite the change too.
<DeathStar> <Female> You are welcome. Blessed may you be. 6She says politely.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "It suits me, doesn't it?"
<Dias`> Spin around so I can see it at every angle.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *does so, amazingly without complaint*
<Xanatos> Come'on, I've really screwed my life up, I attacked a superior officer and a friend just so I could get what I want, I practically forced a marriage upon a woman that detests lying, i'm jobless and did I mention my body was used to murder innocent people? I tried to sacrifice myself for the good of mankind and I couldn't even do that right.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...yeah, she's snapped alright."
* Seraphna drinks the tea slowly.
* Dias` tilts his head as she spins around checking to see how short the skirt goes
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... shouldn't that wait until we're at least dating?"
<Dias`> Dating...sure...
<Kyouki> <Terra> "..." .oO(The hell?)
* Dias` seems to be in a daze from it.
* Seraphna smiles and nods politely to the female.
* Kyouki does similar.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He'll be the thing that snaps if he takes advantage of her. 6She says with a cool smile.
* Dias` suddenly stiffens up, snapping out of it.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Hmmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Dom listens to all this. "Well, lets talk about everything that's led you to this point. Pick a beginning."
* Seraphna looks around the place curiously.
<Seraphna> .oO(Was John acting wierd at all to you?)
<Xanatos> I could pick the war but...well PAX was actually the place where my story really began. Everything before that...wasn't as important.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a humble shack in the woods from a primitive race.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Speak on whatever is important to you.
<Dias`> Uh...Yeah..6He shakes his head. "I...pool...you play pool?
* Kyouki tries to transmit a thought to Sera. <A little..>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sips her beer, watching Dias like a hawk.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "I could learn. I could learn a lot of things.."
<Seraphna> .oO(Don't like that we seperated... damnit...)
* Seraphna keeps smiling politely to the lady.
<Kyouki> <Should we follow him?>
* Seraphna doesn't seem to hear her.
<Kyouki> <Are you hearing this?>
<Seraphna> .oO(Someone should tlak to the lady, I can't.)
<Kyouki> .oO(So much for that idea.)
<DeathStar> 6* John returns a moment later. "Come, my female companions, let us return to our village, to mention the water. I've anaylzed it. It works on one person. So, we should decide on how to use it. In return, I promised them some interesting tools."
<DeathStar> 6* John nudges the man, who pauses awkwardly, then nudges back.
* Kyouki is about to speak as John enters. "Well, that sounds like a good idea."
* Seraphna blinks and stands slowly, walking over to John.
* Kyouki stands up and heads over to John
<DeathStar> 6* John bows to the wife. "Your gabkalish was fabulous." 6He steps out, waving. Then begins to lead them back to their teleport point.
<Xanatos> It was the ideal job. The promise of gaining rank ontop of the promise of meeting so many races and doing so much good. I was Lt. Commander then, and one of my only real friends was Warren Carmicheal, he was the man who helped me get the job. You see, we served for a short time in the war together. I loved that place, the station, the hours...the people. One particular person, Katrina.
* Kyouki follows quietly
<DeathStar> 6* Dom nods, showing no emotion.
<DeathStar> 6* John waits until their out of ear shot as the village waves goodbye. "Cut the translator, Sera."
* Seraphna cuts it.
<Kyouki> "Nice village, shame about the food."
<DeathStar> <John> What? That food was awesome
<Dias`> I'll teach you then. 6He leads her to the pool table and begins setting it up
<Seraphna> .oO(That... gunk was awesome?)
<Kyouki> "... you're serious?"
<DeathStar> <John> Hell yeah. What, you didn't like it?
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *follows, a little uncertainly*
<Seraphna> .oO(He ate it all...)
<Kyouki> "Maybe it's an acquired taste, but... no. I hated it."
* Dias` sets the balls up and moves to the end. 1"I'll break to save the trouble." He hits the cue ball sending the balls apart.
<Kyouki> "The tea was good, though."
<DeathStar> 6* John taps his communicator once they're out of sight. "Alright, beam us up, Myria."
<Xanatos> Katrina and I always would flirt, and after only a week or so, she was the only thing I could think about. She didn't want to start a relationship at first, but eventually we did, and for the first time in a while I was...happy. But, I let paranoia get to me and I accused her of cheating on me...it was a stupid mistake. Shortly after we were sent on a mission to the planet Erevis to enter into peace talks with them.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *teleports them back up*
<Dias`> Alright. It's an open table meaning you can hit a solid or stripe in with the cue ball. 6He hands her the cue stick.
* Dias` moves behind her to watch.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *takes the stick, and attempts to pot one of the balls. Whichever type looks easiest*
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there, then grabs his comm. "Warren, I've just got a holy grail of a prize. You need to get everyone together in the briefing room."
<Dias`> Nice shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, then begins to send a message to the diplomats, as well as his higher ranking officers.
<Xanatos> Katrina was kidnapped and though I tried my hardest, I got there too late. The aliens performed a ritual that placed the essence of their god into Katrina's body. The ritual was interuppted however, which mean Erevis didn
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his cane from the live support machine and hobbles for the briefing room
<Dias`> 6Shiva sighs as she's interupted from her book reading and moves off to the briefing room.
* Seraphna gets the costume off, yawning as she does, heading with John to the briefing room.
<Seraphna> *Elayne shoos a few people out of the birefing room before others arrive.
<DeathStar> 6* John oddly leaves his face in place as he walks for the briefing room.
<Seraphna> *Ceres makes her way to the Briefing Room.
<Xanatos> Katrina was kidnapped and though I tried my hardest, I got there too late. The aliens performed a ritual that placed the essence of their god into Katrina's body. The ritual was interuppted however, which mean Erevis didn't retain all of her godlike power. There was a fight and Erevis finally surrendered. I was distraught...my Katrina was gone, I never even got to say goodbye.
* Kyouki heads to the briefing room too
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis adjusts her uniform, stepping to briefing room. She takes a seat.
* Seraphna looks at John, quirking a brow.
<DeathStar> 6* John wiggles his forehead.
* Seraphna giggles silently
<DeathStar> 6* Dom holds up a hand. "How did it feel to see Erevis using Katrina's body?"
<DeathStar> 6* John walks into the debriefing room, taking a seat.
<Kyouki> "So, how long until we go back down?"
<Dias`> My shot. 6He grabs the cue stick and linds up a shot and hits it, the ball missing and the cue ball stopping in the center of the table, making the next shot kind of hard to hit without leaning over the table.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, that'll be for the Captain to decide. 6* Warren steps in after that's said, glancing at everyone as he takes his head seat.
<Dias`> Hmmm....I must not be drunk enough...
* Seraphna sits next to John, leaning back a little.
<Seraphna> *Elayne takes a seat, cleaning up some papers
<Xanatos> At first I hated her. She took the most important person from me, how could I not hate her? I had honestly planned on just killing her, but after I thought it through I realized that it would be a mistake, I may kill for my country, but i'm not a murderer...*he trails off after saying the last word*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts his cane down and sits there, waiting for everyone to arrive.
<Seraphna> *Ceres walks in and looks around before taking her own seat, "What's all this about? Something happen with the primitives?"
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *giggles a little, leaning over to take her shot*
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<DeathStar> <Dom> So you spared her.
<Dias`> 6Shiva enters the briefing room and takes a seat. "What was so important that you had to interupt my time reading Naughty Hotty Girls?
* Arhn enters the debriefing room...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Shiva. "Blame Commander McCormick."
* Dias` takes advantage of the situation and checks out the nice show.
<Xanatos> I just couldn't bring myself to do it, deep in my heart I knew it would be wrong.
<DeathStar> <Dom> So what did you do with Erevis?
* Seraphna blinks, smiling to Arhn and waving a little
<Arhn> <Cassandra> *arrives...with only one arm...and looking a bit put off*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes advantage of the situation to throw an empty bottle at Dias' head.
* Dias` is nailed in the head then suddenly drops to the floor.
<DeathStar> <John> Jesus Christ, Cass, did your other arm run away?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna takes advantage of the situation to enjoy a drink.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl does so as well, looking completely innocent.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren raises a brow.
<Dias`> <Shiva> I'll be sure to adminster the proper punishment later on. SHe grins at John.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *looks over at Cheryl* <Is this 'pick on Dias' day?>
<Xanatos> She was like a child, she didn't know anything...so I took responsibility of her, I figured that maybe if I kept her around and showed her how humanity is...that maybe I could get Katrina back.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Did you?
* Seraphna catches Shiva's look and blinks, looking to John, she then blushes and looks down, not saying anything!
* Dias` lies there, apparently no longer conscious
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *checks over Dias to see if he's hurt*
<DeathStar> <John> I look forward to it, Ambassador. 6He smiles back at Shiva. "Well, as you all know, I led a team down to the surface. We discovered something. They appear to have a medical cure - in one dose - every 100 years. And it can cure anything. I ran the scanner over it and I'm talking it puts our bacta and healing anointments to shame. The scanner couldn't compute the restortative abilities in that water.
<Arhn> <Cassandra> *doesn't answer as she sits*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren cups his fingers together.
<Xanatos> Did I get Katrina back? No. Unfortunately I ended up losing both. You see, while teaching Erevis I began to grow fond of her, I actually found out that she is actually a very pure soul...but John, our Commander and Katrina's brother, said he found a way to pull Erevis out and get Katrina back. Instead of accepting the fact that Erevis really was the only one in the body, I stood by and let him do it. It didn't work and pulling Erevis <cont>
<Kyouki> "Whatever it is, it's a supercure."
<Xanatos> just put the body into a coma.
<Dias`> <Shiva> Is there anyway to reproduce it?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *casually* "...good shot."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I use to play baseball. 6She notes in the same casual tone
* Dias` besides beiung hit int he head with a beer bottle, he appears to be fine.
* Seraphna blinks and looks at John, staring.
<DeathStar> <John> If we removed the water, we'd lose it's potent abilities. We'd have to use it down there on the planet in it's native area.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Pitcher?"
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "..." *half-glares at Cheryl*
<DeathStar> <Dom> I see. How did that make you feel?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's the only spot worth playing.
<Dias`> <Shiva> So the area has an effect on it...Interesting, makes it difficult to reproduce than.
<DeathStar> <John> I'd say so. But they say they have no need for it. No one's sick. Which means one of us can use it
<Kyouki> "I suppose we could study the area, but... that would take a long time."
<Dias`> <Shiva> And there's only enough for one...
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'd probably spend decades trying to learn how it works. 6He notes soberly.
<Xanatos> Ashamed. I could have stopped him, I could have told him to accept the fact that Katrina is gone...but I was too hopeful...too selfish. What's worse is that Erevis didn't even resist, she was ready to die for me, just so I could be happy.
<DeathStar> 6* Dom nods. "What did you do then?"
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Cheryl... are you TRYING to ruin my relationships?"
<Arhn> If none of them are sick...perhaps the source of this phenonmenon infuses their entire environment?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just weeding out the losers for you, hon.
<DeathStar> <John> From what I gathered, they use to have need for it. IF something's changed, it occurred over the last 100 years.
<Arhn> Worth studying, I think.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Weren't you the one who mentioned him in the first place?"
<Dias`> <Shiva> Well unless our humble Captain with his pain wants to use it... I can't think of anyone else.
* Seraphna looks deep in thought.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A woman can change her mind.
* Dias` leans up suddenly and points his finger at Cheryl. "LOSER?!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> We don't have the resources to leave behind her and spend decades researching the planet. We only got enough to keep us self-sufficent.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Because I have someone and you don't?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Mmmhmm."
<Xanatos> I didn't know what else to do, so I asked my boss at the time and my friend Darien Starr to help me out, which he said he planned to do. But after a while he deemed that goal too dangerous and wouldn't help me any furthur, I quit working for him that day. I searched for anything I could, with the help of my step-brother Kane. Eventually I got a lead and I hunted down this man that apparently knew how I could bring Erevis back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks. "Pardon me? Would you like to run that by me again, Hotaru?" 6She ignores Dias.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Who do we have on the ship that could benefit from a dose?"
* Dias` glances over at Hotaru. 1"Someone?"
<DeathStar> 6* Dom listens, shifting in his seat.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "I don't see you with anyone."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So this means naturally I'm jealous? 6She muses. "Because you clearly have Dias here." 6She considers it, drinking from her bottle of beer.
<Dias`> <Shiva> 6Leans her chin against her hand. "I wonder if it cures retardism.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wonder if it could regrow limbs. 6He glances at Cass.
<Xanatos> I wanted to make things right but the man was smart and the only way that I could bring her back was to attack Darien and gather a sample from him. So...desperate to make things right with Erevis, I attacked Darien with a shuttle.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Seems like it."
<DeathStar> <Dom> So you decided to make things right by her by killing Darien?
<Seraphna> Ceres> "We have a... disabled Captain... a brain damaged ex pilot... what about Chad Winters? Could it fix him up?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "Wow, he sure did a number on your mind, girl. But you know what. Have your fun with Dias." 6* Cheryl throws down some gil to Terra and walks out
* Seraphna keeps her head down.
<Xanatos> Obviously you can tell that I wasn't thinking things through.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses. "Potientially. He's on life support. It could reverse the damage."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Can it actually fix physical maladies?"
<DeathStar> <John> Indeed it can
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *smiles for a little, then pauses*
<Dias`> You're dating someone?! 6He looks at her confused.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *pretends she's not there*
* Seraphna sinks low in her seat.
<Arhn> <Cassandra> So we take him down to the planet and fix him up then?
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "..."
<DeathStar> <John> Sure. We could.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is his injuries the most pressing? 6She speaks up.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Is the terrain okay for moving him? He's on life support..."
<Dias`> <Shiva> Are we sure that Warren would want to lose his dinner table?
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *takes a DEEP breath* "Well... maybe?"
<DeathStar> <Dom> Clearly. But, try to tell me what you thought would happen.
<Seraphna> *Ceres looks to Erevis, "Most... pressing...?"
* Dias` stands up, apparently the beer bottle to the head wasn't as painful as it appeared. 1"Who so I can kick his ass!"
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... you idiot."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Warren, who just cuts his eyes at her. Erevis looks at Sera. "Clearly I am mistaken."
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *smiles a little after she says this, though*
<Dias`> I'm not an idiot...Well now I atleast know you're back to normal!
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Back to normal?"
* Seraphna shakes her head softly.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "I don't know what you mean..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's a big decision. Cassandra. 6He rubs his face. "Do you want a new body?" 6He asks her.
<Dias`> And I don't know what you mean. Is your boyfriend atleast good looking? Cuz I'd hate to see you with some total uggo.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, she loves being ten times stronger than the rest of us. When she has both arms.
<Xanatos> I thought...actually i'm not even sure what I thought. I was so obsessed with bringing Erevis back...that...well. I dunno, after I sit back and think about it, I know now that is was a mistake, and I know that mistakes that I made also led up to the point...I guess that I was thinking that if I brought Erevis back, all my past mistakes would be rectified...
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... I was hoping he was you, idiot."
<DeathStar> <Dom> And now what do you think?
<Dias`> Me?! 6He scratches the back of his head. "I have a rule Hotaru, never buy a new car unless you test drive it first.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... I need a drink..." *looks about ready to cry.. or maybe hit her head on something*
<Kyouki> <Terra> "... not like it'll make things any worse." *gives Hotaru another whiskey*
<Dias`> Woh woh woh there. 6He moves beside her putting his arm around her shoulder. "It's not that I wouldn't date you, I'd totally do you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at everyone as they sit at the table.
* Seraphna stares at the table, appearing to be trying not to be noticed.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "But...?"
<Dias`> <Shiva> We can look at it this way, it doesn't work on him, odd's are he won't survive the trip back. And that's one less person using up resources.
<DeathStar> <John> So cold, Shiva.
<Xanatos> I was being selfish, for all of those mistakes, selfishness was the cause of them. Never once did I ask Erevis what she felt about it, never once did I ask Darien why he wouldn't help. All I did was think about what I want. On top of that, Erevis didn't even want to be brought back. She detests the way she has to live, the disgrace it is to do some of things she has too...
<DeathStar> <John> So, we use the miracle cure on Chad? I mean, really? Warren, you could fucking tap dance with this stuff.
* Kyouki stays quiet
<Dias`> <Shiva> But then he wouldn't be able to get his pain killers so easily.
<DeathStar> <Dom> What is some of the things she has to do?
* Seraphna puts her hand down on the table hard.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Sera
<Dias`> But? Oh you have a nice ass too. Total a 9 out of 10.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Somethin to say, Sera? 6He notes soberly.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Thanks, but that wasn't the question."
* Seraphna signs, "Brother first."
<DeathStar> <John> What is she...doing? 6Eyes the finger movement
* Seraphna looks to Warren.
<Xanatos> She's had to kill, she's had to lie. Before she was put in that body she was free to move about the stars and things like that...she was completely free.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She says Chad. 6He notes. "I agree."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I agree.
<Dias`> There was a question? 6He scratches his head with his free hand, obviously confused.
<Dias`> <Shiva> I can agree to that.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Are you to blame for this? You can't blame yourself for everything, Xanatos.
* Kyouki stays silent for a moment, then speaks. "I can agree too."
<DeathStar> 6* John sits there, then looks at Cass.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Winters is barely alive, the rest here can all get by with thier problems, I agree."
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Is there something wrong with me?"
<Arhn> <Cassandra> Just give the command and I'll do it...once I get myself back in one piece.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "It's the right choice I think..." *she runs her fingers over her cheek, over the black markings on it*
<Xanatos> But I gathered the sample to bring her back...I almost killed Darien...*he lowers his head* But at the last minute...I backed down, I left the sample there like a moron and walked away from that hospital. When Erevis was brought back to the body, by whoever did it, it destroyed and entire hospital. If I had just taken the sample with me, then all of those people...
<DeathStar> <John> Then I concur. 6He speaks up
<Dias`> Hell no. You are one of the finest pieces of artificial created weapons that I have every seen in my life.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Then they would have lived. 6He nods. "But you can't change that now."
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... but I'm just a weapon to you, is that it?"
<Xanatos> So I should just accept that because of my incompatence, so many have died?
<Dias`> Technically so am I, but you're still hot.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "..." *stares at the floor a moment*
<DeathStar> <Dom> Hardly. You should devote your life and your actions to making up for that moment. You're alive. Life is precious. Give to the universe to make it richer. And remember what you've taken. In the end, all we can do is try to even the scales.
* Dias` eyes the floor where she's staring then looks over at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Arhn, and Ariel, then looks at everyone. "The majority has spoken. Get Chad down there and get him patched up."
<Xanatos> Well, funny you should mention that, that is the reason why I am here, I thought that this ship would be the perfect place for me to make up for the mistakes that I have commited in my life. But i've not gotten very far...
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... I guess that's my life. I'm just here to be used..."
<DeathStar> <Dom> Why do you think that is?
<Dias`> There are always two types of people Hotaru, those that use, and those that are used. You just gotta decide when you want to use or be used.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "... is that so...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his cane. "Dismissed."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks out.
<Xanatos> I...well i'm not sure where to start, I thought maybe if I could get back onto the security team I could protect important lives that plan on creating peace ties with other races. But, well I'm afraid to ask Warren for another chance...since i've asked for so many.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands. "Well, I guess I'll talk to Peace about moving the vegetable." 6He salutes and steps out.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Is that the only way you can make lives richer?
* Seraphna moves after John.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, adjusting her uniform. She glances at everyone left in the debriefing room, then walks out.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *eyes Dias seriously* "So, were you planning on using me, then?"
<Xanatos> I'm a soldier, Dom. Being a soldier is the only thing I really know...how else could I be a help?
<DeathStar> <Dom> You can listen to someone in pain. You can be someone's friend.
<Dias`> And get my ass kicked by Cheryl...Hah. 6He takes a swig of his beer a scared look flashing across his face.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "And that's the only reason."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks down the hallway, grabbing his pill bottle and throwing back a pill.
<Seraphna> *Elayne and Ceres start talking
<Dias`> Well, that and I don't know if you can handle a stud like me.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "You really think I couldn't?"
<DeathStar> 6* John steps into the medical bay. "Hey, Doc. Lets get Chad here ready to be moved to a shuttle. We'll have to fly him down the old fashion way."
<Dias`> 6Shiva claps her hands together and moves out of the room.
* Xanatos scratches the back of his head. "What do you mean...how would I do that, most people don't trust me.."
<DeathStar> <Dom> There's 10,000 people on this ship. Do all 10,000 distrust you? Because, if that's the case, you're on the wrong ship.
<Dias`> I never got to see the video of us having sex from Xanatos' trip in the vr room so I don't know.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into his own quarters. He pulls off his military jacket and grabs a bottle of whiskey, pouring himself a glass.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Like Xan would know anything about that."
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "I don't think he even knows what sex is."
<Dias`> Sex? Probably n...6He eyes her.
* Seraphna looks over Chad as he's being prepped.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there as medical teams get Chad prepped for transport.
<Xanatos> I guess you are right...I...i'll try to what I can...i'm just not sure how I could be of help.
<Dias`> 6Chad lies there, helpless to defend himself.
<DeathStar> <Dom> None of us really do. 6He shrugs. "We just try."
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Chad. "I wonder how big he really is."
<Arhn> * Cassandra getting her maintenance finished up in the meantime!
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *looks back curiously*
<Dias`> Stop that. You're scaring me.
<Xanatos> Well I guess I can do that.
* Seraphna smiles softly, looking truely happy.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Answer me one last question and you can go.
<Xanatos> Yes?
<DeathStar> <John> You know. I'm surprised Warren didn't want that water. 6He says finally. He shakes his head. "Don't know if I would have passed up on it if I had to eat pain pills to function."
<DeathStar> <Dom> How do you feel about yourself?
<Xanatos> Myself....*he looks down to the ground* Well...I really hate myself right now.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Scared of me? What's there to be scared of, really?"
* Seraphna turns, then just hugs John tightly.
<DeathStar> <John> Um, is this a girly moment?
* Seraphna nods, crying a little.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Maybe you should try to stop hating yourself a little. You're free to go now.
<DeathStar> <John> Kay.
* Kyouki heads to the transporter room, just in case she's going down herself
<DeathStar> 6* Chad is carted out toward the hanger.
<DeathStar> <John> This is the part where I go fly Chad down.
<Xanatos> I'll try...but it is kinda hard to do right now...*he pulls himself up to his feet and extends his hand* I really needed this, thanks for your help.
<DeathStar> 6* John replaces himself with Peace, then sneaks off.
<DeathStar> <Dom> Stop by anytime. 6He shakes his hand.
<Dias`> You said exactly what I was saying...That freaks me out.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "So now I'm freaky?"
* Seraphna heads out to the hangar with Chad.
<Dias`> I can only hope you are. 6He winks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* John gets into the shuttle, adjusting his make up. He flips a few switches, powering the shuttle up.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *grins a bit*
<Dias`> You should really get out of those before you catch a cold. Infact I could help.
* Seraphna gets in, steadying Chad's bed / stretcher.
<Xanatos> So I don't have anymore appointments? *he pulls his hand back and slides back for the door*
<DeathStar> <Dom> Nope. You're perfectly sane.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Maybe.."
<Dias`> You know always cheers me up?
<DeathStar> <John> Ready? 6He glances back at Sera
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "I have an idea, but tell me."
* Seraphna nods.
* Xanatos nods, "Thanks Dom, if I need someone to talk to, you'll be the first person I come too." he chuckles a bit and turns to open the door then stops before he steps out. Glancing back, "Oh, you should come and have a drink with me every now and then, you could meet some of the people I loosely call friends."
<Dias`> Throwing grapes at Xanatos Durran...What were you thinking of?
<DeathStar> <Dom> I'll be sure to do that.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *innocently* "Oh, nothing. That sounds fun, though. Lets do it."
* Xanatos nods once more and then steps out of the office, turning and moving back towards his room.
<DeathStar> 6* John flies the shuttle out of the hanger, turning and aiming it for the planet. Warren sits in his room, pouring himself another drink. He eyes it, then throws it back
<Dias`> Oh no, I want to hear what you were thinking first.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Too bad."
* Xanatos begins to whistle a light tune as moves along the halls, hands shoved into his pockets.
<Dias`> Then I won't take you with me to throw grapes at Durran. 6He pulls his arm back and crosses his arms.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> "Your loss."
<Dias`> Oh but it's really your loss Hotaru. 6He pulls one of his eyelids down and sticks his tongue out at her then turns and leaves.
<DeathStar> -Time Jump 1 hour Later-
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lands in the hanger. Since word of the Chad miracle recovery has been going around, a small has gathered, including Warren, who smells of whiskey, Zephyr, holding the baby, and Cheryl, who looks mildly bored
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle ramps lowers and John steps out, having ditched the face mask. He looks at everyone sullenly.
<DeathStar> <John> I'm sorry guys. The water had no effect.
* Seraphna hasn't come out of the shuttle, she sits back in it, staring at Chad, her face hopeless.
<Kyouki> <Terra> *stands nearby, quietly nodding there*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks crestfallen
* Xanatos stands towards the back of the group, a frown slides across his face as John gives the news.
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah. Well, Chad, get yourself back into the medical bay. You're still useless.
* Kyouki watches, back to normal by now
* Seraphna stands slowly and sighs softly, wiping tears from her face.
<Dias`> 6A man steps out in a medical gown. "I thought I told you they wouldn't find it funny."
* Seraphna giggles softly, grinning.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's head shoots up. Warren grunts. Cheryl rolls her eyes
<Seraphna> <Well I found it funny.>
<Kyouki> <Terra> *watches, her expression impenetrable*
<DeathStar> <John> Oh come on. You totally had them going.
<DeathStar> <John> I think Warren shed a tear.
* Xanatos smiles, shaking his head.
<Kyouki> "Nice joke."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chad? 6She rushes over to meet him first, staring at his face, as if it were foreign
* Seraphna grins and hugs Chad for teh millionth time.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, leaning near some of the shuttles, watches the happenings.
<Dias`> <Chad> ...I thought I heard a child die...6He turns eyeing everyone that's gathered. His eyes locking onto Zephyr and his child. He then pushes away from Serena before she can hug him and holds his arms out for Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps forward, offering him Aya.
* Seraphna sighs and stands back.
<Kyouki> <Terra> "... lucky." *still seems pained for some reason*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his cane on the hanger floor.
* Dias` he grabs her pulling her in tight with one hand. He then steps forward and puts his other hand around Zephyr, pulling her in close. 1"Thank you Zephyr..."
* Seraphna smiles softly and watches.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks. "Um, well..." 6She seems unable to form words. Cheryl watches with an interested look. Warren just taps his cane. Erevis, strangely, pulls away a bit.
* Xanatos slides over to Erevis' side. "You alright?" He asks in a low tone.
* Ariel watches quietly from the back. She still has mixed feelings on Chad.
* Dias` he glances over to Warren giving him a silent nod.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
* Kyouki eyes Terra a moment
<Dias`> NRP: CHad
* Dias` is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods back. It's hard to tell if he's jealous of Chad or not.
* Seraphna takes a step back then walks down the ramp.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back so she's near Ariel. "Zephyr seems happy." 6She notes, tipping her hat back.
* Xanatos glances at her, "Well you can talk to me if you feel the need, you know where I live." He says with a smirk and a wink to her.
<Kyouki> <Terra> *keeps watching, not showing any traces of jealousy*
<Kyouki> *except to any telepaths that might be around, anyway*
<Chad`Winters> I'm shocked that all of you would gather for me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course I know whe--ah, a joke. 6She nods once. "Human humor."
* Ariel nods slowly, "...I hope that isn't ruined for her again."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I could hit him in the balls if you want.
* Xanatos smiles and pats her shoulder. "That's all I'm good for." He moves his eyes back to Chad.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, we just like to gather. And stare at you. We did that lot.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Cheryl briefly then looks back over at John. "And I'm sure you kept Dias in plenty of trouble.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *hangs at the back, quietly*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ya god damn right he did, pops.
<DeathStar> 6* John laughs, apparantly carefree as ever. "Oh, I'm sure he's found himself some grl."
* Seraphna watches from a distance, she then turns and looks as if to see if there's anything to do on her datapad, hiding her face.
* Ariel speaks absently, "Hold off until he does something to deserve it."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands there beside Chad, clearly happy. Though she seems a bit awkward.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can do. 6She gives Chad a teeth filled smile.
<Chad`Winters> Better than some boy. 6He looks back down at Aya, leaning his head close to her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya grabs his nose.
<Chad`Winters> Ahhh you got daddy's nose! 6He pulls his face back.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches Chad with the baby, then excuses himself, walking out. He grabs his pill bottle from his pocket.
* Xanatos chuckles a bit at Chad playing with Aya. "Never thought I'd see the day..."
* Seraphna has an odd look on her face before moving to her workbench there in the hangar.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, I feel like getting drunk in celebration. 6He nods.
<Chad`Winters> Drinks huh? I'll buy you guys a round.
<DeathStar> <John> I love you already.
<Kyouki> <Terra> "..." *heads off, trying not to look angry*
<Ariel> Setsuna> Praise to the ressurected!
<Chad`Winters> Don't swing that way. 6He pulls Aya in tight again.
<Kyouki> <Terra> "... yeah." *leaves*
<DeathStar> <John> I'm hurt. Follow me to the bar
<Chad`Winters> Hey Zephyr, why not go out with them for me. I need to catch up with Aya.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *heads off to the bar too*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, I'm not really thirsty. But you should catch up with your daughter.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs Dias and drags him out, ranting about the stew he ate.
* Xanatos glances over at the corner and the lonely little dragoon, he glances at Erevis. "I'll be right back." He says with a slight smile before moving towards Sera, he leans against the wall beside her. "You sure don't seem to be that happy."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It seriously tasted like that?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches everyone go. "Well, I guess I should sample the drinks." 6She pats Ariel on the shoulder. "Warren seems perky."
* Seraphna sighs weakly and looks down.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps away from the shuttle, paying Sera little mind as she walks for an exit.
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr, just go, I'm sure you haven't had a single free night since then.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just waves her hand in dismissal, then exits.
* Seraphna taps something on her datapad and angles it at him. "Outside looking in, again."
* Chad`Winters smirks as she leaves then tosses Aya lightly into the air and catches her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, glancing at Chad. She then steps out.
<Chad`Winters> ...Where the hell is my room anyways? 6He looks at Aya inquisitevly
<DeathStar> 6* Aya wiggles.
* Kyouki sighs, watching the proceedings a moment, before following Erevis
* Chad`Winters glances over at Ariel, giving her a familiar look briefly before going back to his child.
* Xanatos lets out a low whistle, "It seems rough..." He brings up his hands and then signs to Sera, "I'm not sure what to say to make you feel better...but I can listen to you speak on your feelings."
* Seraphna blinks up at him in surprise, then signs back, "Don't know either. I could use a friend."
<Chad`Winters> Well, we should atleast goto the medical bay to get checked out...Where ever that is...6He walks down the ramp to the exit, carrying Aya with him
<DeathStar> 6* John reaches the bar, taking a seat. He begins to tell everyone who listens his adventures
* Chad`Winters sits beside him, ordering up 4 beers
<Kyouki> <Terra> *listens quietly, occasionally glancing over at Chad*
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Chad's not there
<Chad`Winters> NRP: That was Dias osrry.
<Kyouki> NRP: Okay ^^;
<Kyouki> <Terra> *just listens quietly, then*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reaches her room, then takes a deep breath, sitting down and grabbing a picture of baby Aya, glancing down at it. "Guess your real family is back." 6She lays on the bed.
* Chad`Winters begins to make his way to the medical bay with Aya.
<DeathStar> <John> So, I was surrounded by 15 space pirates, and they thought I had stolen their power generator.
* Xanatos scratches his chin, making a face as if he is trying to remember, then he signs, "I know that you and I were never best of friends but...well Kane thought highly of you, so I could try to be your friend."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets into his own room, taking a seat with his bottle of whiskey. "At least you don't talk." 6He mutters to the bottle.
<Kyouki> <Terra> "Sounds like quite a story. I wish I could've done something like that.."
<Chad`Winters> You could do the next best thing close to it.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<DeathStar> <John> Life's still young, Terra.
<Kyouki> <Terra> "... yeah, but..."
* Dias points a thumb at himself as he leans back
* Seraphna blushes a little and nods, smiling a bit, she signs, "I'd like that... this is nice."
<DeathStar> <John> .... 6He eyes Dias.
<DeathStar> <John> The boy's gotten direct. 6He notes, shrugging
<Kyouki> <Terra> "Not here with your girlfriend then." *half-smirks at that*
<DeathStar> <John> Girlfriend? 6He glances up
* Dias looks over at John and just shrugs.
<Kyouki> <Terra> "Some dragoon girl."
<DeathStar> <John> What? You're finally dating Zephyr? Man, I'd hit that. So young and fine.... 6Whistles.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *quietly drinks whiskey, trying not to be noticed*
* Dias swings, punching John in his arm.
<DeathStar> <John> OW! WHAT?
<Dias> She's off-limits to you!
<DeathStar> <John> Fine. If you're dating her, I won't touch her. I got standards
<Kyouki> <Terra> "Is he really the type for that, anyway?"
<Dias> I'm not dating anyone. But you should've seen what Hotaru was wearing earlier.
<DeathStar> <John> Wait, if you're not dating Zephyr, why the fuck is she off limits?
* Xanatos crosses his arms then looks around at the hanger, never really getting to be there, then he speaks, "I understand that Chad is the only family that you have left, so it is hard whenever he rejects you...but, well...i'm sure that he cares about you, he might just have a hard time expressing it...or maybe there is even a reason why he doesn't let himself get too close to you..."
<Dias> NRP: She never visted Aya, what a horrible Aunt
<Dias> Because she doesn't need to be sullyied by you.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh. OH! You know what. I think I'm going to visit her right now. Bet she needs some cheering up now that Chad's back.
* Seraphna shakes her head, signing, "He didn't even want me to know about." *she make the sign for a baby*
<DeathStar> 6* John throws down his gil and heads for the exit
<Kyouki> <Terra> "..."
<Xanatos> Really? *he tilts his head* Why not?
<Dias> Like hell you're going to do that. 6He stands up his seat. "I will kick your ass from here to the moons of jupiter if you touch her."
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, right. 6He snorts.
* Seraphna shrugs, "Don't know." She looks away, thinking, then. "So I stayed away."
* Dias grabs his full beer bottle and hurls it at the wall beside John's head.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there, turning his head to eye the wall.
<Kyouki> <Terra> "Hey! Stop that!"
<Xanatos> You never felt that you deserved to at least know why?
<Kyouki> <Terra> *climbs over to try to peacekeep*
<DeathStar> <John> Christ. If you're not dating her, why the hell can't I?
* Seraphna shakes her head weakly.
<Dias> You don't date anyone.
<DeathStar> <John> I go out with girls, thank you
<Dias> You have sex with girls. 6He grabs another beer bottle and takes a swig from it.
<DeathStar> <John> And you don't? 6He shoots back.
* Seraphna signs, "Given up trying. If he does care he'll show it one day."
<Dias> Oh ho ho ho, got me there didn't ya.
<Xanatos> Hmmm, well there just has to be something that you've done to him in the past to make him the way he is....can you think of anything?
* Ashenwolf has joined #taw
* Ashenwolf was kicked by DeathStar (Quit idling)
* Ashenwolf has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <John> Exactly. So, why should Zephyr be any different? 6He asks him
<Dias> She's my friend John, the last thing I want to see is you hurt her. 6He narrows his eyes as he lifts one of his legs and rests it on the booth infront of him.
* Seraphna nods
* Seraphna looks down then signs. "Hurt Zephyr"
<DeathStar> <John> So that's what you think I'd hurt her.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *heads over quietly*
<Xanatos> You hurt Zephyr? How? *he closes his eyes, trying to remember himself*
* Seraphna sighs
<Kyouki> <Terra> "No problems here..."
* Seraphna types this one out since it's faster. "Failed to fight Zera, it nearly killed Zephyr."
<Dias> You wouldn't hurt her on purpose, but she'd get hurt in the end.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods his head, then shoves his back to exit the bar. "Then, if that's what I do, guess you shouldn't hang with me, Dias."
* Xanatos tilts his head, "You failed to fight meaning you lost, or you backed down?"
<DeathStar> 6* John steps out.
* Dias growls angerly and hurls his half full bottle of beer against the floor. 1"I'm done for the night." 6He hops off the stool and begins walking out."
<Seraphna> "Backed down." *she signs*
* Seraphna doesn't look happy, in fact, very ashamed.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *heads out too, wordlessly*
* Arhn has left #taw
<DeathStar> 6* John walks down one street, hands shoved in his pockets, clearly angry.
* Dias steps out of the bar, turning down the opposite way John walked. He punches a sign as he walks by, causing it to ring out.
* Xanatos pulls his head back, "Ahhh, and you are clearly ashamed about it...but why did you back down? You clearly knew what Zera was capable of, were you just afraid of losing."
* Seraphna signs again, "She presented me with something I missed dearly."
<Dias> 6Chad finally steps into the medical bay and looks around.
<Xanatos> What?
<Seraphna> "Loving family."
<Dias> <Chad> Anyone around?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays on his bed with his whiskey and his bottle of pills.
* Xanatos arches a brow, "Loving family? You'll need to elaborate on that one."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the bar after the commotion, clearly having missed it all. She takes a seat.
* Seraphna takes a seat.
<Kyouki> <Hotaru> *ignores both, heading back to her place*
<DeathStar> 6* John pounds on Shiva's door.
* Seraphna types it out since some words don't have signs.
* Xanatos waits patiently.
<Kyouki> <Terra> "Hey."
<Dias> <Shiva> 6Opens the door and looks at John in surprise. "Shouldn't you be at the bar drinking right now?
<Seraphna> "Dragoons Hate Me. Dad dead. Chad hated me."
<DeathStar> <John> Have I hurt you?
<Kyouki> <Terra> *tries not to sound down, and... fails for once*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Does the bartender need some tending to? 6She asks Terra.
<Dias> <Shiva> Well my legs did hurt the next morning that one night...
<DeathStar> <John> Good enough for me. Care for company? I'll cook.
<Xanatos> And you thought Zera would be family? What about Kane, or Spade?
<Kyouki> <Terra> "I'm fine... just..." *trails off a bit*
<Dias> <Shiva> Oooh, cooking huh? What did I ever do to deserve Chef BoyarJohn?
<Seraphna> "I couldn't feel Spade at the time... I was distraught. I lost it."
<Seraphna> "I was weak... all talk and no action."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just?
<Kyouki> <Terra> "Just a bad memory." *smiles a little* "So, what can I get you?"
<DeathStar> <John> For understanding me. 6He closes her door after he walks in
<Dias> 6Shiva grabs John into a hug and holds him. "Whatever happened John...Things will fix themselves...
* Xanatos sighs and tries to think of something nice he could say, "So you betrayed Chad's trust and didn't hold up your end of the deal because you felt alone." He summarizes which makes it sound a bit harsher than he intended, "Well...that is probably why he is distant, he really does hold a grudge...so maybe you should just talk to him about it? Or sign in your case."
<Kyouki> <Terra> "... Janus has changed, but I still can't trust it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "Okay." 6She just carefully gets her drink
* Seraphna nods softly.
<Dias> <Chad>....Guess I have to give myself the physical then...6He moves inside, noting it's eery silence.
<DeathStar> Session Ends

Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070130.log'
<Dias> 6Chad steps further inside, glancing around.
* Xanatos smiles lightly at Sera, "I knwo that i've not been much help, but well, at least i'm trying." He rubs the back of his neck.
* Seraphna hugs him softly, the signs, "Drink? Something?"
* Dias moves into his room, shutting the door behind him. He moves over to his bed and plops down on it, his arms crossing as he stares at the cieling
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Good to see you up and about. How are you feeling?"
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* Chad`Winters quickly turns over to see Peacemaker. 1"Ahh someone does work here..."
* Xanatos pats her on the shoulder, still not keen on the whole hugging thing, "Uh, well sure I guess. I think I missed dinner today, so we could go to the mess hall?"
* Seraphna nods softly, standing up.
* Kyouki has left #TAW
* Kyouki has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kyouki
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "So what brings you here, anyway?"
<Chad`Winters> O
<Chad`Winters> I'm supposed to the ok to not be stuck here.
<Kyouki> NRP: Note to self. Keep aliases from getting mixed up.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "So, a quick checkup, then."
* Xanatos presses off from the wall and turns to move towards the hallway, "So what exactly do you do on this ship?" He asks to make conversation.
<Chad`Winters> You really don't need to even give me a check-up. I feel great.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Is this like Warren with his pills, then?"
<Chad`Winters> His pills? 6He looks at her oddly.
* Seraphna smiles softly and signs, "Chief Engineer. Manage the ship's inner workings and the smaller ships."
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Oh, nothing."
<Xanatos> Oh, sounds like alotta work. I bet you are really busy.
<Chad`Winters> Fair enough. 6He smiles at her. "But you can obvisiouly tell that I'm physicaly fit now.
<Chad`Winters> Look! 6He spins around. "No life support."
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Well... I'd still like to make sure there weren't any side effects."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles
<Chad`Winters> Fine fine fine...6He get's up and moves over to a table and sits down, setting Aya on his knee.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *performs the checkup*
* Seraphna smiles and seems to think, nodding.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad is more than healthy - he's absurdly healthy.
<Xanatos> Well at least you know you are an important crew member of this ship. You should be proud of that.
* Xanatos rounds a corner, moving down the hallway, he slides his hands behind his head as he walks.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Well... I can't find anything at all wrong with you, so you're fine."
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *sounds surprised*
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Healthier than most people on the ship, even."
* Seraphna blushes a little, the company starting to cheer her.
<Chad`Winters> I told you I felt great.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "A shame there wasn't any more."
* Xanatos begins to whistle lightly as he moves down the hall, he glances over at Sera after a moment, "Been working on any new projects?"
* Chad`Winters flexes his free arm. 1"So this means I'm free to go then?"
* Seraphna nods softly.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Of course."
<Chad`Winters> ...Now here's the next question...Do I have a room?
<Chad`Winters> Otherwise I could stay with you for the night.
<Xanatos> Anything ground breaking? *he tilts his head*
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *checks the records*
<DeathStar> 6* No rooms are assigned to Chad. Cept his medical room.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Only the medical room... I'll see if I can get you one assigned."
* Seraphna grins a little and signs, "Maybe."
<Chad`Winters> A shame...I'm sure your room's quite nice.
<Xanatos> Well I'd like to see it sometime. *he says with a nod, before turning to step into the mess hall, he steps over and grabs something that looks tasty, then moves to pay, finally he moves over and takes a seat at an empty table*
* Chad`Winters bounces Aya on his knee as he waits.
* Seraphna points out what she wants, paying for it before joining him.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles.
* Xanatos takes a bite of some of his food, then takes a drink of his juice. "So who did that to you?" He points to Sera's neck.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *comm* "Warren, are there any free rooms available?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't answer. Probably passed out in a drunken stupor.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "..." *tries to check for free rooms on the manifest, or whatever*
* Seraphna typers on her datapad, "One of Aya's kidnappers."
<DeathStar> 6* She would need Warren or John to assign a room. Though, if someone was willing to take on Chad as a roomie, she could just ask them directly.
<Xanatos> Oh, well I didn't have anything to do with it, did I?
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *tries to comm John*
<DeathStar> 6* John's automatic message pops up: Booty Call
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Ugh... it looks like unless someone's willing to take you as a roommate, I'll have to wait."
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Any relatives on board?"
* Seraphna thinks, then shrugs
* Xanatos smirks, "Alright, well I didn't think I did, but I just wanted to make sure. Didn't want something else to feel horrible about."
* Seraphna smiles, it has a very empathetic tone to it.
<Chad`Winters> Call up Zephyr, it'll be best for Aya.
* Xanatos takes another drink of his juice, "So tell me, what do you do for fun?"
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *comms Zephyr*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls over and hits the comm button. "Yes?"
* Seraphna signs, "Watch Movies."
<Xanatos> Oh? What kinda movies?
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Hello Zephyr." *pauses a moment* "How close are you to Chad?"
* Chad`Winters sits on the table playing with Aya, obviously not paying attention to Peacemaker
* Seraphna types out, "Old Sci Fi... mostly"
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "I need to find him a room, since both my superiors are away or asleep, and so, can't assign one.."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls onto her stomach. "So you need him to room with someone." 6She pauses. "Alright."
<Xanatos> Sci fi, really? Wouldn't that be boring...considering we are pretty much living the sci fi life?
* Seraphna shrugs, smiling, signing, "It's more the stories, so many of them are like... fantasy."
<Xanatos> Well I guess I can see where you are coming from...i'm more of an arts type of person though.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "So... is it too awkward having him room with you...?" *sounds very uncertain*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't mind. 6She notes firmly.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Thanks.."
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *to Chad* "I guess you're staying with Zephyr for now."
<Chad`Winters> Perfect...And where is her room?
* Seraphna signs, "Arts?"
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *gives directions*
* Chad`Winters nods to her and get's up, carrying Aya out of the room and down the hallways
<Xanatos> Painting, drawing, writing...those types of things, though with my current brain damage i've seemed to have lost some talent in those areas.
* Seraphna smiles, "I like designing things."
<Xanatos> Well I guess that is kinda similar, except you probably use more formulas that i'd ever need to remember.
* Seraphna giggles silently
* Seraphna signs "Artsy Movies?"
* Chad`Winters stops outside of Zephyr's door and knocks on it
* Xanatos laughs, "No, I don't watch many movies, my philosophy whenever I was younger was that i'd rather my life be as exciting as a movie, instead of just watching them."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens the door almost immediately - probably expecting Chad. She glances at him, then steps aside so he can come in.
* Seraphna hmmms... apparently seeking some activity to do
<Chad`Winters> It seems I'm in debt once again. 6He steps inside.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's nothing. You can use the couch. And Aya's crib is in my room, but I can move it in here if you want.
<Chad`Winters> She'll sleep better in your room with you I believe.
* Xanatos tilts his head, glancing down at his emtpy plate and empty glass. "So anything else you want to do before I head back to my room?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Okay. Do you want to put her to bed?
<Chad`Winters> Is...is it her bed time?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It has gotten rather late. She usually goes to sleep around now. So do I.
<Chad`Winters> Than it's what's best for her. 6He moves into her room and lays aya down in her crib.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya wiggles, fussy that she's being dismissed.
<Chad`Winters> It's alright Aya, I'll be with you all day tomorrow...
* Chad`Winters reaches down, resting his hand against her cheek.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands there, giving them their space. She busies herself with arranging the blanket on the couch
* Chad`Winters steps out a moment later. "Thank you for taking us in."
Session Close: Wed Jan 31 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Wed Jan 31 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, it's nothing. I'm sure Warren will give you a room tomorrow. He's probably just ... busy. Well, good night. 6She moves to step into the bedroom
<Chad`Winters> May I borrow a datapad for the night?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses. "Oh, sure. You can use mine. It's on the table."
<Chad`Winters> Thank you. 6He moves over to the table, picking it up. "Sleep well Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You too, Chad. 6She steps into the room with Aya and closes the door.
* Chad`Winters moves back down to the couch and sits down, the datapad glowing infront of him
<DeathStar> -End Mini-
