<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.6.16
<DeathStar> Location: The PAX -Pre Morning Shift-
<DeathStar> 6* In the Captain's quarters of Cassandra Arakawa, she would wake up to find herself in bed. However, unlike any other morning, this one is quite different - the first thing she would notice is that she's covered in blood, and it's clear it's not her own. And next to her in the bed is the dead body of another officer, with the knife still lodged in his heart, blood coating it - and her hands. And the sheets of the bed.

* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
* Sera has joined #Taw
<Cassandra`> ...what the...? *eyes go wide*
<DeathStar> 6* The stench of death is her only answer.
<DeathStar> 6* It would appear they are both nude. Perhaps they made love?
* Cassandra` moves her hand over...hitting the comm button on the side table.
<DeathStar> 6* John's voice answers. "Good morning, Captain."
<Cassandra`> ...Commander...send a security team to my quarters now...come yourself as well...
<DeathStar> <John> Well, okay. Did you find a camera in there or something?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis meditates in the garden, her hair done up in a ponytail, which is extremely unusual for her. She seems to be sitting there crosslegged.
<Cassandra`> Just get here now!
<DeathStar> <John> Yes sir. 6He ends the comm.
<DeathStar> 6* John turns, having been sitting in his chair on the bridge doing paperwork. "Well, lets go see what the Captain wants."
* Terra takes a quiet drink, having just woken up. "Beer's good in the morning, and this one has body."
* Sera takes a seat in front of Erevis, looking at her inquisitively.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up and points at Kyouki and Setsuna to join him.
<Dias> 6Dias drags his feet tiredly as he walks along the hallway. He yawns, stretching his arms out wide.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *heads over*
<Cassandra`> I need a drink...
* Xanatos is currently in training room 3, punching a punching bag.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Zephyr stand in the simulation room, firing at each other on an icy pond. Zephyr has a grin as she keeps Warren sliding about to avoid shots.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna nods, and heads to Cassandra's room. John gave her an order? Scary.
<DeathStar> 6* John walks along, grabbing a datapad to do scans and whatnot. "I swear, if it's another camera, I'm going to be pissed. And it's not our technology - the security team just got done with the report."
* Dias sits down in the cafeteria, eating his food.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there, apparantly unaware of Sera.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "It's probably something else... though I guess they could have missed one."
* Sera gently pokes Ere's forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' green eyes snap open, and she looks at Sera with confusion
<DeathStar> 6* John stops outside Cassandra's door and knocks once. "Captain?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shoves a gun against Warren's forehead. "Got you." 6She grins. Warren eyes her, then pulls his trigger, breaking the ice under her and sends her into the ice cold water. The simulation ends.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How?! How do you always do that?!
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<Cassandra`> *comm* Before you come in...come in prepared...what you are going to see will be disturbing...it definitely disturbs me...is a security team with you?
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, I have Kyouki and Setsuna with me, and I got a team of sweepers coming up.
* Xanatos steps back and lifts up a towel to wipe away form sweat. He tosses the towel over his shoulder and steps out, moving down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Kyouki with a raised brow, wondering what has disturbed Cassandra.
* Chad`Winters sits in the Rune Research Area, a smaller one on his hand. He grabs a device and begins squeezing it as hard as he can.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *considers that*
<Cassandra`> *comm* Tell them to bring a bodybag and a forensics kit.
<DeathStar> <John> Bodybag...? 6He pauses, then opens the door and steps in, his eyes widening.
* Sera smiles to Ere, tilting her head. <...You've been doing your hair I see.>
<Terra> <Kyouki> *steps in after, eyes going wide* "You didn't...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was in the way.
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs his face, clearly shocked at what he sees. He puts a hand to his stomach, then leans against the doorframe.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *steps in, wondering what the others are doing... then pauses. Looks at the body. Looks at Cass. Looks quickly back at the body*
* Chad`Winters lets his grip go and looks over at the output reading.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *glances at Cass a moment, then back to the body, looking nervous*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren helps Zephyr up then steps out. "You need to work on your footing."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
* Xanatos moves into the mess hall and steps over to get some food, he grabs some breakfast stuff and moves over to sit down and eat.
* Cassandra` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Chad`Winters writes pulls the smaller rune off and sets it down. He then moves his hand over to the red rune and places it on his hand. He then grabs the device again and begins squeezing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ha ha ha. Funny.
* Sera smiles softly, <It looks good!>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Okay.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances up at Xanatos and then finishes his food.
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
<Cassandra`> Commander, given the circumstances, I think it would be prudent to take me into custody until an investigation has been completed. Granted, I have no recollection of what happened since I left the bridge last evening.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh Christ. Christ. None? None at all?
<DeathStar> 6* John begins to pace, rubbing his hands together. His eyes never leaving the body of the young man
* Sera blushes a little, <What are you up to?>
<Terra> <Kyouki> *laughs nervously* "That.. might be good."
* Xanatos glancs up at Dias and arches a brow, before he resumes eating.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am working on shielding my psionic link. In an attempt not to be used in the next battle.
<Cassandra`> None.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods, looking ill. "Right. Custody. We got to prove you're innocent. You are innocent, right?"
<Cassandra`> I certainly hope I am.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh God. Um, well...
* Ariel looks at Cassandra. "You are."
<Ariel> NPR: Ack!
<Terra> <Kyouki> "In any case, whatever happened wasn't Cassandra's fault..."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks at Cassandra. "You are."
<DeathStar> <John> Right. Um. We need to... record the scene.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his datapad.
* Chad`Winters lets go then looks over at the read out, quirking his eyebrow.
<DeathStar> 6* He holds it up, swallowing, his hand trying to stay steady as he films everything.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<Sera> <Good thing to work on... So... how are you...?> *Sera's startingt o regain some color herself, the obvious signs that she's been crying recently however, can be noticed*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am well. And you?
* Xanatos finishes up his meal and stands, moving over to throw away the trash, he moves to step out into the hallway, turning and moving down it.
<DeathStar> 6* John drops his hand after he gets it all recorded. "Setsuna. Um, get the Captain washed up and dressed and down to the brig. I don't want her with the other prisoners. Get her an interview room or something.
* Chad`Winters stands up and moves over to another piece of test equipment. A board with blakc and white strips stands to his side. He pulls his fist back and throws a punch.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Terra> <Kyouki> *quietly reads Cass' mind, despite the rudeness*
<Ari[AWAY]> 6* Setsuna was already in the process of grabing a set of clothes for the captain, and ushering her to the bathroom. She's not going to parade her around the ship like this.
* Chad`Winters pulls the ruin off and then throws another punch. He sets the ruin down and moves over to his terminal and begins processing the data
* Cassandra` goes to clean up.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs Setsuna's arm real quick, leaning in close to her ear. "Stay with her down there."
<Sera> <A little better...>
* Sera looks down, sighing a little
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This has been hard on you.
<Sera> <Yeah...>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits up from his chair and stretches some more before grabbing his plate and putting it away.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sorry for your loss.
<Sera> <Thanks... I...>
<Ari[AWAY]> 6* Setsuna nods to John. She's in no nonense mode.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there as the sweeper teams arrive. He issues orders about the body and whatnot, then grabs Kyouki and steps out into the hallway.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
* Cassandra` steps back out, wearing civies.
<DeathStar> <John> We'll get this cleared up immediately, sir. 6He promises Cassandra, then nods to Setsuna to take her down to the brig.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket and then looks down at it, eyeing it.
<Ari[AWAY]> 6* Setsuna pats Cassandra on the shoulder, "Come on, Cass."
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Cassandra`> Alright. *goes with Setsuna*
<DeathStar> 6* John waits until they're out of sight, then freaks. "I can't do this!"
<DeathStar> 6* He spins to face Kyouki
<Terra> <Kyouki> "I... know how you feel... for once."
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know the first thing about doing a murder investigation. I punch people in the face. That's my speciality
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias taps his face then picks out a name off it and puts his note away. He heads out of the cafeteria and makes his way back to his room.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "If it makes you feel any better, I can't even imagine her doing that..."
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, well, she can't even remember. Which means we have no clues.
* Sera sighs silently, <...I dunno... my feelings are a terrible mess...>
<Terra> <Kyouki> "I don't think it was her, but... yeah, no clues. Unless you want me to probe her mind."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna softens some as she walks, "...you okay?"
<DeathStar> <John> No. We can't do that. No. Stay here and make sure the evidence is bagged. I got an idea. 6He hurries off.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *nods*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is understandable.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl knocks on Ariel's door. She appears to be, once again, favoring her side, and she has a bruise on her jaw.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his datapad as he talks with Zephyr. "Hm. It seems I'm being requested." <Zephyr> Well, I'll see you later. 6* Warren nods, then eyes his datapad. He turns and grabs his cane as he walks out.
* Ariel doesn't answer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans against the door. "Are you really not there, or are you pretending not to be there?"
<Cassandra`> ...no.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna nods slowly, "We'll solve this, you know. We'll find out who did it."
* Xanatos slides to a stop, tilting his head as Setsuna and Cassandra move past him. "Something up?"
<DeathStar> 6* John hits a few buttons on his datapad as he moves for the meeting room, requesting Chad and Hotaru
* Ariel speaks up after a few quiet moments, "...niether."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mind if I come in? 6She asks through the door.
* Chad`Winters spins around as he eyes the symbols on the runes. He then begins accessing the files they took from the ship when his datapad beeps.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *looks to Em* "Looks like I'm needed. Take care of Michiru. I'll see you later." *heads for the meeting room*
<Sera> <Can I ask you something...?>
<Cassandra`> No...nothing...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course.
* Chad`Winters grabs his datapad and looks at it he then stands up grabbing all three of the runes and placing them in their security box.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gives Xan a look, and continues onward. She doesn't want to have to tell anyone.
<Ariel> "...feel free."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides into to his room and begins changing quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets herself in, glancing around the room once she enters.
<Ariel> Em> "Alright. Have fun, Hota."
* Ariel sits quietly in her chair, cradling a datapad in her lap. She looks up at Cheryl as she enters, her expression empty. Longing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down in the chair. "Hey." 6She doesn't bother to offer a smile, but looks sympathetic.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs a box on his way to the meeting room, then steps in and sets it down.
* Xanatos jsut watches them pass, a frown on his face, he scratches his head and moves on down the hallway.
* Ariel nods a little, "Hey.."
<Sera> <How do you feel about Xan...?>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I just thought maybe I'd sit with you for a while.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *heads into the meeting room, sitting down* "What's the problem?"
* Chad`Winters makes his way up to the meeting room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, confusion again. "In what way?"
<DeathStar> 6* John just shakes his head once, then rubs the lower part of his face as he leans back.
* Xanatos pulls his arms behind his head as he walks, whistling lightly, he wanders the halls really, not having anywhere to be.
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna and Cassandra reach the brig.
<Sera> <Just... in general I guess.>
<Cassandra`> Bring me a cup of coffee spiked with bourbon...or something...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of his room wearing his fighter gi. He looks both ways than begins walking down the halls.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> In general, I like him just as I would any crew member.
<DeathStar> 6* John waits for Chad, impatient.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna takes Cass to one of the interview rooms, not about to put her in a cell. They're secure enough, if need be. "Extra stiff?"
* Chad`Winters steps into the meeting room and moves over to a chair sitting down.
* Ariel smiles a little, but it's almost hollow. "Thank you."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "And I can listen, if you decide to talk. You know. About stuff."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps in moments later, raising a brow.
<Cassandra`> Please. *takes a seat*
<DeathStar> <John> We have a situation here. Cassandra was found in her bed with a dead body. I don't have any information yet, since my first instinct was to call you two. 6He nods to Chad and Warren.
<Sera> <So... you don't feel anythign special for him...?>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Special?
* Chad`Winters quirks his eyebrow as he looks at John questiongly
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at him deadpanned.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "... I don't believe it."
<DeathStar> 6* John lets out his breath. "The fact is this is so far out of my field it's not funny. Plus I'm suppose to be interviewing civilian volunteers right now, before we start drafting, and we got 20% more repairs to do. Dangerous repairs. If I focus on this, and we get attacked, we're royally fucked.
<Ariel> "...365. Today."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "Yeah."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna orders one of the 'flunkies' to get Cass' coffee.
<Sera> <You know... like?>
<Terra> <Hotaru> "So... you want us to investigate?"
<DeathStar> <John> So, Warren, I want you to lead this investigation. 6Warren goes to talk, but John holds up his hand, which actually shocks Warren into silence. "And since I can't have a civilian meddling in military affairs, you're going suck it up, and take your rank back. You're going to rejoin the military. And you're going to get our Captain back in her seat on the bridge. Is that clear?"
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms as he leans back in his seat.
<DeathStar> 6* The prison guard nods and moves to get the coffee.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *looks surprised*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren blinks once, actually at a loss for words.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna stands guard... but she's more concerned for their captain, than she is worried she'd try something.
<Chad`Winters> What have you gathered so far?
<DeathStar> 6* John opens up the box with Warren's discarded rank insignia. "Take it. Get a uniform. Chad's your assistant. You two head down to the evidence room, and you start piecing this together."
* Chad`Winters glances over at Warren.
<DeathStar> <John> Hotaru, you're with me. We need to get the volunteers sorted before they riot. They're gathering in the hanger now.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up, looking pale, but holding it together. "Is that all clear?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses. "Aye." 6He takes the box.
* Xanatos stops outside of the hanger and peeks in at the volunteers.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope stands near his ship, eyeing the volunteers with disdain
<Terra> <Hotaru> *nods to John* "Sounds good to me."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias heads down along the hallways, stalking his prey.
<Cassandra`> Why can't I remember a thing...?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Like?
<DeathStar> 6* John steps out, leaving Warren and Chad alone.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, that was unexpected.
<Chad`Winters> The captain murdering a crew member part or you actually being at a loss of words?
<Terra> <Hotaru> *follows John* "In a way, I'm glad I'm not on the investigation team."
<DeathStar> <Warren> John actually being a leader. I fear this is a sign of the end.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops outside the Hanger, glancing inside at all the people.
<DeathStar> <John> Baby, that's for creepy people like those two.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Amnesia. Drugs. Chemical erasure. Hypnosis. Lobotomy. Inhibiters. Could be lots of things..." 6She considers a moment, then takes out her comm, and pages the doctor.
<DeathStar> <John> But God, I feel sick. I hate command.
<Chad`Winters> Oh that...That is kind of disturbing. 6He stands up.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "So, is Creepy Psychic Girl doing investigation?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll meet you in the evidence room.
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, I got her assigned to it.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "Good choice."
* Chad`Winters nods and steps out heading down to the evidence room.
* Xanatos quietly takes a head count of the volunteers.
<DeathStar> 6* 25
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *c* "Setsuna?"
* Xanatos frowns, the turnout could have been much better.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What the hell's going on in here...6He moves inside the Hanger glancing around.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *c* "Grab whatever tools you can carry for neural analysis, and report to the brig."
* Xanatos glances over at Dias. "These are volunteers to join the crew."
* Sera thinks on how to say it, of course she probably picks up her real intent on the question. <Do you... well... love him?>
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *c* "Roger." *does just that*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Looks over at Xanatos. "Boris! What crew?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. I see.
* Terra heads to the volunteer area
<DeathStar> 6* John steps into the hanger, then grabs the list of names of people who signed up
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos and Katrina loved each other.
* Xanatos puts a finger on his chin. "I think these are the volunteers to become pilots. If not...then probably security."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pilots?! Oooh sounds like fun, where do I sign up, Jimmy?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren arrives in the evidence room in uniform. He sits down at the computers, eyeing the data.
* Ariel sighs, putting down the pad. She feels useless. "...what do I do, Cheryl?"
* Chad`Winters steps in behind Warren and looks down at the computers from behind him.
* Terra wanders over to where Dias is, hearing the word "Pilots"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I really don't know, Ariel. I've never been good at expression my emotions. But, I think what you need to do is say...well, goodbye.
* Xanatos motions for him to stand over there with the others. "Over there."
<Sera> <I know... and you... have some of her in you... I think so...>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias spots John then waves Xanatos off and walks over to him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Her feelings no longer influence mine.
* Terra stands with the others, having overheard
<DeathStar> <John> Wow, we got someone called Ernie?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Is there anyone called Dias on there?
<DeathStar> <John> Well, let me see. No. 6He glances up at Dias. "Who's that?"
<Sera> <I see... I ummm... *sigh*>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Only the best up and coming pilot to date. Plus I hear he has a wicked left hook.
* Ariel closes her eyes, "...goodbye...?" She has problems with that idea... she still has hope.
<Terra> "That's bollocks for a start."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not saying we won't find him. But you've...frozen your life for a year, Ariel. You need...to move on. He'd want that
<Cassandra`> Wonder what she'll think when she finds out I'm the subject.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Let me see. The officer who died was Ensign Robert McCullen. He worked in storage.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *arrives, finally*
<Terra> "You think you can beat me at my speciality?"
* Xanatos steps back and glances over at Pope. "You think any of them are actually good?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Death was from a knife wound to the heart. Cassandra's prints on the knife only.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Nope.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes him, then holds out the list to Dias. "Then sign up."
* Terra eyes Pope. "Hey!"
<Chad`Winters> If she was incapacitated it'd be easy to put her prints on it.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Not talking about you, luv.
<Terra> "Fair enough then."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Perhaps. We need Peace to do an autopsy on the man. See if he was drugged, or if he didn't see it coming.
* Xanatos looks over at the group and then at Terra. "Maybe someone might surprise you."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias signs up quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his comm, giving PEace the order.
* Terra signs up straight after Dias
<Chad`Winters> The ship keeps track of the whereabouts of every crewmember, correct?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Terra. "You can't fly! You're always drunk."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. He should have been on duty last night. Bring up the video logs from last night
<Terra> "I can fly better drunk than you can sober, kiddo."
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes the two, then Hotaru
* Chad`Winters moves over to another terminal and begins typing on it, bringing up the video logs from last night.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *eyes her comm* "... sorry. Higher priority orders." *heads to the crimescene*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up a datapad with McCullen's face on it so Chad knows who to look for.
<Chad`Winters> We'll construct how they wound up together and at her room.
* Chad`Winters glances at it and nods, working through the video logs quickly.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "Well, as long as they don't pilot drunk..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's probably like Cheryl, alcohol for blood.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *heads for where the body is now then*
<DeathStar> <John> ...
<Chad`Winters> Who could possibly benefit from this?
<Terra> "... I was drinking for the dead."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Take out the Captain, cripple command. Maybe the hacker didn't like all the attention Cassandra was giving him.
<Terra> "I don't drink like that usually."
<DeathStar> 6* Chad finds the logs.
<DeathStar> 6* John waves Xan over.
* Chad`Winters pauses, trying to remember than nods as it comes back to him. He then brings up the logs.
* Xanatos glances over at John and moves over. "Yeah?"
<DeathStar> <John> I'm promoting you, Xanatos.
<Xanatos> I...really?
<DeathStar> 6* There is McCullen on duty.
<DeathStar> <John> Yep. You're training these nuggets. 6Hands him the chart. "Find me the worthy ones."
<DeathStar> 6* John motions Hotaru to follow him
<DeathStar> 6* And with that he walks off.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *nods and follows*
* Chad`Winters begins moving through the video log, tracking him from camera to camera.
* Xanatos looks down and nods. "Can I get Pope over there ot help me?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> Sorry, you're the trainer, I'm the CAD.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope shrugs helplessly, then walks off.
<Terra> "Sucks for you, I guess."
<Cassandra`> Looks like we're spending time together.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses than looks over at Xanatos. "Wait...He's training?! Oh god....Is this hell?"
<DeathStar> 6* On the video, as his shift is ending, Cassandra Arakawa appears, talking to him.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I can think of better ways to do it."
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *starts the autopsy on the body once she arrives*
<Cassandra`> Oh?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Beach and booze?"
<Terra> "At least the test will be easy."
* Chad`Winters eyes the time and makes a note on his datapad
<DeathStar> <Warren> So, the Captain sees the boy at the end of his shift. See if you track them.
<Sera> <So... got any plans for your next meal?>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Not right now. I am busy training.
* Chad`Winters nods and begins following their directions and accesses the camera logs in the direction they head to.
<DeathStar> 6* They apparantly head back for Cassandra's room.
* Xanatos glances at him walk off and then turns to the volunteers, 27 counting the 2 last minute sign ons. "Alright we'll start this off in just a moment." He glances over to see how many flight sims are in the hanger.
* Ariel stays quiet for a long time. Thinking about it. "...he wasn't even... it's anyone who gets close..."
<DeathStar> 6* Three.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anyone?
<Cassandra`> ...say what?
* Sera smiles,
<Sera> <And after training?>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have no thought that far ahead.
<Chad`Winters> Straight to her room? Odd behavior from a captain.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Odd behavior all around. Why go see him?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rushes through the video feed. No one else goes in and out again until John arrives with Kyouki and Setsuna.
<Xanatos> Alright. We'll start you off of the sims i'll do down the list and pick a name randomly. Any questions? *he looks up and around and everyone*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I rather be on a beech right now, with a stiff drink. What about you?"
<Chad`Winters> That's roughly 5 hours in that room...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Enough time to have sex, kill your lover, then go to sleep. Convenient.
<Sera> <Well... keep in touch kay? I'm gonna go perform some checks...>
<Chad`Winters> Something doesn't add up...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his datapad. "Go down to engineering. Get the scanning equipment ready. I'm going to talk with Cassandra."
* Chad`Winters nods and grabs his datapad heading out and down to engineering
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up, then moves for the brig.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Yawns as he stretches his arms out
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course.
<Terra> "So, how many do you think will make it?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hmmmm? 6He looks over at Terra, blinking.
* Ariel shakes her head. She doesn't clarify.
<Xanatos> I'll take that as a no. *he looks down and calls out three names, 3 random men, they move over to the sims and get inside, then Xan moves over and sets up the program for them.* Alright when I say go the three of you will be places in a randomly generated field where you will be forced to work together to defeat another randomly generated three man squad of various skills. We will be able to see everything so take this serious. And...Go.
<Terra> "Maybe they're desperate, but do you really think they'll let just anyone in?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts. "You can tell me, Ariel."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at Terra than his eyes go wide. "Oh that's right! You're on my list.
<Cassandra`> Yes...sounds nice...
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Xanatos steps back as the sims boot up and the men begin their mission to eleminate the enemy squad. Xan crosses his arms and watches the sims very carefully. So far they are doing decent.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the brig area, getting stares at his Captain rank insigna back on his neck. He steps to the interview and knocks on the door.
<Terra> "... yeah, after the pilot training."
<Ari[AWAY]> 6* Setsuna goes to answer the door, pausing as she sees Warren.
* Chad`Winters moves to throw his challenge pose than stops mid-air as he looks at Terra. "Uh! You can't stop me mid-throw!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Setsuna.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Terra> "You'll get kicked out if you try fighting me while you're still trying for pilot duty."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm here to conduct an interview with Captain Arakawa.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna nods, and steps aside.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands there in mid-pose, a look of dissapointment on his face. "But-"
<Cassandra`> Hello...wish it were better circumstances.
* Chad`Winters steps into engineering and begins gathereing the necessary scanning equipment
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves over and sits down across from Cassandra, the table putting distance between them. "We'll see if we can fix that. I'll be primary in the investigation."
<Terra> "I'll fight you afterwards."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and drops his pose and plops down on his ass, crossign his arms in defiance
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sets down a recorder, but doesn't turn it on yet. "I'm going to go hard on you, Cassandra, but it'll help you in the end. We need to solidfy this case quickly before the civilian sector finds out."
<Cassandra`> I agree.
* Xanatos keeps focused on the sims before him. So far the 3-man squad are showing basic understanding of flying. Xanatos occasionally marks something down on the roster sheet.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods and turns on the recorder. "Captain Warren Carmichael interviewing Captain Cassandra Arakawa in the death of Robert McCullen, Ensign. Arakawa, have you ever met Ensign McCullen before?"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna stays quiet. Not to interupt the interview. She's not leaving the room though.
<Ariel> "...it's nothing."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's certainly not nothing.
<Cassandra`> To my recollection, not on a personal basis. During inspection, but I don't recall him ever standing out.
<DeathStar> <Warren> So you had no personal feelings toward him?
* Sera starts watching over Xan'
* Sera starts watching over Xan's simulation.
<Cassandra`> None. I didn't even know his name.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Are you currently in any relationships with anyone?
* Ariel shakes her head, and looks to Cheryl, "...it's in the past."
<Cassandra`> Currently, I am not. I've been wrestling with protocol issues that discourage fraternization in the ranks.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances over at Serena. "Hey it's the old granny."
* Terra glances over, her eyes still slightly red
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But it's obviously still affecting you. I won't push, hey, I understand not wanting to tell things, but...
* Xanatos nods his head as the three actually worked together well and used team tactics to outsmart the enemey AI. They step out and give each other high fives and the like. Apparently he chose three friends. He frowns and looks down at the paper and then marks something. "Very good." he says looking up. "You three may stand over there and watch the rest." He calls off three more names, again not Terra and Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias than looks over at Terra. "You smell like Cheryl after a night of bingedrinking.
* Sera holds up a blue piece of paper at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. So you would not break this protcol for anyone?
<Terra> "..."
<Chad`Winters> <
<Cassandra`> I have not decided. Dr. Dominick has recommended that I persue a relationship though for my mental and emotional well-being.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Infact...6He sniffs in her direction. "You smell like you just had one less than 30 minutes ago."
<Terra> "Hair of the dog."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna shifts uncomfortably, starting to regret staying in the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods. He has the curtousy not to glance at Setsuna during this. "You say you have no memory after signing off duty last night."
<Terra> "You don't want me flying with a hangover, right? Or fighting you with one."
<Ariel> "...first person I got close to, died because of me. Darien is lost."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks back over at Serena. "Why are you holding that blue piece of paper?
<Cassandra`> The last recollection that I have is leaving the bridge.
<DeathStar> <Warren> On a typical night, what do you do once off duty?
<Terra> "Not colour blind any more?"
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Color blind? What the hell are you talking about?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, Ariel. What happened with Darien is not your fault. Wind was strong and he was powerful, and Darien did his duty to get rid of that son of a bitch. You can't blame yourself. You're not a bad luck charm, Ariel.
<Terra> "... forget it."
* Xanatos watches them start off, when suddenly they begin to argue about who should give the orders, Xanatos looks up and frowns. "Jesus..." he mumbles then steps forward and holds in the button to speak to the three. "You'd best work things out or you're cut." He warns once. Then steps back. He shakes his head with a sigh when they don't listen.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's not my fault she has gray hair.
<Cassandra`> I do a walk around of the ship. Then I get some exercise before dinner. Once I've eaten, shower and then bed. Maybe a holovid before I sleep though.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods. He slides a datapad over. "I want you to watch this and see if it brings back any memories."
* Cassandra` nods and takes the datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* It's the video logs showing her meetnig Robert, and taking him back to her room
<Cassandra`> Hmmm...definitely not my typical behavior pattern.
* Xanatos rubs his temples when they are caught off guard by the enemy AI. The team begins to panic which furthur degrades the situation. Eventually they are all three shot down, getting out of their sims they begin to yell at each other. "Enough!" He says, stepping forward. "Leave this hanger now." He yells to the three, who turn on him and actually get the idea to step forward like they would attack him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I would assume your typical behavior pattern also wouldn't include stabbing a man to death in your own bed.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I want to do a full body scan of all your systems. See if anyone compromised your body.
<Cassandra`> Please do.
* Sera shakes her head.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "I wont hesitate to call security and lock you up in the brig." he warns, and after a moments of thought they finally decide to leave, yelling at each other the entire trip out. Xanatos shakes his head. "Alright I want some results, you'd best learn to work as a team." he warns the remaining people.
<Xanatos> Alright Terra, Dias and Jim Jones. You're up.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> See? She has the shakes already. Definetly a sign of old age.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up. "Lets go."
* Cassandra` stands up as well.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances up at Xanatos. "What?"
<Cassandra`> Lead on.
<Terra> "Hey, we're up."
* Terra heads into the simchamber
* Xanatos motions Dias to a sim.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps past Setsuna, then takes the lead, giving Setsuna and Cass a little room to talk if they want
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ooh, this'll be a fun! 6He hops up running and leaps into a training sim.
* Cassandra` follows after Warren.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna follows after Cass. She's worried, but she's not speaking up on her own.
* Xanatos turns as they are all inside and the sim starts up. The sim chambers go black then after a moment the field loads up. An asteroid field of all things.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias yawns and grabs the controls, flicking all the switches.
<Cassandra`> How could someone pull this off...?
* Terra prepares, flicking all the correct switches and grabbing the controls
<DeathStar> NRP: Lets move you sim losers to #S9Session18SimLosers
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...with a lot or technical and medical knowhow."
<Cassandra`> Only someone..
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into engineering, glancing and nodding to Chad.
* Chad`Winters nods back to Warren and finishes hooking up the last bit
<Cassandra`> Ready here?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. Chad, she's yours. 6He sits down behind the monitors.,
* Chad`Winters motions for her stand inbetweent he scanners.
* Cassandra` moves to stand between the scanners.
* Chad`Winters moves over to a terminal and activates teh scanners.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna watches the scanners.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there, eyeing Cassandra's body on the monitors.
* Cassandra` holds still...
<DeathStar> <Warren> How are you holding up? 6He asks Setsuna quietly.
* Sera has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Chad`Winters begins typing on the datapad, switching the scan to look for any signs of electrical overcharging
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Me? Why do you ask?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gives her a look.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts a bit, taking a breath and letting it out. Never was good at this talk thing, she chides herself.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just shrugs, and goes back to eyeing the monitor.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...WHAT?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nothing.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna just GLARES at Warren.
* Chad`Winters begins scanning for any biological oddities
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't seem to notice.
* Chad`Winters switches over, scanning for any chemicals
* Chad`Winters switches again, running a full scan on her body
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look, Ariel. You got a lot of people in your life that are fine and healthy. I mean, Zephyr, Hotaru, Warren...
<Chad`Winters> What's the last thing you remember Captain?
<Cassandra`> Leaving the bridge.
<Chad`Winters> Be more specific.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *c* "Autopsy complete."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, then takes his comm. and steps out with it
<DeathStar> <Warren> What do have, Doctor? 6He asks into the comm.
* Ariel nods... that's not reassuring. Darien and the other were healthy too.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look. 6She rakes her hand through her hair. "Life is hard. We lose people. But you can't ... just sit here and... let yourself..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You gotta look to who you have, not who yo lost.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *c* "Death through knife to the heart, as expected. No sign of drugs in his system, and he definitely had sex before he died."
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *c* "So, no clues."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. So, it is in your opinion that the victim was taken by surprise then?
<Cassandra`> I was walking out the door to the lift at the end of my shift...next thing I know, I'm in my bed...
* Chad`Winters begins running a scan for an virus's in her systems
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "I'd say so."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Contact Dr. Dominick and have him meet you in the medical bay. 6He turns off his comm and steps back into the engineering room

Session Start: Thu Mar 01 22:02:38 2007
Session Ident: #s9theradicalmindofcass
* Now talking in #s9theradicalmindofcass
* Ariel has joined #s9theradicalmindofcass
* Cassandra` has joined #s9theradicalmindofcass
* Cassandra` as a child...blowing out four candles on a birthday cake...
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna would find herself, like a ghost, next to young Cassandra
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna smiles. So adorable. But she's not going to mess with things yet. She doesn't even bother to stop and question how she's here.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there next to Setsuna, more faded out than even Setsuna. She appears tired already
* Terra has joined #s9theradicalmindofcass
<DeathStar> 6* And, as if on cue, Setsuna can see Cassandra's parents.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at the birthday, clearly trying to process what is going on here. She studies the doll that Cassandra has gotten
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bends over to look at Cass. "She is so small."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...well, she is just a child here."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How does being a child feel like?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna has a soft expression, but she shakes her head. "Damned if I remember. Memory doesn't work so well back then."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waves a ghost hand over Cassandra, but never touches her.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Okay, fine. MY memory doesn't work so well back then."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
<DeathStar> 6* Several other children fade into the memory as it becomes more constructed.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna shrugs.
* Cassandra` is not a little older....wearing a cute little outfit for her first day of school.
<Cassandra`> NRP now
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the outfit blankly.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks to Erevis, "...should I really be here?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am unsure what we are looking for either. Does she have colored things in her hair?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Clips? Well... it's unexpected, but not unusual."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies her, and her expression has softened despite herself. One would almost think she thinks Cass is cute.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Who would have thought the captain was such an adorable kid..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Does one become unadorable when they are an adult?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Well... usually. I wouldn't call Cass 'adorable' these days, but she's definately hot. No one can deny that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is running a fever?
* Cassandra` is now nearly a woman, clad in a black graduation gown with violet tassles.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "No, I ment she's very..." *considers who she's talking to* "Sexually attractive."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *adds flatly* "...and I don't mean to me in particular. You don't need to be attracted to know someone's attractive."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Really? How do you know when someone is attractive?
<DeathStar> 6* She studies everyone dressed the same in this ceremony, like some cult.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "It's... hard to describe."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "It's something you feel, rather than think."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ... see.
* Cassandra` is at a training camp, emotionally dulled now...wearing a newly issued uniform...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Cassandra's face.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna frowns at all... she wonders what happened to Cass between now and then. It's like she's lost something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She has suffered. 6She notes somberly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Family. 6She notes, glancing away.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna nods and hangs her head.
* Cassandra` 's body is suspended in a chemical bath...wires feeding data to machines as her brain functions normalize...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Cassandra - the birth of the person they know today.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna moves closer, though she doesn't touch anything. She can't imagine what this would be like...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks away, remembering what V.I. did to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna and Erevis find themselves on the bridge of the PAX.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is moving to the lift to go off duty for the night. She rides it down.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra steps off the lift and begins to do her walk about. As she walks, someone who's face can't be made out passes her and bumps her arm. Cassandra only looks for a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* As she goes to continue, Cassandra pauses, and gets a dull look in her eyes. She begins to walk, differently than normal, then more like "herself". And she heads to the storage area.
<DeathStar> 6* From there, Cassandra manipulates McCullen, using words and phrases that are clearly not her talking, and she leads him back to her room, and steps inside. Where she proceeds to seduce him, then murder him. Afterwards, Cassandra just "shuts off".
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think we've seen everything. 6She say from behind Setsuna.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...I think so too."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eases them back out of Cassandra's mind.

Session Start: Thu Mar 01 21:04:30 2007
Session Ident: #S9Session18SimLosers
* Now talking in #S9Session18SimLosers
* Chad`Winters has joined #S9Session18SimLosers
* Terra has joined #S9Session18SimLosers
* Xanatos has joined #S9Session18SimLosers
<Xanatos> * An asteroid field is in front of them, and they are required to find 3 enemy ships and shoot them down, however they must act as a team. Begin.
* Terra starts forward into the field confidently. "Hey, you two know how to fly, right?"
* Sera has joined #S9Session18SimLosers
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not a clue. 6He hits the boosters and pulls up.
<Xanatos> * Jim's comm crackles to life. "I had a few years training in the military but quit." He assures them, and to prove so he does a barrel roll.
<Terra> "Nice."
* Terra also does a barrel roll, to show off
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias spins around and comes in behind them twisting his fighter between the two and heads past them
* Sera yawns a little.
* Terra follows, not about to be outdone by some non-flying punk
<Xanatos> <Jim> So who wants to be the squad leader? I don't mind to follow someones lead.
<Terra> "Sure, I'll lead, I guess."
* Chad`Winters eyes his payload as he slows down.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Terra eyes her own payload. "Hmmm.. we'll have to use these bombs wisely."
<Xanatos> <Jim> Great, so I guess we should go ahead in, i'd suggest arrowhead formation so we can keep out front covered. But it is your choice. *he says in a chipper tone*
<Terra> "Sounds good to me."
<Terra> "Hey, Dias, you hear that?"
<Xanatos> * Jim moves in to cover Terra's lower right side.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> HWEEEE!!! 6He begins spirraling
<Terra> "... so much for teamwork."
<Xanatos> * The groups seem to have the standard setup for fighters lasers and missles. Though only a limited number of missles, just like the real thing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls up and loops in behind the two, covering farther back.
* Terra goes enemy-hunting
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias boredly follows behind the two, weaving along the asteroids as he follows
<Xanatos> <Jim> Lead the way. *he says, moving in behind Terra into the asteroid field, he moves in and around the asteroids with definite talent*
<Xanatos> * After they reach the center of the field their scanners begins to go haywire. <Jim> "Enemies coming in from all sides. Orders?"
* Sera has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Terra> "Keep out of direct fire, and try to get out from the middle of them..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And here I thought there were only three...6He pouts and spins his shuttle around drifting backwards towards the other two
<Chad`Winters> NRP: fighter
<Terra> "No wonder the last group went crazy."
* Terra manuevers around, trying to get out of the middle of the attack
<Xanatos> <Jim> Oh god I hope I can keep out of fire. *he says nervously, keeping with Terra. A laser shot comes in from above Terra.*
* Terra swerves to avoid it
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits his boosters, heading towards the direction the laser shot came from since he was further behind the two
* Terra moves around to try to get behind the fighter
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias weaves between two asteroids
<Xanatos> * Dias would not see a ship, but of course with all the asteroids aroung, one could easily hide. Terra on the otherhand will have to take a long away around to get behind that current location.
* Terra just heads towards it then. "..."
<Xanatos> * Jim spins and moves off to the right. "I saw one. I'll take it down." He disappears behind an asteroid.
* Terra weaves between asteroids as she does
<Xanatos> * Dias would get a glimpse of a ship moving away from his right.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks to the side, heading to his right
<Xanatos> * He'll have to do some fancy dodging if he is going to catch up. This gives him a moment to show off his skills.
* Terra glances to the scanner occasionally, seeking out her attacker... or any other enemy ship
<Xanatos> * Suddenly Jim's voice crackles over the comm. "Holy shit I just found them and they've got me on the run, i'm moving towards your location, try to be ready to knock them off of me."
<Terra> "Got it!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits his boosters and begins weaving around the asteroids after his ship
<Xanatos> * Dias begins to close in, seems he is a bit better than his enemy at dodging asteroids.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias spins along an asteroid as he closes in.
<Xanatos> * Terra would see Jim coming in from below. She has the option to work around an asteroid to her left or right to be able to flank the enemy ships. Being as there are two ships on Jim's tail, firing potshots at him.
* Terra works around the left asteroid
<Xanatos> *Dias is now closing in to combat range.
<Xanatos> * Jim blasts strait up, narrowly avoided an asteroid. Terra better get a move on.
* Terra fires on the ships as they come into view
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias launches a missile towards an asteroid by the ship then begins firing his blasters above it
<Xanatos> * The ship obviously moves down to get away from the blaster fire and the missle.
<Xanatos> * Terra clips one of the ships, it begins smoking, however the other notices her and redirects its path to come in at her.
* Terra fires once more, swerving to avoid the new ship
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias locks onto his missile and fires on it with his blasters as the ship heads down towards it.
<Xanatos> * The ships avoids and loops around to come in behind Terra. He begins to fire random potshots to try and freak her out.
<Xanatos> * Dias' tactics works well enough, the explosion damages the enemy fighter some, lowering its manueverability greatly.
* Terra moves to avoid the shots, suddenly dropping down and slowing, attempting to come up behind the ship as it passes
* Chad`Winters locks on and fires another missile
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Terra tries to get a lock on the ship
<Xanatos> * Terra's tactic also has a rewarding affect, she is now behind the enemy ship. Dias's target moves behind an asteroid causing his missle to miss.
* Terra fires her missile the moment she gets a lock, firing lasers until then
* Chad`Winters pulls up and around, heading along the same asteroid but the opposite way
<Xanatos> *Terra's target weaves in and out of the fire and even dodges the missle, this AI is pretty smart. Dias would soon come face to face with his enemy.
* Chad`Winters drops a missile and pulls up.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Terra continues to give chase, firing on it with everything, attempting another lock
<Xanatos> * Dias' target is destroyed. But now he is a decent distance away from the other two.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias taps his screen to get a lock on the other two's beacons.
<Xanatos> * Terra is going to have to come up with something new, he isn't falling for this. Dias would see the other two in fights behind his current location.
* Chad`Winters loops back and hits his boosters, flying inbetween asteroids and around them as he closes the distance
<Terra> "This one's pretty good, but he's not going to get away..."
* Terra tries to herd the ship into a denser part of the asteroid belt
<Xanatos> * She seems to be doing so affectively. <Jim> Hey i'm coming in from above, i'll get yours if you get mine. Whadaya say?
<Terra> "Sounds good."
<Terra> "Just be careful. It's pretty thick around here."
<Xanatos> * Terra would see Jim coming in at an alarming speed, the smoking enemy behind him.
* Terra manuevers to get behind the smoker
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes in from their side and locks on to the one following Jim and begins firing his lasers at it.
* Terra also fires on the smoker, locking on
<Xanatos> *Jim fires a missle at the enemy in front of him, Terra's old enemy, it dodges to the right and he fires laser shots to the right as well, hitting it. Terra and Dias's combined efforts splode the enemy real good.
* Terra heads after the ace, now. No way she's giving up
<Xanatos> *It limps away from the battle.
* Chad`Winters hits his breaks and swings sideways, hitting his booster and heading after the last one.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Terra fires lasers, getting a lock on, and firing a missile once she does
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings in under Terra and boosters past her, firing his missiles at it.
<Xanatos> * The enemy explodes. They succeed. The sims shut down and they are now back in the hanger.
* Terra boosters forwards, not beind left behind
* Chad`Winters has left #S9Session18SimLosers
<DeathStar> I ddin't give him permission to leave!
<Xanatos> he should fail then.
* Chad`Winters has joined #S9Session18SimLosers
<DeathStar> 6* They are back in the hanger.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pumps his fists excitedly. "3 kills baby!"
<Terra> "Just because I'm new to ships with actual weapons..."
* Xanatos looks up at them, nodding his head. "1 kill and 2 shared kills." He notes, "And your kill score isn't the important thing anyway."
<Terra> "We passed, right?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're just sore cuz you're still drunk. 6He looks at Xanatos. "Yeah it is. Cuz if you odn't kill, than you're killed.
<Xanatos> What was important was that you showed a basic understanding of piloting and team work. Your teamwork could use a little tweaking but overall you did good. You pass this portion. *he motions them over to the side, Jim rubs the back of hsi head, grinning proudly*
<Terra> "We all did good."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Basic understanding of piloting?! I'm sorry...What?! Were you even watching my flying skills?!
<Terra> "If that's basic, expert must be incredible."
* Xanatos eyes Dias and Terra. "Fancy ace skills mean nothing when your other two teammates are being attacked. Where were you? Way off alone. What if there was an enemy ambush? What if because of you your teammates were killed?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Atleast someone noticed my flying skills. Thanks Terra!"
* Sera has joined #S9Session18SimLosers
* Sera taps Xan on the shoulder.
<Terra> "Yeah.. we need to work on our teamwork. I know."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You said there were three enemies. Simple as that.
<Terra> "Still, we're ace pilots. That has to count for something."
<Xanatos> In the field of battle enemy numbers are only a guess. This isn't a game, if I am to recommend you, I want to see that you can take this seriously. *he glances at Sera* Yes?
* Sera grins at him a little and motions a little away, obviously willing to wait to talk to him on his own.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans over to Terra. "I think he's just angsty because we're better pilots than him.
<Terra> "Oh, I take it seriously alright. That's why I wasn't playing around doing fancy manuevers instead of actually shooting."
* Terra looks to Dias. "Probably."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So wanna have sex? 6He glances over to her.
* Terra just stares at Dias.
* Xanatos shakes his head, "Alright. 5 minute break." He says, before stepping off to the side with Sera. "Yes?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at her. "What?"
* Sera signs quickly, "...Wanna eat?"
<Xanatos> I'm a little busy here Sera. *he motions to the stuff behind him*
* Sera signs, "After?"
* Xanatos shrugs. "I'll get back to you on that. Alright?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Looks at Xan and Sera then over to Terra. "Is the old granny trying to hit on Xanatos?"
* Sera looks down, then nods softly, she walks away quietly
<Terra> "Basically."
<Terra> "I still can't picture her as a granny, though."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's disgusting, she's like a bajillion years older than he is. Plus...6He places his hand infront of his mouth as he turns to the side. I hear he's retarded."
<Terra> "Seriously? She acts a lot younger than that... and... that sounds right."
* Xanatos pats her on the shoulder and smiles. Then turns back to the others, he calls out 3 more names and resumes the training.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's got gray hair, that's proof enough. Why else do you think I call her granny?
<Terra> "It's blonde."
<DeathStar> 6* The sims, needing to recover after their workout, go into sleep mode, thus breaking the flight training for now.
<Terra> "... what colour is my hair?"
<Chad`Winters> Colour doesn't define beauty my dear.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Terra> "Nice dodge, but it's still a dodge."
* Xanatos makes a face. "Damnit, we still have 18 more to go." He sighs, "Alright this will be down for a bit so we'll have to resume this later."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Terra. "Fiery red."
<Terra> "Correct!"
* Xanatos pulls up his comm, paging John so he can give him a heads up.
<DeathStar> 6* John acknowledges.
<DeathStar> 6* He gives Xanatos an hour off.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> See, I'm not color blind. She has gray hair. Maybe you're just colour blind.
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck and looks to Sera. "Sera, you still hungry?"
<Terra> "What about Cheryl's?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ....What is this? 20 questions?
<Terra> "I just want to check something. I'll stop asking after this one."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Scratches his head, then closes his eyes, thinking.
* Sera smiles and nods to him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Blonde.
* Terra blinks
* Xanatos nods and moves off to go to the mess hall.
<Terra> "I guess it's only Sera that's gray-haired then..?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm sure there are other gray haired people out there. Granny's just the only one I really notice.
* Terra nods. "Yeah, that makes sense."
* Sera follows after him
* Xanatos gets something to eat and moves over to sit down, waiting on Sera.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So I'd appreciate it if you'd start calling her granny from now on.
<Terra> "... she's just a Cran to me."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How can someone hate someone because of a name?
<Terra> "... sometimes it takes a while for wounds to heal."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's just a name tho. I don't understand.
<Terra> "Isn't she some Janus bigwig?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs
* Sera joins him with a rice bowl.
* Xanatos begins eating, glancing up at her. "So what's up?"
* Terra sighs
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I just fight and...well fly now.
* Sera puts her comms on the table so she can eat. "...I wanted to... get to know you better."
<Terra> "I'd rather just fly, to be honest, but I'm not going to run away from a fight."
* Xanatos tilts his head. "What do you need to know?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really?
<Terra> "Really. The stars call to me."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides his legs apart, he begins to throw his hand forward towards Terra
<Terra> "Heh, fine. It's not like we're going to be flying again for a while."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias throws his hand forward, thrusting his finger at Terra. "I CHALLENGE YOU TERRA!"
<Terra> "Fine."
<Terra> "Bring it on."
<DeathStar> NRP: *the song starts up*
<Sera> NRP: *rocks out*
<Terra> NRP: *listens*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and starts walking to the Training room.
* Terra follows
<Sera> "...Anything... tell me a bit about yourself that I don't know..."
* Xanatos rubs his chin. "Uhhhh. Oh hell Sera, I dunno. What exactly don't you know about me?"
<DeathStar> NRP: Do you button, then zip, or zip then button?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the training room and kicks off his shoes and begins hopping from side to side
* Terra steps in after, removing her own shoes, then standing ready
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you're going to fight in that?! 6He begins punching at the air.
<Terra> "Why not?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's...eh.
<Terra> "Fine. Be back in a moment." *heads off to change into something else*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares, actually surprised she left.
<Sera> "...Honestly? Everything, I know you from PAX... but not much else."
<Xanatos> Ok well...it's kinda boring but well...My mother died when I was young. My father...Kane's father...was abusive, so I ran away from home. For most of my life I move from foster home for foster home.
<Sera> "...I see... well, I guess I do know a bit more then I thought..."
* Terra heads back shortly after, in light, comfortable clothes
<Xanatos> Uhh yeah, joined the military and flew in the war, real adventure there. Then I worked with Warren for a year or so before coming to PAX. From then on, you pretty much got be pegged.
<Terra> "This good enough?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Far more revealing. I like it.
<Terra> "... well, okay."
* Terra gets ready to fight again
* Chad`Winters slides into his fighting stance, a low crouch.
* Terra stands ready. "Ready!"
<Sera> "...I see..." *she seems to be searching for something to talk about, obviously eager*
* Chad`Winters kicks off the matt, dashing in towards her low. He leans forward and plants his hand flipping his legs over and somersault kicking down at her
<Chad`Winters> NRP: DIas.
* Terra steps to the side, spinkicking at Dias, as if expecting a move like that
* Xanatos rubs his chin. "Uhhh. What about you? I really don't know anything about you, other than you are well...not human."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides forward from the kick and hops backwards, twisting his body and throwing a roundhouse kick towards her side
* Terra jumps over the kick, kneeing at Dias' face
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias throws his left hand down intercetping her knee. He presses against it and and throws his other hand to punch her in the chest
<Sera> "...I'm mostly human..."
* Terra grabs at the hand, pushing away and kicking herself off Dias
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Well...ok then I really don't know anything about you. So please. Share."
* Terra spins to land on her feet, rushing at Dias now
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is pushed off and he plants his feet sliding back into his low crouch, he holds his hands up waiting
* Terra punches at Dias' face, following up with a roundhouse kick, whether it connects or not
* Chad`Winters twists his head to the side and throws his arms up and grabs onto Terra's leg as it kicks into him. He plants his back foot and twists aiming to slam her into the matt.
* Terra attempts to throw Dias as he does this
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *How...How can she throw me when I'm throwing her in mid air?
<Sera> Sera> "...Where to begin... umm... I was adopted... err..." *looks down a little dumbly*
<Terra> NRP: It was supposed to be BEFORE the throw, but eh
<Xanatos> Yeah, I understand. How was your childhood?
<Sera> Sera> "...Didn't really have one..."
<Xanatos> You didn't? I don't understand.
* Terra spins in mid-air, trying to throw off Dias, but still landing hard on the matt
<Sera> Sera> "Well... I was created as a 12 year old..."
* Chad`Winters stumbles to the side from her.
<Sera> "I was made to believe I was from a colony that was attacked and destroyed by RIdariums, my parents and some lady were the only casualties."
* Terra climbs to her feet, seeming a little winded
* Xanatos frowns. "I see. Your father was Cran, I bet your didn't exactly have a normal teenage life."
<Sera> Sera> "Sure had a strange one, I was the General's daughter, little Lady Cran..."
* Chad`Winters kicks off the mat and into the air. He comes down kicking down at her.
* Terra rushes past Dias, kicking at his back as she does
<Xanatos> Musta been nice though. Private tutors, being catered on. Alot better than anything I've ever known.
<Sera> Sera>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans forward and kicks off, letting her kick air
<Sera> ...Actually... he sent me to academy and finishing school.
* Terra spins to face Dias again, racing at him aiming a kick at his chest, preparing a second for the moment the first connects
<Xanatos> Ah. How was that?
* Chad`Winters lands and turns around to find Terra kicking at him. He throws his hands up to block the kick.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Terra spins, kicking at the side of Dias' head with her other leg as her first comes back to the ground
* Chad`Winters shifts his arm out and throws it up to intercept the one coming infor his head
<Chad`Winters> NRP: BAKA!
<Sera> ...It was interesting... I was always the odd kid... guess I never quite fit in anywhere.
* Xanatos smirks, "For some reason I picture you with classes, huddled up in the library with a stack of books higher than you."
* Terra gets her kick blocked, recovering fast, punching repeatedly at Dias
<Xanatos> NRP: *glasses*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps backwards as he throws his hands up to block the incoming punches
<Sera> ...I only got over them when my Dragoon side came out... the glasses...
* Sera looks away, blushing softly
* Terra keeps punching, then kicks out suddenly at Dias' gut
* Chad`Winters slides back from the kick to his gut, his hand dragging along the mat.
* Xanatos laughs. "So you joined PAX strait out of high school."
* Terra moves forward to kick at Dias' head
<Sera> "..Yeah... all a part of Dad's plot... though I thought he was pushing me to go career military like him... truth is I just wanted to go to Rukters Engineering..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias drops and twists under her kick, punching upwards into the backside of her kneecap
<Xanatos> Then why didn't you?
<Sera> ...I was the loyal, appreciative daughter, saved from the fires of the war.
* Terra has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Xanatos> Ah I understand, I guess. *he rubs the back of his neck*
* Sera smiles softly, "...Good... cuz I don't."
* Alicia has joined #S9Session18SimLosers
* Alicia is now known as Terra
* Terra winces, bringing her injured leg back, and punching out at Dias' head again
* Xanatos laughs. "Well...I dunno..." he pauses, "So what do you do for fun? Watch old Sci Fi movies, right?"
<Sera> "...That and plan out new ships and such... and dream..." *she looks a little distant*
* Chad`Winters rolls to the side, letting her hit the mat.
* Terra spins around, spinkicking at Dias, despite the pain
* Xanatos arches a brow. "Dream, eh? You've got way too much time on your hands."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls along the mat even further and out of range.
* Terra gives chase, limping slightly for a moment
* Chad`Winters rolls into his stance and flips up and backwards, kicking out at Terra as he passes by her
* Terra ducks under, punching at Dias' groin
<Sera> "...Hehe... hardly... 16 hour shifts with lots of breaks... my mind just multitasks a little too well."
* Chad`Winters hits the mat hard, his hands grabbing his crotch.
<Sera> "...It was meant to handle the control of well over a thousand betas... after all... it's bored lately... I keep dreaming of flying again..."
* Terra keeps punching at Dias as he lands
* Chad`Winters plants his hand and flips away, crouching low as he tries to stop the pain
* Terra jumps after, kicking with her good leg
<Terra> "You can always give up.."
* Chad`Winters rolls under her and plants his hands donkey kicking at her backside
<Xanatos> I understand. *he chuckles*
* Terra jumps away from the kick, spinning
* Chad`Winters lands on his feet and kicks backwards.
* Terra catches the leg, and throws Dias
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the mat tumbling
* Terra then rushes forward, punching at Dias while he's recovering
* Chad`Winters plants his hand pushing himself away from Terra as she punches towards the mat.
* Terra plants her hands onto the mat instead, jumping into the air, coming down on Dias with a stomp
* Chad`Winters hops back and throws a hard punch for her gut.
* Sera smiles softly, "So what do you like to do?"
* Terra stumbles a bit, unable to dodge the new punch, holding her gut, glaring at Dias with red eyes
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck. "Well....ummm."
* Chad`Winters leaps forward and moves to throw a kick and pulls it back throwing a punch for her shoulder
* Terra dodges the punch, aiming her own at Dias' gut, then kicking at his groin again
* Chad`Winters keels over from the punch to the gut and clamps his legs together, trapping her foot between his legs. He grabs onto her hand and then throws a hard punch for her side.
* Terra twists to throw Dias. If that means the punch misses, great. Otherwise, she just takes it
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Dias hits the ground rolling.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps in, crossing her arms. She watches the fight
* Terra rushes forwards again, pressing the advantage, kicking at Dias again
* Xanatos frowns. "Well, I guess I could tell you my hobbies. Other than flying I...well I used to write, but i've found that to be very difficult now, and I can still paint. Basically I can do a decent amoutn of things at a mediocre ability level."
* Dias plants his hands shoving himself above the kick, he throws out a quick jab in mid-air towards her face
* Terra ducks below, punching at Dias again
* Dias grunts as he lands.
* Terra kicks out at Dias the moment he lands
* Dias takes the hit and grabs her leg, he twists in and towards it and brings his elbow down to hit her kneecap
* Terra twists to avoid the kneecap hit, barely
* Sera smiles, "You should try watching movies."
* Dias shoves her foot back then leaps in kicking towards her chest again
<Xanatos> Oh i'm much too impatient for that. *he chuckles*
* Terra grabs the leg, pushing it to one side, aiming another punch at Dias' groin
* Dias growls as her fist flies towards his groin again and he pulls his hand down aiming to punch the top of hers hard.
<Sera> "...FOr a movie?"
* Terra moves to avoid the hit, moving away from Dias again, watching
<Dias> I'm getting just a little annoyed with you people always aiming for my crotch.
* Xanatos shrugs. "I used to watch them with Kat...but these days..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's such a big target.
* Dias looks over at Cheryl. 1"Finalyl someone notices the size of my junk."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hopes Terra takes advantage of this.
* Terra kicks out at Dias' head when he's distracted
* Dias stumbles to the side from the kick. 1"HEY I CALL FOUL!
* Sera blushes, "...Watch one with me?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> In fights, you can't let yourself get distracted. 6She looks pleased with herself.
<Dias> I'm always distracted when theirs pretty girls around.
* Terra keeps kicking at Dias, seemingly randomly switching between high and low hits
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
* Dias steps back as he throws his arms and knees up to block the incoming kicks
* Terra suddenly leaps forwards, aiming an especially powerful kick at Dias' chest
* Dias hops up planting his hands on her leg as it slides under her.
* Terra uppercuts at Dias as this happens
* Dias shoves off her leg as she throws the uppercut, moving himself out of it's range.
* Terra spins to face Dias again, rushing forward
* Dias takes a deep breathe, trying to recover his breathe as he waits for Terra to get close
* Xanatos thinks about it. "I dunno Sera..."
* Sera looks reallllly hopeful.
* Terra jumps, trying to land behind Dias and kick at his back
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms.
* Dias kicks backwards out of instict as she leaps over him
* Terra kicks, but is kicked, flying backwards as both kicks connect
* Xanatos sighs. "Maybe one movie. But it's not a date or anything."
* Dias slides away from her then twits around dashing in towards her.
* Terra axe-kicks at Dias as he gets close
* Dias leaps to the side as she kicks and plants his hand twisting his body and kicking at her leg
* Terra backflips, kicking with her other leg as she does
* Dias grunts as he rolls back. He begisn taking deep long breathes
* Terra takes deep breaths too, then coughs up a bit of blood
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Terra? 6She uncrosses her arms.
* Dias quirks his eyes at Terra coughing up blood. "You ok?
<Terra> "Fine! Perfectly fine!"
* Terra recovers, and rushes at Dias again
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. Because spitting up blood is fine.
* Dias turns running away from her.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Peace sedates Cheryly finally* <Cheryl> Bitch.. * falls over*
* Terra chases Dias unless he either stops running, or leaves the arena
* Dias runs up the wall and kicks off it and behind Terra. He plants his foot and dashes in, aiming to shoulder slam her into the wall
* Terra kicks out behind her as Dias lands
<Terra> "I'm just... going to have to get serious..."
* Dias slams his shoulder into her kick and pushes against it.
<Terra> "OVERDRIVE!" *blurs suddenly, sending a flurry of kicks and punches at Dias*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The hell?
* Dias slides back as he's nailed repeatedly by the kicks and punches
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares.
* Terra keeps up the pace for now, rapidly exhausting herself, though
<Sera> *Sera smiles and nods to him
<Xanatos> I'll keep in touch. *he smiles to her and stands up, leaving her to her rice*
* Dias struggles to toss his arms up infront of his body to take most of the blows
* Terra continues slamming into Dias with powerful blows, finishing off with an exceptional uppercut... then faints
<Dias> NRP: Uppercut to....where?
<Terra> NRP: Chin
* Sera grabs his arm gently as he goes to stand.
* Dias 's hand forearms take the uppercut and he flies back, hitting the mat and rolling
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks between the two, then moves to Terra.
* Dias groans in pain as he lies on his back.
* Terra is out cold, and looks injured, but it doesn't look *too* serious...
* Terra isn't getting up any time soon, though
* Xanatos glances down to Sera. "Hmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl picks up Terra, cradling her, and walks over Dias.
* Dias coughs violently as he rolls onto stomach. He begins to weakly push himself up.
<Sera> "...When're you off duty?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back one step and steps on his back.
<DeathStar> 6* Then walks ahead again.
<Xanatos> I'm not sure. I need to finish checking out the volunteers, so who knows. I'll keep in touch, don't worry.
* Dias slams againts the floor and moves his hands into his victory pose. Holding his hands out.
<Sera> "...Kay..."
* Xanatos smiles to her and turns to leave,
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Goooooone
* Dias begins snoring as he lays on the mat.
Session Close: Thu Mar 01 23:49:33 2007

<Terra> <Peacemaker> *c* "Roger." *c to Dom* "Dominick. You are requested in medbay."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick confirms and moves out
* Chad`Winters shuts the scanner off. "I'm coming up with nothing. You're perfectly fine. No signs of virus', biological or chemical effects, or even getting hit with an EMP.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, looking Cassandra over. "Lets go see the doctors now. We need your lost memories."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna scowls. Cass isn't fine. That's obvious. She wonders if Chad knows how to use the equipment.
* Chad`Winters steps away from the machine and glances over at Setsuna scowling.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Setsuna.
<Cassandra`> Let's go then.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, then nods Chad to walk with him. Lest Setsuna hurt him or something.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna ignores the two, and starts to the med bay.
* Chad`Winters turns, heading over and walking beside Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would appear the victim had nothing in his system. He was taken by surprise.
<DeathStar> 6* He tells Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet and moves around, cupping her hands together behind her back. She seems restless.
<Chad`Winters> I ran every possible scan that I could think of and I couldn't find anything at all. No signs of any tampering at all...
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would seem as if someone handed this murder to us on a silver platter.
* Cassandra` sighs...
<Chad`Winters> Quite so.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It insults my intelligence.
* Ariel looks to Cheryl questioningly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't like seeing you sad. 6She says suddenly, turning to face Ariel. "Sitting here all lonely and hurt. I don't like it."
* Chad`Winters looks at Warren than at Cass. "Captain, have you ran a full diagnostics on yourself yet?"
<Ariel> "......."
<Cassandra`> No...not yet. I've been a touch preoccupied.
<Chad`Winters> How long does it take?
* Sera has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I know you lost people close to you, Ariel, but... you can't not.. try again. You can't look at everyone as if you're going to lose them. You gotta...6She struggles for words, clearly out of her element. "You gotta open up again. You might not lose a pilot again."
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive in the medical bay. Dominick pushes up his glasses with a finger.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Captain. And, uh, Captain. 6He notes.
* Chad`Winters steps in with the two
<Cassandra`> I can't do much else while its going on.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then we'll wait. No doubt they're programmed to lie anyway.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We need to retrieve a set of memories from Captain Arakawa. Are there any methods to doing this? 6He asks Dominick and Peacemaker.
* Chad`Winters looks at Warren then nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick pauses, then lets out his breath. "Well, yes..."
* Ariel shakes her head slowly. She's honestly not worried about loosing a 'pilot'... she dreads loosing someone closer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aw hell, can't we just find someone for you to beat up? 6She asks, almost pleadingly.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *eyes the doctor dangerously*
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick doesn't seem to notice. He approaches Cassandra. "The human mind is a very complicated thing, Captain. If it wants not to remember something, it does a lot to ... bury it."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops out of the sim and thrusts his hand in the air. "HOOHAAA!!"
<Cassandra`> I need this information.
* Xanatos looks up at them, marking something on his sheet.
<DeathStar> NRP: Heey, what are you doing i nhere?!
* Terra hops out, grinning a bit, but occasionally eyeing Dias
<DeathStar> NRP: Get back in your room
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "... quite."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> May I speak with Cassandra privately for a moment? 6He glances at them, then motions her into a side room.
* Cassandra` goes with Dominick.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick steps into the room, then closes the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there after they're gone.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren. 1"I don't trust him."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> One of the things you mentioned to me in our sessions, Cassandra, is your fear about your own humanity.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "Mmm.. perhaps."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *worries*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Anyone who likes to get in others' heads is dangerous.
* Chad`Winters looks at Warren than just nods. He glances over at Setsuna. 1"You're awfully worried about the captain."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I know it's not my place to tell you what to do, but... You can't not let yourself... feel again because you're afraid. And that's my speech. Now, if you want to go beat up Chad or something, that I can do
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "Is that really a bad thing?"
<Chad`Winters> Well more so than any typical officer would be.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Cassandra`> Yes...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I know of a new technique, but it will...you have to believe in your own mind for it to work. You have to believe you are more than a machine. Because memories, they are deceptive, but with help, one can learn the truth
<Ariel> "...is that your solution to everything?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pretty much.
<Cassandra`> Let's do it...
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick nods. "Then lay down. I'll get the necessary equipment."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick steps back outside into the main room.
<Chad`Winters> Infact...You weren't even this worried about Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *rolls his eyes*
* Chad`Winters glances at Dominick, watching him carefully through the corner of his eye
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I'll require Erevis. And I'd like you, Peacemaker, to get a drug to ... essentially make Arakawa ... sedated, yet conscious.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, then taps his datapad to get Erevis. He never takes his eyes off Dominick
<Ariel> "...does it work?"
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *nods*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh hell yes.
* Ariel actually seems to consider...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's really quite relaxing.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick pauses. "We should also get someone close to Cassandra. As a guide."
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *looks over to Setsuna*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...what?"
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "You are close to the commander, correct?"
* Chad`Winters raises his eyebrow at Peacemakers comment and looks at Setsuna. 1"Huh...that'd explain everything."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Well... we're friends. Is that good enough?"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> That's fine.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "It should be."
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *nods, as her comment is validated*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the room. Dominick turns to her. "You successfully entered Chad's mind, correct? I'd like for you to do that again."
<Ariel> "...maybe."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick motions Setsuna and ERevis into the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down. "You know, maybe I should get someone who can actually do this talk thing to speak with you.":
* Ariel looks questioningly
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be thinking
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna enters uncertainly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps inside. "Captain."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick motions for Peace to give Cass the shot.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *gives Cass the shot*
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra would immediately feel drunk. Since it went to her head.
<Cassandra`> I need..to sit...
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna quickly moves to steady Cass. That was fast.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis helps her, moving her to the seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, glancing at Chad
* Chad`Winters moves over, leaning against Peacemakers desk. 1"The timing is definetly odd."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Okay. Now, Erevis, I want you to try to go into Cassandra's mind. We're going to work our way through her memories. I also want you to try to link with Setsuna and guide her in. You'll act as the intermediator, Erevis. Now, Cassandra, I want you to focus on my voice.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Cassandra`> Alright...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, putting her hand on Cassandra's head, then one on Setsuna's hand.
<Chad`Winters> I can't think of any conceivable reason as to why do it now with the ship trying to recover.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Delay things.
<DeathStar> NRP: Those lucky mind folks get to enter #s9theradicalmindofcass
<Chad`Winters> Delay the repair? That would mean we're just stranded here longer...No one on this ship could benefit from that.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "So we have a saboteur..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. Delay the search into your hacker.
* Chad`Winters looks up at Warren. 1"If it's true than this hacker is far more dangerous than we originally anticipated."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmm.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "You think he 'hacked' Cassandra, then?"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Okay, Cassandra. The first thing we're going to do is go back to your earliest memory.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She has many mechanical parts.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "I noticed."
<Cassandra`> ...alright...
<Chad`Winters> Her body scan came up negative. So either it happened a while back or he found a different way to knock her out and hack into her memories. I'd say if it happened tho, it would've been done on the elevator.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Perhaps what he put into her dissolved. Nanomachines?
* Chad`Winters glances up at Warren. 1"The body could process those like any thing else...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tilts his head. "Go on."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> What do you see, Cassandra?
<Chad`Winters> If there is anything left of them, it'd be either in her liver, bladder most likely.
<Chad`Winters> Or whatever she uses for that process. I'm not well versed in cyborgs.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren brings up the information on Cassandra's radical body.
<Chad`Winters> If a nanomachine breaks down, it'll obviously leave behind what it's comprised off, which means if they were in her body she'll have an elevated level of that mineral.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Can you find tune a hand scanner to find it?
<Cassandra`> four candles..
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Is it a birthday party?
<Cassandra`> Yes...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Who all is there?
<Cassandra`> Mother...father...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> What did you get for your birthday that year?
<Chad`Winters> ...I can set one to scan for known chemicals that comprise a nanomachine, yeah.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then do it.
<Cassandra`> ...doll...
* Chad`Winters nods and turns, running out of the medbay and down to engineering
<DeathStar> <Dominick> How do you feel, Cassandra?
* Chad`Winters pulls out his datapad as he runs, pulling up all the information he can on nanomachines
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his comm. "Speak with Elayne about nanomachines, too. She has some.:
<Cassandra`> ...happy...
<Chad`Winters> <C> Understood.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Why are you happy, Cass?
<Cassandra`> Family...is together...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Did you have any friends at your party?
<Cassandra`> ...yes...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Good. I want you to...move ahead a little to your first day of school, Cassandra. 6He studies her mind with a datapad, glancing at Peace now and again.
* Chad`Winters types on his datapad, sendign a message to Elayne to meet him in the Engineering bay
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rotates her stiff shoulders, rubbing her jaw. She makes a note to have a talk with Dias again when she sees him next.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *glances over, then back to her datapad*
<DeathStar> <Dominick> How do you feel about your first day of classes?
* Chad`Winters steps into engineer and moves over grabbing a hand held scanner. He moves over to a terminal and hooks it up.
<Sera> *Elayne steps into engineering
<Cassandra`> ...nervous...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Why are you nervous, Cassandra?
* Chad`Winters glances over at Elayne. "Do you have any of your nanomachines on you?"
<Cassandra`> ...first day of school...so many...new people...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Are you afraid of not fitting in?
<Sera> Elayne> "WHat exactly do you need?"
<Chad`Winters> When your nanomachine breaks down, what traces does it leave behind in the body?
<Cassandra`> ...yes...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Did you make any new friends that day?
<Sera> ELayne>
<Sera> ELayne> "THat depends soley on the nanomachine."
<Chad`Winters> Obviously. That's why I narrowed it down to yours.
<Cassandra`> ...yes...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Good. I want you to jump ahead now several years. You are graduating high school now.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> How do you feel?
* Chad`Winters sighs. 1"Let's say you were using a nanomachine to infiltrate a cybernetic body. To mess around with controls and memories
<Cassandra`> Proud.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Who all is there to see you graduate?
<Sera> Elayne> "So... some form of a virus?"
<Chad`Winters> No...Nanomachines. 6He grabs the bridge of his nose and taps his comm. "Why did you want me to talk to Elayne again, Warren?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just grunts.
<Cassandra`> Parents...
* Chad`Winters grumbles over the comm and clicks it off
<DeathStar> <Dominick> What are your plans for the future, Cass?
<Sera> Elayne> "...Chad. A Nanovirus."
<Sera> Elayne> "As in a nanite that delivers a control protocol to a machine."
<Sera> Elayne> "...Is that what you're looking for?"
<Cassandra`> I...I...havne't decided yet...
<Chad`Winters> No, I'm looking for what it will break down into when it's done with.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Okay. I want you to calm down, and move ahead again. The first day you put on an EarthGov military uniform.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> How do you feel?
<Sera> Elayne> "...You do need my help it seems."
<Cassandra`> ...I feel...nothing...
<Sera> Elayne> "All nanites break down when they're done."
<Chad`Winters> Oh for the love of christ....
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Why do you feel nothing, Cassandra?
<Chad`Winters> I know! That's what I keep asking.
<Cassandra`> ...the Ridarium...bastards...destroyed my life...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> How?
* Chad`Winters shakes his head and begins typing on his terminal.
<Sera> *Elayne grins, she's enjoying this.
<Cassandra`> ...attack...on my home colony...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I see. They took your family, and so you joined the military.
<Cassandra`> ...yes...I was ready to...die...
<Chad`Winters> If you wanna play games and put someone's life in jeopardy be my guest Elayne. I on the other hand don't have time for your fucking around.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> But you didn't. I want you to move ahead again, Cassandra. To the day you woke up in your new body.
<Sera> Elayne> "Very well, I'd need to know exactly what happened to figure out teh nanotech, if there was any."
* Chad`Winters grabs his datapad and tosses it at her. He continues typign on his terminal
<Sera> *Elayne carefully looks it over, "So either a remote takeover of her systems... or some form of a mental alteration..."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> What was your first thought, Cassandra?
<Cassandra`> ...feel...stiff... ...drowning...wait...I cna breath...tube...not very comfortable... phantom limb...everything hurts...but dull pain...
<DeathStar> <Dominick> But you are alive.
<Cassandra`> ...I'm alive...my unit...did they make it...it was...bad intel...sent us to die...
* Chad`Winters eyes the data before him, looking at the possible choices.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> It was bad intel. But that's over now, Cassandra. I want you to focus on me for a moment, not the memory. All these events have led you to this moment, Cassandra. From a child who blew out her birthday candles, to the young woman who joined the military, to this moment, all of these are part of who you are - Cassandra Arakawa. You do not have a silicon soul, Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Now, you have to prove your innocence. I want you to flash back to the bridge. When you got off duty last night.
<Chad`Winters> So you just going to continue to muse to yourself or are you going to tell me what I need to know.
<Sera> *ELayne pulls out a disc, "Run these sweeps, if you detect a signature off these, then you have a match."
* Chad`Winters grabs the disc and slides it into his terminal and begins to load the data into his scanner.
* Chad`Winters reaches his hand behind him for his datapad back
<Chad`Winters> Datapad.
<Sera> *ELayne hands it over
<Sera> Elayne> "So you think someone used our tech to attack the Captain?"
* Chad`Winters grabs it, quickly connecting it to his belt. He eyes the data loading. "Your race is known for it's nanotechnology."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick sits there, then glances at Peace. "Get a mixture to help sober her up."
* Chad`Winters grabs the scanner, quickly disconnecting it. He turns running out of engineering. He quickly taps his comm. 1"I'm heading up Warren."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Understood.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *nods to Dom, and gets some*
<Sera> Elayne> "Yeah it is..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back from Cassandra, taking a breath, then looks at Dominick.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Okay, Cassandra. When I count to 5, you'll wake up again. And we'll give you something for the hangover.
<Cassandra`> ...yes...
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna takes deep breaths, keeping her eyes closed.
* Chad`Winters is long gone before Elayne even talks.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves over to Setsuna. "I'll need you to report on what you saw. You're her only evidence."
<Sera> *In the shadows behind where Chad had ben standing, a pair of eyes opening, glowing a little.
* Terra has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Sera> Elayne> "Oh come off the dramatics Lukutus."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick gives Cassandra the shot.
<Sera> *Airier steps out, stretching, "Sorry sis. Don't trust Winters farther then I can throw him."
* Cassandra` groans...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rubs her forehead, looking pale and exhausted.
* Chad`Winters steps into the med bay moving over to Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren crosses his arms, waiting for Setsuna to speak. He nods to Cassandra when Chad enters.
* Chad`Winters moves over to Cassandra, waving the scanner over her.
* Alicia has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Alicia
<Sera> *Elayne heads back up to the diplomatic section, Airier in tow.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I'll... make a formal report. But she encountered someone in the elevator. All of her actions after that were... out of character."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods.
* Chad`Winters glances back to Warren and nods. 1"There's an element in her body that's higher than normal.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Unfortunately, she didn't get a clear look. I doubt it'll get you anything, but you should check the ship's records regardless."
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<DeathStar> <Warren> I understand. 6He glances at Chad, then at her. "Your testimony and Chad's evidence will be enough."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks at Chad* "Evidence?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Cassandra. "We'll find the guy who did this, Captain. But, as far as I'm concerned, you're free to return to duty."
<Chad`Winters> It appears someone used nanomachines to affect her and her actions.
<Cassandra`> Alright...
<Chad`Winters> They broke down which is why the scanners came up with nothing. I had to scan for what they were made off to find them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Will you be okay?
<DeathStar> 6* John walks in, having finished his duties. "So, what's the word?"
<Cassandra`> My head feels like a fog bank...
<Sera> Elayne> "I think it may have been a mistake to share our tech with Humans... if they're using it like this..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Get some rest, then. You..have know someone who's room you can use? Your room is still a crime scene.
<Sera> Airier> "It was your choice Elienhiem..."
<Cassandra`> I'll take my old room...its smaller...but familiar...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods.
<DeathStar> <John> I guess they cleared your name. Congrats, Captain. 6He grins, holding out a hand to her.
<Cassandra`> ...I'm not ready to celebrate yet...but thanks...
<DeathStar> 6* John nods, then drops his hand.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, lets clear our. Give the Captain her space. 6He motions everyone out but Setsuna
* Chad`Winters hands the scanner to John. 1"Make sure this gets to evidence.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick gives Cassandra a nod and steps out himself. Erevis moves out.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks to Cass* "Need a hand?"
<Cassandra`> ...yeah...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Setsuna just once, as if she knows something, then moves on.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<Ari[AWAY]> 6* Setsuna helps Cass up, not noticing Erevis. "...thanks for trusting me."
<Chad`Winters> Nanotechnology...Interesting.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, who had left to give Ariel her space, talks with Erevis for a moment. Erevis glances at her, then nods.
<Cassandra`> LEt's go...
<DeathStar> 6* There's a knock on Ariel's door.
<Ari[AWAY]> "...yes?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is Erevis.
<Ari[AWAY]> 6* Setsuna gives Cass a... completely platonic, hug. And escorts her back to her old room.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Ariel> "Come in.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps in, adjusting her ponytail some as she glances around
* Cassandra` goes with Setsuna...
<Chad`Winters> Just like old times...6He glances at Warren then moves to head out
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks along. "Hmph."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello.
<Ariel> "Erevis... what brings you here?"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna finally speaks up. "You know... Cass. You don't give yourself enough credit."
<Cassandra`> What?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, Cheryl said she thought maybe you'd like some company. That it is not a good day for you. 6She sits down.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<Ariel> "I suppose you could say that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Ariel. "I am sorry for your loss."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "You don't give yourself enough credit. You're a great person. A fine captain. And a better friend than a girl could ask for. Why do you need to beat yourself up so much?"
* Ariel nods slowly.
<Cassandra`> ...gives me something to do.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *just looks thoughtful*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I confess I do not know much about loss.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you need hobbies, girl."
<Ariel> "Prehaps... you are fortunate."
* Cassandra` has left #taw
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I've also never had anything to lose. 6She notes. "I was immortal, and I existed solely for myself. And now, I watch all of you, protecting and fighting for what you believe - for each other - and I realize that while you may lose things important to you, you had something worthwhile. Something important.
<Dias> 6Chad heads down the hallways
* Ariel nods, "Prehaps..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are important to me. I... never had someone risk so much for just me before. Not without them desiring something else from me. But you risked yourself for me - to save me. And I would do the same for you. 6She looks at Ariel.
* Ariel shakes her head quickly, "You're my friend. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't do all I could, when you were in need of aid."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are a good person.
<Dias> 6Chad steps into the observation deck and moves over to a viewport, leaning against it
<Ariel> "I am a person. I do not believe there is any good or bad about it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I disagree. I have watched many people, with many agendas. Using and hurting people. Discarding them. Ignoring them. 6She gets a bit distant. "You are not like that."
* Ariel smiles a little, "Well... I thank you for the vote of confidence."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is a vote?
<Ariel> "...it's a phrase."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ah. 6She glances down.
<Ariel> "Thank you for being supportive."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are my friend. And I've only spoken the truth.
* Ariel nods. Sometimes the truth was important.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there quietly; unlike Cheryl, she doesn't need to blabber every 5 mins or pace.
* Ariel speaks up after a few moments, placing the datapad aside. "Do you have anyone... truely close to you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, playing with a strand of her hair unconsciously. "I have friends. The crew accepts me. It is more than I've had before."
* Ariel nods, "But that's not what I asked."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. I do not.
* Ariel nods again. "Well... some day."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing to that, dropping her hand.
* Ariel smiles softly, "I'm glad you have friends. You're a good person, Erevis. I'm glad you're starting to fit in."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles a bit. "Thank you. Do you ever feel lonely, though, even in a crowd?"
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Goooooone
* Ariel nods. "Sometimes."
<Terra> <Kyouki> *wanders the hallways*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drops off Terra in the med bay
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "What happened here? Another of Dias' fights?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, relaxing a bit.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'fraid so.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back so Peace doesn't sedate her while she's here.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *checks over Terra, eyeing Cheryl a moment*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, lovely seeing you again, Doc. 6She does a little wave and steps out.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "... I'm sure."
* Terra is now known as Kyouki
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, deciding if Peace decides to hunt her down, moves onto the observation deck - the one place no one would look for her. She sits down, touching her side gently.
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* Chad`Winters eyes the Cheryl's reflection in the view port.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances over and sees Chad, then groans. "Great."
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *comms Ariel* "Ariel. I have a request.."
<Chad`Winters> Your still favoring your side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances over as Peace comms Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe I like this side better than the other one.
<Chad`Winters> It's possible, but that's the side I stabbed you in.
* Ariel pauses, then answers the comm. "Request?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe that's why I like it so much. Reminds me of you.
<Chad`Winters> I figured you already had enough reasons to hate me.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Please, could you keep an eye on Cheryl. I'm worried, since she refuses to stay in the medbay long enough for me to check over her injuries."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There's never enough reasons to hate you, Chad.
* Sera steps into the medical bay, looking around.
<Chad`Winters> One being because I share the same genes as Cran, wether it was my choice or not.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *looks amused* "You're not Ariel."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, you're more than lived up to Daddy Cran's name.
<Ariel> "I will... do what I can."
<Chad`Winters> And one could say you've more than lived upto what you were created for.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grins, but it's more baring her teeth. "Oh, that's smooth."
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> No one can escape their pasts or the things they've done.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *comm* "Thankyou... I'd hunt her down, sedate her and check over her, but.. I think she'd do more damage to herself that way than I'd fix... and probably to me, too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is strong-willed. 6She notes of Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lovely. Why don't you write poetry next?
* Chad`Winters leans against the view port, staring out it completely now. 1"Would you hate me less if I did?"
* Sera smiles to Peace
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Depends on if your poetry sucked or not.
<Chad`Winters> You don't strike me as the kind that enjoys poetry, wether it sucked or not.
<Kyouki> <Terra> *is lying there unconcious on a bed*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I might. 6She looks insulted now.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> So you plan on holding a grudge against me for the rest of my life than?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I figure I'll outlive you, so yeah.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Do you want something?"
* Sera nods, taking out her comm, "...Test results?"
<Ari[AWAY]> "Strong willed, is an understatement."
Session Close: Fri Mar 02 00:00:00 2007

<Chad`Winters> Amazing how much you and Warren can have in common at times.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was being ... kind with my word choice.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Ariel> "And it is still an understatement."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is odd. She is concerned for your well being, yet neglects her own.
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *hands Sera the test results* *comm* "Looks like we have another 'strongwilled' individual in the crew... or Dias is brutal in his combat."
* Ariel shakes her head, "That is not so unheard of."
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *doesn't hand over test results then*
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Can't. The DNA machine is still locked."
<Sera> "...Can'
<Sera> "...Can't we get that fixed?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well. *shrugs*
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> "Take it up with Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers if maybe Cheryl got it from Ariel, but doesn't comment on that.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up from his burger. "I sense trouble."
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *comm* "In any case... I have a feeling I should ask someone to stop Dias challenging people for a while."
<Chad`Winters> You spent most of your life regretting what happened that day. I'm no different than you in that aspect, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, but the fact is you keep doing it, Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances around the Burger Joint, as if someone evil was about to pop up
<Kyouki> <Peacemaker> *comm* "Also... if you can find out from Cheryl what happened during that fight, I'd be grateful."
* Chad`Winters lowers his head. 1"I formed that bond to stop Serena and Eve, I broke that bond because Darien. I chose Eve because I didn't want to see Zephyr getting used just so people could get to me...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And she would just cry it off, right? Move on. 6Snorts. "Men."
<Chad`Winters> I'm not proud of it, I've regretted it every day of my life. I never meant to hurt her in the first place. If I knew that forming that bond would lead to my Id having control, I'd never have done it in the first place.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now you're sounding like Serena. Spare me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slowly goes back to his burger.
<Chad`Winters> Except I fought to save you guys while she fought to kill you all.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps up now, moving in dangerously close. "You used her up. I don't care if it was your split personality or whatever the fuck it was - you used her up. That Id thing is a part of you."
* Ariel has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters stands where he is, leaning against the view port. "You don't think that fact gnaws away at myself day in and day out? You don't think everytime I woke up, I had to ask myself if I'd be strong enough to keep my Id from taking control?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "And what do you think it does to Zephyr seeing you every day? She loved you - god knows why - and now you've tainted that. And she has to be reminded of that everytime she sees you.
* Chad`Winters finally turns around, staring Cheryl in the face. 1"...You don't understand love do you?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And I suppose you're the expert.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> You're avoiding the question. Do you even comprehend what love is?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh fuck you. 6She turns around.
<Chad`Winters> I see now. 6He just leans his back against the view port.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And what do you see?
<Chad`Winters> You should take better care of your side if you want to kill me someday. 6He pushes away from the view port and begins walking away.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I said... 6She grabs at his arm. "What do you mean by 'I see now'?"
* Sera taps Warren's shoulder from behind! :E
* Chad`Winters stops glancing down at his arm, then at Cheryl. "Are you the only dragoon incapable of love?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren presses a gun against Sera's forehead, then sighs when he sees who it is
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I love my family. Don't you tell me I don't know what love is.
* Sera smiles at him, not seeming to mind the gun
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holsters it.
* Ariel has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> You sure you're not mistaking love with compassion or a sense of protection that could be mistaken as love?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I love Ariel. I love Zephyr. I love Hotaru.
<Chad`Winters> A person can care for their family, they can devote their entire life to protecting that. But that's not really love, not the same kind that a husband feels for their wife.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts, letting him go* Love is love.
<Chad`Winters> No it's not.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is clearly getting angry now, her right hand balling into a fist. "Oh, is that right?"
* Chad`Winters eyes the fist, then just turns to move away again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, don't you walk away from me, you bastard.
<Sera> "...I need your help."
<DeathStar> <Warren> With what? 6He bites into his burger.
* Chad`Winters keeps walking, not stopping now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws her punch for the back of his head.
* Chad`Winters head snaps forward from the hit, he falls to his knees.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bastard. 6She hisses.
<Sera> "...The DNA machine."
* Chad`Winters pushes himself up, and turns glancing at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Telling me I'm not capable of love. Look at you. You aren't capable of love, either.
<DeathStar> <Warren> What about it?
<Sera> "...I need to run a test, you've locked it out."
<DeathStar> <Warren> What sort of test?
<Chad`Winters> You don't think I loved Zephry? Or Eve? Or even my own daughter Aya?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And look at where your love got all three of them.
<Sera> "...A test on my own DNA. I'm looking for something."
<DeathStar> <Warren> What are you looking for?
* Sera closes out the mic and signs, "Find out whether or not I can get pregnant."
* Chad`Winters looks up at Cheryl, obvious hurting from that comment.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts, rubbing his eyes. "Why the hell would you want to know that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, satisfied now.
<Sera> "...WHy wouldn't I?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> There must be a reason.
<Sera> "...A woman's desire to have a baby?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Spare me.
* Kyouki wanders over towards Ariel and Erevis
<Sera> "...I'm serious here."
<DeathStar> NRP: How..when they are...in Ariel's room?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am, too.
<Sera> "Please?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> When you give me an honest answer.
<Chad`Winters> Happy now? Rubbing it in that Eve was killed?
<Kyouki> NRP: Gah x.x
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I feel a little better, thanks.
* Kyouki just wanders then
<Sera> "...I am, what more do you want from me? FIne..."
* Sera sits down
* Kyouki goes to talk to Ariel after a moment
<Chad`Winters> Apparently speaking ill of the dead isn't beneath you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I can't love. So kicking the dead isn't that much of a step down, is it? 6She turns to walk off.
<Sera> "...Since Michiru came on board... I can't explain it, I've had this incredible urge for a kid of my own."
<DeathStar> <Warren> She's not your kid. 6He notes dryly.
* Sera nods, "...I figured."
<Sera> "...Still want to see this."
* Chad`Winters watches her walk away.
<Sera> "...Dad locked away a lot of things in me, I think he locked that away as well."
<Kyouki> "Ariel, are you busy?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do you have periods?
<Ariel> "What is it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps the hallway, then hits the wall.
<Kyouki> "I just wanted to talk to you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up as she hears Kyouki's voice.
* Sera shakes her head. "Wouldn't be the first odd change in my body through unlocking."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sucks his teeth. "And if you can't?"
<Sera> "...THat'd suck, but I'd rather know then sit around wondering."
<Sera> "...I'm tired of not knowing."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren writes down the password on a napkin, then hands it over.
<Kyouki> "If you're busy, that's fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans against the hallway wall
* Sera takes it, nodding, remembering his aversion to her usual hugging. "...Thank you sir."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Begone. My burger needs me.
<Ariel> "Prehaps another time... I'm growing rather weary."
<Kyouki> "Very well." *heads off*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I shall let you rest. 6She rises and says her goodbye.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to head for the civilian quarter to get booze.
* Sera nods and heads back to medical
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl passes Sera, and one could sense the cloud of anger that floats around above her.
* Sera walks past her, giving her a nod, but otherwise unphased bya realtively normal Cheryl

<DeathStar> 6* And so, our story begins with young Dias..
* Chad`Winters steps out of his room wearing his fighting gi, once again.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Dias claps his hands together eagerly as he looks down both hallways
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in the cafeteria, going over some reports since she's not on duty.
<Dias> Computer...Where's Erevis?!
<DeathStar> Computer: Erevis is located in the cafeteria on Deck 15.
<Dias> Excellent....6He begins running to the cafeteria
<DeathStar> 6* Various crew members dive aside as Dias runs by like a maniac.
* Dias slides around a corner, slipping and slamming into the wall.
<DeathStar> Computer: Please refrain from hitting my insides.
<Dias> SORRY! 6He gets up than looks up at the cieling. "Wait...what?!"
<DeathStar> Computer: *silence*
* Dias continues on his run towards the cafeteria.
<DeathStar> 6* The Computer watches him.
* Dias slides behind two people and hops back up, running again.
<DeathStar> 6* The two people watch Dias, and wonder where his parents are.
* Dias runs into the cafeteria finally and slides to a stop, looking around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is not there.
* Dias spins around, looking frantically.
<DeathStar> 6* People in the cafeteria stare.
<Dias> Computer, where did Erevis go?!
<DeathStar> Computer: Erevis is in hallway 43, Section D, on Deck 15
<Dias> Computer, which way from here?
<DeathStar> Computer: *gives a series of directions in a tone that indicates that it doubts someone of Dias' mentality could even comprehend it*
<Dias> THANKS! 6He turns, running out of the cafeteria and heading towards Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along the hallway, her hair back in it's normal, very long style. She seems to be reading info on her datapad.
* Dias runs up behind Erevis. "EREVIS!!!!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then turns to face Dias.
* Dias comes to a stop, then begins sliding into his challenge pose.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. 6She turns and begins to move onward.
<Dias> HEY!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps walking.
* Dias moves infront of her, walking backwards. 1"COME ON! I wanna get stronger!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not interested in fighting.
<Dias> Don't think of it as a fight. Think it as...Working to become a better person.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops, staring at him now. "How so?"
* Dias stops. 1"Look, I wanna protect people, but to do that, I need to become a better fighter. You can help me do that by aceepting my challenge and facing me in a figh...err...duel."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not see how fighting me will make you a better fighter.
<Dias> Well you're considered a high ranking martial artist on this ship. If I fight against people weaker than me I can't gain anything out of it except my own personal satisfaction.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My strength will not make you a better fighter.
* Dias scratches his head, obviously thinking hard. 1"But...by challenging me to fight someone better than me, you force me to become better so I can overcome that obstacle."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just stares.
<Dias> Please?! 6He gives her his beggers face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to fight someone strong, fight John McCormick. 6She goes to step forward.
<Dias> I can't yet...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why not?
<Dias> Because he can beat me, he already has...6He looks down at the floor. "I can't face him until I'm sure I can beat him...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did you not say you wished t ofgiht people stronger than you to become stronger?
<Dias> I do and I will face him eventually...It's about my pride with him...When I face him, I wanna know I can beat him, I have to beat him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
<Dias> Pride.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him. "You are a better fighter than I am." 6She notes.
<Dias> Honor...I don't know, I just have this feeling.
<Dias> How do I really know that? Because you say that? You just don't want to fight me and you'll say anything to get me to go away. 6He crosses his arms.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not lie. 6She notes, a sharpness in her tone. "My skills are an imitation of Katrina's, which in turn are a variation of John's."
<Dias> Really?! Perfect than. Fighting you will be like a training run against John!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Very well.
<Dias> Really?!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I said 'Very well', did I not?
<Dias> YES! 6He pumps his fist than quickly slides into his challenge pose and throws his hand towards Erevis, pointing at you. 1"I challenge you Erevis! "
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... did we not establish we were going to fight?
<Dias> Yeah, but it wouldn't be official unless I did this.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
<Dias> It's part of the rules. To challenge someone you gotta do it cool.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I will remember that.
<Dias> To the training room! 6He turns, running towards it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis calmly walks after him.
* Dias runs into the training room and onto the mat, coming to a stop. He spins around and begins punching the air then throws a kick
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps walking.
* Dias begins rolling around the mat as he waits
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finally walks into the training room, then begins to unbutton her military vest. She pulls it off, wearing an undershirt. She then pulls off her boots.
* Dias hops and looks at Erevis, staring as she undresses.
<DeathStar> 6* Finished, she moves over, staring blankly at Dias, apparantly unaware of why he is staring. "Are you ready?"
* Dias rubs his face. 1"I...I..yeah."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is there a problem? D
<DeathStar> NRP: No D
<Dias> You...You sure you want to wear your pants, you might get...get my blood on them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers, glancing down.
* Dias stands there staring, rubbing his hands together eagerly
* Sera sits back, yawning as she takes a rest after a bit of trianing. Silent as ever.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not think that will be a problem. 6She decides after a moment.
* Dias snaps his fingers in defeat. 1"Oh...well dont' be mad at me if you get blood on them."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
<Dias> Are you ready?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Dias slides into his low crouch stance then stands up again. "Hold it, I've got one rule."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes? 6She tilts her head.
* Sera looks over at Dias and Ere
<Dias> Whatever you do, don't punch, kick, knee, slap, backhand, elbow, uppercut, headbutt, or anything that can cause pain to my crotch.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Very well.
<Dias> Good. 6He slides back down into his low crouch and waits.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't budge an inch
* Dias stares at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares back.
* Dias dashes in low towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits.
* Dias leaps forward, slide tackling towards her. He plants his hand at the last second and kicks upwards.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps backwards and leans back.
* Dias twists his body around and plants his other hand and begins backkicking towards her as he walks on his hands
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just keeps walking backwards. One would think she wasn't sure how to approach this whack job.
* Dias shoves off the mat and flips around, throwing a wide right hook.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dodges by moving half-a meter to the right. She then throws her own punch, going for a nerve cluster in his right shoulder.
* Dias twists from the hit and throws out a kick towards her side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the side, stepping along with it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl broods darkly in a bar.
* Dias moves to throw a right jab then stops, looking down at it. "HEY! What the hell happened to my arm?!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I disabled it.
<Dias> I call foul!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Foul?
<Dias> Foul play!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is a fight, is it not?
<Dias> Well yeah...but I didn't think you could do something like that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that not the point of fighting people?
<Dias> But I didn't know you could disable a person by hitting them in the right spot...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. You should speak with Chad Winters if you desire more knowledge on how.
<Dias> Oh....6He snaps his leg out, aiming to nail the side of her left knee cap
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit, twisting a bit as she goes down.
* Dias drops as she goes down and throws a punch for her chest
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the chest and rolls back, coming to a stop.
* Dias rolls along his back and quickly pushes himself up with his left hand. He turns and dashes forward towards Erevis. He leaps up and kicks downwards at her.
<DeathStar> 6* She's hit again. Grunting in obvious pain she doesn't bother to hide, Erevis smashes her hand into his leg to make him drop.
* Dias drops to that knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rolls away, putting her back to him as she kneels there, hunched over. Her breathing is more drawn out now.
* Dias pushes himself up, stretching his left leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up and turns to face him. And anger is clear on her face. For an instant, it would seem as if she would just crush him like a bug with her mind.
* Dias stands there, staring at his leg as bends it at the knee.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You would attack after stopping to talk. Disgraceful.
* Dias looks up at Erevis. 1"Cheryl told me that distractions are acceptable in a fight."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is dishonorable to start a fight and then use cheap means to win.
<Dias> It is?!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you must resort to such methods, then you have no place challenging others. 6She turns to go.
<Dias> I thought it was ok to do it! I'm sorry!
<Dias> I promise I won't do it again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then eyes him. "Very well."
* Dias tries moving his right arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves her body, clearly favoring her left knee now. She seems to be preparing something
* Dias growls at his own arm and then looks over at Erevis again as he slides into his low crouch
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him.
* Dias dashes in towards her hoping from several feet from side to side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits.
* Dias lands infront of her right side then kicks off, throwing a roundhouse kick towards her side
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps in closer, hoping to make the kick useless. And then, suddenly, she pulls off John's thousand punches, right at close range, and right for his gut.
* Dias hangs there as each punch connects
* Sera continues to watch.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grunts as she keeps punching
<DeathStar> 6* And with her final punch, Erevis slams into his head.
* Dias 's head snaps back from the hit and he bounces along the mat, rolling to a stop away from her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, taking deep breaths. It seems that move depleted a lot of her stamina
* Dias lies there motionless.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does a quick scan to see if he's conscious or unconscious
* Dias groans as he pushes himself up with his left hand into a kneeling position.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits for him to recover.
<Sera> <...Good going Ere!>
* Dias finally stands up, throwings his upper body back as he cracks his back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you ready to continue?
<Dias> You have his move...but you don't hit like him...6He clenches his left fist several times.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I said as much before we began.
* Dias bends over low and dashes in at her again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her stance subtlely, but waits.
* Dias leaps up to throw his a right kick then pulls it back and throws a hard jab down at her..
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds up a palm to block, using John's defensive technique
<DeathStar> 6* She then jabs at his gut
* Dias grunts and falls to his feet. He then kicks out at the side of her right knee cap
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps to the left.
<DeathStar> 6* And responds by jabbing at his jaw.
* Dias 's head snaps back and he flips with it, throwing a somersault kick towards her jaw
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' head snaps back.
* Dias lands on his feet and twiwsts his body, leaping at her in a spiral as he aims to drive his head into her gut
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit again, stepping back. It's clear she can't respond to these moves that have no logical pattern
* Dias plants his hands as he lands and rolls, pressing off his back and kicking up at her gut
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hunches over, then hits her knees.
* Dias lands on his back and rolls backwards giving space between them again
<DeathStar> 6* Taking several breaths, Erevis stands up.
* Dias breathes heavily.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hunches over as she stands, clearly hurting now. She doesn't even seem like she wants to continue this fight, but does so stubbornly.
* Alicia has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Alicia
<Dias> You ready?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods.
* Dias dashes in at standign higher this time. 1"RISING MOON!" He plants his front foot two feet before her and kicks up quickly, somersault kicking at her chin.
<Alicia> <Terra> *is back in the bar, seemingly recovered... mostly*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is drinking at the bar, brooding
<Alicia> <Terra> "Something wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps completely out of the way.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. 6She snaps moodily.
* Dias flips around past her, landing on his feet. He kicks out backwards towards her.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Great. Then I don't have to worry about you at all."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs his foot, and then suddenly, shifts her stance into one of John's lesser known ones. She suddenly centers her weight, then drives a hard punch right at Dias' stomach, and if it connects, then brings forward a headbutt
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just finishes her drink and gets a refill.
* Dias keels over the punch and his head snaps down from the blow, causing him to fall to the mat.
<Alicia> <Terra> *hands out another* "One thing though... don't do that again."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then shifts, bringing her elbow down toward Dias' back, finishing the comb.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do what? 6She drinks it
<Alicia> <Terra> "Medbay."
* Dias shoves off with his left hand and rolls out from under her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then don't fight Dias again.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I'm not planning to.. but I'm serious."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis misses. She takes deep breaths, having to recover stamina.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Bleed to death enxt time.
* Dias pushes himself up with his left hand again, rubbing his head furiously.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I'm betting I lost."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just makes a noise, finishing her drink and getting a refil.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up again.
<Alicia> <Terra> *hands her another* "Good job it wasn't serious."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes the same noise, throwing back her drink,
* Dias grabs his right hand and picks it up, only to have it fall down limply again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you ready?
<Dias> Worthless arm, just when I need you, you gotta go to sleep on me...
<Alicia> <Terra> "... you really thought I was going to die?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look, new subject.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Fine."
* Dias flicks his wrist and looks at her. "Yeah I'm ready?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks resigned, but nods.
<Alicia> <Terra> "So... umm... I made it in."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> In what.
* Dias holds his left hand out towards her and begins walking in close
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him warily.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I passed the piloting test. Would've aced it, but they were scoring on teamwork."
* Dias moves to throw a kick. 1"FORBIDDEN FRUIT ATTACK!" He snaps his left hand out, grabbing her boob.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, good for you. Who's going to run the bar now?
<Alicia> <Terra> "I don't know.. I'm sure I can find someone though."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, eyeing his hand. Then him. Then his hand. She knees him in the gut.
* Dias hurks as he falls to his knees.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That did not even cause me damage.
<Dias> Maybe I should try it again than...6He moves to stand up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Dias> FORBIDDEN FRUIT ATTACK! 6He moves to grab her boob again but than kicks at her right knee again
<Alicia> <Terra> "Are you sure you couldn't?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs his hand even as he kicks her knee. She winces, then she twists, aiming to hit pressure points.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Couldn't what?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Run the bar."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wouldn't want to.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Fair enough. I wouldn't want to force you to, even if I could."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You couldn't.
* Dias 's force contort and he swings his leg towards the side of her right knee again
<Alicia> <Terra> "I know. That's why I said it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis attempts to throw him before he can connect.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just grunts, looking more moody than five minutes ago
* Dias slams on his back, grunting in pain
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You win.
* Dias looks up at her. 1"But...You still standing...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. But I am tired of getting hurt.
<Dias> I...6He slowly pushes himself up. "Really? I win?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Dias> SWEET! 6He moves to throw his right hand up in victory than sighs as it doesn't move.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks over and grabs his shoulder, then twists something.
* Dias 's mouth opens in pain, but nothing comes out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There.
<DeathStar> 6* She walks over and puts her boots on. She appears to be moving stiffly now.
* Dias flicks his right fist and a look of pure joy appears on his face. "Sweet mother of ann frank. I can move my arm!"
* Sera grins softly and walks over to Ere
* Dias quickly throws his victory pose.
<Alicia> <Terra> *takes a drink herself*
<Dias> Erevis, fighting you was friggin awesome!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs her military vest and pulls it back on. "Oh?"
<DeathStar> 6* She buttons it back up.
<Dias> Oh hell yeah. I so gotta pay you back...Hungry?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ate before we fought.
<Dias> Thirsty?
<Alicia> <Terra> "... I'm still hungry."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Dias> For what?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just sits there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will drink water.
<Dias> You stiff?
* Sera looks between them silently
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Stiff?
<Dias> Sore, muscles ache, hard to move?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You did hit me repeatedly.
<Dias> I did. I've got the perfect place for you to relax after an awesome fight.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
* Dias moves over to her grabbing her arm and pulling her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks.
<Dias> Come on, you'll love it. I always go here after I wake up from my fights.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I know what love is. 6She says suddenly, to no one. "Bastard. He wouldn't know if love bit him on the ass."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just follows along, having little choice.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... who said that?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chad. God, I wish I could break that smug little face of his.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... he hasn't changed after all..." *suddenly looks angry* "I'd like to too."
* Dias leads her into the civilian city and begins walking along the streets with her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nabs a bottle without permission, drinking from it. "I hope he dies."
* Sera follows after the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along. "Where are we going?"
<Dias> To the finest Hot bath and Sauna this side of....Well on the ship.
<Alicia> <Terra> *quietly fumes, not wanting to bring up Dias' name right now, so not sure how to state her anger*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh yeah, just in case you were worried, I'm fine."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But I have a bath in my room.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You wouldn't be here if you weren't. 6She slams the bottle down on the table, eyeing the men in the room.
<Dias> Ut, this place is 5x better Erevis.
<Alicia> <Terra> *laughs* "True enough."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Dias leads her inside and waves at the front desk girl, motioning for two tubs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches all the men look paralyzed with fear when she looks their way. She snorts.
<Dias> Changing rooms over that way. Pretty much you'll be wearing a towel, unless you want to stay in your bra and panties.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And why would people do this?
<Dias> To relax.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I don't see how this is relaxing.
<Dias> Trust me. Now go change. 6He moves into the guys changing room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just scowls at being ordered and does as told.
* Sera gets a tub herself.
* Dias steps back outside, a white towel wrapped around his waist, showing bruises and welts all over his body.
* Sera goes into the girls changing room and gets ready.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out, rigid in posture.
* Dias moves over to the entrace to the hot tubs and looks over at Erevis. "Holy...." He shakes his head. "I...this way."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She nods once, then follows Dias.
<DeathStar> NRP: *John busts in and beats up Dias*
* Dias steps inside and walks along the hallway. He then takes a left and steps inside one of the hot tub rooms. Inside are 6 large drums with water inside them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You get in a barrell?
<Dias> That you do. 6He drops his towel, revealing that he's not wearing his boxers underneath and climbs inside the barrel, quickly submerging himself up to his arm pits.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances away as he does this, then glances at the barrell. "I do not see how this is relaxing."
* Sera steps into the baths, in only a white towel wrapped around her figure, she looks around.
<Dias> Please hop in than decide
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Dias> 6Notes there are several rooms, but which one.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis climbs in, then removes the towel before it gets very wet. She crosses her arms as she is in the barrell. "There."
<Dias> Now just close your eyes....And listen.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spins her empty bottle around on the counter now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does so, listening.
<Sera> <Which room...>
<Dias> 6The sound of steam can be heard alongside water dripping and landing on the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps listening
<Dias> Isn't it...just peaceful? 6He leans back against the edge of the barrel.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is ... different.
* Dias ducks under his water, holding his head under for awhile
* Dias pops his head up, his face now red. He runs his hands through his hair.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him.
* Dias looks over at Erevis, leaning his upper body over the edge of the barrel and resting his arms against the outside of it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do this..often?
<Dias> Quiet so. I find it helps me...get away from everything out there...But mostly because I'm at the bar with Cheryl and she tends to cause some sort of excrutiating form of pain on me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would she do that?
<Dias> Not sure, I just make a game out of it and see how long I can last before she gives up.
* Sera steps into the room Dias and Erevis are in, having followed the voices, she looks about
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She just stares at him, then glances at Sera.
* Dias glances over at Serena. 1"Great...The old hag's here...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Old?
* Dias nods. "Grey hair."
* Sera huffs
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She has blonde hair.
<Dias> I see only grey.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your eyes are damaged. You should fix them.
<Dias> My eyes' are fine.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you see gray, your eyes are damaged.
<Dias> Not as beautiful as yours, but there fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then dismisses it. "You should not call her old when she is not old."
* Sera pulls the long lock of blue in her hair behind her ear and settles in a tub nearby them, ignoring Dias.
<Dias> But she's obviously older than me. Meaning she's old.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I am old. Please refer to me as 'old hag'.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him.
<Dias> I could never refer to someone as lovely as you as an old hag."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you should apply the same to Serena.
<Dias> Fine, I'll just call her Granny.
* Sera blushes a little, and closes her eyes
* Sera grimmaces
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is not your grandmother. That is inaccurate as well.
<Dias> Granny doesn't have to refer to someone your related to.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Then you should refer to me as "Granny", too.
<Dias> I choose not to.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I am insulted and shall leave. 6She grabs the towel.
<Dias> It would be a disgrace to call you granny.
<DeathStar> 6* She puts the towel back on and gets out of the drum
<Dias> Fine fine, I'll call you granny.
<Dias> It's just a nickname anyways.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She does not like it.
<Dias> Most people don't like the nicknames there given. But that's why there nicknames.
<Dias> Plus it's how I associate names with faces.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Then if that is how you wish to treat people, very well. 6She nods her head politely, and steps out.
* Dias shimmies over to face Serena, eyeing her dangerously.
* Sera opens her eyes, to face him.
<Dias> I will destroy you vile granny.
* Dias climbs out of his tub and bends over, grabbing his towel. He wraps it around his waist and walks out.
* Sera sticks out her tounge at him.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *heads to Ariel's room, a little cautiously*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis adjusts her uniform color by the time Dias gets back out.
* Dias hits a dial as he leaves the room and heads out to look at Erevis.
* Dias scratches the back of his head. "I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand what your getting at.
<Dias> 6The hot tubs begin to increase in heat and the steam begins to thicken in the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis adjusts her damp hair a little, looking less stiff. She glances at Dias. "Your nickname causes her discomfort. I dislike causing people discomfort."
* Sera gets up, wrapping her towel about herself.
<Dias> I...I suppose I can try to stop calling her that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not do it on my account. Do it if you wish to do it.
* Dias smiles childishly then nods. 1"So how does your body feel now?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Better. You were correct.
<Dias> Now for that drink. 6He motions for the exit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then nods once. She is thirsty.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out
* Dias steps out wearing the towel and walks alongside her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Should you not put your clothes back on?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spins the bottle, and waits to see who it points at.
<Dias> Oh this? This is part of my routine of relaxing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Dias> Zephyr said I've never been shy since she first met me.
<DeathStar> 6* It ends up pointing at Terra. She snorts and spins it agani.
<Dias> I only really goto one place to drink....and that's Terra's Bar. I'm sure they've got water there...
<Alicia> <Terra> *laughs a bit*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. 6She walks along. "Do you enjoy not being shy?"
* Dias shrugs. 1"I suppose, if I was shy, I guess I never would've challenged Cheryl to a fight in a towel only"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You enjoy fighting.
<Dias> I think it's from the...6He scratches his chin. "Adrenaline rush?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm
<Dias> I'm not sure, I just like how I feel when I'm in a fight.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into Terra's Bar. Most of the customers grown at seeing Dias half nude again
<DeathStar> (groan)
<Alicia> <Terra> *GLARES* "Dias. CLOTHES."
<Dias> Terra. Towel.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spins the bottle again and it points at Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes it, then him, then it.
* Dias get's an oh shit look on his fiace and quickly ducks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Dias
<Dias> GET DOWN!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey, Dias. 6She calls sweetly. "Come sit with me."
<Dias> ...Ahhh...son of a...
<Dias> I don't want to!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I SAID COME SIT DOWN
<Alicia> <Terra> "This should be fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks between Cheryl and Dias
* Sera steps into the bar a short time later, fully clothed and clean.
<Dias> EEP! 6He looks at Erevis. 1"Pray for my safety...6He walks over to Cheryl and sits begrudginly down beside her.
<Alicia> <Terra> "And now Cr... Serena."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Want anything to drink?
<Dias> I...I'll have a beer for me and a water for Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* She gives him a smile, which is actually a nice smile, but completely horrifying since she never smiles nicely.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down on the other side of Dias
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Of course. On my tab, Terra.
* Dias looks at Cheryl. 1"I'm honestly scared right now Cheryl..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why are you scared? 6Her tone drops a few notches.
<Dias> You spinning a bottle usually denotes pain.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nonsense. I want to talk. To get to know you. 6She waves her hand dismissively.
<Dias> I...but you already know me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Know you better.
<Dias> I'm Dias! The loveable scamp once a con-man now turned honest working man."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Charming. 6She notes, her tone almost droll. She brightens up. "Say, want to go out with me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quietly drinks her water, not speaking at this.
* Dias coughs violently.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's THAT suppose to mean? 6She snaps.
* Dias freezes up, studdering.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Are you feeling alright?"
<Dias> I...I...I'd be....honored...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good. Lets do it right now. Come on. We'll do that thing people do. Eat? Yeah, eat.
<Dias> I...But...I...I..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What now? 6She asks impatiently.
<Dias> Nothing! 6He hops up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good. Lets go.
* Dias looks over at Erevis. 1"I'm sorry, I have to go out on a date now....If I dont' return you can have my stuff."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are dates that dangerous?
<Dias> I believe this one will be.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> EXCUSE me?
* Dias moves over hugging Erevis solemnly than turns to looks at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks at the contact.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "You're really starting to piss me off, you know."
<Alicia> <Terra> "He's just saying you can beat the crap out of him. I think."
<Dias> Eat yes. Where to?!
* Sera walks up to the bar and puts her comms down, "...Scotch, and an aswer to a question..." *she looks at Terra*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, coming between Dias and Cheryl. "Perhaps you should do it another time."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She focuses on Erevis now.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yes?"
<Dias> No, no, no. We'll do it now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not wish to do it, though.
* Dias frantically waves Erevis to back off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, is that right? You don't want to go out with me? 6She eyes Dias.
<Dias> I do Cheryl! Oh god I do.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh fuck you. Stay here, then. 6She walks out.
<Dias> ...I think I just signed my death warrant...6He stares blankly as Cheryl walks off.
<Sera> "...DO you have a problem with me...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... She is an interesting person.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... I don't know.."
<Sera> "...What's the matter then?"
<Dias> I have a feeling I'm going to feel the 9th level of hell sometime soon.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just finds a public bench somewhere and sits down, scowling.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not think she is angry at you.
<Alicia> "... don't worry about it. It's just bad memories."
<Alicia> <Terra> *says that*
<Dias> Death can only release me from the pain I'll feel...
<DeathStar> NRP: ALICIA IS A CHARACTER?! NOOO
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not think she'll hurt you.
<Alicia> <Terra> *nods a bit*
<Sera> "...Nah, I'd ratehr hear it before it becomes a problem..."
<Dias> If she tortures me, Erevis, please be my angel of death and release me from my bodily prison.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' green eyes flash a bit and she narrows her eyes. "Please do not joke about such things."
* Sera looks between Ere and Terra
* Dias looks at Erevis. "I'm not....So 'bout that water?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "... sure." *hands Dias some water*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses. "No, no, I'm fine." 6She runs her hand through her hair, looking tired. "Excuse me. I have duties I should do." 6She walks out.
<Dias> ....6Stares as he's dumped by anotehr girl. "I...
<Dias> I...Terra...I need a beer.
* Dias moves over to the bar when he see's Sera infront of him. "AHHHH!"
<Alicia> <Terra> *hands one over again* "Yeah.. and I'm fine, by the way. Thanks for asking."
* Dias takes the beer, shakign his head at Serena. 1"Obviously you're fine. You're here...So tell me why Cheryl asked me on a date?
<DeathStar> NRP: <Sera> Obviously her programming is malfuctioning. Haw haw haw. <Dias> Shut up, Granny.
<Dias> NRP: LOL
<Alicia> <Terra> *pauses* "... nah, couldn't be that..."
<Alicia> <Terra> "For a moment, I thought she was listening to Chad's insult."
<Dias> Chad's insult?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Said she couldn't love, apparently. And I thought you said the guy was nice."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eats another burger.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes her way to the garden to focus a bit. She kneels down and focuses.
* Dias just shrugs. 1"Not my department....so you think she was serious? Or she just wanted to cause me some kind of pain, like in a public restaurant?
<Alicia> <Terra> "One of the two."
<Dias> Wow...Way to narrow that down Terra...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opts to pass out on the bench while scowling.
* Sera looks at Dias oddly.
* Dias turns slowly to face Serena then begins to talk very slowly for her. 1"Yes?"
<Dias> ....Well since both of you have nothing to say. 6He hops off his bar stool and walks off, not paying."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Hey, pay up!"
* Dias turns. 1"Granny Serena said she'll pay for me. He waves and steps outside
<Alicia> <Terra> *looks to Serena* "Really?"
* Dias quickly high tails it down the street
* Sera sheaks her head.
<Sera> "...Looks like we have a thief running."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Figured as much." *sighs and calls security*
<DeathStar> 6* John bumps into Dias. "Hey! Oh, hi, Dias."
* Dias stumbles back as he looks at John, still only wearing his towel. 1"I swear I only turned her down out of fear!"
<DeathStar> <John> ... who?
<Dias> Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <John> ... wait, wait, wait, you turned down Cheryl?
<Dias> I was scared, John. She actually smiled at me.
<DeathStar> <John> You turned down Cheryl? 6He tries to process down. "The legandary Cheryl? The one who's had sex with 24 men, half of which were at the same time?'
* Dias pauses looking at John. 1"12 guys at once?!"
<DeathStar> <John> So I hear.
<Dias> God I gotta go find her. 6He rushes past him and runs down the street.
<DeathStar> <John> Too late now! She'll never give it to you now!
* Dias leaps over a bench and runs down a side street
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes the security report, then sighs. He sends Terra the funds electronically to cover Dias' drink
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores a drunken store on a bench. People eye her, wondernig if they should alert security
* Dias leaps over another bench and trips on Cheryl, slamming face first into the pavement
<Sera> "...So... why is it you're bothered by me...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks up. "Hey, who the hell touched me?"
* Dias groans in pain as he pushes himself off the sidewalk
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias, then rolls her eyes. "Go away."
* Dias rolls over and sits down infront of her. 1"I'm sorry for turning you do like that....I didnt' know you were actually serious about it. I just figured you were going to cause me pain, like the time made me play that game of dice and I lost."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dice?
<Alicia> <Terra> "... sorry... just... the Cran family isn't exactly known for their friendliness."
<Dias> Where I had to beat your two dice.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts, not remembering. "Whatever."
<Dias> Look, I wanna take you up on that offer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why the change of heart? 6She eyes him with one eye
<Sera> "...I have a reputation for being the black sheep of my families."
<Dias> Because Terra said you were serious about the dating thing and it wasn't a game to cause me pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "Bullshit."
<Alicia> <Terra> "That either makes you an okay person, or complete filth... and... families? Plural?"
<Dias> Fine it was Erevis who told me it all. And she doesn't lie. Kind of cool, eh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then why is John watching from across the way with binoculars and that fatherly, "God I hope he succeeds" look?
<Dias> He's watching me?!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... yes.
<Dias> He probably thinks this'll wind up with me in pain.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Of course. 6*She grabs Dias closer by grabbing his shirt. "I'm about to oblige him then."
<Dias> Eeep.
<Sera> "...Well, I was never quite what was expected of a Cran, and I was always a Cran to the Dragoons... personally, I hate being a Cran lately."
<Dias> JOHN SAID YOU SLEPT WITH 24 GUYS BUT I DON'T BELIEVE HIM!
<Alicia> <Terra> "Worst of both worlds?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's eyes widen. "WHAT"
<Dias> Oh god....I think I'm gonna pass out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slams Dias into the bench, then gets up and stalks toward John. Who immediately rabbits.
* Dias hurks in pain as he lies their on the bench.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, you better run, you dumb son of a bitch. You can't hide from me on this ship. 6She vows.
<Alicia> <Terra> "John's going to get it."
<Sera> "...Pretty much..."
<DeathStar> NRP: How would..Terra know...?
<Dias> NRP: Yeah, how would either of them know
<Alicia> NRP: Oh, never mind
<Alicia> NRP: Forget it ^^;
<Alicia> NRP: <Terra> Did you know I have latent psychic powers?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts and walks off
<Sera> NRP: I was responding to her line before that...
* Dias lies their motionless on the bench, much like a possom plays dead.
<Alicia> <Terra> "You're the chief mechanic, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* A kid steals Dias' wallet.
<Sera> "...THat I am."
<Alicia> <Terra> *pauses, then looks a little nervous as she starts to speak* "... I hope you don't mind if I look over my ship before I start flying."
<Sera> "...Why? I rarely inspect ships."
<DeathStar> 6* The kid escapes.
<Alicia> <Terra> "So, who does?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "... just the pilots?"
<Sera> "...The mecahnics. I'm the chief, it means I run things and generally give the final inspections. You have a problem with my work?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "I thought you said you didn't inspect ships much?"
<Sera> "FInal inspections nromally only occur after you've ripped one of my ships to pieces and we need to put it back together."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Well, that's not going to happen, so I'm fine."
<Alicia> <Terra> "But, I can hardly have a problem with your work if it's not you doing it."
<Sera> "...Then why did you originally want to do it yourself?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "Because I'm going to risking my life on everything working right."
<Sera> "...I don't make mistakes with machines, dear."
<Alicia> <Terra> "That'd be more comforting if it was you doing the work."
* Sera looks at her, seeing the circular arguement occuring.
<Alicia> <Terra> "How good are your techs?"
<Sera> "I only take the best."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Good enough for me."
<Dias> NRP: <Terra> So why are you there again?
<Alicia> NRP: LOL
<Sera> "...So... still warey of 'a Cran' on board?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "A little.. but not so much."
<Sera> "...I don't bite."
<DeathStar> NRP: You bit Spade, a lot. Grrrow
<Alicia> <Terra> "... I'd be a bit scared if you did."
<DeathStar> END
Session Close: Fri Mar 02 23:31:15 2007
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.6.19 - 3 days after 17. 1 day after last mini -
* Jackieness is now known as Myria
<DeathStar> Location: The PAXarama
* Alicia is now known as Kyouki
<Kyouki> NRP: Ah, no Cass?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eats his burger.
* Xanatos is walking through the hallway, making his way towards the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stretches her muscles, still working out some of the stiffness from letting Dias smack her around. She performs various martial art stances and breathing techniques.
<Myria> NRP: She gets plenty of playtime in the main sessions.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is in the bar, brooding.
* Kyouki is now known as Michiru
* Myria is out and about in the civilian sector, planning to go clubbing!
<DeathStar> <John> So then I singlehandedly defeated 99 pirates. 6He tells Michiru as he walks along in the civilian quarter.
<Michiru> Really?
<DeathStar> <John> Would I lie?
* Michiru gets a starry-eyed look
<Michiru> That's incredible!
* Xanatos steps onto the bridge and looks around.
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, I know. I'm pretty awesome.
<Myria> NRP: Liar! It was 98!
<DeathStar> NRP: *Michiru loses all respect*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *eyes Xanatos*
<DeathStar> <John> Of course, I used a stolen pirate mech to beat all 99, but that's a minor detail, right?
* Michiru smiles. "Of course."
* Xanatos glances at Kyouki. "You seen John?"
<DeathStar> <John> So, what did you want to do today? It's been forever since I had a whole day off.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I think he's in the civilian sector. Why?"
* Michiru thinks. "Are there any good movies?"
<Xanatos> I've got the list of volunteers that I think should be allowed to become pilots. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <John> Probably. We did import all the videos onto disc. But, really, you want to spend the day watching movies?
<Michiru> "Well, not all of it."
<DeathStar> <John> Man, we really got to work on broadening your social interests.
<Michiru> "Oh, you want me to find a boyfriend then?"
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, lets not rush into that now!
* Michiru laughs
<DeathStar> <John> If any man hits on you, just let me know. I'll hit on him back - with my fist.
* Michiru nods
<DeathStar> <John> And don't talk to Xan. He might get ideas.
* Xanatos looks to Kyouki for a moment before shrugging and then leaving the bridge, moving on toward the civilian quarter.
* Michiru shudders.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Good luck."
<DeathStar> <John> Good response. 6He nods approvingly. "He might think you're a mini Katrina or something."
<Xanatos> Thanks. *he calls back, moving on*
<Michiru> "I'd be flattered if it wasn't Xan."
<DeathStar> <John> Well, you do look a lot like her when she was your age.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks inside the empty bottle and sighs.
* Xanatos steps around a corner to see John and Michi. "Oh there you are."
<Michiru> <Terra> "Want another?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Xan suspiciously, then Michiru, then Xan.
<Xanatos> I just wanted to ask you something. *his eyes drift to Michiru*
* Michiru eyes Xan suspiciously too now
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, sure? What?
* Xanatos arches a brow at Michi and then at John. "Wait, was I interrupting something?"
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands Cheryl another* "Times are tough, right?"
<DeathStar> <John> Father-Daughter bonding.
<DeathStar> <Cehryl> Yeah.
<Xanatos> Oh...*he looks off to the right and rubs the back of his head* Sorry about that. *he pauses before looking up* Ok I finished the evaluations on the volunteers, and I was just curious if you wanted to look over the test videos yourself or if you wanted to go ahead and put those that made it into training?
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *relaxes in the gardens for once*
<DeathStar> <John> Send me the data to my datapad.
* Xanatos nods his head once. "Alright, that I can do. You need me to do anything else right now?"
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, sure. Watch Michiru for a second. I want to go check something out. 6He grabs his datapad and moves off.
* Michiru watches Xan uncertainly
<Xanatos> Uh...ok...*he stands there ackwardly and glances at Michi*
<Xanatos> What?
<Michiru> "It's nothing important."
<Xanatos> Uh...ok...*he tilts his head before pulling up his datapad and sending the information on over to John while he still remembers.*
* Michiru pauses
* Xanatos looks up from his datapad. "Problem?"
<Michiru> "I'm just thinking."
<Xanatos> Oh...alright. Uh...I wont be nosey and ask about what then. *he gives her a faint smile before stepping back to lean against the hallway wall. He pockets the datapad and crosses his arms. "So you're from the future huh?"
<Michiru> "That's right."
<Xanatos> So...how much can you say about what happens too me?
<Michiru> "... I'm not sure I should say."
<Xanatos> Well what could happen? The future is maleable right? How do you know that what happened in your time will actually come to pass?
<Michiru> "Well then... I don't know what happens to you."
<Xanatos> So I wasn't around then. *he nods* You think I died?
<Michiru> "I don't know. You might have, or I might just not have met you."
<Michiru> "... I worry a bit that I ruined things between John and Au... Erevis, though..."
* Michiru sighs
<Xanatos> Hmmm. *he rubs his chin* How so? You aren't the one who made them do anything, right?
<Michiru> "Well... it's not really my fault, but if I hadn't been there..."
<Xanatos> I'm sure you being there changed nothing. John and Erevis haven't gotten along since the incident. And I honestly can't imagine them ever getting along.
<Michiru> "They did... will do... ahh..." *looks confused* "... in my time. I guess I should just forget that, though."
<Xanatos> You being here could change the future for the better or for the worse. But while you are here, you are here, and anything that you used to know about people is most likely wrong. Am I right?
* Michiru pauses, then nods
<Michiru> "Well.. they're still basically the same people, but... I can't say what's going to happen in the future."
<Xanatos> But I would like to say something. Everything in the future happened without your intervention, right? If so, then surely things will work out. At least, from a logical viewpoint...though I don't deem myself logical...*he trails off, rubbing his head*
<Michiru> "I guess..." *sounds uncertain*
* Xanatos rubs his chin. "Ok, so obviously someone that you know from your timeline should probably not die, right? So if you think someone is going to die, you should definetly do everything in your power to stop that from happening. But other than that...people have to work things out, and there probably wont be much you can do to change that much...maybe provide some helpful words, but that is it."
<Michiru> "Well, helpful words should be enough."
* Xanatos nods. "Yeah, I guess so." he pauses and then tilts his head, looking at Michiru.
* Myria walks toward Michiru and Xanatos.
* Xanatos turns to look at Myria now. He lets out a low whistle, "Someone looks like they're about to go party." he notes.
<Myria> Hello!
<Michiru> "Hi Myria!"
* Xanatos smiles. "Hello."
* Myria peers at Michiru intently...
* Xanatos looks from Myria to Michiru. He arches a brow.
<Michiru> NRP: And I thought they'd met already. Oh well, Michi's probably met Myria
<Xanatos> Umm. Something wrong, Myria?
<Myria> Little Erevis...
* Michiru blinks
* Xanatos eyes Myria, then glances at Michiru.
<Xanatos> Little what?
<Michiru> "I'm John's daughter..."
<Michiru> "It makes sense that I'd look a bit like Aunt Kat."
<Myria> Daughter? *blink blinks*
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Actually you would probably favor your mother more than your aunt."
* Michiru nods. "From the future."
<Xanatos> Which brings me to my next question, is Shiva really your mom?
* Myria purses her lips as she absorbs this information.
<Michiru> "That's classified."
* Michiru does her cute little wink as she says that
<Xanatos> Oh come'on. Shiva's spawn couldn't be so cute. She'd have horns or something.
<Myria> I don't really like Shiva. *crosses her arms*
<Xanatos> See? *he nods to Myria*
<Michiru> "... would that make her horny?"
* Xanatos tilts his head, eyeing Michiru. "Young lady you'd best pull your head out of the gutter."
* Michiru giggles
* Michiru then looks completely innocent
<Xanatos> You watch this one Myria. I bet she is dangerous. *he nudges Myria and nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enjoys his burger.
<Michiru> NRP: Because Serena Cran is not around to pester him
<Myria> Ummm...ok.
<Michiru> "Why would I be dangerous?"
* Xanatos looks at Myria and sighs. "I was joking..." he looks from Myria to Michiru. "Soo umm, Myria. What do you plan on doing this evening?"
<Myria> I am going to engage in the human ritual known as clubbing.
<Michiru> "Maybe I should come along too?"
<Xanatos> Ohhhh. *he nods his head* I remember when I used to do that...boy did I suck at dancing.
<DeathStar> <John> You still do.
<DeathStar> 6* He steps up.
* Xanatos glances at John. "I never said I got any better."
<DeathStar> <John> I just didn't want you to delude the girls.
<Xanatos> Can't blame you there. *he says with a shrug*
<DeathStar> <John> So, Myria, going out?
<Michiru> "Can I go clubbing too?"
<DeathStar> <John> Sure.
* Myria nod nods.
<DeathStar> <John> Have fun you two. 6He waves his hand and moves off.
<Michiru> "Okay!"
<Xanatos> Uhhh
<Myria> Come on!
* Xanatos looks at John, then at Michiru. He scratches his head and then frowns. "Yeah, enjoy yourselves." He turns and moves to catch up with John.
<DeathStar> 6* John walks along.
<Xanatos> You really going to let her go clubbing? Michi that is.
<DeathStar> <John> Myria is with her.
<Myria> You need to be properly dressed for the clubbing ritual.
* Xanatos pauses for a moment. "Well yeah, I guess you're right. Oh by the way, did you train Dias?"
<DeathStar> <John> A little.
<Michiru> "Well, I'll be right back, then?"
<Myria> I'll go with you.
<Michiru> "Okay."
* Michiru smiles, and goes to change
<Xanatos> His flight skills are pretty good. I just didn't know if you taught him any of that.
<DeathStar> <John> A little.
* Myria follows
* Xanatos goes to open his mouth and then stops, glances at John. "You still don't like me do you?"
<DeathStar> <John> Let me see. Where do I begin to the list the reasons I should hate you?
<Xanatos> Don't worry. I wasn't asking you to like me. I'll leave you alone now. *he stops walking, allowing John to move on*
<DeathStar> 6* John keeps walking, indeed.
* Xanatos pulls his arms behind his back. "Well I wonder what I should do now..." He trails off, then turns and begins to make his way for the garden so he can relax.
<DeathStar> 6* Michiru and Myria reach Hotaru and Em's room
* Xanatos steps into the garden and glances around, he notices Peace. "Oh hey." he says, a smile sliding onto his face.
<Myria> Is this where you live?
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Relaxing here, isn't it?"
* Michiru nods. "Nice place, isn't it?"
* Xanatos nods his head and motions to a patch of grass near Peace. "May I?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "I don't see why not."
* Myria nod nods.
<Myria> I have a military bunk...the bed is too hard...
* Xanatos takes a seat, glancing over at Peace. "So you aren't in the Medbay, this is a rare occassion indeed." He says with a smirk.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Even a dedicated doctor requires some time to relax."
<Xanatos> If not, they start to go crazy, stuck healing people all day.
* Michiru nods a little
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Definitely."
* Xanatos chuckles. "So how have you been? I don't think i've ever actually sat down and spoke with you."
<DeathStar> 6* The audience wants for Michiru to change.
* Michiru changes into clubbing gear!
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "As good as can be expected, considering."
<Xanatos> I imagine things are probably just now getting back to normal after that last attack. *he said with a frown*
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... more or less. It takes so long to recover from things like that."
<Xanatos> Yeah...we still haven't really...*he looks down, playing with the grass a bit before looking up* So I never thanked you.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *looks surprised* "For what?"
* Michiru finishes getting ready, and heads out of her room again
<Myria> Ready?!
<Xanatos> Well if it wasn't for you i'd still have the parasite controlling my mind, wouldn't I? Heavens know I wouldn't want that to happen.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Oh, I'd almost forgotten about that."
<Michiru> "Yep!"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Obviously, you wouldn't be on board this ship if you had."
* Xanatos laughs. "I'd probably be dead, really. So thank you. I noticed most people that get patched up by you never give their thanks. So I didn't want to be one of those people."
* Myria heads off to the clubs!
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "A lot of them do seem ungrateful."
* Michiru follows!
<Xanatos> Because they are. To think that without you, most of them would be dead, if not all of them.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *nods a little*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's ears burn as the doctor is complimented
* ChanServ changes topic to 'The Alien Wars 4: PAX | (Current Weekly Schedule for Main Sessions) - Tuesday - 8 EST and Thursday - 8 EST | Season 9 "Galaxies": 18 of 26 completed | Episode 19: Dark Legacies - IMPORTANT | <Terra> <Xan> I feel the need, the need for spleed!'
* ChanServ sets mode: +r-o DeathStar
<Michiru> <Terra> "Weird... my ears are burning."
* Xanatos shrugs. "Oh well. At least you get paid for it, eh?"
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "There is that."
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Michiru
* Xanatos smirks then pulls up a piece of grass and begins to rub it between his index finger and thumb. "I'm not bothering you, am I?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "No. Why would you be?"
<Xanatos> Ah, I dunno. I normally bother people. So I try to make sure that when I am having a conversation that i'm not. *he pauses and just shakes his head* A bad case of paranoia, I guess.
<Myria> We need to pick the right club...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren feels annoyed as he eats
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Perhaps you should visit the counsellor."
<Michiru> "Which one is the right club?"
* Xanatos smiles. "Already been there. Oddly enough, he said I was perfectly sane." Xan shrugs at that.
<Myria> I...haven't figured that part out yet.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "That's reassuring."
* Michiru looks around
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "Was that sarcasm?"
<Myria> Ummm... *looks around too*
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... it wasn't... but I'm starting to think that you are paranoid."
* Xanatos smiles. "I wasn't being serious. I was just being playful..."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "I'm grateful that I don't have to deal with counselling."
* Xanatos nods his head. "Honestly, Dom is really good at it. It was really suprising to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes her training exercises in the training room.
<Michiru> "Maybe this one?"
<Myria> Ok!
* Michiru heads inside, with Myria
<DeathStar> 6* It's your typical club. Music, lots of dancing, older pepole that are 18+ - and alcohol.
* Azeroth has joined #taw
<Michiru> NRP: * Kyouki plays WoW while waiting
<Michiru> NRP: * Serena plays WoW, and misses her shift
<Myria> Ok, we are here!
* Azeroth has left #taw
* Michiru nods, and looks around
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "He's good with people's minds."
<Xanatos> You think that is a bad thing?
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "It could be if abused."
* Michiru goes to dance!
* Xanatos nods his head. "Yeah that's true. Wouldn't it be kinda ironic if Dom turned out to be our mystery hacker?"
* Myria also hits the dancefloor!
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Ironic, and very dangerous. Do you think he is?"
<Xanatos> I dunno. Anyone could be at this point. Just how do we know if someone is really good with computers? It isn't like we are required to take tests on them, and even then it isn't like we can't fake dumb.
<Xanatos> * Some sleazy man comes up to Michiru. "Hey little lady, wanna dance?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *laughs a little, hearing the last bit*
<Michiru> "... umm... I'm alright on my own, thankyou..."
<Xanatos> * The man tilts his head, a frown on his face, "Oh come'on, let me show you what a real man can do."
* Xanatos shrugs. "Well you know I'm right."
<Myria> Hey, she's with me! *stomps up to the sleaze*
<Michiru> "I'm not interested."
<Xanatos> * The man looks from Myria to Michiru. "R...really? Oh god that is hot? You ladies ever thought about a threesome?"
<Michiru> "... not with you."
<Michiru> "Actually, not at all."
<Myria> Ewwwwww...
<Michiru> "But especially not with you."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "You are right, yes."
<Xanatos> Oh see, I can be right from time to time. I must be just a little bit useful.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "So, do you fake stupidity a lot?"
<Xanatos> * The man's face starts to turn blood red. "What was that? Hell I'm more man than either of you can handle!"
<Myria> We don't want to handle your man-ness."
<Michiru> "Definitely not."
* Michiru idly wonders if this is what Dias would've turned out like if not for John
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Not really. Sometimes I really do say stupid things because I am stupid."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Ah. Humility is a good trait, though."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Most stupid people don't realise that they're stupid."
<Xanatos> * The man reaches forward and grabs Myria by the front of the shirt and pulls her in close. "Are you making fun of me?!"
<Myria> Let me go!
* Xanatos shrugs. "I dunno. I'd like to think I was smart enough when it actually counts. But...who knows."
<Michiru> "You shouldn't do things like that."
* Michiru prepares to hit the man if he doesn't let Myria go
<Xanatos> * Looks amused by Michiru. "Oh? Does the little runt want to fight?"
<Michiru> "No, but I will if you don't let her go."
<Xanatos> * The man looks from Myria to Michiru. "Make me."
* Michiru aims a punch at the man's face, pulling it back at the last second, and kicking him in the groin instead
<Xanatos> * The man's eyes go crossed and he grabs his junk, dropping Myria and falling to the ground.
<Myria> We should go.
<Michiru> ".. yes."
<DeathStar> NRP: *Cheryl approves*
* Michiru turns to leave
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forms a pyramid of bottles, holding out her hand for a new bottle
* Myria moves to leave as well.
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands one over*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to drink it so she can add it to her pyramid.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "I wouldn't know."
<DeathStar> 6* Myria and Michiru reach the "street"
<Xanatos> Course not. *he smiles, rubbing the back of his neck* So tell me Peace. What do you do for fun these days?
<Myria> ...well...so much for that...
<DeathStar> NRP: *ninjas bust out in TGC style and battle the two girls now*
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "For the most part, I prefer just to sit back and relax. Why?"
* Xanatos shrugs. "Oh I dunno. Just making conversation. " He smiles innocently.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Oh, for a moment I thought you might be interested in me."
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Scared you that bad, huh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope walks past Myria and Michiru, then pauses, eyeing the two. He pulls out a cig. "A little young to be in that place, aren't you two birds?"
<Myria> Ummm...
<Michiru> "Well.. maybe."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope puts it to his lips and lights it. "Good for you." 6He nods, giving them a nod. "Buck the system, I always say."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Not really, I just wondered what Erevis would think of this."
<Xanatos> Oh...*he pauses* I don't think she likes me, honestly.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "I see."
<Xanatos> I mean...well...*he rubs the back of his neck again* I don't blame her really.
<Myria> Ok...
<DeathStar> 6* Pope blows out some smoke. "You should buy some eggs and throw them at the officer's doors."
<Michiru> "Oh? Which officer?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> Pick a few you don't like.
Session Close: Sun Mar 04 00:00:00 2007
<DeathStar> 6* Pope offers Myria a cig.
<Myria> What is that...?
<DeathStar> <Pope> It's a cigeratte, luv.
<Myria> Cigarette?
<DeathStar> <Pope> Damn bad four your health, addicting as hell, but it soothes the nerves. Want one?
<Myria> No thank you...
<DeathStar> <Pope> Suit yourself. 6He shrugs, not put off in the least it seems.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Well.. I don't know the details."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope begins to move off, since the two aren't chatty.
<Xanatos> Uhh. Well Katrina hates me because I fell in love with the person that took over her body. And Erevis probably hates me because even though I have feelings for her, my feelings for Katrina are stronger...and I married her just to get on the ship...so now they are one again...double the hate.
<Michiru> "Nice meeting you."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope heads into the bar and sits down. "Nice pyramid." 6Cheryl grunts. He gestures at Terra to get him a drink
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Are you sure they hate you? I thought Erevis didn't care one way or another."
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands one over*
<Xanatos> Well. I guess. Either way, I know that liking me, or even loving are not options.
<DeathStar> <Pope> So, I hear you're about to get the uniform. Guess this is your time serving drinks.
<DeathStar> (last time)
<Michiru> <Terra> "Yeah.. I really need to get a replacement bartender."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Yep.
<DeathStar> <Pope> You know, they're going to make you take a physical with the doctor when you join.
<Michiru> <Terra> *shudders* "Oh no... no no no no..."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Oh yes yes yes.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Any way I can get out of that? Medicals really freak me out."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Nope.
<Michiru> <Terra> "... I shouldn't have signed up..."
<DeathStar> <Pope> You could always refuse the uniform and serve drinks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl studies Terra from behind her pyramid bottles.
<Michiru> <Terra> "... I might..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh...huh.
<Michiru> <Terra> "What?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Hmm.. have you spoken to her?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You yabber on about being a pilot for months now, and you're backing out because you hate medical check ups? I don't buy it.
<Michiru> <Terra> "I'm scared, okay? Am I allowed to be scared?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't buy it. 6She repeats
<Michiru> <Terra> "Hospitals... really freak me out... they stink of death..."
<Xanatos> Not about feelings...I've been kinda avoiding it...
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Maybe you should stop avoiding it."
<Xanatos> I really just don't want her to reject me, which I know will happen. I don't deserve her, Peace.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "So you reject her instead?"
<Xanatos> Of course not.
<Michiru> <Terra> "... I kindof panicked last time... and... punched the doc in the face."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "What do you call it then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then howls with laughter
<DeathStar> <Pope> Well. That's one way to deal with them.
<Xanatos> Giving her some peace of mind.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "You should find out how she truly feels. If she wants nothing to do with you, then move on."
<Xanatos> Yeah...I probably should.
<Xanatos> You sure you're just not trying to get rid of me? *he asks her, a smirk on his face, his head cocked to the side*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You hit the doctor. Oh man. I wish I could have seen that
<Michiru> <Terra> *laughs, a little nervously*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hold her injured side as she laughs. She doesn't seem able to stop
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "No, I'm not, but I won't stop you if you want to leave."
<Xanatos> Ouch. I think you just hurt my feelings. *he says with a fake frown*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have to go ask Peace about this. 6She pays and leaves
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Take care."
* Xanatos looks left, then right. "I...wasn't leaving..." He lowers his head and stands. "Bye then..." He turns to leave her in peace.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Wow, someone's sensitive."
<DeathStar> <Pope> That blonde girl scares me.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Cheryl? I think she scares everyone."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Does she scare you?
<Michiru> <Terra> "A little."
<DeathStar> <Pope> More than the doctor?
<Michiru> <Terra> "... no."
<DeathStar> <Pope> What if she became a doctor?
<Michiru> <Terra> "... I'd find a nice big rock to hide under."
* Xanatos shoves his hands into his pockets and moves along the hallway, a smile on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks past Xan
<DeathStar> <Pope> I heard the craziest rumor in the pilot lounge that she slept with 24 men.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Sure that wasn't Serena?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> No, her tally is high, but not that high
<Michiru> <Terra> "Maybe they're competing."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Must be a Dragoon thing.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Must be."
* Xanatos glances back at Cheryl's ass.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* She glances over her shoulder slowly.
* Xanatos looks up at Cheryl's eyes. He smiles innocently.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Looking at something', pal?
* Xanatos stops walking. "Oh, just something that I can't have." he says, trying to play it off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, maybe you're smarter than you look. 6She says, beaming at his weakness
<Xanatos> I've fought you before, so I know when to back down.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A man who knows his place. 6She waves her hand. "How rare. How boring."
* Xanatos shrugs. "Never can impress you. Oh well." he says in defeat, smirking.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides in close. "So, like what you see?" 6Her tone becoming silky.
* Xanatos tilts his head, eyeing her closely. "If I said no then I would be a liar." He confesses.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pats his cheek. "And what part of me, exactly, where you looking at?" 6Her voice still smooth as silk.
* Xanatos sucks in. "Well, I figure if I say it, you might just rip my face off...and as ugly as it is, I kinda like it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, you can tell me. 6Her voice is still sweet, running a finger along his chin.
* Xanatos shakes his head, "Sorry, but you're sweet voice has no affect on me. I'm a real man after all." He frowns, knowing he's probably about to die.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes. She shoves Xan away. "Fine. If I catch you looking at my assets again like I'm some piece of art you want in your room, I'm going to take up my own art - by finger painting with your blood."
<Xanatos> Yes ma'am. *a smile slides on his face and he mvoes to leave her alone*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Christ Almighty, I can't even get an idiot like him to take my serious. Goddammit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scowls and moves on to find Peace. At least bothering the Doc can make her day.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *is still relaxing in the garden*
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gooooone
* Myria has left #taw
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *glances to Cheryl as she arrives* "Finally agreeing to that check-up?"
<DeathStar> -END-
<Michiru> Oh, fine

<DeathStar> Location: PAXAZOO
<DeathStar> 6* John studies Xan's reports in the strip club. Since he doesn't really care what Xan has to say compared to tits
<Dias> 6A stripper slides up behind John and slides her arms around his chest.
<DeathStar> <John> Sorry, engaged. 6He says without looking back.
<Dias> 6The stripper slides him a piece of paper than steps away.
<DeathStar> 6* John raises a brow and takes the paper, glancing at it.
<Dias> 6It's says "Meet me in the training room for a....little extra caricular training. Love Shiva."
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6He squints at the handwriting
<Dias> 6Seem's legit.
<Dias> 6It even smells like her.
<DeathStar> <John> Hunh. 6He puts the note up in his pocket, then stands up. He walks out of the strip club.
<DeathStar> 6* John walks along the hallway, whistling a tune.
<Dias> 6Chad sits down in the garden, his arms crossed infront of him as he stares at some flowers.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the bar, staring at her drink.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eats a burger.
<DeathStar> 6* John steps into the training room.
* Dias slides before him, quickly sliding into his challenging pose. 1"I CHALLENGE YOU JOHN! TO A MATCH FOR ALL SUPREMACY!"
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there, staring at him. "You're not Shiva."
<Dias> You're right, I'm not. And now that I've officially challenge you, our fight must commence. 6He slides into his low stance.
<DeathStar> <John> But I'm here to talk to Shiva.
<Dias> I see...You can only talk to her after you've beaten me.
<DeathStar> <John> She gets impatient if I make her wait.
<Dias> Than you better beat me quickly.
<DeathStar> <John> I could. But she asked me to meet her here.
<Dias> That was me. That was my letter I had the stripper give you."
<DeathStar> <John> You wrote this?
<Dias> That I did.
<DeathStar> <John> ... so Shiva doesn't want to meet me?
* Dias just shrugs
<DeathStar> <John> Well, that sucks. I thought I was going to get sex.
<Dias> I'm sure if you beat me she'll totally do ya.
<DeathStar> <John> She'd probably do me if I asked her to. 6He eyes his watch. "I'll go that now."
<Dias> Oh no you don't. I already threw my challenge pose and I didn't beat Terra, Cheryl, and Erevis just to have you walk away from me."
<DeathStar> <John> So you've managed to beat them all, have you?
* Dias clenches his fist, tightening it till his knuckles turn white. 1"Damn right."
<DeathStar> <John> You realize the last time we fought, you almost died. My hand is solid steel.
<Dias> Than I'll just have to be more careful this time.
<DeathStar> <John> And why do you want to fight me anyway?
<Dias> So I know wether or not I'm able to protect someone.
<DeathStar> <John> And you think you can only prove this by beating me?
<Dias> Aye...
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes his head.
<DeathStar> 6* John pulls off his military vest, tossing it aside.
* Dias punches the air, clencing his fist again.
<DeathStar> 6* John clences both his hands, then moves his right hand behind his back, holding out only his left hand. "Bring it."
* Dias eyes him, than slides his right hand behind his back.
<DeathStar> <John> I'll make you use that right hand before I even think of using mine
* Dias suddenly dashes forward, weaving around to come in from his right side.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands perfectly still.
* Dias comes in sideways and leaps, throing a roundhouse kick for his right side.
<DeathStar> 6* John steps to the side, then responds by throwing a left punch for Dias' side.
* Dias grunts as he moves from the hit. He plants his feet and throws out a kick for John's side again.
<DeathStar> 6* John twists, blocking with his left hand, then spins around to recenter himself.
* Dias leans back and plants his hand, kicking upwards towards John's chest now.
<DeathStar> 6* John blocks with his left arm, then kicks out at Dias' gut while he's still in close range.

<Dias> 6Shiva steps into the bar, moving over to the counter and sits down.
<DeathStar> 6* John blocks with his left arm, taking a step back to steady his balance from the unusual nature of the attack. He quickly adapts, though, and brings up his knee, hoping to clip Dias' in his spiral and knock him out of it
* Dias hits the mat rolling sideways
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Shiva, sizing her up briefly, then decides she's just another pretty face in the wrong bar
<DeathStar> 6* John dashes forward, then goes for a football kick.
* Dias kicks off the matt as he's rolling and changes his direction.
<DeathStar> 6* John spins twists his balance back around
* Dias comes to a stop in a crouch as he faces John.
<DeathStar> 6* John stares at him. He doesn't even seem to have worked up a sweat.
* Dias dashes forward, his body twisted at an angle.
<DeathStar> 6* John studies him.
* Dias goes to through a hard downward punch and pulls it, spinning his entire body around and hurling a kick around.
<DeathStar> 6* John suddenly grins, then holds up his left arm to take the impact of the kick, then suddenly dashes forward and attempts to ram his knee into Dias' stomach
* Dias twists his left hand and slams it against John's knee, a grin appearing on his own face.
<DeathStar> 6* John pushes against his hand, then snaps his foot back, his left hand snaking out for it's own attack into his jaw.,
* Dias spins from the hit and hits the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* John brings up his foot and brings it down at Dias for a stomp kick
* Dias twists backwards, letting John's foot stomp against the mat. He kicks upwards, aiming to clip John in the jaw.
<DeathStar> 6* John tilts his head back, getting knocked in the jaw slightly. His head tilts to the side.
* Jackieness has left #taw
* Dias stamps on his hands and twists his lower body then spins his legs outwards, kicking.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up his left arm, letting the kicks slam into them. He then uses this moment to kick down at Dias' face.

<DeathStar> <John> Show me what you got.

<DeathStar> 6* John brings up his left hand as if he were holding up his palm to the sky.
* Dias slides towards John, throwing out a quick left jab aimed for his neck
<DeathStar> 6* John brings his palm around to block, then kicks out at Dias' right kneecap.
* Dias lifts his right leg up and his leg just rocks back from the kick. He pulls his left hand back and throws another quick jab, this time aiming for his left ribs
<DeathStar> 6* John uses his palm to block again. He moves forward, then suddenly rams his head right at Dias' nose.
* Dias leaps back as John begins to headbutt and he swings his right leg back in, kicking straight for the side of John's left kneecap
<DeathStar> 6* John brings up his own knee to slam into Dias' attacking leg, then swings his left fist right at Dias' throat.
* Dias throws up his left hand to try and intercept John's fist
<DeathStar> 6* John grins, then shoulder rams Dias.
* Dias stumbles back from the shoulder ram
<DeathStar> 6* John spins around, bringing a spinning kick for Dias' face.
* Dias spins around from the kick stumbling back more.
<DeathStar> 6* John dashe sin as Dias' is still recovering, not letting him recover. He throws his left fist forward, aiming to drive it below Dias' ribs.
* Dias 's mouth drops as John's blow connects.
<Dias> 6Shiva glances over at Cheryl then motions for a beer.
<DeathStar> 6* John then headbutts again, not giving Dias time to counter. If he attacks with a leg, it could.
* Dias spins, and grabs John's head with his right hand and pulls it down as he brings his right knee up.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender hands Shiva her drink.
<DeathStar> 6* John is hit in the face by the knee, stepping back in what must be agony. He then begins to howl with laughter.
* Dias swings his right arm around. 1"I was worried it was going to fall asleep like when I fought Erevis."
<DeathStar> <John> HA. HA. HA. I KNEW IT. 6He wipes the blood away from his nose.
* Dias suddenly get's a scared shitless look on his face as he stares behind John. 1"I...I...Cheryl..I..."
<DeathStar> 6* John glances over his shoulder.
<Dias> RISING MOON! 6He snaps off the floor, kicking straight for the side of John's face.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Isn't this place a bit low class for you? 6She notes.
<Dias> <Shiva> Hmmm? I suppose I could be, but than I heard you scared off...everyone."
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up his right hand and blocks with it. The sound of the gears in it can actually be heard. He turns to face Dias. "You made me use my right hand. Bad boy." 6He throws a left punch for Dias.
* Dias slides back from the punch, a wicken grin on his face. 1"Always a con-man in my heart."
<DeathStar> <John> Truly. I guess that means I have to use my right hand now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> 6* John opens and closes it. "That actually hurt."
* Dias takes in a deep breath and slides into his tall stance. His left hand snaked out and his right hand held sideways.
<DeathStar> 6* John slids into his thousand punches stance.
<Dias> <Shiva> 6Makes a pouty face at Cheryl. Then motions for a beer for her.
* Dias begins to strafe John moving to his right, keeping his right arm held out sideways
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender complies. Cheryl studies Shiva. "Mmm. And to what do I owe the honor?"
<DeathStar> <John> Lets see you block this.
<DeathStar> <John> THOUS----
<DeathStar> <John> AND
<Dias> <Shiva> Well, I'd have to say you not threatening to beat me up is a good start.
* Dias suddenly snaps in low, sweep kickign at him.
<DeathStar> <John> LIES! 6He leap straight up, then shifts and brings a flipping kick down at Dias' head
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, so you're bribing me. 6She takes the beer. "Smart woman."
* Dias grabs onto the mat with his right hand and changes his direciton, letting John kick into the mat. He flips wards onto the back of his shoudlers and shoves off it, snap kicking towards John's head.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs the foot with his right hand, tightening down. He then snaps his own kick at Dias' head.
<Dias> <Shiva> I didn't spend the last 15 years lieing, cheating, manipulating, stealing, bribing...What else am I forgetting?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm sure you've done a little of each of the seven sins.
<Dias> <Shiva> Lust is my favorite one.
* Dias 's head snaps back from the kick.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl studies her. "That would explain John."
<DeathStar> 6* John then jerks him toward himself, and throws a punch with his left hand, aiming to nail him in the face again
* Dias 's head snaps back again.
<DeathStar> 6* John then drops Dias and thrusts his elbow down at his stomach
<Dias> <Shiva> What can I say? He's good at what he does.
* Dias is nailed and slams into the mat.
<DeathStar> 6* John twists his body, planting his hands onto the mat, then tries to bring down his feet into Dias' stomach.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll take your word for it.
<Dias> <Shiva> Smart woman. 6She winks back ath er.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her beer.
<Dias> 6Johns' feet find their mark, but only to also find Dias wrapping one arm around it and then rolling sideways as he moves to drives his other elbow into the back side of John's kneecap
<DeathStar> 6* John lets himself fall backwards, bending his knees so the damage done is minimal. He lands on the mat, then kicks his legs up, hoping to jolt Dias' grip
* Dias snaps back with the kick and pulls his free hand back and swings it foward, aiming to hit John right in the tailbone.
<DeathStar> 6* John winces, then uses his right hand to smack at Dias' face
* Dias snaps back from the hit, losing his grip and hitting the mat.
<DeathStar> 6* John flips to his feet, holding his ass.
* Dias pushes himself up to a crouch, holding his face with his right hand.
<DeathStar> <John> I CALL FOUL! THAT'S MY ASS!
<Dias> YOU CAN'T CALL FOUL! ONLY I CAN CALL FOUL!
<DeathStar> <JOHN> FOUL FOUL FOUL!
<Dias> NO NO NO!
<DeathStar> <John> YES YES YES!
<Dias> NO NO NO!
<DeathStar> <John> YES YES OH HELL WITH IT. 6Suddenly power kicks at Dias' stomach
<Dias> <Shiva> So where's your other enterade?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who?
* Dias drops his right hand and brings his left hand down, throwing out his palms to take the kick, causing him to stumble back.
<DeathStar> 6* John twists, then swings his left fist out for his defenseless face
<Dias> <Shiva> Hotaru, the silver hair kid, The fiery bartender and...Serena isn't it?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "It's just me. The way I like it."
* Dias 's head snaps to the side from the head, causing him to take several more steps back
<Dias> <Shiva> You mean, you prefer to be alone?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yep.
<Dias> <Shiva> What about sex?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm afraid lust is rather on the bottom of my seven sins.
<Dias> <Shiva> Really? A shame.
<DeathStar> 6* John steps to the right, then forward, leading with his left fist again, not willing to strike Dias with his right ne.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I much prefer wrath.
* Dias is nailed sending him crashing to his knees.
<DeathStar> 6* John then steps back and leads with a kick for the head.
<Dias> <Shiva> Oh I enjoy wraith...but it's just nice to have a little lust in you every once in awhile.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Whatever you say."
<Dias> 6Shiva pauses than stares at Cheryl. "Don't tell me...You've never..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You haven't heard? I've had sex with 24 men. 12 at the same time. Old hat.
* Dias tumbles backwards from the kick, landing face down.
<DeathStar> <John> Finishing Strike. 6He pulls back his left hand, then punches at the back of Dias' head, aiming to knock him out
<Dias> <Shiva> Eh, rumors don't interest me. All that matters is wether it's true or not.
* Dias groans as he rolls to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her drink. "Maybe it is."
<DeathStar> <John> You could never make it easy, could you. Now I'm going to have to hurt you.
<Dias> 6Shiva studies Cheryl's face. "I don't think it is."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And why's that? 6She leans forward a bit, as if daring Shiva to tell her it isn't.
* Dias moves his hand to his head, wiping blood.
<DeathStar> 6* John claps his hands together, closing his eyes
<Dias> <Shiva> Your eyes tell me otherwise.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And here I thought you could only work your wonders if you touched.
<DeathStar> <John> Mmmmmmmm
* Dias pushes himself up, stumbling backwards as he moves to gain space.
<DeathStar> 6* John suddenly leaps forward, then spreads his hands out, then moves to clap them together against each side of Dias' head - aiming for his ears. "CLAP ATTACK."
<Dias> <Shiva> It's not always easy to touch someone when their 50 ft away my dear.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then I guess you'll never know. 6She notes, motioning for rocket fuel from the bartender
* Dias suddenly lunges in close, making it hard for John to hit his head as he snaps both his hands out towards John's nipples. 1"FORBIDDEN FRUIT ATTACK!"
<DeathStar> <John> I--what the fuck?
* Dias suddenly twists them hard.
<DeathStar> <John> GYAH
<DeathStar> <John> This is...so..gay..
* Dias then snaps his head forward, aiming to headbutt John.
<DeathStar> <John> OW! RAPE! 6He headbutts back
* Dias slides back and hops foward, kickign his foot down to stomp John's foot.
<DeathStar> 6* John winces. He suddenly jabs at Dias' throat with his fingers.
* Dias stumbles back as he begins coughing violently.
<DeathStar> 6* John dashes forward. "500 PUNCHES." 6He uses his left hand to send a series of punches for Dias' face.
* Dias contorts his face and hops backwards, dropkicking at John as he falls backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* John is knocked back.
* Dias lands on his back, still coughing beat to hell, blood now staining his silver hair.
<DeathStar> 6* John wipes his bleeding nose, which reopened from the headbutt.
<Dias> <Shiva> So it doesn't bug you at all that such a nasty rumor is going around?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And I should care because?
<Dias> <Shiva> Because someone's talking shit about you? I dont' know, if I was me and I had your body. I'd brain 'em.
* Dias begins pushing himself into a stand, the blood now running down his face.
<DeathStar> <John> You should call it quits.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I brained every idiot I came across, the ship wouldn't function.
<Dias> <Shiva> But there'd atleast be no one spreading nasty rumors....I bet it was that Serena Cran.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's just jealous she's only at 4.
* Dias coughs several times. 1"Hell no..."
<DeathStar> <John> Look, you put up a good fight. But it's over.
<Dias> I can still move...6He takes a deep breathe and slides back into his tall odd stance
<DeathStar> 6* John sighs.
<Dias> <Shiva> I'm sure she's eagerly moving to try and surprass you.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up his left hand facing down and his right hand facing up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good luck finding 20 willing men. 6She laughs at that thought, throwing back her rocket fuel.
* Dias shakes his head, and quickly wipes his right eye clean of blood with his shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* John dashes in, coming within striking distance.
<Dias> <Shiva> 6Let's a out laugh. "Aye, she even got turned down by Xanatos I hear."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mutters something about having Xan's eyes as trophies.
* Dias leans to his side and plants his right hand against the mat and swings his left leg hard towards John's left leg
<DeathStar> 6* John lowers his right hand, spreading it so the palm takes the impact. He then jabs with his left one for Dias' right shoulder
* Dias rolls back as he's nailed, his right arm going limp, he hops into a stance, eyeing his arm. "That move again..."
<Dias> <Shiva> And why would want his eyes?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Forget it.
<DeathStar> 6* John then jabs with his right hand for his left shoulder
<Dias> <Shiva> I can only surmise it was more embarassing for you than him...
* Dias twists his right shoulder to race John, letting it take the brunt of the jab. He then hops back and kicks outwards towards John's stomach.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives Shiva deadpanned look. Something tells her that embarrassing isn't something that happens to her often
<DeathStar> <John> OUH
<DeathStar> 6* John then jabs with both fingers, one going for Dias' penis, the other going for his leg.
* Dias 's swings his right harm to punch the one going for his leg away, letting the one aimed for his penis nail, it makes a resounding thunk noise and in reply Dias pivots his upperbody and throws a left hook with all his power for John's face.
<DeathStar> 6* John is hit and goes bouncing.
<DeathStar> 6* He flips to his feet.
* Dias slides sideways, keeping his useless right arm aimed at John.
<DeathStar> 6* John rotates his head
* Dias taps his crotch with his left hand, the same resounding thunk noise appearing. 1"Fight Cheryl and Terra and you learn to wear protection.
<Dias> <Shiva> Ok so not embarassed, but obviously not pleasant.
<DeathStar> <John> And here I thought you'd be proud to have wome ntouch you there.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm. 6She says, not willing to talk about it. She gets another refill.
<Dias> Not when their hands are balled up into fists, my penis, it doesn't enjoy it well.
<DeathStar> <John> And here I thought you liked pain.
<Dias> I did fight Cheryl. 6He begins sliding towards John again
<Dias> Twice..
<DeathStar> <John> Rumor has it that Cheryl wants to kill me. Any idea why?
<Dias> Rumor has it that someone was spying on me while I was trying to set up a date with Cheryl and this person ruined my chances, any idea why?
<DeathStar> <John> I was just waiting to see if you succeeded
<Dias> And I paniced.
<DeathStar> <John> Tisk tisk. Now you'll never be #25
<DeathStar> <John> And 25 is a lucky number.
<Dias> I'm sure it is. 6He wipes blood from his right side again with his left hand.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh yeah. You got about 10 seconds to remain conscious
<Dias> ....What do you mean?
<DeathStar> 6* John cups his hands together
* Dias narrows his eyes and dashes in at John.
<DeathStar> <John> Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
* Dias leaps up, moving to kick at John's head, then pulls it back and throws another wicked left hook.
<DeathStar> <John> BLAM! 6He holds up both hands to block the kick, then leans back as the hook passes him. He then throws his own punch with his right hand at Dias' head, aiming to make him see stars and stun him
<Dias> <Shiva> Atleast tell me if it's true that if you were to bleed, your blood could be sold as it's on alcoholic beverage.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why? Want to sample it?
* Dias 's head twists as it's nailed, blood flinging off from his face and spit launching it. The rest of his body soon follows and he's slams into the mat, rolling hard.
<Dias> <Shiva> What blood type?
<DeathStar> 6* John's eyes widen as that happen, only intending to stun him for a second
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Never bothered to find out
<Dias> <Shiva> I only drink A+.
* Dias lies there on the mat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, not getting the joke
<DeathStar> 6* John walks over, then nudges Dias with his foot.
* Dias rolls onto his back, and by the look of his eyes, he's definetly seeing stars
<Dias> <Shiva> Nevermind.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Already done.
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs his head, wincing. "Now I got to go to the medical bay. Great."
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his vest and buttons it up, then picks up Dias.
<Dias> 6Shiva smacks her forehead. 1"Oh yeah, hypothetically speaking, if I were to have asked you to whack a dragoon, would you have done it. For free? And disposed of the body even?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just stares.
<Dias> <Shiva> Just a conversation John and I had.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's ice over a few degrees. "No, I would not."
<DeathStar> *eyes
<Dias> <Shiva> That lieing sack of shit...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Shiva dangerously.
<DeathStar> 6* John dumps Dias on the med bay table, and seeing Peace not around, grabs a stim and shoots it into Dias' arm.
* Dias snaps into a sitting position, throwing a left hook as he pops up towards John.
<DeathStar> 6* John is hit. "SON OF A BITCH THE FIGHT IS OVER." 6He punches at Dias again.
* Dias 's head snaps back and he grabs it with his left hand. 1"What..Where the hell...Did I fall alseep again after I beat you?
<DeathStar> <John> I knocked your dumbass out!
* Dias looks over John, blinking.
<DeathStar> <John> Which means... 6He poses like Dias would, even with a V. "VICTORY IS MINE!"
* Dias grumbles slightly.
<Dias> 6Shiva looks back over at Cheryl. 1"Yes hun?"
<DeathStar> 6* John then grabs another shot, giving himself something.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think you should go. 6She notes icely.
<Dias> 6Shiva eyes the time on her datapad. 1"Shit you right, John's going to be getting off duty soon."
<DeathStar> <John> That's better. Good fight, champ. 6He slaps Dias on the back, grinning
<Dias> <Shiva> It's just a shame hypothetically speaking, you wouldn't get ride of an omega problem.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Omega? Sera? Oh, if I could dump her out an airlock, I would. 6She waves her hand
* Dias winces in pain.
<DeathStar> <John> ... Oh, sorry. Here. 6He gives Dias another shot.
<Dias> <Shiva> Wait you would? So John was right....
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And I would do it with a song in my heart.
<Dias> <Shiva> Which song?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm sure I'd think of something approrpriate.
* Dias 's left hand snaps out again, throwing another punch at John.
<Dias> STOP GIVING ME THOSE!
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs Dias' hand.
<DeathStar> <John> That'll block the pain. Also, some side affects of pure adrenaline is horniness. Enjoy
<DeathStar> 6* John walks out, waving.
<Dias> That'd explain the buldge in my pants...6He eyes his crotch.
<DeathStar> 6* John pokes his head back in, looking utterly serious
<DeathStar> <John> Also, if you don't get laid within the hour, your heart will explode.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods, then steps back out.
<Dias> <Shiva> Well I should get going...Ciao Cheryl. 6HShe hops off her stool and heads out.
* Dias stares at John as he heads out and hops off the table, quickly running through the halls.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her forehead, trying to decide if she has 3 glasses in front of her, or just one.
* Dias slides into the bar, quickly motion for a beer.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender hands it over.
* Dias moves to grab it with his right arm but can't and it hits the floor.
<Dias> ....Oh yeah....6He motions for another beer.
<DeathStar> <Bartender> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sees Dias, and immediately feels annoyance
<DeathStar> 6* The Bartender hands him another, making him pay or both
* Dias grabs the beer with his left hand and turns, looking at Cheryl, bloody still slowly coming from his forehead
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why, Dias, I love the new look
<Dias> Really? I worked on it for the last 40 minutes
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Remind me to pay the person who gave you the make over. 6She turns away, no longer interested in talking
<Dias> It was John.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bless his soul. I'll only break half the bones in his body instead of all
<Dias> He also shot me up with pure adrenaline and if I dont get laid in an hour, my heart's going to explode.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nice knowing you
* Dias stares at her, blinking
Session Close: Tue Mar 06 00:00:00 2007
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, deciding the middle one is her glass, grabs it and throws it back
<Dias> You'd let, innocent Dias die?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You betcha.
<Dias> Why?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Because I'm not going to have sex with you
<Dias> Fine...I'm just going to go die than.
* Dias turns and begins walking off
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Have fun. Refill. 6She holds out her glass
* Dias steps outside.
<DeathStar> -END-
