<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.6.29
<DeathStar> Location: The PAX
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides around a corner and begins creeping along it rather slowly.
<Xanatos> * Dias is tapped on the shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly stiffens up, a look of innocence on his face. "I wasn't there, I swea..." 6He turns looking at Xanatos. "Oh, it's just you."
* Xanatos tilts his head. "What'd you do?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nothing. 6He holds the perfect poker face
<Xanatos> Sure like I believe that. *he steps back, crossing his arms*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps back, crossing his arms too.
<Xanatos> Y'know, now that you're part of security you really need to try and stay out of trouble.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm a pilot, not security. 6He nods as a matter of factly
<Xanatos> Same rules apply. *he notes, tilting his head* Have you even read the rule book?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just groans at that.
<Xanatos> That'd be a no then. *he says, shaking his head* You'd better, John will get pretty pissed if you don't.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Wait, can you even read?
* Xanatos just stares at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stares back, slightly tilting his head.
* Xanatos sighs. "I'm not a retard, I just have poor decision making skills."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Some would say they're related.
<Xanatos> Well just because people say it, doesn't mean it is true.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're right, that's why I just let your actions tell me that.
<Xanatos> Hmmmm. Touche. *he says with a shrug* So what are you doing?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Talking to you. 6He stares at him dumbly.
* Xanatos sighs. "I mean, what were you doing before you started talking to me."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I was walking discreetly
* Xanatos frowns. "Nevermind I even asked then. I saw nothing regardless."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just narrows his eyes at him. "Look Xan, I like you, don't make me kick your ass...again."
<Xanatos> Oh? Again? *he pulls a hand up to his chin, thinking* Again...OH I remember now. I was winning before I left to check on why we were being ATTACKED.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pscht, you would've lost. The attack just spared you the fate of a rather humiliating defeat.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And a trip to the medbay..."
* Xanatos smirks. "You may be talented kid. But you still lack experience."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just yawns boredly. "Erevis didn't think so."
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "You're a little shit, y'know that?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know. 6He eyes his fingernails
* Xanatos frowns and looks left, then right. "Well I'm bored now." He notes, scratching his chin casually.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm sure you've got plenty of stupid choices to make. How could you possibly grow bored
<Xanatos> Truth is, i'm trying to think before I act. It's really boring.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm surprised you're capable of that.
<Xanatos> I'm capable, I just often don't, which is why i'm in my current situation.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Psst...6He wiggles his finger at Xan to come closer, glancing around.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "No one is around. If you have something to say, do it."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look, just feed my ego. 6He motions
<Xanatos> Fine. *he leans forward*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly snaps his fist out, punching Xan in the face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands in the training room, holding out her sword with her eyes closed. She goes through the practiced motions, pretending there is an opponent there. While she was never one to pretend, it does help to train.
* Xanatos snaps his head back, taking a step back. "Oh yes, I forgot you didn't get your punch." He says with a deep frown. "But you'd best never do that again. I'll let one slide, the rest aren't free."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the bar, at a table in the corner, her cowboy hat tipped down, and apparantly asleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren monitors the idiots of the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* John sits in the strip bar.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You ever do something stupid like that again to her, I'll make sure they have to wire your jaw shut.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "You think if I had actually thought things through that I would have? Hell no, that's why i'm trying to think before I act now. You don't have to threaten me Dias, i'm fully aware that what I did was wrong."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I find pain's a wonderful motivator.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes his knuckles, shaking his fist slightly
<Xanatos> Hmph, you have no idea what true pain is. *his face goes dark and he turns away from Dias, hiding some of the anger that he is experiencing from yesterday's experience.*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah yeah yeah...If you'll excuse me, I have something I need to do. 6He turns, walking away.
* Xanatos exhales once and then inhales slowly. "Damnit this is just getting worse." He says to himself, stepping forward and moving down the hallway.
* Chad`Winters steps into a shop in the civilian section and then steps out several minutes later with a wrapped something
* Xanatos shoves his hand into his pockets, moving along the halls, he slides to a stop outside of a certain training room. He stares for a few moments before turning to leave her alone.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Dias walks into the bar, then plops down next to Cheryl, holding a wrapped item.
* Seraphna has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't even budge.
* Dias leans over slightly, than nudges Cheryl with his elbow
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
* Xanatos crosses his arms as he moves along, a frown on his face. He doesn't know where he is going, he just knows that right now, everyone hates his guts, and honestly, he doesn't blame them one bit.
* Dias holds his out hand with the wrapped item towards her.
<Dias> I bought ya something.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She tips her hat up slightly. "What?"
<Dias> It's flowers. 6He holds his hand out to her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why would I want flowers?
<Dias> ...6Scratches his chin. "Don't all girls want flowers?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess not.
<Dias> Huh....This usually makes girls happy...6He eyes the flowers oddly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sorry to disappoint you. 6She goes to tilt her hat back down.
<Dias> Would you go on a date with me? 6He stares at the flowers for a second than tosses them onto the table.
* Xanatos looks out across the crowd of people in the civillian area, he leans against the wall, finding it enjoyable to observe people as they go about their daily routine.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6She stiffly reaches up and tilts the hat back. "Care to repeat that? I don't think I heard you right."
<Dias> I asked you if you'd go out on a date with me? 6He looks up at her now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Dias> My treat.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I said no.
<Dias> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want to go on a date.
* Xanatos suddenly shivers, he has the feeling someone is in alot of trouble somewhere.
<Dias> Oh...6He spins around, now leaning against the counter. "What do want to do?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What I am doing right now.
<Dias> Sleeping?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bingo.
<Dias> Lame...How 'bout a drink instead?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure, whatever. Buy me a drink.
* Dias waves his finger above his head for two drinks
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender brings over the drinks, knownig Cheryl well enough to know what she drinks
* Dias spins around and grabs his drink, taking a quick gulp. 1"I think I bruised me knuckles punching Xan earlier..." He looks at this left hand, eyeing his knuckles
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6Her blue eyes shift toward Dias, her hand wrapping around her drink. "Why would you hit him?"
* Xanatos presses himself off from the wall and dissappears into the crowd, an odd look on his face.
<Dias> Because of what he unwittingly did to you. 6He frowns slightly as he takes another drink from his beer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. So you decided to play - what? Big bad protector?
<Dias> No, just angel of revenge.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. Well, I don't need people fighting my own battles. 6She throws back her drink and moves to stand up.
<Dias> I wasn't fighting, I just don't like people messing with the people I care about.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis spins the sword, still going through her training regiment.
* Xanatos steps inside of the training room, leaning against the wall, watching Erevis go about her motions.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Care about? 6She turns to glance at Dias. "Well, I didn't ask for your help, and I don't want it."
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck. "While training is good. I'm sure if you had a sparring partner, you would benefit more from it."
* Dias turns around and looks at Cheryl. 1"Oh....I..I'm sorry than." He slumps his shoulders.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulder. "Whatever. Forget it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, the sword ironically aimed right at Xanatos. "What do you want."
<Xanatos> To help with your training. *he replies quickly, staring past the sword at Erevis' face.*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Leave.
<Dias> I....6He pauses as he tries to put his words togther, his left hand scratching his chin as he thinks.
* Xanatos frowns and looks away. "I figure'd you would be upset at me as well. Can't say I blame you either." he says, turning to move away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him go, not even attempting to stop him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl plops back down, letting out a sigh and waving the bartender over and getting another drink. "Sorry for being a bitch. Just...don't defend me. I don't want, or need, it.
<Dias> I can't make any promises Cheryl. I may in the heat of a battle, jump in.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm talking about personal issues. There was no heat of battle with Xanatos Durran. He's nothing. 6She snaps, taking off the hat and raing her hand through her blonde hair. "I don't even care enough to hurt him. He's just that...beneath me."
<Dias> I see. 6He claps his hands together, rubbing them eagerly.
* Xanatos stops by the door, turning to look back in at Erevis. "I know I said that you would never hear another apology from me, but this time I feel like I should. I'm sorry for clawing at you trying to find a way for you to love me. My past actions are more than enough for you to hate me, and what with my current ones, it was stupid of me to even ask. I'll do my best to not bother you, hell I'll do my best to stay away from you.
<Dias> You know what I'd think you'd enjoy?
<Dias> Well atleast, I know I'd enjoy it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good. I do not wish to speak to you again. If I see you again, I will hurt you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Dias> Drinking inside the sauna.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No thanks. I'm not stupid.
<Dias> Hmmm? Wear a bathing suit than.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pffft. No.
<Dias> You don't trust me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want to wear a bathing suit. I like my clothes just fine.
* Xanatos just frowns. "When I look at you, do you know what I see. I see what could have been, and I see how that turns out. I'm sorry what happened to Cheryl, but what i'm sorry about most is that no matter what actions I take, i'll never be happy again. I dunno who there is to blame for that, maybe me, maybe god. But it isn't like you care anyway. Enjoy your life Erevis and give my regardless to Ariel. *he says, turning and leaving her al
<Dias> Than wear those. 6He just shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And get them wet? Fuck that.
* Dias finishes his beer and motions for two more drinks.
<Dias> Someday...Someday you'll join me in the sauna.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh? And are you psychic now?
<Dias> Just confident.
<Dias> Hell, no woman should go without seeing my well sculpted body.
<DeathStar> 6* Cherly snorts.
<Alicia> NRP: Hmmm, Erevis does suddenly hate Xan. O.o Or maybe it's not sudden
* Dias chuckles lightly than leans back, stretching
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts her hand, then suddenly slams Xanatos into the wall. She walks up to him, anger on her face. "Do not DARE question what I care about, you selfish bastard. Do not QUESTION my feelings."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You are so full of yourself. It's unattractive.
<Dias> Really?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh yes.
<Dias> Oh....6He closes his eyes as he muses over her comment
* Xanatos stares at her, his face neutral. "..."
<Dias> So attractive than?
<Dias> NRP: What's
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You pity yourself all the time. You think your happiness is robbed of you because you do not get what you desire. You think life is against you and that no matter what you do you will not get out of it. You blame yourself, and when that gets old, you blame everything else. Then, when those around you do not act as you desire, you say they don't care. Well, that is wrong. I did care about you, Xanatos Durran. You killed that. You killed that by your actions, willing or unwilling, thought out or unthought out. Do. Not. Question. Me. 6She drops Xan
<DeathStar> You killed that. You killed that by your actions, willing or unwilling, thought out or unthought out. Do. Not. Question. Me. 6She drops Xan
<Xanatos> What else am I supposed to do? I made those choices, and now I have to live with the consequenses, and there is no way to ever make up for them. I've seen what happens, I've seen the love that we can share and i'm so pissed at myself for letting this outcome happen. I'm Jealous of Ariel, jealous because when you look at her you've nothing but love and respect in your eyes. Yet when you look all I see if pity and anger. <cont>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Excuse me?
<Dias> What's attractive than? 6He looks at her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *shrugs*
<Dias> Is it muscles? 6He flexes quickly
<Xanatos> I want to fix things, make them good again, but no matter what I do it seems when I reach a step, I fall back 2. I don't want you too love me, I don't deserve that chance, but for the love of god I just want you to look at me and not feel pity or hate or anything negative. But how do I do that? I try to move on and fuck up, hurting someone I shouldn't have even been talking too. I'm out of option...I really don't know what else to do."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<Dias> No? Well, that pretty much leaves me without anything than. Since I'm far from intellectual
* Seraphna heads out to a bar, some reason having chosen a short skirt and silk blouse as her going out attire, she heads up to the counter and looks around.
* Dias glances over at Serena, than scratches his head, leaning over to Cheryl. 1"I didn't know old people drank."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, blinking a moment during his comment about Ariel. She watches him afterward as he rants with a cool glance, not of anger, but just of distance, until he putters out.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh now there's a lass i've not seen in a long time. *he says towards Sera, taking a sip of his beer*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You should go show her your muscles. Maybe she'll think you're attractive. 6She snorts, downing another drink.
* Dias shudders suddenly
<Dias> How could you say something so mean?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm a bitch.
<Dias> Hardly, but that's was just plain mean.
<Xanatos> I guess i'm just pissed at myself for falling right back into my same ol routine. I spouted for days about how I was here to make a difference and where has that really gotten me? Nowhere. I have no right, after all I've done to even talk to you, let alone project the anger I have for myself onto you. But I swear to god, you wont have to deal with me anymore. I'm done trying to appeal to everyone. I'm done trying to be peoples friend.
* Seraphna orders a drink and looks over her datapad
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm hardly?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares. It's almost the same look she was giving him when Erevis first took over Xan's body - like she considers giving him a major ass kicking.
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, KAt's
<Dias> Well trying to push me onto granny Serena was pretty....bad.
<Xanatos> * Marcus arcs a brow, a look of hurt sliding across his face. "Guess I'm not even a blip on the radar of such a big timer."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, I kind of enjoyed that. 6She beams, a good buzz going
* Xanatos tilts his head. "You ever decide that I may be worth having as a friend again, and i'll gladly attempt to keep from fucking up. But until then, if you get the notion to kick my ass. Then just give me a call." He turns and begins to walk away from Erevis.
* Dias finishes his drink and motions for another two. 1
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you are so eager to be beaten, I could do so right now. 6She notes cooly. "At least you would be fighting for something."
* Xanatos stops and glances back. "Funny, our last encounter I recall I was the victor."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then as you humans are fond of saying - come kick my ass. 6She notes, her temper flaring.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the drinks, tilting her head. "Now there's a pretty boy." 6She says about Marcus
* Xanatos arcs his brow, "Oh you're making this so easy."
* Dias reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a deck of cards and begins shufling it. He glanecs up looking over at Marcus, than just snorts. 1"Pscht, I'm so much hotter.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tosses the sword to the side, then lifts her hands up into a combat stance.
<Xanatos> * Marcus eyes Sera for a second longer and the just shrugs, standing up and moving onto Cheryl's opposite side. "Can't believe she fucking ignored me." He mutters, taking a sip of his beer.
<Dias> Who would've ever thought that. 6He grabs his beer and takes a drink.
* Xanatos eyes her, a sad look in his eyes. "Erevis, for the first time ever. This isn't worth my time." he turns now, leaving her to her fighting stance.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And so you decided to come talk to me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And that is why you are alone. And pitied. And miserible. And no one likes you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drops her hands.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your actions are never thought out, and you lack conviction to follow through. And that is why we will never be friends.
* Xanatos stops and turns, eyeing Erevis. "Yeah, you're right. You're completely right. But I couldn't strike you, no matter how much you wanted me too. If you want to beat my ass, then here I am, you can hit me all you want. But if I ever hit you, out of anger, then I would fall furthur than I could ever recover from."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are a coward. Leave. It is what you are best at.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just shrugs. "I guess I am. Is that a problem?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *leans forward* You must not come in here very often, or you'd realize how dangerous it is to talk to me.
* Dias stares at Marcus, much like a dog would to a threat.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, clearly lacking any respect for him now.
* Seraphna walks over to Marcus and smiles, poking his shoulder.
* Xanatos stands there for a moment, his face falling deeper into saddness. "I think i'd much rather you knock the fuck out of me than to turn away..." He looks down at the ground. "One of these days...maybe I can prove my worth."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Marcus and shoves him down into a seat at her table. "Go away, Serena. We're talking."
* Seraphna taps her comms, "Sorry about that Marcus... I was kinda zoned out..."
* Seraphna blushes apologetically, ignoring Cheryl.
<Xanatos> *Marcus arcs a brow looking from Sera to Cheryl. "Sorry dearie, i'll talk to you some other time, seems i'm busy."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You proven your worth by backing away like the meek dog you always were.
* Dias leans over to Cheryl. 1"I think granny ignored you.
* Seraphna looks a little hurt, then again, she's looked a little pale the whole time.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs her towel and begins to wipe away the sweat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just gives Sera that smile, then waves someone over to bring Marcus and Dias a drink. She cups her hands together, staring right at Sera. "You heard him."
* Xanatos tightens his fist up, "You're not the hot shit you think you are. And I hope I'm around the day you find that out." He turns to leave her alone now.
* Seraphna blinks, she looks down, and starts to walk away
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not have to be anything special. I just have to know when something is worth fighting for. 6She mutters once Xanatos is gone.
<Xanatos> *Marcus rubs her chin. "Dear me I think we hurt her feelings."
<Dias> Granny Serena has feelings?
* Xanatos rounds a corner and slams his fist into the wall. His head lowers and he begins to move for the garden.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Feh. She'll get over it. That girl bounces through emotions like clothes. 6She drinks her drink.
<Dias> Cool.
* Seraphna rounds a corner, and right into Xan
* Seraphna falls flat on her rear, as if to add insult to her already injured spirit, her comms flies out of her hand.
<Xanatos> *Marcus glances between the two of them. "I have a feeling I jsut participated in a horrible act."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe. You want to go comfort her?
<Dias> IF you leave, you might leave with a broken bone.
* Xanatos stands there a dark look on his face. Blinking a moment before he realizes what happened. "Oh, Sera. I'm sorry." he bends over to pick her up.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *heads for the garden, on a whim*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out of the training room, heading for her room.
* Seraphna lets him, shaking a little, she looks up at him, seeing his face, she goes even more pale
* Xanatos suddenly goes soft. "Sorry...sorry...bad day."
* Seraphna nods weakly, though she looks like a rabbit caught in a trap
* Xanatos rubs his chin, looking off to the side. "Yeah...umm...you ok?"
* Seraphna nods softly, not signing since he's looking away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shows Marcus her teeth in a smile. "Oh, I wouldn't do that, if you want to go."
<Dias> I will tho! 6He smiles innocently
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks past her room, opting to just walk for the time being. Clear her head.
<Xanatos> *Marcus shrugs, "I'm not worried about you." He says to Dias, "You on the otherhand, are so damn scary that it is actually attractive." He says to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I really must be in a bizzaro world. 6She rubs her temples suddenly.
* Seraphna steadies herself, using him as a bit of a wall
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh? I guess i'm not the only one to admit my interest then?
* Xanatos looks up at Sera suddenly. "How are you holding up?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seems ever since Xan, everyone and their grandmother thinks I'm attractive. It's really annoying.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Who? *he looks confused*
* Dias downs his beer, motioning foranother as he shuffles the cards around with one hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just throws back her drink, scowling again.
* Seraphna shrugs a little, she then signs, "Alright", though her face has little conviction.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well fuck, then I guess I find you completely revolting. *he says with a shrug, not seeming to mind flipping his attitude on the fly*
* Xanatos eyes her for a moment. "You sure seem it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Really? I'm charmed. Really.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well good then. Or better yet, who the fuck cares if you're charmed or not. *he says with a shrug, taking a sip of his beer*
* Seraphna looks down, shivering a little
* Dias stares at Marcus, obviously confused at this words
* Xanatos crosses his arms. "THink we could talk?"
* Seraphna nods softly.
* Xanatos moves over and picks up her comm, giving it back to her. "You'll need this." He turns and begins to walk, expecting her to follow.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You sure know how to woo a girl.
* Seraphna takes it, loking at it before hurrying to catch up
<Xanatos> *Marcus just shrugs, seemingly not about to let his guard down, he tilts his head, staring at Cheryl, allowing her the next move.
<Dias> Can I punch him Cheryl?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the garden from a different route than Xan and the others, moving to sit down adn meditate. Her skin is flushed red, as if she were working to control her energy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why would you ever want to punch him, Dias?
* Xanatos shoves his hands into his pockets again. "I'd like to apologize..." he says after a moment.
<Dias> I don't know...6He narrows his eyes as he locks onto Marcus, his left hand still shuffling the cards around
* Seraphna turns on her comm "...Apologise...?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You have to overlook his behavior. He thinks he's a white knight or something.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Is something wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, in an unusual feat, completely blows off Hotaru and ignores her
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh i've not the slightest interest in the boy. *he assures Cheryl, moving the cap to his beer over his knuckles*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> .oO(Apparently so.)
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck. "What happened...yesterday. The entire experiment. I did some things that I'm not proud of."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Really?
* Seraphna looks down, she doesn't even have to say that she's not proud either.
* Dias begins sending the cards back and forth between his hands
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nah. Do you think I should be? *he moves his head to tilt in the opposite direction*
<Dias> Boy? 6He narrows his eyes even more now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, he could kick your ass for calling him a boy.
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'll... leave you alone." *walks off a bit to give Erevis her space*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Didn't know that was a touchy word, if it is, then I apologize. *He says to Dias*
<Dias> ....6He sets the deck of cards on the counter and finishes his beer. He stands up. "I've lost all interest to drink now."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You hurt his feelings.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I did? Man i'm a stupid git then, think I could make it up to him?
<Seraphna> "...I've done many things wrong too..."
* Dias tosses his money down and heads out.
* Xanatos exhales once. "At least you were sticking to what you believed. I...well..." he frowns and looks up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws back her drink.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Apparently I can't. *he says with a shrug, staring at Cheryl* Want another?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think I hit my bitch quota for the day. I'd just bleed your dry and send you home alone, my pal. So you should probably go find some other blonde who's willing.
* Seraphna looks up at him, looking him over, her eyes a well of many mixed emotions.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Funny, I was asking if you wanted another, didn't say I was going to buy you one.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Clever.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I thought so too. *he smirks at that*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I bet all the girls just throw themselves at you
* Xanatos looks at Sera again. "Anyway, I just wanted to apologise. I didn't want you to think I hate you, and I wanted to make sure you don't hate me either."
* Seraphna blushes deeply, "...I-I've never hated you Xan.... I..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blows out a breath, her skin having gone back to the typical pale color. She seems relaxed again.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah well, I work hard at it. Besides, most girls are just looking for someone to make themselves feel a bit better about who they are.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is that right? 6She turns to face him fully, apparantly he got her full attention. Which could be bad. "So you help them out?"
<Xanatos> Well you're the only one who hasn't. *he notes with a frown*
* Seraphna walks over and hugs him tight, "...I know the feeling..."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Help them out? I'm not so sure i'd put it that way.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, what do you do, then?

<Xanatos> *Marcus pauses, thinking about that. "I show them a good time, and reassure them that they are still attractive, when at most times they have forgotten it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then you move onto the next girl and give her the same treatment?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hardly. I have my ways, but eventually we go our seperate ways with no ill will between us. I'm not the type to hump and dump as they call it. No, I love women enough that I take their emotions into account as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs for a moment. "Wow."
* Xanatos pats her lightly, "Anything you need to talk about?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *Eyes Cheryl wondering what is so funny. "Do you think i'm in the wrong?"
<Seraphna> "...Lots... but I don't want to be a bother..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, no, it's just you're so slick, I'm not surprised people fall right for you
<Xanatos> *Marcus eyes Cheryl. "You don't believe my little speech then?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hardly.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *looks over to Erevis, a little worried, but uncertain whether to speak up*
* Xanatos just chuckles. "Erevis hates my guts and verbalized that she doesn't want to speak to me ever again. Everyone else on the ship hates me for accidentally giving Cheryl King Red's fruit, so I'd love to hear your problems, anything to take my mind of of my own.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just shrugs, "Since you don't even believe me a little, i'm not even going to try and defend myself. It would just be a waste of breath."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright.
* Seraphna steps back and thinks, "To my room then?"
<Xanatos> Your room? *he eyes her suspiciously*
<Xanatos> *Marcus takes a sip of his beer and then tilts his head at Cheryl. "So what about you? You really hate the fact that people find you so attractive?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Does that surprise you?
* Seraphna looks at him a little perplexed, "...Yes, something wrong...? I figure it's more private then a hallway..." *she watches some crewmembers walking by*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Most girls that do the whole, 'Don't talk to me i'm better than you' routine is actually only doing it because they enjoy the attention that they recieve. The whole...reverse psychology of it all.
* Xanatos finally shrugs. "That's fine I guess. Lead the way."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll tell you what. There's only one thing I'm good at and that's fighting. The whole girl thing is just how some old perverts decided to make me.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Make you? *he arcs a brow, a little confused*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm a Dragoon.
* Seraphna opens the door to her room as they arrive, she's got a rather large room, being Chief Engineer, and it's spotless, not as expected of a techie.
<Xanatos> *Marcus lets out a low whistle. "I couldn't tell a difference." He admits. "But that doesn't matter, so you're made to fight and that's it. You're still a being, a...a person. And people have the natural need to feel loved. You may not admit it, but if you could find that one guy or girl that made you feel loved, you'd never let them go."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts*
* Xanatos looks around as he steps in. "Nice place." He says in idle chat.
<Alicia> <Terra> *heads to the bar*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Snort all you want, i've seen it happen hundreds of times. I don't think you're any different.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, fine. I'm no different.
* Seraphna smiles weakly and sets her comms on the table open, taking a seat in one of her chairs, "...THanks... I keep it clean out of habit."
* Xanatos crosses his arms, standing there, waiting for het to begin.
<Alicia> <Terra> *orders a drink, glancing over to Cheryl and Marcus, but not speaking up*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Do you honestly believe that or are you saying it to make me shut up?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, definitely the latter.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, opening her eyes. She rotates her head a bit, shifting her shoulders.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well I hope I get to see the day when you find that person. Who knows, maybe it will be me. *he gives her a wink now, smiling*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... feeling better..?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am calm again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to regard Hotaru.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, that's smooth, Slick.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Do I even want to ask what happened?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not. Do you desire to ask what happened?
<DeathStar> (know)
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh I was just kidding, I've accepted that you wont give me a shot, I guess i'll just have to find someone else. *he glances around the bar, looking for someone*
* Seraphna looks down at the floor a moment, "...I've come to realise what an idiot I've been..."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "In that case, I guess I do."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I spoke with Xanatos.
* Xanatos arcs a brow, rubbing the back of his neck. "About?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches him scope out the bar, glancing at Terra.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... ah... about recent events...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Various things.
<Xanatos> *Marcus sees Terra as well. "What about her?" He glances towards Cheryl.
<Alicia> <Terra> *watches Marcus, not drawing attention to herself*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's a friend. You hurt her, I hurt you.
<Seraphna> "...Everything... my clining onto Spade's memory... my desire to get on Chad's good side... just everything... I've been trying to please everyone so much..."
<Xanatos> *Marcus eyes Cheryl for a moment, "Understood." He then stands up and motions for Terra to come over and join them.
<Alicia> <Terra> *heads over* "So.. what's up?"
* Xanatos smiles, "That sounds familier."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Just trying to figure out why you're drinking over there alone when your friends are right here. *he gestures*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Friends. Plural. Smooth.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I didn't want to interrupt anything."
<Seraphna> "...I've rarely really considered what I wanted for myself... just one thing... and I can never seem to find it..."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Like anyone talking to Cheryl amounts to 'anything' *he waves his hand dismissively, sitting back down, before looking to at Cheryl.* That was a joke by the way. *he makes sure she understands that, because he is very much afraid of her*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ha ha.
<Xanatos> You want love. *he says for her*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Like to live dangerously, don't you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a breath, then moves to go.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Take care."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, then moves to walk toward her room.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I must admit that my heart feels like it is going to explode. Anyway I'm Marcus, I do believe we've met but I can't remember your name for the life of me. *he frowns to show how sorry he is*
* Seraphna nods softly
<Seraphna> "...I just... I want someone I can trust, someone who can care for me and let me care back..."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Terra. I guess I didn't make much impact."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Or I'm just a stupid git with a horrible memory. *he admits with a look of embarassment*
* Xanatos nods his head. "A person like that is very hard to find these days."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keys in her room code, then steps in, moving to activate the shower.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her alcohol, letting her eyes wander the bar while the two talk
<Alicia> <Terra> "One or the other."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Of course, so you and Cheryl here are good friends? *he asks, knowing the answer, but allowing her to give the input that she desires*
* Seraphna nods softly and looks down, she's holding back tears
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the shower.
* Xanatos rubs his face and frowns. "Maybe you should stop trying so hard? Let that person come to you?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "I'd like to think so."
<Xanatos> *Marcus nods and glances at Cheryl quickly. "Well that's good, here I was afraid dear Cheryl pushed everyone away. But I feel a bit more comfortable knowing that it is just guys." He says with a look of relief.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at him, showing her teeth.
* Seraphna nods, a tear falling down her cheek.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I hate it when you do that. *he says with a frown, but pauses, glancing at Terra* Didn't you used to be the bartender here?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yeah.. I gave it up to be a pilot."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh? A pilot, eh? You any good?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a note to do it twice as much now
<Xanatos> *Marcus glances at Cheryl's expression and hides his grin, since he thinks it is really cute when Cheryl does it.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Awesome."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You're awesome?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Pretty much."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Still getting the hang of shooting, though."
* Xanatos steps forward and wipes the tear off of her cheek. "Look, I know it is hard. Losing that person you love is a very miserable experience. But you need to be strong."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well that sounds good. Maybe I can see you fly sometimes?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out of the shower and gets dressed in a robe, then moves to start painting
<Alicia> <Terra> "I guess so."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You guess? Well you sure don't seem interested at all. Maybe I can show you my piloting skills, then?
<Alicia> <Terra> "You pilot too?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Marcus
* Alicia glances to Cheryl, then Marcus
<Alicia> <Terra> *does*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hell no, I just wanted to seem interesting. *he says with a sly smile*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then rolls her eyes and looks back to the bar room
<Alicia> <Terra> "... so.. yeah, I'll watch you crash and burn."
<Seraphna> "...Have you ever felt a bond before...?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ouch, so much compassion from you. I guess you really are out for ol number 1, eh?
* Xanatos tilts his head. "I've experienced a bond, but not like the one you dragoons go on about."
<Alicia> <Terra> "..."
<Alicia> <Terra> *just looks away*
<Seraphna> "...Imagine joining your very being with someone... and having it torn asunder... I-I didn't just lose him... I felt his death... I felt his final moment... I've never... I never felt lonelier then after that moment."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl elbows Marcus in the gut without looking
<Xanatos> *Marcus arcs a brow and glances at Cheryl before looking back to Terra. "Dear me, did I say something wrong?"
* X1 has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Alicia> <Terra> "Maybe."
* Xanatos stares at Sera. "I'm sure it was horrible." He looks down to the ground.
<Alicia> <Terra> *sounds uncertain, somehow*
<Xanatos> *Marcus eyes her for a moment, "Clearly i've opened my mouth and spoken before I thought. Could I make it up to you?"
* Seraphna shivers, she puts an old pain down inside her again and closes her eyes, "...It was... but I don't... I'm not scared away from bonds now... I want to feel it again, to feel whole, truely one with someone I love..."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Are you trying to butter me up so you can sleep with me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grins.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *grins as well* Do I seem like I am?
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yes."
<Xanatos> *Marcus tils his head, "Really? I wasn't even trying this time..." He frowns, and rubs his chin. "I mean...I was making an effort to be nice...but..."
<Xanatos> And so you'll grasp onto anyone who shows the slightest interest in you? Even if they are just a talentless waiter?
<DeathStar> 6* Finishing her painting, Erevis steps back, then moves over to pour herself some coffee, having gotten a taste for it since Seraphna.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... it was just a bad time, I guess."
* Seraphna looks up kinda dumbly at him, deer caught in headlights.
<Xanatos> You want to feel love so bad that you cling to the first person that shows interest. No wonder you get your heart broken so often.
* X1 has joined #taw
* Seraphna looks down, nodding weakly
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well forgive me if I seemed to be coming onto you, I guess it is to be expected though...*he frowns*
<Seraphna> "...I... I lived for father's approval... then William's... only recently I've only had myself to look to and... my self just wants to be approved... accepted..."
<Alicia> <Terra> "It's no big deal, I guess."
<Xanatos> You've got to learn to accept yourself before others will. God knows that's why i'm having so much problems.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But I was serious about seeing you fly. I'm really interested in it.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Well, I don't mind you watching."
<Seraphna> "...Are you still after her?"
<Xanatos> Who? *he glances at Sera oddly*
<Seraphna> "...Erevis..."
* Xanatos frowns. "After tonight, Erevis and I will never be anything. Not even friends.
* Seraphna looks down and nods
<Seraphna> "...I see..."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe you can...let me ride with you or something? *he puts himself out there, seeing how Terra will react*
* Seraphna suddenly hugs him tightly, comfrotingly.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I.. don't need any distractions.."
* Xanatos hugs her back, "Thanks Sera."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, sneakily, has snuck away while Marcus and Terra talk, and now wanders the Civilian Quarter
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But you said you were awesome? I highly doubt I would get in the way...
<Seraphna> "...You've always got me as a... friend..."
<Alicia> <Terra> "I'm just... I've always flown alone."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well maybe it's time for a change. What do you think you'll do when you need to hop and shuttle and go rescue some people?
* Xanatos hugs her tightly, "Thank you Sera. And i'll always be here as your friend."
* Seraphna hugs him tightly, though her eyes, out of his view, seem sadder for some reason
<Alicia> <Terra> "I'll manage."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wow, you're totally shut in. Pushing me away. It kinda hurts my feelings.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh, did I say something wrong?"
* Xanatos pulls away and rubs the back of his neck. "I don't know if you wanted more from me. But a friendship is all i'll ever be able to manage." He admits with a frown.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm just throwing myself out there and you're just stomping my face into the mud.
* Seraphna looks down and nods.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I... you can have my drink."
<Alicia> <Terra> *hands her unfinished drink over, looking around*
<Xanatos> *Marcus jsut stares at Terra*
* Xanatos frowns. "But is a friendship really so bad?"
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... sorry, anyway."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Do I make you uncomfortable?
<Alicia> <Terra> "A bit."
* Xanatos steps forward and kisses Serena on the forehead. "I'll be here anytime you need me."
<Seraphna> *Her comms crackles for a moment before it focuses and croaks out, "...Kay... thanks Xan..."
* Xanatos steps forward and wraps an arm around Sera, pulling her in for a kiss.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable?
<Alicia> <Terra> "I... don't know."
<Xanatos> *Marcus frowns. "Oh well, I guess you can finish you beer then. *he slides it back to her*
<Alicia> <Terra> *looks a little surprised, but smiles* "Thanks."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <What's going on?>
* Seraphna blinks and looks up in surprise as she's kissed.
<Seraphna> <...Huh...?>
* Xanatos pulls back after a moment, a frown on his face. "I...I...i'm sorry. I should have stopped myself. I was just saying..." he trails off, rubbing the back of his neck.
* Seraphna reaches up, gently, and pulls him back in.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> < Oh, I just wondered if you knew what was going on with Erevis. She seems kindof moody today... though I guess I shouldn't pry. >
<Seraphna> <...Think she and Xan got in a fight...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> < ... yeah.. I won't ask anything more than that. >
<Alicia> <Hotaru> < Are you busy or something? >
<Alicia> <Hotaru> < You seem distracted. >
<Seraphna> < ...Mmm? A little bit... >
* Xanatos lets her pull him in for another kiss when he stops and pulls himself away, slightly quicker than he planned. "I...i'm sorry Sera. I just...you looked so sad and lonely...and I am." He inhales, "I'm not thinking with my head...least not the right one." He makes a face and moves over to sit down, rubbing his temple.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> < I'll leave you alone then, though I am curious... >
<Alicia> <Hotaru> < Tell me what you're up to when you finish, okay? >
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well I guess i'm going to call it a night. Maybe I can buy you a drink sometime?
<Alicia> <Terra> "I guess. Don't expect me to climb into bed with you, though."
* Seraphna looks away, blushing hard. "...I umm..."
<Seraphna> < Okay... >
* Xanatos looks up, his cheeks red, he's obviously embarassed. "I shouldn't have done that to you, it was cruel of me. I leaped in before I even thought..." He stops and rubs the back of his neck again. "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeouch. Very defensive. I dunno who is worse. You or Cheryl. *He notes with a frown*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Maybe I should tell her you said that."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Is that supposed to scare me? She knows she is defensive, she admitted to it.
<Seraphna> "...You have feelings for me too... I... I want you to give me a chance... take it slow if you must... but... give me a real chance..."
<Alicia> <Terra> "It came up in conversation?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We had an odd little conversation.
* Xanatos frowns. "Sera, you're beautiful. Any guy who said otherwise would be a moron. But I can't help but hold onto my feeling for Katrina. And...being with you, someone who used to be with my brother...I just feel like I am betraying him.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Sounds like it. You'd have had to be very brave to bring it up yourself."
<Seraphna> "...I had to learn this the hard way... you have to let her go... move on... they'd both want us to move on."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You make her sound like a monster. She's not that bad really. Just bring Serena around and she'll do anything to spite her.
<Xanatos> But Katrina isn't dead. She's still inside that body, and how can I garuntee you a relationship when the moment that Katrina popped up, I ran back to her? I've already did that to Erevis. I don't think I could do that to you.
<Alicia> <Terra> *laughs*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *Smiles, "Next time we're both in here i'll buy you a round. And don't worry, it wont be in hopes that you'll mount me like a wild beast or anything like that."* He stands and nods lightly* "Enjoy the rest of your night." *he moves to walk around her toward the exit*
<Seraphna> "...Please do... how can we know anything unless we try it...? I'd rather see this then never know and continue to be lonely... let's be lonely together..."
<Xanatos> Lonely together? That sounds like an oxymoron. *he says with a smile*
* Seraphna blushes a little, "...I guess... but... but we should try it... together."
* Xanatos just rubs his chin, clearly not so sure about this. "How about this...i'll think about it? I understand where you're coming from, but I can't just decide now. I really need to think this over."
* Seraphna nods softly
* Xanatos leans forward and pecks her softly on the lips. "I'll let you know soon, ok?"
* Seraphna returns the soft kiss, hugging him softly.
* Xanatos returns the hug. "How about you keep this between us until I decide?"
* Seraphna nods silently, her eyes searching his.
* Xanatos stares at her for a moment, his eyes warm. "Don't worry. You're going to be ok." he assures her before turning to leave.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *waits*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... are you still doing whatever it is you're doing?>
* Xanatos steps out of her room, he turns to move down the hall and his face falls to a frown.
* Seraphna looks down at the floor as the door closes, huddling up
* Seraphna stares down at the floor
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... Serena?>
<Seraphna> <Yeah...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... what is it, anyway?>
* Xanatos moves into his room, standing there in the darkness.
<Seraphna> <I... don't know yet...>
<Seraphna> <...kinda scared actually...>
<Xanatos> * Marcus just struts down the hallway, arms behind his back as he moves along.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <You don't know what you were just doing?!>
<Seraphna> <...in a way...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... so, who were you talking to?>
<Seraphna> <Xan... I guess you talked to Ere...?>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Not much. She said she talked to Xan.. she must've found out about him and Cheryl somehow... or he did something ELSE that's completely moronic...>
<Seraphna> <Like what...?>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <I don't know.>
* Seraphna moves to her bed, curling up in it, the ligths going out, she lays in darkness.
<DeathStar> NRP: You know, when you're fighting beings called Dark Ones, is it so wise to sit in the dark?
<Seraphna> NRP: SHe has a Death Star nightlight.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <So.. what were you talking about?>
<Seraphna> <Funny enough... mostly my problems...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <I... don't think Xan's the best person to ask for help...>
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<Seraphna> <Maybe not, but he makes a good guy to listen...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... well... maybe. I don't trust him, though, after what he did in the other world.>
<Seraphna> <I think I did worse...>
<Seraphna> <He attacked us... but it was my neglectt hat nearly got you killed sis...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Maybe, but you were fooled into it. Xan's actions were of his own design.>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... maybe he's just a moron...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... but he took FAR too much pleasure in that killing.>
<Seraphna> <It was another him... another version of us... I...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... I guess. Hey, in that case, I don't have to feel bad about kicking him in the head.>
<Seraphna> <Sis?>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Yeah?>
<Seraphna> <Thank you...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <*surprised* For what?>
* Seraphna huge her pillow
<Seraphna> *hugs
<Seraphna> <For making my darkness not so silent...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Well... alright...>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <You really can't bear to be alone, can you?>
* Seraphna whimpers in the dark.
<Seraphna> <...I...>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally, out of boredom or what not, goes back to her room
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <*sighs* Fine... I'll visit 'til you fall asleep.>
* Seraphna blinks, not having expected that
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *heads over* .oO(This is training...)

Session Close: Mon Mar 19 02:16:28 2007

Session Start: Mon Mar 19 21:06:45 2007
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070319.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.6.30
* Marcus has joined #taw
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
* Marcus is now known as Marcus`
* Xanatos stands in the hanger, arms crosses as he leans against the wall, his head is cocked back and he is staring up at the ceiling.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of the flight training sim, stretching out
* Seraphna is working in the hangar, going over shuttles.
* Xanatos mvoes his eyes over to look at Dias, then he glances ahead of him now, his face is tight, and it seems he has a bit on his mind.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva sits on some grass down in the garden, her eyes closed
* Xanatos exhales and glances at Dias again. "How'd you do?" he asks, referring to the sim.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I screwed 12 chicks. 6He waves his hand dismissively
<Xanatos> Congratulations. *he notes, moving his eyes to look at Sera*
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias follows his glance. "I didn't know you liked the elderly.
* Xanatos archs a brow and eyes Dias. "You know she is only 4 years older than you, right?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Looks can be deceiving.
* Xanatos shrugs. "Fair enough."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So, have you fucked her yet?
* Xanatos eyes Dias. "No. Not sure I will either."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands in the simulator room, watching a technician work on entering her parimeters. Siawase is on her right shoulder. Her clothing is horriblely miscolored, but she probably doesn't care.
<DeathStar> 6* Though Dias might think it's a good match
<Ariel> 6* Siawase watches the technician with an unnatural curiousity.
<Seraphna> NRP: Mouse broke, trying to fix z.z
* Arhn in the civilian district this day, sitting at a table of a sidewalk cafe...
<DeathStar> <Technician> Well, this should cover those parimeters you asked for. I put it under Erevis1 so you can have the computer draw it up. <Erevis> Thank you. 6She bows her head slightly. The technician turns to look at the cat eyeing him
<Ariel> 6* Siawase smiles a catlike smile.
* Marcus` says his goodbyes to a young couple and moves from their table to Arhn's. "Hello, my name is Marcus and i'll be your waiter. What can I get you to drink?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias disgs his finger in his ear, obviously going after some ear wax. "Why not?"
<Arhn> What manner of beverages do you have available here?
<DeathStar> <Technician> What a cute, uh, kitty.
<Marcus`> Well we have Water, Tea, and Soda. *he produces a menu and turns it over to show her the list of choices.*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you.
* Xanatos just shrugs. "She used to be close with my brother. I feel like I would be betraying him if I did."
<DeathStar> 6* The technician reaches out toward Siawase, as if to pet him
<Arhn> Tea then.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> i hear it's good to keep it in the family. 6He drops his hand, now scratching his ass.
<Ariel> 6* Siawase bites the technician's hand.
<DeathStar> <Techician> YeOW! Not a friendly fellow is he? 6He holds his hand, cradling it.
<Xanatos> Right...
* Marcus` nods, "Sweet or Unsweetened?"
* Seraphna notices Xan and smiles, waving a little.
* Xanatos just smiles and nods to her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Perhaps he does not desire to be touched.
<Arhn> Unsweetened.
<DeathStar> <Technician> I figured that. I'll, uh, leave you be. 6He hurries off, eyeing the cat.
<Ariel> 6* Siawase looks proud of himself.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh she so wants your penis Xan.
* Marcus` nods his head again and smiles. "I'll be right back then. Please take your time and decide what you want." He moves off, leaving Arhn for the moment.
* Arhn reads through the menu...
* Xanatos looks at Dias and frowns. "Is that all you care about?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands in the basketball court, bouncing a ball back and forth. She's wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a coat, since the tempature doesn't bother her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh I just have this great feeling that you'll do something stupid and I'll get entertainment out of this. You know...like try to date rape her.
* Seraphna smiles a little more and returns to her work, looking worried as she faces away
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves over to the sim controls, studying them quietly. She idlely pats Siawase on the head, as if reinforcing his biting habit
<Xanatos> I'll be sure to try that.
<Ariel> 6* Siawase purrs softly, gently flexing a metal paw.
* Marcus` returns with the tea and sets it down, pulling out a straw and setting it down on the table. "So are you ready to order?" He tilts his head, his eyes moves up and down Arhn, evaluating her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, I'm sure I'll need something new and different. Now go, entertain me.
* Xanatos shakes his head. "Go find someone to hit on, you're attitude is boring."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope works on his fighter, grabbing a wrench and making adjustments.
<Arhn> Do you have any recommendations? I fear that I am still not fully acquainted with Earth cuisine.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves back into the sim and ducks inside, stepping back outside again, holding a bag of popcorn. He moves over by Xan and begins munching on it, watching and waiting
* Marcus` nods his head lightly. "Most first timers try the Pasta." he notes, his eyes shift from the menu to her face, "Forgive me for asking, but where do you come from?"
* Xanatos eyes Dias. "Wow, were you saving that just for this?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Aye, you'd be surprised how well popcorn holds.
* Xanatos scratches his chin. "How's Cheryl by the way? I was going to go apologise but I figured it would just make things worse."
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Arhn> I am the Erusian ambassador. And I shall have the pasta.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL!
<DeathStar> NRP: I love those two lines together
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Apologizing couldn't hurt. 6He takes a handfull of popcorn, shoveling it into his mouth.
* DeathStar changes topic to 'The Alien Wars 4: PAX | Tuesday - 8 EST and Thursday - 8 EST | Season 9 "Galaxies": 22 of 26 completed | Episode 23: The Girl in Question | Episode 25 will be held Monday, March. 26th. Episode 26 will be Tuesday and begins at 7:00 EST  |<Arhn> I am the Erusian ambassador. And I shall have the pasta.'
<Xanatos> You're just saying that because you want to see her rip my head off and shove it up my ass.
* Marcus` smiles. "That's a pretty important title. I'll make sure the cooks know to make this Pasta the best you'll ever have tasted." He takes her menu and moves to place the order.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the layout of the simulator, then turns it off, deciding not to use it just now. She steps out and moves down to the Civilian Quarter for some lunch.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...6Pauses, tilting his head slightly. "That could be intersting."
* Seraphna has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<DeathStar> 6* A pair of hands wrap around Shiva's boobs from behind. "Guess who."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Either a very retarded idiot, or the luckiest man in the world.
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck. "Yeah well I'm hoping to let it settle down for a bit."
<DeathStar> 6* A cane comes into view and taps beside Shiva
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva opens her eyes, slowly standing up. She turns around as he fists clench.
* Seraphna continues working on the shuttles, seems little more then busywork though.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up both hands, dropping the cane. "PEace."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope yanks out some circuits and begins to rewire parts of his fighter.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just gives a wicked smile. "How did you know I had a thing for canes?"
<DeathStar> <John> Warren told me about that hot sex scene you two had before we got engaged.
* Marcus` returns after a moment with some rolls, placing them on the table. "So an Erusian Ambassador, eh? I don't think i've ever met a Erusian before."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into Marcus' little joint and takes a seat, shifting Siawase so he can rest on the table and study the menu with her.
<Arhn> There are only two of us on this ship.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Hot? It was actually awkward. Everytime I tried to get a good angle and his cane'd just slip.
<Marcus`> I guess that would explain why. *he nods with a frown* Well i'm very happy to meet you, i'm always excited to meet new people, I guess that is why I like this job so much.
<DeathStar> <John> Harsh.
* Xanatos eyes Dias and then sighs. "Yeah you suck." He turns and begins to walk over toward Sera.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> That's why I chose you. You got two strong legs.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, I got plenty of other strong qualities.
<Arhn> Ah...well...the other Erusian is my niece, Myria.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Thanks. 6He begins munching on the popcorn, following behind Xan.
* Seraphna doesn;t seem to notice him, busying herself on a panel
<Marcus`> Oh? You should bring her by sometime, I would love to meet her. *he says with a smile, he spots Erevis and arcs a brow* Excuse me just a moment I need to take this order. *he nods with a smile and moves over to Erevis* Hello, i'm Marcus and i'll be your waiter, what can I get you to drink?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva slides up close to John.
* Xanatos stops and turns to look at Dias. "Go bother someone else, now leave, scram." He motions for Dias to leave him alone.
* Arhn nods
<DeathStar> 6* John wraps an around around Shiva. "So...what's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?"
<DeathStar> (Arm)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up. "Tea."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just munches on his popcorn
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I like to come here to center myself.
* Marcus` moves off to get her drink, bringing it back and placing a straw on the table. "Do you need a moment or are you ready to order?"
<DeathStar> <John> You women and centering yourself.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well when you're constantly pounding me off balance.
<DeathStar> <John> I'm giving you zen, my dear.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You're screwing my feng shei.
<Xanatos> 20 credits to leave me alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shoots the ball, making the shot without much effort.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just takes another handfull and munches on it
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know what that is, but it sounds naughty. Want to show me in the bushes?
<Xanatos> 30?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would like the third special.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just slides her hand up John's chest and than grabs him by the collar and turns, dragging him to them
* Marcus` nods, smiling. "Coming right up." he glances down at the cat before turning and moving off to place the order.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Go get laid.
<Xanatos> Leave me alone you little shit. Jesus, go talk to Pope, i'm sure he's much more entertaining than me
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at Siaswase
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stands there.
<Xanatos> Oh jesus you're annoying. *he turns and moves to Sera now.* Hey Sera can we talk?
* Seraphna loks up, blushes a little, and nods.
* Marcus` returns, he places some rolls on Erevis table. "It'll be out in just a moment, do you need anything else?" His eyes move to Siawase again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Marcus`> Alright ma'am. Just let me know if you do...cute cat by the way.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly moves and grabs a work chair, sliding it 10ft away from Serena and Xan and sits on it, watching intently
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns her back to the hoop, then shoots it over her head, scoring.
<Ariel> 6* Siawase watches Marcus warily. A hunter's look in his eyes.
* Marcus` nods his head with a smile. Arcing a brow at the cat once more before turning and moving to get Arhn's Pasta, bringing it back out to her and placing it on the table.
<Xanatos> Away from this moron. *he motions to Dias*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just waves at Xan as he munches.
<Arhn> Thank you.
* Marcus` bows slightly. "Please, i'd like to see if you enjoy it or not."
* Seraphna nods and leads him out of the hangar
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops off the stool and drags it out after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps onto the observation deck, sitting down.
* Arhn samples the pasta.
* Xanatos moves with her, shaking his head. "So annoying..."
* Marcus` looks hopeful. "And?"
* Seraphna nods and heads into the officer decks, and to her room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis wiggles the straw at Siaswase, seeing if he wants to play like she read cats do
<Arhn> It is new to me, but I approve.
* Marcus` smiles. "Excellent. Well I guess i'll let you get back to your meal, if you need anything, even some company, just give me a call. That is what i'm paid for."
* Seraphna closes the door behind them and takes a seat.
* Xanatos places his ear against the door, listening for Dias.
<Arhn> Thank you.
* Seraphna shakes her head and pulls oemthing out of her drawers, she sets it on the table and turns it on, signing, "We're good."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops outside the door, munching again
* Xanatos turns and begins to sign. "So...how have you been?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bounces the ball off the wall and makes the shot
* Marcus` smiles and moves off, walking back in to get Erevis' meal. He returns with it soon, placing it on the table. "Is there anything else you need?"
<Seraphna> *There's no sound from inside the room, if anyone tries to listen.
* Seraphna signs, "I've been okay."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. 6She stops wiggling the straw, sensing that Siawase doesn't want to play. She picks up her fork.
* Marcus` nods his head. "Enjoy your meal and give me a yell if you need me for anything."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grows bored and hops off the chair, settng it down sideways infront of her door so someone will trip on it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will.
* Xanatos nods his head, "I guess you're probably wondering what i've decided?"
* Seraphna nods hesitantly
* Marcus` bows slightly and steps off to attend to another customer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias wanders through the hallways and stops outside the gym, peeking in as he spots Cheryl
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck, "Well...you don't know how much I just want to give in...but i'm really struggling to get past the Kane part."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be playing basketball by using the walls instead of just shooting
* Seraphna shakes her head, she signs, "You forget, he broke up with me, left me."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps inside, watching intently
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can I help you? 6She turns, catching a rebound.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eats her food quietly and thoroughly.
<Xanatos> Now we shouldn't go into that. He loved you, maybe even more than Ceil, and being with you makes me feel like I would be betraying him.
* Seraphna shakes her head again, "...He'd want us both to be happy."
* Xanatos frowns and glances up at the ceiling. "Don't you know the rule? When your friend breaks up with a girl you are supposed to never go after that girl. Least not and still claim to be his friend."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Xan's bored me already, but I'm sure he's doing something momentualy retarded right now.
* Seraphna frowns too, apparently she disagrees with this rule.
* Marcus` stands off to the side, waiting for a new customer or for one of his current ones to need him.
* Seraphna signs, almost a little too firmly, "I really think we should try..."
<DeathStar> <Chery> ... 6She lets out a breath, rolling the ball from hand to hand. "Is that so."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, I think him and granny are gonna hump.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lovely. They deserve each other.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses the ball into the corner, shoving her hands into her leather coat and stepping past Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Are you snubbing me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Snubbing you?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, less than 5 minutes of talking to you and you're walking off...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bored with this scene.
* Xanatos eyes Sera. "I'm just not so sure this is the right timing. I'm going through alot right now."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh...Where do you plan on going?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> My room.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Your room? 6He eyes Cheryl oddly. "You ok?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. I just want to go to my room.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh...Well than go...
* Seraphna signs, "It might be the best timing, we both need someone."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, indeed, goes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes eating, then puts down the apppropriate credits for the meal, and the tip. She picks up Siawase and places him on her shoulder, then gets up.
<Marcus`> Enjoy your day, dear. *he says politely, moving over to take the money and clean off the table.*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs and moves over to the basketball, picking it up and bouncing it
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck. "I'm just not sure I could make you happy."
<Chad`Winters> AYe.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Scratch that
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow at the name he designated to call her, but just moves out and back for her room.
* Seraphna signs, "We will not know till we try."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias keeps bouncing the ball than grabs it and shoots it at the basket, missing.
* Xanatos frowns again. "My heart belongs to another. And I don't want to hurt you anymore than what you have been."
* Seraphna shakes her head, starting to cry a little, "This would hurt me more..."
* Seraphna wipes her eyes, trying to be calm
<Xanatos> So you would allow a relationship to happen even though you know that I could never love you as much as them?
* Seraphna signs, "Time changes everything."
* Seraphna signs, "I believe... with time... we could become more."
<Seraphna> "I'd rather have some of your love, then none at all..."
<Xanatos> I"m telling you this right now Sera. You could never replace them in my heart. I can't pretend you can. Sure i'll give this a shot, but you need to know that I would really advise against this because in the end you'll probably just get your heart broken again.
* Arhn has left #taw
* Marcus` finishes with his shift and leaves the cafe, moving back towards his place.
* Seraphna signs, "Happiness never came without risks."
* Xanatos nods his head. "Alright then, I warned you."
* Seraphna smiles softly and signs, "We all know how I never listen to those."
* Xanatos grins. "You said it. Not me."
* Seraphna stands up and blushes, pausing as if trying to think what to do.
<Xanatos> So a movie? *he motions to her collection*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to the training room, working on her sword techniques.
* Seraphna blinks and looks over at them, nodding, moving over to select one
* Xanatos rubs his shoulder, standing there ackwardly.
* Marcus` steps back out of his room and makes his way along the hallway. Looking for something to do.
* Seraphna selects one and pops it in, going to settle herself down on her bed.
* Xanatos moves over and sits down on the bed. "Another sci fi?" he makes a face.
* Seraphna sticks her tounge out at him
<DeathStar> 6* John steps out of the bushes, wearing his shirt inside out
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leaves Siawase, naturally, on a mat where he can watch and be a cat. She goes through the motions, visualizing her opponent.
* Marcus` sits in the garden, his glances over at John, arcing his brow.
<DeathStar> <John> There's no tigers back there, good citizen. 6He walks off.
* Xanatos jsut stares, then shakes his head.
<Xanatos> I don't get this stuff.
* Marcus` watches John go, then looks back towards the bushes. He sniffs once. "Sure sounded like a tiger..."
* Seraphna smiles and snugs him a bit, turning on her comms, "...THink of it like a pilot movie."
<Chad`Winters> Shiva steps out moments later, adjusting her top.
<Marcus`> Now that looks like a tiger. *he notes, glancing down to play with the stem of grass in his hand*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Excuse me? 6She looks over at Marcus, a taunting tone in her voice.
* Marcus` glances up. "Ooops I must've spoken too loud." he notes, a frown on his face.
* Xanatos eyes her. "I just think movies are boring. Why pretend to be something when you could go out there and actually do it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps forward, slashing once, then parries her invisible opponent, stepping back.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm sure it was really on accident. 6She walks towards him now.
* Marcus` tilts his head, his eyes moving up and down her person. "Wow." He says simply.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You like what you see? 6She slides up close to him now.
* Marcus` lingers his eyes on her for a moment. "I do not tell a lie, and I can say that guy that was fighting those tigers must be one lucky fella."
<Xanatos> well it's no fun if you don't argue with me. *he says with a frown*
* Seraphna hmms and seems to think
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Would you...6She slides in right upto him, tracing her fingers along his face. "Like to show me how you fight a tiger?"
<Seraphna> "...Well, I like the technology, seeing how people in the past viewed tech today."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes her training regiment.
<Xanatos> But they had it all wrong really. How is that interesting?
* Marcus` stares at Shiva for a moment. "You're dangerous." He notes finally.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> That's why I'm a tiger. 6She pulls her hands back and turns, walking away now.
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "Damn, that man is either blessed. Or cursed. I just can't figure out which."
<Seraphna> "...Well, when I look at these things, I see the aesthetics, the ideals that mankind had years ago, compare it to how we sepculate now, it helps me dream up new designs."
<Xanatos> Well I guess I understand then. *he frowns, tilting his head as he eyes the primitive use of special effects* But i'm bored now. I was kinda hoping you wouldn't pick another Sci Fi movie.
* Marcus` pulls himself up to his feet, and dusts himself of. "Just where the hell is everyone." He asks himself, moving out into the hallway.
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Slasher-FastAsleep has joined #taw
* Seraphna smiles and thinks, "...How are you with fantasy?"
* Xanatos makes a strange face. "Well...the only fantasy I know about..."
* Seraphna blinks, "...Swords and Dragons, hun."
* Xanatos archs a brow. "Ohhhh...I was thinking..." he looks from the bed to her.
* Seraphna blinks innocently, "...Huh?"
* Xanatos scratches his head. "I'm confused."
* Seraphna looks confused too, she gets up and pops in a classic fantasy movie, taking a seat on the bed.
* Xanatos stares at the screen, tilting his head. "Where are the guns?"
<Seraphna> "This one actually has a few, you'll see them later on..."
* DeathStar is now known as DS_Sleeps
* Xanatos eyes the screen, then glances at Sera. "You do know that i'm braindamaged and I have the attention span of a child, right
<Xanatos> ?"
* Seraphna puts his arm around her and smiles, "...Well, what would you like to do?"
* Xanatos arcs a brow and looks her up and down. "I have no idea." He says in an airy tone.
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Seraphna sits up, kissing him gently, "...Not on the first date hun..."
* Xanatos accepts the kiss and returns it. "And people called you fowl names." he shakes his head, grinning. "Guess they were wrong.
* Seraphna blushes and smiles softly
* Xanatos kisses her once more. "Then I guess I may just have to suck it up and watch the movie." He says as he pulls back, smiling and reposition himself to get comfortable.
* Seraphna blushes and gets comfy too, relaxing a good deal more
<Xanatos> -End-
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
* Alicia has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Alicia
Session Close: Tue Mar 20 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Tue Mar 20 19:54:37 2007
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070320.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 585-7.1
<DeathStar> Location: A City on Earth
<DeathStar> 6* It's a nice, quiet day --- people are walking up and down the sidewalks. Everything seems at peace and harmony. Suddenly, a red sports car comes flying over the hill and smacks down roughly onto the street, nearly running over an old woman pushing a buggy. John woots, glancing at Michiru who is in the passenger seat. "Did you see that?!"
<Alicia> <Michiru> *glances over*
<DeathStar> 6* John hits the gas in response, zooming the car faster down the hill. He swerves like a mad man around a car, nearly crashing into another one head on before he cuts back into the lane. He grinds wider and sees if he can max out the speed on the busy street.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Shouldn't you be more careful...?"
* Alicia is now known as Michiru
<DeathStar> <John> Hell, we're not going to beat the time. Here, lets take a shortcut. 6He grabs the wheel and swerves off the street through a "BRIDGE NOT FINISHED" warning sign, speeding along toward the bridge.
* Michiru stares. "But, it's not finished!"
<DeathStar> <John> Don't worry. We'll jump it!
<DeathStar> 6* John speeds toward the huge, gaping hole in the bridge, which no car could ever jump
<Michiru> "It's too far!"
<DeathStar> <John> *narrows eyes* No, it's just right.
<Michiru> "You'll crash!"
<DeathStar> <John> We'll make it!
* Michiru stares, disbelievingly
<DeathStar> 6* The car zooms right off the edge of the bridge, flying through the air, then plummets straight into the ocean.
<Michiru> "... see."
<DeathStar> 6* The simulator ends, leaving John and Michiru sitting on chairs, wearing sim suits
<DeathStar> <John> Meh. The sim just didn't realize I could make it.
<Michiru> "... please don't test that..."
<DeathStar> 6* John pulls off the simulator outfit. "I don't know. I think we should go back to Earth and test it right now."
<Michiru> "NOOOO!"
* Seraphna smiles softly, sitting off to one side, having been watching the monitors.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Dominick, filling in for Peacemaker on her day off, pulls back on the fluids in the shot. "Well, this should be your final treatment for the radiation, ARiel."
<DeathStar> 6* He turns to glance at her, standing in med bay wearing a white lab coat.
* Michiru carefully removes the sim outfit
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
<DeathStar> 6* John stretches. "Well, I'm suppose to meet up with Shiva in the garden in twenty minutes so she can discuss the layout for the wedding ceremony. And I wanted to talk to Dias beforehand."
* Ariel nods slowly. "Is there any long term complications I should expect?" She's not too fond of needles.
* Marcus` has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Well, some patients experience dizziness, and sometimes have difficulty thinking. It may affect your Dragoon bond a little, but I expect it to be temporary.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps onto the bridge with files and folders for Cassandra.
* Seraphna taps her comms, "...Hungry Michiru?"
<DeathStar> 6* John sends a page to Dias to meet him near the gardens.
* Ariel nods again. "It has been a long time since I've had a... partner. I doubt the rest could be worse than suffering from the radiation."
* Xanatos sits in the security room, staring at the monitors, arms crossed and legs propped up. Since Cass reassigned him.
* Michiru nods to Sera
<Cassandra`> What do you have for me? *sitting in her chair*
<Seraphna> "...Wanna grab a bite to eat then?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around as he his datapad beeps. He than scratches his head. "Who just beeped at me?!"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Well, let me know if there's any other side effects. If you can't sense your fellow Dragoons, it may be a side affect and we can work to correct it. 6He takes her arm, giving her the shot.
<Michiru> "Please."
* Michiru smiles
* Seraphna smiles and gets up, "...Where to, your choice."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs a guy walking buy. "Did you just beep at me?!"
<Michiru> "The cafe?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I went through the civilian personnel files and records. I selected those who are most likely to adjust to being in the military if we draft them.
<DeathStar> <Officer> Try your datapad.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at him than grabs his datapad, eyeing it. "Oh..."
* Seraphna nods and smiles, leading her off to the market.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick takes a seat, crossing an arm over his lap. "Tell me, how has your mental health been lately?"
<Ariel> "My mental health?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad sits down in engineering, bouncing a ball back and forth between his hands as he stares at some data readings.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Some patients experience depression due to the medication.
* Michiru heads off to the market with Sera
<DeathStar> 6* John heads for the gardens.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hands over the files.
* Ariel nods. "I wouldn't say I have been without my... problems, but nothing I could blaim on the medication."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Anything you'd like to discuss?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias fidgets around with his datapad than hits it against the wall, managing to access the page. He just stares at it blinking.
* Seraphna heads into the cafe, leading her to a seat and grabbing some menus for them. "...So how are you?"
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in the training room, doing pull ups on a bar.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva rests on the grass, laying down with her hands behind her head as she stares up at the cieling.
* Marcus` slides up to the table. "Well hello." he says with a smile, looking from Michiru to Sera.
<Michiru> "Hi!"
* Seraphna smiles to him, "...Hello!"
<Cassandra`> Let's see... *looks throught the files*
<Marcus`> So what can I get you ladies to drink?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps over to glance at the various readings of the ship.
* Ariel pauses. "Things have been complicated. But they are my issues. I can deal with them on my own." She hesitates, "No offense, doctor."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> None taken. If you change your mind, feel free to drop by.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Well, you can go. Try not to push yourself too hard today.
* Xanatos releases a yawn, slowly moving his eyes over the monitors. "..."
* Chad`Winters catches the ball and tosses it against the floor, it bounces off and against the wall and back into his hand.
<DeathStar> <Pilot> Whoa, hey. 6He adjusts the PAX as it comes out of a quick jump
* Seraphna hmmms in her odd little way and points out some juice she'd like.
<Cassandra`> Adjusting quickly is what we need. What is it?
* Ariel nods, "Thank you."
<DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms, waiting for Dias.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sits quietly in the bar, idly drinking... a soda*
<DeathStar> <Pilot> An asteroid field. Caught me by surprise.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the garden, resting his hands behind his head as he moves through it
* Marcus` nods and glances at Michiru, arcing a brow.
<DeathStar> 6* John catches Dias before he enters, then, since he told him near the garden. "Hey, Dias."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick nods. "Quite welcome." 6He moves over to do some paperwork.
* Michiru picks out some juice for herself too, unless Sera was ordering for her
* Seraphna smiles, letting her order for herself of courswe
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. 6He glances at the sensors, then shifts some.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Captain Arakawa.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops, turning to see John. "Yo."
<DeathStar> 6* John shoves his hands into his pockets. "What's up?"
* Ariel heads out, and starts to just idly walk. No destination in mind.
* Seraphna ajusts her jacket, it's a leather flight jacket.
* Marcus` bows his head and moves off to gather their drinks.
<Cassandra`> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Warren> A moment. 6He motions at the sensors.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not much. 6He glances around. "I gotta page to meet you here. What did you want?"
<DeathStar> <John> Yeaaah. I wanted to ask you for a favor.
* Seraphna smiles and signs to her, "So, how are you feeling lately?"
* Cassandra` moves over to look at the sensors.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Favor...I'm not going to con a guy out of his porno collection again.
<DeathStar> <John> Something serious.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't do criminal acts anymore.
* Marcus` returns with their drinks and places them on the table. "So what would you ladies like to eat?"
<Michiru> "I'm good.. I like that things are calming down again."
<DeathStar> <John> You know what, fuck it. What was I thinking wanting you to be my best man.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stops, staring at him blankly. "What's...what's that?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> These asteroids have some minerals used in our fuel consumption. We're not in dangerous need of it, but we don't know how long we'll be out here. We could teleport out some mining crews while we're in the area. Gather some surplus material.
<DeathStar> <John> Nothing. Look, forget it. 6He goes to step into the garden
<Cassandra`> Sensible. I'll authorize the mining expedition.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very good.
* Seraphna nods, signing more, "I hope so."
* Michiru smiles and nods
* Xanatos glances at the time and then looks up as another security member steps into the room. "Ah good, I was getting hungry." He says, holding up a hand to wave bye as he steps out and moves down the hallway toward the mess hall.
* Marcus` looks between the two of them, arcing a brow. "Don't mind me." He says lightly, awaiting their order.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches the back of his head. "This best man thing? It's obviously important. I can do it."
<Cassandra`> Hmmm...how self-sufficient are we otherwise?
* Seraphna pauses to think on something, then looks over Michiru a little, signing, "So what do you want to do with your future?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> We could use some fresh water if we ever come across it. Right now we have a good four months worth of materials.
<DeathStar> 6* John turns to face him. "Look. It had to do with the wedding. The groom picks his friend to be the best man. To hold the ring and all that shit."
<Michiru> "I.. don't know..."
* Seraphna smiles, signing more, "Well are you good anything? Want to learn to do something?"
* Marcus` frowns, "Call me when you need me." He says, moving away from them.
<Cassandra`> Four months to find a lake then.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Essentially.
<Michiru> "I think we're supposed to order first."
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at him, a look of shock on his face. "I...You'ld..." 6He plops down on his ass. "I'd...be honored."
* Cassandra` nods.
<DeathStar> <John> Really? 6He relaxes.
* Seraphna has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tilts his head as an alarm warning goes off, warning about possible failure in some of the engine systems. "Hm. That looks serious. I'll get Chad and Serena on it." 6He grabs his datapad and sends out the orders
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah...I think I can do it...So is there like a best woman than?
<DeathStar> <John> Well, Shiva will pick out a bride's maid, her version of the best woman.
* Marcus` scratches the back of his neck. "You ready?" He asks Michiru.
* Seraphna smiles and points out a light salad for herself.
* Michiru looks through the menu, ordering something sweet
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna's datapad beeps.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Do I get to have sex with her? 6He tilts his head slightly.
<DeathStar> <John> You can try. You can try.
* Xanatos pulls his arms behind his head, moving along the halls. His eyes moves over and he slows to a stop. He lingers there for a moment, staring at Erevis, before resuming his walk.
* Seraphna looks down at it.
* Chad`Winters eyes his datapad as he catches the ball he looks at it than stands up, hooking the datapad back on his belt. He heads do the engine room.
* Marcus` nods and begins writing it down, glancing at Sera. "You still going to be needing that salad?"
* Seraphna shakes her head
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *quietly wanders the halls*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait...does she even have any best friends?
* Seraphna sighs quietly and looks apologetically at Michi.
<DeathStar> <John> I... really don't know. Lets go ask her. She's inside, planning out the wedding layout. 6He motions for Dias to follow him and steps into the garden.
* Seraphna signs, "Engine is having problems, I gotta go save the ship it seems."
<Cassandra`> I want a report on what's going on down there.
* Marcus` scratches it out and glances at Sera. "Say, when you get a free chance, would you like to go out for some drinks?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias heads in with him
<DeathStar> <Warren> Understood. Thankfully, if we're going to be stuck here, it won't interfere with the mining teams.
* Michiru looks to Sera, then Marcus
* Seraphna blinks at Marcus, blushing a little.
<Marcus`> Figure I could make up for the way I acted the other night. *he explains*
* Seraphna pulls out her comms, "...I'd be happy to later."
* Seraphna stands, "...You gonna be okay here Michi?"
<DeathStar> <John> So, Shiva, how big is this wedding getting in your head?
<Michiru> "Yeah. I'll be fine."
<Seraphna> "...Alright, I'm sorry about this, how about ice cream later?"
<Michiru> "Okay!"
* Marcus` nods his head. "Excellent." He steps back to make the order for michiru.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Turns on her side, and looks at John. "I still can't picture the right dress for Warren to wear.
* Seraphna smiles and heads down to the engine room.
<DeathStar> <John> You really should consider a real bride's maid, dear.
<Cassandra`> Though I would like the option to beat a hasty retreat if needed.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad would reach the area. There's bad sounds coming from behind a panel. Must be something wrong.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, if Sera and Chad can't fix it, then we should fire them.
<Cassandra`> Out the airlock... *moves back into her seat*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Doable. 6He nods.
* Chad`Winters reaches into his tact pouch and pulls out a tool he stands to the side of the panel and begins to unfasten it.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *quietly eyes Xanatos for a moment, then walks on*
* Seraphna steps in, looking over at Chad as she does, "...Problem down there?"
* Xanatos slides to a stop, glancing back at Kyouki. "There something wrong?"
<Chad`Winters> Unless this noise is normal for something you built, than yes.
<DeathStar> 6* The panel is removed, revealing a crawl space into the chamber
* Seraphna listens and shakes her head, "...Nope."
<Chad`Winters> Than don't ask stupid questions. 6He puts his tool away and grabs a small flashlight, climbing in quickly.
* Marcus` returns with Michi's sweet treat. "Here you go." He presents it to her. "So she kinda just left you, huh?"
* Seraphna moves after him.
* Michiru nods. "It's not unusual for her, is it?"
<DeathStar> 6* They reach the chamber. Currents of power seem to be skipping from one junction point to the next, as if there's a break.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just gags at the thought of Warren being a bridges maid
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You really think so?
<DeathStar> <John> Well, the wedding is coming up soon.
<Seraphna> "...Nope, not good... one of the wires must have come loose or frayed."
<Marcus`> Yep. *he sits down across from her, not having any other customers at the moment* So are you some important figure on this boat as well?
<DeathStar> <Warren> The first mining team is ready to be beamed over. 6He informs Cassandra.
* Chad`Winters glances around, then climbs over to a shut off spot. 1"Captain obvious, nothing get's by you does it?
<Cassandra`> Proceed.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Proceed. 6He says into the comm.
<Michiru> "Well.. sortof. I'm Michiru McCormick. John's daughter."
<Seraphna> "...Nope, never."
<Marcus`> John? *he tilts his head*
* Seraphna watches the currents as Chad moves to shut it off, hoping to catch the break point.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chad reaches, and the teleport activates, a surge of energy that should not have occurred - occurs. And zaps him, then Sera, frying them
* Michiru blinks. "You don't know John McCormick?"
* Seraphna mutely screams in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Oddly enough, Sera screams for real. And it sounds like Chad's voice.
* Marcus` scratches his chin, obviously thinking. "Nope."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But he'd look so beautiful in a dress.
<DeathStar> <John> Shiva. 6He touches her hand. "You really need to think of somene."
<Seraphna> "...What the..."
<Michiru> "... the XO?"
* Chad`Winters moves his hand upto his head, coughing as he runs his hand through his hair
* Seraphna looks over at... herself?
<Marcus`> ...oh he's one of those people. I didn't care enough to read about the higher ups. I was just worried about who my manager would be here.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva looks up at him, a look of slight confusion on her face.
<Michiru> ".. oh."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And make sure he's hot...and easy preferably
* Seraphna grabs... his? comms, and calls medlab.
<DeathStar> 6* The comm is fried.
<Marcus`> Wait a minute...how old are you?
<Seraphna> "...Shit..."
* Chad`Winters pauses touching his face, than stops, feeling around more. He moves to swear and nothing comes out.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hey, the problem in engineering is fixed.
* Xanatos just shrugs as Kyouki keeps going, he resumes his walk, moving into the mess hall, getting something to eat and sitting down to begin eating.
<DeathStar> <John> What?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *glances at Xanatos, shrugs, and goes back to her drink*
<Seraphna> "...Chad, relax a little... I think we somehow... switched bodies..."
* Chad`Winters looks over at and see's his body over there, a look of major disapointment on his face.
<Michiru> <Terra> *heads into the bar shortly after Xan*
<Seraphna> "You won't know how to control the beta unit yet to talk either... great..."
<Cassandra`> Any idea what it was?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nope.
* Xanatos throws up a hand to Setsuna. "Yo." He says before taking a bite out of his sandwich. Then glances at Terra, nodding to her as well.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Hey."
<Seraphna> "Come on... let's get to a comms."
* Chad`Winters just grunts and pushes himself up and begins crawling back out
* Seraphna moves out after... her...
* Xanatos swallows the food. "Hows it going?"
<Michiru> "Hmm? I'm fourteen... though I'm from the future, so I haven't been born yet..."
<DeathStar> 6* John lets go, just staring at her staring at him with a confused face
* Marcus` just stares at her, his mouth slightly agap.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Touch me again.
* Seraphna is now known as C`Winters
<DeathStar> <John> Sure. 6John grabs her boob.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Seraphna`
* Michiru laughs a bit. "... You're not used to the weirdness yet, are you?"
* C`Winters goes over to an emergency comms unit and contacts medical. "We umm... have a situation here."
<Marcus`> ....You look like your 18. *he finally gets out, seems the future bit didn't bother him*
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick grabs the comm. "Yes, what is it?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Aren't you on duty?"
* Michiru giggles a bit. "I guess I am pretty mature for my age."
<Xanatos> Me? *he tilts his head to look at Setsuna*
* Seraphna` pats around her waist, trying to find her datapad
<C`Winters> "...We've had a bit of a mixup, something went wrong in the power chambers and well..."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Mmmmhm
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> I...6She quickly stands up, kissing John deeply.
<C`Winters> "This is Sera... and Chad's here... as me..."
<Seraphna`> <Dias> AKWARD!
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks, returning the kiss.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...no, the easter bunny."
* Marcus` rubs his shoulder, nervously. "Well I just feel like a total perv." He frowns, "Sorry about that."
* Xanatos glances around, as if looking for the actual easter bunny.
<Cassandra`> *comm* Engineering, this is the captain. What happened down there?
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> 6Pulls back. "I can feel you...I mean feel you.
<Michiru> <Terra> *just laughs*
<DeathStar> <John> Feel me?
<C`Winters> "...There's kinda been an accident."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Go on.
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Your emotions, I can feel them John.
* C`Winters has two channels open now, sighing.
<DeathStar> <John> My emotions? but no one can feel my emotions.
<C`Winters> "Look... can you get a medical team down here?"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> It'll help if you tell me the nature of the problem, Chad.
* C`Winters of course may have Chad's voice but sounds different through mannerism.
* Xanatos finally just smiles and shakes his head. "No, i'm not." He glances at Terra. "How's the training coming?"
<C`Winters> "I'm not Chad, I'm Sera."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Oh yes. I see. You are Serena.
* Seraphna` just groans loudly.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick hangs up.
* C`Winters sighs
<C`Winters> "Oh and how would you handle it?"
<Cassandra`> *comm* ...an...accident?
<Michiru> <Terra> "Pretty well."
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Your adoration, your love, your confusion...I felt it John.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *nods with a shrug*
<DeathStar> <John> But--- ARRGGHHHH. 6He suddenly grabs his head.
* Seraphna` makes a gun with his hand and points it at his head and pulls an imaginary trigger.
* C`Winters grabs the comm again, "Yes, something with the power, it really screwed us up..."
<C`Winters> "And no Chad you're not doing that in my damn body."
<Xanatos> Finally getting the whole shooting aspect down? I noticed you weren't experience with that.
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva quickly grabs John. "What's going on?!"
<Seraphna`> <Dias> John?
<DeathStar> <John> My head...is...on FIRE! 6He howls, blood running down from his nose.
<Cassandra`> *comm* How did it screw you up?
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Oh my god..oh my god!
<Michiru> <Terra> "Yeah, it took some practice, but I think I've got it down now."
<C`Winters> "Chad and... Sera and... look we switched bodies somehow."
* Xanatos nods his head, "Good. You already had skill. I knew it wouldn't take you long."
<Seraphna`> 6She quickly calls medbay. "We have an emergency in the garden, somethings going on with John.
<Cassandra`> *comm* ... ... ...excuse me...switched...bodies...?
<DeathStar> <Dominick> What's wrong with John?
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> He's in pain, his head, and bloods coming out of his nose.
<Seraphna`> 6Dias moves over to John, staring at him, a look of worry on his face.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I see. I'm dispatching units your way. 6He does so, then gets up to ready a medical room.
<Michiru> "I wonder how John's doing."
<DeathStar> 6* John twitches, holding his head.
<Marcus`> Huh? Why is something wrong?
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> There on their way John, hold on. 6She rests her hands on his head.
<C`Winters> "That's exactly what I'm saying..."
<Michiru> "And... I guess it's okay.. no, I don't think anything's wrong..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the medical bloop. "We have a problem, Captain."
* Seraphna` rubs her temples than turns, making his way to medbay quickly
* C`Winters heads after her with the comms.
<Cassandra`> What else is happening...?
* Marcus` tilts his head. "So you're from the future, eh? That's pretty interesting."
<DeathStar> <Warren> John.
<Cassandra`> Report...
<Michiru> "That's right."
<DeathStar> <Warren> A medical unit is heading to pick him up. Something to do with his head.
<Marcus`> Was it some post apocalyptic future or just a regular old one?
<Cassandra`> Any idea if its to do with her implant...?
<Cassandra`> NRP: his
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *wanders towards the pair* "Hey Ser..e... nevermind."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Too early to tell.
* C`Winters looks to Kyo, blinking a bit, "What?"
<Cassandra`> Well..Sera and Chad...have evidently swotched bodies.
<DeathStar> 6* A medical team arrives in the garden, lifting John up onto a stretcher and giving him a shot for the pain.
* Xanatos continues to eat his sandwich, glances from Setsuna to Terra. "So why aren't you ladies working?"
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> There on their way honey, just...just bear it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Really? ... That's nice.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Ah, nothing..." *looks a little confused
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Busy drinking."
<Michiru> <Terra> "Drinking's good."
<Xanatos> Aren't you afraid you'll get on Cass' bad side? *he arcs a brow*
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva and Dias quickly follow John.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Aren't you?"
<DeathStar> 6* The medical unit lifts him up as he calms down, heading for the medical bay.
* C`Winters arrives at medical with... errr... Sera.
* Seraphna` steps into the medbay, glancing around
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *follows the pair, curious now."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick readies the equipment.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll go to medical bay. Get a feel for the situation. 6He steps out.
* Seraphna` crosses her arms, standing exactly like Chad.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "What's going on?"
<Xanatos> I'm already on it. *he says with a shrug* Besides, i'm off for the day. I had a early start.
* C`Winters sighs, standing in the lazy sort of fashion Sera would, trying to get used to ...his bigger form.
<C`Winters> "How the hell do you live with all this extra mass..."
<Cassandra`> This day just gets better and better...
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick eyes Chad.
* C`Winters blushes at Dom.
<DeathStar> 6* John is carted into the medical bay. Dominick motions them into a private room.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sighs* "I'm not on duty, so don't interupt my soda."
* Seraphna` signs to Chad. 1"..."
<Xanatos> Ouch. So Icey.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick steps into the private room. He glances. "Only one of you can come in." 6He points at Shiva, since she's engaged.
<Michiru> <Terra> *shrugs a bit, taking a bite out of her food*
<C`Winters> "...How did you just manage that? I've never been able to SIGN a pause before."
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva moves in, Dias just stopping outsid ethe door.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the medical bay.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick shuts the door and begins to do a full body scan of John.
* Seraphna` quickly signs. 1"I'm better than you, obviously.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Seraphna.
<C`Winters> "Psh... well I've only known it for a short time..."
* Xanatos tilts his head at Terra. Then moves his head to takes his last bite.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches over and pats Sera's ass.
<C`Winters> "Hey..."
* C`Winters eyes Warren.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *glances to Seraphna`*
* Seraphna` turns slugging whoever touched his ass.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is hit in the jaw. He rotates it.
<Michiru> NRP: AGH, it's so hard to say which one it is
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes, it is Chad.
* C`Winters blinks visibly. "You just hit Warren!"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I could've told you that."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"I feel violated, and not because you touched me ass."
<DeathStar> <Warren> My method felt better.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *punches Chad in the face. The Chad in Sera's body*
<C`Winters> "Did it? I thought;.. HEY STOP THAT!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Kyouki
<C`Winters> "That's my body you're punching!"
<DeathStar> 6* John groans, opening his eyes as the scan continues.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... sorry... but it'll heal."
* Marcus` glances down at the time. "I get off pretty soon. Do you need me to walk you anywhere?"
* Seraphna` takes the hit, grunting in response, he signs. 1"Well that was slightly rewarding.
<DeathStar> <Warren> So, tell me, Chad. Do you want to talk about your feelings?
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Yuck it up asshole."
<Xanatos> I'm glad the day has been boring so far. It's been so odd around here lately. *He says idly*
<DeathStar> <Warren> That outfit makes you look fat.
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> What's wrong with him?
<C`Winters> "It does not"
<DeathStar> <Warren> See?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *just starts laughing*
* C`Winters growls
* Seraphna` signs. 1"I could go eat a bunch of fatty foods."
<C`Winters> "No."
<DeathStar> <Warren> You could get body piercings, too
<C`Winters> "Don't you even."
<C`Winters> "..."
<C`Winters> "You people are jsut cruel."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Want to have sex?"
* C`Winters gapes
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tempting.
<C`Winters> "Chad, keep this up..."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"You can do whatever you want."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *blinks*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, if you insist.
<C`Winters> "No!"
* Seraphna` moves to begn taking off her clothes
<C`Winters> "nuh uh!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... I'm sorry I ever thought you were easy, Serena."
* C`Winters moves to stop her, "Quit it!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. I expected to feel more. I guess I could try to picture you in the body instead.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick says nothing at first, then studies the scans. "Hrm."
* Seraphna` pauses looking at Chad than signs. 1"I think I'm dieing slowly inside.
<DeathStar> <Warren> That's PMS.
<C`Winters> "What?"
* Marcus` eyes Michiru. "Are you ok?"
<C`Winters> "No I don't get PMS..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits down, not having been this entertained since the pills.
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Is it going to kill me?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<C`Winters> "What the hell..."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Thank god, the pain will end.
* C`Winters rubs his face.
<Seraphna`> 6Dias just stares, confused as hell. 1"What the hell is granny waving her hands about for?!"
<Ariel> 6* Siawase watches the harassment from on top of a shelf. Escapee kitten. He grins as he watches their dispair.
<Michiru> "I'm fine, I was just thinking."
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> What!?
<DeathStar> <Dominick> The chip is malfuctioning.
<Marcus`> Something wrong?
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> What's going ot happen to him?!
<C`Winters> "Look... what else was going on when that power surge hit us?"
<Michiru> "Not really, but I'm not supposed to say too much about the future."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Well, the chip is damaging the brain tissue. It appears to have been damaged.
* Xanatos taps the table, thinking. "I think I need to find a habit." He notes with a bored tone.
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Than take it out!
<DeathStar> <John> We can't take it out! The Dark Ones cna't sense me.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Commander, if we don't take it out, you'll be brain dead. And yes, we can do a surgery to remove it.
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> You'd rather wind up like Durran than be detected by the dark ones?
* C`Winters rubs his hands together, pacing a little.
<DeathStar> <John> It's an advantage we can't give up.
* Seraphna` just rubs her forehead.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Well, can't be worse than stalking, or trying to drug up Cheryl..." *eyes Xan*
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> John,use your head for once and think rationally
<DeathStar> <Warren> *leans a little to the right * WAnt to go back to my room, Chad?
<C`Winters> "Warren? Was anything else happening while we were down there?"
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Only if you get me toasted first.
* Xanatos eyes Terra. "Yeah because I totally stalked her and drugged her up on purpose." He says with extreme sarcasm.
* C`Winters frowns.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hmm.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Hey, I wasn't meaning stalking Cheryl."
<Cassandra`> *comm* Medbay, what's the update?
<Xanatos> And who do I stalk, then?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his comm. "We're getting Chad drunk." 6He clicks off.
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...what...?
<DeathStar> <Pilot> I have no idea.
<Michiru> <Terra> "I think someone would've killed you if you had drugged her on purpose... and... you stalk Erevis. Or used to."
<C`Winters> "...Would you quit that!"
<DeathStar> <John> ....
<DeathStar> <Dominick> There's something else you should know, John.
* Xanatos eyes Terra. "I've never stalked anyone. And it honestly bothers me that people think that I have or do."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"It's all I can do to keep myself from wanting to commit seppeku right now"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I just did a quick scan of all your...parts, to make sure that the chip didn't affect anything else.
<Michiru> <Terra> "... right. Anyway..."
<C`Winters> "How about instead of making me pull your hair out, we figure this out and get our bodies back?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sends Michiru a memo about her dad being i nthe hospital
* Seraphna` looks at Warren, giving him that look.
* Michiru eyes the memo, her eyes going wide. "I... have to go."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Oh, if yo need pain pills, Chad, third drawerer. Peace hides them there.
* Seraphna` nods quickly moving over to the drawer and opening it
* Marcus` eyes her reaction. "Please don't let me stop you. I can tell it's serious."
<DeathStar> <John> What?
<C`Winters> "...Wait, are you seriously in pain?"
* Michiru gets up, and heads to medbay quickly
* Xanatos shakes his head, a frown moving onto his face. "Stalking." he scoffs.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick shifts his glasses. "You've had the chip for...two years or so, right?"
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah...
* Seraphna` blinks than pulls out a bottle of pain pills and takes two of them.
<C`Winters> "...Something's wrong."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "So, Warren... is it true about Dragoons going into heat?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll say.
<C`Winters> "You don't seem to understand, I don't get those kind of pains."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Yeah, I'm in your body."
* C`Winters sighs
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick taps his fingers together. "You're sterile, John. It's something that I think happened when you firstp ut that chip in your head. In fact, we would have never even found out if it wasn't for, well, your head pain now. And I think that resulted from the recent injury you took with the radiation."
<DeathStar> 6* John sits there, staring at him.
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva stands there, a look of confusion on her face.
* Michiru arrives at the medbay in a hurry. "How is he?"
* Marcus` taps the table after a second, sighing. "They didn't even pay." He makes a face and moves to clean the table off.
<C`Winters> "Warren, what was happening during the surge."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hmm. I don't remember. 6He glances at Michiru. "We'll know in a few."
* Seraphna` signs again. 1"And she's the Chief Engineer."
* C`Winters grabs 'Sera's' datapad.
<DeathStar> <John> But that's not possible...
* Seraphna` blinks, than signs. "HEY!"
* C`Winters logs in with ...her codes.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> There's a lot of advance treatment. I could take some sperm...and see if we can..well...reverse it any. But that would ...a long time. Maybe a year or more.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Shiva.
* C`Winters calls up a log of what happened during the accident.
<C`Winters> "I'm done playing CHad."
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva stares back, blinking in confusion still.
<DeathStar> <John> So I can't have kids. 6He swallows, rubbing his face.
<Ariel> 6* Siawase rolls his little kitten eyes.
* Seraphna` signs. 1"About time."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> That's correct.
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> But than...Than...Who's Michiru's...parents?
<C`Winters> "Oh be quiet."
<DeathStar> <John> .... and we wouldn't have found out about this..if it wasn't for the head pains..which I got fighting Erevis...and...
* Xanatos rubs his chin for a moment. "Well." He stands. "See you around." He moves to step out, moving down the hallway.
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva moves over to John, grabbing his hand and squeezing it tightly
* C`Winters sighs, "...They activated the god dmaned teleporter."
<DeathStar> <John> And I got that...because....I...Oh God, I wouldn't have foguht her, Shiva, if it wasn't for being so angry at Erevis taking Kat, and then threatening Michiru when she arrived. I wouldn't have done it.
<DeathStar> <John> Which means....
<DeathStar> 6* He suddenly stands up.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> ... 6He sits back.
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Mean's what?
<DeathStar> <John> Which means if Michiru wans't here, I'd never know that I was sterile.
<C`Winters> "I really hate that thing... alright... I suppose if we replicated the accident we could reverse it."
<DeathStar> 6* He turns slowly, then his jaw clenches. He shoves out into the main room.
<C`Winters> "Unless Myria's figured out more tricks with that pad."
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva quickly follows behind him.
<Michiru> "Dad! Are you alright?!"
* Xanatos stops by medbay, peeking his head head. "Why's everyone in here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren jerks his head, narrowing his eyes at John's face
<DeathStar> <John> You. 6He storms at Michiru, grabbing her by the shoulders. "YOU LIED TO ME."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... that doesn't look good."
<Michiru> "B... but...."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Yeah, I wanna take the risk of getting shocked again...
* Xanatos widens his eyes, staring at Michiru.
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes her. "Who is your father?!"
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> John...
* C`Winters looks over, temporarily forgetting her problems, moving over, "John... calm down..."
<Michiru> "... you raised me..."
<DeathStar> <John> Don't lie to me! WHO IS YOUR FATHER?
<Michiru> "I'm not lying there!"
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick steps out there
<DeathStar> <John> Not lying there? You let me think I was going to have a kid!
<C`Winters> "McCormick... stop it... you're scaring her."
<Michiru> "You raised me... but I don't know who..."
<DeathStar> <John> Stay the fuck out of this, Chad.
<Xanatos> Yeah Chad. This is serious. *he shakes his head with a frown*
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> John, maybe you took care of her for someone...
* C`Winters groans
<C`Winters> "I'm not Chad..."
* Michiru nods
<DeathStar> <John> You let me think...let me think I was your father. That I was going to be a father. You ... made a fucking joke out of me.
<Michiru> "I'm sorry... I didn't want to have to..."
<DeathStar> 6* John lets her go, then walks out
* Seraphna` groans painfully, then grabs another pain pill, popping it.
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva just quickly follows behind him
* Xanatos moves out of John's way.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lets out his breath.
* C`Winters walks over to Michi, "Hey, kiddo, relax..."
<DeathStar> 6* John storms into the hallways, running his hand through his hair.
<Michiru> "... but..."
<C`Winters> "He's just angry... he'll calm down."
* Xanatos eyes Chad. He then glances at Warren.
<Xanatos> Why is Chad being nice?
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> John...6She reaches her hand out to rest it on her shoulder
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Because he's not."
<DeathStar> <John> .... 6He kicks the hallway wall. "It was all for nothing."
* Xanatos glances at Kyouki now, confused. "Huh?"
* Seraphna` singns to Warren. 6"Shoot me, Warren."
<C`Winters> "Look, let's get you back to my sis.... err... Hotaru's and you can relax for a bit okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, then grabs his gun and aims at Seraphna.
* C`Winters looks around, "Hey! No shooting me!"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I think, actually, we should resolve something.
* Michiru just stares
<Michiru> "Umm... what's that?"
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> What was all for nothing? 6She asks him, her tone more questioning than caring."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> IF you're not John's kid, as you claime to be, then we have no idea who you really are. How do we know you're not the enemy?
* Xanatos moves to stop Warren when he just stops and stares.
<C`Winters> "...Long story... hopefully something I don't have to worry about for long."
<C`Winters> "...She's not the enemy."
<Michiru> "Because John wouldn't raise 'the enemy'."
<C`Winters> "And don't you lay a finger on Michi."
* Xanatos scratches his head, looking from person to person. "..."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Franky, you lied about that. I think it's time you came clean.
<Michiru> "And even if he's not my biological father, he's the only dad I've ever known..."
<DeathStar> <John> Forget it.
* Seraphna` leans on the counter, rubbing her forehead again
<DeathStar> 6* John just waves her off and walks off.
<Michiru> "... but... my mother... won't she be in danger if people know?"
<C`Winters> "Look... one thing at a time okay?"
<C`Winters> "Why would she be in danger anyways?"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> If you're not John's daughter, who are you, Michiru?
<Xanatos> Maybe her dad is Xevil or something?
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Is that it John?! 6She stares at him. "You suddenly throw me to the side after you find out your sterile?! So your telling me that you only wanted to get married to me because you thought you were going to have a kid?
<Michiru> "I'm Michiru McCormi... ugh, don't even suggest that!"
<C`Winters> "Seriously..."
* Michiru glares at Xan
<Ariel> 6* Siawase glares at Xan
* Seraphna` signs to Warren. 1"Is he always this god damn retarded?"
<Xanatos> Well everything is fucked up anyway! *he shrugs*
<C`Winters> "Xan... please not now okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* John whirls. "I wanted to have a family. I wanted a kid, and I wanted a wife. I wanted it all. And now I learn that it was all a fucking joke."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "He's brain damaged."
<C`Winters> "...And?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans back. It's clear he already knows who Michiru's lineage is
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Oh and since you can't have one? You're going to throw the rest away? 6There's a seriousness behind her tone.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "And so, yes. He is retarded."
* Xanatos flips off Kyouki. "Screw you."
<DeathStar> <John> *rakes his hand through his hair* I didn't mean it like that. I just... I feel like the rug is pulled out under me.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "That'd hurt if I cared for your opinion."
<C`Winters> "Kyo, stop making fun of him."
* Xanatos just goes to laugh when he eyes Chad oddly. "Why the hell are you defending me?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... why are you defending him?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the medical bay, having gotten the reports. She's dressed in uniform again.
* C`Winters rubs his face again, "Because I'm Sera!"
* Seraphna` groans and moves over to Xamatos, kneeling him in the groin.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "That doesn't answer me... hi Erevis!"
<C`Winters> "Hey!"
* Xanatos goes wide eyes and falls over, holding his crotch.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow
<Xanatos> WHAT THE FUCK SERA! *he gasps*
* C`Winters growls a littlw.
<C`Winters> "Chad stop it."
<Ariel> 6* Siawase steps carefully down onto Warren's head, then hops to Erevis' shoulder.
* Michiru sighs. "Chad and Serena switched bodies."
<C`Winters> "Xan I'm sorry, that's not me."
* Seraphna` signs to Warren. 1"We need to fix this now."
<Xanatos> ....wonderful.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Shut up, Chad. There's more important things going n right now.
<C`Winters> "Yeah, I think I'm about to punch myself."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans forward toward Michiru.
<Michiru> "..."
* Xanatos pulls himself up to a kneeling position. "Just tell us who your parents are...so I can get some ice."
<Michiru> "I don't know who my father is, so I can't tell you."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"IF she shares MCCormick blood, than that leaves one person left."
<DeathStar> <Warren> John's going to cut you off, Michiru. He feels betrayed and he's going to leave you high and dry. And he knows who your mother is now. You can tell in his anger.
<C`Winters> "Why would your mother be in any danger?"
<C`Winters> "What's going on? Why would he be angry?"
* Xanatos arcs a brow as he glances from Warren to Michiru.
<C`Winters> "Wait..."
* Seraphna` glances over at Erevis
<Xanatos> ...waaaait a minute. *He scratches his head, glancing at Erevis*
* C`Winters also looks up at Erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What?
<C`Winters> "...Still a McCormick all right..."
<Michiru> "... In my time, John and.. Erevis got along..."
* C`Winters looks at Michiru oddly
<Xanatos> She's your mom? *he points at Erevis, looking completely baffled*
* C`Winters shakes her head for a moment, "...Rioght, friendly, okay."
<Michiru> "He's mad because... I'm her child."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Pardon?
<Ariel> 6* Siawase purrs obliviously.
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva moves over to him, placing grabbing his hands. "DO you still love me John?
<DeathStar> <John> Yes.
<Michiru> "I was never supposed to mention this... but it can't be helped now."
<C`Winters> "Ere's your mom...?"
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Than we'll get through this.
* Michiru nods
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Xanatos> ...*he frowns now, standing up*
<C`Winters> "Well... alright then... so what now?"
* C`Winters helps him up.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Laws of deduction would dictate someone in this room is the father.
* Seraphna` signs. 1"it explains why she acrificed her life to try and pull her out of the rubble."
* Xanatos glances at Dom. "Law of deduction?"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Well, how many men does Erevis know?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I... 6She looks at Michiru, as if seizing up
* C`Winters eyes Sera... Chad... whatever.
* Seraphna` signs to Warren. 1"Which also means that person will die."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Unless she meets someone new in the next... I don't know how many months..."
<Xanatos> Well how do we know that she doesn't meet some random male on this ship?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes, of course. Erevis will have a child with a random male.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just steps back and out the room.
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Because Erevis is like Serena."
* C`Winters groans and rubs her forehead.
<Xanatos> Yeah even I think that sounds dumb.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and hurries out.
<C`Winters> "Hey!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up. "Great."
<DeathStar> 6* He watches her go.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Nice going."
<DeathStar> 6* John leans against Shiva.
* Xanatos watches her go. "...wow...Erevis is going to be a mom."
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva just holds him tightly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Doubtful now.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *heads out after Erevis* "Are you alright...?"
<C`Winters> "Let events play out."
* Seraphna` looks at Warren, then motions to Xanatos and makes a motion to hit him.
<Xanatos> Oh...*he frowns* That's bad then...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Judging by her reaction, events will not play out.
<C`Winters> "Don't push her."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. 6She says hurriedly, getting distance.
<C`Winters> "She doesn't act well to being pushed."
<C`Winters> "Just let her be alone, she understands this whole time thing more then any of us."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"She also doesn't want to mess up the time line."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... is there anything I can do?"
<Xanatos> Well don't let me talk to her. *he says finally*
<C`Winters> "Exactly."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. Just go away.
<C`Winters> "Now... about our bodies."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just walks out.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... alright." *walks off, feeling very uncertain about all this*
<C`Winters> "Hey!"
<Seraphna`> 6Dias just scratches his head, totally confused
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his datapad, locating Ariel.
* C`Winters rubs the back of his head, "Chad, we need to get this fixed, there's enough trouble without this."
<DeathStar> 6* John holds Shiva tight. "You're the only real thing left to me, you know that?"
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> That's not true, you still have all your friends.
* Cassandra` enters the medbay...
<Cassandra`> What's the situation...?
<Michiru> "... terrible..."
<C`Winters> "John's not the father, Erevis is the mother, I'm Sera, that's Chad." *points*
<Xanatos> And i'm Xan. *he smiles and waves*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves to cut off Ariel in the random corridor.
* Seraphna` just grumbles than eyes a piece of hair in his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick sits there.
<Michiru> "I... still get to stay with Hotaru and Em, right?"
<C`Winters> "Yes hun."
<C`Winters> "And if not then you can stay with me."
* Seraphna` signs. 1"I need a scissors."
<DeathStar> 6* John snorts. "Yeah, I got Dias."
<C`Winters> "No."
<C`Winters> "You're not cutting my hair."
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> That's one mor ethan me really.
* Michiru looks relieved at that. She's not lost everyone.
<DeathStar> 6* John lets out a short laugh
* Seraphna` just scoffs, moving to find a scissors.
* C`Winters walks over and blocks her way.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis retreats to her room, not caring if she's on duty.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps up behind Ariel. "We need to talk."
<C`Winters> "Don;t touch my hair, we're fixing this, tie it back if you have it."
<Cassandra`> And Commander McCormick's health?
* Michiru looks to Dom
<C`Winters> "I think he'll be fine, if pissed for a while."
* Seraphna` grunts and turns away, looking around for something.
* Xanatos shrugs. "Looked fine to me." He looks from Sera to Chad, before moving toward the exit.
<C`Winters> "Chad, would you wake up and start using that intellect of yours?"
* Ariel looks to Warren, "What is it?"
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> Was that a laugh? 6She asks him teasily.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps up, not using his cane it seems. "It's about Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> If he lets me remove the chip in his head, he'll live.
* Ariel looks questioningly
<DeathStar> <Warren> John isn't related to Michiru. Erevis is the mother.
<Cassandra`> I hope it doens't become necessary for me order the chip removed.
<DeathStar> <John> No. I am a pit of despair.
* Seraphna` turns signing. 1"Do you know how disturing this is for me?! I've got to pee, but I don't want to see any part of you naked. I don't want to know what underwear your wear...please tell me your wearing underwear. For the love of god, tell me you're wearing underwear"
* Ariel pauses. Considers. Then nods. "I suppose that does make sense."
<Seraphna`> <Shiva> A shame, since I don't like to have sex with pit's of dispair.
<C`Winters> "Yes I'm wearing underwear Chad... jezus."
<DeathStar> <Warren> She found out while everyone was debating it. The fact is she was not let into the knowledge gently. And then the topic of who the father was came up. There's a chance she might ... not have Michiru at the rate things are going.
<C`Winters> "Concentrate, think."
<DeathStar> <John> Well, you better change.
<C`Winters> "Commander?"
* Seraphna` gives a look of relief.
* C`Winters looks at Cass
* Ariel nods, "Where is she?"
<Seraphna`> <Dias> I spent time in Emily's body once.
* Xanatos shoves his hands into his pockets and moves along the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hits a few buttons, then glances at his datapad. "Her room. You realize, that out of everyone, the highest probablity is that Xan is the father."
<Cassandra`> ...what?
<C`Winters> "We need Myria's assitance, the teleporter seems connected to our problem."
* Cassandra` nods and calls Myria up on the comm.
<Cassandra`> *Comm* Yesssssss?
<Cassandra`> <Myria> *Comm* Yesssssss?
<Seraphna`> <Dias> Yeah, we had some time of screw up and we switched bodies. Myria fixed it.
* Seraphna` glances at Dias, signing at him.
<Seraphna`> <Dias> Did granny just flick me off?! 6A look of offense appearing on his face.
<Cassandra`> She's on the comm... *passes the comm to Chad/Sera*
<Ariel> "I... will talk to her. If we're fortunate, she found someone else." She starts towards the room, "...thank you."
<C`Winters> "I'm gra... Sera damnit."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick watches everyone with a kneen interest.
* C`Winters takes it.
<C`Winters> "Myria... Chad and I switched bodies, it seems a poower surge occured when the teleporter was activated."
* Seraphna` sits down on a counter and rubs her forehead, her eyes closed
* C`Winters looks concerned at herself.
* Xanatos just moves along, he passes by Ariel, not even glancing at her.
<C`Winters> "...We need a solution quick... I don't think Chad's taking this better then I am."
<Cassandra`> <Myria> *Comm* ...ok....come to the teleporter room...
* Seraphna` hops off the counter and quickly moves out of the room, heading down a hallway
* C`Winters moves with her.
* Seraphna` seems to be heading to the civilian sector
* C`Winters stops her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is in the civilian sector, as usual, drinking at the bar.
<C`Winters> "Chad, teleporter room."
<C`Winters> "We're getting this fixed."
* Ariel eyes Xanatos, then heads to Erevis' room and knocks on the door.
* Michiru starts out of the medbay, for 'home'
* Xanatos glances at Warren. "Why did Ariel just give me a stare down? I didn't do anything this time."
* Seraphna` ignores her and steps into the streets, moving across it and into the bar. He quickly moves inside and motions for 3 beers.
<C`Winters> "Chad, come on."
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... 6He just walks off.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Sera. "Oh great."
* C`Winters sighs
<C`Winters> "Chad, let's go."
* Seraphna` glances at the mirror behind the bar and shudders, motioning for 3 shots instead
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Enter. 6Her tone is strained. She lays on the bed, with the cat on her chest.
<Xanatos> ...yeah thanks alot. *he shakes his head and moves on, not really looking for anyone to talk too*
* C`Winters shakes his head, "Not with the pills you took."
<C`Winters> "You cna drink afterwards."
* Michiru looks for Hota and Em
<DeathStar> 6* John goes to Shiva's room, laying down on the bed.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *heads to the gardens*
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender hands them over.
<C`Winters> "I can't believe I'm about to do this..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Chad and Sera, feeling a weird sense.
* C`Winters grabs her by the small of her back, and leads her out, knowing exactly how to lead herself.
* Seraphna` lines the shots up and grabs each one, downing them and slamming the empty glass down.
* C`Winters pulls her away.
* Seraphna` shoves Chad away.
* Xanatos frowns and moves towards the garden.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tilts her head.
* C`Winters shakes his head.
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria waits...
<C`Winters> "CHad, you want your body back or not?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She checks her number of drinks.
* Seraphna` turns signing. 1"I think I need to be drunk just incase it doesn't work." He turns motioning for 3 more shots.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender hands them over.
<C`Winters> "No, we're going now."
* C`Winters puts his hand on the bar, in her way.
* Ariel steps into the room, closing the door behind her. "Are you alright?"
* Seraphna` grabs one downing it. He then slides the shot away and grabs the next one, downing it.
<DeathStar> 6* A big guy walks over. "Is this man bothering you?" 6He asks Sera.
<C`Winters> "You're acting worse then... me damnit."
* Seraphna` glances at the big man and blinks then slugs him.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *glares at Xan* "What do YOU want?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man falls over.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hot damn.
<C`Winters> "Are you satisfied now?"
* Xanatos moves over to a tree and leans against it, glancing over at Kyouki. "What the hell is your problem?! Can't a guy try to find some peace and quiet."
* Seraphna` grabs the last shot and downs it, blinking several times and than looking at his hand, waving it quickly infront of his face
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. 6She shifts into a sitting position. "I have...much to think about."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks over, eyeing Sera, then Chad.
<C`Winters> "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps up beside Myria, glancing at the teleporter logs.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Can't I? It's not enough that I'm useless, AGAIN, you have to ruin my moping too?"
* Seraphna` glances at Cheryl, blinking more.
<C`Winters> "Alright, that's enough."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh wow. Oh wow.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pokes Sera. "You're Chad."
<Xanatos> What the hell are you moping for? Least people like you!
* Ariel nods, "I... can imagine how it must feel." She takes a seat near Erevis. "That is not how I'd wish to learn."
<C`Winters> "We're going!"
<Cassandra`> <Myria> They are taking their time...
* C`Winters tries leading her off again.
* C`Winters grabs the comms, "Chad's refusing to come."
* Seraphna` resists, staring at Cheryl.
* C`Winters sighs, "I need some help."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're stuck in Sera's body. Ha ha.
<Seraphna`> 6Shiva just grabs John by the hand and drags him towards her room.
<C`Winters> "THis isn't funny..."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... oh, right. Because I'm so incredibly popular that everyone comes to visit all the time."
* Seraphna` narrors her eyes, a drunken look of not joy on his face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is...not fun
* C`Winters pulls her along, not caring if she resists now, carrying her if he has to.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grins. "You're a girly girl, Chad. And in Sera's body no less. I bet that burns."
* Xanatos eyes Kyouki oddly. "...yeah...people don't make fun of you."
* Seraphna` gives a silent sarcastic laugh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shoves Sera in Chad's body away. "Hey, let the girl talk.'
<C`Winters> "No! Come on!"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Yeah, well I TRY. You just fuck everything up."
<Xanatos> Oh wow, thanks alot. Dump onto me, everyone else does. Yep, good job. Don't you feel better?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Really? No."
* Seraphna` signs sloppily to Cheryl. 1"Ha ha, just laugh it up."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, I am.
<C`Winters> "Cheryl, tease us later."
* Seraphna` signs again. 1"Find love yet? Or is it still ever so elusive?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hmmm. 6He glances at Myria. "They must be experiencing the opposite sex."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Do you ever think about how what you do will affect others?"
<Xanatos> Then leave me alone. I've never did anything to you, yet you hate me so much. Mind telling me why?
* C`Winters grabs her, slings her over hius shoulder, looking pissed as hell, and walks out.
<Xanatos> Obviously not. I could care less how everyone else feels. *he says sarcastically*
* Ariel nods. "Michiru is a wonderful girl, you know."
<Cassandra`> Well...if they don't hurry, it will be too late.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Cassandra`> <Myria> Well...if they don't hurry, it will be too late.
<C`Winters> "Pick a goddamn fight in your own goddman body!"
* Seraphna` slips around, obviously used to this body and breaks out of her grip, moving back over to Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl points at Chad in Sera. "Well, at least you can experience love in that body. I imagine it'll be thrilling."
* C`Winters calls Myria, "Have the captain call security please."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "You wouldn't get it if I told you, anyway."
<Xanatos> And just what the hell have I did to you? Nothing at all as far as I can tell.
* Seraphna` suddenly shudders, looking like she's going to vomit
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The hell is he doing?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back.
* C`Winters grabs her, and runs, holding her firm, knowing how to hold her still.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Because Erevis' feelings mean nothing to me. Right."
* C`Winters runs for the teleporter room
<Ariel> "How do you feel about her?"
<Xanatos> Erevis hates me. So is that why you hate me?
<C`Winters> "You're acting like a goddman child!"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... mostly."
* Seraphna` nails a pressure point in Chad's hand causing her grip to go dead. She turns moving back down the hallway back to Cheryl
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria has security called then!
<Xanatos> Pathetic. When was the last time you talked to her?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... don't fuck with me, Xanatos."
<Xanatos> Oh? I've noticed. You have such a strong affection toward her yet she treats you just like every other nameless person around here.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Bastard... if you're trying to give me something to hate you over..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Chad coming back. "Wow, you are fucked up."
* C`Winters sighs, following.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps up to what she perceives is Chad.
* C`Winters blinks
* C`Winters grins
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Yes. I get brushed aside. By just about everyone."
<C`Winters> "Hey, 'Sera'."
* Seraphna` narrows his eyes at her, just pointing her finger at Cheryl
* Xanatos shakes his head. "Why is that?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chad, I was wondering when you planned to get Aya today.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a deep breath. "I have not spent much time with her, but she seems ... very ... likeable."
<C`Winters> "Oh, I'm sorry Zephyr, things have been a little crazy today."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... because I'm just not as good."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh?
<Xanatos> Not as good?
<C`Winters> "Engine failures, family problems."
* C`Winters looks over at 'Sera'.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Can your feeble mind not understand those three words?"
* Seraphna` weaves back and forth slightly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... this is so pathetic, Chad.
<Cassandra`> <Myria> *comm* Ummm...are you still there? You really need to get here now...ummm...before its too late.
<Xanatos> My feeble mind can't understand your fucked up jibberish. GOD your fucking nuts.
* C`Winters sighs and walks over to 'Sera'.
<Ariel> "So... it's not a bad thing, being a mother. Is it?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "So I hear."
* Seraphna` suddenly leans forward and gives Cheryl a kiss.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Sera, then pauses. "Is she drunk?"
<C`Winters> "...Sera, we're on very limited time, I need to go pick up Aya soon."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr then gasps
* C`Winters blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl freezes
* Seraphna` pulls back and flicks her off, turning and moving out
<Xanatos> Looks. You have some of Erevis' DNA in you so you believe that you are basically a poor man's Erevis don't you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> OH GOD
* C`Winters sighs, "Come on Zeph, I'll explain soon."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a gagging sound
* C`Winters follows after 'Sera'.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Better a copy of her than some nobody."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, passing Cheryl
* Seraphna` stops, stumbling slightly as she see's Zephyr.
<Xanatos> Oh come on, you feel like everyone looks to her and just ignores little ol Kyouki.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is not fair.
* C`Winters steadies... herself.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... of course they do."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. This must be a dramatic last moment thing.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Do you have a point?"
<C`Winters> "'Sera', Myria says we have very little time, so unless you wanna have a lot of problems, we need to go now."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wipes at her mouth. "Gross."
* Seraphna` shrugs Chad off and stumbles down the hallways to the teleporter room, the pills mixing with the 6 shots now
<Xanatos> Then change that. Change yourself, become more noticable. You already look different, now just make a point to be different, don't be the poor man's Erevis. Be Kyouki, be yourself.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What did she do to herself?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "As if that ever helped."
<Xanatos> As if you ever tried. *he says in disbelief.
<C`Winters> "Mixed pills and alchohol, could you call a medical team for me?"
* C`Winters steps into the room after her.'
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... don't speak of things you don't even know about."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Sera coming in. "Ah, Chad. Right on time."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr does so.
* Seraphna` signs. 1"Ready to get laid?"
<C`Winters> "Yeah, let's get this over with, then get me to a medical lab."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He pauses.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Chad...
* Seraphna` moves upto Warren than just pats him on the cheek and moves onto the teleporter pad.
* C`Winters sighs
* Ariel nods, resting a hand on Erevis' shoulder. "Fair and life rarely go hand in hand."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "What the hell did Erevis see in you?"
<Cassandra`> <Myria> ...he...she...whatever...looks stoned...
<Xanatos> Look. I may seem stupid and I'll admit that I generally am. But you don't have to be blind to see what is going on. You're a beautiful girl, you should be going out more and making friends more. I'm telling you, it'll make you feel better.
<C`Winters> "She's going to get me killed at this rate. Let's get this over with."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. So I should have the child. Because it was meant to be.
<C`Winters> "She can't process the chemicals out like I could."
* Seraphna` turns around then stuffs his finger down his throat and pukes up most of the alcohol
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares.
<C`Winters> "...Neat trick."
<C`Winters> "Now let's go."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Myria, flip the switch.
* C`Winters gets on the pad with Sera.
<Cassandra`> <Myria> Ok...but I hope the drugs don''t cause problems... *starts the sequence*
<DeathStar> <Warren> With these two, it could only make it better.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... I should make friends... as if I wasn't trying in the first place."
<Xanatos> When was the last time you went and hung out at the bar? I've never seen you there.
* Ariel hesitates. "I... wouldn't put it that way." She doesn't like the idea of 'fate'. "But... in your posistion. I think I would do it for Michiru's sake, if nothing else. You should spend more time with her. Maybe that would help you decide."
* Seraphna` waves over dramatically at Myria to hurry up
* C`Winters sighs
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria zapped the two of them into the teleporter buffer!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I will do that. Thank you.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... it's noisy..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright, will the real Chad step up now?
<Xanatos> ...yep. You're not going to make friends unless you learn to put up with the noisy places.
* Seraphna` is now known as Chad`Winters
* C`Winters is now known as Seraphna
* Chad`Winters steps out, patting himself quickly, even grabbing his crotch and checking to be super sure.
* Seraphna stands up, steadying herslef.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Still want to get laid, Chad?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "And how would you know about things like that?"
* Seraphna grabs her chest, staring down at herself in relief.
* Chad`Winters looks at Warren. 1"Only if you buy me a round of drinks." He says with a neutral tone
<Cassandra`> <Myria> I think its...fixed...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Eh.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fixed is a relative term.
<Xanatos> Because as stupid and as dumb as I can be, people still talk to me from time to time. And not only to bitch at me either.
* Seraphna rubs her head, "Damnit... do you abuse yourself like this or was I just special?"
* Ariel smiles a little. "...and prehaps we could find out who her father is, so you don't have to resort to sleeping with people you don't need to or want to." She says this seriously.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... it's nothing like you think." *stands, and turns to leave*
<Ariel> 6* Siawase does NOT look thrilled with the conversation, and curls up behind the pillow in annoyance.
* Chad`Winters glances at Serena. 1"It's not everday I have to be stuck in your body. It was a special occasion"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just nods. It seems, almost, as if she's withdrawn a bit. Her neutral poker face just makes it impossible.
* Seraphna falls over and groans
* Xanatos moves to stop her. "Oh really? Then what is it?"
<Seraphna> "If I could stand I'd be beating the living shit out of you..."
<Chad`Winters> That's another reason why I drank so much. 6He steps off the pad.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shrugs and walks off.
* Seraphna turns off her comms to prevent herself from screaming.
<DeathStar> 6* The medical team arrives and gives Sera Sober-Up
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I can't even think in noisy places. Now move." *telekinetically throws Xan out of the way, without even waiting* "... I guess I do feel better."
* Seraphna grimmaces, she hates that stuff.
* Chad`Winters steps out of the room and makes his way to Zephyr's room to pick up Aya.
<Seraphna> <...Sis...?>
* Ariel pauses, "Erevis?"
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Hmmm?>
* Xanatos slides across the ground on his feet. "Oh boy do I just want to shoot you right now."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm sorry. I think I need sometime alone.
<Seraphna> <Michi make it home...?>
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I'm sure." *keeps walking*
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Yeah, she's fine.>
<Seraphna> <Good... we need to spoil her hardcore... John shook her pretty bad...>
<Xanatos> Try to be fucking nice to a person. *he shakes his head* Crazy bitch.
* Michiru meanwhile latches onto Em, if she's around
* Seraphna stands weakly, wavuing off the team.
* Ariel nods, and stands. "Understood." She starts towards the door, "Just, remember. You don't have to do anything you don't want to."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Try treating people with respect."
<Ariel> Em> "Hey, hey. You okay, kiddo?"
<Michiru> "... I... feel lonely."
<Ariel> Em> "Lonely?"
<Xanatos> Respect is given when it is earned. Try taking your own damn advice!
* Michiru nods. "John's... mad at me."
* Seraphna walks down to Hota and Em's place, knocking when she gets there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would appear, in this case, there is little that can be done.
* Chad`Winters stops outside of Zephy'rs room and knocks on it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens the door. "You fix Sera?"
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *goes to answer the door* "Hey.."
* Seraphna smiles softly and stumbles into the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits down in the observation deck, needing the silence.
<Seraphna> <...I'm gonna kill Chad... one day... I really am...>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <What did he do now?>
<Chad`Winters> Yeah something like that. I need to take a really really long shower. I feel...just dirty. Think you could give me like 40 minutes to shower?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sure.
<Seraphna> <He and I switched bodies, and he freakin popped pills and drank too much... and now I had to take a Sober Up...>
<Chad`Winters> I appreciate it Zephyr. I'll be back in 40.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <... great... that idiot.>
<Seraphna> <He acted like a goddamn baby and... oh my god...>
<Seraphna> <OH MY GOD.>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Hmm?>
* Seraphna sits up
* Ariel nods a little, and lets Erevis have her alone time. "Remember, if you ever need to talk..."
<Seraphna> <...He... I... k-kissed CHeryl.>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <WHAT!?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works on killing herself with alcohol
* Chad`Winters nods to her and turns, moving to his room.
<Seraphna> <Yeah.>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just nods.
<Seraphna> <...I need more booze now.>
* Xanatos sits down in the grass now, finally getting some alone time.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <...well... can't have been that bad... you're still alive.>
<Michiru> "I... feel horrible..."
<Seraphna> <GOd... I was a /boy/... I'm suddenly very, very happy with my body.>
* Seraphna looks at Michi
* Seraphna walks over to join them.
* Chad`Winters steps into his room, quickly undressing and shudders again, he tosses his clothes into the garbage and then steps into the shower stall, turning the water on hot.
<Michiru> "I... knew it was wrong, and still lied anyway... and it wasn't the right thing to do after all..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays back on the bed beside Siawase, then closes her eyes
* Seraphna gives Michi a hug.
<Michiru> "I guess I should've said in the beginning... but I thought I was supposed to lie."
* Xanatos pulls up a reed and cups it in his hand, he pulls it up to his mouth and blows out, making a noise with the reed. He smiles, then blows again.
* Seraphna hits her comms on her belt, "...Michi, you have a family, you always will."
<Ariel> Em> "I don't think you lied."
<Michiru> "You don't?"
<Ariel> Em> "You said John was your father, right? How is that untrue?"
<Michiru> "... well... he did raise me, but..."
* Chad`Winters begins scrubbing his entire body furiously
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet and tosses the reed off to the side.
<Michiru> "He's... actually my uncle, really."
* Xanatos steps out of the garden and moves toward the civillian area.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *suddenly looks over, blinking*
<Seraphna> <Erevis is the mom.>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <I... was wondering...>
* Xanatos steps into the bard and moves over sitting down, he orders a beer.
<Xanatos> NRP: bar
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *almost speechless* "Erevis.. had a kid..."
<Ariel> Em> "Just because he's your biological uncle, doesn't mean he can't be your paternal father."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her 12th straight shot to get rid of the taste of Sera's mouth
<Michiru> "Mmm.. you're right. Just.. tell him that?"
<Seraphna> "...Oh we will."
<Michiru> "I'm glad I didn't really lie."
* Xanatos takes the beer and downs it, slamming it back on the bar, he stands up and moves over to Cheryl. "Look. I feel horrible for what happened to you and I want to apologise. I didn't think, and it caused you to get hurt. If there is anything I can do to make it up to you, I would like to do that. Even if it means you beating the crap out of me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, whatever. Another shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her 13th, then throws it back
* Xanatos blinks. "I'm serious, I want to make it up to you."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're forgiven. I bless you. Whatever.
<DeathStar> 6* John sleeps on Shiva's bed, apparantly having exhausted himself.
* Xanatos lowers his head. "....well, I...if you need anything, just remember that I owe you one and i'll do it. Alright?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure sure.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva rolls over, wrapping her around John's chest. "No Snipe tonight?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets her 14th, then throws it back.
<DeathStar> 6* John just cuddles into her and sleeps.
<Ariel> Em> "He might take a while to accept it."
<Michiru> "I know.. I'll try to keep out of his way until then."
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck. "...well...ok..." he stands there ackwardly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sways, properly buzzed. She motions for 15.
<Xanatos> ...*he moves back over to his stool, sitting back down* Well that was odd. *he mumbles to himself, getting another beer*
<Seraphna> *Xan's comm rings.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his face, leaning back on his seat. He stares out at the stars.
* Xanatos archs a brow and glances down at his comm, pulling it up. "Yo?"
<Seraphna> "...Hey Xan..."
* Seraphna hugs Michi
<Xanatos> <Comm> Oh hey Sera...wait is this Chad still?
* Michiru hugs Sera back
<Seraphna> "...No, it's Sera, he can't work the Beta controls if he wanted too."
* Seraphna musses her hair a little
<Xanatos> <Comm> And that is supposed to make me believe you...how?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's face hits the bar counter.
* Xanatos glances over. 15 he counts.
<Seraphna> "...You wanna watch more movies later?>
<Seraphna> "
* Xanatos makes a face. "Movies....movies are boring."
<Seraphna> "...I imagine they're more fun with me. *giggles* Though not till the third date."
<Xanatos> <Comm> Then could we pretend this conversation is the second one?
<Seraphna> "...Dunno, gonna take me out for the third date?"
* Xanatos sighs. "Well i'm kinda just sitting here drinking myself stupid...oh wait too late." He stands up, paying the bartender. "I'll meet you at your room."
* DeathStar changes topic to 'The Alien Wars 4: PAX | Tuesday - 8 EST and Thursday - 8 EST | Season 9 "Galaxies": 23 of 26 completed | Episode 24: Terrorism | Episode 25 will be held Monday, March. 26th. Episode 26 will be Tuesday and begins at 7:00 EST  |<Arhn> I am the Erusian ambassador. And I shall have the pasta.'
<Seraphna> "...Mmm, take your time okay? I'm helping comfort Michi."
<Michiru> "You forgot to pay for the food earlier."
<Xanatos> <Comm> Oh...tell her i'm sorry if I'm the father. *he says in a joking tone*
<Seraphna> "...I'm sure you will be! *she says playfully*"
* Seraphna smiles and pats her head, looking to the other two.
* Michiru suddenly looks scared
* Seraphna blinks, looking at her, opening another comms channel to talk. "...What is it?"
* Xanatos pulls a bottlecap out of his pocket and begins to roll it over his knuckles.
* Marcus` finally steps out of the cafe and glances down at the time he moves over to the bar, planning on grabbing something to drink before he goes back to his room.
<Michiru> "Just..." *pauses* "Why am I worrying, anyway? I turned out alright, didn't I?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sets up, rubbing her face.
* Chad`Winters stes out of the shower and quickly puts new clothes on. He steps out of his room and heads back down to Zephyr's room
* Marcus` passes Xan and just glances, stepping into the bar and ordering a beer. He glances over at Cheryl. "Do you just sleep here?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. I shower in the corner.
* Xanatos whistles as he moves towards the officer quarters.
* Chad`Winters knocks on her door.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens it, holding Aya.
<Marcus`> I'd like to see that sometime. *he pulls up the beer to take a drink*
<Chad`Winters> Thanks, I feel a lot cleaner now. 6He reaches out to take her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hooks onto Chad's arm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mm.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Man. How many have you had?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not enough.
* Chad`Winters grabs her, cradling her in his arms. He then reaches down and grabs her bag, slinging it over his shoulder.
* Marcus` frowns. "How much is enough?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> When I lose the last 24 hours worth of memory.
<Chad`Winters> Sorry for being so troublesome today Zephyr.
* Marcus` pauses to consider. "Something bad happen?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's okay.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mm.
<Marcus`> I'm curious? You make out with Sera or something. *he laughs after saying that*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just looks sick and gets up to go.
<Marcus`> Wait...WAIT! You didn't.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out
* Chad`Winters grabs Aya's arm and waves it good-bye to Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> See you later, sweetie. 6She waves back at Aya, then leaves the two alone.
* Marcus` moves to follow behind her. "Oh come'on shes not that bad of a kisser." He says, then pauses. "I mean, so I hear."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I will hurt you.
* Chad`Winters turns, heading down the hallway. 1"We got one quick stop dear."
* Marcus` smiles. "Mind if I asked how it happened?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Last chance to walk away before the pain comes.
* Marcus` holds up both of his hand. "I think I'll take you up on that then. See you around darlin." He turns to walk away.
* Xanatos leans against the wall beside Sera's room. Rolling the bottlecap over his knuckles and back again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can this day get any worse?
* Chad`Winters stops outside of Erevis' door, knocking on it
* Marcus` moves towards his own room now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens the door, staring at Chad.
* Chad`Winters waves Aya's hand hi to Erevis.
* Seraphna shows up after a little while, looking tired.
* Xanatos tilts his head. "I must've made it worse." He notes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6She glances at Aya, as if the child were going to eat her. "Aya. Chad. Can I help you?"
* Seraphna shakes her head
<Chad`Winters> Just checking to see how you're doing.
* Xanatos smirks. "How is she doing?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was trying to sleep.
* Cassandra` has left #taw
<Chad`Winters> Oh...I didn't know.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I imagine if you did you would be psychic.
<Chad`Winters> You're getting better at your delivery.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have moments.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya wiggles.
<Chad`Winters> It won't be long before you'll become an ace at it.
<Seraphna> "...She's doing better."
* Xanatos nods his head and then glances at her door. "Aren't you going to invite a girl in?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe that will occur.
* Seraphna giggles silently and leads him inside.
<Chad`Winters> Well why not?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then tilts her head. "You came to discuss jokes with me?"
* Xanatos moves inside with her. "Something more actiony please." He notes with a bored face.
<Chad`Winters> Just wanted to see how you're doing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just nods.
* Seraphna giggles and selects a hardcore action flick and pops it in.
* Xanatos moves over to get comfortable. "Hardcore. Just the way I like it."
* Chad`Winters places Aya on his head, letting her hold on. 1"DO you think you could erase the memories of me being in Serena's body?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
* Chad`Winters frowns. 1"I'll just have to force the memory out of my head than.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe one can eject memories from one's head.
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure I can make myself forget it the hard way than. It really wasn't a pleasant experience.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You did not enjoy being a woman?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to relax a little as the topic shifts away from her
* Seraphna cuddles up wif him
<Chad`Winters> I prefer being myself. Being Serena didn't make the experience any better.
* Xanatos relaxes. "You know...people on this ship are fucking nuts."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Being yourself is important.
* Seraphna taps her comms, "...Yep."
* Chad`Winters just nods. 1"I don't think I properly thanked you for your help with removing Id."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is no need.
* Xanatos idly plays with her hair.
* X1 has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> There is. Thank you Erevis, when I was at my darkest moment, you were the only one willing to help me find the light.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quirks an eyebrow. "Is that not what people do?"
<Chad`Winters> I've found that people will turn their backs very quickly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you?
<Chad`Winters> I don't, but I also use a harsher method to try and improve them, I'm not much better I suppose.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Xanatos glances at Sera. "So when we gonna start making out cause i've lost interest in this movie." He notes with a bored face.
* Seraphna ksises him softly
* Xanatos accepts the kiss and grins. "Now that's what I'm talking about. So far this is working out great." He moves to kiss her again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you hate Serena?
<Chad`Winters> I dislike her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, seemingly accepting his words at face value.
<Chad`Winters> It took an alternate universe to realize what kind of man Spade really was.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alternate universe?
* Chad`Winters just nods. 1"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ... do not understand.
* Xanatos moves his hand over, turning off the movie, wanting Sera's full attention as he kisses her.
<Chad`Winters> There was an...anomaly. Several rather powerful beings decided to run an experiment and we ran into it. They grabbed several us and offered us a chance to change things. And so we started back over again. Back when Ariel and Wind first arrived.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya waves her hands
* Seraphna kisses back, blushing a bit
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware. Perhaps I should read up on the reports.
<Chad`Winters> They gave us the chance to change key moments in time by possessing our bodies. Some tok advantage, others didn't. Serena's actions to save William Spade caused Warren's death.
<Xanatos> You blush too much. Maybe you should that looked at? *he smirks as he resumes the make-out session.(
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I confess I did not know William Spade very well.
* Seraphna blushes even more, pressing closer to him, eyes closed.
* Xanatos wraps both of his arms around her, slowly moving to pull her top off.
<Chad`Winters> He was a very ambitious man, a man who was enjoyed moving people around like chess pieces.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ah. I see. He was that type.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis plays with a stand of hair thoughtfully.
<Chad`Winters> And without Cran to hold him back he went for his move. Evening making an attempt to kill me and Eve to get a child for himself and Serena.
* Seraphna blushes, looking up at him a bit worriedly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And Serena...allowed it to happen?
* Xanatos arches a brow, eyeing her for a moment. "You may not have the ability to say know. But you still have the power too." he assures her.
<Chad`Winters> She didn't question it at all. And she continued to hold onto his actions even when I showed up with the others to stop her and get Aya back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Seraphna blushes more, she looks unsure, searching to see if you think this is right.
* Xanatos is a guy, of course he thinks it is right.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did you all - stop William Spade?
<Chad`Winters> There were many causualties because of her stupidity. I even wound up losing my life....Yes, Ariel killed him off.
* Seraphna reaches for her comms, "...You can play... but no further... kay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts his head. "You died? How...did it feel?"
* Xanatos grins. "As you command." He moves his hands about to explore, kissing her all the while.
* Seraphna leans into the kiss, enjoying it.
<Chad`Winters> I was happy, I was surrounded by Eve, Aya and Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, considering that.
* Chad`Winters glances at AYa asleep ontop of his head. 1"Well I better head to the room. I look forward to talking to you again."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Goodbye, Chad Winters.
* Chad`Winters heads to his room and inside

<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his burger. His enemy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slams against the window beside Warren, pressing his face against it and making wierd smeered faces
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns his head toward the window - very slowly, very creepy like.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses, his mouth blown against the window
<Alicia> NRP: PAXArama?
<Jackieness> NRP: Comedy mini!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at him. He unclips his gun and aims it at the window.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes against the window than waves and runs, leaving a schmeered mess
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches him go, as if debating shooting anyway, then turns back to his burger.
<DeathStar> 6* The Civilian Quarter, largely ignored lately, seems to have changed a little. The atmosphere is more tense, with word of a draft coming down, supplies running out, and other various things. People stand in groups, talking in hushed whispers, a look of dissent in their eyes.
* Chad`Winters sits across from him, eating his burger
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at him.
<Chad`Winters> How's work? 6He takes another bite.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires into his foot under the table.
* Chad`Winters grimaces and takes another bite. 1"You totalled my bike. This burger is your first payment."
<DeathStar> 6* The computer alerts the bridge of a fired shot, but then quickly dismisses it as a "Warren incident"
<DeathStar> <Warren> You tore the ship apart and caused mass dissent.
* Chad`Winters pauses mid-bite, staring at him. He grumbles and tosses the burger down on the plate and slides it back over, crossing his arms.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... you touched it.
<Chad`Winters> You tried having sex with me in Serena's body.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your tongue was on it.
<Chad`Winters> I keep my tongue rather clean, thank you very much.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks almost sad at the ruined burger
<Chad`Winters> That sad look almost makes me feel guilty, almost. 6He slides his hand over to grab the plate again.
<DeathStar> <Warren> An emotion you rarely exercise.
<Chad`Winters> I must've picked it up off while being in Serena's body.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Serena and guilty. There's an oxymoron.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks through the civilian sector, his hand's behind his head as he glances around, obviously bored.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the bar, ignoring the talk of dissent. Hey, it's the afternoon, she's probably plastered anyway.
<Chad`Winters> I also would've accepted inept, handicapped or even foolish.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmm. So what brings you here to my burger?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slams her fist into a punching bag, then hits it again and again, as if she's decided to make it her own personal enemy today, much like Warren does.
* Alicia is now known as Terra
* Chad`Winters takes another bite, than frowns as he finds a vegetable he doesn't enjoy. He slides it in and tosses it to the side. 1"You've noticed the civilians?"
* Terra walks up to Dias. "Hey."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. 6He glances out the window briefly. "Normally I would dismiss it, but the levels are getting too high to ignore. There's an organized group behind this."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jumps, throwing his hands up in self-defense. 1"I swear I didn't know it was your wife!"
<Terra> "... my wife? What kind of woman do you think I am, Dias?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at her. 1"Oh it's just you. 6He visibly relaxes.
<Terra> "So, who's wife was it?"
<Chad`Winters> Organized group...How many? 6He moves to finish off the burger
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not sure. But I'll find out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva steps into the bar, moving over to Cheryl and sitting beside her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Shiva, faint recognition in her eyes. "I know you."
<Chad`Winters> And how do you plan on solving this, we can't let something like this get any bigger than it already is.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm working up scenarios.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm the one screwing John.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh yes. Doesn't say much for you.
* Chad`Winters finishes the burger. 1"You actually enjoy these burgers?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. I hate them.
<Chad`Winters> No wonder...6He grabs a napkin and wipes his mouth clean.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> It's all pity I assure you.
<Terra> "Fine. Don't answer."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry, I just couldn't think of her name...So what's up?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So how would you like to be a bride's maid?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> About as much as I like to be sober.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well luckily for you, there'll be lots of alcohol.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* You're serious. You really don't know me.
<Terra> "Mostly just preparing things for John's wedding."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, I'm the Best Man. 6He gloats, poking himself in his chest.
<Terra> "Great! I wonder who Shiva picked for bridesmaid."
<Chad`Winters> I can only think of numerous bad things.
<DeathStar> <Warren> At least you're optimistic.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just blinks than starts laughing.
<Terra> "...what?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Shiva has to have friends first.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL!
<Terra> "Ouch. Burn."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Do you plan on killing me?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis works up a light sweat, hitting the bag over and over. It seems lately she's been keen on keeping her body in shape, more so than Kat did.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. I don't even know you.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> If an alien took over my body, would you let it keep my body and leave me behind or would you find a way to get me back?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh, the latter?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So am I suddenly sexier now that I'm a Best Man?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Than you're a better person than some people. So will you be a brides maid?
<Terra> "No, but a bit more attractive, if that makes sense."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do I get to wear this? 6Motions at her brown coat, white shirt, and rugged jeans.
<Chad`Winters> I work with what I can.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> No, but if you wear what I pick out, the bar will be open for you."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances back at him. "Hm. So you do."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is it girly and a dress?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Most likely.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...no.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then I have to turn you down.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You only have to wear it during the ceremony. After that you can change back into whatever you want, and you get open bar.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd rather shoot myself head in the head, thanks.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You drive a very hard bargain.
<Terra> "Well.. it's not something I know how to explain."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thanks. 6She smiles and gets another shot.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Good, because you'd only confuse me.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So tell me what it'll take to get you to wear a dress for 25 minutes?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A complete lapse in judgement.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva eyes her than turns to the bartender, motiong for 4 rocket fuels and points at Cheryl
<Terra> NRP: <Shiva> *gets Cheryl piss-drunk* <Cheryl> *wakes up in a dress*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nice, but I doubt alcohol will burn out enough common sense neurons for me to wear something like a dress.
<Chad`Winters> So you going to take Shiva up on being her Maid of Honor?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I will shoot you in the foot again.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Drink than talk.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes, the nthrows back all 4 back to back, making a face.
* Seraphna rolls out of bed, yawning softly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snaps his finger infront of Terra's face.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Sera finds a dead body in her bed.*
<Terra> "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns back to Shiva. "The answer is still no."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *It's Zera's.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just motions for 4 more.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You were getting lost in my beautiful eyes.
<Terra> "Someone's got an ego."
<DeathStar> NRP: So Shiva's plan is to kill Cheryl, and put her dead body in a dress?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Aye.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws back all four again, making more of a face.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: <John> WHat's wrong with her? <Shiva> Uh...nothing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> So, you're becoming involved again with Aya.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'll give you 2000 credits plus my other two offers.
<Chad`Winters> Aye.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But is it true?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And here I thought you weren't the desperate time, being from the Cartel.
<DeathStar> (type)
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmm. 6He makes a noncommital sound, glancing out the window.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well I am marrying John.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets out her breath, running her hand through her blonde hair. "On a scale of 1 to 10, how girly is this dress?"
<Terra> "Not really."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Define 1 and define 10.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But you said I was more attractive.
<Terra> "Not that much more."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hmpf. 6He just crosses his arms, obviously offended.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just shrugs. "I'm not a dress expert."
* Seraphna yawns, getting showered and dressed, looking over reports.
<Terra> "Hey, don't get offended. It's not like I'm easy or anything."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just nods and grabs her datapad she types on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her number of drinks so far, which is ten, thanks to Shiva.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Too late, feelings hurt.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva shows her a picture of the bridesmaid dresses
* Terra sighs a bit, then shrugs. "Oh well."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What, you're not going to try and boost my ego back up?
<Terra> "No. I'm not."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And here I got you into a past your physical exam.
<Terra> "Well, seriously, what would you want me to say?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren quietly battles Chad in a will of silent wit.
<Seraphna> NRP: *Sera sits down next to them, turning off her comms. She wins.
<Chad`Winters> 6The dress is a long black dress that would stop just below the ankle with a slit going up about to a girls knee. The top v's below the neck but doesn't go deep and two thin black strips would rest over the shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrm.
* Chad`Winters looks over the table at him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh I don't know, it's ok stud muffin, keep this up and I'll find you very sexy?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Whatever. But I'll expect the cash in advance.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva claps her hands together and motions for another rocket fuel.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it into her right hand, throwing it back with ease. "But I'm not doing anything but standing there."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks back.
<Terra> "Too bad. I wouldn't have thought you needed an ego boost, though."
* Seraphna curiously dials up Dom.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> That's all a bridesmaid really does. She stands there and looks pretty.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator answers. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll do the former.
<Seraphna> "...Whatcha up to?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But your beauty just comes so natural, girl.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> Doing work.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So I'm told.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> After the verbal rough housing you just gave me. How many guys have you turned gay? 6He crosses his arms, tilting his head.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But I'd rather look scary.
<Chad`Winters> A horse walks into a bar.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... I'm beginning to think you're becoming as desperate as Durran.
<Seraphna> "...Oh... any chance you'll be free later?"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Is there something you needed?
* Terra smirks. "Only Xanatos."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You...you fooled around with him?
<Terra> "... no."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Thank god, I was worried his retardedness was contagious.
<Terra> "Actually, I talk to him less than you, but that was a joke."
* Chad`Winters grunts in response
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems to have enjoyed that one, though his facial expression doesn't change.
<Terra> "The gay bit, not the not sleeping with him. Do I look that desperate?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just looks at her, narrowing his eyes as if checking to see if she really is that desperate.
<Seraphna> "...Well, I was just kinda wanting to spend some time with you..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Good luck with that part.
<Terra> "... you need to think about it?"
* Terra looks insulted now
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Really? 6He sounds mildly surprised as he shuffles papers.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Are you saying I don't look scary. 6She narrows her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns as if he can tell that she's not that desperate.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Looks at her. "There it is. I assure you, I'm scarred.
<Seraphna> "...Yeah... why not...?"
<Chad`Winters> How's your training going with Zephyr?
<Terra> "... anyway, I'm off to the bar."
<DeathStar> <Warren> She's improved.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good. I knew you were smart.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I figured you'd be spending your day off with Xanatos.
* Terra starts to the bar, having said that
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I did manage to fool several goverments into believing I only cared for the well being and not about the precious metals they were sitting on.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bar...Bar?!
<Terra> "You don't think there's more than one?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, we all need our hobbies.
<Seraphna> "...My day off, not his, I'm bored until then."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Ah. So you need me for mindless entertainment until he gets off. 6He notes, not sounding in the least bit insulted.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And what are you hobbies?
<Seraphna> "...More or less I need entertainment that isn't mindless, sims and movies are fun but people are so much more interesting."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Drinking and fighting.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh I know there's more than one.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Well, I'm afraid I'll be busy all day.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Blinks several times. 1"How would you like to be the bouncer too?
<Terra> "Well, my old bar, anyway. It should still be running. It better be."
<Seraphna> "...ALright... lemme know if you wanna hang out okay...?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You need a bouncer at your wedding?
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I will do so. Talk to you later, Serena.
<Seraphna> "...Talk to you later."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'll need a bouncer for the reception. And I don't want to get stuck with Xan as our bouncer.
* Seraphna shifts her jacket on and steps out into the halls, walking along, looking for something to do.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's right, you owned a bar.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll be piss drunk at the reception, as is my payment.
* Chad`Winters sratches his chin, looking over at Warren still.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well played.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems to be watching him still. The topic of Zephyr seems to have made him study him harder.
* Seraphna peeks into the training room.
<Terra> "Yes, I did."
* Chad`Winters glances upwards, obviously thinking about something
<Terra> <Hotaru> *heads over to Dom's office*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Do you get a discount?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just stares. The waitress wonders what the hell the two are doing.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick is indeed in his office, doing paperwork.
<Seraphna> <Whatcha up to sis?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, buzzing from her eleven drinks, glances out at the bar. "So, why are you with John?"
<Terra> <Hotaru> "Are you busy?" <Oh, just checking on someone.>
<Chad`Winters> How do you think our captain is doing?
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Just doing some paperwork. Did you need to discuss something? 6He adjusts his glasses, giving Hotaru his attention.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Believe it or not...He makes me happy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like a dog would, right?
<DeathStar> <Warren> The best she can under the circumstances.
<Seraphna> <Mmmm... I was thinking I should talk with Zephyr...>
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just let's out a light chuckle.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "Well.. sortof. I wondered if you'd like to.. go out for a meal?" <Well.. if she wants to talk, then definitely. There's no way to know for sure without asking, but if she wants to be alone, you should respect that.>
<Chad`Winters> Agreed, but things aren't going to get any easier.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I'm flattered, but I'm afraid I'm really busy at the moment, Hotaru.
<Seraphna> <Alright sis... I won't push her.>
<DeathStar> <Warren> No, they will not.
* Seraphna finds her feet have wandered to Zephyr's door, she knocks quietly.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "
<Terra> <Hotaru> "Some other time, then?"
<Terra> <Hotaru> *looks hopeful*
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick hestiates, then nods. "We'll see what we can manage."
<Terra> <Hotaru> "Thanks. I'll let you get back to work now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens and closes her hands, eyeing the puncing bag. She glances at her wrapped knuckles.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *heads off again*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens the door, holding Aya in one hand. She spots Sera, and her stance changes to a more defensive one. "Serena."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren cups his hands together. "Why do you bring Arakawa up?"
* Seraphna takes a step back, putting up her hands, comms on, "...I just want to talk, your call."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmm. My call? So if I said no, you'd walk away?
* Seraphna turns to go.
<Chad`Winters> She's inexperienced in these kinds of things. I'm just woried she's going to break, that is all.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes that as a yes, and shuts the door.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Perhaps. Perhaps not.
* Seraphna sighs and shrugs, walking away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back against the bar.
<Seraphna> <Guess she's still not ready.>
<Terra> <Hotaru> <Guess not. *doesn't sound surprised*>
* Seraphna heads out to the civilian area.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva stands up, tieing her hair back into a pony tail.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves Aya back to the couch, and picks up a toy, playing with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lazily moves her eyes up to Shiva.
<Seraphna> <I guess, family isn't always what you make it... I really want to fix things between us...>
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He motions for a refill
* Seraphna steps into the bar, looking about.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Sera, then immediately gets drink 12 and throws it back, making af ace.
* Terra heads into the bar also
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva blinks, getting an annoyed look on her face. 1"It feels like something...wrong just stepped inside.
* Seraphna sits, some distance from Cheryl and orders a very light drink.
<Terra> "... what's up?"
<Chad`Winters> 56Shiva glances over at Serena and just makes a face and groans.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not fans of Serena Cran?
<Terra> "Oh, that's all. I thought someone's dog had died."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Hardly.
* Seraphna takes a sip, minding her own business.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes his refill and drinks it, setting it down. "So tell me. What do you plan to do about Zephyr?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to not be reacting to Sera, other than the gag reflex due to the kiss
* Chad`Winters glances back over at Warren. 1"You'll have to be more specific.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva glances at Terra, sizing her up
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans forward. "She can't watch Aya for you forever."
<Terra> "So, Shiva... found a... oh god no."
<Chad`Winters> I'm already takng her as often as I can until I can find a daycare while I work.
<Terra> "I'm supposed to be catering for the thing, I can't be bridesmaid!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmm. And Zephyr herself?
<Chad`Winters> I'm not going to deny her rights to see Aya.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I meant you and her, specifically. Your history isn't exactly... stellar.
* Seraphna orders another drink
* Seraphna orders something much harder this time.
<Chad`Winters> I'm working on trying to rebuild the bridge that I've burned.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And how far will that bridge go?
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, a look of annoyance actually appearing on his face. 1"I'm more concerned about getting her as a friend first."
<Seraphna> <I can't say I don't wanna push... but I know you're right...>
<DeathStar> <Warren> And I'm more concerned it doesn't go beyond that.
<Terra> <Hotaru> <Pushing it would only make things worse.>
* Seraphna orders three shots, scene looking familiar.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Sera, ignornig Terra's doomed fate with Shiva.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You can't hire out?
* Seraphna downs them, looking at herself in the mirror behind the bar. FOr a bit of a deeper reason then Chad was.
<Terra> "Hire... a bridesmaid...?"
* Seraphna orders three more drinks.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Not the brightest bulb on the tree...
<Terra> "Seriously, why would I spend my money on that?"
<Terra> "... oh, right."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. 8 so far. 6She notes to herself
* Chad`Winters 's face goes neutral. 1"I'm sure that bridge is far from ever being rebuilt. Obviously much to your delight."
<Terra> "John wanted me to cater."
<Terra> "So I am."
* Seraphna stops when she feels pretty drunk, putting her head down.
<DeathStar> <Warren> My delight factors not into it. 6He looks annoyed now.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Hire out, as in hire people to do the work while you're a bridesmaid. I know it's a difficult concept.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lightweight. 6She turns away from Sera
<Chad`Winters> Than of what concern is it to you?
<Terra> "And apparently John wanting me to cater is, too."
* Seraphna holds up a finger. ALmost miming Cheryl.
* Terra eyes Seraphna. "Oh no..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Her getting hurt again. If you think I didn't know how hard Zephyr hit bottom, then you are wrong.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Hmmm? 6She looks at the drunk Serena and than Cheryl
<Terra> "She's going to try to drink herself to death."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns back as she gets 9. She seems to be watching with obvious interest.
* Seraphna looks down at the shot, her eyes watering a little, he wipes them, holding back tears.
<Chad`Winters> If you don't think I don't know what I've done...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Is...she crying over that shot?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm not questioning that. I just don't want her to get hurt again. Do you know how the incicent made her feel? I do. She told me.
<Terra> "She's piss drunk."
* Seraphna puts it down, closing her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> Numerous thoughts crossed me mind, Warren.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph. 6She gets up, then tosses down her money. "I think I'll go somewhere else less depressing."
<Terra> <Hotaru> <What are you up to?>
<Jackieness> NRP: Night all
<Seraphna> <...Noffin...>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out of the bar.
* Jackieness has left #taw
* Seraphna breaks the shot glass in her hand, she looks down, wiping it up and cleaning her hand.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Great....Cran's killed the mood like normal.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well Terra, I've got hunting to do for bridesmaids.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmm. I'll consider this conversation over, in any event. No need to have it again.
<Terra> "Good luck with that."
<Chad`Winters> Good choice.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva pauses. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren quietly looks out the window.
<Terra> "Nothing."
* Seraphna taps her comms. "...She means noone likesh yoush."
<Terra> "..."
* Seraphna looks over at them, drunkenly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks down the streets, looking for a new bar that doesn't have weepy girls. Weepy girls are the worst.
<Terra> NRP: Weepy dragoon is weepy
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva glances over at Serena than looks at Terra, than back at Serena again. 1"You're just jealous that John's mine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis unwraps her hands, then moves over to a bar, doing pull ups.
* Seraphna wraps her hand up, though it's healed mostly already, staring at Shiva, "...SHlonely, izzn't?"
* Terra looks between the two
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just laughs. 1"Doll, I'm far from lonely."
* Seraphna shakes her head, she actually looks like she's got pity for Shiva.
<Chad`Winters> So who do you think is Michiru's father?
<Seraphna> "...Noone who clingsh that hard."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Probability would say it's Xanatos Durran.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Ok....I'm not the one drinking myself stupid.
<Terra> "Who's clinging, anyway?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl passes the burger building, eyeing Chad with a look of death, then continues on
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Leans over to Terra. "She thinks that just because I got pissed because she tried to steal John from me that I'm clingy."
* Seraphna grins and gives Shiva a thumbs up, "...Yep, you jush go huntin all yer friendsh then."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Guess that means Warren's a very lonely soul than too.....6She just shrugs, and it's very obvious that Serena's words don't matter to her at all.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tilts his head, sensing something amiss
<Chad`Winters> His odd's of living after doing something the deed are in the negatives.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finds her way to the basketball court. She grabs a ball, bouncing it, though it's clear her buzz has dulled her skills.
<Seraphna> "...Wow, big pool there..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Would explian why John played father.
<Terra> "What are you talking about?"
<Chad`Winters> Would she be that emb...Nevermind.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'll be looking forward to your catering than Terra. 6She nods to her and turns, stepping out of the bar
* Seraphna looks over at Terra
<DeathStar> <Warren> Frankly, the probability of their being a kid now is very slim. Sending Michiru back probably sealed her fate. So, I have to wonder, why send her back?
* Terra watches Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl aims at the hoop and shoots, scoring.
* Seraphna tilts her head at her, "...Sho... you were the bartender weren't you...?"
<Terra> "Yeah... and?"
<Chad`Winters> To stop it from happening in the first place...6He glances into Warren's eyes. "You know who the father is supposed to be, don't you?"
<Seraphna> "...Dunno... ummm..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> What makes you think I know?
<Chad`Winters> You're Warren.
* Seraphna sits up, she pulls out a package of pills, popping one and washes it down with water.
* Seraphna shakes her head and rubs her eyes.
<Terra> "... what are those?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Flattering. No, I don't know. I pray it isn't Xanatos Durran, but my gut would go with him.
<Seraphna> "...GetSobers, they gave me a bunch after Chad nearly OD'd me."
<Terra> "... oh good, for a moment I thought you were trying to kill yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bounces the ball of the wall, then shoves her hands into her coat, trying to think of something to do
<Seraphna> "...Nope... just had to wash my frustrations away."
<Chad`Winters> Dias has better odds over Xanatos.
<Terra> "Why the hell would you get drunk, just to sober up a few moments after?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Xanatos is the only man to get under Erevis' skin. And Dias is an idiot.
<Chad`Winters> Getting under a persons skin isn't going to get you laid.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And Erevis isn't the type to go to bed with a stranger.
<Seraphna> "...It was better then eduring Shiva sober."
<Chad`Winters> It could be you, I've noticed that Michiru has a limp
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wouldn't have sex with Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> Now, but who knows what the future will hold for you.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Period.
<Chad`Winters> Not even to preserve the time period?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Chad`Winters> Eh, she's not anal retentive enough to be your kid.
<Seraphna> <Sorry sis...>
<DeathStar> <Warren> She has your sense of humor. 6He notes dryly.
<Chad`Winters> Really?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Chad`Winters> Still hoping Ariel will get over Darien?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's fingers tap on the table, the only sign of Chad's dangerous misstep. "No."
<Terra> <Hotaru> <What did you do now?>
* Chad`Winters leans back, resting his arms against the back of the booth.
<Seraphna> <Nothing... I just feel sorry...>
<Terra> <Hotaru> <Oh.>
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing, his eyes shifting to the window.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes with the pull ups and grabs her towel, cleaning up. Cheryl, meanwhile, enters the burger joint, taking a table across from Chad and Warren to get a burger. And fries.
<Chad`Winters> So you think we should just let this thing play out than?
<DeathStar> <Warren> "Thing"? 6He glances at him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops into the training room quickly sliding against the wall.
<Chad`Winters> The Erevis, Michiru.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, there isn't anything we can do about it, now is there?
<Chad`Winters> Rightly so.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then I suppose we let it play out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks up blinking. He than waves
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello, Dias.
<Chad`Winters> Heya!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Terra> <Michiru> *wanders, noticing Erevis and Dias, but just staying back, watching*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies him, but decides not to comment on his method of entry.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances over at Cheryl, then back out the window.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Training, huh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Is that what you...were doing? 6She can't resist it seems.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I was working on my escaping abilities.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. And are they improving?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think so. 6He points his head into the hallway and looks around
<Terra> <Michiru> "... umm... I'm not bothering you, am I?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns at the voice, glancing into the hallway at Michiru
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps back, falling on his ass. 1"AHHHH!"
<Terra> <Michiru> "..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> DON'T DO THAT!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis swallows. "Good evening, Michiru."
<Terra> <Michiru> *shyly* "Hello."
* Chad`Winters glances down at his datapad. 1"Well I should go pick up Aya."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> Thanks for the burger. 6He stands up and moves to leave
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches him go with a scowl.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, then nods. "I should go back to my room and clean up." 6She steps out past Dias and Michiru
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Akwards~
* Ari[AWAY] has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and Michiru now stand there alone- awkward
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, dusting himself off. 1"Well now that that touching moment's over.
<Terra> <Michiru> "... I feel like I'm a burden."
* Terra drinks quietly, since Sera isn't saying anything
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eats quietly
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I could feel you to find out.
<Terra> <Michiru> "..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks, than holds his hand out towardsh er
<Terra> <Michiru> "No."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fine than, you're a burden. 6He turns moving out.
<Terra> <Michiru> "..."
<Terra> <Michiru> *heads off in the opposite direction*
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<DeathStar> -END-
