Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070322.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.7.5
<DeathStar> Location: The PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps onto the bridge, holding folders. His face is partially unshaven as he deals with trying to track who's causing the civilian sector to begin massive dissent talk.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances up from his spot on the bridge.
* Marcus` has joined #taw
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
* Xanatos stands in a training room, a pistol in each hand as he practices his marksmanship.
* Seraphna sits on the bridge, working on her console.
<DeathStar> <John> Still nothing, I assume. 6He notes, judging Warren's annoyed expression
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps onto the bridge moments later, and John's eyes shift to her momentarily, then back to Warren
<Seraphna> *Elayne sits in her chambers, reading over reports, several other Atlanteans there, but no Airier to be seen.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *sits on the bridge, looking annoyed at something, then stops as Erevis enters, distracted suddenly*
* Cassandra` sitting in the captain's chair...
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He lays the folders out on the table and begins to shift through photos of known dissent causers. "Just the small fish, and we can't get them to reveal who's actually leading this. But they keep referring to something big coming. Something that will "show us".
* Seraphna taps her console, "...Like we can really turn back... we'd have to know where 'back' is..."
* Xanatos fires repeatedly until his guns begin to overheat. He stops firing and holds up both pistols, steam emitting from the chambers.
<DeathStar> <John> Fear makes people do things. And frankly, I can't blame them.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "As if we really have time to worry about them..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a seat quietly.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *heads onto the bridge also*
<DeathStar> <John> Maybe we should call off the draft plan. It'll mean being under staffed, but it might cause some relief in the civilian population
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Maybe."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Doubtful.
<Cassandra`> The undercurrent is already there.
<Seraphna> "...They'll jsut change thier stance to us being unable to protect them being under numbers."
<Cassandra`> Besides, if we can't fully crew the ship, our chances of survival are zero.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... whatever we do, they'll hate us then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick enters the bridge with psych evaluations. He looks like he's been looking into htisp roblem.
* Xanatos exhales once and sighs, glancing around to look at his targets, he notices his shots are a little off and glances down at his pistols, a frown on his face. He just holsters them quietly and moves over to the exit.
<Seraphna> "...No, if we play our cards right, this will turn into a good thing, if we play them wrong..."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "We'll all die."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *stands quietly at her station. She's working. So quietly that no one noticed she was there until she just stretched with a yawn*
<DeathStar> <John> Right, I don't know about you, but I'm not much of a card player when it comes to angry mobs.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We have to assume that some of the military personnel is working with them, as well.
* Marcus` moves along through the civillian sector, his eyes moving along from person to person. He's wearing normal clothing, seems he has the day off.
<DeathStar> <John> Great. Well, I, for one, am not a terrorist today.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Seems up your alley.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... Warren..."
<DeathStar> <John> Ouch, Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick sets his evaluations down. "While John McCormick does lean to extreme actions without thinking, I somehow doubt he's this efficent."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Maybe it's Xanatos? He has a habit of doing stupid things, and getting into people's heads."
* Seraphna shakes her head
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know if I should be insulted or relieved.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Kyouki
<Seraphna> "...It's not Xanatos."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... I... don't like him. That's all."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not unless he gained a 100 IQ points.
* Xanatos makes his way along the halls, his eyes moving about, eyeing various people. Idly listening to conversations as he mvoes by.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances back at Warren and John.
<Seraphna> *Airier yawns, walking through the civilian crowd, in casual clothes, eating a sandwich.
* Marcus` rounds a corner, moving himself over to a corner, giving himself time to look around at everyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is in the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* The Communication Officer glances down in confusion. "H-Hey."
<Alicia> <Terra> *is also in the bar*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What?"
* Seraphna looks over
* Xanatos stops by the security office and moves towards munitions room. He moves to exchange pistols, letting the person in charge know that the ones he is dropping off need properly sighted.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Report. 6He takes charge while Cassandra zones out.
<DeathStar> 6* The ammuniation room looks strangely empty today.
<DeathStar> <Communication Officer> Um, it appears someone is accessing our intercomm system. For, um, the whole ship? Iswearitwasntme
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *glances to Serena*
* Xanatos archs a brow, glancing around. He goes ahead and gets his pistols before stepping out and moving back down the hallway. He pulls up his comm to page the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, glancing up toward the intercomm system.
* Seraphna arches her own eyebrow, shaking her head.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *nods to Sera, satisfied with that*
* Marcus` frowns and then steps across the crowd of people and steps into the bar, he moves over to take a seat. "Tense as hell out there." He says, glancing towards Terra and Cheryl.
<Seraphna> <I don't actually interface with the comms, I have a Beta unit that makes calls for me.>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Well, true.>
<DeathStar> <Voice on Intercomm> Greetings, civilians and crewmembers of PAX.
<Alicia> <Terra> "It's like they're preparing for war or something."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Try to override his voice now. 6He orders. The comm officer jumps to it.
* Xanatos eyes his comm and then slides to a stop, glancing up.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *tries to identify the voice*
* Marcus` looks up. "What's going on, I wonder?"
<DeathStar> <Voice on Intercomm> My name is Corneilius Phaeton.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stiffens, his eyes widening a notch. Even Dominick shifts.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Who?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks her head up.
* Marcus` arches a brow and glancs from Terra to Cheryl. "Who?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, completely stunned, then whirls toward Dominick. "How the hell did he get on the ship?"
<Cassandra`> Explain who this is...
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What am I missing?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> *rolls her eyes at the stupid voice, trying to find the broadcaster*
* Seraphna shrugs
<Ariel> Setsuna> *hates the name too*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "That's a stupid name."
<Seraphna> <Should we know that name?>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <I don't think I do..>
<DeathStar> <Voice On Intercomm> I wished to speak to you about the corruption that is our leadership. They have led us astray, and have abandoned us in an unknown location. This is the people who are leading us today. 6Comm. screems begin to fash the various actions that have been taking place. "Our Captain, with a dead body in her bed, was let off with little more than an inquery."
<DeathStar> <Warren> He's from the Ridarium War. He's a genius and a political activist who blew up several dozen government buildings after the war. His IQ is off the charts.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... he's talking bollocks."
<DeathStar> <Warren> You might know him by the nickname he picked up during the war, because of his brutality and efficent kill ratio. The Wiendigo.
* Marcus` eyes the comm screen. "That doesn't look like bollocks to me."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Oh gr... Wiendigo?"
<Cassandra`> I think we found our hacker...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Doubtful.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Not his style?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I hate the bastard already."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Our second in command was involved in an attempt to kill another crewmember. 6Screen shots show John beating the crap out of Erevis. "He is still in in his position."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *turns to look at John*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Our hacker has purposely been subtle this entire time. Only targeting a few of us. Phaeton is pretty much screaming to be noticed.
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "That...that's horrible."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "That... is doctored... I hope..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' lip twitches a little.
<Cassandra`> Then how did Paheton stay quiet this entire time?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Obviously he only started screaming recently."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm not sure. He's a genius. He knows explosives and computers. He could do what our hacker did. Maybe better. But it doesn't jiive.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Another crew member, Xanatos Durran, killed over ten people in cold blood. 6His victims bodies are shown. "Today he walks among you as an officer."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Wait, that fucker is an officer? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "..."
* Xanatos narrows his eyes.
* Seraphna shakes her head...
<Cassandra`> Officer? I gave him a desk jump. I didn't pin any stripes on Xanatos.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Kyo, remain calm. He's just trying to get to you."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> This officer, Chad Winters, purposely sabotaged and turned his fellow crew members against each other. 6Various screens are shown. "He today is in charge of research."
<Cassandra`> NRP: job
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "..." *nods to Cass* "That wasn't Chad anyway."
* Marcus` just shakes his head, eyeing the comms. "What...what kind of joke is this??"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up slowly, her face unusually pale.
* Marcus` glances at Cheryl. "Hey. You ok?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Someone comm. Cheryl and get her to the bridge. Now.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... Cheryl? You okay?"
* Xanatos moves quickly down the hall, making his way towards the bridge.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... is that it?"
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> This is the enemy that they seek. 6Screen shots of the Dark Ship they fought are shown. And the screen shots of the alien ship that last. "We are four months from running out of supplies - water, food, and other necessarities, and they insist on chasing these beings down. They will see the death of us. So, now I am telling the leadership of the PAX - turn back now, find a way home, or face the consequences.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> The people have spoken. 6He ends the comm. link
<DeathStar> 6* John gets in touch with Cheryl quietly.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... fuck you, 'Phaeton'."
<Seraphna> <Is this guy insane...?>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <At a guess... yes.>
<DeathStar> <Dominick> He's a genius. And with intelligence comes insanity.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Captain?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> He makes Spade look dull. We cannot underestimate him.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... Spade..."
<Cassandra`> Mmm-hmmm...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the comm. blankly, then turns and hurries out
<Alicia> <Terra> *follows Cheryl*
* Seraphna jumps a little at that, eyeing Warren a little, but she nods, as if giving in the comparison.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick frowns a bit. "We also cannot give into his demands. The military does not negotiate with terrorist."
* Marcus` just sits there, shaking his head. He orders a beer just to take some of this news off of his mind.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Is that your only concern?"
* Xanatos slides onto the bridge. "What is going on?"
* Seraphna taps her station, "...Just a thought, shouldn't we make sure everything is secure?"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> And what will you do - give a man like Phaeton control of th eship?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans against the command table, eyeing it blankly, as he thinks.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "No.. but we have more important reasons to not do than 'not negotiating with terrorists'."
* Xanatos looks around at everyone. "This terrorist...I believe he is armed as well."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Then I suggest you focus on your concerns and I mine. 6He notes harshly, turning to face Cassandra.
<Cassandra`> If we turn this ship around...assuming we even knew which way to point the bow, humanity will be wiped from the galaxy.
<DeathStar> <Warren> He'll target leadership. 6He notes finally. "We need to give protection to the Ambassadors."
<Seraphna> "....That makes him the enemy."
* Marcus` finishes his beer and sets it down, "What the hell did I get myself into?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Take them to a more secure location.
<DeathStar> <John> Armed. Great. Just what we need. Civilians with guns.
<Seraphna> *Elayne sits back, absorbing the message, before she comms the bridge.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Shall I inform Ariel?"
* Xanatos blinks and looks around at everyone. "...how can we know where is secure? He could have half of the security forces on his side."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Don't answer that comm. 6He orders.
<Cassandra`> Yes, relocate the diplomatic staff.
<DeathStar> <John> What? Why?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Kyouki, I want you here for now.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Someone needs to inform them, and the comm is most likely being monitored."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Erevis, discretly go get ARiel and take her to a new location. No one use comms. Hotaru, I want you to get Arhn.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Roger."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Xanatos. "Get Elayne."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Yes, sir."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *heads off to fetch Arhn*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves out.
<Cassandra`> No real information crosses the comms.
<Xanatos> Do I bring her back here?
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Sera, go get Elayne.
* Xanatos frowns. "I just don't know where is secure."
* Seraphna nods and gets up, heading out.
<DeathStar> <John> That's why you're not Phaeton.
* Xanatos crosses his arms. "Obviously."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl arrives on the bridge. Warren nods to her, motioning her over.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Anything you need me doing?"
<Alicia> <Terra> *arrives shortly after*
<Alicia> <Terra> "What the hell's going on?"
<Cassandra`> Get some cots and bed them down in my ready room if you have to.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Protect the Captain, Setsuna. She's the next big target. And John. But we'll leave him n his own.
<Seraphna> *Elayne's guards arm themselves up, ELayne nodding.
<DeathStar> <John> H-Hey!
<Xanatos> I'll protect you John. *he smirks*
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, I feel so safe.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She steps up to stand beside Warren. She looks out of place among the uniforms.
<Xanatos> Glad I could ease your mind.
* Seraphna heads into the diplomatic quarters, past two Atlean guards.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cheryl. We're going to need you to think like Phaeton. Try to figure out where he's at.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis knocks on ARiel's door.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *heads into the diplomatic quarters also, heading towards Arhn's*
<Cassandra`> 6* Arhn is currently in her quarters.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Easier said than done.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... they were...?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Phaeton was Cheryl's pilot.
<Alicia> <Terra> "That's what I thought..." *still seems a little shocked*
* Ariel doesn't answer, but she's in there.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Arhn?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ariel? ... 6She tries to open the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rakes her hand through her blonde hair.
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles, "Hey there."
* Seraphna nods and looks around, signing to her quickly.
* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck, stepping over and leaning against the rail. "The thing never even said that I was being controlled by the Tsiv..." he notes with a frown.
<Ariel> 6* The door doesn't open when Erevis tries it, but Ariel opens it after a few moments. "Erevis."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, it wouldn't."
<Cassandra`> 6* Arhn opens her door.
<Cassandra`> Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, in the civilian sector, armed groups begin to take up positions, closing down a few shops and businesses as they set up defensive perimeters.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We need to move.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Arhn, we need to move... somewhere safe..." *tries to think of a good place*
<DeathStar> <John> Gee, that would be the polite thing to do, does he seem polite?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at monitors. "It seems we have trouble in the civilian areas."
* Marcus` looks around in confusion. "Oh crap...this is getting out of hand..." he stands up and moves out of the bar, making his way towards his room.
<Cassandra`> <Arhn> ...this man making threats, it it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Smoke screens, but he'll use them to cause damage.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Yes. I don't know how far he's willing to go to achieve control."
* Ariel nods, "We have a plan?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. How should we handle the armed civilians, Captain?
* Marcus` just shrugs. "Being shot at by our own weapons sure don't sound nice."
<Marcus`> NRP: Xan said that.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna keeps her eyes on the monitors. Best protect the captain for now, by knowing what's coming.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Warren desires to move you and the other ambassadors to a more secure location.
* Marcus` moves into the halls now, making his way out of danger, by going to his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is cut off.
<Cassandra`> <Arhn> I understand. LEad on.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *leads Arhn somewhere more secure.. where-ever that would be*
<Ariel> "Where?"
<Seraphna> *The guards move in after a few moments to check on Elayne, she and Sera are gone.
<Cassandra`> We can still seal off the civilian sectors if necessary. They only become an issue if they disrupt the functioning of the ship.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Follow me. 6She turns.
<Seraphna> *They nods and move out to thier own positions.
* Marcus` stumbles back and rounds another corner, trying to find someplace safe to hide.
<DeathStar> <Warren> They might hurt people if we do that.
* Ariel nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is stuck, it seems, in the civilian area, with other civilians who are eyeing the people with guns dubiously.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Wild animals get vicious when backed into a corner."
<Xanatos> Shouldn't we put all sectors on alert? So they'll know what is coming.
<Cassandra`> True...very true...but if they endanger the entire ship...
<DeathStar> <Warren> We might have to engage them with security.
* Marcus` makes a face, glancing around frantically. "This is ridiculous."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren makes calls, getting security and troops ready
<DeathStar> <Warren> He'll know we're preparing men, but the fact is we can't plausibly do it without the comm. system
<Cassandra`> The question on my mind is how this Phaeton amassed so many followers when all the civilians were supposed to be screened before boarding.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> People are afraid. And face it, he has damning evidence against us.,
<Xanatos> He almost had me convinced. *he notes with a wave of his hand*
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would appear they have control of the civilian quarter completely, and around 700 hostages.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well, that's you."
<Cassandra`> We have his entire criminal record.
<DeathStar> <John> I'd beleive him.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *eyes John*
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Yes, but his criminal acts have been against an injust government.
* Xanatos just flips off Kyouki.
<DeathStar> <John> He was a hero of mine when I was younger.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Or so he claimed.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You... you're kidding..."
<DeathStar> <John> Why do you think I took on Janus?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... if anyone EVER gets at me for idolising Erevis again..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Phaeton believes he's just and that the government is corrupt. Hell, I bought into some of his thinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs.
<Cassandra`> He did not distinguish non-combatants and innocent bystanders. Everyone was expendable. And if he had his way, the Ridarium would be colonizing Earth now and humanity would be in the history books.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "He didn't have a criminal record back then, though, did he?"
* Xanatos glances at John, then Kyouki. "Thinking of someone as a hero and idoliziing someone is two different things."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Pass the buck later, right now we--- 6Suddenly an explosion tears into the hallway with ARiel and ERevi, as if Phaeton predicted their route. The last thing Ariel would remember before blacking out is pain in her right arm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He fought the Ridarium with every breath he had. He attacked the government when they let those murdering bastards off so light, and tried to make pacts with the Tsivrixsh and other hostile governmens.
* Xanatos steps forward, looking at a monitor. "What the hell just happened?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snaps her ehad up at Cassandra, as if defending PHaeton.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Explosion.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Really." *glances to the screen*
* Seraphna steps onto the bridge, with Elayne, who's wearing far from civilian clothing, and armed.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I said not the bridge---oh hell. DOWN.
<DeathStar> 6* The bridge suddenly explodes.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *jumps for cover*
* Seraphna dives down, with Elayne.
* Xanatos attempts to move for cover, though it is kinda hard with explosions going off.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *drags Cassandra to the floor*
<DeathStar> 6* John is knocked back as some of the computers are taken out. Warren is thrown into a monitor and Cheryl goes down under a display.
* Xanatos is knocked over a rail, spinning and then slamming into the wall, he falls down onto his chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Armed civilians begin to move to secure the hanger, using explosives to take out defenses and other systems set up by Sera.
<Alicia> <Terra> *tries to get under cover herself, a little slow*
* Marcus` glances around as the explosions start to go off. "Oh dear god...we're going to die."
<DeathStar> 6* As Arhn and Hotaru move along into an elevator - a secure location down to a secure location - an explosion errupts, shaking the elevator and tilting it, as if it's about to drop.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick, having managed to dive into the only safe location, stands up unarmed as smoke rises about the bridge. Monitors flicker with damage.
* Xanatos groans from his soft spot on the floor.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... the elevator, again?" *stays very still, not wanting to make things worse*
* Seraphna stands slowly, with Elayne, Elayne's left sleeve burned off, a gauntlet flickering on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Troops step into the teleporter room and aim their weapons at Myria, ordering her to back away and kneel.
<Cassandra`> <Myria> "...ummm...ok..." *backs away and then kneels*
<DeathStar> 6 John groans, standing up. He wipes at the blood on his forehead.
* Cassandra` has quit IRC (Quit: See ya!)
<DeathStar> 6* They secure the room and shackle Myria.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Is.. everyone okay...?"
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet, wiping some blood from the side of his mouth. "Peachy." He breathes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands, his uniform smoking, and torn.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "How wonderful."
<DeathStar> <Warren> One day, I'll go evil, and kill you all. Slowly.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "What the hell was that? How'd they get a bomb up here?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh, I don't know, maybe they carried it?"
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Apparantly someone on the bridge is in his pocket.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains to free herself from the display monitor.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Seriously, some explosives can be pretty easy to hide."
<Xanatos> Least I asked before I went and did something dumb. *he breathes, holding his chest*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yeah, good on you."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everyone, status?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna curses under her breath
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Fine here, so's Sera."
* Seraphna waves silently
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... no serious injury..."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
<Xanatos> I think we're losing. *he notes, moving over to see if he can get one of the monitors online*
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Oh really. I'd never have noticed."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That was just to cripple our response time. 6She frees herself, her jacket ruined.
<Xanatos> Kyoui, shut the fuck up, please.
<Xanatos> NRP: Kyouki.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You first."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra, unconscious, is sprawled out.
* Xanatos just shakes his head.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You both shut the fuck up
<Alicia> <Terra> "Captain down."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to glance at the systems that aren't damaged.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "..." *glares at Xanatos*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, first thing's first. We need to free ourselves from the bridge. Kyouki, Xan, your job.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... understood."
<DeathStar> 6* The doorway has rubble and debris blocking it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands beside Cheryl. "Now, lets find where he would hide."
* Xanatos glances at Warren. THen moves over to begin moving rubble and debris away.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *moves to clear the rubble*
<DeathStar> 6* One of the torops begins to eye Marcus as they do patrols.
<DeathStar> 6* John kneels beside Cass.
<Alicia> <Terra> "How is she?"
<DeathStar> <John> She's fine. 6He slaps her face.
<Alicia> <Terra> *nods, looking relieved*
* Marcus` looks behind him, thinking the person is staring behind him.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "So... Arhn... I don't suppose you have any ideas?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you doubted my job to protect the captain?" *wipes some blood from her face*
<DeathStar> <John> You did good, Hotstuff.
* Xanatos continues to move debris, glancing at Kyouki. "What's your problem with me? Seriously, I never did anything to you."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "No, your insults were purely accidental, I'm sure."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Sera. "Hook up some of the computers. Get us some control back."
* Seraphna nods and gets to work, Elayne helping her.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "And I'm sure you had Erevis' best interests at heart, even while watching John try to kill her."
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs Cassandra's boobs. "This should revive her."
<Xanatos> I defended myself because you have done nothing but attack me with words since we've been on this damn ship. *he says, tossing a chuck of the wall off to the side*
* Xanatos just scoffs. "You have no idea what you are talking about."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *Slugs John*
<DeathStar> <John> Ow! Good to see you're firey still. She's down for the count, though.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... Oh, I'm sure. The fact that I've read your files is completely unimportant." *eyes Xan a moment* "And your mind."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel would wake up to find pain in her right arm, and the inability to move it, it seems. It's probably broken. And buried under debris.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna gets some power going.
* Ariel opens her eyes slowly, not making any sudden moves. She looks for Erevis.
* Xanatos just laughs at Kyouki. "I'll be sure to read your file and make my judgements of you based on those. Oh and good job reading my mind, even I don't listen too it."
<DeathStar> <John> ... Help me move her to the ready room. 6He grabs Cassandra's chest.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... no wonder you fuck up, then."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is sitting with her back to her, her legs sticking out, leaning against some debris. "You are awake. ... Good."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems the halway Ariel and Erevis is in has been completely sealed off from the bomb explosion.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "How the hell did you have her falling for you with no effort whatsoever...?"
* Xanatos just shakes his head. "So that's it? That's what it is." He smiles, "Funny."
<DeathStar> 6* John lifts up Cassandra.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... funny?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man with the gun turns his back on Marcus, not paying attention to him and some other civilians.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *helps, giving John the 'I'll kill you later. Painfully.' look*
<Alicia> <Terra> *helps too*
* Ariel sits up slowly, "...are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* John moves Cassandra to the ready room with Setsuna
<Xanatos> You're jealous of me. *he smiles, dragging some debris out of the way*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> .oO("I have no ideas at all, Hotaru." "Oh, shame.")
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am in pain. 6She glances over her shoulder. "And you?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *twitches* "... yes."
* Marcus` looks around at the others, trying to see how they are feeling by the looks in their eyes.
<Ariel> "I think my arm is broken."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren movs beside Sera. "Cheryl thinks Phaeton would be somewhere he could see the action. But he would need access to the systems. Tell me the best possible location for boht."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I also feel that you have needlessly and recklessly endangered her."
* Seraphna works on getting system controls back, pulls out her oversized datapad to use as a more efficient console.
<DeathStar> <John> We'll get payback for this, Setsuna.
* Xanatos just smiles. "I've did nothing to her that would cause her any danger. Least...not since we've been on this ship." He glances, up thinking abotu that.
<DeathStar> 6* They look scared. One is drinking himself to death
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is it serious?
* Marcus` frowns, looking back to the guard. Even if he did decide to attack the guard and get his gun, he wouldn't get any help from them.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...and it will be sweet."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... I also think you're a fool who makes comments on things he can't possibly understand."
<DeathStar> 6* John steps back out into the bridge.
* Seraphna signs "Engineering's main controls."
* Ariel closes her eyes. "I need something to bind it."
* Xanatos just laughs now. "I'm pretty sure this fool hit you pretty hard with his talk of things he couldn't understand."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What would be best?
<Seraphna> <You okay sis...?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rakes her hand through her hair.
<Ariel> "Anything I can tie tightly."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... right now, yes... trapped, but okay.>
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Purely by accident."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then rips her uniform sleeve off, then grabs an unjagged edge, but straight debris, then floats them both to Ariel, though it seems like they're drunk as they go haphazadly to her.
<Seraphna> <Alright, you be careful, I'm trying to get the systems back online.>
<Xanatos> Sure...because i'm that dumb. *he says with sarcasm in his voice*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Okay, we need to secure the civilian sector, the hanger, and engineering.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Just... be careful with the elevator.>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll take engineering. Maybe I can get Phaeton to stop this.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Maybe I should go with Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Sera should go. She'll be more useful down there. Maybe we can trap Phaeton. You know the civilian sector better, Terra. Go with Xan there.
<Alicia> <Terra> "But..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> That's an order.
<Alicia> <Terra> *sighs*
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos and Kyouki free the doorway.
* Seraphna nods a little herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing.
* Ariel braces herself against the wall as she places the bone, cringing in pain. She takes the objects from Erevis, and starts to make a splint.
* Xanatos glances at Kyouki. "Good job." He smiles politely. He then looks to Warren and simply nods.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Take whatever measures necessary to stop them.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I... thanks."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Kyouki, you and I will take the hanger.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *nods*
<DeathStar> <John> And me?
<DeathStar> <Warren> You and Setsuna, you two decide what's best for you and strike here. Lets move.
* Xanatos motions for Terra. "Come'on then." He glances to Kyouki. "Be careful." Is says simply before sliding out of the bridge, pulling out his pistols.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out.
<DeathStar> <John> Where to, Avenging Angel Setsuna?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... alright..." *seems a little surprised*
<Alicia> <Terra> *heads out after Xan*
* Seraphna looks hesitant to ask somethign as she looks at Cheryl.
* Marcus` looks uneasy, he begins to rubs his hands together nervously.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets go. 6She hurries out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did that do the job?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Avenging Angel? You've got the wrong gal." *shakes her head* "What are we dealing with?"
* Seraphna moves after her.
* Ariel pulls it tight. "It should suffice, for what we have to work with."
* Xanatos glances back to Terra as they go. "Try to disarm them, only shoot to kill if you HAVE too."
<DeathStar> <John> Sounds like we got three hotspots. Warren can handle the hanger. That leaves us with the engineering or the civilian area."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yeah.. I know."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good. 6She still doesn't move to turn to face Ariel, just glancing back over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her datapad, working on sending a secure message to someone, not using the comm. system.
<Xanatos> Keep your head down and be careful. I'd hate to lose one of my recruits. *he notes in reference to suggesting her to become a pilot*
* Seraphna looks at Cheryl, keeping easy pace with her.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors suddenly open.
<DeathStar> 6* And an electric bolt hits Hotaru.
* Ariel moves over to Erevis, checking what's wrong with her.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Gah!" *is zapped, moving to protect Arhn anyway*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "... I want to say civilian, but that's not my area of expertise."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there, with a piece of jagged metal lodged in her stomach on the left side. She seems to have stained her blue uniform red, her face a little sweaty. "I do not see a way out."
<DeathStar> 6* The person just drags Hotaru off, leaving Arhn behind
<DeathStar> <John> Hm. More enemies there.
* Seraphna blinks
<Alicia> <Terra> "You think this is going to be the tough job?"
<Seraphna> <Sis...?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works her way, but sees engineering locked down. She scowls.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *is completely silent, for some reason*
* Xanatos checks over his pistols carefully, making sure these are in working condition. "Yeah, this is serious."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the hanger, noticing it locked down.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "We looking at non-lethal here?"
<Alicia> <Terra> *nods, checking her pistol too, though she'd prefer not to have to use it*
* Seraphna shakes her head, signing, "I can get us in."
<DeathStar> <John> Any means necessary, though that's last resort.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...non-lethal last?"
* Xanatos gets close to civillian, his eyes his eyes to switch to heat vision in an attempt to get a count of the enemy troops.
<DeathStar> 6* John tenses as he hears sounds of movement coming toward the bridge. "Shit, looks like they're coming this way. Possiblely to take control of hte ship>"
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be 35 troops.
* Seraphna approaches a door carefully, heading for the panel next to it.
<Alicia> <Terra> *follows, keeping alert*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters a code into the doorway, working on overriding it.
* Xanatos makes a face and motions to Terra the number, using his hands.
* Ariel looks to Erevis, and cuts a piece of cloth, quickly preparing a ring bandage. "...we need to get to medical."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *moves to Warren*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would oblige, if I saw how. 6She says with a ghost of a smile.
* Xanatos slides to a stop against the wall. "We need whittle down their numbers." He notes, a frown on his face.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Non-lethally? That's going to be tough."
* Seraphna opens the panel and works on overriding the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren finally overrides the panel. He holds up fingers, counting down. 3. 2. 1.
* Xanatos nods, "You're telling me..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tenses as the doors open. She grabs Sera and spins back and away as blaster fire rains in.
* Marcus` moves over and grabs a bottle of beer, drinking it. He stands close to the guard, staring at the ground as he drinks.
<DeathStar> 6* The hanger doors open and a grenade rolls in between Warren and Kyouki
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *grabs Warren and gets the hell AWAY from the grenade*
<DeathStar> 6* Hotaru is awakened to find her hands cuffed together and chained ot the floor.
* Ariel bandages Erevis' wounds... field medicine for the win. "...hold on." She starts looking for what she'd presume to be the thinest wall.
* Xanatos rubs his chin. "We need a diversion..." He smacks his head trying to think of something.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "..." <... well, that sucked.>
<DeathStar> 6* The explosion sends Kyouki and Warren sliding.
<DeathStar> 6* Thomas Garland kneels there in front of Hotaru. "Hello, my dear Hotaru."
<Seraphna> <You okay?>
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna arms herself with a blunt object. She didn't equip herself for riots this morning.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... you?!"
<DeathStar> 6* John hides, and when four troops run in, he leaps out and grabs one in a shoulder hold.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... I... don't know...>
* Xanatos glances at Terra. "Grenades...right? You carry any flash grenades?"
<DeathStar> <Garland> I'm glad you remember me.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'm not going to forget my ex-pilot."
<DeathStar> 6* The walls all seem rather durable. Erevis watches her, her breathing coming in short breaths.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Flash aren't normally my thing, but... I can do it."
* Seraphna looks to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Garland> Good. 6He appears to be wearing a cross around his neck. "Last we met, you tried to kill me, Hotaru."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl presses against a wall, waiting the fire out.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "You were going to kill many more."
* Seraphna is apparently pressed to the wall
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Warren.. are you alright?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Duck your head around the corner and see how many they are. 6She notes, showing her teeth
<DeathStar> 6* Four troops step out to find Kyouki and Warren, turning toward Kyouki when she talks.
<Xanatos> Here, let me do it. I'm going to try and lead a few away, take care of them, then come back and take care of the rest. I want you to hang back and keep the ones here occupied. Can you handle it?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna clubs one across the shoulders as they enter.
* Seraphna rolls her eyes
* Seraphna grabs her bag, pulling out a mirror.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland smiles. "I'm only doing God's work, Hotaru."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *looks towards the troops, weighing them up*
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be eight, from what Sera can count.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Oh, not that bullshit again..."
<DeathStar> 6* they open fire on Kyouki. Warren grabs her this time and rolls them out of the way.
* Ariel focuses herself... and slams her blade into the wall.
<DeathStar> <Garland> Tell me, Hotaru. Do you not see the corruption of this universe yet? Your fellow teammates are killers and murderers.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *nods in thanks to Warren*
* Xanatos moves to grab Terra's flash grenade from her. "Go around that corner. Set your pistol to stun." He says as he slides his to stun as well.
<Alicia> <Terra> *does so, moving into position*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires at the troops, nailing one.
<Alicia> <Terra> *sets her pistol to stun, that is*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *fires on a second*
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna clubs one, and John flips one into a wall. One fires at Setsuna, and the other clubs John in the face wiht his gun
* Xanatos edges around to make sure all of the 34 troops are just abotu clustered in the same area.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall cracks. It is no might for a Dragoon's blade.
* Seraphna peeks around the corner using the mirror.
<DeathStar> 6* Tehy aren't. Nice try.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Murderers...? Really, you have no room to make comments like that."
<DeathStar> <Garland> I'm cleansing this world. I was hoping you'd understand.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna moves in low to shoulder butt the man. Not going to give him the space to aim.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... you've gotten sick."
<DeathStar> <Garland> I can tell this conversation will be useless.
* Xanatos looks around for the best possible group of troops. He pulls the pin and tosses the flash grenade in, waiting before it goes off before he turns around the corner and begins to fire at men that aren't stunned from the blast.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Tell me, how many innocents do you think will die because of this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Serena can see eight troops. They stop shooting.
<Alicia> <Terra> *moves to shoot any others that aren't stunned*
<DeathStar> <Garland> No one is innocent, Hotaru.
* Seraphna puts it away and signs 8.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl isn't there when she turns.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "You plan to kill everyone then. Figures."
* Ariel cuts a path, then goes back for Erevis. "...we need to move quickly. Will you be alright?"
<DeathStar> <Garland> No. I plan to make you se the light.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What would that 'light' be?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm afraid quickly is not an option. This body appears to be dying.
* Seraphna blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, steadies herself, then opens her eyes again.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland pulls out a needle, holding it up to Hotaru's neck. "You'll see."
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna nails her guard, and John knees his in the balls.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Bastard..."
<Ariel> 6* A piece of debris flys at Garland's head
<DeathStar> 6* Six people are blinded, then Terra shoots other people. This causes the other 28 that aren't blind to note them
<DeathStar> 6* Garland is hit, dropping the needle.
<DeathStar> 6* John punches his guard one more tie.
* Xanatos moves his arm to fire at various troops, as he falls back into the halls, attempting to lead them in after him.
<DeathStar> 6* As Sera blinks, Cheryl comes landing on top of the eight soldiers. she begnis to tear into htem, breaking arms and legs and other parts
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Kyouki manage to peg two of the four, who then fire into them.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *moves under cover again*
* Seraphna peeks around the corner, pulling out her gun, not sure if Cheryl even wants help.
* Ariel picks up Erevis, winces as she is forced to use her damaged arm. "...hold on. Don't you give up." She starts to hurry towards medical.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren dives around, trying to flank them.
<Alicia> <Terra> *keeps firing, despite the odds, moving for cover*
* Marcus` glances up as there is a distraction, he steps forward and moves to slam the bottle into the back of his guard.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna headbutts her guard, then cracks his head on her knee.
<Marcus`> NRP: guard's head.
<DeathStar> 6* The civilian guards move inside buildings and what not, getting in with the hostages. 'cept Marcus' gurad.
<DeathStar> 6* John and Setsuna are victories.
<Seraphna> <Sis, you still there?>
<DeathStar> 6* As Ariel hurries, she comes across five armed troops, who turn to face her.
<DeathStar> <Garland> Who dares?!
<DeathStar> 6* Garland whips around.
<Ariel> 6* Em lunges at Garland from the opposite direction of the debris, and trys to club him over the head with a wrench.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <... yeah... did you know Garland is still alive?> "EM!"
<DeathStar> 6* Garland howls in pain. He responds with a knee at her gut
* Xanatos frowns as they did not take the bait, he had hoped they were a bit dumber than that, he slide back around the corner and moves to get some cover, using his eye to look for open shots.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *struggles to get free*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands over the eight men, who whimper in pain. Some blood is splashed on her.
<Ariel> 6* Em stumbles back... not as tough of a fighter as she could be.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland swings his fist at Em's face.
<Seraphna> <...is that your old pilot? No I didn't.>
<Ariel> 6* Em hops back, expecting the punch.
<DeathStar> 6* One guard throws a grenade at Kyouki
<DeathStar> 6* Garland activates his scythe, then twirls it and swings it at Em.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *moves away, shooting the guard*
<DeathStar> <John> Well, that was fun
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clubs his guard.
<Ariel> 6* Em moves WAAY back. Not getting close to that
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining 25 troops are all well ebedded.
* Seraphna tilts her head at Cheryl, as if to enquire if she enjoyed herself.
<DeathStar> <Garland> I will kill your pilot, Hotaru
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just eyes Sera, then turns and moves into the engineering area.
* Xanatos glances to see just how many building are being occupied.
<DeathStar> 6* Eight.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Then I'll kill you."
<DeathStar> 6* Garland lunges at Em, trying to impale her.
* Seraphna follows after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the hanger. "There could be more."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *nods* "Be careful."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmm. I'm always careful.
* Ariel shoots towards the cieling, hoping to hit maintainence piping. Something to keep them off guard. She needs to keep moving.
* Marcus` steps forward and lifts up the guard's gun, he glances around. "Please, help me tie him up." He tells some of the men still in the bar.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *moves towards the hangar*
<DeathStar> 6* The troops eye the shot, stepping back, but they don't give her opening to get by them.
<Ariel> Em> *jumps to the side, parrying with the wrench*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *tries to summon her scythe, and cut herself free with that*
<Ariel> Em> "You're yesterday's news." *actually struggling to hold her ground*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Kyouki enter the hanger. It appears deserted.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *scans for minds8
<DeathStar> 6* Garland suddenly uses his free hand to throw something in her eyes to blind he
* Marcus` eyes the people just standing there and just moves to tie up the guard himself, hanging the rifle on his back while he works.
<DeathStar> 6* Hotaru appears to have a dampening field on her
<DeathStar> 6* The troops, after being distracted by the pipe, fire, trying to locate and hit Ariel.
* Xanatos motions for Terra to lay down cover fire.
<Alicia> <Terra> *nods, and does so*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in slowly, scanning the empty engineering area.
<Ariel> 6* Em, unfortunately for Garland, sees it coming. And uses the one telekinetic trick she has. Straight force. She pushes the device back at Garland's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland howls in anger, spinning aay.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *continues to try to free herself*
<DeathStar> 6* A fighter slowly turns to aim at Kyouki
<Ariel> 6* Em throws the wrench at his head, and tries to steal the scythe
<DeathStar> 6* Garland hits the ground and Em gets his scythe
<DeathStar> 6* The troops tense up as Terra fires
<Ariel> 6* Ariel charges through. She stays towards the side of the corridor, trying to avoid fire.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *fires on the fighter, moving for cover* "Warren, get behind something!"
<Ariel> 6* Em hurries to cut Hotaru free. "Bastard... you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets behind Kyouki
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... mostly."
* Xanatos runs around and attempts to get into the leftern-most occupied building, firing at any troops that may attack him.
<DeathStar> 6* As Ariel charges, one of the bigger troops sees her and tackles into her, swatting at her bad arm.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I should be better once I'm out of this."
<DeathStar> 6* Xan hits two troops, but one grabs a young woman and sticks his gun against her head. "Stay back!"
<DeathStar> 6* A shadow falls over Sera from behind.
* Xanatos slides to a stop, holding both of his hands up. "Come'on man. This isn't the way."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Are you alright?"
<DeathStar> <Man> Drop the gun!
<DeathStar> 6* Em frees Hotaru. Zelda music.
* Xanatos drops both of the guns. "You can't believe that taking over this ship will do us any good."
<DeathStar> <Man> Kick the gun to me. Do it
* Seraphna turns to stop whatever it is.
* Xanatos does so.
* Ariel winces, but she doesn't stop. That likely did some damage to her arm though, even with the splint
* Dias has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridarium punches Sera hard enough it feel like her jaw dislocated.
<DeathStar> 6* The man then fires at her back, dead on aim
* Seraphna flies back into a wall.
<DeathStar> (Ariel)
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *gets up* "Is Michiru alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns, her eyes widening at the four Ridariums, wearing some sort of neural devices. "Holy shit."
<Ariel> 6* Em turns to face Garland after Hotaru is free... not going to let him get the drop on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland stands up.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *faces Garland herself*
* Marcus` stands up from tying up the guard and moves over the window to peek out. He sees Terra firing on the troops and motions to get her attention.
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter fires at Kyouki
<DeathStar> 6* The hostage holder eyes Xan suspiciously.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *keeps moving, trying to stay behind cover* "How do we fight this thing?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> By being smart.
<Xanatos> Come'on man, I put my gun down, why don't you do the same?
<DeathStar> 6* The hostage holder aims at Xan and fires at his gut
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *nods, trying to circle around the fighter*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps it's attention by firing at the glass.
* Ariel can't do much to stop the man. She can't dodge on this angle, and she has nothing to defend. She can only hope that she can make it to the infirmary.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel makes it into the infirmary - and finds 5 more troops, having tkaen Peace hostage. They aim at her.
* Xanatos slides to the left, the bullet sliding across his stomach, he dashes forward, slamming a punch out for the man.
<DeathStar> 6* The man, quicker than Xan, fires again for his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her energy whips as the four Ridariums move in.
* Seraphna stands slowly, locking her jaw into place, her eyes glaring.
* Xanatos not expecting this, jerks his body to the right, the bullet taking a piece of his cheek, he should be close enough now to take the man down with a punch.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Find Phaeton.
<DeathStar> 6* The man uses the woman to take the punch
<DeathStar> <Garland> ARGH. 6Wipes his eyes clean and faces Em and Hotaru
<DeathStar> 6* Kyouki gets behind the fighter.
* Ariel slowly puts Erevis down, making no sudden moves.
* Xanatos stops before he hits the woman, moving his hand to try and grab the man's gun. Blood pouring down the side of his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis coughs, turning to face them.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *tries to find a way to get inside*
<DeathStar> 6* The man shoves the woman into Xan and steps back, getting distance. He aims at her back and fires.
<DeathStar> <Warren> For godsake, just shoot the engine or something.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "That works." *shoots the engine*
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter's engine explode.s
* Xanatos jerks her around, taking the shot in the shoulder, he pushes her away and pulls out a knife, throwing it out for the man.
<DeathStar> 6* The man is hit and goes down.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland rotates his neck.
<Ariel> "...Erevis. Just rest." *slowly moves to face the men*
<DeathStar> <Infirmary Guards> Raise your hands.
* Xanatos frowns and picks up his guns, aiming and firing a stunning shot for the man, just in case.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are... injured. I will...hardly...stand by... 6She strains to get up
<Ariel> Em> *rolls her eyes* "What is wrong with you?"
<DeathStar> 6* A guard sneaks up behind Terra, aiming a gun into her back,
<Alicia> <Terra> *spins to shoot the guard*
* Ariel looks back at Erevis, "No." She says it firmly. She's... angry. Her friend is in danger, and this is stupid.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard, hardly dumb enough to let her spin entirely around to shoot him, shoots her in the side.
* Seraphna heads off to find her target.
* Marcus` aims through the window and fires a shot at the man attacking Terra. Taking his time to make sure he aims right.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come on. Lets fight. 6She dashes in at the Ridariums.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Fucker..." *still shoots*
<DeathStar> 6* The man is shot by Marcus
* Seraphna moves like she couldn't with Cherly, moving through areas no one else knows.
<DeathStar> 6* Then dies.
<DeathStar> <Infirmary Guards> Did you just say NO?
<Alicia> <Terra> *holds her side*
* Marcus` stares, his mouth drops. "I...I...." his hands start to shake.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "You know... I've been wondering that for a while now."
<DeathStar> <Garland> ... 6He dashes away into a hallway.
* Ariel looks to the guards. "Let her be treated, and guarentee her safety, and I will surrender."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... and how the hell did he get on board?!"
* Xanatos rips his undershirt to move and patch up his wounds, now having a piece of shirt wrapped around his face. He glances at the woman and then moves to take a back route into the next building.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton sits in his chair as Sera reaches the room. "Hm."
<Ariel> 6* Em looks to Hotaru.
<DeathStar> <Infirmary Guard> I give the orders around here. 6He steps up into Ariel's face.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Could be a trap.."
* Seraphna glares at this guy, this guy who's fucked with her ship far too long.
<Alicia> <Terra> *looks to Marcus* "Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton turns to face Seraphna.
* Seraphna fires her gun at him, not that she can really exchange words.
* Xanatos sneaks into the next building, getting a number and location of all the guards as well as any hostages nearby.
* Ariel eyes the guard warningly, "...do not make me angrier than I already am."
<Alicia> <Terra> *goes after anyway*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *goes after, rather*
* Marcus` just seems to be shaking, his eyes wide.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton moves his head. A defensive system zaps Seraphna as she fires at him, sending spasms through her body
<Ariel> "I am being generous."
<Alicia> <Terra> "... Hey... it's okay... you did what you had to do..."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Shooting an unarmed man. Hm. Your father would be proud of his daughter.
* Seraphna growls mutely and shakes, falling back.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton kicks the gun away.
<Marcus`> I...I...killed...*he says in a gasped breath, his hands tightly latched onto the gun.*
* Seraphna glares at him.
<Alicia> <Terra> "..." *moves to try to patch up her side*
<DeathStar> 6* The infirmary guard jabs the gun in Ariel's face, when his hand suddenly makes a snapping sound. He snarls.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Stay down. 6He moves back to his seat.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... yeah."
* Seraphna tries to move a little.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> I wouldn't.
<DeathStar> 6* The other troops in the infirmary stare as their leader drops his gun, holding his broken hand and wailing
* Xanatos makes sure to fires onto any enemies that would be close to civillians before moving onto the ones that aren't as close.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... don't worry... no-one could blame you for that."
* Seraphna looks around the room.
* Ariel grabs the gun with her good arm, and melts it into two pieces. She looks at the other guards.
* Marcus` finally drops the gun, stumbling back some. "I...I..." he just stammers.
<DeathStar> <Guards> ... 6They lift their guns at Ariel and fire.
<Seraphna> <Sis, relay to Cheryl, he has shacking defenses.>
<DeathStar> 6* As Hotaru hurries through the hallways, she would find no sign of Garland.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Cheryl... they use electric shocks to stun...>
<Seraphna> *shocking
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Did you know, Serena Cran, how many men your father murdered?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives no hint she's even hearing.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <...>
<DeathStar> 6* Garland swings a leadpipe down on Hotaru's neck.
* Ariel dives behind the denses object she can find, and hopes Ervis doesn't do anything stupid
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *moves, grabbing the pipe mid-swing*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crawls along, leaving her blood behind, then mentally hurls a tray at a guard.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland, counting on that, hits her with a stunner to the gut
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *then punches straight at Garland's nose*
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Hundreds. 6He answers, knowing Sera can't answer.
* Seraphna stares at him, obviously unable to answer.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Your system is corrupted. Did you know that someone has specifically targetted John McCormick to die? And been monitoring you?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *takes the blow, but lands her own*
* Seraphna stares at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland tilts his head, aviding the blow.
* Ariel counts that as stupid. She comes up behind cover long enough to fire at the guards. Yes, she can do that. Most people forget.
* Seraphna tilts her head, having thought he was it of course.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "..." *kicks at Garland's side*
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel takes down two guards, then Erevis knocks one down. The infirmary is clear.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> ... 6He turns to face her. "You all are just puppets."
<Ariel> "Doctor! You have a patient!" *helps Erevis back to a table*
<DeathStar> 6* Garland leaps back. He seems to have gotten better.
* Seraphna very weakly shakes her head
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Especially you.
<Alicia> <Peacemaker> "... thanks for the rescue." *moves to treat Erevis quickly*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis coughs up fluids, then drops her head back.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *continues her assault, throwing kicks and punches repeatedly at Garland*
<DeathStar> 6* Garland steps back, avoiding attack after attack. "Hotaru."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Garland."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> How many people have you killed, Serena Cran? T
<DeathStar> <Garland> You're so full of hate, Hotaru. What happened to the girl I knew?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "That's funny. What happened to the guy I knew?"
<DeathStar> <Garland> Hm. 6He moves in close to her now.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "And anyway, aren't you the one wanting to 'cleanse' the world?"
* Xanatos continues to work, moving through each house, attacking those that are close to hostages, and then the others second. He makes sure to be as stealthy as possible.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *doesn't let her guard down at all*
<DeathStar> 6* Xan and Terra clear out the civilian sector.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... what now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Garland presses his hidden gun against Hotaru's weak point. "Goodbye."
<Ariel> "...just do you best."
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton turns back. "Tell me. Do you think Spade is really gone?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Ariel, her expression unreadable.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *moves to knock Garland away with a punch*
<DeathStar> 6* Garland is hit.
* Seraphna nods
* Xanatos motions to the stunned guards. "We should cuff em all, and make sure everyone else is ok." He says in a muffled voice, his face wrapped up from his wound.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> *shakes his head with disdain*
<Ariel> 6* Em clonks Garland over the head. She was watching. "If I'm going to let you two deal with this yourselves, fight fair dammit!"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "You won't give up your idiotic 'mission'?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Phaeton. 6She steps in, covered in blood from head to toe, looking like a mass murder.
* Marcus` just leans against the outside of the bar, staring at the ground.
<DeathStar> <Garland> No.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I... guess so."
<DeathStar> 6* Garland falls to his knees. Em's blow seems to have hurt.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... my mercy's running low."
<DeathStar> <Garland> Then end it.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton turns. "Cheryl. Just as I remembered you. A beautiful, deadly weapon.'
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *sadly* "... I wanted to save you..." *summons her scythe, tearfully*
<DeathStar> <Garland> Then save me.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> It is wonderful the two children of Cran should be here today. A shame the third one seems to be gone.
<Xanatos> Go ahead and do that. I'll go talk to him. *he moves over to Marcus, leaving Terra to start.* You ok?
* Marcus` glances up, then back down. "I...killed..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
* Xanatos frowns and nods his head once. "Yes, but if you haden't...then Terra might've died."
<Ariel> Em> "...you want to die?"
* Seraphna stands slowly. She looks at Cheryl, somethign dawning on her.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... you... really want to die that badly?"
<DeathStar> <Garland> If you want to win, Hotaru, you can show your enemy no mercy.
* Ariel stays by Erevis' side. Worriedly.
<Ariel> Em> "You're wrong."
* Marcus` shakes his head. "I still killed...I took another life...what if he had a family?"
<DeathStar> <Garland> I'll keep coming back. Killing over and over. Unless you stop me now.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What sort of victory is that?"
<Ariel> Em> "That's no victory."
* Seraphna mouths, "My sister?"
<DeathStar> <Garland> Each person who dies will be on your hands.
* Xanatos frowns, "He knew what risks he was taking when he picked up that gun."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Oh yes. Cheryl. General Cran's pride and joy - his most deadly weapon. No mercy for her enemies. Slaughter. A weapon unlike any other. It's why she was paired up with me.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "..." *puts the scythe away* "You're going to get help..."
<DeathStar> 6* Garland laughs, kissing the cross. "Mmm. You'll remember this moment, Hotaru."
<Marcus`> Oh? And that makes it ok that I killed him!? But then I guess killing is real easy when you do it all the time, huh? I saw. You're nothing but a murderer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up her energy whip at Phaeton's throat. "Call this off, Phaeton. Stop it now."
<Alicia> <Terra> *cuffs the prisoners, listening*
<Ariel> 6* Em looks silently to Hotaru.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "The moment I chose to save someone over killing them? Sure."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> It's why you hate her and Chad Winters so much. They were accepted by him. And you were discarded after you had no more enemies for Cran to kill. This is your legacy, Serena Cran.
* Xanatos frowns and looks off to the side. "I'm a soldier, son. And sometimes you can't help but kill, it isn't something that I am proud of, but it is something I have to do."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Why, though? Why did you do this?"
<Marcus`> Right, and I'm sure you just killed those 10 innocent people because it was your job?
* Seraphna shakes her head, her dad wouldn't do that...
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> See, Cheryl? Daddy's girl. What does that make you?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls in rage, and whips at Phaeton, like he hoped. He talked her right into rage, He ducks, metal claws appearing out his gauntlet, and he stops Cheryl in her weak spot. She drops.
<DeathStar> <Garland> I'm afraid ther'es no answers for you. 6He just kneels there, as if praying.
* Seraphna snaps her wrist to the side, glaring at him, that was her sister.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances back at the ceiling.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... please. I need to know if I'm going to cure you."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> I did her a favor. Without a war, Cheryl is nothing.
* Xanatos suddenly gets a dark look on his face. "One of those people was a very good friend of mine. And until you know just what the hell you are talking about, you'd best watch what you say." He moves to help Terra now.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... is he alright? The first time is... always hardest..."
* Marcus` scoffs, "Yeah, that's right. Walk away from the truth." He turns and steps into the bar, getting a beer and downing it.
<Xanatos> ...he should be fine. *he says rather shortly*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels there, taking angered breaths, holding her own blood back with her hand. "Bastard."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Great... I know what he's going through."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Do you know how I got the nickname "Wiendigo", Serena?
<Ariel> 6* Em moves quickly, and stabs Garland.
* Seraphna shakes her head, her stance, while weak, seems ready.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Allow me to show you. 6He takes the claws and rears back to slash Cheryl's throat.
* Xanatos just glances at her and nods. "Sorry I got you shot. They didn't react how I expected." He says, not seeming to mind his own wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Garland opens his eyes, his mouth dropping. He makes a gasping sound. "It.. wasn't meant to be...you.."
* Seraphna moves fast, pressing herself as she rushes into him, her fist in his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton, as if counting on that, rears back , twisting so he misses, then rakes her along the back.
<Ariel> Em> "...I couldn't let you hurt her."
<DeathStar> <Garland> You denied her...the light... 6He falls back in his own blood
* Seraphna seems to fly forward a little, oddly, she skids.
<Ariel> Em> *deactivates the scythe, and drops it*
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton shakes his claws, shaking blood off. "Slow."
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... what light?" *shakes her head and sighs*
<DeathStar> 6* John suddenly busts in, causing Phaeton to turn.
* Xanatos finishes up and moves over to sit, his back against the wall, he exhales slowly.
<Ariel> Em> "...I'm sorry Hota."
<DeathStar> <John> Flaming Punch! 6His fist lights up in flames and he punches at Phaeton.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... it's alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton dodges John, then knees him in the balls.
* Seraphna moves as Wein attack John, punching at his back hard.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton is hit in the back, grunting as he steps forward.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna moves in as Phaeton goes for John, "...you're not a movie hero!" 6She goes for a boot to the head.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I just wonder why he wanted me to kill him so badly..."
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton is hit i nthe head, flying back over some controls.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I guess it doesn't matter now."
* Seraphna pulls out her other gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton rises. "Hm."
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Will you kill me now?
<Alicia> <Peacemaker> "She should be fine now..."
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton drops th eclaws and raises his hands.
* Seraphna shoots. His leg.
* Ariel nods, still looking concerned. She tries to check on the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton, unarmed, is hit in the leg. He falls to one knee.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up.
* Seraphna aims again.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton keeps the hand sup
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna frowns. Even she wouldn't do it this way.
* Seraphna nods to John, to take him into custody.
* Seraphna keeps her gun trained right between his eyes.
<DeathStar> <John> ... Why do I sense a trap?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you too?" *watches the console*
* Xanatos keeps his guns in his hand, knowing that they could still be attacked.
<DeathStar> 6* John approaches Phaeton.
* Seraphna watches Wein, leaving it up to the other two unless someone wants to actually take over.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets up, spitting blood. "Kill the bastard."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna steps forward as well, making sure he can't reach the controls. "...make sure you search him, this time."
* Seraphna looks very tempted by Cheryl's words.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do it. He'll just make our lives a living hell.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Your father's legacy, Serena.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs Phaeton and restrains him.
<DeathStar> 6* He then searches him over.
<Seraphna> .oO(I am my own person.)
<Ariel> Em> "...you know. I think I actually need a drink." 6She stumbles, looking like she's going to be sick.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She hisses, then storms out, holding her bleeding side.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *helps Em along* "Are you hurt?"
<DeathStar> <John> Come on, Wiendy, lets get you a nice jail cell. 6He shoves Phaeton along
<Ariel> 6* Em shakes her head. "...I'll be alright."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna escourts.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays in the bed, unusually quiet as she stares at the ceiling, as if contemplating.
* Seraphna goes to the controls, looking them over carefully for traps before restoring control.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, getting acknowledgement of Phaeton's apphrending, scales back the alert status and gets repair crews going. He grunts. This is far from over. Phaeton in a cell will be even more dangerous
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *takes Em to the bar, then, as long as she's alright*
* Xanatos glances over at Terra. "You know that sound. It sounds like we won, for now."
<Alicia> <Terra> "... but they'll come back..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks into the civilian quarter, covered in head to toe in blood and brain bits. Her blonde hair red now fro mit.
<Seraphna> "...Systems restored."
* Seraphna taps to Med lab to have a team get Cheryl before she bleeds to death.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick passes Phaeton on the way to the jail cell, and he turns to stare at him.
<Xanatos> And we'll be here to stop them. *he pulls himself up to his feet, he glances over at Cheryl.* You ok? *he eyes her*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... I... can't help wondering... was that the right thing to do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores Xan and walks into the bar, grabbing the rocket fuel.
* Seraphna shakes her head, it was probably the wrong thing, but making him a Martyr was bad too.
* Marcus` just eyes Cheryl. He stands after a moment and leaves.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> I'll see you in the next hand.
<DeathStar> 6* John shoves Phaeton into the cell. "I'd like to see you cause trouble from in here, buddy."
<Ariel> Em> "...he would have kept coming, and coming. Until he destroyed you."
* Marcus` moves past everyone and goes into his room, locking it behind him.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Hmm. I think we'll see many more interesting things, McCormick. You know the power one has in a cell.
<DeathStar> 6* He sits down, tending to his knee.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Or until I succeeded..."
* Xanatos glances to Terra. "There should be some men to come and round up these. I'm going to go get patched up then give my report to Warren. Don't forget to have that side looked at, alright?
* Seraphna looks down at the monitors, so many things running through her mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl notes everyone visibly move away from her, as if revolted.
<Alicia> <Terra> *growls a little at the last bit* "Don't mention the side..."
<Xanatos> You heard me. *he says in a serious tone, moving off towards the medical bay*
* Ariel finally speaks up, "...what's troubling you?"
<Ariel> 6* Em looks down, not answering that.
* Seraphna limps out of there, alone. <Dunno if I did the right thing. But what's done is done.>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mm. For a brief moment, I thought of Chad's words. How he was happy as he was dying.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... Garland's dead... but... I wanted to save him... somehow."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <You too?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks, stinking of death
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Maybe... maybe I gave him the chance to save himself...?"
* Ariel nods... she can understand the sentiment.
<Ariel> Em> "He didn't want to be saved... he had no interest in leaving where he was. He... just wanted to drag you there too."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "He seemed to want me to kill him..."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Then he'd have failed."
* Xanatos steps into the medical bay after the walk from civillian. He glances at Erevis and Ariel and then glances away, moving over to a table to wait on Peace.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "You read his thoughts?"
<Seraphna> <I'm not a killer, I don't want to be... it's frustrating, no matter how evil these guys are, they aren't the real enemy.>
<DeathStar> 6* John stands next to Setsuna after it's over. "I can't help but think Phaeton used our own problems against us."
<Ariel> 6* Em hesitates, but nods. "...I couldn't let him do that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes when Xan enters.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I know his type. He has backup plans for his backup plans."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Then show mercy?>
<DeathStar> <John> He almost seemed eager to get in that cell.
<DeathStar> <John> And if he's not our hacker, Setsuna, who the hell is?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *just nods to Em* "I... at least I tried."
<Seraphna> <Heh... wanna hear somethign funny?>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <What?>
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits beside Cheryl. "You should clean up."
<Alicia> <Terra> *heads to the bar*
<Seraphna> <Both of my direct siblings appear to hate me.>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I felt this look suited me.
* Xanatos slowly pulls the make-shift bandage off to reveal the gap in his jaw, "Think you can fix it?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <...both?>
<Seraphna> <Cheryl.>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <She still hasn't forgiven you for... well, for being Spade's pawn.>
<Seraphna> <She hasn't forgiven herself either.>
<Ariel> Setsuna> "That, I have no clue. Wish I did. These guys are getting on my nerves."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Don't be stupid. I'm sick of stupidity. 6He grabs Cheryl's arm before she can object. "You are more than a weapon, or you'll prove me an idiot for forgiving you. Now move it."
<DeathStar> <John> I hear you. 6He pats Setsuna on the butt like one would on the back
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, then lets Warren lead her out of the bar.
<Seraphna> <...What am I doing, I should talk to her.>
<Seraphna> <Screw this hiding stuff.>
<DeathStar> 6* Warren marches along with his arm around Cheryl's. People stare at her bloody sight and wonder if she was behind the recent bombinbs.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos is given special doctor healing.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *punches John in the gut, like someone would punch someone in the gut*
<DeathStar> 6* John gasps and falls over.
* Xanatos just nods his thanks before he gets up and leaves.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes after Xan is gone. She strains to sit up, holding her wound.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...I didn't hit you that hard. Drama queen."
<DeathStar> <John> Pain! Need CPR!
* Ariel watches Erevis curiously.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I'll call Xanatos."
* Seraphna heads out to look for Cheryl... her... ummm... big sister.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters Cheryl's codes, then leads her in. "Shower."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scowls at him, then moves into the bathroom and strips. Warren turns
* Seraphna heads to Cheryl's place.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *takes a breath, but then wisely stays put, not stupid enough to prove herself by leaving*
<Dias> NRP: *Sera decides to check the last place she'd ever be first, instead of the 1st place 1st.
* Ariel still hasn't had her arm seen to.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Doctor.
<Alicia> <Peacemaker> *goes to fix Ariel's arm, then glances over* "Hmm?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *nods to Ariel* Please look at her arm and her back.
* Seraphna knocks
<Alicia> <Peacemaker> *nods, looking at Ariel's back as well, then*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens the door.
* Xanatos checks over himself, then moves back for the bridge, to wait and give his report.
<DeathStar> 6* The bridge is empty. It remains so for hours.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I wonder what could've driven him mad like that..."
* Seraphna looks at Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
* Ariel says nothing, but isn't about to resist.
<Seraphna> ...
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches quietly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you, Ariel, again.
<Alicia> <Peacemaker> "She's very much a heroine."
* Ariel shakes her head at then. "...a stubborn soldier, prehaps."
* Seraphna sighs silently and signs, "She
* Seraphna sighs silently and signs, "She's here?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A friend.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. She's taking a shower.
* Seraphna signs, "May I wait for her?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmm. 6He studies her, almost intimdiatingly.
<Alicia> <Peacemaker> "No, I think you've made heroine status."
* Seraphna looks back at him, normally when discussing being anywhere near Cheryl, she doesn't have quite this kind of fire in her eyes.
* Ariel nods, "A friend? That I won't refute."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps aside.
* Xanatos pulls up his datapad, writing up a report and filing it for one of the Captain to read. He steps off of the bridge and moves along the hall.
<Alicia> <Peacemaker> "And a good friend, I'm sure."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just watches, her hands on the bed, her legs dangling, looking almost like a woman who's just sitting on a brick fence, despite her bloodied clothes.
* Seraphna steps in and limps a little still, taking a seat.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You could just enter the shower and talk. I'm sure she would be too stunned to beat you up.
* Seraphna signs, "Chad gave you too many fantasies."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very well. But once she's dressed, she'll hurt you.
* Seraphna shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's arm is mended by the amazing Peacemaker.
<DeathStar> 6* John, after abuse from Setsuna, has returned to the garden, sitting there.
* Xanatos steps into the garden and moves over to sit down, he falls back against the grass, pulling his arms behind his head. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton sits in his cell, all relaxed.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren silently stares at Sera.
* Seraphna looks at him, her glance is oddly, curious.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick steps into the medical bay, moving over to Erevis. "I heard about your condition. I thought I'd come check on you."
* Seraphna signs, "You're the last person I'd expect here."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *visits the medbay*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. Funny. I wouldn't rank you as being in here.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks in confusion.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna meanwhile wanders off to check on the captain.
* Seraphna nods and signs, "Well, you could say I found a sister today."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Um, I will get better with rest.
* Ariel looks to Dominick.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You two are far from sisters.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Of course. 6He checks her over, as if seeing how patched up she is.
* Seraphna smiles and shakes her head, signing the word, "Blood."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Blood doesn't factor in with Cheryl. She hates her origins.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm glad to see you're recovering." *smiles, then looks over to Ariel* "And... how are you, Ariel?"
* Seraphna nods, signing, "So do I."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Funny. I took you for a daddy's girl.
* Seraphna sighs silently, signing again, "Maybe I am, I still hate my origins."
<Ariel> "Sore, shot, and recovering."
<DeathStar> <Dominick> After you've recovered, Erevis, I would like to take you out to eat so we can discuss things. Perhaps in two days? <Erevis> Um. Of course. 6She blinks. Dominick nods, adjusting his glasses with one finers. <Dominick> Well, if you'll excuse me.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick turns to leave them.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's lips just curl into a small that's not friendly.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm glad to hear the last part." *blinks at Dom*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him go.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out, wearing nothing but a towel. "There, I'm clean, whatever---" 6She spots Sera.
* Seraphna shakes her head, signing, "Whatever you're thinking, it's probably wrong."
* Seraphna looks over at her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll leave you two to it. 6He stands up and walks out.
* Ariel looks between the two
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dismisses it as a psych eval.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *smiles a little, but a little wistfully also*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there, almost self-conscious, then goes to grab clothes from the closet. "You got about ten seconds to haul you ass out of here."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Ariel..? Wait, nevermind."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Kyouki
* Xanatos closes his eyes, letting the ache in his shoulder be the only thing to keep him awake.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren plops down beside Xan.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *glances back a moment* "It's.. nothing important. Just my own personal weakness."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Weakness?
* Xanatos opens one eyes, glancing at Warren. "You get my report?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nope.
* Seraphna stands, she signs, "Please, give me one chance to talk."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the closet out of sight to switch into a t shirt and jeans, forgoing undergarments in front of Sera. She turns around. "What, you think because Phaeton pulls his mind voodoo, things are going to change between us? Forget it."
<Xanatos> Maybe Cass will. *he notes, closing the eye again*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Maybe.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I.. have always felt... lesser, I suppose."
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies her, having heard that from Kyouki before.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are not.
* Seraphna grabs her comms, "...I think they should change reguardless. I'm not my father."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pfft. Do you really want me to go and list every stupid thing you've done? Because, believe me, you don't want me to get riled up thinking about them."
* Xanatos sits up now. "Did I do somethign else to let you down?" he glances at Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't know. Did you?
<Seraphna> "...No, I don't want you to list them, I don't want to look at the past, I don't want to fight my only family and allies out here in the dark."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm neither your family, nor your ally.
<Seraphna> "...You're a shadow then?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Not only to you... but.. it sometimes seems that I lack any the strength of others."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm a killer. I'm a weapon. That's how your daddy made me.,
* Xanatos looks back down to the ground. "Two people died because of me today."
<Seraphna> "...You're whoever you chose to be."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. A lesser number than most days.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps closer, almost dangerously. "Are you going to lecture me?"
<Seraphna> "...I was created as a weapon too CHeryl, a weapon to kill Mother, I walked away from that."
* Xanatos just frowns. "That kid is right...i'm nothing but a murderer. I honestly don't know why I'm even here right now. I should be locked up somewhere."
<Seraphna> "...Admittedly, I did some very stupid things along that path, but I did fight it."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I could put you in a cell with Phaeton.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Kyouki. 6She notes firmly, an edge to her tone. "You are not lesser to anyone."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm trying to believe that."
<Xanatos> He might just turn me to his side. Then he'd have a rather talented grunt working for him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not lie. 6She notes firmly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I was hoping you'd bumble all his plans like lackeys do.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Xanatos.. kept telling me to be myself as if that was some kind of triviality."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right, you didn't kill Ariel. I guess I should just forgive you.
* Ariel is staying out of this one.
<Seraphna> "...Make me earn it, if you must. I'm not the only person in this room to make mistakes and live to regret them."
* Xanatos smirks. "Well I guess there's still time for that." He rubs the back of his neck,
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's head snaps back. "Oh. Oh."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "And... I know you don't lie... but it's not so easy to just accept something like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts a hand to her stomach. "Then there is nothing more I can do. That is something you must find in yourself. If you will not believe in yourself, how will others?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lies back down, as if tired.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *closes his eyes*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "In time.. and thankyou."
* Seraphna sighs, seeing the explosion coming, wishing someone on this damn boat could have sense for once.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just turns away from Sera.
<Xanatos> It's just going to get worse from here, isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Seraphna> "...I've lived to atone since that day, I've fucked up so much, I know I don't deserve a thing, all I cna do is ask for a real chance."
* Xanatos frowns. "Figures..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look. I don't want to be your family. I don't want to be your friend. I don'd want any of that. Guess what, Serena, I just don't want it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whirls on her. "I'm not Hotaru. I don't need you. Or want you."
* Seraphna nods, not flinching.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods.
<Seraphna> "...Alright, I tried. THank you for saving my life."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there in silence.
<Xanatos> Why haven't you took control of the ship from Cassandra yet? *he finally asks, glancing at Warren* We all know that you're running the show.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Am I?
<Xanatos> When something happens, who takes charge and issues the orders? You do.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cassandra needs the experience.
* Xanatos nods his head after a second. "You know...if I had just kept my act together, that would be me in that chair." He says, a smirk forming on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts.
<Xanatos> Wouldn't that be a sad day for humanity. *he says with a chuckle*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know what my biggest regret is, Serana? That it wasn't me who killed Cran.
<Seraphna> "...Well, something you like that I did, I guess."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's who I am, Serena.
<DeathStar> <Warren> One day, after I kill you, I might miss you.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *pauses* "Ariel... forgive me if this is a stupid question, but... have you ever felt overshadowed yourself?"
* Xanatos laughs. "Here's for hoping then."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' breathing indicates she's asleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there silently.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over to her private booze stash and grabs it.
* Xanatos also sits there silently, finally running out of things to keep the conversation going.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks from the bottle, not caring that Sera hasn't actually left.
<Ariel> "Overshadowed? How so?"
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Seraphna rubs her forehead, she sighs softly, "...You might hate me, you might despise me, but it's not mutual, it never will be, that's just who I am."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I guess you're the better person, aren't you? 6She shows her teeth
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "The feeling that, whatever you can do, there's someone else who does it better than you."
<Seraphna> "...No, just a weak, bleeding heart it seems."
<Ariel> "So?"
* Seraphna shakes her head, looking quite dissapointed, and starts to head out.
* Jackieness has left #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl swallows a quarter of the bottle, then makes a face and a sound. She watches Sera go.
* Seraphna steps out into the hall, letting the door close.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "It... doesn't bother you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl collapses into a chair.
* Xanatos glances at Warren, before looking over at a tree. "I can't take the silence." He says after a moment, "I think i've gotten used to you lecturing me everytime you came around."
<Ariel> "Why would I need to be the best?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmm.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "It.. sometimes seems that there's nothing that I can do well..."
<Ariel> "Then train yourself."
* Seraphna gets stopped halfway down the hall, a hand on her shoulder.
<Ariel> "Nothing is achieved without effort."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *nods* "I'll keep going until I feel worthy."
<Xanatos> Fine...*he frowns and pulls up a blade of grass, moving it over in his hand* I don't know what i'm doing...
<Seraphna> "...You really... just good luck with her."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "And then I guess I'll continue with it."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do you ever?
<Xanatos> At least I usually have a hint of an idea.
<DeathStar> <Warren> That's new to me.
<Xanatos> I never said they were good idea.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fine. What do you need an idea about?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I can see why Erevis suggested you."
* Xanatos just shrugs after a moment. "It's honestly nothing that I have the power to fix anymore."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Quit whining and talk.
<Seraphna> *Airier rubs the back of his head, currently in special ops gear, clothes a bit bloody.
* Xanatos frowns, "Erevis and I. We're done, she hates me. I know, hasn't she always? But well, I guess she finally just got tired of my crap."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good for her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Besides, you have Serena now.
* Xanatos nods his head. "It really is." he pauses and glances at Warren. "I guess. I told her I could never love her. I'm not sure what she expects to happen."
<DeathStar> <Warren> You know what she expects.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fact is I saw the video from the training room. Very harsh, by the way. 6He sits, opening his eyes. "You're lucky she has enough honor not to strike you for being stupid."
* Xanatos glances down, "I have no excuses."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I found your ending sentence to be a nice touch. I felt the love and affection.
* Xanatos looks off to the left, clearly ashamed. "God...don't remind me."
<DeathStar> <Warren> It wouldn't do any good anyway. You want me advice?
* Xanatos glances at Warren now. "Get over her?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Whatever. I've harped that one for years.
<Seraphna> "...You heard me, good luck."
* Xanatos tilts his head, "Then what?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Try with Serena. She's the only female willing to give your dumbass a chance.
<Seraphna> Airier> "Sera... what happened?"
<Seraphna> "...I don't know anymore..."
* Seraphna stalks off, Airier shrugs, and walks down the hall, pulling off his mask.
* Xanatos looks back at the grass. "I am...well, sorta. It's just...I still feel guilty because she used to be Kane's girl. I know he is gone, but...I just have trouble getting past that."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes, gee, the dead man is obviously going to have a need for her.
<Xanatos> It doesn't matter if he is dead. It's the principal of it all. It matters to me. *he says with a stern expression, obviously not liking the way Warren just spoke of Kane*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Xanatos, obviously not caring. "Tell me something. Who was Kane with when he died?"
* Xanatos frowns. "Ceil."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances away.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you don't want to be with Serena because she's annoying, fine, tell her so. But don't use Kane as a shield. Just be a man and admit to your own feelings.
* Xanatos sighs. "She isn't annoying...that's not it..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. Your opinion.
<Xanatos> Well yeah, but...nevermind, it's just another excuse...
<DeathStar> <Warren> So why don't you honestly say why you'd would rather be a lonely, pathetic individual than being with Serena?
<Xanatos> Because I don't want people to make fun of her for being with me. She gets enough as it is.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts and laughs.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps laughing
* Xanatos eyes Warren, then shakes his head.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Oh, lovely. 6He gets up and walks off.
* Xanatos just watches him walk off, then lays back and closes his eyes again.

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070322.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.7.7 - 2 Days Later -
<DeathStar> Location: The PAX
<DeathStar> 6* It is evening on the fair ship of PAX
* Marcus` has joined #taw
* Marcus` sits in the bar, three bottle already off to his side with one in his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lounges in the garden with a supply of rocket fuel. Apparantly she just wants to get drunk where no one will find her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does a light work out, her wound still tender.
* Xanatos is actually at the basketball court of all places, just casually shooting the ball.
<Alicia> <Terra> *likewise sits in the bar, seeming better than before* "So.. how are you feeling?"
* Marcus` glances at Terra. "Shitty."
* Seraphna is in the training room nearby, making another punching bag not like her very much.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick sits in his office, doing paperwork. Why does he wish to have dinner with Erevis? Only time can tell.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *is training, still using John's style of martial arts*
<Alicia> <Terra> *nods quietly to Marcus* "You know.. you're doing better than I did.."
<Marcus`> Oh? *he glances at her* What'd you do?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to work out, paying no mind to the others right now.
* Xanatos tosses up a shot and it bounces off of the rim, he sighs and chases after the ball.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I... was kidnapped..." *seems to be having trouble talking about it, but continues anyway*
<Marcus`> Kidnapped? By who?
<Seraphna> *The ball travels to the workout area, where Sera's hurting her hands.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... terrorists. I... guess I was lucky to escape with my life. No-one really expects the unarmed civilian to kill them.. but I still freaked out."
* Marcus` makes a face, "It...it must have been hard."
Session Close: Fri Mar 23 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Fri Mar 23 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, finished with her workout, steps out of the training room.
<Alicia> <Terra> "It was.. I mean... sure, they were monsters who I'm only too glad to see dead, but... it doesn't feel like that when you... yeah."
* Xanatos steps in to pick up his ball, he tilts his head to see Sera.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *having finished too, pauses, following* "Ahh... Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to glance at Michiru.
* Seraphna is punching, looking like she's relieving stress, the punching bag a little bloody
* Marcus` looks down, "The people you killed were criminals. THe man I killed was guilty of wanting to return home to his family."
* Xanatos steps up beside her, eyeing the bag and then her fists. "Ouch."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I..." *struggles to find the right words* "I don't want to be a burden, but I'd like... I want to get to know this time's you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
* Seraphna loks up, she blushes, hiding her hands.
* Xanatos makes a face. "Someone has some anger issues."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Because I'm lonely."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, as if unsure how to respond to that. "You..do not have..friends"
<DeathStar> (?)
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Hota and Em are nice, but... not really. Myria's usually too busy with work."
* Seraphna looks down a little.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And ... John McCormick?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... he... I think he disowned me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I am sorry.
* Xanatos motions for Sera to show him her hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her fifth full bottle, tossing it aside. Littering is the least of her crimes.
* Seraphna hodls them out, they look relatively uninjured already, but blood covered, a bit bruised.
* Xanatos frowns. "Come'on then. We can't have the head engineer screwing up her hands."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis plays with a stand of her hair unconsciously. "What would you .. like to do?"
* Seraphna looks up at him searchingly, blushing still
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I don't know. What do you usually do?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My duties.
* Xanatos tosses the ball aside and wraps his arm around he neck, pulling her head in to his chest. "And what'd I tell you about that blushing. Sheesh."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "No hobbies?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Painting.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Oh, I remember you painting. You're really good at it." *smiles*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you. Um, what do you do? 6She shifts, clearly not in her normal league here. It's almost as if Michiru makes her nervous
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I... I played basketball before.. but that was with John.."
* Seraphna hugs him softly, closing her eyes
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I am... unaware of what basketball is.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Oh, it's a game." *starts explaining*
<Marcus`> I heard about what happened. Cheryl's your real sister then? Next thing you i'm going to be related to you or something.
<Marcus`> NRP: Xan.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... you know... you're focusing on him wanting to get home, but... he was willing to kill for that."
<Marcus`> And that makes it right to kill him in return?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She tries to take it all in, since it seems to mean a lot to Michiru
<Alicia> <Terra> "I can't answer that, but... you were trying to save lives."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up as Sera and Xanatos walk by.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *actually looks a little relieved, somehow*
* Xanatos keeps his eyes on the ground as he moves by.
* Seraphna blushes, still looking down, not noticing anything.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Umm.. is something wrong?"
<Xanatos> You think there are some bandages in the medbay? *he glances at Sera as the round a corner*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Nothing that needs to be discussed. Do you .. wish to play this..basketball..?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I'd like that."
* Seraphna shrugs and sighs softly, showing how her hands are okay.
* Marcus` sighs. "I...I guess so...it's just hard to accept."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Then ... show me this basketball."
<Alicia> <Michiru> *leads Erevis to the rec room*
* Xanatos eyes her hands, "That's a neat trick..." He tilts his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the room, shifting a bit.
* Seraphna nods and smiles
<Alicia> <Michiru> *gets the ball, starting to bounce it*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies her movements.
<Xanatos> Still, you might want to get them cleaned off. *he stops outside of a women's restroom and motions for her to take her time*
<Alicia> <Michiru> *moves around Erevis, trying to get close to the basket*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches her go by
<Alicia> <Michiru> "You're not going to try to stop me?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh, yes. So I just..stop you?
* Seraphna steps in and blushes, washing off her hands, she looks up at herself, sighing softly.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I guess?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches out and telekentically freezes the ball.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "... well, that's one way..." *pauses* "I... don't even think that's against the rules, either."
<Xanatos> NRP: GOALTENDING!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She telekentically hurls it at her basket.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Ack!" *tries to telekinetically catch the ball before it goes in*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches it stop.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *glances behind Erevis, then throws it back at Erevis' basket*
* Xanatos whistles as he leans against the wall, his head raised to stare at the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops it, then hurls it back
<Alicia> <Michiru> *stops the ball again, throwing it back again*
* Seraphna steps out, having washed her face it seems, smiling to him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops it.
* Xanatos glances down and grins. "All clean and smellin good?"
* Seraphna nods and blushes again
* Xanatos just shakes his head. "Whats with all the blushin anyway?" He smirks and turns to walk down the hallway, expecting her to move along with him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly tries bouncing it off the floor.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *watches, pretty impressed*
* Seraphna moves with him, smiling as she does
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to "slam dunk" while she's distracted.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Ahh!" *tries to intercept, but too late*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did I win?
* Xanatos whistles as he moves but suddenly stops, glancing at Sera.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I guess so." *giggles a bit* "That was different from what I'm used to, but still fun."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did I play incorrectly?
* Seraphna looks back at him questioningly
<Xanatos> So what're we gonna do? And don't you dare say a movie cause you can't have three dates being exactly the same.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Well, most people don't play that way, but they can't anyway."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Is this way better?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I don't know, but it's fun anyway."
<Alicia> <Terra> "I guess it is hard to accept."
* Seraphna smiles and thinks, she signs, "You owe me dinner."
* Marcus` nods his head and takes a swig of his beer. "Well...I do appreciate this." He tells her, glancing over at her.
<Xanatos> I do? What for? *he scratches his head, thinking*
<Alicia> <Terra> *nods* "I'd feel like shit if I let you go through that without trying to help."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, as if absorbing this information
* Seraphna thinks, then signs, "Because I'm beautiful."
* Marcus` looks her over for a second. "Are you hungry?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yeah, a bit."
* Xanatos smiles. "Oh ho ho, someone is a little conceited, eh?" He extends his arm out. "Come'on then."
<Marcus`> Would you like to go get something? My treat.
* Seraphna takes his arm and smiles
* Xanatos leads Sera back towards the civillian area.
<Alicia> "Sure, I guess."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Sure, I guess."
* Marcus` smiles and stands up, "Anything you're in the mood for?"
* Seraphna lets him lead, leaning against him a little
<Alicia> <Terra> "Nothing especially. I'll go with whatever."
* Marcus` nods. "Something cheap then. I'm not made out of money." He laughs.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Did you like it?"
* Xanatos begins to whistle again, the same song that he always whistles.
* Seraphna looks up at him curiously
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was challengingly. Your skills are ... quite developed.
<Alicia> <Terra> "As long as it tastes good, cheap is fine."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Thankyou."
* Xanatos glances down at her. "Hmm?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is there...anything else you desired to do?
<Marcus`> Alright then, *he moves to step outside, looking over the establishments*
<Alicia> <Michiru> *thinks for a moment* "Unless you want to try ice-cream, I can't think of anything."
* Seraphna signs, "What's that song?"
<Xanatos> I honestly have no idea. All I remember is that my mother used to sing it to me.
* Seraphna smiles, she seems to like it.
* Marcus` looks around the buildings and finally picks the burger joint, he moves to take a seat. "I was kinda craving some chilli cheese fries." he says with a smile.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Xanatos grins and steps into the civillian area, "You wantin something fancy?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "I guess I'll try that too."
* Seraphna thinks, she shrugs.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "We could share."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yeah, I guess so>"
* Marcus` grins and places their order, getting Terra the drink of her choice and himself a soda. "So let me ask you something, how long ago was it...you know...when you first..."
<Xanatos> Oh come'on I can't make decisions.
<Alicia> <Terra> "When I first...?"
* Marcus` frowns and looks off to the left. "Killed."
<Alicia> <Terra> "... oh... years ago... I... could barely stand myself."
* Seraphna smiles and picks out a burger joint
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts. "I do not think I desire ice cream. Um...'
<Marcus`> How long did it take before you were over it?
* Xanatos nods and steps into the burger place, he spots Marcus and Terra but says nothing to them, taking a seat.
* Seraphna takes a seat too
* Xanatos looks over the menu. "Hmmm. Oh wow this looks good." He points to the fattiest looking thing on the menu.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eats a burger, staring at them.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I... never totally got over it, but... it got a lot easier to deal with."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She obviously tries to think of something to do with the teenager, but doesn't do much activities herself.
* Marcus` nods his head slowly, glancing up to see their fries. He takes one of them and takes a bite.
* Seraphna grins and orders a normal burger for herself.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *giggles* "I.. kind of know what that's like, too."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I wasn't sure what to do when I first came here either.. and I'm still not so sure sometimes."
* Xanatos decides to go for a chicken sandwich. "Gotta watch my figure." he says with a wink.
<Marcus`> So do you like them? *he tilts his head*
<Alicia> <Terra> *takes a bite* "They're pretty good."
* Seraphna smiles and sits back, looking at him
* Marcus` smiles. "I used to eat this all the time back on earth...man I sure miss that place."
* Xanatos looks down at himself then back up. "What?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "... I spent so long looking over my shoulder..."
<Marcus`> Huh? Why?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Adjusting can be difficult to manage.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you...sing?
* Seraphna looks innocent as she signs, "Just enjoying myself."
<Xanatos> Already? I didn't know I was that good. *he smirks*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Well, I haven't really sung much.. I could try it?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Follow me. 6She pauses, glancing at her sweaty training outfit
* Seraphna takes a bite of her burger and grins at him
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slides his chair closer to the table and stares more as he chews.
* Xanatos smiles and then suddenly glances at Warren. "...that good?" He looks to his burger.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *follows Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hestiates, as if debating changing.
* Seraphna bites from her burger, looking up at Warren, the picture of innocence.
<Xanatos> Like you would admit it, if it were. *he shakes his head and glances at Sera, bringing his sandwich up to eat.*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren thinks they got the wrong picture down, then
* Seraphna eyes Warren.
* Xanatos shrugs to Sera. "I think we're supposed to act like he isn't...*he looks at warren* Staring right at us."
<Alicia> <Michiru> *looks to Erevis* "Is this something you want a change of clothes for?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren chews.
<Marcus`> Because of those kidnapping people? *he speaks up, incase she doesn't want to talk about it*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> These clothes are usually meant for training in. The establishment might not appricate them.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... yeah. They were still around for a while."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Then maybe you should change."
* Marcus` frowns. "That would be horrible. No wonder you jumped on this boat."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. Come with me to my room. 6She walks along.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Okay." *follows then*
* Seraphna smiles and finishes her burger, signing to Xan, "What now?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "Even now they're gone... I'm not exactly looking forward to going back."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is now at Sera and Xan's table, chewing.
<Xanatos> Well obviously we wont get any privacy here. *He glances at Warren* Or anywhere else for that matter.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren actually looks right past them. As if he were sitting at their table to spy on someone else.
* Xanatos arches his brow and glances around the establishment.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into her room, pulling off her clothes without much thought and moving to the closet.
<DeathStar> 6* He appears to be watching someone reading a newspaper.
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
* Marcus` looks back to Sera, shrugging.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Ahh.. I don't have to change clothes too, do I?"
<Marcus`> NRP: JEEESUS. THat was Xan. :D
* Seraphna smiles more and thinks, signing, "Take a walk?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. 6She grabs a green shirt and jeans.
<Alicia> <Terra> *quietly eyes the newspaper man for a moment*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren chews.
* Marcus` tilts his head to look at the newspaper guy. "It so bad to want to read the paper?"
* Xanatos nods his head after he takes the last bite of his sandwich and drinks the last bit of his soda.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Well, maybe not."
* Marcus` shakes his head. "I'm glad i'm not in the military...it makes you so...untrusting."
<Alicia> <Terra> "I just wonder why Warren's interested in him."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh, I was like this before I joined."
<Marcus`> Who? *he looks around*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores in the garden, passed out. Some kids poke her with a stick.
<Alicia> <Terra> "That's Warren, right there."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, finished dressing, steps back out and heads for the Civilian Quarter.
* Marcus` glances at him. "Oh...OH. He's the captain of this ship."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *is taking a shower, completely naked*
* Seraphna gets up, fixing her jacket a little.
* Xanatos tilts his head, looking up at the ceiling. He smiles.
<Alicia> NRP: There is also fanservice!
* Xanatos pays and then moves over to wait for Sera by the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along beside Michiru, about three feet of space between them
* Seraphna moves over to him and walks out with him.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *follows*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Michiru pass Xanatos and Seraphna
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yeah, that's him." *watches to see if Warren leaves*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just watches his enemy.
<Alicia> <Terra> *nods, her suspicions confirmed. The newspaper man IS Warren's enemy!*
<Marcus`> But see what your mistrust caused? You are techinically on a date with me and i'm being a perfect gentleman. When before you were very mistrusting of me.
* Xanatos glances at Erevis and Michiru again, noting their attire. He smiles to himself though, glad the two are on speaking terms.
<Alicia> <Terra> "I'm not used to people being nice to me for the sake of being nice to me."
<Marcus`> Well that's pretty sad. *he notes*
<Alicia> <Terra> "I guess it is."
* Marcus` smiles, "Ah I guess I can understand it. What with being kidnapped and stalked. I wouldn't trust many people either."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into a little place that has a karaoke bar. A couple is singing, badly, at it.
* Xanatos wraps his arm around Sera as he walks.
* Seraphna blushes and lets him, walking along silently
* Xanatos just shakes his head. "You'd think you'd have gotten over the embarassment of being seen around me."
<DeathStar> 6* They finish after brutalizing a song. Erevis glances at Michiru to see if she wants to try it
* Seraphna blushes more, signing, "THat's not it."
<Alicia> <Michiru> *steps up to try*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down, waiting to see what she selects.
<Xanatos> Ohhh? Then what is it?
<DeathStar> 6* Pope works on his ship, muttering about terrorists.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *selects a song almost at random. Falling Back? Sounds good*
<DeathStar> 6* The audience waits
* Seraphna signs, "I'm just not used to such affection..." *she gives a lonely smile*
<Alicia> <Michiru> *sings along, doing well for a song picked at random*
<DeathStar> 6* The audience seems to enjoy it, after being brutalized moments ago
<Xanatos> Oh lord. If you think this is affection. *he messes with her hair* Then you really have been lonely for a while.
* Seraphna blushes harder and stops, hugging him tight
* Xanatos blinks, returning the hug. "What?"
* Seraphna just hugs him, smiling happily
<DeathStar> 6* When Michiru finishes, the small audience claps for her
<Alicia> <Michiru> *looks a little embarrassed, but happy*
* Marcus` tilts his head, he smiles. "You've got a little cheese on your face."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You did good.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. Like Boba Fett.
* Xanatos just continues the hug until she feels the need to let go.
<DeathStar> 6* 5 hours later...
<Xanatos> NRP: LOL
<Alicia> <Terra> *has wiped off the cheese by then*
* Seraphna elts him go shortly after, walking with him back to the residential areas.
<Xanatos> Did I do something? *he glances at her*
* Marcus` glances outside. "Would you like to go for a walk?"
<Alicia> <Terra> "Sure?"
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Are you sure? You didn't really sound it." He smiles.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Just.. still not used to this."
* Seraphna smiles to him and nods
* Marcus` nods his head once. "Well, if you feel like i'm being too nice, we can part ways a day or so and then we can try again? Evenutally you'll get used to it."
<Xanatos> Oh? What was that?
<Alicia> <Terra> *laughs*
* Seraphna signs to him, "THree dates... and you haven
* Seraphna signs to him, "THree dates... and you haven't left. You really are giving me a chance."
<Xanatos> Or I could just be holding out for the sex. *he notes, tilting his head to eyes her*
* Seraphna hmms mutely and crosses her arms under her breasts, tapping a finger on her chin, as if to question if he is.
* Marcus` stands, "Well." He waits for Terra befroe he would step outside.
* Xanatos grins at her, his eyes moving from her breasts up to her face. "Very sneaky, I am."
<Alicia> <Terra> *heads out with Marcus*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches the newspaper man.
* Marcus` walks along, being as peaceful as he seems, as he moves along he gradually slides his hand out to hold Terra's to see if she'll hold it.
<Alicia> <Terra> *doesn't seem sure whether to take the hand or not*
* Marcus` glances at her. "Too soon? Sorry I couldn't help but try."
<DeathStar> 6* People pass the sneaky Xan
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Seraphna wraps her arms around his neck, leans up, and kisses him.
* Xanatos accepts the kiss and warmly returns his own.
* Seraphna nuzzles him softly and smiles, looking into his eyes.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Yeah, too soon, and no problem.."
* Marcus` shrugs. "Oh well. At least you're not giving me the death eye." He smiles, making his way towards the Garden.
* X1 has joined #taw
* Xanatos just stares back, she might notice that one of his eyes is a slightly different color than the other, but it isn't noticable unless you look.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus and Terra reach the lushious gardens
<Alicia> <Terra> "You get that a lot?"
* Marcus` shakes his head, "Nope, just from you that one time." He chuckles and then comes to a stop, his expression going grim.
* Seraphna smiles and takes him home for the night, for some ratehr hot snuggling. (He doesn't get lucky, just yet.)
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays on the grass, surrounded by empty bottles, apparantly very asleep
* Marcus` looks away. "Sorry Terra, but I need to go...I...I can't even look at her."
<Alicia> <Terra> "... something wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts on the grass as they talk
<Seraphna> NRP: <Marcus> Sh-She... was the MAN.
* Marcus` sighs. "She...was covered in blood, and it wasn't even her own blood..." He turns, "I never knew she was such a monster."
<Seraphna> NRP: passing out, working in like, 5 hours
<Alicia> <Terra> "... what? Being covered in blood is wrong now?"
<Marcus`> Its one thing to kill when you are pressed and you have too. But to kill, and with her bare hands even...*he just shakes his head* I can't handle it...I know she's your friend, i'm sorry. *he turns to leave her in the garden*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up as he walks off.
<Alicia> <Terra> "... great... I wonder if he'd have done that if I'd ever gotten bloody."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Alicia> <Terra> "Don't worry, he's just... weak-stomached, I guess..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just stands up and shoves her hands into her coat, moving to walk off, albeit unsteadily
<Alicia> <Terra> "You okay?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm fine.
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Alicia> <Terra> "Did he actually see you fight or something?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just shrugs, apparantly not caring about it, Marcus, or anything he just said.
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping back out into the hallway, Cheryl turns for her room, where she's stashed away more things.
<Alicia> <Terra> *heads home herself, then*

Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070323.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.7.7
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* The scene opens up to Seraphna.
<Seraphna> NRP: Where are we timeframe wise now...?
* Seraphna sits in her room, door locked, refusing to come out, staring at a wall.
<DeathStar> <John> Come on, Sera, when I said the dress made you look big, I didn't mean fat. 6He says into the door comm.
* Xanatos comes walking up to John. "What's going on?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits down in the bar, drinking a beer as he tries to forget what happened.
* Seraphna just stares in silence, her comms on the floor, in pieces.
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know. I think it's a girl thing.
* Chad`Winters eyes the two standing outside Serena's door. 1"Train?"
* Xanatos tilts his head, rubbing the back of his neck. "Maybe we should just let her sit this out?" he glances at Chad now. "You wish."
<DeathStar> 6* John knocks. "You are a lovely, thin girl, Sera. Please come out."
* Chad`Winters just shudders and turns around quickly, moving the opposite way post haste.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there. "Why was I called down here for a consult?"
* Seraphna puts her hand to her forehead, then they hear a very, very loud bang, not a gunshot though.
<DeathStar> <John> Jesus Christ, did she kill herself?
* Xanatos glances at Warren then John. "Yeah I...think so..." he frowns. "Damnit she was about to have sex with me!"
* Seraphna opens the door, staring at them a little dimly, her hand looks damaged again.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren raises a brow
* Seraphna signs, "Bad dream."
<DeathStar> 6* John punches Xan in the face.
* Seraphna blinks
* Xanatos archs a brow at John. "What was that for?"
<DeathStar> <John> She's not just a piece of meat for you to fuck, Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tilts his head. Now THIS is interesting.
* Seraphna stares at Xan, then John.
* Seraphna closes her door again.
<Xanatos> It was a joke man. God. *he shakes his head*
<DeathStar> <John> Don't joke.
<DeathStar> 6* John knocks. "Sera? Sera, open the door."
* Seraphna opens it again, sighing silently.
* Xanatos frowns. "I was joking. I promise."
<DeathStar> <John> Hi.
<DeathStar> <Warren> He sounded serious to me.
* Seraphna waves gently with her good hand.
<Xanatos> Shut up you. *he glares at Warren*
<DeathStar> <John> Why'd you hurt your hand?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sets a beer bottle ontop of a small tower he started.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm consulting.
* Seraphna signs, "Very bad dream... just released some stress."
<DeathStar> <John> What's that mean? 6He asks to the other two
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hit him again
<DeathStar> 6* John nods, then punches Xan again
<DeathStar> <John> There. All better?
<Xanatos> OW! What the fuck!?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Oh, wait, I read the gesture wrong.
* Xanatos hangs his head.
* Seraphna grabs John's comms.
* Seraphna turns them on. "...I said I had a bad dream, please stop hitting Xan."
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh. Okay. But if you change your mind, let me know.
* Chad`Winters moves down into the garden and sits on a bench, leaning back in it and staring up at the cieling
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, deciding there's nothing left to consult on, moves off.
* Xanatos eyes John, then shakes his head. "You really alright Sera?"
* Seraphna nods quietly, before asking, "...What was that about my dress?"
<DeathStar> <John> Time to go. 6Walks off.
* Seraphna grabs his shoulder gently, but firmly, dragoon firmly.
<Seraphna> "...Answer me."
<DeathStar> 6* John, daftly, ducks away and runs
* Xanatos just stands there now, rubbing the back of his neck.
* Seraphna sighs and looks at Xan, and hugs him.
* Xanatos hugs her back. "So you had a bad dream, eh? What happened?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans back in his stool, eyeing the tower of beer bottles.
* Seraphna blushes, "...You died."
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Really?" He frowns, "Well that's no good."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *Glances over at Dias* Somethign botherin yah?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at Marcus, eyeing him for a second. 1"Yeah, nosey people."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fair enough. Just tryin to be nice.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> There's a fine line between being nice and budding into a strangers business. 6He frowns and adjust one of the bottles.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Whatever you say, mate. You don't want to talk about it, then I don't want to hear about it.
* Seraphna leans up and kisses him softly, smiling, "...GLad you're alive."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the bar, hands shoved into her coat.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You assume that because someone drinks a lot they have must have a problem. Crappy logic.
Session Close: Sat Mar 24 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Sat Mar 24 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's generally right though. Never said it was good logic.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick sits across from Erevis, during their "date". He picked out a fancy resturant, but despite that, or lacking the concept of fancy, Erevis wears normal clothes, a deep contrast to his suit.
* Xanatos smiles at her. "So what're we going to do today?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps up to the bar, holding up five fingers for five drinks right away.
<Xanatos> *Marcus keeps his eyes away from Cheryl, suddenly finding his beer bottle to be interesting.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's also generally right for me to punch you in the face for making have cocked assumptions.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Half
* Seraphna thinks, "...Well, first I need to get up still... come on in."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps back, eyeing his creation, than he holds his thumb out at it, eyeing it again.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Right because punching people in their faces for attempting to be nice is what we all do. Why I just slugged a guy the other day.
<Chad`Winters> 1.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her drinks, ignoring Marcus' reaction.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> 1?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at Marcus, a mischevious smile on his face than he motions for another beer, grabbing it and taking a deep drink.
* Xanatos nods and steps inside, glancing around.
<Xanatos> * Marcus watches Dias with an interested look, glancing to the tower of bottle and then back to Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias finishes the beer and belches, eyeing his tower as he flips the empty bottle around in his hand.
<Xanatos> *Marcus takes a step off of his stool and then takes a few steps back, eyeing the tower, wondering where Dias is going to put the last bottle.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stands there, tossing the bottle in his hand as he stares.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws back the five drinks, drumming her fingers.
* Seraphna walks into her room, her comms are in pieces on the floor near the dresser, there's a slight dent in her wall, she walks to the shower, closing the cover to the bathing area, undressing, her outline visible.
* Xanatos stesp around, letting out a low whistle. "Talk about getting pissed." He tilts his head when he sees her outline.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just motions for another beer then grabs it with his open hand and takes a drink, his left hand still tossing the bottle about.
<Xanatos> *Marcus frowns when he glances at Cheryl, but returns to keep his gaze on Dias. "What're you doing?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Drinking my problems away, obviously.
* Seraphna slaps X1 around a bit with a large trout
<Seraphna> NRP: wow
<Chad`Winters> NRP: ...That was rude
<Seraphna> NRP: wierdest typo... ever
<DeathStar> 6* The trout flops on the bathroom floor now
<Seraphna> NRP: I typed /me and it did that without me pushing enter
<Chad`Winters> NRP: shh, you have a trout in your bathroom.
* Seraphna lets her hair down, tossing it back a little before turning on the shower, eyeing the trout.
* Xanatos just keeps staring, he scratches his chin.
* Seraphna steps in and smiles to herself, getting soaked.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Marcus. 1"So why'd you just frown?"
<Xanatos> *Marcus tilts his head at Dias. "Oh you know, just thinking."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You were looking at Cheryl tho. 6He takes another swig, his left hand still tossing the bottle around in his hands
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down at the bar, hunkering. She gets more drinks.
* Seraphna enjoys her shower, giving Xan a very tempting show, if only from the shadow on the cover.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *Xan just yawns, knowing he can get a better show at the strip club*
<Xanatos> *Marcus eyes Dias. "Maybe i'm just frowning because I don't have a chance?"
* Xanatos just shakes his head and smiles.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Better hope that's the only reason why you're frowning. 6His tone is far from friendly.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah yeah, threat threat. *he waves his hand, a bored look growing on his face*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just glances Marcus up and down laughs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns than whistles at Cheryl.
<Xanatos> *Marcus tilts his head. "Well you're loads of fun. Good luck." He turns and moves to leave them alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's head turns slowly, as if wondering who has the balls to whistle at her. And, seeing it's Dias, rolls her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions Cheryl over. 1"Where ya going Marcus?"
<Xanatos> *Marcus slides to a stop, glancing back. "Things to do. People to see."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sips her drink. "I don't think you want to drink in the company of monsters. Isn't that right, Marcus?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Now now, you could atleast join us for a beer."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses down her money.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks, eyeing Cheryl.
<Xanatos> *Marcus frowns, looking away from them both.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to go, shoving her hands in her pockets.
* Xanatos glances down at the time. "Must be one helluva shower." He says to Sera.
<Chad`Winters> 6He then turns, eyeing Marcus, an angry look on his face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 2.
* Seraphna giggles, turning off the shower, in an almost pouting voice, "You resist temptation too well!"
<Xanatos> *Marcus steps out of the way, acting as if he doesn't even want to touch her.
* Seraphna grabs a towel, starting to dry herself off
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl passes Marcus and exits.
* Xanatos smiles, holding her towell. "I sure do."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses the bottle up and catches it, snapping his hand out and tossing it by Marcus head, letting it smash into the wall behind him.
<Xanatos> *Marcus moves his eyes to look at Dias. "Yeah, i'm scared." He shakes his head and steps out to leave Dias alone now.
* Seraphna blushes, seeing he's got her towel.
<Xanatos> Sneaky. Remember? *he grins*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hurls the other empty, this time aiming for Macrus head as he turns and steps out
<Xanatos> *Marcus gets hit, the bottle shattering and sending glass everywhere, he falls forward, laying there, his head bleeding.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns, sitting down in his stool, he motions for another beer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns at the sound of the thump, her eyes widening as Marcus lays there in his own blood. "Christ Jesus." 6She moves over, checking for a pulse.
<Xanatos> *He's alive.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get a medical team down here. 6She snaps at the bartender, who complies. People in the bar look at Dias, judging him.
* Xanatos just stands there, showing that he isn't about to let Sera have her towel unless she comes to get it.
* Seraphna blushes and walks out, wet and naked, over to him
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grumbles and he begins taking his tower down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up at Dias, her expression on his actions unreadble. One might think she plain doesn't care anymore.
* Xanatos widens his smile. "You know. I woulda brought it to you if you woulda asked."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grunts and stands up, turning. He glances at Cheryl and places his hands in his pockets, walking out.
* Seraphna blushes fiercely, eyeing it in his hands, her arms over her breasts.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waits until he's gone, then speaks up clearly so everyone can hear her. "Anyone asks, I did this. Anyone who says differently joins this cocksucker in the medical bay? Got it?"
* Xanatos drapes it around her, his eyes sliding down to her ass as he does so. "Here you go, i'll not look anymore." He promises, turning his back towards her now."
<DeathStar> 6* Cherly slaps a napkin to the back of Marcus' head in the meantime.
<Xanatos> *Marcus groans a little, it's clear he'll probably have a concusion.
<Xanatos> NRP: Concussion
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves down the streets, heading towards the sauna/hot tub place.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6Just keeps applying pressure, scowling.,
* Seraphna giggles softly and starts to dry off, eventually putting on a robe, wrappoing her long hair in the towel.
* Xanatos glances back around at her now. "You sure seem to be enjoying yourself." He notes, referring to he shower antics.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: <Xanatos> ...I've got terminal cancer. <Sera> *runs to try and screw Marcus*
* Seraphna nods and smiles, walking over to him, she stands up close to him, looking into his eyes.
* Xanatos looks back. "What?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the hot tub/sauna buisiness and waves at the attendent, moving right to the back and into a room, quickly undressing and pulling himself into a barrel
* Seraphna kisses him softly and walks over to her closet, looking for something to wear.
* Xanatos smiles at her, not saying much as she moves over to the closet.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back after the medical teams arrive, and walks off without a second thought
* Seraphna grabs some clothes, she hmms mutely and turns to look at him, waving him to turn around.
* Xanatos is already turning as she waves, he pulls his arms behind his head. "So I was trying to come up with an idea of what to do today." He begins.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Hahah, wave to someone who's not looking...I like that
* Seraphna starts to get dressed, discarding her robe, pulling on undergarments, her comms still in the bathing area.
<Xanatos> Couldn't really come up with anything...seeing as there is only so much you can do on a ship...but I guess we'll manage.
* Seraphna walks up behind him, hugging tight, dressed now by the feel of it.
* Xanatos twists to face her. "Well I can't say that I like you better this way." He smiles.
* Seraphna blushes, she's selected a white silk blouse, a short pleasted skirt, and tied her hair back in a bow.
<Xanatos> So what're we gonna do? *he asks now that he can see her sign*
* Seraphna presses up against him, she looks up at the cieling as if to think and then pouts her hands up between them, signing, "Dinner and a movie or a club."
<Xanatos> Hmmm. Well we I guess we could go with that. *he grins*
* Seraphna smiles and nuzzles his chin a little.
* Xanatos kisses her one more time. "Well come'on then. I'm cookin." He says with a smile, stepping towards the door.
* Seraphna lets him lead
<Xanatos> Now my room isn't like yours, so don't be too dissapointed. *he says as he turns to makes his way for his own room*
* Seraphna smiles and leans against him
* Xanatos wraps his arm around her, "Anything in particular that you're wanting me to fix?"
* Seraphna signs, "Something tastey."
* Xanatos frowns. "Oh well that is really helpful."
* Seraphna kisses his lips softly
<Xanatos> Whoa careful I can't walk and do that! *he says as he stumbles*
* Xanatos straitens up and comes to his door, opening it and stepping on inside, he moves over towards the kitches aspect, giving Sera time to walk in and soak it all up.
<Xanatos> *As she walks in, she will notice that there are painting supplies over in the corner, and a canvas on the stand showing a half finished portrait. Other than that, it is your typical room. Not too neat, not really dirty.
* Seraphna smiles, reminded of someone, she looks around the room.
* Xanatos glances over at her from looking around. "Sorry it's not that neat." She would notice that a rather large book is poking out from under his bed.
* Seraphna plays with a strand of her hair, the blue lock, as she covertly peeks at it.
<Xanatos> *It appears to be a book about PAX, though halfway through she'll notice that it isn't finished.
* Xanatos whistles as he moves about, cooking.
* Seraphna blinks, going back over it, looking through it.
<Xanatos> *It would appear that the book covers all of PAX and the group going their seperate ways, in follows into working for Darien. But it stops suddenly, if she had heard from Kane it would probably be about the time he let John take Erevis and try to pull her out of the body so he could have Katrina back.
* Seraphna traces words with interest, reading.
<Xanatos> * It isn't exactly the most astounding read ever, but it is pretty good overall, though she would note some inconsistencies with the style, going from a third person persective to a diary type third person perspective. Seems he was playing around with Point of View.
* Xanatos just whistles, his mind on the food, wanting to make sure it is perfect.
* Seraphna lays on his bed reading still.
<Xanatos> Find anything interesting? *He stands there with his arms crossed.*
* Seraphna looks up and nods, smiling.
* Xanatos justs rubs his face with his hand. "I'd rather you not look at it..."
* Seraphna puts it away then, sitting up on his bed, she signs, "I think you should finish it."
<Xanatos> I can't, it isn't like I would be allowed to release a book with so much information on the military anyway. *he turns back to check his food, it is almost done*
* Seraphna smiles softly and sighs, thinking someone should read it someday
* Xanatos finally finishes plating the dinner and moves over to place the two plates on the table. "Dinner's ready." He says, glancing down with a little bit of pride as his lemon pepper chicken, steamed veggies, and rice.
* Seraphna moves over to the table and smiles at the smell
<Xanatos> I may be mediocre at most things, but I take pride in being able to cook well. *he says with a grin, moving over to grab them two glasses and a bottle of wine.*
* Seraphna takes a seat, smiling, signing, "Another reason to keep you."
<Xanatos> Oh hell if I need to start listing reasons...*he grins and pours the wine, finally setting down across from her*
<Xanatos> NRP: sitting?
* Seraphna smiles and looks him over
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Am I interesting or something?"
* Seraphna nods
* Xanatos grins and glances down at her plate. "Come'on now. Try it and tell me what you think."
* Seraphna starts to eat, savoring the food.
<Xanatos> Sooooo? *he tilts his head, waiting for her reaction*
* Seraphna smiles and keeps eating, grinning her approval.
<Xanatos> Good. *he says with a nods, beginning to eat his own*
<DeathStar> -END-
