<DeathStar> Stardate: Later the same day
<DeathStar> Location: Toyko, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* With the old capital destroyed, everyone has turned JAPANESE!
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is hooked up to a machine so that he might live again.
<Xanatos> *Marcus sits in his hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands around the capital. The news of freedom is still slowly spreading. He stands on a roof, overlooking things.
<DeathStar> *The Japanese cpaital.
<DeathStar> 6* All Angel like
* Chad`Winters steps back into Zephyr's room.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scowls at the IV in her
* Xanatos has his hands propped behind his head as he moves down the sidewalk, he is whistling a light tune, exploring the city it seems.
* Seraphna sits on something, nearby Darien, once again his little shadow.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, you defeated Spade.
<Seraphna> <Yes... and oddly enough... thanks to him...>
<Chad`Winters> I brought you something. 6He holds his hand out, a stuffed animal in it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squeals. "It's kawaii! See? I used a Japanese word."
* Chad`Winters cracks a slight smile. 1
* Chad`Winters moves over to it, holding it out towards her.
<Xanatos> *Marcus closes his eyes, humming an odd little tune.
* Seraphna ruins her fingers through her hair, the blue has already started to get a bit more prominent, her eyes still one omega mode, the other normal.
<Chad`Winters> 6As Xanatos moves by, he can hear a loud uproar from a local Sumo Wrestling Ring.
* Xanatos tilts his head, rubbing his chin. He moves closer towards it.
* Alicia is now known as Red_Fox
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, he did love you. I'm not surprised he'd kill himself to help you
<Chad`Winters> 6A Sumo wrestler can be seen struggling to push his opponent out of the ring, oddly enough who appears to be smaller from Xan's point of view.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes it, acting like a child again. Probably a defense mechanism
<Seraphna> <It's odd, knowing all that he did, yet still... feeling guilty at that.>
* Xanatos tilts his head in the opposite direction and taps his chin. He begins to step around to get a better view of both fighters.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No one's perfect. Evil people are never always evil. Everyone has good in them.
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<Chad`Winters> 6As Xanatos comes around and makes his way through the crowd, he can see a silver haired teenager holding his own against a full-sized sumo wrestler
<DeathStar> <Darien> So often conflicts occur because we don't know why the person is fighting.
* Xanatos shakes his head, smirking. "Dias." He says simply.
<Seraphna> <Yeah...>
<Chad`Winters> You wouldn't believe what they charge for those things here...6He plops down, sitting in a chair off to the side.
<Seraphna> <What... are you going to do now? Wind's gone... Ariel's safe... we've won the battle...>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly perks his head up and looks over at Xanatos causing him to lose his ground and get thrown out. He rolls along the ground.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How much? 6She holds it with her good arm.
* Xanatos winces and steps over to Dias, kneeling beside him. "You just got owned my friend."
<Chad`Winters> I had to put a second mortgage on him house.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... I don't believe Wind's really gone. Merely --- waiting.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Awww. I'll call him House, then.
<Seraphna> <He'll come to us though... he wants Mom... or Erevis... and they're both in one basket now.>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks up at Xan. 1"Hey jackass, this is holy ground. Get off it.
<Red_Fox> "Then we'll just be ready for him."
* Seraphna looks down as she mentions Erevis
<Chad`Winters> Cute. You should see the cardboard box I picked out to live in now.
<DeathStar> 6* DArien is shocked by Fox appearing on the roof and falls to his death
* Red_Fox smiles to Darien and Sera... how long has she been there?
* Xanatos arches a brow. "Oh?" He straitens up and steps back.
* Red_Fox grabs Darien's hand
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Fox oddly ,then their surroundings. "You have nothing better to do?"
* Seraphna looks up at Red, then away.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then ninja sneak.
<Red_Fox> * Or not. :P
<Chad`Winters> Dias slowly stands up, dusting himself off. He turns to the sumo wrestle and bows to him. He then moves off to the side, placing his hands on his hips. 1"Thanks for distracting me dick."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sure you'll be fine.
<Xanatos> Oh yeah blame me. You woulda lost anyway.
<Red_Fox> "I'm not sure."
<Chad`Winters> Until first rain. 6He leans back in his chair. 1"How you feeling?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs a bit, then gives Sera a mental nudge.
<Chad`Winters> Dias looks up at Xan then laughs. 1"I had the win in the bag my slightly retarded simian buddy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns a bit. "Tired. But they gave me morphine!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr beams again
* Red_Fox looks to Sera "Are you feeling okay?"
<Chad`Winters> Only the best, right?
* Xanatos crosses his arms. "Lies."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess. *giggles*
* Seraphna sighs a bit mutely.
<Seraphna> "...A lot on my mind..."
<Red_Fox> "I guess we all have."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses his arm over Xan's neck, pulling him down slightly so he's within ear shot. 1"Look kid, it's not every day any joe schmo off the street can compete in a sumo wreslting match. So that alone means I'm good enough. I would've won.
<Chad`Winters> Don't like hospital food? 6He eyes the jello off to her side.
<Seraphna> "...Some things you just can't take back..."
<Red_Fox> "... yeah."
<Xanatos> ...Kid? Alright...you enjoy yourself. I'm going to go back to exploring the town.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're going to explore town, eh? 6His eyes beam brightly.
<Red_Fox> "... are you trying to atone too?"
<Xanatos> Yeah...alone.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> My stomach was shot up. I don't think I Can eat.
<Seraphna> "...And there's something else... I know... how to find out the truth..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien listens to them both.
<Red_Fox> "About?"
<Seraphna> "...Myself."
* Red_Fox nods
<Seraphna> "...Only thing is I need Cheryl or Chad to come with me."
<Seraphna> "...Not cutting off my hand again."
<Red_Fox> "You think it's still there?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Man, there's ninja's out there...
<Seraphna> "...It's the only route I have left."
<Xanatos> I'll risk it.
<Seraphna> "...Would you come with me Darien?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I can do that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ninja's Xanatos...NINJA'S!
<Xanatos> ...whatever. Come on.
* Seraphna smiles softly. "...Thanks... now if I could just figure out where my sister is..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's what I thought. 6He pats her on the back.
<Seraphna> "...I still haven't had the chance to tell her the news."
<Red_Fox> "Zephyr? I think she's in the hospital still."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Pregnant. Hmp. 6He shakes his head. "Poor Cheryl. I can only imagine what her kid will be like."
<Seraphna> "...No, Cheryl."
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl or Ariel stop by yet?
* Xanatos just eyes him and moves to step back to the street.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think Cheryl was around earlier, but Ariel was pretty hurt, too, so she's resting.
<Red_Fox> "She's probably either resting, or checking up on family."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks with Xanatos, looking around eagerly. 1"Did you know you have to take your shoes off to go into buildings? 6He wiggles his toes
* Xanatos eyes Dias and then glances down at his feet. "Man that's nasty. Where'd your shoes go!?"
<Seraphna> "...Well... it can't hurt to check..." *she closes her eyes and gently does her Dragoon hunting thing, pinging gently out around the city*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's out there - somewhere. Probably surveying the area for anything that might hurt them later.
* Seraphna blinks in confusion.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snuggles against the animal like a kid. "So, what did you want to tell me?"
<Seraphna> "...What the hell!?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> What?
* Seraphna stands.
<Seraphna> "...Cheryl... I actually... picked up... Cheryl."
* Xanatos pulls his hands behind his head as he walks along. "So you and Xevil fought eh?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I'll be.,'
* Seraphna looks lost in disbelief.
<Chad`Winters> That's good. 6He tosses two pills back, swallowing them. 1"From what the doctor told me you'll be out sometime tomorrow if all goes well.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives a lopsided grin.
* Seraphna blushes a little.
<Red_Fox> "Congratulations."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I meant back on the shuttle. You seemed like you had something you wanted to say.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah...I kicked his ass.
<Xanatos> Oh really? The way I heard it, it was Em that did most of the work.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You've been back for like a few hours...How the hell do you know this already?
<Xanatos> Oh...a little mouse told me.
* Chad`Winters leans forward. 1"I've got two things to talk to you about...
<Seraphna> "...Well... at least she's around."
* Seraphna sits back down.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh?
<Seraphna> "...Doubt Zephyr wants to see me though."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Mice don't talk.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Probably shouldn't try. She had some incidents.
<Chad`Winters> If you had a choice to grow up...would you take it?
<Xanatos> Terra mentioned it on the way back, your were too busy bragging to notice.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes silent, holding her toy. "I don't know. Life is so hard sometimes." 6She sighs.
<Seraphna> "...I won't... I shouldn't get involved at any rate... I don't belong."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... I think Hotaru's death affected her more than she's let on.
<Red_Fox> "... I think so too."
<Chad`Winters> It's not an easy decision that is true...You've obviously thought about it.
<DeathStar> 6* A red haired woman in a komono is window shopping near Xan and Dias.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sniffs the air then turns to look at the red-haired woman
* Seraphna suddenly stares blankly at the ground, Darien even feels the sudden sinkhole.
* Xanatos tilts his head, looking the woman up and down. He smirks.
* Seraphna closes her eyes, tears forming.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Sera. "Death in a family is never easy."
* Red_Fox looks pained herself for a moment. "... no, it's not..."
<Seraphna> "...She was... my sister..."
<Chad`Winters> I had the opportunity to talk to you in the future Zephyr.
<Seraphna> "...I was there... damnit I was right there..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> O-Oh?! 6She looks up, clearlyedworried.
* Seraphna shakes a little, she's been holding this back for a while now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits by Sera, and puts an arm around Sera. "You did everything you could."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You could not have stopped Xevil.
* Xanatos stops by the red-haired woman. "See anything interesting?"
<Chad`Winters> You turned out good, you should've seen Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman glances up, her green eyes peering at Xanatos. "I was curious about these items. They are suppose to get rid of spirits."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? So...uh..what happened...? 6She squirms in the bed
* Seraphna shivers a little more, "...I-If I'd tried harder... if I was better..."
<Xanatos> Oh? *he tilts his head to observe the items* Do you have some spirit problems?
<Red_Fox> "You shouldn't beat yourself up over that..."
<DeathStar> <Woman> I do not believe I do. I was merely curious on how wood with paper on it achieved such a method.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides upto the lady. 1"It's because of magic."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ifs are nothing but flights of fancy. Hindsight is 20/20
* Xanatos just laughs.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman blinks. "Magic?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, magic.
<DeathStar> <Woman> ... 6She eyes the items with more revered silence.
<Xanatos> There is no such thing, Dias.
<Chad`Winters> We talked...Apparently Aya never forgave me for dieing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. ... I'm sorry, Chad.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Is too. 6He turns to look at Xanatos now.
* Seraphna sniffles a bit. "...She was... she always understood and cared... she didn't force me to do anything... she believed in me..."
* Red_Fox hugs Sera comfortingly
* Chad`Winters shifts his head slightly. 1"It was expected I guess considering the circumstances."
<Xanatos> No. All these things are is a waste of money. They are fake, a gimmick.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, you don't have to worry about that happening.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman stares at them both, tilting her head confused
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nuh-uh. Magic does exist. 6He looks at the woman. 1"There are things in this world that can't be explained, the disappearance of a coin...6He prodcues a coin and rolls it across his knuckles,places it in his palm then opens his hand, it being gone.
* Chad`Winters leans forward, rubbing his hands together. 1"That's not true Zephyr..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What do you mean...?
<Xanatos> Yes it can be explained. That was just a slight of hand.
<Seraphna> "...I loved her... I actually wanted to give my life for her... I've never... never really felt that way before... it was..."
<Chad`Winters> I'm dieing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ---- Please don't joke! 6She jerks.
<Seraphna> "...She didn't deserve it..."
<Red_Fox> "People rarely do..."
<DeathStar> 6* The woman points at a spot on Dias. "The coin is there."
<Seraphna> "...I-I did... it should have been me..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sera...you can't blame yourself. All you can do is make the one who did it - Xevil - pay for it
<Chad`Winters> I'm not, I was exposed to too much radiation when the ship was damamaged when we got it back from Xevil.
* Xanatos smiles. "See? Slight of hand. There is an explanation for everything."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She jerks again, shifting in the bed, holding the toy. "But...I.. you said.."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just frowns and pulls the coin out. 1"You know what Xanatos, there are things that are magical in this world.
<Seraphna> "...That damned bastard... in every reality... he..."
<Xanatos> Oh yeah and what's that?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A childs dream. 6He crosses his arms.
<Red_Fox> "Hmm?"
* Xanatos stares. "I..."
<Chad`Winters> I know...I was being selfish, I didn't want it to be your burden.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, the woman has bought one of the items and walked off.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... How long?
<Xanatos> ...That was the gayest thing i've ever heard. *he pauses and glances around* Wait...where'd Erevis go?
<Chad`Winters> I'm not sure. I haven't looked at my medical charts.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Gay? Oh fuck you.
<Xanatos> You'd like to wouldn't you!? *he just shakes his head and moves on*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks down at her lap, digging her fingers into the palm of her hands. "I don't want anyone else I care aboutto die!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You wish. 6He follows behind him
<DeathStar> 6* "Erevis" stops to look at some Japanese dolls
<Chad`Winters> I'm sorry Erevis...I had no choice at the time.
* Seraphna looks down. "...Thank you... both of you..."
* Xanatos just whistles as he passes by her. "Enjoy your shopping. Don't let them cheat you out of all your money."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "It's nothing. Fox might be a creepy ninja, but she has a big heart."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... 6She keeps looking down.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops by her. 1"Are you wearing that kimono properly?
<Red_Fox> "Like Darien said. Except the creepy ninja part. I'm not creepy, am I?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think so.
* Xanatos stops and turns around, eyeing Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you're naked under it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Am I suppose to be without under garments?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Aye.
<Xanatos> ...Dias. Leave her alone.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis pauses, then turns to correct her oversight
* Xanatos moves forward and slams his elbow down for Dias' head.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey atleast I'm honest enough to tell he..GAH!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is it on correctly? 6She turns to show Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Xan, sadly, is out of the right line of sight
<Chad`Winters> Dias just blinks. 1"I...I...Yes...Yeah..."
* Xanatos tilts his head to eye Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, apparantly satisfied, ties the kimono again, and goes back to the dolls.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly slaps Xanatos. 1"This isn't a damn peep show you pervert.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. You have your moments. But they define you.
* Xanatos eyes Dias and then grabs him by the shirt, tossing him away.
<Red_Fox> "I guess you're right there."
<Chad`Winters> If...When the time comes Zeph, I want you to know that I know that Aya will be in the right hands with you.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles back then looks at him, mouthing. 1"Suckah" 6He just smiles
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... I don't want you to die.... I don't want to have you gone. Aya needs you. We all need you. 6She looks up, crying.
* Xanatos goes to check for his wallet.
* Chad`Winters stands up and moves over to her bed, sitting down beside her. He just reaches his arm around her shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> 6His wallets still there, but instead he gleefully begins describing her bossoms.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans against Chad, quiet now as she contemplates the news of Chad dying
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "Dias. I swear to god. If you don't walk away right now. I will hurt you."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just like Kat's...Thats all I gotta say...Well her's might be bigger...Probably from her hyperspace energy.
* Xanatos counts. "One."
* Chad`Winters rubs her back with his right arm. 1"I already contact Shiva, Aya's on her way."
* Seraphna sighs and rests against Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
<Chad`Winters> I still find it strange that Warren's back...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Two.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's how many nipples she has.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Yeah. I haven't talked to him much yet. He looked dazed.
* Xanatos pulls out one of his pistols and aims it at Dias. "I'm not playing."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll scream.
* Seraphna looks up at Darien
<Xanatos> Not if I shoot you in the throat.
<Chad`Winters> Give him time.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> OH MY GOD SOMEONE HELP ME! THIS GUYS GOTTA GUN!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, looking surprised. "What is wrong, Xanatos Durran?"
<DeathStar> 6* People stare, then go to call ninjas
* Xanatos sighs and slides the pistols into his coat. "Nothing. I hate you Dias."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I win.
<Xanatos> Yeah you win. Now run along.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You were...playing a game?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Sera.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Run...Along? 6He moves over to Erevis. 1"But I want to catch up on old times with Erevis."
<Xanatos> Oh you do, do you? Well that's tough. I heard Myria was looking for you actually...
* Xanatos pauses. "Was it Myria? No...maybe it was Fox?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So? 6He looks over at Erevis. 1"By the way, that is an exquisite Kimono you are wearing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> THank you. 6She seems pleased.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It definetly brings out your beautiful green eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks. "How does it bring them out?"
<Chad`Winters> I'll just have to make sure everyone locks their medicine cabinets.
* Xanatos smirks. "He's paying you a compliment."
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I just assume they do, I am colorblind.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> This is a big hospital... 6She says weakly, giving a sickly smile, not having the heart to joke, but knowing Chad wants normal.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Oh.
<Chad`Winters> I suppose I could just put a shock collar on him...
* Seraphna smiles softly at him. <Thank you.>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The way he keeps talking about saws when he sees you - I'd avoid him
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just winks once.
* Red_Fox smiles
* Xanatos crosses his arm. "Dias. O
<Chad`Winters> Yeah...I have no idea what that's all about. 6He looks are obviously unsure.
* Xanatos crosses his arm. "Dias. I'll give you twenty credits if you cut it ou."
<Xanatos> out*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You know, I found this awesome Sushi bar, care to try some?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is sushi?
<Xanatos> Raw Fish.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes a face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's good, you have to try it.
* Xanatos nods. "Yeah it's nasty."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Xan. 1"Cut...what out?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not believe raw fish is necessary for myself.
<Xanatos> You know what I mean. Stop hitting on her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You want to try new things, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks at Xanatos' words, running her hand along her throat unconsciously. "It does not sound healthy."
* Xanatos glances at Erevis, a frown appearing at the edge of his lips.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I promise you, it's completely safe. Just one piece, that's it.
<Xanatos> Dias. She doesn't want too. Stop pushing it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look Xan, she can decide for herself. She doesn't need you to pick for her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would you desire to eat uncooked fish...?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> To try something new.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Then you may eat raw fish.
* Xanatos just rubs his neck.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If you're too chicken to try it...
<Seraphna> <I... did a lot of things... when you were away... not that you haven't already felt through them.>
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis' lips stiffens. "I am not afraid to eat your raw fish."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods once. <I've gotten the general idea. Care to elaborate?"
* Xanatos makes a face. "He's goading you. Trying to get you to do it because he knows you wont back down from a challenge."
<Chad`Winters> Dias taps his chin. 1"Good, then follow me."
<DeathStar> " = >
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will eat his raw fish. 6She notes, walking after Dias.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure he'll get over it...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You must have really annoyed him
* Xanatos sighs. "Jesus christ..." he mumbles, moving after them.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses his arms behind his head as he walks with her. 1"So what do you think of this beautiful city so faR?"
<Seraphna> <I met up with Spade... and well... realised I still loved him... but you've gotten that part already...>
<Chad`Winters> I didn't think I was around that far back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is very interesting. I find most of the things here to be cemented in tradition. And people say "Hi" when they give you an affirmative answer.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> However, there is no turkey here.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods.
<Xanatos> You serious? Ah man, I was just craving a good turkey sandwich too...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... is raw turkey good?
<Xanatos> ....I don't think so.
<Seraphna> <I realised I wasn't fully with the team, but I wasn't for Spade's choices either, despite my feelings...>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hai...Yeah, it's just tradition around her. It doesn't really mean like Hi, Hi.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. 6She seems sad at that, but nods at Dias
<Seraphna> <So... I put myself before the team as I am... they chose not to have me. So I went to go save Hotaru.>
<Seraphna> <...F-Failed... at that...>
<Seraphna> <I waited, in Spade's company, for the rest to arrive.>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ut it's good tho, from what I've picked up there very honorable around here.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods with understanding.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. That is why I decided to wear their clothing.
* Red_Fox sits there, unable to hear the conversation
<Xanatos> Ah well has anyone said Ohayo to you? *he glances at Erevis*
<Seraphna> <Watching thier fight, I wanted to see who was right, who was wrong... but I couldn't let Spade kill them, so I intervened.>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. What does it mena?
<Chad`Winters> Dias motions to the Sushi bar and moves over to it sitting dow.
<Xanatos> Good Morning.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down, looking at the other people's food with some reserve.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What does "Cosplay" mean? Someone told me that
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns around to look at Xanatos. 1"Yeah...what does it mean?"
* Xanatos shrugs. "I only know that one word." He takes a seat beside Erevis.
<Seraphna> <Spade died... or at least... I thought he did... but i the rush of battle I didn't dwell on it too long...>
<DeathStar> <Darien> <Understandable.> 6He tosses Fox a piece of candy
<Seraphna> <FIghting Xevil we were thrown around in time, I wound up in the past and everything I saw...>
<Red_Fox> "Thanks."
<Red_Fox> "I guess you're both doing that dragoon bond mind-speak."
<DeathStar> 6* DArien nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks disappointed, then looks at Dias for the answer
* Seraphna suddenly remembers Fox is there and blushes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at the guy and orders something simple for Erevis, some eel for Xanatos and then an assortment for himself.
* Xanatos just makes a face. "I'm not eating that."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't be a baby.
<Xanatos> I'd rather be a baby than eat that.
<Seraphna> "...I saw my father for what he really was... and a mistake... while I was dying... I-I saw everything I did wrong..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think it's were they dress up as something...I don't really know
<Seraphna> "...My life flashed before me... all those mistakes... how do you make up for those?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She ponders as the food arrives
<Xanatos> You mean like Halloween?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias claps his hands together and bows to the guy. He grabs his chopsticks and breaks them tossing back a sushi roll. 1"Sure."
<Red_Fox> "You try your hardest to live well from then on..."
<DeathStar> 6* ERevis blinks, then bows.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You just keep moving.
* Red_Fox nods
<Seraphna> "Mom forgave me..."
<Xanatos> Uh...great. *he just stares at the eel*
<DeathStar> <Eel> Little mermaid....! *curls around*
<Chad`Winters> Dias leans forward and looks at Xan. 1"You gonna bow?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis the food, trying to pick it up with chopsticks
<Xanatos> Huh? *he glances up* Uhhh...yeah thanks. *he justs bows slightly, more of a nodding of the head*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like this. 6He holds his hand up, showing ehr how to hold the chopsticks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mimics it
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's good.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Then...6He picks up another sushi roll and pops it into his mouth
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries again, scowls, then tries again
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's hard at first to get the feel of it..
<Red_Fox> "When it comes down to it, all we can do is learn from our mistakes, so as not to repeat them."
<Xanatos> Here. *he moves his hands to hers, showing her by touch*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at him quickly, then down at his demonstration
<Seraphna> "...I have very few friends... I don't want to lose what I have from hiding things and lies anymore..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I noticed some tension when I landed earlier.
<Xanatos> He's right, you really have to get a feel for it. But once you do...*he takes his hand back so she may try again on her own*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries again, and eats the sushi. She coughs on the raw fish
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How's that eel? 6He stares at him with a serious look.
* Xanatos smiles. "Oh it's wonderful." His plate is clean. He glances at Erevis. "I...didn't think you would like it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then stubbornly eats another piece.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey Xan, Erevis can decide for herself...
<Seraphna> "...Kat told Erevis about... what SPade and I did together... in front of everyone."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So what do you think? 6He tosses the last roll in his mouth
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah. 6He nods. "That wasn't probably a direct jab at you, you know."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eats another piece, studying the food so thoroughly she doesn't seem to hear
<Xanatos> I know she can. But I kinda know her better than you. *he notes*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions for three bowls of Beef Ramen
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you think you're an expert on her than?
<Seraphna> "I know... for once I was actually just the bonus damage... she did it to hurt Erevis..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at someone using some green stuff, so she puts a bunch on her next sushi piece, adn pops it in.
<Seraphna> "...I'm not sure what to do now though."
<Chad`Winters> Dias suddenly blinks at looks at Erevis. 1"You didn't just put Wasabi on....did you?
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's tricky.
<Xanatos> No. I just-*he pauses and eyes Erevis*
<Xanatos> I think she did...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis swallows, then her pale skin turns a shade of red.
* Xanatos motions for the waiter, tryin to get a class of milk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Again, answering...6He just shakes his head.
<Seraphna> "...How do you explain to someone... something like that? I didn't... at the time it didn't even occur to me that it was Erevis."
<Xanatos> Shut up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Wa---- That was...hot...
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't think Erevis could understand, really.
* Xanatos pauses and glances at Erevis. "You...did you like it?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah that's Wasabi for you. How ya feeling?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers, then just eats the wasabi
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Xan. 1"OR should I ask you how she's feeling?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is good. More. 6She asks the people serving.
* Xanatos stares. "Oh I think she's feeling great.' He sneers at Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* They stare at the wasabi, then her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
* Xanatos laughs. "I know. I can barely withstand the stuff."
* Chad`Winters looks down at his bowl of beef ramen and then over at theirs. 1"Eat up."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I doubt you've ever had it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries a wasabi (more than the actual sushi roll), and pours soy on it, since someone else did
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eats it
<Red_Fox> "Erevis has had very different experiences.."
<Xanatos> I'm more experienced than you'll ever know Dias. *he notes and just sits back, watching Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes the bowl, then eats it
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you've had sex with her then?
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis looks up, finally tuned into their conversation.
* Xanatos eyes him. "No. That's not what everything is about man."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Try this stuff Ere. 6He hands her a small cup of liquid.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis eyes it, then drinks it tentatively.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey, your the one that mad it sound like it was.
<Seraphna> "...I think I've lost a friend..."
<Xanatos> Yeah right...and what did you just give her?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, Erevis probably would be baffled anyway. I doubt she understands men and women, much less, you know.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' cheeks turn red and she blinks her head oddly.
<Red_Fox> "I.. don't know whether you have or not. I wouldn't know how to explain it though either."
<Xanatos> ...if that was King Red's Fruit Juice...
<Chad`Winters> Dias looks at the bottle. 1"Says sake....whatever that is." 6He pours himself some and takes a drink. 1"Oh get over yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the bottle, eyeing it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ooooh, that's some good shit.
* Xanatos shakes his head. "What is it? Alcohol?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pours herself some more, having to carefully aim for some reason
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look commander tight-ass, I don't know.
<Seraphna> "...I didn't even really know what was going on... he was doing a lot more to me then the other way around..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drinks more, then offers Xan some.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias holds his cup out towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, then tilts his head, as if trying to see something
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pours Dias some, missing mostly.
<Xanatos> Commander tight-ass? Wow. *he takes some and nods, taking a drink* Wow. *he is suddenly a bit more alert* That....
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Woooh. 6He just nods and tosses it back. Moving back to work on the rest of his ramen
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis ponders, then pours some on her sushi
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eats the sushi
<DeathStar> 6* Some people watch the crazy boy and his hot cosplayer chick
* Xanatos glances at the Sushi, then Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And speaking of King Red's Fruit...Weren't you the guy who gave some too Cheryl?
<Xanatos> I did.
* Seraphna looks at DS and blushes. <A-Are you trying to visualise that?>
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course not!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis giggles.
* Xanatos glances at Erevis. "Did you giggle?"
* Red_Fox looks to Darien
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah...That was a giggle Xan.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis plays with the bottle, trying to pour more, still giggling
<Xanatos> Hmmm. I think you got her drunk Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She got herself drunk...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms. "I was merely trying to think of a solution."
<Xanatos> You started it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Go get into a pissing contest with a bathroom stall. 6He waves him off.
* Seraphna blushes now.
<Xanatos> Man you're full of it today. What? You think you're a man now or something?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Manner than you.
<Xanatos> Manner than me, eh? Well since you put it that way...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides his bowl away and tosses down enough credits to cover it all.
<Red_Fox> "For anyone else, I'd say just explaining it, but... this is Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I've never seen Erevis hold a grudge anyway
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, meanwhile, has snuck off
* Xanatos blinks and glances around. "Oh no...where did she go?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs. 1"You're the Erevis expert. You tell me."
* Xanatos sighs and gets up, leaving, looking for Erevis.
* Seraphna sighs a bit and rests back against him.
<Red_Fox> "I'd be scared for the victim if she did."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has discovered trying to lift fish out of a bowl on paper thin scoops. She stares
* Xanatos steps up to beside her. "What's this?" he pauses and eyes it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. Though, since she could break you like a twig, I wouldn't say the wrong thing to her, either
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits at the restaurant, chatting it up with the hostess.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits beside Dias, crossing her arms. "So. Sushi, eh?"
<Seraphna> "...SO basically, hide from my Mother's pilot..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. I'd confront her once, but be sure to be careful.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They scoop up the sushi to get stuff.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Kat, blinking. He suddenly get's a wide smile on his face. 1"Well hello their...Can I call you Kat?"
<Xanatos> ...I don't think you're allowed to eat these fish.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You could. 6She takes a bite out of the sushi that Erevis left.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks for some money to play the game. She realizes her kimono has no more money on it.
<Seraphna> "...Should I give her time...?"
* Xanatos fishes around in his pockets for money.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Care for something else? 6He turns to look at her face to face.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Information.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sake? Excellent. 6He orders a bottle for himself and Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos.
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> So, you're friends with Xanatos, right?
<Red_Fox> "I don't think it could hurt."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> In a wierd way, I suppose yeah.
<Xanatos> Ah. *he pulls out the money* Here. *he extends it out to her*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How close is he and Erevis?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pours himself a glass then hands it to her as he takes a pull from the bottle.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drinks the sake without blinking an eye
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I know they haven't had sex.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles and pays the guy, then tries to get the fish. She fails completely. She turns back to Xan
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmm. ANd?
<Xanatos> I...what? You want to try again?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe. I can't tell you what to do on that.
<Chad`Winters> 6He pours her another glass and takes a sip.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drinks it as slow as Dias, as if she knows better.
* Xanatos sighs and fishes around for some money, he doesn't have much anymore these days, thanks to Billy. "Ah here." He gives her a bit more. "I think that's all I got."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns back and tries to get the fish again. She fails and sighs, then moves on
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes her then motions for a glass. He fills it up. 1"Well I only know him since we got on the PAX pretty much."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmm hm. You seem like the sort who knows what everyone is doing with everyone else, Dias.
* Xanatos moves to follow after her, pulling his arms behind his head. "So Erevis. Do you like it here?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Possibly. 6He downs it, eyeing her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> In Japan? It is pleasant.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, how close are Xan and Erevis? I know he was with Sera for a while.
<Xanatos> Yeah? Do you like it better than where we used to live?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'd say Xanatos would like to have something with her and Erevis is more cautious with her feelings towards him. Drink.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stumbles a bit, clearly drunk. She considers, using an exaggerated face. "I do not know. I have not seem enough."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles a bit, and drinks the sake.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So that's how it is, huh?
* Xanatos tilts his head. "I do believe you're drunk young lady."
<Chad`Winters> 6He fills his glass up again and fills her's again. 1"Well this is partly a guess since he's not with you right now when obviously he could be. Crazy guys."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are clearly incorrect.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And you obviously still harbor feelings, which are understandable according to your circumstances.
<Xanatos> I am? I don't believe so. You see, I used to be a drunk, and I know someone is drunk when I see em.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you a counselor?
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina smiles a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face him, getting close to eye him. "I am not drunk."
<Xanatos> Prove it. Stand on one foot and touch your nose. *he says simply, not moving back*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Why?
<DeathStar> 6* She looks baffled
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A counselor of love. 6He gives John's trademark smile. 1"You're most likely feeling bitter, hurt, angry...6He scrunches his lips. 1"And some of those other emotions. Drink."
<Xanatos> If you succeed at it. Then you are not drunk.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias downs his glass.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drinks another sake.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias refills their glasses.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... How does this prove such a state of the mind?
<Xanatos> Because drunk people have no balance, and sober people generally do. Now are you going to argue with me, or are you going to prove me wrong?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A sane person would just walk away and move on, but since we both know girls in love are rarely sane at the appropriate times, you have other plans. Right? 6He leans forward, swirling his glass
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have no need to prove such a thing to you. 6She pauses, then decides to wave her hand in dismissal.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that so? 6She asks, amused.
<Red_Fox> "I don't think it could hurt."
* Xanatos scoffs. "Now I know for sure that you're drunk."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Why?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Why else would you approach me? When you've turned down every single pass I've made at you. I mean you didn't even ask me how I'm doing, Fine by the way. 6He smiles at her. "And your questions have been about Xanatos and Erevis only. It's pretty obvious what your minds focused on.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Drink by the way. 6He nods and takes his glass, downing it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're not half bad, Dias. I should get you a job that doesn't involve fighting
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drinks it
<Xanatos> Because. *he pauses, considering* Normally you would have jumped at the chance to prove me wrong. But the alcohol in your system has presented you with a lack of caring in that manner.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'd probably wind up punching someone. That's usually how I end my discussions. You're just lucky your so damn good looking. 6He fills their glasses and raises his towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes a small noise.
<Xanatos> What...was that?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What?
<Xanatos> That...noise?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, if I didn't know better, I'd be flattered. 6She smiles, toasting and drinking
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Sets his glass down refilling their drinks again. He puts his hand to his chest. 1"I'm honestly hurt Kat."
* Xanatos shrugs. "Anyway, anything else you'd like to see?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can read emotions. You're fine.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ....How bout now?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias even sticks his lower lip out
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not really feeling it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shrugs lazily.
<Xanatos> Bout time to head back then? *he tilts his head*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shrugs lazily.
<Xanatos> Well I can't make your choices for you, wouldn't want Dias to get all pissy serious on us again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Now you asked for it. Xevil kicking a puppy...no wait that's angry....A puppy dieing...6A tear starts to form
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes the same noise.
* Xanatos sighs. "Come'on then. I'm taking you home."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No
<Xanatos> Well then what? Do you want me to leave you alone?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No
<Xanatos> Then...do you just want to walk maybe?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shrugs lazily.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... wow. You're bad at this.
<Xanatos> ...come'on. Let's go for a walk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's not fair, it's not ever day I try to court a empath...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and walks along. Not in a rational pattern, but one.
* Xanatos does he best to keep in step.
<DeathStar> 6* People eye Xan and Erevis oddly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So any other questions you'd like to know?
<Xanatos> You know. I heard walking strait is what all the normal people do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm trying.
* Xanatos smiles. "You're not doing a very good job."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... No, I guess not. 6She takes a deep breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks hurt.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How you gonna handle this, if I may ask? 6He takes a sip off his drink.
<Xanatos> It's alright, once you get drunk more often, you'll get used to it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not. I've missed out too much life to be chasing after things that aren't there anymore.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> They say we can only look forward because if you constantly look back, you'll run into a street sign.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not drunk. 6She says sulkily. Who knew she knew how to sulk
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Did you learn that from experience?
<Xanatos> ...Are you...sulking? When did you learn how to do that!?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ....Yes...I thought a dog was following me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina laughs merrily.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hilarious I know. I wasn't always this cool. I had to work at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a proud sniff. "I am unware of what you mean."
<Xanatos> Oh yeah right. You're drunk and you're sulking. I've seen it all. I think I can retire now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What will you do now? 6She asks in confusion
<Xanatos> What do you mean, what will I do now?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You said you will retire.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ah, Dias. If you ever settle down, you'll make some girl very happy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Was I settled down in the future?
* Xanatos laughs. "No, I was joking. Exaggerating."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lying!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Well, no.
<Xanatos> I was not lying. Come'on now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Were me and John friends? 6He looks over at her, twisting his cup with his fingers
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Best of friends
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to argue, but bumps into a guy where a dragon mask. She takes several steps back, preparing to blast him with her mind
* Xanatos steps forward quickly. "Erevis don't. It's just a mask."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *peers at it oddly as the guy keeps walking*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lets out a light laugh. 1"I bet we had all sorts of fun."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmm, yes. You two were quite the couple.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ....Couple?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmm hm. You'd even hold each other's hands as you played.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh har har har. Drink. 6He says seriously.
* Xanatos eyes her for a moment. "You alright?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks dead serious, and drinks her sake dead seriously. "In fact, after an amazing victory, you went to kiss each other."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I was merely wondering why someone would wish to look so strange.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> God, I'm suddenly glad he died.
<Xanatos> I believe it is because it gets them attention.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sips her sake.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Why does Dias not wear masks?
<Xanatos> Good question. He probably should. *he admits*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shakes his head, laughing to himself. 1"You'd almost be good at poker. So what do you plan on doing next?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not sure. I'll let you know, though
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly sits down
* Xanatos blinks. "Get tired?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really, huh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You asked to know. Unless you didn't mean it
<Chad`Winters> I did. I mean it is easier than to bribe someone to tail you and then tell me.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ha ha.
* Xanatos kneels beside her. "You're a very interesting drunk."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias points off to her side. 1"What's that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not drunk. 6She sounds annoyed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A... table? 6She guesses.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You surE?
<Xanatos> Oh come'on now. You can't walk strait. Before you drank the sake you could walk strait, and now that you've drank the sake you can't. You're drunk. Sake is an alcohol...made from rice I think.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hesitates, then actually double checks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Rice is not alcholic.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly signal someone to back off, then looks innocent when she turns back
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks confused
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh...Guess you were right.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Somehow, I'm not so sure now...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You could touch the table if you don't believe me.
<Xanatos> It is if you distill it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How do you make rice still...?
<Xanatos> Set it on a table? *he shrugs*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks doubtful, and still convined she's not drunk
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... that's okay.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you think I'd make a girl happy, huh? 6He down's his drink, motionting towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina waves her hand in a no gesture. "I'm drunk."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But yes, if you'd settled down with just one
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just tisks. 1"You know...I bet you'd look good in a kimono.
<Xanatos> Well you're not drunk. You're just tipsy then. How about that?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, is that right? Why am I getting the feeling you'd already know what I'd look like?
* Xanatos offers out his hand. "Come'on let's go sit down on a bench, away from the middle of the sidewalk, street area."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at people being forced to walk around them, then looks at Xanatos.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Are you saying I secretly hired ninja's to take a picture of you so I could crop different clothes on? Come on now, I can't even use my datapad properly
<Xanatos> We're kinda being rude. *he notes*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, using Xanatos like a wall to get up, then proudly walks out of people's way.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmm. 6She studies him. "You know know what I'd look like, don't you?"
* Xanatos just shakes his head, smiling as he moves along after her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, those damn ninja's wanted me to pay ahead first...What kind of business is that?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squints at him, trying to read his mind, but sighs, unable to do so
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Something tells me you've got a wild streak hidden beneath that serious demeanor.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not that I'd show you. 6She teases.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, spotting an area that hasn't had it's snow cleared out - and wlaks over there, instead of the bench
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's hard to keep up with me...I mean John did train me in.
* Xanatos stops just outside the snow, watching her. "You're going to get cold."
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis ignores him and just plops down in the snow, despite being in a kimono
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah. John was great. 6She smiles sadly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He taught me alomst everything I know. 6He wiggles his eyebrows at her.
<Xanatos> You're going to get sick. *he warns*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there stubbornly, then makes snowballs.
* Xanatos watches her, crossing his arms. "I'll tell Ariel on you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws the snow in his face.
* Xanatos blinks, and spits some of the snow out. "That wasn't very nice!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You were mean first.
<Xanatos> I was just kidding!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Oh.
* Xanatos smiles. "Say. You ever made a snow angel before?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Terrible.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just laughs heartily. 1"I thought you'd like that visual."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis plops over and makes one.
<DeathStar> 6* Then promptly shivers
<Xanatos> Ohhhh that's right. I showed you once before. *he smiles at her shivering* Come'on, stand up and i'll let you use my coat. It'll make you real warm. *he pulls it off and shakes it tauntingly*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not need your coat.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up, refusing to shiver. She fails. So she refuses to look at Xan
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Too make sa-ke for you
<Xanatos> Oh? But i'm offering it to you. It's not like you're taking it from me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sa-ke...That's how it's said? God do I feel like an idiot...Speaking of idiots...6He looks around.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I-it is unnecessary.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... What?
<Xanatos> If you don't take it you'll get sick and then you will have proved nothing. Come'on, accept some help from me every now and then.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh...nothing. 6He hops off the chair, standing upright as if he hasn't had a drop.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, as if remembering something, then stands up, putting on the coat.
* Xanatos smiles. "You just remembered the porch incident didn't you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I remembered the bullet. 6She says, adjusting the coat.
<Xanatos> Bullet? *he tilts his head* What bullet?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you and Shiva going to make sweet sweet love? 6His eyes go wide.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis just offers a smile.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... What?
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "Oh now that's just mean." He sticks his lower lip out, pouting.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws snow in his face again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Where did you get THAT?
* Xanatos sputs. "Oh come'on!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh when we dealt with Shiva earlier I brought it up that you were back and she got really excited.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Come on? 6She throws more; clearly, he wants more.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really?
* Xanatos laughs. "Ok Ok. Enough." He is pretty wet now, and a bit cold.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops, then offers the coat.
* Xanatos holds up a hand. "I'm alright for now."
* Xanatos snaps his fingers. "The BULLET!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just smiles. 1"She seemed overjoyed to get to see you, but wow, by tacking on really excited, I got to learn that you yourself are interested in it...Interesting indeed."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks tired again and is about to sit again
<DeathStar> 6* Then jerks as Xan freaks
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> ... Wow.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks in surprie, shock, and being impressed
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's my my best friend. It'll be ... nice to see her again
<Xanatos> Ooops. Didn't mean to startle you. Had a moment.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nice to see her again, huh? I can tell Chad to let her know to dress sexy for you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She eyes him as if he were the drunk one
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6She has more sake.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Good I didn't have to tell you. Would you like to know when she's coming to Earth?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe. 6She acts casual.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Today?
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Can we go home now?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll make you a deal. Give me an innocent kiss on the lips and I'll give you the time and the day.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses. "Where is ... home?"
<Xanatos> I. *he also pauses and glances around* I have no idea. Let's go find Dias, he'll know.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and moves along.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hah. HAh. No
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Shiva will look me up when she arrives.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Unless I tell her you left already...6He gives her devilish smile
* Xanatos moves along beside her, whistling as he does.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you did that, I might not tell you where John left all his college 'magazines'.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses narrowing his eyes at Katrina
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tiredly leans on Xan
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well played Katrina McCormick...Well played indeed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A kiss on the cheek then?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> My mind is getting foggy I believe.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fine, a hug but I get to grab your ass.
* Xanatos moves along with her, despite the chill on his arms, he is smiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances back as Xan and Erevis return, and her good mood drops away like a curtain
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Eyes the two then rubs his chin. 1"She'll be hear tomorrow morning, she's bringing Aya back for Chad and Zephyr.
* Xanatos droops to a neutral face, he glances from Dias to Kat.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I believe her shuttle should arrive at around 11:29 am our time.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Thanks, Dias." 6She stands up and walks out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns watching her ass as she walks out.
* Xanatos watches her walk out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rubs her throat, and straightens herself up.
* Xanatos glances at Erevis now. "You alright?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just sighs and looks over at the two. 1"Erevis, I see you're safe and well."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm? Yes.
<Xanatos> Oh. Dias, do you know where everyone is staying. She can't remember and I don't think anyone told me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're kidding me, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quietly takes someone's wasabi
<Xanatos> Uh, sure. I walked all the back here to joke with you.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Darien told you you had to set up your own place to stay.....Fucking moron...6He throws his hands up as he mutters the last part.
<Xanatos> He what!? I have no money, Billy took all of mine to buy that stupid gun.
<DeathStar> 6* The scene flashes back to the remains of the Organ Grinder
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? Huh..All I got was a lousy gumball when I sold Marcus to her.
<Xanatos> You sold Marcus too her?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> NO! I'd never do such a thing! 6He takes a giant drink from the bottle of sake, setting it down.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down - at someone elses' table, and lays her head down on their table.
* Xanatos sighs. "I guess I can just take her to the hospital, I think Ariel is there..." He moves over and kneels beside her. "Come'on, hop on my back and i'll carry you too the hospital, we can check on Ariel."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You should adjust her kimono, because I can see Lodong and I can see France. And I definetly. 6He tilts his head. 1"See her non underpants.
* Xanatos sighs and moves over to lift Erevis up, making sure not to show off her naughty bits.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No wait...don't adjust it. It's fine.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Interesting, the carpet definetly doesn't match the drapes.
<Xanatos> Shut up. *he steps out with her*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Watch out for those updrafts.
<Xanatos> ...Dias. Enough. I'm tired.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey, I'm just doing you a service. 6He steps out after them.
<Xanatos> Oh? And how are you doing me a service?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I warned you about the updrafts. 6He squats into a crouched position.
* Xanatos twists so Dias can't get a peak. "Cut it out. Seriously."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm just stretching my calfs man...Chill out.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I have a hankering for a Geisha girl...6He takes one final look and just nods then turns and leaves
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mumbles Japanese words.
* Xanatos shakes his head and then glances down at Erevis. "What was that?"
<DeathStar> 6* For more of Dias' adventures, please watch your local hentai
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ohiyo
* Xanatos smiles. "Good morning."

<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 Day After Last Episode. Thanksgiving Day! W00t
<DeathStar> Location: Japan
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits outside a tea place on one of their seats. He has a hooded sweatshirt on and fingerless gloves.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos, by some fate of the gods, is with him
<Xanatos> ...Since when do you drink Tea?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Since when did you follow me around? 6He takes a sip, turning to look at Xan now.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope, having returned with Shiva, is in the hospital - in a coma from being shot in the head by a certain heroine.
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<Xanatos> I'm trying to figure out your game.
<Chad`Winters> 6A knock can be heard on the door to Zephyr's room.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I've never been a fan of chess...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snuggles up to the toy that Chad gave her, opening her eyes tiredly, glancing back. "Yes?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva steps in then sets Aya down. 1"I brought a guest who's been dieing to see you."
<Xanatos> I'd imagine not. What with you being as dumb as a rock.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, honey. 6She pushes herself up as Aya wobbles over and tries to climb up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva leans against the doorway. 1"You look like shit."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was shot. A lot. 6She uses her good arm to pull Aya up, who gives her a hug.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And here I was taught that it was bad practice to use your body to stop bullets.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, it's mostly because I can't tell which pieces were mine.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: are
<Xanatos> ...you see in black and white.
<Ariel> Em> *knocks quietly on Pope's door, peeking in to see if he's awake*
<DeathStar> 6* Pope remains in a coma.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah... 6She studies Aya, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
* Terra sits by Pope, watching over him, worried. "I... don't know if you can even hear me, but..." *pauses, uncertain of what to say* "I owe pretty much my life to you."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I like tea Xanatos. 6He takes another sip.
<Xanatos> That's pretty fruity. You're full of all kinda of gay hobby's.
<Terra> "... oh, hi Em..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Because only a gay man would engineer a master plan to see Erevis' boobs.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> She's quite the troublemaker at times, I'm amazed you and Chad can keep up with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits on the hospital roof, holding a datapad as he manages getting hotel rooms for everyone, who seem incapable of doing it themselves.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She's just testing you. 6*Aya beams.
<Ariel> Em> *nods slowly... she hoped he might be awake* "Hey..."
<Xanatos> Never said you was gay. You just have some gay hobbys.
* Seraphna sits nearby him, yawning a bit.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> She's quite the business lady herself too. You wouldn't believe how many deals I closed because of her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What...sort of deals? 6She asks suspiciously.
<Terra> "... any idea when he'll recover...?"
<Chad`Winters> Trade agreements.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Shiva
* Terra tries not to think of the alternative, but her tone suggests it's there, in the back of her mind anyway
* Ariel steps on to the roof, "...unusual place to hang out."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You would be surprised at the number of events that occur on Japanese rooftops.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up.
<Terra> <Red_Fox> *is not around*
<Ariel> Em> *shakes her head* "No... it's not like I'm-" *hesitates* "-THAT type of psychic..."
* Seraphna looks over at her mother and smiles weakly.
<Terra> "Sorry... I'm no expert on psychic powers."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Says the man who's mentally retarded. 6He finishes his tea.
<Ariel> "Ninjas?" *casually gestures behind her, not realizing Setsuna is in the background, and jumps from one building to another, and disappears out of sight*
<Xanatos> Hey I get a check for that. *he shrugs* So tell me something. What exactly did you and Kat talk about?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches over, grabbing his coffee cup and sipping. He glances over at Chad in the garden, then casually pours his coffee over the side.
<Chad`Winters> Chad blinks as coffee splatters by his feet. He glances up then turns slightly, looking up at Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Draien is already glancing back at Ariel. "You never know with the company we keep."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Information isn't free my friend...
<Ariel> Em> *shrugs a little*
<Ariel> "Yeah... that's true." *makes her way over, and takes a seat*
<Xanatos> What do you need then?
<Terra> "Without Pope, I don't think I could've made it this far.."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What sort of...trade?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well since I enjoy playing games so much...6He motions for a bottle of sake.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Feeling better? 6He glances over Ariel for any signs of wounds
* Chad`Winters just grunts and gets up, moving over to another bench. He sits there, pulling his data pad back out.
* Seraphna watches her mother quietly, "...It was my fault... she used a lot of her energy to restore my hand..."
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's the sort of good natured person Ariel is.
* Seraphna nods and looks down, blushing slightly.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Commercial goods. 6She just nods.
* Xanatos tilts his head. "You wanting to have a drinking contest or something?"
<Terra> "He's a great bloke... do you like him a lot?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh no...6He pours himself and Xanatos a glass then hands Xan his.
<Xanatos> Good cause I don't feel like passing out today. *he takes a sip*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't want to know, I think. 6She watches Aya play with her toy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> For every question you ask, you need to down it.
* Xanatos pauses and tilts his head. "Alright."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> She actually made about 10,000 credits on one of trade agreements.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at him, waiting for him to down the glass.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hear that, honey? You can go to college.
* Xanatos smiles. "The game hasn't started yet."
<Seraphna> "...How... is Erevis doing... Mom...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You asked me a question already.
<Xanatos> Before the rules of the game were made clear.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> UT!
<Xanatos> Ut yourself.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel as well now, curious as to the answer.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than I don't have to answer the question. 6He turns away from Xanatos.
* Xanatos shrugs. "Then you don't. But I figure you're my friend in some weird way, might as well help me out for a change."
<Terra> "Em?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well, I delivered my end of the deal. And for that, I take my leave. 6She bows to Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thank you, Shiva. 6She glances up at her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Help you out?
<DeathStar> NRP: *Em has been killed by ninjas*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Take care of yourself Zephyr...And Aya, business rule number one?
<Terra> NRP: Em has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough Hunter to save Em?
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. ARGh
<DeathStar> <Aya> Bye wow, swell high!
<Xanatos> Yeah you know, something you do for someone that eases some stress.
* Ariel is still rather... burnt. She's healing, but she seems rather drained, but nothing crippling. "I can't say I haven't been better... you'd be surprised how much hyperspace hurts..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Good job. 6She bows again then turns leaving
<Ariel> Em> "...yeah. Yeah, I do."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just yawns, unwavering.
<Seraphna> "...I can't say I could imagine..."
<Terra> "You'd be good together.." *sounds a little wistful, but honestly means it*
* Xanatos just sighs. "You suck."
<Chad`Winters> Dias motions for a bowl of rice.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I know. 6He remembers his fight with Wind, adjusting his half metal arm.
* Chad`Winters glances at his watch then quickly stands up, moving inside.
* Xanatos taps his hand on the table for a few seconds before dropping the sake back. He exhales gruffly and extends the cup out to Dias. "Alright. Now. What did you and Kat talk about yesterday at the sushi bar?"
<Ariel> "As for Erevis. She's been... private..."
<Ariel> Em> "...you think so?"
<Seraphna> "...SHe closed off from you?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> About how we both missed John.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm.
<Terra> "I'm probably not the best judge, but... yeah."
<Seraphna> *Sera blinks and then rubs her arms as well, it seems she accessed that memory.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva steps out of the hospital and into a cab which takes off
<Ariel> "... I suppose I was not ment to be as invasive."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eagerly refills the cup for Xan
* Xanatos stares. "I'm not drinking until you tell the truth. I want to know everything you talked about. 1 question, one drink. But I want all the details."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry, that information is privvy, savvy?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Doctor, patient policy.
<Xanatos> ....Whatever. *he stands and turns to leave*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I find it interesting Erevis wouldn't tell you something. I thought you were close.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I did tell her she'd look good naked.
<Seraphna> "...I don't know how I'll ever make this right... I didn't even think it was her..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> She wouldn't even know if Katrina hadn't told her.
<Seraphna> "...I had hoped she wouldn't have to know... damnit..."
* Xanatos pauses and turns to look at Dias, he sits back down. "You're predictable. That's all you care about."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm sorry....what? 6He looks at him confused
<Ariel> "...you know. I want to say that you can't change the past... but after the last few days...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Dear God, you aren't suggesting going back in time?
* Xanatos motions for Dias to drink now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Without the spear, I think it's impossible.
<Ariel> "No. But it wouldn't be correct if I said that there was no way to do it, now would it?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at Xanatos, eyeing him cautiously, then a smug smirk appears on his face. He downs it, refilling it.
<Seraphna> "...Mother has a point."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think you've been hanging around Erevis too much. 6He notes dryly.
<Terra> "I wonder what I should do from now on."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Answer.
<Ariel> Em> "What do you mean?
* Chad`Winters steps into Zephy'rs hospital room. 1"So the bundle of joy is finally here.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Aya are cuddled up - and asleep.
<Seraphna> "...I wonder how much damage, this entire conflict really caused..."
* Chad`Winters slows to a stop, a small smile appearing on his face. He moves over to her quietly and pulls the sheets over her and Aya.
* Xanatos then drinks his. "You seem to only show attention toward a female in hopes of getting in her pants. You can't do something out of the goodness of your heart, and it's predictable. Your methods change but in the end, your goal is one thing.
<Terra> "PAX is gone, and... I'd kindof devoted myself to that. Maybe I can get some kind of job on some other ship, even if just as a courier or something..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs, letting Xan say whatever he wants, only responding by refilling.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Impossible to tell.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Don't think about getting fresh with her. *he is sitting in a wheelchair in Zephyr's door*
<Ariel> "I wonder how Warren will adapt... this isn't his world."
<DeathStar> <Darien> He might regain the other Warren's memories. Time travel is tricky. You essentially tried to get time to accept him as the real thing.
* Chad`Winters moves his hand along Aya's head, running it along her cheek. 1"They're asleep, keep it down."
<Xanatos> And I don't believe you talked about John only. He may have been mentioned but I know talked about other things. More specifically, what did she have to say about me?
<Terra> "I'm going to stick around a while though... I want to see Pope recover."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I just hope there aren't reprocussions.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions to his drink.
* Xanatos downs it, then awaits his reply.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Cute. Aren't they? *his tone is soft, so as not to wake them*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just refills it. 1"She asked me if the mental retardation was for real or if that was your new way of picking up chicks and passing through life.
<Ariel> Em> "Is there...?"
<Terra> "Is there what?"
<Xanatos> Oh right, I believe that.
<Ariel> "It was a situation where there was no way to avoid drastically changing things. Cran had a giant, wind powered mech. That wasn't supposed to happen."
<Chad`Winters> One is my closet friend and the other's my daughter. 6He steps back.
<Seraphna> "...A-Actually..."
* Seraphna looks down.
<Seraphna> "...THat lab is in this world too."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Sera, then at Ariel. "Well, lets hope no one goes looking for a giant, wind powered mech then."
<Ariel> "I believe Wind would take offense to it."
<Seraphna> "...I want to go there, very soon, if we find Ragnarok there, we can destroy it before it's used."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's true.
* Xanatos just sighs. "This is getting us nowhere but drunksville."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm sober.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'd like him to take offense myself.
<Seraphna> "...It's important to me to find out who I am... and... anything else I should know about myself."
<Ariel> "Take the offensive?"
<Xanatos> Yeah cause you don't need information from me.
* Ariel gives Sera an odd look
<DeathStar> <Darien> Offense. Not offesnive.
* Seraphna looks knowingly to her pilot.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to Sera.
* Seraphna looks back at Ariel.
<Seraphna> "...What's wrong?"
<Ariel> Em> "Well... nevermind."
<Seraphna> "...You must know by now I wasn't created in the same way the Alphas were."
<Ariel> "You obsess over... how others define you."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wow you're strung tightly. *he notes*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> They say that history repeats itself and that very few are able to see this and break out of such ruts Xan, and you for one are someone who never see's farther than his own foot steps.
<Xanatos> Then enlighten me. *he says, waving his hand*
<Seraphna> "...If I did that now... I'd probably have killed Chad for his look. I simply want to know about my past, where I came from."
<DeathStar> <Darien> How can one know where they are suppose to go, if they don't know where they come from?
<Chad`Winters> 6The cab comes to a stop and Shiva steps out, she begins moving towards a club.
<Terra> "If you mean anywhere for me to go, not really."
* Seraphna nods softly, looking down.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Will it really change anything Xan?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes buying hotel rooms for everyone, then sends them memos on their datapads.
<Seraphna> "...I told people I was Angela Bennet, in the past Mom... that name comes from something Phaeton told me..."
<Terra> "... I do care about Pope, but..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Speaking of Phaeton. You guys never got him, did you?
* Seraphna looks up and blinks.
<Xanatos> You never know. Maybe the very next sentence that comes out of your mouth will cause this great...epiphany for me...maybe you can change my whole perspective on life.
<Seraphna> "...N-No... we didn't..."
<Seraphna> "...He wasn't at the Ragnarok base..."
* Ariel shakes her head, "Cran was a rather... significant, distraction."
* Chad`Winters glances at his datapad, eyeing it oddly. He then glances over at Marcus. 1"Watch your step..." 6He begins moving towards the door.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Disturbing.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I doubt it.
<Seraphna> "...We should check out that base as soon as we can then."
<Xanatos> Oh funny. *he backs himself out of the room* Pick on the guy in a wheelchair. That's how you do it.
<Xanatos> MRP: Marcus*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya suddenly pushes past Marcus and grabs Chad's leg.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Daddy!
<Xanatos> Like I said. You never know.
* Chad`Winters glances at Marcus again then stops, llooking down at Aya. His face suddenly warms up and he reaches down, picking her up.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hi!
<Chad`Winters> Hey angel...How's my little princess?
<Terra> "Even if you weren't around, I couldn't."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Gwood. You get me anythin'?
<Seraphna> "...Mother... you can talk to Cheryl over your network right?"
<Xanatos> *Marcus turns himself then begins to wheel himself down the hallway.
* Chad`Winters pauses, then shifts Away around and fishes through his pockets. He than holds his closed fist out to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's eyes light up
* Chad`Winters turns his hand over and opens his fist, revealing a small locket on a necklace.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya grabs it eagerly. "Pwetty
<Chad`Winters> If you open it...6He reaches over clicking it open, revealing a picture of him and her from back on the PAX. 1"You'll then have a picture of me so I'll always be with you."
<Xanatos> *A knock can be heard at Pope's door.
* Terra goes to answer it
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva steps into the club, she moves over to the bar and orders a drink.
* Terra is, strangely, in a floral dress, instead of her usual outfit.
<Xanatos> *Marcus is sitting there in his new wheels. "Well now. I thought it was a british fellow that lived here. Must have the wrong address."
<Terra> "Hey Marcus. We were just visiting."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I love to gamble, that much is true. But I also know when the odds suck so bad to step back.
<DeathStar> 6* A woman leans her back against the bar, wearing a black top and skirt. She tilts her head to look at Shiva, giving her a smile, her green eyes full of mischieviousness. "Hey you."
* Ariel nods, "Though... she is rather occupied at the moment."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods. "But you already always wit me!"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Good thing too. I woulda look right retarded knocking on a coma patient's door. *he smiles and wheels himself into the room*
<Terra> "You're not related to Xanatos, are you?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I heard a dilly of a rumor. They say a green-eyed hell cat came back from the land of the dead...You wouldn't happen to know if this rumor is true, would you? 6She slowly looks over at her.
<Seraphna> "...Well, you could remind her I have something to tell her... occupied?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Know, he wouldn't have known that people were visiting pope. And I myseriously knew. *he waves his hands mysteriously*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't see anyone dead here. 6She orders a drink with an olive
<Ariel> "...she's busy."
<Chad`Winters> I am...but sometimes I won't be able to, if I have to work or go beat someone up for looking at mommy wrong.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Mommy could bweat them up.
* Xanatos shrugs. "Fine. The once chance you can actually help me. And you don't. Do you think that if you had a problem, that I wouldn't help you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snort laughs, having woke up during Aya's squealing.
<Terra> "Good enough for me."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nice dress by the way, very in season. *he nods impressed, then glances at Em* Hey Em.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Than I'd have to say...Cheers. 6She holds her drink out to Kat.
<Seraphna> "...With what...?"
<Terra> "Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina toasts back, drinking all of her drink in one swallow, then eating the olive.
<Chad`Winters> Yes she could. 6He just smiles. 1"Did you have fun with Aunt Shiva?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva downs the drink, the motions for two shots. 1"It's good to see you, Kat."
<DeathStar> <Aya> She said I could buy a castle. And a pony.
* Ariel shrugs, "I decided not to be invasive."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And it's wonderful to see you again, Shiva.
<Chad`Winters> She would say that. Did you behave for her?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks innocent.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Supposedly she made Shiva lots of money. I didn't ask how.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr sits up in her bed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias waits for Xan to drink since he asked a question
* Xanatos eyes Dias back, since he also asked a question.
<Chad`Winters> I can only imagine the ways she'd use you to make a deal go through.
<Seraphna> "...Is Warren with her?"
<Chad`Winters> Give daddy a kiss. 6She leans his head in towards Aya.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shrugs and downs his drink, filling it up
<Ariel> "I didn't inquire."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya kisses Chad's cheek.
* Xanatos also downs his.
* Seraphna sighs silently and nods. "...We should tell her she's with child soon."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Warren might announce that on his own.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I wouldn't expect your help.
<Xanatos> Yeah, but sometimes we all need a little help. Even from out big retarded friend.
<Seraphna> "....What do you plan to do now Darien...? Mom?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's too early to say anything. Earth is still in chaos after the Tsivrixsh occupation left.
<Chad`Winters> Go show mommy what I got you. 6He sets her down.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I imagine we'll need a good week before anything can be really guessed at.
<Xanatos> *Marcus claps his hands together. "Anyway, I came to check on British here. Still hibernating I see."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> There's nothing better than watching a guy who acts like he knows woman ask for help.
* Ariel nods. "It's hard to guess where the next threat will come from... but I can't believe that one isn't coming. There's too much turmoil."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hops down and runs over to show Zephyr.
<Ariel> Em> "...you could give him a little more respect."
<Seraphna> "...I wish war would end..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just steps forward and gives Kat a tight hug.
<Xanatos> Please. I don't act like I know women. I know certain people.
<Terra> "He's in a coma."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Apparently even that last parts untrue.
* Terra sounds annoyed at Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hugs Shiva back, leaning her head on Shiva's shoulder. "Tell me you haven't changed much."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias refills the glasses.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Pish posh Terra. He's sleepin, didn't you know?
<Xanatos> Apparently so.
<Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope believes, if he were awake, he would be annoyed and smoking.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> If you're referring to my cold-blooded narcisistic fueled ego...Than no. I'm still the same girl.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Terra, we've talked about this. I get sarcastic and loopy, being on pain killers. And you ignore me. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's good. ... Are you okay? 6She asks, not needing to bring up John's name.
<Terra> "... this is serious..."
* Xanatos taps his fingers on the table. "I just wanted to know if Kat said anything about me. That's all. I can imagine how she feels."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm managing Kat. With the Tsiv freeing Cartel space I've been very busy restructuring and restoring things.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at him than slides him the rest of the 2/3rds filled bottle. 1"I'll make you a deal. You finish this bottle and I'll tell you exactly what you should do."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Jeez. This is why you and I could never work out. Too much seriousness and not enough laughing and smiling. You know how many times I told you that you were absolutely beautiful when you smiled. But nooo, so much for that now."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's good.
* Chad`Winters leans against the wall, watching Aya and Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall leans on Chad
<Chad`Winters> Shiva hands Kat her shot then cheers her and downs it.
<Terra> "... yeah. That's why..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws it back, making a face. "I think alcohol is near the top of the list of things I've missed."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says nothing. No comments need responding to
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And how 'bout you? How you coping? 6She looks at her.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh well. So has there been any change with him?
* Seraphna sits quietly and looks at her mother.
<Terra> "He's still out cold."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm great. I'm alive. And Mr. Jack Daniels is a very nice fellow.
<Seraphna> "...I'm... not sure what to do... I suppose just stick with Darien..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> One of the few guys that'll always be there for you.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> He's in a coma Terra, please this is serious. *he pauses and smiles at her* Kidding.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You can't stick with me forever, kiddo. Sooner or later, the bird has to fly solo.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But I will go to the lab with you.
* Terra smiles weakly
* Ariel looks a little relieved at that.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A-men. 6She laughs merrily.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Good, you didn't forget how to laugh. 6She orders another drink and begins sipping from it
* Seraphna looks down, clearly not relieved. "...Alright..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sometimes, laughter is all you got.
* Xan|Gone has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> That's not always true Kat. 6She gives her a wicked look.
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina arches an eyebrow, giving her a devil smile. "IS that right?"
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> There are some things that never change. 6She takes a sip, smiling
<Seraphna> "...I wish you didn't have the need to be solo... you're one of the few people to ever really... understand me."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But I'm a good girl. 6She wags her fingers.
<Terra> "Hey.. Em? What's it like...?"
<Xanatos> *Marcus pauses and glances from Terra to Em.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, consider this, Sera. 6He puts his hands into his black coat. "The best way to know yourself, is when you have no one else to talk to. Then, you only have yourself to talk with. And then, you can have the talk that you need to have."
* Xanatos eyes Dias for a moment. "You see. I know you're going to screw me over, but I guess i'm really interested in what you have to say." He takes the bottle of sake and begins to take drinks from it, pacing himself.
<Ariel> Em> "What's what like...?"
<Terra> "Being... you know..."
* Ariel wonders if that'd work with Sera... she always seems to have someone else in her head, even if it's another her.
* Seraphna looks down, "...Already had that talk... after you left."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And yet, you're left with more questions than answers. So, did you listen?
* Seraphna looks up, her oddly paired eyes blinking as if to accent that.
<Seraphna> "...Probably not well..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans agains the counter, watching Xan suck the sake down.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know, I honestly believe it's easier to understand other people than it is yourself. So, if you truly understand yourself, you're miles ahead of everyone else.
<Seraphna> "...I don't know if I'll ever find someone who... well... doesn't just see me as the Omega."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think you'd be surprised that very few people see you as that.
* Seraphna looks down again.
* Xanatos finally finished it and sets it down, he eyes Dias now, his face red as the alcohol begins to take affect.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe, really, only you see yourself like that.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just stares, waiting for Terra to spit it out.
* Seraphna looks up at him and opens her mouth, closing it again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Like I said, it's easier to read others, than it is yourself.
* Terra looks to Marcus. "Well, if you don't know about it, I'm not telling."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm gonna tell you the opposite of what John told you back on Pax, Xan. And that is to keep your dick in your pants when it comes to Kat. Hell you'll be better off just not talking around her since you'll be dumb enough to decide you want her and then you'll hurt Ere, then you'll bounce back to Ere and hurt Kat, and so forth and so forth, maybe even toss in some Granny action in between.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just continues to stare. "You confuse the absolute piss out of me."
<Terra> "Of course I bloody well do, I'm not giving up Em's 'secret', not like it's very secret by now."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Until you get a few cocktails in ya. Then we know you're just evil.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...Em's not gay Terra. I've told you like a thousand times.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're talking about yourself, Shiva. Oh, wait, they just make you more devilish.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina orders more drinks, giving a man who passes her a smile as he checks her out
<Terra> "... wait what? Someone said she was?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva pauses then thinks. 1"See, narcisstic?
<Ariel> Em> "...okay, now I'm fricken confused."
<Xanatos> *Marcus sighs and just shakes his head.
<Terra> "... psychic."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope decides instead of being confused, he'll be comatosed.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I know. I was just being stupid. You know, for fun and entertainment.
<Terra> "... ah."
<Terra> "Anyway, apparently it's not a surefire way to know other people."
<Ariel> Em> "...that was a secret?"
<Terra> "It was once?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel.
* Xanatos sighs and shakes his head. "It's funny. Everyone thinks that since Kat is back, that i'll be jumping over myself to try and get with her again. And hell, she is the love of my life, I should be, right? But what have I been doing? Spending time with Erevis. Sitting here talking to you..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's okay. I think it's cute.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I keep saying it's one of endearing qualities.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions for both glasses to be filled he then hands them both to him. 1"Drink both.,"
<Seraphna> "Sorry just... I'm startign to get this odd feeling I'm going to be very alone soon... and it frightens me."
* Ariel closes her eyes, laying back against the roof.
<Xanatos> I'll drink one. You drink the other.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's because you're probably getting too much of my feelings in you.
<Terra> "I just wonder what it's like."
<Seraphna> "...No... no it's not you Darien... if anything the bond seems to help... it always has..."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I bet it'd be sweet, reading people's minds like that.
<Terra> "Mmm..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, you asked two questions
<Xanatos> Keeping count....well you asked two questions before and I only made you drink once.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Tough shit, you snooze you lose.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, if you say so. 6He smirks at her.
<Xanatos> But i've got my information from you. I don't even have to drink anymore.
<Ariel> Em> "It's more complicated than that... people keep expecting me to fly because I can move things with my mind."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You sure you got it all?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh man, flying would be so awesome.
<Terra> "Heh, I'd love that..."
<Ariel> Em> "Buy a plane ticket."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hardy har har. You're funny.
<Terra> "I have to fly myself, not have someone else do it. I guess that just means buy a shuttle though."
* Xanatos drinks one of the cups. "Good thing this stuff tastes so good."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waves her hand, talking with Shiva. "So, then, I had to cut this hair. I can't see how her head stays straight."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That cup was actually filled with urine.
<Ariel> Em> "Rent one? Make a glider? As someone to lend you one? Lots of options..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just laughs, taking a drink.
<Xanatos> No wonder is was just so delicious. *he stands up* Thanks man. Think i'll go for a bit of a walk, maybe straiten some stuff out.
* Seraphna smirks back softly, "I will say this though, I'm going to miss having such an interesting pilot."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fat chance at that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm really boring.
<Terra> "Renting one is too temporary... unless I'm getting paid for it."
<Xanatos> Yeah i'm really going to go find some bushes to hide behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drums his hands on the edge of the roof. "You know what you need Sera? Alcohol."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Keep your hands out of your pants.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hell, i'd be happy to just walk right now. You know?
* Ariel glances at Darien, "You try hard to be, you know."
<Terra> ".. yeah."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... What? Boring?
<Xanatos> I'll do that. *he turns and walks off, throwing up a hand* Later.
<Seraphna> "...He tries and fails, I can see why you like him so much Mother."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Men can be such morons sometimes...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So have you decided where you're going from here?
<Terra> "I still need to decide what to do with my life from this point on."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We'll see. I figure things should calm down before I decide. After all, the government and military is pretty much gone.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait!? What's this? I can stand! *he goes to stand and then winces, plopping back down* Ok...I lied.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You should be ruler than.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No thanks. I'm not egotistic enough like you, dear.
* Ariel nods.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yet.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So I try to be hard. 6He sounds confused.
<DeathStar> (be bored)
<DeathStar> (be boring)
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm too sweet, I'm afraid.
<Seraphna> "...Yep. Though the suggestion of getting drunk sounds fun."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> A shame, I like a girl with a naughty side.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good.
* Xanatos plops down on a bench, leaning his head back to look up at the sky.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you flirting with me 10 mins after we're reunited, Shiva? 6She asks, putting a hand to her chest .
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't move. Clearly he had no intention of getting drunk. It's hard to decide if the man even drinks.
Session Close: Thu Jul 05 00:00:00 2007
Session Start: Thu Jul 05 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just smiles and takes another drink
<Ariel> "So Darien... what are your plans for the immediate future?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Gee, you blow up a single battle station and everyone asks you that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know. I still want to see how things settle here.
<Seraphna> "...Well... I'm following you till you descide you need to run off again." *pouts a little*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't run. I fly.
* Ariel shakes her head. "I ment, more immediate than that."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well since i've had my barrell of laughs. I'll be seeing you girls. *he begins to roll himself for the door*
<Terra> "Seeyou."
<Seraphna> "...I think Mom wants a date."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel. "More immediate than that? ... I... like today?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Sera.
* Seraphna grins at him almost teasingly.
* Ariel glances at Sera, then looks back at Darien. "Yes. Like the next day or two."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Be good Terra, don't go breakin some poor boys heart. *He seems serious as he rolls out, closing the door behind him*
<Terra> "... I could?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, probably put my feelers on out the government and miiltary situation. In fact, I should probably get back to that. You two have fun. And get drunk. 6He waves and steps off the edge of the roof.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Of course! *his muffled voice can be heard through the door*
* Seraphna blinks and watches him.
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien pulls out a device and slides down the hospital wall, landing on the ground.
* Ariel shakes her head, ammused.
<Seraphna> <...Wh-what the hell was that?>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just gives a knowing smell and salutes to the roof.
<Chad`Winters> 6Moments later a diaper drops, aiming for Darien's head
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps back, eyeing it hit the ground. Well played. He walks off.
* Seraphna looks to Ariel. "...So... hi..."
* Terra sighs. "If I could even get that close to anyone..."
<Ariel> Em> *looks questioningly at Terra*
<Ariel> "...yes Sera. I believe we passed the greeting phase of things for today." *might have made a joke*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Enough banter. Would you care to dance? 6She holds out her hand
* Seraphna blushes a little.
<Seraphna> "...I... We... We've never really... gotten around to talking... have we..."
<Ariel> "Not often."
<Terra> "I just... do you have anyone so close to you that you couldn't leave them for a relationship?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes Shiva's hand. "I would be honored." 6She says in a mock serious voice.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva leans Kat out onto the dance floor and begins shaking her groove thing.
<Terra> "Not that it's really that for me."
<Seraphna> "...I... I don't suppose I'm one to really be... that is... I'm sorry..."
<Ariel> Em> "...everyone close to me is dead or in a coma, actually."
<Terra> "... yeah, sorry."
<Ariel> "...I'm not certain what you just said."
<Ariel> Em> *shakes her head* "It's okay... I'm just glad he's not dead too."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina dances around, sliding around behind Shiva as they move along the dance floor.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva leans back against Kat, she slides her hands along Kat's side
<Terra> "Same..."
* Seraphna sighs and looks down, "...I'm nervous..."
* Ariel nods slowly, sitting up. "Yes... I gathered."
<DeathStar> 6* The fates, taking pity on Xanatos, have Erevis walk by, wearing another Japanese kimono.
<Ariel> Em> "So what were you saying about a situation that doesn't actually apply to you in the first place?"
* Xanatos watches Erevis walk by, "Shouldn't you be someplace eating Turkey?"
<Terra> "Oh, I don't get in relationships because... I don't know... it almost feels like cheating..."
<Seraphna> "...I'm not sure where to even begin..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have already finished celebrating the slaughtering of Native Americans by British colonists.
<Ariel> Em> "Cheating?"
<Xanatos> Wonderful. How was it?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sleepy.
<Terra> "I have someone I'm close to, but they're... not really the boyfriend type."
<Xanatos> Ohh? You musta had an extra helping of the turkey then.
<Ariel> Em> "...oh?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps so.
<Ariel> "Start any place you'd like."
<Terra> "It's kindof embarrassing, because... umm... he's not even human..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts an arm around Shiva's waist as they dance, smiling at the looks the two are getting.
<Seraphna> "...I'm sorry... for... well... I guess the Dragoon War... to start...'
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet. "Mind if I walk you home?" He pauses, "Or where ever you're going."
<Ariel> Em> "Well... that's not so unusual these days. Erusian? Something more exotic?"
* Terra looks VERY embarrassed. "... exotic."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to follow me, you may do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along.
<Ariel> Em> "Oh?"
<Xanatos> *Marcus wheels himself out to the garden and sits himself under a tree, he smiles and relaxes a bit.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just smiles wickedly back. She slides her hand around her waist.
<DeathStar> 6* The tree plots his death
<Terra> "Well... he was... umm... the first being I ever really got to know intimately... not in that way... but..."
* Xanatos moves after her, catching up to walk beside her. "No, following is a bad thing. I wish to walk alongside you."
* Terra almost looks like she's choking on her own embarrassment
<Ariel> 6* Em listens curiously.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well?
* Terra mumbles a name
<Ariel> Em> "...huh?"
<Terra> "... Strife. It's... nothing sexual, but... he's been the only thing keeping me going sometimes."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves in closer to Shiva, moving her body to the rhythym.
* Seraphna looks at Ariel.
* Terra looks like she's going to die of embarrassment
<Xanatos> So. I've noticed you're wearing another Kimono. It's nice.
<Ariel> Em> "...you've got a crush on... your hand?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva leans her head in, resting it against Kat's forehead.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Arigato.
* Seraphna looks down, sighing.
<Terra> "... he's not just my hand, but... yeah."
* Xanatos blinks. "My mom is a what??"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is what?
<Xanatos> Arigato...you said something about my mom...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I said Thank you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your mom is named Thank You?
* Ariel hesitates, "It... was war..." She closes her eyes. She doesn't like to think of the amount of family she lost there.
<Seraphna> "...I'm sorry I've been such a poor daughter..."
<Ariel> Em> *is at a loss for words*
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "I...guess...not." He frowns. "Looks like I got my translation mixed up."
<Terra> "... I'm some sort of freak, aren't I?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches his eyes narrow, and she steps back, turning to walk along again.
<Ariel> Em> "I... I guess it's not quite as bad as it sounds... I mean... it is sentient, right?"
<Terra> "Yeah... smarter than Xan, after all." *is only half-joking*
<Ariel> Em> "That's a step in the right direction at least."
<Ariel> Strife> *is insulted that people might think it's dumber than Xan*
<Terra> "Yeah. It's not like I'm in love with a jar of goo or something."
* Xanatos hops along to catch back up. "I feel like some stupid people are calling me stupid right now. Is that weird?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just eyes him
<Ariel> Em> "...the very fact you thought that up freaks me out some."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the place that Dias is at, sitting down beside him. "You said you desired to challenge me again."
<Terra> "I don't know where that came from."
* Seraphna looks down, it's clear there's a lot she wants to apologise and make up for. "...When we first met on PAX station... I had no clue... about any of this..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And have you come to accept my challenge?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She says seriously.
* Xanatos stares.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, motioning for another bottle of sake. He cracks his neck.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there calmly, like a warrior going into battle.
<Ariel> "None of us did. Much has happened since then."
<Terra> "Thanks for not being freaked out or anything, anyway."
<Chad`Winters> Dias shakes his hands as he loosens himself up. His eyes remaining focused on Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks right back at him
<Terra> "Well, except at the jar thing."
<Ariel> Em> "Honestly, with how screwed up things are... I guess I shouldn't be surprised."
* Seraphna sits, opening and closing her mouth for a bit, trying to find words.
* Xanatos just stands there, glancing between the two.
<Terra> "Yeah.."
<Chad`Winters> Dias slowly pulls his hand back, if anyone knew him, it's look like he was about to challenge Erevis to a real fight.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts, her hand being pulled back as well.
* Xanatos tenses up, if Dias hits her he's prepared to beat the shit out of him.
<DeathStar> 6* The camera focuses on Erevis face; then Dias' face; then Erevis' face; then Dias' face
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> GO! 6He throws his fist forward, then drops it down onto the palm of his other hand, his hand forming a scissors.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks her hand out, forming a straight hand that looks like paper.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Scissors beats Paper. 6He moves his hand forward making a cutting motion to her hand.
<Seraphna> "Mom... I just wanna be a part of the family. THat's all... I guess..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, looking upset that she was defeated
* Xanatos damn near falls. "Wow..." He shakes his head at the two.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Loser pays...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just crosses his arms now.
* Ariel nods, "...you've isolated yourself more than any of the others."
* Seraphna nods, that's an understatement.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks insulted. "Very well. I will honor your rules." 6She reaches her hand toward her chest.
<Seraphna> "...What do I do? I've tried everything to attone... I..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just begins to smile as if he's been waiting all day for this.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "NO, now wait a minute. You's better not be making her show you her breasts for losing."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns looking at Xanatos then at Erevis. 1"Is he drunk?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls out some tickets, looking at Xanatos.
* Xanatos blinks. "I..." He sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis clears her throat oddly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes the tickets. 1"I bet he's drunk. Sniff his breathe."
<Xanatos> You're the one who bought me the sake you idiot.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos Durran, please stand on one leg and touch your nose. 6She orders.
* Ariel has quit IRC (windows.esper.net cosmos.esper.net)
* Xanatos glances at Erevis. "Why?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wish to see if you are drunk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't drag me into this.
<Xanatos> But maybe I don't want to show you if I am drunk.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is drunk. 6She tells Dias, using her superior tone.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's barely noon and he's already drunk? How distasteful.
<Xanatos> I'm not drunk. *he notes*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't look as if she believes him.
* Ariel has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Terra> "At least we won't be seperated."
* Xanatos eyes her, then rises to one foot and touches his nose.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll tell you what Ere, even though you lost...6He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a pair of chopsticks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos with great interest.
<Xanatos> There. I can do it, therefor I am not drunk. *he lowers his foot back down*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I stand conceded.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the chopsticks, tilts her head. "Am I eating sushi?"
<Ariel> Em> "...there is that..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Drunk people can still touch their nose. Ask him to recite the alphabet backwards.
<Xanatos> I couldn't do that sober.
<Ariel> "Until you believe you stop needing to be thought of as the victim, it will be difficult..."
* Terra nods understandingly
<Chad`Winters> Dias sighs then moves behind Erevis and sticks one through her hair. He then begins doing her hair into a small ball with a pony tail still coming out of it. He then locks it in place with the other chop stick
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You can do that with chopsticks?
* Seraphna sighs softly, "...Mom... I don't quite get it... I... I come off that way...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Lovely little things, they are. 6He eyes the tickets, sniffing them briefly
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks in a mirror with curiousity.
* Xanatos eyes Dias for a moment. "I'm impressed that you can fix hair so well...yet another trait to add to the gay list."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You should be creative with your hair, try new ways.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Dias has a happy list?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Apparently a very long one. 6He sips his tea.
<Xanatos> A few pages full.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been told that. I simply do not understand the need to change hair.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well do you like what I did?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Yes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than that's why theirs a need to change your hair style now and then.
* Xanatos rubs his chin, watching Dias convince Erevis to change her hair.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Tea? 6He offers her his cup.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head and takes the tea, sipping it.
<Seraphna> "...I guess I'm looking for guidance..."
<Terra> "So, what are you planning to do?"
<Ariel> "I am honestly not sure what advice to give you... you always seek acceptance, but never accept it when it's offered."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And? 6He looks at her.
* Xanatos glances to Erevis, interested as well.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is very good.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drinks it more, taking small sips.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6See's her take his tea and just orders another for himself
<Seraphna> "...I may just... be a little too dim to see the acceptance..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> They have so many new tastes here...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Seraphna> "...It's so hard to see it... when things often get so lonely."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So, Erevis, I think we should go on a date.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A date?
<DeathStar> 6* She glances up
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> a date.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes and glances at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> To further enjoy the city.
<Ariel> "That's a paradox, Sera. Of your own creation."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "I agree. Where shall we go?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We could go look at historical part of the city.
* Seraphna nods. "...So... I need to learn to accept things as they are, and see the friends I have."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> The spot with the temples.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. When shall we do this 'date'?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I need to freshen up, how bout in an hour?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
* Xanatos clenches his jaw and stands, he turns and walks off.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks at Xanatos leaving.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Xanatos leaving he looks at Erevis. 1"What's up with him?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. Does he not wish to go on a date with us?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Apparently not.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, as if considering that.
<Seraphna> "...Mom?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up then bows to Erevis. 1"In an hour."
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns the bow - seriously.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks off.
<Ariel> "Hmm?"
* Seraphna moves close rand hugs her
* Ariel returns the hug uncertainly. "...try not to fall in with the wrong crowd again."
<DeathStar> 6* Some thugs eye Sera from the street.
<DeathStar> -END-
* Seraphna was on a rooftop?
<DeathStar> Yes, and they are still eyeing you
<DeathStar> They want you in their gang

<DeathStar> Location: Xevil's Ultra Badass Fortress
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps her arm around Aya's shoulder as the team moves through
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly looks up a the giant pillar hangin above him, he then looks at John. 1"You son of a bitch..."
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Dias. "WHAT?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Michiru, giving her a small smile. "You realize that I should discipline you for coming back against my wishes."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know...It just felt appropriate. 6He slowly stands up stumbling forward.
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, well, if you did everything you felt was appropriate, certain 16 year olds would be PREGNANT
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If I recall correctly, you taught me.
<DeathStar> <John> I would never.
* Seraphna looks at Zephyr and smiles softly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait...Why would she be pregnant?
<DeathStar> <John> Because you like the natural feel.
* Junior leans against a wall, coughing horsely into his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* John jerks. "Holy shit, they left the old man here."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh yeah John. We know you're here.
* Alicia is now known as Michiru
<Michiru> "I couldn't stay behind..."
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6Shoves Dias off the edge of the fortress.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flaps his hands as he falls over, disappearing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns toward Junior, giving him a nod. "What will you do now?"
* Seraphna blinks over at John and Dias, and suddenly looks concerned.
<DeathStar> 6* The tears continue to shrink slowly.
* Junior wipes a bloody hand off onto his coat after he finishes coughing. He looks over to Erevis with a slight smile. "Well..." he looks back off to the horizon. "It's hard to say. What's left to do?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. You are welcome to remain this period, if you feel you should not return with the others. 6She motions at the closing tear, sealing the timelines off.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes sliding back onto their floor from the doorway, he bends over panting, sweat dripping off his face. 1"You...You dick."
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, hi. Where'd you go?
* Seraphna ruffles Aya's hair a bit reassuringly and sits down, recovering.
<Junior> I can't do that... but then again, I can't go there, either, really.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Apparenlty someone wanted me to see fall...6He stands upright, his hands on his hips as he tries to control his breathing.
* Junior looks past Erevis glancing to Michiru, he looks back to her, "I guess you have that base covered, though."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Michiru, then at Junior. "Yes."
<Michiru> <Michiru> "I want to stay with my family..."
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs Michiru in a bear hug. "That's my girl."
* Michiru hugs back
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to Zephyr then falls into her arms. 1"I...think I need mouth to mouth...
* Seraphna watches quietly, fixing her dissheleved cloak.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Disa, then drops him.
* Junior watches, closing his eyes slowly as he laughs weakly. "I better get going."
* Seraphna eyes Dias too.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the ground with a thud. He just rolls over and looks up at Zephyr.
<Michiru> "... it would feel strange, leaving the people I know... but... do they need me?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *says that*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps up to Junior, then puts an arm around him to help him toward the tear.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya punts Dias.
* Junior pushes himself off the wall, stumbling as he catches his balance, heading for the tear. "I'm almost sad I didn't get to know you better." he says as she helps him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jolts upright, his hand grabbing his crotch. 1"Good....show Aya." 6He gives her a thumbs up.
* Seraphna shakes her head at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Time is finite. You should use your remaining time wisely. Perhaps see with your own eyes what you saved. 6She stops at the tear.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... you mean... we're going to disappear?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just let me know when you're ready for the monkies and the chimpanzee talk.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Uh..right..
<Junior> It's only saved until the next big threat, Erevis. *he stops, looking down at her* The fighting never stops.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Oh, right."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Everything ends eventually.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias finally stands up. He looks over at Serena. 1"So...Post Evil Emperor Victory sex?"
<Junior> Mm, maybe.
<DeathStar> 6* Junior leans on Michiru to eye Dias. "Pssst, watch this kid."
* Michiru looks at Junior
* Seraphna sighs and looks at him, crossing her arms a bit before pulling out her notepad, writing something and handing him the paper.
<DeathStar> *John
<Chad`Winters> Dias turns the paper upside down, reading it
* Junior blinks at John's impression of him. "I would never say that."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *laughs*
<Seraphna> "When you figure out who I'm waiting for, come talk to me."
<DeathStar> <John> Or would you?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You mean it's not me?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head at John, then turns to look at Junior.
* Seraphna blinks, but doesn't shake her head, she stands up and looks away.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm offended. 6He throws the paper away hmpfing
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "You know, I think the other universe is in good hands. Strange hands, true, but..."
* Junior looks back to Erevis, reaching up and putting a hand on her cheek. "I guess you already know what I would say at a moment like this... so I'll just... well, take my leave."
* Seraphna looks at him in confusion, then points, puts her hand down, and sighs in furstration.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Kyouki. 1"What the hell are you talking about?! Do you ever talk normal?!
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "No, I don't!"
<DeathStar> * Erevis nods once. "I know."
* Seraphna walks away a bit, another piece of paper hits Dias in the head.
* Junior nods back, stepping through the tear.
<Chad`Winters> Dias moves to say something then blinks. He looks around then eyes the paper opening it. He turns it sideways then frowns, turning it upside down to read
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back, and the tear begins to close - when suddenly, a large Dark Ship, unlike any other, flies by the tower into the tear.
<DeathStar> 6* John stumbles, his eyes widening. "What. The. FUCK?"
<Seraphna> "Of course it's you dumbass."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Xevil survived?"
* Seraphna having walked away a bit, eyes the ship passing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's not Xevil. That was the Dark Ones
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns away before he can finish reading and he looks at it. 1"How....How the hell did that thing fit in such a small tear?!
<DeathStar> 6* The tear seals.
<DeathStar> <John> ...I don't know. But I pity those past people.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... well... maybe that's some relief..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks grim, and somehow doubts that very much
<DeathStar> -TIME SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.11.30
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "It's going to be tough for them. I almost wish I... no, maybe I shouldn't get involved in fighting off their Dark Ones..."
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* Darien, Cheryl, Seraphna, Ariel, Chad, and Warren stand before the ruins of an old base
<DeathStar> <Darien> So this is that Ragnorak base.
* Seraphna looks it over, rubbing her wrist unconciously. "...Yep."
<Chad`Winters> Remind me how you tricked me into coming here again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why did we want to come here again?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Doomsday weapon. Planet in danger. Yadda yadda.
<Seraphna> "...That and I wanted to know..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Chad`Winters> I could've swore I had a nice cup of tea to drink...6He just grumbles.
* Michiru is now known as Red_Fox
* Seraphna walks over to the entrance, looking about in interest.
<Ariel> "Even without a power source, I would be more comfortable knowing that thing no longer existed..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, if you want to go back, go back. But if your dearly deparated father's weapon somehow activates.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs at Chad, as if he can't be held responsible.
* Chad`Winters just grunts in response moving after Serena.
* Red_Fox was kicked by DeathStar (DeathStar)
* DeathStar sets mode: +b *!*@80-192-158-161.cable.ubr03.pres.blueyonder.co.uk
<Seraphna> <You think Wind will show up then?>
* DeathStar sets mode: -b *!*@80-192-158-161.cable.ubr03.pres.blueyonder.co.uk
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs, then eyes the two keypads behind a broken shelf.
* Seraphna puts her hand on one. "...Cheryl or Chad, either of you touch the other pad."
<DeathStar> <Warren> We should make this quick. The provisional government and military being set up didn't authorize this investigation
* Chad`Winters walks over to the other one. He rests his hand on the keypad.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors open
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. This looks promising.
* Seraphna nods, "...I'm heading down to where they kept Cheryl, you check out Ragnarok."
* Chad`Winters just grunts in response to Serena's ramblings.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine by me.
* Ariel glances at Darien, then starts towards the Ragnarok hangar.
<Chad`Winters> Just find me a terminal to hook into.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves along for the Ragnorak hanger as well.
* Seraphna heads down for the Dragoon facility.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, for reasons unknown, decides to follow Crazy Dragoon Girl.
* Chad`Winters moves beside Cheryl. He tosses two pills back as he walks with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along, not really going to a particular destination. She doesn't seem inclined to go far into the base.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the lights not working, so he pulls out a flashlight. "Always come prepared I say."
* Seraphna walks along down the hallways.
<Chad`Winters> How're things going? 6He glances at her briefly as they walk. His eyes returning to look around for a terminal or a room with computers
<Ariel> "Handy."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along, following Sera in the dark
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Apparantly I'm pregnant.
<Chad`Winters> I thought you were putting on some weight.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't be a dick, Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien comes up to the Ragnorak hanger doors, then glances at Ariel. "With the power off, I doubt these will open easily. Care to force your way in?"
* Chad`Winters just gives a half-baked smile. 1"How you taking that?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm jumping up and down with joy and baking cookies.
<Chad`Winters> I never knew you could cook.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Seraphna arrives in the facilities, where everything is intact. Warren sweeps the area for a crazy Alex
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It comes with being pregnant.
* Ariel grabs the edge of one of the doors, and gives it a tug. Seeing if it's just unpowered, or locked.
* Seraphna tests the lights in here.
<Chad`Winters> Apparently with every death is a birth then...
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel would be able to move it
<DeathStar> 6* The lights ignore Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks a dead terminal. "Here."
* Seraphna looks about for some sort of console then.
<DeathStar> * There's consoles.
<DeathStar> 6* They are dead.
<Chad`Winters> Excellent. 6He kneels down opening up panel below it and begins hooking in his datapad. 1"You talk to Zephyr recently?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. She seems preoccupied.
* Seraphna looks around about teh consoles to see what she needs to do to get thigns running again.
<DeathStar> 6* It would seem she can't activate the power in this area.
<Chad`Winters> Preparing for a funeral can do that to a person. 6He pulls out a small flashlight and places it in his mouth as he begins hooking up wires.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What funeral?
<Chad`Winters> Mine.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ha ha.
* Seraphna looks at Warren, "...Do you still happen to have that map?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. I managd to carry one on me during my battle where my clothes and weapons were destroyed.
* Ariel keeps pulling until there's enough room for Darien to easily fit through.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides through.
<Seraphna> "...SHot in the dark, do you remember anything about a power facility?"
* Chad`Winters grabs the flashlight from his mouth. 1"I'm dieing Cheryl." He slides back, choosing to remain seated as he tries to power up the terminal with his datapad
<DeathStar> <Warren> We were never in that area.
<DeathStar> 6* The terminal powers up, with the option to turn back on the power in the base
* Ariel moves in afterwards.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, eyeing the empty hanger. "Well, Ragnorak sure is impressive."
* Chad`Winters glances at her. 1"And god said let there be light." He turns the power onto the base.
<DeathStar> 6* The facility turns back on.
<Seraphna> "...Better then I thought, interesting." *she goes over to a console*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> When are you going to die?
* Ariel starts to investigate... looking for signs of if the mech was removed, destroyed, or never built.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans over the edge. "IF Ragnorak was here, it was removed a long time ago."
<DeathStar> <Darien> The dust in here is inches thick
<Chad`Winters> Don't know. 6He slowly stands up, grimacing slightly. He moves to the Terminal and begins typing away on it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Christ. 6She murmurs.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks around the facility, eyeing that most of the materials are gone now, unlike in the past.
<Ariel> "I'm hoping that it was never here... but there are other factors that must be considered."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Which factors?
* Seraphna looks about herself curiously as she boots up the console.
<DeathStar> 6* All the data is wiped.
<Chad`Winters> This base hasn't been used in 12 years....
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Sera's console. "Looks like someone beat you here."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That would put it about the time we were thrown back.
* Seraphna looks forlornely at the screen.
<Seraphna> "...No... this was my only damn lead..."
<Chad`Winters> Strange...6He begins typing on his datapad.
* Seraphna starts looking into data recovery.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances around. "There might still be DNA cultures here. I saw some when I was fighting Alex."
<Seraphna> "...Did they have any labels...?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Angela Bennet.
<Seraphna> "..."
* Seraphna stares forward.
<Seraphna> "...A-Angela Bennet...?"
<Ariel> "Phaeton was left in the past. He would have known about this place."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. Is your hearing malfuctioning?
<Seraphna> "...N-No... let's look."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. But when the timelines converged, wouldn't Phaeton have been erased?
<DeathStar> <Darien> After all, this base is intact, not destroyed.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods and begins to move through various sealed boxes.
* Seraphna gets up and looks around at what else is left here.
<Chad`Winters> They did a complete system wipe...6He scratches the back of his head. 1"How odd...Cran wouldn't have done this unless he deemed it so and since he didn't die till more recently...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We never found Phaeton.
<Ariel> "I do not believe so... there would be nothing to write him out of the timeline, so to speak."
<Chad`Winters> The only possible benefit from wiping this would have been to hide something...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "It is even possible Phaeton removed his other past self. And took his place. In that event, he could have taken Ragnorak 12 years ago."
* Seraphna moves through containers and other material. "...Something... anything..."
<DeathStar> <DArien> That, or Spade never died like Serena thought.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Here. Bennet. Angela. 6He holds up a sealed box.
<Ariel> "In either case, it implies that someone has Ragnarok."
* Seraphna runs over to him, inspecting the box, trying to figure out what it would hold.
<Chad`Winters> I'm beginning to doubt that Ragnarok is even here...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Indeed. But with Wind MIA, that thing would be useless.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. It isn't here. I got that impression from Ariel.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Cheryl. 1"I learn something new about you every time we meet."
<DeathStar> <Cherly> ... What?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chad.
<Chad`Winters> I never realized you even talked to Ariel with your network.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't talk persay, as much as I get impressions.
<Seraphna> <Darien, someone wiped the data from this place... but I found something...>
<Chad`Winters> I stand corrected then Cheryl. 6He scratches his chin now as he continues searching
<DeathStar> <Warren> So, are you pleased with your box?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel. "Someone also wiped the files that Sera was looking for."
* Seraphna sets it down on a table, looking to see how it's sealed.
<DeathStar> 6* A code key.
<Ariel> "That sounds more like Phaeton than Spade."
<Seraphna> "...A code..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Agreed.
* Seraphna tries to think of what it could be.
<Chad`Winters> Hmm...What's this? 6He begins typing on the terminal more now
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's what?
<Chad`Winters> There's a hidden file.....
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sounds mysterious.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the codekey, rolls his eyes, pulls out a gun, and shoots it.
<Seraphna> <A box, locked with a code.>
<DeathStar> 6* The box scrambles and pops open
<DeathStar> <Warren> There is your key.
<Seraphna> "...Hey!"
<Chad`Winters> I hear mysteries keep the soul alive. 6He access's it
* Seraphna looks inside.
<DeathStar> 6* There's DNA samples and a datapad inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the base begins to shake.
<Chad`Winters> Oh...Go figure...
* Seraphna blinks and closes the box, grabbing it, "...Let's go."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nice work, Chad
* Ariel just looks to Darien. Shaking base, never good.
<DeathStar> 6* Areas of the base begins to explore.
* Chad`Winters types on his datapad, downloading the file.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I think we found something good.
<Chad`Winters> You looked bored Cheryl, I was helping.
* Seraphna starts makingher way out with Warren and the box.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. I can't afford to be entertained like this!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs Ariel's arm and begins to slide back through the doors.
<Chad`Winters> You can't pay for this kind of entertainment. 6He eyes the download finish then disconnects his datapad. 1"Let's go."
<DeathStar> 6* The entire base explodes minutes later
<DeathStar> -sCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* The hospital has begun to see less members of the old PAX these days. Except Pope. Pope remains in a coma.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to check herself out of the hospital.
* Marcus` is bandaged up, he leans against the counter by Zephyr. "Leavin already? It was the food wasn't it?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmm. 6She says nomcommital, as if she's not listening.
<Ariel> Em> *has been hanging around the hospital a lot... physically, she's not in bad shape. But she's been checking up on Pope a lot*
<Marcus`> Well. That was just rude. *he frowns, crossing his arms*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmm.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope opens his eyes, staring up at the ceiling.
<Ariel> Em> *blinkblinks, and rubs her eyes, figuring she fell asleep*
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... bloody 'ell, that bird shot me...
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "Yeah ignore me like i'm worthless....just like that."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmm--What? I'm sorry, where you saying something, Marcus? 6She glances up.
<Marcus`> No, nothing at all. Talking about birds and daisies. Professing my immortal love to you. You know, the usual.
<DeathStar> 6* Some ways from the hospital, on a beautiful hill with a view, is Junior. Being Junior.
<Ariel> Em> *jumps* "Pope!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's nice, Marcus. 6She gives him a smile that says she didn't hear a word.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Em? 6He glances at Em.
<Ariel> Em> "You're awake?"
* Marcus` frowns. "You can do anything, but don't ignore me. That really gets under my skin."
<DeathStar> <Pope> I bloody better be, with this headache
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry, I have a lot on my mind. What were you saying again? 6She walks along from the checkin.
<DeathStar> 6* Someone sits down beside Junior.
* Marcus` moves along with her. "Nothing really important. The stuff on your mind, anything I can do to help alleviate some of it?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits at another outdoor eating place wearing his hooded sweatshirt and gloves. Next to him is Aya in a booster chair bundled up for the weather. He slides a small bowl of ramen infront of her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Now kid, this is the stuff that'll make you grow up strong.
<Ariel> Em> *smiles, and hugs Pope* "You took a nasty hit back there... I'm glad you're alright. You've been asleep a long time..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No, I'm afraid not.
<DeathStar> <Pope> You call that a nasty hit, luv? I think that crazy mechanic woman blew me head off.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope touches the scar that's on his face.
* Marcus` frowns. "That's a shame." he looks ahead. "Oh, I forgot to thank you, by the way. You once again saved my life."
<Ariel> Em> ...that's about as nasty as it gets, Pope.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Which time?
<Marcus`> I dunno really. I lost count after like 10. You know, ran out of fingers an all.
* Junior glances over to.... someone
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at him. "Hey you. Where have you been this last week?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's no problem. So, plan to go back to being a waiteR?
<Junior> You know me. Places like this, mostly.
<DeathStar> <Pope> When I get my hands on that git.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ah. I hear you've gotten some turkey visits lately. 6She says, her tone baring no real jealousy.
<Junior> You've been paying attention.
* Marcus` rubs his jaw casually. "I really have no idea."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah.
* Junior glances over at her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I hear that the government is being set up here in Tokyo since the old capital is a danger zone from the Tsivrixsh attacks on it. Pretty much having to rebuild the government and military.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Give me knocks kid. 6He holds his fist out towards Aya
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs a piece of grass, holding it in her fingers.
<Ariel> Em> Hey... hold off on the killing until you're better, okay?
<Marcus`> Really? That's pretty wild. You going to stick around or are you gonna go back to your family? *he glances at her*
<Junior> What have you been doing up until now?
<DeathStar> <Pope> I'm bloody fine! Watch. 6He goes to sit up, then fals back
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Putting in applications with the new government that's getting set up. Been partying with friends. You know..
<Ariel> Em> *telekinetically holds Pope down* "You're not fine. You can't even sit up."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya punches Dias in the nose, then beams.
<Junior> Hm. I see.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just blinks, wiggling his nose. 1"That's cold kid...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not sure. The government requested to see me later.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *Sighs* I've been worried about you, too.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Pish posh.
<DeathStar> <Pope> I just need a bloody cigar.
* Junior looks over to her, his long, unkept hair moving out of his eyes. "Why?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Ice! 6She quirps.
<Marcus`> Oh? *he glances at her* I was thinking about trying to become a counselor or something. I can be immature at times, but with the right training, I believe I could really help some people. Maybe if you stick around, we'll get to hang out some.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Eat your ramen before it get's cold.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because I care about you, you lug head. 6Her voice rises. "You think I stopped caring about you?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We'll see.
<DeathStar> <Aya> No.
<Junior> No, but I knew you didn't want to go through everything.
* Marcus` glances ahead again. "...wonder what they're wanting to see you about."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya steals Dias' sake.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmm, not sure.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And what does that mean?
<Chad`Winters> Dias snatches the sake before she can take it. He downs it and slides it away. 1"Zephyr would be mad if you had that.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya begins to wail loudly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You want a toy?
<DeathStar> 6* People stare at Dias.
* Marcus` glances down at the ground, before looking up again. "The...something on your mind. It wouldn't happen to be Chad, would it?"
<Ariel> Em> *flops* You're hopeless.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She nods.
<DeathStar> <Pope> I'm hardheaded.
<Junior> It means, there's a reason I didn't follow everyone to this world.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Aya, eat some of your ramen and I'll take you to the toy store.
* Marcus` nods once again. "I figured." He sighs lightly. "I'm really sorry about that. Wish there was something I could do."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And why is that?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stops wailing and eyes Dias.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr It's just...so hard to believe he's dying.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shovels some ramen noodles into his mouth, he turns and looks at her as he slurps it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya wrinkles her nose.
<Ariel> Em> ...that's an understatement. Thankfully.
<Marcus`> Wait, he's dying? I thought it was because he was stalking you...*he goes quiet for a moment* Well...that's even worse I guess. Sorry about that too.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She eyes Dias.
<DeathStar> *Marcus
<Junior> Kat, we both know it ended because neither of us could bear our differences. It would have been painful watching you grow old--you may not have known, but I kept up-to-date on you after we fell apart.
* Marcus` frowns. "...Yeah, really sorry. I should get my facts in order before I go spouting off." He looks down and scratches the back of his head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes, I know it didn't work out. 6She stands up, turning to face Junior. "But that's no reason not to have been reborn here."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Look, I gotta go. The meeting and all. 6She turns and walks off.
* Junior throws his arms over his knees, sitting up and looking back to her.
* Marcus` stops and frowns, watching her walk off. "...see you."
* Marcus` turns and walks off in the opposite direction.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I wanna pony!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Eat all your ramen and I'll get you a pony.
<DeathStar> <Pope> You have a fag on you, luv?
<Junior> It's partly I didn't want to have this conversation. The other part is... well. *he smiles softly* One life is enough.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Pony fwist.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Food first.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Pony!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Food.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ah. One life is enough. 6She runs her hand through her red hair.
<Junior> It's all I could ask for.
<Chad`Winters> Dias finishes his bowl of ramen and turns to look at Aya. 1"The longer it takes you, the less ponies we can pick out.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Fair enough. Then why come back here?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya doesn't budge.
<Ariel> Em> *shakes her head* "Didn't smoke, last I checked."
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... *looks weak and pale suddenly*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Guess I'll just call the pony shop and tell them to close early. 6He reaches for his phone.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya watches him, like the perfect negotiator.
<Ariel> Em> "...I can see if I can dig one up. Your lungs are fine, right?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Momma be bad if I don't eat!
<Junior> You won't like my answer.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll take the chance.
<Junior> To protect you from Wind.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yes she will be mad, so you better eat. 6He begins thumbing through his phone list.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina laughs a bit. "From Wind? I would be dead still if it wasn't for him."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Me tell her you didn't feed me! 6She nods.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Aya then pulls out a picture of food infront of Aya. 1"Lies."
<Junior> And if he had his way, you'd be exactly what he wanted--and not at all what you would be if fate had it's way.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 1 bite and pony..?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 4 big bites.
<Ariel> Em> *pauses* "...I'm glad you're alright."
<DeathStar> <Aya> 2 bites.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 5 bites.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Thanks, luv. 6He smiles.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Thwee!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Six and that's my final offer.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya crosses her arms, refusing to budge.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Me know numbahs! Shiva told me!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think that's why you didn't want a second life. You were afraid of what Wind would do.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Aya then just smiles. 1"That explains your shrewd ability to negotiate. 3 big bites and you'll get your pony."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya eats three bites.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> High five. 6He holds his hand up.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya high five his nose.
<Junior> There are reasons, and then there are main reasons.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're aim sucks, you know that?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why don't you just give me the REAL reasons.
* Junior loooks back to Kat, "Everything else was a reason."
* Junior stands, turning to Kat, towering over her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> *looks sad*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up defiantly.
<Junior> But if you want the real reason? Above everything else?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We'll have to work on it someday. Let's go kid. 6He leans down by her so she can climb onto his shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I do.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya climbs up on him.
<Junior> I didn't want you in my life anymore. I care about you, but I couldn't bear another lifetime, repeating the past.
* Junior turns, walking away.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't want to repeat the past, Junior.
<Ariel> Em> *seems lost in thought... she has no idea what to say now. She's just... happy*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm happy with who I am here.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses money down then turns, heading out. He flips his phone open and calls someone.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope eyes what appears to be jello. He sighs and misses his cigs.
* Junior says nothing, his back turned as he walks away.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So that's it? You're going to walk away and die alone? 6She crosses her arms.
* Junior looks over his shoulder. "I'm not alone. You shouldn't be so arrogant about your own existence. You may be happy with who you are, but you're not the Katrina I knew, even if you have her memories." he says through bared teeth, walking away.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What color kid? 6He looks up at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances back out at the view after he's gone. "That's why we didn't stay together, Junior. Nothing to do with age."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and the others arrive back near the capital, having escaped the base of doom
* Chad`Winters sits beside Cheryl, he stares down at his datapad as he looks at the file he copied
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we got that meeting to attend to. 6He tells Chad and Ariel and Warren.
* Seraphna looks up curiously.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You got a memo to attend some meeting, Sera.
* Chad`Winters looks up slowly at Darien. 1"Explain."
<Seraphna> <Oh... right.>
<DeathStar> <Darien> It seems the governments wants to see Cheryl, Sera, and myself.
* Seraphna is staring at a datapad.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... *Crosses his arms*
* Chad`Winters looks over at Cheryl then Serena, he looks at Ariel. 1"What about Ariel?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm, they didn't say anything about her.
* Ariel looks curious at that. But she nods. Not questioning it
<Chad`Winters> This can only be about a very select few things then...
<DeathStar> <Darien> I imagine it's about the rebuilding government and military.
<Chad`Winters> I doubt it. 6He looks back down at his datapad
<Seraphna> <So it's real... I'm Angela...>
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, that's why you fail so much, Chad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Curious they didn't ask for you, too, Chad. I can't think of why they wouldn't want you in the new military.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to walk off.
<Chad`Winters> Which is why I don't believe it's all about rebuilding the government and the military.
* Seraphna sighs and follows after Darien.
<DeathStar> <Warren> They know already, Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pats Chad on the shoulder, then moves off.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren then nods to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns, walking off in the opposite direction already.
<Seraphna> "...Sorry I didn't get to tell you earlier Cheryl, things were a bit of a flurry."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's fine.
* Chad`Winters stands up, he looks up into the sky.
* Seraphna gives her a soft smile and walks on.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along and waves at Cassandra adn Setsuna, who are outside the capital building. "Well, I'm not surprised to see you here, Arakawa."
<Cassandra`> And why is that?
* Seraphna gets a good look at Cass. "...Nice new look there."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, look who they have assembled here.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr walks up next, eyeing everyone present.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "So anyone know exactly what this is all about?"
* Chad`Winters turns, moving off. Making his way to a park
* Seraphna just gives Zeph a quiet nod of greeting before averting her attention respectfully.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I imagine we're about to find out.
<Cassandra`> Unless you're implying this is a Japanese thing?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks toward the building itself, glancing back as they walk along. "No. As you know, the old capital is in ruins. They're still trying to save people from it. I think the government decided to change locale to here."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Which means the military will be moved here as well. And what do we all have in common?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> All of us are girls except you?
<Seraphna> "...We're all ranked military members."
<DeathStar> 6* Darienk winks at Sera.
<Seraphna> "...Probably the few surviving."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Maybe he's hiding something from us. You know the stories about Ariel..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not this again. She is not a lesbian!
<Seraphna> "...She's not a les..." *stops as Zeph says it louder*
<DeathStar> <Darien> What a lovely day.
<Cassandra`> Why do we still hang out with them, Setsuna>
<Cassandra`> ?
* Chad`Winters sits down on a bench and pulls his datapad back out. He opens the file he found earlier.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm insulted you lump me with them.
<DeathStar> 6* The file just says "Sucker".
* Chad`Winters just stares at it
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, I hear Myria was invited back to the Erusian Ascendency. Think she'll go?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "No one else is crazy enough to hang around us?"
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien steps inside the building, moving through the red carpet hallways and telling the receptionist who all is there.
* Seraphna sticks with Darien.
* Cassandra` heads on inside.
<DeathStar> <Receptonist> Of course, I will tell the President you're here. 6She moves off
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The President? Are you serious?
<DeathStar> 6* She returns. "He will see General Starr first." 6* Darien waves at them and moves off to the back.
* Seraphna sits back in a chair and waits.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down, unconsciously patting her stomach
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr paces.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, uh, Cassandra, how'd you get, well, human?
<Cassandra`> Xevil. Phenomenal cosmic power.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. ... You like it?
<Cassandra`> Feels funny.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Lighter? 6Motions at the chest.
* Seraphna giggles mutely
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Non-adjustable." *frowns*
<Cassandra`> No...everything feels weird.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... eeee.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs a lunch, wearing what appears to be a volunteer outfit. She seems to have found a place with turkey.
* Junior walks by, his hands stuffed in his pockets.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up, waving at Junior. "Hello!"
* Junior blinks, walking over to Erevis. "You seem chipper today."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I found this resturant. Sandwich? 6She offers.
<Junior> Haha, you seem happy with it it all to yourself. I'm not really hungry, anyawy.
<Xanatos> Probably still full from all the turkey you fed him the other day. *he says, coming round a corner*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. 6She nods, taking another bite, chewing, and swallowing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, wondering how Xanatos knew.
* Junior eyes Xanatos, too. "Spying, no doubt."
<Xanatos> Oh you know it. They didn't call me A-number one stalker for nothing. *he smiles at Erevis* Hey.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Xanatos, then her eyes narrow just a bit.
<Junior> I'm just surprised we didn't smell your stench.
* Xanatos blinks and tilts his head. "Oh I finally bathed." He says, not looking from Erevis.
<Junior> Just get lost, Xanatos. Seriously. If you hate me so much just go away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts in her seat. "So, is KAtrina well?" 6She asks Xanatos pleasantly.
* Xanatos blinks and glances at Junior. "Wow. Since when was me showing up about you? Talk about a drama queen." He glances back at Erevis again. "Umm, she's a pleasant as ever I guess."
* Junior glances to Erevis at the mentioning of Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, saying nothing more.
* Xanatos arches a brow, "Anyway, I finally found out this god forsaken city actually has a turkey place. I just happened to hear you two talking as I was walking up. You know...I can hear."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing, playing with her food.
<Junior> You wouldn't have known that from what was said before you came.
<Xanatos> Maybe I was lurking just a bit. *he notes with a smirk*
* Junior glares.
* Junior sits at the table with Erevis, deciding to tune him out from here on.
<Xanatos> Oh no. *he fakes fear* I've angered him. Seriously man, chill out some.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eats another bit of her sandwich. "Humans." 6She shakes her head.
<Xanatos> Can't live with em. *he sits down*
* Junior leers over to Xan. "Half the shit you pulled when we were fighting nearly got people killes. You're no fan of mine, the only reason I didn't neutralize you during all that was because you were a good distraction. I have no reason to tolerate you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes them both warily, wondering if this will end with them beating each other up on her turkey, or will they just be civilized.
<Junior> *killed
* Xanatos eyes Junior. "Half the shit I pulled? I'm sorry, did I get in the way of your coughing and hacking? Actually I was the one getting KILLED for everyone else, or did you miss that part?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes sliding to a stop with Aya on his shoulder, he's panting.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hands Dias some turkey.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Wun! Wun!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think we lost them Aya...6He looks over at the Turkey. 1"Oooh, don't mind if I do Ere." 6He grabs it, handing Aya half of it.
<Junior> Stupidity can easily be mistaken for bravery.
<Xanatos> Yeah, you're making me feel all horrible. Satisfied? Jesus. *he glances up at Dias* Yo.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis clears her throat. "Do you two intend to keep this up all day? I find it rather primitive."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly freezes solid as several snorts can be heard behind them.
* Xanatos tenses up and eyes Dias. His eyes flick to Erevis. "I'm quite done."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Just out of curiousity guys...There isn't 4 ponies behind me are there? 6He waves his hands as if talking theoritically
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good. Eat. 6She puts some turkey in his mouth
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, Dias.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Wun! WUUUUN!
* Xanatos chews it and seems to relax as soon at it is in his mouth. "God this is good turkey." He says in a mumble.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ....Fuck. 6He suddenly starts running seconds later 4 ponies come chasing after him, each one painted a different color
* Junior stands, shaking his head.
<Junior> I'll see you later, Erevis. I guess.
* Junior steps out, walking off.
* Xanatos swallows it and then looks at Erevis again. "I'm really sorry about Kat, Erevis. When she told you about what Sera did...it was completely in Spite."
* Junior stops.
* Junior looks over his shoulder, "She did what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, rubbing her throat. "It was nothing of importance."
* Xanatos glances up. "Yeah, nothing to concern yourself with."
* Junior narrows his eyes.
* Junior walks away.
* Xanatos glances at Erevis again. "...you alright?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... One moment. 6She stands and follows after Junior.
* Xanatos nods and eyes her Turkey as she sits it down to go after Junior.
<DeathStar> 6* The turkey wiggles.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "Must...resist..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps up beside Junior. "... is everything ... well?" 6She asks, clearly not wanting to pry, but sensing that Xan just added to a dark mood already present.
* Junior walks, ajusting his coat as a cold wind blows while he moves down the street. He glances to Erevis, "I'm fine. I just didn't want to be more 'primitive' than I needed to be."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not like him. 6She notes.
<Junior> He's shallow.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Junior just looks at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is conflicted over many emotions. I accept this about him.
<Junior> Maybe. I can't really affort much patience in this twilight, though.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. 6She studies him, but doesn't offer to help with the pain she feels radiating from him. "You do not."
* Junior sighs. "I really wish I could explain--if even to myself--what I'm even doing here. I've come to a world that has no place for me, dying, and opened up old wounds for the people I wanted to forget me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Katrina is ... .... 'strong'. You should not worry about your presence's affect on her. You did a good thing, stopping Wind. I appreciate your efforts. But I understand your need not to burden anyone.
<Junior> I seemed to be the only one set on stopping him. Who am I to tell him he can't do something if the very people at stake didn't stand up to him?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They do not know him, like we do. He seems like a savior, when the forces are overwhelming. But Wind will not change. His goals will not deviate.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The power's hold on him is far too great.
* Junior coughs hard into his hand, stumbling as he walks. "And I'm not even going to last until the end."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. You will not.
* Junior smiles weakly over to Erevis. "At least you're worth being patient with. You won't even lie to me to make me feel better."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lying is dishonorable, even when it's for a good reason.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands on her tiptoes, and gives Junior's shoulder a pat. "May you find peace, Junior Hianule."
* Junior closes his eyes. "You know, right now is the first moment where I wished I had more time..." he stands still for a moment as his head hangs before he collapses onto the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks down at him, giving him a sad smile.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien Starr steps out, glancing at the others in the office.
* Seraphna looks up at him. <How'd it go...? You were very closed...>
<Cassandra`> So? What was it about?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmm. 6CAssandra's name is called. "I think they're going to ask you for the position I turned down. I took ... something else."
<Cassandra`> Alright. *heads inside*
* Seraphna blinks a bit in confusion.
<Seraphna> <DS...?>
<Seraphna> "...Darien...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Gotta love job interviews..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is led to a man behind a desk. "Please, sit. I'm President Talon."
<Seraphna> "...You're getting hard to feel lately... what's going on...?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nothing. We'll talk after they've spoken with you
<Cassandra`> Mr. President. *sits down*
* Seraphna looks down, "...Alright..."
<DeathStar> <President Talon> As you probably know, our military and government is in shambles after the Tsivrixsh occupation.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his chin, moving to admire a painting of a garden
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Sera.
<Cassandra`> Yes, sir.
* Seraphna sits uneasily, she never really liked being out of the loop. She sighs and takes out the datapad, looking at it again.
<DeathStar> <President Talon> We've reviewed your records and you're highly qualified, after serving under so many people. ... I want to ask you to become General over all our military ground forces. We need someone to help rebuild it.
<Cassandra`> General, sir?
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Indeed. You will be the commander over all the ground forces.
<DeathStar> 6* The President eyes Cassandra break down
* Seraphna looks up at Cheryl, and gives her the oddest of looks, before looking back down and closing her eyes.
<Cassandra`> I am...overwhelmed, sir.
<DeathStar> <President Talon> I understand. Do you want the position, Captain?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr asks Setsuna to teach her how to ninja stab
<Cassandra`> Yes, sir.
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Wonderful! 6He stands up and holds out his hand. "Everything will be worked up and we'll hold meeting beginning next week."
<Cassandra`> Thank you, sir. *takes his hand*
<DeathStar> 6* After they shake hands, Cassandra is led out by the clerk
* Seraphna looks over the datapad again, turning it off.
<DeathStar> <Receptionist> Serena Cran. 6She motions.
* Seraphna cringes at her own name and stands, steping up.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *frowns... she expected to get called after Cass. Oh well. She looks to Cassandra* "So what was it about?
<DeathStar> 6* The President waits on Sera, holding out a hand to greet her. "Welcome."
* Seraphna takes the hand gently and smiles, without even opening her mouth, she pipes up, "...Thank you sir."
<Cassandra`> I just got promoted...
<DeathStar> 6* The President sits down, motioning for her to sit.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Above captain?"
* Seraphna sits down and maintains her smile.
<DeathStar> <President Talon> As you know, Janus was completely decimated after all the events leading up to the occupation and, of course, the actual occupation.
<Cassandra`> General of the army...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Holeeeee shit.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's wonderful, Cassandra.
* Seraphna nods softly, "...Yes sir."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *stares*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...yeah. That's a step up."
<DeathStar> <President Talon> I would like to see Janus further incorporated into the army than before. I want it to lead the military research, development, weapon building. I want to restore the great armada we once had - better than ever. And I've seen your designs. I want you to head the new Janus with the rank of General. You will singehandedly help me to restore our fleets and weapons and armies so we can defend our planet from another Xevil
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns, smiling at Cass. "Well, General. I guess I should be saluting you."
<Cassandra`> What did you get, ummm...I'm not sure what to call you anymore? *looks at Darien*
<Seraphna> "...To build the wall to keep out the barbarians... alright sir."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I requested the assignment to be commander of the PAX 3 Station being built. It seems Earth is going to build another peace station, in the middle of all the empires. A real effort this time.
<DeathStar> <President Talon> You don't sound as enthusastic as I expected. 6He leans back. "I thought you enjoyed building."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Seriously? Not as just a coverup scam, this time?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> It would see that way. It won't even be in Earth territory.
<Cassandra`> That's great.
* Seraphna smiles softly and nods, "...I do sir. I guess I'm just a little tired... and overwhelmed."
<DeathStar> <President Talon> I can understand. But I have to know that you're behind this. The new military needs loyal people. We can't have past incidents repeat themselves."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course, it means a kick in the rank and power department, but I was never interested in power. Plus, being out in deep space, I might learn things.
<Seraphna> "...Then I need to ask a simple question sir... if I may?"
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Please do so.
<Seraphna> "...Am I building these weapons to defend our world, or dominate other worlds?"
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Earth is about a peace and defense, not only for ourselves, but everyone.
* Seraphna smiles broadly, "...Welcome words sir."
<DeathStar> <President Talon> I'm glad to hear that.
<Seraphna> "...If I may ask, how did you feel about my father?"
<Cassandra`> Maybe you can get Myria back. Wouldn't be Pax without at least one blue girl.
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Your father was a brilliant man. We needed men like him. But he was wrong about a lot of things. The Tsivrixsh, for example. Which, you know all to well. You lost family to them.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe the Erusians will sign onto the peace station and send her as a diplomat. That would be amusing.
* Seraphna nods grimly.
<Seraphna> "...Sir, you can trust I am loyal to the success and prosperity of Earth."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Her? A diplomat? THAT I'd have to see."
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Good. But we need more than. Many people could say that. What we need is loyality to the government. OR else you'll have more incidents like the past.
* Seraphna smiles softly, "...The government is the people, and the people are Earth."
<Seraphna> "...So I am loyal to the government."
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Wonderful. Then I hope you can bring honor to Janus again, Miss. Cran.
<DeathStar> 6* He holds out his hand.
* Seraphna nods a little, taking his hand. "...May I speak off the record sir?"
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Of course.
<Seraphna> "...I'm not quite sure how long the name Cran will last. I have some investigating to do and if I could recieve some help it would be appreciated."
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Of course. I plan to be setting up a special ops division soon. I'll be sure ot have it's commander aid you
* Seraphna smiles. "...Thank you sir. I'll begin excavating Janus' resources as soon as possible."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches the ambulance drive off, glancing back at Xanatos.
* Xanatos sits there, he tilts his head. "...he ok?" crumbs can be seen on his cheek and her turkey is missing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He will be dead in a few hours.
<Xanatos> Oh. You ok with that?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is a great person. ... I ... am very sad to know that the world will lose him. And I found him to be a very... straightforward person. But I believe this is what he wishes, so I will not be sad for him, but instead, happy.
* Skylar has joined #taw
* Xanatos nods. "Instead of mourning death. We should celebrate the life they led and the things they did."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe you will be celebrating his passage. 6She notes.
<DeathStar> *passing
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Skylar is now known as Seraphna
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<Xanatos> Probably not. No.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... That is too bad. I must go now. 6She turns, giving one last look toward the ambulance.
<Xanatos> ...volunteering somewhere?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They need aid in rescuing people from the capital. There are many traps still there. With my abilities, I thought I could be of service.
<Xanatos> Really? *he perks up* Think they could use my help? I don't have anything else to do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you desire to do so.
* Xanatos stands up and smiles. "Sure thing. After all the pain i've caused, it'll be nice to do good for a change." He pulls up a turkey sandwich. "I felt guily for eating the rest of yours. So I bought you another one."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... We should not be sleepy for this mission. Sleepiness is our enemy.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out to Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Seraphna. "So, you need 'help'."
* Seraphna looks back at her. "...Yes..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr runs her hand through her hair. "Tomorrow, then. I have an appointment to meet Chad and Aya in the park." 6She turns to go.
* Ariel looks to Cheryl, "How did it go?"
* Seraphna smiles. "...Have fun."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I've been made Admiral of the entire armada, it seems.
* Ariel just blinks.
* Seraphna looks over at Cheryl and Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grunts like Warren would and turns to go.
<Seraphna> "...And I'm building it!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I feel safe and secure flying it now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hurries off to the park.
<Seraphna> "...Well I hope so, with the amount of shuttles I've made you've walked away from... ...after trashing them..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks over to stand by Seraphna.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I sure do like trying to trash them, too
* Seraphna looks over at him. "...Good. So what job did you take?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I decided to be commander of the station PAX 3. IT seems Earth is going another try at peace. The Tsivrixsh have already signed on.
<Seraphna> "...That's good... I hope I'm building it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think you'll be busy with the fleet.
* Cassandra` has left #taw
<Seraphna> "...Yeah I guess..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, Ariel, you plan to stay with the military? I'm sure they'd love to offer you a job if they knew you wanted to stay.
<Seraphna> "...Do we have to part ways here though? I'd like to think the militart could work with the diplomats, for once."
<DeathStar> <DArien> I think they hired every kid of yours they could get.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You'll be on Earth, Sera, not deep space.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives her a smile. "But it's a good job. You'll make Earth proud."
* Seraphna smiles softly and sighs mutely. "...I just hope I can make up for the mistakes of the past..."
<Ariel> "A job with the military..." *hesitates* "I don't know... I need to check in on other things before I even consider it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien punches her shoulder. "You'll do fine."
* Seraphna smiles softly. "...Can I ask one thing from you?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> What's that?
<Seraphna> "...Don't break it. Who knows if we need it again... but I don't plan on taking another pilot anytime soon."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien goes to respond when someone hurries up and talks in Cheryl's ear.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Ariel's eyes, and it's unmistakenable that it's terrible, terrible news.
* Ariel hesitates, eyeing Cheryl, then Darien. "...what is it?"
* Seraphna looks at him, her eyes losing some light. "...What is it...?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They finally got a ship outto the dragoon colony. There's ... been casualities.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A lot.
* Seraphna stares blankly, "...Wh-What's a lot?"
<Ariel> "...how many?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't have an exact number. But I think we should get out there.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I got a ship we could take.
<Seraphna> "...I'm coming."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, moving off to get the ship ready.
* Ariel just heads after Darien.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks up on Chad and Aya at the park.
* Chad`Winters sits infront of Aya, playing, not noticing Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey you two.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cups her hands together as she approaches.
* Chad`Winters turns to see Zephyr. 1"Hey...Didn't even hear you come up..." He pauses wondering how he missed it
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sneaky. 6She kneels, eyeing Aya's pony.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah...Apparently Dias brocured a deal...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That Dias.
<Chad`Winters> He probably did it just to cause us grief...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can believe it. ... They made me General of Special Ops.
<Chad`Winters> Really? 6He looks at her, his head tilted. 1"Congratulations."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thanks.
* Chad`Winters blinks several times as he looks at her. Several fingers on his right hand twitching.
<Chad`Winters> When do you start?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Immediately. Warren says he'll help me structure the division
* Junior has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Chad`Winters> Hahaa..Interesting indeed. 6Chad moves to stand up then falls back down to his knees.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are you okay...?
<Chad`Winters> I...No I don't think so...6He suddenly falls forward, his body convulsing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chad? CHAD! 6She screams, her eyes widening in panic as she hurries over to him.
* Chad`Winters 's muscles suddenly tense up causing him to curl into a ball, his mouth opens, but nothing comes out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> SOMEONE HELP US! 6She screams out into the park
