<DeathStar> Stardate: Month 1, Week 2
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan - Earth
<DeathStar> 6* A military officer sits in Chad's living room. "We would like you to join the new military, Mr. Winters."
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
* Chad`Winters steps out of the kitchen, a cup of tea in his hand. 1"I see..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands around a Japanese fountain.
<Chad`Winters> What department?
* Seraphna sits nearby Darien, in civilian clothes.
<DeathStar> <Military Officer> General Zephyr would like you to be in the Special Ops Division.
<Chad`Winters> I see...6He moves over and takes a seat across from them. 1"Doing what exactly?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tell me, Sera. What do you see when you look at this fountain?
<DeathStar> <Military Officer> That you would need to hear from the General herself.
<Seraphna> <A clever device to channel water. And a bit of therapy to stare at...>
<Chad`Winters> Tell the General that I will accept.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs. "That's something I'd expect from Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* The military officer nods, standing up and holding out his hand.
* Chad`Winters just nods to the man. 1"Have her send me the details later."
<Seraphna> 
<DeathStar> 6* The man drops his hand, nods, and steps out, closing the door behind him. Aya crawls out from under a futon
* Chad`Winters narrows his eyes over at Aya. 1"You didn't steal his wallet did you?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, if you see a clever device to channel water, I can hardly argue. 6He notes with a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks innocent.
* Chad`Winters hold his hand out towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya high fives it
<Seraphna> <What I see... is myself... constantly flowing, never exactly the same at any moment... travelling in a cycle.>
* Chad`Winters just lets out a laugh. 1"You're too cute, you know that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "Why do you think you travel in a cycle?"
<Chad`Winters> Should we goto the park today?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya makes a face. It IS snowing outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands around the park, in the snow. Because she likes snow.
<Seraphna> 
<Chad`Winters> I thought you liked snow. 6He leans forwards towards her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Uncle Dee is gamblin'!
* Seraphna walks over to the fountain, pointing out a little ebb that seems to be swirling and going against the flow.
<Seraphna> <...There's always a part of me like this... wanting to go another way.>
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see.
* Dias` has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Dias` is now known as Chad`Winters
<Chad`Winters> He's always gambling.
* Seraphna sighs mutely. <I... don't know why exactly I took the job. I suppose it's me wanting to create the forcfes that protect people I care about again...>
<DeathStar> <Aya> Me gam-le!
<Chad`Winters> No, you're not old enough to gamble.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And if you end up not liking what the government does? Will you break your oath of loyality to them?
* Junior has quit IRC (Quit: )
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pouts.
<Seraphna> <I'll do what's right. But that's a question of the moment...>
<Chad`Winters> When you're 18 you can gamble all you want.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's always been a problem for you, Sera. 6He smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya crawls under the futon
* Chad`Winters set's his tea down on the table and he plops down onto the floor by the futon.
<Seraphna> <True... always has. But loyalties... it's always been torn for me. Friends on every side...>
<Seraphna> <Spade... the young one... asked me what side I was really on...>
<DeathStar> <Darien> Your own, right?
* Seraphna nods
<DeathStar> <Darien> What a lonely place that must be
<Seraphna> <Very.>
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peeks at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cups his hands together. "Well, try not to betray yourself then. Then you'd have no one."
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Seraphna> 
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just offers a smile, then steps out into the snow.
<Seraphna> <Darien...?>
<DeathStar> <Darien> YeS?
<Seraphna> <Who's side are you on?>
<DeathStar> <Darien> The PAX, of course.
<Seraphna> <Mmm... may I ask a simple question?>
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course.
<Seraphna> <Why are there sides here?>
<Seraphna> <Don't we all eventually want war to end?>
<DeathStar> <Darien> Because, 6He smiles as he speaks to her, "Everyone has beliefs and methods. Because, people are so different."
<Seraphna> <It seems silly to me... we should all be working together...>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just smiles.
<Seraphna> <Darien?>
* Seraphna smiles softly to him, a bit of sorrow in her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Our methods differ, Sera. That's because we're different people.
* Chad`Winters has joined #taw
<Seraphna> <...You're still my friend Darien... probably the closest I've had in some time besides... her...>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes sliding along the snow covered pathway on a sled.
* Chad`Winters covers his face with his hand, hiding from Aya
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles. "We'll always be friends, Sera. Just because we don't see eye to eye won't change that."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at him oddly.
<Seraphna> <There's the thing... I don't know what we don't see eye to eye on...?>
* Chad`Winters slowly pulls his hand down to peer at Aya, his face contorted to make a funny face
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' sled slams into the fountain the two are talking by.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe one day you'll understand. When you understand that there always two sides to every conflict. To every act. To every scene.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Dias, then Sera.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' head just wobbles around in a daze
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pokes him in the face.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hello, Dias.
* Chad`Winters opens his mouth and moves to lightly bite her finger.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya cries.
* Seraphna sighs mutely, <I...>
* Chad`Winters makes a sad face. 1"I'm sorry..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shakes his head then looks over at Darien. 1"Hey Santa."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Here's the perfect example. Katrina and Erevis. Are either right? Are either wrong? They both want the common good, but they don't do it together.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Dias oddly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Kat's got a nicer rack. 6He stands up off his sled and picks it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya quits crying, then bites him back.
* Seraphna looks around at Dias and arches a brow at him.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They look identical.
* Chad`Winters just drops his jaw and looks at Aya. 1"Ho ho ho.."6He reaches his hand at her gut and begins ticklign her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nah, Erevis' are bigger but Kat's are much firmer, hence nicer.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Have you groped both to find out?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings the Sled over his shoulder. 1"No, I've seen Erevis' and Kat, well she wears tight clothing.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You won't know until you feel.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans over the fountain. 1"Oooh, money." 6He sticks his hand in and begins fishing out money.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So simple. 6He motions at Dias and glances at Sera.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What is? 6He glances at Darien
* Seraphna smiles a lottle, looking at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The fountain.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh. 6He looks at Sera. 1"So you dike out with any other woman lately?
<Seraphna> "...I still prefer men, actually."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But it's hotter when there woman? 6He looks at her confused.
<Seraphna> "...Could be."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Dias.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Do we need to bring that up again, Dias?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I prefer my woman, 18 and female.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, eyes Sera, then Dias oddly. As if trying to picture Dias wanting Sera
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well you were asking me how I knew Erevis' boobs. I was going to ask her what she thought of them.
* Seraphna looks away from Dias and glowers, looking oddly dissapointed.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Sera again. 1"So did you think they were softer or perkier?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds out the sled. "Maybe you should go, Dias. Find another hill."
* Seraphna blushes a bit and looks down, notably she hasn't aged a day since her 18th birthday, she sighs.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You know, it's rude to interupt someone's conversation Darien.
* Seraphna looks around at Dias in that usual disbelief of his words.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly makes an odd face as he digs his right hand about.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs. Sera can handle this, he thinks
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> All I know, is I'm glad they doctors learned that Chad wasn't a zombie.
<Seraphna> "...Don't know, Zombies can be mighty tricky."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Zombies scare the crap ou...Ewww...6He suddenly shakes his right nad
<Chad`Winters> NRP: HAH! NAD!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Dias shaking his nad.
* Chad`Winters stare at Darien with a What? look.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien decides to go meditate somewhere else.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pockets the what credits he could gather.
<Seraphna> <We'll talk later I guess...>
* Alicia has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Seraphna> "...So what are you going to do Dias...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Buy myself some icecream. Why?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya, meanwhile, escapes outside into the snow, with Chad's money. She plans to gamble.
<Seraphna> "...I meant with your future."
* Alicia has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Alicia
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well that is in my future...6He looks at her oddly
<Seraphna> "...Farther out then your next snack..." *rubs her temple*
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, being 1 year old, Aya begins to sink in snow.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Brothel? 6He eyes her as if he's under pressure from the quizing
<Seraphna> "Do you have a job?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Last I checked I'm still enlisted.
<Chad`Winters> 6A Hand grabs Aya and pulls her out of the snow.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya whimpers and shivers
<Seraphna> "...Did you get assigned?"
* Chad`Winters pulls off his hacket and wraps Aya up in it. He hugs her tightly. 1"Silly girl."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hugs Chad's face
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs. 1"I haven't been to the apartment for about a week and a half.
<Chad`Winters> That's my face Aya...
<Seraphna> "...Why?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya holds on
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I've been hunting for wierd things to make Erevis eat...That and I enjoy sleeping outside.
<Seraphna> "...How's she doing...?"
<DeathStar> 6* People walk by as Aya holds Chad's face
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Perky.
* Chad`Winters sighs and begins walking back into the apartment
<Seraphna> "...So... well, or are you talking about your last grope?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Perky.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya wonders how chad can see, then realizes he can see through objects
* Chad`Winters shifts Aya around so she's sitting on hi shoulder
* Seraphna nods gently. "...And how are you holding up?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> By being stronger than gravity.
<Seraphna> "...Emotionally."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uhh...Normal...why?
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<Seraphna> "...Just curious..."
* Seraphna looks down at the water.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Silly question..
<Seraphna> "...Hey Dias...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, just Dias.
* Seraphna sighs in frustration.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snuffles his nose then sticks his finger in it.
* Seraphna stands and turns away.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What? 6He looks at her as he slowly pulls his finger out.
<Seraphna> "...For once I thought we were having an actual conversation."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We weren't? I thought all exchanges of words were considered conversations.
<Seraphna> "...Sorry... I just..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts the sled down so it's on his foot. He then lifts his foot and begins balancing it infront of him
* Seraphna turns and looks at him, "...I... that is... damnit..." *she seems to trail off*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You wanna fuck don't ya?
* Seraphna stares at him. "...I-If I ever did that again I'd want it to be with someone who... well... will be there, will care."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Why are you stuttering?"
<Seraphna> "...B-Because...." *she looks down at her feet*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides his hands in his pockets as he balances the sled on his foot. He hops, kickign it up and shifting his other foot to catch it
* Seraphna turns away again. "...I-It's just too soon..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But you slept with Erepade not too long ago. 6He glances up at the sky, the sled balancing about on his foot
<Seraphna> "...I also killed Spade not too long ago."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I thought Junior did.
<Seraphna> "...He lived on, and I killed him in the Past."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias bends his knee slightly then hops up, flipping the sled around fully and recatching it
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I doubt it Granny, you don't have the heart to kill.
* Seraphna looks around at him, tears falling down her cheeks.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well Granny, my stomachs screaming for some icecream.
<Seraphna> "...Ice cream sounds good..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It is. 6He flicks his foot and the sled drops down on the ground. 1"Well granny, I'm off to find some good japanese icecream.
<Seraphna> "...Mind... if I come with?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I suppose...6He sighs to himself, unable to make a grandeose exit. He bends over and grabs the string for the sled and starts walking.
* Seraphna walks after him.

<DeathStar> Month 1, Week 3 - 1 Day After Dias Fell From a Tree
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis calmly grabs her bag of belongings while in her hotel room.
<Xanatos> * A knock can be heard at Erevis' door.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The door is unlocked.
* Xanatos opens the door. "May I come in?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up, clearly uneasy right off the bat. "If you wish." 6She turns back to her bag.
<Xanatos> Hmmm, it doesn't seem that you want me here though. *he says, sliding the door closed behind him*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am busy getting ready to leave.
<Xanatos> I wont take much of your time. I've been doing alotta thinking, so much, infact that my head hurts. And i've come to two conclusions. And please don't be upset, but this is what I believe, and it's always been said that you value honesty.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face him slowly. "Very well."
<Xanatos> One. *he holds up one finger* To live among the humans fully you cannot shut of certain emotions. You see, living, is not easy. It's a very difficult thing, and yet you said you shut off some of those feelings. That's taking the easy way out, and I believe you are stronger than that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Xanatos> And two. *he holds up his second finger* You are afraid. I don't fully know just what, but I believe it may have something to do with that mission under Darien. If so, well...your fear is very understandable, but I know there has to be somehow that I can show you that you don't have to be afraid. Now I understand that I may rock. In fact, I probably am. But I sat up all night trying to figure out just how I can get you to stay, or
<Xanatos> at least let me come along with you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing, staring at him with her sharp green eyes. "I am not human. I do not see the need to pretend to be otherwise."
<Xanatos> Shiva isn't human. Does that mean she should go around distancing herself from those that love her, shutting off emotions simply because they are human-like?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Shiva revels in using emotions to hurt others. Should I do the same? 6She asks, her tone rising.
<Xanatos> If you wish then sure. Everyone is different, but just because you're not a human, doesn't mean that you still can't feel.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not confuse this body with who I use to be.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This body is the one with emotions.
<Xanatos> Is that what you think? Do you still hold on to the fact that you were a god. That gods don't feel?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "I was no God."
<Xanatos> Then I don't get it, please help me understand. Why are you running away from this? Sure, you may not originally have had such emotions, but I know you're feeling them now. Why run?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis circles Xanatos slowly. "Because if I felt everything that you humans did, I would go insane. Do you recall how we first met? I attempted to force the entire team to my will. My anger burns through my body like a hot sun and sometimes I feel the urge to reach out and break whatever causes it. And I do not want to be that way."
* Xanatos slowly follows her with his head. "Anger? What are you angery about?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I hate this body. 6She says softly, turning to look out the window. "I hate it. I could not feel things before, yes. I could not feel wind on my face, or the heat of a sun on my skin, but I also feel it decaying all around me. And it scares me. And knowing that I can be hurt so easily, that scares me more. And so I get angry at my weaknesses."
<Xanatos> That's the beauty of life, that's what makes it all worth fighting for. Life is so precious and so short that we should make every single moment the best that it could possibly be. I understand your fears. And I understand your anger too. The thought of being too weak to protect someone pisses me off right well. But I use that anger, to work harder, get stronger. I...can't make you love being human...I wish I could.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing.
<Xanatos> You told me something. You said if I wanted something I should take it. Well here I am. I want you, and while I would never try to force you to do something, you must at least see that i'm not completely wrong here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, I am afraid of love. But it is you who assumes that I have a desire to feel such an emotion. 6* Erevis grabs her bag quickly.
<Xanatos> Then just say it. Tell me you do not love me, nor could you ever love me. Because i'm stupid, and I wont get it unless you just flatout tell me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him, gripping her bag, which seems to be shaking. "Move aside."
<Xanatos> Tell me. *he says, not moving* I wont move until then. Please.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises her hand, shifting it to so Xan goes slamming into a wall. "Do not think you are strong enough to stop me."
<Xanatos> You are strong. *he says after grunting from the force of being slammed* But do you think you could kill me?
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos drops to the floor as Erevis stands there. "I have no desire to be human. You may admire this body, but I do not. I do not desire to subject this body for others' pleasure. Go find a woman who will." 6She reaches for the front door.
* Xanatos reaches out to grab her hand. "Why the constant talk of 'no desire to be human'. I don't want you to be human, Erevis. I just want you to be yourself. And I don't want your body for my pleasure either. Love isn't just about sex. Love is a feeling, and believe me when I say that I could live the rest of my life without sex if it meant that you loved me back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans against the doorway, her body shaking from rage, or something else. "Why?"
<Xanatos> Why? When I look at you, I see the most caring and honorable person. I see a person that has such a strong desire to help others that she doesn't care to put herself in harms way. I see someone that doesn't just look down upon me, but looks at me like i'm a man. Where others see a monster, or a moron, you've always made me feel important. You're in my mind twenty four hours a day and I just can't help but want to be by your side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' keep her face hidden behind her long hair, which seems to flow about perfectly as a cover screen. She slowly turns and leans against the wall, sliding down into a sitting position on the floor.
* Xanatos slowly kneels down in front of her, not saying anything now, just waiting for her reply.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts her head up, reaching up and brushing her long hair away, showing her face again, which is neutral again. "Very well."
* Xanatos arches a brow. "Very well?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be with you. 6* Her eyes lift up to look right at him
* Xanatos seems to be in shock for a moment, he slowly pulls himself up to his feet, then extends his hands out toward her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not think my legs are working properly. 6She notes softly.
* Xanatos smiles, it seems his eyes are a little cloudy as well, he kneels down. "Here, let me help you up." He gently moves to lift her up in his arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans against his chest as he picks her up.
* Xanatos stands there for a moment, his eyes fall closed. "Thank you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...? 6She glances up at him in confusion.
<Xanatos> For giving me a chance, for letting me in. I will not betray that trust, I promise you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe you.
* Xanatos moves over and gently places her on her bed, he then sits down beside her. "I think you might be late..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I imagine that trip will be canceled.
<Xanatos> I'm sorry. *he says with a frown* I took longer than I expected. I honestly thought you would throw me out after I made my two points. *he notes with a half-smile*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I could have easily killed you and disposed of your body. 6She notes.
<Xanatos> I'm really glad you didn't. Then we woulda missed out on that very nice moment. *he glances at her, a smile on his face*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The nice moment of us arguing and me threatening you...?
<Xanatos> No, the nice moment where I got to hold you in my arms. *he leans his head back to look up at the ceiling* We could probably fight another trip. Or well, you could if you still don't want me to go.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will stay.
<Xanatos> I would ask if you are sure, but I know that you don't say anything without being completely sure first. *he lifts his hand up to brush her hair back behind her ear, letting his hand rest on her cheek*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is tense a moment, then relaxes right away. "When you asked me to live with you, after your station was destroyed, I was ... surprised." 6She says, looking up at the ceiling. "And as I got to know you, I wished you would care about me like you did Katrina McCormick. Even though it made no sense. I always assumed it was her memories that made me feel that way."
<Xanatos> I will admit, at first I took you in because I felt you were my responsibility. But the more I got to know you, the more I wanted to be around you. I know that our past has been a bit strained, but just sitting here beside you is making me happier than I ever have been before.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at him.
* Xanatos slowly pulls his hand back. "I hope you can forgive me for the terrible things I did. I was a misguided fool."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I hold no grudge.
* Xanatos smiles. "Thank you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why? Is it typical to hold grudges?
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, hold on
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why? Is it typical to hold grudges when people kill you?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies him very seriously.
<Xanatos> Well...yeah. *he admits*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well, I do not forigve you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets up as if she's going to leave.
<Xanatos> W-wait a minute!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns around and pokes his nose. "I fooled you."
* Xanatos blinks in shock and then starts laughing. "Oh wow, that's twice now. I've got some work to do if i'm going to get you back." He says with a smirk.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe you capable.
<Xanatos> Is that a challenge? *he stands up* Cause I love a good challenge.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
<Xanatos> Are you hungry? Cause I could really go for some Turkey now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I fail to see the joke."
* Xanatos glances down at his stomach as it growls. "Oh I wasn't joking. I'm hungry. But i'll be getting you back later, when you're least expecting it." he winks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But I will always expect it.
<Xanatos> Oh you'll lower your guard, then bam. You'll fall for a great joke.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you say so
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, her legs apparantly working again, and she cups her hands together behind her.
<Xanatos> So would you like to go get some sushi, or some turkey? Or maybe something else?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will allow you to decide.
<Xanatos> I choose Turkey everytime. *he notes* So if you don't wish to be sleepy, let me know.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is morning.
<Xanatos> Oh that's right...well, we can just find a nice place to get some breakfast then. *he smiles, and extends his arm so that she may lead the way*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, mentally pushing her bag to the side. "Um, there is one problem." 6She looks extremely embarrassed.
* Xanatos pauses. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The hotel thinks I'm leaving today.
<Xanatos> Ah, well if I'm not overstepping my boundaries, then you are more than welcome to stay with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes an odd noise, clearing her throat.
<Xanatos> Umm...or not. We can find you another place to stay after we eat then.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
* Xanatos smirks, and then motions for her to lead the way.

<Xanatos> Month 1 Week 3
<Xanatos> Location: Tokyo, Japan
* Xanatos is walking along the street, carefully crafting a snowball in his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along, having tried to take Dias' advice and do something with her hair - she's taken several strands and braided it, while keeping most of the rest it's typical length
* Xanatos glances at her. "I see you took Dias' advice."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. However, the process took too long to be useful.
<Xanatos> Well if it means anything, I think it looks nice. Besides, the more you do it, the better you'll get, and the quicker you can do it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you do not like how I normally have it? 6She asks, eyeing him
* Xanatos blinks. "I did not say that. Don't you go putting words into my mouth now."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware someone could put ... words into someone's mouth.
<Xanatos> Not literally, they can't. But just because I think your hair looks nice now, does not mean that I do not like it the other way either. By assuming that I do, you're essentially putting those words into my mouth."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I apologize.
* Xanatos smiles. "It's alright. I'm sure you weren't doing it on purpose."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods.
<Xanatos> Sooo. *he tosses the snowball up and then catches it, having used the heat of his body to melt the top layer of the ball, so it would freeze over and make a ice ball.* What are we going to do today?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You said you had something you desired to do. 6She notes sternly.
<Xanatos> I did? *he blinks and sighs* Brain damage...crappy memory, ok let me try to remember. *he sticks his hand out toward her, the one with the ice ball* Check it out. I turned snow into ice.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why do you want to carry ice? 6She asks slowly.
<Xanatos> Well I took your everyday, ordinary snow ball. And turned into a much more dangerous ice ball. Why I could hit someone very hard on the head with this.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be cruel. Why would you do that?
<Xanatos> Well...other than being mean? I dunno. I just think turning the snow into ice is fun, makes me think how interesting the elements are.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies him. "So you enjoy changing elements."
<Xanatos> If you want to call it that. I kinda do miss having that rune on my hand. To be able to do the things I could, bend the wind about...I really enjoyed that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You could always use a fan if you desire to bend the fan. 6She smiles at him.
* Xanatos smiles. "I guess i'll have to pick one up from the store, then." He tosses the ball up into the air again and then pauses, missing the ball, letting it crash to the ground. "Hmmm, that reminds me. I've got to be looking for a job soon."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mentally catches the ice ball before it lands completely, bringing it up to her outstretched hand. "What will you do?"
<Xanatos> I'm not sure. I could probably talk to Cheryl about getting a spot on the fleet. Though I believe she would probably just put me on some small ship to get me out of the way.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And you do not wish to be on a small ship. 6She guesses.
<Xanatos> Hmmm. I dunno. I was thinking of talking to Darien...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Xanatos, her green eyes running over his face. "You wish to work on the space station."
<Xanatos> It's just the idea of the PAX. Like...a real one, not some scam. It just kinda gives me some hope. *he glances at her* We really were doing some good, before well...before it all came crashing down.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I only have vague memories of the station. 6She notes, her tone showing what she does remember, she doesn't seem to enjoy.
<Xanatos> Yes, you never really got to be there during the good days. When we were making allies and really pulling the universe together as allies. You got the honor of seeing all the bad things.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was partially responsible for your bad times.
<Xanatos> That's the past now. I believe this new PAX, it'll really change things. Do alotta good.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I hope so.
<Xanatos> You and me both...you and me both. *he smirks at her amd then snaps his fingers* I remember.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to comment on why he repeated himself, then pauses. "You remember what?"
<Xanatos> Wait...no...I lost it. *he sighs and rubs his temples*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you need ... help?
<Xanatos> No...just having a moment. Oh I remember now *he smiles, glancing up in front of them.* Apparently my subconcious knew the whole time. We're going to go Christmas shopping. *He grins as he looks over the gigantic mall in front of them*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slows down. "We are...?"
<Xanatos> Well. I figured we might as well be nice enough. I was thinking of getting Chad a get well soon card, with a little piece of coal attached to it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She slumps a bit.
<Xanatos> What? Was this not what you had in mind?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I simply am not good at getting people items.
<Xanatos> It's really the thought that matters, not the item.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So, if I gave you something you did not want, it would not matter?
* Xanatos nods. "I was always raised that the gift was irrelevant. You should try to get what you think they would want, but if they might not want it, they should still be thankful that you bought them anything."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis still scowls. "It would be more productive to simply ask what they want. What do you want?" 6She asks Xanatos firmly.
<Xanatos> Well I already got what I wanted. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is that?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks confused.
<Xanatos> You. *he pokes her nose* That's more than I could ever ask for.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks once, then twice, then studies him. "So you think I am a Christmas gift...?"
* Xanatos frowns. "It was a figure of speech. I was essentially reffering that your love and affection was all the gift I need."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down, looking a bit uncomfortable. "But...I do not know how to show.... love and affection."
<Xanatos> We'll take it one day at a time. Anyway, let's change the subject. No sense in making you uncomfortable. What do you think we should get Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why do you ask me? 6She asks him, eyeing him oddly.
<Xanatos> Well i'm a guy, I stink at buying girl things.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And so you assume I would know what girls want.
<Xanatos> Well your a better girl than I could ever be. *he smirks*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks insulted.
* Xanatos pauses. "That wasn't supposed to insult you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Baby items.
<Xanatos> Huh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Women seem to enjoy getting gifts relating to babies when they are pregnant.
<Xanatos> Ohhh. *he nods* That's a pretty accurate observation. But...we don't really know if it'll be a boy or a girl, do we?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It---matters? 6She looks unsure of herself now.
<Xanatos> Well if we bought a dress...and it turned out to be a boy. That would be a bad thing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh....
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks blank now, clearly unsure of what to get Cheryl.
<Xanatos> Well i'm sure we could get her a shirt or something, like. World's Greatest Mom or something like that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. 6She nods.
<Xanatos> Or a coffee mug with that saying on it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Okay... 6She studies him, clearly wondering why he's making this more difficult.
<Xanatos> Oh this is going to be fun. *he gets a big smile on his face as he starts for the entrance*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him go, a dubious expression, but she follows
* Xanatos sits in the food court, sipping a soda as he glances over at their bags. "Well we're about half-way finished." He notes.

<DeathStar> Month 1, Week 3
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Apartment
* Chad`Winters steps out of the kitchen two cups of tea in his hands. He sets both down on the coffee table.
* Xan|Bebackat10 is now known as Xanatos
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to examining some of Chad's furniture, glancing over at him. She is the same as she ever was, not having used the genetics coding at all. "I'm surprised to hear that you're interested in joining Special Ops, Chad."
<Chad`Winters> If was the job they offered me when they decided to show up at my door.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're a hero. They had to offer you something. 6She sits down in his chair, taking the cup of tea.
* Chad`Winters looks over at her then just shakes his head. 1"I wouldn't go that far...No, they most likely chose your department because it had a better chance of getting me to say yes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course. But, you have a certain air of popularity behind you. They had to put you somewhere. 6She smiles, taking a sip of the tea.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Frankly, I think they'd all sigh in relief if you took a job off planet.
<Chad`Winters> You think I'm that nosey?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chad, I know you are.
* Chad`Winters looks at your then just shrugs, a smug look on his face. 1"I am."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And I know you're more than capable of doing work at the Special Ops, but why would you want to work there?"
<Chad`Winters> It was the only job they really offered me. And you know I can't stand not doing anything.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You could find work doing engineering somewhere. We have more departments than just Janus building stuff.
<Chad`Winters> And have to deal with an increased chance of running into Serena more often?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "At least you don't have to assign a team to suit her special needs."
<Chad`Winters> We both know she has a lot of special needs. 6He leans back as he scratches his chin.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a grunt sound like Warren would.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks along the sidewalk, his hands behind his head.
<Chad`Winters> Oh, you meant your special needs. I thought you enjoyed bossing people around?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't like having to assign teams so Sera can satisfied her perverse curiousity on who she is all the time. But I'm being ordered to do so.
<Chad`Winters> You were ordered to assign people, right?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You might wanna put your arms down, I can smell you all the way over here. *he says, sitting on a bench about 10 feet from Dias*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. I gave her a few people who seem eager to learn about Cran's dark, dity deeds.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks, stopping. He glances around, confused
<Chad`Winters> Really? You're a better person than me than. I would've assigned some people who were useless in that area.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess that's why I'm the head of the Special Ops division and not you.
<Xanatos> *Marcus watches Dias for a moment. "Come'on, start off with a crappy joke." He motions with his hand.
<Chad`Winters> What can I say? I have a strange sense of humor. 6He grabs his tea and takes a sip. 1"I still find it amusing that she's even putting stock in information that Phaeton gave her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns, eyeing Marcus. He blinks as he looks at him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I've looked over the documents she's collected. It seems pretty legit stuff. But it's still pointless, unless she plans to try to use psuedo-science to reverse what Cran did to her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I sorely doubt she wants to lose her powers.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just crosses his arms as he watches Dias more. "Oh, that's rich. Pretend you don't know me."
<Chad`Winters> The fact she's still bonded with Darien attests to that thought. It's Phaeton tho, and in theory, who had 15 years to set the documents up.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Phaeton would proably do a little dance if she removed her powers.
<Chad`Winters> I find it amusing that she hates the Cran name and everything with it, which happens to be Janus. Yet she's running it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finishes the tea, setting the cup down. "She'll betray us sooner or later."
<Chad`Winters> I'll be sure to start moving my shogi pieces now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh...it's just you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> All jokes aside, you sure you don't want to find some engineering job? I hear they're doing plans for the PAX 3 station.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ouch. I think that may have hurt a little.
<Chad`Winters> You seem intent on that, why? 6He looks at her, as if holding back his theories.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What hurt?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because I know you don't like this type of work.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Your words. I think I may be bleeding a little on the inside.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You should goto the doctor than.
<Chad`Winters> Not a lot I guess, but yet it also satisfies a part of me.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nah i'll be good. So what evil have you been into?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course. 6She says, giving him a teenager type smile.
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head, a slight smile on his lips. 1"What do you think of the President so far?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's classified.
<Chad`Winters> So opinions are classified now? 6He takes another sip of his tea, finishing it. "More?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No thank you. And only from you, Chad. I know how you think. 6She smiles again, leaning back. "What are your plans for Christmas next week?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Evil? I'm a boy scout. I don't do evil.
* Chad`Winters pauses, his face going blank briefly. 1"I haven't made any plans."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's a shame. I've already bought Aya her gifts. I included a few with your name on them."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You sold me to Billy. She's evil, and you sold me to her. That makes you evil.
<Chad`Winters> ...That's cold. I think I can buy my own daughter some gifts. 6He crosses his arms in self-defense.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You would spoil her because you would just buy everything you saw.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I sold you to her? 6He scratches his head.
<Chad`Winters> I wouldn't buy her a pony...6He grumbles slightly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think there's one outside anyway.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You see, the whole, pretending to forget thing. I don't buy that. I know you're not as stupid as you look. Though sometimes I admit, you're very convincing.
<Chad`Winters> Dias' doing mind you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> At least he gave her a Christmas gift.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins picking his knose. 1"Sure you didn't take a bullet to the brain?"
<Chad`Winters> We both know that wasn't a christmas gift.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're just jealous he out did you
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's possible. 10 bullets. One might have hit me in the ol noggin.
<Chad`Winters> Oh yeah, play that card. Now you're pushing me to out due the little brat.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly kicks Marcus in the crotch. 1"You should've taken more so Zephy took less..."
<Chad`Winters> You sure you're cut out for this Special Ops thing? I've already got you pegged.
* Xanatos gasps and doubles over, holding his knees to keep himself from falling over. "I swear to god..." he grumbles, taking steady breaths.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think my mission is going along just fine. The seeds of spending are already planted in your mind.
<Xanatos> NRP: Marcus*
<Chad`Winters> I'm more shocked you haven't used one of your ninjas to place a note on my forehead while I'm asleep.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias squats down beside Marcus, but far enough away that he can react. 1"I'm sorry, I was aiming for your shin. My bad."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You still sleeping in trees?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ninjas. You're such a child.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bences, boxes, on hills. 6He holds ups his hand, tapping his finger as he counts each spot off. "I even slept ontop of a billboard and ontop of a neon sign.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Benches
<Chad`Winters> ...Wait wait wait. Let's step back here. You obviously know I havent' boughten her anything...You..6He just start laughing lightly as he points at her. 1"You've been looking at my account haven't you.
<Xanatos> *Marcus straitens up and swings his fist up fro Dias' chin while he is preoccupied.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> My ninjas, no doubt.
<Chad`Winters> Dias suddenly loses his balance as fist flies towards him and he falls backwards onto his back. 1"Gah, clumsy me."
<Xanatos> *Marcus stumbles but rights himself, glancing down at Dias. "So how do you go on?"
<Chad`Winters> Well I guess that means I'll have to cut your gift budget down so I can get a better gift for Aya...You think she'd like her own full-sized play house?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, and scratches the back of his head. 1"Go on..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll ask my ninjas what one year olds like this time of year.
<Chad`Winters> What about karate classes?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh you know...living. How do you do it? It's gotta be rough.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She's too young for that sort of thing
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm not following...6He continues to scratch the back of his head, obviously confused.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah, I guess that's how. So oblivious to it all...I'll keep that in mind.
<Chad`Winters> She's good at poker tho.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Don't make me make your life miserible.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Whatever. 6He just throws his one hand up, totally lost now.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just nods. "I'll write that down." he pulls out a datapad and begins entering something into it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's with too s'.
<Chad`Winters> Fine...how bout one of those kid car's?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A toy ... car? Sure.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Funny...I thought there was only one s in jackass. I guess you would seem smart if you pointed out there was two s' in a word that wasn't even finished.
<Chad`Winters> Then I could put an engine in it..
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr narrows her eyes at Chad. Like he's her enemy.
* Chad`Winters taps his chin with his finger as he thinks. 1"So what do you have planned for christmas then?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Why do I have to plan for Christmas?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You sound bitter.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I do? Is it my tone? And here I thought I was hiding it sooo well.
<Chad`Winters> Just seeing if you're coming over or if we're coming over to your place.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Here is fine. Plus, Warren would appreciate less noise, I think.
* Chad`Winters looks at her then nods. 1"Invite him, I'll be sure to stock the pantries with liqour and pain killers.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't think he would understand that joke.
* Chad`Winters sighs, his head hanging slightly. 1"Yeah you're right."
<Chad`Winters> ...He's not pointing a gun at my child is he?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Why would you even ask that?
<Chad`Winters> It's Warren.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hmph. He's more twisted up over the fact he's about to have a kid of his own
<Chad`Winters> Really? How is that whole thing going between him and Cheryl anyways?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think the two are enjoying a comfortable type of argument that involves her yelling, and him staring.
<Chad`Winters> So she's decided to take him as the father then even tho...6He just waves his hands. "You know."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It seems.
<Chad`Winters> So she living with you guys then too?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We all have apartments in the same building. It's like a sitcom.
<Chad`Winters> Make sure to invite her over for christmas too....Man, I feel sorry for Warren now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> At least this year she can't drink.
* Chad`Winters laughs lightly again. 1"A few liqour stores can stand a loss of revenue for a day.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Try for 6 more months
<Chad`Winters> Oooh, that's gonna really hurt them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr laughs.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know what I ever did to you to make you this bitter...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is seen walking past Dias and Marcus, carrying an assortment of strange foods that don't go together. His eyes are narrowed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses then looks at Warren, blinking at him.
<Xanatos> *Marcus glances up from his datapad and eyes Warren as well.
<Chad`Winters> I'll never understand Warren, that's to say the least.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What do you mean?
<Chad`Winters> Well Cheryl and him. It's an odd situation really. This is a guy who came from a time when his hatred was fresh and brewing towards her. But yet, he's doing these things...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know. I admit I was surprised to hear that he aided Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is soon out of sight of he two.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So...what were you yammering about? 6He looks at Marcus
<Chad`Winters> Well I don't believe he ever had a problem with Ariel...Cheryl was probably less than a goal at the time.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh the usual. Yatta yatta no body loves me yatta yatta.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well you're ugly for starters.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, the two seem to be getting along well. I mean, I haven't heard the sound of physical fighting.
<Chad`Winters> You haven't heard the sound of a bed frame hitting a wall have you?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *she leans forward* You know, thinking back, I haven't seen Cheryl in two weeks. Do you think Warren...?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> HAH. Now that's a good one. I've got the face of an angel.
<Chad`Winters> Tied her to her bed and just forgot to untie her?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If angels had their faces dragged along a cheese grater for a mile and a half. Then yes, yes you do.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sighs* You're no fun
<Chad`Winters> Oh you think he killed her...6He leans forward.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You're one to talk.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Too late now! 6She sighs, then smiles like a kid. "Can I have more tea?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's why I have charms.
<Chad`Winters> Of course. 6He stands up grabbing both their cups and moves off to the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flips through some of his paper work.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Charms? You mean conning people?
<Chad`Winters> 6Most of it's rudimentary drawings, quickly scribbled thoughts, a grocery list, a shopping list, and some bill's.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts them all back in perfect place, then leans back, waiting to see if Chad could even tell
* Chad`Winters comes back in with both cups, he hands Zephyr' hers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Isn't that what charming someone is really doing?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes it, smiling and sipping her tea.
<Chad`Winters> Practicing your spying skills? 6He sits down in his chair leaning back in it as he takes a sip.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Not really. When you con, you take something from them. Money, sex, whatever. When you charm a person, you simply convince them to take interest in you, to like you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Whatever do you mean? 6She asks, perfectly innocent sounding.
* Chad`Winters nods to the stack of papers that are left nearby her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at them, then back at Chad. "What about them?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Matter of perspective.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I guess so. So I imagine you're going to be working for the military somehow?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yep, that's where the action is. 6He beams with pride.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Lucky you. I guess I didn't prove I was useful to Darien after all.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks by with an odd assortment of foods
<Xanatos> *Marcus pauses and eyes Darien now.*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks looking at Darien. 1"What the hell?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Is there some party that we're missing out on?
<Chad`Winters> It's the only stack of papers within arm's reach. It's only natural to look at it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I have manners.
<Chad`Winters> But by nature you're curious.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not that curious.
<Chad`Winters> I have a habit of leaving the second sheet an 1/8 of an inch off center.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr raises a brow, then glances at it, then at him. "Well, if it's not, you did it."
<Chad`Winters> Plus, I could hear you shuffling through the paper. I tend to use a courser grade of paper for that fact.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think you are hearing things, Chad. With your near death experience.
<Chad`Winters> It's given my super powers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Apparently...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> As Cheryl would say, "Super bullshitting powers".
<Chad`Winters> I think you've spent enough time around Cheryl, her language is rubbing off on you.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well since you're spending an excessive amount of time standing there doing nothing, I think i'll go and find some girl to charm.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna walks by nex--jsut kidding.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Zephyr's at Chad's so I don't suggest going there unless you want a broken neck.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, if I'm going to be an adult, I might as well use her as a role model.
<Chad`Winters> I suddenly fear for my daughter's upbringing.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hmmm. I don't believe I would enjoy that at all.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sips her tea pleasantly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> See that's the difference between charming and conning. A charmer just lies about his true intentions. A conner is honest in the end about what he wants.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I want Zephyr. I thought everyone knew that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And I want to beat your face in, but Zephyr would only hurt me.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Funny how I never did anything to you, yet you hate me so much.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Territorial.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Riiight. So when it is all said and done, you're just a rapid animal?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, I'm not quick.
<Chad`Winters> Next thing I know, she'll be back talking me. 6He sips his tea again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She will if you let her walk over you.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sure. *he turns to walk away* Take it easy, killer.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's Dias.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh my bad. Just had animal names stuck in my head. Killer's kinda catchy though, it might just stick.
<Chad`Winters> I'm weak against that cute pouty face tho.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I hear my fist in your face might be an upcoming trend too, wanna get a jump start on it and beat the curve?"
* Jackieness has left #taw
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hmph.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just laughs at Dias. "Violence is not always the option. You need to chill out."
<Chad`Winters> Yep, that's the one. 6He motions to her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks.
Session Close: Fri Jul 13 00:00:00 2007

<Chad`Winters> Nevermind. 6He just waves his hand as he takes another drink from his tea
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ....
<Chad`Winters> So what do you want for christmas anyways?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm good.
<Chad`Winters> So definetly not coal.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes, no coal.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's not?
<Chad`Winters> But something then.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't need anything. Really.
<Chad`Winters> It's not about need's.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Okay, I don't want anything either.
<Chad`Winters> Alright. 6He takes another drink of his tea.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nope. Logical people have interesting conversations.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh...You're fairy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sips her tea.
<Chad`Winters> What about Cheryl? One of those baby on board bumper stickers or a new mini-van?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You're fairy? Sounds like you just don't enjoy conversations because you can't speak proper common.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> she'd take the van.
<Chad`Winters> Can she even drive?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hello, I've only been around for about 2 years now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She's Cheryl. She can do anything. In a manner of speaking.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You what? *he eyes Dias oddly, clearly he has no idea what he is talking about*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Above your head.
<Xanatos> *Marcus arches a brow. "Yeah...It would seem so."
<Chad`Winters> I can imagine. I'll just buy her some beer that'll expire the day before she's due.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So you want Aya to be fatherless?
<Chad`Winters> Good point.
<Chad`Winters> ...Wait, you don't think she'd really kill her only brother?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She did hate you for years.
<Chad`Winters> True.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think you could very well push her over the edge.
<Chad`Winters> I prefer living...I made a promise I have to keep.
<Chad`Winters> 6Marcus would feel his shoe getting wet.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Good.
<Xanatos> *Marcus blinks and glances down at his show.
<Xanatos> NRP: show*
<Xanatos> NRP: SHOE*
<Chad`Winters> 6It and the snow around him is yellow.
<Chad`Winters> 6It not him
<Chad`Winters> You know...we never really had the chance to celebrate Aya's 1st birthday.
<Xanatos> *Marcus narrows his eyes and glances up at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It isn't until January 1st.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Marking my territory. 6He turns and sprints off.
<Chad`Winters> I knew that. 6He nods.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Testing me again, Chad?
<Chad`Winters> I just want to make sure you're prepared properly for your new job.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *snorts*
<Xanatos> *Marcus jerks down and grabs his piss covered shoe, he rips it off and throws it at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is gone in the crowd
<DeathStar> 6* A woman walks past Marcus, giving him a seductive smile
<Xanatos> *Marcus blinks at the woman and just smiles back.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman walks over. "Hello. You seem to have... lost your shoe."
<Chad`Winters> Getting a cold? 6He looks at her, with a concerned look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dragoons don't get colds.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It would appear so.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman looks sympathetic. "Well, would you like to come back to my place?"
<Chad`Winters> Dragoons don't get pregnant either.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Clearly Uncle Cran valued his children.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Depends. Do you have a mountain of shoes so that I may have my pick of the litter?
<Chad`Winters> Atleast one of them.
<DeathStar> <Woman> We could ... think of something.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You and Cheryl do have certain alike qualities, I've noticed. For Half-siblings.
<Chad`Winters> Really? Like what?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're both very stubborn.
<Xanatos> *Marcus taps his chin, he glances up and down the woman, sizing her up.
* Chad`Winters shrugs his shoulders, not about to argue that one.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Also, you both have the same chin.
<DeathStar> 6* She glances him over back.
<Chad`Winters> Really? 6He strokes his chin
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really. 6She looks cutely innocent.
<Chad`Winters> What else?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, *she waves her hand* You know.
<Chad`Winters> That's all you can come up with? Our stubbornness and our chins?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You sort of have the same walk, too.
<Chad`Winters> ...6He narrows his eyes at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles back.
<Xanatos> *Marcus sighs. "Damnit. I'm sorry I can't. I'm really into this girl right now and I don't want to screw it up."
<Chad`Winters> Not funny. 6He points his finger at her.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Well, okay. 6She looks him over, then walks off.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But it's true.
<Chad`Winters> Next you're going to say we have the same ass.
<Xanatos> Take care now. *he holds a hand up and moves over to retrieve his piss stained shoe before making his way back toward his home*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well...
<Xanatos> NRP: MArcus*
<Chad`Winters> Watch it...6He keeps his finger pointed at her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, as long as YOU notice it
<Chad`Winters> No, no. I don't look at her ass.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't believe you.
<Chad`Winters> She's my sister, that's just all sorts of wrong.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, Sera once tried to make out with Hotaru. 6She pauses, looking sad now as she remembers Hotaru
<Chad`Winters> Serena also slept with John behind her back.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes.... Poor Hotaru...
<Chad`Winters> We could always replace Serena's milk with spoiled milk to get back at her for Hotaru.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Chad`Winters> Sorry.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You were just trying to cheer me up. 6She gives a half smile, then brightens up. "Anyway, I'll just change Sera's reports and make her think she was really the daughter of a space alien."
<Chad`Winters> She'd probably believe you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It would make her special. She loves to play the martyr.
* Chad`Winters suddenly just laughs to himself. 1"Change the report to say she's Spades' daughter."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Seriously?
<Chad`Winters> I think it'd be hilarious.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers.
<Chad`Winters> I can help you forge the documents.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's okay. I don't want to abuse my position.
<Chad`Winters> Like they'd fire you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And why wouldn't they?
<Chad`Winters> Valuable asset. Why did you take the position?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because I created for this line of work. 6She studies his face, as if waiting for a hint of surprise.
* Chad`Winters holds his neutral poker face. 1"Don't you ever get tired of it?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No. I rather like it. And it's neat to be the one in charge now.
<Chad`Winters> That'd explain why your head is getting bigger.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hmph.
* Chad`Winters just smiles at her
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, that's not all that's getting bigger.
<Chad`Winters> Really now?
<Chad`Winters> So no more booster chairs?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Jerk. Jsut for that, I'm leaving. 6She stands up.
<Chad`Winters> I'm just kidding...I apologize.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sound like you mean it
<Chad`Winters> I didn't mean to offend you Zephyr, I apologize completely.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Grovel some more.
<Chad`Winters> I'll wake Aya up and make her beg that you stay.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits down, scowling like a kid. "That was mean."
<Chad`Winters> I play dirty.
<Chad`Winters> Game of Shogi? 6He motions to the gameboard
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Fine. I'll just beat you in it
* Chad`Winters leans over and grabs the game board and begins setting it up.

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070713.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Month 1, Week 3
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Sera and Xanatos are together at a turkey joint
* Seraphna has the soup!
<Xanatos> ...you come to a turkey place...and get soup...amazing.
<Seraphna> "...It's turkey soup."
<Xanatos> Well insteads of revoking 1 whole cool point, I'll just make it 1/2.
* Seraphna smiles a little, fixing her jacket a bit, "...SO how are yhou doing?"
* Xanatos takes a big bite of his sandwich, and takes his time chewing it up before swallowing. "Better than ever now."
<Seraphna> "...Oh? Anything interesting happen with you?"
<Xanatos> Just got some things taken care of. Things are finally starting to clear up in my life. Well...slowly, still working on a few things.
<Seraphna> "...GOd to hear, got a job yet?"
<Xanatos> That's...one of the things i'm working out. *he smirks*
<Seraphna> "...Oh?"
<Xanatos> ...oh? *he arches his brow, tilting his head slightly*
<Seraphna> "...I got a job... and I need a few people to fill roles..."
<Xanatos> Janus stuff, right? Well, I'm supposed to be meeting up with Darien to talk to him about a job. But, if he decides that me being around Kat would be a problem, then I might be needing a job still...if that's what you're hinting at.
<Seraphna> "...Could always use a test pilot."
<Xanatos> Don't they have dummies for tho-wait a minute. You were making fun of me weren't you?
<Seraphna> "...Why would I be doing that? You are the original test pilot of the Longsword model."
<Xanatos> I was? *he pauses and scratches his head, glancing up. Obviously trying to remember.*
<Seraphna> "...On the PAX, it was the first model of craft Janus ever built from my designs."
<Xanatos> Oh I've crashed so many ships that it is all just a blur now.
* Seraphna flinches, "...Yes... you have."
* Xanatos eyes her flinching. "Does it bother you when I wreck your equipment?"
* Seraphna smiles a little, "Only a bit... but everyone seems to have a knack for it."
<Xanatos> Make it better then. *he says with a shrugs, as if it were as easy as that*
<Seraphna> "Well, I have designed a shuttle that seems to not kill everyone when you guys crash it."
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, a group of Ensigns flying one of Sera's shuttles, crashes into a mountain. Everyone dies.
<Xanatos> That's always a start. *he pauses and then sighs* Hmmm, I don't believe I would be able to come work for you though...it would make things...difficult.
<Seraphna> "Probably... so... are you with Erevis now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien, meanwhile, sips a cup of tea, perking up at the thought of Erevis
* Xanatos blinks and tilts his head. "How did you know that?"
<Seraphna> "You're a very predictable person Xan."
<Xanatos> Oh? Then what am I going to do next?
* Seraphna sips her drink and smiles softly. "Hopefully, not the predictable.
<Xanatos> Yeah.....good guess.
* Seraphna smiles and sits back.
<Seraphna> "I'm sorry."
<Xanatos> ...for?
<Seraphna> "Everything... I wronged you and I'm sorry."
<Xanatos> Meh, i'm not the one you should be apologizing too. It wasn't MY body you were wronging, if you get my obvious suggestion.
<Seraphna> "I do need to talk to her, I've been keeping my distance for a bit to let her sort herself."
<Seraphna> "However, I did cheat on you."
<Xanatos> Yeah, but to be honest, it didn't suprise me. Spade was back, so you went back to him. Everyone knew it would happen. And besides, if I were you, I would not try to talk to Erevis. Ever. The last person that ever used her body for that type of pleasure is dead.
* Seraphna looks down at her drink.
<Seraphna> "I was a very self absorbed person..."
<Xanatos> Was? Are you suggesting you have changed?
<Seraphna> "I'd like to think so."
<Xanatos> You've said that before Sera. Only through your actions will I ever believe it. Not to be hard on you, but that's just how I feel. I'm trying out this new honesty gig, it's been really fun so far.
* Seraphna smiles softly
<Seraphna> "I understand."
* Xanatos taps his hand on the table casually. "So how have things been, since...well we broke up."
<Seraphna> "A rush really... my group went to the past and well..."
* Seraphna sighs
<Seraphna> "I really had to face my own demons."
<Xanatos> Heard you met the past me. How was he?
<Seraphna> "Girl obsessed."
* Xanatos smiles.
<Xanatos> So he was normal, then?
<Seraphna> "Pretty much."
* Seraphna sighs and plays with her soup a little, running the spoon over the surface.
<Seraphna> "MY father really was evil..."
<Xanatos> Well, duh. Come'on, i'm supposedly this huge moron and I knew that.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien quietly agrees about Xan being a huge moron.
<Seraphna> "Sometimes, we don't want to see someone for what they are."
<Seraphna> "He was my father, he raised me, a lot of his flaws and his strengths I carry..."
<Xanatos> I don't believe I would go about bragging about that. You say the name Cran and people just get this creepy look on their face.
<Seraphna> "I'm done hiding from who I am."
<Xanatos> So you want me to start calling you Angela then?
<Seraphna> "Possibly, that's why I'm looking into it."
<Seraphna> "Angela Bennet may very well be who I am. I don't know for sure yet."
* Seraphna plays at her soup a little more.
<Seraphna> "God my life is fucking confusing..."
* Xanatos blinks. "I'll say, cause you're sure confusing the hell outta me."
<Seraphna> "Alright... maybe I should start at the beginning?"
<DeathStar> 6* Flashback lines begins.
<DeathStar> 6* A very long flashback sequence is shown.
<DeathStar> 6* Flashback wavey lines end
* Xanatos stares. "...."
* Seraphna blinks as well
<Seraphna> "Anyways..."
<Seraphna> "From what I've learned, it seems that the same day Warren's fiance was killed inadvertently by Cheryl, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were in the very building that fell."
<Xanatos> Was the building on fire?
<Seraphna> "I'm not sure... why?"
<Xanatos> No reason, just reminded me of this thing I read once.
<Seraphna> "Oh... well anyways... Cheryl chose that day to curse Cran's name and reject the path he'd chosen for her, lo and behold, in the wreckage they came across an infant, barely alive."
<Xanatos> Actually this sounds really familiar....you sure they didn't steal this story from a book?
<Seraphna> "What do you mean?"
<Xanatos> Come'on, Serena Cran, aka Angela Bennet, discovered in the wreckage of a burning building, raised under the care of the evil Cran and his nasty associate Spade, to one day become the perfect weapons. That's got cheesy sci fi wrote all over it. And trust me, I would know. You made me watch like a million of those things.
<Seraphna> "Well, it's not far from what the cover story always was, I've always been Angela, at least in the records.
<Seraphna> "Originally, I was supposedly a survivor of the same incident, parents still killed, just 12."
<Seraphna> "Dad adopted me as some sort of goodwill gesture, I was amnesic at the time and couldn't remember my own name."
<Xanatos> ....Well at least now you've got 3 very different names to choose from.
<Seraphna> "Choices are a luxury, aren't they."
<Seraphna> "Though I've found it's easier to get cooperation from Janus employees by keeping the Cran name."
<Xanatos> Weird little cronies. You know, I don't get it. Why'd you accept the job at Janus if you wanted to seperate yourself from the whole Cran lifestyle.
<Seraphna> "Because I'd rather it me then someone else."
<Seraphna> "I intend to clean up the organisation, make it better."
<Xanatos> Well good luck with that. But you know what they say happens when you lie with dogs.
* Seraphna smiles softly, "Like I said, better it someone who's already experienced the taint."
<Xanatos> Taint? Why you little potty mouth you.
* Seraphna blushes
<Xanatos> Oh you still doing that? I told you to have the doctors check that out.
<Seraphna> "Dunno why, I just get embarrased easily."
<Xanatos> Don't ask me. I'm just kiddin around anyway. *he glances up* So what made you decide to ring me up to have lunch?
<Seraphna> "Just needed to see a friendly face."
<Xanatos> Well I can't say my face is friendly, what with all the scars.
<Seraphna> "I've always found it handsome and rugged. But I'm partial."
Session Close: Sat Jul 14 00:00:00 2007

Session Ident: #taw
<Xanatos> Oh stop. *he waves a hand* So how's Darien?
<Seraphna> "Quiet, he's slowly making himself distant..." *looks down, troubled*
<Xanatos> Ah. I imagine he'll probably break the bond soon. Do you think you can handle that?
* Seraphna shrugs
<Xanatos> Does that mean no?
<Seraphna> "Dunno..."
<Seraphna> "I knew he was going to one day but..."
<Xanatos> Hey, wait a minute. You think he might be snooping in on this conversation?
<Seraphna> "Maybe, I'm not shielding him from it."
<Xanatos> You should idly think of me naked. Give him a nice imagine. *he smiles*
* Seraphna blushes hard
<Seraphna> "I ummm... heh..."
* Seraphna finishes her drink.
<Xanatos> It'd be funny. *he shrugs, smiling*
<Seraphna> "Well... do you know what Erevis is going to do? I doubt she'll be interested in PAX."
<Xanatos> Oh. I'm not sure. She might not be doing anything.
<Seraphna> "Well, if you head to PAX, and she stays on Earth..."
<Xanatos> She could be aboard as a civilian.
* Chad`Winters has joined #taw
<Xanatos> Oh, can you send Darien a message. Ask him when he wants to meet up and talk about that.
<Seraphna> "True... but would having those two in close proximity..."
<Seraphna> "Mmm? Okay."
<Xanatos> Yeah, I was aware of that. That's why I wanted to talk to Darien. See what he thought about it.
<Chad`Winters> 6A resounding thud noise can be heard against the window they're by then a skreeching noise as something slides down it
* Seraphna looks at the window.
* Xanatos doesn't even glance, he just sighs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias can be seen sliding down it wearing only a sumo thong on.
<Xanatos> Oh speaking of him. I heard you two were gettin kinda close.
* Seraphna blinks and stares.
<Seraphna> "Close...?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias falls off the window, disappearing below the sill
<Xanatos> Yeah, that's what I heard. I assumed it was all just lies and hearsay.
<Seraphna> "Oh well... we've been talking more actually."
<Xanatos> Anything logical or a bunch of him taking your words and warping them around to other meanings that progress the conversation into something completely random?
<Chad`Winters> 6Two puppets slowly appear in the window, one of Xanatos Durran and one of Erevis. The Durran puppet moves to make whoopie to the Erevis puppet but get's bitch slapped
* Xanatos glances at the puppets and then at Sera. "I think he believes Erevis shot me down."
<Seraphna> "Some things logical..."
<Seraphna> "Tell me... do you think I'm capable of killing?"
<Chad`Winters> 6The Erevis puppet disappears and a reappears, becoming a Kat puppet. Xan moves to make love to her and get's bitch slapped again.
<Xanatos> Everyone is. Some just react to it differently.
* Xanatos just smiles at the show.
* Seraphna smiles too.
<Chad`Winters> 6The Kat puppet disappears and the Xan puppet sits there pouting.
<Xanatos> Shows you just how alone he is, playing with puppets. It's pretty sad.
<Xanatos> Maybe you should comfort him. *he glances at her, to see how she reacts*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits down still wearing his sumo thong next to Xan. 1"Hey what's up?"
* Seraphna smiles at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6The Xan puppets sits there moving back and forth as it pouts.
* Xanatos blinks and glances at Dias, then the puppet. "How much did you pay that guy to do the puppet thing?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh? 6He looks over at the puppet than at Xanatos. 1"What are you talking about?"
<Xanatos> Nevermind. *he taps the table still, glancing from Dias to Sera.*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias reaches over and grabs Xan's leftover sandwich and takes a bite out of it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you banging Erevis yet?
* Xanatos makes a face. "Ew, I didn't finish it because there was a hair in it."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs and polishes it off. 1"Did you use the Rape Sim to win her heart?
* Seraphna sits there turning beet red.
<Xanatos> Rape Sim?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Rape? What the hells' wrong with you? I asked if you gave her an ape mime.
<Xanatos> You're a moron.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Say's the guy who's too dumb to realize he's dead.
* Xanatos just shakes his head. "It's alright, I'll realize it one day."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Sera nodding at her. 1"So what's Ere's breasts feel like anyways?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks back over at Xanatos. 1"You're choice of taste is so plain...Add some mayo next time."
* Seraphna sighs and looks down.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks back at Sera. 1"What? This just means you can give Xan here a tip on what to expect."
* Xanatos eyes Dias. "Did you not taste the mountain of mayonaise on it?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances over at Xanatos. 1"Really?"
* Xanatos eyes Dias and then the sandwich. "You're slipping." He points to the mayo spilling out of the bread.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I already finished the sandwich...that's not mine. 6He looks over at Sera. 1"Kat got your tongue?"
* Xanatos arches his brow and wonders how another sandwich got there, then he glances around.
<DeathStar> 6* A pony watches Dias from afar. It's eyes are narrowed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly freezes up. 1"...Anyone else feel like a painted illbegotten pony is watching them?
<Xanatos> Nope, I believe that's you. Anyway, I need to go talk to Darien. You two crazy kids have fun. *he taps the table once more before standing and moving towards the exit*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly stands up, glancing around.
* Seraphna watches him go then looks at Dias, smiling nervously.
<Chad`Winters> Dias turns to eye the window his hand grabbing Sera's boob. 1"....I know that pony's out there..."
* Seraphna goes deep red, blushing hard, "U-Umm okay..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can feel that it's close by...6His hand continues to grab her boob
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waits on a park bench, wearing a coat full of snow on it, waiting for Xanatos.
* Xanatos steps up. "Don't you look like a big stoic snowman."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmmm.
<Seraphna> "That's not a pony."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias drops his hand and he turns to look at Sera. 1"You look flushed. You should get some cold water....Well I gotta go and co...charm some people into doing things for me."
<Seraphna> "How about you charm me into buying you a drink."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm not following...6He looks at her confused.
* Xanatos has his hands in his pockets, he sits down beside Darien. "I'm sure you realize that I turned Katrina down for a job on the PAX, but now it turns out that my funds are running terribly low. I believe it has to do with a little evil child...anyway, I could really use a job."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his nose. "So you want to work at the place that you told Katrina 'no' when she asked you to come with her?"
<Seraphna> "Let's go find a bar."
<Xanatos> The PAX, I was there for the original, and before it became all one big conspiracy, it was a place where we did some real good. It's unfortunate that things are the way they are between me and Kat, but I don't think I should let that get in between something I believe in. You're doing it right this time. I wanted to be there to help.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Another day I suppose. I'm running out of time for christmas. 6He turns starting to move away
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, I suppose I could hire you on.
<Xanatos> You serious? Wait...you're not going to be like Warren and make me a janitor are you?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Do you want to be a janitor?
<Xanatos> Well, not really.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I was thinking about making you chief of security. You did learn from Warren, right?
<Seraphna> "Christmas?"
* Seraphna rubs her eyes, "Damn... how did I almost forget Christmas."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well you are an old granny. It'll happen with age.
* Xanatos arches a brow. "Well, yeah. I worked with him for most of my military career."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Great. Just don't kick in doors without a warrant and shoot people.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just throws his hands up waving bye and steps out the front door. The Xanatos puppet turns and runs off after him.
* Seraphna pouts
<Xanatos> I'll keep that in mind. Oh, Darien. What about Erevis, would she be allowed aboard? *he rubs the side of his face, half-smiling*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Xanatos. "She's not enlisted."
<Seraphna> <Erevis might not be a good idea with Kat aboard.>
<DeathStar> <Darien> And I haven't heard her coming with Ariel.
<Xanatos> I know, but...is this PAX not going to allow civillians aboard?
* Seraphna finishes her soup and stands slowly, fixing the white flight jacket.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we'll have merchants and traders and shops on the station. So the station can be self supporting. But I don't see Erevis running a store.
<Xanatos> I'll talk to her. If she doesn't enlist, but decides she would like to help with a store, would that be alright?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why are you interested in what she does?
<Xanatos> Well. She and I are dating. I assumed you already knew since Sera did. And I just didn't want to get seperated from her.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He pinches the bridge of his nose. "You want to bring her to the station as your girlfriend?"
* Seraphna looks over a datapad and sighs, checking some messages.
<Xanatos> There something wrong with that?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just makes a strangled laugh sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to walk away.
<Xanatos> Wait, Darien. Seriously. I need to know. I've finally got to a place where I'm happy, and I just want to make it work. You don't have to worry about it getting in the way of my duties though, I wont let that happen.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're can be so dense. Katrina and Erevis on the same station, with you in a relationship with Erevis? You are one cold bastard.
<Seraphna> <What are you up to this evening? Besides picking on Xanatos?>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then considers. "But whatever. I can assign you and Erevis the same quarters if she doesn't do a job of some sort in order to pay for her own separate room."
<Xanatos> Alright. I appreciate it Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's your balls.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans his head back. <How about Dinner with that paperwork?>
<Xanatos> Well i'm hopeful that I can just steer clear of Katrina. If it's anything like the old PAX, that shouldn't be so hard.
<DeathStar> <Darien> <Paperwork and dinner don't go well together. But lets do dinner. Name a place.>
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes, of course, except for your monthly counselor check ups.
* Xanatos winces. "I completely forgot about those...that may be a problem, then."
<Seraphna> <The nice little italian place near where you're staying.>
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's your life. Live it like you want. If you don't love Katrina, you don't love her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sends a confirmation to Sera, then turns and walks away from Xanatos.
<Xanatos> Thanks again. *he says, then turns to walk in the opposite direction*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then glances back at Xanatos. "You love Erevis, right?"
* Seraphna steps outside and walks down the block.
* Xanatos stops and looks back at Darien. "Of course. Why?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Can Erevis love you? 6He asks Xanatos, then turns and continues on.
* Xanatos stands there for a moment considering, he shrugs and then turns and continues on."

<DeathStar> Location: Special Ops HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna has been made to wait almost an hour in a special ops room.
* Seraphna sits back, relaxing and working on her datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and an 19 year old woman walks in, sitting down across from her. It's Zephyr.
* Seraphna looks her over, "So you figured out how to grow up..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It would seem so.
<Seraphna> "Good for you then."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls out a folder and places it down.
<Seraphna> "Ah, you've found something then?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The offical records on the Bennets.
* Seraphna picks it up, opening the folder she glances over the data.
<Seraphna> "Tell me, why do you think I'm looking into this?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't care why you're looking into it. I was told to help you, so I am. Your parents were nothing special to speak of - they ran a store building trinkets. The store was bought and turned into something else, so you won't find anything there. They had a little girl, called Angela Bennet, 12 years before the colony attack, according to the records.
<Seraphna> "Any indications that the records may have been altered?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No.
* Seraphna looks them over, "Don't know whether to be relieved or dissapointed. At least I know where I come from now."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, the queston we need to answer is if you were Angela Bennet.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I found two sets of records. The ones where Cran adopted a girl called Angela Bennet, and one where it says Angela Bennet died.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slides the records over to her.
* Seraphna looks them over, "...An odd choice of a coverup..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, one must be fake.
* Seraphna puts down a data disc. "This is everything I found in the Ragnarok lab."
<Seraphna> "Well... they could both be true."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I've already had some of my people go over it. 6She just smiles, never saying how she got it.
<Seraphna> "I'm impressed."
<Seraphna> "What were the results?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> From what we can tell, the data you recovered has a lot of DNA protects on it. How to alter one's DNA so the new DNA over writes it with no problems. You have to get injections every few years - for your Dragoon stuff, you were told, right?
<Seraphna> "Yes, I've got a bit of a supply. Someone didn't want me to go through the pain again."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If you were Angela Bennet, that might be what you need for your new Cran/Ariel DNA not to be rejected by your body.
<Seraphna> "Mmm... a few more years till we have to try a few things..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If you really believe you're Angela Bennet, your data gives us the method to make machines like Cran did, and transpose the Angela DNA over the Cran/Ariel DNA.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But, we'd need Angela's DNA.
<Seraphna> "I have that."
<Seraphna> "At least, I think."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And you're positive it's accurate?
* Seraphna pulls out a vial. "You want to make sure?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's impossible to make sure. We don't have anything to verify what Angela Bennet's DNA was to begin with.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But if you think this is accurate, we can use it.
<Seraphna> "Don't all citizens have a DNA record?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Angela Bennet doesn't. 6She leans back her head to watch Sera. "In fact, someone went to great lengths to get rid of it."
<Seraphna> "Cran didn't want me going back."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He was a dick.
<Seraphna> "Agreed."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, shall we stick you full of this? 6* She takes the vial, holding it and eyeing it.
<Seraphna> "You think it can be used at any time?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't think DNA goes bad, but I'm not a scientist.
<Seraphna> "I was thinking about when I got sick
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sure, whatever. 6* She rolls the vial back.
<Seraphna> "...Tell me, I need someone who 'doesn't care'."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Tell you what?
<Seraphna> "Do you think I should become a human?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Personally, Serena, I don't think you want to give up your uniqueness.
* Seraphna sits back and sighs, "You think being the Omega makes me unique?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think you want to grasp at anything that will make you unique. After all, you call yourself the black sheep. I think you like it. 6She stands up. "If I had to guess, yes, you were Angela Bennet once. But who or what you want to be, it's all up to you."
* Seraphna rubs her forehead.
<Seraphna> "I've never wanted to be the Omega."
<Seraphna> "If anything, I've hated it."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snorts. "Then break your bond with Darien, take the DNA treatment, and be human."
<Seraphna> "Very well... I have to speak with Darien before I do it, just to be gentle."
<Seraphna> "Don't know how many abrupt breakings you've had, but it's not pleasent."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know what it feels very much thank you. 6She says coldly.
* Seraphna sighs, "Sorry... I know you do, I'm just being a bitch as usual."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I'll have my people give your people the specs on the DNA machines. Have fun being human, Angela. 6She opens the door.
<Seraphna> "Thank you Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just nods once and steps out, closing the door.

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays down on her chair, her belly already starting to show her pregnancy. "Your people really need to build my ships faster. Other races are making fun of our fleet."
<Seraphna> "You know how we are... slow but sturdy, I'm trying a few designs..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances around, then pulls out a cigar from her arm rest in her chair. "I know, I know."
* Seraphna yawns a bit, looking at her datapad, "Those are bad for the baby, you know."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs. "You sound like Ariel."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> AND Warren.
<Seraphna> "Heh, we care."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, what did you want to talk about?
<Seraphna> "I think I've found a way to reverse what Cran did to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts the cigar down, running a hand through her bangs. "Really."
<Seraphna> "Yes, I could become human, Angela Bennet, to be exact."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wow. ... Are you..?
<Seraphna> "Am I what...?" *she looks a little perplexed*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Going to reverse it.
<Seraphna> "I don't know... Zephyr seems to think by staying a Dragoon I'm clinging to some kind of uniqueness."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Zephyr also has a personal grunge against you. What do you want?
<Seraphna> "I really don't know... I-It's an odd choice... as a Dragoon I can better protect people but as a human I could..." *she looks at Cheryl's tummy*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at her stomach, then at Sera. "Get fat?"
<Seraphna> "...No... have a child..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Have swollen ankles?
* Seraphna smirks
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gestures at the air. "Vomit every morning."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can see the appeal.
<Seraphna> "Yeah I know the downsides... and having a period would be an odd thing to start having at my age..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, if this is what you want, Sera, then be a human. But if you like being a Dragoon, then there's nothing wrong with that.
* Seraphna smiles softly. "You make a good big sister, have I ever said that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Someone has to think straight around here."
* Seraphna smiles more and sits back.
<Seraphna> "So... have they been able to figure out if it's a boy or a girl yet?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A boy.
* Seraphna smiles, "Got a name figured out yet?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm just working on reaching month 9.
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
* Seraphna giggles
<Seraphna> "I'm sure a tough chick like you can make it." *she looks at her fondly, it's no jab*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ha ha ha. As if a baby could beat me.
* Seraphna looks at her in a mockingly grim faction, "Dunno, you ever seen little Aya's bear strike?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I blame Chad for Aya's unholy abilities.
<Seraphna> "Well, yeah."
* Seraphna looks a little less happy at the meniton of Chad's name
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's wrong?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You and Chad still mortal enemies?
<Seraphna> "Dunno what we are... but close isn't a word I'd use."
<Seraphna> "He and Zephyr have somehow formed and Anti-Sera wall in thier lives."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *gives a predatory smile* They are stubborn.
<Seraphna> "Seems to run in both families." *gives a lopsided grin*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not stubborn. I'm perfectly reasonable. As long as you do what I want.
* Seraphna giggles and grins
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, what will you do about yourself?
<Seraphna> "Talk to Darien, then descide... I've never really wanted to be what I am... but I've grown used to it."
<Seraphna> "I have what I need to live either way... it's down to a choice..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, just in case you decide to become human, use your inhuman strength to bring me something to drink from the fridge.
<DeathStar> *while you have it
* Seraphna gets up, coming back with some soda for each of them, making the extra show to act like she's making an effort.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, here's to new predicaments. 6She pats her stomach.

<Chad`Winters> 6A resounding knocking noise can be heard from Cheryl's door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the door, wearing a loose fitting outfit, and holding a datapad. "This had better be good."
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Jackieness`)))
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of a sumo wrestling arena, a wad of credits in his hand.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Chad`Winters> 6She's greeted with Aya being held directly eye level.
<Chad`Winters> That's no way to greet your neice.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're not my niece.
* Chad`Winters peers around Aya. 1"I don't wanna know the mechanics that would make that possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya grabs Cheryl's leg and holds on. Cheryl leans down and picks her up. "And why are you here? Don't you have spy stuff to do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds a japanese blade, having been practicing ancient fighting arts in some ancient Japanese housing
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
* Seraphna sits nearby Darien, quietly working on a datapad, occasioanlly eyeing his progress.
* Chad`Winters leans against the door way. 1"I already put my 8 hours in today."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't ask her about becoming human, probably having already been in on her thought process on it. He slices the air with the katana.
<Chad`Winters> 6The air cries out in pain.
<Seraphna> "...I had an idea."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmmhm
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps aside. "Well, come in."
<Seraphna> "...How deeply have you been looking into this Japanese stuff?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I know a little about it.
* Chad`Winters moves inside, eyeing the apartment as he moves inside.
<Seraphna> "Have you ever heard of Daimyo?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pockets the creds and walks along the street.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Does it meet your approval? 6She asks Chad, getting Aya some juice.
<Seraphna> "I was thinking, perhaps handing out a Daimyo to every major General and leader would be a good idea, sort of a cultural melding into the new military..."
<Chad`Winters> Just checking to see how many hidden weapons you have lieing about.
<DeathStar> <DArien> You would need to speak with Cassandra about that.
<Seraphna> "You seem to be embracing the local customs."
* Seraphna smiles a little, watching him.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You wouldn't find them. Beer?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Actually, not really. I'm just keeping myself busy while I wait for PAX 3 to be completed.
* Chad`Winters glances at Cheryl. 1"I'd love one."
<Seraphna> "Ah, thanks for the reminder..." *she taps out a few things*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pats his outfit, wearing a typical military outfit. "I was never really part of Earth and it's cultures. Now, I hear Erevis is quite the Japanese lover."
* Seraphna looks down
<Seraphna> "...Yeah..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> This is a fine blade. 6He holds the katana on one finger, balancing it.
* Chad`Winters plops down on her couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets a beer, then sets Aya down to play with some toys, and then hands Chad his beer, sitting down in her comfy chair.
* Chad`Winters opens it, sniffing the aroma off it. 1"Smells great."
* Seraphna looks at it, "Triple folded carbon steel, etched with refined titanium, by the markings it's a recent Yamato make..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... It's beer, Chad.
* Seraphna goes back to looking at her datapad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmmm hm. 6He shifts his hand back, letting the katana fall, and grabs it in mid-air. "I do love a fine blade."
<Seraphna> "You know, when they made the Katana, it was a spiritual weapon to bring about peace to the land."
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
<DeathStar> <Darien> You should have seen the sword Erevis got for Ariel. A geninuine one. Good thing she doesn't spend money on herself, or she'd never afford it. 6He sheathes the sword. "Spiritual, eh?"
<Chad`Winters> You're still not mad about the empty keg I got you for christmas, are you?
<Seraphna> "Yeah, the blades are suppsoed to be made for a particular person, that weapon is then passed down through generations."
<Seraphna> "It's said to be far less effective in the hands of someone who is not of the family it was crafted for."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tch.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chad, I could never be mad at you. 6She smiles, showing every tooth
<Seraphna> "What, don't believe in the supernatural?"
<Cassandra`> I heard you might be in here. *steps into the dojo, clad in a kimono*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at Cassandra, and decides to skip over Sera's question. "You look good."
* Seraphna looks over at Cassandra and smiles, "Definately good."
<Chad`Winters> Good, then I'll have a delivery truck filled with alcohol break down outside your apartment.
<Cassandra`> Thank you. *walks over to join them*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And it'll go bad right before my pregnancy, right? *snorts*
<Chad`Winters> I thought about it, then I realized you'd just push it out so you could still drink good beer.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I imagine you've been very busy lately, General Arakawa.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, what pleasure do I owe to this visit? 6She sips warm milk.
<Chad`Winters> Thought I'd stop by and see how things are going.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a hand on her belly. "And talk about beer. Of course. I'm not pregnant enough to throw you out that window."
* Cassandra` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> If I recall, you offered me the beer. I just ran with it. 6He takes a sip from it.
* Seraphna sits abck and puts her datapad aside, hugging her knees a little. she's taken to tying back her long hair lately, though the blue is no longer a thin strip but a very hard to hide collection of streaks
<DeathStar> 6* Darien remains perfectly groomed, with no gray streaks in his hair.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's poisoned beer.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Chad`Winters> That's what that flavor is...6He looks down the bottle.
* Jackieness is now known as cassandra`
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm. 6She gets more comfortable, closing her eyes.
* cassandra` is now known as Cassandra`
<Cassandra`> Very busy, though I'm taking this moment to get in touch with myself.
<DeathStar> <Darien> A General getting in touch with herself. 6He grins at Cassandra. "That's dangerous talk."
<Seraphna> "Trouble getting used to your restored body?"
<Cassandra`> I'm still a woman.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can see that. 6He nods at her breasts. "Christmas present?"
<Chad`Winters> How's you doing so far?
<Cassandra`> Ahem...well... *blush*
* Seraphna blinks, "...So... is it easy to get used to being completely human again...?"
<Cassandra`> Ah...it feels...strange...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Busy as ever. I'm having to organize a new fleet. It's not easy work. Training cadets to become full fledged ensigns is getting to be a headache. And if I here "Yes sir, Admiral sir" one more time, I'll break someone's teeth
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Cassandra blushing, then smiles at Sera. "You two are more alike than I realized."
* Seraphna blushes and nods, "We are... in an odd way..."
<Chad`Winters> And in another month you'll have to sit down to catch your breath every 10 minutes.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't blush.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bite me.
<Chad`Winters> But on the good side of it, they can just roll you around.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll kick your ass, Winters.
<Cassandra`> Anyway...I've settled in to my place here in Tokyo.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's excellent news to hear.
<Chad`Winters> Hmmmm...*he taps his chin* I can see it now, the fearsome General Cheryl, knitting a booty.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I knew the first time I saw you on the original PAX that you'd be commanding us all one day.
<Cassandra`> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course. You were always very determined.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chad. She seems debating throwing him out the window.
* Chad`Winters sits there tapping his chin, possibly picturing Cheryl knitting.
<Cassandra`> Well...I'm not sure what to do now...I can't climb up any further.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hate you.
<Chad`Winters> I know. Have a name yet?
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's always Supreme General left. You know. The person who is over the army, Janus, and the fleet.
<Seraphna> "...Sure you can, but I don't think you're one for politics."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I do wonder who the Supreme General is, now that I think about it.
<Seraphna> "Who's filling that role anyways?"
* Seraphna blinks as she says it with Darien
* Seraphna looks down.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles at Sera.
* Seraphna smiles a little
<Seraphna> "I think Talon is filling that role himself right now."
<Seraphna> "President is the Commander in Chief anyways."
<Seraphna> "Least, I haven't gotten any higher orders."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'll see. Right now, each department is still getting it's house in order. There's no need for someone to command all of them at once.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Except in times of conflict.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, I don't have a name. 6She says with a sneer. "Why does everyone ask that?"
<Seraphna> "SPeaking of which... if I hear 'Lady Cran' one more time today..."
<Cassandra`> Quite...but today is a day off for me.
<Chad`Winters> It's a typical question to ask a pregnant person.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well, I don't care.
<Cassandra`> So enough business.
<DeathStar> <Darien> OF course. What can we do for you?
<Cassandra`> Just visiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, then tosses the sheathed katana over to Cassandra. "How are you with a blade, CasS?"
<Chad`Winters> I think Aya's getting excited at the prospect of having a cousin.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances over at Aya snooping through some papers.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, she looks it.
<Chad`Winters> Reconassaince mission. 6He looks at her, a serious look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I believe it. You would do such a thing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Speaking of reconassaince, how has the other family spy been?
* Cassandra` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> I think she enjoys bossing me around.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, what are you working on, Sera?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She always did that anyway.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Seraphna> "I've launched production on the Longsword and Halbred models... currently urging along construction on the unnamed Gunships and Carriers..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You do enjoy your work.
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
<Chad`Winters> True, but now I have to listen to it. She ordered me to get her water one morning.
<Seraphna> "Oh yes..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That must have taken all your resources to accomplish.
<Seraphna> "Frankly, if dad hadn't sent me to PAX, if I wasn't Omega, I'd have my doctorate in Engineering by now..."
<Seraphna> "I love building things..."
* Cassandra` catches the katana, unsheathes it, slashes at the air, then sheathes it again in one action.
<Cassandra`> Out of practice.
<Chad`Winters> I used a full scale assault team.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'd be adraid to see you in shape.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The taxplayers applaud your ingenuity, Chad.
<Cassandra`> When I was a young girl, I could make that move in half the time...I got used to big guns
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles. "Well, if you don't tell anyone..." 6He winks at Sera, then faces Cassandra. "I suck at guns."
* Seraphna giggles
<Seraphna> "Sadly the bond doesn't seem to work both ways."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
<Chad`Winters> I feel it keeps them on their toes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smirks a bit, brushing back her blonde bangs as she studies Chad in silence.
<Cassandra`> Well, tea perhaps?
<DeathStar> <Darien> When in Rome, drink as the Romans do.
* Seraphna holds out her hand a summons a rather intricate katana into it.
* Seraphna dispels it and looks up, "Tea sounds good."
<DeathStar> <Darien> But I refuse to wear a kimono.
<Cassandra`> My place then.
<Chad`Winters> How're the swollen ankles?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Terrible. Want to massage them?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, turning and blowing out a candle. He steps out of the dojo to follow CAssandra.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure Warren would be better off doing that. I hear he has a foot fetish.
* Seraphna hops up and heads after them.
* Cassandra` starts walking down the street.
<Seraphna> <Mmm.... wonder if I should pick up some Kimonos..."
<Seraphna> >
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hmph. You ARE completely useless. Why do I let you come in here and drink my beer that I can't drink?
<Chad`Winters> Because you're afraid it'll goto waste otherwise? 6He tilts his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs. "Yes, let all the females on the old crew wear kimonos."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hardly.
<Chad`Winters> We should probably just throw it all out anyways.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You first.
* Seraphna giggles her ute giggle and grins.
<Cassandra`> I'm wearing a kimono for a reason...
<Seraphna> "Wonder how I'd look in them..."
<Seraphna> "Oh?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> You were from the Japanese providence originally, weren't you, Cassandra?
<Chad`Winters> Ouch. 6He leans back. 1"So you ready to be a mother?"
<Cassandra`> That is correct.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Were you were ready to be a father?
<Chad`Winters> Point.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I was from the North American Providence myself.
<Seraphna> "I have no clue where I'm from."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smiles.
<Cassandra`> But with the center of operations here now, it gives me the opportunity to get back in touch with my ancestors.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly comes running by Cass, Darien and Sera.
<Seraphna> "Someone went to great lengths to remove as much of the Bennet family past as possible..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It is a good a Providence to put the capital in. 6He glances at Sera.
<Chad`Winters> What about Warren? How's he handling it all?
* Seraphna watches Dias run by.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Better than me.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien either doesn't see Dias, or just pretends not to.
<Chad`Winters> Really?
<Cassandra`> Here we are. *stops in front of some wooden gates*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's Warren, after all.
<Seraphna> "All I know is they colony I'm from. Easy to remember considering how many members of the crew are tied to that disaster."
<Chad`Winters> 6A horse comes running by, following the exact same path Dias took by them.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien comes to a stop, glancing at the Arakawa land estate.
* Seraphna looks at the gates
* Seraphna does her best to make a very odd whistle.
<Seraphna> "...Cass... not bad."
<Chad`Winters> But he's a Warren from the past....6He crosses his arms, somewhat intrigued
<Cassandra`> This is the home of my ancestors. When my parents emigrated to the colonies, we had to leave this behind.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He acts like our Warren.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Homecomings are always emotional, aren't they? 6He doesn't sound as if he speaks from experience.
<Seraphna> "They are." She does speak form experience.
<Chad`Winters> So I should hide the pain pills?
<Cassandra`> Unfortunately...there was no one here to welcome me home but cobwebs, dust, and echoes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I imagine Setsuna was from the Japanese Providence as well.
* Chad`Winters eyes her, judging her no response.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You two must get along well here.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chad back, judging his judgement.
<Cassandra`> We do...very...very...well.
* Seraphna looks down. "Sounds a lot like Cran Manor... probably a bit more dusty though."
<Chad`Winters> Don't judge me. 6He scoffs at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks his tongue at Cassandra's answer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't judge me.
<Cassandra`> Well...we do. Anyway... *passes into the garden...which is consdierably overgrown currently*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves along, glancing over the grounds. "You know, if you want to get this garden into shape, I'd have misbehaving cadets do it for you."
<Chad`Winters> So what about things between you two then?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like I'd indulge your nosey ego.
<Chad`Winters> I see. So you guys are doing it then. I'm sure Zephyr will be interesting to hear this bit of news.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell her whatever you like. 6She just smiles.
<Cassandra`> Its a thought. We got the tea house back into usable condition though. *walks past a half-repaired Italian sports car*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops.
* Seraphna stops, looking at he car.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at the car, then the Japanese style garden.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at the car.
<Seraphna> "...You need help on this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pinches the bridge of his nose as soon as Sera says that. "Naturally, that's the first thing she asks."
* Chad`Winters glances down at his datapad then over at her. 1"Well, it seems I need to get going sis."
<Cassandra`> ...what? I like fast cars. This is the same one I had when we were at the old capital city...it survived in its udnerground garage...but needs some repairs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's always nice to ask your questions about my sex life. How's yours? You and Zephyr trying out her new body?
<Seraphna> "I can't help it, it is a machine in need of repair."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And so the old culture and new culture clashes together.
* Chad`Winters pauses then looks at her, a shocked look on his face. 1"You think she'd want to?"
<Cassandra`> *w* ...besides...Setsuna and I...we...had sex on the hood of the car...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think you'd want to. 6She shows her teeth
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then glances at the hood.
* Seraphna blushes horribly.
<Cassandra`> Ahem! Tea! Yes, tea!
* Chad`Winters just grunts in response*
<Cassandra`> *quickens her pace to the teahouse*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien scratches his head as he thinks about something.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along, eyeing the car.
<Cassandra`> ...what...?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nothing at all. 6He glances ahead for the teahouse. "Nice car."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I bet it goes real fast.
<Cassandra`> Its...a fast machine...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smiles more.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Indeed.
* Seraphna looks down, cheeks red.
<Chad`Winters> I figured she'd want a souvinier from the future. 6He just shrugs and moves over to pick Aya up.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya bites Chad's arm.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Me play with Aunt Cher
* Chad`Winters looks down at her. 1"We don't bite."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his chin thoughtfully.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pouts.
* Cassandra` enters the teahouse, opening up the screens to let in light and air.
<Chad`Winters> No, if you want something you ask. Biting isn't acceptable Aya.
<DeathStar> <Aya> But Dias bites.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien removes his shoes and steps inside.
* Seraphna follwos Darien's example.
<Chad`Winters> Dias also sleeps outside.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Me wanna too!
<Chad`Winters> When you're 18.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... how long?
<Chad`Winters> Less than 17 more years.
<DeathStar> <Aya> How long?
<Chad`Winters> Awhile.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pouts.
* Cassandra` *burns some incense* I'll be right back. *leaves and heads for the main house*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits down crosslegged, crossing his arms, looking relaxed.
<Chad`Winters> And if you want to play with Aunt Cheryl, you have to ask her first.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gives her a pleading look. <Cheryl> Fine, fine. Warren likes having her over.
* Seraphna sits down across from Darien, mimicing him again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien continues to ponder about the car.
<Seraphna> <Mmmm... did I catch that Cass and Setsuna aren't getting along...?"
<Seraphna> >
<DeathStar> <Darien> I didn't catch that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> In my experience, having sex on the hood of a car is a good sign.
<Chad`Winters> I'll let Zephyr know so she can swing by and pick her up later. 6He sets Aya down and kneels. 1"Give papa a kiss." 6He turns his cheek to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya kisses his cheek.
* Chad`Winters pats her forehead and turns. 1"Seeya Cheryl."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives a wave. "Later."
* Chad`Winters moves off, shutting the door behind him.
<Seraphna> <When we were at the gates...>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs.
<Seraphna> <Wait... wow where's my head...>
<Seraphna> 
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches Chad leave. His eyes narrow.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *chuckles*
* Cassandra` returns with kettle of hot water and canister of green tea.
<Cassandra`> You'll have to excuse me as I am badly out of practice with my tea ceremony, so I shall have to do an abbreviated version. *starts pouring and mixing*
<DeathStar> <Darien> No worries. I don't know the proper ceremony anyway.
<Seraphna> "...I fell asleep during my last one... granted I was 13 and was dragged to it by my Father."
<DeathStar> <Darien> How evil.
<Seraphna> "Could have been, somehow, it was my Dad after all."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Your father did love you, though, Serena. Or came to love you. He did set you free to be who you wanted to be.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You'll find most tyrants do mellow with old age.
* Cassandra` sets the cups of tea out.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien bows his head to Cassandra when she places his cut out.
* Seraphna bows as well, blushing a bit again.
<Cassandra`> One does not know true peace until they have seen the bottom of a cup of tea... *raises her cup, sipping*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up his cup as well, sipping it.
* Seraphna sips as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sets the cup down. "This tea is wonderful."
* Seraphna drinksa bit more and relaxes
<Seraphna> "It is... thank you Cass."

<Cassandra`> You are most welcome... *looks out at the still wild garden* ...a pity the season is still off...the best days of spring are the cherry blossoms...
<Seraphna> "I had an idea I wanted to chare with you Cass."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Unfortunately, I won't be here when Spring finally arrives...
<Cassandra`> An idea?
<Seraphna> "PAX should be up right? And the idea is actually to give a Daimyo out to every leader in the new military."
<DeathStar> NRP: *in the background, Tokyo tower is attacked by aliens and soldiers of love fight them*
<Cassandra`> ...a...daimyo?
<Seraphna> "A Katana, crafted specifically for each person."
<Cassandra`> A daimyo is a title for a feudal lord.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sips his tea, remaining out of this.
<Seraphna> "The word was also associated with a certain kind of sword."
<Seraphna> "At least, my rundown of the standard Dialects from 1400 to 1800 AD based around Kyoto state...."
-> [Cassandra`] FINGER
<Seraphna> "Is there a more modern use of the word?"
<Cassandra`> I have never heard daimyo used to refer to a type of sword. *sips her tea*
* Seraphna shrugs, "I'm sure you get what I'm suggesting though."
<Cassandra`> In the past, officers of the Japanese army did have a katana as a badge of rank. *sips*
<Seraphna> "I'm just getting into the culture, I'm thinking with our captial changing we should consider taking some aspects of the Japanese culture into our military."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes his tea, setting the cup down.
<Cassandra`> Don't get too ahead of yourself. Focus on the important things....pageantry has to wait.
<Seraphna> "I work 12 hour days right now... one tends to form hobbies to fill in the gaps."
<Cassandra`> NRP: I need to get going.
<DeathStar> NRP: Understood
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thank you for the lovely, tea, Cassandra. But I should be going. 6He stands up, then pauses and bows.
<Cassandra`> Of course.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and exits the teahouse.
<Cassandra`> NRP: Night night
* Cassandra` has left #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Darien passes by the car again, pausing to eye it.
* Seraphna excuses herself a short time later and heads home, she stops outside Cheryl's door, knocking.

<DeathStar> Month 3, Week 4 - March 10-586
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, Feb.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
* Dias tosses some credits down as he picks up his carton of beef fried rice. He jabs his chopsticks in it and starts eating as he moves away.
<Cassandra`> NRP: Eatting Cantonese in Tokyo...sad...
<DeathStar> 6* It is another busy day in the marketplace, where Dias currently resides, avoiding any military duties.
* Seraphna stands in front of a nearby shop, window shopping.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits around in a hanger, working on a small ship. He's covered in oil.
* Dias spins the chop sticks around his fingers as he moves down the street
* Seraphna is soon in Dias' way.
* Dias stops, blinking. He shovels more food into his mouth.
* Seraphna turns and finds a Dias in front of her, blinking a little. "Hiya."
<Dias> Yo. 6He glances across the street at a very hot brunette wearing a long coat and sunglasses. He himself is wearing a t-shirt and jeans in the cold weather.
* Seraphna is in a pair of casual slacks and a nice blouse, wearing a white flight jacket, her hair pulled back. "Shopping?"
<Dias> Nope, avoiding military duties. 6He says nonchalantly as he perks his head up to follow the woman.
<Seraphna> "Alrighty... not my division anyways. Wanna grab a drink?"
<Dias> It's 11 am...6He slides his head to the otherside of Sera, his eyes still locked on the woman
<Seraphna> "I haven't gotten to bed yet..."
<Dias> You work too much then.
<Seraphna> "Prolly." *she crosses her arms and pouts* "What, the brunette better then me?"
<Dias> Here hold this. 6He shoves his cart on of food into her hands and quickly darts around her, moving across traffic to get to her.
* Seraphna sighs and watches him do.
<Seraphna> *go
<DeathStar> 6* The brunette seems to be focused on something else, a hand to her ear.
* Dias bumps between two people, his body twisting to get closer to her.
<DeathStar> 6* The brunette still doesn't seem to notice the incoming Dias
* Dias bumps roughly into a guy behind the brunette. He looks at him, apologizing
<DeathStar> 6* The guy eyes Dias.
* Dias slides upto the brunette, his arm going around her shoulder. 1"Well hello there beautiful, I couldn't help but notice you from across the street and I just had to say hi."
<DeathStar> <Woman> ... 6She turns to face Dias. "What are you doing here, Dias?"
<Dias> ...So my reputation precedes me. Than we can skip the nonsense dribble and get down to business.
<DeathStar> 6* The man casually walks around Dias and the woman and keeps going. The woman turns to face Dias fully. "What sort of business?"
<Dias> ...Well most woman enjoy my company.
<DeathStar> <Woman> ....
<DeathStar> 6* She lowers her sunglasses, eyeing Dias coldly.
* Seraphna watches.
* Dias just blinks as he looks into her eyes. 1"Such beautiful eyes, I think I lost myself in them.:"
<DeathStar> 6* The woman smiles slowly. "Since I like you, Dias, I'm going to give you 3 seconds to remove your hand from my ass."
* Dias slowly removes his hand as he looks at her.
<Seraphna> <Mmmm... bored, you doing your solo thing on that shuttle?>
<DeathStar> 6* The woman puts a hand to her ear. "I lost sight of the target. You pick him up again."
<Dias> You like me? Well we should go out for dinner than.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman turns toward Dias. "And then after dinner, we go back to your place, right?" 6She gives him a chilling smile that he would recognize from a certain blonde with an attitude. She leans in closer. "And maybe you'll show me why business with you is so profitable?"
* Seraphna tilts her head, curious as she sees such a smile.
* Dias shudders briefly. 1"Creepy smile...But we could always goto your place instead."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just mumbles something about engines.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman smiles even more, putting her arms around Dias' shoulders, leaning her face closer to his. "And what do you have in mind?"
* Dias smiles a cocky smile and he leans in, whispering into her ear.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman suddenly flips Dias onto the ground, forming a gun in her hand and aiming it at his head. People begin to move away from the two quickly. "If you ever say that line to me again, Dias, I'm going to think I didn't teach you any manners."
* Dias blinks then looks at the woman. 1"Zephyr?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr removes the sunglasses. She appears to be a 23 year old woman these days.
* Seraphna nearly drops the carton.
* Dias suddenly hops up, sliding around her gun and giving her a big hug
<Dias> Holy crap does milk do a body good.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a noise. "If you're feeling me up, I'll shoot you."
* Seraphna walks over slowly, staring.
<Dias> No you won't...6Suddenly pauses. 1"I sense great evil.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That would be your bimbo. 6She wedges herself free, appearing a bit stronger than before.
* Seraphna stops and sighs softly as Zephyr says that.
<Dias> My...what? 6He blinks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns toward Seraphna. She smiles at her.
* Dias follows Zephyr's gaze towards Sera, he just blinks. 1"Are you stalkign me?"
<Seraphna> "Looking good Zeph, last I saw you you looked around my percieved age."
<Dias> And what the hell did you do to my food?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, now you look like the baby of the family. That should suit you.
<Seraphna> "Well I am."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just keeps her smile.
* Seraphna hands him the carton.
<Seraphna> "It's a bit of a shame though."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is that right?
<Seraphna> "You don't seem innocent at all anymore."
* Dias takes it and begins munching in it as he watches the two, almost feeling the hate from them
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I haven't been innocent for a long time.
* Seraphna crosses her arms and sighs. "Too bad I guess."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't know. At least someone knows how to grow up.
<Seraphna> "Yep, hope you enjoy it."
* Dias continues shoving food in his mouth, he pauses as he begins pounding against his chest to help the food go down
* Seraphna is completely unphased, she actually seems to be pityingher.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just keeps her smile, completely unbothered.
* Seraphna looks to Dias, "So... you wanna do something?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts on her sunglasses. "You two have fun. Take care, little sis." 6She walks off.
* Dias mumbles something through his food filled mouth as he stares at Zephyr
* Dias swallows. 1"Bye Zeph!" He waves
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waves back at Dias as she walks off, never turning around.
* Seraphna smiles, "That food enough? Wanna get... what is it time for now... lunch?"
* Dias belches in response.
<Seraphna> "So more then."
* Dias blinks then glances at Serena's boobs then he taps his chin. 1"You know...I think Zephyr's got bigger boobs than you now.
<Seraphna> "Well, she's older."
<Dias> Hmmm? 6He looks over at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tinkers with the ship's engine.
* Seraphna sighs
* Dias eyes his empty box.
<Seraphna> "I don't know... she hates me, and it seems like nothing will ever change that."
<Seraphna> "Still hungry?"
<Dias> No...I think there's cat hair in it...
<Dias> Oh well...6He crushes the carton and tosses it into a garbage. He then begins twirling his chop sticks in his hand as he looks arond at people walking about.
* Dias eyes a mark and turns to move after them.
* Seraphna follows, nothing else to do.
* Dias bumps into someone he moves off.
* Dias stops by a kid sitting on a bench and hands him a 100 credits and walks off
* Seraphna blinks and watches him curiously.
* Dias moves off into the park
* Seraphna keeps follwoing him
* Dias seems to have disappeared from her site.
* Seraphna sighs and looks around.
* Dias swings down from a tree behidn Serena, his arms crossed. 1"You're following me like a lost puppy, why?"
* Seraphna blinks and makes a strange, if cute sound of surprise, "I-I... just wanted to... that's all..."
<Dias> Sounds creepy.
* Seraphna sighs and crosses her arms again, "It's not..."
<Dias> Yeah, yeah it kinda is. 6He scratches his cheek, looking at her upside down
<Seraphna> "Why...?"
<Dias> Because you weren't even talking to me, just following me....like one of those stalker people that everyone thinks I am, which i'm not, I just like to gain 1st hand knowledge on the person so I can better co...charm them.
<Seraphna> "I don't... Don't know what to say..."
<Dias> A loss of words. It normally happens to girls that gaze into my eyes.
<Seraphna> "I haven't gazed into them."
<Dias> Hmph. 6He crosses his arms and looks up...down.
<Seraphna> "Haven't needed to..."
* Seraphna looks down a little
* Dias begins swinging back and forth lightly. 1"So Xan says you're a real pro in bed."
<Seraphna> "I guess so..."
<Dias> You guess so? So you're not sure.
<Seraphna> "I've got a rep for it, don't I?"
<Dias> That's why I'm asking you personally, duh
<Seraphna> "I am... okay?"
* Seraphna looks down, beet red.
<Dias> Oh...6His voice is disinterested
* Seraphna sighs, "Don't like that I guess...?"
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
<Dias> Huh? Oh I was just thinking about how Xan get's to bang Erevis...6He sighs.
<Dias> Poor girl doesn't know even think about the kids...
<Seraphna> "She probably doesn't even really think about sex either."
<Dias> Everyone thinks about sex.
<Seraphna> "You'd be surprised..."
<Dias> No, No I wouldn't.
<Seraphna> "I umm..."
<Dias> You ummm...
* Seraphna looks down at her feet. "I like you..."
<Dias> Good, I know what happens when you hate someone. Eeeh. 6He just shudders
<Seraphna> "What happens...?"
<Dias> What happens when? 6He looks at her confused
* Xanatos whistles as he walks by Dias and Sera.
* Dias suddenly loses his fitting and slams into the sidewalk below, face first.
* Xanatos pauses and glances at Dias, he tilts his head and then keeps moving.
* Seraphna walks over and helps him up
<Seraphna> "A-Are you okay...?'
* Dias pops up, dazed. 1"Granny!"
* Seraphna sighs a bit
* Xanatos pulls his arms behind his head as he walks, whistling still.
<Seraphna> "Fine... whatever you wanna call me."
<Dias> So you wanna fuck? 6He looks at her.
<Seraphna> "Dias..."
<Dias> No.
<Seraphna> "I-I'm not interested in one night stands..."
* Dias suddenly recoils
<Seraphna> "It hurts too much..."
<Dias> I'm sorry, I saw Xanatos walk into a pole.
<Seraphna> "Oh..."
<Dias> What were you saying again?
* Xanatos has since made it to his house, he steps inside, shutting the door behind him.
<Seraphna> "I'm not interested in a one night stand... I'm looking for something a little more... regular..."
<Dias> Regular one night stands?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien bangs his head on his ship
<Seraphna> "No..."
<Dias> I'm not following.
<Seraphna> "I'm looking for a relationship... a boyfriend."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien bangs his head again
<Dias> Yeah, you still lost me.
<Seraphna> "...You don't understand what a relationship is...?"
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* Xanatos turns around and moves towards his room.
<Chad`Winters> No, John never taught me that word.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Seraphna> "Like... what he had going on with... Shiva..."
<Chad`Winters> Still not following ya.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien zaps himself.
<Seraphna> <Oh would you relax and not operate heavy machinery right now... I feel that!>
* Chad`Winters sits down handing Erevis a cup of tea. He glances around at the people moving about
* Seraphna flinches a little
* Xanatos pauses and looks to Chad. "Chad."
* Chad`Winters is outside.
<Seraphna> "I ummm... how do I explain it..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there, wearing her hair up in an elaborate popular Japanese hairstyle, and wearing a kimono. She sips her tea.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien catches on fire
* Chad`Winters nods to her hair. 1"Cute."
* Seraphna blinks, <Water! Put water on it!>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hands her two sock puppets
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 'Cute'? 6She glances upward.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dunks water on himself.
<Chad`Winters> You're hair. It's well done.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Arigato. 6She bows a bit, looking pleased despite herself.
<Chad`Winters> So how're things going with you?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is snooping in Chad's house instead of Chad.
<Chad`Winters> 6A large cannonball drops on Warren's head.
<Seraphna> <He's never going to get it Darien... so stop worrying.>
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is in Xan's house, thankfully.
<Chad`Winters> 6But misses since he's not in Chad's house
* Seraphna looks at the sockpuppets.
* Xanatos pauses and glances at Warren. "Yo."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts in response, eyeing Xan's love poems.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are well.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And you, Chad Winters?
<Xanatos> Find anything good?
<Chad`Winters> Very well, I've been able to find a good balance between work and my daughter finally.
<DeathStar> <Warren> They say people with special needs make good writers.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias has them have sex. 1"That's a relationship?"
<Seraphna> "Alright... ummm..."
<Seraphna> "No No..."
<Xanatos> Oh? I'm assuming this isn't the case though?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien, still wet, zaps himself on a spark plug.
<Seraphna> "Well yes... but not jut one night."
<Chad`Winters> Every night with the sexing.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: DIAS
<DeathStar> <Warren> *just grunts*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is good to hear. 6She sips her tea, holding the cup just perfectly.
* Xanatos moves over to his couch and sits down, releasing a yawn. "So how's Cheryl?"
<Seraphna> "Well, yes, every night, not just one... and they spend time together."
<Chad`Winters> You've got quite the tea drinking skill.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Moody. 6He flips through Xan's tax reports.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ....So they have sex all the time.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slips and hits his head again
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a tradition around here.
<Seraphna> <Oh calm down...>
<Xanatos> Hmmm. I imagine so. *he tilts his head* So, is it weird coming from the past and jumping ahead to this time? Or is it much of the same?
<Seraphna> "Well... sometimes... but they're... you know, good friends."
* Chad`Winters takes a drink of his tea, choosing to enjoy the taste and not bother himself with the formalities
<DeathStar> <Warren> I find that it has univerisal constants.
<Seraphna> "They can trust each other, and care if something goes wrong."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That fuck constantly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up and hits his head again
<Xanatos> Really? Like what?
<DeathStar> <Warren> As the universe falls into chaos as time passes, so too does your intelligence fall apart as you get older.
<Xanatos> Well there was that whole brain damage thing, ya know.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Whatever helps you sleep at night.
* Seraphna sighs and rubs her head a little. "Sure."
* Xanatos smirks. "Good to see that there isn't much a change in you."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait...you said something about spending time together...what's that mean?
<Chad`Winters> So how is Durran doing?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I remain a univerisal constant.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is happy.
<Chad`Winters> How quaint. How about you? Are you happy?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers this. "I am content."
<Xanatos> So. *he stands up* You've read all the reports on what you've missed out on, I assume?
<Seraphna> "You know, see movies, talk, go out for food, even just cuddling."
<Chad`Winters> I see...I hope you don't stay content too long, even water that's content goes stagnate after awhile.
<Seraphna> "The stuff you do to get most girls into bed, but it's not so much work anymore."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Talk?! 6He scoots back, eyeing her as if she just threatened his life.
<Seraphna> "We're talking right now."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you are saying I will go stale? 6She tilts her head.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hmm.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh my god! 6He hops up and turns to run and slams into the tree, causing him to stumble about
<Chad`Winters> If you choose to just remain...content you will.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers this.
<Xanatos> I'm curious. What do you think of where I am right now. Before, you were always there to keep me in line, and since the other you died, I was just curious if I've been handling things right.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I believe you're far beyond needing me to tell you if you're right or wrong.
* Seraphna gasps a little and catches his fall, "You okay...?"
<Chad`Winters> Dias grabs Sera's boob as she catches him.
* Xanatos rubs his chin. "I guess i'll take that as a good thing." he shrugs and moves towards the kitchen. "You want a beer?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
* Seraphna blushes hard. "Guess so..."
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair as he takes another sip. 1"This peace...it's beautiful."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Does peace make you content? 6She asks wryly, sipping her tea.
* Xanatos grabs a beer out of the fridge and pops it open, taking a swig. He steps back in, "I'm telling you, it's a weird thing to be happy for once. I'm still getting used to it."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Is that correct?
<Chad`Winters> No, it makes me happy.
<Xanatos> Yeah. I just figure sooner or later something will happen. It generally always does.
* Seraphna checks his face gently for any injuries.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods slowly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Most likely she'll break up with you as soon as you become annoying. Then you expectations shall be met.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks up at Serena. 1"You're creeping me out."
<Xanatos> Hmm. Maybe. I'll probably need to learn to not be annoying then. Any tips? *he tilts his head, smirking*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Don't talk.
* Xanatos nods. "I'll keep that in mind. It works wonders for you, after all."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Apparantly.
<Chad`Winters> So what have you been upto lately?
<Xanatos> I was wondering. How did my past self and Erevis get along?
<Seraphna> "Sorry... just making sure you're not too hurt..." *she takes her gentle fingers away*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been studying ancient Japanese arts and traditions. And what makes turkey special.
<Chad`Winters> Turkey? 6He pauses then just groans in response.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren studies him. "Trying to find a way to spice up your relationship?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shakes his head and stands up, dusting himself up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is wrong?
* Xanatos shrugs. "I just wondered how she would react to the way I used to be. All girl crazy."
<Chad`Winters> It's nothing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She attempted to kick your ass, if I recall.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies him, not looking like she believes it, but not willing to call him a liar.
* Seraphna sighs, "So... wanna get lunch?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien jams his finger.
* Xanatos smirks. "I see. I guess I probably shouldn't act like my old self then."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Girls do hate egotistical people.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Do I get to have sex afterwords?
* Xanatos finishes his beer and tosses it into the trash. "You and Cheryl do anything for Valentines day...or is it not like that?"
<Seraphna> "Maybe... isn't that half the thrill?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hmph.
<Xanatos> Hmph? Well, I guess I really didn't excpect a reply.
<Chad`Winters> Not really. 6He claps his hands together. 1"Look, I'm only in it for non-committal sexcapades granny.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then why waste the time asking?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Xanatos> I figure'd you might surpise me. *he moves over and pulls out a book* Before, I was working on this. I was going to show it to the warren of this time but things happened. So I wanted to show it to you, I guess I wanted to see what you thought of it.
<Chad`Winters> So what have you and Durran have planned for yourselves?
* Seraphna sighs, "...Could you call me Sera?"
* Xanatos reaches it out towards him. "It's about everything that has happened to the group."
<Xanatos> As you can see, it's unfinished, since our story isn't over yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes it, flipping it open and looking down at it
<Chad`Winters> Why?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Xanatos> It could probably use some good editing.
<Seraphna> "I... don't really like being called Granny..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos Durran plans to take a job as security on PAX3.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mmmmm. 6He flips a page.
* Chad`Winters takes a sip then suddenly coughing inbetween. He quickly covers his mouth with his forearm, his sweatshirt pulling back and revealing his tact suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies him. "Are you alright?"
<Chad`Winters> Just surprised by Durran's stupidity.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Stupidity?
* Chad`Winters looks at Erevis. 1"Are you going with him?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods slowly, already having gotten to the point where Chad is thinking.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sure. Scouts honor. 6He makes the scout's honor symbol.
* Xanatos crosses his arms. "So...just how horrible is it?"
<Chad`Winters> And you're sure this is a smart decision?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing, flipping another page.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<Chad`Winters> This is going to be bothersome to say the least.
* Seraphna smiles, "Good, now lunch, I'm buying. Where you wanna go?"
* Xanatos just waits, knowing Warren will definitely let him know what he thinks.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well there's a good ram...Wait what time is it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sips her tea, not saying anything.
* Seraphna looks up, "Mmmm... around noonish."
* Chad`Winters finishes off his tea, setting it down on the table. 1"So, what intrigues you so much about Japanese culture.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is hard to explain. I like their sense of honor.
<Chad`Winters> Naturally. 6He nods to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren flips another page.
<Xanatos> ...well?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well what? 6He looks up.
<Xanatos> What do you think?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Crap...I'm gonna be late...6He begins looking around frantically
<DeathStar> <Warren> You expect me to judge your book based on 6 pages?
<Xanatos> ...yeah...good point. *he steps over to the wall to lean against* You could probably take it with you, if you wanted to read over the whole thing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very well. 6He closes the book and stands up.
<Seraphna> "Where do you need to go?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uhhh...shady seeded type stuff...Oh god...I gotta go. 6He panics than grabs her boob and turns, running off.
* Seraphna sighs and heads off in her own direction
<Chad`Winters> How's Ariel been?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She has some troubling situations to work out, but she is well.
<Xanatos> I know you don't do the mushy feelings crap, but it was good to see you.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good to see you not crushed to death either. Well, goodbye. 6Steps out.
* Chad`Winters nods in response.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her gaze, watching Seraphna walking around some distance away.
* Xanatos moves over and sits down, tilting his head up towards the ceiling.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What's the hurry? *he says to Dias as he comes past*
* Chad`Winters follows Erevis' gaze.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> GAH!! 6He slides to a stop. Then turns to keep moving and bumps into a stop sign.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis plays with her hair, switching to using one hand on the teacup. "How is young Aya?"
* Seraphna stops at a street sign, looking at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien mysteriously quits having so many accidents.
<Xanatos> *Marcus winces and steps up beside Dias. "What's up?"
<Chad`Winters> She's doing very well. Quite the attitude tho.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Attitude?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around, eyeing the time at a nearby store. 1"Damnt" 6He scowls as he stomps his foot.
<Xanatos> Late for something?
* Seraphna ducks her head in on Darien, "Want something for those bruises?"
<Xanatos> NRP: Marcus*
<DeathStar> <Darien> A mind wipe.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> .....Damn that vile woman. 6He scowls more.
<Seraphna> "Oh come on... it's not like I did anything with him."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Your thoughts on what you wanted to do were quite enough. 6He holds up a tool, adjusting some settings to the engine
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Vile...woman? *he blinks, a bit confused* Who?
<Seraphna> "...You've known my feelings for a while... but I'd never want to do those things if it was just some cheap fling."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Dias will never settle down. At least not for 15 more years
* Seraphna sits, sighing, "Yeah... I seem to be surrounded by men who are like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow. "That a general statement, or should I feel included?"
* Seraphna looks at him, "You tell me DS..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smirks, then adjusts some wires.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Marcus. 1"When the hell did you get here?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A few minutes ago.
<Chad`Winters> Yes, it appears you were right and I spoiled her too much already.
<Seraphna> "Why is it I keep getting this urge for a stable compainion..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly leaps back and slides into a fighting stance. 1"Why are you being so nice?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should discipline her and show her who is superior.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...because I already paid someone to kill you in a few months. Might as well be nice to you until you die.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have no idea.,
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Funny, since I know the people that would take a job like that and I pay better.
<Chad`Winters> She's got such a cute face tho.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> One's face should not matter. 6She says sternly.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Really? Considering that this isn't an assassin from this area of the world?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe. If I told you, you would seek this person or persons out. And why would I want you to do that?
<Chad`Winters> It's not that easy.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And why not?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly starts hopping back and forth, punching his fist into his open palm. 1"Oh hell yeah."
<Chad`Winters> She's the only thing I truely have that reminds me of Eve.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh hell yeah? *he tilts his head*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She pauses. "I do not believe Eve would want a spoiled daughter, however."
<Seraphna> "So....:
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes? 6He plugs in some things.
<Chad`Winters> Agreed, but it's hard.
<Seraphna> "Have you talked to Mom at all recently...?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ariel? Now and again.
<Seraphna> "How is she...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Chad. "I believe you will overcome the difficulty."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, I guess. Why not talk to her yourself?
* Cassandra` has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Chad`Winters> If only I could just pistol whip her into submission.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is a child, Chad Winters... 6She notes with concern.
<Seraphna> "Guess I should..."
<Chad`Winters> It was rhetorical.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is that?
<Chad`Winters> It pretty much means it's used for just added effect and not really meant to be answered or responded to
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm sure she'd like that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can expect a fight now. You're the best Marcus. 6He hops forward and hugs him tightly
<Xanatos> *Marcus tenses up, "Uhh...yeah, no problem.."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lets go. 1"Look, I feel bad about our little beef and all. Let me buy you lunch or something." 6He fishes out 100 credits and hands it to Marcus
<Seraphna> "So Darien... I guess this is a question to ask you too..."
<Xanatos> *Marcus eyes Dias. "You're only being nice to me to get me to let my guard down."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're full of questions. Which one do you want to ask?
<Seraphna> "I've been... looking through the memories..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nope. 6He holds the money out to him
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I appreciate it and everything. But you're death will make us even.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh well. 6He just pockets it.
<DeathStar> <Voice> That's your own money he's using to buy the lunch.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I figured. *he says, glancing toward the voice*
<Chad`Winters> Dias blinks then whistles, slowly turning.
<Seraphna> "You were a... what's the word..."
<DeathStar> 6* A 23 year old brunette stands there, wearing sunglasses and a long coat.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien still says nothing, cranking some knobs.
<Seraphna> "Reploid...?"
<DeathStar> <Woman> I could shoot you, Dias, before you could run.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is that what I was?
<Seraphna> "Was it? You seemed to be many things..."
<Xanatos> *Marcus eyes the woman, and then glances at Dias. "You know her?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias continues whistleing as he does a full 360, turning to face the brunette. 1"Oh come on."
<Seraphna> "At least you told people... even yourself..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's hot isn't she.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It doesn't matter what I was.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I was who I was.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman crosses her arms.
* Seraphna smiles, "And you're you now."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You got it. 6He smiles back.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...I have a feeling you're setting me up. But I can't get a good look at her with the sunglasses on.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman reaches up, pulling them off.
<Seraphna> "I seemed to like you both lives..."
<Seraphna> "Curious... I went looking to see who 'Sera' was..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And who was she?
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "You look familier..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's all bark and no bite.
<Xanatos> NRP: Marcus*
<Seraphna> "A flying cat... then a human girl..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cranks another knob.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I didn't really know her that well.
<Seraphna> "Might just be my perspective, but she looked up to you. Most of the memories concerning her you have are all..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just looks at her oddly. "I spent maybe 6 months around her."
<Seraphna> "Hmmm..." *she holds her head*
<Seraphna> "That's a lot of time."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It really isn't, kiddo.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But regardless. Yes, she is very attractive. I'm Marcus, and you are?
<DeathStar> 6* The woman studies Marcus, then Dias.
<Seraphna> "In my current lifetime... it is."
* Seraphna looks down.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's Eden.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien zaps himself, and he sucks his finger.
<Seraphna> "Your life gets fast when you'e lost twelve years."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wipes his hands, just listening.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Eden? Nice name. Sorry that you've had the misfortune of meeting Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman just stares at the two.
<Seraphna> "Then again, my memory is only a year shorter then my Dragoon siblings."
<DeathStar> <Woman> Wow.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs at Eden.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just glances back and forth between the two.
<DeathStar> <Woman> A garden? That's the best you could come up with?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Only something as fine as you could come out of that place.
<DeathStar> 6* She forms her gun, tapping it on her thigh
<DeathStar> <Darien> Everything is perspective, I imagine.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And what would you have gone with, hmm? 6He tilts his head at her.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *he narrows his eyes at she forms her guns* She's a dragoon...wait a minute?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Surely something more realistic.
<Xanatos> ZEPHYR!?
<Xanatos> NRP: MArcus*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hello, Marcus. 6She smiles.
<Seraphna> "She called me the baby..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fine next time I'll use a more 'realistic' name.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Aren't you the baby?
<Seraphna> "Well... yeah..."
<Xanatos> *Marcus rushes up to her to give her a hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien circles his ship. "Then you should be fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is crushed again. "Why are you both so much alike?"
<Chad`Winters> Dias suddenly glares at Zephyr.
<Xanatos> *Marcus jumps back and glares. "I was going to say how great you look, but now i'm insulted."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You both look insulted the same way.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods at them.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh you heartless...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Go on. Finish that.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ....how'd you...well...you figured out how to grow older?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's all in the coding.
<Chad`Winters> Dias stares at Zephyr defiant. 1"Evil person."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Awesome. Feel any different?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives Marcus an odd look.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She feels squishier.
* Seraphna looks down, "Yeah I guess I am..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> But you don't sound it.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I didn't mean physically.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What the hell kind of question is that? Do you feel any different?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just stares at them both. "I feel taller."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A damn good one, now shut up, I haven't got to talk to Zephyr in ages, so don't go ruining it.
<Seraphna> "Regrets."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pfft, go hump a fire hydrant.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, regrets are a waste of time.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms, eyeing the both.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A fire hydrant? Jesus, you're so intelligent. *he shakes his head and then slides up beside Zephyr, measuring to see how tall she is compared to him*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> This is so awesome.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So did you catch the guy you were trailing? 6He looks at her
<Seraphna> "Yeah... won't fix anything I guess..."
<Seraphna> "So... you know my plans... I've just come across a problem..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> What problem?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares at Marcus, raising a brow.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are you measuring my cup size...?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I bet the only thing screaming through his head is that you're legal right now.
<Seraphna> "Kid needs a father, at least, for the biological part."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Something tells me most guys didn't care to begin with. 6She says dryly.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No. *he glances at Dias* And no.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So you want Dias to be the father?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I did. 6He raises his hand
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She looks Dias over.
<Seraphna> "No."
<Seraphna> "I really don't know who."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You know he didn't.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, right, I wasn't the proper size to match your taste before. I forgot. 6She rolls her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Proper...size?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm sure you'll meet someone.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So Zeph, how is work?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's keeping me busy. 6She smiles, bouncing to face Marcus like a little girl, but it looks odd with her current body
<DeathStar> 6* Darien polishes a spot on the wing.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *Smiles at her* That's great. It seems everybody has grown up and forgot about me. *he makes a fake sad face*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sure Dias will never forget about you
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I wish he would.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares down at his toes as he wiggles them.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aww. That's too bad.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey Zeph, I got 10 toes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's wonderful, Dias. Count your fingers now.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias holds his hands out and begins counting his fingers
<Xanatos> *Marcus smirks again. "So you ever have any free time anymore? I haven't seen you in how long, 3 months?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I really don't. I spend time with Aya sometimes after work, but free time is a thing of the past.
<Chad`Winters> 12...No 9...Wait...do I count my thumbs?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Xanatos> *Marcus nods, "I understand. It's a shame really, I miss hanging out with you."
* Seraphna sighs and sits back, "Yes... guess..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles. "That's sweet. You found anymore jobs?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I've been doing a part time waiter job. But other than that...not really. Most of the people in charge of the military know me, and wont hire me. Something about being a wimp, I dunno. *he smirks*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I use the term coward. 6He chimes in.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glares at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> Dias glares back.
<Seraphna> "Mmmm...? Oh... guess I'm getting sleepy..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's a cot in the ship if you want to sleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glares more.
<Chad`Winters> Dias takes a step forward, effectively putting his foot down on the subject
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him, then smiles pleasantly. "Well, I got to run. You boys have fun." 6She puts her sunglasses on and walks off.
<Chad`Winters> Dias smiles, waving at her as she walks away. 1"Bye beautiful!"
<Xanatos> *Marcus blinks and holds his hand up to wave. "Come by and see me sometime!"
<Seraphna> "Mmmhmm... kay..." *She sits back a little more, nodding off*
<Xanatos> *Marcus pauses and eyes Dias waving. "...I hate you." he turns and walks off.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The cot is...you know, inside the ship..
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs and walks over, picking her up.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I hate me too...6He pulls out Marcus' money and begins counting it
* Seraphna blushes slightly, "I can... zz... that is..." *she's remarkably light*
<Xanatos> * It's not really enough to be proud of.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks in, lays her on the cot, throws a blanket over her, and goes back to working on the controls.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> God he sucks at his job....

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070716.log'
<DeathStar> Month 4, Week 2
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
* Seraphna is once again in front of a shop, eyeing kimonos.
<DeathStar> 6* The kimonos eye her back.
* Seraphna sighs and considers them, they taunt her.
<DeathStar> 6* Some ways down the street, Erevis steps out of a store with some Japanese trinkets. Her hair, today, is in a ponytail. A long, long ponytail, since her hair is so long. She wears a gold locket around her neck, and a kimono, as is usual for her these days
* Seraphna turns and walks down the street, heading right for her, not even noticing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and walks away from Sera, not having noticed her.
* Seraphna checks her datapad, seeing she's late for something, she quickens her pace.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along calmly.
* Seraphna looks up and eeps as she runs into some long haired girl from behind.
* Kit has joined #taw
* Seraphna blinks, she swiftly moves, catching her before she falls. "Sorry!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts herself. "Do not worr--" 6She just stops and eyes Sera.
* Seraphna blinks and goes a bit pale, seeing who she's holding.
<Seraphna> "...Uhh... h-hi..."
* Seraphna helps her stand and steps back a little.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello, Serena Cran. 6She nods her head, then turns to move on.
<Seraphna> "Wait..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, glancing at her.
<Seraphna> "W-We should talk..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We have nothing important to discuss. 6She corrects her easily, turning to go.
<Seraphna> "Yes we do."
<Seraphna> "This... this void between us... we need to talk about this."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Seraphna> "Look... what I did was wrong. I'm sorry. I don't know what I could ever do to make up for it..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I accept your apology. 6She nods her head, still very uncomfortable. "I should go."
<Seraphna> "...I need to make this right..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds in her breath, then lets it out in one quick burst. "I do not remember the said incident, so I do not see why it should be a problem."
<Seraphna> "It is, at least to you, I can see it in your body language Erevis..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I simply do not understand.
<Seraphna> "You're uncomforterable around me. You have good reason to not trust me and I want to earn that trust back."
<Seraphna> "Because... you're my friend... and you're important to Mom..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "I still don't understand."
<Seraphna> "What don't you understand...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks more uncomfortable than before, a bit annoyed.
* Seraphna stops, looking down.
<Seraphna> "I-I'm sorry... g-go if you want... I make you uncomforterable..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not understand why you would do.. what you did. It makes no sense.
<Seraphna> "Oh..."
<Seraphna> "Honestly? I don't know."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh...
<Seraphna> "I loved him, I didn't see anything else but that at the moment."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He was...not in his body...
Session Close: Tue Jul 17 00:00:00 2007

Session Ident: #taw
<Seraphna> "It was more then a matter of bodies..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ..
<Seraphna> "He was... he was the man I loved back from the dead..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And the fact he was using this body meant nothing?
<Seraphna> "At that moment, no... it really didn't. I won't lie to you. Afterwards I knew it was wrong, what he'd done was wrong..."
<Seraphna> "But... at that moment I only saw him... I was greedy..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing for a moment. "He was not even in a male body."
<Seraphna> "But even now you refer to the him in that moment as a he."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You were doing so.
<Seraphna> "Did you ever think of him as a woman?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was not around to think of him as anything.
<Seraphna> "Right... he supressed you that much..."
* Seraphna sighs
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rubs her throat
<Seraphna> "I guess it's hard to explain..."
<Seraphna> "I... I just didn't think really... I'd been apart from him for what felt like forever."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just nods once. "Very well."
<Seraphna> "Have you... ever been in love?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Seraphna> "You... you can feel emotions right...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Seraphna> "Like... not internally, other peoples."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If I desired to feel them, I can do so.
* Seraphna sighs that mute sound again, "Can I show you the feeling I'm speaking of...? Maybe it'll help you understand?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No thank you. 6She says quickly.
* Seraphna nods, "I understand..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to rub her throat, her hands playing with the locket a bit as well.
<Seraphna> "Erevis... I would never do anything to hurt you... I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I accept your apology.
<Seraphna> "What can I do to make you feel better?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is nothing you can do.
* Seraphna does't look too solid herself, she's grasping at straws.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should not concern yourself, Serena Cran. I am not injured.
<Seraphna> "I'm still ashamed of my actions."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe you.
<Seraphna> "Can we... ever be friends again...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to be friends.
<Seraphna> "I do... very much."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then we are friends. 6She says it simply.
* Seraphna wipes her eye, she's crying a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains stoic, though she seems to look uncomfortable again when Sera gets teary eyed.
<Seraphna> "S-So... where are you going...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was returning to the hotel room where I am residing.
<Seraphna> "That has to be expensive..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<Seraphna> "You don't know...? Aren't they charging you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Darien Starr has used the money I earned on PAX 2 to pay the charges for me.
<Seraphna> "He would... look... it's not going to last forever, maybe I can help you get a proper home?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That will not be necessary. I will not be on Earth much longer.
* Seraphna seems to improve as she starts working to help someone.
<Seraphna> "Yeah... you'll be on PAX right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to relax when Sera stops asking personal questions. "Yes."
<Seraphna> "Do you have a job there?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Seraphna> "Would you like one?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have no desire to be in any military organizations.
<Seraphna> "Actually... this would be nonmilitary."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just raises a brow.
<Seraphna> "When I was off duty in the past, I started a company, Omega Enterprises, electronic goods, applications, etc... a shop and office up there would be good for business."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know how to sell things. I will pass.
<Seraphna> "You can hire some people to do that for you. You'd be a liason, basically representing the company... to cut it straight... I'd be helping support you up there."
<Seraphna> "I'd be more then happy to teach you to sell."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I think you should find someone more suited.
<Seraphna> "Ere... you're a good looking woman with a pleasent demenor and you're trustworthy, I can't find a better salesperson if I genetically created one."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not interested. I am sorry.
* Seraphna sighs softly. "Alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances downward, saying nothing.
<Seraphna> "I just know you're the type who would rather pull her weight then be a burden on anyone... I wanted to give you that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you are saying it is ... dishonorable if I do nothing on the station.
<Seraphna> "Well... no... I don't know really. Worried more you'd come to feel that way."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains eerily silent as she closes her eyes
<Seraphna> "Besides... it's the very least I could do for a comrade."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. I will sell your items.
<Seraphna> "Alrighty... I haven't taken a day off since we got here... I'm sure I can get some time to teach you sales... when you can sell this military board on billion credit machines... you can sell anything..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, keeping a distinct neutral face.
<Seraphna> "And with that poker face you'll rake in deals."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am...raking?
<Seraphna> "...Right... tech you the terminology too."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just stares, looking slightly frustrated
<Seraphna> "What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I simply do not understand anything you are saying.
* Seraphna blushes
<Seraphna> "In time you will... it's always good to learn new things, right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is believed so.
<Seraphna> "One thing you need to teach me though."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am teaching you?
<Seraphna> "Yes, how do you wear one of those?"
* Seraphna looks at her kimono.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... You put it on.
<Seraphna> "I ummm... have trouble with the waist sash... it's a strange knot..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She begins to undo it
<Seraphna> "Whoa! Wait!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What?
* Seraphna moves to stop her.
<Seraphna> "Not here, we're in public."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was only going to to demonstrate the sash.
<Seraphna> "Doesn't that like... hold the robe together though?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Seraphna> "Right... let's try a dressing room... in a store. You can help me put one on."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish.
* Seraphna looks at the kimonos again... her enemies.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-586.6.4 (June 4th)
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* A man wearing a business suit quickly runs through the back alleys of some of the buildings. He pauses to lean against the wall, taking deep, ragged breaths as he looks around in fear. After a moment, he runs forward again when suddenly a plasma blast catches him in the back of his head, throwing him forward until he hits the ground, dead.
<DeathStar> 6* On one of the roofs, a brunette woman in her mid-twenties lowers her sniper rifle. Standing up, she can be seen wearing a military tact suit of unknown design. Having the rifle vanish, she begins to turn to go when her beeper goes off. Pulling out the beeper, the woman glances down at a beeper with child stickers all over it, and sees a number that says 911. "Shit! She's in labor!"
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo Hospital
<DeathStar> 6* The waiting area of the hospital's baby floor is crowded with people. In the background, the TV is talking about the death of an assistant of a Senator.
* Chad`Winters shifts Aya around in his arms as he leans against a wall. Dias bounces around overly impatient.
* Seraphna sits in a chair, her eyes locked on a datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is in the actual room with Cheryl, who's on the bed, being told to watch her breathing. <Doctor> You can hold her hand, sir. <Cheryl> Yes, Warren. 6She says with a bitter sound. "Hold my hand, dear." 6* Warren narrows his eyes at her hand. His enemy.
* Chad`Winters glances over at the TV his eyes watching it.
<DeathStar> 6* The reports talk about how the man was found shot in the back alleys. No other details are available.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins looking around then begins sneaking off where Cheryls room is at.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr busts into the waiting area, wearing a tight black shirt that shows off her chest, and jeans. "Am I late?"!
<Seraphna> "Baby isn't born yet."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses to catch her breath.
<Chad`Winters> You're right on time Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers around as he slides upto the door casually.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks over and kicks Dias in his ass.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> AHHH! 6He scowls as he begins rubbing his ass. 1"That's not fair!"
* Seraphna shakes her head and sighs, not even looking.
<Setsuna`> Em> *peeks into the waiting area. Wondering if she's allowed to be here. She still thinks of Cheryl as extended family, but...*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns, giving Em a smile. "Hey, Em!" 6She calls over, motioning her to come in.
* Seraphna looks up and smiles to see Em.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But I wanna see how a babies born.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You really don't.
<Setsuna`> Em> *looks a little startled by Zephyr, but nods and enters* "...how's she doing?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It can't be that bad.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks over to Em, ignoring Dias. "I imagine she's breaking Warren's hand."
* Seraphna giggles mutely.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out into the waiting area, holding his hand. He mutters darkly as he walks off to find ice.
<Seraphna> "She'll be fine."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Warren step out then he begins sliding towards the door again.
<DeathStar> 6* A doctor goes flying out the door
<Setsuna`> Em> *ducks the doctor*
* Seraphna looks up at the doctor.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks.
<Chad`Winters> Hey Zephyr, you heard anything about this Senator's assistant that got murdered?
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor moans.
<Seraphna> "I do hope the doctors survive, though."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chad, we're here to welcome a baby into the world.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl can be heard threatening bodily harm if the person with the shot isn't found.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks. 1"Wow, she must be pissed. I wonder if the babies kicking her ass."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr. 1"Right, sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor tries to crawl away to safety, but Warren, having returned, simply grabs his coat and drags him back in
<DeathStar> 6* The last thing Dias would see is the doctor's pleading face.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just gives him a thumbs up. 1"Kick that babies ass Doc!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr clears her throat.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, how is everyone? It's so rare for us all to get together.
<Seraphna> "Same old, same old."
<Chad`Winters> I doubt she meant you. 6He says apathetically as he watches the Tv.
<Setsuna`> Em> "Same old? How can you say that? There's been no shooting. No global or universal threats..."
* Seraphna puts down the datapad, sitting back, her hair is tied back into a pony tail, the streakes of blue prominent, presently in a t-shirt and jeans herself, a white shirt however.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr never glances toward the TV
<Seraphna> "You haven't been to my testing sites."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias claps his hands together. 1"I'm bored, is the baby born yet?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> no.
<Seraphna> "When the sounds of the doctor's agony ends."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's the doctors? I thought that was Warrens.
<Seraphna> "...Both."
<DeathStar> 6* The sound of a scream can be heard. It doesn't sound like cheryl.
<Seraphna> "I see she's still working on it."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That must be Warren screaming for mercy.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You should go offer your hand to Cheryl so Warren can take a break.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ok. 6He turns to move in.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr doesn't move to stop him.
* Seraphna doesn't either.
<Chad`Winters> Dias opens the door then steps inside.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's nice to further his education.
* Seraphna sighs, "So when we write the report, we say his wounds were self inflicted?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes running out of the room and slams the door shit, leaning against it. 1"OH MY FUCKING GOD! WHY THE HELL IS THE BABY COMING OUT OF HER LOVE CANAL?!"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Shut
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr laughs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' face is pale and he shakes slightly. 1"I...I...GAH!! How the...I mean..I just..."
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head at Dias. He glances down at Aya. 1"You hear that, your cousin' going to be born soon."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You just what? 6She rocks back, like she did when she was younger, a grin on her face.
<Setsuna`> Em> "......" *stares*
<DeathStar> <Aya> Did I come out of a love canal?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes away from the door, shaking himself as if he's dirty. 1"I don't think I can look at that place in the same way again..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sure your groupies are sad to hear that. 6She glances at Sera, smiling pleasantly.
<Chad`Winters> You could say that.
<Setsuna`> Em> "...Zephyr. I think these people scare me."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks down at his crotch. A look of pity on it.
* Seraphna looks at Zephyr oddly. As if looking at someone on drugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just smiles, turning to Em. "It's okay. They're harmless."
<Chad`Winters> We both take offense to that. 6He bounces Aya to include her.
<Seraphna> "Mostly, anyways."
<DeathStar> 6* The sounds of pain and torture finally cease in the other room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances over at Serena's love canal then shudders.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Remind me to stick to anal only from now on.
<Seraphna> "Don't worry Dias, mine can't do that."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a disgusted look.
<Setsuna`> Em> "...I'm more scared now."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Em.1"It's my Em, I was in your body before!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out, holding a something in a blanket, cradling it in his arms.
<Seraphna> "Em? Are you having memory problems? I practically lived with you for a while."
<Setsuna`> Em> *goes teary eyed* "Don't remind m-Baby." o.o
* Seraphna blinks and looks over.
* Seraphna stands.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up, smiling at Em and walks over to her so she can see. "His name is Benjamin."
* Chad`Winters turns to looks over at Warren. 1"You survived.
<Seraphna> "Little Ben..." *she walks over for a closer look*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bah, I still think you should have tamed him Tank.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cooes and leans in to look, not even minding Sera anymore.
<Setsuna`> Em> "He's adorable..."
* Chad`Winters pushes off the wall and walks over to Warren. 1"Do you wanna see your baby cousin, Aya?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Awww, look at his little face.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods eagerly.
* Seraphna smiles, "Such a sweet little thing, isn't he?"
<Chad`Winters> How do we act around babies again, Aya? 6He looks at her as he stops beside Warren.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He's got your stern look, Warren.
<DeathStar> <Aya> We make noises and smile at them!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren huffs once.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Clearly he knows how to act.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias opens the door to Cheryls room slowly, peering in cautiously
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays on the bed, relaxing.
<Chad`Winters> Good. 6He holds Aya out infront of him to see Ben.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers down.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes the sign of the cross and moves inside. 1"He...Hey"
<Chad`Winters> This is your cousin Ben. Say hi.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hi, Dias. 6She chirps happily
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hiiii! 6She waves her hand at him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...That must've hurt like hell...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like having an alien rip out of you
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly goes pale as the image appears in his head.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren. 1"Congrats, now the real fun begins."
<DeathStar> 6* A male nurse pushes a medical tray past dias, putting it up near him and Cheryl, then steps out again. Quickly. Cheryl's rep must have proceeded her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> 'Fun'?
* Seraphna smiles and stands back a bit. "Oh yes, fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lets Em hold Ben for a moment
<Chad`Winters> I guess I'm not sure how the first 6 months go...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then you should avoid head injuries in future cases.
* Seraphna goes in and checks on Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> Dias just shudders then plops down in a chair by her. 1"I brought you something."
<DeathStar> 6* As Seraphna begins to step in, the tray explodes, blowing the room up and sending her flying backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Zephyr turn at the same moment.
* Chad`Winters snaps his head over towards the door. 1"What the..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cheryl! 6He pushes into the smoke filled room, feeling the heat of flames.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes to move forward, when she turns to eye the TV, talking about an explosion at an apartment complex. "That's where Marcus lives."
* Chad`Winters shifts Aya around in a more protective position. He quickly moves over to the fire emergency and pulls it.
* Seraphna groans, standing slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Water begins to fall down. Warren vanishes from sight into the room.
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr. 6He shoves Aya towards her.
<Setsuna`> Em> *holds the baby protectively as Warren runs off. Just staring*
* Seraphna moves towards where Cheryl was, "Sis... where are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr doesn't take the baby. She quickly is running out of the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares wide eyed and Ben begins to cry.
* Chad`Winters eyes her then scowls, he tenses up not willing to go into the room with Aya in his hands. 1"It'll be ok Aya, everythings fine."
* Seraphna feels around, "Cheryl???"
<Setsuna`> Em> *snaps out of it, and goes to take Ben some place safer* "Shh..." *tries to project peaceful emotions to the baby*
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna finds Dias unconscious on the ground, having taken most of the hit.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren helps Cheryl to her feet. "I got her, Crazy Dragoon girl."
* Seraphna bends down, checking Dias' pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* He's alive.
<Seraphna> "Good... get her to safety. WE NEED HELP IN HERE!" *she calls out for some medical help... in a hospital*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren helps Cheryl out of the room. Doctors are already in on their way, checking over Dias' wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl coughs, sitting down, holding her head. "What the hell?"
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl, thank god.
* Chad`Winters looks at Warren. 1"And Dias?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't know.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors help Dias out, who looks pretty bad off.
* Seraphna looks to the doctors, "Is there anything I can do?"
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors just get Dias to the ICU room instead of answering
* Chad`Winters eyes Dias then moves over to Cheryl, kneeling down as he looks her over.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks fine. Seems the blast radius didn't quite reach her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Dias is lucky he was near Cheryl's bed, I think.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances back at the room.
* Chad`Winters just grunts in response. 1"I never got a good look at the male nurse..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I doubt it would have mattered. A disguise, most likely.
<Chad`Winters> ...Camera's.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Disabled, most likely.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren considers something. "Why plant a bomb when Dias was in the room?"
* Seraphna comes out and sighs, a few wounds of her own closing over rapidly. "He's alive anyways..."
<Chad`Winters> Awhile back, someone was killing off people. He may be trying again.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Who?
<Setsuna`> Em> *Stays away from the scene of the accident... not a place for the baby to be*
<DeathStar> 6* Em, all alone now, would notice a male nurse walking past her.
<Chad`Winters> ...Em. Get to Em now Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Why?
<Seraphna> "Where's the baby?"
<Chad`Winters> It's Xevil. 6He hands him Aya and turns moving off to where Em left.
<DeathStar> 6* The male nurse suddenly aims a gun at Em's head and begins to pull the trigger.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out a comm set, putting it in his ear. "General Arakawa. We have a situation at the hospital. Send some military personnel over. We think Xevil is attacking."
<Seraphna> "Warren? Where is Ben." *she looks around*
<Setsuna`> Em> *ducks... and kicks him in the groin*
<DeathStar> <Warren> With Em. 6He shoves Aya into Sera's hands and runs.
<DeathStar> 6* The male nurse dodges, firinga shot at the baby.
* Seraphna holds Aya, "Hey there dear."
* Cassandra` mobilises mobilises a squad of specialized anti-ttsiv troops along with an anti-terrorist unit for backup, giving an eta of a few minutes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren realizes how much he hates hospitals.
<Setsuna`> Em> *is shot in the side, and throws herself into the nearest room*
* Chad`Winters turns down a hallway, sprinting at full speed.
<DeathStar> 6* The nurse reaches and pulls out a grenade, arming it and throwing it into the room. He runs, shooting a window, and diving out of it
<DeathStar> 6* Warren runs after Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade goes off.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad would see a room exploding in front of him
* Chad`Winters slides to a stop, his hands going infront of him. 1"Oh god no..."He dashes into the room, running through the flames and the smoke.
* Seraphna hears another explosion, putting her hands gently over Aya's ears so she doesn't have to hear.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya falls once Sera stops holding her
<Setsuna`> Em> *did her best to shelter the baby from the explosion*
* Seraphna is still holding her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters the room a moment later, spotting Em. "Jesus."
<Chad`Winters> Call the medics down here Warren. 6He quickly moves over to Em and slowly rolls her over.
* Seraphna has hips and arms, after all.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his comm, getting medics.
<Setsuna`> Em> *managed to shield herself from the shrapnel and concussion... but she's been burnt pretty badly*
<DeathStar> 6* Ben is heard crying again
<DeathStar> 6* Warren kneels down. "Em, are you okay?" 6He takes Ben from her.
<Chad`Winters> Em...6He slides his hand down to her neck checking for a pulse.
* Seraphna looks around, desciding to stay where she is, not having anyone to hand Aya off to.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is there. And about to go herself. Despite having gone through labor.
<Setsuna`> Em> "...is Ben alright...?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> He's fine. You did good.
<Chad`Winters> I don't see anything broken, I'm gonna pick you up. You ready?
* Seraphna holds Aya and looks at her, "You okay kiddo?"
<Cassandra`> 6* *Power armored troopers fall from the sky on to the hopital's roof and on to the street surrounding the building from an air assault vehicle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts, unable to get up. "Give her to me and go check on them."
<Setsuna`> Em> *nods* "...sorry for being so stupid..."
* Seraphna hands her over, "Alright."
* Seraphna heads over, forming a gun in one hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds Aya
<Chad`Winters> You did fine Em. 6He kneels down and scoops her up, then picks her up in his arms. He nods to Warren and starts walking out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren follows, putting a hand to his comm. "Once you secure the building, let me know."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren balances Ben in the other.
* Seraphna stops as Chad walks by her, "She going to be alright?"
* Chad`Winters just grunts in response and turns, moving towards ICU
<DeathStar> <Warren> Wait, where's Zephyr?
<Cassandra`> 6* The area is swept, scans looking for a Tsivirxsh biosignature as the troops secure the area.
<Chad`Winters> She went after Marcus...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Where's he at?
* Seraphna blinks, looking around, "Did she? Why?"
* Chad`Winters rattles off his address.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, touching his comm. "Arakawa, we have another possible hit going on at the following address." 6He rattles it off."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hands Ben to Sera, then hurries to the roof.
<Chad`Winters> Get a team there right away Warren. 6It's obvious he's worried and he moves around a corner nudging his comm in his ear with his shoulder. 1"Zephyr, do you read me?"
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
<DeathStar> 6* Ben cries louder in Sera's arms.
* Chad`Winters curses as he moves into ICU. 1"I've got a victim"
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors look up from Dias, and some hurry over to check on Em
* Chad`Winters moves over to a bed and sets her down.
* Cassandra` deploys troops to the address.
<Setsuna`> Em> "...give me the owwie killer, doc..."
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors cut off Em's clothes.
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Warren, can you get us a shuttle?
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> I'm getting the ship that the troops jsut landed on. Head to the roof.
* Seraphna cradles Ben, trying to calm him.
<Chad`Winters> <C> Meet me at the ICU floor south side window. 6He begins movign towards it
<DeathStar> 6* Warren arrives at the roof, pulling out an ID and showing it to the troops. "I'm the Supreme General. I'm taking this assault shuttle. I want two of you with me. The rest of you, keep the hospital secured."
<Setsuna`> Em> "....." *waits for her painkillers*
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors give her some painkillers, then begin to treat her wounds.
* Chad`Winters slides over to the window and unlocks it, quickly opening it. He climbs out of it and hooks his foot around the window base as he leans out, waiting for Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps onto the shuttle, pulling on a headset and sitting down in the co-pilot seat.. "We're stopping by the window on the south side of the ICU floor."
<Cassandra`> <Trooper> Yes, sir.
* Chad`Winters pulls his shirt off, revealing his new tact suit. He flicks a knife into his hand and cuts his pants off, revealing the bottom half of his suit.
* Alicia has joined #TAW
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus
* Marcus is now known as Marcus`
<Cassandra`> 6* The troops board the assault shuttle with Warren, setting a course toward the next target zone while the troops on the ground secure the hospital and surroundings.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren makes sure the trooper flies by the window
* Seraphna heads back to Cheryl.
* Chad`Winters leaps onto the ramp landing in a kneel. 1"Go now."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is living out another boring day in front of his TV
* Marcus` scratches himself and yawns. "Man. TV is so lame these days.
<DeathStar> 6* The TV explodes and takes out his entire apartment
<DeathStar> 6* Time passes and Marcus would wake up outside his flaming apartment
* Marcus` growns, sliding a hand up to his head. "Holy shit...that was one pissy TV."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits beside him.
* Marcus` blinks and glances at Billy. "Uhh...B-billy?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hops on Marcus' lap, looking down at his face. "I saved your life. You owe me."
<Marcus`> I do? *He rubs his head again* It couldn't have just been an act of good will?
<DeathStar> <Billy> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to drag him back toward the flaming apartment
<Marcus`> Ok ok! I owe you.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lets him go, then hops on his lap again.
<Marcus`> What do I owe you?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Sex.
<Marcus`> WHAT1?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Sex. 6She repeats sternly.
<Marcus`> You're only a child though.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I---please move your head.
* Marcus` blinks and moves his head.
<DeathStar> 6* A plasma shot hits the ground where his head was at, blowing a hole in it.
<Marcus`> Jesus Christ!? How'd you know that would happen?
<DeathStar> 6* Six troopers in armor can be seen, raising their rifle. Billy sighs, an annoyed look on her face
<Marcus`> What's going on!? *He glances around frantically*
<DeathStar> 6* They open fire.,
<DeathStar> <Billy> They're trying to kill you. 6She says plainly, boredly.
* Marcus` winces and scrambles up, trying to get away.
<DeathStar> 6* The troopers pursue him.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hits the ground as he runs away
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lays there, as if patiently waiting for him to come back and get her.
* Marcus` snatches her up and puts her on his shoulder, he runs for the nearest alley.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Faster, slave man!
<Marcus`> I'm weak and slow, remember!? *he slides around a corner*
<DeathStar> 6* The alley is a dead end.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, you're doomed.
* Marcus` slides to a stop. "Oh crap. So it would seem."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Want a quickie before you die?
<Marcus`> I'd like to live first.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a motorcycle drives up, with a woman on it wearing a tact suit. She pulls off her helmet and Zephyr looks back. "Get on." 6She ducks a shot.
* Marcus` widens his eyes and hops on, wrapping his arms around her.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're saved. 6She chimes.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hands Marcus her helmet.
<Marcus`> Wait. Why do I get the helmet?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Because you're most likely to die from a shot to the head. 6She chimes.
<Marcus`> ...good point. *he puts it on*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr guns the motorcycle, driving away as the troopers fire.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Also, it's less likely for you to remain on the bike by gripping her breasts.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... because I'll yank you off.
<Marcus`> I'm not...err oops. Sorry Zeph. *he moves his hands to her waist.*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances down over the side of the shuttle at the ruined apartment.
<Chad`Winters> The scanners picking up any life signs? 6He glances down.
<Cassandra`> <Trooper> I'm reading multiple armed combatants on the ground.
<Chad`Winters> Where? 6He clicks the safety off.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods at the trooper, then looks down. "I see them. They're getting a car."
<Chad`Winters> Alive or dead? 6Glances at Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We only need one.
* Chad`Winters shifts his stance and pulls his gun up, taking aim.
<DeathStar> 6* They get in the car and drive after a motorcycle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns a sharp corner, and Billy flaps in the air as she holds onto Marcus.
* Chad`Winters pulls the trigger twice firing a shot for the car's tires at it begins to drive.
<DeathStar> 6* The tires are taken out and the car swirves.
<Cassandra`> <Trooper> Stealth units are in the area and are moving to intercept as well.
* Chad`Winters readjusts his aim and fires several shots through the window as it swerves.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good. Once the car is stopped, ahve them secure it
<DeathStar> 6* The windows shatter. The car slams into a mailbox.
* Chad`Winters shifts his aim, waiting for something.
<Cassandra`> 6* Troops under optical camoflauge move into position around the crashed vehicle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops the motorcycle, then hops off it, running for the car.
<Chad`Winters> Get us down there now.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods. "Land the shuttle in the street."
* Chad`Winters suddenly opens his eyes, he taps his comm. 1"ZEPHYR, STAY AWAY FROM THE CAR."
* Marcus` moves after Zephyr.
<Cassandra`> 6* The other trooper brings the assault shuttle's gun into position, aiming to provide suppression fire if needed as the shuttle descends.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy plays with the motorcycle controls, driving around
<DeathStar> 6* The car suddenly explodes.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops, staring at the flaming car.
* Marcus` slides to a stop behind her.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy runs over a cat with wings in the background
<Cassandra`> <Trooper> *scans for survivors*
<DeathStar> 6* No survivors.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks over to the flaming wreckage and yanks out a charred body
<Marcus`> W...who were they?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls out a device, checking something.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, once the shuttle is low enough, hops out.
* Marcus` glances around frantically.
* Chad`Winters leaps out with Warren. He begins moving towards the wreckage
<Cassandra`> <TRooper> Negative life signs. Tag them and bag them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finishes her scan. "Tsivrixsh."
<Marcus`> The tsiv?
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra, Setsuna, Zephyr, Chad, and Warren are at a general meeting near the hospital some time later.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It would seem Xevil is sending hit men to follow up on his threat six months ago.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, his gun hanging from it's holster. 1"Any word from Darien and Terra?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy chases pedestrians with the motorcycle.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Darien's fine. No word on Terra.
<Setsuna`> Setsuna> "Someone tell me... why haven't we killed that bastard yet?"
<Cassandra`> He's holed himself up like a rat.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I plan to if I get the chance. Right now, I'm going to move Em, Dias, and Marcus to a secure area in the Special Ops.
<Setsuna`> Setsuna> "No no. Before that."
<Chad`Winters> We can only expect these attacks to continue on them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Dias won't like that very much.
<Chad`Winters> No, I'm sure he will. It'll get him worked up for another fight.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Months in a secure facility, unable to go outside? 6He snorts.
<Chad`Winters> Oh that, yeah that'll drive him insane.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He'll learn to live with it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns and walks off.
* Chad`Winters watches Zephyr walk off. 1"If Xevil still has this much power, things aren't going to be easy Warren."
<DeathStar> <Warren> They never are around here. Good work, General. 6He holds out his hand to Cass.
<Cassandra`> And thank my soldiers. *takes his hand*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, shaking her hand, and moves inside to go see Ben
* Chad`Winters nods to Cassandra and moves in with WArren.
* Setsuna` looks to Cass, "So what's our move?"
* Seraphna is looking over Ben already, she looks up at Warren and gives a weak smile.
<Cassandra`> Forensics.
<DeathStar> -END PART 1-
<DeathStar> -BEGIN PART 2-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX 3, In Neutral Space
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along, his hands cupped behind his back as he talks with Ariel. "As you can see, the PAX 3 is the latest in the art of technology."
<DeathStar> 6* Off to the side, a conduit short circruits and sparks, taking out half the lights.
* Cassandra` is now known as Myria
* Marcus` is now known as Xanatos
* Theron has joined #taw
* Setsuna` is now known as Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops, eyeing the lights.
<Ariel> "...still has some bugs to work out?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we've only had a month to get all the ... glitches out.
<Ariel> "You started with life support, correct?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, if it fails, you can tell me what an idiot I was as I lay gasping to death
<Ariel> "I rather not."
<DeathStar> <Darien> The station has an interesting design. The middle circular area of it is where the command ops is located, and where EarthGov military personnel run the ship and ambassadors are located. The inner ring is where the shops and gambling areas and the bars are at. Plus general living quarters. And the outer ring is where the ships dock. I do wonder who designed it though
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up as he stops by the security office. "And here is where Xanatos has spent the last week."
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<Ariel> "It seems... backwards, to me. Administrative should be central."
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Terra
* Ariel eyes the security sign, and wonders how that equates with Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives Ariel a smile.
* Xanatos glances up toward Darien and Ariel, he is going over something on his datapad. "Yo."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waves.
<Xanatos> Giving Ariel the tour?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Xanatos is the chief of security.
* Xanatos just smiles at Ariel, knowing she'll probably react funny.
* Ariel nods slowly, "You'll be following my instructions to the letter, then?"
<Xanatos> As long as that letter ends in J. Can't count past that.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pinches the bridge of his nose.
<Ariel> "...does that let me command you to do anything OTHER than 'die'?"
* Xanatos smiles. "I'm kidding. Yes ma'am, I will." He salutes, which looks odd coming from him.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Anyway, so far we've had a few shops opened up. Erevis is running something called Omega.
* Xanatos feigns hurt, but says nothing. "Yeah I think it's something Sera cooked up. You might want to stop in and see her."
* Ariel turns quickly to face Darien, "Omega? What is..." She's more than a little surprised.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sera's store. She ... got Erevis to run it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks up, dressed in her blue uniform. She eyes Xanatos, holding out a datapad. "And she runs it so well."
* Xanatos takes the datapad and looks over it. "You know her. She's good at everything."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina says nothing. "Everything?" 6She looks Xanatos up and down.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien suddenly feels the tension rising, and glances at Ariel.
* Xanatos glances up. "Hmm? I guess so. So you're sure this one is crazy out of his mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at the datapad. "Don't like my evaluation of you?"
* Ariel shrugs helplessly. "How are you, Katrina?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm doing wonderful. Better than ever. And you, Ariel?
* Xanatos just shrugs and hands it back to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes it back.
<Xanatos> Darien, if you've got the time, I'd like to go over the security roster one more time.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'd love to, but the Erusian and Tsivrixsh Ambassadors will be here soon.
<Xanatos> Ah. I assume i'll need to be there to welcome them aboard?
<Chad`Winters> 6A redhead guy wearing a rather furry vest walks. 1"I will not live in those quarters!"
<Ariel> "Enjoying the respite."
* Chad`Winters is now known as Shiva`
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs, closing his eyes. "Ariel, meet Loki, the ... Cartel Ambassador. He arrived last night."
<Shiva`> And I must attest, that my room is definetly in the wrong area.
* Ariel bows her head to Loki. "Greetings."
* Xanatos sighs and glances at Shiva and Loki.
<Shiva`> 6Loki eyes Ariel, a look of intrigue in his eyes. 6He slides forward, grabbing her hand as he bows before her, gently kissing it. 1"It is my pleasure."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina beams, holding out her arms to Shiva. "Shiva."
* Xanatos arches a brow and glances at Darien.
<Shiva`> KAT! 6She holds her hands out to her and hugs her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hugs her tightly, leaning back and kissing her on the lips, then leans back. "It's good to see you again."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches Katrina and Shiva.
* Xanatos takes a step back, so as to not get caught up in the crossfire. He blinks when she kisses her on the lips.
<Xanatos> Wow. Talk about keeping it in the family.
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot can be seen in the background chasing a screw. "Oh god, get it! We need it for the power conduit!"
* Shiva` smiles wickedly. 1"Always a pleasure. Can you believe Darien? He wouldn't give me a room across from yours so I can see your bright smile every morning.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's terrible. 6She completely ignores Xanatos. "I'm glad you got assigned here."
<Shiva`> I pulled some strings, I mean someone has to watch Loki. 6She swings her leg out and kicks him in the shin.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow, then glances back at Loki still holding Ariel's hand.
<Shiva`> 6Loki scowls as he rubs his shin, giving Shiva an evil glare.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ambassador Loki, what is wrong with your quarters?
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot can be seen running away from the screw as it rolls after him. "Oh god, it's after me!"
* Xanatos scratches his chin slowly and glances back down at his datapad, slowly reading over something.
<Shiva`> <Loki> I requested a room that was to be 40 feet wide by 24 and a half feet long.
* Xanatos sighs and grabs an ensign. "Go help Tom."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches up, rubbing the side of his head, as if massaging his temple. "Your room is 40 feet wide and 24 feet."
<Shiva`> <Loki> Good you understand where the problem lies then.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Clearly.
* Xanatos watches the ensign eagerly rush after Tom to help him. He winces when he slips on the screw and goes crashing into Tom. "Oh...great."
<Shiva`> 6He crosses his arms. 1"And how are you going to rectify this?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> With a bottle of Jack Daniels.
<Shiva`> You look lovely as ever Kat.
* Ariel looks to Darien, "We could redefine the length of a foot?" She doesn't SOUND sarcastic.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you. I like your new hair style. It's so you.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know, that's a great idea. 6He pushes Ariel toward Loki. "Ariel here will help you negotiate your room." 6He turns and hurries for the launch bay.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Ahh, still the shrewd business man as ever. I should've taken you up on the request to ruin Elayne's career.
<Shiva`> You think so? I wasn't sure if I could pull off a shorter cut.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's perfect.
* Ariel eyes Darien.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "When you can learn to say even two words in my native tounge, you might have a chance at that."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, almost running into Elayne
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ambassador Elayne. 6He smiles.
<Shiva`> <Loki> It was your newscasting career Elayne. Nothing too difficult.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I trust your quarters are fine?
<Seraphna> *Elayne walks up, nodding to Darien, she smiles back, "Darien Starr, my quarters are more then acceptable, thank you."
<Shiva`> You're such a saint Kat. 6She places her hand against her own chest, showing flattery.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, then excuses himself.
* Xanatos hands off the datapad to one of his subordinates and moves off after Darien. "Howdy, Ambassador." he nods to elayne as he passes by her.
<Shiva`> 6Loki turns to face Ariel now. 1"So about this renegotiating? 6He leans towards her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I don't know. 6She watches Xanatos go, crossing her arms.
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles to Xan.
* Xanatos steps into pace beside Darien. "This is a bit more tense than I realized it would be."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along, rubbing his temple. "That's why I made you chief of security."
<Shiva`> What an idiot...
<Xanatos> So when things go horrible, you can blame me?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Exactly.
<Seraphna> * ELayne looks over Loki, as if in on a joke about him. "How do you do it?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's okay. I can tell by his stance he's not getting any.
<Ariel> "Renegotiations... yes. You wanted a 40 x 24.5 foot room..."
<Xanatos> Good plan. So the Tsiv and the Erus on the same ship? That's not going to be pleasant.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No. But they're docking at the same time. I think it was Shretrav's idea.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "THat's easy, just blow out the wall closest to vacuum. They're about that thick."
<Shiva`> 6Loki tilts his head slightly as he eyes Ariel. 1"I do desperately require that extra half a foot.
<Xanatos> Oh great. I'm going to have security crews on standby, just in case. *he pulls up his comm and issues the orders*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops in the launching bay, where an Erusian ship and Tsivrixsh ship are just finishing docking.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I suddenly miss Cassandra.
<Xanatos> She did have very big...guns. *he crosses his arms, rubbing his chin*
* Ariel considers, "We CAN meet that arrangement to the letter... unfortunately, it would be within the civilian sector, and it would be Altrusian feet instead of Terran. So that'd make it... 43.12% the size of your current quarters." She nods, as if approving of how that works out. "I'll have your things moved right away?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks over Ariel, looking impressed.
<Shiva`> 6Loki just cracks a smile. 1"You should be in sales..."
* Shiva` just groans, putting her hand to her forehead. 1"Now she did it..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Did what?
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav steps out, with a masked honor guard. She walks along, her head held out - her outfit more like a body armor than a diplomat's clothing.
<Shiva`> <Loki> But I'm from the Cartel, where we use a different system and based off that, since we should be going by each persons race, that would mean I need atleast a 12.12% increase in comparison to the Earth Standard of feet.
<Myria> 6* And...the Erus ambassador still doens't disembark...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I think I have profiles to do. 6She walks off.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Of course if we wanted to be fair we should use a standard foot measurement, and if we go based off Earth's standards then I still need that .5 feet.
<Shiva`> 6Shiva lightly grabs Kat's arm. 1"I'll catch you when your off duty."
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav's beautiful face loosk over Xanatos and Darien
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winks and moves off.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ambassador Shretrav. It's an honor to have you here. 6He bows slightly.
* Xanatos glances at Darien and slides his arms to his side, also bowing slightly.
<Ariel> "Out of morbid curiousity, might I ask what that extra .5 of a terran foot is nessisary for?"
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Yes. Yes. 6She turns to eye the Erusian ship and sneers. "I see the Erusians don't dare disembark while a Tsivrixsh is present."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Xanatos.
* Theron steps off of the Erusian ship, for those that knew him, his likeness to Rylon is pretty close, except he is a bit bigger. He comes to a stop at the base of the ramp, his eyes are determined and he stands there patiently.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav looks him over with disinterest.
* Xanatos glances at Darien, then looks to Shretrav. "Probably just getting their things in order. Anyway, may I have someone show you to your quarters?"
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav ignores Xanatos, waiting to see who the Ambassador is.
<Shiva`> <Loki> I find it puts things in....different perspective.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then nods to Theron. "Welcome. Are you the...ambassador..?"
* Theron moves his eyes to look over at Xan, Darien and Shretrav. He is silent until he suddenly steps to the side and turns to his side is facing them, he bows forward, which would seem to mean that he is not the ambassador.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... friendly.
<Xanatos> ...he reminds me of Rylon.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm suddenly depressed.
<Xanatos> I feel like I should go cry...*he notes, scratching his chin*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe we should ... send you in to get the Ambassador?
<Xanatos> ...Would that be rude?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Probably.
<Myria> 6* A female figure steps off of the Erus ship with hands folded, clad in an elaborate, sparkling white gown and wearing a mask, feathers reminiscent of Earth's peacock attached to the top of the mask.
* Shiva` groans as Loki continues to talk to ARiel
* Ariel nods, "I understand. I appologise for the mix up. As we do not currently have quarters availible for your exact specifications, we will give you a temperary lodging, and I will file an official request on your behalf."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He leans forward, looking interested.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Nah, it's alright. I guess I can live with it.
<Seraphna> *Elayne jsut shakes her head.
* Theron straitens up and turns to face the others. He is still silent, his eyes just scanning over the area, one would assume to check to see if it is secure.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Welcome, Ambassador, to PAX 3.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav studies the Ambassador with a look of loathing.
* Xanatos tilts his head.
<Ariel> "That is good. We've assigned you the next largest room, and had ordered for your things to be delivered there."
<Xanatos> She...just gonna stand there? *he whispers to Darien*
<Myria> 6* The ambassador the walks across the docking area toward the gathered welcoming party.
<Shiva`> <Loki> So tell me Ariel...What do you do for fun?
<Shiva`> Ariel, I suggest carrying a stun gun around him.
* Theron walks alongside her. "General, Lt. Commander, Ambassador. Greetings." He bows his head to the three.
<Ariel> "Combat training."
<Shiva`> 6Loki gives Shiva a dirty look.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the figure, then Theron. "Uh, hello."
<Shiva`> <Loki> Really now? So that's how you keep your body so well maintained.
<Theron> May I present to you. Ambassador Arhnya.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien blinks in shock.
* Xanatos blinks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What?!
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Interesting.
* Theron glances at them all. "Is something...wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* DArien regains himself. "Welcome, Ambassador Arhnya."
* Ariel looks to Shiva, and nods sadly. "I suppose a plasma blade would be frowned upon, if it was nessisary."
<Shiva`> I'd turn my cheek the other way. 6Loki just laughs half-heartedly at Shiva.
<DeathStar> <Darien> My security chief will show you all to your quarters.
<Shiva`> <Loki> You'll have to ignore her, she's just extra bitchy since she had to miss her soaps today.
* Xanatos nods his head. "Alright, if I may have you follow me this way." He turns and begins to lead them to their quarters.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav tilts her head and moves along.
* Theron pauses and allows the Tsiv to go ahead before taking up step behind them, but in front of his Ambassador.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts a hand to his chin, watching Ambassador ARhnya.
* Myria follows after Theron.
* Ariel glances at Loki casually, "If you think this is her being bitchy, you don't know her very well."
<Myria> 6* The ambassador follows after Theron.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Oh I know her very well. Isn't that right Shiva? 6He looks at her mockingly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I wonder if I should expect anymore appearances from dead ambassadors.
<Shiva`> Watch your tongue Loki...
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...Yes..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns slowly.
<Seraphna> *Kieran looms behind Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I---
* Theron stops outside of a door and motions with his hand. "Ambassador Shretrav, these are your quarters. If you have any problems, please let me know."
<Theron> NRP: Xan.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...Apologies... I was sent early to inform you of our arrival..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks upright. "Ambassador Kieran. It an an honor to have the Vapaad interested in galactic affairs again."
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...The time has come again for the stars to shine in the night sky..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I've missed your cryptic responses.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav simply steps in without acknowledging Xan
<Seraphna> "...I am simply a whisperer of the coming times..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his temple more.
<Seraphna> *Kieran turns a set of lenses to the side. "...You are... connected to the third kind..."
<Shiva`> <Loki> But I must egress. Ariel, if there is anything, and I mean anything that you ever need...Feel free to contact me. 6He flicks his hand, a card appearing between his fingers and out towards her
* Xanatos smiles to Theron and Arhnya and motions. "This way place." He leads them to a room at the opposite end of the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien throws up his hands. "Let me show you to your room quickly."
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...The ship arrives in the wake of one who hurries along..."
<Seraphna> *As he says that, his ship docks.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "Wait, how did you get here before your ship...?"
<Myria> 6* The Erus ambassador nods in Xan's direction.
* Theron steps forward and opens the door, stepping inside and glancing around. Moment later he steps outside and nods to his Ambassador. Then he steps out of the way so she may enter.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...I was sent ahead..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... if you decide to get out of galactic affairs again, let me know.
<Myria> 6* She then steps inside her quarters.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...I have, she has not..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Who?
<Theron> Thank you. *he says simply, before bowing his head once and stepping in behind his Ambassador.*
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...Ambassador Kaltar..."
* Xanatos nods once and then moves off down the hall again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, turing to look at the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his comm to get Xan to come here.
<Shiva`> 6Loki look at Ariel, wondering if he somehow broke her.
* Xanatos glances down at his comm and then begins to job toward Darien.
<Seraphna> * The ship sort of... stretches open, another, blue colored Vapaad glides out, smaller then Kieran.
<Xanatos> NRP: jog*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Kieran. "Does she talk like you?"
* Ariel didn't break, she just didn't notice the little man at first. She nods, "Oh. Of course."
* Shiva` narrows her eyes as she looks around.
<Seraphna> "...Kaltar is a rebel in the words of the wise..."
<Seraphna> Kieran>
<DeathStar> <Darien> That tells me so much. 6He steps forward, bowing. "Ambassador Kaltar, welcome."
<Shiva`> <Loki> Excellent...6He bows to her and moves aside.
* Xanatos slides to a stop behind Darien, his jaw clenches.
<Seraphna> * Kaltar angles her lenses to look at Darien, and in a very pleasent voice states, "...Thank You..."
* Xanatos just steps up beside Darien, his entire body is tense as he stands there.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles. "Xanatos, the Vapaad ambassador has arrived. Make sure you take a wide birth around the Omega Shop when you show her to her room."
* Ariel looks to Shiva, "Do you have a bad feeling too?"
<Xanatos> ....*he turns* Follow me.
* Xanatos begins to walk toward the diplomatic area.
<Shiva`> Worse...6She glances around then slides her hand along the wall.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Thank you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes a deep breath and lets it out, holding his pounding head.
<Ariel> "What?"
<Shiva`> I suggest you watch over Erevis. 6She pulls her hand back, eyeing it.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...The Cat Howls at the Moon, Starr."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Kieran slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks away just as slowly.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Later that day
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in the bar, motioning at Ariel. "The catgons are invading."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien throws back his Jack Daniels.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands in the Omega Store, wearing a cute white casual women's business suit, black underattire for accent, a black omega sign on the collar of the outfit
* Terra looks over to Darien quizzically. "Is this something we should be worried about?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, clearly on a roll. "The Vapaad know things.:
<DeathStar> <Darien> I jsut don't know what they know.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in her office, humming a tune as she does profiles.
<Terra> "And you hate mysteries?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I hate cats.
<Terra> "I've never been a cat person myself."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I use to like them, but--- 6He pauses, turning to eye Siawase eyeing him
<Ariel> Siawase> "......"
* Xanatos steps in Omega Store, slowly glancing around. He lets out a low whistle. "Wow. This place looks good."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks away slowly.
<Ariel> Siawase> "...meow."
* Terra eyes Siawase
<DeathStar> <Darien> ...
<Terra> "That's just a normal cat, right, now one of these catgon thingies?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Xanatos with a blank look. "Do you wish to purchase something?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... is it me... or is he eying me? 6He whispers to Ariel.
<Xanatos> I dunno. You cost anything?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... What?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, completely confused.
<Ariel> "...I'm not sure, but it looks like it's staring at my chest."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, turning to eye the cat again.
<Terra> "... I guess he's a tomcat."
* Myria skips into the Omega Store, looking around.
* Xanatos sighs. "No. I'm alright." he steps up to the counter. "Just stopping in to see how things are going."
* Theron steps into the bar and sits a stool down from Darien and the others, he glances towards the bartender.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well. 6She turns toward Myria. "Are you here to purchase something?" 6Her tone suggests that one should not do otherwise.
<Ariel> Siawase> *seems to wink at Darien, and wanders off*
* Xanatos leans on the counter and glances back towards Myria. "Ohhh, hey. It's Myria. I didn't know you were here."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets another drink, rubbing his temple. "So, I hear Cheryl had her baby. How does that feel, Ariel, to be a grandmother?"
* Shiva` opens the door to Kat's office and leans in against the doorway
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up. "Hey, Shiva."
<Myria> Hello, Miss Erevis! Hi, Mr. Xanatos.
* Xanatos smiles at Myria, always glad to see a happy person for a change.
<Shiva`> So that kiss back there...6She smirks lightly. 1"Was that for your personal entertainment or for Xanatos?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A little of A, a little of B.
<Myria> What is this place? *looks around*
<Shiva`> Nice. 6She pushes off the doorway and moves inside.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a store. Would you like to buy a game? 6Holds up one of Sera's games.
* Theron stares at Terra still, since she seems to be ignoring him. He clears his throat.
<Ariel> "I... think I need to request some time off as soon as possible..." *pauses* "...it's hard to grasp really."
<Terra> "Oh, didn't see you there. What do you want?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> And miss all the fun here? 6He listens to a console blowing up in the background.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes to read it. "What kinda game is that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> An entertaining and educational game. 6She says flatly.
<Theron> Do you have any Erusian ale?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Only 39.99
<Xanatos> Educational? I dunno, is there any violence in it?
<Myria> ...a...game?
<Terra> "Sure do."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
* Terra hands some over.
* Theron bows his head slightly and hands over the credits, he takes a swig of it. "Oh, this is good."
<Shiva`> 6Loki slides upto the bar and looks over at Terra. 1"Give me 4 shots of Nigilian Rum."
<Terra> "I make sure to stock the best."
<Ariel> "Fun... yes. If you call it that."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his fingers together. "So, did you know that Ambassador Arhnya is back?"
* Ariel is startled by that. "What?"
<Theron> You will see me often then. *he says, taking another sip*
<DeathStar> <Darien> That was my reaction.
* Xanatos scratches his chin. "Hmmm. You don't know what a game is Myria?"
<Shiva`> 6Shiva plops down onto her desk, she turns around to looks back at her. 1"How're your evaluations going?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is fun. Buy it. 6She tells Myria.
<Terra> "Good to hear."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Boring. 6She tosses the datapad down. "But it's good to be doing something useful."
* Theron pauses and glances toward Darien and Ariel out of the corner of his eye.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis thrusts it into Myria's hands.
<Ariel> "Who is it really?"
<Shiva`> 6Loki drums his fingers on the counter, he then whistles at Terra.
<Myria> Ok, I'll buy it!
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have no idea. Never talked.
* Terra looks over. "And what do you want?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "A wise decision." 6She rings it up.
<Shiva`> 4 shots of Nigilian Rum. Doubles.
* Xanatos smirks, "That was some mighty fine selling. You sure you haven't done this before?"
<Shiva`> NRP: Loki
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been trained extensively by Serena Cran.
<Shiva`> Sounds absolutely drag. 6She feigns disinterest.
<Myria> Ummm...what are all these numbers?
<Terra> "Oh, I did a little, once."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
* Xanatos tilts his head to Myria. "I think they may be specifications."
<Terra> NRP: Ack, misread.
<Shiva`> 6Loki looks at Terra oddly.
* Terra hands over the rum.
<Terra> NRP: Sorry, ignore the weird line
<Myria> How do you play it?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, Shiva, how was your daY?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There are instructins in the box.
<Shiva`> 6Loki tosses down the credits and grabs the four shots. He moves over to Ariel and DS, handing each othem one.
<Xanatos> Put it into your console. It should guy you through it from there.
* Myria opens the box.
<Xanatos> NRP: guide*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up. "Ambassador Loki." 6He takes it. "A pleasure."
<Shiva`> I thought up atleast 14 different ways to cause Loki personaly bodily harm.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes some potential customers in the corner, and walks off to force them to buy stuff.
* Theron takes another sip of his ale.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Of course it is. 6He just shows a fake smile.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hear he was taken with Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien fakes a smile back, raising the shot up. "To peace. And profits."
<Shiva`> That'll happen when he can find a girl that can outwit him.
* Xanatos smiles at Myria and then moves towards the exit, "I'll see you later Erevis." He steps out, moving toward the bar.
* Ariel nods to the ambassador, taking the drink. She eyes Darien a moment, but figures it's only polite to raise her glass to the toast.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Come now, it's not always about money Darien Starr. Sometimes it's about making new friends.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And with new friends come new business ventures.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Yeah yeah...6He looks over at Ariel, toasting her and downing the shot. 1"Would you like to go out on a date Ariel? I would love to learn more about you."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts his shot down without drinking it.
* Myria takes her game and skips out of the shop.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis scares some people off.
<Seraphna> * The Blue Vapaad steps into the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow at Loki and Ariel.
* Terra watches the entrance
<Ariel> "Do you wish the honest answer, or the polite one?"
* Xanatos steps in behind the Vapaad, he makes a face and slides around it, sliding up to the bar. "Yo Terra."
<Seraphna> * It looks aorund in about 5 different angles at once in curiosity.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks quite different these days: slightly longer hair, and a goatee.
<Terra> "Hey Xan."
<Shiva`> <Loki> A date can be between two unequal people Ariel. There are more than one use for a date.
<Terra> "What'll it be?"
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad glides over to the bar.
<Xanatos> Ah whatever you want to hand over. I'm not in a picky mood today.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches Myria skipping around. "Myria is here?"
* Terra hands Xan a drink, then looks to the Vapaad. "And you?"
<Ariel> "And what is your intention for this, 'date'?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spots someone else. "Excuse me." 6Gets up, leaving Ariel alone with Loki
<Shiva`> <Loki> To possibly put us on equal grounds, to learn more about each other.
* Xanatos pays and smiles, then slides over to an empty table.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks into the bar with Shiva. She glances over at Xan. "Drinking alone, Xanatos?"
* Theron stands up and moves to interrupt Darien. "Pardon me."
<Xanatos> Not really drinking. I think Terra just gave me pee. *he sniffs it*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Later. 6He moves past Theron, completely focused on someone else.
<Shiva`> <Loki> The perception you have of people...6He slides a card from under his sleeve and holds it towards her, a picture of a Joker is on it. 1"Is not always what lies beneath. 6He flips it over, revealing a King instead.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You know how to make people like you, Durran.
<Terra> "Hey! I wouldn't serve piss!"
* Theron steps back and watches Darien for a moment, then he steps over and sits back down at the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops, talking with a woman with blue hair out on the deck.
* Myria heads for the residential section.
<Shiva`> Poor guy, can't even make friends on a station where people are forced to be around each other.
* Xanatos smiles at Terra. "You know me." He says simply, then takes a swig of the drink.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Be nice. Terra, can you bring some drinks over? 6She sits down next to Xan.
<Terra> "Sure."
<Ariel> "Then I will give you the polite answer. I am leaving the station for a brief time. I'm afraid I can't take you up on that."
<Xanatos> So how do you like your room Shiva?
* Shiva` just smiles and plops down beside Kat, she looks over at Xanatos with dangerous, yet beautiful eyes.
* Terra brings some over. High quality stuff, for Kat, at least.
<Shiva`> Much more pleasant now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Terra. "Thank you. Just keep bringing them over when we're low, please?"
<Shiva`> <Loki> Understandable, when you get back?
<Xanatos> Oh? Well I guess that's good. *he eyes his drink and swirls it around* What is this Terra?
<Terra> "Sure thing."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a sip.
* Shiva` grabs her drink and takes a sip.
<Terra> "Nigillian Rum."
<Ariel> "We'll see."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Xanatos, her green eyes sparkling with mischief. "Drink up, Xanatos."
* Shiva` suddenly groans. 1"Loki's here isn't he..."
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Can't. I have an early shift in the morning."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the woman walk off, rocking back on his feet, a grin on his face.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You make your own hours, don't you? 6She smiles.
<Xanatos> And this is good stuff Terra. I think it might start being my regular. *he adds to her*
<Shiva`> <Loki> I look forward to it...6He bows to her and stands up, the card dropping onto the table, a picture of death facing up.
<Xanatos> Oh ho ho. So you knew? Well that stinks.
<Seraphna> * THe Vapaad looks at Terra, moving two lenses down towards her. "...Hello..."
* Ariel wonders just how many sides that card has
<Terra> "Hello."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks back over, sitting down and grabbing the card, flipping. He's still grinning like a kid.
<Terra> "It's nice to meet you...?"
<Shiva`> 6The picture of Two loves appears. Loki looks over at Darien. 1"Interesting."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, Xanatos, how have things been the last few months?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmm? What is interesting?
<Xanatos> Same old same old. What about you? Do anything crazy and exciting?
<Shiva`> <Loki> Nothing. 6He picks the card up, flipping it in his hands.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You know me. Enjoying every bit of life. 6She laughs.
* Xanatos smiles. "Wonderful. And you Shiva, how have you been?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, sure. 6He glances at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the bar, glancing over at Xanatos sitting with Katrina and Shiva. She pauses, then steps back out discreetly as possible.
<Shiva`> Acts of wantan destruction.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...You serve... nourishment here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sips her drink, a smile on her face.
<Terra> "Sure. What do you want?"
<Xanatos> So the usual then? *he nods and finishes off his rum*
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, where were we?
* Ariel smiles to Erevis as she enters.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, glancing at Ariel smiling, then glances back, not seeing Erevis after she ducked out. He glances back at Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You that happy to talk with Loki?
<Shiva`> 6Loki looks over at Ariel with great interest now.
* Theron stands up and moves towards the exit, he steps out just a quietly as he stepped in.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron steps into a wall of rock
<Ariel> "Happy? No." *pauses* "Have you considered taking a brief vacation? You look like you could use it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Who?
* Xanatos taps his hand on the table. "So what is your agenda?"
<Shiva`> <Loki> Oh she means you.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Me? I'm fine. Everything I could want is right here. 6He smiles, grabbing that shot from before and toasting with it, throwing it back.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Agenda?
<Shiva`> 6Loki spins the card then flips it up, looking at it, then at Darien and Ariel.
<Xanatos> You hate me. *he notes, then points to Shiva* And you hate anyone that she hates. So what's the game?
<Shiva`> What makes you think she has an agenda?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. Well, I won't make the mistake of being nice to you again. 6She says angerily, standing up and walking off.
* Xanatos winces. "Ouch. Guess I was wrong about her hating me then."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back to watch Katrina storming off.
* Ariel nods, "I need to visit Cheryl, and..." She shakes her head. "I know you can't disappear at a time like this. But I can still be hopeful."
<Shiva`> Real smooth Xanatos. She offers you an olive branch and you throw it in her face. 6She stands up, downing her drink and slamming it down on the table
<Xanatos> Spare me Shiva. *he stands up and moves out after her*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm afraid I can't go, Ariel. But, you take as much time as you need.
<Shiva`> 6Loki frowns then spins the card again, eyeing it as he holds it towards himself again then the two
* Terra glances over at Kat and Xan, with some surprise
<Shiva`> Shiva grabs Xan by the shoulder as he walks by.
<Shiva`> Take my advice, stay out of her life before you hurt her more.
* Xanatos glances at Shiva. "Seriously. Leave me alone."
* Xanatos pauses and frowns. "I was just going to apologize."
<Ariel> "I understand. Prehaps once I return..." *trails off, glancing at Loki* "...do you INSIST on playing with that card?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Loki now.
<Shiva`> Because I promise you this, you so much as cause her to shed one tear....I will ruin you.
<Shiva`> <Loki> You'll have to excuse me, I have an keen interest in the future and I do so love Tarot Cards.
* Xanatos smiles. "Oh Shiva. You're cute when you threaten." He shrugs off of her and steps out, apparently not going after Kat anymore.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Love?
* Theron blinks at the wall of rock. He arches his brow and takes a step back.
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad finally moves again, looking around the bar with it's scopes. "...Do you have... ethanol products?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium looks down at Theron. "Move little man."
<Shiva`> <Loki> That's one way of putting it, yes. 6He flips the card up again, eyeing it
* Theron clenches his jaw tight, but steps to the side, bowing his head. "Forgive me."
<Terra> "Sure do. Do you want anything special, or will anything do?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh, okay. Well, I got a long day tomorrow. Good night, both of you. 6He stands and bows, then walks off.
* Xanatos moves through the hallway, rubbing his temples.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium watches him go, then moves over and sits on a chair. It groans under him.
<Ariel> "Good night, Darien."
<Shiva`> 6Loki makes a pained face as he eyes the card and then Ariel. 1"Touch luck.
* Theron turns and moves off for one of the shops
<Seraphna> Terra> "...Anything..."
* Shiva` trails her finger along the rim of the glass as she looks around.
* Terra hands the Vapaad a drink then. "Well, there you go."
* Xanatos knocks on Erevis' door.
<Terra> .oO(That took longer than expected.)
<Ariel> "I don't believe luck was a factor there..." *heads off to prepare*

<DeathStar> Mini On: Immediately After Episode 1, Part 2 Segment
<DeathStar> 6* All characters are were we left them.
<Xanatos> *Theron steps out of a shop, holding an armful of sweets.
* Myria playing her new game...
<DeathStar> 6* The game talks in Sera's voice.
<Shiva`> 6Loki slips the card into his pocket as he watches Ariel leave.
<Seraphna> * The blue Vapaad is trying out a myriad of drinks, having them fed through an off funnel.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes to her office to work.
* Shiva` eyes the vapaad with distaste
* Myria is hypnotised.
<DeathStar> 6* The game attempts to use subliminal messages to get Myria to obey it
<Xanatos> *Theron turns and moves back towards the diplomatic area.
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad eyes Shiva back, one of it's lenses focused on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in her room, petting Siawase as she works on a drawing.
* Xanatos knocks once more on Erevis' door.
* Shiva` sits there, her finger tracing around the rim of the glass as she stares back at the Vapaad.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Enter.
* Xanatos steps in. "Hey. Whatcha doin?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am drawing.
<Seraphna> * The lense travels on it's extending stalk across the room, blinking at Shiva.
<Ariel> Siawase> *purrrs... until he sees Xanatos. Eyes Xanatos. Evil eyes*
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot runs through the bar chasing a screw.
* Xanatos pauses. "I see you found your cat."
<Myria> ...wow... *swirly eyed*
<DeathStar> 6* The game attempts to get her to buy lots of Omega Cokes.
<Xanatos> *Theron enters the Erusian ambassador quarters, and places the armful of sweets on the table beside Myria.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He came in when he was ready
<Myria> ...must have Omega Cokes...ooooooh! Candy!
<Xanatos> So how was work? *he crosses his arms and leans against the wall*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I made a profit.
<Xanatos> All in a days work, as they say. *he smirks and tilts his head, glancing to see what she is drawing*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has changed into a robe, getting out of her outfit as soon as possible.
<Seraphna> * THe Vapaad glides over to Shiva. "...Who are you?..."
<DeathStar> 6* She is drawing Siawase.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Do you require anything else, my lady?
<Shiva`> My name is Shiva. 6She leans back as she crosses her arms.
<Myria> No, I'm fine. *pops some jelly beans in her mouth*
* Xanatos rubs his head. "I have a feeling i'm in a bit over my head. Today was insane."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I am Kaltar Kalan... and what are you?..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A day does not have a mental pattern.
<Ariel> Siawase> *is approving of the picture*
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Did you say Kaltar Khan? 6He eyes Kaltar.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> *she turns a lense to Tom, poking it in his face* "...Kalan..."
<DeathStar> <tom Pilot> OH GOD MY EYE!! MY EYE!
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot flails, blood gushing out
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Noted... Humans have weak eyes..."
<Xanatos> It was very difficult then.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> KAAAAAALAAAAAAAAN!
<Myria> ...what do you make of the others here? *tone changes*
<Xanatos> <Theron> *he bows and then steps towards the door* I will be within reach.
<Shiva`> If that's how you greet eveyone, you can keep your distance.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You will get use to it.
<Terra> "..." *just calls the medical bay*
<Xanatos> *Theron pauses and glances at Myria. "They are and odd bunch."
<Seraphna> * Kaltar reaches out and pokes Tom with a tendril that seems to be used for munipulating objects.
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot howls and falls over, holding his side. "Kidneys..."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Shiva creature... I do not greet everyone like that..."
* Myria nods and then eats some gumdrops.
* Shiva` rests her elbow on the table and leans against her hand. 1"Apparently not, you also seem to jam things with tendrils.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Only him..."
<Xanatos> I hope so. *he pauses and rubs his neck* Apparently Arhnya is the ambassador for the Erus.
<Shiva`> I see. 6She yawns with disinterest
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Arhn Arhnya is dead. 6She replies simply, drawing some whiskers.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Unless you are feeling the emotion of jealousy, then I can share it with you..."
<Xanatos> Well I escorted an Arnya to her quarters.
<Seraphna> * Kaltar extends a lense behind her as well.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I do believe they mistook you for your aunt. *he notes, standing by the door still*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course you did.
* Xanatos pauses and sighs. "Oh...I forgot."
<Seraphna> * Elayne steps into the bar and looks around.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Forgot?
<Shiva`> You ever touch me with that, I'll kill you.
<Myria> ... ... ...is there a difference...?
<Xanatos> That Arhnya had family. It's probably a sister or something like that.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Of course not, my lady.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods sympathically for Xanatos, then gives Siawase a sweet.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I am sorry Shiva creature... but the chances of you destroying me in my encounter armor are one million, nine hundres and twenty six thousand to one."
<Myria> ...part of me Myria Arhnya...the other part...is an echo...a memory...
<Seraphna> * Kaltar runs another tendril with some sort of scanning equipment around.
<Ariel> Siawase> *puurrs, and rubs against Erevis*
<Seraphna> * Elayne grins a bit and takes a seat.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I understand.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis coos at Siawase, petting him.
<Shiva`> Those odd's sound wonderful.
* Xanatos smiles at Erevis. "So how do you like the station thus far?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pretends she didn't hear him. "Siawase enjoys the food."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...THey are not in your favor... this is fact... do Shiva creatures always behave as if they have Cardianian Slugs eating at thier toes?"
<Xanatos> Oh? He likes sweets?
<Terra> "Do I have to call security too?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6Gives Siawase another.
<Seraphna> * Elayne covers her mouth, trying to to laugh.
<Myria> ...I was in telepathic contact...I touched her mind at the moment of death... ... ...I can't sleep well...I can never sleep well...
<Seraphna> Elayne> "It's fine Terra, Ambassador Kaltar is... a child."
<Xanatos> <Theron> Do you believe a part of her was left in you?
<Shiva`> Do Vapaad's always think themselves god's among mortals?
<Terra> "... I see..."
* Xanatos smiles. "I do not think he lifes me."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...We are not gods, in fact that is why we wear Encounter Armor, to avoid death."
<Ariel> Siawase> *playfully eats it. He looks at Xan, knowing he's closer to Erevis than Xan will get*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...? 6She looks at Siawase to see if he likes Xan
<Myria> ...yes...she cannot rejoin the cycle...I am a chain upon her spirit...
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Come now Shiva, can't you see the kid is just curious...?"
* Shiva` eyes Elayne, finally noticing her. 1"Curiousity killed the cat, they say."
<Xanatos> <Theron> Perhaps. We should perform the guiding ritual?
* Xanatos steps over and reaches his hand out to pet the cat.
<Seraphna> ELayne> "Yes, but the cat wasn't wearing one of those... things. Make friends, isn't that what this station is for?"
<Ariel> Siawase> *bites Xanatos' hand*
<Shiva`> <Shiva> It's hard to trust someone who thinks themselves invincible.
* Xanatos winces and pulls his hand back, placing his bleeding finger in his mouth.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is only playing. Is that not correct, siawase? 6She holds him up and presses the cat against her bossoms.
<Myria> ...I...can't let go...
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Did I say invincible? I'm sorry, I meant to state an imporbability factor."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "At least she doesn't talk in those damn riddles."
<Shiva`> <Shiva> I guess I hadn't noticed. 6She motions to Terra for a refill.
* Terra fills up Shiva's glass
<Xanatos> <Theron> Very well. But I must speak my mind on this when I say that it might be for the best. In the end, it's still your choice, my lady.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, a poor ensign is talking with Kieran, and is suffering brain hemorrages
<Shiva`> Thanks Terra. 6Shen nods to her.
<Terra> "No problem."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Actually, I didn't realise the Vapaad had genders."
* Xanatos tilts his head to eye the cat. "I believe it is taunting me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is a cat.
<Shiva`> I couldn't care less....So you say she's a child, how old are you then Kaltar?
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...We do, it is a progressional change in life. I am Nine Hundred and Seventy Four years old."
<Myria> ....I don't want to be...alone...
<Seraphna> * Elayne blinks, "...And you're a kid?"
<Xanatos> Even so. *he says, he shrugs* Anyway. *he plops down beside her* I'm bored.
<Shiva`> Quite the slow learner, or you just the special one of the bunch?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you should do something.
<Xanatos> But it would be boring to do something alone. *he notes*
<Ariel> Siawase> *sticks his tongue out at Xan*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But you are not alone, and you are bored.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...We spend the first four hundred years of our lives in the birthing place, developing our mental ability."
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot still writhes on the floor.
<Xanatos> Hmmmm. But I wouldn't be bored if we did something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you want to do?
<Shiva`> Quaint, I spent only 20, guess I'm a genius compared to you.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I am the equivalent of your species..." *she stops, appearing to calculate something* "...14 year olds. My Broodfather insisted I come to learn of the galactic species."
<Xanatos> <Theron> I am here. You are not alone.
<Terra> "... I really hope I'm still okay serving her drinks..."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "See? A kid."
<Myria> You are not an Arhnya...
<Shiva`> Then that would make me your elder, guess you have to respect me than.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I believe that is proper! Tell me more of your species Shiva creature."
<Xanatos> <Theron> That doesn't make me any less here.
<Xanatos> Hmmm. Well some of the stuff still isn't ready. But I was thinking that we might try out the training sims. See if they've updated them since my last disaster.
<Shiva`> Sorry, I don't do that on the first date. 6She drums her finger on the table, her eyes going distant for a second.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to use them, then do so
<Seraphna> *Elayne watches her curiously, "You okay there Shiva?"
<Shiva`> Wonderful. 6She pulls out her datapad, typing on it.
<Ariel> Siawase> *gives Erevis sad kitty eyes*
<Xanatos> And you will not be joining me?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis awws at Siawase and pets her. "I do not have need of a training simulation."
<Xanatos> There are more simulations than just training, you know.
<Myria> I...I need rest...my spirits are down... *stands up* ...thank you for the candy...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have no need for false environments.
<Xanatos> <Theron> It was no problem, my lady. I will be near if you need. Just call. *he steps out*
<Seraphna> * Kaltar makes an odd noise and turns to Elayne. "...Ambassador Hianule! Greetings! How are you?"
* Myria retreats to her bed...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up from her datapad, blinkikng
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Just fine... Kaltar..." *motions for Shiva to make her escape*
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina looks around slowly.
<Shiva`> Did you just burp?
<Xanatos> Aw come'on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I simply do not see the need.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> *it turns around again, the window of oppurtunity lost* "...I'm sorry, I was merely recording your mental imprint for later recognition."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina closes down her datapad.
<Terra> "Mental imprint?"
<Xanatos> Alright, alright. Well we haven't went on a date lately. Wanna try out one of the resturaunts?
<Shiva`> Have fun with that. 6She takes another sip, not one to need opportunitys to leave.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not need food.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Yes, I have recorded your particular thought patterns."
<Shiva`> Every human gives off a mental imprint, much like a fingerprint. The Vapaads use these to remember people.
<Terra> "I'm... not sure whether I should be comfortable with that..."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Shiva creature is correct! With so many of you we would quickly forget. Now every Vapaad will remember the Shiva creature."
* Xanatos sighs. "Fine...I guess I can just sit here. Unless you wish for me to leave?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to sit. 6She draws quietly.
<Shiva`> It's what happens when you devote your entire life to the art of psionics.
<Xanatos> Is talking part of that deal?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may talk.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "So that's what she meant by mental development..."
<Terra> "... that's not really what I meant..."
<Shiva`> It's sad really. 6She gives a fake sympathetic look towards Kaltar
<Xanatos> Is something bothering you? You seem to be shutting me out even more than usual.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I detect the emotion sorrow, what is this for?"
<Terra> "Anyway, I'm not psychic, so..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is nothing wrong.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ate while you were in the bar.
<Shiva`> You'll figure it out in another 424 years.
<Xanatos> While I was in the bar? *he tilts his head* Must've been a short lunch, I wasn't in there long.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was enough to fill my body
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...By then I will have gone through then melding, I should know it well by then!"
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot finally stops moving
<Xanatos> I forget that it doesn't take as much to fill you up as it does me. Since i'm a man and everything. *he pats his stomach* I need alot to function on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have noticed.
* Terra goes to check on Tom herself
<Xanatos> You've noticed? You calling me fat?
<Terra> "Where the hell is that medteam?"
<Shiva`> Cute. 6She takes another drink.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Mental activity has increased in the human on the floor, I believe he may be unconcious... how he has grown more active now is beyond my scanners."
<Shiva`> 6The medteam drink off to the side.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are not fat. Your body is well muscled for your height and weight.
<Terra> "Hey! There's an unconcious guy over here!"
* Xanatos smiles. "I do what I can. Say...would you like to go out on a shuttle sometime later?"
* Shiva` tosses the rest of her drink down on Tom's face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> To do what?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis giveS Siawase a treat.
<DeathStar> 6* Tom sits up, coughing.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...We had best not disturb him, his intelligence has increased now that he has stopped attempting concious use of his mind."
<Xanatos> Explore the area. Look at the stars. Things like that. I've not really flown in a while.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...And it died again."
<Terra> "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to do so, we can do it
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot looks at Terra with only one eye. "Oh God, I'm blind!"
<Shiva`> You shouldn't insult people like that, that's rude. 6She motions to Terra to fill her up again.
<Ariel> Siawase> *happily eats the treat, but warily watches Xanatos
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot runs away, unable to tell depth perception. He runs into chairs and tables.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Have I insulted someone?"
<Terra> "... you should see a doctor." *fills up Shiva's glass*
<Xanatos> I do. *he tilts his head and eyes the art and then glances at Siawase* Looks just like him.
<Terra> "Mmmhmm."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is him.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Who?"
* Shiva` takes a deep drink, setting the glass down
* Xan|Gonetwice has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is him.
<Terra> "Tom. The guy you poked in the eye, then called stupid while awake."
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Shiva`> Shame he won't be able to use it now. Quite the hello.
<Xan|Gonetwice> <Xanatos> Wait a minute. You saw me in the bar?
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I was congradulatig him on temporary enlightenment. Are humans really that squishy?"
<Terra> "Maybe he can get an eyepatch."
<Shiva`> And he'll most likely be out of a job now. Depth pereption is very useful
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Xan|Gonetwice> <Xanatos> Then you saw Kat and Shiva sitting with me?
<DeathStar> 6* Tom can be seen running into women in the background
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Terra> "... we're not made of metal.."
<Xan|Gonetwice> <Xan> Did that bother you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did not wish to interfere.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Niether am I, this is simply Encounter Armor."
<Xan|Gonetwice> <Xan> Interfere in what, exactly?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> In your conversation. Katrina McCormick does not like me.
<Shiva`> Apparently the emotion of regret doesn't exist among the hive. 6She leans back.
<Terra> "Are you... not-squishy... outside your armour?"
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Regret? What is that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot is seen falling down an open elevtor shaft that was under repair.
<Xan|Gonetwice> <Xan> Well she doesn't like me very much anymore either. Honestly, she was probably only sitting with me because she knew you would see me sitting with her. Which might cause us problems.
* Xan|Gonetwice is now known as Xanatos
* Shiva` suddenly winces
<Seraphna> *Kaltar turns a lense at Terra, "...I am not allowed to speak of the inner self."
<Terra> "Regret is wishing you hadn't made a mistake."
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...A mistake has been made?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You believe she would do that, XAnatos Durran? 6She eyes Xan.
<Seraphna> *Elayne rubs her face.
<Terra> "... yes."
<Shiva`> Oh come now, they say beauty is only skin deep. 6She says with a wicked smile.
<Xanatos> She is human. *he notes*
* Myria has left #taw
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ah. So it is a common human reaction.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns back to her drawing.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Skin... an epidermal shell to some humanoids with an internal skeleton."
<Terra> "Very academic."
<Xanatos> Jealousy is a terrible thing. Of course, she probably isn't jealous. Possibly vengful.
<Seraphna> Kaltar>
<Shiva`> Anyone can recite a dictionary.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "Thank you! Yes I have read some of the common language, I study it you see."
* Terra stares
<Xanatos> Regardless, be mindful around her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will do so.
<Xanatos> I would feel horrible if something happened to you. Especially since you wouldn't even be here if it weren't for me.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "This is cute, on a diplomatic station and people are surpsied by alien beings that don't know all about thier cultures... my aren't we all very self absorbed of our own ways..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts down the drawing, shifting on the bed to face Xanatos Durran. "You could be with her if you wanted. Her feelings for you are obvious."
<Terra> "I'm just... not used to the idea of telepaths being so..."
<Xanatos> And I thought my feelings were obvious.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Curious? She's not allowed to scan people without permission."
<Terra> "Well, at least I don't have to worry about her prying in my head."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... She could give you what you wanted.
<Xanatos> And what is it that I want?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Love.
<Shiva`> Oh don't wory Terra, they aren't all...6She motions to Kaltar. 1"Some are actually really cool."
<Xanatos> You could love me if you so wished it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Terra> "I guess."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...There is an attraction to species from frozen worlds?"
<Terra> "It's a figure of speech."
<Shiva`> It was more of an insult, but that works fine for me.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Cool? What does this figure of speach entail?"
<Terra> "I don't know how well it translates."
Session Close: Wed Jul 18 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Wed Jul 18 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<Xanatos> I made my feelings clear a few months ago. I don't know what else I can do. I'm trying. Doing the best I can here.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down. "I understand your feelings."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "It means something of great interest." *she says almost boredly*
<Seraphna> ELayne> "Are you done picking on little kids Shiva?"
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<Shiva`> But I'm obviously having so much fun. 6She takes another sip, this time swirling her drink
<Xanatos> And I understand yours. *he places a hand gently against her chin* You believe that with Love, comes more inimate scenarios. Correct?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is one aspect.
<DeathStar> 6* Siawase is asleep now.
<Xanatos> And you are afraid of that. Your past experiences have made it so, and I understand completely.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Xanatos> But I have made myself clear when I stated that I would not do anything that you did not wish. Never ever. Yet you still cannot seem to love me. So I wonder. Is it my face, is it because i'm ugly? Or is it because i'm stupid? I just can't figure it out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware you were ugly.
<Xanatos> Well that's what they say. I don't really know, not conceded enough to judge myself.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "I am glad you are enjoying my company, Elderly Shiva Creature."
<Shiva`> So do you plan on harassing Erevis? 6He eyes her with interest finally
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not understand the value you humans place on looks.
<Xanatos> Looks are what attract us to each other. Then the personality is what pulls us in.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you are interested in me because of my looks.
* Xanatos smirks. "Not just your looks, no."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But that is what attracted you to me.
<Xanatos> I guess. Is that a problem?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then shifts off the bed.
* Xanatos eyes her for a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves out of sight, grabbing some clothes.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Who is Erevis?"
* Shiva` eyes the Vapaad and her long pauses.
* Xanatos sighs and rubs his temples, looking down at the ground.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I cannot find any mention of one in my guide."
<Xanatos> *Theron steps into the bar once again, he moves over to sit down.
<Terra> "She's been with the PAX for a while..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out wearing some loose fitting clothing. Clearly she plans to go somewhere.
<Xanatos> Going out?
* Shiva` motions Terra to forget it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have the urge to hit a bag with my hand.
* Terra shrugs
<Xanatos> Then I upset you? *he stands*
<Terra> "Don't worry about it, I guess."
* Shiva` stands up, downing her drink.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "....Is this Erevis important?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is no need to discuss it.
* Xanatos slides in front of the door. "The whole point to a relationship is being open and honest with each other. If i've upset you then it is very important."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not like my looks. Now move.
<Shiva`> Spend a year figuring that out then come back to me. 6She turns to leave.
<Terra> "Decide for yourself if she's important to you."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "Yes Elderly Shiva Creature, I will get right on this."
<Xanatos> ...then I wont either.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You won't?
<Xanatos> I won't like your looks, since they bother you so much.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> *looks at Terra with her lenses* "...How will I know of her significance?"
* Shiva` moves past Kaltar, setting the glass on top of it's head as she moves by.
<Xanatos> *Theron watches those around the bar, especially those around the Vapaad.
<Seraphna> * It sides off the rounded head mask and breaks.
<Xanatos> What? I didn't mean to make you mad.
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad's stalks turn to looks at Theron. "...Why hello Guardian Creature!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him. "So if you do nto like my looks, then how can you be attracted to me?"
* Shiva` steps out of the bar.
<Xanatos> You tell me. I never thought that part out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not know!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans against a wall as Shiva walks out. "Hey you."
<Xanatos> *Theron blinks. "Um. Hello."
<Xanatos> Well hmm. If you do not like your looks, and it bothers you that I like your looks...wait. It's because it is Kat's looks and that means I also like the way Kat looks. Is that what bothers you?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances to the side.
<Terra> "... that's not something I can answer."
<Terra> "She's either significant to you, or she's not."
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad glides over to Theron, looking at him closely. "...It is an honor to sense a Guardian nearby."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Looks like the kid found a new shiney Terra."
<Terra> "Seems so."
<Xanatos> <Theron> And it is an honor for me to meet you as well.
<Xanatos> If it was simply looks, then that means I could go to Katrina, since she could easily give me love as you have stated. But it's much much more than that. This, what we're doing. It's not easy. But I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I am Kaltar Kalan, of Kieran's Brood, and what is your name Guardian?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at him. "Very well."
<Xanatos> <Theron> My name is Theron. I serve under the Ambassador Arhnya of the Erusian Ascendancy.
<Xanatos> Beside. Hitting a bag is boring, wouldn't you rather try to hit me? *he smirks*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not wish to injure you.
<Xanatos> Oh? I'm a tough old bird. You sure I wouldn't injure you instead?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises up to eye him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should not make such bold comments.
<Seraphna> * Kaltar goes dim for a moment, before her suit light back up, "...Arhnya... you say?"
<Xanatos> <Theran> That is my ladies' name.
<Seraphna> * In the dark quarters of the Vapaad, Kieran's blue main lense turns a deep shade of red. "...The time has come for children to misbehave..."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Was she not on the Great Journey into Darkness aboard the PAX vessel?"
<Xanatos> Your fighting style is simply what you have picked up from Ariel and the others. All of Katrina's memories are lost to you, as are her skills. So now that leaves me to wonder. Has your fighting skill changed?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6She looks even more annoyed.
* Xanatos smiles. "Only one way to prove me wrong."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Which is?
<Xanatos> A spar. Show me just how well you can fight if you are unable to use your powers.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will not hold back if you are injured.
<Xanatos> Then what's the worse that can happen? I die....again?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not joke about such things.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Now, tell me when you are ready.
<Xanatos> <Theran> I do not know what you mean.
<Xanatos> I was born ready sweetheart. *he grins, winking at Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes narrow, and her hand jabs out at his windpipe.
* Xanatos slides to the left, easily bringing up a hand to knock her hand out wide.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not a sweetheart. 6She jabs at his shoulder.
* Xanatos pulls his hand up to catch hers. "Not even mine?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is caught, so she punches at his gut.
* Xanatos just tightens his muscles, taking the blow. "...well that hurt a little."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis narrows her eyes, kicks back and hits the door control, then, while Xan still holds her first arm, throws herself out into the hallway so his arm is between the doorways, and she mashes the button to close it
* Xanatos gets his arm mashed and howls in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes herself free.
* Xanatos kicks for the controls, to free his arm.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...She was onboard the ship to leave this Galaxy that the humans made, did she not go with them?"
<DeathStar> 6* The doors open up again.
<Xanatos> <Theran> I do not know. I was not there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may surrender now if you desire.
<Xanatos> Jesus, that was trixy. He left his left arm hang limp to his side.
<Xanatos> NRP: Yeah that was an action*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains in the hallway.
<Xanatos> You mashed my arm in a door. It was smart, but i'm still standing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She remains in the hallway.
* Xanatos smirks and steps into the hallway now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back, keeping his longer reach in mind.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then perhaps you should strike me now.
<Xanatos> Oh now I can't hit a girl. That would be rude.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks angry.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am no girl.
* Xanatos smiles. "Looks like that was button number two on the 'piss Erevis off' keypad." He holds his right arm up, ready. "Prove it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into range of his fist.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...What do you mean, you must be present to know of an event of the past?"
<Xanatos> Ooooh. I do believe you are baiting me for a wild attack so that you may counter. You know that going toe to toe with me will cause you to lose. So now you plan to outsmart me. A small feat by all means.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Guardians are quite mysterious."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A 'small' feat?
<Xanatos> Outsmarting me. It's not hard. Brain damage. You know?
<DeathStar> 6* ERevis throws a punch with her right hand.
<Xanatos> <Theran> I do no impose on Yloi matters.'
* Xanatos slides his right hand out to knock her punch wide.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...But our intellect learned of hear death on that journey..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis uses her left hand to jab up at his arm when he does so
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...How is it she is here?"
<Xanatos> <Theran> I do not know. Nor is it my place to say.
* Xanatos suddenly pulls his left arm up to catch her left hand, he winces, clearly it hurts to move it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hops to headbutt him
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I see... could you please tell her that Ambassador Kieran would like to speak with her soon?"
<Xanatos> <Theran> I will pass on the request.
* Xanatos widens his eyes and takes the headbutt, he steps back shaking his head. "I imagine that hurt you more than it did me...." He pauses, "And were you going for a pressure point? I didn't know that you knew about those."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back, showing nothing on her face. "I fought Chad before. He used them to beat me. I do not like being beaten."
<Xanatos> I imagine not. Then I hope that I do not upset you much when I show you just how awesome I am. *he smiles at her*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are losing because you do not fight back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into his range again
<Xanatos> Biding my time. Then when you least expect it. POW, right in the kisser.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow.
* Xanatos slides forward and throws a wide right.
<DeathStar> 6* ERevis ducks, jabbing at his arm again
* Xanatos angles his arm so that she doesn't strike the specific nerve, but it would still hurt. He slams his knee upward toward her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit, stumbling back.
* Xanatos doesn't stop, his left leg comes forward low, aiming to sweep her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is tripped, falling onto the hallway floor.
* Xanatos takes a step back, he drops his right arm, slowly tightening his fist once or twice. She damn near got that nerve.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, with her back to him.
<Xanatos> In a real fight. You just died.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I've been holding back.
<Xanatos> Well that's terrible to hear.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> so have you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face him again.
<Xanatos> I want to test your skill. Not beat you to a bloody pulp.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "Well it was nice meeting you Guardian. I have to report in."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is why I am not going all out on you
<Seraphna> *Kaltar rotates towards the door.
<Xanatos> <Theran> You as well...Kaltar was it?
<Xanatos> So that should you ever have to really fight me, you'll have a trick or two up your sleeve?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is no trick to it. I simply do not want to hurt you.
* Xanatos lowers his guard. "Alright. We don't have to do this. Especially since we don't really want to hurt each other."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you admit defeat?
<Xanatos> Defeat? Psh. It's a tie if it is anything.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "Yes... I am Kaltar. I will see you soon Guardian."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not accept that.
<Seraphna> *Kaltar glides out.
<Xanatos> Then you'll have to hurt me.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "...GOd those things are wierd."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. I will try not to break your bones.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes.
<Xanatos> <Theran> Merely different. And you are?
* Xanatos tilts his head.
<Seraphna> *Kaltar stops short.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, some sweat trinkling down the side of her head as she steps forward.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...What... is that..."
<Xanatos> <Theran> What?
<Terra> "I wonder if that armour isn't more a life support system than anything..."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I sensed... Hyperspace..."
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Uh oh. I think I might actually have to get serious now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis punches at his arm, to see if he'll block it.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "It is Terra, they can't breathe our atmosphere."
<Terra> "Mmm..."
* Terra seems thoughtful, understanding
<Seraphna> Elayne> "...Did she just say Hyperspace?"
* Xanatos just slides low under the punch, pulling his left fist forward for her gut.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit, making a nose. She knees up at his chest.
<Terra> "Maybe it's a ship docking?"
<Xanatos> <Theran> I'm sure it is nothing.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...No... it is small but building from within the station..."
<Terra> "If it was dangerous, security would deal with it."
* Xanatos takes the hit and grunts, he twists his body so that he may grab for the back of her left leg, attempting to pull he rup to trip her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis brings her fist down at his head.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...It is dangerous... very dangerous..."
<Xanatos> <Theran> I have faith that these humans are more than capable of handling their station.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Isn't that... Wind guy made of Hyperspace?"
<Terra> "Then security will deal with it."
<Xanatos> <Theran> Wind?
<Terra> "Some guy from another world or something."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Yeah, a Hyperspace being that was released on earth, nearly destroyed the galaxy, remember the tearing?"
<Xanatos> <Theran> That was this Wind? Oh...that is not good then.
<Terra> "Was that last bit really Wind?"
* Xanatos stumbles low, arm still holding behind her leg, he twists again and attempts to pull his right arm up to hit her in the chin.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the chin, her head rolling.
* Xanatos pulls up his left hand now, to pull her feet out from under her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hits the ground, but her foot snaps out, attempting to kick Xan
* Xanatos is kicked and slides back, shaking his head. "You're cheating."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "Very worrying... very worrying... maybe the Elders spoke truely... I must go..." *she glides out hurriedly*
<Xanatos> <Theran> ...this does not bode well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, blood running down her lip. Her skin is faintly red. "I am not using psionics."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "If it's got those guys creeped out... yeah probably not good."
<Terra> "..." *sighs*
<Xanatos> But you are using your hyperspace energy. If I were near a plant I'd totally have it tickling you right now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not cheating. 6She warns him darkly.
<Xanatos> If you say so. *he grins and holds out both of his hands* Free shot.
<Terra> "I hope I don't end up having to fight again."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis approaches him, sweat running down her face. Her breathing goes a bit labored as she approaches.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Then don't fight... not everyone is made for it."
<Terra> "... that's not what I meant."
<Xanatos> <Theran> Sometimes bloodshed is the only way for peace to be fully achieved. And Yes. Everyone is made for mighting.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dashes forward, throwing a punch at his jaw.
* Xanatos tilts his head. "You alright?" he is hit in the jaw and stumbles back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis punches at his gut.
<Terra> "'made for' fighting..."
* Xanatos is hit in the gut, he urcks and doubles over.
* Terra sighs again
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Not me, I'm a healer, not a fighter."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cups her hands together, lifting them up over her head and bringing them down at his back.
* Xanatos is hit in the back and slams into the ground. He groans.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Now you are dead.
* Xanatos slowly pulls himself to his feet. "1 to 1. Lucky shot."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks exhausted, despite barely fighting.
<Xanatos> Hyperspace really takes alot out of you. I wouldn't rely on it when it came to a big fight.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is destroying this body's cells. 6She admits.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Even healing is a way to fight.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Then stop using it!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> After I make it 2 to 1.
<Xanatos> No. You win. I'm not going to let you kill yourself to prove a point. I'm not as stubborn as you are.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Shouldn't I test their limits?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Odd way to put it, but okay. I guess my battle mojo is curing sick people and patching up people dumb enough to fight things too big for them."
<Terra> "..."
<Xanatos> <Theron> It would appear so.
<Seraphna> * Elayne looks at Terra. "What... you know people like that, you're here."
<Terra> "... yeah..."
* Xanatos shakes his head. "You're killing yourself. Even I wont put up with that."
<Terra> "I'd usually say 'spirited enough', though."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> All I need is a few more minutes. 6She seems to be drifting closer into strike range.
* Xanatos tenses up. "We'll see if you have those precious minutes left in you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis punches at Xanatos' bad arm.
* Xanatos takes the hit and comes forward with his right arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis ducks low.
* Xanatos pulls the arm down to grab her hair.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces in pain
* Xanatos pulls his knee up for her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the face hard. She goes wild, and throws herself at him, despite having her hair.
<Terra> "I mean... you don't always have the option to not fight."
<Xanatos> <Theran> Those that do not fight. Die.
* Xanatos is caught by surprise by that, and goes rolling with Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Moments later, Erevis and Xanatos can be seen on the deck with al lthe stores and bar. Erevis throws a fist at Xan's face.
<Terra> "More or less. I don't want to have to, but... I may have to."
<DeathStar> 6* Some patrons glance over, then back to their drinks.
* Xanatos takes the hit but pulls back up to aim for her stomach.
* Terra blinks at the fighters
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit, falling off to the side.
<Xanatos> *Theron notices the fight, he makes an odd face. "Is this...normal?
<Xanatos> Yield. *he says, breathing heavy*
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Only on this station."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, her skin looking sunburned. "Never."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kicks at his head.
* Xanatos ducks low and pulls up to catch her leg.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I think the dark haired one is trying to court the red haired one."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is caught, blood running down her face.
* Xanatos spins and swings her around for a wall.
<Terra> "Last I heard. This is either extreme training, or they're having a quarrel."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hits the wall hard.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Court? Oh so they are quarreling.
<Terra> "Wouldn't surprise me."
<DeathStar> <Patron> That's the chief of security. No doubt she's a criminal.
* Xanatos slides forward and wraps his arms around her. "Yield. Please."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "You sure? They look like they're performing some kind of mating ritual, the dark haired one keeps looking at the red haired one's chest."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stumbles as Xanatos grabs her.
<Xanatos> <Theron> No doubt because they are so large and viluptuous.
<Terra> "No doubt."
<Xanatos> Yield. *he repeats holding her*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to jab his shoulder.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "See, now he wants the female to yeild to him."
<DeathStar> <Patron> Wow, she looks pretty bad. Is all that blood necessary?
* Xanatos winces but doesn't release her. "Please. Stop."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Dunno, you humans attracted to blood?"
<DeathStar> <Patron> Uh, no
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finally just leans against him, going limp. "Very well."
<Terra> "No."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Then probably not."
<Xanatos> <Theron> It seems they are finished.
* Xanatos instantly kneels down to lift her up in his arms, despite the injuries and moves off for the medbay. "I almost lost myself there for a moment."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Oh who am I kidding, I pretended to be one of you creatures for a long time... but dear god I hope they don't do it in the hall."
<Xanatos> <Theron> It?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mumbles something about using psionic powers to crush him next time
<Terra> "Yes. It."
<Terra> "Sounds like she doesn't like losing."
<Xanatos> It's a date. *he says simply, moving into medbay now.*
<Xanatos> <Theron> What is...It?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Sex. Mating."
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "... What happened here?" *sounds more tired than surprised*
<Xanatos> <Theron> Oh they are going to mate in the hallways? That is very rude.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes Xanatos off of her, getting to her feet. "Nothing at all." 6She turns to go.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Very."
<Terra> "No, they're not. But for a moment, we thought they would."
<Xanatos> Don't ask. Just make sure she is ok. *he slides in front of Erevis* Since she clearly needs medical attention. *he eyes Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically shoves him this time.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "... alright." *checks on Erevis*
* Xanatos grumbles. "Damnit, stop being so stubborn." He moves after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing, just putting a hand to stop the bleeding herself.
<Xanatos> <Theron> It seems i've got much to learn about humans.
<DeathStar> <Doctors> *mumble about Xan being a wife beater*
* Xanatos slides in front of her again. "Come'on, at least get yourself checked out."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Seems we all do... Theron... was it?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am perfectly fine. I have injures to my nose and mouth, and my stomach. And a cracked rib. I will survive.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Yes Madam. And you are?
<Terra> "Even some humans have."
<Xanatos> But you would be better quicker if you got the doctor's help.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glares at him.
<Xanatos> Stop being stubborn.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just eyes Peace' cutting instruments, then her long hair.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. 6She goes to get Peace to cut her hair.
<Xanatos> What are you doing!?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am removing this weakness.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Elienhiem Hianule, of the Atlanteans." *she puts out a hand, she looks human, save for odd tigerlike streaks of pure ebony skin across her body, and almost unnaturally ice blue eyes*
<Xanatos> I meant medical help. *he sighs*
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "... you'll heal faster if you let me help you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just sits down, sulking
<Xanatos> *Theron hesitates a moment before taking her hand and shaking it. "Forgive me. I rarely...touch."
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles, "Them I'm honored to be in the rarity for you."
* Xanatos sighs and sits down across from her. "You hurt me." He notes, holding his chest.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You pulled my hair.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "..."
<Xanatos> I'm sorry. I did not realize the reprocussions of that action.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad to know about it. I will remove all the hair after this check up.
<Xanatos> Please don't.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why not?
<Xanatos> I like your hair.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... you pulled it.
<Xanatos> ...I said I was sorry. I'll never pull it again.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I'm merely a guard. You shouldn't be honored by me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes it. "I still say it should be removed."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is your opinion, Doctor Peacemaker?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "The Vapaad seemed excited enough, when a Sage seems honored, maybe we all should."
<Xanatos> <Theron> I do not know much about the Vapaad. But i'm sure she was just excited to meet knew people.
<Terra> "I think you look better with it long, but if you want it short, I can't blame you."
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *says that*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I mean no hair.
<Xanatos> You have to have some hair.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
<Seraphna> ELayne> "She called you a Guardian."
<Xanatos> <Theron> I am a guardian to my ambassador.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces whenever Peace works on her nose.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "... that would be odd. Isn't short hair good enough?"
<Xanatos> Only old people have no hair at all.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Only if it short enough it cannot be grabbed.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "You think she knew that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods at one doctor's crew cut. "That will do."
<Xanatos> <Theron> I was under the impression that the Vapaad were psychic?
* Xanatos makes a face and sighs. "I'm so amazing..." he mumbles.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What?
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "I'm sure it won't be grabbed again.." *eyes Xan*
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Yes, but they usually only read minds if given permission."
<Xanatos> Yeah i'll never touch it again.
<Terra> "They just record what your mind looks like normally?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him and Peace.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Perhaps this one does not understand such rules.
<Terra> "Maybe."
<Xanatos> ...cut it short if you must. But you have to have some hair.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I will leave it as it is.
<Xanatos> <Theron> And you, bartender, what is your name?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Oh she does, I saw her... ummm... leader scolding her for nearly ripping out the memories of some poor officer."
<Terra> "Terra Kershaw."
* Xanatos breathes a sigh of relief.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up after she thinks Peace has had enough time to fix her.
<DeathStar> 6* Even if Peace wasn't really done.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> *has finished*
<Xanatos> <Theron> It is nice to meet the both of you. I was afraid I would scare people off, since i'm not used to other beings.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves away slowly, her skin still pinkish, but going back to it's pale white color.
* Xanatos hops up and moves after her, waving to Peace. "Thanks, Peace."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes Xan's hand into her own when he catches up.
<Terra> <Peacemaker> "Try not to get injured again too soon?"
<Terra> "It's nice to meet you too."
* Xanatos takes her hand and smiles to her. "I'm sorry, again. I seemed to lose myself there for a moment."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> When?
<Xanatos> During the fight. It was odd.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Odd? You were fighting properly finally.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the bar with Xanatos, still holding his hand.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Cheers."
<Xanatos> So it would seem. *he sucks on his split lip, not having any medical attention from peace*
<Xanatos> <Theron> It seems they have finished their mating ritual.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And you find that odd? 6She turns to look at Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares.
<Xanatos> Well when it comes to y-*he pauses and eyes Theron* Come again?
<Xanatos> <Theron> I...did I speak out of line? I was refferin to your quarral earlier, were we wrong to assume you were going to mate afterwards?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, her cheeks going red again, and she turns to step out.
* Xanatos sighs. "Please...mind your own business." He turns and moves after Erevis.
<Xanatos> *Theron glances at the two. "What did I do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along quickly for her quarters.
<Xanatos> Erevis! *he runs up beside her* He doesn't understand...clearly you realized that.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing.
* Xanatos turns to get in front of her yet again. "You're embarrassed, but i'm sure it was just a misunderstanding."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops again, getting annoyed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why do you always do that?
<Xanatos> Because if I don't you'll walk off and leave me. This is the only way I can get you to open up half of the time.
<Xanatos> *Theron glances between the two. "..." He stands and walks out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She goes to step around him
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Mmmm...? Have a good day THeron!"
<Xanatos> Just tell me you're alright and I'll leave you alone and let you rest.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not like the idea of people thinking we are mating.
<Seraphna> *Elayne goes back to her distant look.
<Xanatos> Then I will talk with him and straiten it out. I know Terra, and Elayne is just weird. I'll talk to them too. They wont think that for much longer.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rubs her jaw, making a face.
* Xanatos gently touches her jaw. "Does it hurt?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. It happens when one gets hit there repeatedly.
* Xanatos frowns. "I vote that we never do that again."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
<Xanatos> I don't like seeing you in pain. It makes me sad.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She makes a face at him.
* Xanatos grazes over a cut on her lip. "Unless you simply enjoy getting your butt handed to you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tenses up again. "I will fight you right now if you wish."
* Xanatos laughs. "I'm joking. Seriously. Sometimes you're just too stubborn for your own good."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... it is not funny!
* Xanatos smiles. "Is isn't?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... is.. isn't?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks confused now.
* Xanatos slides forward and lifts her up over his shoulder. "Oh, so easily confused." He turns and begins to take her toward her room.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... what are you doing! 6She demands.
<Xanatos> I am flirting. *he notes harmlessly, walking along*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not like flirting. Stop it now.
<Xanatos> But...*he sets her down, making a sad face* You ruin all the fun.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good. 6She notes sternly. And then proceeds to walk to her room
<Xanatos> Good!? You're supposed to feel sorry for me!
* Xanatos moves after her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not.
<Xanatos> But...but you are supposed too!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Too bad.
<Xanatos> Fine. *he slides in front of her when she gets to her door, taking her hand.* Rest well. *then he simply kisses her hand, then turns to walk off*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to complain about him getting in front of her agan, but stops when he kisses her hand and leaves.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-586.6.6 (2 days after Episode 1)
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan - Cheryl's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* After returning to the hospital with her baby, Cheryl has been resting comfortably when Ariel finally arrives from PAX 3
* Ariel rings the bell, after checking the address. It took her two days to get there, but she had taken the quicked form of transport she could find. She's tired.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Ariel comes face to face with ... Warren Carmichael. He stares at her a moment, his eyes narrowed a bit. "Ariel." 6He says her in name in greeting.
* Ariel bows her head, "Warren."
<Ariel> "May I come in?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps to the side so she can pass by into the apartment. "Of course. Cheryl is in the bedroom. She's awake."
* Ariel smiles, and steps inside. She removes her footwear, and heads to the bedroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shuts the door behind her, not following it seems. When Ariel enters the bedroom, she would see Cheryl in a rocking chair, holding a baby in her arms. She glances up, smiling at Ariel. "Ariel!" 6She says, her tone happy to see Ariel. "You're here."
<Ariel> "I would have been here sooner, but it seems your son will have the same anniversary as the PAX." *frowns a little* "And people managed to obscure the fact from me as long as they could."
* Seraphna comes up the hall and knocks on Cheryl's door. A bag of groceries in hand.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I would have told you myself, but Warren took me to the hospital right away, and the doctors just weren't helpful at all. I'm surprised Zephyr didn't contact you sooner. 6* She stands up, moving over to Ariel, holding the baby. "Ben, this is your grandmother." 6Cheryl has a devious smile on her face when she says the word grandmother.
* Ariel smiles, "She probally tried." She moves closer, "Aw... hello Ben. I suppose it'll be quite a while before you're calling me 'grand ma'." She glances at Cheryl, "...not that we need to hurry THAT along."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just smiles. "Here, hold him." 6She shifts Ben from her arms to Ariel's.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens the door, his eyes narrowing on Seraphna.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Crazy Dragoon girl.
* Seraphna smiles, "Hey there."
<Seraphna> "Groceries and here to see the family."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren quietly brings up a scanner, running it over the groceries.
<Seraphna> * They're clean.
<DeathStar> <Warren> There's broccolli in there. She hates broccolii. 6He notes flatly.
<Seraphna> "That's for me."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's eyes narrow at that.
<Seraphna> "They're good in salads."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cheryl has a visitor right now. We'll give them time alone. You can wait in the kitchen with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps aside.
<Seraphna> "I know she does." *she smiles and steps in, putting the groceries on the counter*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the groceries, then her. He motions at the cabinets.
<Seraphna> "Yeah yeah, know my way around the kitchen."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sips his tea, watching her.
* Seraphna puts things away. "Ben been keeping you up? You're grumpier then usual."
* Ariel cradles the baby, smiling softly. "...you know. I believe this may be a first for me..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I know it's a first for me. 6She crosses her arms. "And an only."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am not grumpy. I am very pleasant. 6He sips his tea.
* Ariel laughs a little, "It's odd. I never got to hold any of my own children like this..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can always have kids the old fashion way. 6She smiles, showing her teeth.
<Seraphna> "Mmmm... how do burgers sound tonight?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gives his usual grunt, opening up a book and reading it.
<Seraphna> "Ah yes, my Warren translator says, 'Of course Sera, I would love one!'"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good. It saves time talking.
* Ariel looks to Cheryl, "You eager for a new brother or sister?" She muses, "It would certainly be less painful."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you ask me, we have enough siblings running around. But, if you want a baby of your own... 6She shrugs, smiling a bit. "I wouldn't mind having another one."
* Seraphna pulls out the meats and other materials, and gets to work... for some reason, tying on a bandanna as she starts to cook.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up from his book, eyeing her.
<Seraphna> * The smell of tastey, cooking meat soon starts to fill the apartment.
* Ariel nods thoughtfully, "...it would be nice to have children of my own choice."
<DeathStar> <Warren> .oO (Crazy Dragoon Girl)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down on the bed, while Ben sleeps in Ariel's arms. "Indeed. Changing diapers, staying up all night to the sound of crying. I can see the appeal."
* Ariel shakes her head a little, and holds the peacefully sleeping babe towards Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes Ben back into her arms, smiling down at him, despite her words of annoyance a moment ago.
<Seraphna> "So boss, how are things?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Seraphna gets out plates.
<Seraphna> "Warren translator says, 'Just fine, you scare me terribly though, Crazy Dragoon Girl.'"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods approvingly.
* Seraphna puts a plate down on counter, setting a burger in it and putting a little stick with a sign on it in the top.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at the burger.
<Seraphna> * It says, "ENEMY!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren momentarily looks amused, then destroys his enemy with his teeth.
* Seraphna sets three others aside, the burgers are delicious, she's learned to cook!?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Clearly you have too much free time. 6He says after swallowing.
<Seraphna> "No boyfriend."
<DeathStar> <Warren> A shame.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll give you more work to do.
<Seraphna> "Terrible shame. It's the reason we're head of schedule on the fleet too.'
<Ariel> "Even with all of the... inconvience, I'm sure you wouldn't trade it for the world."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How big of a world? 6She asks, considering
<DeathStar> 6* Warren goes back to reading.
<Seraphna> "You should come inspect the Tachyon soon."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns the page in response.
<Seraphna> "Warren translator says, 'Of course, I would like to see the ship Cheryl will be commanding my vast fleet of ships from.'"
<DeathStar> <Warren> That would be assuming I cared. 6He glances up.
* Ariel just shakes her head in ammusement
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smiles at Ariel. "You're right. It is amazing." 6She stands up, moving Ben over to his crib. "You should see Warren with him. It's cute."
* Seraphna yawns a little.
<Ariel> "Warren... with a baby." *can't picture it*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren responds by eating a second burger, chewing it slowly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's something. 6She walks over and hugs Ariel hard. "So, how are things with you?"
* Ariel returns the hug. "Things are... interesting. 'Those guys' are back. And Loki was assigned on behalf of the Cartel."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl raises a brow. "Those guys?"
<Ariel> "You know..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "No, I don't."
<Seraphna> "So Warren..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren swallows the last of the burger, glancing at her.
<Seraphna> "How are you adjusting to the new time period?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I find it time-consuming.
* Seraphna leans over the counter.
<Ariel> "The Vapaad."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Who?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up again.
<Ariel> "...the egotistical psionic cyborgs that talk in riddles and metaphors. Remember?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to think back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't think I do.
* Ariel sighs a little. She DID tell Cheryl about things. "Well... prehaps that is best."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was probably drunk. 6She makes as a weak excuse. "I never did find all the political stuff all that interesting."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait, where they the aliens that Darien hid in his office for a solid week to avoid?
* Seraphna puts the other burgers under a plate to keep them warm and fresh.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sips his tea, turning another page in his book
<Ariel> "...that sounds about right."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smirks, putting an arm around Ariel, leading her out into the living room. "See, I listen."
<Ariel> "Hmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, thousands of light years away, Darien hides out in Xanatos' office
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, you and Darien been working together closely? 6She asks.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns as his door opens without a knock and Zephyr steps in, dressed in her military uniform. He sighs at her picking the lock, but says nothing. Zephyr bounces past Warren and Seraphna into the living room, grabbing Ariel from behind in a giant hug. "HI!"
* Seraphna descides it's safe to go in then. Walking in behind her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren throws up his hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just eats all the burgers in silent protest.
<Seraphna> "Hey Mom."
<Ariel> "Not as much so as I'd like..." *looks startled at the sudden hug*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds her tightly, completely blocking Sera from Ariel's view with her height.
* Seraphna defeated her by speaking.
* Ariel looks back slowly, "...you've grown, Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think I might be taller than you now. 6She stands up real close to Ariel to see.
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
* Seraphna walks up to join them, smiling to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches the not so young Zephyr try to steal all of Ariel's attention, and just looks amused
<Ariel> "Are you trying to out grow your mother now?"
<Seraphna> "Yeah, taller."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just smiles.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can't help it. It's in the genes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eats the last hamburger, nodding at his victory, and goes back to the book
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I bet I can pick you up now. 6She boasts to Ariel.
<Ariel> *smiles* "I can still pick you up now."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scoffs, crossing her arms. "Only if I let you."
<Ariel> "Oh, do you think so?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know so.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Sera, shrugs her shoulders, and moves to talk with WArren
* Seraphna shrugs back and waits a bit, watching Ariel and Zephyr.
* Ariel grabs Zephyr by the waist, and goes to sling her over her shoulder... despite Zephyr being the larger woman.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a noise, and attempts to get free.
* Seraphna grins at Ariel.
<Seraphna> "I see Mom can still win."
* Ariel uses Zephyr's height to put her off balance, and lifts her up. Yay, physics.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slumps and sighs. "No fair."
<Seraphna> "How are you Mom?"
* Ariel moves over, to put Zephyr down on the couch. "I'm... not doing badly."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms, doing her best to sulk
<Seraphna> "Not doing well?"
* Ariel looks at Zephyr, "...doesn't work so well when you don't look a day older than I do."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... not even a little?
<Seraphna> "Nope." *says it with such a tone...*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr ignores Seraphna completely.
<Ariel> "Things have been stressful, preparing the station... and no Zephyr. Not when it seems forced."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs, and hops up, moving to a window to look out it while Sera and Ariel talk.
<Seraphna> "So how's Darien?"
<Ariel> "Busy... there's been a lot to do."
<Seraphna> "Good to hear."
<Seraphna> "Anyone interesting at PAX?"
<Ariel> "I've yet to meet most of them."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr continues to look out the window, almost like a sniper searching the streets.
<Seraphna> "I see..." *she seems dissapointed about something*
* Seraphna walks over and hugs her gently, "I've missed you."
<Ariel> "What's wrong?"
<Seraphna> "I was hoping a friend of mine had showed up. That's all."
<Ariel> "A friend?"
<Seraphna> "Yes, ummm... it's kinda odd,..."
* Seraphna looks down
<Ariel> "Well, I'm not good with cryptic comments."
* Seraphna giggles a little, "Oh, I guess I'm acting like him, the Vapaad, Kieran."
<Ariel> "...no. I didn't meet him."
<Seraphna> "Oh, okay."
* Seraphna steps back a bit. "So ummm... out of things to say I guess."
* Ariel shakes her head a little. "Well... are things going well with Janus?"
<Seraphna> "Oh very, cleanup wasn't too hard, and ships are pumping out faster then planned."
<Ariel> "Where did you aquire the resources?"
<Seraphna> "Allies, the remains of ships that were already destroyed, a few deals, you know, the usual rush factors."
<Ariel> "You found consistant parts in the husks of destroyed ships?"
<Seraphna> "Enough to melt down and remake."
<Seraphna> "We saved time by simply creating teh resources and working from the ground up instead of trying to ressurect outdated ships."
* Ariel nods.
* Seraphna smiles, "I'd like to show them to yu someday, it's some of my finest work."
<Ariel> "Prehaps."
<Seraphna> "I ummm..."
* Seraphna just hugs her again. "Let's go join CHeryl and Warren?"

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-586.6.6 (2 days after Episode 1)
<DeathStar> Location: PAX 3
<Xanatos> *Theron has been using the past few days to get better aquainted with the PAX. He is currently on the observation deck, hands pulled behind his back as he stares out into space.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is under Xanatos' desk. Where some would say he belongs.
* Xanatos steps in, whisting as he moves over toward his desk, he round it so sit down and spots Darien, he pauses and blinks. "...I damn near just screamed like a girl."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Shhhh. Kieran is nearby.
<Xanatos> Who? Oh wait....Vapaad. *he shakes his head rubbing his temples* Why did you let those things back aboard anyway?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says nothing. Clearly, Xanatos talking to himself would draw attention.
<Seraphna> * Kieran stops in front of Xan's office.
* Xanatos just mumbles and goes to leave his office, coming face to face with Kieran.
<Shiva`> 6Loki moves down a hallway. A deck of cards shuffling about in his left hand.
<Xanatos> *Theron pauses and moment longer, then turns and lightly begins to step toward the hall.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...The light unfolds in present darkness."
<Xanatos> ....What?
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...A star is hidden in the guardians stronghold..."
<Seraphna> * Kieran peers at the desk.
<Xanatos> ...do you know another language beside batshit crazy?
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...The words of the old often fall deaf upon the very young..."
<Xanatos> Right so...could you please get out of my way? *he clearly doesn't like the Vapaad.*
<Shiva`> 6Loki splits the deck with his fingers and flips a card over, eyeing it.
<Xanatos> *Theron moves through the halls, hands pulled behind his back, he rounds a corner and sees Loki. "Ah, you are Ambassador Loki, correct?"
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<Seraphna> Kieran> *glides to one side* "...I seek the star in the stronghold..."
<Shiva`> 6Loki, eyes the card then Theron, then the card then Theron again. 1"I prefer Loki."
* Terra passes Kieran on the way to the observation deck, and shrugs. "Skies are full of them."
<Xanatos> You will stay out of my office. That area is classified.
<Xanatos> *Theron stops and then extends his hand. "I am Theron. Guard to the Ambassador Arhnya. It is an honor to serve on this ship, and meet people such as yourself."
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...The angry barbarian waves his sword..."
<Xanatos> ...whatever. *he just turns and walks off*
<Shiva`> 6Loki takes his hand shaking it. 1"Ahh, nice to meet your acquantence."
<Seraphna> * Kieran makes a strange clicking noise and glides away.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Forgive me if I seem a little...green. This is my first time serving away from Erusian military. And I'm slightly excited to be meeting people of other race.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Well, I've had plenty of experience with the Erusians and their Military.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Ah yes, you came to our aid in our most troubling time.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Past news. 6He waves his hand dismissively.
<Seraphna> * A Blue Vapaad glides up next to Theron and Loki, and looks at the each with a seperate lense.
* Xanatos pulls his hands behind his head as he moves, he rounds a corner and comes up beside Terra. "So, you're just doing the bartending thing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot walks by, wearing an eyepatch, glaring at the Blue Vapaad.
* Terra continues to the observation deck
<Terra> "Yeah."
<Terra> "Why?"
<Xanatos> *Theron glances at the Blue Vapaad. "Greetings..."
<Xanatos> Just curious. I didn't realize that you detested fighting so much.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...Greetings Guardian..." *her voice isn't as cheerful as before*
<Shiva`> 6Loki looks back at the Vapaad, his hand flipping another card over as he looks at the Vapaad.
<Xanatos> *Theron glances over to Loki and then the Vapaad again. "I trust these last two days have been...pleasant for you?"
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...THey have been well..."
<Xanatos> <Theron> That is good news. I was just introducing myself to Amb- I mean. Loki, here.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of the security office.
<Terra> "Well... it wore me down, I guess."
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...Loki Creature? It is good to meet you, I am Kaltar Kalan..."
<Shiva`> 6Loki slides the deck of cards into his pocket, he slides his hands behind his back as he looks at the Vapaad.
* Xanatos glances at Terra. "It is very trying. I will not lie. But to me, at the end of the day, to know that I have saved just one life, is the kick of energy to recharge my batteries.
<Shiva`> <Loki> Interesting name. 6He tilts his head slightly
<Terra> "I guess so.. I'm glad I don't have to fight now, though."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...THank you, I am pleased you find interest in my name..."
* Xanatos smiles. "Don't count yourself out just yet. You never know when I major crisis will round the corner and we'll need all able body crew." He winks, "And if that happens, you'll be one of the first I come too."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slinks around the main deck with all the shops
* Shiva` steps into the Omega Store, she glances around as she moves inside.
<Terra> "I guess I'm flattered."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, dressed in her little store outfit. Her face is a lovely shade of Erusian blue -- from bruises.
* Xanatos chuckles. "But until then. Keep yourself in stock of that Rum you sold me the other day. It was geat."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs in relief. "I think I lost him."
<Seraphna> Kieran> "...A star appears in the tapestry of the night sky..."
* Shiva` glances at Erevis as she looks around.
<Xanatos> *Theron glances between Loki and Kalan. "If you'll excuse me. I have more people that I wish to meet." He bows slightly and moves around the two.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you wish to make a purchase? 6She asks, giving Shiva a look that tells her saying no is a bad idea.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dives into a clothing store.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Enjoy your meetings THeron Guardian."
<Seraphna> * Kieran glides after him.
<Terra> "Don't worry, I will."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien has gone missing again inside the clothing store. Some clothes wiggle.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Thank you Kaltar. And you as well. *he rounds a corner and seems to be heading for the deck with the shops.
* Shiva` looks at her now. 1"It depends on what you all have for sale."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis motions at the various goods - games, computers, etc. etc.
<Shiva`> I didn't realize you liked it rough. 6She glances at her bruises now.
<Seraphna> * Kieran is gone again...
* Xanatos smiles once again and then nods. "I've got to go check on the personnel currently on duty. Excuse me." He takes the next right, moving off from Terra.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Rough? We do not sell rough.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of the clothing store, wearing a furry coat.
<Shiva`> I was referring to your lovely shade of black and blue. 6She points to her face.
<Xanatos> *Theron steps up to Darien. "General Starr. It is an...honor...to meet you."
<DeathStar> 6* The furry coat turns toward Theron.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh! Hello.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> These are battle wounds. Now, is there a particular item you desire?
<Shiva`> 6Loki stares at the Vapaad.
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad stares back.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I've been attempting to meet everyone aboard the station and introduce myself. I believe you have been the hardest to keep up with. *he extends his hand* I am Theron, Lady Arhnya's guard.
<DeathStar> 6* The furry coat's arm extends, with no hand there. "Welcome to the PAX 3."
<Shiva`> 6Loki just waves and turns, moving to walk off.
<Xanatos> *Theron tilts his head from the right then the left, after a moment he simply shakes the coat arm. "Thank you. It is an honor to be here. Forgive my rudeness whenever we arrived. It was my lady's wishes to perform my duties with honor."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course. Now, can you look around for me. Do you see any Vapaads?
<Xanatos> *Theron pauses and then glances around. "I...do not think so..." He doubles checks.
<Shiva`> Hmmm...6She turns moving along the sellable items, looking at everything.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits patiently.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in her counselor office, chewing on a pencil eraser.
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad watches him leave.
<Xanatos> <Theron> No. I mostly see humans. *he says after a moment*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls off the coat and tosses it back in the store.
<Xanatos> *A knock is heard at Katrina's door.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Enter. 6She chimes pleasantly, looking up.
* Xanatos steps in. "Yo."
* Xanatos is mostly healed up from the incident, though he still has the scab on his lip from the split lip he recieved.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Have the Vapaad been hunting you?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks immediately pissy and glances back down . "I'm busy. You need to schedule an appointment.
* Shiva` clicks his tongue and she moves across the way, still looking about
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think they believe I'm some chosen emmissary.
<Xanatos> <Theron> But isn't that a great honor?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows Shiva with her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not when I have to listen to 3 hours worth of riddles.
<Xanatos> Yeah I just came to see if you could check out this guy again. He keeps looking at me funny....and twitching...*he hands over his datapad with the info*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes the datapad. "I'll get aroudn to it." 6She tosses it down
<Xanatos> Because chewing on your pencil is much more proactive?
<Xanatos> <Theron> The vapaad I spoke too does not speak in riddles. Perhaps the one speaking in riddles is mentally unstable and should get help?
* Shiva` stops infront of a holoplayer. 1"So who is the manufacturer of this?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Serena Cran.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll let you suggest that.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You can go now.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Oh no I musn't. It would be too rude.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright.
* Shiva` taps it then turns, moving over to something else. 1"Everything here is of her designs then?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.

<Xanatos> ...fine fine. *he takes his datapad back and turns to leave* Sorry I interruped you.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Whatever.
* Xanatos just steps out.
<Shiva`> What would you say of the quality of the merchandise?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is top quality. 6She repeats, like she was taught.
<Shiva`> How trite...6She leans down, taking a closer look at something. 1"And what is this?"
<Xanatos> <Theron> I must find this. *he pulls out a datapad* Erevis. I was told by the chief of security that I should apologize to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes back to chewing her pencil eraser.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a scanner.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ...
<Shiva`> This is a scanner? 6She eyes it oddly.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Do you know her?
<DeathStar> <Darien> He should be the one apologizing to her for rearranging her face for her.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But, she's in some shop called Omega.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Shiva`> How much?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is 29.99
<Xanatos> <Theron> ...very well. It was good to meet you. I hope for great things from this place. *he gives a slight smile, a first for him, then turns and walks off, looking for the shop Omega.
<Shiva`> Seem's kind of cheap for a scanner.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches him go, then glances around slowly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot charge you more. I am sorry.
* Shiva` just shakes her head, a slight smile on her face. 1"What kind of warranty?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It has a lifetime guarentee.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along the deck again.
<Xanatos> *Theron steps in the shop Omega, he stops at the entrance and glances around slowly.
<Shiva`> And that price, I can see why...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
<Xanatos> *Theron steps up to Shiva. "Excuse me, but are you Erevis?"
* Shiva` looks over at Theron. 1"Oh god no.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides into the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Shiva.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Oh...i'm sorry, I was told Erevis was in this shop. I assumed, forgive me.
* Shiva` motions to Erevis. 1"She's the one you want then."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps looking at Shiva
<Xanatos> *Theron glances at Erevis. "Oh that's right. You were the one with Mr. Durran, correct?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... That is correct.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Then I am here to apologize for my rude statment in the bar a few days ago. I did not understand the situation clearly.
* Xanatos sits in the bar, sipping on a shot of rum.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Very well..
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits down, glancing around
* Shiva` glances back at Erevis. 1"I'll think about it. She turns, moving ot leave the bar.
<Xanatos> *Theron glances towards Shiva. "Excuse me. I do not believe we have met. I'm Theron. I'm attempting to meet everyone and present myself in a offer of good will."
* Xanatos glances at Darien and motions him over. "Round of me." He says.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm on duty.
<Shiva`> 6Shiva's long gone now.
<Xanatos> Oh. I'm taking a nice long lunch. I see you escaped the clutches of the Vapaad?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Indeed.
<Xanatos> I don't think I ever thanked you for giving me this chance. I owe you, man.
<Xanatos> *Theron blinks and glances at Erevis. "That one is a bit rude, is she not?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is Shiva Sevintes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmmhm. 6Darien glances around cautiously, then orders a sandwich from the bartender.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I will remember that. And you are Erevis. *he repeats as if using it to remind himself*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Xanatos> You alright? *he glances at Darien*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course. Are you?
<Xanatos> *Theron bows slightly. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you. Do you wish to purchase something?
<Xanatos> Hmmm. I believe Miss Myria purchased a game in here the other day. Do you have anymore?
<Xanatos> Can't complain. Things are a bit more stressful than I thought.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Wait just a minute. 6She grabs the game, and hands it over. "39.99."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That explains punching people around.
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien gets his sandwich and eats it.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I'm sorry. I mean, do you have any different ones? Miss Myria has already completed that one.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then switches it out with another.
* Xanatos pauses and glances at Darien. "You know me. Full of rage and anger."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Indeed. This is a delicious sandwich. 6He compliments the bartender.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Ah yes, She will be most pleased. *he fishes out the credits and hands them over to Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes it, bowing. "Thank you for doing business. Please come again."
<Xanatos> I guess you might be wondering why Erevis and I were fighting.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nope.
<Xanatos> *Theron bows as well, taking his game. "Enjoy your day." He turns and steps out.
<Xanatos> Well i'm gonna tell you anyway.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... I'm not Warren Carmichael, you know.
<Xanatos> I know. Warren would already know.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's because Warren would care enough to know.
* Xanatos leans his head back. "Ah, I see. Well regardless, I'm making sure I keep work and personal matter seperate. I'm actually trying to do things right this time. It's odd." He smirks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He nods slowly, chewing. "Feel free to knock her around all you want."
<Xanatos> Oh? Why's that?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just smiles, finishing his sandwich.
* Xanatos eyes Darien oddly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, placing down his credits. "Well, keep up the good work."
<Xanatos> ...I will. Keep up the good...hiding from the Vapaad.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out, leaving Xanatos alone at the mercy of Vapaads.
<Seraphna> * Kieran looms up at Darien's side. "...Starr..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien has ninja vanished, it seems.
<Seraphna> * Kieran returns to stalk... errr... wandering...
* Xanatos finishes his rum, then pays and steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tosses pencils at the ceiling.
* Xanatos steps in shop Omega moments later, holding a brown paper bag. "Hey there."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Welcome. Have you come to purchase something?
<Xanatos> Not today. But I did bring you something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am afraid I cannot accept bribes. If you do not desire to purchase something, I will have to ask you to leave. The management does not like loitering.
<Xanatos> Hey now. I brought you lunch. *he reaches the bag out to her*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot accept it while I am working.
<Xanatos> Can't you take lunch?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is not time.
<Xanatos> How long do you have till you get lunch? *he glances at the time*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 2 hours.
* Xanatos widens his eyes slightly. "Well I can't wait that long."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course you cannot. There is no loitering.
<Xanatos> ...I'm curious. What will you do if I do not leave?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will have to remove you and ban you from the store.
<Seraphna> * A Blue Vapaad enters the store.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly stiffens, ignoring Xanatos completely now.
* Xanatos arches a brow and then glances at the Vapaad, his jaw clenches as well and he turns to face it.
<Seraphna> * THe Vapaad looks about curiously, "...What is this establishment?..." *the voice is small, feminine, almost childlike*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a store. If you wish to purchase something, do so immediately.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...I wish to browse... I have... these things called credits?..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, watching the Vapaad's every move.
<Seraphna> * THe Vapaad seems more concenred with a holovid then either of them, it doesn't recognise Erevis at all.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...What is this thing nice sounding human lady?..."
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a holovid.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...Is it for viewing?..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Xanatos glances between Erevis and the Vapaad, he picks up the scanner that Shiva was looking at earlier and eyes it.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...I see..." *it holds up a game device* "...And this...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> it is an educational game.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...What does it educate?..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The person using it.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...What is the subject matter?..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Numbers.
<Seraphna> * Oddly, this Vapaad isn't talking in riddles, and it's direct...
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...Human mathematics! I will purchase it. How much?..."
* Xanatos is watching the two while he pretends to be interested in the scanner.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 39.99
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad's chest armor slides out a card and one of it's tendrils moves the card to Erevis' hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes the card.
* Xanatos shudders at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes it, then moves over to scan the card.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...May I ask your name?..." *it holds out the card to be taken, it's a card carrying credit*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Your card checks out. 6She finishes the transaction and hands the card back.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...Thank you! And what is your name kind human female?..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am Erevis. 6She says boldly.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...Ere-eh-vis... It is a pretty sounding name! I enjoy saying it. I am Kaltar Kalam! It is nice to meet you..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Er-eh-vis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Enjoy your game.
<DeathStar> 6* She turns and looks at Xanatos now. "Do you wish to purchase the scanner?"
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Thank you very much!..." *she suddenly notices Xan* "...And who are you...?"
<Xanatos> Not sure. Does it scan everything? *he holds it up to try it out on Erevis* I'm Xan. Xanatos Durran.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him like he's being rude.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Xanatos..." *her suit makes a strage noise, then does it again*
* Xanatos blinks at Erevis and sets the scanner down, then glances at Kaltar.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Very interesting mental imprints! Thank you very much, I shall remember you both very well!..."
<Xanatos> Yeah. You too. Enjoy learnin those numbers.
<Xanatos> Watch out for the 7s. They are tricky.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing about the mental imprint comment, looking as crpytic as ever.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I shall remember this. Xanatos Durran. And Erevis..."
<Seraphna> * Kaltar glides out then stops, turning. "...The ill unease of hidden minds! Erevis, are you frightened of something?..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is in my mind is not yours to recognize.
* Xanatos tenses up, eyeing Kaltar now.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...It is the only way we can remember those we meet. You need not fear me Nice Lady Erevis. I am only here to make friends!..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not your friend.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And I do not fear you.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I see... that is very sad... and also good that I do not scare you, I would hate to make trouble. Is there some reason you are so tense at my presence?..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing,.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Have my people wronged you in some way...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis still says nothing.
<Xanatos> Just drop it and go along your way.
<Seraphna> * The voice grows quieter and a bit sad, "...Very well... it was nice meeting you both..."
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad turns and slowly glides off, much like a discouraged child.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains tense, even after it has left.
* Xanatos frowns and glances at Erevis. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be thinking about something, as if seeing far off into the future.
<Xanatos> You alright?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. 6She says simply, turning toward him. "The scanner?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina passes the Vapaad.
<Xanatos> Yeah...I'll buy it. *he fishes around in his pockets for the credits* Wait. How much?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 29.99.
<Xanatos> Oh? That's actually not bad. *he hands over the cash* Can you wrap it up for me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That will be another 9.99
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches it float by, watching it with slight curiousity.
<Xanatos> Oh...well I was just trying to see if you would do it. Nevermind, I'll just take it like this.
<Seraphna> * It stops and turns, looking at Katrina. "...Hello..." *it's voice sounds pained and quiet*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello. Are you okay?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, takes the credits, and hands over the scanner in a bag.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...I'm afraid I have upset someone..."
<Xanatos> So now that i'm a customer. Can I hang around here for a bit?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Aww, really? 6She kneels there, despite it being bigger than a child.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What happened and who?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...do you not have duties to perform?
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...Yes... the Nice Lady Erevis... she did not like my presence, and would not make friends..."
<Xanatos> ...yeah yeah. *he makes a face, much like a child*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, she's a b--- She's mean. Don't let her bother you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She raises an eyebrow, giving him a strict look
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...I am not supposed to distress anyone on the Great PAX Station..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, you didn't do anything. It's all her. Not you. 6She stands up and pats the encounter suit comfortingly.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...Thank you Kind Lady... what is your name?..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I'm Katrina. Katrina McCormick. And what's your name?
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "...I am Kaltar Kalan, it is good to meet you..." *her voice appears to be cheering up*
<Xanatos> You ruin all my fun! *he huffs and steps out*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Kaltar.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him leave.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Hello Nice Lady Katrina... would you like to be friends...?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That would be nice.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> *makes that strange noise again* "...There, I have taken a mental imprint, you have a very nice one..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why, thank you. 6She smiles.
* Xanatos is just walking around scanning things now.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I am here on a learning mission, the Elders said the time is coming soon and that the Young must learn to take the places of the Old..."
* Xanatos walks by and scans Kat as he passes, his pauses and eyes the scanner. "Hmmm." he says simply, continuing on.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up at Xanatos, watching him go. She turns back to Kaltar. "Well, that's wonderful. Are you learning a lot?"
* Xanatos scans a plant. "So...this is a plant...interesting."
<DeathStar> <Plant> .oO (And this is a moron)
<Xanatos> Hey I can hear your thoughts!
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I am learning many things, like that the Guardians have come to this place, the one called Shiva is very interesting but I do not think she likes me much, and there are many strange forms of human, especially the Starr..."
<DeathStar> <Plant> .oO (Uh, no you didn't)
<Xanatos> Oh? Then how do I know what you're saying?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, you could say Darien Starr isn't really a human anymore.
<DeathStar> <Plant> .oO (You're thinking these thoughts)
<DeathStar> 6* People walk past Xan talking outloud to a plant.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...You could? But his biological signatures indicate he is Terran..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should scan better. 6She smiles again.
* Xanatos glances at the people and then the plant. "Oh great, now people think i'm crazy."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I will inform Ambassador Kieran!..."
<DeathStar> <Plant> .oO (I could have told you that)
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure Kieran will love to talk to him about it. 6She giggles.
<Xanatos> Well you didn't. Geez.
<DeathStar> <Plant> .oO (Besides, I'm a plastic plant. And plastic plants can't talk)
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...You are very nice Katrina McCormick! I am happy to have met you..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And I'm happy to have met you, Kaltar Kalan!
* Xanatos stares. "Oh...well now I know i'm crazy."
<DeathStar> <Plant> .oO (Well, good. Now you can go)
<Xanatos> ...
* Xanatos eyes the plant for a moment then walks away.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> *is it could smile you bet it would be right now* "...I detect mental ability in your signature... would you care to share a melding with me?..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there as Xan walks past him, a raised eyebrow.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can only read emotions. I wouldn't call myself very talented in mental abilities or melds.
<Xanatos> I'm not crazy. *he says simply to Darien as he passes by. Then he pauses and turns to scan Darien*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the scanner, then Xanatos. "Clearly."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...That is a pity, it is a most enjoyable way of exchanging information...."
<Xanatos> What, I had to buy this thing to talk to Erevis while she was working.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... That is so many levels of sad.
<Xanatos> Welcome to my world.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And what does your scanner say about me?
<Seraphna> * Elayne walks down the hall, in Xan and Darien's direction.
<Xanatos> You're dead. Ho ho. Kidding, you're nearly human congrats.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I believe it. Maybe if I get better.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, that's an improvement from being a machine, I guess. 6He smiles a crazy little smile.
<Xanatos> ...And people call me crazy.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Because you are.
* Xanatos glances at Elayne and scans her for good measure.
<Xanatos> Well that's beside the point.
<Seraphna> *Elayne reads 100% Atlantean.
<Xanatos> 34 C. Nice.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He glances at the scanner
<Seraphna> Elayne> "...Thank you. Does it also make fries?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... not bad. What was Erevis?
* Xanatos hides it from Darien's view. "Classified." He smirks, then glances at Elayne. "Nah but it makes some mean scalloped taters."
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien continues his patrol.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "What I'd expect from a Serena Cran invention."
<Xanatos> Actually all it does it tell the race. It's kinda lame.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Mmm... she's gone simple? No coffee makers in the side of Holovids?"
<Xanatos> Apparently not. I got your breast size from eye, since you know...i'm not crazy.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Impressive ability there."
<Xanatos> Not really, I don't believe an enemy is ever going to judge my ability to name cup sizes.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Depends on the enemy and battlefield. So... how are you doing Mr. Durran?"
<Xanatos> Scanning things and avoiding coming across a mess of ensigns not doing their job. And you, how are you doing Elayne?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I'm getting along, trying to keep myself busy with the whole helping to lead my race."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins her lunch back, opening up the bag that Xanatos brought her and moving to the bar with it
<Xanatos> Oh yeah? I imagine that would be loads of fun. *he waves his hand around, dramatically* I imagine your life has been all work and no play for the last little bit then.
<Seraphna> * Elayne looks a little distant for a moment, "I'm afraid the play in life is gone for me."
<Xanatos> *Xan made her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Also there are some pretzels and a bottle of water.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes it, then quietly hands the bag to the bartender, and orders a salad.
* Xanatos tilts his head. "I can tell. You should take a day off every now and then and just mingle with the people around the station."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I'll try that... thank you Mr. Durran."
<Xanatos> No problem. You have any security problems...call someone else. I'm too busy scanning things. *he smirks*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to discuss human social interactions with the Vapaad while the scene is busy with Elayne and Xan
<Seraphna> * Elayne smiles, "I hope that thing keeps you amused.
<Xanatos> I'll probably just lose it in an hour. *He glances to his hand to see it is gone* Damnit...see?
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...So that is why they seem to look funny when I use the grapplers, most humans use these... hands to interact?..."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Good going." *she puts a hand on his shoulder* "Take care, alright Mr. Durran?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Exactly. Plus, I'm afraid human society has put, um, strange ideas on the concept of tentacles.
* Xanatos glances at her hand before nodding. "Yeah yeah. Don't worry about me. And it's just Xan." he steps back and nods, "See you around."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I see, that may put a damper on some intergalactic relations with Humans... I have met many species with tentacles..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Some girls might like it.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "See you soon Mr. Durran." *she smiles pleasently and returns to her aimless walk*
* Kit is now known as Kitzzzune
* Xanatos goes to walk away and pauses, hearing Kat's conversation all the way where he is standing. He glances back at her, staring for a moment*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is smiling, clearly joking, and enjoying her talk with the Vapaad. She always did enjoy new alien races.
* Xanatos slowly turns back around and walks away.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Some human females enjoy tentacles? Interesting... do you know why the Shiva Creature stares in such a strange manner at me?..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Shiva is ---- delicate. You should just keep it in mind she's not your typical humanoid.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I will, she seems to be very interesting despite her hostile imprint..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think she's interesting, too. But don't tell her I said that. 6She winks.
* Xanatos sits down beside Erevis in the bar. "PB&J not good enough for ya, eh?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I... well.. 6She looks flustered, and stops eating her salad.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Noted, is something damaged in your eye Ms. Katrina?..."
<Xanatos> Really...I slaved over that for a good hour. I scrapped many pieces until it was just right, and I even carved a little heart in the peanut butter, only to realize it dissappeared when I put the pieces together.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No, no. That was a wink. It's the human way of expressing a sign or something. Or, if you say something that one person might not understand and you wink at the person did understand. It's a way of passing a message from one person to another without letting others know. Also, some humans wink when they're flirting.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sorry. 6She sounds truly ashamed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks along the deck with the Vapaad. Most people give them a wide berth.
* Xanatos smiles. "I'm just teasing. Look I got a new scanner." he holds up his hand and then remembers he lost it. "Err...I had a new scanner."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks pissed for a moment.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I sold you the scanner...
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...I see, humans have many odd ways of communicating with thier bodies, I am afraid I am unable to do so in this Encounter Armor..."
<Xanatos> I know. I'm not crazy. *he repeats, seems he is having a bad day*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That is limiting. But, you shouldn't stop studying humans.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis still looks a little annoyed, and goes back to eating.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Thank you, I will try my best to learn of your people..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, what sort of atmosphere do you live in?
<Xanatos> I'm upset you. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I will get over it. 6She chews on a pickle in her salad.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina passes the bar, glancing toward it at Xanatos.
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...65% Carbon Dioxide, 25% Chlorium Sulfide, 10% Oxygen..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. That would explain the need for the suit.
* Xanatos places his hand on her shoulder. "To be honest, that was my lunch that one of the ensigns made me. I just couldn't stand telling the poor boy I didn't want it."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Yes, we are unable too process your oxygen rich atmospheres..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks even more annoyed now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, considering that.
<Xanatos> I'm joking. I'm joking. I really did make it. But I was in a rush, I had planned on making some turkey, but then I realized it made you sleepy and you still had work to do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She suddenly stands up. "I am leaving."
* Kit[Work] has joined #taw
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...There is some trouble with the fact that we are not allowed to reveal the inner self to others..."
* Kitzzzune has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Xanatos pauses. "What? What'd I do?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am tired of all your untrue stories. I never know what you're telling me is the truth. You even use words like 'to be honest', but you are not. I do not like having my emotions toyed with."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess that would be trouble. I admit I am curious.
* Xanatos scratches his head, making a face. "Sorry. I'm having a bad day...I wont tell you untrue stories anymore..."
<Seraphna> Kaltar> "...Maybe perhaps in time, I can reveal my inner self to you..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe you. 6She snaps and walks out.
* Xanatos rubs his head. "Wonderful."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I look forward to that moment. 6She helps Kaltar to the side as Erevis storms out, and smiles at Kaltar.
* Xanatos slams his hand on the bar and stands, leaving as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, the plant uses the scanner on humans.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina spares Xanatos the misery of having her look at him when he steps out, and focuses on the Vapaad.
* Xanatos just storms off, he bumps into an ensign and chews him out, shoving him along.
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad happily continues to talk with Katrina for some time, eagerly asking many questions about human social life

<DeathStar> Stardate: Sometime after Episode 1
<DeathStar> Location: Special Ops Protection Holding Area
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans against the Holding Area wall, his head bouncing slowly against it
<Xanatos> *Marcus sits against the wall, his hand constantly tapping the ground beside him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly pushes off the wall. 1"God, I'm going to go fucking insane in here..."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You!? I was just carrying on a conversation with that pebble over there.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans and hops of to the bed and begins jumping up and down on it, the bed creaking in rhythm
<Xanatos> *Marcus' eyebrow twitches. "Could you please not do that."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not do what? 6He keeps bouncing
<Xanatos> <Marcus> THE BED. STOP JUMPING! You're making things worse!!!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias continues jumping, doing somersaults now. 1"HAH! I don't have to listen to you, ya pansy.
<Xanatos> *Marcus grinds his teeth, his eyesballs starting to budge. "OK THAT'S ENOUGH!" He stands up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands on his ass and bounces up and onto his feet. 1"What's enough?" 6He tilts his head as he bounces
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Are you really really bored?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Are you really really bored?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well duh.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well duh.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...I hate you.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I hate you.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Dias is a big stupid idiot.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Marcus is a big stupid idiot.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You're supposed to be copying me! Jesus christ, you can't even do that right.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're supposed to be copying me! Jesus christ, you can't even do that right.
<DeathStar> 6* The camera watches them. Who knows who is suffering on the other end
* Chad`Winters hops off the bed and moves really really close to Marcus. He slowly begins moving his hand towards Marcus' face
<Chad`Winters> *Dias*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ok i'm bored of this...*he swats Dias' hand away from his face* Come'on tough guy, teach me how to fight.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls his hand back, rubbing it as if he's hurt. He then moves it towards Marcus' face again
<Xanatos> *Marcus shoves Dias away from him. "Cut it out."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias then pauses. 1"Alright, first thing is you always have to challenge your opponent. Like this. 6He slides back and throws his challenge pose at Marcus
<Xanatos> *Marcus stares. "So I have to thrust my crotch forward when I pose?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pscht you wish. Just throw it out.
<Xanatos> *Marcus scratches the side of his head and then throws his own challenge pose at Dias.
* Chad`Winters darts in, slugging Marcus across the chin the second he throws the pose out
<Chad`Winters> *Dias*
<Xanatos> *Marcus gets hit and falls back against the wall. "What the fuck!?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> FIGHT ON! 6He leaps into the air and elbow drops Marcus.
