<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 month after S12
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Two figures move through a dark cave on a barren world. They are... Dias and Marcus, out to find the ancient relic Something Box.
* Marcus` makes a face and flails slightly as he steps through a spider web. "Are you serious?! There's spiders here too!?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias waves his wooden torch. 1"Ya damn right I'm serious. I'm gonna be famous when I discover this."
<Marcus`> Whatever, this is going to be boring. We're just gonna waltz in there and find an old empty box.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pscht, this things going to be magnificent. I didn't shell out your entire life savings for the coordinates for nothing.
<Marcus`> Speaking of which. If this is bogus, i'm going to beat the shit out of you and sell you on the street for money.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like hell you're going to beat me.
<Marcus`> You gotta go to sleep eventually. *he notes*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So do you. 6He stares eerily at Marcus as he walks forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias begins to fall into a pit of doom with spikes on the bottom
<Marcus`> ACk! *he slides forward to try and catch Dias*
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus grabs Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks to a stop as he stares downa t the spikes, a foot away from his face.
<Marcus`> ...so about my money. *he notes idly, holding Dias there*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You don't have the balls.
<Marcus`> ...boy my arm sure is getting tired. *he notes, yawning*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have the key's to the shuttle.
<Marcus`> ...shit. *he sighs and pulls Dias up*
<DeathStar> 6* On the other side is a shiny, black box.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias breathes a sigh of relief. 1"Oh wait...you do...6He pauses as he eyes the shiny, black box.
* Marcus` sighs but then eyes the box. "Oh shit, is that it?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It god damn better be. 6He slides back then dashes, leaping across the pit.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias makes it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands in a squat. He turns to look at Marcus. 1"Come on you baby."
* Marcus` groans. "...you'd better catch me if I slip." he backs up and then dashes forward, leaping across the pit as well.
<DeathStar> 6* MArcus --- falls short.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snatches his hand and grabs Marcus's shirt as he falls.
* Marcus` urcks, seemingly floating in mid-air. "...well piss."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So what was that about killing me?
<Marcus`> Yeah yeah. You're so cool. Let's just hurry up and get out of her.
<Marcus`> ...please?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls and pulls hard, tossing Marcus onto the ground
* Marcus` grunts. "Jesus christ, am I that fat?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias then turns, moving towards the bo and stepping on Marcus ashe moves closer
<Marcus`> UMPH! *he holds his stomach and groans.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides to a stop infront of the box. He glances around then kneels down infront of it, studying it.
* Marcus` pulls himself up. "So is that it?"
<DeathStar> 6* ....
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know...6He dustst he top off.
<DeathStar> 6* ....
<Marcus`> ....should you open it?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well, one way to find out. Eh? 6He slides his hands along hte edge of the box, his fingers feeling for any traps or locks.
<DeathStar> 6* None.
<Marcus`> Wait!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I bet it's full of treasures....What?
* Marcus` slides as far back as he can. "...incase it explodes."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Good thinking! 6He nods to Marcus then unlatches it and opens it
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens.
<Marcus`> ...well that was anticlimatic.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks, eyeing the box. He opens it all the way and peers inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a black hand grabs Dias' face and unleashes dark magics throughout the area. Marcus is hit and begins to turn hairy, while Dias turns black...
<DeathStar> -TIME SHIFT-

* Lilith` sits in a puddle, fairing less than desireably temperatures of a particular autumn evening, head leaned back against an alleyway wall. She might be bothered by the falling rain, but it had long since plastered her hair over her eyes, successfully forming a roof, or perhaps a shutter over otherwise unfocused eyes.
* Lilith` reaches outward, gripping at the moon without determination, then lets her hand fall, making a small splash. Faded azure hair and some other obviously furred features make her not something of typical origin, but where she came from is too little, too late, and she slowly slumps to her side, casting water in every which direction.
* Lilith` is then nothing more than a foreign dog looking rather dead in a semi-flooded alleyway.
* Raquel quietly wanders the street. A young girl, she doesn't look like she should be on her own. She's dressed in a simple black dress, with long blonde hair tied with a violet ribbon. She carries a small umbrella, but the rain doesn't seem to even touch that. She seems completely obviously to the world around her, occasionally glancing at things no one else sees.
* Raquel then pauses, noticing the canine laying by the side of the street. She pauses, looking shocked. And then the young girl hurries over to it's side, kneeling down in the water to check on it. She frowns, resting a hand on the dog's shoulder, "...poor thing... are you okay...?" Her voice and eyes are distant.
* * Lilith` would love to say no! But... tongue just lolls instead.
* Raquel sides one hand under Lilith's head, lifting her up so she can look into her face. She smiles. A sad smile, with more sorrow than happiness. But a smile none the less. "...do you have a master, puppy? ...family? ...or are you alone... like me?"
* Lilith` is disturbed again, riled away from a peaceful nap. Her eyes open just a tiny amount, exacting a deep violet in the ensuing darkness from their normal bright red.
* Lilith` tries to growl, managing only a faint gurgling noise, partially from invasive water, partially from beginning to sieze.
* Raquel doesn't seem intimidated at all, and gently pets the dog. "...it's alright puppy." She picks up the dog with difficulty, only being a girl of 12 or 13 years. "...don't..." She stumbles under the weight. "...don't worry ...I... I'll take care of you."
* Lilith` winces, not being easy to pick up indeed, as she's one of those giant foreign dogs, though quite soft. She'd make a nice pillow if she weren't sopping wet and pretty much dead. A low whine is given before she completely blanks out.
* Raquel closes her eyes, making an effort to steady herself before her telekinetic powers kick in. It makes it much easier for her to carry the dog then... though, hard for her to see over top of the animal. She immediately starts home, discarding her umbrella in favor of helping the animal... the rain starting to soak her hair and clothes.
* Raquel heads straight for her flat... a barren floor of an unused building, left to her by her dead benefactor. It's difficult carrying the animal up the stairs, as she can't see where she's going. But she makes it. Once inside, she grabs all of her towels to use as a bed for the animal, and one for a blanket. She saves only a handtowel for herself, to dry her face.
* Lilith` likely wouldn't wake until morning without some kind of intervention, and even then would feel quite miserable.
<Lilith`> ( * Picks up giant dog. "..Don't worry puppy..!" >_>;;)

Session Start: Sun Sep 09 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #tawny
* Raquel ones satisfied that the dog would be comfortable, heads to the kitchen to try to find something to feed the animal. Not a lot that she has, especially nothing for a dog. So she settles with cooking up some hamburger for now, hoping it's something the animal will like. The scent would drift through the spartan flat fairly quickly. She shivers a little as she does though, still dressed in her soaked clothes.
* Lilith` 's eyes snap open. Food. Painfully, she drags her head up and looks over, giving it some thought before instincts kick in and she slams a large paw down on the floor, digging claws in to drag herself toward the smell.
* Raquel hears the sound, and turns around. She jumps at the sight of the dog trying to make her way across her living room floor. Silly bitch. She hurries over to the dog's side, and rests a hand on her shoulder, "...no... no puppy. Just... just wait there... I'll bring the food to you... alright?" She looks to the dog, as if she was actually expecting some acknowledgement.
* Lilith` twitches visibly, eyes narrowing. She'd have bitten the runt if she'd had the reflexes and energy to do so at this point. Seeing as she does understand she pauses in her endeavor, but it's delicious torture awaiting something like cooked meat.
* Raquel smiles and pets Lilith, dripping on the floor as she scritches the dog behind the ear, "...good boy." She hesitates, "...oh... it's girl, isn't it? I... I'm sorry." She looks a little embarassed. "I'll get your food, so just wait patiently..."
* Lilith` jerks. ...She makes a note to eat the pygmy later. After she's eaten and has the energy to eat something of that calibur. Her head turns away, scoffing.
* Raquel makes her way back to the kitchen to finish cooking the meat, and draining the excess juices and grease. She fills a large bowl with the meat, and brings it back for Lilith, not taking any for herself. "...you look hungry. I... I hope you like it..." She sets the bowl down in front of her and sits down.
* Lilith` stares beligerantly at Raquel, as if expecting her to go away. When she realizes she's going to stare the whole time, her flamed eyes seem to burn brighter, leaning over and knocking the bowl across the floor like a puck, her body entwining around it, scarfing greedily with her body as a blind.
* Raquel moves over to pet Lilith gently as she eats. She makes no move to take away the food from the hungry animal, just hoping she'll become used to her presence.
* Lilith` twitches, twitches some more, keeps eating, twitches, then finally wafts her tail, swatting Raquel lightly in the face with the brunt of fluff. She diligently eats to the last bit, leaving the bowl as clean as before it had been served, then walks away a bit and turns, sitting astutely, but with lazed eyes.
* Raquel smiles a little, and lays down in front of the dog, resting her chin on her arms. "Feeling better...?"
* Lilith` just nods once, then moves to a window and stares outward.
* Raquel pauses at that, looking after the dog. "...what are you looking at? Did you forget something out there...?" She doesn't seem to think it's odd to have a dog understand her, and communicate like that.
* Lilith` turns, doing nothing for a moment, then appears to sigh, and nods once more.
* Raquel leans against the dog a little, "...you can stay here if you want... But... you don't have to..." She pauses, "...I'm here on my own... so there's no one else that'd bother you.. I live alone..."
* Lilith` frowns slightly, at that, then looks over her shoulder, staring again.
* Raquel smiles sympathetically, but it never displaces the sadness in her eyes. "...what'd you leave out there...?"
* Lilith` looks back to Raquel, squinting and sighing. Then moves for the door, pressing a paw to it.
* Raquel frowns sadly as Lilith makes her way to the door. Slowly, she pulls herself to her feet. "...you want to leave already...?"
* Lilith` shakes her head slowly, but taps her paw against the door.
* Raquel reaches up and unlatches the door, then opens it for Lilith
* Lilith` takes a few steps out, then looks over her shoulder.
* Raquel looks sad, but says nothing.
* Raquel looks sadder than normal.
* Lilith` growls softly, turning and sitting.
* Raquel pauses at the door, watching the strange dog.
* Lilith` jerks her head, as if beckoning, then turns and starts trodding down the staircase.
* Raquel steps out, closing and locking the door behind her, and follows after the canine
* Lilith` makes way to the ground floor and seems quite pointed on a direct route to the stone steps of a decrepit temple that shouldn't be standing in this age but for some reason refuses to fall.
* Raquel follows, not seeming to care about the rain. Her concern is keeping up without being left behind, as the water trys to obscure her vision.
* Lilith` raises her head and stares upward at the moon again, then lowers her head and sniffs, tracking something. Eventually she meanders toward the corner of the temple's garden beyond torii, a small pond resting there. She stops, then looks back at Raquel.
* Raquel follows, stopping just short of walking into the dog. She's shielding her eyes with one hand. "...what... what is it...?"
* Lilith` looks forward again, lifting a paw to point to the center of the pond. Submerged in it is a metallic object much too reflective to be a native decoration of the temple itself. She looks to Raquel again and narrows her eyes.
* Lilith` then turns her head and glares at a sequence of small statues resembling lions of sorts.
* Raquel kneels by the edge of the pond, and reaches forward, and tries to scoop out the metal object.
* Lilith` sits patiently while Raquel fishes about in a pond scoured with algae and all manner of growing weeds.
* Raquel grabs the metal, and with some straining, manages to pull it out. Yea~ for psionics. She blinks, reconizing the general shape, even if it's covered in plantlife.
* Lilith` blinks and stands, strained with anxiousness. Until it comes beyond the lion-like figures she doesn't dare get close, but makes some noises accentuating excitement.
* Raquel strains to drag the sword towards Lilith, not quite sure why she's doing so... the dog seemed to want the sword. But... why would a dog want a sword?
* Lilith` snatches the hilt in her teeth and swings the blade around, cramming the edge into the ground. She stares at Raquel silently, then nods, lowering her head and forepaws; bowing.
* Raquel falls back on her ass, staring at the dog. She's not scared... there isn't even a drop of fear there. But she is surprised. Dog wielding a sword? You don't see that every day. She bows her own head.
* Lilith` leans up and lifts one paw, pads up toward Raquel.
* Raquel watches the dog uncertainly. "...what... what is it...?"
* Lilith` nods, waving the paw insistently.
* Raquel presses her hand against the paw.
* Lilith` nods, then lunges, snatching Raquel's respective wrist into her teeth, in normal circumstances, quite easily drawing blood.
* Raquel still shows no fear. Uncertainty. She watches the animal. Even if she's bleeding, she makes no sound about it.
* Lilith` releases her hand, licking at the wounds, before looking upward at the moon again. When she lowers her head, her coat is covered in strange runes, markings, the likes that weren't there before. Without opening her mouth, a voice emanates from her, airy and resoundingly deep. <My gratitude.>
* Raquel tilts her head curiously, then shakes her head. "...I didn't do anything special."
<Lilith`> <Is that so...?>
* Lilith` nods her head toward the weapon. <I could not have retrieved that alone, much less after resigning myself to the other world.>
* Raquel simply nods. Part of the girl seems elsewhere, leaving her out of touch with part of the world. Her eyes rarely linger on the material. "...I'm glad I could help you..." She pauses. "...do you have a name?"
<Lilith`> <That depends.>
* Raquel tilts her head, "Depends...? On what...?"
* Lilith` closes her eyes. <The one whom I first share my name is imparted with whim over my nature.>
* Raquel shifts over to sit next to Lilith, resting one hand on the dog's shoulder. "Well... you don't need to tell me... it's okay..." She smiles again, but still with those sad eyes. "You're better...? I'm glad I could help make you better..."
<Lilith`> <I am not... 'better.'>
* Lilith` moves to lay around the tarnished sword. <I can merely lay to rest with my inukami.>
<Lilith`> <It is for that, that I am grateful.>
* Raquel frowns at that, and moves closer to Lilith. It seems to hurt her to see her in that condition. "...you... can I do anything...?"
<Lilith`> <Why does it bother you, so?>
<Raquel> "...you're nice... you shouldn't be hurting..." she leaves the, 'like I am', silent.
<Lilith`> <... I am not hurting>
<Raquel> "...you look it..."
* Lilith` narrows her eyes slightly at Raquel. <You speak of things that I am apart from.>
* Raquel looks at Lilith with young eyes that have seen far too much sorrow... too much death. She says nothing, but her look questions her words
<Lilith`> <Why is it that you speak of your own misgivings with silence?>
* Raquel just shakes her head. "I... I'm not..." She looks away.
<Lilith`> "Is that so?"
* Raquel nods slowly.
<Lilith`> <If I do not believe you?>
* Raquel shrugs a little, "Then... you don't believe me..."
<Raquel> "But... you don't have any left either... do you...? I can feel the death around you..."
<Raquel> "They're all... gone now..."
<Lilith`> <There is no one left to serve.>
<Raquel> "...serve?"
<Lilith`> <That is what our kind does.>
* Raquel nods, and rests against the large dog. "...it's sad..."
<Lilith`> <What is sad? I do not understand.>
<Raquel> "...to only have a single purpose... then to have that taken away..."
* Raquel closes her eyes, "...you shouldn't live that way... life is too short..."
<Lilith`> <...Has your purpose left you?>
* Raquel shakes her head, then looks at Lilith, "...I... have purpose..." There's something in her eyes besides the sorrow now... an anger burning down deep that doesn't reach the surface.
<Lilith`> <Should you feel that way then you might give me another purpose, then.>
* Raquel pauses, "...you... are looking to me... for purpose...?"
<Lilith`> <Mine is to serve, unless you would find me useless.>
* Raquel looks at the sword, "... you're... a warrior?"
<Lilith`> <I am... inugami.>
* Raquel pauses, "I... don't know what that is..."
<Lilith`> <We are ...spirits. Loyal souls descended of the dog guardians of this country entrusted to masters seeking power to fulfill their wishes.>
<Lilith`> <We have fulfilled many roles over the course of the centuries, and war is but one of them.>
<Raquel> "And... you'd help me...?"
* Raquel pauses, "What... do you need from me...?"
<DeathStar> (*thinks Lilith is really a succubus*)
<Lilith`> <... An essence. The vitality of your spirit. Without it, I will be gone in a short time and purpose will be of no meaning between us.>
<Raquel> "...as the dead lend me strength... you wish to borrow mine..."
* Raquel nods slowly, "...alright..."
<Lilith`> <Are you certain?>
<Raquel> "...yes..."
<Lilith`> <To complete the ritual I have already begun with your blood, I require a token of your possession.>
<Lilith`> (Raquel "Wait just a damn minute. You're taking my soul and blood and want something else too!? Where's the f^#%!ing contact?")
<Raquel> "A... token...?" She doesn't have much on her. "...does it matter what?"
* Lilith` shakes her head slowly. <They have taken many shapes and forms over time.>
* Raquel nods slowly, and then undoes her hair ribbon and ties it around Lilith's neck as a scarf. "...I hope this works then..." There's not much else she could offer. Her keys? Sure as hell isn't getting her panties.
* Raquel thinks that'd just be weird anyways
<Raquel> (*doesn't want to picture Lilith with a fist for a chin*)
* Lilith` just nods, the runes about her body taking on a partially shaded glow, then become permanent, or at least that's the way they feel. Provided Raquel blinks even for a moment, arms, inscribed with the same runes, reach out and wrap about her.
<Lilith`> "It's decided then."
* Raquel nods with a small smile. She glances at the runes a moment, then back to Lilith, "...are you hungry still?"
<Raquel> (( Raquel> "...are you sure the ribbon works? <Lilith> "Better give me your cred stick too, just to be safe."))
* Lilith` stares downward, pausing awkwardly for a moment. Her red eyes are more apparent now, the runes along her even up to the cheeks. Her ears poke past her hair, her head shaking slowly. "Not in the slightest, little mistress."
<Lilith`> (Lilith "Tokyo shopping spree, woohoo!")
<DeathStar> (I want a pet now)
* Raquel shakes her head, "...you don't need to call me that. My name is Raquel..."
* Lilith` glances upward, staring at the moon for a moment, then yawns, rubbing her eyes once. She stares sidelong at the sword and reaches out, forming a sphere of blackness about it that shrinks slowly but surely, leaving nothing in the wake.
* Lilith` stares downard at Raquel with lazy eyes, then gently reaches out and lifts her up, cradling her in her arms, standing to head back for her flat. They've sat in the rain long enough. Besides, she's naked, and wet, and cold.
<Lilith`> "Lilith, little mistress."
<Raquel> (( ...when did Lilith change? ))
<Lilith`> (When she reached out with arms and started using a voice rather than telepathy?)
* Raquel leans tiredly against Lilith, taking comfort in her presence. She doesn't seem to even care that the woman was a dog a little while ago. Not even a bit of surprise at that.
<Lilith`> (* Lilith smiles and nuzzles Raquel. "My little killjoy!")
<Raquel> "...thank you... Lilith..."
<Lilith`> "...For?"
<Raquel> "...accepting me..."
<Lilith`> "You have accepted me."
<Lilith`> "There is no need to thank me for living my life."
<Lilith`> (Dooone?)
* Raquel rests her head against Lilith, and closes her eyes. "...alright... but I'm still greatful..." She actually does seem a bit happier than before, even if she is still surrounded by sadness. "...we'll go shopping together tomorrow... and get you some nice clothes..."
<Raquel> (( Long RP o.o ))
* Lilith` continues trudging toward the flat, looking as disconnected and bored as ever, tail flickering. "...Shopping? Clothes? I have no need of clothes, little mistress."
<Lilith`> (Yep, and I have work in 4 1/2 hours.)
<Lilith`> (Though I only need to go in for a couple hours to finish up tags. '-';)
* Raquel shakes her head, "...they keep you warm and keep people from staring... anyways... it'd be nice..."
<Lilith`> (...It's like the third time I said I had stuff to finish up tomorrow. NORMALLY I'll have sunday/monday off from now on.)
* Lilith` stares upward, showing complete disdain on her face, sighing. "If little mistress says so. It is an unnecessary formality, but if she wishes..."
* Raquel nods a little, "...I think you should..." She doesn't say she HAS to, however.
<DeathStar> (Dias would just be empowered if you fought naked)
<Lilith`> (Not like SHE knows that.)
<Lilith`> "Little mistress would know best."
* Lilith` shuffles along, up stairs, and waits at the door, as if expecting it to open.
* Raquel opens her eyes to see where they are, and unlocks the door.
* Lilith` opens the door and leans through it, walking over and setting Raquel on the 'bed' before going back and shutting the door.
* Raquel giggles a little at where she was set down. She picks up two of the towels, and heads after Lilith to give her one. "...here... dry off..."
* Lilith` turns and stares for a moment, then accepts the towel, a bit confused. Seems she was just going to shake off or something, but manages well enough with the cloth, discarding it and yawning again. "Thank you, little mistress."
* Raquel gives a little smile, "...I'm going to get changed... I'll get you a blanket."
* Lilith` nods, and moves to the window, sitting on her knees.
* Raquel comes back after a moment, dressed in her pijamas, and a towel around her shoulders. She brings out a heavy blanket for Lilith, and drapes it around her shoulders. She considers asking what's on her mind, but just opens up her senses instead
* Lilith` leans and looks over her shoulder. "You should rest, little mistress."
<Lilith`> "If you wish to wander at morning, I will accompany you."
* Raquel nods a little. "...there's a spare bed in the other room... no one's used it in a long time... I won't mind if you sleep there." She gives Lilith a hug, and makes her way off to her own room.
* Lilith` sees Raquel off, then wanders over outside her doorway and settles on the floor there. You know, just in case.
* Raquel hops she atleast kept the blanket.

* Raquel pulls herself out of bed sleepily, around mid morning. Her hair is an utter mess after last night... untangling that is going to suck. Still, she doesn't seem to care, and heads towards the kitchen in a bit of a haze.
* Lilith` provides a nice obstacle to leaving her room, having found herself right at home sleeping outside the room. During the course of the night, or before sleeping, either way, she became a malamute again. A big guard dog furled within the half-discarded blanket.
<Lilith`> (...I'm not sure why, but I keep picturing Erevis meeting Lilith and acting like Touka.)
* Lilith` (facepalms. Needs to stop watching entire anime series in single sittings.)
<Raquel> (Touka?)
* Raquel stumbles over the large animal, falling flat on her face. "...oww..."
<Lilith`> (She's... Best explained as being ronin. Headstrong and quiet except when protesting something, but has a weakness for 'cute' things.)
<Lilith`> (They get some little white rabbit thing and she has a moe moment. >_>;)
<Raquel> (Aww...)
<Lilith`> (Think it was episode 17 along with all the other hilarious stuff.)
* Lilith` rises, yawns widely, then tilts her head to the side. <Good morning, little mistress. Are you unwell?>
* Raquel rolls to the side and rubs her face. A large red mark from where she contacted. "...g...g'morning..."
<Lilith`> <Aloe would be pertinent.>
* Lilith` pads past her with little more thought, heading for the living room and staring out the window.
* Raquel gets up slowly, and continues to the kitchen. Much more awake now. "...would you like breakfast?"
<Lilith`> <Eating is unnecessary, worry not.>
* Raquel looks a little surprised at that, and glances back at the dog. "Unnecessary...?" That's confusing. "You were hungry yesterday..."
* Lilith` 's head falls a bit, like she were hit with a rock from above.
<Lilith`> <...I lost myself to instinct, my apologies. Yesterday I lacked a master.>
* Raquel nods, as if understanding. "Alright..." She pauses, "...would you like to eat?"
<Lilith`> <...It is unnecessary.>
* Raquel smiles a little, "That isn't what I asked..."
* Lilith` turns and glances, eyes squinted shut.
<Lilith`> <...It is... frivolous...>
* Raquel shakes her head. "That doesn't matter... would you like some food?"
* Lilith` ...huffs. <That is which is frivolous.>
* Lilith` ambles over and stares eye to eye with her. <I will not let it go to waste.>
* Raquel leans down and scritches Lilith behind the ear, "...it's not wasted... if you enjoy it..."
* Lilith` turns and sits, facing away.
<Lilith`> <Then I fear it would be wasted.>
* Raquel nods slowly, "...alright... but if you change your mind, I think I'm going to make some bacon..."
* Lilith` nods once and remains quiet, going for the window.
* Raquel frowns a little at that... she liked the idea of cooking for someone else... but it seems it's just her. She heads back to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.
* Lilith` turns back after Raquel's started to walk away, frowning.
* Raquel starts cooking up some eggs, bacon and toast... trying just to focus on the task at hand.
* Lilith` sets herself in the frame of the door for the kitchen, having changed forms. With arms crossed she looks glumly on Raquel and seems to need to find the words to say.
<Lilith`> "...I am hungry."
* Raquel turns abruptly, almost burning herself. Though she doesn't notice that. "...you... are?"
<Lilith`> "I am."
* Lilith` closes her eyes and frowns.
* Raquel smiles at that, and gets more out of the fridge, "Alright. I'll make some more for you too... do you like eggs and toast, or just the meat...?"
<Lilith`> "Whatever little mistress dictates will do."
* Lilith` looks the other way, twitching somewhat.
* Raquel stops at that. She closes the fridge, looking concerned. "...no... this isn't about me..." She puts down the spatula and walks over. She takes Lilith's hand in both of hers, and tries to look up to see the older girl's face.
* Lilith` has no problem adjusting so they can see eye to eye again. What she does have trouble with is choosing words in these kinds of situations.
<Lilith`> "...Of... course not. I am hungry, nothing more."
<Raquel> "...are you hungry... or just saying that because you think I want to hear that...?"
<Lilith`> "... I am hungry."
* Lilith` shifts uneasily, not from having a problem with flat out lying, but from the mixture of confusion resulting from Raquel not being pleased with either outcome. Humans are such a pain.
* Raquel nods slowly, it was like pulling teeth, but that didn't really bother her. "...alright... then what would you like...?"
* Lilith` frowns again, brow knitting in irritation. "I ...would like what little mistress makes."
<Raquel> "...if you could have anything, what would it be...?"
<Lilith`> "What I am given by the little mistress."
* Raquel frowns a little, and nods. "Alright... I'll make you the same thing I'm having... you can eat what you like..."
* Lilith` creases slightly in return, receptive to the disdain. "I am grateful."
* Seraphna has joined #tawny
<Raquel> (One sec)
* Seraphna is now known as Gabriella
* Raquel gives Lilith a small hug, and goes back to cooking. She adds enough to make a second portion of everything.
* Lilith` wanders over and, at a respectful distance, watches the proceedings, not able to help taking a sniff here and there.
* Raquel smiles a little at that. It looksl ike she really is interested in the food. She reaches up to get a plate from the cupboard, and dishes out Lilith's share first. "...here... for you."
* Lilith` holds up a hand, shaking her head. "Little mistress must be first."
* Raquel shakes her head. "No... this is for you..."
* Lilith` shakes her head as well. "No, it is for little mistress."
<Lilith`> (Lilith [Compatibility rating 15%.])
<Raquel> "...if you don't take it, both of our food will get cold..."
<Lilith`> "It matters little to me."
* Lilith` closes her eyes, raising her nose stubbornly. "If temperature is a concern to the little mistress, then she should eat now."
* Raquel scowls... why did the dog have to be so difficult?
* Lilith` opens a single red eye, gazing at Raquel. She seems bothered again.
* Raquel offers the plate again
<Lilith`> "It is customary for the master to satiate first. It is unnecessary for myself, after all."
* Raquel offers the plate
* Lilith` 's lip quivers. A brief idea of eating Raquel and prancing the countryside flickers through her mind-- She scolds herself, then takes the plate with quite the unhappy expression.
* Raquel smiles as Lilith accepts the food, and goes to get her own. She'd have been eating a long time ago, she notes, if someone would have accepted their dinner at first.
<Lilith`> (I thought it was breakfast!? How long'd we argue!?)
<Raquel> ( =P )
* Lilith` stands there, staring at the plate with disdain, ears folded back.
* Raquel looks to Lilith with a small frown, "...aren't you going to eat?"
* Lilith` stands next to the counters with the plate in both hands and glances at Raquel when she poses another question. "When the little mistress does."
* Raquel moves to the table, and pulls out a chair for Lilith, before seating herself. She starts to slowly eat her breakfast, her eyes regularly jumping to Lilith to see what she makes of the food.
* Lilith` heads over and stares at the chair, guaging Raquel's use of it before seating herself, sweeping her tail out of the way. She places the plate down and studies Raquel again, staring at the silverware.
* Lilith` picks up a fork and glances at it's spearlike qualities-- Then jabs a strip of bacon, causing a horrendous squeal against the plate's ceramic.
* Raquel winces a little at the sound
* Lilith` sets the bacon in her mouth, ears still folded back about the whole affair. She chews quietly, revealing positively nothing, then sets about trying to skewer eggs.
* Lilith` seems at a loss and sets the fork aside, resorting to licking up the yolk, although this is certainly more difficult, and before long she winds up shifting forms, paws on the table, wolfing it.
* Raquel giggles a little at Lilith's antics, and eats her own breakfast
* Lilith` reverts backward again when she's done, sitting crosslegged on the chair with a clean plate, rubbing at her mouth with her hands, licking the remnants off her wrists therein.
* Lilith` stares at Raquel shamelessly.
<Raquel> "...did you like it?
<Lilith`> "It was filling."
* Raquel nods, "...I'll make something else you can try, next time."
<Lilith`> "I am satisfied already."
* Raquel nods, "This evening. For now... we should get you dressed to go out..."
* Lilith` tilts her head and narrows her eyes. "...That is unnecessary."
<Raquel> "You would cause me a lot of trouble if you went out like that...
<Lilith`> "Then I will not go out."
<Raquel> "...then how will you aid me...?"
* Lilith` frowns slightly. "...Then I will not go out like this."
* Lilith` sets her legs down and moves away from the chair, shifting forms. She looks over and upward at Raquel.
<Raquel> "...if I needed it, could you protect me like that...?"
<Lilith`> "...Humans are of no consequence to an inugami."
* Raquel smiles, and rests a hand on top of Lilith's head. "Then... I'll entrust that to you." She pauses, "...but I still think it'd be prudant to have clothes, in case you needed to go out like that..."
<Lilith`> "Clothes are of inconvenience to little master?"
<Raquel> "...it's shameful for a woman to go around without them... and even if you don't care, it attracts a lot of attention..."
<Lilith`> "I am not a woman."
* Lilith` shifts back, despite that, frowning.
* Raquel deadpans, "...no one would believe you if you said that... short of being in your canine form..."
<Lilith`> "That is their problem, I believe. My only concern is little mistress."
<Raquel> "...not if it causes them to cause trouble for us..."
* Lilith` sighs again. "If it causes trouble for little mistress or she wills it, I will concede."
<Lilith`> "But I will reiterate, little mistress, that the idea is for me to assist your tasks, not for you to concern yourself with me."
* Raquel shakes her head, "...you're my ally. I need to worry about your well being..."
* Lilith` frowns once more, but she can't argue with the base logic.
<Lilith`> "I understand."
<Raquel> "...why wouldn't I worry about you...?"
* Lilith` huffs. "If it comes to a decision between your ideals or my well-being, however, I would suggest you place them over me. It is against the ideas of an inugami to value themselves over their purpose, which is the meaning for their existence, Please understand in turn, little mistress."
* Raquel giggles, "...you make yourself sound like a weapon, Lilith..."
<Lilith`> "At the most basic level, I am."
<Lilith`> "An inugami is a tool of those with a strong ideal."
* Raquel stands up, wrapping her arms around Lilith, and resting her head against her. "...then it's okay... since I'm a weapon too..."
<Lilith`> "Little mistress is a human."
<Lilith`> "Humans are rarely one thing in their lives."
* Raquel closes her eyes "...I was made to be a weapon... so I'm a weapon."
* Lilith` encloses her own arms around Raquel. "Little mistress is mistaken in that thinking."
<Lilith`> "Nothing with free will can be made."
* Raquel smiles a little to feel Lilith's arms, "...I was..." There's no happiness or sadness to the statement. It just is.
* Lilith` moves Raquel, holding her at arm's reach. "Encompassing everything is not an admirable human trait."
* Raquel looks at Lilith with confusion.
<Lilith`> "The world is vast and entails many things one may not deal with on their own. Were it so, we inugami would not exist."
* Lilith` places her own hand on Raquel's head. "Little mistress is far too small to act in such ways."
* Raquel offers a sad smile, "...'little mistress' isn't just a human girl..."
<Lilith`> "Little mistress smells human. Am I mistaken?"
* Raquel simply nods.
<Lilith`> "Explain."
* Lilith` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Kit[Work] has joined #tawny
* Raquel considers a moment. "I... am a weapon... there's no other name for it... that's what they created me to be..."
* Kit[Work] is now known as Lilith`
<Lilith`> "Created by whom?"
<Raquel> "...a scientist... he's dead now..."
<Lilith`> "Then I think his purpose means little."

Session Ident: #tawny
<Raquel> "...I am what I am..."
<Lilith`> "Little mistress is whom she wishes to be, and I will make certain to do all that is necessary to make it so."
* Raquel nods slowly...
<Raquel> "...thank you, Lilith... maybe with your help, I can fulfill my purpose..."
* Lilith` nods, then pauses.
<Lilith`> "It occurs to me, little mistress, that I do not know what that is..."
* Raquel closes her eyes, "...to... avenge my brother..."
<Lilith`> "A dark road that poses little in return. You are resigned?"
* Raquel nods.
<Lilith`> "Hrmph. Then I may be of use."
* Kit[Work] has joined #tawny
* Lilith` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Kit[Work] is now known as Lilith`
* Raquel smiles, "...thank you..."
* Lilith` frowns again. "There is no need to thank me."
* Lilith` returns to the window, tail lashing, but hopefully this isn't a voyeur-filled community.
<Raquel> "...there is... I'm greatful..."
* Lilith` yawns!
* Raquel pauses, "...I still think you should have clothes..." Another pause, "...do they get in the way of your canine form?"
* Lilith` turns and shakes her head. "I doubt that they would."
* Raquel nods. "Then... you should have something. There's no reason not to..."
* Lilith` flicks at her neck, resounding a metal ringing, pointing out for the first time that when she's like this the scarf she was given takes on that of a banded collar instead. "I believe you call it symbolism."
<Lilith`> "I can store minor affects like my inukami."
<Raquel> "Then... we'll get you some clothes... we'll find something you like..."
<Lilith`> "Whatever little mistress decides is fine."
* Raquel shakes her head a little, "...I want you to have something you like..."
<Lilith`> "I like what little mistress chooses."
* Lilith` tilts her head, offering an irritated gaze.
* Raquel nods slowly, giving in...

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.7.10 - 10 months after last episode-
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Chad Winters has come into Angela Bennet's apartment to discuss something.
* Chad`Winters slides some paperwork across the table to her.
* Angela sits on her couch, putting a datapad aside, the place not as neat and clean as it once was, she's in very casual clothing. A bit older now, she's starting to fill out. "What's this?"
<Chad`Winters> I was filing through Cran's old records and I found something that interests me.
* Angela picks it up, looking it over.
<Chad`Winters> 6It's details of a research base off planet.
* Angela rifles through it. "He did a lot of different experiments... you think this is important to you or me?"
<Chad`Winters> Probably. 6His face remains neutral, like it has the last year.
<Angela> "Just looks like research... what perked your interest so much?"
* Lilith` has left #taw13hell1
<Chad`Winters> What was researched.
* Angela reads up on what the subject matter was.
<Chad`Winters> 6It's mostly genetic engineering, subject names, important traits to be passed on, etc.
<Angela> "So... a lot along the lines of what was done with us...?"
* Angela reads over the subject names.
<Chad`Winters> 6A bunch of random names, pictures and date of them.
* Angela doesn't seem to see anything important then.
<Angela> "Alright... so why bring this to me?"
<Chad`Winters> Because it'll no doubt be encoded again. And a Bennet used to run the place apparently.
<Angela> "A Bennet...?"
* Angela reads through a lot more thoroughly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Any data on him seems to be very vague.
<Angela> "This tells me a whole lot of nothing."
* Angela looks up at him, and blinks, realising she's been reading a while. "...Sorry, Chad, could I get you a drink or something?"
<Chad`Winters> Anything important would be hand-written down.
<Chad`Winters> No, I'm fine. 6He crosses his arms.
* Angela nods and looks for hand written content.
<Chad`Winters> Which'll be at the base....6He notes.
<Angela> "You're being terribly cryptic today."
<Angela> "So you want me to come check this base out with you?"
<Chad`Winters> I'm only preparing for what I've seen at Cran's bases. I'll need another person no doubt.
<Angela> "Seraphna?"
<Chad`Winters> She's going to watch Aya for me.
<Angela> "She did seem particularly bored..." *she smiles*
* Angela stands up and shrugs, "Why me? The Janus access?"
<Chad`Winters> I couldn't care less about Janus. You're the only available that has the highest possibility of opening the door.
<Angela> "Not hoping to find another sibling are you? That place would have been abandoned a while now, or worse, run autonomously."
<Chad`Winters> My intentions of going there are my own.
* Angela sighs gently and looks over the information again. "Sure, why not, anything to get away from the drawing board for a little while."
<Chad`Winters> Than start packing, I'll be waiting outside. 6He turns, moving to leave.
<Angela> "Very well."
<DeathStar> -LATER-
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies through space
<DeathStar> 6* HYPERspace.
* Chad`Winters sits in the pilots seat, his stuff in the back, his arms crossed and his head tilted down.
* Angela sits back, toying with a datapad.
<Angela> "How are things?"
* Chad`Winters doesn't stir, either he's been asleep for the past 3 hours or he's a good faker.
* Angela smiles a little and leans back, yawning.
* Angela begins to hum a soft tune, sounds like a lullabye.
<DeathStar> 6* Tick tock. Tick tock.
* Chad`Winters shifts himself in his seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the shuttle rocks, and an exploding sound is heard. They veer through hyperspce in a wild course no one could see.
<Angela> "Bloody hell..."
* Chad`Winters 's eye suddenly snap open and he grabs the controls, his hands flying across as he brings up damage reports
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to spin, and the internal gravity breaks.
* Angela grabs onto her seat as she brgins to float.
<Chad`Winters> Shit...6locks his foot under his seat as he begins trying to regain control
<DeathStar> 6* A loud explosion and they break out of hyperspace, in front of giant blueness
<Angela> "Where the hell..."
<DeathStar> 6* The blue gets bigger and bigger - it's an ocean
* Angela grips onto her seat, "This is gonna hurt..."
* Chad`Winters takes a deep breath and jerks up on the controls as he tries to level themselves off before they slam into the ocean.
<DeathStar> 6* The world goes b lue, then black.
<DeathStar> -LATER-
<DeathStar> 6* Angela would wake up in pain.
* Angela snaps her eyes open, trying to look around.
<DeathStar> 6* She would find herself wet, partially naked, and on sand in front of an ocean. Chad is face first in some sand near by
* Angela blinks and picks herself up, moving over to him and rolling him over.
* Chad`Winters lies their motionless, his face slightly pale and obviously soaked.
* Angela checks his vitals, then his breathing.
<Chad`Winters> 6He's definetly not breathing.
<Angela> "Chad no..." *she shakes a bit, starting to give him CPR*
<Angela> "Come on... breathe..."
* Chad`Winters suddenly jerks over to the side as he begins coughing up water.
* Angela sits up, patting his back, she helps him steady himself. "Oh thank gods..."
* Chad`Winters body instinctively jerks away from Angela as she pats, his hand moves to his mouth as he coughs.
* Angela looks around at thier situation now that he's going to live.
<DeathStar> 6* They appear to be on a beach, with no supplies.
<Angela> "This isn't good at all..."
* Angela looks to Chad again to check on him.
* Chad`Winters runs his hands through his hair and he glances around, quickly accessing the situation.
<Angela> "No sign of the shuttle... should we go looking a bit to see what there is?"
* Chad`Winters moves to stands up and winces in pain, his back quickly turning to hide it. 1"Go ahead..."
<Angela> "Still need to recover?"
* Chad`Winters grunts in response.
* Angela stands up, fixing what's left of her clothes.
<Angela> "Right... I'll scout it out a bit, just rest okay?"
* Angela sighs and walks down the beach a bit, trying to get a feel for the terrain.
<DeathStar> 6* After an hour, Angela circles around back to Chad---?
* Angela shakes her head. "Alright, a small island."
* Angela looks towards the inner area of the island.
<DeathStar> 6* Jungle.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Angela, having finally stood not to long ago.
<Angela> "Oh good, wood at least. We can build a fire."
<Angela> "Are you alright Chad?"
* Chad`Winters grunts in response.
* Angela sighs again, of all the people to get stuck on an island with...
<Angela> "Fine, I guess I'll talk for the both of us..."
* Angela hads to the tree line.
* Chad`Winters looks out at the ocean, than up at the sky off in the distance in all directions
<DeathStar> -LATER THAT NIGHT-
<DeathStar> 6* So far, no food has been found, but they got wood.
* Angela is working on making the wood into fire, for a geek, she seems pretty acquainted with the fine art of camping.
* Chad`Winters sits on a beach, what's left of his tact belt resting beside him.
* Angela looks up from slightly smoking wood. "Find anything useful?"
<Chad`Winters> Any food we'll need, will be in the ocean. 6He motions with one of his remaining blades.
<Angela> "Never was too good at fishing... how about you catch and I'll cook?"
* Angela grins a bit as she gets the fire started, tossing on some kindling.
<Chad`Winters> Not this late. 6He stands up, wincing slightly, his face still slightly pale. He moves towards the trees.
<Angela> "Alrighty..."
* Angela yawns a bit. "Think they'll find us?"
* Chad`Winters keeps walking, not even grunting in response. He disappears into the woods.
<DeathStar> -TWO WEEKS LATER-
<DeathStar> NRP: *Chad has never returned*
* Chad`Winters stands 30 feet out in the ocean on a sand bar, a wood stick with one of his blades tied to it in his left hand.
<DeathStar> 6* So far, Chad has only caught bad fish
* Angela steps up to the fire, a bundle of sticks in her arms, setting them down.
* Chad`Winters shifts his feet apart, his tact suit top on shore. He glances around as he waits.
* Angela watches him as she applies some more wood, humming that tune again, she seems to make noise lately only to remind herself she can make it.
* Chad`Winters suddenly snaps his spear down towards a fish.
* Angela closes her eyes, humming gently as she works out two finer sticks for use as spits
<DeathStar> 6* He nails the fish
* Chad`Winters lifts the spear up, eyeing the fish.
* Angela fixes her shirt a little, sighing, why did her clothes have to get so torn up anyways...
* Chad`Winters jams the fish into a stake he has set up. He moves to the edge of the sand bar and glances down in the water.
* Angela watches him move again, having given up on spoken communication with him unless absolutely nessecary.
* Chad`Winters touches his ribs, a wince crossing his face. He shakes his head and moves back towards the beach then into slightly deeper water.
* Chad`Winters comes to a stop and stands still again, as he waits for more fish.
* Angela eyes that and sighs, she stands up and heads into the jungle, something on her mind.
<DeathStar> 6* So, uh, the day passes like this. God, how boring
<Angela> * Certain HELL
* Chad`Winters moves onto shore, and tosses down what fish he could manage to spear.
<DeathStar> * A super storm sweeps in and begins to blow hard
* Angela looksup from her project, some contraption made of sticks, she groans, "Not good..."
<DeathStar> 6* Lightning. Waves begin to get bigger
* Chad`Winters glances around, his eyes darting up at the sky. 1"Possible Hurricane..."
<Angela> "We need shelter..."
* Angela wraps teh contraptiona round the spare wood, picking it up.
* Chad`Winters leans down, grabbing his tact top and his belt and the fish. He moves in towards the jungle.
* Angela heads after him.
<DeathStar> 6* The trees sway heavily in the jungle.
* Chad`Winters moves through the beaten paths he made, moving towards the center o the jungle
* Angela moves right after him, shivering a bit from the sudden drop in temperature.
<DeathStar> 6* It begins to rain. Hard.
* Angela keeps on his toes, her gold hair getting soaked.
* Chad`Winters stops and begins pulling off branches, quickly making a makeshift shelter
* Angela does her best to assist him, getting his idea quickly, after all, it's building something.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shifts slightly as a gust of wind blows through the trees
* Angela mimics him, blushing a little when it nearly blows her top off, holding it down, she works on the makeshift roof.
* Chad`Winters grabs his blade and begins cutting off more leaves and branches, his face obviously contorting in pain as he moves faster.
<Angela> "Chad, let me do it."
<Chad`Winters> We don't have time. 6He continues working, climbing up a tree now as the tops begin swaying hard. A huge boom can be heard as a bolt of lightning arcs across the sky
* Angela looks worried, but uses the fallen sticks and leaves to complete the shelter, nto wasting time.
* Chad`Winters slides down and moves under the shelter, water dripping off him.
<Chad`Winters> We should be able to weather the storm with us being in the thick of the jungle.
* Angela nods quietly, shivering terribly.
<Chad`Winters> Did you bring any of the wood with? 6He stares out at the dark jungle, water pouring down everywhere.
* Angela nods, opening the contraption, a pile of dry wood inside.
* Chad`Winters grabs two of his blades and begins hitting them across each other, causign sparks to hit the dry wood
* Angela quickly sets them up so they swon't burn down the shelter.
* Chad`Winters closes his eyes, his face still pale
* Angela shivers, settling in as the fire burns, trying to keep warm, a little pale herself now.
<Angela> "Think we're... e-e-ever... gonna get out of here...?"
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela, his silence speaking volumes
* Angela sniffles, wiping water... yeah... water... out of her face.
<Angela> "I hate this.... s-s-s-so much..."
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure someone will find us. 6He face remains neutral as he keeps his eyes closed, the light of the fire casting shadows on his face.
* Angela stares into the fire, shaking a bit more, she seems to take comfort in that. "K-Kay..."
<Angela> "Your ribs hurt... still...?"
<Chad`Winters> Bruised or broken, they'll take time to heal. 6He shifts himself against a tree base they used for bracing.
* Angela shivers, eyeing the contraption, "Once that's done it should be better... making a brace..."
<Chad`Winters> My suit works fine...6He glances down at his ribs, which are still bruised
<Angela> "Then why are you barely wearing it?"
* Angela shivers still, drying but sitll soaked through.
<Chad`Winters> I'm working on my tan. 6He stares down at the fire.
<Angela> "C-Cold...." *she hugs herself, apparently having trouble bringing her body temperature back up*
<Chad`Winters> Warm your chest, your arm's will warm themselves up.
* Angela rubs the top of her chest, blushing a little as it's basically rubbing her breasts, doing her best to warm up, but still shivering.
<Angela> "I'm sorry."
* Angela blinks, and tries to pretend she didn't say anything.
* Chad`Winters pretends he didn't hear anything, that or he doesn't care anymore.
* Angela curls up a bit, shivering still, pale and cold looking, water dripping out of her hair.
<Chad`Winters> Move closer to the fire, you'll warm up soon enough. 6He looks out at their opening, watching the rain just beat down outside, and light up from the lightning
* Angela moves closer in the tiny shelter, closing distance as she gets close to the fire, and Chad.
<Chad`Winters> This isn't going to let up anytime soon...6He makes no motion to hide his disapointment
* Angela grabs teh fish, starting to get them ready to be cooked, shivering still, but hunger has come to mind. "Good thing we brought snacks then..."
* Angela starts cooking, settling in next to him. "It's been a long time..."
* Chad`Winters shifts around, moving closer to the entrance of their makeshift hut, his eyes focused outside.
<Angela> "Had a lot of time to think about the past... everything I've done... at least... the things I can remember..."
* Angela turns the fish over.
* Chad`Winters scratches the scruff that's grown on his face
<Angela> "I wasn't exactly the perfect picture of a sibling... when I was your sibling..." *she keeps cooking*
* Angela sighs, dropping it again, handing him fish on a stick.
* Chad`Winters doesn't seem to be listening, apparently he's heard it one too many times.
* Angela seems to know this, but hides a look of frustration.
<Angela> "Words don't change anything anyways..."
<Chad`Winters> I think it's letting up...6He goes to move out when it another loud boom is heard and it downpours again.
* Angela sighs, still holding out the food. "Eat."
* Chad`Winters glances at it then her. 1"You need it more than I do."
<Angela> "I've got some too... you caught it..."
* Angela tries to look like she's just being fair, avoiding his eyes. The fish is twice as big as hers.
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela, his expression neutral. He takes it and begins eating it.
* Angela looks away and sets to work on her own, seems she's gone back to her eerie silence.
* Ariel has left #taw13hell1
* Chad`Winters finishes the fish and tosses it's remains into the fire.
* Angela leans back a little, yawning, shivering still, she closes her eyes, curling up nearby.
* Angela mumbles after a while, "...What will it take...?"
<Chad`Winters> Goto sleep....
* Angela sighs a little, and goes to sleep with a shiver.
<Chad`Winters> 6Time passes by and Angela would awake the next morning.
* Angela sits up, yawning gently.
<Chad`Winters> 6It seems to be morning, a the tree leaves can be heard moving from the wind.
* Angela looks about, running fingers through her long hair.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad's no where to be seen, all tracks have been washed away from the rain.
* Angela gets up and steps out of the shelter, she descides to start looking around a bit.
<Chad`Winters> 6Whiles theirs some leaves and branches on the ground in the center of the jungle, the further out she'd go, the more she'd find, along with more tree's being bend over
* Angela looks more for Chad then she does leaves.
<Chad`Winters> 6As she moves towards the way she came, she'd find, a slightly tore up beach from all the waves, but not signs of Chad.
* Angela starts to look nervous, continuing her search around the shore.
<Chad`Winters> 6After some searching she'ld finally find what could be tracks leading into the ocean.
<Chad`Winters> 6Apparently he drowned himself.
* Angela looks about, "Chad?"
<Chad`Winters> 6The only response is the sound of the waves crashing onto shore.
* Angela calls out louder, "CHAD?!"
* Chad`Winters steps out of the jungle, he looks over at Angela. 1"It's a good thing their aren't head hunters on this island..."
* Angela blushes fiercely and looks down to hide her relief.
* Chad`Winters sets down 4 tied up giant leaves.
<Angela> "So... what have you bee up to...?"
<Chad`Winters> Collecting water. Unless you enjoy the taste of salty water...
<Angela> "O-Oh... good plan..."
* Angela looks embarrassed and sighs, "I'll just... go... ummm..."
<Chad`Winters> Collect fire wood and make rope. 6He tosses her the last of his blades, leaving him with two
* Angela catches it and nods, walking off to do so.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the water and begins walking off into it, his spear in his hand.
<DeathStar> -THREE WEEKS LATER-
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad drags a downed tree along the beach.
* Angela looks up from a large pile of ropes.
<Angela> "You know, we keep this up we're going to convert the whole island."
* Chad`Winters grunts and sets the log down alongside the others. 1"We need a sturdier shelter..."
<Angela> "Yeah I know, I don't disagree at all."
* Angela has gotten a lot more comforterable with him around, she's done her best to maintain her decency though with her clothing torn and worn as it is.
* Chad`Winters turns, his eyes set out on the ocean again, the bruising mostly gone off his side, his upperbody tanned nod from all the sun and his beard having grown stayed at it's stubble length.
* Angela lashes two logs together, a lot less hesitant at heavy labor now, the sun's done a fair job of bronzing her own skin, contrasting interestingly with her hair, she sighs as she finishes a lash. "Should we center it out here or in the trees?"
<Chad`Winters> Tree's. 6He pulls out the spear from the sand and begins moving towards the shore.
* Angela lays a few logs down near the tree line, then walks over to toss more kindling in the fire.
* Chad`Winters begins trudging out along the newly reformed beach, heading towards a deeper area.
* Angela watches him quietly, wondering if it's so bad she's getting used to this.
* Chad`Winters goes about waist deep and begins waiting.
* Angela blushes a bit and shakes her head, working on thinner branches for cooking.
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
Session Close: Tue Sep 11 22:59:27 2007

Session Start: Thu Sep 13 19:41:51 2007
Session Ident: #taw13hell2
* Now talking in #taw13hell2
* Xanatos has joined #taw13hell2
* Dias has joined #taw13hell2
* Angela has joined #taw13hell2
<Dias> 6Another week has passed for our stalwart victims. It's an overcast day with signs of rain in the distance.
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
* Chad`Winters finishes lashing together the last support for one of the shelters.
* Angela sighs and finsihes putting on the leaves to the roof. She sighs tiredly and sits down.
<Angela> "Chad... can we talk?"
* Chad`Winters doesn't glance at Angela as he finishes tightening the last. 1"Would you even listen if I said no?"
<Angela> "Not really. It's nearly been two months and the silence is driving me mad."
<Chad`Winters> The leaves rustle...I find it quite relaxing.
<Angela> "Why are you so... angry with me...?"
<Chad`Winters> I thought that was rather obvious by now. 6He moves to the side and gathers some palm like leaves and tosses them against the side, his hands weaving them together.
<Angela> "My mistakes? My being who I am? THere seems to be a lot of reasons. I just have no idea which one anymore."
<Chad`Winters> You assume it's just not apparent thing. 6He continues weaving the leaves into the walls.
<Angela> NRP: Was that english?
<DeathStar> NRP: Engrish
<Angela> "What...?"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Just not one...
<Chad`Winters> You assume it's one apparent thing...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> CASS YOU BOOBS ARE AWESOME!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *Groans*
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. WHAT THE FUCK?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *moves one chan oveR*
<Marcus`> NRP: LOL!!!
<DeathStar> NRP: *Dias and Marcus are on the island, staring*
<Angela> "I guess I can see it being a build up of things. Chad... I've just wanted to make things right..."
<Chad`Winters> Not everything can be fixed, you of all people should realize that by now.
* Angela sighs softly, "Can't they at least get better? Chad, blood or no blood, I still see you as... well... someone that matters to me."
<Chad`Winters> You have no reason to, the only reason you clung onto me was because you found out I was your blood brother.
<Angela> "The only reason you percieved Chad... family to me is more then blood."
<Chad`Winters> That's where we differ than. 6He finishes weaving the wall together and looks off at the distance, watching the rain get closer.
<Angela> "I'm... sorry for the gift... I gave Aya... it didn't even occur to me your reactions at the time."
<Chad`Winters> Yeah whatever. 6He moves over and begins grabbing the rain collectors.
<Angela> "No, Chad, I am."
<Angela> "I'm sorry because I realised shortly after how you must feel about... well... Eve."
<Chad`Winters> Just like you were sorry all the other times.
<Angela> "Slightly better then not regretting the action."
* Chad`Winters 's hand clenches briefly at her last words. He moves over to the beach and slams one of the water collectors into the sand.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: The eve words.
<Angela> "When she and I had been kidnapped, brainwashed... some of that got left over when we were brought back."
* Chad`Winters moves over, slamming another rain collector in the sand.
<Angela> "She was like an older sister to me during that time. I left you alone when she... but..."
* Angela is clenching her own hands.
<Chad`Winters> There you go...Always clinging onto someone in hopes of making yourself a little more complete.
<Angela> "...That's why I gave that toy to Aya... Chad... to let go."
<Angela> "Yes.... I'm weak, I have a tendancy to cling. I don't think I'm capable of being a loner, of not depending on others."
<Chad`Winters> That's the problem with people like you. Always having to depend on someone. 6He shoves another rain collector into the ground. 1"You know what the problem with people like you?"
<Angela> NRP: ,,,I need a rosetta stone.
<Angela> "The... what?"
* Angela blinks as Chad breaks into ENgrish again.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Damn me!
* Chad`Winters glances at her finally then pauses as he thinks to himself, only shaking his head. 1"You know what the proble is, with people like you?"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: problem
<Angela> "What's the problem with people like me?"
<Chad`Winters> How can you rely on someone who can't stand up on their own. 6He slams the last one in, this one going deeper than the others.
* Angela blinks, thinking about that.
<Chad`Winters> Even now, after you turn your back on your past, you still cling to something from it.
<Angela> "...So I have to... I have to let go of it."
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head. 1"You'll never let go of it, you wouldn't ever feel complete again and that's your biggest weakness, one of the biggest reasons I can't stand you." 6He moves off towarsd the beach now, yanking his spear out the ground. The rain begins to fall now.
* Angela gets up, following him. "How do you know? What is it?"
<Chad`Winters> Your pathetic attachment to being bonded with someone. 6He begins wading into the water now.
* Angela sighs, as if expecting it, how much did she know going into this?
<Angela> "I was half expecting you to say Dragoons as a whole, but this is close enough."
* Angela crosses her arms. "Did it not occur to you that Sera could break the bond at any time?"
<Chad`Winters> Did it not occur to you that Seraphna is only using it to her own benefit. She couldn't care less. 6He begins moving further out.
<Angela> "So who's to say I'm not? You even just did... actually."
* Chad`Winters pauses and turns to face Angela, the first time this entire conversation, his finger points at her. 1"Tell me Angela, what was the first feeling you had when you bonded with her? Was it pleasure? Satisifaction? Did it feel like a void was being filled that was long gone?"
<Angela> "Abject terror."
* Chad`Winters stares at Angela, his attention focused on her face.
* Angela looks at him seriously.
<Angela> "She was my enemy Chad. I bonded with her to stop Ragnarok."
* Chad`Winters laughs out loud. 1"Than break the bond." 6His arms cross, a serious look on his face.
<Angela> "That's just the thing... without it, I'd never have gotten out of Centerpoint alive... it's highly beneficial, even out here on this island."
<Angela> "You should know by now... pilots don't get benefits from the bond."
<Angela> "Somehow... I did."
<Chad`Winters> Most likely a back feed caused by the fact you two share dna.
<Chad`Winters> And you prove to me again, that even now you can't hold yourself up with out the help of someone else.
* Angela sighs
<Angela> "Chad, know what Zephyr once told me?"
<Chad`Winters> I can only imagine it wasn't a whole lot.
<Angela> "'You can't let go of being the special little Omega, you're just in love with being a Dragoon. You'll never take the DNA change.'"
<Chad`Winters> And she was right.
* Angela looks down at herself, then up at Chad.
<Angela> "I took the change, Chad."
<Chad`Winters> But you can't let go, here you stand, still attached to the Omega.
<Angela> "Lemme ask you... did you ever rebond with Zephyr?"
<Chad`Winters> No.
<Angela> "Not at all?"
<Angela> "I know you wanted to."
<Chad`Winters> That's where you're wrong Angela. I wasn't going to put her through the same pain twice.
<Angela> "You already had, once at VI's base, again on the PAX."
<Angela> "A third time you mean?"
<Chad`Winters> We never bonded on PAX.
<Angela> "You were. As Id."
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"That bond remained from the first bond.
<Angela> "So you clung to it all that time."
<Angela> "As did she, through a coma."
<Chad`Winters> No, I never knew it was there. And from what I can tell, Id never fully knew it was there until near the end either.
<Angela> "So she clings, even through that kind of emptiness, and no problems. But I hold onto a bond for reasons you tolerate with Sera, and you have a problem."
<Angela> "Oh that's right... you've never been a Dragoon, you don't know what a closed bond feels like."
<Chad`Winters> Actually, I rather enjoy Seraphna's presence. She doesn't dick around on the judgements she makes.
* Angela narrows her eyes.
<Angela> "Tell me something Chad... where were you?"
<Chad`Winters> Mind narrowing that down a bit? 6He slams his spear into the water and leans forward against it.
<Angela> "Centerpoint."
<Chad`Winters> Aya came down with a temperature of a 103.
<Angela> "She was sick?"
* Angela 's face changes to concern.
<Chad`Winters> No, apparently a 103 degrees is normal for a 1 year old.
<Angela> "Cut the sarcasm. THat changes something at least for me."
* Angela sighs a bit.
<Angela> "Look, Chad, I'm not you. I don't fit into your world of perfection and happiness. I get it."
<Chad`Winters> I don't expect perfection, I expect people to live upto their mistakes and become a better person. Something you've never been good at.
<Angela> "I have been trying to improve, but I'm not going to give up the only edge I have in protecting those I care about jsut to satisfy your fucking ego!"
* Angela glares, fist clenched, the hesitation gone.
* Chad`Winters leans there, his face calm. 1"Maybe you really do care, but deep down inside, you know that when you formed the bond, you jumped a little bit in joy because it felt so good."
<Angela> "After I formed the bond, yes, I did. Because I had strength and speed again, I had the ability to fight and not stand back while you and Sera did it all."
<Angela> "The worst feeling I've ever had as a human? Helplessness."
<Chad`Winters> Really? Because you know, being human...I'd have to say I don't feel helpless at all.
<Angela> "You're also far older then me, a lot bigger then me, and musch stronger."
<Angela> "Look at me Chad, I'm a 16, maybe 17 year old kid."
<Chad`Winters> Strength, and size has no bearing on a fight Angela. Do you think Marcus is bigger and stronger than me? And look at what's he's accomplished.
<Angela> "He's bigger and stronger then me, you all are."
<Angela> "Ripple wouldn't have me as easily as he did that day..."
* Angela shakes a little
<Chad`Winters> That's where you fail Angela. And he would, you know why? Because you have no confidence.
<Angela> "So you think if I did I'd have been able to fight him too?"
<Chad`Winters> It's possible...But you should thank Billy for helping you there, you you ironically tried to kill later.
<Angela> "Yeah..." *she looks down, she's actually spent the last year apologising*
<Angela> "Yeah I know... I saw a Dark One..."
<Angela> "Chad... It's clinigng but... I can't figure this all out on my own."
<Angela> "I need advise... I need help."
<Chad`Winters> Learn from someone else. 6He turns, yanking the spear out.
<Angela> "I've got nobody else."
<Chad`Winters> A horrible feeling isn't it? Knowing that you have no one to turn to, to help you.
<Angela> "Terrible..."
<Angela> "You keep saying all these things about me, you keep judging me... if you're gonna do this, at least show me another way."
<Chad`Winters> If you can't fix it yourself Angela, than how can someone else. 6He trudges out, now half way upto his waist.
* Angela watches him, biting her lower lip a little.
<Chad`Winters> Every decision you've made leading upto this point has always benefited someone that's later used it against you Angela. When are you going to learn?
* Angela blinks at him.
<Angela> "Benefitted... someone..."
<Angela> "You think Sera will use the bond against me or something?"
<Chad`Winters> You were a pawn the day you were born, one who's never been able to get across the board and be promoted. Even now you're bonded with someone you despised so greatly that you wanted to kill her without a seconds thought.
* Angela sits on the beach and sighs. "And I could very well be letting you weaken me or munioulate me into doing something you want right now."
<Chad`Winters> Spade used you, Dom used you, Phaeton used you. Hell even your own father used you Angela. And yet you always go back put yourself in a situation to be used. Why?
<Angela> "Because when I do it, I normally think it's for the best... or that I really want to do it."
* Angela lays back, looking up at the sky.
* Chad`Winters looks back at Angela. 1"Why possible use could I get out of someone as weak as you?"
<Angela> "The people you jsut mentioned got a lot of use out of me."
<Chad`Winters> ....Seraphna even told me when Cran reappeared, when you full knew he was dead. You quickly fell into line with him.
<Angela> "Yeah, I did, snapped free of it a bit... I don't even know WHY this time."
<Angela> "I knew he was."
* Angela sounds pissed at herself.
<Angela> "It's just... I heard his voice and this overpowering instinct... god did he fuck with ym head THAT MUCH?"
<Chad`Winters> I'll tell you why. 6He turns trudging towards shore again. 1"Because you're weak Angela. As much as you hated what Cran did to you, you still longed for it.
<Angela> "I want to get stronger Chad."
<Chad`Winters> Same old rhetoric. How many times did you tell Zephyr, I won't fail you this time, only to turn around and fail her again! 6His voice raises slightly.
<Angela> "Too many."
<Angela> "It doesn't change that I want to get stronger."
<Chad`Winters> It's a pipe dream when it comes to you Angela. All you do is talk, but you never prove anything.
<Chad`Winters> You let people down left and right, causing pain and anguish.
<Angela> "So I should jsut submit to what I do Chad?"
<Angela> "Give up? Be what I so clearly am?"
<Chad`Winters> You're the one who wants to forge your own path. That's for you to figure out.
<Angela> "I'd break the bond right now, but it'd just be out of some desire to prove you wrong about that. It's cheap... plus it's possibly our only way off this sand pile."
<Chad`Winters> Baring that Seraphna's looking for us right now. 6He stops, his hand clenches tightly against the spear.
<Angela> "It's one of the few hopes we have."
* Chad`Winters grunts in response.
<Angela> "That Janus transponder in the shuttle, if it's working at all somewhere, is no where near as powerful as a bond connection. She knows we're alive at any rate."
<Chad`Winters> That wasn't a Janus shuttle. I can't stand Janus shuttles.
<Angela> "The transponder is worse then."
* Chad`Winters scoffs at Angela. 1"That's right, I forget how high on your horse you are over Janus stuff."
<Angela> "No, just my own work."
<Angela> "And come on, your ego is no smaller in that area."
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head. 1"You dont' see me as the president of a company that's the lap dog for our leader's war."
* Angela looks at him cooly. "I made an oath Chad. And for once I'm not breaking it."
<Chad`Winters> Even to the end, you're unable to decipher the difference between what's right and wrong.
<Angela> "Warren and Cheryl too? How about Zephyr? I've read over the reports, she followed this same oath right up until that explosion."
<Chad`Winters> Warren and Cheryl have been off the radar for for almost 10 months until we got stranded.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: minus -for
<Angela> "And Warren's last conversation with me was about his commital to his duty."
<Chad`Winters> Strange that he'd be gone with Cheryl and Ben for almost a year now then, huh?
<Angela> "I don't know Chad... I didn't get a word. I have no idea what he's doing, or if it's not EarthGov itself hiding him."
<Angela> "Right and Wrong Chad, I need to know what's what before I can make my own move."
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head. He turns again, moving out deeper. 6The rain begins to fall steady now, light thunder rumbles in the background.
<Angela> "Or are you now suggesting I do exactly what I've done in the past and blindly leap."
<Chad`Winters> Do whatever you want Angela. Just don't expect anyone to be surprised anymore.
<Angela> "Fine..."
* Chad`Winters takes a deep breath and dives under the water, apparently his ribs have started to feel better.
* Angela looks down at the wetting sand, the rain doesn't seem to bother her anymore, she's adapted well to the island life.
<Angela> "I'm better then that... I am..."
<Chad`Winters> 6A minutes goes by, than two minutes.
* Angela looks up, watching the water a bit more, counting the time in her head.
<Chad`Winters> 6Three minutes pass.
<Angela> "Chad...?"
* Angela walks to the water, a bit into it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Because Chad can hear that.
* Angela dives in after him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad's no where to be seen, he has been under water for almost 5 minutes now.
* Angela scans the water as she's under it, swimming out a bit.
<Chad`Winters> 6She see's a lot of water and some fish and a lot of sand and some shell like creatures.
* Angela comes up for air, calling out, "CHAD!?"
<Chad`Winters> What? 6He looks over at Angela from the shore, water draining off him, as the rain hits him.
* Angela shakes her head and swims back, getting on her feet. "I was..."
<Angela> "...Nevermind..."
* Chad`Winters tosses several crustacean creatures into the hut along with three fish.
<Angela> "Good catch..."
<Angela> "You know, I've found out something interesting, being human..."
* Angela climbs in, squeezing water out of her long hair.
<Chad`Winters> Uh huh...6He's apparently not paying attention anymore. He moves back down the beach and grabs a full rain collector.
<Angela> "You get awfully stronger living in the wild, adapt really quick, humans are very fast in self improvement..."
* Angela pulls her hair behind her. "Not to mention, they assume too much sometimes."
* Chad`Winters takes a deep drink of rain water.
<Angela> "Chad?"
* Angela looks out at the rain.
* Chad`Winters finishes the water and sets it back down to collect more. He grabs the spear again.
<Angela> "Oh would you answer."
<Chad`Winters> I thought we determined that you were going to talk wether I answered or not.
<Angela> "Well yes, I was just wondering, with the thought of the bond being a search beacon, is it smart to drop it right now?"
* Chad`Winters snorts at her. 1"You'll find any excuse to hold onto it won't you?"
<Angela> "No, it's just... well..." *she's hiding something....*
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|DATASTRUCTURES
<Angela> "Frankly... I wanted to see what you really thought about her..."
<Angela> NRP: Hello?
* Chad`Winters begins wading into the water, apparently he just assumes her is her imaginary friend.
<Angela> "Guess you really didn't care either way then..."
<Chad`Winters> When I don't know who her is, no, I don't.
<Angela> "Seraphna."
<Chad`Winters> She's everything you could've been. She's someone I know I can place my life in and can trust that I'll come out alive. She's someone I can trust Aya with.
* Angela nods, "I'm too weak to drop my bond right?"
* Chad`Winters doesn't respond to that.
<Angela> "Well? You said that."
<Angela> "I always need to follow someone else's path, can't make my own in life... oh screw it, Chad, I broke the bond when you first challenged me."
* Chad`Winters eyes Angela. 1"I hope not...That was our highest chance of being rescued.
<Angela> "But you said you wanted me to." *she looks worried*
* Chad`Winters sighs as he pinches the bridge between his nose. 1"You can't even stick to your own convictions. 6He waves his hands out, it's obvious he's disapointed, but not surprised.
* Angela giggles
* Angela busts out laughing.
<Angela> "Niether can you, it seems."
* Angela stands up, looking smug.
<Angela> "Always letting myself be munipulated, huh?"
<Angela> "Like I'd toss away this." *she walks back to the hut*
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, his face no longer neutral, definetly not angry, but not happy. 1"Humans are rarely capable of change Angela. A murderer is always a murderer, a thief always a thief. A man who can kill a man in cold blood is always capable of doing it again..."
* Angela looks back at him from the hut, "I am. And I'll keep changing."
<Angela> "I decided when I shed my Dragoon abilities that I was going to make my own destiny for once. I'm not backing out on that."
<Chad`Winters> You'll fall back on that same old rut again because it's easier, it's more comfortable to you, it's your safe area. We all do.
<Angela> "Think that, I intend on provin you wrong Chad."
<Chad`Winters> Than break the bond...6He looks back at her, his face neutral again. 1"But not till after we're rescued."
* Angela looks at him, up and down, and considers.
<Chad`Winters> Just because we're not related doesn't meant you can have sex with me...6He shakes his head in disgust and turns, head back into the water. 6Thunder rumbles in the sky as the rain begins to let up slightly.
<Angela> "Someone's thinking a little too highly of himself. Besides, I'm too young to be having such promiscuous thoughts." *she grins*
<Angela> "Chad?"
* Chad`Winters pauses, the water upto his chest now.
<Angela> "After I break it... train me to fight?"
* Chad`Winters doesn't answer and dives under.
* Angela goes back to watching, sighing a bit.
<Angela> "I just wonder if that prophecy has any weight to it..."
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Thu Sep 13 22:43:48 2007

Session 251:

10-587.9.10

<DeathStar> 6* It has been nearly a year since the girl and her dog have made a pact to kill two people. The weather is cooling again, much like when they first met.
* Lilith` stands quietly in the kitchen, awakening early as per usual. Despite her favor to a rather cut up, she calls customized, leather outfit and a metal collar, she has donned an apron from god knows where and is attempting to make eggs and bacon like back when they met.
* Raquel is found sleeping in... again. She hasn't been sleeping well lately. Something weighing more and more on her mind
* Lilith` ambles to the bedroom, leaving the food unattended.
* Raquel tosses in her sleep.
* Lilith` stares for a long while, irritation in her red eyes, but leaves the girl, not daring awaken her as is likely the case most days, and goes back to cooking... overcooking. Unfortunately Lilith lacks the formality for gourmet tastes.
* Raquel wakes up after a while, slowly pulling herself out of bed
* Lilith` scoops the copiously burnt foodstuffs onto plates, running water over the pan which sizzles horrendously, then puts both plates on the table and seats herself, awaiting Raquel.
* Raquel drags herself out sleepily, to the smell of burnt food. She rubs her eyes, "...good morning Lilith..."
<Lilith`> "It is morning, little mistress."
<Raquel> "...you made breakfast...?"
<Lilith`> "Yes, mistress, I have."
* Lilith` nods to the food, it speaks for itself in so many ways.
* Raquel smiles a little, "...it smells good..." She takes a seat.
* Lilith` nods once, as if just acknowledging, and awaits Raquel to take a bite before attempting herself.
* Raquel starts to eat contentedly... not even seeming to notice the black bits
* Lilith` starts to eat as well, having perfected picking up her plate and lifting it and her head back, eating bits that pile in in cycles of chewing and swallowing.
* Lilith` finishes first, because of this, and sets about washing her plate so that she can wash Raquel's as well when she finishes.
* Raquel returns her plate to the kitchen, after eating. "...you didn't have to do that..."
<DeathStar> 6* An inhuman presence can be felt nearing the house. Especially to two sensitive people such as Raquel and her dog.
<Lilith`> "It makes me useful."
* Raquel nods, then pauses. Creepy presence.
* Lilith` frowns and looks to Raquel. "...Little mistress?"
<Raquel> "...you feel that too... Lilith...?"
* Lilith` sets the plate down and dries her hands. "I sense... something. What disturbs me is it is bothering little mistress."
* Lilith` turns and looks toward the living room, forming a growl in her throat.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be on the stairs.
<Raquel> "...it isn't human... but it isn't like us either..."
<Lilith`> "Little mistress should not go near it."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a knock.
* Raquel looks to Lilith, "...will you answer it then?"
* Lilith` pauses, growing silent, waiting to see how Raquel responds. Nods. "If ojousama wishes."
* Lilith` makes her way to the living room pointedly and unlocks the door, opening it in swift motions.
<DeathStar> 6* A normal looking human stands there. He wears a rather casual outfit, looking like he's a tourist of the street.
<Lilith`> "Please leave."
<DeathStar> <Man> I have something I wish to discuss with your mistress.
<Lilith`> "I will convey your wishes to ojousama, but I will not abide getting near her..."
* Raquel listens from the kitchen, remaining out of sight.
<DeathStar> <Man> Very well. I suppose the matter of the human named Ripple is unimportant.
<DeathStar> 6* He turns to go.
* Lilith` narrows her eyes slightly, but says nothing.
* Raquel steps out quickly, but says nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* The man walks down the steps again, whistling
<Lilith`> "..Ojousama...?"
* Raquel hurries to the door, "W-wait!"
<DeathStar> 6* The man turns his back around.
* Lilith` seems... at least partially surprised for a change, quickly moving to stand between her and him.
<Raquel> "...what do you know of Ripple...?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man turns back around. "Well, for starters, I know he was murdered by two lowly humans."
<Lilith`> "A being is not measured by its genes."
<Raquel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Man> And that his soul is trapped. And that a person with your...capabilities, could free it.
<Raquel> "...explain."
* Lilith` frowns and stares solidly, studying the 'tourist.'
<DeathStar> 6* The man nods once. "There was a third person who was present when Ripple died." 6He reaches into his shirt, and pulls out a photograph of a 4 year old kid. He holds it out toward Lilith. "This child stole his soul."
* Lilith` takes it and before looking for herself, presents it to Raquel with both hands.
* Raquel examines the photo, "...a... child...?" Says the preteen.
<DeathStar> <Man> Yes. Do not be deceived by that. She is quite ... capable and powerful.
<Lilith`> "Human children do not steal souls. She is something else."
<DeathStar> <Man> Yes.
* Lilith` narrows her eyes sternly at him. "What is this child?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man seems to think that over. "It is hard to put it into words. But she is not what you would call...of this world."
<Lilith`> "Neither am I. Explain."
* Raquel listens, taking in the information. Lilith is asking all of the questions she needs to know.
<DeathStar> 6* The man smiles a bit, though it's not friendly. "I cannot say exactly what she is. What is of importance is that, much like she could take Ripple's soul, you, young lady, could take it back from her."
<Lilith`> "Knowing an enemy is the first step to defeating one..."
* Lilith` narrows her eyes further at him. "What are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man sighs a bit. "Someone who wishes to see the child dealt with. I thought we would have common ground, since she was friends with the two people who killed Ripple. And the fact she has his soul."
<Lilith`> "That does not answer my question..."
<DeathStar> <Man> No, it does not.
* Lilith` twitches her fingers slightly, the quick vibrations of her tail giving away an underlying urge to do something about him, but after a year, Raquel would know she would never move without permission.
<DeathStar> 6* The man doesn't seem to have any fear. Either he doesn't know what that means, or could care less.
<Lilith`> "Ojousama..."
<Raquel> "...what do I need to do... Mr.Soulless...?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man pulls out a black jewel. "This is a weapon that will...amplify your abilities. If you weaken her, then stab her with this weapon...you can draw out Ripple's soul.
<DeathStar> 6* The man holds it out.
* Raquel steps forward to take it, "...that is all...?"
<DeathStar> <Man> Simple, yes?
<Lilith`> "Kotowari. I refuse..."
<Lilith`> "...I am fighting for ojousama."
<Raquel> "...too simple..."
<DeathStar> <Man> The hard part is that she is frequently with the men that murdered your brother. OF course, if you beat her...they will be no problem.
* Lilith` seems bothered, trying to remain a mediary, but unfortunately Raquel seems to be moving on her own at this point.
* Raquel nods, "...alright."
<DeathStar> 6* The man nods once.
<Lilith`> "...Ojousama..."
* Lilith` frowns, at a loss.
<DeathStar> <Man> I will even do one more favor for you
<DeathStar> 6* Man pulls out a map of the city, with some spots circled. He holds it out. "These are places they visit regularly."
<Raquel> "...a... favor?"
* Raquel takes the map, "...I will liberate him from her."
<DeathStar> <Man> I believe you
<DeathStar> 6* The man casts his gaze toward Lilith.
* Lilith` stands quietly behind Raquel, glaring at the tourist.
<DeathStar> 6* The man turns and begins to walk down the steps.
<Lilith`> (Lilith "Thanks. Now having her to myself is all ruined. Kunyarou.")
* Raquel looks down at the crystal and map uncertainly.
<Lilith`> "Ojousama should not trust strangers."
<Lilith`> (Raquel "But he had candy!")
<Lilith`> (* Lilith facepalms.)
* Raquel looks at Lilith, "...I don't trust him. He is a monster."
<Lilith`> "Monster, ojousama?"
* Raquel nods, "...not a guardian like you, or a weapon like me... he is a monster. And is simply using me to achieve his own desire..."
<Lilith`> "Then why did ojousama accept his invitation?"
<Raquel> "...if doing as he wishes, will let me save him... then I will be his tool a little while..."
<Lilith`> "I will not encourage this, but if ojousama deems it necessary..."
* Lilith` turns eye to the items Raquel has acquired.
<Raquel> "...if I can be with Ripple again... it's worth it..."
<DeathStar> 6* The jewel has an unnatural power in it.
<Lilith`> "Often longing to be with those that have left this thread brings one closer to them in a way one did not expect or want."
* Lilith` frowns at the jewel. "...He did not explain this, either. What is it?"
<Raquel> "...a weapon..." *closes her eyes, focusing on it's power*
* Raquel holds out her hand, and a scythe of dark cystal forms in her hand. The shaft is smooth, and almost black, but the blade is jagged and a deep purple. The whole thing seems to absorb light, rather than reflect it.
* Lilith` narrows her eyes. "I do not like it."
* Raquel lets the scythe disappear in a flash. "...it is nessisary."
<Lilith`> "Do you know how to use it?"
* Raquel nods, "...it is simple enough..."
<Lilith`> "Fundamentals are always simple... Facing an opponent never is."
<Raquel> "...I can handle the weapon..." *closes her eyes*
<Lilith`> "If ojousama says so. I would prefer to handle the confrontation if possible, however."
* Raquel nods, "I won't do this without your help..."
* Lilith` shakes her head. "I mean that I wish ojousama to not fight."
<Lilith`> "It will only lead to her own injury."
* Raquel steps over to Lilith and rests against her arm, "...I was made to fight... I don't mind..."
* Lilith` sighs. "I mind. It is the duty of an inugami to see that the master is unharmed."
<Raquel> "Then... I'm sorry for making things difficult for you... Lilith..."
<Raquel> "You have a poor master..."
* Lilith` scowls. "Ojousama is ojousama. I will work harder."

<DeathStar> 6* Stardate: 10-587.9.10 - 12 months after S12 -
<DeathStar> Location: The HQ of Cassandra's Anti-Terrorist Hunt Group
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra, Setsuna, Theron, Vyssa, Pope, and Em...have had little business so far.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope smokes a cig, sitting in a recliner chair. "So, when do I get paid?"
* Alicia is now known as Vyssa
<Cassandra_> ...when some politico needs to cover their worthless butt. *drinks some sake*
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... should you be drinking that much?
* Vyssa seems to be in agreement with Pope. "The alcohol content in that is impressive."
<Cassandra_> Cultural thing.
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... Bloody 'ell. Our leader is wasted.
<Marcus`> *Theron remains off to the side, quiet as he eyes rest on the ceiling.
<Vyssa> "If we had any work to do, I'd be worried."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "What? You can't handle a little Sake?"
<Cassandra_> If I were wasted, I'd be slurring my speech.
<DeathStar> 6* A report comes in about two idiots fighting a water hydrant. Nothing supernatural there.
<Cassandra_> ...whack jobs or is the hydrant possessed?
<Vyssa> "I expect whack jobs."
<DeathStar> <Pope> The descriptions do seem to match two people we know. 6He eyes the report.
<Cassandra_> Who?
<DeathStar> 6* Pope holds it out. Cass could see it matches Marcus and Dias.
<Ariel> Em> "...definately whack jobs."
<Vyssa> "They do seem familiar."
<Cassandra_> Whack jobs alright.
<Vyssa> "Mystery solved before we even began."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope lets out some smoke. "Don't suppose we could arrest them."
<Vyssa> "We probably could."
<Cassandra_> ....hey...is one of them humping that hydrant?
<Vyssa> "... maybe we should."
<Marcus`> <Theron> No. *he says simply*
* Vyssa shakes her head a little, disparaging of the crazy people on TV
<Cassandra_> We better collect them anyway.
* Vyssa stands up, preparing to go. "Isn't it our civic duty?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> Now we're talkin', mates.
<Cassandra_> Already, suit up people! If things don't get exciting, I'll take you to a strip club afterwards!
* Vyssa suits up
<Marcus`> *Theron just stands simply, not sure why exactly he is here.
<DeathStar> <Pope> All I need is my Em.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope says proudly.
* Cassandra_ moves to suit up.
<DeathStar> 6* THE TAW LOGO SPINS
<DeathStar> 6* The group is in front of the damaged hydrant, when reports of buildings flying and shit can be heard from nearby
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Damn... they made a mess this time."
<Vyssa> "... I hope the incidents aren't related."
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... hmmm. 6* He begins to head for a nearby courtyard.
<Marcus`> *Theron has since vanished.
* Vyssa listens to the reports
<DeathStar> 6* As Pope, and whoever followed him, arrives at the courtyard, they would see buildings are now laying in it.
<Ariel> Em> *sticks by Pope, camera in hand*
<Cassandra_> Things just got exciting...
* Vyssa follows Pope and Em
<DeathStar> 6* Pope stares at the building. "Think those two did that?"
<Ariel> Em> "I... I bet the caused it. Though I don't think they did it directly."
<Vyssa> "... I don't see how they could..."
<DeathStar> 6* A dark creature emerges from the building.,
<Vyssa> "It's possible, though."
<DeathStar> 6* It looks like a Dark One, with a tail.
* Vyssa stares. "They're back?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope grabs his guns, spinning them. "Holy hell."
<Cassandra_> Don't react, act! Spread out and pin it down!
* Vyssa readies her gun, pointing it at the beast
* Vyssa darts to one side, circling
<DeathStar> 6* A werewolf emerges next.
<Ariel> Em> *takes pictures*
<Cassandra_> ...you've got to be kidding me...
<Chad`Winters> 6The dark creature begins coughing, it's tail begins to disappear.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Maybe this is a movie shoot.
* Vyssa seems uncertain, staring
<Ariel> Setsuna> *aims her gun... in time to see the creature start to... shrink?
<DeathStar> 6* The werewolf is holding Billy, her chest bloodied, her black dress ruined
<Cassandra_> BILLY!
<DeathStar> <Pope> He ate the evil girl?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *aims at the wolf instead*
* Vyssa turns to aim at the wolf too
<Marcus`> 6* The werewolf slowly places Billy down on the ground, it's hair slowly starts to retract.
<Ariel> Em> "...I... I don't have a clever line for this."
<Chad`Winters> 6The dark creature begins to loses it's dark color, revealing a 5'10" silver haired boy.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Maybe she cried wolf?
<Vyssa> "... what the hell is going on?!"
<Chad`Winters> <Voice> Now that was pretty cool.
<Vyssa> "Dark ones and... werewolves?"
<Marcus`> 6* The werewolf reverts to a young man, around 5'8", with blond hair, his is currently looking over Billy so they can't see his face.
<DeathStar> 6* It is... DIAS AND MARCUS
<Chad`Winters> 6The figure steps out of the dust, revealing Dias. He looks over at everyone. 1"Hi."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *grits her teeth* "...what did you do to her...?" *gun still aimed*
<Vyssa> "... Dias..."
<Cassandra_> ...you better have a really good story...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks unusually pale.
* Marcus` adjusts his trenchcoat and lifts Billy up into his arms, getting some blood on it. "...are you ok?" he asks her, his voice is low and pained.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Of course, which one do you want to hear?
<Vyssa> "The true one."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Dy-dying...c-can I ha...have a kiss? 6She asks Marcus weakly.
<Chad`Winters> Two things attacked Billy, we fought them off, one stabbed her with a scythe and took Ripple's soul out of her. But we beat them down.
<Vyssa> "And then you turned into a dark one and a werewolf?"
* Marcus` seems to be tearing up. "You can't be dying...you have like 2000 other souls..." it's more like a question than a statement.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's head begins to dip back from the lack of kiss.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Dark One? Werewolf? Bah, you guys are just seeing things.
* Marcus` lifts Billy up to kiss her one the lips.
<Cassandra_> ...you boys are coming with us...
<Ariel> Em> *prints off the photograph* "Look!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Plus, you're leader's drunk. 6She motions to Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Can you take pictures of Dark Ones?
<Cassandra_> I am not drunk!
<Vyssa> "Seeing things that are really there."
<Ariel> Em> "...apparently."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the photograb than suddenly snatches ita nd eats it. 1"Waf pifture?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> Intersting. So they are not vampires.
<Ariel> Em> *prints another one*
<Vyssa> "Stop eating the pictures."
<Cassandra_> People, bag these two.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias swallows hard. 1"What pictures?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> N-No!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy weakly lifts her head.
* Marcus` pauses and eyes Billy.
* Vyssa grabs Dias, a little roughly. "The one you ate, for one."
<DeathStar> <Billy> They saved .. me..
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts out of her reach before she can grab.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy winces. For whatever reason, her healing is not working
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...we need to get you to a hospital."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at Billy. 1"Yeah, that'd be a good idea."
* Marcus` shifts Billy so she can address the team with little movement.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope glances at Em, then at the group. "I say the girl talks them out of arresting the two."
<Ariel> Em> "... I don't think they actually did it."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy suddenly coughs up blood, looking at Setsuna and CAssandra pleadingly.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I promise not to use your good dresses to wash the car.
<Ariel> Em> "I mean, if she was suffering from Werewolf bites, or darkone weapons, then we might have something..."
<DeathStar> <Pope> That does look like a stab wound.
<Cassandra_> ...ok...fine...but you two need to be off the street anyway. Medical now.
<Vyssa> "What she said."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *puts her gun away* "...you always go easy on them, Cass."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I own these straights ladies. 6He shoots his fingers at them.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles, then pauses out while snuggling against Marcus
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly swoons at Billy and Marcus. 1"Oh you two are so adorable!"
<Cassandra_> Come on!
* Marcus` straitens up and shakes his head at Dias. "Come'on, let's get to the hospital." He begins to hurry off.
<Vyssa> "They are, but you still have to go."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Well, while they are all distracted, lets sell the pictures on the HoloNet.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias yawns then smacks Em's camera onto the ground. 1"Oops!"
<Vyssa> "The public has a right to know."
* Vyssa grabs the camera
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias smashes it with his foot.
* Vyssa points her gun at Dias
* Cassandra_ moves out
<DeathStar> 6* Pope narrows his eyes. "Next, Scully, we will get the proof."

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.9.10 - 1 year after last episode -
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Our heroes, MArcus and Dias, are having another leisurely day in Tokyo, after fighting crime.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias puts his leg up, a cold lemonade in his hand. 1"Now that's some good crime fighting."
* Marcus` stretches his arms out, releasing a yawn, smacking his lips together before taking a drink of his lemonade. "The way they went down. Classic."
<DeathStar> <Kid's Voice> You call that fighting crime. Lame-o.
* Marcus` pauses and glances around for the kid.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands there, wearing a pretty black dress, her black hair done up in a ponytail. She stares at the two. She looks pretty much like she always does. "All I saw was you two beating up an old man who was sleeping on the sidewalk outside a porn store."
<Chad`Winters> 6SDias turns his head towards the kid's voice. 1"Now that's just plain rude. I dont' see you fighting c rime!"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pulls out a knife. "Kay. I'll fix that!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Find a different city than! This is our beat.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stabs Dias in the leg.
* Marcus` watches idly. "Ouch. That was a good stab."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls and stomps his foot in pain. 1"You lil' brat..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks up innocently as Dias stomps around. "That's not very nice."
<Marcus`> Hey Billy. Want some lemonade? *he offers his out toward her*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy claps her hands together, smiling. "Sure, honey muffin."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias clenches his fist then swipes at Billy as she moves, missing.
* Marcus` twitches slightly, but gives her the drink. "Whatcha been into?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hops into a seat beside Marcus. "Reading books." 6She holds up a sex book. "I circled some important positions you might like."
<Chad`Winters> Probably bullying preschoolers out of their lunch money...again.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly coughs then slides behind Billy, looking down at the book. 1"I know that one."
* Marcus` coughs himself. "Billy. I already told you..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You think Marcus would like it?
<DeathStar> <Billy> As a wife, it is my duty to pleasure him.
<Chad`Winters> He better, otherwise he's straight as a coil of wires.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Marcus`> ...a coil of wires isn't strait...
* Marcus` pauses and rubs his chin. "HEY!"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits in MArcus' lap, drinking her lemonade.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides back as he looks at the two. 1"such a cute couple.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes at Dias. "Shut up."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wiggles her butt some as she sits on MArcus' lap.
* Marcus` shifts Billy to his knee. "Stop that."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Billy, you try that thing I told you he'd like?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy blinks once. "Stop what, Marcus?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> He told me he'd break my hand if I did that again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He wouldn't break your hand. Than he'd have to explain it to the cops.
<Marcus`> I...the cops?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pouts sadly. People sitting around glare at Marcus
* Marcus` waves at one of them, then glances at Dias. "There's some angry lookin people sitting around us."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well you do have a 5 year old girl sitting on your lap.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grabs some food and puts it in Marcus' mouth, like someone feeding their lover something. "Here."
* Marcus` gags and spits it out to the side. "Billy I told you to stop that!"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's eyes widen and begin to water. She begins to whimper.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You two make a lovely couple. 6He smiles widely
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Dias, glaring before glancing at Billy. "Oh don't cry. You know i'll eventually cave..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy starts to hiccup as she fights back tears, rubbing her hand at her eyes.
<Marcus`> ...uh...uh...uh. *he glances left, then right* You want some ice cream or some candy or something!?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs his lemonade and finishes it, slamming the cup down. 1"A truely beautiful day to fight crime."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to cry loudly.
<DeathStar> 6* The people stare at Marcus like he were cruel.
<Marcus`> Fine fine fine! You win, whatever..it is...you're crying over!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles, then puts more food into Marcus' mouth. "There you go!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Go for the gold Billy, go for the GOLD!
* Marcus` just eats the food, not looking very pleased.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pats his head. "Good wolfy."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, his belly. He'll kick his leg than.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Golly, Dias, really? You think I should?
* Marcus` suddenly glances down. "I asked you not to call me that...."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I do, Oh I DO.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles, then splashes lemonade in Dias' face.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks, then licks his lips. 1"Not bad..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> By the way, I put some acid in that.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles cutely, then turns back to Marcus
<DeathStar> <Billy> So, what are we gonna do today?
* Marcus` has grown quiet, his eyes on the ground beside the chair, after a moment he blinks and glances up. "Oh. Um. I dunno, ask Dias."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But Marcus was just drinking it...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pouts. "You don't like me."
<Marcus`> Since when did I stop liking you?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Since I stopped having boobs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias's datapad suddenly begins beepin and he grabs it, eyeing it. His face goes dead pans. 1"....Again?!"
<Marcus`> Oh come'on, you know you're my little hellion.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to whistle "Sitting in a tree".
* Marcus` shakes his head once and glances at Dias. "What's up?"
<DeathStar> 6* The acid turns Dias' face a shade of icky purple.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs. 1"It's the tail again...6He groans and answers it. 1"Yeah?...I'm kind busy right now..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy makes kissing sounds.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know when I'll be home...You're kidding me? I dont' want to see your parents tonight.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy swoons back and forth.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Billy. "Who was the tail again?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Boy, are you dense.
<Marcus`> ...I don't pay attention to Dias.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Awwww. That's sweet. 6She stuffs another sweet into Marcus' mouth
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look, I'll be home before 11 this time.
* Marcus` just chokes it down. "It some girl he's doin?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Boy, how would *I* know. I'm just a kid.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm not going to say that...No, Marcus and Billy are here. NO! ....6He grumbles and covers his mouth barely saying it. "I love you..."
* Marcus` pauses, going oddly still. "Did...did he say the L word?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Do you love me, Marcus?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks very serious
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly puts his datapad away. 1"....So back to our plans."
* Marcus` pauses and glances down at Billy. "Of course." He says before glancing back up to Dias. "Who was that?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then say it outloud. Say "I love you."
* Marcus` pauses and eyes Billy. "...uh...why?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Billy scowls, crossing her arms.
<Marcus`> You know I do. Why do I gotta say it?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks angry now.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his purple nose. 1"Oooh, she's gonna hurt you."
<Marcus`> Ok ok ok. *he sighs* I love you.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy beams. "Good boy."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias points at Marcus and starts laughing. 1"You wuss!"
<Marcus`> I'm the wuss!? I heard you say it like 2 minutes ago!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bullshit.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy plays a taperecording of it.
* Marcus` motions to Billy. "See?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I love you? Hah, I said, I dove.
<Marcus`> You're a moron.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Much like the title says.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's not what my GED says. 6He pulls it out of his pocket and uncrumbles it.
* Lilith` passes along behind Marcus and Dias, pauses. The malamute-like dog seems to be covered in runes, but perhaps someone just has eccentric tastes. The giant foreign dog's head turns, the maw and jaws dripping red, and some equally shining red eyes look to Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns, and stiffens.
* Marcus` pauses and points. "What is THAT!?"
<Lilith`> (...Passed alone behind. You'd have to turn, not Billy. >_>;)
<DeathStar> NRP: It's NRP!
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a something explodes down the street, and water gushes into a cafe.
* Chad`Winters scratches his head as he looks over at the ugly mutt. 1"What the hell is...."He jerks looking over at the explosion. 1"Oh hell yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* Screams can be heard as the water causes damage.
* Marcus` jumps up, pulling Billy up to his shoulder. "Let's go!" he breaks into a run for the cafe.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy acks
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias dashes after Marcus, his hands quickly moving about as he loosens himself up
* Lilith` sits and follows her, clearly having her eyes set on the midget in a black dress.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Marcus trips over his own feet
<DeathStar> 6* As Dias arrives, he would see skimpy clothed waitresses soaking wet. And that a fire hydrant is gushing water everywhere
* Marcus` slides across the ground on his face, he lays there for a moment./
<DeathStar> 6* Billy tumbles.
* Chad`Winters blinks as he eyes the skimpy clothed waitresses. 1"Ladies, ladies, what happened here?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to wail for Dias to save them.
* Lilith` sits patiently where she first stared Billy in the eyes, licking the ketchup from her mouth.
* Marcus` slowly lifts himself up to glance at Billy. "You alright?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6She looks positively serious. A look she mostly reserves for something evil.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the firehydrant and moves over to it.
<Marcus`> ...what?! Something tripped me. *he glances to see if he can find what tripped him*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands up, dusting her dress.
<DeathStar> 6* The water suddenly stops as dias nears.
<DeathStar> 6* So far, mostly chaos.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks then shrugs and throws his hands up. 1"Another disaster averted.
<DeathStar> 6* The water returns, with three times the pressure. It nails Dias in the back as he gloats
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias goes tumbling from the blast, he slams into several tables
* Marcus` sits up and sighs. "What the hell was thaT?" He pulls himself up. THen pauses at points at Dias, laughing. "BAHAHA!"
* Lilith` sets off down the sidewalk a ways, and slinks into an alleyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy watches Lilith, then turns back to the chaos at hand, glancing at all the wet people.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias gets donuts on himself. Soggy donuts.
<Marcus`> Is that hydrant possessed or something?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, and wipes water from his eyes, an angry look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* The water gushes about
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias throws his hands up to block what he can as he leg's slide out and back.
* Marcus` points. "Or there's a serious pressure buildup in this area. We should probably call a plumber."
<DeathStar> 6* Dias battles the water!
* Chad`Winters yells at Marcus, but sadly the water pressure drowns him out. He growls and begins to advance towards the hydrant.
* Marcus` glances down at Billy. "What should we do?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Are you guys the heroes? 6She seems to be looking at the crowd.
<DeathStar> *aren't
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly surges through the water, his form shifting as he blasts through it. His hand grabs the hydrants and crushes the top.
<DeathStar> 6* The water stops.
* Marcus` shakes his head. "Show off."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy puts a hand on her hip, and smiles.
* Chad`Winters shakes himself off.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: DIas
<DeathStar> 6* Something flies toward Billy. She pauses, turning her head slowly. She eeps as she's knocked right off her feet.
* Marcus` jerks around, "Billy?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hits the ground, rolling twice.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to see Billy rolling along the ground
* Marcus` moves over to kneel beside Billy. "Billy? You ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands slowly, holding her arm, which is bleeding red.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Okay, bitch, now I'm mad.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What the hell happened?
* Marcus` stands up, looking to see what or who attacked Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy aims her hand at the crowd.
<Marcus`> Who was it? Do you even know?
<DeathStar> 6* The complete opposite direction of the attack
* Marcus` slides in front of Billy. "Heeeey now. The attack came from that direction." He points.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy frowns, eyeing Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Billy dashes around him, heading for the crowd.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shakes his head at the two and goes over to the girls. 1"You girls alright?"
<Marcus`> ....well it di-Hey! *he turns and moves after her*
<DeathStar> 6* The girls hug Dias and swoon.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds her bleeding arm as she moves along, muttering foul language
<Marcus`> I heard that young lady!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shoots him the bird with her good hand
<Marcus`> I'm telling Cassie!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns and kicks at his nuts
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Now now girls, just remember that...6He turns to see the others moving off. 1"Ahh...crap..I'll catch you girls later." 6He slips out of their grip and dashes after the others
* Marcus` slides around gracefully, and smiles at her. "Who attacked you?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Grr! I can handle this myself! GO AWAY
<DeathStar> 6* Billy seems furious
<Marcus`> Oh right, i'll just walk off and let someone potentially hurt you. That's totally my style.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're the one who'll get hurt.
* Marcus` scoffs. "I'll be fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Something flies at MArcus' leg at inhuman reaction speeds
* Marcus` shifts mid-run, twisting his body, moving at an inhuman speed. "What the hell!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks up.
* Marcus` slides to a stop, glancing up. "It up there?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> *shakes her fist* STOP -o wo wow ow
<DeathStar> 6* Billy whimpers.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns and runs off.
* Marcus` glances down at Billy, to see her in pain and then looks up, he growls a low growl.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides upto the two than watches Billy run off. 1"What the hell? Did you turn her down again?
* Marcus` points up to the window. "That ugly dog attacked her." He says in a low growl.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Dog?
* Marcus` shakes his head. "Go kill it. I need to check on Billy." He turns to move after her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not this thing again? It's always the dog's fault.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus tracks Billy's blood, but it suddenly stops.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't even know where it is!
<DeathStar> 6* A crushed jewel can be seen
* Marcus` stops when the trail stops and straitens up, glancing around. He picks up the jewel and examines it. "....Billy?!" He looks for her now.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs then sniffs the air, taking in two deep snorts.
<DeathStar> 6* No sign of her.
<Marcus`> I've lost her scent. I think she shifted shape...
* Chad`Winters suddenly turns his head towards something and begins moving.
* Marcus` pauses and glances around quickly before moving after Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* As Dias runs along, he would find a half-naked woman in need of help - she sprained her ankle.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias skids to a stop and helps the woman stand up.
* Marcus` eyes DIas. "Are you kidding me!?"
<DeathStar> 6* The thanks him and asks him to carry her to her place
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'd love too....but I can't. I gotta go save someone.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks sad.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know! I'm so sorry! 6He gives her his trademark smile and runs off again, following the scent
* Marcus` just moves after Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* They are now on the second floor of a building from which they were shot at.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to pick p on the other side in another building
* Chad`Winters motions to Marcus and he dashes towards the edge of the building, he leaps off and onto the other one, landing in a roll
<Marcus`> Oh sweet. *he breaks into a run and jumps over to the next building*
* Marcus` soars through the air, his dusty brown trenchcoat flaps lightly in the wind. He lands beside Dias and then straitens up.
<DeathStar> 6* The scent continues!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves across the room top, leaping again as he follows
* Marcus` moves with Dias, caught onto the scent himself.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps across another building top.
<DeathStar> 6* they approach a courtyard
* Marcus` speeds up slightly, not enjoying Billy out there alone with an odd animal attacking them.
* Chad`Winters eyes the courtyard and slides to a stop along the buidling edge.
<DeathStar> 6* They can see Billy being circled by two people.
<DeathStar> 6* And some weird gravity shit going on
* Marcus` slides to a stop, pointing. "Leave her alone!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well...6He rests his leg on the edge. 1"Guess this is where we play heroes.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy tries to jump as 12 year old girl with a scythe rushes her.
* Lilith` 's ears twitch, glancing upward at the two. She holds a two-pronged blade held together by rings, holding her hand up and seeming to focus energy into a black sphere mid-way up the building walls in the courtyard, increasing its size and potency.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans forward, eyeing the giant black sphere. 1"Well doesn't that just beat all shit."
<Ariel> 6* The girl matches Billy's jump, seems to do something, then swings the scythe at Billy's chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy fires a dark beam at the girl, this time making it strong enough to hit her. "I'll never let you kill them."
* Lilith` can't hit them directly, but increased the gravity on purpose, loading a ball bearing into the ring chamber of the sword. She fires it along the backside of the black sphere, the gravity well arcing it toward the rooftop.
* Marcus` glances at Dias, then looks toward the two. "You'd best leave her alone!" he pulls out his pistol and aims at the two. "Or you'll regret it."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy isk nocked suddenly, her beam going off.
<DeathStar> 6* And is then stabbed through the chest with a scythe
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pauses, glancing down at her tiny body with a huge weapon in it. Blood pours out
<Marcus`> BILLY!!!!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> BILLY! 6He growls then suddenly leaps off the edge of the buidling, freefalling.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6Looks up at the girl. "Y--You don't wanna do this..?'
* Lilith` arcs the ball bearing into the roof's edge, spraying rock at Marcus from the steel ball's impact point.
* Lilith` otherwise allows her gravity well to actually pull Dias right toward Billy. She sighs.
<Ariel> 6* The girl whispers something, then leans down. She seems to reach into Billy's chest, and starts to pull something out of her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands, or doesn't and is sent flying towards Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy cries out in pain.
<Lilith`> "Ojousama... These are the two."
<Chad`Winters> Dias slams into Billy, knocking her away.
* Marcus` grabs his chest and released a painful scream, his form grows and contorts and is instantly running down the side of the buildiung, leaving large claw marks as he goes.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy flops away in a bloody mess.
* Lilith` calls the well away, to allow Dias and Billy to fall normally from whatever height, evacuating her position as a precaution, her face contorting as if something smells, her red eyed gaze toward Marcus.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the ground, rolling along it
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lands on her stomach
* Marcus` comes speeding in for Lilith on all fours, his form releases a large growl as he lashes his claws out at it.
* Lilith` is in a human form at this point, holding the strange sword, body still covered in runes, light azure hair and red eyes, wearing mainly leather with a metal collar and several bracers with ball bearings for decorations?
<Ariel> 6* The girl pulls away, a soul resting within her bloodied grasp. She let's the scythe disintergrate into darkness.
<Lilith`> "The strongest point in a wolf is teamwork and strategy. What use is a wolf with neither?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly stands up, eyeing the girl with Billy's soul. 1"GIVE THAT BACK!"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits up.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I think I'm dying..
* Lilith` presses her palm to the ground and forms a well between Dias and Marcus intent on letting their own bodies battle one another.
<Ariel> 6* The girl looks at Dias, "...no..." 6And then she absorbs the soul into her body.
<Lilith`> "Ojousama, we have our first objective. We should save the rest for another opportune time."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins getting dragged towards Marcus, he eyes the well than Lilith. 1"If that's the way you want it..." 6He suddenly let's out a roar, his body shifting
* Marcus` slams his claws into the ground and remains where he is, dark eyes glaring at Lilith.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias body begins shifting, black begins to swirl around his skin, covering a 1/3 of his body. He suddenly opens his palm, a small orb of Dark Matter appearing. He then hurls it along the gravity well's edge, sending it arcing towards Lilith
<Lilith`> "If you care for your own 'ojousama' so much, then would it not be prudent to have her looked at rather than growl at me, lost cub?"
<Ariel> 6* The girl holds up one hand, and creates a distortion in front of the dark matter. It vanishes for a second, then rebounds back at Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* The dark matter, does not vanish.
<DeathStar> 6* It heads it's course, somehow defying the laws of physics.
<Lilith`> "Ojousama, to the right, please."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly forms another one and hurls it through the gravity well, arcing it up towards the girl
* Marcus` tenses up then dashes around the edge of the well, using it to gain speed toward the scythe wielding girl. "GIVE THAT BACK!" His loud, hoarse yell thunders out.
* Marcus` seems to almost be upon the girl, before jumping, using himself as a distraction from the dark matter ball.
<Ariel> 6* The girl looks surprised. She creates a distortion infront of Marcus, moving HIM in front of the second shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl is hit by the first shot. It's tears through her defenses rather easily.
* Lilith` moves quickly to her left, to avoid the matter the old fashioned way.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You have two choices, give us back that soul and we let you go, or we kick your asses and take billy's soul back.
<DeathStar> 6 Marcus is nailed by the second one.
* Marcus` howls in pain, beaing thrown back slightly, sliding across the ground.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't..h.av a soul...
<Ariel> Girl> "...Lilith. We're leaving now..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy tries to stand, wobbily.
<Chad`Winters> ...Than what the hell did they....
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Lilith` is rather frayed. Despite her talents and usefulness, she has not the resiliancy of anything more than normal.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Rip-Ripple's soul..
* Lilith` bleeds profusely down her side, the face, arm, ribs and leg alike, drenched in blood. Her throaty growl is only accentuated by the gurgling of blood in her mouth.
<Ariel> 6* The girl creates a portal in front of Lilith.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Billy. 1"WHAT?!" 6He clenches hisf ists forming two more Dark Matter balls. He hurls them in criss crossing arcs at the girl
* Lilith` is not prone to emotional outbreaks, but being mostly animal to begin with, has a savage need for an eye for an eye... and instead of focusing on the two themselves, glances at the buildings.
<Chad`Winters> Marcus, get the jewel wearing one.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Lilith` looks toward the ground and smashes her tattered and bloody hand into it, spraying more of it across the grass, a well with most of her energy poured into it, the buildings shaking. She'll bring the very four buildings down on the two in revenge, then steps through the ripple provided.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy falls back ont othe ground.
* Marcus` is up on his feet, his red eyes slide to Dias then he dashes in from behind Lilith.
<Ariel> 6* The girl lets the ripple disappear after Lilith steps through. She creates a second behind her, and steps through it just at the dark mater converges on her.
* Chad`Winters darts over towards Billy and grabs her. He kicks off the destroyed ground and begins bouncing around.
<DeathStar> 6* The buildings begin to fall
* Marcus` redirects his attention to Billy, moving toward her, despite gravity working against him.
<DeathStar> 6* They land on the two
<DeathStar> *moves you two into #Taw*
* Lilith` is now known as Kit
Session Close: Tue Sep 11 22:06:16 2007

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.9.10
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Today, is the fateful day of their planned attack.
* Lilith` (...pokes Ariel.)
* Ariel sits quietly at a cafe down the street with her dog. Just a young girl happily enjoying a milkshake... well, the happy is kinda iffy, but she's trying. She idly wonders if Lilith is allergic to chocolate, as she eyes the menu.
<Ariel> (Err... damn)
<Ariel> * Raquel sits quietly at a cafe down the street with her dog. Just a young girl happily enjoying a milkshake... well, the happy is kinda iffy, but she's trying. She idly wonders if Lilith is allergic to chocolate, as she eyes the menu.
* Lilith` stares at the counters in the cafe, unable to help that her eyes are a bit wider than normal. The smell of coffee and various forms of sugary caffeine is enough to make her eyes water.
<Ariel> * Raquel decides to get a couple donught. One for her, and one for her pooch. She'd get her a drink, but... that might stand out a little odd.
<Ariel> * Raquel glances down the street, as she sips her drink. "...we need some bait..."
* Lilith` yawns widely and lies beside the table. She's lucky they let dogs within in the first place. <Are we eating breakfast or stinging the location, ojousama?"
<Ariel> * Raquel gives Lilith her donut, <...well... a little of both... if we see an opertunity...> She pauses, taking a bite out of her food. <...we need to draw her away from them...>
<Lilith`> <I will deal with them all. I do not want ojousama to fight.>
<Ariel> * Raquel shakes her head. < No Lilith... you can't deal with all three. > She ponders the situation
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be a mild commotion down the street as the kid tortures the two
<Ariel> * Raquel pauses, <... do you think you could get her aside?>
<Lilith`> <Possibly. But I would still prefer to deal with them all..."
<Lilith`> <Ojousama must not be harmed.>
<Ariel> * Raquel smiles. <I'll let you fight her for me, while the others are... busy. Then I'll finish it.>
<Lilith`> <Busy, ojousama?>
<Ariel> * Raquel nods. <...they shouldn't be hard to distract...>
<Ariel> * Raquel scrtiches Lilith behind the ear, <...you can do that for me, right...?>
* Lilith` is silent, then nods. <The rest food on the table... Smear it on my mouth.>
<Ariel> * Raquel pauses, <...you think that'll get the girl aside?>
<Lilith`> <Having listened to them, it seems plausible enough. She is... eccentric for these sorts of things.>
<Ariel> * Raquel nods, and does as directed. <...have fun.>
<Ariel> * Raquel them finishes her food, wipes her mouth, and turns her attention towards a fire hydrant down the street.
* Lilith` shakes her head. <This is not entertainment.>
* Lilith` heads out of the cafe, her mouth covered in ketchup, for obvious comical applications.
* Ariel mutters about how tough hydrants are these days.
<Ariel> NRP: ..grr
<Ariel> * Raquel mutters about how tough hydrants are these days.
<DeathStar> 6* Water attacks the cafe.
<Ariel> * Raquel sips her drink.
<Ariel> * Raquel psionically trips Marcus as he runs, still sipping her drink.
<Ariel> NRP: Dammit! The plan was foolproof, but not idiot proof!
<Ariel> * Raquel puts her drink down and gets up. She psionically holds back the water a moment, but will let go after a couple seconds when it has pressure, or when Dias looks into it
<Ariel> * Raquel eyes the mayhem, trying to think of how to salvage this
<Ariel> Raquel> < ...she's not following. >
<DeathStar> 6* The girl in the black dress turns her eyes on Raquel
<Lilith`> <One moment, ojousama.>
<Lilith`> <I will impart one warning.>
<Ariel> * Raquel pauses.
* Lilith` dislikes the fact that Billy has eyed her mistress. From the shadows of the alleyway, she lines up what she referred to as her 'inukami' focuses on small steel ball somehow levitating dead center within the blade's hollow.
<Lilith`> <Do not move.>
<DeathStar> 6* The girl seems to start smiling.
* Lilith` focuses again as the water stops, sequentially charging each of the rings within the sword's hollow, propelling the ball bearing at velocities higher than a typical firearm without the explosion to warn someone about a shot. She's no sniper, but she had plenty of time to aim for an arm.
* Lilith` slides the blade away into a gravity well and shifts forms back, tilting her back and howling loudly. That should note.
* Lilith` turns her head and gallops down the sidewalk further. <That should get her pride.>
<DeathStar> 6* Billy aims right at the girl with her hand
* Lilith` flicks an ear, frowning, then leaps into the street, and crosses paths.
<Ariel> * Raquel slips into the crowd, and heads through one of the restaurnts
<Ariel> * Raquel gives Lilith directions to meet her at a 'courtyard' they scoped out earlier.
<Lilith`> <Understood, ojousama.>
* Lilith` stops at another venture, quickly running up some stairs to a quiet second floor with a window and venture toward Billy and Marcus, and a window opposite she can escape. She pulls the same stunt, but aims for Marcus' leg.
* Lilith` fires from the window for Marcus' leg and immediately shifts back, going for the opposite window and leaping... through it with no concern. Then heads for the acclaimed courtyard.
<Lilith`> <Hrmph, I should have aimed for something combustible to do debris damage.>
<Ariel> * Raquel waits at an alcove, out of sight at the far end of the courtyard. She has her eyes closed, concentrating.
<Ariel> NRP: * Raquel notes to kill Marcus painfully for calling Lilith ugly
* Lilith` reunites in the courtyard in the open.
* Lilith` plays the bait.
<Lilith`> <I will know if the small one approaches. She reeks of blood now.>
<Lilith`> <I will know if the other two arrive as well. They just reek.>
<Ariel> * Raquel nods and waits, doing her best to hide her presence.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a sword swings at Lilith's back. With no blood to warn her.
* Lilith` feels a quiver of air, and the sword touching her fur, moving quickly, but still taking a nasty slice.
* Lilith` spins, growling loudly, wincing.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stumbles, her small body having trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy straightens up
* Lilith` closes her eyes, snapping them open, becoming her humanoid self. Though she pants this time, a long gash through her back.
<Ariel> * Raquel stays in hiding, masking her prensence
<DeathStar> <Billy> Heeey, Bitch!
<Lilith`> "...Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't like people who attack me. 6She swings the sword back, stumbling.
<Lilith`> "You are indeed... not normal."
* Lilith` holds her hand up, forming a dark sphere behind Billy, near the sword. Her pours her thoughts into, maturing the sphere into a dark, glowing gravity well.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares.
<Lilith`> "You seem to have trouble carrying that right now..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lets it go. "Whatever."
* Lilith` holds up one of her ball bearings, staring intently at Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy cups her hands together behind her, swaying side to side.
* Lilith` focuses on Billy's own sword, using it as a focal point if it has magnetic properties, to "unite" with the bearing.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves her hand and the sword vanishes
<DeathStar> <Billy> Now whatcha gonna do?
* Lilith` sets it back against her wrist bracers.
* Lilith` holds her hands out, forming another well and pulls her sword out of it, letting it clang against the ground.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oooooooh.
<Lilith`> "You have something ojousama wants."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Do I?
* Ariel steps forward, swining at Billy's back with the scythe. "...yes..."
<Ariel> NRP: ARG!
<Ariel> * Raquel steps forward, swining at Billy's back with the scythe. "...yes..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leaps up.
<DeathStar> 6* She lands facing the two.
* Lilith` narrows her eyes slightly. "...She is not affected by the increased gravity as much as I might have expected."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Golly, I'm not?
<Lilith`> "She is dangerous, ojousama, you should let me handle this."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sways from side to side, smiling.
<Ariel> * Raquel eyes the younger black dressed girl. "...she's one of the soul less..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hey!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks hurt.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You pre-pubescent little twirp! Go play with your training bra.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pulls out a jewel and crushes it.
<Ariel> * Raquel ...'s at the pitiful insult.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up her hand at Raquel. "Go away."
* Lilith` glances upward, focusing on a spot central of the courtyard and forms another well, letting it drain the energy out of the other one. She makes it a center of gravity for the courtyard... Anyone who would barely walk would float away without any bearing for the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grinds her teeth
<Lilith`> "I do not care what you are or are not. I merely want what ojousama wants."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Y-You still haven't told me wh-what that is.
<Lilith`> "The soul of ojousama's brother."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Huh?
<Ariel> * Raquel throws the scythe at Billy
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks baffled, then fires her hand beam at the scythe
<Ariel> * Raquel uses telekinesis to guide it around the beam
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pauses, then uses her arm to take the hit
<Lilith`> "If possible... Could you... give it to ojousama?"
<Ariel> * Raquel summons it back, not able to do much at this distance.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy seems enraged right now, her arm bleeding.
<Lilith`> "All we want is the soul of the one called Ripple-- And the lives of the two that broke it from his body."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grabs her bloodied arm. She actually bleeds red.
<DeathStar> <Billy> .. ..... ....
<Ariel> * Raquel decides to be polite enough to let Billy answer.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy glances up, her eyes angry. "No way am I giving you their lives."
* Lilith` sighs softly...
<Ariel> * Raquel nods Lilith, and begins to circle around Billy. "...then you've made your choice..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> ....
<Lilith`> "Ojousama..."
<Ariel> * Raquel darts at Billy with the scythe.
<DeathStar> NRP: into the other room
<Ariel> * Raquel uses a tiny burst of telekinesis to try to knock Billy off guard, and then swings
<Ariel> Raquel> *whispers* "....I have no qualms with you now... I have what is mine again..."
* Lilith` (holes up, bandaged up like Zafira. >_>)
<DeathStar> 6* They appear at a safe distance
<Ariel> * Raquel quickly hurries over to Lilith and checks her wounds. Her foolishness let her partner get hurt.
* Lilith` (names the two Goku and Vegeta.)
* Lilith` doesn't look so good! She might have pretty capable offensive capability, but her only defense is her calmness and experience in battle. Against something like COUGHDARK MATTER!?COUGH she's ...almost quite literally ripped apart on her left side.
<Ariel> * Raquel hurries to do her best to bandage up the wounds. She sniffles, trying not to cry.
<Lilith`> "...Ojousama?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I...I'm sorry... Lilith..."
<Lilith`> "It is fine... you... succeeded."
<Ariel> * Raquel hugs Lilith, "...no it's not... your hurt... I..."
<Lilith`> "...I will be fine. I am sorry... I failed. They appear to have escaped the rubble unharmed."
* Lilith` narrows her eye, the semi-damaged and hemorraged one wincing a bit.
<Lilith`> "...They are monsters."
<Ariel> * Raquel nods... "...they killed Ripple... they'd have to be..."
* Lilith` shakes her head.
<Lilith`> "I ...doubt this is what defeated ...ojousama's brother... They are... worse than ever."
* Lilith` winces and frowns. "..Should I... try at least once more?"
<Lilith`> "I... could manage one more shot with ojousama's assistance."
<Ariel> * Raquel shakes her head. "We... we can get them later..."
<Ariel> * Raquel smiles, something sparkling in the back of her eyes, "...I have big brother now... We can beat them any time. The three of us."
* Lilith` closes her eyes, sighing through gritted teeth. Any sort of bandages she's in are likely already soaked and leaking. "...As... ojousama wishes..."
<Ariel> * Raquel snaps back to her normal demeanure, "...you have to survive Lilith... you have to..."
<Lilith`> "...As ojousama commands... ..."

<DeathStar> 6* The TAW LOGO SPINS
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors are currently looking over Billy at the hospital.
* Vyssa waits, looking a little worried
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands on a chair as he rests his elbows on Marcus' head. 1"Think the runt'll be ok?
* Marcus` just sits there, he hasn't said much. "...she'll be fine."
<Ariel> Em> *muttering* "You owe me a new camera..."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope smokes his cig. Despite the location.
<Marcus`> *Theron is oddly enough back in the waiting room. He sits there reading a finance magazine.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hands Em a wallet
<Ariel> Setsuna> *waiting outside emergancy for news on Billy*
<Vyssa> "That money wouldn't be stolen, would it?"
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor steps out after a bit, glancing at Setsuna. "Are you the mother?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...She's got two mommies.
<Marcus`> Is she ok? She gonna be ok? *he is up and in front of the doctor*
<DeathStar> <Doctor> The child is Cassandra and Setsun--WHA?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias bowls over from Marcus standing up, he crashes behind his seat
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sighs*
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Well, she's...different from most...children...
<Cassandra_> Mmmm-hmmm...
<Marcus`> Yeah yeah. Is she alive!?
<DeathStar> <Doctor> But, after insisting we let her crush a jewel, she got better.
<Vyssa> "I noticed as much."
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Frankly, I'm flabbergausted.
<Vyssa> "Interesting way to recover."
* Marcus` seems to breath a sigh of relief, stepping back some from the doctor.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...better as in, not as bad. Or better as in good?"
<DeathStar> <Doctor> The wound has healed, but she is weak. I recommend bed rest for the week.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> She lost a lot of blood.
<Ariel> Em> *idly orders a better camera online with the money from the wallet*
<DeathStar> 6* Pope points out one.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "We'll make sure she stays in bed."
<Ariel> Em> "Ooh... infrared and laser targeting..."
<Chad`Winters> 6It's Pope's wallet.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Well, good. Then you can see her. 6He opens the door and the bed is empty. The window carved open in a child size hole.
* Cassandra_ nods.
<Cassandra_> Figures...
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sighs*
<Vyssa> "She escaped already?"
* Vyssa sighs
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Oh my. She could pass out from the lack of blood.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor looks baffled.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pops up and glances around. 1"Hah, if that was the case, all woman would pass out once a month."
* Marcus` grabs his face and then moves out, "Come'on Dias. We have to find her."
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up from reading his magazine. "Shall I pursue the child?"
<Vyssa> "Yes."
<Cassandra_> Team, let's find her...now!
<DeathStar> <Pope> Wait, I thought we hunted terrorists.
* Vyssa heads out
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias goes to move than stops, his datapad beeping again. He eyes it the sighs, he answers it. 1"Yeah? I'm at the hospital...No I'm not hurt, Billy is...No I didn't hurt her!"
<Vyssa> "We hunt what we have to find."
* Lilith` is now known as Kit
<Ariel> Em> "Should I start collecting milk cartons?"
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once and is gone.
<Cassandra_> Move out!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look, it's fine, she just tripped....Yes, I'll still be home at 11...Look everyone's leaving, I need to go!
<DeathStar> 6* Pope feels for his wallet.
* Marcus` glances back at Dias, then just grabs him by the collar, dragging him along.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *tries to call Billy*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is dragged along as he's forced to talk to someone on his datapad.
* Vyssa searches the area
<DeathStar> 6* A phone ringing can be heard nearby
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly mutter's out something that sounds like I love you then puts his datapad away.
* Marcus` moves over to pick it up. "Yeah?"
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus can hear Setsuna's voice.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......" *click*
<DeathStar> 6* Next to the phone is Billy, sleeping
* Marcus` shakes his head and then glances down to find Billy. He kneels down and gently lifts her up. "We need to get her back to my place so she can rest."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Billy. 1"Found her."
<DeathStar> 6* She actually looks cute and innocent in her sleep, oddly
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you can have your way with that underage girl?! 6He points at him accusingly
<Marcus`> *Cass gets a message on her datapad from Theron. 'Marcus and Dias have found her.'
<Marcus`> Not in the mood. *he notes shortly, standing and moving off down the street*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pouts and moves after Marcus, his hands sliding in his pocket.
<DeathStar> 6* After the two have left with the leader's child, the rest are left with nothing to find
<Cassandra_> She's been located. Alright, back to HQ.
<DeathStar> 6* The TAW logo spins
<DeathStar> 6* Pope sits around the HQ, smoking a cig
<DeathStar> <Pope> So you're fine with that man having the kid?
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<Marcus`> *Theron has his legs propped up on a crate, quietly eating some chips.
<Vyssa> "I'd rather Marcus take care of her than Dias."
<DeathStar> <Pope> DOn't they live together?
<Vyssa> "... scary."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope goes to say something when a report comes in
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...I'm going to pick her up on the way home."
<Vyssa> "Good idea. A VERY good idea."
* Vyssa looks to the report
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up, crumbs on the edge of his mouth. "What does the report say?"
<DeathStar> 6* A report of something attacking men comes in.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing more.
<DeathStar> 6* Except the location.
<Vyssa> "A something. How precise."
<Cassandra_> Alright, we're going back out again.
<Vyssa> "Maybe it's connected."
* Vyssa prepares to leave once more
<DeathStar> <Pope> Hmmm. I wonder what this could be. Another werwolf?
* Marcus` stands and dusts his mouth off.
<Marcus`> NRP: Theron*
<DeathStar> 6* Pope checks his gun.
<DeathStar> 6* He then moves out to their ride - a van, oddly enough
<Ariel> Em> *uploads the picture of Dias and Marcus from the buffer in her printer, to the computer, and saves it on a couple secure servers. Muttering about the camera* "Werewolves dn't really hunt in packs, oddly enough. Not much of city dwellers anyways."
<Vyssa> "We'll need to start carrying silver bullets."
<Marcus`> *Theron slides into the backseat.
* Vyssa climbs into the van
<Ariel> Em> "Got them on order." *heads to the van*
<Vyssa> "Good work."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope sits in the back.
* Cassandra_ climbs in.
<DeathStar> 6* Who's driving?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks at Pope sitting next to her*
<DeathStar> 6* Pope eyes Setsuna, then offers a cig.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *shakes her head*
<DeathStar> 6* Pope smokes it. It smells a bit odd for a cig.
<Vyssa> "What is that, anyway?"
<Marcus`> *Theron makes a face in the back.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Are we going or not? *he says at the fact there is no driver*
<Vyssa> "... I'm not used to earth vehicles yet.."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *climbs forward and claims shotgun. The back is too crowded*
<Cassandra_> We need to define roles better. *climbs into the driver side and starts them up*
<DeathStar> 6* The van comes to life
* Cassandra_ drives.
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, they arrive at the location of the attacks. Several men are shaking in fear, holding their bodies. Tiny scratches can be seen on their faces, and what appears to be hiccies
<Vyssa> "... it doesn't seem like werewolves."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope studies the event, smoking.
<Ariel> Em> "...maybe... mini werewolves?"
<Ariel> Em> "Very affectionate ones?"
<Cassandra_> Ever seen Dracula?
<Vyssa> "Werepuppies."
<Marcus`> <Theron> This is interesting. It seems they have small bruises on their bodies.
<DeathStar> <Pope> So Dracula ... gives hiccies?
<Vyssa> "And tiny scratches?"
<Cassandra_> Rats?
<DeathStar> <Pope> Killer rats...
<Ariel> Em> "Affectionate killer vampire wererats?"
<Vyssa> "... that's worrying."
<Cassandra_> Come on... *movs forward*
<DeathStar> 6* The men seem traumatized
<DeathStar> 6* Pope notices a sewer lid that's not closed properly.
* Vyssa glances over. "Is that normal?"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope walks over, then is suddenly attacked in the face by something small and furry. He flails.
<Vyssa> "It's one of the... things!"
* Vyssa rushes over
<Marcus`> *Theron looks over the men slowly, jerking up and sliding his hands to his weapons as pope is attacked.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope thrashes around.
* Cassandra_ moves over then grabs the furry thing, pulling!
<Ariel> Em> *attempts to mindfry the fmall furry thing... assuming it has a mind*
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra pulls off a cat. It eyes her.
<DeathStar> <Cat> Mew.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature has no mind. Just a sex drive
* Vyssa examines the cat
<DeathStar> 6* Vyssa would notice wings.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope pants. "IT PUT IT'S BLOODY TONGUE DOWN MY THROAT"
<Cassandra_> ...what the?
<Vyssa> "... what horror is this...?"
<Marcus`> *Theron peers over Pope's shoudler. "It appears the little feline wanted to make out with Mr. Pope."
<Ariel> Em> *twitches*
<DeathStar> 6* The cat goes straight for Cassandra's breast.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "HEY!"
<Cassandra_> ... ... ...what the hell is this thing?!
<Vyssa> "They seem to be bisexual."
<Vyssa> "... I have no idea..."
<DeathStar> 6* The cat slurps at her breast. Ignoring Setsuna.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Ho ho, this is a humerous kitty.
<Cassandra_> ...hell...alright...pull out...this is freaking embarassing...
<DeathStar> 6* Pope aims his gun. "Sorry, CAp'n, but I have to take the shot."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *shoots the cat*
<DeathStar> 6* It falls over, dead.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...sorry Pope. Reflex."
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... is it dead?
<Vyssa> "... I hope so..."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope makes a note to smoke even more now
<Marcus`> *Theron seems quiet...shocked. "Did...you...kill it?"
<Vyssa> "Yes."
<DeathStar> 6* The cute cat is fried. And black.
<Ariel> Em> *takes a picture for the scrap book*
<Cassandra_> ... ... ...you could have fried me....
<Marcus`> <Theron> It was just a horny little kitty...no point in killing it...
<Vyssa> "You don't think that... now that centerpoint is gone... reality is breaking down, do you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mew mew mew mew
<DeathStar> 6* It comes from the sewers
<Vyssa> "Very horny, apparently."
<Cassandra_> ...another?
<DeathStar> 6* Pope turns slowly, aiming his guns.
<DeathStar> <Pope> It's an invasion.
<Ariel> Em> *fits the cover back on*
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances at the sewer, he slides over to close the lid.
<DeathStar> 6* The mewing ceases.
* Vyssa looks worried.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope pulls out a tracker like in Aliens. He eyes the blips on it.
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...do we have to go down there?
<Vyssa> "At a guess, yes."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Do they spawn in sewers?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> I thought you said they were just nice pussies.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a giant furry cat with wings erupts from the ground. It's bigger than a tank
<Ariel> Em> "Who said that?!"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...fuck."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope stares
<DeathStar> 6* It eyes Cassandra's breasts.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Nice or not....I-*he is knocked back from the erupting furry cat*
<Cassandra_> WHAT THE?!
<DeathStar> 6* Pope is suddenly in the van, in the driver's seat.
* Vyssa points her gun at it, backing away quickly
<DeathStar> 6* Pope honks impatiently.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *aims a gun at it's face*
<Ariel> Em> *backs towards the car, taking a few pictures
<DeathStar> 6* The catgon mews.
<Vyssa> "... can I suggest we evacuate? Right NOW?!"
* Vyssa backs towards the car
<DeathStar> 6* IT swipes at Setsuna.
<Cassandra_> Setsuna...strategic retreat....
<Ariel> Setsuna> *is send flying back towards the van by... a giant winged kitten*
<Marcus`> *Theron is suddenly in the van. "...I do not think they are so nice anymore."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope waits for her to land on the van's hood, then begins to drive away.
<Cassandra_> Is it following?!
* Vyssa watches behind, gun readied
<DeathStar> 6* Yes. It flies after them.
<Vyssa> "It's coming for us!"
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna slides around on the hood.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *holds on tight, firing back at the kitten*
<DeathStar> 6* The kitten roars in pain as it chases
<Marcus`> <Theron> I suggest some more shooting to go along with Setsuna's.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Ideas, sir?
<Cassandra_> I think killing the kitten pissed it off. *secures a line and then swings up on top of the van*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Get us the hell out of hereeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope takes a quick right
<Marcus`> <Theron> I think it wants to perform sexual acts with us all.
<DeathStar> 6* The kitten flies around the corner
<Vyssa> "I know that!"
<DeathStar> <Pope> Bloody hell. That's a big pussy.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *holds onto the roofrack, almost falling off*
<DeathStar> 6* The kitten flies faster, trying to grab Setsuna
* Cassandra_ climbs on to the roof of the van and fires up at the Catgon!
<DeathStar> 6* The catgon is knocked back.
<Vyssa> "FASTER! Before it gets back!"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope hits the gas pedal down as fast as he can. He drives on the wrong side of the street.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *lobs a grenade at the catgon, feet braced against the side of the van
<DeathStar> 6* The catgon is hit in the face. It cries out in pain
<DeathStar> 6* It flies forward, opening it's mouth wide.
<DeathStar> 6* It wiggles it's tongue around seductively.
* Cassandra_ then reaches under the barrel of her assault rifle and fires a shell down its mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* The cat swallows the shell.
<DeathStar> 6* Then implodes, splattering the street in buildings in guts and blood
<Cassandra_> Its down!
<Ariel> Setsuna> *ducks the guts*
<DeathStar> 6* Pope slows down.
<Marcus`> *Theron shakes his head. "And all over the city."
* Vyssa takes deep breaths. "That... was scary... scarier than centerpoint, somehow."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Em. *smokes his cig* I think I like this job.
<DeathStar> 6* The catgons are dead again.
<Ariel> Em> "...Pope, you're a sadist."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Aye, luv.
<Vyssa> "If the next thing has tentacles..."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope smiles.
<Marcus`> <Theron> We'll let you handle it Vyssa.
<Vyssa> "No you won't."
<DeathStar> 6* Civilians come out to gawk at the bloody sight
<Cassandra_> Back to HQ...I need a bath...
Session Close: Tue Sep 11 22:52:01 2007

Session Start: Tue Sep 11 22:08:31 2007
Session Ident: #taw13morons1
* Now talking in #taw13morons1
* Marcus` has joined #taw13morons1
<Marcus`> So who's the lucky lady? *he asks, making idle conversation as they walk along*
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* They walk down the street with a sleeping kid in a hospital gown
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have no idea what you're talking about.
* Terra has joined #taw13morons1
<Marcus`> You're a horrible liar.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hah, I'm the best liar. 6He nods proudly as he walks alongside Marcus and Billy. 1"What I want to know, is what kind of dick keeps an injured child away from their parents.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy snuffles Marcus in her sleep.
<Marcus`> If Billy wanted to be with them she would've stayed at the hospital.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm sure the doctor just creeped her out...Speaking of creepy acts...I saw you hugging my Warp Blade last night again.
<Marcus`> I told you I couldn't fully fight to my abilities if I don't have both blades. You, on the other hand, don't use weapons.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> HAH! Last I checked, werewolves don't use weapons. Idiot.
<Marcus`> I try to avoid doing that, moron.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Plus you can barely hold up one!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses then blinks at Billy. 1"I didn't know she wore a thong.
<Marcus`> You're a moron. I can hold both up quiet nicely. They're short blades, designed for dual use. Hell, I could hold them before I met you. *he pauses and glances down then at Dias.* Probably trying to impress me, or something.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I didn't know they made thongs for 5 year olds...
<Marcus`> She prolly made it. *he says lightly* So anyway, who's the lucky lady?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'd say Cass, I mean Set's is hot.
<Marcus`> ...You're retarded.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No I'm not. 6He stops at a crosswalk.
* Marcus` pauses and glances both ways before crossing the street. "Well. You have your moments."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I wasn't like that until I started letting you hang out with me...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy opens her eyes.
<Marcus`> Now I know you're full of it. *he sniffs the air once, glancing back down at Billy* Mornin.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's the afternoon, idiot.
* Marcus` ignores Dias, eyeing Billy. "What'd you run off for?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> ...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> To fight those two, duh!
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm evil. 6She notes, as if that were answer enough
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Speaking of which, who the hell were those two? And what the hell? I mean those were some wicked powers.
* Marcus` nods once to Dias. "I couldn't really even touch em. Do you know them, Billy?" he glances at her.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... *refuses to answer*
<Marcus`> I'm going to take that as a yes. *he says with a slight nod* And are they Dark Ones too?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy snorts.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I never saw them before and they ain't Dark Ones. Now lemme go. 6She tries to hop down
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well, they bleed, so they'll definetly remember not to fuck with us again.
* Marcus` shakes his head. "No. The doctor said you need to rest up. You're still a bit weak from that fight."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's not weak.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hops down?
* Marcus` keeps her in his arms, so no she doesn't.
<Marcus`> I don't mean in terms of power.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy bites his arm.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look Billy, what can you tell us about these things...6He crosses his arms, his tone more serious for once.
* Marcus` flinces and eyes Billy. "Billy stop. This is serious."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks mad.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't know them!
<Marcus`> Alright. You don't know them. Still, you need to take it easy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> They called your soul...a oujisima or somethign?
<DeathStar> <Billy> *snorts* Lemme go. I'll deal with it
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh no, Billy. We're going to help.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... .... 6She sighs.
<Marcus`> I think that was their term for...lover or something.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fine, I'll just kill you both in order to save you
<DeathStar> 6* Billy feels around her gown for her jewels
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Save us? Wait a minute.
* Marcus` just shakes his head. "We don't need savin."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pouts again. "Idiots..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like hell, I'll face any challenge head on. 6He clenches his fist tightly. "That's the creed I took when I decided to be a super hero.
<Marcus`> Hmph. Don't worry, we'll be fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy just rolls over in Marcus' arms, refusing to look at either of them
<Marcus`> Besides Billy. The only way to grow stronger is to fight against impossible odds.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias punches his fist into his open palm. 1"Eh, I just like a good fight."
<Marcus`> My face has had plenty of bruises to back that up.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Usually from my fist.
<Marcus`> Usually from the fights you pick. Like your fist could ever bruise me.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wanna test that theory? 6He holds his fist out at Marcus
<Marcus`> Wanna wait till I get back to the apartment so I can put Billy to bed?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You shouldn't tease Billy like that.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy doesn't respond, oddly enough
<Marcus`> Are you mad at me Billy? *he tilts his head, glancing down at her*
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... *mumbles something*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's just proud of us!
<Marcus`> I dunno. She mumbled something. What was that?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is quiet.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just gives Billy a hug. 1"It's alright Billy. We'll save you."
* Marcus` eyes DIas hugging him, since he is holding Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy winces.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're both idiots...*she mumbles*
<Marcus`> We know. *he just notes, glancing around to see if they are almost home*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But we're the awesomest idiots around.
<Marcus`> Since awesomest clearly means coolest.
<DeathStar> 6* They are home.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I do have a GED.
* Marcus` moves inside toward their apartment. "I still can't believe you lucked out and got that female teacher. Working your retarded charm..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pscht, I just did a lot of extra curricular activities. 6He steps into the main room, which is littered with "trophies' that Dias collected over the past year of adventuring
<Marcus`> I still can't believe you stole all of these trophies from that factory...it's pretty sad honestly. *he moves over to lay Billy down on the couch*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bah, it looked good. But all these other things...Like the eye patch off of One-Eyed Johnny? Oh yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits on the couch, crossing her arms.
<DeathStar> 6* She watches the two like a hawk
<Marcus`> Oh he was easy. *he opens up a dish and pulls out a piece of candy, holding it out to Billy while he looks to Dias* The real deal was ol Hook Hand Harry.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy ignores it.
<DeathStar> 6* Or so it seems. In reality, she snuck off.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lifts up the Hook Hand. 1"He was a challenge indeed."
* Marcus` pauses and glances around. "Damnit, she snuck off again." He stands up and moves to find her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't worry, I booby trapped the liqour cabinet this time.
* Marcus` looks under the sofa."Billy? Where you hidin?"
<DeathStar> 6* No sign of her.
* Marcus` moves into his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Nope.
* Marcus` steps back out. He pauses and then moves to Dias' room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sets Hook Hand's Hook back on the shelf
<DeathStar> 6* Nadda.
* Chad`Winters moves over to Ripple's warp blade and begins dusting it off
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Marcus` steps back out into the main room and sighs. "Where the hell did she go!? I know she's not that fast." He sniffs the air.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Billy did vanish on them
<DeathStar> 6* The front door is even open
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly farts.
* Marcus` groans. "...Cass is going to kill me. I lost Billy again."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How the hell do you lose your wife?!
* Marcus` gasps and chokes. "...I hate you." he moves outside, searching for Billy again*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy, knowing Marcus' talents all too well, as hidden her trail.
* Marcus` stands outside his building, scratching his chin, then steps back inside. "Well this sucks. She actually knows how to hide her scent now."
* Marcus` grabs Dias. "What if there's someone else!?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well, it wouldn't surprise me if she found someone more responsible, I mean you cant' even pay your bills on time.
<Marcus`> You're the one who spent all your money on the starcharts for that STUPID box!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And we've had nothing but fun since@!
<Marcus`> And I told you, Mrs. Hess would probably let the bill slide if you...you know. *he nudges Dias*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Oh..Yeah, that? I can't. I've got...other engagements...
<Marcus`> ....Well she's not interested in me. Seems the old bat can smell the mutt on me. YOU should take care of her before you leave.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, no. I'll just pay her. 6He pulls out a wallet. 1"How much was it again?"
<Marcus`> 700. *he holds out his hand*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll be sure to drop it off by her on my way to Ra...Random Library....Yeah, the Random Library.
<Marcus`> Ra?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ra ra? 6He looks at Marcus oddly.
<Marcus`> ...yeah i'll see you around.
* Chad`Winters slides Marcus a 10. 1"Don't spend it all in one place." 6He steps out, shutting the door.
* Marcus` eyes the ten and pockets it, then silently shifts out to follow Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly turns around to eye Marcus.
* Marcus` eyes him. "What?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No you can't goto the library with me.
<Marcus`> Dude, i've got other places to go. You just happen to be going to the same place.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> To...the library?
<Marcus`> Yeah. I'm going in that area. So just shut up.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Great....6He mutters to himself as he starts down the stairs.
* Marcus` whistles as he walks along, nose tilted toward the wind as he walks along. "So you're going to her place, eh?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Who's place? 6He slides his hands behind his head.
<Marcus`> The girl to keep talking too.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's just your mom. 6He snorts as he walks along
<Marcus`> Yeah, she's mighty hot.
<Marcus`> Oh, and dead.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? Huh, that'd explain why she's was so easy.
<Marcus`> Horrible. *he waves his hand*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Those two we fought....
<Marcus`> Yeah? *he glances at Dias*
<DeathStar> 6* An image flashes of a 12 year old gutting Billy, and her human dog
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm somewhat excited but also bothered by their appearance.
<Marcus`> You would be. *he notes, glancing up at the rooftops*
<DeathStar> 6* Something isu p there.
<Marcus`> ...enjoy your date. *he moves off for the rooftops*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I live for the fight...what can I say? They must've came from the box we opened...
<DeathStar> 6* Dias is left talking to himself.
* Chad`Winters scratches his chin as he begins going into a philospical speech to no one about the ramifications of their past actions and how it's their resopnsibility to set it right.
<Chad`Winters> NRP : dias
<DeathStar> 6* A hobo stares.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And so that's how why it's our responsibilit...y..6He turns to see Marcus gone
<DeathStar> 6* The wind blows.
<DeathStar> 6* The hobo hands Dias a bottle of alcohol. "Ya need this mor' than me."
<Chad`Winters> 6Eyes it than the Hobo. 1"Thanks doc. 1"He takes a deep swig and tosses the Hobo 100 credits. He walks off towards Random Library.
<DeathStar> -END-

<DeathStar> 6* TAW LOGO SPINS
<DeathStar> 6* Pope sits there smoking as Cassandra bathes in the other room
* Cassandra_ showers...
<Marcus`> *Theron is oddly gone.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope points at an item in the magazine. "This looks neat."
<Ariel> Em> *looks*
<DeathStar> 6* It's a weapon that is guarenteed to kill cats.
* Vyssa takes a look too
<Vyssa> "Will it work on... devilcats... whatever they're called."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *showers, feeling dirty to just have been touched by that... thing*
<Ariel> Em> "Ooh... that looks good."
<DeathStar> 6* As the two shower, they can hear a faint mew.
<Cassandra_> ... ... ..was that...?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "... ... ..."
<DeathStar> 6* A shadow of a cat can be seen on the other side of the curtain
<Cassandra_> ... ... ...
<Ariel> Setsuna> *grabs the detachable showerhead like a gun*
<DeathStar> 6* The cat's paw reaches around the curtain, grabbing it and sliding it open slowly
* Cassandra_ narrows her eyes..
<DeathStar> 6* A cute kitten stares at them.
<DeathStar> <Kitten> Mew.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *checks for wings*
<DeathStar> 6* None.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...safe?"
<Cassandra_> ...maybe...
<DeathStar> 6* The cat rolls onto it's back, playing with the curtain
<Marcus`> *Theron seemingly comes out of no where. "Silly kitty, there you are." He pauses and glances up at Sets and Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* The kitten mews as Theron holds it
<Ariel> SEtsuna> *releases the water at Theron
<DeathStar> 6* Moments later, Theron and a wet kitten are seen running by. Pope lets out a drag of his cig
<DeathStar> <Pope> Well, that's something you don't see everyt day.
<Ariel> Em> "Theron and a wet pussy?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> Pretty much. Ooo, this looks nice.

<DeathStar> Episode One: One Year Later (Famfrit Saga 1)
<DeathStar> Time Chart: 10-587.9.10
<DeathStar> Location: Hyperspace; En Route to Famfrit System
<DeathStar> 6* The ship is a big, luxurious ship for a small group of people, paid for by Darien's somehow bottomless pockets. A cockpit, a lounge, a bedroom with three beds, and a bath area. Oh, and engineering, in case you want to blow it all up.
<DeathStar> 6* This far out, the ship is far enough from the current Tsivrixsh/Earth War, that there are no worries. And despite the galaxy becoming ever stranger, for this group, strange is just another name for Megumi
<Ariel> NRP: Only three beds?
<DeathStar> NRP: Darien's budget has limits!
<Megumi> NRP: We need more than three?
<Ariel> NRP: So is Ariel sharing, or are Megumi/Erevis teaming up again?
<DeathStar> 6* The crew compliment: 4. Megumi, Ariel, ERevis, and a 13-year-old Zephyr
* Megumi NRP: counts the number of people and still doesn't get it. Oh. Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is in the cockpit, eyeing all the buttons with a serious look. Her short brown hair barely reaches her shoulders.
* Megumi peers over Zephyr's shoulder, having changed little to none in a year appearance-wise. She's taken on the method of forming her pale white hair in bao buns before braiding it nowadays with the time spent in the japan islands.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Go away.
* Ariel sits in the cockpit as well, occasionally giving Zephyr a glance to make sure she's not misbehaving. She's, finally, taken to dressing more casually. A pair of maroon crystal earings, a blouse, and slacks. Her hair is longer, and tied back in a pony tail right now. She doesn't look a day older though.
<Megumi> "I cannot help it... It is unnatural for someone to ...pilot in so short a time."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, some of us are just plain smart. 6She says proudly, then pulls down her eyelid and sticks out her tongue
* Megumi smiles gently. "This is true."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then drops her hand, sulking a bit at Megumi not taking her bait.
* Megumi stands up and peers at Ariel. "I find it also hard to believe that mister Warren is missing."
<Megumi> "I miss our games already... There has been no word?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr perks up a bit at the name Warren.
<Ariel> "I know... he's probally got himself in something dangerous again."
<Megumi> "Mmm... I hope he is alright."
* Megumi begins pacing again. No matter how calm she's become in the last year, the fact remains that it's the first time she's had a chance to go 'home' in almost seven years.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops into a seat, watching Megumi pace back and forth, back and forth.
* Megumi pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's head pauses.
* Megumi turns and stares at Zephyr momentarily. "Um... Miss Zephyr, you did..."
<Megumi> "You did know to check the nearby charts, correct?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not dumb. 6She notes sourly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You wanted to go to Sector 03455 by 2323. 6Those are completely incorrect.
<Megumi> "Oh splendid-- ..."
* Megumi downcasts slightly. "...No that is incorrect..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Honto?
<Megumi> "You need to check the surrounding lines thoroughly, miss Zephyr..."
* Ariel glances at the real heading
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr was lying. They are correctly flying the course.
<Megumi> "Nue is bordering the Sii system which is dying."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I should. You are absolutely correct, Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods like she's being scolded.
<Megumi> "If we are to avoid serious problems we cannot go even one click toward that Sii hole..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? I guess I should pay more attention. 6She says, her voice sounding shocked. Her brown eyes widen
* Megumi closes her eyes, which closed is often more normal for her than having them open these days.
* Ariel laughs, "Okay, okay Zephyr... don't give poor Megumi a nervous break down."
* Megumi just sighs softly. She caught on.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Awwwww. 6She sounds crushed. "But Mom..."
<Ariel> "You break her, I'm not getting you a new one."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She just fixes herself again anyway.
<Megumi> "N-now now...!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi devilishly. "I think we should test her limits one day."
* Megumi sulks. "Because I can is not an excuse..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wiggles her hands, as if going to form a gun
* Ariel changes the subject, despite the teasing. "Excited to finally be back home, Megumi?"
* Megumi 's ears twitch, catching the subtle movement. She turns her back.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr spins in her seat.
<Megumi> "...Yes, miss knight."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Miss Knight. 6She giggles again.
* Megumi sighs.
* Ariel laughs a little, "Oh, come now Megumi. You've known me how long?" She really doesn't look very knightly these days.
<Megumi> "An earth year... miss Ariel."
* Megumi glances over her shoulder. "And two earth months... However..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes sword sounds
<Ariel> "However?"
<Megumi> "I think it is time miss Zephyr began learning from miss Ariel."
* Megumi sulks slightly, looking at the ground. "I fear I have no respect whatsoever."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, eyeing MEgumi. "Excuse me, Miss Kitty?"
* Megumi sighs.
<Megumi> "Where has miss Erevis disappeared to...?" Starts ambling off.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The bedrooms.
<Ariel> "Probally meditating. She usually does that during travel."
<Megumi> "Sounds... pleasant at this moment."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> H-Hey!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks a bit downcast now.
<Ariel> "I think your prey is wandering off, dear."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She can go if she wants. 6She says sullenly, turning back to the controls.
* Megumi makes her way for the sleeping room, hands before her, gazing at any viewing screens, though they likely don't account for much scenery.
* Ariel puts an arm around Zephyr, "You push her a lot, you know. She's not as young as you are."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She looks it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Besides, Warren said it was good for her. Something about "eye for an eye".
* Ariel chuckles, "Well... if anyone knows about people not being the age they look, it should be you. But... even an eye for an eye can be taken too far you know. Be careful not to hurt her. Some wounds she can't heal with that power of hers."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks comtemplative, then nods. "Alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems silent now, as if trying to remember things that evade her mind.
* Ariel smiles, "Still... you can have your fun too."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis in the sleeping area. She wears a dark hood and cloak these days over her tactical suit. Since losing her psionic powers, she's been applying herself to other things, such as getting a pilot license, and learning how to weild a green bo, that seems to vanish when she no longer needs it. Currently, she's standing up, her eyes closed, her hands held out to either side.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sighs* Everyone is too serious.
<Ariel> "You know... I never thought I'd hear that about Megumi, but I suppose it's true."
<Ariel> "But... it's not like she and Erevis don't have their reasons."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But we don't need two of 'em on the ship.
* Megumi stands quietly, watching. She hasn't a very well clue what Erevis is doing, but if it has anything to do with making that damn staff pop in and out of thin air, she's curious. She's always manifested her weapons from surrounding particles, not actually popped it out of dimensional space or something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi. 6She says, as if able to read Megumi's mind. She turns. Her green eyes peer at her. "Are we there?"
* Megumi shakes her head slowly.
<Ariel> "Well... maybe we'll be able to do something about it."
<Megumi> "Afraid not just yet... I am... Escaping."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh? 6She glances at up at Ariel. "Like what?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Zephyr doesn't mean any harm. 6She reaches up, pulling the hood back.
* Megumi smiles, then giggles quietly behind her hand. "Oh I know..."
<Megumi> "She just... That girl takes a lot out of me."
* Megumi had to giggle, since she feels that was probably said about her a while ago.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is it like seeing into an old mirror?
* Megumi nods once. "I suppose that is a way of putting it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles, and it seems natural. But it never quite reaches her green eyes, which seem a bit sad. "We all take after someone. Perhaps she merely remembers how you were once."
<Ariel> "Well... I'm not sure. But we'll think of something."
<Megumi> "Miss Zephyr...? Taking after me? ....Mm, we never knew one another at a time that it could have..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, that's vague. 6She notes wryly. "You don't have any plan at all."
* Megumi smiles weakly. "The first time we met was shortly before miss Zephyr was 'reset.'"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Zephyr might have been a baby a year ago, but she appears to remember a lot.
* Ariel scratches the back of her head, "Not a clue."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *lets out a sigh, as if she were being the adult* I think you should throw them a party.
<Ariel> "Mmm... Planetside, for something like that."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Be sure to invite a big dog, too.
<Megumi> (* Lilith sneezes.)
<Megumi> "I see what you mean..."
* Megumi looks toward the floor. "You mean to say that although she seemed like any other child, she took after me during the peaceful phase?"
<Ariel> "Big... dog?"
* Ariel shakes her head
<Ariel> "That's just..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. She learned how to fly at the same I did, by going over the materials I did.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Amusing?
<Megumi> "She is quite adept, I will admit. Maybe I should not have taught her to fight..."
<Ariel> "Cruel." *sticks her tongue out*
* Megumi sighs and sulks slightly. "Maybe some of the energy would not be there..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks her tongue out back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down on the bed.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Besides, she's like a big pet herself. I don't see why we can't get a dog.
<Ariel> "Well... for one, Megumi doesn't shed."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *mumbles that she does*
* Ariel ruffles Zephyr's hair
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr laughs a bit.
* Megumi moves over and sits aside Erevis, hands folded in her lap.
<Megumi> "It is... surprising to me, but I... Those two seem happy."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Megumi> "I suppose I thought that once I had given you your eye, that you would see it as a time to make ammends and move on."
* Megumi looks down again. "Was there a different reason for having asked me that? Back then?"
* Ariel just smiles softly at the little one.
<Ariel> "You're absolutely positive that we're not going to crash, right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tilts her head back a little, as if looking back.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I say...50/50?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Wind said his greatest sin was that he could not let go of the past. And Xanatos always wished me to be happy. I felt that if maybe I let go of the past, I might could accomplish that.
<Ariel> "Really? Wow... that's pretty good odds."
* Megumi sighs softly, turning so she can lean her back against Erevis' shoulder. "But you cannot, thus far?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thanks! Besides, I'm just a kid.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Erevis should be flying if you're all worried.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am still searching. 6She says honestly. A year might have passed, but she still never lies.
* Ariel smiles, "Nah, I'm not worried at all. As long as I'm not flying."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But you're a Dragoon. You should naturally know how to fly.
<Megumi> "Searching for...?"
* Megumi raises one hand, studying the back, her knuckles and the likes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> For happiness.
* Megumi winces slightly. "..I ...see."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances over her shoulder. "That is not to say I am unhappy."
<Megumi> "Oh, it is... fine. I could not have expected to have brought you happiness, after all."
<Megumi> "I just..."
* Megumi sets her hand back down. "It took me that long to meet everyone and start to feel like I was no longer lonely. I would not have lived with myself for abandoning you to be alone after that."
<Ariel> "It's different flying a ship, and flying under your own power..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How?
<Ariel> "Well... because you can run, doesn't mean you can drive a car, right? Swimming doesn't make you a skilled submarine operator."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You need not worry about me, Megumi Zhenmei. I am a ... What is the term. I am a ... "Big girl".
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can drive. 6She announces, unable to contain herself.
* Ariel smiles, "Well, they're not mutually exclusive you know."
* Megumi giggles softly. "...Correct, miss Erevis... Which is why I would worry about you even more."
<Ariel> "Darien was teaching me to fly once... but it's harder than it looks."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I could teach you!
<Megumi> "Furthermore, as one of the ones who brought me even a small amount of happiness, it is my duty to see it through."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You worry about me more because I am a big girl? 6She sounds...confused.
* Ariel smiles softly, "I appreciate the offer, but I think Darien would be heart broken to get out and find that I learned to fly without him."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Tch.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sulks.
* Megumi turns to her side slightly and hugs Erevis' arm. "Mm... There is no reason to have to understand it... It is... illogical, I told you once before, once upon a time before a crisis. All you need to know is that you are irreplaceable, so I will make sure I watch you closely."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis expression softens. "I am more worried about you."
* Megumi holds her hand up and laughs gently.
<Megumi> "Worried about me...? We are... on our way to my home. What is there to worry about?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am told it is painful for many to go home.
<Megumi> "I doubt this is one such time, miss Erevis... I will enjoy introducing you all to my family..." Sigh. "It... has been so long.."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances up as the alarm lets her know they're ready to jump out.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reaches over and pulls the lever. They come out and all they see is black. Zephyr pauses awkwardly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr calmly grabs her book, flipping it open. She looks at the book, then ahead, then at the book. She calmly closes the book.
<DeathStar> 6* Then bursts out crying.
* Ariel hesitates, "...wha... what's wrong...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes deep breaths as she sobs. "I-I mis-missed up." 6She says sobbing.
<DeathStar> *messed
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Again. 6She adds.
* Ariel looks at the readings, "What'd you do wrong...?"
<DeathStar> 6* There are no readings. IT's like all light is being sucked up into the void ahead.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sobs* I messed up a number on the calculations.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "I am sure they will be happy to see you."
* Megumi starts to drift off to sleep as is such often the case when she sidles up to someone it seems.
<Ariel> "Well... then the only thing you can do is fix it."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I can't. The blackhole is eating us. *sobs*
<DeathStar> 6* The ship makes a crunch sound.
* Megumi 's ears perk. "...What was that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up. "It sounded as if the hull were being pressed on."
<Megumi> "..I have a feeling miss Zephyr brought us too close to the Sii system..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How close I wonder.
<Ariel> "......"
* Megumi reluctantly lets go of Erevis, but imminent death takes a precedence and she climbs off the bed to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, moving along the ship and through the lounge.
* Megumi follows at her side, growing a minor headache along the way.
* Ariel actually looks kinda nervous... ship crunching and all
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr bawls.
<Megumi> "...M-miss.. Zephyr..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps in. "What is the sit---." 6She stares ahead.
* Megumi stares sullenly. "Well... That is... about as close as we could be without being instantly crushed or barreling into it from hyperspace."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I'm sor-sorry. 6She gulps tears.
<Megumi> "This is... no time for that..."
<Megumi> "At the very least, try to... turn the ship completely around, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quietly picks up Zephyr and hands her to Megumi. She sits down, reaching over to adjust the controls. Her gloved hands test the thruster responses.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then turns them around, hitting the thrusters. They don't seem to be making any progress.
* Megumi closes her eyes again upon being handed Zephyr... Who isn't that much smaller then her and is forced to set her down.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs MEgumi's leg.
<Megumi> "...Can we make a temporary hyperspace leap?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am attempting to get the controls to respond. Apparantly the ship believes it is unsafe to make such a manuever when the ship is being pulled by a large gravity force.
<Megumi> "There are... few options besides. After all, we would need to move faster than light to escape something that can devour light."
<Megumi> "Tell the ship it is a black hole..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses a moment. "I do not believe I can talk to the ship." 6She notes, as if considering it.
<Megumi> "I do not... feel like being molecularly compressed today..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps the humans' saying about going home being painful has some merit.
* Megumi moves to eye diagnostics and see what exactly the ship is denying them for. She had begun studying engineering, since molecular manipulation was similar with different methods.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to have a built in safety feature that prevents jumping into hyperspace if outside forces are directing the ship.
<Megumi> "Well, do we have any other ideas before I start hardwiring us an override?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Also, I am fearful the engines will not last long with the amount of stress I am putting on them to keep us from being pulled in.
<Megumi> "I will be... quick about it then."
<Ariel> "Is there anything I can do?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not think you pushing the ship will work in this situation.
<Megumi> "Obviously we will not jump in a straight line due to the gravitational pull, however... I am... fearful to rely on her at this point, however, while I am working on this we will need to figure out the best heading to point before the jump."
<Megumi> "The last thing we need is to jump safely, but veer right into another start because of it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will handle the calculations.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr has gotten quiet, standing off to the side.
* Megumi smiles and nods, before reaching down and focusing, ripping a panelling off underneath the controls and hiding half of her upper body within the new opening.
<Megumi> "... ... ..A-aw... What packrat wired this..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks out of the cockpit area.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
* Ariel glances at Megumi and Erevis, "...I'll get out of your way." She hurries to check on Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flops down on her bed, covering her head with her pillow.
* Ariel sits down on the edge of the bed.
<Megumi> CLANG. "...O-ow... ..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would advise against doing that.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tries to pretend she's not there.
<Megumi> "...O-okay. I think that should take care of the ...no, that's not it."
<Megumi> "What is... what is this grey wire for?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ...
<Megumi> "Oh!"
* Ariel lays down next to Zephyr, just watching her.
* Megumi crawls back out after a few moments. "...That... that should do it."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> They'll never trust me again. 6She mumbles into her pillow. It comes out muffled
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, glancing over the readings. "Yes, you have disabled the safety protocols."
<Megumi> "Have the course?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe I am ... ... correct.
<Megumi> "I trust you..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am grateful for the trust. However, I do not believe that will help with my calculations.
* Megumi smiles softly. "If you want me to check them, I will, if we are short on time, I will have confidence you are as good as I think."
<Ariel> "I'm sure they won't hold it against you... but next time, listen to Megumi more."
* Ariel adds, "...I checked your coordinates, and I didn't notice anything wrong either."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls over her, her face scrunching up. "Listen to Megumi more?" 6She almost gags on the words
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, then pulls the lever. The ship makes a jump. Erevis times something, then brings them back out. In normal space.
* Megumi breathes a big sigh.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'd rather die than see her being smug. 6She covers her face with the pillow.
* Megumi places a hand on Erevis' shoulder, then reaches for the ship communications.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, then begins to study star charts to see where they are now.
* Ariel puts one hand on the pillow, "You sure about that?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. 6She says miseribly.
* Megumi clicks the comm. "Well, we seem safe for the moment."
* Ariel holds the pillow with one hand, and starts to tickle Zephyr.
<Megumi> "Unsure of how far of course we are now, but at least we are not... being crushed."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to laugh. Muffled laughs can be heard on the comm.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> S-S-Stop!
* Megumi smiles more warmly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up at the laughter. "It would seem they are pleased."
* Megumi nods at Erevis. "Now, Zephyr, do realize this means I will actually be reviewing your homework from now on..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops laughing. One could practically feel her looking upset again.
* Ariel gives up the tickling, and removes the pillow. "Going to stop beating yourself up over this now?"
* Megumi helps Erevis locate their new position.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You enjoyed that.
<Megumi> "A little bit. It is... more fulfilling now that we are going to live."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sniffs* She's mean.
<Megumi> "Oh..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It wasn't THAT bad.
* Megumi clicks off the comm.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She pauses, then points. "I believe we are here. One quick jump will bring us to your planet."
* Megumi nods, and then sets about making a proper path to avoid Sii, the Nue star, and the four moons around Famfrit.
<Ariel> "Well... it could have killed us all."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I wasn't scared.
* Megumi hugs Erevis. "Thank you. I will... Make ends meet with miss Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good luck. 6She takes the hug in stride as she works.
* Megumi ambles off toward the sleeping room again, sighing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Megumi's calculations, nods in satisfaction, and sends them on their way.
<Ariel> "No... I wasn't either. But... it could have been very serious, Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls her knees up to herself and hugs them. "I know." 6She sounds miserible.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes a pillow and hurls it at the door entrance.
* Megumi 's ears twitch and her hands move reactively to catch it.
<Megumi> "Oh dear, shall I leave?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then looks even more embarrassed.
* Megumi sighs deeply, then takes a step and HURDLES the pillow back at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is knocked right off the bed.
* Megumi brushes her outfit off, and moves closer to Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lays on the floor, gaping in shock.
<Ariel> "...nice shot."
<Megumi> "My hand slipped..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, looking furious and upset. "LIAR!"
<Megumi> "I suppose that means we are even, however, miss Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just ... stomps her foot and walks out.
<Megumi> "A mistake for a mistake, after all... So I cannot chastise you anymore."
* Megumi moves and recovers the pillow, setting it back in its rightful place on the bed. "I feel that went well, do you not as well, miss Ariel?"
* Ariel leans back, "Well... we'll see when she's had time to reflect."
* Megumi giggles softly, and heads back for the cockpit. "We are... due to arrive within minutes. We were lucky to jump closer to our desination."
* Megumi pauses at the door.
<Megumi> "Her course was indeed the shortest possible, it just failed to take into consideration the decay rate of Sii and to accomodate a path around it."
<Megumi> "That black hole and all the massive stars here play a juggling match with each other."
<Ariel> "It wouldn't have been an issue if she didn't brush off your warnings..." *sigh* "I wasn't critical enough when I double checked."
<Megumi> "Perhaps, but she was merely unlucky."
<Megumi> "It is... a rare situation you do not have to consider in navigation very often. Usually the kinds of places with these errors to consider are in unreachable locations or locales too dangerous to land."
* Megumi smiles slightly, then continues on her way.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is quietly at the controls. She brings them out of hyperspace about the time Megumi arrives - Famfrit is in sight.
* Megumi hears the ship calm and finally opens her eyes, widening slightly to fully take in the image.
<Megumi> "It certainly looks the same..."
* Ariel gets to her feet and goes to see what this mysterious planet looks like
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes the ... unsightly planet.
<Megumi> "I forgot to ask... Can any of you see in the darkness?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Ariel> "Well... some."
<Megumi> "Hm... That could be a problem."
<Megumi> "I know you never asked why my eyes glow at night..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches into her cloak, feeling around. She pulls out some goggles.
* Megumi shrugs slightly. "Famfrit is only lit by the residual light of the four moons. We can see in total darkness."
<Megumi> "That is why I dislike your bright surfaces..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Where should we land?
* Megumi rubs her head. "Actually, I was thinking we would be contacted by now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses. "There has been no contact."
<Megumi> "I would seriously dislike to have flown this whole way just for the defense corps to hail us with a bunch of crystals."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the scanners.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are picking up unusual signals around us.
<Ariel> "Signals?"
<Megumi> "I mean... The last time I was here was seven earth years ago. I left out of Thyuu on a research vessel... I do not exactly know where to go..."
<Megumi> "Huh? 'Unusual' signals?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The computer analyises them as crystal objects. Heading our way.
<Megumi> "..A-ah! Ships or... are they manifesting to strike us without even communicating a hail!?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Judging by the speed, I do not think they are ships.
<Ariel> "Erevis... I believe this is a good time to evade.'
<Megumi> "Put up a ba-- Oh... you cannot..>"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the controls, and begins to fly forward, for the planet. Collision alarms sound seconds later, but they to have avoided whatever it was.
<DeathStar> *seem
* Megumi quickly presses her hand to the panels, reaching up for the comm. "Broadcast."
<DeathStar> 6* The communications open.
<Megumi> "Famfrit surface, we are... non-combatants, please... do not try to strike us."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances back at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Silence so far.
<Ariel> "As long as we don't crash, I'm happy."
<Megumi> "We are neither representative of Earth nor any other non-neutral interest. This is a vessel with personal business, again, please cease strikes. Request a landing desination."
<DeathStar> 6* More silence. So far, no attacks are followed up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks grim. She hates not being able to feel.
<Ariel> "...Earth is certainly popular these days."
<Megumi> "...This is strange.. I know we are not of the PAX anymore, but it is ...I have not heard of their affiliation with any side."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps relationships with PAX are not as we thought?
* Megumi tries again. "Famfrit surface, this is a private vessel bearing three civilians and the Famfrit Megumi Zhenmei from the derelict research Uyo. Please respond...?"
* Megumi clicks off the broadcast. "Erevis, do not stray closer unless we get a response."
<Ariel> "You always said, that the ambassador might not have represented Famfrit at all. But back then, I couldn't find any information either way."
<DeathStar> 6* That gets a response. It's spoken in Famfrit. "You will land at this location. Do not deviant from this course." 6They click off without waiting a response. Erevis, while not able to understand, gets the tone well. It's not friendly.
* Megumi blinks a few times.
<Megumi> "Well, we have coordinates now..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I confess I am...uneasy
<Megumi> "I understand. It was not any friendlier in my tongue... I do not know why I received it that way, but it is... unwise to turn back now."
* Megumi rubs her temples. "As I mentioned before, long range is a Famfrit specialty."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She begins to fly the course without another word.
* Megumi clicks the ship communications. "Miss Zephyr, I would advise coming to miss Ariel... We may not... be properly welcomed."
* Ariel frowms... she's obviously uncomfortable with all of this.
<DeathStar> 6* They descend through the darkness. Erevis seems to need to fly the course specifically, as it's too damn dark.
* Megumi sits, frowning.
<Megumi> "Miss Ariel you have not... heard anything regarding Famfrit or the ambassador since we left, right?"
* Ariel shakes her head, "Nothing. I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* After a moment, large crystal like structures, in the forms of buildings, can be seen. It is very much like the weapons is able to make. It would seem their course is taking them in toward the cluster of crystal buildings below.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps onto the cockpit, quietly.
* Ariel waves Zephyr over
* Megumi keeps an eye on where they're going. She doesn't remember much, honestly, but it would be easy to tell militant things from civilian and freeport.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks over, eyeing what seems to be a crystal city.
* Ariel sits Zephyr on her lap. "I want you to stay close to me, okay, Zephyr?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mooooom. I'm not a kid.
<DeathStar> 6* As they get closer, Megumi would realize that they are indeed going into a military port. As the ship lands, Famfrits begin to step out and take up shop around their ship. Even Erevis can tell they're in the military. She lands and glances at Megumi.
<Megumi> "Okay, well, I am sure I do not have to remind you, but just because they are not holding anything, does not mean they are unarmed..."
<Megumi> "I will... go first..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that wise?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They appear ... displeased.
<Megumi> "I would rather go than stay here and see what happens if we refuse to exit."
<Ariel> "...this is not an issue of being a child or not. They mean business."
<Megumi> "Also rather go than send someone besides myself. I am not... a coward."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, then slides on her goggles. She lifts her hood over head. "I will walk to the ramp as well."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs, but doesn't disobey
<Megumi> "That is fine, but no further until ...sorted, alright, miss Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just smiles, and steps out of the cockpit.
* Megumi rises. "...I will not claim to know what is wrong, but I will not stand for someone getting hurt because I wanted to come..."
* Megumi heads for the exiting hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches them go, then up at Ariel. "I could fly us out."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops at the ramp, then glances at Megumi.
* Ariel shakes her head, "We won't be causing more trouble."
* Megumi nods slowly and gazes down, before slowly taking a step or two. Coward, whatever. It's utterly freaky. She has to force herself further than the step or two.
* Ariel follows after Erevis, wanting to at least be able to hear the exchange.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrits stand around, watching her. This isn't a welcome party. One Famfrit in general, wearing the clothes of a higher officer, watches her. He has a pudge to his belly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kneels there, so she can gaze better out the ramp at those surrounding them.
<Megumi> "...I suppose this is a bad time to ask what the problem is?"
* Megumi smiles softly. "Is our ship out of registration?"
<DeathStar> 6* The officer studies her with disdain. "Save your humor, Zhenmei. You will be coming with us to answer some questions. We will detain your ship and hold your... fellow passengers in the mean time." 6He waves his hand, directing some of the Famfrit to step forward to lead Megumi away.

* Topic is 'So with fair warning does the darkness descend, stealing away light's warmth and promising no deliverance. Save grasp for the higher meaning, prepare for the worst.'
* Set by Feather on Wed Sep 05 23:29:56
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
* Megumi yes, yes would like to know!
<DeathStar> 6* They appear to be in the desolete outer areas of the planet Megumi calls home.
<Ariel> "...we need to find the others."
<Megumi> "...Miss Ariel... ...What... What do I do?"
* Megumi checks the commander again, hoping for a pulse, even if he's paralyzed and knocked out.
<DeathStar> 6* He's dead, Jim.
* Ariel checks the body and frowns, "...there's nothing more we can do here."
* Megumi shakes slightly. "... I..."
<Megumi> "I ...cannot... leave him.."
* Ariel pauses, "What do you suggest then, Megumi?
<Megumi> "...It... It is... my problem..."
* Megumi grabs one of his arms and... hefts him over her shoulders.
<DeathStar> 6* The corpse offers little resistance
* Megumi closes her eyes and listens intently, trying to make out any sign of where they came from.
<DeathStar> 6* No sounds give her clues.
<Megumi> "...Wh-where did we ...saunter from?"
* Ariel hesitates on that. She tries to get a bead on either Erevis or Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is definitely somewhere to the west.
* Ariel forms her sword, and lets her armour vanish. She charges it with enough energy to use as a torch. "...this way."
* Megumi winces from the light, closing her eyes instinctively and following.
<DeathStar> 6* So far, they're walking along the desolute plains with no further attacks. So far, none of this is making any sense
<Ariel> "Any ideas what this is all about...?" .oO( What a vacation... my hair is a mess now... )
* Megumi sniffles slightly, but says nothing.
* Ariel sighs a little.
<Megumi> 6* The plains gradually become darker, despite the torch light. The sound of dripping catches Megumi's ears, echoing throughout the area as if they had unknowingly entered a cavern. Trickling is nearby, but where isn't quite discernable.
<Megumi> "This sounds not like where we..."
* Ariel smiles a little nervously at that, "Well... finding our way back to the ship would be beyond me... but Zephyr is this way."
<Megumi> 6* A soft laughter resounds, reverberating about the two, slowly becoming focusable toward the southeast. Megumi's attention is quickly snapped toward it, dropping the commander undaintily.
<DeathStar> 6* Crack.
<Megumi> "..."
<Megumi> 6* The laughter softens, and then a whistle is made, Megumi unable to help herself, suddenly darts off toward it, paying no attention to the fact that not even she can see at this point.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is left with the commander.
<Ariel> "Megumi!"
<Megumi> "Mother! Father!"
<Megumi> 6* She quickly leaves the semi-visible circlet, venturing forth toward the two sounds she seems to identify with. ~Meeegumiii...~ the tamer voice calls. "Mother!"
* Ariel hurries after Megumi, trying not to be left behind... she leaves the commander outside
<Megumi> * Megumi stops, stepping anxiously from foot to foot in the darkness. "Mother...?"
<Megumi> 6* Gradually, the darkness lifts, revealing a cavern not unlike something reminisce of Centerpoint a year ago. Formations of crystallization taking on hues of violet and red, red light filtering throughout the seemingly painted background.
<Megumi> 6* Arms envelope Megumi, causing her to jerk briefly, but then simmer down. "Did you enjoy yourself, Megumi?"
* Gabriella is now known as Angela
<Megumi> "Huh...?"
* Ariel looks around. There's something... not right, about this place.
<Megumi> 6* A woman, of Megumi's general description but of a likeness in age close to fourties, encompasses her, smiling softly. Creepily enough, in the manner that Megumi has developed in the last year. "Did you enjoy yourself..? Finding... family?"
<Megumi> "I understand not. My family is here."
<Megumi> 6* It brightens just enough, the red light fading to a pale blue, revealing now the streaks and lines of red pouring from various spots about the woman. "...If that's so, then why didn't you return to us when it mattered?"
<DeathStar> -END-

<Megumi> 6* Megumi's eyes widen, her mouth dropping to say something, but another pair of arms, broader hands snatching her from the opposing side, a mellow-toned voice. "We could have used our daughter back then."
* Ariel stops dead in her tracks, seeing this
<Megumi> 6* The cavern's blue light pulses, taking on a violet hue, remaining just blue enough to seem like the blood on the two apparent parents glowers slightly.
<Megumi> "I... I...!"
<Ariel> "...leave her be."
<Megumi> 6* The two ghastly Famfrit heed not Ariel's words, a hand resting on her shoulder. "That's my line."
* Ariel walks forward, trying to be calm for Megumi's sake
<Megumi> 6* The hand on Ariel's shoulder inhibits her from moving further, the weak grip seeming to possess the weight of an anchor.
* Ariel turns to face the figure.
<Megumi> 6* A semi-familiar face resides, his hand returning to a lazy position in his pocket, with donned sunglasses and a rather mismatched suit to contrast. As soon as she turns to him, the background fades, shifting to that of deep space, the stars about, familiar as the milky way.
<Ariel> "...okay, this is getting rediculous." *tries to move towards Megumi again*
<Megumi> 6* Turning again, nothing but endless space resides... Nothing greeting her vision but the twinkling of distant novae.
<Megumi> 6* His voice seems humoured. "Looking for something?"
* Ariel closes her eyes and sighs. She tries to block her mind off, in case of psionics. "What do you want?"
* Megumi (getting tired of the colour thing, you get the point.)
<Megumi> Wind "Hasn't that always been rather obvious?"
<Ariel> "Right... something more basic. Who are you?"
<Megumi> Wind "Oh come now. Could there possibly be another me?"
<Megumi> He walks forward, reaching for Ariel's face. "...What I've wanted... ..."
* Ariel shakes her head. "You're not Wind." She states simply. "Who are you?"
<Megumi> Wind "Why do you doubt me? Because I erased myself?"
<Megumi> He turns away, chuckling.
<Ariel> "Mmm... being removed from existance would do that to a person. So who are you?"
<Megumi> He turns back, smiling cruelly behind the sunglasses.
<Megumi> "I am Wind, no more or less than I will always be."
<Megumi> He leans forward, raising the sunglasses. "As I will always be with you."
<Ariel> "Wind wasn't this sick and twisted."
<Megumi> He leans back, eyebrows arcing as the sunglasses fall back in place. "My, Ariel. So cold."
* Ariel smiles.
<Megumi> He spreads his arms. "All I've ever wanted is you, yo--" A ripple forms across the very reality that Ariel is within, as if something disturbed the surface of a pane of water. "--u know that, right?"
<Ariel> "No... and if you were the real Wind, you'd realize that." *gathers more energy into her sword*
<Megumi> It's faint, and distorted, as if drawing close but then being brought very far away over and over. Megumi's voice... shrieking?
<Megumi> Another ripple casts over the background. Wind frowns. "But I am the real Wind... Maybe not the one you knew, but I certainly am the only Wind no--" The entire scene washes away, dissolving away, displaying the barren landscape of Famfrit's surface. Real light.
<Megumi> Not much, but it's true low-light.
<Megumi> A soft set of fingers brushes their backs against the side of Ariel's face.
* Ariel turns quickly to face the interloper
<Megumi> As quickly as she turns, the intervenist passes past her, giggling softly. "Show me, miss... 'knight.' Show me the lovely dance that you two possess..." Traces of white frills pass out of her peripheral vision.
<Ariel> "Oh, for the love of Navashia..."
<Megumi> The sound of bells rings, and the giggling fades away. Ariel has the feeling that even if she looked, the dress-wearing one would be gone at this point.
* Ariel looks around, for some sign of... anything familiar. She wishes she had some way to sense out Megumi, like she can Erevis or Zephyr
<Megumi> Megumi's piercing scream instead obliterates the sound of the bell. She has never left the same distance from Ariel as she was originally.
<Megumi> Except at this point she's a miserable wreck and far from the call one who landed on the surface a half hour ago.
<Megumi> It's been precisely one year; One year since the events that befell all aboard the PAX and ended the star of Ariel's little daydream, and a year since the crystal that begins devouring Megumi's body was present in such a case.
* Ariel hurries forward to check on Megumi, keeping her mind the steel bastion that she tempered in all that time dealing with Spade. "Megumi! Megumi, can you here me?"
<Megumi> Megumi let's go of her head and pulls her hands back, the crystal dangling down them and forming the claws. Her hand thrasing outward at Ariel approaching.
* Ariel forms her armour just to be safe. "Megumi... It's me. Ariel."
<Megumi> She's shaking completely now, a bloody tear escaping one of her violet, hemmoraging eyes. "..." Then her head is encased, forming the tigers mouth, leaning back and screaming at the sky, shaking the ground.
* Ariel trys to slip around Megumi
<Megumi> While she's roaring at the nightfall sky, it's easy to get around behind.
* Ariel moves up behind Megumi, and takes her in a bearhug, holding those claws to the side where they can't hurt anything.
<Megumi> Her head snaps back, snapping at the air before Ariel's face, her body thrashing. Even with the strongest grip, this won't last for long.
* Ariel rests her head against Megumi's, "...shh... Megumi. Calm down. Please... It's me. It's Ariel. I'm not going to hurt you... so please..."
<Megumi> Her head rears again, snarling. The least expected outcome likely being the fact that a familiar type of ability forms. Lines of a semi-transparent burst of force converge, striking Ariel in the chest. They're nothing compared to Megumi's own force, but enough to jolt someone unprepared.
* Ariel winces, and bears the hit. She's wearing armour still fortunately. She just continues to hold Megumi firmly
<Megumi> At the point of impact, the armor begins to dissolve, unfortunately. Something funny is up.
<Megumi> Giggle. "Saa, saa, ikou... dance...!"
<Ariel> "...Megumi... please..."
<Megumi> She snarls, the convergence striking again, increasing the rate of acidity.
* Ariel winces, "I won't fight her... for your sick pleasure..."
<DeathStar> NRP: *Ariel wins by time default8
<Megumi> (Friend.)
<Megumi> (Finally...)
<Megumi> The convergence strikes another point. The armor is starting to take a considerable beating and even sections of the shoulders are missing. Megumi coils up, then throws both arms out, attempting to overwhelm Ariel's hold in one tightened mass.
* Ariel holds on as tightly as she can, "... Megumi... you have to fight this... Please..." She's probally about to take a beating soon
<Megumi> One more, complete and utter wild thrashing.
<Megumi> At least the dissolving on the armor from her auto-barrier finally stopped.
* Ariel holds on tightly, her player resisting the urge to pull a busou renkin.
<Megumi> (Busou Renkin? o.o)
<Ariel> ((Ah, haven't seen that show?))
<Megumi> (Grew bored after 6 episodes.)
<Ariel> ((One of the guys had armour for his weapon. He could use it in reverse mode to form on the enemy and hinder them))
* Ariel hugs tries to hold on... she's not as strong as Megumi, but she's determined and has the mechanical advantage right now
<Megumi> She just keeps thrashing, allowing the auto-barrier to do its counterattack and continue eating sections of armor over time. Whatever she saw in her own little 'dream' sent her into her other self that hears nothing-- And unfortunately Erevis is neither available nor capable of doing what she did last time.
* Ariel doesn't have much option besides try to let Megumi tire herself out... it's not a good plan, but what other choice does she have at this point?
<DeathStar> NRP: Kill her.
<Megumi> Megumi finally breaks the hold, after a good while of thrashing and the auto-barrier eating at least a third of the upper armor. She twists and then jerks, practically tossing Ariel a good ten feet, not allowing her a moment to breath before the beast within is furious, scrambling across the barren ground leaving lashes in the stonework, a clawed paw swiping, the other poised for a half-second follow up.

Session Start: Wed Sep 12 00:00:01 2007
Session Ident: #Tawny
* Ariel does her best to block the swipes with her fore arm, "Megumi!"
<Megumi> The first slash literally rips armor away, the second tearing the remaining and making a small gouge. Bough the armour and wound take on the acidic affect, similar to lingering plasma. Seems this is the awakened form that the fire rune originally unfolded briefly.
<Megumi> The crystal tiger bears weight down on Ariel, pretty much walking over her. Something has its attention to the west, and with little thought to Ariel, it leaps off of her and barrels toward an unknown scent.
* Ariel forces herself to her feet, and regenerates her armour. She hesitates, looking to make sure there's no sign that this isn't the real world, before she decides to head after the tiger
<Megumi> On four legs and empowered, she runs just a little faster, but before she does, Ariel can see the hints of crystal growing pinkish. The lingering effects the same as last time flame or not, a small trail of blood along the ground, just a droplet here or there, before the tiger's lost from sight.
* Ariel hurries after the tiger... but it's sorta futile. She can never move as fast as Megumi does
<Megumi> Eventually when Ariel 'catches up' she re-enters the settlement they were landed at. Except, most of the spires about have been cleaved through, crashing into others. Some are still in the process of falling and shattering when Ariel arrives and many gash marks are within the buildings themselves.
<Megumi> Testiment to some resistance are the spires protruding from the ground, laid much like many spikes throughout, a rain of deadly hail in different spots, but trails and splashes of blood from various skirmishes paint the darklit town in a new mood.
* Ariel starts searching for Megumi, trying again to get in contact with Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Something tackles Ariel suddenly. It's Zephyr. She seems positively freaked out.
<Ariel> "Zephyr? What are... where's Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* As Megumi rampages, a green staff strikes her in the face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr points back at the chaos ahead.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> S-S-She told me to run.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr has some blood on her, it seems, but it doesn't seem to be her's.
* Ariel tries to sense out Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is ahead, in the middle of the rampaging mess.
<Megumi> Megumi has laid aside every Famfrit she's come across, and now circles about with Erevis. Except... She pulls one card out that was never possible before.
<Megumi> She speaks, albeit in raised tones.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks around, hooded and cloaked. She spins the green staff in her left hand.
<Megumi> "Get... OUT ... of my way!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Megumi> She continues circling Erevis, but not striking, eyes wide.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis circles Megumi casually. "You will stop now, Megumi Zhenmei."
<Megumi> The circling was a diversion. Once on the opposite side from when she started, she turns and darts off as quick as ever, heading for the higher complexes.
* Ariel rests a hand on Zephyr, and goes to join Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis was ready for it, and the staff extends, aiming to break her rightk nee.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches her go, clenching her hands into fists. She chases after Ariel.
<Megumi> Her body leaps, twisting, her teeth snatching the staff in crystal jaws, snarling.
<Megumi> "..Er...e...VIS..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains as Megumi bites her weapon. She knows it can't break, but that matters little. She begins to circle, trying to spin MEgumi
<Megumi> Her grip tightens... the crystal body groaning, she begins to left the pole.
<Megumi> left~lift.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises up off the ground.
<Megumi> She goes to toss her head, but something causes her to hesitate, instead flicking, sending Erevis toward the approaching Ariel. Using that as her next opportunity to escape.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis flips in the air and lands in a slide. She makes the staff smaller.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... STOP THIS RIGHT NOW! 6She literally screams, which is unlike her in the least.
<Megumi> Megumi pauses at the top of the stone steps leading to the final building, gazing back, the stone about her is almost purely red at this point.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls the hood off, glaring up at Megumi. She points. "Come back here RIGHT now."
<Megumi> Her head gazes forward again. As if it's just a little more. A little bit more and she might be satisfied. She looks back to Erevis, glaring soundly behind the gemstone.
<Megumi> "... I SAW it... all..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She crosses her arms, glancing at Ariel for explanation.
* Ariel hasn't a clue. She's a spectator to this story.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I won't forgive you if you continue with this madness! 6She yells up to Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr runs up, grabbnig Ariel's hand.
<Megumi> Her claws dig into the steps, cracking both them and the pseudo claws.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, not moving after Megumi. She fully expects Megumi to listen to her, or disobey her.
<Megumi> Megumi looks to the final enclosure, snarling loudly, then looks back to Erevis and then upward and howls pitifully, rearing her head back, then slaming it into the steps once with a horrendous crackling of stone on stone.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems relieved.
<Megumi> Then again, shattering the reddened crystal about her head, the rest crumbling away like sand as she clutchers her own bloody fingers across her face, staring wide-eyed at the ground on her knees.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi like she was a monster.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances once at Ariel, then hurries up to Megumi.
* Ariel approaches Megumi now that she isn't trying to kill her
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr totally does not approach.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kneels before Megumi once she reaches her. "Thank you."
<Ariel> "...well, at least she listens to you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did you try yelling?
<Megumi> Her voice cracks, laughing between sobs. "..S-so... long... ahaha.. I... ahah! ...Waited... for nothing..."
* Ariel doesn't answer that.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Megumi with concern.
<Megumi> Megumi prostates herself, holding her hands locked over her head, pressing her face to her knees. "... Could have... died on Kilek and wouldn't... hah... change a thing... They were... gone before... I even... left..."
<Megumi> She wails, breaking some line between this year and the last.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits beside her, not knowing what else to do, and puts an arm around the girl.
<Megumi> "...Why, m-miss Erevis..? I... want... to get rid of... them all. No.. b-better than... whom we met... before."
<DeathStar> -END-

Session Ident: #taw13hell3
* Now talking in #taw13hell3
* Chad`Winters has joined #taw13hell3
* Seraphna has joined #taw13hell3
* Seraphna is now known as Angela
<DeathStar> You two READY?
<Angela> sure
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 2 months in hell
* Angela falls to the sand, the tree in front of her half beaten to death, she's been training rather hard lately.
* Chad`Winters looks down at their remaining water supplies several feet into the jungle. He glances out and into the sky behind him, his eyes narrowing
* Angela closes her eyes and tries, as she does every day, to hopefully feel out for her Dragoon.
* Chad`Winters runs his hand through his growing hair, his stubble having remained stubble. He steps out and past their shack and begins moving down to the beach again
* Angela looks up and watches him walk past, musing to herself.
<Angela> "Have you been trying to shave?"
* Chad`Winters stops, glancing at Angela a neutral look on his face.
* Angela smiles at him, seeming to ignore the neutral look out of familiarity now. "Well?"
<Chad`Winters> No. And I can see neither have you. 6He grunts and turns, pulling his worn spear out of the sand.
<Angela> "I don't grow much in the way of hair hun."
* Angela stands slowly, "Shouldn't you have a bit of a beard by now?"
<Chad`Winters> I'm not your hun...6He sticks his spear back in and grabs the torn remains of his upper body tact suit and begins pulling it on over his deeply tanned body.
* Angela giggles, "You really should loosen up."
* Chad`Winters grunts in response and begins treading into the water, moving along the shallow sandbar as he moves out.
* Angela moves closer to the water and sits. "Really, you going to be a grouch your whole life?"
<Chad`Winters> You going to continue to be annoying your entire life?
<Angela> "Quite possibly, I prefer the term cheerful though."
* Xanatos has joined #taw13hell3
<Chad`Winters> Aya's cheerful. You, you're annoying, borderline irritating.
<Angela> "How exactly? By asking questions?"
<Chad`Winters> One could count that towards a reason why. 6He begins moving further away.
* Angela sighs and clicks her tounge a little, "You know, always grumpy and judgemental could be a reason for annoyance too."
<Chad`Winters> Oddly, I'm only like that around you...I wonder...6He pauses as he taps his chin, the spear hanging off to his side.
* Angela shrugs, "Well what should I stop doing so you loosen up a little...?"
* Chad`Winters glances back at Angela. 1"Do you really want me to answer that question?
<Angela> "Yes."
<Chad`Winters> Stop talking. I'm diving down deep, so don't get your undies in an uproar. 6He moves to the edge of the bar and leaps off it and into the water.
* Angela pouts a bit after he's under the water, and remains quiet.
<Chad`Winters> 6A breeze moves in, rustling the leaves behind Angela
* Angela remains still, enjoying the breeze rushing over her.
<Chad`Winters> 6The sun beats down on her, much like it has been for the last week.
* Angela just soaks it in, her own skin very tanned at this point.
* Chad`Winters suddenly breaks water about 30 feet back and begins swimming quickly towards shore
* Angela sits up, watching.
<Chad`Winters> 7Something briefly breaks surface behind Chad then quickly disappears.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: ARRGHG!
<DeathStar> NRP :AH
* Angela blinks and stands slowly, reaching for the knife at her side.
* Chad`Winters is suddenly pulled underwater.
* Angela puts the knife in her teeth and dives in.
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus1
* Marcus1 is now known as Marcus`
<Chad`Winters> 6Angela would have to move out further to really dive in and see anything
* Angela moves out quickly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Something bursts out of the water, hurling Chad through the air, blood is evident on his body.
* Angela moves as quickly as she can for Chad, she's an amazingly good swimmer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Angela can see a red and black colored water.
* Angela keeps away from it as she swims over to Chad, if he's still in the water.
<Chad`Winters> 6That's where he landed.
* Angela dives deeper, grabbing for him.
<Chad`Winters> 6IT's difficult to see through it all, but she does get some red blood and black mystery liqiud in her hair and on her body.
* Angela just goes for CHad, not caring.
<Chad`Winters> 6Something suddenly grabs Angela' shirt from behind and begins pulling her towards the surface.
* Angela struggles, lookking around, moving the knife to her hand, gripping it tight.
<Chad`Winters> 6Whatever is pulling her breaks surface, and she breaks right behind it.
* Angela gasps for air and tries to see what it is.
* Chad`Winters can be seen floating there, a pissed look on his face. He motions her to get to shore as he treads water.
* Angela doesn't make a sound, she just starts swimming to shore.
* Chad`Winters floats there for several seconds then begins swimming after Angela, his eyes checking behind him occasionaly
* Angela steps up on the shore, looking back at him.
* Chad`Winters begins stepping out of the water, his tact suit torn on all over, his left arm bleeding with cuts running all along it.
* Angela sighs, tearing off the bottom of her top, exposing her full belly, and walking over, inspecting his arm and tying it around the wound, not even concerned with herself.
* Chad`Winters grabs Angela's hand as it reaches out to bandage him. 1"I'm fine.
* Angela looks at the wound, strangely not even talking, resuming that ability to say an entire phrase with her eyes she once used to.
* Chad`Winters moves up along the beach towards their fire.
<Chad`Winters> What the hell do you think you were doing coming after me?
* Angela tilts her head at him.
<Angela> "Saving your ass."
* Angela closes her lips and tosses some twigs into the flame.
<Chad`Winters> By diving into something you have no clue about?
* Angela shrugs and stokes the fire.
<Chad`Winters> Give me your knife. 6He holds his hand out.
* Angela hands it over.
<DeathStar> NRP: *he stabs her in the eye*
* Chad`Winters grabs the knife, obviously the most pissed he's ever been this entire period of hell. He uses it to slowly cut his tact suit, which doesnt' resist at all.
* Angela doesn't say anything, working on some shellfish they had from the previous day.
* Chad`Winters finishes cutting his upper body tact suit off and tosses it on a log. He moves over to the beach and kneels down, quickly washing his wounds out with the salt water
* Angela finally, starts scooping the black stuff off her skin.
* Angela remains perfectly quiet, as though mute again.
* Chad`Winters quickly moves back to the log with his suit and he cuts out a small section of it
* Angela holds out the cloth from her shirt.
* Chad`Winters stabs a small hole into the bottom of the strip and holds it above one of his wounds, then squeezes it, a small black liquid oozes out and onto the wound
* Angela looks at some of the black stuff in her hand.
<Chad`Winters> 6It suddenly burns her hand off...Just kidding, but who knows what an alien substance could do to one's skin.
* Angela scoops more of it off and sighs, cleaning as best she can without water, before heading back to the shallows.
* Chad`Winters clenches his hand on the log as he continues to treat his wounds, his face contorting in pain
* Angela starts to clean herself off with the shallow water, cleaning out her hair, shaking it out. She looks over at Chad and quickly hides a sympathetic look.
* Chad`Winters finishes and he sits on the bench, using this time to regather his breath. His hand idley moves to his ribs, the exact spot he was injured at when they first arrived here.
* Angela looks over him, sitting down next to him. "Anything I can do?"
<Chad`Winters> Not a damn thing. 6He closes his eyes as he sits there.
<Angela> "Thank you."
* Angela looks down at the sand.
<Chad`Winters> For what. 6He takes a deep breathe than clenches his fist on his knife and suddenly drives it into his thigh, his teeth clenching.
* Angela blinks, looking at his thigh.
<Angela> "...For... pulling me out..."
* Chad`Winters takes deep breathes then pulls the knife out, the wound sealing up from the liquid in his tact suit.
<Angela> "I found some leaves... they numb...." *stares*
* Chad`Winters slides down the log and onto the sand, he tosses the blade to the side as he moves his hand away from his side
* Angela looks at him, not speaking any more, but looking for acknowledgement as to if he wants them or not.
<Chad`Winters> I'm fine. 6His voice is still filled with anger.
* Angela tilts her head to the side. "Why are you so angry...?"
<Chad`Winters> Because I'm in pain.
* Angela sighs at him and gets up, coming back with the leaves, she looks at him, "Then we numb it."
<Chad`Winters> I'm fine, I said. 6He growls at her.
<Angela> "You said you're in pain."
<Chad`Winters> How observant. 6He let's out a deep breath as he lays against the log. A cloud passes over them.
* Angela wraps the unused cloth around her hand and breaks a leaf, sticking it in the cloth she starts with his thigh, "I tested the stuff, you were over the pain by the time I found this stuff before."
* Chad`Winters grabs her hand, his face twitching in pain. 1"I said I'm fine."
<Angela> "Quit being a baby."
* Angela looks at him seriously, her eyes filled with concern for him.
<Chad`Winters> I'd stab you right now but I foolishly threw the knife out of my reach.
<Angela> "Too bad for you."
* Angela tries to apply it again.
* Chad`Winters goes to stop her but finds he's too exhausted to move.
* Angela applies the numbing leaves, moving to his chest after. Not speaking anymore, when she sees his pains subsided enough, she stops and sits next to him.
* Chad`Winters just sits there, his eyes closed weither he feels the pain or not he doesn't show on his face anymore.
* Angela remains quiet, looking at him from time to time.
<Chad`Winters> Get it over with and say it.
<Angela> "Say what?" She says quietly, as though she was falling asleep.
<Chad`Winters> Whatever the hell it is you want to say, otherwise move away from me.
<Angela> "Thanks for saving me..."
* Chad`Winters grunts in response, he rests his head against the log.
<Angela> "And... I guess you're okay."
<Chad`Winters> We're running out of water. 6He states simply.
<Angela> "Pray for rain?"
<Chad`Winters> We've got about another 3 days worth of water. 8 if we ration it right.
<Angela> "Let's ration then, the longer we hold out the better the chance for rain or better, rescue."
* Angela lays back a bit and closes her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> You're also going to have to gather the food for awhile.
* Angela makes a small sound of acknowledgement.
* Chad`Winters 's breathing begins to go rythmic, he's apparently asleep
* Angela drifts off beside him.
<DeathStar> 6* And so it becomes night
<Chad`Winters> 6A light breeze flies by Angela', causing her hair to blow gently
* Angela stirs a little, opening her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6It's night time, the stars are out bright.
<Chad`Winters> 6The fire crackles infront of her
* Angela sits up and yawns, rubbing her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6The tree's sway from the breeze
<Chad`Winters> 6As she fnishes rubbing her eyes, she'd find that Chad's no where near by
* Angela sighs and looks over the fire, adding to the flames, laying down by it and thinking to herself.
<Chad`Winters> 6A comet streaks by in the sky
* Angela looks up at it and sighs, quietly feeling out for her Dragoon again.
<Chad`Winters> 6Another comet suddenly comes streaking by again.
* Angela blinks and sits up, "A shower...?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Another comes by, this time slowing down?
* Angela feels out again in hope.
<Chad`Winters> 6The comet suddenly stops in it's track.
* Angela stands, staring at it. <Sera...?>
* Chad`Winters stands at the far side of the beach, and up into the sky at the comet.
<Chad`Winters> 6A Hyperspace portal suddenly opens up.
* Angela walks over to stand next to him. "I hope that's rescue."
<Chad`Winters> Whatever it is, they found something intriguing on this planet.
* Angela watches quietly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Something streaks along the sky, burning up as it enters orbit.
* Angela watches still. <Sera...?>
<Chad`Winters> 6The object suddenly begins to arc towards them, the fire trail disappearing
<Angela> "Whatever it is... it's headed this way."
<Chad`Winters> 6The object begins slowing down, quickly comign into view. It's a shuttle of some sort
<Angela> "We got lucky.... I think."
<Chad`Winters> 6The shuttle comes flying in and lands. Moments later two humanoids come down with guns in their hand. 1"Who are you?"
<Chad`Winters> 6And so Chad explains and they listen.
* Angela remains quiet beside him the whole time.
<Chad`Winters> 6Time Change. Two two are on a Mining Ship, Chad sits in the medical bay, getting treated.
* Angela sits nearby, she's been quiet since they got saved, resting in the jump suit she was graciously given to cover her near nudity.
<Chad`Winters> 6Doesn't remember gming that.
<Angela> * Unless you wanted ANgela near naked.
<Chad`Winters> 6I'm sure the crew did.
<Chad`Winters> So you'll drop us off at at a space port than?
* Angela sighs then, near naked still. Cold as hell.
<Chad`Winters> <Captain> Yes, as long as you pay us for the inconvenience.
<Chad`Winters> I'll wire you the money when we dock..
* Angela looks at Chad, and sighs a little.
<Chad`Winters> 6The captain nods. 1"Well dock in a day. The ensign will show you to your quarters.
* Angela shivers a little and stands, "Thank you.

<DeathStar> Famfrit Saga 4
<DeathStar> Location: ????
<DeathStar> 6* Having been transported into a dreamstate realm, Megumi, Ariel, and Zephyr would find themselves on a barren floating rock in the middle of what appears to be hyperspace itself. While, typically this would be impossible, it seems that is the case here. Other than that, the barren rock is about the size of a football field, and supports only what appears to be human sized crystal on the far side.
<Kit> Megumi groans, not moving for a moment, then rises to her feet. In three seperate places.
<Kit> The most accustomed Megumi seems relatively normal, but shakes slightly, rubbing her eyes and yawning quietly. As she takes in her surroundings she hops back a moment, breathlessly gasping.
<Kit> The second seems a bit off, if she were a human she'd look considerably less her age, perhaps eight at the most, a bit rounder and shorter in stature than she already was. She looks around and twitches idly at the other Megumi, before blinking at a rumbling to her right.
* Ariel looks around. Confused. She sees Megumi. Three Megumis. Well... that doesn't surprise her. Much. She goes wide eyed upon seeing Zephyr, looking stunned.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is like a child. She sits there, almost as if she were deafand mute.
<Kit> The third is much like the first in size and such, but her hair is a dishevled mess, only one of her eyes peering about in a crazed manner, obviously not taking to the surroundings well. She bears the faux tail of crystal design and begins twitching spaztically, seeming about to go insane as she might in any other situation.
<Kit> The child-sized Megumi stares with disdain. "How unpleasant."
<Kit> The would-be normal clasps her hands together and steps backward, stumbling off her feet. "Wh-wh-what's g-going on..!?"
<Kit> The bestial designed seems to lunge for the two of her counterparts before light filters about her in many places, the wrists and arms, like winding vines at first, then solidifies, yanking her straight to the ground. With the sound of a bell, the light becomes black and white beads of glass.
<DeathStar> 6* As they all stand around, another Zephyr is standing there. She looks older, and is dressed in all black. She seems quite unfriendly. Infact, her killing intent is clear.
<Kit> While nothing special to look at, the savage lass doesn't seem to be able to lift them as if they were the weight of tons. She thrashes in vain for a while, then lies there heaving frantically.
<Kit> Standing behind, over her after she's fallen, is a petite girl dressed in all manners of lace, skirts and petticoats, all various shades of white and cream. In a strange way, she looks similar to Megumi, with the pale, colourless hair strewn with ribbons and the striking tawny eyes.
<Kit> But unlike the one at her feet, she is smiling gently, eyes relaxed in a somewhat lazy fashion, not in the least bit sharp or lined with mal intent.
<Kit> Her eyes slide closed as she giggles. "I think that one's interfered quite enough for this time."
* Ariel is beside herself as well. Though, the difference is much less drastic. One Ariel wears a simple skirt and blouse, much like she would normally. The other, stressed in armour. "...where is this..." "...this is not the afterlife." They notice each other and stare.
<Kit> The childish Megumi stares between her binded counterpart, the pair of Ariels, the doll-like Zephyr and the white-clad one and rubs her head, frowning, but says nothing.
<Kit> The clumsy one rises to her feet and shifts uneasily from foot to foot. It seems like asking again would be frivolous, but her curiousity remains at the moment. "...Where am I? Who are... all of you?"
<Ariel> 6* The normal Ariel looks around, "...could someone explain all of this?" 6She's hopeful, because she hasn't a clue.
<Kit> The white dressed girl steps past the bound savage and opens her arms widely, giggling again. "I'm not willing to tell you everything, that would take the fun out of this."
<DeathStar> <Older Zephyr> We should kill her and end this nonsense.
<Kit> "I'm afraid that would have very little promise."
<Kit> White "But I will say that I will enjoy watching what happens when your very cores are revealed to one another."
<Ariel> 6* The armoured Ariel looks to the white clad girl. "You can start with telling us something." 6She has her attention focused on the girl, as SHE knows what's on here.
<Kit> Child Megumi "That would be ideal."
<Kit> Older Megumi "...Y-yeah!"
<Kit> The white-gowned girl's hand raises, pointing limply to the far end of the barren platform, toward the crystal formation. "Why don't you see for yourselves?"
<DeathStar> 6* The adult Zephyr points. "We're not playing your games."
<Kit> "Game...? Oh no." She laughs softly behind her hands.
<Kit> "Consider this an apology, or a thank you, for accepting my vendetta on that dark world."
<Ariel> 6* The 'normal' Ariel goes to investigate.
<Kit> Childish Megumi "...It seemed right to me."
<Kit> Older Megumi "H-how can you say that?! L-look what became of.. h-home!"
<Kit> The smaller Megumi turns to her elder with an irritated look. "Why not be quiet and go cry in a corner."
<Ariel> 6* Armoured Ariel keeps her eyes on the interloper.
<DeathStar> 6* Adult Zephyr makes no moves to investigate anything
<Kit> The 'interloper' clasps her hands behind her and smiles, eyes closed. She remains still and quiet.
<Ariel> 6* A shadowy Ariel form, previously unnoticed as she's pretty insubstancial, walks over to poke the beastial Megumi. She tilts her head with an empty look on her face.
<Kit> The bound version snarls in response, but cannot move in the least from her rather fixated situation.
<Kit> The girl standing aside, peers at the shadow in curiousity.
<Kit> Girl "We will not have any trouble with you, shall we?"
<DeathStar> 6* As the normal Ariel makes it 1/4th of the way, the ground cracks in front of her and splits to form a crevice that seems to span 15 feet.
<Kit> Childish Megumi exchanges words with her elder self which ends up with the older one backing away and quieting, looking troubled.
<Kit> The two then look to the girl in white, and begin to follow "normal" Ariel.
<Ariel> 6* The shadow ignores the girl, currently satistified to 'play' with the kitty. She pokes that megumi in the nose.
<Kit> Bestial's mouth snaps at her hand, not reaching close enough.
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel eyes the gap, then looks back at the others. She backs up, trying to get enough running space.
<Kit> Childish Megumi "What are you doing..?"
<Kit> She squints at the one attempting to jump.
<Ariel> Normal Ariel "Do you have a better idea?"
<Kit> She nods in annoyance. "Of course I do."
<Kit> Then holds her hand out, trying to concentrate on something. Yet after a few seconds, she seems even more irritated, nothing happening.
<Kit> Timid "...It doesn't work?"
<Ariel> 6* Shadow continues sitting right next to beast Megumi, tapping her on the nose.
<Kit> Child "...Be quiet!"
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel waits for the child to try her thing
<Kit> Bestial freaks out, tugging on her bonds in frenzy, prone to Shadow's chinese torture.
<Ariel> 6* Armored Ariel narrows her eyes at the girl in white, "Is this your idea of a joke?"
<Ariel> 6* Shadow Ariel moves on to poking beast in the teeth, smiling at her.
<Kit> The girl in white wanders slowly, yet with languid, fluid motions past the knight, not answering, to those at the fissure and peers at the opening.
<Kit> Girl "I imagine you're wondering why you can't make those precious crystals of yours, right?"
<Kit> Child turns to her, narrowing her eyes.
<Kit> Girl "Well, of course you can't. The only things that can manifest here are your deepest feelings and connections to that whom we seek to meet."
<Kit> "Well, that and what their heart desires to create, or uncreate."
<DeathStar> 6* The adult Zephyr follows the girl, not letting her out of her sight. She tries to form her gun.
<Kit> Child "How quaint."
<Ariel> 6* Armoured Ariel follows the girl, much like adult Zephyr
<Kit> The timid one backs away for a moment and gazes off to the right, thinking intently it seems. After a moment, a tiny flower forms from crystal, yet then withers somehow and dies away.
<Ariel> 6* The shadow just torments
<Kit> Child seems ready to punch her elder. "Why can -you- do that?"
<Kit> The girl in white giggles. "She is more in touch with her true self, I would imagine. Too bad it seems this realm is not fond of her for now."
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel decides to make a break for it and try to jump it.
<Kit> The girl in white slowly lifts from the 'ground' with little to no personal movement, and slowly begins making her way across, turned in such a way that she levitates sideways, keeping an eye on the 'children in the garden.'
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel barely makes it, but then begins to slip, since she landed on the edge
<Kit> The gliding girl gives her a gentle push, then lands herself and looks back.
<Kit> The two Megumi's just stare. "...Jump... that?"
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel flops on the ground, just glad to have not fallen to her death
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... this is insane. 6She says coldly. She glances back at her other self still sitting there.
<Kit> Girl "I would not blame you for giving up. However, I needn't remind you that this is of no consequence to me. I am merely returning a favor the little kitten did for me."
<Kit> The childish Megumi glares and jerks slightly, then turns and goes back a ways, getting a total dash to leap.
<Kit> The timid one looks far less sure, but slowly begins making a pathway of rather... small crystal stones.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow sits on beast, pulling at her lips and making faces with Megumi's mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hmphs, not moving to cross.
<Kit> 7* The bestial Megumi is not entertained and continues trying to bite the Shadow, her fingernails clench into her palms at times, scratching herself. Eventually she sits there patiently awaiting a time to eat the shadow when she's free, tail lashing madly.
<DeathStar> NRP: AAAH
<Kit> 6* The bestial Megumi is not entertained and continues trying to bite the Shadow, her fingernails clench into her palms at times, scratching herself. Eventually she sits there patiently awaiting a time to eat the shadow when she's free, tail lashing madly.
<DeathStar> 6* The doll Zephyr sits and watches Shadow and Beastie
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel pulls herself to her feet, continuing onward to the mysterious crystal
<DeathStar> 6* The next 1/2th of the area grows wild thorns, sharp and high, with no way through but to traverse through the briar patch itself.
<Kit> The girl in white smiles and begins making her own... well, unfair path around and over them.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow looks Beast in the eyes, expressionless. Then smiles. She waits for the slimmest of opertunities... and then grabs her tongue.
<Kit> The child Megumi frowns, beginning a rather reckless trek right into them, unconcerned for a while that she's tearing herself up, but then realizes she's without her focusing abilities and is getting fairly wounded, then begins to carefully continue.
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel begins to push through, not worried that her clothes will be torn up, or she'll be cut.
<Kit> Timid makes the slowest progress, trying to injure herself the least, completely paranoid.
<Ariel> 6* Armoured Ariel follows towards the rear, concerned what the mysterious girl might do to the others
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks along, using Armor Ariel as her shield.
<DeathStar> 6* The thorns show no mercy.
<Kit> Timid "...Th-this is t-terrible..."
<Kit> Child "Shut up and keep walking."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I hate these games.
<DeathStar> 6* She says despite taking no injuries.
<Kit> Child "You hate everything."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Kit> Timid "Th...Th-that wasn't very ni--"
<Kit> Child "Shut... UP."
<Ariel> 6* Armoured Ariel pushes ahead, past Normal and the Megumi's... it's not right for all of them to be taking the beating. She forces through to make a path
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks along.
<Kit> The two Megumis blink and file in.
<Kit> Child "..."
<Kit> Timid "...Th-thanks.."
<Ariel> 6* Armoured Ariel nods.
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel is reluctant... but she's not as tough. So eventually falls in line
<DeathStar> 6* They escape the briar patch, not unscatched. Well, two of them. But the other three didn't. Oh, and the creepy girl did, too.
<DeathStar> 6* The final stretch of the way seems uncleared to the human size crystal
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel hurries ahead, once clear
<Kit> Child continues to walk at her decidedly brisk pace, but the timid Megumi begins to race after Normal.
<DeathStar> 6* As they near the crystal, Erevis steps out in front of them. Her eyes are unnatural, much like Wind's was even in human mode. But, despite this, she looks the same as she always does. Behind her, another Erevis sleeps in the crystal.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Enough.
<Kit> Timid "E-E-Erevis!"
<Ariel> 6* Normal Ariel stares, "...E-Erevis...?"
<Kit> Child "So that's what this place is?"
<Ariel> 6* Armoured Ariel looks at the girl, thinking this is some sort of trick.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. You are in my soul.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the girl. "This is just getting ridiculous.
<Kit> The girl in white sits, on nothing, lounging leisurely in the air as if she were in a hammock.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow Ariel grabs Beast's tail, and tries to drag her around by it.
<DeathStar> 6* Doll Zephyr watches.
<Kit> The bestial whimpers loudly, being yanked on, but the binds don't move even to suggest they're mobile in the slightest.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow pulls harder, not understanding why she doesn't move. She wants to play in the briars!
<Kit> Bestial "...reeeEEEEOOOOWWWWwwwrrr!"
<Ariel> Normal Ariel> "But... why? None of this makes any sense..."
<Kit> Timid "...S-s-...s-soul... This is...?" She looks around. "... miss Erevis..."
<DeathStar> 6* The other Erevis stands there, lacking any sort of emotion on her face. "She brought you here." 6She indicates the girl.
<Kit> The girl in white just smiles, at the group, remaining seperated.
<Kit> Child "So you couldn't hack it, huh?"
<Kit> The bite-sized Megumi moves close enough that she's not being overshadowed by the older sorts. "This is your answer to the way things are?"
<DeathStar> 6* The other Erevis just stares at them, apparantly not comprehending hack it, or not caring. "Please leave now."
<Kit> Timid "...M-Megum--" She pauses, considering the concept.
<Kit> Child "How ridiculous. I thought you were stronger than this."
<Kit> Timid "Megumi!"
<Ariel> Normal> "But... why...? Why would we want to leave you...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have me mistaken. I am Erevis' true personality. 6She presses her hand against her own chest. "I am her Progenitor self. I have no emotions to appeal toward. Erevis locked away the humanity that was forced upon her so she could fuction again."
<Kit> Child "What's your point? I never met the Progenitor self. In that sense, I don't care about you one bit, but you're a part of Erevis, just like I am a part of myself."
<Kit> Child "The way you handle things disgusts me."
<Kit> Timid turns as well, finding her ability to restrain her other self rather in vain. "...Th-then can we speak to the other?! I... I ..."
<Ariel> Armoured> *continues forward, figuring that talking won't resolve this*
<Kit> Timid toes at the ground, holding her hands behind her. She acts more childish than the bite-sized one.
<Kit> Timid "...I... st-still need her..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are correct. I am part of Erevis, but the humanity is not part of me. It is a mask; a false persona. 6She repels the armored self as if she has psionics at her proposal. "And you cannot defeat me in my own heart."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And, I have never liked lying.
<Kit> Child "Oh really?"
<Kit> Timid "P...Please... I ...want to see her... a-again."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She does not wish to see you, child.
<Kit> Child "...Then am I a false persona? Is the beast in me fake?"
<Ariel> Normal> "...why...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can only imagine, if you do not value your lives very much, she does not eitehr.
<Ariel> Armoured> *grunts as she's knocked back* "...you're lucky there's a different between lying and being wrong."
<Ariel> Shadow> *tries to break the bonds on Beast*
<Kit> Child "People are capable of change and growth. There is never a single facet to a living being. The only part of Erevis that might be fake is the one that rejects any manner of change."
<Kit> 6The bestial one blinks. Confused.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that so?
<Ariel> Armored> "...they cannot have their proper conversation with only half of you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmmmmhm. 6She tilts her head slightly. "How trite. As I said, your emotional appeals cannot work on me."
<Ariel> Armored> *tries to push forward again*
<Ariel> Normal> "I... I don't get it... I don't understand..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis repels the Armored once. "What is there to understand? Should you not simply end your own life again? That is the easier route to face with a crisis."
<Ariel> Armoured> "......"
<Ariel> Normal> *cringes*
<Kit> Child "It's effective."
<Kit> Timid sniffs. "...I w-want to talk to E-Erevis..."
<Kit> The girl in white shifts, lying on her stomach in the air now, chin on her interlocked hands, watching intently.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems unmoved by their words.
<Kit> The sappy Megumi turns and holds her hands to her chest, appealing to the girl in white instead. "You move s-so freely here... C-can't you d-do anything about this!?"
<Kit> She giggles in reply, shaking her head. "I have no interest in that. What you do here is of your own whim-- It's not my place, even if I do fancy her similarities."
<Kit> Child "...Similarities?"
<Ariel> 6* Shadow keeps pulling at the binds... she can't do any new torments with the cat tied down.
<Ariel> Armored> "You say you are 'emotionless', then why are you doing this?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was not the one who sealed herself up. But I do not feel obliged to help you undo it. After all, a Progenitor with emotions is dangerous. Wind was an example of this.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are meant to judge order and fairness. Emotions compromise such intregrity
<Kit> Child "What good is integrity if you're dead?"
<Ariel> Armored> "You speak with resent."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Do I speak with resentment?
<Kit> Timid falls to the ground upon her knees, sobbing. "I-If E-Erevis and Ariel leave, I d-don't care..."
<Kit> The childlike one turns and scowls at her. "Oh shut up. You're no better with claims like that."
<Ariel> Armored> "There is no 'logic' in making scornful comments, and being painfully difficult and indirect. Not unless the purpose is to wound or mislead. And the later is not a logical or orderly path."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are a tiresome lot. If she does not desire you, then why force yourselves upon her?
<Kit> Child "I will not. If she has forsaken us, I don't care about her."
<Kit> Timid looks shocked.
<Kit> Child "A time ago, it was I who decided that because of these people, life was more precious than ending misery, and thus I've destroyed and destroyed to make sure that what I cherish isn't destroyed in turn."
<Kit> She narrows her eyes. "For that to be forgotten, I will forget in turn."
<Kit> Timid "Y-You shut up! There's no w-way I can forget!"
<Ariel> Armored> "Frustration is not logical or orderly."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there impassively as they talk
<Kit> Timid becomes... Frantically timid, but grabs her other self's shoulders and shakes her rather violently. There's no malintent behind it, but with greater size she has the leverage to do so.
<Kit> As the child shakes, she growls back, "Quit bothering me! There's no reason for me to care if we've been abandoned again!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Funny. I would have thought you abandoned first. 6She looks at Ariel. It just seems like an average statement, as if she could care less
<Kit> Timid "Th-that's not how it works...!"
<Kit> She stops shaking the child, who wobbles with an irritated expression, and looks to the Erevis present. "I-It doesn't matter h-how many times something b-breaks in these cases... A-as long as... we're..."
<Kit> She lets go of her other self. "As long as w-we're side-by-side, we... h-have to p-pick up the pieces and h-help one another m-move on!"
<Ariel> Armoured> "Why don't you explain the situation? There's no logic not to. You have nothing to lose, and you waste more time and energy holding it back. It's painfully obvious that you're hurt, even if you deny it."
<Kit> Child "She did explain. Thanks to your brilliant ideas, she no longer cares about us."
<Kit> A rather resonate sound of impact sends her faltering back to the ground. "Timid" pants after twisting and punching her flat in the cheek.
<Ariel> Armored> "......"
<Kit> She turns with an utterly bewildered look of enlightening experience. "...I... I..." gasp. "I m-may have n-no room to t-talk... I know myself the l-least of anyone... b-but..."
<Kit> "I w-won't believe th-this is the way things are m-meant to be..."
<Ariel> Normal> *basically... snaps. Again. She runs at the crystal. Half expecting to be pushed away... but she won't stop for that. She'll keep trying*
<Kit> For once, the child self is quiet.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds up her hand, physically grabbing the normal Ariel.
<Kit> The girl in white's eyes widen, her smile broadening.
<Ariel> Normal> *struggles. She's desperate... she doesn't have a plan, but she has to keep trying*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her in place. "Show some honor and just stop."
<Kit> Timid "M-miss... A-Ariel..." heave. "... M-maybe she was wrong... B-but she... only did it ...b-because of the way... sh-she was connected to m-miss Erevis... I-if m-miss.. Erevis did the same in response... then this is... t-too sad!"
<Ariel> Normal> "I... I don't care about that! I... I just..." *struggles to break free*
<Kit> Her hands clench at the air, forming her zanbato, the slowest manifest since she's met the group, but it is forming.
<Kit> The childish version scrambles backward in fright for once. "This is... insanity. What is wrong with you people?"
<Ariel> Armored> *moves between Timid and Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets Normal Ariel go. "... What do you hope to accomplish? The crystal will not break unless she wants it to break."
<Kit> Timid seems very unconcerned, since her eyes aren't on the one who has been barring their path, but the crystal as the Progenitor seems to understand. This version has no interest in attacking anyone, just... determined.
<Ariel> Normal> *falls to the ground, then scrambles towards the crystal. She just falls against it, crying...
<Kit> Timid "...I h-hope for n-nothing more than what will make E-Erevis h-happy... But since... I cannot speak to her, all I can do is... h-hope that I can send my feelings to her... Hope that she returns them."
<Kit> She cries loudly, clearly more 'immature' than the childself. "I always wanted her to, someday!"
<DeathStar> 6* The other Erevis stands there, watching all of them.
<Kit> The childish self sighs gently, looking away. "I don't approve, but either way, we've all given up on finding a lonely place of dying."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And how can you reach someone who can no longer hear you? It's illogical.
<Ariel> Normal> *cries* "...I... I'm sorry... I didn't want to hurt you... I never wanted to hurt you... I just... didn't want to go on... if you two were to be dead..."
<Kit> Timid is losing her unconfidence. "Like I told her before... Love was never meant to be logical."
<Ariel> 6* Shadow pulls at the bonds, inadvertently tightening them around beastie... or maybe that's the plan?
<Kit> Child "Love is purely illogical."
<Kit> Timid "If this is a world of cold logic, then that's exactly what I want!"
<Kit> She begins walking toward the crystal, since she can't manage to lift the very weapon she's created very well.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Kit> She pauses at the base of the crystal and pants heavily, looking to "normal Ariel."
<Ariel> Normal> *looks up, clinging to the crystal prison*
* Kit nods and strains horrendously digging her feet. It takes her whole being to lift the unruly zanbato of crystal and with anything she has, she slams it into the encasing.
<Kit> The childish self stares. Meanwhile, 'beastie' starts howling and mewling, complaining whole-heartedly about this pain in the neck pulling her every which way.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow wishes she had some knives... for the ropes or kitty? Oh, does it really matter...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal gets a slight crack
<Kit> She seems encouraged, but it took too much to do it like that. She looks longingly to "normal."
<Kit> Timid "...H-help... p-please..?"
<Ariel> Normal> *nods with a sniffle, to help Timid with the blade... she doesn't have a weapon of her own*
<Kit> She steps aside, the oversized 'horseslayer' has plenty of hilt room for two or three to assist.
<Kit> Timid "I...I-I'm not s-strong enough alone..."
<Ariel> Normal> "...I... I'll try..."
<Kit> The girl in white seems to be frowning slightly, not angry, but bothered by something.
<Kit> Timid nods, and then, with Normal's help, attempts another whack at it, so to speak.
<Kit> The childish version goes and sits beside the non-feeling Progenitor.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis forms a green scythe. "Enough."
<Kit> The childish looks upward at the scythe. "So you mean to interfere after all?"
<Ariel> Armored> "You said it could not be done. Leave them be."
<Kit> The child version smiles at Armored. "Better still, she said it could not be done unless Erevis wanted."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* Stands there. "I cannot allow you to confuse her anymore than you already have done so. Her emotions all interfere."
<Kit> Timid "I won't stop! Not for anything!"
<Kit> Child "I'm confused, 'Erevis.'"
<Kit> Child "Is her worst fear, I heard once, becoming like Wind? Wasn't Wind a progenitor? What's wrong with being human, then?"
<Ariel> Normal> *gathers her strength to swing again, ignoring the other Erevis*
<Kit> Timid drags with her... lack of might. "Heave!!"
<Ariel> Normal> *just swings... too choked up to say anything in responce*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Wind was taken by his emotions. 6* The crystal cracks again. Erevis dashes at them, rearing back to swing.
<Ariel> Armoured> *moves into Erevis' way, but does nothing more than use herself as a roadblock*
<Kit> The childlike reaches out, attempting to grab her leg. Would probably just get dragged along.
<Kit> Child "Yes, because he felt, probably as a Progenitor, that he was justified in judging things like that, and never himself. What is best for Erevis? For you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses the scythe inches from Armored Ariel's throat. "You believe I will not do so? You think I have some emotions that hold me back?"
<Kit> Child "You're only half of the person we love. But of 'Erevis,' I have no doubts."
<Ariel> Armored> "...you already seem to wish me dead, but I won't let you hurt them."
<Kit> The childish version slinks away from Ereviswholacksthings and slings around Armored, hugging her leg inside, from the placement of her hands, crystal begins forming about, mending with the version's armor. "...And I won't let you hurt her. Her strength I've longed to match."
<DeathStar> <Eevis> ....
<Ariel> Normal> *pulls back the sword again... damn thing was heavy
<Kit> Timid "Again!"
<Ariel> Normal> *SWINGS!*
<Ariel> Armoured> *stands in the way*
<Ariel> Shadow> *POKES!*
<Kit> Child> *reinforces Armord*
<Kit> Beast> *snarls*
<Ariel> Shadow> *hugs beast*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to attack...next time on The Alien Wars Z!

<DeathStar> 6* Erevis swings the green scythe straight for Armored's throat
<Ariel> Armoured> *blocks with her arms... yes. They have armour on them too. She's not INSANE*
<Kit> Child version tries to focus on crystal reinforcement to help.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a step back, then twirls and strikes again for the gut, aiming to pierce the armor and reinforcement
* Kit yanks Armor Ariel's leg, to get her out of the way.
<Ariel> Armoured> *looses balance and falls*
<Ariel> Normal> *swings the hugeass sword at the crystal
<Kit> Timid keeps trying as well.
<Kit> The childish one scrambles over the top of armour Ariel, quickly trying to put a spire between them and scythe-Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis swings, breaking the spire. "Pointless."
<Kit> Child "Perhaps to a Progenitor. Wind told me that as well, when we wind to stop him."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps over the spire, then swings donwward at Armored Ariel, or the child, if she doesn't move.
<Kit> The child version twists and jams her hand up into the scythe, letting it impale through, just so her fingers can clutch where the blade meets the staff, refusing to let it go downward enough. "...Gh.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... why save her?
<Kit> Child "That's what people who share the same ideals do."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You share the same ideals?
<Ariel> Armoured> "..."
<Kit> She takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly. That did NOT feel good.
<Ariel> Normal> *is getting tired... still she brings back the sword* "...again..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks the scythe back.
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal takes little damage each time.
<Ariel> Armoured> *gets up, taking a posistion between Child and Erevis*
<Kit> She clutches to it stubbornly, getting jerked as well, to her feet, where she pulls back on it, bleeding profusely.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis spins the child, so that she'll ram into Armored.
<Kit> Child "She might hate me... I've done terrible things. My methods might be perverse in her eyes... But... We share the same end result, I beli--ahh!"
<Ariel> Armoured> *does her best to cushion the blow for Child*
<Ariel> Shadow> *pats beast* "...I'll be back..." *wanders off*
<Kit> Being the projectile, it's hard to cushion her, and either way she crumples, eventually getting up, clutching her bloody pierced hand, raspily trying not to cry.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis yanks back again on the scythe, ready to drag the child around more.
<Ariel> Normal> *takes a deep breath, and swings again*
<Kit> And dragged she is, not having time to discuss much more while being ragdolled.
<Ariel> Armored> *moves in to block Erevis' arms with her forearms so she can't swing*
<Kit> Timid "Miss Erevis...! Please!"
<Kit> Timid unisonly slams the oversized crystal blade again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes the Armored Ariel, her eyes blazing with energy.
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal stubbornly persists in existing, with only slight cracks appearing.
<Kit> Child "Man I could use sake about now..."
<Ariel> Armoured> *winces* "...sake?"
<Ariel> 6* Shadow returns with some pieces of briar
<Kit> Child "I don't remember drinking it... And that's the idea..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis twists her body so she slides her own body right next to Armored Ariel's. And so close that her arms will have trouble stopping her.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow sniffs the briar, then holds it in front of beastie's nose, "...tastey..."
<Kit> 6* Beast Megumi blinks blankly. Then sneezes.
<Ariel> 6* Armoured is right next to Erevis. That's too close to effectively swing a polearm. She stays at that range.
<Ariel> 6* Normal keeps assaulting the crystal, crying again. "...please... Erevis... please..."
<Kit> The childish Megumi flails, then yanks her hand off the curved blade, crying out for a moment.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow puts a pieces of briar into Beastie's mouth
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly twists her legs down, sliding her leg around ARiel's leg, then tries to trip hetr.
<Kit> 6* Beast Megumi chokes, but then decides the best way to deal with is to actually... eat... it...
<Kit> The childish Megumi flails to grab Erevis in some kind of pathetic hug.
<Ariel> 6* Armored feels her legs coming out from under her, and locks them around Erevis' leg as she falls
<Kit> Timid meanwhile learns what it means to be a lumberjack.
<Kit> Timid "Erevis! I'm not going anywhere without you again!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lands on top of Armored, twisting so she stares at her face to face.
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal cracks a little more. One would wonder if they'll give out before it does.
<Ariel> Armored> "..."
<Kit> Child-sized Megumi clutches Scythe-Erevis. "..."
<Ariel> 6* Normal will break herself before she gives up... that's how she is
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Ariel> 6* Shadow watches beastie eat the briar, stunned. And gives her another.
<Kit> 6* Beast Megumi twitches irritably, continuing to eat them just so she doesn't choke-- chewing well.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow stares.
<Kit> Timid pants, taking a moment. Eventually her eyes fall on the pyramid of people. "...Ariel... This is her realm, right? ...Could we try that scythe?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reforms the scythe into a dagger, then stabs down at Armored's face. There's no anger in her actions. She's cold. Very cold.
<Kit> Childish blinks and pulls up on Erevis' chest trying to at least help prevent that.
<Ariel> Armored> *Grabs Erevis' wrist. She can do that still*
<Ariel> Normal> *hesitates* "...we'd have to get it away from her..."
<Kit> Timid "...F-four to one?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses as the child grabs her chest.
<Kit> She sighs, falling to a knee, catching her breath. "..If only I had strength."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rears her head at the Child.
<Ariel> 6* Normal looks at Timid, then nods, and heads over to the fight.
<Kit> Timid runs over as well, albeit a bit slower.
<Kit> Childish grunts as she gets headbutted
<Ariel> 6* Armoured tries to pin Erevis
<Kit> Childish retreats, trying to clutch ScytheErevis' legs.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow flops against beastie with a 'WTF now?' look
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains.
<Kit> 6* Beast Megumi likewise gives a 'WTF you flopping on me' look.
<Kit> Timid approaches, unsurely trying to find a disarming approach, then settles for trying to grab at least an arm.
<Ariel> Normal> *grabs Erevis' hand, and trys to wrench the blade from her grasp, without... damaging, her*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, then contact with her begins to burn them. Is she going into a Progenitor form?
<Kit> Both Megumis wince, focusing on restructuring where they touch to try and avoid releasing unless absolutely necessary, but keeping wary eyes. "G-Get it..."
<Ariel> Normal> *tries to break the blade away quickly, before they all burn up
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis uses the dagger, and it turns back into a round green ball.
<DeathStar> *loses
<Ariel> Normal> *grabs the ball*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis breaks free suddenly, standing up.
<Ariel> Armored> *rolls to her feet*
<Kit> Both Megumi's scramble away, trying to prepare for something, just... they don't know quite what.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow sighs boredly, and idly pets Beastie
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns toward Normal, and tackles her.
<Ariel> Normal> *curls in on herself and rolls with it, clutching the emerald... ball, closely.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Return it.
<Ariel> Normal> *curls up tighter* "...not... not until she's free..."
<Kit> Both Megumi's run by, the childish one going "Toss it!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis calmly rears back her hand amd nails Normal's pressure point that works her right arm
<Kit> The childish one veers and leaps to kick Erevis, the other moving in closer to Normal Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ow *falls back*
<Ariel> 6* Normal scrambles up, and darts towards the crystal. She concentrates on trying to form the ball into a sword
<Kit> Childish slides to a halt, forming up between Erevis and ...the other Erevis and Normal Ariel.
<Kit> The other Megumi holds her ground beside herself.
<Ariel> 6* Armored is burnt, but gets back in the way again
<Kit> With reinforcements, the timid Megumi turns and pants back after Normal Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* The ball forms the weapon of Ariel's soul
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up
<Ariel> Normal> *takes a breath, and slams the blade against the crystal... making sure it wouldn't hit Erevis if it actually cuts
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal is cut, but since she was so careful, it doesn't do much
<Ariel> Normal> *judges how deep the crystal is, and swings again*
<Ariel> Armored> *stands defiantly*
<Kit> Timid "...Make notches, maybe I could hit the center and break it apart then."
<Ariel> Shadow> *Looks in Beastie's mouth
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis punches at Armored.
<Kit> Child touches Armoured and starts to reinforce her.
<Ariel> Armored> *blocks with a crossguard, knocked back but standing
<Kit> 6* Beast Megumi coughs slightly, but has eaten the briars.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dashes past Armored in a split second.
<Kit> Childish Megumi does a childish thing, trying to step on Erevis' foot
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does an Erevis thing, and smashes Megumi's face in with her fist
<Kit> Childish Megumi goes down, but succeeded in delaying her!
<Ariel> Normal> *attempts to cut Erevis free before Erevis causes her great pain in about two seconds!
<Ariel> Armored> *does the most offensive thing she has, and attempts to tackle Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis falls back, wrapping her arms around Armor and then gets landed on.
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal is cut here and there, and a little bit over there.
<Kit> Timid Megumi turns, preparing her knuckles with crystal braces. The girl in white draws closer to the crystal.
<Ariel> Normal> *gives one more good stab, and then steps aside for Timid
<Ariel> 6* Shadow smiiiiiiles, and wipes her face off on Beastie.
<Kit> Timid "May I... borrow that?"
<Kit> 6* Beast Megumi huffs, she's beyond annoyance. This seal, this weird girl thing. Oy. The world is an oyster and she can't reach it.
<Ariel> Normal> *gives Timid the blade* "...she gets it back when she's free."
<Kit> Timid nods, envisioning her gauntlets instead. "Of course... It belongs to miss Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Armored. "Get off."
<Kit> "Like I said... Borrow."
<Ariel> Armored> "...no."
<Kit> She steps back slowly. "...If I can have Erevis back, I have no need of strength..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis punches her hand straight through Armored's chest where her heart should be
<Kit> Childish Megumi sits up, shaking her head, groaning. "...Man... ..."
<Kit> The girl in white blinks. "Oh, that's... a new one."
<Kit> Provided it shifts, timid Megumi eyes each of the marks made by "Normal" Ariel's hacking and focuses solely on it, rearing her hand back and taking a step as she's pressing forward, contacting.
<Kit> Childish Megumi meanwhile, stares in horror. "...A-Ariel!!"
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal begins to shatter bit by bit, spreading all over it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis removes her energy hand, then shoves Armored off with her normal hand.
<Kit> Timid rears her other hand, then strikes, screaming loudly, she's left-handed anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal breaks and Erevis flops out onto the jaggesd remains.
<Kit> Childish Megumi slides over to the Knight, trying to ...fix her. Hey, she could do it before, not caring one bit about the other Erevis.
<Kit> Timid "...E-Erevis!"
<Ariel> Normal> *moves to catch Erevis before she gets spiked*
<DeathStar> 6* Progenitor Erevis stands there, her hand glowing again. She punches down at the child, aiming to take her out in one blow, too
<Kit> She's focusing entirely on her wound-reparation. Time is of the essence, even though it seems it's not 'reality' and maybe 'organs' aren't so much there as perceived. Without turning she mumbles. "At least Wind believed in chances for redemption."
<Kit> "You're right, Erevis. You, or this half of you, is as cold as she wishes to be. I suppose I can see why that mouse would like the other so much."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis punches?
<Ariel> Normal> *hugs NotPsycho Erevis* "...I'm sorry Erevis... I'm sorry..."
<Kit> The only reason she might move is to avoid something 'fatal' enough to heal the knight longer. After all, that self only cared about the Armoured.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis indeed is arcing to take off her head. She's not playing around
<Kit> Timid kneels, setting the green sphere on the one they just released.
<DeathStar> 6* The more friendly and less cold hearted Erevis opens her green eyes. They're not all glowy.
<Ariel> Normal> *just hugs the Erevis that not trying to destroy her hand Megumi, crying*
<Kit> Perhaps not working as fast as she'd like, the instinct for survival kicks in, Chibi twists, sending her leg back into the Cold Erevis' knee, her left arm slaming against the inner arm to knock it away, though she takes a nice gash right up her side and across most of her chest to the collarbone, instantly soaking her clothing.
<Kit> Reacting to her connection to the knight rather than her selfish confidence, it has much more ability in it than her earlier flailing around like an eight year old.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Where are we?
<Kit> Chibi literally dragons Knight away from coldhearted Erevis with one hand, poised to defend, yet bleeding heavily.
<DeathStar> <Progenitor Erevis> TCH! 6* Falls back.
<Kit> When she falls back, the Chibi instantly kneels and places both hands, focusing on regenerating the knight before she passes out herself.
<Ariel> Normal> "We... I... I think we're... in your soul..." *doesn't know how the FUCK that works*
<Kit> The girl in white giggles above.
<Kit> Timid "...I'm not sure how it works but... You're... You're ...Erevis, right? Please! Don't... leave..."
<Ariel> Normal> *nearly collapses, resting her head on Erevis' shoulder* "...I'm sorry... I... I didn't want to hurt you..."
<Kit> Timid clutches the other shoulder. "I don't care if it makes sense or not... I want to be with you... So don't go away..."
<Kit> After rapidly closing the hole in knight's chest, Chibi collapses on top of her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She doesn't say anything for a moment. "You wished to die."
<DeathStar> 6* Progenitor stands up, focusing on the other Erevis. She stands there, looking rather unimpressed.
<Ariel> Normal> *sobs* "...I was stupid... I felt betrayed by Megumi... and I didn't want to go on if the two of you were to die..."
<Ariel> 6* Shadow looks to beastie, "...I think stabbing's always a good idea."
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> Yes. She wanted to die, and she did so in front of her child. How could you possibly wish to remain loyal to someone like that?
<Ariel> 6* Normal cringes again. The fact that Zephyr was there didn't even register at the time.
<Kit> Timid "...Zephyr..?"
<Kit> Timid suddenly looks around. It registers that the Zephyr that had followed them hadn't participated in this whole affair.
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, she's still there, arms crossed.
<Ariel> Normal> "...with... you two... going off to die... because of me... my best friends dying... and being my fault..."
<Ariel> Armored> *would be unimpressed, but she's unmoving instead
<Kit> Chibi's unmoving after closing up Armoured!
<Kit> The girl in white just smiles from above, a single foot kicking idly.
<Kit> 6Beast Megumi tilts her head at Shadow. She doesn't understand that in the least, not having the mind of a person with the ability for speech.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6*She tries to stand slowly. "So that is why you wished to die. Other people...did not matter?"
<DeathStar> 6* Doll Zephyr keeps watching.
<Kit> Timid rises as well, helping Erevis if that's necessary, but not letting go. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Progenitor sighs a little. "This is why emotions are a hinderence. The woman committed an unspeakable act, and yet you hestiate."
<Kit> Timid's lips tremble, but she snaps at Progenitor. "Sh-shut up!"
<Ariel> Normal> *closes her eyes* "...I didn't think... I couldn't think... it was too much..." *looks at Erevis* "...the idea of loosing to of the most important things to me... and be my fault..."
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> ... 6She just glances at Timid. "Then again, your actions drove the woman to commit suicide."
<Kit> She frowns more. "N-not... m... well..."
<Kit> She shakes her head quickly. "No... I won't shirk responsibility, even if it was the part of me you just... ..."
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> So you accept your sins?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts a hand to her head. "Be silent. We both know it was us that killed Katrina McCormick so that we might live. We feared inexistence. My sins are your sins, and yours are mine." 6* The Progenitor just pauses.
<Kit> "I will accept anything, if it means we don't need to be seperated again..."
<Kit> The timid version closes her eyes, taking a deep breath.
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> I refuse to be pushed aside for this false identity to take my place. 6She announces simply. It sounds like she won't let them go without a fight.
<Kit> 6* The confused beast version gradually fades away, and at the point of the crystal release, the timid opens her eyes again, looking a bit sullenly at the remaining fallen self.
<Ariel> Normal> "...for it to be my fault again, that my part..." *trails off* "...to be responcible for my two closest..." *shakes her head* "...I didn't derserve to be a mother if..."
<Ariel> 6* Shadow walks up and looks at Progenitor, being bored with beastie.
<Kit> A giggle sounds above. "Well, you figured out that much. Applause be to you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Progenitor glances up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow looks up, distracted.
<Kit> The white-dressed girl shakes her head. "Oh, don't mind me... I am just surprised at the child."
<Kit> Megumi opens her eyes. "...Surprised at this...? You said before that we are the reflection of our core... Perhaps mine is no longer whole..." She looks sullenly at the self remaining atop the armoured Ariel.
<Kit> "But if that is true, then I am no longer afraid of myself, broken or not."
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<Ariel> 6* Shadow walks over and looks Progenitor in the eyes
* ChanServ sets mode: -o Megumi
* Megumi chews something though, confused by an odd taste in her mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* Progenitor eyes Sahadow.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow stabs Progenitor and walks off. "Please stop being bitchy."
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> .... ....
<DeathStar> 6* She glances down at her wound,.
<Ariel> 6* Shadow didn't aim for vitals. Just for painful.
* Megumi stares.
<Megumi> "...Wh-what in.."
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> I hate that aspect of her.
<Ariel> Normal> "......" *stunned*
<DeathStar> 6* Progenitor falls to one knee.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tilts her head.
* Megumi turns and hugs Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses as she's hugged, then hugs Megumi back.
<Megumi> "P-please do not leave ...Erevis.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... ....
* Megumi is trying really hard not to say 'me' instead of 'us' at this point. Her head is screwy.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs. "I am tired of loss."
* Megumi looks at "Normal Ariel" and can't seem to get the courage to say anything like that just yet.
<Megumi> "Perhaps you have... s-seen more than myself, miss Erevis, but... Now besides you three, I have... n-no one left. You especially I ...wish not to see gone."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up at Megumi, then at Ariel.
* Ariel just looks hopeful.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stabs herself in the heart and dies
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cups her hands together. "What if you ... leave again." 6She notes quietly, glancing at Ariel
* Megumi looks to Ariel... a bit depressed at this dependency, but... She hasn't been there nearly as long.
* Megumi gets the pouting expression that used to be reserved for moments Darien was lazing about Ariel.
* Ariel closes her eyes, "...I thought you were already gone... Erevis... I thought I condemned you to death..." She looks up at Erevis, wondering if she understands how much it hurts to believe not just that your partner had thrown themself away... but did it because of your actions...
* Ariel is missing the irony of the situation.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6She cups her hands together. She studies them both quietly. "I understand." 6She says finally, then leans over and gives Megumi a kiss on the forehead, walking past them both toward Progenitor.
* Megumi blinks, holding her cheeks in her palms, but turns, staring toward Erevis' destination.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops in front of Progenitor and the two stare at each other.
* Megumi has to seriously fight herself not to run between the two or something.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds out her hands. "I need you, and you need me. We are one. I will need your strength in life." 6Progenitor stares
* Ariel just watches in her sad hopeful state
<DeathStar> 6* Progenitor stands up calmly, then takes Erevis' hands. "Very well."
* Megumi smiles... warmly!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back at Ariel and Megumi. She nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs a bit. "What about the creepy girl? Should we not deal with her?"
* Megumi blinks a few times. "...Deal with her?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't trust her. 6She eyes the girl.
<Megumi> The girl in white hovers down, lightly bringing herself to her feet.
<Megumi> Girl "Oh come now. Is that anyway to appreciate a favor? Then again, I suppose I was the one doing that, wasn't I?"
* Megumi grows quiet. Doesn't change the fact of what happened on her account. "..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're behind all of this!
<Megumi> She looks upward with a sigh. "Well, not everything always goes perfectly well as planned."

<Megumi> She locks her hands behind her and leans forward, grinning. "It turned out in the end, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems lost, looking at Ariel and Megumi
* Megumi looks downward a little. "She's... the one that showed me my ... what happened... She's also the one who brought us here, Erevis."
<Megumi> Girl "It was quite a lovely performances, dears."
<Megumi> She opens her eyes, widening them considerably until her irises narrow. "We shall meet again... Fate will bring those with like destinies from all ends of the worlds eventually."
* Megumi winces slightly and sulks a bit behind Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts an arm around Megumi
<Megumi> "Until then," she giggles, turning and walking, becoming transparent gradually until she's no longer visible. The sound of a bell rings before her hushed voice whispers across the realm they reside.
<Megumi> "..Wake up..."
* Ariel is defiant and doesn't wake... okay, so she's still suffering from massive physical trauma =P
* Megumi unfortunately doesn't 'awake' because she still has somewhere between a week and two to recover from all the nonsense on Famfrit from berserk and healing rapidly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr remains in a traumatic state.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, blinking once.
* Megumi is slumped, back against the pilot's seat where she passed out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, then bends down, scooping the little crazy Megumi up, and carries her into the bedroom
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays her on the bed, then lays down next to her. It feels like people have been in her head all day.
