<DeathStar> 6* Stardate: Same day as Episode 8
<DeathStar> Locaiton: Erevis' Hip Hoppin' Pad of Awesome
<DeathStar> 6* For the past week, Erevis and Megumi have been like two strangers - who happen to live in the same house and whatnot, and eat the same food, and etc.
* Chad`Winters has joined #tawny
* Megumi pauses before the door to Erevis' bedroom. The door. Her enemy.
* Megumi makes many attempts to raise her arm and knock, but no strength actually finds or moves the tendons, save for the last two attempts, but a terminal lump in her throat drives the urge to do so back to her waist. She stands there, oblivious to time being lost in such a manner, and never quite goes through with it.
<DeathStar> 6* The door suddenly opens and a dishelved Erevis is standing there, wearing only her traditional oversized shirt. She stares at Megumi tiredly.
* Megumi stares back, eyes open, not making any sudden movements of surprise or any attempt to exclaim such things. She seems perfectly normal... before teetering back onto her rump. "K-kya!?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... is something wrong? 6She asks, confused. After all, she hasn't seen much of Megumi lately.
* Megumi nods slowly, then shakes her head, the nods again. Then shakes her head, grabs it between her palms and messes her hair.
* Megumi starts with something easy.
<Megumi> "I made tea, miss Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, then shakes her head, then nods once. "That is most kind of you." 6She bows her head.
* Megumi struggles to her feet, holding out a hand in kind toward the kitchen, staring at the floor. 1"We... need to speak."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then nods. "Very well." 6* She walks toward the kitchen
* Megumi follows quietly after to where she's set out a kettle and a pair of cups, taking her... well, her usual seat prior to that week.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down as well. She doesn't look very dignified with wild, crazy bed hair, and a shirt on, but she attempts to look serious despite this.
* Megumi waves toward the kettle, picking it up in both hands to pour a milky tea for both, taking her own and sipping solidly with her eyes closed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the tea cup into her hands, sipping the tea as well.
* Megumi sets her cup down with a gulp, stands suddenly and bows at the waist. 1"Please forgive me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The tea is not that bad.
* Megumi actually looks surprised for once, then stammers and remains bowed. 1"Not for that, miss Erevis. ...For everything else."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She sips the tea again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is not I who you have cut out of your life, Megumi Zhenmei.
* Megumi remains bowed until she feels something has been resolved, and this may be a while knowing the two.
<Megumi> "I know, miss Erevis, but in what I have done, I may very well have done that as well. That aside, I am sincerely sorry for my childish behaviour and for not consulting you before I made such a foolhardy decision. A long time ago I asked for your help in keeping me from making incredulous mistakes."
<Megumi> "I have made one in ignoring the one I sought to confide and believe in, venturing on my own in a reckless and vain desire."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets the teacup down finally. "What do you intend to do about it?"
<Megumi> "All that I know I must. All that I can."
<Megumi> "I would beg your wisdom in doing that, but I do not deserve it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances to the side. "May I ask you a question?"
* Megumi winces. 1"Always."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why do you constantly set me so high in your opinion of me? It is unsettling.
<Megumi> "Because I love you. It is a simple answer... I value you above all others."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If that is the case, you should consider me an equal. However, you refer to me as Miss. Erevis. And you act as if I know all things and I am never wrong. That does not seem like love to me."
* Megumi falters slightly. 1"I refer to everyone honorarily, miss Erevis. Even mister Dias."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *shakes her head* You should not refer to someone you wish to be with as such.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sips the tea again.
<Megumi> "The one I wish to be with has never acknowledged that I have the right to do otherwise."
* Megumi frowns slightly. This... isn't what she intended to be speaking of.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets the tea down again. "I do not know how you can fix things, Megumi Zhenmei. I am not all knowledgeable. I would suggest you simply talk and be honest.
* Megumi bites her lip a bit frustratedly. Her back is starting to hurt also. 1"Miss Erevis also refers to me as my whole name."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Yes.
* Megumi pauses, as though that seems to explain itself with a depressed sigh.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How long do you intend to remain bowed, Megumi Zhenmei?
<Megumi> "Until I am forgiven, or circumstances prove impossible."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are forgiven.
* Megumi exhales exasperatedly, not expecting that, then takes a seat, a bit withdrawn and hiding at the level of the table.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just stares at her quietly.
<Megumi> "Me... gu... mi. Megu..."
* Megumi mumbles...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot understand you.
* Megumi squints in irritation. "It is nothing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are lying.
* Megumi adds "...important. Nothing important."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares, then stands up. "Thank you for the tea."
<Megumi> "...Miss Erevis!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
* Megumi stands, her hands flat on the table. 1"...I am not going to avoid miss knight."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad.
* Megumi sets her teeth off, in a furious manner. 1"I am... also..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
<Megumi> "...I do not know how, but I am going to make miss Zephyr understand."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *nods* I hope you can do so
* Marcus` has joined #tawny
<Megumi> "I will not let her shoot me, either."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be a ... wise attitude.
* Megumi makes a wince, but smiles, a crack into her old humor however faded it might be.
<Megumi> "It... It hurts."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I know.
* Megumi takes a long sigh, her attempt at humor is lost here, and she remembers why she lost it!
<Megumi> "Miss Erevis..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Megumi> "May I call you 'Erevis,' then?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course.
* Megumi nods slowly, but stubbornly refuses to ask her in kind not to refer to her wholly. 1"Then, Erevis, are you hungry?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
* Megumi just about falls over as support in her arms gives out unexplainably.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then steps over to support Megumi with an arm.
* Megumi smiles at her weakly. Oh well, one for three isn't too bad considering the opponent.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should not bow for so long. It appears to weaken you.
<Megumi> "It was not that, but it is nothing to worry about, Erevis." 6Giggle.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Megumi> "May I accompany you for a while? It has been a time."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, I had planned to shower and get dressed. 6She notes awkwardly. "Was there something else you had mind?"
* Megumi appears blank for a moment. 1"Hee, well... Perhaps I will just accompany you to the bed and nap in the meantime. I have not slept well for a while either."
<Megumi> "I cannot imagine you would..." 6Shakes her head quickly, gazing elsewhere.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Megumi> "I do not think you would allow me to accompany you that far. We have bathed before, but with different circumstances, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses awkwardly. "With how you feel...I do not think that is wise..."
* Megumi taps on foot on the ground, holding her other arm. 1"Which is why I can nap instead."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
<Megumi> "We can still sleep aside one another, though?"
* Megumi leans over and stares up at Erevis eerily. 1"Otherwise I might just change my mind."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Change your...mind?
* Megumi giggles behind her hand, straightening. 1"I might get desperate to be near you and change my mind about avoiding your shower."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts awkwardly now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you attepting to make a joke?
* Megumi nods twice.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is good. 6She looks relieved.
<Megumi> "Yes, Erevis, that is a joke. I will not lie about thinking of it, but I would not knowingly do such a thing in the knowledge that it would hurt you."
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *nods* I will attempt to be timrely.
<Megumi> "Mmm, you did not answer." 6Looks glum.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh? Yes, you may nap on the bed.
<Megumi> "Later, though...?" 6Peers, hopeful, a curious cat.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6Hesitates. "I do not know if that will be a good idea."
* Megumi peers at the floor, looking almost entirely heartbroken.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ..... 6She stands there, eyeing the floor as well.
* Megumi looks up, a dedicated frown of determination across her face. 1"If that is what Erevis wants."
<Megumi> "It is not what I want, however."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6She frowns a bit. "Very well. You may sleep with me again."
* Megumi nods, and the two look at one another with serious faces? Eventually Megumi breaks, smiling. 1"Thank you... Erevis. You need not worry about things beyond."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods her head. "I believe you."
* Megumi bows her head pollitely, awaiting Erevis to lead.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks into the bedroom. She goes to pull the shirt off, then pauses, deciding to grab new clothes and go change in the shower.
* Megumi thinks nothing of it, having never started to look in the first place. Instead, gathering herself to sleep on one side of the bed in a semi-ball. It might be worth mentioning that having returned the kimono at some point, she hasn't had proper clothes this entire time.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hums in the bathroom
* Megumi nods off, at least wearing a chemise.
* Megumi is now known as Lilith`
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis emerges a while later in a tanktop and pants. She watches Megumi sleep.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi is truly broken down, her hands and knees drawn close. She's sleeping similar to how she does when she's cattish, but she lacks the tail, absence of any manners and the smell of sake.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays on the bed and lays behind Megumi, putting an arm around her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to sleep again
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi stirs slightly, moving onto her back. Collisions of sorts awaken her and she squints at the ceiling, then looks to Erevis and stares. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is asleep still.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi remains perfectly still, though finding it hard to go back to sleep as emotionally excited as she might be. A mental cheer is made.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is unaware of this victory.
<DeathStar> 6* If she were, she might take it as a challenge.
<Lilith`> (NRP: Oh noes!)
<Ariel> NRP: *Read that as 'might take advantage'*
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL!
<Lilith`> NRP: Meg wishes?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts, putting a death grip on Megumi.
<Lilith`> 6She tenses, letting out a pathetic squeal and "...uurraiii!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks awake, staring.
<Lilith`> 6Megumi smiles, despite her shining colourless hair providing nice contrast to her blue face, different from its usually equally pale complexion.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets go. "I am sorry."
<Lilith`> 6She gasps! Taking a moment to recover. 1"I... I will be fine. Hee... hee..." 6Cough.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is good.
<Lilith`> 6She seems to be studying Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... What?
<Lilith`> 6Smile. 1"Is there... a reason you decided to get so close?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She pauses momentarily, trying to regain dignity. "I...felt like holding something."
<Lilith`> 6Megumi nods once, seeming satisfied with that. 1"You can be cute, too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I-I am not cute...
<Lilith`> 6Her head tilts a bit. 1"Why do you say that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shrugs.
<Lilith`> "Then I do not accept it. Erevis is cute!" 6Giggle.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....... If you say so. 6She looks like she doesn't really believe it, but has been told it before, so she can't really argue it
<Lilith`> 6Megumi takes the pause as opportunity to latch onto Erevis, rubbing her head against her shoulder. 1"It is cute when you do such things you are not accustomed to."
<Lilith`> "I would not lie to you, right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> On this subject, I do not think you would. *wary sigh* Very well, I am cute.
<Lilith`> 6She giggles again, nodding quite a few times in quick succession.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls out a tiny stuffed lion from beneath her pillow.
<Lilith`> 6Peers upward at the lion. 1"Hm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her plushie. "I have been using him while you have been gone in the guest room."
<Lilith`> 6Megumi blinks a few times. 1"You..." 6She appears amazed once more. 1"When did you get that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> About a year ago. But when you started to sleep with me, I put him away.
<Lilith`> "About... a ...year ago?"6 Sullen. 1"You got him from..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A store. I bought him.
<Lilith`> 6Nervously. 1"Oh.. Okay, heh... Well, I am sorry I made you put him away..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hands the lion plushie to Megumi. "I call him Warren."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because he has a scowl.
<DeathStar> 6* The lion does seem to scowl.
<Lilith`> 6She can't help but laugh.1 "That is... very fitting, hehe!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks embarrassed a bit at admitting to having a plushie
<Lilith`> 6She smiles serenely. 1"This is another cute thing about Erevis. I am glad you showed me."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren the lion's eyes seem narrowed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...just thought he was... cute.
<Lilith`> 6Megumi grins cheshirely, hugging Erevis with one arm, patting the plush with her other. "Nice to meet you, mister tiny Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren the plushie scowls at Megumi, his enemy
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at Warren, clearly thinking it's cute.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi admires the lion with Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We should buy you a plushie.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi blinks a few times. 1"H-huh?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Plushies are cute.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi nods. 1"You... want to buy me a plush doll?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Lilith`> "I..." 6She blushes, one hand on her showing cheek. 1"I would like that very much."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles, pleased. "We shall go shopping today.'
<Lilith`> "U-Um... if..." 6Stammers further inconsequentially indecipherable. 1"If I give you what is left of what I made with madame Terra might... I gather some new clothes? I... um..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be glad to get you new clothes as well. 6She studies her outfit.
* Lilith` ...is wearing a white chemise, presumeably undergarments one would hope, that's pretty much it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We shall go now.
<Lilith`> 6Megumi blinks a few times. 1"I... I cannot go out like this."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may wear some of my clothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets her an outfit
<Lilith`> 6Megumi winces. 1"I appreciate that, but I am a mess... I do not wish to dirty Erevis' belongings."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You need a bath?
<Lilith`> 6She nods slowly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. You may take one first.
<Lilith`> 6She crawls off the bed and bows deeply. 1"Thank you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows. "I will wait for you."
<Lilith`> 6She nods and quickly disappears into the bathroom, closing the door for a time.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to sleep on the bed.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi returns after a time, wrapped in one towel and patting her hair with another. She pauses upon seeing Erevis sleeping and sulks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is unawaere.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi finishes drying off and sits on the edge of the bed, working a comb through her hair, which isn't set free very often and requires a bit of fighting to untangle in some places.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Allow me. 6* She takes a brush, brushing Megumi's hair.
<Lilith`> 6Megumi startles slightly. 1"You were... awake?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was resting until you got out.
<Lilith`> "Sorry to awaken you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is rare to see your hair down long.
<Lilith`> 6Megumi nods slowly. 1"It is... That is because it is ineffective and sometimes a hindrance while fighting."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. My hair was once yanked in a fight. I wanted to cut it all off, but I was told I should not.
<Lilith`> "I had shortly after my tamer brought a small amount of sense back into me, and she scolded me for it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Do you think I should cut my hair?
<Lilith`> "My mother and her both seemed to pride it long, so the habit stuck."
<Lilith`> 6She seems to consider it for a moment. 1"I would think if you cut yours, I would sever mine again."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Then I will not cut mine.
<Lilith`> 6Megumi tilts her head slightly, peering to the corner of her eyes for a glance at Erevis. 1"Oh, what is that? You think I would look strange with short hair? Even though it is tied up all the time?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If it was cut short, I would not see it down long in it's rare moments.
<Lilith`> 6She considers this. 1"It would grow again, eventually."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Since you are adament about servering yours, then you wish for me to cut mine?
<Lilith`> 6Giggles. 1"No, I was just saying... Even if it were cut, it would grow again. It was not the only time my hair had been short."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm
<Lilith`> "I am just saying that I would like to be similar, alright?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I understand.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to brush her hair.
* Lilith` is now known as Megumi
* Marcus` is now known as Xanatos
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
* Xan|Gone is now known as Marcus`
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hums slightly.
* Megumi smiles and waits patiently, eyeing what it is that Erevis retrieved to wear.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems she found some small size clothing - a shirt and khaki like pants. Erevis pauses. "Wait here a moment."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hops off the bed and walks out.
* Megumi blinks.
<Megumi> "...U-um... Okay." 6Twiddles her thumbs idly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns, hiding something. She sits back down behind Megumi, then begins to do something with her hair.
<Megumi> "Mmm, what are you... up to?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to tell you yet.
<Megumi> "Oh..." 6Fidgets. Curiousity always gets her, but tries to be still.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes, looking pleased with herself.
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* Megumi fidgets a bit longer, but after a while of no activity. 1"...Mm, finished?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Megumi> "May I see?" 6Eager.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Megumi hops up to have a look for herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis put a red ribbon into her pale hair, leaving it down long otherwise.
<Megumi> "Wow. I do not think I have seen it left like that before."
* Megumi circles once, letting it flow around her briefly. Having been a year longer since the last time she actually bothered to observe it, it's working on reaching mid-thigh in length, having been waist already aboard PAX.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you like it?
* Megumi turns, clasping her hands behind her, smiling. 1"Mh."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad. 6* She smiles.
* Megumi returns to the room and retrieves the actual clothes. She might need those eventually.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes her long hair and begins to try to put it into a ponytail without looking.
<Megumi> "Mm, would you like me to?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish. I was once told I should experiment with my hair, but I always forget to do so
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down for her.
* Megumi nods and exchanges places. She is surprisingly at home in khakis, one leg bent, the other casually hanging off the bed. She gathers up Erevis' hair and parts it three ways, taking most of it and winds it around her palm, taking one of the clothes and ties she normally uses for her's and putting up a single bao.
* Megumi takes the other two and brings them up to form loops near the bao, tying all three with the tie in a simple knot that would pull free from either end being tugged.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits patiently, unlike Megumi earlier
<Megumi> "Ah, that ...should do for now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up and moves to a mirror to look at it, tilting her head and stepping to the sides to get the full view.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Where did you learn to do such things?
<Megumi> "Mm, as I said, my mother seemed to like my hair longer."
<Megumi> "She did many strange things, and many pleasing ones, as well."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It must have been nice. 6She says, acutely aware of Megumi's loss. She never knew her parents, so she never missed them.
* Megumi hops up and moves over to look as well. She winces slightly, but smiles. 1"Yes..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances at the mirror, forcing any sad features away into a neutral look. "I like it. Perhaps I should have you try different styles with my hair."
<Megumi> "It is always nice to try it yourself, you know. I would be glad to, in any case, and it helps to have another point of view."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Megumi. "Shall we shop now?"
* Megumi cups her hands behind her and grins. 1"Mh!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to turn, but pauses, looking downcast.
<Megumi> "Hm... What is wrong, mis-- ... Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot drive us there. 6She looks sad.
Session Close: Fri Oct 05 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Fri Oct 05 18:56:20 2007
Session Ident: #Tawny
* Logging #Tawny to 'logs\EsperNet\#Tawny.20071005.log'
<DeathStar> 6* After walking for the better part of an hour through the great city of Crystal Tokyo, our hapless heroines are closer than ever to their target. Though Erevis does scowl whenever someone drives by. Which is a lot.
<Megumi> "Mm, is something bothering you, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She doesn't elaborate.
* Megumi can't see her face very well, still having to squint now and then. 1"You hesitate whenever a vehicle goes b-- Ohhh..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will attain that license. 6She vows.
<Megumi> "Of course you will."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops in front of a giant mall. She studies it with a serious look.
<Megumi> "Mm, you do not like crowded places, do you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow. "What makes you say that?" 6She seems to be trying to decide if that is the case.
<Megumi> "You seem to like being by yourself, where you live, and you are... so serious about entering places you think you need to be normal."
* Megumi nods confidently, then looks toward the mall, and ...takes a step back. Intimidated. She's never been to one either. It's like being in Tokyo the first time with Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have always found large crowds of humans to be confusing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances toward Megumi. "Are you prepared?" 6She asks, as if they are about to battle legions of enemies
* Megumi nods, but is hesitant. It's a large, echoing, very noisey place. She winces at the very thought.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glares at some people who stare at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes Megumi's hand - she is wearing gloves, as usual. She leads them toward the lair of evil.
* Megumi blinks, then giggles as they enter. Shortly thereafter gaining a fizzled expression, covering one ear.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Are you alright? 6She asks Megumi as they walk past a food court.
<Megumi> "I... I will be. It is... just a little... loud."
* Megumi is a bit better inside, though with the occasional skylight and such, she's thankful for the sunglasses.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I have an idea. Wait here momentarily
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at a map, then steps around the corner to grab something from a store
* Megumi flails slightly, abandoned.
* Megumi looks around worriedly.
<DeathStar> 6* People walk around Megumi, eyeing her. Music and loud noises echo around the mall. People seem to be staring. The walls are closing in!!
* Megumi crouches and holds her head, covering her ears and whining quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Gloved hands take Megumi's hands and slides them off of her ears, then something plops down on both ears to muffle the sound.
* Megumi peers upward in alarm, slightly. "...1M-miss Erevis!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies her. "Is that better?"
* Megumi blinks a few times and recuperates, standing. She seems to hear things normally, and reaches for what it is she was given.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi is apparantly wearing earmuffs.
<Megumi> "...Th-thanks, Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Now, what shall we shop for first?" 6She studies the giant mall.
* Megumi sidles close to Erevis, smiling. 1"Eh, I was about to ask the same thing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> However, I asked first.
* Megumi nods. She knows Erevis is like this! 1"Which do you think is closer?"
* Megumi rocks on her heels, hands held behind her.
<Megumi> "What did the map say was nearby?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to the map. She eyes all the strange store names.
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to list each store in order of proximity, to those that are further out'
* Chad`Winters has joined #tawny
* Megumi stares blankly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns back finally. "Yes?"
<Megumi> "I do not think 'Inkscape' sounds like what we are looking for."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps not. Let us walk and see if there is a store of interest. 6She begins to walk along now.
* Megumi stumbles, then leaps slightly to catch up before glancing sidelong at booths and windows.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the store with a serious look, as if evaluating.
<Megumi> "...It has lots of glowing things."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you wish to go in?
<Megumi> "...It is kind of creepy. One dark place amidst many bright. Clearly they are trying too hard to be unique."
* Megumi moves away from a pseudo Spencer's.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves along, then notices a store, and her serious look melts. It's a toy store, with stuffed animals and whatnot inside it. She peers through the window at a plushie fox
<Megumi> * Kit reaches through reality and buys it.
<Megumi> NRP: Oh good lord. I thought this was the OOC.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL!
* Megumi stops, a ways away, and returns, peering in beside her. 1"Oh, you found one!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She stares at the fox plushie, obsessively, then turns. "Shall we enter?" 6She tries to act and sound serious again
* Megumi grins. "Of course!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks inside the store, glancing around at all the toys. "Do you see anything you like?"
* Megumi meanders through little aisles, glancing at things with buttons and beads for eyes. Shapes and sizes varying infinitely. "Mmm.." She pauses, naturally drawn to a set of a particular animal.
<Megumi> "Maybe one of these?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to study her choice of animal.
<Megumi> 6Coincidentally, or not, she's looking at tigers.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are very cute. 6She sounds like she means it. She studies the various tigers. "Which one do you like most?"
* Megumi takes a while, but her outstretched finger gravitates toward one lying down lazily, with sleeping, or squinting, eyes and a catty grin on its face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies it, then smiles, nodding approvingly. "A good choice."
<Megumi> "You think so?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. It feels familiar.
<Megumi> "Huh? Familiar?"
* Megumi peers at Erevis. "Familiar to what?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to try to remember, but cannot.
* Megumi shakes her head and smiles, picking the tiger plush up and holding it triumphantly over her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds a fox plushie in one hand, acting nonchalant. "Let us buy your tiger."
* Megumi nodnods at Erevis, hugging it, glancing at the fox. 1"You are getting another?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... .... ... yes.
* Megumi giggles. 1"They will have friends."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then nods, smiling. "Yes, they will." 6* She moves to the counter, pulling out gil to buy both Tiger and Mr. Fox, who she'll undoubtedly name Kit
* Megumi crouches, peering over the counter to study the fox and tiger.
<DeathStar> 6* The two plushies are put in a paper bag, which Erevis holds out to Megumi.
* Megumi blinks, then takes it and holds it carefully with her fingertips. She smiles broadly.
<Megumi> 1"Thank you, Erevis. Thank you very much."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are welcome. 6She steps out of the store, then spots a clothing store. "Let us buy you clothes."
* Megumi stares and goes to catch. 1"..U-um, alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks into the store, eyeing the fall and winter fashions.
* Megumi tags along and stares around a bit. 1"...Eh..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down at Megumi.
<Megumi> "...I do not know what matches, do you...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not. 6She typically wears clashing colors, simply because she just doesn't get the concept of color coordination. The same goes for her outfits on occassion.
<Megumi> "Mm, well you seem to like japanese things, right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I find the culture to be very interesting'
<Megumi> /me bows, putting her up apologetically. 
<Megumi> NRP: The heck. I never hit enter. o.o
* Megumi bows, putting her up apologetically. 1"You decide on something then, Erevis!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Me? 6She looks put on the spot. "I-I do not know."
<Megumi> "Please!?"
* Megumi flails slightly. 1"I like the kimonos and things. They do not make such things where I am from."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, troubled, glancing at the outfits. "Perhaps we should go to a store with more of that sort of clothing."
* Megumi nods, with a serious look.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back out.
* Megumi follows diligently, searching through stores of her own accord for something as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along, then spots a store with what Megumi wants - kimonos. She steps in, glancing over Megumi's body several times, then the kimonos.
* Megumi finally starts paying attention to the present and pauses a moment, standing a bit rigidly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to consider Megumi's shape very carefully.
* Megumi holds her arm and rubs her steady foot with the other, glancing at the floor. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She begins to examine kimonos more carefully now, leaving her intensive stare behind
* Megumi stands a ways behind Erevis, curiously leaning this way and that to see what she's looking at.
* Disconnected

* Set by Feather on Wed Sep 05 23:29:56
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks out some kimonos she thinks would look good on Megumi, based on whatever factors Erevis puts into clothing - colors, cuteness, seriousness. After selecting a total of six, she turns to Megumi.
* Megumi apparently failed, but now has a chance to look at them firsthand.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are they satisfactory? 6She glances down at them. She seems to have picked milder, somber colored ones.
* Megumi somehow expected Erevis to pick rather randomly, maybe some odd patterns, so is perfectly well pleased. She nods quickly, almost serious again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you wish to try them on first?
<Megumi> "A-ah! Can I?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not see why not.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leads her to the back, securing them a dressing room. She stands there, waiting.
<Megumi> 6* She certainly takes a while.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pokes her head inside. "Is there a problem?"
* Megumi has one of the kimonos half-hanging off her shoulders and stares at Erevis.
<Megumi> "...Well. I am finding it hard to deal with the sash while holding it in place."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and steps inside, closing, moving over to help dress Megumi.
* Megumi still manages to botch it several times, but afterwards holds her hands up energetically.
<Megumi> "Yay, finally!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It seems to be a good fit. 6She walks around, peering at the chest area, then the back.
* Megumi is finally a bit taken aback, perhaps by the narrow selective points Erevis is measuring.
<Megumi> "...R-really?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Is it comfortable?
* Megumi ponders, then waves her arms a little and leans to the side, stretching a leg out. 1"...Yes, actually."
<Megumi> "I do not usually wear things snugly. It is different."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, looking pleased. She has to becareful as she shifts around Megumi, due to the size of the enclosed space. "Good. They others should fit the same. If you do not wish to try them on as well, we can purchase them all."
<Megumi> "Mm... Can we trade one for one of the sleeveless, shorter styles...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course. Should I bring it in here for you to try it out?
* Megumi probably means a yukata. 1"It might be nice to have something a little easier to move in if we ever practice or something."
* Megumi smiles. 1"If they work the same I trust you..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. I will go trade one out. 6* She picks one, and steps out to get the outfit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks out a light blue one, and returns to see if Megumi is ready to purchase.
* Megumi dons the khakis and shirt and goes to meet her. 1"Oh, that is nice!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad you think so. She takes it, and the other clothes, to the counter, and pulls out more money.
<Megumi> "U-um... Erevis, here..."
* Megumi reaches into one of the pants pockets and rummages for a while, eventually pulling out a pouch with a slide tab, offering it to Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes it, tilting her head. "I could afford the clothing."
<Megumi> "It is for me, though. I still had a little, so I should help."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, and uses it. The clothes are put into a bag, gently.
* Megumi carries two bags, bowing. 1"Thank you, Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is not a problem. We should buy you a coat for the winter.
* Megumi winces. 1"We... we are spending too much, I should think."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not worry about it. I wish to make sure you are warm
* Megumi hugs Erevis' arm, eyeing her. 1"...Erevis is warm."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> While that may be so, I do not imagine wearing me around outside will be benefitial.
* Megumi giggles. Oh well. Nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along, then stops in front of a store with jackets and coats. "Hmmmm."
* Megumi peers around her, curious again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you see a coat that you like?
<Megumi> "...Maybe the fuzzy one?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the 'fuzzy one'.
* Megumi points to a coat that would probably fall to her knees, otherwise a light suede in colour with dark brown faux fure at the ends of the sleeves, 'mane' and edges mottled with specks and splotches of tawny and white colours. 1"That one."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *nods once, then steps inside, gets a coat, and goes to pay for it*
* Megumi gapes. So... resolute and quick.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then brings Mr. Fuzzy Coat to Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are there any other stores you wished to see?
<Megumi> "Mmm."
* Megumi describes a craft store.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She begins to walk again, attempting to locate such a store.
* Megumi tags along, a little distracted.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis points, after a search, at what appears to be the closest thing Megumi asked for. "Is this store suitable?"
* Megumi nods and quickly searches the place for seemingly specific items. An amount of satin cloth, a closeable pin and some fasteners.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches her.
* Megumi pays for them with a small allowance she set aside, then smiles, a third bag to her reperatoire.
<Megumi> "Do you have anything you would like to look at, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6*Erevis shakes her head. "I do not."
<Megumi> "Then... can we eat? I am... hungry, heh."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course. 6She directs them back towards the food court.
* Megumi stares at all the stalls with a bit of a loose jaw. 1"So... many."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. There are many choices. Does one appeal to you more than any other?
* Megumi holds the bags before her with both hands. 1"...Fish sounds good."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks the one with fish. She studies the menu, then orders something the court recommends.
* Megumi ends up with a baked tuna.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits at a table, eating the fish, as if tasting it for the first time.
* Megumi eats her fish without utensils, one hand on either end, nibbling happily on the top.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not eat with her hands.
<DeathStar> 6* After finishing her fish in a delicate manner, Erevis watches Megumi eat.
<Megumi> "Mmm... mmmnh!"
* Megumi seems rather happy, albeit oblivious.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I should learn how to make fish.
<Megumi> "Mm? I could teach you!"
* Megumi swallows and smiles.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be nice. 6She nods her head. Another food to add to her list of defeated dishes.

<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* One week with absolutely nothing happening.
* Alicia is now known as Vyssa
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks into the HQ, helping someone on crutches inside.
* Vyssa glances over
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up from his datapad, to see who the person on crutches is.
* Marcus` is in his usual spot, with his legs propped up, and his head lowered, eyes closed.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Angela sighs and continues to allow Drake to help her. "Thank you..."
* Dias slowly rises above Marcus, ever so slowly, like the night assasin.
<DeathStar> <Drake> No problem.
<Vyssa> "What happened to you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope eats special brownies.
* Angela arches a brow at Vyssa.
<Angela> "Someone pushed me off a building."
* Marcus` suddenly swings his hand up to smack Dias in the face.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Was is that young boy?
<Dias> That's what happens when yo-6He stands there as the hand smacks into his face, then he suddenly collaspes to the floor.
* Cassandra` steps into the room with a cup of tea.
<Angela> "Yeah it was..."
<Ariel> Raquel> *eyes Angela, then lays down on the couch. Taking it all for herself*
<Marcus`> <Theron> He is dead.
<Vyssa> "Oh, right! When I was... ah..."
<Angela> "That's good."
* Marcus` mumbles something, shifting in his seat.
<Cassandra`> We still don't know the full story. *sits down*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake offers his seat to Angela.
<Vyssa> "... I started to wonder if that was some crazy dream."
* Angela smiles softly and takes the seat offered. "Thanks Drake..."
<Megumi> 6* Lilith curls up, a gigantic Malamute at the foot of the couch. She seems to be avoiding becoming her human-like self for some reason.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Are you in pain? *he glances at Angela*
<Angela> "Quite a bit actually."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope offers Raquel a special brownie.
* Dias 's hand grabs the back of Marcus' chair as he begins pulling himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sits on the floor beside Lilith.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Then I am sorry for your pain. *he nods once, glancing back to his datapad*
<Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes the brownie uncertainly.
<Cassandra`> Nothing's come up for a week...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy suddenly flops on top of Raquel
<Megumi> 6* Lilith's head raises to look at Drake, then goes back to sulking. She sniffs a few times, then raises her head to Pope and growls, bristling.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel lets out a muffled eep
<Vyssa> "I am sortof glad."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope shrugs and eats the brownie.
* Marcus` breathes heavy, he is probably asleep now.
* Dias pulls himself up right, his hand rubbing his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lays right on top of Raquel, hogging her like she is the couch
* Angela smiles softly and sits back, sighing a bit.
<DeathStar> <Pope> I thought you would be pleased, luv. Nothing trying to kill you.
* Dias shifts his hands' around on the couch and grabs it, flipping it forward.
<Dias> NRP: Chair, whatever it is
<Ariel> Raquel> <...so... crowded...>
<Megumi> 6* Lilith peers at Billy inquisitively, but lets her be. She must be special.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope holds out a brownie to Cass.
* Marcus` opens his eyes as his chair moves forward and he extends his hands out to catch himself from slamming facefirst into the floor, he stands and glances at Dias. "If you wanted the chair, all you had to do was ask."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Take up cooking, Pope?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> I have my talents, luv.
<Angela> "So situations like last weeks are normal here?"
* Dias stands up holding a quarter. 1"Oooh it's shiny."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake cups his hands behind his head. "Pretty much."
<Cassandra`> ...what the...?
<Cassandra`> This had better not be laced with hash.
<Vyssa> "I'm wondering if I can handle it week after week."
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... *takes the brownie back*
<Angela> "...Awfully tame compared to what we've handled in the past..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> What have you guys done in the past, exactly?
* Vyssa looks to Angela "... are you insane?"
<Angela> "Let's see... killed a god..."
<Dias> I stole from space pirates.
<Marcus`> So tame that it landed you in the hospital. *he notes moving into the kitchen*
<Cassandra`> Ok...fine...let me have it.
<Vyssa> "That made more sense than this."
<DeathStar> <Pope> No.
<Angela> "Yes Marcus, I was in the hospital for nearly three weeks from that."
<Angela> "If you forget I got a jolt of hyperspace to the face."
<Cassandra`> Whatever. *shrugs*
<Marcus`> Don't care. *he calls out from the kitchen*
<Dias> And what did you learn from that Angela? 6He looks over at her, holding a quarter.
<Angela> "Don't shake hands with Wind, or faces."
<DeathStar> <Drake> You guys killed a god?
<Angela> "Yep."
<Vyssa> "I don't think you can shake hands with a face."
<Dias> ...You shook hands with Wind and got thrown off a building?
<Angela> "Oh the building?"
<Dias> I thought you killed him.
<Vyssa> "We did."
* Angela rubs her face
<DeathStar> 6* Pope eats his brownie, looking relaxed and happy.
<Marcus`> <Theron> They had help from these special artifacts that granted them a considerable amount of power. *he informs Drake*
<Dias> Wow, you got brain damage like Xan did.
<Angela> "No... my brain is fine."
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... 6He glances at Lilith. "Do you get the feeling we're not entirely up to speed?"
<Angela> "Drake... I'll tell you all about it sometime... the last few years have been... interesting."
<Megumi> 6* Lilith just nods a single time, then looks to Angela, head tilting.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "To be fair, he DID let us win."
<Vyssa> 6* There is a knock on the door.
* Dias suddenly slides up to Angela and presses his hand against her forehead.
* Angela blinks at Dias.
<Angela> "...What?"
<Marcus`> *Theron glances around, then shifts over to the door, answering it.
* Megumi is now known as Lilith`
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh yeah. Do you actually have a weapon anymore, Raquel?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake tilts his head backwards to look up at the couch.
* Lilith` suddenly shifts, her back leaned against the bed, her legs crossed lazily.
<Lilith`> "Ojousama has me."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Hey Theron."
<Dias> You're definetly not hot...6He glances up at the cieling.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, yeah, but you can't be everywhere, Lilith.
<Angela> "...Checking for a fever Dias?"
<Lilith`> "...I can always be beside ojousama."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope goes for another brownie off his plate.
<Marcus`> *Theron bows his head once. "Greetins, Terra. Come in." He steps back so she can come in.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...I have... my powers... and Lilith... but no other weapons...>
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Thanks." *steps in, looking around* "Nice place."
* Dias suddenly glances over at Billy, his hand dropping. 1"Andrea!"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake reaches into his pants and pulls out a sheathed knife. "I know this isn't much, but you never know when you might need it." 6* He holds it up to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is asleep on Raquel.
* Marcus` walks back in eating a sandwhich. He walks back over to his chair and sits down in it.
<Dias> Uhhh, how cute. 6He pulls out a camera and takes a picture.
* Lilith` winces as a photo is taken of her, Drake, Raquel and Billy.
<Angela> "...Alright..."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes it awarkly, under the sleeping child.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Is Em around? There was something I wanted to ask. Also.. did Megumi ask to join?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> You would have to talk to Cassandra. *he says, moving back to the table*
<DeathStar> <Drake> *yawns tiredly and closes his eyes*
<Ariel> 6* Em is passed out in another room
* Lilith` closes her eyes. "...Megumi... Me... gu... mi. Zhen. Mei. Megumi Zhenmei."
<Vyssa> <Terra> *nods* "Well, I'll do that first. I really need to talk to someone who knows something about psionics sometime, though."
<Vyssa> <Terra> *looks to Lilith* "Yep, that's her."
* Lilith` suddenly looks rather agitated. 1"The cat."
<Lilith`> "...Baka na... neko."
* Marcus` holds up a hand. "Hey Terra." He says simply, finishing off his sandwich.
* Dias puts his camera away and moves over to a chair and plops on the top of it.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Don't like cats?
<Vyssa> <Terra> "..."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Hey Marcus."
* Lilith` squints, crossing her arms. "Cats are self-serving and unpredictable."
* Cassandra` sips her tea,,,
* Angela just watches, not quite lot to whatever it is that makes this group... a group yet.
<Angela> "...Any more of that tea Cass?"
<Lilith`> "They are despicable creatures of no moral value to speak of."
<Marcus`> I think Em might be sleeping. Something up?
* Vyssa just listens to the proceedings, guessing things are going to get even more interesting
<DeathStar> <Drake> Harsh.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... and you think Megumi's like that?"
<Lilith`> "All cats are like this. How they appear and how they howl is the difference.
<Lilith`> "Hrmph."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...damn. She really is a dog."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I've always been more of a dog person myself.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... I don't think she's self-serving."
* Lilith` glances at Setsuna disdainfully. 1"Inu ja nai. Inugami deshou."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "You're a dog."
<Angela> "I prefer bunnies."
* Lilith` twitches irritably.
<Dias> I prefer woman.
<DeathStar> <Pope> I prefer these brownies.
<Marcus`> Something wrong with dogs, Terra?
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Not really."
<Cassandra`> In the kitchen. Help yourself.
* Marcus` smirks slightly. "Good."
* Angela sees that Cassandra has mentally caught up and nods, reaching for her crutches.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Anyway, Cassandra... while I'm waiting for Em... did Megumi ask to join?"
<Cassandra`> She called me, yes.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Cassandra...Angela is on crutches...*he pause and stands* I'll get you some Tea, Angela.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "I'm thinking of maybe joining up too."
* Angela smiles softly, "Thank you Theron..."
<Marcus`> *Theron moves into the kitchen.
<DeathStar> <Drake> So, tell me, Angela
<DeathStar> <Drake> What DID happen on that roof?
* Angela looks down.
<Cassandra`> And you're talking to the woman that got cyborged cause she had no arms, legs, or skin left after she caught a bomb.
<Angela> "...I got pushed off by that... Dustin..."
<Vyssa> "I asked that myself and got the same answer."
<Cassandra`> He's dead now...anyway, Terra...you too?
<DeathStar> <Drake> Your body looks human to me, Cap'n.
<Marcus`> She isn't a cyborg anymore....long story.
<DeathStar> <Pope> God turned her into a human.
<Angela> "Another... ummm... God... fixed her... to weaken her. Usual evil badguys doing convoluted things to accomplish simple goals."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Why not? I don't have anything better to do, and I want to take care of my 'little sister'."
* Dias leans back on the top of the chair, picking his nose
<Marcus`> ...so maybe it wasn't that long. *he shrugs, turning on the holo-vid.
* Lilith` seems to be staring at Angela. Unnerving considering her otherwise placid red eyes.
* Angela blinks, catching those eyes, she blinks a bit and looks away, unnerved.
<Cassandra`> I haven't even spoken to Megumi since.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Well, I can pass on messages, at least."
<Cassandra`> Where is she anyway?
<Vyssa> <Terra> "She's staying with Erevis."
<Angela> "Isn't Mom with them?"
<Cassandra`> And that is...?
* Angela looks at Terra.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back out, placing a cup of tea in front of Angela. He moves back to his seat, typing on his datapad.
<Marcus`> You don't know who Erevis is, Cass?
* Angela nods politely in thanks to Theron, and sips her tea.
<Cassandra`> No...I know who she is...I don't know where she is.
<Marcus`> Ah, gotcha. *he holds a thumbs up*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake smiles at Lilith. "How have you been today?"
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... last I heard, no. She moved out because Zephyr doesn't like Megumi." *is obviously a little bitter, but trying to be tactful*
* Lilith` continues staring. 1"...Angela, was it?" Ignores Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks hurt a bit, glancing away.
* Angela looks at Lilith, "Ummm... yes, Angela Bennet, and you're... Lilith right?"
* Lilith` nods slowly. A long, awkward pause ensues, then she bites at her lip a bit, then nods to nothing in particular.
<Cassandra`> I see...
<Lilith`> "Please talk to ojousama."
<Marcus`> Everyone has their reasons. *he says, turning the channel*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stands up and walks out of the room, toward the back
<Angela> "Ojousama?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "....?"
* Lilith` points to Spirit beneath Billy.
* Lilith` suddenly arises, and follows Drake conspicuously. <Forgive me, ojousama!>
* Angela blinks and looks at Spirit. "Ummm... hi there..."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Anyway, I hope you don't mind if I at least stick around until Em's around."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "I'm looking for expert opinion on something."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps into the kitchen, glancingi n the fridge for food. He frowns a bit.
<Marcus`> So...Terra. Why didn't you just talk to Erevis about it?
<Cassandra`> Be my guest.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...hello."
* Lilith` stands in the kitchen. Quietly, not saying a thing to alert Drake.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... it's a bit tactless."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses, as if listening to something . He shifts his shoulders, where his sheathed sword bounces once. "Need something?"
<Angela> "You're... Ojousama?"
<Marcus`> Oh that's right. She lost her abilities...*he frowns*
<Ariel> Raquel> "...that's what she calls me."
* Lilith` instinctively reaches for her sword, granted in this form she does not have the one she was expecting, materializing the rather unwieldy Railblade in defense. 1"...No, not precisely."
<Angela> "Oh... what should I call you?"
<Cassandra`> Hmmm?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...they call me Spirit."
<Dias> I call her evil.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I think we're out of turkey.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...alright... except him."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin once, not noticing her doing anything, since he hasn't looked over.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Do you call Billy evil too?"
<Angela> "Spirit? Well... nice to meet you."
<Dias> She's Andrea.
<Lilith`> 6Dematerializes her inukami, the railblade. 1"Does Dias count?"
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Well, that is a better name."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel winces at the mention of 'Andrea'.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *laughs once* He's more of a ham. 6He turns to glance over, his brown eyes mischievious
<Vyssa> "Is something wrong?"
<Dias> Evil, you have a twitch.
<Lilith`> "I suppose it would be within me to agree. He makes a good ...ham."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "You can't just call someone Evil like that!"
<Lilith`> "He would be tough to chew."
<Dias> She tried to kill me. 6He looks at Terra, rather seriously.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yeah. Plus I don't really like ham.
<Marcus`> Me too. *he holds his hand up*
<Lilith`> "I do not really like Ham either."
<Dias> Him too. 6He points at Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake smiles. "Well, we have something in common."
* Lilith` pauses. 1"Ano... I mean Dias."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... and that's never happened before?"
<Lilith`> "I actually like ham."
* Angela listens
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yeah, I know what you mean. 6He smirks.
<Marcus`> ...I...that was a very rude thing to say. *he says, glancing back to the holovid.*
<Dias> She does bring up a good point. 6He looks at Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits up, rubbing her eyes. "Why do people saying my name?"
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Andrea?"
<Cassandra`> No more taking Billy's name in vain.
* Vyssa just sighs
<Vyssa> <Terra> "What the hell?"
<Angela> "That the first commandment now?"
* Lilith` stands there, shifting awkwardly.
<Cassandra`> Yep.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Her kid, her rules I guess.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Speak no evil, lest you wake it up.
* Angela smles and drinks more tea.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Problem? 6He closes the fridge door, rubbing the back of his head.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "That's nepotism."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares at everyone, then stretches and slides off of Raquel
<Dias> I still don't like people trying to kill me.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...good morning."
<Marcus`> It'd be different if you actually did something.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hi. 6She beams at Raquel.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... you mean he didn't?"
<Marcus`> We didn't do anything.
* Cassandra` stands up and heads for her room.
<Cassandra`> Goign to change...going to get some air...
<Dias> For once, not a damn thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps in. "I got a case for you guys."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... for once, I believe you."
<Vyssa> "Oh?"
<Dias> I love you. 6He turns as Kat says something.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Get this. A man is found cut to pieces outside of Tokyo, with no sign of anyone else being there.
<Marcus`> *Theron perks up, glancing toward Katrina. "I thought you had quit the team, glad you could bring us work."
* Lilith` glances toward Katrina.
<Vyssa> "Well, that's interesting... and for once, doesn't seem too weird."
<Lilith`> "Anyone as in... No human?"
<Angela> "Oh mysterious butchery... sounds exciting..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, that's where you guys come in. To find out who or what did it.
<Dias> I bet it was the lunch lady.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "So much for a day off..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> She smelled like old meat.
<Lilith`> "Nature spirit."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... so much for my chance to talk to Em."
<DeathStar> <Pope> You had a week off.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> .... Well, if you guys don't want the case, I'm sure the cops could handle it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to go.
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "We'll take it, Katrina." he stands up.
<Dias> I like mysteries. 6He hops off the chair and moves over to Kat.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Unlike you, I spent much of that doing paperwork."
<DeathStar> <Pope> ....paperwork?
<Vyssa> "Paperwork. As in, reports."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy opens Cassandra's door - giving everyone a view of her. "Mommy, we got a case."
* Lilith` forces a smile in response to Drake. A fake one, as if puppeteering her mouth from a third person perspective with a single string. Then bows and returns to Raquel.
<Cassandra`> Whaaaa?! *falls over*
* Dias jerks towards the door isntantly his eyes open.
* Lilith` eyes toward Billy. 1"Shameful."
<Marcus`> *Theron perks his head towards the halfnaked Cass.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Thank you.
* Dias let's out a whistle
* Lilith` nods respectfully to Billy. Morals have nothing to do with regarded respect.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his head, stepping out into the living room, not looking in the room
* Marcus` crosses his arms, not looking toward's Cass' room.
<Cassandra`> Close that damn door! *strategically placed hands!*
<DeathStar> 6* Pope doesn't look, or Em would have his balls.
<Dias> Oh wait, bad Dias. 6He smacks his hand as helooks over at Kate.
<Dias> NRP: Kat
<DeathStar> <Billy> Why?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel glances at Cass, and notes those HAVE to be fake.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks as well.
* Dias see's Kat look. 1"You just got a lot hotter, you know that?"
<Vyssa> <Terra> *heads over to close the door herself*
<Marcus`> *Theron just silently stares.
* Lilith` doesn't care if the door gets shut or not. Yawns.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not a chance in hell you and I will hook up. 6She notes to Dias.
<Lilith`> "Ojousama, will we be participating?"
<Cassandra`> Close it!
<Vyssa> <Terra> *does so*
<Dias> Hey, I'm just stating a fact Kat, not an intention.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You could have already had your clothes on by now, Cass.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll be in the van.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks out.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "She didn't want you guys seeing her naked while she dressed."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Eh. Nothing special.
<Ariel> Raquel> "... we should. They need help..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I guess you'll be staying here, Angela?
* Dias looks over at Marcus. 1"You know Billy opened it for you, right?"
* Lilith` nods once. 1"They do seem somewhat hopeless without guidance."
* Angela looks up. "I ummm... I'd love to come..."
* Angela sighs and tries to get up.
<Angela> "If I can be some use..."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks over and helps her up.
<Vyssa> "I guess that means I have to come."
<Marcus`> That's why I didn't look. *he steps out, moving into the van*
* Cassandra` pulls on the rest of her clothes quickly...then comes out.
* Vyssa heads out too
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles up at her, innocently.
<DeathStar> <Billy> DD, today, Mommy?
<Dias> She's gonna be insulted. 6He walks out beside him, his hands in his pockets.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Might as well ride in the van. It'll get lonely here otherwise. 6* He helps her toward the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope keeps watching TV. No need to go without his other half.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Haven't gotten the variables reinstalled yet, Billy."
<Marcus`> *Theron stands and lingers his eyes on Cass for a moment before leaving to get in the van.
* Angela lets him help her again, apparently not happy with needing the help in the first place.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *watches TV herself. She came to talk to Em, mostly, so she'll wait*
* Lilith` returns to the couch and lifts Spirit into her arms, following Drake. Seems less noisey.
* Cassandra` pinches the bridge of her nose...
<DeathStar> 6* Drake helps out Angela, then holds the door open for Lilith
<Cassandra`> Let's get moving...
<DeathStar> <Billy> Mommy's happiest when she's pincing her nose!
<Dias> I'll drive! 6He moves to the driver's seat.
<Cassandra`> ...yes...I'm in my happy place now...
* Lilith` exits the van suddenly.
<Vyssa> "..."
<Angela> "You know... not too long ago I healed up a lot faster then this..."
<Marcus`> No. *he grabs Dias, not letting him get in*
* Cassandra` heads for the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy watches them go, then plops down on the floor.
* Dias jerks back. 1"What the hell? I have my license now. My REAL license.
<Marcus`> Cass is the boss, she drives.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in the back, pulling out a romance novel to read.
<Dias> She does have her own air bag system...
<Vyssa> "That designation makes little sense."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Really?
* Lilith` re-enters the van with Spirit and sits aside Katrina, protectively clutching Raquel between her arms and knees.
<Cassandra`> I also have the keys. *spoken as she walks to the van*
* Marcus` smirks at Cass, then gets in the van.
<Vyssa> "Airbag system? I didn't know humans had such."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Good morning Raquel. Lilith.
<Dias> ...Bah, I could've hot wired it. 6He moves into the back and plops down on Kat's other side.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake helps Angela inside, then takes a seat beside her. He puts his sword in his lap
<Marcus`> *Theron sits in the van. "I think we may need to get another Van." he notes it being very cramped.
* Angela sits back and quietly wonders how they all fit in the van.
* Lilith` nods to Katrina, a bit bothered by her presence for some reason.
<Vyssa> "We have keys. There is no reason to hotwire the van."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna grabs shotgun.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina seems to ignore it.
<Cassandra`> I rigged it to detonate if its hotwired. *climbs into the driver's seat*
* Angela fidgets a bit as she sits and reaches behind herself into her jacket, and pulls out a rather impressive looking handgun.
* Dias glances forward. 1"Well gee, that would've sucked. Think of all the dead people in the van.
<Vyssa> "You humans are impenetrable, you know that?"
<Marcus`> Technically you could penetrate us really nice with a rail gun.
* Dias looks over at Kat. 1"Did she just call us thick?
<Vyssa> "I meant your psyche."
<Vyssa> "No, I did not."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *turns the page*
* Lilith` eyes Marcus for a moment. She smirks.
<Cassandra`> Buckle up. Everyone on board?!
<Dias> Ooook. 6He gives Vyssa that, I think you're nuts look.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks out the window.
<Vyssa> "That does not mean I do not think it about certain team members."
<Marcus`> It's alright Vyssa, Dias is really dumb.
* Cassandra` starts the engine.
<Vyssa> "I know."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds out a note. "Pass this to Cass."
* Dias looks back at Vyssa a curious look on his face. 1"So what do lizard boob's really look like?
* Marcus` nods once, he glances at Kat and takes the note, passing it up to Cass.
<Dias> Blue face. MY GOD SHE'S NOT BREATHING!
* Cassandra` looks at the note.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Dias oddly.
* Vyssa sighs
* Marcus` pauses and eyes Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* The note is the location of the murder
* Dias glances out the window now, a calm look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Drake> .... 6* He glances toward the back at Dias.
<Marcus`> ...okay. So any idea what this might be at all, anyone?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that...a video datapad in your lap...ofa a bedroom?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina snatches it from Dias, eyeing it.
<Cassandra`> Let's move. *starts the trip*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's face goes a bit grim
* Marcus` shifts, glancing at Kat. "What...who's place is that?"
* Dias suddenly falls into Kat's lap and shuts the datapad off. 1"Ooh my bad."
<Vyssa> "Probably something non-human did it."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shoves Dias off.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sick
* Dias stands upright the datapad missing. 1"Healthy actually."
<Marcus`> *Theron sits quietly, though Angela's crutch is pushing agains the side of his head.
<Dias> NRP: sits
* Angela quietly removes it from his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks away from Dias, clearly angry.
* Angela shakes her head and looks down at the gun in her lap.
* Lilith` eyes Katrina, blinking.
* Dias looks out the window, whistling innocently.
* Marcus` looks confused. "...I think i'm just going to drop it." He says, shifting back to look ahead.
<Lilith`> "What has the ham done?"
<Vyssa> "I predict violence in the near future..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
<Marcus`> <Theron> That gun is a bit large for someone of your figure. *he notes, glancing at Angela*
<Vyssa> "Do you have a tripod for it?"
* Angela blinks and looks up at him, "It's my own design, I reduced the recoil significantly..."
* Lilith` leans in toward Erevis. 1"I have exceptional hearing. Whisper."
<Marcus`> *Theron arches a brow. "But the weight should be still hamper your aiming."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina scowls. "Oh, I don't have to whisper about how this little perv has a camera set up in someone's bedroom, facing their bed."
* Lilith` goes sullen. Hugging Spirit further from Dias' direction.
* Marcus` pauses and shifts, glancing back at Katrina. "Someone in this van?"
* Vyssa just sighs, looking at Dias
<Ariel> 6* Raquel leans further away from Dias.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> .... Close enough in my opinion.
* Dias slowly looks over at Kat, blinking.
<Angela> "It fires really big bullets."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I should get money for it. In a way, you're exploiting me.
<Cassandra`> Katrina, what else cnq you tell us about this case?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Dias - her green eyes deadily.
* Marcus` eyes Katrina for a moment, then nods once. "I see. I wonder how she'll react when she finds out about it?"
<Dias> How much we talking here? 6He shifts slightly, focusing on her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> All of it.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once. "I guess i'll just have to see it in action then."
<Dias> 90%
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Fine.
* Dias holds his hand out to Kat.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Anyway, I don't know much about the mission. 6She turns her attention to Cassandra.
<Vyssa> "Oh not again..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Some hikers found the body near a hiking trail. The body was cut into tiny pieces, as if someone just sliced them apart. The police who sealed the area off said there was no evidence of anyone being there. No sign of anything.
* Dias raises his eyebrows and pulls his hand back.
<Cassandra`> Were all the pieces there?
<Angela> "Nothing there? What's the terrian like?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Looks like it. No one really wanted to count them all.
<Vyssa> "No sign of anyone during the murder?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...tell me we're not dealing with a ghost."
<Cassandra`> So body wasn't eaten...
<Vyssa> "Ghost, something invisible, telekinetic... or maybe a teleporter."
<Marcus`> Is it possible for a ghost to go corporeal and attack someone?
* Lilith` closes her eyes. 1"In a way, I am a ghost, Setsunasan."
<Vyssa> "Did I miss any possibilities?"
<Dias> Maybe somewith scissors for hands.
* Vyssa pauses. "Perhaps a burrower."
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... I've never heard of a monster with scissors for hands.
<Vyssa> "I expect they would have spotted a flier."
<Dias> Exactly.
<Cassandra`> Victim ID's yet?
* Lilith` looks toward Setsuna with her eery, somber red eyes!
<Lilith`> "Do you... have a fear of ghosts?"
* Angela yawns a little.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not yet. I doubt we will any time soon.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes Angela.
<Cassandra`> Why is that?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "No."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Pain medication kicking in.
* Angela blinks and looks at Drake.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> When I say tiny pieces, I mean tiny pieces.
<Angela> "Mmm... a little."
* Lilith` nods. 1"That is good."
<Angela> "They put me on some hardcore stuff."
<Vyssa> "Ah, another possibility. Our opponent is too small to be seen."
<Marcus`> *Theron, glances at Angela. "I believe that is her way of saying she is bored with this job."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes Vyssa.
<Vyssa> "What?"
* Dias slowly looks at Vyssa then leans over towardS Kat. 1"And I'm the freaky one?"
* Angela blinks and looks at Theron. "Nah..."
<Marcus`> *Therons smiles.
<Vyssa> "What is so freaky about taking a professional stance towards this?"
<Cassandra`> What about DNA?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're a pervert, there's a difference.
<Marcus`> Don't sweat it, Vyssa. It's good you actually care about this job.
<Dias> I blame your brother. 6He crosses his arms.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We're looking into it. But don't expect anything anytime soon.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Can't argue there.
<Vyssa> "Once more, we're on our own."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Nothing freaky about it. I'm just trying to decide how someone tiny could do it.
<Dias> Can't be mad at someon when it's not their fault.
<Angela> "I'm just trying to pay the rent..."
<Vyssa> "You are aware that bacteria and viruses are tiny, and can cause death easily? Not usually in that style, but..."
<Cassandra`> WE're almost there.
<DeathStar> <Drake> So you're saying a virus can cut a man into tiny pieces?
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once. "I'm not really sure why I am even here.' He admits.
<Vyssa> "I'm not sure with this planet."
<DeathStar> <Drake> ...
<DeathStar> <Drake> Disturbing thought.
<Vyssa> "The idea of undetectable killers usually is."
* Vyssa shudders a bit herself
* Dias suddenly looks over at Raquel at that thought.
* Lilith` growls at Dias.
* Lilith` sounds a little funny, since she's in human version.
<Cassandra`> Wraiths...poltergeists..
<Angela> "I'd rather see the scene before I start thinking up theories..."
* Dias throws a dog treat at Liliths' face.
* Marcus` sighs once, leaning forward to glance at Cass. "How much longer?"
<Ariel> Raquel> *eyes Dias*
<Vyssa> "I'd rather have some sort of preparation before approaching."
* Lilith` slaps it away with the back of her hand. Billy giving her one was embarassing, but like she would accept one from Dias.
* Cassandra` stops the van.
<DeathStar> <Drake> See, Angela? We're an interesting unit.
<Cassandra`> We hoof it from here.
<DeathStar> 6* They find themselves outside Tokyo, in a tiny wooded area,
<Angela> "Hoof it...?"
<Cassandra`> Walk. *climbs out of the van*
<Lilith`> "I do not have hooves."
* Vyssa climbs out
<Marcus`> You might need to stay in the van, Angela. *he gets out of the van*
<Angela> "This'll be fun..."
* Angela blinks, looking at Marcus.
* Marcus` doesn't look back at Angela, he continues away from the van some, pulling out a pistol.
* Dias climbs out, pushing Lilith and Raquel away. He pats Angeal on the shoulder. 1"He wants ya, he has a thing for emotionaly scarred woman.
<Dias> Girls...6He looks at her. 1"Womanly girls?
<Angela> "So I hear..." *she says, a bit bitterly*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hops out, stretches, and walks along.
* Cassandra` moves toward the murder scene...
<DeathStar> <Drake> Want me to stay with you, Angela?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gets out.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances at her.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna stretches and follows idly after Cass
<Marcus`> *Theron slides out of the van, he glances at Angela and Drake, then continues on ahead.
* Angela blinks and blushes slightly, "U-Ummm... sure..."
* Dias moves upto Marcus quickly, he leans in very close, whispering.
* Marcus` glances at Dias, then nods once.
<Lilith`> "Do you wish to come, Benetusan?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stretches on the seats
* Dias nods and slides his hands behind his head as he stops, glancing around.
* Lilith` is peering coldly at Angela, awaiting an answer.
<Vyssa> "Do you have any plans for if it is some sort of virus, or nanomachine infection?"
<Dias> We could always just run.
<DeathStar> 6* After a hike, Cassandra could smell blood. Up ahead, police tape can be seen
<Marcus`> *Theron moves alongside Cass. "Vyssa is right, this might be a trap."
* Angela blinks, looking at Lilith. "Benetusan...?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Bennet in Japanese.
<Angela> "Oh... yeah I would..."
* Lilith` appears to sound it a few times. "Benetosan. Gomene."
* Dias looks at Theron. 1"Yes, a trap to catch us...
* Angela smiles.
<Cassandra`> ...definitely something here....
<Marcus`> I smell the blood. It makes my stomach turn.
<DeathStar> 6* As CAssandra gets closer, she can see tons and tons of blood splattered all over the glass, with tiny pieces of flesh and bone scattered about. It seems like this man got killed by a 1000 razor blades.
* Lilith` thinks for a moment, then reaches out, dark points forming at the edges of her fingers. She crushes the metallic rods of the crutch rather... abrubtly.
<Vyssa> "I can smell it too..."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...disgusting."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This is the literal definition of weird, isn't it?
* Angela blinks
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there, then nods. "I believe so."
<Angela> "My... crutches..."
* Lilith` takes the pieces she's created, around four or five, and appears to be trying to bend them into semi-rings, but having difficulty. She doesn't have actually strength, even if the rods are hollow. She looks to Drake in irritance.
<Cassandra`> I did something like this before...monowire strung all over the place...Adam managed to get out alive though...
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... What?
<Lilith`> "...Make them rings around Benetosan's wrists and ankles."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ew. I didn't need to know that.
* Dias turns aroudn to see it. 1"Woh, this is just freaky.
* Lilith` holds up one of her hands, the ball bearings around her wrist apparent.
<DeathStar> <Drake> What, how?
* Lilith` attempts on her own again. They're a lightweight metal and not particularly strong, she's just not capable of bending them more than a bit.
<Angela> "What... will that allow for...?" *she pokes her plasticasts*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake awkwardly watches, then holds out his hand
<Vyssa> "So, I'm guessing monowire has already been eliminated as a possibility?"
* Lilith` gives Drake the scrap bars.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake tries to bend them, his face turning red.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina feels queazy, turning when she notices the remains of what appears to be brain matter
* Lilith` hops out of the van and looks back at the two, concentrating for a moment. She levitates a bit off the ground, looking to Angela. 1"Just keep hand in hand with Durekusan and do not stray far from ojousama. I will make you weightless."
* Dias eyes Kat, than looks at Marcus. 1"This is just creepy."
* Marcus` makes a face. "...I think i'm going to puke." He covers his nose to keep the strong smell out of it. Then nods to Dias.
<Ariel> Raquel> *stays a distance away from the scene... and upwind*
* Dias slowly tilts his head as he stares at something.
* Angela blinks a bit then carefully does as she's told. "This is... wierd..."
* Vyssa pulls out a scanner and moves to scan the body
<DeathStar> 6* The scanner confirms: this man is dead.
<Cassandra`> ...no signs...
<Dias> I know a butcher who could cut beef really well.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances around the scene looking for something off other than the destroyed man.
* Lilith` assuming Drake eventually succeeds-- channels through the makeshift rings and brings Angela off the ground a good five inches. She does not wish to consciously control the movement and Angela cannot, however, hence her lashing the job to Drake of tugging her around.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake helps her along.
* Lilith` moves to be with Raquel again, thankfully upwind or her nose would drive her crazy.
<Vyssa> "There doesn't seem to be anything peculiar in the remains..."
* Angela blushes a bit and loats along, tugged by Drake.
<Dias> Hey Marcus...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You know, I know it's fall going onto winter, but isn't this hiking area abit...too quiet?
<Lilith`> "I believe so as well."
<Vyssa> "You'd think there'd be scavengers."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'd think there should be any animals. I don't hear anything
* Marcus` glances up at Dias. '...What?'
<Lilith`> "Katurinasan is right."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin. "Are you sure? Hmmmmm....I see."
* Lilith` nods.
<Dias> I dare you to touch it. 6He looks over at Lilith. 1"You're a scavenger, this should be a feast for you."
<Lilith`> "I am not a scavenger."
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is possible that whatever killed this man has klled the animals.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake seemingly talks to himself.
<Cassandra`> ...yes...they have been spooked...
<Vyssa> "... maybe whatever caused this..."
* Marcus` shakes his head. "No."
<Dias> Or they animals are too scared.
<Vyssa> "... no?"
<Vyssa> "You know something?"
<Marcus`> I was talking to Dias. I'm not touching that.
<Vyssa> "Oh."
* Dias taps his head. 1"Ok so what kills something like this and then doesn't eat it...
<DeathStar> 6* Nearby, where there's some forest, a rustling sound can be heard.
<Dias> ...Bigfoot.
<Vyssa> "I'm glad other people have come to the same conclusion. Whatever did this has driven off or killed the-"
<Cassandra`> ....shhh.
* Vyssa looks over
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks slowly
* Lilith` turns her head.
<Lilith`> "Biiriisan?"
* Cassandra` draws her pistol...
* Angela looks about nervously, and pulls out her gun.
<DeathStar> 6* A bear steps out, roars
<DeathStar> <Drake> Wait, there's bears in Japan/
* Marcus` slides his pistol up, staring at the bear. "Oh crap."
<Dias> Dude. A BEAR! 6He points at the bear, excited.
* Angela shakes her head.
* Vyssa keeps her gun ready, but does not move to attack
<Lilith`> "...Kuma?" 6Stare.
<Dias> I've always wanted to fight a bear. 6He quckly pulls out his fighting gloves and begins fumbling to put them on.
<Vyssa> "..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> You're going to fight a bear?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake puts his fingers to his forehead.
* Lilith` holds out her hand, forming a gravity well beneath the bear.
<Lilith`> "It is not right to kill animals without need."
<DeathStar> 6* The bear urks and falls onto the grass.
<Cassandra`> Just scare it.
<Dias> Well yeah. Than I'm gonna make it my pet. 6He turns away from Drake.
<Vyssa> "You are insane."
<Angela> "Oh stop picking on the bear..."
<DeathStar> 6* A quick movement, blurry to the eyes, and suddenly there's nothing but a pile of sliced pieces like their murder victim can be seen
<DeathStar> <Katrina> H-H-Holy-D-Did-you-you see-see that
<Cassandra`> Heads up!
<Vyssa> "..."
* Dias takes a step forward towards the bear than stops. 1"Where'd my bear go?"
* Lilith` floats a bit over and ...stares.
<Marcus`> HOLY SHIT! *he stumbles back*
<Lilith`> "Kuma is dead."
<DeathStar> 6* Blood is splattered all over the grass
* Vyssa points to the body
<Angela> "That's gross..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... You didn't sense anything?
<Marcus`> *Theron arches a brow. ".....the grass..killed the bear?"
<Dias> Ok...that was just wierd. 6He quickly takes a step back.
<Lilith`> "No. I sensed nothing."
* Dias than another step, and hides beside Kat.
<Vyssa> "I sensed extremely fast movement."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks scared.
* Lilith` floats around the corpse and then ambles back to Raquel, sensing her fright.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You have to be kidding me. You're hiding behind ME
<DeathStar> 6* suddenly, from where their van is at, a terrible noise can be heard.
* Dias coughs and stands infront of her. 1"No, no..."
<Cassandra`> The van!
* Vyssa aims at the van
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, that van is out of sight
* Marcus` shifts, looking towards, the van.
<Marcus`> ....can't get a visual.
<DeathStar> 6* Out of sight
<Cassandra`> Move!
* Cassandra` starts moving.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
<Lilith`> "Vanusan is dead."
<Vyssa> "... idiot."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake runs toward the van, holding Angela's hand
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks nervous now, following after
<Ariel> Raquel> "...vanu-san?"
* Vyssa follows, cautiously
* Marcus` and Theron both move after Cassandra.
* Dias moves beside Kat, his eyes constantly darting around.
* Angela floats with Drake.
* Lilith` nods to Raquel. "The beast that carried us here."
<DeathStar> 6* After a jog back, they would find the remains of the van, cut to pieces like the bodies.
* Lilith` nods her head respectfully. 1"Vanusan is dead."
<Vyssa> "It isn't a beast, it is a machine."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh great. We're stuck in the middle of nowhere.
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...
<Vyssa> "And, as expected, it is destroyed."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks scared now.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna frowns at the remains. "...does our insurance cover this?"
<Dias> I thought it was going to explode if it was hotwired...
<Marcus`> ....
* Marcus` moves over to a tree and climbs up to the first branch.
<Vyssa> "It was not hotwired, it was sliced into pieces."
<Cassandra`> Hotwired...not eviscerated...
<Dias> Hah, I knew you were lieing. The explosives would've went off.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Okay, let me ask the obvious question. What the hell could cut through the van that fast and easily?
<Vyssa> "What did you expect to see, Cassandra?"
* Dias slowly raises his hand.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't lie.
* Dias sighs and lowers his hand
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Monomolecular blades?"
* Lilith` looks to Drake. 1"A masterpiece katana."
<Angela> "A really, really fast moving mech with really big claws?"
<Dias> No blade could do it that fast.
* Cassandra` moves over to the van, digging the wreckage.
<DeathStar> <Drake> So we're fighting a mech?
<Vyssa> "Strangely, Angela's is the best."
<Vyssa> "Not necessarily."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin. "Could explain why I didn't get any weird magical vibbes."
<Marcus`> Whatever it is, i'm ready to leave now. This is stupid.
<Vyssa> "In fact, I think we would've detected something."
<Dias> A mech couldn't make it through here without taking out trees.
* Lilith` looks to Dias. 1"I beg to differ. The legends of japan were alive in my day and--" rattles on about feudal japan.
* Dias suddenly falls asleep.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're ready to leave before we beat whatever is doing this? Gee, Marcus.
<Vyssa> "You can sense magic?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh, er, of course not. 6Laughs nervously.
<Marcus`> Look, I can't even smell this thing. I don't like that.
<Vyssa> "Do not lie to me."
<Lilith`> "I do not sense emotional spiritual movements."
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... *clears his throat* Lets focus on the kiiller.
<Angela> "Smell? What are you marcus, a hound dog?"
* Cassandra` plugs a datachip into her datapad and tries going through the last few minutes of the van security system in slow motion.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there cautiously, not about to speak, less he would break his concentration.
* Dias stirs awake.
<Marcus`> Sure. *he says, waving his hand*
* Lilith` frowns indignantly. 1"Marcus is not a dog. Marcus smells of a wolf."
<Dias> He's got sensitive nose hairs. 6He nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing, nothing, nothing, then suddenly a blur of green and everyone is destroyed and the feed dies.
<Vyssa> "Did you get anything?"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna pulls out a motion tracker from her belt.
<Angela> "Green blur....?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks along, then notices some grass in a wheel. He pulls it out and the tire deflates.
<DeathStar> <Drake> ow! I cut my finger.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sucks his finger.
<Vyssa> "We can at least rule out invisibility."
<Angela> "You cut it on grass?"
<Vyssa> "What was that?"
* Marcus` stares. "...you cut your finger on some grass?"
<Vyssa> "..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, yeah.
<Angela> "Grass... green..."
* Cassandra` lowers the speed and plays it again...
<Vyssa> "... grass is green."
* Angela blinsk, eyes going dim.
<Angela> "Oh god..."
<Vyssa> "... what?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...it slashed the tire..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hate to break the news, but we're surrounded by miles of grass.
<Dias> Grass green colored El Chupacabra.
* Lilith` closes her eyes, concentrating deeply. She places an inverse well in the center of their clearing, drawing them all off the ground.
<Marcus`> ...I hope the trees aren't evil too..*he glances at his tree*
<DeathStar> 6* As it slows down even more, Cassandra would see blades of green in the blur.
<Cassandra`> ...grass is animated.
* Cassandra` pauses it.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Fascinating. So we're fighting with a creature that looks like grass.
<Vyssa> "Yes. I expected as much when I heard the colour of the blur."
<Dias> Grass monster?! Anyone have a lawnmower?
* Angela is shaking visibly, looking distant.
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns. "...then shouldn't we search for a rocky area?"
* Marcus` frowns. "...I think Angela has finally cracked out..."
* Dias than blinks and see's himself floating, he begins panicing, throwing his arms around. 1"AHHH It'S GOT ME!"
<Vyssa> "Does anyone have a high power particle beam?"
<Cassandra`> Angela...?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...remind you of that station, Cass? The ground attacking us."
* Angela shakes her head. "Grass... oh god the grass..."
<Vyssa> "Which station?"
* Lilith` opens her eyes after she's lifted everyone up, huffing deeply.
<Lilith`> "That ...is a start. We should not be upon the ground, if our enemy is the ground."
<Vyssa> "Yes, we are surrounded by deadly foliage."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Come to think of it, all this grass does look neatly mowed.
<Cassandra`> Mmm-hmm...question is....what is at work this time...
<Vyssa> "... reminds me of home."
* Dias spins around and looks at Setsuna. 1"That really cool moving sand"
<Angela> "Neatly... mowed..."
<Angela> "We have to get out of here..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think Angela's pain pills are doing theirj ob.
<Angela> "No... look... it's a memory I have."
<Dias> It's the gardener!
<Angela> "This is really, really bad."
<Dias> Groundskeeper Jillian.
<DeathStar> <Drake> On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is it?
* Vyssa tries to determine if there is any similarity between where the hiker was, the bear was, and the van. Other than there BEING grass there. Was it at all different?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Do you just tlak to hear yourself talk, Dias?
<Marcus`> From her face...looks like a 15.
<Cassandra`> Angela...what do you remember?
<Dias> Sometimes. 6He floats next to Kat.
<Angela> "Something from Darien's memories..."
<DeathStar> 6* It's a wide plain of grass, with trees and some forest, and a hiker trail.
<Cassandra`> Yes?
<Angela> "The grass is bad, very, very bad."
<Cassandra`> Just explain it.
<Vyssa> "... We already know that."
<Lilith`> "We have accumulated that much."
<Lilith`> "What do we do about it?"
<Angela> "It'll kill us all."
* Dias coughs. 1"Last time I checked, grass burns."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh, guys...? 6He does his classic line when something is approaching from behind.
* Lilith` peers toward Drake.
<Cassandra`> Why? What is with the grass?
<Marcus`> ....*Marcus looks behind them.*
<Vyssa> "... I can't figure out any similarity between the places where the grass attacked."
<DeathStar> 6* A tidal wave of green is approaching at high speeds.
<DeathStar> 6* consuming trees.
<Cassandra`> Move it!
<Angela> ...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MOVE!!!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How can we move it? We're floating!
<Marcus`> Get us out of here Lilith!
<Lilith`> "...I cannot lift us higher."
<Dias> ...Ahhh fuck. 6He tries running, but it's probably hard cuz we're floating
<Vyssa> "Grass does indeed burn. Does anyone have anything that can produce heat?"
<Vyssa> "Horizontal movement!"
* Dias looks at Kat. 1"Quick we need to have sex."
<Cassandra`> Move horizontally then!
* Lilith` turns, a little panicked. If she is, that means trouble.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> WHY?
<Cassandra`> Take us over the van's wreckage!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake tries swimming
<Dias> I figured if we're gonna die, we might as well die enjoying our selves.
* Lilith` holds her hands out and tries to manipulate the atmospheric pressure with ionic magnetism to get them moving away.
<Marcus`> *Theron widens his eyes, he fires a shot at the grass for pure spite of it all.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I somehow doubt you could satisfy me.
<Vyssa> "... that area would definitely NOT be safe."
<Dias> Ooof. 6He shifts his leg under Kat's and and tries to shoves her uptowards a tree.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pushes herself telekinetically, to get herself well out of the way of that wave of death.
<DeathStar> 6* They somehow move just enough the tidal wave passes by. All that is left behind is grass. Even the van remains are gone.
<Lilith`> "...There are too many of you. I ... I..."
* Vyssa takes a deep breath
<Angela> "They stopped it with..."
* Angela closes her eyes.
<Cassandra`> Angela, you have a hell of alot of explaining to do!
<Angela> "This has to be wrong..."
* Lilith` pants and drops to the ground, along with anyone else floating under her power except for Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hits the ground, freaking out as he lands on grass
<DeathStar> <Drake> AAAAH
<Vyssa> "Do we have anything that can stop the grass?"
* Dias lands on his back.
<Lilith`> "...I cannot sustain that many and maintain focus."
<Dias> Ooof...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hits the ground, not quite making the tree.
* Marcus` breathes heavily. '.....OH SHIT!" when he hits the ground he scrambles to his feet.
<DeathStar> 6* The tidal wave turns back around.
* Marcus` breaks for a Tree.
<Cassandra`> Put us down..the grass is a side-effect, I believe.
* Vyssa lands on the ground and hurries for a tree
<Angela> "I'm thinking okay!"
<Dias> ...AIEEE! RUN! 6He dashes towards Kat to help her up
<Marcus`> *Theron also runs forward, trying to get to a tree.
<Lilith`> "Split up."
* Cassandra` starts moving.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Didn't you see that thing mow down trees? Why the hell are you going to the trees?!
<Marcus`> Where else are we going to go!?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake runs horizontally away from the thing
<Cassandra`> Away from it!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is helped up.
<Marcus`> Oh right. *does what Drake does*
* Lilith` retrieves Angela since Drake has... left her.
* Vyssa just runs then
<Dias> That way, I saw a trail Kat. 6He begins dashing for it.
* Marcus` shifts, moving to the right away from the grass.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina dashes after her. The team scatters to the fourwinds.
* Vyssa runs for the nearest non-grassy spot
<Marcus`> NRP: THeron*
* Angela floats as directed, thinking hard. "Nope... the only time they beat it that makes any sense is fire..."
<Vyssa> "Well, maybe if we had something that produces fire!"
<DeathStar> 6* Eventually, the team has split up into: Raquel, Lilith, Angela - Drake, Vyssa, Marcus - Dias and Katrina - and Cass and Setsuna
* Dias 's phone begins ringing and he answers it as he runs. 1"Now's not a good time...Being chased by grass...No I'm not lieing."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hides behind a tree, looking around
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stops, having lost sight of the tidal wave.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Where are the others?
* Marcus` breathes heavily. "...oh this is retarded."
<Marcus`> ...we were split up.
<Cassandra`> ...just like old times, Setsuna...
<Lilith`> "Fire, is it?"
* Dias stands there beside her. 1"I'm not lieing. I swear...." He hands Kat his phone. 1"Tell her I'm not lieing."
<Angela> "Yes... fire..."
* Lilith` pauses, she forms her inukami, the railblade, and holds out her wrist.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> DEAR GOD, CALL THE ARMY. 6She shouts into the phone.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I wish it was ghosts..."
<Lilith`> "...Need kindling."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...what's the battleplan, Cass?"
<Angela> "Since we on't have coffee... or a giant vat of living whipped creme... God what the hell kinda world..."
* Dias eyes her strangely, he just pulls the phone back. 1"No clue what that was about. Yeah I'll call you when I'm done." He hangs up
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Cassandrab egins to sink into the grass, as it eats her foot.
* Lilith` looks to Raquel and Angela. 1"Do either of you possess light paper?"
* Dias looks over at Kat. 1"So did you a hiker's trail anywhere?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can't remember where it is.
<Angela> "Light paper?"
<Dias> Huh, either can I...
* Angela pulls out an old notebook. "I can spare some pages..."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna stabs the grass with her knife, trying to get it off Cass
* Marcus` shifts to a tree. "....what should we do, i'm completely out of ideas."
<Lilith`> "...Tissue. The likes. Easily burnable."
<Cassandra`> WHat the?!!!
* Angela tears off some pages and hands it to her.
<Vyssa> "Do either of you have some sort of... lighter, I guess."
<Marcus`> I don't smoke...god I wished I did.
* Cassandra` tries frring herself.
<DeathStar> 6* The grass lets go, but Cassandra's left foot is bleeding now
<Dias> We should climb the tree and get a good look around.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Okay, we need a strategy, you two.
* Lilith` kneels at the ground, crumpling the paper into a nest. She places her wrists' ball bearings against them and then grinds the railblade against them, attempting to spark fire.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the grass eats the railblade hole, tearing it to pieces
<Vyssa> <Vyssa> "... you know what? Next time, I'm bringing a flame cannon."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...why the hell would grass attack a person?"
<DeathStar> 6* It rises up in front of Lilith, a grass wall, that tries to engulf her.
<Marcus`> It eats everything...i'm not sure what we can do...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Good idea. I don't want to stand on the grass
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina climbs a tree.
<Vyssa> "For now, find a trail or something."
* Lilith` blinks, holding her hand out with an inverse well in mind to repel it.
* Dias pushes Kat up as far as he can.
<Marcus`> I'll stay right in this tree. *he pats it*
<Cassandra`> ...I'm wounded...
<Vyssa> "... or climb a tree. Maybe."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Marcus, Vyssa, and Drake are surrounded by grass.
<Lilith`> "...M...M-my inukami..."
<DeathStar> 6* Grass walls.
* Marcus` pauses. "...damnit!"
<DeathStar> 6* The grass rises up behind Raquel now.
* Vyssa just fires on the grass. It's better than nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pulls out his glowing black sword, slashing. "Dammit! Stay away!"
* Dias squats and hops up, grabbing onto a branch. He begins to climb up.
<Lilith`> "Ojousama!"
<Ariel> Raquel> "L-lilith!"
<Vyssa> "We really need help here."
<DeathStar> 6* The grass begins to fall down on top of Raquel.
* Marcus` frowns. He has both of his blades out, slahsing out, not really anything else he can do.
* Angela sighs and fumbles for a special bullet from her jacket.
<Vyssa> "... I wish I could've prepared for something like this..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> How the hell could you prepare for this!?
<Vyssa> "I could've brought a flame cannon instead of this."
<Lilith`> "Ojousama, come to me!"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly the grass wall grabs Drake's arm
* Dias continues climbing up the tree.
<DeathStar> <Drake> OH GOD
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches the top, peering.
* Marcus` slides, trying to cut the grass off of Drake, without taking his arm off.
* Lilith` focuses her strength on the inverse well, and grabs Angel's waistband, reaching for Spirit as well. It's the only damn thing -she- can do.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, all the grass attacks stop
<DeathStar> 6* Drake falls over, his arm cut and bleeding.
<Vyssa> "... I don't know what did that, but..."
* Dias hangs onto the tree trunk under her and looks around. 1"See something?"
<Vyssa> "We should move."
<Marcus`> Vyssa, apply first aid to Drake while we move. I'll try to defend.
<DeathStar> 6* A giant grass monster stands behind Dias. Katrina stares.
<Cassandra`> *c* Arakawa to all points...report in...
<Ariel> 6* Raquel clings to Lilith.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ....
* Vyssa nods, doing so
<Dias> Or ignore me. 6He continues peering in his direction
<Vyssa> *c* "We should leave."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She opts to jump off the tree.
* Lilith` is looking a little worse for the wear. She doesn't have the same bite since the railblade was torn to pieces.
* Dias looks down at Kat then over to where she was. 1"Ahh....fuck this is going to hurt."
<DeathStar> 6* The grass monster grabs the tree, unrooting it. It eats Dias whole
* Marcus` taps his comm. "Drake is Injured, Vyssa is applying first aid. We're moving...north."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lands hard, breaking her arm.
<Angela> "We... we should probably move..."
<DeathStar> 6* The others, if they would look around, might notice a 3 story tall giant grass monster in the background.
<Lilith`> "...I will not have much strength from hereout."
<Cassandra`> ...Setsuna...see that?
* Vyssa moves in the opposite direction
<Lilith`> "I am sorry, ojousama. I cannot protect you."
<DeathStar> 6* It turns, then fires a giant dark beam toward Cassandra and Setsuna's position.
* Marcus` pauses, noticing the monster. "...Get Drake to safety." *he breaks into a run, moving for the monster*
<Cassandra`> Setsuna, move! *runs*
<DeathStar> 6* The giant monster lumbers toward Lilith, Raquel, and Angela.
<Marcus`> *Theron lands beside Katrina. "Are you injured?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> *moves to the side* "What the FUCK?"
* Angela whimpers a little, "W-We need to move..."
<DeathStar> 6* The giant beam hits the ground, blowing up a giant hole, knocking Setsuna off her feet, but causing no damage.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Lilith
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina seems to be unconscious
* Angela finsihes loading the bullet, arming the gun.
<Lilith`> "..I can barely keep you mobile, Benetosan."
* Cassandra` pulls out her comm and tries to get a signal to defense forces...
* Lilith` looks to Raquel for an answer for once.
<DeathStar> 6* The green giant reaches for Raquel.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel lashes at it with her knife.
* Angela fires the explosive round into the giants arm.
<Marcus`> *Theron lifts Kat up into his arms and retreats from the monster.
<DeathStar> 6* The hand, being bigger than all of them, seems to really not care. The explosive round destroys the hand, which reforms
* Marcus` comes running up from behind the monster, he glances around.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra gets a signal through
<DeathStar> 6* It reaches again for Raquel
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ...moves back, out of reach?
<DeathStar> 6* Takes a step forward.
* Lilith` moves to be in front of Raquel either way.
<DeathStar> 6* The hand grabs Lilith.
<DeathStar> 6* It lifts Lilith up into the sky, three stories up to where it's head is.
* Lilith` reverts to her Malamute form.
<DeathStar> 6* It eats the dog.
<Cassandra`> I need air support down here. Incendiaries and defoliates. We have a three story abberation on the loose.
<DeathStar> <Voice> What sort of abberation?
<Vyssa> "Drake... do you have any idea how we can damage that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake shakes his head, holding his arms. "I have no idea."
<Ariel> Raquel> "Lilith!" *telekinetically lashes out at the arm that grabbed Lilith.
<Vyssa> "If we had the proper equipment, it would be easy..."
* Lilith` bites onto perhaps a tonsil and digs like only a dog can dig.
<Cassandra`> It seems to have formed itself out of rapidly moving grassblades. It is also capable of firing dark energy beams.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature seems stunned, then Raquel gets trapped under a gravity well
<DeathStar> 6* They hang up on Cassandra.
<Cassandra`> ...bastards...chain of command says respect retired generals, bastards!
* Marcus` stares, he glances left and right, not having any clue what to do. He slides forward, slashing at the back of it's leg with a blade.
<DeathStar> 6* It tries to nab her.
* Vyssa checks her datapad for anything on dark energy. Perhaps there's a counter there.
<DeathStar> 6* The grass monster grabs Raquel
<Cassandra`> Setsuna...we're on our own...
* Lilith` howls.
<DeathStar> 6* IT begins to lift up Raquel. Sadly, only Angela and Marcus are close enough to do anyhting
<Ariel> 6* Raquel screams, and desperately tryies to cut herself free
* Angela tries ifiring a few normal rounds into it.
<Cassandra`> *c* Katrina, can you hear me?1
* Marcus` runs to a tree and runs up it, shifting and jumping off of it, he flies through the air and bring a blade down upon the arm to cut Raquel free, he activates the ripple effect.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is unconscious. Theron would hear her ocmm, though
<Marcus`> <Theron on Comm> Katrina is unconcious.
<Cassandra`> *c* Damn it...I was hoping she had a up to date command code...
<Vyssa> *c* "Does anyone remember anything on dark energy?"
<DeathStar> 6* The grass hand drops Raquel to he ground, turning into normal grass
<DeathStar> 6* The monster reforms it's hand
<DeathStar> 6* It fires a dark beam at Marcus
* Marcus` rolls to the left, back up to his feet, he dashes in, ripple slashing at it's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus suddenly stops moving - gravity well, bitch
<Ariel> 6* Raquel scrambles away from the creature.
<DeathStar> 6* Fortunately, it seems distracted from Raquel.
* Marcus` glares, he growls and goes through the motions shifting into a werewolf, he uses his strength to break through the well, slashing at it's leg with the ripple blade, which looks ackward in his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus doesn't break through
* Cassandra` tries using one of her older priority codes on the military frequency...
<DeathStar> 6* It seems the grass is infinitely more powerful.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you have claws! Let me use that..."
<Marcus`> Damnit, it's using Lilith's powers! Use your ripple abilities!
<DeathStar> 6* It grabs Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* And lifts him up toward it's mouth
* Marcus` cuts at it with the ripple blade, trying to break free.
<Vyssa> "... this is useless."
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus, sadly, can't move his arms in the deadly grip.
* Marcus` bites at its hand.
<Lilith`> <Ojousama, I am infinitely sorry. It is using my abilities!>
<DeathStar> <Drake> I wonder if it'll get dumber from eating Marcus.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to steal the blade from Marcus with telekinesis
* Vyssa attempts to contact the base.
<DeathStar> 6* If Marcus lets go, she could.
* Marcus` does let go.
<DeathStar> 6* It eats Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* The grass forms giant claws now.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares.
* Angela sighs, trying to think of what to do, unable to move much.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope answers. "Yes?"
<Lilith`> <A-ano... I have another visitor. ...A-Aw...>
<Marcus`> <Theron on Comm> This is bad, what should we do Cassandra?
<Cassandra`> *c* ...damn military is ignoring me...and it ate my arsenal already...
<DeathStar> 6* It turns toward Raquel, it's primary target.
<Vyssa> *c* "We have a problem. A big one. If you can assist us in defeating a botanical monster, please do. Even information would help. Oh, it uses dark energy, and absorbs people's powers."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes a step back, armed with the blade. She swings, slashing it in the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Since the creature is facing Raquel, it can't be slashed in the back.
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... did you eat one of my brownies, luv?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel has Ripple's soul, Ripple's amp and Ripple's blade.
<Marcus`> *Theron has since dropped Katrina off with Vyssa, he moves back toward the monster now.
<Vyssa> *c* "No, I did not. What does that have to do with anything?"
<DeathStar> 6* The grass creature howls like a wolf.
<DeathStar> 6* It stumbles.
<Lilith`> <...This is... hell..>
<DeathStar> <Pope> Just checking
<DeathStar> 6* The grass monster uses a gravity well on Raquel.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stumbles under the gravity, and then stabs towards the ground, bring the blade out above the monster, and slowly dragging it across to try to cut it open.
<DeathStar> 6* The monster howls again
<Vyssa> *c* "I have to admit, I've never seen grass attack anyone before."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Well, luv, that's because it doesn't.
* Vyssa just records the events for now
<Marcus`> *Theron slides up, but stays back some, waiting for his opportunity to attack.
<Vyssa> *c* "You tell it that."
<DeathStar> 6* It doesn't seem like it's going to get cut open easily.
<DeathStar> 6* It reaches for Raquela gain.
<Cassandra`> *c* All I have is a standard issue pistol..didn't expect it to eat the van with all my toys...
* Vyssa sighs, and checks over Katrina
<Ariel> 6* Raquel slashes across it's wrist, hoping she can distract it long enough to escape gravity.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin. "I got an idea." 6* He hurries over to the events. "Raquel, you can still speak with Lilith, correct?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake ignores the fact the girl is fighitng for her life.
<Ariel> Raquel> <..yes.> *can't talk, busy fighting*
<DeathStar> 6* Alone.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Perhaps if you both time an attack, you can break through and free the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake takes his sword and stabs it into the grass monster's hand, so it'll quit reaching for Raquel.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Angela, do you have anymore bullets in that gun of yours?
<Marcus`> *Theron finally shifts behind it, using the big sword that was on his back to attack the back of it's leg. "I'll distract it if possible."
<Ariel> Raquel> <...Lilith... on three.>
<Lilith`> <Huh?>
<Angela> "A few..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Get ready to fire it at the spot Raquel attacks.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake shifts, his bad arm aching as he tries to hold the grass hand in place.
* Angela nod and aims.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...try to rip free. 1...>
* Vyssa heads over to Drake once she's sure Kat's alright
* Lilith` relays this information to the two others. She doesn't have anything to break free with.
<DeathStar> 6* The monster tries to kick at Theron
<Ariel> 6* Raquel switches her stance, readying the blade to strike. < 2...>
<DeathStar> 6* Drake strains, his arm shaking. The sword seems fine, but it's like he isn't strong enough to use it
<DeathStar> <Drake> GRAAAAH
<Ariel> Raquel> < 3. > *slashes across the chest of the beast*
<Vyssa> "Are you alright, Drake?"
* Lilith` presumeably announces a signal.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Help support my arm, Vyssa.
* Vyssa does so
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts and drags the blade across the back of it's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake and Vyssa keep the sword in the creature's hand.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, nothing happens
* Lilith` told the morons \o/
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... *sighs, sweat running down his face* Lets try it again
<Vyssa> "What's the plan?"
* Lilith` is probably blaming them for 'ojousama''s plan failing if that's the case.
<Ariel> Raquel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Drake> On three, Angela and Raquel attack one spot, while those inside try to break free.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Try again, Raquel.
* Angela loads a rather large looking bullet into the chamber and locks it, aiming.
<Vyssa> "I wish I could do more, but this gun is hardly effective against grass."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Just help me keep my sword in it's hand, or we all die.
<Ariel> Raquel> *twitch* <..1. 2. 3. GO!> *slashes again*
<Cassandra`> *c* Status...?
* Angela fires the gun, the bullet firing a red blast into the strike.
<Marcus`> *Theron is kicked back, since he didn't dodge, he hits a tree and falls onto the ground roughly.
* Vyssa just helps Drake
<DeathStar> 6* A huge hole rips open from the stomach.
* Marcus` attacks from the inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus, Dias, and Lilith can be seen - stained with grass stains.
<DeathStar> 6* The hole begins to seal.
<Dias> 6A silver hair guy, who's skin is part black darts out, heading towards a tree
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hey, Theron, tell our leader we're doing fine. Just fine.
* Lilith` scrambles to get out. A green-stained mamalute with runic markings.
* Marcus` slashes out with his claws, trying to get out.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel slashes again, trying to get Lilith free.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature loses all its powers, and stops attacking.
<Marcus`> *Theron lifts himself up. "It's why she is the boss..we die, she gets the credit."
<DeathStar> 6* The creature grabs Raquel suddenly.
<DeathStar> 6* It lifts her up.
* Lilith` bites the arm on her way down
<Cassandra`> Setsuna?
* Marcus` lands and then jumps up, clawing at the arm.
<Dias> 6A Dark Matter ball soars towards the arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pants. "I don't have any energy to attack--never mind, no need."
* Lilith` yelps and lets go in that case.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna fires a grenade into it's back
* Marcus` spots the ball and kicks off, away from the blast.
<DeathStar> 6* The arm breaks off and drops Raquel. Suddenly, a grenade blows it up into tiny grass pieces.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake begins to sneeze
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Dramatic timing."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Allergic to grass.
<Vyssa> "... hopefully, it's over now."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake keeps sneezing.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel scrambles over to Lilith.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts, glancing towards Setsuna. "As long as we have wong."
<DeathStar> 6* The landscape returns to normal, with their van normal, and a railgun.
* Vyssa looks to Cassandra. "Rule 2. We do not leave without proper equipment."
* Dias steps out from behind a tree and glances around. 1"So did we get it?"
* Marcus` lands and reverts back to his form, rubbing his neck, he turns and holds a hand out toward Raquel. "My blade."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wakes up, wincing as her bone aches. "O-Ow."
* Lilith` shapeshifts, attempting to retain dignity covered in bits of grass and being smudged green in many places.
<Vyssa> "Please ensure this is followed... I do not wish to die."
<Cassandra`> ...sub rule...we don't leave the proper equipment in the van anymore...
<Lilith`> "...I... Ojousama, I need a bath."
<Vyssa> "That is also important."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, "...as soon was we get back."
<Cassandra`> Where is Angela?!
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a tiny green alien pops out of the grass. It sits there, a midget.
* Marcus` keeps his hand extended out, eyeing Raquel.
* Angela sits there on the ground, sighuing. "I;m here...."
<Dias> AHHH GREEN MIDGET! 6He screams in terror
* Vyssa looks around for her... then readies her gun. It may not be able to shoot grass, but...
<Marcus`> *Theron points his sword toward the midget.
<DeathStar> 6* The green midget freaks out and runs away.
* Vyssa tries to get a recording of the midger
* Lilith` holds her hand out, gravity welling the little guy.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses. "Should...we pursue?"
<Lilith`> "Not so fast, whelp..."
<Cassandra`> ...what...the?
<DeathStar> 6* The little midget smashes face first down, flailing
<Vyssa> "Do you know what that is?"
* Dias suddenly leaps into Raquel's arms.
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... *rubs the back of his head* Weird.
* Lilith` smiles, being quite creepy from her as she walks toward the little green man.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake holds out a hand to help up Angela.
<Vyssa> "It is, but that doesn't help."
<DeathStar> 6* The little green alien flail.s
<Lilith`> "...I do not appreciate those who attempt to harm ojousama..."
<DeathStar> <Alien> Bobobobobobobo
* Angela pulsl herself up with Drake's help, then hangs onto him.
* Marcus` uses the moment of Dias jumping into her arms to get his blade back, he sheathes it and steps over to Cass. "What should we do with it?"
* Vyssa attempts to read the alien as she speaks. "Why did you do that?"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna eyes Cass, just in case she thinks of adopting that.
<DeathStar> <Alien> Bobobobob
* Cassandra` loks at Angela.
* Lilith` contemplates, silently, stepping on it for eating her. But most of all, for placing her solitarily with her two most disliked.
<Cassandra`> Was this part of your memory too?
<Vyssa> "..." *sighs*
<Vyssa> "Anyone understand its speech?"
* Lilith` merely stares at it from pouncing distance, though.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ... is more beaten by Dias than the grass monster.
<Angela> "This part... no."
<Cassandra`> Then what..is...it?
* Dias slowly turns to see he's probably ontop of Raquel now. 1"AHHH ATTEMPTED MURDERER! He scrambles off her, hiding behind Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits on the ground, in too much pain to talk
<Marcus`> *Theron tries to understand it, best he can.
* Vyssa does too, but with no real powers there...
* Marcus` glances at Cass and just shakes his head, he steps over to Kat and kneels down beside her. "Where do you hurt?"
<DeathStar> <ALien> Booobooobooo
<DeathStar> <Katrina> My arm is broken.'
* Marcus` nods once and takes some of the remainder of his ripped shirt and rips it off, he gently, though it would still hurt, makes a makeshift sling for her, after tying the knot he leans back. "That help at all?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> So, glorious leader, now what?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not really.
<Cassandra`> ...good...question...
* Dias eyes Raquel cautiously then move over to Kat. 1"Thanks for letting me get eaten."
* Marcus` frowns. "Sorry."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I thought you'd enjoy it
<DeathStar> 6* The green alien sulks
<Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Dias with hate, from where she was squished on the ground.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses. "Should I kill it?"
* Angela hangs off Drake. "Capture it and go home?"
<DeathStar> 6* It freaks out and quivers.
<Dias> Yeah, but I didn't think...6He motions his head towards Lilith. "Would be in there too."
<DeathStar> <Drake> It looks kind of cute.
<Angela> "It does..."
<Marcus`> <Theron> It tried to kill us all.
<Angela> "We could name it Bobobo."
<Lilith`> "I shall slay it."
<DeathStar> 6* The alien hides it's face in the ground
* Lilith` raises her railblade over her head.
<Angela> "Don't... we beat it..."
<Angela> "It didn't actually kill any of us."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not for lack of trying.
<Vyssa> "It tried to."
<Marcus`> <Theron> OH but the man it killed is alright?
* Lilith` peers over her shoulder. "It killed a traveller and an innocent wood creature."
<Dias> Well I may not get a bear for a pet...But I could use a green midget alien thing.
<Lilith`> "It attacked ojousama. It ate three of us."
<DeathStar> <Alien> Bobobobobo
<Vyssa> "However, we should try to discover what it is."
<Cassandra`> I want to know what it is and what its purpose is.
* Marcus` glances at Kat. "Feel like standing?"
* Vyssa looks to Cass. "Exactly."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Not really. 6she stands up.
* Dias moves over to the alien midget. 1"What's your name?"
<DeathStar> <Alien> Bobo
<Vyssa> "Though, I'm not sure it has a purpose, as such."
<Lilith`> "Perhaps it is like many other animals and merely did what it was best at?"
<Angela> "Only way to properly stufy it is alive."
<Dias> Bobo, I like that. 6He leans down and picks it up, tossing it on his shoulder.
<Angela> "Let's take Bobo home."
<DeathStar> <Drake> It looks like it's another weird entity. Where are these thingsd coming from?
* Angela grins at Dias.
<Angela> "See?"
<DeathStar> 6* All eyes pan to the open box, then back to the team.
<Vyssa> "... lets keep it somewhere SECURE."
<DeathStar> <Bobo> BOOOOO!
* Dias looks at Drake and just shrugs at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake puts his fingers to his forehead.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hooboy.
* Cassandra` pinches the bridge of her nose...
<Dias> Where do guys who think they god's come from?
<Vyssa> "I don't believe this team."
* Lilith` relinquishes her well since Dias retrieved it and dematerializes her railblade.
<Dias> NRP: They're.
* Marcus` goes to help her, but realizes she probably would be offended, so he just nods, then turns to glance back to the others.
* Lilith` returns to Raquel.
<Dias> Ya hungry Bobo?
<DeathStar> <Bobo> BOOOO!
<Lilith`> "Our adoptive parents make no sense, nor do their servants."
<Marcus`> *Theron shakes his head. "I still say we should kill it."
* Dias points at Lilith. 1"I'd say you could eat her but you'd get an upset stomach.
<DeathStar> <Drake> None of this makes sense! 6He says exasperatedly.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...I've been saying that for weeks now."
* Cassandra` pops a tranquilizer...
* Lilith` eyes Cassandra.
<Lilith`> "You are an irresponsible guardian."
* Dias fumbles through his pocket and pulls out a half-melted candy bar and holds it upto Bobo
<Cassandra`> Huh?
* Lilith` turns her back on Cassandra.
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo eats it all.
<Vyssa> "You should not tranquilize yourself at this time."
<Cassandra`> ...did I miss something?
<Dias> Hungry little bugger. 6He moves over to Kat and looks at her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should tranq me. I'm in pain.
<Dias> You what could heal that?
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo swings it's tiny arms. "BOOOOOOO!"
* Lilith` makes her way to Katrina and studies her, then looks around.
<Dias> NR: know what
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo leaps on Angela's head
<DeathStar> <Bobo> Boooo! 6He points ahead.
<Lilith`> "...Normally I could create some salves from the plantlife, but it has been turned to grass."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Everything has beem reverted. *he notes, glancing around*
* Angela smiles and looks up at it best she can.
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... Okay, lets just go home and forget this day happened.
<Cassandra`> Just need to calm my nerves...strees if going to kill me before bullets will...
<Lilith`> "There is a settling property in grasses, however. Would you like me to grind some for your stomache?"
* Angela is still holding onto Drake for stability.
* Dias looks at Lilith than hangs his head. 1"Mood killer.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll be okay for now.
* Lilith` ignores Dias. She is becoming good at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake helps Angela toward the van.
* Lilith` nods at Katrina and returns to Raquel.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: BACK AT HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo leaps in and tackles Billy.
<DeathStar> <Billy> AAAH!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy freaks out for ocne.
<Dias> Look what I found! 6He moves in behind it
<Vyssa> <Terra> *still waits for Em*
<DeathStar> 6* Pope looks up from playing video games.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Pope, do you think she'll sleep much longer?"
<Marcus`> *Theron steps in next, moving over to his seat at the table.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Who knows.
* Vyssa wanders in, sighing
<Angela> "Like him Billy? His name is Bobo."
<Ariel> Em> *still sleeps
<Angela> "He's our new mascot."
<DeathStar> <Billy> OFF! OFF! 6*She freaks out, trying to find a crystal
<Dias> Like 'ell. He's my pet, I claimed him.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "I really need to talk to her about my pyrokinesis..."
<DeathStar> <Bobo> BOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!
* Marcus` steps in, covered in grass stains. "..." he lifts Bobo off and tosses him to Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shudders.
* Dias catches him.
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo waves his tiny arms.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel has commandeered the bath (or shower, if there's no tub), to get the grass cleaned off of Lilith.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ..... ....
<Vyssa> "Andrea? Do you know what that is?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Wait, you have pyrokinesis?
<DeathStar> 6* He helps Angela sit down
* Lilith` sits sullenly in water turning pale green.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... yes...?"
* Cassandra` just slumps in a chair...
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares, then walks off.
<DeathStar> <Bobo> Boobobobo
* Vyssa just looks speechless.
* Marcus` drops his mouth open at Terra. "...we really coulda used you earlier..."
* Dias tosses Bobo at Pope.
<Dias> Get him boy!
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo latches onto his face, biting
<Vyssa> <Terra> "What happened?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> BLOODY FUCKIN' ELL MATE
<DeathStar> 6* Pope throws him down and shoots Bobo voer and over.
* Dias starts laughing then stops.
<Dias> You shot Bobo...
<Marcus`> <Theron> We were attacked by gra-*he pauses, eyeing pope.*
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo lays in a puddle of green blood.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope looks up. "Who!?"
<Vyssa> <Terra> "What did you expect?"
<Dias> Bobo, my pet.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Bloody fucking git.
<Marcus`> ...Dias, clean that up.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you did well today..."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Stupid wanker.
<Ariel> Em> *peeks into the room* "...what's all the gun fire about?"
<Dias> You shot my Bobo...6He sniffles
<DeathStar> <Pope> I killed a frickin' green midget.
<Ariel> Em> "...oh..." *yawns*
* Marcus` moves over and pats Dias on the shoulder. "It's alright, he's in a better place...now seriously, clean that up, it smells."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Heya Em. Sleep well?"
* Dias sniffles. 1"So do...we flush it down the toilet?
* Lilith` looks to Raquel slowly. 1"I feel this was the worst I have performed yet in ojousama's service."
<Marcus`> ...I don't think it'd flush.
<DeathStar> <Bobo> *Reaches up toward Dias* Boooooo...booooo...
<Dias> BOBO'S ALIVE!
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo's green eyes water in pain. "Booooo..." 6He goes limp.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope stomps on it.
<Marcus`> ...was alive.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Die!
<Ariel> Em> "...that's a little over the top."
<Vyssa> "And now it's dead. Send it to forensics."
<Vyssa> "That thing almost killed us."
* Dias slumps even more now
* Marcus` makes a face and shifts back. "Jesus pope you got green on me...wait nevermind." he just shrugs.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...no... you didn't do bad."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...someone clean that fucking shit up."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Fucking 'ell. 6He stomps off, tracking Bobo.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Anyway, you know anything about pyrokinesis?"
<Lilith`> "I believe ojousama, however, my effectiveness was below par."
<Ariel> Em> "...pyrokinesis? Not a thing..."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Seems to be my speciality."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Except I'm not that good with the control."
<Marcus`> Dias. Your pet, your mess. Clean it up. *he repeats, stepping off to clean himself up*
<Ariel> Em> "...didn't know that was even possible."
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo lays there, smashed and shot.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Neither did I until I set things on fire."
<Dias> Oh no, this was the team's mascot. Cass can clean it up.
<Vyssa> "I believe you claimed it as your pet."
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and vanishes before Cass tries to make him do it.
<Cassandra`> Dias and Pope, you both clean it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope stomped off and is no longer around
* Dias suddenly darts off.
<Vyssa> "Loyal team you have."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shivers, traumatized by her experience.
<Cassandra`> Or you don't get paid!
* Dias pops his head back in. 1"We get paid?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grapples onto Setsuna's leg, looking scared of the mess.
* Vyssa looks to Billy. "What's wrong?"
<Cassandra`> ...you would...but...now that you arne't getting it cleaned up...no money for nudey mags for you..
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you okay?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> It scares me.
<Dias> Nudey mags? Oh I'm way past those already.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I've never seen you... scared before."
<Dias> I actually make my own.
<Dias> Ahh shit I said too much. 6He darts off again.
<Vyssa> "I think I can understand why..."
<Cassandra`> Then I won't detonate the nano bomb in your head.
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo nibbles on a brownie.
<Vyssa> "... is that thing still alive?"
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo stops.
* Marcus` steps back in, rubbing his face with a rag, "....I am so sick of green...no offense Vyssa."
<Vyssa> "None taken..."
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...well...Dias...collect your mascot... *pinches the bridge of her nose* ...it moved.
* Dias slides back in. 1"Bobo's alive?
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo looks dead.
<Dias> He looks dead to me.
<Marcus`> ...looks dead to me.
* Vyssa looks unsure why she even stays around here
* Retrieving #taw modes...
* Marcus` pauses and eyes Dias.
* Dias pauses and looks over at Marcus
<Marcus`> Oh god..*he just grabs his head and walks off again*
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo nibbles on the brownie again
<DeathStar> 6* Drake puts an arm around Vyssa
<DeathStar> <Drake> Cheer up.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake seems to have returned, smiling. He hands her a coke, then tosses Angela one.
<Cassandra`> ...he's moving again...
<Vyssa> "I guess things aren't too bad now.."
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo stops.
<Dias> He is? 6He looks at Bobo then at Cass. 1"Don't play with my emotions!"
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'd like to say something. 6He speaks up, holding out his hands to everyone
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Can I chop it up in little pieces?"
<Dias> NO@
<Marcus`> *Theron appears again, he was just hiding behind the couch, he catches the coke before it smacks Angela in the face. "I think the painkillers have taken hold of her."
<Vyssa> "What's that?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> We might be facing some really fucked up stuff, but at least we're facing it together, right? 6* He smiles at them all. "Better than doing things alone."
* Angela blinks a bit, yawning tiredly.
<Vyssa> "Yeah.. I guess so."
<Marcus`> *Theron holds the coke in Angela's face.
<Angela> "Mmm... thanks Theron... I was dozin..." *she takes it*
* Cassandra` eyes Bobo
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hands Cassandra some asprin.
* Dias eyes Drake. 1"You're just screwy. He holds out a candy bar towards Bobo
<Ariel> Em> "If I was alone, I wouldn't be near this 'fucked up shit'." *yawn*
* Cassandra` pops the pills...
<Marcus`> <Theron> It was from Drake. *he says, sliding over to sit down on the couch*
<DeathStar> 6* Bobo eats it, then goes back to being dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake puts the fingers to his forehead, then walks out.
<Dias> Sweet, it know's how to play dead!
<Vyssa> <Terra> "I guess I should think long and hard on whether I want to join or not."
* Dias looks at Terra. 1"Oh it's the bomb, yo"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope walks back out and drops a garbage bin on Bobo, then sweeps him into it.
<DeathStar> 6* He walks out with it.
<Dias> NO BOBO!
<Vyssa> <Terra> "I know all about bombs. This isn't it."
* Vyssa drinks her coke
* Dias eyes Terra. 1"Bombs...
<Marcus`> Least you get paid. *he comes back in, fully clean*
<Vyssa> <Terra> "What?"
<Marcus`> ...so who pissed Drake off? Was it you, Angela?
<Dias> ...Scary.
* Marcus` eyes Angela. "Yeah...probably was you." He glances at Cass. "I'm going for a walk, comm me if you need me." He shifts and turns, stepping out.

Session Close: Thu Oct 04 23:11:37 2007

Session Start: Fri Oct 05 21:58:59 2007
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071005.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 day after last episode, Mini. 10-587.10.9
<DeathStar> Location: The Van
<DeathStar> 6* Drake drives Miss. Cassandra along, eyeing the instructions they got him Terra.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Why are we going here again?
<Cassandra`> Megumi called me asking for a job.
<DeathStar> <Drake> You know, I actually did look through of the files. She's like 15. Don't you think it's a bit dangerous to be taking so many kids on these assignments?
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<Cassandra`> Mmmmm...she went through a war already...
<DeathStar> <Drake> Ah. *rubs his nose* What about Bil-Andrea and Raquel?
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...who?
<DeathStar> <Drake> Your kid and the girl who's the master of Lilith
<DeathStar> 6* Drake makes a lefthand turn.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake parks the fan outside a traditional Japanese style home, though smaller in size than the Arakawa residence. A small flower garden can be seen in the front.
<Cassandra`> I'm used to calling her Billy...
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh? Well, she keeps insisting I call her Andrea. I wonder why. 6He rubs the back of his head.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm... *steps out of the car*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake climbs out, leaning against the van. "Guess I should guard the car?"
<Cassandra`> Is there a reason to?
<DeathStar> <Drake> *shrugs* I guess it feels weird to go into a stranger's home. 6He says sheepishly.
<Cassandra`> Stay with the van if you want then.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'll honk if anything weird happens.
<Cassandra`> Alright. *walks toward the house*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake watches her approach the house, then rubs the back of his head, talking to no one in particular. "You get a weird feeling from that place, too?"
* Cassandra` approaches the door and knocks.
<DeathStar> 6* Moments pass, then the door opens and Erevis stands there, wearing only a long shirt. She blinks once, her hair down and a bit wild, though it looks good on her. Since CAssandra last saw her, it seems to have grown a bit more, putting it's length down past her waist. "General Arakawa." 6She says respectfully.
<Megumi> "E-Erevis...! I was telling you someone was approaching so you could dress.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. But it is not the delivery boy.
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...may I come in...?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head and steps aside for Cassandra to enter.
* Megumi approaches from the hall behind Erevis, a white-haired mid teen wearing a chemise. Apparently dressing in this house is a formality. 1"...That is not the point."
* Cassandra` steps inside, slipping off her shoes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will go put on some clothes and make some tea. 6She bows her head and steps off.
* Megumi perks her elf-like ears a second. 1"..E-ehh!? I recognize that voice." 6It registers. 1"Erevis, you said... 'Arakawa?'"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Please keep her company while I am gone. 6She steps off for her bedroom
<Cassandra`> ....nice place.
* Megumi appears winded, suddenly bowing at the waist to Cassanda, self-consciously holding the ends of her chemise now. 1"My apologies, miss Arakawa. ... ..." 6Awkward. She might have dressed had she known.
<Cassandra`> ...umm..its alright....I dress down too when the curtains are drawn.
* Megumi pauses.
<Megumi> "We do not ...'draw the curtains' often."
<Cassandra`> ...ok...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns with a red sweater, and khakis. She bows her head. "I will prepare tea." 6She steps into the kitchen
* Megumi glances away in the ...other awkward pause. Saved by Erevis, she bows, and enters the bedroom next.
* Cassandra` looks around as the two disappear...
<DeathStar> 6* The house is sparse, with only some furniture. Though the walls do have paintings and drawings that appear to be done by someone living there.
<Cassandra`> ...hmmmm...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back out and kneels at table, setting down cups. She gets back up, goes into the kitchen, then returns with the tea, pouring some for Cassandra, herself, and Megumi.
* Cassandra` kneels at the table as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head politely. "It has been a while, Cassandra Arakawa."
<Cassandra`> Excluding a couple weeks back when I got turned into a teenager.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I remember that. I apologize for doubting you.
<Cassandra`> WE still don't know the full story.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sure, in time, you will discover the true nature of the incident.
* Megumi returns, in a blue yukata, her white hair bound up within two baos. Her eyes are closed, as have been the case since appearing, and she kneels, as if by habit, at the side of the kotatsu to Erevis' right.
<Cassandra`> Now I feel dressed inappropriately.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sips her tea.
* Megumi tilts her head slightly. 1"Why is this, miss Arakawa?"
<Cassandra`> I had not expected that you would adapt to Japanese culture to this extent.
* Megumi angles her head down, a bit embarassed.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm?
<Megumi> "My family was adamant about manners... Though these clothes are from Erevis recently. I fear it is a misunderstanding formed of two seperate instances."
<Cassandra`> How so?
<Megumi> "I did not use to wear these kinds of things, if that is to which you somewhat refer."
* Cassandra` nods...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sips her tea again. "So, what brings you here, General?"
<Cassandra`> Megumi does.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi.
* Megumi tilts her head the other way. 1"I do?"
<Cassandra`> You called me, remember?
* Megumi nods slowly. 1"Yes, but I did not think you favored the idea, so I did not press."
<Cassandra`> I said we would talk about it...
* Megumi nods again. 1"Like now, I sense reluctance. Tones of the voice are as effective as spoken words."
<Megumi> "Forgive me for being presumptuous, however."
<Cassandra`> Well, your age is of course the biggest issue...
* Megumi appears slightly alarmed. 1"...My age?"
<Cassandra`> Yes...you look like a 15 year old...soooo...
* Megumi falls rather quiet. 1"Well that is..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sips her tea.
<Cassandra`> Yes?
<Megumi> "I suppose I am young, yes."
<Cassandra`> I've been taking unnecessary risks lately...I'm having to stop myself now.
* Megumi leans her head back, but since she remains eyes closed, it's a strange notion.
* Megumi reaches up and rubs the end of an elongated ear. 1"Famfrit live, on average, three times longer than humans."
<Megumi> "Although... That does not necessarily mean our capacity remains the same, I suppose. There are many things I still lack."
* Megumi smiles slightly. 1"Especially because of my history."
<Cassandra`> Mmm-hmmm
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets her tea cup down.
* Megumi holds her hand up and laughs softly. 1"Miss knight and mister Starr objected in the past, I believe."
* Megumi pauses a moment, then frowns a little, thinking of something else.
<Cassandra`> What is it?
<Megumi> "Eh... Something I must deal with on my own, I am afraid."
<Megumi> /me smiles weakly. 
* Megumi smiles weakly. 1"It is a complicated manner."
<Cassandra`> I see... *sips her tea*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So, if you not intend to hire Megumi Zhenmei, why did you come?
<Megumi> "E-eh? Hire..?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You did wish to work for her part time, did you not?
* Megumi crosses her arms. 1"I ...thought I had said independent..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not get paid for being independent?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head in thought
<Megumi> "...I think so, or does that not defeat the point?"
* Megumi seems to ponder as well.
<Cassandra`> I suppose I wanted to talk with my friends...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head toward Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. What did you wish to talk about?
<Cassandra`> Just..anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to go blank, then nods once. "Do you find your relationship with Setsuna Asahi biologically-forthcoming?"
<Cassandra`> ...what?
* Megumi suddenly snaps her eyes open, albeit wincing painfully at first, and gapes at Erevis, blushing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> As you are both females, you cannot have children, so I was wondering why you two would be mates.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sips her tea calmly, clearly not realizing this is taboo conversation
* Megumi breathes a heavy sigh and. Sulks.
<Cassandra`> Its an emotionally reqarding experience.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, considering. "So it is not physical?"
* Megumi puts a finger to her lip and looks to Cassandra with her eyes open for the first, the tawny yellow eyes peering intently.
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...well...there is a physcial..component...yes...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How is this biologically possible? You do not have the necessary male parts. ... do you?
* Megumi gulps for some reason, leaning on her knuckles just a bit closer to Cassandra.
* Cassandra` opens her mouth then closes it again...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, looking absolutely serious and curious
* Megumi is strangely similar in her youthful way.
<Megumi> "Please, miss Arakawa, do go on."
<Cassandra`> ...excuse me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Am I asking questions that is making you uncomfortable?
* Megumi leans back, as if Erevis is posing half of her own questions.
<Cassandra`> ...to be honest...yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, looking a bit sullen. "I apologize."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis notes that anything doesn't really mean everything.
* Megumi pouts, digging her knuckles into her lap.
<Cassandra`> You've gone into personal areas...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, then sips her tea, seemingly unwilling to lead the conversation right now.
<Megumi> "...I apologise, miss Arakawa. I did not wish to know of your personal life so much as..."
* Megumi lacks the words to complete her thought... and sips tea instead.
* Cassandra` eyes the both of them.
* Megumi suddenly glances over, panicked. 1"It is acceptable, though, right...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps her eyes on the table.
<Cassandra`> What?
<Megumi> "Relationships that are not biologically-forthcoming."
<Cassandra`> Just...what do you mean by biologically forthcoming...?
* Sera|Returnsat11ish is now known as Seraphna
<Megumi> "What Erevis said... Situations in which offspring do not occur."
<Cassandra`> Not all romantic relationships are about children.
* Megumi nods, as if to a teacher.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Megumi> "I am relieved to hear that, since I had heard otherwise one before."
<Cassandra`> What? From who?
* Megumi looks upward. 1"I... I think you were present, actually."
<Megumi> "It began when mister Durran awoke Erevis and I the day we left for the retired PAX and was discussed aboard briefly."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head to the side.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm...was that when Setsuna and I got pissed off at him?
<Megumi> "I believe so."
<Megumi> "Miss Setsuna is the... one hard to hear coming?"
<Cassandra`> You never see the ninja...until she steals your panties.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Setsuna Asahi steals panties?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, looking utterly shocked.
<Cassandra`> Well...you had to have been there...
<Megumi> "If you are going to steal something, would it not be prudent to not be seen at all?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... why would she want panties. Does she not have enough of her own....?
<Megumi> "Perhaps she admired Cassandra's more than her own?"
* Megumi looks to Erevis, debating it rationally.
<Megumi> "I liked Erevis' kimonos..."
<Cassandra`> Not what I mean...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. So they share each other's clothes.
<Cassandra`> We were about to have sex, alright?!
* Megumi gapes. "...R-Really!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at Cassandra
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But you ...both... 6She just stops talking.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pours more tea. Yes. More tea.
<Megumi> "...So it is possible!"
<Cassandra`> ...what?
* Megumi leans toward Cassandra again. 1"There... There must be a reason for the act to occur besides offspring, right...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs. "We are not suppose to discuss this!"
<DeathStar> 6* She sounds exasperated. Cassandra already got mad once.
<Cassandra`> ...physucal pleasure...ok...
* Megumi stares blankly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Would you like some food? 6She sounds awkwardly to Cassandra, like she wants to go.
* Megumi sits back, staring across the kotatsu toward a wall.
<Megumi> "Huh."
<Cassandra`> ...I'm fine...
<Megumi> "... So... you have sex for pleasure?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' cheeks tinge slightly red, since she's normally pale.
* Megumi taps her lip. 1"Like cooking breakfast?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How is Setsuna Asahi? 6She asks awkwardly, hoping to deter this talk.
* Megumi smiles warmly. 1"I like cooking for Erevis since she rises so late, and sometimes drink tea while watching her, waiting for her to wake up so we can eat."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, tilting her head toward Megumi.
<Cassandra`> ...she thes this thing with her tongue... oh...wait... she is doing well.
* Megumi notes. 1"Asahi... miss Asahi."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at Cassandra in blatant shock now.
<DeathStar> 6* She glances back and forth between the two.
* Megumi peers at Cassandra. 1"Is it when you kiss?"
<Cassandra`> ...I suppose you cna call it that...its our...special kissing.
<Megumi> "Huh, so you are supposed to. I thought it was merely accidental."
* Megumi files that away, and sips tea, perfectly normal.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis coughs on her tea.
* Megumi blinks. 1"Erevis, are you alright?"
<Megumi> "...Drink slower..."
* Cassandra` raises her brow.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will attempt to slow down
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis clears her throat, looking fidgety niow.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How is your adopted child?
* Megumi nods to Erevis, concern fading.
<Cassandra`> She is doing just fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis relaxes. This conversation is normal again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you happy with your new line of work?
<Cassandra`> Those guys drive me crazy...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Which guys?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Cassandra`> Most of the guys in my team.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She considers. "Why do you not fire them?"
<Cassandra`> Good question...meat shields?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Meat shields...
Session Close: Sat Oct 06 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Sat Oct 06 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<DeathStar> 6* She clearly does not get the terminology.
* Megumi seems to be dozing off, or staring into space. That is, the space with Erevis in it.
* Cassandra` eyes Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't seem to notice.
* Megumi sighs gently.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *sips the tea*
* Megumi pauses her daydreaming a moment, and looks over, blinking as she sees Cassandra is noticing. "..."
<Megumi> "...What were we talking about?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Meat shields.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm...
<Megumi> "Iron would be more effective..."
<Cassandra`> ...over your head...
<Megumi> "...Yes, over the head would be more effective than at one's side."
* Megumi twitches one eyebrow, not quite catching on.
<Cassandra`> ...right.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... More tea?
* Megumi smiles broadly. "Yes, please!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up to get some more and exits, leaving the two alone.
* Cassandra` eyes Megumi
* Megumi looks back at Cassandra, jerking back slightly.
<Megumi> "...M-miss Arakawa?"
<Cassandra`> Yes?
<Megumi> "... ... ...Why do you have such ...discerning eyes upon me?"
<Cassandra`> ...are you in love with Erevis?
<Megumi> "Yes." 6Plainly.
<Megumi> "Why do you ask?"
<Cassandra`> Just explains alot.
* Megumi tilts her head scrutinizingly.
<Megumi> "A lot?"
<Cassandra`> Your questions.
* Megumi shifts slightly.1 "I still do not understand much of what you have said, but I feel much better that Erevis has heard another opinion."
<Megumi> "Thank you, miss Arakawa."
<Cassandra`> Ah, I see...
* Megumi bows her head respectfully, then looks up. 1"...Hm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks in and kneels down, pouring Cassandra and Megumi more tea.
<Megumi> "Thank you very much, Erevis..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is no problem.
<Cassandra`> Thank you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis folds her hands in her lap. "I am concerned." 6She says seriously.
* Megumi blinks a few times and looks to Erevis. 1"...Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is a strange man staring at my house.
* Megumi looks to Cassandra.
* Megumi glances back to Erevis.
<Cassandra`> Is he standing by a van?
<Megumi> "Should I... incapacitate him?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I believe he wishes to kidnap me and put me in the van, like the delivery boy.
* Megumi blushes for an indecipherable reason.
<Cassandra`> About this high...looks relatively young?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Megumi> "I could defeat him."
<Cassandra`> He's one of mine.
* Megumi shifts and stares at the ground. 1"... ... ...Oh."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. He is suspicious
<Megumi> "Why not invite him along, then?"
<Cassandra`> He didn't want to come inside.
<Megumi> "Perhaps he is shy."
* Megumi rises slowly and heads for the front door.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is suspicious
* Megumi calls from the opened front door. 1"...Supicious person..! ...Yes, you, sir." 6Bows. 1"Do you wish to come inside with miss Arakawa?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake peers at Megumi oddly. "I'm fine. Out here."
* Megumi keeps her eyes closed. Hideous sunlight radiation. 1"If you insist, it is your discretion." 6Nods. 1"However, we are enjoying tea, you might have been standing for some time and you are alarming miss Erevis. I thought I might offer."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm, uh, good. Is something wrong with your eyes?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits alone with Cassandra
* Cassandra` sips her tea.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe you would find Megumi Zhenmei useful if you decide to contract her out independently. Her age would not be a factor. Especially compared to those who are driving you crazy, as you put it.
* Megumi pauses a moment. "...No, nothing is wrong with my eyes. They are as I was born with."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. I didn't mean to...I'm sorry...You just don't meet many blind people these days
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sounds sheepish.
<Megumi> "...I ...I am not blind..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. .... I see. I didn't mean to imply...
* Megumi finds herself a bit irritated for some reason.
<Megumi> "...Do you wish to come inside or not?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> .... I'll stay here. 6He hangs his head.
<Megumi> "Then might I at least have a name, so as not to refer to you as 'suspicious person' to miss Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, call me Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake shifts, glad she can't see he's armed with a bigass sword, too
<Megumi> "...Nice to meet you, mister Drake."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Nice to meet you, uh.... Megumi?
* Megumi bows, her hands folded before her. 1"I am Megumi Zhenmei, yes."
<DeathStar> <Drake> A pleasure. Well, I don't want to keep you from your friends.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sips her tea, figuring Cassandra understands here.
<DeathStar> *her
<Megumi> "...Plural?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, I meant Miss. Arakawa and the person you're living with. Miss. Erevis.
<Megumi> "I would also ask why you know me, it seems, but if you are an associate of miss Arakawa, then..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, we did sorta meet briefly. You were a doll.
<Megumi> "Oh. I see..."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin
<Megumi> "I am not sure if miss Arakawa and I are friends, however. The last time we met, I was preventing their forced entry."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh.
<DeathStar> <Drake> .oO (Awkward much)
* Megumi bows her head slightly, ducking back within the residence, sliding the door shut.
* Cassandra` sips more tea...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did you deal with the suspicious man who spoke to himself?
* Megumi returns to the kotatsu, nodding to Erevis.
<Megumi> "He does not seem too bad."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm
<Megumi> "He thought I was a blind friend of miss Arakawa, however."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is clearly suspicious
<Cassandra`> Hmmm?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Does he drive you crazy, CAssandra Arakawa? I could ... speak with him
* Megumi nods slightly. 1"I will break both his legs before he does anything to Erevis, though."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head and sneezes
<Cassandra`> He's one of the better ones, actually...its Dias and Marcus who are the worst...
<Megumi> "I could understand that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis momentarily scowls
* Cassandra` nods...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are...eccentric.
<Cassandra`> ...that's an understatement.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What would you describe them as?
* Megumi leans forward, supporting her face with her hands, on her elbows as she glances to Erevis again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not seem to notice
<DeathStar> 6* And so, the conversation continues, with Drake watching from afar
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Sat Oct 06 00:50:24 2007

<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 day after the mini with Lesbian Arakawa - 10-587.10.11
<DeathStar> Location: The Park
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there with her hooded outfit, her gloves slid on. She seems to be meditating as she stands there, her arms spreads out to either side as she takes controlled breaths.
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* ChanServ sets mode: -o Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Compared to Dias, Erevis seems tiny, thin, and very unlikely to stand up to him.
* Dias walks towards Erevis from around a turn, his hands wresting behind his head. A green hooded sweatshirt on with matching black jeans.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't seem to be paying attention.
* Megumi stands off to the side, her hands collected before her, wearing a pale green kimono and a jacket. The two look funny together, but she sure looks warm.
* Dias glances at Megumi, his left eyebrow rising it slightly. He shrugs too himself and moves closer to Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis still seems completely unaware.
* Dias stops a foot away from Erevis, he eyes Megumi again and glances around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes finally. "Are you ready?"
<Dias> You sure you wanna do this. Here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is this location not good? 6She eyes the mostly empty area of the park
<Dias> No, the foliage is a wonderful shade of grey. 6He motions around him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *tilts her head* So are you ready?
<Dias> I'm always ready. 6He rubs the back of his head with one of his hands, the other dropping down to his side.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then we will begin. Please make the first move.
<Megumi> "...Why are you two fighting, again...? So ...early..." 6Yawns, getting used to Erevis' sleep schedule.
<Dias> Alright....6He drops his left hand and throws out his right hand for a quick jab at the same time.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blocks with an open palm of her own right hand. "I desire it."
* Dias presses his fist against her open palm and he swings his left leg low for her shin.
<Megumi> "...A-alright.."
* Megumi "watches" calmly with her eyes shut.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps to the right to avoid it.
* Dias uses the momentum to swing around as he pulls his right fist back, his throws his right fist out behind him as he turns full around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps backwards. So far she is just calmly avoiding.
* Dias spins around to face her fully and shifts his feet around, now bringing his left knee up in a prepped stance and his arms out and up with his knuckle toward her.
* Dias than kicks in, throwing a quick jab at Erevis' chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly has to block by trying to reach out and deflect with her left hand.
* Dias shifts his fist so it deflect in and he drives his elbow against her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back, seemingly unphased by the attack. She turns and jabs at his left shoulder area, aiming to hit a nerve to disable his movement there
* Dias rolls away from it and swings around, throwing his right elbow towards her back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her foot position, arcing her body to let his elbow slam into her hand, if he doesn't change angles.
* Dias let's his elbow slam into her hand. He kicks backwards with the heel of his foot, aiming to nail her shin
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit and she steps back, grimacing.
* Dias shifts around, his feet dragging. He darts in, keeping the gap close and he hops up, throwing his knee towards her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the chest, being knocked backwards off her feet momentarily before gravity begins to drop her.
* Dias reaches down and grabs for her shirt.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs his arm when he does so, then kicks straight into his stomach.
* Dias grimaces as the kicks hits, he shifts his legs back to keep himself from sliding back and he kicks off again, keeping the distance close and this time throwing a right elbow for her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, holding onto his one arm, grapples it and spins him, letting him go, hopefully tossing him away.
* Dias is throwing and he hits the ground awkwardly causing him to roll away.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What are you doing?
<Dias> NRP: is thrown...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms, looking annoyed under the hood.
* Dias pushes himself up, he tosses his hoody behind his head. 1"Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You can do much better than you are doing so. Why are you holding back?
<Dias> Wait...6He scratches the back of his head. 1"You want me to go all out?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Dias> Alright...6He shrugs then shifts into a low crouching stance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts into a defensive position, holding up her hands in front of her.
* Dias darts in low and leaning forward. He plants his left hand on the ground and twists his lower body forward, swinging his left leg out to trip her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis twists and kicks out at the leg first.
* Dias 's leg slams into Erevis, locking. He rolls his body over and plants his other hand, swinging his other leg up towards her midsection.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crouches slightly and puts her arms in front of her, taking the blow. She then reaches down, attempting to grab the extended leg, and apply a grip to it.
* Dias grimaces in pain as her she grips on. He pulls his free leg back and kicks out hard at her shin again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts to grab his foot with her own hand.
<DeathStar> *other
<DeathStar> 6* Then she topples over from her awkward positioning
* Dias sits up, a pained look on his face as he throws a punch for her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the face, letting go. She falls onto her back.
* Dias begins rubbing his legs furiously in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rolls over onto her knees, facing the ground.
<Dias> Holy hell you have a grip on you. 6He pushes himself up a pained look flashing across his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, keeping her back to him. She staggers momentarily. "Your strength is incredible."
<Dias> I live to be the best, I gotta back it up ya know? 6He shifts his feet around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns where they can both see her now. Her lip is bleeding; she doesn't bother to wipe it away.
* Dias nods his head to her, waiting for her to give the ok.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gives it with a punch for his nose.
* Dias throws his elbow upto block.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her body doward, and jabs with her right hand for his nerve joints in his thigh, seeing if she can hit anything
* Dias 's upper body is shoved back from the punch, leaving his lower body exposed, her jab finding it's mark and causing him to collapse onto his other knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis viciously tries to follow up her momentarily advantage with a punch for his jaw.
* Dias is nailed and he hits the ground and bounces away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes deep breaths. She looks exhausted.
* Dias shifts around, his body hunched over the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lowers herself to one knee, taking her labored breaths
* Dias coughs, then spits on the ground, blood hitting it. His hand moves to his jaw and rubs it as he pushes himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him
* Dias stands upright, his body jerking back. He moves his jaw around then spits blood on the ground again. 1"And you pack quite the punch too now."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been practicing
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands again.
<Dias> Guess I'll need to be more careful. 6He shifts his left leg out and leans forward, stretching. Then he does it with his right leg.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances toward Megumi once.
* Megumi seems rather distracted, troubled by something.
* Dias kicks off towards Erevis the second she turns away, moving in fast.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is everything alright? 6She asks Megumi
<Megumi> "...Dias is attacking."
* Dias kicks off and shifts his body sideways going for a hip check.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns suddenly to face him, raising her arms in prepartion of a head shot.
* Dias plants his foot before he connects with the hip check and he twists around, thrusting both hands forward. His hands grab her boobs and squeeze gently.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him in utterly surprise.
* Megumi suddenly seems rather focused on the two.
* Dias stands there a serious look on his face. 1"TITTY TWISTER OF DOOM! He suddenly grips her nipples and twists hard.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces, then freaks out and goes for an uppercut
* Dias head snaps upwards from the uppercut and he lands on his back with a thud
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks pissed off, gripping her fist at him. "I will crush you into atoms."
* Megumi approaches the field at a rapid pace, going for a several hit combo as Dias teeters backward in sweeping motions... mostly to not dirty the kimono.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses as Megumi interferes.
* Dias rolls to the side from her hits. He slams his fists into the ground and stands up a pissed off look on his face.
* Megumi regardless of the outcome, hops backward, her hands before her, panicking on her justification. 1"....F-Foul!"
<Dias> Like hell. 6He dashes in at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi Zhenmei! 6She sounds angry.
<DeathStar> 6* Then sees Dias going after her.
* Megumi raises one arm high like a referee, then her ears twitch and she focuses on Dias, listening to his footsteps, dashing to the side quickly, her senses entirely derived on him-- Her depressed manner from earlier melting away.
* Dias shifts on his leading foot and he kicks out at her mid-section as she dashes to the side.
* Megumi leaps a few inches, draging her legs both up in a bunny-hop like move, actually landing -on- his horizontally attacking leg briefly as if it were a hurdle. She stumbles a slight bit as she lands, but that suits her fine since her only motion is backward. Although her mood seemed to swing, her heart's not in it.
* Dias twists as he flies past her, his hands slams into the ground, dragging along it until they find traction and they dig in and pull himself towards her.
<Megumi> "I am... not here to fight, mister Dias."
* Megumi lifts one of her arms, displaying the kimono sleeve, lightly stepping backward a few more times so that she has a bit of leeway. 1"I am neither likened to the idea anymore, nor dressed the part."
* Dias narrows his eyes and he kicks off, his speed slightly faster. His body twists and corkscrews towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps in front of Dias suddenly.
* Dias slams into Erevis head first, his body twisting into her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' head snaps back and she falls backwards, then she's barrelled into the ground.
* Megumi holds out one hand, gaping. 1"..E-Erevis!"
* Dias hits the ground landing on his side. He rolls onto his stomach and pushes himself up, he suddenly head butts the ground, giving out a sickening thud.
* Megumi frowns slightly as she views Dias, giving a momentary pause and second of thought, then moves to Erevis, kneeling carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes are closed, and blood is running from her nose, she has a cut on the side of her temple, and her lips is still bleeding. She winces, and tries to sit up.
<Megumi> "Please do not move, Erevis..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The fight...is not finished..
<Megumi> "...I ...I interefered. It is inconclusive."
* Dias pushes himself up, blood running down from his forehead, where it connected with the road. His eyes are dazed as he stumbles around
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stubbornly tries to sit up anyway.
* Megumi angles her head toward Dias. "Mister Dias is also acting strange... I believe I have an idea of why, but it is not for me to say if he does not wish to..."
* Dias shakes his head as he regains his senses. He looks at Megumi. 1"WHAT HE HELL'S YOUR PROBLEM?!"
* Megumi winces slightly, calmly reaching into the coat. She removes a pair of earmuffs and dons them, suddenly looking even warmer.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up finally, then begins to stand
<Megumi> "...Erevis.."
<Dias> HERO RULE #4. NEVER GET INVOVLED IN SOMEONE ELSES FIGHT!
<Megumi> "...Hero rule?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' hood has fallen off, which leaves her long hair blowing in the cold wind. She looks dazed and disoriented, but does stand
<Dias> Hero Sub-Rule #4a - Unless allowed by said ally or good person.
* Dias kicks the ground in anger, he begins muttering to himself.
<Megumi> "I do not know what you are referring to, but Erevis is hurt."
<Dias> Because you got invovled...6He stomps his foot against he ground.
<Megumi> "Which is why I would like a moment to help her, and you, if I must."
<Dias> I don't need your help. 6He looks over at Erevis. 1"You still capable of fighting?"
* Megumi frowns. 1"I was not prepared for you foolishness. This scenario was making me think of miss Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will continue our fight.
<Dias> Zephyr...Leave my friend out of this. 6He nods to Erevis, shifting into a stance with his right side turned towards Erevis and his right hand out at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts her hands up, focusing on Erevis. Her stance is not solid.
* Dias shakes his head as he pinches the bridge of his nose.
<Megumi> "...I had been teaching her like this."
<Dias> That's enough out of you. If you step in again, so help me god I'll post nude pictures of your all over the city.
<Dias> NRP: -r
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you do such at thing, I will hurt you.
* Megumi seems very displeased, but Erevis constantly becomes stubborn like this, she moves away again, farther, and facing away from them near a tree.1 "I do not care."
<Dias> Ready Erevis?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Dias begins moving in towards Erevis rather slowly, his eyes twitching several times as he moves in.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis maintains her position.
* Dias stops about two feet away, he holds the position his eyes locked on her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares back.
* Dias slides in and snaps his right fist towards her head, it heads to her cheek, his left leg swings in from behind his other leg going for her knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lazily deflects with her left hand, then is hit in the knee, her stance breaking
* Dias puts left foot down and steps in, closing in tight. He twists on his left foot and shifts instantly into his Muay Thai stance, and he leans forward, throwing two quick elbows into her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes widen suddenly right as he begins to move and she shifts to the side completely.
* Dias hits hair and he spins around, throwing his right arm out in a full arc, about shoulder height.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis ducks down suddenly.
* Dias spins around fully, he takes several steps backwards, his forearms instantly moving into a defensive stance infront of his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, her stance still uneven. She seems barely able to stand.
* Dias finds Erevis finally, he wipes his hand across his eyes, not only for blood but for another reason.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws a punch at Dias that lacks speed.
* Dias lets the punch connect, he winches, spitting up saliva. His hands latch forward to grab onto her collar.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks in surprise.
* Dias pulls himself in, swinging his knee towards her gut.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the gut, winces, and hunches over.
* Dias pulls his knee back and he steps in again, throwing another knee towards her chest now that she's hunched over.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit again and she falls backwards.
* Dias hurls another knee up, but misses her entirely as she falls back. He shakes his head and throws his elbow out again missing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays on the ground, holding her stomach and chest. "I concede." 6She says with difficulty.
* Dias turns to the voice, he looks at Erevis with a concentrated look on his face, his breath deep. He suddenly falls to his knees. 1"Thank god."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays on the ground, curled up a bit. She seems to have no desire to move right ow.
* Megumi turns slightly, only moving that bit for a moment, then calmly moves over and kneels beside Erevis again. "...May I help now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. Her cheeks are flushed, and she's bloody. And she seems to be in quite some pain
* Dias coughs, blood splattering on the ground.
* Megumi holfs Erevis' shoulders lightly, focusing on discerning her troubling systems.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps her eyes clenched shut for the time being
<Megumi> "Mister Dias, do you rescind your previous declaration."
<Dias> No...6He scowls as he rests his head against the ground.
* Megumi winces, that being quite a bit of things to fix. 1"It... It will not feel good, Erevis." 6She looks into fixing them, directing antibodies to ward infections and the likes about the chest and stomach, but for the actual damage, the chest and stomach are her priorities. The most vital.
<Megumi> "Very well."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts to rest her head on Megumi's lap
<Dias> Everything need's to stop moving...6He closes his eyes as he rubs the bridge of his nose.
* Megumi smiles slightly, but wishes that were under better circumstances.
<Megumi> "...If you are going to die, please let me know so that I may prevent it, mister Dias."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis coughs a bit, turning her head so she doesn't get blood on MEgumi
* Dias just laughs at Megumi, his body rocking forward as his head cools itself off from the cold ground
<Dias> I've been drunker than this...
<Megumi> "As have I."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis groans a bit, resting her head back on Megumi's lap. The cold ground seems to not affect her so much
<Dias> You've been drunker than how I feel right now? 6He slowly lifts his head up, squinting as he looks at Erevis and Megumi.
* Dias pushes himself up, stumbling around. 1"Well Erevis...I gotta say, you're quite the opponent."
* Megumi focuses on healing Erevis quietly, rather unconcerned with her kimono in the process.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mumbles something in a half-daze, talking into Megumi's lap
* Dias tilts his head awkwardly at Erevis face i Megumi's lap. 1"Fancy that...Do I get to stick my head there if you heal me too?"
* Megumi shakes her head slowly. 1"No, mister Dias."
<Dias> /me slumps. 1"Than no, you can't heal me." 
* Dias slumps. 1"Than no, you can't heal me." He holds his head up high, snuffing her and he twirls around and stumbles off in a daze, bumping into things
<Megumi> "I do hope he fares home well."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just mumbles again
<Dias> 6A loud crash can be heard and some profanity afterwards
<DeathStar> 6* A cat meows loudly.
* Megumi tilts her head slightly. 1"It would be a shame if he were killed by a stray dog or something."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... ungh... 6She tries to sit up again
* Megumi steadies Erevis with her hands if she insists.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks at Megumi.
<Megumi> "Yes, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you. 6She looks tired.
<Megumi> "You are most welcome."
<Megumi> "I am sorry for my interference..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am surprised you would interfere in a fight.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces slightly. She doesn't seem too bothered she got beat down
<Megumi> "I only interfered because he--" 6Red. 1"...You know."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Grabbed my breasts? A very unhonorable move, but effective.
<Megumi> "Hrmph..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You disagree? 6She glances at her again
<Megumi> "No, but that was not my point."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then what was your point?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head slightly, then gets dizzy from it
<Megumi> "My feelings."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> From him grabbing my breasts.
* Megumi turns her head away, rubbing one of her cheeks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I assure you it was not pleasant.
<Megumi> "... ... ...I did not think so..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will need to add some guard there.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers, studying her outfit.
* Megumi frowns. 1"I will just break anything that nears."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hugs Megumi with one arm.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will make note of that move, however. 6She sounds like she means it
* Megumi angles her head down at Erevis in alarm. 1"...I would not bother you by attempting to defend you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will warn my opponent of the consequences beforehand.
* Megumi pauses, then smiles widely, hugging Erevis, then thinks about it, and continues peering into her nervous system for things to set in motion for repair.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Soon the lake will freeze.
<Megumi> "Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The pond there. 6She points further into the park
* Megumi reaches into her coat and rummages for the sunglasses Erevis gave her, straining a moment to see what it is she might be gesturing at, then nods.
<Megumi> "It is becoming colder. Do you have memories here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces once. Her head still aches. "Not of this particular pond. But I enjoy ice skating. I will take you when the lake freezes."
<Megumi> "...I... I have never 'ice skated,' though I would enjoy anything Erevis would teach me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then it is a date.
<Megumi> "... ...Date..?"
* Megumi tilts her head back, knowing that has far too many parallel connotations. Sigh.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A term humans use when they are going out to do something together in a future setting.
<Megumi> "Yes." 6Nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to stand.
* Megumi shifts her focus to the knee, a bit startled by that. 1"One moment, Erevis..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses again, then nods.
* Megumi waits until she feels it appropriate, since her healing is based on manipulating the existing cells and their tasks, rather than some miraculous magical healing. 1"Alright."
* Dias has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, wobbily still. She almost falls again
* Megumi steadies Erevis with her hug of love.
<Megumi> "Are you cold, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am feeling a bit numb. I do not know if it is from the cold, or the damage I received.
<Megumi> "Best not to take chances." 6She slides herself out of the coat and offers it to Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But then you will be cold.
<Megumi> "Actually..."
* Megumi looks away from Erevis, holding out her hand. It's very subtle at first, but then it becomes apparent, a hazy effect similar to a heatwave.
<Megumi> "I will be fine for a short time, I think. If I absolutely need to be warm."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head with interest.
<Megumi> "It is mostly because of that rune that I was given, and of madame Terra."
* Megumi pulls her hand back, letting it fade away. 1"At least, that is where I derived the idea. I am not 'pyrokinetic' as Terra seems to be, however. I merely move the air about to cause friction. I doubt I could use it to effectively warrant a talent, at least at this time."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> An interesting talent. 6She slips the coat on over her cloak and tactical suit, wincing again.
<Megumi> "Shall we venture home?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A good idea. 6She begins to walk along, slowly.
* Megumi helps her along at whatever pace Erevis sets, receptive to her sounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along quietly, her face feeling bruised already to her. She scowls.
* Megumi glances up at Erevis and smiles gently. She sees no harm in expending a bit for this. It might be cosmetic, but if it means calming Erevis... She closes her eyes and focuses, greatly expediating the rate at which Erevis' metabolism works out the injuries.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She pauses, then glances at Megumi, quirking an eyebrow.
* Megumi falters slightly with a disgruntled sigh.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gives her a smile, closing her eyes.
* Megumi looks up weakly, but that was well worth it!
<Megumi> "...It has been a while since I have had a need of doing so, so I do not think using my advance focus will pose a threat right now."
<Megumi> "Erevis' health is a precedence."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be fine. You have dealt with most of the pain.
<Megumi> ?
<Megumi> NRP: Sis popped up a window. Woops. >_>
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<Megumi> "...I have... mapped it out for your system to rectify itself. I imagine within the afternoon or by morning you will feel as you did before this morning."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have an amazing ability.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"I am still lowly for a Famfrit... I think my actual potential is greater, though."
<Megumi> "You were strong, Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was?
<Megumi> "You are now, as well, merely in a different manner."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not that strong.
<Megumi> "Perhaps you are comparing yourself to the wrong controls."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you mean?
<Megumi> "I think you judge yourself too harshly sometimes..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Xan|Gone has joined #tawny
* Xan|Bed has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Megumi> "Since... You seem to be whole again, why is it that you never seem to access your old talents, anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My old talents? You mean my psionics?
* Megumi nods slowly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have lost that ability.
<Megumi> "How could you lose it?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. Perhaps I am unable to tap this body's potiential
<Megumi> "I do not understand that explanation..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I lost the ability about a year ago. 6She notes.
<Megumi> "Well... yes, I knew that much... I just do not understand why..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Nor do I.
* Megumi frowns. 1"I cannot think of any sort of logical explanation or link to any events that have occured that make sense to lose a specific ability such as that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Megumi continues along in awkward silence.
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive back at the Erevis Pad of Awkwardness
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps inside, pulls off the coat, and hangs it up. Then pulls off her shoes, then her socks, then the cloak and hood, then the tactical suit, until she's pretty much clad in only her undergarments now. She doesn't seem to mind she's making a mess.
* Megumi waits calmly. 1"Do you feel any better now?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. It is also nice not to be burdened with heavy garments.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stretches, clearly not being shy around Megumi despite her professed feelings.
* Megumi nods. 1"Are you hungry, or do you wish to rest?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe I can eat right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks over and goes into the bedroom, laying down face first
* Megumi wanders after, and complacently forms a pile of kimono on the opposite side, facing her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns onto her side, albeit slowly because her body is stiff, to face Megumi
* Seraphna is now known as Angela
* Angela knocks, leaning against her crutch as she waits at the front door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides off the bed, and walks toward the front door.
<Megumi> "Ah... Erevis, I would have... gotten it if you wished. I thought you might not want to..."
* Megumi crawls off the bed and ambles after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens the door. She looks like she's been in a fight, despite Megumi's healing. Oh, and she's wearing only a bra and underwear.
* Megumi approaches the door, wearing a pale green kimono and sunglasses.
* Angela hums to herself, standing in a light skirt and blouse, a jacket over her, blinking softly as she stares at the wounds. In two casts on her legs and leaning on a pair of crutches. "Hey... Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello, Angela Bennet.
<Angela> "Just Angie, if you want hun, I came to see you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh? Why? 6She tilts her head.
* Megumi taps her lip. "...Angela. Yes, I remember."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts as Angela keeps standing there, staring at her without talking. She glances at Megumi.
* Megumi glances to Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you wish to come inside, Angela Bennet? 6She asks after a moment.
* Angela smiles and nods, hobbling in.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets her go inside, then closes the door. "I believe the neighbors were staring."
<Angela> NRP: Sorry, freaking phone.
* Angela blushes a little, "Sorry about that, it's these damn pain killers."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course. I will go get dressed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head, winces, then goes to do so
* Angela allows herself to take a seat, sighing gently, looking about the place.
<Megumi> "Would you like some tea, Miss Bennet?"
<Angela> "Thank you Meg, I'd love some."
* Megumi pauses a moment, pulling the sunglasses down so that her yellow eyes can see Angela directly. "Mm, so you do remember me."
* Megumi smiles gently, then turns and heads for the kitchen.
* Angela smiles softly and leans back, pulling out a bottle and swallowing some pills.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns, wearing an extremely large shirt she typically reserves for sleeping, and khakis. She sits down on a chair. Her hair is let down, as she's too tired to deal with it.
<Angela> "How are you doing Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> As well as can be expected, I imagine. And you? 6She studies the crutches
<Angela> "I had a bad fall recently." *she smiles and pats the crutches* "I see Megumi is living with you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Angela> "So who roughed you up?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm? Oh, I challenged Dias to a battle.
<Angela> "You challeneged him? Why?"
* Megumi returns with a kettle and a set of cups, different from the set for Cassandra.
* Angela stares a little.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I desired to fight him.
<Megumi> "The Erevis I know enjoys rising to challenges... Dias is a considerable one. I would have had to kill him to register defeat in his mind when we matched aboard PAX."
* Megumi places a cup before Erevis, pours, Angela, pours, and then her own, sets the kettle down and rests to Erevis' right.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes her cup, sipping it.
<Megumi> "I was not expecting more guests, Miss Bennet, so I must apologise. I do not have the strength to induce another accelerated regeneration or I would... wish to do something for you."
<Angela> "I ummm... I see... you cna heal?" *she blinks, as if processing that a little slow*
<Megumi> "...Well, Famfrit are specialists in particle manipulation. Under unforseen circumstances I developed different so I can determine living structure relatively quick as long as I can touch it..."
<Megumi> "I do not heal, so much as determine what is missing and direct what exists."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is casually wearing gloves as she sips her tea.
<Angela> "...Sounds a lot like healing to me... interesting powers..."
* Angela shakes her head. Then notices the gloves.
<Megumi> "Well, I do not consider it the concept of healing that many would scribe..."
* Megumi rubs her head slightly. "Since I accelerate your own body's capability with or without the addition of other elements..."
<Megumi> "My power extends to the creation of my weapons, defense, and the manipulation of other matter. Famfrit can do it from a distance, normally, but I am only capable of short-range."
<Angela> "I... see..."
<Megumi> "...I am sorry."
* Megumi glances at the table. 1"That was unnecessary to explain."
<Angela> "Oh no, it's fine, I do the same thing a lot."
<Megumi> "Were you not an engineer of some sort?"
<Angela> "I designed Earth's fleet."
* Megumi blinks, then peers at Angela again. 1"Yet you use such simple measures of reinforcing your leg and walking while injured?"
* Megumi covers her mouth, realizing that was rather rude.
<Angela> "I fix machines dear, I'm no good with humans."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has grown quiet during all this.
<Megumi> "Mm, well, structural integrity does not change much between the two, only the application and method of achieving it..."
<Angela> "I guess..."
* Angela looks at the quiet Erevis. "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' head is tilted down and she appears to be asleep
* Megumi falls quiet now, sensing she is doing little for encouraging happieness.
* Angela sighs softly. "I think we put her to sleep Meg."
<Megumi> "She was excetionally weary... We had just returned and lied down when you arrived."
<Angela> "Oh I see... I'm being a big inconvience then..."
* Angela reaches for her crutches.
* Megumi shakes her head.
<Megumi> "It is merely coincidence. I do not sense hostility in your voice, so I would doubt that it was an intentional means."
* Megumi motions to the cup. 1"Please enjoy your tea."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes suddenly.
* Angela blushes and nods, takinga sip, looking up as Erevis moves.
* Megumi peers at Angela questioningly.
* Megumi looks to Erevis.
<Megumi> "Erevis, can we kiss?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks her head toward Megumi. "Pardon me?"
* Megumi waits a moment, saying nothing to clarify.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back and forth between Megumi and Angela. She's hoping for an answer.
* Angela blinks and stares.
<Angela> "Wha...?"
* Megumi puts her hand to her lips ponderously. 1"She did not flush like Miss Bennet this time."
* Megumi stares at the table in her own world.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I--do not understand...
<DeathStar> <ERevis> You kissed Angela Bennet?
* Megumi blinks. 1"No."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tilts her head.
<Angela> "I think she was trying to make one of us blush."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh.
* Megumi nods slowly.
* Angela looks around, "I just realised... where's Ariel and Zephyr?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses awkwardly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are at Darien Starr's residence.
<Angela> "But he's still in... does he know?"
* Megumi suddenly glances away, holding one arm.
* Angela blinks, "Jeezus... he didn't mention at my last visit..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. He gave Ariel the residence last year.
<Angela> "Interesting... aren't you still her Pilot Ere?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hai.
<Angela> "So... why the seperation?"
* Megumi moves, drawing closer to Erevis. She leans her head on Erevis' shoulder, facing away from Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts a finger to her chin. "A pilot and her guardian are meant to live together?"
* Angela blushes a little, "I'm jsut used to that being the case, I guess."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh, why?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sounds curious
<Megumi> "Pilot and guradian...?"
* Megumi never asked much about that.
<Megumi> "Mm... Is Miss Bennet a pilot?"
<Angela> "I have been... I used to be a Dragoon."
<Megumi> "Wait..."
<Angela> "Mmm?"
* Megumi thinks on it. 1"You referred to miss knight as 'mom' on the station."
<Angela> "THat's correct."
<Megumi> "That would make you..." 6Jerks slightly, then cowers even more, actually shifting behind Erevis to an extent.
<Angela> "...Make me what?"
<Angela> "Zephyr's sister?"
Session Close: Sun Oct 07 00:00:01 2007

Session Start: Sun Oct 07 00:00:01 2007
Session Ident: #Tawny
* Megumi shifts uneasily.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts a gloved hand on Megumi comfortingly.
<Angela> "It would... but... is there a reason that's troubling?"
<Megumi> "..."
<Angela> "...What is it?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks at Megumi to see if she should explain
* Angela sits back, drinking her tea a little more.
* Megumi doesn't seem that willing to offer anything on the matter. Seems that having a relative present is a bit close to home.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Angela, then sips her tea. "So, why do you believe pilots and guardians should live together?"
<Angela> "Spending time with each other strengthens the bond and the abilities you can weild through it, I was able to do some pretty amazing things when I completely trusted my Pilot..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So trust only comes through living together?
<Angela> "No... but it can help a lot."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She sips her tea again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is it about living together, exactly, that strengths a bond?
<Angela> "The same it does with an relationship, you spend more time with someone, the closer you can get."
* Megumi again, shifts uneasily.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She sips her tea again, considering. "How close were you with your pilots?"
<Angela> "Mmm... very close with every one but Darien... but then we were still good friends, and still are."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. After all, she knows how close Angela is with her pilots. She had a near first hand experience.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Soon Ariel will be married. I do not believe living with her is exactly the norm. Or what Darien Starr would desire upon his release from jail.
* Angela seems to have intentionally left that out as well.
<Angela> "...A point..." *she looks down and sighs* "...she makes him happy."
* Megumi eventually turns and returns to her cup, sipping hesitantly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. He makes her happy as well.
* Angela takes a sip. "It's good for them."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Megumi> "Miss Bennet... were you lonely?"
<Angela> "...What...?" *she looks up, a bit surprised*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Megumi
<Megumi> "It is not a strange question, I think."
<Angela> "I was..."
* Angela stes down the cup. "Sorry..."
<Megumi> "...For what?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She glances at Angela.
* Angela breathes in and sighs, "I-It's nothing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It does not appear to be nothing, but if you do not wish to tell us, we will not pry.
* Megumi tilts her head slightly, looking to Erevis. 1"Can she stay here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses in complete surprise.
* Angela blinks and looks at them both in surprise.
<Megumi> "The night, I mean. The guest room is empty with Ariel gone."
<Megumi> "You two do not speak with the tones that friends might suggest-- However, she seems to not be happy where she is now, perhaps, because Miss Zephyr left."
* Angela looks down, "I don't think it's possible to be happy around Chad Winters."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there awkwardly.
* Megumi twitches ever so slightly. 1"I could understand that."
<Megumi> "I still have the desire to reverse the curvature of his face."
* Angela sighs softly and looks down. "I fully understand if my presence botheres you, Erevis."
<Megumi> "...I am exhausted and I believe Erevis to be as well. I do not see a prospective venture in discussing old wounds in this manner. Perhaps by morning Miss Bennet will be of a sounder mind and we will be less weary of things." 6She peers upward at Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is merely awkward to have you in the same house as myself...at night...sleeping.
* Megumi smiles slightly. 1"I am next to you. If either of you leave either room, you can be sure I will know long before the other."
* Angela smiles, "I can promise you I won't do anything Ere."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head. "If you wish to stay, you may do so."
<Angela> "I-I'd like that... thank you..."
<Megumi> "Erevis, may we sleep now?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. The guest room is that way. 6She tells Angela, pointing in a location.
* Megumi grins at Erevis. 1"You may go ahead, I will just be a minute to clean the cups and kettle."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and stands up.
* Angela helps herself up and gets her crutches. "Thanks..."
* Megumi gathers the cups, waiting for Erevis to leave.
* Angela starts hobbling down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks out.
* Megumi steps back a bit, leaning her head back at Angela.
<Megumi> "Miss Bennet..."
<Angela> "Yes... Meg?"
<Megumi> "I hold no ire for you whatsoever, and I do not claim to know what might have happened in the past-- As many confusing things have before my time-- While Erevis might tell me if I asked, I do not feel that is right."
<Megumi> "So instead, in her place, I will be accepting that promise. If something happens, without her having told me otherwise, there are no walls, let alone paper, that could keep me away."
* Megumi bows her head. 1"Otherwise, sweet dreams, Miss Bennet. You are welcome as far as I am concerned."
* Megumi straightens, smiling gently. She is just... slightly different than a year ago.
* Angela smiles softly. "It's alright Meg, I'd never harm Erevis, even if my life depended on it."
<Angela> "If you want, come into the guest room and I'll tell you what happened."
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"If it involves Erevis, then she will tell me in time, should she feel the need to."
* Megumi bows again, and heads for the kitchen to wash the dishes and set them away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is already on the bed, having taken off everything but the shirt.
<Angela> "I don't think that's true Meg..."
* Angela sighs and hobbles off.
* Megumi eventually makes her way to the bedroom, sliding the door closed and then slowly crawls up onto the bed, looking over at her. Angela can think what she wants. What Megumi wants is hopeless to begin with...
<Megumi> "..Hrmph..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hrmph?
* Megumi smiles weakly. "It is nothing, Erevis. I am sorry to disturb you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are not disturbing me.
* Angela sends Chad a mail that says she won't be in for the night, and goes to sleep.
<Megumi> "I invited someone you seem to dislike to stay in your own home because I found some likeness in us."
<Megumi> "I am sure it is disturbing to a degree."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not dislike Angela Bennet.
<Megumi> "Then I feel I am missing a piece of the continuum."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I was just merely considering past actions in a new light, that is all.
* Megumi nods slowly. 1"I am still sorry."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not be. Angela Bennet is not a bad person.
* Megumi shakes her head again. 1"For my selfish decisions lately."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head toward her.
* Angela stares at the ceiling and sighs. "Lonely... how did she know..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Megumi smiles slightly, before laughing softly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are amused?
<Megumi> "For teasing you, as well. That was uncalled for."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You teased me?
* Megumi nods. 1"Can we kiss...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. So you did not want a kiss? 6She nods once.
<Megumi> "You were kind to me earlier, I should not hav-- E-eh!?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, if you did not one, I suppose I do not have to give one
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns on her side with her back to Megumi
<Megumi> "..I-I never said that!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will remember that you are only teasing in the future.
<Megumi> "...Erevis!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmm?
* Megumi rolls onto her back and flails a bit. "...A-agh!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good night, Megumi Zhenmei!
* Megumi holds her head in frustration. "I never said I did not want one..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Megumi. "I know. I was merely teasing you."
* Megumi stares at her blankly for quite some time, before her face almost entirely turns red.
* Megumi attempts to laugh, making horrible concoctions of squeaks and strained breaths.
<Megumi> "..G-..g-got me..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you okay? 6She sounds concerned.
* Megumi reverts to an infantile method of escaping problems. She hides her face behind her hands, believing she is invisible.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans her face really close to Megumi's face
* Megumi is invisible, she says!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps her face a few inches from Megumi's. "What...are you doing?"
* Megumi moves her hands away slowly, concealing a bit of water in her eyes and her flushed cheeks. 1"...N-nothing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... You are not well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts a hand to her forehead.
<Megumi> "I am fine."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your cheeks are red and your eyes are watering.
* Megumi squints slightly. "I am blushing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. 6She pulls away, giving Megumi space now.
<Megumi> "Otherwise, I could not help crying a little. I thought you were serious a moment ago.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I apologize. 6She sounds regretful. "I will refrain from teasing you."
* Megumi frowns, giving a bit of a pout.
<Megumi> "It... it is fine. Humor is a good thing that... I was never very good at."
<Megumi> "Takes practice, I am told."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know much about humor either.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis decides to go to sleep now.
* Megumi pouts even more. 1"...Do want.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmmm. What do you want?
* Megumi rolls over, glaring at the wall, her enemy.
<Megumi> "A kiss. ...Was... only... teasing to see if Erevis reacted the same way as Angela to something like that..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' reaction can't be seen right now. "I was...more confused than anything, to be honest."
<Megumi> "I know..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts in the bed slightly.
* Megumi reaches up and rummages under the pillows, retrieving the tiger. Hugs it, pouting.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren the tiger watches.
* Megumi sneaks a glance over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is looking up at the ceiling.
* Megumi turns over, still donning her childish expression and holding the tiger, but is too curious to not watch.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slowly turns her head to glance at Megumi.
* Megumi gazes back somewhat intensely, but then shifts her semi-watery eyes to the tiger plush.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up at the ceiling again
* Megumi looks back up to Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
* Megumi slides over and ...cuddles the tiger against Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Megumi, so there's no real space between them, and closes her eyes. Sometimes, can wait another day
<Megumi> 6* Something warm presses against Erevis' lips!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes.
<Megumi> 6The grinning, squinting tiger, the plush one, greets her.
<Megumi> 6He disappears back to Megumi's hug. 1"Good-night, Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good night, Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> -PAUSE-
<DeathStar> -UnPAUSE-
<DeathStar> 6* It is now morning.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is asleep, as always. If Megumi is near by, she would be in a death grip
* Megumi opens her eyes slowly, stirring a tiny amount before realizing she... can't move very well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis appears to be hugging her like she would a plushie
<Angela> * The smell of something good can be detected by Megumi.
* Megumi peers upward. "...Erevis...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is asleep.
* Megumi reaches up and taps Erevis' lips with the tiger.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stirs slightly.
<Megumi> "Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is--nope. Psyche.
* Angela stands in the kitchen, leaning on one crutch as she cooks breakfast.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains asleep.
* Megumi tries it a few more times, blinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing.
* Megumi reaches up and tugs Erevis' cheeks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grunts and opens her eyes.
<Megumi> "Good morning, Erevis..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good morning, Megumi... 6She stares, then lets go of Megumi
* Megumi smiles happily.
<Megumi> "I would not have minded staying like that, yet it seems there is one within the kitchen."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... who is in my kitchen? 6She sounds dangerous
<Megumi> "I am not sure, but almost positive it is Miss Bennet."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6She sulks now.
* Angela hums as she cooks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up now.
* Megumi gathers herself up, then leans on Erevis.
<Megumi> "Well, if you would prefer to lie here squeezing me instead, I am in no mind to complain."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays back down.
* Megumi blinks and lies down beside her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis squeazes Megumi.
<Megumi> "I thought you did not dislike Miss Bennet."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not dislike her. I am merely afraid of what she has done in my kitchen.
<Megumi> "From the sounds and smells... made breakfast. Not half bad, either."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... So we should go eat it.
<Megumi> "That would be the pollite thing to do. I do not think she would make breakfast for herself in someone else's home."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and stands up. She pulls off her shirt, and then pulls on new clothes and khakis
* Megumi slides off the bed, hopping behind Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Megumi hopping
* Angela starts setting out plates.
* Megumi slides back behind Erevis, gently reaching for her hair.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles and pauses in place.
* Megumi forms it into a single french braid and ties the end with one of her bao ribbons, then does her own hair up in a single again to compensate the lack of one ribbon.
<Megumi> "Shall we see what she's experimented with?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Let us brave the chllange before us.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, the two brave the breakfast, on the next episode of TAW4
<DeathStar> 6* And so, Megumi and Erevis go to brave the breakfast by their arch nemesis, Angela Bennet
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* ChanServ sets mode: -o Megumi
* Megumi makes her way behind Erevis, having not changed much from the previous evening as far as attire or whatnot.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into her kitchen, staring at Angela
* Angela looks up, smiling, bacon, eggs, and toast laid out. "Good morning."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good morning, Angela Bennet.
<Megumi> "Good morning, Miss Bennet..."
* Megumi peers around Erevis, obviously enticed. 1"What compelled you to... make breakfast?"
* Angela sits slowly and smiles, "A thank you for the bed for the evening."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies her belongings to see if anything is out of place now from being tampered with
<Megumi> "Mm, this is acceptable."
* Megumi sits down at the kotatsu, her usually side, sort of slumped diagonally with her head nodding off. She's becoming far too used to Erevis' sleeping habits.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits as well.
<Angela> * THe kitchen seems fine, though there appear to be more washed pots then before.
* Angela waits for them to try it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi.
* Megumi seems to be sleeping.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis narrows her eyes toward the food.
* Angela looks at Erevis, a bit nervous now by her actions.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks up a piece of bacon, studying it.
<Megumi> "Erevis... do not glare at the food... it is... not fighting back..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Not yet.
* Megumi makes no reply, apparently never having woken up. Must be dreaming about the first time she cooked them dinner.
<DeathStar> 6* Probably used the same line last time, too
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a bite of the bacon.
* Megumi murmurs... 1"See... it is... alright... ... ..." 6Frown. 1"...Right...?"
* Angela looks at Erevis a bit worriedly.
* Chad`Winters has joined #tawny
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is good. 6She finishes the bacon, then eyes the eggs.
* Angela smiles, "Good."
* Angela digs into the eggs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eats a little bit of the eggs and toast. While she cooks a lot, she rarely eats most of her own food.
<Angela> "Did I doa good job?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She finishes eating after her meager portion. "You are skilled."
* Angela smiles softly, "Would you like more?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am satisfied.
<Angela> "Very well..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there, staring at Angela since Megumi is asleep.
* Angela finishes her plate.
<Angela> "Ere..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Angela> "I'm not... entirely sure what to do or say here..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She sits there. "We could just sit here quietly."
* Angela nods softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once.
* Angela looks down at the table and sighs deeply.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
<Angela> "Megumi was right..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> About?
<Megumi> "Yes, what about?"
* Megumi rubs her eyes.
<Angela> "About why I came."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Megumi> "Mm, this is so..."
* Megumi stretches luxuriously, then pauses. 1"Wait, what?"
<Megumi> "Why you came..."
* Megumi taps her lip, gazing upward.
* Angela looks at her.
<Angela> "You asked if I was lonely."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains quiet.
* Angela sighs gently and looks down again.
<Megumi> "Oh, I see."
* Megumi rubs her head a bit, then glances at the food and helps herself.'
<Megumi> "Then why are you acting so depressed now?"
<Angela> "I'm... being a bother I guess."
* Megumi chews, then swallows. 1"Not really. There are a rare few things that happen here whether one is visiting or not."
<Megumi> "Every person is different, are they not? I enjoy the quiet times with Erevis. We seem content with this, rather than being near the others we met a year ago who seem to thrive on the noisey and irresponsible. We have our own problems... but... that is another story."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis listens
<Megumi> "It is not that you bother me, but perhaps you are searching for a different kind of belonging?"
<Angela> "Not sure what it is really..."
* Megumi glances to Erevis at that, then looks to Angela, and then the table, shrugging.
<Angela> "Ariel barely seems to look at me... Cheryl, Warren and Ben are missing... Zephyr..." *she closes her eyes*
* Megumi winces, choking on a piece of bacon.
<Angela> "Sorry, right, you've got something going on about her..."
* Megumi shakes her head, evading. 1"...I... I miss games with Mister Carmichael."
<Angela> "Warren? Oh right... you two played chess..."
<Angela> "I wish I knew where he was..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains quiet
<Megumi> "It is uncommon to find people that play such games on the level I have obtained."
* Megumi angles her head. 1"I began teaching Erevis the principles of go--" 6She pauses, blushing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head to the side.
* Megumi lulls in an awkward, somewhat happy memory, then shakes her head. 1"I do wonder where Mister Carmichael has gone to."
* Angela sits back, "I don't know... but EarthGOV did a good job of removing and scaring off all of the Generals."
<Megumi> "Scaring?"
<Angela> "Far as I understand it Warren and Cheryl went underground after an attempt on thier lives."
<Angela> "Cassandra's retired... Zephyr had her change... Darien is in jail, and I've been fired."
* Megumi stares slightly. 1"...Attempt on their lives...? Mister Carmichael never said anything about this..."
<Angela> "Word about the base was so... thier apartment isn't really... there anymore either."
* Megumi frowns. 1"If I had known I might have... done something."
<Angela> "What would you have done?"
* Megumi shifts a bit.
<Megumi> "...I... I am not sure, however... I would have done something."
<Megumi> "Based on the evidence and inflections, I could derive the manner of attempt and determine who would have tried. That would suffice to bring them to light, correct?"
* Megumi smiles to herself a tiny amount in satisfaction. 1"Studying physics and advanced mathematics opened many possibilities for me in general, not just with my particle manipulation abilities."
* Angela sighs and closes her eyes a little. "I don't think it helps that hI'm having so many growth spurts right now."
<Megumi> "That is a clear problem when you have broken a limb as such. Forgive me for not being able to help... If I overexert myself I often end up comatose for an undeterminable amount of time."
* Megumi looks to Erevis idly. At least she's back to her normal self.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is asleep
* Megumi takes the opportunity to move over and lean against her.
* Angela blinks and looks between the two.
* Megumi blinks back at Angela. 1"...Yes?"
<Angela> "Are you two..."
* Megumi tilts her head.
<Megumi> "Are we...?"
<Angela> "Are you two... seeing one another...?"
* Megumi looks confused and glances at Erevis.
<Megumi> "We see one another frequently."
<Megumi> "Unless we are outside, then it tends to be only Erevis that sees me."
<Angela> "I mean ummm... jeez I haven't had to use this lingo since PAX... courting?"
<Megumi> "Courting?"
* Megumi tilts her head, frowning. 1"You mean the definitition with mating interests?"
<Angela> "....Pretty much... you two just seem intimate."
* Megumi blinks. 1"That is what I told Erevis."
<Megumi> "However, we are not 'courting' as you put it. I would not know where to start, and she does not share my feelings."
<Angela> "I see... jsut good friends hmm?"
* Megumi nods slowly.
<Megumi> "That is what she said when I confessed I wished for more. I am waiting for her to accept that."
* Angela smiles
<Angela> "I'm glad you two found friendship."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes finally.
<Megumi> "I ...I want..." 6Pouts profusely.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you want?
* Megumi squeals in alarm and falls away from Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at her
* Megumi sits up quickly, brushing off her kimono, looking serious as she composes herself.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
<Megumi> "G-Good morning, Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good morning, Megumi Zhenmei. What did you want?
<Megumi> "...A-aw... You ...said it all again.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I said what again?
* Megumi squints. 1"My whole name."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is your name.
* Angela smiles
<Angela> "Erevis likes to refer to people that way."
* Megumi hugs her knees stubbornly. 1"I know that... I have lived with her a long while now... Yet last night she finally... Hrmph.."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Megumi mumbles quietly about having thought there was progress.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis decides this is another mood swing episode, and goes back to looking toward Angela.
<Angela> "Thank you... for having me over for the night Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should thank Megumi Zhenmei. She saw you were lonely and decided to let you stay.
* Megumi looks like something fell on her head again as she hears Zhenmei.
* Megumi glances up to Angela eerily. 1"The meal was thanks enough... If you do not feel better, then I would be more indebted than you."
* Angela smiles again, though she seems to be attempting to be polite. "I-I'm... I'm feeling a little better... thanks..."
<Megumi> "Lying is not cute."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi.
* Megumi hrmphs, sitting up properly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis clears her throat awkwardly, glancing down at the table now.
* Megumi peers at Erevis curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis appears to think the table is fascinated.
<DeathStar> *fascinating
* Megumi frowns back at Angela.
<Megumi> "Miss Bennet, do you have anyone you love?'
<Angela> "I... did..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks uncomfortable now.
<Angela> "She died on Centerpoint."
* Angela looks down.
<Megumi> "...Oh, that other lady I tried to eat."
* Megumi says this objectively, as if merely confirming in her thoughts.
* Megumi bows. 1"Forgive me, I did not mean to pry the past."
* Megumi sits up.
<Megumi> "I merely thought, based on what I have learned from Erevis, that if you had someone you loved, you would have far less time to dwell on loneliness."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She glances at Megumi, as if trying to put her words into context
* Xan|Bed is now known as Xanatos
* Retrieving #Tawny modes...
<Angela> "I've had... bad luck in that department."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She notes.
<Megumi> "Perhaps, however there is a saying on Famfrit-- 'Destiny is unkind, yet fate is everchanging.'"
<Megumi> "When I was very little it was the motivation behind offworld endeavors when the neighboring system's star collapsed."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ..
* Kimera is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<DeathStar> -END-

<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis puts up the dishes. "What are your plans now, Angela Bennet?"
<Angela> "Not entirely sure... working for Cass whenever she feels suicidal... other then that I'm trying to find a place in the world now."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I meant for the day.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dries her gloves.
<Angela> "Oh... dunno."
<Angela> "I'm overdue for a visit to Darien's cell."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How is Darien Starr?
* Megumi glances upward. "1I have never felt comfortable visiting him there."
<Angela> "As well as anyone can be in his situation... I give him a lot of things to pass the time."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He must appreciate your company.
<Angela> "I think so..." *sighs gently and looks at the table*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... You do not believe this is the case?
<Angela> "Oh I do... I just... it's nothing..." *she blushes, still looking down*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would appear it is not nothing. But if you do not wish to speak about it, I will not pry.
* Angela remains quiet, looking at the table.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis accepts this and goes back to sitting quietly.
<Megumi> "I wonder if miss knight has been visiting him."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I imagine she has waited until she is better.
<Megumi> "Of course, but I mean before..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think so.
<Angela> "Well... for a good while you all were away..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cups her hands together, glancing at Megumi. "Would you like to visit him?"
* Megumi gulps slightly. 1"What would I say to him?"
<Megumi> "He would probably just laugh at me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would he laugh at you?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, looking confused.
<Megumi> "Well..."
* Megumi looks away, leaning an elbow on the table and frowning stubbornly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Megumi> "I suppose I might."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I could drive us there. 6She seems to ignore the lack of license.
<Megumi> "After all, Miss Bennet would visit him again and then he would have the ability to laugh at my expense not being present."
* Angela blushes and grabs her crutches, working herself up.
<Megumi> "Miss Bennet, how do you arrive here on your own?"
<Angela> Public transport and hobbling... most of the time... to get across town I have Montana take me.
* Megumi tilts her head. 1"Montana?"
<Angela> "My Beta unit."
* Megumi doesn't seem any more the wiser.
<Angela> "It's a mindless Dragoon. Beta units were remote machines used for battle. Montana's been my experimental Beta since before we went to the other Galaxy on PAX 2."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs as her attempt to drive has been foiled.
<Angela> "But I suppose Erevis could drive."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Let us proceed
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs her keys and steps out
* Angela follows, hobbling along.
<Megumi> "Um... Miss Bennet..."
<Angela> "Yes...?"
* Megumi frowns. 1"Neither of us have a 'license' for these kinds of vehicles."
<Angela> "...What...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drops her head guiltily.
<Megumi> "I did not mind last time, but madame Terra seemed terrified and miss knight was resigned to fate."
<Megumi> "I assume this is a bad thing."
* Angela stares.
* Megumi nods. 1"This is why I asked how you had arrived."
* Megumi eeps slightly as Erevis seems to have stepped back in.
* Angela sighs, much like her mohter, resigning herself to fate.
<Megumi> "I... I just want the next time Erevis does so to be true and ...legal.."
<DeathStar> 6* Ouch. That hit home. Erevis puts the keys down and quietly turns her back to them. "I will try to get a taxi." 6She walks out
* Megumi sulks.
* Megumi glances at Angela, ready to cry.
* Angela pats her on the back gently.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands by the road, wondering how one attains a taxi
* Megumi sullenly retrieves some sunglasses from a stand near the door and puts them on, closing her eyes before exiting the house.
* Megumi joins her, oblivious.
<Angela> me makes sure the door is locked and hobbles out after her, closing the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis decides to step in front of a taxi.
* Angela makes sure the door is locked and hobbles out after her, closing the door.
<Megumi> NRP: It's a sliding door... do... do we have a lock?
<DeathStar> NRP: I dunno
<Chad`Winters> 6A taxi screeches to a stop, coming several inches from hitting her.
* Megumi shrieks and frantically pulls Erevis back to the sidewalk. ._.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks in surprise
* Megumi pants from fright, her heartbeat just a few tens of beats upward.
<Chad`Winters> 6A silver haired man pops his head out of the drivers window. 1"Most people just wave a taxi down."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She glances at Megumi, then, as if intrigued, puts a gloved hand to her chest to feel her heart.
* Angela eyes him.
<Chad`Winters> 6The silver haired man eyes Angela back than his attention suddenly snaps to Erevis. 1"HOLY SHIT! You're fondling her in public!"
* Angela blinks and looks over at the two, staring.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Fondling? 6She tilts her head.
<Chad`Winters> 6A flash goes off from a camera.
* Megumi blinks down at the hand, then to the other two, then back to the hand and... turns red.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you okay? Your heartrate went up.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> Uhh..nothing. Just ignore me. 6He resumes taking pictures.
* Megumi 's heartbeat certainly isn't going back to normal now.
<Megumi> "I-I thought you were going to be run down!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was merely getting the taxi to stop. It has worked. 6She turns to face the man.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You will take us to prison now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in the back.
* Megumi turns, flushed, and nods a few times.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Angela smiles and giggles, leaning over to the cab driver. "She means EarthGOV Central, the penetentary ward."
* Megumi joins Erevis, a hand to her chest and heaving for a while.
* Dias slowly turns to see Angela and blinks. 1"What are you doing in the passenger seat?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you still not well? 6She puts her hand on her chest again
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Your heartrate is still eratic.
* Angela blinks at Dias. "Wha..."
* Dias quickly adjusts his rear view mirror, ignoring Angela
<Angela> "...Why are you driving a Taxi???"
<Dias> Because they don't drive themselves, now shush, you're killing the mood.
* Angela blinks and stares.
<Megumi> "...Y-yes..."
<Dias> Unlike you, the rest of has have never seen Erevis fondle another woman.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns with concern. "This is unusual." 6She keeps feeling the heart rate.
<Dias> NRP: of us
* Megumi eventually stops panting, but peers almost as curiously as Erevis toward her misbehaving heart.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have ceased your panting. Do you feel better now?
<Megumi> "A little..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hmmm. Do you need anything?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans in close, checking her eyes from the side.
* Dias fumbles his hand forward to start the meter.
* Megumi jerks backwards from that, smacking her head on the backseat passenger window. She slumps a bit, with a stiffled laugh, dizzy.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi! 6* She takes her into her hands, checking her head out now. "Are you okay?"
<Dias> To jail for you three ladies. 6He drops it into gear and hits the throttle, the tires squeeling.
<Angela> "Dias... you... do have a liscense... right?"
<Dias> 6 to be exact.
<Angela> "...I mean one you DIDN'T MAKE TO GET BEER!"
<Dias> I...How was sex with Erevis? Was it good?
* Angela raspberries, giving him the stinkeye as well.
* Dias cranks the wheel at a turn, causing the car to drift around the turn
<Angela> "So does this mean you realise I AM Seraphna now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis ignores their conversation, tending to Megumi's head in very close proximity.
<Dias> I realized it as soon as Seraphna didn't screw up.
<Angela> "Oh scr---- ...DON'T screw you."
* Megumi blinks a few times, then focuses on Erevis and squeaks pitifully, cheeks blazoning.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you hurt? 6She asks as Megumi squeaks.
* Dias jerks the steering wheel as he passes by a slow car.
<Megumi> "N-no... I ..I am alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, but seems to just sit right next to Megumi.
* Megumi sinks back into the seat, staring.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is it?
<Megumi> "C-Close... n-not sleep-snuggling.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Oh. I apologize. 6She goes to the other side of the backseat.
* Dias hits the breaks, coming to a screeching stop at the check-in gate.
<DeathStar> 6* ERevis slams into the front seat.
* Megumi slides forward, smacking her head on the driver's seat and recoiling backwards, dizzy again.
* Dias rolls the window down and leans out, handing the guard an id.
* Megumi teeters and falls over onto Erevis' lap.
* Dias takes the id back and guns it as he goes in.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' face is winced in pain and she appears to be laying there KOed.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias arrives at the parking area.
* Angela shakes her head and tries rousing Erevis.
* Megumi groans against Erevis' thigh and slowly curls into a fetal cat position.
* Dias cranks the wheel and locks the break, causing the car to slide sideways into a parking stall.
* Angela sighs softly, opening the door, removing her seat belt....
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts as the car slides - or from the groaning into her thigh
* Dias hits the meter and eyes it. He gets out and moves to the back door, opening it for them. He peers in. 1"Well ladies, where here."
* Angela pulls out her crutches and works herself out of the car.
* Megumi just groans again, lightly biting at the thigh.
<Dias> Lad....6He pauses, staring at Megumi now, his head tilting slightly
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly jerks from the bite, then sees Megumi and manages to fall out onto Dias' lap.
* Dias stumbles back and slams onto the ground. Erevis ontop of him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did we---did she...are we more intimate now?
<Angela> "...Yes, yes you are."
* Megumi stirs and leans up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grows a shade of red that would put Angela to shame.
* Megumi stares!
<Megumi> "...M...Mister Dias!" 6Fume.
<Dias> Does this make us more intimate? 6He looks up at Erevis.
<Megumi> "E-Erevis move! I want to rend him!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You did not use your mouth on me there. 6She points at the spot.
<Angela> "No. No Dias it doesn't."
* Megumi pauses a moment, then tilts her head.
<Megumi> "...No, why would I do that?"
<Dias> I can if you want. 6He smiles.
* Angela grumbles and starts hobbling for the visitors area.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You just did.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, looking completely freaked.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opts to just follow Angela.
* Dias pushes himself up finally, coughing. 1"Woh, woh. You have to pay to ride the taxi."
<Angela> "We'll send you a bill Dias."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then comes back and pays, her head on the ground
<Dias> Uh uh. Credits first.
* Angela sighs and hobbles on.
* Dias takes the money. 1"Oh and I have something for you Angela.
* Megumi sniffles, on the verge of tears, following Erevis. 1"E-Erevis... You... You are not attracted to Mister Dias are you?"
* Angela blinks and looks at him. "Yes Dias?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
* Dias moves to the trunk and opens it he pulls out a wrapped box and moves over to Angela handing it to her.
<Angela> "What.... what's this?"
<Megumi> "Th-Then why did you leap upon him?!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because you bit me...there..
<Megumi> "I was unconscious..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Dias> A gift for Darien, it's a cake.
<Angela> "...Does it have anything inside it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms, staring at Megumi now, her look a pecuilar one
<Dias> Flour, eggs, milk...
<Dias> Those nifty rainbow things I assume.
* Angela shakes her head and just takes it in.
* Megumi stares up at Erevis, forlorn. 1"...Wh-what, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Angela approaches the mandatory scan detectors.
* Dias turns to walk back to his cab. 1"Well ladies, I hope your ride was a safe and enjoyable one. But I have work to do."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am merely wondering if I should bite you when I am unconscious.
* Dias moves into his vehicle and puts it gear, slowly taking off.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and walks off.
* Megumi follows her, utterly confused. 1"If you were unconscious, how would you know to?"
* Angela pulls out her datapad and wallet, and a strange folded metal item, laying the box seperate from her things.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You knew.
<Megumi> "...I ...I was... dreaming of... ... ..."
<DeathStar> 6* Each item is scanned.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at her
* Megumi sulks. 1"Tuna."
<DeathStar> 6* The cake box goes through and alarms go off. A security agent pulls his gun at Angela
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You thought my thigh was...tuna!?
* Angela points at Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias isn't there.
<Megumi> "No! I was dreaming, unconscious! I did not know I had bitten Erevis!"
* Angela sighs and bows her head. "A friend just gave it to me. I suspect he put something inside just to get me in trouble."
<DeathStar> 6* The security agents decide to put Angela in holding until they can "clear" this matter up.
* Angela just goes along.
<DeathStar> 6* A few hours later
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is asleep on Megumi's lap. The security agents finally release Angela.
<DeathStar> <Agent> I hope you do not mind the searches we had to do on your person.
* Megumi is somehow grateful for this event.
* Angela takes a seat next to them. "Did you have to do it three times?" *she blushes*
<DeathStar> <Agent> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Agent> Your guardian warned us you might hide things...there..
<DeathStar> 6* The Agent walks off.
* Angela sighs, "God dmnm Chad..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bites Megumi's thigh as she sleeps.
* Megumi squeaks next to Angela and blinks.
<Megumi> "...H-How did she?"
<DeathStar> 6* The agents go to get Darien ready for talking
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up and rubs her eyes.
<Angela> "How did I what?"
<Megumi> "Not you... Erevis."
* Megumi blinks at Erevis. `"How did... you bit me." Stare.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Hm?
<DeathStar> <Agent> Are you three ready?
<Angela> "Yep..."
<DeathStar> <Agent> We got you all a conference room, since there's so many girls. Guy must be lucky.
<Megumi> "You bit me." 6Disbelief.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up and walks after the Agent.
* Megumi follows along.
<Megumi> "How... How did you... do that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Teeth.
* Megumi staggers slightly and follows along in shock.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If I desire something, I can do it, even in my sleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien Starr sits on the other side of a table, wearing an orange jumpsuit, handcuffed. His hair is long, and he still has a fullblown beard. It seems he refuses to let those two items go as long as he's in prison.
* Megumi mumbles something about desiring her.
* Angela sighs and takes a seat. "I know I gave you enough razors..."
* Angela sets her crutches to the side.
* Megumi bows before sitting beside Erevis. 1"Hello, Mister Starr."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I've been using them to kill other inmates. 6Megumi would notice his body has bulked up with muscles and he seems much more intimidating than before. And powerful. His blue eyes shift to the two. "I see you have brought some friends."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head and sits as well.
* Angela smiles softly. "Yeah, they wanted to come along."
<Angela> "Still looking good Darien."
<DeathStar> <Darien> So Ariel must be back from her trip. 6He murmurs, then focuses on Angela. "You look as good as ever, but I've noticed you've got crutches."
* Megumi pauses. 1"...You have been killing people? Would that not extend your sentence?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I was joking, Megumi.
<Angela> "I ummm... ran intoa serial killer it seems."
<Angela> "Pushed me off a roof."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow. "I would have thought you would know better than to go on a roof with a serial killer."
<Megumi> "...O-oh..." 6Looks downward.
<Angela> "You know me... I'm good at doing somethign dumb always once."
<Angela> "I didn't realise he was the killer though... thought he was a witness."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, now that you've experienced gravity, try to avoid it again.
* Angela smiles, "Yeah... I don't heal like I used to."
* Megumi stares between the two, almost gaping. Humor! She had forgotten it existed!
<DeathStar> <Darien> The quirks of being a common human like some of the rest of us.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis folds her hands into her lap as she listens.
<Angela> "I'm afraid I didn't pick up many survival habits growing up with super powers."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, here's one for you. Don't fall off roofs.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And never stick your finger into a socket.
* Megumi doesn't look much, if any older at all than she did before, but has her hair up in baos and is wearing a kimono. That's new. She also speaks without using any contractions whatsoever-- Like Erevis.
<Angela> "Gotcha, and you try not sparking civil wars." *grins softly*
* Megumi is starting to feel left behind.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *laughs*
<DeathStar> <Darien> And never tease the cat.
* Megumi sulks slightly.
<Angela> "Seriously... why are you still in jail... wasn't the sentance over months ago?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Someone doesn't like me much.
* Megumi perks her ears at that one. 1"Huh...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts in his seat
* Angela sighs
<Megumi> "...Tease... the cat...?"
<Angela> "Someone doesn't like any of us much."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'd blame Wind, but he's gone.
<Angela> "I've been removed from duty on an honorable discharge."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe that Darien is saying not to tease animals.
<DeathStar> *Starr
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see. From your little vacation?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives Megumi a smile.
<Angela> "Yeah. On top of it, being a minor no longer with military backing, I needed to find a legal guardian."
<DeathStar> <Darien> So you picked Erevis?
* Megumi attempts to smile back, but fails. Then blinks.
<Angela> "I wish, I didn't know she was here. I had only one choice..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Ariel?
<Megumi> "Hm? Picked... Erevis for what?"
<Angela> "She was gone too."
<Angela> "...Chad Winters."
<Megumi> "Oh..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares, then begins to bark with laughter, putting a hand to his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Megumi sidles out of the conversation that leaves her in the dust, leaning against Erevis.
* Angela looks down and sulks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> HA HA HA...HA HA HA HA HA HA
<Angela> "I'd have come to you... but apparently your incarceration won't allow for it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, I'd love to be your guardian, Angela, but I'm afraid I'm not exactly a role model in teh government's eyes.
* Angela keeps staring atthe table.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts his hands down.
<Angela> "I wonder if I could get it transferred to Mom... he'd probably like to be rid of me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Want me to break out of jail and shiv Chad?
<Angela> "Please?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Done.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Shiv...Chad Winters..?
<Megumi> "I... I do not approve."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cups his hands together, glancing at Megumi with humor
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh? Well, then you should be Angela's guardian.
* Angela sighs
<Angela> "I'm sorry DS... they don't catch on too quick."
* Megumi pauses.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You should teach them the ins and outs.
<Megumi> "That... That was a joke."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles widely.
* Megumi nods, and smiles faux.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I find Darien Starr's humor to be frightening.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But yeah, seriously, get a new Guardian.
<Angela> "He's sweetly sarcastic."
<Megumi> "I could not be her guardian."
<Megumi> "Japan, having no records of Famfrit, refuses to believe I am fifty-nine years of age."
<Angela> "I'll have to try approaching Mom... she never really talks to me..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waves his hand in dismissal. "It's okay. I know you're old as dirty.:
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, if Ariel won't do it, here. You got a pen and paper?
* Megumi puffs her cheeks. 1"They say I am fifteen."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I know. Want me to buy you icecream after I get out?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waits for Angela to slide him the goods.

* Angela slides the pad and pen over to DS.
<DS[Zoom]> 6* Darien writes down a complex phone number. "Call this, say in as few as words as possible what you need - a legal guardian - and why, and then wait for it to be sorted out."
* Angela blinks and takes it, staring.
<Angela> "What... is this?"
* DeathStar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DS[Zoom]> 6* Darien just smiles mysteriously, then addresses Megumi. "Then it's a date for ice cream."
* DS[Zoom] is now known as DeathStar
<Megumi> "I... see."
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
* Megumi nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis scowls.
<Megumi> "I cannot accept a date."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks relieved.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hah. Fair enough
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back, a twinkle in his eye.
* Megumi tilts her head, staring at him in confusion.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Anyway, use that if Ariel turns you down.
* Angela nods and blushes a little.
<Angela> "Thanks DS..."
<Megumi> "Why do you need a 'guardian,' Miss Bennet?
<DeathStar> <Darien> No problem. Setting up Guardianships can be my new agenda.
<Angela> "Because acording to the law Meg, I'm just a kid."
* Megumi considers. 1"Are there different rules for universal aliens?"
<Angela> "In all technicalities, an Orphaned one without any legally binding ties, so a bad case."
<Angela> "I think so."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know, Meg. You should probably have Erevis adopt you.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just to be safe.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks.
* Megumi nods. 1"Perhaps this is why I have never been bothered by such things as guardians or schools."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then you can call her mom.
<Megumi> "I have a moth--"
* Megumi ...pauses... then ...sulks.
* Angela smiles softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tilts his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Mimicing Erevis
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, what have you three been up to?
<Megumi> "... ...Our... envoy to my homeworld ended... obviously."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I gathered.
<Angela> "I'm working for Cassandra... to pay the rent."
* Megumi leans up, looking weary. 1"I learned that my mother and father had been killed before I even left Kilek and met the PAX."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien goes to say something when he pauses at Megumi's words
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi sadly, but feels unable to do anything
* Angela blinks and looks a t Meg
<Angela> "Oh..."
* Angela pulls a bottle out of her pocket and pops some pain killers.
* Megumi is compelled to continue while she's at the point of where things can be inferred. 1"Then prompted by the illusional memory of this, I became my other self and massacred around seventeen percent of my moon's people at a military installation, thus convincing Zephyr, whom had been my student for some time, that I was a monster."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien listens, playing his best poker face now.
<Megumi> "It also resulted in miss knight trying to end her life and Erevis being shot by Miss Zephyr."
<Angela> "That explains your freezing up when I mentioned Zephyr is my little sister..."
<Angela> "Even further..."
<Megumi> "...The illusionist who gave me the memory allowed us to enter Erevis' heart after I had stabilized miss knight and we met a Progenitor firsthand. We retrieved Erevis and yet... Things are not the same."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien listens. His stance is noticeably more formal now, which Angela could recognize is not a good thing.
<Megumi> "To summarize, my family is dead, I lost a third of my spirit, Erevis was nearly lost, miss knight was nearly lost, Miss Zephyr was traumatized, hates me and until recently also hated miss knight.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well.
* Megumi scratches her cheek and stares at the table glumly. 1"I will not be visiting home again."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits there, just staring at Megumi.
<Megumi> "... ... ...I should not... have come.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands. "I should get back to my cell."
<Megumi> "Mister Starr..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Guards. I'm ready. 6He calls out.
* Megumi reaches up, lifting her sunglasses upward so she can see him normally.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there as the guards open the door. He seems to be very rigid.
<Megumi> "Hurry up and defeat the one who ...'does not like' you. There are people outside who need you."
* Angela sighs
<Angela> "I'll be backa t the regular time... DS..."
* Angela pulls herself up, grabbing her crutches.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Megumi, as if deciding she's a loose cannon. He steps out with the guards.
<Angela> "Take care..."
* Megumi stands slowly and turns to face the exit, pausing a moment.
<Megumi> "...I... I feel as though ice cream is out of the question."
* Angela starts to hobble out.
<Angela> "Bingo, Megumi."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi, clearly feeling for her.
<Megumi> "Miss Bennet, do you feel that was a mistake?"
* Angela nods.
<Megumi> "...It was wrong of me to tell him?"
<Angela> "Best not to go telling everyone what happened."
<Angela> "Most people don't like to hear that you've slaughtered a large mass of people."
<Megumi> "I realize this, but it is the truth."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along quietly.
<Megumi> "Mister Starr would know eventually. If not from myself, from miss knight, Erevis or Miss Zephyr."
<Angela> "If they ever chose to disclose that."
<Megumi> "... ...I do not feel that hiding it is the correct thing."
<Megumi> "Not from those around me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to decide if Megumi is upset at this, or taking it in stride
* Angela stops and sighs.
<Angela> "Megumi."
* Megumi pauses as well. 1"Yes?"
<Angela> "Did I introduce myself as the killer of three Dragoons, the one who defeated and brought about the end of my Father, Fiance, and best friend?"
<Megumi> "You did not mention anything about Erevis as well, no."
<Angela> "Some things are best left unspoken."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses.
<Angela> "Speaking of them doesn't change anything..."
* Megumi holds her hand out toward Angela, closed, as if she wishes to hand something to her.
* Angela looks over at her.
<Megumi> /me unfurls her fingers, slowly dripping blood from her palm to the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks, moving over to her hand.
* Angela blinks, staring. "Megumi..."
<Megumi> "It is not my intention to boast, but to pass on to those I feel should know, that I recognize what I have done. If I ignore it, nothing will change."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis removes her gloves and takes Megumi's hand, staring at it with concern. Her touch, as always, is like an electric jolt, that doesn't hurt, but definitely is there.
<Megumi> "Though I fear Mister Starr is as Miss Zephyr now..."
* Angela shakes her head, closing her eyes. "Don't bleed without purpose."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is eerily quiet now, glancing at the hand.
* Megumi frowns slightly. 1"I did not mean to. The look he had... My hands tightened."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finally glances up at Megumi's face.
<Angela> "Be more careful." *she sighs* "Remember we've all commited our crimes. No one is perfect."
* Angela smiles softly, looking out a window.
<Megumi> "I am... the opposite of perfect."
<Angela> "Nah, you're a good person."
<Angela> "Erevis would not have that concerned look otherwise."
* Megumi hesitates. 1"... ...Thank you, again, Erevis.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... you're hurt. 6She says softly.
* Angela starts hobbling out again.
* Angela starts hobbling right out of the base, tapping on her datapad.
* Megumi smiles weakly. "I will be fine... Miss Bennet is escaping."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6*She leans forward and brushes her lips gently against Megumi's.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please do not hurt yourself anymore. 6She says after leaning back, and walks after Angela.
* Angela steps outside the base and a shuttle comes zooming down, landing in a safe place.
<Megumi> "..." 6Stares.
* Megumi looks to her hands and presses her palms together, meddling a bit, then slowly follows after Erevis.
* Angela hobbles up a ramp, a large red Beta can be seen in the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at the shuttle, tilting her head.
* Angela turns, looking at them. "I can drop you off, if you'd like. But I'm heading to Ariel's.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks at Megumi, to see if she would rather go back to their house alone, or with Angela.
* Megumi catches up and looks as well. 1"... Um.."
* Megumi looks away a bit, then to Erevis. She seems like she might have a decision, but doesn't wish to make Erevis walk.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will walk, Angela Bennet.
* Angela nods and smiles. "I'll see you again soon?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not plan on going anywhere.
* Megumi bows at the waist, deeply, to Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows as well.

* Megumi stands slowly, a bit off-balance by the last few minutes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances to the side. "Shall we walk home now?"
* Megumi nods twice and pollitely bows her head a third before turning slightly. 1"...Admittedly I do not know where I am."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Hm. 6She considers this herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opts to walk in a direction that suits her
* Megumi blinks and moves to follow, peering at her hands. The punctures have stopped, but they will not heal for the moment, not until she has rested properly and recovered her focuses.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not comment on what happened in the prison, and instead seems focused on getting home.
* Megumi reaches up, her mind elsewhere, fingertips at her lips. She doesn't care for the moment that they have no idea where they are! Either of them!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She pauses as she glances around, then opts to go right.
<Megumi> "...Did you... ...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did I what?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, turning to face Megumi.
* Megumi bumps into her, having been staring at her fingertips.
* Megumi moves back a bit and smiles apologetically before stammering. 1"...D-did you... r-really kiss me..?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Megumi> "Really...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Our lips touched, so that is by definition a kiss.
<Megumi> "Wh-why did you...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She glances to the side.
<Megumi> "P-please tell me?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You were hurting, and I wished to make you feel better.
<Megumi> "...O-oh... That is... why..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Megumi smiles nervously. "I am a burden when I am unhappy, right? So I should cheer up.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are not a burden. I simply do not like to see you unhappy.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Megumi
* Megumi giggles. 1"You are kind, Erevis..."
<Megumi> "I suppose I misinterpreted... I am sorry."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She glances at the sidewalk, her look slightly troubled.
<Megumi> "I... I was not thinking properly, so I thought perhaps you had felt some of the things I do."
* Megumi glances around, are they near a road with traffic?
<DeathStar> 6* Oh, definitely.
* Megumi is looking for a taxi, thinking they are labelled same as Dias'
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is quiet, as if thinking hard about something. She really doesn't notice she's a foot away from traffic demise.
* Megumi blinks and draws closer to Erevis. "1"E-Erevis... come away from the cars, please?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Cars? 6She turns around to look, which puts her even closer.
* Megumi takes another step, glad she had moved closer, hugging Erevis to pull her a few feet away.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis blinks. "If you wished for a hug, I would have turned around to face you."
<Megumi> "I did not want you to get hurt by the cars..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not have been hit. 6She notes sullenly, like Zephyr would when she was chided on something
* Megumi giggles slightly. 1"I am sorry for these misunderstandings, Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is alright.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there as Megumi keeps hugging her from behind. She glances around behind her.
* Megumi isn't crying. Nope, not one bit, not even a little. Well. ...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you crying?
<Megumi> "..N-... ... ...Maybe.."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to turn around to face her.
* Megumi allows her, awkwardly holding her elbows.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Have I done something to upset you?
<Megumi> "Not necessarily..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But a probability.
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"I am sad due to my misconceptions."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances to the side.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I apologize.
* Megumi blinks. 1"No, do not...!"
<Megumi> "Like I said... It was my fault..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have made you sad by kissing you, however. I will avoid further misconceptions.
* Megumi goes deathly pale. 1"N-no!"
<Megumi> "I would prefer misconceptions over such a thing!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tilts her head, not understanding
* Megumi looks down and toes at the ground. 1"I love Erevis... I want to kiss, but only when Erevis wishes so that we can share happiness. If only I love Erevis, then... It is merely for me."
<Megumi> "If that... makes sense, then..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6Seems to try to work that out
<Megumi> "That is... why I agreed not to kiss Erevis on my own."
<Megumi> "Make no mistake, however, that... doing so makes me unhappy.."
<Megumi> "It ...does not."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She considers that, still in a hug lock with Megumi.
* Megumi squeezes Erevis stubbornly.
<DeathStar> 6* People walk around the two, staring. Erevis pauses, and is hugged. She rests her forehead against Megumi's head, as she can't really hug back with the girl having gotten her first
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why do I make you so happy? 6She asks so softly, one might not hear it, if they didn't have Godhearing
<Megumi> "Hm... Did you say something, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, but it is not important. 6She leans her head back up.
<Megumi> "... Really? You get mad at me when I say that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> True. I should say, it is not as important as the large crowd we are gathering around us.
<DeathStar> 6* People, having decided this odd sight, are whispering about the apparant age gap between the two - and wondering if something is up.
<Megumi> "I do not mind them right now... Are they bothering you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you do not mind, then I do not mind.
* Megumi smiles, letting go slightly to peer back at the crowd.
<Megumi> "Could you kindly move on?"
<DeathStar> 6* The crowd starts moving again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches them go, tilting her head
* Megumi looks back to Erevis, smiling weakly. 1"Well, then..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Megumi> "...Did I... make any sense?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... why do you love me? 6She asks.
<Megumi> "...Well!"
<Megumi> "...It is hard to explain something that makes no sense, when one is explaining the sense behind another."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares, baffled
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I apologize.
<Megumi> "I believe..."
* Megumi glances downward and toes at the sidewalk again. 1"...Likely because you supported me in a time when I was confused and absolutely certain I would harm everything I had come to care for while I was willing to risk everything to see it persevere."
<Megumi> "I have not been away from Kilek long even at this point... I am ...not entirely accustomed to what people call 'humanity' since I was little more than an animal for many years having lost it there..."
<Megumi> "Despite not knowing me very well... We seemed to understand one another, perhaps for that very reason. We promised to make sure one another came through it. Afterward... I did not want to leave you alone because I felt responsible... I should have been prepared to do something, anything to help you as I promised."
<Megumi> "...Yet after that... Despite the circumstances, I really enjoyed that time. It was ...serene being with you. Even if it was a misappropriation. The time with you, miss knight and Miss Zephyr was truly my happiest memories since regaining ... me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis listens quietly, her green eyes focused entirely on Megumi's face as she talks. After a long time, Megumi finally finishes, she keeps standing there, slowly weighing the words spoken to her. Which, unfortunately, means an awkward silence from her.
* Megumi stammers. 1"...Th-that is why! I ...think."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And so, because of all this, you find yourself wishing to be intimate with me. 6She notes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> More intimate. 6She corrects. They ARE intimate.
<Megumi> "Well... Yes, that is one way of looking at it."
<Megumi> "As I said, however, I will do nothing unless those are returned."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides her hands behind her. "I believe that you make sense." 6She peers around, then spots a yellow taxi. "Should we go home?"
<Megumi> "Mmh... We should not draw another crowd."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Humans are so strange.
<Megumi> "Agreed."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows up on that line by walking out in front of the taxi
* Megumi shrieks and yanks her back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stumbles back - the taxi keeps on going.
<Megumi> "Please do not do that..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But it the most efficent method of stopping them.
* Megumi waits for another, and holds her hand to the ground, forming a spire in the lane.
<DeathStar> 6* The taxi screeches to a stop, spinning out
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. That is most clever.
<Megumi> "Much safer." 6Nods.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are very efficent.
<DeathStar> 6* The taxi cab driver peers around in amazement
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You will take us to my home. 6She commands, and sits in the back.
* Megumi nods and sits aside her. 1"Yes, please."
<DeathStar> <Taxi Cab Driver> .... ....
<Megumi> "Is there a problem?"
<DeathStar> <Taxi Cab Driver> Yeah. Where's home?
* Megumi snaps, disentegrating the pillar.
<Megumi> "...Oh."
<DeathStar> 6* He pauses, staring at the pillar, then Megumi, then squints.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then tries to remember her street address.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She lists it off, satisfied, then sits back. The cabbie decides to just get them home before more weird shit happens.
<Megumi> "Erevis, there is one thing, now that I think of it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is that?
* Megumi reaches inside the kimono shirt and feels for something resting at the level of the sash. Eventually she pulls it out, the items she had gathered from the crafts store their previous exploit at the mall; Their enemy.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches.
* Megumi holds them out in her upturned palms and closes her eyes. She slowly brings them to a minor levitation around an inch from her thumbs, the items circulating into place. She does not need fasteners or wielding torches, since she can just manipulate the structure into connected at the particle level.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Megumi fastens them all, then even changes the shape until it becomes a slender silver barrette with a slide clip. The main focus, apparently, she planned on making herself. At first having no decoration, she forms her own crystal, building the small set of a lotus, forming every individual, tiny petal one by one until it is a proper ripened flower.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles slowly as Megumi works on designing it. "That is very beautiful."
* Megumi slowly opens her eyes again as she finishes, making sure to adjust the mineral structure so that the reflections bring out a myriad of colour inflections. 1"I hope so, Erevis... It needs to live up to you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Live up to ... me?
<DeathStar> * Erevis blinks, completely confused by that wording
* Megumi nods slowly, then reaches over, lightly tugging her bao ribbon from Erevis' hair, taking out the braid and instead twisting it once, then pulling it up, pinning it there with the new clip.
<Megumi> "It must be enough to not dim Erevis' cute!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, tilting her head back on instinct as if to watch. "I do not see how it could dim my looks. This is much more beautiful." 6She says in awe of the design. "Thank you very much." 6She bows her head.
* Megumi shakes her head, giggling. 1"There will never be another like it. I have made it especially for you, whom I will never meet another."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses momentarily, looking particularly moved by Megumi's words. "I--" 6And the cab comes to a stop outside their house and she bounces off the seats again.
* Megumi repeats her previous escapade as well, minus the biting.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up, scowling in annoyance at the driver. Lucky for him she can't break body parts with her mind like she's thinking
* Megumi sits up slowly, squinting. "...That... That was not what I intended either."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We must remember our seatbelts.
* Megumi calmly exits the vehicle, awaiting Erevis before closing the door. 1"...Those cloth things?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pays the fare, scowling as the cabbie drives off. "I could drive better."
<Megumi> "Yes, Erevis could." 6Nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks pleased with how intelligent Megumi is.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to the house. "I have decided I will make you something to wear as well."
* Megumi tilts her head slightly. 1"Eh...? Well, I... You already bought me the kimonos."
* Megumi lifts a sleeve.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But I did not make them with my own hands.
<Megumi> "This is true, but I did not... intend for us to contest with gifts... I just wanted... to give you something to show... You know.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And I wish to do the same. IS that...wrong? 6She tilts her head.
<Megumi> "...No.."
* Megumi pouts slightly. 1"Was not a contest of gifts. Just a symbol."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns. "I was not making it a contest. I felt the desire to give you something as well." 6She opens the door to the house, stepping in.
* Megumi follows, blinking. 1"...Then... like the kiss..."
<Megumi> "I would very much like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls her gloves off once inside, setting them down. She glances back at Megumi. "However, perhaps I shouldn't make you something to wear. I am not...good at that. ... Hm." 6She pauses, as if derailed by a train of thought, adn walks off.
<Megumi> "I do not mind..."
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi is left alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Poor Megumi.
* Megumi blinks! "A-Ah! Erevis...!" 6Stalks after
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to have gone to a room that she has rarely been seen entering before.
* Megumi grows hesitant and paranoid and approaches with the utmost caution.
<DeathStar> 6* The door is open. As if teasing her
* Megumi gets low to the ground and... slinks. Peers.
<DeathStar> 6* The room is full of paintings and drawings - some finished, some half done. Several are of Ariel and Zephyr, a lot are of Xanatos Durran, and a good number of Megumi herself. Erevis seems to be glancing at a picture that seems to have been done recently - Megumi sleeping on Erevis' bed. Since she hasn't done any painting since she got back, that Megumi would know of, this picture is unusual. Erevis studies it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a paintbrush and opens her paint, going to finish the parts that had been drawn but not painted. She seems completely in thought as she adds in the colors, as if by perfect memory.
* Megumi smiles slightly, and reaches to slide the door closed. She's not particularly sure if Erevis wanted privacy, but the contemplative manner in which she is now at least seems to suggest peace. After closing the door, she heads for the kitchen to wash her hands.
<DeathStar> 6* About an hour passes with no sign of her roomie, until finally Erevis emerges. She has paint on her clothes, face, a little bit in her hair - none on the barrette. She holds the painting, peering around for Megumi.
* Megumi dried her hands off, satisfied they wouldn't infect before she had a chance to deal with them, and then headed to the bedroom to curl on the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets closer, peering down so there's only inches from their faces.
* Megumi appears quiet peaceful herself, having dozed off, probably as a method to forget the day for a while.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and sets the painting up near the bed, then pulls off all her clothes, not really caring about the paint on her face and hair it seems. She then lays down as well.
<Megumi> "...Mmm... Do not... frown at the eggs, Erevis..."
* Megumi murmurs. 1"Being devilled does not mean they are evil.."
<DeathStar> 6* Sometime between going to sleep herself and later, Erevis has once again grappled the nearest object into a hug.
<Megumi> "Urk!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains oblivious
<Megumi> "E-E...ErrIIIvIS...!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis loosens a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* She smells of paint, too
* Megumi goes to protest further, but looks up at her and softens.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts slightly, letting go of Megumi mostly
* Megumi reaches up and retrieves the tiger.
* Megumi glances at Erevis and takes careful aim, and the continuation of the lecherous tiger begins.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis squints.
<Megumi> "Eeerevis...?"
<Megumi> "Erevis...!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, blinking once.
* Megumi sets the tiger aside and rolls atop Erevis, supported by her hands, peering down at her. 1"How... did it go?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes widen momentarily, then blinks, then she looks normal again, as if this was a common occurrance. "It is finished. It is to your right."
* Megumi giggles softly and... rubs her nose against Erevis'. Then leans over, and scrambles off onto the edge upon her stomach to have a look.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up. The painting is a picture of Megumi laying, curled up like she's a cat, in the bed. The painting is extremely realistic, as if the Erevis refuses to paint anything but the truth. However, she manages to capture the cuteness of a sleeping Megumi. Erevis pulls on a shirt, peering from behind at Megumi
* Megumi is stunned, speechless.
<Megumi> "Erevis, you are amazing!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6She sits there, crosslegged, on the bed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You like it? 6She sounds relieved, as if she had been worried
<Megumi> "Of course!"
* Megumi turns her head, grinning. 1"Only way it could be any better was if Erevis and our little friends were in it."
* Megumi reaches over and tugs the stuffed animals into the painting view party.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be sure to make one with all of you in it. 6She sounds amused.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren the lion scowls
<Megumi> "That would be lovely!"
* Megumi hugs Warren. Against his will.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren the lion' bead eyes stare. His enemy
<Megumi> "Hey, Erevis...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Megumi> "I have been wondering since we were with Miss Bennet.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
<Megumi> "Do you think I should apply for proper citizenry and attend school?"
<Megumi> "Once things settle anyway..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks once.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You wish to go to school?
<Megumi> "I do not know. I never have..."
<Megumi> "It might be a way to get to know... humans and their behaviour a little better."
<Megumi> "I doubt I would learn much in the way of applicable knowledge."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I do not know what school is either. However, if you were to apply for proper citizenry, they might wish for you to have a guardian."
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"I doubt it..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I confess I do not know much, but if you wish to attend school, you should.
<Megumi> "Miss Bennet's name suggests she is of a different origin...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... different origin?
* Megumi nods. "Although I know next to nothing about it, you might not know, but my name actually originates from here on Earth."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I had not considered that.
<Megumi> "My grandmother was from the mainland north of this island, China."
<Megumi> "I did some reading and most of the ages pertaining to adults are sixteen there... So I would be just old enough if I claimed to be a chinese descendent returnee."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods.
<Megumi> "I am sure it would be pretty stressful and boring... However, it would give me a chance to learn the local languages. I cannot read japanese or write in japanese or basic."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It sounds as if you have put a great deal of thought into this
* Megumi nods. 1"I am not sure... Humans are weird, though..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Agreed.
<Megumi> "If you think it would be worthwhile, I would go through with it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know if it would be worthwhile. I do not have the proper experience in school. But, if you wish to do this, I supporti t.
* Megumi giggles slightly. 1"You could always come, too!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> To school...?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Megumi> Though if you did, we might have to consider college-level.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to go to school.
<Megumi> "...O-oh.."
<Megumi> "I think I will not then."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You..only desired to go to school if I did so as well?
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"I thought about it before that... If you turn it down so quickly, however, it cannot be that great."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am content with my lifestyle. I do not have a need for school
* Megumi fiddles with one of her ears and glances off.
<Megumi> "I am ...not uncontent, I... have always enjoyed experiencing new things. It is why I left Famfrit originally."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you should go to school
* Megumi blinks, staring a moment. 1"... A-Alright."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will study packaged food recipes.
* Megumi laughs softly. 1"You... do not have to do that..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wish to do it.
<Megumi> "A-alright then... Hee."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stretches on the bed.
* Megumi ...pounces her.
* Xan_Games is now known as Xan_Class
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis actually makes an awkward noise as she is pounched onto the bed.
* Megumi squeezes her to death. Okay, she doesn't squeeze her as hard as she squeezes Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If this is a wrestling challenge, you should have given me forewarning.
<Megumi> "Only if you want it to be, hehe!
* Megumi nuzzles against her stomach.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, naturally, accepts that as a real challenge. She suddenly rolls her body so she's on top.
<Megumi> "Heehee-eeh!"
* Megumi blinks up at Erevis. 1"Hmm..!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis uses her hands to try to pin Megumi to the bed
* Megumi raises her hips up off the bed to get leverage on Erevis and and grabs her wrists, twisting outward on both.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks a bit, straining to pull her hands back
* Megumi supports Erevis on her knees, then yanks herself downward, sliding along the bed. She keeps her hands on Erevis' wrists until she's out, then grabs her waist instead, trying to pull her over, upside-down onto her shoulders
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...? 6*She's momentarily confused by the tactic
* Megumi clenches Erevis' waist in a bear hug, pressing her shoulders against the bed and attempting to avoid her flailing legs kicking her in the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly tries to shift her whole body in one direction, while momentarily reaches, even if it's awkward, to grab Megumi's back or behind or anything.
* Megumi is still wearing one of the kimonos. Could always grab the sash. Not weighing much at all, the yank of Erevis' body is enough to throw her off-balance. She attempts to counter with brute strength, but being low on focus, she doesn't have much.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her weight and momentum in the direction that Megumi is off balance, and either by master design, or sheer luck, grabs the sash and yanks at it at the same time
* Megumi chirps uncontently as she's knocked over, then suddenly grappled by her clothes and pulled the opposite direction, flailing uselessly at the air as she moves.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis literally throws herself on top of Megumi, grabbing her arms and slamming them down onto the bed as she straddles her again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Surrender.

* DeathStar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* DS[Zoom] is now known as DeathStar
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
* Megumi regains her bearings, momentarily dizzy like when she was being propped like a tossed salad in the taxis. She squirms a bit in futility, not having her expenditure focuses to outrightly hurl Erevis off, then stares up at her for a while. However, after a few seconds of staring, she just lifts her chin a bit and and closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis becomes overconfident that Megumi has seen the futility of her ways
* Megumi is apparently blushing by this point, sharing a remarkably similar expression to when she kissed Erevis the first time, just... without the accidental exchange and blatant shock afterward.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans in closer now. "Do you give up?"
* Megumi stirs a little, but nothing really that could be considered resistance. She seems content there lie there, heaving a bit, her head raised a tiny amount toward Erevis, eyes closed in some manner of subconscious expectance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses. "Are you okay? Was I too rough on you?"
* Megumi finally starts to open her eyes again, passive, then blinking a few times, squirming reactively, then dropping to heave a bit, glancing downward-- Ahh!-- Upward and off to the sigh. 1"...N-no... I.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6*She begins to climb off Megumi. Clearly, she crushed the girl.
* Megumi hooks one leg around Erevis' left and reaches up to shove against her shoulders to toss her onto her back instead.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks in surprise, then scowls. "Hey!"
* Megumi half-heartedly directs Erevis' hands over her head, attempting to grip with her fingers of one hand. No real energy behind it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares with skepticism. "I believe you are underestimating me."
* Xan_Class has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Xan|Gone has joined #tawny
* Megumi giggles slightly. 1"Am I, now? Prove it!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. Please do not be disappointed when I break free.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to strain both hands to break free.
* Megumi smiles a bit as Erevis' hands slide out of her fingers' grip.
<Megumi> "You could not disappoint me..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up.
* Megumi reaches to push against her shoulders, laughing childishly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis merely grabs her sides and tickles. If she wishes to act like a child, she shall be defeated like one.
* Megumi blinks before she bursts out laughing, writhing quickly away from Erevis' fingers either which way, lunging backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pushes off after her, aiming to land on her and continue her assault. "Surrender."
* Megumi thrashes underneath Erevis, laughing to the point of tears, gasping for breaths between squeals. "Nyahah! HAhaha... S-st--aAh! ..S-stop!.. Ahaha!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis immediately stops, then rolls off of her. "I am have won."
* Megumi collapses onto her side, heaving in between teardrops. "...Wahh...!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps in time you will be able to overcome me. 6She notes, sounding somewhat serious, but then, her jokes always sound serious.
* Megumi giggles between gasps. 1"...I think I rather enjoy the way it is."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh? 6She tilts her head backwards to peer at Megumi upside down.
<Megumi> "I... I felt strange, but it was a good feeling!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Strange how?
* Megumi peers upwards at Erevis. 1"...I know not. I had the strange feeling you might kiss me, but you did not, so I decided to continue having fun."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. So, I defeated you because you thought you were going to be kissed. 6She notes seriously.
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"Only the first time. I was not expecting to be pinned and it was a weird sensation."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers this very thoughtfully, outlining possible solutions.
* Megumi reaches up and bats at Erevis' neck with her fingers, wondering if Erevis is ticklish as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her neck away, never being much of a neck person. She continues to ponder.
* Megumi pouts slightly. 1"It was not an unpleasant feeling, seeing Erevis over me."
<Megumi> "However you did not kiss me! I must have been misinterpreting again!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was attempting to pin you and defeat you.
* Megumi smiles gently. 1"You did... and I did not mind in the slightest."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps I should add incentives if you can beat me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up, helping Megumi up.
* Megumi leans up and shifts, leaning against Erevis' side.
<Megumi> "Mm.. incentives...? I do not really care to win for the sake of winning anymore, that is true..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So I have noticed. I have found people do better if they have incentives.
* Megumi taps her lip and gazes upward. 1"Though the things I think about I do not want from you just because I can take them... that is wrong."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Admirable.
<Megumi> "Re.. mem... ber?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Remember?
<Megumi> "I want Erevis to kiss me because Erevis wants to! Not because I beat her in some silly game..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Silly? 6She huffs.
<Megumi> "Were it a matter of competition, I could simply challenge you to Go."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces.
<Megumi> "Or you could challenge me to painting..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays her head back on the pillow finally.
* Megumi giggles and ...flops upon Erevis, hugging her waist again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pats Megumi. She doesn't seem to mind touching Megumi anymore without her gloves on.
<Megumi> "Knowing one's strengths and weaknesses is natural if you really want to compete... That is not what I am after.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Megumi> "I want to be happy with everyone, especially Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you happy, Megumi?
<Megumi> "...Mm, you asked me that before... A year ago."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Megumi nods, peering over Erevis' chest. 1"I am happier, I will admit. My heart waits for but a few things more to resolve themselves."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers back at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts and bends over, pulling Megumi up beside her so they're laying side by side. She nestles her head against Megumi's head. "We shall see."
* Megumi blinks, the eye closest to Erevis closing as she rubs the two together. 1"We shall see...?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. We shall see if those remaining things resolve themselves
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes.
* Megumi looks at Erevis with curiousity, then sighs sullenly. She reaches over and has the fox steal another kiss. Then gazes at it a while before growing desperate and stealing it off the fox.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kisses her forehead.
* Megumi blinks, and turns red.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just seems to smile as she shifts to take yet another "cat nap".
<Megumi> "...I.. I l-love you, Erevis.." 6Tests. No confidence, but she managed, not minding if she becomes a cat-plush.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I love you, too, Megumi. 6* She responds automatically.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, after falling asleep, Erevis gently grapples Megumi. Again.
* Megumi happily avoids asphyxiation.
<DeathStar> 6* This time.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.10.12 - 4 days after last episode -
<DeathStar> Location: The Park
<DeathStar> 6* A cold, sharp wind blows through the park. Erevis stands there wearing her hood and cloak, and tactical suit. She faces Chad Winters today.
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* Dias comes around a pathway, wearing a dark black sweatshirt with blue jeans, black gloves, he has a very short beard growing.
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<Chad`Winters> NRP: ME!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits.
<Megumi> "...Mister... Winters.." 6Headtilts.
* Chad`Winters moves towards her, choosing to remain quiet.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you ready?
* Megumi pouts slightly. What is with everyone harrassing Erevis for challenges lately when she's been reduced to fighting without her major strength. Do scavengers seek out the weakened?
<Chad`Winters> If this is what you want, than yes. I am ready.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her body some, as if stretching
<Chad`Winters> Alright. 6He shifts his arms out, adopting a stance. His body turned sideways to Erevis and his right arm hold up and out with his palm out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds out her hands out in front of her, facing Chad head on. Her style doesn't seem to be anything Chad's seen.
* Chad`Winters 's eyes go wide as he studies her stance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dashes forward toward Chad, barely shifting her body as she jabs toward his jaw with her left hand. She's testing him
* Megumi sits under her tree, yawning behind a hand as she waits for the inevitable pain to be issued between people with a glum expression.
* Chad`Winters shifts his right hand and leans back, pushing the jab so it goes infront of his his body
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis delicately shifts to her left in a semi-circle, putting her back to him briefly.
* Chad`Winters shifts his feet back, moving to hook his left leg around one of hers, while twisting his upper body to shove her with his right elbow
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly speeds her spin, so that as he's making his move, she's already jabbing toward his neck.
* Chad`Winters stumbles forward from the jab.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes low, planting her gloved hand on the ground as she tries to lock her feet around Chad's legs and trip him.
* Chad`Winters hits the ground, landing on his side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rolls so she's a little on top of him, and then tries to drive her elbow into his gut.
* Chad`Winters me twists his upper body as she rolls ontop of him, using her momentum to put himself on top of her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to punch up at his face, but the distance makes it difficult
* Chad`Winters snaps his right hand out, to knock her punch off to the side
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' attack is deflected. She tries to bring her knee up for whatever she can get.
* Chad`Winters deflects her punch than snaps his wrist down, turning it into a punch towards her head but his entire aims sent off from the knee to the back which sends him rolling forward and off her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up.
* Chad`Winters plants his hands and flips himself into a stand, his feet shifting around as he regains his stance, quickly returning to the Jujutsu stance he was using earlier
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up and turns to glance at Chad
* Megumi claps lightly.
<Chad`Winters> You're speeds increased.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Really?
* Chad`Winters nods he quickly shifts stances, hopping from side to side, his stance changing to a kick boxers stance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
* Chad`Winters hops forward, throwing a quick left kick towards her mid-section
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis uses her left arm to parry the blow.
* Chad`Winters pulls his leg back and lands on it, his body turning and his right leg snapping out towards her right side now
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis repeats with her right arm.
* Chad`Winters pulls it back and moves to shift his stance but swings his right leg back in again, aiming for her thigh now
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the thigh, her stance broken.
* Chad`Winters pulls it back half way and snaps it at her her knee now
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the knee, wincing. She falls forward, then pushes off with her good leg to --- tackle Chad.
* Chad`Winters falls backwards as she connects. He reaches down to grab her waist and throw her backwards as he falls
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lands on her back, grunting
* Chad`Winters lands on his back and slides.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up again
* Chad`Winters flips up again, his holds his kick boxing stance
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up and turns to glance at Chad.
<Chad`Winters> Ready?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Chad`Winters begins hopping towards her, his leg's constantly shifting which one's carrying his weight
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head in confusement
* Chad`Winters lands on his left leg and he swings his right leg up in and arc towards her head then twists his upper body and brings it straight down for her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, not use to the art of deception, goes to block, then is hit in the shoulder, falling to a knee.
* Chad`Winters pulls his leg back and turns around fully kicking straight out at her chest with his left leg
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the chest and goes falling onto her back.
* Chad`Winters drops his leg, he shifts into a Karate stance, his legs apart and in a squat, and his arms held out towards her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up, slower this time. She looks like she's hurting
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands.
* Chad`Winters shifts his head from side to side, his neck popping.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks toward him with no stance
* Chad`Winters eyes the stances and instantly shifts his stance to jujutsu, his right hand held out towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps walking, until she's just a foot away, if he does nothing
* Chad`Winters stands there, his eyes studying her, his body loose.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly does a devastatingly powerful thrust to his stomach at the one foot away mark, her body barely shifting
* Chad`Winters slides backwards from the hit, his body curling around the punch.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts, bringing her elbow around Chad's jaw.
* Chad`Winters head snaps to the side from the elbow, causing him to falls to his knees.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops her assault.
* Chad`Winters coughs and spits on the ground. He pushes himself up and takes a deep breath. 1"Interesting."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is interesting?
<Chad`Winters> The amount of power and force you were able to create with your opening punch.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A simple, yet effective technique. Few people would let me get so close, however.
<Chad`Winters> Than you need to learn how to get in close to use it...
<Chad`Winters> And that's what I get for underestimating you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should never underestimate me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis might sound cocky if she was anyone else.
<Chad`Winters> I thought I had your strengths and weakness' pegged. 6He takes another deep breath and shifts into a different stance. His legs held perpenduicular to her, his left arm held low and his right arm held up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts, throwing a punch at Chad's jaw.
<Megumi> "Whenever one believes that, Erevis learns and adapts.."
* Megumi hums to herself, enjoying the parks atmosphere in between kicking and punching sounds.
* Chad`Winters moves his right arm to to intercept then swings his left arm in for a quick jab to her solar plexus
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis brings up her other gloved hand to deflect
* Chad`Winters slides his right arm along the arm he blocked with and goes for a chop to her neck
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is chopped in the neck, stumbling in the direction the momentum of the blow sent her.
* Chad`Winters swings his knee up to meet her in the chest as she falls.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the chest again. People love to hit her there. She falls in a new direction
* Chad`Winters kicks in as she falls, moving to her side. He snaps his fingers for a spot right between her ribs
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hits the ground, laying there.
* Chad`Winters stands, moving back into his stance again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rolls to her side, her hood falling off. She appears to not being wearing the barrette during this battle. She shakes her head, freeing her hair slightly, then stands slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to have difficulty breathing.
* Chad`Winters eyes her standing up. He lets out a small laugh. 1"You come prepared I see."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are as dangerous as I remember.
<Chad`Winters> It's like a bike, even if you got off, you'll remember how to ride it again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you need a license to ride a bike?
<Chad`Winters> Aslong as it is not motor driven.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis files this away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to dash forward, her speed decreased. She jabs at Chad's right shoulder.
* Chad`Winters moves his palm upto deflect her jab at the wrist, he steps back, keeping space.
<Chad`Winters> Come on Erevis...This can't be all you have.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis brings her right hand around, jabbing at his kidney.
* Chad`Winters moves his left hand down deflecting it again, it sliding across his sweatshirt. He narrows his eyes and he takes another step back again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jabs again with her left hand for his left shoulder.
* Chad`Winters brings his right hand forward to push the jab off target and also leans back to compensate for something.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps inward, getting in closer, and jabs for his chest, near his heart
<DeathStar> 6* With both hands.
* Chad`Winters swings both elbows down to block, causing him to slide back several feet, his face cringes in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pants suddenly, as if her energy is almost gone now. She stops her assault.
* Chad`Winters stands there, his hands slowly clenching and opening.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces again, her trouble breathing not helping
* Megumi looks up a bit, squinting in concern. 1"...Erevis..?"
<Chad`Winters> I see, you've found a way to augment the power behind your punches.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...Yes.
* Chad`Winters moves his arms out, but they seem to have problems adopting his unique stance
<Megumi> "Please do not push yourselves too hard.."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dashes in, using her remaining energy to end this right now.
* Megumi facepalms. 1"...Like that."
* Chad`Winters jabs two fingers into his left forearm and it suddenly resumes it's stance while the other while remains rigid.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis punches with her left hand for Chad's jaw.
* Chad`Winters leans back and hops, he begins stumbling, his entire body becoming loose and limber except for his right forearm.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis uses her right hand to jab for Chad's left shoulder.
* Chad`Winters leans back, his stance seemlingly broken, his right leg snaps upwards towards her jaw but is several inches off.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't react to the missed attack. She steps in punches for his gut with her left hand.
* Chad`Winters 's body curls over the punch, and both his fists snaps in, going for her shoulders
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the shoulders, stepping back, her momentum against her.
* Chad`Winters kicks off and throws a wild kick, it aimed 3 inches infront of her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just keeps letting herself fall back.
* Dias has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just keeps letting herself fall back.
* Chad`Winters lands, stumblign sideways, it appears he's disorientated. He dashes in at her and a rigid right punch towards her chest but he trips and rolls towards her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is rolled into and she falls on top of Chad awkwardly.
* Chad`Winters suddenly stiffens, his leg's planting hard against the ground, his left fingers pressed against Erevis's chest. 1"It's over."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... No. 6She rolls off as fast as she can.
* Chad`Winters shifts and twists his body, all his momentum shifting into his hand as it collapses into a fist towards her chest as she rolls away.
* Megumi shifts slightly.
<Megumi> "He... He..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit and falls onto the ground, not movnig.
* Chad`Winters pushes himself up and he moves over to Erevis and kneels down, his hand touching her neck.
* Chad`Winters pauses then grabs her wrist, checking her pulse there instead
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly grabs his arm and throws him.
* Megumi giggles quietly behind a hand.
* Chad`Winters hits the ground beside her, he rolls over, swinging his elbow down towards her solar plexus
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grunts and stops moving again
* Megumi begins to walk over.
* Chad`Winters lies there breathing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis can't seem to breathe
* Chad`Winters sits up and looks over at Erevis, his eye studying her chest for a second. He slides his hand to just at the base of her rib cage and he jabs his fingers into it
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces.
<Chad`Winters> You alright?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just makes a face as she waits for her body to quit hurting
* Megumi kneels beside the two and places a hand on Erevis, peering into her. Creepy, hopefully not.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up, glancing at Megumi, then at Chad. "You win."
<Megumi> "It will be fine, Erevis. You will win next time.."
<Chad`Winters> You could've won by pulling me into a well placed punch. 6He looks over at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her chest and stomach. "Megumi Zhenmei wishes to enroll into school. Do you think you can aid her in this?"
* Megumi jerks backward, gaping. 1"E-Erevis...!"
* Chad`Winters glances at Megumi than at Erevis. 1"You're kiddi...Bad question to ask. Why?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes? 6She asks Megumi.
* Megumi frowns with a stubborn pout, shifting uneasily and going back to fixing up Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Chad. "She wishes to do so."
<Chad`Winters> She's going to need a guardian to be enrolled in high school.
<Chad`Winters> Don't look at me.
<Megumi> "...Despite several issues, things have been settling for a while. It would be nice to experience something... 'normal.'"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Megumi on the guardian issue.
* Megumi eyes Chad glumly. 1"I may not seem it, since I have never been to Earth previously, but I am a third generation chinese descendent. If I seek nativity asylum with my grandmother as a partial... By chinese standards I am an adult and able to make my own decisions."
<Chad`Winters> Earthgov doesn't care about that. As far as they're concerned your a citizen of Framfrit not Earth.
<Megumi> "Is that better, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, thank you.
<Chad`Winters> So you have two choices. 6He grunts as he stands up. 1"Obtain citizenship or get a citizen to be your guardian.
* Megumi blinks at Chad a few times. 1"By seeking native asylum I meant citizenry."
<Chad`Winters> It won't be that easy. You weren't born here, that's the matter of the fact.
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"I... Never thought it would be easy."
<Megumi> "I have faced non-existence, however. Should I be intimidated by immigration procedures?"
<Chad`Winters> If you haven't figured it out by now, Earth's not very keen on alien species living on Earth.
* Megumi nods slightly. 1"My reputation as an accomplice may both hurt and harm my intentions... However, are you saying I should not try?"
<Megumi> "I do not need the education for knowledge... It is... my attempt to understand life here better."
<Chad`Winters> Earth hasn't been broken down into countries for centuries so chinese laws no longer apply. Plus they'll treat you as a minor. The only way for you to gain temporary earth citizenship is to have someone who is a Citizen from Earth adopt you.
<Megumi> "... I... see."
* Megumi looks rather unhappy, but looks Chad over. 1"Should I examine you, Mister Winters? It would not do to worry little Aya."
<Chad`Winters> If you want to attend school that badly, find a cute boy to have your first school crush on, etc etc. Than go for it.
* Chad`Winters eyes Megumi dangerously for a second. 1"No offense, but I don't need someone screwing with my body."
* Megumi frowns slightly and tilts her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up
<Megumi> "I do not 'screw' with your body. I enhance its efficiency for a short time. If you are uncomfortable with that, it is fine. I thought it might bother Miss Aya if you return home in bad shape. It bothers me when Erevis does."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am training. 6She says in her own defense.
* Megumi nods, smiling to Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> Like I said, I don't want people screwing with my body. 6He eyes Erevis, nodding to her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stretches
<Megumi> "My apologies, Mister Winters. I am aware you dislike me."
<DeathStar> 6* She walks over to a pouch she set aside and pulls out a beautiful barrett, putting it into her hair when she shifts it into a ponytail.
<Megumi> "...I will not... 'screw' with your body."
* Megumi peers at Erevis, surprised she actually brought it.
<Chad`Winters> You shoudn't assume things. 6He stands up
* Megumi glances to Chad, tilting her head again.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, may I ask the fundamentals behind that explosive punch?
* Chad`Winters stances shifts, his head tilting as he looks at her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then walks over to Chad, getting intimately close to him.
* Megumi tenses slightly!
* Chad`Winters relaxes, his eyes staring into hers.
<DeathStar> 6* She places her palm onto his stomach. "I merely gathered my strength into my hand, like so."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I used the muscles in my arm, which I had tensed up, to release my hand forward with as much power as I could manage, since I could not move my hand at the range.
* Chad`Winters looks down at her hand, his eyes studying it.
* Megumi frowns slightly, her lip trembling.
<Chad`Winters> I see...6He strokes his chin. 1"It's based on the same fundamentals of my One Inch Punch. 6He moves his palm to her stomach, copying her almost perfectly after a several seconds
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very good. Yes. The more energy I gather into my hand, the more devastating I can make it.
<Chad`Winters> And you use your hyperspace to augment it?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, but says nothing.
<Chad`Winters> Than something else.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains silent on the topic. "Is there anything you need to know?" 6She remains intimately close, apparantly unphased.
* Megumi stands in the background, attempting to remain somewhat faux smiling, twitching slightly with a haze about the air around her clenched left hand.
<Chad`Winters> You could do more damage if you aimed here. 6He slides his palm to her solar plexus. 1"If you miss you'll still hit a lung and possibly collapse it otherwise if it connects, you'll more likely to knock them right out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will keep that in mind. Thank you, Chad Winters.
<Chad`Winters> Also, if you put your leading foot here. 6He steps his left foot forward beside her and moves in so he's standing beside her. 1"You'll increase the chance that if your opponent move away from it you can follow through and drive your attack home.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Interesting
<Chad`Winters> This is definetly an attack you either want to use right away or after a combo when they're stunned.
* Megumi reaches over, to lean on a tree, perplexed as she acidentally clutches through part of the trunk. She quickly removes focus from her hand and shakes herself off, looking innocent.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "I see. I will remember this." 6She bows.
* Chad`Winters pulls his hand back and bows to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to study the odd acting Megumi
<Chad`Winters> So is she that set on attending high school?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think she would enjoy it.
<Chad`Winters> She'll have troubles taking notes. 6He crosses his arms.
* Megumi has her hands folded before her, wearing a violet kimono today that quite compliments the creams in her and yellow eyes, but is sheepishly toeing the ground after crunching part of the tree.
<Megumi> "...Taking notes?"
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, students are required to take notes.
<Megumi> "I do not know how to write in japanese or basic, but I do not see why I would have trouble writing things otherwise..."
* Chad`Winters pulls a datapad out of his pocket and types something on it. 1"What letter is this?"
<Megumi> "That... That is ...basic..."
* Megumi shields her eyes, peering slightly through her sunglasses, her expression is that of a forlorn soul devastated by a recent tragedy.
<Chad`Winters> Well you speak it and if you want to be a citizen you have to learn it.
* Megumi nods slowly. 1"It is one of the few things I would have learned from schooling..."
<Chad`Winters> But you need to see properly. You're wearing shades and last time I saw you, you had your eyes closed.
<Megumi> "If you are also referring to my habit of non-sight due to the ultraviolet on this planet I... Are there no blind humans?"
<Chad`Winters> They learn through brail.
<Megumi> "I could not wear glasses in school as I do from time to time? Indoors the ultraviolet is not as severe."
<Chad`Winters> I'm not upto par with school rules but I doubt it.
* Megumi hesitates. 1"Then... I would have yet another language to learn? Or I would need to pay more attention to the instructor."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances back and forth
<Chad`Winters> So you're set on this than?
* Megumi nods slowly. 1"It would be beneficial to my 'humanity' as you refer to it."
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, but I wonder about the student's life insurance policies.
* Megumi shifts... uncomfortably.
<Chad`Winters> I'll make some calls and get the ball rolling. I can't make any promises tho.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns disapprovingly of Chad.
* Megumi blinks at Chad questioningly. 1"...Calls?"
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, as in with a phone or a comm.
<Chad`Winters> I have the perfect school for you too. The principal is an excellent man who runs a very proper school.
* Megumi looks questioningly. 1"Is it nearby Erevis'?"
<Chad`Winters> About 20 minutes.
<Chad`Winters> But that depends on where she stands.
* Megumi frowns slightly... then... smiles!
<Megumi> "That was... a joke.."
<Chad`Winters> I don't joke.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tilts her head, then understands.
* Megumi staggers, all messed up now.
<Chad`Winters> See, that's the joke. 6He stands there, a neutral look on his face
* Megumi twitches, trying to force a smile.
<Megumi> "Is it the Saint... something ..."
<Chad`Winters> Is what the saint somethign?
* Megumi ponders, not remembering at this point. 1"I keep being bothered by that officer about it. Never mind."
<Megumi> "Would you like tea, Mister Winters? It seems the spar has ended."
* Chad`Winters glances around.
<DeathStar> 6* Leaves blow around
* Chad`Winters quirks his eyebrow at Megumi now
<Chad`Winters> No, I think I'll just head home.
* Megumi looks slightly disappointed. 1"I see. Farewell, then, Mister Winters." 6Bows halfward.
* Chad`Winters scratches the back of his head, studying Megumi, his face still neutral
* Chad`Winters turns and looks to Erevis, his look softening. 1"A pleasure Erevis." He bows to her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head. "Until we meet again, Chad Winters."
<Chad`Winters> Feel free to stop by and visit when you're in the neighborhood. 6He nods to her and turns, moving off into the park
* Megumi sighs softly. 1"He says not to assume, but I still feel as if there is ire."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is merely Chad Winters' personality.
* Megumi latches onto Erevis. 1"Erevis is warmer, hrmph."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow. "Warmer than what?"
* Megumi squints. 1"Than Mister Winters."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. His body heat was more adequate than mine.
<Megumi> "Th... That is not what I meant.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ho? What did you mean?"
<DeathStar> 6* IN the distance, a car being driven by a 5 year old can be seen.
<Megumi> "If that is Mister Winter's personality. Erevis is more kind."
* Megumi gets shivers. A dog is nearby.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Am I?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then thinks Megumi is cold, so she cuddles the girl
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down under the tree with Megumi
* Megumi peers up at her, less bothered in the shade with her sunglasses. 1"You brought the pin, after all."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would I not?
<Megumi> "I am happy you did, although I was not sure you would."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would I not?
* Megumi ponders a moment, then shakes her head, smiling.
* Megumi is now known as Lilith`
<Lilith`> Megumi "It does not matter. You are wearing it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, yawning a bit. She seems to always sleep after expending her energy in a fight
<Lilith`> Megumi "If you do not mind me asking... Is there a place you gained inspiration for that kind of technique?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A place? 6She tilts her head. "I do not believe so. I merely felt that it was a move that would succeed."
<Lilith`> "I am intrigued that it seems similar to my application, but the source appears to not be psychic amplification or particle manipulation."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tilts her head, not really getting it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Particle manipulation?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe I do that.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi tilts her head. "That is what I said. It seems different... Molecular displacement is how I create weapons and solid forms."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *nods*
<Lilith`> Megumi "Although, when I drive my will into a strike, I wind up focusing to the specific point. However that is... psychic focus. One of the few forms of that kind of pure focus I can manage. You used to be amazing with that. This seems... different also."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just smiles mysteriously.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi stares slightly, then... smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there, eyeing a leaf that lands on her head
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sneaks away as Megumi stares at nothing
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi actually drifted off, but as Erevis starts to abandon her, she teeters and thunks against the ground, panicking for a moment as she awakens.
<DeathStar> 6* Leaves drift down on Megumi.
* Lilith` sits up, grumbling a bit as she rubs her head.1 "...Erevis..?"
<DeathStar> 6* No answer
* Lilith` hops to her feet, frantically listening for those nearby.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing that sounds like Erevis
* Lilith` worries. Oh no, the delivery boy really DID kidnap her!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits back down beside her with a drawing pad.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi's ears twitch, and she turns slightly. 1"...Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi sighs with relief and sits back down, holding her knees with one arm, and a hand to her chest with the other. Thump-thump.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then leans her ear against Megumi's chest.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you having heart problems again?
<Lilith`> "Heh... I... I was just worried."
* Marcus` has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She pulls her head back away and begins to draw the park.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi shifts and leans against her, careful not to hinder her arms too much. 1"I believe I know who I would like to ask... If I need to... have a guardian."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Who?
<Lilith`> "It might need to wait for a while... I made her angry."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should speak with her
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi nods slowly. 1"I need to speak with them all if I decide on that... It would not be a matter of merely calling us family were it the case."
<Lilith`> <Megumi> However, she has been a guardian of mine in the past, whether I was completely aware of it or not.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strokes Megumi's cheek with her bare hands
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi grows quietly content, and a bit more resolute to fix things. Even if she did add one more person to the stack the previous day.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis draws
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is unaware people are getting neat weapons
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi's counterpart thankfully seems to be getting nothing except a small amount of respect for killing killer robots.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans her head onto Megumi's shoulder.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi tilts slightly, gazing down at her curiously. Most of the time she's looking up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis yawns, looking tired.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis only hears peaceful sounds
<Lilith`> "Do you wish to sleep, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine.
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Marcus`> *A voice near Erevis and Megumi sounds out. "The two of you sure look peaceful."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She is too lazy to look to see who said it
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi's ears perk, and her head lifts a bit, in the shade of the tree, she uses her eyes. 1"Hmm..?"
* Marcus` stands before them, the same ol Marcus it would seem, he kneels down so that his face enters the shade and becomes more clear for Megumi, he smiles. "Hello."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Marcus Jones.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi shifts her head a bit to the other side. 1"Hello, Mister Jones."
<Marcus`> Erevis *he pauses* I'm sorry, but I do not know your last name. Megumi. *he nods his head*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not have a last name.
<Marcus`> I see. Then hello, Erevis, Megumi. Enjoying your day?
<Lilith`> "My last name is Zhenmei..." 6She says dejectedly, since it was never offered.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi nods slowly. 1"It is peaceful now that Mister Winters is done fighting with Erevis."
* Marcus` arches a brow. "There has been fighting?" he frowns, "I'm sorry to hear that."
Session Close: Tue Oct 09 00:00:00 2007
Session Start: Tue Oct 09 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<Lilith`> Megumi "It was a consensual match."
<Marcus`> Ah. *he tilts his head back, nodding* Who won?
<Lilith`> 6She winces.
* Marcus` pauses and nods once. "It's lucky that I ran into you two, actually."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Chad Winters won
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi peers upward at Marcus. 1"Lucky... you ran into us?"
* Marcus` glances at Erevis. "Yes, I gathered that from Megumi's expression." He glances back to Megumi, eyes her for a moment, then suddenly widens his eyes. "Oh right, it's lucky I ran into you because the last time we parted ways I'm afraid there might have been some...ill feelings towards me, so I wanted to remedy that."
<Lilith`> Megumi "Are you... ill, Mister Jones?"
<Marcus`> ...no why would you ask that?
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi shakes her head. "It is unimportant."
* Marcus` sits there for a moment, thinking about it, then he shakes his head. "I wanted to apologize for the way I acted last time, I was rude, and I honestly have no idea why. Not really my style at all."
<Lilith`> Megumi "I must confess I do not recall very well."
* Marcus` scratches his cheek slowly. "Oh...well then I guess my apology present wont be needed then."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains quiet.
<Lilith`> Megumi "It is appreciated, nontheless. Very noble."
* Marcus` shrugs. "I wouldn't say that. So how are you two? From the outside it seems as if you two are doing good, is that a proper assumption?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is still quiet.
<Lilith`> Megumi "There are many things happening, but I am happy when I am with Erevis."
* Marcus` sits there a moment, then shifts his eyes to Erevis. "I am bothering you two, aren't I?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to have gone to sleep.
<Lilith`> Megumi "You are not bothering me..."
* Marcus` lowers his voice slightly. "Seems I may be bothering her." he glances at Megumi. "She doesn't like me very much, does she?"
<Lilith`> Megumi "I do not know. I do not have the ability to hear her thoughts. I am not aware if she does."
<Lilith`> "However, I have never heard her say she dislikes anyone..."
* Marcus` nods his head once, not saying anything, just seemingly thinking about something. After a moment he glances at Megumi. "I heard that you spoke with Cassandra about a job."
<Lilith`> "I attempted yes."
<Marcus`> She never mentioned why she refused, or did she?
<Lilith`> 6* She seems to consider this, then nods. 1"She came to speak to me in person, but I believe she thinks me too young. She never voiced whether it would be fruitful or not."
<Marcus`> Ah. It's funny, we actually have a 13 year old on our team. *he shakes his head, shifting to kneel on the ball of his feet.* But I guess it could be that things already seem a bit crowded.
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi nods slightly. 1"That is fine... I wished to be on an independent basis so I may stay near Erevis anyway. Besides, it seems I might be pre-occupied with school soon, if all turns out for the better."
<Marcus`> Oh? *a smirk slides to the edge of his lips* Seems like I was just in school. Are you nervous?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stretches and stands. "I shall return." 6She wanders off
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi shakes her head. 1"I need to... overcome my problems with miss knight, Miss Zephyr, Miss Bennet and Mister Starr first. A human school pales in comparison."
<Lilith`> "I would go to better learn human habits, as well as to speak japanese and write in japanese and basic."
* Marcus` shifts his eyes to watch Erevis walk off, then glances back to Megumi. "There anything I can help you with?"
<Lilith`> 6* Megumi shakes her head again. 1"I do not... think so. It is a personal matter with them and me. In a way, my doing this supercedes that in a strange way. I am interested in schooling to fix some of the things in me that caused these problems to begin with."
* Lilith` is now known as Megumi
* Marcus` sits there, apparently absorbing what he heard. "You know, i've heard some things, really nasty things. But i'm not one to gossip, soo..." He stands, "I'm sorry that I cannot help you."
* Megumi tilts her head again. 1"Heard some things about what?"
<Marcus`> I just said i'm not one to gossip...
<Megumi> "I did not ask you to gossip, I asked you what you heard."
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "I heard some rumors about you, pretty outlandish really. And some about Ariel too, also outlandish, completely out of character."
<Megumi> "I do not know about Ariel, but I am Famfrit. That is outland."
* Marcus` pauses, and rubs his face. "You've been around Erevis a bit too long."
* Megumi frowns. 1"I love Erevis. I cannot be around her too much..."
<Megumi> "If you would not tell me what it is you heard, I do not see why you mentioned hearing it, however."
* Marcus` sighs. "Outlandish, meaning out of the ordinary, too odd to be true. But the rumors are of your journey to Famfrit. They say it did not go well."
<Megumi> "They?"
<Marcus`> The rumor people, I can't exactly name names...
* Megumi hesitates. 1"I do not remember who would know beyond a select few of the PAX from a year ago, but it did not go well, no. This is why I am on bad terms with Mister Starr, miss knight, and Miss Zephyr."
* Marcus` nods his head once. "I assumed that if the rumor was true, that might be the reason." He glances up at he sky, his eyes going sad.
<Megumi> "Beyond them, only Mister Winters should know. Perhaps Mister Dias."
* Megumi closes her eyes. 1"If Dias knows, then I suppose it is only natural that Mister Jones does, as well."
<Marcus`> No. Dias didn't tell me. My hearing. *he glances back to Megumi* Is probably on the same level of your own.
<Megumi> "Interesting, but I do not recall when you might have been present."
<Megumi> "If you heard me, I do not think it qualifies as a rumor, however..."
* Marcus` just flashes her a smile. "It wasn't from you."
* Megumi nods. 1"Mister Winters, then."
* Marcus` shakes his head. "No. And I will not reveal who, it's a rumor for a reason." He pauses and taps his chin once. "Do you have any idea how you may change the way those others see you?"
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"I have no idea."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands behind Marcus.
<Megumi> "Especially Mister Winters, who believes I killed younglings and other females."
<Megumi> "But it is something I must do."
<Marcus`> So Chad is alright if you killed men, but young and females is wrong? *he tilts his head, glancing back at Erevis once before looking to Megumi*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps around Marcus and holds out a hotdog with all the extras on it to her.
<DeathStar> *to Megumi
* Megumi shakes her head again. 1"No, but he seemed to be even more disturbed by the idea, and I did not feel the need to correct him, as it served no merit in his line of thinking."
* Megumi blinks slightly, smiling softly. 1"Thank you, Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is no problem. The man selling them told me it was not a real trip to the park if I did not order one
<Megumi> "Really? Then our last trip was incomplete..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. It is disturbing.
* Megumi nods seriously. 1"We must remember when we have our date."
* Marcus` scratches his nose, watching the two quietly while they interact, then after they pause he would speak, "I wish there was something I could to help, but sadly I cannot." He frowns slightly.
* Megumi takes a small bite of the entree while Marcus is speaking, them smiles gently to him as well. 1"It is alright. I believe humans say 'It is the thought that counts' in situations like these."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis decides to practice her moves as the two talk privately.
* Marcus` nods once. His arms pulled behind his back, he smiles slightly, tilting his head to watch Erevis.
<Marcus`> I saw you earlier, with Angela. The two of you. I can't help but say that I honestly find that odd.
* Megumi frowns. 1"I see. ...Somehow you overheard me speaking with Mister Starr. That is... slightly disturbing."
* Marcus` tilts his head. "I...saw you as I was walking down the street."
<Megumi> "I wonder if Mister Starr will be understanding if I make ends with miss knight and Miss Zephyr..."
* Megumi gazes upward, huffing. 1"It would not do for him to begrudge me like he did Mister Wind."
* Marcus` rubs the bridge of his nose. "..."
* Megumi stares past Marcus with little thought to the reaction. 1"Miss Erevis..."
<Megumi> "Try not to focus so much on what you can do with your hands. Especially with the technique you are developing, it is best not to neglect your full potential by only paying attention to part of it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just nods once, a noncommital answer if anyone, and continues her training
* Megumi giggles. 1"I hope you are listening! If not, I will teach you a lesson later before bed!"
* Marcus` rubs his neck slowly, still staring at Megumi.
* Megumi eventually feels this lingering stare and peers at Marcus. 1"Are you alright, Mister Jones?"
<Marcus`> Fine, fine. Just waiting my turn.
* Megumi angles her head puzzledly.
* Marcus` smirks. "Tell me something. What are your thoughts on Angela?"
<Megumi> "She is a strange, lonely girl seeking affection in all places with a rather hopeless design to find a place she belongs. She does not seem like a bad person." 6Plain.
* Marcus` nods his head once. "Yes, that is pretty much Angela. Do you like her?"
<Megumi> "I have only met her twice."
* Megumi leans her head back, pondering.
<Megumi> "Thus far I would not mind were we sisters."
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Really? Intersting...being as how you love Erevis..." he glances towards Erevis, then back to megumi.
* Megumi narrows her eyes questioningly at Marcus, then shakes her head.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Why do you shake your head?"
<Megumi> "I do not find it strange. Erevis says she does not dislike Miss Bennet, and I already informed her that if she did anything unbecoming of Erevis nothing would keep me from her."
* Megumi takes another bite, chewing slowly.
* Marcus` purses his lips. "That's...well then i'm glad you do not know much of everyone's past."
* Megumi shakes her head again and swallows.
<Megumi> "If Erevis says she does not dislike her, then she does not dislike her. Erevis speaks only the truth as she knows. What is the past, is the past. If I dwelled only there, I would neither be here today, nor could I ever expect anyone to trust me again after my own misgivings."
<Megumi> "The past is not to be forgotten, but neither is it to be lived."
* Marcus` nods his head once. "Very well."
* Megumi smiles slightly, having an afterthought. 1"I miss Mister Wind in that respect."
* Marcus` arches a brow, eyeing Megumi like she is crazy. "..."
<Megumi> "Do you think what I believe is wrong, Mister Jones?"
* Megumi closes one eye, turning the other to him. 1"Do you have other thoughts?"
<Marcus`> Ah, my thoughts don't really matter. I just know that generally the past repeats itself, so it is always good to keep in mind the mistakes of the past.
* Megumi nods slowly. 1"This is why I say it should not be forgotten. However, I think it is wrong to relive it."
<Megumi> "I believe striving for a future is much more promising."
<Marcus`> Then we agree on something. *he pauses and shifts* Erevis, you're slouching slightly, this causes a weakness in your stance. *he steps over and presses his hand against the small of her back to straiten her up*
* Megumi jerks slightly, dropping the hot dog onto the grass. She stares at it, then picks it up and finishes it, biting her lip with a scowl at Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses momentarily, glancing over her shoulder at Marcus
<Marcus`> Doesn't that seem a bit more solid? *he retracts his hand*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... Perhaps so.
* Megumi pouts slightly, swallowing.
* Marcus` steps around in front of her, tilting his head from side to side. "Punch my hand." he holds up a hand.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
<Marcus`> I would like to see the range of force that you can create with one punch.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe you would.
<Megumi> "Mm, go on, Erevis. Show him."
* Marcus` keeps his hand up, eyeing her. "As long as I wont suddenly explode, then I think i'll manage."
* Megumi smiles, kind of... scarily. 1"I can repair him."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slips on her gloves.
* Marcus` waits patiently.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rears back and punches his hand with crippling force.
* Marcus` plays a nice poker face, but his hand snaps back with the force and he holds it up there for a moment. His eyes drift to her. "Wow. That's one hell of a punch."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Megumi rises to her feet, going to Marcus to make good on her statement.
* Marcus` clenches his fist and then opens it again. "I noticed something though. You put alot of force into the punch from the very beginning, correct?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You desired to see a range.
* Marcus` nods his head. "That's right. I'm curious, would you like to see a technique that I picked up?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Marcus`> With the explosive force you have in your hands, I think this might be of some use to you, it's a way to utilize such force, with only using a minimal amount of the energy that it would normally require.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Such as this. 6She plants her hand onto his stomach.
* Marcus` watches her closely.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis barely moves her hand and Marcus would feel pain in his stomach, like a real punch. Of course, there's no real effort in it.
* Megumi bristles again, pausing. She suddenly feels no inclination to heal Marcus, but then, he seems fine anyway.
* Marcus` doubles over only slightly, he pauses, then straitens up. "Interesting, that was not the move I was talking about."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But it is effective in not wasting energy.
<Marcus`> It seems so, you barely moved your hand...could you, show that to me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. 6* She steps a bit closer, putting her hand on his stomach. "You position your hand such as this."
* Marcus` nods his head as she takes his hand, listening very closely.
* Megumi stands awkwardly close, her hands close to her face, grinding her teeth unconsciously.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I used the muscles in my arm, which I had tensed up, to release my hand forward with as much power as I could manage, since I could not move my hand at the range.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shoves forward
* Marcus` nods again, he tenses up and gives it a try, using only a little power.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, tilting her head.
* Marcus` tilts his head too. "...it didn't work?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Apparantly.
<Marcus`> I placed my hand on you, like this. *he places his hand on her stomach again*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares down, not looking bothered by the contact
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you tensing?
* Megumi looks close to snapping, somehow.
* Marcus` shakes his head, "I think I figured out what went wrong."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Now thrust.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What went wrong?
<Marcus`> Your height. You are shorter than I am, so to drop my hand to your stomach is causing certain of my muscles to tense just to maintain that position, causing me to lose the force of the punch.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Marcus` frowns. "...I think I have the idea, but it's a shame you're just not a bit taller."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She stands on her tiptoes to bring herself closer to Marcus' face level.
* Megumi frantically waves her hands. "1Then try it on the tree!"
* Marcus` seemingly ignores Megumi as Erevis rises to his level, he smirks slightly and presses his hand on her stomach yet again.
<Marcus`> Now, I tense?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Tense.
* Marcus` tenses up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And thrust.
<Megumi> "...Grr.."
* Marcus` thrusts, with his penis, or with his hand, who knows.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces in pain and steps back. "Yes. Good."
* Marcus` straitens up, his eyes going wide. "I'm sorry, did I use too much force?" he slides closed, his face stricken with worry.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine.
* Marcus` steps back and nods. "Thank you very much." He places his hands at his side and bows, like a student would a master.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, and bows back.
* Marcus` straitens up. "Well now my helpful tip seems less amazing compared to what I just learned."
* Megumi looks very disturbed at this point, but since Erevis hasn't expressed any anger, feels compelled to do nothing against her better judgement.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Megumi, as if senses a disturbance in the force. "Are you okay?"
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Megumi. "Yeah, your cheeks are red. Are you getting a fever?" he slides over to press his hand to her head.
* Megumi 's eyes are closed since she wandered back out, but there's something off about what would be her otherwise glare at Marcus.
<Megumi> "May I try that as well?"
<Marcus`> Yeah sure, here. Place your hand here. *he places her hand on his stomach*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches the two.
* Megumi nods, doing so with a bit of resistance, but it's for her greater good, so she feels.
<Marcus`> Tense.
* Megumi follows through, though her hand moves just a tiny bit too much, and the way her arm shifts is far from perfect. It shouldn't work in the way Erevis intends it to, unfortunately, she focuses her psychic manifest to give it the same effect, though in a less fine-tuned area. Marcus would feel like he was struck by a twin bed mattress swung by a gorilla. No particular sharp focal point but...
* Marcus` is knocked back, about 15 feet, he slams into a tree, cracking it sharply, his eyes go dim and he doubles over, falling onto his face, dust rising up from where he lays.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares in shock.
<Megumi> "...It ...worked?" 6Not exactly faux surprise, she hadn't meant to hit him -that- hard. Or aim for the tree.
* Megumi volleys over to check on him for christ's sake.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She moves over to examine his body
* Marcus` shoves himself to his feet, his eyes still dim, after a blink or two they brightly like normal eyes. "..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you injured?
* Megumi stares at Marcus, bewildered.
<Marcus`> Nothing that can't be regrown. *he says simply, dusting himself off*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tilts her head, examining his body closely for broken bones
<Megumi> "I sincerely apologise, Mister Jones. If I have harmed anything, please allow me to help you."
* Marcus` just holds his arms up as Erevis checks his ribs for anything broken. "I'll be ok." He says to Erevis, blatantly ignoring Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis accepts this and nods, standing back up.
* Marcus` slowly rotates his neck, his eyes shifting to Megumi now. "I felt something in your punch that I did not like."
* Megumi frowns slightly and reaches to grab one of Marcus' wrists while he's busy adjusting his neck and ignoring her.
* Marcus` shifts, pulling Megumi's hand from his wrist. "I am alright."
* Megumi scowls slightly, folding her hands before her. 1"I am sorry, however, this is not the first time today someone has refused to allow me to help them when I am perfectly capable. If I say I will, I am not lying."
* Marcus` shifts to face her fully, "I do not need your help." And with that, he releases her hand and turns to face Erevis, taking her hand in both of his and bowing, "Thank you for the lesson."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks in surprise at the sudden touch, glad she had her gloves on
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are...welcome.
<Marcus`> Hopefully sometimes soon, I can return the favor and teach you something valuable. *he straitens up, smiling at her*
* Marcus` turns and places a hand on Megumi's shoulder. "Maybe I can give you some advice on your path to redemption?"
* Megumi twitches noticeably between the exchanges. 1"I do not know. Apparently I am what these islanders refer to as an 'ogre.'"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is an ogre?
<Marcus`> Megumi, before you can ever hope to regain yourself in the eyes of the others, you must first learn one thing.
* Alicia is now known as Terra
* Marcus` eyes her for a moment. "You must learn control." With that he steps around and turns, bowing to Erevis. "I'll see you two around."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows back.
<DeathStar> -END-
* Terra is now known as Alicia

Session Ident: #Taw
* Logging #Taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#Taw.20071009.log'
<Angela> Timeline: Several minutes after Angela took off.
<Angela> * Angela's shuttle lands, in front of Darien's house, she hobbles off before waving to Dakota, who takes the ship back into the air, she starts hobbling for the front door, the shuttle having been slightly noisy.
<Angela> *montana, even
* Angela hobbles to the front door, ringing the bell.
* Ariel takes a minute to get to the door, and she pauses when she sees who it is. "Hello... Angela. What brings you out here?" She wonders where she got the address.
<Angela> "I needed to talk to you..." *she studies her mother calmly* "...Erevis told me you were at Darien's."
* Ariel opens the door the rest of the way. "Come in." Damn phonebooks.
* Angela hobbles in and sighs softly, it seems from pain, she looking about the place.
* Ariel leads her upstairs, towards the kitchen. "So what brings you out this way?"
* Angela works her way up slowly, having two broken legs. "I... well..." She hesitates, this was so much easier rehersing.
<Ariel> "Well?"
<Angela> "I need a legal guardian..."
* Ariel pauses, "And how old are you? Legally?"
<Angela> "Legally, 17, in actuality 24... but it was reclassified when I emerged from that machine with a body that was less developed then Zephyr was."
* Angela sighs depressedly.
<Ariel> "Wasn't Chad looking out for you?"
<Angela> "...Maybe I phrased that poorly, I'm looking for a legal guardian that won't drive me insane."
* Ariel nods, "There is a distinct difference."
<Angela> "Dias played some prank on me earlier and he told them lies that wound me getting strip searched and held longer... not very reliable."
<Ariel> "Dias was not your guardian."
<Angela> "He was in reference to CHad."
<Angela> "They called him, and all..."
* Ariel sighs. "So you want to move in here, with me and Zephyr?"
<Angela> "I would..."
* Ariel considers. "I'll speak to Zephyr about it. I'm not sure how she feels about having anyone else move in."
<Ariel> "I would be more than happy to do so legally... but... I really do need to look out for Zephyr right now."
<Angela> "I... understand Mom..."
* Ariel bows her head, "I'm sorry I can't promise more."
<Angela> "Yeah... when should I check in...?"
<Ariel> "I'll contact you this evening, after I have time to speak with Zephyr... Things have been, to put it lightly, difficult."
<Angela> "So I found out from Megumi..."
* Angela crosses her arms, leaning against a wall as she wasn't offered a seat.
* Ariel gives Angela a look. She's not enough of a monster to make an injured girl stand. She assumed the seat was a given.
* Angela sighs and nods. "I should leave you two alone then."
* Ariel pauses to consider. "Honestly, Angela... even at 17, you shouldn't need a guardian. You haven't needed one since I've known you. I'll ask around, see if I can get them to leave you be about that."
<Angela> "I wish, the government is doing all they can to make certain people's lives a living hell."
<Angela> "If this is just an inconvience to you I won't push or bother you anymore..."
* Ariel shakes her head. "I'll do what I can... but after all that's happened, I really do need to care for Zephyr first."
<Angela> "I understand..." *she looks down* "...I also understand that I've done terrible things in the past..."
* Ariel sighs. "It's not that Angela... this time, it's about the terrible things I've done."
<Angela> "Trying to kill yourself in front of Zephyr?"
* Angela doesn't look up at her.
* Ariel doesn't answer.
<Angela> "Look... for what it's worth... we all make mistakes... and I have to believe we really can attone for them."
<Ariel> "That's why I'm doing what I'm doing now."
* Angela works on standing back up, grabbing her crutches. "Alright..."
<Angela> NRP: As we need a resolution, shall I time jump?
<DeathStar> NRP: Go for it
<Angela> * Angela rings the doorbell shortly after lunchtime the next day.
<Ariel> NRP: *blinks confusedly at what's going on*
* Ariel again takes a few moments to make it to the door.
<Angela> NRP: We jumped for afte the deadline.
* Angela stands there, leaning on her crutches. Smiling weakly.
* Ariel looks a little confused as she answers the door. "Hello... Angela."
<Angela> "Hey there... you said to give you a day..."
<Angela> "Also realised I left you know way to contact me.":
* Ariel deadpans, "I called you last night, like I said I would. You didn't answer, so I left a message..."
* Angela smiles softly. "Chad's place right?"
* Angela sort of waits for that to explain itself.
<Ariel> "No. Your phone."
<Angela> "...My phone?"
* Ariel just sighs. This was hurting her head.
<Angela> "...I haven't owned a... oh..."
<Angela> "Mom, you called my old phone. The one with Janus."
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile. 6* <Janus Employee> Come hear this! *snicker*
<Ariel> "I doubt it."
<Angela> "...How?"
* Angela blinks
* Ariel shakes her head, "In any case... Zephyr isn't comfortable having anyone else in the house right now. I'm going to try to get things moved along some, so they will leave you alone... but at this moment, that's really all I can do."
* Angela nods softly. "Alright... thank you for trying."
<Angela> "I'll... see you around... yes?"
* Ariel nods. "Most likely. Take care, Angela."
<Angela> "Take care..."
* Angela hobbles off, the shuttle landing again.
<Angela> NRP: And to finish...
<Angela> * About an hour later, Angela stands in a phone booth, dialing a complicated phone number.
<DeathStar> 6* Mwahahahahha
