* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071016.log'
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Dragon fires a beam of destructive energy toward Toyko that will wipe out the entire team if Myria doesn't block it somehow - and put herself in danger.
* Alicia is now known as Vyssa
* Angela walks along, shaking a bit, holding the sword in one hand.
* Freyja glances upward toward impending doom.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sits there, looking like he's about to die anyway.
* Marcus` glances up, the wolve's face goes into an odd shape...a frown? He points up, incase Dias didn't notice.
<Freyja> "Hmm, I can't do anything about something -that- large. Oh well! Nice knowing you..."
<Myria> 6* The mecha dives down, skidding just along the edge of the beam until it reaches the head of the beam.
<Freyja> 6Chii... seems unhappy. If that's possible.
* Dias stares at the twins, as if they're freaks of nature, all while holding a neutral face.
<DeathStar> 6* The destructive power rips down. The Power of the Progenitors!
* Vyssa continues her search for Ariel/Zephyr
* Angela looks about, she then grabs her comms, dialing Ariel. Hoping she's got one.
<Freyja> 6Lilith goes from person to person outside the hospital, using nearby ruptured ambulances and such for basic medical supplies, trying to ignore the looming death approaching.
<DeathStar> 6* Ten seconds until doom.
<Dias> NRP: That was Chad sorry
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares at the beam, then begins to pray to the devil for salvation
<Myria> 6* The mecha continues its dive, moving into the path of the beam...then a hyperspace fold opens up, mecha diving inside followed by the beam!
* Marcus` reverts to his human form, breathing slightly heavy, but probably from the onset of doom, not from actually being tired.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy thanks the devil
<Vyssa> <Terra> *looks up*
* Freyja looks to Chad in earnest. 1"See?"
* Dias looks over at Marcus. 1"no spooning for you."
<Freyja> "Karma. Things work out in the end if you work hard enough."
<Freyja> 6Chii shakes her head, frowning.
<Dias> Why are you talking?
* Marcus` winces. "I don't think we'll be able to anyway..."
<Dias> NRP: Chad
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, opening hyperspace in the atmosphere causes a mighty explosion
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Dragon is knocked clear out of sight
* Freyja tilts her head, holding up her hands to shield the small group with a oval barrier.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... thanks..."
* Chad`Winters shifts Aya around.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy ducks as some of hte taller buildings explode and rain down more debris
* Angela continues trying to contact Ariel.
<Freyja> 6* Lilith grinds her teeth, moving building panels again in an attempt to keep people from being re-roughed up.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya claps at the lights
* Marcus` covers his head, moving to get out of the path of the debri.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks up, too weak to move out of the way.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias runs around like a scared girl
<Freyja> 6Lilith focuses primarily on Spirit, Drake and Theron due to her likenesses and injuries.
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls himself he glances at Lilith and pulls Cass and Setsuna closer to him, so they will be protected as well. "....they need a hospital..."
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, the rain of rock ends.
* Ariel answers her comm, "...yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* The sun shines brightly.
<Freyja> 6Megumi, struck in the forehead by a relatively minor one, sits upright, groaning.
<Myria> 6* The mecha comes tumbling down from orbit!
<Angela> "Ariel... I need you to tell me... where Zephyr is."
<Freyja> <Megumi> ...That hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the dark dragon returns and rams the mecha, sending them both spending toward the city.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Are you okay?"
<Ariel> "She's here."
<Angela> "With you...?"
<Freyja> 6Megumi sits up, looking to Terra and the area in slight confusion. 1"...No."
* Chad`Winters checks his weapon as he glances around in the sky
* Freyja giggles a bit. 1"So you did find your daughters, 'miss knight.'"
<DeathStar> 6* The dragon snaps at the mecha as they both hurl toward the planet.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... well, shit."
<Angela> "Ariel... use your ability to locate... this is important."
* Marcus` grabs Dias by the shoulder, so he'll stop panicing. "Alright it's over. Now how the hell are we gonna help fight that damn Dragon?" He motions up to it, falling.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Um. This is going to hurt. 6She points again.
<Ariel> "......"
<Freyja> 6Lilith agitadely looks upward, looking around for anything big and metal.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks to a stop. 1"Well I could hurl you at it with all my strength.
<Freyja> NRP: Agitatedly damn it.
<Myria> 6* The mecha forms its light blade, stabbing into the dragon's body as motive power is vectored to change the angle of descent.
* Angela looks about, holding her comm.
<Marcus`> ...Alotta good that'll do. Since it's protected by a nice armored shell...
<DeathStar> 6* The dragon glows with darkness and it blasts the mecha point blank.
<Ariel> "Let me repeat. She. Is. Here. Within sight of this posistion. Where I am."
<Vyssa> *comm* "The moment anyone finds Zephyr, report. To me, or Angela."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wasn't near Ariel.
<Ariel> NRP: You told me she was
<DeathStar> NRP: No, I said she was on a building nearby.
<Freyja> 6Lilith eyes one of the discarded ambulances, then nods. She looks upward at the pair of giant beings and... launches the ambulance. Nothing significant, but she'll change the course if she can help it.
<DeathStar> NRP: A high bulding.
<Marcus`> *Theron coughs and makes an odd clicking sound. "We...gotta get out of here..." He says, though it would seem he is having trouble speaking.
<Ariel> NRP: You specified a building near Ariel
<DeathStar> NRP: Doesn't mean you can SEE her.
<Angela> "Location... this is life and death..."
<Myria> 6* The mecha performs a subspace teleport, leaving a cloud of quantum explosives in its wake.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What? Maybe it's weak against dogs.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon vanishes again.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Oh fuck."
<DeathStar> 6* In an explosion
<Marcus`> I doubt it...*he pauses* ...whoever is piloting that mech is really enjoying explosions...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy nods approvingly.
* Ariel sighs and gives coordinates.
* Freyja cups her hands and calls to nothing in particular. 1"Oy, wind-named girl, mind coming and saying hello to mama?!"
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... okay, that wasn't as bad as I thought."
* Angela hangs up and heads in that direction, scaning the skies as she goes.
<Myria> 6* The mecha appears near the ground, skidding to a halt...several holes blown in its outer shell.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, another dark beam flies through the explosion at the hospital area
<Freyja> 6Lilith stomps her foot angrily. It's too hard to protect this group.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Hey, maybe we should get the hell away from here?"
<Freyja> <Megumi> That is a wise decision.
<DeathStar> <Drake> We'll never make it in time.
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns, sighing. "Come'on..."
<Freyja> 6Lilith stares at the mecha. It stopped it last time. She tries throwing it at the beam. 1"I say we move now anyway in case we survive."
<Myria> 6* The mecha leans back, several supporting arms growing to attack to the ground as a weapon mechanism forms in front of it. An energy pattern spreads behind it before a resonant beam blasts at the incoming dark beam.
<DeathStar> 6* The mech is thrown into the path of the beam and HIT. The mecha explodes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I'm beginning to think we shouldn't stand here anymore.
* Angela soon arrives, she walk up towards Ariel.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Didn't I just say that?"
* Vyssa heads towards Ariel too
<Marcus`> ...good point. *he coughs and begins to jog back towards the group*
<Angela> "Where is she?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias coughs loudly and shakes his head
<DeathStar> 6* The beam IS stopped, though
* Marcus` slides to a stop and glances at Dias. "Hmm?"
<Vyssa> "Ariel, can you locate Zephyr?"
<Ariel> "......"
<Vyssa> "This is important."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I ain't going near the hospital.
* Angela coughs a little, not looking well.
<Marcus`> Half of our friends are there, probably dying. We need to help them.
<Freyja> 6Megumi picks up Terra and begins jogging away from the hospital, no particular destination.
<Ariel> "Yes. Well. Why don't you go to her like I told you, instead of coming me and asking me where she is over and over?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs then moves after him
<Freyja> 6Lilith retrieves Spirit, glancing around to make sure Theron and the likes start to disassemble.
<Chad`Winters> Wow, aren't we all just pmsing.
<Vyssa> "Because I have not yet located her."
* Marcus` turns and moves toward the hospital now.
* Angela eyes her, then starts heading into a building, and up the stairs.
<Chad`Winters> World at stake here Ariel, drop the attitude.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy moves over to the mecha remains, then grabs a certain blue skinned beauty.
<Vyssa> "Chad Winters is correct."
<Vyssa> <Terra> *runs herself*
<Marcus`> *Theron slowly sits up. "....We need to get them...somewhere safe." He says in reference to his favorite lesbians.
<Ariel> "I gave her the coordinates Chad. Instead, she ignored them, and come here to ask for the coordinates."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You alive?
<Vyssa> "... that idiot."
<Myria> ...my Madara! *gnashes her teeth*
<Chad`Winters> She's slow, but I suppose that makes it ok to stall her a little of time that could have been used to, possibly save the world...Wait, why is she going to Zephyr?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, darn. You're alive.
* Angela comes out at the roof, looking around. "Zephyr?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to be searching for a dragon to shoot down.
<Myria> Who tossed my Madara at the beam?!!
<Ariel> "Only one guess."
<Vyssa> "Bonding... in order to avoid the Dark Ones getting her soul."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Her. 6She points at Lilith.
* Myria narrows her eyes and stomps over to Lilith!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy gets her camera ready
* Angela approaches her. "Zephyr."
<Chad`Winters> Yeah...6He just rolls his eyes. 1"This'll be great."
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls himself up to his feet, holding his side, he glances around the battlefield, then glances up, looking for the dragon.
<Freyja> 6Lilith stares downward at Myria, holding Spirit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm? 6She keeps searching the skies.
<Myria> What did you think you were doing?!
<Angela> "I know a better way... to stop the Dark Dragoon."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Holy shit, Myria's gonna kick the shit out of the mutt! 6He dashes towards them
<Vyssa> "Hopefully Zephyr will be more intelligent than Angela was."
<Freyja> <Lilith> Preventing this assemblage from being destroyed. A third time.
<Marcus`> It's about damn time someone does. *said as moving for the group*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> GO FOR HER EARS!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake lays there, watching the chaos. He hasn't moved much since helping Angela.
<Myria> I was about to knock that beam off to the horizon, dumb sumb!
<Freyja> 6Lilith sets Spirit down, squinting at all the shouting in disdain.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides up to them. 1"Knock her to next week Myria. Show her your Irish rage."
<Freyja> 6Lilith... just looks confused. 1"Who are you?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How?
* Angela puts a hand on her shoulder. "Bond with me... we can defeat her in her own field."
* Marcus` slides up, looking between the two. A smile slides on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares at her. "B-Bond? But I don't even know you."
<Marcus`> *Theron turns, his eyes widen. "Miss...Miss Myria!"
<Myria> I am Myria Arhnya, the Erusian amb...errr...magical girl!
<DeathStar> <Drake> She's a magical girl...?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> CLAW HER HAIR!
* Angela holds up the sword, "I need to pierce her heart with this, it'll kill her... And I know you don't, but right now we are the best hope."
<Freyja> 6Lilith's head tilts. 1"...I am a japanese inugami from the genpei period. What is... a magical girl?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But, we can't bond. You bond with people you trust completely.
<Marcus`> *Theron just seems confused at the mention of her being a magical girl.
* Angela kneels down, looking into her eyes.
<Myria> A beautiful warrior for truth and justice! *poses*
<DeathStar> <Drake> ....
<Freyja> 6Lilith seems even more confused. 1"That is what I was designated for my life as Tomoe Gozen."
<Freyja> <Lilith> "I am... a magical girl?" 1Blinks at Spirit.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks once.
<Angela> "I've made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I will not fail you."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Warrior of whatever you said. Justice her with your fist!
<Ariel> Raquel> "......"
<Myria> But now...my Madara is blwon to bits thanks to you! *points accusingly* If that thing is still up there, I just lost the biggest gun I currently have!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But--you don't get this. As a Dragoon, you have to trust your pilot, and you have to have a synchronized like goal.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know I know. Punch her in the face into the dragon.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon suddenly fires a dark beam at the hospital group. Again.
* Marcus` glances up. "Uh...guys."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, later guys. 6She drives away in a car.
<Angela> "Do you want to stop that Dragon?"
<Freyja> 6Lilith eyes Myria. 1"I see."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Yes.
<Angela> "So do I."
* Ariel checks on Erevis' condition.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I smell dark.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *is hopefully a fair way away by now*
<Myria> Run away!!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is KOed.
* Myria takes off!
<Freyja> 6Lilith glances at the beam, and at Myria. 1"You would not withstand that beam again, would you?"
* Ariel figured that =P
<Freyja> <Lilith> I suppose not.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias dashes after Myria, checking her ass as he goes
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is KOed and --- healed from Freyja
<DeathStar> 6* Drake lays there in a panic
<Marcus`> *Theron looks to see if the van is able to drive.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "Okay, so, how do we do this?"
<DeathStar> 6* The van CAN drive.
<Freyja> 6Lilith throws ambulances at the beam while trying to move away as she was... originally.
<DeathStar> 6* The ambulances are destroyed instantly.
<Freyja> <Lilith> Ineffective.
<Marcus`> *Theron picks up Cass and Sets and jumps in it, starting it up, putting it in gear, wincing in pain.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you been working out Myria?
<DeathStar> 6* The beam hits the ground and hits everyone nearby - aka, most people, into a cloud of rubble, burying them.
<Myria> No time for questions...because someone threw my Madara into the beam!!
<Angela> "I'm going to open myself up to you, we touch, you initiate the Bonding sequence. You'll feel a slight tingle, then there will be a flash, our thoughts will meld. There's a lot you might gleam, but for now I'll block the most of it. You can pick my brain all you want after and descide what you want after we stop her."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon lands in the crater it made, scanning for anyone who survived.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I noticed you ass has gotten firmer...Ah crap. RUN FASTER! 6He dashes forward, moving past her as the shockwave begins to head for them.
<Angela> "I was once a Dragoon too Zephyr, I'll lend you every scrap of knowledge I have about it."
* Marcus` and Theron are rubbled up, since they couldn't exactly make it away in time.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias is overtaken. As is Myria.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *keeps quiet, hoping she won't be noticed, just keeping moving with Megumi*
<Freyja> <Megumi> ...Terra, I should help them. Running away alone will not stop that thing from just chasing others later.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alright, alright. Uh..... 6She nods. "Touch how?"
* Angela holds out her hand.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... I guess you're right. Got a plan?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon walks along, then it smashes a claw into the ground and rips up Lilith
* Angela smiles reassuringly.
<DeathStar> 6* It decides to test how much a dog spirit can take before it's ripped in two.
<Freyja> 6Lilith narrows her eyes, at least it didn't grab Spirit. She tries resisting with magnetics if any of the surface can be found as such.
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith's power pales to the pwoer of this mech, sadly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes her hand.
<Freyja> 6Megumi moves away from hiding and looks upward. 1"...Not really."
* Angela closes her eyes, opening herself up for the Bond.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr does the same thing.
<Freyja> <Megumi> It is hard to formulate strategies against something I have never encountered while unconscious from injuries."
<DeathStar> 6* Those who got hit by the beam would start to wake up, under rubble.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Then we wing it."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Grrraa....My god, my legs, I can't move them...or my arms. I CAN'T MOVE MY ARMS OR MY LEGS!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel trys to open a portal into the mech's hand, while beaten and pinned by rubble.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Something tells me my fire won't stop it, but we could find a bigger gun?"
<Freyja> 6Lilith forms her inukami, the railblade, and rests it on the hands gripping her, moving it with small amounts of her power to aim at the head, and launches a round or two. Not much else for her to do.
<Myria> ...we're buried...
* Marcus` slowly opens his eyes, a groan escapes his mouth and he tries to move, despite being able to or not.
<DeathStar> 6* The dragon mech is hit, and it rips off part of Lilith's hand, too. The portal misses it by a few seconds, but does get Lilith ebfore she falls.
<Freyja> 6Megumi forms her zanbato. Slicing wouldn't do any good on this thing... and charges for a leg.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Or just rush up and attack."
<Vyssa> <Terra> *rushes after*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon roars and swings it's tail at Megumi.
<Freyja> <Megumi> If it is as adept as I believe, its sensory equipment likely picks us up no matter how stealthy we try to be. We must merely..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Damn....6His cell phone goes off and he wiggles his hand to get it. 1" Hold on..." 6He answers it. 1"Yeah...Buried by rubble from an evil dragon..Dragoon thing. No I'm not lieing. Look on the news. Tv's out...Look outside, ya can't miss it."
<Freyja> 6She leaps atop the tail, running about it. 1"Overcome the obstacles."
* Angela opens her eyes, they seem a bit dim as she looks at her. "Your initiation... it's changed..."
<Vyssa> <Terra> *follows up, glaring at the mech, throwing fire to try to distract it*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon Mech glows and fries Megumi with dark energy.
<Freyja> 6Megumi topples off, rolling into a kneel. 1"...D-damn."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon Mech tries to eat Megumi.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "You little FUCKER!" *throws off a surprising amount at the mech's body, attempting to punch-stab it*
<Freyja> 6Megumi jams her zanbato into its mouth vertical-wise and attempts to scramble away.
<Marcus`> *Theron is buried inside the van, he does his best to turn around and check on Cass and Setsuna's condition, a frown on his face the entire time.
<Freyja> 6Lilith collapses aside Spirit, clutching her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* It eats zanbato, then is punched stabbed by Terra. It replies with dark energy
<Vyssa> <Terra> *rushes to avoid the blast*
<Ariel> 6* Em telekinetically bitchslaps the Dragon's face, standing on top of a nearby building. She hadn't made an appearance in a while.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope smokes his cig, standing beside Em. He aims a rail gun.
<Freyja> 6Megumi skids to a halt, eyeing it for any sort of joints or revealing areas when it flexes or moves.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you... okay...?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> Boss fights are lame. 6He fires it at it's face.
<Freyja> <Lilith> I fear not. It has been some time since I lost ...parts of me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Your kidding me? I'm not lieing!"
<Myria> ...Mr. Dias...?
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon is hit in the face. It bitchslaps the building the two are and lets them fall into a debris rubble pit of doom.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks. "What?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Whatever. 6He clicks the phone off. 1"Yes Myria?
<Angela> "This is goig to be wierd, but just trust me. Keep yourself open and initiating..."
<Freyja> "Winters, are we getting Erevis home, or staying around to witness the children's reunion?"
* Angela turns a little red.
<Ariel> 6* Em focuses to build enough of a shield to keep them from getting crushed. Being crushed sucks.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Okay...
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon flies upward.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *keeps punching at the mech, faster and faster, wisps of flame rising around her*
* Chad`Winters looks at Freyja. 1"Children? What the heck are you talking about?"
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Come back here, you bastard!"
* Angela leans down and kisses her, and the Bonding starts.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks.
* Freyja glances toward where she last sensed the two bonding and shrugs. 1"They resemble children to me."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mph!
* Angela pulls away as well, her embarrasment clear through the bond.
<Myria> ...why is your hand on my breasts...?
<Vyssa> <Terra> *launches fireball after fireball at the mech, utterly pissed off and with no clue how else to attack*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...That's what that is. I thought it was familiar.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr touches her lips. "I can feel your thoughts."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon decides Terra has the right idea
<DeathStar> 6* It launches van sized fireballs at the group, mainly Terra.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *tries to counter the fire with her own*
<Myria> ...stop...please...
<DeathStar> 6* Pope looks around, then up at the fire.
<DeathStar> <Pope> ... you might want to shield them, luv.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry, I thought maybe you'd gain more power. 6He stops
* Angela nods, there's an intense protectiveness running through the Bond.
<Angela> "So... let's save the world?"
<Ariel> 6* Em pushes the debris into the way of the fireballs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alright.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon gets annoyed. It decides Em gets too little screen time, so it's alright to kill her. It launches a dark beam right for her and Pope.
<Myria> ...that's stupid.
* Angela hugs her gently, and they form a mech.
<Freyja> 6Megumi leaps, punching a sizeable chunk of debris held together with ribar toward the dragon, then scrambles away with a bloody hand.
<Ariel> 6* Em grabs Pope and RUNS.
<DeathStar> 6* The two are thrown from the impact and buried under rubble, too
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon turns, is hit by a rock debris.
<Freyja> <Megumi> Oy, you overgrown aquarium pet... Quit messing with them. I have you."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon suddenly flies away.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well excuse me for trying something.
<Freyja> 6Megumi sighs in her thoughts, relieved.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* They have a slight window of opportunity to like, free buried people now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So how ya been?
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon flies toward the rooftop where Zephyr and Angel are at. It fires a dark beam at it.
<Freyja> 6Megumi turns. 1"Alright, now to... ..."
<Ariel> 6* Em starts to dig her and Pope out. Yea~ for power without control.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *glares at the fleeing dragon, then goes to free people, trying not to burn them*
* Marcus` shifts, "Drake...can you hear me?"
<Chad`Winters> Incoming. 
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks dead.
<Freyja> 6Megumi goes about using her strength to lift and sift. Freeing the people least likely to kick her ass first, then others.
* Angela takes flight with Zephyr, a decently sized Mech, boosters giving it flight as it twists in the air, colored a dark blue and black, the formed shape is sleek and sturdy looking.
* Chad`Winters grabs Erevis and begins runnign away with her
* Marcus` frowns, he is pinned or else he would try to get over to him and check his pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* The rooftop explodes, throwing debris down at Chad.
<Angela> "Nice... we'll need higher then the first form to take a Dragon form though."
<Freyja> 6Chii stares at Chad, then slams her fist into the debris to break it away, black flames about her hand.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can't go higher. Just....lets try anyway.
* Freyja tilts her head. 1"Mister Winters, where do you believe you are going now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya weees.
* Chad`Winters kicks, rolling with Aya and Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya acks.
* Angela smiles, giving her a gleaming memory of Zephyr in Dragon form. "I've seen you go higher."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon rams Zephyr, biting into the mech's shoulder.
* Ariel moves to block any debris that'd hit the others.
* Angela adjusts, slamming Zephyr's fist into the Dragon and firing boosters.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel saves the others, but is hit by debris herself?
<Myria> ...I was ok...until someone threw my Madara at a beam!
* Ariel is sooooooo glad she has armour.
* Vyssa moves to help, shooting any large pieces before they hit
* Freyja grabs Ariel's shoulders, briefly empowering her to make sure she doesn't injure herself in the process.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh Lilith? Yeah she's a worthless mutt. You shoulda slugged her.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon moves away, circling
<Vyssa> <Terra> "So now what?"
<Angela> "Form whatever weaponry you like, I'll make some distance."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to pull herself out of the debris.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms a giant sized dragoon buster gun.
* Angela sends Zephyr back and away from the Dragon.
<Freyja> 6Lilith assists with her good hand, sighing.
* Marcus` works to get himself free.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ready?
<Freyja> "Since we cannot seem to get away from the battle zones..."
<Angela> "Ready!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> DRA-
* Angela helps with aiming.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *helps Marcus out, her flames seeming to die down a bit*
<Myria> Hmmph!
<Angela> DRA-
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> GOON!
<Angela> GOON!
* Freyja inclines her head, looking sternly toward Chad, Aya and Ariel. 1"Can we at least find a place we are not constantly dodging things?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragn senses some lame Japanese move coming
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> BUSTAH!
<Angela> BUSTAH!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires a giant beam at the dragon.
* Marcus` nods his head to her once. "....thanks..." He shifts, moving to try and pull Drake free. "Go see to Theron. He pulled Cass and Sets into the van."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragon is hit and is knocked out of the air, falling toward Chad and the others.
* Freyja stares upward. 1"I've seen this anime. The main character always survives at the expense of the surroundings being vaped..."
<Vyssa> "Everyone, move!"
* Chad`Winters looks up. 1"This isn't our day Aya. 6He gets up and grabs her Erevis again and begisn running away, as fast as he can
<Angela> "Don't relent!"
<Freyja> 6Chii re-grabs Erevis so Chad can move quicker, as Freyja runs along with Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims again, already tired. "Again."
<Vyssa> <Terra> *grabs a wounded person and RUNS*
* Vyssa does likewise
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Lets see if I can do that move that girl made me do. DIVINE.
<Myria> Run away!
* Myria speeds off!
<Angela> DIVINE.
<DeathStar> 6* The dragon smashes into the road, tearing a hole into it. It's tail tries to whip Ariel, in anger.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> DRAGOON!
<Angela> DRAGOON!
* Marcus` lifts Drake up, checking his pulse.
* Ariel dives.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How...How'd you get away? 6Lays trapped under the rubble
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> BUSTER!
<Angela> BUSTER!
<DeathStar> 6 * Drake grabs Marcus' hand. "I'm fine."
* Freyja floats over the tail. 1"Good grief. Dragon-mother, are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* The fire a beam down at the dragon - and Ariel.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Can you stand?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> No.
<Ariel> "Move!" *takes cover*
<DeathStar> 6* The beam hits the dragon head on and causes a mighty explosion. Ariel learns air time.
* Freyja attempts to form a barrier for Ariel while she moves upward, but it will only lessen things. Not of the same calibur.
<DeathStar> 6* A mech hand catches Ariel.
<Marcus`> Then you're not fine. *He lifts Drake up, glancing towards Megumi and Terra* Gather everyone up, we need to retreat to some type of hospital...*he glances at Drake* Any ideas?
* Chad`Winters is picked up by the shockwave, he tucks Aya and rolls up as he tumbles along the ground.
* Ariel looks up, wondering why she didn't just hit a wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela and Zephyr hold Ariel like a doll.
<Vyssa> "Some sort of non-destroyed hospital."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is rolled over?
* Angela coughs a bit, trying not to let Zephyr know the degree of pain she's in. "I think... she'll be fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy comes driving up in her car. "Need a life?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Er, lift? 6She eyes Marcus
* Angela looks at the fallen Dragon.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "A lift sounds good. You can drive?"
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Billy. "....probably both, darlin." He slides Drake into the backseat, then moves and helps Theron get Setsuna and the half-a-cass in the back as well, both of them get inside. "
<DeathStar> 6* The dragon is no..longer there?
* Angela scans about for her.
<Ariel> "...don't worry about me. You still have a battle to fight." *regains her footing*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stays trapped under some rubble
<Freyja> <Megumi> Last time we approached a hospital it did not fair well, it seems. Is there anyone in need of immediate attention?
<DeathStar> 6* Spade plants something right at the back of Zephyr's head, then flips off. An explosion like that what the team faced in the army battles goes off, destroying anything it touches.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Lilith... wondering if she'll be okay with her arm.
<Marcus`> Cassandra. *he notes, to Megumi* It'll be a tight squeeze...hmmm. Where's Di...i'll be back. *he hops out and moves to dig Dias out*
* Chad`Winters skids along the ground and slams into a destroyed car, causing him to wince in pain.
* Angela winces in shared pain, "Zeph... you alright...?"
* Freyja peers up at the ...mecha, and explosion and moves quite quickly in reverse, while Chii seems to sense this and move as well in the opposite.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr breaks the bond in a panic and they both fall to the ground, the dark wave passing over them. Zephyr lands in a bloody mess.
* Angela lands with her, already a bloody mess.
* Ariel does her best to break Zephyr's fall, since she's falling as well.
<Angela> "Z-Zeph...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's head is bloodied, as if she just last part of it in that explosion
<Angela> <I'll... take it from here...>
<Angela> "Ariel... watch her..."
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna suddenly tackles Angela, turns, and hurls her across the street into a building.
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> You can never save your pilots, can you?
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Or your dragoons.
<Chad`Winters> Aya, are you ok?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is KOed.
* Angela stands slowly, then tumbles, groaning as she hits a wall, standing slowly.
<Angela> "Says the dead woman..."
* Freyja approaches Angela and Ariel, with Chii nearby holding Erevis. 1"...This does not seem to be fairing well for the group of miracles."
* Marcus` lifts Dias up and out of the debris.
* Chad`Winters takes a deep breath and stands up.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna forms her guns and fires them at the wall, brinding the building down on Angela.
* Ariel pulls herself to her feet, slowly. She tried to protect Zephyr... but it didn't help much. She looks to Freyja, "... is it still within your ability to help her?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> MY HERO! 6He goes to kiss her.
* Angela runs forward, charging right into Seraphna.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Him
* Marcus` headbutts him again. "...get in the car."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias head snaps back and he stumbles
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna leaps over Angela.
* Angela grabs her ankles and brings her down, hard.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna lands, then puts her gun into Angela's knee, firing, and blowing it off.
* Freyja glances down at Zephyr. 1"...It would have a lot to do with her own will, I imagine, but nothing is impossible." 6She kneels, holding out a hand. 1"I don't know how much I can manage having gone through so much today, however we can start with staunching."
<DeathStar> 6* A dark blast hits Freyja in the face.
* Angela cries out and tumbles, she swings her sword right at Sera as she takes the time to fire.
* Chad`Winters unholsters his gun and lifts it up. He aims at Seraphna, waiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna is stabbed in the stomach. She sneers, then aims at Angela's face.
<Freyja> 6Chii reactively reaches out and stops Freyja's backward tumble, the girl in white reeling.
* Marcus` moves to get in the car.
<Ariel> "...can you work while moving?
* Chad`Winters pulls the trigger as she aims for Angela's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stands there. "Your soul is ours."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Hey, can we fit everyone in?"
* Angela ducks down.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade fires more dark beams at Freyja.
<Freyja> "I cannot work while being shot..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Where's my blue berry?"
* Freyja levitates and moves upward at an angle, merely delaying them with barriers, having to dodge for the most part.
* Ariel pulls away from the dark blasts.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *listens to some comms* Hey, it sounds like your friends are being attacked.
* Vyssa goes to collect Myria
<Freyja> 6Chii hesitates, not sure what to do about it while holding Erevis.
* Marcus` glances inside and looks at Billy. "Where/"
<DeathStar> 6* Spade telekentically grabs Freyja, then slams her into the ground.
* Chad`Winters stumbles over to Marcus, he rubs his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hits the gas with her extended leg sticks.
* Myria still running down the street!!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias!
<Freyja> "Son of a..."
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna rips the sword out of her.
<Vyssa> "..." *rushes after*
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna leaps back, dripping black blood.
* Freyja clutches at the ground, slowly leaning upward with a perturbed look. She can't maintain her happy-go-lucky atmosphere in this.
* Ariel forms her blade in one hand.
* Angela still hanging onto the sword, goes with Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade applies pressure to Freyja's neck, aiming to break it.
* Myria leans over, huffing and puffing...
<Myria> Need...Omega...Cokes...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She just drove off.
* Ariel clears her mind and fires a holyblast at Spade
* Freyja fidgets terribly in reaction, but reaches out, forming to loose a light arrow at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade holds up a dark shield to block the blast.
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> ... ...
<Freyja> 6Chii moves to set Erevis where she believes safe, being quick about it.
<DeathStar> 6* Sapde leaps back.
* Angela twists her wrist, bringing the blade straight through Sera's wrist.
<Vyssa> "No Myria, what you need is to get away from the danger."
* Marcus` glances at Dias. "....guess we have to walk."
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna lets go, spinning and firing into Angela's chest.
<Myria> Oh!
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Too slow, human.
<Ariel> "Freyja... take Zephyr. Get her to some place that can help."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Suppose we do it the fun way. 6He cracks his neck as black begins to creep up his neck, part of it going to his eyes. 1"Holy SHIT!"
<Freyja> "I would be glad to if that were an option."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade suddenly pins Ariel to the ground so she can't move, with a wave of his hand
* Chad`Winters reaims, than fires again at Seraphna from his spot.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Stay out of this. You are not important.
* Marcus` eyes Dias. "...holy shit?"
* Angela continues her spin, moving back a little, her side clipped, she growls. "Not giving up."
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna dodges the shot.
* Freyja takes the opportunity to form three arrows, taking to moving on her own legs as she fires.
* Angela moves, stabbing for Sera's heart as she dodges.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can see color! 6He looks at Marcus. "And you're ugly."
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna urks, eyeing her heart. "....Angela..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps up.
<Angela> "Two bodies... one soul... I'm staying with the Good Guys..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade lands again.
<Marcus`> ....come'on. They're probably going for the twins...which is at Chad's place. *he wolfs out and breaks into a run, on all fours, towards chad's*
<Freyja> "Bastard, you know what your problem is?"
* Ariel grits her teeth... oh, THIS is embarassing
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> ... .... Heh....guess...I lost...
* Vyssa grabs Myria and runs
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Never...saw them..coming..
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna falls to her knees as her soul is drained out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias laughs excitedly and dashes after Marcus, keeping up with him at his speeds.
* Angela twists the blade. "I'm sorry Sera."
<DeathStar> <Spade> What?
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna falls over, a dead husk.
* Myria hauled along!!!
* Chad`Winters shifts his aim towards Spade and fires 4 shots at him
<Freyja> "You think too far ahead, worry about the future too much."
* Freyja fires a set of two arrows.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade blocks all four with dark shields, then dodges the arrows.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade suddenly grabs Aya telekentically, lifting her up. "If you interfere anymore, Winters, the kid dies."
* Angela breathes in, and moves back, limping. "Just had this freaking leg fixed..."
* Freyja hesitates finally.
<Freyja> "...Shit.."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Freyja. Will you give me your soul for the life of this kid?
* Chad`Winters 's hands clench around his gun and he just drops it.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade lets Ariel go, focusing all his energy on Aya's tiny neck.
<Freyja> "I don't see the future like you unless I sit down and really, really think about it."
<Freyja> "What happens to the kid if I do, eh?"
<DeathStar> 6* The sword glowers. It seems Angela needs to stab herself again.
* Chad`Winters eyes Freyja with hate.
<DeathStar> <Spade> She is unimportant. I will let her go.
<Freyja> "And how do I know that?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> You do not. But, if you do nothing, she will die. That outcome is foreseen.
* Angela brings it full circle, driving it into herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela falls over dead again
<DeathStar> 6* Billy arrives at the scene.
* Freyja frowns, crossing her arms, tapping her foot.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pulls himself out of the car, stumbling over and yanking out the sword from Angela, looking better
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well.
<Chad`Winters> Leave my daughter out of this.
* Angela lays there.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya makes a choking sound as pressure is applied.
<Chad`Winters> SPADE!
* Angela grips her hand into a fist, as she cries softly.
<DeathStar> <Spade> ... 6* Spade stands there, completely in control.
<Chad`Winters> TAKE ME INSTEAD!
<Freyja> "What's so important about our fragmented souls, anyway? The one thing I know nothing about is your kind. Just what will you do with it?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Unimportant. Give me your soul now.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya begins to turn a shade of blue.
* Angela slowly picks herself up.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pokes Angela with a stick
<Angela> "I'm fine Andrea."
* Chad`Winters growls, his hand twitching.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Drat.
* Freyja lifts her hand, pointing at Spade. 1"If you want it so bad, then..."
* Angela wipes her eyes.
<Angela> "She hid it all so well... we did..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade forms a dark spike, and hurls it at Freyja's heart.
<Angela> "Now to set it all right."
* Freyja performs her short-range jump and grabs Aya, while Chii strikes at Spade from the side.
* Ariel fires a holy beam at Spade's hand while he attacks Freyja.
<DeathStar> 6* A neck breaking is heard.
<Ariel> NRP: Wrist
* Angela pulls out her gun, unclicking the safety.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Fantastic choice.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stumbles once.
<Freyja> "Didn't really have one."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade lets Aya drop.
* Marcus` slides up to the scene, he pauses, trying to get an idea of what is going on.
* Chad`Winters moves over catching Aya, a paniced look on his face.
* Angela quirks a brow, looking at Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps away.
<DeathStar> <Spade> The soul of a child will do, I suppose.
* Angela raises her gun, following his path of movement, and fires.
<Chad`Winters> Aya...6His hand begins feeling for a pulse
* Freyja lets Spade drop away, closing her eyes while Chii moves before her. She's searching, and attempting to interrupt that soul stealing path.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade knocks the shot away with his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing
<Angela> *It explodes when it touches his hand.
<Chad`Winters> Aya?! 6He moves his ear down to her mouth
<DeathStar> 6* Spade eyes his damaged hand, which heals.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Well, Freyja. We now know your level of commitment to stay alive.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade vanishes into the darkness.
<Freyja> "Tch."
<Chad`Winters> AYA! 6He begins performing CPR
* Angela looks over at Chad, then stares, walking over swiftly. "No..."
<Freyja> 6Chii looks questioningly at Freyja and shakes her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares in shock at Aya.
* Chad`Winters kneels, hunched over Aya. He slowly rises, his hand grabbing his gun.
* Marcus` reverts back to his human form, his eyes wide, they drift from the husk of Seraphna to little Aya in Chad's arms.
* Angela falls to her knees by Chad, staring, face going white.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slows to a stop, eyeing the scene
* Ariel stands slowly... there doesn't seem to be a lot she can do here. And starts for the nearest medical facility.
* Chad`Winters raises his gun and aims it at Freiyja firing right for her heart.
* Freyja moves just a bit to the side, keeping a straight face, looking after Spade's exit.
<DeathStar> 6* The shot - moves a bit to the side
<Freyja> "You're one of-- Well, you used to be one of those things."
<Freyja> "They keep the souls they collect, correct?"
<DeathStar> 6* And Freyja's heart is pierced as she doesn't move a second time.
* Marcus` watches the shot go through Freyja's chest, wondering how exactly the shot moved, but saying nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade steps out, clapping. "Well done, Chad, well done."
* Chad`Winters falls to his knee's a distant look in his eyes as he let's the gun hit the ground. 1"Give me my daughter's soul back, now."
* Freyja doesn't know either, staring at the exit wound. Chii stares at her other half.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade suddenly grabs Freyja from behind and yanks out the soul from Freyja.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Hm? Of course.
* Angela stares at the scene, "Oh god not again..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade walks over and places Aya's soul back into her tiny body. "Better fix that death thing, though. Brain damage."
<Freyja> "...Was going to ask how we found him so I could return it, though it seems he's right there."
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja is dead, sadly.
* Freyja falls right over.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade turns to Chii now.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Now, shouldn't you join your other half?
<Freyja> <Chii> ...You're both bastards.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade laughs a bit.
* Chad`Winters turns, moving to help Aya.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks off, dashing in towards Spade.
<Freyja> <Chii> But at least he's a father.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Come on Chii. You can either come with me now, or I'll corrupt you slowly from afar.
<Angela> "Chii, don't listen to him."
<Freyja> <Chii> Didn't you know? I'm already corrupted, jackass.
<Freyja> <Chii> I just happened to love my sister.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade sighs, as if it's a trivial matter.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Her soul is already in us.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake swings his sword at Spade, but the man dodges and punches Drake.
* Chad`Winters leaps forward, twisting around and throwing a roundhouse kick at Spade's backside
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Spade blocks with an arm.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<DeathStar> <Spade> I got what I came for.
* Marcus` slides out his blades, his twirls a blade as he moves in, slashing one blade out for Spade's side.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade flies straight up.
* Dias presses against it then rolls, swinging his other leg at him ash e flies up
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' leg goes swinging at a blade.
* Marcus` stops his swing, glancing up.
* Marcus` pauses and lowers it as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy frowns.
<Dias> 6Dias misses and biffs it, landing on his face.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, we're back to square one.
<Marcus`> ...this is very annoying.
* Angela looks at Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya seems okay now.
<Freyja> 6Chii glares at Billy. 1"We're further than square one."
<DeathStar> <Billy> *puts a hand on her hip* Oh? We should probably kill you now before you become a Dark One, too.
<Dias> 6Chad kneels, there his hand constantly touching her cheek.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake frowns.
<Angela> "No Andrea. We've already removed one threat. Now there's only Freyja to worry about."
<DeathStar> <Drake> None of this makes sense to me. *he puts his fingers to his forehead*
<Angela> "And what then Billy? They kill you for her soul?"
* Dias grumbles as he pushes himself up.
<Freyja> <Chii> I do not have one.
* Angela blinks, looking at Chii.
<Angela> "What?"
<Freyja> 6She walks over slightly growling down at Billy. 1"And yes, at least -your- soul-less body is stable."
<Freyja> <Chii> Tell me, how -is- that possible?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy glares up.
* Marcus` eyes Chii, he slides over to Billy's side. "You will back off, or I will make you."
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm not the one who will become a Dark One slave because I lost my better half.
<Freyja> <Chii> Shut up, mutt. As if I can kill her without any abilities.
* Marcus` quickly has one of his blades to her neck. "Watch your tongue, bitch."
<Angela> "All of you be quiet, this isn't helping anything."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sighs. "We need to come up with a plan."
<Freyja> 6She lacks fear. Never had it. 1"Without our soul, I don't have any spiritual powers. Your precious 'Andrea' could kill me without trying."
<Freyja> 6Chii then glances at Drake. 1"Plan for what?"
* Marcus` glances down at Billy.
<DeathStar> <Drake> They wanted your soul for a reason, right? Something about two beings with one soul seems to be a thing for them.
<DeathStar> <Drake> So, clearly we can't let them keep the thing.
<Freyja> <Chii> It was a prophecy by your short one here. Freyja didn't uncover the meaning, so neither have I.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *rubs his forehead* Do you feel like you're being taken over?
<Freyja> 6Chii has to think on that.
* Marcus` slides the blade back in it's sheath, but his glare remains locked on Chii.
<Angela> "Two bodies with one soul, will lead the Dark Ones to Victory or Ultimate Demise."
<Freyja> <Chii> If you interpret it that way, then they lack myself, which is one of the 'leading bodies.' However, is it not the soul itself they are focused on?
<Freyja> 6She wanders over and kneels beside the unmoving Freyja.
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls himself from Billy's car finally. "Not to ruin this little get together. But Cassandra and Setsuna need a hospital, now."
<DeathStar> <Drake> *rubs his chin* Alright, maybe we can put a temporary thing on Chii. Keep her from being swayed by the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps over with his sword.
<Angela> "We got this way because we shouldn't have been. I was kept safe from her in the past and I went back to the present without her out of the timeline."
* Angela stops, blinking.
<Freyja> <Chii> I don't feel any diff-- ...The hell are you doing with that?
<Angela> "...This is going to get confusing."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Just trust me. After all the trouble you caused, you can manage that much, right
<DeathStar> 6* Drake takes her hand and cuts it with the sword, if she lets him
<Dias> All I want to know is, who took my keys?
<Freyja> <Chii> The last thing Freyja was telling me to do was to keep your friend safe. I suppose that entails that she wished to assist-- for the time being that is.
<Freyja> 6She lets him. If that's all he wants, she doesn't care.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake then cuts his own hand and mixes their blood. "This is a binding spell. It'll protect you from the Dark Ones, I think. I don't know how they work, so I could be wrong. It should also give you some of your abilities back."
<Freyja> 6She narrows her eyes in doubt, but holds up her palm, focusing on her black flame.
* Angela eyes Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sheathes the sword. As Drake said, Chii has limited powers back.
<Freyja> <Chii> Tch. This is as weak as that stupid inugami.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head, eyeing the ruined Tokyo landscape.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hooray for victory?
<Freyja> 6She glares at Drake-- ...then sighs. 1"Thanks, I guess."
<DeathStar> 6* Later that day
<DeathStar> 6* Drake paces around the hospital room as most of the team is in the medical rooms.
<Vyssa> "So, despite everything, the mission was a failure..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks in, looking strained. "Jesus, you people know how to cause problems."
* Angela stands outside Zephyr's room, having waved away most help after getting basic first aid, she seems to be in a cross between waiting and guarding.
* Marcus` sits in a chair, leg propped up with his head turned toward a window.
<Vyssa> "I was not to blame."
* Dias grumbles as he's getting bandaged.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel lays in bed... she got off fairly easy, but she needs care.
<Freyja> 6Chii narrows her eyes at Katrina, as if sizing up an intruder, then goes back to casually leaning on the wall outside Erevis' room, trading concerned glances with Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits inside Aya's room with Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Having snuck out when no one else noticed.
* Ariel has refused treatment... and hasn't left Zephyr after bringing her here.
<Dias> 6Chad sits beside Aya's bed, his eyes having not left her since they showed up
<Vyssa> <Terra> *sticks with Megumi*
<DeathStar> <Drake> You can say we....had some problems.
<Freyja> 6Megumi pauses a moment, then sighs grandiously. 1"...She got away again."
<Marcus`> *Theron sits in his own room, not having said much since they have arrived.
* Angela peeks in on Zephyr.
<Freyja> <Chii> ...What?
<Vyssa> "Definitely."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Myria, remembering her, then scowls at the others. "Your old General friend wants to put you all in jail."
<Freyja> <Megumi> ...Nothing. Why are you carrying around... a dead person?
<Freyja> <Chii> Can it, elf.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How are you, Chad Winters?
* Angela blinks and looks back out. "General friend? Which one?"
<Myria> ...can I have a delicious Omega coke?
<Vyssa> <Terra> *eyes Chii*
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, some guy who wants to close down Cassandra's operations. Was it Johnson? 6He asks Marcus.
<Dias> I'm fine. 6His eyes never leave Aya
<Dias> NRP: Dias
<Dias> NRP: GACK CHAD
<Vyssa> "Unfortunately for him, this is too important for such."
<Angela> "He's a prick."
* Dias sighs and moves over to Katrina, his shirt off, bandages wrapped around his ribs and shoulder. He digs into his back pocket and hands her a small card.
* Marcus` shrugs, glancing towards them. "I can't remember honestly."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Anyway, after the destruction of the city, most people are agreeing with him. I don't know if our benefactor can protect us forever.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes the card, glancing at it.
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<Vyssa> "In that case, we should hurry."
<Marcus`> Hurry where?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Your share of the profit's taken.
<Angela> "We'll be fine, we weren't at fault."
<DeathStar> <Drake> We should hurry and do what, exactly? The bad guy got away, Vyssa.
<Freyja> <Chii> ...You're that darkness-world chibi, right? Can't you fix the kid, wizkitten?
<Vyssa> "That is why we have to track him down."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I am sorry I could not do more for you, Chad Winters.
<Freyja> <Megumi> ...I can't fix -that- kind of thing.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Look, he could be half-way across the galaxy. If you want to chase after him, be my guest.
<Chad`Winters> There's nothing you can do. The doctor's aren't sure of the damages done either.
<Angela> "I doubt he's that far."
<Freyja> <Chii> Worthless. Need to find sister's soul after all.
<Vyssa> "So, what? Do we just produce 'bait' once more?"
<Freyja> 6Megumi frowns slightly, then moves toward the rest of the group, not wishing to stand outside an empty room conversing with the ticked soul-less.
<Angela> "I imagine he wants to stay close, speed the corruption."
<Angela> "If you'll excuse me, I'm checking on Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Drake> *sighs*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, at this point, no one is doing anything.
* Angela turns and heads into Zephyr's room.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The government is going to review the unit with a fine tooth comb. We'll probably get axed.
<Myria> This confrontation was inevitable...
* Marcus` frowns. "...you'd think they'd be happy that the city is still here."
<Freyja> <Megumi> Is this really a matter of the 'unit' itself?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I have my comfortable taxi job to fall back onto, among other investments.
* Freyja is now known as Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Chad quietly. "Is there anything I can do?"
<Vyssa> "This is rather larger than 'the unit'."
* Angela sits beside Zephyr, looking over her worriedly.
* Chad`Winters stand up finally. He turns moving to the window. 1"What can you do? This is out of anyone's hands..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms and leans against the wall. "What exactly happened out there, guys? It was like the apocalypse."
<Megumi> I can see how Miss Arekawa's command might be in question with the unit being involved, but is the government honestly seeing this as something containable by a handful of 'specialists?' Or are they just interested in a morale scapegoat, Miss McCormick?"
<Myria> ...Dark Ones...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That about sums it up. 6He leans against the wall beside her
<Myria> ...this was preferable to the other tactic they could have taken...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Your group was designed to go hunting the supernatural. Not Dark Ones.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions to Chii. 1"She got invovled."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Which inadvertantly drew the Dark Ones.
<Vyssa> "That can't be helped. There is no unit designed to hunt the Dark Ones."
<Megumi> <Chii> Freyja bit off more than she bargained for, I assure you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Marcus`> It's not like we wanted this fight. But we couldn't very well stand back and do nothing.
* Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair, it's obvious he's frustrated
<Angela> "We did it Zeph..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know. But at this point, we should probably keep a low profile. Let the government sort it out. With the Dark Ones, there'll always be another shot at payback.
<Megumi> <Chii> Frankly I'm surprised she even bothered trying to get the kid back from that man. She must have lost her mind.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Right now we need to keep the unit together, and we need to not do anything that will land us all in jail beside Darien.
<Vyssa> "And just allow them to get stronger?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Oh screw you. I am not staying inside again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Listen, Vyssa. Think about this. What can 8 people do against an galactic fleet of evil?
* Angela doesn't even seem to notice Ariel is in the room with her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> At this point, we need to get support and that means not going bounty hunting someone who can look like anyone.
<Vyssa> "Not much... but we have to do something."
<Myria> Your leaders are out of commission now...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because if you guys do step on the wrong toes, you'll be in jail a long time, Dias. That means years of being inside.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias whimpers. 1"You mean...I can't...Like you know. Have fun?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Exactly
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait, would I be put in a prison with tough criminals?"
* Marcus` tilts his head back, his eyes sliding out the window again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Doubt it
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Bounty hunting. Even if I can locate Freyja, the redhead's right about me not being able to do anything about it-- Freyja and I couldn't stand together against one of them, let alone myself alone against however many others."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bah, jail doesn't soun like fun.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *Rubs his chin* At this point, I think it would be best to step back. As long as Chii isn't in danger of fulfilling their prophecy you guys mentioned, we should regroup. We did lose a quarter of the city.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Wait, maximum security?"
<Vyssa> "... as long as Chii is in no danger of fulfilling it, agreed."
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm not fulfilling anything. I want my sister back.
* Marcus` glances at Drake. "Sounds like a plan to me."
<Vyssa> "But do we know for certain that she is not in danger of it?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you. I'll work on getting something done about this. Are the Erusians nearly ready again to fight? 6She asks Myria.
<DeathStar> <Drake> We don't know anything. But frankly, it sounds better to me than running around blindly and doing nothing successful.
<Vyssa> "I am certain that the Syin will give their assistance."
<Megumi> 6Lilith enters quietly, looking rather taxed.
<DeathStar> <Drake> When your enemy can crush you like a thumb, you don't charge after them.
<Megumi> <Chii> Agreed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias clicks his tongues as if insulted.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It would be better if other races could try to find out their plans. I mean, Myria isn't bound by our unit's restrictions. And she's the Dark One expert.
<Vyssa> "I would appreciate intelligence gathering."
<Megumi> <Lilith> I have... retrieved ...anything I could find of ...'Madara...' I believe it useless, if thought otherwise." 6Bows, and goes about finding Spirit by sense and scent.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis speaks again. "Where will you stay now, Chad Winters?"
* Marcus` looks to Myria now, as well.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks up as she gets a visitor.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So what do we do than Kat?
* Angela listens to the others she signs gently as she looks over Zephyr again. <Get well soon...>
<Megumi> 6Lilith kneels by Raquel, then collapses against her, starved for rest.
<Chad`Winters> As soon as Aya recovers, I'm leaving. I've put her in enough danger as it is.
<Myria> ...ummm?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should stay at my place while she recovers. It is a safe place. You can regroup your thoughts there.
<Myria> You got the bits of Madara?! *leaps at Lilith*
<Vyssa> "... I joined the team to investigate... I am uneasy about not performing that duty."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... *sighs as Myria ignores the important part*
<Vyssa> "Myria. This is more important."
* Angela sits back, closing her eyes.
<Megumi> 6Lilith... opens one eye and peers at Myria inquisitively as she rests near Raquel. 1"...The remains, yes. I surfaced them, since they were magnetic. Beside the ruined hospital. I think your friends are trying to consult your experience, however..."
<Marcus`> *Theron steps out of his room, he looks to Myria. "Miss Myria." he eyes her, obviously giving her one of those "daddy" looks.
<Chad`Winters> I took another's life Erevis to save my own daughters. I made a deal with the devil itself...And the worst part..6He turns to face Erevis, a look of confusion on his face. 1"Is that I don't regret it...It should sicken me to my very core..."
<Myria> In that case...it would be simple to restore Madara with all the raw mat-Whaaaaaaaat?
<DeathStar> <Drake> SHE's the dark thing expert?
<Vyssa> "... The Dark Ones. We need intelligence on them."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake puts his fingers to his forehead.
<Myria> What about them?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tilts her head. "Would you do it again?"
* Marcus` smirks at Drake. "It's kinda funny that we've survived for so long, huh?"
<Vyssa> "We need to know everything you know about them."
* Vyssa looks a little annoyed
<Chad`Winters> I don't konw...It's my daughter Erevis, the only thing I have left of Eve.
<Megumi> <Chii> ... 6Stares at Myria. 1"I'm never getting my sister back."
<Myria> Well...if they were really being serious... *rocks on her heels* ...instead of playing with you...
* Angela oddly, isn't in her usual state of tears of denial, she just calmly sits there, looking at her resting Dragoon.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis folds her hands in her lap. "I do not judge your decision. We all do what we think is right."
<Vyssa> "Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What I want to know, Myria, is when the Erusians will be ready to fight them?
<Angela> "I'm gonna take care of you..."
<Myria> ...oh...umm...hard to sya...stupid..whatever his name was!
* Chad`Winters slumps against the wall, his hands covering his head.
* Vyssa sighs
<Marcus`> <Theron> Myria. *he crosses his arms*
<Myria> What?
<Vyssa> "It's amazing we even got this far."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Chad Winters.
<Chad`Winters> I should hate myself Erevis, I should be digusted but I'm not. Why?
<Marcus`> <Theron> He may be stupid but we do not call him that. *he shifts, glancing to Katrina* It will take a bit more time.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<Megumi> 6Chii moves a very short distance and knocks lightly on Aya's room door.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps, for you, your daughter is all that matters in this world. I hear most parents are like that
* Angela looks up, at Ariel, then promptly looks away, as though indignant.
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. I'm going back to the government building to smooth things over.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly hugs Kat
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks away, then pauses
<Megumi> "Thank you, Miss McCormick."
<Myria> We had to hide alot of equipment from the Tsivirxsh.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... why are you touching my ass?
* Vyssa sighs. "Regardless of what I do, the team will merely stumble around blindly..."
* Marcus` frowns at Dias. "Good luck, Katrina."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Because I feel no man should go without touchign your ass.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Or woman.
* Angela sighs, her tone not exactly pleased, and looks back at Zephyr. "Strange though, despite everything we both moves as one to save you, Mother."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nice.
<Myria> Anywaaaaay...if they were being serious...they would have subverted the entire planet already.
<Angela> *moved
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats Dias' head like he were a dog, and walks off.
<Vyssa> "... I should probably not report that."
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Vyssa, then looks to Myria. "...what happened to the man that was watching over you?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flips the small card he give into the air and snatches it in the air. He wiggles his eyebrows at Marcus
<Myria> ...what man?
* Marcus` just shakes his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at the door finally.
<Marcus`> Did they not assign someone else to watch over you after I left?
<Marcus`> NRP: Theron*
<Megumi> 6Chii never receives a response, so she speaks loud enough at the door that Erevis and Chad could hear her anyway. 1"You did the right thing, Winters. If it's any consolation, both Freyja and I believe that."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hits Dias in the head and takes it back.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses, scowling.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks off.
<Megumi> 6Megumi tilts her head, wondering what the exchange was. Shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, this is all very confusing
<Myria> Nope!
* Chad`Winters looks up at the door, his expressions quickly reverting back to a neutral one.
<Vyssa> "You're not used to this planet yet?"
<Marcus`> It's not, really. *he says, rubbing his face*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses. "....I see." He glances down.
* Angela just takes Ariel's silence for what it's worth, gently fixing Zephyr's hair.
* Megumi nods to Drake. 1"I understand nothing. In my time with Erevis, I have never learned anything about Dark Ones or this prophecy business... I know as much of them as I do the government here..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I mean the fact you're all alive still.
<Vyssa> "Oh, that."
<Marcus`> Dumb luck. *he says with a wave of the hand*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh that, Too stupid to know how to die. 6He waves his hand.
<Vyssa> "..."
<Vyssa> "How long until Cassandra recovers?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Probably weeks.
* Marcus` pauses and then sits forward, "Actually, the men that led us were very talented and inspiring leaders. If not for them, this team would not have made it half as far as it has." He says very seriously.
<Myria> I had plenty of time to work on Madara!
<Vyssa> "Until then, we're the only ones who have any ability to guide this unit..."
<Marcus`> <Theron> That is good. I am sorry that it was destroyed.
<Megumi> 6Chii continues briefly. 1"True family is something we only ever found inside one another, constantly ached by the memory of the real thing. For you to have that, nothing else should be placed before it."
<Vyssa> "... I hope I'm up to the job."
<Myria> Oh, Madara is currently undergoing reassembly. *checks a datapad*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Aya, not touching her, or the equipment
* Chad`Winters stands up, moving towards the door.
<Vyssa> "For now, hopefully, we gather information on our enemies."
* Angela looks abck up at Ariel, her eyes cold.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once, "That is good to hear. Perhaps this time no one will interfere while you pilot it." he pauses, "Have you been training? You seemed to have become a better pilot."
<Myria> Maaaaaybe!
<Vyssa> "Although, something tells me that we will merely continue to stumble about."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and pulls out his cellphone and finds it broken. He tosses it to the side. 1"Marcus, let me use your phone.
<Marcus`> *Theron smiles slightly. "You did very well with the situation. I was very proud."
<Angela> "I'm glad he gave me that number..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I personally hope we get some simple cases for a while, while we heal.
* Angela shakes her head and returns to watching Zephyr.
* Marcus` holds up a phone. "Here."
<Megumi> 6Megumi eyes Drake. 1"You want to continue taking cases?"
* Chad`Winters opens the door. 1"Stay away from me and my daughter." 6His voice is filled with anger.
* Ariel doesn't care what Angela thinks right now. She's here because of Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yes.
<Megumi> <Megumi> I would not have expected that.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snatches it and dials a number on it. He puts it upto his ear and waits as it rings.
<Myria> I got praaaaaise!
<DeathStar> <Drake> We need all the training we can get.
<Marcus`> 6*Sadly, the phone is dead.
<Vyssa> "I would prefer collecting more information on the Dark Ones... however... we do need to improve. Badly."
<Megumi> <Megumi> Training? It could result in more injuries and even more personal rifts. 6She raises a hand toward Chii and Chad.
<Vyssa> "I will continue my studies."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to Myria and looks at the phone as it turns off. 1"What the hell?" 6He grumbles and smacks Myria's ass. 1"Good job Myria."
<Myria> Ack!
<DeathStar> <Drake> Then, you propose we do nothing, then? We can't find the Dark Ones right now with a black out on us.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *shakes his head*
<Marcus`> *Theron snaps a fist out to punch Dias in the face.
<Vyssa> "We must do everything possible to prepare."
<Angela> "Why did you bring Megumi?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses the phone at Marcus' head and catches the fist...with his face. He collapses to the floor.
<Megumi> 6Chii stares right back at Chad, neither sadness nor anger instilled. 1"I have no intention of staying near my sister's murderer. If he is capable of selling our soul for one person, then I should definitely be wary myself."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake crosses his arms, speaking up. "We need a temporary leader with Cassandra and Setsuna down."
<Vyssa> "..."
* Marcus` catches it and pockets it, nodding once to Theron, glancing to Drake. "Well since you're volunteering."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm not.
<Megumi> <Chii> "However, I cannot help..." 6She points to her fox ears. 1"Passing on my sister's thoughts. You were not incorrect, nor should feel any guilt, as far as we were concerned."
* Marcus` frowns. "It's a shame, because I don't really think any of us are qualified to lead."
<Vyssa> "Apparently, no-one will follow my lead even if I volunteer."
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Myria. "You should not allow him to do such things without physically harming him."
* Chad`Winters shifts. 1"You've got one chance. Move away from this room now. And never come near me or my daughter again."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I vote we make Katrina the leader, personally.
<DeathStar> <Drake> She seems to know what she's doing.
<Angela> "Never mind, you probably didn't even think. Again."
* Ariel gives Angela a questioning look. "What are you talking about?"
<Vyssa> "She is not around often enough to properly lead."
<Myria> Ok!
* Marcus` tilts his head back, "Oh? Well if she would do it, then sure. She'd be good at it, I think."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Only needs to be around on missions.
<Chad`Winters> 6Darts suddenly stands up. 1"Kat our leader?" 6He whistles loudly
<Megumi> <Chii> That would be difficult since the only order I have is to watch over her." 6Gestures toward Erevis. 1"None of your supposed friends have discerned anything else."
<Vyssa> "Has she ever been before?"
<Angela> "She's in a world of pain, scared, alone, and you bring that monster with you to rescue her."
<Angela> "Moreover, you let them FIGHT?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not require you looking after me.
<Ariel> "That 'monster' was there to help Zephyr of her own accord."
<Megumi> <Chii> Very well.
<Marcus`> *Theron oddly pats Myria on the shoudler, "I was worried that my leaving would have a negative outcome, but it seems you have done well." he nods once, then shifts back to stand by the wall.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh, yeah, Vyssa.
<Megumi> 6Chii turns immediately and walks away from Chad, unconcerned.
<Ariel> "I didn't bring her anywheres."
* Chad`Winters moves his hand to his gun, moving to unholster it, than stops as Erevis speaks. His eyes star deeply at Chii as she walks away.
<DeathStar> <Drake> The school mission. The grass mission.
<Angela> "You should learn to turn down help."
<Vyssa> "Two out of...?"
<Myria> WEll, we've been pushing in the PAX council to have a unified defense force put together. Its going to take time though.
<Vyssa> "Well, she will need to be around more often, in any case."
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once. "It always does."
<Ariel> "And secondly. For them fighting. I prevented Megumi from attacking Zephyr. I neglected to stop Zephyr from attacking Megumi."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I still vote for Katrina. If you wish to vote for yourself, go ahead.
<Megumi> 6Chii quietly steps beside Drake, stoic.
* Chad`Winters shuts the door, his hands goto his head with frustarion.
<Ariel> "And THIRD. You've attacked your allies. Slaughtered more people. And betrayed your friends, more than Megumi has in her longer lifetime."
<Vyssa> "If she will be around, I will accept her leadership."
<Angela> "You know full well how she'd fight with Megumi, if that illusion had been real, she'd be missing a hand right now."
<Ariel> "So be careful before YOU point fingers."
* Marcus` glances at Vyssa. "Three for Katrina, then."
* Angela sighs and shakes her head.
<Angela> "I've killed very few PEOPLE, many Dark Ones."
<Myria> ... ... ...give me Omega Cokes!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I vote for Katrina, if and only if she wear's something sexy every time. 6He glances over at Drake. 1"You gotta cell phone?"
<Angela> "She killed half a freaking COLONY."
<Marcus`> *Theron sighs and thwaps Myria on the nose. "Patience."
<Myria> ...ok...
<DeathStar> <Drake> No.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will prepare the guest room for you and Aya. 6She announces, standing up.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Anyway. Myria, do you know the best way to kill a Dark One?"
* Chad`Winters pauses, lowering his hands. 1"Erevis..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Angela> "And done wrong? Give me a break. I've lived every moment trying to fix my mistakes, I don't hide behind others devotions and a wall of indifference to disguise mine."
<Myria> Well...we used progenitor weapons before...but...
<Ariel> "When you're not betraying your friends again, yes. You have. And yet here you are condeming someone trying to make up for their own."
<Ariel> "You've never stopped being the hypocrit you've always been."
<Angela> "Bullshit."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances toward Zephyr's room, hearing shouting
* Chad`Winters grumbles and he looks around. 1"Terra...." 6He motions for a cell phone
<Angela> "More and more bullshit from the mouth of caring Mother."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Megumi> 6Megumi calmly walks toward Zephyr's room, despite a self-preservation instinct
<Angela> "Who sends her daughters to die in battle and barely ever seems to even wipe one tear."
* Chad`Winters sighs and then just nods. 1"Thank you Erevis."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Sure, you can borrow mine, too." *hands it over*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows and steps out.
<Myria> ...we're short on Progenitor weapons here on Earth...
<DeathStar> <Drake> Great. More infighting.
* Ariel slaps Angela for that one.
<Megumi> 6Megumi eyes Erevis, then looks toward the ground and continues toward Zephyr's room.
* Angela turns back to her, her eyes... odd.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "So, we get the next best thing."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Humans are very talented at fighting amongst one another. *he notes idley*
<Angela> "Or don't even know us at all. For all you know about us."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves slowly and stiffly, but she moves. She doesn't interrupt the family fight
<Megumi> <Chii> You have no idea.
<Vyssa> "I have noticed."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Chii. 1"Wait, why isn't she in jail?"
<Myria> ...Theron...these people are crazy...
<Megumi> <Chii> Why aren't you?
<Ariel> "You are not one of them."
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once. "Yes, they are."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm not a....head-messing...freak like you!
<Vyssa> "I have also noticed that."
<Angela> "No, I'm not, not anymore. Nor was I ever really, you never accepted your little black sheep."
<Megumi> 6Stands in the doorway, not saying anything since Ariel is focused on Angela and Angela has her back turned.
<Ariel> "Oh. I tried. I tried to accept you, while you slandered me. You never wanted acceptance. You wanted pity."
<Myria> ..no wonder their leader let herself get blown up...
* Marcus` sighs. "This team is really getting under my skin." He notes aloud.
<Megumi> <Chii> What team?
<DeathStar> <Drake> I agree. What team.
<Vyssa> "Agreed on both accounts."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake shakes his head.
<Angela> "Oh more bullshit."
<Angela> "Slandered you? I lived to even see you SMILE, let alone acknolwedge me."
<Megumi> 6Chii stares at Drake. It makes sense, but she didn't expect an agreement that quickly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You know what we need? Booze.
<Angela> "They all do, blindly, for little more reason then your system and your bloodline."
<Vyssa> "Hopefully, under Katrina's leadership, we will actually be a team for once."
<Megumi> <Chii> Yes, that might do wonders for the atmosphere.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not you, you don't get to drink with us.
<Marcus`> I honestly doubt Katrina will accept the position. I know I wouldn't.
<Megumi> <Chii> I agreed with the thought. After seeing some of the group'
<Megumi> <Chii> Group's memories, I have no interest in drinking near you.
<Vyssa> "... I have doubts that any of you would follow mine."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around and then moves towards Raquel's room.
<Vyssa> "... and to be honest, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle now."
<Megumi> 6Lilith opens a single eye and peers at Dias.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks up uncertainly
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly walks by, whistling innocently
* Angela glares at her.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Dias. My phone."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is already gone
<Angela> "All we ever wanted was a Mother, you constantly denied us that, and in your arrogance, in your constant raising of the goal for us to reach, we did many, many things."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "I should've told him that I charge interest."
* Angela looks down at Zephyr.
<Megumi> <Megumi> Yes, then again and again, the expectations for both of you rise, never falling to a reasonable level.
<DeathStar> 6* A nurse enters Raquel's room and turns down the pain killers. "There you go dear."
* Marcus` glances towards Zephyr's room, he listens closely.
<Angela> "This poor girl... it took you seeing her as an infant to even notice her."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his face, unable to not hear the fight now.
<Ariel> "......"
<Angela> "Then she became your world."
<Megumi> "Again and again you are at odds, trying to reach new heights of ridiculous false security in whatever tiny amount of ground you gain between tragedies. One day, we might understand that to truly move on, forgiveness is needed on all parts."
<Angela> "You talk about righteousness, responsibility? Where were you when I took every ounce of Hotaru's pain while she died? Where were you when Phaeton brought CHeryl and I nearly to our deaths?"
<Megumi> 6Megumi scowls. 1"Not just the ones who feel entitled to the forgiveness they want." 6Leaves.
<Megumi> 6Lilith stares at Raquel. 1"You asked the nurse to do that?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes walking back infront of the door to Lilith and Raquel's room with a cup of coffee. He takes a sip, smiling and just waves at them.
<Megumi> <Lilith> You are a strange human.
<Angela> "you're always content to stand in the background and play judge, play the ultimate in distant parent..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Maybe we should all get mindwiped.
<Vyssa> "How will that help?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And you're just a mutt...6He taps his chin. 1"I wonder if they put dogs down here..."
<Megumi> <Chii> It would effectively solve many problems, but not mine.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Then we'll forget we all apparantly hate each other
<Megumi> <Lilith> If they do, they should start with you.
<Vyssa> "It would not solve my problems either."
* Angela shakes her head. "Three times now, you've failed Zephyr. Three. You've outdone me Ariel."
<Ariel> "No, Angela. You talk of righteousness and responsibility. You blaim people for not doing enough for you. I do what I can, within my ability. I'd give everything to protect my family, while you'd sacrifice yours for your own gain."
* Marcus` shakes his head. "I don't need a mindwipe...everyone else might, though."
<Megumi> 6Lilith frowns. 1"Please do not intervene ojousama again."
<Chad`Winters> Sorry, pure bred hear mutt. 6He looks at Raquel. 1"How's the pain treating ya?"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Angela coughs up a laugh, shaking her head.
<Angela> "This is the best you have? You did everything?"
* Chad`Winters sits back down beside Aya, his hand grabbing hers.
<Megumi> 6Megumi returns, aiming a thumb at the various doors. 1"I do not understand people any better than I did leaving Kilek."
<DeathStar> <Drake> ...
<Ariel> "I'm sorry I can't spew as much lies and half-truths as you, Angela. I haven't had your practice."
<Angela> "Did your really. That's amazing. You really are somethign Ariel. The great Dragoon Mother."
<Marcus`> Megumi. Stop. *he says with a sigh*
<Vyssa> "I do not understand humans either... or Famfrit, really."
<Angela> "You relaly did everything when you stabbed yourself in front of Zephyr."
<Megumi> <Megumi> Even now that the physical chaos has ended, those two kin are tearing one another's throats, Mister Dias is making life miserable for as many as he can, we have a soul-less with no direction in retrieving it, and... Well, we do not know what to do anyway."
* Vyssa sighs
<DeathStar> <Drake> Nice recap.
* Ariel tenses, but that one doesn't hurt her as much as she it might have. She expected her to lay that one out before making up bold lies.
<Vyssa> "Things like that are common here, sadly."
<Vyssa> "There is no solidarity."
<Marcus`> ....*he silently writes something into his datapad*
<Vyssa> <Terra> "You mean Ange and Ariel? They've never gotten along that great that I remember."
<Ariel> "I have my sins to atone fore. I don't deny that."
<Megumi> 6Megumi wanders off to talk to a nurse about Spirit and Lilith and Dias.
<Angela> "More then you dare lay claim to."
<Megumi> 6Chii asks a receptionist about sake.
<DeathStar> 6* The recptionist stares.
* Angela stares at her, simply infuriated at being called a liar when all she's said is the raw truth of the matter.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "I was kindof expecting some sort of team here."
<Megumi> <Chii> Can you not hear all this going on? Sake is the least to ask.
<DeathStar> <Receptionist> We do not have sake here.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Tch, damn.
<Megumi> 6Chii returns to Drake's side.
<DeathStar> 6* Some doctors walk into Zephyr's room. "We have to ask you two to leave. The patient needs her rest."
<Angela> "Your mistake, Ariel, is assuming you're even TALKING to Angela."
* Marcus` stands up finally. "I'll be outside if you need me." He turns and walks off.
* Angela shakes her head. "I've been able to look at two entirely different lives."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias whistles as he watches Raquel in pain.
<Angela> "How was I so blind as to actually follow you?"
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors glare now.
* Ariel simply leaves like the doctors ask, bowing her head to them.
<Megumi> 6Megumi informs the attendents of Raquel, motioning to Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors give Raquel back her pain killers, and throw Dias out
* Angela shakes her head and looks at Zephyr, then the doctors. "Sorry, take good care of her."
<Vyssa> "... what does it take for human beings to work together?"
* Angela turns and walks out.
<DeathStar> <Drake> ....
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Several days later. Zephyr has recovered enough she is awake again, but remains in the hospital to recover. After Aya wake up, though weak from the neck break, moved in with Chad Winters into Erevis' hoppin' pad. Angela was given a place to stay in the HQ temporarily. The city began it's repairs. Myria began her repairs on her mech. And Bob the Janitor got a job.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes the assembled team in the HQ.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms, pacing, glancing at everyone who showed up. She doesn't seem to care who turnedi n for this.
* Vyssa looks towards Katrina, hoping things will improve now
* Marcus` sits in his chair, he keeps his eyes on Katrina quietly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans precariously backwards in a chair, balancing on the hind legs.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I have to say. These past few months have been a complete mockery of everything we've stood for.
<Megumi> 6Chii eyes Katrina back, having had no other place to go.
<Vyssa> "Agreed."
<Ariel> 6* Em listens quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sits near Chii. She seems stronger when in his proximity.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands towards the back of the room, arms crossed as he watches Katrina.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know most of you are new. So maybe you don't feel connected to those around you, but I want to ask you all something. I want to think about why you're here in this unit. Is it because of friends? The job? OR simply because you have nowhere to go. 6She pats Raquel on the head.
<Megumi> <Lilith> ...Ojousama and I are connected.
<Vyssa> "I, personally, am here to discover the Truth."
<Megumi> <Chii> I have nowhere to go.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm hear to fight and to make sure those two don't try to murder anyone again. 6He points two fingers at Lilith and Raquel
<DeathStar> <Drake> The job.
* Vyssa says the word truth with almost reverence
<Megumi> <Lilith> You are closer to murder than we.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina comes to a stop, her counselor face on. "Dias."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel rests a hand on Lilith's arm.
* Marcus` doesn't bother speaking up.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What?! They tried killing me and Marcus. And as someone who rather enjoys living. I do not like the death part.
<Megumi> 6Lilith blinks at Raquel, then calms.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> DIas
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sounds harsh now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Seriously?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Shut. Up.
<Megumi> 6Chii just crosses her arms and smirks.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles friendlylike now.
* Angela stares out a window, it's hard to tell if she's paying attention, she's gone back to dying a strand of her hair electric blue, and her eyes are... colder.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hrmphs and crosses his arms, obviously pissed
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We cannot be chained by our past actions. All of us come from somewhere. The fact is we're here together now. Some of us are killers, some of us were nothings, some of us are heroes, and some of us jsut whatever. The fact is we're a team now. A unit. The closest thing to family. And if you can't trust the person beside you, then this unit is going to fail. So, Dias - and Marcus - if you cannot trust those next to you, please go.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eats a beef jerky
* Marcus` holds up a hand. "Whoa. Don't align me with him."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then you can drop your past grudges, Marcus?
<Marcus`> Sure thing.
* Angela stays silent. Glaring at a cloud, her enemy.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Dias now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Whatever. 6He shuffles.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... right."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not whatever, Dias. 6She kneels there, putting a hand on his. "Listen, everyone. We've all done wrong. But if you can't establish an air of peace, then you're all going to be torn apart by the enemy. Would John want that, Dias? Would John let grudges stop him?" 6She looks him in the face.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Oh, that guy.
<Angela> "John moved past his grudges."
<Megumi> 6Chii looks to Drake, currently more interested in experimenting with her proximity to him.
<Angela> "He made friends of his worst enemies."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake props his head up, watching the others.
* Angela speaks quietly, but firmly, she seems to be daydreaming otherwise.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at her, wondering how dare she have the balls. 1"Ballsy move there Kat. But the thing is, my end goals' never changed. And it's not a grudge I can just let go. Will I let it stop me from getting the tasks before me done. No.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I tried to kill you before, Dias. *she speaks up*
<DeathStar> <Billy> You don't hate me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You've always saved me several times.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then give the dog and her mafia master a chance to save you
<Megumi> <Lilith> ...Mafia... master..?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel twitches, "...mafia...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy just winks.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And then subsequently stabbed me several other times...6He scratches his head. 1"Look this is just hurting my head."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "You know, I'm starting to wonder if I should be here."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits on the arm of Dias' chair, leaning close to him. "Exactly. That's what I'm saying. We've all done wrong. If you can't all give each other a blank slate, then it means nothing. That goes for you, too, Angela." 
* Angela looks around the room. "I don't have a single problem with anyone in here."
* Angela 's eyes linger over Marcus for a moment, oddly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But you'll be working with people not in this room at times, too.
* Marcus` tilts his head, eyeing Angela.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just grumbles, his arms crossed.
<Angela> "Fine... the past is the past."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not saying be buddy buddy with one another, but think about what it was like under Warren or Darien. Did we all act like children then?
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Do we have to forgive everyone?"
<Megumi> <Lilith> This speech sounds vaguely familiar. Did the cat not...
* Angela has a familiar look in her eyes towards Marcus.
<Megumi> 6Lilith frowns suddenly. 1"Cat said it, could not have been important."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... shut it."
* Marcus` tilts his head back, glancing towards Katrina now.
<Megumi> 6Lilith just looks confused at Terra and goes back to watching Katrina.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Don't badmouth her like that."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *motions* Terra. Lilith.
<Megumi> <Lilith> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Comments like that lead to an unfriendly work place.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles in a scary way.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<Megumi> 6Lilith tilts her head, shivering, but doesn't understand what 'comment.'
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... point on the forgiveness. However, I'm not putting up with that sort of talk."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then please go, Terra.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina motions at the door.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *stands up and starts to leave*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't stop her.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin thoughtfully
<Megumi> <Lilith> Does she not stand in for the cat?
<Vyssa> <Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Now, the rest of you, if you think you can control your comments and overreactions... 6She taps Dias on the nose, and stands up. "I think we can do good."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "She's not 'the cat', and I'm out of here."
<Vyssa> <Terra> *walks out*
<Megumi> <Lilith> Understood.
* Angela looks right at Katrina.
* Dias eyes Kat and stands up, kickign the chair. He turns and moves into the kitchen.
<Angela> "Clean slate?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Clean slate.
<Angela> "Then I think we'll be fine."
<Megumi> <Chii> I find it hard to believe these people are capable of that.
<DeathStar> 6 Katrina points at Chii.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No negative comments.
* Angela looks over at Chii.
<Vyssa> "... this is going to be difficult."
<Angela> "She can't help it."
<Megumi> 6She seems to think about it. 1"However, the one who shot my sister is not present. Perhaps they are capable."
<Megumi> <Chii> "...That is a positive comment, correct?" 6Squint.
<Angela> "Yes."
<Marcus`> <Theron> It shall not be difficult. Simply keeps ill thoughts into your mind, instead of speaking them so carelessly.
<Megumi> 6Chii just frowns, and nods.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Theron's right.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Or leave it for private talk
* Angela rubs her head a little.
<Megumi> <Chii> I see. I am capable of that. Freyja did most of the talking.
<Angela> "I apologise... if I am ever rude from here on... my head is getting kinda... full."
<Vyssa> "Understood."
* Megumi is now known as Chii
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Cassandra's operation was a success, and in a bit more time, she will return to lead you.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Until then, you have to put up with me.
* Marcus` tilts his head back, eyeing Katrina. "And if, when Cass returns, we would prefer you as our leader?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *smiles* That's sweet.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But we'll see.
* Angela stands, adjusting the brace about her knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks toward the kitchen, waving at all of them. "No job today. you're all free to go."
* Chii crosses her arms. 1"Judging from the elf's memories, you are level-headed."
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once. "I will be with Myria if you need me." He moves for the door, stepping out.
* Chii twists her expression slightly. Dismissed, she again has nothing to do or anywhere to go. Looks at Drake.
* Angela heads towards the kitchen, nowhere to go and most of her stuff was destroyed in the apartment.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin.
<Ariel> 6* Em pauses, "Does no one uses the crazy crystal girl's name?"
<Chii> <Chii> ...Megumi?
* Marcus` slides himself to his feet, he moves towards the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans against a counter near Dias. "Talk to me. What's wrong?"
<Ariel> Em> "Well... guess so."
<Dias> Nothing, everythings peachy keen. 6He sits on a counter.
* Chii squints at Em. 1"Megumi Zhenmei, according to Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Be honest with me. I can read your emotional output.
<Chii> "Is the elf's name important, mindflicker?"
<Dias> ...How bout now? 6He looks at her.
* Marcus` silently digs in the fridge.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dias. 6She leans closer to him. "Talk to me. Please."
* Dias eyes Marcus and Angela.
* Angela heads to the fridge.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You two mind going so we can talk? 6She asks the two.
* Angela blinks and looks over at them, she quietly nods and heads back out.
<Ariel> Em> "...mindflicker? I'm more of a telepath, really."
<Dias> We need time to make out. 6He motions provocotavily
* Chii stares at Em. She knew well. Looks at Drake again.
* Myria has left #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stands up and stretches. "Laters."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks out.
* Marcus` leans out, eyeing Kat and Dias. "Oh, sorry, I was just grabbing some food." He holds up a sandwich and turns to move for the exit. "Come'on Angela." he makes her walk out, despite her injuries.
* Vyssa starts to research... just about anything and everything
* Angela has already left the room.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright, now talk to me. 6She peers at Dias.
* Chii is speechless.
<Chii> "...Well now what do I do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's powers get a little weaker as Drake goes.
<Marcus`> Watch the holo-vid. *he tells Chii, moving over to sit down in a chair*
* Angela watches marcus walk out of the kitchen, sitting on the couch.
<Dias> Why should I forgive them? The little brat blames me for her brothers death, who was trying to kill me and even went as far as bringing Aya into it.
* Chii looks furiously after Drake. Then blinks at Marcus. 1"...Holo...vid. The moving things?"
<Ariel> Em> "I'd say grab a beer and relax, but... well, the kitchen is occupied."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans her forehead against Dias'. "Because, a hero has to learn to see the better aspects of people, and to forgive them, in the hopes they better themselves."
* Marcus` reaches over and turns it on, showing her how to turn channels. He pauses and then tosses Angela half of the sandwich. "You're too thin. You need some meat."
* Angela catches it and bites into it.
<DeathStar> 6* A man walks into the HQ. "Is Angela Bennet here?"
* Dias laughs fakely. 1"Ha ha...You're just trying to screw with my pride."
* Angela looks up, sammich in her mouth, she waves.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But it's true. How can you be a hero if you won't see the good in others?
* Marcus` glances up at the man.
* Chii experiments with the remote, ears flicking once and she glances once at the newcomer.
<Dias> And what if there isn't any good in them? Then what?
<DeathStar> 6* The man pulls out a folder and holds it out. "Your guardian has signed all the legal documents and set up an apartment for you."
* Angela blinks and takes the folder, flipping it open, munching.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then you gotta be the better man, Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* It has all the legal documents signed, though her mysterious guardian's name isn't listed.
<Angela> "Ummm... who is my guardian?"
<Dias> Like you did, huh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey, if I can forgive Angela, you can forgive Raquel.
<DeathStar> <Man> I'm not sure. I'm sure he'll deem when it's necessary to reveal himself.
<Dias> I wasn't referring to Angela.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ho?
<DeathStar> 6* The man tips his hat, and steps out.
* Chii stops on a program in which many people are dying. Watches without any notion of enjoyment.
* Angela blinks and swallows a bite.
* Dias points at her.
<Marcus`> Lucky you. *he says from the side, gulping down his last bite*
<Chii> "...This reminds me of many of the people I have met lately, huh."
<Angela> "Well... if Darien helped me set it up it can't be that bad..."
* Vyssa glances over
* Angela takes another bite. "Least I don't have to worry about EarthGov trying to put me in the system or something."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Eh. *she waves her hand* I got the better boobs.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And she's too thin.
<Ariel> Em> "You... like this? Nickname girl?"
* Marcus` nods once. "All is well, then."
<Dias> I don't know, she had bigger boobs.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, then she should eat something.
* Chii 's ears flicker. She looks to Em. "Me?"
<Angela> "But I have no idea who to call now if I get in trouble. Oh well, I'm sure they'll mysteriously know who to call."
* Angela takes another bite. "This is a good sandwich, Marcus."
* Dias crosses his arms as he leans back, making odd faces as he things.
<Marcus`> It's only good because it's probably the first thing that you've ate in weeks.
<Ariel> Em> "Mmm."
* Chii peers back at the TV, then looks to Em.
<Chii> "...Not realy. I just know what's going on."
<Angela> "I always eat enou... I didn't eat... errr...."
<Angela> "Yeah, probably."
* Angela bites down again.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina punches his shoulder. "So we good?"
<Vyssa> "'What's going on' is a mess."
* Dias lets out a puff of air. 1"I really hate you sometimes."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *feigns hurt* Why?
* Marcus` pauses and glances around for Billy
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is gone.
* Chii kneels before the couch, leaning on a table with a scowl. She hands the remote to Marcus once more.
<Dias> You use big words and confuse me easily.
<Chii> "Here, you pick something."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's because I have a college diploma, which beats your G.E.D.
<Dias> A college diploma huh? 6He strokes his chin. 1"And how does one go through getting one of those, hmm?"
* Angela gives Marcus an odd grin, Sera's grin. "And yeah Marcus, she's in here... or rather I'm... oh you get the point."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure you'll figure it out.
* Marcus` frowns, glancing down at the remote. "..." he find a random action movie and tosses the remote back to Chii. He then looks to Angela. "I see...then will you be pointing a gun at me and threaten to shoot me?"
<Angela> "Clean slate."
* Angela munches more.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Erevis' Hoppin' Pad
* Vyssa is now known as Terra
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts some toys she bought for Aya in the guest room. She glances at the girl laying on the bed, watching.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is Warren. 6She motions at one in particular.
<DeathStar> 6* The lion glares.
* Dias steps in and kneels beside her. 1"If you need something Aya, just let me know, ok?"
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<Chii> 6Megumi smiles gently from the hallway, but never enters the room, thinking about the stuffed animals and their various expressions.
* Terra knocks on the door
<Chii> 6Megumi goes to answer the door so the other two can stay with Aya.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Kay.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is wearing gloved hands with a casual white shirt and jeans.
* Chii is now known as Megumi
<Megumi> "...Madame Terra?"
<Terra> "Hey.. how are you doing?"
<Megumi> "I believe you know me. A few days and I feel fine-- Although it will take some time longer before my full effectiveness returns."
* Terra nods, a little sadly. "Mind if I stop over for a while?"
<Megumi> "I... do not mind. Although I cannot feign I know what the other three think on this matter."
* Megumi looks down the hallway, head tilted slightly.
<Chad`Winters> And don't worry about your toys princess. I'll replace everything for you. 6He strokes her hair with his right hand.
<Terra> "I guess I'd have to ask."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Kay.
<Chad`Winters> You thirsty?
<DeathStar> <Aya> No.
<Terra> "Well, I'd have to come in to do so.."
* Megumi ponders for a moment, then steps aside with a soft nod, returning down the hallway a little, keeping her distance. It's a little awkward.
* Terra heads in, seeming a little self-concious. "Thanks..."
<Chad`Winters> I'm going to get something to drink sweety. If you need anything. 6He holds out a small button. 1"Just hit the button and I'll come, is that ok?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Kay.
<Terra> "... is something wrong?"
* Chad`Winters leans down and kisses Aya on the forehead. He stands up and moves out of the room, moving past Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him go, then bows to Aya, and walks out
* Megumi utters quietly to Terra. 1"Little Aya is not how I imagined her."6 She glances to Chad and Erevis as they enter the hallway.
<Terra> "How did you imagine her?"
* Terra glances over now
* Chad`Winters moves into the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves into her bedroom
* Terra goes to say something, then stops
<Megumi> "More lively... I think." 6Slowly follows Erevis.
* Terra follows
* Megumi blinks over her shoulder at Terra following them to ..the bedroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes the bedroom door after she enters.
* Terra pauses, then knocks then
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wish to be alone. 6She states through the closed door
<Terra> "Mmm. Understood."
* Chad`Winters grabs a glass and moves to the sink and fills it with water. He drinks it then rubs the bridge of his nose.
* Megumi looks slightly depressed, but makes for the kitchen, examining what Chad is up to before attempting tea.

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071016.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.11.4
<DeathStar> Location: Erevis' Hoppin' Pad
* Megumi attends the kettle until the whistle calls for it boiling and pours the freshly steaming water over leaves, waiting for them to simmer.
<Terra> "I hope she didn't mean that I should leave the house.."
<Megumi> "She is alone in the bedroom." 6Slightly bitter.
* Chad`Winters eyes the two and fills his glass back up. He moves to go into the backyard.
<Terra> "... yes." 6* She doesn't know how else to answer that.
* Megumi looks hesitantly after Chad, since that was where she planned on going.
<Terra> "... Chad?"
* Chad`Winters shuts the door behind him either not hearing or choosing to ignore her.
<Terra> "... so much for that question."
<Terra> "... well, until I get an actual no, I'm staying here I guess."
* Megumi frowns slightly, irritance showing. As of late, a lot of her expressions have returned, even if she is still less than openly vocal. She carries the kettle and opens the door to the backyard.
* Terra frowns slightly herself, worried
* Chad`Winters leans over something as he stares off into the distance, the glass of water in his hands
* Megumi stares for a moment, then lifts the kettle, pouring a small amount of tea into her mouth, despite the temperature still being rather unbearable. Swallowing, she glances at Terra. 1"Such are things. I was going to practice."
<Terra> "... if you're being mistreated, you'll tell me, right?"
<Megumi> "I am not being mistreated."
* Terra nods
<Terra> "That's a relief."
* Megumi moves away from the house enough after setting the kettle on the porch. She holds out her hand and forms a pillar of crystal rather than a spire.
* Terra sighs a little
* Terra sits, thinking about how difficult it is when you have no idea what to do
* Chad`Winters eyes his glass of water.
<Megumi> "Madame Terra, why is it that even someone like me persists in learning to fight better? It seemed to be a human trait, I thought, yet I do it as well."
* Megumi holds her hands up, fists raised as if boxing, but then relaxes and holds one arm out, keeping one close, palms open.
<Terra> "Sounds like you just want to improve yourself."
<Megumi> "There are many ways to do that, least of all which involve fighting..."
<Terra> "Well, yes, but are you comfortable with any of them?"
<Megumi> "Cooking seems fine. What I read on engineering is handy... Healing people seems useful."
<Terra> "Well, I'm not sure then."
<Megumi> "...Hm."
* Megumi shifts her feet and slams her palm into the crystal. It cracks at the center, spiraling the crevasse rather than an impact fracture. She seems discontent and repairs it, facing it again.
<Terra> "I wish I could do things like that."
<Megumi> "You could."
<Terra> "Really?"
* Megumi ponders, and opposes her palms at her waist, shifting them forward and striking like Erevis. Parts of the crystal dissolve, while some are unaffected whatsoever.
* Megumi repairs the spire a second time and retrieves another drink of tea. 1"If you wanted to, you would find a way."
<Terra> "Creating crystals or healing people seems to be beyond me."
<Megumi> "Earth technology is very advanced. Perhaps the means might be different."
