* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071028.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 day again later 12.2 now, I think
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands in front of a mirror in the hospital, getting discharged. He adjusts his military uniform so it looks spotless.
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
* Kit is now known as Chii
* Cassandra` opens the door to Warren's room, leaning against the door frame.
* Angela|EvilThings is now known as Jennifer
* Jennifer is now known as Jennifer`
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to glance at Cassandra. "Arakawa." 6* He nods his head.
<Cassandra`> You can call me Cassandra, you know.
* Jennifer` is standing near Warren, in civilian clothes, plain and very unusual looking.
<Chii> 6Megumi merely left a challenge letter demanding a rematch for Warren. Never sure if Zephyr would show up or something.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren adjusts the cuffs of his sleeves, turning to face Cassandra fully. "I could."
* Jennifer` smiles a little, Warren won't.
<Cassandra`> But you won't, right?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Correct.
<Cassandra`> Whatever works for you.
<Chii> 6Megumi herself, on the other hand, sits crosslegged in front of the door to Erevis' house, twitching slightly as she endures the breeze on the porch.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren picks up a cane and leans on it. That probably brings back memories. "How goes your unit's operations?"
<Chii> 6Lilith makes her usual over-cooked food and makes rounds between Raquel's room and the kitchen and the closets for various utensils, sighing at the state of the living room.
<Cassandra`> Beats me, I've been in here.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren appraises Cassandra's body. "New model?"
* Chii sits up quickly, glancing around as if she's under attack, then lowers her head slightly and breathes a deep sigh.
<Cassandra`> More or less.
* Jennifer` looks over Cassandra curiously!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shifts to lean on his cane. "You ever consider getting back into the military?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is fast asleep
<Cassandra`> I've thought about it...hoenstly...that group was hard to keep under control...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, sitting on the edge of the bed. "I've been monitoring your work. Johnson really has a thing out for you."
<Ilya> Setsuna> "...control? WHAT control?"
<Jennifer`> "From what I saw they're a bunch of red herrings... kinda crazy."
<Cassandra`> Exactly...my people are not military material.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And most of them use to be in the military. 6* He considers the irony.
<Cassandra`> Setsuna...are we ready to move back into the house?
* Chii studies Katrina intently, tracing her finger along Katrina's arm, then sits up and stretches widely. 1"...Ahhn..."
<Jennifer`> "Who trained them?"
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Honestly... I'm just hoping the house is in one piece."
<Cassandra`> That's the issue...little formal training/ They're all classed as civs now, so can't enforce PT or anything.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "We at least need a mercenary license for them... and someone big and intimidating to inspire discipline."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps the cane on the floor. "Well, with Katrina McCormick running it, and being part of the military, you temporarily have a military protection in place. But sooner or later, the control will need to revert back to a civilian."
<Dias> 6A woman steps in standing, 5'8" with brown hair and blonde high lights. She eyes the new people in the room.
<Cassandra`> Kidnd of the catch 22 that comes with needing plausible deniability...
* Jennifer` stands next to Warren and looks up at them all, being 14 and short for her age.
<Jennifer`> "So how about a civilian who's contracted by the Military directly?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> The military wouldn't want their hands on that team.
* Jennifer` nods her agreement, "....Yeah."
<Dias> 6The woman moves over to Warren and holds out a cup of coffee.
* Jennifer` smiles at the woman and bounces her heels a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes the coffee. "Thank you." 6* He sips the coffee. "Tell me, Arakawa, do you find the unit a vital part of protecting Earth? With the war going on, you could be assigned any job you wanted."
<Cassandra`> I know...I know...but there's some stuff that's been crawling out from the cracks of reality since the battle of Centerpoint...and no one wants to admit that its happening officially.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Vampires and werewolves being real? No government would confess to that.
* Jennifer` fidgets nervously when they start talking about cracks in realities.
<Cassandra`> Exactly.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "We're fighting an enemy that uses the souls of the dead to take on their memories, forms, and powers. How the hell is a werewolf worse than that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes another sip of the coffee. "I'm afraid that there's worse things coming than ghosts, though. The Dark Ones are becoming more bold in their moves." 6* He motions out the window where parts of Tokyo are being repaired still. "With the Tsivrixsh/Earth War going on, I feel it's only a matter of months before they actually launch a fleet."
<Dias> <Girl> And the damage they can do with just one of them is devasting enough.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. And our fleet is already tied up completely with the war.
* Jennifer` just listens, a lot of this is new to her.
<Dias> <Girl> It'd be great if we knew where they were holding up. We could launch a surgical strike and take them out now.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I doubt they have one point. Their homeworld only slowed them down.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Do we HAVE the firepower to take them out?"
<Chii> 6A figure creeps up behind Setsuna.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Dias> <Girl> We don't even know how many of them they're are.
<Dias> NRP: there.
<Jennifer`> "So we have little choice but to wait for them to make the move? Hasn't anyone been trying to counter this directly?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> All the galactic powers are in disarray right now.
<Cassandra`> Exactly...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Plus, since no one has been offically attacked, they don't really care.
<Chii> 6The figure taps Setsuna on the shoulder. 1"Ano.."
<Ilya> Setsuna> *glances back* "Yeah?"
<Jennifer`> "I really wound up in a crazy place..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren twirls the cane. "Well, give it consideration, Arakawa. I'll keep doing what I can for your unit."
<Dias> <Girl> And if you factor in the reality that they can assume the body and memories of anyone they kill, it puts them in great positions to keep it all that way.
<Chii> 6Lilith stands there, waving one hand lightly at Setsuna, the other holding a basket of various fruits. 1"Ohayou."
<Cassandra`> Thanks...
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Hey, Dog-girl." *pauses* "...you seem unusually cheerful."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up, finishing the coffee, and tossing the cup into the trashcan. "So, how'd you afford the new body?"
<Chii> <Lilith> Do I?
<Chii> 6Lilith peers down at herself and shrugs her shoulders lightly. 1"Well, our adoptees are out of the hospital, that should afford some happiness, right?"
<Chii> 6Lilith is still dressed like a maid.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy steps up beside Lilith, dressed like mini-maid.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I bring alcohol!
<Dias> 6The frond door to Erevis' pad opens and Chad Winters stands there, staring down at Megumi. 1"I know I suggested Erevis get a new door mat..."
<Chii> 6Lilith smiles slightly, then looks to Setsuna with a bit of a 'help me' look.
<Cassandra`> I still have a few connections.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Did you offer Darien sexual favors for a new body?
<Dias> <Girl> Another one of your kids Warren? 6She motions to Billy
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wouldn't claim that one. She's pure evil.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy drinks from a flask she brought.
<Chii> <Lilith> So this is the fabled Karumaikurusan?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Carmichael.
<Dias> <Girl> You sure she's not yours? 6She motions to Billy now drinking.
<Chii> <Lilith> Hai. Karumaikurusan.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Carmichael.
<Chii> 6Lilith tilts her head questioningly at Warren. 1"That is what I said..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright, Lily.
<Chii> <Lilith> You know my name?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just gives her a Warren look.
<Chii> 6Lilith looks slightly disturbed, but smiles. 1"Hajimemashite, Karumaikurusan."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Cassandra`> ...what type of woman do you think I am? *crosses her arms*
<Chii> <Lilith> We have not met, but it seems you have preceded your reputation for resourcefulness."
* Jennifer` sighs and crosses her arms, watching.
<Dias> 6Chad Winters stares at the catatonic Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up one finger to Lilith, then looks at Cassandra. "Do you really want an answer?" 6* He goes back to Lilith, holding up one finger to Cass now. "I like to remain informed."
<Chii> 6Megumi finally stands, brushes herself off, and enters the house beneath Chad's arm, completely ignoring the comment.
<Chii> <Lilith> Mh, it is a wise course of choice.
<Chii> 6Lilith smiles broadly. 1"You would have prospered in my time."
<Cassandra`> ...oi...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks in, dressed professionally in her uniform, her long hair done in a professional bundle. "You're having a party, Warren? And the little kid is drunk. It must be a celebration. Need some pain pills?"
<Ilya> Setsuna> "...okay. Emo dog-girl has gotten all cheery and councey. This is starting to creep me out."
<Cassandra`> Setsuna, wanna head out?
<Dias> 6Chad watches her rudely enter and rolls his eyes as he shuts the door and steps back in.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy falls over face first, drunk.
<Chii> 6Lilith blinks. 1"Imo..? I was imo?"
<Chii> <Lilith> Ah! Biiriisan!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...Setsuna...is Billy drunk...?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pokes Billy with his cane.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "...looks it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You two lovely moms sure know how to raise them.
<Chii> 6Lilith turns quickly to Warren, her expression sour and eyes narrowed. Akin to the old Lilith Setsuna met. 1"Do not do that."
<Dias> <Girl> Oh, she's there kid? 6She points at Sets and Cass.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm testing her.
<Jennifer`> "I believe so."
<Chii> 6Then Lilith turns back to Billy, shaking her lightly in the other tone of voice. 1"Shimpai shinaide! Hold on! Wake up, Biiriisan!"
<Dias> <Girl> Well atleast she's in a great place to get alcohol poisoning.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Well, I suppose she needed to learn the wonders of alcohol some time."
* Cassandra` moves over to confiscate the Billy-Booze
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll pretend I didn't hear that coming from the mother of a five year old.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a flask of Billy's and drinks it right there.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy giggles every time she's poked.
<Cassandra`> Not on my watch, Setsuna...
* Jennifer` watches Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems to find it relaxing.
<Chii> <Lilith> Where I am from, children were served in moderation to build tolerance.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Fine... but next time, I get to do the confiscating."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was totally raised on moderation.
<Chii> <Megumi> Eh... So how have things been?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rolls his eyes and steps out. Moderation being 5 rocket drinks, then 10.
* Jennifer` follows after Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows after them, tucking the flask away in her uniform top.
<Chii> <Lilith> Karumaikurusan?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to glance at Lilith.
<Chii> 6Lilith sends her foot for Warren's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren blocks with his cane.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes.
* Jennifer` hops out, adding to Warren's counter by palm-thrusting Lilith away.
* Cassandra` picks up Billy.
<Cassandra`> Let's head on home.
<Dias> 6The girl, moves out with Warren, she pulls her pistol out of her hoslter and jerks it up, aiming it for her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren smiles suddenly. "Nice." 6* He says, approvingly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws up her hands.
<Chii> <Lilith> Interesting. 1Her eyes narrowed, as she's struck by Jennifer, she staggers back, changing tones of voice again and her expression falters into something timid, exclaiming. 1"Ee! Do not hurt me.."
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Hey, ease up on my dog, will ya?"
* Jennifer` stands in a defensive stance in front of Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren uses his cane to push Jennifer aside.
* Jennifer` eeps and gets scooched aside.
<Dias> 6The girl sighs and smacks Jennifer. 1"Didn't you pay attention when I taught you?!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> She had no killing intent in her blow.
<Chii> 6Lilith rubs her head bashfully. 1"So you knew..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> But who would hit a cripple? I mean, really. 6* Warren makes a face and walks on.
<Chii> 6Lilith looks like her dog just died. Cough.
<Chii> <Lilith> Oh my, he is exactly as I heard.
* Jennifer` rubs her head. "What'd I do now?"
<Dias> <Girl> Your stance was wrong...You have no talent. 6She sighs, throwing her hands up, she walks off with Warren
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think he likes you. 6* She eyes Lilith, then walks on.
* Jennifer` walks with her. "I didn't have time!"
<Chii> 6Lilith turns, her cheerier side handing Setsuna the basket. On a second look, it might be apparent that she's glaring toward Warren with the look of a batted off rival. Then she softens, staggering back from Cheryl. 1"N-nani!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hits the elevator button with his cane, ignoring the two girls.
<Dias> 6Chad glances down as he moves by her, apparently not noticing her. 1"I'm sorry, what?"
<Ilya> Setsuna> *laughs a little, and pats Lilith on the head*
<Dias> 6The girl steps on the elevator. 1"I keep telling you Warren, you can't train the untrainable."
<Jennifer`> "Hey I'm improving!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps onto the elevator, pretending not to hear anything. Cheryl steps on, drinking from the flask.
<Chii> 6Lilith grins, wagging her tail. 1"Omedetou on being released. Will you be stopping by to see everyone, or heading straight home? I came to greet..."
* Jennifer` steos on with her.
<Dias> <Girl> No your not.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy barfs on the floor.
<Chii> <Lilith> Ano... And Biiriisan followed.."
<Cassandra`> ...Setsuna...gets the car ready...we need to get her home and detoxed...
<Chii> <Megumi> How are things here? You know, is Little Aya fine, are you still being a prick, the likes?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sneaks out of Erevis' room.
* Jennifer` sighs and hangs her head.
<Chii> <Lilith> Lemon juice is a good detoxifier...
<Ilya> Setsuna> "...right. Sure it's not better to do it here? Hospital and all?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out on the roof - like Batman who's elevator goes higher than anyone elses'.
<Dias> <Chad> Aya's off to college now, boy do kids grow up fast in two days.
<Chii> 6Lilith tends to turning Billy over and cleaning up her face, since the two are debating what to do.
<Cassandra`> ...yeah...good point...come on... *starts heading for the nurse's station*
<Chii> 6Megumi smiles slightly. 1"Mm, sounds like things are normal, then."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy makes whoo sounds.
<Dias> <Chad> You've been gone two days. 6He just moves into the kitchen.
<Chii> 6Lilith picks Billy up, holding her away at arm's length, as if carrying a biological weapon.
* Jennifer` steps out after him, fixing her jacket against the chill air.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there on the roof, looking unbothered. Cheryl sits on the edge of the roof.
<Ilya> Setsuna> *follows at a safe distance*
<Chii> <Megumi> So naturally things would be fine, huh? Only I am a disrupting presence, after all. No one else here causes waves.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sneaks into the kitchen, carrying a pillow.
<Dias> <Chad> Have a 3 year old once. 6He opens the fridge and a bottle of water out and opens it, taking a drink.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at Megumi, then the pillow she stole. She frowns.
<Dias> <Chad> On second thought, don't and save us all some trouble.
* Jennifer` follows the path of Warren's gaze.
<Chii> 6Megumi moves inward and sets the painting by the inside wall, then she turns and smiles at Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer looks into the sun.
<Chii> <Megumi> I would not worry, Mister Winters. My love is biologically unforthcoming.
<Dias> <Chad> Uh huh. 6He stands there reading the back of a label.
<DeathStar> 6* Nurses peer up as the group arrives. "What's wrong?'
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sadly takes the pillow back to Erevis' room
<Dias> The girl moves over and plops down beside Cheryl.
<Chii> <Megumi> Though I should point out that if I had a child it would not have my mental instabilities since they were caused after my birth.
<Chii> 6Megumi follows Aya curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya tosses the pillow onto the unused bed.
<Jennifer`> "Funny thing... before now I've never been to Earth."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now that's crazy.
<Chii> 6Lilith holds Billy outward at the nurse.
<DeathStar> <Nurse> Is the poor dear sick?
<Chii> 6Lilith just nods.
<Jennifer`> "The colonies were safe in my reality... ...Dad never saw a reason to take me down."
<DeathStar> <Warren> What a dweeb.
* Xan|Moooovie is now known as Marcus`
<Chii> <Megumi> Little Aya, have you been sleeping here?
* Jennifer` smiles softly.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I was taking the pillow 'cause you and Miss Erevis have been gone.
<Chii> <Megumi> Erevis... left again?
<DeathStar> 6* The nurse takes Billy to check on her condition
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
<Dias> 6The girl points out at something, her legs bouncing against the roof side.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...Where did she go?
<Jennifer`> "If your time theories right... he's long gone now."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to peer.
<Dias> 6A bird flies by.
<Chii> 6Megumi frowns slightly. 1"Did she say anything?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shakes her head.
* Jennifer` is just looking at the Sun, really looking at it from this view for the first time.
<Dias> 6The sun burns her eyes, I mean seriously, who looks at the sun?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind did.
<Dias> 6Wind was a GOD.
<Chii> 6Megumi kneels down, holding her arms out to Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, staring at Megumi for a trap.
* Jennifer` looks down, rubbing her eyes.
<Chii> <Megumi> Oh come now. You are no pupil of mine..
<DeathStar> 6* Aya waddles forward
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up as a military shuttle decloaks and descends.l
<DeathStar> <Warren> Jennifer, I've decided you should hang out with Cassandra's team. 6* He pulls out a piece of paper, holding it out. "Get some more screen time."
<Dias> 6The girl stands up and looks at the shuttle. 1"You should get one in pink."
* Jennifer` blinks and looks at it, taking teh paper. "Screen time...?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Socializing. Interaction. That sort of thing
<DeathStar> 6* The paper has an address
<DeathStar> 6* A doctor approaches the women in the hospital. "Your daughter was drunk. I think someone should start explaining."
<Jennifer`> "Alright... umm... I can call right?"
<Chii> <Lilith> Explain what?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yeah. Nat, give her your phone number.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> How a five year old got drunk.
<Cassandra`> We were both recent patients.
<Cassandra`> I was just released today.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> So the babysitter did? 6* He eyes Lilith
<Chii> <Lilith> I am not a babysitter, I am an inugami.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> ... *crosses his arms* I'm not returning your daughter until I get some explanations.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "...apparently, we need a new babysitter."
<Cassandra`> Setsuna, any idea where Billy was staying?
* Jennifer` stands there waiting, the look on her face says she sees this as a mission.
<Chii> <Lilith> She made a gift basket without asking, and then began drinking here in the lobby.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If anyone gives you lip, go bother Katrina McCormick. Say I sent you.
<Cassandra`> Where did she get the alcohol then?
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors nod. "I'm calling the cops. None of you go anywhere."
<Chii> <Lilith> None of your attendents in Karumaikurusan's area stopped her, I assumed you had no problem with it.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor walks off.
<Jennifer`> "Yes sir."
<Ilya> Setsuna> "......"
<Cassandra`> ...nice...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps onto the shuttle.
<Chii> 6Lilith peers at the two questioningly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets on next.
<Jennifer`> "Oh and Warren?"
<Chii> <Lilith> Cops? Am I going to jail again?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances back
<Dias> 6The Girl moves to step on the shuttle
<Jennifer`> "That Bennet girl keeps asking me questions... just ignore her right?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I do.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "If you do, sue. They have no reason to hold you."
* Jennifer` nods.
<Chii> <Lilith> That did not stop them from caging the entire headquarters assembly on suspicion of Dias' activities.
<Cassandra`> I know...
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor finishes calling the cops. Time's ticking.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hugs Megumi
<Cassandra`> ...well...Setsuna, my love...what shall we do?
<Chii> 6Megumi gathers Aya up and moves back to the kitchen. 1"Mister Winters, where did Erevis go this time?"
<Ilya> Setsuna> "I can't believe Marcus let her into the alcohol. What was he thinking?"
<Dias> 6Chad eyes Megumi holding his daughter captive. 1"Out."
<Chii> <Megumi> I gathered that much on my own.
* Marcus` steps into his room, moving over to a dresser to begin changing clothes again.
<Cassandra`> ...wait...she was staying with Dias and Marcus all this time?
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus' door is locked.
* Chii peers at Marcus. 1"Hmm..."
* Marcus` pauses and knocks on his door.
<Chii> <Lilith> Hai. She has been at the headquarters, save for the occasional outing.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens her eyes at the sound of knocking
<Chii> <Lilith> Usually unattended, sometimes taking ojousama and myself as 'minions.'
<DeathStar> 6* Billy suddenly runs by as doctors chase her. Seems she's ready to make a break.
* Chii glances at Katrina. 1"Ohayou. Someone wants in, likely the owner."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Make him go away.
<Cassandra`> Well...looks like she's made her move.
<Chii> <Lilith> Biiriisan! Where are you going!?
<Ilya> Setsuna> *darts after Billy, after 'failing' to grab her as she runs by* "Billy! Come back here this instant!"
* Cassandra` starts the chase!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy takes the stairs.
<Cassandra`> NRP: cue Benny Hill Chase music.
<Jennifer`> * Angela can be heard in the training room, something seems to be making LOUD stomping noises in there.
<Dias> <Chad> Than you're as well informed as I am. 6He tosses the plastic bottle away
<Chii> 6Lilith keeps her hands folded pollitely but follows, occasionally stopping to apologise to different staff members.
<Chii> <Megumi> Back to square one...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leaps down the stairs and heads out the first floor doors. She peers at the traffic.
<Chii> <Chii> Marcus! Katrina says to go away!
<Marcus`> I just want clothes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Tell him he doesn't need clothes.
<Marcus`> I'm naked.
<Chii> 6Marcus' door opens after a few moments of silence. Chii stands there holding a random ensemble.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy steals mopad and drives away
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors stare in confusion
<Chii> <Lilith> Oh dear. Should I stop her?
* Marcus` eyes the clothes, then takes them, sliding them on. "Don't remember how I got naked, but eh, go figure." He eyes the shirt, slightly too small on him, and the tan shorts, something he normally doesn't wear. "...wow I feel lame." he shrugs and walks off.
<Cassandra`> ...she just boosted a mopad...
<Jennifer`> * The places shakes a little after anotehr loud stomp from the training area.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes the place shaking, and begins to get dressed
<Ilya> Setsuna> "...if you can catch her, make sure she doesn't get into trouble."
<Chii> 6Lilith holds out her hand, attempting to lift the moped off the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy goes flying off
<Chii> <Lilith> Oops..
<Cassandra`> Billy! *run run runs!*
<Ilya> 6* Setsuna cringes. That's why she didn't say to stop her.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lands in the middle of traffic.
<Chii> 6Lilith carefully sets the moped on the sidewalk and begins floating after Cassandra.
<Ilya> 6* Setsuna runs as fast as she can to make sure Billy is alright.
<Chii> 6Lilith, if necessary, begins stopping cars from hitting her.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands up and dusts off her skirt as cars head towards her, not noticing them stopping
* Marcus` emerges from the hall into the.....MAIN ROOM. He plops down on the couch and begins to watch the holovid.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pulls on her top and steps out, heading for the source of the stomping.
<Chii> Surely that noise cannot all be from Angela.
<Dias> 6Dias looks over at Marcus. 1"Ho."
* Chii follows after Katrina, frowning.
<Marcus`> Bag. *he points to the holovid* What're we watching?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy notices a penny and picks it up, still not noticing cars.
<Dias> <Dias> Ho's. 6He motions. 1"So were they diking out in your room again?
<Marcus`> Yep. *he glances down at a cooler and pulls up a beer, popping it open and taking a swig* It's lost the cool factor.
* Chii lacks her hair ribbons and petticoat, but she does still have her dress on, since the coresette is a pain.
<Jennifer`> * There's a loud banging and the sound of steel hitting steel from the training room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the training room
* Chii follows her, yawning behind her hand sleepily.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy steps back onto the sidewalk, oblivious.
<Chii> <Lilith> The people seem unhappy I have stopped their vehicles.
<Chii> 6* Megumi sets Aya down softly. 1"Hmm... Well, I suppose I must leave again, then."
<Dias> <Chad> Tell her we say hi if you see her. 6He plops down in a chair and pulls out his datapad.
<Chii> 6Megumi nods and smiles softly. 1"I will. Do you need anything while we are out?"
<Jennifer`> * Angela hits the floor, skidding a little, a large red Beta standing in the room, it turns it's head towards Katrina.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I want that thing out!
<Chii> <Chii> Mm, it looks familiar...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks around, then begins to sneak off.
<Jennifer`> * ANgela doesn't seem to hear as she goes back at it, Montana deflects her first two strikes and grabs her, tossing her back.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands behind Katrina. "It looks evil. Should I kill it?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Angela!
<Chii> Oh right. It is from Angela's memories.
<Jennifer`> * Angela blinks, standing up and shaking her head, calming a bit. "Mmm?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Get that thing out of the building.
<Dias> <Chad> A new scissors. Apparently Erevis grabbed one when she left before. I think she planned on cutting her hair. Oh and a box of condoms and some smokes.
* Cassandra` scopps up Billy!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy squirms. "Kidnapper!"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Montana... stance calm."
<Jennifer`> * The Red Beta seems to shut down.
<Cassandra`> I'm your mother!
<Jennifer`> Angela> "It's heloing me train."
<Marcus`> *Theron, apparently sad, dissappears.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at Cassandra. "You could be a Dark One."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then do it outside.
<Cassandra`> ...so could you...
<DeathStar> <Billy> I am evil.
<Chii> <Chii> Have you moved on to weapon's training?
* Marcus` takes another swig of his beer.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I could recalibrate the stabilizers to make it run quiet."
<Dias> where'd you get that beer?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Outside! I don't want some freak accident occurring.
<Ilya> Setsuna> *looks at Cass, notibly more tired than the cyborg* "...what do you mean, 'could'?"
<Chii> 6Megumi nods. 1"I will take it into consideration, Mister Winters..."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I'm presently on kendo, yes Chii."
<Chii> 6Megumi waves to Aya, and begins to leave again.
<Cassandra`> We're heading home...
<Marcus`> There's a cooler here. *he points to the one beside the couch*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya waves.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Montana's perfectly safe..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms. "Are you going to argue with me?"
* Dias leans over and grabs one, cracking it open. He takes a deep pull. 1"WOOO"
<Marcus`> FIRE HER! *he calls out*
<Jennifer`> Montana> "I assure you, I am safe Missssss Katrina McCormick."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "No Ma'am."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Outside then.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Montana... quiet."
<Marcus`> I wonder who's beer this is. *he mumbles, taking another sip*
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Yes Ma'am."
<Chii> <Chii> You had a shuttle, did you not? I am sure the shrine on Fuji is clear now.
<Chii> You could always take 'Montana' there and train in peace without worry of breaking anything.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I'll have him go there... Montana, move to resting location two."
<Jennifer`> * Montana stands up, looks at the cieling... and vanishes.
<Chii> Whenever you're interested in weapon's training here... I can help when I'm free. I said I'd spar you with iaido, didn't I?
<Dias> Does it matter? 6He emptys and crushes the can, throwing it behind them
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wiggles
* Marcus` shrugs, tossing back the empty can and then handing Dias another one. Getting one for himself.
<Cassandra`> Setsuna, is the car ready?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Can I have sex with Marcus?
* Dias cracks it open and drinks it.
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...
<Chii> 6Lilith blinks at Cassandra and Billy.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Yeah, I'll g-........."
<DeathStar> <Billy> He said would have sex with me.
* Marcus` cracks his open and tosses it back.
<Chii> <Lilith> Setsunasama, please show me where the vehicle is...
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Alright, this way puppy." *lets Cass deal with THIS issue*
<Chii> 6Lilith quickly follows, escaping the engagement zone.
<Cassandra`> ...you're too young for Marcus...
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I'd be happy to train with you."
<DeathStar> <Billy> I could be thousands of years old!
<Chii> 6Megumi sighs on Erevis' porch, then heads for the park to look for her.
<Cassandra`> Or you could be five years old.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Since you have no proof, I think I'll boink him.
<Cassandra`> I'll snipe him before that happens...
<DeathStar> <Billy> He's already seen me naked. He took pictures.
* Dias belches and throws the can behind him again. He grabs another and cracks it open
<Cassandra`> WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy nods.
<Marcus`> Oh my god I have a headache. I woke up this morning naked on the sidewalk out there. Did you get me drunk or something?
* Chii looks around a bit, at Katrina, then around the room again.
<Chii> Well, I don't have a weapon...
* Cassandra` walks toward the car, plotting urder...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over and points at some training weapons
<DeathStar> <Katrina> PIck one.
<Dias> No, but I filled all your socks with yogourt.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy swishes back and forth as she's carried. "He said he loves my 18 year old form."
<Chii> I don't think I could form mine from darkness without my soul...
<Marcus`> Good thing I can't get into my room.
* Cassandra` twitch...
* Chii gazes across the racks, finally picking picking two relatively short bokuto, probably intended as curved shortswords rather than long.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves at Setsuna.
<Dias> You should really let me set those security cameras in your room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out to get some food.
<Marcus`> No, because when I have sex with your girlfriend, I don't want you to find out and get mad.
* Dias tosses the empty behind him as Kat walks by.
<Dias> Hah, good luck with that. 6He snorts.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "Finish your talk?"
* Marcus` shrugs, glancing at Kat, then looking back to the holo-vid. "You two broke up, right?"
<Jennifer`> * Angela raises an eyebrow, looking over a bokkudo.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Broke up?
<Marcus`> You and Chii. You're broke up finally, right?
<Cassandra`> ...Setsuna...wetwork...Marcus.. *climbs into the car*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We were never together in that way.
<Dias> Told you Marcus. She's not the kind of girl who likes things tieing her down.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "...alright."
<Marcus`> I wonder if Chii knows.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Since I'm like, totally a virgin, Marcus should like that even better, right?
<Dias> I bet she wouldn't care...wait. Isn't she a minor. 6He suddenly looks back at Kat nooding with approval. 1"Living the dream."
* Jennifer` knocks on the front door of the HQ.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dias, go get that for me. 6* She steps into the kitchen
<Chii> 6Megumi checks the pond after the park.
<Dias> But mom...6He sighs and grabs a beer, moving to the front door.
<Chii> 6Lilith naps in the back of the car, leaned against the window
* Chii holds up both nin-tachi blade end down in her hands, then pauses a moment peering at Angela.
<Chii> Eh, I said I would counter with iado, didn't I?
<Cassandra`> ...see what I mean...?
* Dias opens the door, holding a beer in his hand. 1"..." 6He looks back towards Marcus. 1"Did you order a mail order bride, Marcus?"
<Marcus`> How old is she?
* Dias looks back at the girl. 1"How old are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* A cloaked figure seems to be meditating on the ice
* Jennifer` sighs. "Fourteen... I'm here because Warren sent me."
* Dias looks back inside. 1"She's 14. Apparently Warren sent her. I thought he hated you."
<DeathStar> 6* The lesbians and their dog reach the house, whcih has been repaired.
<Marcus`> Maybe he thought this would get me away from Angela? *he shrugs* Tell her to come on in and sit on Papa's lap.
<Ilya> Setsuna> "...is it just me, or does this place look better than we last saw it?"
<Chii> 6* Megumi walks slowly down to the pond's edge. 1"Erevis?"
* Dias looks back at Jennifer. 1"Come on in. Papa's on the couch, he says you can start by sitting on ihs lap right away."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am busy.'
<Chii> <Megumi> With what?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not respond
<Cassandra`> Definite improvement.
<Chii> 6Megumi sighs slightly. 1"Look, I have some questions for you, Erevis. If you are busy with something important, you know well I would not disturb you, so if that is the case, just tell me and I will wait right here until you finish."
* Jennifer` pulls out a gun.
<Jennifer`> "And who is 'Papa'?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis still says nothing.
<Dias> Ooh, pistol whipping. He'll like that. 6He points at Marcus
<DeathStar> <Billy> I miss the HQ. Can I go back there?
<Jennifer`> She's Warren's kid, shooting Marcus just makes logical sense.
<Jennifer`> nrp:
<Chii> 6* Lilith rubs her eyes and sits up. 1"...Eh, where are we?"
<Jennifer`> NRP: Wow.
<Ilya> * Setsuna considers
* Jennifer` sighs and steps inside. "Who is in charge?"
* Chii is now known as Megumi
* Marcus` just motions towards the kitchen, drinking his beer.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out, eating her sandwich. "What's this?"
* Dias belches as he looks at Jennifer's back side.
<Marcus`> That's Warren's kid from another reality. *he points*
<Megumi> <Megumi> I will assume it is not that important than.
* Megumi steps out onto the ice, slowly at first, adjusting, then more assuredly takes her steps.
<Jennifer`> "...Ummm... yeah... Jennifer Carmichael. I was sent by Warren to help out with this unit."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Huh?
<Jennifer`> "...I was told to spend time with this team."
<Dias> You're kinda young for a stripper.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, no, no, no. You're way too young.
<Jennifer`> "Dad told me to."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dad? Who is your dad?
<Dias> Really? There's an age limit?!
<Jennifer`> "...Warren Carmichael."
<Dias> I better tell Spirit that so she can leave.
<Marcus`> Tooold you. *he whistles casually, watching TV*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Riiiight. 6* She puts her hands together.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Whatever. I don't care anymroe.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just throws up her hands and goes to change Marcus' sheets.
<Jennifer`> "Ummm... alright... he told me to tell you he sent me..."
<Marcus`> Thank you! *he calls back to Katrina*
* Jennifer` looks about and sighs.
<Marcus`> Pop a squat darlin, have a beer. *he pats beside himself*
<Dias> There's a 50 credit fee if you want to stay here.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I better see your money, then, Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* She calls from the bedroom
<Dias> Did I say 50, I meant 100. 6He holds his hand out.
<Megumi> 6Chii sets the two short bokuto crisscrossed in the back laces of her corsette and walks over, grabbing a katana-sized one. She moves it to set at her hip as per having a sheath and steps toward Angela, bending her knees and standing low.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't react still
<Megumi> <Megumi> Alright, Erevis. What do you think of me?
<Jennifer`> "You can extract any fees nessecary from Warren."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not answering questions. Please leave me alone.
<Dias> I'm bette off chewing nails. 6He sighs and finishes his beer, tossing it to the side. He leans down and grabs a beer, handing it to Jennifer. He then grabs one for himself.
<Megumi> Alone is exactly how I do not wish to leave you. What can I do to make things up to you?
* Jennifer` looks at it. "I'm not allowed to have this."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> By the way, it costs 10000 credits Dias, if you give alcohol to a minor.
* Dias snatches the beer back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will not ask you again, Megumi Zhenmei.
<Dias> YOU SUCK RIGHT NOW KAT!
* Marcus` stands up and moves back to his room, leaning against the doorway as he watches Katrina work on the sheets. "So does this mean I finally get my room back?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back out. "That hurts."
* Megumi doesn't move. 1"Did you really prefer Mister Durran's method of things?"
<Cassandra`> NRP: I need to head to bed now.
<Marcus`> NRP: NIIIIGHT.
<Dias> Sorry. 6He waves his hand then tosses the can of beer to Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises slowly, her expression hidden under her hood. "Do not mention his name to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina catches it, opening it in Marcus' direction in case it's been shaken.
<Cassandra`> NRP: Night night
* Cassandra` has left #taw
<Megumi> Fair enough, Erevis. Since you do not lie, however, I feel better knowing I can just ask you outright.
<Dias> 6It foams up from being thrown, but that's about it
* Jennifer` smiles softly. "Are there any spare rooms Ms. McCormick?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drinks it.
* Marcus` turns to face Katrina, he tilts his head. "Rude."
<Dias> 6Tastes ever so good.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The room is yours.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not desire to speak with you. 6* She turns to go.
* Marcus` just nods once.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Um, you can have ... that room. 6* She points at a room.
* Marcus` glances towards the room, curious as to who's room that actually is.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's.
<Megumi> You mean to say you dislike me so much now you will not even talk to me?
<Marcus`> That's Billy's room.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Read from it what you desire.
<Jennifer`> "...I would hope to not take another's room."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Rumor has it that they're all moving back to the house.
<Megumi> No thank you, I am asking what you mean.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing.
<Marcus`> Ohh? Well I call dibs on Cass and Setsuna's romm.
<Marcus`> NRP: room
<Megumi> Since assuming what I wanted out of things is what made me screw up to begin with.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nope.
<Marcus`> What?! Oh come'on.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hums as she steps into Cassandra's room.
<Dias> Can I have it?
* Marcus` sighs. ".....apparently she is taking it for herself."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nope. 6* She closes the doors.
<Dias> Than I won't have to install new cameras.
<DeathStar> 6* They sound of things being ripped out of the wall are heard.
<Marcus`> True enough.
<Marcus`> Oooh. Yeah you will.
<Dias> Oh those are jus the dummy cameras.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tosses out the real ones.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Here you go.
* Dias blinks, staring at them. 1"Even little timmy?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Now, Dias. If you install anymore, I will know. And I will call Cheryl in to do me a favor.
<Marcus`> Oh I hope it's a favor I can watch.
<Dias> Is it a sexual favor? 6He looks at Kat hopefully.
<Marcus`> Because anyone kicking the shit out of Dias, is my best friend.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's not what Cheryl does best.
<Jennifer`> "If it helps Ms. McCormick, I've learned a few tricks that Cheryl has considered useful in that department."
<Dias> I was afraid you'd say that. 6He sighs, sad now.
* Megumi follows Erevis at a comfortable distance. 1"Erevis... Am I not allowed to tell you my feelings any longer?""
<Marcus`> Yeah she's only had sex one time and bam, preggers.
<Megumi> 6* Chii exits the training room, a bit roughed up, but then, she left the bedroom that way.
<Megumi> <Chii> What's all this noise..?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, nothing. 6* She leans on the door.
* Marcus` nudges Dias and glances towards Katrina and Chii.
<Dias> She took out all my cameras. 6He weeps silently
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains on the ice. She turns to face Megumi, her face still hidden in shadows. "If you we are to remain friends, we will return to the way things were before your feelings changed from platonic."
<Megumi> I hurt you that badly?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing.
* Marcus` sighs and rubs his face, moving back into his room now.
* Dias goes to graba nother beer and finds the cooler empty. 1"Lame...Well I'm off to the bar."
<Megumi> <Chii> Maybe I don't need Freyja after all. My presence seems to be purifying the room.
<Dias> Or the stripclub, something. Who knows.
<Dias> It's probably your stench. Don't you know what deodorant is?
<Megumi> <Chii> I use potpuri.
* Marcus` steps back out wearing something more fitting to him, a solid black tank and jeans, he rotates his shoulder. "...that's...gross."
* Megumi lifts one hand to press against her forehead, clearly taking a strike to her already shakey confidence. 1"...I suppose I really screwed up, then. Forgiven for being stupid, but not for being a moron."
<Dias> Psch, this is the...look, we use deodorant.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Megumi> 6Chii just stares, then glances at Katrina, then back. 1"Potpuri-scented deodorant is still deodorant."
<Dias> And you should think about wearing less hooker clothes.
<Marcus`> Or clothes for that matter...
<Dias> Or clothes for that matter.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Dias. "...oh god. I hate myself now." he moves into the kitchen*
<Megumi> 6She seems to think about it, then Chii just scowls. 1"Oh, you can all die in a fire. I'm wearing more than most, however sad that may be."
<Megumi> <Chii> Given an opportunity, you'd drop your pants before a coin could drop, so don't complain at me.
<Marcus`> 6* A coin drops in the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina evaluates how Jennifer is taking this
<Dias> Kat, use some of your taste and style and by her some new clothes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Only if she wanted a makeover.
<Dias> Well I think I hear a bar stool calling me. 6He moves out.
<Megumi> <Chii> I wouldn't mind, from you, though I imagine it means I would have less useful articles in my hair and wouldn't need help getting in and out of them.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure I can find something that goes with ribbons.
<Megumi> <Chii> Mm, whatever's fine, then.
* Marcus` walks back out eating a piece of pie, "So who made pie?"
<DeathStar> 6* It's King Red's Pie!
<Megumi> There is no way I can ignore or disavow my feelings for you or how being near you has calmed my soul, Erevis. That is my truth. If you mean to tell me that because of that we are in conundrum, then my heart can stop. I have much growing still to do, as others and you have made me aware, but I can only do that if you are willing to let me.
<Megumi> <Chii> Doesn't the dog usually do that stuff? Though she usually burns everything-- That one looks too nice.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There will never be anything between us, Megumi Zhenmei.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Oh this is King Red's pie."
* Marcus` tilts his head and offers some to Chii.
<Megumi> <Chii> Who's King Red?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't eat it, Chii!
<Megumi> 6* Chii raises an eyebrow skeptically at the buy, recoiling slightly at Katrina's warning.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina got bored watching Jennifer stand there and drool
<Megumi> There will not? Are you sure of that? There has been plenty already. I was too greedy to notice, most of it, but it is what it was.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sure. 6* She turns her back again.
<Marcus`> It'll make you hot. Like Katrina does. Then you wont need her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina groans.
<Megumi> You know yourself better than your friends, I should think. Pity that I will think of the last kiss as something it was not, then, but you had assured me it was what you wanted, regardless of the reason.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing to that.
<Megumi> I should have told you it was cute, like I would have done any other time.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns sharply. "I am tired of hearing such words from you, Megumi Zhenmei. If you have nothing else to say, then leave now."
* Jennifer` left for her room a long while ago.
* Jennifer` wonders what Katrina was looking at.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina was looking at Jennifer, who in fact, never left.

* Jennifer` did, but meh.
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh? I don't need her, I want her.
<Megumi> <Chii> What a useless food.
* Marcus` shrugs, eating more.
<DeathStar> 6* The pie begins to affect Marcus. It's...a new BRAND!
* Megumi nods slowly, looking quite more sullen. 1"... ..Alright, Erevis. Aside from that I love you and I am sorry to have hurt you, I have nothing to say-- There is nothing else to say, except thank you. You made me happy." 6She kneels touching her finger to the ice and holding her palm up, slowly forming a crystal flake.
* Jennifer` emerges from the room minus her bag and peers around the main area. On the lookout for enemies.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps her back to Megumi, quite deliberately.
* Megumi gets up and begins walking... toward her? Well, she has to go that way to exit the park. She uses the snowflake she's made in her left hand an excuse to not focus on Erevis' direction as she passes.
* Marcus` coughs. "Hmm. That's interesting. I'm getting horny. Apparently i'm not immune to this anymore."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *waves her hand* Play with fire.
<Megumi> <Chii> Huh, it's not useless.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps her head down so the hood hides her face.
<Marcus`> I'll put out that fire in a minute...where'd my lotion go...you didn't use it all did you?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shrugs helplessly.
<Marcus`> That would be inconvinient...I guess I could go find Angela. *he rubs his chin* But wait, that's wrong, she's 17. *he sighs, his jeans obviously getting tighter*
<Megumi> <Chii> Play with fire? He wants to sleep with Terra, too?
<Marcus`> I used too. Now she's...well...she's Terra.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Terra hates me, I think.
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh? Why?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *shrugs* She's Terra.
<Marcus`> Eh, she's changed. I don't like it. *he rubs his chin* So Kat. Think you could assist me in my situation here?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nope.
* Marcus` frowns. "But...you owe me one..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So I should let you do what you will with my body?
* Megumi passes her facing the opposite direction, closing her hand over the crystal snowflake, her other arm up to her eyes. She doesn't really have any clue where she's heading, but then, even if she looked she wouldn't anyway.
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "In a perfect world I guess."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nice try.
<Megumi> <Chii> An eye for an eye, shouldn't we just keep you from doing something stupid as well?
* Jennifer` walks into the kitchen, scouting the place.
<Marcus`> Well keeping me from having sex with Angela is keeping me from doing something stupid. *he notes very seriously*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Can't help you there.
* Megumi pauses just once, realizing something. Though her voice is cracked, she mumbles at an audible tone. 1"Mister Winters and Little Aya miss you."
* Megumi begins walking off again.
* Marcus` sighs. "...well, I guess it's up to me and ol Rosy Palmer." he moves towards his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits back down on the ice
<Jennifer`> * Angela, meanwhile, is still training.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I'm going to check out the room for anything. 6* She steps into Cassandra's bedroom
<Marcus`> *Theron steps up beside Erevis. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just meditates.
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks after Katrina, then looks around and claims the couch, turning on the holovid.
<Jennifer`> * Angela bumps into Marcus as he's walking towards his room, a towel on her shoulders.
* Marcus` sighs. "..."
* Jennifer` covertly joins Chii on the couch.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Hey."
<Marcus`> Hey?
<Megumi> 6Chii not-so-covertly snatches one arm around Jennifer.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "How're you?" *she eyes him carefully*
<Marcus`> I'm good. Just going to go work out a muscle. *he nods, shifting towards his room*
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns, glancing up at the sky.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Working out? I'm still kinda pumped, can I help?"
<Marcus`> Masturbating. *he notes*
<Jennifer`> * Angela blushes. "Oh ummm... yeah..."
* Marcus` nods his head once. "New form of king red's fruit, it would seem." Despite that information, he doesn't seem to be acting like everyone else does under the strain of the fruit.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "You seem pretty relaxed."
* Jennifer` blinks and looks at Chii.
* Megumi checks the status of the front door of HQ.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps away moments later.
<Marcus`> I'm used to being horny. What can I say?
<DeathStar> 6* The door is fine, really.
<Megumi> 6Chii doesn't even look at Jennifer, continuing to switch channels at random intervals.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Well, hang in there tiger. 8 Months and I'm legal." *she grins, he wouldn't be able to tell if she's joking*
* Megumi enters the HQ, closing the door behind her. Without saying a word or looking at the two in the living room, she passes the two in the hall, enters the room she stayed in the other night and closes the door.
* Marcus` arches a brow and then slips into his room, locking the door.
* Jennifer` looks down at the arm around her and then just sticks her attention to the Holovid

Session Close: Mon Oct 29 00:21:18 2007

Session Start: Mon Oct 29 00:35:04 2007
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071029.log'
<DeathStar> 6* Same day
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina has taken a cat nap, Erevis remains on the ice, Zephyr is being all gangstah and prowling the town, Cheryl and Warren are MIA doing military things, Billy is at home, and Drake hasn't been seen.
<Xan|Gone> *Marcus is masturbating. Theron is ninja.
* Jennifer` is sitting on the couch, caught in Chii's clutches.
<Kit> 6Chii changes channels idly.
<Jennifer`> * Angela passes by Megumi's claimed room, she stops, knocking on the door.
<Kit> <Megumi> Go away.
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Why are you back here?"
<Megumi> Brilliant as you are, figure it out.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Coming in."
<Megumi> I will hurt you...
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Like that'll help."
<Megumi> Hurt everyone else..
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Then now it's time to change."
<Jennifer`> * Angela opens the door.
<Jennifer`> "H-Hi... who are you?"
<Megumi> 6The door resists slightly, like the hinge was rusting. A crackling sounds and it gives, something shattering along the ground like glass. The inside of the room is overrun with crystal encrusted formations-- Every object, every wall. Megumi sits in the very center, facing the far wall, holding her knees.
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks a few times, then looks downward. 1"...Chii."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "...You need to calm down Meg."
<Jennifer`> "I'm Jennifer."
<Megumi> 6Chii glances back toward the holovid. 1"Yoroshiku ne."
<Megumi> 6Chii gives a flick of her tail, stopping on a program about rhinoceruses.
* Megumi growls slightly, some of the formations changing shape as if they were water or sand rather than solid. 1"Why? What does it matter?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "What does this help?"
<Megumi> Who said I was intending to help anything? Anything I try to fix, breaks more than ever.
<Megumi> I want to disappear, but I imagine I could even screw that up, if I had not said I would not.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "So mope in this room till you die, that's constructive."
* Megumi holds up her hand, gripping a shape remarkably reminiscent of a snowflake between her finger and thumb. 1"What business of it is yours? You told me to stay out of your matters with miss knight, why are you bothering me? Would you care if I died? Leave me the hell alone."
<Jennifer`> Angela> 'I could give two shits what you do with Erevis, I care what you're doing to yourself."
<Megumi> Hrmph, ridiculous then. I care not about myself at all. All I wanted -was- Erevis. Even she has decided I am a nuissance.
* Megumi laughs slightly, twisted in tone. 1"...Erevis deciding that, of all people."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "You're pathetic."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "No wonder she doesn't want you."
* Megumi crushes the snowflake in her hand. 1"Thanks for pointing out the obvious."
* Jennifer` is now known as Angela
<Angela> "If it's so obvious, why are you sitting her blubbering like a child?"
* Megumi lets the dust of the object slowly sift out of her hand, draining to the floor like an eggtimer.
<Megumi> There is nothing I can do to change. No matter what I do, it will never improve.
* Angela scoffs.
<Angela> "For someone trying to tell me how to change, you sure wind up a hypocrite here."
* Megumi turns her head around, eyes widened, the left riddled in violet, blood smeared across her cheek from where she wiped it away with the hand she is supporting her weight on.
<Megumi> Then do whatever you want
<Megumi> Obviously I cannot tell you anything better.
<Angela> "You don't love her."
<Megumi> What, are you a magician now?
* Megumi gestures with her hand. 1"Go on, wave your hand. Make it so."
<Angela> "No, observant, you don't love her."
<Megumi> Screw you. I may not know how to show them, but I know my feelings.
<Angela> "No you don't then, because if you loved her you wouldn't be acting like this."
<Megumi> How would I be acting, then? You know so much, miss genius.
<Angela> "You'd be trying your damndest to improve yourself and be a woman worthy of her love."
<Megumi> She does not want my love.
<Angela> "Not with how you are. Why would anyone?"
<Megumi> You do not know Erevis well at all.
* Angela shakes her head. "Fine, remain worthless."
<Megumi> I hurt her, while I had these kinds of feelings. For as long as I hold her in that regard, she will never acknowledge me again.
* Angela shakes her head more.
<Angela> "Then don't hold her in it. Let her warm up to you, stop forcing things."
* Megumi scowls at Angela. 1"She said so herself."
<Angela> "Then DO it."
<Megumi> Do WHAT!?
<Megumi> 6Chii has a twitch in her ear, and she casually glances over the edge of the couch toward the hall, then looks back to the holovid.
* Angela rubs her face. "You're dense as a sheet of halacite steel..."
<Megumi> ...
<Angela> "Straiten out, stand tall, buckle it up, and get to work."
<Megumi> I do not understand what the hell you are saying.
* Angela considers leaving, but taps into a part of Angela and stupidly moves forward.
* Angela walks over to her. "Who are you?"
* Megumi growls slightly. Her hemorraged eye doesn't seem to focus on Angela, but the yellow one follows her. She seems more and more agitated the closer Angela might come. 1"...You know who I am."
<Angela> "Are you Megumi, a person with her own feelings? Or the lap cat of Erevis Progenitor?"
<Megumi> I am not amused if you are going to make fun of me...
<Megumi> Call it what you will, but those two are one and the same. I, Megumi Zhenmei, am who I am.
* Angela stares at her.
<Angela> "Look, for some godforsaken reason, I want to help."
<Megumi> ...
<Angela> "I'm not really the Angela Bennet you knew before, and people that are so stuck to another disgust me."
<Megumi> Then you should be happy that she does not want me.
<Angela> "No, I'm not."
* Megumi narrows her eyes. 1"Why? The fact that I will have no other must surely disgust you."
<Angela> "Actually, it's about the one thing that I admire... you stick to your target."
* Megumi actually blinks at that one. 1"...So you find disdain in everything except my persistence."
<Angela> "Basically."
<Megumi> Wonderful. So I am a truly despicable being aside from being an idealist.
<Angela> "Always room for improvement."
<Megumi> I care little of what others besides Erevis and those close to me think.
<Megumi> Having lost myself and my family twice, they are all that matters to me.
<Angela> "You should be able to take care of yourself before you presume you can care for a loved one."
<Megumi> What good is taking care of myself if I am unable to be with whom I love?
<Angela> "Do you deserve to be with anyone if you can't at elast do that?"
<Megumi> I fail to see your logic. I was perfectly capable before.
<Angela> "Clearly not."
<Megumi> I did not harm Erevis because I was unable to live on my own.
* Angela stands and turns away.
<Angela> "Forget it, you're not interested or willing to really win her back, or improve yourself. Wallow in self pity and destroy yourself like all the fools in this world."
<Megumi> 6Chii is standing in the doorway, holding Jennifer like a teddy bear.
<Angela> * Jen is being held @_@
<Megumi> 6She doesn't say anything, she's just sitting there, staring at the two.
<Angela> Jen>? "A-Ano... Ano..."
<Megumi> 6Chii looks down at her questioningly. 1"Yes?"
* Megumi glares at everyone. The hell are they all doing there.
<Angela> Jen> "I-I... umm..."
<Megumi> <Chii> I don't understand gibberish.
<Megumi> <Chii> You seem to be interrupting, as well.
* Angela looks over at them, then back at Megumi.
<Angela> "Chii... take Carmichael there and go... this isn't a holovid."
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh? She can go if she wants, but I'm enjoying myself.
<Angela> "Chii. Go."
<Megumi> 6Chii shakes her head. 1"Nuh uh."
<Megumi> <Chii> Besides, weren't you done?
<Angela> "No."
<Megumi> Yes. Get lost, all of you.
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh, shut up. I'm not talking to you-- yet.
* Megumi growls slightly, narrowing her eyes.
<Angela> * Jen flails in Chii's arms, poor girl doesn't want to be here.
<Megumi> 6Chii peers down at Jennifer and sets her down. She's used to this from Myria.
<Angela> * Jen blushes heavily and returns to the safety of the holovid.
* Angela sighs and turns back towards Megumi, moving towards her. Ignroing Chii.
<Megumi> That is not the direction of 'away.'
<Angela> "Tough."
* Angela gets right up by her.
* Megumi tenses her hands, some of the crystal she has even encrusted herself with cracking and falling away as she turns halfway, glaring at Angela through the one yellow eye, the other seeming blind.
<Angela> "What, are you going to go insane? Going to kill me for trying to help Megumi?"
<Megumi> I will not go 'insane.' I promised I would keep myself from doing so.
* Megumi holds one hand over the bleeding left eye, the other hardening. 1"I have no qualms in rendering you unable to speak to me, however."
<Megumi> 6Chii sneaks off to Cassandra's bedroom for a moment, leaning in and knocking on the door.
<Angela> "I've been mute before, if that's what it takes to make you waker up, so be it."
<Megumi> <Chii> Oi, Katrina?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door. "Yes, Chii?"
<Megumi> <Chii> We have a guest, so... If you hear strange noises, don't worry about it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What sort of ... weird noises?
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm just going to show her something.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Do I want to know?
<Megumi> <Chii> If memory serves, she had a few sessions from you a while back, but I'll handle it this time.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods slowly. "Alright. If you need me, just come get me."
<Megumi> <Chii> Mm, something tells me she can't do too much. But thanks.
<Megumi> 6Chii grins somewhat... cheshirely, and makes her way back down the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina closes the door. Around here, the less you know, the saner you are.
<Megumi> <Megumi> You are... annoying me.
<Megumi> You know nothing about Erevis, my feelings, and yet you return my persistence after stating how you could care less. You make no sense... You are... irritating.
<Megumi> <Chii> Hey, Angela.
* Angela looks up and around at Chii.
<Angela> "Yes?"
<Megumi> <Chii> I think you have the right idea, but we're missing something.
* Megumi twitches her fingers slightly, not appreciating the talk like she isn't there. 1"I said get out of here!"
* Angela smiles.
<Angela> "Chii, go ahead and help."
<Megumi> <Chii> Help...? Well, I guess you could call it that.
<Megumi> 6She walks over slowly, causing Megumi to bristle even more. 1"Step aside a little."
* Angela steps aside.
<Megumi> This is the last time I will ask you to l--!
<Megumi> 6Megumi's sentence is cut short by the sound of shattering crystal, much of it spraying off into the air as Chii's left hand collides with her cheek and topples the girl right over backwards. She slides a few feet and comes to a rest before the wall, taking a moment to recover before rising to her feet utterly enraged.
<Megumi> <Chii> Oy, chibi, isn't this what you're good at? Come on.
<Megumi> 6Megumi seems to hesitate, stricken with a sense of awe in this awkward and abrubt outcome. 1"Sh-shut up!" 6she cries, making a quit lancet across the floor to strike Chii, who doesn't even move, taking a similar deck to her face. Except, her head barely inclines any and she stares rather unamused.
<Megumi> <Chii> You know, if that's supposed to hurt, you're going to have to try a little harder. Aren't you always talking about breaking things? You couldn't give me a massage with that.
* Angela has vacated the room to listen i safety.
<Megumi> <Megumi> H-how... that...?!
<Megumi> <Chii> It isn't a matter of how, kouzou. Right now you're just a brat with no strength behind those fists you brag about. While you're busy whining about that Progenitor woman, you have no spirit.
<Megumi> <Chii> As much as I love your despair, your soul's too weak to make it fulfilling.
<Megumi> <Megumi> What the hell are you talking about?
<Megumi> 6Chii answers by driving her knee into Megumi's midsection, cradling her for a moment before grabbing her and turning, tossing the lightweight girl across the bed, where she bounces and topples into the wall. As she's recovering, several lines bend about the room and center on Megumi.
<Megumi> 6While she's busy figuring out what that means, Chii snaps, converging a trio of black flames on her, smacking her right back into the wall before she tumbles down onto the bed, shaking slightly.
<Megumi> <Chii> You done already? I thought you were supposed to be all...
<Megumi> 6Chii waves her fingers mockingly. 1"Scary."
<Megumi> "..."
<Megumi> <Chii> Well, whatever. Just a kid, anyway, kouzou.
<Megumi> 6Megumi struggles on her dominant hand to sit up, glancing up with a look out of her good eye that'd burn holes in some people. 1"... I am... not a ...kid..."
* Angela is now known as Angela|StolenByMonkeys
<Megumi> <Chii> Ah bullshit. Sure, you're over half a century old, but who's to say that makes you not a kid? I'm more than a handful of millenia old and I still don't know much about people.
<Megumi> "... Nh.."
<Megumi> <Chii> So you think you know Erevis any better than these people?
<Megumi> W-what?
<Megumi> <Chii> You've had one of the rare chances to see her soul itself, kouzou, but what good's it done you? Did you completely ignore it after you could no longer see it with your own eyes?"
<Megumi> <Chii> Being a kid, I bet you did something stupid like going and mentioning the hero boy.
<Megumi> "..."
<Megumi> <Chii> She's a rock, ain't she? Leaving it up to her? What are you thinking?
<Megumi> "..Th-the hell do... you know? ... Not right ...to force it...
<Megumi> <Chii> Tch. More than you. Hero boy and her had quite the arrangement to figure things out-- Hell, he knew her amazingly well.
<Megumi> <Chii> It might have been a little strange, but it got things done. Every now and then that stubborn woman and him would get to settling things with a smack to the head or whatever.
<Megumi> <Chii> Does it seem like she regrets it that much?
<Megumi> "...What are you... talking about?"
<Megumi> <Chii> Pf. Tell me, kouzou. Who are you?
<Megumi> ...You know who I am...
* Megumi feigns irritation, having to answer the same questions.
<Megumi> <Chii> Megumi? I don't believe you.
<Megumi> ...That is... who I am.
<Megumi> <Chii> Prove it, weakling. Megumi Zhenmei's a freak of nature. You're just an emotional little brat.
<Megumi> "..."
<Megumi> <Chii> It's something about you that's never made sense to me. You obviously don't like being in control of things when it comes to slee--
<Megumi> Shut the hell up! What are you babbling about!?
<Megumi> 6Chii grins, laughing. 1"The shrimp we used to clean up Famfrit wasn't like this, huh? The one that broke her own soul to retrieve another's? Hah, or the 'danced with Wind' comment."
<Megumi> ...You are... starting to piss me ...off...
<Megumi> <Chii> Good, then maybe you'll accomplish something.
<Megumi> ...I do not understand... your motive...
<Megumi> <Chii> Mataku. You're a terrible kid. Must we spell out everything for you?
<Megumi> "..."
<Megumi> <Chii> You already know Erevis isn't like other people around here. But you seem to think you're capable of being in love with her for some strange reason.
<Megumi> <Chii> Even I'm liable to think you're a damn nutcase, but you seem to have pulled off a few things to make a few of us think otherwise.
<Megumi> No one thinks that...
<Megumi> <Chii> Urusai. No one said it was your turn.
<Megumi> "..."
<Megumi> <Chii> You've spent a year living with her. Now, she may not be the type to turn away a stray cat like you, but she certainly isn't the kind that puts up with things she doesn't want around. Sure, it might not have been love at first sight like a hopeless ditz like you might dream of, but get real. We're talking about Erevis.
<Megumi> <Chii> You sat around and played the part of a house cat for that long, babbling about putting up with this and that and waiting for her to return this, blah, blah. It's enough to make me sick. But even when she does, you're so paranoid and expectant of the Erevis you know in your head, that you overthink it to the point of calling her a liar.
<Megumi> ...How do you know that?
<Megumi> <Chii> Oh come on, you're so predictable.
<Megumi> It does not matter. She does not want me anymore.
<Megumi> <Chii> Kutebara, kouzou. Did you even bother to see if she was wearing that idiotic hairpin?
<Megumi> "..."
<Megumi> <Chii> Hah, you didn't, did you?
<Megumi> ...She was... wearing a hood.
<Megumi> <Chii> Boke. You obviously didn't get past a few words-- We're talking about the precious kitten who rambles 'I won't do anything to hurt you, Erevis!' So you probably came crying here immediately. Doesn't that sound like a child to you?
<Megumi> 6The crystalline structures in the room begin cracking, Megumi herself sits on the edge of the bed by this point, looking downard, holding her hemmoraged eye out of view.
<Megumi> <Chii> Get real. Ask anyone who knows her and I bet they'll all tell you the same. Sometimes the only thing that rock understands is being split.
<Megumi> ...I... That is... what Mister Jones said... but I... I...
<Megumi> <Chii> You don't want to hurt her? Grow up.
<Megumi> ...
<Megumi> <Chii> If you want to be with her, stand up for it. You'll fight for anything you want, so why won't you fight for this? Bring it on.
<Megumi> 6Megumi is suddenly right before Chii, her hand below the jaw.
<Megumi> <Megumi> ...Fine.
<Megumi> <Chii> "Too slow" 6Chomp
<Megumi> 6Megumi shrieks, flailing as she hops around, Chii having bitten her hand.
<Megumi> 6When she calms, she looks upward, her eyes fixate upward on Chii. 1"...I..."
<Megumi> 6Chii plants her fist in Megumi's gut, causing her to hack.
<Megumi> <Megumi> "Wh-what was that for!?" 6She backs off.
<Megumi> <Chii> Beh. I don't like brats... Come back when you've grown up...
<Megumi> 6Megumi blinks, watching her walk off. Chii ventures to Cassandra's room.
<Megumi> 6Chii enters the bedroom, closing the door behind her. 1"...Katrina?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes? 6* She appears to be on her hands and knees, half under the bed.
<Megumi> "...Mmm... Well that's nice too."
<Megumi> NRP: Chii >_>
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses in her movements. "What's nice?"
* Megumi on the other hand, takes a look to the ceiling as the crystal in the room dissolves entirely. She frowns slightly, then takes a long and deep breath before smiling slightly, albeit painfully.
<Megumi> <Chii> What I can see from here.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slides her top half out and leans on the bed, staring at Chii. "You learn way too fast."
<Megumi> 6Chii grins, then lets her expression drop, stepping over quickly holding her hand up to Katrina. 1Wahh! It fucking hurts! That chibi-kisama was covered in crystal..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes Chii's hand, examining it. "Did you pick a fight with Megumi?"
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh, she was asking for it.
<Megumi> <Chii> I just opened her eyes a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses Chii's hand better. "Try to get along without letting the people hurt you with their crystals."
<Megumi> 6Chii smiles sheepishly at Katrina. 1"She'll be fine. Or she'll die when Erevis kills her."
<Megumi> <Chii> One of the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina considers that.
* Megumi exits the house in a languid pace, unless EM STOPS HER.
<Megumi> NRP: Or Drake, I guess!
<Megumi> <Chii> What were you looking for?
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, in London, Drake battles a werewolf.
<Megumi> 6Chii bends over to take a look under the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina appraises the nice view now. "Just seeing if Cassandra and Setsuna left any surprises under the bed."
<Megumi> <Chii> I see a few.
<Megumi> <Chii> Anything in mind?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Indeed. Those two are certainly kinky. 6* She crosses her arms. "No. I just wanted to know what's what."
<Megumi> 6Chii rummages beneath the bed.
<Megumi> 6Her tail waves like a banner.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Grab anything you see that might interest you. 6* She notes.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...I might be here a while, then.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *laughs* Okay. I'll check the closet. 6* Katrina opens the closet.
* Megumi pauses after a short distance outside the headquarters, glancing back, then turns forward, running for the park.
<DeathStar> 6* A cane sticks out in front of Megumi's legs.
<Megumi> 6Megumi, relying on godhearing outside, doesn't hear the little movement it would require to veer a cane and collides into the bloody pavement. Or, well, it's bloody now. 1"Agh!"
<DeathStar> 6* Nicely, whoever tripped her aimed her for a snowbank.
<Megumi> <Chii> Whee, ball-thingy... soft rope... Hand-cuffs? Classic.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Becareful with the handcuffs. Who knows where the key is at.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...You should have said that sooner.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... did you handcuff yourself?
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Maybe?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs a bit. "Great. Not to the bed, did you?"
<DeathStar> 6* A hand reaches down to pick her up from the snowbank.
<Megumi> <Chii> Nandatou? The hell is this thing? Looks like a pompom with leather isntead of tassles.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over and peeks under the bed.
<Megumi> 6Chii sneakily snags the other end of the cuffs on Katrina's opposing wrist.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> H-Hey! 6* She jerks back instinctively.
<Megumi> 6Chii giggles, acking slightly as her left hand is pulled along.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You little vixen. Now how do we find the key?
<Megumi> 6She holds a cat-o-nine tails in her other hand.
* Megumi groans as she is assisted out of the snow, shaking her head free of some powder.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren Carmichael peers into her eyes, checking them out thoroughly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her hand
<Megumi> 6Chii sets the tool off on the bed and reaches over to the link on Katrina. 1"Well, it says on the side, 'release.'" She flicks a little lever and it slides off of Katrina's wrist.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How simply easy. 6* She takes the hand cuff and snags it to the bed post, locking in place.
<Megumi> <Chii> Granted if you were wearing both, especially behind or over your head you couldn't reach it.
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks at the action.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh ho ho, don't even think about it.
<Megumi> <Chii> ..Why not?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because I'd have to get creative in return.
<Megumi> 6Chii grins cheshirely again. 1"Well, it was fun last time, anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina switches the release and turns her back to Chii.
<Megumi> 6Chii removes it from her other hand and sets it beside the odd short whip on the bed and peers underneath again. 1"Eh-heh.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Whatdya find this time?
<Megumi> 6Megumi strains, vulnerable for a moment, but then cinching her eyes shut, bothered by the daylight left. 1..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sighs and puts some shades on her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lets go.
<Megumi> <Chii> Weird outfits and some ...marbles?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina giggles.
<Megumi> <Chii> I don't know.
<Megumi> <Chii> Wh-what?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, you'd have to ask them. 6* She nods sagely.
<Megumi> <Chii> Ask the marbles?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Cassandra and Setsuna.
<Megumi> <Chii> Oh! Right!
<Megumi> ...M-Mister Carmichael?
<DeathStar> <Warren> You don't seem well, Zhenmei.
<Megumi> 6Chii tosses the rope and 'marbles' and weird clothing around, her tail wagging. 1"Find anything -you- like? What's in the closet?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is in his uniform still, apparantly doing something sneaky and militaristic. He leans on his cane.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Costumes. My, my, these girls were something.
<Megumi> I... I have been better. Not that I am unhappy to see you again, but why are you here, Mister Carmichael?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Business. I was making sure you weren't brain hemorraging from going all...well, insane.
<Megumi> H-huh..!? How... How would you know I was..
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just gives the Warren look.
<Megumi> ... Eh..
<Megumi> Do you ...know why?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans on his cane, looking all knowing. "Perhaps you care to explain."
<Megumi> I do not know where to begin...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps the cane once.
* Megumi looks questioningly at Warren. 1"I do not know where to begin because I do not know how much you know about ...things."
<DeathStar> <Warren> From the beginning will do.
* Megumi toes the ground and gulps shyly. 1"...I love Erevis."
<Megumi> <Chii> Katriiiina...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes? 6* She glances over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Megumi> <Chii> You never said-- What have you found that you like, huh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh. Gosh, I don't know. I haven't really used some of this stuff before. Well, besides the handcuffs.
<Megumi> 6Chii coughs slightly. 1"...I'm willing to learn!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're an eager pupil.
<Megumi> <Chii> Don't forget test subject
<Megumi> 6Chii 'nyo ho ho hos.'
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And you say I have too much energy.
<Megumi> <Chii> Never!
<Megumi> ...You already know that we have been living together, but a while ago I confessed to her. A lot has happened since but... I hurt Erevis' pride and sense of integrity.
<Megumi> <Chii> Like I'd play the part of a pet to some passive-aggressive twit. Tch.
<Megumi> <Chii> Boring!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods all knowingly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pinches Chii's behind. "We could go clothes shopping while it's day."
<Megumi> 6Chii squeaks in the middle of her mischievous plotting, blinking. 1"...Eh? You don't like this kind of thing, after all?"
<Megumi> 6Chii holds out the end of her skirt.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I do like it. But a girl needs multiple outfits.
<Megumi> 6Chii looks upward, then nods.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And shoes.
<Megumi> I ...I was despairing, but I think I have had some sense beaten into me. I plan to do what I can now before it is too late.
* Megumi quickly shifts her gaze down the lane, eager to move on.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. Here, let me hand you this tranq gun.
<Megumi> H-huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls it out. "This thing can stop a Ridiarium."
<Megumi> What would I do with this?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Oh, for when she tries to kill you.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds it out.
<Megumi> I... I can handle myself..
<DeathStar> <Warren> You don't look like it.
<Megumi> I did not have the resolve.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6* He pokes her with his cane to see if she falls.
* Megumi snatches the end of the cane in her hand. 1"When it comes to Erevis, I will rewrite reality if I have to."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm sure Wind can give you a tip or two. And for godsake, wear some normal clothes. It's winter. 6* He rolls his eyes and tries to snatch his cane back to go.
* Megumi smiles sheepishly. 1"...I have... other clothes. I... It... it was complicated."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts and walks away.
<Megumi> If you are truly concerned, I would not stop you from coming, you know.
<Megumi> I do want that rematch!
<Megumi> <Chii> What's wrong with my boots?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances over his shoulder. "You have to live for a rematch."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A girl needs multiple shoes to go with her multiple outfits.
<Megumi> 6Chii waves her foot, the shiney high-heeled boots to match the dress.
<Megumi> <Chii> Oh, so deshou.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to make a map in her head of the places to go.
* Megumi shakes her fist after Warren. 1"Is that a promise or a challenge!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't answer and rounds a corner.
* Megumi smirks slightly. 1"...Evasive prick." 6Begins running down the lane again.
<Megumi> 6Chii takes the opportunity to snag Katrina's left wrist, cuffing the right, so she can cuff both in just two swift motions.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey! 6* She eyes her cuffed hands, then tries to work her thumbs to hit the release switch.
<Megumi> 6Chii then leaps atop the bed and scampers to the other side quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up. "Okay, I'm going to get you. You cuffed my hands in front of me, so I can grab you."
<Megumi> <Chii> Have to catch me first!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina circles the bed.
<Megumi> 6Chii leaps over the top and rolls to the other end.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns and quickly jumps on the bed.
<Megumi> 6Chii gapes. 1"Aw, you weren't supposed to figure that out so quick!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina attempts to snag Chii.
* Megumi makes it to the park in running intervals, making sure she doesn't work up her lungs, and then walks for the pond.
<Megumi> 6Chii rolls out of the way, snagging the rope on her escape.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope somes some "cigs" in the living room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glares.
<Megumi> 6Chii sticks her tongue out at Katrina, smiling.
<DeathStar> 6* A cloaked figure is still on the ice, probably frozen to death. They meditate.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns and begins to move for the post, clearly going to use it to click the release switch if possible
* Megumi makes her way to the shore before stopping. She gives herself time, then breathes deeply. 1"Erevis!"
<DeathStar> 6* The cloak figure doesn't shift an inch.
<Megumi> 6Chii slides by, swinging the rope so that it winds around Katrina and the post like a tetherball. 1"Hah!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey!
<Megumi> 6She snags the end once it comes around.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares incredulously.
<Megumi> 6Chii walks in quite pleased and peers at Katrina's eyes closely.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers back, scowling. "This won't hold me forever."
<Megumi> <Chii> I don't want it to. Just long enough to...
<Megumi> 6She holds that.
<DeathStar> <Pope> There's never any good bloody porn on. 6* He sighs./
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's eyes widen. "You wouldn't."
<Megumi> 6Chii kisses her when she goes to speak, then lets go of the rope.
* Megumi hopes out onto the ice and takes a few steps, sliding to within fifteen feet of Erevis. 1"...Erevis.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's words are muffled as she's kissed. She tests the rope to see if it's slackened enough to move, by moving her shoulders
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why are you back? 6* She speaks without turning around
<Megumi> 6Having let go of the rope, Chii no longer has any tension holding it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina attempts to push Chii back so she lands on her back, and then would spring on her.
<Megumi> "Gah!" 6Chii cries as her kiss is broken, staggering back onto her rump before being sprung upon.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I seem to have the upperhand now.
<Megumi> <Chii> But how will you use it?
<Megumi> I will never leave again.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes the handcuffs, clearly formulating a plan to use
<Megumi> <Chii> I thought we were going shopping?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, stiff in her movement. "I asked you to leave."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That was so before you handcuffed me.
<Megumi> I will never willingly betray you in any way again, Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Chii, her expression hidden. She turns to walk away.
<Megumi> <Chii> Yikes, I've been bad again, then?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yep. As soon as I get these off, I'm going to punish you.
<Megumi> <Chii> I can't allow that, now, can I?
<Megumi> 6Chii's tail strikes!
* Megumi being fifteen feet away, circles to block Erevis' escape path.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina acks, glad for clothes this time. She tries to roll off Chii
<Megumi> You do not believe me?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis comes to a stop. "If you will not accept what we had before this, then I am not interested in hearing anything more you have to say to me."
<Megumi> I will not accept it. I have seen that my feelings can reach you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' told grows a few degrees more heated. "Go home, Megumi Zhenmei."
<Megumi> The only home I have left is with you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You can stay at the house if you wish, but there is no you and I.
<Megumi> I refuse.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You...refuse? 6* Her voice takes a tone that has clear killing intent behind it.
<Megumi> I recognize this side of you, Erevis!
<Megumi> The one that would not accept me no matter what I said. That damn progenitor.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You cannot arbriterally decide that I am yours. I am no one's.
<Megumi> 6Chii giggles, grabbing the chain between the cuffs and leaping atop the bed to hold it out of Katrina's reach.
<Megumi> Who said anything about that, Erevis? You are not an object.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You certainly act as if I am one. Refusing to let me go.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ooo, you!
<Megumi> I love you. To let you go is to give up a part of myself and ignore my very feelings. Indeed, I refuse to do so.
<Megumi> I will not claim that you belong to me, Erevis, but I will proclaim that I refuse to listen to that stubborn side of you that will not accept your other self as well.
<Megumi> That crystalline prison should not exist again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is who I am. Perhaps you merely did not wish to see it. 6* She turns and walks away again. It's clear, in her walk, it's taking some effort.
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
* Megumi slides across the ice, not allowing that to the best of her ability, but it is ice. She uses her hand to steady when necessary.
<Megumi> I have seen it. Not through my own power, but I will consider it a blessing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps moving - she's not stopping this time.
<Megumi> A gift that was given to me. I was able to see and free the side of you that I love and is able to return those feelings to me in time. I regret nothing.
* Megumi holds up her hands, open palmed. 1"That other half will not control everything in its idea of self-induced necessity."
<Megumi> <Chii> Hee! Just try and get away!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tugs back
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis uses her gloved hand to grab Megumi's arm, and tosses her back along the ice.
<Megumi> 6Chii erks and slides off the bed onto her chest in an awkward and very immobile way.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is over, Megumi Zhenmei. You need to learn to stand on our own again without me.
* Megumi reaches out with a hand and forms her dagger jabbing it into the ice, yanking to send her sliding right back for Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina attempts to sit on Chii.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Gah!" 6She kicks her legs. 1"No fair!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there now, deciding, apparantly, to take this on directly instead of walking away.
* Megumi continues sliding, she aims to knock Erevis' legs out from under her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides to the side instead.
* Megumi forms her shortsword and sticks it into the ice, using it as a tether to sweep in an arc.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? 6* She tickles Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides back toward the center of the ice pond.
* Megumi slides around and arcs up, landing crouched atop the shortsword hilt. She peers intently at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stand there, her head dipped downward, clearly still hiding her face at this point. She breathes heavily.
<Megumi> Terms, Erevis?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Terms?
<Megumi> Conditions of victory.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware we were fighting for something.
<Megumi> Then why are you fighting?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Because you will not back down.
<Megumi> No, I will not. I am not leaving until I have met you again, Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there silently.
<Megumi> 6Chii shrieks and flails whole-heartedly. 1"Eeek..!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Now, I'm going to get myself out of these. 6* She stands up.
<Megumi> 6Chii peers upward and crawls out from under Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to bang the release switch
<Megumi> <Chii> Something wrong?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Stubborn thing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think it's jammed.
<Megumi> 6Chii gets up and leans over, checking on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina suddenly grabs Chii's arm, twisting it behind her and cuffs her, then grabs the second hand, attempting to cuff it, too
<Megumi> <Chii> Ah! You cheat, again!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, well, look who I caught.
<Megumi> That beautiful, kind Erevis who kissed me because I was feeling sad. The one who was elated with a gift of the snow.
* Megumi twists her mouth a bit, glum. 1"I am not imagining things."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not wish to be with you in that way.
<Megumi> Can you tell me why?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because what you need, I do not have it in me to provide.
<Megumi> What I need?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A love that is deeper than what I feel for you.
<Megumi> 6Chii looks over her shoulder, wincing. 1"Eh heh heh.."
* Megumi smiles slightly. 1"At least you admit you love me."
<Megumi> You know for sure that it cannot grow over time?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I'll be back to deliver punishment after I get myself a glass of water. 6* She steps out.
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks. 1"Wh-what..!? She follows, stopping at the doorway. 1"E-eh...!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have watched you grow more and more lost over the past four months. I cannot offer what you want. So please. Move on.
<Megumi> More and more lost? What do you mean?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are never happy anymore, Megumi Zhenmei. And I am to blame. I am tired.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina whistles as she enters the kitchen
* Megumi hops down from her sword, holding her hands out. 1"That is not true at all..!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is indeed true.
<Megumi> Erevis, I have been happier in the last four months than I have been in four years.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just turns her back to Megumi. "I cannot take that lie anymore. Go home, Megumi Zhenmei."
<Megumi> 6Chii peers out of the bedroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope smokes his cigs, peering back from the couch
<Megumi> I am not lying, Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing.
<Megumi> Think about it, Erevis. You saw me on the station a year ago. Save for these few days, how am I in comparison?
* Megumi clenches a hand. 1"Just because I am frustrated once in a while, does not mean I am unhappy."
<Megumi> 6Chii jerks at the sight of Pope, retreating back to the bed and sitting down.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see you unhappy looks when you think I do not notice. I hear your talking in your sleep. I see your focus detoriating because your mind is confused.
<DeathStar> *your
<Megumi> Erevis, when you made me leave earlier, I lost my focus entirely.
<Megumi> That is proof enough to me, that losing you would not fix anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi through her hood of darkness. "I cannot take it anymore, Megumi Zhenmei. It is clear to me that I cannot give you what you want. And I cannot take it anymore. IF you will not leave, then my conditions are simple. If I beat you, you will move on with your life and forget about what you feel for me." 6* She turns, holding her green staff.
<Megumi> Fine. Then my condition is simple as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits to hear it.
* Megumi draws her hands outward, clenching her fingers.
<Megumi> You quit letting doubt ruin your judgement. Let me sort my own feelings and I will tell you when I am unhappy.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Very well. The victor is the one who makes the other submit, or if the other is unconscious.
<Megumi> I will not ask for more than we were, that is for your and time to decide, but I refuse to leave or settle for less because it is the easier path.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina returns with a cup of water, sipping it.
<Megumi> 6Chii's ears perk, glancing to Katrina. 1"Meanie!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles a bit, sitting beside Chii. She reaches over and hits the release switch
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis circles Megumi on the ice. Her battle stance shows this isn't a friendly fight. She's in battle mode.
<Megumi> 6Chii rubs her wrists and smiles.
<Megumi> <Chii> What's on your mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a swallow of water. "Not sure. I'm pretty blank right now, which is a bit of a relief. You?"
<Megumi> 6Chii shakes her head. 1"It's... peaceful for once."
* Megumi holds up her hands, resuming the stance of her palms, circling as well, eyes trained on Erevis for every movement-- She's aware how Erevis takes these sort of things.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides forward suddenly, swinging her stick down in a horizontal, mid-swing arc for Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah, it really is. 6* She lays back on the bed, staring up.
* Megumi shifts her eyes to the stick, calculating quickly and leaping a tiny amount, bringing her legs up more than her body actually rises, feet landing on the stick. 1"I am glad for one thing."
<Megumi> These conditions alleviate many of the things clouding my mind.
<DeathStar> 6* *Erevis swings upward.
<Megumi> 6Chii lies back, hands over her head as she stretches. 1"Mh."
<Megumi> 6Megumi leans and swings her feet around quickly, kicking the bo's end upward, landing on her hands, curving her legs' descent so she can make another sweep at Erevis' legs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is swept, but she twists, driving the bo into the ice. She flips, using it to land on her feet, though she stumbles backwards, clearly not having balance, oddly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wonder if anything interesting is happening out there.
<Megumi> <Chii> I doubt it.
<Megumi> 6Chii ponders on it. 1"Well, maybe the chibi-kouzou... Nah."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake dangles from London Bridge as werewolves peer down at him.
<Megumi> <Chii> I bet she wimped out.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wimped out of what?
<Megumi> <Chii> Oh come on, I basically told her to beat Erevis into loving her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you...serious...?
<Megumi> <Chii> What a lovely relationship.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs her face. "Not good, not good."
<Megumi> <Chii> I hope she didn't take me literally.
<Megumi> 6Chii glances at Katrina. 1"What, it worked for the hero boy."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah, but only because he beat Erevis before she killed herself to try to win. She takes competitive to a level beyond normal."
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh, I'm sure the little brat knows that by now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shrugs. "Probably."
<Megumi> 6Megumi, unable to stop spinning imediately, forms her zanbato and on a revolution, hurtles it at Erevis like a ridiculous shuriken.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis avoids it, lest it blow up on her. She slides forward, doing an uppercut swing with her bo for Megumi's chin.
* Megumi leans backward, hands to the ice, digging in with force created at her fingernails for grip. It almost looks like she's struck, but with the backwards movement, she narrowly avoids being jawjacked, her knees extend, attempting to kick Erevis in the side.
<Megumi> <Chii> Hopefully it doesn't last too long, though.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is struck in the side. She shifts her feet, trying to maintain balance. She brings up her bo and brings it down at Megumi, content to strike anything, be it even ice.
* Megumi sends her hand out, forming her naginata. Her current posture and small grip on the ice only lets her retract her legs, taking a good thwack to the hip, but she yanks the naginata back, the reverse of the blade aiming to snatch a foot.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jumps backwards and away, landing perfectly and gracefully
* Megumi staggers once but scrambles to her feet, letting the spear disappear.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, still hiding in her hoody of darkness. It makes it harder to predict her moves, since one cannot see her face.
* Megumi looks to her feet and hands and nods. Time to apply common sense. She crouches low to the ground, crystal enveloping her hands and feet, coming to curved edges. It's as if she's mimicing some of what happens when she berserks, at least physically.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Megumi> <Chii> Is it still a full moon?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think that was yesterday. So this would be the day after a full moon.
<Megumi> <Chii> Darn...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why darn?
* Megumi digs her fingers slightly, the new 'claws' giving her traction on the ice. She springs, running much on fours at a diagonal to Erevis.
<Megumi> <Chii> Might have been nice to lie on the roof and gaze.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drives her bo into the ice.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mm, yeah.
* Megumi runs to where Erevis has to actually turn to face her and then springs to the left, right, then springs at her.
<Megumi> <Chii> I bet Drake saw it. He's never here.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly yanks her bo out, along with a block of ice. Almost, as if knowing exactly what Megumi is going to do, she swings her block of ice into Megumi's path - for her head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He likes to be out in the field.
<Megumi> <Chii> In other words, he's paying the bills right now?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Something like that.
<Megumi> <Chii> Poor guy.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure he's having the time of his life
<DeathStar> 6* Drake falls off London Bridge
<Megumi> <Chii> True.
* Megumi slams her left hand into the ice, digging the claws in and yanks, trying to flip herself over it, bringing one knee up and extending her right leg-- Lotus drop!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina plays with one of Chii's ribbons. "Mmmm, wonder if I should use this again."
<Megumi> 6Chii jerks slightly. 1"That's where that went!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws herself to the right, rolling along the ice.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises it up high over herself. "What went?"
<Megumi> 6Chii flails around Katrina. 1"My ribbon...!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What ribbon?
<Megumi> 6Chii leans over her reaching for it. 1"Thaaat one!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets it go into Chii's hand.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This one?
* Megumi winces as her foot slams into the ice, cracking it noticeably on the surface, crying slightly. Just as quickly, however she uses that planted foot to bend her knee and toss herself toward Erevis again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains to push herself up.
<Megumi> 6Chii smiles, clutching at it. 1"Mmhmm.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> They're so useful.
<Megumi> 6Chii stretches again. 1"Mmhmm! I like ribbons. Mostly for decoration, though."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I like them, too. For binding naughty girls.
<Megumi> 6Chii chokes slightly. 1"Eee!"
* Megumi brings her dominant foot around as she approaches Erevis, going for a rounded stomp.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis decides to roll at the last possible dodge second.
* Megumi holds her hands together, gripping the hilt of the forming zanbato, which she twists, sending downward at Erevis a la the broad flat. So it won't cut? She doesn't want it to anyway, and the foot-wide breadth provides better hit chance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit by the weapon, letting out a sound. She rolls away again, and somehow gets to her feet, stumbling back and huncing.
* Megumi lets the zanbato fade as well, ever conserving energy this time, but that aside, she's panting heavily from physical exertion alone. Still, she can't let up and runs toward Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slips off her gloves.
<DeathStar> 6* The glove fall in slow motion toward the ice.
* Megumi focuses on Erevis intently, bearing up, sliding on two feet toward her, her hands ready.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits patiently.
<DeathStar> 6* Her hands are bandaged tightly, it would seem, but who knows if that'll stop her.
* Megumi narrows her eyes, forming a strategy. She digs the claws in and leaps to the side of the hand she ungloved, then to the opposite where she would have trouble reaching and digs in, leaping upward in an arc for Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Megumi. She times it, and attempts to drive her fist into Megumi's stomach with her supressed attack, only this one holds back nothing - her touch isn't a gentle, vibrator/mild electric giddy touch that feels weird, but okay - this is like being hit by an energy blast. She'll go for this attack, even if it costs her a blow to her own self
* Megumi holds out her hands, forming two spires that drive upward from the ground, one where she is, and one to the right and closer to Erevis, in her hands her dagger and shortsword form and as she touches her feet to the spire she made by her, she crouches and tosses them at Erevis from above, springing down to the next spire and then springing from a crouch there to attack from below.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly backflips away suddenly, as if a voice in her head warned her to move, and that she couldn't land a blow.
<Megumi> Alright...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lands on the ice, her right leg giving out so she falls down in her brilliant manuever.
<Megumi> Ready...
* Megumi seems to be talking to her self between gasps.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands without touching the ice, her body shuddering.
* Megumi holds her hand out to Erevis, her eyes solidly determined. 1"Go!" 6A spire rises behind Erevis and Megumi snaps to make it burst.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to dodge the attack without ever looking, but her body doesn't react timely. She's hit by the spire's burst.
* Megumi springs forward with a rather inane swiftness, much like she did to Ariel, except instead of bothering to move to the point of creating illusory images, she forms her naginata, holding it reverse so that the blade is near her hands, jabbing at Erevis with the extended reach but blunt bottom orb. At least she's careful to have her body to the side so the sudden jerk doesn't stab herself >_>;
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' hood has fallen off, and her face is finally revealed. Her face has a nasty bruise that's healing, and her lip is apparantly cut. She reaches up without ever looking and uses her hand to catch the orb bottom. She turns to face Megumi, and suddenly she punches right for her nose with her free hand.
* Megumi twists, jerking her knee upward in a desperate ploy to jam the knee into her arm and knock it upward, if so, the other leg bending back to make a shot at her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her arm enough to avoid being hit. She brings her hand around to try to strike Megumi's head's side
* Megumi uses her second knee to jab the spearhandle upward into the hand, dropping to the ice rather ungracefully.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back, then leaps up and punches down at Megumi with her strength
* Megumi on her back has little movement, but however, her hands free. She reaches in deftly with her new style's method of palm-punching the inner arm and knocks the hand sidelong into the ice beside her head, twisting around to strike with her other arm's elbow.
<Megumi> <Chii> We could go watch the sky anyway?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' fist drives through the ice like it were nothing, and she's then hit, knocked to the side. A strange cracking sound is heard, but she yanks her bloodied hand free from the ice, rolling along. She breathes heavily, laying on the ice, clutching her left arm, which seems to be a bit useless. Her eyes have definite circles showing under them now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, sure.
<Megumi> <Chii> Unless you'd rather shop?" 6Peer.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll let you decide.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rolls to her knees, then smashes her forehead into the ice. Then again.
* Megumi grinds her teeth, rolling forward to escape the spot of broken ice. She arcs around Erevis, frowning slightly at the behaviour reminding her of herself on Famfrit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands slowly, her body still shuddering on her. She lets her left arm dangle there; it's useless to her. A weakness.
<Megumi> <Chii> So mean, I hate making decisions..
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *smiles* Thank you
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis faces Megumi again. Blood runs down her forehead, sliding along her nose.
* Megumi tries not to give her enough time to think of something else or do something strange. She has another idea. She forms a tonfa in her left hand, then suddenly veers toward Erevis but...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to move her left hand, despite the broken bone. Her bandaged left hand is quickly staining the white bandages red.
* Megumi leans down and slams her fist into the ice with a decent amount of her excessive focus, intent on cracking and breaking it for a good radius beneath her and Erevis to force her to jump. If she does, she throws the tonfa toward her right side to get her to block with it while Megumi herself leaps at her centrally.
<Megumi> <Chii> Mm, well, if you have an idea of where and you think I need other clothes...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there instead, not moving.
<Megumi> <Chii> I wouldn't mind that, although I'd feel a little guilty considering I can't pay for anything.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll charge it to the team's account. Come on. 6* She takes Chii and swishes off.
<Megumi> 6Chii wonders what she got herself into now.
* Megumi throws the tonfa toward her right side anyway, then, only Megumi will spring across the breaking ice floes to get to her instead of jumping, studying her for the slightest move.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts as the ice breaks and vanishes into the water.
* Megumi leans and drives her hand through the ice, diving in a bit before where she saw Erevis sink.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sinks into the freezing waters. Her hair comes free of the outfit, floating along. She is, in fact, wearing the hair pin. She glances up as Megumi comes in.
* Megumi sinks rather rapidly toward her, forming her spear, reaching out with the non-bladed end.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just stares, drawing her right hand back.
* Megumi sets the spear in the slowing water so that it's inconspicuously aimed for Erevis' head and focuses, bringing her crystal-encrusted foot up into the blade so that it can jerk the rest of the distance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches it come.
* Megumi kicks the blade, knocking the orb end for Erevis' head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis will let it collide with her head, strangely enough
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis floats there afterward
* Megumi brings her hands up toward her mouth and focuses, causing a pocket of a friction to create an air bubble that she quickly takes before losing, then holds her hand up, forming spires beneath the ice. She sinks quickly to try and grab Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly grabs chest instead, opening her eyes again. In what can only be described as something akin to a TK hit, Megumi would feel like she just got suckered punch in the gut - with enough force to send her up and out of the water
* Megumi urks and flies upward?
<DeathStar> 6* Yeeeeees.
* Megumi pops out of the water and lands ungracefully on ice floes, choking.
<DeathStar> 6* A cold wind blows, as if to be bitchy.
* Megumi struggles for a second, then swipes at the ice, finding a place to look in the water, sinking her head if necessary, more concerned with Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly emerges, straining to pull herself up from the water. She grips the ice with her right hand, causing it to steam.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi might notice a burnt mark on her chest area, too, where she got gripped.
<DeathStar> 6* But she is a crazy cat, so it might not be noticed
* Megumi pulls her head back up, gasping terribly, coughing some more, concealing the blood that follows some water.
* Megumi struggles to get footing with her pseudo claws, reluctant to continue.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just hangs onto the ice, apparantly too weak to pull herself up at this point.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shivers, feeling her teeth chatting now. Her lips are even getting an interesting shade of blue.
* Megumi manages getting to her knee and one foot, one hand holding her hold.
<Megumi> Erevis... please.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You can...submit...if you desire...
* Megumi growls slightly, wobbly shifting herself forward. 1"...N-never."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> V-Ver-y.. W-well.
* Megumi stumbles toward her, slipping often.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains to breathe.
<Megumi> I do not want to... B-but... if it is the... only way..
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at Megumi.
* Megumi weakly forms a partial gauntlet of crystal over her left hand, crouching within perfectly well spring distance to Erevis.1 "...Sur.. render.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> N-No.
* Megumi springs striking with the gauntlet, for the head, but not face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets go of the ice and sinks back into the water.
* Megumi will strike into the water, she can't sink -that- fast!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs her gauntlet with her now free hand, and attempts to yank Megumi in.
* Megumi goes, but strikes with her other hand, gurgling in the water. Were they above water it would be something along the lines of "For freeeeedom!" ...maybe.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit, but she suddenly attempts to use Megumi as a springboard to kick up and onto the ice now, since she can't pull herself up.
* Megumi would allow herself to be pulled, but grips her grabbing hand with the one that struck her, yanking it so they move full-circle, driving up with her knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kicks at Megumi's face.
* Megumi takes it, grabbing the foot and pulling, striking with her other hand freed now as she releases more blood into the water.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes limp.
* Megumi waits until she can see Erevis' face, then forms her naginata and rams it into the ice above, yanking them both upward if needbe.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis so far does nothing.
* Megumi struggles and slides Erevis slowly out first before trying to get out.
<DeathStar> 6* So far no sneak attacks.
* Megumi pulls herself out onto the ice, coughing up a couple more trails of blood, heaving tremendously.
<DeathStar> 6* Still no sneak attacks.
* Megumi peers over Erevis, checking for signs of things, but her mind quickly tries to discern what the closest place they know is from here.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is laying there - very still. No sharp breathing, no shivering. Her skin tone has taken on an interesting shade of blue, however. And it feels as if the tempature is dropping even more.
* Megumi grabs Erevi's hand, draping her over her back, she attempts to warm them with friction to at least keep chilling to a minimum, but needs to use most of her focus just to get them moving toward... life.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays there - she apparantly has no heart beat. Either she's the best possum player in the world, or she swallowed some nice, icy water
<DeathStar> 6* She's picked up!
* Megumi curses and gets to ground where they won't fall back into water, setting her down quickly, shivering.
* Megumi listens, is good at that, for the heart again, before thwacking Erevis on the breastbone several times.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is thwacked.
* Megumi holds her hands together and presses firmly. She read it in a book damn it!
<Megumi> Come o-on, Erevis! C-come on!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be as uncorporative in drowning as she is at anything else.
* Megumi isn't sure what Erevis is wearing, but tugs it open and keeps at it, trying to warm her hands if nothing else.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is wearing her hood/cloak, over her tactical suit, which can be unzipped easily. If she does unzip it, she would see she has the crystal snowflake around her neck as well. Oh, and it appears she just wears the tactical suit.
* Megumi grabs Erevis a bit on the rough side and breathes into her mouth!
* Megumi breaks and goes back to presses. 1"Erevis!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly coughs up some water
<Megumi> Ah!
* Megumi leans and listens for her heart
<DeathStar> 6* It's beating again. Suddenly Erevis' right hand grabs the side of MEgumi's face. Seems someone doesn't realize what happened and is ready to continue.
<Megumi> /me breathes big before coughing more blood, rather loose in the grip.
* Megumi breathes big before coughing more blood, rather loose in the grip. "1Th-thank heavens..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and preseses Megumi toward the ground. "Do you surrender?"
<DeathStar> 6* She suddenly makes a surprised sound as her body shudders and her involuntarily lets go, her whole body shivering. "I cann--ot feel my hands...or feet..." 6* She notes in surprise.
<Megumi> ...Your heart h-had stopped...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A re.-regret...able....setback..
* Megumi strains, reaching over to grab her again intent on dragging her again, setting back to trying to keep them minimally warm.
<Megumi> I... h-have... to g-get us... s-somewhere... warm...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ou-our bat-abattle is no-not over..
* Megumi ignores her for the moment, needing to focus on movement, again trying to get to the closest place they would know.
<DeathStar> 6* Probably home.
* Megumi has an epiphany.
* Megumi moves for the freaking hot dog vendor. He's closest.
<DeathStar> 6* The hot dog vendor is indeed selling hotdogs.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I-Iinsis-t..you ce-cease...th-his...and fi-fight..
<Megumi> M-mister! H-help... us!
<DeathStar> 6* The hotdog eyes the two blue women, acting like they're Erusians. And one's chest is exposed! He gapes. "What the hell?"
<Megumi> T-too c-c-cold!
<DeathStar> <Vendor> D-Did you two go swimming in the lake?
<Megumi> W-we f-fell..
<DeathStar> <Vendor> W-What should I Do!?
<DeathStar> 6 He panicks.
<Megumi> C-call f-for help!
<DeathStar> <Vendor> I don't have a comm!
* Megumi once close, has what she wants, shifting already heating air from the burners and such to Erevis and her.
<Megumi> Th-then r-run... we c-cannot..!
<DeathStar> 6* The Vendor panicks and runs away
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains to breathe as she lays there, looking like she's about to pass out
* Megumi gets Erevis inside the stand, away from wind and as close as she can to the warm she's moving.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks consideribly worse now that all her energy is gone - she looks like she hasn't had a decent sleep or meal in days.
* Megumi is wheezing now, and hopes the guy is quick.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, in Vegas, the Vendor runs in a panick, looking for help
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I-I have re-read body war-warmth is-is go-good..i-in the-ese sit-uations--- We-we sh-should---
* Megumi nods slowly, drawing against her, but her attention is on making sure the burner heat is washed over them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises her hand to strike the victory blow now that Megumi is within distance
* Megumi kisses Erevis on the swollen cheek.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, momentarily baffled.
<Megumi> I h-hate to s-say it, Erevis, b-but...
* Megumi taps her chest. 1"...Y-you... u-uncon...-scious..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> D-D-Dea-Death is-n-not u-unco--..
* Megumi glares at Erevis very strongly. 1"D-death is n-not con...scious th-there...fore... it... is... un...con...scious..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glares back. "I-It-It is- n-not."
* Megumi just gives her a very disappointed look. 1"...I h-had to... w-wake... you..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You re-revived m-me.
<DeathStar> 6* The vendor runs back. "The hospital is on it's way!"
* Megumi hacks blood. 1"...Th-then we... w-will ask... h-help..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks too tired to talk suddenly.
<Megumi> Th-thanks... m-mister...
* Angela|StolenByMonkeys has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Vendor> We should get you out of those wet clothes. 6* He notes.
* Megumi looks to Erevis. 1"...I-if... it will... h-help.."
<DeathStar> <Vendor> Of course! I-I just don't have anything to cover you with
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems too weak to protest anything at this point. She's probably almost unconscious, making her argument moot anyway
<Megumi> ...Th-then p-please.
<DeathStar> <Vendor> Yes?
<Megumi> R-remove th-them..
<DeathStar> 6* The Vendor cries with joy inside, and starts with Erevis. She tries to kill him, but her body no longer moves.
* Megumi isn't wearing much to begin with, probably in her favor in this case.
<DeathStar> 6* The Vendor dances with joy inside, then removes Megumi's clothing. He throws his coat around her, since she looks younger.
* Megumi shifts to entirely moving the heat across Erevis then, wondering if the Vendor is bright enough to notice such things.
<DeathStar> 6* Vendor seems to be noticing other things.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, meanwhile, is evilly making Chii pick what she wants to wear, directing her to latest fashions and combinations
<DeathStar> 6* The EMTs finally arrive and begin to load the two onto stretchers, applying heating blankets to them both.
<Megumi> 6* Chii winds up gravitating toward items in blacks and greys anyway, seeming to have gotten used to straps, buckles, frills and fishnet.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina evilly picks out skimpy outfits whenever possible, and sexy lingere. A girl never knows!
<Megumi> I-is ..E-Erevis alright?"
<Megumi> 6* Chii makes no protests, aside from the usual complain about underwire bras.
<DeathStar> <EMT> We don't know. How do you feel. 6* He checks Megumi's eyes with a bright light as they load them onto the ambulance.
* Megumi practically hisses through her teeth, close to screaming.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, how are you liking this? 6* She picks out a cute pink for Chii, to be different.
<Megumi> G-grh!
<DeathStar> <EMT> Oh God, I think this one is seizuring.
<Megumi> L-light... hurts!
<DeathStar> 6* EMT grabs a shock paddle.
<DeathStar> <EMT> Ooooh. HA ha. Well, that's not good.
<Megumi> ..Th-that's normal..
* Megumi hacks up blood again.
<Megumi> <Chii> It's fun!" 6Twirls in pink.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors immediately see that all focus on MEgumi. She's clearly dying.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I told you. 6* She nods, buying Chii some mini-skirts, too.
* Megumi sighs and groans softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina buys some jeans, too, and a big coat for Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Oh, and some shoes.
<Megumi> 6* Chii winds up exiting one of these places in new shows, jeans, a fishnet shirt with a shorter black cotton over it, drapped in a big old coat!
<Megumi> <Chii> Isn't this a bit much, Katrina?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hmmm, I guess so.
<Megumi> 6She tries balancing the damn boxes, but it's becoming difficult.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, lets hit a few more places and head on home!
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED!-
Session Close: Mon Oct 29 08:02:49 2007

Session Start: Mon Oct 29 19:18:59 2007
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071029.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.12.4 - 1 day after last mini-
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* A curtain is pulled around Megumi's side of the room to give privacy to the other occupant.
* Megumi wouldn't know why, since she'd have been unconscious until this point anyway
* Megumi sits upright rather quickly-- A revelation that beholds the later consequence of of her voice carrying through half the ward. At the time she might have beared with it since she was fighting and numbing herself, but Erevis easily broke several of her ribs with the nice TK-like impact, among other things.
* Megumi shrieks utterly before keeling back over.
<Dias> 6Chad Winters steps into Megumi's room, a pair of shades on and a coat. He stares at Megumi.
* Dias crosses his arms, his eyebrow raising slightly.
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* Megumi lies back down fully, hissing through her teeth, one hand reaching up at seemingly nothing but the air, clenching at something not there.
<Chad`Winters> So now that you woke up the entire pysch ward, you feel better?
<Megumi> ... ...Mister Win... ters?
* Megumi winces for some reason. 1"...Why... H-how did ...you?"
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Chad`Winters has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> Well anytime a new patient is checked into the pysch ward, the fellows are talking.
<Megumi> ... I... s-see...
<Megumi> ..Is E-Ere...vis ...o- ..kay?
<Chad`Winters> She died kiddo. I hope it was worth it all. 6He glances up at the cieling.
* Megumi sits up quickly, opening her mouth, eyes widening to scream, but instead she bites down quickly, eyes watering as she hisses. 1"W-what!?"
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Chad`Winters
<Chad`Winters> Apparently not eating, fighting and then taking a dip in freezing water is deadly to a human body.
<Chad`Winters> Which is odd, since normally you're not supposed to swim until after you eat...6He taps his chin as he thinks deeply
* Megumi feels like screaming -anyway-, but refrains long enough to dart her head to the side, a brief gaze to the curtain giving her a sense for the ring she heard scraping a few moments earlier. She reaches her hand out but can't quite reach, leaning to do so. "1Sh-she... w-was alive..." Then falls off, clutching the curtain and ripping it from the ceiling with her body weight dropping.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans in the doorway. "I see you haven't lost your sense of humor, Winters." 6* As Megumi brings down the curtain, she would see Erevis in the other bed, an oxygen mask on her face, and an IV into her right arm. Her left arm is in a cast, it would seem, to keep her from moving the arm in her sleep. She appears ... well, quite alive.
<Chad`Winters> Poor girl was dead for 3 minutes until they revived her...6He looks over at Warren. 1"Warren.
* Megumi cries sharply as she hits the ground, despite relief, she's in a ton of pain from that brilliant maneuver, her unpinned hand clutching at her side as she struggles to get off the cracked ribs.
<Chad`Winters> And they love is beautiful Warren. 6He tilts his head as if swooning.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks over and picks up Megumi, grunting as his stomach protests. He dumps her back onto the bed, then grabs his pill bottle and pulls out a vicodin, popping it into her mouth forcefully.
* Chad`Winters glances at Warren. 1"Pain pills, ahead of schedule I see."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'd be glad to shoot you in the stomach and see how you manage your pain.
* Megumi blinks several times, one eye cinching shut as she dropped back onto her own bed. She goes to speak, but the sarcasm between the two others keeps her quiet.
<Chad`Winters> I'll pass, I like my stomach the wait it is.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: way
* Ariel looks into the room, "...still, you probally shouldn't be giving patients medicine."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans on his cane, staring at Ariel. "Okay, Mom. Spit it back out." 6* He holds his hand out in front of Megumi's mouth.
* Megumi frowns slightly, obediently holding the pill out on her tongue, eyes trained on Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes the pill, then pops it into his own mouth, swallowing. "Happy?"
* Chad`Winters glances at Ariel. 1"Here to put them both on time-out?"
<Megumi> ...Hahn.... ahn...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Suffer through the pain. It's character building.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes a seat next to Megumi's bed now.
* Megumi closes her eyes slowly, clawing at the bed. 1"...M-miss... kni-knight."
<Ariel> "Hello Megumi..." *steps over* "How are you doing?"
<Megumi> L-Love--ly... H-how are you..?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reads off her medical chart. "Broken ribs..." 6* He flips the page, still going.
* Megumi opens one eye, peering resentfully at Warren. Sometimes it's hard to tell if he's there to support or fester.
<Chad`Winters> Does it mention delusionary?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren studies the chart. "No."
* Chad`Winters moves over and pulls out a pen, filling it in.
<Ariel> "I'm not sure I really want the details of what happened..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Thank you, Doctor Id. 6* He puts the chart back.
<Chad`Winters> I figured you were too high to right properly. 6He looks over at Ariel. 1"Lover's quarrel."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren casual reads Erevis' chart now.
* Megumi closes her eyes, unable to stare at the ceiling due to the lights. 1"...S-sor...ry... Ariel." 6Rarely calls her by her name!
<Chad`Winters> Is she pregnant? We were hoping for a boy. 6He looks over at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers over the chart at Chad, then back at the chart. He grunts.
<Ariel> "...I won't judge you Megumi. We've had enough trouble because of that... but what did Erevis do to deserve this?"
<Chad`Winters> W-wait. Is that a yes grunt or a no grunt. I was only kidding.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Chad with a pitying look, then puts the chart back up. He stands up and walks out in a hurry.
<Megumi> ..D-de...serve...?
<Megumi> That... was... not...
* Chad`Winters grimaces. 1"Great..."
<Chad`Winters> If you want Warren, I could hook Erevis' morphine into you, I mean she is passed out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is gone.
* Angela|StolenByMonkeys has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Angela|StolenByMonkeys has joined #taw
* Megumi slowly reaches down, placing a few fingers near her ribs, pressing and twisting. The reaction sets her eyes open widely and her mouth agape, but afterwards, her eyes set half-lidded but focused in comparison.
* Chad`Winters looks at Megumi. 1"Oooh, possible brain damage. Interesting."
<Megumi> ...It was... not about deserving... miss knight.
<Ariel> "No... maybe not..." *she sighs* "I know this isn't my place to be involved, but... with what happened to Erevis..."
<Chad`Winters> Wow, abridge version. She was mad because Erevis kissed her because she wanted to be kissed and called Erevis a lier. And in a jealous fit of emotional stupidity. Beat the snot out of her on a lake.
<Megumi> ...
* Megumi stares at Chad, frowning slightly. Some of it's correct, but parts have been left out. Why the hell would she beat Erevis up out if anger alone?
<Chad`Winters> The whole love me or I'll beat you up thing...Wait, didn't that tactic not work on someone else? 6He scratches his chin as he looks at Megumi
<Megumi> If it were as simple as that, Mister Winters... I do not believe you would have allowed me to wake up.
<Chad`Winters> Hey, if you want to confess your love by beating your significant other up, by all means, beat her up.
* Megumi closes her eyes, not dignifying that with an answer. She's beginning to realize it's too easy to get her to childishly retort at things. 1"Please leave."
* Angela|StolenByMonkeys is now known as Angela
* Chad`Winters moves over to Erevis' side of the room and leans in, reading the charts.
* Chad`Winters let's out a low whistle as he eyes a chart.
<Ariel> "...so why did you get into a fight with Erevis, Megumi?"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Ariel as if she's deaf.
<Megumi> I refused to accept assumption for truth. Much like I will die before I allow her to, I will not allow her to seal herself away again, hiding behind the facade of Progenitor understanding.
<Ariel> "So... you attacked her?"
<Chad`Winters> Apparently she watched old security logs of Xan beating her up.
* Megumi shakes her head slightly.
<Megumi> I would not let her ignore me and throw everything away.
<Megumi> I allowed her to create the terms, and I followed through.
* Angela steps into Megumi's hospital room, looking about.
<Megumi> ...
* Megumi stares a bit.
<Angela> "Good gods, I said confront, not fight."
<Chad`Winters> Fractured left radiius, bruised ribs, torn biceps brachii, torn triceps brachii, bruised brachioradials...
<Angela> "Yikes."
<Megumi> I do not need more people here with the mere intent of opening wounds.
* Chad`Winters looks up at Angela. 1"Oh good, you got my message. And that's only page one."
<Angela> "I'm hurt Meg, after I tried helping you close them too."
* Megumi just reaches back and covers her eyes with her left arm, convinced that most of the people present are just here to rub everything in.
<Chad`Winters> Hey, wait she's not pregnant. Warren was lieing...
* Angela sits by her, "I'd hug you but I might break something."
* Chad`Winters lifts his sunglasses up as he looks real close at a page. 1"I don't even know what this word means. That can't be good."
<Megumi> Nothing that is not already broken or crushed by Mister Winters.
* Angela moves over and takes a peak. "Oooo Winters, that's a bad one."
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure she'll recover from it, eventually.
<Angela> "Maybe, those don't grow back very fast, I was taught to break those if I really hated someone."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Megumi. 1"So, did you know she was already beaten up before you fought her, or did you plan to beat her when she was already weakened and thus secure your victory?"
<Angela> "A crafty tactic."
* Megumi ignores the two, and since Ariel has gone silent, just turns to her good side.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks in with flowers, setting them up beside Megumi's bed. "Hey, you."
* Angela eyes the flowers.
* Megumi 's ear twitches slightly, recognizing the voice. 1"...Miss McCormick, too?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I got a memo saying you were in the hospital.
<Megumi> ...From who? It is starting to seem as if it is advertised to come and kick me.
* SPoC has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Megumi> <Chii> That might be fun in of itself..
<Angela> "It may have been."
* SPoC is now known as Chad`Winters
<Chad`Winters> Chad`Winters looks at Kat. "Just in time, I needed someone to build her back up so I can tear her down again.
* Angela smiles at Chii.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: BAKA!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not sure. The person did--oh, it was Chad.
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm proud of you, runt, though you missed a spot. It seems like her legs and left arm are still alright.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slides Ariel aside so she can sit beside Megumi, crossing her legs and folding her hands. "How you holding up?"
* Megumi groans and claws at the bed with her right hand. 1"I am thinking I should have remained comatose."
<Megumi> It does not make me feel any better that this may repeat itself.
* Chad`Winters eyes Chii, luckily his sunglasses hide his look of hatred.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Repeat itself?
<Chad`Winters> You plan on calling Erevis a liar again?
<Megumi> <Chii> You're going to finish the job, or something?
<Megumi> ...Unless I can convince her that her 'death' constitutes the equivalent of being unconscious, she does not consider this over.
* Angela closes her eyes, sighing gently.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That sounds like her. 6* She fakes a smile.
<Megumi> Ugh...
<Megumi> <Chii> I would say the stubborness is one of a kind, but it seems you both possess it.
* Chad`Winters eyes his datapad and than glances out at the doorway
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats Megumi's head. "Still, fighting on the ice? Never a good idea."
<Megumi> ...I did not exactly choose it.
<Megumi> It worked to her advantage, even.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh?
<Megumi> ...I was barely injured until she took things below the surface.
<Megumi> Strange... ability..
<Chad`Winters> Really? Tell me more. 6He slides his glasses up.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Chad
* Angela keeps her eyes closed, possibly asleep.
<Megumi> I do not know much more.
<Megumi> She did not have to touch me, nor did it seem like anything I would have expected of the Progenitor after encountering it inside...
<Megumi> ...Hurt... lots..
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Interesting. Telekenetics?
<Megumi> ...I thought she had lost them..
<Megumi> I cannot attest to it being anything else I am aware of, though.
<Chad`Winters> Give me a play by play. 6He moves a chair over and sits down
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Chad.
<Megumi> ...Why?
<Chad`Winters> I'm curious.
* Megumi lifts her arm, squinting at Katrina for some resemblance of sense to this turn of events.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He thrieves on battle knowledge.
<Chad`Winters> It's a guilty pleasure of mine. 6Shrugs innocently
<Megumi> <Chii> Maybe you should indulge him so he can go back to his hobby.
<Megumi> ...I do not care about this right now..
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina unconsciously moves Chii around to her other side furthest from Chad
<Megumi> 6* Chii complies, but eyes Katrina all the while, wondering what that was about. She was content in the doorway.
<Chad`Winters> I'll get you a cookie. 6He offers her.
* Megumi shifts her arm, looking over at him in a good deal of resentment.
<Chad`Winters> Oh come now, it's just water under the bridge. 6He tilts his head at her.
<Megumi> ...Whatever. I still do not know much more. She struck herself in the chest and it seemed to have an explosive effect, but not of fire. I only felt as though I were hit by a shockwave from an imaginary source.
<Chad`Winters> Interesting. 6He leans back, thinking deeply.
<Megumi> Enough to knock me clear out of water up to ten feet and five to ten of the air thereafter.
<Megumi> <Chii> She used herself as an impact point?
* Angela shakes her head, betraying her sleepy look.
<Megumi> <Chii> You're both rock-headed and resort to self-injury to accomplish things, okami. Even I'm not that much of a masochist.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies the unconscious Erevis
<Megumi> <Chii> If she had been fighting beforehand, then I don't feel too guilty for throwing the brat around, huh.
<Chad`Winters> You should be proud of yourself Megumi. Not many people can beat up a weakened person.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up. "Well, you rest, Megumi. I'll check on you again later."
<Megumi> I cannot rest.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't make me tell your doctor to give you something to knock you out.
<Megumi> Once these irritances leave, I am going to heal Erevis.
<Megumi> <Chii> Who's irritating?
<Chad`Winters> You're just going to hurt her pride. 6He slides his glasses on and looks up at the corner of the cieling
* Angela pats Meg on the head and gets up, walking out.
<Chad`Winters> But...Since you pretty much hurt her body, might as well stomp on that last piece of dignity she has.
<Megumi> Then what do you expect me to do, you unhelpful parasite?
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm the parasite.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina decides to just slink away while they argue.
<Megumi> 6* Chii dusts herself off and follows Katrina.
<Chad`Winters> Do whatever you want. 6He leans back.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Drake panicly drives a bus that will explode if it goes under 50.
<Megumi> According to you, everything I do is wrong. Regardless of anything, I am always wrong.
<Chad`Winters> I'm an optimistic pessimist. Plus not liking you helps. 6He stands up.
<Megumi> You do not like anything besides Little Aya.
* Megumi narrows her eyes at Chad. 1"And Erevis."
<Chad`Winters> Does that make you mad? 6He looks at her now, his dark glasses staring deeply.
<Megumi> Your cryptic way of showing things, does.
<Chad`Winters> You going to beat me to death too?
<Megumi> Why would I?
<Chad`Winters> I follow the pattern. 6He turns, moving towards the door.
<Megumi> For once, Mister Winters, you might try understanding me before you assume to know how I think. Clearly, you do not.
<Chad`Winters> Maybe, maybe not. I do know that people don't change, just the circumstances around them. 6He steps outside, moving off to pick up Aya.
* Megumi hrmphs. 1"Knows nothing."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waits in the hallway alone, having sent Chii on an errand. "Something you want to talk about, Chad?"
<Chad`Winters> I'm just curious to know how you're doing. 6He stops, looking over at Kat.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm fine. It's you I'm concerned about. That was some strong feelings you were giving off in there.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slides her fingers into her jean pockets as she studies Chad.
<Megumi> 6Chii stands scrutinously before a vending machine... Agonizing over what kind of drink Katrina would like, since she had agreed to retrieve it before actually being told what.
<Chad`Winters> Fine? You watched Shiva die in your own arms. You're not fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's face flashes with some pain, but she hides it well. "And you clearly got some anger issues about Aya's experience with death."
<Chad`Winters> You can't deflect, only I can deflect. 6He crosses his arms.
* Megumi has quit IRC (Quit: )
<DeathStar> <Katrina> At least my anger and sadness isn't being deflected toward someone here.
* Chad`Winters takes a deep breathe, letting it out. 1"It must've been hard. To lose something you cared about so deeply and feel so helpless. The void that left behind, it's not easy to fill is it Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans until she's face to face with Chad. "Learn to deal with your own fucking problems, Chad, for once, and quit shifting your feelings aside to study others." 6* She walks off.
* Megumi has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters huffs and turns, moving off down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his cane as Chad walks by.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I guess Cran should have given you lessons in women. 6* He notes, throwing up a pill and catches it, swallowing.
<Chad`Winters> A shame he was taken away so quickly. 6He stops, looking over at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts at that.
<Chad`Winters> You're worse than a voyeur with a camera. 6He notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his cane, staring at Chad, clearly unimpressed.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah that one was weak. I must be all out of mean. 6He glances down at his datapad.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hard to imagine.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina passes Chii. "Come on."
<Chad`Winters> So you have something to say than? 6He looks at him
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his cane. "Nope."
<Megumi> <Chii> "Eh? What about your--" 6She feels something off and pauses the question, looking after Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks mad.
<Chad`Winters> And here I was hoping for one of those heart to hear talks. 6He turns to go.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: heart
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing, looking the other way down the hallway.
<Megumi> 6Chii scratches her cheek slightly and follows Katrina in a bit of a daze.
* Angela leans against a wall, settling next to Warren. "You've been busy."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Angela. "Who are you?"
* Angela looks at him. "Your ward."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Whatever. I have my own vigilante family these days, why not add another.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains blissfully unconscious
<Angela> "Thanks for that, by the way."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Marcus` passes by Warren and Angela, hands shoved in his pocket, eyes set as he continues for Megumi's room.
* Angela nods at Marcus as he passes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ignores Marcus as he passes.
* Marcus` flicks his eyes towards Angela and Warren, he smiles and winks at Angela before shifting around the corner to stand in the doorway to Erevis and Megumi's room. "So you really kicked the shit out of her?"
* Chad`Winters steps into the room Aya's in.
<Angela> "I had a question."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is gone. A letter is there with letters crudely cut out of a magazine. "I HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER. IF U WANT HER BACK, U WILL DO AS I SAY. AWAIT MY PHONE CALL."
<DeathStar> <Warren> When you get a new one, let me know.
* Chad`Winters glances around then grabs the letter, eyeing it
<Angela> "Sure, how does she know me?"
<Megumi> ...I would not put it that way.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "How would you put it?" he shifts over to Erevis' bedside, staring down at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, then hands Angela a magazine. "Hold that. I'll be back." 6* He steps into the men's bathroom.
* Megumi peers at Marcus, lying on her own exam bed. 1"...Have you come baring salt as well?"
* Angela eyes the magazine.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's comm beeps.
<Marcus`> Baring salt? I don't have any salt.
* Chad`Winters taps his comm.
<DeathStar> 6* A disguised voice speaks. "Listen carefully. If you ever want to see your daughter again, you will do exactly as I say."
* Chad`Winters steps out of the room, he looks down both ways. 1"Uh huh..."
* Marcus` pauses and pulls up a lemon. "I have a lemon, that'd be kinda painful in a wound."
* Megumi seems to have reverted, or at least doesn't find that humorous, with her empty stare.
* Chad`Winters eyes Angela with a magazine in her hand. He moves down towards her.
<DeathStar> <Disguised Voice> You will not be able to locate me. 6* He keeps his comm completely traceable. "I am will hidden and you will never find me."
<Chad`Winters> And what do you want from me? 6He stops infront of Angela, and looks at the magazine in her hands.
<DeathStar> 6* The voice quits talking as soon as Chad reaches Angela.
* Marcus` frowns. "Well you're no fun."
* Angela yawns a bit.
* Chad`Winters stops infront of her, he see's letter's missing from the magazine. He then studies Angela.
<Chad`Winters> You normally read magazines after cutting letters out of it?
<Angela> "Only after Warren gives them to me."
* Angela looks up at him boredly.
* Chad`Winters grabs the magazine. 1"Where'd he go?"
<Angela> "Bathroom."
<Chad`Winters> Thanks. 6He moves to the bathroom, stepping inside.
<DeathStar> 6* The men's bathroom appears empty, except for one stall that's closed.
<DeathStar> <Disguised Voice> You are not to check the last stall.
* Marcus` walks around Erevis' bed to step up beside Megumi's bed. He sits down in the chair besider her and sets his eyes upon her. "How do you feel? Do you feel better?"
* Chad`Winters moves to the last stall and he tries pushing it open with his leg.
<DeathStar> 6* It opens and he finds Aya sitting there, with a lolipop.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hi, Daddy!
<Chad`Winters> The boy's bathroom, huh? 6He looks at her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I was told to wait here.
<Chad`Winters> And who told you that? 6He moves over to her, holding his hand out to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya takes her hand. "A woman."
<Chad`Winters> Blonde woman?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shakes her head.
<Chad`Winters> Oh he's good. 6He leads her outside.
* Angela gets up and stretches.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya steps out. Meanwhile, down the hallway, Warren approaches, seemingly coming from a whole new sector.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren comes to a stop, eyeing all of them.
* Angela eyes Aya, then looks down at Warren, she just shrugs and heads out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches her go.
<DeathStar> <Disguised Voice> Now, let us continue our negotations. You have Aya now, but if you do not give into my demands, there will be consequences.
<Chad`Winters> Any idea why someone would kidnap Aya and hide her in the bathroom from me? 6He looks at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tilts his head toward Chad's comm.
<Megumi> ...Do I feel any better...?
* Angela stops, turns and looks at Warren again.
* Megumi winces, putting a hand to her forward. 1"No, I cannot say I do. Physically, Erevis broke me quite well in the last few bouts."
* Chad`Winters blinks, than glances around, than at Warren. A slightly stunned look on his face.
<Marcus`> Mentally.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks confused. "What?"
<Chad`Winters> Oh you're good.
<Megumi> Otherwise, I am troubled by the fact that I may need to fight her again.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren blinks. "What a nice compliment, Chad."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back into HQ.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hangs from the cieling, tangled in ropes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers upward at Dias.
<Megumi> 6Chii closes the door behind them.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Maybe you should just quit. Accept that you've tried but fighting will only lead to death.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh thank god. I need some help Kat.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> On multiple levels.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Angela staring at him.
<Megumi> <Chii> The hell did you do n--...No, never mind.
* Angela walks back over towards Warren.
<Megumi> ...I cannot.
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of hos nose and he taps his comm, mouthing why not. 1"And what are your demands..."
* Ariel looks over from Erevis' side of the room. "...it won't do you any good of one or both of you die."
<Marcus`> Ariel's right. Xan never injured Erevis this much. *he motions to Erevis*
* Megumi scratches at her face slightly. 1"..."
<Angela> "I'll try again... Why help me?"
<DeathStar> <Disguised Voice> I want you to say one nice thing to ten people you know personally.
<DeathStar> <Warren> How insidious. 6* He notes in awe
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ok, let's just say hypothetically speaking I tried to set a trap for Marcus and Angela and it back fired...
<Megumi> I did not want to, but I...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And what do I get if I let you down?
<Chad`Winters> And why would I want to do that?
<DeathStar> <Disguised Voice> Because I have all of Aya's toys held at gunpoint.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'd hug you.
* Angela sighs, crrossing her arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gasps.
* Megumi frowns. 1"...I left the terms to Erevis, so that she would accept the outcome."
* Marcus` glances at Ariel, then looks to Megumi. "And since when did the stubborn Erevis know what is good for her?"
<DeathStar> <Disguised Voice> And your copy of Gone with the Wind.
* Chad`Winters eyes Warren, narrowing his eyes behind his glasses.
<Megumi> Please do not remind me.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *feigns shock*
<Megumi> Even now she will not accept the results unless I can convince her that not being conscious is the same as being unconscious.
* Marcus` stares. "Perhaps she will not accept the results simply because she does not want to."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think I'll leave you there.
* Chad`Winters clicks his comm off. 1"Aya, let's go on a road trip."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yaaay!@
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh come on...
* Chad`Winters scoops her up and he moves off to to leave the hospital.
* Megumi glares at Marcus. 1"Make up your mind. I thought I was listening to others' advice and things have gotten worse. She kissed me because of the very reasons I did not want, knowing that I have told her not to?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, Chii, what should we do now? 6* She turns her back to Dias
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> PLEASE?!
* Marcus` shrugs. "Women are complicated."
<Megumi> "I am delusional? She wears the trinkets I made her because they are fashionable?"
<Marcus`> They are pretty. *he shrugs again*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Angela now.
* Angela glances back at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the time, then walks off.
<Megumi> <Chii> Well, now that we have a target we could play darts.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. Do we have darts?
<Angela> "Right. Whatever."
* Angela sighs and turns, heading out herself.
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm not sure, but there's knives and forks in the kitchen.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I wouldn't want to ruin what we eat with.
<Megumi> 6Chii rubs her lip with her finger, shrugging. 1"True."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's not even funny.
<Megumi> <Chii> We could act like he's not there and make out on the couch?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *shrugs* Okayt.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> EH! EH! 6He grunts as he tries to swing around to face the couch
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over to the couch, laying down on it.
<Ariel> "Megumi... at this point... I think you need to keep in mind more than how you feel. You need to keep the cost in mind."
<Ariel> "...how far will you push this before you stop?"
<Megumi> 6Chii grins and follows her. Apparently while they were out, she gained a pair of jeans and a fishnet shirt and some other stuff. She drops the boxes beside the table and preys Katrina.
* Marcus` crosses his arms. "Erevis died. Seconds away from being dead forever."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes sure to make moaning sounds for Dias' benefit
<Angela> * Jennifer stealths through the main room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias wiggles his hand into his pocket and manages to pull out a camera. He begins fidgeting around as he twists here and there to tape.
<Megumi> Fine. I will return to Famfrit as soon as I have healed Erevis.
<Ariel> "...what?"
<Megumi> Will that make you all happy? Will that silence everyone's criticism? I do not understand it anymore. Push and pull, I am told to grow up, act like I look, follow my feelings, ignore them.
* Marcus` smiles. "Hm. This is funny."
<Ariel> "......."
* Ariel closes her eyes, steading herself a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* THUNK. Comes from the doorway to Megumi's room
* Marcus` slowly peers to the thunk.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: HQ?
<Megumi> <Chii> Should I, Katrina?
<DeathStar> NRP: hospital
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly twists out and drops, hanging from his foot now, he sways back and foot.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, with his cane pressed against the doorframe. "Funny. And here I thought you would want to be there for when the big battle came with the Dark Ones to protect Erevis and the others." 6* He notes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Go ahead.
<Megumi> 6Chii gazes up at Dias devilishly, her finger and a series of runic lines converging on the rope remaining. With Katrina's okay, she snaps, setting off a tiny black flame on it, snapping the rope.
<Ariel> "Well Megumi... let me put it this way. You have destroyed something very dear to me, possibly beyond salvation. You have killed taken the life away from one member of my family, even if for a few moments. And you're COMPLAINING that you're being told to think and act more carefully?"
<Ariel> NRP: - killed
* Marcus` arches a brow and stands up, sliding towards Warren. "I don't want to be in the middle of this."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren removes his cane so Marcus can go, then drives his cane back against the doorframe.
<Megumi> I never said I would go to Famfrit in the intention of hiding away.
* Marcus` stands just inside, not leaving, but a bit away from Warren, he crosses his arms. "I'm still going to watch."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes his cane and shoves Marcus out, closing the door in his face.
* Marcus` shrugs, he can still hear. He leans against the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren casually puts a device that uses the high pitch hearing of dogs, and activates it, pressing it against the door
<Megumi> I am the only one of my kind that seems to be as cursed as the star consuming our world. I am, however, aware of what is going on, to however small degree. If people will see me for nothing more than an uncontrollable tyrant, as they see fit to make clear to me, then I can use that.
* Marcus` winces and falls over.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shuts it off.
* Marcus` twitches.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias falls the remaining 7 feet, a sickening popping nose being heard when he hits the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers over the couch at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lies on his side, his right arm hanging limply. He presses his head against the floor in pain.
* Marcus` picks himself up, dusting himself off. "I hate you." He growls, knowing Warren can hear him.
<Megumi> So I am insane... I have already destroyed the divergent sect of my homeworld's exodus... I am sure a rogue like myself can find a way to intimidate the remainder of our capables into assisting with the elimination of the dark ones. We are good at that, right? And -I- am the worthless one with no talent.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his cane, then the back of Megumi's head, then his cane.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think he's hurt, Chii.
<Chad`Winters> 6Warren's comm beeps
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sighs and clicks it on.
<Megumi> <Chii> Amazing. To think it was that easy.
<Chad`Winters> <C> I didn't know you enjoyed The Young and the Beautiful.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shifts the comm, grunting. "Are you in my house?"
* Ariel eyes Megumi, not sure what to say about all this
<DeathStar> 6* Warren swings his cane and hits Megumi in the back of the head.
<Chad`Winters> <C> Ooops, I hit the wrong button. 6There's a shuffle noise. 1"Aya, what did I say about painting on Warren's bed?"
* Megumi jerks forward, consequently flexing her stomach and clicking nerves about her ribs again-- Screaming quite ferociously.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans on his cane. "Hold on one moment." 6* He mutes the comm, then eyes Megumi. "If you talk stupid, you're going to feel stupid."
* Marcus` whistles as he strolls out of the hospital now.
* Megumi grinds her teeth, glaring at Warren through one eye as the other squints.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls onto his back, his eyes staring up at the cieling.
<Megumi> <Chii> How the hell did you get tied to the ceiling, anyway?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren points at Megumi. "Quit acting like a child. You fought Erevis. Fine. You did it, and accept it. If you're going to go complain about what others think of your actions, then you shouldn't make any actions and merely be content to let others dictate what you should or should not do."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't care what you do, as long as you do something of your own violation. IF you want to go to Famfrit, don't whine because it's from all the crap people throw at you."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren unmutes his comm now. "Quit touching my shit."
<Chad`Winters> <C> I don't negotiate with terrorists. 6The comm clicks off
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the comm. He grabs his datapad and activates his inner defense system.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren calmly pockets the datapad and motions for Ariel to say something.
* Megumi grips at the sheet, her knuckles paling slightly. 1"I am not acting like a ch--!" 6Pause. She stares Warren, speechless as she actually digests the words.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Oww...6He opts to just lay there in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets Dias some alcohol.
* Ariel shrugs to Warren, "You have a better grasp on this than I do."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren points at the cane, then Ariel's head.
<Megumi> ...You... are not going... to tell me I was... wrong..?
<DeathStar> <Warren> And be repetitive? 6* Rolls his eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes himself up with his good arm, he eyes the beer than Kat as if expecting some sort of trick.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a swallow, then hold it out
* Chad`Winters pulls up outside of Erevis' home and he moves towards the door with Aya.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everyone does something that some agree with or disagree with. I'm not going to bother with judging you. Out loud. 6* He rubs the side of his head. "But if you act like a big baby and throw a hissy fit because not everyone agrees with you, then I have a problem." 6* Warren sits beside Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* A package is on the front door.
* Marcus` steps into HQ finally, sliding his coat off and hanging it up. He glances at Chii on the couch, then looks to Katrina. He moves into the kitchen after that.
* Megumi frowns slightly, but looks away in passing decision. She looks over after a while of silence, then nods once. 1"I understand, Mister Carmichael."
* Chad`Winters leans over and picks up the box, eyeing it
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs the beer and takes it, sniffing it. He eyes Kat again, then takes a drink.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And you - you need to learn how to try the whole communication thing. Because I hate talking. People will never respect or understand you if you're not vocal about what you feel, instead of letting others do the talking for you.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says to Ariel, gets up, and walks out.
<Jackieness> NRP: Night night
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Megumi> NRP: Buh bai super sneaky Jackie.
<DeathStar> 6* It's addressed to Chad.
* Chad`Winters slides out a knife and he cuts it open. He then opens the box, looking inside.
<DeathStar> 6* The head of Warren the lion is there.
* Ariel sighs. Warren's right... but she can't help but be divided on this issue.
<Megumi> ..Then...
* Chad`Winters glances at Aya.
* Megumi peers at Ariel. 1"...I must convince Erevis that she was unconscious."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Chad.
<Megumi> I do not wish to fight her, hurt her, again.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets him drink. She pokes her head into the kitchen to see if Jennifer is getting into trouble.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gets up, his left arm hanging limply. He downs the beer and crushes the can.
<Megumi> 6Chii clicks through the holovid.
<Ariel> "Technically, wouldn't she have been the moments before she died?" *bitter*
* Marcus` is leaning against the counter, drinking milk from the jug. He pauses and eyes Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Marcus.
<Chad`Winters> It's nothing. 6He taps his comm.
* Marcus` lowers the milk. "I think she's retarded." He motions to Jen. He changes the subject of the milk.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises her fist, looking mad. She throws a punch for Marcus' head. "YOU DISGUSTING PIG."
<Megumi> ...Yes, that is likely true. If she does not accept that, however... Perhaps I should speak with a doctor or a nurse to get their opinion on the not conscious is unconscious...
<Angela> * Jen eyes Marcus from the couch, where she's watchign Holovid.
* Marcus` drops down, the wind from her punch causes his hair to flow. "Heeeey now."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws a kick for his chest.
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks, and hops away from the couch, sliding toward the kitchen to witness why Katrina is shouting.
* Marcus` pulls up the milk, she would kick it and cause it to splode, going everywhere.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws a punch at Marcus' gut as the milk rains down in slow-mo
<Ariel> "If it keeps something like this from happening again..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes snap open finally.
<Chad`Winters> <C> I am not saying 10 nice things Warren.
* Marcus` shifts his right hand from the...right...aiming for Katrina's hand, aiming to knock it off course. He also twists, to help dodge.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren speaks into the comm. "I fear that there will be more casualities."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina brings her knee into his dodging path
<Chad`Winters> <C> You wouldn't dare.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I will rain stuffing down on you in a whirlwind of stuffing that you have never before witnesses.
* Marcus` presses off from the cabinet, flying into the knee with his chest, the slight sound of a grunt can be heard as he attempts to tackle Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is tackled onto the wet floor.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Have you ever heard the sound of cheap thread tearing. Being pulled to the point it suddenly snaps? It makes this...sound.
<Marcus`> Damn you're good. *he says, laying on top of her, he arches his brow, staring into her eyes.* All this over some milk, eh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I swallowed a hair yesterday. 6* She brings her knee up for his groin
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to panic at the oxygen mask, and she tears it off, coughing.
<Angela> * Jen sighs and changes the channel. Pretending they aren't there.
* Megumi jerks her head to the side, blinking.
<Megumi> Erevis!
* Ariel turns around quickly, moving over to Erevis side.
* Marcus` was leaving himself over for this, he squeezes his legs together quickly to stop the attack. "I assure you that's the first time i've did that." He shifts to get off of her.
* Chad`Winters clenches his fist and he shuts the comm off.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets up, then swipes her feet around Marcus' tripping him.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Well, this is entertaining.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes breaths, coughing some. She peers at Ariel first, since she's closest, trying to focus on her. "Hello, Ariel. I was unaware you were coming over." 6* She coughs again
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the room, seeing Kat and Marcus fight. 1"...Anyone have any pain pills?"
* Marcus` falls onto his ass, laughing. "You're telling me. Let's keep going."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I wouldn't want to hurt you, Shaggy.
* Marcus` pulls himself up, dusting himself off. "Billy stabbed me in the shoulder because she felt like it. And I just smiled. You think you can really hurt me?"
<Chad`Winters> Road trip. 6He turns moving back to the car with AYa.
<Megumi> 6Chii eyes Dias oddly. 1"You're really hurt from that tiny fall?"
<Ariel> "You should keep the mask on Erevis... it's there to help you."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. 6* She handsprings to her feet.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not like it.
* Marcus` shrugs and motions. "Then come'on darlin. Show me pain."
<Ariel> "Sometimes we endure things we don't like."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts her stance, driving a punch for Marcus' chest.
<Angela> * Jen turns up the volume.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers straight into Jen's eyes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ever fall down wrong?
* Megumi peers to Ariel for that statement, but says nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes a face at that
<Megumi> <Chii> Yes, many times. It just seems strange that you of all things would be harmed like that. After trading blows with altered beats, dark ones, Marcus and the brat, a short fall? Lame.
<Angela> * Jen looks back at her. "Hi."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Your soul smells like strawberries.
* Marcus` steps forward with his left foot, pulling his left hand up to catch Katrina's punch, using his weight and the momentum of the step to negate Katrina's momentum and possible force some back on her. He learned from Adam to never remain on the defense.
<Angela> Jen> "I wash it regularly."
<Megumi> <Chii> But there should be some things Cass hid under the left corner of her bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina seemed to want that, her being caught. Suddenly her knee is following up for the real strike.
* Marcus` gets hit in the gut, he coughs slightly, doubling over. "Ooh damn." A smile slides to his face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have a weak shoulder. Leave me alone. 6He glances around then slams his shoulder into the entryway to the kitchen, another popping noise is heard.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina brings her cupped fists down on Marcus' back.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Can I carve it out?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy raises a butcher knife
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head to look over at Megumi.
<Megumi> ...
* Marcus` gets the double fist to the back, he falls slightly but catches himself, his knee bent slightly. "Not yet, darlin."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina brings her knee up for his face.
<Angela> Jen> "No thanks."
* Ariel rests a hand on Erevis' shoulder, "You need to get better Erevis. You've been unconscious a long time..." She can't bring herself to mention the dead part. She still feels that.
* Marcus` jerks his left forearm up to take the hit, then twists and brings a palm upward for her chin, much like an uppercut.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wanders off.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans her head back, bringing her fist around for his jaw.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis forces her gaze to break from Megumi to Ariel. "I was unconscious...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ahhh, much better. 6He rotates his shoulder.
* Marcus` tilts his head to the right, shifting his already risen right arm to fall down and lock onto Katrina's, shifting forward and aiming to throw her down with the use of offcentering her weight and a well placed leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Sorry, loser, but Katrina is LEFTHANDED
<Marcus`> NRP: I think you made that up!
<DeathStar> NRP: Always has been. Ask Chad.
<Ariel> NRP: She's left handed
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *nods*
<Ariel> NRP: Always has been
<Marcus`> NRP: Please specify for me next time. I'll change it.
* Marcus` tilts his head to the right, shifting his already risen right arm to fall down in an elbow for Katrina's right shoulder, his attention still on her arm slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus tilts his head right --- into a left handed thrown punch
<Marcus`> NRP: fuck I forgot to change that one part.
<DeathStar> NRP: GOT YOU!
* Marcus` takes the punch and slides back a few steps, he shakes his head. "Hmm. Dias I think she's better than me."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sucks in her breath, bouncing in place.
<Ariel> "You've been out... about a day."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Obviously. 6He tilts his head to the side as he stretches his left arm out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, a slight smile. "I lost." 6* She murmurs, falling asleep again
* Marcus` smiles, a bit of blood at the edge of his lip, nothing major. "Wonderful. More." he motions.
* Chad`Winters steps into Megumi and Erevis' room, Aya beside him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina dashes, then jumps onto the kitchen counter, throwing a kick out for Marcus' head.
* Ariel pats Erevis' shoulder, and gently puts the mask back on. She needs it when she's asleep at least.
* Marcus` arches a brow, watching the kick come in towards him, he pulls himself back, pressing his hand on the ground as he kicks up for her back, since the back of her head is too high.

<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just uses her momentum to fall to the ground and avoid the hit. She crouches low.
<Megumi> Miss knight... did she really?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hello! 6* She bounces onto Megumi's bed
* Megumi appears more amazed than anything that she might have seen a smile, figuring at the very least she would be pissed about losing.
* Marcus` stands upright again, he shakes his head. "Too slow." he begins to bounce slowly on the balls of his feet. Motioning Katrina to charge again.
<Chad`Winters> Ariel, you're a wonderful mother. Erevis, you're a wonderful person. Megumi, you're intentions are great even if the methods aren't. Aya, let's go.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up, stretchind and yawning.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "Finished?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns her back to him. "Bored."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps up behind Kat and pats her on the shoulder.
<Marcus`> Oh? *he tilts his head* I'll attack then, that shouldn't be as boring.
* Megumi tries her hardest not to shriek when Aya causes her to shake. At least her tormented expression will alleviate some of the horror that Chad feels in complimenting her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya bounces off and wanders after Chad
* Ariel stares at Chad. What the hell...
<Angela> * Jen flips channels
* Chad`Winters walks off with Aya, disappearing
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina acts completely relaxed.
<Marcus`> Dias. Move.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh...why?
<Marcus`> We're in the middle of something here
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *yawns and walks out of the kitchen*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Apparently not.
<Megumi> 6Chii grins, waving to Marcus and Dias as she turns to follow Katrina.
<Megumi> I think... Mister Winters is ill...
* Marcus` frowns. "Great." He steps out of the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* A fist is thrown for Marcus' jaw as he steps out
* Marcus` smiles, hearing it coming, yay wolfness, but he takes the hit anyway, twisting his body to step back aftwerward, he arches a brow.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oooh, sneak attack. 6He pulls out a bag of popcorn from beneath the camera's view.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks backwards, facing Marcus, and heading for her room
* Angela steps into the HQ and heads for the kitchen.
* Marcus` grins. "I like your style." he slowly begins to walk after her.
<Ariel> "...or something."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias munches on popcorn as Angela steps inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the bedroom.
* Angela looks at Marcus and Kat walking off and shrugs a little.
<Megumi> 6Chii scampers afterwards. 1"You know what might be entertaining, Katrina?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think they're gonna do it.
<Megumi> <Chii> We could always go with Drake one of these days.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Go where? 6* She's actually distracted, turning her head to Chii.
* Chad`Winters steps into the HQ, Aya beside him.
* Marcus` slides forward, swinging out for Katrina's jaw.
<Megumi> <Chii> On one of the smaller missions. Might be a good change of pass rather than mulling around h--" 6She leans back away from Marcus.
* Angela looks over her shoulder at Chad and Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is hit in the jaw, and she falls to he floor.
<Megumi> ...Thank you, miss knight.
* Angela turns to face them. "What are you two up to?"
* Marcus` pulls his arm back, he glances at Chii, then looks back down to Katrina.
<Megumi> <Chii> Okamisama! Katrina! Daijoubu deshou ka?! Katrina, are you okay?
<Ariel> "For what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rolls onto her stomach.
* Megumi turns to Marcus with a rather shadey look, her tail bristled a bit.
<Megumi> NRP: Chii >_>;
* Chad`Winters moves to the kitchen. 1"Angela, you're very good at designing things. Warren's daughter, you're probably great with guns. Dias, you're special. 6He turns, moving to where the ruckus is.
* Marcus` stands still, waiting for Katrina to stand up. He's sure she'll just attack him if he tries to help her. "Oh come'on. I didn't hit her hard. Calm down, Chii."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets to her knees, then stands.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh?! 6He stares, looking around, confused.
* Megumi shifts her eyes to Ariel. 1"...For what? She listened to you... Especially for that smile, I am grateful to you."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to face Marcus.
* Angela tilts her head in confusion at Chad's actions.
* Marcus` stands there, his eyes slide to Katrina's cheek to see if he actually did any damage.
<DeathStar> 6* Just a little redness.
* Angela then marches down the hallway after Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina suddenly balances on one foot.
<Marcus`> Didn't hurt you did I, darlin?
<Ariel> "I just told her the truth."
<Megumi> <Chii> I should fry you..
* Marcus` smiles. "I thought not." He ignores Chii.
* Chad`Winters steps into Kat's room. 1"Marcus, you've got talent. Kat, I appreciate everything you've done for me and I shouldn't take that for granted.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jumps forward, balancing--- then falls over from Chad's words.
<DeathStar> 6* Katirna stares.
* Marcus` tenses to block and pauses, glancing at Chad. "...that's Dark One talk."
<Chad`Winters> Chii, you're...6He glances down at Aya then looks back at her. 1"You're a great asset to this team." 6He turns moving out of the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands there in Chad's path
<Chad`Winters> Billy, you're evil.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy yays.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's comm beeps.
<Megumi> 6Chii staggers back, clutching her chest as if she were stabbed.
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Where is it?"
<DeathStar> <Disguised Voice> You will find the better half of little Warren on your front steps.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina feels afraid suddenly at Chad's attitude and hides under her covers.
<Chad`Winters> <C> I'll remember this Warren. 6He clicks it off. 1"Alright Aya, let's get some ice cream and head home."
* Angela puts her arms around Marcus from behind and whispers in his ear.
<Megumi> 6Chii peers at Katrina, then decides to hide under the bed.
* Marcus` pauses and looks to Kat now. "Oh you're kidding right?" He tenses up, as if ready to strike.
* Megumi shakes her head slightly.
* Marcus` glances at her. "Later." He says simply.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Warren looks at Cheryl, who is holding a comm. <Warren> You really make no sense to me sometimes. <Cheryl> *whistles as she walks away*
* Angela pouts a little and kisses his cheek. "I'll hold you to that."
<Megumi> Ariel... You are always the dutiful one. You did not need to do that as you did, and you know it. I appreciate it, even if it were more for her sake than ours as a whole.
* Marcus` just nods, glancing at Katrina. "...where were we?"
* Angela turns and heads out towards the training room.
<Angela> * Jen flips channels.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina remains under the covers. "World ending. Not leaving."
* Marcus` sighs. "...but I was really having fun."
* Ariel lets out a long sigh... it's obvious she's still... unhappy.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 day later - 12.5
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be refusing to eat hospital food.
<DeathStar> 6* Despite being visiblely underweight
* Angela opens her eyes, staring at the cieling of a bedroom, stretching a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron is next to her.
* Marcus` knocks at Erevis' door, standing in her doorway, he's actually sporting a black eye though. "May I come in?"
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there, arms crossed, staring at Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up at him. "If you desire." 6* She goes back to eyeing the food.
* Angela blinks and looks at him, "What are you doing in here...?"
* Marcus` steps in and glances down to see what Erevis is avoiding to eat.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Would you like to eat it?
<Marcus`> <Theron> This is not your room.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be chicken and jello and a biscuit.
* Marcus` glances at Erevis. "I'm afraid that if I did, someone, somewhere would injure me."
* Megumi sleeps soundly! Unless Erevis is weird about it, she's been spending most of her waking hours trying to heal her-- Consequently leaving herself injured and knocked out for most daylight hours.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks troubled.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis wouldn't let Megumi injure herself to heal her, so hah
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Everything alright?"
<Angela> "...And?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not think I will eat this. 6* She puts the tray aside.
* Megumi wouldn't be injuring herself, just tired and not healing herself first >_>;
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is a stubborn bitch and would insist Megumi go first. <.<;
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes Angela. "You should not be so cuddly with Marcus. You are too young."
<Marcus`> Oh? How come?
* Megumi would heal both at the same time then! Less progress but comprimise!
* Angela sits up, wearing an overly large t-shirt, possibly nothing else. "I'm Twenty-Four..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It makes me uneasy.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You're 17.
* Angela pouts. "Physically..."
<Marcus`> How so? *he sits down beside her, keeping an eye on the food, to see if it moves or anything*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot explain.
<Marcus`> <Theron> And the way you act around Marcus, could get him placed in jail. If your guardian so desired it.
<DeathStar> 6* Someone leaves a flaming bag on Chad's porch.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias opens the door and steps inside, his sweatshirt soaked with sweat, and 2 50lb bags of salt on her shoulders.
* Chad`Winters stares at it from the front window of Erevis' home.
* Angela rubs her eyes. "Why do you care?"
<DeathStar> 6* It burns
<Marcus`> <Theron> I care about the wellfare of this team. And if one of my teammates is endangered, I feel I must step in.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is asleep still
<Angela> "Who do you think is endangered here?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> Marcus. *he shifts and steps out now*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grunts and tosses the bags on the ground, two thud noises being heard when they land.
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "But if you do not make yourself eat. How will you get the nutrients to heal yourself?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans behind his desk, watching a video of Marcus and Angela together in bed, doing something that involves sex.
<Angela> "...Whatever."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Angela lays back and sighs, closing her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren presses a button down. "Forward Dias the money."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to face Marcus. He is a dead man.
* Marcus` glances his head towards Erevis. "Would you like me to go get you something else? Possibly some Turkey?"
* Megumi is now known as Kitzzzune
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I question their turkey.
<Marcus`> Where do you normally get your turkey? I could go there and get you some.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks down the hall towards the training room. He throws punches at the air as he moves.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> At a store.
* Marcus` stands up now. "I'll go to the store and get you some then." he smiles lightly and moves for the door.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Arigato. 6* She bows her head.
<Marcus`> Oh it's not problem. *he waves a hand, stepping out and moving out of the hospital for the closest store*
<Marcus`> NRP: not a
<DeathStar> 6* Some men in military uniforms leap out of a car and inject a tranq into Marcus' neck. They lift him up and carry him into the car, driving away.
<Angela> * Jen comes inside, wearing sweats and a jacket, yawning, she looks like she's been running as she plops down on the couch.
* Marcus` has been ganked.
<DeathStar> 6* A man in a uniform delivers turkey to Erevis
* Angela just stares up at the cieling. "Why the hell do you do this..."
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is dumped outside of the HQ
* Marcus` lays on the sidewalk, still tranq'd for the moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps over Marcus. "Sheesh. Doesn't this loser ever do anything but drink?"
<Kitzzzune> 6Chii investigates the noise from screeching tires and spots Drake and Marcus.
<Kitzzzune> <Chii> Drake, you should allow Katrina and I to assist next time you go.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hm? Oh, sure.
* Marcus` still lays there.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake discusses his operation times, ignoring Marcus
* Angela grabs her duffel and starts changing.
<Kitzzzune> 6Chii peers down at Marcus, then moves over to roll him like a barrel or something into the HQ, propping him against the inside wall, then decides to shut the holovid off and go check on Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake moves to get a sandwich
<Angela> * Jen watches people come in. She eyes Chii who appears to be going for the controller in her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is sleping
<Kitzzzune> 6Chii finds this acceptable, and joins!
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus wakes up!
* Marcus` rests against the wall, still unconcious.
<Marcus`> NRP: OR NOT.
* Chad`Winters steps into the training room and moves over the punching bag, he begins pounding against it.
* Marcus` slowly opens one eyes. "...what the hell just happened?"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Marcus` rubs his head as he stands, glancing around. "...."
* Marcus` begins to stumble towards his room.
* Marcus` grabs the door and opens it, stepping in, holding his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits alone now, eyeing turkey.
* Angela looks up at Marcus, her tact suit only half zipped up.
* Marcus` pauses, and then widens his eyes his pain. "GAAAAHHHH!" He urks, doubled over, holding his crotch, collapsing onto the ground.
* Angela blinks, staring at him, closing her suit up. "What's wrong with you?"
* Marcus` lays on the ground, holding his crotch, seemingly unconcious, then he stirs. "...my...my penis...it was shocked..." he pulls a hand up to wipe the tears away from his eyes.
<Angela> "...Shocked?"
* Angela leans down over him. "That sounds wierd."
<Marcus`> You're breasts. When I saw them...well I got turned on...and...*he shudders, seemingly not wanting to be touched.*
* Angela blushes a little. "Well it's great you like them... but how the hell did you get shocked?"
<Marcus`> I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! *he freaks out, obviously the thought of getting shocked everytime he gets an erection has sunk in*
<Angela> "Well... did anything strange happen?"
<Marcus`> ...I was visiting Erevis...then I went to go get her turkey and there was these men, and then..I was here...and...now this...and OH MY GOD I CAN NEVER HAVE SEX AGAIN! *he climbs to his feet, looking for his pistol*
<Angela> "Whoa, whoa, chill!"
<Angela> "I'm sure we can get it fixed."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up a nude photo in front of Marcus of some random chick.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hello, I'm taking a survery. Is she hot?
<Marcus`> Fixed?! Fixed!? SOMEONE NEUTURED ME! *he glances at the photo and freaks out, falling backwards, covering his eyes*
<Angela> "Billy leave him alone..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Okay, I put it away.
* Marcus` peeks over his arm.
* Angela puts her hands over his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* He'd see a photo of Katrina naked
<Angela> "Marcus..."
* Marcus` eyes the picture of Katrina before his eyes are covered up. "...wait a minute...my crotch...it wasn't shocked."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is foiled again!
<Angela> 'Huh?"
* Angela lets his eyes go.
* Marcus` pauses and grabs the picture, standing up, he eyes it. "...she's naked. And hot...and damn..." he mumbles, glancing down at his pants. Oh? Surprise.
* Angela sighs, "Maybe it shorted or something.
* Angela walks over to the bed and bends over beside it, picking up her bag.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hides the photo now.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up a nude photo of Angela
* Marcus` looks to the photo of Angela. "GAHHH!" he grabs his crotch and falls over.
* Angela looks over. "Guess it's not?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy ponders.
<Marcus`> Oh...god. *he crawls for the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up the Katrina photo in his face again. "Shocky?"
* Marcus` winces, but nothing happens. "...no."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up a photo of Angela again.
* Marcus` winces, growling as he doubles over again.
* Angela stares. "...God damnit Warren!"
<DeathStar> <Billy> You really turn him on, Angela.
<Angela> "Apparently."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to tape photos of Angela all over the HJQ
<Angela> "Billy... give me those..."
* Marcus` makes a face and stands, eyeing the photos, nothing happening now. "...not anymore." He notes with a dark look.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy ignores her.
* Angela starts taking them down.
* Angela blinks.
<DeathStar> <Billy> But--
<Angela> "...Not anymore...?"
<Angela> "...Thank you Billy!"
<Marcus`> Fuck that. I'm not getting shocked. Tell Warren congrats, i'm leaving you alone. *he steps out of his room*
* Angela blinks
* Angela watches him go.
* Angela looks dark as she picks up her bag and walks out.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy watches him go. "What about me?"
<Marcus`> I got a stern talking too from Cass. I'm now allowed to be with you either, it would seem.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You are now allowed? Yay!
<Angela> "...Yeah... gonna go..."
* Marcus` rounds the corner, making his way towards the training room.
* Angela heads swiftly out, and towards the front door.
* Marcus` pauses and then pokes his head in to look at Billy. "But breaking the rules is fun and sexy, right?" he wiggles his eyebrows.
<Angela> * Jen just shrugs and turns up the volume as Angela slams the door.
<DeathStar> <Billy> So you're...going to not be with me?
* Marcus` watches her for a moment. "What do you want?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wanders off, clearly needing time to think
<Marcus`> Fair enough. *he steps into the main living area* GODDAMNIT ARE YOU DEAF ALONG WITH RETARDED!? TURN THAT SHIT DOWN!
<Angela> Jen> "You're the retard."
<Marcus`> Jeez, you're as witty as your father. Turn it down. Now.
<Angela> * Jen grunts.
<Marcus`> Last warning.
<Angela> Jen> "Or what? You'll make me cry like you just did that Bennet girl?"
* Marcus` steps over to the door and opens it, then walks over and rips the holo-vid out of the wall, tossing it out into the sidewalk breaking it. He walks past her, back towards his room.
<Angela> * Jen shrugs and tosses the clicker aside, pulling out a book.
<Marcus`> Fucking annoying kid...*he grumbles, stepping into his room*
* Angela walks into the park, a bit unsteadily and sits on a bench, curling up.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 day later 12.6
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* And so, Marcus has returned to his old apartment.
* Marcus` eyes the mess that Dias has left it in, he sets his bags aside and just shakes his head, balling his hand up into a fist, wanting to hit something.
* Angela finds herself helping him move things. "We could talk to her... I could give you the money for the thing..."
<Marcus`> No. I have the money. But i'm not doing chores. She can kiss my ass.
<Angela> "I'll do them for you."
* Angela puts down a box. "God this place is a stye..."
<Marcus`> No. *he says again, sighs at the dust cloud that has risen from him barely bumping into the couch.* Dias is a pig.
<Angela> "...Stay with me."
<Marcus`> I can't. I'm not going to get my crotch fried whenever I stumble into your room with you halfnaked.
<Angela> "I'll be careful... and we can get that fixed..."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake celebrates at the HQ
<Marcus`> Until you get it fixed, i'm staying here. *he kicks over a bowl of god knows what kind of liquid and makes a face*
<Angela> "...At least let me help clean then..."
* Marcus` looks to her finally. "It's not your responsibility. You're not the one that threw the holovid out the door and broke it, and you're not the one that refused to do the chores since it was a "bad" thing. I did, so i'll deal with it. I'm used to it."
<Angela> "It was my guardian that did this to you."
<Angela> "Why the hell he reacted like this is beyond me."
<Marcus`> Yeah well he's a prick and he loves to see people in misery.
<Angela> "This sucks..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits at his desk, listening to the two talk.
* Angela sighs a bit and sorts through things. "I could order a cleaning service or something."
<Angela> "It's at least partially my fault this happened..."
* Marcus` shakes his head. "No, just leave it alone."
<Angela> "Marcus..."
<Marcus`> Look, Angela. It would be different if we were in a relationship and I was actively having sex with you. But it was a one time thing of us BOTH being caught up in the moment. And now i'm being punished. Honestly, I can't figure out why Dias is so clean, he's the one that actually hurt you, had sex with you while you were asleep."
<Marcus`> But no. I get the blame. I get punished. As usual.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans forward with interest. He hits a button. "Find Dias." 6* He says to his minions.
<Angela> "Yeah... he rapes me and YOU get it? What the hell..."
<DeathStar> 6* Outside the window, they can see Dias getting jumped by military men.
* Angela looks. "Oh."
* Marcus` rubs his face, then glances outside the window, he glances up. "It was Dias that gave you the information, right Warren? He forgot to mention that he raped Angela. Huh, I wonder why he would do that?"
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
<Angela> "Cuz he gets a cheap thrill off his litlte pranks and doesn't care who he hurts..." *she blinks, looking around* "Wait you think the place is bugged?"
* Marcus` glances to Angela. "Dias didn't get jumped until we just mentioned that. I'm not stupid." He's past the point of joking, jolly Marcus. He's pretty much the most upset he's been in a while.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias is removed off the streets.
<Angela> "Impressively fast then... anyways... I'm sure we can get this fixed..."
* Marcus` just shakes his head. "I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you." he shifts toward his room, opening the door, glancing inside. He just frowns, slumping his shoulders.
<Angela> "...What?"
* Marcus` motions to half the mud pit in his room, and then number of unspeakable things along the floor. "I'm not living here."
<Angela> "Look, come to my place, I'll be careful, okay?"
<Marcus`> No. I have money, i'll just get my own place. I'll trouble you for the night and that's it. *he moves over and picks up his bags, making a face as another dust cloud rises.*
* Angela picks up the box. "Fine, for the night then... my place is downtown..."
<Marcus`> I guess I can fancy the walk then. *he steps out, and waits for Angela to step out*
* Angela steps out as well.
<Angela> "Why do you even associate with that jerk anwyays?"
<DeathStar> 6* Dias is tossed out of a car and the car drives away
* Marcus` closes the door and then rips a piece off of the box, he writes on the piece, 'Condemned' and places it on the door, wedged between the door and the doorframe. "He's a good fighter." He picks his bags up and walks out, accidently kicking Dias as he walks by him, moving towards downtown.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks past the two, searching for evil.
* Angela steps on Dias and walks with Marcus. "That's hardly a good reason."
<Marcus`> It's all the reason I need. *he glances at Drake coming forward* Hurry, get your pretty face on.
* Angela smiles and giggles, "Hey Drake."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nods, glancing at Marcus, then back at Angela. "Hello." 6* He keeps walking on by.
* Marcus` just nods, not slowing at all.
<Angela> "Hey Drake! C'mere."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Busy! 6* He shouts back, still moving.
<Angela> "There's evil this way!"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake keeps moving, probably almost out of sight, since both groups are moving in opposite ways
* Angela sighs and shrugs, walking on.
<Marcus`> Don't worry darlin, he's completely gay.
<Angela> "Starting to think it."
* Angela walks along, "I'm still really sorry this happened..."
<Angela> "You'd think he was my real father or something, reacting like this..."
<Marcus`> Eh. *he just shrugs, eyes set forward*
* Angela looks forward, they come to a fairly nice apartment building, she sets the box on a divider and pulls out her wallet, taking out a card key.
<Marcus`> After I set my stuff in, i'm going to go to the bank. So I'll be gone for most of the day. But I'll call you when I need in.
<Angela> "Kay. Remember the place is number A25."
* Angela opens the door, holding it for him.
* Marcus` adjust the bags to one arm and then grabs the box from her arms, he glances at her to lead the way once he steps inside. "A25. Angela should be 25 soon."
<Angela> "Warren has a certain love of irony."
<Marcus`> I guess. *he says shortly, the topic of Warren not a great one for him right now.
* Angela leads him up a flight of stairs, it seems there's no apartments on the first floor, the second floor opening to long hallways, she weaves her way towards the back, opening her door with the cardkey again, stepping inside.
* Marcus` steps inside, glancing around the place.
<Angela> * THe place seems a melding of Angela herself, the place is very sparce and very plain, only simple furniture about, not the normal elegance of Angela, there's a holovid in the corner, and a broken one near the back where the dinign area appears to have been turned into a work bench.
<Angela> * A lot of the maps and other articles from Sera's old apartment are here as well.
<Marcus`> Hm. Nice enough. *he mentions* Do you realize that I haven't slept, since when I go to sleep, I can't control my urges and what not, and since i'm trying not to think about you, that's instantly what I dream of?
<Angela> * A pile of military uniforms are in the corner, all Angela's, none of the ranks or markings oddly have been confiscated, they in fact look recently dry cleaned.
<Angela> "I have some pills that'll induce a dreamless sleep if you want."
<Angela> "It's flattering to know you dream of me though."
<Marcus`> Handy when you're trying to avoid having jumbled dreams of multiple pasts. And don't feel flattered, it's merely my brain being an asshole.
* Angela heads over to the half bar / kitchen area, setting down the box on the counter.
<Angela> "...Sort of."
* Angela fishes out the medication from a pile of soda bottles and empty juice cans.
<Angela> "Usually Montana does the cleaning, but I have him at the Shrine right now."
<DeathStar> 6* Dark Ones examine Montana, stealing military secrets
* Marcus` allows her to take it away from him, he places his bags beside the door, a sign that he means he's only staying for the night. "Sorry if I seem testy. But i'm just having a hard time with this."
<Angela> * Montana mostly gives them useless sci fi trivia.
<Angela> "I can imagine."
<Marcus`> I'll be back later. If you could, try to get ahold of Warren for me. I'd appareciate it. *he starts for the door*
* Angela pushes a picture frame down on the counter as she grabs a bottle of citrus soda. "Sure."
* Angela sighs and taps the console, putting in a call to him as she starts to clean up the place.
* Marcus` glances back at her. "Don't worry about hiding pictures of Spade or anytone that 'shouldn't' be here. I wont judge." He slips out.
<DeathStar> 6* His secretary asks what Angela needs Warren for.
<Angela> "Family issue."
<DeathStar> <Secretary> What sort of family issue? Please be specific.
<Angela> "A personal emergency."
* Marcus` steps up to HQ, knocking on the door after a super awesome teleport.
<DeathStar> <Secretary> Does this personal emergency have to do with one Marcus Jones?
<Angela> "Yes."
<DeathStar> <Secretary> The General says he'll be happy to discuss that with you in 10 more months when you are 18 years of age.
<Angela> "Tell him I get the message."
<DeathStar> <Secretary> Will do. HAve a nice day, Miss. Bennet.
<Angela> "You too."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door, studying Marcus. "Hey."
<DeathStar> 6* The Secretary hangs up.
* Marcus` pulls up a brown paper bag. "I come baring gifts."
<Angela> * Jen peeks out from the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises a brow and takes the bag, eyeing it like it might be something bad.
<Marcus`> It's the money to replace the holovid. I had to get it from my secret stash that Dias has no clue about.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "Well, thank you, Marcus. That's very good of you."
* Angela sighs and sits the picture up. It's a photo of herself and a boy, the two of them around 12 years of age. She shakes her head. "Why did I even keep this..."
<Angela> * She is, he's slightly older, the player is sleepy.
<Marcus`> Yeah I guess i'm just a lovely fella. *he shrugs*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "If you want the job, you're welcome to keep it. You just can't live here without doing chores."
* Marcus` makes a face. "I don't see you making anyone else doing your slave work."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I do it. Lilith does it. Theron does it. Jen will be doing it. 6* She eyes the freeloader. "Chii does it with me."
<DeathStar> * Katrina shrugs. "But fine." 6* She turns to walk back inside with the money.
<Marcus`> Oh...*he frowns* Well wait a minute. I thought you were talking about me just being the "maid" or something. *he steps into the doorway*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Assumption, Marcus. 6* She wags her finger at him.
<Angela> Jen> "I can clean the training room..."
<Marcus`> I know. Assumptions basically make you dead. *he rubs his head* So what would I be...cleaning?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The yard work, and maintaining the outside of the building! 6* She pumps her fist in the air. "Can I hear a cheer?"
<Angela> * Jen yawns a bit.
<Angela> Jen> "Oh ummm... yay!"
* Marcus` frowns. "How about I take out the trash and cut the grass once a week?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Enjoy that nice rent free!
<DeathStar> *fee
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes for her room.
* Marcus` sighs. "Fine, fine. I'll do the damn chores." He mumbles, "Anything to keep away from Angela."
<Angela> * Jen giggles, "You hate her or something?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. I'm glad we have an understanding.
<Marcus`> No. You're too young to talk about it. *he waves* When are we going to fight again? *he says to Kat*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I could send you out to stalk vampires or something, but there's no big cases. Sorry.
<Marcus`> I meant you and me. You're good, and I know if we fight, i'll learn something.
* Angela finishes cleaning, sighing as she sits down on the couch.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You and me? Aw, you know how to make a girl blush, Jones.
<Angela> * Jen stares at Kat, pulling out a notebook, she starts taking notes.
<Marcus`> Just a quick jab will make your cheeks real nice and red.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ho ho ho. 6* She claps her hands together. "A man like you doesn't know the real finasse to fighting."
<Angela> * Jen furiously takes notes.
<Marcus`> Oh? *he steps inside and closes the door behind himself* And just what is the real finasse?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's not about size or strength that matters. It's all about endurance and speed.
<Marcus`> I see. And the fact that i've trained my body to endure the most aginizing pain...that means, I don't understand?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slides in close. "Doesn't matter how much pain you can endure, if I knock your ability to move out from you."
<Angela> * Jen goes off to her room to review these notes as her player passes out on the keyboard.
* Marcus` shifts to his left foot, staring at Katrina now. "Are you referring to hitting my nerve clusters?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Psch. Nerve clusters. 6* She waves her hands.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're only as strong as your joints.
* Angela is now known as Angela|Snoozing
* Marcus` tilts his head back. "Then maybe we should test how strong my joints are."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. To the training room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks ahead
* Marcus` smiles, watching he go, then he walks after her. "I guess there might be some perks to an ass kicking or too."
<Marcus`> NRP: two*

<DS[SleepBlink]> Stardate: 10-587.12.6
<DS[SleepBlink]> Location: To-ky-o!
* Xan|Skateboarding is now known as Marcus`
<Kit> 6Megumi lies rather still, though quite obviously awake. A section of her chest and side is dampened with red, likely as a consequence of the fact that her bed has been shoved closer to Erevis', the scrapes in the floor evidence of it happening. Because of that she couldn't expend healing, but also isn't unconscious.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis is asleep
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* Megumi sighs softly. Although grateful the scraping noise that has made her partially deaf hasn't woken up Erevis, it's kind of odd that they always seem to be awake alternatively.
* Megumi wonders where the turkey came from, though.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel peeks into the room.
* Megumi is gazing upward, and having so many machines around making noise, isn't paying enough attention to notice something that subtle. She sighs again.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel quietly walks over and inspects Megumi, then goes to inspect Erevis
* Megumi blinks slightly and stares at Raquel's research path. 1"...What are you...?"
* Angela approaches the front door of the Starr residence, knocking.
<Megumi> Mh, were you not present ...when we crashed in downtown?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel just nods. She looks over Erevis more intently.
* Ariel answers the door. And pauses, not saying anything.
<Megumi> Um... What are you doing, little one?
* Angela looks at her and sighs a little, "I came to apologise."
* Ariel listens, not interrupting. She's too good at keeping a straight face... had far too much practice.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel turns and blinks at Megumi, "...looking."
<Megumi> I can see that...
<Megumi> Why are you looking?
<Megumi> <Lilith> Ojousama, so you are here..
<Angela> "My feelings, ill or not, it was rude of me to confront you like that. I was angry and irrational, and it was not my place. I'm not even sure what I really feel these days."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...seeing if either of you two were dying."
<Megumi> 6Lilith stands in the doorway, hands before her. She gazes around at the two, then at Raquel, wincing as she smiles. 1"...Mister Karumaikuru has already gone. I saw him off previously. Must we visit the cat?"
* Megumi tilts her head slightly and frowns, twitching a little as her hand presses the gown to her ribs a bit. 1"We are not, now, no. You are... strange."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel holds up a spray bottle she brought, just in case of cat trouble.
<Megumi> ...You came to spray Erevis with water?
<Megumi> I do not think she would appreciate this.
* Angela looks up at her, arms crossed, she's clearly doing her best to put forth the good foot here.
<Ariel> "Were the things you said how you really feel?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shakes her head. "Not in case of her." 6She gestures for Lilith to move to her side, and away from Megumi.
<Angela> "Some... not all..."
<Megumi> 6Lilith walks over to her calmly, peering intently at the sleeping Erevis.
<Angela> "I'd like to talk about it... on a calmer, more friendly level... if that's alright with you."
* Megumi looks at Raquel like one would the only odd of a group. 1"...I feel like the black sheep as of recent."
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis opens her eyes to peer intently at Lilith.
<Megumi> <Lilith> Nonsense, you are a ca-- eh!?
<Megumi> 6* Lilith recoils slightly, caught offguard by the sudden gaze.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis closes her eyes again
* Megumi scowls at Lilith, then studies the reaction and looks to Erevis curiously.
* Megumi speaks softly. 1"Erevis, are you awake?"
* Ariel nods. "...alright. Then I'll accept your appology."
* Angela smiles softly, "Thank you Ariel."
<Angela> "Is this a bad time or should we talk now?"
<Ariel> "No, it's alright. Come in."
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis seems to be asleep.
* Megumi puffs her cheeks slightly, mumbling. 1"Now who is being childish?"
* Angela steps inside, presently in a loose training outfit and jacket, hair pulled back, she looks around the place quietly.
* Megumi sighs softly again. 1"It is fine if things are understood, though."
<Megumi> I hope Mister Winters is treating Little Siawase well.
* Megumi blinks a few times and gazes to Raquel and Lilith, remembering they are there.
<Ariel> "Would you like something to drink? Tea? Sake?"
<Angela> "Tea... still too young for Sake."
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis seems to be really asleep, as her breathing has become a constant rhythm
* Ariel leads the way to the living room, "Have a seat." She steps into the other room to boil some water.
* Angela takes a seat on the couch.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...so... you're not dying...?"
<Megumi> ...No.. ...
<Megumi> Not now, in any case.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...oh..."
<Megumi> ...Why have you come, strange little one?
<Megumi> <Lilith> Ojousama is not strange..!" 6Slight growl.
<Megumi> If you are going to growl, you can wait outside lest you bother Erevis. Why not be useful and find her lunch outside of this place?
<Megumi> <Lilith> Hrmph, I do not have to listen to you.
<Megumi> 6* Lilith takes note of Erevis and quiets, at least, feeling a bit off.
* Marcus` steps past Lilith into Megumi and Erevis' room.
<Ariel> Raquel> "......." *doesn't answer*
<Megumi> <Lilith> Ah, doumo, Marukaasusan.
* Megumi twitches slightly at Lilith and shakes her head. 1"...Hello, Mister Jones."
* Ariel steps out with a tray, and offers Angela one of the cups, before taking a seat herself.
* Marcus` eyes the beds pushed together and shifts over to place some bags that he brought onto a chair. He glances up at Lilith. "Hey Lily." He glances over at Raquel. "And Rach is here as well?" He archs a brow, shifting over to look down at Erevis.
<Megumi> <Lilith> Mmh, I came to find ojousama.
* Angela takes it and smiles, blowing over it. "Thank you."
<Megumi> I still do not understand their purpose of visit. Are they always this conspicuous, Mister Jones?
* Marcus` leans down, reaching down towards Erevis' chest. "Yes. They are."
<Marcus`> NRP: *leans forward*
<Megumi> M-Mister Jones, what are you d-doing?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I was only seeing if I would need to take her soul... that's not... conspicuous..."
* Marcus` glances up at Megumi and adjusts his hands to take Erevis' blanket and shift it up, tucking her in better. "Being a good friend." He notes, turning his back to Megumi as he shifts through the bags he brought.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis opens her eyes again.
<Megumi> ...A-ah.. I see.
* Megumi stares at Raquel. 1"Wh-what!?"
<Marcus`> No that's depressing. If you're not here to see how they are doing, then you should not be here. *he pauses as he shifts through his bags*
* Ariel adds some sugar, then takes a sip of her tea. "So... where would you like to start?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "......"
<Megumi> <Lilith> Oh, so that is why. Well, it is only logical, Marukaasusan. It would be difficult if her soul was to be in the possession of the enemies we have met as of recent.
<Megumi> 6Lilith turns and smiles down at Raquel. 1"On the other hand, ojousama, it is rude to come to the sickly without supportive thoughts or intentions."
<Marcus`> Your goal was noble. *he stands and turns to them* But you're method is a bit...rude. Yes, rude, good word, Lily."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I... never thought that they might get it..." *she pauses in thought*
<Angela> "Who we are."
<Megumi> Mister Jones, is this little one a dark one also? Like Little Andrea?
<Marcus`> No clue. Whatever dark was in her, is not inside me. So maybe i'm a dark one?
<Marcus`> NRP: now*
<Megumi> 6Lilith turns slightly, her expression bleak and calculative on Megumi. 1"...Ojousama is not a dark one."
* Megumi blinks a few times, and looks to Marcus. 1"...I have missed some things while with Erevis."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...the dark ones wanted to kill Billy. I'm not one of them... I'm a weapon."
<Marcus`> Megumi. *he lifts up a bag, moving over to sit it on one of the hospital dressers* There is microwavable foods in here that will be more appealing to Erevis. Make sure she eats twice a day. All of it, not just picking at it.
* Marcus` slides his eyes to Raquel. "But for who. That's the question."
<Megumi> <Lilith> I am a weapon for ojousama, she does not need to be one.
* Megumi squints. 1"Lots of weapons..." 6She eyes Marcus, slowly smiling brightly. 1"...Thank you, Mister Jones. I have been worried. I will make sure she does."
<Ariel> Raquel> *eyes Marcus* "...why?"
<Angela> "I mean... who I am... and who we are to each other."
<Marcus`> Why what? *he archs a brow*
<Ariel> "And... you came to me on advice on that?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "Why does it matter..?"
<Marcus`> It always matters. *he shrugs, shifting over to look down at Erevis* Feeling fine?
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* This time Erevis is faking sleep, with so many people there.
<Angela> "Some... part of me never even got to know you... didn't care really.."
* Marcus` smiles and turns to face the other two. "Thank you two for coming by. But if you're finished, could you please leave?"
<Megumi> It matters, trust me.
* Megumi holds a hand to her face. 1"...As one who has been a few times too many, it matters a great deal whom suggests to you."
<Megumi> <Lilith> I will keep her away from bad influences!
<Megumi> 6Lilith thinks about that for a moment, and seems... disturbed.
<Marcus`> You will do as she says. *he notes*
<Ariel> Raquel> *Frowns, looking surprisingly sad, and quickly leaves*
<Megumi> <Lilith> ...Yes Marukaasusan, of course I will listen to ojousama.
<Megumi> 6Lilith bows and hurries to follow her.
<Marcus`> Lilith. *he calls for her to stop*
<Ariel> "You've had an... unusual life."
<Megumi> 6The inugami pauses, turning halfway. 1"Yes, Marukaasusan?"
<Marcus`> Apologise for me, if I hurt her feelings. Alright?
<Megumi> 6Lilith nods, smiling charmingly, then turns and increases her pace to make up for the pause.
<Megumi> Unusual friends have gathered to our company...
* Marcus` now places himself in the chair beside Erevis. He pulls out a book and begins to read it.
<Marcus`> They tried to kill me, when they first arrived.
* Megumi turns, blinking some more. 1"Yet you did not seem unfriendly with the one who appears to dislike me."
<Megumi> Is this because she dislikes me, or am I missing more of this story?
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis opens her eyes now; seems THAT book is familiar.
<Marcus`> She is a dog, you are a cat. It's in her nature. *he flips a page*
* Marcus` pauses, glancing at Erevis, he slides the book away.
<Angela> "I have... two of them in fact..."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> ...
<Megumi> I am not a c-- ...
* Angela sighs softly and looks down, sipping the tea.
* Megumi ponders for a moment. 1"...My soul takes after a tiger, I suppose... I understand."
* Marcus` looks to Erevis, "Sorry. I assumed you would sleep more."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sits quietly on a bench at the other end of the building.
<Megumi> 6Lilith kneels beside the bench. 1"Something bothering you, ojousama."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shakes her head and rubs her eyes.
<Angela> "I'm sorry if I speak in the third person... but it's the best way I can figure to express things right now..."
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis closes her eyes.
<Ariel> "You're still you, Angela."
<Angela> "Yeah... I am... that's the problem."
<Megumi> Erevis, Mister Jones is visiting and you have not eaten much of anything lately. You should take the opportunity to allow his visit by eating.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi now. "I am not hungry."
<Megumi> You have a strong will, Erevis, but that will alone will not satiate your body given time.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis frowns, like she's getting scolded and doesn't like it
<Ariel> "How is it a problem?"
* Marcus` stands up now. "Come'on then. Eat a bowl of soup." He moves over and grabs two of the soup, turning. "Tomato or Chicken Noodle?"
<Angela> "Imagine having to live with all of the mistakes and screwups of another person, whom you didn't even like to begin with."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Neither.
<Megumi> What would you like, Erevis?
* Marcus` places them back and holds up two more. "Potato, or Cream of Mushroom?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Neither.
* Marcus` places them back and then pulls out some type of meat. "Turkey?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> No.
* Marcus` frowns. "Erevis. You have to eat. So what do you want?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> I desire the chicken combo #5 from the resturant down the street from my house.
* Megumi stares, then starts to laugh slightly behind her hand, abrubtly falling short as she coughs and twitches her fingers near her ribs.
<Marcus`> Oh? *he nods* Let's see if I can make it there and back without being attacked. Do you need any condiments to go along with it?
* Angela sips her tea again.
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> No.
<Angela> "I suppose it's not even my place there either, Angela lived, Sera died. I'm lucky to even be here."
* Megumi turns slightly, but mostly her head since it's her right side that is broken, smiling at Erevis.
<Marcus`> Perhaps you two can have a lovely conversation why i'm gone? *he arches a brow and smiling* Be well. *he turns and steps out*
<Megumi> Thank you, Mister Jones.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi smiling at her, then shifts. "You said to state what I wanted."
* Marcus` just waves as he dissappears out the door, closing it behind him.
<Megumi> Mm, that is why I am happy you answered.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis peers at the ceiling now.
* Ariel nods slowly... she really doesn't have much of a clue in this situation.
* Megumi lies flatly on her back and stares upward as well, although squinting. 1"Are you feeling better?"
* Dias steps upto the apartment and eyes the condemmed sign. He rips it off and sets it on the neighbors door and moves back to his apartment and steps inside.
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> My body is healing.
<Angela> "Look... you were right... you aren't my mother... I shouldn't have tried pushing such a thing."
<Megumi> Mmh, I am trying my hardest to accelerate the process. You want to go home, right?
* Megumi reaches up and rests her arm across her forehead. 1"Although it was not your body that I was completely curious to."
<Ariel> "I always tried my best to accept you, no matter who you were. But... you never seemed to truely accept that."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> I do miss my own bed. 6* She pauses. "What else did you mean?
<Angela> "I was a bit of a fool... not taking what was plainly there."
<Angela> "I guess I was too blind to see..."
* Megumi tries to keep from laughing again, since it's painful, but shifts her eyes to Erevis. 1"We are not unhealthy for no reason, Erevis... It was not physical wounds that brought us here. I am trying, with the wisdom imparted by our many guests affectionate and not, to assure myself that I was not untruthful in what I stood up for. In the end, however, it is between us to decide that."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Are we not in the hospital because of the physical wounds?
* Megumi laughs at that, thought instantly wincing.
<Dias> Woh...This is pretty disgusting. 6He sighs and pulls out his cellphone, calling someone.
<Megumi> Mm, that is why we are here now.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis shifts her head to look at Megumi.
* Megumi gazes at her, studying. 1"Are you not still angry? Tense?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Angry? No. And I do not believe I am tense.
* Alicia|AFK is now known as Alicia
<Megumi> So... How do you feel about the conclusion of our ...dispute, then?
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> I do not know.
* Megumi blinks a few times. 1"No thoughts at all?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> I have thoughts.
<Megumi> About the conflict, or us in general.
* Megumi smiles slightly. Word play.
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Both.
* Megumi opens one eye. 1"Hmm? Tell me, then."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> ... 6* She plays the stall game.
* Marcus` steps in, holding bags of food. "That was a nice walk." He announces.
<Megumi> Aww... I have to wait even longer?
* Megumi eyes Marcus, looking to her to briefly utter. 1"Mh, at least I feel that I we can be happy again." 6Before turning her head so that she's straight more or less again.
* Marcus` shifts over and places the food that Erevis desired out onto her tray, then moves over to megumi. "I got you the same." He places the food on Megumi's tray, wadding up the bag and tossing it into the trash.
* Angela sighs, changing the subject, "I'm worried about Zephyr."
* Marcus` just smiles, "I'm sorry. Was I interrupting?"
<Megumi> Mm, I think it can wait. She needs the food more than such things for the moment.
* Marcus` steps back, crossing his arms. "Enjoy then."
* Megumi peers at the meal to see what this 'chicken combo #6' actually entails. 1"...I am grateful you brought something for me, Mister Jones."6 The hospital food -is- bland.
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> ... 6* She shifts her head to look at her tray.
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* It seems to be a mixture of chicken from various places around the world - chinese chicken, normal North American chicken, Japanese style cooked chicken
* Terra heads over to Megumi and Erevis, having just entered.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* With rice and a biscut and gravy!
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis eats the biscuit. That's what she wanted. She finishes and apparantly has no more intention to eat
* Marcus` arches a brow. "You're not finished?"
* Terra looks over, with a hint of concern. "... how are you two doing..?"
* Marcus` looks up to Terra before glancing back to Erevis.
<Terra> "Hi Marcus."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> I have eaten what I desired.
<Marcus`> Hey, darlin. *he pulls up a bag of chips and takes a bite, offering some out to Terra*
<Terra> "Thanks.." *takes some*
* Marcus` smiles lightly and then looks to Erevis. "Then why didn't you just tell me to go find you a biscuit?"
* Megumi reaches out and retrieves the biscuit from her meal and leans over. 1"Erevis, would you like another?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> You do not want it? It is good.
* Megumi beams at her. 1I like chicken. A lot, in fact, so you may have this."
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis leans over and takes the biscuit from MEgumi. "Thank you."
* Megumi retrieves her food and seems to take a liking to the chinese-style for WHATEVER REASON...
<Megumi> Hello, Madame Terra.
* Marcus` sighs slightly, eating another chip.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis eats the biscuit, then is satisfied.
<Marcus`> Next time I come visit. I'll bring you a couple of biscuits, alright?
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> That would be kind of you, Marcus Jones.
* Terra makes a mental note to buy Erevis biscuits herself
* Marcus` nods his head once. "That's what friends are for."
<Terra> "How are you doing?"
* Megumi answers vaguely. 1"I am feeling optimistic."
* Ariel nods slowly, "I... I'm not sure what to do with her honestly. With what I've done... it's nothing that can be healed over night."
<Terra> "So, you're both recovering well? That's good to hear."
<Angela> "Don't hope for it to... I can't feel much through the bond with her Dragoon abilities scrambled... but knowing the raw Zephyr... she doesn't forgive or forget very easily."
<Ariel> "I'm afraid... what she wants the most from me, I'm in no posistion to offer..."
* Marcus` moves to put the chips away, moving to sit back down beside Erevis.
<Angela> "What do you think she wants exactly?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis has stealthily avoided eating more.
<Marcus`> Erevis. Could you do me a favor?
<Megumi> Mh, I am using a lot of my excess focus to try and remediate our recovery, but... I have been quite exhausted as of late.
<Terra> "That's understandable."
* Marcus` shifts to face Erevis after saying that.
* Dias motions the a cleaning crew on into the apartment.
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> It would depend on the favor.
<Ariel> "She has expressed that... she doesn't want me to interact with either Megumi or Erevis."
<Marcus`> Please eat at least one serving of chicken.
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> ... 6* She spies the least amount of chicken serving, then eats it
* Angela considers this a moment, "While I'm naturally in agreement with her... I can understand your conflict."
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "That was very crafty of you."
* Megumi giggles as softly as possible. 1"Just as I would expect from Erevis."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> I am crafty? 6* She blinks. "I thought Katrina McCormick was crafty."
<Terra> "You can be too, in your own way."
<Marcus`> Everyone can be crafty in their own way. *he nods, adding to Terra's statement*
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> ... 6* She can't decide if that's a good or bad thing
* Ariel just nods. She's torn on the issue as well.
<Megumi> It means that although not always convenient, you are quite intelligent, Erevis..
* Marcus` moves to take the rest of her chicken, eating on it casually. "Maybe next time I can get you to eat two portions of chicken."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> That is doubtful, Marcus Jones, but you may try.
<Angela> "With your permission, I'd like to ask her if she'd like to train with me, I'm quite experienced in bringing out a Dragoon's abilities."
<Marcus`> I'll just have to try and be crafty myself. *he smiles at her*
<Ariel> "That would be up to her."
<Angela> "I didn't want to if it would upset you, is all."
<Megumi> Did you come by to visit, Madame Terra?
<Terra> "Yeah.. I heard what happened, or at least some of it.."
<Marcus`> I could give you the full story. *he notes, picking at his knuckle*
<Terra> "Oh? I'd like to hear."
* Megumi pauses slightly, eyeing Marcus in a darkly curious way.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis seems unphased
* Ariel shakes her own head a little. "If she wishes to learn, I won't get in the way."
<Marcus`> Well. *he rubs his chin* Megumi and Erevis fought. Then fell into frozen pond water. Erevis died momentarily. This all occured because Megumi refused to leave Erevis alone.
<Terra> "... died?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> It occurred because the ice broke.
<Marcus`> 4 minutes. *he holds up four fingers* And I heard Megumi was the one that broke the ice.
<Angela> "I'm happy we could still be.... friends... Ariel..."
<Terra> "... I knew there was a reason I don't like fighting on ice."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> It is dangerous. This is the second time I've fallen through the ice in a battle
<Marcus`> The first time, was fighting someone under the control of a Tsiv parasite.
<Terra> "Who was that?"
* Marcus` slowly glances to Erevis, before looking to Terra. "Someone else that Erevis cares about."
<Terra> "... oh."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> ..
<Ariel> "I won't turn one away who genuinely wishes to do right... I suppose that's part of my problem right now with Zephyr..." *looks down*
* Megumi is silent for the most part, clearly bothered to a heavy degree, but frowns, looking to Marcus. 1"No, I will not leave Erevis alone ever again."
<Marcus`> I...never said anything about that, Megumi.
* Marcus` blinks. "Oh. From my statement before. Well..."
* Marcus` sighs. "I guess that if you were told to go away. You should do it."
<Megumi> You frequently mention my name and make my actions alone known, which usually incites blame. I cannot say you are wrong, but I must allow you to be aware that I will remain unphased by your opinions.
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> ...
<Terra> "I... wonder what I missed..."
<Marcus`> It's not an opinion, Megumi. It's the truth of what occured.
<Megumi> It is your truth, and I have heard it. There is no need to impose it on others.
<Marcus`> She asked. Are you saying that's not what happened?
<Megumi> When one accounts a story objectively, all facts are necessary, not merely the ones convenient or easily presented.
<Megumi> You are not wrong, but you do not have the entire premise, nor do I feel it is your place to account it.
<Dias> 6Dias grabs a wrapped blade and slings it onto his back. He moves out of the apartment, letting it get professionaly cleaned.
* Marcus` shrugs. "You mean the point where you demanded conditions to winning the fight. Since there were conditions placed, that makes it alright?"
<Megumi> Does this question have anything to do with what I asked?
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> How do you know so much? 6She wonders.
* Megumi pauses as Erevis speaks, staring slightly, then looking to Marcus.
* Marcus` glances at Erevis. "Theron told me about it."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Theron was there?
* Marcus` shrugs. "I assume as much, unless he made it up. It could be that he observed the battlefield and assumed what happened. I just know that I was curious and he told me what he knew."
<Megumi> No one was, as far as I know. It would be strange to watch us both freeze in place of leaving to tell someone else of our affairs.
* Megumi squints. 1"...Or not very nice, in any case."
<Marcus`> Do you really believe he should have stepped in?
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Interesting. 6* She seems displeased.
<Megumi> Stepped in? I refer to before we had a park resident run for help because we were dying.
<Terra> "... what were the conditions...?"
<Marcus`> Perhaps his saw that you were to get help and believed that the experience would allow for you to grow?
<Marcus`> NRP: he*
<Megumi> Submission or unconsciousness.
* Terra nods quietly. Obviously they went past that.
<Angela> "You need to talk to Megumi as well... get her to back off."
<Terra> "And... you still ended up nearly dying..."
* Marcus` stands there for a moment. "Well it seems my visit has come to and end." He reaches down and pulls up a book. "Be well. The both of you. Erevis, please eat more." He starts for the door.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis says nothing.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis bows her head. "Good bye, Marcus Jones."
<Megumi> I may not respect the opinions, but I appreciate the concern, Mister Jones, especially those for Erevis.
<Angela> "I'd place money on any meeting the two have, Megumi's always going to hold an urge to push the problems to a head. Zephyr will ignore her for only so much time.
* Ariel nods. She doesn't think it's an issue any more, but no hurt being certain.
* Marcus` bows his head once. "I never once said that I thought you were wrong, Megumi." He opens the door. "Be sure to get plenty of rest." He steps out now.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis closes her eyes.
* Terra sighs a little
<Megumi> I do not understand him very well.
<Terra> "Me either."
* Marcus` pokes his head back in. "The mystery is. Did Theron really tell me?" He smiles, slipping out again.
<Terra> "What was it all about, anyway?"
* Megumi responds vaguely, again, 1"I love Erevis."
<Terra> "... and...?"
<Megumi> In her own way, I believe Erevis was caring for me, doing what she thought best from her past experience.
<Terra> "... fighting you?"
* Terra blinks
<Megumi> No, Madame Terra...
* Angela sips the tea. "Not sure what else to talk about... I'm hesitant, maybe due to the bond, about a lot of things."
<Terra> "Then, avoiding you entirely?"
<Megumi> Maybe...
<Terra> "... you're really confusing, you know that?"
<Megumi> It is... just that...
<Terra> "That...?"
* Dias steps into HQ and stretches.
* Megumi shakes her head slightly. 1"It would be rather selfish of me to say anything more on that. Those are Erevis' feelings to discuss, not mine. I had to fight with her to ensure that I may keep mine genuinely mine."
<Terra> "I don't understand that."
<Megumi> Honestly, I do not fully either, but when reduced to something as simple as if I lose I can never achieve it, then... I will fight for it with all my being.
<Terra> "Well, obviously."
* Megumi smiles slightly. 1"Then you understand more than you think, it would seem."
<Terra> "I just... whose idea was the fight in the first place?"
<Megumi> That...
* Megumi frowns slightly. She didn't want to fight to begin with, but it isn't right to say Erevis, considering she would have been perfectly content in her giving up and them all seperating as well.
<Megumi> I will assume responsibility.
<Terra> "... this is one of those complicated things, isn't it/"
* Ariel nods, "Well... what are you doing now? I heard Warren managed to get you a place before I could."
<Jackieness> NRP: Night night
<Megumi> NRP: Nighty-night.
* Jackieness has left #taw
* Marcus` steps into HQ, closing the door behind him, he glances around to see who is in the main room.
<Dias> 6Marcus can see the backside of a wrapped sword move down the hallway towards the training room
<Megumi> 6* Depending on where Katrina is, Chii might be there! But... Jennifer... has been... stealing it lately.
<Megumi> Perhaps, Madame Terra.
* Marcus` pauses and mvoes for the training room.
* Megumi looks off toward Erevis, her expression a bit colder than previous. 1"If you do not mind, Madame Terra, I feel I will take Mister Jones' advice."
<Terra> "Alright."
<Terra> "Rest well."
<Megumi> Thank you. I am going to rest... good-night, Erevis.
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Good night, Megumi.
<Terra> "Goodnight."
* Megumi smiles faintly as she curls slightly on her left to rest.
<Dias> 6The sounds of a punching bag being hit can be heard.
* Marcus` glances into the training room, leaning against the doorway.
<Terra> "I just wish I was better with these kind of things.."
* Dias stands there in a grey hoody and a wrapped blade strapped to his back. He pounds his fists against the punching bag, stepping from side to side.
<Marcus`> I can't believe you found the ripple blade in all of that mess.
<Dias> Had to hide it from you somehow.
* Terra heads out
<Marcus`> I still don't understand why you don't allow me to use it. Considering I actually fight with dual blades anyway.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis opens one eye to observe the sleeping Megumi, and Terra gone. She begins to sneak out of bed.
* Angela blinks and smiles a little, "Yeah he did... kinda working for Kat's team, kinda training... not sure what I'm gonna do, though Warren's pretty much taken over a lot of choices for the next 10 months."
<Marcus`> *Theron stands in front of Erevis as she rises, arms crossed.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis sneaks around Theron
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...where are you going?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis ignores Theron, who left them to die in the cold
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts back to stand in front of Erevis. "I'm sorry, is there a problem?"
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis eyes him. "Please move out of my way."
<Marcus`> *Theron arches a brow. "I am just curious where you are going in your current state."
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> You observe like you always do, then. 6* She steps around.
<Dias> It's my battle trophy. 6He nods to himself and he begins throwing elbows into the bag.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I'm sorry? *he shifts in front of her* If I observed I would just be following you along, not saying a word.
<Marcus`> That's a stupid reason. The one blade could be the difference between life and death for us.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis' hand is pressed against Theron's stomach, and he can feel something unpleasant.
<Dias> Nah, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be.
<Marcus`> *Theron reaches out to grab her wrist, pulling her arm back, doing a decent face to keep the unpleasant feeling hidden. "I do not understand why you are acting this way."
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis studies him. "Unhand me."
<Megumi> ...Mm, what are you... doing...?
<Marcus`> *Theron releases her. He glances up to Megumi, falling silent, his eyes moving back down to Erevis.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis rubs her wrist
* Megumi makes a shrill sound, something she has done in her sleep since her ribs being broken. Damn her and her incessant sleep-talking.
<DS[SleepBlink]> 6* Erevis glances back, then steps around Theron.
<Megumi> Sounds like... fun..
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes her wrist, then glances to Megumi again before stepping out of the room after Erevis. "Please explain what is wrong."
* Megumi is now known as Kitzzzune
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> I do not appreciate being watched. Please refrain. 6* She knows she's not in condition for the stairs, so she takes the elevator. She eyes the buttons, then bumps them with her elbow
* Marcus` shrugs, watching Dias. "So why are you wearing it?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see. I did not realize watching over you to make sure you were well would bother you. I apologize. *he places his hands and bows slightly*
<DS[SleepBlink]> <Erevis> Apology accepted. 6* She elevator doors shut.
<Dias> Duh, I'm training with the sword. 6He switches to knee strikes now.
<Marcus`> *Theron straitens up, tilting around, then dissappears.
<Marcus`> Training with the sword...without actually using it. Impressive.
<Dias> Now you get it. 6He continues kneeing the bag, his hair getting damn from sweat
<Marcus`> ...yeah. I don't.
<Dias> Nice shiner you had. 6He begins headbutting the bag now.
* Marcus` slides a hand up to his face, the black eye almost gone. "Angela hit me with the butt of her sword."
<Dias> Because you turned her down for sex?
<Marcus`> Training her. *he eyes Dias* So Warren had a device inplanted in my penis. If I get an erection because of Angela. I get shocked. Curious, huh?
<Dias> How stimulating. 6He notes as he steps back, shaking his head.
* Marcus` eyes Dias. "I wonder what he did to you."
<Dias> What who did to me?
<Marcus`> Oh nothing. *he waves his hand* So how exactly are you training with a sword?
<Dias> How aren't I? 6He scoffs and he moves to combos now, switching from knee strikes to elbow strikes
<Marcus`> You aren't using the sword at all.
<Dias> Obviously not.
<Marcus`> ...god you're stupid. *he steps back and turns, walking towards the kitchen*
* Dias continues to pound away on the punching bag
* Marcus` steps into the kitchen and moves over to the cabinets, searching through them, he begins to place various bottles of alcohol on the counter. Apparently he's been shopping.
* Marcus` then begins to mix them together in various ways, pausing once to refer to a piece of paper, before resuming.
Session Close: Wed Oct 31 00:00:00 2007

* Marcus` finishes concocting the drink together, it's an odd orange color, he pauses and then pours him a glass, tentatively taking a drink.
* Marcus` arches a brow and slides the drink in the fridge as he takes his glass and moves back towards the training room.
* Marcus` steps back in, watching Dias. Taking another drink. "Explain to me, the mothod behind this training."
<Marcus`> NRP: method*
<Dias> It's an ancient technique passed down by monks. You wouldn't understand. 6He stands infront of a speed bag, punching it
<Marcus`> I believe you're full of shit.
<Dias> I believe you're grumpy because you can't tap that shit.
<Marcus`> I don't want too. I'm grumpy because I never had any intention of doing things with her again and yet this still happens to me. And I blame you.
<Dias> I'm not the one that stuck it...Ok I was, but you fucked her first.
* Marcus` glares slightly, then shakes his head. "I don't get you sometimes man. To claim to be a superhero, you sure aren't one."
<Dias> Every superhero has a secret identity. 6He nods sagely
<Marcus`> And so you claim to be a rude, arrogant, crime infested moron?
<Dias> ...Pretty much.
<Marcus`> Whatever. *he takes another drink* What do I have to do to get that sword from you?
<Dias> You're not getting the sword from me.
<Marcus`> You aren't using it. I would actually use it.
<Dias> Hello?! 6He stops punching and motions to himself. 1"Training with it."
<Marcus`> You aren't using the damn sword. It's just on your back.
<Dias> Or am I?! 6He turns, punching the speed bag again.
<Marcus`> You're not. At all.
<Dias> Ask Kat, she understands. 6He whistles as he punches.
<Marcus`> Where's she at?
* Dias shrugs. 1"Taking advantage of a underage demon spawn?
<Marcus`> Ah. I see. *he sips again* Guess you'll just have to explain it to me.
<Dias> It's too complicated for the likes of you.
* Marcus` just scoffs. "You're a moron."
<Dias> With a kickass sword.
* Marcus` shakes his head. "You're boring." He steps back out and moves towards the main room, plopping down on the couch.

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071031.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.12.7 - 1 day later
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is back in her hospital bed.
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* Alicia is now known as Terra
* Megumi yawns slightly and rolls onto her side in a lethargic manner, quickly interrupted by rolling onto her bad ribs. As she jerks onto her back, her eyes snap open, wide awake and watering, but she just lets out a long, exasperated sigh.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in her bed, drawing on a notepad. She seems completely fine, and could be discharged any day now. Though there's still some problems with malnutrition, her wounds have healed nicely.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands over Chad's bed, staring down at him.
<Megumi> G-good morning, Erevis..
* Megumi smiles, twitching slightly as she beats back the effects of her ribs and sits up gently. Now that Erevis is better for the most part, she ponders trying to fix her ribs.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good morning, Megumi. 6* She looks over from her drawing pad. "How are you today?"
<Megumi> Rested, at least.
* Megumi tilts her head slightly, trying to get a better view. 1"You are drawing again?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. There was little else to do.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts Chad's right foot into a bowl of warm water, then steps out
* Megumi grins slightly. 1"Yes, that is true. I have been quite bored."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A nurse was by earlier, and wanted to know if you wanted a child's video game to play.
<Megumi> It is one thing to rest at home, practicing or reading or watching Little Aya scamper about, but it is quite devoid of its appeal in this bleak, white desert.
* Megumi stares for a moment, then puffs her cheeks slightly, indignant of the classification of a kid agian. 1"...Eh? Video game, what is that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. I believe it is a game you play on the HoloVid.
<Megumi> Like shougi or go?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am unsure.
<Megumi> Mm, maybe I will ask if she visits again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once.
* Megumi glances at the ceiling, squinting as she starts to focus on repairing her ribs in gentle phases. Hurts. 1"Wonder when we can go home.."
<Megumi> What is it you are drawing, hm?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to reveal that at this time.
<Megumi> Oh... Alright.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to drawing - secretively.
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Chad`Winters
<Megumi> I wonder if anyone will visit today; Would be nice to avoid the hospital food..
* Angela steps into Megumi's room as if on que, a bag in her hand.
* Megumi blinks several times. Convenient! Too convenient... 1"Miss Bennet?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Angela kes a seat between the beds, dropping the bag in her lap. "Hello."
<Angela> *takes a seat
* Chad`Winters jerks awake, his eyes looking around.
* Megumi clutches the bag, halting her healing work. 1"Eh?"
<Megumi> ...H-Have I been talking in my sleep again? How... did you know, Miss Bennet?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Daddy. You wet the bed.
* Chad`Winters looks around then down at his foot, he scowls as he rubs his face. 1"Yeah...Yeah I did..."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya laughs like this is hilarious
<Angela> "I've been in hospitals before."
<Angela> "Are you two recovering well?"
<Megumi> 6* Chii stands before a mirror, wearing a suede miniskirt and a white shirt ending in four points reminiscent of petals covered in an short, unbuckled black vest. Loose socks over a pair of unpolished black tennis shoes. Black, fingerless gloves are strapped at her wrists. She runs her finger beneath a simple leather choker and yawns behind her free hand as she steps into the living room from what is supposedly Cassandra's room.
<Chad`Winters> Wait until your birthday and I hang embarassing baby pictures of you up. 6He climbs out of bed.
<Megumi> I believe so. Thank you, Miss Bennet.
* Megumi studies the contents of the bag.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias coughs as steps out of the Kitcehn and he see's Chii.
<Angela> * Cheeseburgers.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doodles.
<Megumi> 6* Chii pauses, turning her head to Dias with a blank look. 1"...What? Nanda?"
<Megumi> Erevis, may I share one with you?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks confused
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks as he stares at Chii.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not currently hungry.
* Megumi removes them, offering up one, since Erevis avoids eating so much, needs every opportunity. 1"... I know but.."
<Chad`Winters> Right...Nevermind. Be good while I go shower. 6He moves out of the room and into the bathroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quietly closes the notepad. "Very well. I will share 1/4th of one."
* Megumi smiles weakly. 1"That will do, for now. I challenge you to eat more next time, until you are eating a recommended daily allowance!"
* Chad`Winters reaches in and turns the shower on.
* Megumi breaks off a part, somewhere roughly a fourth, and hands it to Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Water comes down
* Angela smiles and closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes it, and eats it. Apparantly not being baited by that sort of challenge.
<Megumi> 6* Chii stands there, waving her hand to see if Dias' motor skills have frozen.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tilts his head in response.
<Megumi> <Chii> Oh good, you did not die of shock. From what, however?
* Megumi eyes Erevis solemnly. 1"I already know I could eat more... Just a matter of keeping you healthy.."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just turns and moves back inside the kitchen.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to overeat.
* Chad`Winters undresses and steps into the shower
<DeathStar> 6* The water feels good, until suddenly it stops, and splurts out paint.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into Ariel's house without knocking, moving to Zephyr's room
<Megumi> 6* Chii shrugs and closes the door to Cassandra's room to allow Katrina rest/privacy, whatever this time of day and moves to sit on the couch, legs crossed at the knees as she hunches forward, turning on the holovid.
* Chad`Winters stands there, he scratches his nose.
<Angela> "It would be rude, not to eat all the food brought as a gift."
* Angela doesn't open her eyes, apparently resting.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Food can be eaten in delicate portions.
* Chad`Winters stands there as he waits for all the paint to come out and water to come out again.
<Megumi> Mmhmm, but a hard working woman like yourself often needs more! You exert yourself more than the same like person who does not train as vigorously or expend their energy as fervently.
<Angela> "Unless it goes bad." *she leans forward, tying her long mane of hair back*
<Megumi> You can always adjust if you feel that it is going to waste.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses to steal a muffin from Ariel's food supply, then heads up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps outside of the kitchen, juggling a banana, an orange, and some other odd fruit he doesn't know.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis listens politely, without responding.
* Xan|Skateboarding is now known as Marcus`
<Megumi> Do you enjoy visiting Erevis, Miss Bennet?
<Angela> "I enjoy visiting friends."
<Megumi> 6* Chii grumbles. The soap opera she had been enjoying appears to have been cancelled. She gives the cartoons a chance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to drawing.
* Chad`Winters sighs and steps out, dripping paint. He grabs a towel and begins wiping the paint off.
<DeathStar> 6* The towel sticks to Chad
* Chad`Winters hangs his head and he grimaces and yanks the towel off
<Megumi> Mm, please continue to visit Erevis, then.
* Megumi smiles, taking conservative bites out of the cheeseburger, despite the amount she can eat overall.
<Marcus`> That's no way to be, Megumi. *he stands in the doorway, arms crossed*
<Megumi> Huh?
<Angela> "How are you Miss Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up, apparantly assuming Angela was here to see Megumi. "I am well."
<Marcus`> Angela's your friend, isn't she?
* Marcus` remains in the doorway, leaning against it.
* Megumi inclines her head slightly. 1I do not know. We have not been very friendly recently..."
* Chad`Winters grabs another towel, moving to grab one in the furthest back.
<Megumi> I assumed with their histories being longer that she was here to visit Erevis, like you.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves down a hallway.
<Marcus`> I'm here to visit you both. *he notes, pulling up his hand to eye his wrist, he pauses and pokes it, shaking his head, looking back to Megumi*
<Angela> "I was here to see you both."
* Megumi blinks at the two of them for a moment, shifting uneasily as she gazes down at the remaining bit of the second cheeseburger awkwardly. 1"...O-Oh.."
<Angela> "It's good to hear you are well, Erevis."
* Angela stands and stretches, apparently ready to go.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you, Angela Bennet.
* Chad`Winters steps out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He move back into his room
<Marcus`> I may be hard on you. But it's to help build moral fiber.
* Megumi sets the cheeseburger down and holds her hands before her, bowing her head since she's sitting. 1"I apologise. I... did not see it that way."
<Megumi> Thank you both for visiting..
* Chad`Winters moves over and grabs some clothes.
* Marcus` smiles slightly, falling silent.
* Angela pats her head gently. "Apology accepted, Meg-chan."
<Marcus`> You're looking good Erevis. *he notes after a moment* I dare say you look in tip top health. Well, almost.
* Megumi smiles slightly, one eye closed. Her ears flick after a second. "1Oh!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
<Megumi> You two might know. What is a video game?
<Marcus`> Type of electronic media that requires inputs from the user to cause things to happen on the screen. Driving cars and things like that.
<Angela> "I make them, as a bit of a side hobby when not building cannons capable of wiping out fleets."
* Angela smiles a little.
* Terra heads in, finally, carrying a small box of biscuits.
* Megumi stares between the two. 1...I do not understand entirely. I suppose I would understand better if I saw one-- It is supposed to be fun, right? The nurse seems to have wondered if I would want one."
<Marcus`> Children usually play video games. And you looks young.
* Marcus` glances at Terra as she steps past him. "Why I feel neglected." He glances down, putting on a sad face.
* Terra looks over to Marcus. "Sorry?"
<Megumi> Can they be played with more than one person?
<Terra> "Video games? Some can."
<Angela> "Many of them can."
* Marcus` glances up. "Didn't even say hi." He glances away again, sighing.
* Megumi holds her hands up energetically, wincing slightly, but not as bad as usual, then recovers. It's a posture she has performed rarely as of late. 1"Yay, we should play some together, then!"
<Terra> "Hi Marcus."
<Megumi> Activities are always more fun in groups.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis attempts to remain unseen as this group activity is planned.
* Marcus` brightens up. "Hi."
* Megumi sees Terra and darkens slightly, a certain memory in her mind.
<Terra> "... did I come at a bad time?"
<Megumi> Um, if it is anything like volleyball, I ...I do not want to play with Madame Terra.
<Megumi> I still want Erevis on my team though..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not desite to play video games.
* Terra rubs the back of her head, laughing nervously
* Marcus` keeps his arms crossed, just watching them for now.
* Megumi turns her head slightly to Erevis, pouting. 1"How do you know? You did not know what they were either..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They do not accomplish anything.
<Megumi> Fun is not always about accomplishing something.
* Megumi glances off, thinking to herself to apply that being biologically-unforthcoming.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not find it productively forthcoming.
* Megumi recoils slightly!
<Angela> "Many are designed to educate and sharpen reaction times."
* Megumi chimes, 1"Ohh...?" matter of factly. 1"So they can be helpful."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis attempts to look more interested in her notepad.
<Angela> "As Seraphna I spent many years training in advanced once, we simply call them battle simulations."
<Marcus`> If she doesn't want to play them. Stop trying to make her. *he says after a moment*
<Angela> *ones
<Angela> "...I'm only explaining what they are."
<Marcus`> I'm talking to Megumi.
<Angela> "...Right."
* Megumi glances to Marcus. 1"Eh? If she does not want to, she will not. She is Erevis."
<Terra> "I love that military training gets called a game."
<Marcus`> I'm sure if you bother her enough. She will.
<Megumi> She seems to enjoy drawing and painting. That is enough.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks relieved.
* Megumi grins. 1"If I really want to see her good side, I will ask to go skating."
<Megumi> Even though I am terrible at it..
<Terra> "..."
* Marcus` tilts his head, "Well Erevis, I was just stopping by to see how both you and Megumi were. But it's just a quick stop, so i'll be going. You both be well."
<Megumi> Be well, Mister Jones!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Goodbye, Marcus Jones.
<Terra> "Take care."
* Marcus` smiles a nods to them both. "Don't forget to eat. Terra brought you some biscuits." He winks at Terra, then turns to step out.
<Terra> "Oh, Erevis? I... yeah. These are for you."
* Terra hands the biscuits over
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you, Terra Kenshaw. 6* Bows and takes the bag.
* Megumi taps her lip and eyes Angela. 1"Is there something between you and Mister Jones, Miss Bennet?"
* Angela eyes her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to drawing
<Angela> "The call of the unrequited."
* Angela just nods, and turns, moving to leave. "I have training to do."
<Megumi> Huh...? I meant more of a rivalry... Um... Oh, take care, Miss Bennet!
* Angela smiles, "Oh definately no rivalry."
* Angela nods to her. "Take care, you too Erevis."
<Terra> "Hmmm..."
<Terra> "See you, Angela."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good bye, Angela Bennet.
* Angela smiles to Terra, "See you too."
* Angela steps out, walking in the direction Marcus went.
* Marcus` watches Angela walk by from the corner he is hiding in.
* Megumi seems especially cheery by this point. 1"How are you, today, Madame Terra?"
<Terra> "Not so bad, really."
* Chad`Winters moves back into the living room and heads outside.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Megumi> 6* Chii stares as Dias walks by juggling fruits.
* Angela stops, turning and pointing to said corner. "You don't need to avoid me that much."
* Marcus` pauses and slowly pulls down a branch from a fake tree over his face.
<Megumi> Have you sorted any of your feelings out?
<Angela> "We can still be friends you know... and I need a good sparring partner still."
* Marcus` lets the branch fly back up to its spot. "What are you going on about?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes moving back inside, dragging a water hose, he whistles innocently
<Terra> "A bit.. I'm going to do my best to be worth knowing. Hopefully, that'll be enough."
<Terra> "I'm probably worrying too much, but I don't like not having control over things. Maybe that's a personal flaw in itself."
<Angela> "Why are you hiding?"
<Megumi> 6* Quickly seeing this possibly get out of hand, Chii breaks her don't ask don't tell policy and inquires of Dias. 1"What in the world are you doing?"
<Marcus`> I thought it was funny. *he shrugs, stepping out of the corner*
<Megumi> I think so... One has control of their feelings and what they do about them, but you cannot expect to control someone else's...
<Chad`Winters> Watering. 6He turns and begins pulling more house in
* Angela smiles, "Well, it was cute."
<Terra> "I don't even try there, but... not being able to do anything doesn't sit well with me."
* Angela sighs, "I went to see Ariel."
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<Megumi> <Chii> Watering what?
* Marcus` begins to walk, glancing at her. "Oh? Finally get rid of her?"
<Angela> "In a way, we made up. The issue is at least resolved."
<Marcus`> I'm sure Ariel didn't actually care enough, so she just said ok whatever. *he says, pushing his hands into his pockets.*
<Dias> Oh typical water needing things. 6He grabs the end of the hose and moves down a hallway.
<Angela> "Probably."
<Megumi> <Chii> Sou ...ka...
<Marcus`> Alls well that ends well, though. *he smirks*
<Megumi> 6* Chii goes back to watching the holovid nervously, then after a while, ventures to Cassandra's room.
* Dias reaches into his closet and pulls out his tact belt and places it around his waist. He than moves out of the room. 1"Aya dear. Road trip time."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yay!
* Angela smiles. "Well, I picked up lunch for them, but didn't get any muyself, feel like pizza?"
* Marcus` glances at her. "Well I already ate. But I can keep you company if you want."
* Terra pauses. "Actually, giving it thought, maybe I am too concerned about others opinions of me."
<Dias> 6Chad grabs Aya's coat and puts it on her, putting on her gloves and stocking cap. He picks her up and heads outside to their car.
<Angela> "I'd like that."
<Megumi> It is possible. I know I have been bothered by things that existed only in my own mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya wiggles.
* Marcus` looks forward, before glancing down at the sidewalk below him. "So i'm assuming you had to luck with Warren?"
* Angela walks, assuming he comes with her. "In a way."
<Marcus`> In a way? I still get shocked if I start to get turned on by you.
<Angela> "Ten months, and he'll undo it."
<Dias> 6Water begins to trickle down the hallway.
<Marcus`> ...well that's just lovely news. *his words drip with sarcasm*
* Angela sighs softly. "Yeah... at least it's not permenant..."
<Megumi> 6* Chii relates what she has witnessed to Katrina, a tentative nervousness in her poise.
* Marcus` shakes his head. "It doesn't matter. Clearly i've lost my attraction to you. It just means I can't train with you, or sleep in the same bed with you, for fear of that attraction coming back."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina listens, and goes to investigate, a tentative ass kicking in her poise.
<Dias> 6Kat would here a schlopping noise as she steps onto the carpetted hallway.
* Angela stares, "C-Can't even train...?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> DIAS!
<Marcus`> Fighting turns me on. *he says with a shrug*
<Angela> "Can we... in ten months...?"
<Megumi> 6* Chii pokes her head outside the room, attempting to study what has occured as Katrina shouts.
* Dias peers out of the training room down the hallway at Kat. 1"...Yes?"
<Marcus`> Alot can happen in ten months. We might not even be here. *he notes ominously*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> YOU ARE RUINING OUR CARPET!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains predictably quiet.
<Angela> "...If we're still here." *she bites her lower lip softly*
<Marcus`> I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
* Dias looks down then steps out, wearing a bathing suit. He kneels and touches it. 1"...I have a leak than." 6He moves back into the training room.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> .... You---you're fired!!
<Megumi> <Chii> Nandatou...? What the hell is he doing...
* Dias pops his head back out. 1"What? I'll clean it up."
<Megumi> 6* Chii wanders over to the training room and peeks inward.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pinches her nose, then goes to the kitchen without another word.
* Megumi turns her head to Erevis rather abrubtly, in this awkward conversation. 1"Erevis, can we go on another date when we get out of this place?"
<DeathStar> 6* Only an Erevis scarecrow remains, as the real Erevis has escaped.
<Dias> 6The hose leads to a wall, and then a smaller hole just big enough for a person to squeeze through which leads to a jacuzzi outside.
<Angela> "We can still be friends at least... right...?"
<Marcus`> Why wouldn't we be? *he glances at her*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the fridge and takes the nearest alcoholic drink and guzzles it without looking
<Marcus`> Unless you sleep with your friends. *he notes*
* Angela shrugs. Looking away.
<Marcus`> 6*Katrina would notice that the orange liquid she is drinking would be very familiar.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You wish to go skating again?
* Marcus` eyes her. "Problem?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wipes her mouth away after finishing the liquid and puts down the cup.
<Angela> "N-No..."
<Marcus`> 6*A note is attached that says, "Marcus' Don't Touch."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks out.
<Marcus`> Sure seems like there is a problem.
* Megumi nods slowly. 1"We could! ...I would also ask to go to where we first met, but I think that is a bit out of the question. I do not think without help we would be allowed off-planet, heheh. So how about where we first met on Earth, hm?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You wish to go back to the resturarant?
<Megumi> Afterward, would it not be pleasant?
<Angela> "I value our friendship."
<Marcus`> Really? But i'm just a horny asshole.
* Dias finds a leak in the hose and he runs off to get patch materials
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns the water off completely.
<Angela> "You're my friend."
<Marcus`> I see. You're my friend too. *he looks forward again*
* Dias comes running back in and stops eyeing the hose. 1"Huh...it fixed itself."
<Megumi> <Chii> You might actually like what he's rigged, Katrina."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I suppose it is so.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina debates doing what Cheryl would do - which would be to strangle Dias with the hose.
* Angela walks with him, heading downtown. "So Kat let you back in huh?"
<Megumi> 6* Chii leans on the wall, arms crossed. 1"Maybe not the hole in the wall, but what's outside is a nice thought."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I want this carpet dried within the hour, Dias!
* Dias leans back out. 1"What?"
<Marcus`> I payed for the holovid. And accepted doing the outside upkeeping of the HQ.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dry the carpet in an hour. Or you're not allowed in here again
<Dias> Fine...6He stomps into the main room, making schlop noises as he moves
<Angela> "Nice... I can give you the money for the TV... it was my fault."
* Megumi smiles softly at Erevis. 1"Mmh, I am glad. It will be nice to spend time like that again."
<Marcus`> I don't recall you making me lift it up and throw it out the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to drawing. Terra, she assumes, has taken a journey in her own mind and is no longer mentally there.
<Megumi> Madame Terra, you should visit for dinner more often, but... Perhaps try knocking once in a while so that we have a bit of warning.
* Dias moves over to his cell and he grabs it, dialing on it. 1"Hey, Dias again, Yeah I did it again." 6He glances back at Kat. 1"Eh, just a wet carpet. Perfect. Bye."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares. "Who was that?"
<Megumi> <Chii> Wow, even he has connections.
* Dias stares at Chii as if she's retarded.
<Angela> "It's my guardian that did this to you."
<Megumi> 6* Chii returns the sentiment plainly.
<Marcus`> Yeah. That's warren's deal. Not yours. I guess I should've just kept my penis in my own pants.
<Dias> Ok...6He just shakes his head. 1"Professional cleaners...or sorts."
<Dias> NRP: of
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Define 'of sorts' for me.
<Megumi> 6* Chii steps back a bit, but smirks, a bit amused by the rather mundane but disorientated events of this day.
<Terra> "Yeah, I'll knock in future."
<Terra> "Anyway, I guess I should be going."
* Angela looks away, blushing. "I didn't mind being with you... you know..."
<Megumi> Take care, Madame Terra, thank you for bringing food for Erevis.
<Marcus`> Oh well thanks. Since you don't mind, then that makes it ok. Its not like you like being with me or anything.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, thank you. Goodbye, Terra Kershaw
<Dias> They specialize in cleaning things...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She just goes to her bedroom
<Terra> "You take care too."
<Dias> What? You wanted it cleaned up. I'm getting it cleaned up. The who and how is un important as long as the what is accomplished.
* Terra heads out
* Angela stops.
<Angela> "I-I didnt mean it like that..."
* Marcus` slides to a stop. "I'm just being mean. I know."
<Dias> You need to lighten up some Kat. 6He rocks on his feet
* Angela blushes and hops over to catch up to him. "Well it was mean."
<DeathStar> 6* A girl walks up and smiles at Marcus. "Hey, Marcus. How you've been doing. You haven't called since the other day." 6* She ignores Angela like she's a plague.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at the girl. "I'm...good. Just had alot going on. How about you?"
<DeathStar> <Girl> I'm good. 6* She slides up to Marcus. "Want to go out tonight?"
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Tonight eh? Well it's a little short notice." he rubs his chin, thinking.
<Megumi> 6* Chii looks at Dias, considering. 1"Lighten... up..? Maybe." 6She turns and wanders after Katrina.
<Dias> Do you do anything on your own accord? 6He eyes Chii
* Angela watches them quietly.
<DeathStar> <Marcus> I'll make it worth your time.
<DeathStar> (Er, woman to Marcus)
<Marcus`> NRP: LOL!
<Marcus`> The bar on 3rd. At 8. That sound alright?
<DeathStar> <Woman> I'll be there. 6* She kisses his cheek and walks off with a saucy walk
<Angela> "...She's nice."
<Megumi> 6* Chii pauses, looking over her shoulder. 1"...I never had the ability before, but although I do now and sometimes do, I don't prefer to. Is there anything wrong with doing what pleases you?"
* Marcus` watches her walk off, then after she is gone glances up to Angela. "It's shame I can't remember her name for the life of me."
<Megumi> <Chii> I would think you'd understand that much.
* Angela starts walking again. "Shame."
* Marcus` begins walking again. "Well you're mood just died. Should I have blew her off?"
<Dias> It's just that your practically attached to Kat's hip. Do you guys pee together?
<Megumi> <Chii> Nope. Should we?
<Dias> Not my stick. 6He shudders
<Megumi> 6Chii just laughs and leaves.
<Angela> "No... it's your life..."
<Marcus`> But you like me. *he notes*
* Angela looks forward. "It's not my place to tell you what to do... Marcus..."
* Marcus` eyes her for a moment. "But if you're going to get this upset, then I should obviously cancel."
* Angela closes her eyes and forces a smile. "I'm alright."
<Marcus`> Oh that's the lamest smile i've ev-SARAH! *he snaps suddenly*
* Dias sighs then moves to the front door, opening it. 4 girls eye him. 1"Just on time ladies. The mess is this way. 6He leads them to the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi.
<Angela> "Glad you remember it."
<Marcus`> Boy am I glad too. Would I be embarassed if I called her Sandy or something.
<Angela> "Yeah..."
<Angela> "Well hey... maybe you'll get lucky, she looked eager..."
* Angela spots the pizza shop, heading towards it.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "I'm sure you'd be happy if I got lucky."
<Marcus`> You know, if you just admitted that you didn't want me to go. Then I may just not go.
<Angela> "I don't Marcus. But that shouldn't matter."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps out of the pizza shop with a pizza. He spies the two approaching
<Marcus`> Why shouldn't it? *he is looking to Angela and doesn't notice Drake*
* Megumi slowly turns and peers at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers back.
* Megumi blinks, Erevis was peering first.
<Megumi> Hm?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Angela stops, looking at him, "I'm... that is I..."
* Megumi smiles. 1"Did you wish to say something?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head as he stares at the two, then walks off with his pizza
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis twists her brow like she's thinking.
* Marcus` watches her, waiting.
* Megumi continues to smile, being patient. She's also focusing on healing herself now that people are gone anyway, so a little time won't hurt anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to her notepad.
* Angela looks down, "I don't know why it shouldn't..."
* Marcus` glances up at the sky slightly before looking back to Angela. "Are you falling in love with me?"
* Angela stares at him, she opens her mouth, then closes it.
<Marcus`> Should I take that silence as a yes?
* Angela remain speechless, and just turns away, hiding her face.
<Marcus`> That's the stance you take when you're afraid to admit something. Somethine you may see as a weakness. *he notes casually*
<Angela> "...You know me too well."
<Marcus`> It's like reading a book with a step by step guide, pictures and all. *he notes with a slight smirk*
* Megumi laughs softly. 1"I suppose not..."
* Megumi sits up slightly, twisting to the left and right, at first she's still smiling, but after the second or third she clenches her eyes shut and grinds her teeth slightly, then sighs. At least it's better. She lies back down and stares at the ceiling.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should be more careful
<Megumi> Eh..! ...Well, I...
<Angela> "You're mean still... yes... I am."
* Megumi laughs nervously. 1"I will..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She stares at her notepad now, as if debating what to say
* Marcus` frowns slightly. "That's not exactly a good thing."
* Angela looks hurt as she stares at her feet. "It's weak..."
<Dias> 6The noise of vacuums and such can be heard from the hallway.
<Marcus`> Well you can't help how you feel, darlin. I'm just saying i'm not exactly a good choice for those feelings.
* Angela sighs and steps into the pizza parlor.
* Marcus` steps in after her.
* Marcus` waits for her to pick out a place to sit down.
* Angela takes a seat in a small booth.
* Marcus` sits down across from her, cupping his hands together.
* Angela looks at him, adjusting her seating a little, then looks down at the table. "Why is it such a bad choice to love you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi again
<Marcus`> Look at me. I'm a mess. *he says as if it should be simple enough*
* Megumi seems to be debating how many tiles are on the ceiling, or recalling instruction manuals, one of the two.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What will we do when we return?
<Megumi> Hm?
<Megumi> What do you mean?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> As far as us. You won on the ice.
<Angela> "...You are?"
<Marcus`> Oh come'on. I have no idea what I want to do, i'm horny all the damn time, and I get shaky in the knees when people start talking about commitment. I'm not relationship material. Hell, i'm alot like Dias, which should be proof enough that I'm not worth the heartache.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks in and stares at the women cleaning. He falls over from blood loss.
<Dias> 6The girls turn and looks at Drake, all wearing skimpy cleaning outfits. One of them chimes up. 1"Do you want us to clean that up to?"
* Megumi squints slightly. 1"That is hard for me to say alone, Erevis. As I said to Terra... It is for the two of us to decide."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She stares at the bed
<Angela> You aren't like Dias.
<Marcus`> I'm more like him than I show. I'm just not a criminal, that's all.
<Megumi> I would obviously like for us to be closer-- Yet I told you back then, I was only fighting so that you would not dismiss the idea without giving it a chance thinking it would hurt me, not to force you into it anyway.
<Dias> ..Yeah might as well. Kat'll try blaming this on me somehow in the end. 6He sighs.
<Angela> "You have morals. That alone amkes you different."
* Megumi rubs her lip with her thumb. 1"If it hurts too much... That is for me to decide."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This was your doing. 6* She notes, having snuck up on Dias.
<Megumi> 6* Chii is nowhere to be seen in this matter-- for some reason.
<Marcus`> Having some type of morals doesn't make me worth the trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs.
* Dias looks over at the girl. 1"See? Told you she would." 6The girls all just nod as if all understanding.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts her hands on her hips. "Hey!"
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts behind Katrina. "Want me to kill them?"
<Dias> Woh woh woh. He looks over at Theron. 1"I believe the ladies would appreciate staying alive." 6The girls all now in agreement
<Angela> "This doesn't change my feelings."
* Megumi opens one eye and gazes at Erevis, 1"Oi, I also said I would stop you from doubting so much. It makes me sad to hear you sigh like that... If you really want me to make all the decisions I can." 6She grins mischievously, such as when they've wrestled or back on the PAX when she was about to do something rash...
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see. That is unfortunate. My blades hunger for blood. *he frowns, and shifts away*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Please make the decisions.
<Dias> Than go stab yourself ya crazy Erusian...
* Marcus` sighs. "You'll get your heart broken." He says after a moment of silence.
<Dias> 6The 4 girls moves over to Drake and begin to clean up the bloodied mess.
<Angela> "Been there, done that, I can handle the risk."
* Marcus` eyes her. "I'm serious. There's no way I will be in a relationship. Not even with you. And there is no way I can go 10 months without sex."
* Angela nods. Not saying anything, looking at the table.
<Marcus`> I'm a guy. A guy with commitment issues. *he takes a sip of the water that was mysteriously given to him by a waitress.*
<Angela> "You don't have to commit... just be around..."
* Dias crosses his arms as he looks at Kat. 1"Happy?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe.
* Marcus` glances at the table a moment before looking up. "Be around? I don't understand."
<Dias> Don't worry 'bout the wall either. Once the plumbers come in and lay some pipe. 6He wiggles his eyesbrows at her. 1"I'll have some guys patch the wall up.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... If I was to kill you, would I get off on an insanity plea.
<Angela> "...I feel so weak..."
* Dias shrugs. 1"Only one way to find out. So, wanna check out this bitching jacuzi?"
* Megumi seems to have been struck speechless by the plain response from Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? By myself?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at the bed sheets, not comfortable enough to look up
<Dias> Well I was going to hop in and try it out.
<Marcus`> Why?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, in that case, I'll pass.
<Dias> Why do you hate me so much? 6He tilts his head at her.
<Angela> "Before I met you, I didn't care about these things... I didn't have these emotions..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't hate you at all. I just know better than being in a jacuzi with you."
<Dias> Scouts honor. 6He does the scouts honor sign
<DeathStar> <Katrina> For what?
<Megumi> Erevis, why would you want that? You have your own thoughts on things, right? I mean, it seems you do from how you are... refraining.
<Dias> That I won't hit on you in their.
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "Then blame me. Blame me that I caused you to be weak and hate me."
<Marcus`> It would be the easy thing to do.
<Angela> "I could never hate you Marcus..."
<Marcus`> Really? I hate myself sometimes. Why couldn't you?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Define hit on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ........
<Dias> Any sort of advance, sexual innuendos, playful touching, foreplay, 1st and 2nd base....
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. Fine.
<Megumi> Come on. If you cannot tell me, who can you?
* Angela looks up at him as though he's insane.
<Angela> "How could I hate you? I care about you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not like situations like these. I do not know what to do. Hence, I do not wish to make decisions.
<Marcus`> I'm a player, Angela. I go to bars, I meet random girls and take them home and have sex with them. Then once a week I go to the doctor to make sure i've not contracted a disease. Rinse and repeat. How could you care about a man like that?
<Angela> "Because why I care has nothing to do with that."
* Megumi turns on her side, only bothered a bit by her side at this point. 1"Well, Erevis... I do not really know what to do either. However, since it involves making us happy in the scheme of things, I am willing to learn bit by bit. I believe always we really need to do is what we like to, and go from there."
* Marcus` sighs. "You realize I won't change my ways. Right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And if I like things as they are?
* Angela shrugs.
* Megumi seems a little confused. 1"You like the hospital?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was referring to us.
<Megumi> Oh, well...
* Marcus` stares at her. "We can't really even sleep in the same bed. Lean against each other...kiss. Any of that. How could you want that? 10 months of that."
* Megumi grins. 1"Well, I would not say that it leaves something lacking, but we were happy to an extend, were we not? That seems fine with me. I suppose the next time you decide to stray from that in my favor, I will just consider it a special occasion or a treat."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Megumi blinks a few times and frowns at the floor. 1"Eh, that made me sound more like a cat than I would have liked. Hrmph."
* Angela tilts her head at him. "All that's new to me still... I'm not as needy of such things as you are. I can wait. Have your fun."
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "This some kind of a trick?"
<Dias> <Girl> All done Dias. Anything else you need...cleaned?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Boy, that sounded bad.
<Angela> "No Marcus."
<Dias> Nah, I'm good. Did you make sure he has that new car smell? 6A girl sprays Drake so he smells like a new car.
<Marcus`> Alright, how about this. Friends until the 10 months are up and then we'll see where that goes, alright? *he holds out his hand to shake on this deal*
* Angela takes it. "Deal."
* Dias looks over at Kat. 1"I did mention the...of sorts part didn't I?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll go find something to wear in the jacuzi. 6* She walks off.
* Megumi looks back to Erevis finally and smiles again. 1"Just do not decide that 'things are fine' because you doubt or worry that because you do not know what to do that it would not work. After all, if I thought about that kind of thing..."
* Marcus` shakes her hand firmly. "I'll be right back. Bathroom." He stands and steps off, moving into the bathroom. he pulls up his cell phone, calling Dias.
<Megumi> I would have been erased, most likely and would not even be here in the logical order of things in our past.
* Dias pulls his phone to his ear. 1"Yo."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi again.
<Marcus`> <On Phone> So Angela just admitted she loved me.
<Dias> <P> Didn't I warn you about that before?"
* Dias moves off to the training room. He ducks under the hole in the wall and moves to the jacuzi, climbing in and turning it on.
* Angela orders a few slices as she waits.
* Megumi blinks at Erevis. 1"What?"
<Marcus`> "Yeah...well I strait up told her that I wasn't interested. That i'm not going to sit around for 10 months to go by for her to turn 18."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What what?
* Megumi flails lightly. 1"Wah! It is hard to tell when you are holding something back or not."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks confused.
<Dias> Well let's roughly 310 dollars. Let's say an average of one girl a night during the weekdays and then 2 for for sat and sunday...Thats' a lot of different girls you can have.
<Dias> NRP: days not dollars
<Marcus`> Yeah well this is what's tripping me up. She said she didn't mind, she just like being around me. That...I could do whatever I want. Should I be scared. Like...is this a trap or something?
* Angela pulls out a datapad, checking a few things, sighing gently.
<Dias> <P> Of course it's a trap. But than again she's dumb enough to let you dance through as many guys as possible and still have a chance with her.
* Marcus` sighs, eyeing himself in the mirror. "Well hell, look at me. I'd wait 10 months just for a chance to have sex with me."
<Dias> <P> I wouldn't.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets into the jacuzi finally.
<Marcus`> Well you don't matter. *he glances at a spot on his cheek* So I just told her we would be friends and see what happens after 10 months.
* Terra has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Dias holds the phone back. 1"Kat." He moves the phone back to his ear. 1"Understandable. So what do you plan on doing now?"
* Megumi reaches out slowly resting her hand on the edge of Erevis' bed. 1"Mm... I... No, never mind..."
<Megumi> Erevis, I am... going to rest for a little while. With a bit more energy, I think I can finally get to the point that they will let us out of here."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts her hand on MEgumi's hand. "Very well."
<Marcus`> I have a date with that Sarah girl. You remember, the one that decided to give me a lap dance last time. And i'm going. I'll be her friend, but unless something happens I don't see my feelings change.
Session Close: Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
* Megumi looks at it, gulps slightly, but smiles, closing her eyes to try and rest.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Who's that?
<Dias> <P> Wear a rubber. Aren't you glad I got this jacuzi Kat?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not sure. It's freezing out here.
<Marcus`> Oh god, I know. I hope this one isn't the one that'll give me an STD. *he pauses* You're in a jacuzi with Kat?
<Dias> <P> Yes. 6He looks at Kat. 1"Turn the heat up than." 6He motions to the controls.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns it up.
<Marcus`> Take a picture and send it to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seemingly waits for Megumi to fall asleep.
* Terra has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Terra
* Megumi does, as indicated by eventual murmuring in her sleep about memories.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sneaks off.
* Megumi subconsciously reaches for something missing!
<DeathStar> 6* She doesn't find it! HAw!
<Dias> <P> Nah, I can't do that. I made a deal.
<Marcus`> Then I won't believe you. Anyway, she probably thinks i'm taking a massive poo. I told her I was going to the bathroom, i'll see you later.
<Dias> <P> Just remember, don't do it doggy style. It's degrading to yourself."
<Marcus`> I'll keep that in mind. Tell imaginary Kat howdy. *he hangs up, stepping out and sitting back down across from Angela*
* Angela is finishing her second slice. "Hey."
<Marcus`> Howdy. *he sips his water, falling silent again*
* Dias hangs the phone up and tosses it back inside. 1"Now this is what I call relaxing."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And why did we need this?
<Megumi> 6Chii peers through the opening in the wall. 1"Because you like getting wet?"
<Dias> It's relaxing. It add's to the value of the property. It's relaxing.
<Megumi> <Chii> Especially hot.
* Dias motions to Chii. 1"She said it not me.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> W-Who says I like getting wet?
<Megumi> <Chii> Huh, could have fooled me.
* Angela looks at the time. "When's your date again?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *slides down in the jacuzi, mumbling in the water*
<Marcus`> Uhh. I dunno. What time did I say?
<Megumi> 6She moves outward a bit, leaning with her hip out and left hand on it. She's in a two-piece made from what look like scarves tied at the sides in a mottled ash to white to grey pattern.
<Megumi> <Chii> You picked most of these out, after all.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *mumbles more*
<Megumi> <Chii> Subtly, but you picked the locations, heh.
* Dias looks at Chii. 1"You know, you really know how to ruin a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans over and grabs Chii, dragging her in.
<Megumi> 6Chii has about enough time to cry out slightly before gurgling into the water upper first, her tail sinking like some sort of naval battle scene.
<Angela> "8 PM."
<Marcus`> Oh lord. I have almost 8 hours. You wanting to get rid of me already, after that heart to heart we had?
<Dias> Gee, that was like a naval battle scene. 6He picks his nose.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? I don't get it.
<Marcus`> 6*Someone clears their throat behind Erevis.
<Dias> Either do I. I just say'em as I read 'em 6He picks at his teeth with his finger nail.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is meditating on the roof, with the snow falling down around her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...?
<Megumi> 6* Chii twists around and surfaces, gasping, ears sulking depressingly. She reaches up and seperates her bangs so that her yellowish eyes can give a low glare at Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waves.
* Angela smiles. "No, I was just testing."
<Marcus`> 6*After a moment, her cloak is drapped around her, then the crunching of the snow would signify that the person is walking away.
* Angela attacks the crust. "So we can't train... what can we do?"
<Marcus`> That's what I was trying to point out. I get aroused easy.
<Dias> ...Hold on a second Kat. 6He grabs his phone and begisn typing on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina splashes Chii's face.
<Megumi> <Chii> H-hey!
<Dias> 6Marcus' phone dings, apparently he got a message.
<Megumi> 6* Chii frowns and cups her hand, splashing back.
* Marcus` pauses and pulls up his phone, reading the message.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces like a cat.
<Dias> 6A picture of Angela naked and seductive is there.
* Marcus` widens his eyes and then hisses, doubling over, his forehead smacking the table as he is obviously shocked, he drops his phone.
* Dias laughs evilly, only assuming his plan worked.
* Angela sighs and picks up the phone, she eyes it, closes it and helps Marcus up. "I thought of something we can do together."
* Marcus` doesn't get up. He just holds up his index finger. After a minute or two he sits up. "...what's that?" he takes his phone and pockets it.
<Angela> "Let's kill Dias."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steals Chii's top.
<Marcus`> Oh i'm no murderer. But I have got to figure out what shocks him, cause I know Warren put something in him.
<Angela> "Apparently it's not me if he sent that."
* Dias eyes the two then sighs and he stands up, climbing out.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, did we run you off, Dias?
<Marcus`> Modified photo. I actually know the girl's body. But apparently it works even if your head is on the body.
<Dias> You were trying to run me off? 6He eyes her as he shakes himself off, steam rising from his body.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, you left after a sigh. Clearly, it was all us.
<Megumi> 6* Chii quickly crosses her arms about her giving a beligerant look to Katrina and waiting until she's distracted with Dias before attacking her beneath the water with her tail, lunging to steal her's.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a sound and ducks under before Dias can see anything
* Dias stares at Kat's boobs.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias is shocked.
<Megumi> <Chii> No, I think it's just me. He gets moody whenever I'm around-- He clearly likes you just fine.
<DeathStar> 6* In the brain
<Megumi> 6* Chii holds up Katrina's top, twirling it victoriously for the moment.
* Dias 's eyes roll back and he hits the ground, twitching.
<Angela> "This just sucks... you're the one I WANT to be able to look at me."
<Marcus`> Just take nude pictures of yourself and cut off the head. Wait...what if I put a bag on your head, eh? EH?
* Megumi taps Katrina's shoulder, motioning for her to sit up.
<Megumi> NRP: Chii.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hell no. He might wake up again.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Well, then whatever happened would happen again, wouldn't it?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think he just was so turned on, he passed out
* Dias 's hand grabs the edge of the jacuzi and he pulls himself up, a dazed look on his face.
<Megumi> <Chii> Since when does that happen to him?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. You okay, Dias?
<Dias> I don't know...*he rubs his face. 1"That was just wierd..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans forward to check his head, giving him a full view again
* Dias stares at Kat's lovely mountains.
<DeathStar> 6* Bzzzzt!
* Dias suddenly drops like a sack of potatoes again
* Angela looks at him.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wow. I wonder what's wrong with him.
<Marcus`> What?
* Dias pulls himself up again, his hands rubbing his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina ducks down.
<Angela> "I'm pretty sure he already thought of that. You'd know it was me, the face photo probably just registered it in your mind as me."
<Megumi> 6* Chii leans over the edge of the spa peering at him. 1"I don't know. It's kind of funny, though."
<Megumi> <Chii> Reminds me of a filler episode.
<Angela> "You could start thinking of me as Seraphna instead... see if that works."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii, show him your breasts.
<Megumi> <Chii> Wh-what!? No!
* Dias leans against the jacuzi, he splashes water against his face.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Come on! I want to see if he falls over!
* Marcus` shrugs. "I don't think Warren will be that easily fooled."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pinches her ass to make her hop up.
<Megumi> 6* Chii sits back, disgruntled.
<Megumi> 6* Chii shrieks and throws her hands back reactively, then blinks.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks innocent
<Angela> "But you think a bag over my head will do it?"
* Dias blinks as he stares at Chii's bumps.
<Marcus`> Haha, no. I just found the idea of it to be funny.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens to Dias.
* Megumi clutches herself and turns a dark shade of red in her pale face, sinking to just below her nose, blowing bubbles in the water.
<Megumi> NRP: Chii. =_=
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes her nails innocently.
<Dias> Thanks Kat. 6He gives her a thumbs up
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits up just enough for Dias to see her breasts.
* Dias stares
<DeathStar> 6* Bzzzzt
* Dias hits the ground.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I like this.
<Megumi> 6* Chii sits up slightly after Dias collapses the third time. 1"..Th-that was mean!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know.
<Megumi> <Chii> Hidoi kisama. Mou!
* Dias slowly stands up again. 1"What the hell's going on..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What's that mean?
<Megumi> 6* Chii peers up at him, sinking again. 1"Nothing... Mataku... Geez."
<DeathStar> * Katrinra grabs her under the water.
<Megumi> 6Chii lets out a distorted noise in the water, jerking sharply.
<Dias> Kat, let me see your phone quick. 6He holds his hand out
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't have a phone with me.
<Angela> "Mmm... well... what to do..."
<Angela> "Think you can sit in the same room as me and watch a movie without dying of electric shock?"
* Marcus` drums his fingers on the table slowly. "Hmmm. Maybe."
* Dias has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Angela takes his hand gently, getting up, "Then to my place."
* Marcus` pauses, eyeing the hand, then her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pinches Chii again
* Dias has joined #taw
* Angela looks at it, blushes a little, "Something wrong with my hand?"
<Marcus`> I...didn't know we were going to be holding hands.
<Dias> Oh....I see. 6He just scratches the back of his head, obviously confused.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should still have your own.
<Megumi> 6* Chii fights valiantly to not jerk above water, cringing away from Katrina.
* Marcus` sighs after a moment and then stands. "Lead the way then."
<Dias> Uh, nevermind about it.
<Angela> "...I was helping you up!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slides closer to Chii
* Angela takes her hand away, blushing more.
<Megumi> 6* Chii narrows her eyes suspiciously, circling.
<Marcus`> Like a little thing like you could really help me up. *he just seems to scoff*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stalks
<Megumi> <Chii> Eee! St-stay away!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay. 6* She stops suddenly and relaxes, closing her eyes.
* Dias just walks off, climbing through the hole he made.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren arrives home finally.
<Megumi> 6* Chii takes her top back, or uses Katrina's if necessary, splashes her and leaps out of the jacuzi.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sinks under the water
* Megumi takes the other top and makes her way for the bedroom, nyo ho ho ho'ing.
<Megumi> NRP: Chii >_>;
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns to bed.
* Marcus` eyes Angela just standing there. "Well...I only have so much time before my date you know..."
<Dias> 6As Warren opens the door knob, he'd find his hand sticking to the knob.
* Megumi has barely shifted positions at all, occasionally clutching her fingers at nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at the knob. He takes a knife and eyes his hand
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts her hand back in the old spot, and goes to sleep
<DeathStar> 6* Warren brings up the knife
<DeathStar> -END-

<DeathStar> Location: Erevis' House
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi is killing spires.
* Chad`Winters has joined #tawny
<Ariel> NRP: ...ack! I need one sec
* Megumi admires her work so to speak! No, really broods. Yes, broods. A deep sigh, bad mood, desire to drink, you know. She's a life screw-up. It all started with a girl...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cooks lunch, making a strange concoction with meat, carrots, and potatos.
* Ariel sits quietly in the kitchen, occasionally glancing out to the back. She sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not sigh, like the other two.
* Megumi never did realize the back was visible from the kitchen or would have gone back to sulking in bed .-.
* Ariel looks to Erevis, "...what's wrong with her?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns as the food cooks.
* Ariel nods slowly. "Alright... I'll go talk to her.
* Megumi makes experimental runs at punches and kicks while expending focus-- Striking two times easily within an unnoticeable difference in time, a trick she pulled on Ariel, but cannot seem to make a third strike quickly enough to keep up the farce that it's all at once.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head. "Thank you."
* Ariel gets up, using her crutch for support as she heads out to the back.
* Megumi pauses for some reason, staying deathly still-- Her ears twitch a tiny amount and she suddenly dashes behind the spire-- A truly inconspicuous hiding spot.
<Ariel> "Megumi..?"
* Megumi frowns, saying nothing!
* Megumi is a tree. A crystal tree. The spire actually starts to look like one... but pauses as she thinks of how ridiculous that is.
<Ariel> "...I know you're there."
* Megumi sulks "... A-am not.."
<Ariel> "Then how are you talking to me?"
<Megumi> "... I ...I am a figment of your imagination, miss knight."
<Ariel> "Well... then, I'll speak with my imagination then."
<Megumi> "... ... ..."
<Ariel> "So... why are YOU hiding?"
<Megumi> "I am not hiding."
* Megumi shifts on her feet. "An imagination need not hide."
<Ariel> "Avoiding contact and obscuring your location? That's hiding..."
<Megumi> "I am not here."
<Ariel> "......"
<Megumi> "... ...I am bad... at lying."
<Ariel> "I'm noticing this."
<Megumi> "I am sorry. Miss Erevis would disapprove."
* Megumi squints. "Strongly."
<Ariel> "She would."
<Ariel> "So... will you speak to me?
* Megumi looks even more depressed judging from body language. She moves, snapping her fingers, to dismantle the spire and the assorted weapons.
<Megumi> "As you wish."
* Xan|Gone is now known as Marcus`
<Ariel> "What's bothering you? You've been... withdrawn."
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<Megumi> "Yes. Withdrawn is a good word."
<Megumi> (Let's pause. Clearly too much at once)
* Megumi is now known as Tomoe
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* Tomoe is now known as Lilith`
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Lilith` is now known as Kitzzzune
* Dias waits for this exciting mini to come to it's conclusion
<DeathStar> Maybe tomorrow!
<Dias> BUT I CANNOT WAIT!
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
* Xan|Gone is now known as Marcus`
