* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071025.log'
<DeathStar> 6* The lights go off. And a blinding flashbang follows it.
<Terra> "Agh, damn it..."
<Megumi> Be quiet! I cannot...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> GAH! MY EYES! 6He flails about, grabbing onto the nearest thing.
<Terra> <Vyssa> *shakes her head in an attempt to clear it*
* Marcus` hisses. "Shit." He grumbles, shielding his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces, closing her eyes in surprise and pain. Erevis tilts her head, not having looked fully on anyway. Zephyr stands up as the brightness fades
* Chad`Winters rubs his eyes as he tries to regain his vision
* Gabriella grabs hold of her eyes and cries out.
<Megumi> ...I think I lost her.
<DeathStar> 6* The lights come back on
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Likewise..."
<Marcus`> *Theron peers out at the room, to see just what happened to everyone.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands there, her gun sweeping the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Peacemaker is .... still there. Just kidding. She's gone.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well that was fun.
<Cassandra`> ...we got a REAL Dark One loose on the station now...
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Now that's what I cann a grandouse exit.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: call
<Terra> <Vyssa> "... yes. How is security?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dammit. 6* She sounds frustrated.
<Megumi> That is what I call an inconvenient loss.
* Marcus` instantly glances towards Warren.
<Megumi> Now we... we have something terrible loose and no idea where to stop it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is gone.
<Gabriella> Angela> "Don't bother putting out an alert for Peacemaker, she cna just change to another soul's form."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> It's alright, we've had to cut back on their usefullness tho.
<Marcus`> ...Warren is gone. *he informs those not paying attention*
<Gabriella> "Warren...?"
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Security or Engineering... I know, Marcus."
* Gabriella looks around.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks to see who he's grabbing.
<Gabriella> "Wh-Where is he?"
<Cassandra`> ...this bites.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What? Did she take him?
<Marcus`> It's hard to say. They very well could be working together.
<Megumi> No, put out an alert for Peacemaker anyway.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "..."
* Gabriella gets up, rubbing her eyes a little more. "Maybe he ran after her?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Dias.
<Chad`Winters> It's possible. We need to find him.
<Megumi> If you do not, then she can use that reputation and clearance to access what she wants.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Zephyr than his hand, he slowly let's go. 1"Sorry!"
<Terra> <Vyssa> *puts out the alert*
<Terra> "What about Warren?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ....
<Megumi> We do not know what other forms she might have or what they can obtain, but if there is a chance we cinch any of it, we must do it.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I like this, I don't even have to do anything. 6He crosses his arms.
* Marcus` rubs his face, stepping over to the door.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Are you sure? If she gets hold of Engineering... or maybe Security..."
<DeathStar> 6* Those with godhearing might hear a beeping sound
<Terra> <Vyssa> "What was that...?"
* Megumi frowns slightly and focuses on it.
* Marcus` pauses and glances up. "What's that sound?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What sound?
<Terra> "I don't hear anything."
<Chad`Winters> ...Everyone get out of her now. 6He eyes Marcus and turns moving to the door.
<Megumi> I recommend getting out of the room.
<Terra> <Vyssa> *rushes out*
<Marcus`> ...a feint beep...Oh god, we need tog et out of here. *he moves for the door*
<DeathStar> 6* The door is locked.
<Marcus`> Locked. *he hisses*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh God, not a bomb.
* Megumi wanders over to the door. 1"Is this held by a single locking mechanism?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad slides his hand over to the keypad and pops it open. He begins to cross wires
* Terra hurries to the door, trying to break it open with Strife
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls her hood over her head.
<DeathStar> 6* The door repels Terra
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A bomb! I'm too young to die!
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns. "I don't need to explain that you should hurry, right?" he tells Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* It is made for attacks greater than her.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *steps forward, forming her light blade and moving to also slash at the door*
<Gabriella> Angela> "Move."
<Terra> "... well, that didn't work..."
<DeathStar> 6* The door is cut, but nothing big.
<Gabriella> *ANgela heads over to the door, inspecting it for an access panel.
<Marcus`> ...you all are wasting your energy.
* Megumi sighs, and goes back to locating the source of the beeping while chad seems to hack.
<Terra> <Vyssa> *also searches for the source*
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be coming from three different locations.
* Chad`Winters glances at the door as he continues working on the control panel
<Terra> <Vyssa> *heads for the one closest to her*
<DeathStar> 6* Vents, Wall A, and Wall C.
<Terra> "... I can take out an elevator door, but not this..."
<Gabriella> * ANgela sighs, letting Chad do it, looking for an emergency release instead.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, can you punch the door down?
<Terra> "... stupid freaking medbay."
* Megumi glances upward, then crouches and leaps, grabbing onto the vent and straining to pull herself up and look inside.
<Terra> "..."
* Marcus` standing beside Wall A, gently places his hand on the wall. "The sound is coming from here. But i'm no bomb expert."
<Cassandra`> What a day to be without a big gun...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6* She stands up and moves to the door. She pulls off the glove on her left hand, and reaches over and touches the controls instead. The doors sound like they're scrambled, and they open.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Also from here."
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi sees a bomb with red wires that can be cut.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Erevis. "Nice." He shifts out.
* Chad`Winters steps back. 1"That works too. Zephyr, Kat, get out of here..
<Megumi> "...How simplistic."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Megumi. The door is open, leave the bomb alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hurries out. Katrina scowls and moves out as well. Erevis slides her glove back on.
<Terra> <Vyssa> *hurries out*
* Chad`Winters moves out after them. Shiva and Loki head out.
* Megumi drops down. 1"...I suppose that is for the best, but it does not seem like a good idea to let them all go off."
<Marcus`> *Theron takes Myria and moves for the door, if she isn't already going.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves out, Dias scrambles out.
* Megumi heads for Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly the bombs all go a solid beeeeeee.
<Terra> "Megumi, come on. They might go off if tampered with."
* Gabriella heads out with the other girl her age.
* Terra rushes out
<Gabriella> * Angela rushes out.
* Megumi grabs Erevis' arm and forcefully drags her out along with her.
<DeathStar> 6* The bombs explode.
<DeathStar> 6* The force sends Megumi and Erevis into the hallway wall
<Megumi> That is obvious, but they might be targeting something besides just us--Agh!"
<Terra> "It's just the medbay."
<Chad`Winters> We need to secure engineering and the core room.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "What about security?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is sadly blown up. Again.
<DeathStar> 6* Thank God she's a cyborg!
* Megumi winces and strains, getting to her feet and checking on Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> There's a worse issue, Peacemaker was the doctor, depending on when she got turned...There could be more Dark One's here.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Does anyone have a map?"
<Megumi> She has been upon this station the entire time... Why would she just now plot to destroy the station?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems stunned, blood running down the side of her face.
<Terra> "Because she was discovered."
<Chad`Winters> Computer, respond.
<Marcus`> <Theron> ... *he shfits to catch the flaming Cass as she flies out of the room.* ...pay attention. *he grunts...she's kinda heavy now*
<Megumi> Erevis..!
* Megumi kneels and checks on her frantically.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly all the lights go out on the station. Everything seems to power down. The computer begins to speak in Peacemaker's voice. <Peacemaker> Peacemaker Protocols accepted and in place.
<Terra> "Bitch!"
<DeathStar> 6* Computer in Peacemaker
<Gabriella> Angela> "What the hell, how does she have an override?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Seem she's been busy this last year.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Wonderful."
<Marcus`> It probably wasn't easy to get access during the big switch in owners. *he notes, referring to earth pulling out*
<Marcus`> NRP: was. not wasn't
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Ooooh boy. 6He whistles as he moves down the hallway
* Megumi moves Erevis onto her back and brushes her hair out of the way, opening her eyes to see fully in the darkness.
* Terra hurries after Megumi. "How is she?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis groans a bit, trying to open her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva glances around and touches the wall with her hand.
* Gabriella is now known as Angela
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks around. "Why aren't the emergency lights coming on? We can't see a damn thing."
* Marcus` stands up and glances at Chad. "We'll need to split up. Which location you going to?"
<Marcus`> NRP: in Chad's direction, damn lights.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Because she made it dark."
<Megumi> Strategy. She does not need lights-- Fortunately neither do I.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Smart girl...
<Terra> "Luckily, I can make my own."
<Marcus`> <Theron> She is no longer a girl. Do not call her that.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, *I* need lights.
* Terra produces a flame in the palm of her hand
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can see perfectly. 6He moves about, sliding between people.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes finally.
<Megumi> ...I am worried about Erevis. Give me a moment or ask one of the others to perform a bypass from the core to back-up lighting circuits.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC slides her mask on and glances down the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms, stepping back so Dias doesn't rujn her over.
* Megumi diagnoses Erevis briefly, most suspicious of a concussion.
<Angela> Gabby> *pulls out her own and puts it on over her face*
<DeathStar> 6* Most likely.
<Chad`Winters> We need a team at the control center and another team down at the core.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina checks Cassandra's body and pulls out a light. She chuckles. "Girlscout." 6* She turns it on, shining it back and forth
<Chad`Winters> And objections Katrina?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> None.
<Megumi> I would like to be at the core, considering its significance, but unless someone else volunteers... I should think my skills are better use in the control center.
* Angela Chad and I can handle the controls and equipement at either end.
<Marcus`> Just point me in the right direction.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "... that's four locations now."
<Angela> NRP: Wow.
<Angela> "Chad and I can handle the controls and equipement at either end.
* Megumi tries to alleviate any swelling, but doesn't dare mess with the brain.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is dark. 6* She says flatly.
<Terra> "I'll go with Erevis and Megumi."
<Chad`Winters> Marcus, Katrina, Terra, Megumi, Dias, Frown girl....
<Megumi> It is dark, Erevis... Thank goodness you are fine.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh.
* Terra listens and watches
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks like she's going to close her eyes and go back to sleep
<Marcus`> Core room with you? *he asks Chad*
<Chad`Winters> And Myria. Goto the coreroom.
<Angela> "Chad, I'll go with them."
<Terra> "Hey, stay awake.."
* Terra sounds worried
<Chad`Winters> Everyone else to the Control center.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "I'd like to point out that engineering and security are still at risk."
<Angela> "Engineering IS at the core."
<DeathStar> <Peacemaker Computer> Alert. Tsivrixsh Warships entering PAX space.
<Chad`Winters> Engineering is on hte way to the core room. And we have to pass through security to get to the control center.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Then, just security."
<Terra> <Vyssa> "Great."
* Marcus` glances up. "Jesus Christ. We need to hurry. Whoever knows the way, get to stepping."
<Chad`Winters> ...And we need to hurry. Katrina try to contact the Tsiv.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You do realize we're at war with them, right?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We give them a reason to fire on the station, we all die.
<Angela> "Is the Cartel?"
<Megumi> I do not want to leave Erevis... She is not doing well.
<Chad`Winters> Good point.
<Angela> "We're wasting time."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Shiva. "Think you can lie to them enough to get them not to do something Tsivrixsh like?"
<Terra> <Vyssa> "It seems we have a team three."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I could see ice to an eskimo. 6She smiles and begins running down the halwlay
<Marcus`> Angela, Dias. Come'on. *he starts to move down the blackened hallway*
* Megumi growls slightly.
* Angela heads after Marcus.
<Megumi> Madame Terra, would you watch Erevis?
<Chad`Winters> Angela's coming with me. I'll need her knowledge to retake the control room.
<Terra> "Sure."
* Angela stops and turns.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Chad. "So when we get to the core? We just...kill anything around it?"
<Angela> "And if someone's blowing the core?"
<Chad`Winters> That's why Myria's going with.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "... I'd like to go take the control room."
* Megumi grips both hands slightly, then leans down and touches her forehead gently to Erevis. 1"...I will return when I can. Seems like you are out of that promise for now."
* Angela looks hesitantly at Myria.
<Angela> "...Alright."
<Chad`Winters> Vyssa, you're everyone else....
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmmm. 6* She says sleepily.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "..."
<Angela> "Marcus, Dias, you take care."
<Chad`Winters> You know what, screw it. Do whatever the hell you want. 6He just walks off towards the control room.
<Megumi> Keep her awake, Madame Terra. She might have a concussion.
* Angela heads after Chad.
<Terra> "I know."
<Marcus`> Yeah yeah. Come'on Myria. *he grabs Myria and moves along*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina follows Chad.
<Marcus`> *Theron grows quiet and moves off after Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances around, then fades into the darkness.
* Megumi leaps to her feet and looks around, glancing upward for a moment in silence to recall the layout. She spent the better part of her time on PAX wandering around at the mercy of the damn computer.
<Angela> * Gabby has stuck to SPoC like glue.
* Megumi opens her eyes and makes for the core in her memory with rather light feet.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves along with Marcus and SPoC
* Terra heads to the control room, having gained permission
<Terra> <Vyssa> *does, rather*
* Terra stays with Erevis.
* Terra is now known as Vyssa
* Marcus` keeps silent, since he has to use his senses to keep himself alert.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to sleep.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "HEY! Stay awake!"
<Chad`Winters> How you control them is beyond me Kat. 6He moves along the hallway, his eye's adjusting
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I have boobs.
<Angela> "Essentially that's how she does it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis ignores that.
<Marcus`> <Theron> They keep me in line. *he notes lightly from the side, which is odd, since he usually remains silent*
<Vyssa> <Terra> *does her best to keep Erevis awake*
<Chad`Winters> I knew I should've stayed at home. 6He turns down a hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets annoyed.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad Winters reaches a dead end.
<Angela> "You should have..."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "You can't sleep right now..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am merely regathering my strength
* Chad`Winters pauses, eyeing the dead end. 1"I could've swore.." 6He eyes it than turns around, moving back the way they came.
* Megumi catches up to Marcus and Dias and... the op guy? She stops and pants briefly.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "If you sleep now, you might not wake up."
<Angela> "Cartel done some remodeling?"
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus' group hits a dead end
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes again
<Megumi> ...That dead end was not there. I should know..
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Do you even know where we're going?!
<Vyssa> "Do we have a map?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> No Chad. This isn't supposed to be here. *he says, having lived on the station enough to know*
<Megumi> I knew every dead on this station thanks to the computer.
* Chad`Winters reaches the spot where he turned and heads down the hallway again.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *continues her trying to keep Erevis awake, doing everythng short of shaking her*
<DeathStar> 6* Chad hits another dead end.
* Marcus` frowns. "...we didn't pass any other cross sections on the way to this point, did we?"
* Megumi walks over and wraps her knuckles at the wall where it should not be ending.
<Vyssa> <Vyssa> "... the corridor was sealed..."
<DeathStar> 6* Sounds solid like a blast door.
<Chad`Winters> Two things. She managed to get Dark Ship technology onto this station or Freyja's soul is here.
<Vyssa> <Vyssa> "Can you open it?"
* Angela looks about for some sort of panel or air duct.
<DeathStar> 6* There is indeed an air duct. Of Dooooom.
<Angela> "...Shit!"
<Marcus`> *Theron glances towards Katrina, then looks back towards Chad. "We are in some illusion?"
* Chad`Winters fires a test shot into the corner.
<Angela> "We left Chii alone."
<DeathStar> 6* It leaves a slightly burnt mark.
<Angela> "Well, with Drake, but it's just them."
* Cassandra` is now known as Myria
<Megumi> "...I do not understand. It should not be here, yet it is... and appears solid."
* Chad`Winters reaches along his belt and grabs a small hilt, he flicks a switch and a small plasma blade erupts out of the end. He jams it into the dead end.
<Myria> This wall was placed here. *spoken as she steps forward* ...recently.
* Marcus` makes a face. "I don't get it. Did she activate blast doors or something?"
<DeathStar> 6* It's cut into.
* Angela watches Chad.
* Chad`Winters works on cutting a hole.
* Megumi looks around for an access panel to the computer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias picks his nose.
<DeathStar> 6* There's an access panel nearby.
<Angela> * Gabby fidgets nervously next to SPoC, her mask having managed a sad face.
<Marcus`> *Theron slides up, activating a blade to assisst chad in speedin gup the process.
<DeathStar> 6* The two cut through the blast door/wall.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC frowns at Gabby
* Megumi runs over to it and tries to access... well, anything for a start.
<DeathStar> 6* The access panel looks like it'll comply, then overloads and explodes.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Hey, Erevis..?" *tries to remember everything she knows about medicine*
* Myria also looks for an access panel...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Megumi shields herself with her arms. 1What the?"
<Chad`Winters> Blast doors than....6He looks through the whole then steps through, sweeping his gun.
<Angela> * Gabby's Mask goes blank. "Just worried about Warren..."
* Marcus` flinches when the panel explodes. "It's called an obvious trap, megumi."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks the blast door
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps through, and on the other side, is another dead end.
<Megumi> Well... My specialty is with the hardwiring, not the software, anyway.
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes this dead end. "...this is annoying."
* Angela draws her gun and moves in after Chad.
<Chad`Winters> This is going to take forever. 6He moves to the next dead end and begins cutting into it again.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... you know about concussions, right?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Someone doesn't want us to go anywhere.
* Megumi looks around for a panel where the computer and connected hardware might be contained.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .....
<DeathStar> 6* None.
<Vyssa> "... isn't there a quicker way?"
* Marcus` slides out his ripple blade and pauses. "Stand back." He activates it and works on cutting them a whole, if at all possible.
<Chad`Winters> I've never been one to listen. Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus cuts a 4hole. Level up.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "Oh for fuck's sake."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps back, putting his hands to his hips. 1"If I was 4 years younger I could punch these blast doors down
<Myria> We should proceed immediately.
<Megumi> Even if we do, if there are many more doors, we will not make very much progress.
<Marcus`> <Theron> "Then we should hurry." *he moves forward to cut through this blast door as well*
* Marcus` slides throught he hall, keeping his blade ready.
<Marcus`> NRP: hole*
<DeathStar> 6* As Chad cuts through, a ripple effect cuts another hole right in front of him, and the two groups converge.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps through the hole, pushing Marcus over.
* Myria also passes through the hole.
<DeathStar> 6* And Dias and Myria collide!
<Vyssa> "... wonderful."
* Megumi peers over at the others. 1"..."
* Marcus` pauses, eyeing Chad.
<Megumi> I am having deja vu.
<Chad`Winters> ...6Rubs the bridge of his nose.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the floor.
<Vyssa> "Something tells me that this is not the right way."
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns. "...the thought of this being an illusion has just increased."
<Angela> * Gabby shakes her head, "Are these really Dad's friends?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs. "Great."
<Megumi> Illusion...?
<Marcus`> Whoa whoa, an illusion?
<Chad`Winters> Don't annoy me Vyssa. 6He steps back through the hole they came from and moves through the next one, heading to the 1st dead end they found
<Megumi> You do not think that... dark one is... one and the same?
* Angela follows Chad.
* Vyssa looks around carefully, trying to find anything that doesn't seem real
* Marcus` glances at Megumi and shrugs. "Let's hope not."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the hallway bends and twurns and they find themselves near the medical bay again. Drake and Chii stand there. Drake rubs the back of his head
<Megumi> ...If it is, Mister Jones.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Wow, did you guys just get trapped in an illusion again?
<Megumi> That settles it.
<Marcus`> ...how the hell are you here?
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Fuck."
<Megumi> Mister Jones, try to... focus your hearing.
<Vyssa> "... how did you get here, if you even are?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Okay, so I sorta kinda followed you. 6* He shrugs.
<Megumi> <Chii> Listen for a bell.
<Marcus`> Through space??
<Megumi> ...Yes, that.
<DeathStar> <Drake> It's called a shuttle.
<Myria> ....irritating...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his head. 1"Guh..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I mean, come on. A ghost haunting PAX. I couldn't resist.
* Angela rolls her eyes slightly.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... if anyone's any good at treating concussions..."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ....I did not just get blown up again?!
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "...well you're just in time to fight some dark ones. Congrats." He shifts away and closes his eyes listening for that damn bell.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra did.
<Vyssa> "You did."
<Chad`Winters> We're trapped in an illusion Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* THAT wasn't fake.
<Marcus`> *Theron kneels beside Cass. "Sorry, Cassie. You had a brain fart."
* Megumi looks suspiciously at Chii, but then closes her eyes and tries to find a high frequency chime.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hmmm. Doesn't seem to be an illusion space right now. 6* He notes.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Drake. "So we're not in it anymore?"
<Chad`Winters> How do you know this?
<Megumi> 6* Chii crosses her arms. 1"No, but if she is currently using our soul, then a bell would not be far from her."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I find you all staring blankly at nothing, and then suddenly you began to move again.
<DeathStar> *found
<Vyssa> "..."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...are there other med bays...?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Drake is talented in the mystical sense. *he says to Chad*
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> 'fraid not.
<Megumi> <Chii> Drake is surprisingly useful.
* Chad`Winters bites his lip in anger and turns, moving back down the hallway again
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...damn it...
<Megumi> 6Chii moves to stand beside Katrina, wary.
* Marcus` glances down at Cass. "Your systems seem to be in recovery mode, just rest here with Erevis."
<Vyssa> "I am rather annoyed at all this."
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts and follows after Chad.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Whoa, hey, if you leave, you might get caught in an illusion again.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, rubbing the back of his head.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Roger...got a gun on you?
<Marcus`> ....*he holds out a pistol to Cass*
<Megumi> We cannot just stay here, Mister Drake...
<Myria> Mr. Drake, have you some countermeasure for this?
* Chad`Winters stops and turns to look back at Drake. 1"Do you have a better idea?
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances at Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has stealthily used this moment to go to sleep
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *takes the pistol* I still have one good hand.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "AGH! DAMN IT! WAKE UP!"
* Megumi kneels beside Erevis, putting a hand on Terra's shoulder, shaking her head.
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... what?"
* Megumi merely keeps her left hand on Erevis, making sure she's fine while she rests.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hm. 6He rubs his chin, considering. "The question is why lock you all in an illusion, if she wasn't going to kill you."
<Vyssa> <Terra> "... okay, it's up to you now."
<Angela> "She wants to get away."
<Chad`Winters> To prevent us from stopping her from killing someone.
* Marcus` straitens up now and glances around. "Perhaps we're not supposed to die just yet? Maybe Warren was her goal all along?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Killing someone?
<Myria> 6<12Myria6> An excellent question.
* Chad`Winters nods at Marcus.
<Vyssa> "... isn't Warren already a Dark One?"
<Angela> "Or both... but if she wanted to kill Warren, why not do it on the spot?"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the station shakes - a shot from outside the station.
<Angela> Gabby> "NO HE'S NOT!"
<Myria> The Tsivirxsh...
<Marcus`> ...oh jesus, the Tsiv are attacking.
<Vyssa> "And there we have the answer."
<DeathStar> <Drake> A ha! I have come to a conclusion. They must want the Tsivrixsh to blow us up!
<Vyssa> "... brilliant."
<Myria> What are the station's defenses doing? Did she turn them on the warships?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Brilliant.
<Chad`Winters> You come up on that all your own?
<Megumi> If they get the Tsivrixsh to do it, they can claim us all without as much loss.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *shrugs* I had some hel.
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...ok. We need to do something, instead of being sarcastic assholes.
<Vyssa> "... Drake, if we survive this, please... teach me how to see through illusions..."
<Angela> "Find Peacemaker and beat her to death?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay, think, think, Kat. 6* She stands there as the station shakes again
<Angela> "Slowly, preferrably?"
<Megumi> <Chii> "No one's claiming me, except maybe Katrina...!" 6Stagger. 1"I'm here to regain what's mine!"
<Vyssa> "That someone can deceive my senses in that way..." *twitches*
<Chad`Winters> Won't stop the Tsiv.
* Marcus` closes his eyes, pretty annoyed right now. "...what do you think happened to Shiva and Loki?"
<Vyssa> "Maybe they got away."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Shiva. 6She sounds worried now.
<Angela> "...I'd rather not give you my theory."
<DeathStar> <Drake> You have a theory, too?
<Marcus`> ...it probably ends in death. So we need to stop standing around and do something.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would hear a bell from down the hall.
* Chad`Winters taps his gun on the side of his arm.
* Vyssa listens also
<DeathStar> 6* Vyssa hears nothing
<Megumi> 6Chii's head snaps to the sound. 1"...There!" 6She... abrubtly dashes off.
<Myria> Action is certainly preferable at this moment.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii!
<Vyssa> "..."
<Marcus`> ..Oh jesus, stop her!
* Vyssa rushes after
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rushes after Chii.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Trap! It's a trap!
<Megumi> <Chii> I hear it! I can hear her!
<Angela> "...Oh god..."
<Vyssa> "It's an illusion."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake smacks his face.
* Marcus` coughs, standing there. "Yeah that's why I told someone else to stop her."
<Megumi> 6Chii stops and glares over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii hurries along, and a door seals behind her as she turns around
<Megumi> <Chii> She can't use illusions on me. I don't have a sou--
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina runs into the door, pounding on it.
<Vyssa> "..."
<Angela> "...We're doomed... we're sooooo doomed."
<DeathStar> <Freyja's Voice> Chii. 6* It comes from the darkness of the room she's in.
<Megumi> Well, that is not good.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hurries along finally, reaching the door. He frowns.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, I don't think THIS is an illusion.
* Vyssa heads for the door
<Vyssa> <Terra> *does*
<Megumi> Cut the door open. You did it before.
<Megumi> <Chii> Freyja! ...No...
<Megumi> 6Her hands clench. 1"Bitch, give me her back!"
<Vyssa> <Terra> *goes to force the door open the same way she did the elevator door so long ago*
* Marcus` steps up beside Drake. He knocks on the door, trying to gauge the thickness from the sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would see a shadowded figure that looks like Freyja in the corner, holding out her arms to her. "I'm here, Chii."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pounds. "CHII!"
<DeathStar> 6* The station shakes again and alarms sound.
* Marcus` steps back, letting Terra try to get it open. "...stand back, my weapon is more effective."
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens slightly, but not enough to pass through
<Megumi> 6Chii gazes, and looks a bit hesitant, but then raises her hand, swiping it through the air, lashing a small arc of dark flames for the form. 1"Shut up! You're not her!"
<DeathStar> 6* The form becomes Peacemaker.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *keeps trying to open it further*
<Angela> "TERRA! Move."
<Marcus`> Damnit, I said move. *he pulls Terra back and slides out the ripple blade, aiming to cut a hole in it*
<Vyssa> <Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens a few more inches, then shuts as Terra is shoved.
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> "It's too bad it has to be this way." *walks forwards*
* Marcus` growls as he ripples into the door, shifting to cut the whole big enough to get through.
<DeathStar> 6* A shot hits Marcus in the back.
<Marcus`> GAH! *he falls forward slightly, his eyes narrowing as he glances behind him*
* Angela turns, aiming her gun in the direction of the shot.
<DeathStar> 6* A shadowy figure is there.
* Vyssa eyes the figure, aiming her gun
* Chad`Winters turns, studying the shadow figure.
<Megumi> <Chii> "Hrmph, I hope you've enjoyed the time you've spent with her." 6Retreats a few steps.
<Marcus`> *Theron has a pistol out, eyes narrowed.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake turns as well, as does Katrina.
<Angela> "Marcus, the door."
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> *continues after* "Why resist? This is inevitable."
<Megumi> Miss McCormick... You want through that door?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Marcus`> Yeah I know. *he growls, his voice going deeper, he gets continues*
<DeathStar> 6* The figure lifts their gun up.
<Megumi> ...I think I can open it, but then I will not be able to help much more.
<DeathStar> 6* They fire --- at the ceiling above them.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, an explosion rains down at the team.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks, and Drake throws up his arms as he's hit.
* Angela covers her head and ducks, as does Gabby.
* Megumi swipes her hand, in the short run trying to shield those within a ten foot radius around her and Erevis with a partial crystal dome.
<Vyssa> <Terra> *covers her head*
* Chad`Winters twists into a crouch, using his tact suit to take the explosion
<Marcus`> *Theron dives, tackling Myria to the ground.
* Vyssa moves to avoid the worst of the blast
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis isn't in this area, having been left way behind
* Marcus` glances up, slicing down as he ducks down.
* Angela fires at the figure as she lands, her coat burning to reveal a black tactical suit, one of Sera's.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC having staied with Erevis is save!
* Myria TKly shields herself...
<DeathStar> 6* The figure turns and vanishes into the dark
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> *goess to grab Chii*
<Megumi> Miss McCormick?
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad glances around then moves after the figure.
<DeathStar> 6* Katina winces. "I'm fine.
<Megumi> 6Chii sweeps to the side and keeps her distance, growling rather ferally.
* Angela moves to the door and kicks in from Marcus' cut to get it open.
<DeathStar> 6* The door's cut opens.
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> "Always so difficult..." *sighs*
<DeathStar> 6* Something hits SPoC in the face, and sends her flying.
* Marcus` cuts left now, to finish the hole right as Angela kicks, he deactivates the ability and slides inside, blades ready.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC hits the ground with a thud and rolls, hitting a wall
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *holds her gun ready*
<DeathStar> 6* A flashbang is tossed in Cassandra's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad Winters reaches an area with a flashbang going off
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Gah!
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad shields his eyes and he lifts his gun, sweeping.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina dives through, activating her sword. She slashes at Peace.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake winces, holding his burnt arm.
<Megumi> 6Chii leaps back twice then slams her fist into the ground, driving her flames across the ground in a wave. 1"Give her back!"
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> "You should surrender. It'll hurt so much less." *draws her own sword and parries*
* Angela rolls through, she fires a shot at Peace as she parries.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina spins off and kicks at Peace's face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Time to kick some bitch ass. 6He moves to the crowded hole leading to peace's doom
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> *ducks, grabbing Kat's leg, and throwing her into the fire*
<Marcus`> *Theron, stands and glances towards the group left behind, he moves after them, since some big players are already handling Peace.
<DeathStar> 6* The flashbang fades.
* Megumi 's ears twitch. She turns and makes back for the medical bay, concerned over Erevis.
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes and looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra and SPoC are there.
* Angela wonders when bullets travelled slow enough for that.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ... *loooks over where erevis was*
<DeathStar> 6* Gone.
<Chad`Winters> Shit. Erevis. 6He moves over to Cass and SPoC.
<Chad`Winters> You two ok?
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC pushes herself up and just frowns
<DeathStar> 6* A smiley face ball rolls toward the group at the medical bay. Seems someone stole from Dias.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> No, I am decidedly not ok...didn't see who it was either.
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> *jumps over the FLAMES then*
* Chad`Winters turns and grabs Cass, leaping away from the rolling ball.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stumbles back.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps through the hole finally.
* Megumi slides to a halt and puts her hand to the ground, attempting to encase the 'smiley ball' in crystal.
* Marcus` rotates his blades, eyeing Peace before him, and the others attacking her...it. "You alright, Chii?"
<DeathStar> 6* The ball explodes.
* Angela catches Kat, drawing her katana.
* Megumi grinds her teeth. 1"Gh..!"
<Megumi> <Chii> "...For now..." 6Looks away, a bit ashamed.
* Chad`Winters stands up. 1"Someone's enjoying this all too well. He stands up.
<Marcus`> *Theron slides to a halt as the ball explodes, shielding his eyes, as he isn't there yet. "Damnit.' he hisses.
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> "Seems I'll just have to take you all down myself, then."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> .... 6* She tosses her sword aside and goes at for Chii, kicking low to trip her.
<Angela> "You can try."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...no kidding...and thanks for the save...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps through finally. 1"Quick someone tag me in!"
<Marcus`> Patience, Dias. *he stands at the side, waiting his turn*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake slides over to Chii, unsheathing his sword. Chii's strength rises even more, like a DBZ movie
<Megumi> It is my job...
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> *jumps over Kat's kick, swinging at her face*
<Marcus`> *Theron slides up, glancing around. "...was that Warren?" He asks Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds up her hand to block, and grab Peace. She tries to toss Peace.
<Megumi> 6Chii snags the sword from the air, blade downward in her palm instead of right-side up. She glances at Drake suspiciously. 1"...Thanks, everyone."
* Chad`Winters reaches into his tact belt and pulls an eye piece. He places it over his right eye and be begins looking around, scanning for heat signatures/energy signatures
<Chad`Winters> Let's hope not.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> God damn't. Someone tag me in!
<Megumi> ...Where has Erevis gone?
<Vyssa> <Peacemaker> *allows herself to be thrown, kicking off the wall back at Kat, stabbing*
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing around for Chad to find.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once. He's read plenty of reports to know that Warren is to be feared.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps aside.
<Chad`Winters> Stolen. 6He moves down the hallway, looking around
* Angela leaps in as Peace stabs, slicing at her side.
<Megumi> ...
* Vyssa is now known as Peacemaker
<DeathStar> <Drake> We need to do an X-Strike! 6* He suggests to Chii.
* Megumi looks... utterly... livid. 1"...Stolen? What do you mean by that?"
* Peacemaker lands, going to slice at Katrina, but instead blocking Angela's strike
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks at Drake. 1"You mean Darien's ...skill?"
* Angela follows it through by loicking her blade with Peace's.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Calm down, Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Drake> He has that move?!
* Chad`Winters just grunts in response. His gun held up out as he moves down the hallway, looking.
<Megumi> 6Chii nods. 1"He used it in centerpoint."
* Peacemaker raises a single hand, throwing a ball of ki at Angela at close range
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... lets use the Y-Strike.
* Angela groans and flies back, tossing a metal spike at Peace as she flies back.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Screw this. 6He slaps Drake's hand. 1"You're out." 6He than begins moving towards Peacemaker.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dammit, she has new moves.
* Peacemaker swings to one side, letting it fly past
<Megumi> <Chii> I don't know what that is, but I think I'm capable of mimicing some of that capacity. You wish to strike in unison, right?"
<Angela> * It explodes right next to Peace.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Right.
* Marcus` stands there calmly, watchign Peace's movements.
<Peacemaker> "... how troublesome."
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Alright.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blackflips out of range,.
<DeathStar> <Drake> On 3.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly kicks off, throwing a spin kick for Peacemaker's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake holds up his sword.
<Megumi> 6Chii takes a step back and to the right of Drake.
* Angela sits up, holding her sword defensively.
* Peacemaker moves to deflect Dias' kick
<Angela> * Gabby watches for now, too many people as is and she's still only in training!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias twists as she deflects and kicks out for her gut.
* Myria then TKly seizes Peacemaker's legs.
* Marcus` shifts, throwing a knife out for Peace's back, if simply to distract her from Drake and Chii.
<Marcus`> NRP: lwoer back sorry
<DeathStar> <Drake> 1. 2. 3. 6* He dashes in after Dias, shoving him aside in a surprising move, then slashing diagonal right and down
<Megumi> <Chii> Understood. One...
* Peacemaker takes the kick, about to stab Dias in return, but is tripped by Myria
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the ground hard.
<Megumi> 6Chii springs and leaps, slamming her hand in a downward arc to compliment Drake's diagonal.
* Peacemaker rolls quickly to the side
* Myria tries to keep her TK grip and stop the evasion!
* Chad`Winters looks up at the cieling, eyeing the vents
<DeathStar> 6* The vents are dark
<Megumi> How... How can I keep calm?
<Marcus`> *Theron follows CHad's eyes. "I always heard rumors that the vents were death traps."
<Megumi> Erevis is gone! ...Where is she?! I... I...!
<Marcus`> <Theron> It isn't a matter of how. It is a matter of what you need to do. *he says to her sternly*
<Chad`Winters> Fair enough. 6He leaps up and grabs the vent and pulls it down
* Peacemaker , instead, swings at the attackers, then!
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...its where the ninjas go to hide...one time Setsuna and I were...well...that's personal... .. ...and kinky.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake parries into Peace, trying to help his partner's strike go through
* Chad`Winters grabs small bent scope from his tact belt and pokes it into the vent and begins looking around
<Megumi> 6Chii slams her blade atop Drake's for added leverage and impact, however, focuses on something entirely different. 1"Katon!" 6She images an explosive set of her flames at the sword's meeting point.
* Peacemaker moves to blast Chii at the same time
* Angela waits for Peacemaker to slip up again, too many people to make any explosive strikes.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Niger incendia offendo!!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake unleashes a black fire from his blade.
* Peacemaker winces in pain, burnt by at least one of the strikes
<DeathStar> 6* The vent looks normal.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Woh woh, did he just say the n word?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps back, open for counter attack.
* Marcus` takes a few steps forward, closing the distance on himself and Peace.
* Peacemaker leaps up, striking at Drake, her burns healing
<Megumi> 6Chii slides back, crouching low in her downward sword stance.
<Megumi> <Chii> Drake, the sides, we can open her up for Angela and Dias.
<Marcus`> *Theron looks from Megumi, back up to Chad. "Anything? It is possibly he simply ran down the hall during the effects of the flash.*
<Marcus`> NRP: " not *
<Megumi> 6Chii springs in an outward arc to get to one side of Peacemaker, hoping Drake can figure out a pincer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops up and leaps onto Drake's shoulder and kicks off it, kicking both his legs out at Peacemaker's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is hit, sadly, and spins.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hits the ground, rolling.
* Peacemaker ducks under Dias, swinging her blade upwards to try to catch him
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rushes in and grabs Peacemaker in a bear hug from behind, trying to pin her arms.
* Chad`Winters hits the ground, red/black blood splattering along the ground.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Angela pulls her sword back, placing the tip against her palm, holding the sword horizontal. She pounces, striking hard at Peacemaker's back with her sword.
<Megumi> 6Chii pauses, glancing toward Drake, and then Katrina in worry.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is sadly stabbed by Angela.
* Peacemaker glances over and laughs
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva comes running into the room. 1"Dear god no.."6She darts over to Kat
* Angela pulls up, grazing he shoulder.
* Marcus` makes a face. "Teamwork, people. Teamwork."
<Myria> ...this is embarassing...
<Angela> "Too many people..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces
<Angela> "Sorry Kat."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back, letting Peace go, and is open for a fatal counter strike
* Angela leaps back, looking for another opening.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pushes himself up, bleeding a lot.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva leaps forward and grabs Kat, bringing her to the ground
<Peacemaker> "Isn't it true? However much you try, you just end up killing your own teammates." *moves in for the kill*
* Marcus` steps forward quickly, getting hismelf between Kat and Peace, he slashes up to block Peace.
* Angela leaps in, bringing her blade down on Peace after Shiva tackles.
* Myria TKly punches into PEacemaker's lungs...
<Angela> "Wrong, killing you!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly stands, his hand grabbing on his chest.
* Marcus` shifts so Angela doesn't get him.
<Megumi> "Katrina..." 1Chii glares, swinging the confiscated sword in an angle, digging another wave of flames from the ground that travel. From the forward angle, she could have possibly have been aiming in a way that Angela would be hit as well, but the main focus is on Peacemaker.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad and the gang continue along toward the engine room
* Peacemaker eyes Marcus with a hint of annoyance, leaping back... before getting a hit to the lungs
* Megumi follows Chad's group with a decidedly unhappy scowl, but remains quiet after Theron's chiding.
<Marcus`> *Theron remains alert, not wanting to be attack from behind.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Shiva...? 6* She opens her eyes.
* Angela ducks low, under Chii's fire and slices at Peace's legs.
<Chad`Winters> 6A Dark Beam streaks through the room towards peacemaker as she's stunned from the hit in the lungs
* Peacemaker jumps over, flipping over Angela and landing behind
<DeathStar> 6* Angela ducks into fire.
* Marcus` reaches out and grabs Angela, tossing her back to the side of the room. "Stand back." he warns her.
* Peacemaker uses Angela as a shield as she recovers
<Marcus`> NRP: HAH!
<Peacemaker> 6* or not
<DeathStar> 6* The dark beam punches through the wall, and the next wall, and the next, and the next
* Angela can't be used as a shield from across the room.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh God...
<Marcus`> ....oh my god. I quit this team.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves with her team
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the air begins to go ... toward the hole?
<Marcus`> ...we should probably fill up that hole.
<Myria> ...who did that?!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake jams his sword into the floor.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You ok? 6She looks at Kat?
* Peacemaker just laughs. "You're making this way too easy!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes to answer, when suddenly she goes flying toward the hole.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva grabs onto Kat's arm
<DeathStar> 6* Shiva goes flying.
* Megumi attacks in the distraction, literally throwing the sword at Peacemaker, swiping a hand to cause a flame explosion directly behind her, chargin with her hands postured like claws, wreathing in dark flames.
* Myria tries to TKly patch the hole for the time being!
* Angela grabs onto a latch in the wall.
<Megumi> NRP: Last was Chii.
* Peacemaker moves to the side, spinkicking Megumi towards the hole
<Peacemaker> NRP: Chii
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just rubs his face as he begins sliding towards the hole
<Megumi> 6...Chii, charging at a foot, slashes it with her flame claws, even if the momentum still tumbles her toward the unorthodox exit.
<DeathStar> 6* In an ironic manner, Marcus' big body blocks the hole.
* Marcus` coughs. "...so...i'll just hang out here."
<Megumi> 6Chii thuds into Marcus, glancing up in confusion.
* Peacemaker glares at Chii, being cut and burnt as she passes. She then eyes Marcus, and fires a large ki ball at the both
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides infront of the ki ball, his hands held up infront of him to block it
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina breathes heavily, standing up.
* Angela leaps up beside Marcus, flickign her wrist and energy shield blocks the ball, the shield fades after.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias blocks it - with hand damage.
<Megumi> <Chii> "Tch... Spirit energy?" 6As Dias catches it, Chii closes her eyes and focuses, trying to absorb it. She -eats- spiritual energy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva pants, her hand moving her hair out of her face.
<Angela> * Guess the shield's not used.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This bitch is annoying me.
* Myria then turns, TKly pinching off Peacemaker's throat!
* Marcus` eyes the ki ball. "Thank god Dias can take hits." He says with a whew, "The thought counts though, Angie."
<Angela> "You're welcome then... Mmm..."
* Chad`Winters waves his gloved hands painfully.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Megumi> "...Dias, was it?"
* Peacemaker turns and eyes Myria, attacking her mind
* Chad`Winters keeps moving, his eyes consantly looking around.
<Megumi> NRP: Chii -_-;
* Megumi is now known as Chii
* Angela pulls a strange wad of stuff out of her pack. "Now how to get you off that and this on there..."
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...this stations seems dead. *he notes to Chad* Is that perhaps just part of the illusion?
<Chii> <Chii> ...Beat her senseless. I'll take care of that energy crap.
* Chad`Winters grunts.
<DeathStar> 6* Myria's powers are suddenly her greatest weakness.
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...I feared not.
<Marcus`> I'm kinda comfortable...it's kinda like a massage.
<Peacemaker> "Little pest."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rushes in. "THOUSAND PUNCHES!" 6* She begins to punch rapidly toward Peacemaker's back.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Whore. 6He stares at her offended. 6He eyes Kat and moves in.
* Chii moves off of Marcus and approaches mid-range, keeping an eye out for ki moves.
* Peacemaker spins, moving to strike at Kat, but failing to dodge the punches
* Angela sighs and stays to defend the vulnerable Marcus.
* Marcus` grunts. "Ok...that didn't feel good" Apparently the pressue is building.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps punching rapidly.
<Angela> "Shit... we need to get you off before you get sucked though."
* Marcus` tries to push himself off.
<DeathStar> 6* Yeah, nice try.
<Marcus`> Yeah...this sucks now.
* Myria with Peacemaker now distracted coutnerattacks, using a TK strike to try to stop Peacemaker's heart!!
<Chii> <Megumi> ...Are we there yet?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Patience, Megumi.
<Angela> "If I could get a shield up behind you..."
<Chii> <Megumi> But Erevis...
* Peacemaker is forced backwards, taking the hits, before swinging her blade at Kat, meanwhile overwhelming Myria's mind with her own power
<Marcus`> ...let me try this. *he says in a sigh, suddenly he works on 'wolfing' out, trying to use his increased strength to press himself back enough for the portable energy shield to block the whole.
<Marcus`> NRP: hole*
* Chii takes to mid-range fighting, holding up her hand and forming three wisps of black flame. She holds her palm toward Peacemaker, concentrating, as if locking on.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is slashed. She steps back, bleeding.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina falls to a knee.
* Angela slips a shield behind him, adjusting it to block air.
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Peacemaker , now the onslaught is over, moves to stab Katrina in the heart
<Marcus`> NRP: if it works, right!? RIGHT?!
* Chii snaps when Katrina steps back, black lines tracing toward Peacemaker, and launches the fireballs.
<Chii> Don't even think about it
<Chii> I'll tear you to pieces, first!
* Myria steps back..then activates a null psifield, an artificial version of the field that Setsuna would produce when holding a psi amp.
* Chad`Winters has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Shiva suddenly steps in front the stab, and Katrina's eyes widen.
* Chii is trying to pummel the doctor from hell so she can't stab anyone, but awaits verdict!
* Peacemaker stabs Shiva, but is struck by three fireballs, throwing her aim off enough that the strike is a fleshwound
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina catches Shiva as she falls, her eyes widening and she panics - literally. "Shiva?"
<Peacemaker> "Grrr..."
* Chii runs to try and join Peacemaker, focusing and forming another three wisps that follow her. She concentrates on getting another lock.
* Marcus` is able to get free?
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva stares down at her chest and her bloody hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is freed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, God, baby, no...
* Angela smiles as she get Marcus off, spreading the glob of black stuff over the shielding unit, it hardens rapidly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva reaches her hand upto Kat's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts pressure on Shiva's wound.
* Peacemaker , distracted from the two, moves after Chii, lashing out with her blade
<DeathStar> 6* Drake parries the blade.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hi. I'm back.
* Marcus` shakes his big wolfy head, he doubles over to all fours, breathing heavily, huffing through his nose. He says nothing, perhaps he cannot? He slowly lumbers towards Peace.
* Chii snaps, converging the fireballs from side angles around Drake.
* Myria moves in, her defense depriving her of her tK offense, switching to her light blade.
* Peacemaker throws a ki ball at Drake as she jumps back
* Chii slams Drake out of the way, holding up a hand and attempting to devour the ki strike.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm...sorry kat.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Atrum Vorago Engulf! 6* A black void opens behind Peacemaker.
<Chii> That's not going to work on me.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake holds up his hand, it bleeding, as he tries to bind Peacemaker for the others to hit.
* Chii takes the energy she consumed from the ki and swipes her hand, black lines arcing for her from her finger tips.
* Peacemaker seems to be bound
* Marcus` howls and comes speeding forward on all fours, jumping up and twisting in air, horse kicking out for Peace.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds Shiva's hand. "Hang on."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias clenches his fists, as he eyes Peacemaker. He suddenly kicks off moving towards her with increased speed.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I think... 6* He falls, the bind vanishing.
<Marcus`> NRP: course his claws would tear her to pieces...forgot to mention that.
* Peacemaker suddenly, moving through sheer force of will, grabs Marcus, throwing him into DIas
* Marcus` slams into Dias then. Silly fun.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias twists under Marcus and plants off the ground leaping up towards her.
* Chii drags her black lines into Peacemaker then, since she didn't choose to avoid that.
* Peacemaker just watches Chii, grinning
* Chii backs out of Dias' way, forming three more wisps.
* Marcus` goes slamming into the wall pretty hard, letting out a yelp, sliding down it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr drops down, shoving an object into Peacemaker's mouth, then clamping it shut if possible.
<Chad`Winters> FALLING MOON! 6He suddenly flips forward, bringing his heel crashing down towards her head.
* Peacemaker happily accepts Chii's spirit energy, drawing on it herself
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leaps back to avoid the kick.
<Chii> "...Zephyr?
<Chii> "Dias, move!"
* Chii converges her fireballs on Peacemaker. >_>;
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rises, her eyes in assassin mode.
* Angela narrows her eyes, nodding at something.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr detonates the bomb.
* Marcus` comes flying through the air to tackle Dias out of the way.
* Peacemaker blocks the fire with a shield of ki... Chii's own... before being hit by the explosion
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is jerked mid-air by Marcus
<Peacemaker> "... you... little... worms..."
<Angela> Gabby> "Wow... at least Zephyr still seems somewhat like before..."
* Chii winces, then looks surprised. 1"...She survived!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares.
* Peacemaker struggles to stand, her wounds, although bad, healing...
<Chii> Arigatou kamisama, she survived!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes himself off of Marcus and he dashes in again, his speed still inhuman
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina cries into Shiva's chest.
* Marcus` stands up, running in, rather on all fours, behind Dias.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No, no, no, no, no.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva holds onto Kat lightly
<Angela> "Keep attacking!"
* Peacemaker seems unable to block any more attacks in this state... in fact, it's all she can do to stand up straight
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head in disbelief. "But---that grenade...it was ... the strongest grenade in the armory."
* Angela fires a shot into Peacemaker.
* Chii holds up her hand, focusing intently as glowering black lines begin forming patterned runes and lines along the floor beneath Peacemaker all in ancient language.
* Peacemaker takes another hole through her
<Chad`Winters> ANNIHILATING METEOR! 6Dias flips forward again, a dark energy erupting around his leg as he crashed it down towards her head.
<Chii> Don't kill her, you moron!
* Peacemaker collapses to the floor as she takes Dias' hit
<Angela> "Why the hell not?"
<Chii> The souls will pass on!
<Angela> "GOOD!"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Peacemaker becomes a Dark One.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rebounds off with force, he twists and lands in a crouch, sliding.
<Chii> Shut up you ignorant bitch.
* Angela glares.
* Marcus` releases an ungodly whole, his speed suddenly becoming quicker than the eye, darting to rip right through Peace.
<DeathStar> 6* It falls over, and melts away into nothing.
<Marcus`> NRP: WHole HAH howl
* Peacemaker is now known as Terra
<Chii> Consuming her is the only chance I have at gaining my soul again, much less making sure we don't have to fight this strength agai-- Oh shit.
<Chii> So... That's a dark one...
<Myria> ...its down...but...there are still unknown factors...
* Marcus` skids to a halt, sliding...into a wall. It yelps again
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... now what?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm..I'm...sorry.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's group reaches engineering. The station shakes from another hit
<Angela> "That bitch killed Ben."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hang on. We'll get Megumi to help you. 6* she holds Shiva's hand.
<Chii> Excuse ME, but I'm sorry I don't already HAVE my soul back.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stands up, looking too weak to fight anymore.
<Angela> "Did you see Freyja in that one?"
<Chad`Winters> We need to find the main core and reboot it manually. 6He moves through, using his knowledge of the station plans to lead him
* Chii glares right back at Angela. 1"Good for you, you have everything you want except revenge, you selfish little..."
<Chii> Yes, I did!
* Myria follows after Chad...
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's foot hits a trip wire. Suddenly, an explosion goes off.
* Chii growls, slamming her hand into the ground. The runes disappear.
<Marcus`> *Theorn jerks, trying to grab Chad and pull him back.
<Chii> <Megumi> "...Ungh..." 6Shields herself.
<Angela> "...Fine, if we find her again we'll hold her down for you, BEFORE I kill her ass."
<DeathStar> 6* A figure leaps out, firing shots for Chad's vital points of movement.
* Marcus` lands onto his knees, reverting back to himself. "...Megumi...went with the other group Kat...sorry.." he breathes heavily.
* Chad`Winters twists as, doing the best he can to avoid them.
* Terra seems to have gone as well
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina cries harder, yelling up into the air a scream of rage.
<Marcus`> *Theron releases his grip to keep from hindering Chad.
<Chad`Winters> Xanatos...I know it's you.
<Angela> * Gabby watches the strangers quietly.
* Chii approaches Katrina and Shiva, emanating a tremendous amount of anger, which is bound to do wonders for the already pissed off.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure steps out into the fading light. Warren stares at impassively. "Incorrect, Winters." 6* He drives his gun into Chad's nose, breaking it.
<Terra> <Vyssa> *looks overloaded, somehow*
* Chad`Winters head snaps back, blood gushing out.
<Marcus`> *Theron slides to the left, throwing a knife out for Warren's shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren circles around, knocking the knife aside with his gun.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC raises her gun, studying Warren.
<Chii> 6* Megumi flattens her hand on the duct, creating a line of spires from the floor at Warren.
<Marcus`> *Theron has his gun out, two other knives in his other hand.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...Why you... Mister Carmichael?
<DeathStar> <Warren> You are too late. The station has reached critical mass damage. 6* Warren backflips, in prime shape these days.
* Marcus` crawls to his feet and shifts over to Katrina's side.
* Terra hurries over to Megumi
* Chad`Winters grabs his nose, twisting it back into place with a cry of pain. His eyes tear up.
<Chii> <Megumi> You really became a dark one?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* she seems to look up at something no one else can see. "Shiva...? You're so beautiful...wait--don't go!" 6* She holds up a hand at nothing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm afraid Warren Carmichael isn't home right now. I'll leave a message for him for you.
* Marcus` remains silent, his eyes closed.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC fires shots at Warren now.
<Chii> 6* Megumi's hands clench. She's pissed now.
* Angela walks over and kneels beside Kat. She looks over Shiva.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren activates a tactical shield to block them.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...Everyone... Every damn time.
<Chii> <Megumi> Unbelievable.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm surprised, Natalie, you didn't figure it out sooner. I blew up Cheryl and Ben easily. They never suspected me.
<Chad`Winters> To think you actually fell to them.
<Marcus`> *Theron slowly begin to walk toward the left, circling Warren.
* Terra glares at Warren. "You... I'll fucking kill you."
<DeathStar> <Warren> What can say. I am the prophecy.
<DeathStar> * I say
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl...6He stands up,flinging blood to the floor.
<Chad`Winters> You guys get to the core.
<Terra> "... the hell?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up his gun, aiming it at Chad. "Funny we should fight again, here at the core. You'll lose again."
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is unadvised that you face him alone.
* Angela cleans off her sword, sheathing it, she looks at those who remain.
<Chii> <Chii> ...I'm sorry Katrina. I failed to regain Freyja so she can't help and... I don't think consuming her spirit would be a wise choice of action. I couldn't garauntee it would work on a non-spirit.
<Chad`Winters> ...Forget the core. Get out of here.
* Terra flickers with flame, obviously pissed.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims at Chad. "Honestly. You are all so stupid. Warren Carmichael died years ago. You think his soul was released?"
* Chad`Winters moves his hand to his left holster and unclicks it. 1"That's where you're wrong Warren."
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes Chad, "...I don't leave people behind, Chad."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Two souls, one body. Corrupting him was easy.
<DeathStar> 6* The station shakes again, and certain areas are sealed off, only the computer doesn't allow it. The station begins to groan.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We have to stop the Tsivrixsh.
* Angela puts a hand on Kat's shoulder. "How? THis place is about to blow."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We have to get them to stop. The Dark Ones are gone
<Myria> ...Theron...cover for me...I need to stabilize the core...
* Chad`Winters pulls Ebony out of it's holster. 1"I'll kill you now and every time you come back for killing cheryl and ben."
<Marcus`> ...Myria you still have that Gear?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We should be able to talk sense into them.
<Angela> Gabby> "Are we sure... if Peace was here... where's Dad...?"
<Marcus`> NRP: Wh...how did Myria get to the core!?
<Myria> NRP: She followed Chad?
<Chii> ...Freyja's... gone?
<Marcus`> NRP: ...while attacking Peace?
* Chii falls to her knees, staring blankly.
<DeathStar> <Drake> 'fraid so. Sorry.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> My head hurts...
<Terra> <Vyssa> "... understandable..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shoots Ebony out of chad's hand.
<Marcus`> What should we do, Kat? *he stands now*
<Angela> "...Hey!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... .. find an ambassador to stop this...
<Angela> "The shuttles! THey should still have comms!"
* Chad`Winters snaps his right hand up and fires a shot towards Warren and he leaps backwards.
<Angela> "I can speak Tsiv."
<Terra> <Vyssa> "... are you an ambassador?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> You're Earth. You can't.
<Myria> ...yes, I still control Madara.
<Angela> "...I'm... well..."
<Chii> <Megumi> You bastard. Where is Erevis?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina strokes Shiva's hair.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The Progenitor? Dead.
<Angela> "Yeah... you're right."
<Marcus`> Could you use your Ambassador powers to talk to them through Madara's comm system?
<Angela> "Let's get moving at least, to the shuttles. Maybe we'll find one."
<Myria> Yes, I will.
<Terra> "... then so are you." *launches a blast of flame at Warren*
* Marcus` nods. "Come'on then. Lead the way."
<Angela> "Oh, we have one."
<Chii> 6Megumi's body twitches, her eyes snapping open with a trickle of violet pouring through one eye. 1"...What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren dashes aside, letting the core take the hit.
* Myria starts moving.
<Chad`Winters> WATCH THE CORE!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs a catwalk and pulls himself up.
* Terra attempts to melt the catwalk
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts at Terra and drops a bomb. "Hold that."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren climb even higher.
* Marcus` frowns. "I'm sorry. Kat." he says once, before moving after Myria.
<Terra> "Like hell!"
* Chad`Winters moves over and grabs ebony. He turns and moves to another catwalk and grabs it, swinging himself up
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts, jumping from catwalk to catwalk, more nimble and ninjalike than Warren.
* Terra gets herself and Megumi AWAY from the bomb
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks along the catwalk.
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb sets there, not doing anything.
<Chii> 6Megumi dashes for the catwalk as Warren is regaining her footing, melting or not, and then leaps up onto the railing and backflips grabbing the upper railing and swinging herself up onto the next form to face him again.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves back, looing for a good shot.
<Chii> <Megumi> What did you say..!?
* Terra hurries after Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Warren faces Megumi. "You always did fail at Chess." 6* He fires into some supports, dropping the catwalk. He leaps up and grabs another.
* Chad`Winters grabs onto another one and pulls himself up, moving to get to the same level as Warren
<Marcus`> *Theron lands on the same catwalk as Warren, gun raises with his other arm back holding the knives. He fires two shots, making sure the core wont be part of that equation.
* Terra grabs Megumi, her attention turned away from Warren now
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs a cord and swings around the shots, landing on the edge of the core without frying.
<Chii> 6She runs right up along it and leaps to the stable end that Warren's on, frantic. 1"I care not one bit about Chess you freak!" 6Lands on the stable as Warren escapes again.
<DeathStar> 6* The station is hit again.
* Chad`Winters holsters his one gun as he reacehs the same level that Warren's on. He eyes the ledge that Warren is on.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts, aiming at Warren. Wondering how he isn't dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren carefully walks along the core.
* Myria steps into the docking bay...
* Chad`Winters glances around, studying the area as fast as possible
* Terra takes deep breaths
<DeathStar> 6* A series of catwalks, with the core in the middle with only a large jump able to reach it. An abyss awaits those who fail.
* Marcus` is behind Myria, ready to attack anything that may possible attack Myria.
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes it. "...this is a risky jump, Chad."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens a panel, tapping buttons.
* Chad`Winters slides his hand along his tact belt and he shoots something into the cieling and he leaps forwad, swinging over ot hte edge.
* Myria moves for Madara, passing through the defensive barrier and climbing inside.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I killed my son.... 6*He murmurs sadly.
* Angela slides into the room with Myria and Marcus, Gabby at thier wake.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts, deciding to aid chad from here.
* Chad`Winters moves along the edge, going after Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren finishes his work, and moves along the ledge of the core again.
* Myria bring sup the comm and tries to contact the Tsiv forces...
* Chii glances at Katrina and Shiva. Her emotions twist horrendously from anger to absolute and desolate sorrow. She believes she's done for, and also seems to have led to someone Katrina cares for dying.1"..."
* Chad`Winters slides to the control panel and eyes it.
* Marcus` would just walk into the barrier of Madara?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Panel
<DeathStar> 6* They respond to MYria.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands p finally, covered in Shiva's blood. She moves for the core.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears it's been set up to overload, but Warren didn't plug in the last component.
<Myria> This is Ambassador Arhnya of the Erus Ascendancy speaking.
<Marcus`> *Theron slowly walks along the catwalks, his gun aimed at Warren.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Speak your words.
<Chii> 6* Megumi eyes upward, holding up her hand and forming spires along Warren's catwalk, intent on barring his path. 1"Stop! Where is Erevis!?"
* Chad`Winters kneels down and tries to undo it.
<DeathStar> NRP: Warren isn't on the catwalk
<DeathStar> NRP: He's on the core.
<Myria> Why have you intiated this action against PAX?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: And you don't wnat to do that to the core.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> You are overtaken by Dark Ones.
<Marcus`> NRP: really.
<Terra> "... Megumi..."
<Chii> NRP: ...Just the freakin' shout then. It's hard to follow two different things in the same room for me.
* Chii follows Katrina quietly, a bit behind her, lost in her own sense of darkness.
<Marcus`> *Theron watches Warren carefully, wondering what he is doing.
<Myria> Understood. We ask that you hold your fire and pull back. The station's reactor has been sabotaged. We have neutralized the Dark Ones and are working to stabilize the situation. If our efforts fail, the station will explode.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I... ... killed her. 6* He opens another panel and begins to work.
<Chii> <Megumi> CARMICHAEL!
* Chad`Winters slides his hand along his tact belt and moves something around in the panel. He shots it and stands up. He then beings moving after Warren again.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh quit shooting. "You have 20 minutes."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares blankly, glancing back at Megumi.
<Chad`Winters> Warren Carmichael stop this foolishness now.
<Angela> "Well we have time..."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Tell us where you have hidden Erevis and surrender.
<Myria> Thank you. *cuts the comm*
<Angela> "Let's get the others."
<Myria> We have 20 minutes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tries to remember. "I threw her into the abyss after killing her."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along again.
<Marcus`> 20 minutes isn't really enough time to make a difference there.
<DeathStar> 6* An unmarked shuttle suddenly lands in the hanger.
<Chii> 6Megumi visibly shakes again, her eyes welling up slightly with a miniscule amount of blood.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leaves the second panel.
<Myria> ITs all we have...who is that?
<Marcus`> *Theron narrows his eyes, throwing a knife for Warren's back as he leaves, taking in consideration that the core not be part of that equation.
* Chad`Winters stumble slightly, he kneels down and grabs the edge.
* Chii eyes Katrina, making her way slowly to walk beside her. She doesn't know or seem to mind that Katrina's walking toward the core.
* Angela readies her gun, training it on the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is stabbed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the core finally.
<Angela> "Better be a fucking rescue party because I'm getting tired of surprises."
<Terra> "... hey Kat..."
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle ramp lowers dramatically slow
* Terra looks about ready to collapse
* Marcus` shifts to the shuttle holding up his blades. "...we'll kill it if it's a surprise."
* Chad`Winters stands up and moves along the edge again and over to the second control pannel. He opens it, studying it
<DeathStar> 6* Warren winces.
<DeathStar> 6* Same deal; key component not finished.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Warren. Please stop this maddness.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rips out the knife and tosses it aside. "Warren Carmichael is dead."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves onward.
<Chii> <Megumi> Warren Carmichael will be dead...
* Angela unclicks her safety.
* Chad`Winters kneels infront of it and begins to re-wire it, his mind distant again
<DeathStar> 6* A blonde woman steps out of the shuttle, eyeing the gang in the hanger wiht her hand on her hip. <Cheryl> Where's Warren?
<Chii> 6Megumi clutches her face with her hands, the fingertips straining painfully against her skin. Her hair wavering slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works on the third panel. "When I finish this, we will all die." 6* He warns.
<Myria> ...this complicates things...
<Marcus`> <Theron> Warren is still in there, I believe.
* Marcus` pauses. "...Warren is a dark one, apparently."
* Chad`Winters eyes it than pauses. 1"...Somethings not right."
<Chii> <Megumi> You cannot be a dark one, Carmichael.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Chad. "What is it?"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *hobbles into the landing bay* ...this party is too metal for me.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I killed Erevis, did I not? And Cheryl and Ben.
<Chii> 6Megumi removes one hand from her face.
<Angela> * Gabby practically pounces Cheryl
<Chii> <Megumi> That does not make you a dark one. That makes you crazed. I know all about being crazed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Gabyy. "Hey you. I have to find Warren. Where is he?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> And you remember killing them, you can see the memory?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, wincing in pain.
<Angela> Gabby> "H-He's gone nuts... he thinks he's a Dark One... I think he's in the core... we haven't gone there yet..."
<Chad`Winters> This is the second one missing a key component...It has to be it...1"He stands up, shutting it. 1"Warren. Listen to me carefully. You're in an illusion right now, created by a Dark One."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She turns and runs for the core.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his head.
<Chii> <Megumi> Stop deceiving yourself, Carmichael.
<Angela> * Gabby runs after her.
<Marcus`> I'm staying here to get a shuttle ready, just in...hey where's Pope?
<DeathStar> <Warren> There is no illusion...ask your friend...there... 6* He indicates Chii.
<Chii> <Megumi> I swear to everything in this dark ocean that I will rip you to pieces if you continue allowing yourself to be used.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope lays in the medical bay, twitching
* Chii remains quiet, focused on Katrina.
* Chad`Winters turns, heading back the other way to the first panel. 1"It has to be, something's not adding up. Your not acting like a Dark One would..."
<Angela> * Darce leans over Pope, "You look like shit."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's eyes go strange again, and he plants a bomb into the core panel.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Oh no. *he makes a face*
<Terra> "Warren! Damn it, you can fight this!"
<Chad`Winters> Fight it Warren. FIGHT IT.
<Chii> 6Megumi's other hand drops, her eyes bleeding, but she hasn't quite lost it to lunatic-mode yet. 1"You are being less than a pawn!"
* Chad`Winters glances over at Theron. 1"WhaT?"
<Chii> <Megumi> You, Carmichael. Of all people, a pawn!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses before activating. He suddenly slams his face into the core again and again.
* Angela helps Marcus ready the shuttle.
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...he placed a bomb in the panel...but now he's bashing his head into the core.
<Chad`Winters> The Warren Carmichael I know is nobodies tool.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches from the shadows.
<Angela> * Darce lift Pope up and walks out, working his way to the Hangar.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I can't stop...their control....anymore....
<Terra> "The Warren I know wouldn't be controlled like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his gun and puts it to his temple.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Warren stop!
* Chad`Winters kneels down by their first panel and slowly opens it, quickly disarming something. He stands up. 1"Warren you can fight it. Don't let them win."
<Terra> "You can still fight. You can still win."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> They're doing to him what they wanted to do to Angela and Chii.. 6* She says slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the core. "WARREN!"
<Chii> <Chii> You're right. There's no illusion. Only your own delusion.
<Terra> "... Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, turning slowly.
<Angela> * Gabby hops in after CHeryl, catching her breath.
<Angela> Gabby> "Warren see! Cheryl's here!"
<Chii> <Chii> Unlike me, you have hope, Warren. Throw it away at your own discression, not theirs.
* Chad`Winters 's head snaps down to Cheryl, his eyes going wide. He blinks than turns, moving along the core edge faster towards Warren.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at CHeryl. "...as I thought."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ben and I are fine! You failed to set off the explosives properly.
<Angela> * Gabby sighs with relief hearing her brother is alive.
* Marcus` taps his chin in the shuttle. "How much time do we have left?"
<Angela> "Not enough."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at all of them, then suddenly shoots himself in the stomach.
<Terra> "... then... what the fuck?!"
* Angela smiles as the shuttle powers up.
* Chad`Winters breaks into a run to grabs Warren before he falls off.
<Chii> 6Megumi grabs her head, clawing slightly. 1"...Ugh!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes into the hanger a big bag slung over his shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren falls over, holding his gut. He's grabbed by Chad.
<Angela> Gabby> "No!"
<Marcus`> <Theron> Ah shift, *he tenses, hand on the rail, ready to jump and save Warren if that is a factor.*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Sorry. Needed pain...to think...
* Chad`Winters hits the core edge hard as he hangs onto Warren.
<Chad`Winters> I could've punched you...
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *hobbles into the shuttle*
* Marcus` eyes to see the actual amount of time they have left.
<Terra> <Vyssa> *heads for the shuttle*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Needed to make sure I couldn't fight anymore, either.
<DeathStar> 6* 10 minutes.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...E-Erevis...!
<Myria> ...at least I got my stuff off the station before I left for Earth...that's the bright side...including my Omega Cokes...
<Angela> Gabby> "We've got 10 minutes!"
<Chii> ...Katrina.
<Chad`Winters> ....You've gained weight. 6He tenses up and he begins pulling Warren up.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Megumi---the next room. Go to the next room
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
<Terra> "10 minutes?"
* Marcus` pulls up his comm. "ALright, you all have 10 minutes to get that core straitened out."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is pulled up, bleeding heavily.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That idiot. 6* She watches Warren.
<Marcus`> <On Comm> Or else the Tsiv is going to splode us into a billion pieces.
<Chii> 6Megumi blinks several times, crazed, but jerks her head around, looking for a wroom.
<Angela> Gabby> "After that the Tsiv guys will start firing again."
<DeathStar> 6* There's indeed a side room.
<Myria> *comm to station comm* 20 minutes until the Tsivirxsh resume attack.
<Angela> Gabby> "We've gotta show them the Dark Ones are all gone."
<Marcus`> NRP: 10!
<Chii> 6Megumi's first step is lethargic and pained, but she dashes toward it faster than ever.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays there, clearly fighting whatever control they have on him
<Chad`Winters> Hold onto me tight. 6He grabs something out of his tact belt and aims at the cieling again, a wire slamming into it.
<Chii> ...Katrina. Can I be useful before I need to disappear?
<Myria> NRP: darn it...keyboard...2 is next to 1...
<Marcus`> NRP: LOL
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're fine, Chii. Whatever Drake did to you, you're fine. 6* She whirls on her. "You are not disappearing."
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there, waiting to catch Chad and Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren does so.
<Chii> ...But you... and Freyja..
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... .... 6* She just falls to her knees, unable to take anymore stress right now.
<Angela> * Gabby watches Chad and Warren, sticking with Cheryl.
* Chad`Winters holds onto Warren. He reaches behind them and pulls the bomb off. He then leaps over with Warren in toes and begins to lower from the cieling
* Chii does likewise, grabbing Katrina with her arms.
<Marcus`> *Theron watches them go down. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* In the next room, still asleep from her concussion, is Erevis, with a gunshot in the floor next to her head.
<Marcus`> *Theron looks towards the core, then moves to get down to the base of the area.
<Chii> 6Megumi goes from the verge of berserking to faltering and almost breaking into open sob. She attempts to gather her up, although being larger is somewhat of a problem when her mind is too messed up to focus.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes slowly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... it is still dark...
<Chii> <Megumi> Y-...Y-Yes, Erevis, it... it is." 6Sniff.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Tom Pilot steps out and fires into Chad's cord.
* Chad`Winters hits the main floor with Warren. 1"Some help, sis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over, then stops incredulously.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> *he pulls out a rocket launcher now* Step away from Carmichael.
* Angela turns and pulls out a gun from her belt, firing at Tom. "Get away from them!"
<Angela> * Gabby
<DeathStar> 6* Tom fires the rocket launcher, since GAbby is stupid
<Chii> 6Megumi slaps either side of her face, enough to merely focus the strength to lift Erevis into her arms. 1"...W-We need to go.."
* Chad`Winters gasps for air then rolls with Warren.
<Marcus`> *Theron jerks and fires two shots for Tom's chest.
* Terra just looks over at Tom and... well, she WAS going to try to make the rocket explode inside the launcher, but it's too late now
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns and fires into the rocket, blowing it up.
<Marcus`> NRP: from a catwalk above. DAMN I keep leaving stuff out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chad as the explosion goes off.
<Angela> * Gabby stares.
* Chad`Winters holds onto Warren as she's grabbed.
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot is hit. He aims the rocket launcher again.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: HE!
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC fires her assault rifle at Tom
* Angela fires her gun again at Tom.
<Angela> * GABBY
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot leaps, rolling toward the edge of the core abyss.
* Terra NOW attempts to explode the rocket inside the launcher
<Chii> I.. I d-don't care if I disappear, Katrina. You... We need to get you off this place.
* Angela is now known as Gabby
<DeathStar> 6* He's blown up into the abyss.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> NEEEEEXT TIIIIIIME!
<Terra> "... everyone... we... need to leave..."
<Marcus`> *Theron lands on the floor beside of everyone. "Grab the wounded and get to the hanger."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Go where...?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr loses her guns almost instantly.
<Chii> 6Megumi drags Erevis back out into the room of a thousand catwalks, looking for a way down.
* Chad`Winters nods to Cheryl. 1"Let's get out of here."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The core safe now?
<Marcus`> NRP: Side room would most likely be on ground level...wouldn't it?
<Chad`Winters> I've got the bomb and I un did what Warren was working on.
<DeathStar> NRP: Unless Angela was a dick designing the station
<Chii> NRP: Hell if I know. Megumi originally went at least one or two levels up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then lets go.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets to her feet, nodding slowly.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances to see if there is anyone injured that would need assistance.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake slides into the hanger finally.
* Terra is just exhausted
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems unconscious right now, probably fighting a mental battle.
<Chad`Winters> Everyone, let's go. 6He begins moving as he helps Warren.
<Chii> 6Megumi breaks into a run, looking absolutely beat, but she determinedly remains focused so she can sprint carrying Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC turns, moving out.
* Marcus` taps the console slowly as he eyes the time, sitting beside Angela.
* Terra follows Megumi, nowhere near as fast
<DeathStar> 6* 0 minutes.
<Marcus`> *Theron would just move on out if no one needed help.
<Gabby> * Gabby moves over and walks with Warren and Chad.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the two. 1"You two aren't gonna fuck right now are you?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad isn't walking.
* Chii escorts Katrina. 1"...If I could just locate that bitch... She was weak enough to consume.."
<Marcus`> Shut up. *he sits up suddenly* OH god. We're out of time.
* Gabby is now known as Angela
<Myria> We need to go now!
* Angela sighs, "Not till later."
<Marcus`> Myria stall them!
* Angela grabs the shuttle's comms. "We don't need to stall anyone."
<Angela> "Tell them it's safe!"
<Marcus`> It is? *he eyes Angela?*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns and moves after them.
<Myria> *c* Tsivirxsh fleet, the Dark One threat has been neutralized.
* Angela just sits back.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, our heroes saved the day!
<DeathStar> 6* Time Jump!
<DeathStar> 6* 2 days later
<Chii> 6Megumi pauses briefly, waiting for Zephyr to catch u-- agh
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo, Japan
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays in a hospital room, mostly drugged these days.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sips some coffee, wearing her General uniform right now. She's outside Warren's room with Ben
<Angela> * Gabby sits with Cheryl, entertaining Ben.
* Chad`Winters steps into the hallway, Aya beside him.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *getting put back together again...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is done getting checked out - by avoiding the doctors.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina has been quiet, getting checked up without much word these days.
<Chii> 6* Megumi keeps an eye on her-- paranoid about the doctors getting too closed to Erevis anyways.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope is in his medical room, getting high.
* Terra has been relaxing... trying to recover from overexertion
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits crosslegged near Cheryl, glancing up at Chad.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, I have to say, that was an interesting case. 6* He rubs his chin.
* Chii sits on the spare chair, legs crossed, awaiting Katrina's prognosis. She was originally a quiet one anyway.
* Marcus` is sitting in the waiting room, legs propped up as he glances over at Drake. "This is more along the lines of what we are used too."
<DeathStar> <Drake> The good doctor. I wonder what she's been doing the last few years with all your blood samples.
* Chad`Winters walks over to Cheryl/Zephyr/Ben/OtherChick.
<Marcus`> I'd really rather not think about it right now.
<Angela> * Gabby looks up at Chad.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey, Chad. The doctors say Warren should be fine soon. That weird guy with the sword put some voodoo on Warren to help his problem.
* Angela is sitting nearby Marcus, working on something on a datapad.
<Chad`Winters> Here's to hoping it turns him gay. 6He crosses his arms.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I didn't use voodoo. 6* He says exasperatedly.
* Marcus` rests his head back. "...yeah the voodoo guy we killed used voodoo...man he was lame."
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton arrives and hand Cassandra a poster that has a kitten hanging from a branch with the words: Hang in there, Kitten. It's almost Friday.
<Angela> Gabby> "Why would you want that Mr. Winters?"
* Chad`Winters glances down at Aya. 1"Go ahead, say hello to Aunt cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya grabs Cheryl's leg.
<Chad`Winters> Because I don't want his grubby hands on my innocent sister.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands beside Cass, he eyes the poster, then Cedarton.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ME and Warren aren't together in the first place.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hands Angela an envelope.
<Angela> * Gabby looks at Cheryl, "Yeah I never see them doing anything."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey you. This is for you.
* Angela looks at it.
<Angela> "What's this?"
* Chii glares incessantly at nurses and doctors alike, growling a few times when they seem to be poking Katrina too much.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why don't you try to read it first and save me my breath.
* Chad`Winters glances at Drake. 1"I cant only assume one thing if they have our blood samples.
* Marcus` slides his eyes the envelope. "If it's money, you totally forgot about my birthday, Cheryl."
* Angela opens it up, reading.
<DeathStar> <Drake> They wish to learn your blood type?
<DeathStar> 6* It has to do with Warren taking guardianship of her.
* Angela stares.
* Angela looks up.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...huh?
<Chad`Winters> Or choosing to clone us to do what they did to Warren.
<Chad`Winters> To us.
<Angela> "So will he kill me if I start calling him Dad?" *she grins*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Remember - inspiration and good attitude is half the battle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton walks out.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands inside the room, his mask frowning at Warren
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> That was...weird...
* Marcus` frowns, being ignored, he glances out of the window, eyeing the sky above.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens one eye at SPoC.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I feel a bit inspired.
<Angela> "Why would he go to the trouble... again..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is finally left alone, and she buttons up her clothing silently.
<Angela> * Gabby blinks.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> You should sleep.
<Angela> Gabby> "You don't know?"
* Chii glares out the window, her arms crossed.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You should quit staring.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Theron...why are you here by my side anyway...?
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I enjoy the view.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... ... I'm suppose to do Megumi a favor. 6* She notes numbly, and gets up.
<Angela> "Don't know... what?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> Someone has to stay by your side. And Setsuna is away. *he notes as if it were nothing*
* Chii rises to her feet, blinking. As usual, her expression softens regarding Katrina. 1"...Huh? What's she want?"
<Angela> * Gabby looks innocent now and turns her attentions back to Ben.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> An emotional reading. 6* She steps out to find them.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Physical therapy...she got hit hard when that hospital fell on us...
<Chad`Winters> You lucked out Cheryl. Aya was worried you'd miss her big day.
* Chii is rather speechless at that, but shakes her head. 1"Whatever." 6She regards, scowling, but following Katrina faithfully.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I remember. I'm the one who saved you. *he smirks slightly, never usually one to brag*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, is it almost the first of the new year?
* Angela looks at the kid and narrows her eyes.
<Angela> * Gabby ust whistles.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake ponders the possibilities.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> What about your blue girl?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into Megumi's room.
<Chii> 6Megumi regards Erevis very little aside from being fearful about her health, mostly staring at the ground, docile as ever, since she's ever conscious about her close encounter with going crazy again.
* Chad`Winters smiles at Cheryl. 1"I told her you'd buy her something expensive."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Better give me the money, then
<Angela> * Gabby looks over at Chad and Cheryl again. She hops up and walks over to them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<Chad`Winters> Like hell, with you hiding out for lmost a year. You should have more than enougn money saved up.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I imagine she is somewhere causing trouble right now. Unlike you, she didn't get exploded.
<Angela> Gabby> "We were in some bunker place."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aya - Daddy here is going to buy you your own shuttle
<Chii> 6Megumi regards the two entries with a blank stare, then looks to the floor again, silent.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's eyes widen
<Chad`Winters> Aya, Cheryl here is going to buy you a zoo.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Did you want that reading done? 6* She asks softly.
* Marcus` stands and walks off.
<Chii> 6Chii growls slightly, taking a step. 1"Hey, runt, if you're asking for a favor, speak up!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aya, Daddy is going to buy you your own castle.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Always the too cute ones who survive...
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks gleefully.
* Angela gets up and follows after Marcus.
<Chad`Winters> Aya dear, Cheryl told me she plans on making you a new cousin.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck that. Nothing is ever coming out my vagina again.
* Marcus` glances at Angela. "I'll be back." He says simply, sliding around a corner.
<Angela> "Alright..."
<Chad`Winters> Uhh, guess I win. 6He sticks his tongue out at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *just gives him a look of death*
<Marcus`> <Theron> And she's definitely full of cuteness. *he says with a slightly smile* Are you feeling well?
<Angela> Gabby> "...So wait... Mr. Winters... you're Cheryl's brother?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> *spazzes out at her own zoo and castle.
<Chii> 6Megumi looks up at Chii oddly, then at Katrina with a bit of guilt placed on her expression. 1"...I will not stubbornly demand that... It is not something Erevis wants, nor would it be beneficial after what has happened.."
<Chii> 6Chii glares angrily!
<Chad`Winters> Way to go Cheryl, I think you gave Aya a anneurism.
<Marcus`> Maybe chocolate will cure it. *he steps back in, holding a chocolate bar*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leaps in and grabs the bar, and runs off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... you let the waiter feed your kid?
* Chad`Winters steps forward to punch Marcus
* Marcus` smiles. "Hey! You're supposed to ask your daddy first!"
<Angela> Gabby> "...That much chocolate's gonna make her hyper all day..."
* Marcus` gets hit in the face, stepping back, he eyes Chad.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Fine. 6* she turns to go.
<Angela> "Marcus... not corrupting the rugrat."
<Angela> *no
<Chii> 6Megumi glances to the floor in utter depression.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Chad.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad actually smacks the side of Marcus head with his palm. 1"Bad Marcus."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Well, I'be been half vaporized and then blown up in the last month...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door and exits the room.
* Marcus` coughs. "...I was going to ask you first."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at the floor herself.
<Angela> * Gabby looks up at Cheryl, tugging on her shirt a little.
<Chad`Winters> How 'bout you stop bribing my kid with candy...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah?
<Marcus`> <Theron> You need to get your mind off of you and Setsuna's dirty deeds while you're working. *he grins*
<Angela> Gabby> "So Aya there is Ben's cousin?"
<Chii> <Chii> You asked a favor, now you're revoking it because things are a little rough? You're as pathetic as you were when we met..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, I guess so.
* Marcus` sighs. "Alright. Alright."
<Chii> 6Chii exits, following Katrina, while Megumi glares at her exit.
<Angela> Gabby> "And Mr. Winters is your brother?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sorta, yeah.
* Chad`Winters eyes Gabby. 1"The runt's a fast learner."
<Angela> Gabby> "It's hard getting used to the differences, is all."
* Marcus` frowns and moves over to sit down. "...he actually hit me upside the head..."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> WE're a kinky couple...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi now.
<Marcus`> *Theron chuckles. "I know." He says mysteriously.
<Chad`Winters> I would've pistol whipped you but I decided not to bring a gun with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just walks past everyone, intent on going home.
* Chad`Winters steps over, lightly grabbing Kat by the shoulder
<Angela> "You know better then to mess with fire Marcus."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jerks, then looks at Chad.
<Marcus`> Good thing. Then I would had to have bit your jugular. *he notes with a wave*
<Chii> 6Chii seems intent on following her, for whatever reason! ...Walking into her abrubtly as Chad halts her.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *eyes him*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leaps on Cassandra in her sugar rush
* Chad`Winters squeezes her shoulder, he eyes Chii with disdain then looks back at Kat. 1"If you wanna talk about it Kat."
* Marcus` doesn't sit once he reaches the seat, he shift and looks out the window.
<Angela> Gabby> "Hey Cheryl... can I ask you something?" *as if she hasn't been a bucket of them lately*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Yeah, I will if I need to. Thank you, Chad."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmhm
<Chii> 6Megumi returns to staring at the floor, but glaring since Chii's comment, but seeming to fold in on herself, avoiding confrontation of any kind.
<Chad`Winters> It's the least I can do for you Kat. 6He pats her shoulder, looking into her eyes.
<Marcus`> *Theron thanks the Erusian gods for the distraction that is Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina manages a smile. Then turns to go on.
<Angela> Gabby> "Well... Ben's my brother... at least... because Warren's his Dad... I'm sorry, just not sure where I fit in here..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls on her hood and cloak, standing up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias can be seen outside, running a card game on the corner, several doctors standing around him
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ask Dias. He'll give you a chart.
<Chii> 6* Chii looks to Chad, as detached and unconcerned with him as ever before. Not even Katrina can feel malice from her against him, and she continues after Katrina, no exchange made.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves to lift her up and take back into the waiting room, he holds her up, she wiggles from the sugar high. "Did someone lose their child?"
<Angela> Gabby> "He's creepy. He tried teaching me some things that Dad always told me he'd kill me if he ever caught me doing."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ACK!!!!
<Chii> 6 * Megumi raises her head slightly, closing her eyes, by hearing along detecting Erevis' movement. 1"...Home..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is very still, and doesn't wiggle.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Marcus`> *Theorn shifts his head, tilting his head to look at Aya. "...Chad." he holds Aya out, arms reach away from Theron, he looks ackward holding her.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...Am I still welcome?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is quiet, watching everyone.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would you not be?
<Angela> Gabby> "Ummm... sheesh I'm lost now..." *Gabby's eyes drift to Zephyr*
* Chad`Winters eyes Aya and grabs her, setting her down. He glances at Zephyr than kneels down, whispering to Aya.
<Angela> * Gabby bows a little, "Excuse me Cheryl."
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back inside Cass' room and sits down.
<Angela> * Gabby approaches Zephyr.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...I am as weak as ever. I almost forced a response out of you on something I said I was willing to wait eternity for. I failed to protect you, yet again. I could not do anything about the situation on the station. I was completely worthless.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya tackles Zephyr.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *still eyes him*
<Angela> * Gabby steps back as Aya does. "Yikes!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is knockesd over.
<Marcus`> <Theron> The child was supposed to make you forget.
<Chii> <Megumi> On top of everything, I almost lost myself again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis folds her hands together, watching Megumi quietly. She leans over and kisses Megumi on the lips.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Confess.
<Chad`Winters> Right...Sugar. 6He looks at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears to be reading a book
<DeathStar> 6* Aya bounces on Zephyr.
<Myria> "Setsuna, bring out...the COMFY CHAIR! Confess...confess...confess CONFESS CONFESS!"
<Chii> 6Megumi doesn't register for a moment, then takes a step back, trips and falls back to sitting on the waiting chair.
<Myria> NRP: x.x
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks around for the source of the insanity.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I just so happened to have traced an unknown camera feed in the HQ. It was of your room.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...Eh..!?
* Chad`Winters eyes the title of the book.
* Angela steps over to Cheryl, she eyes Chad a moment, as though studying him.
<Myria> NRP:That was uspposed to be an NRP...
<DeathStar> 6* A story about getting revenge on men by chopping off their dicks
<Marcus`> NRP: LOL!!
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ... ... ...Dias...
* Chad`Winters grimaces sligthly and he looks at Angela, staring back at her, his neutral eyes studying her deeply.
<Marcus`> *Theron shrugs. "I do not know. But perhaps you should lock your doors. It seems your bed was in use within the last week."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head. "Let us go home." 6* She turns to go.
* Angela crosses her arms, tilting her head to the side. "It's been a while Chad."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr plays with Aya.
<Chad`Winters> Not long enough.
<Angela> * Gabby watches, smiling.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's right. You show that dickhead who's in control. 6* She murmurs as she reads.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> WHAT?!
<Chii> 6Megumi hops back to her feet, her hands clasped over her mouth, but nodding. As they exit she starts to stammer, "1But... w-was that? Did y--.. no.." 6She sulks, in agony over a few questions, but finds it better not to ask.
<Angela> "Maybe."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I know nothing. *he says mysteriously, laying a datapad on Cass' lap as he steps out*
* Chad`Winters stands up tall, he looks down at Angela now.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *picks up the datapad and looks at the screen*
* Angela looks up at him, smirking gently. "You know, I hated living with her stigma but this just takes the cake."
<Chii> 6* Megumi, busy with her worries and stress, blushes and stares at the ground.
<Marcus`> 6*Cass would see the lovely events of what seems to be an orgy between Marcus, Angela, Chii, Katrina and if she watched long enough, Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* And then Chii and Kat again alone.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...the hell?!
* Chad`Winters grunts.
<Marcus`> *Theron passes by Chad and the others, nodding only slightly as he moves for the exit.
<Chad`Winters> 6It then ends with credits for a company. Apparently he bought it from somewhere
* Angela shrugs a bit, and looks over at Aya and Zephyr playing.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hmmmm. There's a mystery out there waiting to be solved.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *eyes the credits...*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rises a finger, but winces as his wounds get him.
* Marcus` rubs his chin slowly, he glances around those that remain. "...the mystery is where we go from here."
<DeathStar> 6* The Buffy cast begins to sing. "Where do we go, from hereeeee?"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Cheryl again. 1"Do you always read such hate filled books?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Especially if it's against men.
<Chad`Winters> Don't tell me you've turned lesbian.
* Angela smirks.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I love the cock.
<Chad`Winters> Great, even better. 6He sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
* Chii stops following Katrina briefly to stare up at the night(?) sky. If it's night, she stares particularly at the moon, if not, well, like she'd stare the freaking sun.
* Angela just shakes her head.
* Marcus` shrugs. "It's not like it matters, i'm sure we'll be hunting ghosts and vampires again like usual on Monday."
<Chii> <Megumi> ...Was that... just to cheer me...? Because of the promise?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I felt like kissing you, so I did.
<Angela> * Gabby sneaks into Warren's room.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC presses the barrel of her rifle against Gabby's head as she enters
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *tries calling Setsuna...
<Chii> 6* Megumi continues to blink, seemingly utterly confused or awestruck.
<Angela> Gabby> "Spoc it's me!"
<Angela> * Gabby looks up at her.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC Doesn't seem fooled by this false imitation
<Angela> * Gabby holds up her hands. "Oh come on!"
<Chii> 6Megumi suddenly grins, and hugs Erevis out of the blue. 1"Erevis cannot lie!" 6Giggle. 1"Erevis cannot lie!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks.
* Chad`Winters leans against the wall beside Cheryl. 1"You talk to Zephyr much?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not much. We don't really know each other like we use to.
* Marcus` whistles as he moves for the door.
<Angela> "She's clamming up inwardly as much as she is outwardly."
<Chad`Winters> Than you know the story behind it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was there when it happened.
<Chad`Winters> There's more. Something we should talk about in private.
* Marcus` slowly pauses, turnign towards Cheryl and Chad. "...oh she doesn't know?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl cocks an eyebrow. "..." 6* she eyes Marcus, then Chad. "What?"
<Chad`Winters> Later tonight.
<Angela> Gabby> "...Jennifer Carmichael, okay?"
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC studies her, the frown passing judgement
<Marcus`> Actually...I don't want to be around when she finds out. *he turns and steps out*
* Angela looks between them and shrugs, heading over to Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, then grabs Angela. "You. Scapegoat. Speak."
<Angela> "...Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What happened.
* Chad`Winters watches Cheryl than grabs her shoulder.
<Chii> <Megumi> Thank you, Erevis! Thank you..." 6Squeeze.
* Marcus` glances over at Dias. "You win me any money?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "You are...welcome?"
<Angela> "What? I'm Zephyr's pilot."
* Chii blinks as she notices she is falling quite behind, and runs in her heels to catch up to Katrina, uttering no words but a discontented sigh.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes teh doctors and waves them off as he closes shop. 1"Well yeah. 1"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares now.
<Marcus`> Come'on then. Let's go get wasted.
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl. 6He says sternly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl secretly pulls out a flask and begins to drink it. "I think I'll need this."
<Angela> "We had to. I... Sera... was in full Dragon form."
<Angela> "Cheryl..."
* Marcus` peeks his head back into the waiting room. "Damnit Angela, i'm gonna leave you."
<Angela> "Just a sec, I'm being held hostage."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl legs Angela go.
<Angela> "Thanks Cheryl... if you wanna talk about it you obviously know where to find me."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hands him 1/4 his profits. 1"You're share for bringing them to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis decides to sit down on the sidewalk after a bit, despite snow.
* Marcus` shifts and eyes the profits, he smiles. "Damn, you made that much?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks along, her hands in her pockets. She heads for her apartment.
<Chad`Winters> I would've won a car but you showed up too soon.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Marcus` winces. "Damn. We could probably use that car right now."
* Angela heads out after Marcus, as though entirely unconcerned.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Eh, it's cool.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up a hand, then nods to Chad. "Okay, I got my buzz."
<Marcus`> So...strip club?
<Angela> * Jen sighs and slips around to peek at Warren.
* Chad`Winters let's go of her.
* Chii catches up and walks normally, her heels clacking on the sidewalk. Every now and then, she can be seen staring upward at the moon. When she does, her eyes glow slightly and her ears and tail seem a bit brighter hue than their normal creme.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC eyes Jen like a hawk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Strip club it is!
<Chii> 6Megumi stares at Erevis a moment, then hunches beside her, not bothered by the cold or snow, but sure to make sure Erevis doesn't freeze this time.

<Kit> NRP: Gah
<DeathStar> 6* Immediately where we left off.
* Marcus` pauses and glances over his shoulder at Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there, trying to look craftily blank.
<Marcus`> You're gonna love White Ice, Angie. She's super hot.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And she can do this thing with a ping pong ball...Amazing
<Kit> 6Megumi constantly shifts her balance from one foot to the other. By some manner of insanity, she has her tail for some reason, and she's not hopping from being cold, her focus happily providing friction warmth to them both.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes momentarily
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens her apartment door and walks in without shutting the door.
<Kit> 6Chii enters and softly closes the door, turning the knob before doing so in order to silence the action.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl arrives into Erevis house using speed jump powers, and finds her sake, pouring herself a glass. "Tell me your story."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina flops on the bed.
* Angela smiles. "Where you headed?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wanders home.
<Marcus`> Strip club. It's time to get wasted after that headache.
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Chad`Winters> After we all split apart, Megumi, Erevis, Zephyr and Ariel decided to goto Famfrit or something like that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Boooze.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks, listening.
<Marcus`> Looooots of it. *he says with a nod*
<Kit> 6Oddly enough, Chii seems content to follow her until then, kneeling beside the bed instead.
<Kit> 6Megumi's head lulls back and forth before the silence seems to impose her newfound giddiness. 1"...Something bothering you, Erevis?"
<Angela> "Mmmm... sounds good."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am merely resting.
<Marcus`> Sweeet. *he nods to Dias and begins to walk down the street, the winter breeze shifting through his trenchcoat, making it dance.
<Chad`Winters> Apparently there was a instance there and because of it. Ariel chose to try and end her life.
<DeathStar> 6* Ice attempts to trip Marcus.
<Kit> <Megumi> Alright...!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares. "That's not possible."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves alongside Marcus, whistling
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finally stands up, sluggishly, and begins to walk home again.
* Marcus` shifts slightly, pausing. "...I hate ice...totally ruins my cool walks."
<DeathStar> 6* The snow attempts to slip Marcus.
<Chad`Winters> Call it a a culmination of years of bottled up stress and emotions, call it a nervouse breakdown, whatever it was. It happened, and she did it infront of Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Quick! Left, Right, Left to avoid!
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<Marcus`> r l r!
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus defeats the snow.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sticks his foot out to trip Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Left, Up
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<Marcus`> l r d
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus defeats the foot.
* Angela watches and rolls her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias curses, foiled.
* Marcus` pauses, arms out wide. "...reflexes like a...wolf.." he coughs, feeling completely lame.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks more sake. "Wow. I should talk to Ariel."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I hope Candy remembers me.
<Marcus`> I'm going to buy Angie a lap dance. *he nods* ...you think we should invite Drake?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is in the hospital waiting area, trying to solve the mystery.
<Angela> "He might die."
<Marcus`> Oh you're just too embarassed to bring him. 'fraid he might think less of you with his high and mighty ways.
<Kit> 6Megumi hops to her feet and skips lightly aside Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along - normally and slowly.
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr took it hard, understandably of course, but hard none the less. She blames Megumi for it all and worse yet. Megumi tried forcing herself into Zephyrs life, twice. The second time Ariel seemed more content to let things happen than to leave it as it were.
<Kit> 6Chii shifts, sitting down normally, one knee bent, the other extended, and leans against the wall, partially out of sight.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl listens, cupping her hands together.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina curls into a fetal position on the bed and holds herself.
<Chad`Winters> She came to me because she couldn't live with Ariel because she was living with Megumi and Erevis. Much to my surprise of course. 6He waves his hands.
<Marcus`> Maybe we should call Kat up and invite her? *he glances at Dias* She could probably use the booze.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She could, give her a whirl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, you two were intimate. The mind might forget, but the body doesn't.
<Marcus`> You're closer to here than I am. *he notes*
<Marcus`> NRP: her*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits outside Darien's house, trying to form her guns again, and failing.
* Angela sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets drunk quickly.
<Chad`Winters> I've been worried about her Cheryl. Part of me says she's best not knowing me, while another part says she deserve to know.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She does, doesn't she. 6He grabs his cell phone and dials, putting it to his ear*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess that's something you have to decide for yourself. Do you want to be with her again, when she's older? 6* She eyes Chad.
* Marcus` begins to walk again while doing this. "You can always run back and ask him, I'll wait on you." He notes to Angela.
* Chad`Winters leans back. 1"But she's becoming someone she shouldn't need to become. She's shutting everyone out.
<Angela> "I'd rather not, he gets nosebleeds."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes a deep breath, letting it out and glancing up at the sky.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina ignores the ringing comm link.
<Marcus`> Right, right. *he whistles lightly, glancing at Dias* Not answering? I was afraid of that.
<Kit> 6* Chii reaches out and tries to hit the silence on the comm, all the while, she seems to be focusing on taking away Katrina's sorrow, no... Devouring it? Either way, being an empath, she's likely well aware of Chii's attempt to syphon it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nope...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl points at Chad. "Nice change of subject."
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Erevis, what.. made you feel that way?
<Chad`Winters> I've had practice. 6He smiles softly
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks awkward now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, it won't work on me.
* Marcus` shrugs. "Oh well. We could technically bring the booze to her, but it's like in the case of Aya. You can't force yourself into someone's life.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What the hell are you talking about? It's booze.
<Kit> <Megumi> Mm..? Why look that way? You can tell me anything..
* Chad`Winters reaches below the table and pulls out a bottle of beer and waves it at Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't seem to react to it. Her eyes remain closed and it's like she's trying to sleep
* Marcus` glances at Dias. "...she might just want to be left alone."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did not like seeing you sad. I wished to make you happy. So I felt like kissing you.
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the strip club.
<Kit> 6Megumi seems to lose her skip, walking along a little more normally. 1"...Oh, so that is why.."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis comes to a stop now, glancing at the sidewalk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ahh, my home away from home.
* Angela looks at the place. "I see..."
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses and looks back at her. 1"...Eh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nice try. Spill it.
* Marcus` glances up and smiles. "It does have a home kind of feeling, doesn't it?"
<Chad`Winters> Spill what?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have hurt you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your feelings, Chad. About Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> They're the same they've always been.
<Kit> 6Not receiving any objection, Chii takes a more aggressive flow to consuming the darker emotions. Each bit she takes becoming her own, perhaps that is how Freyja and her functioned amonst themselves, sorting the feelings they deemed appropriate between the two sharing a soul. Granted with Katrina it's more difficult, finding which are which.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Which is? Believe it or not, you don't actually tell anyone what they are.
<Kit> <Megumi> No, not really. I am disappointed, sure, but at least that answer is rather neutral. Something I expected...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is all I am capable of.
<Chad`Winters> I didn't realize hell was freezing over. 6He crosses his arms
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mimics the posture and just stares back.
* Marcus` glances at Angela. "Impressed?"
<Chad`Winters> I see you haven't gotten any warmer while playing the sister role.
<Angela> "Not really."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't like bullshit.
<Marcus`> well fine. You can go home. It's not like you're even going to be allowed in anyway. *he huffs, crossing his arms*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pscht, she's not good enough to come inside. 6He moves upto the doors
* Angela crosses her arms, pouting at him.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Unless you think sometime in the future, you see yourself trying to start a relationship with Zephyr, then don't tell her about what happened. There's no point.
* Marcus` wiggles his fingers, waving bye to her as he slips to the door.
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose. 1"Of course I care for her, she was the real first person to be there for me when I needed someone."
<Kit> <Megumi> Maybe so, that is what I was going to have Miss McCormick reveal to me, however... It did not feel right. It might have been the only way for me to know, but it felt as low as that fox-lady's ability to peer into the heart and soul, and steal their memories.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can care for her without being with her, Chad. 6* She snorts, drinking her sake.
* Angela follows him,
<Angela> "I'm coming."
* Chad`Winters eyes her than takes the beer, downing it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think you, Mr. Extrovert, need to think about what it is you want, and then go from there. Some truths are best left in the past unless you're ready to carry the burden all the way.
* Marcus` smirks. And goes to step inside.
* Chad`Winters holds up a finger at Cheryl then leans over and grabs two more beers. He begins to drink each one.
<DeathStar> 6* They step inside, and find several girls dancing. In fact, one girl with some asian descent who looks evilly familiar, is doing a rather seductive strip dance for her audience
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down again on the sidewalk.
<Marcus`> Oh she's new...damn she's hot. *he notes to the asian*
* Angela follows, chided on now.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' jaw drops and he just pats the bouncer on the shoulder and moves in.
* Angela tilts her head, "She's nice..."
<Marcus`> Nice. Hah, she's better than that. *he moves closer, trying to figure out how he knows her*
<Kit> 6Chii, now feeling helplessly depressed and considerably worse than she was before, peers over the edge of the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl stares at Marcus, pointing at him as she dances.
<Angela> "Better then Kat?"
* Chad`Winters moves to the back, heading into the ladies stage room.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks and walks over, crouching beside her again in confusion.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina seems to have relaxed a little, breathing easier.
* Chad`Winters finishes the beers and leans back, slumping, for once his body is relaxed.
<Marcus`> I'd say so...*he tilts his head, eyeing at her pointing at him, he gets closer*
<DeathStar> 6* The woman slides up and down on her pole, staring at Marcus.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes, more in a sense of trying to figure out whos he is. he nudges one of the guys. "Hey what's her name?"
<Kit> 6* Chii lets her head rest on the edge of the bed, giving a relieved, yet restless sigh.
<DeathStar> <Guy> Oh, she's the Queen of Evil, or something.
* Marcus` mouths Queen of Evil and tilts his head, it's hard to tell in this lighting.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes again and seemingly is inclined to rest on the icy, wet, snowy sidewalk
* Chad`Winters takes a breath and releases it. 1"I love her Cheryl, that much I know for sure. From ther eit get's complicated.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, duh.
<Marcus`> NRP: *Marcus runs in, "AND YOU CALL ME A PEDOPHILE!"
<Chad`Winters> Of all the people to cause her pain, I've been there in the forefront.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman finishes her number, picking up her items and moving into the back, blowing a kiss to her audience
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs slightly, making sure they remain warm.
<Marcus`> I'll be back. Mingle. *he pats Angela on the shoudler as he shifts back to the ladies dressing room*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias greets the asian girl as she moves in the dressing room. He leans against two girls, conversing, laughing.
* Angela watches him go and sighs.
Session Close: Fri Oct 26 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Fri Oct 26 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, *waves her hand* who's keeping count? I'm going to give you some sibling advice. Sometimes, people cause each other pain. You learn to work through it, if it's worth trying.
* Marcus` steps into the back and glances at Dias with the two girls, then looks towards the asian. "Hey...Queen of Evil right. Have we met?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Or they become an abusive drunk.
<DeathStar> <QoE> *shrugs* Have we?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis falls asleep momentarily.
* Chad`Winters waves his hand at Cherl. 1"Noted. I just don't know if I deserve to be in her life..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches out with her hand, patting the bed. "Lay down, Chii." 6She murmurs
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *shrugs* If you want to feel down, I can kick you.
* Marcus` tilts his his head, now that she is in some better lighting. "...it's funny. You remind me of Billy...but you couldn't be here." He notes, rubbing his chin. "You ever been a waitress or something?"
<Marcus`> NRP: her...
<DeathStar> <QoE> Uh, no. 6* She sniffs disdainfully.
* Chad`Winters sighs. 1"It's good to see you again Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's why you love me.
* Marcus` shrugs and then extends his hand. "Forgive my manners, I'm Marcus."
<Kit> 6Chii blinks a few times, then slowly crawls up on the very edge of the bed. Really now, threatening to fall off the edge.
<Chad`Winters> It was my only option. You stab hard.
<DeathStar> 6* QoE stares at his hand, then shakes it slowly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hold me, would you? 6* She asks.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey, you needed our balls busted back then, and you keep acting like a dope, I'll bust them again.
<DeathStar> <QoE> Call me Asahi
* Chad`Winters winces, remembering the last time she tried busting his balls, literally.
* Angela sits at the bar and orders a drink
* Marcus` smiles lightly. "That's a beautiful name."
<Kit> 6Chii jerks slightly, but then shakes her head and takes a deep breath, shuffling over and slowly encircling Katrina with her arms, taking a moment before she actually touches, no confidence.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias laughs light heartedly as he pats the two girls on their shoulders.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender refuses to serve her
<Chad`Winters> Now I just have to figure out when and how I'm going to tell Aya about Eve. 6He sighs, deep in thought.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slides back into Chii a little, closing her eyes as she puts her hands on Chii's arms.
<DeathStar> <Asahi> Well, thank you, Marcus.
<Angela> "Something without alchohol..."
<Angela> "I'm thirsty."
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender gives her water
<Angela> "Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' head tilts forward. She really IS asleep.
* Angela drinks it down.
* Marcus` glances at Dias before shifting his eyes to Asahi. "Hmm. It seems you're still in stage dress. But i'd love to talk with you more, if you'd like to."
<Chad`Winters> 6Apparently it's Amateur night at the strip club.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, whenever you do, I'll be out of town.
<Kit> 6Megumi grumbles slightly and reaches over, focusing instead on picking her up rather than warmth. She'll venture them both him alone if she has to.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems afraid of Aya.
<Chad`Winters> Wow, thanks for the support there Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Some buckets, I just don't stir in
<Kit> 6Chii tightens her grasp at that, returning the favor from a few days previous of Katrina's possessiveness of her against several awkward situations and on the station.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes once moved, and stands up. "I am fine." 6* She begins to move again.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes her suspiciously, then sighs, frowning at the sidewalk as they go.
<DeathStar> <Asahi> I'm busy. I have .... an appointment.
* Angela waits, wondering why it was she came, oh yes, escaping the hospital.
<Chad`Winters> It's not something that will go over well...6He glances down at the table, eyeing the beer bottle in his hands
<Angela> * Jen looks over Warren quietly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Write her a letter.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods solomenly.
<Marcus`> Oh? Well that's a shame *he frowns* Please, don't let me keep you then.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure she'll react as well as you did when you found out you were related to Seraphna.
<DeathStar> 6* Asahi moves to get ready.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, but I'm not anymore. 6* She does a little wiggle dance.
<Chad`Winters> Here here. 6He raises his bottle
* Marcus` turns and flips a credit to Dias, shrugging and moving off towards Angela again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But she's not too bad. Warren seems to have a soft spot for her.
<Chad`Winters> Speaking of which, if you ever want to experience hell. Get trapped on a remote planet with her for two months.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No thank you. I'll remain liking her.
* Angela smiles when he returns, "Hey..."
<Chad`Winters> Warren seem's to have a thing for underaged parentless kids.
<Marcus`> Yo. *he sits down and orders himself a beer*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias catches it and continues talking.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis arrives at her household. She seems to pause a bit by leaning on her own door.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We could have Warren tell her. He'd like that.
<Marcus`> So. You seem to be having loads of fun. *he glances at Angela*
<DeathStar> 6* Asahi exits through the front.
* Marcus` watches Asahi go. "Damn there's just something so familier about her."
<Chad`Winters> He would...So what do you plan on doing with Ariel and Zephyr?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll talk to Ariel when I'm sober.
<Chad`Winters> Really? I find you more threatening drunk.
<Angela> "Can't drink, I'm realising more and more that I'm straight, and--- of course she does."
<Marcus`> Of course she does? *he glances at Angela with a confused face*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Psch.
* Angela yawns a bit.
<Chad`Winters> Even more so, niow that you're a mother.
<Kit> <Chii> "I don't trust Drake," 6She says rather randomly.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why? 6She frowns a bit.
<Kit> <Chii> That unexplainable power, affecting even dark ones' doing? He must be a dark one. Hrmph.
<Kit> 6Megumi waits a while, then slides the door slightly, peering at Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then I suppose you should have him realize your soul. 6* She mumbles
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis trips.
<Marcus`> ...why does she look familier? *he asks, since Angela isn't going to volunteer information*
<Kit> <Chii> Not until I eat yours, first.
<Angela> "It's Billy."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns her head slowly toward Chii.
* Angela drinks a little more water.
<Kit> 6Chii seems to be -trying- to keep a straight face.
<Marcus`> Hah Billy. You're funny. That wasn't Billy....*he shakes his head, then pauses* Holy shit that was Billy. I just hit on Billy! *he stands suddenly*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If I was unable to read emotions, I might be a bit scared
<Angela> "Yep."
<Kit> 6Chii drops her head in utter failed shame.
<Chad`Winters> We had to be born Crans. 6He sighs
<Kit> <Chii> Okay, so I'm lying horribly.
* Angela sighs, "Just let it go."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was born a princess. 6She says with a wave of her hand.
<Marcus`> I...I can't just let it go. Are you insane?!
<Kit> 6Megumi prevents Erevis from falling, frowning.
<Chad`Winters> And your crown was a bottle of whiskey.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis scowls a bit. "T-That was mean."
<Kit> <Megumi> What was mean?
<Angela> "You know, I recall you saying you and she weren't together."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl raises her sake in a toast. "A-men, brother."
* Angela stares at the counter.
* Chad`Winters raises his beer.
<Angela> * Jen manuvers to the side of Warren's bed.
* Marcus` eyes Angela. "She is five! Er..was five. Holy crap, she said she had an appointment...I uhh." he rubs his mouth slowly, trying to keep from showing panic...yeah he sucks at it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> One time, I changed Cran's toothpaste with glue. True story.
<Chad`Winters> 6The sound of a trigger clicking can be heard from SPoC's location
<Chad`Winters> One time I had Angela strip searched 3x when she went to see Darien. True story.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't think Drake is a dark one..." 6She thinks she needs to reaffirm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... I hate you.
<Chad`Winters> I'm the king of pranks. Ask Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You don't...? 6* She notes, confused now
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I would, but she can't remember. Oh, wait, too soon?
<Chad`Winters> Ooooh. 6He points his beer bottle at her.
<Kit> <Chii> No, but I am devouring your soul.
* Angela sighs softly. "Go chase after her if you want."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *squints*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes that toast.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You opened the door.
<Kit> 6Chii sulks again. 1"I'm bad with humor..."
* Marcus` pauses and eyes Angela, glancing toards the door, then looking to Angela again. "...if I did that you'd totally get all sad faced and stuff, wouldn't you?"
<Kit> 6Chii looks up, then raises her hands in faux scare. 1"...Rawr.."
* Angela doesn't answer. She just gets up and starts to walk out herself.
<Marcus`> H..hey where are you going? *he follows after her*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just stares, then smiles. "Thank you."
* Chad`Winters lets out a light hearted chuckle.
<Kit> 6Chii squints in return, flattening her ears. 1"No need to thank me... I suck at it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets more sake. So far, it's amazing she's even awake.
<Kit> <Megumi> You... were sleeping on it...
* Angela keeps walking, fixing her jacket. "I don't know..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It is the thought that counts. *smiles sadly* Shiva would do things to take my mind off things. She had a way of setting your panties on fire to get you to move.
<Chad`Winters> A shame this is where you stop getting your tokens. 6He idley notes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tokens? What tokens?
<Marcus`> Whoa whoa. What'd I do? *he shifts to face her once they reach outside*
<Kit> 6Chii looks confused. 1"...I could set your panties on fire."
<Chad`Winters> The ones they hand out at AA meetings.
* Angela looks at him, then looks away, "Nothing that shouldn't be expected..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bah. I have to admit I have a problem to go to AA meetings, and I'm in total denial
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She tries to look indiginant.
* Marcus` stares at her, pretty confused, then after a moment he pauses. "Are you jealous that I care about Billy?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A figure of speech, Chii.
<Kit> <Megumi> You are cute when you do that. Too bad that faking is all you can do, so you say...
<Chad`Winters> Ignorance is bliss they say.
<Kit> 6Megumi enters the house.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes widen. "Faking?"
<Kit> <Chii> ...O-Oh...
<Angela> "How much do you care... exactly?"
<Kit> <Chii> "B-But I could do it." 6She thinks that Katrina might be saying she's incapable.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Uh, no thanks.
<Kit> <Chii> "A-Alright..." 6She shifts nervous and uncomfortably awkward.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *raises a glass* Ignorance is bliss. 6* She repeats meaningfully.
<Marcus`> It's Billy. I love her. *he tilts his head down* I thought you knew that...you were at centerpoint. But it's complicated, like I said. Can't very well be in love with a 5 year old. I'm no pedo...despite my simingly bad luck at attracting younger girls.
<Kit> 6Megumi removes her shoes, looking outward at Erevis. 1"It is cold, come inside..."
<Chad`Winters> If it wasn't for ignorance, little Benny wouldn't be around.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will not. 6* She says, clearly indiginant over the faking thing now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *bares her teeth* I should knock you in the face for that one, but I'll let it go since you're being an Introverted Drunk.
<Angela> "Yeah... I got it..."
<Kit> <Megumi> But yes... You said yourself a little while ago it was all you could do. To meet ...my expectations. It is a shame, really. I am starting to believe that... But I do not want to.
* Angela starts to walk again.
* Marcus` shifts in front of her. "Whooaa hey now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just turns and opts to sit out in the snow covered steps now.'
* Angela stares at her feet.
* Marcus` eyes her carefully. "What are your feelings towards me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to lean into Chii, trying not to let the new wave of sadness get her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans around Chad to peer toward the living room, then at Chad. "What are they spatting about?"
<Chad`Winters> That's the Cheryl I remember.
<Kit> 6Megumi clasps her hands behind her back and leans outward to the porch slightly. 1"Eeeh..? Now you are so regressed that my mere words can defeat you? Where has the real Erevis gone?"
* Chad`Winters leans back to look into the living room. 1"Lover's quarrel."
* Angela looks up at him, her face blank, "I..."
<Kit> <Megumi> Then again, this one is a better kisser.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lover's quarrel? Whoa.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Megumi, her expression neutrally cold now.
* Marcus` tilts his head, waiting.
<Chad`Winters> Well...One-sided lover's quarrel.
<Chad`Winters> By the look of Erevis' face, Megumi insultd her. I'd say somewhere along the lines of her lieing about something.
<Angela> "I like you... a lot... being with you felt right... it still does."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Should we clear out?
<Chad`Winters> Well we we're hear first. 6He notes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey now, even I know better than to get in the middle of a cat fight.
<Kit> 6Glances over her shoulder toward the kitchen, a somewhat eerie look of utter frustration.
<Kit> NRP: Megumi.
* Chad`Winters points at Cheryl. 1"Nice one."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and walks off from the house.
* Marcus` slowly nods, "You're a really beautiful girl, and you're cool to hang out with. And as long as you need me as a friend, i'm here. But I don't want you thinking that there is going to be anything more than that. I mean, sure. It's possible. It wouldn't be a bad thing. But last time we...well...was really not intended, I kinda got caught up in the moment..."
<Kit> 6Chii frowns slightly at Katrina, perhaps affected more by the vulnerable nature than anything. 1"...I'm sorry."
* Angela looks hurt, she just starts walking once again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you. 6* She seems to appreciate the gesture.
<Kit> 6Megumi tchs toward the kitchen, then turns her head back toward Erevis. 1"Hey! Where are -you- going?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know yet. 6* She turns and walks off down the sidewalk.
<Chad`Winters> Oooh. 6He cringes slightly.
* Marcus` shifts in Angela's way yet again. "Hey, come'on, you know I like being around you."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whoa, hey, I think she's really angry.
<Kit> 6Megumi raises a fist. 1"That makes no sense! It is your house; -I- should be leaving!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Last time I saw that, she almost broke Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't respond this time, and is out of sight in a matter of moments.
<Angela> "I guess..."
<Chad`Winters> She's calmed down a bit since than.
<Kit> 6Megumi grumbles and closes the door, donning her boots again merely to pass through the kitchen toward the back. 1"I rather wish she would try to break me." 6Exits to the backyard.
* Marcus` eyes Angela. "...for some reason I have a hard time believing that you're that upset over me not wanting to be in a relationship."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks more sake. "Then chase after her. She'd probably comply."
<Angela> "Why?"
<Chad`Winters> That's Megumi, she's the masochistic one.
<Kit> <Megumi> We have already met, Mister Winters.
<Kit> 6Megumi leans her head back in. 1"...On the station."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waves.
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl. 1"Fancy that."
<Marcus`> Well I dunno. I'm Marcus, i'm to the point where i'm just a mixture of Dias and Xanatos. I'm not really anything special...
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Is that sake?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yep, have at it.
* Angela looks down.
<Angela> "Not that special?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Thank heavens." 6She approaches to ...take the bottle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> H-Hey. 6* She looks ready to take Megumi's hand.
<Angela> "You severely underestimate yourself."
* Marcus` shakes his head, shrugging. "Of course i'm not retarded...which they both are...were..whatever." He mumbles, glancing up.
<Chad`Winters> I bet you Erevis doesn't come back tonight. 6She looks seriously at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not taking that bet.
<Kit> <Megumi> That is no bet.
<Marcus`> Oh come'on, what have I did that was so astoundingly amazing that I changed your life?
<Kit> <Megumi> "There is more she hid from me in her desk." 6She... downs it like rice milk.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Stronger, too." 6She regards.
* Chad`Winters eyes Megumi taking Cheryl's sake, and begins scooting the chair away
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snatches the bottle back. "Mine."
<Kit> 6Megumi turns, ambling back toward the back door, her tail twitching in serious agitation.
<Kit> 6Megumi doesn't seem to mind relinquishing it empty.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She twitches.
<Chad`Winters> Now this is what I call intersesting..6He pauses. 1"She drank it all didn't she.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She grab a chair and goes after Megumi.
* Angela stares at him.
* Chad`Winters smiles to himself, as if enjoying this chaos
<Kit> 6Megumi ...staggers off the porch, slides through the snow and punches one of the training posts, splintering it with her straightforward old-style force.
* Marcus` crosses his arms, tilting his head, waiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes aim with her chair
<Kit> <Megumi> ...D-Damn it... Erevis...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just rolls her eyes and tosses the chair over her shoulder walks back in.
* Angela looks down.
* Chad`Winters watches Cheryl as she comes back inside
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not worth beating up depressing people.
<Marcus`> What are you so afraid of? *he tilts his head* Is this the stubborn Sera side that won't admit something she deems a weakness?
<Chad`Winters> I thought that was your favorite hobby.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not when they're hitting wood posts and crying out the name of their lover.
<Kit> 6Megumi strikes another post, with her non-dominant right hand, apparently screwing it up.
<Kit> <Megumi> Ah gah'damnit... Son'ah'vuh..!
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, that does kind of ruin the moment.
* Angela looks away, keeping her eyes from directly looking at him. "I'm not weak."
<Marcus`> Never said you were. I said what you deem a weakness.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, what's the story with Erevis and Megumi?
<Angela> "I was completely alone. Phaeton was gone and even Angela abandoned me."
<Kit> 6Megumi wanders back through the kitchen, clutching a bleeding right hand with a distinct, "I have no pride left" look, and heads for Erevis' bedroom.
* Marcus` tilts his head again, eyeing her, thinking. "...right. I remember."
<Chad`Winters> For some reason Megumi's fallen in love with...6He pauses as she walks through. 1"Erevis. Erevis of course doesn't understand the love that Megumi has for her so it tends to be one sided."
<Kit> <Chii> ...Katrina.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Perhaps you should .... talk to her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes? 6* She mumbles
<Chad`Winters> Woh there. I'm not good at that type of stuff.
<Kit> 6Megumi wanders back with two bottles of the sake Erevis hid from her and sets them both on the kitchen counter.
<Angela> "Even with Angela... you were the first person without the slightest inkling of using me for anything. FIrst person in a long time."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, but you could --- help her. 6* She finishes when Megumi arrives.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey, Meg, why don't you tell Chad here what happened?
<Kit> 6Megumi pours some of it over her hand, uttering more curses, then focuses on healing her hand, can't seem to do it full and gives up.
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose as he eyes Cheryl. with those I hate you eyes
<Marcus`> I don't use people. Not my style.
<Kit> 6Megumi glances over her shoulder, squinting at Cheryl. 1"...Wh-who're y'ag'in..?"
<Angela> "I like you. I can't explain it completely... I wouldn't have even let you in the apartment if I hadn't liked you."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nevermind that. Tell me what happened.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Habbun'd wit'what?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> With you and Erevis night.
* Chad`Winters looks down as he rubs the bridge of his nose. Apparently not having the patience to translate drunken speak.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't think... The usual would help you. Is that the only way to do it?
<Marcus`> But i'm annoying. *he notes with a teasing smile*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina laughs a bit into her shoulder, wiping her puffy eyes. "No."
<Angela> "Everyone is mildly annoying."
<Marcus`> But i'm reeeeaaaaalllly annoying.
<Kit> 6Megumi instantly scowls, then looks back into the sink, taking both hands and smacking the sides of her head rather loudly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Chad to see if this is normal
<Angela> "In that you relentlessly persue me... yes."
* Chad`Winters shrugs.
<Kit> 6Megumi turns, holding one sake bottle in either hand and goes to sit at the table, handing one to Cheryl.
<Kit> <Megumi> Why are you curious?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it, shrugs. "Depressing people depress me. So if we can fix you, I'll be a happy drunk again."
<Marcus`> I don't pursue you. You pursue me. *he notes, glancing off to the side*
<Kit> <Megumi> I am beginning to think it is unfixable. When I try to fix things, I make them worse.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, that's real informative. Start from the beginning of tonight's events.
<Angela> "I recall it being me who's been trying to walk here."
<Kit> <Megumi> Mister Winters has made me accutely aware of this fact recently, even.
<Marcus`> I'm trying to keep you from doing this. *he reaches out and makes her lips frown* You know that I like you, or else I wouldn't even be standing here.
<Kit> 6Megumi looks upward. 1"...Tonight's events...? It was relatively typical. I was brooding over what happened on the station, when Miss McCormick offered to complete a favor I asked."
<Marcus`> NRP: I thought it was Marcus that made Megumi aware?
<Kit> NRP: Marcus has credit for something else.
<Marcus`> NRP: WOO!
* Angela looks at him, blushing a little.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, so you were brooding.
<Angela> "I'm sorry I've moved so quickly..."
<Kit> <Megumi> I told Miss McCormick to forget about the favor and Erevis wanted to come home, so we started to. It seems she wanted to keep me from being depressed and kissed me anyway."
<Kit> <Chii> So there are other ways? Would any of them make you feel better?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That sounds nice. So where's the problem?
* Marcus` sighs. "Yeah, it's probably my fault somehow...since it's always the guys fault. Look, i'm honestly not even sure a relationship is what I want. I mean...it's nice not having to worry about kissing or having sex with someone. As...horribly shallow that is."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles slightly. "I doubt I'd be any good tonight."
<Kit> <Megumi> She..." 6Squints. 1"Only did it for my benefit. I do not want that, and I asked to confirm that was the case, so she became upset when I started feeling depressed again."
* Angela nods slowly.
<Kit> <Chii> That wasn't my point...
<Angela> "I... guess so..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waves at Chad to say something.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What was it, then?
<Chad`Winters> You most likely offended her with how you said it.
<Kit> <Megumi> I know I did.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why do you think Erevis wanted to make you happy?
* Marcus` eyes her slowly. "Come'on. You're not going to go all girl on me and stop being my friend, right?"
<Kit> 6Megumi squints again in irritation. 1"Because we are close. Like miss knight. Like Miss Zephyr. Like Little Aya. Like even Mister Winters."
* Angela smiles softly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Honey, I don't kiss people I'm friendly with
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waves at Chad to say something.
<Kit> <Megumi> Erevis will do anything to fix something if she is immediately capable of doing so.
<Angela> "I value our friendship... I just hope that one day it might be more."
<Chad`Winters> Agreed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell her why Erevis probably did it, Chad.
<Chad`Winters> And don't kiss my daughter on the lips.
<Kit> <Megumi> Why would I kiss Little Aya?
<Kit> <Megumi> I'm not Erevis." 6Indignant.
<Chad`Winters> She probably did it because you called her a lier. 
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "Tell her why Erevis probably kissed her."
<Chad`Winters> Oh, that. Most likely because she care's about you Megumi and she knew that's what you wanted and she was willing to give it to you. Erevis doesn't just kiss people.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses this moment to get more drunk.
<Kit> <Chii> ...I'm not very good at anything besides fighting, so... I suck at humor and I don't have anything else to offer to place your mind elsewhere... I can only ...steal so many of your feelings before you begin to notice and fight back..."
* Marcus` nods his head. "Well I can't promise you anything, but I can say that's a possibility. Maybe one day anyway."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *smiles softly* You're doing just fine, Chii. It's nice to have someone here with me.
<Kit> 6Megumi looks utterly livid. 1"That is a conundrum! If she is only doing it because -I- want it, I do not care!"
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose and motions to Cheryl.
<Kit> 6She glares at Chad. 1"Which is why I always get angry that you and your frequent visitors seem to keep insisting that I would prey on her or something!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then you two can't be together. 6* She waves her hand. "I don't know much about her, but Erevis doesn't need ... physical things like touching and hugging and kissing and sex. So, the fact she's willing to do that with you, means she must love you. Or something."
* Angela leans up and kisses his cheek.
<Angela> "I'm heading to my apartment."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But if you need a good bang, I can have Chad do it.
* Chad`Winters motions to Cheryl than pauses staring at her, a look of just digust on his face.
<Kit> <Megumi> I would sooner bash his self-righteous head in.
<Marcus`> We'll hang out later. You still need more training. I saw you almost take out Kat. *he chides her, messing her hair before shifting around her to walk away*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smiles sweetly.
<Kit> 6Megumi gulps part of the sake jug she kept.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *motions* Give her advice, Chad.
* Angela blushes, "Sure..."
<Angela> "See you later..."
* Angela starts walking off.
<Chad`Winters> I don't know, the bashing my face in part was pretty convincing.
<Marcus`> Later. *he holds up a hand*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I meant with Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Violence against you can wait.
<Kit> <Megumi> We are even. I know you would shoot me.
<Kit> 6She crosses her arms, twitching.
<Angela> * Jen continues to stare at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is drugged up
<Kit> 6Chii regards Katrina with a half-hearted scowl. 1"...I... I s-see..!'
<Angela> * Jen takes a seat near him and sighs.
* Chad`Winters sighs. 1"There are somethings in this world that a person has to learn to accept are the way things will be. Case in point, Erevis. What you see is what you get. There's no hidden layers under the veil. At a point in time you're going to need to learn to accept things the way they are or move on with your life.
* Marcus` wanders into the park, having definitely lost the Asian girl's scent by now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds her hand as she lays there, putting her head onto Chii's chest as a pillow
<DeathStar> 6* The hotdog vendor watches Marcus
* Marcus` pauses. "Hey. How much?" He motions to the hotdogs.
<DeathStar> <Hotdog Vendor> 5 credits.
<Kit> <Megumi> Like you accept the fact that Little Aya is eventually going to grow beyond your encroaching net of obliviousness and learn there are things in the world beyond what you deem necessary?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ooo, venom.
<Marcus`> Oooh. *he digs out 5 credits and pays the man.* Plain.
<Kit> 6Megumi narrows her eyes at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* The hotdog vendor hands it over.
<Chad`Winters> Oh, I'll send her to private school when that happens.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, after finally consuming enough alcohol to take down 5 grown men, plants her face into the table.
<Kit> <Megumi> One way or another she will grow to be an adult, or you will die. That is life.
<Kit> <Megumi> I only wish Erevis would learn the things I have since regaining self-awareness.
<Chad`Winters> As a parent, it's my job to protect her for aslong as possible. There are things in this world no child should have to live with.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at Cheryl through half-closed eyes, jabbing her slightly with a chopstick.
* Marcus` takes it and nods, walking along the park, kinda enjoying the cold now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe. 6* She raises a hand. "She just really hates kissing and sex?"
<DeathStar> 6* Her face remains n the table.
<DeathStar> 6* A strange person stands on the ice in their shoes.
<Kit> 6Megumi plants her face beside Cheryl's, seeming to be sobbing.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at the person on the ice, finding it off.
<Marcus`> NRP: odd...off works too though.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I mean, we can't all be sex craved maniacs!
<Kit> 6Chii reddens, then slowly fades to normal, placing her other hand atop Katrina's on the first and staring at the ceiling.
<Chad`Winters> Ok, this is more than I care to deal with. 6He stands up.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's breathing slows down, indicating she's asleep
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bye, my sexually deprieved brother
<Kit> <Megumi> Sex-craved? I suppose I am. I have never had sex-- How would I know? Just once would be fine, I guess, but...! But!
<Kit> 6Megumi babbles between sobs.
<Chad`Winters> And I'm done. 6He turns and walks off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *holds up her arms like Aya* Carry me to your bed.
<DeathStar> 6* The person seems to be sliding along, like a graceful dancer - well, as good as they can without iceskates on.
* Chad`Winters pauses and sighs. He moves over to Cheryl and lifts her up, tossing her over his shoulder, fire rescue style
* Marcus` leans on against a tree, obviously impressed.
<DeathStar> 6* They finally seem to just fall down on the ice and lay there.
<Kit> 6Megumi doesn't even lift her head. 1"Good-night, Mister Winters. Good-night Mister Winters' unwanted sister."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Underage bitch.
<Kit> <Megumi> I suppose I shall go apologise.
* Terra is now known as Alicia
* Chad`Winters just laughs as he hauls Cheryl to his room
* Marcus` pauses and goes to walk over, sliding on the ice, falling onto his ass himself. "Umph!" he damn near loses his hotdog.
<Kit> 6Megumi doesn't know Cheryl's name!
<Kit> 6Megumi rises, going to the door and donning her boots again. As she steps out, she pauses to think on where Erevis would be.
* Marcus` sits up and tilts his head, "Um...Miss, are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't say anything
* Marcus` pauses. "Erevis?" he goes to stand but slips again and falls back, he groans slightly. "....ow..."
<Kit> 6Although slightly disappointed, a slight smirk crosses Chii's lips. She drifts to sleep with merely the slight wonder of what 'other ways' there might be.
<Kit> 6Megumi nods to herself and begins venturing off toward the park... Still in her freakin' nativity outfit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems oblivious to his attempts.
* Marcus` manages to get to his feet, then slowly slides towards Erevis, glancing down at her. "Erevis are you injured?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes are closed
* Marcus` pauses and slowly kneels down to feel for a pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* She's .. dead
<DeathStar> 6* Just kidding.
<Kit> NRP: Wow. Megumi finds Marcus leaning over dead Erevis. Dun dun dun.
<Marcus`> NRP: with the ketchup from the hotdog on the edge of his lips.
<Marcus`> Erevis...are you asleep? *he waves a hand in front of her face*
<DeathStar> 6* If she is, she's certainly not going to tell you in her sleep
<Kit> 6Megumi eventually approaches the park.
* Marcus` pauses and pockets the hotdog, then kneels down to lift her up into his arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' opens her eyes, and pushes Marcus in a blind moment panic, then winces in pain
* Marcus` frowns. "I...i'm sorry. I thought you were asleep. I was going to take you home." He says after keeping himself from sliding away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays there. "As you can see, I am awake."
<Marcus`> I do see that. *he nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up and winces again, resisting the urge to touch her head.
<Marcus`> ...are you alright?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will live.
<Marcus`> I'm not asking if you'll live. I'm asking if you're ok.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be fine.
* Marcus` nods and accepts that. "It's a bit odd to see you around here without Megumi." He says as he glances around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns even more, turning away from Marcus. She stumbles momentarily, so she goes eerily still
<Marcus`> Erevis? *he slowly slides over to kneel beside her again* I...is something wrong?
<Kit> <Megumi> "...Mister Jones.." 6Seething anger.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The ice is a hazard to navigate.
<Kit> 6Megumi crosses her arms, staring at... Marcus kneeling beside Erevis...
<Marcus`> It is. *he places his hand on Erevis' shoulder, reaching out to assit her, he glances back behind him* Oh there's Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up at Megumi, then glances away.
<Kit> 6Megumi's fingers twitch, she seems visibly pissed, staring intently at Marcus' hand!
* Marcus` eyes Megumi's anger and then glances at Erevis. "...uh...I suddenly feel like i'm in the middle of something."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I apologize.'
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opts to turn and walk the long way across the frozen pond then walk in Megumi's direction.
<Marcus`> It's no problem. I've already helped one person out tonight. Perhaps I can help the two of you? *he glances from Megumi to Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Unnecessary.
<Marcus`> O...k.
* Marcus` scratches his head.
<Kit> 6Megumi straightens her arms at her sides and shouts. 1"Erevis!"
* Marcus` winces, grabbing his ears. "Jesus christ, she's not deaf you know!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps going.
<DeathStar> 6* And falls. Again.
<Marcus`> Clearly she doesn't want to talk to you. Sh-oooh. That looked painful.
<Kit> 6Megumi ...actually focuses to dash at speeds she hasn't done in quite some time, unfortunately, it's icy.
<Kit> 6Megumi soars past Marcus, past Erevis, and poofs into a snowbank.
<DeathStar> 6* Nyuck nyuck nyuck
<Marcus`> Wow. *he slides over to Erevis by pushing with his toe, kneeling beside her* You really should stop falling.
<Kit> <Snowbank> ...Please forgive me..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ... 6* She looks angry.
<Kit> 6Chii awakens the next morning.
* Marcus` frowns. "I can help if you'll allow it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will do this myself. 6* She stands.
<Marcus`> Very well. Just being friendly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I appreciate your friendliness.
* Marcus` nods once, glancing towards Megumi. "I believe she will catch up to you in your current state."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to walk, then sorta sits down, making it look like it's what she wanted to do
<Kit> 6Megumi eventually climbs out of the snow, frosted.
<Marcus`> I could keep you company if you so wished it...*he says lightly, standing there, still watchign Megumi*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Unnecessary.
<Marcus`> Very well...I hope you enjoy the rest of your night. *he bows his head*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head back.
<Kit> 6Megumi crawls half back, slips and slams her chin into the ice. She gives up, paddling her hands to slide over, her knees and chin forming a stable tri-base.
* Marcus` turns and presses his toe against the ice, sliding towards bank.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...E-Erevis...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there on the ice, closing her eyes.
* Marcus` trudges up on the bank an makes his way out of the park, opting to go back to the hq.
<Kit> 6Megumi places her forehead to the ice instead of her chin. 1"...Please forgive me, Erevis, I should not have insulted your feelings out of bitterness. I fear I understand your feelings less than I ever have."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is coloring at HQ
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
* Marcus` steps in a shakes off the snow, much like an animal, shaking his whole body. "Jeeeesus it's gold out there." He shits his coat to a rack. "Hey Billy."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You only spoke what is true in your heart. 6* She stands, wincing again.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Eh.
<Kit> <Megumi> No, I did not.
<Marcus`> You still pissed at me?
<Marcus`> NRP: GOLD! HAH! cold. Wtf seriously.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You still a dumbass?
<Kit> <Megumi> I said many unnecessary things, merely because I knew they would strike nerves since I was feeling angry. It was not right.
<Marcus`> Like that could change, seriously.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then I guess I'm still pissed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at her, then turns and begins to move off again.
<Kit> 6Megumi sits up, looks at Erevis leaving, and sighs.
<Marcus`> It might interest you to know that I broke up with Angela....even though I didn't know we were dating.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Told you so.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns and updates her blog about Angela and Marcus.
<Marcus`> Apparently I just don't seem the type to use her? *he shrugs and sits down*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along, finally reaching ground.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Eh.
<Marcus`> So when did you start stripping? *he tilts his head, studying her*
<DeathStar> <Billy> Uh, never?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at him like he's dumbass.
<Marcus`> Then that wasn't you that I met earlier? That stripper Asahi?
<DeathStar> <Billy> *squints at him* She really did a number on you.
<Marcus`> Who wha?
<Marcus`> Swear to god...er..whatever...she looked just like you whenever you grow up.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Angela. 6* She tisks. "Seeing things you wish you could have now that you got a ball and chain?"
<Marcus`> Bah. I told you. I ended that.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Sure, sure.
<Marcus`> Why would I lie about it?
<DeathStar> <Billy. Oh, I believe you.
<Marcus`> You just think she won't get a clue?
<Kit> 6Megumi begins to sit cross-legged and remains where she was.
<DeathStar> <Billy> The girl couldn't find a clue if you stuck it in her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis manages to get out of sight before needing to sit.
* Marcus` shakes his head. "Eh, she's in a state right now, that's for sure."
<DeathStar> <Billy> *keeps coloring*
<Marcus`> So you've not been moonlighting as a stripper?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Why, you wish I was?
<Marcus`> No, damn glad you aren't.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Maybe I will go strip then
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "So you just do the opposite of what I want you to do, then?"
* Alicia has quit IRC (Quit: Night!)
<DeathStar> <Billy> If it annoys you only.
<Marcus`> Well I would be annoyed if you stopped being pissed of at me. *he notes*
<Marcus`> NRP: off
<DeathStar> <Billy> Don't treat me like the age I appear.
<Marcus`> Yeah, that was a joke.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Learn some funny ones, then.
<Marcus`> And what's the point of appearing that age if you don't want to be treated that way?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Some things are unavoidable, Marcy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy slurps down some of King's Red fruit drink.
* Marcus` eyes her drinking the fruit drink. "...you ever drank that before?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Maybe.
<Marcus`> I sure hope so. Cause that wouldn't be good if not.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *finishes drinking it*
* Marcus` frowns. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy goes back to coloring.
<Marcus`> So...I wanted to apologize to you.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Eh. Water under the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* It gets colder outside and more snow falls.
<Marcus`> Seriously. I've kinda neglected you the past little bit...
<DeathStar> <Billy> Look, I'm not some kid who needs your attention. As if.
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs even deeper, leaning over and actually lying face down, staring into the ice.
<DeathStar> 6* Now THAT's smart.
<Marcus`> I never said you were. But you don't just up and ignore your friends, you should never get so wrapped up in your life that you let it happen.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Ooooo, *waves her hands*
<Marcus`> ...well that was mature.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm only 5 years old. Gosh, mister. What'dya expect? 6* She looks at him innocently.
<DeathStar> 6* The ice attacks Megumi's face with a vengeance.
<Marcus`> Knock it off.
<Kit> 6Megumi naively battles it with friction heat.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *giggles like a little kid* You're funny, mister.
* Marcus` just eyes her. "And yet you don't like being treated like a kid."
<DeathStar> <Billy> But I am a kid. 6* She goes big eyed.
<DeathStar> 6* The ice laughs off pathetic friction heat.
<Marcus`> Oh I see. *he stands, then moves over to his coat*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy goes back to coloring.
<Marcus`> Hey little girl. Would you like some chocolate? It's really nummy. *he smiles, holding out the chocolate in his hands*
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't take candy from strangers.
<Marcus`> But i'm not a stranger. I'm your buddy Marcus!
<DeathStar> <Billy> Sorry. I'm not allowed to have adult friends.
<Marcus`> Oh? I don't recall your mothers being around enough to actually make that rule.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at Marcus darkly now.
<Marcus`> You finished playing around now?
<Ariel> * Setsuna will kick Marcus's ass next time she sees him.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *she grabs her stuff and moves to go to her room*
<Marcus`> *Setsun will never know! MWUAHAHAHA
<DeathStar> 6* The ice begins to lose and melt.
<Marcus`> Billy. Wait a minute. What can I do to keep you from being no pissed off at me?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares at Marcus, seriously. "I'm not pissed at you. Now go away."
<Marcus`> Then why can't we be like we used to be? It's like you hate me and I honestly don't know why.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna is ninja. Who knows what she knows?
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks, easily putting two and two together, she scrambles away, sitting up as per normal and sighs again.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Look. I'm evil. I don't need a reason to be nasty and hateful.
<Marcus`> Yeah. Yeah you kinda do. Even evil people have a reason for their evil acts.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *holds up a datapad* I sold your kidneys on the black market. The loan sharks will be here in the morning.
* Marcus` eyes her. "...how much did you get out of them?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> A pretty new chainsaw!
<Marcus`> ...That's it?
<DeathStar> <Billy> That's all it's worth
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns to go into her room now.
<Marcus`> Billy. Come'on...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks. "Look, Marcus, we're not friends. So quit trying to be my buddy, kay?" 6* She opens her door.
<Marcus`> Since when were we not friends?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Since I decided it's best.
<DeathStar> 6* The ice melts under her bum
<Marcus`> Since YOU decided? Why the hell would you decide that?
<Kit> 6Megumi shivers and stands, slowly making her way off the ice.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Look, Marcus. You can't have it both ways. IF you're going to think of me as a little five year, then fucking treat me like one, or if you think I'm a mature equal, then goddammit act like it sometime. 6* She steps into her room and shuts the door.
* Marcus` rubs his face and shakes his head, he walks back into the main room and plops down onto the couch. "...fucking women..." he mumbles, grumbling as he turns ont he holovid.
<DeathStar> <Billy> A-ha! So you think of me as an mature adult equal~! 6* She shouts through the door.
* Marcus` pauses and lifts his head over the couch. "Well...duh!"
<DeathStar> <Billy> *snorts through the door* Don't see you kissing me and trying to seduce me like every other woman in this place
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi has left the evil ice.
<Kit> 6Megumi collapses on the bank and broods.
* Marcus` climbs over the couch and almost falls, walking up to the door. "I basically told a pretty nice looking girl that I wanted nothing to do with her because I thought you were off doing god knows what as an adult."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy opens the door, motioning at her body. "Clearly I'm a little kid."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Like to see people pay to see strip in this body. Nyo ho. Maybe some people online.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy considers.
* Marcus` shakes his head. "I don't get it...why exactly are you a little girl?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> *crosses her arms* This is how I look.
<Marcus`> But you changed before, is that...just something that you can do for a short amount of time?
<DeathStar> <Billy> What, do I look like I grow crystals on me?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grumbles. 
<Marcus`> Well if you do, that'd be kinda weird. *he notes with a smirk*
<DeathStar> <Billy> Not going to waste my remaining ones to do a frickin' strip dance.
<Marcus`> Well that's a relief to me. I was a terrible sight when I thought you were stripping...
<DeathStar> <Billy> Why, did it make you horny?
<Marcus`> ...well I was kinda upset.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Tch. 6* She goes back into her room.
<Marcus`> Look Billy, i'm sorry that I'm not kissing on you and all of that, not saying you would even want that, but what do you want me to do? *he steps into her doorway*
<DeathStar> <Billy> *cups her hands* Act like I'm a kid. Call me Andrea. That's who I am.
<Marcus`> No. I don't want to do that.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then I guess you just don't ever do what a girl wants, Marcy. 6* She kicks her door shut with her foot, even if it whacks him
* Marcus` has his foot extended, knowing her ways, it bounces off of it, though it does cause his poor toe some pain. "...on the inside I know you're much older than that. Why would I treat you like a child when I know you're not?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Because you're not ready to treat me like I'm older in all ways.
<Marcus`> I know you're older, but you're still in the body of a 5 year old child. How could I do those things when you are a child? I'm not that kind of a person, those people live in their mom's basements."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then treat me like a child all the way.
<Marcus`> I can't do that. *he says again, his eyes narrowing*
<DeathStar> <Billy> *narrows her eyes back* I can make you live to regret it.
<Marcus`> I imagine you could. But what would that serve in the long run?
<DeathStar> <Billy> And here I thought I was evil. You got me beat, Marcus. 6* She turns to get into bed.
<Marcus`> Ignoring the problem won't make it go away.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to pull off her clothes.
* Marcus` crosses his arms. "You know how I feel about you. I made that pointt pretty clear at centerpoint. I just wish things could be a little different. *he steps back and goes to close the door*
<DeathStar> 6* And so, morning arrives across the board as a haunting melody plays for our wayward characters
* Marcus` slowly opens his eyes, rolling over to eye the time.
<DeathStar> 6* There's several scenes of them standing around brooding, too
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stomps around Erevis' house, looking for coffee.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears the time is early morningish
* Marcus` pulls himself out of bed, rubbing his head, making a face. "So much for getting wased." he mumbles as he shifts towards his door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens and bangs cabinets looking for coffee, making lots of noise.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks in, staring at Marcus. He squints and moves around him.
* Marcus` stands there in his boxers, with his hair everywhere. "...yo." He turns and moves towards the bathroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake winces and moves to the kitchen
<Kit> 6Megumi returns to the house finally, her pale skin, white hair and such all blended with a layer of frost.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints. "You stay out all night?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, unwanted sister of Mister Winters...
<Kit> 6She shakes in the entryway, sending a small amount of snow about before using her ability to melt the rest, sighing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cheryl. The name is Cheryl, pintsize.
* Marcus` steps into the kitchen moments later, looking perfectly normal...as far as he can be anyway, and moves over to look through the fridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is at the fridge, and eyes Marcus bumping him aside
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh, alright, Miss Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just Cheryl. Miss pisses me off.
* Angela steps in, humming softly, in training robes. Looks like she's been up a while.
<Kit> 6Megumi enters the kitchen, still wearing her native outfit. She begins boiling water for tea.
<Kit> <Megumi> Alright, Lady Cheryl.
* Marcus` grabs and apple and shifts over to the table, sitting down to eat the apple.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints more, then just makes some coffee.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake scowls, and grabs a sandwich
* Angela pours herself a glass of water.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances at Angela, then Marcus, then eases himself out
<Marcus`> ...why am I awake? *he points at Drake* WHY?!
* Angela looks at the two, sipping her water.
<Kit> <Megumi> Would you like tea, Lady Cheryl?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stands, turning to stare
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Feh. No
* Marcus` stands. "No...i'm going back to sleep, fuck this." he goes to leave, pausing as Drake is in his way. "..."
<Kit> <Megumi> "I see... Are you looking for something?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Coffee.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps aside.
<Angela> "Drake, lunch today?"
* Marcus` steps past Drake, falling onto the couch.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Um, well, sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is crushed
* Marcus` pause and pushes himself up. "I killed something."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lays there in her underwear only, a x.x expression present
<Marcus`> Hey. Naked Billy. Wake up. *he pokes her*
* Angela finishes her glass, putting it in the sink. "Cool... see you later then."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy snaps out of it
<Kit> <Megumi> Third cabinet from the the bottom right. Coffeemaker should be in the closet, second shelf from the top. Filters are in the second drawer from the left, and cups the cupboard above the drainer.
* Angela seems... quieter, overall. She walks out of the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nods his head. "Right."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl somehow forms herself the power to make a coffee. "You two make up?"
* Marcus` tilts his head, his ass would be up in the air in front of Angela. "...I need sleep." he orders Billy, with glossy eyes.
* Angela walks past Marcus on top of a half naked Billy and just moves on, pretending not to see anythihng.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Go find yourself a bed, then. I'm watching Saturday morning cartoons
* Marcus` pauses. "Can I watch?"
* Angela continues on into the training room.
<DeathStar> <Billy> As long as you don't crush me
<Marcus`> Then move.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You move.
<Marcus`> I'm bigger.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I can call rape.
<Angela> * The sounds of a punching bag having the stuffing beat out of it can be heard a short time later.
<Marcus`> ....oh that's not cool. *he grumbles as he sits up, then looks in at Drake* Good luck on that date! *he gives him a thumbs up*
<DeathStar> <Drake> It's not a date. It's two friends going out to eat. Grow up.
<Kit> 6Lilith passes through the living room, in the maid's outfit she got from the encounter with Freyja and Chii, carrying a tray with a tiny kettle and a cup on it, from the kitchen to the training room.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks over to the scanners.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares, going beet red. "Hello Li-Lilith."
* Marcus` nudges Billy and motions to Drake's cheeks.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah, I see it. Virgin.
<Marcus`> Totally. *he chuckles, slightly. Seems Marcus is much like his usual self when he is still half asleep*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes the coffee
<DeathStar> <Billy> He's like the only virgin here.
<Kit> 6Lilith smiles, nodding to Drake. Apparently she got bored and made tea for Angela-- Going on and on about how ginseng and noni are good for health and spirit.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake just groans and decides to find a place without Billy or Marcus
<Marcus`> He'd better not be! *he eyes Billy, his eyes narrowing*
<DeathStar> <Billy> *looks cute* Well, if you want to be sure, you can check.
<Marcus`> Eeevil. *he swears, tilting his head at the cartoon* What is this?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Something about giant robots.
* Marcus` squints. "I don't understand a word they are saying....hey did that robot just pull out a sword? Sweet."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eeys Megumi not respond. "That bad, huh?"
<Kit> 6Lilith passes back through the living room. 1"I am pretty sure ojousama is a virgin."
<Kit> 6Lilith ambles off.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You might want to check, Lilith, to be sure
* Marcus` snorts, laughing.
* Angela is now known as Angela|Sleep
<Marcus`> Oh god I feel like i'm on drugs. *he tilts back, rubbing his face*
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Yeah, I think so.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What happened? You two yell more?
<Kit> <Megumi> No... I begged forgiveness.
<Kit> <Megumi> Then froze for the night.
<Marcus`> Can I pleeeease have the couch to sleep on?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She didn't forgive you? Oh. Oooooooh. 6* She turns, looking for an escape
<DeathStar> <Billy> If you kiss me!
<Kit> <Megumi> What, Lady Cheryl?
<Marcus`> On the cheek?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Lips
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "Curse this comfy couch..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I've just never heard of Erevis never forgiving someone before. Well, I'm sure it's nothing. 6* She hurries out the door to go talk to Ariel
<Kit> 6Megumi drops her head into the table and sobs.
<Marcus`> How about...I let you lay on my chest while we watch cartoons?
<DeathStar> <Billy> *sniffs him to see if he smells*
* Marcus` smilles like...nothing really...sheets.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Very well.
<DeathStar> 6* The house is quiet now. Is Erevis even home?
* Marcus` swoons. "Yay." He begins to fall towards the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy prepares to be crushed again
* Marcus` catches himself. "...you're supposed to move."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're suppose to move me.
<Marcus`> I...am?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yes.
<Kit> 6Megumi searches the house for Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Yep, no sign of her. Her bed looks unslept in.
<Marcus`> Oh. *he lifts her up into one arm and shifts falling back onto the couch.*
<Kit> 6Megumi checks the backyard.
<DeathStar> 6* Nope.
<Kit> 6Megumi ventures out to look.
* Marcus` stretches his arms up behind his head, the usual way he sleeps, he closes his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy draws on Marcus
* Marcus` perks one eyes open. "...that's not nice."
<Marcus`> NRP: eye!
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah, I know.
<Marcus`> What are you drawing?
<DeathStar> <Billy> A wolf having sex with a girl.
<Marcus`> ...is it...a little girl?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yes.
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
* Kit is now known as Kitzzzune
<Marcus`> Is it...a little girl named Billy?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Red Riding Hood. You sick fuck.
* Marcus` laughs.
<Marcus`> So why did that giant mech just explode? Nothing even hit it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> If you can't follow it, then you just aren't smart enough
<Marcus`> I don't understand what they are saying. Who the hell doesn't learn to speak basic anyway?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Heroes.
<Marcus`> Heroes die. *he says with a scoff*
<DeathStar> <Billy> That's why they're heroes.
<Marcus`> Meh, heroes are overrated.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yep.
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
Session Close: Fri Oct 26 03:14:36 2007

Session Start: Fri Oct 26 16:59:59 2007
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071026.log'
<DeathStar> 6* Where we left off
<Kit> NRP: *flail* Which was where!?
<DeathStar> NRP: Morning of the next day!
<Kit> NRP: I'm in four locations @_@
<Kit> NRP: Oh, right.
<Kit> 6Chii fell asleep on Katrina.
<Kit> 6Megumi ventured out into the snowy day to try and find Erevis. Somehow.
<Kit> 6Lilith commented on virginity, served tea, then went back to Raquel's room.
<Kit> 6Somewhere, Freyja makes fun of Peacemaker.
<Kit> 6Warren, Kit, and Darien are held captive in Aya's room.
<DeathStar> 6* And so the recap ends
<Kit> 6Megumi trudges along the paths back to the park, checking the pond and the clearing, not having many other ideas.
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<DeathStar> 6* The park is void of all Erevises
<Kit> 6Chii sleeps soundly as Katrina rubs her ear.
* Terra wanders also, having recovered by now
<Kit> 6Lilith prods the sleeping Raquel and sighs.
<Kit> 6Megumi would look for tracks, but after a night of snowfall, that's useless. For once, she wanders around with her eyes open, deciding to check local shops and the mall if she gets desperate.
<Kit> 6Lilith re-enters the living area of the headquarters, glancing around. It's been quiet as far as she's concerned, lately.
<Terra> <Vyssa> *glances over from the holovid*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is at the monitors, and a half nude Billy is sleeping on Marcus, while watching morning cartoons
<Kit> <Lilith> Would anyone like anything to drink or eat...? It is... so peaceful lately.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm good, thank you, Lilith
<Terra> "Hey Megumi.. how have you been doing?"
<Terra> <Vyssa> "I'm also good, but thank you for the offer anyway."
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Madame Terra.. Have you seen Erevis?
<Terra> "... Sorry... I've been looking for her too."
<Terra> "No sign."
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns, and begins to continue walking.
* Terra walks with. "How's she been, anyway?"
<Kit> 6Lilith sulks slightly, and approaches the living room, sitting pollitely with her hands on her knees. 1"What is it you are watching?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Gudam Mecha Zeo Rangers Panic.
<Kit> <Lilith> That is quite a mouthful.
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not know. I have chased her away.
<Terra> "... I can't imagine you doing that..."
<Kit> <Megumi> It is so. I am trying to find her.
* Terra seems unsure whether to ask what happened
<Kit> <Lilith> Why is the pink person in shiney armor making rapid hand gestures? Is it an onmyouji?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah, sure.
<Kit> <Lilith> "Really?" 6Wags her tail.
<Terra> <Vyssa> *watches fascinatedly now* "Do they... work?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy just groans
<Terra> <Vyssa> "... I guess not."
<Kit> 6Lilith leans past Drake, staring intently at Billy. 1"Biiriisan, what is it? Does your stomache hurt?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Head.
<Kit> <Lilith> I could retrieve some ice, and our caretakers seem well stocked on pain remedies...
<Terra> <Vyssa> "That seems a common complaint around here."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, look, flashy lights. 6Points at the HoloVid as a special attack is made.
<Terra> "Maybe she's meditating somewhere."
<Terra> <Vyssa> *watches*
<Kit> 6Lilith looks back, her ears perking. She hasn't quite vacated Drake's space, blocking his vew intermittently with a wagging tail.
<Kit> 6Megumi leads toward the mall, desperate. She reaches back into a satchel behind her back and takes out her earmuffs, donning them and looking toward the entry with a scowl.
<Terra> "You think she's there?"
<Kit> <Megumi> No, but I have few other places to search.
<DeathStar> 6* The mall attacks with loud noises and strange smells
<Terra> "Well, I guess if you've tried everywhere else.."
<Kit> <Megumi> I have not...
* Terra seems almost a little afraid of it herself
<Kit> <Megumi> However, there are two places that are likely, that I do not wish to... Unless I must.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<Terra> "Where are those? I could check them.."
<Kit> "...Miss knight's new residence and Mister Durran's gravestone."
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns glumly, and enters the mall reluctantly.
<Terra> "... I guess."
* Angela|AwayAtSecretLaboratory is now known as Angela
<DeathStar> 6* The mall is ... not too crowded this time of morning
<Kit> 6Lilith notices Billy watching the show and retracts from Drake's view guiltily. 1"Ah, gomenasai."
<Terra> .oO(Just the way I like it.)
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks up from watching the scanner monitors. "Huh?"
<Kit> 6Lilith shakes her head. 1"Nan demo nai... It is nothing..."
<Terra> <Vyssa> "She just apologized."
<Angela> * Jen dozes in a chair near Warren's bed.
<DeathStar> <Drake> For? 6* He looks more confused.
<Terra> <Vyssa> "At a guess, being in the way of the holovid."
<Kit> <Lilith> I did not obstruct his view, it seems. Please do not worry, Durekusan."
* Angela continues to train.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, I don't watch cartoons. It's okay.
<Kit> <Lilith> What are you doing with the monitors?
<DeathStar> <Drake> Looking for strange reports.
<Kit> 6Megumi checks the plush shop, firstmost.
<DeathStar> 6* Empty of Erevises
<Kit> <Lilith> More cases?
<DeathStar> <Drake> So far, none.
<Kit> <Lilith> I wonder if a yuki-onna will appear this winter.
<Kit> 6Megumi then moves on to the craft shops and any selling knick-knacks thereof.
<DeathStar> 6* Empty of Erevises
<Kit> 6Megumi sulks whole-heartedly. 1"Madame Terra... Can you check miss knight's new place?"
<Terra> "Sure thing."
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not wish to disturb Miss Zephyr.
* Terra nods, a little worriedly
<Terra> "I'll pass on that you were looking for her."
* Terra starts off for Ariel's
<Kit> <Megumi> I will wait at Erevis'...
<Kit> 6She turns to head home.
<Terra> "Take care, okay?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Please hurry.
<Terra> "I will."
* Terra hurries now
<Kit> 6Megumi returns to the house, sitting on the porch to wait.
<DeathStar> 6* Terra uses special powers to arrive at Ariel's house in mere minutes our time
<Kit> <Lilith> Do you enjoy hunting paranormal things, Durekusan?
<DeathStar> <Drake> It's a living.
<Kit> <Lilith> Eh? Then what do you enjoy?
<DeathStar> <Drake> My living.
* Terra knocks on the door
<Kit> <Lilith> Ah, so you do enjoy your work.
<DeathStar> 6 *Drake smiles mysteriously.
* Ariel answers the door. Looking a little surprised. She wonders if everyone has her address.
<Kit> <Lilith> So, were I not under ojousama's contract, you would hunt me, too, I bet.
<DeathStar> <Drake> If you preyed on innocents.
<Terra> "Hello Ariel. Is Erevis there?"
<Kit> <Lilith> Mm... I must do whatever my inugami tsukai commands.
<DeathStar> 6* Snow falls on Megumi.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers up at it, weary.
* Angela finishes her excersizes, checking the time she grabs her bag and moves to the restroom to change into casual clothes.
<Ariel> "No, she's not. Is something wrong?"
<Terra> "Me and Megumi were looking for her, and we couldn't find her.. we've been worried."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers around Ariel. "She still missing? What a lover's quarrel."
<Terra> "Hey Cheryl. Sorry, I didn't bring around any drinks this time."
* Ariel glances at Cheryl, then back to Terra, "...how long has she been gone?"
<Terra> "I'm not sure... I was resting up for the last couple of days... I only started looking today."
* Angela steps out into the main room, yawning a little as she goes to grab her jacket.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Since last night. Erevis and Megumi had a spat, and Erevis left.
<Terra> "... so, she wasn't just blaming herself then... damn."
<Kit> <Lilith> Good morning, Benettosan.
* Angela looks over at Lilith and smiles. "Good morning Lil-chan."
<Terra> "I don't think either of us has checked Xanatos' grave yet, but... maybe Megumi is."
<Terra> "I don't know though, she doesn't seem comfortable around there."
<Kit> <Lilith> Is training going well?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Erevis seems sensible enough to me. When she cools down, she'll go home.
<Terra> "Yeah, I guess..."
<Kit> 6Chii slowly opens her eyes, having slept another portion of the day away. Such a thing is foreign ground to her.
<Angela> "Very well. Though I appear to lack a sparring partner." *she eyes the likely unconcious Marcus*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, not normally one to sleep all that much, seems to be thinking hard as she stares at the ceiling
<Terra> "And I guess you can't find her if she doesn't want to be found."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I know what I do when I get pissed. I drink!
<Ariel> "...I'll keep an eye out Terra. I'll let you know if I hear anything."
<Terra> "Alright." *pauses, then sighs* "I... guess that means I should be going.."
<Kit> <Lilith> I could spar with you... I have little else to attent to when ojousama is sleeping.
* Angela ties back her hair into a long tail and smiles, "Very well, perhaps later, I'm going to go pay Darien a visit."
<Kit> <Lilith> I see. Iterashai, then.
<Terra> "Thanks."
<Kit> 6Chii peers up at Katrina, trying not to move or alert her just yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake doesn't comment on that means she'll miss lunch.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina appears oblivious
* Terra turns to walk away, seemingly a little reluctantly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, back to our talk. 6* She tells Ariel, going back to the living room
* Angela looks to drake, as though reading his mind, "Late lunch, should be back around 1 am, if that's okay... unless you'd like to accompany me?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> 1 AM...?
* Terra goes to check Xan's grave first, then, if no Erevis, bars. ...she could use a drink, anyway.
<Angela> "PM."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. 1 PM, then
* Angela smiles a little and blushes, "Sorry, head in the clouds..."
<Angela> "That's if you don't want to come."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'll stay here.
<DeathStar> 6* The grave is empty of Erevises.
* Angela nods and smiles softly, and steps out into the chill, heading for the jail.
* Terra heads to the nearest bar then
<Kit> 6Megumi rises, after a long pause, shaking herself slightly to knock away the snow, then after a time she deems too long to await an answer, heads to the grave herself, apparently having been wrong to rely on Terra!
<Kit> <Lilith> Oh? But there are no missions, what will you do, Durekusan?
* Terra meets Megumi on the way from the grave
<DeathStar> <Drake> Crime always comes to those who wait.
<Terra> "Hey... I still haven't found her..."
<Terra> "Cheryl suggested that she might be drinking... though it's not like her."
* Angela arrives a short time later.
<Kit> "...Hmm."
<Kit> 6Megumi nods, without a word and begins running... a slightly different direction. When the mention of drinking is brought up, she had too much to remember correctly, but she does recall a place they drank first of all.
* Terra follows. Megumi seems to know where she's going
<DeathStar> 6* A random NPC follows Terra, for she seems to know where she's following.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards give Angela a thorough strip search, remembering her
* Angela doesn't seem to care much.
<DeathStar> 6* Insulted, they feel her up
<DeathStar> 6* Sending Angela on through, she's led to a waiting area.
* Angela waits patiently, taking out a book and reading as she waits.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi arrives at the closed bar. It IS morning
<Kit> 6Megumi turns, crossing her arms indignantly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is led out in his chaind and he sits down, staring at Angela. "Hello."
<DeathStar> 6* Though it does appear someone is inside right now
* Angela sits down, giving a weak smile, "Hey..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts. He's not lost his prison look any. He studies Angela.
<Terra> "... either Erevis or the owner."
* Angela studies him back. "I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sorry?
<Angela> "I believe I have done something you would not approve of."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh? 6* He tilts his head, wondering what Angela has done now
<Angela> "The fight I had with Ariel..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, leaning back in his seat. "Go on."
<Kit> 6Megumi closes her eyes, listening intently for the sound of the movements inside, but isn't particularly hopeful.
<Angela> "Maybe it's Sera's independance streak, maybe it's how to her, Ariel was just a purpose, a mission... maybe I just finally snapped from the pressure..."
<DeathStar> 6* She can hear someone in there.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That doesn't really explain a whole lot.
* Terra just waits
<Angela> "I got in a fight with her after Zephyr was injured."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *rubs his face*
* Angela sits back, looking up at the cieling. "Angela wasted her entire life trying to earn her approval, she has barely even noticed Angela since the day of the Dragoon War."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just stares.
<Angela> "...Right."
* Angela taps her head.
<Angela> "Angela and Seraphna up here now."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just keeps staring
* Kit already knew someone was inside!
<Kit> 6Megumi turns and knocks.
* Angela sighs and starts to smile at the look on his face.
<Angela> "I'm not crazy."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's staring doesn't seem to indicate he thinks she's crazy
<Angela> "Well... no more then I've always been."
<Angela> "What...?"
<DeathStar> 6* After a moment, the door opens and a man squints at Megumi. "We're closed until this evening."
<DeathStar> <Darien> If you wish to complain about how Ariel has, or has not, treated you, then find someone else. 6* He turns to tell the guard he's ready to go.
<Terra> "You wouldn't have seen a woman like..." *describes Erevis* "would you?"
<Angela> "No..."
<Angela> "That's not it."
* Angela grips the table.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses and turns back to look at Angela.
<DeathStar> <Man> Yeah. She was here most of the night. *rubs his chin* I finally had to throw her out a few hours ago.
<Angela> "I have no complaints... if anything I'm pised off at myself."
<Angela> "Please. Sit."
<Terra> "Do you know where she went?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts into his seat. "Alright. Why are you pissed at yourself, then?"
<DeathStar> <Man> Do I look like her daddy?
* Terra sighs. "Well, thanks for answering, anyway."
<Angela> "Whatever she's done or not, it was my choice to let it happen. Everything has been." *she rubs her head a little* "I guess I'm really just starting to look at my actions for what they have been."
<DeathStar> <Man> Hm. Well, she had been listening to some guys talk about a fight club. Maybe she went there. 6* He shrugs.
<Terra> "Did you hear where it was?"
<DeathStar> <Man> *sniffs* MAybe I know. It's kinda hard...to remember. 6* He looks left and right to see if anyone is near.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien listens to her now, tilting his head back a little to look at her through his longer hair.
<Angela> "I'm not entirely sure what's happening to me still... since she... since we became one being..."
<Angela> "My senses are all thrown off, I have two entirely different sets of feelings about everyone."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Heh. 6* He seems amused suddenly.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I find it hard to believe that Erevis would entertain herself with something like that, but if she felt challenged, she would not back down.
* Angela tilts her head a little at him now.
<Kit> 6Megumi stares at the tender, an intensity in her eyes far beyond what someone her size should be possessing. At least in an ageist sense.
<Angela> "...Like Ariel... half of me wants to go and ask yet again for forgiveness... the other half thinks I shouldn't."
<DeathStar> 6* Man stares back meekly now.
<Terra> "It's clear. You can tell us."
<DeathStar> <Man> *sighs. Clearly these two don't know how credits work here*
* Terra sighs, and hands some over
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's only complicated because you're making it complicated.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Do you think Death Star and Darien Starr's personalities were the same?
<Terra> .oO(I hope you appreciate this...)
<DeathStar> 6* The man pockets it, then leans forward, giving them an address at some docks nearby.
<Terra> "Okay!"
<Angela> "No, since I'm pretty sure Darien Starr wasn't exactly fond of me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And do I appear to be confused on my memories?
<Kit> 6Megumi doesn't have any credits and naturally doesn't know that sort of thing. She merely seems to be rushed to arrive at the given point.
<Angela> "No... that's why I came to see you."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's simple. You chose who you want to be, and you be that person.
<DeathStar> *choose
* Terra heads over there, seemingly a lot more cheerful than before
* Xanatos has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Angela> "Why did you want to be Deathstar?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> It was necessary for the survival of the Earth. Darien and I both felt that way.
<Angela> "What do I do with no necessity?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's always a necessity. You just need to decide what that is.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I am neither Death Star, nor am I Darien. I am who I am. 6* He shrugs
<Kit> <Chii> Are you... okay, Katrina?
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns at the location. 1"Could Erevis really be here?"
<Terra> "If challenged... yeah."
<Kit> <Lilith> Do you enjoy anything besides, work, Durekusan?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jumps a bit, then looks at Chii. "Just a little sad."
<Kit> <Megumi> I am unsure. I challenged Erevis and she walked away from me.
<Kit> <Megumi> Perhaps she is maturing more than I was aware... more than me.
* Angela nods, "I guess I need to think on that... and other things... the new girl has me lost."
* Terra seems a little pained, hearing that "... maybe she didn't know how to 'fight' there..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Another new girl?
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the warehouse, and find it's emptied out mostly. A few people are left hiding the blood traces.
<Angela> "Gabriella Jennifer Carmichael."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah. 6* He seems unsurprised.
<Terra> "Too late?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Hrmph... It was childish of me anyway... Wanting to pick a fight just because I could not comprehend her feelings..
<Terra> "Sounds like you're growing up too."
<Kit> <Megumi> Not enough.
<Kit> 6She marches over to one of the concealers. 1"You."
<Angela> "...She acts like Warren's her dad."
<DeathStar> 6* One of the men turn to face Megumi, sizing her up. "What you want, runt?"
<Angela> "And she knows me. I don't even know how."
<Kit> <Megumi> Tell me where Erevis is.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Warren is a man of many talents.
<DeathStar> <Man> Who?
<Kit> 6Megumi twitches. 1"Erevis! Where is Erevis!?"
* Angela looks down. "She's fourteen."
<DeathStar> 6* The man looks annoyed now. "Beat it. Go do your homework."
<Angela> "That doesn't make sense."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Many. Talents.
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not have school and I am not leaving until I know where Erevis has gone.
<Angela> "...Did you know he was going to take me in?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm a man in prison. What would I know of the outside world?
<DeathStar> <Man> I don't even know who that is, kid
<Angela> "You gave me the number."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *looks innocent* Are you sure that's not a false memory?
* Terra wanders over. "Erevis." *gives a description again*
<Kit> 6Megumi suddenly looks sheepish. 1"...Oh, right. Erevis is..." 6She looks over at Terra, then scowls at the ground.
<Angela> "I'm certain. I have the number in my pocket and I know your handwriting."
<Kit> 6Chii scowls, puffing her cheeks childishly at Katrina. 1"...Sou ka.."
<DeathStar> 6* The man pauses. "Oh yeah, she was here. Pretty wasted. Demand a challenge."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I faked my handwriting. You can prove nothing.
<Kit> 6Megumi raises one of her hands. 1"Where did she go!?"
<DeathStar> <Man> After getting her ass kicked after fainting in a bout? Probably home. She left like less than an hour ago.
<DeathStar> <Man> You her kid or sumthin'?
<Kit> 6Megumi's eyes flare. 1"...Whom did she lose to?"
<Kit> 6Her knuckles crack.
<Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> <Man> Whoa, now, I'm not telling you. Come during proper fight hours.
<Kit> <Megumi> "Tell me you worthless bottomfeeder! I do not care if I have to come another time." 6She practically snarls.
<DeathStar> <Man> Hmph. What can a little brat like you do?
* Xanatos is now known as Theron`
<Terra> "... oh, you did NOT just ask that question."
<Kit> 6Megumi reaches for what she can reach, his waist band, clenching it in her left hand. 1"...Is an audition necessary for you to answer a simple question..!?"
* Angela sighs. "Darien... I'm grasping, it'd help if I even knew the slightest bit about who I was before the attack on the colony..."
<DeathStar> <Man> Look, I don't want to hafta hurt you, brat.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And why is that necessary?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Will it change who you are today?
<Kit> 6Megumi focuses, her hair bristling slightly and her ears jerking once. She's learned well, though, that her tantrum has consequences, and so she knows not to throw someone into a solid object like a tree. Instead she turns and attempts to hurtle the man off the docks and far into the water.
<Angela> "No it won't, but it'll set many things in my mind at ease... it'll give me something most people take for granted."
* Terra watches, then smiles. "NICELY done..."
* Theron` steps out of the shadows. "That was immature." He says to Megumi.
<Terra> "Hey, it's not like a bit of water's going to hurt."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're wrong, Angela. 6 He shakes his head. "Very wrong. One's past isn't necessary to know who they are today. Does Chad obsess about who he was as Id?
<DeathStar> 6* The man falls into the water
<Theron`> And you should be ashamed of yourself for goading her on. *he scolds Terra*
<DeathStar> 6* He promptly begins to freeze
<Angela> "We've both met Id, I don't think anyone wants to know that, especially him."
<Terra> "What?! I did nothing of the sort!"
<DeathStar> <Darien> But according to you, the past is the past!
<Terra> "Anyway, he was asking for it."
<Kit> 6Megumi stares intently at the water, not looking to Theron. 1"I care not." She steps toward the edge of the dock and kneels, forming jagged crystal that could be scaled into the water to him. 1"...Now tell me, damn it."
<DeathStar> 6* The man just freezes slowly to death and begins to drown
* Theron` crosses his arm, "Megumi, you will stop this nonsense or I will stop you myself."
<Angela> "Darien... for a long time on the PAX2, I was content with what I was becoming... little more then a weapon, a monster who came from Cran's legacy."
<Terra> "Just get the guy out, and question him once he's dry..."
* Theron` quickly moves forward and jumps in to save the man.
<Kit> 6Megumi slides down along the crystal and reaches to grab him before he sinks, dragging him onto the dock.
* Terra ... does nothing, since the others have it covered
<Angela> "Then I learned that I was human, that there was more to me then just the machine I had strived to perfect."
* Theron` pushes Megumi off, lifting the man onto the dock, checking his pulse.
<Angela> "I was human, my name was Angela Bennet... that there was a part of me still pure."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *snorts at that*
<Kit> <Megumi> Unless you have a way to warm his body, move.
* Angela looks up at him confused.
* Terra blinks at Theron. "His pulse? Is it really that bad?"
<Angela> "What...?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> You like to romantize things, Angela. You like to think that certain parts of your past are special, or pure. But the fact is, you are who you are today, not from what you forgot, but from who you are the day your memories began.
<Terra> "I can warm him up, if you need help."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's time you grew up and accepted who you are, not who you might have been.
<DeathStar> 6* The man is alive
<Theron`> You've done enough. *he says with a bit of a tone*
<Kit> 6Megumi holds out her hand, focusing on the moisture itself, drawing it away from the man's body. 1"Then please, Madame Terra."
* Angela looks as though another parental figure has just slapped her in the face. She just nods slowly.
<Kit> <Megumi> Apparently I am unallowed.
<Terra> "..." *eyes Theron, then heats the air around the man, not enough to burn anything, but enough to warm him*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs, then stands up.
* Terra ... actually, just heats the man directly, once she's sure she won't burn anything accidentally
<Angela> "Darien?"
<Theron`> Maybe if you weren't acting like such a child, then this wouldn't have happened! *He stands now, pretty upset.*
<Terra> "So, what? You're supposed to just back down without complaint when anyone threatens or insults you?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't think you're ready to hear what I have to say. Angela. And for once, I don't think I am the person you should come to for advice.
<Kit> <Megumi> I will not forgive anyone who harms Erevis. Not myself, so especially not some weak earthling who cannot tell she is incapable of fighting.
<Angela> "Ready to hear...?"
* Angela speaks as though going numb, a bit dazed, she stands as well.
<Terra> "Incapable?"
<Theron`> He told you where Erevis was. Yet you persisted to remain so you could avenge her or whatveer. Instead of going to check on her, you remained her!
<Kit> 6Megumi suddenly pauses, holding a hand over one of her eyes.
<Theron`> NRP: heere
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Famfrit..
<Terra> "... she's been hit that bad...?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> *leans forward, facing Angela face to face* My past is one filled with tragedy and loss. I've lost everyone I ever knew. I've struggled with hundreds of years with hate in my heart. 6* He taps his chest. "And I'm telling you, Angela. Either you make peace with who you are today, or turn your back on it on a quest to learn who you were yesterday.
<Kit> 6Megumi mumbles something else incoherently, then looks to Theron wide-eyed and scrambles to her feet, necessary to use both her hands and feet in doing so thanks to the snow, but dashes away from the docks.
* Terra sounds worried as she says that
* Theron` crosses his arms. "You enable her, Terra. Instead of truly letting her grow."
<Terra> "..."
<Terra> "You're serious?"
<Kit> 6Megumi apparently realized what Theron was saying briefly before he said it enough aloud, she makes a break for home as quick as she can without focusing to do so.
<Theron`> Do I look like a man that jokes?
* Angela closes her eyes a second, as if searching for something, she flinches and opens her eyes. "I just... don't know where to start in making peace..."
<Kit> <Chii> You're... not you when you're sad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Neither do I, Angela. That's why I'm not the man to ask.
<Terra> "... so, what do I do, then?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? 6* She smiles slightly. "I guess that's because you all don't see me sad very often."
<Kit> <Chii> ...I don't quite understand, but you have a lot of sorrow to devour..
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *she looks out the window* Shiva and I were close. We were lovers.
<Terra> "Am I really that horrible a person?"
<Kit> 6Chii nods slowly. 1"...I think I came to know that, although it wasn't certain."
<Theron`> You try to be a friend...a sister or so have you. Megumi needs someone to guide her. A parent figure.
<Kit> <Chii> I was indecisive at the time, but I feel I should have eaten her spirit.
<Angela> "When are you getting out of here Darien..."
<Terra> "... she has one. Erevis."
<Terra> "I'd be a pretty lousy parent, if that's what you're suggesting."
<Theron`> So you're suggesting that her parent, is the one that she desires to be a lover?
<Terra> "... that's not my fault!"
<Theron`> Someone so dissconnected from life that she is only living physically, not emotionally.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs. "I don't know. I'm not in a hurry, strangely. I miss Ariel a lot, but right now, I'm content in here. You remember how I told you that I embraced my Death Star persona because it was necessary? Now he is no longer necessary, and I do not know how to be Darien Starr anymore."
<Terra> "... damn it! Now I don't know if I should try to be a parental figure or not!"
<Angela> "She misses you too... god why did I yell at her..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ariel might not be a mother to you, but she is a friend. I'm sure of that much.
<Theron`> Seems she is not the only one that may need a parental figure. I suspect that is what is wrong with most of our group of friends and allies.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll free Shiva, when I get the chance. And she can move onto the next life. 6* She closes her eyes.
<Terra> "... this isn't easy for me. I... I don't know how to fix things like this, and I'm not one to back away from problems..."
<Angela> "I... need to go apologise... whatever she is to me... she has been a friend."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Angela? A bit of advice?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at her
<Angela> "Yes...?"
<Terra> "... it's not so much that I need a parent... I... just need family again..."
* Angela looks back
<Kit> 6Chii nods slowly. 1"...That is why I think I should have. I don't wish to see something like... -that- again. I knew it wasn't her, but seeing Freyja trying to welcome me to darkness is... painful."
<Kit> <Chii> I could have spared that of you.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Learn to accept the role people want to give you, not the role you want from them. Just like you don't like roles forced upon you, they do not like roles you want to force on them.
<Kit> <Chii> ...But I was instead afraid of what you'd think of me if I did something like devouring a soul...
<Theron`> And you're trying to set yourself in the family of Erevis and Megumi. Who themselves aren't much of a family?
<Terra> "So, what? You think Ariel and her dragoons are going to welcome me?"
<Theron`> No more than they would accept me. People just don't up and accept you into their livess.
<Kit> 6Megumi reaches the yard of the house, but then stumbles and falls face first in the snow-covered garden outside, wheezing miserably, her lungs' condition catching up with her.
<DeathStar> 6* The front yard is quiet, but there's definitely noises in the back yard.
<Terra> "... no, they don't."
* Angela smiles softly. "Heh... one of the things... Sera... hated about... Angela." *she looks like she's making an effort to sort out who feels what* "Did your two sides hate each other with a fiery passion?"
<Theron`> We must live our lives as well as we can. And if by chance bonds are formed with others. Then we must embrace those into our lives. But never can we force ourselves into those lives.
<Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I've always hated myself. That never changed no matter who I am.
<Terra> "I'd like to think they've accepted me."
* Angela smiles, "At least I know where they underlying feeling of deep seated hate came from now."
<Kit> 6Megumi forces herself to her feet, sliding the front door open. She makes it another two feet and stumbles again, forcing herself up, taking labored breaths. She wants to reach the back door, but after opening it, her vision narrows and she takes one last breath that whistles from constriction and she collapses.
<Angela> "At times I miss being in your head DS."
<Theron`> Only they know that for sure. You are not allowed to make those assumptions.
<Terra> "... then maybe I should ask."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his head. "I'm always trapped in my own head. I can save no one from my past, because I am all that remains of my past."
<Terra> "See you around."
* Terra turns, and starts to Erevis'
* Angela smiles. "Know what gets me... when I look into it? One memory right now."
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi dramatically passes out before she can see what is back there.
<Kit> <Chii> ...I think refraining was the correct decision... I will believe you can get her back, as you believe I can.
* Theron` nods his head. "Tell Megumi, I will be here anytime she desires to seek Vengence."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *nods* We will.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What's that?
<Kit> <Chii> When it's said and done, I will pray, with Freyja, for Shiva. We will make sure no one can misuse your feelings again.
* Terra glances back. "... alright. Glad to hear it was you. I'd hate for some no-name to have beaten her."
* Terra walks on
<Angela> "Your memories about me... Seraphna... were pretty sketchy... but somewhere in there... I believe you remembered how I died."
<Angela> "Not first hand... just how."
* Theron` bows his head once again, then slips into the darkness.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tilts his head back. "Hm. I think the others killed you."
<Angela> "Wind killed me."
* Angela looks away, "And in retaliation, my sister killed him."
<Kit> 6* Chii clenches Katrina possessively, scowling out the window.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmm
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses at Chii clinching her, so she pats her thigh
<DeathStar> 6* Billy keeps laying on Marcus as another TV show comes on
<Kit> 6Megumi does, indeed, pass out before obtaining whomever was outside! Not being able to breath properly, she fainted from exhaustion and slight asphyxia.
<Angela> "God this is one fucked up universe."
* Angela smiles softly, wiping her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The other wasn't exactly sane.
<Kit> 6Chii nudges Katrina's neck softly with her head in response.
* Theron` is now known as Marcus`
<Angela> "Yeah."
* Marcus` snores slightly.
<Kit> <Lilith> "What is this, Biiriisan?" 6She waves a hand in front of the non-responsive Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake blinks once, eyeing Lilith
<Angela> "Funny thing about that, there was always a consistency about me... though that's just getting overly depressive again..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Y-You need something?
<DeathStar> <Billy> A little girl and her pet dog human that fight crime together. And are lovers.
<Kit> <Lilith> I asked a long while ago if you enjoyed anything besides work...
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi is mysteriously moved to a bedroom during her black out
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, right. Right. I like lots of things.
<Kit> 6Lilith gapes slightly at Billy. 1"...What?!"
* Terra arrives at Erevis' house before long
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yep.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You should probably speak with Ariel. Never go to sleep angry is a wise proverb.
<Kit> 6Lilith scrambles toward the holovid, taking up odd postures in front of it, trying to obscure the view, blushing.
<DeathStar> <Billy> .... what are you doing?
* Terra knocks on the door, seeing no Megumi around
<Kit> <Lilith> I... I.. would neve--" 6She looks over her shoulder at it.
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake studies Lilith oddly.
* Marcus` groans. "Be quiet." He throws a pillow at Lilith, then frowns, pillowless.
* Terra sighs, and waits, with no other idea how to proceed
<Kit> 6Lilith studies the holovid's program, before falling over, sacked with the pillow.
<Marcus`> ...give that back.
<Kit> 6Lilith wanders over, kneeling to present the pillow back to Marcus, seriously embarassed, worse still, now that the program is realized not to be about her and Raquel.
* Angela nods.
<Marcus`> ...pillow. *he smiles and grabs it, putting it over his face*
<Angela> "Thanks Darien..."
<Kit> 6Lilith saunter back to Drake, a lulled swing to her tail and her ears sulking. 1"...What things do you enjoy besides work, Durekusan?"
<Kit> 6Megumi tenses, then opens her eyes slowly, wincing in an ache.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hm. Well, what do YOU enjoy first, Lilith?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Anytime. If there is anything else you want to discuss with me, I'm here. 6* He nods, thinking that's all the things that has happened.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi is in bed.
<Angela> "I ummm..."
* Kit has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* It gets cold for Terra, what with it snowing
* Kit has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kit
<Kit> 6Megumi tenses, then opens her eyes slowly, wincing from an ache in her chest.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes?
<Kit> 6Lilith seems to ponder, then nods. 1"Calligraphy, perhaps. Dancing, though I am not as graceful as that fox woman... Writing. I suppose I enjoy things that express feelings, and I enjoy being around others feeling them."
<Kit> <Lilith> It does not always have to be anything in particular.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh? I enjoy reading. It's a hobby of mine. Perhaps I can read some of your writing.
<DeathStar> NRP: Lilith gains +5 relationship points with Drake
<Kit> 6Lilith staggers slightly. 1"Well... Much if what I had written in my life has turned to dust by now..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> You should start writing again!
<Kit> <Lilith> Though with a master like ojousama, I think I could, yes.
* Marcus` slowly moves the pillow aside to look at Billy. "...why are they talking?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Drake has a crush on Lilith, and Lilith is obliviously making it worse.
<Angela> "I'm a bit lost in the love department, at the moment."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're too young for love.
<Marcus`> Really? I thought Drake liked Angela/
<DeathStar> <Billy> Not since she banged you.
<Kit> 6Megumi sits up slowly, holding a hand to her breastbone, shivering.
<Marcus`> Oooh. My bad.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake peers at the two on the couch talking as if they are not there.
* Angela looks down. "I kinda... let someone take advantage of me and now I'm... well, freaked."
<Kit> 6Lilith stares, blushing, but says nothing. She has dogs' ears, and they're not even necessary from this distance.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at her. "Who?"
<Marcus`> Well Angela still thinks he's hot. *he shrugs, covering his face again*
<Angela> "...Marcus..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> You should pay them no mind. Really!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake tries to assure her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pinches the bridge of his nose, a classic manuever for him when he needs to fight back a headache
<Kit> 6Lilith just stares, smiling gently. She's capable of such things with many of her neutral memories destroyed and her human ones returned.
<Angela> "I... Sera had been with him before... back when she was a Dragoon... and I wasn't thinking straight... and..."
<Kit> <Lilith> I do not mind.
<Marcus`> Billy. *he mumbles from under the pillow*
<Kit> <Lilith> I am honored, if true it be, that you have any feelings for me, Durekusan.
<Angela> "Really... out of any guy I know... god..."
* Marcus` removes the pillot. "Billy are you poking me with a needle?"
<Marcus`> NRP: pillow
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... ... *seems to be trying to think of what to say*
<DeathStar> <Drake> Lets be friends! 6He blurts out to Lilith
<Angela> "Actually I think the guy who really did like me doesn't now..."
<Angela> "And Marcus doesn't want anything to really do with me..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Marcus is a player, Angela. I thought you knew that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's why Zephyr stayed away from him.
<DeathStar> <Billy> No
<Kit> 6Lilith inclines her head a bit. 1"Were we not friends before?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> I-I was unsure!
<Angela> "I didn't... he seemed kind..."
<Kit> 6Lilith nods. 1"I am willing."
* Marcus` tilts his head up, eyeing Billy. "...sure felt like it."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake relaxes. "What's your favorite color?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, that's my penis.
<Marcus`> .....very funny.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Mm, pink.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Purple.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Marcus is an idiot.
<Kit> 6Lilith smiles. 1"Purple is lovely as well, but I was always fond of sakura viewing."
* Marcus` glances at his chest, now. Billy scares him.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles at him. "Want to check to see if I'm lying?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Sakura viewing?
<DeathStar> 6* Terra continues to freeze.
<Angela> "I suppose..." *she looks down*
<Marcus`> ...I'll just live in fear.
<Kit> Lilith smiles. 1"Yes, the spring and autumn windows when sakura are blooming and falling."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Sorry. He's mentally challenged.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Ah, I imagine it's a beautiful sight!
<Kit> 6Megumi tries to work her breathing back into control, then crawls out of bed, lurching along.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wiggles back and forth
<Marcus`> You'd better stop. Or else I may just decide to beat you up.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wiggles harder.
<DeathStar> NRP: Mentally challenged = Darien
* Marcus` raises his hand up, threatening to flick her head. "I'm warning you."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grinds a bit.
<Angela> "...I just... I feel like I'm not worth it..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not worth it?
* Marcus` flicks her forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pulls out a knife and flicks Marcus' forehead with it
<Kit> <Lilith> In the old world it was... Back before there were so many people, and far more sakura blooms."
<Angela> "Worth keeping."
<Marcus`> AHH! *he shrieks like a girl and jumps up, throwing Billy up into the air, scrambling away*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then brings up his fist to come down on Angela's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lands upside down on the couch
<Marcus`> YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy tries to free her head.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I imagine it was.
* Marcus` stands up and reaches over, lifting her up to free her head.
* Terra sighs, heating her body up manually
* Angela blinks and looks at him confused.
<DeathStar> 6* The front door isn't locked, for those who are evil
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't like stupid talk that's depressing.
<Angela> "Alright..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy takes a deep gulp of air.
<Marcus`> Told you i'd beat you up.
<Kit> 6Lilith has seemingly become accustomed to ignoring the two's antics, like Drake seems to.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6* Swipes with her knife
* Terra knocks again, wondering whether to just let herself in
* Marcus` drops her.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's head gets stuck again
* Marcus` reaches out to get the knife.
<Kit> 6Megumi swerves out of the bedroom, moving deliriously for the sound of knocking.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy refuses to let go.
* Marcus` pinches her thumb, peeling it back.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stabs
<Kit> <Lilith> We should go sometime, and see them, if you have not. It is an experience that truly affects the soul.
* Angela looks down, trying to sort herself out.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Sounds good.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits there quietly, letting her
* Marcus` jumps back, then sighs and moves to lift her up again.
<Kit> 6Chii dozes off on Katrina again, though her vice-grip doesn't relinquish.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy takes a deep breath
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina quietly runs her hand along Chii's thigh as she sleeps.
<Kit> 6Lilith covers her ears pre-emptively.
<Marcus`> I can do this all day. *he notes in a sing-song tone.*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy screams.
<DeathStar> <Billy> MOMMAAAAAAAA!
* Marcus` flinches and drops her, glancing around quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's head gets stuck again
<Marcus`> Oh shit oh shit oh shit. She's not here is she?
<Kit> 6Lilith uncovers her ears, smiling at Drake.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<DeathStar> <Drake> *shakes his head, trying to get it free*
* Marcus` lifts Billy up. "You're lying, she's not here."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares balefully.
<Marcus`> Truce?
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi opens the door for Terra.
<Kit> 6Then falls over.
* Terra looks over, then tries to catch Megumi
<Terra> "Megumi?! Are you alright?!"
<DeathStar> <Billy> No.
* Angela opens her mouth as her watch beeps.
<Marcus`> Why?
<Angela> "...Oh..."
<Dias> 6A round nerf dart slams into the Marcus' head, sticking there.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I have minions
<Kit> 6Megumi coughs, her words having no real tone behind them, merely whispers of breath. 1"Can... not... b-brea...th.. well.."
* Marcus` pauses. "...did one of your minions just attack me?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yes.
<Marcus`> ...your minions are stupid.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Undeniablely.
* Terra carries Megumi back to bed. "You should rest..."
<Dias> 6Suddenly a volley of nerf darts, enough to black out the lamp, arc over Billy and come flying in at Marcus
<Terra> "I should've come back with you."
<Marcus`> ....*he lifts up Billy to get hit by the darts*
<Angela> "...Right... I have lunch with that boy I'm pretty sure doesn't like me anymore."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lets out an ear-shattering cry wail
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Who?
<Kit> <Megumi> I ...do... no...t wa...nt... to.. rest...
<Angela> "Drake."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Who?
<Kit> 6Megumi peers confusedly at the bedroom-- How'd she get there to begin with?
<Dias> 6The nerf darts rain down on them, hitting all who dare lie in it's path of nerfdom
<DeathStar> 6* Billy cries louder and louder
* Marcus` winces. "Hey, hey. Stop crying!"
<Angela> "Drake, he's new to our little collective, very skilled in supernatural arts."
<Angela> "Cute too... very cute."
<Terra> "But... you need it right now..."
<Kit> 6Lilith collapses into Drake, @_@-eyed from all the screaming.
<Terra> "At least... don't exert yourself."
<Kit> <Megumi> "E...re...vi...s.." 6She practicle whines, childish to a fault.
* Marcus` pauses and shoves the pillow into her mouth.
<Dias> 6The darts stop raining down. All is quiet
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's cries are muffled. Where is her mother?!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake winces, holding Lilith as if from a vampire attack. "We're doomed!"
<Angela> * Elsewhere, Cassandra and Setsuna are... of hell, we all know they're having sex. Okay? Lesbian jokes are worn.
* Marcus` laughs evilly. "You're minions are worthless. I am the winner."
<DeathStar> <Darien> He's probably an idiot, too. Avoid boys.
<Terra> "Isn't she here?"
* Angela blushes a little, looking up at him. "You're like an overprotective father, you know that?"
<Kit> <Lilith> I-itai...
<DeathStar> <Darien> As long as you act like a silly teen.
* Marcus` shifts Billy around rightside up, and pulls the pillow out of her mouth.
<Kit> 6Megumi doesn't answer, wincing with a frown as she struggles for short breaths.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Besides, I'm just reading lines from Warren. 6* He holds up a card that has the actual "He's probably an idiot, too. Avoid boys" line
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's shriek continues
* Angela blinks
<Marcus`> SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP!!!
<Kit> 6Lilith loses all ability to stand on her own.
<Terra> "... I'll look for her... just... don't push yourself, please."
<Angela> "Yet he'll kill me if I ever call him Dad."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake winces, sweat running down his face. "We're...going to...lose to this...mighty power..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, yes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have a card for any situation you bring me, really. 6* He holds up a deck of cards.
<Kit> <Megumi> I... wi...ll be... fine... soon..
* Marcus` pauses and shifts over, placing Billy on Drake's lap with Liilith, then he retreats to the kitchen.
* Dias slides up and begins taking pictures of Marcus manhandling Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stops crying.
<Dias> Curses...6He snaps his finger in defeat
<Angela> "Back to that, where the hell did that kid come from? I've WATCHED the only other woman to carry one of his kids die, the kid too."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ask the kid.
<Marcus`> I WIN AGAIN! *he yells from the kitchen*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up the card with that line on it
<Terra> "Right.. well, just recover while I'm looking for her?"
<Kit> 6Megumi looks away indignantly.
* Angela raises a brow.
<Angela> "...Am I pretty?"
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Durekusan... ...save... me..
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shuffles through the cards. He holds up a card with three dots on it.
<Kit> <Lilith> Tasukete...!
<DeathStar> <Drake> I-I think it's over... 6* Billy walks away.
<Angela> "...I have a counter to that, you know."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh?
<Angela> "Warren translator says, 'Of course you are Angie. Now make me a burger.'"
* Angela smiles.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Oh, wait, there's a reponse to that, too. Hmm. 'Don't be an idiot'.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up the card.
* Marcus` steps back out eating an apple.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake weakly recovers.
* Dias pulls up a Nerf Gun and shoots Drake in the forehead
<Terra> "I just don't want you hurting yourself while I find her. I won't be long... I'll come back and report if I can't" *goes off to look*
* Angela leans forward. "So you have talked to Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is hit in the head and falls onto his back.
<Marcus`> Bullseye!
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He holds up a card and read it. "I do not know what you are talking about."
* Marcus` watches as Drake would obviously have to pull Lilith over, tooo.
* Terra searches the house for sign of Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* No sign of Erevis in the house.
<DeathStar> 6* Maybe in Chad's room?
* Terra checks there
<Kit> 6Lilith falls on top of Drake, blinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances up, then faints from blood loss.
<Dias> 6Chad Winters stands there naked, pulling on a pair of boxers. He looks up at Terra. 1"Don't you know how to knock?!"
* Marcus` eyes Drake and Lilith. "...did he faint again?"
<Kit> <Lilith> I think so...
<Terra> "Ah, shit.." *backs out hurriedly* "... uhh... you haven't seen Erevis around, have you?"
<Marcus`> Touch him there. That'll wake him. *he points to Drake's penis*
<Kit> <Lilith> Why would that work?
<Dias> Ok. 6He fires a a nerf dart at his crotch
* Terra stands outside the doorway, staring at the opposite wall
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina continues to touch Chii in her sleep, to go along with this scene
<Dias> Do I look like I've seen her around? 6He pulls a pair of pants on
<Terra> "... I guess not."
* Terra sighs
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is hit. He winces, stands up, and runs off to the bathroom.
<Kit> 6Chii's breathing becomes irregular rather than sleeping soundly unmolested.
<Dias> Besides, she's naked in my bed. If you weren't staring at me you would've noticed.
<Dias> NRP: CHad
<Terra> "... Megumi's going to... WHAT?!"
<Kit> 6Lilith blinks, falling off of Drake as she apparently shoves her off to run away.
<Marcus`> Ouch. Rejection.
* Dias stares at the door, his neutral face impossible to tell if he's lieing or not.
<Dias> NRP: Chad...
<Dias> Dude, did he just get off by a dart to the balls?
<Marcus`> Dunno. You should go ask him.
* Terra can't even see Chad's face right now. "... you're dressed now?"
<Dias> Unless you want me to undress.
<Dias> NRP: FUCK!
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Chad`Winters
<Terra> "No, no, that's fine!"
<Chad`Winters> Good, because it'd be awkward since you hate me. Now go away.
<Kit> 6Megumi stumbles, holding onto the doorframe. 1"...Mi...ster... Winters... ...Why is ...she..?" 6Underlying anger in the whispers.
<Kit> 6She then faceplants in the hallway.
<Terra> "... am I really supposed to..." *sighs. Megumi is both out of bed, and heard all of that*
<Terra> "I guess I won't have to report it, after all."
* Marcus` shifts off to go put a shirt on, since he's just been in jogging pants all morning.
<Chad`Winters> Because she needed someone, obviously. 6He sighs as he pulls his shirt on
<Angela> "Darien... fine he told you to be silent or something... I should go..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands there wearing a plaid kilt and a green shirt.
<Terra> "..."
<Kit> 6Megumi's fingers claw into the floor. 1"...L-Lady ...Cher...yl... and you... t-told me... then.... y-you..." 6Her teeth grind.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright. You take care, Angela. And becareful of guys who want to take advantage of you
<Chad`Winters> You two mind keeping it down out there?
<Terra> "Chad, if this is some sick kind of joke..."
* Marcus` steps back out and stretches. "Hey Billy, i'm going to the store. You want anything?" he calls into her room.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy isn't there.
* Marcus` frowns and glances round, sniffing onc.
<Kit> 6Lilith wanders toward the bathroom, knocking lightly. 1"Durekusan, are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's bedroom
<Kit> <Lilith> Daijoubu desu ka?
* Angela smiles and stands, bowing before heading out. "See you soon Darien."
<Chad`Winters> Of course not, retards. 6He shakes his head and moves out of the room, having a coat on.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps out. "I'm good!"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake leans on the doorframe.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: err - not
<Chad`Winters> NRP: + it is
* Marcus` steps over to the bedroom, knocking as he glances inside. "Billy?"
<Kit> 6Megumi is silent a long time, confusion pounding her head.
<DeathStar> 6* He sees --- a naked Cassandra and Setsuna together
<Kit> <Megumi> ...It... it i...s not ...funny...
<Terra> "And you wonder why I don't like you?"
* Marcus` pauses, then tilts his head. "Nice."
<Chad`Winters> On the contrary, it's very funny. 6He smiles as he moves past them and into the living room
<Kit> <Lilith> Why did... you run off?
<Chad`Winters> Because you're irrational? 6He glances at Terra
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, nothing. 6* He waves his hand dismissively.
<Terra> "No, it's not that."
* Marcus` pulls out his camera phone and begins to take pictures.
* Terra waits until Chad's gone before making her next comment. "Id lite."
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure it is. I am the genius around here. 6He puts on a stocking cap and some gloves
<DeathStar> 6* Billy steps in front of the shots naked
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh Marcus, you bad boy. Tee-hee.
<Chad`Winters> 6The sound of a picture being taken is heard behind Marcus
* Angela steps into the HQ, fixing her coat, lookingat her watch, 5 minutes to spare.
<Marcus`> AH! *he flince, stumbling back, into Dias, it would seem*
<Marcus`> NRP: flinces
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shoves Marcus back towards towards Billy and begins taking more incriminating pictures
* Marcus` spins around, kicking the camera into the wall.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias watches it smash and frowns. He than grabs a disposable and takes more shots, backing up.
<Kit> 6Megumi struggles to her feet and limps toward Chad's room, to see for herself.
* Marcus` shifts to slam that down with his fist.
* Chad`Winters opens the door and steps outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's room is empty of Erevises'
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops onto a banister and hangs their precariously as he snaps more pictures
* Marcus` just walks off.
<Kit> <Megumi> ... 6She heads for the backyard again.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is dressed again
* Chad`Winters gives Billy a thumbs up. 1"Plan Leverage completed."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<Kit> <Lilith> If you say so, Durekusan.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares up
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, hey, Angela.
* Kit turns to Angela and bows. 1"Okaerinasai, Benettosan."
<Kit> NRP: Lilith
* Marcus` steps past Angela, grabbing his coat, he is obviously pissed off, he steps out.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So...Is that Cass and Sets I barely see in their room together. Naked. Together."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shuts the door and eyes Dias - dangerously.
* Angela smiles, she bows and hops out a sec, after Marcus, "Hey!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shudders.
* Marcus` pauses and glances back, shifting his coat on. "Hmm?"
<Kit> 6Megumi fights for a moment to open the backdoor, heaving.
<Angela> "What's wrong?"
<Marcus`> Nothing. You have 2 minutes. Better get to Drake. *he nods, walking off*
<Kit> 6Chii awakens, not noticing she's a little short of breath. She glances up toward Katrina, then the window. 1"...Is it warm in here?"
<Terra> "... idiot."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmm, just you, I'm afraid.
* Angela sighs and shrugs, heading back in. "Sorry about that..."
* Chad`Winters moves along the street to a car and he steps inside. Driving off.
<Angela> "Ready to go Drake?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Sure. Want to come with us, Lilith? 6* He asks Lilith.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tugs at his collar and he hops off the banister and moves back downstairs
<Kit> 6Chii squirms slightly and lets one arm off of Katrina to press the back of her hand to her forehead. 1"...S-strange..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It is.
<Kit> <Lilith> Huh...? Come?
<DeathStar> <Drake> To get lunch. My treat.
<Kit> 6Lilith blinks a few times, looking at the two. 1"...Well, I would need ojousama's permission.."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. Sure, ask her. We'll wait.
<Kit> 6Chii brings her other hand up to compare herself to Katrina.
* Angela smiles and crosses her arms, leaning against a wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets her.
<DeathStar> 6* The backdoor fights hard.
<Kit> <Chii> Maybe I should be elsewhere. I don't want to give you a fever..
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You don't have a fever.
<Kit> 6Megumi opens it, just has trouble doing so. @_@
* Terra goes to check on Megumi
<Kit> <Chii> ..I ..I d-don't?
<Kit> 6Lilith bows, then ambles off to Raquel's room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' training posts have been decimated and lay fallen into the snow. A cloaked figure stands there, breathing heavily, with their back to them, as they work on what remains of the posts.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's just your body is flushed from stimulation. 6* Katrina holds up her hand
<Angela> "So how are you Drake...?"
<Kit> 6Chii's face darkens, both in realization and embarassment. 1"..A-ah!"
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm good. You?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts her hands above her own head now as she lays there.
<Angela> "Worried, Scared, Splintered, and completely lost."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly creeps up into both of Drakes and Angela's preipheal vision
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. .... ... 6* He looks a bit unsure how to answer, expecting a courtesy answer of "fine".
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pssssst. 6He motion to Drake to lean over.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake blinks, turning to face Dias.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks up as Lilith enters. She smiles a little, but doesn't say anything.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions him to come closer.
<Terra> "Something should be done about Chad."
<Kit> 6Chii frowns and pouts up at Katrina, retracting her hands to her shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I won't do it again. 6* She apologizes.
<Kit> <Chii> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because you were asleep and I woke you up.
<Kit> <Lilith> Konnichiha, ojousama... A-ano.. um...
<Kit> <Chii> "So what?" 6Scowl. "...It feels nice and I've already slept most of a day..."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what is it?"
<Kit> <Lilith> I was invited out so ah....
* Terra watches the figure, for now
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina suddenly kisses Chii, harder than normal, as if she needs something from her to help her feel normal again.
* Angela sighs, closing her eyes.
<Kit> 6Lilith rubs her head.1"I am sure you could come, too.."
<Ariel> Raquel> "Invited...?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and hands Drake a card motioning him to read it
<Kit> 6Chii blinks as she's cut off from growling about anything else, her fingers jerking away from Katrina's stomach as she reels in surprise.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake takes the card.
<Kit> <Lilith> Yes, to lunch.
<Ariel> Raquel> "I... need to do something... But you can still go, Lilith. You... won't be too long, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens his eyes finally.
<Kit> <Lilith> Oh..." 6She shakes her head. "I do not think so. I am sure you can contact Durekusan or Benettosan if you need me." 6She bows deeply.
* Marcus` steps back into HQ, carrying a handful of groceries in some plastiic bags, he moves to step into the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina continues to kiss her, then breaks the kiss off finally, keeping her own eyes closed.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes it.
<Angela> * Jen blinks and smiles. "Hey..."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes Dias.
<Ariel> Raquel> *smiles slightly... a little happen, and saddened, at the same time* "...have fun."
<Ariel> NRP: Happen = happy
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods, giving him a thumbs up.
<Kit> 6Chii lulls after a few moments, then gasps for breath once Katrina breaks away, holding one hand to her chest. Between how she woke up and that, she feels ready to burst.
<Kit> <Lilith> Itekimasu! I will return!
* Angela looks over at Dias and Drake, raising an eyebrow.
<Kit> 6Lilith bows again, then exits the bedroom, closing it pollitely and moving back toward Drake and Angela.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sorry. 6* She apologizes and kisses Chii again, reaching up to remove the girl's clothing. What she intends to do, is clear. Sex sells ratings!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hands Angela the card. "He wants you to read this."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Drake then Angela and shrugs, turning to watch her.
* Marcus` shifts past the group in HQ, moving towards the back rooms.
* Angela takes it and reads.
<Kit> 6Chii wavers as she's kissed again, though raises her arms somewhat self-consciously, not much in the way of truly resisting if Katrina persists, but eyes Katrina in concern. 1"Why are you apologising..?"
* Marcus` knocks on Billy's door.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I want to feel something.
<DeathStar> 6* No answer.
* Angela blinks at it and blushes softly.
* Marcus` shifts away from the door, moving into the training room now.
* Angela looks up at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hey, Lilith, ready?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and motiokns for her to read it to him.
<Angela> "...You are a lovely person and you'll figure it out soon enough?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods than hands her a new card.
* Angela looks at it.
* Angela stares at Dias.
* Marcus` slides his coat off and begins to give the punching bag hell.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Angela than grabs the card looking at it. 1"Oh my bad, you'll want to save that for later tonight." 6He slides it back in his deck and hands her a new one.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks confused
* Angela stares down at it.
<Kit> <Chii> I... still don't understand why you're apologising...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses Chii's neck now.
<Kit> 6Chii places her hands on either side of Katrina's face.
<Angela> "Let's go out to lunch, I'll buy."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches behind herself and undoes her own bra strap, removing it.
<Kit> 6Chii tugs at her hands, lifting Katrina's face back before her's.
<Kit> <Chii> Katrina...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides two cards into Angela's butt pocket and pats her ass. 1"Save those for when the time's right." 6He moves off
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She stares into Chii's face.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Lets go.
<Kit> <Lilith> Mm, alright.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I know a great place.
* Chad`Winters pulls up outside of Darien's house and gets out.
* Marcus` slams his knee into the punching bag, hopping back then swinging out his foot to slam into it.
<Kit> 6Chii leans in and kisses her in return, trying to hold it for a while, but she eventually releases, having to finish her thought. 1"There are few things you need to apologise to me for... And I'm the kind that will surely make you know I feel that way."
<Kit> 6Megumi falls to her knees, but just stares, watching the posts take a beating, sincerely relieved, and now focusing on regaining her lungs of her own accord.
* Chad`Winters moves up the sidewalks and knocks on the front door.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure keeps hitting, their movement irratic, with no form or grace, like a brawler. Adn a lot of times, it sounds like what is breaking isn't posts.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares back, then sits up, rubbing her face.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks a few times and slowly moves up onto her elbows, peering intently at Katrina.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think I'm going to go out and get something to drink.
* Marcus` makes a face, sliding his coat on. He steps back into the main room, and just plops down on the couch.
<Kit> 6Chii chokes slightly, ears sulking. 1"...I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head. "It's not you, at all. It's me."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks along, leading them to the great place.
<Kit> <Chii> I interrupted at a bad time. But I didn't think you should do such things feeling resentful.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the door and Aya runs out.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I was wanting to have sex to try to forget my pain, and that's using you. And that's wrong. 6* She goes to grab her bra.
* Chad`Winters kneels down and grabs Aya, pickign her up in a hug. 1"How'd my little angel?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: 's
<DeathStar> <Aya> I defeated Ariel in combat!
<Kit> <Chii> ...I don't understand that either. That's the very reason I exist.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops onto the couch, his kilt flapping wildly before it settles. 1"What's up, dog?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't want to use you like that. 6* She puts her bra back on.
<Chad`Winters> Impressive. Were you good for Aunt Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sulks
<Kit> 6Chii sulks slightly. 1"...Then I've no use at all."
* Chad`Winters glances at Cheryl. 1"Are you lieing Aya?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shakes her head.
<Marcus`> Nothing really. *he notes in a bored tone* I had to break up with Angela last night. I didn't even know we were dating.
<Chad`Winters> If you're lieing, we can't goto the Zoo than.
<DeathStar> <Aya> All I did was challenge Ariel to a fight! 6* She flails.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I'm sorry. 6* She grabs her shirt.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's true. But Ariel's way too old for that kind of thing.
<Kit> 6Chii scowls, puffing her cheeks. During this, she seems to have found no need of pulling her dress back up.
<Kit> <Chii> S-stop apologising." 6She huffs.
* Chad`Winters looks back at Aya. 1"You know you can't pick fights with old people. It's not nice."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pulls her shirt on. She looks away.
<DeathStar> <Aya> She doesn't look old.
<Chad`Winters> You do have a point there. Ok, we can goto the Zoo. 6He looks over at Cheryl. 1"You and Ben ready?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Let me grab him. 6* She steps back in, then calls out. "And she's totally old."
<Kit> 6Chii is quiet for a few moments, then nods. 1"Now I need sake."
* Chad`Winters steps inside and glacnes around, Aya still in his arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina decides to just lay her face back on the pillow.
<DeathStar> <Aya> She old? 6* She asks Chad.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah. 6He nods.
<Kit> 6Chii reaches out and prods Katrina in the back.
<DeathStar> <Aya> How old?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at her.
* Marcus` glances at Dias. "What's with the dress?"
<Kit> <Chii> ...You won't use me, but we both want a drink and I don't have ...money.
<Kit> 6Chii ...stares.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's a kilt. And it's to pay homage to my Irish roots.
<Chad`Winters> So old no one really knows.
<Marcus`> Irish? You're Irish?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "I'll get you something." 6* She grabs her pants, trying to get it on. When it gives her trouble, she gets frustrated.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe. Ok, fine I really just wanted to wear one.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Wooooow.
<Kit> <Chii> Take your time... As you told me... I'm not going anywhere.
<Marcus`> ...so...you wanted to wear a dress...right.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs her head. "Do you want to come?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's a kilt, not a dress you idiot.
<Terra> "...Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* The figure ignores them.
<Kit> <Chii> I would be lying to say I didn't. ...I am unaccustomed to being a long, sorry if that's irritating.
<Kit> <Chii> If you need time alone, though, you're not Freyja... You don't need to be burdened with my dependency.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. I'm angry with myself. Here, let me fix your dress. 6* She kneels on the bed, working with shaking hands to put it back the way it should.
<Marcus`> Looks like a dress to me.
* Terra sighs
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl returns carrying Ben.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Is she old? 6* She points at Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> Where's Zephyr?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> In her room. Said something about wanting to be alone.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, I am not old.
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl than Aya. 1"Uhh...I'll go check with her. Which way?" 6He motions quickly
<DeathStar> 6* Drake arrives in a fancy sit down resturant, and gets them a table.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl points up the stairs. "Second door."
<DeathStar> <Aya> How old are you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like, totally 13.
* Chad`Winters quickly moves up the stairss.
<Chad`Winters> She's lieing! 6He chimes out as he moves up the stair
<DeathStar> <Aya> You're lying. 6* She eyes Cheryl, who looks 24.
<Kit> 6Megumi coughs once, then works up her words. 1"Erevis, I am irrevokably sorry. I... I thought it was merely my feelings tht I... needed to focus on, so I entirely blinded myself to considering yours... I was a child, in more ways than one. Please find it in your heart to understand, even if..."
<DeathStar> 6* The figure stops moving, turning to face Megumi, their face hidden in shadows.
<Kit> <Chii> Why are you angry with yourself...?
* Chad`Winters steps upto the second door and knocks on it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because I wanted sex to forget my own pain. And that's unfair to you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Come in.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're face looks like a dress to me.
<Kit> <Megumi> Even if I have really messed up things for good... I was not joking if... If I am harming you, I will not press any longer. It seems that even when you return my feelings, I do not understand them anyway...
* Chad`Winters opens the door and steps inside. 1"How's it going?"
<Marcus`> You're a fucking moron.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Seems fine to me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're face is a fucking moron.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She sighs, feeling to weak to move anymore.
<Kit> <Chii> If you feel that way, though... I... I guess I can understand your anger.
<Marcus`> Yeah i'm bored of this. *he stands and moves towards the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake grabs a menu, studying it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Where' ya goin? 6He flips backwards off the couch and onto his feet, facing Marcus
<Angela> * Jen blinks and smiles. "Hey..."
<Kit> 6Chii nods slowly. 1"Yes, that seems like something Freyja would say. She always insisted that you never take things from someone you care about, without the intention of returning something in place."
<Kit> <Chii> ...You said before that you weren't just using me, and that made me happy. I ...I understand.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She looks up at Chii
<Kit> 6Chii nods one more time, as if confirming it for herself.
<Marcus`> I really dunno.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hmmmmm. 6* He orders an expensive combo meal from the menu to the waitress.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks at Katrina. 1"...Wh-what? ...I know it sounds stupid, coming from me, or about Freyja, of all people, but she really wasn't always the way we are..."
<Kit> <Chii> She loved someone, truly, once.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's fine. 6* She is staring at her own hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just grunts.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...What is this place, Durekusan?
<Chad`Winters> Care to join us on a trip to the Zoo?
* Angela orders a pretty large meal too
<DeathStar> <Drake> It's a little fancy joint I know. Here. You pick what you want to eat off this menu
<DeathStar> 6* Drake shows her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No thank you.
<Chad`Winters> 6A Card slips out of Angela's pocket
<Chad`Winters> It'll be fun.
<Kit> 6Lilith looks to the menu, trying to decipher what might be on it. She only reads kanji and hiragana.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't want to, Mr. Winters. 6* She looks at him finally.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh... 6* Read it outloud to Lilith
<Chad`Winters> You sure? It might be a nice change of pace. Aya would enjoy it if you came.
<Kit> 6Megumi, finishing her monologue, touches her head to the porch. 1"I was truly stupid."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't want to. 6* She stresses, looking angry now. "Please don't make me do something I don't want to do."
<Kit> <Lilith> Oh... well, how about the um..." 6She points out something relatively small, but particularly rare and expensive.
<DeathStar> <Drake> A good choice. 6* He tells the waitress.
* Chad`Winters bites on his upper lip as he looks at Zephyr, he just nods his head. 1"Sorry Zephyr. I didn't mean to come off that way." 6He bows his head to her.
<Marcus`> Out obviously. *he opens the door and steps out*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr relaxes a bit. "I know. I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> <Figure> I accept your apology.
<DeathStar> 6* It turns back to the posts.
* Terra looks a little relieved there
<Chad`Winters> I just thought you could use some fun. I apologize again. 6He turns, moving to leave.
<Kit> 6Chii resumes her confident, unchecked self, grasping Katrina's wrist. 1"...Yes, Katrina, I would like to join you."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes back to her hands.
<Kit> <Chii> And I thank you for being genuine.
<Terra> "Mmm... someone said something that worried me."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Lets go then."
<Terra> "Am I... intruding on your lives?"
<DeathStar> 6* The figure smashes it's fist into a broken post.
<Kit> 6Megumi chokes.
<Chad`Winters> Have a good day Zeph. 6He shuts the door and moves back down stairs
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appraises Chad when he comes back down
<DeathStar> 6* Drake picks up the card, holding it out to Angela without reading
* Chad`Winters holds his hands up, showing them empty handed.
<Kit> 6Chii grins to Katrina. 1"How much can you drink?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A decent amount for my weight and gender.
<Kit> <Chii> Good because I can't.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leads them out of the bar; melancholy and depressed, her heart aching
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll go change. Wait here man.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias runs off to change.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You tried.
<DeathStar> *out to
<Kit> 6Chii loses her faux happiness as Katrina passes. She seems intent on devouring pieces of the negativity as she gains opportunities, but is wary of Katrina's readings.
<Terra> "... Erevis?"
<Chad`Winters> Someone has to I guess. 6He leans down and picks Aya up. 1"Ready?"
<Kit> <Megumi> M-Madame Terra... is this... the time?
<DeathStar> <Figure> You are Megumi Zhenmei's friend; that is between you two. 
<DeathStar> 6* The figure stumbles a bit, leaning on a broken post.
<Terra> "... if it's not, I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leads them to a bar, ordering the strongest drink they have - she doesn't want to play around tonight with drinking weaker drinks.
* Angela takes the card and smiles softly, putting it away
<DeathStar> <Drake> So... 6* He wonders what to say to the two ladies.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I have to go.
<Terra> "Perhaps I've been childish myself at times."
<Chad`Winters> Ok, now you're doing what she did.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I hate zoos.
<Chad`Winters> Well we can't bring the kids to a bar. That'd be irresonspible.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Only if they drink!
* Chad`Winters stares at Cheryl, that just rubs the bridge of his nose
<Kit> 6Chii stares blankly, reeling at the scent of the drink Katrina orders. 1"Do tell, what's that?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Madame Terra... I... I realize it is important to you but... right now...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Rocket Fuel. You should drink something softer. 6* She orders Chii a girly drink.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure tries to stand and slips to land on their side.
<Chad`Winters> Well where would you like to take the kids than, besides the bar.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... Hom--
* Terra nods, and hurries to the figure's side
<Terra> "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Standing back up, the figure strains, clearly overworked. "I will be fine." 6* They punch at a post.
<Terra> "... don't push yourself too hard, okay?"
<Kit> 6Megumi takes it slower, having only regained her lung capacity. 1"Erevis, you said you would not harm yourself unnecessarily."
<DeathStar> 6* They punch the post again and again
<DeathStar> 6* And when Megumi says that, they hit wrong again, a crack.
<DeathStar> <Figure> I suppose I am a liar. * The figure snaps, and turns to walk past them all.
<Angela> "So Drake..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yes?
<Kit> <Megumi> No, you have never lied to me.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, no.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure steps back inside.
<Angela> "I think we should work on our levels."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. The zoo. 6* She sighs.
<Terra> "..."
<Chad`Winters> I thought so. I'll drive.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why you?
<Chad`Winters> Do you even have a license?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh, yes.
<Chad`Winters> Than you can drive. 6He hands her his keys.
<Kit> 6Chii stares at a banana daiquiri, for whatever reason, having an actual banana in it. She takes it out and licks the slush off it, then nibbles on the end.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, our levels? 6* He shrugs. "I feel good the way we are."
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs loudly and turns, trying to hurry after the retreating figure.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws back the rocket fuel at once, almost blacking out from it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes walking back from his room. 1"I'm ready Marcus."
<Marcus`> *Marcus is long gone.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ahh...fuck.
<Marcus`> Say goodbye to your insides. *he notes to Katrina, sitting down at the bar*
<Kit> <Megumi> Erevis, you have never lied to me... Everyone makes mistakes and mine far outweigh any I could ever tell of you, please, just ...stop.
<Angela> "Is it something I've done?"
* Angela sips a soda.
<Kit> 6Chii regards Marcus, biting and swallowing the piece of banana.
<Kit> <Chii> Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure ignores her. "Please do not follow me, Megumi Zhenmei." 6She says in polite voice.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Eh. 6* She orders another one
<Marcus`> Hey Chii. *he smiles at her, ordering a beer*
<DeathStar> 6* Chery takes the keys, gets in the car, and plays with the controls. "Nice."
<Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* She sets Ben in his child's seat in the back.
<Kit> 6Megumi stops, at a loss. 1"...As you wish."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into her own bedroom and shuts it.
<Terra> "... give her some time alone, and maybe she'll feel better later.."
* Chad`Winters sets Aya in the back, locking her in. He sits in the passenger seat. 1"I'm glad it's upto your standards.
<Terra> "... I'd be more certain if I really knew her."
* Marcus` takes the beer and then takes a swig. "You two doing alright?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Great.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws back her drink.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ANother. 6She says in a raspy voice.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl revs the car and zooms off.
* Marcus` frowns. "Glad to hear that." He glances at Chii now.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Um, something you done? 6* He shrugs. "I just like the level of friendship we have now." 6* He looks up as the food arrives, and takes a form, eating.
<Kit> 6Lilith just feels awkward, peering between the two.
* Chad`Winters leans back in the seat, watching everything go by. 1"So you think I should've made her come with?"
<Kit> <Chii> I'm unsure if 'alright' is a way to put it, but we are healthy, for the moment.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She'd hate you.
<Kit> 6Chii returns to nibbling on the banana half.
<Chad`Winters> I suppose she would.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> From what I hear, you know, Megumi tried to do something she didn't want. You'd be very hypocritical then, wouldn't you?
<Marcus`> I imagine so. Well, i'm not one to crowd. So i'll be around if either of you need me. *he stands, shifting off to a table in the corner*
<DeathStar> 6* The sound of the shower can be heard from inside the bedroom.
* Angela takes a bit. "Are you sure?"
<Chad`Winters> Very true. 6He glances down at his datapad
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yep. This is some great food, isn't it?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws back her third rocket fuel, then lays her head on the counter.
<Chad`Winters> 6The Cards beckon her.
<Kit> <Lilith> Yes, it is quite exquisite, but I do not feel I belong with this conversation.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Tell me a bit more about the past. What was it like, compared to today?
* Marcus` sits in the corner at his table, all alone, drinking his beer.
<Kit> 6Megumi turns slowly, staring off into space. She feels like running away, but that wouldn't exactly accomplish much. She instead wanders into the kitchen and sits against the back door, holding her knees.
* Terra wanders in, feeling helpless for once, and hating it
<Angela> "Well, I was older."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake, having been talking to Lilith, looks positively confused at Angela
<Kit> 6Lilith feels even more out of place.
* Angela sighs and looks away.
<Kit> 6Chii finally takes a sip of the daiquiri itself, and seems to positively love it, but she rests her chin on the counter, peering at Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake just gets quiet now
<DeathStar> 6* He eats silently.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...It was simpler.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina appears drunk.
<Kit> <Lilith> Relationships tended to be more of a matter of circumstance or convenience. Whether that be positive or negative.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Not so very convoluted.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Really? 6* He looks interested.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drives them out into a forest.
<Kit> <Lilith> Many people merely married or coupled in order to improve their standing in life. It often had nothing to do with the way anyone actually felt for one another.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Cheryl. 1"Do you even know where we're going?"
* Marcus` stands now, moving over to the bar, he places the empty beer bottle on the bar beside Chii. "Don't let her drink too much." he warns Chii, shifting to leave.
<Kit> 6Lilith leans on the table, her hands interlocked to support her chin. 1"To see them develop like this is... enlightening in comparison."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. To see the animals in their native habitat.
<Kit> <Chii> ...How much is too much?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina orders a fourth drink
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, for many, love is very important.
<Chad`Winters> You're afraid of giraffe's aren't you.
* Marcus` points. "That's too much."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> As a Dragoon who was held in captivity, zoos offend me.
<Kit> 6Chii panicks slightly and insists the fourth does not arrive.
* Terra searches for words, but... this is out of her experience
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glares at Marcus.
* Marcus` frowns. "...maybe one more."
<DeathStar> 6* Time ticks away in the kitchen
<Chad`Winters> You, offeneded.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. It's a very sensitive subject.
* Chad`Winters glances back at Ben, captive in the child seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops the car and points. "Look, kids, bears."
<DeathStar> 6* The bears approach the car.
<Terra> "I... wish I knew what to do..."
<Kit> <Megumi> Nothing.
* Angela looks between the two.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yaaaay! Bear!
<Terra> "... I can't believe that there's nothing that can be done, but... I don't know what to do."
<Angela> "I should... probably go..."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake takes a bite, glancing at Angela. "What do you think, Angela? The old way, or the new way-- OH."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares awkwardly.
<Kit> <Lilith> Doushite? Why?
<Angela> "I'm getting in the way."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Of what?
<Kit> <Megumi> Every time... I try to fix anything... I break it...
<Kit> <Megumi> I just make it worse... every time...
<Chad`Winters> This'll be great for my paint.
<Terra> "Then... ask for help... I don't know..."
<DeathStar> 6* The bear climbs onto the car, causing itt o shake.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. You're rich.
<Chad`Winters> That's besides the point.
<Terra> "What did you do, anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's more important, Chad? Your paint, or your child's entertainment? 6* The bear pushes on the car, causing it to bounce.
<Kit> 6Chii keeps an eye on Katrina, sipping the daiquiri through her straw.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drinks the fourth one, then orders a fifth
* Marcus` frowns. "Good luck, Chii." he pats her shoulder and shifts off for the exit.
<Chad`Winters> Father would be proud of you right now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> God, you want me to throw you out to the bear?
<Terra> "I... don't have any advice beyond learning from your mistakes... and... don't beat yourself up for them. Everyone makes mistakes."
<Kit> 6Chii panicks even more and grabs the fifth, downing it herself.
<Chad`Winters> Infront of my child?
* Angela sighs
<Angela> "I'm not sure now..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Father would be proud of my ruthlessness, after all.
<Kit> <Megumi> Mine kill people... destroy happiness. Everyone does?
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina stares at Chii drinking pure 100% alcohol.
<Chad`Winters> And people say I'm the manipulator of words.
<Terra> "... well, not everyone even can kill people."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Girls are always better than boys.
<Terra> "But... yeah, destroying happiness isn't rare."
* Marcus` pauses, glancing behind him. "...you didn't just drink that?"
<Kit> <Chii> What else would I have do--urk!
<Chad`Winters> Lies.
<Kit> 6Chii clutches her mouth, leaping off the barstool frantically.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head. "If you don't like history talks..."
* Marcus` notes Chii should be passing out soon, he eyes his watch to time it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii! 6* She stands and trips.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays there as the room spins
<Angela> "I-It's something else..." *she cringes, looking troubled*
<Kit> 6Chii takes half a step and slams into the ground face faulting.
<Terra> "... you handle the responsibility well.."
<Marcus`> She lasted a hole .2 seconds longer than expected. *he notes, moving over to kneel beside Katrina* Where do you live?
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... 6* He sits there awkwardly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina mumbles an address.
* Marcus` then kneels and lifts Katrina up and over his shoulder, then moves to do the same to Chii, he then moves for the door, taking them home.
<DeathStar> <Bartender> HEY! MY MONEY!
<Chad`Winters> Ahhh my hood ornament. 6He sighs, a sad look on his face.
* Marcus` pauses. "Are you serious?"
<DeathStar> 6* The bear eatas it. Aya seems enthralled
* Angela closes her eyes and calms down visibly, she opens her eyes again. "Sorry... carry on..."
<DeathStar> <Bartender> Damn straight. *He cocks a shotgun*
<Chad`Winters> Great, there's goes my hood ornament. 6He motions
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh ... ... .. 6He seems unsure now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl honks the horn. "Watch what happens to a scared bear, Aya."
* Marcus` slides over and places Chii in a seat, leaning against he so she doesn't fall as he pulls out his wallet. "How much?"
<Kit> 6Lilith smiles softly. 1"The past is not so important."
<DeathStar> <Bartender> 45 credits.
<Kit> 6Chii lulls. She has an odd expression, as if still awake, but entirely boneless.
* Marcus` frowns. "...so much for those new shoes." He hands over a 50, it seems to be his last.
<DeathStar> <Bartender> Thanks for the tip. 6* He clearly isn't giving the 5 back
<DeathStar> 6* The bear freaks out at the honking and begins to whack the car.
<Chad`Winters> Uh. UH!
<Marcus`> ....yeah, fuck you too. *he lifts up Chii and then moves for the address given to him*
<Angela> "The past is unimportant."
<Angela> "It's the now that makes us what we are."
<DeathStar> <Drake> .... I like the past.
<Kit> <Lilith> Mm, I do not agree entirely.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yeah. The past is important. Learn from your mistakes, see where we came from, all that
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes, Chad?
* Marcus` mumbles as he walks, overall his day has been pretty bad.
<Kit> <Lilith> I was once Tomoe Gozen. I still am, but that life ended a long time ago.
<DeathStar> 6* The address leads Marcus back to ... HQ?
<Kit> <Lilith> I cannot go back to that life, but I am still alive. I can choose who to become. What I want to be, how I will live my life.
<Chad`Winters> Fine, I'll never ask you to come to the zoo with me. 6He slams his head against his dashboard with a sigh.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "...so that's the address for this place." He shakes his head and moves inside.
<Kit> 6Lilith peers upward. 1"Well, to a degree... I mean, as an inugami I have to live by my binds and seals as well, but you get the idea..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Awww, that's sweet, bro. 6* She cranks up and drives to a new location, pointing. "Look, Aya. Monkeys."
* Angela smiles
<Angela> "We're very similar Lil-chan."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You want to know what monkeys do when they're scared?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes!
<Kit> 6Lilith inclines her head. 1"You are a familiar spirit, as well?"
<Chad`Winters> I'll have my revenge Cheryl. And it will be glorious.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, and honks the horn. The monkeys throw shit at Chad's car.
<Angela> "I've changed from one person into a completely different one."
<DeathStar> 6* More time passes for Megumi and Terra.
* Marcus` shifts into his room, now that Cass' room is occupied and places Chii and Katrina on the bed, then he slides a small trashbin to each side. "Try not to puke everywhere." he says in a mumur, stepping back out of his room.
<Angela> "While still being that first person."
* Terra sighs
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays there
<DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles.
* Marcus` moves back into the main room and sits down on the couch, propping his legs up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, lets go find some more animals.
<Chad`Winters> Great, the perfect color to accent my interior...6He eyes Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii lies there as well, glazed in dizziness, her fingers twitching much like her tail and ears from time to time.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drives along.
<Kit> <Lilith> Ah! So deshou. I understand.
<DeathStar> 6* After a glorious romp through the forest, Cheryl pulls up outside Erevis' house. The tailgate falls off.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eats, listening
* Angela smiles again, taking a bite to eat. "Course... I've only travelled through time once."
* Chad`Winters glances back at Aya. 1"So did you have fun?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Lots! 6* She seems to have loved it.
<Kit> <Lilith> You have travelled through time itself? Amazing.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Fascinating.
<Chad`Winters> And you Ben? Oh that's right, you still drool instead of talk. 6He sneers at Cheryl.
<Kit> <Lilith> I have lived over a millenia and served more masters than I can count, but I have never retraced time itself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs a nyohohohho sound, her hand over her mouth. She suddenly brings her foot down on Chad's crotch - despite them sitting in seats.
<Angela> "Yes, I went to the past... killed my fiance, created a time rift that made it so Sera and ANgela could be two bodies, one soul..."
* Chad`Winters face grimaces as he forces a smile at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smiles back.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Huh
<Kit> <Lilith> Why would you kill your fiance?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is oblivious to the evil behind those smiles.
<Chad`Winters> Shame Ben didn't get more of his father in him.
<Kit> 6Chii sits up and hacks. 1"Sugoi, shimata..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers, not going for the same low blows, since that would hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rolls on her back, moaning a bi
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her car door and steps out
* Angela takes another bite. "He was trying to kill me."
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-what the hell -is- that st--urk!
* Chad`Winters let's out a huge gasp of breath and he grimaces again as he opens his door, watching it fall off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whoops!
<Kit> 6She rolls falling off the bed with a loud collapsing sound, noticing the trash can, and uses it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is oblivious to Chii's plight
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure it'll buff out. 6He winces slightly as he opens the back door and unhooks Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hops off and runs into the house.
* Marcus` whistles as he tosses a ball into the air, catching it and repeating the process.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Megumi on the floor and Terra standing there and feeling useless.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Ben.
<Kit> 6Megumi looks up slightly, almost starting to try and smile, but gives up, staring back to the floor.
<Chad`Winters> Remind me to never let you drive again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Awwww. But your daughter loved it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses him the keys.
* Terra just moves over to hug Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares, and hugs Megumi
* Chad`Winters catches the keys and tosses them back. 1"Keep it, a belated birthday gift."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the keys, then tosses them into the neighbor's yard.
<Kit> 6Megumi regards the two, though that seems to make her eyes water.
<Chad`Winters> I'll remember that next time.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the house. "I wonder if Erevis ever came back. Oh well. Have fun." 6* She walks off.
<Kit> 6Chii appears above the bedline again, though she looks like hell.
* Angela takes another bite of food.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is merrily unconscous
<Terra> "Whatever happens, you have people who care about you."
<Angela> "It was complicated."
<Chad`Winters> Let me call you a cab. 6He crosses his arms.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, no. I'm getting a head start before something bad happens
* Chad`Winters sighs. 1"See ya Cheryl."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl practically flees, waving goodbye.
<Angela> "William Spade was my fiance, his past self realised that if I was alive when the timelines converged that I... his Sera would cease to exist, so he aimed to kill me to take her place."
* Chad`Winters turns and moves inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad would find a group hug in the kitchen
<DeathStar> <Drake> complicated.
<Chad`Winters> Disturbing.
* Marcus` misses the ball and sighs as it smacks into his forehead. He stands and moves to knock on Billy's door again. "Billy, you here?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Come hug the kitty!
<Kit> <Lilith> Why would the two be any different? You were one and the same.
<Terra> "... what's wrong with this?"
<Chad`Winters> I'll pass. 6He turns, moving into the hallway. He knocks on Erevis door.
<DeathStar> 6* No response. The sound of the bedroom's personal shower can be heard.
* Chad`Winters checks the door knob.
<DeathStar> <Billy> YeeeEEeees. 6Comes her response from inside
<DeathStar> 6* It is unlocked. It does slide
<Angela> "We were very different."
<Angela> "However, we were brought up differently."
<Kit> 6Chii crawls back up onto the bed, across and clamps onto Katrina, groaning.
* Chad`Winters slides the door open and shuts it behind him. 1"Erevis."
<Marcus`> ...are you naked? *he calls out*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moans a bit more, leaning into Chii
<DeathStar> <Billy> You'll ahve to open it to find out!
<Angela> "Angela Bennet, or Serena Cran, was raised by Alexander Cran, where Seraphna was raised by Phaeton."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' clothes are discarded on the floor in a pile, and hidden a bit under the bed. The bathroom door is shut, too
<Kit> <Lilith> That does not make sense.
<Kit> <Lilith> That sounds like another realm you traversed, not time.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Why would the past be different from the present?
* Chad`Winters eyes the clothes as he moves across the room to the bathroom. He knocks on the door
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, you know what I mean
<Marcus`> ...you know that I won't do that.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Too baAAAD.
<Marcus`> I'm bored. Do you want to go do something after you shower?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' voice speaks. "I am busy. Please go away."
<Chad`Winters> Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm not showeeering!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *repeats* Go away.
<Marcus`> ...then why is the shower on?
<DeathStar> <Billy> .... the shower isn't...on..
<DeathStar> 6* Billy opens the door, staring at him. She sniffs his breath for alcohol, then reels. "You drunk."
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, are you ok.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine. Now go.
<Marcus`> I just thad one. *he glances around wondering why he heard a shower*
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, emanating utter nervousness at Katrina, but holds her tightly.
<Angela> "I think that by Phaeton raising Seraphna while raising her under a different identity, or self, he in essense made it that she was able to exist in the same space of time I did."
<Marcus`> NRP: had
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina remains asleep.
* Chad`Winters steps back, eyeing the clothes slightly hidden. He moves to it and kneels down, looking at it
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares like none of that is possible
<Kit> <Lilith> That did not answer anything...
<Kit> <Lilith> If you merely moved back through existing time, you would not be raised by anyone other than who you were raised by to begin with. If you were raised by someone else, you would cease immediately being you, because you would never have eventually become you to go back.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Truly.
* Chad`Winters sighs and stands up. He grabs two pairs of gloves and moves to the door, checking the door knob.
<DeathStar> 6* THIS door is locked.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, you're not ok.
<Angela> "I dunno... all I know is what's in my head now."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy says nothing
<Marcus`> So i'm bored. Let's do something.
<Kit> 6Lilith nods. 1"Like mine, your head must be erred."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you calling me a liar now? 6* Her tone drops to a perceivable threat level. "And you refuse to leave?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Perhaps you should have a brain doctor check you out.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Okay, if you wanted sex, you only had to ask
<Angela> "I don't think a brain doctor would have a solution for two split souls becming one and melding memories."
<Marcus`> But I don't want sex, or else I could go hump on the two unconcious women in my bed.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Drugs. 6He nods.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Really? Let me get my camera.
<Kit> <Lilith> Schizophrenic multiple personality disorder.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns and grabs a nice camera.
<Kit> <Lilith> In the last few centuries it has been diagnosed frequently.
<Marcus`> I said I don't want sex.
<DeathStar> <Billy> But I want to make a video. So do it for me? 6* She looks cute.
<Marcus`> No. Get your minion to do it.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy opts to go back to playing with her dolls, then
<Chad`Winters> No I'm not. You've never lied to me before Erevis. But when I see a decent amount of blood on your gloves, I am going to be concerned.
<Marcus`> Why can't we do something that doesn't involve sex?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you will not leave my room, I will make you leave.
<Chad`Winters> Let me tend to your wounds first than I will leave.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Angela> "It's not a disorder..."
* Angela rubs her head.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Drugs might still help.
<Chad`Winters> Because the pain is a reminder for something or because you refuse to accept my help.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Because anything else doesn't sell.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't bother responding now.
<Marcus`> That how you got the fancy camera?
<DeathStar> <Billy> I sold my young, supple body have to pedophiles.
<DeathStar> *off to
<Marcus`> ...glad to hear you saved yourself for me.
<DeathStar> <Billy> A girl can't wait forever.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, have I intentionally caused you pain?
<Marcus`> It's only been like 2 years stops.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: ever
<Kit> <Lilith> Well, I never said the doctor would be fundamentally correct...
<Marcus`> NRP: tops
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm an impatient girl.
<Kit> <Lilith> But they would have an answer.
<Marcus`> Clearly. When all you had to do was turn into that 18-ish lookingn girl and I woulda been good.
<DeathStar> <Billy> TOo bad. They liked me how I am.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will not ask again, Chad Winters.
<Marcus`> Well they are pedophiles and will be burning in hell. I'm a pure soul.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Leave.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *snorts*
<Marcus`> More pure than they are!
<DeathStar> <Billy> Sure, sure.
<Marcus`> Oh hush. I'm a good person and you know it. It's why we don't mesh. Good and Evil..like oil and wateer.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're evil. It's why I want to bang you.
<Marcus`> And how am I evil?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Look into your soul.
<Marcus`> I have darkness inside of me. But that was from a heroic act.
<Chad`Winters> If your so intent on living like this, than maybe you should ask yourself if this was what Xan would really want for you. 6He turns, walking away.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Sure, sure.
* Angela sighs and looks down at her food
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers as Chad exits Erevis' room
<Marcus`> Oh come'on, how am I evil?
<DeathStar> <Billy> *whistles, looking at her nails*
<Marcus`> You're wrong. *he notes*
<Marcus`> Wrrooooooong.
<Kit> 6Lilith finishes her tiny portion, content.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy just waves her hand
<Marcus`> Oh don't act like you don't care.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't.
* Chad`Winters runs both his hands through his hair as he looks up at the cieling.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Miss. Erevis okay?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers away from Megumi now
<Marcus`> You should.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't.
<Chad`Winters> No, no she's not.
<DeathStar> <Aya> She sick? 6* She looks concerned.
* Marcus` frowns and crosses his arms. "Wanna fight?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Nope.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You cry when I cut you
<Terra> "... how bad is it?"
* Angela finishes hers.
<Angela> "Sorry, I have a bad habit of wierding people out."
<Marcus`> Well the whole point to fighting is using your fists.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hm, I'm okay. 6* He eyes the bill when it arrives.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Sure. A five year old getting punched around by an adult.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy rolls her eyes.
<Kit> 6Megumi, hardly in a state of mind to focus on strengthening her longs, begins to breath shorter, lulled into sleep by smaller amount of oxygen and dark thoughts.
<Marcus`> I think it'd be a pretty funny scene whenever you moms finally finished up and stumbled across it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Whatever. They're totally NPCs.
<Marcus`> NPCs?
<Terra> "Megumi..."
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Is it bad, Durekusan?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yep.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes it. "A little steep."
<Marcus`> Non...personable...chicks?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Something like that.
* Marcus` shrugs. "Wanna go find Dias and punch him in the balls?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> No
<Kit> 6Lilith shifts uneasily and looks to the ground. 1"Gomenasai... I cannot help."
* Marcus` sighs. "Well i'm all out of ideas."
<DeathStar> <Drake> It's okay. 6* He hands it over to Angela.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, it was fun
* Chad`Winters moves off to his bed and he lays down, staring up at the cieling as he thinks.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shuts her door.
* Marcus` frowns. "How am I supposed to treat you like an equal if you wont hang out with me?"
* Angela takes it and lays her card on it. aying without even thinking. "It's fine."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're too immature for me.
<Kit> 6Lilith rises, bowing deeply to Angela.
<Marcus`> ...now that's a load of shit. I'm pretending to be immature to appeal to your better nature.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Too bad!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pads away from her door
<Marcus`> ...*he opens her door* Entertain me damniit.
<Terra> "Megumi, she'll be fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns to face him, and begins to remove her skirt
<Kit> 6Megumi sleeps!
<Marcus`> ...*he crosses his arms* That's not going to run me off.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to remove her underwear.
* Terra seems relieved once she sees that Megumi's just sleeping
<Kit> <Lilith> Arigatou, Benettosan. If we are being paid for our work, I have not received any... perhaps because I am a tool of ojousama, not necessarily another member...
<Marcus`> I already have pictures, remembeer? Nothing new to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands there nude, then leaps into Marcus' arms.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm sure if you ask Kat, she'll put you on the payroll.
* Marcus` twitches. "...ok you weren't supposed to do that."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy snuggles Marcus.
<Marcus`> How long do you think can stand here? *he asks, already glancing at his watch&
<DeathStar> 6* Billy just lays in MArcus' arms, since he hasn't dropped her.
<Marcus`> NRP: I can stand here.*
<Kit> <Lilith> Maybe I will speak with her, but I do not exist, after all, it may be difficult.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy seems fine to find out
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hands Chad - Warren the lion
<Marcus`> Fine. You win. *he shifts over to put her on her bed, turning to walk out*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy gets dressed.
<Kit> <Lilith> If you do not mind, though..." 6She hoves a few inches up off the ground. 1"I really need to get back to ojousama... Sudeshimasu. Please excuse me."
* Marcus` glances back at her. "Do you even like me?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> *glances at Marcus* I don't like anyone. 6* She does the evil sign, an inverted peace sign.
<Marcus`> ...have you been watching rap videos?
* Chad`Winters eyes Warren the Lion.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yo.
<Kit> 6Lilith bows again. 1"Thank you for inviting me, you two."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren the Lion frowns at Chad - his enemy.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head. "No problem."
* Marcus` chuckles. "Can I start calling you Lil' B?"
<Angela> "You're welcome, Lil-Chan."
<DeathStar> <Billy> No. You can call me Andrea.
<Marcus`> Nope.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then I don't like you.
<Marcus`> Is Andrea really your name? Or the name of the child you represent?
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't have a name.
<Marcus`> Then what does it matter what I call you?
<DeathStar> <Billy> What does it matter if I like you or not? 6* She responds, then goes back to playing with her dolls
<Marcus`> I'm just curious.
* Kit is now known as Kitzzzune
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shrugs. "You figure it out, then, on your own, if you're so smart." 6* She pulls down her eyelid and sticks out her tongue
* Chad`Winters sits up, and sets Warren the Lion down on the bed. 1"Aya, can you do me a favor?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Whaaat?
<Chad`Winters> Can you stay in the room and watch Warren for me?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods. "Kay."
* Chad`Winters stands up and moves out of the room and over to Erevis, sliding the door open
* Marcus` frowns. "You're a jerkface."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I won't be if you're not a loser.
<Marcus`> Ooooh. That was pretty good. But i'm not a loser. Losers don't get laid, and I can clearly do that. *he winks at her*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy frowns and turns back to her coloring book
<Angela> "Drake... can we talk for a bit?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... Uh, about?
<Marcus`> I win. *he notes and walks away*
<DeathStar> 6* She's still in the shower, through the water seems to no longer be running
* Chad`Winters shuts the sliding door behind him. He moves back over to the shower and knocks on the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy lays her face down in coloring book
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please go away.
* Marcus` peers his head back in the doorway. "Are you crying?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy doesn't respond.
<Chad`Winters> Are you done wallowing?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tone sharpens. "Go away, Chad Winters."
<Marcus`> ...*he walks over and kneels down beside her* I'm sorry.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns her head to peer at Marcus, having no tears on her face. "You suck at this whole winning thing."
<Chad`Winters> No, I'm concerned about you and your health Erevis.
<Angela> "Something personal."
<Marcus`> ....well...I...damnnit. *he stands up* I thought you were crying.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens the door finally, peering at Chad Winters. Her face is bruised, and her hands are wrapped up in thick bandages. Her legs look a little bruised as well. She wears her large shirt now. "I am fine. Exit my room."
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't cry.
* Chad`Winters studies Erevis. 1"Was it worth it?" 6He motions to her body.
<Marcus`> You probably do when you want to get your way. Hell, I can't say no to a crying girl.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I lost my battle. If you do not leave my room, I shall make you. And that, I will not lose.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *puts on fake tears* MAke sweet love to me?
<Chad`Winters> That's now what I asked you Erevis. Was putting your body through all that worth it?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly hauls off and punches Chad in the jaw, if he opts to not move.
* Marcus` shrugs. "Alright."
<DeathStar> <Billy> I-what?
<Marcus`> If you want it so much, who am I to refuse?
* Chad`Winters head snaps back, causing him to stumble backwards, his falls down to a knee, using one hand to stop himself, his other hand grabbing his jaw.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's eyes widen and she sits up. "It's illegal"
<Marcus`> I've done plenty of illegal things.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs her hand in obvious pain, but she puts it away. "What I do, or do not, with my own body, is not your concern. Now go."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy slides back a bit. "But I'm a kid."
* Chad`Winters rotates his jaw around, he eyes his hand for blood. 1"As someone I consider my friend, it does matter to me.
<Marcus`> Yeah, but you're mature for your age.
<DeathStar> <Billy> .... 6* She edges back more.
* Marcus` steps forward. "So come'on then. Let's get to it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not want your concern.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I-I--6* She looks panicked now, looking for help.
* Chad`Winters pushes himself up. 1"Well you got it Erevis."
* Marcus` kneels down, reaching out to place his hands on her shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Fine. I accept your concern. Now go.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eeps loudly.
<Marcus`> ...Billy. *he says in a hushed voice*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy closes her eeys.
<Marcus`> I win. *he says with a wide smile, standing and moving to leave*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy glares after him
<Chad`Winters> Not until you let me take care of your wounds.
* Marcus` glances back and places his thumb on on his nose, wiggling his fingers.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have dealt with my own wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks angry now, and turns her back.
* Marcus` steps out, closing the door behind him, a smile on his face as he moves to go sit on the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wipes at her eyes. "Stupid jerk."
* Chad`Winters rubs the back of his head. 1"You most likely broke some knuckles."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I will deal with my knuckles.
<Chad`Winters> Let me set them. 6He steps forward.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. 6* She steps back.
<Chad`Winters> Drop the pride.
* Marcus` plops down on the couch now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *looks angry now* You will not touch me.
<DeathStar> <Drake> What sort of personal?
* Chad`Winters takes a deep breath. 1"How long are you going to be like this?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Long after my wounds are dealt with by myself.
<Chad`Winters> Why?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because this is who I am.
<Chad`Winters> You'll let your pride control you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just tilts her head to the side.
<Chad`Winters> You refuse to let anyone help you, because of your pride Erevis, no matter how foolish it is.
<Angela> "You and me personal."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She stares at Chad.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh. Okay. 6* He rubs the back of his head.
<Chad`Winters> You'd let a foolish emotion like Pride, control you than?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If it means I can deal with my own body, yes.
* Marcus` calls out. "Biillllly!!! Make me a sandwich!"
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
* Angela gets up and collects her card, walking out, expecting him to follow.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake ... follows?
* Marcus` frowns, laying back fully.
* Chad`Winters rubs this face. 1"Look, whatever's going on between you and Megumi I don't care about. But to shut other people out because of her actions is not right Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You only feel shut out because I refuse to let you treat my body. Perhaps you should simply accept that will not be happening.
* Angela turns to face him once they're alone. "You... changed over the last couple weeks."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Have I? 6He rubs his chin.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peddles by on a kid's big wheel.
<Chad`Winters> 6Infront of Marcus
<Marcus`> ...is that Billy's?
<Chad`Winters> I'm paranoid at times.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will deal with my own well being, Chad Winters. Our relationship will not be impacted. Now, if you will excuse me, I wish to be - alone.
<Angela> "A couple weeks back... you were eager to talk more, to hang out... lately you've been avoiding looking at me."
<DeathStar> <Drake> We just hung out, Angela....
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias locks the front wheel up and skids sideways to face Marcus. 1"Maybe, or I won it fair and square from the neighbor kid. I dont' remember."
<Marcus`> You probably stole. Some hero you turned out to be.
<Marcus`> NRP: stole iit
* Angela smiles softly. "I was just concerned I scared you off."
<Chad`Winters> If you want to talk about it Erevis or someone to spar with who won't...6He motions to her face. 1"I'll be there."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Because I --- went out to lunch with you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will keep that in mind.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What I do know though, is that you can whip some wicked shitties on a polished floor.
<Marcus`> Shitties?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let me demonstrate. 6He hits the pedals hard 'burning' out and he disappears down the hallway.
* Marcus` just watches.
<Chad`Winters> I'll bring supper to you than. 6He studies her one last time than nods to her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to eat.
<Chad`Winters> You're getting thinner. You need to eat.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will eat when I feel it necessary.
<Chad`Winters> Are you questioning my knowledge on the human body?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I know my own body's limitations better than anyone.
<Chad`Winters> And I know a body that's burning up more than calories than it's consuming.
<Chad`Winters> If you want to heal efficiently you'll need to consume the proper amount of food.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will keep that in mind.
* Chad`Winters turns and slides the door shut behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits, then grabs her ribs, falling to her knees.
<DeathStar> 6* She goes back to getting more bandages for her ribcage.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly comes flying back into the room, he jerks the front wheel sideways and leans the opposite way of the turn, the big wheel begins doing 360's until it slams sidways into a table, causing a vase to knock over and shatter.
<Marcus`> ...I'm telling.
* Angela sighs, "Well yes... I know I'm a bit messed up and yourbehavior was worrying me."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Marcus, a shocked/suprised look on his face. It suddenly changes to a smiling one. 1"Dude, that was frackin sweet. How many times did I spin around?"
* Marcus` shrugs. "At least 5."
<DeathStar> <Drake> *shrugs* Things are cool.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Kick ass. Dude, set up a ramp, I wanna catch some air time.
<Marcus`> A ramp? With...what?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know, you figure it out. I'm gonna go get some speed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peels out and heads back down the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* Terra remains in the kitchen, like an ever watchful statue
<Marcus`> ...Alright. *he pauses and kicks the two legs on the left side of the coffee table out. Then twists it so the makeshift ramp will be directed so that Dias can get some air.*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> IS IT READY?!
<Marcus`> Yeah. *he calls out, stepping back, then nudges it with his feet so it's slightly aiming towards the front door.*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake opens the door to the HQ.
<Chad`Winters> 6The sound of plastic squeeling can be heard than Dias can be seen sliding around a turn for the ramp. He hits it on the big wheel and goes flying through the air, right towards the front door and Drake
* Marcus` pulls up a camera, taking pictures.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks surprised, and is suddenly rammed by a big wheel, knocking him backwards onto the ground, where he bounces once.
* Marcus` winces. "Ouch." he glances left and then right, slowly shifting away.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias goes flying, the big wheel flying towards Angela as soars into a snowbank, getting stuck head first.
* Angela rushes over in surprise and checks on Drake.
<Angela> "Hey you okay???"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake bleeds from the face.
<Chad`Winters> 6The big wheel hits her since she never dodged
<Angela> "Oh god..."
* Angela lifts him up gently and dials an ambulance.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias wiggles his legs in the air as he tries to free himself from the snowbank
Session Close: Sat Oct 27 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Sat Oct 27 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
* Marcus` sneaks out the back door, moving around to watch the scene from the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake keeps bleeding
* Angela tears her shirt and starts to make a makeshift banadage for Drake.
<Angela> "H-Hey hold on there..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> He's dead. Well, let me take this soul
<Chad`Winters> 6Muffled screams for help emminate from the snowpile where Dias is half buried
<DeathStar> 6* Billy reaches toward Drake
<Marcus`> Billy. *he steps forward now, eyeing her*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy touches Drake
<Marcus`> Billy!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy dusts her hands and walks off, whistling
* Marcus` glances down and checks Drake's pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake grabs his hand seconds before. He opens his eyes
<DeathStar> <Drake> What hit me?
<Marcus`> A moron.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *coughs in pain*
<Marcus`> Looks. Angela is so worried about you that she's in shock. *he whistles he shifts over and kicks the stuck Dias in the ass*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias's legs pause and begin to move around as if searching for whoever kicked him
* Angela hugs drake tight in relief.
* Marcus` takes step back.
<Marcus`> Hey, free kicks. Who wants to give it a try?
* Terra is now known as Alicia
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sits up, wiping his face away.
* Marcus` freaks out at the faceless Drake.
* Angela continues to hug Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares, then freaks out, yanking himself away. "H-Hey, not so close!"
* Marcus` pauses, it was just Drake looking ugly. he then moves over and yanks Dias out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias plops out and he lands face first on the sidewalk.
* Marcus` kneels down and ties Dias' laces together, then lifts him up. "Rise and shine, lucy."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias seems to be staring at star's or birds, definetly something. 1"Dude, how sweet was it?
<Marcus`> You made Drake bleed.
<Chad`Winters> From where?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Angela blushes, "S-Sorry..."
<Marcus`> The face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh...6He moves to check on him and slams face first into the sidewalk again
* Marcus` smiles and lifts Dias back up. "Jesus man, learn to walk."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stops the bleeding finally.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias wipes his head and moves to step again, falling face first again
<Angela> "A-Are you alright?"
* Marcus` laughs, lifting Dias up. "What the hell's wrong with you?"
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yeah. I think I'll go lay down. 6* Drake stands up and hobbles away.
* Terra heads out after Erevis
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, I'm fine Angela. Thanks for asking tho. 6He looks at Marcus. 1"I don't konw, every time I take a step forward I trip.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in her room
<Terra> 6* Or... not
<Marcus`> Really? Maybe you hit your head and are retarded for real?
* Terra is now known as Alicia
* Angela glares at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh god...Let me take a step backwards quick. 6He steps back and falls, landing on his ass.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh god. Oh God...
* Marcus` does his best to keep a strait face, helping him up. "This is why you should never ride a big wheel without a license."
* Angela sighs and helps Dias up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is helped and he moves to take a step, falling forward again
<Marcus`> Hey, leave my man alone. Go back to yours. *he helps Dias up again*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What's the point in living if I can't walk anymore! 6He throws his hands up in the air.
* Marcus` slaps Dias and points down to his shoes.
<Marcus`> Angela tied your laces together.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his face and eyes his shoes. 1"...Well look at that. 6He squats down and begins untieing them.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<Dias> She did?
<Marcus`> Yep. I think she hates youo.
* Angela eyes Marcus.
<Angela> "I did not."
<Dias> Than I'll just put itching powder in her bra and panties
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "That'd be kinda funny." He eyes Angela, shrugging innocently.
* Dias stands up and points at Angela. 1"I shall have my revenge!" 6He turns and runs off back inside
* Marcus` stands there with a smile on his face.
<Marcus`> So. Drake. How was lunch? *he glances at him*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake had left long ago
* Marcus` pauses. "When did he sneak off?"
<DeathStar> 6* A 100 dollar credit flies by out of Marcus' reach
* Marcus` pauses and glances up, jumping to catch it.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus' feet don't work properly and he trips
* Marcus` frowns. "...what the hell?" he glances down at his feet.
<DeathStar> 6* His shoelaces are tied together
<Marcus`> ...Angela, this isn't very funny. *he unties his laces*
<Angela> ...
<Angela> "You know full well I'm not that good."
* Marcus` dusts himself off as he stands. "I dunno. You could be a ninja and I would not even know about.
<Marcus`> NRP: about it.
<Angela> "You're being mean..."
<Marcus`> ...i'm being playful. *he says with a frown*
* Marcus` shivers slightly and moves inside, out of the cold.
* Angela pouts. "So was I."
* Angela follows him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains in her room, never coming out
<Marcus`> So how was the triple date? *he plops down on the couch*
* Angela takes a seat and sighs, "I weirded them out."
<Marcus`> Fancy that. *he smirks* You talked in third person again, didn't you?
<Angela> "No... that's wat weirded them I think,:
<Marcus`> Eh?
<Angela> "I tried to explain how my two halves got to be two halves."
<Angela> "Besides... I took some advice today."
* Angela smiles softly.
<Marcus`> Ohhhh. Did you explain that you created a different reality whenever you went into the past?
* Marcus` pauses. "Advice?" he wonders where that came from.
* DeathStar is now known as DS[Gone]
<Angela> "I went to see Darien."
<Marcus`> Oh? He never liked me much. *he notes, balancing a pencil on his nose*
<Angela> "Only guy I know with two people in his head."
<Angela> "Well, that have them both active."
<Marcus`> Right, right. And how'd that go?
<Angela> "I have to chose who to be. Angela or Seraphna... I have to keep a name legally, but the personality..."
<Marcus`> And why can't you be Serangela?
<Angela> "I dislike that name."
<Marcus`> ...you know what I mean.
<Angela> "Well... becuase if I pick one to doiminate then it'll be easier."
<Marcus`> I see. SO who'll it be?
* Angela sits back, "Seraphna."
* Marcus` arches a brow. "You serious?"
<Angela> "Why not?"
<Marcus`> You were Angela...Serena first. Seraphna only came to be part of you recently, and her life was produced because of you going back to the past.
<Angela> "My mistake."
<Marcus`> Right, so that means you're going to shove Angela into the depths of yourself and become Seraphna?
<Angela> "If I were to stay Angela, what would you say?"
<Marcus`> I would ask why you would shove Seraphna into the depths of yourself and become just Angela.
<Angela> "More or less I'm putting one of the two in the drivers seat."
<Angela> "Sera makes the better descisions."
<Marcus`> Ah. That's what it is, then.
<Angela> "Mmm?"
* Marcus` frowns. "Most of Angela's life, she made mistakes. Be it that she was mislead by Spade or Cran or what have you. So you think Sera will be different, she wont fall prey to them. But if that's the case, why was she bonded to the Dark One Spade? Obviously she didn't make a good decision there.
<Angela> "I died. The Dark One that took my soul used my energy to bond with Spade."
<Angela> "I was ambushed, Marcus."
* Marcus` frowns even more, sitting back some. "....sorry."
* Angela sighs softly and sits back as well. "Don't be, it wasn't your fault."
<Marcus`> Yeah, it kinda was. If only I had gotten a little closer to her, actually convinced her to form the bond with me...then I coulda helped. I could came when she needed me.
<Angela> "Maybe..."
<Angela> "It was equally my fault for telling Angela to break the bond."
* Marcus` nods after a moment. "Well, anyway. How's Darien? Misses me, doesn't he?
<Angela> "Oh he cries every day without Marcus to be there for him... he does still think you're a moron."
<Marcus`> He's probably right. *he waves a hand* I never claim to be anything more though.
* Angela sighs and rests her head on his shoulder.
<Angela> "Shoulda let you pilot me..."
<Marcus`> You had your reasons. Besides, I'm a terrible pilot. I woulda flew us into a wall.
<Marcus`> Then we both woulda died and I'm personally not ready to do that.
* Angela kisses his cheek
* Marcus` pauses, glancing at her. "What was that for?"
<Angela> "I wanted to do it."
<Marcus`> I see. Better not let Drake or Billy see that.
<Angela> "Why?"
<Marcus`> Drake might get Jealouos. Billy might get sad...er she doesn't get sad, nevermind.
<Angela> "Why would he get jealous?"
<Marcus`> Doesn't he like you and stuff?
<Angela> "Dunno..."
<Marcus`> Hmmm. He's probably gay or something. *he notes after a moments thought*
<Angela> "Dunno..."
* Marcus` smiles. "Well you're just a barrel of sunshine aren't you?"
* Angela smiles weakly, 'I'm trying."
* Marcus` frowns slightly. "Things may be a bit trying now. But it'll get better. I promise."
* Angela closes her eyes and rests her head on his shoulder.
<Marcus`> -End-

* #taw is being logged
<DeathStar> 6* 1 day after last mini. What---ever day this may be at this point. 11.30?
<Kit> <Chii> ...Mou, whatever the hell that stuff is... it sucks...
<Kit> 6* Chii grabs her head with a glare.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sleeps soundly.
<Kit> <Chii> Usou! You can still sleep!?
<DeathStar> 6* Apparantly
<Kit> 6* Lilith tends to the kitchen, making breakfast and tea.
* Angela is in the kitchen, cooking breakfast.
<DeathStar> 6* Kitchen battle!
<Kit> 6The bell is rung for headquarters.
<Kit> 6Lilith's ears twitch and she turns her head slightly. 1"Ara, what is that sound?"
* Angela does battle with some eggs.
<Kit> 6Lilith, having no idea what the doorbell is, goes back to severely burning bacon.
<Kit> <Lilith> Almost done!
<Kit> 6The ringer is rung again, a bit longer than last.
<Kit> 6* Lilith looks around suspiciously.
* Angela takes her eggs off the burner and goes to answer the door.
<Kit> 6* Megumi stands on the steps, in her outfit that leaves much to be desired, holding a large package of some sort under her left arm, wrapped in wax paper.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I was beginning to think no one was home.
<Dias> 6Dias slides upto the eggs and unscrews a bottle of Super Nova 12 Alarm Hot sauce and puts 4 days on each egg. He glances around than lowers, dissapearing
<Dias> NRP: Drops
* Angela closes the door.
<Kit> 6Megumi thwacks the door with a crack that resounds throughout the entire headquarters, possibly denting the exterior.
* Angela opens the door again, inspecting it. "...You ruined our door..."
<Kit> <Megumi> "I am not in the mood for foolishness." 6Despite the irritation in her voice, her eyes don't rise from the ground, beneath her glasses are dark rings.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I need help.
<Angela> "Sleeping pills."
<Kit> <Megumi> Sleeping pills will not teach me Basic.
<Angela> "You speak Basic already."
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not write it.
<Angela> "Why do you need to write in it?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Because I cannot face whom I wish to leave words to.
* Xan|Gone is now known as Marcus`
<Angela> "...Lover's quarrel?"
<Kit> 6* Chii grasps Katrina's shoulders and shakes her gently, jealous of that ability.
<Marcus`> Word on this street is your pissed Erevis off pretty bad. *he steps into the kitchen*
<Kit> <Megumi> That is what Cheryl called it.
<Marcus`> NRP: you not your
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Marcus, more expressionless than ever.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens one eye at Chii.
<Dias> 6Angela's egg's sit there, taunting Marcus to eat them.
<Marcus`> Yeah that face explains it all. *he steps over and eyes the eggs, then eyes Angela*
<Dias> 6The egg's smell ever so intoxicating.
<Angela> "I find that Cheryl and I can at times think alike, we had the same teacher."
<Kit> <Megumi> She found it amusing, however, I do not.
<Marcus`> Ooooh. Better not let Cheryl here you say that.
* Marcus` picks up one of the eggs all stealthy, shifting his back to them, he eats it.
<Kit> <Megumi> Lady Cheryl left before Erevis forbade me following her and turned her back on me.
<Angela> "You should stay away then."
<Dias> 6The egg tastes ever so tasteful, than suddenly his mouth begins watering, and it's not from the smell.
<Kit> <Megumi> Why else would I be here?
* Marcus` pauses, glancing around, "...these eggs taste weird."
<Angela> "I don't know why. THey weren't finished though."
<Dias> 6Marcus' mouth suddenly begins to get hot, as if someone put hot sauce on the egg. It begins to get hotter, reaching haberno levels quickly.
* Marcus` pauses and his eyes widen. "...did you put hot sauce on these?"
<Angela> "No."
<Dias> 6It doesn't stop, and manages to find a whole new level of painful hot as it gets hotter and hotter
* Marcus` opens his mouth, feeling as if steam should be bellowing from there. "..are...are...wait...DIAS." He runs into the kitchen.
<Dias> 6Oh there is steam. His eyes begin to flood cry.
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts the large package to her other arm, wobbling slightly. Her skin is flushed and dry.
* Marcus` throws open the fridge and grabs a gallon of milk, pulling off the cap as he begins to drain the milk.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, the milk is sour.
<Dias> 6The hot sauce turns the milk sour as it hits.
* Angela takes the package. "Go lay on the couch. Sleep and then you can dictate something. Then you should go home."
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks, then suddenly snatches the parcel back. 1"..Do not touch that...!" 6She says it desperately, then looks away. 1"...Please."
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not wish to sleep... And I have nowhere now.
<Angela> "Why not?"
* Marcus` spits the milk everywhere, dropping the jug as he slides oveer to the faucet and turns the cold water on, placing his mouth to it.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, the cold water is broken.
* Marcus` pauses and runs out of the kitchen, shifting by them as he runs outside, hoping to god there is still snow on the ground.
<Kit> 6Megumi clutches the bundle. 1"...It is precious to me."
<DeathStar> 6* An unusually sunny and dry day.
<Marcus`> ........
* Marcus` just falls back, bumping into Megumi as he slams into the doorway, mouth open, steam bellowing out.
* Marcus` sadly hits Megumi's parcel, denting it.
<Angela> "Why do you have no home?"
<Kit> 6Megumi stumbles, then lacking sleep and energy topples since she can't seem to manage to right herself, dropping the parcel. It thuds, and dented by Marcus, falls open revealing a painting of sorts.
<Marcus`> I....go...god....w....wa.....AHHHHH. *he flails about on the ground*
<Kit> <Chii> ...Ah! You're awake!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *groans*
<Kit> 6Chii flails frantically, as if she set off an alarm.
* Angela shakes her head, she picks it up and doesn't even look at it. She helps Megumi up, then marcus.
<Angela> "Inside, now. Sleep."
* Marcus` just denies help, laying there in pain, spit and drool drips down his cheek as tears poor from his eyes, he suddenly grabs Angela pant leg and beegins to rake his tongue on it.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...That is min-- ... I.. ..I..." 6She glares at Angela, at a loss.
<Angela> "Go."
<Kit> 6More frustrated than ever, she nods, bowing slightly, then enters, obediently stumbling toward the couch, falling haphazardly upon it, face first.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...
<Marcus`> 6*Angela's leg would begin to feel oddly hot, imagine how Marcus' mouth feels.
* Angela grabs Marcus by the shirt and drags him if need be inside, sitting him down.
<Kit> <Chii> G-Gomenasai! I didn't mean to..!
* Marcus` is drug, his wipes some snot away, looking a terrible sight.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hangover sucks
<Kit> 6* Lilith exits the kitchen victoriously, some blackened bits the fruits of her tasteless cooking. She goes to serve Raquel.
* Angela sighs and heads over to the kitchen, mixing something she brings a cup to Marcus and hands it to him. "Drink."
<Kit> 6Chii pauses, then winces, nodding. 1"...Yes, they hurt."
* Marcus` grabs it and downs it almost instantly.
* X1 has joined #taw
<Kit> <Chii> There's a remedy that works surprisingly well..
<Angela> * The heat stops instantly, but he's suddenly very drunk.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What?
<Kit> <Chii> I believe it's called a 'prairie oyster.'
* Marcus` sprawls out, a smile sliding onto his facee.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *just groans again*
<Kit> 6Chii turns away, glaring. 1"Well, that's what Freyja's stupid things said."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just pats Chii on the head
<Kit> 6Chii blinks and turns slightly, training one eye on Katrina in curiousity.
<Kit> 6Megumi seems to sleep soundly within seconds, reluctantly leaving her keepsake in Angela's hands.
<Kit> 6Lilith exits Raquel's room with decidedly less burnt bacon, heading for the kitchen.
* Marcus` reaches out and grabs onto Lilith's legs. "Hey!" There's a slight slur.
* Angela takes a seat. "Mmmph..."
* Marcus` begins to stroke Lilith's tail. "Hoows abou't yu an I party!?"
* Angela sighs at Marcus.
<Kit> 6Lilith blinks and looks downward. 1"...Yes, Marukaasusan?" 6She suddenly squeals high-pitched as Marcus offends her tail and backs away quickly, dropping the pan of bacon on him.
<Marcus`> AHHH!!! *he jumps up, flailing, stumbling then falling onto Megumi on the couch*
* Angela catches him before he falls by grabbing his poor shirt again, pulling him back.
* Marcus` is caught and just hangs there by the shirt. He smiles suddenly. "Damn woman, you're like a cat!" he stands upright and shakes his head, rubbing his temples.
* Angela makes a cute little meowing noise and grins.
<Kit> 6Lilith frantically comments on the mess and goes to retrieve a broom and a dustpan
<Marcus`> *Lilith would notice a godawful mess of soured milk on the kitchen floor.
<Kit> 6Lilith seems to shriek from the kitchen, as if a murder were occuring.
* Marcus` freaks out and shifts away. "YOU ARE A CAt!" He turns around to run but stubs his toe on the couch and falls down.
* Angela rolls him over and sits on him.
* Marcus` flails, swinging his arms back and forth.
<Marcus`> KITTY RAAAAPE!
<Angela> "Oh you're not THAT drunk."
<Angela> "...And when would you complain about that?"
<Kit> 5Lilith runs out, brandishing the broom as if it were a spear.
<Kit> <Lilith> You will not rape the cat!
* Angela sighs. "He's referring to me raping him."
<Kit> 6She blinks at Marcus flailing on the ground-- Not quite what she expected.
* Marcus` pauses, glancning around. "AHHH!" He points to Liilith and jumps up, knocking Angela over as he runns off.
<Angela> "Who gave him drugs..."
<Kit> 6Lilith blushes embarassedly and sweeps up the mess, disappearing to the kitchen.
<Marcus`> 6*Suddenly vomitting sounds can be heard from the kitchen.
<Marcus`> NRP: Bathroom.
<Kit> 6Lilith finishes in the kitchen and dusts her hands off on her apron, blinking as one of her ears twitches. She dashes to the bathroom and pounds lightly on the door. 1"You had best not make a mess, Marukaasusan!"
<Kit> 6Megumi, with her godhearing, somehow remains asleep.
* Marcus` opens the door suddenly, wiping his mouth off with a towel. "God those eggs were rank."
<Kit> 6Lilith peers dutifully around Marcus at the bathroom.
<Marcus`> 6*Apparently Marcus hit the toilet, all seems well.
* Marcus` smiles and whistles and he walks back into the main room.
* Angela eyes him and pounces.
<Kit> 6Lilith flushes.
* Marcus` pauses, slowly looking at the Angela hanging into his side.
<Angela> "Feel better now?"
<Kit> <Chii> Do you drink that heavily often?
<Marcus`> ...my brain was cooked from hot sauce and my stomach was destroyed to uncooked eggs...then you gave me alcohol.
* Dias has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Angela> "Yes, it stoppe dthe heat and forced you to rid your system of the eggs."
<Kit> 6Lilith wanders back through the living room, kneeling to regard the discarded painting.
<Marcus`> You got lucky. *he shifts Angela onto his shoulder and moves into the kitchen, the then flips her around and holds her upside down over the spoiled milk.* Apologize.
<Angela> H-Hey! I'm sorry!
* Marcus` laughs and shifts her right-side up, placing her on dry floor.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sometimes. If I'm in a bad mood.
<Kit> <Chii> Sou ka. Well, take it easy, will you?
* Angela pouts at him and then smiles, "Sparring today?"
<Marcus`> ...I have a headache and my tummy hurts.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll keep it on my to do list. 6* She sits up, then lays back down. "When my brain works."
<Kit> 6Chii frowns at Katrina and then nods to nothing in particular. She slides off the bed and exits the bedroom.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks at the cat on the couch and the dog peering at a painting. She moves to peer over Lilith's shoulder, who seems not to notice, then heads for the kitchen, witnessing pouting beside spilt milk.
<Marcus`> Angela did it. *he points and slides away*
<Kit> <Chii> ...Ohayou." 6She goes for a towel and runs it under cold water.
* Angela grabs him and pulls him back.
* Marcus` urks. "OW!"
<Angela> "Uh uh, gonna blow me off,you take the blame for your actions."
<Marcus`> I didn't do that.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Well, I won't comment on him blowing you.
* Marcus` pauses, then points and laughs
<Kit> 6Chii wrings the excess off the towel and walks back past them. 1"You should get that piece of work away from the dog before she eats it. Those kinds of paintings rarely leave a certain house."
<Marcus`> 6*Curiously, the cold was water was broken.
<Kit> 6Chii puts the towel in the freezer briefly, the hot water catalysting to cold quickly.
* Angela sighs and heads into the other room.
<Kit> 6Chii nods, and returns to Katrina, offering to place it over her head.
* Marcus` shifts into the other room. "GIT PUPPY, GIT!" he shakes a fist at it.
<Kit> 6Lilith blinks at Marcus, then goes back to studying the painting.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks. "Thanks, Chii."
<Marcus`> ...no one ever listens to me.
<Kit> 6Chii looks away, crossing her arms, just nodding with her usual stubborness.
* Marcus` sighs and picks up the painting, LOOKING at it.
<Kit> <Lilith> The lion and tiger remind me of some people I have seen in the holorecords.
<Kit> <Lilith> But I cannot place the names.
* Angela looks at them.
<Kit> 6The painting appears to have been focused originally on a nubile Megumi, who had been sleeping curled up much like a cat at the time. Erevis was added to it, hugging her in a fashion that almost looks painful. On the pillows above Megumi, since she wasn't using them, is a set of three plush animals, a lion, a tiger and a fox.
* Marcus` glances at Angela. "Cute, eh?"
<Kit> The lion glares at the person looking at the painting, as if daring an enemy to make a move. The tiger looks lazy or bored, smirking, the mane on it suspiciously similar to an infamous convict, the fox is, well, a plush fox.
<Angela> "Mmmm..."
<Angela> "Warren, Darien... and..."
<Marcus`> Darien? The fox looks nothing like Darien.
<Angela> "The tiger."
<Kit> 6The fox seems like it's trying its best to be optimistic, but unfortunately, no one knows about Kit and the other two plushes steal all the glory for their galactic conquests upon Erevis' bed.
<Kit> <Lilith> Oh, so that is who they reminded me of. I wish to meet them someday.
* Marcus` eyes the tiger. "How the hell does that look like Darien?"
<Kit> 6Lilith stands and returns to her duties, going to clean the kitchen. She's taking this maid thing too seriously, perhaps, convenient to the rest of the residents.
* Angela just smiles.
* Marcus` shrugs and drops the paintly rather roughly. "Well my cute limit has been exceeded."
* Angela catches it.
<Angela> "Be more careful."
<Angela> "This isn't yours to ruin."
<Marcus`> Eh. *he shrugs and moves off towards the back*
* Angela puts it up somewhere high and sits down next to the sleeping Megumi. "Why the hell am I being the mother around here..."
* Marcus` pokes his head into his room, "You two dead?"
<Kit> 6Chii GLARES at Marcus. 1"No."
<Kit> <Chii> How did we end up here?
<Marcus`> I carried you to the address that Katrina gave me in her drunken stupor.
<Kit> 6Chii quickly looks to Katrina.
<Kit> 6Megumi rolls over slightly, her arm falling from her to hang off the edge of the couch. She sleeps like a cat draped over a jungle branch, peaceful for once and not creased in an expression of worry, anger or focus.
<Kit> 6Consequently, her sunglasses fall off.
<Kit> <Chii> ...W-well, thanks or something...
<Kit> 6Chii mutters incoherently.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Marcus...? 6* She sniffs the bed suddenly.
* Angela sighs and looks over Magumi.
<Kit> <Chii> Yes, we appear to be in Marcus' room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina groans again.
<Kit> 6Megumi's in her indian outfit, having carried only the painting. She has her sunglasses on the floor and a pair of earmuffs around her neck. The creases under her eyes seem to be from malnutrition and/or sleep-deprivation as of late, and she's thin even for her size, of course, but that's normal.
<Kit> <Chii> What's wrong, Katrina?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Now I owe Marcus something.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? Hrmph.
<Kit> 6Chii grumbles and scowls. 1"I thanked him, that should be enough for a decent man."
* Angela sighs, picking up the flimsy cat with ease, after taking the girls sunglasses, and carries her to a guest room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a snort sound at decent
<Kit> <Chii> He's indecent? ...I could kill him if you want...
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns and shifts slightly as she's lifted, then softens, a corner of her mouth turning. 1"...Erevis... kiss.. ed me..?"" 6Yes, she talks in her sleep a lot. Ask Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No, no.
<Kit> 6Chii almost seems disappointed, but nods. 1"..Very well, Katrina."
<Jackieness> NRP: Night night
* Jackieness has left #taw
* Angela lays the girl on the bed, givingher a pitying look, she kisses her forehead, softly saying, "Sleep well..."
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts again, onto her side, curling up much like in the painting, yet without the tail present. She looks more like she's crying than content, however, and after a second, she actually is. Maybe she isn't really asleep, maybe she is.
* Angela sits down next to her, "Left behind... I know the feeling."
<Kit> 6There's no response.
* Marcus` stands in the training room now, having left Chii and Kat behind mid-talk, he stands there eyeing the punching bag.
* Angela sighs and sits back.
<Kit> <Chii> ...How may we fix this 'owe' thing?
<Kit> <Chii> Debts are a nuissance left to their devices.
* Marcus` steps out of the training room and makes his way through the hallway.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Get him a gift basket.
<Kit> 6Megumi moves her arm, hiding behind her elbow.
* Angela closes her eyes and rests her head in her hands.
<Kit> <Chii> Ah, sou ka. That's a good idea.
* Marcus` notes Megumi and Angela gone and deduces that a new relationship has started, he lays down on the couch and pulls his arms behind his head.
<DeathStar> 6* SUPER TIME JUMP ADVENTURE
<DeathStar> -1 day later-
* Angela peeks in on the guest room, presently in her training outfit.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina works on beating up a punching bag, using punches and kicks.
<Kit> 6Chii watches intently, mimicking the moves off at the air, but seems reluctant for some reason.
* Marcus` is...reading!? Yes, he has a book in his hands.
<Kit> 6Megumi is sitting on the opposite end of the bed, staring at the painting in her hands.
* Marcus` is also in the main room, for those that care.
<Angela> "Give her time..."
* Angela opens the door a bit more.
* Marcus` sighs and marks his page, tossing the book to the side.
<Kit> <Megumi> She forgave me in words, but I do not think she will forgive me in heart. I betrayed the one thing she truly clings to with pride.
<Kit> <Megumi> I did it purposely, because I was angry at something I had only envisioned on my own.
<Kit> 6Megumi sets the painting aside.
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* Angela sighs and sits down on the bed.
<Angela> "Want some advice from someone who's made that mistake?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina works up a good sweat.
<Megumi> <Megumi> I will not refuse it, but I do not garauntee I believe it applies.
<Angela> "Don't wait around, and don't push yourself on her."
<Angela> "Move on and live life, if you must, make yourself a better person so she'll see you're sorry and worthy of forgiveness."
<Angela> "Past that, there's nothing you can really do."
* Marcus` sighs, suddenly lonely.
<Megumi> <Megumi> Are we speaking of the same Erevis? She is not like 'people.'
<Angela> "She's human."
<Angela> "At least, she wants to have the same humanity as the rest of us."
<Megumi> <Megumi> Does she? She does not understand the 'humanity' you speak of, nor does she acknowledge it as necessary.
<Megumi> <Megumi> Even when she kissed me, I did not understand that it was out of her humanity, of which she could not put in words.
<Angela> "Look at her eyes anytime you mention Xanatos."
<Megumi> 6Megumi looks over her shoulder, glaring intently.
* Angela looks back at her, seems she had to make effort to mention the name herself.
* Megumi looks away, grinding her teeth slightly. That's a sore spot.
<Megumi> You do not know her very well. But I know her less, it seems.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina knocks the punching bag, then dodges it as it attacks back
<Angela> "I don't. But I do know what trying to earn forgiveness is like... too well..."
* Marcus` stands and moves off towards the back.
* Angela rubs her temples. "Mmm... you said you're homeless now?"
<Megumi> 6Chii gives up, or so it seemed. She holds her hands out slightly and dances from foot to foot, driving her knee at the air, then extends her leg and spins, hopping to the other foot and thrusting her opposite knee, repeating.
<Marcus`> Being hopeless is lame.*he glances in*
<Megumi> <Megumi> You did not believe in me to begin with, Mister Jones.
<Megumi> <Megumi> Thank you for your concern.
* Angela looks up at Marcus.
* Marcus` smiles. "I was just being mean."
<Angela> "Sweetie... girl talk time, okay?"
<Megumi> <Megumi> Nor did Mister Winters... Or anyone else.
<Marcus`> ...*he eyes her calling him sweetie* All i'm thinking is that if Erevis can forgive Sera for raping her body, then she can forgive you one day too. *he gives a thumbs up and walks off*
* Angela glares at him.
<Megumi> 6Megumi seems rather unaffected-- She already knew, after all.
* Angela rushes after him and slams ihim against the wall.
* Megumi peers over her shoulder, blinking, then returns to a solemn stare.
<Angela> "What the hell kind of cheap shot is that! You're one to talk!"
<Megumi> ...
* Megumi wonders if she really chose a decent place to seek help.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares out into the hallway
* Marcus` pauses, arching a brow. "Oooh. I never did anything to your body."
<Angela> "You let Dias!"
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Mm, feeding time.
* Angela glares angrily.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina casually ignores that line, and focuses on the fight.
<Angela> "You know what Marcus, fuck you."
* Angela turns and marches off down the hall.
* Marcus` lets out a low whistle. Shaking his head as he shifts off, a smile still on his face.
* Megumi gets up and staggers slowly to the doorway, peering around as if searching for more ambushes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I see the peace didn't last long around here.
<Megumi> <Chii> That was hardly worth absorbing..
* Angela steps into the main room and sits down, staring blankly at the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wipes her face with a towerl
<Megumi> 6Megumi returns to the bed, wrapping the painting back up in the wax paper.
<Megumi> 6Lilith appears in Raquel's doorway, wielding her broom.
* Marcus` pauses, glancing at Lilith. "I didn't do it!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets out a breath, not wanting to deal with other people's problems, while dealing with her own grief.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina punches the bag harder.
<Megumi> 6Chii moves over and holds the bag steady so she can practice more effectively.
* Angela clenches her fists and closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hits it again and again with her strongest blows.
<Marcus`> 6*Angela gets a beep on her datapad.
* Angela blinks and looks down, pulling it out of her pocket and checking.
* Marcus` slides into the training room, casually striding over to start lifting some free weights.
* Angela reads the message.
<Marcus`> 6* It's a picture of Marcus at Mt. Fuji, giving a thumbs up and smiling.
* Angela stares at it a bit confused, looking to see when it was taken.
<Marcus`> 6* Apparently around 10 minutes ago.
<DeathStar> 6* A bag is tossed at Megumi.
<Megumi> 6Megumi brings her dominant left hand up instinctively to grab it, eyes widening in surprise.
<DeathStar> 6* The bag swishes. Something smells good inside.
* Angela sits up and sighs, she walks back to megumi's room.
* Megumi returns to the bed and sets the painting back down, as well as the bag, opening it in curiousity.
<DeathStar> 6* It's full of nice, juicy cheeseburgers.
* Megumi blinks several times. 1"...H-huh..?"
* Angela steps in. "Never eat things from strange bags."
<DeathStar> Note: Eat me and grow stronger to win back your love!
* Megumi looks to Angela in confusion.
<Megumi> "...I do not think cheeseburgers would help me win Erevis over."
<Megumi> Who...?
<Angela> "Me either."
* Megumi stares at the bag, then the hallway.
* Angela takes a seat next to Meg.
<Megumi> 6Chii winces everytime the bag is hit, but stares dreaminly at Katrina.
* Megumi sets the cheeseburger bag aside, wondering who in the world threw it at her.
<Marcus`> *Marcus eyes Chii, and glances at Katrina. "Looks like a love-sick puppy, doesn't it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, squinting. "Huh?"
<Angela> "Now, you need a place to stay?
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks, one ear adjusting to Marcus, she turns, scowling.
* Marcus` points. "Evil face."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Chii.
<Megumi> "I only see a sick puppy."
<Megumi> NRP: Chii
* Marcus` pauses, the chuckles. "That was good."
<Megumi> <Megumi> I shared a bed with Erevis. I cannot stay there while she will not look at me.
<Angela> "I have a spare at my place."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *Rolls her eyes*
* Megumi eyes Angela, frowning considerably.
<Marcus`> Gee everyone is so depressing today. *He frowns and places the weights to the side, moving to leave*
<Megumi> <Chii> ...I'm...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina punches the bag again, not saying anything to Marcus
<Megumi> 6Chii looks to Katrina, looking slightly angry as usual. 1"I'm depressing?"
<Angela> "What?"
<Megumi> You have your own troubles and I bring ruin wherever I go.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Marcus is being a jerk.
<Megumi> <Chii> Oh, sou ka.
<Megumi> Not to mention I am still unhappy with how you have chosen to approach miss knight...
* Megumi looks away. 1"I am only here to draft a letter."
* Marcus` pauses. "I was? My bad." He frowns slightly, stepping out.
* Marcus` whistles as he walks down the hallway again, scratching his head.
<Angela> "In all honestly Megumi, how I approach her is not your business."
<Angela> "I'm merely offering to help you out."
<Angela> "If it helps, I'm intending on apologising to her for being so rude."
<Megumi> I hope that goes well, then.
* Marcus` stops by Megumi's room and shifts the door open slightly, unless it already is. "Angela. I want to talk to you after your done." Then he walks off without awaiting a reply.
* Megumi reaches into one of the cups of her top and removes a folded up set of papers.
* Angela sighs and looks at Meg. "If you want the place to stay, it's yours. I know what it's like to be alone like this."
<Megumi> ...Help me translate this, and I may consider it.
<Angela> "Sure."
* Angela takes a look.
<Megumi> 6It's three pages of solid writing in a calm, steady script consisting of curved hashes in various positions denoted by patterns of dots. The entire set is in Famfrit.
* Marcus` plops down on the couch, falling asleep now.
<Angela> "Did your people submit thier written text when they joined the PAX?"
<Megumi> 6Save for the opening, where Erevis is barely legible in basic, and the ending signed with her name in what looks like chinese hanzhi.
<Megumi> I do not know, but I sincerely doubt it considering their plans to disable subsystems from within.
<Angela> "Match the character's in Erevis' name with your letters for me."
<Megumi> ...Those are in Basic.
* Angela rubs her face.
<Megumi> Can I not just read it to you and you can script it?
<Angela> "That I can."
* Megumi looks at Angela with a puzzled look, then nods.
<Angela> "Read it out and I'll write."
* Megumi holds out her hand.
* Angela hands her the letter and pulls out a datapad.
<Megumi> Erevis; I know not where to truly begin, since the purpose of this letter is hidden amidst regrets and faltering hopes. After a year, I would have thought I knew you better than anyone who had merely crossed paths, however, it has become aware to me that I know less than I would have assumed.
* Angela writes.
<Megumi> On the other hand, I can honestly say I regret nothing and would gladly repeat the entire thing from the beginning, as nothing has made me happier than our time spent together, for better or worse, discovering things over again and new each day and every night. To name everything would take more words than are allowed
<Megumi> to me in this lifetime. I know I was too forward, insisting at every turn that things be genuine, when perhaps that is what they might have been all along. I truly insulted your pride, always calling anything you gave in turn a farce betrayed by duty rather than true concern. I have nothing to express my shame in rejecting those feelings blindly.
<Megumi> Instead of childishly complaining about that and continuing to pursue Miss Zephyr's forgiveness, I should have given you the careful attention I had promised to begin with. It is my duty, after all, to guard your trust-- Not because I want to, whether you accept that or not, but because that is what I should do as someone wanting to call myself a lover.
* Angela pauses at the last bit, but writes on.
* Megumi pauses a while, then sighs. 1"The gifts I made were of my heart's feelings, so I would hope that they remain worthy enough despite my failure. I have only taken the painting you gave me, because, selfishly I need something to remind myself."
<Megumi> Worry not about me doing anything too rash... I made my own promise to both you and miss knight that I would never think of such things again, but I will also keep my other promise. When things that threaten the peace that remains, I will meet it and destroy it with my own hands, one way or another.
* Angela keeps writing.
<Megumi> I will not lose to the soul of the animal, either. No matter how hot it burns, I will remember what I have learned from you, the snow that truly calms my soul. Thanks for everything.
* Megumi doesn't bother saying her name aloud.
* Angela finishes. "Done. I signed your name too."
* Megumi doesn't say anything, just nodding slowly.
* Angela hands it to her. "Get some more rest, I'll take you out for some breakfast."
<Megumi> 6* Chii steps back and eyes Katrina around the punching back, timing herself so that she can kick and knee the bag as Katrina strikes, cancelling the movement.
* Megumi eyes the datapad? She forgot entirely about having to deliver the letter even if she had it. 1"...I am not hungry."
<Angela> "You need to eat, plus I have to go get that printed."
* Megumi frowns slightly, but nods.
<Angela> "Be back shortly."
* Angela gets up, heading to the living area.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina finishes her workout. "I'm going to take a shower."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina heads to go get naked and wet.
<Megumi> 6* Chii follows faithfully.
* Megumi peers at the painting and at the datapad. She leaves the famfrit script letter atop the painting and then goes to the living room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the showers and peels off her clothing, stepping under the shower and turning it on
* Marcus` is stretched out on the couch, asleep apparently.
<Megumi> 6* Chii takes longer, as usual, and takes her own shower, seperated like last time, focused intently on the falling water.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We can share one...if you want.
<Megumi> <Chii> Is this a trick question?
* Angela sits on him.
* Marcus` umphs, opening his eyes. "You lose some weight?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No...
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm refraining from pouncing you." 6Her tail flickers under the water.
<Angela> "A bit, I've been working out."
<Angela> "So what is it?"
<Marcus`> Do you hate me now?
<Angela> "Nope, don't hate Marcus."
<Marcus`> ...really? So by pushing your buttons, I still didn't get far enough that you hate me? *he frowns* I was totally channeling Chad and everything.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you want to pounce me, you can. 6* She notes
<Angela> "It was a nice try... but Marcus sent me a photo of himself at Mt. Fuji not a few moments before we spoke."
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks several times, turning her head as her amber eyes glower. 1"...You don't mind?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head.
* Marcus` arches a brow. Then slides out a knife.
* Angela gently points the end of a very large gun into his face. "Put it down."
<Megumi> 6Chii turns off the water for her's, then moves over and seems to look like she's crouching with a grin, but then seems to think about it. 1"...I might hurt you if I actually pounced in a shower."
* Marcus` widens his eyes and begins to pick at his teeth with the knife. "You mean this picture?" he holds up his datapad, it displaying the same picture.
<Angela> "Yep."
* Angela seems unsurprised.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't believe you. 6* She says, faking disbelief.
* Marcus` glances at the picture, then then Angela. "The one from my Mt. Fuji trip last week?"
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks several more times. 1"...Y-Yes I could! If you slipped..!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay, then. 6* She turns her back to Chii to go back to cleaning
Session Close: Sun Oct 28 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Sun Oct 28 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<Megumi> 6Chii gulps, then crouches and pounces at Katrina.
* Angela moves the gun away a little. "The image clip headers say it's from this morning. Prove it's you."
* Megumi stares at this exchange.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is pounched. She leans against the shower wall to keep from falling
<Marcus`> You've got a cute freckle on your right ass cheek.
<DeathStar> 6* A bag of cheeseburgers land beside Megumi's feet
<Megumi> 6Chii seems at a loss! 1"..Ah, sou ka!'
* Megumi peers down at the bag and looks around quickly, upwards as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts around so she's face to face with Chii. "Told you."
* Angela sighs. "Why did you say those things?"
<DeathStar> 6* The retreating figure is already moving down the hallway out of sight
* Megumi gives chase!
* Marcus` slides the knife away. "I...well I was referring to the fact that Megumi's forgiveness was possible. Didn't realize you would take it like I was attacking you."
<Megumi> 6Chii smiles weakly, then squeezes Katrina. 1"I'll listen next time."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles a little back.
<Angela> "You referred to an incident you know so little about."
<Marcus`> Oh I know. Infact, I know next to nothing about it.
* Angela sighs and puts the gun away. Eyeing him.
* Marcus` frowns. "I'm sorry."
<Angela> "Forgiven."
* Marcus` pulls his arms behind his head. "Well you've got me here, you gonna punish me?" He wiggles his eyebrow in a playful manner.
<Megumi> 6* Chii peers up at Katrina with a rather unique stare-- Probably something only a fox spirit could manage. 1"Freyja would get angry when I wouldn't listen properly."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not angry right now. But do you want me to punish you?
* Angela leans down a little over him, considering.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure runs up the stairs.
* Megumi scowls and picks up speed, having rested, dashing off the wall itself to spring up diagonally across the stairs.
<Angela> "You owe me dinner."
<DeathStar> 6* The figure falls back down the stairs and rushes into the training room
<Megumi> 6Chii squints, shifting a little as her face reddens. 1"...Would you like that?"
* Marcus` pauses. "Whoa what?!"
* Angela smiles. "Your punishment."
* Megumi turns deftly and pursues.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina spanks her on her behind
<Marcus`> Th..that's not a punishment.
<Megumi> 6Chii, not exactly prepared, squeaks and leaps, latching onto Katrina in response, blinking.
<Angela> "I could always tie you down and do completely unspeakable things to you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina swats her again
<Marcus`> Ooooh tempting.
<Megumi> 6Chii gulps, giving her a nervous yet intrigued smile, holding onto her.
<Angela> "So dinner, and if I am properly entertained we will see what further punishment you will get."
* Angela leans down close over him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina swats her one final time.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Now now. My loins might just be burning."
<DeathStar> 6* The figure leaps into the shower room.
<Megumi> 6Chii leans up and coos, slowly adjusting to it, her cheeks reddened, probably both sets, though her ears twitch and she looks around, reddening in the face even more. "1...Mm..?"
<Megumi> You are not getting away...!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake lays there in a puddle of water, his coat getting soaked. He stares up, and promptly faints.
* Angela goes eye to eye with him and smiles. "Mmmm... good."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh Jesus! 6* She stumbles in surprise and falls on her own ass.
<Megumi> 6Chii squeals, collapsing atop of Katrina.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "I can ruin this moment." He says in a sing-song voice.
* Angela giggles, "But do you really want to?"
<Megumi> <Megumi> ...Mister Dr--
<DeathStar> 6* Drake gurgles in water
* Megumi freezes, staring at the two in the shower.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares back at Megumi. "Me-Megumi?"
<Marcus`> Maaaybe. I hear some female squeeling and i'm curious to see what it is.
<Angela> "I'm sure it's just Chii doing something odd again."
* Megumi blinks a few times, her face burning as well-- She knows damn well it's not Erevis, yet the resemblance...
* Megumi slowly teeters and falls over, much like Drake.
<Marcus`> But...that....means sex.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Awkward.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits there, staring at Megumi, looking a bit awkward now since she can feel her emotions.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...D-damn it..
<Angela> "POssibly. But not with you...."
<Angela> "Dias will probably have it on DVD tomorrow."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake gurgles more.
<Megumi> 6Chii moves off of Katrina, shifting uneasily. 1"...Must.. continue at Katrina's... shower.."
<Marcus`> Oh they owe me one now though.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Huh? 6* She looks up.
* Angela sighs a little and pouts, getting up off him. "Go on then. I'll jut entertain myself."
<Marcus`> Really? Cause I could totally watch that too.
<Megumi> 6Chii squints, snapping. 1"...I'm warm!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina flinches a bit, and stands up.
<Megumi> 6Chii twitches slightly and goes to rise to her feet as well.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
* Angela giggles and smiles softly. "Mmmm... but then I might be tempted to have you help."
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Don't worry, I can tell something is off.. I ...won't pounce you here and now...
<Megumi> 6Chii's face looks a little dark for some reason.
<Marcus`> Oh. I can't do any of that. *he holds up his hands* I'm trying to be a good boy that doesn't mess with people's emotions. *he sits up now that she has gotten off of him*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just turns and goes back to washing herself
* Angela pokes his nose. "I'm fine now."
<Megumi> 6Chii just... washes her back.
<Megumi> 6Probably sobbing.
* Marcus` pauses. "...people poke a dog's nose when they did something wrong."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns once her back is finished and washes Chii without any real warning.
<Angela> "Mmmph."
<Marcus`> I'm offended.
<Megumi> 6Chii jerks slightly, making that high-pitched squeal again, but... slowly relaxes, looking down slightly at Katrina.
<Marcus`> *Theron appears suddenly and drags Drake and Megumi out of the shower room.
<Angela> "Really, I find the wolf aspect cute."
<Marcus`> Cute? Whenever this thing gets control, I could kill people. I don't find that cute.
* Angela shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina scrubs Chii thoroughly, ignoring the two KOed peepers.
* Marcus` frowns. "Like I don't fully understand things about you. You don't full understand things about me."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is saved?
<Marcus`> *Theron leaves them in the hallway, walking off again.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake drowns in the carpet.
<Angela> "That's true."
<Megumi> 6Chii starts feeling useless and grasps around for soap, returning the favor on Katrina.
* Angela tilts her head at him, "I like this about you..."
* Marcus` pauses, "Oh?"
<Angela> "Practically throwing myself at you and you don't take the invitation, yet witha perfect stranger you'll practically pounce."
<Marcus`> I don't know them. *he shrugs*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's breathing quickens slightly, for whatever strange reason. Her need and loss feels heavy for a moment in her gut, and she forces it away
<DeathStar> 6* Drake unwittingly stretches in his unconscious state and uses Megumi's chest as a pillow.
<Megumi> ...Ere...vis...
<Angela> "Exactly, you have a bit of fiber to you."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Chee...se burg..er..
<Megumi> 6Chii pauses, narrowing her eyes slightly in concern at Katrina, rubbing the side of her cheek with her index finger.
<Marcus`> Isn't that the thing that gives you the runs?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers up at Chii's face now.
<Marcus`> *Theron breathes heavily behind Katrina and Chii.
<Marcus`> NRP: Joking.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake plumps out his "pillow"
* Megumi stirs and slowly opens her eyes.
<Megumi> 6Chii tilts her head slightly, eyes focused on Katrina's. 1"...Memories?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake slowly opens his eyes as well
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Memories? 6* She blinks.
* Megumi 's knuckles crack.
<Megumi> <Chii> I thought I... No, nothing.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I-I-I
* Angela smiles.
<Angela> "With food, yes."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You think you'd mind if we had sex? 6* She asks bluntly.
<Marcus`> Ooooh. Not sure I want that. I mean...I threw up not long ago.
<Megumi> 6Chii utterly changes skin tones. 1"..O-Of course I wouldn't!"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake screams like a little sissy girl, yanking his hand back.
* Angela sighs gently. She pats his head.
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina nods. "Let me show you something two girls can do together at the same time." 6* The camera pans away and the audience curses
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "That was a retard sympathy vote."
<Megumi> Unhand me, Mister Drake, before I do something I regret.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake scurries away
* Megumi sits up with an expressionless look. 1"..."
<Marcus`> NRP: pat not vote.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I didn't mean it! I thought you were a pillow!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake waves his hands back and forth in a panic
<Megumi> I am a lesbian, leave me alone.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I know!
<Megumi> <Chii> Same... time?
<DeathStar> <Drake> You only like girls!
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"Wrong."
<Marcus`> I ONLY LIKE GIRLS! *he screams towards the hall*
<DeathStar> <Drake> Then you're not a lesbian.
<Megumi> I only love Erevis.
<Angela> "That was a 'I find you a cute puppy' pat."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses. "Well, maybe you are a... Erevisian."
<Marcus`> Oh that's offending. *he stands and stomps off for the kitchen*
* Megumi frowns back the way she heard shouting.
* Megumi glances back at Drake.
<Megumi> Erevisian?
<Megumi> ...Is there such a thing?
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, clearly you are such a thing!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin, fascinated.
* Angela sighs and walks after him. "Excuse me, I believe that amkes us even?"
* Megumi nods. 1"It is decided. I am an Erevisian."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slowly lowers Chii to the hard floor, deciding to just do it right here, with the water going on. She was never a patient one.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *nods, then scurries away*
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Sweeet. I don't havee to pay for a dinner that I can't afford." He poses like a hero.
<Megumi> 6Chii keeps her eyes on Katrina, only looking away once to make sure she doesn't slip, ears alert, looking nervous again.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays on top of Chii, reaching down to kiss the girl, to help elevate some nervousness.
* Angela grins. "Sure."
<Angela> "I was going to pay though..." *stretches* "I just wanted the date."
<Marcus`> Then you didn't have to try and force me into it! *he throws up his hands, then pauses and grabs an apple, biting into it.
* Angela smiles. "Well, lemme know if you want to, I'm going to go practice more." *she stretches again, revealing that underneath what's little more then Gi is her actual training clothes, a tight looking tactsuit.
* Marcus` pauses and tilts his head. "I'll watch you walk away." he motions.
<Megumi> 6Chii props herself on her elbows, bringing one knee up, as she lifts her chin and kisses with Katrina, closing her eyes.
* Megumi stands and dusts herself off, moving back down the hallway to the living room.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hides in the living room
<Megumi> ...Miss Bennet, Mister Drake is strange.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hey!
<Marcus`> *Theron bumps into Megumi, "Oh? Did you come to get your revenge?"
<Megumi> <Megumi> What are you talking about?
* Angela looks over at Megumi, then Drake. "What happened now?"
<Marcus`> He is. *he says with a wave of a hand*
* Megumi was never told by Terra.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see. Terra did not tell you. *walks off*
* Megumi frowns after Theron, shaking her head.
<Marcus`> *Theron comes walking back with a coat over his shoulder. "Time for our rematch." He notes, nodding to those in the main room as he steps out.
<DeathStar> <Drake> .... *rubs the back of his head*
<Marcus`> Angela. You're not walking away. *he frowns*
<Megumi> Miss Bennet is leaving?
<Marcus`> I can't very well watch her walk away if she isn't.
* Angela walks away from him, into the living room.
* Marcus` swoons.
* Megumi ...blinks and follows Angela.
* Angela walks over to Drake. "You okay?"
* Marcus` whistles as he walks into the living room.
<Megumi> He will be if he does not grope me again.
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... I thought you were a pillow!
<Marcus`> Haha. Can I grope you?
<Megumi> Only Erevis may. If you try, I would break every major bone in your body.
* Marcus` pauses and shifts on a long red wig. "Now?"
* Angela giggles.
* Megumi glares dangerously. 1"Are you making fun of Erevis?"
* Marcus` stares blankly. "..."
* Megumi calms slightly, then looks away, crossing her arms.
<Megumi> ...You said something about training, or breakfast, which is it, Miss Bennet?
<Marcus`> Oh god you're so easy. *he shifts the wig off and tosses it too Drake*
<Angela> "Breakfast first."
* Angela looks at Drake and Marcus, "Either of you want to join us? My treat."
<Megumi> I will wait in the training room, I have lost my appetite.
* Marcus` slowly glances at Angela. "It's not a double date or anything, right? Cause Drake's not my type."
<Megumi> ...It is not a date! I have only dated Erevis!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake catches it and fumbles.
<Marcus`> You call that dating? Hmmm.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I-I-I have work to do
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hurries out
<Megumi> Erevis took me on a date to ice skate and taught me how.
* Marcus` pauses and motions. "Totally gay."
* Megumi glares at Marcus, defending.
* Marcus` eyes Megumi. "I liked you better before you fell in love with Erevis. You were a much more interesting character."
* Angela sighs, "I'm heading out."
<Megumi> I was unstable an-- ...I am not here for your entertainment.
* Angela walks over grabbing her jacket.
<Marcus`> H-hey! Don't leave me alone with her. *Motions to megumi*
<Megumi> 6Elsewhere Chii relaxes gleefully.
<Megumi> Nor I with him!
* Megumi frowns toward Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays next to Chii out of breath, a bit flushed herself
<Megumi> 6Chii rolls onto her side and latches, biting playfully at her lip like she did to her before.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a sound, grabbing Chii and pulling her on top of herself, since she's lighter than a male partner
* Marcus` watches Angela ignore them and then narrows his eyes at Megumi.
<Megumi> 6Chii stares down at Katrina, a little confused, but smiles.
* Megumi walks over to Angela, ignoring Marcus' expression.
<Megumi> You must deliver the letter.
<Marcus`> NOOO! *he runs past Megumi and scoops up Angela, running out of the building*
* Megumi dashes after them!
* Angela blinks and looks at Marcus
<Marcus`> EEEE! *he runs around away from Megumi*
* Megumi springs light-footed, dodging and leaping obstacles with ease.
* Marcus` pauses and then stick his foot out to trip Megumi.
* Megumi leaps to avoid it, sliding to a halt after him as a consequence
<Angela> "Where are we going...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses her in return for the bite.
* Marcus` sets Angela down. "I dunno. I just felt like being random."
* Angela smiles a little. "Well... breakfast?"
* Angela eyes the Megumi in pursuit.
* Marcus` motions to Megumi. "Ask her first."
<Megumi> 6Chii seems to swoon, hiking her knee up on Katrina as she leans in to give her tongue in return instead, returning another earlier favor.
<Megumi> ...Me? You were the one who ran.
<Marcus`> I didn't run. I strategically retreated.
* Megumi just narrows her eyes, holding out the datapad for Angela.
<Marcus`> Oooh what's this. *he shifts to swipe it, reading*
<Angela> "Megumi's letter to Erevis."
<Angela> "And my datapad."
* Megumi lifts her dominant left hand, wavering slightly, eyes widening.
* Megumi consequently yelps slightly, falling to her knees and bringing both hands up. It was a sincerely bright day for a change as said earlier.
* Marcus` holds a finger up to both of them, apparenttly it takes him a concious effort to read.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a satisfied sound after the kiss, laying back. "Mmmm, I feel better." 6* She sounds like she means it - sex is the best cure, sometimes, for depressed mind. At least temporarily.
<Megumi> 6Chii grins, content to lie on top of Katrina until moved elsewhere. 1"I'm glad."
<Angela> "...At least he's reading."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets her, content like a cat who got milk
<Megumi> ...My... eyes... Damn it, I do not want people reading that freely...
<Marcus`> So. You really think Erevis is the type to read a letter and then everything will be ok?
<Megumi> Do you really think I care about your opinion at this point?
* Megumi stands rubbing at her eyes furiously. 1"Nor is that the idea."
<DeathStar> 6* Or tuna.
<Marcus`> You know. Whenever Xan and Erevis had issues between each other, Xan challenged Erevis to a fight, and after he kicked her ass, everything was well. Erevis much prefers a direct confrontation.
<Megumi> 6Chii wags her tail happily, or something, reaching over after a moment to scramble for turning the water off.
<Megumi> I can seriously hurt Erevis, anyone, if I am not careful, and even then sometimes when I am not expecting to.
<Megumi> Nor do I have any interest in forcing her by defeating her in fighting.
<Megumi> Quit looking at everything I do, standing back and picking it apart, assuming it is all one-step schemes for me to seduce her.
<Marcus`> The you'll never get her as you desire. Xan was able to get what he wanted, which was Erevis. And Erevis in turn told him to get what he wanted.
* Megumi looks up at Marcus entirely frustrated. 1"I am sick of you all telling me how I am doing everything wrong. Erevis and I agreed to be true to our feelings-- Because I am stupid, I occasionally forget that and mess things up. I do not need you all to remind me of that fact, or to sneer and make fun of me, constantly babbling about how I want it easy."
<Megumi> It is already difficult to cope with, when I do not have the desire to watch you all burn for comments like that.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squints up as the water shuts off.
* Angela grabs the datapad, stuffing it in her jacket, she starts walking off.
<Marcus`> Listen, I'm trying to help your little emo ass out. I was giving you actual advice that I got from a good source. Don't get pissy at me.
<Marcus`> You'd know these things if you read this book. *he holds up Xan's book* Came out last week.
<Megumi> She has been writing it the entire time we have been together.
<Megumi> Finishing it, in any case.
<Marcus`> And did you ever read it?
<Megumi> Do you read instruction manuals for your lovers?
* Megumi turns and follows Angela.
<Marcus`> You bet your ass you do.
* Marcus` walks the opposite way.
<Megumi> She does not have one to me, why should I?
* Marcus` pauses and glances back. "She doesn't need it. You do, obviously."
* Angela sighs and stops. "Could you two not do this on the street? You're disturbing people."
<Angela> * Passerbyers stares at them.
<Angela> * Bob the Hobo eyes Marcus, who woke him up, his enemy.
* Megumi turns and stomps. 1"Mind your own damn business!"
* Marcus` glances around. "RAWR! I'm crazy! That's my girlfriend right there! Yeah both of them are!"
* Megumi turns suddenly, glaring. 1"Go to hell!"
* Angela grins.
* Megumi pauses, then stares at the ground.
<Marcus`> Uh. No? Jeez Megumi. You've got anger issues.
<Angela> "Marcus, I'll deal with Megumi alright?"
* Megumi seems to be trying to remember something.
* Megumi looks up at Marcus, straining. 1"...Duh?"
* Marcus` pauses and then bursts out laughing.
<Megumi> <Chii> We should move to bed or something before we get too cold, right?
* Megumi looks a little disturbed, but endures.
<Megumi> ...Wh-what?
<Marcus`> You're so cute sometimes. *he shakes his head*
* Angela giggles and looks between them.
<Angela> "Alright you two, breakfast."
* Angela waves to a restaurant.
* Angela heads towards it.
* Marcus` sighs and slouches, walking off after her.
<Megumi> I do not want to be told that by you...
<Angela> * Bob the Hobo continues to eye his enemy.
* Megumi turns and walks along.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmhm
<Marcus`> Hey is that Erevis? *he glances towards Megumi's blindspot*
* Megumi turns quickly toward it, scanning, then pauses.
* Megumi twirls on her heels.
<Megumi> I... I hate you!
* Megumi runs ahead of Marcus, at least somewhat to the side of Angela.
<Megumi> <Chii> Should I carry you?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmmmm hm
* Retrieving #taw modes...
* Marcus` pauses and points to a cloacked figure fighting theron in plain sight. He shrugs and walks after them.
<Marcus`> NRP: cloaked*
<Megumi> 6Chii smiles and moves off of Katrina, gently working her hands beneath Katrina's shoulders and knees, attempting to lift her.
* Angela gets a table and takes a seat.
<Angela> * Bob the Hobo leaps in and fights alongside theron, weilding a spork.
* Marcus` sits down beside Angela, being quiet for a change.
<Marcus`> 6*Theron just throws Bob aside. The damn nuisance.
* Megumi looks around and studies the place, resorting to the seat across.
* Megumi is, yes, dressed like a skimpy indian in winter.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wiggles. "If I'm too heavy, I can walk. I'm just lazy."
<DeathStar> 6* The GM Exnays the Bob bit, as that's not real RP.
* Angela yawns and orders a pile of pancakes for all of them.
<Angela> * Bob glares in defiance.
<Marcus`> I'm allergic to syrup.
<Angela> "Then put sugar on yours."
* Angela piles some pancakes on her plate as they're delivered.
<Marcus`> B...but maybe I wanted eggs.
<Angela> "Order em."
<Megumi> 6Chii, determined, uses some of her spirtual energy to lift Katrina and whisk her to bed before she tires out, collapsing beside her, panting.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rolls on top of Chii and kisses her neck as a reward
* Marcus` just shakes his head and grabs some panecakes and smothers them in syrup.
* Megumi seems to sniffle slightly, staring at the pancakes.
<Marcus`> ...I sense an Erevis flashback coming on. *he braces for impact*
<Megumi> She made me my first pancakes...
* Marcus` groans, falling out of his chair.
<Marcus`> ...that one hit me hard.
* Megumi stabs one ferociously and takes a bite.
* Angela falls over as well.
* Megumi glares away from Marcus.
* Angela sits back up.
<Angela> "Try... not concentrating on her so much, it might be easier."
* Marcus` laughs. "Even Angela did it. Awesome." He sits back up.
* Megumi looks to Angela. 1"Try not blushing when you speak to a male."
* Marcus` laughs his ass off.
* Angela smiles softly. "I blush when there's reason to."
* Marcus` slowly calms down, wiping at tears. "Please, keep this up. This is awesome."
<Megumi> You must have lots of reasons.
* Marcus` snorts, laughing more.
* Megumi peers off. 1"With lots of males."
* Marcus` falls onto the floor, laughing all the while.
<Marcus`> O..oh god..my sides...the pain...*he pulls himself back upu*
<Megumi> I thought you were a wolf, not a jackal.
<Marcus`> Oh i'll be anything you want me to be baby. *he wiggles his eyebrows*
<Angela> "Oooo Burn."
* Angela smiles, eating.
<Megumi> I want you to stop breathing.
* Marcus` holds his breath.
<Angela> "Actually, I only have interest in three men."
* Megumi gazes off. 1"Insensitive furball."
<Angela> "One's taken, so we're down to two."
<Megumi> Oh, options. A girl with a fallback plan.
* Marcus` pauses and then nods. "With that attitude, you may just be able beat Erevis into listening to what you have to say."
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks, gasping slightly as she lifts her neck up reactively. 1"Oh..!"
<Megumi> She never was good with truthful sarcasm.
<Angela> "Better to have a fallback plan then to walk about miserable and alone."
* Angela drinks.
<Megumi> Oh, was that referring to me? I am sorry I have meaningful commitments.
<Marcus`> Honestly is the most important thing in the world to Erevis. *he notes casually*
* Angela sips again, not answering, she just smiles at Megumi in a way that says Megumi knows nothing about her.
<Marcus`> That and a good punch in the eye.
* Megumi eyes Angela. 1"You were all over Mister Starr on the station... Now that he is in prison, you visit him."
<Marcus`> Dariens hot. Do you blame her?
<Megumi> Yet clearly you have slept with Mister Jones here, and Mister Dias if I heard correctly.
* Marcus` give a thumbs up.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina can't help herself and just keeps kissing Chii; clearly she's a perky one and can go again and again, like that bunny.
<Megumi> Tell me, was Mister Dias before or after Mister Jones?
<Marcus`> Oh hell no I wasn't sloppy seconds.
<Megumi> Did you even notice?
<Angela> "Like I said Meg. One is taken."
* Angela sighs.
<Angela> "Mister Jones was first."
<Marcus`> Damn right.
<Megumi> Maybe using this incarnation as an excuse.
<Megumi> I can regenerate myself and others, would it count firsts every time?
<Angela> "Mister Dias better not ever let it be known to my guardian that he did what he did."
* Megumi narrows her eyes slightly. 1"I have no control over my feral spirit, yet I am still responsible for what it does."
* Marcus` gets bored and goes to sleep.
* Angela grins and pokes Marcus' nose.
<Megumi> Do you still have the memories? If so, are you counting backwards? Then yes, it makes sense.
<Angela> "The memories?"
* Marcus` eyes Angela, then looks to Megumi. "I was with you until you got lame again."
* Megumi shifts her glance to Marcus.
<Megumi> Who told you to breathe?
<Megumi> You lose; I win.
* Marcus` just laughs.
<Marcus`> Oh i'm sorry, this was a game? *he rubs his hands together*
<Megumi> You better hope so, if it were not, you would be dead.
* Megumi is... quoting Marcus!?
<Angela> "...Oh right, the cat's using the past of my screwed up half to attempt to bring me down a notch."
* Angela takes another bite.
<Marcus`> Ho ho ho. You're slick.
<Megumi> Bring you down? Not at all.
<Megumi> If it is the truth, it is the truth.
<Megumi> You are not a different person, you are merely put back together.
<Angela> "If you wish to see it as that."
<Megumi> I see it for what it is.
* Megumi eyes Marcus. 1"You, breathe."
<Angela> "Then you really know nothing."
* Marcus` reaches out and throws water in Megumi's face.
* Angela drinks a bit more.
<Marcus`> Bad kitty. No.
* Megumi squints slightly.
<Megumi> Do you see Miss Bennet as a new person all of the sudden?
<Marcus`> Sure.
<Megumi> Or is she still the same you knew before, with some changes?
<Marcus`> Does it really matter?
<Megumi> If I will be blamed for such things, yes.
<Megumi> If she can retroactively berate miss knight, then doubly so.
* Angela yawns, suddenly bored.
<Megumi> You cannot have it both ways. Has Erevis not taught me that much?
<Megumi> The convenience of a new life must be nice.
<Angela> "Megumi, may I ask you a simple question?"
<Megumi> I have never denied anyone that much.
* Megumi eyes Marcus. 1"Not even his rude ones."
<Marcus`> My question are education assumptions.
<Marcus`> NRP: educated.
<Angela> "When did you become worthy of passing judgement on anyone?" *she sips her drink*
<Megumi> When everyone passed judgement on me.
<Megumi> I held my tongue for far longer than any of you.
<Angela> "Far longer you say..."
* Angela sighs and just shrugs.
<Angela> "This isn't worth it."
* Marcus` goes to take a drink of his water and pauses, he frowns. "Bout time you realized. Can we go?"
* Angela waves a waiter over to pay the bill.
<Megumi> Hrmph, that was all it took?
<Angela> "Either confront Erevis or drop her."
<Megumi> All I did was make it inconvenient and you both buckled. At least before, if I spoke with my hands and feet, you would have taken it in stride, even smiled.
<Megumi> Clearly, words hurt more than any physical wound.
<Marcus`> Oh? *he eyes a knife casually*
<Angela> "Megumi."
* Megumi closes her eyes. 1"I do not have any interest in a contest of witty insults or such things, but if you preferred me like that..."
* Angela holds up her datapad and presses a button, the words on the screen vanish.
<Angela> "Confront Erevis or drop her."
* Marcus` arches a brow at Angela.
* Angela pays the bill with her card and stands up, putting on her jacket.
* Megumi closed her eyes and never saw anything.
<Marcus`> Psst. She deleted the letter.
<Megumi> So what?
<Marcus`> So there goes your heartfelt apology to Erevis.
<Angela> "Words, in fact, are meaningless."
<Megumi> It is Miss Bennet. I was lucky enough that she spoke to me, after holding a grudge.
* Marcus` motions to Angela to go ahead and wait outside.
* Megumi opens her eyes slowly. 1"She shut the door on my face when I said I needed help."
<Megumi> Could I honestly rely on her?
<Angela> "No, not really."
* Angela steps out.
<Megumi> So, Mister Jones, how is it?
* Marcus` sits there for a long while, quiet. "So she decides to attempt and help you, so what do you do? You point out the faults in her life? Like you've never made mistakes?"
<Megumi> "...Duh?"
* Megumi waves her hands, motioning questioningly at Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron and the cloaked figure are now gone
* Angela eyes up and down the empty street, her enemy.
<Megumi> You realize, of course, that I have already decided on what I am doing?
* Megumi raises a hand to weakly point outward. 1"I only did that out of curiousity."
<Marcus`> I don't particularly care what you're doing. You see, by your actions just now, you actually lost 2 potential friends. I poke fun, sure, and I'm mean, but I would actually like to see you succeed with Erevis. And Angela, she was honestly trying there, trust me I know. But since you decided to be a bitch, so much for that.
<Megumi> 6Chii cinches her eyes shut, squirming ticklishly under Katrina. 1"A-ah! Y-you can... s-still.."
<Megumi> Now you are just being inconsistent.
<Megumi> Either you like me one way or the other...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses down Chii's chest and to her stomach, kissing it now. "Do you want me to stop?"
* Marcus` holds his hands up. "I don't like you either way. I pushed you to try and make you grow, clearly that didn't work."
<Megumi> As far as Miss Bennet goes, I wanted to see if she would take her own advice. She said she was ready to apologise to miss knight, so what is she waiting for?
<Marcus`> She was eating breakfast?
<Megumi> Is that so? Well, if you hate me, then there is little point in me apologising for acting a bit childishly.
<Megumi> However, I do not see how I have lost a friend in a woman who barely understands herself and decided to condemn me for things that had nothing to do with her.
<Marcus`> I don't hate you, i'm neutral. You really need to grow up, because right now, the person in front of me, does not deserve someone such as Erevis. She is way to good and noble for someone that would resort to throwing cheap shots out simiply because they can't handle their own fucking provblems.
<Megumi> Miss knight is one of the only other people close to me, and I had to watch them stab one another in the gut for no apparent reason other than a sudden epiphany.
<Megumi> Then she bonds with Zephyr and holds that against me? Hrmph.
<Marcus`> You really know little, yet you think you know alot. *he stands* I pity you. *he walks off now*
<Megumi> As usual, the know-it-all and walk off response.
<Megumi> I would know more if I were not learning from people's backs.
* Angela stands outside, eyes closed, leaning against the window near the door.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Megumi. "I see. Sucks for you, eh?" he shrugs and steps outside. "Let's go." he continues on.
* Megumi moves to leave the establishment, mumbling. 1"I do know a lot. Knowing a lot and understanding people have truly little to do with one another."
* Angela heads after Marcus.
<Megumi> <Chii> W-well, n-no, but... You really c-can... go a long time...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses a bit lower, to see if she can make Chii squeal again in that tone.
* Megumi heads back toward the headquarters, closing her eyes and angling her head upward, yawning. 1"Maybe those two will go get lost together now."
* Marcus` moved at a quicker pace, so he steps inside the HQ.
* Angela steps in behind him, sighing. "I'm going to go train more."
<Marcus`> Alright. *he shifts back and closes the door, locking it*
<Megumi> 6She doesn't, only wincing a bit and gripping at the bed.
<Megumi> NRP: Chi
<Angela> "Join me if you want."
* Angela doesn't seem to be suggesting anything, clearly not happy.
* Angela heads off to the training room.
* Marcus` whistles and moves over to the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't give her any relief until she gets what she wants.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy walks over and unlocks the door, and walks off.
<Megumi> 6Without much of a break, Chii eventually gives, making some curious noises from Marcus' room.
* Marcus` watches her, frowning. He stands and walks towards the back, he glances into his room. "Interesting thing to do on my bed. Can't you two go home?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at the two as well
* Megumi makes a few pauses to look in windows of shops, but nothing really catches her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina apparantly isn't going to stop, even for Marcus, until she finishes the job.
<Marcus`> Seriously. No shame, at all.
<Megumi> <Chii> H-h-hey! G-get out of h-here!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up a webcam.
<Marcus`> It's my room. No.
<Megumi> <Chii> "B-Billy!?" 6She squeaks and falls backward, her arms giving out.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy gets the money shot, and leaves
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans back. "Okay, you're fired then, Marcus. I'll rehire you tomorrow."
<Marcus`> Ohhh. Fine fine. Just change the sheets. *he moves over and begins changing*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina covers herself up - and Chii, by default.
<Megumi> 6Chii lies back, heaving in some sort of half-vegetative state, gulping.
<Marcus`> Little to late for that. *said as he drops his drawers, rummaging through his dresser*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
* Megumi arrives back at the headquarters, about to knock, but then takes a guess and perhaps a hint from Terra and just tries opening the door.
<DeathStar> 6* The door is unlocked.
* Marcus` pulls out a fresh set of clothes and begins putting them on, "And seriously, please change the sheets." He steps out, closing the door behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drops the sheets again, putting her arm to her forehead.
<Megumi> <Chii> Strange, coming from the perverted hound...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's in a bad mood.
* Megumi peers at Marcus, then closes the door, heading for the guest room.
* Marcus` shifts and walks into the training room.
<Megumi> <Chii> Mm, I know.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stretches lazily like a cat.
<Megumi> <Chii> I have had more today than usual.
* Angela is practicing kicks on the punching bag, the poor punching bag, it's starting to break under them.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What? Bad mood?
<Megumi> 6Chii tilts her head. 1"In both respects I have had more than usual."
* Marcus` watches Angela, his arms crossed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers back at Chii, and rubs her thumb along Chii's cheek.
<Marcus`> ...I need to go out. I'll be back later, *he says after a moment, then turns and walks off*
<Megumi> 6Chii gulps and looks at Katrina. 1"Eh-heheh..!"
* Megumi rummages around in the room, then heads to the kitchen with her letter. She spends some time there, then heads back to the room.
<Angela> "Fine." *she kicks again, there's the sound of something bursting*
<Angela> "Shit."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles seductively, but doesn't actually do anything.
* Marcus` shifts past Megumi annd steps out.
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
* Angela is now known as Angela|DreamingDarkly
* Angela|DreamingDarkly is now known as ANgela
* ANgela is now known as Angela
* Angela shifts her position expertly and then begins to clean the broken punching bag.
<Megumi> 6* Grain by grain, then sections as a time, the bag lifts and begins to mend itself.
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh hehe--.. e-eh..?" 6Peers at Katrina. 1"What's that look...?"
* Angela blinks and steps back, staring, she then turns to look at Megumi.
* Megumi holds a stack of papers in her left hand, gesturing, saying nothing.
<Angela> "What?"
<Megumi> You never know when these might be useful to a technologically-inclined person like yourself.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nothing.
* Angela walks over and looks at them.
* Megumi hands her the letter, with some sheets she added in the kitchen. Some of the more basic words, and both Erevis and Megumi Zhenmei are set aside, attributing their Famfrit and Basic counterparts.
<Megumi> Given some time, I could figure this out, so I know you can. I will wait until I attend earthling's school to learn properly, however.
<Angela> "What exactly are these?" *she looks through them*
<Megumi> The parts of Famfrit that anyone should have to worry about, I wiped out, but you never know when someone particularly crafty might use them, such as the dark ones or someone like that fox woman, or they rebuild and try again. It would be infinitely helpful to learn the language and spread it through EarthGov.
<Megumi> In a best-laid scenario, perhaps it could even improve your standing with them after all that has happened, but I doubt it. You like being helpful though, so I am sure you will manage to put it to some use.
<Megumi> If you need help deciphering parts, I can always read it aloud, but I cannot write the basic equivalents, obviously, so when I am not around, just consider it a puzzle.
<Angela> "Alright."
* Megumi glances past her, finishing up the punching bag's repairs. 1"Take it easy, would you? Miss knight is far more forgiving than me, so I doubt you will have any problems with her-- Just try to forgive her in turn, okay?"
* Angela looks at the punching bag. "In this head are two minds, that of a girl who never had a mother and always wanted one, and another that understands she was made into a Dragoon for the sole purpose of defeating and killing Ariel Knight."
<Megumi> That is fine. It is your life, so you choose what you want to do.
<Angela> "Looking back on everything that's happened, culminating with what she did to Zephyr... it's hard."
<Megumi> As much as I might like for it to be, it was not incorrect what you two said, but it was incredibly rash. Perhaps with a little more clairvoyance next time you can see eye to eye.
<Angela> "Maybe."
<Megumi> The words did not harm me so much as watching you do shriek at one another like alien birds of prey. Must be a dragoon thing.
<Megumi> <Chii> "Eh... Hmm.." 6She pouts visibly.
<Angela> "I just choose to no longer be a black sheep of an unwanting family."
<Megumi> So do so, that has little to do with yelling at one another.
* Megumi crosses her arms. 1"If you are more mature than me, act like it, right?"
* Angela turns and shifts her body, swinging her fist, it connects with the bag, the bag flies a little with her fist, bending in two before flopping back in place.
<Angela> "Not so sure I am."
<Megumi> You seem nice enough to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles a bit, closing her eyes, though clearly not asleepp
* Angela sighs softly. "I suppose..."
<Megumi> 6* Chii shuffles closer, staring with a protruded lip and folded ears.
<Megumi> Hey, I have a wild animal in me.
* Megumi eyes Angela. 1"At least you have company. Play nice with one another or something."
<Megumi> If she gets out of line, tell her to shut the hell up.
<Megumi> Or if you ever need a sparring partner, bring her out and I will be more than happy to vent.
* Megumi grins slightly, a mischievous expression she has lacked for some time.
* Angela smiles. "Angela can at times be a bit of a bitch, but she's harmless save in words."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina bites her protruded lip.
<Megumi> 6Chii eeks, flailing slightly.
<Megumi> One other thing...
<Angela> "Yes?"
<Megumi> Tell Mister Jones a comedian he is not.
* Angela shrugs and delivers another powerful punch to the bag.
<Megumi> No, that is not right.
<Megumi> Tell him his humor sucks.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets her go
* Megumi nods more confidently.
<Megumi> 6Chii curls back and pounces on Katrina.
<Megumi> That a sappy furball like him should stop being the ladies' man he is not and accept what is right in front of him, because it is all he is going to get, and perhaps it is not as bad as it seems.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is pounched onto the bed. She opens her eyes and smiles. "Okay. You win. Now what?"
<Megumi> 6<Chii> Eh...? Well...
<Megumi> 6Chii looks puzzled, but nods to nothing in particular. She reaches out and brings Katrina's arms over her head, holding them at the wrists as she leans in and stares into her eyes in a dazed manner. 1"Hmmm..."
<Megumi> Or something like that. Whatever.
* Megumi rubs her head. 1"You are easier to give things to."
* Megumi grumbles in frustration.
<Megumi> Tell him he is annoying as hell and I am going home and winning Erevis over so that I can flaunt it in his face before his retarded intelligence rubs off on me.
<Megumi> Hrmph.
<Megumi> Yeah, that. He will understand.
* Angela smiles
<Angela> "I don't think I can tell him that."
<Megumi> Why not?
* Angela punches the bag again, hard.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina struggles slightly, but doesn't actually try to get free.
<Angela> "He won't realise it even if I do."
<Megumi> 6Chii kisses her awkwardly, driving her knee between Katrina's to get them apart. She seems lost for the most part, her eyes looking around and focusing intently, much too intently.
<Megumi> Probably not.
<Megumi> Fine, just tell him he is a moron and I will take his faulty opinions into consideration.
* Angela kicks into the bag, the sound of impact is visible, she really needs a stronger one.
<Angela> NRP: And yes, I meant that exactly as it was written.
* Megumi whistles. 1"Hey that is interesting."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Chii, complying so far. Though, she's a sneaky cat. Who knows when she'll do something.
* Megumi walks in a bit. 1"But you know, you should really pay attention to something..."
<Megumi> Here, try to hit me like that.
<Megumi> 6Chii doesn't seem to know what to do next, but then grins cheshirely. After a moment Katrina can feel tickling on the inside of either thigh. Chii resorts to tickling her with her tail.
* Angela looks at her, then she moves, the kick is swift, she's been trinaing it hard lately, going for her chest.
* Megumi doesn't make much move, just twisting her torso slightly, rather than block or dodge entirely, her right hand swipes up, fist half-open, striking above the ankle wither her palm to deflect the attack and divert its momentum only a slight angle away.
* Angela spins with the movement, her foot hitting gorund as her other foot swings in at her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jerks, not expecting that. "I-"
* Megumi leans back slightly, her left palm reaching up to meet close to the same time as it would hit, knocking the kick just high enough to miss her, not interupting the momentum much at all.
<Megumi> <Chii> Yes...? Hee hee...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> N-No fair. 6* She squirms a bit more. "Ni-Nice"
<Megumi> 6Chii leans down, giggling and begins nipping at her neck, continuing to hold her down and tickle.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sneaks into the training room to make a brief cameo.
<Megumi> Come on, is that all?
* Angela leaps down and sweeps at her legs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squirms a bit now under Chii, shifting her head to the side as she's nipped
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Megumi gives a a slight hop, just barely enough to clear the sweep, smiling. She still makes no counterattack.
* Angela grins a little, her other leg kicking up at her along the same path, a hidden scissor kick.
* Megumi reaches back with her foot, since she barely left any clearance and actually uses Angela's first leg as a stepping stone, bringing her free foot up to press off of the incoming knee, planning to land afterwards.
<Megumi> I may have been living quietly at Erevis', but it has not all been spent entirely on fawning, see, do you get it yet?
* Angela skids her fott along the ground adn comes back up in a crouching position.
* Marcus` has joined #taw
<Megumi> 6Chii brings her knee up as the method of choice, raising her face to kiss Katrina again, watching her expression with interest, bringing one hand away from Katrina's arms to reach down and rub the outside of her leg.
<Megumi> At least you did not try to punch me.
* Megumi puts her hands on her hips and leans forward slightly. 1"Do you understand yet what the purpose of this style is?"
<Angela> "My punches are weaker and slower then my kicks, my body is not built for them. Your style is defense."
<Megumi> Wrong.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's breathing begins to quicken noticely and she returns the kiss, her face twisting with a look of desire again, her cheeks taking on a blush
<Megumi> This style is something you should seriously consider thinking about conceptually for yourself.
<Angela> "Oh?"
<Megumi> Just because I chose not to attack does not mean I could not. You remember how much force I can generate, right?
<Megumi> <Chii> Mmm, I like when you're in control, but that's a nice face.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Haaa. 6* She peers back at Chii. "I think you learn...haa...too fast."
<Angela> "I'm aware."
<Megumi> 6Chii just grins, in absolute new discovery bliss. 1"Well, then I suppose you'll have to learn better ways of stopping me when I misbehave!"
<DeathStar> <Drake> You should use swords.
<Megumi> 6Chii leans in and presses a bit more aggressively, drawing her nails along Katrina's leg lightly.
<Megumi> Eh, that is not my point, Mister Drake.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *sulks*
<Angela> "Swords are my strong point, we'll humor her."
<Megumi> See, what I was trying to get her to realize is... I have no need to fear her if I already know I can break her, but why waste the effort or energy fighting her when I can turn her own against her?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jumps a bit under Chii's touch, unable to stop herself. She bites her own lip.
<Megumi> I have been developing this, in response to my attempts alleviate injuries and not run the risk of losing myself in a battle, as a minimalist technique.
* Angela seems to almost blur as she moves, her fist stopping before Megumi can even blink, right between her eyes.
* Megumi swats Angela's wrist with a rather overboard force, snapping it up. 1"Ah!"
<Megumi> Please do not do that, I cannot contain myself if you muse my instincts too much..
* Angela smiles for some reason, then Megumi feels the open palm against her tummy.
* Megumi doesn't seem to mine, pointing up to the wrist she knocked away.
<Megumi> I can survive a hit like that, but you, on the other hand, cannot use that wrist any longer.
* Angela looks at her wrist.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Swords. 6He nods sagely.
<Megumi> Earlier, rather than dodging, in a real fight I would have struck your ankles and/or knees.
<Megumi> If you punched at me, I would have deflected and drove my elbow inward toward the chest and face.
* Angela twists her wrist.
<Angela> "Seems fine to me."
* Megumi looks to Drake. 1"Is she even listening?"
* Angela looks at her. "You sure you're not overestimating yourself?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> I confess I don't get much about hand to hand. 6* He rubs the back of his head.
<Megumi> I can break a starship hull... I do not know your limits, so I am treating you as a human.
<Megumi> My object was to teach you something useful, not harm.
<Angela> "Can't break a hull on the XG29s..."
<Megumi> I have never tried.
* Angela smiles softly, some kinda pride behind whatever she meant.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I can stab things..
<Angela> "As can I Drake..."
<Megumi> Like you said earlier, your punches lack power, but you have more agility in your legs. That is correct-- But you will still lose in a battle against Mister Dias relying on that, and you will lose in a battle of weapons if parried.
<Megumi> So I developed that technique to use their own power against them. They waste time with the follow through while I use one of my more focused strikes that are scarce.
<Megumi> If you want to talk about weapons...
* Angela turns and looks at the punching bag. "Perhaps better to focus on the technique rather then boasting about your ability to crush me."
* Megumi holds out her hands, focusing, slowly fusing crystal into a practical floating armoury.
<Megumi> Take your pick.
<Angela> "making and using are two different things."
* Megumi gestures to a naginata, nodachi, gladius, longsword, dagger, katars, gauntlets.
<Megumi> I am used to using my hands and feet against even weapons.
<Megumi> But I would not make something I can not use.
* Megumi holds her hand up and forms one last, her oversized zanbato.
<Megumi> 6Chii tilts her head inward and close to Katrina's cheek, just breathing slowly across it. She shifts her body, giving her knee a bit more weight, making sure to keep her hands pinned with her left and draws circles along her lower stomache with her right.
<Megumi> But.
* Megumi holds her hands out and claps, causing all the weapons to dissolve.
<Megumi> You seem bitter, and my only intention was the first bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squirms more now, on the other end of her own torture. Her breathing picks up another notch. "Haa...I'll pay you...haa..back for this..." 6* She promises, probably already planning on how to return the favor
<Megumi> In all actuality, I am weaker than was before, but I am confident in that I know what I am capable of. If I can sort my feelings and get things settled down in my life, I will return to being the one who danced with Wind, or possibly more.
* Angela snerks a little at that.
<Megumi> It is cheating, however.
* Megumi raises a finger and waves it.
<Megumi> All of the training I do, is without my ability to manifest.
<Megumi> My strength... that focus is based on my willpower, a gift of being a Famfrit, so I do not develop or train with it. If you become accustomed to relying on something like that, it could bite you in the long run.
<Megumi> Another reason for me to develop what I have. As far as my focus strengths go... Well. That is why you got my attention.
<Angela> "I train simply to be able to protect those I care of."
* Megumi taps her lip, then turns to the punching bag, shifting her feet and holding out her hands similar to boxing, but turns her hands around and opens the palms to them.
* Megumi shifts her whole body forward and thrusts her left palm into it, causing a ripple outward. A momentary pause, she yanks her hand back and the ripple draws in on itself imploding, taking the small radius with it to non-existance.
<Megumi> As far as I am concerned, that is the only reason to.
* Megumi peers over her shoulder. 1"You heard my letter, after all."
* Angela stares at the destroued area.
<Megumi> 6Chii leans in and slips her tongue into Katrina's mouth to stop the words, reaching around to hold up one of Katrina's legs as she slides her knee upward again.
* Megumi rubs the back of one of her ears then shakes her head. 1"Well, that is the fruition of my energy conserving. I can use it for something more focused that I could not use carelessly before."
* Megumi holds out her hand and begins to rebuild the punching back. What isn't visible is that the molecules that made up the area she destroyed were scattered frenziedly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's protests are muffled quite efficently. She gasps into Chii's mouth at the same time, squirming even more
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his chin. "Fascinating. I think your designation would be Team Tank."
<Angela> "You know... I see displays of power all the time... funnily enough, it was Angela who displayed one of the most powerful, and it wasn't with a single one of her Dragoon abilties."
<Megumi> 6Chii breaks the kiss and leans back, drawing her knee away and giving a quick, light brush of her tail between Katrina's legs. 1"Hee..."
<Megumi> Hrmph, the most powerful ability in combat, is avoiding it altogether.
<Angela> "Oh I didn't say combat, just display of power."
<Angela> "With her mind, my mind, I created the Earth Fleet. Which has decimated every power it's come across."
<Megumi> Mmh, invention is a gift. That is why I took up engineering.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squirms again, biting her lip, then speaking before she can be shut up. "That tail is no fair!" 6* She doesn't seem like she minds, though
<Angela> "I guess it's my gift then."
<Megumi> It is actually why I can create this ability. I understand, better than ever, how things are made up-- And I can disassemble it just as easily.
<Megumi> 6Chii grins and lifts the leg a little higher, giving her another, more insistent flick. 1"Shh.. You're being so noisey I'm sure everyone can hear!"
* Megumi looks to Drake.
<Megumi> I would make a terrible forward.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Forward tank?
<Megumi> Mister Drake, you were not there, but ...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squirms and glares back.
<Megumi> Miss Bennet, do you recall centerpoint?
<Angela> "Vividly."
<Megumi> 6Chii, intent on being torturous for whatever sweet revenge comes later, is quite happy using the ticklish tail tip to finish Katrina off in this odd battle.
<Megumi> Very little of the blood I coughed up was from my injuries.
<Angela> "I'm aware."
<Megumi> I have weak lungs, something that even messing with my cells cannot fix permanently.
<Megumi> If I cannot use these methods to end a fight quickly and effectively... I risk harming myself.
<Angela> "No, but excersizing and the right nutrition might. THere's something to be said about the difference between hard work and raw power we've been handed.
* Megumi tilts her head at Angela. 1"I just... told you I never do actual training with my focusing."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes noises now, some of them sounding like variations of curses. She finally lays her head back, gasping and letting her breath out.
<Megumi> I was born that way. The only time it does not hinder me is when I lose myself... However, when that happens, my cells are actively rupturing, so I am no better off.
<Megumi> I have adapted.
<Megumi> In any case...
<DeathStar> 6* Drake soaks in all this valuable knowledge.
<Megumi> 6Chii retracts her hands to her face. 1"E-eek... Did I... overdo it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head. "N-No." 6* She seems to be very happy.
<Megumi> My next adversary is my most formidable.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Someone greater than this God being called wind?
<Megumi> 6Chii considers this, then looks both ways before giving her another flick.
* Megumi nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina yelps.
<Megumi> 6Chii looks smug.
<DeathStar> <Drake> My Word. What?
<Megumi> Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina mockingly tries to glare.
<DeathStar> <Drake> She is more powerful than Wind?
<Megumi> 6Chii gasps in astonishment and glares! Flick.
* Megumi gazes at Drake oddly. 1"...Not physically, no.."
<Megumi> I meant she requires the most out of me...
* Megumi sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squirms back now.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, right. Right. 6He nods. "For a minute there, I was worried that her power level was over 9000."
* Angela giggles
<Megumi> Huh?
* Megumi stares blankly.
<Angela> "Erevis has in her hands Megumi's greatest weakness."
<Megumi> 6Chii giggles and holds her hands up, wiggling her fingers with a stern look but smiling.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Megumi has a weakness?
<Megumi> I just said my lungs...
<DeathStar> <Drake> She has your lungs in her hands?
<Megumi> I ...think not..
* Megumi looks to Angela for an answer.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina scowls back now. "You just wait." 6* She is still recovering, it seems.
<Megumi> 6Chii giggles behind her hand, peering curiously with wide, entertained eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays there, unable to move. Curse her body.
* Angela sighs and runs her hand through her hair.
<Angela> "Her heart."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I see. That would be a weakness. Erevis could beat you soundly.
<Megumi> ...Oh, I see.
<Megumi> 6Chii regards her then shifts away, bouncing along on her petticoats and the likes to sit on her hands and knees at the opposite end of the bed in caution.
* Megumi nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nods sagely.
<Megumi> Now I must return to give it to her once more.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Is that strategically sound?
<Megumi> There is no strategy for love.
<Megumi> Anything goes. Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Alls fair in love and war.
* Megumi moves back and folds her hands before her, bowing.
* Angela puts the papers away in her bag, looking at Drake for a moment.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *blinks, then mimics the bow?*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina curls and uncurls her toes.
<Megumi> Thank you. I will be leaving now.
<DeathStar> <Drake> O-Okay. It was nice seeing you again!
<Megumi> Miss Bennet, keep what I have said in mind, you competitive freak.
<Megumi> 6Chii smiles. 1"Hee, you're too weak to do anything now. I win!"
* Angela giggles. "Sure thing Megumi. Now go face your greatest challenge."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wiggles her toes again, then runs her finger along her own stomach. "Oh, Chii? Come here. I think I can't sit up."
<Megumi> Eh... Yeah...
* Megumi turns slowly, not so confident about -that- and begins to leave after gathering the painting.
<Megumi> 6Chii tilts her head, blinking and scampers over in concern. 1"Ah! I didn't mean to..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina suddenly throws her leg around her, twisting to bring her onto the bed.
<Angela> "If she tosses you out, bunk here!"
<DeathStar> <Drake> ...do you think she'll succeed?
<Angela> "Maybe."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nods solemnly. "She is our last hope."
<Angela> "Erevis seems to at least sense when someone cares." *looks at Drake with a soft smile*
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm not sure. I saw her getting durnk and brawling with Theron the other day. She seems a bit cucoo.
<Megumi> 6Chii urks, falling backward with enough momentum to kick her legs up briefly. 1"...Agh!?"
<Angela> "She's Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to pin Chii.
<DeathStar> <Drake> So ... she is cucoo? 6* He tilts his head.
<Megumi> 6Chii struggles with the intensity of something that knows it's in trouble. 1"Eeep!"
<Angela> "She's a progenitor attmepting to live a human life in a human body."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina uses her legs to try to tangle Chii's, and her hands to grab Chii's hands.
<DeathStar> <Drake> So that's a nice way of saying crazy?
<Angela> "Much like how I'm a Dragoon trying to live the same way."
<DeathStar> <Drake> So you're crazy?
<Angela> "Odd, eccentric, strange, not crazy though."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Only crazy people don't think they're crazy
<Angela> "Neither do the sane."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I think I'm crazy.
* Angela yawns a bit, stretching again. "Maybe you really are then, I don't think you are."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Everyone's a little crazy, Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake smiles.
<Megumi> 6Chii fiddles, but being tangled up in petticoats and skirts, her legs are caught easily. The girl fights admidst her layers of dress, one of her hair ribbons coming lose as she claws at the bed with one free hand, the one closest to Katrina caught before she realized it.
<Megumi> <Chii> Eek, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it!
<Megumi> 6Though she giggles.
<Angela> "Then maybe I am a little."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> When I get you out of those, you're so going to regret it.
* Angela sighs softly and opens her Gi, fixing the tight tact suit a little.
<Megumi> <Chii> Hee, I'm sorry, so be gentle?
<DeathStar> <Drake> The thing we humans have to learn is to accept each other's neurosises, or avoid those that grind our crazy.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hmmm, I don't think so
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina bites Chii's neck.
<Angela> "Mmmm..."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake turns to go, throwing up a hand.
<Angela> "What?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm gonna head out.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake waves as he walks away
<Angela> "Where to?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Tonight's a full moon.
<Angela> "The wolf is already here."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm looking for the more undomesticated kind.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Angela> "Mind if I join you? I'm still intent on raising that friendship level."
<Megumi> 6Chii literally squeaks, squirming gently beneath Katrina, after all, never good to thrash with someone biting your neck.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Sure. I doubt anything interesting is happening in HQ right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tweaks her breasts through her petticoat, just to get a rise out of her. Dias would be proud of this manuever.
* Angela grabs a sword out of her large bag and a few rounds of bullets. "Alright, ;et
* Angela grabs a sword out of her large bag and a few rounds of bullets. "Alright, let's head out."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nods, moving in slow motion out of the training room with Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake dramatically has his coat swish, too
<Megumi> 6Chii squeals from Marcus' room, as if being stuck. Inside she gasps afterward, peering nervously at Katrina, holding Katrina's wrist with her last free.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Chii holding her wrist.
<Megumi> 6Chii pouts. 1"Meanie."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles devilishly. "You have so many spots I can attack." 6* She notes smugly.
<Megumi> 5Chii releases Katrina's wrist, quickly returning the favor to one of her breasts instead. 1"Hrmph!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina twitches, trying to capture the hand immediately.
<Megumi> 6Chii eeks and yanks it away, this way and that, but it is anchored to an immobile person.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina scowls, so she just bites Chii's breast - not hard, even if the petticoat is a problem
<Megumi> 6Chii shrieks lightly, wriggling against the bed. 1"I-it-tai!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smirks evilly. "Oh, I have much more planned."
<DeathStar> 6* Ominious music
<Megumi> <Chii> Tte n-nani..?!
<Megumi> 6Now she tries to get away.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs the discarded ribbon with the hand that never caught anything, and quickly ties up the hand she did catch earlier - right to the bed.
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks upward. 1"..Now -that-'s unfair..!"
* Angela is now known as Angela|Snoozing
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steals another ribbon from Chii's hair, and attempts to catch the wayward hand
<Megumi> 6Chii flails it valiantly!
<Megumi> 6Her tail curves around her waist, trying to tickle Katrina away.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses Chii on the lips, playing tongue hockey with her to distract her while she attempts to capture - then the tail strikes!
<Megumi> 6Chii freezes briefly, her eyes focusing inward on Katrina's face as she blushes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina uses this brief moment to grab the hand.
<Megumi> 6Chii frowns, mumbling incoherent nothings to Katrina's tongue, kicking her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina ties the remaining hand, and breaks the kiss.
<Megumi> <Chii> "...Wah!" 6She tugs at the ribbons. 1"Ehhh! No fair, using my own clothes..."
<Megumi> 6She glumly stares and tries to get at Katrina with her tail again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Aie! 6* She rolls off of Chii.
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks a few times, then struggles alone. She bends, lifting her legs to one, but then twitches, finding her heels ineffective at doing more than jabbing holes in the headboard rather than getting the ribbon loose.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Grr..
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina circles around, then begins to calmly remove articles of clothing from Chii, that she can without too much difficulty, considering her hands are tied up.
<Megumi> 6Chii gulps as she loses one layer of her petticoats obstructing fanservice views, jerking her legs over and wrapping around one arm. 1"...Got you!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks in surprise.
<Megumi> 6Chii yanks her down back onto the bed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey!
<Megumi> 6Her legs let go briefly, trying to encircle Katrina's shoulders to pin her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is pinned. "What is this really going to accomplish?"
<Megumi> <Chii> I don't know, but it seemed nice at the time!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina runs her hand along Chii's legs.
<Megumi> 6She giggles, then chirps, yanking her legs back.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina uses this to free herself, studying the legs as if they might be a problem
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks and retracts them and pushes to the side, as if protecting her legs, then realizes she's missing her petticoat and is wearing a skirt-- She flings her knees down quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina casually plucks two more ribbons free.
<Megumi> <Chii> H-hey! Those aren't meant for such things...!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina snatches at a foot.
<Megumi> 6Chii huffs, blowing strands of her hair out of her eyes, acking and shaking the boot.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds on as best she can, attempting to tie the foot to the bottom of the bed at an angle. Oh yes.
<Megumi> 6Chii gives Katrina a rather pathetic bronco ride, after all, it's only one skinny leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes for the last foot.
<Megumi> 6She holds it up high, waving it around, then looks at her other three limbs and just drops it, defeated with a huff.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina ties it up at another angle. She crawls onto the bed again, balancing on her knees.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs Chii's skirt and slides it down.
<Megumi> 6Cheer peers at Katrina and wiggles against the ribbons. 1"Ehh!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ehh?
<Megumi> <Chii> Don't stare, it's embarrasing..." 6She lies there, looking almost vulnerable with her skirt yanked down slightly.
<Megumi> 6When suddenly the tail strikes once more!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gasps in surprise. "Hey!"
<Megumi> <Chii> Take that, and that and that!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squirms, attempting to grab the tail.
<Megumi> 6Chii would give the equivalent of a sweatdrop expression.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina the # expression!
<Megumi> 6Chii forces a corner of her lips to smile, laughing nervously.
<DeathStar> 6* Moments later, the tail is ribbon tied, too
<Megumi> <Chii> Ah... did I mention I was kind of tired? You know, long day, eventful and all..
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, really? I suppose I could go to sleep....leave you there.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays down beside Chii, putting an arm around her.
<Megumi> 6Chii squints slightly. 1...Argh!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks catty.
<Megumi> <Chii> H-hidoi..!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses Chii's cheek, her hand running up her upper thigh. "Cruel? I'm cruel?"
<Megumi> 6Chii glances at her, gasping slightly, her legs squirming. 1"..Ano..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well? 6* She trails her hand a little higher up.
<Megumi> 6Chii winces. 1"I-iiya! N-no."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses Chii's collar bone as she toys with her thigh.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You mean that?
<Megumi> 6Chii lifts her chin a bit, gulping again as she looks downward. 1"...N-no.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No? 6* She pouts her lips out, being more direct now with her toying.
<Megumi> 6Chii, clearly confused by the turn, struggles against her ankles. 1"I-I mean hai!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If I'm too rough, let me know. 6* She whispers into Chii's ear.
<DeathStar> 6* Ominious music.
<Megumi> 6Chii blinks! She nods slowly, though.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pinches Chii.
<Megumi> <Chii> Ah!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, with her free hand, pulls out some sex toy she found somewhere - in this place, there's numerous suspects.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...What's that?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, let me show you. 6* She does. By demonstrating it on Chii herself.
<Megumi> 6Chii flails, likely squealing throughout the house again in alarm.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sighs as she tries to color.
<Megumi> 6Lilith is no doubt hiding under Raquel's bed, afraid of poltergeists.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't let up even after Chii is quite clearly exhausted - flick her repeatedly, will you? But she finally does stop.
<Megumi> 6Chii pants, her chest rising and falling in laboured breaths.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses Chii on the chin. "I win." 6* She unties her protogey
<Megumi> 6Her eyes closed, she gasps. 1"...Y-y-you... w-win..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina snuggles her, closing her eyes. So far, she's managed to forget about Shiva's death for a while. Another day, as O'Hara would say.
<Megumi> 6Megumi returns home!
<DeathStar> -END-
