<DeathStar> Stardate: Shortly after Episode 2
<DeathStar> Location: The Woods
<DeathStar> 6* The team has arrived at the top secret military fortress of Warren Carmichael - a shack in the woods.
* Marcus` blinks, staring ahead. "...you serious?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Oooh, homey.
<Kit> <Freyja> Ahh, it feels great to be out with nature again...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the cabinets, then sneezes from the dust cloud.
* Jennifer` looks around at the trees, looking out of place and lost. "Always wanted to go camping on Earth..."
<Kit> 6Chii observes Katrina, then sighs. 1"Mataku, it'd be far more comfortable on Cassandra's bed than a wooden floor..."
* Marcus` slowly looks around the shack. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes a rocking chair coated in grime, then opts to stand. Even she can be girly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a vicodin due to all their bitching
<SPoC> I kinda like it. 6She crosses her arms.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think my lungs are closing off from the dust. 6* She wheezes
* Jennifer` looks about and starts inspecting the place. "We should clean up..."
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts around, peering at the floor. "You should step outside and gather some fresh air."
<Kit> 6Chii slides over and clasps her hand over Katrina's mouth-- It almost looks like a kidnapping scene. 1"You shouldn't breathe directly then!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes to respond about it being cold outside, but she's mmphed by Chii
<Marcus`> Well anyway. We're here. Now what?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits down in the grime filled rocking chair. "We take a moment to rest."
<SPoC> <SPoC> I like that. 6She glances around at the cabin.
<SPoC> NRP: Shack.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the dust again, curling her lips
<Kit> 6Freyja sets her hands behind her head and floats along the air behind Warren as if she were in an unseen hammock. She looks comfortable.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes more mmphs sounds.
<Marcus`> ...she needs to breath, Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii spreads her fingers. 1"I... I know!"
<Marcus`> NRP: breathe
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out his datapad, checking information
<Marcus`> Good, cause it didn't seem like you did. *he peers around sits down in a dusty wooden chair.*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Can you let me go?
<SPoC> <Dias> So what's there to do for fun?
<Kit> 6Chii looks offended, but releases Katrina, crossing her arms defensively of her decision.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sneezes promptly again
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ignores Dias.
* Jennifer` clears a spot on the floor and puts a blanket out from her bag, sitting on it.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You could go play in an open field.
<SPoC> <Dias> We're in the woods.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I know. *he stares at Dias*
<Kit> <Freyja> Leave your belongings here and climb the tallest mountain nearby. It would be good training.
<SPoC> <Dias> THan why would you say something like that if you already know we're in the woods?
<Marcus`> <Theron> I wonder.
<SPoC> 6SPoC pulls out her rifle and moves over to the table and sits down. She begins to disassemble and reassemble it
<Kit> 6Freyja covers her mouth, giggling as she looks toward Theron.
* Marcus` pauses and starts hacking, apparently he inhaled some dust.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is holding her breath, her arms crossed
<Marcus`> ...jesus...christ...*he clutches onto his chest*
<Kit> <Chii> Mou...!" 6She turns and makes for the exit.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Marcus. 1"If you die I get your stuff."
<Marcus`> What stuff? I don't have anything anymore.
<SPoC> <Dias> Good point.
<Marcus`> If you die, I get that sword. *he points*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts a cloth over her mouth
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, that'll be the day. 6He just laughs
<Marcus`> Oh I have plans. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is still not breathing
<SPoC> <Dias> Well it's a good thing I know the people you'd hire to off me and they like me better.
* Jennifer` appears to be meditating.
<Marcus`> Only because you are their supplier. *he makes a face*
<SPoC> <Dias> Sometimes you have to smash a couple eggs to make toast.
<Marcus`> ...And omelet.
<Marcus`> NRP: an*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up and moves to a back room.
<Marcus`> *Theron watches him walk off, glancing around at the others.
* SPoC stretches and an energy clip goes flying towards Jen's head
<SPoC> <Dias> Sure you can have an omelot. 6He shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina finally sits down, rubbing her arm.
<Marcus`> ...you're annoying.
<SPoC> <Dias> Sometimes.
<Kit> 6Chii stands outside, and after a while begins shouting random things. 1"Suiton! Katon! ...Ni rengeki!"
<SPoC> 6Dias glances towards the door an odd look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at the window.
* SPoC glances outside. 1"Can I kill her for giving away our location?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No
<Marcus`> ...so. *he pauses and shrugs.* Ask Warren.
<SPoC> Oh, ok. 6She smiles and goes back to reassembling her gun
* Marcus` rubs his face. "How long are we resting exactly?"
<Kit> 6Chii appears to be practicing her elemental abilities on a larger, rounded rock she's rolled off a bit from the shed.
<Kit> <Freyja> Until a move presents itself? Warren seems like that kind...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl remains quiet, still not having taken a breath for over seven minutes
<SPoC> 6Dias peers infront of Cheryl, eyeing her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers back.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances around, and then shifts off to find Warren, moving for that back room.
<DeathStar> 6* The back room is empty.
<SPoC> 6Dias begins making faces
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances around the room, looking for anything out of place.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares a moment, then just punches him in the face.
<DeathStar> 6* A bed, a dresser, and a closet.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps over and opens the closet.
<SPoC> 6Dias' head snaps back, he takes several steps back then grabs his face, rubbing it furiously
<DeathStar> 6* It's empty.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes back to looking bored.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and steps back, glances around, he shifts to poke his head into the main room. "I believe there might be more to this shack than meets the eye."
<Kit> <Chii> Hyoton, Katon, Fuuton. San renge--kyaa! I-ta-ta-ta! Itai! Ow, son of a bitch!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... ... 6* She just eyes Theron.
<SPoC> <Dias> There another room? 6He sniffles as he rubs his nose
<Marcus`> <Theron> Warren went into this back room, yet he isn't here any longer.
* SPoC looks over at Kat. 1"Can I atleast knock her out?
* Jennifer` sits up rubbing her head, shaking it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No
* Marcus` glances up, then looks around at everyone. "Think Warren left us here?"
* SPoC sighs then and she sets her rifle against the table
<Kit> <Freyja> I suppose she wears armor for a reason. So violent.
<Kit> 5Freyja floats over toward Theron, then ambles around to have a look for herself.
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes them not seeming to care and just moves back into the room, inspecting for any hidden switches.
* SPoC looks at Jen and just shakes her head. She hops out of the chair and stretches.
* Jennifer` looks over at SPoC and shakes her head back.
<Marcus`> *Theron looks up to Freyja only briefly before moving back to the closet to tap the wall, to see if it hollow.
<DeathStar> 6* There doesn't appear to be hidden switches that are so easily noticeable that one can just say they're looking for hidden switches. However, a specific command like tapping gives off a hollow sound.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and slides his hand slowly around the inside of the closet, searching for a switch that he hopes will reveal a hidden area.
<SPoC> 6Dias happy with his face now claps his hands together and leans backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron finds a trigger switch and the wall slides up and reveals stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Going down.
<Marcus`> *Theron smiles slightly and motions to Freyja. "Inform the others." He then vanishes down the steps.
* Jennifer` leans back and sighs gently.
<Kit> 6Freyja angles her head to the side, then looks a bit annoyed. She forces herself to peer her head around the corner. 1"There's a hidden room. See you later
<Kit> 6Then turns and floats after Theron curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just remains where she's at.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hidden room? Bah, that's so cliche.
* Jennifer` doesn't move, rolling her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hops to her feet and hurries off to see.
<Kit> 6Chii re-enters the shack in time to see Katrina ambling off and whines slightly, following as she waves her slightly singed hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron finds himself in a small underground bunker with weapons stockpiled and a computer. Warren has his datapad plugged in.
* Marcus` stands up. "Hey. Hidden rooms are sweet." He moves off after Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Chii goes, and wonders what is up with animal people.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances around, then looks to Warren. "I believe I may have ruined your chance of peace and quiet." He notes with a slight frown.
<SPoC> 6SPoC stretches and moves outside, looking around, wearing a loose shirt and loose green fatigues.
<DeathStar> <Warren> That's because you're a dumbass.
<Jennifer`> "Cheryl... what did we get into now?"
<Kit> 6Freyja giggle quietly behind her hand, levitating a bit to the right, peering over Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You are incorrect. *he shits to glance at a gun*
<SPoC> 6Dias studies Cheryl than moves about two steps to her side and stands like her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then why are you shitting on your gun?
* Jennifer` shrugs a bit and looks up.
<Marcus`> NRP: LOL!
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up from looking at a pistol. "Excuse me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, having said nothing, ignores Theron.
<Marcus`> *Theron simply shrugs and looks back at the gun. "Any word of if Erevis and those that went with her are alright?"
<Marcus`> NRP: on*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't respond.
* SPoC moves over to a tree and begins climbing up it.
<Kit> <Freyja> What -are- you doing, Warren...?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes Cheryl
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see. *he simply nods*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm trying to figure out who gave the order for our deaths.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pokes her head over Freyja's shoulder.
* Jennifer` gets up, stepping outside.
<Kit> 6Chii erks and stays away from Freyja, who gives Katrina a sidelong glance and moves a bit so Katrina can see. 1"Ah, sou ka. That seems interesting enough. Any ideas?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing.
* Marcus` slides up behind Katrina and pauses, glancing around. "..." he slowly moves to look for a shotgun.
* SPoC reaches as far up as can go and she stands on the branch, glancing around.
* Jennifer` looks up into the trees again, spotting SPoC.
<DeathStar> 6* There are indeed shotguns there.
* Marcus` looks through them and then picks one, lifting it up. "Can I have?"
* SPoC squats on the branch as she stares.
<DeathStar> <Warren> For 1,200 credits.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren unplugs his datapad finally.
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
<Marcus`> Oh come'on, i'm fighting for you, my life should be enough payment.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your life isn't really worth that gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks back upstairs to the shack.
<Marcus`> ...he's mean. *he says to Katrina, frowning*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think he likes you
<Marcus`> Well of course he doesn't. Oh I know. You should ask for it, and then give it to me later.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't use guns
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles and walks up.
<SPoC> 6Dias rolls his eyes at Cheryl.
<Jennifer`> "Why'd you climb that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares back,.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps back into the main cabin area, then taps the window to get SPoC's attention.
* SPoC glances down at Jennifer. 1"You tell me why I would climb this tree."
<Marcus`> *Theron taps his chin, then walks back upstairs holding a rifle.
* SPoC glances towards the window then drops down grabbing branches here and there to slow her fall until she lands in a crouch on the ground. She moves into the cabin
<Jennifer`> "Training?"
* Jennifer` follows her.
* SPoC just pats Jen as she walks by.
* Marcus` sighs and places the shotgun back and moves back upstairs.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her chin, eyeing all the weaponry and studies the various types to be had.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I can't get into the main archives to find out who gave the order for our deaths. So, this means we have to break into the building itself and directly hack into the terminals.
<SPoC> Oooh, sounds like fun.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Unfortunately, most of you are pretty shot up, so if you need to stay here, then do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out of the cabin.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm rested! 6He waves his hand eagerly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina swoons. "Now that's a speech I can follow."
* Cassandra` standing outside, leaning against a wall...
<Cassandra`> ...all clear out here, Warren...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just walks past Cassandra and moves over to an old van he has there.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tests her shoulder, tehn sits down. "I think I need to heal before I get hurt again."
<Kit> 6Chii eventually wanders back into the room equipped with a set of belts and semi-automatics. She peers at Katrina, holding the shotgun. 1"...He is surprisingly well-prepared for a human."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's called paranoid.
<Kit> <Chii> Paranoia is useful!
<Marcus`> *Theron moves out after Warren, resting the rifle against his shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He thinks everyone is his enemy.
<Kit> <Chii> That's a good policy, it's often true.
<Marcus`> With his attitude. I don't blame him.
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Chii, shakes her head and floats after Warren and Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina quirks a brow toward Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren climbs into the van, cranking it up.
<Marcus`> He's mean. *he frowns, moving outside now*
<Marcus`> *Theron slides into the passanger seat.
* Jennifer` heads to the van.
<SPoC> He doesn't think I'm his enemy! 6She hops and turns, moving outside
<Cassandra`> ...what's going on?
<SPoC> 6Dias puts his hand behind his head as he moves outside
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps outside and takes her first breath in 15 minutes, then gets in the van.
* Jennifer` climbs in the van with her bag
<Kit> 6Chii eyes the shotgun, then sets it against the wall. 1"I don't think I like that. It's too... restricting." 6She whips out the pistols, crossing her arms for stability. 1"I like my hands being able to move indepedently..." 6She talks to nothing in particular with a rather... large grin.
* Marcus` slides into the van finally.
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks inside the van. 1"Do you have a plan again, or is this by the seat, literally?"
* SPoC hops into the van, she slides out a small pistol. Dias climbs in.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, then begins to drive away.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks at Freyja who blinked on him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits there, peering at Chii talking to no one.
<Kit> 6Freyja peers back at Dias, then reaches up and pats him on the head. 1"I'll take that as a 'you'll figure it out as it becomes necessary.'"
<SPoC> 6Dias makes a snide face to Freyja and shoves her away
<SPoC> 6By grabbing her ass.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drives away from the shack in the woods.
<Kit> 6Freyja moves accordingly, taking a seat next to him instead, not bothered in the least. She crosses her legs and relaxes her hands behind her head. 1"You sure do make it fun, Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just peers at her
* Jennifer` shakes her head.
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles broadly back, squinting eerily like the two fox women could.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks unphased, then looks ahead
<Marcus`> Do we have any intel on this building we are going to?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems amused at something
<SPoC> Well it hear it's got atleast 4 corners.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh oh. He's almost smiling.
<SPoC> 6Dias just stares at Freyja's chest
<Marcus`> Wh...what does that mean?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It means bad things, Marcus.
<Marcus`> Wonderful.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hands Jennifer a ration.
* Jennifer` takes it and starts to eat.
* Marcus` drums his fingers on the chair.
<DeathStar> -SCENE JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drives through Tokyo; the damage from earlier is still visible.
<Marcus`> Home sweet home. *he whistles*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing to Marcus' comment.
<SPoC> 6Dias sits there, having not moved his eyes from her chest
<DeathStar> 6* Patrols fly around overhead.
<Kit> 6Freyja appears to be dozing off as she commonly does in pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans out the van to glance upward.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts glancing up at a patrol.
<SPoC> 6Dias tilts his head slightly.
<SPoC> 6SPoC glances up. 1"Well they still think we're in Tokyo.
<Marcus`> Like we'd be dumb enough to...oh wait.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And his mind finally catches up.
<Marcus`> That was my joke. Sheesh.
* Jennifer` remains quiet, watching the city go by.
* SPoC drops the energy clip out of her gun and slides it back in.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls into a parking lot finally. He pulls out his datapad, then passes it around. "This is a map of the building. What we need is the archieve room on the 17th floor. There will be about 5 security agents in the lobby, checking IDs. The rooftop will be secured with motion sensors. There's about 45 guards in the building total.
* Kit is now known as Freyja
<Marcus`> That's...alot.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not really.
* Freyja sits up with an exhilirated expression. 1"Interesting!"
* SPoC taps her fingers, probably counting.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances over the layout, then passes it on.
<DeathStar> 6* The building has 25 floors, it seems.
<Marcus`> I'm new to military ops.
* Jennifer` tucks her gun away and fixes her jacket.
<Jennifer`> "Aren't they going to be looking for us?"
<Freyja> You don't have a fake ID, do you?
<SPoC> <SPoC> That's only like 7 guards a person. This'll be a cinch.
<Freyja> Or perhaps a real one?
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'd never get past them with a fake or real.
<Freyja> I beg to differ!
<Marcus`> So. Do we just go in guns blazing?
* Freyja grins. 1"-You- wouldn't get past with a real one."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your illusions will not be effective.
<Freyja> Not that it helps you, any.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We go in with guns blazing, people are likely to get killed.
* Freyja stands and stretches, rather abrubtly looking like Cheryl.
<SPoC> Bloods hard to clean out clothing too.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ahh come on.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes his datapad back, eyeing the layout.
<Marcus`> Right. We don't do the killing thing.
* Marcus` pauses and stares down at the layout, searching for some other side entrances.
<DeathStar> 6* Yeah, right
<Jennifer`> "How many energy based guns do we have? We could set them to stunning pulses, prevent us from having to kill..."
* Freyja peers at Cheryl, then reverts to her normal self, bending to take a look as well.
<SPoC> What about from below, Warren?
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'd have to fight a building full of guards.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores Freyja.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No good.
<Freyja> Any place I could let others in from the inside itself?
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "And there isn't anyone from our group that wouldn't be pegged for kill on sight?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I already said illusions will not work.
<Freyja> I never said anything about illusions. Short distances don't phase me.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wouldn't teleport, either.
<Freyja> Oh?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Marcus. "Most likely, not. The hospital fiasco got most of our faces on file."
<Freyja> Must be a pretty important 'archive building' if it is guarded more than some country's inner treasuries.
<Marcus`> Even her? *he motions to SPoC*
<SPoC> 45 guards is nothing. 6She waves her hand dismisively
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ignores Marcus and Freyja.
* Marcus` sighs, "Well i'm not smart enough to come up with a good plan."
<Freyja> If it is as he says, there is no plan to be had.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's why he grunted earlier.
<SPoC> Well we can't go from above, what with the air patrol. 6She crosses her arms
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Freyja> Granted we know where everything is, thanks to him. Simultaneous incapacitation?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We could throw Dias at the 17th floor window.
<SPoC> Well if you think we can knock out 45 guards all at once. Plus any civilian workers.
<Marcus`> I could totally do that.
<SPoC> <Dias> Do I get to punch something?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The window.
<Freyja> Single-handedly? Not at all. Though with all the city's damage as of lately, would a power failure be out of the question? That would buy time, if not a small one.
<SPoC> <Dias> Did it ever do anything bad to me?
<DeathStar> <Warren> They have back up generators.
<Freyja> You sure this is an archive?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Freyja incredulously.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Information is power.
<Freyja> Information's useless if you're dead.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You are an idiot.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks ahead at the building again
<Marcus`> Oh thank god, he's not calling me an idiot for once.
* SPoC taps her head as she stares at the buidling, studying it
<Freyja> That's his way of showing affection, Marcus, don't let it bother you.
<SPoC> No, he really means it.
<Marcus`> ...no he called you an idiot because that was a stupid comment.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He does mean it.
<Freyja> Then he's surrounded by idiots.
<Marcus`> He is.
* Freyja smiles charmingly, and shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods his head.
<DeathStar> *her
<SPoC> I take offense to that. 6She looks at Warren. 1"And I suppose the archive system on it's own closed system."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. We have to get to the actual system itself.
<Freyja> Which, unless you'd like to share, seems impossible.
* SPoC muses as she glances at the floor plans.
<Freyja> At least, for a couple of odd entities in a van.
<Marcus`> *Theron rubs his chin. "Do we have any idea of just how tight the motion sensors are on the roof. Perhaps I can get by them?"
<SPoC> I think our only choice is a smash and grab.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You think you can climb up the building without being noticed?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "Smash and grab."
<Marcus`> <Theron> I am unsure. *he admits*
<SPoC> <Dias> I can call some favors in and have a false report of our sightings on the opposite side of the city be made.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright, we'll go in the front door. Marcus, you go in last.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You, too, Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens the van door.
<SPoC> <Dias> Why do we go last?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Because you're trip the alarms prematurely.
<DeathStar> *'ll
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh, well I can't argue with that. 6He steps out.
<Marcus`> ....yeah he's right. *he slides out*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks his guns.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Jennifer, you watch the van.
* SPoC hops out and she slides her gun in the back of her pants.
<Marcus`> *Therons shifts out, glancing around.
<Jennifer`> "Alright..."
* Freyja floats out of the van and stretches in the air, remaining behind Warren and Theron. 1"...Just... walk in, huh?"
* Jennifer` sighs and sits back, probably having known they weren't going to let her go.
<Marcus`> *Theron reaches out to give Jennifer the rifle.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you're going to float, you remain behind, too, until last.
<Freyja> <Freyja> It makes a difference?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wouldn't bother wasting energy to comment on it, if it didn't.
<SPoC> He's not lieing about that either. 6She smiles at Freyja
* Freyja drops to the ground, smiling. 1"Naruhodo, that is true."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holsters his guns, then begins to walk forward.
* SPoC walks beside Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Cameras are positioned outside the building. Warren tilts his head downward so they don't get a positive ID on him yet.
<Freyja> Sure is a nice day.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It is?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers upward.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves after Warren. He stares at the ground.
* SPoC nuzzle her head against Warren to hide her face
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl quickly looks down
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts an arm around SPoC, like they're a couple.
<DeathStar> 6* A guard is positioned at the entrance. He seems the large number of people approaching, and begins to look uneasy
* Freyja has changed, not that anyone's looked, rather than flaunting about in a short dress and waving a tail around, she looks completely human, black hair tied back tightly to match...
* Freyja well, looks like a rather unordinary business-woman, in a skirt and dress-shirt.
* Marcus` doesn't look at the camera, but plays a perfect poker face, like he's done this kind of thing before.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard goes to step forward, when suddenly alarms go off as they approach the building.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, glancing up.
* SPoC looks around.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Freyja, then grimaces.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard pulls out his weapon in a panic, fumbling.
* SPoC slides her hand behind her back and pulls her gun out, firing a stun shot for the guard
<DeathStar> 
<DeathStar> 6* The guard is hit, and falls back.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the doors begin to start sealing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> That's new.
<SPoC> 6Dias shrugs and starts running.
<SPoC> 6To catch up, since he stayed behind like told
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes forward, grabbing at the shutters as they fall. She strains.
* SPoC shrugs and moves towards Cheryl
<Freyja> They can detect that sort of thing? Odd.
* Marcus` was walking casually, not part of the group, but runs up after Dias catches up with him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. It's not.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shoots the doors open as Cheryl holds up the shutters, and rolls inside.
<Freyja> Really? Technology's always had trouble detecting things that don't really have any scientific trace.
* SPoC slides inside and sweeps her gun across
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts and nods to Cheryl, sliding inside.
* SPoC moves upto Cheryl and braces with her.
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Five guards begin to open fire at them as they come in.
* Freyja taps her lip, reverting to normal and floating backwards, watching the rear as they move along.
* SPoC turns, firing 2 quick stun shots at two of the guards
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts as he rolls to the side to avoid being vaped.
* Freyja moves to get up against the doorway's wall, not wanting to be fried.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to break out in a sweat.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts to the side, moving to fire a stun shot at a guard.
<DeathStar> 6* Three guards down.
<SPoC> <Dias> You look hot when you glisten.
* Jennifer` sits in her seat, looking about for signs of trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets go to punch Dias.
* Marcus` steps up and slides in, under Cheryl's punch.
<Freyja> We're aiming to incapacitate still, right?
<SPoC> 6Dias winces from the hit and from being the only one holding the door open now
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls and goesb ack to helping, having lost a foot with her shenigigans.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires two stun shots, taking down the last two.
* Marcus` skampers over to some hiding spot, being shot at.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves across the lobby.
* Marcus` breathes a sigh of relief.
* Freyja peers narrowly around the corner to get a feel, then with them out, follows Warren, flicking an ear.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides under the shutters and inside.
<SPoC> 6Dias leaps through as the shutters close
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves to the elevators, but finds them locked.
* SPoC moves upto Warren. 1"Stairs, they'll bottle us in.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<SPoC> Cheryl, can you pry the elevator door open?
<Marcus`> *Theron steps up to Warren. He was about to say the same at SPoC.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do I look like a tank?
* SPoC glances around then fires a shot at a nearby camera.
<Freyja> Mm, were you wishing me not to jump because of the alarm, or something else, Warren?
* Freyja steps to the side, not standing in front of the elevator, then reaches out and knocks on the doors.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This building is designed to stop special intruders.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to the elevator door and tries to pry it open.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator door laughs at his skinny white ass.
<SPoC> 6Dias grumbles at the elevator door laughign at him
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves over to the security desk in the lobby, eyeing the monitors.
* Marcus` rubs his neck, glancing around, he closes hsi eyes, listening in to see if any soldiers are rushing toward them.
<DeathStar> 6* None.
<SPoC> Well 5 down, 40 more to go.
<Marcus`> Well no one seems to be attacking us right now.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Brilliant observation.
* Freyja leans in and listens to hear if the elevator is moving-- maybe not even there.
<DeathStar> 6* No signs of any elevator movement.
<Marcus`> I thought so. I imagine they probably called in some reinforcements.
<DeathStar> <Warren> More than likely. We are on a small time table.
<Freyja> They are the home team. They can wait for help, we cannot. There is no reason for them to attack.
<SPoC> They're setting up positions at what they believe is the most important areas to trap us until reinforcements arrive.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens the stairwell door, glancing up.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very well. We'll blow the elevator doors up
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions at Dias to do his thing, then motions everyone else away from Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a long step away from Dias.
<Freyja> Is that wise? Considering all the other precautions and defenses, how could they overlook simply having control over the elevator's position in an emergency?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Sometimes it's the little things, and faith.
* Marcus` stands back, crossing his arms.
<SPoC> 6Dias smiles and claps his hands together. As black begins to creep up along his neck. He holds his hand out, as dark energy begins to gather around it. He then holds his palm out at the door and releases a Dark Beam into it
* Freyja pauses for once, then moves away. 1"That's creepy coming from you.
<DeathStar> 6* Sirens can be heard in the distance from Jennifer's position.
<Jennifer`> "Not good..."
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator door is slowly destroyed. Suddenly, machine guns lower from the ceiling and pillars, and open fire at Dias.
* Jennifer` looks for a comms.
<DeathStar> 6* And suddenly her van is lifted up in the air.
<SPoC> 6Dias freaks and begins runing around frantically.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The elevator, focus on the elevator!
* Jennifer` looks around, opening the door to jump out.
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer lands. Legion stands there, and swings the van for her.
* Freyja aims while Dias is the focal point, locks and releases light arrows for the guns.
<SPoC> <Dias> MACHINE GUNS! 6He fires a dark beam shot here and there
<DeathStar> 6* The guns focus on Freyja, and open fire.
* Jennifer` runs as fast as she can, and doesn't stop.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion throws the van at Jennifer.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches the chaos.
<SPoC> 6Dias holds his second hand up and fires two dark beams into the elevator door
* Freyja rolls along the ground and around the corner to the lobby open.
* Jennifer` leaps to the side and rolls as the van nears her.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors are destroyed, revealing the shaft.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts and makes a break for the shaft now.
<DeathStar> <Legion> Are predictable as the flow of time, here you runts are.
* Freyja peers around. 1"We've been shafted."
<SPoC> 6Dias lowers his hands as the dark begisn to retreat from his face
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets into the shaft, then looks up, seeingn o sign of the elevator. She begins to climb.
* Jennifer` doesn't stop to listen, she keeps running.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion appears in front of Jennifer, having teleported.
* SPoC leaps in after Cheryl and begins climbing up.
* Jennifer` acks and runs in the other direction.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion grabs her, lifting her up.
* Marcus` pats Dias on the back. "Good job." He throws him forward to get the guns to lock onto him
* Jennifer` struggles, shaking. "P-Please... no!"
<DeathStar> <Legion> Do you know your fate, Jennifer Carmichael?
<DeathStar> <Legion> I do. I know all your fates.
<Jennifer`> "N-No... I don't wanna know!"
<DeathStar> 6* Legion gathers a dark beam in his hand.
<DeathStar> <Legion> Allow me to tell you that Cassandra Arakawa and Setsuna Asahi will not arrive in time to save your life.
* Marcus` shifts and moves for the elevator shaft now.
<Jennifer`> "S-Screw that..."
* Jennifer` struggles, kicking out.
<SPoC> 6Dias hops in after Marcus and begins climing up
* Freyja peers around again to see if the guns are still going to fire at her if she tries to venture toward the elevator shaft.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is unphased.
* Jennifer` tries to get her gun out.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining guns are indeed targetting her.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion fires his beam into her hand, destroying it completely.
* Marcus` begins to climb up after Dias.
* Freyja sighs slightly. 1"Well, seeing as I'm not bulletproof and unable to jump here, you guys just go on ahead..."
* Jennifer` screams in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion holds her up higher, laughing.
* Jennifer` starts to cry, shaking. "N-No... no more..."
<Jennifer`> "SOMEONE HELP ME!"
<DeathStar> 6* Legion gathers another energy beam in his hand, then aims for Jennifer's face.
* Jennifer` struggles, trying to free herself desperately.
* Freyja peers upward slightly, rubbing her ear, then gets up and moves quickly for the exit, following the wall out of the gun's viewpoints.
<DeathStar> <Legion> You weren't suppose to die here today, but something tells me, I can alter time.
<Jennifer`> "Y-You jerk... you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches the 17th floor in good time.
* Jennifer` cries, struggling more.
<DeathStar> <Legion> Time is a river that can be changed to one's will.
* Freyja peers around the lobby wall toward the exit.
<DeathStar> 6* The guns are sad they cannot see Freyja
<SPoC> 6SPoC moves as fast as she can, trying to keep up with Cheryl.
<Marcus`> *Theron is right behind SPoC.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs Freyja and yanks her into the stairwell.
* Freyja blinks a few times, glancing toward the side at Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I hate climbing.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes the stairs.
<Freyja> I would imagine so. Did you hear something?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hear what?
* Freyja ponders then shrugs. 1"Probably nothing."
<DeathStar> 6* Cops pull up around the building, and aim at Legion and Jennifer.
<Cassandra`> 6* A rail gun shot tears at Legion's flank.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit, and actually drops Jennifer as he goes flying.
* Jennifer` lands with a grunt and rolls, running in teh opposite direction of Legion, holding the stub that was her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to pry open the doors to floor 17
<DeathStar> 6* Legion stands up, healing his wound.
* Freyja follows Warren swiftly, when not floating, she seems to share Chii's pension for dancing feet.
<DeathStar> <Legion> No. On time. ALWAYS ON TIME!
<DeathStar> 6* Legion grabs his head and howls.
<Freyja> Did you use the others to thin out the concentration of guards?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Cassandra`> Calvary is here. *chambers another round and then aims at Legion* This one is just for you...HEAP round. *fires*
<Freyja> Heh, you are smart.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit again, sent flying into a cop car. He grabs it and hurls it at Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Legion> I ripped you to pieces once, and I'll do it again!!!
* Cassandra` jerks up her other hand, firing an explosive shell into the car
* Freyja rubs her ear. "Sure is a lot of noise outside. What kind of information might we obtain here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the doors to floor 17, and sees 15 guards aiming at her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everything.
* Jennifer` backs away behind other targets and shakes, holding her arm, staring at her missing hand.
<Freyja> Surely not just the identity of our executioner. You might have waited longer for that...
<SPoC> How's it look?
<DeathStar> 6* The car explodes in mid-air.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Um...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches floor 17, listening with his ear pressed against the door.
<SPoC> That bad huh?
<DeathStar> 6* The cops open fire into LEgion.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion howls in anger, then vaporizes every last one of them with a dark beam.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna stands a bit off to the side. "You know... there was something I wanted to try before, but never got a chance." *clicks an antidarkone grenade she saved into her gun, and fires it at Legion*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Uh...
<Marcus`> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens the door and tosses a flash grenade at the 15 guards from the side. It goes off.
* Cassandra` fires another rail gun shot at Legion's head.
<Cassandra`> Fall back!
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit by the grenade, then hit in the head. He goes flying into the archieve building
* SPoC eyes the huge flash above her. 1"That's our signal Cheryl.
* Jennifer` looks around, scavenging for a comms to alert the others despite the blinding pain in her arm.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hurry up up there!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes forward, blinded ab it, and begins to use her whip to take out weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires with his stun setting.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets herself to some cover, because otherwise, she's a sitting duck
* Freyja covers her eyes with her arm, and after the flash, holds out her hands, aiming for guards furthest from the other group, sending lower powered arrows, assuming they're still going for KOs not kill points.
* SPoC climbs up and leaps over to the edge and pulls herself in. She fires stun shots at the guards
* Cassandra` moves for cover as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion howls in anger, stumbling. "There's no where you can go that I won't be there."
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts up and begins to fire with a stun setting, moving in to get in hand to hand distances.
<Cassandra`> *comm* Team, we got Legion. I repeat, we got Legion.
<DeathStar> <Legion> Your future is my history!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his comm, then clicks in. "Repeat that.""
<Jennifer`> "Screw you!"
<Freyja> Legion, hrmph.
<Cassandra`> *comm* We got Legion pissed off here!
<Jennifer`> "My goddamned hand!"
* Marcus` lifts himself up and glances around, then walks up and punches a disoriented guard.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Bah! We've screwed with the timeline before, we can do it again."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Continuality can bite me!"
* Freyja continues locking and firing lighter concussion versions of her arrows at the farthest from other people, so if they overcome disorientation there's less to deal with.
<SPoC> 6Dias lands on the floor and desperately looks for someone to punch
<DeathStar> 6* Legion vanishes suddenly.
<DeathStar> 6 The guards are left in a pile.
<Cassandra`> *comm* ...he's gone...disappeared right in front of me...
* Freyja dusts her hands up. 1"There we are."
<SPoC> 6Dias growls and punches Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves foward, heading for the terminals. "All of you, get out and assist Arakawa."
* Jennifer` walks over to Cassandra, shaking. "Th-tHank you Miss... Arakawa..."
* Marcus` pauses and pushes Dias for the elevator shaft.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks around for Legion.
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks then suddenly falls down the shaft.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion suddenly grabs Setsuna and Jennifer in one swoop, lifting them both up
<DeathStar> <Legion> Who will you save, Arakawa?!"
<Marcus`> We're on it. *he jumps and grabs the wire, sliding down it*
* Jennifer` screams in fear, struggling. "L-Lemme go!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks visual back into her eyes.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna winces.
* SPoC moves towards the window and looks to see if she can get a lock on Legion from the window
<DeathStar> 6* Legion can be seen, but he's got two women in his grasps.
* Freyja turns and exits, leaping down several floors at a time as she rebounds from the sides of the staircase-- Not wanting to be shot at leaving the elevator.
<SPoC> He's got two woman in his grasps and I can't make a shot from here.
* Cassandra` slaps her hand against Legion's arm and then detonates the directed microexplosives she left on his arm.
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns. "And I left my rifle with the little one."
<DeathStar> 6* Legion pulls Setsuna onto the explosion
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is also blasted away, though
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs the elevator cable and begins squeeling down the cable as smoke rises from his gloves
<DeathStar> 6* He takes Jennifer with him.
<Cassandra`> ...that stung...got him to let go though.
<SPoC> I'll cover your back Warren. 6She moves in after him
* Jennifer` screams again, struggling.
* Freyja lands swiftly at ground level, then dashes for the exit.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna hits the ground, coughing. Crushed throats aren't fun...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works on using his Carmichael program to hack.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion rises again.
<Marcus`> *Theron ninja vanishes, yay.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...medic..."
<SPoC> 6Dias swings into the lobby and moves for the shutters. 1"...Dude, shutters!"
* Jennifer` pulls at Legion's fingers, trying to get loose.
* Marcus` jumps out running, "Legion made a hole!"
* Cassandra` then twists her arns, flinging several monomolecular wires around the arm holding Jennifer and then pulling to slice through.
<DeathStar> 6* The wires break.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion laughs. "Oh, ha ha ha...that old move again?"
* Freyja floats after Marcus, surveying the situation.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion throws Jennifer at Cassandra.
<SPoC> <Dias> SWEET! 6He moves out after Marcus
* Jennifer` is cushioned by a Cassandra panding pad.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus and Dias leap into the shutters
<SPoC> 6Dias slams into Marcus who slams into the shutters
<SPoC> 6Dias stumbles back.
* Marcus` pauses. "Ok. So I think i've been into Pope's brownies."
* Cassandra` rolls with Jennifer and then back on to her feet.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna thinks Jennifer for the better deal.
<Cassandra`> Setsuna, start running! *takes off*
<SPoC> <Dias> Dude, use the Ripple blade. 6He stumbles again
* Freyja pauses behind them, then frowns, concentrating slightly. Rather than outright jumping, slowly sees what kind of resistance she meets.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna nods and does her best to get the fuck away from that thing.
<Marcus`> I know, I know. *he pulls out the blade and shoves it forward, aiming to cut a hole so they can help*
<DeathStar> 6* Legion stalks Setsuna, who can't move that fast after being blown up.
<DeathStar> 6* They demolish the shutter.
<Marcus`> Eat that, shutter! *he steps out*
<SPoC> Dias hops out behind Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Legion> Running out of time.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion reaches down to grab Setsuna
* Cassandra` turns, pulling n assult weapon and rapid firing at Legion.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is shot several times.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna drops to the ground and fires up at Legions face
* Freyja shakes her head, then speedily floats beyond the two-- Then quickly to the side, exclaiming sharply at stray auto-fire bullets.
<SPoC> <Dias> Fast ball special Marcus. 6He runs along side him
* Marcus` breaks into a run. "Fine, fine. But who's the ball?"
<Cassandra`> Girl, can you move?! *addressing Jennifer*
<SPoC> <Dias> Me of course. 6He smiles cockily.
* Jennifer` whimpers and runs with her.
<Jennifer`> "S-Sorry kinda freaked out!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps out the 17th floor window.
<Marcus`> Good. *he grips onto Dias and begins to tense, shifting and growing into a half-werewolf as he spins to throw Dias towards Legion*
<SPoC> So when do we get to hug like that again?
<Cassandra`> Keep running... *stops and turns, chambering a round in the rail gun ad then lining up a shot at Legion, pulling the tripper*
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna rolls to the side, wincing as she does, and gets to her feet.
<SPoC> 6Dias is spun around by Marcus, black creeping up along his face again.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit again.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion reachesb ehind him, yanks Dias out of the air, and hurls him upward at Cheryl.
<Cassandra`> Setsuna, move!
<DeathStar> 6* And never touches him.
<SPoC> <Dias> AIIEEEEE!! 6He struggles to try and regain direction as he goes flying through the air
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slams into Dias.
* Marcus` comes full werewolf as he moves in, jumping at Legion.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion turns to face Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Warren> got the information.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren unplugs.
* Freyja blinks to Setsuna, then then huffs and jumps again to get the two away from Legion.
<SPoC> And not a moment too soon.
* Marcus` swings his claws forward, biting out for Legion's neck.
<Cassandra`> *comm* Marcus and Dias have engaged Legion. We have wounded.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion grabs Marcus, rips his arm off, and tosses him side.
* Marcus` releases a yelp very much like a dog would, and slides along the ground.
* Freyja squints slightly. 1"I'm not sure I can fix that."
* Freyja turns to study Setsuna. 1"Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Legion holds his arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Dias land elsewhere.
<Marcus`> *Theron, after fiding his rifle, takes aim and fires for Legion's arm. A nice distance from the battle.
<SPoC> Dias howls in pain as Cheryl lands on ihm
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit in the arm.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...do I fucking well look okay...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works his way down the building
* Cassandra` moves over to grab Setsuna.
<Freyja> We have more pressing matters than frustration.
<Marcus`> <Theron> ... *he shifts to fire for Legion's arm.*
* SPoC follows along side him
<DeathStar> <Legion> I will make this your graves.
<Cassandra`> We're pulling out...
* Freyja allows Cassandra to take Setsuna from her.
<Marcus`> NRP: eye not arm.
<Cassandra`> Freyja...can you tend to the girl...? She was wounded as well...
<DeathStar> 6* Legion leaps at Cassandra.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna opens fire on Legion. Damn bastard won't quit
* Freyja looses a light arrow toward Legion's face since Cassandra's with Setsuna, but quickly retreats. She isn't fighting -that- head on.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit and lands on his back.
<Cassandra`> Come on! *starts moving away*
<DeathStar> 6* Legion rises and unleashes light arrows at on Freyja.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna does her best to get away with Cass
<Freyja> Wow, he really does have almost everyone's...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rushes out of the building, heading along. He goes to steal a car.
<Marcus`> My Arm! *he screams hoarsly* I need to get my arm!
* Freyja waits until they're close and tries to jump to the side slightly.
<Freyja> Where is 'the girl?'
<DeathStar> 6* Legion suddenly makes his arm go into ghost mode like Raquel, and reaches for Freyja's soul.
* Jennifer` didn't stop running till she was well out of range.
<SPoC> 6SPoC busts out the passengers window and unlocks the door.
* Freyja is glad she bloody moved and continues retreating rapidly.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion growls like a dog.
* Cassandra` retreats!
<DeathStar> 6* Legion uses Cassandra's powers - massive breasts
<DeathStar> NRP: Kidding
<Marcus`> *Theron fires again for the back of Legion's head. Sighing that he can't do anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit in the back of the ehad.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets the car going, then drives away past everyone, giving them a chance to leap on
<DeathStar> 6* Legion begins to chase after CAssandra.
* Freyja does so, sighing loudly. 1"Where's a magical girl when you need one?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls herself up, then leaps out onto Legion.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts and dives in the the car, or on it, whichever is more plausible.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets in the car when it gets close
<Cassandra`> Setsuna...I've got greandes...leave a firecracker for him, will you?
<SPoC> 6Dias growns as he pushes himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wrestles with Legion, who grabs her arm.
* Marcus` pulls himself to his feet, holding his missing arm.
<Freyja> Hmmm, Cheryl.
<SPoC> 6Dias twists and dashes in at Legions side, going with a shoulder tackle
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is barely phased.
<Marcus`> NRP: Err. the spot where the arm was.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion decides he'd like a female arm to go with his male arm
<SPoC> 6Dias plants his hands on Legions side and launches a Dark Matter ball into him
<DeathStar> 6* Legion yelps as he's knocked away.
<SPoC> 6Dias pants as he tries to grab Cheryl
* Marcus` pulls up the ripple blade and glares. "I need my arm, Dias."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces in pain
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls up beside Dias and Cheryl.
* Freyja when they're close, looks for Marcus' arm.
<SPoC> <Dias> Noted. 6He forms two Dark Matter balls and hurls them in a criss cross path towards Legion
<DeathStar> 6* Legion seems to still be holding the arm, like a trophy.
<Freyja> Eheh. Well, hell with that...
<DeathStar> 6* Legion swings the arm into a dark matter ball and lets it get vaped.
<DeathStar> 6* He laughs as at his evilness.
* Marcus` just stares. "...." He gets into Warren's car, reverting back to normal, ripping his shirt to try and wrap off the wound.
<SPoC> 6Dias winces. 1"My bad." 6He leaps onto the trunk of the car.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...what a bastard..."
<Freyja> Indeed. Motto kunyarou.
* Jennifer` creeps her way around to the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drives off with everyone. Legion begins to chase.
* Freyja flicks arrows at him. They might not do much, but hey, better than staring.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is arrowed.
<DeathStar> <Warren> How did he know we would be here? 6* He glances at Jennifer's hadn in concern.
<Freyja> Does this thing have a higher speed?
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls up a pistol and begins to charge it up.
* Jennifer` looks at her hand in concern too.
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer's stub is ewy.
<SPoC> 6Dias punches the rear window out and locks his leg onto the seat. 1"God this is going to hurt." 6He holds both hands out infront of him and begins gather Dark Matter in front of him.
<Jennifer`> "He knows because he's from the future."
<Jennifer`> "He saw all of this happen."
<DeathStar> <Warren> That's just lame.
<Jennifer`> "Yeah..."
<DeathStar> 6* Legion leaps for the car.
* Jennifer` is staring at her stub in disbelief.
* Marcus` rests his head against the window, effectively useless.
<DeathStar> 6* What else is new?
* Freyja places her hand on Dias and augments him.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...how could he... if he saw this to know, when he came back... wouldn't his past version need to be here still?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> *coughs* "Fucking bastard is fucking up the timeline more than we do..."
<SPoC> 6Dias 's knee begins to buckle slightly as Legion leaps. He suddenly shoves his arms out, launching the Dark Matter Ball towards him, sending him slamming into the back of the roof with a sickening thud and causing it to dent inwards
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit and sent flying away out of sight. AFter a bit, they're gone.
<Marcus`> *Theron lets his pistol die down.
<Cassandra`> ...question is who is his past version...?
<SPoC> 6Dias slams onto the trunk, apparently unconsious
* Freyja lets go of Dias during this bouncing around for her own health, but then grabs ahold of him and attempts to yank him back to a safer point.
<SPoC> Well that was a a fun trip.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drives out of Tokyo.
* Freyja huffs slightly, peering down at Dias. All the jumping and arrows and such getting to her, but most of all augmenting something like him. She glances at the two missing limbs and winces slightly.
* Freyja offers, "1...I'm not sure I can do much for something like that, but I could at least numb the two of you a bit."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren comes to a stop as soon as he thinks it's safe, then begins to bandage Jennifer
<Cassandra`> Cut that a bit too close...
* Marcus` glances at Freyja. "No." He returns his gaze outside, going silent again.
* Jennifer` sits there quietly, a girl tying not to freak out.
<SPoC> 6Dias lays there, blood seepign through the back of his sweatshirt, his hair damp with sweat
* Freyja shrugs, getting rather used to rejection from this group.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren goes back to driving - he knows a witch doctor or two.
* Freyja peers down at Dias' bleeding and frowns, checking him for wounds beyond the obvious.
<SPoC> 6It appears he's got a very nasty bruise from hitting the edge of the roof and a decent cut from it. Better check inside his pants to see if anything else is bleeding or needs some sort of help
<DeathStar> -Time Jump-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 day later. 10-587.12.23
<DeathStar> Location: The Woods
<DeathStar> 6* The team has been patched by an illegal doctor, and their lives saved.
* Freyja bandaged Dias, somehow, to the point of a comical mummy before turning him over to a real doctor's care.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren smokes a cig outside in the snow.
<Cassandra`> Any ideas on Legion?
<Freyja> He's not to be attacked?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Apparantly he knew we'd be there.
<Cassandra`> He claims to be from the future.
<SPoC> That means he'll always be where we have to go.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not necessarily.
<Marcus`> Don't attack him head on or you'll lose your arm. *he notes, standing there with, his right sleeve hanging to his side*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lets out a breath of smoke. "No doubt by attacking something so high profile as that building, it would have been noted in records."
<Cassandra`> History can't record everything.
<Marcus`> *Theron just listens, having nothing to add.
<SPoC> So we try our best to stay out of the news than.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Arakawa is correct. We have to keep under the radar in our operations. Make sure we don't get spotted by anything that could record our premise.
<Freyja> No, but he can lie in waiting at any of the ones that -are- recorded, earlier than necessary with preparations at his whim.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits with Jennifer.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits with Dias.
* Freyja raises a finger. 1"Not that we would know which events these might be."
<Cassandra`> Short of changing how history is recorded...
<DeathStar> <Warren> But are we changing history?
* Marcus` moves to step back inside, "He awake yet?" he says to Kat as he moves in to check on Dias.
<Cassandra`> Napoleon Bonaparte once said...history is a pile of lies that the masses agree upon.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes another breath of smoke. "AFter all, I don't see a divergence occurring."
<SPoC> 6Dias lays where he was put, having not moved on his own since he was knocked out.
<Freyja> But perhaps it would be safe to assume that anything we do in reaction to something we have not personally created might be one of those instances we need to be wary of.
* Jennifer` looks down at her hand, she's been staring at it a lot.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not yet.
<Jennifer`> "He nearly killed me..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
* Marcus` sits down, frowning slightly. "He hit pretty hard."
<Freyja> <Chii> At his own expense, as well.
* Jennifer` closes her eyes, sighing.
<Cassandra`> The question is his origin.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. Has it already occurred, or will it occur?
<Marcus`> To save of from Legion. *he says to Chii, his eyes shifting to the ground*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You did your best, Jen. You can't beat yourself up over it.
<Marcus`> NRP: us*
<Jennifer`> "Thanks..."
<Freyja> 6Chii nods, her expression creased, yet not in anger or annoyance as per usual, something else bothering her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts a damp rag on Dias' forehead.
<Freyja> <Chii> As much as it pains me to say this, he did something admirable.
<Marcus`> Of course he did. He's a hero.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren waves his hand. "The fact is if he is from the future, then he knows how to beat us. From what I gathered from Jennifer, he seemed upset when he failed to kills her, almost like he couldn't break the flow of time."
<Cassandra`> She wasn't supposed to die.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And hence, he couldn't kill her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes another drag, blowing it ou.
<Freyja> I have a feeling that in his timeline, what made him what he currently is has already happened.
<Marcus`> <Theron> That's an assumption that you might not wish to make, yet.
<Freyja> Yet here, it has not. I wonder if by tampering with our premature deaths he threatens his own existence? That would be interesting.
<Marcus`> NRP: Ignore that, I read it wrong.
<SPoC> Which means we won't be able to keep ourselfs from dieing when it's our time. 6She sighs sadly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> IF he had killed Jennifer, when he wasn't meant to, he would have caused a divergence in the timeline.
* Freyja nods slowly to Warren.
* Jennifer` shudders a little.
<Cassandra`> Perhaps that is his goal...
<DeathStar> <Warren> However, there may come a day when he is meant to kill us, and we cannot avoid that death.
<Freyja> Which would be what he is looking forward to.
<DeathStar> <Warren> After all, if he is from the future, why did we fail to stop him from coming here?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squeezes her shoulder. "It'll be okay."
<Marcus`> <Theron> We are probably already dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Freyja> He might be trying to kill us prematurely due to the new Erevis' presence. Perhaps that is a sign that we can change the eventuality, and that causes him to be nervous.
<Cassandra`> More questions than answers.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We're assuming Erevis isn't meant to have come back, either.
<Freyja> I have no idea about that... However, the one from our line appears to have been switched.
<SPoC> All I know is, now settling down and having 2.3 kids'll be even more difficult. 6She sighs again
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers at SPoC.
* SPoC stares down at her knife.
<DeathStar> <Warren> In any event, we need to find out what our government is doing, and what the Dark Ones plans are, and we cannot let Legion interfere with that, lest we form a timeline divergence of our own.
* Marcus` glances up and then stands. "Let me know when he wakes up." He turns and steps outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods.
<Freyja> Forgive me, since I did not have the time to pry that far into your memories.
<SPoC> What if we're not supposed to find that stuff our and by doing so, we create a time divergence?
<Freyja> However, for those of us who have not tampered with time itself, what exactly is the consequence of a timeline 'divergence?'
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's impossible to say.
* SPoC suddenly baps Freyja's forehead. 1"Bad girl. Bad Bad Girl.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions for CAssandra to explain.
* Freyja blinks slightly at SPoC, tilting her head.
<SPoC> Prying into minds is rude! 6She crosses her arms, making a mad face at her
<Cassandra`> Well...Dark Ones would win...Xevil could rule the universe....take your pick...
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Basically... when we make a future other than one that's 'supposed' to happen."
<SPoC> 6Dias suddenly takes a deep breath.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Then they both do."
<Freyja> I have not pried into minds. I looked into a few of your hearts before we were... properly introduced. Considering at the time they were plunged into mine and my very soul was captured, I should say we're even by now.
* SPoC panics and baps Freyja again. 1"Out of my heart!"
<Cassandra`> Universe tries to sort itself out. Doesn't always work out for the best when it does.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drops his cigeratte, stomping it out.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Exactly.
<Freyja> Divergences are always negative? Never positive?
<Marcus`> Sometimes you get to Seraphna's running around.
* Marcus` says this as he steps out.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Last time we had one, Xevil almost destroyed all reality.
* Freyja rubs her forehead, peering curiously at SPoC
<Marcus`> NRP: two*
* SPoC baps Freyja again. 1"Curiousity killed the cat!"
<Freyja> Technically I'm a fox, and we live for our curiousity.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Anyway, we'll take it low for a week or two. I'll go through the files we stole and learn who set us up. With the Tsivrixsh War going on, we should be able to lay low enough that they can't fully focus on us.
<Marcus`> If we're lucky.
* Cassandra` nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just stares down.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll work on getting us a real base of operations.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shoves his hands into his coat and walks back inside to be with Jen.
* Marcus` turns and walks off towards the trees after Warren finishes.
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly opens one of his eyes as it focuses in on Kat. 1"Kat...I must be in heavan." 6He moves his hand to his head slowly
<Freyja> 6Chii takes the cloth and holds two fingers to it, uttering. 1"Hyoton. Katon." She freezes it, then melts the ice away, then sets it back upon Dias' forehead.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> it's too cold.
<Freyja> 6Chii blinks as he awakens while she's doing so.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances back at Cass and Setsuna. "Good job." 6* He steps back in and sits beside Jennifer. Cheryl gets up and moves off.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there a moment longer, then moves to step inside out of the cold.
<SPoC> Dias eyes Chii. 1"No, this is hell...I knew it."
* Jennifer` looks over at him, "Hey."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts* Hello.
<Freyja> <Chii> No, but I could send you there. If you don't want your soul I could use one.
<Cassandra`> Weren't cutting it too close, were we?
* SPoC moves her hands behind her back and she hops over to a snow pile and leans down, looking at it
* Freyja moves inside slowly, musing to herself as she gazes at the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slaps Cassandra on the back. "Hey, if the timeline says you arrive at the 11th hour, you arrive at the 11th hour."
<SPoC> <Dias> Like hell. 6He winces as he sits up, swinging his legs off the bed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should rest more.
* Jennifer` looks forward, for once not staring at where her hand used to be.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm fine. 6He moves to push himself off the bed and stand, but his leg's give out and he falls towards the floor
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there silently.
<Freyja> <Chii> Was worth asking." 1She sits back and crosses her arms.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> His soul would be itchy.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches him topple over.
<Freyja> 6Chii reaches out to keep him from slamming into the ground.
<Freyja> <Chii> Probably.
<SPoC> 6Dias slams onto the floor, he lays there face down. 1"As itchy as your underwwear."
<Freyja> 6Chii blinks. She missed something as simple as catching him?
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
* Xan|Gone is now known as THERON
<Freyja> <Chii> If he's done with the bed, does this mean we can use it, Katrina?" 6Steps over Dias.
<Jennifer`> "Is it... bad of me to be scared?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're sleepy?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. If you weren't, you'd be an idiot.
<Freyja> <Freyja> Agreed. We need less idiots.
<SPoC> <Dias> You know, you could heal me Chii.
<Jennifer`> "That's good I guess."
<Freyja> 6Chii peers down. 1"...Since when? I can't heal people."
<Jennifer`> "...Good thing you taught me how to fire with both hands..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I have foresight.
<SPoC> <Dias> Through the miracle of sex Chii. 6He continues to talk into the floor, having not moved an inch. 1"Sex can heal any wound."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rolls her eyes.
<Freyja> <Chii> Hrmph, you called me hell.
<Freyja> 6Cheer peers toward Katrina, rubbing her chin. 1"Heaven or hell?"
<THERON> *Marcus remains out into the forest, huzzah?
<DeathStar> 6* A bear attacks Marcus.
<SPoC> <Dias> Clearly I was in a fit of delusion.
<THERON> *Marcus fights it, as a one-armed werewolf.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I like to think of myself as a devil.
<DeathStar> 6* The werebear is defeated.
<Freyja> 6Chii grins mischievously. 1"So be it. I like you that way."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her legs.
<THERON> *Marcus makes his way back towards the shack now.
* THERON is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> 6* A squirrel runs out in front of Marcus. "chitter."
<SPoC> <Dias> While I do appreciate the view from down here and all, I would enjoy a bed instead.
* Jennifer` looks up at Warren quietly.
* Marcus` pauses and kneels down, staring at the squirrel.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there, staring back.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel stares back.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina ignores Dias.
* Marcus` pauses and shifts in his pocket, pulling up a piece of a cracker.
<Cassandra`> ...Setsuna?
<SPoC> <Dias> So Kat, tell me, where you at my beside this entire time?
<SPoC> NRP: bedside
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Hm?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nope.
<Freyja> 6Chii looks disdainfully upon Katrina. 1"Do I have to give it back to him?
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh...6He definetly sounds disapointed
* Jennifer` hugs him, gently, with her good arm.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. *she waves her hand* You plan to heal him sexually?
<Cassandra`> ...want to go make out...?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at her hugging him, then grunts.
<Freyja> <Chii> You want me to?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I think you should find a better man for your first time myself.
<Freyja> <Chii> Frankly I find I have more in common with a succubus than 'sexual healer.'
<SPoC> <Dias> I am right here you know
<Freyja> 6Chii nods to Katrina. 1"Understood."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We know, Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel eyes the cracker, then attacks it.
* Jennifer` sits back and grunts a little.
* Marcus` pulls his hand back so it isn't part of the attack, he stands and moves to walk around the squirrel.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel leaps on his shoulder.
<Freyja> 6Chii kneels and uses leverage to reluctantly drag Dias back into the bed.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "You know... and don't get me wrong. That was so much MORE appealing, when we weren't stuck in the woods."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Dias occupying most of the bed now she's sitting on.
<Cassandra`> ...got to do what you got to do...
* Marcus` glances at it, smiling slightly, he shifts around for the other half of the cracker and after finally finding it, reaches it up to the squirrel.
<SPoC> 6Dias lies there, choosing not to move from whatever odd way he wound up lieing.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hangs upside down from a limb in front of Setsuna and Cassandra. "You two inspire me."
* SPoC lays on her back on the snow, making a snow angel
<Cassandra`> ...errrr?
<Freyja> 6Chii moves around and sits on the other side of Katrina.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm going to go seduce Marcus right now!
* Alicia has joined #TAW
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hops off the branch and hurries off.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Alicia
<Cassandra`> ...we'd better stop her...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina props Dias' head on a pillow.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel eats his cracker.
<DeathStar> 6* This human slave will suffice.
* Cassandra` noves to pursue.
<Freyja> 6Chii eyes Katrina suspiciously. 1"Do you like Dias?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy uses snow to the face tactics.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna sighs. "What a distraction that one is..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm? He's alright.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm still here you know
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina touches Chii's nose. "What is that emotion I'm feeling from you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy uses a snow rail gun on Setsuna in response to THAT.
<Freyja> 6Chii puffs her cheeks childishly and recoils slightly. 1"...H-hrmph."
<Freyja> 6Chii turns and crosses her arms, glancing offward.
* Marcus` comes in sight of Billy attacking her mothers with snow.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's cute. 6* She pats Chii's cheek.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna is floored. Didn't see that coming @.@
* SPoC lies off to the side of them on her back, still making a snow angel
<DeathStar> 6* Billy whistles.
<Marcus`> Look Billy. I made a friend. *he kneels down so she can see the squirrel*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes the squirrel. The two have a staring contest, then the squirrel attacks Billy in the face.
<Cassandra`> ...how do you make a rail gun out of snow?!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy squeals as she's attacked in the face.
* Marcus` pauses, and coughs, reaching out to grab the squirrel.
* Jennifer` looks forward still.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren does the same.
<Freyja> 6Chii shakes her head, blushing. 1"I-is not.."
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel makes obscene gestures as it's pulled back.
<SPoC> <Dias> They're ignoring me...6He sighs
<Freyja> 6Freyja sits on a tree branch above the snow group, observing with a sullen expression.
<Marcus`> If you attack my friends, I will not feed you anymore. *he says sternly*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts another pillow on Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel gives him a hypnotic look to make him obey
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds her face, then bawls.
* SPoC lies there, a pillow covering his face now
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<Cassandra`> NRP: Hypno-Squirrel compels you.
<Freyja> <Chii> I wonder if Dias is lonely?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna sits up, holding her head. "...what the hell just hit me?"
* Marcus` arches his brow. "I will throw you."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Probably sexually frustrated.
<Cassandra`> ...Billy mde a rail gun...from snow....
<Freyja> <Chii> Mm, either is likely.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy runs over to Setsuna for a hug.
<DeathStar> 6* While crying.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel narrows it's beady eyes.
* Marcus` narrows his own.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel cups it's squirrel hands together like Gokou would.
* Marcus` stares.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna hugs Billy protectively, despite just being assaulted by her
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...now what happened to you? Recoil?"
<Cassandra`> ...what happened, Billy?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy tells them that a squirrel attacked her.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel gathers electricity and zaps Marcus' nose.
<Cassandra`> ...oh...
* Marcus` pauses. "What the hell?"
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel leaps onto his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina checks to see if Dias is okay.
<Marcus`> ...
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel motions him to move onward.
<Marcus`> ...*he does*
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel crosses it's arms, satisfied
<DeathStar> -END-
