<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.12.24
<DeathStar> Time: Evening
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls the car up in the middle of nowhere in the woods.
<DeathStar> 6* The darkness is an eerie effect in the snow covered woods, and the headlights are the only source of light out here.
<SPoC> <SPoC> Is this what they call make-out point?
<Marcus`> If so, I want out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shuts off the engine. He grunts and opens the car door, getting out.
<Cassandra`> ...what's the story here?
<SPoC> Afraid of girls?! 6She looks at Marcus curiously.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This is our new base.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans her head out the window at the nothingness.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I miss the shack.
<Marcus`> Just you, darlin. *he slides out*
* Gabriella is now known as Jennifer`
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're not afraid of me? 6* She peers at Marcus oddly.
<SPoC> Why? 6She continues to look at him curiously.
<Marcus`> Why fear death?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps staring at Marcus
<SPoC> 6Dias steps out, he uses a wrapped blade as a brace against the ground.
* Jennifer` slides out, a jacket on, the sleeve of where her left hand should be tied shut.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is asleep in the back.
* SPoC looks at Cheryl than at Marcus. 1"She's not death, silly."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren trods along the snow, his boots making a satisfied crunch sound.
<Cassandra`> ...bunker? *follows Warren*
<Marcus`> I know. She's Cheryl. *he shakes his head and moves along after Warren*
<Marcus`> *Theron moves along silently, being all ninja-ish.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very close. It's an old base Venerator had during the Ridiarium War. It was abandoned after it ended.
* SPoC leans towards Cheryl. 1"That guys just wierd."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I doubt anyone remembers it.
<SPoC> 6Dias leans his hand against the window of the vehicle and knocks on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks around. "Find a tree with leaves."
<Cassandra`> That isn't, presumably, an evergreen?
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses, and then shifts around, looking for the tree.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Presumeably. It's about my height.
<Jennifer`> "Vener...ator... General Cartwright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sleeps through
* Cassandra` gives the area a quick scan with her internal systems.
<Kit> 6Chii stretches and sits up from Katrina yawning. 1"...The hell are we?"
* Marcus` walks along silently, bundled up in his coat, which is tattered and dirty from his stay in the shack. He looks around, also searching for the tree that is Warren's height.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra locates it in record time - 14 meters to the Northwest
<SPoC> 6Dias turns and looks into the vehicle at Kat and Chii.
<Kit> 6Freyja giggles. 1"Somewhere pretty..."6 Then floats upward for a vantage point.
<Cassandra`> This way... *walks northwest for 14 meters*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren falls into step behind Cassandra
<SPoC> <Dias> Kat wake up, we're heading towards our new home.
<Marcus`> *Theron turns and moves along after Warren and Cass. Marcus right behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens her eyes and stretches like a cat.
<SPoC> 6SPoC claps his pink gloves together and moves off into the woods, her hands behind her back as she hops through the snow gleefully
<DeathStar> 6* They come up to a small tree that looks out of place. For Cassandra, she could tell it wasn't even alive.
* Jennifer` walks along, thinking to herself. "So Cartwright is dead in this reality?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Pretty dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren inspects the tree, then kneels down and does something to the base. After a moment, an area of land to the left slides open, shifting a pile of snow
<Jennifer`> "Ah... how'd he die?"
<Cassandra`> Sticks out like a sore thumb to my sensor suite...
<Kit> 6Freyja lowers to a few inches above the snow beside the new opening. 1"Warren, you seem to have a pension for places with faux walls and floors."
<SPoC> 6Dias sticks his head inside the vehicle. 1"Hey good looking, we're gonna lose them."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, who has left to wander the area, is out of sight
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't want to go outside. Someone carry me.
* SPoC leans down and piles some snow together. She makes a snowball and she hurls it at Marcus' head
<Kit> 6Chii grabs Katrina.
<SPoC> <Dias> Why are you grabbing her like that?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts at Freyja, and doesn't answer Jen deliberately. He moves down the staircase and out of sight
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a noise of surprise
* Cassandra` follows Warren down.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hop on. 6He shuffles around, so his back is turned to her.
* Marcus` shifts and moves back towards the car, since he notices Dias isn't with them.
<Kit> 6Freyja locks her fingers, carrying Katrina away from the car reminiscent of a duffle bag.
<Kit> NRP: Chii.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves down behind Cass and Warren.
<SPoC> <Dias> Is she carrying you like a piece of luggage?
<DeathStar> 6* Down the staircase a good 10 feet, they find a reinforced door with a keypad. Warren hits a combination of numbers, and unlocks it. "I'll give everyone the password later." 6* The door opens and he moves inside. Indeed, it's a type of underground bunker, complete with soldier quarters, a command center with computers, a medical bay in the back, and a training room. And lots of dust.
* Marcus` comes into sight of the three. "It's this way." He motions with his hand, turning to move back towards it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina speaks in a Southern Belle voice. "I do declare, I feel like a princess right now."
<Kit> 6Freyja peers around, then crosses her legs, sitting on her cushion of air. 1"I think I will remain up here for a while. It's nice, and I doubt anyone would object to my absence anyway."
* SPoC frowns and moves down the stairs after Warren
* Jennifer` shakes her head and moves after SPoC
<SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head and he limps after Marcus
<Marcus`> *Theron glances around. "Dust aside. This is impressive."
<DeathStar> <Warren> There's a weapon cache, too, in the training room
<Kit> 6Chii pauses before the staircase and glances down at Katrina, blinking. 1Himesama? ...Haa... Nyahaha.."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks over CAssandra's body. "Do you have a vaccuum cleaner in there?"
<SPoC> 6Dias stares at Chii oddly then looks at Marcus. 1"What the hell did she say?"
<Kit> 6Freyja tilts her head, then waves cheerfully at those descending into the new base. Chii moves down laughing for some reason.
<Marcus`> Who cares. *he begins to move down the steps*
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once, but doesn't move, not wating to throw up dust.
<Cassandra`> ..no.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Useless.
* Jennifer` looks about, scuffing up some dust.
<Kit> <Chii> Vacuum? You want to move the dust?
<SPoC> 6Dias rubs his nose then boots Marcus in the ass to send him down the stairs
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs a broom and dust pan, holding it out to Marcus. "Start sweeping."
* Marcus` tumbles, rolling down the stairs.
<Cassandra`> Hmmmph.
<Kit> 6Chii sets Katrina down and rubs her chin. 1"I can remove the dust."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, eyeing Chii, then sets down his props.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do so.
<Kit> <Chii> Would be a good idea to go topside again, if so.
* Marcus` glances up at Warren. He stands up and moves off, moving to pick his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina cups her hands together. "My Knight in Shining armor treats me so gently."
<SPoC> 6Dias steps inside, he leans against the wrapped blade, a tired look on his face
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions everyone back up.
<SPoC> <Dias> ....Fuck you.
* Cassandra` steps back.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Katrina move back up.
<Cassandra`> This place have filtrated air?
<SPoC> <SPoC> But I like it like this. It gives it that vintage look.
* Jennifer` backs up, standing behind Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Once we get it repaired.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks at Katrina, " 1Naito?" 6then laughs again.
* Marcus` pauses before stepping into a room and then moves to get behind Chii.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands by the steps, arms crossed.
<SPoC> 6Dias grumbles and he begins to limp back up the stairs. SPoC hops up past him, bumping into him and almost causing him to fall
<Kit> 6Chii gives everyone a chance to retreat to where they feel 'safe,' then claps her hands together and calls out, 1"Fuuton!" 6She emerges from the staircase after a moment, hacking and wheezing, as if she were the object of chemical warfare.
<Kit> <Chii> Son of a..." 6Cough.
<SPoC> <Dias> That's an improvement.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Someone dispose of her. She might be contagious.
<SPoC> Ok! 6She moves to grab Chii
<Kit> 6Chii holds up her hand and blows dust in Warren's face spitefully.
* Jennifer` pulls out her gun to assist SPoC.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He was being sarcastic.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is glad he's taller than Chii.
* SPoC grabs Chii and lifts her up onto her shoulder, she turns looking at Kat then she looks at Warren
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll keep her for now. We might need her for the toilets.
<Cassandra`> Alright, what's the plan for getting this place operational?
<SPoC> Ok. 6She shrugs and drops Chii
<Kit> <Chii> The world is such a lovely place when everyone hates you.
<Kit> <Freyja> I don't hate you.
<Kit> <Chii> Fuck you.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll get Cheryl to work on the infostructure. For now, enjoy Christmas Eve. 6* He walks back down.
<Cassandra`> Hey, cool it.
* Marcus` steps down, moving towards a room now.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes the stairs again, he jsut lets out a huge sigh and falls backwards into the snow.
<SPoC> 6SPoC glances at Dias then looks at Kat. 1"What's wrong with him?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina follows after Marcus. "He needs you to do CPR."
* Jennifer` looks about, desciding what to do with herself.
<Marcus`> No. *he steps into a room and shuts the door*
<Marcus`> NRP: wait, nevermind.
<Cassandra`> Time for exploring then...
<Marcus`> NRP: Ooooi I read that wrong.
<SPoC> Really? He seems to be breathing fine.
* Marcus` steps into one of the random rooms, glancing around.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves over to the command center and sits down
<Kit> 6Chii and Freyja exchange looks, then Freyja smirks and Chii whips out one of the pistols she confiscated from the shack, loosing two shots. Freyja blinks away from them, touches Dias and then jumps inside, the base of the stairs, giggling. 1"There you go, Dias."
<Marcus`> *Theron quietly moves to inspect the weapons cashe.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps in after him, leaning against the doorframe.
<Marcus`> NEP: chache*
<Kit> 6Chii holsters the gun, then throws her hands up in frustration.
<SPoC> 6Dias stares up a the cieling. 1"Great, now my back hurts again. I was enjoying the cool numbing feel of the snow.
* Marcus` stops, his head tilted up, he glances at Kat out of the corner of his eye. He then turns to face Kat. "You want this room?"
<Kit> <Freyja> I could make you feel like Warren?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Doesn't matter to me. I came to see how you were doing.
<SPoC> 6SPoC glances around then begins to make a snow man in the snow.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh no, I'll take the pain over feeling like that man.
<Marcus`> You serious?
<Kit> <Freyja> Are you... building character?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why would I kid?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over and sits down on the bed, crossing her legs.
* Jennifer` moves down and into the command center, looking around, toying with her jacket sleeve.
* Marcus` motions with his one hand towards the command center. "It's easy."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmhm. So, how do you feel?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Jennifer once, then goes back to working on the computer
<SPoC> <Dias> Character?
<Kit> 6Chii glares at the sky, then shakes her head, calming. She flits a few steps through the snow, then collapses, hand on one knee as her tail flickers. She stares at SPoC's antics.
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmh, I've heard many times that pain and suffering from one's experiences builds character.
* SPoC lifts up a ball of snow she made and sets it on a bigger one, she then begins to make another ball
<Marcus`> You think that by talking about it, it'll make me feel better.
<Kit> 6Freyja taps her lip and shrugs. 1"Most of those types die, though. So I shant think character is always a good thing."
* Cassandra` steps into the command center soon as well.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You don't think that?
<SPoC> <Dias> You're should stop listening to crazy people.
* Jennifer` walks over and watches the computer screen a bit.
<Kit> 6Freyja nods in agreement. 1"But tell me if it gets worse, eh?"
<DeathStar> 6* It just seems Warren is going through directories and files that mean little.
<Marcus`> Doesn't matter what I say. Nothing will change the fact that I feel worthless. Incomplete.
<Cassandra`> How's it look?
<SPoC> <Dias> And why would I do that?
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm not you, how should I know? But that doesn't keep me from offering, does it?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why do you feel worthless?
<Cassandra`> ...riiiiight.
<Marcus`> You're seriously asking that?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm seriously asking that.
<Jennifer`> "Anything I can help with?"
<SPoC> <Dias> If I punch you, will you shut up? 6He leans his head up, looking at her curiously
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. Why don't you go talk to the others? You need some friends.
<Kit> <Freyja> Probably not. Would it make you feel better?
<SPoC> <Dias> That's a silly question. 6He grimaces as he roles onto his side and begins to stand
<Marcus`> Most of my life I was weak. Anytime I ever did something worthwile was when the luck of the gods smiled down upon me. Then, I got stronger, faster, better. It was hard work, but I didn't give up. Now that's almost instantly taken away from me from some retard that has too much strength for his own good.
<Kit> <Freyja> I've always preferred silly over serious!
<Kit> 6Freyja giggles and floats backwards a bit, giving Dias room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up, putting her hands together behind her. "So you think your lost your edge because you lost your arm?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Whatever that means. 6He bends down and grabs the wrapped sword and picks it up and plants the tip against the floor, using it as a cane.
* Jennifer` smiles a little. "Alright."
<Marcus`> I'm still good. I can still take down most any grunt soldier. But i'm no where near what I could be.
* Jennifer` turns and steps out, looking around for the others.
* SPoC picks up the last ball of snow and plops it onto the two she piled up. 1"Hello Mr. Snowman."
<Kit> <Freyja> In regards to you, it means little like that. But I'm sure if I said something like 'being too serious is harmful' you might know very well.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps out, seemingly satisfied with the weapons stock, he moves up the stairs and glances around at those outside.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why is that?
<Marcus`> I lost my arm.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm not following. 6He stares at her, confusion on his face.
<Kit> 6Chii turns her head after an ear flicks and peers at Theron, then inclines her head and glances back toward SPoC. She looks to Theron again. 1"...What is she doing?"
<Kit> <Freyja> That's okay, you're more fun like that.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Making a man of snow, it would seem.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So? One day you'll get that replaced. 6* She turns to slide in front of him. "What you're doing is feeling worthless, Marcus, but you aren't worthless. You shouldn't see this is at what you could be; one can be anything they want. You just have to believe in yourself."
* Cassandra` takes a seat at one of the consoles.
* SPoC claps his pink gloves together happily and she hugs the snowman then hops back. 1"Now you need a face." She pulls out her knife and begins carving the snow to make a face.
<Kit> <Chii> What for?
* Jennifer` eyes Cassandra.
<Marcus`> Well right now that's kinda hard to do. And besides, one day I can get that replaced, but I need that arm to fight this battle, I don't have time to be this weak.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Fun. What else?
<Kit> 6Chii frowns, then glances over the scene once more, nodding. 1"Hmm..."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps you should try it?
<Cassandra`> What is it?
<SPoC> Excellent. 6She smiles and then begins to use the knife to scuplt the snow-man
<Jennifer`> "Does it hurt? Having replacement limbs?"
<Kit> <Chii> She seems happy with her's.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws a punch for Marcus suddenly.
<Cassandra`> Getting blown up hurts. Getting the replacements doesn't.
* Marcus` tilts his head as the fist slams across his cheek. He slides his eyes to Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at him. "You let that hit. Because you could have stopped it easily."
<Jennifer`> "How do they... know how to move? I mean... the cyborg parts."
<Marcus`> Oh? How do you know?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because I know.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina taps her head.
<SPoC> <Dias> Having sex with me is funner. 6He studies Freyja
<Marcus`> Right, right. I could have, but I didn't want to give you the victory and allow yourself to say, 'See, you still have some skill.'
<Cassandra`> They're wired up to my brain.
<Marcus`> <Theron> She does. *he nods*
<Kit> 6Freyja studies Dias for a moment, then glances toward the floor before twirling around, her dress fluttering to a halt. She begins floating off without saying a word.
<Jennifer`> "Did that hurt?"
<SPoC> 6Dias looks down at his crotch. 1"It's ok buddy, we'll get one next time."
<Cassandra`> No...I was out when they were putting me back together.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then if you're that petty that you can't accept you have value, then you should go right now. Because you're jsut going to get yourself hurt and others hurt unless you believe in yourself. Because even though I believe in you, and think you can do great things with or without an arm, it won't mean shit if you don't believe it.
* SPoC steps back, the snowman can be seen as what can only be described as a black-ops soldier.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to go.
* Marcus` reaches out to place a hand on Katrina's shoulder.
<Kit> 6Chii audibly displaces snow as she falls onto her side upon studying the snowman.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances back.
<Marcus`> Thank you. *he smiles*
* SPoC claps her hands together, giggling slightly. 1"At ease soldier."
<Jennifer`> "Think they'll put me out too?"
<Kit> 6Chii groans, sitting up. 1"She's... that kind.."
<Cassandra`> WEll, its not like you were blown away completely.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles back. "Here." 6* She holds out a tiny wrapped box.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Kind? What kind?
* Marcus` pauses glancing down. "What's this?"
* SPoC hops to the side of the solider and slides into an attention stance.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A Christmas gift.
<Marcus`> You really got me a gift? *he seems shocked, reaching out to take it with his hand* What is it?
<SPoC> 6Dias turns and moves towards the training room, his sword clicking away as he moves
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's nothing much. I mean, we've been on the run, so it's not like I could really do much shopping.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats him on the shoulder, and steps out.
* Marcus` looks up at her, staring at her for a moment. "Thank you, Kat." He says as she moves out.
<Kit> 6Chii frames SPoC and her snowsoldier between her thumbs and indexes. 1"Click."
* Marcus` shifts over to his bed and sits down, fumbling to open it with his one hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles and waves, then runs into Dias. "Hey, you1"
<DeathStar> 6* He unwraps...a tiny box.
<SPoC> 6Dias stumbles as he's ran into and he goes head first into the wall.
* Marcus` looks to see what is inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches him.
* Jennifer` smiles nervously, messing with her hair a little. "So... who made your replacements?"
<DeathStar> 6* A tiny key chain with a little wolf emblem hanging from it.
<SPoC> 6SPoC throws his arm around the Spec-Op snowman and begins conversing with it
<SPoC> NRP: her
<SPoC> <Dias> Owww...6He steps back and rubs his head and looks at Kat. 1"Well I can't say I didn't enjoy running into you."
* Marcus` smiles and lifts it up, twirling it on his finger, he shifts and ackwardly attaches it to his belt loop.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How sweet. 6* She holds out a small wrapped box. "Merry Christmas."
<Kit> 6Chii puts her hands to her hips and leans toward SPoC and the snowman. 1"Is he a cheery fellow, or giving you the cold shoulder?"
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks eyeing the box. 1"You shouldn't have." 6He grabs it and begins unwrapping it like only a 4 year old could, his sword clattering to the floor.
<Marcus`> *Theron kneels down and begins to make a snowball.
<Cassandra`> ...well....I...had to work out a deal...
* SPoC slowly looks over at Chii as if her world just came crashing down.
<Kit> 6Freyja ambles up silently, slightly to the side and back of Theron, sitting in the air with an expression to match the temperature.
<DeathStar> 6* He unwraps a keychain with a trophy emblem with #1 on it. And a new King's Red fruit, since his supply was destroyed out
<SPoC> <Dias> Sweeeeet. Wait, I don't have anything for you tho."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's okay. I'd be afraid of what you'd try to give me.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts and tosses the snowball for Freyja's face.
<SPoC> <Dias> Wait a minute. I know. Close your eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hesitates, then closes her eyes.
<SPoC> /me leans forward and gives Kat a kiss on the cheek.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl arrives behind Warren with some wires.
<Jennifer`> "A deal? With who? You seem embarrased."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, got the air going.
<SPoC> 6Dias leans forward and gives Kat a kisss on her cheek
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, looking a bit proud of Dias. "Thank you, Dias."
<Kit> 6Freyja receives a faceful of snow, though the lack of response leads to wonder whether she would have tried to bar its path even if she was aware of it. She bats her eyelashes a few times, uncovering her eyes and huffs. 1"...Hmm.."
<SPoC> <Dias> Bah. 6He rubs the back of his head shyly with his free hand. 1"It was nothing."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Got you. *he smiles and begins to shift away to make another one*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It meant a lot. 6* She says, nodding once, then moves on after ruffling his hair
<Kit> <Freyja> Is this a challenge of some sort?
<Cassandra`> ...with Angela and that crazy blue girl. *crosses her arms*
<Marcus`> *Theron tosses another snowball for her.
<SPoC> 6Dias pockets King Red's fruit and he stares at the nifty keychain. He bites down on it and satisfied, he pockets it.
<Kit> 6Freyja coughs, shaking her head to knock the snow away. 1"Alright, so that's how it is."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina arrives, handing Warren and Cheryl boxes. She slides over, holding out a box to Cass and Jen.
<SPoC> ....Why would my comrade give me a cold shoulder?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, opening his box. He reads the key chain emblem out loud. "I hate the world today."
* Marcus` stands and steps outside, shutting his door, he moves towards the training room.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reads her outloud. "World's #1 Bitch Queen?"
<Kit> 6Freyja drops to her true feet and grins widely. 1"So be it." 6Her feet slide apart and she ducks grabing a handful, quickly forming it as per onigiri and makes a full turn to lob it at Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks all girly like. "It's so cute!!"
<SPoC> 6Dias leans down and he picks up the sword he looks at Marcus. 1"Dude, you wouldn't believe what Kat gave me."
<Marcus`> Keychain?
<SPoC> No, a blowjob.
* Cassandra` blinks and takes her box...
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<Kit> <Chii> It... I...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Merry Christmas you two.
<Kit> 6Chii looks crushed now. 1"...I was attempting humor. My apologies."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina heads up stairs.
<Marcus`> *Theron does a somersault, kicking up at the snowball to make it explode in a flurry of snow. He chuckles.
<SPoC> Oh, I don't get it.
* Cassandra` opens her bix...
<Marcus`> Well that's good, it's about time you got something.
<Kit> <Chii> That's okay. I'm not funny.
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"It's very... realistic."
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok ok, it was a key chain. And one of King Red's Fruit. I think she was trying to tell me something. 6He motions to him
<SPoC> Oh, I'll remember that your not funny than. 6She nods.
<DeathStar> 6* CAssandra's keychain emblem reads: My dildo is bigger than yours.
<Marcus`> Perhaps? You should go for it.
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...oh, ha ha...
<SPoC> <Dias> You'll have to have sex with Chii to distract her long enough for me tho.
<Marcus`> *Theron straitens up and pulls up his hand, tossing another snowball for Freyja.
<Marcus`> I'll pass. *he shifts to the floor*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hops up, moving over and handing Theron a wrapped present. "Here you go."
<SPoC> <Dias> You could so use the handicap pitty sex method.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances at Katrina. "A gift?" he takes it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yep. 6* She turns to Freyja, holding out a box to her.
<Kit> 6Freyja dances from toe to toe, shuffling the snow at her feet. She reaches out, then slides to the side, cradling the incoming snowball with her gently pulling palm, catching it without destroying it, then completes the arc and rebounds it for Theron, her other hand scooping up the packed snow at her feet, and she takes off running.
<SPoC> And it should be realistic. It is my old teammate Rilder.
<Kit> 6Promptly spotting Katrina a split second before slamming into her. 1"Kya!"
<Marcus`> <Theron> Thank you miss Katrina. I am sorry I have nothing for you. *he begins to open it, glancing at Freyja running into her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't question how the heck Freyja ran into her, when she was next to Theron.
<Marcus`> <Theron> She's flirting. *he notes, seeing what Kat gave him*
<DeathStar> 6* Theron got a keychain with a little elf guy with pointy ears
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and begins laughing.
<Kit> 6Freyja laughs sheepishly. She cheated, having blinked to close the distance in order to strike with her second snowball. She gives up in favor of peering at the box in her lap.
<Marcus`> I'll pass. *he says once again, he begins to do one armed push ups*
* Jennifer` wanders off, opening her box.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes off the light pain from being run into. "Merry Chrsitmas, Freyja."
<SPoC> 6Dias kneels down infront of Marcus, the wrapped Ripple blade leaning against him.
<Kit> <Freyja> Kurisumasu? Christmas..?" 6She peers at the box, then connects the dots. 1"Oh! Merry Christmas, Katrina."
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer would finy a tiny little bear in it.
* Marcus` glances up to Dias while doing the pushups, "So much for getting both ripple blades, eh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, then moves over to SPoC, holding out a small box.
* Jennifer` blinks at it and looks over the bear, she then wanders off to find Katrina to thank her.
<SPoC> <Dias> And I was so going to give it to you too.
<Kit> <Chii> I meant you are skilled at... oh forget it. That teammate impo--" 6She blinks at Katrina.
* SPoC turns, blinking at Kat. She eyes the box a curious look on her face. 1"What's that?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Merry Christmas, Miss. X.
<Marcus`> Sure you were, one day.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's a gift.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds out one to Chii now.
<Kit> 6Freyja neatly picks at the package, undoing it without destroying any manner of the packaging, opening it slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* She would find a keychain with a tiny little bell emblem.
<Marcus`> *Theron rises up and dumps a large amount of snow of Freyja's head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And for you, my dear Knight.
<SPoC> <Dias> I did really.
<Marcus`> I appreciate it. How's your back?
* Jennifer` catches up to Kat. "Merry Christmas Kat, thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Cheryl work on their computers near Cassandra.
<Kit> 6Freyja gasps, clasping her hands aside of her face. 1"Chou ai..!" 6Then is covered in snow. Strangely, she reacts not one bit, reaching through snow to pull out the bell and rub it against her cheek.
<SPoC> Christmas...6She bites her lip as she thinks. 1"Oh I remember that day." 6She takes it and, using her knife, cuts the box open. She peers inside.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a keychain with a little gun emblem.
<Cassandra`> .... *closes the box* ...anything interesting on the system?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No problem, Jennifer.
* SPoC pulls the keychain out and stares at it. 1"Why would I need such a tiny gun?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nothing much. Just data from the Ridiarium War mostly. 6* He plugs his datapad into the computer. "I'll upload the data we took from the archieves so I can begin to decipher it."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at SPoC oddly.
<Kit> 6Chii laughs softly. 1"Naito.. nya... ha...hmm? 6She looks at the box, then at SPoC opening her's and ponders. She opens it without regard for the packaging, having trouble and actually tearing the packaging to shreds before getting at what's inside.
* Jennifer` seems to think for a moment before rooting in her pocket, unable to check both of them, pouting. "I don't have anything to give in return though..."
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would find a keychain with a tiny sleeping fox emblem.
<Marcus`> <Theron> No fun. *he walks off sadly*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's okay. Just enjoy the gift. That's enough for me.
<SPoC> The trigger is ineffectively small and 6She squints. 1"I do not see any sort of energy clip for it. Does it use tiny bullets?
<Kit> 6Freyja's ears raise and she turns to Theron. 1"Oh! Sorry! I just... like bells.."
<Marcus`> 6*A snowball hits Freyja in the face.
* Jennifer` smiles, "I will Ms. McCormick."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back so she's closer to CAssandra. She gives Cassandra a devilish smile.
<Kit> 6Freyja wipes her face away with her arm. 1"You... fight dirty!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies SPoC, then just nods slowly. 
<Cassandra`> ....what?
<Marcus`> <Theron> I'm winning. *he notes with a yawn*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was thinking back to the first time we met. You remember that day?
<SPoC> It does? Do you have any bullets incase I run out of ammo than? 6She holds her hand out towards Kat
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head.
<Cassandra`> Its a bit fuzzy...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It, uh, doesn't have any ammo.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You tried to shoot me with a railgun and punctured the station wall.
<SPoC> Than why give me a gun? 6She stares, slightly frustrated
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's happy look goes away a bit. "It's for looks."
<Kit> 6Chii holds the fox out at arm's reach and squints at it disdainfully. 1"It's... It's cute..."
<Cassandra`> ...oh...right....that...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Chii's disdainful look, then sighs. "I gotta go."
<SPoC> Oh. 6She tilts her head, eyeing the keychain again. 1"I see. And where would I attach this too?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks back into the base.
* Marcus` stands upright and then glances at Dias. "I'm going out for a walk, want to come?"
* Jennifer` frowns a little and shakes her head at the two, following Kat.
<SPoC> I suppose I could handle a short walk.
<Kit> 6A snowball hits Katrina in the back of the head.
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just keeps moving.
<Marcus`> *Theron stares, "I'm your opponent."
<Kit> 6* Freyja snaps, her plan failing.
* Marcus` nods and moves towards the stairs. "Hey Kat. Want to come for a walk with me and Dias?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nah. I think I'm going to go lay down.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina heads past the two.
<Cassandra`> ..I was trying to forget that incident...
<Kit> 6Chii sits in the snow and pouts. 1"I think I pissed her off."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Forget it? 6* She looks offended. "But it's the first time we met!"
<Marcus`> Alright. Rest well. *he moves up the stairs*
<Jennifer`> "Hey Kat?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh, well thanks again Kat!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hmmm?
<Cassandra`> Not my most shining moment though.
* SPoC eyes the keychain again curiously than glances around and attaches it to her gun.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You still couldn't hit me if you tried, you know. 6* She nods slowly.
<Jennifer`> "You alright?"
<Kit> 6Freyja slowly stands and brushes herself off, staring intently at Theron.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sure. Just tired. 6* She picks out a room, turning to smile at Jennifer. "See you tomorrow." 6* She steps into the room, closing it.
<Marcus`> *Theron juggles five snowballs
* Jennifer` smiles back, but then frowns again when the door closes, turning and heading back out.
* SPoC looks over at Chii. 1"You pissed your friend off."
<Cassandra`> Nuh-uh...not gretting into a pissing context with you.
<Kit> 6Chii squints at SPoC. 1"You didn't help."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But---how else will we bond?
<Kit> 6Freyja takes her single snowball and lobs it at Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stays out of the girl's conversation
<Cassandra`> I dunno.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts and adds it too the 5 he is already juggling, he is quite nimble. "Ho ho, close."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs, looking bummed.
<SPoC> I did not understand the meaning behind the gift, that is all. You on the other showed distaste for the said gift.
<Kit> 6Freyja scoops up snow, forms it slowly, and tosses it at Theron again.
<Jennifer`> * A snowball hits the back of SPoC's head.
<SPoC> 6Dias heads up with Marcus, having left his sword behind
* Marcus` moves past everyone else, moving out into the forsest with Dias. "I need to find something to give to Kat."
<SPoC> 6SPoC blinks then turns towarsd the direction of the snowball, her pistol raised.
<Kit> <Chii> Hrmph, Freyja likes cute things, I don't want to be like her...
<Jennifer`> * No one is there.
<SPoC> <Dias> I gave her a kiss.
<Marcus`> Well then I can't give that, now can I?
<SPoC> In battle we were taught to adapt to survive situations. 6She glances around, her gun held out.
<Kit> <Freyja> You can't juggle them all!
<Kit> 6Freyja continues forming and tossing them, seemingly believing that Theron will eventually fail.
<Cassandra`> I'm open to ideas though.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why should *I* do all the thinking?
<Kit> <Chii> Hey! Watch where you're waving that thing..
<Marcus`> *Theron seems to get up to about 10 before his right hand begins tossing them back while also maintaining juggling them.
<Cassandra`> You're the one who wanted to bond.
<SPoC> I will not lower my guard when I am under attack.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, forget it, then. 6* She goes back to doing her work in a huff.
<SPoC> <Dias> Damn right you can't.
<Jennifer`> * Another snowball hits the back of Chii's head.
<Kit> 6Freyja steps aside from the first one returned, her hands raised for her bow of light. 1"Gotcha!" She launches a flurry of arrows toward the space over Theron's either shoulder, intent on making the airborn snowballs burst.
<Cassandra`> Aw, come on...I was just rassing you.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Never rass a Dragoon. They're emotional.
<Kit> 6Chii exclaims sharply, pitching forward, then turns and climbs to her feet, balancing with her hands before snarling. 1"The hell!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to face Warren with an eerie look of certain death
* X1 has joined #taw
<Cassandra`> Ok, I won't do it again.
<Marcus`> *Theron stops suddenly, the snowballs fall just inches away from the arrows. He tilts his head and eyes Freyja. "You could have injured me.
<Jennifer`> * No one is there.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up blankly, then back down at his datapad. He picks up a piece of paper and holds it up in front of Cheryl's face so he can't see it
<Kit> 6Freyja pouts then laughs. 1"Could not."
* Marcus` pauses and squints. "Do you see that?" he points out.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps next time I will play this game with my pistol. *he narrows his eyes*
<SPoC> 6Dias looks at where Marcus is pointing. 1"I see trees."
<Marcus`> Under those pines. You see that flower? *he begins to move towards it*
<Kit> <Freyja> I don't mind. Though I doubt you have as much practice with it as I do these. They're spiritual in nature and I've had thousands of years to be absolutely certain they travel nowhere I do not expect.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mutters about Warren being a jerk.
<SPoC> <Dias> What color is it? 6He moves alongside him
<Kit> 6Freyja grins. 1"However, with you, I am sure you are just as accurate."
<Marcus`> White. With a little red on the bottom leaf. *he slides up to it and kneels down* Flowers can grow in snow? *he seems confused*
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't know, am I botanist?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps. *he shifts his foot and kicks up, throwing a cloud of snow up towards Freyja.*
<SPoC> I do not like this now. 6She begins backing up towards the stairway.
<Kit> <Freyja> K-kyaaa!
* Jennifer` steps out on Theron and Frey just as he kicks, getting mauled by snow.
<Jennifer`> "Ack!"
<Marcus`> 6*Once the snow cloud is gone, Theron is as well.
<Kit> 6Chii retreats with SPoC, paranoically. 1"Our enemy is cunn..."
<Kit> 6Chii squints toward the other thr-- two..
<Cassandra`> Well, will you be willing to hit the training mat instead of having a pissing contest?
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, it's just the runt.
* Jennifer` falls voer on Frey.
* SPoC backs down the stairs, her gun held upwards as she moves
<Kit> 6Freyja pitches into the snow, also covered in it and a Jennifer, looking dizzy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pissing contest? 6* She looks offended. "Are you saying I'm acting like a man?"
* Marcus` eyes it carefully and then begins to extract the flower in a clump of dirt, roots and all.
<SPoC> <Dias> Pscht, nothing can top my kiss.
* Jennifer` pulls herself up, covered in snow. x.x
<Marcus`> I'm not trying to top your kiss. I'm more mature than that. *he stands up and quickly moves back for base, so he can find a pot to put it in, or at least a make-shift pot*
<Cassandra`> Look, whatever. *waves her hand around*
<SPoC> 6Dias grumbles as Marcus begins to out walk him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes back to working.
* Cassandra` stands up and leaves the command center.
<Marcus`> 6*A snowball hits Jen in the back on the head, another hits Freyja.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Jennifer` falls back over on Frey.
* SPoC holsters her gun and glances around, she glances at the keychain on her gun and she turns, moving to a room
* Marcus` moves past them and quickly moves off into the mess hall.
<Kit> 6Chii sits on the edge of the stairway entry, laughing at the two being pelted.
<Kit> 6Freyja grumbles slightly. 1"You're heavy.."
* Jennifer` stands back up, holding her head. "Sorry... Freyja right?"
* Marcus` steps up to Katrina's door and knocks gently.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes Jenn on top of Freyja, he stares at them.
<Marcus`> 6*A snowball flies in for Dias' head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door, wearing only a shirt. "Hmmm?"
<SPoC> 6Dias suddenly hits the ground a look of pain on his face.
<SPoC> 6The snowball missed of course
* Marcus` holds up the flower he aquired in a can, "Merry Christmas."
* Jennifer` holds out her hand to help Frey up
<Marcus`> 6*A snowball flies for Dias on the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks, then beams, taking it into her hands. "It's beautiful."
<SPoC> 6Dias is hit. He gets up rubbing his head. He grumbles and moves down the steps
* Marcus` smiles. "So you like it?"
<Kit> 6Freyja peers curiously at Jennifer, then accepts the hand and rises, shaking herself as much as she can to remove snow. 1"Mm, you remember names well."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I do! Thank you, Marcus. How'd you find it?
<Marcus`> Well when I went out for a walk, I just stumbled across it. Luck was smiling down on me.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wow. 6* She moves over and puts the pot down on a dresser.
<SPoC> 6Dias limps downt he hallway.
<SPoC> 6SPoC steps out of a room with two knifes she passes by Dias and heads back upstairs
<Jennifer`> "I try... I'm Jennifer, by the way. Jennifer Carmicheal."
* Marcus` leans against her doorway. "You seemed a bit upset coming down the steps, I wanted to make you smile."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns back, smiling at him. "That's sweet."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks over and gives him a kiss on the cheek.
<Marcus`> You did lift my spirits after all. *he smiles at her* Well I'll let you get back to your sleep.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you. Merry Christmas, Mr. Jones.
* SPoC heads outside and begins gathering snow up to the side.
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks a few times. 1"Carmichael? You're that...?"
<Jennifer`> "That what?"
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Ho ho, a child of that man? How interesting.
<Jennifer`> "Sorta... yeah."
<Marcus`> You too, Ms. McCormick. *he winks at her and moves off down the hall*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles after him, and shuts the door.
<DeathStar> NRP: WARNING! WARNING! TIME JUMP ENGAGING
<Marcus`> NRP: EEEEEk!
<Kit> 6Freyja waves her hand dismissingly. 1"One need not blood or the tie of something physical to be related. He allows you to use his name, that should say something.
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Ho ho... Hah.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: A Minute Before Midnight
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works on getting information off the datapad to decode.
<Kit> 6Chii sulks in a corner of the main area, scowling at nothing in particular.
* Cassandra` has since found some quarters.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Face the wall if you're going to sulk.
<SPoC> 6Dias sleeps on his bed, a pile of covers buring him
* Marcus` sleeps quietly in his own bed.
<SPoC> 6SPoC kneels infront of a snow pile, her knifes carving into it.
* Jennifer` is snug in bed, sleeping away.
<Marcus`> *Theron sits in a chair in the main area, he seems to be reading an old book he found lying around.
<Kit> 6Chii glares at Warren, but says nothing, holding the keychain she received off on her pinky and turning her angry looks upon it, though her cheeks redden slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* The power suddenly goes out and the tempature drops to an unnatural level fast. Warren pauses as his own breath is visible.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up. "Generator failure?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Unlikely.
* Cassandra` steps out of her room and heads for the command center.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns around in his chair, glancing around.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts his book aside and slides his hand for his gun. Eyes looking about.
<DeathStar> 6* It is now pitch black.
* Jennifer` shivers and tightens her covers, still asleep.
<Kit> 6Freyja laughs in the darkness.
* Marcus` shivers pulling a pillow over his head.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, that's just unsettling.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps she is doing one of her illusions?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Gomen, couldn't help it!
<DeathStar> 6* Someone slips into Marcus' room.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh no..." 6Giggling. 1"It's not me."
<SPoC> 6Dias throws the covers over his head as he painfully curls into a ball
* Marcus` seems oblivious, still wrapped up and seemingly just a pile of covers and pillows.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Her crap wouldn't work on me.
<Marcus`> <Theron> This is very unsettling then.
<Cassandra`> ...what happened? *steppign into command center*
* SPoC stands up and begins using her knifes to cut the top of the snow pile
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out his gun from his holster, aiming it at Cassandra, then recognizes her voice.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We are attempting to determine that
<DeathStar> 6* Someone removes Marcus' blankets from him.
* Jennifer` clings to her covers, sleeping on.
<DeathStar> 6* No oen cares about YOUR covers, Jennifer.
* Jennifer` wins. And sleeps on.
* Marcus` shifts and has his gun aimed toward whoever is removing his covers.
<DeathStar> 6* A hand gently pushes the gun to the side, and a delicate finger runs along his face. Lips touch his own.
<Cassandra`> Should I go patrol? I still have full vision.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Go ahead.
* Marcus` pauses and lowers his gun, apparently kissing someone. He seems quite confused, is he dreaming?
<Marcus`> <Theron> What should I do?
* Cassandra` nods and starts checking the base...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Go with Arakawa.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Understood. *he stands up and moves after Cass*
<Kit> <Chii> Katrina...
<Cassandra`> How's your vision?
<DeathStar> 6* The person slides into the bed with Marcus
<Kit> 6More giggling, Freyja murmurs. 1"So predictable."
<Kit> <Chii> Urusai!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in his chair.
<Marcus`> <Theron> It's not that good in the dark. But my hearing will hopefully make up for that.
<Cassandra`> Stick close to me then...I can see everything.
<Kit> <Chii> ...If... It's any consolation, Warren, I ...I don't feel anything too malignant about.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
* Marcus` shifts to allow the person to get into the bed, he shakes his head slightly, but pauses, not wanting to wake up from this dream.
<DeathStar> 6* Someone stalks Cassandra.
* Cassandra` glances over her shoulder...
<Marcus`> <Theron> I will. *he moves along, listening for any signs of the enemy.*
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra sees Theron.
* Jennifer` shivers and blinks awake, mumbling, "Cheap on the heat..." She rolls over and goes back to sleep.
<Kit> <Freyja> Things are so fun around you, Warren. Nyo ho ho...
<Cassandra`> Come on. LEt's check the main power diistribution points.
<DeathStar> 6* Hands carefully take Marcus' jogging pants and slides them down.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This isn't an anime. Don't laugh like a retard.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods silently, moving with Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* Stalk, stalk, stalk
<Kit> <Freyja> So says the man with his own language of grunts.
* Marcus` allows them, despite the amount of cold that he is enduring right now.
* Cassandra` checks the first power junction...
<DeathStar> 6* Everything seems fine.
<DeathStar> 6* The hands remove the boxers in the dark, apparantly having no handicaps.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra and Theron are quietly stalked.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his gun against his knee.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances over his shoulder, his vision is limited but his hearing isn't.
<DeathStar> 6* Shadows are there. The stalking pauses.
* Marcus` makes no attempt to stop them, why should he?
* Cassandra` turns, switching across the sensor spectrum...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy covers her eyes with her hands, in order to render herself invisible through sheer force of will to Cassandra.
<Kit> 6Chii leaves at some point to check on Katrina. She isn't bothered by darkness-- Granted, she can't see in the dark, but for whatever reason she feels at ease in it.
<Cassandra`> ..Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy keeps her eyes covered. "You can't see me."
<Cassandra`> Yes, I can,
<Marcus`> <Theron> I don't see anyone. *he notes casually*
<DeathStar> <Billy> See? My powers work on Theron.
* Jennifer` rolls out of bed and yawns, stumbling around in the dark.
<DeathStar> 6* A voice whispers things to Marcus as he sleeps, and a hand slides along him
<Cassandra`> Because the lights are off.
<Marcus`> 6*Little Marcus rises to attention, "There a party!?" Ok, he doesn't say that, but he's interested in the situation.
<DeathStar> <Billy> What's up? I sense ghosts about.
<Cassandra`> Ghosts?
<Kit> <Freyja> Awww, did you have to tell them so soon?" 6She... stands beside Cassandra, then glances away, almost through a wall.
<Marcus`> <Theron> That isn't something I would like to hear.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You can practically feel the ghostly needs from here.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I wonder if it's a Succubus.
* Cassandra` pinches the bridge of her nose...
<DeathStar> 6* Someone straddles Marcus
<Cassandra`> *comm* Warren, you read me?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks the comm on in his eat. "Yes."
<Kit> <Freyja> Succubi aren't ghosts...
<Cassandra`> *comm* Billy says we've got ghosts. Then something about a succubus.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, yeah, but the needs are the same.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I don't have powers, so it's not like I can tell for sure.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm.
* Marcus` slides his hand along the body of the person, apparently he is awake enough to know what to do.
<Cassandra`> *comm* I'd say account for all personnel until we have ID'd this thing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll have to do a room by room check, then.
<Kit> <Freyja> It's a spirit. But... that's all I can say." 6She flickers away, going topside to lounge about facing the moon, thinking about something entirely else.
<Cassandra`> NRP: I need to go AFK for a few minutes.
* Jennifer` crashes into a wall, cursing.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren comms. Cheryl, since he knows she has one. She bitches him out immediately. "Cheryl's clear."
* SPoC continues working on the snow pile
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus begins to get lucky.
* Marcus` gets woken by this, he opens his eyes to peer at who the lucky lady is.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves, knocking on Dias' door.
<SPoC> 6No response
<DeathStar> 6* The person kisses Marcus as he opens his eyes, blinding his eyes with hair.
<Marcus`> *Theron knocks again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to knock on Jennifer's door.
<SPoC> 6Still no response.
<Marcus`> <Theron on Comm> Sir, i'm not getting a response from Dias' room.
* Jennifer` blinks a bit. "The door! Keep knocking!"
* Jennifer` heads for it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl knocks again
* Jennifer` gets to it, opening up.
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> He must be in trouble. Open it up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You got a ghost in there?
* Jennifer` has a bruise on her forehead. "It was dark, but no ghost."
<Jennifer`> "A-Are there ghosts here?"
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts to open the door, he would pick the lock if he had too, his gun sweeps the room as he looks about for an enemy, and by looks, he listens.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. We got a situation at Dias. Lets go there. 6* She turns and moves to Dias' room
<SPoC> 6There's just a huge pile of blankets on Dias bed
* Jennifer` nods and walks out in her PJs, following Cheryl
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and moves over to pull the blankets back, pistol aimed at them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl arrives at Dias' room, peering inside.
<SPoC> 6Dias is lieing there, wearing boxers.
<Marcus`> <Theron on Comm> ....Dias is clear. *he throws the covers back on him, stepping back*
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Disappointing.
* Marcus` shifts his arm to her shoulder, pushing slightly because he wants her straitened up, but he also wants to see her face.
* SPoC humms a tune as she continue scultping the snowpile
<DeathStar> 6* The person keeps working Marcus for what they want from him, keeping their face hidden for now
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries SPoC's room.
<DeathStar> 6* She knocks.
<SPoC> 6No response sadly
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts to move to the next room, Katrina's. He knocks.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No response from N.
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to open the door.
* Jennifer` keeps following CHeryl, looking about spooked.
<DeathStar> 6* No response from Katrina's room.
<SPoC> 6She finds no one inside
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps her comm. "N is missing, Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren narrows his eyes.
<Marcus`> <Theron on Comm> No response from Katrina. *he opens it, stepping in*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's room is empty. There's nothing inside but a bed that's been slept in, but is empty now
<Marcus`> <Theron on Comm> Katrina is missing as well.
<Kit> <Chii> She's not back yet?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns.
<Kit> 6Chii sulks beside Katrina's doorway. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii sulking, then just smacks her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Grow up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and moves down for Marcus' door.
<Cassandra`> NRP: Back
<Kit> 6Chii rears back and glares. 1"H-hey!"
<Marcus`> *Theron slips back out into the hallway, moving to Marcus' door since it is last.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods to Theron
* Marcus` grasps onto ther girl's ass tightly, moaning slightly.
<Kit> 6Chii puffs her cheeks, guarding Katrina's empty room.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses, glancing at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do I hear moans inside?
<Marcus`> <Theron on Comm> Unidentified sounds coming from Marcus' room, he may be in trouble. *he shifts to open the door, gun sweeping out*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl touches her comm. "I think Marcus is being fucked to death."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just pops a vicodin.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides inside, and sees a sight she'd rather not.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses, staring at the bed.
<Cassandra`> *comm* I'm on my way. *heads for Marcus' room.
* Jennifer` whimpers, waiting outside, knowing she shouldn't look.
<Cassandra`> What have we got? *spokens as she arrives*
<DeathStar> 6* On top of Marcus is a strange woman that no one has seen before.
<DeathStar> 6* She turns to face them, glaring with hatred.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peeks inside.
* Marcus` pauses at the sudden stopping, he glances towards the others, then the woman. "..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, wow. It's so..
<Marcus`> <Theron> Identify yourself. *he aims at her*
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, I expected so much more.
<Cassandra`> *comm* Warren, we found our succubus.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Go away!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her energy whip
<Cassandra`> How about no.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. Deal with it as you see fit.
<Marcus`> Succubus!? *he freaks, pushing her off and sliding naked out of the bed*
<DeathStar> 6* The woman hits the ground. "B-But---don't leave me, my love!"
* Cassandra` trains her gun on the 'succubus'
<Marcus`> LOVE!? *he freaks more and runs out of his room*
<DeathStar> 6* The woman holds her sides, shaking and howls in anguish as he runs out on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Marcus run by naked.
<Cassandra`> Freeze.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Don't leave me...my love...not again....
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns. "This is sad."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just sort of stares down at the woman as she sobs.
* Jennifer` stares as Marcus runs by then, stares at a wall.
* Marcus` runs by Chii naked as well, moving for...well apparently he's running to hide.
<Cassandra`> *comm* I'm transmitting my visual on our succubus...any matches on file that may tell us whoo she might have been?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll check my datapad. 6* He says into his comm, then begins to run a match search
<DeathStar> 6* The woman lays there on the floor, crying about being abandoned again, and she slowly begins to glow
<Cassandra`> ...heads up...
<Marcus`> <Theron> Glowing is bad. *he backs up*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out of the bathroom, having needed to take a late night pee and having trouble in the dark
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl prepares herself, but the woman merely shrinks and turns back into a flower.
* Jennifer` stares at the wall still, she's going to need years of therapy at this rate.
* Marcus` bumps into katrina, having planned on hiding in the bathroom to grab a towel.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks down at Marcus' soldier, then up at him.
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> I found a match.
* Marcus` glances down and then at Katrina. "I got raped by a succubus. Don't judge me." He shifts by her to move in and grab a towel.
<Cassandra`> *comm* What do you have? She just pulled a disappearing act. *picks up the flower*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ....
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> One Maria Reinbach. She vanished on Christmas Eve over 20 years ago when going on her honeymoon with her husband to a cabin in the woods. The two got lost in the woods, and froze to death
* Marcus` steps back out after wrapping himself up. "...I already don't like this place."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the photo of the two on his datapad.
<Kit> 6Freyja dusts her hands off as she listens to Warren in the dark. 1"Oh, so we met a Yuki-Onna after all."
<Kit> <Freyja> I put up wards.
<DeathStar> 6* The lights come back on finally.
<Marcus`> <Theron on Comm> What should we do with the flower?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deactivates her whip, and eyes the beautiful flower.
<Cassandra`> ...a yukionna...
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> .... Return it to the woods. 6* He clicks off his comm, putting his fist to his chin as he sits there, brooding.
<Kit> <Freyja> Haha, I wondered before if we'd meet one. Coincidence.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Marcus, still looking a bit worked up down there. "Was it good?" 6* She asks Marcus slowly.
<Cassandra`> I'll do the honors. Anything withotu breasts is a target. *starts walking*
<Marcus`> Best I ever had. *he says sadly*
* Jennifer` just keeps staring at the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods slowly, turning to go back to her room
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets up and walks off away from Freyja.
* Marcus` sadly walks back towards his room to go to sleep, watching Theron and Cass step out.
<Kit> 6Freyja walks over and peers at what he was working on.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out, looking a bit melancholy. She just punches Marcus in the shoulder as she walks by.
<DeathStar> 6* It's closed down and password protected.
* Marcus` glances at her, "What was that for?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Typical.
* Cassandra` heads back to the surface.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just walks off.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back into her room
<Kit> 6Chii glomps Katrina upon entry.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands there, then slides Chii off of her. "Not right now, Chii."
<Kit> <Chii> ...
* Jennifer` follows Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii sniffles and huddles in the corner.
* Marcus` slumps down and pulls his underwears and pants back on, covering himself up. Sighing as he lays there, not sleepy.
* Cassandra` moves a bit into the woods and then sets the flower down under a tree.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves back to pick up his book and read.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina checks to see if Chii is doing this in her room or not.
<DeathStar> 6* The flower looks very sad and beautiful out in the snow.
* Cassandra` sighs as she looks at the flower...
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-587.12.25
<DeathStar> Location: Warren's HQ
<DeathStar> 6* It's a beautiful Christmas Day.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there, looking like she wants to hurt people. She hates mornings.
* SPoC leans down over Kat, staring down at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wakes up and lets out a scream.
<Kit> 6Chii was sulking in the room's corner but.. time and all.
<Marcus`> *Theron sits at a table, quietly eating breakfast. A ration.
* SPoC leaps back and spins around, her gun out, the keychain dangling.
* Jennifer` is eating breakfast too, staring at the table.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes deep breaths. "Holy Geeze, you scared me."
* Cassandra` heads back outside, curious about the flower...
<DeathStar> 6* The flower seems to have wilted away.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up at Jen. "Morning. You alright?"
* Marcus` finally steps out of his room, not wearing a shirt since those need full attention to put on with only one arm. He stumbles towards the bathroom.
<Cassandra`> *sighs* ....just following orders. *heads back inside*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits down across from Jennifer and just plops down a box without saying a word.
* SPoC holsters her gun. 1"I am sorry about that, I did not think I would startle you.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How could you not?
<SPoC> I would not be scared so I only assumed you would not be scared. 6SHe nods
* Jennifer` blinks and looks up, seeing the box, "I'm alright... THeron..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squints. "Oh..kay. Can I help you with something?"
* Jennifer` looks at Warren then gently takes the box.
<SPoC> Yes, get dressed and follow me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eats cereal with a scowl
* Marcus` shifts into the bathroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, then complies slowly.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Warren and Jennifer and then resumes eating.
* SPoC turns, and moves out of her room, she heads down the hallway towarsd the main room and towards the stairs leading up.
<Cassandra`> 6* A spoon darts out and steals some of Theron's food.
* Jennifer` opens the box.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wraps a scarf around her face and follows SPoC outside
* Marcus` steps back out of the bathroom, grumbling about how hard it is to wash your HAND. He sighs and moves into the training room, doing a morning workout.
<Marcus`> *Theron grasps the spoon with his hand firmly, glancing to who owns the spoon.
* SPoC turns. 1"You will close your eyes now."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna wanders out to get breakfast, looking like living dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside are two earrings. She would recognize them - they were her mother's in the alternate timeline, and no doubt belonged to Warren's woman in this one.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Share!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina complies.
<Cassandra`> ...hey, Setsuna... you alright...?
<Marcus`> *Theron blinks, his eyes widening. "Myria!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't look surprised at Myria being there
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...too much Christmas spirits..."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> That's me.
* SPoC grabs Kat's hand and leads her outside to the bright snow layered forest. She leads her several feet to the side.
<Cassandra`> I'm feeling a bit bummed after last night.
<Marcus`> <Theron> When did you get here? *he releases her spoon, sliding the ration towards her*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets herself be led along
* Jennifer` takes them out, holding them in her hand, staring at them, then up at Warren, blushing a little.
<SPoC> You may open your eyes now. 6She stops, standing there.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just keeps his grumpy scowl.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Hmmm...after you went to bed. *rocks on her heels*
<Kit> 6Christmas carries on happily, with both kitsune folk missing.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...something I missed?" *pours eggnog on her cereal without realizing it*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a deep breath, then opens her eyes.
<Cassandra`> Tragic love stories...
* Jennifer` stops blushing after a moment, "Thank you..."
<SPoC> 6Before her stands a snowman replica of Kat herself, perfectly scuplted in as best a way a snowman can be
<Marcus`> <Theron> But how did you get here?
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts something akin to "You're welcome"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> I have phenomenal cosmic powers now! *poses!*
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna nods. Then pauses. "...this milk tastes like booze..." 6She resumes eating.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I...see. Well Merry Christmas Miss Myria. Sadly I do not have a gift for you.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Well...we don't observe such an occassion anyway... *rocks on her heels again*
* Jennifer` puts them away carefully with her one hand, best she can, and finishes her breakfast.
<Cassandra`> Like booze?
* SPoC looks at Kat, having not gotten a response from her.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I know. But since we are here...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina seems to be staring. She circles the snowman. "This is REALLY good."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...booze is good."
<Cassandra`> Something up with you...?
* SPoC stares at Kat, watching her. 1"It is all I could give you. I do not believe we can bring it inside tho, unless you can convince Warren to lower the temperature."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Then I want....hmmm....delicious Omega Cokes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you very much, Miss. X.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at SPoC
<Marcus`> <Theron> Fraid i'm fresh out.
<SPoC> Miss X? 6She tilts her head.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *falls over*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know your real name.
<SPoC> You never asked for my real name. 6She falls onto her back and begins making a snow angel
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Myria. "Finish your ration." He looks forward again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay. What's your real name?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...not my favorite holiday."
<SPoC> I like the name Natalie.
<Cassandra`> Why not?
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *leaps to her feet*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hops up onto Setsuna's lap, holding up a present to CAssandra and Setsuna
<DeathStar> <Billy> Merry Christmas!
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel gives Marcus a nut for a present.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks over at Cass, "Well... some other time." 6She gives Billy a tight hug. "This isn't going to explode, is it?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm offended you think I would give you a bomb for a present. That's something I'd give Dias.
* Marcus` glances up at the squirrel, and accepts the nut, "Thank you."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. Natalie it is.
* Cassandra` takes the box.
<Cassandra`> Shall we open it?
* SPoC smiles as she stares up at the sky. 1"Did Chii offend you?"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Anywaaaaaay...you were really easy to find.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *frowns a bit* I guess she hurt my feelings a bit, but that's how Chii is.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Oh?
<Jennifer`> "Merry Christmas..." *she smiles at Warren and starts to put her dishes away, having to take trips*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Hey... nothing wrong with bombs, if they're not primed before they get to you."
<SPoC> 6Dias steps into the main room, coughing, his body charcoal black
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves at Dias. "You like it?"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Mmmm-hmmm!
* Cassandra` opens the box...
<Marcus`> <Theron> Why is that?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna watches, curious what's inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside the box is a colored picture of Setsuna, Cassandra, and Billy all holding hands together, smiling happily --- ontop of the dead bodies of their enemies
<SPoC> Why did she hurt your feelings? 6She sits up and hugs her knees.
<SPoC> <Dias> Next time forward my presents to Marcus first.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, it's nothing. 6* She waves her hand. "I just thought she'd like my present, but she didn't."
<Cassandra`> Well...its...different.
<SPoC> 6Dias sits down in a chair
<DeathStar> 6* Billy beams.
<SPoC> Did I offend you? 6She tilts her head.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna smiles at that. A tear in the corner of her eye.
* Marcus` shifts and hops up to do a handstand only on his one hand, his legs are spread out and he does his best to keep his balance.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Baffled me more, more or less.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Oh, I just loaded your biosig and then zapped the planet with a tachyon pulse.
<SPoC> I see.
<Cassandra`> You really captured the dead look in Adam's eyes.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I also made sure to put his body under a bridge.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see. Let us hope that our enemies cannot do that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps looking like miss grumpy.
* SPoC stands up, dusting the snow off her. 1"How is it that your so pretty?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks, caught off guard.
<SPoC> Most people do not look good when they awake. You seem to not be affected by this. Why?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess I'm a morning person.
<SPoC> Am I a morning person? 6She pulls her knife out and holds it infront of her to stare at the reflection
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> They are not Myria! *pose*
* Marcus` shifts to his feet, doing decently well for himseld. "Come'on Squirrel, let's go get some breakfast."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You seem to be one.
<DeathStar> 6* The Squirrel nods, pointing ahead for his minion to proceed.
<Marcus`> <Theron> That they are not. They are ugly, bad people.
<SPoC> It is most likely from my training.
* Marcus` steps into the mess hall with his squirrel, moving to look for something to eat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "I think we should give you a new kind of training. Social training." 6* She seems interested in this concept.
<SPoC> <Dias> Dude, you have a squirrel on your shoulder.
<SPoC> Will it help my kill people? 6She leans towards Kat.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> ...soooo...what trouble are you in now?
<SPoC> Than how will it benefit me?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hooo, girl, you're going to need a lot of work
<Marcus`> <Theron> It's a very long story. I'll tell you some othertime. *he smiles at her*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll draft Jennifer to help me. Something tells me she'll get a kick out of that.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Well... Billy. There's something at the foot of our bed, if you want to run and grab it."
* Marcus` glances up. "He is my evil attack squirrel. Watch. Squirrel, attack Dias."
<SPoC> But I'm a Special Op's soldier. I am the elite of the Military Force.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks left, then right, then leaps off off Setsuna and sneaks off
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel stares.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmhm. 6* She leads SPoC back inside, nodding her head.
<Cassandra`> Billy?
* Marcus` whispers. "There's a nut in his pants for you."
<DeathStar> 6* She seems to be heading for the bed.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Hmmmmm *puffs out her cheeks*
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel's head turns to face Dias' balls like the Terminator. A gleam can be seen briefly.
* SPoC follows Kat obediently
<SPoC> <Dias> ...I don't like that look.
<Marcus`> You shouldn't.
<Kit> 6As the two head back inside, as if fatefully avoiding their senses, gunshots go off in the woods, followed by a few flashes of light and some laughing. Too bad they went inside.
<SPoC> <Dias> He's got bigger nuts in his pants. 6He points at Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel attacks.
<Marcus`> <Theron> So Miss Myria. Would you like to have a snowball fight with me? I'm undefeated.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *nibbles on her food* "...hope she comes back with it before opening it."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waves Jennifer over.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm?
* Jennifer` walks over to Kat.
<Jennifer`> "Mmmm...?"
<SPoC> 6Dias begins fighting with the squirrel now
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I was thinking we should give Natalie some social training. Want in?
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> You lose. *peers at him*
<Jennifer`> "Sure."
<Marcus`> <Theron> I do not.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...don't have a lot of experience getting gifts. So I wanted to see her reaction."
<SPoC> I do not require this social training.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel zaps him with electricity beams.
<SPoC> 6Dias squeels and he chucks the squirrel at Warren's face
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Warren, can I socially train Natalie?
* SPoC looks at Warren curiously
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. 6* He holds up his gun and shoots the squirrel before it lands on his face.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> pulls out a box and presses a button. A pile of snow drops down on Theron from out of no where.
* Marcus` pauses. "You shot my squirrel..."
<DeathStar> 6* The Squirrel flops over, smoking.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I used stun.
<SPoC> <Dias> Atleast he didn't shoot your nuts.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy comes back with the package.
<Marcus`> Oh thank god. *he shifts back to eat*
<Marcus`> *Theron looks like a real life snowman, he coughs and sends out a cloud of snow. "You cheated."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Jennifer seriously.
* SPoC hmpfs a look of disapointment on her face now
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *finishing up Theron's food*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I want that snow removed. 6* He notes to Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy plops down and begins to open it.
* Marcus` watches Billy curiously.
* SPoC eyes Jen. 1"It is christmas. I forgot." 6She hands her, her pink gloves. 1"For you."
* Jennifer` blinks and looks at them.
<SPoC> 6The two pink gloves stare back at her
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Now... I wasn't sure what you'd like Billy. Frilly and pink never seemed your style..." 6Inside is a burlap looking doll, that seems to bear a resemblance to a certain werewolf. "Didn't test it, so I don't know how well it works."
<SPoC> They are 100% Synthetic Cotton, guaranteed to keep your hands warm even in 10 below weather.
* Jennifer` pokets them, freeing her hand. "I'll be sure to wear them both when I get a replacement. Thank you."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares at the doll, her eyes widening a bit.
<SPoC> Replacement. 6She studies Jennifer than looks at her hand. 1"Ah yes, you lost your hand. I forgot."
* Marcus` eyes it. "That's a handsome werewolf."
<DeathStar> <Billy> For real?! You're the best! 6* She hugs Setsuna
* Jennifer` looks at Kat and nods.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna smiles, and hugs Billy. "Just don't over do it... too much."
* Cassandra` laughs
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to bend the leg awkwardly on the doll
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods back.
<SPoC> 6Dias sits up and goes to shower.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *sighs and teleports the snow outside*
* Marcus` glances down at his leg. "...hey That...oh son of a bitch..."
<DeathStar> 6* The leg kicks Dias.
<Kit> 6Freyja makes an appearance, peering over gift receiving. She stands and streeetches, not levitating for the moment for whatever reason, and wipes a few smudges of dirt away from her face and brushes the same and snow from her dress.
<SPoC> 6Dias recoils and turns, punching Marcus out of reflex
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Freyja.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "I'll kill you, Dias."
<SPoC> <Dias> You kicked me, ass. 6He turns and walks off.
* Marcus` glances at Billy. "...oh no."
<Cassandra`> ...wow...it works...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy mwahahahas.
<Kit> 6Freyja turns awkward and peers at Katrina, suddenly gaining a sheepish expression. 1"...Eh-heheh..." 6Nervousness creeps up in her voice and she emanates it, despite a load of satisfaction.
* Marcus` sighs and slumps off to hide.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you...nervous, Frey?
* SPoC eyes the two and begins to back up, using this time to make her great escape
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pinches a certain part.
<Kit> <Freyja> Maybe?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What about? 6* She studies her curiously.
<Marcus`> OW! *he yells out, and the sound of him falling over can be heard*
<Marcus`> *Theron pats Myria on the head and moves to walk outside.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh, it's nothing too terribly important...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks completely ecstatic.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks to Cass, "Well... it makes her happy."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. Well, okay. If you're sure.
<Cassandra`> Yes, it does...
* Jennifer` eyes SPoC.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to plot a strategy with Jennifer.
* Jennifer` nods to Kat's plans, smiling.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves into the showers and strips down, getting all lathered up
* SPoC is gone sincei t took Jenn that long to look towarsd her

* Xanatos is outside, hanging from a tree branch doing one armed pull ups.
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<Marcus`> *Theron continues to sit and read his book, it being the day after christmas, he is relaxing and enjoying the brief repieve from all the action.
<Kit> 6Chii stands at the ready outside the staircase entry, pondering the idea of Marcus as a moving target hanging from a tree.
* Chad`Winters is now known as SPoC
* SPoC pokes her head slowly around a corner of one of the hallways
<Angela> * Jennifer leans down, looking at the title of Theron's book.
* Marcus` continues to do his pull ups, oblivious to Chii. He's spent most of Christmas day and the extent of this morning training.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up at Jennifer, reading his book, Horton Hears a Who. Just kidding it's just a random fiction novel.
<Angela> Jen> "Any good?"
<Kit> 6Freyja floats about a corner, twirling in circles apparently decorating a small ...antique TV antenna with remnants from twigs of trees, various cloth implements, then ties the bell chain to the top.
<Kit> 6Freyja pauses in her revolutions and sits crosslegged in the air, claps her hands twice and nods her head in prayer.
* SPoC hops out from around the corner and moves down the hallway.
<Marcus`> <Theron> It has vampires and werewolves. Though now, it does not seem like much of a fiction novel.
<Angela> Jen> "You have vampires and werewolves in this reality?"
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly rises from behind Jen. 1"BOOO!"
<Marcus`> <Theron> We do. *he pauses, eyeing DIas*
<Angela> * Jennifer eeks and leaps up, turning and pointing. "Vampire???"
<Kit> 6Freyja leans up and bends over backwards in the air, peering at Theron, Dias and Jennifer as she lulls there.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Yes, Stake him.
<SPoC> 6Dias turns a look of panic and he leaps into Jen's arms. 1"VAMPIRE? WHERE?!"
<Angela> *Jennifer falls over, gasping for air, "Ack! It's attacking me!"
* Marcus` drops down from the tree, stretching out his arm, he brings his hand up to wipe away some of the sweat as he shifts to move towards the base, he eyes Chii as he moves closer. "What are you doing?"
<Marcus`> *Theron reaches out and thawps them both in the head with his book. "I killed it."
<Kit> 6Chii suddenly looks away with a guilty expression. 1"Betsuni... Nothing important."
<Angela> Jenn> "Oh... ugh, it's just Dias... you're too heavy for me!"
<SPoC> 6Dias panics more then is hit and he just looks around, still ontop of her. 1"Pscht, Vampires aren't scary.
<Marcus`> Your expression would speak otherwise.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I like vampires, they are very talented beings.
<Kit> 6Chii shakes her head, grumbling. 1"Never mind that..."
<SPoC> The only thing to fear is zombies. 6He nods. 1"And tapioca pudding." 6He shudders
<Angela> *Jen squirms about under Dias.
<Kit> <Chii> You're training, aren't you?
<Marcus`> Yes I am. I need to get used to fighting with only one arm.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Tapioca pudding is wonderful.
<Kit> <Freyja> Vampires are despicable. They're the epitome of the unnatural spirits dwelling in life.
<Marcus`> <Theron> That's rude. Some vampires are nice.
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly pears up and looks at Freyja. 1"VAMPIRE" 6He points at her.
<Kit> 6Freyja squints. 1"..."
<Kit> <Freyja> You know pleasant ones, Theron?
<Angela> Jenn> "The strangely laughing one is a Vampire?"
<Kit> <Chii> Why's that? Don't people in this day and age just replace things they've lost?
<Marcus`> <Theron> I did meet one, she was very pleasant, but then she died. *he nods*
<Kit> <Freyja> Were she a vampire, wasn't she already dead?
<SPoC> 6Dias rubs his stomach, than Jen suddenly get's a wiff of what can only be the narliest smell ever to eminate from a rectum.
<Marcus`> I'm not in the position to get my limb replaced, right now, and I don't know when I'll be able too. So I need to be ready just in case.
<Angela> * Jen coughs and gags, squirming about, "Okay off!!!:
* SPoC peers into the main room, glancing around
<Kit> 6Chii raises an eyebrow. 1"Cassandra replaced numerous parts of her body with no notice as far as I'm aware of. Maybe you should ask her where she gets her nails done."
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and sniffs. "..." He lifts up Dias so Jen can get free, apprently holding his breath now.
<SPoC> 6Dias refuses to move, in fact he seems to be adjustin to keep, ah damn he got lifted.
<Angela> * Jen scrambles to her feet.
<Marcus`> *Theron drops him, sitting back down. "You are disgusting."
* X1 has joined #taw
<SPoC> <Dias> I know you are, but what am I? 6He sticks his tongue off and turns, moving off to go outside
<SPoC> NRP: Out
* Marcus` rubs his chin, then shrugs, which is odd looking since he only had one arm. "I guess I may." He rotates his neck, popping it slightly.
<Angela> * Jen runs fingers through her hair with her only hand, she then looks at Theron. "So tehre are really... monsters?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> You met Legion, did you not?
<Kit> 6Chii nods. 1"While we're speaking-- What's the story behind that..."
<Kit> 6Chii frowns, having trouble describing who she means.
<Angela> Jen> "Well... yeah, but I figured he was like me. From anotehr reality or something."
<Marcus`> The story behind what? *he eyes her, confused*
* SPoC spots Jen and turns, sneaking off.
<Marcus`> <Theron> It doesn't matter where he came from. If he can exist in this world, who is to say other monsters cannot?
<Kit> <Chii> Right, his name's Theron. It's hard for me to make sense of the memories left from Freyja since many of them aren't her own, tch.
<SPoC> 6Dias heads outside and stares at the backside of Chii
<Marcus`> Oh, don't ask me. He's an Erusian is all I know.
<Angela> Jen> "Dunno..."
<Kit> 6Chii's standing before Marcus with her arms crossed, having adopted the kunoichi's outfit since their rescue mission and abandonment out in the woods. She still has two short blades and the two pistols she confiscated hanging at the hips and her back. 1"...What exactly's an Erusian?"
<Angela> Jen> "So... there are really Vampires and Werewolves then... creepy."
<Kit> <Chii> All I made sense of was that they had something to do with Progenitors.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Marcus is a werewolf, that should be proof enough.
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly peers over Chii's shoulder at Marcus and makes a funny face
* Marcus` smirks slightly. "They are a race of strong fighters that recently had a civil war and are very slowly building themselves back up. That's all I really know. Perhaps you should ask him?"
<Kit> <Chii> Civil war? Like that shadow brat's homeworld? ...Eh..
* Marcus` shrugs, having no idea what she is talking about.
<Kit> 6Chii turns slightly and shivers, peering at the woodland. 1"He doesn't seem like the conversation type. I could be wrong."
<SPoC> 6Dias starts making obscene gestures now behind Chii's back
<Marcus`> And I do? *he tilts his head, smiling even more*
<Angela> Jen> "H-He is?"
<Angela> Jen> "I've seen him growl and stuff but... a werewolf?"
<Kit> <Chii> Yes, you're a playboy." 6She gives him a sidelong glance.
<Marcus`> <Theron> He's transformed in front of you on a few occassions. I imagine you may not have been paying attention.
<Marcus`> Sure. I'm a playboy. *he repeats*
<Angela> Jen> "Normally I'm busy looking the other way, you know, running."
<SPoC> 6Dias resumes to make all sorts of gestures now
* Marcus` finally starts laughing.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see. I do not blame you. You are much to young to be part of the fight.
<Kit> <Chii> It doesn't mean you sleep with them all, though I imagine you wouldn't object.
<Kit> 6Chii begins to twitch angrily. 1"Kunyarou, what the fuck's so funny?"
* Marcus` pauses and his face goes nuetral. "Nothing. And, I am who I am."
<Angela> Jen> *looks down at her hand* "Yeah..."
<Marcus`> <Theron> You'll have a hand back in no time. *he says with a nod, his eyes still scanning the book*
<Kit> 6Freyja has gravitated toward the two during the conversation, but remains floating at the edge of peripheral view. 1"...Is it so strange for these things to exist? You have met Chii and myself, after all."
<SPoC> 6Dias continues to mock Chii now
<Kit> 6Freyja crosses her arms and forms an indignant expression.
<Kit> <Freyja> We're of a nobler type of existence, but ...You understand, I should hope.
<Kit> <Chii> Dias is behind me, isn't he?
<Angela> Jen> "More bummed that I lost it in the first place... I thought I'd trained harder then that."
<Marcus`> Why would he be? *he archs a brow*
<Kit> <Chii> Because I have a shiver in my spine.
<Marcus`> Then turn around. *he shrugs again*
<Marcus`> <Theron> Not even I am trained well enough to fight Legion. *he glances towards Freyja, frowning slightly*
<Kit> <Chii> I don't know, I might be tempted to shoot him.
<Marcus`> I won't stop you.
<SPoC> 6Dias suddenly throws his arm around Chii's shoulder. 1"Now now. Shooting your comrades is not acceptable.
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs. 1"Would probably piss off Katrina after the whole 'forgive and forget' business."
<Angela> Jen> "Yeah... I'm worried... he said we're all going to die..."
<Kit> 6Chii shudders visibly when Dias touches her, giving Marcus a raised eyebrow.
<Kit> <Freyja> We're all going to die anyway, eventually. Don't despair, choose how.
<Marcus`> He's right. Shooting comrades isn't acceptable.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, believe I just said that, basically.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I hope to die choking on a delicious piece of pie.
<Kit> 6Chii shifts her eyes to Dias. 1"..."
<SPoC> 6Dias smiles prettily at Chii
<Kit> 6Freyja giggles at Theron. 1"That's a very cherishable way to go."
<Angela> * Jen nods and takes a seat, eyes set deep in thought.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I find it to be pleasantly ironic. *he says with a slight smile* Or perhaps ironic is not the proper word.
<Kit> <Chii> At least your smile isn't repulsive.
<Kit> 6As her eyes roll, Chii sighs. 1"Must be part of the hero code."
<SPoC> <Dias> It's patented. Don't go using it
<Marcus`> Maidens wouldn't flock to you if you had an ugly smile.
<Kit> <Chii> Figures.
<Kit> <Chii> You know which hero is my favorite?
<Marcus`> Not either one of us?
<SPoC> <Dias> I doubt we'll know them since you're from the old universe.
<Kit> <Chii> Don Quixote.
<Marcus`> ....riiight.
<SPoC> <Dias> Who?
<Marcus`> *Theron flips a page. "Are you alright, Jennifer?"
<Kit> 6Chii brushes Dias' arm off of her and shrugs. 1"Tragic heroes are more romantic. He didn't require all of the semantics to live up to them."
<Angela> * Jen looks up, blinking a bit, "Yeah, fine..."
<SPoC> <Dias> Good thing I don't live a life of tragedy.
<Kit> 6Chii rotates her shoulder, then turns to head back down the staircase.
<Marcus`> Yeah. That's just depressing. *he shakes his head*
<Marcus`> <Theron> Unfortunately, alot of stress is being thrust upon your young shoulders.
<Kit> 6Freyja turns her head and ponders. 1"Mmh, time to disappear." 6So she does. Chii enters the main room a moment after her words and then Freyja appears outside a brief distance from the stairs, stretching and yawning in the sunlight.
* SPoC stares at Marcus then looks over at Freyja. 1"Annoying."
<SPoC> NRP: Dia
<Angela> * Jen nods softly. "A little over a year ago the scariest thing to me was failing Math..."
* Marcus` shifts his eyes to Freyja. "One time she's going to poof up and be in the path of a bullet."
<SPoC> <Dias> That would be sweet.
<Marcus`> Not for her.
<Kit> 6Freyja pauses, then glances over a shoulder at the two. She smiles, 1"Mm, would be nice to enjoy the pleasantries of being so rude." then begins ambling off.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well, I'm sure it'd miss any vital.
<Marcus`> Sure, sure. *he watches her walk off*
<Marcus`> <Theron> What is the antiderivative of 2x? *he glances at her curiously*
<Kit> 6Chii pauses in her tracks. 1"Erk!?"
<Angela> Jen> "The what?"
<SPoC> <Dias> How anti-social.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see.
<Marcus`> Very. You would think that she actually doesn't want to be our friends.
<SPoC> <Dias> And she's the cheery one.
<Kit> 6Freyja disappears into the trees. Probably to go talk to squirrels or something.
<Kit> <Chii> H-he's... talking!
<Marcus`> Oh well. Oh you notice Katrina is getting fed up with Chii? *he tilts his head, glancing at Dias*
<Angela> Jen> "...Yeah."
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up at Chii. "I am."
<SPoC> <Dias> Kinda, yeah.
<Marcus`> Just a little. *he holds up his hand to emphasis the little part with his fingers* So what are you going to do today?
<Angela> * Jen looks at Chii, "You're Chii right?"
<Kit> 6Chii's shock ends, she steps in fully and peers at Jen coldly. 1"...Hai. You showed up a little while ago, didn't you? Who're you?"
<Angela> Jen> "I'm Jennifer Carmicheal."
* Kit is now known as Chii
* Chii mumbles, "1Yoroshiku ne." 6Then glances back to Theron, setting her feet and crossing her arms. 1"...What's an Erusian, and where do your martial skills originate?"
<Angela> Jen> "...Wha?"
* Chii Chii squints toward Jennifer. "1Means 'nice to meet you.'" 6She has a moments hold toward the girl, regarding her, then her eyes open slightly, then widely, peering at something beyond her being. Her head turns so her expression isn't visible as she exhales audibly.
<Marcus`> *Theron arches a brow, eyeing Chii. "Erusian is my race. Just like she is a human." *he motions to Jen*
<Angela> Jen> "Nice... to meet you too."
* Chii turns back to Jennifer. 1"Were you not carrying a gun?"
* Marcus` slaps Dias' face, as he had spaced out, and moves to walk downstairs.
<Angela> Jen> "Not right now, but normally, yes."
<Chii> "You don't know how to use it, do you?"
<Angela> Jen> "Of course I do, Dad... Warren... trained me."
* Chii shakes her head. 1"That's..."
<Chii> "You know how to point it. Do you know how to use it?"
<Angela> Jen> "Yes."
<Chii> "Then what are you so afraid of?"
<Marcus`> *Theron goes silent as he gets into his book, tuning out the two.
* Marcus` walks past the three and moves towards the bathroom.
<Angela> Jen> "Guns don't work too well on Legion."
<Chii> "So what? Not much of anything seems to work very well on Legion."
<SPoC> 6Dias rubs his face as he steps into the main room. 1"I work well against Legion" 6He flexes his muscles
<SPoC> 6As Marcus steps inside the men's bathroom, he'd find SPoC sitting on the floor, whittling away at a bar of soap with her knife.
* Marcus` pauses, glancing down. "..."
* SPoC looks up at Marcus. 1"Yes?"
<Marcus`> This is the men's bathroom.
<Angela> Jen> "Exactly."
<SPoC> You're point being? 6She moves her whittled bar of soap behind her back as she looks at him
* Chii stares intently at Jennifer, then shakes her head. 1"That's all there is to it for you?"
<SPoC> 6Dias sniffles, crossing his arms.
<Chii> "The decision to leave you behind was a good one, then. To take up a weapon is to decide that one's life is worth placing before their goal. If you're afraid to die, then you should stay away from a fight."
<Chii> "Do you use a gun because you believe it can keep you away from danger?"
<SPoC> 6Dias starts mocking Chii again behind her back for Jen's viewing pleasure
<Marcus`> Are you a man?
<Angela> Jen> "I use it because it helps me run away from Dark Ones."
<Chii> "You don't need a gun to run and hide."
* SPoC blinks then turns away, pulling the top of her shirt away so she can peer inside, she turns and looks back at Marcus. 1"According to what defines a woman, yes."
<Chii> "Were it your point to stay way from them, why are you here?"
<Angela> Jen> "I'm here because I don't have anywhere else."
<SPoC> 6Dias gives Chii bunny ears using his fingers
<Marcus`> Yes, you are a man? I see. *he shifts over, lifting the lid of the toilet up with his foot, his other hand unzipping his pants as he begins to piss*
* SPoC goes back to whittling away at her soap bar, apparently not phased by Marcus peeing.
* Chii scowls suddenly. 1"That sounds like something Freyja would say. Hrmph."
* Marcus` finishes and zips back up, glancing at her. "What're you doing with that soap there?"
<Chii> "If you have nowhere else to go, then that's because you've chosen to believe that nothing else is acceptable.
<Angela> * Jen giggles.
<SPoC> I am making a figure. 6She continues cutting away
<Marcus`> A figure of what? *he shifts over to the sink and pauses* You used the soap...how am I supposed to wash my hand?
<SPoC> In a warzone there is no need for soap. 6She holds the figure infront of her and studies it
<SPoC> Unless you know how to kill a man with it.
<Marcus`> Shove it into his mouth and try to make him choke?
<Chii> 6Without turning, Chii quickly looses one of the pistols from her hip, the end deadcenter toward one of Dias' feet, though she refrains from pulling the trigger by grinding her teeth, the other hand raised and clenched. 1"..."
* Marcus` shifts to lean against the sink, watching her, trying to determine who the figure is of.
<SPoC> 6Dias slides up and puts his arm around Chii's shoulder again. He uses his other hand to push the barrel away. 1"Tisk tisk Chii."
<SPoC> That is an inefficient method. The enemy can still perform a counter-attack while he chokes to free himself.
<SPoC> 6The figure is of nobody that Marcus knows
<Marcus`> I see. Then I do not know how to kill a man with soap.
<Chii> 6Chii holsters the weapon, pushing away the reaction to toss Dias into a wall. She staggers backward and stomps her heel into Dias' foot instead. 1"...O-oops, tripped."
<Marcus`> <Theron> You did not. *he says without glancing up*
<SPoC> Do you want me to show you how? 6She looks at Marcus a hint of eager curiousity on her face
<SPoC> 6Chii suddenly feels something groping her ass as she staggers into him.
<Marcus`> I'll pass. *he waves his hand* So i'm going to go out on a limb and assume you're hiding from someone in here?
<Chii> 6An elbow is driven into Dias' throat and Chii stumbles forward instead, growling. 1"You're right, I didn't..."
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs her elbow with his free hand, he just smiles at her
<Marcus`> <Theron> I know I am right. *he says simply*
<SPoC> Hide. 6She taps her chin. 1"Yes, I am hiding. They will not look for me in the men's bathroom"
<Chii> 12Chii turns, narrowing her eyes at Dias, smiling forcibly. 1"Would you like a kiss, Dias?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Nah, you smell like tapioca pudding. 6He just shudders.
<Angela> Jen> Creepy...
<Chii> <Chii> Then quit grabbing my ass or I'll make you a like pair with Marcus.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'd like to see you try. 6He wiggles his eyebrows.
<Marcus`> Who are you hiding from, anyway?
<SPoC> You sure you do not want me to show you how to kill a man with a bar of soap? 6She smiles deviously at him.
<Marcus`> You sure you want to continue avoiding the question?
<SPoC> I will scream rape. 6She nods.
<Chii> <Chii> No, no you wouldn't." 6One of her hands that draws a single of her blades and aims it at his chest, slowly lowers pointing to a much lower target. 1"I didn't mean an arm. I meant I'd make you compatible."
<Marcus`> Then they will know where you are hiding. *he notes with a frown*
<SPoC> You're right. It would be more effective to just kill you. 6She stands up and sets the figure on the counter and she holds her knife out towards Marcus
<Marcus`> <Theron> That is enough. I'm trying to read, now if you want to fight. DO it elsewhere. *he says in a loud voice*
<SPoC> 6Dias pushes the tip of the blade away. 1"Cowards use weapons."
<Chii> <Chii> I don't want to fight. I want him to drop dead or leave me the hell alone. He's more irritating than a room of tanuki.
<SPoC> <Dias> Tuna Key? What the hell's that?
* Marcus` stares into her eyes. "You could try. You may succeed, you may not." He says with a nod.
<SPoC> I am of the Special Operatives formerly run by Dragoon Zephyr. I was hand picked to work in her squad.
<Marcus`> I know who you are. Do you think that makes you special?
<SPoC> I-I thought that would clarify my lethality. Is it not a efficient way?
<Marcus`> It could be. I'm not well versed in war or assination.
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes them before going back to his reading.
<SPoC> I see. You should talk to Warren then. He will vouch for my lethality as a Special Operative. 6She nods and slides her knife in her belt.
* DS[QueryForMini] is now known as DeathStar
<Marcus`> I believe you. But why exactly did you just threaten me?
<SPoC> You were going to give away my position.
<Marcus`> I see. Well i'm sure that Cassandra, Chii, Katrina, Jennifer, Cheryl, Setsuna or Freyja will not find you in here.
* SPoC stars at Marcus.
<SPoC> NRP: stares
* Marcus` scratches his chin. "You are hiding from a girl, correct?"
* SPoC grabs her figuring and holds it.
* Marcus` taps his leg, then sighs. "So what's your name?"
<SPoC> I am called SPoC, X and once someone called my Z.
<Marcus`> And I have to call you one of those three?
<SPoC> You may call me whatever you want. I will advise you that I may not answer to whatever you use tho.
<Marcus`> So...hotlegs is out of the question?
<SPoC> My leg's are not hot. 6She looks down at her legs.
<Marcus`> Sexylegs then?
<SPoC> Why would you call me sexy legs?
<Marcus`> They are very lean, very sexy.
* SPoC looks down at her loose fatigue pants. 1"They are fatigue's. How are they sex?"
* Marcus` taps his chin. "Well you see, i'm a man of many talents. And trust me when I say that I believe your legs are attractive."
* SPoC pulls out her knife again. 1"Have you been watching my shower?"
<SPoC> NRP ME!
<Marcus`> Why would I do that?
<SPoC> You have seen my legs, the only time I do not where my fatigues are when I'm showering.
<Marcus`> Interesting.
<SPoC> So you do not deny this than? 6She steps closer to Marcus, there is an intent to cause harm in her eyes
<Marcus`> I do. I watched you walk and the way the fatigues cling to your skin during certain movements allowed me to deduce their general shape.
* SPoC tilts her head and she undoes her belt and begins to drop her pants
* Marcus` arches a brow. "What are you doing?"
* Chii sheaths the blade quickly at the cross behind her back and turns away, crossing her arms again. 1"Hrmph. I can see having a serious conversation is pointless here." 6She storms back up the steps.
<SPoC> Checking my legs. 6She drops her pants completely and stares at her legs. They're a pasty white that matches her face and arms.
<Marcus`> You could potentially use some sun. *he notes*
<DeathStar> 6* A wall moves and Warren appears from the hidden wall. He sits down and does his thing
<SPoC> You could use some facial hair.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up slightly before looking back to his book. "Evening General."
* Marcus` moves his hand up to rub his constant 5 o'click shadow. "I do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<SPoC> I do not know. I was merely copying you.
<Marcus`> But in the very least, I was right. *he motions to her legs*
<SPoC> If you say so.
<SPoC> 6Dias claps his hands together and he moves off, obviously feeling better
* Marcus` arches a brow. "You don't date, do you?"
<SPoC> Date? 6She studies him.
* Chii glances below the entryway wall, then walks back down and sits on the edge of the steps after Dias has gone. 1"Yarou."
<Marcus`> You do go on dates with men. Out to resturaunts or movies. Or even out drinking.
<SPoC> I have been on dates than yes. Usually when I need to gain intel. I have killed many men on dates before.
<Marcus`> Then you've not been on a real date.
<SPoC> I do not understand.
<Chii> "Oi, Warren, why'd you only teach your kid half of the art of fighting?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ignores Chii.
<Marcus`> A date. *he pauses, as if to think* Is when you and a man, or a woman whichever you prefer. Go out and spend time with each other in an effort to get closer as a couple.
* Chii flicks a pebble at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren flicks a plasma shot at Chii's face.
* Chii ducks her head to the side. 1"Uh-huh."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the bathroom, since it's communial, and stops, staring at SPoC with her pants down in front of Marcus.
<SPoC> I do not see the benefit of that. I did not need to get closer to my team mates by going out on dates.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works on his datapad.
* SPoC slowly turns to look at Katrina a disapointed look on her face.
* Marcus` glances at Kat, then looks to SPoC. "I understand. You've lived a very different life from me."
* Chii squints. 1"Well, whatever. It's not my business if your daddy hates you, Jennifer."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> My bad. 6* She steps outside.
* Marcus` glances at Kat leave and then looks to SPoC. "Oh, your pants are still down."
* SPoC lets out a sigh of relief and she looks at Marcus. 1"I cannot comment on that. I do not know what life you lived.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Jennifer, I hereby order you not to talk to the idiot who is speaking to you.
<Angela> Jen> *nods*
<Chii> "She wasn't talking to me anyway."
<Angela> * Jen doesn't comment.
<SPoC> They are. Do you want me to put them back on?
<Chii> "She must take after you in something, at least."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Also, practice of the art of not listening, either. It'll become second nature
<Marcus`> May as well. Unless you want to just continue on and get naked. I won't move to stop you either way.
<SPoC> There is no benefit to me being naked. It'll only hinder me. 6She bends down and grabs her pants and pulls them up.
* Chii rises to her feet and yawns behind her hand. 1"In any case, since there's nothing to learn..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works on his datapad.
<SPoC> 6Dias suddenly comes running by, his shirt on fire. He dashes past Chii and moves upstairs and out of the base.
<Angela> * Jen looks curiously at the datapad, a distraction.
<Chii> Warren, I may not be human or have a soul, but I don't see the point in defending or helping you if I can't at the very least be treated like one. My efforts to learn about you people seem to lead to dead ends or in vain due to your own insecurities or disinterest.
* Chii turns and walks back up the staircase, sighing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then go away.
* Chii did.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren meant forever.
* Chii doesn't read minds or care!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works on his datapad.
* Chii throws rocks at a tree.
<SPoC> 6Dias rolls around in the snow as he puts the fire out
<Marcus`> Very well. Anyway, the expression on your face meant you were hiding from Katrina. But she didn't seem to be looking for you. Now what will you do?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes back to her room to do some work on a paper.
<SPoC> I do not know. 6She turns and walks out, holding onto the figuring.
* Chii regards Dias by using a fire elemnt on the tree, dousing him in a snowpile.
<SPoC> 6Dias isn't by a tree.
* Chii follows the way of Freyja.
* Chii is now known as Kit
* Marcus` stands there a moment and then frowns, moving to step outside, he glances around and then ambles casually along the hall.
* Marcus` stops and knocks at Katrina's door lightly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's open.
* Marcus` opens it and glances inside. "Yo."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up from her writing. "Hello, Mr. Jones."
<Marcus`> What's up? *he leans against her doorway, his hand sliding into his pocket.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Just doing some work.
* Angela is now known as Jennifer`
<Marcus`> Really? Work on the day after christmas? That stinks.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I like to keep busy.
<Marcus`> You're not still working for the government are you? Because that'd just be ackward.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course not.
* Marcus` smiles. "That's good. Cause I feel that the image of myself running down the hall screaming 'she's a traitor, she's a traitor' wouldn't be very masculine."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmmmhmm
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts in her seat and crosses her legs
<Marcus`> I see, getting into serious mode?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hear it makes me more intimidating.
<Marcus`> I can see it. *he nods* So tell me doc, what's the verdict. Am I crazy?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Marcus`> Crazy enough to get a check?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A check?
<Marcus`> A check, money. Creds. For being crazy.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nope.
<Marcus`> *Theron marks his place and sets his book off to the side, he stands up. He then walks off towards the mess hall.
<Kit> 6Chii sits on a cliff in a remote section of the thicket, throwing nearby rocks at trees closeby, occasionally knocking snow off, occasionally hitting a bird because she can.
* Jennifer` walks over to Warren, attempting to peek in on what he's doing, possibly futile being so much shorter then him.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to eye Jennifer
<Marcus`> Well that's unfortunate. Cause then I could move off and live the rest of my life in peace.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmmmhmm
* Marcus` eyes her for a moment. "I'm bothering you, aren't I?"
* Jennifer` smiles softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waves her hand. "I was a bit busy, but if you have something serious to talk about, I have no problem stopping."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren idlely wonders where SPoC is to train Jennifer more
* Jennifer` idly wonders the same.
<Marcus`> Other than apologising that the flower I got you turned out to be a succubus thingy, I assume not. I was just bored and felt like talking to someone sane, you seem to be one of the few to fit the bill.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, that's flattering, I guess. And besides, she went after you, not me. Poor thing, though
<Kit> 6Freyja appears slightly above Chii, then featherfalls in beside her, gazing at the tree line and lines of stricken birds upon the ground. 1"You never spoke to him about it, huh?" 6She laughs softly, "1What has you all pissed off?"
<Marcus`> Yeah I feel pretty horrible that I freaked out.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh well. 6* She looks a bit sad, but compartmentalizes it.
<Marcus`> *Theron comes walking back out eating on a ration, he walks up to Jennifer holding another book in his free hand, he extends it out to her.
<Kit> 6Chii ignores her for the longest time, then stops throwing rocks after hitting a nineth bird. 1"Not like it was important. Why are you bothering me, of all people?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren makes a note to punish SPoC.
<Kit> <Freyja> What, is it out of the question for me to worry about my other half? Haha...
<Kit> 6Chii glares at the trees. 1"Yes."
<DeathStar> 6* A literal note. At the desk.
<Kit> 6Freyja leans back, grinning. 1"Well, then think of it this way: You keep this up and I'll have to do something about the depopulation of avians in this area. I'll return their pain to you tenfold. Just because my illusions won't affect you doesn't mean I don't have my ways.."
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns and places a note on the book, shoving it into her arms, then he falks off.
<Marcus`> NRP: walks*
<Kit> <Chii> Yes, the issue with that fruit was fucking hilarious.
<Kit> 6Freyja edges off the cliffside and floats down toward the trees. 1"Heh, excuse me, I will pray for them."
* Marcus` tilts his head from left to right. "So how are you Kat?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm alright. And how are you feeling?
<Marcus`> A bit like my old self. Be that a good or a bad thing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I'm glad to hear that. Be it good or bad.
* Marcus` smiles slightly. "So do you think we'll ever be able to walk the streets again without worrying about EarthGov breathing down our necks?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> One day.
<Marcus`> That day can't come soon enough. It reminds me of the time that I had ninja Tsiv breathing down my neck.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at him a bit oddly.
<Jennifer`> "SPoC seems to be avoiding me... maybe you could help train me?" *she looks at Warren seriously*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Busy.
* Marcus` watches her. "Something wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmm, no. I guess not.
* Jennifer` nods, "Alrighty..."
* Jennifer` looks about for someone else to talk to.
