<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.2.25 - 3 days later -
<DeathStar> Location: New HQ
* SPoC steps into the messhall and moves to the back, searching through the fridge
* Jennifer` looks up from a table, eating breakfast.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> *tinkers in her lab*
* Marcus` sits at a table, feet propped up, eating a bag of chips. He watches SPoC pass by.
<SPoC> 6Dias jogs through the hallways, wearing a white hooded sweatshirt.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands in the training room, going through a routine, currently he is pounding away at a training bag.
* SPoC steps back holding a ration and a bottle of water. She moves over to a table and sits down.
<Marcus`> Yo. *he says, then places a chip in his mouth and begins to chew.*
* SPoC glances around then looks at Marcus. 1"Hello."
* Jennifer` looks at them both and smiles a little.
<Marcus`> Chip? *he holds out his bag*
<SPoC> I have food. 6She opens the MRE and begins to eat.
<Jennifer`> "Chips aren't for breakfast."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina remains in her room, not going out very much. HOWEVER, Cheryl stands face to face with her training drone - it is DONE
* Jennifer` chews, something's different, her face is CLEAN.
* Cassandra`` enters the training room, whistling.
<DeathStar> NRP: THank God Jennifer learned how to eat!
<SPoC> NRP: LOL!
<Marcus`> Who said this was my breakfast?
* Jennifer` eats her cereal.
* Marcus` takes another bite from a chip and glances at SPoC. "So what's up?"
* SPoC continues eating her MRE.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<SPoC> I am eating my MRE.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back from the drone. "Punch me." 6* It throws a wicked punch, which she ducks
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back from his punching bag and glances over at Cheryl. "Very impressive."
<Kit> 6Chii spies on Theron, Cassandra and Cheryl from the shadows. Attempting to sneak up on Theron.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thanks. You can get it to identify you specificially, and the more you fight it, the more it'll learn to predict your moves.
<DeathStar> 6* She sound arrogantly proud.
<SPoC> 6Dias turns down a hallway, jogging further into the base.
<Marcus`> <Theron> How much damage may it take?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, what the fuck do you plan to hit it with?
<Marcus`> <Theron> My fists are quite damaging.
* Marcus` nods, sighing slightly, "Talking to you is difficult, eh?"
<SPoC> That is what I am told, yes. 6She opens her bottle of water and takes a drink,
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* I'm sure it can take your fists.
<Cassandra``> So this going to turn into a throw down, you two?
<Kit> 6Chii tiptoes toward Theron, now leaving the walls.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You seem arrogantly sure of that. *he notes with a hint of a smirk on his face*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *eyes Cassandra* We're flirting. Go awayt.
<Marcus`> *Theron so far seems oblivious to Chii.
<Cassandra``> Don't mind me...please...continue.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *from the hall* "I can hear your flirting out here! Might want to turn it down a notch."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back from the drone, waving her hand toward it. "Go ahead and try it."
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts around Setsuna, jogging past her.
<Kit> 6Lilith flails past Setsuna and Dias, ambling down the hall with little direction or sense let alone pace.
* Jennifer` finishes and goes to put away her bowl.
<Kit> 6Stops a few inches from Theron and peers around at Cheryl. 1"How would it do with sneak attacks?"
<Kit> NRP: Chii. Huff.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It would have to learn to anticipate them.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head, he doesn't seem shocked that Chii was there, he just steps up to the drone. "What do I do?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell it your name, so it'll learn who you are. Then attack it
* Marcus` drops his feet down, sitting up more, he look sto SPoC. "So did you ever finish that sculpture?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
<SPoC> Yes. 6She finishes her MRE and slides it infront of her.
<SPoC> NRP: Who's Set's tlaking to?
<Kit> 6Chii takes up a seat on the floor and and sighs without heart.
<Marcus`> NRP: Lilith.
* Jennifer` heads to the training room.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods and turns to the drone. "Theron." He says simply and quickly sends a knee towards it's side.
<Ariel> NRP: Dias and Lilith
<DeathStar> 6* Due to laziness, the drone shall hence forth be played by Dias
<Kit> <Lilith> I am continuing to relearn walking as a huma--" 6She gracelessly slams into the hallway wall when it curves, and spins around, falling onto her side as Jennifer passes.
* Cassandra`` steps back into the hall and heads over to Setsuna.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves out of hearing and keeps moving.
<Marcus`> You said you would show it too me when it was done. *he notes*
<SPoC> 6The training bot is hit and steps sideways from the knee
* Jennifer` stops and leans down to help Lil up.
<SPoC> I did?
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back and just moves to do the knee again, testing it's learning capabilities.
<Ariel> <Setsuna> "Don't you just float everywhere anyways?"
<Jennifer`> "You okay...?"
<Marcus`> I thought so.
<SPoC> 6Trot stiffens from the knee, this time only taking one step to compensate. It throws a slow jab out for Therons chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in his office, oblivious to human interaction
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits beside Chii. "Sup?"
<Marcus`> *Theron grabs the jab and shifts to throw an opposite knee.
<Cassandra``> Setsuna...
<SPoC> Very well. 6She stands up and grabs the MRE and moves to throw it away.
<Kit> <Lilith> ..." 6She shakes and strains, then stands-- and begins to float in defeat. 1"I am fine."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *glances back* "Oh, hey Cass."
<SPoC> 6Trot is hit by the knee and takes several steps to the side.
<Jennifer`> "Lilith?"
* Jennifer` follows her a bit.
<Kit> <Lilith> It is not always possible to levitate with my kind of affinity..." 6She peers slowly toward Jennifer, a bit indignant. 1"...Yes, Lady Jennifer?"
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls the arm forward into an elbow and follow up with a sweep.
* Cassandra`` moves on ver and moves in for a kiss.
<Kit> 6Chii shifts her eyes toward Cheryl. 1"Mh. Nothing."
* SPoC turns, moving past the table and grabs her bottle of water she moves towards the hallway
* Jennifer` blinks a bit in surprise, at a look after having just helped her. "I was just asking if you were okay."
* Marcus` eats a chip, watching her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah.
<Kit> NRP: And she answered that, Neko! \o/
<SPoC> 6Trot is elbowed and then swept, landing on it's back.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *grins a bit, and kisses Cass*
<Jennifer`> NRP: GODDAMNIT, you people keep posting in black text, I miss it.
<Kit> NRP: I post speech in black. Yes.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back and crosses his arms. "How long before it becomes intellegent?" He glances at Cheryl.
<Jennifer`> "Nevermind..."
* Jennifer` looks down a little.
<SPoC> 6Trot rises quickly and stands, waiting for Theron to face it again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Depends. Keep going.
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then turns back once more, though without any sort of expression to match her epiphany. 1"I have remembered something, Lady Jennifer."
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts quickly to elbow the bot in the face.
* SPoC stops turning to look at Marcus. 1"Are you not following?"
<Jennifer`> "Remembered something?"
<Marcus`> Oh. I thought you were going to bring it here. Sure. *he hops up and moves to follow her*
<SPoC> 6Trot steps back as Theron throws the elbow. It then throws a quick jab for Trot's elbow as it comes in.
* SPoC moves out into the hallway, moving for her room.
* Marcus` whistles as he moves along.
<Kit> <Lilith> This is not the old age. Perhaps you do not have to nurture your appearance as women once did. However, for those like me, in my age, to maintain appearance on top of skill and experience was a sign of us being that much more impressive. After all, it takes that much more effort to retain when others seek to mar it.
<Kit> 6Lilith nods, almost to acknowledge herself, then ambles off with her otherwise random advice.
<Marcus`> *Theron's hand moves in very quickly to grasp the hand on the bot, his eyes are a bit widened as if he didn't expect that, then he twists to flip the bot onto it's back.
* Jennifer` blinsk a bit more, "What do you mean by all that...?"
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses again, turning slowly in the air. 1"...You do not understand?"
<SPoC> 6Trot lands on it's back and get's up again. It turns to face Theron.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I like this. Impressive work, Cheryl.
<SPoC> 6Dias jogs past Jen and Lilith, twisting between the two.
<Jennifer`> "Something about... maintaing my appearance?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? You like? Wait until it can kick your ass.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bumps Chii with her arm, as if letting her in on a joke
<Marcus`> <Theron> I will enjoy that. It has been quite some time since i've met a worthy foe.
<Kit> <Chii> ... ..." 6She blinks a few times, then glances at Cheryl, then quickly tries to ascertain the situation, only catching Theron's comment. 1"...I feel insulted."
<SPoC> 6Trot stands there, waiting. It's hands up in the same position as Therons'
<Kit> <Lilith> My age was ancient. The only thing valued was skill and power. Men do not worry about beauty, since in my time we were often just accomplishments or possessions for them. Those of us that could fight, few existed, even fewer respected.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why?
<Marcus`> So whittling is like your main hobby?
<Kit> <Chii> Doesn't that mean we're unworthy opponents?
* SPoC moves to her door and opens it. She steps inside, turning the lights on. 1"I do not have hobbies."
* Marcus` steps to the doorway. "Whittling is a hobby. So I'd say you do."
<Kit> 6Lilith floats in closer to Jennifer and peers unblinking. 1"...To retain our beauty would require even greater skill to remain unbroken, right?"
<Cassandra``> So...how are things, Setsuna?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. I've never fought Theron. You?
<Kit> <Chii> No, but he's met me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You should fight him. Show him who's boss
<Kit> 6Chii gazes off to the side, clearly distracted in her own mind. 1"Yeah."
<SPoC> Than it is a hobby. 6She moves inside her room which is very organized. There are small statues and carvings littered across it. Each different from the one next to it.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head at the bot and swings his right leg out to strike into the bot's lower leg, jerking his left hand out to strike it in and double hit of sorts.
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "Nice." He looks through the figures.
<Jennifer`> "I-I suppose we do... anything you can help me with?"
<SPoC> 6Trot steps back to avoid the kick but is hit by the punch, causing it to lose it's balance as it stumbles back
<SPoC> What is nice? 6She looks at him.
<Kit> 6Lilith stares for a moment in silence. 1"Help... you with? What exactly do you mean?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Well, you know. Same old. Worried we're going to get bombed to hell at any moment. Scared what that blue girl is doing to your body. And wishing we had more booze to cope with all this."
<Cassandra``> That scared over Myria's stuff?
<Marcus`> *Theron slides in and pulls a double fist for the gut.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I liked it bad when I understood what they were doing to you."
<SPoC> 6Trot keels over from the double fist and then tumbles back, hitting the ground. It get's back up again. Adopting Theron's stance again, this time with it's legs and hands
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You seem distracted. What's on your mind?
<Jennifer`> "Maintaining...?"
<Marcus`> Your talent. You're very good at this.
<Kit> <Lilith> Maintaining what, Lady Jennifer?
<Jennifer`> "Beauty."
<Cassandra``> Well, its not been TOO weird.
<Kit> 6Lilith stares in silence.
<SPoC> I see. Thank you than. I like your shirt. 6She turns, a neutral look on her face and she rummages through her carvings.
<Kit> <Chii> Katrina." 6She blinks. 1"Wait, what?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...so far. It hasn't been too weird SO FAR."
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Cheryl. "Would there be anyway to upload a style of martial arts so that we may train against it?" He pauses, seeing Chii and Cheryl talking.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah. WAnt to talk about it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, you can.
<Cassandra``> What's the worse that could happen?
<Kit> <Chii> Eh." 6Waves her hand dismissingly. 1"...Talking just messed things up the other day."
<SPoC> 6Trot suddenly moves in throwing an uppercut for Theron's jaw as he glances away towards Cheryl.
* Jennifer` stares back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I meant me. What can mess up by talking to me?
<Marcus`> *Theron nods, smirking. Then widens his eyes and moves to block with both of his arms, being thrown back onto his ass. "...that hurt." He notes with a frown.
<SPoC> 6Trot stops it's attack, waiting for Theron to get up.
<Kit> <Chii> ..Oh. ...You want to hear about Katrina?
<Kit> 6Chii gives Cheryl a sideways look.
<Kit> 6Lilith actually flinches. 1"...You wish to learn about maintaining appearance from myself?"
* Marcus` looks about for familiar faces in the carvings, smiling.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands up, staring at Trot, he then motions. "Attack my weakest spot."
<SPoC> 6There seems to be atleast one of every person.
<Jennifer`> "You gotta know something..."
<Marcus`> Holy crap is this Warren? Look you even got his scowl. *he laughs*
<SPoC> 6Trot stands there, not moving it's eyes focused on Theron.
<Kit> <Lilith> Yes." 6She says simply.
<SPoC> 6It goes to attack Myria.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *takesa long time to think* "Do you REALLY want to ask that with her?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, if you want to
<Marcus`> *Theron stands in his stance, waiting.
<SPoC> 6KIDDING!
<Cassandra``> Ummmm?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "She could end up turning you into a jellyfish, for all I've seen."
<Cassandra``> A...jellyfish?
<Jennifer`> "So... can you teach me?"
<Kit> <Chii> Heh, at the risk of sounding typical, I don't know what I want. Things have become... complicated.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, when I don't know what I want, I just break it down. So, break it down.
<Kit> <Lilith> Teach you what, Lady Jennifer? I do not understand if you are asking me about fundamentals of defensive and counter tactics in conflict or simple health-related inquiries."
<SPoC> 6Trot moves in throwing a quick jab then pulls it into a feint. It's right leg swining in to kick Theron in the balls.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...that new armour scares me."
<Jennifer`> "Both, actually."
<Kit> <Lilith> ...That is many things to learn." 6She sighs and closes her eyes.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts his knees together to block the attack and grabs the bot's shoulder, swinging his head in for a headbutt.
<Cassandra``> ITs got...a few bugs.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Break it down.
<Jennifer`> "I've got free time." *smiles, quoting her from earlier*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Basics.
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"...It's easier to break down things, not ideas..."
<SPoC> 6Trot's head snaps back, it's left hand darting out to chop Theron in the throat.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, fine. *sighs* Okay, explain why things are complicated, and then what you want from it
<Marcus`> *Theron winces, almost buckling his knees, he pulls his arms down(which are clasped on the bot's shoulders still) and twists to the trip it again.
<Kit> <Chii> The truth is a good medicine, but only in specific doses at set durations. The other day was just too much all at once, in my opinion. I can deal with it, but it's irritating and now Katrina's locked herself away from everyone. Frankly, that's not the Katrina I like.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So go tell her that.
* SPoC turns to face Marcus and holds out something to him. It's carving of a man he wouldn't recognize.
<Kit> <Chii> She'd probably get pissy. She said herself she doesn't give a damn what I think anymore.
* Marcus` takes it and looks it over. "Who it it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ouch. Why?
<Kit> 6Chii laughs and shrugs. 1"I was being truthful, and... so was she. Things got tossed in the open probably better left unsaid."
<SPoC> It is of a comrade in my old unit.
* Jennifer` tilts her head at the floating girl.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "You trust her then, Cass?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you'd rather leave things as they are? *she shrugs*
<Cassandra``> Well...is more a matter of I have to...
<Kit> 6Lilith opens her red eyes slowly, fixating them downwards, around Jennifer's waist.
<SPoC> 6Dias comes to a stop in the quarters section of the base, his hands behind his head as he takes deep breaths of air.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren narrows his eyes.
<Jennifer`> "what?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "And... if she turns you into an amphibious monster?"
<Kit> <Chii> No, but I suck at fixing things, don't I? Plus I'm selfish.
<Kit> <Lilith> Fingernails.
<Cassandra``> Oh..I made guarantees that she won't do that...
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Ohhh? And that would be?"
<Marcus`> I see. That's a nice way to remember people.
<SPoC> 6Trot hits the ground, landing on it's back. It begins to get up again
<SPoC> It is? 6She looks curiously at Marcus
<Jennifer`> "Fingernails?"
<Cassandra``> Two words... Omega...Coke.
<Kit> <Lilith> Start with your fingernails.
* Marcus` nods. "With this you won't forget. Well unless you lose it." He makes a face, then smile.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, you're selfish.
<SPoC> Why would I forget? 6She eyes his oddly now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *shrugs*
<Marcus`> Memory is fickle. *he says with a shrug*
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back, crossing his arms.
<Kit> <Chii> If Freyja was around I'd just make her do something about it. It's her thing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And what would she do?
<Kit> 6Chii holds up her hand and stares for a moment before punching it. 1"Tch."
<SPoC> I would never forget my unit. 6She eyes Marcus now, with what could possibly be an offended look.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you're not letting her have that stuff, are you?"
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to Kat's room and knocks on her door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uncharastically puts an am around Chii, drawing her in close for a sidewise hug
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Come in
<Kit> <Chii> I don't know. She'd do something.
<SPoC> 6Dias opens the door and pokes his head in. 1"Yo yo."
<Jennifer`> "How?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey, you. 6* She smiles, looking up from something she's writing in at the current moment. She motions Dias in.
* Jennifer` looks down at them.
<SPoC> <Dias> You should come for a walk with me outside.
<Marcus`> I didn't say you would. *he tilts his head* But if you do, well you have something to rekindle that memory. *he motions to the figures*
<Cassandra``> Like Pavlov's dog..if she doesn't misbehave, she gets her reward. *nod nods*
<SPoC> Yes you are correct than. 6She puts the carving away then stands at attention, her hands behind her back.
<Kit> <Lilith> Unbelievable as it may be, they are a quick reference to some of the characteristics of your habits and personality. No matter how kempt you yourself may be in dress and manners, if they are unshapely and dirty, you obviously do not pay attention to details.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmhm. So go do something yourself. Drunk.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "You know... that stuff might very well be WHY she's so crazy. Right?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Outside? *squints* Why? You got something you want to seE?
<Cassandra``> ... ... ...sonuva
<Kit> <Lilith> Care for them can be relatively simple and take a short amount of time, however, they must be kept a fairly precise length. Too long they will interfere with simple tasks and fighting, too short, you obviously overcompensate for convenience over presentation.
<SPoC> 6Trot gets up and adopts his stance again. It moves in towards Theron, throwing hard left jab and a right kick to his side.
<SPoC> <Dias> Not really, I just figure the fresh air would do us both some good.
<Kit> 6Lilith tilts her head slightly. 1"...If you can manage to keep that under control, it would be worth branching out to more 'important' aspects."
* Jennifer` looks back and forth, "Maybe you could show me...?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I swear... I bet they bribed the health inspectors."
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, but Katrina would be further unimpressed if I got plastered, wouldn't she? So annoying, being 'good.'
<Cassandra``> Its never made anyone else act crazy...
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Who else do you know that drinks it?"
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts his arms to deflect the jab and twists his body to raise his leg to block the kick, it seems he knows his stance well.
<Cassandra``> Ummm...seen humans that did in Tokyo...
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Any of her species?"
* Marcus` hands it back to her and glances around. "Well it's impressive. Thank you for showing me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... good?
<SPoC> 6Trot opens it hand and grabs onto Therons arm and pull itself in, going for a headbutt.
<Marcus`> *Theron's head snaps back and he kicks out to get some space. He rubs his forehead, then laughs. Which is odd for Theron.
<Cassandra``> ...no...
<Kit> <Chii> ...Well, if I'm from the darkness, aren't I evil? That's how it usually works, right? Even though I'm trying to live my own life now, I can't just do whatever I damn well please or people get all pissy.
<SPoC> 6Trot takes several steps back from the kick. It moves back in while Theron laughs and kicks low with it's left leg for Therons right shin
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back from the sweep, then does a double step kick for the bot's chest that if connected would knock it across the room.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. Let me get a coat.
* Jennifer` looks about nervously, waiting for the answer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl draws Chii in closer. "I think you're fine."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "We should look into that, before I need to keep you in the dresser so you don't run away and eat someone."
<SPoC> 6Trot goes flying across the room and hits the wall.
* Cassandra`` eyes Setsuna...
<Kit> <Lilith> You are quite strange, Lady Jennifer, however, if I must, I will assist you in the basics. We will need a basin of warm water.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...it could happen you know."
<Jennifer`> "I think I can cove that in my room... come with me?"
<Cassandra``> Nuh-uh.
<Kit> 6Lilith nods slowly, seemingly satisfied with this gesture.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "And why not?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stansd up and grabs a coat, moving for the door
* SPoC takes it and puts it away. She turns to lok at him, resuming her at attention stance.
* Jennifer` leads her to her room.
<SPoC> 6Dias steps back so she can exit.
<Cassandra``> Cause that's just silly.
<Kit> 6Lilith floats after Jennifer quietly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, did you have an idea of where we were going to walk to?
<Kit> <Chii> ..Thanks Cheryl. Is this part of being badass?
<SPoC> <Dias> I just figure around for a bit. 6He shrugs, moving his hands behind his head as he walks towards the exit.
* Jennifer` turns to see if she's following, smiling as she steps into the simple, near bare room, a few books and some clothes all to speak of who sleeps here.
<SPoC> 6Trot pushes off the wall and moves towards Theron again.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "And... her intended inventions AREN'T silly?"
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Why the stiff stance?"
<SPoC> What is wrong with my stance?
<Marcus`> Well this is a casual conversation. No reason to be at attention like that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> DAmn straight.
<SPoC> This is my normal stance when standing and talking.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks along, taking a deep breath of the air. She looks like she hasn't been out much
<Cassandra``> You know...what has she ever invented that was outright silly...?
<Kit> <Chii> I told you I wanted to collect a soul for myself, right, Cheryl?
<SPoC> 6Dias stays quiet the entire way to the exit. He opens it for her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<Kit> 6Lilith shows nothing that would suggest she's judgemental toward the lack of amassed possessions. 1"The water?"
<Kit> 6Chii leans her head back and peers upward for a moment, on the quiet side. 1"...Have you figured out how I'd do that?"
<Marcus`> Fair enough. I guess i'll be going then.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands in his stance, waiting, he then pauses. "Enough."
<SPoC> You do not want to talk anymore. I see, Kat did not tell me this would happen. 6She bites her nail as she thinks
* Jennifer` gets out a bucket and pours some lukewarm water into it.
<Kit> 6Lilith sets herself on her knees and folds her hands before her, calmly stating. 1"Submerge your fingers within the water for upwards of five to ten minutes." 6She merely stares during this process, not one to bore easily or something.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kill someone, right?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...that living armour still scares me."
<Kit> <Chii> ...Yeah, that's part of the process.
* Marcus` tilts his head and smiles. "Well if you want to continue talking, just think of something to add to the conversation. If not. You politely say goodbye."
<SPoC> Did I comment on your shirt? 6She looks at him.
* Jennifer` does so, looking up at Lilith after a few minutes. "So how old are you?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, what about it?
<Kit> 6Chii just shakes her head.
<SPoC> 6Dias steps outside and takes in a deep breath of air, than coughs.
<Marcus`> You said you liked it. *he nods*
<SPoC> 6Trot stops, and stands there, it's arms to it's sides.
<Kit> <Lilith> This is commonly a rude question to ask of another, is it not?
<Jennifer`> "...Is it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ..
* Jennifer` looks down a little, surprised.
<Cassandra``> Its got its uses as long as she gets it programmed right.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps outside, glancing up at the cloudy sky
<Marcus`> <Theron> This is most excellent Cheryl. *he nods in approval*
<Kit> 6Lilith closes her eyes, hiding only a tiny amount of irritance. 1"I am only younger than the foxes."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *thumbs up Theron8
<Jennifer`> "We... have foxes here?"
<SPoC> <Dias> So how you doing?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Programmed right... so it could go crazy, violate you, or kill us all. How fun."
<Kit> <Lilith> The fox spirits, yes.
<Cassandra``> Well...
<Jennifer`> "...Fox spirits... ummm... who?"
<Kit> 6A small twitch forms in Lilith's face. 1"I became an inugami before I was twenty-seven."
<Jennifer`> "A-A what?"
<SPoC> Than I do not know what else to talk about. Katrina has not taught me anything else.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps over to pick up his towel, patting his face.
<Marcus`> Anything about me that interests you? Anything we may have in common. People often discuss current event, or things they have in common.
<Kit> 6Chii stares at the ceiling, mumbling incoherently.
<Kit> <Lilith> An inugami. A guardian spirit of sorts. I am currently contracted with Lady Raquel, also referred to as "Spirit."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can't understanding mumbling
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I...don't know
<SPoC> I do not know what we have in common. I apologize.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Confused. Wary. You?
<Kit> 6Chii blinks a few times, then stares up at Cheryl. 1"...S-Sorry."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *shrugs* "I'm not comfortable with it. It troubles me. That's all."
<SPoC> <Dias> Me? I feel good I guess. 6He stars walking off into the woods. 1"It was kind of...relaxing to actually to hear myself say what I did."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, what did you say?
<Jennifer`> "THat sounds... that's a good creature right?"
* Jennifer` smiles, trying to make sense of it all
<Kit> <Lilith> An inugami is loyal to its master. We serve its ambitions, for better or worse. My first task at Lady Raquel's behalf was to assassinate Sir Marcus and Sir Dias.
<Kit> 6Lilith gazes blankly.
* Marcus` nods his head. "How about all of thise we are going through, any thought on it?
<Jennifer`> "Well they are jerks..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *nods*
<Kit> 6Chii looks away, colour in her cheeks. 1"Nothing important. At least, nothing that wouldn't likely hurt me for saying aloud."
<SPoC> No I do not think so.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then say it.
<Kit> <Lilith> It is what Lady Raquel wanted, the consequences are irrelevant. However, Lady Raquel has since come to terms with her feelings and recalled that order. I merely remain as her guardian.
* Marcus` shrugs. "Then I will take my leave. Maybe next conversation you will have something else to discuss." He smiles, and gives a slight wave before stepping out.
<Cassandra``> Setsuna...I'm still me.
<Kit> 6Lilith suddenly swats at Jennifer's wrists.
<SPoC> <Dias> Granet, I didn't go through what you did. But apparently I found out I'd settle down with Cheryl if I ever decided to settle down.
<SPoC> NRP: granted.
* Jennifer` blinks at her.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Oh, I know that... I'm worried about what her experiments could do to you. Not what you'll do."
<Kit> <Lilith> Do not soak them too long or they will become unnecessarily weak as well as lose nutrients from your skin. Pay attention, this is part of the lesson of such things.
<Marcus`> *Theron has since fallen silent, standing there drinking some water.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wow, really? You and Cheryl? 6* She seems to be trying to picture it
<SPoC> 6Dias laughs, shrugging. 1"Yeah, who'd a thought."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, *grins* what do you find attractive about her?
<Cassandra``> Well...maybe the sex might improve!
<SPoC> <Dias> Besides her smoking hot body? 6He looks at her with a serious look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, okay. Besides that. 6* She eyes her own ebtter
<DeathStar> *body
* Jennifer` smiles and pulls them out, "Sorry."
<Kit> 6Chii squints narrowly at Cheryl. 1"Seriously? I was just saying I didn't want to mess anything else up talking. Promise not to like, break something?"
* Marcus` walks through the halls, eating his chips still.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure, fair enough
<SPoC> <Dias> I like her attitude I guess. She's gruff and tells people what's up, ya know? 6He glances at her. 1"Even though your boobs aren't as big, I still think you got a tight bod."
<Kit> 6Chii jerks her thumb back toward the training drone. 1"That includes vehicles and reprogramming that thing to beat me."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *just stares at Cass, not sure what to say*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh, okay
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, thanks. I think
<Cassandra``> Whaaaaaaat?
<Jennifer`> "So... what do we do now?"
<Kit> 6Chii opens her eyes twisting her mouth a bit in disdainful skepticism. 1"I was just thinking I feel safe around you and you're capable of more kindness than I'd have thought." 6She pauses. 1"But that's all I'm going to say, because the rest has something to do with the soul acquisition and eh, I already fucked up babbling about that once."
<SPoC> 6Dias flashes her McCormick smile that he learned. 1"You should cheer up Kat. You look prettier."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *waves her hand* Well, I don't see why I'd beat you up. Yet.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Uh huh. *squints* Prettier than your dream girl, eH?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...maybe."
* Cassandra`` hugs Setsuna.
<Cassandra``> Someone had to say it.
<SPoC> 6Dias sticks his tongue out at her. 1"You know there's no such thing as dream girl. Trust me, I would've found her by now.
<Kit> <Lilith> The water helps alleviate anything that has gathered beneath them, so while they are in this state, you should use something narrow to continue cleaning beneath, and then a file to shape them round with no sudden curves. Keep them about an eighth of an inch from the tip of the finger to retain a feminine look but not interfere with pressing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Isn't Cheryl your dream girl?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles.
<SPoC> <Dias> Nice. 6He shoves her lightly with his hand.
<Kit> <Chii> Because I didn't mention I was thinking of you like a rough-edged mother.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stumbles and rebalances.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ew. Yeah, I'd have to hurt you. *frowns*
<Kit> 6Chii lulls back to staring at the ceiling, as if that didn't register.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *laughs a little* "No... this isn't an excuse for you to wear your armour in bed."
<Kit> 6Chii seems to start mumbling again. 1"Being around would be enough, I guess."
* Jennifer` pulls out a small pick and starts working on them. "Okay..."
<Cassandra``> Actually...I'm wearing it now...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... around what?
<Kit> 6Chii stares back toward Cheryl. 1"Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You said being around would be enough.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. Around, you know. Being near.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Being around who?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *pauses* "...does it come off still?"
<Kit> <Chii> You." 6She gives another sideways glance.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *raises a brow* I'm lost.
<SPoC> <Dias> So you even talk to Chii or Marcus since than?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I.... haven't. No.
<Kit> 6Chii finally sits up. 1"It's another one of those complicated things. But, I think... In the future, being around you would be enough for me. There's few people around I can relate that to."
<SPoC> <Dias> You plan on it? 6He looks at her curiously.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *considers* I'm here if you need me. Sometimes I might need to be drunk
<Kit> <Chii> I don't think you'd be the Cheryl I've come to like if you didn't liquor up once in a while.
<Cassandra``> Its kind of integrated.
<Marcus`> *Theron has since returned to hitting on the punching bag, apparently finished with Trot today.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...oh."
<SPoC> 6Trot stares ahead, apparently finished with Theron for the time being. But he will have his revenge, oh yes, he willl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> True enough.
<Kit> <Chii> I suppose you have your own pint-sized worries to deal with.
<Kit> 6Chii rises slowly and stretches, peering at the drone.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Kat and her silence.
<Cassandra``> Myria did program this neat look where I wear a silver kimono and have a big gun though...
* Marcus` steps into the training room, tilting his head. "Crowded place."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I guess eventually.
<Kit> 6Lilith gazes at Jennifer's hands as she works on them. 1"When filing, always file toward the end and center of the nail in one motion. Filing both ways can catch the grain and tear it unnaturally as well as weaken the structure.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Pint sized?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "And... that's part of your armour?"
<Cassandra``> A program look for it, yeah.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah. Short. Like, shorter than Myria short.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... *shrugs* Okay.
<Kit> 6Chii walks over and knocks on the drone's 'head.'
<SPoC> <Dias> You'll know when you're ready too. Somethings shouldn't be rushed, ni?
<Kit> <Chii> An orphan like me should stay that way, probably.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stay what way?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Did you just use ni?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Hmmm... that doesn't sound too bad."
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, why? 6He looks at her oddly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *giggles* Sounds strange coming from you
<SPoC> <Dias> I find it rather defining. 6He crosses his arms, looking put off now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? And what does it mean?
<Cassandra``> It just freaks out every now and then when its about to change shape.
* Marcus` places an arm on training bot, and glances at Cheryl and Chii. "Havin a heart to heart?"
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't know. I just thought it sounded cool so I started using it. 6He rubs the back of his head, laughing lightly.
* Jennifer` follows the instructions quietly
<Kit> 6Chii peers around the drone's head at Marcus. 1"...I guess."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. *she laughs* Well, fair enough
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd have to have a heart.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...is she still planning to convert more of your body into that?"
<Kit> <Chii> Orphans are parent-less, Cheryl, so parent-less.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. 6* She gets a distant look
<Cassandra``> Well...you know...the last few days while I was out of sight...
<Kit> <Chii> Is this thing bulletproof?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Not exactly.
<Kit> <Lilith> Gently. Firm, but do not pierce the nail by gesturing too strongly.
<Kit> <Chii> Swordproof?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> To a degree.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Eh?"
<Kit> <Chii> ...How about corrosives?
<DeathStar> 6* A shadow sneaks up on Cassandra and Setsuna
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ........
<SPoC> <Dias> I'll tell you what, you can use it with me anytime you want. It'll be code for a mutual undestanding, ni?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll pass, I think. 6* She smiles.
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"Maybe I shouldn't fight with it just yet."
<SPoC> 6Dias feigns a pained look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just offers a bigger smile.
<Marcus`> So wait. This is done? *he taps it's head*
<Cassandra``> She finished her latest round of improvements.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, so I don't want to rough it up on the test run.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well it's good to know you can still give out some shit. 6He smiles back.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...and I should worry about?"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a missile is launched at Cassandra and Setsuna as they talk
<Cassandra``> What the?!
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, I was afraid you'd go emo on us all. Than I'd have to step in and have a heart to heart talk about how everytime someone goes emo, a cat get's impaled by a fish.
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl, would you still be my friend if I forgot everything for a while?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess it depends on what.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> By a fish, eH?
<Kit> <Chii> ...Depends on what?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> On why you forgot and for how long.
<Kit> <Chii> A very long time.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then I guess we wouldn't be friends.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, nasty little buggers.
<DeathStar> 6* Because neither actually dodge the missile in a timely fashion, or anything, the missile impacts into Cassandra's new body, blowing up.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks slightly, gazes toward Marcus, then looks down and rubs her head before starting toward the exit of the training room.
<SPoC> <Dias> But that's how catfish are born. 6He nods to Kat as if serious
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl raises a brow. "What was that about?"
<Cassandra``> NRP: Wait...a REAL missle?
<DeathStar> NRP: ...I---
<SPoC> NRP: are there any other kind?
<Cassandra``> NRP: A Billy?
<SPoC> NRP: Billy's humanish.
<Kit> NRP: Astroboy!
<Jennifer`> "Oddly... I think I could apply this to... did you hear something?"
* Marcus` shrugs. "I uhh. Well I don't know. I guess losing Kat's friendship and such hit her hard, then you saying that."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Kit> <Lilith> A combustion of some sort, correct? That is normal for this group.
<Cassandra``> NRP: A missle by definition is simply a projectile...an arrow can be a missile...and DS has described Billy's attack as missile before.
<Kit> 6Lilith stares away, slightly agitated again. 1"It is likely Lady Myria."
<DeathStar> NRP: Billy has no special powers for like FOREVER
* Jennifer` goes back to working on her nails. "Yeah."
<DeathStar> NRP: In any event, real missile. Hit you. Blew up
<Cassandra``> NRP: Who says anything about special powers? Sneak..sneak..snake...POUNCE!
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Wonder what Myria blew up this time?"
<Kit> 6Chii ambles down the corridor with a moody expression, her thumbs hooked in her shorts and aims to leave the base.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, hearing the explosion ehrself.
<Cassandra``> NRP: I protest
<Marcus`> *Theron stops before hitting the punching bag. "I do hope Miss Cassandra is ok."
<DeathStar> NRP: You seriously...want to protest with me?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ungh
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh come on, that was atleast worth a groan.
<Cassandra``> NRP: ...fine...
<Kit> <Lilith> At this point, you would wait for them to dry fully, then use a soft-grain to polish the tops smooth of ridges if you were going for the actual look rather than just cleaning up. Either way, if you wished for a preventative measure, these days you can buy polishes.
* Marcus` glances out towards the hall. "Think it's serious enough that we should check it out?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up. "Yeah. Lets take a look."
<Jennifer`> "I think I have some toothpicks..."
<Kit> 6Chii enters the open air and listens for chirps, locking on.
<DeathStar> 6* After the missile impacted, blowing away most of Cassandra's brand new features, since she thought it was some sort of gag, and Setsuna, having been thrown back and damaged from the radius blast impact --- another missile flies in. Yes. A REAL missile.
<Marcus`> <Theron> That would be the logical thing. *he moves towards the door*
<Kit> 6Chii pauses and turns, hearing something else rather peculiar, looking for a source.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna scrambles to cover, not much else she can do right now.
<Cassandra``> Move! *dodges out of the oath of the missle*
<SPoC> 6Dias throws his arm around Kat's shoulder. 1"Someday you'll learn to laugh at my terrible jokes."
<DeathStar> 6* The missile hits the wall, blowing a hole in it, sending debris flying outward
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hope not. *squints*
<Marcus`> Another one. This might be serious. *he moves now, a concerned look on his face*
* Jennifer` finishes with her nails, "Well, this is a start."
<SPoC> <Dias> Why you keep squinting? You drunk? 6He looks at her
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not at all
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks out into the hallway, and sees smoke. "What in the world?"
<Kit> <Chii> What the fuck is that sound?
<SPoC> <Dias> Breathe on me. 6He puts his face close to her mouth
<DeathStar> 6* A laser beam flies out at Setsuna, aiming to cut her in half in 5 seconds
<DeathStar> 6* 4 seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* 3 seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* 2 seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* 1 second.
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna is hit by the laser. It tears into her skin, cutting through it with ease, despite any type of armor she may be wearing. As it tears through her, it's clear that if someone, or if she doesn't dodge, this will be fatal
<DeathStar> *someone doesn't save her
<Ariel> Setsuna> *was around the corner from the attack, and is wondering how it's even getting a LOS to hit her with a laser
<DeathStar> 6* It's managing. Apparantly she wans't far enough
<Ariel> Setsuna> *has no place else to go, if being around a corner isn't good enough.
<Kit> NRP: I suggest moving away from -it-
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna is cut in half, then, as she's not dodging anymore.
* Cassandra`` darts it, grabbing a hold of Setsuna and yanking her along with her down the corridor.
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Ariel> NRP: WHERE? There's no place more away from it she can go
* Marcus` has joined #taw
<SPoC> NRP: Corner's dont' just lead to no where.
<DeathStar> NRP: Duck. Roll. Backflip
<DeathStar> NRP: Run onward.
<Kit> NRP: Dip Dive Duck Dodge and... dodge!
<Cassandra``> NRP: I did the save for you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra saves Setsuna, though the laser did do some damage to her. The laser begins to chase after the two.
* Marcus` tries to see where the laser is coming from.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes and turns, descends back into the base, cautious and entering her stalking mode.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes, trying to find the source. IT appears to be coming from the vents.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts off to gather his weapons, quickly.
* Cassandra`` drags Setsuna along with her toward the command center.
<Marcus`> What do you think it is? Don't know many things with that kind of a beam.
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, Cassandra drags Setsuna out of range of the beam
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have no clue. 6* She frowns as the beam vanishes, and their attacker moves.
* Cassandra`` continues on to the Command Center...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why...would I breathe on you?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reads something on his datapad as Cassandra arrives.
<Cassandra``> ...sir...we've got an invader...
<SPoC> <Dias> Well obviously I'ld smell the liqour.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up. "Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ..... I'm not breathing on you
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to the vent, frowning. She kneels, eyeing Setsuna's blood on the floor
<Cassandra``> Look at me...look at Setsuna...now...do the math!
<Kit> 6Chii steps out from Cassandra and Setsuna's shadow. 1"...We seem to have a lot of visitors lately."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns. He stands up, turning to eye the cameras. "Get me up to date."
* Marcus` glances at Cheryl as he steps up with her. "Well someone was hit. Better be on our guard." He glances around.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh well. We all deal right? 6He keeps walking.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. 6* She hits an alarm button, getting everyone on alert.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *she walks along* I'm really sober.
<Cassandra``> They tagged me with a missile...low yield only...a full yield would have killed me. Laser weapon too...
<Kit> 6Lilith peers upward as the alarm goes off. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns, reversing camera feed. "There's no alarm breach."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Will Setsuna live?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes her wounds.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah.
<Cassandra``> Setsuna?
<SPoC> <Dias> Than why do you keep squinting? I didn't think I was that ugly.
* Jennifer` gets up, grabbing a gun off her dresser and holstering it. "Let's go find out what's happening."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're not.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the footage of the attack, then tries to run a scan for an intruder
<Kit> <Lilith> Would it not be wiser to await further instructions?
<SPoC> <Dias> Uhh, flattery. My favorite kind of speech.
<SPoC> NRP: Ahh,
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ha ha.
* Marcus` stands there cautiously glancing around. "A beam that big. Damn, that'd be more painful that doggirls big ass rail gun."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whoever the attacker is, they're using the vents. We need to becareful
<DeathStar> 6* A REAL missile flies at Marcus from behind
<SPoC> 6SPoC sits in her room, whittling away at something.
<Jennifer`> "...It would... I'd better..." *grabs her comm* "Warren? What's going on?"
<Kit> <Chii> The video shows it coming from the vents, right? ...Where's Billy?
* Marcus` tilts his head, then widens his eyes and attempts to roll out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* The missiles slams into a wall, blowing it up. Warren immediately gets a sensor alert on the alarm, and brings it up on the camera feed. "There."
<Cassandra``> Billy?!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns, when a laser beam flies out at her. She's forced to backflip over it.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't think the attacker is Billy, I just know that no one knows the vent system better than her aside from maybe the architect.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Corridor C, Section B.
* Marcus` pulls a pistol out from the back of his pants and glances towards where the attacker may be. In the vent again?
<SPoC> <Dias> It totally beats pity.
<DeathStar> 6* Again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I don't pity you.
<Cassandra``> Anything we can do form here?
<Kit> <Chii> It's intelligent, as the ventilation leads to all aspects of a base, yet it's restricting and gives us points to secure. Billy would know where we can pin it down.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. This base isn't equipped with a lot of defenses.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's a facility for making Betas, not waging war.
<Cassandra``> ...orders?
<SPoC> <Dias> Thank god. 6He nods approvingly. Then stops infront of a small stream.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Find the attacker and neutralize it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You can leave Setsuna here.
<Cassandra``> Got a weapon?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks down at her reflection
<Kit> 6Chii raises an eyebrow. 1"...Beta... Beta... Where should I know that from?"
* Marcus` backs some. "What the hell is that small?" He fires a few shots towards the vent.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Cassandra oddly, as if the idea of her now having a weapon is foreign. He takes out some keys, then tosses them to Cass. "Go to the armory."
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over and leans against a tree. 1"I found this after we got back from Mega City."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl presses her back against the wall, under the vent. "No clue."
* Cassandra`` catches them...
<Kit> <Lilith> Have you learned anything, Lady Jennifer?
<Jennifer`> "Yeah... a lot."
<Cassandra``> The bastard hit me just right to knock my integrated toys offline and I wasn't exactly packing heat while heading to the showers. *heads for the armory*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then it's smart. Becareful
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rips open the vent and looks inside, seeing no enemy
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It moved again
<Kit> <Lilith> I have not. Please inform me.
* Cassandra`` arms herself and then heads for Corridor C, Section B
* Marcus` pauses. "Damnit." He pulls up his comm. "Warren, do you have a layout of the vents? It's on the move again."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up as Cassandra arrives.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll send them to your datapad. 6* He does so
<Cassandra``> What's the sitrep?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We got attacked, but it seems to have run off again
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the monitors again, trying to locate a sign of their attacker
<Cassandra``> It tagged Setsuna...tagged me for that matter but the armor took the hit...not going to live through another one like it though.
<Marcus`> *Marcus pulls up his datapad, looking over it. Meanwhile, Theron arrives with his rifle, and sword on his back.
* Jennifer` taps the comms again, "Warren? Should I be doing anything?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the hell is this thing? Did you guys have any warnings?
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Stay in your room
<Kit> <Lilith> Sir Warren.
<Cassandra``> No...I barely heard the missile coming. I was too busy about to make out with my girlfriend...
<Jennifer`> "Yes sir."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a laser beam flies out into the command facility room. Warren is hit in the shoulder, and he twists in pain to the side before it cuts off his arm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That explains a lot.
<DeathStar> 6* Landing on the ground, Warren rolls in pain under a desk, holding his wound
<Cassandra``> NRP: <Myria> New guine-errr...patient!
<Kit> 6Chii's head snaps toward the sword and she whips one of her hands back into her satchel, the other whipping out one of her guns, firing twice, the burst letting off six shots into the ventilation access.
<DeathStar> 6* A missile flies out toward Setsuna and Warren and Chii
<Kit> 6Chii leaps back, firing at the missile itself as soon as its visible.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile explodes.
<Cassandra``> Hear that?!
<Kit> <Chii> Fucking hell!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren on comm. "Attacker in control room."
<Cassandra``> Command center, move! *starts running*
<DeathStar> 6* A globe flies out and lands beside Chii and Setsuna
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up and then moves after Cass.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *rolls behind something heavy, because there's not much else she can do in her condition*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns and runs off.
<Kit> 6Chii keeps firing toward the source, tossing a small bomb up into the vent.
* Marcus` glances up. "And I was just about to suggest it." He sighs, moving after Cheryl.
<Kit> 6She pauses momentarily to peer at the globe. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* The glove explodes, knocking only chii back.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. glove
<Kit> NRP: Our attacker... it's OJ! I found the glove!
<Cassandra``> NRP: The Nintendo Powerglove!
<DeathStar> 6* However, the small bomb explodes in the vent, knocking something out of it. It lands on the ground
<Kit> 6Chii attempts to roll with being tossed, grinding her teeth in pain and irritance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cass' arrives at the control room
<Marcus`> *Theron slides in, sweeping his rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren wraps his wound up, not speaking yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron would see - a robot standing up.
<SPoC> <Dias> It's quiet and peaceful here. 6He nods to himself
<Kit> 6Chii begins firing on it again, reaching for something in her satchel again.
<Marcus`> *Theron arches a brow and fires upon it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah. *she takes a deep breath*
<Cassandra``> Well...finally get to use this. *pulls out one rifle and then aims, firing a focused EM pulse at the robot*
* Jennifer` sighs and sits back on her bed.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot is hit, and it begins to retreat backwards. It decides it's fucked if it tries to do a straight up fight, so it attempts to grab Setsuna as a living shield.
<DeathStar> 6* However, it's hit by the EMP, and knocked into the wall, where it stops moving
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans over Cass. "It dead?"
<Marcus`> *Theron stops firing, making sure not to hit Setsuna. He still aims, though.
<Kit> <Chii> What the fuck is that? A side project, Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck no
* Marcus` glances inside. "I vote that Chii pokes it to see if it's alive."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up, peering out. "It's a Dragoon Beta."
<Cassandra``> ...maybe...maybe not... get the wounded out of here... *moves over toward the robot*
<SPoC> <Dias> This is where I've been going to to think about things after what's all happened.
<Marcus`> Err. Nevermind. That's serious.
<Kit> <Chii> That thing's a dragoon?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? It's a nice place.
<Kit> 6Chii gazes between Cheryl and the beta.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta seems like a humanoid robot, with more emphasis on robot
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl's tougher.
* Marcus` moves over and drags Setsuna back, since no one else is.
* Cassandra`` prods the Beta with the toe of her foot.
<DeathStar> 6* It suddenly grabs CAssandra's foot, and attempts to flip her off her feet.
<Kit> <Chii> Cassandra, move!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip as this occurs.
* Cassandra`` rolls back, forcing a hand stabd, and trying to force its strength against it and send it into the wall*
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta hits the wall. It suddenly begins to grow into Gear size, which is bigger than this room
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... dammit
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck
<Kit> 6Chii flits her satchel-searching hand and tosses forward a spherical vial and shoots it, spraying acid across... a foot.
<Kit> <Chii> ...What the HELL!?
* Marcus` whistles. "Wish I could do that." He lifts up Setsuna and backs out completely.
* Cassandra`` *then slaps a limpit mind into its chest before leaping back, detonating it remotely*
<DeathStar> * The Beta hits the roof with it's head.
<Cassandra``> MOVE!
<Marcus`> *Theron backs up towards the door, aiming still.
<DeathStar> 6* The explosion knocks the Beta further into the wall. Warren cries on the inside for his office
* Cassandra`` dashes for the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps out, knowing they need bigger ground
<SPoC> <Dias> I thought so. 6He looks around. 1"Seeing your own grave..." 6He just nods to himself
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hisses, dashing out. "We need Lilith and Raquel."
<Kit> 6Chii retreats after Cheryl. 1"Cheryl, what do we do now..!?"
<Cassandra``> Damn thing is going to bring the base down at this rate!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It can be sobering, I imagine
<Kit> 6Lilith idly guards Jennifer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know. Kill it?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks for his comm, but realizes he dropped it
<Kit> <Chii> With what!?
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is unfortunate that I do not have a gear. *He backs up furthur*
<Marcus`> Here. *he tosses a comm to Warren, seeing him pat himself for his.*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves for the outside, hoping the Beta follows.
<SPoC> <Dias> Sobering? 6He looks at her hten thinks to himself. 1"No, it's more like getting hit so hard that you can't breathe.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren catches it with his only working arm. "Lilith. Raquel. We have a Beta on the loose. We need Lilith's magnetic abilities, I believe."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *smiles* Is that so?
* Marcus` moves off to get Sets to medical.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves with Cheryl.
<Kit> <Chii> I have blades, bullets..." 6Chases Cheryl nimbly. 1"Smoke, acid, incendieries, C4 charges, poisons, some minor ionic disturbances, nothing that will affect THAT."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I could beat it. If I were big. 6* She notes defensively.
<Kit> 6Lilith inclines her head slightly. 1"...I am needed?" 6She peers at Jennifer idly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl busts outside, looking back at the base entrance.
<SPoC> <Dias> Don't get me wrong, I wasn't scared. 6He smirks as he stares at the stream. 1"But I definetly dont' feel invincble anymore.
<Kit> <Chii> So get big!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, I can't do that.
<Cassandra``> We can't fight it in here...if we get it outside and fight it there...danger that it might get picked up by satops...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stumbles out of the base, holding his shoulder painfully.
<Kit> 6Chii leaps out, spinning and flitting both guns up. 1"Why not?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't have a pilot!
<DeathStar> <Warren> Better out here than inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans on a tree.
<Kit> <Chii> S-So get one!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* Right. I'll just buy one in the market.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps out, aiming for where the dragoon should be.
<Kit> 6Lilith takes the comm from Jennifer. 1"I am with Lady Jennifer, Sir Warren."
<Kit> <Chii> Money an issue? Steal it.
* Cassandra`` moves outside as well...
<Cassandra``> ...sir...should we evac the base?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up the comm. "We're outside. Get out here. And get your master if you need her to do your stuff."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shakes his head. "Wait on that. See if we can lure this thing outside,."
<Cassandra``> Yes, sir.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...My powers depend upon her, however I can act on defensive measures without her orders... I am... under the influence of Tomoe.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can't buy a pilot!
* Jennifer` looks at Lilith.
<Kit> <Chii> I... I don't know!
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Less talk, more action. Do what's necessary.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks off.
<Kit> 6Lilith hands the comm back to Jennifer. 1"He is a good leader."
<Marcus`> *Theron looks for the thing, would he see it yet?
<Jennifer`> "He's my dad." *smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* So far, no sign of the Beta.
<Kit> <Lilith> I will be leaving you to defend yourself. Be prepared.
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't know, maybe I'm just being a wuss. 6He waves his hand dismissively
<Kit> 6Lilith exits the room and makes her way for the outside.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A pilot is someone I trust with the utmost reverence. Not some asshole I find on the street.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think so
* Jennifer` gulps a little and sits on her bed, holding her gun.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. I see.
<SPoC> <Dias> Should I be afraid? 6He looks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta busts out of the base, already in full height.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl. 1"Well, then saying 'pretty please' doesn't mean anything, right? We're fucked even if I offer?
<Kit> 6Chii pelts it with multiple gunshots.
<Cassandra``> PRepare to engage!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, it's not like we can do it on the first try. I mean. Only one person has done that
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta fires a huge missile down at CAssandra. This WILL kill her
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, sorry I'm not dependable.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out his gun
* Cassandra`` dashes to avoid the blast!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I didn't say that. Sheesh
<Kit> <Chii> I'm good at seperation, not unison, ahahaha!
<DeathStar> 6* The missile hits the ground, exploding, sending up ground and dirt
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses. "Did you hear that?"
<Marcus`> *Theron fires upon once he gets a clear shot.
<Kit> 6Chii pauses in her gunshots. 1"Wait, no, I guess I make a good duet, too."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't think you want to be a pilot. You're too independent
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip
<Kit> 6Chii falls over laughing.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta turns to face Theron
* Cassandra`` rolls, moving into a kneeling position as she extends a tube and then fires an anti-armor rocket at the Beta.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances up looking around. 1"I hear something, yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta is hit, stepping backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* It fires a giant blast beam toward Cassandra again. Clearly, it thinks Cass is the real threat.
<Marcus`> *Theron tisks.
<Cassandra``> Damn it! *leaps to her feet and takes off running*
<DeathStar> 6* It explodes behind Cassandra, sending her up in the air, but does no real damage.
<Cassandra``> Somebody else, do something!
<Kit> <Chii> Seriously? I'm glad you think that, Cheryl, ahaha.." 6Struggles to her feet. "1"I'm going to need a drink for that one later."
<SPoC> <Dias> We should probably check it out. Come on. 6He turns, moving towards the sound.
<DeathStar> <Cehryl> ... 6* she dashes in, whipping out at the leg. The Beta kicks her, making a terrible cracking sound. Cheryl flies int oa tree.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina follows
<Kit> <Chii> H-hey! Cheryl! God damn it.
<SPoC> 6Several high-caliber shots come ringing out from the entrance to the base, flying right towards the Beat's left knee.
<Kit> 6Chii springs over to check on her. She's tough, but jesus, kicked by a walking mack truck.
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns and lowers his rifle, then pulls out his sword, he dashes in towards the beta.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl groans, blood running down from her mouth. She tries to sit up. "That fake piece of fucking shit I'll fucking kill it let me get to my feet goddammit ow."
<SPoC> NRP: Beta's sheesh
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta's knee is hit, and it turns to find it's attacker, not noticing Theron
<Marcus`> *Theron spiring up and attempts to climb the thing.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta stares, then attempts to grab Theron
* SPoC stands at the entrance, her legs spread out for support as she fires two mores shots into the Beta's knee.
<Kit> 6Chii offers Cheryl a hand, half-crying despite grinning. 1"Haa.."
<Kit> <Chii> Seeing red?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the hand, standing slowly. "Yeah."
<Kit> <Chii> That's fine. I enjoy that too, but don't go blind, alright?
<Marcus`> *Theron springs back, to flip over the hand onto the arm, then if that work he would jump upward and attempt to thrust the blade into the optical sensor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stumbles at the Berta.
<SPoC> <Dias> I hear gunshots. 6He picks up his speed, moving faster now.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta is stabbed. However, it suddenly grabs Theron, and tosses him away.
<DeathStar> 6* It's knee seems half-way damaged.
<Marcus`> *Theron dissappears into the trees, the sound of breaking limbs can be heard.
* SPoC drops a clip and quickly reloads it. She adjusts her aims and fires 3 more rounds into the same knee.
<DeathStar> <Beta> Phase 2 Battle Mode Initiated. Eliminate all targets
<Kit> <Chii> That sounds lovely.
<DeathStar> 6* It suddenly launches 10 missiles into the sky, and they begin to fly downward. The OPPOSITE GAME BEGINS FOR EVERYONE BUT DIAS, THERON, AND KAT
* Cassandra`` loads an explosive round into a gun and then fires at the damaged knee joint.
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Left, Left
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<Cassandra``> lrlrlrrr
<SPoC> lrlrlrrr
<Kit> lrlrlrrr
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 6* They all dodge. Cassandra and SPoC blow up the knee.
<Kit> 6Chii dashes diagonally to the left and flings a charge from her satchel with both hands, then quickly draws her guns firing across the front of it at the very least to impair the speed of locks.
* SPoC slides away from the entrance, her gun ruined since she left it behind to dodge.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes in, whipping at the Beta. It suddenly punches her, and she cries out
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta stumbles back, thanks to Chii. It flies up into the sky.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias arrives at the battle.
<Cassandra``> We don't have anything that can go toe to toe with it!
<Kit> 6Chii runs out of bullets, tossing both guns in the air, she grabs clips from her belts as the old ones fall out, tossing them up in a flashy reload and catchs both, resuming fire.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to stand again. "Hate big things."
* Marcus` steps out after all of the explosions. "Good thing I hung back for a second." He twirls two swords. One is the ripple blade that Dias gave him, and the other is just a beam sabre."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *waits for Lilith*
<SPoC> <Dias> What the hell is that thing?! 6He slides to a stop.
<Kit> <Chii> What good are swords when..." 6She points. 1"It's flying."
<Marcus`> NRP: -
<Marcus`> NRP: -"!
* Marcus` stares. "Aw hell."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We need a gear. Goddammit.
<Kit> 6A shot from the entrance of the base whistles loudly up toward the torso of the beta, a magnetic rail shot. from a kneeling Lilith.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands, still bloody.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta blocks with a shield.
<Marcus`> It would be nice if someone could pull the thing down so we can cut on it. *he notes with a dramatic sigh*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right, okay, a pilot. You and me, Chii. *she seems frustrated* Okay, let me think. How do we do this again?
<Kit> 6Lilith considers, then holds out her hand, forming both a well and trying to yank at the metal itself. 1"I will try, Sir Marcus."
<SPoC> I have no weaponry to fight this anymore. 6She pulls out a pistol.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta is caught off guard as it's yanked down. However, it attempts to resist.
<DeathStar> 6* And it's bigger.
<Kit> 6Chii gazes at Cheryl skeptically as she continues firing rapidly, reloading when necessary.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do you trust me?
<Kit> <Chii> More than you know, that's for sure.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Raquel eats the Beta's soul and wins instantly* <Cheryl> ... I feel inadequate.
<Marcus`> Thanks, doll. *He gives her a thumbs up, then pauses and puts away his swords. His arms begins to glow that nice black.* Hmm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And would you really want someone else able to hear your thoughts?
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok, that things way to high up. 6He glances around at the trees.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares up. "This is bad."
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? I speak my mind anyway and Freyja used to do that all the time. Least I don't hate your guts.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta fires a missile at Lilith
* SPoC shifts her aim, firing at the incoming missile with her pistol
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sighs* Okay, clear your mind. And lets touch hands. More contact, the better for it to work
<DeathStar> 6* The missile explodes.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps out of the treeline, cuts on him from the branches. "That was unpleasant."
<Kit> 6Lilith veers toward the right, waving her hand to try and slow or repel the projectile, losing hold on the Beta momentarily. Then she stops and focuses entirely on it again, straining.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up her hands, clearly not liking this; she's a private Dragoon
<DeathStar> 6* Once Lilith loses momentarily, it flies higher.
<Cassandra``> You alright, Theron?!
<Marcus`> <Theron> The vegetation has...kicked my ass as they say.
<Kit> 6Chii stares for a moment, then holsters both guns, peering at the beta, it's out of effective pistol range anyway if it goes higher. She hesitates a moment, then holds up her hands. 1"I guess I can do that."
* Marcus` takes this moment to fire a beam of dark energy up at it, aiming for the chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her hands. "Alright. The more contact between us, the better."
<SPoC> <Dias> Too high now. 6He steps back, definetly not enjoying this.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus' infection rate rises.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta dodges.
<Marcus`> Well that was wasteful. *he frowns*
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then gets an idea, she looses all of her bracers and drops to the ground, stumbling but remains standing, barely.
<Kit> 6Lilith holds her hand up and sends the bracers up into wide rings made up of the ball bearings, attempting to line them up with the beta itself and one of the minor base structures which wouldn't house any people.
* SPoC holds her gun out, constantly scanning for incoming attacks
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be trying to form a bond, but so far no, no luck. Perhaps not enough contact.
<Kit> 6Chii leans in slightly peering. 1"I don't think it's doing anything, Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, I got that.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta fires a plasma beam at Lilith, since it's missiles can be stopped.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Look out!
<Cassandra``> Incoming!
* Marcus` hisses and moves to dive and get her out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* MArcus knocks Lilith aside in time.
<Kit> 6Lilith widens her eyes for once and scrambles to move clumsily.
<Kit> <Chii> You said contact helps, right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<Marcus`> *Theron sighs at the fact it is so high, aiming with his rifle that does nothing to it.
<DeathStar> 6* The ground explodes, sending dirt flying. The Beta tries to relock on
<Kit> <Chii> Do you trust me not to do anything against you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I suppose.
<Marcus`> Can you stop it long enough for me to hit it?
<Jennifer`> * Darce runs out of the base, two hands with four darts each ready.
<Kit> <Lilith> That is what I am attempting.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta throws a huge ass globe at Marcus and Lilith
<Kit> 6Lilith winces and tries allign the rings with one of the minor buildings and the beta again.
<Kit> <Lilith> I need... time.
* SPoC shifts her aim and begin sfiring at the huge ass globe now.
<Marcus`> Ah shit. *he lifts up Lilith and runs out of the way*
<DeathStar> 6* The globe explodes before nearing Marcus and Lilith, but the shockwave is spread out, meaning more people might feel it, though it's not damaging
* Cassandra`` loads up an adhesive shell and then fires up at the Beta's sensor cluster.
<Jennifer`> * Darce eyes the Beta and tosses all eight darts, TKly launching the large metal spikes at the Beta.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta is forced to dodge CAss and Darce, leaving it's attacks momentarily disrupted.
* Marcus` tumbles about with Lilith. "Well it looks like Time is something we don't have. Good thing your 'master' isn't here to help."
<Kit> <Lilith> <Lady Raquel... At this time it would be appreciated if you would relinquish more energy upon me than normal.>
* SPoC slides back from the shock wave. She shifts her aim and fires onto the Beta now
<Kit> <Lilith> Please do not think poorly of Lady Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina watches helpfully.
<DeathStar> *Helplessly, too
<Jennifer`> * Darce lets 4 of the darts fly away jerking his hand, he sends the 4 remaining back after the Beta.
<SPoC> 6Dias stands beside her, obviously on edge that he's unable to help
<Kit> 6Chii leans forward more and completely touches her, wrapping her arms around Cheryl. A bit further than the 'support' of earlier, but really just a hug. 1"..."
* Marcus` just makes a noise instead of commenting. "Keep working on it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a deep breath, then begins the bonding process with Chii.
<Kit> <Lilith> Understood.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta dodges again
<Marcus`> *Theron takes aim and after a bit of charging up, beging to fire an overloaded flurry of shots at the beta, his whining in protest.
* SPoC follows the Beta, continuing to fire on it
<Marcus`> NRP: rifle whining
<Jennifer`> * Darce keeps teh four darts constantly seeking after the Beta.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta flies higher up, then aims at Lilith again. Goddamn that Lilith
<Kit> 6Lilith lines up the rings, enlarged with one of the utility buildings and then focuses on readjusting the rings under the beta. She then pulls directly on the beta as it aims-- charging each of the rings in sequence and magnetises the walls within the building. 1"Fall."
* Cassandra`` gets ready...
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta is jerked a bit downward. It seems Lilith is succeeding. It's still not low enough
* Marcus` glances at Lilith, and fires another beam as Lilith gets ahold of it.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii and Cheryl are coming along. But slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta fires a beam at Lilith in desperation
<Kit> <Lilith> Myself is not enough. If it can be discouraged for a moment without resistance, I will bring it to the ground quite harshly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Lilith! Look out!
<Kit> 6Lilith winces at the new shot. 1"...Evasion required."
<Marcus`> Ah shit. *he grabs LIlith and dives*
<DeathStar> 6* The blast hits the spot where she was at.
<Kit> <Lilith> If I can depend upon you, Sir Marucs." 6Focuses entirely on the railgun inspired method of grabbing the beta.
<Kit> NRP: Evil twin.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta lowers into firing range. However...
<DeathStar> 6* It fires a beam at the rings.
<Marcus`> Sure sure. *he moves to support her*
<DeathStar> <Warren> It is in range!
<Cassandra``> ITs still trying to break free!
<Marcus`> *Theron winces that his gun is now overheated and he cannot assist upon firing.
<SPoC> 6Dias hand jerks up, it quickly enveloping in black. A dark beam erupts out to intercept and knock the beam out of the way.
* Cassandra`` fires another adhesive shell at its sensors!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls Chii closer. They can begin to hear each other's thoughts. Now, if either panics, it will fail.
<DeathStar> 6* How much will Dias commit?
<Kit> <Lilith> If... I lose more than half of any of the rings, the method will collapse.
<DeathStar> 6* The beam slows, but keeps going
<DeathStar> 6* However, CAssandra nails it with a shell!
<Cassandra``> That should keep it blind for a bit!
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do not understimate the Beta.
<Marcus`> Fire anytime, Lilith.
<DeathStar> 6* The ring is hit, and destroyed.
<Kit> <Lilith> Failure.
<Cassandra``> Then tag it before it breaks loose!
* SPoC fires upon the beta while it is in range
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta is hit.
<Marcus`> Don't say failure. Just do it.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl calmly. She did say she had encountered this sort of thing before. She has an inane curiousity that was obvious before a link, but now it can be felt as well, no panic beyond thoughts of the beta.
<Jennifer`> * Darce tosses four more darts at the Beta.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay. Lets...try something simple. Just picture a gear in your mind with me. And it firing.
<Kit> <Lilith> Self-sufficient I do not have the energy to move something the side of a beta with resistance, however.
<Marcus`> Then keep it still so I can shoot at it.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta his hit by the darts. It aims at the next ring blindly.
<Kit> 6Lilith waves her hand, then clenches a fist, breaking away the remaining three rings and scattering the metal, forming her gravija ability around it and closing the swirling net of ball bearings.
<Jennifer`> * Darce squeezes his hand and the darts explode.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta loses pieces.
<SPoC> 6Dias clicks his tongue in annoyance, the black retreating from his arm.
* Cassandra`` fires a rocket at the Beta's weapon
* Marcus` aims again and narrows his eyes while aiming, firing a nice sized beam, 3% worth, towards the chest of the Beta.
<DeathStar> 6* The rocket impacts the weapon, damaging it.
<Kit> 6Chii frowns slightly, but nots. 1"A gear? Like those things we fought?" 6A bit at a loss, but has a vague impression of a humanoid comprised of mechanical engineering holding one of these famous beam weapons everyone has.
<DeathStar> 6* The beam damages the chest, exposing circuits.
* Marcus` breathes heavily, the glow disappearing. "No more from me today."
<Kit> 6Lilith keeps her hand clenched, rebounding the bearings for as long as she can maintain the vortex effect with them or their integrity holds.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We have an opening!
<Cassandra``> There's an opening!
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta struggles.
* Marcus` locks a grenade into the bottom barrel of the rifle and aims at the circuits, adjusting for wind and such before firing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Picture the fierciest Gear you can
<Marcus`> NRP: THeron*
* SPoC shifts her aim into the exposed circuits and fires
<DeathStar> 6* The Bta is hit by the grenade, and it's knocked around the vortex. Then it's hit by SPoC, shudering
<Kit> 6Amusement wells up in Chii, since saying something like that naturally causes her to picture Cheryl as a gear in some abstract manner, though her narcissistic side adds aspects of herself, mostly claws and the likes, probably an obscene amount of weaponry given her tactics.
<Kit> 6Lilith heaves as all the ball bearings fall away and drop randomly upon the ground. 1"...Need to recover."
<Jennifer`> * Darce pulls his sleeve down, exposing his bracer, he fires off an energy blast into the Beta.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Chii glow white, and Chii's Gear appears briefly. It fires a beam into the Beta, slamming into it, knocking it upward.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Chii separate - Cheryl nude. They land on the ground
* Marcus` stares, not making any comment for once.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta twitches, and is forced to land.
<Cassandra``> ...what...was that?
* Marcus` glances back to the beta and pulls out his swords.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks quite blankly. 1"I don't really know. What was it?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Awe late. Guns now.
* SPoC continues firing on the Beta
<Kit> <Chii> Woah, where's Cheryl's clothes?
<Marcus`> *Theron steps over and extends his coat out to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays there, half out of it. Apparantly, it drained her energy.
* Cassandra`` aims for the Beta's chest with the EM rifle and fires.
<Jennifer`> * Darce pulls out three more darts and tosses them at the Beta's chest.
<Marcus`> *Theron covers her up then, then puts his attention on the Beta.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta's chest, after being hit by the EMP, loses shielding. And then it's hit by the others. It begins to explode.
<DeathStar> 6* And it does. Metal debris flies at the group. Undodgeable! If only someone can stop metal and save them all!
* Marcus` takes a step forward then pauses. "How big would the blast be once it exploded?"
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts infront of Kat, exposing his back to the metal debris
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's eyes widen
<Kit> 6Lilith idly lifts her hand and waits until it's close since she's low on energy, then sends out an ionic pulse to repel metal outward.
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith knocks away most of the metal.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts in approval.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts infront of Cheryl regardless.
<Kit> 6Chii squints at the explosion. 1"...Huh."
<Jennifer`> * Darce holds out his hand and TKly tries to stop as much of the metal as he can that Lilith misses.
<DeathStar> 6* However, Theron and Dias each get one piece of metal in them, for they are HEROES.
<Marcus`> Nice word Lili-*he pauses and sighs, seems he was hit in the side.*
<SPoC> 6Dias grimaces, his jaw dropping.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wraps her arms around Dias. "Are you okay?" 6* She looks for damage.
<Kit> <Lilith> Thank you, however, I feel weary.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances makes no moves of pain, his eyes scan the battlefield further.
<Kit> 6Lilith passes out.
<SPoC> <Dias> I...I think a piece hit my ass. 6He whimpers.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Just your ass? That's a relief.
<Cassandra``> ...ok...the big question...was that thing sent into the base from outside...or was it already here?
<SPoC> <Dias> But I sit on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the debris. "It is possible it was left behind and we never noticed it."
<Kit> 6Chii kneels by Cheryl and examines her. 1"Hey, are you alright?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll examine it for you, then.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl groans. "Tired. Can't move."
* Marcus` kneels down and lifts Lilith up, glancing at Warren. "Regardless we should get the wounded examine." He eyes Warren when he says that.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks. 1"Oh, okay. Hey, you know something, Cheryl?"
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Aren't those bloody things remote control?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> W-What?
<SPoC> <Dias> It's in deep isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know.
<Cassandra``> So what's the chance that little fight was noticed by sats?
<Kit> <Chii> You're freaking awesome. I mean, you did most of the work right? I don't know anything about mechanical stuff.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll look into it. We might need to move sooner than necessary. Everyone, to the medical bay.
<Marcus`> *Theron kneels beside Cheryl. "Would you like my assistance?"
<SPoC> 6Dias whimpers again and starts limping towards the base.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hah...hah...*she eyes Theron* As long as you don't fondle me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps Dias to the base.
* Marcus` carries Lilith in as well.
* SPoC stands up and dusts herself off. She moveso the base
* Cassandra`` helps to move the wounded to the medical bay.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, Theron wouldn't do that." 6Waves her hand dismissingly.
<Marcus`> <Theron> *Lifts her up, doing no such thing, he starts moving towards the base*
<Kit> 6Chii follows along, completely and utterly smug and enamored with Cheryl. What else is new.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is too weak to fight him off, either way.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, I'd totally beat him down for you if he did. But Theron's cool.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I forgot how...exhausting...bonding was...think I'll sleep now. 6* She snores loudly, not able to finish that sentence.
<Marcus`> *Theron says nothing as he moves.
<Jennifer`> * Darce grumbles and heads to medical.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> *skittering about the med bay, wearing her nurse uniform*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the medical bay.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Next!
<SPoC> 6Dias limps in and moves over to a bed, laying across it with his bloodied ass up.
<Marcus`> Shoulda known she'd be doing that. *he says when steps in Medbay and lays Lilith down on a table.* She's just exhausted, but look her over if you want.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> *starts moving between the wounded, trying to fix them up*
<Kit> <Voice> Wow." 6Whistle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just uses his percocet.
<DeathStar> 6* And vicodin
<DeathStar> 6* And darvacet.
* Marcus` sits back, glancing towards the voice.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps snoring. Good thing Dias doesn't see her in the buff
* SPoC looks over at Warren. 1"I will try to restore our eyes so we can see what's going on."
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Mr. Warren~
<DeathStar> <Warren> Acceptable.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Myria, looking nervous
* SPoC steps out and moves off to do such a feat
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina does a scan of his ass.
<Marcus`> *Theron lays Cheryl down, making sure to cover her up.
<Kit> 6A petite, green-eyed brunette stands there, one hand on a hip, the other at her side casually. She peers at everyone and back down the way she came. 1"Having fun, I see."
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> You seem to be missing something...so...
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems to be calculating his odds of survival.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy walks in to see if Setsuna is okay. She's her mommy.
<Kit> 6She wears a military uniform and a berette with a couple of noteworthy pins, but seems unarmed if that counts for anything.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> I can supply you with a new arm! *pose*
* Marcus` puts a hand on the hilt of his weapons. "Who are you?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... .... 6* He grabs the brunette and begins to walk off. "Work to do. Later."
* SPoC stops eyeing the new person. She pulls her gun out and holds it to towards her face.
* SPoC eyes Warren then holsters her gun, moving off again
<Kit> <Military Girl> Uh, apparently I'm busy, Later!~
* Cassandra`` walks in soon after.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leans in close to Setsuna, looking worried.
* Marcus` realizes it was probably Warren's stripper and just tilts his head back, looking up at the ceiling.
<Kit> 6She waves over a shoulder, following along with Warren.
<SPoC> <Dias> So how bad is it? Will I survive?
<Kit> <Chii> ...I just got a chill down my spine.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yep.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna is unconscious
* Cassandra`` moves in over next to Billy and Setsuna...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pokes Setsuna with something, seeing if she'll wake up.
<SPoC> <Dias> Will I atleast get a cool scar?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you want one.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ni?
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Who needs to be examined now?!
<DeathStar> <Billy> Are you going to give her robotic parts like yourself, Momma Cass?
<Kit> 6Chii goes back to kicking her feet idly while observing Cheryl's rest.
<Cassandra``> Wait, what?
<DeathStar> 6* Chii can't get any thoughts from Cheryl; apparantly being asleep spares her that.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, whenever you get shot or blown up, you get some new part!
<Kit> NRP: Mama Cass. * Envisions her as an overweight candy connosieur
<Cassandra``> NRP: <Cas> *chockes on a ham sandwich*
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL!!
<Marcus`> *Theron turns to Myria. "Cheryl needs to rest, make sure she can do so properly."
<Kit> <Chii> Hey now, don't do anything funny to her.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Ok. *goes to give Cheryl a sedative*
<Kit> 6Chii gives Myria a funny look, with narrowed eyes.
<Marcus`> *Theron places a hand on her shoulder. "I meant, get her a pillow."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his ruined office sadly.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> ...didn't specify... *goes to distribute pillows*
<SPoC> <Dias> Is it out yet?
<Kit> <Military Girl> Heheh, guess this isn't a time for saying one should clean their room after playing with their toys. I guess it goes without saying that this place is comprimised either way, right?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Almost.
* Jennifer` steps up next to Warren and looks in.
<Jennifer`> "Ow."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... ... 6* He sighs sadly.
* Marcus` slaps Dias' ass. "Does that hurt?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy gives Setsuna a mysterious pill.
<Marcus`> *Theron would be bleeding from his shoulder for those that might notice.
<DeathStar> 6* Which is no one.
<SPoC> 6Dias howls in pain, smacking his fist against the side of the bed.
<Cassandra``> Well...that's because my body was nearly completely destroyed...I think Setsuna's wounds are mostly superficial...
<Kit> <Military Girl> Surely you have a new place lined up, Master Architect.
* Marcus` shrugs. "Looks like it's still in there."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts, then eyes her*
<Kit> 6The brunette turns smiling warmly at Jennifer. 1"Hey, kiddo. How've you been?"
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> *then darts at Theron with a spraycan*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. Your breasts are bigger now.
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes Myria. "What are you doing?"
<Kit> <Military Girl> Haa haa, stop, you'll make me blush.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks shifty eye, making sure no one noticed her giving Setsuna medicine
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Hold steal! *leaps*
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<Cassandra``> ...what did you do, Billy...?
<DeathStar> <Billy> N-Nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks innocent.
* Jennifer` blinks, looking at the Brunette, "I-I'm well."
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts out of the way, eyeing her. "Miss Myria, stop this."
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> I'm very serious... you're wounded.
<Kit> 6The brunette reaches inside her formal jacket and removes something, a photo, handing it to Warren. 1"I made some friends, you know. People tend to mature around other people."
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances down. "I am?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the photo.
* Jennifer` leans up on her toes to see it.
<Kit> 6It's a pretty standard 'on leave' photo of around eight or nine people of a military unit. Varying sizes, some of the callous stoic types, some of the goofy kid at heart types. The brunette's off to the left in the ground, being hung off by two other female officers making hand gestures. Frankly, she looks like the shy one.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Hold still... *sprays Theron's shoulder with the spraycan*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts in amusement
<Cassandra``> Billy...
<Jennifer`> "Looks like you had fun..."
<Marcus`> *Theron holds still, he frowns. "An unfortunate slip."
<DeathStar> <Billy> *sways* Yes?
<Cassandra``> Confess...
<Kit> <Military Girl> Yeah, it happens when you look for it. It helps that I like my work.
<DeathStar> <Billy> .... 6* She runs away
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Be more careful, next time. *applies a bandage over it*
* Cassandra`` rolls her eyes...
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna's wounds are instantly healed thanks to the pill.
<Kit> NRP: * Cassandra holds up a cross. "Confess! Confess!" Billy hisses.
* Jennifer` smiles a little.
<Kit> <Military Girl> Too bad I had an unfortunate work-related accident. They'll be sad, I'm sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in his crooked chair
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Anyone else?
<Marcus`> *Theron smiles at Myria and looks around, then steps out.
<Jennifer`> "An easy way to get off work."
<DeathStar> <Warren> As will we. When you you ahve an accident.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sounds unconvincingly.
<Kit> 6The brunette sits on the remaining edge of the desk, grinning like a cheshire. 1"Oh you're so kind, Warren."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I know.
<Kit> <Military Girl> So... Why the sudden call?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I missed your commentary.
<Marcus`> Be sure to be gentle with him. He values his ass. *he says to Kat, smiling before walking off*
<Kit> 6The brunette lifts a hand and adjusts the spectacles. 1"That's all? Haha."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina yanks out a piece of debris
<DeathStar> 6* Warren picks up a cracked datapad, acting like he's working. "Yes."
* Jennifer` fidgets a little. "So... who are you Miss?"
<SPoC> 6Dias winces as he smacks the table again
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slaps on a bandaid. "There you go."
<Kit> <Military Girl> What, you don't recognize me? I haven't been gone that long.
<SPoC> 6Dias pulls his pants up, sniffling slightly
<Kit> 6Lilith sits up suddenly like some cheesy zombie movie.
<Kit> <Lilith> ..." 6She hops off the table and hovers out of the medical bay.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores louder.
<Cassandra``> 6<12Myria6> Crazy~~~
<Kit> 6The brunette blinks a moment, then leans over and snatches up Jennifer's hand.
* Jennifer` blinks, looking at her. "H-Hey..."
<Kit> <Military Girl> Hey! Warren, I'm not the only one growing up. Haa haa.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up slowly.
* Jennifer` looks away shyly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren unclicks his gun
<Kit> 6The brunette waves Jennifer's hand at Warren cheerfully. 1"She's starting to take initiative."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren unholesters his gun
<Jennifer`> "I-I... I..."
* Jennifer` blinks, looking at the girl, then her dad.
<Kit> 6The brunette deadpans. 1"Oy, what's your problem?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Go talk to your twin.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren goes back to his datapad.
<Kit> <Military Girl> Suppose I could. Didn't like the first time I was shot, don't need another.
<SPoC> <Dias> Thanks Kat, your a life saver. 6He wiggles his ass.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Anytime. 6* She notes, trying not to eye the ass.
<Jennifer`> "Twin...? Are you Chii's...?"
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gooone
* Jennifer` looks at her disbelieving.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ahhh, nearly good as new.
<Kit> 6The brunette shifts her gaze to Jennifer, grinning widely again. Her eyes flash golden, remaining yellow, then in a quick but gradual shift, her hair goes long and pale, though she remains in the military uniform.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *sighs* And there goes the new look. *he sounds sad*
* Jennifer` blinks and looks at Warren again.
<Kit> 6Freyja lets go of Jennifer's hand and reaches back to pull her hair into a simple braid for the moment. 1"Just a persona, dear."
<Jennifer`> "I-I liked it..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina spots Chii with Cheryl. "Well, I'll go back to my room now." 6* She gives Dias a smile and moves off.
<SPoC> <Dias> Take care Kat. 6He nods to her.
<Kit> 6Freyja inclines her head. 1"Well, whatever." 6Only takes a second to shift back, but she retains her fox's ears and tail, which simultaneously reappear on Chii in the medbay.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren still sighs sadly.
<Kit> 6The berette is tilted slightly. 1"So what's she ruined now?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nothing at all.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren appears to be sad that Freyja has ears and a tail.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at Chii and Cheryl then moves over to the medical cabinet and rummages through it
* Retrieving #taw modes...
<Kit> 6Freyja peers between Jennifer and Warren and sighs, snapping her fingers. 1"Yeesh, whatever happened to 'be yourself?'" She hides her fox aspects.
* DeathStar changes topic to ' Topic is 'Welcome to Year 11 | TAW 4: TEP (251-present) | TAW 4: PAX has ended (1-250) | Season 14 (Beginnings): 16 of 22 complete | Overall Session #281 (831) | Episode Seventeen: Shifting Shapes | Tues/Thurs @ 8:00 PM | Visit our sister RPG #Erevis' '
<Kit> <Freyja> Seriously, though. She's ...fine?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren smiles now.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She wants to become a baby. And she's lost her friendship with Katrina. 6* He notes casually, as if talking about the stock market.
<Jennifer`> "I think she's doting on Cheryl now."
<Cassandra``> NRP: And now...I need to get to bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren makes a face.
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Baby? Why would she.." 6She jerks, as if beholding a realization before almost staring through Jennifer. 1"...Cheryl..?"
<Kit> NRP: Nightnight Cass.
<Jennifer`> "Yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren loves his spy cameras.
<Cassandra``> NRP: And I apologize for blowing up earlier. *insert punnery here*
<DeathStar> NRP: Zing!
<DeathStar> NRP: At least you got yourself back together!
<Cassandra``> NRP: Night night
<Kit> 6Almost dismissingly. 1"I... I'm not surprised about Cheryl. But..."
<Kit> <Freyja> I wasn't aware she possessed that kind of ability, Warren." 6She suddenly looks serious.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren acts like his datapad is the most fascinating thing ever.
* Cassandra`` has left #taw
<DeathStar> <Warren> Perhaps she doesn't. Perhaps she needs you
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up.
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, the first thing to go would be this form, you know.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just grunts.

<Kit> <Freyja> Of all the things Chii might do, bluffing isn't one of them.
<Kit> 6Freyja crosses her arms and stares intently at the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren props his head up, idlely.
<DeathStar> 6* At least he's high
<Kit> <Freyja> I've moved away from that, though. No sense chasing my tail.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, as if he's listening
<Kit> 6Freyja squints. 1"She would make a terrible child. High maintenance, little peace."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tries to sleep with his eyes open.
<Kit> 6Freyja gestures toward Jennifer. 1"Sealant."
<Jennifer`> "What...?"
<SPoC> 6Dias steps back from the medical cabinet with some stuff and he turns, moving out, he eyes Chii's fox ears and rolls his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts awake, eyeing Chii. "Hee. Foxy." 6* She falls asleep again, snroing
<Kit> <Freyja> Whoever was helping you out doesn't deal with lots of gunpowder or discharges of heat, so I'll assume it was either Katrina or the dog girl.
<Kit> <Freyja> You should use a polish or sealant unlike them, or they'll dry out and crack on a regular basis." 6She waves her hand and moves out.
<Jennifer`> "I-It was Lilith..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sleeps with his eyes open
<Kit> <Freyja> Tomoe... Tomoe, ahaha.." 6She giggles down the corridor.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks blankly at Cheryl. 1"...Huh?"
* SPoC steps out of the medbay and moves down the hallway.
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl responds with more snoring
<Kit> 6Freyja, the brunette girl in uniform stares as she passes Dias. 1"Hm, you've grown, too."
<SPoC> <Dias> Ho?! 6He looks at Frejya oddly.
<Kit> 6The brunette just smiles, then enters the medbay.
<SPoC> 6Dias just shrugs and walks off, probably feeling lucky he doesn't have to see any talking.
<DeathStar> -SPECIAL CHII/FREYJA SCENE CONTINUED NEXT MINI!-
Session Close: Fri Jan 04 00:08:20 2008

Session Start: Sun Jan 06 00:32:28 2008
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080106.log'
<Kit> Location: NewHQ >_>
* DeathStar is now known as DS[Gone]
* Angela is now known as Jennifer`
<Kit> 6Chii leans over Cheryl, drooling slightly having long fallen asleep while watching someone sleep.
* Jennifer` sneaks up on Chii.
<Kit> 6Lilith floats down one of the corridors having finished a nap, and while still not coincidingly chipper or up to juggling cars with magnetics, takes solace, or lack thereof, in invading Myria's secret lab.
<Kit> 6Freyja, the brunette officer, sneaks up behind Jennifer while she sneaks up on Chii, made easier by the lack of footsteps while she levitates slightly.
* Jennifer` gently pokes Chii's cheek.
<Kit> 6Freyja lifts up, looming over Jennifer and peering in curiousity as her counterpart's poked at. Chii fidgets once, murmuring something about takoyaki, then goes back to drooling in her silent, other than breathing, doze.
* Jennifer` pokes her again gently.
<Kit> 6Chii bites Jennifer's finger.
<Kit> <Freyja> Haa haa.
<Jackieness> 6* The lab's lights are off
<Kit> 6Lilith stands there in the dark, her red eyes glowing. Apparently she will wait for her quarry.
<Jackieness> NRP: AFK
* Jennifer` looks at Chii, her finger seeming undamaged, sort of hard, it's the fake one.
* Jennifer` looks at Freyja, "You keep followin me..."
<Kit> 6Chii chews for whatever reason, making whiney noises.
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, yes. I was told to speak with Chiichan, after all.
<Jennifer`> "Were you told or did you suggest it to Dad and he just told you to do it?"
* Jennifer` smiles a little and pulls her finger out.
<Kit> 6Freyja leans down, smiling pleasantly before Jennifer's face. 1"Oh, are you suggesting I'm easily manipulated?"
<Jackieness> NRP: Bak
<Kit> NRP: Wb.
<Jackieness> 6* Soon, the door to the lab opens and someone walks in...
<Kit> 6Lilith continues to stare, sitting on her knees in the center of the floor, the red eyes still glowering. 1"Greetings."
* Jennifer` smiles a little, "No, I just know how most conversations with Dad tend to go."
<Jackieness> 6* The lights come on...
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> *look taller and more mature than usual as she stares narrowly at Lilith*
<Kit> <Freyja> Do you now?
<Kit> 6Freyja reaches up and pinches at Jennifer's cheeks, tugging.
<Kit> 6Lilith continues to stare, her pollite sitting posture perpetual.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> ...this is my private space.
* Jennifer` acks and blinks, looking up at her, "Hey!"
<Kit> <Freyja> Yes?" 6Bemused.
<Kit> <Lilith> Which is why it is logical to find you here.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> ...why are you here?
<Jennifer`> "WHat are you doing?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Having fun.
<Jennifer`> "Well that hurts."
<Kit> 6Freyja lets go of Jennifer, then floats over and settles down on her feet, reaching over to yank a bit more harshly on Chii's cheeks, whom snorts, then gasps and jerks upward before crying. 1"Grahh!"
<Kit> <Lilith> I believe I stated looking for you, Lady Myria.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Why?
<Kit> <Chii> Whrut reh rell..!?
* Jennifer` giggles
<Kit> <Lilith> You offered to be my tutor, I believe.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Did I? *moves to sit*
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles softly, then lets go. Chii careens back and points, practically snarling. 1"You!"
<Kit> <Freyja> Me?
<Kit> <Chii> You're back!
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm back.
<Kit> 6Chii twitches visibly and sits up, wiping her mouth with an agitated look.
<Jennifer`> "Wow, somehow glad my only siblings still too young to yell."
<Kit> <Lilith> Unless you meant it by some other means.
<Kit> <Freyja> Hee, have you been a good girl while I was gone, Chiichan?
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Hmmm...oh...yes...
<Kit> <Chii> Oh fuck you." 6She scoffs and peers elsewhere.
<Kit> <Freyja> That's not very nice, Chiichan. You should hug me and say 'Welcome back, mama!'
<Kit> 6Chii peers back slowly, deathly. 1"..."
<Jennifer`> "Momma?" o.O
<Kit> 6Jennifer would notice one of her hands flicking fingers about one of her guns.
<Kit> 6Lilith eyes Myria before rising to her feet. 1"You seem distracted."
<Kit> <Chii> Oneesan was a stretch. I would die before I call you that.
<Kit> <Freyja> From what I hear, that's a distinct possibility.
<Kit> 6Chii's expression drops from irritation to alarm. 1"..."
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Mmm-hmmmm...
<Kit> <Lilith> I will leave you alone then.
<Kit> 6Lilith bows to Myria, then begins floating out of the lab.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Hold on...
<Kit> 6Lilith rotates slowly in the air, blinking once.
<Jennifer`> "Same possibility that you keep trying to become mine with Warren?" *she eyes Freyja*
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> What do you wish to learn?
<Kit> 6Freyja turns and blinks once with a smile to Jennifer. 1"Hm?"
* Jennifer` smiles back. "Hmmmm?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, if you don't wish to specify.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...We covered this before. I wish to become more attuned to the nature of the current world, since I have never acclimated myself beyond my own time.
<Kit> 6Chii stares between the two, then glances solely at Jennifer. 1"Wait, what? She's trying to become your mother?"
<Kit> <Chii> Spare yourself. End your life.
<Kit> <Freyja> How presumptuous, let alone rude.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> You have to forgive me as the Myria you know is not currently in the driver seat.
<Kit> <Lilith> Interesting. You suffer from such a thing as well?
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Long story.
<Kit> <Lilith> I have plenty of time. My story is long as well.
<Kit> NRP: * Peers at Jennifer's 12 minute idle.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> That means I'm in no mood to answer.
<Kit> <Lilith> I see. I have learned something.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Also realize that I'm not from this planet, so my perspective is a touch different.
<Jennifer`> "Well... if she's rtying to hit on my Dad."
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Freyja slowly.
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Jennifer in turn. 1"I haven't even been here more than a few hours. Am I now? Perhaps you're merely coming of that age."
<Kit> <Lilith> Many that associate with this group are not of this planet.
<Jennifer`> "Of what age?"
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles and clasps her hands together, her cheerful disposition oddly juxtaposed with the military uniform. 1"The age of special interests, especially in boys. It's common for girls your age to place such ideals on others."
<Kit> 6Lilith turns slowly and eyes Myria again. 1"Although I am from this planet, I am outside of time. Everything is foreign to me save the master I serve."
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Mmm-hmmm...
<Kit> <Lilith> Why do you seem so bothered, Lady Other-Myria?
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Its late.
<Kit> <Lilith> Do your kind sleep during the day?
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Is it day?
<Jennifer`> "I ummm... I don't think that's it..."
<Kit> <Lilith> It shall be for many more hours. However, many events have transpired this day so it is easy to be weary.
<Kit> <Freyja> Really? Too bad. Perhaps you're a late bloomer like Chiichan. I'm still waiting for her to enter that phase.
<Kit> <Chii> Like hell.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> We shall worry about your education once things calm down.
<Jennifer`> "L-Late bloomer?"
<Kit> <Lilith> Will you not cease to be 'in charge,' Lady Other-Myria?
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Who says I'm never not in charge...
<Kit> <Freyja> Yes, though hopefully you have more interest than Chiichan. It's been centuries and she's still yet to find herself a sweetheart.
<Kit> <Chii> Do you want me to decapitate you? I am looking for a soul, my own would be just as well.
<Kit> <Freyja> You should mind the patient, Chiichan. Such unpleasant thoughts might affect her recovery, hee.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks toward Cheryl and gulps.
<Kit> <Lilith> Forgive me, as I do not know anything about you, it is hard for me to understand whom it may be with seniority.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Its alright. *waves her hand*
<Kit> <Lilith> ...I did not mean to insult you. Hrmph.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> *shakes a finger* I'm not insulted.
<Kit> <Lilith> I wonder.
<Kit> 6Lilith seems to ponder, despite a lack of expression.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Hmmm?
<Kit> <Lilith> You still seem gloomy, in my opinion." 6Coming from the stoic one.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> So says you.
<Kit> 6Lilith is taken aback, then crosses her arms. 1"...Yes, so says I."
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Takes one to know one.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...I am gloomy?
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Maybe.
<Kit> 6Lilith peers upward for a moment, then gazes back down. 1"...I see."
<Kit> 6She takes a long breath... then, grins. 1"Hello!"
<Kit> -END-

<Kit> -Begin- Stardate: 10-588.2.25, Locale: New HQ
<Kit> 6Lilith returns to Raquel's room at a time in the early afternoon, having bothered 'Lady Other Myria' several times further than liked. Her expression twisted into some, for once, obvious annoyance. She closes the door quietly, unassuming of Raquel's state of consciousness these days.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks up from where she was watching a video, and smiles as she sees Lilith. She sits up, turning off the pad. But says nothing for the moment.
<Kit> 6Lilith turns her head toward the video, the annoyance pretty much loss on realization of other things, and then gazes back to Raquel. 1"I did not mean to interrupt, Lady Raquel. Please continue."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shakes her head, "No... it's nothing." 6She regards Lilith, "...how have you been, recently?"
<Kit> 6Lilith inclines her head in a slow drift, before uttering. 1"Stable."
<Kit> 6Lilith pulls her arms across her chest, lifting one knee a bit. She's floating. 1"...I have been having trouble walking, however, with Lady Myria and Sir Marcus assisting, I am doing well."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel giggles a little, "I'm glad you're doing better with that. You've been out and about a lot more."
<Kit> <Lilith> I should not be. You are alon--" 6She pauses, gazing around the room awkwardly.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...Lilith?"
<Kit> <Lilith> I was to say you are alone, but that is not the case this time.
<Kit> 6Lilith fixates below the bunk for the bed.
<Ariel> Raquel> "It... feels like it some times."
<Kit> <Lilith> I mean you are truly not alone. Though there was a lack of unique spiritual signature to derive and I lack the true senses of an inugami at the moment.
<Kit> 6The bunk bed sneezes.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel jumps at the sneeze.
<Kit> 6Lilith holds out her hand and a sound a high pitched unwinding sound emits before a started cry and then her hand yanks back and with it a white-haired young woman slides out from under the bunk, her eyes stricken with annoyance.
<Kit> <Chii> That's cheap, using my own monofilament wire to bind.
<Kit> 6Lilith eyes her, having manipulated the metal in the wire to animate it and capture Chii.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel giggles a little, "Is that nessisary, Lilith?"
<Kit> <Lilith> My senses are dulled. I was unaware of who it was.
<Kit> 6Lilith gestures with her hand and releases the hold on the wire, which Chii winds back up and sets away in one of her many pouches of items.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks at Chii, "...what were you doing here?"
<Kit> 6Chii glances up, brushing herself off. Yes, she still has all her weapons and tools, even though she's just wearing a shortened tanktop and jean shorts. 1"...Hiding, of course."
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, then crawls back under the bed, turning around so her yellow eyes glower from the shade.
<Kit> <Lilith> ..." 6Inclines her head.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...hiding from who?"
<Kit> <Chii> Who do you think? The evil one in white.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Evil one. In white?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...who's that?"
<Kit> 6Chii ambles out enough that she can lean on her elbows, squinting. 
<Kit> <Chii> Oneesan. You know, the other me, Freyja.
<Ariel> Raquel> "You're hiding from... your other self?"
<Kit> <Chii> Duh!
<Kit> <Lilith> She seems more unstable than myself, Lady Raquel. Shall I dispose of her?
<Kit> <Chii> Dispose of me? Ahahaha! Roll over, girl. Play dead. Tch.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...I do not understand your requests.
<Ariel> Raquel> "No... it's okay. Come sit over here, Lilith?"
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Kit> 6Lilith peers at Chii, then Raquel, then Chii, then floats over and sets herself down beside Raquel, closing her eyes.
<Kit> <Chii> ...You two aren't going to like. You know?
<Kit> 6Chii gazes upward, squinting. 1"...Are you?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...going to what?"
<Kit> <Chii> I'll take that as a no. What do you guys do for fun anyway? Besides, you know, watch corny old movies.
<Kit> 6Lilith opens her eyes and shifts them slowly to stare at Raquel.
<Ariel> Raquel> *leans against Lilith and ponders* "...whatever seems good at the time."
<Kit> <Lilith> ...I enjoy naps on Lady Raquel.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm sure you do.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...
<Kit> 6Chii inches out from under the bed and twists around to sit crosslegged. 1"...She seems different, but it's still Freyja. Kind of like the pup's a bit different, but still the pup. You know?"
<Ariel> Raquel> *nods understandingly*
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I feel like I'm standing still and no one else is, some days."
<Kit> <Lilith> You are standing still, Lady Raquel.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, that's a good girl. Bright one, isn't she?
<Kit> 6Lilith shifts her eyes and stares blankly at Chii.
<Kit> <Chii> I guess I understand. I was a stillframe for a long time, right? So... ever given though to ..being animated?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...being what?"
<Kit> <Chii> Animated. You know, where you take a dozen or so frames and string them together to-- grah. Duh.
<Kit> <Chii> Moving, yarou. Quit standing still. I'm not good at this kind of crap.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms and twitches visibly.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks oddly at Chii
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-what..!?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you're odd."
<Kit> <Chii> ...I should find that offensive, I imagine, but it's coming from you.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...and how does it make you less odd to be called so by me?"
<Kit> <Chii> Credability's out the window when I consider the closest things you have to a housepet and family around.
<Kit> 6Lilith moves slightly, as if going to react but then failing to comprehend to what.
<Ariel> Raquel> "It is not a measure of my credibility... it's the point where your condition is relative to."
<Kit> <Chii> Touch・mi amour.
<Kit> <Chii> But seriously. She's as nice as ever and it's creeping me the hell out.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Her kindness is cause for your alarm?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I don't blaim her then."
<Kit> 6Chii waves her hands. 1"Eh? Blame her?!"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I was talking to Lilith."
<Ariel> Raquel> "Or... should I not refer to you as 'her'?"
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Ah! You were, Lady Requel? I am sorry.
<Kit> 6Chii squints at Raquel. 1"Oh haa haa."
<Kit> <Chii> So you understand, right? She's creepy, creepy.
<Kit> <Lilith> Creepy, creepy..." 6She seems to be absorbing this, as if studying social habits.
<Kit> 6Chii points and nods to Lilith. 1"I bet she took the time off to plot revenge, and oh man can she pull that kind of thing off. The last place anyone would look for me would be here with you two."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I doubt it."
<Kit> <Chii> ...Are you agreeing or disagreeing?" 1Glare.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...disagreeing on both accounts."
<Kit> <Chii> Rehh!? You really think people would look here for me!?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I just said so, didn't I?"
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes. 1"People hide here often, then. I see."
<Kit> <Lilith> No they do n--
<Kit> <Chii> So, you don't think she's been plotting?
<Ariel> Raquel> "Why must she have been plotting something...?"
<Kit> 6Chii seems to consider this. 1"...Because she's a fox spirit? It's what we do."
<Kit> <Chii> She's good at it.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...then wouldn't the greatest trick be to have someone to prepare for something that isn't coming?"
<Kit> <Chii> ... ... ...
<Kit> 6Chii facepalms. 1"She's too good."
<Ariel> Raquel> *smiles*
<Kit> 6A knock inquires at the door. Both Lilith and Chii respectively glance at it, however, Chii makes no move to answer it, not being her room, and Lilith instead rises to check it. 1"Shall I answer, Lady Raquel?"
<Ariel> Raquel> *speaks up* "Yes?"
<Kit> <Female> Hello, is Spirit in?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...come in."
<Kit> 6Lilith motions to open the door, then steps aside and returns to Raquel as yet another young lady steps into the room. Green-eyed with dark brown hair set into two-orderly braids pinned up. She's still in a secreterial military uniform with a jacket and berette, but her gleeful expression seems to contradict that sort of thing.
<Kit> 6The girl enters, gives a half-hearted salute, then grins. 1"Hiya, Spirit. Been a while."
<Ariel> Raquel> "......"
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes, then slips back beneath the bed.
<Kit> 6Lilith stares impassively while the girl wanders over and clasps her hands behind her. 1"Eh, what's that face for?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you are being creepy happy."
<Kit> 6The voice is clearly Freyja's, since other than the appearance, she had no need to change such things. 1"Is that such a bad thing?"
<Kit> <Freyja> I suppose things are a bit out of order, though.
<Ariel> Raquel> "A little..."
<Kit> 6Freyja moves forward a bit, then reaches up and takes off the berrete. She kneels, then sets the cap aside and bows to her forehead and hands. 1"My apologies, Spirit."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...my name is Raquel."
<Kit> 6The girl in uniforms sits up and blinks a few times, then curls her lips gently. 1"Raquel then."
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<Kit> 6Freyja apologises... for something!

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.2.27
* Dias-Owned is now known as Dias`
<DeathStar> Location: New HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina remains in her room, tapping a pen on her knee. She prefers old writing instruments sometimes.
* Dias` steps out of his room, his knuckles taped tightly, the tape going half-way down his forearms.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works out with her drone. She bashes on it, then it counters and attacks back. The two seem to be pretty even
* Dias` is now known as Chad`Winters
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to Kat's door and raps his knuckles against it
* Seraphna is now known as ANgela
* ANgela is now known as Angela
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, then glances at the door. "Come in."
<Angela> * Jennifer sits, watching Cheryl battle the drone.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias opens the door and leans his head in. 
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yo yo.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey, Dias. 6* She gives him a smile.
<Kit> 6Chii looms over Jennifer, not saying anything for once, but suffice to say she snuck up quite silently and has been since Freyja rearrived.
<Angela> * Jenn slowly looks up as she notices a shadow, then falls over. "Ack!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws the drone across the room. "Shut down." 6* She says after it lands, and it doesn't get back up. Cheryl's sadistic like that. She stretches a bit, seemingly in a good mood, even with a bond.
<DeathStar> 6* She then glances at all the noise, putting a hand on her hip. "Hey, you two."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm about to head down to work out, just curious to see if you wanted to go a few rounds yet.
<Angela> * Jenn waves from her collapsed position.
<Kit> 6Lilith, in the corner and barely dodging the drone since she was practicing balance on one foot, cries inside.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll pass. You're out of my league and you know it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I thought we went over this once already.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Still.
<Kit> <Chii> Seems like it's doing its job. At least, you seem to be enjoying yourself, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You'd get more out of the drone.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, pretty much.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Psct. 1"You'd get more out of me.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Would I? 6* She gets that smile.
<Angela> Jenn> "Would it be hard for me to train with it?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I am good. 6He smirks cockily
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not at all. It learns with you.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl for a little while, then rubs the back of her neck. She pauses, then allows Jennifer to speak instead of saying her mind for the moment. Lilith gets to her feet, studying the drone, then resumes her stance with one leg lifted.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up. "Sure, why not. Let me get changed."
<Angela> Jenn> "Oh neat! Can I give it a try?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Have at it. 6* She waves her hand. "Just tell it your name."
<Kit> <Chii> It's still not bullet or bomb proof, right?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Alright. 6He leans back, leaning against the hallway
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... right.
<Kit> <Chii> Kay. No guns or explosives, Jennifer.
<Angela> * Jennifer hops up and walks over to it. "Jennifer Carmichael."
<DeathStar> 6* The drone responds and acts completely off scenes, for the GM is too lazy to GM the drone
<Kit> 6Lilith looks startled as the drone careens back to its feet and begins hopping away on one foot-- eventually touching both feet and scurrying away-- unstable, but now walking without floating back to Raquel's room.
<Angela> * Jennifer does battle with it in a spectacular manner that's completely out of the budget thus cannot be shown.
<Chad`Winters> 6The two slap each other.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks bored watching
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps outside, wearing some clothing more suited to working out. "Alright.'
<Kit> <Chii> It's just not the same." 6Peers at Cheryl. 1"It lacks the borderline intent, right?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nice. 6He smiles and starts heading down to the training room, his hands behind his back. He's wearing a pink shirt and yellow pants.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We all have to start somewhere, I suppose.
<Kit> 6Chii gazes skeptically at the two. 1"True. She's a rookie to us all, supposedly."
<Kit> 6Chii then peers around herself and flits her tail about. 1"So um. Freyja's back."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is she?
<Kit> <Chii> I can see through it, but she's waltzing about like some lieutenant's trophy sidekick or something.
<Kit> <Chii> Creepy, creepy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. I hadn't noticed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks beside Dias
<Angela> * Jennifer finishes a round, panting, smiling, "This is great! Perfect for when everyone's too busy to train!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think todays' gonna be a good day, you?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *shrugs*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe.
<Kit> 6Chii tilts her head to Jennifer. 1"Sure, if you like that sort of thing. We can't really fight it with everything we have in most cases so you'll still have to learn from some of us personally."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides off, perhaps in search of something else to do
<Angela> Jen> "Well yeah, but I gotta practice!"
<Kit> <Chii> Hey, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances back.
<Kit> 6Chii rummages about in one of her satchels, then holds out a bottle of midori. 1"It's probably a little. Eh, 'girly' compared to your norm, but hey. Cheers."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it. She looks touched. "Thanks, Chii."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shrugs back at her and steps into the training room. He moves to a cleared spot
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps over, stretching a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances over at Katrina and Dias. "Hmmm."
<Kit> <Chii> Don't mention it." 6She follows the gaze and peers at the two as well.
<Angela> * Jennifer trots over to them, fixing her hair a little, which has been combed and even has a hair clip keeping it neat.
<Kit> 6Chii squints at Jennifer. 1"...Oy. What's... nah, never mind."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias claps his hands together as he jogs in place. 1"Don't hold back on me now."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Riiiight.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds up her hands in a loose, very unprofessional stance.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his neck around then slides into his muay thai stance.
<Angela> * Jennifer looks at Chii, "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands there, apparantly not going first.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Are you... trying to look... 'cute?'
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* Cute.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ready?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ready.
<Angela> * Jennifer looks between them, blinking, "Cute...? I..." *she looks at Cherly and blinks*
<Angela> * CHERYL
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods then kicks in, he leaps up throwing a knee towards her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back.
* Chad`Winters comes down and swings his left elbow downwards for her shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts forward as he's coming down and as he begins to swing. She shifts to the side, throwing a punch out for his stomach.
* Kit has quit IRC (cosmos.esper.net damocles.esper.net)
* Kit has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kit
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias clenches as he's hit and he lands awkwardly, hopping backwards on his left foot
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes low, sweep kicking out at Dias' leg as he hops.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Jennifer strangely. 1"Where've you been taking hints, anyway?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps her arms crossed, watching the training match
<Angela> Jennifer> "U-Ummm... mostly from... Lilith..."
<Kit> 6Lilith recoils backward. 1"Y-You serious?"
<Kit> NRP: Chii. Holy, wow.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias falls backwards as his leg's swept out from under him, his throws his weight back abruptly as he falls and lands on his hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rises again, holding a more traditional stance now.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands on his hands, his leg's poised to strike as he waits.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just stands there, holding a distance
<Angela> Jennifer> "Well... yeah... is something wrong with it...?"
<Kit> <Chii> I guess that's not a bad mentor, just... wow. Who would've thought? Isn't she from like. Heian... no, never mind. Good luck with that. Instead of being Freyja's doll maybe we'll get a guntoting geisha.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias handwalks towards Kat and swings his left foot at her chest.
<Jackieness> NRP: Myria already did up Cass in the gun-totting geisha look.
<Kit> NRP: And Chii would've laughed her ass off if she saw it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just sidesteps.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias plants his left hand and he pivots, both legs splitting and swinging out at Kat.
<Angela> Jennifer> "Gun toting... geisha?" *she blinks a bit* "ANd what do you mean by Freyja's doll?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a far step back.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Don't you remember what I looked like when I met you guys? Freyja gets carried away.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This is good. 6He nods to himself and he peddles towards her.
<Kit> 6Chii leans toward Cheryl. 1"Out of curiousity, why's he fighting like a drunken monkey? In the bad way.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No idea.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just keeps walking and avoiding. "I'm so not fighting you like that."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fair enough. 6He crouches and flips onto his feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises her fists again
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides into a low crouch. His hands held forward.
<Angela> Jennifer> "He hits hard..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves into attack range, her arms held just right wehre Dias could score a critical hit to her chest
* Kitzzune has joined #taw
* Kit has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Kitzzune is now known as Kit
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kit
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops forward. His left hand pulls back for a punch but he jabs out his right for her shoulder
* Xanatos has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is hit. She suddenly goes into John's style, jabbing at Dias' throat.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings his head down, letting her jab her forehead insted
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces in pain.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh..! That might... hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clucks her tongue
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shakes his head briefly then drops low, sweep kicking for her feet
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is swept, since she was focused on her fingers. She lands on her back.
<Angela> * Jenn rocks on her heels, watching.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, shifting back to his muay thai stance
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slowly rises again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ready? 6He hops from foot to foot.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess. 6* She sighs, not liking pain
* Xanatos is now known as Drasek`
<Chad`Winters> Than come at me. 6He waves her on
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Alright. 6He hops in at her, leaning in as he throws his left elbow towards her chest
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps to the side
<DeathStar> NRP: *she sounds like Kenichi in Episode 2*
<Chad`Winters> NRP: LOL!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *Dias eyes glow bright white*
<Kit> <Chii> Huh, she isn't half bad.
<Drasek`> *Marcus steps in, arching a brow at seeing the two sparring.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias plants his foot and he spins, throwing a backwards elbow to her right shoulder
<Angela> Jennifer> "Maybe I can learn something from her... even if Dad doesn't like her."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina suddenly grits her teeth, then holds out her palm, letting it impact. She suddenly grips on and yanks him forward, throwing up her knee for his head.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias head snaps back and he take a step back.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina spins rapidly on one foot, throwing out her foot for his chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appraises the fight.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps back with his other foot and plants hard, both his hands snapping forward to block the incoming kick
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts, then springs forward, using Dias' hands almost as a stepping stone to flip over him. She was always more nimble than John.
<DeathStar> 6* Once she lands, she thrusts her hands out to impact into his kidneys
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias plants his leading foot hard and he tenses his body as the blow impacts.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drops low now, trying to sweep kick him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias twists to come to face her and he see's the leg coming in. He flips back onto his hands, letting the sweep swing by. He hand sprints back onto his feet twisting to face her now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina runs and tries to flip over him again
* Chad`Winters pivots on his feet as she goes over him. He than thrusts both his palms out as she comes to land
<Chad`Winters> NRPO: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina twists her arm int othe palm thrust.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs onto her arm and he pulls her in, throwing a knee towards her, stopping the impact before it hits if she's pulled
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's pulled in. Sadly, even though he stopped her attack, Katrina did not. Her knee was going right for his groin as he pulled her in
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hurks as he stands there, his knee an inch from her chest and her knee driven into his balls. He closes his eyes and just falls onto his back.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks down at him.
<Kit> <Chii> Fatality.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whistles.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now that's a finish.
<Angela> * Jenn claps.
<Drasek`> *Marcus laughs, "Now that was impressive."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grimaces shifts, trying to sweep kick her onto her back through a pained look
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, looking concerned, is swept up, not prepared. She lands.
<Kit> "Anyone hungry?" 6The brunette appears in the doorway behind Marcus, then pauses, peering at the focal point. 1"...Eggs."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ugh, I think I have 3 balls now. 6He rolls onto his knees, his fists pounding the mat lightly
<Drasek`> <Marcus> Nice. You can sell the extra one to science.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits up. "That was mean."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl decides to make her exit now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know, sorry. 6He takes a deep breath
<Kit> 6The military-dressed girl eyes Cheryl as she goes to exit. 1"Not hungry? I made crepes."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll pass, Trophy Sidekick.
<Kit> 6Chii turns to watch Cheryl leave and spots her counterpart, making with a quick disappearance.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Good news. I still have two. 6He forces a smile at her.
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks at Cheryl. 1"Eh? You liked what I made last time."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has already stepped out, apparantly out to do something
<Kit> 6Freyja shrugs. 1"Oh well. Whoever's hungry, it'll be in the galley." 6She turns and wanders back down the hall, humming a light tune.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias finally stands and reaches over to help Kat up.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina accepts his help, standing.
<Drasek`> *Marcus glances over at Kat. "So where'd you learn to fight like that?"
<Kit> 6Once Freyja has gone, Chii slips out from behind one of the punching bags, narrowing her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... *she just shakes her head* My brother.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Only from one of the best damn fighters this side of the milky way.
<Drasek`> *Marcus nods his head. "Well it shows. You were amazing."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not really.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wiggles her fingers painfully.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubst he back of his head. 1"Sorry, I gotta think head."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: thick
<Drasek`> <Marcus> Considering I just thought you were a pencil pusher, it was.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I prefer to be a pencil pusher. 6* She notes without humor.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're a little rusty. 6He puts his hands on his hips. 1"But you're still good. Thanks Kat."
<Kit> 6Chii wanders over, rummaging in her satchel, then hands something toward katrina that looks like a container of aloe. 1"Here."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, then awkwardly takes it. "Thanks."
<Drasek`> *Marcus just nods to Katrina, understanding. "Well i'm going to go steal some of those eggs." He gives a small wave and steps towards the exit.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let me know if you get sick from them. 6He waves at Marcus
<Drasek`> *Marcus gives a smile and steps out. "Later."
* Jackieness is now known as Myria
<Angela> * Jennifer heads over to the galley.
