<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
* Angela is now known as Jennifer`
<DeathStar> 6* And so, the team flies off on Myria's mech, now flown by Myria with no explanation
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *hums as she pilots*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds onto the finger of the mech as it zooms along.
<Marcus`> *Theron seats in his seat in the cockpit, eyes scanning the general stats of the gear. Doesn't want something horrible to go wrong for no reason.
<Jennifer`> * Darce holds onto the mech, mumbling.
<DeathStar> 6* A bird flies into the mech, squawking as it goes splat.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> At least its not raining!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lifts a free hand to his ear. "Fly down lower. I don't want their sensors picking us up."
<DeathStar> 6* He says into the comm. so Myria can hear him
<Marcus`> <Theron> Use caution. Myria.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *dips down low*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lower.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Ok! *skids the treetops*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lower.
<Marcus`> *Theron gulps, though he hopes no one hears
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Lower?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lower.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *rucks below the treeline*
<Cassandra`> NRP: ducks
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna tightens her grip.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds onto the finger as trees are now their enemy. And you know what that means? OPPOSITE GAME
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right

<Chii> rlrllrrl
<Cassandra`> rlrllrrl
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 6* The mech zooms perfectly through the trees.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts in approval.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Excellent work.
<DeathStar> 6* In the far distance, a military base can be seen. Warren brings his hand to his ear. "Stop here."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *brings the mech to hover in place*
<Chii> This feels like deja vu.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lets go and drops to the ground, crouching.
<DeathStar> 6* Also at the base, the enemy ship can be seen.
* Chii winces. 1"Last time it involved a tank, not a gear."
<Cassandra`> Do we move out?
<DeathStar> <Warren> We need to inflirtate the ship. However, chances are we will not be able to get into the base without a diversion of some magnitude.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna taps the gear.
<Marcus`> *Theron opens the cockpit and hops out, landing by Warren.
* Cassandra` leaps down to ground level.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks his gun's power pack, then looks up at the gear. "Myria. We'll use your gear as our diversion. Have it fly around to the north of the base, then start attacking. Draw the enemy to it."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna hops down. "Great idea boss. Wish I thought of it."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Godspeed, Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just stares at Setsuna, then glances back toward the base.
<Jennifer`> * Darce fixes his coat and checks his spikes, "Alright... I'm ready..." *Looks and stares at Setsuna.*
<DeathStar> <Warren> If this ship is anything like the last ship, we need to be careful of Dark technology.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Ummm...ok! *starts moving Madara around to approach from the north*
<DeathStar> <Warren> *checks his chronometer* Have the gear attack in....5 mins.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to run toward the base.
* Cassandra` falls in behind Warren.
<Marcus`> *Theron checks the pistol and beam sword that he snatched from his compartment on Madara, then breaks into a run after Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Darce runs with Warren.
<Chii> I'm more worried about one of those doppleganger pricks or scarface.
* Chii begins pondering combinations of her tools as she follows along toward the rear.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren brings out his comm and taps two buttons, then pockets the comm.
<Cassandra`> That's a good point...the problem of the dopplegangers.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm well aware.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Chances are one of the captives will be a doppleganger.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I can always see what happens if I try to... Warren, I had an idea with of few of em."
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is a shame that would could not have provived some type of code to allow us to distinguish them apart.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Who did you block out with this bloody chip?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll learn to tell them apart. Remember. I want one of the dopplegangers alive for study.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just grunts at Darce.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Right, just tell me if I'm doing the impossible then."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches a hill close to the base, then checks the chronometer. 4 minutes and 50 seconds. He waits for Madara to do it's thing
<Marcus`> *Theron slides up by Warren, eyes scanning what he can see of the base.
<Cassandra`> 6* Madara comes tearing from the north in hypercruise mode at the base.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps waiting. The base has four guard towers and a huge ass wall around it, plus lots of buildings, and of course, the ship, which is docked.
<Jennifer`> * Darce kneels down and watches, pulling out a set of claws from his belt and fixing them on his hand.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Also, Myria, if during your attack of the north wall, a stray shot hits the south wall on "accident", I'd like it.
* Chii peers at Darce. 1"Hey, not a bad choice in weapons."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Atlean issue, we're all taught use with a claw in military training."
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is a bad choice when we do not plan on killing. *he notes*
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Let's see...some of this...and that...and fire! *solid energy projectiles showers the base as Madara cuts through the sky!
<Jennifer`> Darce> "You can live through a lot."
<Chii> I can't even use my claws or I'd get sick.
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms go off and enemy soldiers begin to scramble around inside.
* Chii grins widely, then peers toward the gear and chaos. 1"...Show off."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to approach the south wall again
<Marcus`> *Theron just remains silent, knowing full well how to use claws, he stands and moves along with Warren.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *performs a barrel roll in mid air as it swings around, dropping smoke pods.
* Cassandra` moves in behind Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy ship begins to power up for lift off.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the south wall.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Anytime Myria. *he mumbles, sliding up beside Warren*
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> There's the smoke cover for their infiltration...and now... *switches to pulse beams and rakes the perimeter wall, swinging around to turn the South wall into rubble and continuing along the west perimeter.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren runs through the rubble
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy ship's engines flare and soldiers run onboard as it begins to rise
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts, smiling as he moves after Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Darce moves in behind Warren.
* Cassandra` continues into the base.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna moves along quietly, refraining from cursing the fact she's stuck with a sniper rifle instead of her regular guns
* Chii dances along the rubble, still covering the rear. 1"Something wrong, Setsuna?"
<DeathStar> 6* The ship begins to rise. Warren runs through the smoke filled base he works his way toward the ship. The last of the ramps are rising now. He leaps onboard. In order to get on the ship, you need to get on before it takes off completely, or you'll be left behind!
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
* Cassandra` leaps for the ramp!
<DeathStar> 3
<Marcus`> *Theron dashes in and jumps on.
* Chii springs around the crowd and leaps up the ramp.
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<Jennifer`> * Darce leaps for it.
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* The ramp closes
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rises to his feet as the ramp closes.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy soldiers who are in the hanger haven't noticed them yet. Warren runs around and ducks behind a crate.
* Cassandra` moves for cover with Warren.
* Chii slinks along with Warren. 1"Orders and methods from hereon?"
<Jennifer`> * Darce rises, and then rolls behind a large crate as well.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands up and glances around, she slides behind a crate. He checks his pistol, making sure it is on stun.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers begin to move further into the ship. Warren just holds up a finger to signal them to wait
* Cassandra` nods...
<Jennifer`> * Darce stays in his hiding spot, looking around as best he can.
<Marcus`> *Theron waits patiently.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon, only 5 guards are left. Warren signals for the team to knock them out.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> And they are clear...well..mostly... *Madara dives to collect Setsuna*
* Chii moves out when the leftmost isn't looking her way and trails up, slamming the backplate of one of her gloves against the base of his head.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard is hit in the base of the head. He turns around. "OW!"
<DeathStar> 6* The other four guards turn.
<Marcus`> *Theron slips forward and quickly aims to knock out one of the guards with the hilt of his blade, twisting to spinkick another one.
* Chii slams her elbow into his face since it didn't knock him out.
<Jennifer`> * Darce eyes the guards and makes them sleep.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard falls over from the elbow.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans over and fires a stun shot into one's head.
* Cassandra` nods and load her gun with some stun rounds and hits another guard.
<Jennifer`> * Darce tries sleeping someone at least.
* Chii raises her leg high and studies him, if he's not out, she'll round stomp him in the god.
<DeathStar> 6* Darce makes an old guy sleep.
<DeathStar> 6* The last guard runs for the alarm.
* Cassandra` fires at the last guard.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back then aims and fires a stunning shot for the guard running.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard goes down.
<Jennifer`> * Darce shakes his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves out, studying the hanger.
<Chii> Stun rounds. Handy, aren't they?
<Marcus`> *Theron nods to Cass. Then glance at Warren.
* Chii peers at her victim, a bit resentful she doesn't carry such things and did it the old-fashioned way.
<Cassandra`> Mmm-hmmm... *moves out from cover as well*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves to a shuttle, examining it. He places a device on it.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks for surveillance.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a camera in the hanger, alright. Pointed at them.
<Cassandra`> We've been made.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, then moves for the halls, heading for the brig.
<Marcus`> *Theron clears his throat, moving after Warren.
* Cassandra` moves in after Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Darce TKly disconnects it's wires, and moves after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along the hallway. So far it looks like a normal ship with no Dark technology
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches a corner, pressing his back against the wall.
<Jennifer`> * Darce follows suit.
<Marcus`> *Theron slides up by Warren, holding his pistol ready.
* Chii continues covering the rear of the advance. 1"It should be like the last ship, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans arond the corner, spotting two guards. They pause, hearing a voice, and move toward Warren and company
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls back.
* Cassandra` gets ready to take them down...moving under cover.
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes Chii, then looks to Warren, holding his pistol ready to fire towards the corner.
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<DeathStar> 6* The two guards step around the corner and stare at the team.
<Marcus`> *Theron fires at one.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires at the second.
<DeathStar> 6* The two guards drop on the ground with a loud thud
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses, listening for the footsteps of anymore that may have heard the scuffle.
<DeathStar> 6* No sounds of footsteps.
<Jennifer`> * Darce moves his hand and pulls them around the corner.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps around the corner, moving down another hallway now
* Cassandra` follows after Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Darce heads after them.
<Marcus`> *Theron turns, following Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* The team reaches an elevator after a moment. Warren eyes it
<Marcus`> *Theron glances about. Much preferring stairs
* Cassandra` eyes the elevator as well...the enemy of all life.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hits the call button
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator opens and Warren steps on, hitting the brig floor button. The doors are about to close!
<DeathStar> 5

<Marcus`> *Theron steps in
* Cassandra` steps inside
<DeathStar> 3
* Chii steps along inside.
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps in.
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* The doors close.
<DeathStar> 6* It begins to go down
<Marcus`> *Theron wonders what lovely elevator music is playing.
<DeathStar> 6* None.
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator zooms along and the doors open. A guard standing behind a desk looks up, blinking once in surprise
* Cassandra` shoots him with a stun round
<DeathStar> 6* He reaches for the alarm button - but is shot by CAssandra and he falls over
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out, sweeping his gun around
<Marcus`> *Theron steps forward about to fire, then nods to Cass. Stepping out after Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps out, a spike floating by him.
* Cassandra` moves behind the desk.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims his gun down the cell block hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* The desk seems to control all the cell block force fields.
<Marcus`> *Theron aims down the hallway, then begins to slowly walk down it, searching for their friends.
<Cassandra`> Cell block controls are here.
* Chii observes behind the desk for monitors.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts and moves down the hallway himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, there are monitors. 26 of them.
* Chii begins browsing over them for familiar faces and other guards alike.
<Cassandra`> We'll secure this point.
<Jennifer`> * Darce walks after Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Block 5. Marcus is inside. "Waiter."
<Jennifer`> * Darce scans Marcus.
<Chii> Cass, can you deal with the fields? ...I haven't used this junk much. I'll watch the monitors.
<Marcus`> Yo. *he waves, standing there*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Are you the real Marcus?
<Cassandra`> Alright...but I'll wait for Warren's order to open it first.
<Marcus`> I highly doubt I would say yes if I wasn't.
<Marcus`> NRP: No*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, then pulls out a device, activating the chip in his brain.
<Marcus`> GAH! *he stumbles back* You're a motherfucker, you know thaT?
<Jennifer`> * Darce shakes his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks back. "Open Block 5."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "He's real alright."
* Cassandra` opens Block 5
<DeathStar> 6* Warren proceeds onward.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves along as well.
* Marcus` steps out and stretches. "Glad to see you guys."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stops in front of Block 8. Dias.
<Jennifer`> * Darce follows them, looking at Dias, he calmly searches.
<Marcus`> *Dias stands there picking his nose.
<DeathStar> <Warren> What color is my shirt?
<Marcus`> <Dias> Uh? Red?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Open Block 8.
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren continues on.
<Marcus`> *Theron continues with Warren.
* Cassandra` opens Block 8
<DeathStar> 6* Warren examines the other 26 blocks, but sees no Freyja, or Cheryl.
* Chii begins to look anxious.
<Marcus`> *Dias steps out and smacks Marcus on the back. "Told you they would come."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "We're missing some still..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks back, frowning.
<Marcus`> Well I was just saying...
<Marcus`> *Theron frowns, "This is troubling." He moves back towards everyone else.
<Chii> Why Cheryl and oneesan?
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll examine the medical bay. Perhaps they are there.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren heads to the elevator, and hits the call button. But nothing happens.
* Chii keeps an eye on the twenty-six monitors. At least something she's good at.
<Marcus`> *Theron and Dias, stand there. Theron arches a brow when nothing happens.
<Marcus`> I think you broke it, man.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "They have to know we're here by now."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Cassandra`> They would be the ones most likely of scientific interest... elevator is out. *moves to check behind the desk to see if any alerts are active*
<DeathStar> 6* None in the cell block. Doesn't mean there aren't alerts, though
<DeathStar> <Voice on Comm> I see you all managed to make it this far.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks upward.
<Chii> Shouldn't the bond let me-- eh... fuck.
<Marcus`> *Dias glances up, looking around.
<Marcus`> *Theron quirks a brow.
<Chii> I hope it isn't scarface." 6Crosses her arms indignantly.
<DeathStar> <Voice on Comm> If you wait right there, I'll make sure to send you some parting gifts
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts. "Sounds like that second shapeshifter."
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator lights begin to descend. Something's coming.
* Marcus` frowns, and steps back.
<Chii> Cass, is there a field for the elevator doors? A security lock? Might be a good time.
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps back, letting three spikes float into the air, ready to launch.
<Marcus`> *Theron readies his pistol, moving back to get cover.
* Cassandra` checks for one.
<DeathStar> 6* 3 floors awayt.
<DeathStar> 6* There is indeed

<DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors open. A BOMB IS THERE OH MY GOD!
* Chii ducks behind the freaking counter
<DeathStar> 6* Warren throws himself behind the desk
* Cassandra` hits the button to activate
<Marcus`> *Dias and Marcus moves to get around the corner.
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb explodes into the shield!
<Jennifer`> * Darce hops behind the desk.
<Chii> Gah, you bastards. Get off!
<DeathStar> 6* The ship shakes as the elevator is completely demolished
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Thought I landed on something soft."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up to peer at the destroyed elevator. "Good work, Arakawa."
<Chii> Your face'll be soft before I'm done with it
<Marcus`> *Dias glances around the corner. "Well there goes the elevator."
<Jennifer`> * Darce gets off her, "Relax dove."
<Cassandra`> How far up is the medical level?
<DeathStar> <Warren> 9.
* Marcus` steps back around. "Never could be easy."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps past the destroyed shield, looking up the shaft.
* Chii clicks in annoyance and leans over Cassandra. 1"You're the one with the system. Can you find alternate routes? There'd have to be one in an emergency.
* Cassandra` nods and moves over to the now empty shaft and then fires a line up.
<Chii> ...Or not.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches it attach.
<Marcus`> I'm glad i'm in good shape. *he notes with an exhale*
<Cassandra`> We don't have time to find the back door. *starts climbing*
* Chii walks over and taps her fingers against the elevator shaft walling.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs the wire and begins to climb after her.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps forward and glances upward. He then begins to climb after Warren, Dias and Marcus are after him.
<DeathStar> 6* Elevator doors open and guards lean out with rifles, firing at the climbing team.
<Jennifer`> * Darce climbs up next.
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls out his pistol and stop climbing, hanging on with one hand, firing at them with the other.
* Cassandra` fires a stun grenade up at the open elevator door
* Chii leaps into the shaft, using both hands to fling shurikens in team-avoiding paths upward at them, then kicks off the wall and grabs the line to keep from, you know, falling.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hisses as he's shot in the shoulder, slipping slightly.
* Marcus` and Dias just sorta ball up to minimize damage, since they don't have weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* CAssandra takes out two guards. And Theron takes out one. However, there's more elevator doors and more guards. They fire down at the team in a ....
<DeathStar> 6* Left, right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Left PATTERN!

<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is shot and knocked off the line. Warren grabs her hand before she plummets too far.
<Jennifer`> * Darce launches his companion darts at the Guards, three shooting up like bullets.
<DeathStar> 6* Three more guards are knocked out
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts to grab Cass with Warren, attempting to help her back on the line.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining guards prepare another assault! GET REAAADY
* Chii swings off the line and twists, launching two kunai up toward the new open doors, kunai with some of her explosive charges attached, then kicks off the wall and grabs the line again, huffing. 1"This sucks."
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Left, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left

<Marcus`> *Theron fires back, hoping to take down another.
<Jennifer`> * Darce keeps climbing.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining guards are taken out
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, then begins to resume his climbing
* Marcus` , Theron, and Dias all resume climbing.
* Cassandra` resumes climbing
* Chii shimmies up the line, leaping off to peer around on one of the open floors.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii peers around on an open floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the floor with the medical bay; it's doors are still shut.
* Chii apparently sees nothing helpful or hostile, but waits for the others to finish scrambling up since she can climb faster and gets tired waiting.
<Jennifer`> * Darce wraps teh cable around his arm and concentrates on the door, trying to force it open.
<DeathStar> 6* The door valiently battles back
<Marcus`> *Theron attempts to find a place by the doors to grasp onto, then would use his sword to help pry the door open.
<Jennifer`> * Darce keeps trying, straining hard.

<DeathStar> 6* The two finally open the door.
<Marcus`> *Theron exhales slowly. "Save your explosions for something important." He slips inside, sweeping his gun.
* Chii leaps into the shaft and bounces from opposing walls instead of climbing, and attempts to roll onto the medical level floor.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Overexcessive human mechanisms..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leaps off onto the floor with the medical bay. A doctor grabs a gun, firing at them.
<Marcus`> *Theron slides to the right, firing a the doctor.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ducks the shots. The doctor is hit and falls backwards.
<Chii> Don't knock them off. Never know when we might need their help.
* Cassandra` flips herself over on to the medical level floor.
<Marcus`> *Marcus and Dias hope in once that is over.
* Chii scans the rest of the floor for other personnel.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rises again, moving through the medical rooms. At the far end are three guards in front of a medical room. They fire at them.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ducks, taking cover behind doctor like things.
* Chii leans forward and tosses another orb, smoking with white plumes.
<Marcus`> *Theron kicks over a table, firing as he moves to duck behind it.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards fire at the orb before it gets near them.
* Chii blinks as it bursts into a white cloud, then.
<Jennifer`> * Darce climbs in and moves up with the group.
<Chii> Edgy, aren't they?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Marcus` pauses and grabs a metal bedpan, he shifts and tosses it toward's one through the smoke. Since he can only she shadows now.
<Cassandra`> ...I think we've found our likely missing teammates.
<Marcus`> *Theron rises to fire upon one of the shadow.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards throw something back at them.
* Cassandra` fires at the something.
<DeathStar> 6* IT explodes.
* Marcus` and Dias moves back, incase it's a bomb. Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires at shadows himself. She shadows.
* Chii shiels herself with her arms, grumbling as she ducks against the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon the shots stop.
<Cassandra`> ... *looks*
<Chii> Scan for heat, Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* A shot flies at Cassandra's head.
<Marcus`> *Theron makes a sound, as he raises his pistol to try and take aim again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is shot in the head.
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren would be concerned, but she's a cyborg.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks at Cassandra.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans over, firing with his gun
* Chii tosses another kunai, but toward the far left corner, instead of at anything moving, then another to the right corner.
<Marcus`> *Theron fires as well.
<Cassandra`> Sonuva! My hair! *rapid fires with stun rounds*
<DeathStar> 6* The guards are taken out finally.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets to his feet.
* Chii creeps toward and through the smoke. 1"Jackasses."
* Cassandra` moves forward...
<Marcus`> *Theron cautiously moves towards the door they were guarding.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the room, hitting the door open button. It's locked.
<DeathStar> 6* He steps back.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head, then also steps back.
* Marcus` crosses his arms as he watches them work.
* Chii retrieves her kunai since this is an easy set to recover.
<Marcus`> *Dias glances back out the shaft, making sure no one else is coming afte them.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing so far.
<Chii> So, door-opener.
* Chii crosses her arms and peers toward Darce.
<Cassandra`> NRP: AFK
<DeathStar> 6* Warren waits for someone to open it. Everyone volunteers typically.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks at her, "Do I look like a bloody crowbar?"
<Chii> Sure.
<Jennifer`> * Darce sighs and holds out his hand, trying to force the lock.
<DeathStar> 6* The door suddenly explodes
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is knocked back onto side
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Warren. Then jerks, getting knocked back by the explosion.
<Jennifer`> * Darce flies back and slams into a table.
* Chii slides back on her feet and hands. 1"Freakin' figures."
<Marcus`> *Dias jerks around, moving out of the exploding door's path.
<DeathStar> 6* The door comes flying at Chii
* Marcus` slips to the side, waiting to see who steps out of it.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "...Right, the good news is it's open?" *He pulls himself up.
* Chii dodges to the right.
<DeathStar> 6* The door misses
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, getting to his feet. He's glad he stepped back.
<Cassandra`> NRP: Back
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls himself up, dusting off his pants. He glances up to look inside the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside, they would find a seemingly dead looking Freyja. The world mourns her death. Again
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers inside.
<Cassandra`> ...there's one.
<Chii> Eh, oneesan. Cheryl's not here, though..?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Goddamnit... she dead?" *He tries picking up a brainwave*
<Marcus`> She looks all dead. *he notes, tilting his head*
<Marcus`> <Dias> Most dead people look like that. *he nods*
<Marcus`> *Theron steps inside, sweeping his gun around the room incase someone may be hiding.
<DeathStar> 6* The room looks empty of bad guys.
<Chii> She better not be dead. Freakin' waste.
<Marcus`> *Theron lowers his pistol and moves over to check Freyja's pulse.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Wait
<DeathStar> <Warren> What if it's a shapeshifter?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Theron, seeing if he's really willing to get in close to check
<Chii> Oneesan's already a shapeshifter.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ignores Chii.
<Jennifer`> * Darce keeps scanning the... corpse?
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses. Glancing at Warren.
<Chii> Unfortunately if she's dead or unconscious, it won't be much use trying to share empathy with her to see if it's really her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at Theron.
<DeathStar> 6 *Darce doesn't pick up anything either way.
<Marcus`> *Theron turns and fires at her leg. A lethal bullet.
<Chii> H-hey!
<DeathStar> 6* The leg is shot. Blood. Ew.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Chii despite the casualness thus far, bristles in stance slightly.
<Jennifer`> Darce> She's dead, no brian activity, though that might be normal.
<Jennifer`> *brain
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then we move on.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks out
<Jennifer`> * Darce follows him out.
* Chii glares at Darce for whatever reason. 1"She's not the kind that likes your sort of people. I doubt you'd find much even if she were laughing in your face."
* Cassandra` follows warren out.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Hmph. *he frowns and shakes his head, moving to tie off the wound regardless. He's not a monster.*
<DeathStar> 6* The blood does look fresh. Maybe she's alive?
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and checks for a pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* As Theron checks, and finds a pulse, he activates a bomb next to Freyja.
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<Marcus`> *Theron picks her up and dives out.
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb explodes, blowing up only Chii, ironically.
<Chii> Gah!" 6Moves away.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks back at the man who saves a corpse.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren whips around as Chii comes flying out.
<Cassandra`> Now someone is just sick...
* Marcus` shifts to catch her.
<Marcus`> *Theron skids along the floor and checks Freyja as he sits up. "She is alive."
* Marcus` catches Chii and checks her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren inspects Chii. She's only mildly damaged.
* Chii strings curses.
<Marcus`> Well she's alive too. *he notes, standing up*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hrm. Lucky.
<Chii> I sweat to okami if she gets kidnapped one more time I'll break her neck myself!
<Jennifer`> Darce> "So I call her brain dead from now on."
<Chii> Everytime she gets swiped I get beaten, pummeled, blown up..." 6Goes on.
<DeathStar> <Voice on Comm> Well. I suppose typical traps just won't kill you. Well, time to end this game.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up.
<Marcus`> *Theron makes sure the leg wound he inflicted is bandaged up and then lifts Freyja up.
<Chii> Screw you, show your face so I can fuck it up.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Blah blah blagh, bring your ugly face down here so I can do teh rearrangement for you."
<DeathStar> <Voice on Comm> I'll stay on the bridge with my hostage. However, you 'heroes' won't make it here alive.
<DeathStar> 6* The hallway begins to shift, growing black veins
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances around as the walls begin to throb, as if alive.
<Chii> ...What the fuck.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Gorramned Dark Ones."
<Marcus`> <Dias> Cheryl. *he says simply, as if realizing, his fists tighten*
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils launch out at Darce, Dias, Marcus, and CAssandra
* Marcus` attempts to Dodge.
<Marcus`> *Dias attempts to Dodge.
<Jennifer`> * Darce tries to didge.
* Cassandra` dodges
<Jennifer`> *dodge too
<DeathStar> 6* Darce is lightly stabbed because he didged
* Chii throws two charges down the hall, then whips out her gun to shoot them both, acid mists.
<Jennifer`> * Darce grumbles and cuts the tendril away.
<DeathStar> 6* The charges blow up, and do nothing
<Chii> Man I miss the old days.
<DeathStar> 6* More tendrils appear between the team and the elevator. Swirling about like maggots.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch. Getting out of here will not be easy.
<Cassandra`> No...it won't...
<Marcus`> Looks like we'll get to show off our reflexed.
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them, a black vortex appears, expanding toward them. It appears they're caught between tendrils and death
<Marcus`> ...and did I ever mention I have poor reflexes?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes behind them.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps forward, since he was close to the thing behind them.
<Chii> ...I have awesome reflexes, but I'm fashioned female. That does -not- look fun.
<Jennifer`> * Darce eyes the tendreils, then death, "I pick tendtrils."
<Marcus`> <Dias> Looks like we'll have to run for it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everyone. At once. Charge forward.
<DeathStar> <Warren> 1.
<DeathStar> <Warren> 2.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now
* Chii sprints like a bat out of hell
<DeathStar> 6* Warren dashes forward.
* Cassandra` nods and then runs with the group!
<Jennifer`> * Darce charges forward.
* Marcus` , DIas, and THeron Dash forwar.d
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils attack with OPPOSITE POWER
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left

<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is stabbed in the arm by two tendrils, and Darce is really fucked up, impaled several times, and pulled away.
* Chii slides to a stop on the other side next to Cassandra. 1"Hey, you ain't half bad either."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the elevator shaft, leaping out and grabbing the wire.
* Marcus` jerks himself away, making a face, attempting to wrap up his wounds with his shirt.
<Cassandra`> I work out. *leaps to grab ahold of the wire*
<DeathStar> 6* Darce is dragged closer to the black vortex. He's bleeding heavily.
<Chii> You're cybernetic...
<Chii> Um, what about the mindreader?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks back.
<Jennifer`> * Darce tries dragging himself back, pushing tentacles away.
<Marcus`> *Theron hands Freyja to Chii and turns to Darce. "He's too injured..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tchs.
* Chii blinks at Freyja in her arms. 1"I d-don't want h-her..." 6Grows quiet as she stares.
<Cassandra`> Fire at the bases of the tentacles. *fires another line around Darce and pulls*
<Marcus`> *Theron does so.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires at the tendrils, trying to get a path open for Darce so Cass can pull him to safety.
* Marcus` pulls up a pistol he swiped from the doctor(haha) and fires with the others.
<Marcus`> *Dias just moves to work on Marcus' arm since he doesn't use guns.
* Cassandra` pulls!
<Jennifer`> * Darce pulls himself up, growling, taking a bite down of a pill from his bloodied belt.
<DeathStar> 6* A tendril flies out at Darce's head for a fatal blow!
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Jennifer`> * Darce ducks.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendril misses
<Chii> What the fuck's with this hallway, anyway?
* Chii shakes Freyja a bit. 1"Wake up..."
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, under them in the shaft, tendrils launch up, aiming to impale them.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances down
<Jennifer`> * Darce pulls himself with the line and moves to the others, some wounds closing from the pill, but his right arm fucked up bad.
<Marcus`> *Theron widens his eyes and attempts to get out of the way.
* Cassandra` starts pulling herself up and Darce along with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren throws himself into the shaft wall, pressing against it as best as he can
* Chii drags herself and Freyja back against a wall. 1"Incoming!"
<Jennifer`> * Darce leaps aside to the wall.
* Marcus` and Dias both attempt to get the fuck out of the way, even if that means going into the shaft.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I fucking hate Dark Ones."
<Cassandra`> Hold on! *pullsherslef against the wall of the shaft*
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils stab MArcus and Dias? To death?
<Chii> I think the feelings mutual!
<Marcus`> NRP: Well they didn't actually go in!
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus and Dias are still stabbed due to shoddy dodge description
<Marcus`> NRP: Fair enough.
<Chii> Okay, with the wounded and shit, how do we get to the top?
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils retract.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to climb while they have a break
* Marcus` hisses, holding his side, while Dias holds his shoulder and his side.
* Cassandra` resumes climbing.
<Jennifer`> * Darce climbs, grunting with pain as he needs to use his diced up arm.
* Chii grumbles and yanks cord out of her satchels. She winds it under both arms and around her shoulders pushes her back to Freyja and does the same, binding them together.
<Marcus`> *Theron begins climbing. Marcus and Dias do as well, though each of them have a slight pained expression on.
* Chii strains, then moves for the wire, furiously scaling with both arms and legs.
<DeathStar> 6* A new kind of tendril appears, and launches at the team now. GET READY
<DeathStar> 6* LEft, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right

<DeathStar> 6* Everyoen dodges. Thank god. These kind explode if they impale you
<DeathStar> 6* the tendrils retract.
<Cassandra`> How far up?!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren climbs again. "Further."
* Chii shimmies like hell. She's climbing for two and seriously dislikes tentacles, let alone dark tentacles, let alone exploding dark tentacles.
* Cassandra` keeps moving.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron, Dias, and Marcus begin to climb again.
<DeathStar> 6* More tendrils appear and launch up at them!
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Left, Up, Down, Left, Right, up, DOwn, Left

<Cassandra`> Incoming!

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Darce is stabbed again. The tendril epxlodes inside him
<DeathStar> 6* Taking out his right shoulder blade
<DeathStar> 6* Warren whips around, trying to grab Darce incase he falls.
<Jennifer`> * Darce catches himself with his good arm, now short an arm.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts to catch him, urking and almost slipping himself.
<Chii> Fuck, fuck, fuck. Where's the top!?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Darce. Will you live?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Yes."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren climbs again
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I'm reptillian."
<Marcus`> 6* And the three begin climbing again. Theron helping Darce if he needs it.
<Jennifer`> * Darce climbs.
<Marcus`> Wow, I feel dumb. I thought you were a tiger or something.
<DeathStar> 6* More tendrils appear, poised to strike. This looks like it's the final assault wave. Which means the biggest dodge yet!
<Chii> Ah! Shimata!
<Jennifer`> Darce> "We evolved from reptiles, actually."
<DeathStar> 6* Rigt, Left, Right, Left, Up, Down, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left.

<Marcus`> lrlrdurdulrldur
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone dodges the biggest assault!
<Jennifer`> * Darce apparently moves better now that his load is lightened!
<Marcus`> 6* It's because Theron is helping him. Duh.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "The down side is I'm cold blooded."
<DeathStar> 6* The team reaches the top floor.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors are shut tight
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Crowbar coming through..."
<Marcus`> *Theron looks. "Perhaps we should just explode this one. Darce is seriously injured."
<DeathStar> 6* Below them, a black vortex begins to appear and creep up. It seems they only have 10 seconds to open that goddamn door or they all die!!!!!

<DeathStar> 6
<DeathStar> 5
<Marcus`> *Theron, Marcus and Dias all jumps forward to pull it open.
* Cassandra` whips up a shell gun and shoots the door open
<Jennifer`> * Darce smirks, blood dripping out of what was his arm. He glares at the door and forces it open psionically.
<Marcus`> * They don't just kidding.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron, Marcus, and Dias are all blown up by CAssandra
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra blows up only the door, then, since they were just kidding
<Cassandra`> Move! *leaps for the opening*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leaps in
<Marcus`> 6* They leap in now, Theron helping Darce.
* Chii moves onto the floor, panting as she sits with Freyja to her back.
<Jennifer`> * Darce pulls himself in with Theron's help.
* Cassandra` whips her gun up when she lands, ready to shoot.
<DeathStar> 6* The bridge is fairly empty, except for - Cheryl?
<Chii> ...Cheryl!
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts Darce aside, sweeping his gun out. He pauses and eyes Cheryl. Looking for something on her head first.
* Chii yanks on one of the ends of the twine, undoing it and leaving Freyja to rest.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I'm a bloody interrogator not a front linesman... oh look, the Blonde."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there, her head lowered toward the floor. She has nothing on her head, but when she looks up, her eyes are unnatural. She appears to be viewing them strangely. Like enemies.
<Cassandra`> Where's Scarhead?
<Jennifer`> * Darce casually takes a look in her head.
<Marcus`> <Dias> Cheryl? What's up?
<Chii> Eh... Cheryl...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip.
<Marcus`> Oh fuck me. Are you serious?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch. If that's Cheryl, she's in Berserk mode.
* Chii narrows her eyes slightly.
<Marcus`> <Theron> How would we turn it off?
<Chii> I haven't felt anything from that bond stuff for a while.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "If it's not, it's our target."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs a console, and literally rips it up out of the ground, causing it to spark madly. She hurls it at Chii.
<Marcus`> <Dias> ...*he seems like he is getting ready for a fight*
<Chii> Cheryl, we can play later. We need to g-- shimata!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rolls to the side, in case it blows up.
* Chii ducks and slides across the floor, leaping up and swinging out both short blades.
<Jennifer`> * Darce pulls the remains of his coat over his missing arm, which appears to be twitchign oddly.
* Marcus` moves to the side, pulling Dias.
<Cassandra`> Any ideas?! *darts across the bridge*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes in toward the group, whipping out at Cassandra's throat as she darts.
<Marcus`> *Theron begins attempt to move around Cheryl, in a flanking type motion.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We have to take her down.
* Chii reaches over and tries to tangle the whip with one of her blades.
<Chii> Cheryl this isn't the fucking time.
<Jennifer`> * Darce moves to one side, he launches a dart at the whip device she has.
<DeathStar> 6* The electric whip is hardly phased.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips CAssa' throat
<DeathStar> 6* And yanks her into the dart.
<Jennifer`> * Darce stops the Dart before it hits, spining it into the air.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to yank Cassandra around and around, like she were swinging her. All the while the whip damages the cyborg's throat.
* Chii charges up to Cheryl. 1"Damn it, you know I hate this up close shit." She swings a foot for her as she approaches.
<Marcus`> *Theron aims to fire a stunning shot for Cheryl, not wanting to injure her or Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps spinning, then begins to slam Cassandra into things - mainly, into Chii
* Chii whittles off to the right, whee. 1"Gragh!"
* Cassandra` grabs a hold of the ship with ehr hand and then fires an explosive midway on to the whip, detonating it
<Jennifer`> * Darce focuses on the device on her hand, trying to damage it TKly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is forced to deactivate the whip and backflips.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands, sliding along the floor. Her weapon seems to be too strong for TK damage.
<Marcus`> *Dias come flying in, timing it so that he would kick out at Cheryl as she comes upright.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Dias' leg, twists, breaking it.
<DeathStar> 6* She kicks him away toward a wall.
<Marcus`> *Dias grunts, slamming onto the wall and down it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren strafes Cheryl, firing shots. She activates her arm shield, parrying them.
<Jennifer`> * Darce just goes for it, launching a psionic barage at Cheryl's mind, intending to stun her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's mind doesn't seem to be slowed by the barage. Apparantly she isn't using whatever parts can easily just be stunned
<Marcus`> *Theron releases a charged shot for Cheryl's arm shield, hoping to take it out of the equation.
<Jennifer`> "Damn girl's running on the primal parts of her brain, just take her out."
<Jennifer`> Darce>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flips over the shot.
* Chii groans and shifts where she landed after sliding off the wall. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch. I don't think anything can reach her brain. Except perhaps the bond.
* Chii sits up, holding her head. 1"..." 6Stares toward Warren.
* Marcus` stands back, firing stunning shots for Cheryl after what happened to Dias.
* Cassandra` rubs her throat... "...then use...the bond...damn it..." *her voice cracking*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands in a crouch. She lands, then turns her whip back on, slapping it against a console. IT explodes near - Cassandra!
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Chii, try as hard as you can, call out to her."
* Cassandra` leaps away from the blast
<Chii> It's probably ...because I'm stupid. But like I said... I haven't felt anything with that since the beta incident."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit by a few shots.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "The voice in your head that lets your think! CALL OUT WITH IT."
<Marcus`> Well it's good to see she can take stunning shots no problem.
<Chii> Of course she can." 6Bitterly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her body off.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes at Marcus, apparantly locked onto him
<Chii> Our duel ended in stalemate. She's no pushover.
* Cassandra` fires an adhesive shot at Cheryl.
<Marcus`> Oh fuck me. *he gets ready*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps over the shot, as if she knew it were coming in before it did,.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Chii, quit fucking giving excuses and act. You're blocking your own mental patterns with that train of thought."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch. Arakawa. She has you in her target watch memory.
* Chii shakes her head again, whisking off a dull ache, running over the basics, or the lack thereof she was taught by Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands, kicking out at Marcus stomach.
<Cassandra`> I'm just a distraction right now! Get the bond girl working!
<Jennifer`> Darce> "She's started."
<DeathStar> <Warren> She can hold up to three of us in her memory.
<Chii> Hey, I was told to trust her and touch. Does she look cuddly?
* Marcus` pulls up his arms to catch the kick, grunting as he slides back, he attempts to lock his arms and toss her, but the kick might be too much for him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips at his face before he can do such a thing
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Oh god girl. Did she drop the link or not?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> Stop being a child and do something. *He scolds Chii*
<Marcus`> *Marcus twists back, attempt to jump back.
* Chii reaches back and pulls something out of her satchel. She takes a drink, then puts it away and looks upward with a sigh as Theron chastises her.
* Cassandra` changes targets and fires at the consoles behind Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists her arm, whipping out at Marcus' leg, attempting to get him as he jumps.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is knocked forward by the explosion. Apparantly she didn't have a console in her memory watch
* Cassandra` then fires at Cheryl with her off balance.
* Marcus` lands and kicks off, attempts to shove his elbow into Cheryl's gut as she's knocked forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit by shot, then is his elbowed. She falls to her knee.
<Marcus`> *Theron comes in with a knee towards the side of her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Theron's knee with her hand.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts his other leg forward to hit her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires at Cheryl.
* Chii irritatedly stares at Cheryl and attempts to exchange thoughts. She's at least practiced doing that with Freyja for god knows how long, though with Cheryl it was resistive and a bit more difficult.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl backflips into the air above Theron.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "You're thinking too hard. Just call out in your mind, you're trying to wake her up, not have a dinner party."
<Marcus`> *Theron tries to adjust, but he is indeed in air.
<Chii> Shut the fuck up you distracting gnat.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would get a burst of strange thoughtS: apparantly, she's an enemy. They're all enemies. Enemies that will be eliminated.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands behind Theron, then dashes at Chii.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch. She's going after Chii.
* Cassandra` aims and fires at some more consoles off to Cheryl's side.
<Jennifer`> * Darce seems slightly unfocused, he launches a dart at Cheryl's feet, it explodes.
<Marcus`> *Theron lands and twists dashing after Cheryl. He may be faster.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is knocked to the side by an exploding console. The entire ship shudders.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron is hit by the epxlosion, too, then
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls along the floor.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Try harder runt."
* Chii reels visibly, holy. She blinks a few times before she actually manages to focus on Cheryl charging her. She responds by sending back the memories of their spar-- both as information to process and something in common. The spar was serious but friendly before and after.
<Marcus`> *Theron is knocked back, sliding along the floor. Oops
<Chii> Yeah, I know that feeling. Lived that way a long, long time.
* Cassandra` then aims and fires shots into Cheryl with her downed again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up her shields to take the shots, but it explodes
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires stun shots
<DeathStar> 6* The ship shudders again
* Marcus` aims and fires at least 5 or more stun shots towards Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl attempts to dodge, but can't dodge them all. She's hit again and stumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains and falls face first
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls himself up, aiming at Cheryl cautiously.
<Cassandra`> ...ok...how long is this thing going to stay in the air?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren approaches Cheryl, aioming at her. Chii can tell that Cheryl is out now
<Chii> Stop, Warren.
<Chii> It's enough.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I hate that damn Dragoon programming
<Marcus`> *Theron then turns and attempts to find the flight controls, maybe he can keep this thing in the air.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the burning consoles, and moves to the viewport. It would appear they are flying toward the ocean.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his comm. "Katrina. It's time."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Well if I was a shaoeshifting villian, I'd be gone by now."
* Chii shakes her head and stands up, crossing her arms. She peers as Cheryl falls over and tries more direct thoughts, trying to push the impression of not everyone being enemies. Cheryl said herself she'd be her friend and she'll hold her to it. She moves over in the meantime and kneels by her. 1"...Not seeing red anymore, right?"
<Cassandra`> Welll...good news is...we're going to take this ship out of the equation...
<Marcus`> Probably so we could die at sea.
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle flies, firing at the bridge. Warren leaps back as the viewport is destroyed, and wind tries to suck them out. The shuttle flies up, lowering a ramp for them.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Bad news is. *He pauses*
<Cassandra`> Let's pull out!
* Chii kneels and cluches at Cheryl and the floor. 1"...So that was a remote earlier."
<Jennifer`> * Darce holds onto a console during the initial suck, then looks at the ramp, he runs for it and hops on.
* Marcus` helps Dias move to get onto the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren runs out and leaps onto it
<Cassandra`> Move, move move! *moves for the shuttle ramp herself*
<Chii> Theron, can you grab oneesan?" 6Gets ahold of Cheryl.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves over and lifts CHeryl up. "Attend to your sister, she is lighter." He says with a nod, moving to get on the shuttler.
<Marcus`> NRP: -r.
<Chii> ...Thanks.
<Jennifer`> * Darce sits down and closes his eyes, pulling out another pill and downing, it. "Time for a nap while I split tails..."
* Chii sprints back and ties the straps again and strains to dart across to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii is suddenly impaled by a sword.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy ship shudders, getting closer to impacting into the ocean
<Marcus`> *Theron places Cheryl down and turns to see Chii impaled by a sword, he widens his eyes, pulling his own sword out.
<Chii> Gh! Agh!
* Cassandra` takes aim for the swordwielder...
<DeathStar> 6* The sword vanishes. There appears to be no one there
<DeathStar> 6* Warren whips back to see what's happening
* Chii drifts forward and falls to a knee... Freyja's much heaving now.
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja is suddenly kicked across the slanting bridge.
<Marcus`> *Theron jumps back across the gap, holding his sword up. "Show yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* A round object lands in the shuttle. Warren looks down at a grenade.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "What the... hell...?"
* Chii turns and eyes widly, now much in a feral mode and reaching for any type of presence, sound, pressure.
<DeathStar> 6* The loud noises of the ship crashing, the wind blowing in, and fire makes it impossible to hear their enemy
* Cassandra` grabs the grenade and tosses it out!
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade flies out and explodes, rocking the shuttle. Warren grabs the controls, forced to fly the shuttle away from the crashing ship
<DeathStar> 6* A sword appears, slashing out at the back of Theron's neck. Will someone warn him?
<Cassandra`> Theron!
<Chii> Theron, MOVE!
<Marcus`> *Theron glances back, making a tch sound, he sees the sword and parries.
<Cassandra`> Hold on! *loads a shell and then fires, spraying dye all over*
* Chii reaches back into her satchel, pulling out another bomb object, throwing it straight into the floor, blowing a fine mist, some red with her blood across the bridge thanks to the windsweep. She eyes to see anything disturbing its path
<DeathStar> 6* The two sword parries. Theron is hit by dye, but so is...Theron?
<DeathStar> 6* The other Theron stares at Chii, smiling at him.
<DeathStar> (Theron
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...interesting. *he says simply, kicking out to get some distance*
<DeathStar> 6* The other Theron leaps back, mocking the real Theron perfectly
<DeathStar> <computer> Warning. Impact in 1 minute.
<Cassandra`> ...stupid mindreader had to dope himself now?!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren circles around with the shuttle, trying to get back into the bridge so the others can escape
<Marcus`> *Theron holds his sword ready, then moves in for another slash.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron spins his sword elegantly. "An opponent I can look forward to."
<DeathStar> 6* Theron parries.
<DeathStar> 6* He counter slashes at Theron's leg.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I always said that I would be my greatest enemy. *he notes, shifting back, then hopping forward for another slash*
<DeathStar> 6* Theron rolls to the side of Theron, spinning around and slashing at his side.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy ship shudders again, a wing breaking off
<DeathStar> <Theron> It is like looking into a mirror.
* Chii snarls slightly, and pulls out one gun, holding her wound with the other.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren brings the shuttle up to the bridge again
<Marcus`> *Theron parries and attempts to spin kick, attempting to get his back towards the others. "Perhaps."
<Chii> I can... shoot this one, right? No complaints?
<DeathStar> 6* Theron steps back, saluting with his sword. "I think it is time we made our escape, Chii."
<Chii> Screw you.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Focus on getting yourself and your sister onto the the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Theron> The imposter is correct.
* Chii fires at the Theron who was too lazy to mirror the whole phrase.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I shall not play this game. Not when lives are on the line.
* Cassandra` then shrugs and shoots stun blasts at both of them.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron is hit and hits the ground
* Chii then sets the gun away and moves for Freyja
<Marcus`> *Theron lowers his sword and steps over towards CHii and Freyja.
<Chii> Only Theron has the patience for that kind of formality in this kind of situation.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cassandra. We need the fake Theron for study
<DeathStar> <Computer> 30 seconds until impact.
* Chii grunts and tries to lift Freyja back onto her back, but a sword wound through her side nearing center makes it pretty difficult.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps forward then clubs Chii over the back of the head with the hilt of his sword. "Hmph."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tries to keep the shuttle steady, but he's not a real pilot, and they're getting dangerously close to that ocean
* Cassandra` fires a line to wrap around Chii and Freyja both since Chii is holding Freyja up and then hauls them in.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's line misses due to 'Theron' hitting chii
* Cassandra` then fires a line around the Theron still moving.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head, then readies his sword.
* Chii is sure to stab him in the foot on the way down, but it's just a shuriken so it's shallow. She just doesn't like falling without the last word or something.
* Cassandra` sends some serious voltage right through the line.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Dear me. *he says before he is shocked unconcious*
<DeathStar> 6* The fake Theron turns back into the second shapeshifter
<DeathStar> <Computer> 15 secodns until impact.
<Marcus`> *Theron, the real one, stands and moves forward to grab CHii and Freyja, grunting as he lift them up and dives into the shuttle.
* Cassandra` keeps herself secure on a line hooked to the shuttle....secures the Theron line to the shuttle...then leaps at Chii and freyja, grabbing ahold of them.
<Cassandra`> LIFT OFF!
<DeathStar> <Warren> I want that fake!
* Chii curses profusely like she usually does when mad, injured or generally pissy. 1"..." 6Stares at Theron. The real one.
<DeathStar> <Computer> 5 seconds until impact.'
* Chii holds up her hand. A wire.
<Chii> Reel him in, then. Fucker.
<Marcus`> *Theron allows Cass to do it, since he was shot and all. He attempts to get himself onto the shuttle regardless.
<DeathStar> 6* The ocean is getting bigger and bigger. Warren appears intent on crashing them into the ocean if he has to do so
<DeathStar> <Computer> 4 seconds until impact
<Jennifer`> * Darce grabs, helping pull the fake into the shuttle.
<Marcus`> *Marcus moves to pulls the fake THeron in.
<DeathStar> <Computer> 3 seconds until impact
<Marcus`> *Dias even helps and he's got a broke'd leg!
* Cassandra` tosses Chii and Freyja at the shuttle, grabs the fake to expedite it and leaps for the shuttle herself.
* Chii huffs indignantly. She lined his foot with her wire-- the shuriken just an anchor.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, satisfied, and flies upward as the huge ship crashes into the ocean, causing a massive explosion of water that hits their shuttle, sending them spinning
<Cassandra`> ...have to do this the hard way...
<Marcus`> *Theron clutches a seat. Marcus also a seat, Dias clutches Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns. He isn't a pilot, dammit
<Chii> If we die, I have to say
<DeathStar> 6* The shapeshifter lays there.
<Chii> Theron, I'm sorry man. You're awesome, but apparently I don't know you very well. Okami deshou ka.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I can... fly with one hand... Warren."
<Marcus`> *Theron breathes heavily, he would assist Warren, but he can't seem to move. "...it is fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren studies the shuttle finally. However, a massive tendril the size of their shuttle flies upward at them.
* Cassandra` fires an explosive shell at the tendril underarm.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears the dying ship is pissed
<DeathStar> 6* The shell does - nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns and attempts to roll them out of the way.
<Chii> Oh man. It just doesn't know when to give up!
* Marcus` stands up. "Let's hope you can catch me." He gets ready to jump out and use the absorbtion thing if Warren can't make it.
* Chii thoughtfully considers. 1"Like me."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, sadly, won't make it.
<Chii> /me blinks. "
* Cassandra` focuses on wrapping her line around the shapeshifter just in case...
* Marcus` clenches his fist, his arm glowing a dark aura, he dives out of the shuttle and plummets towards the spike, extending his arm out towards it.
<Chii> Marcus?" 6She flings her left hand and sends a loop of the wire for Marcus' leaving foot. Then rapidly looses it before she gets yanked.
<Marcus`> <Dias> ...even i'm not dumb enough to jump without attaching a line.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus punches the tendril, and a flare of evil light goes off, and the tendril shatters like glass.
<Chii> Glad I'm awake. Warren catch him? With the shuttle?
* Marcus` goes into freefall. He coughs. "Fuck me."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts* Pull him back up. I'm not good enough to fly down and get him
* Chii flings the other end of the wire around the pilot chair and loops it, then lets go of the wire lest she get cut or maimed.
* Marcus` is then caught by the wire, and makes and off noise, apparently his foot didn't like that.
<Marcus`> NRP: odd*
<Chii> You might want to drop the shuttle somewhat or his foo--..
* Chii listens intently. 1"Eh."
<Cassandra`> Probably just broke his ankle.
* Chii waves her hand. 1"Yeah. Never mind."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, the shapeshifter locked in a "cell". He watches a monitor of the pacing shape shifter.
<Cassandra`> What are we going to do...dissect it?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in medical, recovering from the stun shots.
<Chii> <Freyja> ... I would like that.
<Marcus`> *Dias is all doing Dias things with a broken foot.
* Chii sits beside Cheryl, sighing.
<Marcus`> NRP: Leg I meant.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. I plan to run tests on it. And examine it. Then I'll dissect it.
<Chii> <Freyja> May I help?" 6She smiles sweetly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just eyes Freyja.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
* Jennifer` sneaks over, wanting to see the freakish creature.
* Marcus` sits in medical, he just got his foot fixed up. He sighs. "It wasn't what I had in mind, but thanks Chii."
<Marcus`> *Theron is patching his gunshot wounds up.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies the monitor herself, apparantly fascinated. "I still get no emotions from it."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *thwaps Jennifer on the back of the head with a large paper fan*
* Chii peers at Marcus, nodding slowly. 1"...All I could think of on short notice."
<Chii> Good thing I carry around a lot of worthless junk so I can do that.
<Marcus`> Good thing indeed. *He smiles and stands, grabbing a crutch, then hobbles out.
* Chii gazes back toward Cheryl with a glum expression.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there, brooding and mad.
<Chii> 6Freyja hovers in the air, favoring that on account of her leg wound. She's probably a sissy.
<Chii> <Freyja> What? Cutting him up would be fun.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts and moves for his office. He'll do his experiments later, when people aren't hovering about
* Jennifer` holds her head and pouts, and follows after Warren.
<Marcus`> <Theron> It seems that mission was perhaps one of our worst. *he says after he finishes, looking to Cheryl and Chii*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Chii> <Chii> Eh. It worked out.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Indeed, but I must say. I did not enjoy it like I normally do.
* Chii leans in on Cheryl, peering intently. 1"... Yeah, sorry about shooting you three times. Burstfire and all."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks along. He came out of this mission pretty good - only some damage to his shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You did what you have to do
<Chii> Oh, I meant Theron. I didn't shoot you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I meant Theron.
<Chii> Your mods worked great. 1"Thumbs up.
<Cassandra`> Hey, Theron...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets out of bed finally, checks her body once, and walks out
<Chii> Hey, Cheryl. Before you run off...
<Marcus`> <Theron> It was only unfortunate that the shapeshifter was a better me. *he pauses and tilts his head at Cass* Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops but doesn't look back.
<Cassandra`> I was about to say that.
<Chii> Can we share a drink? I'd ...like to learn a little more. I can't be afraid of that forever.
<Cassandra`> Of course....that was the only reason we were able to figure out which was which...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Another time. I want to be alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out.
* Chii huffs and leans against the vacated bed. 1"...Damn. Still seeing red."
<Marcus`> <Theron> I would have thought it was the fact that he had dye on his back. *he notes to Cass with a slight smile*
<Chii> Or maybe it's pink in this case." 6Pauses. 1"Nah. Not pink.."
* Cassandra` pats you on the back.
<Cassandra`> So do you.
* Jennifer` walks behind her dad, staring at his shoulder.
<Jennifer`> * Darce is asleep in medical, a towel over his missing arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl returns to the hanger to get a drink and brood like only Cheryl can do
<Marcus`> <Theron> Most fascinating.
<Chii> 6Freyja stares at the doppleganger with a perturbed look after Warren and Jennifer amble off. 1"..." 6She peers at Katrina. 1"...This reminds me. We have some catching up to do."
<Marcus`> <Theron> And will you be alright? You seemed to have taken much more damage than me.
<Cassandra`> But...you could be stunned...the shapeshifters are more resistant.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Freyja. "We do?"
<Cassandra`> Me? I'll be fine.
<Marcus`> <Theron> The life of a cyborg. I must say that I am quite jealous. *he nods his head, smiling*
* Chii crosses her arms, using the bed like a recliner. She looks utterly annoyed-- as usual-- but fiddles around with the thought of 'we're friends,' though not intending purposely to do much with the bond. Cheryl did want to be alone.
<Chii> <Freyja> ...Well, we never did talk much since I returned. I'm curious about things, but it's... not that important. I'm not feeling well.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Another time, I guess. 6* She smiles at Freyja, and moves to step out herself now.
<Chii> 6Freyja glares at the monitor. 1"..Poisoned and dealing with this bullshit. Such a nuissance."
* Marcus` crutches down the hallway, he glances up as Kat steps out into it. "Hey Darlin." He smiles towards her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Marcus.
<Marcus`> *SPoC is around doing military things.
<Chii> I wonder where Billy's been.
<Cassandra`> Well, your blue girl did some stuff right on this body.
<Jennifer`> "So everyone made it back?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Marcus` smiles slightly. "Bad day for me, eh? Got captured and had my foot...broken or something."
<Jennifer`> "That's good..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So I heard. 6* She studies him. "But you seem high spirited."
<Marcus`> <Theron> I do hope her quality of work is not lacking.
<Jennifer`> "It was quiet here. No problems."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Marcus`> We all managed to survive, and we even catpured one of those things. I think that makes it a good day.
<Marcus`> NRP: Captured*
<Jennifer`> "Are you okay?"
<Cassandra`> Well...some of her ideas are... ...different.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Indeed they are. But I was always told that a genius never seems to do things the normal way. Let us hope it is true in her case. *He smiles again, apparently that is his way of joking*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, that's true.
<Marcus`> So how've you been? Haven't really got to talk to you in the last little bit.
* Jennifer` tilts her head, he's less wordy then he has been of late.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm good, I guess.
<Jennifer`> "I'll.... go train now."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ... grunts.
<Marcus`> You guess? *he tilts his head*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess. 6* She smiles slightly.
* Jennifer` sighs and breaks off from following him, wandering down the hallway.
<Marcus`> That's better than being bad...I guess. *he smiles back* So I was wondering something.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What?
<Marcus`> Dias said you were good with swords, and I never really believed him until I saw you kick his ass. I was wondering if you could give me some pointers sometime.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not that good with swords, really.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm competent and can handle my own, but I can't teach
* Chii spies on Katrina and Marcus, having snuck out of the medical bay
<Marcus`> Ah, ok. That's a shame then. *he frowns slightly* Oh well, I guess i'll just have to figure it out on my own.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure you'll do fine
* Marcus` nods slightly and then pauses. "Hey, Kat. If ever you want to get together and have dinner or something, well i'd love too. And it doesn't have to be a date or anything, I mean...friends eat dinner, right?"
* Jennifer` stumbles into Marcus and Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses herself now, but is interrupted by an apparantly klutz ball Jennifer
* Jennifer` blinks and looks up at them, "Ummm... sorry, lost my head there a minute..."
* Marcus` glances at Jennifer, then Kat.
* Chii runs out, grabs Jennifer, and kidnaps her to the shadows.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrnia stares at Chii now.
* Marcus` just coughs. "Right...well just give it some thought. No pressure, right?" He smiles at her and begins to hobble away.
* Jennifer` eeeps.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, and walks off, looking annoyed now.
<Jennifer`> "M-Miss Chii..."
<Marcus`> *Theron sneezes. "Hmm. Interesting."
<Chii> Yes?
<Cassandra`> What?
<Marcus`> <Theron> I have not sneezed in quite some time.
<Cassandra`> Ok..
<Jennifer`> "Where are we?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps I am catching a cold. I will see you later, Cassie. *he bows slightly to her, and walks off*
* Chii clicks on the light. It's room 666.

Session Close: Tue Jan 15 00:00:00 2008


Session Start: Tue Jan 15 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #taw
* Marcus` peeks in at Dias. "What's up?"
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs his bottle of water and shuts the fridge. He turns to leave then looks at Marcus. 1"Ho."
<Marcus`> I'm offended. *he says with a neutral face*
<SPoC> <Dias> You would be. 6He opens the bottle of water using his teeth. "Dude, a broken leg sucks."
<Marcus`> Yeah, I fell for you, man.
<Marcus`> NRP: feel*
<Kit> NRP: Either works.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to the hallway, using the crutch. 1"Atleast you don't have a crutch. They get in the way man."
* Marcus` laughs. "I really want to kick it out from you. But that's mean. And i'm supposed to be a nice guy.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is in her room, doing her work.
<SPoC> <Dias> And I really want to kick you in the shin but than I'd fall.
<Marcus`> Yeah, my foot hurts. *he notes* It's hard to do my sexy walk with a hurt foot.
<SPoC> You had a sexy foot?
<Marcus`> No. My walk was sexy.
<SPoC> NRP: Dias.
<Kit> 6Freyja looks up, then shakes her head and moves away from 'the interrogation room' and ambles down the hallway for Katrina's room, eventually knocking if unhindered.
<SPoC> <Dias> I see. That's news to me.
* Ariel has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Marcus`> Oh screw you. *he tilts his head* Let's go bug Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jots something in her notebook. "Enter."
<SPoC> <Dias> I wonder if I can get her to feel bad. 6He smirks and limps out int othe hallway.
<Kit> 6Chii leans forward and punches a bag, collapses her arm, striking it with her elbow, then spins and slams her other elbow into it, each time knocking it successively back a bit more, she finishes by springing and slaming her knee, then extending and heel striking it up into the ceiling.
<Marcus`> I doubt it. But it could be funny. *he hobbles after him*
<Kit> 6Freyja, slides Katrina's door open, adjusts her berret and enters, closing the door. 1"Hee. Still so strange."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Freyja, shifting in her seat. "Hello, Freyja."
<Kit> 6Freyja finishes up her jollies over using a door instead of blinking. 1"Hi, Katrina McCormick. How've you been?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm okay. And you?
<Kit> 6Chii leans on one foot to the side and allows the back to swing past, then carts forward, slamming it twice on its return with her feet, effectively moving forward out of its arc range. She lazily spins and sits down, huffing.
<SPoC> <Dias> I just hope she doesn't kick my crutch out from under me.
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmm, I'm feeling skeptical.
<Marcus`> Oh god I hope she does. *he steps into the hanger, glancing around*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. Why?
<Kit> <Freyja> Because it's hard to believe someone who isn't being fully honest who normally is so full of life with expression.
<Kit> 6Freyja puts a hand on the hip and angles her legs to stand. Something she probably adopted hanging out with other female 'officers.' 1"What's up?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I've just doing some work. 6* She motions at the desk, playing a poker face right now. "And you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't acknowledge them; probably doesn't know it's them, since she's half under a shuttle wing.
<SPoC> 6Dias steps in behind Marcus. He leans forward on his crutch. 1"I dare you to scare her."
* Marcus` scoffs. "Yeah right."
<SPoC> <Dias> Wuss. 6He limps over to the shuttle now
<Marcus`> That's right. *he nods proudly*
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmm, I wanted to catch up, as I said. But if you're ever the workhorse sort, I suppose I can let you entertain yourself...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans back in her chair. "Well, if there's something you want to catch up on, I can, of course, spare the time. After all. We know each other pretty intimately." 6* She pats her bed with a hand
<Kit> 6Freyja grins widely and moves over, sitting down delicately. 1"Wouldn't you know you're my one and only?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just smiles at that. "Is that so?"
<Kit> <Freyja> No fun at all.
* Marcus` kneels down beside Cheryl. "Hey."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I've been accused of that.
<Kit> 6Freyja jerks a thumb at herself. 1"By the old manner of things, I'm a shrine maiden."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses in her work, then speaks without sliding out. "Yeah?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Shrine. Maiden. Maiden. Hee.
<Marcus`> Uh. Hi.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Yo.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ahoy. 6He leans over his crouch.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at Freyja as she makes her joke. "You're an interesting one."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl decides to roll out from under the wing. IT would be rude otherwise. She sits up, grabbing a rag and wiping her hands.
* Marcus` sits down. "We're injured and bored. So we decided to come find out what you were up too."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pretty obvious.
<Kit> <Freyja> Not really, but the truth can be dressed up nicely from time to time. Right? My dresses are a good example.
<Angela> * Jennifer steps into the room and walks up to Kat, looking at her and Freyja, a fresh bruise on her face, though she doesn't seem to mind.
<Marcus`> Next time we'll make it more interesting.
<SPoC> <Dias> All I know is I want a rematch. I call shenanigans.
<Kit> 6Chii totally yawns in the training room where Jennifer isn't walking in on places with open doors.
<Marcus`> Shenanigans?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Rematch?
<SPoC> <Dias> After my leg becomes unbroken of course.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up, putting her back to Dias. "Don't be stupid."
<Marcus`> I still love how our only real medic flew off to her home planet.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'd hate for you to be at a disadvantage. 6He smiles cockily.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Freyja quietly. "Hm. I suppose that's true."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *looks at Dias* I could have killed you, you moron. This isn't a joke.
<Angela> * Jennifer waits at the door it seems, and knocks gently.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks pissed.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes Cheryl then just waves his hand. 1"And so could any other person I step up against."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises a brow. "Busy day. Enter."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She throws down a rag and moves over to splash water on her face.
<Angela> * Jennifer steps in, smiling a little, "Hiya... Miss McCormick?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Jennifer.
<Marcus`> In all honestly Cheryl, it could have been anyone of us. They just chose you because you're stronger dealing with multiple enemies.
<SPoC> <Dias> 'Cept Marcus. 6He follows his gaze on Cheryl. 1"Look, we all have our bad days. I could've totally killed Theron, Cass and Freyja when that stone did whatever it did to us. But I didn't."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, it wasn't you two, okay? It was me. And I don't find it fucking funny
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to look at them, still angry.
<Marcus`> Are we laughing? *he arches a brow*
<SPoC> 6Dias locks his eyes on Cheryl. He hobbles over to her. Then drops the crutch and hugs her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... W-What the hell are you doing?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at him, looking freaked.
<SPoC> 6Dias let's go and awkwardly tries to pick up his crutch. 1"Hugging you duh."
<Marcus`> I would too. But i'm too lazy to get up. *he gives her a lopsided grin*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You two are freaks. I'm dirty and I smell.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks up his crutch with her foot.
<Marcus`> Dias smells all the time.
* Angela has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Kit> <Chii> No argument on the freaks part, but they have the right idea." 6Peers in from the doorway.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances back at Freyja as Jennifer tunes out
<SPoC> <Dias> And I'm a freak and stupid. 6He catches it with his hand, quickly using it to lean against. 1"And I smell damn good."
<Marcus`> Once a month when you shower.
<SPoC> <Dias> I shower every day you twit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl adjusts her greasy outfit. Her hair looks like it might have some things in it as well.
<Marcus`> Sure, sure. *he waves a hand, then slowly pulls himself up to his feet*
* Angela|FightingCrime has joined #taw
<SPoC> <Dias> Don't make me kick your ass.

* Marcus` laughs. "Yeah. Ok. Like you kicked Cheryl's ass. Right? Mr. Rush in and get your leg broken."
<Kit> <Freyja> So come on, Kat. I'm not dressed up, you don't have to dress anything up for me. Seeing through illusions and schemes is my play, right? I may have left Chii to you, but I think Chii left me to you as well. Everyone vents on you, why don't you tell me what's going on with you? One-sided affairs aren't fair."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. She doesn't like being reminded.
<Kit> 6Freyja then smiles at Jennifer, whom only hears the ringing of a bell instead of that whole line.
<SPoC> <Dias> My stance was off a step. 6He hmpfs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina cups her hands together, then peers at Jennifer. "What can I help you with, Jen?"
<Marcus`> I'll be nice enough to say that I did notice that. *he nods slightly* I think it came from not wanting to do it though.
<Jennifer`> Jennifer> "I was looking for some... advice..." *she scuffs her boot nervously*
<Kit> <Chii> I don't think anyone did.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> About? 6* She looks concerned.
<SPoC> <Dias> Pscht, I wanted to do it. I couldn't let anyone else screw up and actually hurt her.
<Kit> 6Freyja crosses her legs and cups her hands before her, mimicing Katrina's poise. She listens as well, smiling sweetly at Jennifer.
<Kit> 6Chii squints at Dias skeptically. 1"...So you screwed up instead?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs. She twitches a bit as she stands there, looking for an escape route.
<Marcus`> Fair enough. *he nods, then glances at Cheryl* So. How's it coming along? *he changes the subject for her, motioning towards the shuttle*
<SPoC> <Dias> Obviously. Look it's beside the point. 6He just waves his free hand about
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, it's fine. I was just fine tuning it and looking for homing devices. 6* She says quickly, capitalizing on the opening.
<Jennifer`> Jennifer> "Stuff ummm... Dad would probably lose it trying to explain."
<Marcus`> You find any?
<Kit> 6Chii studies Cheryl three different ways while the two speak with her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh. That kind fo stuff. 6* She pats a seat next to Freyja on the bed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<SPoC> <Dias> Wouldn't it be kind of late to find them now? 6He scratches his head as he looks at Cheryl again.
<Marcus`> Hmph. You would think they would be smart enough to keep tracking devices on their stuff.
<SPoC> <Dias> What if it's on the shapeshifter?
<SPoC> <Dias> Like in those spy movies.
<Marcus`> We'll be getting company if a few days then.
<Jennifer`> * Jennifer walks over and takes a seat.
<SPoC> <Dias> I hope I'm healed fully by than. I hate standing by while a good fight goe son.
<Marcus`> I think i've only got a few days left of healing. Maybe we can sneak in Myria's room and find some super heal all thing?
<SPoC> As long as they're not color coded.
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<Marcus`> We would just give you all of them and see what happened.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. What exactly would you like to know?
* Marcus` glances at Cheryl.
<SPoC> <Dias> What if it has side effects? You know...6He makes qoutes with his fingers. "Side effects."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is still there; just silent.
<Marcus`> A small price to pay for a good fight. Right? *he glances back at Dias*
<Jennifer`> Jennifer> "I-I ummm... well... that is... sometimes when I wake up in the morning..." *she looks down*
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't know about that.
<Marcus`> Right, right. So any idea why Theron and Myria ran off like that? *he glances around to anyone*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmhm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts like Warren would
<Jennifer`> Jennifer> "K-KNow what I mean?"
<SPoC> <Dias> God I could use a drink. 6He sighs, slumping over his crutch even more now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think I have a good idea. 6* She glances at Freyja.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Really? Hold on
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes into the shuttle.
* Marcus` widens his eyes and follows her. "You have booze?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls out two huge bottles of rocket fuel.
<SPoC> <Dias> It's Cheryl. Why wouldn't she. 6He holds his hand out.
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl always has a stash.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives him one bottle, then opens the second and drinks from it directly.
* Marcus` stares. "I..." He seems to get a tear of happiness. "I just didn't think she would share with us."
<Jennifer`> Jennifer> "I-It's freaking me out a little... it's normal right?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course, sweetie.
<Marcus`> *Marcus grabs the bottle from Dias. "Here's to two months sober." He takes a swig, and makes a face.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats her lap, and then begins to explain what it all means.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes the bottle longily and goes to drink it when Marcus grabs it. 1"Hey!"
<Jennifer`> * Jennifer slips into it a listens intently.
<Kit> 6Freyja gazes at Katrina, wondering why she got the glance, but continues to smile. She snaps her fingers and becomes a seven-year old version of herself.
* Marcus` extends it out to Dias, apparently he doesn't drink this strong of a drink.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has downed half the bottle. Fatal for humans.
<SPoC> 6Dias jacks it back and stares at it. 1"And I was so hoping for my 3rd Token." 6He takes a deep pull from it.
<Kit> <Chii> It is okay if I replaced that with vinegar, right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down in a seat.
<SPoC> 6Dias just snorts himself, knowing full well this isn't vinegar.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Does that explain everything?
* Marcus` takes the bottle back and takes another swig. "Dear god. I miss my girly drinks."
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, you want midori, then?
<SPoC> <Dias> Slow down their princess. This stuff'll put hair on your chest." 6He plops down beside Cheryl.
<Jennifer`> * Jennifer nods, "Yeah I think it does..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there, looking drunk. "Shyeah. My chest is bare and beautiful."
* Marcus` drops his head back, reaching it out towards Dias. "I don't believe you." He notes blandly, then pauses and glances at Cheryl. "...Hm."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Any other questions?
<Kit> 6Freyja kicks her feet between the two-- in a mini military uniform.
<SPoC> <Dias> I was making a wolf reference. 6He looks over at Cheryl. He seems to be very relaxed for once.
<Marcus`> Jesus. I haven't wolf'd out in ages. I wonder if I can even do it.
<SPoC> 6Dias takes it and takes another sip, coughing.
<Jennifer`> Jennifer> "Umm... yeah..."
<Jennifer`> * Jennifer looks nervous.
<SPoC> <Dias> If ya do, let me know so I can put some news paper down for you.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's okay. You can ask.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works on the second half, despite the dangers it might pose. She IS a Dragoon.
<Kit> 6Freyja nudges Jennifer. 1"Oneesan, yoo kin tell us anythin'!"
<Jennifer`> Jennifer> "Some of the others have been showing me how to clean up but... could you show me some too? I don't like it when people say I look ummm..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What are you talking about? You look perfectly fine
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh, that's all, nyaha.
<SPoC> 6Dias holds the bottle out to Marcus
<Kit> 6Freyja poomfs back to normal. 1"Here I thought it'd be something embarassing or fun."
* Marcus` takes it and just sits there for a moment.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Infact, mah breasts are sosh ama-zing, that Cassh would be jealoujsh
* Jennifer` fixes her hair a little, she's been making attempts to control it. "R-Really?"
<SPoC> 6Dias turns his head to look at her, than her chest. 1"They are beautiful."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her forehead and wobbles off the doorway. 1"Holy hell."
* Marcus` laughs, after taking another swig. "You're right, they are perfect." He notes with a nod, setting the bottle back towards Dias.
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs the bottle and holds onto it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *thumbs Dias* Too bad yoush turned me down that one time. Ha ha...your losh
<SPoC> <Dias> Pscht, I was being a gentleman!
<Jennifer`> "I don't seem too... boyish or anything?"
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "You turned her down!? You're a moron."
<Kit> 6Chii stops preying on Cheryl's mind in two ways, the very interaction making her world spin. 1"...Okay, how's she... do that..." 6Falls to sitting. 1"...And live?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes another swig.
<Marcus`> Moron. *he repeats, shaking his head* Idiot.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course. I can give you some pointers, but you're beautiful as is, Jen. Really.
<SPoC> <Dias> Whatever, I couldn't have lived with myself if I did. 6He hangs his head back, staring up at the cieling.
* Jennifer` goes red in the cheeks. "Thanks... I-I'll take the pointers though." She smiles.
<Kit> <Freyja> Everyone's unique, anyway. What makes you happy would just piss others off. I should know! Haha.
<Marcus`> Aww. He's a sweetie. Don'tcha think, Cheryl?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scoffs and laughs
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then falls on her back
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then I'll give you some pointers some time later today.
<SPoC> <Dias> That hurts, ya know? 6He takes another quick drink, snorting as he holds the bottle away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her bottle and brings her to her lips, despite being on her back
<Marcus`> Psch. You don't really care. You're Dias the amazing pimp or something.
<SPoC> <Dias> Was. 6He points at Marcus, or near him. Or one of him. 1"But nots anymore."
<Jennifer`> Jennifer> "S-Sure." *She thumbs at a bruise on her cheek*
<Jennifer`> "I should get back to training..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now hesh a gentleman
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl breaks off drinking on her back.
<SPoC> <Dias> And-And a Scholar. 6He turns pointing towards Cheryl, his finger wagging.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright
* Marcus` snorts. "Right. Right." He just drinks more.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A scholar. 6* She repeats, apparantly drunk enough to be a parrot.
* Jennifer` scooches off her lap and smiles, "Thanks... I feel a lot better now... ummm... I'm not sure how to ask Dad for the things I need though..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Leave it to me.
<Marcus`> Whadaya think of me, Cheryl? *he tilts his head, obviously curious*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lesh annoying than before
<Jennifer`> * Jenn smiles and hugs her, then heads out of the room.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oooooh. 6He points towards Marcus, making a cocky face
<Marcus`> Less, she said. I'll take that. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs drunkenly, then sits up and holds her head.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wheresh my bottle?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks for it
* Marcus` gives it to Dias, then points to Dias.
<Kit> 6Chii ambles over and stares down at Cheryl curiously.
<SPoC> <Dias> I think you drank it. 6He glances around, blinking several times.
<SPoC> 6Dias than looks at his hand. 1"Oh. Here it is." 6He holds it out to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Chii, patting her face. "Hey yoush."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her bottle, and drinks more
<Kit> 6Chii turns her head slightly and grips the bottle before it reaches the pouring angle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. "Hey. Leggo."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches her go, then back at Freyja
<SPoC> 6Dias snatches the bottle as Chii grabs it. 1"Bad...Chii..."
* Marcus` just watches.
<Kit> <Chii> Nah. I think you know already I'd be the first one to toss more liqour your way if it didn't matter, but there has to be a point to call it quits sometimes. Besides, with these two morons messed up, there's no one to watch anymore.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes slightly. 1"So if you keep sulking about like that, I can't practice."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. "Dont make me kick yoursh assh."
<SPoC> 6Dias squints, narrowing his eyes at being called a moron. 1"Not a moron."
<Kit> 6Chii smiles widely. 1"Perfect. That's the spirit."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts, grabbing at the bottle to free it
<Kit> 6Chii turns her gaze to Dias, daring him to let go of it to Cheryl, since he snatched it and all.
<SPoC> 6Dias wiggles his head cockily and hands it right over to Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii just grips it before its end can be poured again. 1"There goes the gentlemen aspect."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks victoriously drunk, and takes a victory swing
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, showing her teeth. "Chii."
<SPoC> <Dias> A gentleman never turns down a woman's request. 6He struggles to overpower her and pour it into Cheryl's mouth
<Kit> 6Chii stares at him blankly, using both hands.
<Kit> <Chii> She can have the rest after she kicks my ass. Then we can all pass out happy.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans forward, pressing her cheek suddenly against Chii's cheek, running her finger along Chii's arm. "Yoush gonna let go for me, right Chii?"
<SPoC> <Dias> HO! 6He swings his crutch up and over, lightly bonking Chii on the head.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Cheryl, then gets bonked and scoffs. 1"Tch. I already told you I wouldn't go for that since you're not that way."
<Kit> <Chii> My terms are set, and gimp's starting to get on my nerves.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs, throwing up her hands. "Everyone turnsh me down."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up wobbily.
<SPoC> <Dias> Gimp? Where? 6He looks around. His hand still on the bottle
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? You turned me down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mutters incoherantly.
<DeathStar> 6* And goes to a cabinet.
<Kit> 6Chii lightly boots the crutch, letting go of the bottle.
* Marcus` stands up and glances around at them.
<SPoC> 6Dias falls onto his back and he tumbles onto his one good foot. He hops backwards, obviously off-balance
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls out a THIRD bottle.
* Marcus` reaches out and catches Dias, but accidentally knocks him back towards Chii, since he doesn't know how much force to use.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds it up. "Ish win."
<Kit> 6Chii turns to Cheryl, then crosses her arms and actually starts to look irritated. 1"Trust, huh?" 6As soon as Dias' pressure touches her she whirls on her feet and allows him to continue onward toward Cheryl.
<SPoC> 6Dias stumbles over towards Chii now, hobbling around
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, you win. I'll be outside if you sober up in time for some moonlighting.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up a hand. "Whatsh that suppose to mean?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Weeeeeeee. 6Dias stumbles towards Cheryl now
<Kit> 6Chii spreads her hands, palms upturned in a shrug as she moves out of the hangar. 1"I don't really know, I guess."
<Kit> <Freyja> Jen's how old, Kat?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses the hand to thrust him toward Marcus. Cheryl follows after her, looking mad. "Whatthe fuck doesh that mean?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Uh Oh....6He begins to stumble and spin towards Marcus now
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not sure. I think 15.
* Marcus` catches Dias. "SHE WANT'S TO SEX YOU UP!" He stumbles and falls.
<SPoC> <Dias> Who? 6He looks down at Marcus, ontop of him now.
<Kit> 6Chii huffs at Marcus' remark. 1"Means you're a mess at the moment, and since we're friends, I thought I'd say something. But I'm not going to tell you what to do, or what you can do."
<Marcus`> Dude. You have a boner.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Damn right. 6* She taps her chest. "I do what I want. But whatsh the fuck does that have to do with trush."
<SPoC> <Dias> Dude, that's my crutch. 6He rolls off him
<Marcus`> Oh thank god. *he sighs in relief*
<SPoC> 6And by doing so, puts pressure on the crutch, into his crotch
<Kit> <Chii> I do what the hell I want, too. But I trust your opinion. When you give it, anyway."
* Marcus` winces and elbows Dias in the face on instinct.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares. "Then why the fuck are you pissy?"
<SPoC> 6Dias' head snaps back and he grabs his face in pain. 1"Oi..."
<Kit> 6Chii pauses in her walk, having to think about it, it seems. 1"...Because I stopped when you asked, why not the other way around? Whatever. I don't understand this stuff. I'm going to go throw rocks at small animals or something."
* Marcus` lays there, then pulls himself up, he wants to watch the arguement.
<Kit> <Freyja> Late bloomer, eh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Leave the fucking animals out of it.
<Kit> <Chii> Out of what?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess so.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts and mutters something about killing animals*
<SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head and looks up at the two argueing, squinting. 1"Oi, this can't end well."
* Marcus` does his best to hide so he can watch, he covers up most of his face. "Shhh. I'm spying."
<Kit> 6Chii ...turns, growling slightly. 1"Well, the punching bags just don't do it!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then maybesh yoush should find a better target than some defenselesh animals.
<Kit> <Chii> I did, but she's slobbering on herself!" 6Yes, Chii's digressed to immature mode.
<Kit> <Freyja> So, about what I said, Katrina McCormick.
<Marcus`> OOOOh. I wouldn't take that! *he calls over his hand*
<SPoC> <Dias> Uh oh. 6He turns slightly as if expecting a massive blast to appear
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly does a blur punch into Chii's jaw with enough force to dislocate it if Chii doesn't move her head with it. Her aim is dead on.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *leans back, folding her hands together* Nothing personal, Freyja, but I don't feel like discussing it with you.
<Kit> 6Chii makes a startled noise for sure, shifting her head up and leaning backward to touch her hands to the floor, rolling back onto her feet. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hah. How wassh that?
<Kit> <Chii> Reckless.
<SPoC> <Dias> SPOT ON!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<Marcus`> Weak! Harder! *he hides behind his hand yet again*
<Kit> <Freyja> Then who can you, eh?
<SPoC> 6Dias jerks his hands up and holds up all 10 fingers. 1"I give it a 10."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores the two, staring down at Chii. She does a bring it motion
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Who says I haven't talked with someone about it? 6* She smiles.
<Kit> <Freyja> Your eyes. My favorite window.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. Well, I have talked to someone about it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles easily.
<Kit> 6Freyja waves her hand slightly. 1"Sure. But the way you're acting signifies that you're holding more than you've given."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And how am I acting? 6* She looks curious
<Kit> 6Chii just crosses her arms. 1"What, now we're in a pissing contest?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yoush said you wanted a target. Well, back it up.
* Jennifer` is now known as Sera|Sleep
<Kit> <Freyja> Somber, detached, callous and otherwise brutally short-sided.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina laughs musically.
<SPoC> <Dias> Booo, screws it Cheryl. Let's finish drinking and bonding."
<Kit> <Chii> Bonding. Tch.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl advances on Chii slowly.
<Kit> <Freyja> You're acting like me, really.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that a compliment, or an insult, Freyja? 6* She studies her with a counselor look
<Kit> 6Chii fights off an agitated look. 1"...Fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then turns her back. "Forget it. Leave the animalish alone."
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not responsible for what happens to the stooges if they don't move, then.
<Kit> 6Chii stares. 1"Does that include them?" 6Gestures at Marcus and Dias.
<SPoC> <Dias> Who you calling stooges?! 6He shakes his fist at Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits back down with her bottle of booze.
<Kit> <Freyja> Neither, really.
<SPoC> <Dias> Wait, animals?! I'm lost.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies her. "Mmhmm."
<Marcus`> You know. Resorting to name calling just shows how childish and immature you are.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Dias. "What'd I say!?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Something poignant....Wait, what did I just say?
* Marcus` attempts to sneak the bottle away from Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii peers toward Marcus. 1"...You realize of course you're the one I'm most annoyed with, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Marcus' hand and squeezes in warning
* Marcus` tilts his head, his hand squeezed, he glances at it. "....ow...." he steps back and stares at it slowly. "Wait...what did I do?" he glances at Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Marcus' movement, then blinks and rubs her chin. 1"Never mind."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses his hand away.
<SPoC> <Dias> I thinks she's mad cuz you tried screwing Kat's
<Kit> <Chii> Wow. He is stupid.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl chugs at the bottle, staring at Chii in annoyance.
<SPoC> <Dias> HEY!
<Kit> <Chii> Or drunk. Or both.
<Marcus`> I think she's mad because even though we're drunk, we're still cooler than her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up. "Ungh. Voices annoyish me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks for the exit.
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't care anymore. 6He crosses his arms then falls over, losing his balance.
<Marcus`> No! You can't run away!
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Marcus, mouthing 'thanks' silently.
<DeathStar> 6* He gets the bird.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her bottle with her, of course
* Marcus` eyes Chii. "What the fuck?"
<Kit> 6Chii then peers at Cheryl, since she was exiting originally and steps out of the way.
<SPoC> 6Dias hits the hanger floor with a thud.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out past Chii wihtout a look. Apparantly she's moody now.
<Kit> 6Chii thought she was moody to begin with. Heads back to the training room, since she's been banned from poaching small animals with stone age methods.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oy, oy.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the training room first, as if claiming it.
<SPoC> 6Dias starts snoring, having passed out
<Marcus`> I'm all alone. *hangs his head now*
<Kit> 6Freyja waves her hand, leaning back. The bed looks like a couch now and Freyja reclines on it. 1"I can do this, too!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *sighs* Do you have to change my bed?
<Kit> 6Chii stands in the doorway, staring!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands in the middle of the room, staring back.
* SPoC is now known as Dias-Awweep
* Marcus` steps out of the hanger and staggers off down the hallway.
<Kit> <Freyja> It's an illusion, dear. I can't transmogrify other objects.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ah. Of course. My mistake.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a defiant swallow of the alcohol, too.
* Marcus` pauses and knocks on Katrina's door.
<Kit> 6Chii rolls her eyes and steps in, heading for the punching bag she was using earlier.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up. "Come on in, Marcus."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Chii, then eyes the robot drone. "Activate."
* Marcus` pokes his head in. "How'dya know it was me?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Oops. There goes my next question." 6The imagery of the bed returns to normal.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Your emotions.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances over her shoulder at Marcus.
<Marcus`> I'm sad. *he frowns as he steps in and sits down on the bed*
<Kit> 6Chii shouts over. "Theron!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why?
<DeathStar> 6* The drone takes on Theron's fighting style.
<Marcus`> Chii yelled at me. *he lowers his head*
<Kit> 6Freyja covers her mouth to keep from snickering as she glances away.
<DeathStar> 6* And proceeds to attack Cheryl with no mercy.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms and watches.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a brutual beat down. For Cheryl.
<Kit> <Chii> Deactivate.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Awww. 6* She pats Marcus on the head.
<DeathStar> 6* It ignores her. Apparantly Theron uses some other code word.
<Kit> 6Chii pulls out a gun and shoots it.
<DeathStar> 6* The drone is shot.
<Marcus`> 6* Of course it's a robot, soooo.
<DeathStar> 6* And goes back to attacking
<Kit> <Chii> Bastard child of a can opener, don't ignore me. Shut off you son of a bitch.
* Marcus` tilts his head and glances at Freyja, then Kat. "...you busy?"
<Kit> <Freyja> No.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We were just talking about a few things. Why?
<Kit> 6Chii proceeds over and takes out both swords, moving to strike it.
<Marcus`> I don't wanna be bother an all. That's bad, mom always used to...*he pauses and shakes his head*
<DeathStar> 6* The drone deactivates after it takes sword damage.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays on her side, then rolls onto her stomach, spitting up a glob of blood.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies him, then sniffs his breath. "Have you been drinking?"
<Kit> <Chii> Okami. And you wanted to fight with me?
<Kit> <Freyja> Totally.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores Chii. She reaches in her mouth and pulls out a molar, tossing it down
<Marcus`> Tch! *he looks offended*
<Marcus`> N-Yes. *he tilts his head* That wrong?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess not. Just a bit early.
<Marcus`> I'm injured, it's never too early! *he proclaims proudly*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that so?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet wobbily like.
<DeathStar> 6* She turns and walks out, hunched painfully.
<Marcus`> Need muh healing juice. *he nods, with a odd grin*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs like a mother. "No wonder Chii made you sad."
<Kit> 6Chii stalks Cheryl guiltily.
<Marcus`> She calls me names. *he frowns, then gets serious* And that pisses me off. *he pauses* and makes me sad. I aint never did wrong to her.
<DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl enters her room, slapping the button door shut.
<Kit> <Freyja> Not even called her names?
<Kit> 6Chii sits in front of the door, staring at it like anything else.
<Marcus`> That was you. *he points* Wierdo. *he sticks his tongue out*
<DeathStar> 6 Katrina shakes her head. "Why you two can't get along."
<Kit> <Freyja> We don't get along?" 6Blinks.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii and Marcus.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh. I could probably surmise a few reasons, but you didn't want to talk.
<Marcus`> Don't ask me. *he throws up his hands* We aint dating or anything, it's not like i'm movin in on her girl or nothin.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't take the bait.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I wasn't her girl to begin with. I think you two just don't get along.
<Kit> <Freyja> Chii doesn't have attachments like that.
* Marcus` snorts. "She's more immature that I am. Than Jennifer even. That's dumb. Stupid. Like Dias retarded."
<DeathStar> 6* There's random noises inside Cheryl's room.
<Kit> <Freyja> Yeah, probably my fault. Never gave her anything except what I didn't want." 6She gazes at Katrina for some reason.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Freyja, perhaps reading her emotions
* Marcus` crosses his arms. "I don't like being drunk." He notes epically...if that's a word, you know.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then why are you drunk?
<Kit> <Freyja> Peer pressure.
<Marcus`> Aint got nothing better to do. *he shrugs* You aint ever gonna agree to a date again, i'm too immature.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Marcus curiously. "I see."
<Marcus`> We should play a game.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What sort of game?
<Marcus`> A...fun one?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Like?
<Marcus`> I'm drunk, lady. You're supposed to entertain me!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hardlyt.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should sleep it off.
* Marcus` scoffs. "You want me to go, i'll go. But we should play a game."
<Kit> 6Freyja tests Marcus' psyche by having white birds fly around his head, and a pair of bunnies look up at him from the floor, and a dog and a cat hugging.
<Kit> 6Granted, Katrina can see them too.
* Marcus` just stares. "You're being infested."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then name a game. 6* She looks unreacted to the illusions
<DeathStar> 6* The noises quiet down for a bit inside Cheryl's room
<Kit> 6Chii leans forward and listens more closely.
<DeathStar> 6* Eerie silencen ow
<Kit> 6Chii looks up and studies for vent openings.
<Marcus`> Oh! *he snaps out of the illusions.* We should play a game where if you're sober, you gotta give the other player a kiss. Wait no, that's too easy. Umm. *he thinks* We should play Ro Sham Bo.
<Kit> <Freyja> Spin the bottle?
<DeathStar> 6* There are vents here and there
<Marcus`> Ro Sham Bo. *he repeats*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And what is that?
<Kit> 6Chii reaches up with the edge of her sword and slides one's panel away, leaps up and grabs the edges with her fingertips and pulls herself up into them, looking both ways before moving toward Cheryl's.
<Marcus`> Ro. *he makes a rock motion* Sham *a paper one* Bo *scissors*
<Kit> <Freyja> Janken." 6Giggle.
<Marcus`> Ro Sham Bo. *he says again, sternly*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks a bit amused, perhaps. "I think I'm too old for that."
* Marcus` snorts. "Then you must be eleventy billion."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Just a few years shy
<DeathStar> 6* Chii approaches DOOM
* Marcus` widens his eyes, then narrows them. "You're just saying that. Cause you're scared you'll lose."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *sighs* Fine. One round.
* Marcus` grins widely. "On 5." He holds up his fist.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina does the same, though with the lack of enthuasm
<Marcus`> 1, 2, 3, 4....5! *he throws his hand down*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a scissors.
* Marcus` makes a rock, but with his thumb sticking up. "Hah! I win!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats Marcus on the arm. "Yes."
<Marcus`> Dynamite always wins. *he nods proudly*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina motions to the bed. "Here. Why don't you lay down, Marcus?"
<Marcus`> Aw, I don't wanna bother no one. I like talkin to ya.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina taps her fingers on the arm of her chair. "Dynamite, hm?"
<Marcus`> Spode. *he makes a blowing up motion*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods slowly. This will be a long night
<Kit> 6Luckily Freyja has the patience of a waterfall.
<Kit> 6Chii crawls toward doom lest she actually feels that negativity or killing intent.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would find the room trashed; apparantly Cheryl rearranged it with her fists. And Cheryl laying, completely nude, on the bed, apparantly asleep, but if so, with no snoring. Her body appears to be healing whatever damage was inflicted
<Kit> 6Chii moves the plate aside and winds wire around her midori bottle, lowering it slowly down to what remains. Probably the only thing standing upright. Then sneaks away like a good ninja
<Kit> <Freyja> Dynamite doesn't explode underwater...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Freyja.
<Kit> 6Freyja peers back at Katrina.
<Marcus`> PSH. You can't do water with your hands!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans in her seat, staring at Marcus
<Kit> 6Freyja tosses her hands, spreading her fingers. A fine mist sprays, forming a rainbow. Nothing gets wet.
* Marcus` stares at Katrina.
<DeathStar> -THE NEXT DAY-
<DeathStar> 6* And so, a day has passed suddenly, like a second.
<Kit> 6Freyja starts to snicker.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is asleep, having had to deal with Marcus all night
<Kit> 6Chii wails on a punching bag, in a fowler mood than the previous day.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is still in isolated training
* Marcus` stumbles through the hallway, holding his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is up and about in the hanger. Her mood is foul.
* Marcus` steps into the hanger and glances around. "...this isn't the bathroom."
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> -UNEND-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at him. Her face has some slight discoloration from bruising that's healing quicker than normal.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Hey. Who hit you?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* I ran into my own fist.
<Marcus`> That's a good talent to have. *he notes with a nod, glancing around, then slowly sitting down on a work stool.* Don't let me drink ever again...at least not that stuff.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl breaks a metal pipe in two and moves to stuff one end into a hole in the shuttle.
<Kit> 6Freyja lies across the bed staring at Katrina. 1"You got away this time!"
* Marcus` groans. "I think I proposed to Kat." He eyes Cheryl for a moment. "You ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rolls over, half-asleep and not sure what's going on.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Huh?
<Kit> 6Freyja calmly shifts away and exits the door, waiting for it to close before returning to the 'brig' whistling.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Did she say yes? 6* She says, twisting the metal pipe.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at nothing, and goes back to sleep, apparantly.
<Marcus`> I think she just...patted my head or somethin. I do get kinda childish when I'm intoxicated. Remember when you first met me? Take 4 years off of that. *he nods*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ungh.
<Kit> 6Chii stalks off toward the hangar, doing her usual spy thing out of agitation, boredom, and flat out childish curiousity to the aftermath.
<Marcus`> You even got a hangover?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. 6* She twists the pipe. "You going to fucking spy, then pick a better fucking target." 6* She shouts out to no one.
<Kit> 6A rather unmiraculous thud resounds in the hallway.
* Marcus` sniffs, then shakes his head. "We should hang out and drink more often. Just don't let me get drunk, a beer is all and well. But that fuel stuff was dangerous."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Hey you hungry?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not really.
<Marcus`> That's a shame. I'm a damn good cook. *he hops off the stool* I could make you something if you were, i'm pretty hungry myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the second half of the pipe and stabs it into another hole. "Said I wasn't."
<Marcus`> Right...i'll leave you be now. I hope you feel better, you did a real number to your face.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm crazy like that
<Marcus`> Crazy's the only way to be these days. *he hops off the stool and moves for the door* Later.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes some sort of grunt sound that could be later
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Marcus as he leaves, then slips in crouching by her feet precariously.
<Marcus`> HEY CHII! *he calls out loudly as he walks away*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wipes her hands and walks for another exit. Apparantly she isn't ready to be near Chii.
* Marcus` seems proud of himself as he vanishes into the...kitchen.
<Kit> <Chii> I hate when he rubs it in.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii is alone as she says this.
<DeathStar> 6* All alone.
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl's exit and peers at nothing, before going around to collect up discarded pipes and the likes. Generally just tidying up the mess.
<DeathStar> -END-

<DeathStar> -RESUME-
<DeathStar> 6* Chii has cleaned up discarded pipes.
<Kit> 6Chii brushes her hands off, then moves for Cheryl's room, only listening at the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Eerily silent.
* Kit repeats her procedure, knocking the vent cover away and leaps to pull herself up and check.
<Kit> 6Freyja yawns. Guarding? the interrogation door.
<DeathStar> 6* Unlike last time, the vent cover is ripped off and hands grab her, yanking her out of the vent and across the room.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I told you you should pick a better fucking target!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy walks past Freyja.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh.
<Kit> 6Chii grunts as she slams her back on the wall, but lands in a crouch, twitching slightly. That definitely hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* And suddenly sprays her in the face with blue paint, running for the interrogation door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares down at her.
<Kit> 6Freyja hangs her head and sighs. She put up a barrier anyway; and takes out a hankerchief and starts wiping.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy scurries off, plotting revenge.
<Kit> <Chii> Yes you did, not that I was spying this time.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the hell do you call that?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions at the vent.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her shoulder, remaining in a crouch. If one didn't know better she was looking for a place to run. Regardless of her thoughts, she refuses to answer except with a childish. "1..Hrmph.."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts, then hits the door open button for Chii.
<Kit> <Chii> If you're still angry, just hit me already. Otherwise, I'll be back to clean the place when you really aren't here.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can clean my own fucking room.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks like she's still angry, but doesn't take the blow.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Never said you couldn't." 6Rubs her forehead, then glumly averts her eyes and makes her way out with an awkward poise now from being slammed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets her go, crossing her arms. It seems she has no intention of stopping Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii just makes her way out then, however depressed or hurt she is, one of the similarities they share is pride and stubborness. She just makes her way back to the training room while she still has it monopolized.
<DeathStar> 6*Billy hangs from the rafters, staring at Chii.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Little Chii, she got no friends! Little Chii, she ran them all off! Now all she's got is a training bag!
<Kit> <Chii> ...Shut up, brat.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *peers at Chii upside down, then breaks out into a second verse* She stones them birds, she stones them real good! Smashes their little brains in!
<DeathStar> <Billy> And now no one loves her.
<Kit> <Chii> Shut up.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her shoulder, then peers at the training drone and narrows her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *swings* Maybe when she's a baby, they'll like her again! As they change her diapers and wipe her ass!
<Kit> <Chii> Activate.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears it's still in it's emergency shut off mode after being cut
<Kit> 6Chii kicks it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *swings back and forth* Tee-hee.
<Kit> 6Chii turns her head upwards and scowls. 1"You're really annoying, you know that?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Thank you.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles.
<Kit> <Chii> I've been wondering where you've been for days, and you only show up for this?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yep.
<Kit> <Chii> Why don't you stay missing, then? Run back to the mommies or something.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *smiles* And so, the little girl ran off the only person who would still talk to her, leaving her alone. What a poor, wretched girl she was.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy climbs up into te rafters out of sight
<Kit> <Chii> Whatever. Next time I'll just know better than to worry about anyone but myself.
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
<Kit> 6She kicks one of the bags with the edge of her foot. 1"Lot of fucking good it does."
<DeathStar> 6* The bag does not respond.
<Kit> 6Chii repetitively combos it in various manners, probably seeking to empty her thoughts by repeating languid patterns. They're not the fastest strikes, but they're practiced and precise.
<DeathStar> 6* The bag weeps.
<Kit> <Freyja> Not quite what I expected, but I can't say I'm surprised.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, taking a moment to exit a daze before scowling. 1"Oh fuck off."
<Kit> <Freyja> There's plenty of that going around. Are you having fun?
<Kit> 6Chii strikes the bag with her foot, gazing over while contact is still made. 1"...I really will kill you. Not like anyone would stop me this time."
<Kit> 6Freyja grins and shrugs. 1"Eh, you're probably right. So then why'd you bother saving me? Because you'd 'disappear' without our soul intact?"
<Kit> 6Chii twitches. 1"I meant after that, ahou."
* Ariel has quit IRC (Quit: Ex-Chat)
* Ariel has joined #taw
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh right. Katrina asked you to stop. I must admit I was caught offguard. Our reunion and you tried to strangle me to death. Quite the impression.
<Kit> <Chii> Keep talking.
<Kit> <Freyja> You're right. I feel as though the ties amongst us are weaker than ever. Perhaps even more deeply so than when I tried to use them as the key.
<Kit> 6Chii seemingly ignores her like she usually seeks to do.
<Kit> <Freyja> It surprised me how capable you were, though. Frankly I wouldn't have thought that the darker side of sentient nature was capable of creating bonds, much less so many in a short period of time.
<Kit> <Chii> Pfeh.
<Kit> 6An elbow smashes the bag again as Chii leans against it, looking weary. 1"...What's your point? I don't have such things. You used to say that yourself. You would know best."
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ari[AWAY]
<Kit> <Freyja> Not really. Not anymore. You still want to say that? For the second time in our 'life' and such a short time after the first, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did you manage to create another link, but you fashioned one that I couldn't fail to notice.
<Kit> 6Chii turns slowly, expression creased in confusion.
<Kit> <Freyja> We still share our soul, Chiikun. And for as long as we do, there will be a few things you can't hide from me. One of them being such a noticeable thing as channeling. Who would've thought the old experiments really were such an interesting thing?
* Ari[AWAY] has quit IRC (Quit: Ex-Chat)
<Kit> <Chii> What the hell are you talking about?
<Kit> <Freyja> Don't be coy. Obviously the weapon you turned against that decommissioned Beta project. Did you think I wouldn't notice something that connects us in such a way?
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, then narrows her eyes. 1"You have nothing to do with it, so..."
<Kit> <Freyja> If you're going to draw off our spirit as a whole instead of following the rules, I do believe I'll have something to do with it.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't have a choice, kisama. Until we can find the one who did it, I can't make a serum for something I've been poisoned with.
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles. 1"I see. So you'll break the rules whenever it suits you?"
<Kit> <Chii> You seriously want to annoy me with that right now?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Just looking out for my little sister. O. Nee. Chan.
<Kit> 6A kunai flings for Freyja's chest, clinking against an invisible resting point before hitting the ground. The brunette giggles, then assumes her normal appearance. 1"Feisty this morn?"
<Kit> 6Two more are flung, veering away from her at angles, the first hitting the wall behind her, the second hitting the eye of its hilt and clanging back for Freyja's rear. She flickers to the side, laughing again, poising her hands to loose a light arrow at Chii.
<Kit> <Chii> Really, really not in the mood." 6Her teeth ground, she takes a quick step, then leaps to the side, drawing out both guns, firing twice each for a total of twelve sporadic shots which Freyja holds back with barriers.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Enough.
<Kit> 6The two pause, blinking toward the sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, not looking amused. Apparantly he was monitoring them enough to know the fight broke out.
<Kit> 6Chii just twitches. 1"... ..."
<Kit> 6Freyja stifles a giggle behind her hand. 1"...Warren?" 6Then goes back to retaining her alternate appearance since it seems the bout is prematurely ended.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to go, speaking over his shoulder. "Do that again inside, and I'll take you both down."
<Kit> <Chii> Why'd you bother interrupting for that!?" 6Punches the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to peer at Chii calmly. "Learn to control your anger. I don't care if you're only dark side emotions. It's time to grow up."
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Visible twitch. "1For what? There's nothing to grow up for."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks over to Chii, and suddenly backhands her across the face.
<Kit> 6Freyja runs a finger along her lip in thought.
<Kit> 6Chii, really not expecting something like that, slowly brings her face back, wincing and practically whistling through her clenched teeth as she exhales. Of controlling her temper, her left hand clutches her right, holding one of her swords. Both hands tremble.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Am I supposed to make something... of that?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at her calmly. "If you are going to act like a child, then I will respond to you as one." 6* He turns his back to her. "You have made connections here, good and bad, among the team. If that's not enough for you to want to grow up and become something more, to make something of those connections, then I think you know where the exit is at. Freyja can send you off somewhere where you can act like a spoiled brat."
<Kit> 6Freyja ventures toward the center of the training room, like a kid with ADD, and peers up at the vents.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks off.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh, she was here, too. Haa..." 6Ambles after Warren. 1"I suppose that makes sense, besides me sending her somewhere."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Kit> 6Chii stares incredulously after the two, sheating the ninjato reluctantly and feeling more pissed off than ever.
<Kit> <Freyja> She doesn't listen to me anymore. If anything, she goes out of her way to make sure she doesn't." 6Once absolutely sure they're out of Chii's hearing. 1"Why do the violent ones seem to attract one another?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to look at Freyja quietly.
<Kit> <Freyja> What? It's true.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She does not listen to you because you toy with her.
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks, then tilts her head. 1"..That's not exclusive. I do that with everythi-- Ohhh."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at her.
<DeathStar> 6* If Billy's around, she doesn't taunt Chii.
<Kit> <Freyja> I guess I'm a pretty lousy older sister. Haa..! Hey, I'm new at that. It wasn't like we were so indepedent originally. It's still hard to think of her as someone else, when there's so many rules being broken and bent that belie either eventuality.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's time you grew up some as well, Freyja.
<Kit> <Freyja> The act's over?
<DeathStar> <Warren> If one looks into the past long enough, they'll never notice what they have in the present. 6* He turns to go again. "You keep looking backwards, you'll never see what you have in front of you. Maybe it's time you re-evaulate your life goals."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks off.
<Kit> 6Freyja puts a hand to her hip and stares off at Warren's retreat. 1"I already did that."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps walking, though he appears to be listening
<Kit> <Freyja> I thought a shift from sequential annihilation of imbalances to general world peace was a good move. Though some people make it quite difficult to be nice, I won't name names!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts and enters the interrogation room, shutting the door.
<Kit> 6Freyja crosses her arms and narrows her eyes down the hallway. 1"Problem is, no one wants to accept what I want to be, and there's more use in the present for that puppeteer."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy spies.
<Kit> 6Chii continues to twitch for a while, then sits down, attempting to calm her nerves.
<DeathStar> 6* Someone sits beside Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii doesn't respond at first, almost a whole four seconds before shifting her gaze and turning her head to actually look.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits there. She glances at Chii and offers a smile.
<Kit> 6Chii stares, then three seconds later, jerks back and almost topples over. 1"...Erah!?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Are you okay?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at her in concern.
<Kit> 6Resetting herself, Chii resumes sitting 'peacefully.' 1"I'm fine."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You shouldn't lie. I felt your emotions all the way out in the hallway.
<Kit> 6Chii grumbles and averts her eyes, pummeling the floor with her knuckles.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at Chii, and sighs. "Alright. But Chii. If you want to talk about it, I'm always here."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes to stand up.
<Kit> <Chii> Why?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms. "Because I care about you, Chii. Things between us might be shakey, but that hasn't changed."
<Kit> <Chii> ...Why are things... shakey?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs. "Because I don't know how to define our relationship. I want us to be friends. To establish that ground base. But it really seems to me sometimes you can just take things or leave them. Like the friendship and attachment means nothing solid to you."
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Another thwack to the floor. 1"...I can't deny that."
<Kit> <Chii> How do you explain something that doesn't make sense?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. 6* She rubs her arms.
<Kit> <Chii> None of you really make any sense to me, so I do tend to just take things as they are. If I tried to break everything down I'd give myself a headache.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a deep breath. "Well. For me, friendships and attachments aren't just something I can take or leave. And it hurts me that you can do that. Even if I understand where you're coming from. So, I find it hard to just act like nothing's shakey.
<Kit> 6Chii stares a punching bag down. Her prey.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I'll leave you be, Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to walk out.
<Kit> <Chii> It's not as if that's all there is to it. If things were that simple I wouldn't be pissed off.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, glancing back at Chii.
<Kit> <Chii> Sure, saying you won't sleep with me kind of sucks, but hey, whatever. But then being honest with my thoughts, something that's supposed to be a damned good thing, goes and makes you act all funny and avoid me.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. Do you value our friendship, Chii?
<Kit> <Chii> I've never had friendship. To say it's something I value, I wouldn't know. I only know that whatever it is, missing, annoys the hell out of me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina then smiles slightly. "Then we'll start from there and see where it takes us." 6* She kneels there. "No more flirting. No more innuedos. We'll just be friends and see how it goes from there."
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl's the first person to bluntly say she'd be friends with me and actually invest something with me besides you, so when I had concerns I thought I would invest mine and ...she pissed me off so I played a prank and she got beat up and is ticked at me now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina considers. "Apologize, then. Friends do that when they piss each other off."
<Kit> <Chii> Was going to apologise, but the idea's irritating so I thought I'd do something else and I got thrown into a wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs a bit.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii. Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes her. 1"...What?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sometimes you should just let go of that pride and just take the direct route. Then you might not get thrown into walls.
<Kit> <Chii> At first sight of me she ran off. What do I do, shout it at her back?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you have to.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> At least then the ball is in her court, isn't it?
<Kit> 6Chii scowls even more. 1"I'm not apologising so that nimrods like Marcus and Dias can hear."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head and stands up.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, would that really be so worse than sitting here and pouting at a punching bag?
<Kit> <Chii> Then I've been ..." 6Tests the word. "1Worried about Billy since the last few incidents and she just comes here to mock me."
<Kit> <Chii> ...What does friendship represent amongst these things?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a deep breath and lets it out. "Friendship is something you invest time and energy into because you think there's something worth investing in. Even if the other person might make you mad or annoy you, if you feel there's value in giving that person your time, and being with that person, then that's friendship. You stick with it. You work through it. You compromise. You apologize when you have to do it, (cont)
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And you stand your ground when it's necessary. You're there for them, even if they slap at your hand, because you want to be there for them. Because they're worth being there for.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's friendship.
<Kit> <Chii> ... ... ...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies her.
<Kit> 6Chii looks slightly confused. 1"So I should apologise to you and Cheryl. But what about Billy?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should be honest with Billy. Tell her what you felt when she said those things. And if she wants to be friends, she'll take the steps to make it right.
<Kit> <Chii> Probably not.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You can't know until you give her the chance. That is, if you want to give her the chance.
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"She's innocent hearted, but definitely inclined toward evil. We're similar in respects, which is why I liked her at first, but now I just think she doesn't seek bonds."
<Kit> <Chii> Freyja didn't... tell you anything, did she?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She might not want them.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Tell me about what?
<Kit> 6Chii scowls again, shaking her head. 1"Nothing."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her arms. "So, friends?"
<Kit> <Chii> ...I can't do any of the fun stuff?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. IT's complicated to explain, but I'm looking for something else. So that's why I want to be friends.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her head, mumbling. 1"Reason to belong."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Pardon me?
<Kit> 6Chii purses her lips at Katrina. 1"I'll be friends."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, then nods. "I'd like that, Chii."
<Kit> <Chii> ...So... we're friends?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't feel any differently.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles slightly and sits beside Chii, pulling her into a hug. "Feel better now?"
<Kit> 6Chii resists, much like Billy resists her own hugs, but relents. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll take that as a maybe, then
<Kit> <Chii> Maybe.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps her holding her. "So, want to talk about what's bothering you, or should we sit here quietly?"
<Kit> <Chii> ...I thought we were talking about... that...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, we were. But now we can do it as genuine friends.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina says this seriously, as if it makes a difference.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can be the scornful girlfriend who goes, "Dias did what? That moron." and whatnot.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't get it. I do that anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina laughs. "Fair enough."
<Kit> 6Chii squints toward the ceiling. 1"..."
<Kit> <Chii> Why does Marcus act dumb?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. I personally think Marcus is very deep and serious when he wants to be . But he's young, and likes to play around still.
<Kit> <Chii> I know. So why does he act stupid?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmm. We'll chalk it up to immaturity. Not stupidity.
<Kit> <Chii> So why does Dias act dumb?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think Dias has changed a lot lately. A lot. But really? Immaturity.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And perhaps a clever ruse to lure people into a sense of security.
<Kit> <Chii> It's normal to get a shiver down your spine when you first learn Warren has a pronounceable voice beyond guttural sounds, right?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, if you find that terrifying, did you know Warren has a professional singing voice?
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, so I don't need to worry about him actually saying a few paragraph's worth rather than a few words.
<Kit> <Chii> Warren. Singing." 6...She starts laughing softly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Probably not. Warren typically only speaks if he has to do so, or if he thinks the person is worth hearing his voice. As vain as that sounds.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Or if he's high and insulting someone.
<Kit> <Chii> Nice.
<Kit> <Chii> With all the practice grunting I bet he'd make a good Elvis impersonator.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, maybe if you're lucky one day, I'll play my hidden recording of him singing
<Kit> <Chii> I'll kiss you.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Now now! 6* She makes a feigning of tisking
<Kit> <Chii> Huh? ...Oh, bah.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "I'll see if I can dig it up."
<DeathStar> -AND SO ENDETH THIS MINI-
