* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080117.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.3.13
<DeathStar> Location: New HQ
* Jennifer` pulls herself out of bed in the medical bay, not that there's any sort of regular medic to tell her she can or can't go.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* Marcus` is doing something new for a change, drawing something on a pad of paper.
* Jennifer` looks about quietly as she peeks into the hallway.
* Marcus` is also in the main lobby area, for those that care.
<DeathStar> 6* No one does.
* Cassandra` in the training area, giving the punching bag a work over.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna holds the bag for Cass, "You know, you'd think we'd get some modern training equipment, considering this group."
* Jennifer` sneaks down the hall for Warren's office.
* Marcus` whistles as he strokes his hand back and forth over the page, apparently shading something.
* Chad`Winters is now known as SPoC
<Cassandra`> I'm surprised there is any equipment left in a usable state.
<Kit> 6Something grabs ahold of Jennifer, more or less landing upon her.
* Jennifer` eeeps and crashes.
<Kit> <Chii> What good is modern equipment?
<Kit> 6Chii does her daily combos on another bag.
* SPoC sits in the messhall, staring down a bottle of juice
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Works better than a bag of random junk to beat on."
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, you mean the training room, ahaha.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...no. I wanted training equipment in the kitchen." *rolls her eyes*
<Kit> 6Chii returns to a couple rap jabs and kicks it, peering sideways at Setsuna. 1"I thought you meant our weaponry."
* Jennifer` tries to stand up.
<Kit> <Chii> I carry an arsenal of what's probably considered relics nowadays, but I'm just as ineffective as anyone else when it really comes down to playing for keeps. Oft we seem to find our fists doing the last dance anyway."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...I DID state training, right up front, you know."
<Kit> <Chii> Wow, you're really stuck on that.
<SPoC> <Dias> The only weapon any man can truely rely on. 6He pumps his fist into the air as he steps into the training room
<Kit> 6Chii waves at Setsuna. 1"My bad."
* Cassandra` kicks into the bag while Chii and Setsuna have their exchange.
<Kit> 6Jennifer gets up! What toppled her rolls away and hops to her feet, Freyja laughs. 1"Feeling better then, I take it."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna falls over from the sudden force.
* Jennifer` blinks and stands up, nodding a little, "Yeah... I think I'll make a full recovery."
* Marcus` sticks his tongue out slightly as he focus'.
<Kit> 6Chii leans over and blinks down at Setsuna. 1"...Yo. You okay?"
<Jennifer`> * Darce wanders into the lobby, one arm on his coat slack and empty.
<Kit> <Freyja> Eh? You doubted it? I'm insulted.
<Cassandra`> You alright there?
<SPoC> 6Dias moves in fully now, he stretches recently healed leg, testing it
<Kit> 6She doesn't look insulted. Freyja peers at her fingernails, then poises a hand on her hip. 1"Off to bug Warren?"
* Jennifer` giggles, "No not like that."
* SPoC grabs the bottle of juice and opens it, taking a drink.
* Marcus` just draws, he can smell that this is a person that he'd rather not talk too.
<Kit> 6Chii offers a hand to Setsuna. 1"Funny, I thought you'd bounce back quick from being knocked on your back. At least from Cassandra."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Right... coming from the deaf scout." *pulls herself to her feet, holding her rib* "Damn... some kick there Cass. I felt that one through the bag."
<Jennifer`> * Darce leans over, looking at the drawing.
<Cassandra`> ...uhhh...cyborg.
* Marcus` pulls the page against his chest, he looks up at Darce. "Get lost."
<Kit> 6Chii quirks her expression, then takes his shunned hand back. 1"Deaf? Whatever." 6She peers between the two. 1"You didn't know? Must be life-like texture."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Drawing are you?"
* Jennifer` rubs the back of her head, "I was about to go report to Dad..."
* Marcus` stands, "Sorry, you're not my type." He turns and moves to walk down the hall.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Oh I know your type Jones."
<Kit> <Freyja> Report? You have something to report." 6She leans forward, blinking.
<Jennifer`> "Ummm... I guess."
<Kit> <Freyja> You guess? If you're not sure why are you reporting?
<SPoC> 6Dias just eyes the three girls and decides to just slowly back out lest he get start getting pms-sy
<Marcus`> Yeah, I bet you searched around in my head and found it right? *he keeps walking, now getting out of Darce's line of sight.
<Kit> 6Freyja clicks her heels together and salutes rather suddenly-- made more official by her choice of uniform as of late.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Don't need to look into your head, you're easy."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *braces the bag* "Let's try this again."
<Kit> 6Chii turns, and starts out, rushing to get past Dias and dashes down the hallway.
* Jennifer` looks down the hall towards his office.
<Kit> 6Out of sigh, Freyja begins laughing quietly.
<Cassandra`> ...what the?
<Cassandra`> Where is she going in such a hurry?
* Marcus` is out of sight so obviously Darce got the last line, congratualtions. A winner is you!
<Marcus`> NRP: lol I spelled Congrats wrong.
<DeathStar> NRP: Well, that made that sting less cool
<SPoC> 6Dias is rushed past and stumbles.
<Marcus`> NRP: Indeed.
* Marcus` tosses the drawing in the garbage as he walks by, he looks up to see Chii rushing towards him.
<Kit> 6Chii slips around Marcus and slides to a halt outside the hangar, peering in.
* Jennifer` looks at Freyja and blinks a bit.
* Marcus` glances behind him, then shakes his head, moving forward now.
<DeathStar> 6* The hanger is looking good. Looking good.
<Kit> <Chii> Cheeeeryl..!
<DeathStar> 6* The hanger is looking good. Looking good.
* Marcus` knocks on Katrina's door.
<DeathStar> 6* No answer.
* Jennifer` leeps looking at Freyja.
<Kit> 6Freyja waves her hand to dismiss the suspicion. 1"Ah, it's just silly to see a daddy's girl so trained.
<Jennifer`> "A-A what?" *she looks confused*
<Kit> <Freyja> Like walking the shrine steps. Seems unavoidable to miss that office door at least once a day.
* Marcus` hmphs and turns and moves on, slapping Dias on the chest when he passes him.
<Cassandra`> Anyway.. *punches into the bag*
<SPoC> 6Dias coughs and turns, leaping on Marcus back.
<Kit> 6Chii turns and dashes back, passing Marcus and Dias again to slide to a halt at Cheryl's room instead and knocking loudly.
<DeathStar> 6* No answer.
<Jennifer`> "Well yeah."
<Kit> <Chii> Damn. She probably started without me!
* Jennifer` scratches the back of her head a little and looks down at it again. "What'd you mean by 'trained daddy's girl'?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Hee, nothing much." 6She holds up a hand and wave-waves, then turns and skips off.
* Marcus` acks and tumbles forward, then tumbles backwards. "Dude you're fat."
<Kit> 6Chii hangs her head. 1"I missed tequila sunrise."
<SPoC> <Dias> And you have a small di-OOOF! 6He get's crushed by Marcus
<Kit> 6Chii turns and ambles back toward the training room with much less verve.
* SPoC has left #taw
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I swear... those twins make most people here look normal. Even the kid and her dog. She's got some skills, even if she cheats though."
* Jennifer` watches her go and sighs a bit, walking to Warren's office and knocking.
* SPoC has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* No answer. Then again, Warren is rarely in his office these days. You know. Prisoner and all that.
<DeathStar> 6* Just saying
<Marcus`> Hey let's go spy on that prisoner. *he carries Dias towards the interrogation room.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Lady Raquel does not cheat.
<Kit> 6Lilith peers over from her corner, practicing her balances, as quiet and unobtrusive as ever.
<SPoC> <Dias> Word. 6He get's carried along.
<Cassandra`> All's fair in love and war...
* Jennifer` heads down to the interrogation room to check there.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *glances over* "Nah, I ment the little 'ninja'."
<Marcus`> Ok you're too heavy. *he lets Dias walk himself, then glances at him* Maybe he'll do some impersonations for us. It'll be a hoot.
<Kit> 6Lilith tilts her head. 1"The 'girl and her dog' did not refer to Lady Raquel and myself?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Think he'll do a naked impersonation of an 18 year old Billy?
<DeathStar> 6* The interrogation door is shut, as always
* Cassandra` kicks into the bag again.
<Marcus`> You wish. *he glances at the shut door, then knocks on it*
<SPoC> <Dias> No, I think that you wish.
<DeathStar> 6* No answer.
<Marcus`> Maybe if it were Kat. *he smiles at Dias and then glances at the door*
<DeathStar> <Door> ...
<SPoC> <Dias> If you've seen Erevis naked, you've seen Kat naked. 6He eyes his nails
<Kit> 6Chii re-enters the training room and glumly goes back to beating the stuffing out of a punching bag.
* Jennifer` looks at Dias and Marcus.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna holds the bag this time, "I said you were odd. The rest was refering to someone else."
* Marcus` moves to open it.
* SPoC tosses her empty bottle into the trash and she turns, leaving.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods to Jen. 1"Yo."
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens. Inside, on the other side of an energy field, is Warren Carmichael, scowling. It appears he's the one in the cell.
* Jennifer` smiles at Dias and nods back, she then looks over and blinks, seeing... her Dad locked up?
* Marcus` blinks and steps inside, to look at Warren. "Yo Dias. CHeck this out." He looks amused.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren crosses his arms, looking unamused.
<Jennifer`> "...Dopplegangers."
<DeathStar> <Warren> While you two play around, the doppleganger has escaped.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks in at the locked up Warren, than scratches his head. 1"If that is Warren, that's just sad."
<Marcus`> Come'on, do me next. *he motions*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches into his pocket, but apparantly he has no pain pills.
<Jennifer`> "Easy check."
<Jennifer`> "Computer, where is Warren?"
<DeathStar> <Computer> Warren Carmichael is currently inside Interrogation Room A.
* Jennifer` blinks a bit.
<Jennifer`> "Where is the prisoner?"
<DeathStar> <Computer> Unknown. Prisoner vanished 3 hours ago.
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? So Warren really got himself caught. Impressive. Well, not on Warren's part.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Marcus`> Let him out, then. Since clearly the computer is right and this is Warren.
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't know, I don't if I want to risk letting Warren out incase it really isn't Warren. Ya know.
* Marcus` glances at Dias. "That's a really good point."
* Jennifer` scratches her head a little. "Computer, where is Marcus Jones?"
<DeathStar> <Computer> Marcus Jones is in Interrogation Room A.
<Jennifer`> "Just checking."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at the two with a death look.
* Marcus` snorts. "Ok ok. Let him out. This is serious."
<SPoC> <Dias> If he's Warren, he'd know how to get out of there without our help. 6He nods.
<Marcus`> Damn Dias. That is another good point.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Perhaps he is in the doppleganger, then.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Dias.
<Jennifer`> "Computer, where is Dias?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Woh woh. Let's not go pointing fingers.
<Marcus`> ...*he punches Dias*
<SPoC> 6Dias scowls as he grabs his face painfully. 1"You asshole!"
<DeathStar> <Computer> Dias is in Interrogation Room A.
<Marcus`> Nah that's Dias. *he waves a hand*
<Jennifer`> "Guess we're all here."
<Marcus`> Then let him out, unless you're the doppelganger guy.
<Kit> 6Chii pauses from training, huffing. 1"Damn it's quiet today."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *cringes*
* Jennifer` looks for the controls.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hell no. 6He rubs his nose.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...there goes our peaceful day."
<DeathStar> 6* The controls are off to the side.
<Kit> 6Lilith peers between everyone training and heads out, likely to Raquel.
* Cassandra` pinches the bridge of her nose.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh?
<Cassandra`> You jinxed it.
<SPoC> <Dias> Why doesn't he just tell the computer to deactivate the controls?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Please, Jennifer. We need to find the doppleganger while we can.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gives her THE LOOK.
<Marcus`> Please?! Warren doesn't say please! HAH! *he points and laughs*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rolls his eyes.
<SPoC> <Dias> Bad Jen. JEN. BAD!
<DeathStar> <Warren> Would someone get Arakawa.
* Jennifer` gulps a bit and walks over to the console.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to Jen and whaps her across the head.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel is idly tidying up. Not knowing of the impending doom that Chii has brought upon them
<Marcus`> Why, because she blindly follows Warren? Psh. Anyone knows that.
* Jennifer` acks and holds her head, falling over.
<Kit> <Chii> Are you trying to say I'm a bad omen? If you are I swear I'll whack you one.
<DeathStar> <Warren> When I get out, Dias and Marcus, you're going to be cannon fodder.
<SPoC> 6Dias turns and looks at Warren. 1"Tell me something that only Warren would know."
<Jennifer`> "H-Hey that hurt!"
<SPoC> <Dias> We already are.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Even if I did that Dias, you wouldn't know. Because only I would know.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at him.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok, you're talking too much for Warren. I would've accepted a grunt.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Marcus`> Oh now he does it.
<Kit> 6Freyja waltzes into the room carrying a tray of eggrolls. 1"Lunch is ready!"
<Cassandra`> Murphy's law states that anything that cna go wrong, will go wrong.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Jennifer. Deactive those controls.
<Kit> <Chii> Who's Murphy?
<SPoC> <Dias> You know it's very possible that if the doppleganger takes a form the computer can't tell the difference.
<Marcus`> Look. She would know her own father, and she clearly isn't jumping to do it. So...
* Marcus` nods to Dias. "I had thought about that."
* Jennifer` gets up and sighs. "Fine, I know my dad?"
<Marcus`> Well if you don't, that's just pathetic.
<Jennifer`> "Warren, what did you give me for christmas?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Dude, I had to knock her on her ass...Wait, I got it Marcus. Watch this. 6He turns and stares at Jen, thinking dirty thoughts.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Warren throws up his hands. "Fuck."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns into Atticus and stares at them all.
<SPoC> 6Dias turns and look at Marcus. 1"Hah, no shockie shockie."
<Cassandra`> Murphy was...a grunt.
* Marcus` smiles. "Nice one Dias."
<Jennifer`> "Figured that would do it."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Clever girl.
<Marcus`> What's up buddy. *he glances at Atticus, giving him a smile*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Thought he was a pilot."
<Cassandra`> Grunt.
<SPoC> <Dias> Good thing I hit you, eh Jen? 6He wiggles his eyebrows at her.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh. I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus leans his face into the energy field, letting it zap him. "So, kids, how about you let me out so we can play a REAL game."
<Kit> 6Freyja chews on an eggroll. 1"I'm plenty happy making my own games, kiddo."
<Marcus`> Nah i'll pass. But you should pretend to be someone else it's kinda fun.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oooh, that's just creepy. 6He stares in awe at Atticus
<Jennifer`> "Nah. THat's fine, my necks only just healed."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> It's only funny... 6He turns into Marcus. "Until you look at your own self."
* Marcus` arches a brow. "I see a handsome man standing there."
<SPoC> <Dias> Dude, quick turn around so he can see his own ass. I want him to know how pathetic it is.
<DeathStar> <Marcus> Funny. I see someone who hides his own insecurities behind jokes.
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? What insecurities are though? If it's my ass, I swear I don't stuff my pants, Dias is a liar.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus presses his face against the field. "Tell me. Does it drive you nuts when the girls have their periods? The wolf in you must go nuts."
<SPoC> <Dias> Dude, why would you stuff your pants to make your ass look better? 6He stares at Marcus
<Kit> 6Freyja gulps down the last of the eggroll she was nibbling. 1"How crude."
* Marcus` snorts. "You're right. It does. All that blood. It's mind numbing."
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus runs his finger along the energy field, despite the pain. "You're amusingly predictable, Jones."
* Jennifer` watches quietly.
<SPoC> <Dias> Think his dick's bigger than yours?
<Marcus`> It's true. But then, since i'm predictable, you can tell me all these things that'll just make me cry right?
<DeathStar> <Marcus> Oh, you wouldn't cry. We both know that. 6* He blows a kiss at Marcus.
* SPoC moves along the hallway, her hands behind her back and her hair pulled into a pony tail
* Marcus` catches it and holds it to his heart. "No wonder I get to have sex with so many girls."
<SPoC> 6Dias snorts at that one
<DeathStar> <Marcus> It's true. How'd the last two girls go?
<Kit> <Freyja> The truth is out. They're both manwhores.
* Jennifer` pulls out a hairband and ties her hair back, arcing a brow. "They're weird."
<SPoC> <Dias> I take great offense to that. 6He snubs Freyja
<DeathStar> <Marcus> Why don't you step in, cutie, and I'll show you the Jones way of loving.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus winks at Freyja.
<Marcus`> Oh I would never wink at her. You've clearly lost your character.
<SPoC> <Dias> It's doggie style if you want to know. 6He waves with his hands
<Kit> <Freyja> Eh, if you're so smart or special or whatever, you should know that wouldn't phase me anyway.
* Kit offers the platter of eggrolls to Jennifer.
<DeathStar> <Marcus> Of course not. If anything phased you, you wouldn't be able to be on this team where everyone hates you. Even your own self.
<Marcus`> OUch. Go me. *he holds up a hand*
* Jennifer` blinks and munches an eggroll.
<Kit> <Freyja> I have my weaknesses, you're just a bad shot.
<DeathStar> <Marcus> I'm not aiming for your weaknesses. You're not worth the effort
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus his back on them and turns back into Atticus.
<SPoC> <Dias> Now I know why Warren spent so much time in here. This is kinda cool.
<Kit> <Freyja> Ooo." 6Waves her free hand.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> It's easier just to shove a bomb on you and blow you up, after all
<Marcus`> Isn't it? *he glances at Dias with a nod* I still didn't get all offended like I thought.
<Kit> <Freyja> Really. It only took Chad one shot.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> *laughs*
<SPoC> <Dias> You know how I always told you about that little lip twitch you do once in awhile? Did you see it finally?
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus presses his hands against the energy field. "So tell me. Why do you show up where you're not wanted? I'm curious."
<Marcus`> I only do that when I get a smell of your cologne.
<Jennifer`> "Oh yeah, S... Mr. Winters shot you."
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus gets bored and looks at the others, then takes a seat.
<Kit> 6Freyja quirks a brow at Jennifer. 1"Yes, yes."
* Jennifer` looks at Atticus.
<Marcus`> So Chief. *he tilts his head* Can you do like, naked girls and stuff?
<SPoC> <Dias> I bet he can't.
<Jennifer`> w/ho Kentari
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Why? Knocking up a 17 year old and getting turned down by the counselor ain't enough for you?
<Jennifer`> NRP: Ack!
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly turns to look at Jen. 1"EH?
<Jennifer`> NRP: Scratch that.
<Kit> 6Freyja wanders around, looking under the control panels and the likes.
* Jennifer` looks at Dias. "What?"
<Kit> <Freyja> One thing bothers me.
* Marcus` hmphs. "It's neat that you can retain our memories as well. But you'll know that I stuck with her even if I didn't want to be."
<SPoC> <Dias> Nevermind. 6He just looks at Freyja. 1"Yo, stay away from the controls
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Heh heh HA HA HA. Is that what you think?
<DeathStar> <Atticus> You would have left her the moment you could have.
<Kit> <Freyja> Where's Warren?
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Aw, are you worried about the General?
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus leans in. "Want to know a secret, Freyja?"
* Jennifer` looks at Atticus, then Marcus and shakes her head.
<Marcus`> Yeah, of course. I didn't want to be with her, but she had my children inside of her, so I had to be a man for a change!
<SPoC> <Dias> Of course she is, she wants to have his babies
<Kit> <Freyja> Depends on the price.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Free of charge.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Warren finds you attractive. I think he likes it that you lost your man like he lost his woman.
<Kit> 6Freyja peers skeptically. 1"Uh-huh. Nothing's free."
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly looks at Atticus. 1"...Weird."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Fucked up.
<SPoC> <Dias> Amen to that
<Marcus`> It's probably why she came back. SHe got a sniff of his hormones or something freaky like that.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> So, let me out?
<Marcus`> Oh ok. *he laughs*
* Jennifer` blinks a bit and stares at Freyja.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus looks at Marcus, standing up. "So, who's your dream girl?"
<Kit> 6Freyja reverts from the brunette to her normal pale self and eyes upward. 1"Computer, is Warren Carmichael still present?"
<DeathStar> <Computer> Warren Carmichael is not present in the base at this time.
<Marcus`> Now that's a good question. *he taps his chin* Show me something asian.
<Kit> <Freyja> Interesting. Not often he leaves.
<SPoC> <Dias> Psst, Billy. 6He leans in towards Atticus
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus smiles. "But Miss. McCormick isn't Asian."
<Marcus`> I like Red heads too. *he taps his chin* Oh i'm not too picky.
* Jennifer` shakes her head a little. "Who's the kid here again...?"
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Clearly not.
<Marcus`> Oh a redheaded asian girl. That would be sweet.
<SPoC> <Dias> Those don't exist.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus turns around. He's a six year old Billy. Naked. "Like what you see?"
<Marcus`> Aw now that's just crude.
<SPoC> 6Dias stumbles back, covering his eyes. 1"Gah, that's wrong."
* Jennifer` shakes her head. "THat's... wrong on so many levels..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stretches. "You don't like them this young, Jones?"
<Marcus`> Of course not. I'm not a freak.
* Jennifer` eyes the possible pedophile warily now, then nods reassured.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, it's a shame. I mean. When's the last time anyone's see dear Billy? Since her momma yelled at her.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Billy's gone?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Yes, she is, likely.
<Jennifer`> "Beats me, I was in bed."
* Marcus` glances at Freyja. "What? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Told you you should've been nicer to her Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *runs her hand along her chest* Oh, Marcus, when I grow up, will you ride me like a wild stallion like you did Angela?
* Jennifer` makes an icky face.
<Kit> <Freyja> Computer, when the prisoner 'vanished' 3 hours ago, who else was not present as opposed to twelve hours previously?"
<Marcus`> Sure. *he waves a hand, uninterested. He eyes Freyja*
<DeathStar> <Computer> Warren Carmichael and Alpha Cheryl both left about 3.5 hours ago.
<Marcus`> Computer. Where is Billy?
<Kit> <Freyja> And 'Billy' was not present already, correct?
<SPoC> <Dias> Is he still a naked 6 year old?
<DeathStar> <Computer> Cannot locate or determine when the being called Billy left.
<Marcus`> No. *he tells Dias*
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna leans against the energy field. "MY daughter ran away?"
<DeathStar> <Setsuna> I'll be sure to have some emotional response when I realize it. A few days from now.
<Kit> <Freyja> Something potentially dangerous enough to take Cheryl, but not inform us. Odd.
* Marcus` eyes Freyja. "Why didn't you tell me Billy left."
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna presses her naked body against the energy field for Dias.
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly lowers his hand then looks at the naked Setsuna. 1"Sweet."
<Kit> <Freyja> It wasn't exactly at the forefront of my mind, Marcus. It's not as if it is abnormal for her to disappear. She gone more often than I am shopping, nor has she been your top priority as of late.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yet still unsettling since I know your a dude.
<DeathStar> <Setsuna> I can still fuck like a woman. IF you're interested. Just hit the open button.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. Then glances at Atticus. "So where is she?"
<Cassandra`> ...Setsuna...have you seen Billy around?
<SPoC> <Dias> Really? 6He goes to open the door then stops. 1"Not."
<DeathStar> <Setsuna> A shame. You wouldn't believe the things I can do with this body . Just ask Cassie.
<Jennifer`> "Kay, acting like a whore isn't going to work Atticus."
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer's mother turns to look at Jen. "Then what will, Jenny?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Seems more effective than his previous methods.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...haven't been able to find her. She's too damn good at not being found. What happened between you two?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Look Atticus, as much as I feel that all woman should know my embrace, I'm just not that dumb. Close, but not that dumb.
* Jennifer` gets a cold look and looks down at the floor. "Don't do that!"
<DeathStar> <Jennifer's Mother> What's wrong, honey?
<Kit> 6Freyja narrows her eyes slightly and her tail bristles. 1"...I wonder if I should see what his innards look like since he seems to enjoy viewing ours."
<Jennifer`> "You're not her, she's dead, that's sick!'
<Marcus`> Atticus. Tell me where Billy is. I may even make you a deal.
<DeathStar> <Jennifer's Mother> Baby, I'm not dead. I'm right here.
<Cassandra`> The whole age-switch thing was getting to me so I went out for some alone time to clear my head...Billy took it the wrong way when I snapped at her.
* Jennifer` clenches her fists. "Cut that out!"
<SPoC> 6Dias studies Jen's Mom, nodding in approval
<DeathStar> <Jennifer's Mother> *holds out her arms, as if to hug Jennifer* Why are you so angry with me?
<Kit> 6Freyja puts a hand on Jennifer's shoulder. 1"I wonder, does it have a soul to speak of?"
* SPoC steps into the interrogation room with the open door. 1"What is going on in here?"
* Jennifer` keeps looking down. Shaking with anger. "Atticus, cut that crap out now!"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...right. Billy with hurt feelings. That explains some things."
* Marcus` crosses his arms, "It's impressive, here's SPoC. Find out her real name, will ya?" He motions.
<DeathStar> <Jennifer's Mother> *cries*
* SPoC looks at Marcus then the crying woman and then at Jen. 1"I see."
<Jennifer`> "C-Cut that out..."
<DeathStar> 6* The woman keeps crying, looking deeply hurt.
<Cassandra`> Yeah...I couldn't find her after that...then the whole fight with the shapeshifter.
<Kit> 6Freyja turns her head to SPoC. 1"Warren and Cheryl are missing. Atticus is attempting to use the time to escape, but failing in doing so, is being a nuissance out of boredom."
<SPoC> How long ago did the two disappear?
<Jennifer`> "Stop it! She died in this reality and I'm not getting back to my old one!"
<Kit> <Freyja> Three and a half hours.
<Marcus`> And Billy is missing, and this shit won't tell me where.
<SPoC> They most likely left together than.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus uncovers his face. "Sucks."
<Kit> <Freyja> That is my assumption.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus turns to stare at Dias now, a smile on his face.
<SPoC> Than I see no reason for panic.
* Jennifer` glares at him.
<SPoC> 6Dias picks his nose, eyeing at a booger on his finger
<Marcus`> Wait. Are you panicing?
<DeathStar> 6* Caesura stands there before Dias, looking all dead, her skin peeling as if caught in an explosion. "Why couldn't you save me?"
<Marcus`> Guess you're not. *he notes, then sees Caes and frowns slightly*
<SPoC> 6Dias stiffens, taking a step back.
* Jennifer` looks down, that sight making her feel ill.
<Jennifer`> "Atticus... god damn that's just disgusting."
<DeathStar> 6* Caesura touches the field, it zapping flecks of skin off her hand. "Why? I trusted you."
<Kit> 6Freyja turns back to Atticus, rather than wearing a white dress, a white and red kimono and red hakama, holding up a round bead. She sits down crosslegged and holds the bead between her hands and fingers. She studies him through the bead's reverse reflection. 1"I think I'll just have a look, since Warren's out."
<Marcus`> Jennifer. You're just fueling him. Stop reacting. *he glances at Freyja, shifting in her way* You will do nothing without Warren's authorization.
<SPoC> 6Dias clenches his fist visibly, his eyes focused intently on her
<DeathStar> <Caesura> I missed you so much.......so much Dias..
<DeathStar> <Caesura> Your name was the last word I could ever speak before they violated me.
* Jennifer` closes her eyes and tries to calm down.
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks, waving one hand dismissingly at Marcus. 1"I've already peeked at you a bit, no sense going back there. C'mon, I just want to study him a bit."
<SPoC> 6Dias growls and turns, kicking a wall next to him. He turns, moving out, obviously pissed.
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja's dead lover sits down next, staring at Freyja. "What do you hope to find, Freyja?"
* SPoC watches Dias step out
* Marcus` eyes Freyja. "You can leave anytime. And don't you dare 'peek' and me ever again."
* Kit stares at the rather normal-looking guy in her own cold manner. Clearly-affected but still knowing enough to not fall into it completely. 1"Anything interesting, of course. You're so boring from this perspective."
<DeathStar> <Man> You know. There's someone on this team that could ressurect me.
<Jennifer`> "Freyja, he's playing with your head, ignore him."
<Marcus`> No. He's right. There is.
<DeathStar> <Man> Am I, Freyja? Am I?
<Kit> Well, he's not lying, necessarily, but he is trying to play with me.
<Kit> NRP: GRAH.
<Marcus`> But it's best to let the dead remain dead.
<DeathStar> <Man> Infact, Chii told Warren to never tell you who could do it.
<DeathStar> <Man> But I miss you, Freyja. You'd do anything to bring me back, wouldn't you?
* Jennifer` scratches her head, "What the hell is he even talking about?"
<SPoC> 6Dias moves down the hallway, both his fists clenches tightly
<SPoC> Who is this man? I do not recognize him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses as Dias passes her. "Dias...? Are you okay?"
* Marcus` crosses his arms, glancing at Jennifer. "Don't worry about it."
<SPoC> <Dias> No, not at all. 6He stops looking at her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... What happened?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks concerned.
<Kit> 6Freyja huffs. 1"He's talking about Chii."
<SPoC> 6Dias lets out a puff of air as he unclenches his fists. 1"Atticus."
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja's bloodied father stands up. "Would you bring me back as well, daughter?"
<SPoC> Why is he a bloodied man now? 6She titls her head at Freyja, obviously intrigued
<Kit> <Freyja> Hah, no way in hell. Even if it was free.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh. 6* She steps over and gives Dias a hug. "You shouldn't pay attention to him."
<DeathStar> <Freyja's Father> You know. When I killed your mother, that was the happiest fucking moment of my life.
<Jennifer`> "This guy is a case."
<SPoC> 6Dias glances at Kat. 1"I know I shouldn't, it's just that he turned into Caesura."
<DeathStar> <Freyja's Father> I wish I could have bashed her fucking skull in some more.
<Kit> <Freyja> Try again. He was a workaholic and drank too much, but it was only shock.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, honey.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus smiles at Freyja. "You hope."
<SPoC> 6Dias slumps against the wall, both his hand grabbing his hair in frustration
<Kit> 6Freyja crosses her arms. 1"I know. I have too many memories for you to interpret them quickly enough. Nice try, though. You're one of the few I've seen evade my labyrinth so flawlessly."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds Dias' arm.
<SPoC> I do not understand. 6Steps steps up further. Beside Marcus now.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> I'm merely a mirror, Freyja. What you see is what you get.
<Kit> 6Freyja holds down an eyelid. 1"Then you should know I'm a momma's girl anyway."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> You're something alright.
* Jennifer` unclenches her fists finally.
* SPoC looks over at Marcus. 1"What is a momma's girl?"
<Marcus`> Someone that prefers to be around their mother.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Tell you what. I'll tell you who can ressurect your dead lover, if you click off that force field.
<Marcus`> I don't see the point of that though. I liked my father.
<SPoC> <Dias> I-He's right tho. I could've saved her. 6He bounces his head against the wall lightly
<Kit> <Freyja> I wouldn't sacrifice Chii for something like that.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dias. 6* She turns him to face her. "You did everything you could."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> She'd sacrifice you if it suited her
<SPoC> I see. 6She looks at Atticus now, studying him
<Kit> 6Freyja actively seems agitated now. 1"So what? That's her decision. Giving up something I have now to gain something from my past is meaningless."
<SPoC> <Dias> I could've done more.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> *laughs* And yet she actively hides info from you that could lead to your man's return.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> She scorns you. She HATES you.
<Jennifer`> "OH please."
<Kit> <Freyja> Whom do you hate?
<DeathStar> <Atticus> I don't hate anyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus smiles.
<Jennifer`> "Riiiight."
<Marcus`> He hates us all.
<Kit> <Freyja> Huh. You seem like a screaming little child to me.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> I love you, Marcus. Just like your momma loved your daddy.
<SPoC> He looks like a full grown adult.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dias. That's 20/20. We all think we could have done more after the fact.
* Marcus` tchs. "Fuck."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> She sure did. Every guy she could find but him.
<Marcus`> Looks like you finally found something. Congratulations, now everyone knows my mother is a whore.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> I'm sure your girlfriend would love to counsel you on it.
<SPoC> <Dias> That sucks ya know. I got stuck with being color blind instead of crappy vision.
<Kit> <Freyja> Are you still objecting to my studies, Marcus?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to decide if that was a joke.
<SPoC> 6That was a joke.
<Marcus`> Yes. *he says simply to Freyja* I don't want anyone to know about my mom, so those in this room, don't repeat it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "Well. It makes you unique."
<Jennifer`> "Whatever."
<Kit> <Freyja> It's none of my business to repeat what I know of others.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Even if she does listen in on everyone's business.
* Jennifer` sits back, watching Atticus, thinking about all the ways she could break his face in.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> *smiles at Jennifer*
* Jennifer` glares at him.
<Marcus`> And snoop into their lives. *he eyes Freyja with dislike, before glancing back to Atticus* How desperate are you?
<SPoC> 6Dias rolls his eyes. 1"I thought unique was bad.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> You could always lower the field and try.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nonsense.
<Jennifer`> "I'm sure I'll get my chance in the future."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Unlikely.
<Kit> <Freyja> Pity." 6She puts her focus bead away.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus looks at Marcus, then shrugs. "Depends."
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm starting to wonder if he's like Chii to a degree. He's so eager to taunt us, it would be no surprise if he fed off it in some way.
<Marcus`> It's why you show no emotion, not matter how much you would like to rip his fucking head off.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Showing doesn't really mean I'm not feeding. If I'm Chii.
<Kit> <Freyja> What he said.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Hey, Marcus, want to hear about the time Freyja and Chii got a little TOO close?
<Marcus`> Wonderful. Just wonderful. *he pauses* That's pretty gross actually.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> I mean, I've heard of masturbation, but whoaaa.
<SPoC> <Dias> So unique is in now? 6He looks at Kat.
<Jennifer`> "God you're gross."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I like to think I'm pretty unique.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> I'm not the one who did it.
<Marcus`> He's not the one who...aw man.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> And guess what. Katrina didn't stop them. 6* He winks at MArcus.
<Jennifer`> "You're reveling in it."
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "Yeah right."
<SPoC> <Dias> Can't argue that fact.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Ask Freyja.
<Marcus`> Kat's not that fucking gross.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus looks at Freyja, smiling
* SPoC whistles
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Tell the boy the truth.
* Marcus` glances at Freyja.
<Kit> 6Freyja shifts her eyes to Marcus, staring blankly.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> There's a reason Katrina's not in here before me. Mirror, Mirror, on the wall. Who's the most fucked up of them all?
<Jennifer`> "If my mother was the best you got... I must be the most sane here."
* Marcus` glances at SPoC. "Don't let either of them fuck with him. We don't want to hurt anything Warren is trying to accomplish." He steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives him a reassurring smile. "Listen, Dias. You're a good guy. And you've saved us all dozens of times."
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus shouts out. "YOU KNOW I'M TELLING THE TRUTH."
<SPoC> 6Dias nods to that, not able to deny that one.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So hold onto that.
<Jennifer`> "PSh..."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> All he has to do is ask her.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus looks at Jennifer.
* Marcus` shuts the door behind him with a slam, he storms down the hallway.
<Kit> <Freyja> Honestly, I don't see what there was to accomplish with that.
<Jennifer`> "You know none of us are gonna let you out."
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok, holding onto it...
<DeathStar> <Atticus> You don't understand? Now Marcus is repelled by Katrina McCormick
<Jennifer`> "And?"
<Kit> 6Freyja rises to her feet, not bothering to shift forms or clothing. 1"Jennifer, it's actually best to just leave him be, unless you find this entertaining."
<Jennifer`> "This is world shattering?"
<DeathStar> <Atticus> I'll enjoy the fact they'll never get together now.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Take your victories where you can, kid.
<SPoC> Why would they not get together anymore?
<Kit> <Freyja> Because men can be petty. But hopefully Marcus is above that.
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Incest is gross.
<SPoC> I see. Marcus and Kat are related.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Anything I can do for you, Dias?
<DeathStar> <Atticus> Uh. Sure.
<Kit> <Freyja> No, they are not. He is referring Chii and myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Atticus taps his chin. "A shame that the dog didn't show up before Freyja begins to rip me apart."
<DeathStar> <Atticus> That would have been fun.
* Marcus` walks up to Dias and Kat. "Get up." He tells Dias. "Come with me."
* SPoC looks at Freyja than at Atticus. 1"Oh. I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at Marcus in confusion
<SPoC> 6Dias goes to say something obviously witty to Kat than stops looking at Marcus. 1"Uh, why?"
* Jennifer` sighs a bit. "You people serve Dark Ones, it's not like we don't already expect you to be twisted."
<DeathStar> 6* A man sits there, looking at SPoC. "Hey, sweetie. Can you let me out?"
<Marcus`> Just follow me. *he moves to walk around them, moving down the hallway*
<Kit> 6Freyja moves toward the door. 1"Jennifer, are you staying after all?"
* SPoC blinks, staring at the man. 1"I do not understand this. Why are you here?"
<DeathStar> <Man> They captured me. You have to let me out.
<Jennifer`> "It's Atticus, the prisoner SPoC."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina frowns in concern.
<Jennifer`> "Don't fall for something like that."
<SPoC> 6Dias sighs and shrugs at Kat, moving after him
* Marcus` moves into his room, waiting for Dias to walk in before he shuts the door.
<SPoC> I was told that you were KIA on Regalus V.
<DeathStar> <Man> It was a lie. Warren Carmichael and these people are lying to you.
<DeathStar> <Man> It's me.
<Jennifer`> "SPoC."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up, and moves off with a frown. She steps into the training room
<SPoC> If you are a prisoner than you must have done something bad. 6She bites her upper lip lightly as she stares at the man.
<Kit> 6Freyja shakes her head and exits the interrogation room, moving down the hall with a grin, yet blank look.
<Jennifer`> "Don't even talk to him like he's whoever you think he is. That's a shapeshifter."
<DeathStar> <Man> I didn't. They're the bad guys. They're evil.
<SPoC> 6Dias steps into his room, eyeing him. 1"Ok, so seriously. What was that all about?"
<DeathStar> <Man> You KNOW me.
* SPoC looks over at Freyja then Jen. 1"I do not know about Freyja but I do know that Jennifer is not evil."
* Marcus` glances at Dias, then grabs his matress and presses it against the door, he doesn't want anyone listening in. He turns and glances at Dias. "Katrina."
<DeathStar> <Man> She's being deceived. She doesn't know the truth
<SPoC> <Dias> What? So you're mad because I'm talking to her?
<Marcus`> I can't ever be with her. Never. *he says quickly* She's disgusting, fucking gross. I mean...*he shudders*
* SPoC takes a step back. 1"Warren is my commanding officer now. I will have to talk to him first about this.
<Kit> 6Chii peers over at a new entry. 1"Yo, Kat."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey, Chii.
<DeathStar> <Man> ... *hangs his head* I can't believe you would do this to me. Not after everything we were to each other.
* Jennifer` sighs a bit. Staring in disbelief, this is the woman that trained her?
<SPoC> <Dias> Uh, she is? 6He looks at him skeptically.
* Marcus` closes his eyes, obviously gathering his thoughts. "The Chii thing, it was pretty sick, right?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah I suppose.
<Marcus`> What would you think about Chii and Freyja fucking each other?
<SPoC> That is not fair Clive.
<SPoC> <Dias> ....Hmmm. 6He crosses his arms, actually thinking on that one.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes, watching Dias.
<DeathStar> <Clive> Well, I don't think it's fair that you don't trust me, Janet!
<Jennifer`> "Janet?"
* SPoC looks down at the floor, her normal soldier stance gone, a timid looking woman there now. 1"You left me Clive."
* Jennifer` looks at SPoC
<DeathStar> <Clive> I had no choice. But here I am not. Just...let me out. Please.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well it's not like I've never done it with sisters at the same time before.
<DeathStar> 6* His voice sounds remorseful.
<Jennifer`> "SPOC."
<Jennifer`> "Don't listen to him."
* Marcus` stares at Dias. "Get out." he throws the matress aside.
<SPoC> <Dias> What?!
<Marcus`> Get out. *he steps to the side, turning his back to Dias*
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok seriously. If your gonna freak out on me, tell me why.
<Marcus`> Katrina watched Chii and Freyja go at it, probably to see if Chii was doing all of those techniques that she showed her.
<SPoC> I-I am under Carmichael's command, I am sorry Clive. 6She bows her head deeply and turns, moving out quickly
<DeathStar> <Clive> JANET! PLEASE!
<Jennifer`> "Oh cut it out Atticus."
<Kit> <Chii> So what brings you here, Kat?
<SPoC> 6Dias pauses, staring at Marcus oddly. 1"You're serious."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. I don't know. Had no where else to go. 6* She peers at Cassandra and Setsuna frozen in place.
* Jennifer` sounds disgusted, though with who, it's hard to tell.
<Marcus`> No. I'm fucking joking. Freyja didn't deny it.
<SPoC> <Dias> ...Was that just a double negative?
* Marcus` eyes Dias. "Why would Atticus lie when the truth hurts so much more? It happened."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What are those two doing?
<Kit> <Chii> Um, training originally.
<DeathStar> <Clive> Well, I guess it's time
<SPoC> <Dias> Personally, that's a little creepy. But I mean, you can't tell me you haven't wanted or have done sisters before.
* Jennifer` eyes him dangerously. "Time for what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Clive suddenly rams his face into the energy field
<Marcus`> No. *he looks at Dias* I never have.
<Kit> 6Chii slams her weight forward into an offset punch to knock the bag back, turns and drives her inside foot into it, hitting it upward, plants her feet and backflips to hit it two more times, her ending point always seeming to be when it hits the ceiling.
<SPoC> <Dias> I guess I really am unique.
* Jennifer` pulls out her gun and charges it, moving for the door. "Quit it now."
* SPoC stops outside in the hallway, hard hands clenched together tightly
<Kit> <Freyja> Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* CLive keeps his head in the energy field. He takes a piece of metal. "Tell Warren I'm sorry we didn't get to do that interrogation thing. Oh, and tell Chii - sorry, no soul to get, since you weren't ehre when I died."
<DeathStar> 6* Clive jams it into his own skull as he's frying his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks over. "Yes?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Marcus knows.
<Jennifer`> "Computer, diable the prisoner?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Marcus knows what?
<Jennifer`> *disable
<Marcus`> That's something that just gets under my skin. So I don't know if it's a normal thing or not. I just find it disgusting.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Unable to comply. This base does not have such functions
<Kit> <Freyja> About... the night between us.
<Jennifer`> "Can the room lock and keep him in if we turn off the field?"
<DeathStar> 6* Clive twitches as he's fried
<DeathStar> <Computer> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Computer> However, the prisoner's life signs are negative.
* SPoC snaps out of it as she hears the computer talking in the interogration room. She quickly moves in
<Jennifer`> "Goddamnit..."
<DeathStar> 6* She would witness Clive's last fry!
<Jennifer`> "SHUT THE FIELD!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Computer turns off the force field. Clive falls onto the ground, his head smoking
<SPoC> <Dias> Don't you think your being kinda..I don't know judgemental?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh. ... Oh. 6* She pauses, as if processing that. "I see."
* Marcus` turns to eyes Dias. "Oh hmm, I guess so. Silly me, for thinking that incest is bad. That incest is gross."
* Jennifer` keeps her gun trained on him, walking closer to check him.
* SPoC pulls her gun out. 1"Stay back Jen."
* Jennifer` steps back.
<DeathStar> 6* The body reverts back to Atticus' body
<Kit> <Freyja> I thought you should know, since he seems to find it far more repulsive than one might expect.
<Jennifer`> "I dunno if he's really dead or faking it."
<Jennifer`> "He can change life signs... so..."
<SPoC> That is why you should not go near him.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... That explains his feelings. 6* She sighs.
* Jennifer` moves near the door.
<Jennifer`> "Computer, is the prisoner alive?"
<DeathStar> <Computer> *repeats what it just fucking said*
<SPoC> <Dias> Hey hey, I'm just saying. 6He holds his hands up.
* Jennifer` sighs, she was honestly hoping for something different.
<Kit> <Chii> Wait, how'd he find out? You didn't tell him!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her face and walks out of the training room
<Kit> <Freyja> No, Atticus is quite the people person.
* Jennifer` grabs her comms. "...Chii, get down to the interregation room."
<SPoC> We will take precautions. Let us seal the body into the room.
* Marcus` rubs his face. "You can't tell me that I shouldn't be reacting this way."
<Kit> 6Freyja and Chii gaze upward, and Freyja breaks off. Chii grumbles. "1What the hell?" 6And makes her way toward the room.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Cassandra Arakawa. As second in command, you should be informed that the prisoner Atticus died at 14:03 hours.
<SPoC> 6Dias shrugs. 1"I'm not telling you anything. I'm just saying, is something like this really worth throwing a good friendship away for?
<DeathStar> <Computer> Have a nice day, and remember: Betas are your friends.
<Jennifer`> "He also bloody vanished 3 times, we'll check manually thanks."
<Kit> 6Chii leans in the interrogation room doorway. 1"...What do you wa-- what the fuck is that!?"
<SPoC> There is no point in checking physically.
<Cassandra`> ...what?! *runs out of the training room and to the holding area*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...what the hell."
<SPoC> I believe that he is dead.
<Jennifer`> "THat's the prisoner. Can you feel out souls or something like that?"
<Kit> <Chii> That... That's the doppleganger!?
<Jennifer`> "Yes."
<Jennifer`> "Is it alive or dead?"
* SPoC looks at Chii. 1"Yes, where have you been?
<Kit> 6Chii punches the doorframe. 1"What the hell happened?!"
<Kit> <Chii> It's fucking dead, are you retarded?
* Cassandra` arrives at the holding area...
<Jennifer`> "He fried his own head off."
<Cassandra`> Ok, someone has some explaining to do.
<Jennifer`> "On the energy shielding."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *idly goes to check on the computer, since Cass is dealing with the crisis... just to make sure it's the regular computer insanity, and not anything dangerous*
<SPoC> Atticus formed a metal spike and inserted it into his skull. He then stuck his face into the energy shield
* Marcus` grits his teeth. "I just can't understand why she did that."
<DeathStar> 6* The Computer is working fine. This IS an old Beta Facility, after all.
<Kit> <Chii> That bastard! Now... Now I have to find new prey all over again! Gragh!
<SPoC> <Dias> It's Kat, she's always been a wild one.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna needed to be sure! Damn betas keep getting loose.
<Cassandra`> And why are there so many people here?
<SPoC> He is dead. How can he be a bastard.
<Jennifer`> "Everyone came to see the freakshow."
<Kit> 6Chii glares at Cassandra and Jennifer. 1"You called me here!"
<DeathStar> <Computer> Warren Carmichael and Alpha Cheryl have returned to the base.
<Jennifer`> "I wanted you to see if his soul was still present."
<Marcus`> But there is a line Dias. That's just...even if I could just deal with it. I know just as soon as I see her, I'll get the image in my mind and then bam, she'll feel my emotions or whatever.
<Cassandra`> Who authorized everyone to show up?
<Kit> 6Chii stomps over and repeatedly kicks the body. 1"Just -- had-- to-- have-- the last-- laugh-- didn't you?!'
<Jennifer`> "No one, Dias and Marcus wanted to see him so they went in, I followed, so did other people."
* SPoC moves over and grabs Chii, quickly flipping her away from the body.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna goes to meet Warren and... hint him in the direction of the bad news, while giving herself time to get away.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks along, holding a datapad. Cheryl walking behind him. He stares as Setsuna ninja appears in front of him.
<Jennifer`> "Is the energy shield always on like that?"
<Kit> 6Chii lands on her feet, swaying. 1"Gr..."
<Cassandra`> This isn't a movie theater. You can't just walk in to see a damned show.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Hey boss, how was the trip?"
<Jennifer`> "Then why were they able to?"
<Jennifer`> "Who left the door unlocked/"
<Jennifer`> ?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Successful. I believe we have a scanner to locate shapeshifters. I plan to test it on the prisoner.
<Cassandra`> Do you rob a house because someone left the front door unlocked?
* SPoC steps away from the body and turns, eyeing Chii. 1"It is not sociable to beat a dead horse."
* Jennifer` looks at her, wondering why she's the one being scolded for this.
<Kit> 6Chii calms, staring at SPoC. 1"Wow, you're.. actually learning."
<Cassandra`> Anyone else have any explanation?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Ah... well... you should find out if it works RIGHT away."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Why?
<SPoC> <Dias> No one ever said life was easy man. But you should be the better man and tell her what you think of it but that you'll do your best not to let it ruin anything.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...because if it needs a living speciment, we might be out of luck."
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... ....
<SPoC> That is what Katrina says.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a vicodin, and begins to move in the direction of the interrogation room. He activates his datapad, hoping to get a scan
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna follows at a safe distance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there. "Do I even want to know?"
<Cassandra`> This outfit needs some discipline... *pinches the bridge of her nose*
* Jennifer` rubs the back of her head. "He fried his face off."
<SPoC> No, I believe he electrocuted himself Jennifer.
<Kit> <Chii> Um, you think SPoC is undisciplined, Cass?
<Jennifer`> "...Well he did something that cause himself to die with his own containment field."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters the interrogation room. He eyes his scanner, then the body, then the scanner.
<Cassandra`> I was talkign about in general.
* SPoC looks up at Warren. 1"Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks off the scanner calmly.
* Marcus` sighs. "I know. I know. I should probably go talk to her."
* Jennifer` looks over at her Dad and sighs a bit, stressed and tired, she walks over, away from the angry looking, irresponsible cyborg.
<SPoC> <Dias> Good. 6He smacks marcus across the back. 1"Be an adult."
* Marcus` winces. "Yeah that's something I hear from you alot." He groans.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Someone do an autospy on he body and dispose of it
<DeathStar> 6* He walks out
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pokes her head in and eyes the dead Atticus, and whistles. "How the hell did you guys manage that?"
* Jennifer` follows after him.
<SPoC> <Dias> Right, so you should take it seriosuly when I say it that.
<Jennifer`> "He did it to himself."
* Marcus` stands up. "Clean this mess up." He motions and steps out, moving down the hallway.
<Kit> <Chii> I didn't! The fucker outed me a soul!
<SPoC> He was with Jennifer when it happened. 6she looks at Cheryl
<SPoC> 6Dias stares at the mess and groans
<Kit> 6Chii suddenly looks ready to sob. 1"Cheryl! I want to drink the night away!"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks to Warren, "Did it work?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks toward his office
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
* Jennifer` moved off with Warren.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *eyes the body, then Chii, then Cass* Who can do an autospy?
* Marcus` comes up to Katrina's door and knocks.
<SPoC> I can perform it. 6She looks at cheryl
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...bugger has damn good timing. He was alive five min before you got back."
<Cassandra`> There's our volunteer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then he's all yours.
* SPoC bows then turns, moving to pick Atticus up
<Jennifer`> "He was planning on it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "Wow. Only gone for 4 hours.'
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *she walks out, shaking her head*
<Cassandra`> I'll accompany you in case he's somehow playing dead.
<Kit> 6Chii stalks Cheryl, proclaiming woes.
<SPoC> 6Dias flips the bed over completely than nods to himself. He steps outside
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts and steps into his office, setting the datapad down. He eyes his monitors, rewinding to watch what happened.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters her room and hands over a bottle for Chii. She hates woes. It creeps her out
* Jennifer` takes a seat, not needing to watch with a first hand perspective on it.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "If he could tell Warren was here before the computer told us, then we havve other problems."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door, staring at Marcus cooly.
<Kit> <Chii> Man, who the hell's worth hunting for a soul now?
<Jennifer`> "I don't think he knew like that."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm sure we'll find some loser for you
<Kit> 6Chii upturns the bottle, guzzling.
<Jennifer`> "He was citing things from peoples memories."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the monitors. "We cannot dismiss that possibility."
<Kit> 6Chii almost sprays. Almost. 1"Some... L-Loser?"
<Kit> 6Chii looks to Cheryl, her eyes watering.
<Jennifer`> "He also read my thoughts."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, people like Atticus are losers.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves down the hallway, his hands behind his head
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Did anyone in that room know when Warren would be back?"
<Jennifer`> "At least I think he did."
* SPoC carries Atticus body out and moves towards the medbay
<Jennifer`> "Not me and I was the only one in there when he offed himself."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Because... if he could read Warren's thoughts before he got here? That's a BIG problem."
<Marcus`> So...I heard about the You, Chii, Freyja thing and I think it's gross. But, well that's my opinion and I don't want it to come between our friendship.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I didn't tell anyone so he wouldn't know.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that so?
<Jennifer`> "Dias and Marcus thought he was Warren at one point, even."
<Kit> <Chii> I... I ... Well." 6She gulps more. 1"...I want to make it mean something. Worthwhile."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches Atticus kill himself, and he sits down in his seat.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh.
<Marcus`> Yeah. So that's that. *he rubs the back of his neck* Just giving you a heads up, so that you don't hear that I freaked out or something.
* Cassandra` follows Spoc to the medbay.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But you did freak out.
<Jennifer`> "He screwed with everyone... even J--- SPoC."
* Marcus` shrugs. "Incest is one thing that I don't find funny."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not laughing. 6* She shuts her door.
* Marcus` knocks on her door again.
<DeathStar> 6* No answer.
* Marcus` keeps knocking. "Come'on Katrina, I can do this all day."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Go away, Marcus. I know how you feel about it and me. And I don't want to be around you.
* SPoC steps into medbay. She tosses the body onto a table.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Any other crisises I should know about? 6* He asks Jennifer and Setsuna.
<Jennifer`> "Yeah..."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Not that I've... what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at her.
* Cassandra` goes into the medbay as well and stands guard.
<Jennifer`> "I'm pretty sure parts of the team will be at each others throats now."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I meant real crisises.
<Jennifer`> "Oh well... no."
<Marcus`> No, Kat. I want to talk about it. Yes, I think it is disgusting and I don't know why you did that, but it's really not my business, right? So talk to me. Let's just get this out of the way so we can go back to being friends.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door, staring at him. "No. What I do in my personal life is my thing. And I don't have to talk about it or justify what I did."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good.
* Marcus` crosses his arms. "You really don't. But we're friends, we should be able to take a situation like this and talk it through. Dias was right when he said that I can't let this ruin a good friendship, and believe I don't."
<SPoC> Arawaka. Please removes the corspes clothes while I prepare myself. 6She steps back, moving off to get the necessary tools
<Kit> 6Freyja leans in the office. 1"Well, Billy is missing again. Marcus seemed to think this time was special."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't want to talk about it. If you have a problem with it, Marcus, then you can work through it. By yourself
<DeathStar> 6* Warren raises a brow slightly, glancing at Setsuna.
<Cassandra`> Fun times. *goes about undressing Atticus...assuming the clothes aren't part of his body too*
* Jennifer` looks at Setsuna too.
<DeathStar> 6* They probably are. I bet it'll be gross when you pull it off and it turns to flesh dead skin
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...she and Cass had an incident with that unusual situation a few days ago. I haven't been able to find her."
<Jennifer`> "...You didn't think of that as a Crisis...? Aren't you her mom?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do you want time off to locate her?
<Cassandra`> This is gross...
<Ariel> Setsuna> "A crisis for me and a crisis for Warren are two different things."
* Marcus` watches Katrina, carefully before speaking. "Alright. So did I ever apologize for getting drunk and acting a fool?" he changes the subject.
<Kit> <Freyja> Our personal crisis become his when we let them interfere with our judgements and actions.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What? No.
<SPoC> What is gross? 6She steps out from a side room, pushing a tray with numerous cutting tools.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Setsuna, waiting to see if she needs time off.
<Marcus`> Well I'm sorry. I'm sure you had plenty other things to do, and I basically ruined that.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It was fine. I didn't mind.
<Cassandra`> His clothes are made of his own skin...
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...from a team perspective, this falls below people trying to kill each other. But... if there is the opertunity, I'd like to go search for her."
* Marcus` smiles slightly, "I realize that my maturity goes from 6ish to like 2ish whenever I get drunk, so i'm sorry you had to see me like that."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Go ahead.
<SPoC> Hmm...I will be sure to make note of this. Did it come off easily? 6She steps up the body, looking over at her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Like I said. I didn't mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at the floor. She really seems twitchy right now.
<Cassandra`> Came off...reverted to skin when it was seperated form his body...
<SPoC> 6Dias steps into the training room. He breathes in the clear air.
<Marcus`> It's kinda funny. Some people get angry, others mellow. *he tilts his head and then places a hand on her shoulder* I'm sorry. *he says once again*
* SPoC sets down a style, having written it down on a datapad. 1"Interesting."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sure you want to be touching me? 6* She notes, eyeing him.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna bows her bead, "Thanks boss. I'm going to sweep the base once more, then make arrangements."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Understood. Good luck. You may want to take Marcus with you.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *pauses* "...to help find Billy, or to get him out of your hair?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> To find Billy. They were close. And he can smell out scents.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "That... isn't reassuring."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. Then don't take him.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances down at his datapad.
* Marcus` places his other hand on her other shoulder. "Well my hands not melting, that's a good sign, right?" Though he doesn't smile, he just frowns, "I'm sure you had your reasons, there's not point for me to even get upset. I overreacted."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, good thing we're just friends. I'd hate for you to think of such things whenever we were close. Um. Mind letting go?
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to the body bag, he hops from side to side, testing his leg
* Marcus` holds up his hands. "..."
<SPoC> <Dias> This feels good. 6He nods to himself and throws a slow knee into the bag.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts her shoulders. "Thanks."
* Jennifer` kicks her legs a little in her seat.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna salutes Warren, then heads off to double check Billy's known hiding spots one last time.
* SPoC grabs a knife and begins make an incision along Atticus' chest from neck to naval
<DeathStar> 6* No sign of the evil little 5 year old.
<Marcus`> So. I guess our chances of a relationship have went from slim to nil?
<Kit> 6Freyja leans back against the doorframe, frowning. She's not that far off in expression from Chii considering her posture and choice of normal form.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think it'll be best if we're just friends, Marcus.
<Kit> 6Chii meanwhile drowns her sorrows, lamenting to Cheryl about finding the right evil prick to claim for her own soul. She considers it divine punishment or something, cleansing it away to be used for a good purpose. Or something like that.
<Kit> 6Lilith tugs on Raquel's shirt.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nods at randomly timed intervals.
<Marcus`> Of course. Well, I would rather have you as my friend than nothing at all. Right?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...hmmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods once. "Well, I have some work I should probably get caught up. Busy day with everything."
<SPoC> 6Dias begins to work out his healed leg now.
<Marcus`> Sure, sure. Don't mind me. *he gives a wave and turns to walk off*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks him go, and closes the door. She runs her fingers through her hair, then sits down at her desk
<Kit> 6Lilith points down the hallway. 1"One of our maternal guardians appears to be searching for something."
* Marcus` steps into the training and crosses his arms as he watches Dias.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...why don't you ask her about it?"
<Kit> 6Lilith stares at Raquel, then Setsuna, then Raquel. 1"..."
<SPoC> 6Dias spins around and drives his knee fully into it, his face responds by grimacing
<Kit> 6Lilith turns and shouts down the hallway. 1"Guardian mother! What are you looking for!?"
<Marcus`> Still hurts, eh?
<SPoC> <Dias> Aye, she's a lil' tender still.
<SPoC> 6He drops his leg down.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gives Lilith an odd look, "... Trying to find where Billy went."
<Marcus`> Eh, give it time.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...She is not at our adopted home.
<SPoC> <Dias> Time is something we don't have sadly.
* Jennifer` gets up and rubs her head, "I think... I should go talk to SPoC."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Marcus`> You're telling me. I think i'm going to ask Warren if I can take off to find Billy.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Have you seen any sign of her since... the freaky age thing?"
<Kit> 6Lilith shakes her head slowly.
<SPoC> <Dias> Really? I thought you were afraid of doing anything that deals with her.
* Marcus` eyes Dias. "Do you seriously want me to kick your ass? You're not Chad, stop trying to be like him.
* Jennifer` stops, looking at her father oddly.
<Kit> <Lilith> Mistress Billy has not returned home. Should this be alarming?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't look up.
<SPoC> <Dias> Of course not. I'm far better looking.
<Marcus`> He's going gray, did I tell you?
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh har har. A colorblind joke.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Yeah... a bit."
<Marcus`> No, he really is.
<Jennifer`> "Hey... ummm... Warren...?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...we have not seen her."
<Marcus`> When the Angie thing happened, he was there of course.
<SPoC> <Dias> Angie thing?
* Marcus` eyes Dias, then points to his stomach.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh...Yeah that.
* Jennifer` starts to say something then stops, realising the horribly terror that could be the consequences to asking, looking to see if they're completely, alone, wary of ninjas.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes her.
<Marcus`> So apparently since I was creeped out by something Kat did, i'm the bad person here. *he moves over to sit down on the mat*
<Kit> 6Freyja is still leaning there, but who knows if she's lost in thought or paying attention or both.
<SPoC> <Dias> Sorry man. 6He just looks at him
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Eh, thanks anyways."
* Jennifer` looks at him, then Freyja, then back again.
* Jennifer` does it meaningfully.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just stares.
<Kit> <Lilith> We will help.
* Jennifer` shrugs, "Guess not."
* Marcus` shrugs, "If it was just the incest thing that freaked me out, then I would understand. But eh."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just shakes his head at his daughter's apparant craziness, then goes back to his datapad.
<Kit> 6Lilith, for once, assumes, and doesn't bother checking with Raquel first to see if she's willing!
<SPoC> <Dias> I wish I could help you man, but I think this is something that just needs to blow over for awhile.
<Marcus`> Yeah same here. I need to get laid though, it's been too long and I don't have anyone to impress. I might go into town later.
<Jennifer`> "Yeah... probably lost too much blood or something earlier. I'll just get going now..."
* Jennifer` shuffles out of the room.
<Kit> <Freyja> Are you wonder about what Atticus said, Jennifer?" 6Raises a hand before her exit.
<SPoC> <Dias> Just remember what our golden rule.
<Marcus`> Golden rule?
<SPoC> NRP: is
<SPoC> <Dias> Always carry protection.
* Jennifer` stops and nods, looking at her.
<Marcus`> I always carry my gun. *he notes with a smile, hopping up and moving towards the exit*
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna disheartedly checks the last few places she already knows Billy isn't. Then pauses, and looks to Lilith, "...how are you at tracking?"
<Jennifer`> "Don't wanna take too much stock in his words but... I am curious."
* Marcus` knocks on the doorframe above Freyja when he steps into Warren's office. "Yo, I'm going to make a trip into the city, just letting you know."
<DeathStar> <Warren> 300 miles, hm?
<Marcus`> I'm a werewolf.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Uh huh
<DeathStar> <Warren> Try not to impregnant underage girls.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren goes back to his datapad.
<Marcus`> I'll make sure she belongs to you if I do. *he steps out*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his famous button.
<Marcus`> You motherfucker! *he calls from the hallway*

<Kit> The {Auction House}{Impossible to Guage!} ?
<Jennifer`> I'm ready
<Kit> Well then start!
<Jennifer`> -START!-
* Jennifer` continues to wait for Freyja to respond.
<Kit> <Freyja> I don't really understand why it concerns you. Do you have fears of recommitment or something?
<Jennifer`> "...You don't see why it concerns me?"
* Jennifer` stares at her.
<Kit> <Freyja> Not truly. You made it clear that this is not 'your reality.' Therefore, why are you alarmed if such events take place?
* Jennifer` looks at her still, now just a bit hurt.
<Jennifer`> "I thought I made it clear that this wasn't my reality... but is now."

Session Ident: #taw
<Kit> <Freyja> So why does it alarm you, then?
* Jennifer` looks back at her Dad, who appears to have tuned them out.
<Kit> <Freyja> Well?
<Jennifer`> "Cuz well... I care..."
<Kit> <Freyja> Then it's a case of your objection.
<Jennifer`> "I don't really... object..."
<Kit> 6Freyja crosses her arms, peering down at Jennifer. 1"Then what is it?"
* Jennifer` looks down a bit and sighs softly. "I just, yah know, it seems out of left field."
<Kit> <Freyja> Then with the subject of realities present, have you known this Warren Carmichael as long as I?
<Jennifer`> "A year longer."
<Kit> <Freyja> Is that so?
<Kit> 6Freyja holds up a hand and giggles 'pollitely.'
<Jennifer`> "I-I think so..."
<Jennifer`> "I was here for a full year before I was introduced to anyone but SPoC, Cheryl and Ben."
<Kit> <Freyja> Yes, I'm aware.
<Jennifer`> "And Dad of course..."
<Jennifer`> "I'm... not against it or anything... I was just curious."
<Kit> <Freyja> Frankly that's a better question for your father, but since it involves me, I don't believe it right to try and whisk me out of it.
* Jennifer` looks back at Warren, who appears happily concerned with other things, then back at her.
<Jennifer`> "I-I'm glad... alright?" *she tries to pass her for the door again*
<Kit> 6Freyja removes her hand and shrugs. 1"It's not pollite to lie. Just keep in mind that I may be as curious as you are."
<Jennifer`> "I'm not lying..."
<Kit> <Freyja> Are you now? You'd have to be sure of your own feelings before expressing them.
<Kit> 6Chii continutes to sob in a drunken fit, likely with Cheryl in a catatonic state from detachment or equal drunkeness.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl is sober. Hah.
<Jennifer`> "I'm not lying. In fact I..."
<Kit> 6Lilith continues to offer herself and Raquel to help find billy.
* Jennifer` seems to drift a bit, probably unsettled remembering the dopplegangers impression of her mother.
<Kit> <Freyja> Not everything was a lie, but stomach that it could be. My father was not a crazed lunatic, but he was a horrible example of a wonderful father. He worked more than he spent time with his family, and in the rare instances he had time off, he preferred to spend it drinking away stress from work.
* Jennifer` nods quietly.
<Kit> <Freyja> 'Atticus' as we called him, was a strange physical and psychological weapon.
<Jennifer`> "Yeah he was..."
<Jennifer`> "Can we... go somewhere? I think Warren wants to finish that work.
<Kit> <Freyja> Warren will be Warren.
<Kit> 6Freyja then eyes Jennifer oddly. 1"...We?"
<Jennifer`> "You and me."
<DS[Gone]> <Warren> ...
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl keeps feeding Chii more alcohol. Who knows how much the girl can take before she dies. Eh. We'll find out.
<Kit> <Freyja> I have no objections, I suppose.
* Jennifer` looks back at her dad, "It's just boring girl stuff, I didn't wanna bother you anymore."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Warren just grunts.
<Kit> 6Chii clanks the current bottle down and gasps. 1"... I'mma ...wassste za nex' wun. Nahd giv'um time t'off'um'self..."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Eh?
<Kit> 6Chii waves the bottle around like a weapon. 1"Off 'em! Off 'em! I'll off za nex' biggun baddie buhfore he can nix 'emself..!"
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Sounds like a plan.
<Kit> <Chii> Ah dam' good'un!
* Jennifer` takes that as a dismissal and leads Freyja out.
<Kit> 6She upturns the bottle again.
<Kit> 6Freyja faithfully trails dear Jennifer.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Warren remains ignorantly blissful.
* Jennifer` leads her to her room, the plain, nearly unused room, where she takes a seat.
<Jennifer`> "Wasn't comfy saying some things in front of him... cuz it's between you and me."
<Kit> <Freyja> Understandable.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Warren's secret spy cams watch the two
<Kit> 6When Jennifer turns enough to see, standing behind here is the teenage Angela, rather than a dress-wearing kitsune.
<Jennifer`> "...Okay, that's creepy."
<Kit> <Angela> HelloOOoo, little sis!
<Jennifer`> "Oh god..."
* Jennifer` giggles.
<Jennifer`> "I don't even consider her a sister... even if Warren's her guardian."
<Kit> <Angela> Well, I couldn't resist.
<Jennifer`> "Seeing who she is that was even a little strange to begin with."
<Kit> 6Angela reaches up and snaps her fingers, shifting within a blink of the eyes to the five year old version of herself she set upon while listening in with Katrina-- that is, the hypothetical five year old with pale hair and the likes.
<Kit> 6Mini Freyja rocks on her heels. 1"So, what's this 'girly' stuff you were too shy to mention?"
* Jennifer` giggles a bit more. "Now you know if you and Dad DO hook up, treating you like a mother in that forms gonna really be wierd."
<Kit> <Freyja> Eh? I didn't think you'd treat me like one anyway. Not that I take this form often.
<Jennifer`> "Why'd you think that?" *smiles a little*
<Kit> 6Freyja spins around and shifts again, to her likely if she had aged normally until around fifty-four. She pushes up small spectacle-style glasses and folds her hands in her lap, wearing a cobalt sweater and pleated black pants.
<Kit> <Freyja> Thought you might be a bit old to be found wanting for a mother figure, dearie.
<Jennifer`> "I'm fifteen."
<Kit> <Freyja> Yeah? That's pretty close to grown-up, kiddo. In Tomoe--" 6Her thoughts seem to wander for a moment, then she shakes her head. 1"In To-.. Lilith's time, most were living on their own in some fashion by then, if not married."
<Jennifer`> "In this time I have a whole 3 years till enlistment, and we're not even fully adults by the laws till 21."
<Kit> <Freyja> Really? Do the world governmental laws actually apply to outcasts? Or did they ever have an affect on the mind's own development?
<Jennifer`> "Well no, but just because we're on teh run I should forget standards?"
<Kit> <Freyja> I find standards overrated, but then, I'm a miko. Isn't that a silly way to be?
<Jennifer`> "I guess... I just plan on surviving all this and well... growing up."
<Kit> <Freyja> You're growing up all the time. You look like you're grown-up to me, but then, everyone as a whole seem like children.
<Kit> 6Freyja holds her hands up to her mouth, having returned to her normal self at some point. 1"You're all so adorable."
<Jennifer`> "I look grown up?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Mh. I see differently than others, though. Surely you have noticed?
<Jennifer`> "Yes..."
<Kit> 6Freyja seems content to let that linger as she smiles off into space.
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, if that's all.
* Jennifer` sighs a bit, "Kinda..."
<Jennifer`> "You really like Dad?"
<Kit> 6Freyja narrows her eyes darkly, but dons a wide smirk. 1"Ho ho, getting personally again, are we?"
<Jennifer`> "Well it is my Dad we're talking about..."
* Jennifer` sits up a little. "Do you?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, I don't know.
<Jennifer`> "I've seen you flirt with him before..."
<Kit> 6Freyja laughs softly and sits back. 1"Who I like and dislike. This concept of 'flirting' and the likes. They're all games to me."
<Kit> 6Freyja's gazes grows cold again. 1"As for whom I love, that's another matter entirely and one I cannot commit to freely. I'm not sure of my feelings regarding your newly-ordained 'father.' He is a rare person whom, one even as I, has trouble reading and understanding."
<Jennifer`> "He likes it that way."
<Jennifer`> "...And he's not really newly ordained... I mean... he was my father in the other reality too, and he's... all I really got here."
<Kit> <Freyja> Hard to tell if he feels anything in return, isn't it?
<Kit> 6Freyja points upward. 1"If you're looking for someone to make you feel appreciated, it's oft best to look elsewhere."
* Jennifer` smiles softly. "I know he does."
<Kit> <Freyja> He does hear us, you know.
<Jennifer`> "I know."
<Jennifer`> "I've kinda just learned to accept it and act normally... I just felt wierd asking you all this right in front of him."
<Kit> <Freyja> I suppose so.
<Jennifer`> "I ummm..."
<Jennifer`> "Can you help me with something?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Perhaps. What do you have in mind?
<Jennifer`> "I ummm... well, I really only know how to wear a uniform and junk... I was wondering if you could help me umm... dress more..."
<Kit> <Freyja> Ehh...
<Kit> 6Freyja squints and scratches at her cheek.
<Jennifer`> "What...?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Your father's not a big fan of that, I'd have you know. He doesn't even like seeing me outside 'cosplay.'
<Jennifer`> "...I just meant to dress a bit more... girly."
<Kit> <Freyja> I know.
<Kit> 6Freyja looks upward. 1"I did lose my doll."
<Jennifer`> "Why do you keep doing that? I'm pretty sure I'm bugged, let alone my cieling."
<Kit> <Freyja> Just a habit.
<Jennifer`> "Well if you wanna help out... kinda afraid of winding up a tomboy..."
<Kit> <Freyja> What's wrong with that?
* Jennifer` blushes and thinks, "I...I dunno really... it just seems..."
<Kit> <Freyja> Chii, Cheryl, and Janet aren't necessarily the most girly sorts.
<Jennifer`> "...How'd you know her name?"
<Kit> <Freyja> I never denied being nosey, did I? You know it now, however, so no need to shove it aside. Though I won't exactly disclose it to others."

<Jennifer`> -START-
* Jennifer` steps into the room SPoC is in, scrunching her nose a bit at the smell of diseccted alien.
<Jennifer`> NRP: Timeline is: Whenever the hell this fits in.
* SPoC stands beside the table Atticus is on, she's currently writing something down after an hour or so of work.
<Jennifer`> "Find anything neat?"
* SPoC looks up, turning her head to look at Jennifer. 1"Yes."
<Jennifer`> "Whatcha find?"
<SPoC> You will have to wait until I am fully done.
<Jennifer`> "Oh alright... say... can we talk a bit?"
* SPoC looks down at her report than over at Jennifer. She sets her stylus down then turns to face her fully. 1"I do suppose I can allocate some time."
<Jennifer`> "Who was that... Atticus showed you?
* SPoC pauses as she looks at Jen. 1"I do not understand."
<Jennifer`> "The guy that he turned into, and you started crying over."
<Jennifer`> "Old boyfriend?"
* SPoC crosses her arms and looks up at the cieling, she remains this way for a minute before finally looking back down at Jen. 1"His name was Clive. He was my unit leader."
<Jennifer`> "He made you... act differently... real different."
* SPoC tilts her head slightly. 1"How so?"
<Jennifer`> "You zoned out, completely unaware, I coulda beaned you and you wouldn't know it."
<SPoC> I see. That is not good.
<Jennifer`> "Very bad... is your name really Janet?"
* SPoC tilts her head again at Jen. 1"Janet?"
<Jennifer`> "THat's what he called you, and you responded to it."
<SPoC> I do not recall if that is my name.
<SPoC> A name is useless on the battlefield.
<Jennifer`> "GOtta have something to yell at you when a grenade lands at your feet."
<SPoC> That is why we are assigned call-signs.
<Jennifer`> "Call-signs?"
<SPoC> SPoC was the call-sign I was given when I was under Zephyr's command.
<Jennifer`> "Oh... neat... did my Dad ever have one?"
<SPoC> I believe it was Steve for a brief time.
<Jennifer`> "Steve?"
* Jennifer` stares a little.
<Jennifer`> "Doesn't seem very creative... but very much like Dad."
<SPoC> Why does it have to be creative? 6She studies Jen curiously
<Jennifer`> "Dunno... just thought they'd be... cool or something."
<SPoC> In combat, a cool name will not increase your odd's of survival. 6She says it sternly.
<Jennifer`> "Well yeah... I suppose."
<Jennifer`> "Just you know, thought something cool like... Diamondback or Blackjack might be used you know?"
* SPoC stare blankly at Jen. 1"There are few times when a person adopts a call sign that they have been given and it has been used to strike fear into your enemies. But I have never worked in a unit or squad where that was the case.
<Jennifer`> "Ah, so it's like something you earn on the battlefield?"
<SPoC> For those that enjoy such things, yes. I was taught otherwise tho.
<Jennifer`> "I see... that guy meant something to you?"
* SPoC tilts her head as she looks upto the cieling again.
<SPoC> Yes. He taught me everything I needed to survive. 6She looks back down at Jen
* Jennifer` takes a seat, looking at her, she seems to be looking for an answer to something.
<SPoC> It is not what you know that is out there that should strike fear in you, it's what you don't know that's out there that's strikes far more fear. This is what he taught me.
* Jennifer` nods softly, "Sorry I just... always thought of you as so... ...strong..."
<SPoC> You do not see me that way anymore? 6She looks at her curiously again
<Jennifer`> "I do I just... didn't expect that moment of weakness."
<SPoC> If that is how you plan to view me than that will be your own folly.
<Jennifer`> "It'll be my folly to see you a little more real?"
* SPoC tilts her head sligthly. 1"A great soldier views only their mission objectives. Such things only get in the way.
<Jennifer`> "I don't agree... soldiers aren't drones or Beta units... they have souls."
<SPoC> What they have is irrelevant. All that matters is that they complete their mission flawlessly and are able to adjust to do so.
<Jennifer`> "THat might get you through the battle... but what about after? Dad has emotions outside it, Cheryl does... sometimes really does in it."
<SPoC> Placing emotions in it only makes a soldier hesitate. And there may only be a split second between you pulling the trigger or being shot.
<Jennifer`> "I wonder... I mean, when Cheryl does have emotion in battle she seems to never hesitate... that anger... Berserker it was called right?"
<SPoC> She is what is known as a beserker, yes.
<Jennifer`> "Is it possible to... to sorta turn it on and off?"
<SPoC> I do not know. Their type are commonly used in the frontline and that is not where I spent my time.
<SPoC> NRP: is
* Jennifer` scratches her head a little and sighs softly. "I'm not totally sure I can kill my emotions."
<SPoC> That do not.
<SPoC> NRP: Than
<Jennifer`> "Alright."
* Jennifer` tilts her head to the side a bit. "Up for training later?"
<SPoC> If that is what you would like, I can arrange some time than.
<Jennifer`> "Of course, I gotta work on my weapons skills!"
<SPoC> Close Quarter Combat is a valuable skill to have.
* Jennifer` smiles and nods. "Alpha Zephyr never seemed to like it, but Alpha Cheryl does."
<SPoC> I see.
* Jennifer` blinks a bit, "Whatcha see?"
* SPoC looks at Jennifer. 1"You were talking about your home again, were you not?"
<Jennifer`> "...Sorta... it's all kinda melding for me lately."
<Jennifer`> "I kinda remember Zephyr from there, but Cheryl more here."
<SPoC> I see. I did not recall you ever meeting Zephyr here.
<Jennifer`> "Well yeah... well I met her a little before the team split up."
<SPoC> I see.
* Jennifer` nods a little, looking at the corpse, "How can you stand cuttin that thing up? It looks disgusting."
<SPoC> It is no different then killing any enemy. 6She stares at her blankly
* Jennifer` blinks a bit, "But it's... already dead."
<SPoC> Yes it is.
* Jennifer` smiles and hops up a bit. "Well... I'm glad we could talk."
<SPoC> That is good. I enjoy talking to you too.
* Jennifer` smiles and looks at her fondly. "You're a good friend. Specially to have in a fight."
<SPoC> That is what I am told.
* Jennifer` giggles a bit.
* SPoC tilts her head. 1"What is funny?"
<Jennifer`> "Nothing."
<SPoC> Than why did you giggle?
<Jennifer`> "I'm happy."
<SPoC> I do not understand.
<Jennifer`> "It's something I do sometimes when I'm really happy... I just giggle a lot."
<SPoC> I see. It is...6She glances at the floor then up at Jennifer. 1"Different."
<Jennifer`> "A little I suppose." *she giggles a bit more*
<SPoC> And this is normal?
<Jennifer`> "For me I guess, people do all sortsa things depending on thier emotions."
<SPoC> I have noticed this.
<SPoC> I still do not understand why someone of your age is concerned about combat.
<Jennifer`> "Dad told me to train."
<Jennifer`> "And it's not really unavoidable in our situation."
<SPoC> He is not your father tho.
* Jennifer` fidgets a little. "I think of him as such..."
<SPoC> This is understandable
<Jennifer`> "Yeah... my father was Warren Carmichael and my mother Rebecca Tanners... any ways you slice it biologically I am... I just... well the me in this reality died before I was born."
<SPoC> Your parents were not married?
<Jennifer`> "In my old reality they were. Very happily married."
<SPoC> Than why did your mother not take your father's last name? Is it uncommon in your reality?
<Jennifer`> "Well, she did... she was just never Rebecca Carmichael in this reality."
<SPoC> I see. You believed that I knew your mother in this time.
<Jennifer`> "I really don't know... but the chances are better people knew her by a name she had."
<SPoC> I did not find it necessary to research Carmichaels past when I chose to work for him.
<Jennifer`> "I still don't know the whole story... just see the differences."
<SPoC> Do the differences bother you?
<Jennifer`> "Sometimes... like with Cheryl."
<SPoC> I do not understand
<Jennifer`> "It's just... how do I explain it... Dad's never been a cheery sort, but in this reality it's like he's broken somehow... and I'm not used to Zephyr being so far away from me."
<Jennifer`> "Cheryl... I get this feeling sometimes like she's guilty about something."
<SPoC> I have not noticed these. 6She shifts slightly.
<Jennifer`> "You wouldn't know this, but in my reality Dad was Zephyr's pilot... so I saw her a whole lot."
* SPoC just stares, content in letting her talk
<Jennifer`> "I don't know many people from this reality like that though... Angela, but not many others around here. From what I've been able to read up on, history took some really big turning points at the Ridarium Wars.
<SPoC> Than you understand how well one decision can effect so many.
<Jennifer`> "Very... one of those decisions made by someone along the line killed me in this reality."
<SPoC> Do you hate this person for it?
<Jennifer`> "Nah... it's not like they ever knew me right? How could it be out of malice."
<SPoC> That is good.
<Jennifer`> "Heh... this is the life I got now and I'm happy just to be alive to live it."
<SPoC> If that is so, than I will do what I can so that you may continue living
* Jennifer` smiles. "Thanks SPoC."
* SPoC stares back at her, a plain look still on her face
<Jennifer`> "What...?"
* SPoC blinks now, confused. 1"What?"
<Jennifer`> "Nothin... you looked like you had something to say."
<SPoC> I did not.
<Jennifer`> "Okay."
* Jennifer` smiles and hops down.
<Jennifer`> "I'll ummm, let you get back to your autopsy.
<SPoC> That would be nice, yes. 6She turns grabbing some tools.
<Jennifer`> "See you soon!"
* Jennifer` heads out of the room.

Session Close: Sat Jan 19 23:26:39 2008

<Kit> 6A knock reverberates on Warren's office door, the echo faintly lingering in an otherwise rather vacant hallway being middle of the night.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits in her room a painting infront of her. She's wearing only a tank top and panties.
<Kit> NRP: I would say it's Erevis, not SPoC, but then she wouldn't even have that.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer lays curled up in bed, not too dissimilarly dressed from SPoC, only hidden by her covers, fast asleep.
<DeathStar> 6* No answer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sleeps standing up in a hallway.
<Kit> <Freyja> Come on, open up!
<DeathStar> 6* No answer.
<Kit> <Chii> Seriously.
<Kit> 6Lilith sits in the open air, observing two marker stones quietly, yawning just a bit.
<Kit> 6Chii scowls across at Freyja. 1"Why are we here anyway? I asked for your help, not his."
<Kit> <Freyja> It's not pollite to kidnap the children without letting their guardians know.
<Kit> <Chii> Why should I care about that?
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm not sure. Why would you care if you annoyed Warren?
<Kit> 6Chii stares for a moment, then peers away. 1"...Whatever."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer snoozes on.
<Kit> <Chii> He's not answering, let's just go. Not like he'd notice. I think.
<Kit> <Freyja> I wonder about that.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC paints on.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sleeps on.
<Kit> 6Chii waves her hand and turns, moving down the hall toward Jennifer's room. Freyja sighs and hangs her head, then follows along reluctantly. Chii skips the knocking process and moves to activate the lights within the room instead.
<DeathStar> 6* Machine guns lower from the ceiling and aim at Chii
<Seraphna> * Jennifer grumbles and rolls over in her bed, snuggling her pillow.
<Kit> 6Freyja winces at the drones, then moves away from the room, making her way to the mess hall, collecting a pot and filling it with water, then ambling toward the exit.
<Kit> 6Chii stares at the guns. 1"Then answer your bloody door 'dad.'"
<DeathStar> 6* The guns keep a bead on Chii
<Kit> <Chii> Oy, wake up shrimp. Field trip.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *grumbles* "5 minutes..."
<Kit> <Chii> Five minutes is five hours lost. Hurry up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snorts than starts sleep walking down the hall.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer crasks her door open, her hair a mess, eyes half closed, "What is it...?"
<Kit> <Chii> Like I said, field trip. Get dressed." 6A hand on her hip.
<DeathStar> 6* The machine guns' green light switches to red
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Does Dad know about this?"
<Kit> <Chii> Not likely, since he ignored us.
<Kit> 6Chii places an annoyed emphasis on 'us,' peering up at the sentries, seeming linger on the lights.
<Seraphna> "I should tell him..." *she rubs her eyes*
<Kit> <Chii> Might be convenient for you to do.
<Kit> 6Chii continues staring at the guns. She's probably in mimic mode to save her life at this point. 1"I have enough things to worry about without a few unprofessional piercings.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods and shuts her door, getting dressed and cleaned up.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms and turns away from the door, tapping her foot impatiently.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer comes out after a few and rubs her eyes, "Is this some kinda training?"
<Kit> <Chii> Exactly.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer heads to Warren's room, knocking.
<Kit> 6Chii tags Jennifer for the moment, still eying the guns as she moves away.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer had the foresight to check his room, not his office in the middle of the night.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer shrugs and looks at Chii. "Guess he either knows or sleeps ten times more soundly the usual."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sleep walks past Jen and Chii
<Seraphna> * Jen looks at him sleep walking and pulls out a marker, quickly drawing a muschachio on his face.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snorts swatting at the hand as it touches his face.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: 6Dias snorts awake, smelling pussy since that's the only place she could be hiding that marker.
<Seraphna> * He gets a nice marker line up teh side of his face too.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias continues on his way, not knowing the horrors that Seraphna has caused to him.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Jennifer
<Kit> 6Chii stares. 1"Childish, but approved."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles, "I am a kid you know."
<Kit> 6Chii then steps past Jennifer, moving down the hall for the exit. 1"Well, so am I, technically, but then, completely not."
<Kit> <Chii> What we need is outside. Do you have a method of combat you prefer at this point in your life?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Honestly, I doubt I'm much good in combat outside guns at my age... most of our opponents being Dark Ones and full grown soldiers."
<Kit> 6Chii pauses a moment, murmuring. 1"Maybe you should have learned from Lilith."
<Kit> 6Chii then exits the base and meets Freyja, sitting out on the ground with the pot of water before her.
<Kit> <Freyja> Eh? He didn't tranquilize you?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "So... why so late?"
<Kit> <Freyja> The moon. It helps.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Helps what...?"
<Kit> <Chii> You saw ou-- her, memories, right? The two nights that mattered, her mother and her wedding night, they were both of what?"
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Jennifer curiously, to see if she remembers.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods a moment, blinking, she needed a moment to think about it.
<Kit> <Freyja> Although at this point I'm pretty potent either way, the lunar cycles greatly change my effectiveness at spiritual channeling. Technically the best time to catch me offguard would be during a new moon, while the best time for me to make use of my talents is around a full.
<Kit> <Chii> It doesn't make a difference to me, since I don't channel my own, I just store up what I can basically leaking off those around me or what I steal or devour." 6She stares with disinterest.
<Kit> <Freyja> We're not really near either, but just having moonlight available makes experiences more pleasant. Anyway...
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC leans back from her painting, tilting her head slightly
<Kit> <Chii> Basically you're not going to have time to sit around for a very long time, alright? So anything you think you want or need, now would be a good time to grab it.
<Kit> <Freyja> Whether those 'things' are objects or other people.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at her gun at her side, "Got all I need."
<Kit> <Chii> Heheheh.
<Kit> <Freyja> If you believe so." 6She turns the pot over, spilling the watter, but then motions with her hand, drawing it around into a ring, then moving her palm down, manipulating the water into a single pane as if it were a solid sheet.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer watches quietly, this supernatural stuff is beyond her.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at the water as Freyja stands, the two move to either side of it, and through the water is not the buildings or forest surrounding, but the familiar sight of the stardust paths and memory-imbued marbles surrounding the torii.
<Kit> <Freyja> This time I'll stay here.
<Kit> <Chii> That's okay, you don't really like where I've chosen to go anyway.
<Kit> <Freyja> ...
<Kit> 6Chii gestures with both hands at Freyja and moves through the waterpane. 1"C'mon, Jen. Time's limited."
<Seraphna> * Jen follows her.
<Kit> 6Lilith wanders by at this point, stopping to stare at the gate and Freyja, who waves back enthusiastically. Lilith just moves back inside the base.
<Kit> 6Chii determinedly ventures along one of the paths, weaving around sets of memories having mostly to do with times apparently after the Fairlights' creation, since Chii appears to be closeby or even hand in hand with Freyja within their brief 'previews.'
<Kit> <Chii> You know about the Ridarium Wars, right?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Of course I do."
<Kit> <Chii> That involves a lot of different worlds and a lot of space. Have you seen what happens when a world fights amongst itself?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Like now?"
<Kit> <Chii> We're just a group. I mean literally an entire planet's worth of its own nations.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I guess not then..."
<Kit> 6Chii reaches out for one of the memories and clutches it. 1"I see." 6She murmurs again, before it shifts and engulfs the two, leaving them on a torn street between a riddle of ruined buildings.
<Kit> 6It seems to be snowing, though of a pale grey colour, and not an object in sight seems to be left in its otherwise untouched or confidently working state. The buildings seem to be old stone and masonry of the smaller, and the larger old-style skyscrapers.
<Kit> 6Chii reaches up and rubs her head, squinting. 1"Let's see, now where was this...?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Beats me."
<Kit> 6The rubble of one of the collapsed buildings shifts and a portion of wall slides away, a metal on metal grinding sound resounds as something begins to uncover itself from it.
<Kit> 6Chii covers her ears from the annoying chalkboard sound, gazing at it. 1"Oh, right."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...What?"
<Kit> 6Chii shouts over the deafening noise. 1"Well, this is um... New Constantinople."
<Kit> <Chii> Istanbul. I don't know what you want to call it, just... I recommend moving!
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods and looks to her as to where to move.
<Kit> 6Chii breaks into a run down the street.
<Kit> 6The rubble slides away, kicking up dust from the street as it uncovers what is unmistakenly a turret, connected to a sluggish track vehicle obviously a tank.
<Kit> Though around twenty feet, the barrel begins adjusting, focusing slowly on Jennifer.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer runs, heading right after Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii forms a countdown over her shoulder, subtracting fingers from three, two, one, then leaps to the left rapidly with no delay.
<Kit> 6An electronic whine emits from behind them.
* Seraphna follows her movements, leaping with her,.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer
<Kit> 6Narrowly missing Jennifer is a round she can feel disturbance in the air from, the friction alone from that enough to cause a scalding sensation along her arm. The round flies down the road, eventually hitting it, sending up absolutely no debris-- just a hole.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "TH-THis is a DREAM right?"
<Kit> 6Chii slips behind a building and crouches, awaiting Jennifer's arrival. 1"Haa. One of the first times the amplified railgun's schematics had been microsized enough to fit within an artillery vehicle rather than a ground placement.
<Kit> 6She then holds up her hand, then motions and leaps back several feet.
* Seraphna follows.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer
<Kit> 6With out urgency, the scalding sensation rolls along Jennifer's back when she moves forward, behind her, a clean hole through the building they're behind continues into the one beyond-- a fine mist of the wall material in the air.
<Kit> <Chii> It's pretty standard to have infrared in this day and age. This way." 6She turns and begins winding a path between buildings, moving at a zig-zag away from the tank through the narrower parts it can't navigate. 1"Should be okay with this many walls between."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Wh-WHy are we doing this again?"
<Kit> <Chii> It's not reality, if that's what you mean. This is a memory that Freyja and I share-- However if you carry a memory of dying within you, what do you think happens outside the memory?"
<Kit> 6Chii stares intently for the answer.
<Seraphna> Jeniifer> "...No idea."
<Kit> 6Chii pats Jennifer's head. 1"Anyway, this was the first time I came really close to dying."
<Kit> <Chii> Your objective's to take out that tank. Good luck, kid. Everything you need's within the town. I wouldn't recommend trying to get out of the town limits.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, right. If the tank escapes, you also lose.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer slips off, beginning to search for things to use.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at her as she moves off, then turns and moves the opposite direction. Apparently this is an alleyway between sectors of a shopping district, conveniently enough. For whatever reason, the place seems vacant of life.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer keeps searching, keeping herself hidden from the tank
<Kit> 6The rumbling sounds and tremors seem to be a good sign of the tank's distance, however it doesn't seem to be moving toward her. Being on the road, it's quite possible it doesn't want to. Chii never did mention why the tank would want to escape.
<Kit> 6A lot of the shops seem to be of the tourist sort, clothing and knick-knacks, not much that would seem potentially useful against an armoured vehicle, but then, what is being looked for?
<Seraphna> * She looks for tools, more specifically, gas tanks.
<Kit> 6A gas station runs caddy corner to a branching y-intersection, exposed to the road, obviously, since it's made to service the road. An auto repair is down the road a ways, similarly exposed.
* Seraphna lifts up a small tank, probably for cooking, and heads after the Tank, keeping behind it and out of sight, looking for a good weak point.
<Kit> 6The tank continues to move up the road, paying her no heed. Being a tank, it has very few things that might be considered a true weak point, even the tracks being mostly protected by being beneath the craft, then again, the road's uneven in many places and it doesn't move quickly. The barrel is making slow 360s to scan.
* Seraphna looks for and uneven place, sticking the gas tank there and moving under cover.
<Kit> 6The tank drives for the can, and assuming Jennifer's taken to a thick spot of stone cover to hide from the infra, doesn't fire on her with the otherwise turret of death.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer has, she leans out and fires her gun at the gas tank just as it rolls over it.
<Kit> 6The tank's front side lifts from the ensuing controlled explosion, then lands, bouncing a mere once due to the rigid nature, and continues to moving seemingly unhindered.
<Kit> 6Then begins to make horrible squealing noises, moving only to one side, after a moment it stops, just idling, the barrel now sweeping across the firing arc, probably looking for head signatures again.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer has ducked aside, isghing, looking around for another source of weaponry.
<Kit> 6Another hole pierces through the walls and into the ones beyond where she was standing, probably matching where the ignition from her gun was.
<Kit> 6Sound suggest it trying to continue on, but only grinding in semi-circles instead of progressing.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer watches how the wheels turn, she nods to herself before heading to the gas station, beingign two more cnas back.
<Kit> 6The tank remains, since we'll assume she took a back way to again avoid scanning.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer times herself, looking for anywhere on the treads that might expose a motion device (axil, etc)
<Kit> 6The treads still being below the tank, even if the screwed one, aren't exposed at all.
* Seraphna puts both tanks together in a gap and moves back.
* Xan|Gone has joined #taw
* Xan|RulingKentucky has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Kit> 6Okay, Jennifer puts gas cans in a gap.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer times it and shoots them as the damaged tread rolls over them, blowing two at once.
<Kit> 6The tank lifts further off the ground, albheit not much more, then lands with a thunderous clank, looking no worse off. Bet whoever's inside is pissed, though.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer ducks back and takes a roundabout way, looking at the top o fthe tank as she goes to see what sorta access there is to the guy inside.
<Kit> 6It's a hatch, like most tanks, probably latched from the inside. The tank takes another couple of rounds against the heat signature and the surrounding area ineffectively.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sighs a bit to herself and goes searching for more explosives.
<Kit> 6A tap on Jennifer's shoulder is likely to get her attention. 1"Oy, what's taking so long?"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks to the source of the tap.
<Kit> 6Chii glares in her face. 1"You ran off, so I didn't feel the need to say, but the object of this was a short timeframe."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Tanks not going anywhere..."
<Kit> <Chii> See, back when I did this, that tank over there was the only one fitted with a modified rail gun. It's still in a prototype phase, which is why it isn't fitted with secondary weaponry."
<Kit> <Chii> Why do you think this place is empty?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Some kinda test...?"
<Kit> <Chii> Evacuation. I fucked up.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Huh?"
<Kit> <Chii> It wasn't in running order, which is why I set the timeframe for taking it out. Unfortunately I was still pretty clumsy back then and more or less I got caught redhanded. And while I did get away, I didn't have time to sabotage it properly. Since it was under a surveyed civilian contract, it wasn't in a military installation and therefore relatively unguarded.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Okay?"
<Kit> <Chii> There weren't hard copy blueprints to some of the key manifestos, so the wouldn't sacrifice it, but they weren't going to let it go. Hence the terms-- If the tank escapes, you lose. But this place is surrounded.

<Kit> 6Chii grabs Jennifer by the shoulder and yanks her back, moving backwards herself to step back onto the path of memories and out of the ruined Istanbul. 1"If you destroyed it in an obvious manner, even if you could, you'd be subject to an air raid for sure."
<Kit> <Chii> If you took too long, the calvary would arrive.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...It's a tank, how can you not be obvious?"
<Kit> <Chii> You had half the method right.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "HUh...?"
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Kit> 6Chii gestures with a hand. 1"I led it to another building and buried it, then set it aflame with splashes of gasoline to heat up the interior.
<Kit> <Chii> Eventually the guys inside needed to vacate-- knocked them out, then ruined the power supply and cooling mechanisms that were in the test phase. They couldn't just air strike with the possibility of something being salvageable."
<Kit> <Chii> Make sense?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Yeah it does."
<Kit> 6Chii puts a hand to her lips and seems to ponder. 1"Hmm..."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Kinda spoiled it at this point."
<Kit> <Chii> No, that lesson's done. Just be sure to remember.
<Kit> <Chii> It wasn't really about beating the tank.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Right."
<Kit> 6Chii glares at Jennifer. 1"Then you didn't see the sense of it at all."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Sometimes a goal can be accomplished with indirect means."
<Kit> <Chii> Mh, putting yourself at risk should always be a last resort. The other thing was that you ran off after I told you what the 'goal' was.
<Kit> <Chii> It might be in your best interest, when you have the time to do so, to find out the details. Your dad's an ace at that.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms. 1"Tell you what. It's your turn. What do you think you're lacking?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Sorry... a bit too used to following orders."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I am lacking in hand to hand tactics which take advantage of my size and form, and I lack anything other then ordinary skill in combat, nothing for the enemy to be shocked about."
<Kit> <Chii> In other words you think you're a chump if it comes to getting to anything gritty.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Yeah."
<Kit> <Chii> So then we know what you basically suck at. So what do you think you're good at, eh?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I'm a fair shot, given the knowledge I can be quite well at planning and strategy, and I do well with melee weapons."
<Kit> 6Chii stares skeptically.
<Seraphna> "...What?"
<Kit> <Chii> Can you hit a coin consecutively before it hits the ground?
<Seraphna> "Warren taught me to shoot a gun, enough to get away from a Dark One.
<Kit> <Chii> Wasn't really what I asked. Until recently I haven't fought Dark Ones. Just ...a lot of other shit.
<Seraphna> "I've never tried to... skip shot, I think it's called."
<Kit> <Chii> ...It's how I practiced reaction and precision.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't know what the hell it's called.
<Kit> <Chii> Stationary targets just won't cut it, and something you can predict won't either. A coin shooting is only predictable if you're good enough to affect how it takes the shot.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I see..."
<Kit> <Chii> I could teach you a few things to deal with targets in hand-to-hand. I do know how to get out of it since I hate close-range as much as I hate long-range.
<Kit> <Chii> But it would require tuning your reflexes. You know how quickly I can draw and exchange the tools I use, mh?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Yeah, you'r really fast."
<Kit> <Chii> Well, that's the basis, and truly, it helps with the timing for coin shots, as well. So.
<Kit> 6She peers around, studies the different memories, moves to a specific one along the path, then grabs it, allowing them both enter a half-lit room with a single door for an exit.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer follows her in.
<Kit> 6Chii crouches against a corner in the room. 1"Okay, this is going to seem really hokey, but trust me."
<Kit> 6Chii sits back, and sets a simple electric fan before her as she sits. She reaches over to plug it in.
<Kit> 6With a little difficulty and a complaining grunt, she yanks the wireframe off it and sets it aside, nodding. 1"Okay, the tab on the base behind the blades makes it move side to side or remain still. I want to to stop it from moving," 6She mumbles, as she pulls the tab up and turns it on low. 1"But you have to reach through the blade path to do so. Don't worry, Freyja blunted them at least."
<Kit> <Chii> Plastic, so you won't lose a finger or anything, but damn it hurt.
<Seraphna> * She nods and pulls up her fake hand. "Ready."
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, the other one, obviously.
<Kit> <Chii> You said you were ambidextrous, so don't rely on that replacement unless it's necessary for what you're doing.
<Kit> 6She raises a finger in chastise. 1"Otherwise you become predictable like we discussed."
<Seraphna> * She sighs and lifts up her real hand, getting ready.
<Kit> 6Chii turns the fan on low.
<Seraphna> * She tries to reach last quickly, gasping a bit as she retracts her hand.
<Kit> <Chii> Once you can get it, the idea is to do it again and make it move again.
<Kit> <Chii> When you can do it around six times in a row without being struck..." 6She shrugs. 1"We turn it up to medium. Then high."
<Kit> <Chii> Eventually I was practicing sleight against Freyja's light arrows.
<Seraphna> * She keeps trying, after repeated failures, she succeeds in stopping the blades.
<Kit> 6Chii leans in slightly, narrowing her eyes to squint again. 1"Tell you what. Once you can do it three in a row on medium, we'll move on to the coin and I'll teach you a trick that can only be done with a slug shot like I use. I don't use it anymore, really, but it could come in handy for someone like you."
* Kulix has joined #TAW
<Kulix> Hello TAWers.
<Seraphna> NRP: RPing :P
<Seraphna> * Jennifer gacks after succeeding in getting it on and getitng hit yet again trying to turn it off, getting quicker and watching her timing now.
<Kit> 6Chii sits back, crossing her arms again to watch, wondering how quick a human can catch on to such things.
<Kit> 6Cough, three days later...
<Seraphna> * Jennifer stops after a while, still working on medium setting. "My hand... is numb."
<Kit> <Chii> Maybe you need another nap...
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "You did wake me in the middle of the night..."
<Kit> <Chii> I'm referring to the here and now. It's been three days, after all. You've only slept once since we've been here, maybe you need to rest.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Yeah.... I could use more rest... Dad has to be worried by now."
<Kit> <Chii> Doubt it..." 6Glances leftwards.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "It's been days..."
<Kit> 6Chii mutters, a finger rubbing against her ear. 1"Yeah... here."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "..How long has it been there?"
<Kit> <Chii> You need to be more observant. I told you before, five minutes was the difference of five hours. We didn't have time to waste there, when it could be better spent here.
<Kit> 6Chii gestures. 1"This is but a memory, and in your memories, you can reminisce entire times within mere moments."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer yawns* "Alright..."
<Kit> <Chii> So. Roughly around two in the morning... eighty-four hours, eighty-four minutes, give or take. One hour, twenty-four minutes we have been 'missing.'
<Kit> 6Chii grins widely. 1"I'm sure Freyja's bored witless."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Can we continue this another time... I wanna pass out hardcore now..."
<Kit> 6Chii waves her hand dismissingly. 1"Just sleep. I can't here."
<Kit> <Chii> As soon as you wake up, we're continuing until we're done."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods and curls up on the floor.

Session Start: Mon Jan 21 19:19:37 2008
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080121.log'
* Chad`Winters is now known as SPoC
<Kit> Should be fine, assuming she's intelligent and sleeps within the dreamstate at the end to make up for it.
* SPoC waves such filthy knowledge away
<Jennifer`> She's brighter then some gems.
<SPoC> But not nearly as cut as a flawed diamond.
<Kit> Would be nice to at least finish leaving.
<Jennifer`> Let's start with the leaving then.
<Jennifer`> A few lines then a time jump to the morning.
<SPoC> Boooo
<Jennifer`> 5
<Jennifer`> 4
<Jennifer`> 3
<Jennifer`> 2
<Jennifer`> 1
<Jennifer`> -START-
* Jennifer` yawns a bit, stretching after a nap, her hand bruised up a bit, the nearly endless training complete.
<Kit> <Chii> Not bad." 6She stares scrutinously, at this point her movements a bit sluggish, in turn this helps to thwart her efforts in hand to hand sessions. Dark rings have formed under her eyes.
<Jennifer`> "We should get out of this... and you should get some sleep."
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, it served its purpose. We can't hope to get your perfect or anything, but it's a start. One you've been asking for but we're all too busy with our own problems. It's not nice to neglect kids." 6Almost nostalgic in her tone.
<Kit> <Chii> You can do it a few times on medium now, but it'll take far longer to get it flawlessly or up to high.
<Kit> 6She peers around as they return to the path of memories and she begins treading back to the torii in an imbalanced lurch. 1"Even hitting the coin twice in a row is pretty damn hard, by the way. Good job."
* Jennifer` smiles softly, "Thanks."
<Kit> <Chii> In honesty, I can only do it three or four times, and that's with two guns.
<Kit> 6Chii approaches the torii and waits for Jennifer to catch up. 1"The others can help you out more than me at this point, it's just... I have a bad feeling lately, and usually when that's the case something happens. I can't say what, but... it's probably time you're prepared to deal with things on your own."
* Jennifer` smiles a bit, "I should work on firing two at once..."
<Kit> <Chii> That, and I think if you've learned enough and get some of our approval, your dad can't leave you around being babysat anymore. I hate that feeling, personally.
<Kit> 6She puts her hand through, reaching to the otherside, back through the rippling water and steps through partially. 1"Off we go."
* Jennifer` follows her, "I dunno about that, Dad's hard to move."
<Kit> 6Chii waves her hand dismissingly, and as Jennifer escapes, steps her foot out of the gate and it falls as normal water, splashing across the ground. She mumbles. 1"I need a drink." 6And falls over with an ungraceful thud.
<Kit> <Freyja> Welcome back, Jennifer." 6She stoops, checking on Chii, perhaps.
* Jennifer` smiles, "THank you MIss Freyja."
<Kit> <Freyja> The sun's rising, I'm sure the others will either be rousing or awake soon. You should return lest we make someone angry.
<Jennifer`> "You mean Dad."
<Kit> 6A bit on the weary side herself, Freyja grins, then wraps Chii's arm around her shoulder, who seems to be cooperating, even if she looks unconscious and mumbling something about taiyaki and udon.
* Jennifer` smiles and starts for the base.
<Kit> <Freyja> There are others who care for you, but yes, he might be our chief concern.
* Jennifer` giggles a little and heads for the entrance. "Well you brought me back more or less unharmed, I'm sure they'll forgive."
<Kit> 6Freyja peers at her questioningly, then gazes glumly at Chii, walking her along and back into the base, patting her head at intervals. 1"Yes, yes, kitten. Bed, bed."
* Jennifer` slips into her room and kicks off her clothes, hoping to catch a few more hours of sleep.
<Jennifer`> NRP: Time jump when we're ready. :P
<Jennifer`> - TIME JUMP -
<Jennifer`> Later that morning...
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
* SPoC sits in the messhall, eating a military ration
* Jennifer` trudges in sleepily, cleaned up once more in seats and a tank top, sitting down with some rations.
<Kit> 6Freyja never arrives to make waffles. Baby Warren cries.
* SPoC looks over at Jennifer. 1"You look fatigued."
<Jennifer`> "Long, long sleep."
<SPoC> I do not understand. If you slept long than why does your body look otherwise.
<Jennifer`> "...Bad, bad dreams."
<SPoC> I see. Perhaps you should goto medical to get some sleep aid.
<Jennifer`> "Maybe... it was dreams of a Chii and Freyja variety."
<SPoC> I do not understand.
<Jennifer`> "Hard to explain with them."
* SPoC stares blankly at Jennifer.
<Jennifer`> "...THey took me from my room last night and had me enter one of thier dream things to train."
<SPoC> That is foolish. Sleep deprivation does not help someone who is learning.
<Jennifer`> "You're prolly right..." *yawns deeply*
<SPoC> Your reflexes will suffer and it will only impair you. You should not train in the middle of the night anymore.
<Jennifer`> "I won't." *she smiles reassuringly*
<SPoC> That is good to hear. 6She goes back to her ration now
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
* Jennifer` eats her rations slowly.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<SPoC> 6Dias steps into the messhall. He moves through, making his way into the back
* Jennifer` looks up at him and then down, trying to hide her giggles.
<SPoC> 6Dias' face is actually cleaned up, apparently he's been up for awhile.
* Jennifer` pouts tehn, having missed the funny scene.
<SPoC> 6Dias steps out from the back, he has a bottle of water and a fruit in his hand.
<Jennifer`> "Morning Mister Dias."
<SPoC> <Dias> Yo. 6He nods to her and walks past the two
<Kit> 6Lilith exits Drake's room, gazing at Dias once before continuing on her way down the hall.
* Jennifer` finishes her ration and lays her head on the table, watching Dias go.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods as he passes, he claps his hands together as he continues on his merry way
* SPoC reaches her hand out and slams it down on the table top near Jen's head.
* Jennifer` eeps and leaps up, blinking, "Wh-What!?"
<SPoC> This is why you do not neglect sleep when there isn't a need to.
* Jennifer` blinks and nods a bit, "Should I go take a nap?"
<SPoC> That would be wise.
* Jennifer` nods and excuses herself, heading for her room.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<SPoC> -END-
