<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.4.3
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo
* SPoC walks along a city block, her eyes peering around in awe and shock.
<Audrey> * Jennifer walks down a street in Tokyo, out to explore today, dressed in plain clothes, a tank top and jeans, wiggling her toes in sneakers, still not used to wearing anything but combat boots or her uniforms shoes.
* SPoC suddenly stops and moves over to a shop window. She presses her face against it and stares inside at something
<Audrey> * Jennifer sighs a bit and walks over with her, "What's so interesting?"
<SPoC> There are animals inside. 6She stares at a dog.
<Audrey> * Jennifer looks and smiles, "Cute puppy."
<SPoC> No. Not that one. 6She points at a more ferocious one.
<Audrey> * Jennifer looks at it and blinks a bit. "You want to get that?"
<SPoC> Get it? 6She stares at Jen confused
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Well it's in a shop... it must be for sale."
<SPoC> Why would it be for sale?
<Audrey> Jennifer> "...For you to keep as a pet... that's how people get pets."
<SPoC> I do not want a pet. I just find that one more cute. 6She watches with keen interest as it roughs up other ones
<Audrey> Jennifer> "...Wanna go pet it?"
<SPoC> What would petting it accomplish?
<Audrey> Jennifer> "...I have no idea, people like petting animals."
* SPoC stands there, most likely musing on that
<SPoC> No, I do not want to pet it. 6She nods to herself
<Audrey> * Jennifer nods and turns around, looking around, then up at the tall buildings. "This place is huge."
<SPoC> Are most capitals not big?
<Audrey> Jennifer> "I was only here for a short time before... and before that I was on the colony."
<Audrey> Jennifer> "I'm not used to such a big place."
<SPoC> I see. I probably have never been on a colony.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Well in this timeline most of the major spacial colonies seem to have been destroyed or fallen into disuse..."
<SPoC> A space colony is not a strategic point.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Yeah... my old timeline wasn't at war."
<SPoC> If there was no war. I would most likely have never met you. 6She turns, moving down the street again
<Audrey> Jennifer> "That's true."
<Audrey> Jennifer> "I'm glad we did meet though." *she smiles and walks with her, looking at shops and all around*
<SPoC> I see.
* SPoC stops infront of another store. An lingerie store, she peers at it. A perplexed look on her face.
* Audrey stops and looks with her. "What...?"
<Audrey> * Jennifer
<SPoC> What are these? 6She tilts her head slightly
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Bras and Panties? I'd think you know what they are at least..."
<SPoC> That much I have gathered. But these are different.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Because it's lingerie... it's clothing for ummm... well... I think for making some guy want you more... or in Ms. Arakawa's case, some girl."
<SPoC> Do you own some?
* SPoC looks at her curiously
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Me? N-NO... I'm way too young for that stuff."
<SPoC> So you must be a certain age to wear these. 6She crosses her arms now as she thinks deeply
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Well... no... but I doubt they even have anything like that for fifteen year olds... and anyways, I'm pretty sure Dad doesn't want me even thinking about boys until I'm... well... older."
* SPoC glances at something inside than at Jennifer. 1"Is is probably for the best. I do not believe your boobs are big enough for these clothes.
<SPoC> NRP: it is
<Audrey> * Jennifer blushes a little, "W-Well yeah I'm not that developed yet... so what?" *she looks up at SPoC, seemingly a nerve has been touched*
* SPoC stares blankly at Jen. Than laughs. 1"I am joking." She steps back and starts walking again
<Audrey> * Jennifer blushes more and walks with her. "Y-Yeah, joking... okay."
<SPoC> You are a very average looking girl Jennifer. I am sure the boys will like you.
<Audrey> * Jennifer nearly stumbles. "I-I... thanks." She thinks.
<SPoC> You are welcome. 6She nods to herself, conquering the compliment sector of conversations
<Audrey> * Jennifer continues to look around, slowing a moment as she passes a book store.
* SPoC being more interested in her surroundings doesn't notice Jen slowing a moment at the book store and keeps moving.
<Audrey> * Jenn rushes to catch up to her.
* DeathStar is now known as DS[Gone]
* SPoC stops at an intersection and looks around for incoming traffic
<Audrey> * Jenn stops with her, looking both ways, sticking to SPoC. "Still don't see why I need a guard to go everywhere."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<SPoC> G-Guard? 6She pauses as she looks at you.
<SPoC> NRP: her.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Ummm... you were awfully interested and ready to come out with me like this..."
<SPoC> Oh. Than where is it you want to go?
<Audrey> Jennifer> "No where in particular... I just wanted to explore..." *holds a grumbling tummy* "...Lunch would be nice though."
<SPoC> Than let us find something to eat.
<Audrey> * Jennifer nods and points to a ramen shop down the street. "That looks good."
<SPoC> Than lead the way. 6She motions
<Audrey> * Jennifer looks both ways again, and crosses when it's safe.
* SPoC crosses behind Jennifer
<Audrey> * Jennifer heads to the shop and peeks her head in, looking about before stepping inside.
* SPoC steps in behind Jennifer
* SPoC glances around the ramen shop.
<Audrey> * Jennifer looks around too as she takes a seat at the counter.
* SPoC sits down across from Jennifer
<Audrey> * Jennifer orders a bowl of Beef Yakisoba and relaxes a little.
* SPoC randomally orders something
<Audrey> Jennifer> So how's work? Dad doesn't talk much about it other then to grumble about headaches caused by Marcus and Dias.
<SPoC> It is going on well. How is school?
<Audrey> Jennifer> "A challenge... I'm acing my classes but it takes so much studying!"
<SPoC> You are Warren's child. I would not worry about classes.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "...Why wouldn't I worry about classes?"
<SPoC> I am sure that after your first parent teacher meeting. Warren will have things straightened out.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "What would he be straitening out...?"
<SPoC> Hmmm. 6She taps her chin. 1"I am not very good at these conversations. I aplogize.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "The work is hard because I'm not a genius like Aya."
* SPoC tilts her head. 1"I do no understand.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "...What's not to understand?" *she's confused now*
<SPoC> What does Aya being a geniuus have to do with the work being hard? Is it not only Freshman classes?
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Well yeah... and I'm not super smart like she is and I took a year off school."
<SPoC> Were you not in military training before this?
<SPoC> NRP: school not training
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Yes... but... that was the 7th grade... I missed 8th year and went right to 9th."
<SPoC> I see, I did not realize things got progressively harder.
<Audrey> Jennifer> "Yep, that's how school goes, it's like levels of training."
<SPoC> I see. Than you must train harder. 6She nods
<Audrey> * Jennifer nods and starts to eat her Soba.
* SPoC munches on her random ramen soup bowl
<Audrey> Jennifer> *looking up from her munching* Anything else new or interesting?

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.4.5
<DeathStar> Location: Somewhere
<Jackieness> NRP: Stealth mini?
<Dias`> 6Dias slides in, throwing a series of punches towards Cheryl's mid-section
* Kulix has joined #TAW
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts, holding up her arm to take the brunt of the attacks, then kicks up at Dias' head
* Dias` 's head snaps back and he takes several steps back, his offensive broken
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts, not using her blocking arm, since it's stinging, and proceeds to throw a punch for his gut with her other hand
<Dias`> 6Dias snaps his left knee up and let's it connect. He jerks his upper body in and throws his left elbow towards Cheryl's gut
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit in the stomach, grimacing
* Dias` plants his other hand against her leg and shoves off, sliding backwards
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes several deep breaths, holding her stomach with her wounded arm. She looks pissed now.
<Dias`> Don't tell me your getting slow in your old age. 6He smirks slightly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... .... 6* Her eyes narrow a bit and her breathing quickens. Her hands clinch tightly into a fist as she stares at him. Sliding her right foot further back than her left foot, she raises both her hands, eyeing him as if he were a meatbag
* Dias` shifts his feet around and crouches more, both his hands held infront of him
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snaps her right hand forward, and her energy whip comes to life, whipping out at Dias' throat.
* Dias` drops down to all fours, going below the whip.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks forward as he drops down, throwing out her foot for his face
* Dias` shoves off from the ground with his hands and blocks the incoming kick, which sends him toppling backwards now
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl brings her right arm up and down in a judo chop, bringing the whip down in a vertical strike
* Dias` is hit dead center with the whip, he howls out in pain as he slams into the floor
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists and brings the whip down for a second blow
* Dias` jerks, rolling off to the side as the whip hits the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks her arm back, then spins to the right, swinging it horizontally at him
* Dias` shoves off the ground, letting the whip come under him. He shifts his weight and lands on his feet
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl yanks her arm back, standing there and eyeing him.
* Dias` shifts around to face Cheryl now. His hands held up as he studies her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's lip curls in a sneer. "Old, huh?"
<Dias`> Well atleast your aging beautifully. 6He smirks back
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't age. 6* She whips out at is face with a quick arm blur
* Dias` snaps his forearm up and leans back, letting the whip hit that instead
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets the whip curl around his forearm, then yanks back on her arm as hard she can
<Dias`> Than I guess you get to stay beautiful forev-6He stumbles forward then hops off the ground, kicking at her opposite side
* Arralis` is now known as Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists her body to the side as he kicks out, letting him kick at the air. She reaches down with her arm, wrapping it around his leg, and twists it, not to break it, but to send him hopping right into the ground at an awkward angle.
* Dias` hits said ground in said awkward angle and he howls out in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts her hands on her hips, deactivating her whip. "Did that hurt the widdle baby?"
<Dias`> I think I taste purple. 6He groans.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks over and kneels down, staring at him with a look that says 'pathetic'.
* Dias` plants his hand suddenly pivots on it, swinging his leg's out to trip up Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a noise of surprise, and lands on her back. "Cocksuc--" 6* She begins a string of curses
* Dias` kicks off the floor and lands ontop of Cheryl, straddling her. 1"Uh, is the widdle old la-"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's face suddenly goes very still, and her hand moves without any real indicate to break something precious to Dias.
* Dias` quickly stands up and slides away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pushes herself up slightly with her hands, still laying there. She keeps eyes Dias.
* Dias` shifts into his fighting stance, his right leg held behind him now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Knock a girl down cheaply, then expect more fighting? Typical. 6* She snorts.
<Dias`> Fighting? Oh this is totally self-defense.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises to her feet. "Mmmmhm. And why would you need...self-de-fense?" 6* She asks, stretching out the words lightly
<Dias`> Well you did look like you wanted to break my kick stand off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh? Of course not. Come here. 6* She smiles sweetly, waving Dias closer.
<Dias`> I don't know. 6He lowers his arms, looking cautious
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't you trust me? 6* She asks sweetly.
<Dias`> Well when you put it that way. 6He moves over to her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts an arm around Dias, still smiling. "See? You're acting like I'm an overreactive bitch. You don't think that, do you?"
<Dias`> I don't think you're a bitch at all.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good answer. 6* She keeps her arm there, then pauses and awkwardly lets go
* Dias` glances around, as if something is odd
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ...
<Dias`> <Dias> Anyways. So I guess I win, huh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh, no. You were crying so I let my guard down
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him.
<Dias`> I wasn't cryi-6He eyes Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes slightly.
<Dias`> I had something in my eye. 6He hrmps
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't worry, I won't tell your friend. 6* She slaps his back
<Dias`> <Dias> Hey, are you saying I only have one friend?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Name another.
<Dias`> You. Warren.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Warren? 6* She laughs.
<Dias`> I bet I have more friends than you
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "You still haven't named a viable other friend than Marcus."
* Dias` eyes Cheryl, aghast. 1"So you're not my friend than."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't count. 6* She waves her hand. "We're trying to name other people here. I could just name you as my friend and make it even."
<Dias`> Erevis. 6He nods after having to think about it for a bit
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... When's the last time you visited her?
<Dias`> <Dias> What's that have to do with anything?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hah! You're so not her friend
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, as if winning
<Dias`> <Dias> Am too.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Knowing you, you slept with her and that's why you haven't talked to her.
<Dias`> You do know she's gay right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seriously? Xanatos was that bad?
<Dias`> Apparently. Rember that Megumi chick?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmhm.
<Dias`> Well. 6He just waves his hands
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. Ohhhhhhhh.
* Dias` nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods her head slowly. "We have a lot of lesbians in our social network."
<Dias`> Too many. 6He crosses his arms. 1"So tell me who're your friends are than. And you can't list Chii since she's more of a stalker than a friend.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can, too.
<Dias`> Stalkers don't count.
<Dias`> If Erevis doens't count. Stalker's don't count.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Fine. Ariel.
<Dias`> When's the last time you visited her?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... within the last two weeks. 6* She notes, her mood declining somewhat.
<Dias`> Fine. That's one, even tho she is your mother.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Whatever.
<Dias`> That puts you at a tie with me. Come on now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts and walks off.
* Dias` rolls his eyes and moves after her. 1"Oh knock it off."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to face him. "Did you say something?"
<Dias`> Yeah I did. Because that's what friends do, right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She shoves his chest with her hand. "That so?"
* Dias` steps back from the shove. 1"Aye."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hah. 6* She turns to walk on again
<Dias`> Do you really hate losing that bad?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. It doesn't really matter.
<Dias`> Than why'd ya get all sour suddenly?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing.
<Dias`> Right. And this big black scar on my face is nothing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *turns to face him* Just. Drop it.
<Dias`> I still miss her too Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs, as if the wind is out of her sails now.
<Dias`> But do you really think she'd want to see you like this?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "No."
* Kuroichigo has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a deep breath and lets it out, glancing up at the ceiling
<Dias`> You're not the only one suffering Cheryl. We're all hurting, but the least we can do if ease each others pains.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? How?
* Dias` steps over by her and puts his hand on her shoulder. 1"By being there for each other."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods slowly. "Yeah."
<Dias`> And if that means I have to let you beat me down or I have to drink you under the table, than so be it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *waves her hand* Let me? *snorts again*
* Dias` shoves Cheryl playfully. 1"Well you know how my ego rolls."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tilts her body. "You're lucky I don't kick your ass for saying you let me." 6* She pauses, then coughs, glancing away. "Thanks, Dias."
<Dias`> Eh. 6He waves his hand. 1"It's what I'm here for."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods and moves on again.
<Dias`> Now let's go get drunk. 6He moves off after her

<DeathStar> Location: Cheryl's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* And so, Cheryl is at her apartment.
<Kit> 6Clang. Clang-clang.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just gets annoyed.
<Kit> 6A clutter of ringing metals sounds outside the door followed by a semi-screech and a grumpy. 1"Sou shimata yarou!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks over, and opens the door, yelling. "SHUT UP BEFORE YOU WAKE UP THE KID."
<Kit> 6Chii stares blankly, balanced on one foot in a mess of shurikens and kunais. 1"...Kid?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glares.
<Kit> <Chii> You have neighbors?" 6Whisper. 1"'Cause you just shouted..."
<DeathStar> 6* A padding sound is heard and a kid that's over a year old comes walking out from a bedroom. Cheryl smacks her head into a door
<Kit> <Chii> Holy crap. You're babysitting?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... No.
<DeathStar> 6* The kid holds up his hands at Cheryl. "Mom."
<Kit> 6Chii... gapes.
<Kit> <Chii> Y-You're...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She reaches over and picks up the kid, holding him. "Ben, this is Chii." 6* She says to the kid. The kid peers at Chii. He seems to have Warren's eyes.
<Kit> 6Chii stares blankly, blinks a few times, them smiles with charm and complete nervousness. As if trying to impress the family or whatever with good behaviour. She uncharacteristically folds her hands before her and bows. 1"Pleased t'meet you."
<Angela> NRP: *Ben forms a gun and shoots Chii. His father's son.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's like almost two. I don't think he gets bowing
<DeathStar> 6* Ben stares at Chii, then giggles.
<Kit> 6Chii straightens. 1"D-Damn it... Stupid habit from F-Freyja..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves Ben over to a chair and sets him down, giving him a glass of milk. He knocks it over. Cheryl twitches.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, he's a little shrimpish for something like that. Why not a bottle?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a kiddie cup that was left around, and fills it with milk, then sets it down. Ben grabs it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, satisfied that Ben will be occupied, sneaks into the living room and sits down.
<Kit> 6Chii gathers up her dropped weapons and deposits them back where they belong before skittering in, crouching and peering at Ben from between rooms. 1"Young tyke. Where'd ..." 6She pauses and narrows her eyes at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... What? 6* She asks flatly.
<Kit> <Chii> ...This is what Chad keeps poking fun at you about?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Among other things.
<Kit> <Chii> Aya's older.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, yeah.
<Kit> <Chii> Especially now, she's going to have the capabilities to do things this kiddo can't. I don't see why it'd annoy you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ........ Yeah. Whatever.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slouches more on the couch
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"Development and bonding's supposed to be important in the early stages. Affects the outcome."
<Kit> <Chii> Oh!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face as Chii says that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lowering her hands, Cheryl stands and goes to the fridge, grabbing a bottle of alcohol.
<Kit> 6Chii continues watching Ben, hands on either side of her face. 1"Well..."
<Kit> <Chii> I actually came to see if we could try another form of training, but...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Training? 6* She perks up
<Kit> <Chii> Mmh. We're supposed to be able to think in unison to a degree, right? Well, we tried that thing with Dias, and now that I've actually got an idea of how it... works. Somewhat. Maybe not.
<Kit> <Chii> Think you might want to try some of my habits out? You don't need to fake liking it or anything, but just knowing how they work and such has to help, right? Hell, at the very least if I go psycho again you'd have a better understanding of how to avoid crap.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You want to train ... doing habits.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares.
<Kit> <Chii> I mean weapons, basically. You know how much I carry around... the speed in my hands and eye coordination are really where I have it. So between that and all the things I carry around... You know.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her nose humored. 1"Besides, I like having as many ways to blow something to smithereens as possible."
<DeathStar> 6* Ben knocks his cup over and Cheryl sighs, moving over and refilling it with an annoyed look
<Kit> 6Chii headtilts, then goes to find something to clean up with.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scowls. "I'd be willing to throw myself off rooftops as training, if I could, but I'm stuck watching Ben today."
<Kit> 6Chii scratches her cheek, tossing a towel over her shoulder. 1"Well, technically I don't really have to do anything. I can watch him and coach."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Chii when she says "Watch him".
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think Warren would beat me to death.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks a few times. 1"Eh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I let you watch him. And Warren knows everything. Everything
<Kit> <Chii> You'd still be there. I'd just keep an eye on him while you're throwing and shooting and cutting things.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. I'll pass. 6* She sighs.
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs. 1"Oh well, then. Guess I suck at improving this bond thing. --You know if you warm the milk slightly it makes them sleepy, right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... How warm?>
<Kit> <Chii> Just a bit. A breath over luke.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snatches the cup from Ben and moves to do just that
<DeathStar> 6* Ben stares.
<Kit> 6Chii stares at Ben.
<DeathStar> 6* Ben stares at Chii, narrowing his eyes
<Kit> 6Chii blinks and narrows her eyes back, grinning.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl returns the milk, and Ben takes the cup, drinking it
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... You like kids? 6* She asks Chii slowly, staring at the exchange.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Eh. I don't know, never been around many, but they have my curiousity, you know. Having never really been one.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. Right. You want to be a kid again.
<Kit> <Chii> Somewhat of an orphan with reverse amnesia at the moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down again and drinks her alcohol. "Well, all they do is eat, poop, and sleep. Not that interesting."
<Kit> <Chii> There's more years to it than that, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Whatever.
<Kit> 6Chii chides with a hand. 1"I wasn't to be until basically my sixteenth year. Missed at least a decade that most people hold close."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I looked like this age from day 1. And I don't miss shit.
<Kit> 6Chii looks a bit solemn and shrugs silently before murmuring. 1"You don't have someone else's memories to share as your own, right? Something your body remembers, but you know you can't call your own?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Kit> 6Chii tilts her head slightly at Ben. 1"I do."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Then go eat someone's soul on death row and become a kid again.
<Kit> <Chii> What, just up and abandon you guys?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *waves her hand* It's what you want. And we can handle ourselves just fine
<Kit> 6Chii bites her lip slightly. 1"..Maybe you don't really need me or anything like that. But... I'm not even useful? In the slightest?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure, you're useful. But the fact is you should do what you want to do.
<Kit> 6Chii heaves a sigh and crosses her arms. 1"I am doing what I want... that's all I ever do. Maybe I'm just not going about it the easy way anymore."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at her. "You clearly want to become a kid. I can tell at how you go all googly eyed."
<Kit> <Chii> Eventually I can. Right now... what good would it do me?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Why bother waiting? You'll forget most of the bonds you form now anyway."
<Kit> <Chii> Nah. I can get my memories back, just not right away.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Whatever.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks a thumb at Ben. 1"If he suddenly got crammed with a couple eons of recollections, think he'd be okay?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Doubt it.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm special, but the first awakening's on the seventh year, before then... completely normal. I'd be crushed if I tried to take it all immediately.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well, I think you should do it sooner than later. The kid thing. 6* She notes, her tone more stubborn and harsh.
<Kit> 6Chii coughs. 1"If I did it now, uh... Everyone hates me and Legion's stomping around... If I didn't starve to death, being a newborn and all..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She finishes all the bottle in nearly one swallow.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms stubbornly now, too, making a childish face. 1"I'd miss all the fun and who knows when or if anything'd be left later."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well, why form connections and bonds with people that you're just going to forget for seven years?
<Kit> <Chii> I don't think Warren's desperate enough to enroll a seven year old. Though we do have some tens or something."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just remains silent. Her aura is moody and irritated. A dangerous combo for her
<Kit> 6Chii turns her head slowly and peers at Cheryl, in one of her own rare moods that seems to resemble Freyja's more complacent nature. 1"Eh? Something wrong, Cheryl? I appreciate that you're encouraging me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just snorts.
<Kit> <Chii> I really have been thinking about it... Just... We're dealing with some really crazy people as of late. My ability to sense people's intentions, reflexes in tight situations... I'm doing what I want to, I really am.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. 6* She says shortly, still not shifting in her mood.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs the back of her head. 1"Even the weird bond thing. I don't dislike it, really. If you think it's worthless, then I'll quit bugging you about it, but otherwise both for the sake of what we've called friendship and being useful to you, I'm striving to understand it better. It's not like what I'm accustomed to, eh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "What's the point? It'll break when you become a kid anyway."
<Kit> 6Chii twitches slightly and hangs her head, grabbing at her shoes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moodily stares at the floor.
<Kit> <Chii> ...It actually bothers you? That?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What bothers me? 6* She looks up at Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii makes a nervous laugh and peers at Ben again. 1"Eh, nothin'..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once, then looks back at the floor. Ben seems to be sleeping in his chair.
<Kit> <Chii> Sorry I'm so annoying, I guess. It's selfish, huh? What I'm doing?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What do you mean? 6* She looks at Chii
<Kit> 6Chii gets up and stretches after sitting so long and leans against the between room doorframe. 1"...I was criticizing Freyja for lingering on something so long, but I'm just as bad with what I want. Like you said... striving to make and keep new bonds, just to cut them clean at first opportunity."
<Kit> <Chii> I knew I could get my memories recovered, but it doesn't change the fact of a seven year essential death to anyone else..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, glancing at the floor. It seems like for once she's refusing to blatantly speak her mind.
<Kit> <Chii> No wonder I suck at being a pilot. Even when I don't think I am, I'm just thinking of myself, haa.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... So think of yourself. I don't care.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs
<Kit> 6Chii peers at the floor. 1"That's not the point of 'being one.' If things conflict too much, they naturally can't join... Look at Freyja and I."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We could break the bond. Then you'd be free to do whatever you wanted. 6* She notes.
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl... I... I don't like repeating myself, honestly. But... I've said -- ..ungh... do you..? You don't like to share your feelings, so I've tried to hold mine back, too.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing. It's true. It seems this conversation is a strain for her, since she hates talking about feelings.
<Kit> <Chii> I've never had them before, never developed-- pushed aside. Just fragments of feelings to blow away to the winds, to use to destroy something. To rend asunder something I couldn't do with experience alone, something that needed a passion.
<Kit> <Chii> Like just another shuriken or kunai, another tool to use when convenient, for trickery or or empathy in developing a situation. It's not something I like dealing with, but it's... not unpleasant what I've grown accustomed to recently. I haven't 'lived' very long, but long enough to know I enjoy life.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Kit> <Chii> I've come to the conclusion that it's not something I'll throw away. Perhaps it just makes me yet another wild creature, loose animal clinging to their thread of life desperately-- I'm not going to just grab anything I can and dive away to another experience. Maybe it's my way of trying to repay for the things I've been taught but...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I don't really understand. 6* She says after all that.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias`
<Kit> <Chii> ...
<Kit> 6Chii purses her lips in annoyance, perhaps, then peers away stubbornly. 1"I care too much for certain people I know to just up and disappear when I don't know if they'll be safe."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... so, when you're satisfied they are 'safe', you'll just poof and become a kid, then?
<Kit> <Chii> At least if I stay with you, if I really must, I can make sure that the reincarnation technique is used on something that could otherwise cause irreparable harm.
<Kit> 6Chii practically tears, glancing back. 1"I'm not a hero, right? Would you prefer I die in a blaze or something?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at her sharply. She looks pissed. "Who said I wanted you to die?"
<Kit> 6Chii gulps and retracts. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know what? Forget it. I don't need you, or anyone else, to make sure I'm safe. I can handle myself just fine. So if you want to start all over with your life as a kid, don't hold off on my fucking account.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Even if you don't.. I really do.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* So, what, you protect me, then when you're all satisfied you did a good job, you start a new life as a toddler and forget about me?
<Kit> 6Chii holds her knees and pulls them up in a further uncharacteristic manner. 1"...No.."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing now. Her ranting seems over.
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Kit> <Chii> I have not ...decided that far yet... since.. everything changed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She gets up and gets two more bottles of alcohol. She thrusts one into Chii's hands and sits back down, opening her bottle.
<Kit> 6Chii stares at the bottle incredulously.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks from her bottle. She seems less moody now.
<Kit> <Chii> Purification isn't my thing... but if it's for... you know.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh?
<Kit> 6Chii backs the bottle once and gulps. 1"...I think I could manage it once, if it meant I could stay..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't get it. Purification?
<Kit> <Chii> The point of the reincarnation... purification of an acquired soul.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her bottle right away. She eyes the bottle, wiggling it.
<Kit> 6Chii takes another swig, then tosses the bottle for Cheryl, eyeing toward Ben. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl catches it without looking, then turns to look at Chii looking at Ben.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You must think I'm a crappy mother, hm.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Why?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<Kit> <Chii> If you're referring to me, I never had one.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't have to have a mom to know a crappy one when you see one.
<Kit> <Chii> But if I had to think of the term, I guess it would be a mother that knows perfectly well what she must do, but decides to avoid it for convenience or her own whims.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is silent again now
<Kit> 6Chii leans on a hand. 1"Hrmph. Maybe you know a thing or two, but you don't strike me as the sort to have read about it or anything. I doubt you really had many prime examples of what the hell you're doing with something that drools all over you and didn't come with schematics or a manual."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't need excuses. I'm a terrible mother.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm a soul-less demon, then.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks a few times. 1"Wait, I am. I mean, er... Fuck."
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses the bottles down on the floor, looking moody again, but it's not directed at Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii walks over and picks the bottles up, going to deposit them in a trash, then returns and sits across from Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Chii.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh...?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You threw away my bottles.
<Kit> <Chii> They were empty.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Still. 6* She gives Chii an odd look.
<Kit> 6Chii inclines her head. 1"You save them for something?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks a few times. 1"...Should I not?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *shrugs* I don't care.
<Kit> 6Chii inclines her head a second time, then goes to check a thermostat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at her even more oddly.
<Kit> 6Chii doesn't touch anything for god's sakes, just looks.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a normal temp for this type of spring weather.
<Kit> 6Chii nods once and goes back to sitting in the doorway, peering toward the kid with narrowed eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Chii, then frowns a bit, glancing at the wall.
<Kit> <Chii> Oi, Cheryl, c'mere.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why?
<Kit> <Chii> There's something we can work on even here, when I thought about it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just snorts.
<DeathStar> 6* She gets to her feet and walks over.
<Kit> <Chii> If you're concentrating on it, you can essentially grasp the overall impression of three people to a limited prediction, right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Yeah.
<Kit> <Chii> This should be easy for you, then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....... 6* She stares at Chii with a strange expression.
<Kit> 6Chii holds up one hand and uses her sleight to briefly sequence showing five numbers in a row. Four, two, five, one, three.
<Kit> <Chii> Can you repeat the numbers?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... No.
<Kit> <Chii> Once more, then.1" Two, One, Three, Five, Four.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, then repeats the numbers blandly.
<Kit> 6Chii grins widely. 1"I have to say I'm a little disappointed in my speed, but if I weren't, this wouldn't do any good."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You realize this has nothing to do with my ability to track three people, right...?
<Kit> <Chii> Nope, this is just perception like I've been using.
<Kit> 6Chii holds up the other hand now. 1"Okay, the real thing then. This time I'll use both hands, give me the total of the two numbers put together, but I'm not going to go any slower."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<Kit> 6Chii giggles lightly, then begins. Two & three, one & five, four & four, two & three, three & one.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just shakes her head.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? You couldn't get it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, I couldn't.
<Kit> <Chii> Did you at least catch most of the numbers? Is it because you're worried about adding?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets a slightly irritated look, but who knows why, with her. "I can add just fine. I just can't track two sets of fingers moving rapidly."
<Kit> 6Chii smiles softer. 1"Okay, well.. that's sort of the point of this. See, most of what I taught Jennifer was a crash course on reflexive targeting. You and I are above that, however and normally deal with a bunch of targets, not just one."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, this won't help me. 6* She notes, her tone curt.
<Kit> <Chii> I like having two guns and blades handy because, if I need to, I can use them independently. Besides minimizing being predicted by movement, that's the other advantage of ambidexterity.
<Kit> 6Chii taps her lip wincing. 1"Well, if you say that, you know yourself best. I couldn't tell you for sure if it would really help or not, just... I had an idea."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just looks moody, glancing to the side. "Look, if you want to know so bad, my brain isn't set up to follow lots of moving shit at once."
<Kit> <Chii> Isn't that... your ability, though?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... That's my programming. And it only works with perceived threats. Your fingers aren't exactly trigging my self-defensive and attack programming. Sorry.
<Kit> <Chii> I could arm them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It wouldn't matter.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms and sighs dejectedly. 1"Well... I thought perhaps it would increase your capability with the predictions if your normal perception could handle more on its own... that and if you understood how I fought we would be closer to the sync thing."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm a weapon, Chii. 6* Her lips curl in a strange smile. "If you want to play with that side of me, be my guest. But you can't get my normal brain to keep up. Sorry."
<Kit> <Chii> You're alive. I was basically born something of a weapon myself, but being alive means we have the potential to evolve beyond our forethoughts... I will respect your wishes though... It's not like it would help us get along or unify or whatever if I just pissed you off harassing with dumb puzzles.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sorry. I don't play well with others. It's why I don't bond. 6* She notes, sighing a bit.
<Kit> <Chii> And I do?" 6Eyebrows arch.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs.
<Kit> <Chii> For someone who doesn't bond, you sure have a lot of lackies...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* I do not.
<Kit> <Chii> Any idea how many people have given me weird advice and creepy looks since we bonded first?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Well. You know how many people just like to hear themselves talk?
<Kit> <Chii> Then the two martial tarts started coming to you ritually more often to hang out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jsut frowns.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks at the ceiling. 1"Heck, I think even Angela showed up and maybe Warren and Chad got a little defensive about it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. I don't have lackeys. Like I said. People just like to hear themselves talk.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her lip with her knuckles. 1"Come to think of it, I think that guy still hates my guts. I might have congratulated him for shooting Freyja had it not been for her soul escaping, but he treated me like..."
<Kit> <Chii> Well, like her father treated her. Haa.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chad's Chad. Besides, he'd just give me crap about the bond, not you. It's more efficent.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? Has he?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chad's Chad.
<Kit> <Chii> Well that pisses me off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh?
<Kit> 6Chii pouts. 1"Could at least say it to my face. Prick."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* He doesn't care about you. Hence why he doesn't say it to your face.
<Kit> <Chii> He doesn't care about anyone. Usually. Seen glimpses of otherwise once or twice.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She glances at the floor at that line
<Kit> <Chii> Usually have holes in me or some raging psychopath with the power of a devil lurking around, so it's hard to see what the hell it's attached to.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing still.
<Kit> 6Chii pats Cheryl's head once.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares up at her slowly. "I'm not a dog."
<Kit> <Chii> Nope. But might have been good training to see if I could get my hand back before you ripped it off.
<Kit> 6Chii retracts it eerily.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sneers* If you want me to rip it off, I can.
<Kit> <Chii> No... I think I've overstayed my welcome, or lack thereof, today...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, almost guilty.
<Kit> 6Chii rises and peers at Ben. 1"...Don't uh, overdo the milk thing. Give 'em the runs and I think you know who'll actually pay for it. Best just for good-nights, and a bit of rattling or music'll keep 'em asleep."
<Kit> <Chii> Ironically I know this from cradlerobbing-- but also from Freyja's memories.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<Kit> 6Chii jerks and stares at Cheryl. 1"No!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her.
<Kit> <Chii> Literal cradlerobbing. Robbing. From. A cradle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just keeps eyeing her.
<Kit> 6Chii facepalms. 1"Look, it was a family heirloom beheld by an orphan in neoeuropean sect. Twenty freakin' kids around him all the time."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay. I'm not judging.
<Kit> <Chii> A certain bell.
<Kit> 6Chii sighs in exasperation, heading for the door. 1"Was... virgin ...'till Kat... ungh... goddamn common...'
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her brow. "Okay. More info than I needed."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be studying Chii from behind as she escapes.
<Kit> 6Chii indeed makes a hurried escape, not bothering to watch her surroundings and the likes for once, heaving outside the door. 1"F-Fucking wordplays!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs after she's gone, brunching a bunch of her hair with her hand. It seems she has something bothering her, but who knows what.

<DeathStar> 6* More than a week has passed since we learned that Chii was a cradle robber.
<DeathStar> NRP: *runs off to the ooc room*
<Kit> 6Another knock resounds at Cheryl's place.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Cheryl looks out. She has some cereal in her hair. She does not look amused.
<Kit> 6Chii stares, then quickly covers her mouth trying to hide a smile. 1"Hello, Cheryl."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's gaze sharpens as Chii covers her mouth. "Chii."
<Kit> <Chii> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Kit> 6Chii's posture changes, she enters kunoichi mode. Her hands lower revealing no smile.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... .... 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth, then speaks. "What do you want?"
<Kit> 6Part of being a female ninja is acting. She suddenly looks hurt and reels back, eyes watering. 1"I... I can't visit my friend...!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs. "Fine. Come on in."
<Kit> 6Chii grins widely and assumes a normal stance, nodding before entering.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shuts the door after Chii and moves over to sit down on the couch. No sign of Ben
<Kit> <Chii> So what's up?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing. 6* She grumbles, irritated.
<Kit> <Chii> ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Kit> 6Chii gazes around, mostly along the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just gazes at nothing
<Kit> <Chii> ...Where's Ben?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> In his bed. Thank God.
<Kit> 6Chii raises an eyebrow and moves down the hall a bit and peeks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth even more. Indeed, Ben is in bed.
<Kit> 6Chii returns, smiling brightly with her eyes closed, fingertips of both hands resting on her warmed cheeks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii.
* Kit opens her eyes slightly after a chill and blinks. 1"...Eh?"
<Kit> NRP: Chii. Grr. >_>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances out the window instead of saying anything
<Kit> <Chii> O-Oy! What's that supposed to mean..!?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .....
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms and stares at Cheryl narrowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores the narrow glare.
<Kit> <Chii> What's with you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing.
<Kit> <Chii> You seem. bBored.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Well. Duh.
<Kit> <Chii> So fix it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great idea. 6* Her voice is full of sarcasm
<Kit> <Chii> Sure is. Usually works.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just lays on the couch, closing her eyes.
<Kit> 6Chii walks over and sits, leaning against the side of the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps laying there, perhaps even asleep.
<Kit> 6Chii does so as well, with a motive.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, time passes.
<Kit> 6Chii stands, grinning, then goes to check on Ben
<DeathStar> 6* Ben is still drooling
<Kit> 6Chii creeps in quietly and approaches.
<DeathStar> 6* The almost two-year old doesn't sense the soul eater approaching. He is asleep
<Kit> 6Chii leans over and looms.
<DeathStar> 6* And Ben sleeps.
<Kit> 6Chii reaches back into her main satchel and rummages around, then reaches out and slips a rectangular hoody on Ben with little points.
<DeathStar> 6* If only Ben knew, his fury would be epic
<Kit> 6Chii stalks out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drools on the couch
<Kit> 6Chii sneaks over and looms.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps sleeping. Who knows if that'll last if she's stupid enough to put a hoody on Cheryl
<Kit> 6Chii attempts a headband with cat ears instead.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's hand grabs her wrist, crushing.
<Kit> <Chii> Eee..!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes.
<Kit> 6Chii grins widely, albheit sheepish.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You had better be trying to plant a kiss on me. Because if you were about to put that shit on my head, I'll have to throw you out the window.
<Kit> <Chii> I can kiss you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck no
<Kit> 6Chii stares, boggled.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets Chii go.
<Kit> 6Chii slips the band on instead. 1"Sleepy, much?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* The scene shifts to outside, right at a garbage bin. Chii goes flying into from 5 stories up.
<DeathStar> 6* But, that didn't actually happen.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii wearing the hoody.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You look ridiculous.
<Kit> 6Chii gazes up at the cat ear headband. 1"Really?"
<Kit> <Chii> I used to have ears like that anyway, didn't I?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There's a difference.
<Kit> <Chii> There is?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. That looks ridiculous.
<Kit> <Chii> So I looked ridiculous as a hanyou shadow?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, THAT looks ridiculous.
<Kit> <Chii> They look the same, 'cept these are black.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Whatever.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at the ceiling, as if that means she wins
<Kit> 6Chii removes the ears and sits back down.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... 6* She crosses her arms, as if thinking about saying something, but decides not to
* Kulix has joined #Taw
<Kit> <Chii> I've been overworking a bit lately, so if you don't mind...6" She stretches.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Eh?
<Kit> <Chii> I kind of feel like napping.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You came over here to sleep?
<Kit> <Chii> ...You guys fell asleep first. Besides, remember where I'm staying?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Where are you staying?
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"The base."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, right.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sounds like she'd rather be there.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to look at Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii is leaning her head back to peer upwards as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts. "Fine. Stay as long as you want."
<Kit> 6Chii grins widely. 1"Thanks."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But if you move in, you're babysitting.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? Thought that wasn't allowed?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever. Warren can kiss my ass.
<Kit> <Chii> That's the spirit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, closing her eyes.

<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo
* Jennifer` is making her way off school grounds, ignoring the Tokyo Styled reconstruction crews that seem to trail the team's wake.
<Kit> 6Megumi stalks the other child.
* Jennifer` looks about, feeling she's being stalked, seeing as Aya is not in this Mini.
<Kit> 6Hence why no further mention is needed.
<SPoC> 6Dias sits on a park bench, his head slumped back, a baseball cap on this time.
* Jennifer` walks by, stopping as her turns her head, seeing him, following a hunch she walks into the park and over towards him.
<SPoC> 6Dias doesn't move an inch, his head facing up towards the sky
* Jennifer` sits down next to him. "Mister Dias?"
<SPoC> 6Dias doesn't looks over. 1"Mister? What the hell's up with that?"
* Jennifer` blinks a bit, "Well... you're older, an adult, and work for my Dad, so Mister is a proper title."
<SPoC> <Dias> If your gonna give me a title, call me Super Hero Dias. 6He waves his hand. "Or Awesome Dias. Something like that.
<Jennifer`> "So what're you doing all alone out here?"
<SPoC> <Dias> There something wrong with a guy out on a beautiful day, enjoying the scenery?
<Jennifer`> "Well from all the stuff you and Mister Jones always talk about... I'd figure you scouting for girls rather then sitting here daydreaming."
<SPoC> <Dias> Eh, I'm taking a break on scouting for girls.
<Jennifer`> "I see. How's that workin for you?"
* Jennifer` fixes the skirt of her uniform a little.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'd say it's going great.
<Jennifer`> "Ah... if I'm interrupting I could go."
<SPoC> <Dias> It's fine, if I lived with Warren, I wouldn't be in a rush to get home either.
* Jennifer` giggles a little. "Nah, it's not like he gets home early or anything... So, how's your training going lately?"
<SPoC> <Dias> I've cut back on that too. I only work on maintaining what I have right now.
* Jennifer` titls her head a little, leaning over and looking at him. "Think you could help me train? I feel like I hit a plataeu."
<SPoC> <Dias> You're young. You're going to hit a wall.
<Jennifer`> "I suppose... but I've only been concentrating on my studies and melee weaponry... I think I need to get back to some hand to hand..."
<SPoC> <Dias> Eh? 6He slowly looks over at her, his head still hanging back.
<Jennifer`> "Dad told me before that I need to study all styles and aspects of combat... become a sort of jack of all trades."
<Jennifer`> "You and Marcus are the best with hand to hand so..."
<SPoC> <Dias> My style of fighting isn't suited for you body frame.
<Jennifer`> "Well yeah... but I figured a guy as strong as you might be able to help teach me how to fight reguardless."
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm not a good teacher Jen. I just know how to punch shit.
<Jennifer`> "Oh... okay."
* Jennifer` kicks her legs out a little. "How about teaching me to be a hero?"
* Xanatos has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<SPoC> <Dias> And why would you want to be a hero? 6He looks at her again.
<Jennifer`> "Why wouldn't I?" *she looks at him curiously*
<SPoC> <Dias> Because you're a sane kid. 6He eyes her oddly
<Jennifer`> "You have to be insane to be a hero?"
<SPoC> <Dias> It helps.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Jennifer`> "I see... maybe I'll have to learn to be a sane hero then."
<SPoC> <Dias> Hah, good luck with that.
<Xanatos> Now that's impossible. *Marcus walks up to them, out of nowhere, hands in his pockets.*
<SPoC> 6Dias snaps his head up and looks over at Marcus. 1"See?"
* Jennifer` lokos at them both slowly. "Hey Mister Jones."
<Xanatos> Hey, hey. *He pulls his hands out of his pockets* What's up?
<SPoC> NRP: <Dias> AHH XAN'S HERE!
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<Marcus`> NRP: SHew!
<Jennifer`> "Talkin about training."
<Marcus`> Oh right. You know, most people say that a hero is a person that usually dies for a cause. Or wait, that's a martyr. Well I guess a hero is kinda like that.
<SPoC> <Dias> That's why I'm a super hero. 6He notes
<Jennifer`> "Ah, then I will learn to not be a hero, Super Heroes don't die, right?"
<SPoC> <Dias> No, they die.
<Jennifer`> "Oh..."
<Jennifer`> "Then how about highly survivable soldier?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Well that I can't help you with
<Kit> 6Chii eggs on a dog in the background, then finally tosses a stick for it which it leaps and catches-- falling into a pond. She snickers and carries on.
* Jennifer` pouts a little.
<Marcus`> Everyone dies Jen. It's just up to you one how you want it to happen.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances behind him at the sound of a dog hitting the water and he looks, seeing Chii carry on. He begins to plot.
<Jennifer`> "Old age."
<Marcus`> Then don't fight, move away from all of this and get you a nice place up in the mountains.
<Jennifer`> "Sometimes you have to fight though."
<SPoC> <Dias> Pscht, screw that. I plan on dieing during the act of sex.
<Marcus`> Never go into a fight without being able to accept your own death.
* Jennifer` blinks a bit and looks at Marcus. "Alright."
* Jennifer` gently runs her real hand over her replacement.
<Jennifer`> "I've also kinda accepted that I can't really run away either."
* Marcus` crosses his arms, studying Jennifer. "You can, anyone can run. But when you run you expose your back. I personally want to see what's coming for me. I want to expect it."
<SPoC> <Dias> Marcus really hates taking it from behind.
* Jennifer` thinks about that. "I... huh?"
* Jennifer` looks at Dias.
<Jennifer`> "What's that mean?"
<Marcus`> It was a gay joke.
<Jennifer`> "...Gay... joke?"
<Jennifer`> "A happy joke?"
* Marcus` slaps Dias. "When the fuck are you going to ask Cheryl out anyway? I thought we talked about this already, you two would be good together." he says to Dias.
* Marcus` pauses and looks at Jennifer. "Gay. Homosexual. He's calling me gay.'
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks and stares at Marcus. 1"We talked about that?"
<Jennifer`> "Homo... ohhh, you like boys?"
<Marcus`> Maybe? *he shrugs and taps his chin* Actually I just see it in your body language. You dig her.
* Marcus` glances at Jen again. "No. That's why it was a joke."
<Jennifer`> "Ah... yeah I thought it was strange since you got Miss Bennet pregnant and all."
<Marcus`> Yeah, use protection. Babies suck. Err, well babies are great and all, but not when you're not ready for them. Right?
<Jennifer`> "Yeah... I don't plan on dating for a long time."
<SPoC> <Dias> Smart choice. Guys are dicks.
<Marcus`> Oh way to avoid the conversation, asshole. *he eyes Dias*
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Marcus again. 1"What's there to say?"
<Marcus`> Say something to the effect of 'Fuck no, that ho is ugly.' or 'Hell yeah, she's got some nice hoo-hahs.'
<Jennifer`> "If Dias and CHeryl got together... that'd be a little weird for me."
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Jen. 1"How the hell is that wierd?"
* Marcus` looks to Jen, as well.
<Jennifer`> "Well, since Dad is Ben's father..."
<Marcus`> He isn't, though.
<Jennifer`> "Isn't he?"
* Jennifer` looks confused.
<SPoC> <Dias> Not technically.
<Jennifer`> "How's that?"
<Marcus`> Ben's father is dead. This Warren is a Warren from another reality. The past actually.
* Jennifer` stares a little.
<Marcus`> It's the reason why Warren and Cheryl aren't together. Cheryl's Warren is dead.
<Jennifer`> "So... Dad... is like me reality wise...?"
<Marcus`> Basically. Dunno why it's just you Carmicheals that are all reality warped. Maybe your family is cursed or something,
<SPoC> 6Dias reaches into his sweatshirt and pulls out a chart. He shows it to her, explaining everything with fancy lines, loops and pie graphs.
<Marcus`> I can't believe you still carry around that chart. You're such a geek sometimes, man.
<Jennifer`> "Or blessed... depending on how you look at it."
<SPoC> <Dias> What? I like my charts.
<Marcus`> If it was me. I'd rather stay exactly where I am. No matter the outcome. Getting flip flopped around in other realities seems like a huge headache and a pain in the ass.
<SPoC> <Dias> I can only assume in all the other realities, you've been jailed already
<Jennifer`> "Well... it's not like I chose to be here."
<Jennifer`> "But I'm here now... so's he. So I guess that's that."
<Marcus`> Psch. I'm a good boy. You're the bad influence.
<SPoC> <Dias> Says the guy who claims he was in a gang.
<Marcus`> Oh dear god. We've went over this. I was only in it because of my friend and then he died and so that was that.

MAIN SESSION

Session Start: Thu Feb 14 20:01:01 2008
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080214.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.6.9
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo
* Jackieness is now known as Myria
<DeathStar> 6* It has been a little over two months since the team brought down the corrupt President Talon, and his Vice President took on the role as Acting President. During this time, unnamed candidates have been veying for the role of President during the emergency elections at the end of the year. In a not so subtle move, Alexander Cran became a Vice President candidate for one of the runners, and is clearly working his way back into power
<DeathStar> 6* Warren Carmichael's Dark Ones Elimination Unit has slowly been building up over the two months. They have taken no major assignments, as the base and all it's equipment is built and settled in, just on the outskirts of Tokyo, where they can launch effectively and quickly to deal with problems. So far, over the two months, the Dark Ones have made no moves, nor their shapeshifting allies. Also, Legion has not appeared,
<DeathStar> 6* despite their public status
<DeathStar> 6* And so, during this time, all has been well. The base is finished, a new doctor has been hired on, gears have been bought, shuttles lined up, and top of the art military equipment purchased. The brain damage done to Pope and Drake has been temporarily reverted due to neural enhancers, while a more long term solution is found.
<DeathStar> 6* Currently, those on the unit have had the option of living on the base, or in Tokyo, with everyone being able to do as they pleased. Today the first offical meeting will be held, but that is in a little while. For now, those who are not on the base are just arriving...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in the medical office of the new doctor, Duce Caus, who goes by Duce for short. "Are you certain?" 6* The Doctor nods. Warren frowns, gets up, and pops a vicodin. <Doctor> There have been breakthroughts, General. I'm sur--- <Warren> Forget it. And don't mention it to anyone
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out into the hallway, eyeing his watch. About 40 mins until the meeting briefing in the conference room.
* Marcus` whistles as he walks up towards the Base, hands in his pockets. It seems he still doesn't have transportation so he just walked.
<Jennifer`> * Darce leans in a corner of the conference room, eyes closed and arms crossed, apparently dozing.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake works on his eye/hand coordination in the training room. He swings a wooden sword around.
<SPoC> 6A car pulls up infront of the base and Dias steps out, a backpack on his shoulder. He talks briefly to whoever's inside and then shuts the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pounds on a bag, working out aggression on it. She looks like she's pissed, as usual.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron stands of to the side observing Drake, curious of his physical state. Every so often Theron's eyes moves to Cheryl, before going back to Drake.
<Marcus`> Yo Dias. Long time no see. Way to leave me hanging, ass.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope works on a shuttle in the hanger, smoking weed.
* Myria tinkers in her laboratory.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks around and eyes the time, shrugging a little as he sees the room still clear, he walks once around the room, before stepping out, heading down the hallway.
* Ariel idly wanders the base, trying to familiarize herself with the site.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves into his office, taking a seat and glancing over paperwork.
<SPoC> <Dias> You're still surprised? 6He walks alongside him
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl knocks the bag off it's chains, sending it flying across the room. Drake ducks.
<Jennifer`> * Darce turns a corner and heads down a flight of stairs, slowly peeking into Myria's lab.
<Marcus`> God no. I've come to accept that i'm not your BFF anymore. *he sighs dramatically*
<Marcus`> 6 *Theron glances over at Cheryl. 1"Is something bothering you, Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm great.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head, eyeing the bag, then Cheryl, then the bag.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps you could excercise caution. Mr. Drake is still getting back to his previous self.
<Kit> 6Lilith enters the room, peering between Cheryl, the loudest, Theron, the closest, and Drake, whom she sought.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out, wondering why Lilith isn't in school
<SPoC> <Dias> That's cold man. Cold.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tags quietly behind Lilith, instead of vice versa.
<Myria> *tinker tinker*
<Kit> 6Out in the hall. 1"Cheryl! Hey, can we go have a match? We got like half an hour and Ben's not around.."
* SPoC sits in one of the weapons rooms. Tearing apart a gun
<Jennifer`> * Darce creeps into the lab, watching her quietly.
<Marcus`> Coming from the man that doesn't call. I mean, hell if my girl ever did that, she wouldn't be my girl, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at the source of the voice. "You want to spar?"
<SPoC> <Dias> And why didn't you call me ever? You know to make sure I wasn't face up in a gutter.
<Kit> <Chii> It's been ages! Always watching Ben.
<Myria> ...let's see...exposure of the sample to the prototype shows no change.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns a bit. "Fine. Where do you want to do it?"
<Kit> 6Lilith enters the room further and studies Drake, circling twice and frowning.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Whatcha workin on Dove?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses, glancing at Lilith slowly. His reaction times seem a bit off.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron glances back to Drake and Lilith after CHeryl's dramatic exit.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...something wrong?"
<Myria> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
<Marcus`> I tried you jerkoff. Everytime I called I got that dumbass voicemail of yours and you know that my policy is that I don't leave messages.
<Kit> <Lilith> Sir Drake is awake.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh, yeah. 6* He rubs the back of his head.
<Jennifer`> * Darce holds his ear a little. "Sonic weaponry is it?"
<Kit> <Chii> Well, if we did it in here wouldn't Warren skin us? Outside like last time?
<SPoC> <Dias> Really? 6He pulls out his cell phone, eyeing it. 1"Huh, must've died."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There's other people and stuff outside. Lets do it in the training room
<Kit> 6Lilith takes a step and hugs Drake.
<Myria> Do not sneak up on me!
<Kit> <Chii> Uh, okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves into a secondary training room, since the main one is occupied.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Sorry Dove." *he smiles and looks at her, the smile turning into a grin*
<Kit> <Chii> Holy, multiple rooms!?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses, his face going red. "Uh, Li-Lilith?"
<Kit> <Lilith> I am glad.
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses after a moment, steps back and eyes Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nervously rubs the back of his head. Again. "N-N-Nice to see you, t-to-too."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel watches them curiously, but says nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves into the center of the second room, then turns to face Chii. She puts a hand on her hip.
<Myria> ...what?
<Kit> <Chii> So is this still a non-weapons facility?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This room can handle weapons. Not explosion
<SPoC> 6Dias moves inside now. 1"So why didn't you try me comm?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "You're pretty when you're flustered."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances at Lilith, holding out his hand. "Hello, Miss. Raquel."
<DeathStar> *Raquel
<Kit> 6Lilith steps back from them, gazing off.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel curtseys, "...hello, mister Drake."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses, then bows.
* Marcus` steps inside with Dias and glances around, "Wow. Nice place."
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, ignore my question. Jerk.
* SPoC finishes putting a gun back together and moves to putting it away.
<Marcus`> Oh yeah, I couldn't find my comm. I should probably get onto cleaning my place.
<Kit> <Chii> So like last time, minus the bomb?
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, that's what I thought.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Minus the bomb.
* Myria eyes Darce suspiciously.
<Kit> <Chii> Sweet! Say when!
<Jennifer`> * Darce eyes Myria admiringly. "So, what's this new porject of yours?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> When.
<DeathStar> <Drake> How have you two been? 6* He glances at them. He hasn't seen them since his recovery.
<Kit> 6Lilith reaches forward and snatches Raquel's right hand and Drake's left, tugging them away from the training room.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake acks.
<Marcus`> Yeah yeah. I figured if you wanted to hang out, you'd give me a ring. *he glances around, then opts to move towards the conference room*
<Kit> 6Chii yanks out both guns and fires at Cheryl, a bit off.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron stands there...alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists her body, letting the shots pass her.
<SPoC> <Dias> This place is kinda sweet tho.
<Kit> 6Chii keeps firing. 1"Hey, I just realized."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her footing, swinging her body to avoid the shots. "What?"
<Myria> Well, I'm testing countermeasures to Dakr One biotechnology.
<DeathStar> <Drake> W-Wh-where are we going?
* SPoC steps out of the weapons room and moves down the hallway, her hair pulled back in a short pony-tail
<Kit> 6Chii squints, and shifts, yanking out both swords instead. 1"I'm still nerfed. No explosions or ninpo."
<Marcus`> Yeah seriously. I should've just stayed here.
<Jennifer`> "No luck so far?" *he seems far more interested in her then the technology*
<Ariel> 6* Raquel waits for Lilith to answer the question
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Too bad for you.
<SPoC> <Dias> I bet it's dry tho.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, if I win, what do I get?
<Myria> Well, the Dark One cells don't seem to die fast enough...so they are able to regenerate fast enough to make it seem like there is no effect.
<Kit> 6Lilith releases them both in the galley, then turns, shutting the doors with them inside, her out.
<Marcus`> Wouldn't change much. I've been dry for 1 month and 3 weeks.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares, then looks at Raquel.
<DeathStar> <Drake> What was that about?
<SPoC> <Dias> Really? That's lame. 6He turns and stares at a tanner SPoC walks by
<Kit> <Chii> You want something?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It makes it more interesting.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...w-wha? ...Lilith?" <...what are you doing?>
* Marcus` tilts his head and follows SPoC with his eyes. "Yo SPoC."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Mmm... increase the output?"
<Kit> 6Lilith stammers. <W-Will return!>
<Myria> Do you want to melt?
* SPoC stops and turns to the two. 1"Marcus. Dias. It is nice to see you two again."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head, glancing at Raquel again.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks and begins moving in a semicircle to the right. 1"What do you want, then?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. A month's supply of rocket fuel.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks dumbfounded.
<Marcus`> You're looking very attractive. Keep up the good work. *he nods to her and turns to move off*
<Kit> 6Chii literally trips, but remains standing. 1"Ergh, that's not bad at all..."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...she's never done anything like this before..."
<SPoC> <SPoC> Thank you. You are looking less ugly yourself.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake swallows. He seems pretty intimidated, despite being older. "You think this is a test?"
<Marcus`> I'll take that as a compliment. *he chuckles a little and shakes his head*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. And what do you want if YOU win? 6* She makes it sound unlikely, and is just humoring her
<Ariel> Raquel> "I... do not know."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake checks the door.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hah.
<Kit> 6Chii stops and points. 1"Sister's greeting!"
<Marcus`> 6* Theron silently moves about the area, having nothing to do.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sister's what?
<SPoC> I have been working on my humor. 6She smiles softly
<Kit> 6Chii gets one of her narrow-eyed grins.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just seems like that went over her head.
<Marcus`> Not bad. Not bad at all. *he nods and moves from walking away backwards to shifting around to walk away the right way*
<Kit> <Chii> Old custom. We weren't shy as twins... greeting kiss when we met.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses. "You want a kiss?" 6* She laughs once.
<Kit> <Chii> When we meet after being apart!
<SPoC> <Dias> Good to see ya again X, Z, alphabet girl. 6He nods and walks off with Marcus
<Kit> 6Chii shakes both hands holding the swords. 1"What's so funny?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly dashes at Chii, literally for a ram.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake assumes the door is...unlocked!
<Kit> 6Lilith is standing there, a la maid outfit.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake jerks back.
<Kit> <Lilith> I apologise for the wait. Are you hungry?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake tries to form words, but he can't. His eyes just get bigger.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stares.
* SPoC moves off down the base.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Melt? What are you doin to counteract?"
<Marcus`> Dude is me, or has she gotten hotter?
<Marcus`> NRP: is it*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his forehead as he does his paperwork, then shoves it off the side, popping another vicodin
<SPoC> <Dias> I'd have to agree with you on that.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake manages words. "Lilith?!"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...why are you...?"
<Kit> 6Chii yelps slightly and falters backwards, skidding, she exchanges one sword for gun and brings the remaining sword up to slash at the oncoming Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Drake> ..Dressed like...?
<Myria> Well...let's see...you can keep the power down low...or you cna turn it up to the point where it disrupts other organic structures as well.
<Marcus`> I sure hope everyone else has gotten hotter. Could you imagine Cheryl? 6* He lets out a low whistle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the slash, even if it does major damage. It seems like she's forcing Chii to injury her. And then she suddenly activates her whip and tries to punch Chii in the nose with it.
<Kit> <Lilit> This is what I wore before, did I not?
<SPoC> <Dias> Wow, you really should've not worked and went out and saw people
<Kit> 6Lilith moves for the facilities and moves to check cupboards and bins.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Mmm... so you haven't completely isolated a frequency?"
<Myria> Nope!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves into the conference room after awhile, sitting down. He looks at his datapad.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks at Lilith, then at Drake, and frowns a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake takes a seat, remaining quiet. He seems more nervous.
* SPoC steps into the conference room and sits down. 1"Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* Who knows how his neural enhancement is working
<Marcus`> I valued eating and having money over hanging out with people.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up at SPoC, offering a nod. "Hello, Natalie."
<Marcus`> 6 *Theron steps inside and takes a seat off to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* He evaluates her looks, then looks at his datapad. "You spend too much time with McCormick."
<Kit> 6Chii erks as she lightly gouges across one of Cheryl's arms. 1"Hey, you're not even try-- Oh hell!" 6She protrudes the gun up, but instead ducks her head slightly, taking a punch to the hardened bone in defense, intending to aim the left hand's gun directly at Cheryl
<Myria> Oh, its time to go! *turns off her light show*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl brings her knee forward as she ducks down, aiming to hit her face with her knee.
<SPoC> <Dias> You mean you already went through the money you made off the PAX2?
* SPoC looks down at herself. 1"I do now understand what you mean. Is this not the proper clothing for the season?"
<Jennifer`> * Darce nods, "We don't wanna be late."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Myria heads to the conference room.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel steps back, literally, so she doesn't get between Lilith and Drake.
<Jennifer`> * Darce heads out ahead of her and into the conference room. fixing his coat a bit as he returns to his corner.
<Kit> 6Chii looses a shot over Cheryl's head, eyeing the knee, she drops the gunhand's arm and drives her elbow down into the top of Cheryl's thigh to halt the attack, sweeping back and driving her outside leg around for a trip.
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren turns on the HoloVid, looking at some Presidential debates occurring currently. Alexander Cran is in the background.
<SPoC> I am confused now. 6She get's an odd look on her face as she thinks.
<Marcus`> I just like to be insured, is all. I've got this awesome system lined out, it's going to be great. I just need some more cash. *he moves around a corner then steps into the conference room*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks at Raquel.
<SPoC> <Dias> Awesome...System?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gives a small smile
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii's shoulders, and does a backflip using Chii's body, so she avoids the sweep. She lands behind Chii, throwing back her elbow for her kidney area.
<Kit> 6Lilith eventually returns with severely burned bacon and charred sausage links and presents them to the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake swallows nervously, eyeing the burnt food. "L-Looks good."
<Marcus`> Financial system. Using cash deposits and encorporating monthly interest for letting the bank keep your money. I've figured out how to be set for life. I just need aroud 100k in the bank.
<Jennifer`> Darce> *yawns loudly*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches the HoloVid, more distracted than usual. Doctor Duce walks in, taking a seat.
<SPoC> <Dias> That's it?
* SPoC looks up, snapping out of it. She nods to Doctor Duce. 1"Doctor Dousch."
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Vulcan.
<Marcus`> With that and depending on the bank I could be making around 4k a month, for nothing. *he tilts his head to glance around at everyone and moves to sit down*
* SPoC tilts her head. 1"I do not understand."
<DeathStar> <Doctor> You wouldn't.
* Myria steps into the conference room and takes a seat as well.
<Marcus`> You're the new Doc? *he glances to Duce.* Marcus. *he holds out a hand*
<DeathStar> 6* The Doctor shakes his hand. "Duce."
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at the doc. 1"Like the card?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake grabs a bacon and bites into it, making a "mmm, this is good face" For Lilith's sake.
<Kit> 6Chii grits her teeth as she takes a shot, bringing her own elbow back to Cheryl, setting the gun away and sheathing the blade, reaching into her waist satchel, and the striking elbow reaches for a shoulder set.
<Jennifer`> * Darce eyes the Doc queitly, giving him a once over. "Good to meet yah Doc."
* Marcus` nods once and pulls his hand back.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...good... face...?"
<DeathStar> NRP: That was an action
<Marcus`> 6* Theron silently evaluates everyone's changes as they enter. As for him, he hasn't changed at all. At least not physically.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well I can assure you, you'll be seeing me and Marcus. A lot.
<Kit> 6Lilith smiles back at Drake, then sits and begins crunching on her own.
<Marcus`> More than you'll probably want too. *he nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls forward, to put distance.
* Myria drinks a delicious Omega Coke.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sits down to eat. She doesn't seem to mind it.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "You'll be seein me plenty too, I seem to attract holes."
<SPoC> <Dias> You'll love it. 6He puts emphasis behind his words.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances at the time. "Oh, meeting time. I'll have to, um, take a raincheck, Lilith." 6* He gets up, almost tripping
<Kit> 6Chii turns and tosses a device toward Cheryl's feet, dashing to the left and throwing another to Cheryl's left which would be the way to keep distance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps up to avoid the device.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, then gets up again. Heading out with food in hand.
<Kit> 6The first unfurls into caltrops, the second is a flashbang. Chii throws a shuriken for Cheryl airborne.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce laughs.
<DeathStar> <Duce> Well, I look forward to it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl catches the shuriken, landing. "Well, time's up."
<SPoC> <Dias> I like being nude. 6He stares, a serious look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce stares back.
<Kit> <Lilith> You must go?" 6Her expression stills back into the cold manner.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm part of the team.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake gets nervous now
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh you're good. 6He pats Marcus on the back. 1"I like this guy."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake grabs the plate like Raquel. "H-How's this?"
* Marcus` nods. "Personality is a nice touch. Most doctors are cold."
<DeathStar> <Duce> As long as you don't ask for anal exams, we'll be fine.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Cheryl those were caltrops ....
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She looks down.
* Marcus` laughs. "Well damn Dias. You're outta luck, man."
<Kit> 6Chii facepalms.
<SPoC> <Dias> I try to keep as much away from there as possib-6 He slowly looks over at Marcus
* Ariel quietly heads for the conference room, having seen enough of the base.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Okay.
<Jennifer`> * Darce rubs his head, grunting a little. "You got anything for headaches Duce?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl heads for the conference room
<Kit> 6Chii follows Cheryl, wincing.
* Marcus` just gives Dias a thumbs up
<Kit> 6Lilith nods, leaving her own behind to follow to the meeting.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eats the food as he walks, giving Lilith smiles. Perhaps out of fear of making her mad.
<Kit> <Lilith> I will take that, Sir Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren mutes the HoloVid.
<DeathStar> <Drake> It's okay.
<Kit> 6Lilith pulls a lid out of her apron. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake blinks.
<DeathStar> <Drake> How did you---?
<SPoC> <Dias> Well we better get a seat. 6He moves over and plops down. He adjusts his bandana some, moving it to cover up the black scar.
<Kit> 6Lilith motions for the plate.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hands it over.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks in and takes a seat.
* Marcus` had already sat down, hie drums in hand on his chair handles.
<Kit> 6Lilith caps the plat, then holds it to herself like a tray, nodding.
<Marcus`> NRP: He drums his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks pretty much the same, though her hair is longer and more wild. She doesn't look like she's had time for a good haircut.
* SPoC stares ahead now.
<Kit> 6Chii trails in after Cheryl, gazing around the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps in, taking a seat. He can be seen wearing a device on the left temple.
<Marcus`> Holy shit is that Drake!?
* Ariel quietly sits next to Cheryl.
<SPoC> 6Dias jerks, looking over at Drake. 1"Holy hell. It is Drake."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Ariel, giving her a nod.
<Kit> 6Lilith enters slowly, and stands watch near Raquel and Drake.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "THey managed to make him and the others into something other then comatose husks of flesh it seems."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake drools blankly.
<Kit> 6Chii sits on Cheryl's other side, gazing around her at Ariel. She narrows her eyes.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Well... mostly."
<DeathStar> <Duce> I've been working on fixing his mind.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Well that's...good. Great. Yeah. Awesome." He nods slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stops drooling after a moment. "Gotcha."
<SPoC> <Dias> Think you can fix Marcus? 6He looks at the doc
<Kit> 6Lilith glares toward Marcus.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I could help with that Doc."
* Marcus` pauses and starts laughing.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clears his throat.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Been a while since I went on a good romp in someone's head."
* Marcus` coughs and stops laughing, glancing at Warren.
* SPoC turns her head, focusing on Warren now.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks over at Warren.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods over at Cheryl and then looks ahead.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron sits up strait, it seems he has been bored these past two months.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to speak. "So far there's been little work for us to do. The Dark Ones have been keeping a low profile since our last fight with them. Which means they're probably planning some things. Since we don't have any real objectives to hit, here's a list of what supplies we have. If you think we need anything else, you should probably send me a memo and why it's needed."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slides folders out to everyone.
<Jennifer`> * Darce floats a folder over into his hand and starts browsing.
* Marcus` takes up his folder, looking through it.
* Ariel takes a folder, flipping through it
<SPoC> 6Dias leans forward and opens the folder. He turns it upside down and starts going through it
<DeathStar> <Warren> I've gotten us 10 Gears. Those who want training with them, should probably work on the VR sims located in the VR Room.
* SPoC opens the folder and looks down at it
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitantly takes a file and looks at it... this wasn't her forte.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Warren has invested in nearly everytime of weapon imaginable, including some Erusian weaponary.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I will also offer up myself to teach anyone that would like to learn in a more personal environment. *he chimes in about the gears*
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I like the sound of that, I will."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sounds kinky, Theron.
<Myria> I have Madara as well.
<Kit> 6Chii nudges Cheryl. 1"Would that help us any if I did?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I wonder if I should learn..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Doubtful.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron smiles at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Drake> My doctor said I shouldn't operate heavy machinary. Ever.
<Kit> 6Lilith hangs her head uselessly.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks at Duce.
<SPoC> <Dias> Is flying a gear like flying a fighter?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<SPoC> <Dias> Damn. Guess I better learn then.
* SPoC has left #taw
* SPoC has joined #taw
<Jennifer`> Darce> "It's a tad more complicated. Any chance of customizing some of these to fit our strengths?"
<Marcus`> Sweet. Hopefully I'll be good at this. Flying a shuttle is notmy bag.
<SPoC> <Dias> Neither is a lot of stuff.
<Ariel> Raquel> *daydreams about a rippling gear*
<DeathStar> <Warren> The first ten people who sign up for the Gears can customize them, provided they run it by me first.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Where do I sign?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pops up with a soul contract. "Right here."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares
<SPoC> <Dias> Billy!
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I was askin Warren, little Dove."
<Marcus`> Bill! *he smiles*
<DeathStar> <Billy> Whoops. Gotta go before mommy #1 realizes I ditched home school
<DeathStar> 6* Billy ducks away.
<Myria> Hmmm...I detected no teleports.. *eyes her datapad*
<Kit> 6Chii smiles at Cheryl slightly. 1"This sounds kind of familiar. Can I customize you?"
<Jennifer`> Darce> "KId's good."
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren frowns. "How does she do that?"
<SPoC> 6Dias shrugs. 1"I don't ask.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii. "I am not a doll."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...ninjaing." *drags Billy back home*
<Kit> <Chii> I was joking. J o k i n g.
<Marcus`> I think she's just been hiding under the table this whole time. *he pauses* Like Sets here.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. You still owe me a month's supply of beer. 6* She eyes her bleeding arm.
<Kit> <Chii> You didn't win!
<DeathStar> <Warren> The armory is open to everyone. But don't load yourselves down with weapons each mission. Take only essentials.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii.
* Marcus` slowly looks at Chii too.
<Kit> 6Chii grins slightly. 1"But if you want to take the spoils, then consort to mine as well and I won't complain."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, considering
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Any chance I can acquire a small supply of raw metal and gunpowder?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> For what purpose?
* Ariel nods idly... not expecting to take any. But who knows... she might need a big gun some time.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "My Darts, they're the basic components."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Ariel. "Also, I'd like to have some experts take a look at the Rune Blade. See if we can remove the runes from the blade, or reforge it."
* Marcus` just smiles as he looks over the items on the list, it seems he likes the idea of using new things.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Warren even included grappling hooks. Probably for elevators.
* Ariel nods again. "I... would appreciate it, if it can be repaired."
<Kit> 6Chii leans on the table, eyeing Cheryl mischievously.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Just leave it on my desk, and I'll do the rest.
* Myria rocks back and forth in her seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl refuses to look at anything but the table.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I prefer the Darts over guns... easier to stop a stray Dart over a bullet." *he looks over the list still, nodding a bit to himself*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll give you the materials, then, Darce.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Thanks sir."
<SPoC> I do not see anything else that I would require Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Sometimes, if I feel it prudent, we might take on other missions besides Dark Ones. If we don't, we'll probably be stuck here for weeks at a time with nothing to do. At least until we learn where the Dark Ones have moved.
<SPoC> 6Dias leans back in his chair.
<Marcus`> It seems like we've really done pretty much everything. I'm sure we can handle it.
<Myria> And my new research continues.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The current war with the Tsivrixsh Empire has all our resources spread thin and nearing the breaking point. We're not technically meant to fight those sort of battles, but it might be good practice to do espionage missions now and again against them."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ponders, and looks to Lilith, "...can you think of anything we'd need?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Any objections? 6* He glances at MYria and Theron.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "They're fun to fool."
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm known for my espionage skills.
<SPoC> NRP: not
<Marcus`> <Theron> I do not like the Tsiv. You will understand if I look forward to it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you two rather not engage against the Empire, I understand. It could lead to war.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "While VERTEX is neutral, I miss kicking a little Tsiv arse."
<Kit> 6Lilith stares blankly. Then shakes her head. 1"I do not understand many of this age's equipment. ...A gear is... the large dolls, correct?"
<Myria> Ummm...well...we're in a tight spot as far as that bit of things go.
<DeathStar> 6* The HoloVid shows more scenes. There appears to be a few aliens in the crowd today, including several Ridiariums. Warren squints, clearly his 6th sense tingling.
<SPoC> When are Ridariums allowed on Earth? 6She looks at Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Drake shrugs. "I'm good with my sword. Though tactical suits are nice."
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks up at the holovid. "What're those Rockheads doin there?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> They were never disallowed. I just haven't seen a Ridiarium on Earth - ever.
* Marcus` glances up. "...hey I kinda looked liked those things when I used my rock armor."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...is that... suspicious?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Rock armor?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Very.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Because a Ridarium on Earth is like a Human in the center of the Tsiv captial."
<Marcus`> Earth Rune. I got this Rock Armor, it was sweet.
<SPoC> <Dias> What? It's happeneed before.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "It... what?"
<SPoC> <Dias> It's nice there actually.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a giant rock comes crashing down on the podium where the candidates are doing the speeches. Even with it on mute, you can tell chaos has broken out as people run around, silently screaming. The camera cuts out.
<Jennifer`> * Darce stares at Dias.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps we should go investigate?
<DeathStar> <Drake> Did--did they just attack?
<SPoC> I believe that, that is our cue to move.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Lame, as if that wouldn't be high profile.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tenses, standing.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "...Who do you think they wanted dead?"
<Marcus`> 6* Theron pulls himself to his feet.
<Marcus`> My money is on that Cran guy. *he stands up*
<Kit> <Chii> Usually whoever just said 'peace be with you.'
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This is a bit high profile even for the Ridiariums.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Get to the hanger.
<Kit> <Lilith> ...Shapeshifters?
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps out, heading for the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stands up, then moves for the hanger, running
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands. "God, I hope so."
<Myria> To the hangar! *leaps to her feet and runs!*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves for the hanger.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron steps out, moving along toward the hanger. Marcus not far behind him.
<Kit> 6Chii gets up, stretching. 1"Guess our deal's on hold, Cheryl." 6Dashes off.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rips off her uniform sleeve and patches her own bleeding arm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias. Will you buy me a month supply of rocket fuel?
<DeathStar> 6* Pope looks up as everyone comes running in. "What are you wankers doing? I just mopped the floor."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake slides out and lands on his head.
<SPoC> <Dias> Anything for ya Cheryl.
<Myria> We get to shoot stuff!
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Mission."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives Chii a "I win" look
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sits up, holding his head. "Owowowowowowow."
* SPoC moves out.
<Kit> 6Chii slides to a stop, narrowing her eyes back at Cheryl. 1"Was between us, not between us and Dias. Tch."
<Kit> 6Chii holds up an arm and makes a thumbs down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl swings herself into a shuttle.
<Jennifer`> * Darce lifts Drake up TKly, setting him on his feet. "Graceful kid."
<SPoC> 6Dias moves in after Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets into the shuttle. Pope moves over and gets in, taking the pilot's seat.
<Kit> <Lilith> Lady Raquel, will we attend afternoon classes?
* Ariel heads for the hanger, not slipping on the wet floor. Raquel grabs her blade and heads to the shuttle.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...it doesn't look like it."
* Marcus` moves up the ramp. Theron waits at the base of the ramp for Myria before getting on himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope powers up the shuttle. Cheryl briefly wonders if he should be flying, given his mental status.
<Kit> 6Chii ice skates across the mopped floor, eventually sliding up the ramp.
* Myria bounds into the shuttle.
* SPoC moves and onto the shuttle, having a sniper rifle on her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope jerks the controls, bringing the shuttle up. "So, mates, where to?" 6* Warren gives him the location.
<Kit> 6Lilith floats after Raquel, sighing.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ripples herself and Lilith into the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets a distant look. She doesn't seem to be..."there".
<Jennifer`> * Darce sits down in the shuttle and closes his eyes.
<SPoC> <Dias> Sweet, even Pope's not brain dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope flies them out of the hanger and into the sky, doing a loop and heading for Tokyo.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his datapad, then suddenly grits his teeth. "It seems Ridiariums are attacking outposts all over the galaxy. With Tsivrixsh forces."
<SPoC> So it would appear that they have chosen a side than.
<Marcus`> <Theron> This was an inevitable outcome.
<SPoC> Yes it was. 6She nods to Theron
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts* A joint alliance. This is bad.
<SPoC> <Dias> I guess it would appear the new PAX has failed.
<SPoC> <Dias> Not that Earth helped it or anything.
<Myria> They withdrew form PAX along with the Tsivirxsh.
<Kit> <Chii> Heheheh.
<Jennifer`> * Darce grunts, "It failed a while ago."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* They fly over the city. Below, 5 Ridiariums are tearing through the crowd. It seems a candidate, not Cran's, is dead.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "There's only a few races left in PAX, most have either gone to war or fled, and Earth and the Tsiv managed to start the crumble."
<Marcus`> Gotta love the idea of peace. *he glances out a side window* Jesus Christ. 5 of them.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes seem to glimmer at the thought of fighting 5 of them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This is bad.
<Kit> <Chii> They're tough, right? Fun, fun, heehehehe... So long since the last fun...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's hand clenches the arm rest, her gaze still gone.
<SPoC> There is a lot of them to deal with.
<Myria> I've never fought a Ridarium before...
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridiarium rips a human in to with one punch
<SPoC> It is not fun.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I have. This will be difficult.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens the ramp doors. "This shuttle won't do much damage to them. It's been keyed to do hurt Dark Ones."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Roight. Keep the shuttle out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope brings it down half a block away.
<Marcus`> Perhaps we should have brought some of our gears?
<Ariel> "......"
<SPoC> <Dias> Than we hurt them another way. 6He moves to the back and lowers the ramp.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You all need time to train on them first.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets off the shuttle.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't really know how to use a proper one, yet. I don't think what I've done counts...
<Kit> 6Chii trots out after Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands, her face void of emotion. She dashes off, leaping out and running down the street for the battle.
<Marcus`> Yeah good point. *he sighs and steps off*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... not good. 6* He says, watching Cheryl rush off.
* SPoC stands up and moves down after Warren. She shifts the sniper rifle into her hands and cocks back the hammer.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...do... swords work on them?"
<Kit> <Chii> Oy! Wait up!" 6Dashes after Cheryl.
<Jennifer`> * Darce moves after Warren, pulling out some darts.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'll keep tabs on her. 6He dashes after Cheryl, moving alongside Chii
* Myria steps off the shuttle, pressing a button on her datapad and her clothes morph into body armor.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I could have brought a gear in, though. *he pauses and watches Cheryl run off* She was involved in the Ridarium conflict, wasn't she?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yeah. ... she lost her soul nearly in that war.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Ariel.
<SPoC> We should move quickly Warren. 6She starts moving down the street.
* Ariel forms her armour and blade, and moves after Cheryl.
<Marcus`> <Theron> It would be prudent if we could avoid that. *he says, pulling up his rifle, and begins to move quickly towards the battle*
<Myria> Hmmm...Theron?
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances at Myria. "Yes?"
<Kit> 6Chii trails behind Cheryl, shifting the shotgun over her shoulder, she notches it to focused and begins charging it.
* Marcus` had dashed off with Dias, for the record.
<DeathStar> 6* As those who rush reach the area, they would find several dead humans. Alexander Cran seems to be avoiding rocks that are thrown at him.
<DeathStar> 6* One Ridiarium brings his foot down, smashing a human skull in completely.
<Marcus`> Now that was just disgusting.
<SPoC> 6Dias reaches behind his back and pulls out some gloves. He quickly slides them on. 1"Definetly not cool."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Most weapons will not work on them.
<Myria> What is Ridarium anatomy like?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel heads in cautiously, not sure how to fight rocks.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Rock.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Rock."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Quite simply. *he nods with Warren and Darce*
<Myria> Hmmm...ok.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes at one Ridiarium. It turns to face her. It has no eyes, just black objects. Perhaps holes, perhaps b lack rock
<Kit> 6Lilith follows Raquel, forming her inukami and dragging it along behind her.
* SPoC stops and raises her sniper rifle, she begins to aim down the street.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "If you have mining equipment, now would be the time to pull it out."
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridiarium lifts up a car and throws it at out at Lilith
<Jennifer`> * Darce holds out his hand and tries to TKly stop the car.
<SPoC> 6Dias runs up the hood of a car and down the other end.
* Myria taps on her datapad and starts tinkering with a weapon of some sort.
<Kit> 6Lilith blinks and holds her free hand forward, concentrating on stopping it as well-- then working on throwing it back at the antagonist. 1"...Rude."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple to stab that Ridarium in the back with her ripple blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps at a Ridiarium. It punches her head on, sending her flying back. She lands, dashes again, and uses brute strength to punch into it, over and over. Her knuckles begin to bleed.
* Ariel throws a crystal blade charged with holy energy at Cheryl's Ridiarium like a javelin.
* SPoC locks onto a Ridarium and fires a charged shot for a black hole on it's face
* Marcus` spins out his ripple blades, it seems he got the other repaired, though his effectiveness is still up in the air.
<Jennifer`> * Darce lets a dart fly at a Ridarium, aiming it for an eye or mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* The blade does no apparant damage to the Ridiarium, though it's clearly confused where the attack came from. Ariel's move actually does something, knocking it back. Cheryl activates her whip and begins to pound into it's face, roaring like an animal.
<DeathStar> 6* The other Ridiariums hold up hands, blocking the attacks for their eyes.
<Kit> 6Chii pauses at a short distance, shivering slightly at Cheryl.
* Myria hums as she continues to tinker.
<SPoC> 6Dias runs along the ground and leaps foward, shoulder ramming into one of the ridariums blocking it's face
<Jennifer`> *Darce lets the dart explode in the Ridarium's hands.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium grabs Cheryl from either side, lifting her up, crushing inward.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium swings it's hand, launching a high speed rock for Darce's eye
<Ariel> 6* Raquel skips back, that was useless. <...Lilith. Cover me.> 6She gets out of the line of fire and puts on her bracelet.
* Marcus` shifts in, spinning one blade out for a leg, attempting to let his speed keep his advantage.
<Kit> 6Chii takes aim to the left one's head area and lets the charged, focused shotgun blast loose.
<Jennifer`> * Darce pushes the rock TKly against it's velocity and dodges to one side.
<Kit> 6Lilith nods and moves aside to protect Raquel's physical body, kneeling and aiming with the rail blade instead.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus' attacks. The Ridiarium turns, then smashes down at his back, to drive him into theground.
* Ariel charges forward, firing a plasma blast at Ridiarium attacking Cheryl.
* SPoC pulls her hammer back and she reaims, firing anothe charged shot for the ridarium launching a rock at Darce's face
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's attack does little on it's own. As does Ariel's blast.
* Marcus` rolls to the right and pulls the ripple blade upward.
<Jennifer`> * Darce let's three darts fly for his enemy, one for the eye, one for the mouth, and one for a leg joint.
<SPoC> 6Dias rams into a ridarium
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her whip, smashing it down at it's face again, then howls in pain
<Ariel> 6* Raquel enters her ghost form and quickly moves forward to try to drain the life energy from the Ridiarium.
<Myria> ...hmmm...Theron...how is the battle going? *without looking up*
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium turns it's back to Darce's attacks. All ineffective.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias rams a Ridiarium. It stumbles, then grabs him
<Kit> <Chii> Ch-Cheryl! Get a grip! They're... definitely tougher than I gave credit.
* Ariel reforms her crystal blade, slashing at the Ridiarium.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron's eyes widen. "Not well." He leans down and dashes in toward's Cheryl's ridarium.
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel -- succeeds. The Ridiairum stumbles.
<Jennifer`> * Darce lets them all explode into his back and sighs a bit, reaching for the Ridarium's mind and tryingf to crush the pea brain from within.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oi. 6He swings his leg's forward, trying to kick the ridarium in the face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her whip and smashes at Ariel's slash. Together, they gourge a hole in it.
<DeathStar> 6* It lets Cheryl go. Snearing, Cheryl takes her whip and slams it into it's inside.
* Ariel jabs the blade into the hole and releases a charge of energy.
<DeathStar> 6* Darce doesn't seem to be succeeding. It throws five rocks at him at high speeds.
<Kit> 6Chii fires on the left one, same spot with another focused but without time charging.
<Myria> Ok...and connect this...there, its done!
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel and Cheryl leave the Ridiarium a molten pile of rock
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps back, breathing heavily.
<Jennifer`> * Darce lets out a wave of TK to slow the rocks and rolls low to one side to avoid.
* SPoC frowns and quickly moves over to a car, using it to brace herself. She pulls the hammer back again and aims at the Ridarium going after Darce and fires another charged shot for it's face.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel continues draining energy slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel finally takes down her Ridiarium, since it can't find her
<Marcus`> 6* Theron redirects himself, seeing Cheryl and Ariel taking care of it. He moves in towards Darce's Ridarium, he jumps and comes down, stabbing his katana downward for the base of the ridarium's neck.
<Myria> Hmmm...which to shoot first...?
<Marcus`> NRP: Backside of the ridarium.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "This one's bright for a ROckhead."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is shot and stabbed. It grabs Theron suddenly, and begins to crush his neck
<SPoC> <Dias> Let. Me. Go! 6He continues kicking into it's face.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium finally lets Dias go, it's face busted in
<Kit> 6Chii twitches incessantly. 1"..This is a fucking shotgu... It still... won't scratch hard?"
<Jennifer`> * Darce focuses his attempts on the Ridarium's crushing hand, trying to force it open.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes at Dias' Ridiarium, roaring like a beast.
* SPoC quickly jerks the hammer back and fires an other charged shot, for the same ridarium. Again at it's head
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Get... off him."
<DeathStar> 6* It's forced to let Theron go --- into it's rock knee.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron's eyes widen and he attempts to get his katana up to stab the Ridarium's eye.
<SPoC> 6Dias hits the ground, grabbing his side in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slides, tossing a grenade to SPoC.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron makes a sound of pain.
<Myria> Let Theron go! *aims and fires her molecular disruptor at the Ridarium's back*
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Right... wanna throw rocks..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl swings her whip fist into the Ridarium's face, since Dias' damaged. She begins to wail on it, until it knocks her away - into a building wall and through it
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium stumbles in pain from MYria
* SPoC let's go of the sniper rifle and catches the grenade.
<DeathStar> <Warren> In it's mouth
* Marcus` continues to cut away at his Ridarium, mostly by rolling and swiping at exposed spots.
* Ariel moves in to take Cheryl's place, aiming her sword for the Ridirium's stump of a neck.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium lets Marcus waste his energy, using timed swings to try to hurt him.
<SPoC> <Dias> CHERYL! 6He growls and turns to the Ridarium. 1"You piece of shit."
<Jennifer`> * Darce focuses on his Ridarium, attempting to toss it into another.
<Myria> Eat my genius! *fires another shot*
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's sword cuts his neck, but not enough to remove it. He suddenly uppercuts ariel into the air.
* Marcus` jumps back, breathing heavy. "How the fuck can a ripple blade not hurt these things.
* SPoC nods and moves in swiftly for the same ridarium
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tosses Marcus a grenade.
* Marcus` catches it, and glances at Warren.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...I need to learn to do this faster.>
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls himself up and suddenly moves to jam something into the mouth of the Ridarium that beat him down.
<Kit> Lilith <Once can only expect their best.>
<SPoC> 6Dias leaps up at the Ridarium and swings his fist for the opening in it's neck.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps out of the building, landing on the Ridiarum. She strains to rip it's head off, since Ariel cut it. sadly, she's not strong enough
<DeathStar> 6* However, Dias' punch works, and Cheryl rips it on off.
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts and lands on it's chest when it falls over.
<DeathStar> 6* The two remaining Ridiariums begin to edge away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is landed on, sadly, by the Ridiarium
* SPoC moves in close to one of the remaining ridariums
<Jennifer`> * Darce tosses one of the RIdarium's rocks at one of them.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium catches it, absorbing it
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel comes crashing back down
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Bloody hell."
<Marcus`> 6* Theron would stumbles back, waiting for the trick to work, he placed an explosive in it's mouth.
<SPoC> 6Dias leaps off and grabs the ridarium, trying his best to roll it off her.
* Ariel lands loudly on her feet.
<Myria> Science journal... the molecular disruptor can wound a Ridarium... future improvements must be considered to make it fully lethal, however.
<Kit> 6Chii gets annoyed at not harming her's much, twisting sideways and holding up a hand. 1"Suiton, Hyoton rengeki da..." 6She douses it across the side with water, then freezes it. She turns again and aims the shotgun and fires, wobbling slightly for some reason.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii suddenly falls over, poisoned to extreme levels.
* SPoC shifts to the side and pulls the pin off the grenade and tosses it at the frozen ridarium. She quickly rolls to the side
<DeathStar> 6* So far, the explosive either hasn't gone off, or something, since the GM can't find the action
<Jennifer`> * Darce slowly floats a dart over the two remaining, waiting for a chance to shove it down one of thier throats.
* Marcus` holds the grenade in his hand and then dashes in towards one of the remaining Ridarium.
<DeathStar> 6* The frozen Ridiarium sighs sadly, unable to avoid the grenade. IT explodes
<DeathStar> 6* The last Ridiarium --- runs!
<SPoC> <Dias> ARIEL GIVE ME A HAND! 6He shifts around and grabs onto the ridarium, trying to lift it off Cheryl
<Jennifer`> * Darce rockets the dart forward adn around, trying to shove it down it's throat.
<Kit> 6Chii mutters curses at the ground.
* Marcus` slides to a stop, dust kicking up around him, he tilts his head. "I could catch it if I went wolf form." He tells Warren.
<Myria> Oops! *fires her disruptor at the Ridarium's legs*
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's life begins to slip away, oh so slowly...
<Marcus`> *Theron slides over to Dias and attempts to help him.
<DeathStar> 6* The last Ridarium's leg is hit, then it falls over from some hidden explosive.
* Ariel powers her blade and charges in... she was going to try to bodycheck it off Cheryl, but instead she leaps and uses gravity to help drive the blade into it's face.
* SPoC stands up, dusting herself off.
<SPoC> 6Dias freaks out and kicks the blade way off track
<Myria> Ummm....is something wrong with her? *points at Chii*
<DeathStar> 6* The dead Ridiarium's body is knocked away. Cheryl rises, breathing heavily, scanning the area for more targets.
* Marcus` glances at Chii and tosses the grenade back to Warren, moving over to check on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Chii, then taps his comm. "Duce. Get out here."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran moves out of hiding, dusting himself off. "Well done."
<Jennifer`> * Darce scans about for more hostiles.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel returns to her body.
<DeathStar> 6* She pauses, calming down, then pauses. "Chii." 6* She says in alarm, moving over to find her.
<Marcus`> Good job on the hiding there. *He glances up from Chii. Giving Cran a thumbs up*
<Kit> 6Chii's body twitches.
<DeathStar> <Alexander Cran> I leave the fighting to the experts.
<Kit> <Lilith> Good job, Lady Raquel.
<Myria> How did I do, Theron? *rocks on her heels*
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Hmph."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts. He wonders if he'll have to tell Freyja her shadow got whacked off.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands upright and nods once. "You saved my life. Very good job."
* SPoC moves over to Warren.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles a little.
<Myria> I must now make my new disruptor more portable!
<SPoC> 6Dias glances at Cheryl and quickly moves after her, his hand holding his side
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels there, grabbing Chii's hand. "Focus on me, Chii. Stay with me." 6* She seems --- panicked?
<DeathStar> 6* She doesn't even seem to notice her broken and bruised ribs.
* Marcus` kneels there, watching Cheryl and Chii.
* Ariel moves over and kneels by Chii's side. She tries using some holy energy to see if it'll help stablize her.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once to Myria, hiding any signs of pain, he looks to Chii and Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii mumbles to the ground in a whimsical, perhaps drunk, perhaps delusional manner. 1"Haa... got 'em ...didn't someone? Aaha... Little shit..."
<SPoC> <Dias> What the hell's going on with her?
<Jennifer`> * Darce walks over and looks down at Chii, leaning down. "That infection is getting worse."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii's hand. Warren waits for Chii to do the dying speech thing
<SPoC> <Dias> It's gotten that bad?! 6He looks confused.
<Marcus`> She must use her abilities alot then. *he notes with a frown*
<Kit> 6Chii shifts and smiles at Cheryl. 1"...Dias, heheheh."
<SPoC> <Dias> Woh woh. She better not be dieing.
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle lands and Duce walks out with a medical kit. "Step back. Give me room."
<SPoC> 6Dias steps to the side
<Jennifer`> * Darce moves back a little, running fingers down the black stripes on the side of his face.
<Kit> 6Chii makes a sulky expression. 1"Rather cheat to Dias... than make the terms... hrmph, heheh.." 6Falls face first again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs. "God. Fine. If it'l lhelp you live." 6* She pecks Chii's cheek.
* Xanatos has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
* Ariel steps back, letting the doctor get in there.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce moves over, grabbing needles and shots of vials. He draws up some medicine, then gives Chii a shot. He keeps his hand on her forehead afterward.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There. I gave you a sisterly kiss.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches.
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Almost immediately, Chii's infection level goes back to normal
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander stares. "Fascinating."
<Kit> 6Chii shifts and sits up. 1"Hey, what's in that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Duce puts up his supplies. "Oh, just some stuff. The typical."
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<Kit> <Chii> Haa, bullshit.
<SPoC> 6Dias stares in awe at Cheryl. 1"You're kiss can heal." 6He quickly pulls his shirt up to show a bruised rib. 1"Kiss and make it better."
<Marcus`> It's probably just strait up drugs.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms, then eyes Dias oddly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce looks at the dead or dying, then moves over to see what he can do
<SPoC> <Dias> What? It worked for Chii.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now, you owe me a month's supply of alcohol. 6* She eyes the dead Ridiarium corpses, and the humor fades from her voice and face.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "You want any Atlean nanites to add to that collection Doc, just ask."
<Ariel> "...let's return to base, if we're done here."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, looking about. He seems to be looking for clues.
<SPoC> 6Dias sighs and pulls his shirt down. 1"Does that mean I don't have to buy you a months supply?
<Kit> <Chii> Hey, if it means sister greetings, sure." 6She makes an OK sign to Cheryl. 1"Rocket fuel, eh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances down at a comm message. He clicks on and Darien's voice comes over
<DeathStar> <Darien> We got a situation, Warren. Legion is attacking the high school. 6* His voice comes out loud and clear to everyone
<Kit> <Chii> ...Legion?" 6Face pales again.
<SPoC> 6Dias' head jerks over to Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's face goes grim. "Understood."
<SPoC> 6Dias' fists tighten, his knuckles cracking
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Ye gods..."
* Marcus` stands up strait, his face hardening.
<Kit> 6Lilith serves tea to Raquel and Drake on the shuttle.
<Marcus`> *Theron croses his arms with an odd face.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Those poor kids..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Alexander. "Head to my base for a debrief."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, her mood going even darker. For Chii, she probably feels like a black void
<Myria> Theron...what is it?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves into the shuttle.
<SPoC> 6Dias runs to the shuttle quickly
<Marcus`> <Theron> A school. It's horrible. *he says flatly, stepping onto the shuttle*
<Kit> 6Chii holds her head and follows back into the shuttle, eyeing the tea proceedings.
* Marcus` gets onto the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is still on the shuttle wiht Pope. His sword wouldn't do damage to a Ridiarium
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets in.
* Myria boards the shuttle...
* Ariel heads for the shuttle.
* SPoC steps into the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Drake> Great. So, first, we get a Ridiarium/Tsivrixsh all out attack, and now Legion is attacking higher schoolers?
<DeathStar> <Drake> What else could go wrong?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...please don't tempt fate."
<Kit> 6Lilith wags a finger at Drake.
<SPoC> I believe they are high schoolers Drake. 6She sits down.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope lifts the shuttle up. Cheryl sits down, putting a hand to her rib and pushing it slightly to stop it from poking
<DeathStar> 6* Pope begins to bring them in the direction of the high school.
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps on the shuttle. "Aren't some of you kids supposed to be in school right now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren wonders how Darce puleld that off.
<Jennifer`> * Darce jumped.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope flies along the city, leaving the chaos behind.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...we're skipping class. It's just review today anyways."
<Marcus`> Wow. Way to be bad students. I never skipped class.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the shuttle stops moving, caught in ... a web of tendrils?
<DeathStar> 6* Pope stares. "Bloody 'ell, what is THAT?"
<Kit> <Lilith> We were excused for family-related issues.
<Myria> Ummmm...?
<SPoC> <Dias> What the hell is this? 6He llooks around
<Kit> <Chii> Um, I feel something I don't like much.
<DeathStar> 6* Dozens upon dozens of darklings begin to crawl down the tendrils toward the shuttle
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I guess we found Dark Ones?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet, sneering
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pulls out his sword. "We got incoming company."
<SPoC> <Dias> Cheryl let's have some fun. 6He moves over and hits the lower ramp button.
* Marcus` stands and pulls out his blades. "Good god this is getting interesting."
* Ariel forms her sword.
<Marcus`> *Theron has his rifle ready to fire.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...will those shuttle weapons work now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darklings leap into the shuttle as the ramp lowers. They are thankful, and demonstrate it by stabbing at Chii with tendrils.
<DeathStar> <Pope> The bloody thing isn't aimed at anything
<Kit> 6Chii jerks out of the way and returns favor with two guns on burst-fire mode.
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts and punches one right in the face as it leaps in
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings are hit, stumbling around like spiders
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips out, knocking a darkling away - in two halves.
* Ariel releases a blast of holy energy at the tendril.
<Kit> <Chii> Cheap little bastards. Take that, and that, and that.
<Jennifer`> * Darce swipes at one with his claw bracer.
<Myria> ...darn it! My new weapon isn't ready yet!
* SPoC cocks her hammer back and she aims outside, firing a shot into one
<DeathStar> 6* More Darklings leap in, forming a wall of darklings.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel holds her blade defensively.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires into the wall. They launch tendrils out at them.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron remains back, perhaps still recovering. He opens fire into the darklings, making sure not to hit anyone.
<Kit> 6Chii reaches back and then tosses an orb at the wall. 1"Fire in the hole." 6Aims a pistol.
<Jennifer`> * Darce weaves and pushes at a bunch of them TKly to kick them out.
<SPoC> 6Dias slides back and twists his body, trying to remain between as many tendrils as possible, still getting cut .
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... What the hell---
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings remain unaffected by TK
* SPoC spins her sniper rifle and turns it sideways, using it block the incoming tendrils.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Bloody hate these things."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Darce's mind is overloaded by Dark One power. Since they know he has the power.
<Myria> Don't use psi powers!
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts to avoid. Marcus also moves and cuts out.
<Jennifer`> * Darce cries out and fals to his knees, holding his head, reaching for the device over his eye.
* Ariel charges her blade, and slashes at the wall of darklings
<DeathStar> 6* Black goo spills out from the slash.
<Kit> 6Chii shoots the bomb. Lilith throws a hand forward, creating a gravity well in center of the explosion.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren waits for htem to all die from the bomb, since it's tight quarters.
<DeathStar> 6* He pauses as Lilith does that.
* Ariel dives away before she gets blasted
<SPoC> 6Dias is hit since he was close to the wall of dark ones
<Jennifer`> * Darce taps the device and falls over, groaning. "Freaking reflexes..."
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings are violently raped by Chii and Lilith
<SPoC> 6Dias goes flying backwards into the front of the shuttle, slamming into Pope's chair
* Marcus` coughs, glad he didn't rush in.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus suddenly appears after the attack. He fires a blast straight at Ariel, knocking her into the shuttle controls and shocking her with high voltages from both his attack, and the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ARIEL!
* Ariel fries nicely.
<DeathStar> 6* She roars in anger and tackles Asmodeus, sending them both out of the shuttle.
<Kit> <Chii> What the fu-- oh, you.
<SPoC> 6Dias groans in pain as he coughs.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares, leaning over the ramp as they fall --- fall --- fal.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Is she sucidial?
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl!" 6She slides forward and looks down.
<Myria> ...ummm...what do we do...?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smashes on top of Asmodeus into the pavement.
<Jennifer`> * Darce just groans, mind blown for a while.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Myria. Work on getting our shuttle free.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves to the edge of the ramp.
<SPoC> No, she is a beserker. 6She moves to the ramp and leans out, hooking her leg on a ramp rung. She aims her sniper rifle down at Asmodeus, waiting for cheryl to move
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls off after a moment.
<Myria> How?
<Kit> 6Chii paces anxiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Or is thrown off. Hard to tell
<DeathStar> <Warren> A genius should figure it out
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims and fires.
* SPoC fires a charged shots directly down on Asmodeus
* Marcus` glances over the edge and glances around, he grabs a rope and secures it to the ramp. He throws it over and begins to slide down it.
<SPoC> Nrp: -s
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus rises, then gets nailed by the shots.
<Marcus`> *Theron leans over the ramp, firing with the others.
<Myria> You're right! *starts tinkering*
* SPoC quickly slams the hammer back and fires another charged shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus shifts so he's under Marcus. Fire now, bitrches.
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly rises.
* Marcus` lets go and freefalls towards Asmo, shifting his body into that of the wolf.
<Ariel> Raquel> *ripple stabs at Asmodeus from behind*
<Kit> 6Chii throws a shuriken down at an angle, then pulls out a gun and fires at it to knock it below Marcus' obstructing form.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus holds up his hands and forms a dark matter ball - no way Marcus can avoid it. Dumb wolf fuck.
<SPoC> Marcus is in my shot. 6She notes to Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* He's suddenly stabbed from behind, blinking.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yeah. Typical.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches Marcus free fall to his wolfly doom
<SPoC> Permission to shoot through him.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus keeps his attack going, despite the damage from the stabs. Seems it's not enough to make him give up
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ...'s and aims the blade for his crotch.
* Marcus` pulls his arms out and it glows, he jerks his arms forward to collide into the DM ball and releases his own beam.
<Kit> <Chii> Well. I could fry him, but at the expense of falling over again...
<Myria> ...not enough intensity to...but if I can inject it directly in...then the intensity can be bumped up with reduced risk to us!
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus' groin is damaged, and Marcus' attack dispells the dark matter ball. Asmodeus is hit by the beam.
<Jennifer`> * Darce sits up, holding his head. "Fucking hate Dark Ones."
<Kit> 6Chii instead laces her boot and secures it to the shuttle then leaps out, twists and grabs the wire between her gloves, shimmying herself down upside-down. 1"Cheeeryl!"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stops trying and curls up, shivering. "...t...that thing is inhuman..."
* Marcus` hopefully uses Asmo as a cushion, he would hope back as soon as possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus stumbles in pain. He grabs Cheryl by her long hair, yanking her up, placing his hand against her back
<SPoC> Now Chii is in my shot. 6She sounds sad.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> DIE.
<Myria> Mr. Darce?
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus throws Cheryl into Marcus, letting him cushion on ehr
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Yes Dove?"
* SPoC jerks her aim up and fires a charged shot at the exposed Asmodeus now, aiming for his chest
* Marcus` widens his eyes and shifts, attempting to get where he would take the brunt of it from Asmo.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus is knockedb ack, vanishing into an alley shadow.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron sweeps his rifle, searching for Amsodeus.
<Myria> Can your darts penetrate the Dark One Tendrils?
<SPoC> Warren. Do you see him? 6She shifts around, aiming
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks around with his guns. "Negative."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "LOng as they aren't attacking me. THey're plain metal."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Nor do I.
<Myria> I need you to do something for me then.
* Marcus` pulls himself up, his body shifting back to normal, he looks about for Asmo, the kneels over and checks on Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lowers his gun, when he hears a hum. It seems the tendril web is about to ... explode.
* Kit hangs upside-down. 1"Cheryl, Marcus, are you... okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up, wiping blood from her face. "Fuck."
<Kit> NRP: kljashfkljhsd
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Name the targets, fast."
<SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head and grabs a seat. 1"What's the noise?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> I think the tendrils are...going to ... do something
* Jennifer` hits a button on the device on his face and pulls out the full package of darts.
<Jennifer`> * Darce
<Marcus`> Sorry about that. Leaping before I look and all that. *he glances up*
<Myria> The ones holding us! Dip the dart tips in this! *holds out a vial*
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils are at 50% critical mass.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh shit. Marcus, do you have any barrier stuff?
<Marcus`> Whoa whoa. I'm not a machine.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils are at 75% critical mass.
<Jennifer`> * Darce dips them and touches Myria's head a moment, then launches multiple darts out of the shuttle and into the tendrils.
<Kit> <Chii> I hate myself then...
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there calmly.
<SPoC> I do not like the sound of this Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up, clenching her fists.
<Kit> 6Chii drops to the ground and touches the ground. 1"Unless you have ideas then I might want to use my abilities again."
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils dissolves into dust.
<DeathStar> 6* the shuttle drops.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope grabs the controls and hovers 1 foot off the ground
<Kit> 6Chii stares at the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in without a word, checking on Ariel.
<Myria> Yay! It worked!
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Nice work Dove." *he pats her head fodnly*
<Marcus`> Yeah I just wouldn't use them. I only do when it means I'll die if I don't. *he steps onto the shuttle*
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes Darce cautiously.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets get to the high school and stop Legion.
<DeathStar> -SCENE/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* And so, our heroes managed to run off Legion at the high school, as seen in Episode 3 of Erevis' Second Season. There, they found what appeared to be a ressurected Xanatos Durran, which they brought back to their base for examination by the Doctor, as seen in Episode 4 of Erevis' Second Season. Afterward, they went to find the base where the Dark Ones had brought Xan back to life, but Asmodeus had already destroyed it.
<DeathStar> 6* After a long day, Warren wrapped up his debriefing, and sent Erevis' group home. He sits in the conference room with his own team, who are in various levels of condition, though all are awake and moving fine thanks to their miracle doctor
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would appear that Legion and Asmodeus are in league together, and have the ability to ressurect people.
<SPoC> <Dias> just means I get to knock some more heads in to get to Legion.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his temples as he sits there.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Why would the Dark Ones help him?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Also, the war with the Tsivrixsh/Ridiarium forces are turning against us. We've lost a lot of territories and space colonies today.
<Marcus`> <Theron> This is most disturbing. It would mean that they could bring back the likes of Xevil.
<Ariel> Raquel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there silently. "If they really did bring him back to life. He could be a really, really good shapeshifter, despite what our doctor's scans told us."
<DeathStar> 6* Duce shrugs. "A possibility."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...that's... how?"
* Marcus` rubs his chin. "And so we're just going to let him go on his way though?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Cheryl's got a point.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Chad and Darien will keep an eye on him.
<SPoC> How is our military going to handle the situation Warren?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "...Wait... I have a question."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...why would the dark ones want to bring him back?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shakes his head. "They're still working up plans."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's true. Xan's not exactly...useful.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Darce.
<SPoC> I see. 6She nods to him
<Ariel> Raquel> "...he's more defective than Marcus."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hm. I felt a disturbance from Erevis when she was near this Durran guy. Perhaps they hope to do something with her?
<SPoC> <Dias> About as useful as two legged dog.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "General Cran died didn't he? Is it possible they were behind this new one's appearance? We've got more tehn that Durran character coming back to life."
* Marcus` tilts his head and eyes Raquel. "You little shit."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alexander is a clone. He doesn't even have the original's memories."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles at Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This Xan appears to have all the memories intact.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "...A clone, ah."
<SPoC> <Dias> And here you'd think the world would look down on clones.
<Kit> 6Lilith eyes Dias at the 'two-legged dog' comment.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes at her, crosses his arms in a hmph motion.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If he's a clone. He could be a shapeshifter, too
<DeathStar> <Drake> You are, um, paranoid, Cheryl.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Ressurection is something that does not happen often. I tend to agree with Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs a hand along her slightly bruised face, which is already healing
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Paranoid is just a harsh word for a good thinker."
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Theron. 1"Often?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Darce, as if seeing him for the first tmie
<Marcus`> <Theron> There have always been rumors of such things exhisting. I personally believe them to be just that. Rumors.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's a situation we'll have to observe carefully. It seems the galaxy has become ... more dangerous again
<DeathStar> <Warren> For now, you're all dismissed.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Xanatos is living proof they aren't rumors. But a shapeshifter or clone does sound more likely based on the facts..."
<DeathStar> 6* Duce Caus rises and moves for the medical bay.
<Marcus`> <Theron> All things become clear in time. *he stands and moves towards the exit*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stands. "Well, after all that, I could use a nice meal and a warm shower."
* Myria stands and heads for her lab.
* Marcus` stands up. "Well I personally never liked the guy, so I guess that means if he is evil, I won't have trouble stomping his face in."
<Jennifer`> * Darce stands up and shrugs his shoulders. "Warren, I'd like to get to work on a Gear, if that's alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his face, then pops a pill.
<SPoC> 6Dias finally stands up and looks over at Warren. 1"You can count me for a gear pilot too."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Let me know when you have the time, I'd like to go over some ideas with you."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out, as does Drake
* Marcus` glances at Warren. "Hey I was wondering. Even when there was a shapeshifter of one of us, someone that knew us on a personal level had no problem determining something was off. Did Xan seem different to you?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<Marcus`> I'll take that as a no. And yes, i'll be looking in on the gear thing. *he turns and steps out*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems to be waiting to speak with Ariel alone, judging by the glances he's casting at her.
* SPoC rises and nods to Warren. She moves out.
* Ariel was going to be in the med bay resting, but she could be in the meeting room.
<SPoC> 6Dias steps out after
<Marcus`> So does that mean if we die, someone can just pop us back to life? *he glances at Dias*
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps out and heads down the hall.
<Kit> 6Lilith drags Raquel out after Drake. Chii stalks Cheryl
<Ariel> 6* Raquel is dragged after Lilith and her boyfriend.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks at Lilith and Raquel. "Hey, you two. Want to go out and get a bite to eat?"
* Myria enters her lab and goes back to work on her latest project.
<SPoC> <Dias> Apparently. I promise you tho, if you die and get revived. I'll kill you again
<Marcus`> You just try and kill me and i'll rip your nuts off, pal.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren cups his hands together. "So, what do you make of Xanatos returning?"
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses to look at Raquel.
<Ariel> "...I'm not certain. This whole situation just feels... wrong."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans back. "I am worried Erevis will resume a relationship with him over Zhenmei."
<SPoC> <Dias> Pscht, you're a push over.
<Marcus`> And you're a wimp.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along, working her jaw. She eyes Chii. "Where's my alcohol?"
* Ariel pauses, "That... does seem a concern. It would be a significant change to the timeline... I'm sure Darien would love to see that skewed, but I cannot believe this change would be for the better."
<DeathStar> <Warren> You should probably talk to her about it at some point. You are her only friend.
<SPoC> <Dias> And you're short.
<Marcus`> I'm taller than you are. Dipshit.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake gives Raquel a smile. He appears to be oblivious he's the boyfriend in this triangle.
* SPoC moves to the lobbby and pulls and sits down, pulling out a notebook. She begins drawing in it
<Ariel> "I will."
* Ariel pauses
<Ariel> "And... what is your take on this situation, while we're on the subject?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, from your view.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Ariel. "I believe it is dangerous. Ressurecting someone is not a good thing for us. Even if Xanatos is innocent, Legion and this Asmodeus have some nefarious plans. Even if it is as simple as keeping Erevis busy and confused to be ineffective.
<Marcus`> Yeah that's right. The taller view. Moron.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron steps into Myria's room with a knock on the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pokes Chii. "Don't ignore me, bitch."
<Kit> <Chii> ...
* Ariel nods. "Things have been set in motion that we won't be able to put back... we're going to have to take advantage of this."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms.
<Kit> 6Chii shakes her head. 1"...Eh. What was it, Cheryl?"
<Myria> ...yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans forward. "My. Alcohol."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel seems slightly nervous around Lilith and Drake at the same time.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses, then rubs the back of his head. "Uh...perhaps another time, then."
<Marcus`> Myria. *he nods his head once, stepping in fully*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts and nods, standing up. He moves out to go to his office.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. Yeah, sorry. Guess I'll go get it then...
<Kit> 6Chii ambles off ahead, concluded spacing out for now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, then just walks off in another direction. Knowing her, she won't be around when Chii returns
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah well...well. You walk like a duck.
<Myria> Yeeeees?
* Ariel heads off to her room to think. How do you gently put it to your best friend, that staying around their ex is a bad idea...
<Kit> 6Lilith shakes her head, gives Raquel a shake, then turns to Drake, smiles and nods.
<Marcus`> Quack quack motherfucker.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake waves. "See you at the next meeting." 6* He walks off into the night.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I was hoping I could ask you a slight question.
<SPoC> <Dias> See if I come home tonight..
<Kit> 6Lilith frowns. 1"Sir Drake."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses, glancing back.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yes?
<Marcus`> Psch. I like living by myself.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh you so miss me.
<Kit> "Food." 6Lilith says simply, the diapproving scowl of a hungry, predatory dog.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nudges Lilith towards Drake.
<Marcus`> In your dreams man. I think i'm going to find a girl and bring her back to...oh wait the place is a heap.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks at Raquel. He apparantly uneasy about making her uneasy
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks past Marcus and Dias and off down a corridor.
<Myria> Ok.
<Kit> 6Lilith blinks once as she's advanced, then turns and eyes Raquel. 1"Lady Raquel, you must stop being weak. It is but a person, and a friendly one."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...being... weak?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nervously watches them both, feeling like he's caught in something he doesn't even know the rules to
<Kit> <Lilith> Among sociable people, you stray. Hrmph.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I was wondering if you would accompany me out. Perhaps to one of the local eateries.
<Myria> Hmmm...ok.
<Ariel> Raquel> "......
<SPoC> <Dias> You. Find a girl? Sober. Ha! 6He slaps his knee
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh...if you're not feeling up to it, it's fine. I mean. I can eat alone. Or whatnot.. 6* He seems to be feeling more and more strained as the two have this long, awkward silence.
* Xanatos has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes at Raquel. 1"I will not allow it to continue. We shall eat, Sir Drake. Lady Raquel will learn to be friendly!"
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Drake> But--
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<Kit> 6Chii returns from a raid, scanning the hallways. 1"...Cheeeryl?"
<Marcus`> 6* Theron bows his head. "Excellent. Seek me out in a few hours time." He turns to leave.
<Kit> 6Lilith turns, huffing. 1"I want to go, Sir Drake. I want Lady Raquel to go."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances at Raquel now.
<Ariel> Raquel> *looks down* "...alright."
* Marcus` snorts. "Dude, i've been getting chicks for the past two months. Good looking ones too."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sighs, feeling bad about Raquel being forced into this. He makes a note not to offer dinner again
<SPoC> <Dias> Can't tell your on a rebound or anything
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, lets go. I think there's a fastfood place nearby. 6* So it'll be short and less painful
<Marcus`> I'm on the rebound?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake moves on.
<SPoC> 6Dias shrugs
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears to have left. That crazy Dragoon.
<Myria> ..ok. *eyes him*
<Kit> 6Chii scowls and scours the hallways.
<Kit> 6Lilith hugs Raquel, then follows Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl trains by punching a slab of rock, pretending it's a Ridarium. She pounds on it, despite damage to her knuckles. She has to get back in shape. Like Rocky.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron pauses and then glances back at Myria. 1"I was offering this more as a terms of a date, as the humans call it. If you wish to change your mind, please don't hesitate too."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitantly hugs back, and follows
<Marcus`> Eh. I think i'm good. How about that SPoC. You think she'd go for someone like me? Man I bet Kat would tell her not too.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl. 1"Is that working for you?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<SPoC> <Dias> You could try. I don't think she'd fully understand everything, but it could work.
<DeathStar> 6* She punches a bit of rock off.
<SPoC> <Dias> Or anything at all.
<Marcus`> Oh that's a good point. That's kinda annoying.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake moves inside a McDonald like place, ordering a combo for himself.
<SPoC> <Dias> But hey, you've been rejected by Kat.
<Myria> Umm...I'm ok...
<Kit> 6Chii stares, bewildered a moment. 1"Well damn. That's fucking awesome. I'd just break my hand unless I used dark energy."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her bleeding knuckles.
<Kit> 6Lilith seems bewildered by the menu.
<Marcus`> Only because I wasn't ready to marry her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I was designed to kill them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A weapon is a weapon, after all.
<SPoC> <Dias> Que Sera. 6He shrugs
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks at Lilith, then goes to explain which each combo has.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gets a small combo, but not quite as small as a happy meal type combo.
<Marcus`> 6* Theron smiles slightly and bows his head. 1"Then I shall see you in a few hours."
<Marcus`> What about Sera?
<SPoC> <Dias> Sera...6He eyes him oddly. 1"Wait, Angela?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You bring the goods?
* Myria nod nods.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps out.
<Kit> 6Chii grins now. 1"Maybe?" 6Playfully.
<SPoC> <Dias> I thought you tapped that already.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sucks on her bloodied knuckles. "I could pretend you're a rock."
<Kit> 6Lilith seems absurdly happy at ordering chicken nuggets.
<Kit> <Chii> You could uphold the other side of the deal~
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pays for the meal, and picks up the tray, moving to a booth. He sits down on the right side of it.
<Marcus`> You said Que Sera. What the hell does that mean?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I gave you a kiss on the cheek. Isn't that a sisterly greeting?
<SPoC> <Dias> How the hell should I know.
<Kit> <Chii> Did you forget? I said whenever we had been apart.
<Marcus`> You're the dumbass the said it. Seriously. *he groans* You make my head ache. I think I need to go to the doctor now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah, right. 6* She leans over and kisses Chii's cheek.
* Myria wonders what brought this on...
<Kit> 6Chii swipes a bottle out from behind her back and offers it to Cheryl with a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it, opens it, and begins to chug it down. If she was a human, she would be dead by now. And an alcoholic.
<SPoC> <Dias> Good.
<Marcus`> Stay out of trouble, dork. And fucking call me so we can hang out. *he slaps Dias on the back and turns to move down a different corridor*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake begins to eat his food at a moderate speed. He doesn't want to appear rushing, but he doesn't want to be slow. It's methodical
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, yeah. 6He waves his hand and heads down a hallway
<DeathStar> -END-
