<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-575
<DeathStar> Location: Prologue
* Ari[AWAY] has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* The battle on the colony between Alpha Cheryl and the Giant Ridiarium. As Cheryl lines up to take that shot that shouldn't have been made, and let to the death of several civilians...she lowers her weapon, and instead opts to grab the Giant Ridiarium and knock him toward the empty park. What result did this have?
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.5
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in a booth in a small resturant, glancing out the window. "How did all this come to be?"
<Jennifer`> "All what?"
* Myria sits...shaking badly...
<SPoC> 6Dias leans against the backrest of his booth, the gun shot wounds to his face healed.
<SPoC> Something must have accorded in the past that did not occur in ours. 6She looks at Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances down at a datapad he stole from someone. "Five years of PAX. It was canceled when Alexander Cran successfully became President. Chad never joined, so he never lost his Id persona. Cheryl stayed with Cran and became his right hand. Ariel apparantly died, as I have no records of her."
* Marcus` sits by Dias, patched up from his fight with ripple, but nevertheless he is alright.
<Jennifer`> "Well yeah, all that's just history..."
<Marcus`> 6*Theron simply places his hand on Myria's shoulder, to calm her.
<Myria> EEEEEEE!
<DeathStar> 6* People in the resturant begin to stare.
<Marcus`> *Theron arches he brow. "Be silent, Myria."
<Myria> ...this reality is purgatorio...
* Jennifer` sighs and rubs her head. "This is just how my reality is... things are different in each one right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there, getting looks herself.
<Myria> ...they...they..never invented...Omega Cokes...
<SPoC> <Dias> My face still hurts. 6He looks over at Chii, an annoyed look on his face.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well what happened to us? Those that were working on the PAX?
<Kit> 6Chii avoids looking at him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I imagine we got reassigned.
<Jennifer`> "Basically yeah."
<Kit> <Chii> Look at this way. The world's a 'nicer' place. Maybe I was never 'born.'
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Lucky us. Working under Cran and Id. *he makes a twirl motion*
<SPoC> That is not important. What is, is getting home.
<Jennifer`> "None of those bad things I read in your history files happened."
<DeathStar> 6* Tsivrixsh soldiers march pass the window with some human soldiers.
<Jennifer`> "Heck... I was born."
<SPoC> 6Dias coughs as he turns to stare out the window
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances away so they don't get a good look.
<Marcus`> Least there's no war, here. Right?
<Kit> 6Chii shivers, staring at the soldiers. 1"Uh, yeah. This place is creepy. I bet Freyja got married."
<Myria> Ummm...those are...
* Arralis` has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Warren> No war. We're in an alliance with the Tsivrixsh Empire.
<Kit> 6Lilith repeatedly flicks Raquel in the forehead, attempting to wake her with chinese torture.
* Jennifer` blinks about to say something, "...Right, Earth in... the other reality is at war with them."
<Myria> ...sp..speaking of which..what happened to the Tsiv strike force...?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries the dial home device again, but nothing happens again. She looks annoyed.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well. Let's just say they were taken care of. *he notes*
<SPoC> 6Dias now looks at Myria. 1"You're serious?
<Jennifer`> * Darce just rubs his face, keeping his head low.
<SPoC> Did you check the battiers? 6She looks at Cheryl, a serious look on her face
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... battiers?
<Myria> Yes, I'm serious...?
<SPoC> I am sorry. I mean batterys.
<Jennifer`> "It doesn't seem like as much time has past as you thought would Dad..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Apparantly not.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I believe that was the work of Miss Freyja. I imagine she was the one that got lost in translation.
<Kit> 6Chii leans on the table, staring out the window with a detached gaze. She doesn't seem to be looking at anything so much as staring off into space.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Jennifer. "I found a Rebecca Carmichael listed as living in Tokyo. We'll take you home."
<SPoC> <Dias> Wow, you really are a mad scientist.
<Jennifer`> "Home...?"
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Yeah kiddo. Home to your real parents.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This is your reality. 6* He states simply, getting out of the booth and moving to pay for the coffee and food they got.
<Myria> Wait...what?
* Myria scratches her head.
* Jennifer` blinks a bit, as though trying to come to terms with that. "R-Right..."
<Kit> <Lilith> Hm... Without strife or war, and lacking Legion. This japan is... serene." 6She seems nostalgic, pulling on Raquel's cheeks.
<SPoC> <Dias> You should just be thankful you have your good looks to fall back on.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps you should be silent now, Miss Myria. You are embarassing me.
<Myria> ...I don't get it...
* Jennifer` gets up, sticking to the man she's come to see as her father after all this time still.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't glance at Jennifer as she comes over.
* Marcus` stands up. "What about the rest of us? It would be weird if we all just showed up with you, Warren."
* Jennifer` looks at him worriedly.
<SPoC> <Dias> It's alright Myria.
<Kit> <Chii> I think it would be strange if he showed up himself.
* Myria just sighs.
<Marcus`> You've got a point, there.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll all go. I don't want us separated at this time.
<SPoC> It is possible that it does not work Cheryl. Maybe we are stuck here forever.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Joy.
<Jennifer`> "But..."
<Kit> <Chii> Tch.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos gets up and claps his hands together. "Can't way to see the look on the other you's face."
<SPoC> <Dias> He'll probably fall in love with himself. 6He smirks
<DeathStar> <Warren> Perhaps he'll just think I'm his younger self. 6* He notes with no real emotion and moves for the exit.
* Jennifer` gulps a little. "Don't you think they'd be looking for us there? They could have identified me while I was being treated..."
* SPoC get's up and moves to catch up with Warren
* Jennifer` follows after him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> A possibility. You're still going home.
<SPoC> 6Dias climbs out of the booth and moves out after the others
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets up and moves after Warren
<Jennifer`> "Alright..."
<Marcus`> Damn, I'd be happy to finally be back in my home reality. *he moves after them, Xanatos and Theron not far behind.*
<Kit> <Chii> I don't get why she didn't just lightstep." 6Grumbles and follows Cheryl.
* Myria stands up and folllows after the group.
<Kit> 6Lilith picks up Raquel and tosses her over a shoulder, moving after.
<Jennifer`> "I am..." *she keeps looking at Warren, her real worry isn't for herself it seems*
<DeathStar> * Cheryl grabs Ariel and drags her along.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Housing Division
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers down a street. It's evening now, and most people seem to be home.
<DeathStar> <Warren> That's the house. 6* He tells Jennifer.
* SPoC looks around with curiousity
* Jennifer` sticks with him, looking down the street, "Yeah..."
* Jennifer` looks back at everyone.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You should go alone.
<Kit> <Chii> See you, Jen. Guess I won't be teaching you anymore.
* SPoC than looks over at Jennifer and hugs her. 1"It was a pleasure to know you."
* Jennifer` hugs SPoC back, "I'm gonna miss you..."
<Marcus`> If you happen to come across me round here and I'm still doing the waiter bit. Just ignore that. I'm really stronger and cooler than I should be.
<SPoC> That is expected.
* Jennifer` smiles at Marcus and nods softly.
<Myria> Ummm...bye...Jennifer...if your hand acts up...well...
<SPoC> <Dias> Take it easy runt.
<Marcus`> *Theron bows his head once. While Marcus just gives a lazy wave.
* Jennifer` walks over and hugs Myria, then Dias.
<Marcus`> NRP: Xanatos not Marcus.
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks, eyeing Jennifer oddly. 1"What are you doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Dias with a look.
<Jennifer`> "Giving you a hug doof."
* Jennifer` grins and walks back over to her Dad. "I ummm..."
<SPoC> <Dias> Well hangs off my ass.
<SPoC> NRP: hands
* Myria sniffles.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Jennifer, then his watch. "You should go now before trouble arrives."
* Jennifer` nods and hugs him. "I'll miss you..."
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, hey. Jen, take this.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just stands there awkwardly.
* Jennifer` lets him go and looks at Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii toses Jen a disc-shaped device. 1"If you spot Chad again in this reality, use it, 'kay? It'll drive his OCD nuts."
<Kit> <Chii> Unless he doesn't have OCD in this one. That'd be boring.
* Jennifer` catches it and puts it away. "Sure."
* Jennifer` starts down the street, looking over her shoulder at them before heading for the front door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances around.
<Kit> 6Lilith inclines her head. 1"She did not say good-bye."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches her go
* Jennifer` rings the doorbell.
<Myria> ...so...what do we do now?
<SPoC> I hope we made the correct decision.
<Marcus`> This is where she belongs.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Jennifer comes face to face with her mother, Rebecca Carmichael. Her eyes widen. "Je-Jennifer?" 6* She says with a gasp of surprise.
<Jennifer`> "H-Hi Mom..."
<DeathStar> 6* The woman grabs her in a hug, holding on tightly. "You're alive."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, then begins to walk away
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets go.
* Jennifer` hugs her and smiles, "Yeah Mom... I am..."
<Marcus`> *Xanatos pats Warren once on the shoulder as he turns to walk after him.
<DeathStar> 6* The older Carmichael woman begins to cry as she holds on
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes him.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances at Jen one last time and turns, moving with Warren.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos just keeps looking ahead. He won't dare do more than that.
* Marcus` turns and moves after Dias.
* SPoC turns, moving after the others
* Myria shuffles along with the rest of the group.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves along after Myria.
<Jennifer`> "It's okay Mom.. I'm safe..."
<Kit> 6Chii lingers for a moment. She sniffs, but that causes her to blink and she turns, grinding her teeth slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, military vehicles pull up in front of them. Chad Winters steps out, along with another Dias. Several soldiers begin to get out
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> *holds on* Your father always believed you were alive. OH God...
<Kit> 6Lilith stares. 1"Efficient. Well-trained." 6She nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth.
<SPoC> This is not good.
* Jennifer` blinks, "Mom...?"
<Kit> <Chii> ...I'm in a bad mood.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "Check it, Dias. You think you're stronger than this guy?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches for gun, but then eyes the soldiers with weapons trained.
<SPoC> <Chad`Winters> As was expected.
<DeathStar> 6* Rebecca just shakes her head, as if not wanting to talk about it
<SPoC> <Dias> Of course. I always think I'm stronger than the other guy.
<Jennifer`> "Mom what is it...?"
<Myria> ...wh...what do we do now...?
<Kit> <Lilith> Sir Carmichael, should I...?
<SPoC> <Chad> You put your weapons down and you all lie face down on the ground.
<Marcus`> But you're the other guy. That's gotta be confusing.
<SPoC> <Dias> Not really, I'll just make sure to punch myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> Your father...*she shakes her head and moves to sit on the couch, moving to pat it for Jennifer to sit with her*
* Jennifer` looks up at her.
<SPoC> 6Chad lifts his hand up, motioning to his guards to aim.
* Jennifer` walks with her and takes a seat. "What about Daddy?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> We can't afford to be taken here. 6* He states to this team.
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> He's dead, Jennifer. He died from a brain tumor about a year ago."
<Kit> <Lilith> Orders, Sir Carmichael.
<Myria> ..I don't have a teleporter or gear...
<Jennifer`> "Wh... WHAT?"
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well, we kinda need a diversion.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Remove their weapons.
* Jennifer` stares, her hand gripping the cushion, shredding it easily, being her fake hand.
<Kit> 6Lilith sets Raquel down slowly.
<Kit> <Chii> Hey Dias, your shoe's untied.
<Jennifer`> "Dad's... dead...?"
<SPoC> 6Chad looks at the team then lowers his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Rebecca stares at the couch being torn apart.
* Jennifer` blinks and looks down, letting go of the cushion.
* Marcus` tenses up.
<Kit> 6Lilith throws her hands out, yanking all the weapons outward, attached or not.
<Jennifer`> "S-Sorry... it... acts up when I'm upset... I..."
* Jennifer` starts to cry.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his own weapon, aiming and firing stun shots.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos spins out his pistols and releases stun shots out.
<SPoC> 6Chad steps back in surprise. He flicks his wrist and hurls a blade for Warren's shoulder
<Kit> 6Lilith lifts her hands up, bringing the weapons upward into the air and concentrating on maintaining that.
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls up his rifle and begins to fire stunning rounds.
<SPoC> 6Alt Dias leans forward and dashes at the group.
<Kit> 6Chii flicks her wrist, sending a shuriken to intercept the blade.
* Myria uses her TK to trip the soldiers up.
* Jennifer` looks up.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is hit in the wrist. He stumbles
<Jennifer`> "Gunfire..."
<SPoC> 6Dias smirks and darts low. He kicks off and shoulder rams into Alt. Dias
* Jennifer` hops up and runs to the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip, dashing forward at Chad.
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> Jennifer! Where are you going?
<Kit> <Chii> Beh, I'm off." 6Turns, levelling her shotgun on stun and firing at bunched groups.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is then hit in the stomach
<Jennifer`> "M-My friends might be in trouble!"
<SPoC> 6Chad slides his hands along his belt pulling out a staff, he extends it and twirls it, waiting for Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> Your friends?
<Jennifer`> "From the other reality... Dad's with them..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> What in the hell...? 6* He's suddenly thrown into a post.
* Jennifer` looks around frantically. "Do we have any guns?"
<Marcus`> *Xanatos jerks his head. "Warren, what the hell?"
<Kit> 6Chii blinks and looks back at Warren. 1"Dude, what the hell?" 6She stares at Xanatos then.
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> Just your dad's stuff...but you can't...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips out at Chad's chest.
<Jennifer`> "They're here because they brought me home."
<Jennifer`> "Where is it?"
* Marcus` has his shotgun out, taking stunning shots at any soldier that looks like a threat.
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> I'mn ot letting you go!
<Jennifer`> "Mom... I'm home... but... I can't..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans against the post, shaking his head.
<SPoC> 6Chad leaps back and onto the hood of his truck, he turns sideways and extends the end of his staff, letting it fly right for Cheryl's throat
<Kit> 6Lilith frowns slightly, then brings all the weapons over and behind her, repoising and studying the field for anything else peculiar.
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> I said no! I'm not having you leave this house again!
* Myria focuses, then uses her TK to try to rock the truck that Chad stands on!
<SPoC> 6The two Dias' fight an epic battle.
<Kit> 6Chii retreats, laying cover with the stun shotgun and checking on Warren. 1"What's up?"
<Jennifer`> "Mom I'm not a little kid... I can't let my friends get hurt!"
<DeathStar> 6* The back door to one of the cars open and a certain redhead steps out in a suit that shows her affiliation with the Earth government.
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> You will obey me, Jennifer! 6* She practically screams that
<Kit> <Chii> Ah hell.
* Jennifer` stares at her.
<Jennifer`> "S-Since when do you talk like that?"
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> Since you have me thinking you were dead for nearly 2 years!
<SPoC> 6Chad shifts his feet as he adjusts to the rocking, his aim going off.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Was a pain in the ass dealing with her head, let alone in combat..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her whip around the staff, yanking it away.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos arches a brow and makes a tch sound. "Well well. This is going to be fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos. "Xanatos Durran."
* Jennifer` points in direction of the sound. "And it's thanks to them I'm alive today."
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> I don't care!
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> How long has it been?
<SPoC> <Chad> Interesting. 6He unhooks a hilt and ingites it, a short plasma blade appearing. He kicks off the hood and dashes in at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would say very long, as I have never met you
<Kit> 6Chii grumbles. 1"Xanatos." 6Tosses him the shotgun again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tenses her body.
* Jennifer` walks up to her, looking at her seriously, with that face she's picked up from Warren. "Mom... I love you, but I have to do this. Now where's Dad's gun?"
<Marcus`> *Xan just tosses it back and then gets a smile. "Interesting, you picking through my head, then?"
<SPoC> 6Chad leaps to the side and hurls the plasma blade, lining up Cheryl and then Chii.
<DeathStar> <Rebecca> You walk out that door, and you don't come back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Indeed.
* Myria tries TKly deflecting the plsma blade off its aim.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his gun from the ground, then turns and just shoots the other Dias
* Jennifer` blinks a little and stares. "Where is it?"
<SPoC> 6The alt Dias is shot and stumbles to the side. Dias presses this advantage and clocks him across the face.
<DeathStar> 6* Rebecca just stares back, and doesn't answer.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> I imagine you're not enjoying what you're seeing.
<SPoC> 6Chad narrows his eyes and kicks off, moving in at Cheryl now.
<Jennifer`> "In the bedroom?"
<Kit> 6Chii breaks out both guns and shifts, firing on the blade once to knock it up, then a second time and sends it back for Chad in a rather weak flight path. She holsters both and catches the shotgun.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes at Chad.
<Myria> ...well...can't really help you there now.
<SPoC> 6Chad eyes the incoming blade and pauses his step a split second.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes low, kicking out at his legs as she slides
<DeathStar> 6* Rebecca glances away.
<SPoC> 6Dias flips up and comes dropping down, driving his knees into the Alt. Dias' chest
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts her hand and hurls Xanatos through the air.
* Jennifer` kisses her cheek. "Mom. I'm sorry, but if you're not going to help me I have to do it on my own."
<DeathStar> 6* Rebecca turns her head away so Jennifer can't kiss her.
<Jennifer`> "The man out there might not be the Warren Carmichael from this reality, but he's my father."
<Marcus`> *Xanatos lands and rolls along a bit, then stands up. "Come'on Erevis. You know why we're here. You know we don't mean any harm."
<SPoC> 6Chad shifts his feet, letting it hit. His leg twists and drops to the ground. He spins his upper body around and catches the blade twirls it in his hand.
<Kit> <Chii> Man, it doesn't matter which reality you're in, Xanatos, you still get pushed around by her." 6Watches him sail over, then land.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alexander Cran wants you. Anything else matters little.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Oh yeah? Well Cran's a manipulative shit. I'm sure you can see why I don't want to get near him.
* Jennifer` turns and heads for the door.
<SPoC> 6Dias then looks over at Erevis and grabs Alt. Dias' feet and twists, lifting him off the ground. He begins spinning around then hurls him at Erevis
<Myria> Hmmmm...how does she exist in this reality then if things went all bloooey?
<Kit> 6Lilith holds out her hand, manipulating the door to hit Erevis from behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts her hand without looking, and hurls Alt. Dias into the door.
<SPoC> <Dias> Sweeet.
<Myria> Dias, hurl all of the bad guys at her!
<SPoC> <Dias> My pleasure. 6He turns and dashes in at a soldier
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Just back off. None of us want to actually fight you. Right? *he gives her a tilt of his head and a smile*
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses, staring at that maneuver.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl swings a fist at her stomach
* Jennifer` opens the door. "I love you... I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Rebecca turns her back to Jennifer
* Jennifer` closes the door behind her and heads for the sounds of battle.
<Kit> 6Chii moves around Xanatos. 1"Good luck with the psychic."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I find several of your allies do not share that sentiment.
<SPoC> 6Chad grunts, his face tensing as the punch hits. He brings the blade down for her side.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims at Chad. "It's over."
<SPoC> 6Chad stops an inch from her chest.
<Kit> 6Lilith eyes Erevis blankly. She's paused fighting at all since seeing the sacrificial ally.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the blade.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> We'll they're not really my allies, so go figure. *he shrugs slightly* I don't want to fight you. I respect you, your power.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances toward Chad now.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Drop it.
* Jennifer` sneaks up on the battle, trying to gather what's going on.
<Kit> <Chii> He also respects your figure.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am aware.
<Kit> 6Chii slides to a halt between Erevis and Warren, Chad, and Cheryl.
<SPoC> <Chad> If you insist. 6He let's his grip go, letting the blade fall straight down.
<SPoC> 6He then kicks off the side, rolling
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> I am a man of desire, I never deny that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snatches the blade, turns, and stabs at his leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head and moves away from the battle altogether.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm already pissed and I don't think I'm ready for someone like you with a gut wound, migraine, lack of spirit energy and poisoned, but..." 6She peers as Erevis begins leaving. 1"Sweet!"
* Jennifer` watches, looking for a weapon and an oppurtunity to help.
<SPoC> Chad continues rolling, blood flinging out from his leg momentarily, He kicks off the ground and slides under a truck
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well there goes that. *he shrugs with a sigh*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets into the truck and cranks it up, driving off with Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches them retreat suddenly.
<Kit> <Lilith> This encounter has ended.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lowers the gun
<Marcus`> It was a bit easy. I mean, I just stood here.
<Kit> 6Lilith turns, eyeing Jennifer. 1"Lady Carmichael."
<SPoC> 6Dias punches a soldier in the face, knocking him out. 1"Already?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns, to see Ariel is missing
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... where's Ariel?
* Jennifer` steps out. "Are you all okay?"
<Kit> <Lilith> She was taken.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Jennifer, pissed off. "What are you doing here?"
<SPoC> Ariel? 6She looks around. 1"I do not know."
<Jennifer`> "I was worried... I heard the gunfire."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks around, a panicked look.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Goddammit, Jennifer. I TOLD YOU TO GO HOME!
<Jennifer`> "Dad..."
<Marcus`> *Xanatos makes an oooh face and backs up.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm not your father. YOUR family lives THERE
<DeathStar> 6* Warren points at the house
<Jennifer`> "You're dead... in this reality..."
<Kit> <Chii> Besides. He doesn't want you involved either way.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks, wincing slightly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ....
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to the others. 1"Misbegotten children latter. Lost mothers of 20+ first."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances back. "They must have taken Ariel in the fight."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs a soldier. "WHERE DID YOU TAKE HER?" 6* She tightens her grip on his throat.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos makes another Oooh face and glances around. "How the fuck can you be this amazing warrior and get your ass stolen every 5 minutes?"
<Jennifer`> "I..."
<Kit> <Chii> Ask Ariel.
<SPoC> <Dias> We'd love to, but ya know how hard it is when she's not here.
<Kit> 6Chii slides her shotgun back onto her shoulder. 1"She seems to be the expert."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Lady Cheryl. Perhaps he needs his throat to speak.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just squeezes harder
* Jennifer` looks back at her house, then the team.
<Kit> <Chii> I have a feeling if we go see the other you, we'll find her, Cheryl. Let him go.
<Myria> Ummm...I could...read his mind...
<Marcus`> <Theron> Let him go and Miss Myria will do just that.
<SPoC> We would need to find where the other Cheryl is. It would be easier to interogate one of these soldiers.
* SPoC moves over to Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets go
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier coughs and gasps.
* Myria tries probing the soldier's mind...
* SPoC looks sad. 1"And I enjoy interrogation too"
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier resists due to the three dots.
<Myria> ...he's got some sor tof protection...
<Kit> <Chii> I'm a bit rusty on interrogation." 6Walks over and crouches.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out his gun and fires into the soldier's knee
<DeathStar> <Warren> Where did they take her?
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier howls in pain, grabbing his ruined knee.
* Jennifer` stares, looking from Warren to the soldier.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl paces like a wild cat.
<SPoC> I am not. 6She pulls out his combat knife and kneels down, pressing it against the mans crotch. 1"You will tell us."
<DeathStar> <Soldier> The Pres--President wanted...to see-see her...
* Marcus` just stands there, not cracking jokes like usual.
<SPoC> And where would that be? 6She presses a little bit harder
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Cran always did have some sick fuck infatuation with Ariel.
<Kit> <Chii> Hey. Tell us where the president's place. If not... well, ...I mean, look, these people are bored.
<DeathStar> <Soldier> The Executive Building...
<SPoC> You will give me the directions and the layout.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Okay I'm bored."
<DeathStar> <Soldier> *stares at them like they're crazy for not knowing where it is*
<Myria> Wouldn't it be where it was before Xevil's assault on Earth?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mega City.
<Marcus`> All that standing there doing nothing must've been hard, Darce.
* SPoC responds but cut his pants and exposing his boxes
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? The ghost town?
<SPoC> NRP: boxers
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Damn, I haven't been there in a while.
<Myria> Its not a Ghost town in this version of reality.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to walk off. "Follow me."
<Kit> 6Chii muses. 1"Really?"
* Jennifer` starts to walk after him.
* SPoC stands up, a happy look on her face now. She bows to the guy.
<Kit> <Chii> Jennifer. Go home. Shoo.
<Jennifer`> * Darce shrugs and follows.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to look at Jennifer. It's a look that says not to follow.
<Jennifer`> "But..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Go home
<SPoC> <Dias> Punch punch. 6He punches his hand into an open palm and starts moving.
<Myria> Ummm...Miss Jennifer...? I...lost my mother...soo...ummm...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks the soldier in the head, knocking him out
<Jennifer`> "A-Alright..."
* Marcus` turns and glances at Dias. "Punch, Punch?"
* SPoC goes to knock the guy out and looks at Cheryl. 1"You have ruined my fun."
* Jennifer` turns and runs back to her house.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches her go, then turns and moves on
<SPoC> <Dias> You realize that they know she was with us right?
<Kit> 6Lilith picks up Raquel and carries her along.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Oi... it's gonna bite us in the ass later."
<DeathStar> <Warren> IF they wanted her, they would have been in the house
<Marcus`> *Theron turns and moves after the others now.
<Myria> They alreayd have Ariel...sooooo...
<SPoC> <Dias> Why? We were more of a target, but if we leave...
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Yeah really. Ariel, little kid. Who'd you choose?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps going.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows Warren.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her chin, then turns to follow the two.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm just saying. 6He holds his hands up.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Public Hanger
<DeathStar> 6* A single security guard protects the shuttles inside the landing hanger
<Kit> <Chii> Kidding me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans around the corner, eyeing the guard with narrowed eyes.
<SPoC> It would be wise to knock him out silently.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Should we draw straws?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just marches on by, and right up to the gurad, getting his attention
<Kit> 6Chii sighs and follows Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Guard> You can't be her-- 6* She clubs him in the face with her fist.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts and moves on around the corner.
<SPoC> <Dias> Cheryl's on fire...6He whistles and mvoes around the corner
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Cheryl always was my favorite when she got pissy.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Very effective..."
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Xanatos over her shoulder.
<SPoC> Hmmm. 6She moves out..
<Jennifer`> * Darce moves out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs the doors and rips off the lock, and opens them, to come face to face with the owner of this hanger bay --- Xanatos Durran!?
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head and perhaps frowns since he didn't get to ninja the guy down.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the second Xanatos.
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> Whoa easy now hun-*He pauses and widens his eyes.
<Kit> 6Chii whips out one of her guns, training it on the second Xanatos. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I guess he didn't kill himself.
<SPoC> <Dias> Dude...Did he just lock himself in this hanger?
<Kit> <Chii> Fortunately or unfortunately?
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Holy shit. I blame you. *he says to Warren*
* Marcus` snorts and laughs.
<Marcus`> *Alt Xan glances around and then eyes himself. "What the fuck is going on?"
<Kit> <Chii> We're taking a shuttle.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks at the second Xan. 1"Were you locked inside?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the second Xanatos, then just walks in to steal a shuttle. Ironically, she picks Xan's.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'll fly! 6He moves inside, pushing past Chii
<Myria> Well..at least he isn't trying to kill us too.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks on in.
<Kit> 6Chii smiles widely. 1"Hope you don't mind, kiddo." 6She eyes Dias briefly, mumbling.
<Marcus`> <Alt Xanatos> H-hey! That's my shuttle! Goddamnnit, stop.
* Myria walks on in as well.
* SPoC steps past Alt Xanatos. 1"We will bring it back in once piece."
<SPoC> NRP: One
<Marcus`> *Theron and Marcus walk in.
<Jennifer`> * Darce boards. "Durran, follow us and I'll make you think you're a chimpanzee."
<Kit> 6Lilith wanders past Chii and Xanatos carrying Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a seat.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos steps by and pats Alt Xan on the shoulder. "I know how you feel." He nods once and gets on.
* Myria boards and straps herself in.
<Kit> 6Chii circles alt Xanatos with her gun trained, then trails Xanatos, holstering it.
<SPoC> 6Dias hops into the pilots seat and tries turning it on
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets into a seat. He rubs his forehead, and pops a vicodin
<Kit> <Chii> Later flyboy two.
* SPoC steps in and sits down
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> Hey, hotshot, you wanna meet up with me later? *he wiggles his brow at CHii*
<Kit> 6Chii stares, then glances at Xanatos.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos just shakes his head and gets on the ship.
<Kit> <Chii> We'll see when we return the ship, eh?
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> I'll treat ya right. You can count on that. *he smiles*
<Kit> 6Chii steps up and hits the close button.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies off moments later, leaving Alt Xan standing there
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> ...wait a minute.
<Kit> <Chii> ...At least you're still you. No matter where you go. 1" Eyes Xanatos.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Gee, I thought I had grown up some. Guess I was wrong.
<Myria> think he's realizing that we just stole his shuttleright about now.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It must have been Erevis' influence.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well I won't deny that. Kinda miss the old me. *he notes with a frown*
* Jennifer` steps up to alternate Xanatos. "Hey mister."
<Kit> <Chii> If you miss it so much, we can go out later.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't react to Chii flirting with Xan
<Marcus`> *Alt Xan glances over his shoulder. "...how old are you?"
<SPoC> 6Dias turns to looks at Chii, his jaw dropped
<Jennifer`> "Nearly 16... ummm... I have to follow those people."
<Kit> 6Chii stares at Dias. 1"What?"
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> Sure hope you can fly.
<Jennifer`> "Not well... can you fly me?"
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Sorry, kid. I've got this girl i'm kinda fallin for.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'll give it a 6 for effort. 6He goes back to flying
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Xan.
<Jennifer`> "We can get your shuttle back."
<Marcus`> <Alt Xanatos> Wouldn't even if they didn't just steal my shuttle.
<SPoC> I do not understand. What is a 6?
<Kit> <Chii> Apparently hitting on me was something the 'old him' would do. I don't give a damn.
<Jennifer`> "You're Xanatos Durran right?"
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well. Fallen, Fell. You fet what I mean.
<Marcus`> NRP: get*
<DeathStar> <Warren> You never learned to let go
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> Yeah.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> I'm slow. *he smiles*
<Jennifer`> "I'm Jennifer Carmichael... ummm... I really need a ride... it's just to Mega City."
<SPoC> <Dias> Or retarded.
<Kit> <Chii> Or both." 6Brings one of her guns up, pulling out tools to clean it.
* SPoC frowns, having been denied precious knowledge.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> I'll kill you. All.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Just kidding. Ha ha ha.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Mega City.
<DeathStar> 6* It's day time in Mega City.
<DeathStar> 6* The bustling metropolis looks bigger than ever.
* Marcus` arches a brow, then smiles. "I really missed this place."
<SPoC> 6Dias whistles
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts. "Land us there." 6* He picks out a public place.
<SPoC> <Dias> What? We aren't gonna fly into the executive building?
<Kit> <Chii> Anyone mind if I let Xanatos go now?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<SPoC> <Dias> Bah, no fun. 6He breings them down
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Let's just do this..."
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> If you were scared, Chii. You coulda just said so.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps her eyes closed, looking as if she were asleep.
<Kit> 6Chii sneers at Xanatos, maybe something she picked up from Cheryl, and coils her wire back up rather than leaving it a web of sharp lines around Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands as soon as they land and hits the ramp open button
<SPoC> 6Dias lands his trademark way. Roughly
<Kit> <Chii> So this is what that ghost town used to look like, huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes and gets up and walks off.
* Myria unbuckles herself.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos looks unimpressed with Chii and just pats her on the head as he gets up to walk down the ramp.
<SPoC> More or less.
* SPoC moves down the ramp. Dias gets up and moves out himself
<Marcus`> Dude, I wonder if i'm around here. *he gets off the shuttle*
<DeathStar> <Voice> Well, well, so these are the people causing the government all the trouble.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps off the shuttle, his eyes drift towards the voice.
<SPoC> 6Dias pauses. 1"No..."
<Kit> 6Chii marches down the ramp, glaring at Xanatos, then turns to peer at the voice.
<Myria> Huh?
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly looks over at John McCormick. 1"DUDE"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances toward the voice, and stares at a redhaired man wearing a brown coat and stylish outfit
<Jennifer`> * Darce turns, raising a brow.
<DeathStar> 6* Standing next to him is a human Angela Bennet.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. Him.
<Marcus`> Check it out, it's Angie.
<Kit> 6Chii bristles. 1"And her!?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Do I know you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes John unimpressed
<Myria> John! *bounds toward him*
<Marcus`> *Theron watches silently.
<DeathStar> 6* John McCormick stares at them. "Wow. You guys totally look like them."
<SPoC> 6Dias slumps. 1"You always get all the woman."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "They do, don't they, I told you those channels were really talking about clones or dopplegangers."
<Kit> 6Lilith descends the ramp, holding the limp thing that is Raquel.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Let me guess. You're here because you want to help us stick it to Cran?
<Kit> <Chii> Woah, woah. I ain't a clone or a doppleganger.
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah. You did good. We should tell Kane his intelligence was good.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks a thumb at Xanatos. 1"He is, though."
* SPoC looks over at John, tilting her head
<Marcus`> *Xanatos pauses and widens his eyes. "Kane? Holy shit, Chris is alive?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I'll send him a message Johnny." *she grins at him*
* Myria leaps at John!
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Xanatos. "Well, yeah. And he had his brother's hanger tagged, hence how we knew you---"
<DeathStar> 6* He's tackled by Myria
<Myria> I knew you wouldn't stay dead!
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Another girl John?"
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Damn, this reality has all sorts of people that are alive. *he notes with a hmm*
<Marcus`> *Theron turns away to glance around at the city now.
<SPoC> 6Dias rubs the back of his head now as he studies John.
<DeathStar> <John> I never met her!
<Kit> <Chii> Like I said, it's nicer here. I doubt I exist here.
<Jennifer`> * Angela taps away at her datapad. "Mmmhmm... well get her off you."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms, impatient.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well then I guess the place aint perfect. *he gives Chii a wink*
<Myria> I am Myria Arhnya. *hops off of him*
<DeathStar> 6* John stands, then gives his famous smile. "John McCormick. But you seem to know that."
<Kit> 6Chii blinks at Xanatos, then turns away, cheeks reddening as she puzzles on that.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren crosses his arms.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Angela Bennet, or Angie, but you all seem to know me too."
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at Cheryl then looks at John. 1"So you're here to help us than?"
<DeathStar> <John> Damn straight. We're a group that's been working to take Cran down."
<Kit> <Chii> Is he really that bad?
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Any enemy of Cran is a friend of ours.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Everyone knows he's rotten, we're just working to expose it."
<SPoC> <Dias> Excellent. We should get moving than, time's an issue with us.
<Kit> 6Chii turns back. 1"...Everyone? I've never met the guy."
<DeathStar> 6* John studies Dias warily
<DeathStar> <John> Wow, you look just like that Weapon dude.
<SPoC> <Dias> Pscht. That pussy?
<Myria> ....Angela...do you know what an Omega Coke is...? *looks hopeful*
<Marcus`> Yeah, but this one has a mark on his head. *he shows John*
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Should I tell Kane where they landed so he can have Xan pick up his precious junk heap?"
<DeathStar> <John> Sweet scar.
<Jennifer`> * Angela eyes Myria. "Nope."
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah. And tell Kane we'll need the layout for Cran's building.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Hey don't talk about my...er his shuttle!
<SPoC> 6Dias scowls at Marcus than looks at John, he tilts his head slightly. 1"You tihnk so?"
<DeathStar> <John> Girls dig scars, man.
<SPoC> <Dias> Huh. Never thought of it that way. 6He scratches his chin
<Jennifer`> * Angela nods and sends off a message.
<DeathStar> <John> Follow us. We'll take you to Kane.
<Kit> 6Chii moves around the group of people and peers along the streets.
* Myria looks downcast...
<DeathStar> 6* John glances around, then begins to move down a street.
<Kit> 6Lilith follows John like a lost puppy. Har.
<Jennifer`> * Angie moves off with him, walking while typing.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts. He seems to not like this, but has no choice. He follows along.
* Myria shuffles along...
* Marcus` and Theron and Xan all move along.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks on.
* SPoC moves alongside Warren.
<Kit> 6Chii sighs again and turns, following along.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at Cheryl. 1"So do you dig my scar?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not in the mood.
<Marcus`> You know, I thought you of all people would've figured out that chicks dig scars.
<SPoC> <Dias> I know. 6He sighs and looks back over at John. 1"So don't tell me you and Angela.
<DeathStar> <John> What about us?
<Kit> <Chii> You know. I hate to ask considering this place seems so much more 'peaceful.' But... What would they want with Ariel... and why was she dead/
<SPoC> 6Dias pulls out two puppets and motions
<Myria> I don't really dig scars, actually.
<DeathStar> <John> She's with Kane.
<SPoC> <Dias> Shew.
<DeathStar> <John> You don't know about Ariel?
<Kit> 6Chii locks onto John.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps I should keep my scars hidden, then. *he says to Myria*
<DeathStar> <John> Daddy's little girl killed Ariel.
<Jennifer`> Angela> *smiles to herself and types away, probably taking up Kane's valuable time in messenger*
<Kit> <Chii> ...Daddy's little girl?
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly glances over at Cheryl
* Arralis` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <John> Cheryl. 6* He motions at their Cheryl.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Alpha Cheryl, cold one."
<SPoC> <Dias> What?! Why?
* Marcus` arches his brow and glances at Cheryl. "Probably because Cran ordered it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, tightening her fist
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms and peers upward. 1"Hmm..."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Because she's a loyal little princess."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6* He peers at Cheryl silently.
<Kit> <Chii> That's enough.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Ho boy. Our Cheryl sure is different.
<Kit> 6Chii waves her hand. 1"Like I said, sorry I asked."
<DeathStar> <John> Is she really? 6* He eyes her.
<Kit> 6Chii moves to kicks Xanatos in the back of the leg.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Glad to hear it."
<SPoC> <Dias> Well our Cheryl's far to cool to do that.
<Jennifer`> * Angela reguards Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just ... walks more to the side and by herself.
<Myria> Are you interested in me that way, Theron?
<Marcus`> *Xanatos flinches. "What the fuck Chii? How'm I supposed to flirt you up when you hit me?"
<Kit> 6Chii steps between Angela and Cheryl. She eyes Xanatos coldly.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Mmm... Johnny, looks like Xan is headed here too."
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...
<DeathStar> <John> Really? More's the merrier.
<DeathStar> <John> He always enjoyed having a shot at that God.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I suppose."
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at Cheryl again. 1"What god?"
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Who you think, Dias?
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, Erevis. You guys must not have met that one. So, tell me, how awesome am I where you're from?
<Myria> What? Can't I tease>
<Myria> ?
<Kit> <Chii> We met her, and you're dead.
<DeathStar> 6* John stares.
<SPoC> <Dias> You're dead. 6His voice definetly sounds saddened at that
<Kit> 6Chii peers at the wall as she walks.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, that sucks.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Wow... how'd he manage that?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is not something I am used too.
<Marcus`> The way Dias hypes you up, you totally saved the team.
<SPoC> <Dias> You died fighting of Desaeus.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren suddenly stops.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "...The fifth lord of hell?"
<Marcus`> *Xanatos pauses and glances at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* He looks down at a red dot on his heart.
<Myria> ...what? Why did you stop?
<Kit> 6Chii growls. 1"Everyone."
<Myria> ...unh-oh...
<Jennifer`> Angela> "That's just ep---"
<DeathStar> 6* John glances back, then looks around for a sniper.
<SPoC> 6SPoC narrows her eyes then shoves Warren out of the way
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* A figure leaps down in front of them
<DeathStar> 6* A fifteen year old girl with long brown hair rises.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Good god. Who is it now?
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts into a defensive stance.
<Jennifer`> * Angela pulls out her gun and aims at the figure.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're alive...?
<Marcus`> Holy shit. Is that Zephyr!
<SPoC> <Dias> Zephr?
<SPoC> NRP: Zephyr.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh. The Dragoon runt.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Alpha Zephyr..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is wearing a long coat, despite the weather, probably hiding her weaponary.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's eyes widen
* SPoC looks down at Warren. 1"Are you uninjured?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks toward Warren.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Dude, it's a good thing Ariel isn't here.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm fine. 6* He turns to look at Zephyr.
<Kit> <Chii> Remember was Jennifer said about you, Warren?
<Marcus`> NRP: Son of a. That was Marcus.
* SPoC stands up and reaches down to help Warren up. She looks at Zephyr, her eyes quivering slightly
* Myria shifts on her feet awkwardly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at SPoC. "You look like her. And you look like him."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* John seems to be ready for a brawl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Zephyr. "... ..."
<Marcus`> *Xanatos watches the interaction, glancing from the left to the right.
<SPoC> 6Dias has his guard completely dropped
<Jennifer`> * Angela keeps her gun trained. "Who do they look like?"
<Kit> 6chii glances over her shoulder at Cheryl.
* Marcus` slides up to John. "Psst. Is she evil?"
<SPoC> I am SPoC. 6She stares at Zephyr
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know. She's off radar mostly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We're from an alternate reality.
* Marcus` nods once, watching Zephyr closely.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reaches up and touches his face.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well count me out. I can't fight her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You have the same eyes.
<Kit> <Chii> Where unfortunately Zephyr is gone as well." 6She changes from 'dead' to 'gone' still peering at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks away from Zephyr.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I don't like Dragoons... you know that." *she eyes John before looking back at Zephyr*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at all of them. She peers at Cheryl curiously.
<Marcus`> Well get used to it ANgie. We're friends with them.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Well here they're bad news, get used to that."
<Kit> <Chii> Zephyr was quite ...loved.." 6She tests the word. 1"Amongst us."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I want to help you
<Jennifer`> * Angela raises a brow. "You want to wha?"
<Marcus`> See. Look. Good people. *he says to Angela*
<SPoC> It will be good to work with you again Zephyr. 6She bows
<Kit> <Chii> Unpredictable little firecracker. Regardless of the realm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<SPoC> <Dias> Drop it Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands there, peering at them all
<DeathStar> <John> Well. ... Uh, lets go. 6* He seems reluctant to lead her to their base, but goes ahead.
<Jennifer`> * Angela slowly puts her weapon up. "You call Johnny..."
<Jennifer`> *your
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks on ahead. Zephyr watches her back, then turns to smile at Warren and SPoC.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So. What are you two like?
<Kit> 6Chii stares slowly at Dias, not considering him to understand enough, and rolls her eyes.
* Marcus` turns and continues on. As does Theron and Xan.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances one last time at Zephyr and moves after Cheryl and the group.
* Myria follows after Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts and moves on
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. You act like him, too.
<SPoC> I am very much alive. 6She smiles
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks after SPoC and Warren
<Kit> <Chii> He's a grouchy brainiac.
<Kit> 6Chii moves along, keeping an eye on Zephyr.
* Ariel has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<DeathStar> <John> This keeps getting weirder and weirder.
<Marcus`> You're telling me. In this reality I think I'm still a waiter.
<SPoC> <Dias> What would make you think that?
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Let's just get home." *she avoids looking at Zephyr*
<DeathStar> <John> You know, I think you served me a burger once.
<SPoC> <Dias> I bet it sucked.
<Marcus`> Serious? I bet it was awesome.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "You undertipped him too."
<Kit> <Chii> I bet it had something in it.
<Myria> Theron?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Yes, Miss Myria?
<Myria> Do you feel out of place right now?
<Marcus`> You know what. I'm a damn good waiter. I'm just a better fighter now.
<SPoC> You appear to be much younger than the Zephyr I worked under. Do you not posses the ability to change your age?
<SPoC> <Dias> Eh...
<Marcus`> <Theron> Indeed, I do.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at her. "Change my age?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Great, they metamorph too?"
<DeathStar> 6* John whistles a tune.
<Marcus`> You know, Angie. That's racism.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Metamorph? Have you... only seen them humanoid?
<SPoC> Yes. You were able to rapidly age and deage. It was quite effective on the battlefield.
<Kit> 6Lilith huffs, Raquel is getting heavy.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel doesn't weigh that much ;.;
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can't do that. No.
* Myria moves over and hugs on to Theron.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Pch."
<Kit> 6Lilith has been carrying her half a session, even while in combat.
<SPoC> It does not matter. Zephyr is still Zephyr. 6She nods
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: John's Radical Base. No. Seriously. The sign says that
<DeathStar> 6* John walks in, moving up to a geek at a computer. "Kane, we're here."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps in and leans against a wall, glancing at the floor.
<Marcus`> <Kane> You took longer than I calculated. Did you stop to talk to another girl?
<Kit> <Chii> You know, this reality pisses me off.
<Jennifer`> * Angie walks up and wraps her arms around Kane. "I'm home."
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah. Her. 6* He motions at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers about the base.
<Jennifer`> Angie> "And some blue girl too, he brought her home as well."
<DeathStar> <John> What about this reality pisses you off?
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Chii curiously.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh don't worry about her, everything pisses her off
<Marcus`> *Kane smiles at Angie and then looks at Zephyr, he pauses. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps in.
<Kit> <Chii> ..It's lucid. Everyone keeps meeting people they know. There's nothing for me here.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Yeah, a Dragoon."
<DeathStar> 6* John puts an arm around Chii
<DeathStar> <John> I could make it memorable.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes the arm, then John. 1"I could make it painful."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "She claims she wants to help us."
<DeathStar> <John> *grins* I bet you could.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Kane
<Marcus`> <Kane> I see. Now I will have to redo the scenario.
<Kit> 6Chii drags a gun out and points it upward toward John's head. "1..."
<DeathStar> 6* John removes his arm.
<Kit> 6Chii holsters the gun.
<DeathStar> 6* And completely ignores the gun
* Myria rocks on her heels.
<SPoC> <Dias> Pssst, John.
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah?
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Dias.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Is it gonna take long?" *she sits down next to Kane*
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there silently. Though he doesn't seem as tense at the moment.
<SPoC> <Dias> She's never been with a man. 6He winks
<Kit> <Chii> You'd think with the coincidences I'd at least run into my twin.
<DeathStar> 6* John peers at Chii.
* SPoC looks around curiously
<Kit> <Chii> Even if I don't exist.
<Marcus`> <Kane> Perhaps. I hate it when he does this.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh yeah. 6He nods to him, giving him his trademark smile
<DeathStar> <John> Eh, she's not my type.
<Marcus`> Way to be a sourpuss Chii-Chii. Do you see me freaking out because I've not run into myself or something like that?
<Jennifer`> Angela> "We've known him for how long and you still don't plan on this?"
<Kit> <Chii> Dias, why are you talking about me like i'm not here?
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, that apparently seems to be a theme everywhere. I think it's cuz she's too butch.
<Marcus`> <Kane> I know. I know.
<DeathStar> <John> No, she's very cute.
<DeathStar> <John> And her body is really nice.
<Jennifer`> * Angie just smiles and kisses his cheek.
<Kit> 6Chii turns, choking. She mumbles. 1"Yeah, this reality... everything about it's pissing me off."
<SPoC> 6Dias tilts his head, evaluatiing wiht John. 1"Her ass could use some work tho."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks aorund uncomfortably, staying close to her guardian. She is completely lost on things.
<DeathStar> 6* John studies Chii's ass.
<Kit> 6Lilith stares at Raquel, wondering when she woke up. She sets her down.
* Marcus` slides up. "Dude, It's just not big and plump like you like them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Raquel.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel had lots of time to wake up during the timejump
<Kit> 6Lilith moves away and stands at the door. Guarding?
* Myria finds a place to sit and plops down
<SPoC> 6Dias just waves Marcus off. 1"She's flexible tho.
<DeathStar> <John> *glances at Chii* I bet they do that to you alot.
<Kit> 6Chii glares over her shoulder. 1"Yeah."
<Kit> <Chii> Pretty much ever since I slept with Katrina.
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6* He jerks.
<Jennifer`> * Angie rests her head on Kane's shoulder and watches him work. "I wish I was half as good at this as I was with machines..."
* Marcus` coughs.
<SPoC> 6Dias makes an ooh face.
<DeathStar> <John> Katrina's...alive in your..world?
<Marcus`> <Kane> But then there would be no need for me.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah...
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> She is now. She wasn't for a very long time.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel heads over to Lilith and whispers quietly, "...what's going on?"
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah. She mentored me and taught me and Freyja a few things.
<DeathStar> 6* John opens his mouth and closes it. He looks very, very rattled.
<Jennifer`> Angie> "You'll always be my genius." *she smiles and snugs him*
<DeathStar> 6* John mumbles something about checking on things and steps out
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her cheek and glances upward. 1"And had fun, in between."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches John go.
<Marcus`> Wow, Chii. Way to bring up Kat, you moron.
<SPoC> 6Dias stare sat Chii. 1"Way to go Chii. Bring up John's sister."
<Kit> <Chii> Your point?
<SPoC> <Dias> Uh, obvioulsy she's dead.
<Marcus`> Moron. *he repeats*
<Kit> <Chii> How would I have known that, eh?
<Kit> <Chii> I've never seen her dead.
<SPoC> <Dias> By his reaction? 6He looks at her
<Marcus`> Tell him you're a lesbo and ask if he has a sister.
* SPoC goes back to looking at Zephyr curiously
<Kit> <Chii> Why would I do that?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes a seat
<Kit> <Lilith> We are attempting to infiltrate an executive building and retrieve Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... can we hurry this up? 6* She barks at Kane.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos steps over and looks over Kane's shoulder he narrows his eyes. "Can't believe you two are still together."
<Myria> ...this reality is weird...
<Marcus`> <Theron> Indeed it is.
<Kit> 6Chii moves past Marcus and Dias. 1"You two are annoying. Just shut up and I'll deal with it." 6She moves off to follow John.
<Jennifer`> * Angela looks at Xan, "Why wouldn't we be?"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Alternate Reality Xanatos Durran arrives behind Lilith
<Kit> <Lilith> Halt.
<SPoC> <Dias> Just leave him be, you'll only make it worse Chii.
<Marcus`> <Xan> Eh. Things happen.
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> Halt yourself, good looking.
<Kit> 6Chii ignores Dias.
<Kit> 6Lilith reaches into her heart and pulls out the nodachi. 1"You will not pass."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Alt-Xan
<Marcus`> *Kane ignores Cheryl, intent on finishing up.
<DeathStar> 6* John does some training, performing moves that Katrina is always known for using
<Jennifer`> "Why did we stop here again?" *walks in behind Alt. Xan*
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> Oh god that's disgusting.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to eye Jennifer. His eyes narrow.
<SPoC> 6Dias just shakes his head and moves over to Marcus
<Kit> <Lilith> Base occupants, we have visitors.
* Jennifer` sees the team and her eyes widen. "...Damn."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Kit> <Lilith> ...
<Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes at Jennifer. 1"One is Lady Carmichael."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Jennifer. "Hello, Jennifer."
<Jennifer`> "A-Alpha Zephyr?"
<Kit> 6Lilith slides the sword back into her heart and moves aside for the two.
<Marcus`> <Alt Xan> And another looks just like someone in your group. Jeez. *he shakes his head and steps in*
<Jennifer`> * Angela looks up and peers, gasping a bit. "...Jenny?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles at her.
<Myria> Well...we don't have to worry about them kidnapping Jennifer now, Theron.
<Kit> <Chii> Hey. John.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel speaks quietly, "...I feel out of place."
<Kit> <Lilith> You are not alone, Raquel.
* Jennifer` walks over and hugs Zephyr. "Hey!"
<Marcus`> <Theron> That situation has been erased from my mind. *he says, perhaps making a joke*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren closes his eyes. He's pissed.
<Jennifer`> * Angie gets up and walks over, staring. "But... you're dead?"
<DeathStar> 6* John punches a bag and dodges it.
<DeathStar> <John> Yo.
<Kit> <Chii> The retards have been kind enough to inform me that I was a bitch. Sorry. I lack a heart and all, so I tend to say whatever I feel like.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at her.
<DeathStar> <John> Huh? You don't need to apologize.
<Jennifer`> "U-Ummm... yeah... I'm alive... it's a long story."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pats Jen on the back
<Marcus`> Jen here has been in our reality.
<Marcus`> See. It's not so long.
<Kit> <Chii> People tend to get pissy when dead people are talked about. Or moody or whatever. I guess I can understand. Since being around Katrina I've learned to create attachments. When Cheryl gets hurt it ticks me off.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Still not getting that, you're all from some alternate dimension... how's Jen get there? She just vanished one day."
<DeathStar> <John> You just caught me off guard. Don't sweat it.
<Kit> 6Chii observes John, then crosses her arms. 1"...Are you remembering her fighting method?"
<DeathStar> <John> It's mine, actually.
<Jennifer`> "Still not completely sure..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Your father missed you very much.
<Kit> <Chii> I see. Then I suppose I should thank you." 6She assumes Katrina's stance, mimicing from memory.
* Jennifer` hugs Zephyr again. "But yeah... that's kinda what happened..."
<Jennifer`> "Yeah... I heard he died..."
<DeathStar> 6* John studies her. "So. You're banging my sister.":
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
* Jennifer` looks over at Warren.
<Marcus`> *The two Xan's seem to be talking, probably about alternate life.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is watching the layout that KAne's working on
<Myria> This is ever so complicated.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? Not really. She said she wants something more meaninful, so she cut us off. She taught me, though, so I see it as a little unfair.
* SPoC moves over beside Warren and studies it herself
<DeathStar> <John> Huh. Well, she has good taste. Or had it.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I find a peace of solace in the chaos.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Well... tell me all about it later alright? I'll add it to the logbook."
<Kit> 6Chii drops her guard and shakes her head. 1"I don't know about that. I owe a lot to her though. I didn't understand feelings at all, but she protected me and taught me anyway."
<Myria> How do you do it?
<Jennifer`> * Angela leans down and hugs her, Jennifer... hesitantly hugs back.
<Kit> <Chii> It may be full of knives and bullets, but I have my own life now. I'm not sharing it with Freyja.
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is something I've learned from my time watching over you. *he gives her a joking smirk*
<DeathStar> <John> Well, here's a little humanity clue for you. Not everyone understands others' feelings, or their own.
<Myria> Teach me?
<Kit> <Chii> I know that." 6She peers offward, rubbing her neck. 1"Cheryl's that way."
<Kit> <Chii> I just didn't have any.
<Jennifer`> "Mom's kinda crazy... I'll go back after all the rest here can get home safe."
<Marcus`> <Kane> Do you see a location that you would think Ariel may be? I'm having trouble gaining that information.
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know. Maybe you always had them, and just didn't realize it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over to the layout
<Marcus`> <Theron> Think happy peaceful thoughts. I often think of the beaches of Erusia.
<DeathStar> 6* She points to a spot.
<Kit> 6Chii stares at John, silent for a moment. 1"Anything's possible, I guess. You don't know how I was born, so I guess you're free to say such things."
<Jennifer`> * Angela walks back over to the layout.
<Marcus`> <Kane> You are sure?
* SPoC tilts her head slightly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes.
* Jennifer` rubs her nose a little and watches Warren.
<Marcus`> <Kane> And how do we trust you?
<DeathStar> <John> Doesn't matter how you were born.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can't tell you that.
<DeathStar> 6* John puts his hands behind his head, moving for the others. "Life is life, no matter how it comes to be, I say."
<SPoC> That is unfortunate.
<Marcus`> <Kane> Then i'll accept your aid at face value. *he says with a nod of his head*
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms, silent again at that. 1"The name didn't seem to mean anything, but... Maybe. Have you ever a girl my age... hair waist-length. Often wears frilly things and bells?"
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, never mind." 6Follows him.
<DeathStar> <John> 'fraid not.
<Kit> <Chii> Lost her again.
<Myria> Ahhhh.. *zones out*
<Jennifer`> * Angela looks over the base and yawns a little.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. Lets move out
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers up at the building
<Kit> <Chii> Big enough?
<SPoC> It would not be the Executive Building if it were small.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts a hand to his ear. "We're here, Kane."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up, gritting her teeth
* Jennifer` looks up at the building, standing near Warren.
<SPoC> 6Dias nudges Marcus. 1"Ready to fight all the way up?"
<DeathStar> 6* John punches his fist into his palm. "I'm looking forward ot this."
<Marcus`> Oh hell yeah. *he smiles*
<Kit> <Chii> Just try not to fall behind, old man.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel frowns at the building, not liking this.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hope you can keeup with us Johnny. 6He smirks at him cockily
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves forward and shows an ID to the guards. "I have the prisoners."
<Marcus`> <Kane on Comm> You have a general idea of the layout. I will inform you of each alert I recieve.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards nod and step aside. Zephyr waves them in. "In."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drops his hand and moves inside the building
* SPoC moves forward, heading inside. Dias moves in also
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps in, peering at a guard, who trembles on reflex.
<Marcus`> * Xanatos walks along.
* Jennifer` walks with Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Angela sighs a bit and walks along with John.
<DeathStar> 6* John walks inside.
* Marcus` looks about, Theorn silently evaluates.
<Jennifer`> * Darce quietly walks along towards the rear.
<Kit> 6Chii steps inside, grumbling about something poking her in unsafe places.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel walks silently, trying to keep attention from being drawn to her... she just doesn't like the idea of being stared at.
<Kit> 6Lilith floats in after Raquel, giving the guards a vacant glance.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards stare
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leads them along, following the layout picked out by KAne.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr pauses, glancing up at the ceiling.
* SPoC stops, and looks down at Zephyr
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes Zephyr.
* Myria sticks close to Theron, as usual...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She forms her dragoon bustah gun
<Kit> 6Chii follows Zephyr's gaze instead.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What in the hell are you doing?
<SPoC> Is this wise?
<DeathStar> 6* John stares. "Oh man, oh man. Game over, man!" 6* He waves his hands.
<Jennifer`> * Angela pulls her gun out.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Wahat? What?
<Kit> <Chii> She's making a straight path.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alpha Cheryl's bloodlust is rising. I think they are done with Ariel and she is about to kill her.
<DeathStar> 6* She aims at the ceiling and begins to charge her gun
<SPoC> <Dias> Than let's make a grand entrance.
* Jennifer` hides behind Warren.
<Kit> 6Chii begins emptying her armoury out of her clothes.
<DeathStar> 6* Fires a huge beam into the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* John peers up at the huge hole that goes straight up. "Sweet."
<Kit> 6Chii reattaches her swords to her back and holsters her guns and laces her straps with kunai and shurikens.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets the gun vanish.
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to nimbly leap straight up, using each floor as a jump off.
<Kit> 6Chii then leaps up, grabbing the edge of the next floor and hops up, peering around, then gazes for the next.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Most useful.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Alright... that's one way of doing it."
<Myria> Ummm...anyone need a telkinetic lift...?
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms begin to off
<SPoC> <Dias> Think that got their attention...HEY. 6He crouches and tries to leap up.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes, Myria. Get us up.
<Jennifer`> * Darce sighs and looks at Myria. "I'll help."
<Kit> 6Lilith grabs Raquel, and then begins using the circular holes in the floor as a rail line to hoist her and Raquel up magnetically.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches her go.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitates, "...um... Lilith...?"
<Marcus`> *Theron kneels and leaps up after.
<Myria> Alright! Darce, let's do this! *starts the TK levitation*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to leap up.
<Kit> <Lilith> Save energy.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up his arms, acting like he's flying
<Jennifer`> * Angie pulls out some traps and tosses them down the hallway. Just before she's levatated up!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly
<Marcus`> *Marcus leaps after Dias.
<Jennifer`> * Darce starts moving people up.
<Kit> 6Chii gets the knack for it and begins springing floor to floor like Zephyr. 1"Show off."
<Marcus`> *Xan coughs. "Show offs."
<SPoC> 6Dias is lifted instead.
<Kit> 6Chii glances down at Xan. What the hell is it with saying the same things today?
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Guess we're soul mates. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* John flies!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks his gun as he is lifted.
<Kit> 6Chii groans and continues leaping up.
<SPoC> 6Dias crosse shis arms, holding a smug look like he's the greatest superhero ever
* Jennifer` fixes her shirt as she goes flying up.
<DeathStar> 6* They reach a higher floor, which is as far as they can go
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves and pulls out her card.
<Jennifer`> * Darce waits till they're all up, then sends Myria up after them. "Time to fly Dove."
<Kit> 6Chii moves quickly to cover Zephyr. Stuffs always waiting behind doors!
* SPoC steps onto the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* As Zephyr reaches out, her hand stops moving.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Jennifer`> * Angela steps onto the floor and readies her gun.
<DeathStar> 6* She's thrown into a wall.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances around then eyes Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out from a hallway.
<Marcus`> Well...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out his guns.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Oh there she is. *he smiles*
<SPoC> <Dias> That's gotta be the Erevis. 6He turns around
<Kit> 6Chii quickly tosses down a flashbang and pulls down her shotgun.
<DeathStar> 6* John narrows his eyes. "That bitch."
* SPoC looks over at Erevis, pulling her gun out.
* Jennifer` pulls out a gun and moves to stay behind her Dad.
* SPoC eyes Chii, then quickly covers her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes.
<Kit> 6Chii fires a stun shot from the shotgun.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Come'on Erevis just let us b-Ah son of a bitch, Chii!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her hand so the aim is off - and she shoots Marcus
<Kit> <Chii> Gah, Marcus move!
* Marcus` makes a noise and collapses, being blinded an all.
<SPoC> 6Dias probably loses his vision because of the flashbang.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves forward and runs her hand through the card reader. The door opens up to reveal Alternate Cheryl fighting...Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl snaps her whip out for Ariel's throat.
<Jennifer`> * Darce comes up from behind the rest and glares ar Erevis, he starts to attempt to supress her psionics.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. Darce is suddenly thrown through several walls.
<SPoC> <Dias> GAH I'M BLIND! 6He panics
<DeathStar> 6* John dashes in, throwing a punch at Erevis, who shifts to the side to avoid.
<Kit> <Chii> Xanatos, this building is Cran's. She's protecting Cran. Ariel was killed by Cheryl, I don't feel like a repeat because we need to debate.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes "herself" fighting Ariel.
<Jennifer`> * Darce grumbles as he lands and slouches.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Erevis warily, though, unsure of what to do with her.
<DeathStar> 6* John keeps attacking, forcing the God to dodge.
<Marcus`> * Xanatos steps forward. "Then go do something with Cheryl." He motions, then steps up toward's John and Erevis fighting.
<SPoC> 6Dias punches out and hits the wall. He howls in pain
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Xanatos, glaring, but then softens and nods, turning to run for the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternater Cheryl whips Ariel around the throat, and throws her into a wall
<DeathStar> <Alt Cheryl> I expected more, "Mom".
<Kit> <Chii> Then turn around." 6Aims the shotgun and fires at Alt-Cheryl.
* Ariel slams back, but braces herself. "...you're naieve."
<Jennifer`> * Angela takes a shot at Erevis when she sees an opening.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to move forward, when she runs into Chad Winters.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl begins to pour energy into the whip to zap her
<SPoC> <Chad> Going somewhere? 6He shifts into his stance.
<Myria> ....Theron...what should I do to help...?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl punches out at Chad's face.
* Ariel grabs onto the whip, wincing, and fires a holy blast at AltCheryl
<DeathStar> 6* John dodges and Angela shoots Erevis in the arm.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances around. Waiting. "I am unsure, I do not wish to get in the other's way."
<SPoC> 6Chad steps back, his hand moving up and to knock the punch of to the side
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl slams into a wall, deactivating the whip
<DeathStar> <Alt Cheryl> That's new.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Jennifer`> * Angela takes another shit at Ere while she's wounded.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos lets out a whistle. "I forgot you had that thing in your head."
<Myria> We need to do soemthing though...they are our friends...
<Jennifer`> *SHOT
<Kit> 6Chii slides into the room and poises the shotgun at Alt Cheryl. 1"Lucky. She just fried me."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slides in front of Ariel. "Stop."
<DeathStar> 6* She says to Alternate Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes her bleeding arm.
* Ariel pauses, seeing Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* John punches her in the face. Erevis breaks his arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to kick at Chad's knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Hey umm. Yeah let's not piss her off anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl pulls herself up. "Ah, Zephyr."
<Jennifer`> * Angela fires at her again when John distracts her.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks and shifts the shotgun between Alt Cheryl and Zephyr. 1"uh..."
<DeathStar> 6* John holds his arm, holding it in pain
<Marcus`> <Theron> Then if you see an opening that you may help, do so.
<SPoC> 6Chad shifts his foot as it's kicked, lessening the force. He snaps his right palm out, aiming to hit her in the solar plexus
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reflects Angela's shots so she shoots Theron
<DeathStar> *Erevis
* Myria nods...
<SPoC> 6Dias rubs his eys. 1"I can see again!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stumbles back
<Marcus`> *Theron barely dodges.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl rushes at Zephyr. Zephyr forms her guns and fires, but Alt. Cheryl dodges.
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Lowers the shotgun.
<Kit> <Chii> Hey. Ariel. Get the hell out of here.
* Ariel manifests her armour and moves in front of Zephyr to protect her.
<Myria> That does it... *sends the equivalent of a TK body slam into Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... what are you doing? She'll kill you. Again!
<SPoC> 6Chad moves in, snapping his hands out and aiming for a pressure point in her right shoulder and a nerve cluster in her left side.
<Kit> 6Chii facepalms.
* Jennifer` sticks to her Dad while all this happens, looking for something to do.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blocks with a psionic shield.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves behind C had, and fires into his leg.
<Ariel> "...I can't let you die again...."
<Kit> <Chii> Both of you get out of the way. You're going to get hurt if you both keep trying to cover each other.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos leans in to observe Erevis' arm. "Does it hurt?"
* Myria then redirects her blast down into the floor under Erevis.
<Jennifer`> * Darce takes that moment to attack Erevis at her sheild, attempting once again to disrupt her. "Bitch."
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl forms an energy blast and throws it Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drops.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos stumbles and falls back. "Jesus christ."
<SPoC> 6Chad growls as the shot goes through his leg and blood splatters on the ground. He flicks his left wrist and hurls a blade for Warren's chest.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Good move Dove."
* Ariel manifests her crystal blade and attempts to deflect it.
<DeathStar> 6* The blade shatters and it slams into her armor, cracking it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is hit in the chest and he falls back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves her right leg into Chad's groin
<Kit> 6Chii darts forward, throwing a shuriken at Alt Cheryl and tossing a device along the floor. "Fire in the hole."
<Jennifer`> "Dad!"
<SPoC> 6Dias stomps his feet and he dashes towards Erevis
<Myria> Focus on picking the others off before she can come back into the battle.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl dodges the shurkin
* Jennifer` catches him, helping him steady and not fall flat.
<SPoC> 6Chad slowly turns to face Cheryl, an annoyed look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl headbutts him
<Marcus`> *Theron nods his approval to Myria and holds himself ready to fight someone else, though everyone seems to have things under control.
* Myria glances then sends a TK shot at Chad's crotch.
<Kit> 6Chii continues tossing shurikens along Alt Cheryl's escape path, the device billowing out smoke. 1"Mother-daughter reunion in the lobby please. Go, go!"
<DeathStar> 6* Myria is suddenly stabbed in the back.
<Myria> ACK!
<SPoC> 6Chad's head snaps back and snaps his weight fully back, hurling his knee up towards Cheryls chin
<Marcus`> *Theron whips around.
* Ariel slowly looks to AltCheryl. She reforms the crystal blade in one hand, and her plasma blade in the other. She's not backing off until she knows Zephyr is safe.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stands there, holding a knife.
<Jennifer`> * Darce jerks his head over towards Myria.
<Marcus`> *Theron narrows his eyes. "You will pay for that, sir."
* Myria stumbles forward...
<SPoC> 6Dias leaps and spin kicks at Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's head snaps back
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances Dias and throws him into a wall
<SPoC> 6Dias slams into the wall and slides down it.
<Jennifer`> * Angela turns her gun on Spade. "Cran's cronie..."
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl suddenly dodges forward, missing all of Chii's moves, as if she knows what she's doing
<SPoC> 6Chad twists and pivots on his supporting foot and he kicks out at Cheryl's chest
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We're in trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs his foot with her good hand.
<Marcus`> *Theron dashes forward to punch out at Spade.
<Kit> 6Chii boils. 1"Ariel! You hard-headed, warmongering dity princess. Get the fuck out of here with Zephyr. You're not the only one that'll be depressed!" 6Completely lost focus on fighting.
<SPoC> 6SPoC raises her pistol and aims it at Cran, firing shots at him
* Myria whimpers...
* Jennifer` looks worriedly at her dad.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl throws another blast at Ariel.
<SPoC> NRP: Spade osrry
<DeathStar> 6* Spade dodges the punch, then the shots.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets to his feet slowly.
<Jennifer`> * Darce pulls Myria to him.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head. "Ah yes. You can see what I am about to do. Most interesting."
<SPoC> 6Chad eyes Cheryl then kicks off the ground and brings his other foot towards her face
<SPoC> <Dias> Right...Psychic people bad...
<Kit> <Chii> Stab me again when we get home, I don't care. But listen to me now before you hurt Cheryl again, or I'll kill you myself!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit in the face. She sneers.
* Ariel doesn't hear Zephyr retreating. And as long as Zephyr doesn't move, she can't dodge. So she moves forward, letting the plasma blade disipate as she slams the magnetic field into the energy shot.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos sighs and shakes his head. "Let's not fight Erevis, let's be friends."
<Jennifer`> * Angela fires at Spade's feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shoves Ariel to the side
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade pulls out his guns
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> We can be friends, can't we?
<SPoC> 6Chad lands on his back, still being held on by Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Unlikely.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Why not?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists, aiming to break his foot
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am interested in power. You do not have any.
<Marcus`> *Theron takes a step back and pulls out his katana.
<Kit> 6Chii shifts forward, driving her leg forward along the ground to bring Zephyr back and under the blast.
<SPoC> 6Chad shoves off the ground and twists with her twist. He kicks out at her hand now
<DeathStar> 6* The blast, which continues, hits the wall
<Jennifer`> * Darce starts working on Myria's wound with some of his Atlean nanites.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her dragoon bustah and fires at Alternate Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii spins around and fires the shotgun back at Alt Cheryl.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Oh yeah? Power of the body and mind are interesting things. But I have my own power.
<SPoC> <Dias> That's it. I'm gonna fight someone I know I can fight. 6He begins stomping towards the room Alt. Cheryl's in
<Kit> <Chii> Shorty, get lost or Ariel won't.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cehryl dodges into the shotgun blast.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not leaving.
<Kit> <Chii> Then neither of you will!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
<SPoC> 6SPoC fires more shots at Spade
<Kit> 6Chii leans to the side and fires again, it's on stun, to make sure.
* Ariel charges her crystal blade with holy energy, regaining her footing.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade dives out of the room
<Jennifer`> * Angela readies herself, keeping a calm mind and firing at Spade as he flees.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl dashes in at Ariel.
<SPoC> 6SPoC keeps her gun trained on the room Spade dived into.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> But you won't be my friend, so i'll never get to show it to you. *he frowns*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up at the sounds of battle, about to rejoin it
<Jennifer`> * Angela pulls out a stun grenade and tosses it into that room.
<SPoC> 6Dias breaks into a full sprint towards the epic Alt Cheryl/Ariel battle
<Marcus`> *Xanatos steps forward and plants a kiss on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets Chad go
<Kit> 6Chii quickly laces wire into a kunai and throws it in an arc to try and wind Alt Cheryl.
* Ariel just watches A.Cheryl approach, preparing herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes widen. She shoves into Xanatos. "You dare?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl just dodges Chii without slowing down. She throws a charged energy fist at Ariel.
<Kit> 6Chii stares at Dias begins entering too. 1"Dias, get these two out of here!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes several breaths.
<SPoC> 6Chad slides back and slowly gets up, he shifts his foot slightly, favoring it
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Sorry, couldn't help myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips down at Chad as he shifts.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis narrows her eyes.
* Ariel releasts the holyblast at point blank range.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl punches into the blast.
* Ariel still has the sword pointed at Cheryl as she comes forward.
<SPoC> 6Dias shoves past Chii. 1"RISING MOON!" 6He flip kicks at Alt. Cheryl while she punches
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> You're a being of power, and I like that. I guess we both have something in common.
* Jennifer` sticks to Warren still.
<Kit> 6Chii yanks her kunai back and catches it.
<Kit> <Chii> Are you all fucking morons!?
<SPoC> 6Chad leaps back, sliding on his good foot.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl punches through the sword, breaking it, and is about to hit Ariel, but her damage from the holy blast has injured her, so she is kicked.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws a punch out at Xanatos with her good arm.
<Myria> ...h...how...is it...Mr. Darce...?
<SPoC> 6Dias lands in a squat and kicks off, throwing a hard follow-up punch for her mid-section
<Kit> <Chii> ...Zephyr, if Ariel is out of here, would you get out, too?
* Ariel is... actually surprised. She jumps back a few paces.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Bad, concentrate on healing. The nanites should do the rest."
<Marcus`> *Xanatos snaps his head to the side and then glances back at Erevis. "Does that mean you didn't like it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl grabs Dias' hand.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ahh crap.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will kill you.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl throws him toward Chii
<Myria> ..ok...
<Marcus`> *Theron just stands in front of the Darce and Myria, in defense mode.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims at Alt. Cheryl and fires while she's throwing Dias
* Kit blinks and leaps out of the way, waiting on an answer from Zephyr
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Whoa whoa. There's no reason to kill people.
<Kit> NRP: Chii
* SPoC steps to the side slightly, her eyes and gun focused on where Spade escaped too
<SPoC> 6Dias hits the ground in a roll
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Hold on Dove."
* Ariel watches for ACheryl to dodge and fires a holy blast in her way.
<DeathStar> 6* Alt. Cheryl dodges.
<DeathStar> 6* And gets holy blasted.
<Kit> 6Chii moves around behind Zephyr and toward Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* John suddenly grabs Chad from behind
<SPoC> 6Dias moves back into the room, a look of pure entertainment on his face.
<DeathStar> <John> Hey there.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "...So where's our target in all this... where's that bastard Alexander?"
<SPoC> 6Chad stumbles forward from the kick.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly rams her fist into Chad's stomach while he's held.
<SPoC> 6Chad grimaces from the punch.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos holds up his hands. "Alright, fine. We'll fight, but one condition. You don't use your powers."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We should retreat. More guards will be coming. 6* She fires her dragoon bustah at the wall, blowing an exit hole.
<Kit> 6Chii shifts the shotgun up onto her shoulder, fiddling with her wire and grabbing devices from pouches.
<Jennifer`> * Darce eyes Alt. Cheryl and slowly pulls out a spike.
<Kit> <Chii> I've been saying that all along!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back, distracted from Xan momentarily.
* Ariel nods to Zephyr, but keeps her eyes on ACheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl begins to stand.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pants, out of energy.
* Ariel fires at the ground under Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii slides the devices along the floor, laced by the wire, waiting for them to go to either side of Alt Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes for a knock out bunch
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl leaps up and comes down toward Ariel, whipping down
<SPoC> 6Dias slips his hand into his pocket and he pulls out a smiley face ball and tosses it towards Alt. Cheryl
<Marcus`> *Xanatos shakes his head and then slides back.
<Kit> 6Chii yanks the wire, slamming all her devices into one epicenter beneath Cheryl, setting off three stun grenades.
* Ariel rolls back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... It would seem Alexander has lost.
<Jennifer`> * Darce tosses a dart at Alt Cheryl, arcing it to attack her from a side.
<DeathStar> *Cran
<SPoC> 6The Ball let's out a small concussive explosion
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl gets ganged raped.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos pauses. "Lost?"
<Kit> 6Chii turns and growls at Ariel. 1"Now get out of here!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Chad Winters and Alpha Cheryl have lost.
<DeathStar> 6* John drops Chad and moves for the room with the new exit
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well yeah. They have raw power, but they're lacking.
* Ariel nods and moves to grab Zephyr. She isn't leaving her behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks as she's grabbed.
<Myria> Theron?
<Jennifer`> "Dad... I think we're winning."
<SPoC> <Dias> YEEHAW! 6He punches into the air.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances down over his shoulder. "Yes?"
<SPoC> Let us retreat now. 6She begins backing out of the room to where the new exit is
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires a few stun shots into Chad to make sure he stays down
<Kit> 6Lilith wanders past Xanatos and Erevis. She pauses beside Xanatos, bowing to Erevis.
<Kit> <Lilith> You are very honorable.
<Myria> ...can you help me move...?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<DeathStar> 6* She bows back.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "John, let's go."
<Kit> 6Lilith continues on her way.
<Marcus`> *Theron slides the katana away and moves to help Myria up.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves over, peering down at the long drop to the ground
<Jennifer`> * Darce lifts up Myria and makes his way out.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I got her."
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head. "Very well."
<DeathStar> 6* John holds his broken arm. "How we get down?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds his bleeding chest as he moves to the exit room
* Jennifer` moves with Warren, supporting him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to walk away herself, apparantly done with this fight
<Kit> 6Chii leans down and puts a kunai to the floor, then spins and drops her foot into it, digging it in.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos smiles and moves to leave to the exit room.
<Kit> 6Chii laces wire through it and begins lowering it downward. 1"Quickly."
* Marcus` slowly pulls himself up, rubbing his head. "Who the hell, shot me?" He asks as he steps inside.
<Marcus`> NRP: the exit room.
<Jennifer`> Angie> "Dunno... Chris?" *she taps her earpiece*
<Marcus`> <Kane on Comm> Yes?
* Ariel retreats with Zephyr, as much as she hates to.
<Jennifer`> Angie> "How do we get out of here?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Hate to say it, but the bad Cheryl probably won't stay down for long.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes the rope, then grabs it and slides down
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks in, bleeding and looking as if she can't move well
<Jennifer`> Angie> "Jeez... alright..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. She's a prick anyway.
<Kit> <Chii> I hit her with three stun grenades simultaneous, but you're probably right knowing her.
<Marcus`> <Kane on Comm> Alpha Zephyr's idea is the quickest way.
<Kit> 6Chii grins to Cheryl.
<Jennifer`> * Angie heads down after John. "Following our fearless leader."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses. She suddenly begins to move into the exit room
<Kit> 6Chii braces her foot and grips the other end of the wire between her gloves.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly grabs them all TKly.
<Kit> <Chii> Quickly people.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren jerks.
<Kit> <Chii> Damn it.
<SPoC> <Dias> I personally don't care which way we go. Let's just pick an exit...Ok that's not cool.
<Marcus`> *Xan pauses. "Whoaaa now."
* Jennifer` gacks.
<SPoC> I cannnot move.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws them out all out through the exit hole, but they land with no damage on the ground.
<Jennifer`> "Dad... I-I can't move..."
<DeathStar> 6* John lands on his head, somehow
<Kit> 6Lilith glances back at Erevis. Smiling before landing.
* Jennifer` blinks and looks around as she lands. "Wow."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the entire building explodes.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ...'s
<SPoC> <Dias> ...Now that was just fucking weird.
<Kit> 6Chii yanks her wire and reclaims the kunai.
<Jennifer`> * Angie sighs and helps John up.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances back as the building explodes.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks down at Myria.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos widens his eyes. "....oh god."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what... just happened there...?"
<Kit> <Chii> The fuck. Did they just detonate their own people?
<SPoC> 6Dias stares wided eye. 1"Ok I was wrong. THAT'S just weird.
<Myria> I'm ok...
<DeathStar> 6* John stares at the burning building. "Holy shit."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Told you he was a fucking bastard."
<Kit> <Chii> I take it back. Cran's an ass.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks back, frowning.
<Marcus`> <Theron> This is most troublesome.
<SPoC> I do not understand, but we have more important matters. We should retreat quickly
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, dusting her coat off.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos frowns and glances down.
<Kit> 6Chii glances to Angela. 1"That makes you an adopted ass."
<DeathStar> 6* She looks up sadly at the building.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "What the hell are you talking about?"
* Ariel looks back... she has no words to describe how she feels right now. Besides wounded. Definately wounded.
<Kit> <Chii> Nothing.
<Marcus`> <Kane on Comm> What's going on? Angie, are you alright!?
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Cheryl, then upward. As if a bit put off by the fact the other Cheryl was up there.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Let's get back to base..." *she taps her earpiece* "I'm alright sweetie."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spits blood on the ground at the building, and turns to go
<Marcus`> <Kane on Comm> ...good god, I almost had a heart attack.
<Kit> 6Chii follows Cheryl, calling ahead. 1"So you 'won,' John. Now what? You going to run for President?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "The kids are down, I think the God might be too. Not too sure about the Pet though."
<DeathStar> <John> Eh. Battle's still going. The big man himself is out there.
<Kit> <Chii> ..Pet?
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Cran's right hand, Spade."
* Ariel looks to Zephyr, and hesitates. "...are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks back at Ariel. She also hesitates. "Yes."
<Marcus`> <Kane> Hurry back. Godspeed.
<Kit> 6Chii waves her hand dismissingly. 1"Oh. him."
<Marcus`> *Theron moves to inspect Myria's wound.
<Jennifer`> Angie> "Let's get moving..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slaps the dial home device. "At least this is in one piece." 6* Suddenly, a portal opens up and Freyja falls out of it
* Ariel manages a sad smile, her armour disintigrating. She's wounded, but nothing fatal. "...I'm glad."
<Kit> <Freyja> Well now.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> There she is.
<Kit> 6Freyja stands up and dusts herself off.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...is that supposed to happen?"
* Jennifer` looks over. "Ummm... hey it's Freyja!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm glad. Too. For you.
<Kit> <Freyja> Hiii! ...Geez, you're all injured again.
* Marcus` stands there holding his head.
<DeathStar> 6* The portal closes. Cheryl slaps the device again and a new one opens up
<Marcus`> Well at least slapping it works.
<SPoC> <Dias> Told you hitting it would work.
<Myria> ..is that the way...home?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...does that go home?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I think so.
<Kit> 6Freyja leans forward and glances through.
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja is sucked away.
<Marcus`> God I hope so.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "So this is how you guys travelled?"
<DeathStar> <John> Okay. THAT was weird.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos shakes his head. "She's dumber than I am."
<Kit> <Chii> Eh. She's alive.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well there goes Warren and Xanatos not getting into trouble.
<Kit> 6Chii says it with annoyance, but her tone comes across as relieved.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Psh, I stay in trouble.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I'm going home.
<Kit> <Chii> Hey Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Jennifer.
<Jennifer`> ANgela> "Ummm... thanks for the help I guess."
<Kit> <Chii> Can we go eat now? ...You can just drink if you want.
* SPoC looks over at Zephyr. 1"It was a joy seeing you again." She bows deeply.
* Jennifer` looks at her father.
* Ariel stands awkwardly, not sure what to say.
<Marcus`> See ya Angie. Take it easy John.
<SPoC> 6Dias reaches his hand out to John
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... We'll see. T
<DeathStar> 6* She steps through
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps through with Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, then shakes it.
<Kit> <Chii> Good enough." 6She eyes John. Waiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives SPoC a smile.
<Kit> 6Lilith sighs and moves through the portal.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps in with Darce.
<SPoC> <Dias> Don't die. 6He pats him on the shoulder and moves, leaping through
<Jennifer`> "I'm gonna be in a lot of trouble..."
* SPoC smiles back and then moves through the portal
* Jennifer` clearly doesn't want to lose Warren.
<Marcus`> Yeah, Dias will cry if you do. You know how that goes. *he smirks and mobes through*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Ariel> 6* Raquel follows close behind Lilith
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches them go one by one.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "You can always stay with us and fight in the great rebellion Jenny."
<Kit> <Chii> No place for a kid like her.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Cran will have a bead on her now, she's wanted here."
* Ariel hesitates, wondering if she should ask what she has no right to.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms. 1"Exactly. That's why she should go home, where she can be watched, protected and surveilanced 24/7."
<Kit> <Chii> Home with Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Chii.
* Jennifer` blinks and looks at Chii, then her dad.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos stands there, arms crossed. "Hey Angela, tell Chris that I said to be good and stay out of trouble. God knows I'll bring it too him."
<Ariel> "Zephyr..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts. "LEts go, Jennifer."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks through the portal.
<Jennifer`> "RIght... Dad..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Ariel.
* Jennifer` follows after him. "Hey Angie... tell my mom I love her."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Will do kid..."
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Ariel and Zephyr, then moves up to John. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Chii.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos turns and moves to step through the portal.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's nice to know you're alive out there. Somewhere.
<Kit> <Chii> Katrina, our's, is hurt, too, you know. So..." 6She trails off, looking elsewhere in annoyance.
* Ariel nods slowly, "I... I wish you could come with us..."
<Kit> <Chii> These kind of feelings piss me off.
<DeathStar> 6* John smiles and pats her on the head.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, that's part of being human
<DeathStar> <John> And I use the term loosely.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not hum--" 6She stares.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh. Not bad.
<Jennifer`> * Angela looks at John's arm. "You're gonna be bragging about that for weeks."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes his broken arm
<DeathStar> 6* The portal begins to lose stability
* Ariel steps forward and hugs Zephyr tight. "...I'm proud of you. Keep yourself safe... and maybe one day we can see each other again."
<Kit> <Chii> Well. I'll tell her you said hello, McCormick.
<Jennifer`> Angie> "Better get moving."
<DeathStar> <John> Don't.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't have to. She'll know. She's a bit weird like me, you know.
<DeathStar> <John> Interesting.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs Ariel back. "Maybe."
<Kit> <Chii> I'm weirder.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her head and turns, walking lazily through the portal.
<DeathStar> <John> I'm weirdest. Now scram before you got stuck her and I have to make you my girlfriend.
<DeathStar> *here
<Kit> 6Chii shivers as she passes through.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "We'd better get going ourselves, my boyfriend is going to have an annurism if we stay here much longer."
* Ariel is reluctant to let go, "...fair well. And... I love you, Zephyr. Take care of yourself." She heads towards the portal.
<DeathStar> 6* John puts a hand on Zephyr's shoulder. "You can hang with us." <Zephyr> *she nods* It's nice to know. That she loved me.
<DeathStar> -LOCATION/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.6
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in his office, bandaged up. Somehow he's not in jail.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head. "I missed all that?"
<SPoC> Yes, it is unfortunate.
* Jennifer` sits there quietly, reading a new book.
<Kit> <Freyja> I guess I'll be off. Eventually someone's going to wonder about a group of mice leaving the main building, though.
* Ariel has been quiet since the incident. Not talking with anyone.
<Marcus`> *Theron has insisted that Myria get checked on by a proper doctor.
<Kit> 6Lilith has insisted on her walk.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits alone in her office.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce finishes healing Myria.
<SPoC> You missed seeing yourself in a dress. It was very interesting
<DeathStar> <Drake> Wait, seriously?
<SPoC> No. I am kidding. 6She laughs
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake slumps his shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Drake> You got me.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos glances in on Warren. "You know where to find me. Take it easy." He moves to leav.
<SPoC> I am good. 6She nods
<Kit> <Freyja> I wonder where Chiikun got off to?" 6She turns to peer at Warren and Jennifer, then waves cheerfully. 1"See you."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel is taking her dog for a wa... wait. Lilith isn't a dog any more... well, she doesn't question it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts. To both Freyja and Xan.
<Kit> 6Freyja moves out, blinking at Xanatos.
* Marcus` relaxes in the rec room.
* Jennifer` nods to Freyja, she's been quiet since she got back, probably not sure what to say.
<Marcus`> *Xanatos glances over his shoulder. "Problem?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Nope.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Alright. *he turns and walks off*
<SPoC> 6Dias sticks his head into Cheryl's office, no longer wearing a bandana or a hat. 1"Ya hungry?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Marcus`> <Theron> And she is safe, doctor?
<DeathStar> <Duce> Perfectly.
<Kit> 6She smiles brightly, then moves on, shifting out of the gothic dress and into a casual outfit of capri jeans and a frilly blouse. She pulls her hair up as she walks, pinning it into a bun with locks falling.
<Kit> 6Freyja whistles.
<SPoC> <Dias> So than, hypothetically speaking, had I brought food already..6He looks at her
<Marcus`> <Theron> Thank you very much. *he bows his head and takes Myria out of the medbay.*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<SPoC> You are very gullible Drake. 6She smiles at him
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sighs.
<SPoC> I find it exciting.
<Kit> 6Chii, elsewhere knocks on Katrina's door.
<Myria> That hurt...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door. "Chii?"
<Kit> 6Lilith rattles off, essentially, the prologue of a gear training manual word for word as she walks with Raquel.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Forgive me. I should have reacted quicker.
<Kit> <Chii> Hey. You mind?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. Come on in.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to take it in, but it's a bit technical for her
* Jennifer` turns a page in her book.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh, well I did. 6He opens the door and tosses down a take out box of chinese food.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it.
<Kit> 6Chii moves in and to the side. 1"So I thought we could hang out for the afternoon."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I don't have work to do, so we can.
<SPoC> So tell me Drake. What did you do while we were gone?
<Myria> No...we didn't know he was there...
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. Ate some food. Played some video games.
<SPoC> <Dias> I paid for it. 6He holds his hands up
<Kit> 6Lilith, once finished, begins asking what every technical term that someone living as a weapon wouldn't know.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just shifts it to the side of her desk. "Thanks." 6* She says blandly.
<Jennifer`> "I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up at her.
* Jennifer` looks up from her book.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I have gotten rusty. Before I would have been able to detect such movement.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I... don't know much about machines like that..."
<Jennifer`> "I disobeyed you."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Myria> I'm alive.
<Kit> <Lilith> Neither do I. Hence reading this manual.
<SPoC> <Dias> What ya doing tonight?
<Marcus`> <Theron> No thanks to me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Work.
<Kit> <Chii> Anything you'd like to do?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
<SPoC> <Dias> All night?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> All night, Dias. Take a clue and scram.
<Kit> <Chii> You sure? You taught me to dance last time. Nothing cool like that?
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, right. With this thick skull? 6He points at his head
<Jennifer`> "I didn't think things through, I acted out of worry."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at him humorlessly.
<Myria> Theron...it was battle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances back down at his datapad. "You should have stayed with your home reality. What you did was stupid. And who knows what pain you caused her.":
<Ariel> Raquel> "...are you going to be able to pilot something like that?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, that was more spontaneous.
* Jennifer` nods slowly and looks down at the floor. "I... I know."
<Kit> 6Lilith nods confidently. 1"It is another tool, partially weapon, partially armor. Once in command, it is an extension of myself, no less than an arm or a sword."
<Marcus`> <Theron> A place where I should allow no mistakes. Mistakes lead to death.
<Jennifer`> "I just... I was worried about you."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his datapad. "I don't want to hear that."
<Kit> <Lilith> Lady Raquel, we should begin practicing more seriously together. Anubis is intended to be fully aware with the two of us together in unison.
<Ariel> Raquel> "I... suppose so."
<Jennifer`> "I know you don't." *she says quickly, then thinks about why she knows that*
<Myria> ...people die...
* Marcus` stands up and glances around, then walks off.
<Kit> <Chii> Then let's be spontaneous. Spontaneous is fun.
<Kit> 6Chii leans over and wraps an arm around Katrina's shoulder.
<SPoC> 6Dias let's out a puff of air. 1"The thing about mirrors Cheryl, is there nothing more than a your reflection." 6He taps the doorway. 1"Night Cheryl, if ya need anything give me a call." 6He steps out, shutting the door
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises her eyebrows. "Oh?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...you will rest for the rest of the night. I will check in on you from time to time.
<SPoC> I got to interrogate someone. I am very effective at it.
<Myria> ..ok...
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh? Cool.
<Jennifer`> "Dad... you risked everything just to save my life..."
<Marcus`> *Theron stops at her door.
<Kit> <Chii> Let's go paintball.
<SPoC> Yes, I find the most effective way is to slowly cause pain and increase it's level.
* Myria steps inside her room.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Paintball? 6* She looks surprised
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. I ... see..
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shifts his gaze at her.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm good at shooting things and I've never been to one. Saw some kids doing it.
<Marcus`> *Theron turns and frowns, stepping back down the hallway
<SPoC> I can show you sometime if you would like. 6She looks at him curiously
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. I guess we can try it. I've never done it.
<Jennifer`> "I couldn't just... go home knowing you might lose yours."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh, no, no no. I'm good.
* Marcus` leans against the wall, waiting on Dias it would seem.
<Kit> <Chii> We can pair up against the whole place." 6She gets a smug grin, narrowing her eyes at the wall, as if talking to an audience.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shifts his gaze back at the datapad. It seems he doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at Marcus. 1"What's up?"
<Marcus`> Nottalotta. *he smirks* How's Cheryl?
* Jennifer` looks back down at the floor and sits back, grabbing her book.
<SPoC> <Dias> She's Cheryl. 6He shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Well, let me get properly dressed."
* Jennifer` stands up, fixing her clothes a little. "What do you want for dinner?"
<Marcus`> Tougher on the inside than she on the outisde. *he shakes his head once* Dude, we should go do something fun. Seeing John put me in the mood.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... meatloaf.
<SPoC> 6Dias stares at Marcus oddly, than just takes a step away from him.
<Marcus`> To do something fun. Fucker.
<Jennifer`> "Okay, I'll have to start it now then."
<Jennifer`> "I'll come get you when it's ready."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<SPoC> 6Dias let's out a sigh of relief. 1"Shew, you had me worried there."
<Kit> 6Chii nods. 1"Sure."6 She's dressed in a miniskirt and thigh-highs, but a fishnet shirt with a belly shirt over it. Seems the sleeve was ripped so she just tied it over the shoulder.
<Marcus`> Ha. Ha. You should know better.
<SPoC> <Dias> You'd think that.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the bedroom, leaving the door open
* Jennifer` steps out of the office and sighs, remembering the look on her mother's face. She shakes her head a little and walks toward's Warren's place.
<Kit> 6Chii plays bored, then leans forward.
<Marcus`> But of course, you're a moron, I forget these thing. *he gives him a look and turns to walk for the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his forehead, tosses the datapad down, and pops a vicodin

<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl does weight training
<Kit> 6Chii lurks about, leaning her head in and narrowing her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii. 6* She says without glancing up, as if she knew Chii were there.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? Was that a lucky guess?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her weight up and down a few more times. "Maybe."
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She moves in and rubs the end of her nose, peering away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes the weigh lifting. She's a bit sweaty.
* Jennifer` is now known as Angela
<Kit> <Chii> Still a ways to go?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, I'm done.
<Kit> <Chii> Then I was wondering...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The eat thing.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her head. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets do it. 6* She stands up, still wearing her training outfit, and sweaty.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh?" 6She appears stunned.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets an annoyed look. "Well?"
<Kit> 6Chii smiles... trying to hide it, but does nontheless. 1"Yeah. I have a card, so don't worry about paying."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah yeah. Lead the way.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, then nods, moving out nervously.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows, not bothering to shower.
<Kit> <Chii> I found it so... it's nearby. We'll just walk, alright?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine.
<Kit> 6Chii sulks slightly, the atmosphere so bland. She leads out of the base and down the sidewalk, grumbling.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows along.
<Kit> 6Chii leads them, quite a ways, until they reach civilian things. It's not a great part of town, either, but nontheless she plows into a small, boxy building with dark lighting. It's a jazz club.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances around.
<Kit> 6Chii claims a table in a corner and waves someone over. 1"I'll take a shot of strawberry." 6She admits with a plan face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down, daring anyone to comment on her look. And perhaps her workout training smell.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slouches back in the seat, since no one steps up to do so
<Kit> <Chii> People come here to relax, mostly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> To this music?
<Kit> 6Chii receives her shot of strawberry schnapps. 1"You don't like it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not really.
<Kit> <Chii> I like the rhythym bass. If that prick with the flute or the saxophone kids get up there and play that nonsensical random crap I chase them out."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at her oddly.
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-what?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing. 6* She waves her hand. She then orders their hardest drink
<Kit> 6Chii glances up at the server. 1"I'll take a BLT." 6She peers toward Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just eyes him. "The drink." 6* She repeats.
<Kit> 6The server blinks and panicks, taking the order and shuffling off.
<Kit> <Chii> ...
* Jackieness has left #taw

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances back at Chii
<Kit> 6Chii is staring. Directly at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares back.
<Kit> <Chii> I...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, waiting
<Kit> 6Chii frowns. 1"I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> For?
<Kit> <Chii> Pissing you off so much lately. Ignoring your feelings.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Forget about it."
<Kit> <Chii> I can't.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs. "Forget about it or you'll annoy me. How's that?"
<Kit> <Chii> Tch." 6Downs the strawberry shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers about, proably for her drink
<Kit> 6The server appears to have ninja'd it to her.
<DeathStar> 6* She takes it and drinks it
<Kit> <Chii> There's a reason I was getting pissy.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at her, drinking it all.
<Kit> <Chii> Kat said I should just tell you instead of loafing around.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sets the empty drink now. "Kat did, eh?"
<Kit> 6Chii waves her hand. 1"I don't know how you too get along, but I didn't have anyone else to go to for advice."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fair enough
<Kit> <Chii> With her living off-base now and us going at it so much... I've..." 6Chii narrows her eyes at the empty shot glass and waves the guy over for another. She stalls until it arrives.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You?
<Kit> 6Chii takes the new shot in hand. 1"I've been lonely." 6Downs it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the table now.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her neck, gazing over as her sandwich arrives. She chews on the end of a potato wedge and grumbles. 1"Then I saw Ariel being all gloomy and snapped. I'm still a whelp."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *nods*
<Kit> <Chii> It wasn't right, but it was ticking me off because... I thought it was hurting you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm stupid and hurt you enough on my own. Don't need any help." 6She takes a big chomp into the sandwich, twitching.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm a big girl, Chii. I can handle myself.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes. 1"S-So am I!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Really?
<Kit> 6Chii chokes on her bite of sandwich.
<Kit> 6Then starts to really choke, clutching at the air.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then leans over and slams her hand down on Chii's back
<Kit> 6Chii hacks the bite onto the edge of her plate, wheezing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, a bit concerned, and leans back.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Ugh. Well that was lame.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Big girl, eh?
<Kit> <Chii> Sh-shut up...!" 6She makes a face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grins somewhat. "Bad ol' sandwich get you?"
<Kit> 6Chii toses a fry at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets it land on her face and fall down.
<Kit> 6Chii stares for a moment, then bursts out laughing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... What?
<Kit> 6Chii points to the fry, cackling.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares. She then takes some ice and throws it down Chii's shirt.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks to her feet and spins around. 1"KYA!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "Now that's funny."
<Kit> 6Chii fishes it out and sits, heaving. 1"Meanie."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives the server a look that says "refill or die"
<Kit> 6Chii calls over the server and whispers something to him. He glances at Cheryl and looks nervous on two accounts and rushes off.
<Kit> 6Chii gets a big grin.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hate surprises.
<Kit> <Chii> I hate ice in my shirt. Unless it's foreplay." 6She notes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Consider it foreplay then.
<Kit> 6The server returns, handing Cheryl a shot of something multiple colours. It's flaming. He stands about ten feet away and begins singing happy birthday to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares. She looks like she wants to take offense, probably never having done a birthday thing, or maybe not even having one, but if that's alcohol...
<Kit> 6It causes everyone else in the club to stare at Cheryl, then clap for her, before chanting '1Chug! Chug! Chug!'
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives them all look, then chugs it. While it flames,.
<Kit> 6The server stares, and walks off before they're sued.
<Kit> <Chii> Holy shit, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs her tongue along her lips.
<Kit> <Chii> Frankly I'm not even sure that drink's legal, but damn. You're supposed to blow it out first.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You shouldn't surprise me, then.
<Kit> <Chii> You didn't like it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's got a bit of a kick.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I've debated taking up various drugs to get a buzz faster.
<Kit> <Chii> Isn't that a bad thing?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Probably.
<Kit> <Chii> Why do you want a 'buzz' so often?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who doesn't love a buzz? 6* She says, glancing away.
<Kit> <Chii> It's nice, once in a while. I think it gets a little cumbersome and boring if overdone, though.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, sure. 6* She doesn't sound as if she means it.
<Kit> 6Chii returns to eating her sandwich. 1"Besides, it dulls other things I like."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like that sandwich? 6* She snorts.
* Ari[AWAY] has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah. This, too, actually. Makes the taste bland.
* Ariel has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. If you say so
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl chugs more alcohol she ninja got
<Kit> <Chii> It can make you crochity, too.
<Kit> 6Chii grins at her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I wouldn't know. I'm always that way.
<Kit> <Chii> Not... always." 6She glances off, going back to chewing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts*
<Kit> <Chii> You have moments of that despicable cute nature.
<Kit> <Chii> It's frightening, I assure you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *stares at her*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You tryin' to provoke me?
<Kit> <Chii> Only if you mean into showing that side to me more. Sure. Otherwise...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I meant fist to face.
<Kit> 6She swallows and smiles earnestly. 1"I'm here to relax."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances to the side. "I think I'm going to let Dias fuck me."
<Kit> <Chii> That's okay.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You think so?
<Kit> <Chii> Hey, if Warren doesn't shock him to death, I'll just kill him myself." 6Grin. Grin.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Warren wouldn't care either way. 6* She notes idlely.
<Kit> <Chii> I was kidding. You're not serious, are you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, I'm serious.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks back at Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii gets a deathly pale look.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at her.
<Kit> <Chii> You're really serious?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's getting too...I don't know... lately. I think if he adds me to his list of conquests, he'd ... move on and bug someone else. 6* She shrugs, glancing away.
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Stares. 1"That's... why? He's acting like me, huh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *scratches the side of her face* He's been making comments. And since he typically doesn't interact with said girl after said act, I figure maybe he'll move on.
<Kit> 6Chii scowls. 1"I'd put a couple bullets in him than allow it for that reason."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias is a good guy. And I owe him.
<Kit> <Chii> Okay, non-fatal bullets.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns at Chii. "I mean it. Besides, after it's done, he can go bother someone else and you won't have to be annoyed."
<Kit> 6Chii blinks a few times. 1"Me?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You get annoyed with Dias. I can sense it.
<Kit> <Chii> Probably because him and furface are always making cracks to me, about me, and around me and behind my back. Who wouldn't? Beh.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. So it's not that he talks to me. Okay. I'll tell them to leave you alone.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not a kid or anything.. Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You choke on sandwiches.
<Kit> <Chii> Bah!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She glances at the table, thinking. The bond seems to be working somewhat, because Chii can tell she's thinking hard on something that troubles her.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms. 1"If you want to go lie down for Dias that's not really my business. Don't need my permission, obviously, but I don't think you should do it just because you want him to go away. Like hell I would."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl props her head up with her hand. "It would make things easier, and he's not a bad guy."
<Kit> <Chii> Maybe my idea of the concept is backwards or twisted, but even if it is, I think it's something you do to keep someone around, not drive them away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<Kit> <Chii> Dias isn't... completely stupid. But he's been around you longer than I have, right? I'm sure he figures snapping at him is just your typical lashing. If you're really that annoyed with him you should probably just tell him why.
<Kit> <Chii> Hell, if you do it without biting his head off, he'd probably freak out anyway.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If it was typical Dias behavior, lashing at him would be fine.
<Kit> <Chii> Then that should tell you that this untypical behavior can't be dealt with by using typical methods. He really admires you Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well, that's why I'm going to fuck him.
<Kit> <Chii> They make fun of me for hanging around you, but Dias really does brighten up whenever you're around. I doubt it's his 'typical' passing fancy.
<Kit> 6Chii leans forward, nibbling on another wedge. 1"I think if you do that, you'll find another puppy to take care of."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks some more alcohol
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I doubt it. Men are dogs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But not the kind that want to stay with one bitch
<Kit> <Chii> Then what will you do if I'm right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Shrugs* Something more drastic.
<Kit> <Chii> Such as?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. I'll come to that if it comes up.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Cheryl skeptically. 1"So... this won't bother you?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Kit> <Chii> Sleeping with monkeyboy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. *shrugs* Sex isn't that important on my list of things to care about
<Kit> <Chii> Have you ever minded him being around before?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. He's typically just an annoying kid.
<Kit> <Chii> Is he a friend, too?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs.
<Kit> <Chii> I'd offer to talk to him, you know. But it's not like anyone cares about what I say.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It wouldn't do anything. Like you said. Dias and Marcus just act like immature kids around you
* Seraphna has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<Kit> <Chii> Not always. At least... Marcus doesn't.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs and eats another wedge. 1"Eh, I'll try anyway. I'd still rather have a horrendous training accident than think about that. Ugh."
* Angela has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And why are you against me fucking Dias?
<Kit> <Chii> Er, besides the obvious?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's not that bad looking.
* Kit has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Kitzzzune has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's not that bad looking.
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Kitzzzune> <Chii> I guess not. Maybe I'm just jealous.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, right. Right.
<Kitzzzune> 6Chii eyes Cheryl at that casual reply and huffs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Too bad I don't think giving you sex would run you off, or you might would get some."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sticks out her tongue.
* Angela has joined #taw
<Kitzzzune> 6Chii blinks, reaching out to flick at the tongue. 1"You want to run me off?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nah. 6* She glances around for the server.
<Kitzzzune> 6He appears like a whipped dog.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> More.
<Kitzzzune> 6He pulls one from behind himself and hands it to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks it.
<Kitzzzune> 6Then sets a second down and runs off.
<Kitzzzune> 6Chii eyes the server disapprovingly then, peers at Cheryl. 1"I'm glad."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs the second one and downs it. "Good."

<DS[Gone]> Stardate: 10-588.7.8
* Kit is now known as Chii
<DS[Gone]> Location: HQ
* Marcus` walks down the hallway, probably just got finished doing something fun and exciting, or just plain boring, who knows.
<Chii> 6Chii attends to her usual habits since her pissy mood seems to have ended the previous night. She combos on a punching bag in one of the training rooms to the beat of Raging Fuzz.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Drake sits in the rec room, sleeping
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sleeps, oddly enough, flopped against Drake.
* Marcus` glances in at the training room, he squints up his face. "What the-" He pauses when he realizes that Chii probably can't hear him. He rubs his chin.
<Dias`> 6SPoC sits off to their side, drawing the two.
<Chii> 6Lilith stands on their other side, peering blankly at Raquel and Drake.
<Chii> <Lilith> Peculiar.
<Marcus`> CHII!
* Chii makes no mention of noticing the shout, spinning to slam her elbow into the back, then her wrist, knuckles, driving her knee around into it, then leaping and kicking it in a backflip with the other, turning to slam her other fist into it, bouncing it off the ceiling. She dodges it's return, twisting to turn sideways and drive her heel into the second pass.
* Marcus` tilts his head and moves to turn the music off.
<Chii> 6Chii's wearing her headphones.
* Marcus` slowly reaches up and pulls the headphones off.
* Chii shifts quickly and sends her first for Marcus' face.
<Chii> Huh, Marcus?
* DS[Gone] is now known as DeathStar
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sleeps peacefully, unaware of the audience
<Dias`> 6SPoC continues to drawt he two.
* Chii halts her hand less than few hair widths from actually hitting him, as if broken out of a trance.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Chii-Chii you scared me."
<Chii> Tch. As if.
* Chii relaxes and moves back a step, putting the striking hand to rest on her hip. She eases up in expression considerably.1"What's up?"
<Marcus`> I dunno. I'm bored.
<Chii> Oh. Sorry to hear that.
* Chii stares for a moment. 1"Wait, so you came to me?" 6Blinks.
<Marcus`> Weeeeelll. I'm bored. *he repeats as if that should clarify*
<Chii> Oh. I get it. Everyone else is busy.
* Chii sighs and narrows her eyes at Marcus.
* Marcus` smiles widely. "Or maybe I'm saying that so you won't feel special."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake opens his eyes, yawning. He glances at Raquel, a sleepy smile on his face. He then pauses awkwardly at the audience.
<Chii> A visit from you? Who would?
<Chii> 6Lilith stares at Drake silently.
<Dias`> <SPoC> Please do not move. I have not finished yet.
<DeathStar> <Drake> ...
<Marcus`> Ouch. Well if you think that way of me. *he hangs his head and turns to move on*
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sleeps
<Chii> <Lilith> I was not aware you preferred Lady Raquel.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Come again? 6* He double blinks.
<Dias`> <SPoC> I asked you not to move.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Sorry.
<Chii> 6Lilith gestures to Raquel sleeping against him.
<Chii> Eh, I don't mind. But I don't feel special or whatever.
* Chii turns and slams her fist into the bag, it doesn't move at all despite the reverberating sound
<Marcus`> Oh well you just haven't found that person yet, right? *he turns to face her*
* Chii turns and punches it with her other hand, it not moving again despite the crack. 1"Eh? What do you mean?"
<Marcus`> People always said that the one person for you makes you feel all sorts of special or something, right?
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh? This? We were just hanging out. I think. I think it was a movie.
<Dias`> 6SPoC frowns and puts her drawing down, crossing her arms
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses awkwardly.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Sorry.
<Chii> I guess. But you don't see me proposing to Cheryl.
* Chii rubs her chin. 1"Or Katrina."
* Chii spins and kicks the bag, apparently the not moving the bag thing is part of her routine.
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? You into Katrina again? Or you never stop?
<Chii> Eh? She makes me feel 'special' as you put it. I don't know what you mean, otherwise.
* Chii punches the bag again, but it moves slightly. She frowns and backs off.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes SPoC nervously.
<Marcus`> Man, I really don't get to hang out with her much anymore. Last we both did was the last time I did, or wait, it was the day after that.
<Chii> <Chii> Huh. We paintballed the other day. Want to go next time?
<Dias`> 6SPoC stares back at Drake
<DeathStar> <Drake> You done?
<Chii> <Lilith> I wonder if my sessions are too hard on Lady Raquel.
<DeathStar> <Drake> The Anubis training?
<Chii> 6Lilith nods slowly.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Probably a bit. But if you even it out with other things, I think it would be fine. You know. Fun things.
<Chii> <Lilith> ...I will consider this. Children in this age lack the determination of my age, however, there is... no need to be as harsh, I suppose.
<Chii> 6Lilith shifts her eyes onto Drake again. 1"This movie. Lady Raquel enjoyed it?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> I don't think it's a lack of determination, Lilith. Raquel's very devoted to things her age. I mean, she works here, after all."
<DeathStar> *for her
<Marcus`> It's alright, I understand that hanging out with Kat is something that is more fun if done alone, having a third person is kinda lame sometimes.
<DeathStar> <Drake> And yeah, I think so.
<Chii> 6Lilith stares. 1"I grew up in wars."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Then you should know that balance is important.
<Dias`> <SPoC> I will have to be, you will not stop fidgeting.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Hey, I got a great idea. And it's good exercise for the body. Swimming. It's perfect weather. We have beautiful beaches.
<Dias`> 6SPoC tilts her head
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm just saying. I think it's important to make good memories with those you're with while you have time. You never know when it's the last chance you'll get. 6* He glances off to the side.
<Chii> <Lilith> I heard that phrase often from soon-to-die allies. However, you are correct, Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake studies Lilith, then just nods.
<Chii> That's not really what I meant, Marcus. If I feel like being alone, I'll be alone.
<Dias`> <SPoC> I do not recall if I've ever been to a beach before.
<Marcus`> Alone with Kat is different than the alone you're talking about. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> <Drake> Then I think we should al lgo.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Maybe when Raquel wakes up, we'll toss the idea at her.
<Dias`> 6SPoC get's up and moves over to Raquel and leans in close. 1"WAKE UP RAQUEL."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake winces.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel falls out of her seat
<Dias`> 6SPoC stands upright now. 1"She is awake now."
<DeathStar> <Drake> ... Yeah. Probably with ear damage.
* Chii turns and leans toward Marcus scowling. 1"Hey, I'm not stupid."
<Chii> I'm saying if I want to be alone with Kat, I won't invite you.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake leans over to check on her.
<Dias`> <SPoC> I do not believe so. I have shot guns off by people's ear's during interrogation and they do not lose anything.
<Chii> 6Lilith inclines her head at the fallen Raquel.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what's... going on..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake gives her a smile. "We were talking about going to the beach. Up for it?>"
Session Close: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 2008

Session Start: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #taw
<Marcus`> Oh ho ho. But what if I show up? Stalk you around and all that?
* Chii blinks. 1"I'd kill you."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...the... beach?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Swimming at the beach.
<Chii> <Lilith> Yes, Lady Raquel.
<Marcus`> HAH! Like you could shrimp. Hey, maybe you could sneeze on me and i'd die that way.
* Chii stares a little while, then leans back, sighing.
<Chii> What, you want to go a round?
<Marcus`> Sorry Chii-Chii. I don't beat on itty bitty girls.
* Chii narrows her eyes and turns, kicking the punching bag at Marcus.
* Marcus` hops to the side, laughing. "Oh, someone has a temper."
* Chii swings around and kicks it with her other foot, changing its direction.
* Marcus` jumps straight back, laughing still. "Chii-Chii, you're so mean to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in front of a chess board, eyeing the pieces. He's apparantly in the mess hall, playing chess with himself.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps up and peers down at the chess board.
<Chii> 6Chii leans forward, slamming her fist into the bag. It doesn't move, but a wave of harmless air would fluff against Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves a white biship.
* Marcus` makes spitting sounds.
<Chii> Hmm. You are good for focusing anger and frustration.
<Chii> A target always brings out the best of that.
<Marcus`> Well that wasn't cool. I'm going to be tasting fluff for a month.
* Chii holds the bag, musing. 1"Fluff?"
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head, confused as to who Warren is playing with.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there now, doing nothing.,
<Ariel> 6* Raquel yawns and stretches, "Oh... I thought... no, that's cats..." 6She smiles softly, "That sounds fun..."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Did your opponent go to the restroom?
* Marcus` wipes at his mouth. "I think there was dirt on that thing."
<Chii> <Lilith> Very well. We should go.
<Chii> Sorry.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
* Chii eyes the bag, then Marcus. 1"Hey, can you do that?"
<Marcus`> Do...what?
<Chii> <Chii> Kinetic transfer.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake smiles. "I'll go get a shuttle signed to us." 6* He moves off.
<Marcus`> If by using the kinetic energy of my punches to transfer a certain amount of force into an enemy...then...
<Chii> <Chii> Basically.
<Marcus`> No. But I can hit really hard. *he gives her a thumbs up*
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gets up and wanders towards her room to get her things.
* Chii gives a disgusted look. 1"The concept can be applied to channeling and the use of spiritual energy, so I practiced with it a lot. It's useful to a dunce like you, though."
<Chii> What with all the doors we encounter and armoured things... if you can transfer the force of an impact to the other side, well...
<Marcus`> Chii, you probably don't know this about me.
<Chii> No, probably not, since you haven't said anything.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there silently, then moves a black pawn.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren studies the move. He responds with his own move.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake finishes signing out the shuttle.
<Marcus`> I have no talent. I'm not gifted at anything.
<Chii> Hrmph. What a lie.
<Marcus`> No, it's really true.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there, his face wracked in thought. Eventually does a move on his own.
<Chii> Maybe your gift isn't fighting, even if you enjoy it.
<Marcus`> Everything in my life that I have any skill in, came from alot of hard work. But i'm not so talented that I can just pick stuff up. It's kinda lame sometimes. It's why I still can't beat that motherfucking gear sim. Even though it is the basic combat one.
<Chii> Need help?
<Marcus`> No, no. I'll get it. Just takes time. Time and patience. And damn do I really not have patience anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps into the training room, rubbing the back of his head. "We're doing to the beach soon, Chii. Want to come?"
* Chii gazes over at Drake, then to Marcus, then to Drake. 1"Eh, that sounds interesting, I guess."
* Marcus` tilts his head and eyes Drake.
<Chii> So Marcus, if you don't have any patience, you can't deal with the gear stuff right now. Why don't you go to the beach?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances at Marcus.
<Marcus`> Because I wasn't invited.
<Chii> I'm inviting you.
<Marcus`> Well you see. Drake invited you, which means that he may only want certain people to be there. I wouldn't want to be rude or anything. I mean, sure I am rude alot, but not this time.
<DeathStar> <Drake> If she's invited you, come along. It's a group thing
<DeathStar> 6* Drake gives a smile and steps out
<Chii> It's a beach so there's plenty of room. Besides, if he doesn't like it, I'll beat him up and that makes room for one.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sits on the shuttle with her bag, because she cheats and teleports.
* Chii hooks her hands in her shorts. 1"I'm inviting you, so get ready, god damn it."
<Marcus`> Oooh. I could watch that. *he pulls his arms behind his head and walks out to follow Drake*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks along toward the hanger.
<Chii> 6Lilith arrives some time after Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake enters the hanger and moves up the shuttle, sitting in the back, propping his legs up.
* Chii makes a stop by her room to get something, then stops by Cheryl's office, knocking.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl responds by not saying anything. Less people bother her
* Marcus` grabs his trunks and throws them over his shoulder as he mvoes on to the hanger.
<Chii> <Chii> We're going to the beach, so, ...see you, if you don't want to come./
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Have fun. 6* She says in a way that indicates that she's not really interested.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...so... who's flying?"
<Chii> Damn. And here I was bringing a second swimsuit.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I can't.
* Chii waves to the door. 1"Con you another time, Cheryl."
* Marcus` stands at the base of the ramp. "Well don't look at me." He sits down.
* Dias` is now known as SPoC
* SPoC steps into the hanger, wearing a white tank top and army pants.
<Chii> 6Chii enters the hangar and steps up the ramp. 1"What's the hold up?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Waiting for someone to volunteer to fly.
<Chii> <Lilith> If no one else will, I will.
<Marcus`> Whoa. CAN you?
<Chii> <Lilith> Simulators are useful.
<SPoC> I will fly us.
* Marcus` eyes SPoC. "CAN you?
<Chii> 6Lilith eyes SPoC and moves aside.
<SPoC> I am sure I have flown before. 6She sits in the pilots seat and studies the controls.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head awkwardly.
<Marcus`> ...I think I want to stay.
<Ariel> Raquel> "..." *looks to Drake worriedly*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake peers at the lowered ramp, as if debating escape.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sinks back into her seat
* Marcus` creeps towards the ramp.
<SPoC> Yes, I can fly this. 6She powers it up and closes the ramp
* Marcus` stares at the ramp closing in front of him and frowns, glancing over his shoulder.
* SPoC lifts the shuttle up and takes it out. 1"I require the directions.
<Marcus`> Go towards water.
* SPoC turns the shuttle and moves off towards the nearest body of water
<Chii> Should make sure it has an landing zone. That's LZ for you, SPoC.
<SPoC> I am well aware what a landing zone is.
<Chii> 6Lilith stares at Raquel, and protecticely hugging her.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel worries
<DeathStar> 6* Drake leans back, apparantly going to sleep if he's going to die
* Marcus` grabs onto Chii, seems he is actually scared.
<Chii> 6Chii turns her head slowly toward Marcus. 1"Want to realyl die?"
* Marcus` pauses and lets go. "Ass."
<Chii> No, you can't touch that either.
* Chii moves to occupy the copilot seat.
* SPoC lands the shuttle inbetween two parked cars at a beach. She lowers the ramp.
<Chii> Nice landing.
* Marcus` taps his chin, then runs off of the shuttle.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes a deep breath, then undoes the two safety harnesses fastened over her.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake yawns and stands up.
<Chii> 6Chii follows Marcus lazily, Lilith nodding to Raquel and vacating the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks off.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gets her bag and hurries after.
* SPoC gets up and moves down the ramp
* Marcus` tilts his head to find a place he can change.
* Chii slinks down to the beach and moves across the sand, stopping to stretch fully.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pulls off his shirt and, already wearing shorts, sits down on the beach.
<Chii> 6Chii ends her stretch by yanking off her shirt and pulling down her shorts.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks around, "...we didn't bring an umbrella."
* Marcus` pauses to stare at Chii.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. No, no we didn't.
* Chii turns, peering at Raquel. She apparently put on a string bikini when she stopped by her room. It's an ash colour faded to green in a gradient. Probably picked out to contrast her pale colours.
* SPoC sits down beside Drake. She stares out at the water.
* Marcus` whistles at Chii and moves to walk off to change someplace, not being on Dias levels of modesty yet.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel wanders off to find some place to strip.
* Chii inclines her head at Marcus boredly, then waves her hand at Drake and Raquel. 1"Of course you'd forget." 1She rummages in her fallen clothes and pulls out a tube. She pops the cap off and yanks an item out, extending it twice and opening it into an unfolding umbrella.
* Chii plants it into the sand. Apparently it's bamboo. 1"Freyja'd bitch her head off if I forgot it."
* Marcus` moves back in his shorts, looking buff and all that. "Yeah well then we should leave it on purpose, right?"
<Chii> I mean if I forgot to bring it. Why do you think we're light-skinned? It's not just because we're freaks.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel comes back in a few minutes, wearing a black one piece. Hey... she's not even jailbait yet. What else would she wear?
<SPoC> This is a beach. 6She looks over at Drake.
<Marcus`> Right, right. Guess you better lather up with lotion then.
<Chii> ... ... ...
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yep.
* Chii frowns and crosses her arms.
<Marcus`> What? You want to get burnt?
<Chii> ...I didn't bring any.
<Chii> 6Lilith greets Raquel's return. In malamute form. She barks.
* Marcus` pauses and starts laughing. "If you burn i'm totally calling you Lobster Girl.
* Chii huffs and sits under the umbrella's shade.
* Marcus` plops down beside her, partially under the umbrella. "What? You really scared of the sun?"
<SPoC> They are interesting.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, blinking at Lilith.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nods.
<Chii> I'm not scared of the sun. Being sunburnt sucks.
* Audrey is now known as Angela
<Chii> 6Lilith presents a frisbee.
<Marcus`> Well, ask one of them. *he motions to the others*
* SPoC leans forward and drags her finger through the sand. Making an intricate design
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles softly, taking the freebie. She... didn't expect this. At all.
<Chii> 6Lilith hops away a bit, then turns, poising, her eyes narrowing at the frisbee.
<Chii> Eh, too much trouble.
<Marcus`> And huddled up under this umbrella isn't?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and aims the frizbie towards an empty stretch of beach... and throws!
* Chii defiantly turns and falls into the shaded sand on her side.
<Marcus`> Very stubborn of you Chii-Chii. You just lost cool points.
<Chii> 6Lilith turns and dashes for it, snatching it out of the air with ferocious efficiency. She trots back to Raquel and presents it.
<Chii> Whatever. If they have some, it's theirs.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel giggles, kneeling to scratch Lilith behind the ear. "...good catch."
<Marcus`> Friends share Chii-Chii. You know what sharing it, don't you?
<Chii> I shared everything I had. Literally. For thousands of years, Marcus. Hrmph.
<Marcus`> Yeah but she wasn't really your friend, not like a friend is supposed to be.
<Chii> 6Lilith closes her eyes and nudges against Raquel, then tuts the frisbee into the sand, barking.
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods and gives Lilith a hug, before collecting the frizbee. "...alright, I get it. You want to play." 6She throws the disc again, further this time.
<Chii> 6Lilith dances across the sand, kicking it up lightly as she stalks down the plastic and brings it back in record time. She pants though. Malamutes in sunny weather. Phew.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles, but sees that Lilith is having a bit of trouble with the heat. She takes the frizbee to throw again... but 'accidently' puts a bit of spin on it so it goes out into the water.
<Chii> 6Lilith gives chase, then slides to a halt at the edge of the water. Apparently reluctant. She gives in and hops in, paddling to the frisbee and retrieving it, heading back for the shore and shakes off, spraying Chii and Marcus.
<Chii> 6Lilith trots back to Raquel.
<Chii> ...
* Chii stares. 1"...That bitch."
<Marcus`> Well she is, literally...kinda.
* Marcus` is now known as Xanatos
<Ariel> 6* Raquel grins, "...have a nice swim?"
<Chii> 6Lilith tilts her head, dropping the frisbee. She shakes again, putting off a mist on Raquel.
<Chii> Well. It feels nice with the breeze anyway...
<SPoC> I am going to explore. 6She stands up and walks off. Leaving a drawing in the sand of somebody.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel jumps back, "H-hey!"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake peers at it. He was practically told to, after all.
<SPoC> 6It's a rough drawing of a man.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel carefully retrieves the frizbee, "...you looked hot. It's not like I could get you an icecream."
<Chii> 6Lilith shifts back to her humanoid form. Clotheless. Pouncing Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake coughs.
<Xanatos> *Marcus slowly raises to eye that.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks around to see if they're drawing attention
<Ariel> 6* Raquel eeps! She was not expecting to be pounced on by a wet, naked, girl.
<Chii> 6Lilith stares down at Raquel blankly; Dripping on her. She wags her tail.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks up at Lilith, speaking quietly, "...we... really need to get you clothes that will stay with you, if you're going to do that..."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head awkwardly. He throws his shirt toward Lilith
* Chii stares for a while, then grumbles. 1"I brought two."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No you didn't. *he quickly tells Chii*
* Chii looks over her shoulder and raises an eyebrow at Marcus. 1"I didn't?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nah. *he waves a hand, then pauses at the shirt being thrown and just lays back down, sighing*
<Chii> 6Lilith dons the shirt, sitting over Raquel still.
<Chii> <Lilith> It is too warm in that form.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake keeps his eyes adverted from Lilith
<Chii> 6Her tail wags, holding up the back of the shirt and all.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah the tail totally turns me off. *he notes with a shake of his head*
<Chii> Oh, so that was it.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, "That's... a lot of fur." 6She ponders, "...that's the only other form you can take?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That was what?
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<Chii> <Lilith> What do you mean, Lady Raquel?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...is it possible to take a form with less fur?"
<Chii> <Lilith> This one.
* SPoC is now known as Chad`WhiskedAway
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you wouldn't chase a frizbee like that."
<Chii> <Lilith> If you wish me to, I would obey.
* Chii rubs her forehead. 1"She would."
<Marcus`> <Marcus> You're crepping me out, Chii-Chii.
<Ariel> Raquel> *pauses... she thought that part of Lilith was gone?* "No... it's not that. But... it was fun to play like that."
<Marcus`> NRP: creeping*
<Chii> Why?
* Chii stares back at Marcus again.
<Chii> <Lilith> Then perhaps when it is cooler we will again."
<Marcus`> <Marcus> You just keep making comments about them. It's weird. I mean, they're weird, but making the comments is weirder.
<Chii> I'm bored. Got a problem with that?
<Marcus`> <Marcus> We could make out, you know, to pass the time.
<Chii> You really do want to die.
<Ariel> Raquel> *nods* "...would you like to get an icecream?" *pauses* "...after you get some clothes?"
<Marcus`> <Marcus> What? You really don't wanna make out?"
* Chii twitches slightly at Marcus. 1"You're weird, too."
<Chii> <Lilith> I do not have clues, however, I would enjoy ice cream.
<Chii> 6She wags her tail quickly. 1"Lady Raquel, do you have clothes?"
<Marcus`> <Marcus> And you didn't answer my question, Chii-Chii.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses. "...not that would fit you properly."
<Chii> <Lilith> Why not?" 6Her head tilts again.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, "...because I keep forgetting you can change your age."
<Chii> 6Lilith smiles at Raquel.
<Chii> No. I don't feel like making out with you, furball.
<Chii> Reminds me of something else annoying me.
<Marcus`> <Marcus> FURBALL!? Well I wouldn't make out with a soulsucking thing such as yourself anyway. *he hmphs and stands up, walking out to go swimming.*
<Chii> That was easy.
* Chii turns and stretches out on her back.
* Marcus` swims like a professional rock.
* Chii sits up, grabbing her feet. 1"The hell?"
* Marcus` is gone'd from sight!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel digs her clothes out of her bag and offers them, and a towel, to Lilith.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake, who has his eyes closed, sees nothing
* Chii stands slowly and twists. 1"That son of a bitch." 6Moves for the water.
<Chii> 6Lilith gazes at them, seemingly pleased and shrinks to around Raquel's age, shaking off like a dog would, then donning Raquel's clothing.
* Marcus` is dead?
* Chii sighs and leans forward, performing a typical arc dive in, peering around for a dead Marcus.
* Marcus` comes out of the water downshore, digging at his ear, apparently getting water out of it.
* Chii swims around for a while, holding her breath an amazingly long term before surfacing. 1"...Where the fuck'd he go?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hugs Lilith, then starts to drag her off to the refreshment stand
* Marcus` sits on the beach out from where Chii is, he tilts his head. "You lose some nice looking guy?"
<Chii> 6Lilith walks alongside Raquel, less awkward having had practice in this form with junior high.
* Chii wades around and gazes at Marcus, her eyes narrowing. 1"You prick."
<Marcus`> What? I went swimming.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...do you have a favorite flavor?"
* Chii strokes her way out of the deep and steps out, dripping. She moves for the umbrella, pausing before Marcus.
<Chii> <Lilith> ..." 6She ponders, then nods. 1"Seasalt."
<Ariel> Raquel> *pauses* "...seasalt icecream?"
<Chii> <Lilith> Yes.
* Marcus` wiggles his eyebrows. "The wet look suits you Chii-Chii."
* Chii kicks sand at Marcus.
<Ariel> Raquel> "I... don't know if they have that flavor..."
<Chii> 6Lilith peers downward. 1"Very well. Lemon."
* Marcus` acks and spits, then grabs Chii by the legs and tosses her back out into the water.
* Chii jerks, breathing a silent protest before splashing into the ocean. She surfaces. 1"...Prick."
<Marcus`> YOU KICKED SAND IN MY EYE! *it's apparent that his eyes are red and irratated*
* Chii mumbles quietly. 1"You worried me. Even." 6Then treads back out again, putting a hand on her hip.
<Marcus`> My eye...*he pouts*
<Chii> Saltwater helps." 6Goes and flops onto her back beneath the umbrella again.
<Marcus`> Ha ha ha. Trying to put salt in my wounds. Very evil of you, Chii.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gets Lilith a lemon sherbert, and herself a lime one.
* Chii smirks slightly.
<Chii> 6Lilith seems ecstatic enough. She digs into the ice cream without the use of the spoon.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel giggles and licks slowly at her own cone. "...maybe I should have gotten you a triple."
<Chii> <Lilith> No, this is more than enough from Lady Raquel.
* Marcus` digs at his eye as he crawls back under the umbrella he sighs. "You suck."
<Chii> Do I? Just how would you know?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles, "...I can afford to buy you an icecream cone on my wage."
<Marcus`> You. Put sand in my eye, my eye. I need that thing. You totally suck. Eggs or something weird like that.
<Chii> <Lilith> Lady Raquel is too kind. I must double my efforts.
* Chii eyes Marcus. 1"Oh, that. I was thinking something else."
<Marcus`> Well obviously you don't suck in that perverted way. I mean, you're practically a saint in that area.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel giggles and shakes her head, "...it's icecream Lilith."
<Chii> Tch. Whatever...
<Marcus`> I mean, hey. You wanna prove me wrong, be my guest. But I think you're too good for that.
<Chii> Yeah, apparently I like eggs.
<Chii> Go flush your eyes with freshwater from the sinks up on the hill, dumbass, otherwise the grains and salt will irritate it further and swell.
<Marcus`> Aw Chii. You're so nice when you care. *he swoons and gets up to go do just that*
* Chii leans back, twitching at the underside of the umbrella. 1"Bastard."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake plops down by Chii
<Chii> Huh?" 6Turns slightly to peer at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nods at her, glancing out at the ocean
<Chii> <Lilith> Kindness comes in all forms and should be treasured." 6She nods.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, "...you're kind to me already Lilith."
<Chii> <Lilith> ...Am I?" 6Her head tilts.
* Chii huffs and leans back, closing her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake relaxes beside Chii
* Marcus` comes back and pauses. "Whoa whoa. Did you replace me, Chii-Chii?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. You two were hanging out? 6* He asks.
<Chii> <Chii> Why, is there another dog beside me?
<Marcus`> Man, I can't believe you're breaking up with me Chii. *he hangs his head and walks off*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head awkwardly. "I can go."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, "You... try your best to look out for me."
<Chii> If you leave, I'll kill you.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pales.
<Chii> <Lilith> Mh. It is the duty I wish to fulfill.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh...
<Chii> Hm?
<DeathStar> <Drake> Why would you kill me?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles a little, "I'm glad I found you..."
<Chii> I wouldn't. You're too uptight.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Oh. *sighs in relief*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake peers toward the direction of Lilith and Raquel.
<Chii> 6Lilith ravenously finishes off her ice cream without mercy.
* Marcus` sits down by himself away from the others, he pauses and starts playing in the sand.
<DeathStar> 6* Sand is dumped on Marcus' head
* Marcus` acks and flails and jerks to stand up. "Damnit Chii."
<DeathStar> <Billy> That's rude.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands there, wearing a two piece bikini
* Marcus` pauses and then smiles. "Hey Billy. You're looking as mischevious as ever."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares at him. Apparantly she's waiting for an apology.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...is that... Billy?"
<Marcus`> Oh, right. Um. Sorry I called you Chii. Cause we both know that Chii is icky.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're forgiven
<Marcus`> But fuck you for putting sand on my head, you jerk. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks stunned, then her eyes begin to water.
<Marcus`> Oh come'on Bills, don't go with the waterworks.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to do that breathing sound people do when they're crying
<Marcus`> Oh god. Oh god, she can't breathe. *he moves to pat her on the back awkwardly*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy bawls loudly. People turn to stare at Marcus
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stomps over and stares at Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances at Chii. "Enjoying the beach?"
<Chii> Yeah. I am.
<Chii> 6Lilith follows Raquel, coming upon the scene. She gives her usual emotionless stare despite de-aging. 1"You are disturbing Mistress Billy."
* Marcus` sighs. "You win, Billy."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy calms down some. "I-I'm not a jerk?"
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm glad to hear that
<Marcus`> Nah of course not. Maybe i'm the jerk for calling you a jerk.
* Marcus` glances up and smiles at the two glares he is getting from Raquel and Lilith.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns to give Raquel and Lilith and smiles. "Hi!"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles now, "Hi Billy." 6She eyes the other girl's bathing suit, and pouts some. Until she remembers she's supposed to be smiling, and stops.
<Chii> <Lilith> Hello Mistress Billy." 6She bows pollitely.
<Marcus`> So, Bills. Your momma's know you're out wearing a skimpy piece of string like that?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy undigs a suitcase and opens it, holding up a two piece that would fit Raquel.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Who? 6* She asks Marcus innocently.
<Marcus`> Momma Cassandra and Momma Setsuna.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes it, and considers. Also taking a moment to glance at Lilith, who has no bathing suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy offers Lilith a nice, small bikini
<DeathStar> <Billy> Who? 6* She asks Marcus innocently.
<Marcus`> Oh ho ho ho. You're aweseome, Billy.
<Chii> 6Lilith stares at the bikini, then glances at Raquel.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gives Lilith a small smile, "...you might want to be older if you're going to wear that."
<Chii> <Lilith> Age matters to this clothing?
* Marcus` shifts and lays back to relax, looking like a pedophile
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers down at Marcus
<Chii> 6Lilith begins slipping on the bikini either way.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy watches without adverting her eyes.
* Marcus` smiles at Billy. "You've been getting into trouble, I hope."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, "...I guess... not really... but..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy just gives Marcus her cute smile.
<Chii> <Lilith> But?" 6She peers at Raquel, tugging at the looseness. She adjusts the ties.
* Marcus` pauses. "Pssst. Billy. We should bury Drake when he falls asleep."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake remains oblivious to his fatge.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at Marcus. "You want to bury a mentally unbalanced guy with a sword?"
<Marcus`> You don't?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy just ... pats Marcus on the head
* Marcus` frowns. "Well fine, i'll just lay here." stretches his arms up behind his head.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'll be right behind you. 6* She promises.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...it looks better on older girls."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at her own body now.
<Marcus`> So Billy. You've missed hanging out with me right? Admit it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Not really.
<Chii> 6Lilith taps her lip, then as if to appease Raquel, shifts to her older form, wincing as the size she adjusted the swimsuit to becomes tight.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel winces, and quickly helps Lilith adjust her suit.
* Marcus` frowns. "Aw Bill that really hurts my feelings. I missed hanging out with you."
<DeathStar> <Billy> No, you can't have sex with me, Marcus.
<Marcus`> Yeah like I would go to jail for that. *he just makes a hah sound*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at Marcus coldly.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Oh I wasn't being serious. I'd totally go to jail for you, honest."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hrmphs and walks off.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...it does look better."
<Marcus`> ....Oh damnit.
<DeathStar> -END-
<Chii> 6Lilith peers down at herself, then stares at Raquel blankly. 1"If Lady Raquel believes so. Mistress Billy is escaping."

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080302.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.9
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Drake plays a video game console in the rec room.
<Xanatos> *Marcus stands behind him watching him, perhaps evaluating his skill.
<DeathStar> 6* He's not very good. His reactions are delayed a lot.
* Chii stands behind Marcus, also evaluating. 1"...What kind of game is... this?"
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be an action game!
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Looks like you just hit those buttons alot and that guy does all that crap ont he screen. *he snaps his fingers by Drake's head, couting to see how long it takes before he responds.*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake blinks and looks at Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Adnd dies in the game.
<Chii> Eh. I like reaction and sequence fighting games. Like Demon may Weep and 999 Nights.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh. Oops. *he pauses and eyes Chii* Video games are for dorks, man.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake frowns.
<Chii> 6Chii takes an unwarranted swing at Marcus.
<Xanatos> *Marcus casually lowers his head to scratch his knee.
<Chii> You suck.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake turns off the game and exits the rec room
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ha ha. Actually did you play that one game? You steal cars and beat the crap out of hookers. It's hilarious.
<Chii> Eh, Grand Theft Lotto?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Don't ask me. You're the video game dork.
* Chii swiftly kicks for Marcus' shin.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ow! *he hops slightly and falls over Drake's chair.*
<Chii> Servers you right. Jackass.
* Chii crosses her arms, looking bitter, but moves over, perusing the system and its collection.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Jeezus Chii-Chii, I was just kidding. Everyone plays video games from time to time.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Drake bought a variety of games, probably so that everyone on the base could find a genre they liked.
* Kulix has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Chii> <Chii> Heyyy Regret of Mana.
* Chii pulls it out and holds it up, smiling slightly.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If you steal that, i'm telling.
<Chii> Why would I steal it? I live here.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake wanders the hallways.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I just know how you are with your sticky fingers.
<Chii> Hrmph. I haven't stolen anything in a while.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Probably because you've already stolen everything you wanted.
<Chii> Is that so?
* Chii hrmphs. 1"Haven't stolen Cheryl's heart." 6She removes Drake's game and sets the new disc in, sitting back in a chair.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah Chii-Chii, she's not gay. You might as well just drop it, honestly.
<Chii> What are you talking about?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You say you're cool with Cheryl just being your friend, right?
<Chii> I don't know about that.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well here's how it goes. You can ONLY be her friend, nothing more, ever. No matter what you do. You need to learn to accept that, because always hinting around that you want to fuck her madly will only make her irratable.
<Chii> You lost me.
* Chii eyes the title screen and starts a new game. She cleverly inputs her name as "Chii" and starts character creation of a hero to save the world.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, maybe one of these days you'll figure it out.
* Chii eyes Marcus for a moment, then peers back at the game screen. She creates something that's surprisingly similar to her in appearance, though instead of the plain human, she adds the ears and tail of the kitsune. During a class selection she choose ninja, and in sub-selections, stalls. 1"I can never decide between weaponsmaster, arts, or thief style. I'm a bit of all three hrmph."
<Chii> You know, Marcus, I think I told you before. I'm not about 'fucking her madly.'
<Chii> Did you forget that, somewhere along the way?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It doesn't really matter. You're not going to magically sway her to the other side. If you haven't already, then you never will. I just said that to make it more dramatic.
* Chii pauses, then waves her hand in front of Marcus. 1"Yo, you listening in there?"
<Chii> I. Don't. Want. Cheryl. To. Have. Sex. With. Me.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yes, you want to hold her, love her, grow old and hold her hand. It's not happening.
<Chii> ...What the hell are you talking about.
* Chii glances toward the game and chooses Thief substyle. It limits her to a pair of blades and speed-based evasion fighting without the use of ninpo.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So you don't have any feelings for Cheryl?
<Chii> You don't need to sleep with someone to have a deep relationship with someone.
<Chii> Maybe you really are retarded. We're talking about completely different things.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, people don't typically steal someone's heart unless they want to be romantically involved, doofus.
<Chii> So I worded it weird. Whatever.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Right, it was all in your wording. Had nothing to do with how you're feeling.
<Chii> You're noisey.
* Chii hands Marcus a second controller. 1"Here, pick."
<Xanatos> *Marcus grabs it and eyes it.
<Chii> You get to modify the appearance, then it'll give you a template of armor and such due to your main class. Then you can fine tune everything manually including the subskills.
* Chii leans back, relaxing while it's turned over to the second player's creation. Apparently she chose the cooperative mode. 1"Let's start over. I'm not looking for a lover in Cheryl."
<Xanatos> *Marcus makes some druid type that can change into a werewolf, going very slow while doing this. "Then what do you want?"
<Chii> I want to be closer to her than anyone else.
* Chii yawns behind her hand. "1That's the best you could come up with?" 6She leaves out the lack of originality in her own design.
<Chii> I want to return her favor.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What if she's happy just being where you both are now? Friends, and allies. Not best friends or soul mates or someone that tells you their whole life worth of secrets?
* Chii shrugs. 1"Eh, then I guess I'm screwed."
<Chii> Figuratively, of course.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You mean to tell me that you can't accept that? That you can't just be good friends?
<Chii> I already know something she'd kill me for if I said. And let's put it this way, I don't feel like bragging or anything. If I succeeded, you might never know.
* Chii runs out of the starting house, ignoring NPCs. She's played it before-- running directly across a field to a very unpeculiar rock and claiming her 'sacred blades!' ...But they've lost their power. She runs for a waterfall.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake lays about in the messhall
<Xanatos> *Marcus runs around in circles killing rats. "Yeah, you're good friends. More than I'll probably ever be with her, isn't that good enough for you?"
<Chii> What are you talking about? You tick her off less than me.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Do you think she tells me things? Shows me the side of her than no one else sees? The fragile side? The woman that is inside that warrior? No.
<Chii> You seem to have a misconception that I see this side, as well.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fair enough. Maybe you're not really a good friend after all. Sucks for you, eh?
* Chii turns and smiles eerily at Marcus. 1"I see the same as you."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Or maybe she's just like my penis. Hard as a rock. *he smiles at Chii*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in his office, doing work
<Chii> That. That's what's not good enough. I refuse to be on the same level as..." 6She glances away, gesturing a hand limply at Marcus. 1"...this."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Did you just make a gay sign at me?
<Chii> I wouldn't know.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Then explain, young'in. I'm confused.
* Chii finishes a simple quest without Marcus' help, but begins having trouble with a mini-boss before the second. 1"Hey, pay attention. The co-op's harder than single."
<Xanatos> *Marcus glances at her, he's still level 1. "Yeah, explain what you meant."
* Chii leads it around an open field, dodging behind rocks. She lacks power being a thief-type, but rapid combos and multi-hitting skills make up for it over time. She brings it down and jumps three levels for killing it way under par.
<Chii> I don't want to be around her for comic relief. I don't know what you want me to tell you. That I want to be real sister to her? I'm sure you'd give me a dozen reasons why that'd never work and I don't feel like hearing them.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well she does have like 20 or so siblings.
<Chii> Tch. Low.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But if you really think about it. Chad's the only person that she is related too that she actually is open with. Maybe you should talk to him?
<Chii> Eh. Like everyone else, Chad hates me.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I think Chad would hate Aya if she wasn't his kid. He's not a happy person.
<Chii> Besides, he just wouldn't understand what I want to be.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You want to be that person that Cheryl comes to when she is troubled. The person that is there to help her along, so that she won't even need to hit the drink. You want to have her love, but not her affection. Correct?
<Chii> Something like that. Sisters aren't affectionate?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No. You and Freyja are sick fucks.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I mean, you might catch me hugging my sister. But I doubt it.
* Chii utterly death glares at Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Why wouldn't you hug your sister?
<Xanatos> *Marcus glances up to the voice.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stands there, peering at them. Apparantly she's bribed her way to hanging out here now, since Megumi was a bust last time.
* Chii peers toward it as well, attempting to hide seething anger. Not very well, since she sets her controller down. In two pieces.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's eyes widen
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, I do. But, only if I haven't seen her for a while, or if I'm going to be gone for a while. We just don't hug randomly. That's weird.
* Chii eyes Aya, fighting to control her visible emotion, rewording her sentences so as not to clue Aya into the matter Marcus brought up.
<Chii> Marcus, do you realize why I was able to do that>
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm sure you'll tell me later. *he gives Chii a look like she should drop it*
<Chii> We look alike, but I don't feel like she's a sister at all.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then awkwardly goes. "I'll excuse myself. Sorry for interrupting." 6* She quickly exits, without giving them a chance.
<DeathStar> *chance to stop her
<Xanatos> <Marcus> BYE AYA! *he calls out*
* Chii gets up from the chair, moving after Aya, but turning the other way down the hall, seriously pissed off. 1"Remind me never to believe you're capable of thinking ever again."
<Xanatos> *Marcus grabs Chii by the back of her...pants or skirt or whatever she is wearing and pulls her back, she may even lose balance and fall on his lap. "No, Chii. Explain it too me. Tell me like i'm a 4 year old. Make me understand."
<Chii> 6Chii stares at Xanatos, having twisted and snatched his hand with both hands, tensing to throw him into a wall, but catching herself and refraining with a twitch. 1"Give me one reason why I should bother you insensitive gnat."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's nice to have friends, isn't it?
<Chii> Friends trample each others feelings?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey, I'm trying to help you grow and evolve as a person. Take you outside of your simplistic ideas and give you some insight on how the world really is. It's not my fault that the truth, or at least what I perceive to be the truth, hurts.
* Chii narrows her eyes at Marcus. 1"Uh huh. You know all about the world. Because you were a talentless simpleton who worked hard to become who you are now."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Damn Chii-Chii. You know so much about me. *he smiles*
<Chii> Save it. Let go. Now.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But I don't wanna. *he frowns*
<Chii> Explain to Warren why you're off availability because you had your own hand fractured in eight places.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hah, he would make me work even if my hand was busted.
<Chii> I pity you.
<Xanatos> *Marcus pulls his hand back and arches a brow. "Oh?"
<Chii> You actually are trying to be nice, aren't you?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I guess I should have known that being nice to you isn't how it works. I'll just curse at you and stuff from now on.
* Chii moves to kick him in the exact same place in the shin.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just slides his leg back and leans forwad all in motion, kissing Chii on the forehead.
* Chii jerks and goes to uppercut him with the foreward end of her elbow.
<Xanatos> *Marcus jumps back, much quicker than one might expect. "Ohhhh darlin. I just stole me a whole bunch of sugar."
* Chii brings her arm down, her other holding up Marcus' wallet. 1"Yeah, me too."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh i'm totally broke, it's why I let you swipe it in the first place. *he grins*
<Chii> Did you really think it through?
* Chii opens it, turning to walk off. 1"Money isn't the only thing people keep in these."
<Xanatos> *Marcus walks along after her. "It's the only thing I keep in there. I think I may just have my id and that's it."
<Chii> Sure, but no one else knows that. I can put whatever incriminating evidence I like in it.
* Chii dashes forward to sprint.
<Xanatos> *Marcus sighs and dashes after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out of the training room in front of Chii. Her hands wrapped up in bandages
* Chii jerks rapidly and backflips over Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up.
* Xanatos skids and umphs when he knicks into Cheryl.
<Xanatos> NRP: Marcus*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands firm, an annoyed expression on her face.
<Xanatos> *Marcus steps back, frowning. "Sorry Cheryl." he turns around to snatch at Chii.
* Chii sweeps backwards, just out of reach. 1"Hey, Cheryl. What do you think Warren would do if he found Marcus' wallet with snaps of Jennifer in it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kill him.
<Chii> Sweet.
* Chii waves the wallet out of reach, grinning at Marcus.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...ok Chii. It's not funny anymore, you win.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the two. "You two flirting?"
<Chii> Okay, so he doesn't keep pictures of Jennifer. Just one I bet Dias took of you back in the showers, Cheryl."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I don't keep pictures in my wallet. Because that would mean I was into a girl enough to want to be with her long term.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, then Marcus, then Chii.
<Chii> Ouch. Apparently he doesn't find you worth longterm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lucky him
<DeathStar> 6* She turns to walk off.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> She would be happier if I didn't. I'm not Dias, you know.
* Chii tosses the wallet over her shoulder, walking forward. 1"Cheryl, you want to have a match later? I haven't been all buggy too much."
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes Chii. "Eh. If you want."
<Xanatos> *Marcus moves over to secure his fake wallet, pocketing it, laughing on the inside at his real wallet being hidden. "A match, eh? Sounds Bo-ring."
<Chii> It'd be fun! It's been a while. Not that I can promise you much of a challenge the way I am currently.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sounds boring, then
<Chii> Well gee, just stomp on my hopes and dreams, then kick my pride into the gutter.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You shouldn't make it so easy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *shrugs* Well, if you're not a challenge, then it's not worth it
<Chii> Says the woman who let me plant a bomb on her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Clearly I didn't think your bomb mattered.
<Chii> I'm sure the feeling was mutual.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just stands there watching.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl yawns.
<Chii> What, should I fight like Dias, then? First one to grope, wins?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* Whatever. 6* She goes to move on
<Xanatos> *Marcus tilts his head and then just sighs. "You did it again, Chii."
<Chii> Probably because her cute reaction used to be funny.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back into the training room
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well now it's just annoying. You say you want to be just friends, sisters even. But your words and your demeanor says that you want to be more.
<Chii> Not my fault you're all sex addicts.
* Chii leans in to look in on Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears to be waiting on something.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I haven't had sex in a long time. Can't blame me if my desires are getting to me.
* Chii smiles widely, then enters the training room.
<DeathStar> 6* Unwrapping the bandages from her bloodied knuckles, Cheryl puts her hand on her hip, and is giving a look that says "make this worth my while".
<Xanatos> *Marcus steps inside and moves over to sit down, apparently he is going to watch.
<Chii> 6Chii studies Cheryl, losing her amusement for a moment and studying what's available in the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Uh, stuff.
<Chii> Alright, alright.
<Xanatos> *Marcus makes loud snoring sound towards Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl idlely glances at the time.
<Chii> 6Chii moves over and grabs a weapon not particularly common for her, a staff, then returns. 1"Mh." 6She dashes for Cheryl, thrusting the end at her from a distance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches out and snags the staff. She then aims to swing Chii around with it
* Chii merely lets go and swings her foot in solidly with an attempt to kick at her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps aside and brings the staff down for her leg.
* Chii does a hopstep, bringing her opposit knee up to hit the staff back upward, twisting to kick at Cheryl, following it up with a knife-edge punch.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just grabs her foot, letting the staff go, and aims to just throw Chii backwards so her punch means nothing
* Chii laughs, her hand hitting the edge of the staff, getting tossed backwards, she lands atop the staff as the other end digs the ground and she propels right back, twisting around for a roundhouse stomp toward the shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps backwards. Judging by her expression, she's not trying that hard.
* Chii lands and drops, going for a sweep, seemingly not bothered by Cheryl backing away from strikes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly aims her foot down to stomp down on Chii's leg before it can sweep her. She puts a lot of power into it
* Chii shifts her body so that her knee points to the ground instead of sideways, as Cheryl's foot connects, it drops naturally. She winces a bit from being stepped on, but not nearly as much as she might have from having her leg snapped the wrong direction. She arcs her back and sends her other foot for Cheryl's face. Apparently she can do the splits.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her head back, reaching up to grab the foot with both hands. She twists.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just makes a face at that tactic.
* Chii jabs her elbow back into Cheryl's foot, releasing the pin on her other leg, allowing her to go along with the shift to sideways, using her hands and Cheryl's own turn to bring her other foot around rapidly for a scissor kick.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is knocked back.
* Chii twirls right around and aims low for the legs again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists, handspringing away.
* Chii grins for some reason, shifting quickly to her feet and pursuing, making a solid right straight.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets back on her feet, waiting.
* Chii already follows and made a right straight at... the waiting person
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps standing there.
* Chii stares as she punches Cheryl. 1"Uh."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl may be punched, but she grabs Chii's arm and aims to lift her up and bash her into the floor is possible.
* Chii blinks as she's pulled off the ground, but lifted up is fine for her, coiling her legs and bending at the waist to stomp down on both of Cheryl's shoulders before her momentum shifts from up to down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches up, and while she shifts downwrad some, she grabs Chii's legs and aims to throw her into the ground
<DeathStar> 6* She follows up with a whip attack for Chii before she can recover.
* Chii grumbles as she twists, hitting her shoulders against the ground and going to roll backwards. She leans up just in time to be struck across an arm with the whip, rubbing it with her hand furiously. 1"Ow, goddamnit!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows up with a whip attack for Chii's face.
* Chii hops up and turns, slamming her foot ferociously into the punching bags she drove Cheryl within, kicking it around in an arc for Cheryl as she leans down, dodging the whip.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back, knocks the bag in an arc for Chii, then whips it and breaks it, so it goes flying
* Chii leaps upward, landing on it for a brief second before flipping, kicking downward at Cheryl as her hand reaches for the wire of another bag to her right.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists and whips upward at Chii's leg
* Chii grabs the wire and swings around it quickly for another kick, her hands quickly undoing the punching bag's binding so it begins to fall.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just avoids the kick.
* Chii drags the top of the bag with her. She lands and turns quickly, flat palm thrusting it toward Cheryl, following behing it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just whips it in half, so it misses her in halves.
* Chii had ducked down, and slams the lower half into Cheryl using her body.
* Dias-StudyingHumanInteraction is now known as Dias`
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is knocked onto her back.
* Chii rears her shoulder back and slams her fist into the bag, not jerking it in the slightest, transferring the effect to its other side.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts.
* Chii leans forward, kneeing into the half-bag, reaching for Cheryl's whip-wielding hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her body, using her knee to knock the bag off.
* Chii leaps back, having tied the wire of the back to the wielding hand, grinning as the bag is 'knocked off.'
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches over with her free hand and aims to break the wire.
* Chii dashes back forward and strikes at the side the bag doesn't reside upon.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts again.
* Dias` steps into the room. He just watches the two, his eyes focused.
* Chii leaps back and against the top of another back, reaching behind her head to untie it and begins falling. She leaps forward, spinning to kick at the back of Cheryl's hip before she can mess with the other one again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit in the hip and goes down into a kneeling position
<Xanatos> *Marcus step past Dias, patting him on the shoulder, making a snore sound. He walks off.
* Chii finishes turning, going to make a palm strike for her left shoulder, yanking the other bag toward them both with the opposite hand.
<Dias`> 6Dias nods at Marcus, shoving him like he would a friend.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit in the left shoulder, and goes face first into the ground
<Xanatos> *Marcus sniffs, making a sad face, he hangs his head when he rounds the corner.
<Dias`> <Dias> That the best you got Cheryl? 6He calls out
* Chii leans down and quickly sleights the second bag to her other wrist. She turns around, back to Cheryl's back and reaches out for the other wire, pulling on both.
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|MexicanMan
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't move.
* Chii sits down on her and leans forward. 1"...Hm, Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly rears to bring her elbow into Chii's kidney
* Chii hacks rather loudly and keels forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then swings her elbow for the back of Chii's head.
* Chii rolls forward swaggardly and off of Cheryl, turning slightly, using her hands for further balance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet.
* Chii stares at Cheryl intently, considering she has two punching bags laced to either wrist. 1"Geez."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
* Dias` leans on the doorway. 1"Now this is cool."
* Chii closes her eyes a moment and exhales, then opens them again, calm, and makes a mad dash toward Cheryl again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her with a maddeningly bored expression
* Chii sends her balled fist for Cheryl's stomach.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly swings her arm, aiming to see just what damage she can do with these punching bags.
* Chii is utterly clubbed by it, rolling away.
<DeathStar> 6* Straining, Cheryl lifts it up by swinging her arm, aiming to try to smash Chii into the floor with one.
<Chii> ...You can use tho-- Holy sh--
* Chii rolls sideways out of the way and springs to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* The floor shudders. Cheryl pants.
* Chii pales slightly, then shakes her head and springs toward her again, sending her right foot for a high kick.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's wrists begin to bleed somewhat, due to this unconventional attack method. She leans back to avoid the kick, if possible.
* Chii continues around and uses her opposite foot for a mid-kick. Apparently she's entering one of her combo successions she practices.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is kicked and stumbles.
* Chii reaches forward and makes for a solid punch to the chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit in the chest and falls.
* Chii continues forward, collapsing her striking arm to strike toward the throat with her elbow.
<DeathStar> 6* Hit in the throat, Cheryl makes a strange sound before hitting the ground.
* Chii is carried by momentum, her next strike seeming to be from her knee, but there's no weight behind it since Cheryl fell. 1"...Uh. Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragoon doesn't reply.
<Chii> Oi, Cheryl!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls onto her side, her back to Chii.
<Chii> ... You okay?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She strains her wrists to break them free.

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frees herself, eyeing her bleeding wrists. She moves and walks off
<DeathStar> 6* Dias is left all alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping into the mess hall, Cheryl grabs ice and puts it into a bag, annoyedly putting it to her neck
