* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080508.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: Mountain of Darkness
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos Durran has been morphed into Legion, along with the powers and abilities of dozens of villains, and most of the team. The team itself has been drained partially by the traps of the mountain, so they're running at about 70% efficency, with some of them in worse shape - Zephyr can barely stand, her Dragoon Buster shot having drained her, her concussion making her head wonky, and the drugs Angela gave her playing havoic with her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is kneeling there, eyeing the pit that has closed with Durran inside, barely clothed, her faced bruised, her knuckles raw, and it's hard to say how much energy she has left now, as well. And Megumi's energy reserves are at 0 now, barely any attack power left herself. And before them is a Dark One with unknown power, Sommelier, and Legion about to break free
<DeathStar> 6* The pit begins to crack, and the familiar power of Legion can be felt by all.
* Marcus` shifts, tightening his grip around his shotgun. "...things are about to get messy."
<Seraphna> "That power... no Xan..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tenses up as his feet shift into his ready stance.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans on Dias, trying to keep her eyes open
* Seraphna holds her samaritan at the ready.
* Myria sniffles.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC quickly changes clips as she stands in the back, waiting.
<Kit> <Chii> No way. That guy? He was always so nice to me...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to stand, her legs giving out on her. "Angela. Give me an energy booster. Adrenaline. Something."
<Seraphna> * Wolf snaps a fresh power cell into her gun.
<Kit> 6Chii snarls at Cheryl. 1"No! You're done."
* Seraphna pulls out a stimpack, military grade and tosses it to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snatches it
<Seraphna> "You'll feel it in the morning."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nocks an arrow nervously. This... isn't a good situation.
<Kit> 6Chii swipes at it, missing; she in turn glares death upon Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores Chii, putting it in her neck, injecting it
* Seraphna ignores Chii as well.
<Kit> 6Lilith retreats again, whining.
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier roars, enraged. "You will pay for this!
<Kit> 6Chii is thoroughly ignored as usual.
* Marcus` glances at Paladin, then looks forward at Sommelier. "Orders?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Taking on Legion and a dark one of this caliber isn't going to be easy.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a trap that was set up, and stun weapons fire into the group from unknown positions, hitting them, and then a cage of energy surrounds them.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin is about to speak when he's hit, and then weakly eyes the cage.
* Myria flops on to the floor.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias drops to his knees, wincing.
* Seraphna slumps over, groaning, shaking her head as she stares at the cage.
* Marcus` arghs and falls down to his knees, dropping his weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yelps out and falls over, too weak to resist
<Kit> 6Megumi promply falls over without a sound. Chii growls angrily.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin stands, breathing steadily, not falling unconscious
<Seraphna> * Wolf falls over, "Bloody fuckin goddamnit hell!"
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC hits the ground and starts to push herself up.
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> That was meant for the Progneitor, but it'll serve just as well for you
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, bursting with adrenaline, shrugs it off.
<Seraphna> "What... Progenitor..."
* Marcus` slowly pulls himseld to his feet, he shakes his head. "That...Drasek guy?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up taking deep breaths. He glances back at Zephyr. "You alright?"
<Kit> 6Lilith shakes her head, having rolled to guard Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tries to speak, when suddenly the floor begins to attempt to grab people. It grabs her and Megumi, sucking them under immediately.
<DeathStar> 6* The floor grabs at Dias next
<Kit> 6Chii reaches out to snatch at Cheryl's ankle. 1"...D-Don't.."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is grabbed, snarling, as it tries to pull her under
* Seraphna struggles to stand, "What..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias panics and tries to grab Zephyr. He holds his hand down at the floor and fires at the floor grabbing him. 1%
<Kit> 6Lilith finally shifts forms, taking Raquel in her arms and trying to stay above the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* The floor lets go of Dias
<Seraphna> "Zephyr!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Chii, then roars in anger, turning into her deformed Gear shape, despite the pain it causes herself, and slams into the shield around them
<DeathStar> 6* The shield begins to zap into Cheryl
* Marcus` attempts to lift up his shotgun. "Son of a bitch...""
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin fires into the floor. "Don't let it take yo."
* Seraphna starts firing into the floor. Wolf stands up and fires down as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar leaps around in a panic. "Good God!"
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC aims her rifle down at the floor and fires into it.
<Kit> 6Chii reaches back, twitching and pulls out both of her energy blades, digging them both into the floor as she struggles to get back up.
* Marcus` lifts his head and shakes it once more, before aiming his shotgun and then firing it into the floor below him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps attacking the shield, roaring like a dragon, and finally rips it open for the group, as it shocks her body. An explosion resounds from inside her
* Myria sniffles and digs in her tech pack, pulling a device and firing a carrier beam of her particles into the floor, one of her anti-Dark One weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin spots the opening.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Move through it, people.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps past the cage/shield.
<Kit> 6Lilith floats for the opening, keeping an eye out for the surroundings.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks to the sound of the explosion. His eyes setting on Cheryl. He grimaces and starts running towards the opening
<Seraphna> * Wolf barrels through the opening, moving out and readying her cannon for the next threat.
* Marcus` glances over at Cheryl, frowning as he moves to get out of the cage.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stats close behind Lilith, keeping her bow ready
* Myria moves!
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC starts running for hte opening now.
<Myria> NRP: ...dang it...need to go AFK...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reverts back to her normal form, kneeling there. Sommelier slams his fist down on the railing, looking down at them from his balcony view.
<Kit> 6Chii claws along the ground for it using her blades to pull to her feet and stumble along. 1"No feeling in my legs.."
* Seraphna stares at where Zephyr was pulled in a moment but jerks away, runnig through the opening.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Marcus grab Cheryl. 6He moves past Chii and grabs the back of her collar, yanking her up and onto his back.
* Marcus` glances at Dias and mvoes over to kneel by her. "Get onto my back."
<Kit> 6Chii chokes slightly, then twitches. 1"Wh-who asked you..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Scar moves along, when the pit explodes open, and a piece of it nails him in the head, sending him flipping back and onto the ground, unconscious. Standing there, naked and nude, is the giant Legion, completely blue, his eyes glowing red, standing at about 6'7". His body is muscled and taunt, and his aura is evil, but he isn't overly powerful yet. He appears confused. Even a bit child like. He looks around
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can leave you behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head at Marcus, coughing up some blood. She eyes Legion instead with her black eyes
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps through the shield and comes to a stop, eyeing Legion.
* Seraphna eyes Legion.
<Seraphna> * Wolf aims her cannon carefully when she sees Legion.
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> It worked. It worked. 6* He sounds astounded.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps through the opening and lands, sliding.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion looks at his own his hands with child like wonder.
* Marcus` glances up at Legion. "Then you just sit tight, you need to save your energy, after we deal with Legion, I'll help you get out of here."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin grips his weapons, aiming at Legion
<Seraphna> "Xan..."
<Myria> NRP: Back
<Seraphna> "Zephyr... we need to get Zephyr back!"
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> Legion! Kill them! They are your enemies!
<Kit> 6Dawn fires a shot for Legion's head, having stayed back and lined up.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is shot in the head
<DeathStar> 6* Legion blinks in confusion, then looks at Dawn, as if wondering why he would do that
<DeathStar> <Legion> You are our....enemy....
<Kit> <Chii> H-How do you still move so well." 6She peers down at Dias enviously. 1"You should be tired, too.."
<Seraphna> "No..."
* Marcus` tilts his head, standing up. "Legion. We aren't. We were your friends. Are your friends."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm too stupid. 6He sets her down.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion reaches up to his face, where blood has begun to trickle down from a single shot
<DeathStar> 6* Legion removes his hand, eyeing his own blood
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes the blood, and his apparantly lack of invulernability. "He's weak. We can kill him."
<Myria> Uhhh! He's with him! *points at Dawn then at Sommelier!*
<Kit> 6Dawn leans back, lowering the gun a bit with a freaked out expression.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion aims his hand at Dawn and fires a beam attack at Dawn
* Marcus` frowns, glancing at Paladin. "Yeah but if we could get him on our side..."
<Kit> 6Dawn dodge rolls to the side.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Dawn, move! Everyone, take him down!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet and rushes at Legion. Legion aims at her and fires
* Marcus` widens his eyes and attempts to step forward and jerk her out of the way.
<Seraphna> * Wolf fires her cannon at Legion.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rotates his cuffs then makes a mad dash for Legion.
<Kit> <Chii> Too... stupid..?" 6She actually looks like she considers that as Dias runs off.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is hit by Wolf, the shot hitting his side, causing more blood to explode from him, and bone.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel fires an arrow at Legion, aiming for his throat.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus jerks her to the side, but steps into the path of the shot and is hit himself. The attack does nothing
<Seraphna> * Wolf moves and recharges.
* Marcus` pauses and slowly glances over his shoulder. "What the?"
<DeathStar> 6* The arrow hits Legion in the throat, going right through it. He hurks, falling to his knees pathetically as he bleeds. Sommelier stares in disbelief
<Seraphna> "Something... isn't right...?"
<Seraphna> "Legion... this weak with that power?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, moving along the balcony, swings her energy sword at Sommelier, but it hits his shield. He spins, grabbing her by the throat, lifting her up and slamming her into the railing
* Chad`Winters drops low and spin kicks at the side of Legions head.
<Kit> <Chii> Something's wrong. It doesn't feel right.
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> Useless. USELESS
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances up
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Legion looks at Dias with a child look expression of pain, then his hit and sent flying to across the room
<Kit> 6Dawn shifts on his landing and hefts the rifle, aiming for Sommelier after he tosses Katrina, firing again.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin stares. "Maybe he wasn't meant to be ---" 6* He looks at Sommelier
* Seraphna turns and fires her gun at Sommelier.
<Myria> Maybe Xanatos wasn't supposed to be Legion...?
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier didn't actually toss Katrina away from him
* Marcus` looks up. "Kat!" He grips his shotgun and begins to move towards that balcony.
<DeathStar> 6* Just slammed her
<Myria> And if we did alter the future... ...and we're not all collapsing into a cosmic singularity...?
<DeathStar> 6* He lifts KAtrina up in the path of the shots
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC trains her weapon, waiting for a clear shot.
<Kit> 6Lilith lifts her hand, moving shots up over Katrina and bringing them to a halt.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Or maybe he just doesn't know how to use his abiltiies yet... this is our target right?"
<DeathStar> 6* While that might work for Dawn, Angela uses energy shots.
<Marcus`> Leave her alone! *he says as he moves closer to Sommelier.*
<DeathStar> 6* Since she is using Sam, they're both using bullets
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier snears out
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> Legion! USE YOUR ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE, YOUR IMMORTALITY DEAGING GENE
<DeathStar> 6* Legion pauses, then begins to crackle with a blue aura and energy
* Marcus` motions. "Come'on, take me on. Just you and me."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to shoot Sommelier with an arrow... how cheesy.
<Seraphna> "H-His what?"
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not immor--- er.. wait.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> He has an immortality gene, and an aging gene?
<Seraphna> "...Chii gave him that at Sommelier's old base."
<DeathStar> 6* Legion's wounds begin to repair themselves instantly
<Seraphna> "When she touches the machine."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I think they took that one from my book. 6He stares at Legion now
<Kit> <Chii> YOU FUCK, I'M NOT IMMORTAL!
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier uses Katrina as a shield, the arrow hitting Katrina
<Kit> 6Chii strains and gets up, waving her fist. 1"I can still die, I just don't age."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina howls in pain
<Kit> 6Chii points at Legion. 1"So if that's the case. He can fucking die."
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> Who said it was yo?
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "Stop firing at him you morons!"
<DeathStar> 6* SOmmelier keeps his grip on Katrina, even as Legion's power level begins to spike as the aura and energy spikes. Hyperspace energy begins to leap about next
* Seraphna looks at Legion, shaking a bit.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You guys deal with Sommelier. I'll keep Legion busy. 6He dashes in at Legion again.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides to a halt. 1"Uh oh."
<Kit> 6Lilith stares at everyone arguing about various things, then arcs the two bullets she stopped, accelerating them toward Legion's chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Hyperspace energy zooms around and at Dias. Paladin ducks a bolt.
<DeathStar> 6* The bullets are vaped as well
* Seraphna ducks a bolt and moves back slowly. "Goddamnit..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps to the side and rolls
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC leaps back, sliding.
<Myria> ...wh..what do we do, Mr. Paladin...?
<Kit> 6Dawn begins moving up the way toward Sommelier during the chaos in a discreet wall-hugging way.
* Marcus` slams his foot out at Sommelier, trying to at least put enough force into it that even hitting the shield would cause him to release Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Since when did Marcus get to the balcony top?
<Marcus`> NRP: Uhhh.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I call foul.
<Kit> 6Dawn begins climbing, if that's necessary!
* Seraphna just looks for a clean shot, keeping on her toes.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion lets out a roar as his wounds as healed and suddenly a tear in the fabric in time occurs, and Erevis emerges, landing there. Her hair is completely red, and she's wearing her outfit from S14, though she looks about 27.
<Seraphna> * Wolf finishes charging her cannon, stepping back a bit as she takes aim at Legion.
<Seraphna> "...ERE?"
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC raises her rifle and aims it at Legion now.
<Myria> ...its happening!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands in front of Legion, looking confused, and out of place. She peers at Legion with no comprehension, then at the others
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin blinks
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Erevis watch out.
<Kit> <Chii> Move!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina whimpers in pain
<Seraphna> "Ere move!"
<DeathStar> 6* Legion snakes out and grabs Erevis by the throat as well, lifting her up
<DeathStar> <Legion> Erevis
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls and dashes in at full speed towards the two now.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers over the edge of the balcony, then attempts to pull himself up
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier, watching what is happening, doesn't see Dawn
* Seraphna rushes in to get her as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion fires a beam at Angela and Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin aims. "Dammit!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias crouches and leaps to the side, sliding.
* Seraphna leaps to one side, skidding a bit.
<Myria> ...Mr. Paladin...? What do we do...? Things are happening like they did before...or are they?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces, panicked, clearly afraid and confused.
<Kit> 6Dawn circles around behind him, then kneels, sliding a device along the ground toward him-- one hand reaching and bringing up a datapad and setting it against his rifle, steadying both. When he thinks he's ready, he pushes the button, setting off the stun charge close to Sommelier, firing for his upper shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> 6He kicks off and moves back in again
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I am unsure.
<Kit> 6Chii looks around for what happened to Cheryl.
* Seraphna moves in as well, hand on her sword handle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is watching what is happening
<DeathStar> 6* Legion roars in anger and teleports with Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* The stun shot hits the shield, but the shot goes through and hits his shoulder. He lets go of Katrina
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides, his eyes darting around frantically to find them. 1"Where'd they go?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier shoves KAtrina, right off the balcony, and turns to Dawn
<Seraphna> "He could be anywhere... Dias, we still have to get Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds a hand over his mouth, though
* Seraphna eyes the pit.
* Marcus` stares up at Katrina falling down toward him, he attempts to catch her, good thing he didn't climb after all.
<DeathStar> 6* The pit has sense become solid
<Kit> 6Dawn twitches, hoping Marcus was still near there, firing for Sommelier's other shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If I knew where she went I'd find her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lands in his arms
* Marcus` grunts slightly, then glances down at her. "You ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* The shield takes the shot. Sommelier fires a beam at Dawn.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I've...been better... 6* She's bleeding from the back
<Kit> 6Dawn grinds his teeth and leaps, rolling to his feet.
<Seraphna> "Damnit..."
* Marcus` frowns. "Angela, I need your help." He shifts Kat over towards her, moving back to the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier blurs and grabs Dawn as he leaps
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier eyes him as he grips him by the throat
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> You think you're clever.
* Seraphna nods and moves her attentions to Kat, starting to treat her wounds.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you. 6* She looks up. "Dawn needs help."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns to eye the balcony.
<Kit> 6Dawn twitches and lets go of his rifle, dangling by the strap, grabbing for his throat reflexively. He wasn't aware Sommelier could move like that!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to Marcus. 1"Fastest way up."
* Marcus` glances, after laying Kat gently down onto the ground. He stands up and drops his shotgun, grabbing at his chest. "I'm on...it..." his body begins to shift into that wolf form.
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> You shouldn't enter fights you don't know anything about. 6* He begins to let deadly energy enter his fingers, which would burn Dawn
* Seraphna nods, treating her with a medical shot.
<Kit> 6Chii grinds her teeth at Legion's disappearance, peering toward Cheryl. 1"Are you okay!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up, removing a hand with coughed up blood. "Fine." 6* She moves toward the balcony, her body overactive with adrenaline.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes a step forward, crouching slightly.
<Myria> He's going to kill Dawn!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin aims, but hestitates to fire.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Right at him.
<Kit> 6Dawn grips the knuckles of one hand, sliding an object from his wriststraps to the crease in his elbow, one of the energy knives flickering on and jabs it up for Sommelier's arm.
* Marcus` finishes his transformation and steps forward grabbing Dias, jerking to throw him up onto the balcony.
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn actually stabs Sommelier, either the shield being down, or if Sommelier is touching, they can hit him.
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier snears in pain
* Seraphna finishes with Kat and stands up, taking aim at Somm.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flies through the air and twists around, spin kicking at Sommelier.
<Kit> 6Dawn strains and makes a reverse kick for his side, trying to get away desperately. Something about being grappled he just seems to hate!
* Myria blinks then raises her weapon, firing the anti-Dark One bioparticles at Sommelier's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn kicks him, but Sommelier just shifts Dawn into the path of Dias and Myria's attack, so Myria fires at Dias and Dawn
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his other foot around and presses it agianst Dawn's chest, kicking them apart
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Myria. "What are you doing?"
* Marcus` kneels down and springs up, attempting to land on the balcony, though if it's too high, he would opt to grab onto it and pull himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* He seems baffled she would fire with that many people next to Somelier
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the balcony and rolls, onto his feet.
<Myria> I was spraying him with anti-Dark One bioparticles! Harmless to non-Dark Ones!
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier moves through a door in the wall up on the balcony as the two play around and are shields
<Kit> <Chii> Other bastard's up there, right..?" 6She rubs her shoulder, then crouches, and begins springing from place to place upwards.
<Seraphna> "Damnit, he's gettign away!"
* Marcus` moves towards the door quickly, granted he made it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is the man, so he'd make it
<Myria> ...of course...I don't know how well they work...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains and leaps up and climbs, to follow
* Seraphna climbs as well.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves to the door behind Marcus now.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin stares, then moves to stay with his unit
<Myria> ...since I could never actually hit a Dark One!
<Kit> <Chii> Quit following me, Cherry! You're beyond hurt!
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves after Paladin
<Myria> Oh! *scrambles after the others!*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores Chii
<Seraphna> * Wolf straps her gun on her back and starts climbing.
<Kit> 6Lilith follows the rear people, tugging Raquel along.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches them go, frowning. She glances at Lilith
<Seraphna> "Yeah, tell Cheryl to stop, that works."
<Kit> 6Dawn slides the knife back into his hand, one on the opposite wrist sliding into his other hand and resumes trying to cease being Sommelier's bodyguard.
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses, eyeing Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* The door leads to a long hallway. A suspicious hallway.
<Myria> ...I don't like these hallways...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I hate hallways. 6He sighs and dashes down it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to climb. "Come on, Raquel. Lilith."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes it up top, and follows after them. Whatever blew up inside her makes her run awkwardly.
<Kit> 6Lilith grabs Katrina and begins lifting Raquel -and- Kat upwards, sighing.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes a deep breath and follows
* Myria moves down the hallway.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...she cheats like that."
* Seraphna runs with Cheryl, keeping pace with her.
* Marcus` moves down it as well. "You and me both." he says in a rough tone.
<Kit> 6Chii glares at Cheryl, making an exasperated huff. 1"G-Goddamn it." 6She turns to focus on the chase.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi would awaken in a dark place. Literally dark, even to her cat eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lays near by, her breathing erratic.
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks, startled. 1"Wh-where...--" 6She pauses, focusing on the sound of Zephyr. 1"...Zephyr..? Zephyr, are you alright..!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head. "N-Not really."
<Kit> 6Megumi tries to move toward her. 1"H-Hold on.. I will try my best to help.."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the darkness begins to attack them with tendrils, dozens of tendrils. From all directions
<DeathStar> 6* It seems this is a fatal trap.
<Kit> 6Megumi reels, then throws her hands out to delay it as best she can. 1"Z-Zephyr, find the others!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits up weakly, then looks around. "I-I don't see anyway out, Megumi." 6* She sounds scared.
<DeathStar> 6* She slides up to lean against Megumi
<Kit> <Megumi> ...S-Speak not like that. There is always a way. It need not be obvious, you just need to seek it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She eyes the tendrils attacking from all directions. "If I step away from you, I'll be overwhelmed."
<Kit> <Megumi> ... ..." 6She closes her eyes, but it's dark anyway. 1"... Did... you consider my words?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh? Y-Yes... 6* She holds her head, which is spinning
<Kit> <Megumi> I am helpless alone, after all.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Th-That's not true!
<Kit> <Megumi> So if we cannot go our seperate ways. Will you not come with me?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr swallows, then nods. "Okay. I'm...just pretty weak and my head's all....whatever Angela gave me...and I think I have a concussion. A...bond could kill us."
<Kit> 6Megumi wraps her arms around Zephyr. 1"Would it be easier if I tasted of chocolate?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks. "H-H-Huh?!"
<DeathStar> 6* A tendril tries to snatch around Megumi's leg
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr swallows, leaning against Megumi, since they need as much physical contact as possible. "Okay. Okay. We can do this. Right?"
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs slightly, letting it. 1"You worry too much. Zephyr is best like that, her best is more than enough."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, closing her eyes, and relaxing, opening herself up to Megumi.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFt-
<DeathStar> Location: Hallway
<DeathStar> 6* The team moves down the hallway
* Marcus` taking the front, looks left and right, expecting some type of trap.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves a step behind Marcus.
<Kit> 6Dawn twitches at this point, finding energy knives not getting him far, panting at this point with his arms a bit weak.
* Seraphna stays in stride with Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii does her best to keep up with a mad dash behind Marcus and Dias.
<Seraphna> * Wolf walks behind near the rear of the group, watching their backs.
* Myria looks around suspiciously at the walls.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You'd think they'd spruce the walls up to throw us off.
<DeathStar> 6* Walls suddenly slam down, separating Chii, Marcus, and Dias from the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Walls then slam down behind the others
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns, as does Cheryl.
* Marcus` slows to a stop, then glances behind himself, then ahead. "...."
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC turns.
<Kit> 6Chii slides to a halt, peering back. 1"F-Fuck! What now!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers as they get trapped.
* Seraphna looks about, "Oh god..."
<DeathStar> 6* The walls begin to close in
<Seraphna> "Not good!"
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses, narrowing her gaze, then holds up her hands, trying to create outward pressure to halt/slow it as best she can.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the walls, coughing up red fluid, glaring.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Marcus, can you take that wall out? 6He points at the wall that closed behind them.
<Kit> <Lilith> No. Not good.
<DeathStar> 6* The walls slow somewhat, but not nearly enough
<Kit> <Lilith> I... cannot stop it.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Cheryl, can you form a Gear to stop it?
* Marcus` shifts and moves back to the wall, pulling back his fist in an attempt to slam his fist through the wall, using Dark Energy.
<Myria> Should we run now...?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him. The circles under her eyes and the explosion earlier probably means it's bad.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall keeps moving, unphased
* Seraphna pulls up her sleeves and starts attemtping to cut a hole into the wall ahead of them with her bracer's energy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What the hell...
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I think we need bigger guns..."
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus, however, is hit by terrible pain, and falls over
<DeathStar> 6* More tattoos and darkness appears on his chest
<Myria> Mr. Marcus?!
* Marcus` reverts back to human form too, shitty louck for the team.
<DeathStar> 6* Myria is trapped with the others, and not with Marcus
<Marcus`> NRP: Luck*
<DeathStar> 6* Angela's bracer does othing to the wall
<Seraphna> "No good."
<DeathStar> 6* There's only about 8 feet now before the group, other than Chii, Marcus, and Dias, are crushed
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains, trying to use her Gear form
<Seraphna> * Wolf pulls up her big cannon. "I can try blasting through."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves upto the wall and holds his hands out, gathering dark energy. He pulls together a Dark Matter ball and presses it into the wall to tear a hole into it. 3%
* Myria tries to run to clear the trap hallway!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to hit the wall with a holy blast, hoping it can slow down the inevitable doom
<DeathStar> 6* Myria, being trapped, has no where to run. Clearly being trapped means little to her
<Kit> <Chii> Well normally I'd blow a hole in it, but hey, no explosives!
<Myria> NRP: Oh, missed the walls that sleaed it off...
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel and Dias, just happening to attack the wall at the same time with their respective attacks, blow a hole in the wall
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides back from the resulting explosion.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her blades, touching her bracers together and focuses energy into it. 1"Time for you to pay back some of your debt, Asmodeus." 6Turning their tune to a plasma hum and attempting to cut into the wall.
<Seraphna> "...Awesome!"
<Kit> 6Chii pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses herself
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Through the hole
<Ariel> Raquel> "...nice shot." *vacates the trap*
<Kit> 6Lilith grabs Raquel and tosses her through.
* Myria moves through the hole.
* Seraphna heads through, as does Wolf, who looks upset at not getting to use her gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves through the hole.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps through, having been silent
<Kit> 6Lilith slides through lastly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs through
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves out after Cheryl
* Marcus` groans, trying to get up, trying his best to fight through the pain, though his face doesn't hide it at all.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> That was close.
<Kit> 6Chii leans back from the others exiting the trap with her blades still changed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lets out a deep breath and moves over to Marcus and grabs him, yanking him across his shoulders.
<Kit> 6Chii then turns and continues sprinting down the hallway for their mark.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs, forcing her body ahead
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes the two, then moves along
* Marcus` groans. "Dude..."
<Kit> 6Chii growls over her shoulder. 1"There's no need to hurt yourself if I finish it first!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah I know. It hurts. 6He starts jogging down the hallway after Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs along, saying nothing, the circles under her black eyes deepening
<Marcus`> No...this is gay...
* Seraphna moves after Cheryl as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hurries along, delicately.
* Myria hurries along with the others.
<Seraphna> * Wolf grunts and follows up the rear once more.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC follows along
<Kit> 6Lilith pauses and reaches back into the trap, throwing Myria out of the trap SO she can continue along.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. Myria exited
<Myria> NRP: I think I was ther first one who actually did :p
<Kit> 6Dawn heaves after rolling out of the trap, and walks down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* The team keeps moving down the hallway
<Myria> NRP: or second...but anywho...
* Seraphna eyes Cheryl with a hint of worry and keeps moving.
<DeathStar> 6* They reach a door
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You really need to lose some weight Marcus.
<Myria> Miss Sera...what's wrong...?
<Marcus`> No one likes a...wimp.
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the door
* Seraphna looks back at Myria and shrugs, saying nothing.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can drop you, you do realize that right?
* Seraphna looks back at the door, her mortal enemy.
<Marcus`> Yeah..put me down...can't let this pain get to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin checks his gun power
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Alright. 6He smirks and just shrugs Marcus off, letting him fall roughly to the ground
<Myria> ...are you worried about Miss Cheryl...?
<Kit> 6Chii leans forward, stabbing at it with both blades and making quick arcs outward.
* Marcus` lands on the ground and hisses in pain, laying there.
<DeathStar> 6* The door is easily cut open
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Dias, shakes her head, and helps Marcus up
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No one likes a wimp, Marcus.
<Kit> 6Dawn arrives finally, manually reloading large calibur shells into his rifle.
<Kit> 6Chii stalks through, still obsessed with getting Sommelier before Cheryl implodes.
* Marcus` shakes his head to Kat. "I'm okay." He pushes himself up, his jaws tenched tight.
* Seraphna smiles in glee at the defeated door and walks after Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves through. They enter a new room, that seems like a room with tons of strange organic Dark Ones that are all slumped over
<DeathStar> 6 The room is the size of half the football field
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves in after Cheryl
<Myria> ...what is this place...?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin enters, sweeping
<Seraphna> "Test subjects."
<Ariel> * Raquel seems nervous as she glances around this room
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps through next, her rifle sweeping the oppoiste way of Paladin
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm banking on a birth place.
<DeathStar> 6* As they enter, the gravity increases for the team, crushing them to the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin strains and falls to his knees
* Marcus` smiles weakly to Kat before he moves though, ableit slowly. His eyes peering about, before he is crushed to the ground.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the ground, roughly.
<Seraphna> "Urk!"
<Kit> 6Chii moves through with a confident stride, her eyes peering around like a maniac for her prey-- then slumps to the ground, snarling.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC collapses.
* Seraphna falls over, groaning.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina yells and falls to her face
<Kit> 6Dawn peers at the others falling and remains in the hall, staring.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains, but succums
<Seraphna> * Wolf hits the ground. "What shit is this now...?"
* Myria tumbles over
<Myria> ...gravity field...increase...
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones begin to come to life and move toward the group
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Perhaps Lilith can negate this.
<Seraphna> * Wolf tries to angle her gun up, grunting against the weight of it, and fire at the oncoming Dark Ones.
* Marcus` glances up and tenses up, straining to stand, a vein popping in his neck.
<Kit> 6Chii trains to stand, moving with feral movement and intentions, gripping her plasma blades tightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Wolf's shots hit the floor
<Kit> 6Lilith peers toward SPoC, then forms a well in the center of the room, attempting to reverse it.
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> It is time you all died.
<DeathStar> 6* He says, stepping out on the far side of the room
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith's attempt will take time.
<Seraphna> Wolf> 'Go to Hell Sommerlier."
<DeathStar> 6* Chii will need more power to be able to stand.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Say that to my face ya jackass. 6He struggles to try and stand.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to sweat as she begins to use her corruption power
<DeathStar> 6* Black veins appearing
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones take up positions to attack
<Seraphna> "Fight your own damn battles you coward..."
<Kit> 6Chii's ears twitch and she looks to Cheryl. With a furious expression she tries even harder to stand, starting to form the glowing spheres and the darkened aura, her blades returning to normal as she shifts the focus of her channeling to her self.
* Marcus` growls and attempts to stand, his eyes turning read.
<Kit> <Lilith> Trying.. ....difficult... more power than I... contain.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I am sure you can do it, Lilith
<Kit> 6Lilith sighs, almost as if troubled by this statement, and resumes dutiful concentration, sweating.
<DeathStar> 6* If Chii is indeed tapping into the power of a Dark One soul, she can stand
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays there, helpless
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones aim
* Seraphna keeps struggling to stand up, mere human.
<Kit> 6Chii punches the ground and rises, hissing. 1"If you want us to die, why don't you lead the way..?"
<Seraphna> * Wolf just curses and keeps trying to get her gun high enough.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to raise an arrow, with all of her might... which isn't that much
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones begin to fire into the group, their blasts hitting them
<DeathStar> 6* PAladin is hit, blood coming out of his shoulder as the blast punctures him
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tumbles back, slamming back into the ground again
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC cries out as shes' hit
<DeathStar> 6* A blast hits Dias' side, ripping it bloodily
<Kit> 6Dawn fires at the Dark Ones from the hall, lost on the the gravity of the situation.
* Myria cries as she is shot at!
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn's shots hit a field; he's been locked out
* Seraphna screams a bit as she takes one in the arm, whimpering in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* As each person is shot, a piece of flesh is torn away, leading to blood
<DeathStar> 6* As Angela is shot, her body flares, and she can suddenly stand, as her blood and organs boil
<Kit> 6Lilith shrieks, hesitating in forming the well. 1"Cannot ..protect as well.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina cries out in pain
<Ariel> 6* Raquel cringes, doing her best not to scream.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls in pain, blood running down the side of her face
* Seraphna growls out and stands up, glaring, ripping the tendril away.
<Kit> 6Chii exchanges weapons and begins firing hails of shots into the Dark Ones around her.
* Marcus` is struck in the side, he narrows his eyes and he attempts to use that pain to add to what he's already feeling, pumping the corruption power into his muscles to help himself stand.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus stands when he reaches 5%
<Seraphna> * Wolf curses as her shoulder's bleeding out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sadly can't grab his side because of all the gravity
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's shots are wild, and don't do too much good, as the Dark Ones are out of shot range.
* Marcus` slips out his blades, and kneels forward to dash forward towards the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally stands, using 5% corruption, her body swaying, as the blood makes her left side sticky and wet.
<Kit> 6Chii sets them away and begins stalking forward toward them with her blades out again.
* Seraphna fires a blast out of her bracer out at some of the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii is able to break the grip of gravity
<DeathStar> 6* Angela's attack hits the ground. HEr blasts aren't super like her
* Marcus` slashes out with the ripple blade first as he gets closer to a Dark One.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela's body begins to weaken from being in a hightened state.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus slashes a Dark One in two
* Seraphna rushes forward, hand on her sword handle, she rushes and slashes out at some Dark ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves ahead, using her whip to smash into a Dark One. Sommelier stares in disbelief
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark One is slashed by Angela, falling.
* Marcus` twists around in a circle, slashing for another with that Ripple.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark One dodges Marcus
<Marcus`> NRP: ripple blade, my bad.
<DeathStar> 6* A Dark One stabs Cheryl in the shoulder, spinning her to the ground
<Kit> 6Chii, at first touch of cutting into one of the targets, stares at her blade and puts it away, smiling widely as she continues on, using her own fingers, the dark points at the end of them her preferred weapons, visibly enjoying the rather brutal dance and personal touch it requires.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin watches helplessly.
* Seraphna spins around and strikes out at another one, giving into her rage.
<Kit> 6Lilith resumes concentrating on the reverse well when being shot's paused.
* Marcus` takes a step back, then forward, slashing with the non-ripple blade.
<Kit> 6Dawn kneels and pulls out the two pads, working on analyzing the room ahead.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's brutual touch is, well, brutual.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark One is slashed by Angela, and one by Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Two Dark Ones fire tendrils at Chii while she's brutualized another Dark One
<DeathStar> 6* One Dark One leaps at Angela from behind
<DeathStar> 6* And one attempts to gut Marcus head on with a tendril stab
* Seraphna twists around and slashes out at the Dark One in her whirlwind of fury, using her momentum to make it count.
<Kit> <Chii> ..Hehe--urk.." 6She pauses and gazes down at being jabbed, turning at the expense of furthering the injuries to move up along them, slowly moving for the attackers themselves, giggling.
* Marcus` shifts to blocks the striker, sliding around to the side, slashing back for the Dark One.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela takes out her Dark One, and Marcus takes out his. Their bodies become tired, and give out.
<DeathStar> 6* MEanwhile, Lilith reverses the gravity.
<Kit> <Lilith> F-Finished...
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC rises weakly, taking labored breaths
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin stands, holding his damaged shoulder. Katrina stands as well. Sommelier eyes them, enraged.
* Seraphna falls to her knee and coughs, shaking with combined rage and exhaustion.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans as he rolls onto his back, he stares at his hand which is covered in blood.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones stab at Chii again
<Seraphna> * Wolf stands and pulls up her cannon, firing it at Sommelier, if she has a clear shot.
* Marcus` falls to his knees, weakly trying to stand again, but he clearly can't.
<DeathStar> 6* The shot hits a shield
* Myria rises to her feet, pressing a button on her suit, which closes over her wounds...at least keeping her alive though weakened and in pain...
<Kit> 6Chii takes another one, then reaches out and grabs the tendril in her side and yanks it, aiming to pull that according Dark One to her, a closed fist waiting for it.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel fires an arrow at the dark ones as gravity lightens up and she regains her footing
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC swings her rifle up and fires at the Dark Ones
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> I can see why you all have given the other Dark Ones trouble, but you will find that I will not be defeated so easily.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels there, bleeding
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark One is jerked to Chii
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than take me on...6He howls as he pushes himself up, his hand holding his side.
<DeathStar> 6* The only DArk Ones remaining are the two fighting Chii
<DeathStar> 6* And Sommelier
* Seraphna pants, unable to move leaning on her sword.
<Kit> 6Chii shifts a good deal of her contained energy into the hand, intent on quite literally bashing the unfortunate one in and continuing toward the second.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii bashes the first one in
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier eyes them all, his black eyes cold with hatred
<Kit> 6Chii crouches slightly and springs for it, extending both hands eagerly. 1"Heheh!"
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC lowers her rifle.
<Seraphna> "Blah... blah... blah... the mighty stand on their own..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes a deep breath and starts walking towards Sommelier.
<DeathStar> 6* The second Dark One stabs at Chii
<Seraphna> * Wolf straps her cannon back and walks after Dias, pissed off.
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier eyes the two approaching
<Kit> 6Provided the last normal one doesn't have any tricks left, Chii descends on it, clutching her 'claws' into it as she's stabbed a fourth time, biting for its shoulder and neck viciously with glee.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chii bites it, her body finally gives out from all the wounds, and the blood loss
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn, meanwhile, manages to lower the field
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Fucking asshole..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tenses up and he growls hopping forward into a run towrds Sommeliern
<Seraphna> * Wolf runs right with him, fist clenched tightly.
<DeathStar> 6* The two run over a certain part of the floor that, with no warning, attacks them with energy draining attacks, and they cannot escape on their own. Their energy begins to drain rapidly
<Kit> 6Chii slumps over her prey regaining somewhat of a humane look despite being covered in two forms of blood. The aura and effect dies down, perhaps not ready to bank on using it all.
<DeathStar> <Sommelier> Of course, I find you all to be completely retarded
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles, hitting the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin stares as Dias and Wolf begin to die
<Kit> 6Dawn fires for Sommelier, more intent on not hitting friendlies.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Dias! Wolf!
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn's attack hits Sommelier's shield
<Kit> 6Dawn silently curses shields.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and Wolf have lost 40% of their energy
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls in pain.
<Seraphna> * Wolf stumbles and rolls, growling, she refuses to even stop, despite stuck.
<Myria> Ummm...I...I could use my anti-Dark One particfles to try to make the floor let them go, Mr. Palaidn...
<Kit> <Lilith> Raquel, help them. I must maintain our reverse.
<DeathStar> 6* Wolf doesn't move
* Marcus` struggles to stand, trying to get to his feet to help his ex-friend.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Try."
<Seraphna> * Wolf tries dragging herself, uselessly.
* Myria aims and then sprays the floor around Dias and Wolf with the biparticles.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and Wolf have lost 50% of their energy. Myria's attack slows the process down, but doesn't stop it, or let them go
<Kit> 6Dawn shifts the rifle down and runs into the room. No retreating now.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin rushes to save them, but Sommelier fires at him, keeping him from approaching
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Fucking... kill you..."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to fire a holy arrow to distract Sommelier, since there seems to be little she can do to help directly
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC starts running forward now.
<DeathStar> 6* The holy arrow hits the shield, doing nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and Wolf have lost 60% of their energy
<Kit> 6Dawn charges up while Paladin is the distraction and leaps, trying to slam into Wolf without touching the floor.
<Myria> ...please let them go! *sprays more bioparticles*
<DeathStar> 6* DAwn slams into Wolf, freeing her
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC lowers her aim onto the floor and fires into it
<Seraphna> * Wolf rolls free and stands, backing up, moving weakly.
<DeathStar> 6* Together, Myria and SPoC weaken the floor where Dias can move
<Kit> 5Dawn being fit but a girly boy, bounces off Wolf and thuds along the side.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rises panting. He presses onward.
<DeathStar> 6* Wolf and Dias would see things in fashionable blurs.
<DeathStar> 6* The room begins to rumble. Paladin looks around, and Katrina stands finally, getting her weapon ready. She looks confused
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains to peer about
<Myria> ...they're free...not to self...re-tune formula for the particles to be more effective...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles, blurry vision aside.
<DeathStar> 6* A robotic dragon slams through the floor near Sommelier
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Room is all... fuzzy..."
<DeathStar> 6* It looks pretty whacky with how it moves, like it's drunk
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC slides her feet apart to hold her ground
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier stares in disbelief.
<Kit> 6Dawn rolls backward, eyes wide.
* Seraphna stares at the dragon, crying out in recognition, "ZEPH!"
<DeathStar> 6* The head lolls about
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Shoot 'em! Where is he? Fire! Roar.
* Seraphna actually lets out a giggle at Zephyr's words.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus manages to recover.
<Kit> 6Megumi winces wherever she is. 1"Over there. Right there. Right there, I said!"
<Myria> ....uhhhh...?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Roar! 6* She opens her mouth and eats Sommelier.
* Marcus` pulls himself up to his feet, shifting to the side, presses a hand against his side. "...she ate him."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares. "Oh My."
<Kit> <Megumi> Uh. Dragoon Devourer?
<Seraphna> "...Why didn't I ever think of that move?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I wonder what darkone tastes like..."
<Kit> 6Megumi holds up a hand and coughs pollitely.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Zephyr moans pathetically. "My tummy hurts."
<Kit> <Megumi> Perhaps you should not have eaten him.
<Myria> I hope he's not like...going to burst out of her stomach...?
* Seraphna blinks and holds herself up by the hendle of her blade, still on jher knees.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans his forehead against the ground as he rubs his face feriously
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's stomach begins to glow with energy, as if something is attacking it
<Myria> ....ehhhhhh...
<Kit> <Megumi> Ergh! That is ...unwell. Spit him out! Spit him out, I said!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin tenses. "This is bad."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's right!
<Kit> 6Megumi flails. 1"Dragoon Ejection!"
<Marcus`> ...yeah. *he places his free arm on Kat's shoulder. To stablize himself
<Seraphna> "Zephyr! Cough it up!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moans again and the dragon hacks up Sommelier, who is covered in oil and battery fluid.
<Kit> 6Dawn just. Stares.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Shoot him for me, Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* She whines
<Kit> <Megumi> What? How!?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dooooo it!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to peg him with another arrow.
<Kit> 6Megumi panicks and holds her hand up, forming a gun shape with her hand, waving it at Sommelier.
<Kit> <Megumi> Uh. Bang?
<DeathStar> 6* The arrow still hits a shield, apparantly it's still there.
<Seraphna> "...Use your breath weapon. You're a dragon!"
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier rises, cocky. "As if you could possibly hurt me---" 6* Megumi fires the 2x equivalent of a dragoon bustah into him, catching him on fire
<DeathStar> 6* From her claw finger
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier howls, his shield destroyed
<Kit> 6Megumi stares. Then holds up her other hand. 1"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
<DeathStar> 6* More blasts slam into Sommelier, knocking him back
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin watches
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Now!
* Seraphna pulls up her gun and fires at Sommelier.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Zephyr turns back into her normal form, completely naked
<DeathStar> 6* She lands on the floor
<DeathStar> 6* Apparantly that took all her energy
<Kit> 6Megumi lands beside Zephyr, giggling. 1"H-Hey, that was kind of ...fun."
* Myria raises her bioparticle device and sprays down Sommelier...it may not be fully efective, but still!
* Marcus` pulls himself off of Kat and stumbles over to Zephyr, pulling off his coat, which is kinda bloody, but still. He reaches it out to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier is shot by Angela, then hit by Angela. He howls in pain as black flesh is torn away.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lays there, too tired to move
<Kit> 6Dawn stares, then hefts his rifle and aims for Sommelier, firing. Depleted uranium works better without shields.
* Chad-Work has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier begins to form a devastaring attack, targetting everyone, even as Dawn hits him again. PREPARE YOURSELVES
<Kit> <Megumi> Thank you, Zephyrchan. We did it.
* Marcus` shifts and makes a face as he kneels, draping the coat over Zephyr. "Good work, you two."
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Down, Up, Right, Left, Down, Right, Up, Down
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<Chad-Work> rldurudlruldu
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<Marcus`> rldurudlruldu
<Kit> rldurudlruldu
<DeathStar> -0-
<Seraphna> rldurudlruldu
<Ariel> rl+durludlruldu
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel is hit, as is Paladin
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Chad-Work is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* As she's hit, she would find her left arm has gone completely numb
<Kit> 6Megumi wards herself-- and Zephyr and Marcus, then faints against Zephyr.
* Marcus` chuckles weakly. "Good work, you two." He straitens up with a grimace, peering ahead, he pulls out a pistol and begins to charge it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier begins to prepare another attack
* Seraphna brought up her shield just in time it seems, she stares at this non-door enemy. She then retaliates by firing a Red Shell right at him.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel cringes, as her bow clatters to the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin strains to aim, his arm numb
<Kit> 6Dawn adjusts his aim and fires another high-calibur depleted uranium shell for the ol' doc
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC fires once again
<Kit> <Lilith> Raquel," 6She hisses, but maintains the reverse gravity
* Marcus` shifts and jerks his arm forward, throwing the pistol at Sommelier, letting it overload and explode on him.
* Seraphna doesn't shoot it seems, damn trigger refuses to pull with her current state...
<DeathStar> 6* Sommelier is hit by a wave attacks again. He begins to bleed heavily, stumbling. He forms a dark matter and throws it into the gravity well, and he suddenly fades into the shadows
<Kit> <Lilith> Grah!
<DeathStar> 6* The dark matter ball begins to expand
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes it
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "DIAS!"
<Kit> 6Lilith cuts off her move.
<Seraphna> "T-Time to run..."
<DeathStar> 6* IT suddenly begins to implode
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to the feeling of the energy. 1"I feel it."
<Kit> <Lilith> He used my ability to accelerate it! MOVE!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel grabs her bow in her free arm and moves away as quick as she can
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin picks up Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stumbles to move
* Seraphna is unable to move. She gulps.
* Marcus` widens his eyes. He kneels down and struggles to lift up the two and drag them back away from it.
<Seraphna> * Wolf gets up and starts running.
<Marcus`> Get Angela!
* Myria blinks and tries to help Sera move out of there!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Where is she?
<DeathStar> 6* CHAAAAAOS~!
<Kit> 6Dawn grabs Angela by the shoulders, eyeing Myria and runs.
<DeathStar> 6* The room is destroyed by a dark matter ball, and everything goes dark
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* As the team recovers, they would find part of the mountain has collapsed around them, burying them, but it seems they managed to get away, as did Sommelier
* Marcus` coughs, groaning, his eyes closed still.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion's aura can be felt
* Seraphna mumbles and holds her head, laying near Dawn.
<Myria> ...ummm...anyone else here...?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits up, pushing debris. The sky still can't be seen, so most of the mountain is intact still. He peers about
<Seraphna> * Wolf pulls herself up slowly, "That creepy ass feeling again..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs up, her black eyes glowing. She looks bad
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans against something, blood running down the side of his head and his side.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts rock off
* Marcus` slowly opens his eyes. "Anyone...dead?"
<Myria> I hear Miss Wolf.
<Kit> 6Megumi snaps her eyes open, groaning. 1"... Near.."
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC helps free Katrina
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lays off to the side, unconscious
* Seraphna holds her head. "Whoever I copied... fucking goddamnit how do you handle the pain?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Ignore it... used to it...
<DeathStar> 6* Legion walks forward, dragging Erevis, toward them.
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head and focuses on Angela. 1"Huh?"
<Kit> 6Megumi's eyes trail toward Legion and widen.
<Myria> ...ummm...its...him...
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at them, eyeing them, as if she's just as afraid of them, or suspicious, as she is of Legion
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Legion
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stops as she sees the figure approaching them.
<DeathStar> <Legion> .... 6* He begins to walk away with Erevis
<Seraphna> "Erevis..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias struggles to stand, his leg's buckling. 1"Leave her"
<DeathStar> 6* Legion looks at him. "We will kill you if you interfere. She is ours."
* Seraphna slowly pulls herself up, groaning in pain.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like hell. 6He spits out blood onto the floor.
* Marcus` slowly realizes Legion is coming and quickly attempts to pull himself up to his feet. Wincing, not really moving at all.
<Seraphna> "F-Fuck no..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves into a satchel and pulls out a green sphere, and forms an emerald weapon in the form of a sword, and stabs at LEgion, but he grabs her arm before she can, squeezing
<DeathStar> <Legion> Stop.
<Seraphna> * Wolf reaches for a gun, finding one of her rifles she starts to charge it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets out a yelp and drops her emerald sword
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Put her down now. 6He takes a step forward, stumbling.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin checks his gun, but it's been damaged.
<Kit> 6Megumi scrambles away from Marcus, moving along toward Legion and Erevis quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion looks at Dias, his red eyes flaring. "We will kill yo."
* Marcus` strains. "...no. You won't be killing...at all."
* Seraphna coughs a bit and whimpers, "Xan... let her go... damnit..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Dias and Megumi, looking at them, as if she's seeing strangers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like hell you will. 6He looks at Erevis. 1"Whatever he told you is a crock of shit."
<DeathStar> 6* Legion doesn't react to the name
<DeathStar> 6* Legion aims at Dias with his hand and fires a dark beam
<Kit> 6Megumi leaps while he's occupied with Dias and grabs for the emerald weapon that dropped, rolling.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina activates her energy sword and moves in for Legion
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias twists to the side, the dark beam, carving across the top of his chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion aims at Dias again, firing another beam
<Kit> 6Megumi gets to her feet, reaching back with her left hand, pulling out the other. Never leave home without it!
<Seraphna> * Wolf holds her aim, not wanting to hit Dias or Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves in and comes in for LEgion's side, slashing. He twists, as if he might use Erevis as a shield, but instead lets the slash hit his side, and it does bareyly anything
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles and falls onto his back as the shot flies by
* Seraphna slumps back a little, whimpering in pain.
* Marcus` attempts to get to his feet, despite everything he has went through.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion smashes his fist into Katrina's face, sending her falling
<DeathStar> <Paladin> What a monster.
<Myria> ....we're in trouble, I think...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls onto his stomach and starts to stand again, red/black blood dripping onto the ground from the wound across his chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion faces Megumi, inhert hatred on his face
<DeathStar> <Legion> We will kill yo
<DeathStar> 6* His back is facing the others
<Kit> 6Megumi forges both emerald weapons into blades resembling her zanbatos, then turns them outward and brings the hilts together, making it a two-bladed sword like she'd been practicing with. She takes a step, then begins dashing toward him again, one hand held before her with a flat palm, the other dragging the new weapon effortlessly.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Try to hit him.
<Kit> <Megumi> I am taking her back!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to open a ripple to stab Legion in the back of the neck, now that the mountain is gone.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Understood. 6She takes aim and fires a charged shot for Legions shoulder.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers toward Paladin like he's nuts, then twitches and leans, bringing up his rifle with a sigh.
<DeathStar> 6* The mountain is mostly still there, but apparantly what was doing the ripple blocking was destroyed, and he's stabbed in the neck
<DeathStar> 6* Legion howls in pain, momentarily distracted by the attacks to hit Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* I mean, don't you people WANT Legion to kill her?
<Seraphna> * Wolf takes a shot at Legion's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion drops Erevis, roaring in rage
<Kit> 6Megumi leaps and turns, spinning the dual blade down in a strike for Legion. While it's turning it has more momentum in a swing.
* Marcus` gets to his feet, swaying slightly, he grips the ripple blade tightly, he begins to stumble forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lands in a kneeling position, freaked out
<Seraphna> * Wolf aims high, going for a head shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi strikes Legion with the emerald sword, carving into his flesh for an actual damaging strike. Legion stumbles away, and howls in anger, and in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* He then teleports away
<Kit> 6Megumi lands and turns, swinging the otherside around for a stab-- at air!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin lets out a sigh of relief. They ran off the monster.
<Kit> 6Dawn lowers his rifle, wondering if they're done now.
* Seraphna lays there, she seems to be crying.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at them all, taking a step back. "Where am I, and...who are you all?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands there, his hand holding his chest, the front and side of his hoody covered in blood.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts a hand on Angela's shoulder
<Seraphna> Wolf> "We're the good guys."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at that answer
* Marcus` kneels down. "You don't remember us?"
<Kit> 6Megumi jabs the dual blade into the ground and leans on it, heaving. She peers toward Erevis. Memory loss-- again!?
<Myria> Why doesn't Miss Erevis recognize us?
* Seraphna slowly opens her eyes, looking at Kat. Tears wettig her cheeks.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It is possible Legion did something to her memory.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may look like my friends and allies, but you are not them. They were at a military base.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Time has passed Erevis.
<Kit> <Megumi> Some of us were.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Dias. "How...much time has passed...?" 6* She asks meekly.
<Kit> <Megumi> Beloved... you have returned. Finally.
<Seraphna> * Wolf grumbles and holds her bloody shoulder.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "What year do you last remember?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh god, I'm not good with dates.
<DeathStar> 6* She doesn't react to the name
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what happened to her..?"
* Seraphna speaks quietly, "He's really gone..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was....the 12th month of 10-587.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes...
<Kit> <Megumi> Erevis... Oh, Erevis... That was.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It has been 2 years and 2 months.
<Kit> 6Megumi hurks, dropping to her knees, holding out her hands and catching two spheres as the weapon she formed simply vanishes, then doubles over.
<Marcus`> February. 10-589.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at MEgumi. "Megumi Zhenmei...."
* Seraphna closes her eyes, breathing in slowly, she tries to sit herself up again, groaning at the pain.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks at her, as if studying her, then at Marcus. She blinks. She hestitates, as if afraid to ask a question.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Where is Ariel? I do not feel her presence in my mind. The bond does...not exist...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kneels beside Megumi, checking her condition
* Marcus` lets out a frown. "Ariel has passed."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks. "Passed to where?"
* Kit hacks, covering her mouth after dropping the two spheres beside her, trying to hide the blood on her hands.
<Marcus`> Depends on what religion to believe in. She is dead.
<Kit> NRP: Megumi.
<Marcus`> NRP: you*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares in utter shock.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We need to get back to the base to treat the wounded.
<Seraphna> "He wasn't supposed to... not like this... not..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That'd be much appreciated.
<Myria> And figure out what to do...
<Kit> 6Dawn gazes around for those still out, applying field treatment.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Anyone got a comm to contact that Starr guy?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi, frowning at her condition
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And you are injured.
<Kit> <Megumi> ..I am... fine.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
* Marcus` shifts back to stand, he glances over at Zephyr and put his blade away, moving over to lift her up.
* Seraphna , the other combat medic, slumps back over, body completely out of it.
<DeathStar> 6* The mountain suddenly begins to shake, and rock falls from the ceiling. It seems the base is falling apart
<Myria> Uh-oh!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks up. "Damn. The mountain is coming down."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Spirit, can you get us all out of here?
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Does it ever fucking end?"
<Myria> Its like in the movies and games!
<Kit> 6Dawn flicks Myria in the forehead-- then gets Chii over his shoulders, staring toward the others. Time to go.
* Seraphna doesn't seem to notice, or perhaps care, eyes closed.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar shows up, with a damaged wrist.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Don't forget me!
<DeathStar> 6* He moves over, jogging toward Megumi
<Myria> Owww
<Kit> <Megumi> You." 6She says abrubtly. 1"May not come."
<Myria> Miss Sera, we need to go!
* Marcus` glances around, holding Zephyr. "How do we get out of here?"
<Seraphna> "Can't move..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Spirit?
<DeathStar> 6* Scar stops. "But it's me!"
<Ariel> Raquel> "I... I can't make ripples THAT far..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You have to try.
<Kit> 6Megumi raises one hand weakly and points at Scar. 1"The injury I gave you, like I, does not forget."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the Scar
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and creates a portal that leads as far away as she can manage.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar frowns, then pulls out a gun, aiming at Megumi, firing. Erevis blinks, shifting in front of it
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC snaps her gun up and fire a shot for the Scar's head.
<Seraphna> * Wolf whips up her rifle and fires at this Scar.
<Kit> <Megumi> B-Beloved!
<DeathStar> 6* Scar is shot several times. "Fucking hell!"
<Seraphna> * Wolf shoots him again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her shoulder. "I..will be fine. I have ... a suit under...my cloak..." 6* She notes.
* Marcus` stands there stiffly, hoping Raquel can manage it.
<Kit> 6Lilith cleaves into Scar from behind-- with her soul blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar twitches, then falls over
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel manages to create a portal closer to the surface, but not all the way
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Get the wounded out first.
<Kit> <Lilith> I am not occupied at this time.
* Seraphna tries to stand up and whimpers. "L-Little help?" *She falls back over*
* Myria tries dragging Sera along to Raquel's portal.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps Angela up
<Ariel> Raquel> "Everyone... move quick..."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves through
<Kit> 6Lilith puts her sword away and moves to stand by Raquel.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks around for cheryl
* Seraphna gets up with Kat's help, eyeing Myria pulling her leg.
<Kit> 6Dawn moves out with Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is unconscious
* Myria lets go and follows the pair out, whistling.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis helps Megumi through. "And my name is Erevis."
* Marcus` moves through the portal with Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grimaces and moves over to Cheryl, throwing her over his shoulder, causing blood to ooze out. He starts moving towarsd the portal
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves through quickly
<Seraphna> * Wolf moves through.
<Kit> <Megumi> ..I am sorry. Erevis. My beloved.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps through, a labored look on his face.
* Seraphna moves through with Katrina's help.
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the new area, they would find it collapsing as well.
<DeathStar> 6* As part of the wall gives way, they can see a shuttle ramp extending, with Scar sitting there, and Chad/Aya, Em, and Darien at the controls
* Marcus` glances around "...think you can manage another one Raquel?"
<Kit> 6Dawn leans one datapad up to see where they are on his map.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Need a lift?!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> There. 6He starts moving towards it.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...no." *heads for the shuttle*
* Marcus` pauses. "Nevermind." He moves towards the shuttle with Zephyr.
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, then runs up with Chii
<Seraphna> "Thank God..."
<Ariel> Em> "I think this rates a 8.5 on dramatic rescues."
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves up the ramp.
<Kit> 6Lilith hovers after Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets onto the shuttle, troubled
<Seraphna> * Wolf hops on.
* Myria boards the shuttle.
* Seraphna limps on with Katrina's help, looking downcast despite the rescue.
<DeathStar> <Scar> You guys look like hell
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias get's onto the shuttle and sets Cheryl down. He takes a step back and collapses.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a seat
<Kit> <Chii> ...F-Fuck you, playdough boy.
<Myria> Legion...Xanatos is Legion...
* Seraphna weakly straps in and closes her eyes, quiet.
* Chad`Winters eyes Zephyr and he moves over to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares. "I see...."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Marcus` places Zephyr in a seat. "She's just exhausted."
* Chad`Winters looks at Marcus and nods. He reaches down, checking her pulse.
<Seraphna> "...gone..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes a deep breath, then eyes Erevis darkly
<DeathStar> 6* Her pulse is weak and erratic.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and flies them away from the collapsing mountain
* Marcus` stumbles over to sit down, resting his head back, letting out a breath. "....I need a massage, Kat."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina seems a bit distracted
* Chad`Winters moves through everyone to the back and grabs some medical supplies. He moves back to Zephyr. He glances around for something then just pulls out the bandage wrap and begins covering her areas.
<Kit> 6Dawn goes over and sits as Chii removes herself from him, straining to check on Cheryl.
* Seraphna leans a bit on Kat as she passes out, probably not even knowing where she is.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lies on the shuttle floor, bleeding and sleeping.
<Marcus`> NRP: Marcus' coat should still be draped over her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays to the side, the black veins slowly vanishing
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grips the controls, his thoughts dark and evil toward Erevis. She blinks once, as if sensing them
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Many hours later, the wounded have been brought back to the HQ to be patched up as best they can, with Caduceus working over time. Theron at least has company
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays on a bed, having bursted some internal organs, it seems, and can no longer form a gear on her own
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lays on a medical bed, hooked up.
<Kit> 6Megumi seems to cling to Erevis since she helped her leave the mountain.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits nearby as Megumi got treated, quiet and distant.
<Kit> 6Chii resides over Cheryl with a mean expression, still injured since she's remained rather than wandering off.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien seethes in a rec room, his anger boiling
* Marcus` sits in a chair, having been patched up from his wound on his side, his head is resting against the wall, eyes closed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes to the mean expression
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin works on reports.
* Chad`Winters sits beside Aya, his look dark and troubled.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits there, bandaged, but not as bad as some.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is asleep in a bed, completely exhausted
<Kit> 6Dawn adds to Paladin's information all the mapping he did and analyzations of the gravity room and various traps, then goes to check on Aya.
* Myria bandaged up now, her smart suit having been set to keep her from bleeding out during the battle.
* Seraphna lays in a bed, eyes closed, she hasn't woken since they got back.
* Chad`Winters eyes Dawn dangerously.
<Seraphna> * Wolf sits in the rec room, bandage on her shoulder, watching TV.
<Marcus`> * Theron glances around at everyone curiously, having finally woken up from his mishap.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hello, Mr. Alighieri.
<Kit> 6Dawn holds up a hand in silent greeting.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits outside the medical bay, since Chii is with her Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya offers a weak smile. She seems tired and worn out, and not quite as cheerful as normal
<Kit> 6Chii leans over close to Cheryl's face and snaps. 1"Why were you being so stupid!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flinches, glancing to the side.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias opens his eyes and moves his hand to his forehead.
<Myria> Theron!
* Seraphna opens her eyes and closes them again.
<Kit> <Chii> You could have killed yourself! Again and again!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... So?
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head, glancing over at Myria.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Yes?
<Kit> 6Chii reaches her hands up, clenching them finger by finger as her teeth grind. 1"So what!?"
<Myria> ...ummm....hi.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the things attached to him and pulls them out, moving his legs over the edge of the bed.
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts, then nods. "Greetings."
<Myria> ...this was...kind of messed up...
<Kit> 6Dawn smiles at Aya softly, then shifts to notice Chad and neutralizes, turning to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya frowns sadly.
* Marcus` sits up slightly, glancing over at Katrina. "How you holding up?" He chose to sit outside so as to not get in Duce's way.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the wall
* Chad`Winters glances at Aya and he stands up, his expression shifting to a neutral one.
<Marcus`> <Theron> It would appear so. I apologize that I did not make it.
<Myria> Its ok...I mean... *sigh*
* Seraphna sits up, pulling a bandage off her arm and climbing out of bed.
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head. "But you are well?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm okay, I guess. Are you better?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies him
<Myria> Owwwies, but I'll live.
* Seraphna quietly looks at them all, searching for Zephyr.
<Kit> <Chii> Grrr... We handled it, didn't we?! You don't need to push so hard that your body destroys itself! That's stupid! Utterly fucking stupid!
<Chad`Winters> I'll be right back Aya. 6He moves away, passing by Dawn.
* Marcus` nods once. "Just tired. Didn't realize the pain would get worse as it went on."
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, watching Chad pass.
<Marcus`> * Theron peers at her. "Do you desire I kiss it and make it better?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I got it. I'm an idiot.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mumbles
<Kit> 6Chii grabs Cheryl's sides.
<Myria> Ummm...ok!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces
<DeathStar> 6* She looks at Chii
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slips off and tests the strength of his legs. Happy with it he turns, moving out of the medbay.
<Kit> 6Chii plants her head ontop of Cheryl, sobbing. 1"A really, really, really, really, really, big idiot!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Yeah. It looked pretty bad."
<Marcus`> * Theron leans forward, then pauses. "It would appear...I am unable to more forward."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya watches her dad go
<DeathStar> <Aya> Okay, Daddy...
* Marcus` gives her a half-smile. "It's a small price to pay. Right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Chii awkwardly.
* Seraphna walks over and sits next to Zephyr's bed, looking down at her knees.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... stop crying....
* Myria moves over to Theron.
<Kit> 6Megumi dozes quietly despite the racket.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You shouldn't push yourself so hard, Marcus. We're a team. You can count on the rest of us to take up the slack
<Kit> 6Chii grips tighter. 1"No! You're being stupid so I have to let it out! Hrmph!"
* Chad`Winters walks past Kat and Marcus and down the hall.
<Marcus`> * Theron reaches out, albeit slowly, and takes Myria's hand, then kisses it. "Did it work?"
<Kit> 6Dawn turns and eyes Aya, frowning, since he's now confused by Chad.
<Marcus`> I know, I know. But...I dunno. If I don't try my best, I might let someone down. I can't have that.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She looks at Dawn. "You okay?"
* Seraphna looks over eyes quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces more. "..... .....I hate crying."
<Kit> 6Dawn nods slowly. He got off easy compared to the lot. He moves back over and sits beside Aya.
<DeathStar> <Aya> That's good.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes the floor.
<Kit> 6Chii wails, probably spitefully, louder.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Trying your best doesn't mean you have to push your body that hard, though
<Myria> ...a little.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once. "Good. I am proud to have assisted in your recovery."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes, looking miserible, her body tense. She looks as if she's ready to scream herself. Maybe cry. Who knows. But after what happened to her, and Chii crying, it's clear she's freaking out
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of the medbay now, he eyes the bandages around his chest.
<Kit> 6Chii gropes Cheryl.
<Myria> Other hand hurts too!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks. "What the fuck are you doing?!" 6* She opens her eyes
<Marcus`> Alright, alright. *he gives Kat a smile* I'll be sure to remember that.
<Kit> 6The wailing stopped at some point, Chii is silent, frowning at her. 1"Don't you do that! I'm not finished with you!"
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses and takes Myria's other hand and kisses it as well. Then looks at her as if to find out if it worked this time as well.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at her, tensed, as if unsure what Chii means
<Kit> 6Dawn rubs his head, gazing toward Aya again. He reaches out, offering a closed hand to her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Good. 6* She nods
<Myria> Better!
* Seraphna gently brushes some hair out of the girl's face and then looks down again, letting her rest. Her thoughts all to herself, looking gloomy.
<Kit> 6Chii softens, giving a worried expression. 1"Y-You'll be fine, right? I-I'll be good, so... Don't leave..?"
<Marcus`> * Theron bows his head. "You are welcome."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not leaving.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, peering at the hand, then holds out her hands, cupped
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps her dark eyes glued to Chii's, not having got contacts yet
* Marcus` lets out a breath. "So Kat. Once everything settles down, you want to go on a date?" He shifts his head to look at her.
<Myria> Ummm..when will you be better?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Marcus, silent a moment. "Sure. That would be nice."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tugs at his bandages and sighs. He moves past Marcus and Kat.
<Kit> 6Chii leans over and nests against Cheryl. 1"Good... I don't like it when you go away."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens her eyes after being touched
<Kit> 6Dawn opens his hand, dropping several stone fragments into Aya's hands of a green color.
* Marcus` nods. "Thank god. I thought you were going to reject me." he pauses and laughs. "You know how I hit the ice cream when I feel rejected."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at them, blinking. "What are they?
<Marcus`> <Theron> I am...unsure. *he glances at the bandages covering most of his body, then touches the patch on his face* I due time, I shall be alright.
<Marcus`> NRP: In due time*
* Myria nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tiredly peers at Angela
<Kit> 6Dawn pulls up one of the datapads and initiates a notepad program. With a finger he draws the katakana for "Hisui." Jade.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Though in the meantime, I fear I may not be able to protect you.
* Seraphna blinks a little and looks at Zephyr, giving her a weak smile.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh. They're very pretty. Thank you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yawns. "Hi, Angela."
<Kit> 6Megumi grasps around with her left hand.
* Marcus` clears his throat. "I was ranting again. Sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods once, then smiles. "At least you realize it."
* Seraphna quietly asks, "Are you feeling better...?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Tired.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't notice the hand
<Myria> I'll be ok.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus takes a coffee break
<Marcus`> I can't be perfect all the time. Doesn't mean I won't work at it. *he chuckles, then moves to stand but winces and leans back*
<Marcus`> <Theron> It does not mean that I shall not worry.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> One can never be perfect.
<Seraphna> "Should rest more then..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "How is Megumi?"
* Seraphna smiles still, her eyes slowly looking down at the sheets.
<Marcus`> But we've always gotta strive for perfection. No sense in settling if we can become better.
<Seraphna> "Haven't seen her... I'll check for you..."
<Myria> I'm a big girl! *poses*
<Kit> 6Megumi eventually rouses, looking disturbed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances over. "Hello, Megumi Zhenmei."
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head. "Perhaps. Though I do not recall seeing any of the others pose. Not even little Raquel."
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Beloved..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is not my name.
<Kit> 6Megumi looks hurt, then sighs.
* Seraphna slowly stands up, "Rest... I'll find her..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, closing her eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That is true
* Seraphna begins her hunt for the Megumi creature.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies her expression of hurt.
<Kit> 6Megumi closes her eyes slowly, attempting to tell Zephyr <She does not remember.> like she did with Ariel, then opens them again. 1"..Do you at least remember the lake?"
<Marcus`> You won't let Chii hurt me when she finds out we're going on a date, will you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I agreed to consider the possibility of the two of us perhaps dating in the future.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down, having a datapad in her lap
<Kit> <Megumi> Wrong.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that not what I agreed to?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, thinking
<Kit> 6Megumi looks sternly. 1"I fought so that you would not disavow it in the event it was 'best for me.'"
<Myria> They are not me!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at her. "I see."
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not care what ill fate becomes because it is something I have decided. The rest is up to you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks. <Oh.>
<Marcus`> <Theron> No ma'am. That they are not.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> OF course.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head slightly.
* Myria nod nods!
* Marcus` smiles at Katrina and then takes in a breath and in a low grunt, he lifts himself up. "Wow that's smarts." He winks at Kat. "I'm going to go lay down."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Take it easy.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back down at the datapad, her expression concerned
<Marcus`> A bubble bath doesn't sound so bad either. *he pauses* Did that sound gay?
<Kit> <Megumi> You have not said anything, Erevis." 6She says, sounding a bit unsettled.
* Seraphna walks over, moving quietly up by Meg and Ere.
<Kit> 6Dawn reaches over and pats Aya's head, smiling, then goes to leave, that Chad may return.
<Marcus`> * Theron sits there quietly before he clears his throat. "Thank you for visiting Miss Myria. I did not think I would have visitors."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What would you have me say? 6* She states.
<Myria> Why not?
<Kit> <Megumi> That I have grown! That I look a bit more attractice! Hrmph!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Just a little.
<Kit> 6Megumi turns slightly, crossing her arms, puffing her cheeks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at her, blinks once, confused. "Yes. You have grown."
* Marcus` sighs. "Don't mention it to anyone else. I've got a rep to protect." He chuckles, and then moves off towards his room.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You are busy with your work.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... ....6* She shifts, eyeing the ceiling, her mind heavy with thoughts; thoughts she'd never share
<Kit> 6Megumi peers over her shoulder. 1"My breats have too, but you still win."
<Myria> My lab, yes...but...I needed bandages too.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head. "Yes. I am sure they are bigger. Please, excuse me." 6* She bows her head to Angela, who has come in. "Angela Bennet has come in to see you." 6* She steps out, and as she does, Angela can see she is reviewing history files.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya watches Dawn go. "Good bye."
* Seraphna waves as though her arm was dead, trying to smile. "...Zephyr was looking for you."
<Kit> 6Dawn holds a hand up, waving.
* Chad`Winters steps back in, two bottles in his hands. He moves past Dawn and over to Aya, holding one out to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya takes it. "Thank you." 6* She holds it, not opening it yet
<Marcus`> * Theron nods. "I see. Forgive me if I was rude."
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes off a depressed look, shifting toward Angela. 1"Oh... th-then I should go see her.."
<Kit> 6Megumi slides off the bed, nearly hitting the floor, wobbles to her feet and makes a drunken walk out of the medical bay
* Chad`Winters sits down and opens his bottle of water, taking a drink from it as he slumps ino the chair
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* Looks at Chad, picturing the Chad Scar, and then the floor
<Myria> Its ok!
* Seraphna moves over and silently helps her up. "Are you in any condition to be walking...?"
<Marcus`> * Theron rests back. "My eyes seem to be getting heavy. Perhaps I'm not as rested as I thought."
* Chad`Winters sets the bottle of water down and leans foward, a troubled look reappearing on his face. He puts his hands to his face as he stares at the floor.
<Kit> <Megumi> Unlikely." 6She admits. 1"But I would like to see Zephyr."
<Myria> Well...sleep well, ok?
<Seraphna> "Then I'll help you."
<Kit> 6Megumi peers up at Angela resentfully, then nods.
* Seraphna helps Megumi by acting as a crutch, leading her to Zeph.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finds a quiet spot, eyeing the data files of Ariel's last mission that led to her death. And her own.
<Marcus`> * Theron bows his head. "I shall. ANd you should, as well."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the datapad with a troubled frown.

Session Close: Thu May 08 23:03:05 2008

Session Start: Thu May 08 23:15:15 2008
Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080508.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.2.19
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Later that evening after the mission...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is in her room, meditating
* Seraphna stays by Zephyr's bed, if she's still in it.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Creeping
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has left the medical bay, despite it being bad for her, and is in the training room, trying to punch a bag
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sits in the training room, watching Cheryl with the oddest look on her face.
<Kit> 6Megumi snoozes, cuddling Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Jennifer. "What?" 6* She snarls.
<Kit> 6Dawn knocks on Katrina's door.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Please enter. 6* She calls out
<Kit> 6Dawn opens the door and enters, closing it then holding a hand out and pollitely bowing.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus stares at Raquel
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Nothin, just watching."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans forward from her spot on the bed, taking his hand and shaking it. "Hi, Dawn."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's with the look? 6* She seems unnerved
<Kit> 6Dawn smiles slightly, then looks serious. Seems he came troubled.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What's on your mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Her blue eyes, since she has contact lenses again, peer at Jennifer
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts, holding Megumi gently. It's hard to tell if it's like a lover, or like Megumi's a surrogate sister
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sips his coffee, leaning in closer to Raquel
<Kit> 6Dawn peers at Katrina; wanting to take her up on the offer to explore any possibilities he might have as a survivor.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, smiling. "Of course. Here, sit on the bed with me."
<Kit> 6Dawn jerks slightly, caught offguard, then nods and moves to sit beside her.
<Ariel> Raquel> "... ... ...you can be rather creepy some times."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Just... thinking to myself."
<Kit> 6Lilith the malamute leans forward and growls quietly at Caduceus invading her lady's space.
* Seraphna looks over Zeph and Meg quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus tosses Lilith a sassage that smells especially good to her, then jots down a time on a notepad
<Kit> 6Lilith snaps her head up and gobbles it, whining contently-- accepting the bribe.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> I've been thinking, Raquel, that you need to make friends your own age. As useless as she may be, the Carmichael girl may be good. Though I'd recommend the Winters girl."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes back to hitting the bag with her damaged knuckles.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Shouldn't you be resting?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a breath, letting it out. "Okay, we need to find out what type of powers you may have."
<Kit> 6Megumi adjusts, bringing her in closer to Zephyr, her arms draping upward, one hand cradling Zephyr's head, the other down along a thigh, one leg over her hip-- It's looking worse.
<Kit> 6Dawn inclines his head, giving Katrina a doubtful look.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you... do not think my current friends are good enough?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> First, you need to clear your mind. Then I want you to focus on trying to hear what I'm thinking. Focus on me with your mind, trying to hear my thoughts. Your goal is to use your mind like an ear, but at the same time, it's an ear that has to work at pushing pass a barrier. The barrier being what keeps your mind from mine
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Other than Lilith, who can you really call a friend?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ponders a moment. Well, there was... um...
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you have a point."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps in and glances at Zephyr and Megumi together. Zephyr shifts her forehead, so her lips are closer to Megumi's lips.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shouldn't you be in bed?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head as she looks at the two.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...B-Beloved..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmm...cookie...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They have strange names for each other.
<Kit> 6Dawn stares at Katrina incredulously, then turns and focuses on her-- like trying to look through her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Close your eyes while you do it, and work on controlling your breathing. This could take a long time. 6* She closes her own eyes, opening her mind to Dawn. She reaches out, taking his hands into her own
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "It's not my bedtime."
* Jackieness has left #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts, hitting the bag harder
* Seraphna chuckles softly. "They do."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches the two silently, looking as if she is lost and sad.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus nods. "Good. You should work on it immediately."
<Kit> 6Dawn blinks-- then nods, closing his eyes. He jerks a bit when Katrina takes his hands, then takes a deep breath, relaxing almost insanely quick.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus slips her some credits. "Use this to bribe them, if you must."
<Kit> 6Megumi seems to smile. 1"...Red... beautiful..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> When Megumi Zhenmei awakens, tell her I have exited the base. 6* She bows her head
<DeathStar> 6* She steps out
<Seraphna> "Wait..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has already stepped out; Angela will have to pursue
* Seraphna gets up and pursues her alright, moving faster then before.
<DeathStar> 6* Time ticks away for Dawn, and so far the only thoughts he might hear are his own
<DeathStar> 6* Angela catches up to her in the hallway easily.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel blinks at the credist, but nods. "I... will speak to Aya. It seems... less dangerous."
<Kit> 6Dawn finally opens one eye, looking a little irritated, but not surprised.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus gives Lilith another sassuage, and rubs her belly. "A wise choice."
<Seraphna> "Ere..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You cannot give up so easily.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps moving, since that is not her full name.
<Seraphna> "Erevis."
<Kit> 6Lilith, the temporary traitor, rolls onto her side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then turns. "Yes, Angela Bennet?"
<Seraphna> "I have a place for you to stay... it's kinda your house."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would I stay at your place? I have my own home.
<Seraphna> "...It... ummm... I'm living there."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shakes her head a little at Lilith. So fickle.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "You are living in my home?"
<Seraphna> "Well... your new one."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ... do not have a new house.
<Seraphna> "It's a long story, but Legion sort of destroyed your old one."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6* She peers at the floor. "I see."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus seems amused at Lilith, and scratches her behind the ears.
<Seraphna> "There's some money set aside for you, it's yours too, so you can support yourself."
<Kit> 6Lilith seems to accept it up to a point, then spots Raquel and straightens. There's no more sausages, after all.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I see."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus turns back to his work. "Let me know how your assignment goes."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head. "Then I will accept living with you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Until I can buy my own place.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers at Katrina, troubled by the fact he felt... NOTHING... and has nothing to focus on to keep trying.
<Seraphna> "Very well... I should go with you, the third roomie is ummm... kinda odd."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, "I will." 6She hurries off to find Aya's to look up Aya's number
<Kit> 6Lilith looks back at Caduceus.
<Kit> 6Megumi nibbles on Zephyr's ear.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles and wiggles.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Trust me. I'll help yo
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the medical room. "We can wait until Alpha Zephyr awakens, if you desire."
<Kit> 6Dawn smiles. It's not really a matter of trust. Katrina was there-- at that time-- she has more trust than she probably realizes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winks at him, meaning something else.
<Kit> 6Dawn headtilts, lost.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Close your eyes, Dawn.
* Seraphna looks back and nods, smiling her thanks, she didn't really want to leave yet. "I can tell you about Drasek then."
<Kit> 6Dawn frowns slightly, then closes his eyes again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Now, try to touch my mind.
<Kit> 6Dawn pokes Katrina in the forehead.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Cute. 6* She smiles.
* Seraphna walks with her back to the medical bay.
<Kit> 6Dawn grins, then rubs his head and relaxes again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would like that, but perhaps in a bit. 6* She bows her head. Since she isn't walking to the medical bay.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have some things I wish to discuss with the General.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes his hands again
<DeathStar> 6* Assuming Raquel is looking up Aya's information to get her number, it is quite easily done
<Kit> 6Expecting it, Dawn doesn't freak out, and keeps attempting various methods he thinks should work.
<Seraphna> "Very well."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina uses her mind to reach out and touch Dawn's mind, forming a link. Dawn can feel Katrina's feelings - she's amused and curious
* Seraphna smiles to her walks back, sitting besides Zephyr again.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel was going to try the CSI method, but... she gets lazy, looks up the number, and calls Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Getting lucky that Chad didn't answer, Aya picks up the phone. "Moshi Moshi, this is Aya Winters. How may I help yo?"
<Kit> 6Dawn jerks back slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina soothes him through the link
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl continues to abuse the bag and herself
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is still latched to Megumi, asleep, with a smile on her face
<Kit> 6Dawn calms, but issues a good deal of confusion. It seems he deals with panic and such well for the most part, or has practice with controlling it, but it doesn't stop surprise.
<Kit> 6Megumi likewise keeps her questionable poise about Zephyr, snuggling.
<Ariel> Raquel> "Hello... Aya? This is Raquel." She hesitates a moment, "I... was wondering if you'd like to do something. It's kinda dead around here..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina talks to him through the link. <You okay?>
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, her voice surprised. "Oh, h-hi Raquel. Um, it's kind of late, and I---" 6* Well, after being tortured by the Scars, she's tired. "I wouldn't mind doing something tomorrow, maybe, if you want."
* Seraphna pulls out a datapad, taking pictures.
<Kit> <...Yeah. This is new.>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts, ducking her face into Megumi's chest
<Seraphna> * Jennifer gets up, yawning. "I think I will go to bed..."
<Kit> 6Dawn takes a deep breath.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Sure.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at her, "You should too..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Yes. The fact you can do this means you do have talent.>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Sure. 6* She repeats, probably not even really listening
<Kit> 6Megumi utters a further questionable sound, mewls, then wraps her arms around Zephyr, squeezing.
<Kit> <Dawn> <Why is that...? Isn't this something you are doing?>
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Abusing yourself isn't smart."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <I'm only helping to support it. You have to have the talent to actually manage to talk back with me.>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, I get it. I'm fucking stupid.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Stubborn and probably guilt ridden, or something, but not stupid."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Sure.
<Kit> 6Dawn seems to indulge in a bit of excitement. It's subtle, but there. 1<Interesting..>
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I understand. Tomorrow then."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Okay. Um. What would you like to do?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, pleased he's excited. <Yeah.>
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "The attitude isn't cool either..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes, stepping away from the bag and walking away. "Fine. I'll go."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer crosses her arms and nods slightly.
<Ariel> Raquel> *pauses. Not sure about this part* "How about... give me a call tomorrow, and we'll figure out then?" *Doesn't want to risk getting Chad*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks past Jennifer and leaves
<DeathStar> <Aya> Okay. What's your number?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer walks out after her, and down the hall.
* Seraphna keeps snapping photos.
<Kit> 6Dawn's mood turns sour, his thoughts seeming to grow a bit dim.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the door to her room, walking in
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <What's wrong?> 6* Her concern is there
<Kit> "Kukuku..." 6Cheryl's room taunts from the dark.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel almost gives Aya the number for the base, but corrects herself and gives her real number.
<Kit> <Dawn> Fiore." 6He says aloud. 1<She ...was like you."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Okay. 6* She repeats it to make sure she has it. "I'll call you tomorrow, then."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <In what way?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the darkness, her body tensing, fear spiking
<Kit> <Chii> I was almost drunk waiting for you... Hohoho...
<Kit> 6Dawn relaxes somewhat. 1<She was 'talented' as you put it. Though now that I think about it... when we were little she would often help me with things I wished to learn.>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't really relax, and her fear doesn't really ebb. It can still be a Scar, or hell, the real Chii. The door closes behind her. "Chii?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <It must have been nice, to have a sister that cared about you.>
Session Close: Fri May 09 00:00:00 2008


Session Start: Fri May 09 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #taw
<Ariel> 6* Raquel flops down, wondering just what to do come tomorrow.
<Kit> <Dawn> <Past... tense...>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used it that way.> 6* She feels bad that she did that.
<Kit> 6Dawn declines steadily!
<Kit> <Dawn> <It's true anyway. You saw what she did. I know I arrived late but... She must have known I was around.>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Despite what's happened, I'm sure she still cares about you. Love doesn't go away. Just the circumstances.>
<Kit> <Dawn> <She left. Without a word. To be honest, I felt like she was nearby before that ever occured, but never anything...>
<Kit> <Dawn> <Why would she have avoided me so long? Especially if I.. If I really was crazy.>
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to comfort him with her mind, and with her hand, letting it hold his with care. <I don't know. But when you find her, you can ask her.>
<Kit> <Chii> Damn straight." 6Sound of a bottle and gulping.
<Kit> <Dawn> <Haa haa. Very funny. I can't talk."
<Kit> <Dawn> <Or at least... I don't want to.>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <But you can link your mind with her's, once I teach you better.>
<Kit> 6Amusement fills Dawn's mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves and turns on a desk lamp to give some light
<Seraphna> * Jen knocks on Raquel's door.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel glances towards the door from the bed, "...yes?"
<Seraphna> Jenn> "It's Jennifer... can I come in?"
<Ariel> Raquel> *nods... realizes Jen can't see that, then answers* "...alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Curiousity fills Katrina's.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer opens the door and steps inside, "Hey..."
<Kit> <Dawn> <Until I know for certain what I've done and where I lie in things... my voice means nothing. Perhaps only Fiore knows what I've done.>
<DeathStar> 6* Some fatigue sets it with Dawn, from using his ability like this for the first time.
<Kit> <Dawn> <That being the case... I must find ...her..." 6His grip weakens and he falls toward Katrina.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...Hello."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina catches him, putting her arms around him to support him, gently shifting him so he can lay on the bed. "You'll find her; and I'll help you train your mind to become stronger."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "So... umm... Natalie suggested I make more friends..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, moving toward her bed to sit down
<Kit> 6Dawn seems at ease, and quickly falls asleep.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...she did?" *frowns, conspiracy sense tingling*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'Y-yeah... why?"
<Kit> 6Chii sits beside Cheryl's bed, wavering drunkenly, a bottle of plum sake hanging limply in her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope sticks his head into the bedroom. "Forced plot!"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope exits.
<DeathStar> NRP: Raquel's bedroom
<Ariel> Em> *in the hall* "Pope. I believe the term is 'railroading'."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shakes her head, "No... no reason."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer blinks and looks over at the door. "What..."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Really? 6* He pulls out his dictionary, flipping thrugh it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches her
<DeathStar> 6* Then snatches the sake, greedily drinking it, as if needing it
<Ariel> 6* Raquel has learned to ignore random fourth wall breaking.
<Kit> 6Chii's eyes are bleary, barely open and she looks all giggly and blushes as Cheryl snatches the nearly empty bottle away from her. 1"H-hey... that's mine, heehee..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes it off, tossing the empty bottle back on the floor next to her
<DeathStar> 6* She relaxes again
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "So... hey." *she smiles awkwardly*
<Ariel> Raquel> "...hello."
<Kit> 6Chii grins. 1"Hey, let's go a round. Heehee..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You want to fight?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at her, her tone unsure
<Kit> 6Chii throws her hands up. 1"Yeeeah!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her even more oddly. "I thought you said I was stupid for overdoing it."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'I'm... kinda bad at this... sorry. What kinda stuff do you like to do?"
<Kit> <Chii> C'mon. You chickenin' out? Ahaha!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers and stands up. "Fine."
<Kit> <Chii> Cool.
<Ariel> Raquel> "Well... reading is nice."
<Kit> 6Chii goes to get up; fails.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl approaches Chii, reaching for her throat
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'I like that too, how about music play anything?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, and shakes her head, "...not very good at that."
<Kit> 6Chii hurks as she's throttled, only having gotten halfway up and stumbling against the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lifts Chii and throws her onto the bed
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Hmmm... like TV? Movies? Games?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shakes her head again, "I don't watch those often..."
<Kit> 6Chii squeals as she topples on the bed, thrashing lightly to roll over.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer takes a seat, "Got a favorite book?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> PAthetic.
<Kit> 6Chii begins laughing again.
<DeathStar> 6* She gets on the bed and pushes Chii so she rolls off
<Kit> 6Chii snatches Cheryl's wrist.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, blinking in surprise
<Kit> 6Chii turns her head, smiling cheshirely. Tiny wisps of dark starting to form about her body. 1"Heehee, sorry I'm disappointing you. I'll try harder." 6She clenches her grip a bit, moving in on painful rather than merely holding.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a sound of pain
<Kit> <Chii> Is it enough for you?
<Kit> 6Chii laughs cruelly, digging her fingernails slightly as she pulls. 1"Hee, I'd hate for you to be bored."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't respond, though her fear is building slightly again now. She grinds her teeth in pain
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes a while to ponder, then shakes her head, "No... not really. Elysium was pretty good. Lianne Chu is a good writer."
<Seraphna> * Jenn smiles, "It was, myself, Rider is a favorite of mine."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, "...I didn't read that one. What's it about?"
<Kit> 6Chii twists and looms over Cheryl, grinning,
<Kit> <Chii> Is that all? I thought you agreed, where's the fight...? Hoho...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stop. 6* She says finally, her voice quiet.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'I was a political war fiction, it talked a lot about wars well... a lot like the one we're in."
<Kit> 6Chii freezes-- After beginning to exude the aura of tapping into Asmodeus, it dies rather abrubtly and she stares, leaving only the lingering scent of alcohol.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns her face to the side
<Kit> 6Chii hiccups, her hand leaving Cheryl's wrist to cover her mouth. She slumps.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, "...I never liked warstories too much. Maybe because we're living one..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her damaged wrist with her other hand, still not facing Chii, glancing away, though her eyes are closed.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I dunno, I always liked em, but then, Carmichael's have been a military family for a long time."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "So... where's your dog at anyhow?" *looks around*
<Ariel> Raquel> "...being a traitor."
<Kit> 6Chii moves after a while, sitting up on the edge of the bed. 1"..."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Traitor?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* Ashamed of herself for being afraid, Cheryl doesn't have the guts to look at Chii, much less speak
<Kit> 6Lilith silently sobs outside the door.
<Kit> <Chii> I see.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her head. 1"So that's how you feel." 6She rises.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Chii.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah..?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... don't go.
<Ariel> Raquel> "She was... mooching."
<Kit> <Chii> Eh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, not liking having to repeat herself. "I said don't go." 6* She mutters.
<Kit> 6Chii grips the end of the bed slightly, then quietly lies back down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. "Unless you don't want to be here."
<Kit> 6Chii neither says anything nor moves.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Huh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes, staring at the wall, her mind a turmoil, that not even Chii could lock onto for a single emotion.
<Kit> 6Chii lifts her arm and outstretches a hand, as if trying to grasp at something in the air.
<DeathStar> 6* Shivering, Cheryl hugs herself, closing her eyes again.
<Kit> <Chii> Don't worry. I won't go.
<Ariel> Raquel> *pauses* "You... don't know what mooching means...?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay. I believe yo.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Like... living off someone else?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Thanklessly?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel considers the wording, then nods, "...that sounds about right."
<Kit> 6Lilith scampers off to feel hurt elsewhere.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel makes a ripple in front of Lilith, leading into the room
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks on, giggling, "Now that's cool."
<Kit> 6Lilith instantly changes, peering at her fingernails like it's what she was doing all along.
<Ariel> Raquel> "Lilith... come here."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays there, reflecting on the past week, in her own way.
<Kit> 6Lilith crosses her arms obstinantly.
<Ariel> Raquel> "Please?"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks between them
<Kit> 6Lilith looks over a shoulder, frowning, then moves over quietly.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel wraps her arms around Lilith, resting against her as she looks to Jennifer. "Lilith was taking food from Duce earlier."
<Kit> <Lilith> I was hungry." 6She says simply.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl falls to sleep, plagued by nightmares
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Oh... I see, so that's what you meant?"
<Kit> 6Lilith scowls a bit, looking insulted still, but since Raquel's leaning on her, lies back against the wall, closing her eyes-- apparently drifting off easily in her drained state from earlier.
* Kit is now known as Kitzzzune
* Kuroichigo has joined #taw
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods. "It is."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *smiles a bit* "It's good you two can still be close when having problems."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly. It was an... unusual relationship.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Well... it's getting late, but we should hang out a bit more... how about tomorrow?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, "I... have already made plans for tomorrow."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Well, whenever you get some time then."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer stands up, stretching. "Rest well Raquel."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, "...alright."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles and steps out, walking down the hall for her room.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.2.20 (The next day for those who can't remember dates)
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* After a night of nightmares, Cheryl stirs slightly, drenched in sweat. She shifts on the bed, her eyes still closed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina casually produces a cup of coffee, holding it under Dawn's nose to awaken him
<Kit> 6Chii's still lying there, one hand across her stomach, the other casually behind her head, eyes staring emptily into the ceiling.
<Kit> 6Dawn winces slightly, then begins to rouse slowly, surprisingly... not a morning person.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes finally, sitting up in the bed, holding her face, as if relieved to be awake again. She doesn't look well rested
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina patiently waits, a smile on face as she gives Dawn time. "The coffee is for you."
<Kit> 6Chii doesn't seem to take notice, or doesn't look, one of the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Chii. "You stayed...."
<Kit> 6Dawn frowns and grumbles silently, taking the coffee after three missed grabs. He takes a drink, then starts choking.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Too strong? 6* She asks in concern.
<Kit> 6Dawn twitches slightly, then looks apologetic. He rumages in one of his utility pockets and dumps several packets of sugar into it.
<Kit> 6Then sips.
<Kit> 6Chii on the other hand, continues staring voidlike toward the ceiling, her eyes unfocused.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, saying nothing more. She gets up and moves into the bathroom, stepping in and closing the door
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ah, you enjoy sugar. I'll remember that
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts, taking a seat next to the bed
<Kit> 6Chii blinks a few times, her irises narrowing for a second, then she shakes her head, gazing around. 1"...Huh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Chii is alone; the sound of a shower can be heard in the bathroom.
<Kit> 6Chii peers toward the bathroom, then sighs and goes back to looking at the ceiling, her eyes drawing vacant again.
<Kit> 6Dawn rubs his head then sits up. After a couple more drinks he realizes where he is and panicks inward slightly, not showing it on his face, but peers toward Katrina, as if considering the night before.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't worry. Nothing happened. 6* She says with a smile
<Kit> 6Dawn waves a hand pollitely, smiling. Heheh, he couldn't have possibly have been thinking that...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just smiles a bit wider.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What? Am I that hedious that the remote possibility you had a wild night with me and forgot is out of the question?
<Kit> 6Dawn blinks and leans back a bit, his expression pulling in a manner that suggests a tight spot to find an answer.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms, raising her left brow
<DeathStar> 6* The shower turns off and Cheryl exits wearing only a towel. She shifts through her clothes drawer, eyeing them
<Kit> 6Dawn reaches up and points square at Katrina's nose, then draws his hand to the left, slowly pointing toward the door.
* Kulix has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tilts her head toward the door, indulging the pointing
<DeathStar> 6* Pulling on a white shirt, minus a bra, and shorts, Cheryl flexes her hands, testing to see how sore they are
<Kit> 6Dawn sets his other hand beneath her chin.
<Kit> 6Chii shakes her head, peering over quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks as he touches her. "Huh?" 6* She begins to turn her head toward him
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers over her shoulder at Chii, locking her eyes onto Chii's.
<Kit> 6Dawn rests his face against her's having moved closer stealthily, and his face against her's, kisses the corner of her mouth with the support of his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks. "Pretty smooth." 6* She speaks after a moment.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kit> 6Dawn sits back, falling back with his hands behind his head, huffing as he does.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at him. "Now that your mind is used to psionically linking, you should continue to practice. Spend the next few days trying to feel people out. But don't invade people's minds. Typically, people gush their thoughts out without meaning to - they think outloud without realizing it, so as a psion, you'll pick up on it without effort. You may even need to teach yourself to tune it out."
<Kit> 6Dawn raises an eyebrow slightly, still looking skeptical.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans back, broadcasting a thought out to him that he shouldn't be so skeptical. And that he's pretty cute when he wakes up in the morning.
<Kit> 6Dawn turns his head away, lifting an arm to rub the back of it, obscuring his expression. He's embarassed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll assume you picked up on that, judging by your reaction. 6* She notes with her smile
<Kit> 6Chii's eyes focus on Cheryl. 1"...Ohayou."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... oh you what?
<Kit> 6Dawn peers back at her with a frustrated expression, sans the sound accompanied with hrmph.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds up her hands, as if to appear harmless.
<Kit> <Chii> G-Good morning..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. Yeah. .... Good morning. 6* She shifts and eyes the floor
<Kit> <Chii> What's wrong? It looks like you're distressed.
<Kit> 6Dawn slides his hand down atop Katrina's. 1<You sure this is what I'll... be good at?>
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina maintains her physical touch with Dawn. <You have to practice to get better. Once I was only good at feeling emotions. I've been working to manipulate objects. I'm still not there, yet. But you have to start small and work your way up. Like anything. If you want to see how far you can go, you have to practice, like anything else.>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, blinking, eyeing Chii again. She shrugs. "I'm fine."
<Kit> <Dawn> <Just seems like there are many people, there are many ways to go about something.>
<Kit> 6Dawn inclines his head. 1<Were you not... affecting physical things for some time now?>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Not me. You may be thinking of someone who looks a bit like me. She can do a lot more than me.>
<Kit> <Dawn> <No. In the facility you were... doing more than merely feeling out thoughts.>
<Kit> <Dawn> <You were like... Fiore.>
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. <I was a bit stemmed from the initial boost of the drug.>
<Kit> <Chii> Mm... If you say so. You don't feel fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts, having had lied, but not really wanting to talk about her feelings.
<Kit> <Dawn> <And not now?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Not as easily. I'm working the muscle to do it more naturally so I don't have to be a drug pusher.>
<Kit> <Dawn> <Muscle?>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Mental muscle. You have to use your mind to move objects, after all.>
<Kit> 6Dawn rubs his head. 1<What if I don't care about that?>
<Kit> <Chii> It's fine." 6She lies her hands behind her head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <If you don't want to try to train your mind to learn telekenetics, then don't focus on it. Besides, you should get feeling and thought reading down first.>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once. "You can go now if you want."
* Chad-UpAndAway has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, you're kicking me out?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You look like you got better things to do
<Kit> <Dawn> <There's two other things I'd like to focus on, but not sure how.>
<Kit> <Chii> Oh? Really?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <What's that>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders again
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kit> <Dawn> <...I have good senses, so I'd like to see what this could offer them. As well as try to develop my own way to keep others from ...reading me. It's unnerving, no offense.>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <None taken. You can build mental blocks, of course, especially the more you get use to how it works.>
<Kit> <Dawn> <My best jobs are done without being seen. If someone can feel my presence, and maybe even do what Fiore did, it's for naught.>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <I understand.>

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, who has said nothing in ages, and moves for the door
<Kit> <Chii> Where're you going, now?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. I should eat.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. There is that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. "That".
<Kit> <Chii> Hmm. Want to go out?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Go where?
<Kit> <Chii> Anywhere. Somewhere with really bad food.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why would I want bad food?
<Kit> <Chii> I mean greasy stuff! Burgers, fries, tempura!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's morning. Why would you eat that for breakfasty.
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-What the hell? You eat better than me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Apparantly.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes. 1"I like sushi."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares. "Okay."
<Kit> <Chii> So let's eat ootoro!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't eat sushi.
<Kit> <Chii> Grrr...
<Kit> 6Chii sits up and throws her hand out. 1"Then what!?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was just going to eat a banana.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches up to shift her bangs back, her black scar visible
<Kit> 6Chii reels. 1"Wh-Wha..!?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? Something wrong with that?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her.
<Kit> <Chii> No." 6She looks upward. 1"Bananas are yummy."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Shrugging, Cheryl moves for the door again
<Kit> 6Chii hops off the bed and stalks her.
<DeathStar> 6* Opening it, Cheryl moves out of her room and down the hallway.
<Kit> 6Chii puts her hands in her pockets and follows!
<DeathStar> 6* As they enter the messhall, Cheryl stops, eyeing Scar at a table, stuffing his face with food, and lets out an involuntary shudder.
<DeathStar> 6* She turns and steps back out, as if it was clearly her intention
<Kit> 6Chii bumps into Cheryl and stares.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, eyeing Chii, shaking her head, as if clearing it.
<Kit> <Chii> So uh. Foods that way." 6She points.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs, trying to play off what's motivating her inside, coiling around her gut. "I figure I'd get a banana from a store." 6* She moves for the hallway
<Kit> <Chii> ...Did I like, totally miss that you were a health nut?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "I plan to buy beer with it."
<Kit> <Chii> Hmm
<Kit> <Chii> Can I get some, too? Hee hee..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't really have an ID.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps outside and moves for her car. "Fine. I'll buy it."
<Kit> 6Chii follows her gleefully. Partially glad she didn't bother to ask how Chii's bought alcohol, even some of it -for- Cheryl, in the past.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets into her car, powering it up. She looks at herself in the mirror and bashes it aside with a quick jab so she doesn't have to see herself and her dark circles
<Kit> 6Chii reaches over and fixes it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glares.
<Kit> 6Chii smiles. 1"Just don't look."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers, reaches up and turns it again to face Chii, and begins to drive
<Kit> 6Chii shifts it back, not bothering to mention she's playing a prank. From Cheryl's point of view, it just shows Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls loudly, reaching up, and pauses, eyeing it instead of the road. She begins to veer toward other vehicles
<Kit> 6Chii casually reaches over and rights the wheel.
<Kit> 6She smiles brightly in the meantime.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, then takes the wheel, cursing at someone who honks at her, telling them what they can do to their mother's vagina, specifically her womb
<Kit> <Chii> Now, now, Cherry. That's quite unlady-like.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not a fucking lady and my name is Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii snickers, leaning on a hand and peering out the window.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's annoyance flares. "Think I'll call you Chiise."
<Kit> <Chii> Eh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? Don't like it? It's like a Cheese.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls up at a store
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. But if you stress it like that it becomes "Chee-say" which I didn't really get. Clever, though!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets out of the car, proud of herself.
<Kit> 6Chii gets out, giggling about something.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? 6* She eyes Chii dangerously.
<Kit> <Chii> You're funny.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I am not.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm trying to piss you off.
<Kit> <Chii> Chiise, haa haa..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl fumes and storms into the store
<Kit> 6Chii stalks after her, hitting her side.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs three cases of beer, and a banana, and slams it on the counter, eyeing the youngish man who stares at her shirt, since she's not wearing a bra.
<Kit> 6Chii makes pssst sounds. 1"Hey, hey! I want some of this. And this!" 6She gestures at midori, a couple varieties of fruit and whiskey combinations and plum sake.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I guess you gave up on not drinking.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has her bring up what she wants as she gets the card ready
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing
<Kit> <Chii> Cherry drinks, why shouldn't I?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. Whatever floats your ass
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pays for the drinks and grabs the bags, moving back for the car
<Kit> <Chii> The hell does that mean?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever you want it to, Cheesey.
<Kit> <Chii> You're my heroine.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts
<DeathStar> 6* Getting back in the car, Cheryl unpeels her banana, eating it
<Kit> 6Chii cracks open a bottle of citrus whiskey and sniffs it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her own bottle of hard liqour, drinking it as she powers up the car and drives
<Kit> <Chii> Aren't you supposed to drive with an open bot-- wait.
<Kit> 6She thinks about that one.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's opened.
<Kit> <Chii> Something's wrong.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her first bottle, despite only being up an hour
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nope
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Drink your shit.
<Kit> 6Chii rolls her eyes and peers out the window, going back to casual.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs a second bottle, opening it so the lid flies at Chii's head
<Kit> <Chii> Hey!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? 6* She drinks her liqour innocently.
<Kit> 6Chii opens a second, just so she can pop the cap at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face, then shakes her alcohol so it splashes on Chii

<DeathStar> -RESUMATION-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face, then shakes her alcohol so it splashes on Chii
* Kuroichigo is now known as Chii
<Chii> You didn't...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pretty sure I just did
* Chii narrows her eyes at Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her second drink, even as the road becomes uneven to her drunken mind
* Chii shifts and pours her drink in Cheryl's lap.
<Chii> There. Cherry-lemonade. I'm sure it's what you taste like, anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it as her shorts becomes super damp. She sighs, since she didn't wear underwear. "Bitch."
<Chii> Fufufu.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dumps the last bit of her drink on Chii's hair/head
* Chii twitches, then pops open the strawberry whiskey, taking a gulp, then taking more, turning her head and spraying .
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her eyes off the road, veering into the other lane, to glare.
<Chii> You did it. You touched the hair.
<DeathStar> 6* A car honks at them as they drive toward each other. She goes for a third bottle
* Chii leans over and elbows Cheryl, both preventing the grab and shifting their direction
<DeathStar> 6* Chii narrowly avoids a collision Cheryl remains oblivions. She jerks again for the bottle
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your hair is crap anyway! 6* She notes with venom
* Chii gasps! Then overturns one of her cases on Cheryl's side, obscuring her beer among fruity liquor
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the breaks.
* Chii stumbles and steadies herself with a hand on the dash
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her dangerously.
* Chii glares back, like only a scorned asian woman could
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back to shift through the fruity drinks to find her hard liquor
* Chii starts to sniffle and snob
<DeathStar> 6* Leaning forward with her drink, Cheryl eyes her with a deadpanned look. "Stop that."
<Chii> B-but.... But...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stop it.
* Chii rubs her eyes with her wrists...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps eyeing her, as if she might panic
<Chii> I c-can't help it... 'Cause...
<Chii> 'Cause Cherry thinks I'm ugly..!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes.
* Chii wails loudly, like some six year old
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets out of the car, despite being parked on the side of the road
* Chii crawls over to the driver said, sniffling. "Wh-where are y-you going, uwah?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't know.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her liquor, moving to the back of the car and sitting on the trunk
<Chii> Y-you're leaving me...?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Until you're done making that noise, yeah.
* Chii begins to chuckle
<Chii> Nh, nnahah. Ahaahaa!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances over her shoulder.
* Chii grins back at her. "Cherry's weakness!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns more, getting more annoyed. She looks away.
<Chii> Cho kawaii... Ehee hee...!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. I'll remember the next time you're fucking crying, it's an act
* Chii lounges across the seats, continuing a bottle
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets off the trunk and moves back into the driver's seat
* Chii shifts back to her own. "Mmhmm. You do that."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the gas pedal and begins to speed over the speed limit
<Chii> An' next time I'll stun grenade your ass instead of asking you to stop...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You are ugly by the way.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl notes, her eyes on the road
* Chii gazes out the window. "And I'll pay more attention to the colours of your aura than the forks of your tongue..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "The hell is that suppose to mean?"
<Chii> You're not fine. You're rarely okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "What does that have to do with anything?"
* Chii hugs her knees. "You don't have to find me attractive to talk to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, eyeing the road. "Look. I'm fine." 6* She repeats.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And you're not ugly. I'm a bitch. So ignore me.
<Chii> Hrmph.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps speeding along, driving close to the lines since she's drunk
<Chii> Hey, you mind if I sleep over, again, tonight?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't you have your own room?
<Chii> Yeah. I guess.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her shoulders. "You should use it."
<Chii> It's like me. Empty.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're empty, eh?
<Chii> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops the car in the base lot, but doesn't move out of it yet. She grabs another bottle, glancing at Chii. She's heard Chii say it before, but apparantly her eyes are locked on Chii intently now
* Chii is still holding her knees, but seems to be gazing off into space again, unfocused

<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* After sending Dawn on his way, Katrina steps into the messhall to get herself a healthy breakfast.
* Xanatos sits in the mess, eating waffles, he glances up mid-gulp of what is most likely milk.
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Marcus. Feeling better? 6* She asks him as she moves over to get a banana and some healthy cereal.
* Marcus` gulps down his milk and sets it down. "I don't make stupid faces when I stand up now. So, I think that's a good start."
<DeathStar> 6* She cuts the banana into the cereal, then gets herself orange juice, moving over and sitting down across from Marcus. "That's good."
* Marcus` shifts slightly in his seat. "How about yourself? The aftermath still lingering in your mind?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm good. No side-effects.
* Marcus` bows his head, then takes a mouthful of waffles, chewing and swallowing. "Well, to be honest, you had me scared there for a minute."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I had myself scared. 6* She eats her food.
* Marcus` frowns slightly. "Thank the heavens for that girly looking fella, then."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dawn?
<Marcus`> Ah, that's his name. *he nods* I got up there quicker than I did. So I guess I owe him.
<Marcus`> NRP: He.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure he would appreciate a kind word, but it was a team effort. You did catch me. 6* She smiles, taking another bite of her cereal, chewing on it
* Marcus` smirks. "Well, you know." He glances off to the side. "So I saw the stinkeye you gave to Dias." He looks back at her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He shouldn't have dropped you like he did.
* Marcus` just waves a hand. "Best friends or not, we don't treat each other special no matter how much pain we're in. You won't get stronger if people wait around on you and make things easier."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Best friends or not, you don't drop someone in pain. 6* She notes, chewing her food and swallowing. "And I'm not going to look the other way on that."
* Marcus` sighs. "It's a guy thing, Kat. I don't guess you would understand." He shakes a hand, "Just don't worry about it, honest. It's no big deal."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shrugs her shoulder. "If it's a guy thing or not, I wouldn't want to understand. This team could use some compassion. Strength doesn't come from dropping your teammates when they're in pain. It didn't do your body any good."
<Marcus`> I may not have been helpful, but if you really knew how me and Dias were, that's how we've always been to each other. If anything, the fact he helped me up showed that he doesn't hold a grudge anymore. And i'm cool with that. We may not be best bros anymore, but I think we'll still be able to be friends.
<Marcus`> NRP: it*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head, chewing her food quietly now.
* Marcus` sets his fork down. "I'm glad that you're looking out for me, it's kinda nice."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Apparantly you look forward to abuse from your friends, so I won't say anything more about it.
* Marcus` sighs. "Come'on Kat. That's not right."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts her green eyes to look at him. "I see it as abusive, but clearly to you it's how you and Dias treat each other. If you feel that sort of friendship helps better you, then I won't complain about it. You know how I feel, so that's enough."
* Marcus` nods once. "It means enough that you actually care. You don't see anyone else turning their heads, do you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina frowns. "No, you don't." 6* She states, eating her cereal, her mood having gone downhill. She really seems to dislike the team.
* Marcus` finishes his milk and shifts in his seat. "We're one of the reasons you left, aren't we?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses momentarily in chewing, then resumes and swallows. "I don't like the emotions I feel from this team."
<Marcus`> I don't think I could take it. All the animosity, jealousy, just pure dislike that everyone seems to share. *he shakes his head* I really don't blame you. I just kinda wished that I had got to say goodbye last time.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I wanted a clean break.
<Marcus`> I'm sure it was easier, not actually having to say goodbye.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, finishing the last bit of cereal, sliding the bowl to the side and drinking her orange juice
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I was.
<DeathStar> *it
* Sera|WorkingCabbit is now known as Seraphna
* Marcus` tilts his head, then glances up. "But you're back now, for whatever reason." He smiles, glancing down at her,
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. For now. I'm not sure how long
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina finishes the OJ
* Marcus` frowns slightly. "Well, at least you're honest. That's something i've been trying to do more, too."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at him. "Honesty is important. Even if it's hurts."
<Marcus`> Well then I think it sucks that I could turn around and you could be gone. *he cups his hands together* Though I'm hoping that this time I would at least get a goodbye.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "We'll see how things go. I can't deny I might want to bow out quietly if things get bad."
* Marcus` tilts his head. "What do you mean?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sometimes it feels as if this team is ready to tear itself apart. Or something could come along and do it. I might not stick around to see that happen.
* Marcus` nods his head once. "If it means anything, i'm definitely going to stop with the lewd comments. There really isn't any sense in it. But I really thing Paladin could keep this group together, he really cares, which is different, since Warren cared, but not enough to interfere."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I just don't understand the need for the hateful comments in the first place. Understanding goes further than hate. 6* She eyes the table.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer creeps into the mess hall, moving for the food.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks at Jennifer still being on base
<Marcus`> You know, this team has always had problems, even back on the PAX 2, but it just really seems lately like everyone honestly hates each other, like they're sick of all of this, but have nowhere else to go.
* Marcus` drifts his eyes to Jennifer, though if he has anything he is thinking of, he's probably not, since Kat would pick up on.
<Marcus`> NRP: should be thinking of.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer grabs a bit of toast and some juice, dressed in her school uniform.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks back at Marcus. She assumes Jennifer is going in late.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess so. It's sad.
<Marcus`> I was never one to get along with Warren. But when he passed, so did the spirit of this team.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Strange how that works. 6* She notes.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "What do you mean?"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer stops a moment at the door to the mess hall, looking over at them with toast in her mouth, in a hurry, but her father's name caught her ear.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Warren didn't act like he cared about others. Stayed to himself. Yet you feel as if the team's spirit went with him.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Shows how much people respected him
* Marcus` nods his head. "Yeah, I know I did."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He did care, though. He just didn't show it. 6* She notes.
<Marcus`> Oh, I know. He was more the type that let people do whatever as long as they still did their job. People act like Paladin is hugely different, but really, if Warren was alive, he would probably just as pissed off with all of us.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer takes her toast out of her mouth. "He would. See yah!"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer ducks out, since she's late.
<Seraphna> * Wolf nearly gets barrelled over by her.
* Marcus` raises an eye to Jennifer's back, before looking back to Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't turn since she knows Jen is gone now. "Paladin is by the books. This team bothers him since no one cares about order and respect."
<Seraphna> Wolf> "What the... damn kids..." *She steps in and walks over to the food.*
<Marcus`> Well I don't see how he can expect any different, since Natalie and Theron are the only real military people here.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, hopefully he doesn't fire anyone.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> After his speech about stopping the hate, he might.
<Seraphna> * Wolf eyes them as she procures a bowl of food, seeming to mash it together.
<Marcus`> I know for a fact that Chii and Dias are blacklisted in his little book. But I don't figure they will calm down any.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs. It's clear she wishes she can help Chii
* Marcus` shakes his head. "Sometimes Chii seems like a lost cause, and then sometimes she doesn't. And it seems that no matter what I say, she doesn't change. And since i'm not important to her, I guess that could play a part, but I imagine it bothers you, too."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think you mean more to her than you realize.
<Marcus`> Ah, she thinks i'm cute, sure. But do you really blame her? *he smiles, knowing that he's setting himself up to be burnt.*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're more than just 'cute' to her. Chii doesn't focus on people based on looks. It's why she reacts to strongly to you. Because you do mean something to her.
<DeathStar> *so strongly
<Seraphna> * Wolf takes a seat nearby and eats.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods politely to Wolf.
* Marcus` gives a half smile. "I'm sure I am, it's just weird to think of it like that. I don't think i've ever really meant anything to anyone before. I mean, i've had friends, sure. But i've never been important, important enough that what I do actually affects them."
* Marcus` glances at Wolf and nods once, since Kat did it and he doesn't want to look like a jerk.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii is like a child, despite being older than us, because she's really just coming into her own. So, others' opinions of her matter to her, especially those that matter to her, such as you. So, you hold a lot of weight with your words. You can make or break her easier than you realize.
<Marcus`> I guess it's good that I straitened things out with her. *he frowns and looks down* Though I guess that also means I could never go after Cheryl seriously, since that would probably ruin her.
<Seraphna> * Wolf nods back and smiles when she does.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're interested in Cheryl?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tilts her head a bit like Erevis would, curious
<Marcus`> You would be surprised at how much I actually get Cheryl, compared to everyone else.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think a serious relationship could do wonders for Cheryl, really.
<Marcus`> She needs something, this weapon business isn't healthy, and now that she has the same affliction as me and Dias...well it just makes me wonder how much she has left.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "But I think if you weren't serious, it could be bad for her psychological development."
* Marcus` nods his head once. "I think that Chii is the person for her, even if she claims she isn't into girls. I see how sad she gets when Chii rejects her."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods herself. "They would be good for each other, if .... Chii could understand being with one person."
* Marcus` laughs slightly. "Yeah. I tried to explain that. I'm sure you have too."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. She doesn't understand it. I don't blame her, really, but I'm not sure how Cheryl would react if Chii slept with another person.
<Marcus`> Oh I know how she would react. Can you say 'flip the fuck out'?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What makes you think she would react in that manner?
<Marcus`> I don't really. Since it is Cheryl, she will react in one of two ways. She'll get pissed off, but bottle it in and go get drunk. Which is a possible scenario. Or she'll get pissed off, and then pretend like it's no big deal, then damn near kill herself on the next mission.
<Marcus`> Because the physical pain would help mask the emotional pain she would be in.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I imagine that is close. I think she'll be wounded. Cheryl seems to be the type, when she's upset by something on that level, not to get pissed, but to supress it, either by drinking, or by getting herself a dangerous mission. Most likely none of us would even know she was affected
* Marcus` drums his fingers on the table. "There are signs, cues in her actions and words that show when she is bothered. Being a drinking buddy of hers, I get to see that."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What sort of signs? 6* She cups her hands together. While it may seen unfair to Wolf she's being ignored, the two were having the serious conversation before she arrived.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits in his office, drinking a cup of green stuff, doing reports.
<Seraphna> * Wolf stands, having not pressed in on the conversation out of politeness, she grabs her finished bowl and goes to toss it.
<Marcus`> Well, it's really hard to explain, honestly. It's just subtle things that after spending time with her that you notice. I guess it could also be easy to confuse her normal self, since she puts on this moody facade to keep people away.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. I'd be curious what they were, so I could see them myself, but I understand if they are hard to explain
<Marcus`> Usually when she is upset, or bothered by something, she wants to be alone. Which, being Cheryl, she usually wants to be alone. So it's more of iniating a conversation with her and feeling out to see just which mood that was. *he pauses* Haven't you ever thought about...you know. *he motions to Kat's head* I know it's rude, but it's got to be really tempting.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Other than surface thoughts or what she's projecting, I haven't gone into her mind.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Bloody masochist, the Dragoon."
<Seraphna> * Wolf stops on her way out in front of them.
* Marcus` slowly glances over at Wolf.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Wolf, a disapproving frown on her face.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Bit worried the girl's going to hurt herself beyond repair."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you really? 6* She asks Wolf
* Marcus` keeps his mouth shut, though Katrina would be able to tell he is really holding back.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "...Something wrong with that?"
Session Close: Sun May 11 00:00:00 2008


Session Start: Sun May 11 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #taw
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It seems very rude calling her a 'bloody masochist'. 6* She notes. Wolf just proved how the team speaks without thinking about how others might take things
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It makes it seem less likely you care about her well being.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Gone tit for tat with her, she wouldn't stop till I'd rendered her almost useless."
<Seraphna> Wolf> 'Why?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. If you can't see why it's rude, then never mind
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks back at Marcus, probably feeling his emotions.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "What's more rude? Talking about someone honestly or without them?"
* Kit[Work] is now known as Kit
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles thinly at Wolf again. "Talking about someone with concern for their well being is never rude. What you're doing is low, and a prime example of what's wrong with this team."
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Psh, I said I was concerned, attacking someone to the point they don't care anymore, that's what's wrong with this team."
<Seraphna> Wolf> "If you want me to no care, then fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Wolf, then shakes her head. "How childish."
<Seraphna> Wolf> "How bitchy."
* Marcus` narrows his eyes. "Wolf. Walk away."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Very mature. Words can be constructed in ways that are hurtful. Saying that Cheryl fought you until she couldn't move isn't rude. Calling her a bloody masochist is - it's confrontational and rude. Indicating that we're rude for talking about her is another level of your rudeness."
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Or you'll what, hit a teammate?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And then indicating you'll "not care" because I called you on it is childish, and resorting to name calling is another facet of that.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you can't see that, then I'm sorry.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "You're calling me a child to start, so let's talk about your own name calling."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head, turning back to Marcus
<Seraphna> Wolf> "You're on a fuckin high horse, get off it if you think you're gonna lecture me."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I won't bother lecturing you anymore.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "That's a relief."
* Marcus` closes his eyes, keeping himself calm. "Wolf, just walk away." He opens his eyes. "No one was talking to you, so walk away."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds up a hand to Marcus. "Marcus. It isn't worth it. We can continue our conversation just fine."
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Sorry if I insulted her, it's what I think. She seems to enjoy pain and hurtin herself, I don't like it."
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Scuze me for bein worried or giving a shit."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She'll play herself as the victim if we continue to pander to her. So lets not.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Now, where were we?
<Seraphna> Wolf> "I ain't no fuckin victim."
* Marcus` just gives a short laugh, glancing off to the side. It's a way of keeping Wolf out of his mind, not looking at her. "I was about to switch the subject to me and you."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? 6* She blinks.
<Seraphna> * Wolf shakes her head and walks out.
<Marcus`> Yeah, sure. *he looks to her once Wolf leaves* I get that you're here for Chii. So I'm really curious if you're really looking for anything outside of making sure she is ok.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A fair question. I do care about certain people on the team. And as a counselor, I want to help the team, but I'm tired of reaching out a hand to people who have no interest in taking it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> As for myself...
<Kit> 6Dawn stares at Wolf as she exits the mess hall, standing central of it.
* Marcus` tilts his head, since that's what he was curious about anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. I guess I'm still looking into what I want for myself."
<Seraphna> * Wolf looks at Dawn like he's prey.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks down a hallway with her booze, drinking it. Clearly drunk.
<Kit> 6Dawn holds up his hands, strangely, almost like a mime.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "What?"
<Kit> 6Dawn leans forward, staring into her eyes intently, his hazel ones having taken a turn for a everclear blue at the moment, then places his hands on her shoulder, imprinting a thought upon her. 1<Hello!>
* Marcus` bows his head. "I think last time, when I realized that I could really attempt to settling down bit with you, that you had already wrote me off. And everything I pursued after that, was just more difficult for you, since you had to reject me. So this time around, it would be good for both of us to know just up front where we stand.
<Marcus`> NRP: the, not to.
<Seraphna> * Wolf puts a hand to her head. "...You're one of those telepaths too huh?"
<Kit> 6Dawn shrugs slightly, taking his hands off her. He seems to frown.
<Kit> 6Then snaps his hand up, sending a flat palm strike for her chin.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "That would be fair. I'm not sure if I'm actually wanting anything serious. I want to be there for Chii, if she needs me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks past Dawn and Wolf, drunkenly eyeing them
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Plus, if I leave, that wouldn't be fair if it was a serious relationship.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yawns and sits up in her medical bay finally.
<Seraphna> * Wolf blinks and steps back a bit, her knee thrustign into his stomach.
<Marcus`> I figured as much, just as soon as you mentioned leaving. *he pauses and then laughs* It's kind of funny, we've did a role reversal or something. Now i'm the one searching for someone to be serious with, and you're the one that isn't. Fate just doesn't seem to be on our side, I guess.
* Seraphna looks at Zeph, blinking a little. "Mmm...?"
<Seraphna> Wolf> 'What the fuck!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles softly. "Sorry. If you're looking for someone serious, then you should do so."
<Kit> 6Dawn moves fluidly to the side, as if it didn't require an actual effort to dodge the strike. His eyes didn't even look for it, and Dawn sends an elbow for her gut.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks on by, not caring they're fighting
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her eyes, yawning
<Seraphna> * Wolf takes the elbow, she's not surprisingly able to take such a weak blow, sending her elbow for the back of his neck as she does.
<Seraphna> "Morning sleepyhead."
* Marcus` gives a slight shrug. "It's no big deal. I'm still young, I've got years and years ahead of me." He doesn't mention that he probably only has a few years if the corruption does infact lead to death.
<Kit> 6Dawn simply kneels, rubbing the side of his face. He touches her foot. 1<Hm. It sort of works.>
<Seraphna> * Wolf kicks at him as he kneels.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina frowns a bit
<Kit> 6Dawn's head snaps back as he's kicked. He reels back, twitching at Wolf. 1<Now why would you do that?> 6Sigh.
<Seraphna> Wolf> "...You bloody attacked me you loon."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Angela. "Hi."
<Seraphna> "Hey... feeling better?" *she yawns a bit*
<Kit> 6Dawn rolls his eyes and moves past.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks down the hallway, almost out of sight
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I guess so
* Marcus` places his hand on Katrina's and smiles. "It's not the amount of time a person has left that matters. It's what those people do with their time left that does."
<Seraphna> * Wolf growls a bit and walks on, stimping a bit now, pissed off. Her list of people she hates growing rapidly today.
<Seraphna> "That's good... need anything?" *rubs her eyes*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I dunno. 6* She looks around
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps walking, almost gone and beyond conversation range.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "You're right."
<Seraphna> * Wolf stomps, to end Xan's confusion.
* Seraphna sits back and sighs a bit, closing her eyes, her eyes are a bit red from crying.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Angela, putting a hand on Megumi as the cat sleeps. She eyes Angela.
<Seraphna> "...What?"
* Marcus` stands, making a frown like he would be in pain, but just gets a wide smile afterward. "I'll see you around Kat. You need me for anything, just ask."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Okay."
* Marcus` picks up his trash and tosses it away. "Later." He steps out into the hall, glancing left and right.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at her. "You okay?"
<Seraphna> "I... yeah... I'm fine..."
* Seraphna tries to smile.
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops outside her room, hitting the door open button and missing. She peers at it
* Marcus` steps up by Cheryl, tilting his head. "Having trouble?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods slowly. "Okay..."
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at Megumi
<Seraphna> "I'm glad you two are alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* Then back at Angela. "What day is it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Marcus. "No." 6* She uses her foot and hits the button
<Seraphna> "The twentieth."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "Good. I didn't sleep a week or something."
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts onto her back and smiles. 1"Uwahn..."
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "Impressive."
* Seraphna giggles gently, her voice and tone quieter then usual.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs Megumi's stomach like she were a cat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets up and moves out of the mess hall
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Seraphna> "Cute..."
<Seraphna> "You two did well."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. She seems quiet, probably sensing Angela's mood
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods and moves inside her room
<Seraphna> "Ere will be staying with me."
<Seraphna> "Least until she goes on an independant streak again..."
* Seraphna looks down a little.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh? ... Megumi might not like that. She wanted Erevis to live with her again
<Seraphna> "Give it time... we shouldn't rush her."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, looking at Megumi, wondering how she'll take the news
* Seraphna looks at her too.
<Seraphna> "I'll be happy to see them together again... honestly."
* Marcus` peers in at Cheryl. "Is it alone time, or could I steal a moment or two with you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Marcus. "Uh...yeah, fine." 6* She sits on the bed, getting a fifth bottle ready
* Marcus` steps inside slightly and peers at the bottles, he crosses his arms as he leans back against the wall. "Fifth one already? Earlier starter."
<Marcus`> NRP: Early*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. You know me
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays down since the room is spinning. Marcus could smell beer all over, as if she bathed in it, and her shorts seem damp - she's wearing no bra, either, from the looks of her damp shirt
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Angela, nodding.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. They're meant to be
<Seraphna> "It made me happy to see them... before..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe we'll be the reason they get together
<DeathStar> 6* The door closes behind Marcus, trapping him inside
* Marcus` peers over his shoulder, then glances ahead.
<Marcus`> Sure. *he nods once, tilting his head, obviously noticing the lack of a bra* So, I don't know what happened, and i'm not going to pretend like I do, and so i'm not going to tell you that I understand and we can talk about it or any of that horse shit. But, if you felt like talking about it, or anything else, I wouldn't mind to listen at all.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes him, her blue eyes shifting over his face. "Yeah. I'll keep that in mind." 6* She begins to drink
<Seraphna> "Mmm..."
<Marcus`> I'm kinda bummed. I thought that with Kat being back again, I could try to fix the mess that happened between us before, but it looks like that won't be happening. *he gives a slight shrug* Go figure, huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him. "Why?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Angela's lack of a real response and slumps, peering back down at Meg
<Marcus`> She wants to leave herself free incase Chii needs her. That and she'll probably make with the disappearing act again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. So she wants nothing to do with you.
* Seraphna looks at her. "Oh, Sorry, thinking a bit too much I guess."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh.
<Marcus`> Well we have a date, sometime. But, there probably won't come anything from it. So I guess, I dunno really. Women can be complicated, as you may know.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Think she won't bang you?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps drinking her hard liquour
* Marcus` gives a shrug. "She may. It's not something i'm really going for, though. It has come to my attention that i'm a 'user'. So I guess I don't want to be that."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the wall suddenly, as if off put by something
* Seraphna looks at her and sighs a bit. "I'm being a bother again... aren't I/"
<Marcus`> Which leads me to this. *he pauses* I'm sorry.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "Dunno how to act with you all depressed and staring at me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh? 6* She takes another swallow her alcohol
* Seraphna blinks and looks away, "O-Oh... sorry, I'm... down about Xan..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods slowly.
<Seraphna> "Haven't really slept since you last saw me either."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. You should, then
<Seraphna> "Tried..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, looking depressed now herself.
* Seraphna looks up and then down again. "S-Sorry, I'll go..."
<Marcus`> Yeah, you know, I'm more of a 'me' person. Doing as I please. And well, whether you wanted too, or not. I just don't want you having some type of deep down hatred for me over that.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You don't have to go...
<Seraphna> "Kay..."
* Seraphna looks down still, not sure what to say.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "I'm the whore. You said itself just now. You're not really going for sex with Katrina. So yeah. Whatever. The thing with me was my doing anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* She rolls off the bed with her alcohol, moving for the bathroom
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks down as well. Awkward silence.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "You know that's a lie, Cheryl."
<Kit> <Megumi> Mrrrr~
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure. 6* She steps into the bathroom, closing the door.
<Seraphna> "I'm... really glad we can be friends Zeph."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scratches Megumi's ear, nodding. "Yeah."
* Marcus` rubs the lowers half of his face, you know the Chin, and waits for Cheryl to come back out.
<DeathStar> 6* She doesn't.
* Marcus` steps over to the door and knocks once. "Hey, you need me to hold your hair or something?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. I'm about to take a shower.
<Marcus`> Good, you wreaked of alcohol. *he pauses* So I guess you want me to leave, then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. That would be great.
<Marcus`> Yeah. Later, then. *he moves over to her door and steps out*
<DeathStar> 6* After the door shuts, Cheryl exits the bathroom, pulling off the clothes that had beer spilt on them and tosses them to the side, laying on her bed naked
* Marcus` is oblivious to the nakedness, sadly, walking off to do his thing.
* Seraphna smiles and watches. "She's such a cat."
<Kit> 6Megumi smiles contently, then partially opens one eye, sneaking a peek at Angela, closing it again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.2.20
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
* DeathStar is now known as DS[Gone]
* Marcus` stands in the training room, going through one of the routines that he has. Currently he is using the stance basis that Adam/Billy taught him.
* Seraphna steps inside, looking around the traiing room quietly as she does, arms crossed.
* Marcus` shifts around in a circle, working on his footwork, when he rounds out to see Sera. He pauses. "Hey."
* Seraphna smiles and waves softly, "Hey."
* Marcus` walks over and bends down, lifting up a towel, he pats his head and then drapes it over his shoulder. "What's up?"
<Seraphna> "Nothing... can't sleep and I felt I should give Zeph some alone time with Meg. How're you?"
<Marcus`> Eh, i'm me. There's no problem too great for me to hide. *he gives her a smile, before frowning* So why can't you sleep?
* Seraphna smiles a bit, "A bit disturbed, I suppose."
<Marcus`> Disturbed, is it? *he arches a brow* What for?
* Seraphna moves a bit and leans against a wall. "Legion is Xanatos."
* Marcus` rubs the back of his neck. "We always knew he was one of us, Angela. Personally, I feel better knowing it was at least someone that was dying to begin with. Better him, than say, Zephyr."
<Seraphna> "Well yeah... but..."
* Seraphna sighs, "It's Xan..."
<Marcus`> You and him had a history, I know. But from the look on his face, he knew he what he doing. And now that Legion is here, there can be no hesitation, or someone could get killed.
* Seraphna nods and looks down. "I know... he's Legion now, the Xan I knew... I..." *she wipes her eyes*
* Marcus` lets out a breath. "I know it is tough, but you can't keep like this, look around, everyone else has accepted it. I don't know if that just means you cared more, or what, but you need to start focusing on how to stop him."
* Seraphna nods quietly. She looks down at her feet.
* Marcus` sighs. "How do you think Erevis will react when she finds out that Legion is Xanatos, the Xanatos that to her, died just a year ago? I don't know if you've thought about it, but perhaps it is best if you suck it up and lie about who he is. Because I'm really not sure if she could handle killing him."
* Seraphna nods. "I will."
<Seraphna> "Sorry I'm just... it's not easy."
* Seraphna sits down on a bench and looks at him.
* Marcus` bows his head and walks over to her, giving her a hug. "I know. I'm sorry."
* Seraphna hugs him back tightly.
* Marcus` just pats her, since you know, that's the consoling thing to do.
* Seraphna sighs a bit. "Thanks... I needed a hug."
<Marcus`> You know me. I'm a walking hug machine. *he gives her a half smile, standing up*
* Seraphna giggles a little. 'Yeah, and a terrible flirt."
<Marcus`> Sure, if I had been flirting, your panties would have already been on the floor. *he leans over to lift up his water bottle* So are you and Cheryl close at all?
<Seraphna> "I suppose we are... we at least can stand to be in the same room together now."
<Marcus`> Yeah? Impressive. *he sighs* Well I think I pissed her off so my attempts of reaching out to her failed, maybe you should give it a go.
<Seraphna> "Reaching out to her? Something's wrong with her?"
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Well I dunno, since you know, anything could've happened while she was captured."
* Seraphna blinks a bit, 'Yeah I suppose... usually the smart thing to do is to leave her be, she likes to deal with problems on her own... but saying hello can't hurt."
<Marcus`> Well, you know, your choice.
<Seraphna> "I'll say hello." *she smiles softly*
<Seraphna> "I'm supposed to be the annoying one that gets on her case anyways."
<Marcus`> Don't mention me, Katrina, or Chii. Since, you know, that'll end the convorsation quick.
<Seraphna> "Ummm... sure."
* Seraphna leans up and pecks him on the cheek. "We should hang out again soon."
<Marcus`> Yeah? I'll see what I can do. I'm such a busy guy after all. *he wiggles a brow*
<Seraphna> "Oh, well as long as you can pencil me in." *she grins softly*
* Marcus` gives a slight shrug. "I'll see you around." He moves back to resume his training.
* Seraphna gets up and watches him a bit, before heading out to find Cheryl's room.
<DS[Gone]> 6* After a bit, Zephyr pads into the training room, in the hospital pajamas she got since she was naked after the battle
* Marcus` slides to a stop. "Howdy."
* Kuroichigo has joined #taw
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Hi. 6* She yawns
<Marcus`> Boy I wish I could just sleep the day away.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr blinks
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Huh?
<DS[Gone]> 6* And so, Angela moves out..
<Kuroichigo> * Megumi sneezes, still sleeping, then is found clutching around her for something. She makes mewling noises.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Caduceus eyes the noises, so he tosses a stuffed bear into the bed with Megumi
* Marcus` waves a hand. "You slept for a while, must've been really tired."
* Seraphna stops in front of Cheryl's door, knocking.
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Yeah. I was pretty out of it. 6* She stretches, the pajamas a size too small for her, so it shows off her figure
<DS[Gone]> 6* CAduceus probably did it on purpose
<DS[Gone]> 6* A slurred: Who is it greets Angele
<Kuroichigo> * Megumi clutches the bear in a jungleborn death grip
* Marcus` lets out a whistle, probably just seeing if it'll embarass her.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr blinks again, staring at him oddly. "Why'd you whistle?"
<Seraphna> "It's Angela."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Whaddya want?
<Marcus`> I do that from time to time. *he lifts up the water bottle to take a drink*
<Seraphna> "To say hi, check on you, see if you want more booze. You know, my usual."
<DS[Gone]> 6* The door opens. The room is dark, and Angela can't make out Cheryl just yet
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Oh. Weird.
* Seraphna steps in, letting her eyes slowly adjust. "Brooding or did a lamp break?"
<DS[Gone]> 6* The door shuts. As Angela's eyes adjust, she can see Cheryl laying there naked with her alcohol. "I like the dark. You like being condescending?"
* Marcus` laughs slightly. "Yeah, you know me." He gives her a half smile. "So..."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Her body has lots of black lines, that curve around her arms, legs, chest, stomach, and even breasts
<Seraphna> "Sorry, that was rude of me..."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Yeah?
<DS[Gone]> 6* She peers at Marcus
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders, drinking her bottle
<Marcus`> I guess since you're up and about, it's only a matter of time before you run off again.
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Yep. When Megumi's awake.
* Seraphna looks her over, "Are you holding up alright? You're drinking more then I seem to remember."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> You have a bad memory then. I drink less. 6* She finishes the bottle
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl pauses as she catches Angela looking her over. "What?"
<Marcus`> You and her are alot closer than I remember. I guess that's what happens over the months.
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> We're roomies now.
<Seraphna> "Just the markings... they seem even more apparent then before."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl looks down at herself, then looks a bit self-conscious, as if just realizing she's nude. "Yeah. So."
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? That's cool. I guess I never thought about your living arrangements. *he plays with the cap to the water bottle*
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> We're also secret lovers, but don't tell anyone. 6* She winks slyly.
<Seraphna> "Nothin really... does it hurt?"
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Only when they first appear
* Marcus` pauses, and then laughs. "I'll be sure not too. Though I must say it's brave of you to go up against Erevis."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> I like a good challenge.
<Seraphna> "Mmm... think there's any way to remove them? I mean, is there any going back?"
<Marcus`> Well that's good. Because you two being secret lovers may totally explode time as we know it.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "I guess you could rip my flesh off if you wanted."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr giggles. "That's why we're lovers in secret."
<Marcus`> Uh oh. So that means...if I tell...oh jeeze way to tell me, now i'm going to screw it up.
<Seraphna> "Eww."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> The world is doomed if you tell anyone, Marcus.
<Marcus`> The world is doomed. *he says, hanging his head dramatically*
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr smiles. "You're funny."
* Seraphna takes a seat somewhere she can find. "Did they do anything... bad to you while you were captured?"
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes Angela, then the ceiling. "Of course not. We had a fabulous time and talked about world peace."
* Marcus` looks up, smiling. "You know you totally saved our butts back there, right?"
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr waves her hand, still smiling. "It's what Megumi and I do."
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? Are you some type of superhero now? You know DIas will be upset that someone is moving in on his territory.
<Seraphna> "That was supposed to lead into whether you wanted to talk about it or not..." *looks a bit flushed*
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Oh, you wanted hear about their views on world peace.
* Kitzzzune has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Seraphna> "Yes, and their take on the economic decline."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl leans over past Angela, who is on the bed, since Cheryl doesn't have chairs, and grabs another bottle on the second try. "Go ask the shapeshifter, then."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> No, not a superhero. Just a dragoon with a big gun and a catgirl for a partner.
<Seraphna> "Ugh, why would I even wanna talk to one of those creeps... what is he doing here?
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Who knows. Better watch out, or he may try to rape you."
<Marcus`> Now that's a holovid show if I ever heard one. *he grins before going neutral in the face* How do you think Angela will be? The whole Xan mess affected her more than I thought.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "I don't know. I'm not sure why it got to her so much. He said he was dying six months ago. So everyone would be ready for it. At least he didn't die in pain."
* Seraphna frowns a little. "I'm sorry, Cheryl."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Wha'for? 6* She opens it, drinking
<Marcus`> I know. I didn't want to bring that up, but oh well. *he scratches the side of his face* It's depressing around here though, that's for sure.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr nods slowly, looking a bit depressed herself now that Marcus brought up Angela, who had depressed her earlier
<Seraphna> "Bringing it up."
* Seraphna smiles a bit, "Gonna offer me a drink?"
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> No
* Seraphna pouts. "Oh fine."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl sneers. "I don't give up alcohol for free."
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Oh no. No no. Am I going to have to hug you too? I know my hugs are magical and everything but it's hard work giving them out all that time."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Huh? 6* She blinks, holding up her hands, looking a bit off guard. "No, no, I'm fine."
<Marcus`> Oh, well fine. *he hmphs slightly, then shifts to his left foot, looking at her* Did I scare you there for a second? I could've just jumped forward to hug you but I was afraid I would get Dragoon Bustah'd.
<Seraphna> "Oh I see, a cost is it."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Heh heh. I might have. 6* She notes sheepishly.
* Seraphna taps her cheek a little and looks at Cheryl. "And how does one earn your booze?"
<Marcus`> I'm pretty sure you would've. *he frowns* And then the only thing that I have going for me would be gone. My looks.
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> *shrugs*
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Your looks, eh? You could use a nice haircut and shave.
* Marcus` sighs. "Gee, Zeph. Let's just take my self-esteem and grind it up into a nice powder, there.""
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> You look good. I'm just saying you'd look better with a haircut and shave.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr pouts, as if he slapped her idea down
* Seraphna pouts. "...Am I a bit too weird?"
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Okay, okay. And what kind of hair cut would you suggest?" He leans forward, interested.
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> A typical man's haircut
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> You've always been weird. It's just yo
<Marcus`> T-typical man's!? But wouldn't that make me boring?
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> It would make you more attractive to the ladies.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr nods
* Seraphna smiles. "Thanks... I think."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Yeah, sure. 6* She takes a long swallow of her alcohol, then laughs darkly.
* Marcus` just hmphs, and waves a hand. "No thanks. What's the point of changing who I am, just to get some tail." He pauses, "Literally when it comes to people like Megumi and Chii." He seems amused with that.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr groans.
<Marcus`> W-what?
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> That was terrible.
* Marcus` sighs. "Well I can't throw out instant hits all the time."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> So you won't get a haircut? That sucks
<Marcus`> Ok, ok. How about a mohawk?
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Ewwww.
<Marcus`> Oh wait, I know. A fro. Eh, eh? I could perm it up.
<Seraphna> "What?"
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr gags
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl drinks her alcohol. "I use to think you were a slut. No offense. Now I realize I'm the whore, and you're not. Funny, isn't it?"
* Marcus` sighs. "Well, damn, i'm all out of sweet haircut ideas."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr rolls eyes. "It's traditional for a reason."
* Marcus` sighs. "Fine, I'll get like a crew cut or something. What do you think, no more ponytail?"
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> I think you'd look good. 6* She nods eagerly
<Seraphna> "Wha? How are you anything like that?"
<Marcus`> But you don't think the beard would make me look distinguished?
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Beards just get in the way
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl broods with her beer instead of answering
<DS[Gone]> *liquor
<Marcus`> Oh what?
<Marcus`> NRP: of*
<Seraphna> "Well you used to be right... I was pretty damn easy."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Kissing and cuddling
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Least it was with people you "loved".
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? I dare say that I don't think i've ever kissed and cuddle. *he pauses* Or at least it's been a while. You think it's been this beard the whole time?
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Probably. 6* She nods
* Seraphna blinks, looking suddenly depressed, she looks down, 'Yeah... at least..."
<Marcus`> Oh. Lame. *he sighs* Maybe I should do designs in my beard, you think that would be cool?
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl eyes her depressed look, and just drinks her alcohol, even more quiet now.
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> No.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr eyes him like he's one step smarter than an ape
<Seraphna> "So you've slept with someone you don't care about?"
* Marcus` sighs. "What if I just left a goatee?"
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Mmmm. 6* She drinks her alcohol, apparantly not wanting to go into it now
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Maybe. I'd have to see it
* Marcus` nods, then motions for her to follow him.
<Seraphna> "Alright then."
* Seraphna looks at her in an odd way.
<Seraphna> "We've... definately changed over time."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> I haven't.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr blinks, then begins to walk after Marcus
* Marcus` moves along to his room, where he opens the door and steps in, moving towards his bathroom.
<Seraphna> "Sure you have."
<Seraphna> "If I remember right, our first ever encounter you were coming for my head. Now we're sitting here peaceful like."
<Seraphna> "That's change."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> It's because you haven't done anything to warrant me killing you. Lately.
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> That's not change on my part.
* Seraphna smiles a little. "Well at least that means I'm doin alright. Still... I don't think you're exactly the same as the day you were created."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr hesitates, then moves in slowly.
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> .......
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl's frown deepens.
* Seraphna looks at her. "If you aren't capable of change, your life would have led a much different path then it has."
* Marcus` glances out at her. "I'm going to shave, and you'll judge the outcome, alright?"
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Okay.
* Marcus` nods and then steps back into his bathroom full, beginning to shave, though he doesn't shut the door if Zephyr wants to watch for some reason.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr waits
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl drinks her alcohol, still not talking. She's still silent
<Seraphna> "If you couldn't change, you'd never have done anything out of regret or worry..."
* Marcus` leans out after a minute, and it looks like he just shaved out flames. He nods. "I think this is a keeper, eh?" He smiles, obviously joking! Or is he?
<Seraphna> "Or even gone against orders."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl keeps drinking her alcohol. "Yes. You think you know so much about me."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes, as if she plans to ignore Angela now
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr stares at him. "Uh...."
<Seraphna> "I don't really... all I can do is guess."
* Marcus` sighs. "So much for that." He slips back inside to finish up the job.
<Seraphna> "Maybe it's just me needing to believe that people really can change."
<Seraphna> "Maybe... a lot of maybes."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> Then don't look to me. If you're done, you can go.
<Seraphna> "Cheryl... you're not a bad person..."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl twitches.
* Marcus` pokes his head out again after the magical span of time and he has a nice goatee, though he has a mustache that connects to it. "So. Stache or not?"
<Seraphna> "I'll get out of your hair with that..."
* Seraphna gets up, looking at her.
<Seraphna> "I saw you change in the past, like a completely different person once. I believe that person is still there inside somewhere, even if I'm just some kinda fool. I still believe in you."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> A good person doesn't fuck someone like Marcus just to get someone like Dias to leave them alone.
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> A good person doesn't get off killing things.
* Seraphna frowns a little. "Good people make mistakes."
<DS[Gone]> <Cheryl> I'm not a good person. So stop thinking other wise. You're smarter than that
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl finishes the bottle, tossing it off to the side.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr considers
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> I guess it works.
<Marcus`> But would I be hotter without it completely?
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Maybe. I'd have to see you without it
* Marcus` pauses. "But, I didn't have one when you first met me."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Yeah, but you're older now
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Beefier.
* Seraphna frowns a little and sighs. "Alright Cheryl... I'll see you sometime soon."
<Marcus`> Still doesn't change the fact that if I shave I have a total baby face.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Cheryl nods once. "Yeah. Okay."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Then leave it.
* Seraphna looks at her a second more and steps out of the room.
* Marcus` shakes a fist dramatically. "No, no. It's going off now." He disappears for another moment or two and peers back out, clean shaven.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr stares at him, leaning forward slightly as she does
* Marcus` watches her, arching a brow only slightly, probably weighing the possibilites of his next choice of action.
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Can you put it back on so I can judge it with the goatee again?
* Marcus` drops his mouth open slightly. "Wh-what am I going to use, tape?"
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr giggles. "You look good. I'm teasing."
* Marcus` lets out a breath. "You fooled me. I half expected you to pull out a marker or something."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue
<Marcus`> So. Now who am I going to kiss and cuddle on?
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> I don't know. Angela? 6* She shrugs
* Marcus` sighs. "And here I was thinking you may suggest yourself."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr blinks, recoiling slightly. "Huh? ME? W-Why?"
<Marcus`> Well you're cute and totally cuddley.
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr's cheeks redden slightly.
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Jesus, you're a flirt.
* Marcus` drops his mouth open and rubs the back of his neck. "What if I was being serious?"
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> *blinks and recoils again* Y-You were?
* Marcus` shrugs once, "You seem so shocked, I think maybe i'll go glue the hair back on my face."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Th-That's not it.
<Marcus`> It's not?
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr glances to the side
* Marcus` arches a brow, probably confused. "Uh, sorry."
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr shifts her foot on the floor. "Um, it's okay."
* Marcus` scratches the side of his head. "I guess...maybe Megumi is awake."
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Oh. Right. You want me to go. I gotcha. 6* She turns slinks out of his room
<Marcus`> I don't want you to go. I was just giving you an out since I made think awkward. *he notes before she can leave*
<Marcus`> NRP: things*
<DS[Gone]> <Zephyr> Oh. Well. I should check on her. You do look good. 6* She thumbs up.
<Marcus`> Thanks, I'll see you around. *he gives a slight wave*
<DS[Gone]> 6* Zephyr smiles and moves out of the room
* Marcus` walks over and closes his door, sighing. "Jones, you are going to get in way over your head."
<DS[Gone]> -END-

Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080511.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.2.21
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes a deep breath, enjoying a relaxing day of nothing insane
<Fayth> 6Chii, on the other hand, continues to drive Cheryl insane.
<Myria> NRP: Paladin just had to jinx it...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the mess hall, eating something that looks like cereal
<Theron> * Theron sits in his room, slowly going over his katana, probably buffing out any explosion stains.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is in the training room, doing some sit ups.
* Myria suddenly rubbing herself against Theron's leg like a cat.
<DeathStar> NRP: How did Myria get in Theron's room?
<Fayth> <Chii> What'cha eating?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh.
<Myria> NRP: Errrr... dah! I thought he said training room, nit HIS room.
<Theron> NRP: :)
<DeathStar> NRP: *Retracts Myria's line from the record*
<Fayth> <Chii> Don't look like A's.
<Fayth> 6Dawn wanders the hall, seeming to concentrate on the floor.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her
<Fayth> <Chii> What. Are. You. Eating?
<Fayth> 6Chii flicks Cheryl in the head as she turns to look.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What does it look like. Cereal. 6* She gets annoyed.
<Fayth> <Chii> Eh." 6She walks past to the kitchen.
* Ariel is now known as Ilya
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ilya
* Myria stalks around the HQ, seeking ehr prey...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the kitchen, forgoing a shirt, his upperbody still wrapped in bandages. He moves to the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes, eating her food
* Theron lifts up his blade and peers over it in a very inspecting manner.
<Fayth> 6Dawn eyes Myria curiously, then seems to look sternly upon her-- then jerk and looks freaked out and dives into a janitorial closet, hiding.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer knocks on Theron's door.
<Theron> * Theron moves over to his door and opens it up, staring at Jennifer.
* Myria shuffles over to the janitor's closet and eyes it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves to the walk in freezer and opens it, stepping inside
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks up at Theron, smiling, "Hello Mister Theron."
<Fayth> 6Dawn makes his felt presence utterly vanish from extra sensory types, his physical-- well. He's hiding, he's quiet, and a goddamn mute.
* Myria tries opening the door cause she saw him go in there.
<Theron> * Theron pauses and glances over his shoulder, then arches a brow, tilting his head. "Miss Carmichael"
<Fayth> 6Dawn has jammed the latch with a firing pin.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I wanted to ask a favor of you."
<Myria> 6<12Myria6> *gets frustrated and bangs on the door!
<Theron> Yes?
<Fayth> 6Dawn shivers, not liking what Katrina's taught him to sense all of the sudden.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out holding a small bag of frozen peas. He presses it against his forehead and as he moves over to grab some juice
* Myria pulls out a screwdriver and starts taking apart the hinges.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'I wanted to learn a bit of... ken-do... sword play. Yeah, Sword play."
<Theron> * Theron steps back and closes the door.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Okay..."
* Theron opens the door and gives her a slip of paper. "Do not be late." It appears to be a times for each day.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Chii doing whatever it is that she does when she's forgotten and opens his juice taking a drink. He turns and eyes some food
<Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles, 'I won't, thank you!"
* Theron bows his head slightly. "I will not go easy on you." He promises. Then steps back and closes his door.
<Fayth> 6Chii peers at Dias. 1"Don't touch my food." 6She glares warningly, and seems to be cooking a breakfast keesh from eggs, cheese, potato and the likes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl exits the mess hall after dumping her food.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles happily and makes her way down the hall.
<Fayth> 6Dawn waits until the last screw is removed, then kicks the panel out upon Myria, dashing down the hall.
* Myria tumbles as the door is kicked out on her.
* Theron is now known as Marcus`
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It doesn't even look good. The colors all wrong. 6He grabs an apple.
<Fayth> <Chii> It's a keesh, dumbass.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer steps into the mess hall, making her wat for the food.
<Fayth> 6Chii finishes up, takes half of it into a shallow bowl, then moves out with a fork.
* Marcus` steps into the training room, his hair is not cut like a 'traditional' person's, and he is clean shaven, he glances around.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Looks like egg's to me. With some weird colors mixed in. And dumbass...Really?
<Marcus`> NRP: ER. Yeah it IS.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl passes the downed door and Myria
* Myria crawls out from under the door...
<DeathStar> 6* She glances down at Myria.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Failed experiment in doors today? 6* She snorts
<Myria> ...mating experiment gone wrong... ... ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. Well, if doors are your thing.
<Myria> No...Dawn was behind this door.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sits down with soem food and a drink, having a meal alone.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias used to Chii's insolence looks over at Jennifer. 1"Atleast you don't call me a dumbass.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. I see. You like them girly.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks up and blinks, 'Huh? Oh yeah...'
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lowers his hand and the frozen bag of peas. 1"So what ya got planned for today?"
<Fayth> 6Chii stalks to hurry after Cheryl. 1"Heeey! Try this!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs as Chii begins to come into sight. "Well, if you're looking for someone, try the messhall. I think Dias is in there."
<Fayth> <Chii> I made it, I made it. It should be good.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to face Chii, crossing her arms.
<Myria> Ummm...he...was...here...so...first opportunity...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No offense, but he didn't seem to want you, if the door seemed says anything
<DeathStar> *to say
<Myria> Hard to get!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Me? Umm... nothing much, kinda just messing around!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's amazing you people reproduce.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't you have school?
<Fayth> 6Chii holds out the keesh to Cheryl, smiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it oddly.
<Fayth> 6Chii waves the fork at her.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'It's sunday." *she smiles softly*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Is it? 6He looks at her oddly
<Myria> Well...one every could Earth years... *scratches her head*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it more
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's that? 6* Points at a potato
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'Yep... lose track of time?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Usually. 6He shrugs and he tosses the frozen bag into the kitchen. He takes a bite out of his apple.
<Myria> Huh? *looks*
<Fayth> <Chii> A chunk of potato, duh. It's a breakfast keesh.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer giggles a little and munches on some more of her food, she seems a bit perkier then usual.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the fuck is a keesh?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias polishes off the apple and tosses the core away. 1"Well have fun, messing around."
<Myria> Oh, I must go! *dashes down the corridor again!
<Fayth> <Chii> It's a dish made from many ingredients like a souflette or casarole.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer shrugs and smiles, 'Sure, you have fun... what are you doing today?"
<Fayth> <Chii> Egg is one of the main points.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. I'll eat it later. 6* She takes it and moves down the hallway
<Fayth> <Chii> HEY! Try it, damn it!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I figured I'd look at some paint samples for awhile.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I never realized there was so many reds out there.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes and uses her fingers to scoop up some and puts it on her mouth, chewing
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Paint samples? What are you gonna paint?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at her, a deadpanned look on his face
<Fayth> <Chii> So..? How is it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh. Like keesh.
<Myria> NRP: Quiche
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...What?"
<Fayth> <Chii> Pff..!
<Fayth> 6Chii crosses her arms and looks insulted.
<DeathStar> NRP: *tazers Myria for more action*
* Myria stalks Dawn...unlesss any other male crosses her path...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nevermind. 6He waves his hand. 1"I'll probably go punch things."
<Fayth> 6Chii opens one eye and peers at Myria, blinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Sorry.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Alright then. See you later?"
<Myria> Shhh...be very quiet...
<Fayth> <Chii> It's alright Cherry. Hee...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Myria again, then rolls her eyes. "Jesus."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Did you just ask me if you'll see me later?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look, I'm sure Dias would love to drill you until you eyes buldge.
<Fayth> 6Chii turns, sweeping up to Cheryl closely. 1"Sounds fun..."
* Marcus` slumps, since he's stood there forever and Kat hasn't noticed him. "Yo." He says, attempting to keep himself from sounding depreseed.
<Marcus`> NRP: depressed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii. "Huh? You want Dias to drill yo?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Yeah. I-I did."
<Fayth> <Chii> Mmm, not exactly... Heeeee.
<Fayth> 6Chii flutters her eyelashes at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stops in her sit up, turning her head back around toward Marcus. "Hi, Marcus." 6* She turns away, then looks at him again. "You cut your hair and shaved."
<Myria> ...they just don't understand the Erusian sex drive! *darts down the hall*
* Marcus` smiles, then glances off to the side, almost like he's self concious. "Yeah, what do you think?" He looks back to her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It looks good. Very mature
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, then hands her the quiche. "Yeah. Here. You take that back."
* Kulix has joined #taw
* Marcus` nods and smiles more. "Thanks. I guess I was a few years past due."
<Fayth> 6Chii lets it crash to the floor, reaching out warmly. 1"Awww, don't be shy, Cherry."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...Yeah?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "I'm going now." 6* She walks away.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "Just a few. What made you decide to do it?"
<Fayth> 6Chii slides up beside her, rubbing her cheek along Cheryl's. 1"I could make it fun for both of us..."
<Marcus`> Zephyr suggested it, and I figured it was worth a shot, since well, hair grows back. *he gives a slight shrug*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks away. "What the hell are you talking about?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. 6* She nods her head.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'Well... that's good then." *she smiles at him happily*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just nods and moves out of the messhall and walks down the hallway
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It suits you
* Myria seen bounding down the hall at Dias!
* Marcus` walks over and places a hand on the top of the punching bag, leaning there. His cheeks get red slightly, "Well, thanks. This is actually how I used too look before my wolf days."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes a bite out of his apple and eyes Myria, bounding down towards him
* Myria 's skin tone is a darker shade of blue than usual.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes it, something hauntingly familiar about it as he keeps walking
* Myria leaps for him!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ahh crap. 6He ducks, letting her go soaring over him
<Fayth> 6Dawn slides into the training room, falling to his hands and knees, wheezing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. IT's cute.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Dawn
* Myria smashes into the wall.
* Marcus` peers at her, leaning forward. "Wow, Kat. Way to sound surprised." He pauses and glances over at Dawn.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Myria...Are you in heat?
<Myria> ...owwww...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes several steps away from Myria. 1"Or did you get into uncle Dias' red juice again?
<Fayth> <Chii> I'm talkin' 'bout you and me gettin' personal." 6She giggles. 1"No lights and very physical."
<Myria> Heat!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Damn. 6He scowls
* Myria then stalks toward Dias...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks. "No."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...6He takes a step back then suddenly points behind her. 1"HOLY CRAP A TOTALLY NAKED AND READY TO TAKE YOU THERON!"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer cleans up and starts out of the mess hall.
<Fayth> 6Chii's face flushes as she gazes at Cheryl dreamily, never closing her mouth between pants. 1"O-Oh come on... It'd be fun... and feel really, really good..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then slaps Chii on the face.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Dawn. "You okay, Dawn?"
<Fayth> 6Chii blinks, then resumes. 1"Oooh, I ...I can handle that if you like it like that..."
* Myria turns!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and starts dashing down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses. "Look. I'm leaving now."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to go
<Fayth> 6Chii leaps forward, clinging to one of her legs, rubbing on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks. "Stop that!"
<Fayth> 6Dawn peers toward Katrina. <The blue thing. She's... She's... It's horrible!>
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, not quite getting that, so she puts a hand on Dawn. "Repeat that."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer walks along, hands behind her head.
* Marcus` looks confused, staring at the two.
<Fayth> 6Dawn clutches his head, looking razed. <THE BLUE GIRL IS LIKE A DAMNED SLUM WHORE!>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Huh? Myria is a slum whore?
* Myria turns again and pursues Dias!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces as Dawn yells in her head
* Marcus` pauses and starts laughing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides around a corner, losing traction for several seconds before moving down the hallway
<Fayth> 6Dawn almost looks about to sob. <She almost got me. She's going to hump anything male and living. Maybe unliving.>
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks, then looks at MYria. "Looks like Myria is in heat and almost raped Dawn."
<Fayth> NRP: *Dawn freaks because Myria's back.
<Fayth> NRP: You mean Marcus, right!?
<Marcus`> NRP: yes.
<DeathStar> NRP: Yes. Myria and Marcus blend together for me
* Marcus` slowly stops laughing. "Well uh...what should we do about it?"
<Marcus`> NRP: ;_;
* Myria skids around the corner!
<Fayth> 6Dawn pulls up a pair of energy knives.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns skidding past an entryway. He eyes inside then down at Myria and he dashes in, moving past Dawn, Kat and Marcus.
* Myria leaps into the training room after Dias!
* Marcus` eyes Dawn. "Seriously Kid, you're going to stab a horny girl? Are you uh..you know?" He watches Dias pass by him.
<Fayth> 6Dawn glares daggers, ho ho, at Marcus, then widens his eyes as the predator arrives.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hides behind a punching bag.
<Fayth> <Chii> But I want you... heee...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina suddenly goes red in the cheeks
* Marcus` slowly turns to see Myria. "So..."
* Myria skids in front of both Dawn and Marcus!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gasps. "Oh God."
<Fayth> 6Dawn slips to hide behind Katrina.
* Marcus` slowly looks at Katrina. "Oh god?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly peers his head over the top of the punching bag.
* Myria stalks forward...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina swallows. "Wow. She's overpowering."
<Marcus`> Really? *he pauses and tilts his head* So...do I look like, totally hott?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glares.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'd say she's horny as hell.
* Myria eyes Marcus then Dawn...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. "Let go. Now."
* Marcus` sighs, then holds up his hand defensively, turning to Myria. He pauses and narrows his eyes, then leans forward, pointing at Myria's chest.
<Fayth> <Chii> Pleeeeeeeaaaaaassseeee...?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to free her leg with a snap back
<Fayth> 6Chii sniffles, ready to cry. 1"But, but... B-but I want to eat you until you can feel anything.."
<Chad`Winters> 6A cough can be heard from behind Chii and Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl freezes, like she's about to panic
<Myria> Huh? *looks down*
<Chad`Winters> I'm not interupting anything, am I?
* Marcus` swings a fist out to punch Myria, aiming for a KO shot.
* Ilya is now known as Ariel
<Fayth> <Chii> You're so sexy-- Always smelling of industrial-strength alcohol, big hips, toned but slender..." 6She goes on to describe Cheryl in a rather exclusively private manner.
* Fayth is now known as Kit
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's face gets redder and she trembles.
* Myria ducks to the side at the waist, hands clasped behind her back without moving her feet.
* Marcus` pauses and slowly looks down. "Oh fuck."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina loosens her collar a bit
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl, I need to talk to you. In private.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Holy crap she got fast.
<Marcus`> You're telling me! *he backs up quickly*
* Myria smiles then whips around, leg extended with an unexpectedly strong kick.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Paladin keeps her in heat 24/7 for her speed reflexes*
* Marcus` acks and is swept off his feet.
* Myria then pounces on top of Marcus!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias watches with interest
* Marcus` sighs. "...Myria. I can shoot lasers out of my eyes. So you'd better get off of me."
<Kit> 6Dawn shivers behind Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't turn around; her eyes are locked on Chii
<Kit> 6Chii wags her tail in methods where it curls upon itself, grinning widely and adoringly.
* Myria blinks then puts a pair of goggles on Marcus eyes then goes back to rubbing herself against him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns slowly toward Chad
* Marcus` sighs. "Kat...Dias...Girly Guy...help?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks out of it herself
<Marcus`> ..So, Dias...Girly Guy..help?
<Kit> 6Dawn clings to Katrina, shaking his head at Marcus, looking horrified.
* Chad`Winters stands there, a bothered look on his face. 1"I can have her tranqed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This is all you Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts Dawn's hand to her chest since he's clinging anyway
<Marcus`> You son of a bitch. *he waves his hand in front of Myria's face* Look girl, look, go get it! *he motions towards Dias quickly*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias panics and quickly ducks back down
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shudders. "What did you want?"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer steps into the training room, looking about as though for something to do.
<Chad`Winters> To talk to you about something. 6He studies her. 1"You alright?"
<Kit> 6Dawn peers toward Jennifer, then back to his hand, jerking. His face turns red, then his eyes roll back and he faints.
* Marcus` groans. "So fucking gay." He attempts to stand up, despite Myria being attached to him.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. What did you want?
* Myria But a bird in hand is worth two in the bush! *rubs self against Marcus some more*
* Marcus` shifts to lift Myria up over his shoulder, he glances at Kat. "If I take her away from here, will you be ok?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Dude, you should totally bring her to Therons room
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Huh? Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Dawn
<Chad`Winters> About Aya. 6He crosses his arms now.
* Marcus` turns and steps out, carrying Myria.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. 6* She runs her hand through her hair. "Talk to Megumi, then."
<Seraphna> * jennifer eyes Dawn, she walks over and pokes him with her foot.
<Chad`Winters> I'd rather hear it from you Cheryl. Megumi will beat around the bush too much.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. They fucked with her head, Chad. Looked like you, said things. Roughed her up a bit. They didn't do anything beyond groping.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think they mostly wanted to fire up Megumi and since she freaked out at the simple things, they had no need to go further
* Myria waves at the others as she is carried out.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina relaxes once Myria is out
* Marcus` glances at Myria. "So why are you attacking people, i'm sure if you asked nicely you could get someone to mate with you. A simple 'Please?' and a flash of some boob and you'll be golden"
<Myria> Huh? That's crazy talk!
* Marcus` snorts. "Fancy words coming from you."
* Chad-Work has joined #taw
<Myria> Now, had I wanted to do this in traditional Erusian style, it would have involved more extreme measures. *nods sagely*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer keeps prodding Dawn.
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Chad-Work is now known as Chad`Winters
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Uh, yeah that's fucking creepy as hell." He tilts his head, "And why haven't you went to Theron?"
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"That explains why she's distant and hesitant around me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods and moves down the hallway
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks over her shoulder.
<Kit> 6Dawn shifts and sits up slowly, blinking.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'You okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Dawn herself, looking normal again, except for a slight flush
<Chad`Winters> I know I'm not the poster child for this, but you should talk to someone.
<Myria> I haven't seen him yet...sooooo...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Right. I'll keep that in mind. 6* She moves off, while Chii is out of it
<Chad`Winters> Thank you Cheryl.
<Marcus`> And here you would think that since you two are closest, you would have ran right too him. You must really not like him after all. *he heaves Myria away from him quickly and turns to run away*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Miss?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the easily fainting Dawn. 1"What happened to him?"
* Myria bites on to Marcus' rear!
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'No idea, he's not talking to me it seems."
* Marcus` slows to a stop, glancing over his shoulder. "...if that starts to bleed i'll be really pissed."
<Kit> 6Chii may be out of it-- but still attached.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He can't talk.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Oh! Oops."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: can't
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then pries her off.
<Kit> 6Chii snatches the other leg.
<Seraphna> "Wait... HE?"
<Seraphna> * jennifer
<Kit> 6Dawn gazes between the three. 1"..."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *looking down at him* "Are you sure?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's hard to tell, but he's totally a he.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Jennifer now
<Kit> 6Dawn crosses his arms and frowns now, insulted.
* Myria Ptooey! Bleeeeegh!
* Marcus` is glad he didn't shower, and moves away from her again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's not his fault he's got a very...dainty body.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'Oh, okay..." *eyes him and blushes* "Sorry Mister, you just look so... pretty."
<Kit> 6Dawn reaches over toward Jennifer's face.
* Chad`Winters turns and walks off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Goddammit
<Seraphna> * Jennifer blinks a bit. "What?"
<Kit> 6Dawn snatches her ear, yanking.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'Owowowowowowowow!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks. "Dawn!"
<Myria> Hmmmm... *moves over to Theron's door*
<Kit> 6Dawn lets go, huffing.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer rubs her ears. "Wh-What was that for?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Kat with interest that she basically scolded Dawn.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms. "Apologize, Dawn."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cool. 6He raises his eyebrows
<Kit> 6Dawns smirks and mouths the words 'I'm sorry.' But he's mute.
* Marcus` steps back into the training room, letting out a sigh. "Boy, i'm tired."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks out her leg
<Marcus`> 6* Is the illustrious Theron about? Maybe a knock on the door would reveal.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Marcus then eyes the time. 1"Geeze, can't live upto your old reputation?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I-It's okay..." *she rubs her ear* "Sorry for insulting you... I didn't mean to."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks surprised as well. "I expected you to last longer, Marcus."
<Marcus`> Well, it's an off day. *he slumps with a frown*
* Myria knocks on the door..
<Marcus`> 6* Silence, and then what appears to be an automated response. "I apologize, but I have stepped out." And then it goes to a thing for a message.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I guess practice doesn't make perfect.
* Myria flails her arms!
* Marcus` gives a casual shrug. "Everyone ok? Did Dawn hurt his head when he fainted like a wimp?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm okay now. Thank you
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks and looks at Dawn. 1"You fainted?!"
* Myria *tries hacking the lock*
* Marcus` nods, glad he could help.
<DeathStar> 6* For Myria: Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Down
<DeathStar> 5

<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Hack fail.
<DeathStar> 6* Try again?
* Myria tries again.
<DeathStar> 6* For Myria: Left, Up, Down, Up, Left, Right, Down, Left

<Marcus`> NRP: LOL!
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL! I actually stopped counting down to stare
<Myria> NRP: stoopid types.
<Kit> 6Dawn turns away from Dias, glaring.
<Myria> NRP: typos
<DeathStar> 6* Theron's door opens
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Dawn, well... ummm... good to meet you Mister Dawn..."
* Myria slips inside.
<Marcus`> Eh, I understand. I would've fainted too. *he waves a hand*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So let me get this straight. Big insanely dangerous Dark One who could rip you in two. Not faint. A girl in heat. Faint?
<Marcus`> 6* So Myria has made her way into Theron's room, but can she make it until he returns!?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "In heat...? Wha? Like an animal?"
* Myria flops on the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ditches Chii and moves into her room, closing the door on Chii before she can recover
* Marcus` opens his mouth to say something but catches himself, and laughs once, like he almost fuckedup, and then turns.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, once every 3 years or something. The male erusians go through a lot of hand lotion
<Kit> 6Chii pounds on Cheryl's door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores Chii. And unless she's a hacker, too, she'll remain in the hall
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'Hand lotion...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina groans.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes, then slips a tool into the doorway, sliding it around.
<Kit> 6Dawn shakes his head at Dias, then peers toward Katrina, then his hand.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at Dias curiously, "What do you mean?"
* Marcus` glances over his shoulder. "It's nothign Jennifer. You're too young for this type of conversation."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well it's...6He pauses and then nods. 1"Yeah, it's adult stuff.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'Oh... so, who's in this heat?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's adult stuff, too
<Kit> 6Chii forms a seal with the tool jammed in. 1"Raiton." 6And shocks it.
<DeathStar> 6* The door slides open
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'It sounds dangerous though..."
<Marcus`> I took care of it. So you don't have to worry about it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It is. It's not uncommon for a male Erusian to not have battle wounds
<Kit> <Chii> Oh Cherr~y...~?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up from her bed. "The fuck."
<Kit> 6Chii smiles playfully. Deviously playful. 1"Nothing can withold my feelings for you... They're overflowing..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up in the bed. She eyes Chii. "Knock it off, Chii."
<Marcus`> 6* And so after a bajillion years, or so it may seem like a bajillion years when you're horny, Theron's door opens and a figure steps in, closing the door behind them.
<Myria> Please? *flashes some boob*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer scratches her head a little. 'Okay...' She looks between them all.
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses and drops the training equipment he went to gather up for Jennifer's lessons. He pauses, his eyes locked down, before he glances up. "Miss Myria?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina adjusts her shirt, realizing she had it opened a bit.
* Myria then leaps for him!
* Marcus` coughs, glances up.
<Kit> 6Dawn raises a hand pollitely over his mouth, then moves to leave, embarassed.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer blinks a bit and fixes her tank top unconciously,
<Marcus`> * Theron's eyes widen, and it seems he has realized what is going on, oh too late. He is pounced.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to Marcus and leans in. 1"Dude, is he seriously afraid of girls?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'So I'm... gonna go find something to do?"
* Myria rubs herself against him.
* Marcus` glances at Dias and shrugs after a second of thought. "I guess so. Which is odd considering I first met him with Angela."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina coughs.
* Marcus` pauses. "I mean. I guess. Must suck." He rubs the back of his neck.
<Marcus`> <Theron> M-Miss Myria?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, I mean. 6He eyes Marcus then looks at Kat. 1"Thirsty?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes,actually. 6* She stands up.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at them slightly confused.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches his head and looks at Marcus again. 1"So is he like part of our team now or something?"
* Marcus` glances between the two. "Well, we should probably get you a drink. I know a good bar downtown."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You want to go to a bar this early in the day?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *frowns in her kid like disapproval of drinking*
* Marcus` shrugs. "Well, I am an alcoholic."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? What step you on now?
<Myria> Hmmmm?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Is...is it that time already?
<Marcus`> Wait, there are steps?
<Myria> Mmm-hmmm!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, they give you tokens for every month you stay sober.
<Marcus`> Oh, well I'm on step 0 then.
<Marcus`> * Theron nods though it seems he may be frightened, or...nervous? Hmmm, something is wrong, that's for sure.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Drinking isn't good for you."
* Marcus` pauses and glances over his shoulder at Jennifer. "What if you do it socially?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Either is breathing. Since oxygen makes you old...6He scratches his head looking at Marcus. 1"Right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses as Chii seems to break down, thinking maybe saying knock it off actually worked
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Socially?"
* Marcus` drops his mouth open, then just pauses and stares at Dias.
<Kit> <Chii> Just a little?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares, confused. 1"What?!"
* Marcus` shakes his head. "Yeah, you know, having a beer or two while you hang out with friends. Is that so wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A little...what?
<Myria> Ok! Are we ready to mate?!
<Marcus`> * Theron glances down, then up, then frowns. "It would appear that I am not."
<Myria> Awwww..
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias crosses his arms, insulted now
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'I guess not...' *she frowns, thinking about something* "For most people."
<Marcus`> * Theron seems to hesitate. "I...believe this is what happens after decades of no use."
* Marcus` glances at Dias and pats him on the shoulder, then nods to Jennifer. "Though if you ever drink, you have to be legal age. No point in breaking the law when you're trying to be cool."
<Myria> Huuuuh?
<Marcus`> <Theron> ....I have not mated with someone since my wife. *he frowns, since that was apparently a looong time ago.
<Myria> Oh...
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Law breaking isn't cool."
* Marcus` nods. "Now that's the truth."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It is fun tho.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms, looking at Dias
* Marcus` smakcs Dias in the stomach, eyeing him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hurks and grabs his gut.
<DeathStar> 6* She raises her eyebrow at Marcus now
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *looks at them, tilting her head at Dias* "How?"
<Marcus`> It doesn't matter, Jennifer. Dias has almost been put in jail way too many times to count. Don't listen to him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias waves his free hand dismissively. 1"Nevermind."
* Marcus` smiles, patting Dias' back.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Okay."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias coughs. 1"3 times. In the same day."
<Marcus`> <Theron> ....perhaps there may be something that could...get me...'up' to the occassion?
<Myria> Whaaaat?
* Marcus` nods, "Well Jen, you might want to go see if Raquel wants to do something, i'm sure she could use a friend."
<Marcus`> <Theron> I do not know...perhaps you should do something...sexy?
<Myria> Sexy?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Yes. Sexy.
<Myria> Ok! *then pulls on some heavy black rubber gloves!*
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses and frowns. "....that is not scary. That is frightening."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias coughs again and moves to leave.
<Marcus`> NRP: Sex*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods quietly and starts to slip away. 'Kay."
<Myria> ...darn...
<Marcus`> *Theron clears his throat. "Perhaps you could do a...striptease."
* Marcus` gives a wave to Jen, watching her and Dias leave. He lets out a breath, rubbing his face.
<Myria> Strip...tease...?
<Marcus`> * Theron sighs, "A dance, where you slowly strip. It's a human technique of being sexy, I believe.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches everyone go.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, that was an exciting day
* Myria looks puzzled.
* Marcus` glances at Kat between his fingers, then lowers his hands. "Yeah. I kind of miss those boring days."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? Don't enjoy the excitement of a blue girl wanting you?
<Marcus`> * Theron sighs. "Perhaps you should get naked, then."
<Myria> Ok! *starts undressing!
* Marcus` waves a hand. "When you've had all types of girls wanting you, it really just becomes a hassle."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I see. It must be a great burden.
* Marcus` nods his head. "Huge burden, I'm just glad there's people out there like you that can resist."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I'll resist for your sake. No worries from me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "I think that backfired."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Hmmmm.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It sure did. 6* She keeps smiling
* Marcus` sighs. "Oh well, lesson learned from me. You don't flirt with a master, and expect to come out ahead." He winks.
* Myria flops on the bed then!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If that was flirting, your strategy is very strange.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Marcus`> Usually if you can confuse the girl, you pretty much succeed in your goal.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias walks past Dias
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that how you work
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias admires himself as he walks past himself
<DeathStar> 6* Dias gives himself a thumbs up
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gives himself two thumbs up
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head. "...perhaps if you did not flop. If you tried to be seductive."
<DeathStar> <Dias> Looking good.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Always in your finest.
<Marcus`> Used too work, sorta.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias makes a click sound at himself and moves on down the hallway
<Myria> Seductive?
<Marcus`> * Theron slumps, rubbing his face, then he pauses and pulls up his datapad, shwoing Myria a video of a woman dancing seductively.
* Myria blink blinks.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> On who?
<Marcus`> Random girls that I couldn't tell you their names even if I was sober at the time. *he rubs his chin* Maybe Angela, I can't remember.
<Marcus`> * Theron glances from her and then too the video.
* Myria wiggles at Theron.
<Marcus`> * Theron glances at Myria and then sets the datapad aside, he pulls of his shirt, revealing his super hot Erusian chest, man that must drive Myria crazy right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin accidently clicks the wrong camera and goes blind from the chest
<DeathStar> 6* Goddamn Warren
<Kit> <Freyja> Hmm, so you can have fun too.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. 6* She nods.
<Kit> 6Freyja peers over Paladin's shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Wrong button. 6* He looks at Freyja now.
* Myria launches ehrself at Theron again!
<Kit> <Freyja> Suuure." 6She peers at him skeptically.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-WorkAholic
<Kit> <Chii> A little bit of this... A little bit of that...? Mmm...
* Marcus` shrugs. "But you probably couldn't care less."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin checks to see if she went through proper procedures by checking the guard post.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not really, no.
<Marcus`> * Theron is pounced and if Myria would work it right, she would succeed in her goal!
<DeathStar> NRP: How the mighty fall
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Sorry about that."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's okay. 6* She smiles.
<Marcus`> So, I have something pretty serious on my mind, but I don't know if I should talk about it to you.
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Paladin even more skeptically. 1"Yes, I went through your underlings. You can't evade suspicion that easily."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? 6* She gets a serious look on her face.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It's good to see you again. Is there a way I can get in touch with you easier?
<Marcus`> It's about Jennifer. *he says with a nod*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What about her?
<Kit> <Freyja> Mm? Me? Well, have you ever even tried?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I don't know how. Warren didn't have a contact number for you listed.
* Marcus` glances up. "Think we can talk about it somewhere more private?"
* Myria givess Theron his moment of glory!
<Kit> <Freyja> I don't have one. Originally one didn't exist. We only kept a temporary secure line.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, then nods. "Okay."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves for her bedroom
<Marcus`> 6* Hardly, Theron rocked Myria's world, multiple times, HO HO HO.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I see. Then we should set up one.
* Marcus` moves after Kat, hands behind his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin opens a drawer, handing her a comm link
<Kit> 6Freyja peers at it. 1"Mmm, another one. You want to contact me for some reason?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You could be useful. Plus, if something happened to Chii, that you don't sense, this would be a quick way to let you know.
* Marcus` glances at her after they step in, the closes the door. "Jennifer is sexually active."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks. "Really?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Pretty sure I'd sense it. There's really only one reason I wouldn't notice a change in her.
<Marcus`> Well...sorta. *he rubs his head, wondering how he can explain it properly*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wait. You didn't...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks him awkwardly, wondering how else Marcus would know, and would be so awkward.
Session Close: Mon May 12 00:00:00 2008

Session Start: Mon May 12 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #taw
* Marcus` pauses and then groans. "Oh wow. Thanks for the vote fo confidence Kat."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, you're acting very strange.
<Kit> 6Dawn stares into Paladin's office. He points, gawking.
<Marcus`> It was the Scar, the one that was with Chii.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> What would that be?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin peers at Dawn oddly.
<Kit> <Freyja> We cease to be one and the same.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer meanwhile, sits in her room, doing some homework.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Ah.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh! Ohhhh.. Jesus. I can't...who did he pose as?
<Kit> 6Freyja tilts her head at the mute, who spazzes, then walks over and types out for Paladin. 1"Chii's a shapeshifter..!?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> This is her twin sister.
<Kit> 6Freyja leans over and reads it, baffled, then giggles.
<Marcus`> The same person that he remained as the entire time he was here.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wait. As Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wow. Maybe Aya's paper has some weight to it. 6* She frowns.
* Marcus` rubs his left ear, nodding once. "Y-what?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, Aya has a thesis being written about the rise of lesbians in the population and reasons for it.
<Marcus`> Oh, well whatever the case, I uhh, well I couldn't tell Natalie, and it doesn't appear Jen has, even though she promised that she would.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sighs and rolls over, staring up at her cieling.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, rubbing her arms as she thinks. "I see. Wow. I guess I should try to talk to her about it."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How far did they go?
<Marcus`> I uh, didn't ask. Since you know, I was already freaked out.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs.
<Kit> 6Dawn stares at Freyja, then retreats at the mention of sister, both understanding and frowning. He sighs.
<Kit> 6Freyja peers at Paladin. 1"What's with him?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Freyja. "Sister issues."
<Marcus`> I mean, I think I did a good job of calming her down, since she seems normal now. But I still think that maybe she's masking it or something. I mean, she's handling this better than...well most anyone else would.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh. Makes sense. That's why he's crying, right?
<Kit> 6Dawn raises an eyebrow.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ... 6* He looks at Dawn
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll talk to her.
<Kit> 6Dawn shrugs at Paladin.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer puts a hand to her face and sighs a bit, before pulling the hand away, staring at it, her fake one.
* Marcus` nods his head. "Thanks Kat. I'll owe you."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "I'll go find her."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks back at Freyja.
<Kit> <Freyja> Hrmph. People with voices should use them.
* Marcus` gives a nod, then opens the door to her room and steps out into the hall.
<Kit> 6Dawn narrows his eyes, glaring at Freyja, who blinks and stares back, narrowing her own, grinning. The two go silent, staring one another down.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits there, not really needed for this scene
<Marcus`> 6* Theron lays on his bed after the fact, breathing rythmically.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sits up, she grabs her father's guitar from beside the bed, and sets it on her lap, starting to play a calming tune.
* Myria sitting up in the bed, drinking a delicious Omega Coke.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves to the room Jen is on, knocking
<Seraphna> * Jenn stops playing a moment, looking up, "Come in."
<Marcus`> * Theron sits up, and moves over to his fridge, pulling out an Omega Coke, he opens it and drinks from it.
<Kit> 6Dawn jerks back, his face twisted into alarm, heaving. Freyja leans her head back, giggling with glee. 1"Huh, who taught him to do that?"
<Marcus`> * Theron peers at Myria. "Miss Myria?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps in. "Hello, Jennifer."
<Myria> Huh?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Are you...ok?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears to have tuned Chii out, in self-defense
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sits up, moving the guitar aside, "Miss McCormick, hello!"
<Myria> I guess so.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hi. Do you play? 6* She motions at the guitar
<Marcus`> * Theron glances off to the side. "I am rusty, perhaps I didn't do as well as I thought."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods, "Yeah, Dad taught me."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Freyja. "Taught him what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Mind if I sit?"
<Myria> You have three years to practice unless I have a relapse before the week is over.
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmm, trying to get a feel for my mind never bodes well for others. I didn't take him for that sort. Don't you know it's rude to invade a lady's personal space, kiddo?" 6She smiles at Dawn.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer scoots to the side, giving her some room. "Sure."
<Marcus`> * Theron arches a brow. "I see. Who will I practice upon?"
<Kit> 6Dawn closes his eyes and crosses his arms stubbornly.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Dawn
<Kit> <Freyja> Not very good at it, either way.
<Kit> 6Dawn twitches.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You've been practicing with Miss. McCormick?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits on the edge of the bed. "So, how have you been?"
<Kit> <Freyja> I wonder who could shoot straighter from one acre to the next, though?
<Myria> Uhhhh...
<Kit> 6Dawn frowns at Freyja, then nods to Paladin.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I've been... alright, and you?"
<Kit> <Freyja> He probably figures that since his sister is one, he must have some sort of knack as well. Shame it isn't always true.
<Kit> 6Dawn looks stricken.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "I'm well. I was wondering how you were after the incident with the Scar pretending to be Cheryl."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer flinches a little, but quickly recovers, forcing a smile. "I-I'm fine."
<Marcus`> * Theron peers. "It is simply unfortunate that it could not be you that I was to practice with."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches out, putting her hand on Jennifer. "I'd like to talk with you about it, if you're comfortable enough to do that."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin studies the two.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks down in shame, "A-Alright..."
<Kit> 6Chii merely sneaks in further, almost drooling.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl still doesn't move, nor speak.
<Myria> Ohhhhhhh....well...
* Myria buries herself under the covers.
<Myria> NRP: Cause its bed time for Jackie.
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head, "Hmm. I see."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina touches Jen's cheek. "There's nothing to be ashamed of, Jennifer. Why don't you tell me what happened."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I-I... I thought it was Cheryl... and... well... I just..."
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles toward Paladin. 1"He's cute and funny. Can we keep him?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, letting her take her time
<Kit> 6Dawn gulps and clenches his fists, then turns to leave.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Please don't tease him.
* Myria has left #taw
<Kit> 6Chii leans over the bed, grinning.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tenses.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Would you like to go for brunch, Freyja?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> 'I-I told Nat about it..." *she looks down*
<DeathStar> 6* Something lands on Marcus' back - not too heavy, and little arms wrap around his throat
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "How did she take it?"
* Marcus` pauses and looks behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing there, since the thing shifts on his back
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Too well I think..." *frowns* "I-I'm not a lesbian..."
* Marcus` pauses and takes the little arm and pulls it up so he can look at the creature that is on him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, smiling. "Okay. It would be alright if you were, though, you know. Or if you were bi. I'm bisexual."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> There's nothing wrong with it.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes him
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I... I don't think about toehr girls like that... Scar... Cheryl... whatever... was teaching me."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "So Cheryl offered to teach you. What did she teach you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy appears to be six years old these days
* Marcus` pauses and then tilts his head. "Funny...you look familier to me."
<DeathStar> <Billy> I should, slave. I hear you have a new girl on base. Well, a guy that looks like a girl.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I think I could docture the photos if you get some
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? Since when did you learn photomanipulation?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Kissing and... ummm... s-some stuff to do... in bed..." *goes deep red and looks down*
<DeathStar> <Billy> Evil 101. Here's your share of the Jennifer profits. 6* Holds up 1,000 credits
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Okay. How did it make you feel?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps her eyes on Chii, as if waiting for her to make a move. Paladin waits for an answer from Freyja
* Marcus` pauses, and takes the credits. "What is this, 1%"
<Kit> <Chii> C'mon Cherry, ...hmmm...
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hey. I'll have you know that's 5%!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* Since Chii is still talking and not near her, she just remains tensed
<Marcus`> Really? The pedophile's must be getting cheap these days.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I... the way she was talking to me and treating me... really... special..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, your shot wasn't the best
<Marcus`> Well when i'm put under some crazy spell, I don't get the option of logical though.
<Kit> 6Chii crawls along the ground toward Cheryl. 1"Come an' play..."
<Marcus`> NRP: Thought*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, putting an arm around Jennifer. "I understand. You should understand, Jen, that sex is something that's very special. I know that she was teaching you, and that threated you special, but you have to keep in mind that your body is something that's valuable. To you and to the person you chose to be intimate with. So you shouldn't easily engage in acts unless you're really sure beforehand."
* Marcus` shifts so Billy's sitting on his shoulder as he walks along through the halls of the base.
<DeathStar> <Billy> True
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at him, studying him. "You cut your hair and shaved your face."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer gulps a little and nods, her hand gripping her sheets a little violently.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl remains safely in the bed.
<Marcus`> Yeah, you like it?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her arm. "But what Scar did is his wrong. Not yours. You didn't do anything wrong, sweetie, okay? I want you to remember that."
<Kit> 6Chii crawls up upon the bed, smiling softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. As if waiting for Chii to get within a foot of her personal space.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods again, holding back tears, "K-Kay..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses her cheek. "There's nothing wrong with you. Ever. I just want you, in the future, to keep in mind how special it is and to be sure first. So people like him don't take advantage of you."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin shifts. "I'll pay."
<Kit> 6Chii lies down on her stomach, posing for Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hm. I don't know. I kinda like the old you look. Made you more dangerous
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. Posing seems to be fine so far.
<Marcus`> Yeah? Huh, most people seem to think I look more mature now.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods and releases her sheets, hugging Kat, starting to cry.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Psch. Mature is overrated.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hugs the girl back, patting her back. "It'll be okay. You can let it all out."
<Marcus`> I dunno, Mature is what gets me a girlfriend.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Bleh.
<Marcus`> What's so bleh about a girlfriend?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Why would you want a girlfriend?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods and keeps crying, pent up tears flowing out.
<Marcus`> Well, they smell nice, for starters.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Bleh.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds her as long as Jennifer needs to cry.
<Marcus`> Bleh!? Smelling nice is a very important thing, you know.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I smell nice. 6* She mumbles.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer eventually calms down, breathing slowly. "Th-Thank you... M-Miss McCormick..."
* Marcus` pauses and shifts, sniffing her. "Hmmm."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's okay. You can call me Katrina if you want. 6* She smiles at the girl.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smells like strawberries.
<Marcus`> Is that strawberry flavored perfume?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles weakly and nods, 'Okay M--- Katrina."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Shampoo.
<Marcus`> Ohh. *he sniffs her again* It's nice. Makes me hungry though. *he arches a brow, smiling at Billy*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts a hand under Jen's chin, tilting it up. "Now, remember to hold your chin high. It's okay to have a good cry, and to talk to a friend when you need to, but keep your chin up, because you have done nothing to be ashamed of."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wiggles her eyebrows. "Really?"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods, an odd look on her face as she looks at Kat. "R-Right..."
<Marcus`> Yeah, very hungry.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay. And please, talk to me if you have something on your mind. I'm always willing to listen.
<Kit> <Freyja> Interesting children you keep about, Paladin. Brunch, you say? Like last time?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I-I will... thank you..."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes. We can talk about things. 6* He stands up. "Yes. I care about everyone on my unit."
* Marcus` pauses and stops at a vending machine, getting a candy bar. "Ahhh, that's better."
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmh, I wouldn't mind. it was quite pleasant last time.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sighs. "Bastard."
<Kit> 6Chii grows increasingly annoyed at the lack of advances.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just sits there, almost as if she were broken.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks down, her real hand playing at her fake one. "I umm..."
* Marcus` bites into the candy bar and arches a brow at her, then offers it too her. "S-sorry?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "I enjoyed it as well." 6* He steps out, moving down the hallway
* Chad-WorkAholic has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Billy snatches it grumpily.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes?
<Kit> 6Freyja moves to follow him, tapping her lip.
<Marcus`> So how've you been, kiddo?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Have you thought about joining the unit as Chii has done?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Good, I guess.
<Marcus`> Business doing good?
<DeathStar> <Billy> I smell more evil on you. I guess you're not doing so hot.
* Marcus` glances down at himself, then shrugs. "Doing better than Dias or Cheryl."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "It's just... well... no one's ever treated me quite like this since... well..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shrugs. "Well, yeah. I guess. Cheryl wears evil well. You seem like a nice guy."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tilts her head a bit. "Since?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Since... Mom... before I crossed over the first time." *her voice almost dies as her thoughts go to her mother*
* Marcus` arches a brow. "I wasn't a nice guy before?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, you are a nice guy. So evil doesn't suit you
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh. I imagine you miss her a lot. 6* She notes, putting her hand on Jen's real hand
<Marcus`> Oh, well, We can't all be perfect images of evil. But I try, that counts, right?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods, 'I-I left her behind... running after Dad...'
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I don't even know if she's alright... I..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squeezes her hand. "It must have been hard for you. But you wanted to be with your dad."
<DeathStar> <Billy> *rolls eyes* Sure. You try to be evil. I guess banging chicks counts.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I wanted to be with both of them... she'd thought I was dead... I abandoned her..."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer closes her eyes.
<Marcus`> And now that i'm cutting back on that, i'm just losing all of my appeal. I bet you're finding me less and less attractive, right?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, I hear you want a steady girl. You can always pick me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Jennifer a hug
<Marcus`> If I picked you, I would totally be evil.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, with your corruption going up, it'd suit you
<Kit> <Chii> Cherry!
<DeathStar> 6* Twitch
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I'm so worried... and I might never know if she's okay..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sorry. I know it must be difficult.
<Marcus`> You're probably right. I mean, it's not like that's even a big deal around here anymore.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Totally.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I wouldn't be surprised if Lilith and Raquel did it with each other. 6* She winks
* Marcus` pauses and arches a brow. "Are you by chance giving me some insider information?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't move. And since Chii is just posing, they'rein a stand off.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Gross.
<Marcus`> You said it!
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *nods* "Sometimes... I just... I tell myself it's no problem that I don't... that... I don't deserve..." *she starts to cry again*
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm her friend. I can say it
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin opens the door Freyja, like a gentleman
<DeathStar> *6* Katrina holds the girl again. She needs a lot of cries, it seems.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer is letting out many months of pent up cries.
<Marcus`> Oh that's just silly. If that's the case then you can't call Dias a moron, only I can.
<Kit> <Freyja> Thought about it, perhaps." 6She chuckles.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer calms again slowly, wiping her eyes. "I must seem pretty pathetic..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm his friend, too. 6* She holds up a friend card with Dias' name signed.
<Kit> <Freyja> I was given the option, you see, before.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No, you don't at all, sweetie.
<Marcus`> Oh...well damn. *he tilts his head, thinking* Is there anyone that i'm friends with that you aren't?
<DeathStar> 6* Getting into the car after Freyja, he glances at her. "No desire?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> The counselor.
<DeathStar> <Billy> But since you want to fuck her brains out, I don't think she counts as a friend. Unless you want to put her under fuck buddy.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "O-Oh..."
<Kit> <Freyja> Not particularly. I have my whims, you see.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Alright. A shame. I could use someone with your talent."
<Marcus`> Does it count if that fucking her brains out is only a perk that comes from being her boyfriend?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Jen a gentle smile.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Billy> She seems easy enough that she'd probably do you without the boyfriend status. Maybe she'd even do a threesome with you and Chii.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer hugs her tight.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods again, driving out of the base
<Marcus`> You think so? But if I did that, then you can pretty much garuntee that Zephyr wouldn't want anything to do with me. Right?
<DeathStar> <Billy> What? You want her too?
<Marcus`> I want everyone. I'm greedy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy rolls her eyes.
<Kit> <Freyja> That's quite like the men around this unit-- to use. Hee.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Freyja, raising a brow. "It might seem like using, but the fact is you could save and protect a lot of lives."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina returns the hug
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I... feel a lot better now."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm glad.
<Marcus`> But then again, Zephyr is technically a little girl in a big girl's body...so that would basically just be like me being with you, if you were still in that 18 year old body. *he smiles at the thought of that*
<DeathStar> <Billy> You boinked Cheryl, didn't you? Don't see what would stop you from doing Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy scowls
<Marcus`> Good point Bills, good point. *he glances at her* You're not jealous are you?
<DeathStar> <Billy> ...
<Marcus`> Nah, you probably just get sick of me being a typical guy.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles and brushes some hair away from her face, hooking it behind her ear, she's been growing it out all this time, it runs halfway down her back now.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy opens the candy car and takes a big, annoyed bite out of it
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's hair isn't nearly that long, so nyeh
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You think you'll be okay now?
<Marcus`> Who do you think would be a good girl for me, if you HAD to choose.
<Kit> <Freyja> If they're meant to be lost, should I really save them? Some must be lost so others can continue, you know.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy takes out the kind of lighter that stays lit after you flick it on, then drops it down Marcus' shirt. She hops off of him
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods. 'I'm gonna practice a bit I think..." *she looks at her guitar*
<Marcus`> Gah! *he flails around, jerking his shirt off quickly*
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I don't believe in that kind of logic.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts on the bed away from Chii an inch, as if she might not notice it
<Kit> <Freyja> Really? Then I don't think we'll get along very well anwyay.
* Marcus` eyes the burn marks on his chest and sighs. "Right, glad so see where you stand, Bills."
<Kit> 6Chii moves an inch closer.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shrugs. "It matches the tattoos." 6* She walks off
<Marcus`> What? I don't even get a hug goodbye?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> While I'm not delusional that everyone can be saved, I believe that it's my duty to at least try to do what is within my capabilities.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy gives him a bird and rounds a corner
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes back to not moving and being tense
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods and smiles. "Alright." 6* She stands up and moves for the door
* Marcus` eyes his shirt, since it's caught on fire, he stomps it out and sighs, walking on down the hall.
<Kit> <Freyja> Where's the balance in that?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Freyja, then ahead. "The balance is the unit. The Dark Ones take lives. I see us as the balance to it. We attempt to save lives. To stop them."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer has the guitar back in her lap by the time Kat reaches the door, strumming a few notes to a song she learned from Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii again, the dangerous fox and dragoon game continuing
<Kit> 6Chii looks more determined than ever.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out into the hallway, moving down it, toward---someone!
* Marcus` walks along, no shirt, well, the burnt one draped over his shoulder, he sees Kat, and arches a brow, since he's curious how things went.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Marcus oddly with his new attire.
<Marcus`> Billy. *he says with a wave of his hand, since that should explain it all* Sooo?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ah. 6* She nods. "We talked. I think she's feeling better."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides backwards against the bedframe
* Marcus` nods. "Good. She didn't uh, get mad that I told you or anything, right?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No.
* Marcus` breathes a sigh of relief. "Thanks Kat. Really, I didn't think it was a conversation that I should be having with a young teen."
<Kit> 6Chii descends upon the same space.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chii moves into her area, Cheryl swings a fist out for Chii's jaw - a right hook
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "It's okay, you did the right thing."
<Kit> 6Chii's head snaps back and she makes a pitiful sound before collapsing backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, eyeing Chii, as if surprised she went down that easily
* Marcus` nods his head once. "Good, I was afraid I might mess up and make things worse on her." He gives a half-smile to Kat. "Well, I guess i'm going to go." He moves to leave, then pauses. "Say, Kat. What's one place that makes you happy?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks. "Huh?" 6* She stares, then thinks. "I'm not really sure."
<Marcus`> Oh...you should figure that out, so I can take you there. *He smiles, and starts to walk away.*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers after him. "I'll keep that in mind."
<Kit> 6Chii lies on her back, her nose bleeding.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shit
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over to check on Chii
<Kit> 6Chii has a neutral, sleeping face-- but there's a welt along her left side of the jaw, so the nosebleed probably has nothing to do with being punched.
* Marcus` moves a finger to his brow an gives a polite bow of his head, having been walking backwards the whole time. "Bye, Kat." He shifts around in a circle smoothy, then moves around the corner.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl props her head up with a pillow and moves back to the sitting on the bed, putting her head in her hands

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the hallway with her alcohol, not really wanting to eye a KOed Chii
* Marcus` steps up to Cheryl, peering down at her. He's got another shirt on, a black on. "Hey."
<Marcus`> NRP:one*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts, bringing the liquor to her lips
* Marcus` arches a brow. "So, couldn't just make it to your room?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii's in there.
<Marcus`> Oh. *he rubs the side of his face* Want me to get her out?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Don't bother."
<Marcus`> Alright. *he moves over to sit down with his back against the wall opposite of her* So I think me and Dias are friends again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good.
* Marcus` nods his head once. "Yep." He rests his head back against the wall. "So. Why's Chii in there?" He motions to Cheryl's room.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I knocked her out.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Serious?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. 6* She takes another long swallow of alcohol.
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "What'd she do, hit on you again?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<Marcus`> Ah. *he nods* Poor Chii, I wouldn't doubt if she couldn't control herself this time around. That is, if she was around Myria as least.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She sips the alcohol, making a face.
* Marcus` shakes his head. "Those Erusians sure are strange."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm. 6* She eyes the alcohol, then throws it all back and tosses the bottle to the side
* Marcus` watches her, wondering if her actions means he opened up a can of worms. He tilts his head, going quiet for a long while.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl aids the quiet
<Marcus`> You're not the type of person that really requires talks or pats on the back, when things go badly for them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes him, then ahead. "Hate 'em."
<Marcus`> Even if maybe the talk could shift your view of yourself, you prefer to be who you are, and believe in what you believe, and you don't really like anyone tell you anything different.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes Marcus, since he isn't saying anything she doesn't know
<Marcus`> But sometimes Cheryl, you need someone to get in your face and tell you how wrong you are.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh?
<Marcus`> Yeah. I don't know everything, but I know that you calling yourself a whore, yeah that bothered me. Because it's not true.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts and rolls her eyes, looking away.
<Marcus`> You avert your eyes, because you don't want to go into it again, you believe it to be true, so it must be true. You slept with one person to get another to leave you alone. And so you think that makes you a whore.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What do you define it as?
<Marcus`> Well considering the definition of a whore, I don't consider it that way. And if you regret the act, then you could consider it a mistake. But if you don't, then you could just say you did what you wanted, and you don't regret that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A whore is someone who sleeps with someone for money. My payment was Dias leaving me alone. That pretty much fits my defintion
* Marcus` just snorts. "You can take any situation and manipulate it to get what you need out of it. But let's play along with this. You're a whore, do you hate yourself for it? You make it a point to be known, does that mean you want to whore yourself out some more? My definition of a whore is someone that sleeps with loads of people. And as far as I can tell, that's not you. Hell, i'm the whore if either of us is."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just snorts.
<Marcus`> I proved before that I could see who you were more clearly than most everyone else. Is it really such a long shot that I may be right, that you're not a whore, just a person that made a bad decision?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "Fine. I made a 'bad decision'." 6* She relents.
* Marcus` nods his head once. "So you'll stop beating yourself up over it? People make bad decisions everyday. It's a 50/50 chance, and you can't always win."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders casually.
* Marcus` watches her, then nods. "Alright. I'll accept that." He rests his head back some. "What do you think about Zephyr's new bond?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever floats her boat.
<Marcus`> Of course, it's just. Megumi is an odd choice in my opinion.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs
* Marcus` shifts to put his weight on his left side, pulling his arms crossed. "Can I ask you something?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Marcus`> This whole corruption deal. *he motions at his scars* Do you not worry about what'll happen when you reach your limit?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Marcus`> Me and Dias always assumed that when we reached out limit we would die, since this came as a side effect of sacrificing ourselves anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "That would be nice, I guess."
* Marcus` frowns. "You really think it would? What's so wrong with living, anyway?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Better than going evil and killing everyone.
* Kuroichigo has joined #taw
* Marcus` arches a brow and pauses. "Well, yeah, that's true. I guess I never thought about that part of it." He rubs his chin. "So either way, death or evil, that still won't change the amount of power you use?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. If I go evil, I'll be put down
<Marcus`> And it doesn't bother you that if it happens, it'll destroy Chii?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii'll turn into a baby and get over it
<Marcus`> What about me. I'll be sad, too.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Most likely you'll be in the same boat if you keep using your powers.
<Marcus`> Lucky for me that I keep a mind's eye on it. And once I see what it does to you or Dias, I may stop using them altogether.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fair enough
* Kuroichigo is now known as Megumi
<Marcus`> I know that i'm not your best friend, and we're not lovers or any of that. But it really does make me sad that death seems to be a type of relief that you're waiting on.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You'll get over it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him.
<Marcus`> Seems like i'll have too.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Long as we're clear.
<Marcus`> You know what's funny to me? The way I reacted to you when we first met.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at him with a strange expression. She probably remembers.
* Kit has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Marcus`> I'd never seen someone that enjoyed the fight so much, and it frightened me. But now, I only really feel life when i'm in the middle of a fight. Funny how that changed over time.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So I'm not a monster to you anymore?
<Marcus`> You haven't been a monster to me fore a very long time, Cheryl. Besides, I turn into a wolf, I literally am a monster.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
* Kit has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kit
<Marcus`> Tell me something, how frustrating is it, to be a person that wants nothing more than to be left alone so you can do your job, and yet have all these people come around wanting to be your best friend?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him.
* Marcus` arches a brow, it would seem that if Cheryl thinks he may have an agenda, he doesn't appear to have one.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs.
* Marcus` bows his head in a nod. "Alright, enough about you, I bet i'm getting annoying. So, me. Umm, I cut my hair and shaved.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hadn't noticed.
<Marcus`> Yeah? Part of this whole mature thing i'm aiming for. I've been a big kid for so long that I guess it's abot time that I try to be more of a man.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good luck with that
<Marcus`> Yeah, it's not easy.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her empty bottle sadly
<Marcus`> I sorta decided that one step to proving that i'm growing up, is to try to get a serious girlfriend. Since i'm not really known for my commitment.
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes him slowly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? Katrina, eh?
<Marcus`> Well she was the first one that came to mind, since she was searching for something serious before. But it would seem she's only here for Chii, and anything other than Chii is not really worth much. *he gives a slight shrug at that*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ouch. Burn.
<Marcus`> Yeah. So after Kat, I thought about a few others, dunno if you really want me to list them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the wall, shrugging.
<Marcus`> Angela, Natalie, Zephyr, You.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is bored, until he says Zephyr, in which she starts to turn her head toward him to eye him, but then just stares completely fucking mindblown by the time he says "You"
* Marcus` notices her reaction and nods his head. "Guess I should explain."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her mouth, and makes her eyes less wide. "Yeah."
<Marcus`> Zephyr was the first person that I ever told that I loved. Back on the PAX2 we were getting really close, then out of the blue, she decided she wanted to be an adult and I was too immature for her anymore. So that effectively ended that. Now she's around my age again, and she's the type of girl I enjoy just spending random amount of time with. Granted I know she's your sister, and if I hurt her you would do more than hurt me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. More than would be right
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him like he's prey.
<Marcus`> I know, I understand, it's why i'm not taking this lightly, i'm really searching for someone to have a serious relationship with. As for why I said you, Well, I like how open I can be around you, sure if I piss you off you'll let me know, but it's nice to have the freedom. Also, we've been close in one sense or another, despite how you feel about it. The only reason I haven't attempted to pursue a relationship with you is that I <cont>
<Marcus`> understand your view on it, that it's something you don't do, and I respect that, and i'm more than content being your friend, and if pursueing a relationship would ruin that. I wouldn't want to do it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him again, clearly caught off guard.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's, uh, sweet, I guess, but I'll have to turn you down. On the relationship thing.
* Marcus` gives a laugh. "That's cool, I never really thought you were interested in me anyway."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well.. 6* She shrugs, eyeing the wall. "I'm not girlfriend stuff. Angela would adore to be your girl."
<Marcus`> True, but the fact that you're not really the girlfriend type is what makes it so appealing, or at least I think so.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, eyeing Marcus. "You're sounding like Chii. You should add HER to your list."
* Chad-WorkAholic has joined #taw
* Marcus` pauses and then holds up a hand. "Sorry, I know you get it from her all the time. So I'll cut it out. I respectfully accept your decline."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, relaxing again. "Good."
<Marcus`> Maybe I should go after Chii. Might help you out a bit, wouldn't it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods.
<Marcus`> Though really, Chii still can't grasp the whole, being with one person bit, so it may just not really change anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, eyeing the floor. "Heh."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess I could fuck her, then. Wouldn't really matter, right? She'd have Katrina still, and whoever else.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Do you really think that would accomplish anything? I mean, do you like her, or love her?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't love anything or anyone, Marcus
<Marcus`> Fair enough, then do you at least get horny? Since I don't think you should sleep with Chii just to satisfy her. But if you actually wanted too, then well...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Yeah, I get horny."
* Chad-WorkAholic is now known as Chad`SleepingSadFace
<Marcus`> Then hey, if you wanted to go at it with her, you should. But I wouldn't suggest it if was just to appease her. Since most likely, it will cause her to think you love her in return.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "But she sleeps with everyone she cares about, right? So it's no big deal. It wouldn't mean anything."
<Marcus`> Since she sleeps with the people she cares about, I think it would. Since, thanks to Kat, that's the only way she feels she can express that. So, in return, she believes that's the way people show they care for her as well. Even though I could go fuck her and not feel a thing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know what she wants from me, really. If I'm just like everyone else in her eyes, that would be more acceptable. If I knew she'd fuck you, then I definitely could have sex with her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just so she'll quit begging me.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl adverts her eyes.
<Marcus`> I imagine it gets annoying.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> See? I'm a whore. I'd sleep with her just to make her stop.
<Marcus`> It just means you would take the easy way out. Maybe that makes you someone that would rather avoid challenges.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe.
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
* Marcus` tilts his head. "What did you mean, about if she would fuck me, that you could?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, keeping her eyes adverted.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It wouldn't mean anything special, right? 6* She shrugs
<Marcus`> Ah, ok. I get it.
<Marcus`> It's the emotional connection, isn't it?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't answer, but her body shifts, tensing somewhat
<Marcus`> If I get too personal, just tell me to fuck off, but you shared an emotional connected with Warren, the real one from this reality, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the wall.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. 6* If she's lying, or not, it's hard to tell.
* Marcus` frowns. "Ok. Nevermind, then. I thought I understood, but maybe I'm looking at things wrong."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps eyeing the wall, not saying anything to that line. She plays her cards close to the chest
<Marcus`> Would you like to hear my opinion on what to do with Chii?
<DeathStar> 6* She glances at him, as if waiting
<Marcus`> Give her the ultimatum. She's either your friend, or nothing at all. And make it clear, you feel nothing for her, because with Chii, you've got to be completely blunt. You set it out and if she says she loves you and can't JUST be your friend, you write her off.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* She frowns.
<Marcus`> You know, sometimes I think you really wished that you did love Chii. Because honestly, it would make things easier.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ............... 6* She doesn't argue that point, but then again, she's silent alot.
* Marcus` glances up at the ceiling, and then lowers his eyes to Cheryl. "If you really thought that me sleeping with Chii would make things easier on you two, I would consider putting my maturing bit on the back burner. This isn't me just trying to avoid that, it's me offering that I would help."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Would you? 6* She asks him, eyeing the wall
<Marcus`> I would. *he pauses* But what if it turned out that Chii developed feelings for me too? I don't mind helping, but I do want to point out the possibilities.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Better you than me.
<Marcus`> But if it turns into another Katrina situation? Wouldn't it really just make things worse, or actually, it wouldn't really change anything, but maybe buy you some time.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She shakes her head. "No. If she wants to sleep with you, then do it."
<Marcus`> Alright. I'll consider the thought. *he pauses for a moment* Though I could just sit down and try to explain to Chii that a friendship is all you want. I'm sure you've said that, but people tend to only hear what they want. So, maybe I can convince her otherwise. Would you rather I do that?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. I'd rather you sleep with her. I'd rather know I'm nothing special.
* Marcus` frowns. "Alright, i'll see what I can do." He pauses and rubs his chin. "Just as long as you answer something for me. What makes you so sure that you're not girlfriend material?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Marcus.
* Marcus` looks as if he's just curious, not that he's going to lead this into another round of convince Cheryl to date him.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... I don't love anyone. Or anything. I'm a weapon. My real joy comes from tearing my enemies apart. And one day I'll be dead. End of story.
<Marcus`> But in between the battles and before the death, you can't have someone there to spend time with and thing like that? Not all relationships require love. That's something that usually comes after the fact.
<Marcus`> NRP: things*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't have a need.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Most I like to do is drink and get into brawls.
* Marcus` nods his head. "Makes sense, if you're a weapon, you just want to fight. Though, I am curious about Zephyr. You're protective of her, but does that have nothing to do with loving her as a sister?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him very dangerously.
* Marcus` holds up his hands defensively. "Just curious. You don't have to answer."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns back to the wall. Apparantly not.
* Marcus` nods his head once, and then shifts to stand. "I'm positive that is just something I wouldn't understand, sorry I asked."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Forget about it
<DeathStar> 6* She shrugs
<Marcus`> I'll get Chii out of you room so you can lay down and drink some more if you want. *he says, with a glance to the door*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Leave her
<Marcus`> Alright. Well, if I managed to seal the deal, I'll let you know. *he gives her a nod and then moves to walk off* Later.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Later.

<DeathStar> 6* And so, a KOed Chii would finally awaken with a pillow under her head, and a sheet over her body
<Kit> 6Chii reaches up and slaps the side of her face to wake up, jerking as she does and yelling loudly. 1"Th-The fuck!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, who was laying next to her, clothed in her tank top and underwear combo, snorts a bit from a nightmare from the yell.
<DeathStar> 6* She opens her eyes tiredly.
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-wh-what happened? When'd I get here..!? Why... why's my jaw sore!?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hit you. 6* She mumbles tiredly.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh? Oh.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> After you wanted sex.
<Kit> <Chii> I-- ..huh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You heard me.
<Kit> <Chii> The last thing I remember is holding a keesh.

<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Apparantly Myria made you go into a sexual overdrive occuring to Marcus, so I'll overlook the attempted rape
<DeathStar> *according

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face tiredly
<Kit> <Chii> I-- ...I'll be back.
<Kit> 6Chii moves the sheet off of herself and moves to get off the bed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why? You leaving me already?
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl oddly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lowers her hands to peer at Chii
<Kit> <Chii> Come again?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You just woke up and you're going?
<Kit> <Chii> This... This bugs me! I don't like my face messed up!
<Kit> <Chii> And I need to trash Myria's lab.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, then snatches Chii and yanks her back onto the bed, putting a pillow over her face
<Kit> 6Chii blinks and erks, before flailing. 1"Reh! Nort furny!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Neither is trashing the lab.
<Kit> 6Chii lifts her chin and gasps upward. 1"The little freak walks by me and I get punched and freak out? Grr!"
* Chad-MissingDSAtWorkSad has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her dully. "You trash the lab, and I'll trash your face."
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-Why do you care!?
<Kit> <Chii> Y-You have a crush on the blue thing?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. But you piss off Paladin and he might just yank you off missions. .... .... Hm. 6* She seems to consider letting Chii do it now
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her now
<Kit> <Chii> Fine!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine?
<Kit> <Chii> I'll raze it to the ground! Then you'll be rid of me!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns and looks away
<Kit> 6Chii grinds her teeth.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps looking away, her aura wounded since Chii's line
<Kit> 6Chii softens slightly, merely twitching.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls onto her side, as if expecting Chii to march out and make good on her threat
<Kit> 6Chii lies back down, rubbing her face.
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aren't you going to go raze it to the ground? 6* She mumbles.
<Kit> <Chii> No.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why not?
<Kit> <Chii> 'Cause.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her over the shoulder. ".....Isn't your revenge more important to you?"
<Kit> <Chii> No. Not really.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .....
<Kit> <Chii> I just woke up, right? I'll stay a while. Hrmph.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, her wounded aura fading as she relaxes in the bed, though she acts totally non-chalant in her expression and attitude
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... you need anything?
<Kit> <Chii> Huh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You need anything. I did hit you. I should get you something if you want it
<Kit> <Chii> I'm fine. ...Thanks.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches under the bed for a bottle of booze
<DeathStar> 6* Waving her ass in Chii's face to accomplish this
<Kit> 6Chii gulps.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl comes back up with the booze, opening it. She's been up 10 mins, after all. Time for a drink
<Kit> <Chii> G-Gimme one.

<DeathStar> 6 After getting a face full of fine Cheryl ass, Cheryl comes back up and hand Chii her alcohol.
<Megumi> <Chii> Two, please." 6She says, cheeks slightly red.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. You better drink both. 6* She mutters, annoyed that Chii's drinking her alcohol in such volume, but she did offer and she did hit her, so she bends back over, repeating the process for a third time
<Megumi> <Chii> Ahh... s-sweet...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? The alcohol shouldn't be sweet. 6* She begins to pull herself up
<Megumi> 6Chii gulps and averts her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the fact the bottle isn't opened and narrows her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* She hands the second bottle to Chii. "What was sweet."
<Megumi> <Chii> Ah..." 6Gazes up, blushing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glares, then drinks her own bottle, trying to figure it out
<Megumi> 6Chii pops her's open and begins drinking-- quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back on the bed frame/wall, drinking her own, scowling.
<Megumi> 6Chii mumbles something under her breath.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What was that? 6* She demands to know
<Megumi> <Chii> I said the cherries were sweet.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What...cherries...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her like she's prey.
<Megumi> <Chii> Only one cherry I care about.
<Megumi> 6Chii guzzles the second.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth, and guzzles her own, tossing the bottle to the side
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure thing, Cheese.
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bends over to get another bottle. Ass to the face.
<Megumi> 6Chii swoons.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up with the bottle, opening it for herself, turning to eye Chii
<Megumi> 6Chii looks short on breath.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Are you dying?
<Megumi> <Chii> N-No.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then why do you look like you're dying.
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm not!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You look it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl monitors Chii suspiciously,
<Megumi> <Chii> Stop that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stop what?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks innocent.
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm not dying." 6Twitch.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. You're not dying. Then explain your breathing problem.
<Megumi> <Chii> You're hot.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then twitches. "Jesus."
<Megumi> 6Chii rolls her eyes, looking around for more alcohol.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. She bends over to snatch her precious alcohol first
<Megumi> 6Chii whistles.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly kicks out with her foot for Chii's own ass/thigh area
<Megumi> 6Chii rolls expertly and lunges for the alcohol.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grips it tightly as Chii lunges in, refusing to let go
<Megumi> <Chii> Don't be stingy...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "Stingy?!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you want this bottle, you'll have to pry it from my fingers.
* Kitsu has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you want this bottle, you'll have to pry it from my fingers.

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, slack-jawed. "I just..wanted my beer..."
<Kitsu> <Chii> You bit me on the freakin' ear!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So?! It got you to back off.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mumbles.

<Kitsu> 6Chii lets out a curdled yelping sound and pauses, blinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses as well, sort of frozen
<Kitsu> 6Chii stares, bewildered.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... .... um...sorry. 6* She mumbles.
<Kitsu> 6That seems to be the leeway. Chii reaches for the beer yet again
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bares her teeth.
<Kitsu> 6Chii grabs the beer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just bites her arm
<Kitsu> 6Chii snerks and tries to yank the beer over to drink.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. The beer lost.
<Kitsu> 6Chii fufufus and takes a big drink, then hands it back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it, eyes the remainer, and finishes it off.

<DeathStar> 6* After finishing dominating Chii for drinks, a drunk Cheryl eyes her outfits while standing in the corner
<Kit> 6Chii lazes on the bed, peering over at her. 1"The hell are you doing now?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Getting dressed. 6* She says with a hint of a slur. "Duh."
<Kit> <Chii> Why? You goin' somewhere?
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"Datin' the blue thing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "I'm not into women."
<Kit> <Chii> Well, she ain't 'women.'
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Chii. I'm gonna go date Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<Kit> <Chii> Really? Youkata. Cherrychan nan desuki ka..!

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "You dying?"
<Kit> <Chii> Think we've been over that. Ugh, my head hurts.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. "Why?"
<Kit> <Chii> Well, the gallons of alcohol in the last few days probably didn't help-- But I think it has more to do with tapping into that pinhead. He's a darker nature than me, even.
<Kit> 6Chii stretches with an annoyed expression.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get rid of him.
<Kit> <Chii> No.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... Do it.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Cheryl. 1"Why should I?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Because I'll kick your ass if you don't.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hides her worry, but she can't hide it from her aura.
<Kit> <Chii> Hrmph. I wouldn't have been able to move in the last mission if I didn't use something like him.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So what. There's others like me.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Other people can stand in situations like that. You don't need something like that thing
<Kit> <Chii> People like who?
* Chad`Winters has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Me. Dias. Marcus.
<Kit> <Chii> You're telling me I should rely on a pair of retards and someone who'd rather get themself killed than rely on myself when I have no intention of dying?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. I see. You'd rather rely on yourself than me. 6* She nods and steps out of the room
<Kit> 6Chii follows Cheryl. 1"Sometimes I think you find entertainment into twisting arguments to fit your needs."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, I think I heard you just fine.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, you're right. I'd rather rely on myself until I know you plan on coming back with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "Fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Her tone indicates she really doesn't care to talk anymore.
<Kit> <Chii> Whatever." 6Bitter.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's hides her wounded feelings, though it would show up to Chii probably. She steps into the messhall
<Kit> 6Chii moves past her for the back, going to make something else again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to make cereal.

<Kit> 6Chii shoves her fork up, ambush-feeding him a mouthful of cheddar, peppered egg, pork roast, bacon, beef and assorted onions.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeeees?
* Xanatos blinks and glances down, he chews silently, making a face at the onion.
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<Kit> <Chii> Need something, Marcus?" 6She continues to boredly observe Cheryl.
<Marcus`> A person has to need something to talk to you now, Chii?
<Kit> <Chii> They usually do.
<Marcus`> Then luckily i'm different. *he straitens up and draps his arm around her shoulder, he leans into her* So how's Cheryl?
<Kit> <Chii> She's Cheryl." 6Eyes Marcus' hand on her opposite shoulder.
<Marcus`> No progress, huh? *he frowns and shakes his head* That stinks.
