* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080612.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo Tower
<DeathStar> 6* Having sliced Cheryl nearly in two, the Ultimate Weapon, X, stands before them with glowing wings of holy energy, seemingly indestructable.
* Dias` steps forward, his breathing slowing back down.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes the fallen Cheryl, tensing her body as X faces Dias.
* Kit is now known as Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's body continues to fight with some unknown infection
<DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple and stabs into it, the blade appearin above Dias' head
* Sally`Wolf holds her gun out, list of options low. She guards the fallen.
* Dias` instintively roles forward, pressing his hands against the ground.
* Chii grinds her teeth, relying on integration of Asmodeous to remain moveable. 1"Why's it always holy?"
<DeathStar> 6* As Dias rolls forward, X kicks outward into a ripple, her foot appearing to hit Dias' head
* Dias` head snaps back and he hits the ground, pushing off it again.
<DeathStar> 6* X forms a holy bow and arrow, unleashing a holy arrow at Dias, and if he dodges, to fly at Chii
* Chii moves the fuck out of the way either way-- she does NOT mix with holy well.
<Dias`> 6Dias tenses as if to move then shifts his body, letting the arrow impact into his right shoulder, causing him to howl in pain
* Chii realizes something while she's moving and yanks out both pistols, unleashing gunfire on X around the side of Dias since she moved.
<DeathStar> 6* X is shot again and again, her body jerking.
<Ari[AWAY]> 6* Raquel leaps at X from behind as she arrives on scene, trying to slash her with the drakeblade
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* The blade slashes into X, causing a howl. She leaps up into a ripple, vanishing.
<Dias`> 6Dias pants again, his red/black blood dripping down his arm.
* Chii sheathes her guns after changing the clips. 1"Dias, you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* The scientist howls with manical evil scientist laughter. As they typically do.
<Chii> 6Dawn sighs-- still pinned.
<Dias`> 6SPoC responds by bopping him with the grip of her gun across the back of his skull
<Sally`Wolf> "Would someone pelase shut him up."
<DeathStar> 6* The scientist falls over.
<Chii> 6Dawn gives SPoC a thumbs up.
<Sally`Wolf> "Thanks SPoC."
<Dias`> I'm fine. Worry about Cheryl. 6He turns around, his eyes searching.
<DeathStar> 6* X appears on top of the ruined tower, her wounds healed again. Her purple hair flows as a breeze picks up.
<DeathStar> 6* She unleashes a sonic scream at all those gathered near Dias, which would be Chii and Raquel
<Chii> You're a weapon, and therefore probably key to beating her. Only reason I ask.
* Chii screams bloody murder, grabbing her fox ears and crumpling.
<Dias`> Kiss off on the weapon thing. 6He narrows his eyes and starts running forward to try and get ahead of it
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, that can't be done.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to cover her eyes... not sure if it'll help... or if the scream even affects her spirit form.
* Chii doesn't hear Dias at that point or she'd probably shoot him.
* Dias` grabs his head in pain as he tries to run through it now
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to work her way up the tower, since her and Sal are fine.
<DeathStar> 6* As Dias shuffles forward, vertigo begins to set in. Now, if Raquel covered her EARS, being in spirit form, she'd be fine.
* Sally`Wolf sighs and puts on her goggles, she aims the gun and tries to shoot X from her position.
* Dias` keeps pushing, stumbling now. He closes his eyes in response to vertigo
<DeathStar> 6* X is shot and the scream ends. She looks at wolf.
* Chii finishes hurling, since she's overaffected by that kind of thing and rubs her arm across her mouth, forcing to her feet
<DeathStar> 6* X unleashes a holy arrow at Sal and the unconscious Tsiv.
* Dias` opens his eyes, sweat beading off his face. He pants now.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Dias, <...if she's like her spirit form... she's getting stronger every hit. But... she's not invincible. She still needs to heal herself... >
<Dias`> 6Dias just waves his hand. 1"Get me up there.'
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slashes at X's back, who turns and grabs Katrina's arm, jerking her over the edge of the tower, dangling her
<Chii> Katrina..." 6She hisses.
* Sally`Wolf grabs Xril and dives out of the way of the arrow.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina swings and kicks X in the stomach, causing the girl to drop her. She flips, grabs the edge of the tower, and swings along it to flip onto another part.
* Dias` shakes his head as he tries to regain his senses.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias senses begin to even out when he puts effort into regaining them.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel closes her eyes and concentrates. She might not have the belt in her spirit form, but the source of the power was still somewheres inside her. She puts all her focus into attempting to create a ripple to lead from the party, to where X is on the tower.
* Dias` frowns slightly. 1"No helping it than." 6He stands up.
* Chii integrates Asmodeus fully, donning the black aura and forms seals. 1"Heads up, Dias. Zettai futon." 6She raises the hand, palm up, then slams it downward, channeling a stream of wind from above directly down and toward the back of X, aiming to knock her off the tower with force toward the ripple.
<DeathStar> 6* A small portal opens.
<DeathStar> 6* X is knocked back, into the portal, and comes flying out toward Raquel
<Dias`> 6Dias jerks and kicks off, dashing in at X now.
* Sally`Wolf moves Xril to a safer location and waits for another clear shot.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel is startled by this, and simply holds out the sword in front of her.
<DeathStar> 6* X's wings flap and she stops inches from the sword.
<Kulix> *Xril is unconsciously dragged, dripping Tsiv blood onto the floor below
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leaps into the portal before RAquel closes.
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She shoots upward into the air.
* Dias` goes to shoulder tackle her as she shoots upwards.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel closes the portal so not to split her focus, and swings at the retreating X
<DeathStar> 6* Dias tackles into X, and she twists Dias into the swing.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel quickly turns the blade so to only hit Dias with the broad side, and hopefuly give him a nudge back towards X
<DeathStar> 6* X blinks as Dias comes back toward her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina surveys her new area, watching the three fight.
* Dias` grunts as he's hit and he pulls his fist back, throwing a punch for her face, putting everything behind it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl groans meanwhile, trying to stay conscious
<DeathStar> 6* X is punched again, her head snapping and purple hair flying wildly with her. She flies into a ripple, vanishing into it
* Chii narrows her eyes, playing with her wirelet, only seeming to draw out her two swords.
* Dias` lands in a crouch, his eyes wildly darting around. 1"Where is she...."
* Sally`Wolf moves over to Cheryl and looks her over, "Damn, you got fucked up..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains, then begins to use corruption to heal herself.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stops, trying to catch her breath (figuratiely speaking, before X reappears.
* Sally`Wolf pulls her goggles up, watching wide eyed. "Now what's that..."
<DeathStar> 6* Black like tendrils begin to mend the skin back together
<Dias`> COME OUT HERE! 6He snaps out as he spins around.
<DeathStar> 6* 12 ripples appear around Dias and Raquel.
* Chii searches for the killing intent when the ripples appear
<DeathStar> 6* Holy arrows begin to fly out of the ripples. PREPARE YOURSELVES.
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down
<DeathStar> 5
<Dias`> rlldurldurlu
<DeathStar> 4
<Ariel> rlldurldurlu
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 6* The two dodge all the arrows.
* Dias` slides to a stop. 1"THAT'S ALL YOU GOT?!"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ducks under one of the arrows and attempts to leap through the ripple to grab X whlie she's still trying to shoot them up.
<DeathStar> 6* In response, X unleashes a sonic scream through the 12 ripples, letting them amplify themselves as they move through each other. Well, not RAquel. Just Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel leaps through a ripple and appears near X, on a rooftop.
<Dias`> 6Dias eyes go wide as he grabs his ears, blood dripping out from under them.
* Chii looks for Raquel, not amused by her being on a rooftop again.
<DeathStar> 6* X stops her scream as Raquel appears.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel rolls as she lands, attempting to holy blast X through her own ripple.
<DeathStar> 6* X is knocked back into a ripple, appearing in Ripple #10, right to the left of Dias.
* Chii dashes in for X as she appears closer, readying her two blades.
* Dias` pants, and twists, throwing his right leg in to hit and knock her through another portal
<DeathStar> 6* X bounces back through the ripple #7, appearing on the rooftop to the right of Raquel
* Dias` grimaces as he tries force himself to regain his senses
<Ariel> 6* Raquel turns around to slash with the drakeblade, trying to knock her back
* Chii pauses and seems to clench her weapons angrily, looking to Dias like she might stab him for that.
<DeathStar> 6* X is slashed, crying out painfully, blood dripping as she's knocked back through
<DeathStar> 6* Low, dark voices seem to hum to Chii, over the bond she shares with Cheryl.
* Dias` spins around, crouching. He kicks off, uppercutting for her, aiming to hit her in another portal
<DeathStar> 6* The ripples vanish
* Chii fails to notice at first, having her own 'voice' to deal with, but then jerks her head slightly, as if looking for a source erratically.
<DeathStar> 6* As X is knocked up, she flaps her wings, steadying herself in the sky. Her slash heals.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be coming from Cheryl, oddly enough, who is laying there, mending herself.
* Dias` lands and looks up at her, he waves her down. 1"GET DOWN HERE"
<Sally`Wolf> "That's some of the freakist shit I've ever seen Cheryl..."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel searches for X, now that the ripples are gone.
<DeathStar> 6* X holds up her hands, and unleashes a gravity well down around Chii and Dias, aiming to crush them.
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel seems to be about half a mile away from them. Judging by the huge gravity well forming
* Dias` responds like he normally does when he's hit with a gravity well, he instantly drops to his hands and knees, every muscle on him instantly straining.
* Chii winces slightly, then jerks her head to Dias since he shouted. She strains as the well is created, then tries something new. As she falls back, she whips out a kunai and a gun, tossing the kunai as hard as she can to get it to rise a bit, then shoots it to give it enough momentum to pass through the gravity toward X.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel concentrates on forming a small ripple to get her back near the group, throwing herself through before it snaps shut just behind her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* X is cut along the side by the kunai, but the well doesn't stop.
* Dias` bears his teeth as he continues to fight the gravity well.
* Chii counted on that, waiting for gravity to yank the kunai down the other side-- and having strung it across her wire, pulses plasma through it when it's taut.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' body seems to suddenly lift itself up, as if there was no gravity well.
<DeathStar> 6* X jerks a moment, then cuts the wire with her sword. The gravity well stops.
* Dias` jerks up suprisingly, shock on his face. He looks over at Chii then up at X.
* Chii jerks her other hand up with her second gun, firing at the kunai as it begins to fall, just to knock it back up into X-- mostly an annoyance as she cackles.
<DeathStar> 6* As the kunai hits her again, it doesn't even break the skin now
<Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a small ripple... just big enough to reach through and try to drain X's energy.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares upward, having moved to check on Cheryl. "She's getting stronger."
* Chii growls throatily, then jerks-- her aura fading away completely. She hacks and coughs, covering her mouth and struggling to get up.
* Dias` clenches his gloves, eyeing the annoying altitude difference.
<DeathStar> 6* X jerks as she's grabbed by the spirit. As her energy is drained, she turns, firing a holy arrow into the ripple - it doesn't matter if it all goes through, just enough that enough energy moves through to knock Raquel back.
* Dias` snaps his left hand up, firing a dark beam at X as she turns, aiming for her right shoulder. 1%
<Sally`Wolf> "Stronger... yeah... is that Dark One energy?"
* Chii limps toward Sally and Katrina. 1"...Yeah. Shit."
* Sally`Wolf points at the mending going on and looks at Kat. "How'd that happen?"
<DeathStar> 6* X is hit and she falls back, landing on her back.
<DeathStar> 6* She flips to her feet. Apparantly Dias' dark energy got her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Cheryl. "Long story."
<Chii> Short story if she keeps that up..
<Dias`> 6Dias kicks off, running in at her as she flips to her feet. He kicks off, spin kicking at the side of her head
<Ariel> 6* Raquel curses under her breath. Wasn't expecting that.
* Chii leans down and grabs part of Cheryl's suit. 1"Cheryl!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears out of it
<Sally`Wolf> "Eh, tell me some other time then."
<Chii> Cheryl!
<DeathStar> 6* X is kicked in the head, and she stumbles once. Raquel took away her near godhood state.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes slowly. Her wound is 70% healed, and her innards no longer seem to be in danger of falling out
* Dias` lands and moves in, throwing a quick jab for her gut
<DeathStar> 6* X is hit again in the gut, hunching over.
* Dias` swings his other hand in, hitting upwards into her chest to try and lift her off the ground
* Chii makes a quick sigh, inspecting Cheryl. She reaches back into one of her waist satchels and pulls out gauze and vials of liquids.
* Sally`Wolf looks at Cheryl. "You okay?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ungh... 6* The voices calm down through the bond.
<DeathStar> 6* X is lifted off the ground slightly, but it seems Dias' attacks are becoming inefficent.
<Sally`Wolf> "I'll take that as a "yes with need of a good drink.""
* Chii opens one vial with her teeth and sprinkles a clear liquid across her major wound, sizzling. She quickly winds gauze around the wound, pressing her hand against it calmly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That..tickles...stop that...Chii.
<Dias`> 6Dias growls and pulls his fist back as she starts to fall back down. He steps forward and swings in with all his normal strength for her jaw.
<DeathStar> 6* X's head barely moves now. She looks at him, and gives him a smile that makes her look even more like Caesura. "My turn."
<DeathStar> 6* X punches Dias in the stomach with enough force of a truck.
* Chii yanks the other vial open with her teeth, spitting both corks out and drenching the gauze in a iodine-coloured fluid. 1"Sorry, Cheryl. I should have come quicker."
<Dias`> 6Dias's body reacts like it's been hit by a truck, by keeling over her fist, the sound of bone snapping, his eyes going glazed and spit flying out of his mouth. He then goe sflying back
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches the fight, wondering if she should try to help
<DeathStar> 6* X grabs Dias's clothes, lifting him toward her. "You aren't as great as they claimed."
* Dias` jerks as it's grabbed, his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he hangs there
<Ariel> 6* Raquel waits for X to get in arm's reach of Dias, and then attempts to grab her again, and weaken her.
<DeathStar> 6* X jerks as she's grabbed, her energy being syphoned into Raquel.
<Ariel> Raquel> <Dias! Now!>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mumbles, licking blood from her own lips. "I had it..covered..."
* Dias` eyes snap forward and he throws a punch for X's face.
<DeathStar> 6* X's face is hit hard, blood spitting out from her jaw.
* Dias` lands, panting. 1"My turn." He steps in throwing three jabs for her face.
<DeathStar> 6* X is hit again and again, wincing. She unleashes a holy wave from her own body, into Dias and Raquel.
* Dias` jerks his elbows infront of him defensively
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' is knocked back a few feet, but his elbows save him from more damage.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looses her grip, knocked back. She really needs to learn some of these tricks...
<DeathStar> 6* X pants, stepping back into a ripple.
* Dias` drops his elbows, smoke rising from them. He hops forward to kick at her then stops as she steps back.
<DeathStar> 6* Appearing in the sky above Raquel and Drake's bodies, she unleashes a barrage of holy energy down at them, aiming to impale one at least
<Chii> 6Lilith forms a reverse well of gravity between the two, knocking both sideways simultaneously
<DeathStar> 6* X narrows her eyes, and fires a holy arrow at Lilith while she does this.
<Chii> 6Lilith recoils and staggers backwards, narrowing her own eyes back.
<Dias`> Raquel, can you get me above her?
<Chii> 6Lilith sticks the nodachi into the ground, calling out her railblade and aims it for X, sending magnetically-accelerated shots at her from the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* X is hit again and again, smiling creepily as the shots tear into her body. As the wounds heals, she seems to grow even more powerful
<Ariel> 6* Raquel plants the sword in the ground, concentrating on opening a small ripple above X. Knowing she can't do anything else while it's open.
<Dias`> 6Dias leaps through the portal as soon as it's formed
<Chii> 6Lilith continues firing on her until she pauses, perhaps out of ball bearings.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias appears above X, who hasn't noticed yet
<Chii> 6Chii stares at the fight, then starts laughing beside Cheryl.
<Dias`> WARPING METEOR PILE DRIVER! 6He tries to grab onto X as he get's close.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wha..?
<Chii> I see what the mutt's doing.
<DeathStar> 6* X is grabbed. She turns her head toward Dias.
<Dias`> Huh...I so through we'd start falling...6He eyes her.
<DeathStar> 6* X narrows her violet eyes.
<Chii> Heheh.
<Dias`> My bad. 6He snaps his head forward to head butt her.
<Chii> 6Lilith holds up her hand, peering at the two emotionlessly as she draws her hand down-- acting on the bearings she's been shooting X with.
<DeathStar> 6* Her head snaps back.
<DeathStar> 6* X begins to fall.
* Dias` begins falling also. He snatches out to grab her shirt.
<DeathStar> 6* X's eyes widen and she slaps Dioas
<DeathStar> *Dias
* Dias` jaw drops. 1"H-Hey!"
<DeathStar> 6*X glares.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She begins to sit up.
* Dias` keeps free falling, a dumbfounded look on his face.
<Chii> 6Lilith continues driving them both toward the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* X smashes into the ground finally
<Dias`> 6Dias smashes into the ground now.
<Chii> 6Lilith walks toward the impact zone.
<DeathStar> 6* X groggily stands up again, not looking that hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes Lilith, then closes her eyes. Suddenly, tiny ripples appear, and the bearings fall out of them. It seems she opened ripples in her own body
<Chii> 6Lilith pauses, narrowing her eyes. She never got to enact her actual attack since Dias was too close.
<DeathStar> 6* X fires a holy arrow at Lilith
<Dias`> 6Dias doesn't rise.
<Chii> 6Lilith juts to the side and spins, thrusting the nodachi for her from spear-distance.
<DeathStar> 6* AS the arrow passes, it seems to fly straight at Drake
<DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple, letting the spear enter, and appear behind Lilith to stab herself, if possible
* Sally`Wolf reaches out a hand to help Cheryl to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods to Wolf, standing weakly.
<Chii> 6Lilith is just using a really long sword, but stabbing herself is all possible.
<Dias`> 6SPoC raises her gun and fires several shots to try and knock the holy arrow off course
<DeathStar> 6* Then Lilith impales herself. What a warrior!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel lets out a holy blast at the arrow to attempt to negate it. She's not close enough for anything else at the moment.
<DeathStar> 6* The arrow is destroyed.
<Chii> 6Lilith sighs, thrusting a palm to the ground. The ball bearings begin swirling around X.
<DeathStar> 6* X stands there calmly.
<Chii> 6Lilith strangely doesn't seem hurt at all being stabbed by her own sword.
* Dias` hand moves and his body starts to push itself up.
* Sally`Wolf grumbles, watching the scene.
<Chii> 6Lilith brings her hand up, stopping all the bearings arranged around X in a circle of rings.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip, and begins to move in, lumbering.
<DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple and leaps through it
* Dias` finishes standing, his hand going to face.
<Chii> 6Chii finishes forming seals and holds a hand up. 1"Raiton!" 6Bringing it down more quickly thanks to the coil. She curses with no target.
<DeathStar> 6* X appears beside Raquel's body, lifting it up with one hand
<Chii> That fucking ripple shit is getting annoying.
<Chii> 6Lilith whirls around, pulling her sword all the way through her body and back to a poise, bristling.
* Dias` takes several breathes as he lowers his hand. He looks around and locks onto X.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rises, despite being dead, and grabs onto X, tightening a grip around her throat. Raquel's spirit form can feel energy being drained from her, as if Drake is using it
<Chii> 6Lilith charges the gripped X
<DeathStar> <Drake> Stab her, Lilith! STAB HER ALL THE WAY THROUGH
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shivers... but as it's Drake, she can accept that. She considers rippling herself over, but the drain is enough of a distraction she can't form one
<Chii> 6Lilith complies, but aiming at the head-- the curve of the blade would carry it over Drake's head harmlessly even if it pierces through, in a rather precise aim.
* Dias` shifts his shoulder, popping them back in place, his face wincing each time. He begins moving towards X now
<DeathStar> 6* The sword enters X's head, and her body jerks, dropping Raquel. Her body goes limp.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake lets go, falling back - dead again.
* Dias` stops, his eyes going wide.
<Chii> 6Lilith waits for the other two the be out of the way, then grips her sword with both hands and manipulates its weight with gravity along the blade, yanking down harshly to... well. Halve.
<DeathStar> 6* X's hand rises before she can, stopping the blade from going down.
<DeathStar> 6* X rips the blade out of her own head, the head healing itself.
<Chii> 6Lilith's teeth grind, keeping her pressure on it imminently.
<DeathStar>
<DeathStar> 6* X keeps her hand on it, effortlessly.
* Dias` tenses up and pushes his body again, dashing in as fast as he can
* Sally`Wolf stares.
<Chii> <Lilith> You are inhuman amongst the non-human.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh My God.
<DeathStar> 6* She then turns, gripping the sword, and swinging Lilith, if she holds on, around and around
<Sally`Wolf> "I'm sorry, that's just fucked up."
<Chii> 6Lilith does, but grabs the railblade while she's first swung and reaches over to slash with it before she's being swung too quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* The railblade impacts on X, but does no damage. She lets go of the sword.
<Chii> 6The railblade disappears as Lilith goes flying with her soul weapon.
* Dias` kicks off, grabbing both his hands together. He swings them down to axehandle the top of her head
<DeathStar> 6* X turns to face Dias.
<Chii> <Chii> ...I...
<DeathStar> 6* The hands impact, and feel as if they just hit steel. It seems her head being cleaved in two pushed her over the edge.
<Chii> 6Chii pauses beside Cheryl. 1"...Okay, that's another example of something I can't recover from."
* Dias` grimaces and swings his knee up instantly, aiming to crack her jaw
<DeathStar> 6* Again, steel. X smiles darkly.
* Dias` swings his leg in and kicks off.
<DeathStar> 6* X dashes in at Dias, throwing a punch for his head.
<Chii> 6Chii twitches and puts her hands to the ground, sneakily forming the runic lines in a curve around the field to behind X... waiting for an opportunity best.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes in now, despite the pain it causes her.
* Dias` swings his forearms up to try and intercept
<DeathStar> 6* The bones shift, threatening to break from the hit.
<Dias`> 6Dias shifts his right forearm to block it completely and then moves his left hand in to brace it
<DeathStar> 6* X pulls back to hit again, when a whip wraps around her arm.
<DeathStar> 6* X turns to face Cheryl.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ripples in now, attempting to stab X through the heart now that Dias isn't too close.
<DeathStar> 6* X jerks as she's stabbed.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel drives the sword in so it's nice and secure, before she tries to drain energy.
* Dias` drops his right elbow and grabs for X's head, twisting to drag her further onto the blade.
<DeathStar> 6* X howls in agony as he does this.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds her arm in place with her whip.
* Chii draws her lines in, forming a circle while X is immobile, and then struggles to complete the markings and add to the life drain effects.
<DeathStar> 6* X jerks more as another target is added in. Her wings vanish
<Dias`> I'll make this simple. Quit the fight. 6He strains as he holds onto her.
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes him with her violet eyes, then holds up her hand, forming a ripple under Cheryl, Raquel, and Dias, plus herself. They all drop through and vanish
<DeathStar> <Katrina> NO!
* Chii keeps the hold on X, and since the others disappear, has no qualms in increasing its effect since she won't drain others accidentally.
<Dias`> 6SPoC taps her ear, relaying what just happened to Paladin
<DeathStar> 6* Chii drains nothing. Uh, ripple and all
<Chii> ...She's gone... again!?
* Chii stands, throwing her hands up.
<Chii> FUCK RIPPLES AND EVERYONE WHO USES THEM!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares in disbelief.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel really doesn't want Chii fucking her. That'd be scary. And illegal.
<Xan|Gone> * Marcus comes running up, heaving over, out of breath. "N..No! Fuck, i'm late."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* They all appear in a dark realm, the sword no longer in X.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks around. "The hell?!"
<Ariel> Raquel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* X stumbles away, bleeding
<Dias`> I doubt it. 6He spins around.
<DeathStar> 6* She falls to her knees, just kneeling there.
* Dias` walks towards her, his breathing heavy
<DeathStar> 6* The dark realm seems to be shrinking slowly.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...where... are we?>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck if I know.
<Dias`> Where'd you bring us?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl punches the edge, being repelled.
<DeathStar> <X> To a pocket dimension of my making. We'll all die here.
* Dias` glances at Cheryl and Raquel than at X. 1"WHAT?! WHY?"
<DeathStar> 6* X holds her bleeding chest. "Because I failed to kill you. So I'll die with you instead."
<Ariel> Raquel> <...you'd kill yourself... because of him?>
* Dias` grabs her by the collar, lifting her up.
<DeathStar> 6* X winces as she's lifted up.
<Dias`> SEND THEM BACK.
<DeathStar> <X> ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias! I'm not going to fucking leave you here.
<Dias`> And I won't let either of you die here because of me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck that!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just beat her up and focus on escaping.
* Dias` turns to look at X again. 1"Why? Why do you have to kill me?"
<DeathStar> <X> I need to kill you and take your power. So I can be complete.
<Dias`> And than what?
<DeathStar> <X> Then I would be complete.
<Dias`> And after taht?
<DeathStar> <X> ... ... 6* She looks at him, confused.
<Dias`> You heard me. You kill me, take whatever powers I have. Than what? You stand around?
<DeathStar> <X> I.... don't know. I can only live if I take all the Weapons powers.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...that's not true.>
<Dias`> I won't die here. Not for something so selfish.
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6*She eyes him darkly. "Selfish? You're the selfish one!"
<Dias`> And how is that?
<DeathStar> <X> You don't even remember anyone from your past. You don't care about any of the Weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl presses against the repelling wall as it shrinks.
<Dias`> I can't care about somethig I know nothing about.
<DeathStar> <X> You don't remember because you don't want to.
<Dias`> Maybe I don't remember because it won't change anything.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...can you two please not argue us all to death?>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm with the ghost.
<DeathStar> 6* X leans forward. "Ripple. Virulent. Caesura. All of them are dead. And you've had a hand in them all."
<Ariel> Raquel> <...that man you fight for... he killed Virulent...>
* Dias` steps back, his face mixed with emotions. 1"Ripple would've killed me first. Virulent...I would've saved her if given the chance. Caesura....He glances down. 1"I-I tried to save her.
<DeathStar> 6* X holds her chest as it bleeds. "You can't save anyone. Not her. Not yourself. Not them."
<Dias`> And I never killed Ripple. Somebody else did and took his soul.
* Dias` stares at X now, his eyes narrowing
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs, <...you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved...> 6She looks at X, <...are you going to do something about that wound or not?>
* Dias` clenches his left fist and begins gathering dark energy into it.
<DeathStar> <X> No. I'm not. 6* She gets the same expression Caesura had when she waited for death.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...so... you're going to let yourself die, and then blaim someone else?>
<Dias`> I'll punch my fucking way through this place.
<DeathStar> <X> I'm dying because I have no more power left.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's the spirit!
* Dias` 's entire left arm begins to glow with dark energy as it begins to creep along the markings and into his fist
<Ariel> 6* Raquel frowns. She moves over to X and tries her best to push a bit of energy back into the other weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* Strangely, it seems X's body is no longer capable of accepting energy.
<Dias`> I'd step back. 6He eyes Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps aside.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...why are you doing this?>
<DeathStar> <X> It's only fitting that us weapons wait for death together, is it not?
<Dias`> DIMENSION SHATTERING PUNCH! 6He leaps forward to the edge of the wall and swings his left hand forward, dark energy trailing behind it. 15%*
<Ariel> Raquel> <...she's not a weapon... she shouldn't be dragged into this.>
<DeathStar> 6* As his fist hits, the corruption fails to transfer. The markings vanish from his body, one line at a time.
* Xanatos has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias...you're...going back to normal.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...and then... we've lost too many of our numbers already. We should be together... not fighting each other.>
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
* Dias` steps back, utter confusion on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* X looks at Raquel. "There's no escape from this place. It's a one way trip."
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias' eyes, which are all color blind again
* Dias` quickly jerks around. 1"What the hell..."
<Ariel> Raquel> <...I refuse to believe that...> *pauses, looking at Dias, then back to X* <...a weapon shouldn't give up so easily.>
<DeathStar> <X> ...
<Dias`> W-What happened? 6He looks at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think you're cured.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs her hand over Dias' face, checking for the scars, but they're gone.
<Dias`> I don't care about that. IT didn't work.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *she eyes X* What happened?
<DeathStar> <X> *coughs up fluids. The space now is the size of a small room of a house* Dias' body protected him from performing something useless. It's his ability. To make his body do whatever he wants.
<DeathStar> <X> They based him off Wind, who could change reality at whim. You didn't know?
* Dias` jerks to look at X. 1"To do whatever I want?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias, then checks his vains for hyperspace.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...we always thought he was just too stupid to back down.>
* Dias` eyes Cheryl. 1"Yeah well I want it to break us out of this damn place."
<DeathStar> <X> *coughs hoarsely* Not even your power to trendscend can get out of here.
<Dias`> Well than I guess I'll die trying, ni? 6He tenses up again, eyeing the shrinking wall.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...Dias. I hear doubting. Are you going to put up with that?>
<DeathStar> 6* X leans her head back. "Your own sins tie you here, Dias. Just as you left the Weapons behind, forgot them all, you, too, will be forgotten.
* Dias` steps forward again, punching the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall does nothing.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...and you. Save your strength... a weapon doesn't deserve to die as stupidly as this...>
* Dias` backs up as far as he can and rips off the shreds of his shirt.
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias, focusing on him. "Do you know why Caesura chose to die? Because you can't be counted on. You can change the world around you, yet you never have and never will."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel starts to wonder if Dias can change X so she's not a pesimist.
<Dias`> Your wrong. I'm always the one that's there to save my friends. I'm the one that risks his own life to get the others back safe.
<DeathStar> <X> Yet you never save those closest to you.
<Dias`> I FAILED ONCE. Not again. 6He snaps back.
<Dias`> Never again.
<DeathStar> <X> John. Caesura. And Cheryl soon.
* Dias` growls and eyes his left fist. 1"Than I change that. I'll change anything in my way with my fist."
<DeathStar> <X> Always with your fist. *leans back* You're like the scientist who made you. Forcing the world to change through brute strength. That's why I can hold you here so easily.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel focuses enough of her spirit into a point in order to slap X.
<DeathStar> 6* X is slapped once, blinking
* Dias` let's out a breathe of air. Then starts running across towards the other side.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...you're busy talking down at him... trying to throw everyone's lives away. You say he's useless... what good are YOU contributing?>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* X glares at Raquel.
<Ariel> Raquel> <If you were in his position... you'd give up without even trying. Like you have right now.>
<DeathStar> <X> I've already won. I've proven he can't change anything. Not even with his powers.
<Ariel> Raquel> <...you've proven you're a coward.>
<DeathStar> <X> ...
* Dias` swings his fist back as he crouches and kicks off. 1"REALITY CHANGING PUNCH!" He swings his fist forward and into the wall
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl facepalms.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall holds, as if even reality itself resists him.
<Ariel> Raquel> <No one takes him seriously when he goes on about how awesome he is... I'm sure even he knows that. But... he TRIES. He always gives it his all. So what if he fails? It happens. Everyone fails. He does some real dumbass shit you know... he's not the brightest. But... unlike you, he actually makes an effort.>
<DeathStar> 6* The wall cracks suddenly where Dias hit it.
<DeathStar> <X> Yeah? And what has he ever done for you?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at the wall through her hand
* Dias` bounces off and eyes the crack. 1"And time for the follow up." He pulls his fist back. 1"SPIRALLING DRILL PUNCH!" He swings his fist in again, aiming right for the crack
<Ariel> Raquel> <...he... saved me from myself.>
<DeathStar> <X> Look at him! He's an idiot!
<DeathStar> 6* X stares at Raquel, floored. The wall shatters again.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be holding by a single thread.
<Dias`> Cheryl. Give me a boost. 6He starts backing up at towards her, his hand held out.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. Just hit it, you dork.
<Dias`> But I was gonna name it a really cool team attack.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's why I'm not doing it.
<DeathStar> <X> How? How could he possiblely save you from yourself?
<Ariel> Raquel> <...yeah. He's an idiot. But... if he wasn't, then he wouldn't be him. We're weapons... not puppets. Just because we're made for war doesn't mean there's nothing else...>
<Dias`> That hurts Cheryl. 6He smirks at her and he eyes the cracked wall. 1"One more for the win." 6He starts sprinting at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "Little ghost girl is right. Dias can do anything he wants. You don't know him like we do."
<Dias`> FINAL!6He pulls his fist back. 1"CRUSHING! 6He slams his fist forward into the wall. 1"EXPLOSION!"
<DeathStar> 6* The wall breaks and everything goes bright white
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo Tower
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Raquel fall out of a ripple onto the ground
<Chii> 6Chii hugs Cheryl. 1"You're back!"
<Chii> 6Lilith hugs Raquel. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face. "H-Hey!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over. "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Xril the Tsiv has been patched up in the meantime.
<DeathStar> 6* By Caduceus.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel returns the hug, but her eyes are drawn to the ripple, looking for signs of Dias and X
<DeathStar> 6* The ripple begins to turn black, and unstable.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Hm. This isn't good.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake picks up his sword, sheathing it. "I can sense death in there."
<Chii> Really?
<Chii> 6Lilith eyes Drake, then yanks him into the hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake makes a face. "H-Hey! I'm trying to be serious here."
<Chii> <Lilith> I care not.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Drake oddly, then makes a note not to sound like a dork again.
* Sally`Wolf scratches her head.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hugs Drake too... he's honorary family. The younger girl is very serious... just seriously worried.
* Xanatos steps up to Cheryl and the others, peering at the ripple. "What happened?"
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<Kulix> *An echoing Tsivrixsh roar is heard as Xril sits up. " WHERE IS SHE!? "
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the ripple, looking worried.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> *sigh* The patient is awake.
<Chii> So give him a tranquilize.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> If you wish to find her, leap into the portal leading to the realm of death
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus motions at the giant ripple
<DeathStar> <Drake> Uh. That would kill him.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Oh, I know.
<Chii> Would it kill someone who's soul-less anyway?
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Oh, do find out!
* Marcus` crosses his arms. "I think we're supposed to let Dias do his thing."
* Kulix has left #taw
* Kulix has joined #taw
<Kulix> *Xril glances at the portal as if considering it, then growls, looking away " How long was I out? "
<Sally`Wolf> "A while."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "Dias will win. We just have to wait on him."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pulls out Dawn, asi f suddenly reminded of him
<Kulix> <Xril> Dias? *He asks, interested* Dias is inside the portal with that wench?
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Yes. Go save him! Right away.
<Sally`Wolf> "Just let Dias do his thing."
<Kulix> *Xril eyes caduceus " I'm no stranger to sarcasm.. "
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sighs.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> You're no stranger to many things, I imagine.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans a bit into Chii, looking worn out.
<Chii> 6Dawn peers at Katrina tiredly, then bows his head.
* Chii wraps her arms around Chii, eyeing the ripple angrily.
<Kulix> <Xril> Still.. that woman is... incredible.. if Dias is in there with her- then his skills must be more advanced than I imagined.. *he says, holding his gaze on the portal as he says this
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Sally`Wolf> "Or he's just such a blockhead he can win out of pure tenacity."
<DeathStar> Location: Realm of Death?
<DeathStar> 6* Dias would find himself in a realm of darkness again
* Dias` jerks around, eyeing this same old place. 1"And here I was thinking, I'm really fond of this place."
<DeathStar> 6* X stands behind Dias, looking healed again
<DeathStar> <X> I won't let you go. Not you. Never you.
* Dias` turns to look at X. 1"What the hell did I ever do to you?"
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes him. "Betrayal."
<DeathStar> 6* X forms a holy arrow, firing at him.
<Dias`> 6Dias leaps to the side, sliding. 1"Betrayal? Look. It's not my fault I can't remember anything. Blame the prick that put me in the test tube."
<DeathStar> 6* X dashes in at Dias, leaping through a portal. She appearings behind Dias, slashing at his back with a sword.
<DeathStar> <X> You promised never to forget. And you did.
* Dias` spins around as she leaps through the portal, his hand grabbing onto the blade, even if it cuts deep.
<DeathStar> 6* X narrows her eyes.
<Dias`> I never squelch on a promise.
<DeathStar> <X> LIAR!
<DeathStar> 6* X shoves forward with the blade.
<Dias`> 6Dias steps backwards as he's shoved, his bloodied hand holding on tightly. 1"If I could remember. I WOULD>
<DeathStar> <X> With your abilities, you could remember! 6* She lets go of the sword, leaping back. She appears to be barely holding on.
* Dias` tosses the blade to the side. 1"Than fine." 6He narrows his eyes as he tries to make himself remember
<DeathStar> 6* X stares, dumbfounded
<DeathStar> 6* John leans on Dias' shoulder. "You can't even remember where you left your underwear from the previous night."
<Dias`> That's because their underwear. 6He tries to focus more.
<DeathStar> <X> W-What does underwear have to do with anything?
<Dias`> Nothing. I'm talking with John.
<DeathStar> <X> Who...?
<DeathStar> 6* John slides around, leaning around Dias' other side. "Now she thinks you're crazy."
<Dias`> My best buddy who helps me when I'm in a pinch. 6He looks to his other side. 1"Well, she wouldn't be half-wrong."
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She looks around
<DeathStar> 6* John shoves his hands into his pockets. "You know what I think? I think it's not so important that you remember, as much as she remembers what she shouldn't."
* Dias` get's blank face. 1"English John. English."
<DeathStar> <John> Right. 6* He slides over, groping X, who seems not to notice. "How many models look like a purple haired crazy chick?"
<Dias`> Oh shit...6He stares at X. 1"Why do you look like Caesura?"
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She eyes him now, looking pissed
* Kulix has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> <John> Oh hell. Never ask a woman why she looks like another woman!
* Dias` panics. 1"I mean...You two are both beautiful woman."
<DeathStar> 6* John nods a few times. "Right. Now she'll take that as 'you're beautiful 'cause she was beautiful'.
<DeathStar> 6* X steps forward toward Dias.
<DeathStar> <John> Hm. Oh, look at the time. Gotta go. Angela is drowning herself in the shower again. 6* He walks off, whistling.
* Dias` takes a step back, gulping. He panics and quickly drops to the ground, slamming his head into the ground
<DeathStar> 6* X stares, stopping again.
<Dias`> 6Dias shakes his head, blinking several times.
<DeathStar> <X> ... ...
<Dias`> Quick, help me jog my memory.
<DeathStar> <X> ............ How?
<Dias`> Tell me what promise I made.
<DeathStar> <X> That you would always protect me. That we'd be friends forever. You made yourself out to be a self-proclaimed HERO
<Dias`> I made that promise to Caesura. That much I remember.
<DeathStar> 6* X jerks, as if slapped.
<DeathStar> <X> N-No you didn't.
* Kulix has joined #taw
<Dias`> That's what I remember...Because she couldn't talk so I stood up for her.
<DeathStar> 6* X covers her ears. "You're a liar! A filthy liar!"
<Dias`> No, I'm not lieing. A Hero never lies.
<DeathStar> 6* X stares at him, as if slapped.
* Dias` stares back, his face is pained. 1"I'm sorry."
<DeathStar>
<DeathStar> 6* X lets out a high pitch scream.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo Tower ARea
<DeathStar> 6* Dias is thrown out of the ripple, with a purple haired woman falling next.
<DeathStar> 6* The ripple seals itself.
<DeathStar> 6* The scientist stares over at the two, his face bloodied.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs over, checking on Dias. "Dias?"
* Marcus` eyes the two and starts to approach.
<Dias`> 6Dias twies to swing himself to grab onto her and position her ontop of him
<DeathStar> 6* X lands on top of Dias. It looks rather kinky.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel squirms out of the hold, to attempt to check on the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops, eyeing Dias covered in purple hair as the girl lays on him.
* Dias` let's out a muffled pain as he lies there now.
<Chii> 6Lilith lets go of Raquel, looking to Drake and sighing.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head, glancing at Lilith
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, I don't sense RAquel is going to die anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers down at the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels there. "You okay, Dias?"
<Kulix> *Xril stares at the two of them as they fall. he clenches a fist as he eyes the woman coldly
* Dias` slowly raises his hand and gives her a thumbs up
<DeathStar> <Scientist> He won? HIM? 6* He stares in disbelief.
<Marcus`> He's got a girl on top of him. What do you expect?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl facepalms.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...are you two okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* X doesn't respond. She appears to be almost asleep on top of Dias
* Dias` taps her comm again. 1"It would appear Dias has defeated X."
<Dias`> NRP: SPoC
<DeathStar> <Paladin on Comm> Excellent.
* Sally`Wolf grins a bit. "So... any more evil laughter Mr. Scientist?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel checks to make sure the sleeping X doesn't have mortal wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* The scientist coughs up blood. "Impossible! She was all powerful!"
<Kulix> <Xril> Appearantly not..
<DeathStar> 6* X appears to have a scar along her chest, where her clothing is torn.
<DeathStar> 6* But it's no longer bleeding
<Dias`> 6Dias groans now that shes off him and he tries to stand up
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus crosses his arms. "Amazing how much she looks like Caesura."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes Dias' arm, helping him up.
<DeathStar> <PAladin on Comm> Bring X back to the base, and we'll move her to a holding cell.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes Cad, then gets a dead panned, panicked look. "Well, see you all later." 6* He runs off.
* Dias` 's eyes go wide as he's pulled up, a dazed look on his face. 1"So...I won?"
<Sally`Wolf> "Does that even work with someone who can do that... Ripple thing?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin on Comm> We have a comm that will nullify her powers.
<DeathStar> *cell
<Ariel> 6* Raquel glances back to frown at Drake running off. Wondering why Lilith doesn't stop him.
* Marcus` snacks Dias' face a few times. "Apparently. Good job."
<Chii> 6Lilith slides afront Drake, narrowing her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes Lilith, then holds out a biscuit taht smells good, tossing it to the side
<Dias`> 6Dias grabs his jaw as he turns to look at Marcus now. 1"No thanks to you. Luckily Cheryl was there to watch my ass."
<Chii> 6Lilith reaches out, as if to take it, but then flicks Drake in the forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias. "Not much of an ass to watch."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake makes a face.
<Dias`> And yet you can't keep your eyes off it.
<Marcus`> Eh. I was busy. *he gives a shrug*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She looks up at the sky.
<Chii> 6Lilith snatches Drake's hand, her other making conducting motions as she winds a piece of scrapmetal from all the dealings about both of their wrists-- then hurriedly bounds toward the biscuit.
<Sally`Wolf> "Well, Tokyo Tower destroyed, mass chaos, massive collateral damage to buildings, people injured horribly... but we got the girl... mission well done?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is dragged along.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll accept it.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<Kulix> *Xril stands silently. He has nothing to say to the humans, the mission completed without him. The singed Tsiv simply watches the sky, waiting for the transport.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus watches X through the energy cell, monitoring her vitals.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays face first on a table in the mess hall, looking like hell
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin goes over the mission reports from the team members in his office.
* Dias` drinks a bottle of water as he looks at Cheryl, he sighs. 1"So much for being free of this curse."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sits by the cell, not wanting X to wake up alone.
<Marcus`> * Theron is working on his gear.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Welcome back to the evil club.
<Marcus`> Do we get t-shirts? *he sits down at their table*
<Dias`> Not you. You don't count.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar wraps an arm around Chii, looking like Cheryl. "So, how many times have we fucked each other?"
<Marcus`> Yeah? Why's that?
<Chii> 6Chii slowly turns to peer at Scar, her skin crawling.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up a recorder to get her answer.
<Chii> Unless you wish to die, remove your arm.
<Dias`> Because clearly you don't have enough scars.
<DeathStar> 6* Sighing, Scar reverts back to his real form. "I WILL LEARN THE TRUTH!" 6* He runs off.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her side, where black lines are even more prominent due to the healing
<Chii> Your truth is oblivion. Stay away from me.
* Sally`Wolf nearly runs right into Scar as she heads towards the Mess Hall.
<Marcus`> Uh, sure. You're just pissy because I conserve my energy. Next battle i'll be sure to use all my energy into one attack like a dumbass. Would that be betteR?
* Dias` coughs, tugging at his collar.
<Chii> 6Lilith enters and sits near Raquel-- still bound to Drake.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Speaking of that, if not for that realm...
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is dragged along, looking dead.
<Dias`> I'd be fine. 6He crosses his arms, looking up.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks up at the two, then looks away. Didn't realize they were into bondage.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<Marcus`> No you'd probably be dead. According to the reports.
<Dias`> Reports are exagherated.
<Marcus`> Not when it comes to you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up, then announces loudly. "Going back to my room." 6* She walks off.
<Dias`> Look. I'll find a way to save us all. 6He eyes Cheryl. 1"Uh. Bye?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> She seems to have exhausted all her energy. She might sleep for days, Raquel.
<Kulix> *Xrileshir stands in a hallway gazing out over the earthen landscape in deep thought
<Sally`Wolf> "There you are..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks past Xril
<DeathStar> 6* Scar hurries on, not stopping
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly. "...I want to be here... for now."
* Sally`Wolf frowns and shrugs, heading over to Xril. "Enjoying the view?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Good. 6* He eyes Lilith. "Bad Dog."
* Marcus` eyes Cheryl walking off, and then glances around oddly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in her room, relaxing.
<Dias`> 6Dias holds his hands up innocently. 1"Don't ask me."
<Marcus`> I'm sure it has something to do with Chii. *he gives another shrug* So like. Wind is your dad or something?
<Kulix> *Xril's head turns, watching Cheryl as she passes " Its different. " he says in response to Sally
<Dias`> Huh? 6He stares at Marcus confused.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters her room
<Chii> 6Lilith turns and blinks at Caduceus. Wondering what he means.
<Marcus`> The report I read was vague. But you found out your true purpose or whatever, didn't ya?
<Dias`> It turns out I was right. 6He steps back.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus motions at Drake
<Marcus`> You really are too stupid to die?
<Chii> 6Lilith looks to drake, then stares at Caduceus.
<Chii> 6Chii eyes both Dias and Marcus, then shakes her head and gets up, exiting.
<Dias`> If that's my super powers. I'll take it.
* Marcus` motions to Chii leaving and nods to Dias. Winking.
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> I had no idea what I'm up against.. I should have observed her abilities more before making my moves.. *He says, returning his gaze to the landscape
* Dias` eyes Chii, wondering when she got in here.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus gives up and leaves Raq and Lil alone
<Marcus`> Maybe after you read your limit in corruption, you'll just go back to normal. Whereas me and Cheryl will probably kick the bucket.
<Dias`> I won't let either of you guys reach your limit. 6He crosses his arms.
<Sally`Wolf> Sally> "We learn by doing."
<Marcus`> Uh, goodluck with that. I'm sure Cheryl will totally listen to you.
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> Not a Tsivrixsh warrior. We may not survive to make the same mistake twice.. *he narrows his eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strips and falls down on her bed, face first
<Chii> 6Lilith eyes Drake, then pokes at him.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel half glances up at Lilith, a little embarassed by the situation. "so... um... is Drake okay...?"
<Dias`> IF there's a will, there's a way. I guess I'm proof of that.
<Sally`Wolf> "Hate to say it Xril, but you're going against your people's ways, it might do you some good to learn new tactics."
<Chii> <Lilith> The sword.
<Marcus`> Well, I sure don't know of a way. *he glances at his wrist* And i'm pretty sure that she'll go first. Since she seems to feed on that energy more than either of us.
<Dias`> No, she only seems to use it when she has no choice.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel blinks, "...what about it?"
<Chii> <Lilith> Drake requires the sword or a source of spiritual energy.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus walks away with the sword. To study it
* Marcus` stares at Dias. "Obviously you don't pay attention. She charges in and then when she gets overwhelmed she uses the energy. She puts herself in those situations because she thinks she's as powerful as she used to be.
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> I may disagree with my empire, but I am still a Tsivrixsh. *He reminds her
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what happened to the sword?"
<Dias`> No you don't pay attention. The markings on her body haven't increased as much as they used to. She did what she planned on doing. Feeding it into her dragoon abilities to regain her strength.
<Sally`Wolf> "A Tsiv fightign alongside Humans, Dragoons, and the occasional Erusian."
<Marcus`> Okay. *he stands* Congrats on that being weird thing. Always knew you had it in you. *he gives Dias a thumbs up and turns, moving towards the door.
<Chii> <Lilith> Caduceus has it.
<Chii> 6Chii knocks at Cheryl's door, peering both ways down the hall beforehand.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens
<Dias`> Okay? What do you mean okay?
* Chii closes her eyes. <How are you holding up?>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Like I was gutted, then seppukued.>
* Marcus` stops and glances over his shoulder. "Okay means okay. What else would it mean?"
* Chii opens her eyes. 1"Then you're doing pretty good?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wonderfully. 6* She says into the pillow
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> That may be, but I fail to see how the race of my commrades dictates what tactics are effective..
<Dias`> Yeah, 'cept it was followed by you standing up and getting ready to walk off.
<Marcus`> Because I feel like taking a shower. What're you acting like a girl for?
* Chii moves over to the bed and sits on the edge. 1"Roll over, let me look at it."
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> My failure was due to my lack of information.. What would you have done?
* Dias` rolls his eyes. 1"Right. You're just upset because I wouldn't let you in our evil tattoo club.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls onto her back, completely nude, where all the corruption lines and scars can be seen, going all over her body, to every location. Her side has the heaviest mass of lines that look like stitches, where she was cut open
<Marcus`> Maybe you'll think twice about being an asshat next time, eh? *he gives a shrug and then a wave, turning to step out*
<Ariel> Raquel> *flops against Lilith* "...why does 'Duce have his sword?"
<Sally`Wolf> Sally> "Improvised."
* Dias` nods and downs the rest of his water. Tossing it into the trash
<Chii> <Lilith> Perhaps to instigate a later encounter.
<Ariel> Raquel> *frowns... hoping her brother wasn't being possessive of Drake again...
* Chii winces, showing a concerned frown, grimacing. 1"Cheryl..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ugly to look at, eh?
<Chii> 6Lilith tilts her head at Raquel, then grabs his wrist bracelet and puts it on Drake.
* Dias` dusts his hands off and moves out of the messhall, and walks down the hallway
<Chii> Has nothing to do with being ugly or not.
<Kulix> <Xril> ... *He eyes her annoyedly* I didnt plan to have the shuttle destroyed with me in it.. I didnt plan on missing every shot I took. And I did NOT plan shooting MYSELF in the back! I improvised, Sally, and failed... *His voice is low, almost growling
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leaps out on Dias' back. "Change me into a beautiful girl, oh reality bender."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake opens one eye, drawing energy from Raquel
<DeathStar> <Drake> Eh...?
* Dias` stumbles forward and looks over his shoulder. 1"You're saying you're not beautiful the way you are?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> There's always room for improvement
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* Yeah? Even I'm slightly grossed out by myself.
<Dias`> And here I thought evil was perfect.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Says the guy who beats any evil.
<Sally`Wolf> "Then you keep trying. Look, you were up against odds that greatly outpaced you, they outpaced the lot of us, but you tried."
<Sally`Wolf> "That's all that counts."
<Chii> <Lilith> Interesting.
<Dias`> Nice. 6He points up at her. 1"I honestly thought it was just this, whatever it is in me that kept me going."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel blinks, "...Drake?"
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
<Chii> 6Chii reaches over and pinches Cheryl's side. 1"Hrmph."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're going despite it, not because of it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks. "Ow! FUCK!"
<Dias`> No, I mean when I was fighting X. I just thought I was tapping into it to overcome everything that she threw at me. It never dawned on me until we were trapped in that black dimension thing.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yo.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You overcame thinks before you got corrupted, right? Makes sense that you don't need the corruption
<Ariel> Raquel> "...why are you awake now?"
* Kulix has left #taw
<DeathStar> <Drake> I'm taking all your energy.
* Kulix has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Drake blinks, then eyes the bracelet. "Ack!? Why am I doing that?"
<Dias`> When you put it that way, it makes sense. 6He nods.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Good. Now buy me icecream
<Dias`> I can do that. Let's go. 6He moves down the hallway, heading to his room to get money
<DeathStar> 6* Billy rides along.
<Ariel> Raquel> *chokes* "...that sounds like a bad thing..."
<Kulix> <Xril> Trying..? Trying? *He turns to face her* Do you know how many cadets I've seen enter the academy, TRYING to make the grade? I dont know about you, but I have GOALS Sally. I've seen countless FAILURES. Trying is NOTHING. VICTORY is the ONLY THING THAT COUNTS! *he growls, turning, walking awa
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, yeah. You could die.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...dying would be bad."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Very bad.
* Dias` stops infront of Cheryl's door and knocks on it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up, then throws her sheets over herself. "Yeah?"
<Dias`> I'm taking Billy out for some ice cream. You want me to bring you some back?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh, no thanks!
* Chii jabs Cheryl
* Dias` looks back at Cheryl, making an odd face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl owls.
<Dias`> You ok in there?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Y-Yes.
<Dias`> ...Ok now I know you're lieing.
* Chii frowns at Cheryl. 1"You don't want ice cream?" 6She whispers.
* Sally`Wolf just shrugs after a long while and turns the other way, walking away.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake smiles at RAquel. "Glad you two are safe, though."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No I don't! 6* She whispers back
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'M NOT LYING
<DeathStar> <Billy> She's lying.
<Dias`> Yeah, because you stutter when you're honest.
<Chii> 6Lilith smiles at Drake, then eyes Raquel. She can sustain two spiritual leeches. Amazing.
* Chii crosses her arms. 1"Maybe I want ice cream."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Fine, get some fucking ice cream.
<Dias`> Now that's the Cheryl I remember. What flavor?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The worst flavor you can find.
* Chii gapes, then mouths Blackberry, Blackberry!
* Dias` pauses for a moment. 1"You plan on giving it to Chii or something?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Tch. Blackberry.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get me Blackbe--what the fuck is that?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leans in, hearing Cheryl ask the question to someone in the room
<Dias`> I dont' know what Blackbe is.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Berry! Jesus.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles, "Well... we only went up against the ulitmate weapon."
<Dias`> I'm gonna go out on a limb here. Chii's in there.
<DeathStar> <Drake> *rubs the back of his head*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> N-No
<Dias`> You're lieing again.
<DeathStar> <Drake> But you won, so that makes you the ultimate weapon.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I AM NOT
* Chii narrows her eyes at the door, then slips over to the corner behind the door.
<Dias`> That's not what my les-dar says.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Les-dar? I AM NOT FUCKING GAY
<Dias`> No, but she is,.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I wonder about that..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... She's bi!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles, "The ultimate spirit weapon maybe."
<Dias`> Wait. She slept with a guy finally?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes!
<Dias`> ...Who?
* Chii blinks at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Marcus!
* Chii 's jaw drops.
* Dias` looks at Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy gapes.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Indeed you are.
<Dias`> Oh Billy's so going to kill him,
<Chii> <Scar would have been a better answer, bitch!>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* Cheryl glances away. Apparantly she'd rather not.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... does he sleep with everyone but me?!
<Dias`> Apparently he does. What a dick.
<Chii> <Unless you're getting revenge on Marcus in which case...> 6Makes a thumbs up, grinning.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, he won't be a dick for long. 6* She leaps off with a knife
<Dias`> Oh this won't end well
<DeathStar> 6* Drake ruffles Raquel and Lilith's heads
<DeathStar> <Drake> Well, I should go before I take too much energy. Stay strong. 6* He falls over dead again
<Chii> 6Lilith closes her eyes, smiling subtly.
<Dias`> Well there goes getting ice cream. 6He sighs. 1"Unless you wanna come with me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I mean, busy!
<Chii> 6Lilith then returns the bracelet to Raquel.
<Dias`> Busy. You mean you would?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> GRAH. GODDAMMIT
<Chii> 6Chii leaps up and enters the ducts, escaping.
<Dias`> I'm getting confused. What's...Huh. My les-dar just shut off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *rubs her face* Go get the blackberry ice cream and we'll have it then
<Ariel> Raquel> *pouts* "...we need to get his sword back. I miss having him around..."
<Dias`> You do know it'd be easier if you just came with me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stabbed and all!
<Dias`> I'll carry you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> W-What? Fuck no!
<Kulix> *A bag is stricken free from its chains, sending stuffing flying wild in the gym. Xril grabs it, heaving it into another bag win a twist, then kicks again with his powerful legs, with a snap he sends the two of them sailing. He roars- working off his frustrations against mock enemies... He pauses as they hit the ground.. their just dummies..
<Dias`> I'll do it. Lifting you's a cinch.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No!
* Chii drops out of the vents near Kulix. She stops and stares.
<Chii> Ohhhh. They hate it when I do that.
<Dias`> But it could melt by the time I got back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twitches in her bed, storms out off the bed, opens the door, naked, and punches at Dias' face
<Kulix> *Xril's eyes shoot to lock onto Chii " Spare me. "
<Dias`> 6Dias's head snaps back as it's punched. He grabs his nose. 1"Oww..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now go get it and come back. 6* She closes the door
<Dias`> You want two spoons?
* Chii eyes Xril then tilts her head. 1"Excuse me?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... yes.
<Dias`> So we can share? 6He coo's
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twitches more. Killing intent rising
<Dias`> So you and Chii can share? 6He coo's more
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the door and tackles Dias, aiming to beat him up with wild punches.
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> I've got more pressing matters to worry about than 'their' mild annoyance.
<Chii> No, I believe you don't.
<Dias`> 6Dias get's beaten up by a naked Cheryl. His reality powers kicking in
* Chii raises a hand and points at him. 1"Trust me, I'd know. I have no place in this world except for the sad existence I've made for myself."
<Chii> But you, you have even less. An honorable traitor is still a traitor. Don't go pissing off the people that lent you a hand-- it's just as easily taken away.
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> There is no honor in defeat..
* Chii grins widely, her eyes squinting. 1"On the other hand, if you're just being pissy, go ahead and flare up again. That broken pride and rage is sweet and syrupy."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, laying on Dias naked. She looks at herself, then him
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ...
* Dias` wiggles his eyebrows
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl knees him in the groin and goes back to her room
<Dias`> 6Dias hurks over, slapping the ground in pain. 1"Right..Ice cream for two it is."
<DeathStar> -END-

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080612.log'
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> ... Are you always this inflamatory? *he asks Chii
<Chii> <Chii> I've improved a lot, so I hear.
<Chii> But I don't have any issues with you being pissy. I'm sure I'd get a medal if you went berserk and I took you out. It'd be yummy, too.
* Chii licks her lips.
<Kulix> *Xril raises a brow at her gesture " Then perhaps I should be grateful I missed out on your antics. As for your team, I doubt they would destroy the only Tsiv willing to befriend them over a simple chain... repeated failure however.. is another story. "
<Kulix> *He shakes his head " Besides, YOU couldnt drive me into a rage.. "
<Kulix> <Xril> I care not for words. *He turns, continuing to drive his fists into the recoiling bag
<Chii> Apparently I don't have to.
* Chii puts her hands on her hips and leans forward. 1"You wouldn't be whining so much if you know how much I have fucked up around here."
<Kulix> <Xrileshir> Oh? Why dont you enlighten me? *THWACKBAMPOWSMACKBIFF!
<Chii> Eh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the room, wearing her jacket and a white shirt, plus some loose shorts. "Here you are."
* Chii waves a hand dismissingly, then grins a bit and pulls out one of her guns, making a 'shhh' motion at Cheryl. She aims for Xrilreshir's feet.
<Kulix> *At Cheryl's voice his face contorts. The bag once again flies off its chain- aimed to miss Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the bag not coming near her, which is good, since she wasn't near it.
<Kulix> *Xril would have propelled it towards her
* Chii begins firing shots near Kulix's feet, live rounds of course, clicking the burstfire on with her thumb.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't move, just standing there as it passes her, since it was aimed to miss.
<Kulix> *Xril's feet come off the ground " DONT TOY WITH ME! " he yells, spinning into a roundhouse to disarm Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms go off when the gun is fired
* Chii sweeps back, although she probably didn't figure she was anywhere near being close enough for him to do that, continuing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs, rolling her eyes upward.
* Chii whips out her second and sets it to burst also, alternating hands for either of his feet, laughing childishly.
<DeathStar> 6* Guards rush into the room with weapons, sweeping the area. They aim at Chii
<Kulix> *Xril leaps forward, his long springing legs quickly covering the distance between he and Chii, and her incessant backpedalling as he swipes once again at the gun

<Marcus`> Could be. *he repeats, nodding* Maybe this go around there might even be a spark or something.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, thought so.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> If we were still in that mode of thinking, I probably wouldn't be here. I am not bitter about society being reshuffled. I'm bitter at being orphaned. That is why its easier to not deal with it and just be somebody else...without a care in the world...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the ceiling now, a peculiar expression on her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods a few times. "Maybe so."
<Kit> <Chii> Oh well. You've laughed at me every time I've danced for you anyway.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's me. A bitch.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, call it what you want. I expected it, so I could hardly label it.
<Kit> <Chii> Later, then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Yeah. Later. 6* She keeps eyeing the ceiling
<Marcus`> I'd better get to coming up with some good romantic ideas then. Mind if I borrow that? *he points to the book Chii left*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Go ahead. 6* She smiles amusedly.
<Marcus`> * Theron closes his eyes. "My heart is heavy for your loss. It is why I have been there for you ever since. You deserved not such a fate. But you are not alone, your reasons for pretend are warrented but uneeded. I am here. You need not pretend." He opens his eyes and steps forward, placing a hand on her shoulder during all of this.
* Marcus` grins and picks it up, flipping through it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches him.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Well, I have more fun when I act spacy!
<Marcus`> <Theron> Then you should act the way you desire to do so. *he pulls his hand back*
<Kit> 6Chii returns to the mess hall with the same expression as when she left.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Chii. "Hi, Chii. No go?"
<Kit> <Chii> Course not.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Did you ask why she wouldn't go?
* Marcus` peers up from his book, then holds out his hand toward Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slaps the hand, and gives him a look
* Marcus` coughs and just looks back to the book.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Ok!
<Kit> <Chii> No. But I could." 6She rises.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs Chii's arm briefly, giving her a smile.
<Marcus`> I'm sure it's because she doesn't know how to dance, and is probably too embrassed to go to a dance club. *he notes without glancing up*
<Kit> <Chii> Of course she doesn't. Neither do I.
<Marcus`> Says the fox that did a whole mess of bumping and grinding with us last year.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Marcus is right
* Marcus` glances up. "You've said that alot today Kat. It's pretty hot."
<Kit> <Chii> Not like it was hard to improvise, but all I have memories of as far as dancing is tea ceremony.
<Marcus`> * Theron nods and shifts over to kneel down and work on something.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Marcus a single glance.
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> *continues working on another panel*
<Kit> <Chii> <So why won't you go? Bum.>
* Marcus` wiggles his brow, obviously playing around, then glances at Chii. "You never know with Cheryl. It could be something more complex than some intial assumption."
<DeathStar> 6* Long pause. <I'm a bitch, remember?>
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets a banana while they wait, eating it
<Marcus`> * Theron glances over his shoulder. "I do not desire you to think any less of me."
<Kit> <Chii> <Besides that.>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <.......> 6* She tries the silent technique
* Marcus` pauses and then glances up. "When was the last time you last had someone cook you a really good meal?"
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Huh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Someone else? Probably when Iceheart made me something.
<Kit> <Chii> You didn't eat my quiche? Hrmph.
<Kit> <Chii> <Yeah, yeah. Besides that, too.>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You never offered me quiche.
<Kit> <Chii> There's half of one in the cooler.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So I only get half of one that's been in the cooler?
* Marcus` just watches the two quietly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <*mumble*>
<Kit> <Chii> <Wow, I didn't know someone could mutter like this.>
<Kit> <Chii> I ate the other half." 6Narrows eyes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *scorn*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at her.
<Marcus`> <Theron> My views of the war. They are different from your own, but do not forget that I stood by the Yloi in their fight, as that was the honorable thing to do.
<DeathStar> NRP: <Theron> 'cause Rylon was insane joining the Tsiv.
<Kit> <Chii> <God damn it. Spit it out.>
<Kit> <Chii> <Don't make me come back there.>
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> ...thank you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Fine! I look goddamn ugly with all these scars and lines, and I'm not about to go to a club wearing one of those skimpy goddamn clubber outfits.>
<Kit> 6Chii visibly reels.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Chii, blinking at her reeling.
<Kit> <Chii> Th-That's it..!?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's what?
<Kit> 6Chii smacks her forehead. <God you're dumb. I can solve that easy.>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's ire rises being called dumb.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at Chii smacking herself now.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Everyone lost someone in the war. Some more than others. Your methods are hiding your true self are understandable, but they are also cowardly. At least in my own opinion. You should be who Myria is. Not whom everyone else feels that she is. If that really is who you are. Then that is who you are. Correct?
* Marcus` sits up. "Well maybe I can cook you something nice here soon." he says finally, placing the book under his arm.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That would be ... nice. 6* She seems distracted by Chii's odd behavior
<Kit> <Chii> <Scars? Stockings and armgloves can fix most of that, the lines? Not like most people know what they are. They'd just think you had pretty radical tatoo-work.>
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> Uhhhh...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <I am not wearing stockings.>
<Kit> <Chii> <Tch, why?>
* Marcus` nods once, studying Chii.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Because I'm not!> 6* She snaps mentally.
<Kit> 6Chii gestures questioningly. <We're talking in our heads, not reading them. Throw me a bone.>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <.... .... ....> 6* She doesn't, but it seems she has a deep hate for the idea.
<Kit> <Chii> <Tch, I wear them all the time.>
<Kit> 6Chii frowns and leans on a hand, muttering.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Then you wear them.>
<Kit> <Chii> <You're the one whinin' about scars or something. Don't you heal over anyway?>
<Marcus`> * Theron study's Myria. But doesn't know how to take that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Not from the corruption.>
<Kit> <Chii> <Just wear jeans, then.>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Tch>>
<Kit> <Chii> <Now what?>
<Jackieness> 6<12Myria6> I'll...consider it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Fine. I'll be there in a moment.>
<Kit> 6Chii laughs at nothing in particular.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks. "She said something funny?<
<Kit> <Chii> Guess I'll have to change clothes.
<Marcus`> * Theron bows his head with a nod. "I much prefer the girl that is herself." He shifts to work back on his section.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? I have some cute outfits that might fit you.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets that look like a child playing with a doll
<Kit> <Chii> Eh..? ...Okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leaps up and grabs Chii's arm, dragging her off.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh! Eyahhh!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters her room and begins to toss down tops, skirts, and other ware onto her bed. "Just pick out what you like."
* Marcus` leans back, he usually is always dressed like he could go out, so he just seems to be waiting.
<Kit> 6Chii nervously browses the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances over her clothing. "What should I wear, you think?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the mess hall in full uniform, her hair down instead of a ponytail. She sits across from Marcus, arms crossed, death in her eye
* Marcus` slowly stops tapping the table, focusing on Cheryl. "So. Your hair looks nice."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It looks like I just woke up.
* Marcus` smirks. "That usually means something when I see a girl with her hair like that."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? ... Fuck. 6* She realizes what he meant
* Marcus` laughs slightly. "I'm glad you're coming. This could be fun." He says with a nod.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's one of two possibilities.
<Kit> <Chii> I-- ...What do you prefer to?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I'm up for anything.
<Kit> <Chii> Meido.
<Marcus`> I'd better keep these crossed then. *he holds up his fingers, which are crossed*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina giggles. "Maybe if it was just the two of us."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drums her fingers. "Where the hell is Chii?"
<Kit> <Chii> Heheh...
<Marcus`> Katrina is dressing her up or something. Girls and their makeovers, you know.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should try to see if Cheryl will ever wear one for you. She'd look good.
<Kit> <Chii> Jeans, and a short-sleeve with a tie.
<Marcus`> Say, you wouldn't know why Billy seemed to think that you and I were sleeping together, would you?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "Okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves to find a tie.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances to the side. "No idea."
* Marcus` nods. "Probably just Scar or somethin. Oh well. You been doing alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to change in front of Chii, stripping to her bra and underwear, then gets dressed as Chii suggested
<Kit> <Chii> Er, not that kind of tie." 6She waves a hand, then holds up a blouse that ties around the waist into a bow in the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses as she adjusts her jeans. "Oh?"
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah." 6She nods, peering at the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tosses down the real tie. "Okay."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets dressed
* Marcus` scratches his nose with his evil energy hand. "Guess I lucked out with this." He pulls it back, looking at it. "It's kinda ugly though."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Well. So is my body.
* Marcus` snorts. "Yeah right. You have a sexy body, scars or not. You shouldn't think otherwise, either."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure. 6* She says in a tone that's clearly pacifying.
* Marcus` shakes his head once. "I have no reason to lie to you on that. So take it or not. But these scars aren't so bad. They could be worse."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? Like ugly stitches that run along one's side where she was split open? 6* She notes dryly.
<Marcus`> Nah, they could be pink scars. Man that would be horrible.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him.
<Marcus`> Like neon pink. *he shudders*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .......
* Kit is now known as Kitzzzune
* Marcus` leans forward. "Wounds heal. Scars, well they don't go away, but they are part of who we are. Define us and our past experiences, or something like that, right? I understand how you feel though. To someone that doesn't understand, these scars are ugly, maybe frightening even.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I just don't like people staring. Going to a club is asking for it.
* Marcus` nods. "Yeah, it really is. It's probably why someone like Chii would really enjoy it. Since she loves attention. It's probably why Kat enjoys it as well."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. They do get along well in their tastes.
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Marcus` nods once. "I noticed you and Dias are acting friendly again. I'm glad."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *shrugs* Yeah. I guess so.
<Marcus`> Nothing better than my friends getting along. *he says with a nod*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... so that ranks as your best feeling?
<Marcus`> Ah not really. I'm sure there's other things that are better. But it's still nice to see.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nods once.
* Marcus` adjusts himself in his seat. "You mind if I ask you something?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Depends on what you ask.
<Marcus`> Well then you can choose to answer it or not. *he goes silent as if thinking about the way to put the questions togehter* Do you believe in love at first sight? It's something you hear about, but do you think it's really possible?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Since I don't love anything, I wouldn't know.
<Marcus`> You love to fight, I thought.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't mistake love with good feelings and joy.
<Marcus`> Ah ok. *he rubs his chin* Well you want to know what I think. I don't think love at first sight is possible. There is no possible way that you could be walking down the street and KNOW that your soul mate is right there coming your way.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay. 6* She notes plainly, staring at Marcus.
<Marcus`> I dunno, I know you don't care. But it was just something I was thinking about the other day.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thinking about McCormick?
<Marcus`> Among other people. I've only really ever loved someone before and that was Zephyr. Or at least I thought it was love. I don't even know if it was, now. So i've just been trying to think about how I feel about different people and see if that is any different.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah.
<Marcus`> I know that since you don't know what love is, that you can't help me. But I thought maybe you could give me an objective opinion.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I can, I will.
<Marcus`> Here's what I think. After a long drawn out night of thinking, wouldn't it make more sense that you would fall into lust? The first thing you see in someone is their appearance, and if that's what does it for you, then you get to know them from there. Then, after that, I think you learn more about people and that's where the love thing would come into play.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess.
* Marcus` nods. "Yeah, I dunno either. I mean, I think I've figured it out, like, how to know if you love someone, but I could be wrong."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I wouldn't know.
<Marcus`> Well, you're with this person. And there are things about them that you like of course, because something had to draw you in, looks, personality, whatever. But when it comes to their flaws, those things that are slowly revealed over time as you get to know a person. When you can see their flaws, and accept then, even like them because it makes them who they are, I think that's when <cont>
<Marcus`> you're getting into the love territory. That's my opinion at least, so if you didn't know what love is, now you know what it might be. *he gives a slight laugh* I dunno. Maybe.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh huh
<Marcus`> I know you don't care. But that's what i've come up with. And I just know that I really don't know anyone enough to be able to even see their flaws.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just open your eyes, then. The team is filled with flaws.
<Marcus`> Maybe I just need to pull together the few names of people that are interested in me and then see just what their flaws are. *he thinks*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Very methodical.
<Marcus`> Alright. Numbers 1...Sally. *he pauses* Ok, no. *he frowns* I think maybe only Kat is actually slightly even interested in me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If Sal will bang the shapeshifter, she'd bang you
<Marcus`> By all rights she probably already has. *he says with a face, as if that actually bothers him*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Probably.
<Marcus`> You know, I don't understand why Scar is still around. He served his purpose, we killed most of his kind.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's still valuable when we fight the Dark Ones again
<Marcus`> God knows when that'll be. *he sighs* I guess it can't be helped then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get use to it.
* Kulix has quit IRC (Quit: Sleepness.)
<Marcus`> Yeah. I know. And now we've got a Tsiv on our team. It's just...like they think putting potential risks for betrayal on our team is a good idea or something.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look at me. I could kill you all at any time.
<Marcus`> Let's hope that doesn't happen. I would hate to have to kill you. Like, fall into a depression hate it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh? 6* She raises a brow at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the cafeteria in her outfit. "Chii will need some more time deciding."
* Marcus` goes to open his mouth, but stops and glances at Kat he nods at her. "Of course." He glances back at Cheryl at the corner of his eye. "Not saying I could. But I just would hate it, that's all."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once. "I'll get out of you two's way, then." 6* She stands up.
<Marcus`> We should hang out more. Been a while since we sat around drinking, right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Sure. 6* She nods to Kat and steps out
* Marcus` gives her a wave, then glances at Kat, giving her a half-smile.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Did I interrupt something? 6* She sits.
<Marcus`> I dunno, not really I guess. It's not like you can get really personal with Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. I guess it's how you go about it.
<Marcus`> Yeah. I wasn't really trying too, so I wouldn't say I was this time. Though I was sorta trying to hint to her what I think love is.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh really? And what do you think love is? 6* She smiles a bit.
<Marcus`> Well. Do you really want to know my opinion?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course.
* Marcus` takes a breath and then breaks it down in a step by step approach like he did with Cheryl, read up fuckers.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods as she listens
<Marcus`> So..yeah, I could be totally wrong. But that's what I think.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What about a parent's love for their child, or a child's love for their parent?
<Marcus`> Well that would be a completely different kind of love altogether. Since if you loved your kid like your lady then that would be weird. *he shrugs after that* Though really, I'm sure that love is something that is deeper than anything superficial like the flaw concept.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmhm. Love is a very deep thing. I think, though, when you can accept a person's flaws, that's a kind of love that's hard to achieve.
<Marcus`> It's just an idea I was playing around with. It's something that eventually I would like to experience.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's a nice feeling. 6* She says a bit distantly, then focuses back on Marcus
* Marcus` reaches out and takes Katrina's hand and turns it so that it is palm up. He takes his real hand and begins to trace the lines on her hand. "Did I ever tell you that I can read palms?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina controls a slight shiver. "Really?"
<Marcus`> You've had a life full of great happyness and great saddness. *he notes, slowly moves his finger along* But eventually, I can see more happyness in your future. A sense of...calm.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? And what sort of happiness can I expect?
<Marcus`> Well if it were that exact, then I could do fortunes and earn large amounts of money from that. *he raises his hand from her own, smiling*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It would be quite the career change. 6* She shifts her hands together. "I knew someone who could tell you your future simply by touching you."
<Marcus`> That Spade guy, right?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. Shiva. 6* She notes softly.
<Marcus`> Ah. *he nods* I bet that could be both frustrating and amazing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It was always something unique.
* Marcus` shifts slightly. "I would say so. Was her predictions always true?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Almost always.
<Marcus`> Huh...did she ever tell you how your life would turn out?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If she did, it would be secret. 6* She smiles warmly, so there's no edge to her words.
<Marcus`> Of course. I'm nosey, but not that nosey. *he sits back and crosses his arms, the clawed hand hidden.* Having that bit of information would definitely be nice to have though. To know that no matter how hard things get, that you can survive and move on to other things.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A blessing, or a curse.
* Marcus` nods his head slowly. "You're right. But worth it, I woudl think."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just nods a few times, not really weighing in if she thinks it's worth it or not. "I'm going to check on Chii, and see if she's ready to go out."
* Marcus` bows his head. "Alright."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Think of some nice clubs while I get her. 6* She stands and moves out
