<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: Shi
* Kulix is now known as Xrilisher
<DeathStar> 6* After exiting using the Light Engine, everyone is unconscious - EXCEPT DIAS
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves his gear towards the hanger entrance and begins to power up his boosters
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias`
<DeathStar> 6* Waiting on the fleet, which is down from being unconscious, is 20 ships, which begin to open fire on the Alliance fleet.
<DeathStar> 6* Enemy Gears and fighters begin to strafe the ships as well
* Dias` blasts out of their ship and breaks off towards some gears and fighters.
<DeathStar> 6* A ship of the ATLEANs explodes from damage.
* Dias` begins firing his turrets on a group on a gear.
<DeathStar> 6* The Gears break, then 20 of them begin to fly at Dias.
<Dias`> 6Dias breaks upwards now.
<DeathStar> 6* The Gears zoom after Dias, as another ATLEAN ship explodes. Those brave souls.
* Dias` fires onto another group of gears as he arcs by them
<DeathStar> 6* One of the Gears explodes
<DeathStar> 6* Recovering first, Theron and Xrileshir would awaken.
<Dias`> <Dias> Let's play a game of tag boys. 6He laughs as he spins, firing onto another set.
<Marcus> * Theron shakes his head, opening his eyes, he pauses and then moves his gear forward, blasting towards the hanger exit.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias blows up another one, but one Gear fires a beam in front of Dias' gear path
<Dias`> 6Dias jerks the controls up, trying to get up and over it
<DeathStar> 6* Another Gear rams Dias as he goes over it.
<Dias`> 6Dias spins from the ram. His hand grabbing the blade off his chest. He swings as he spins, aiming to cleave it in half
* Xrilisher sits up in his seat, shaking his head. He looks around " Everyones out.. " he stands, shouting out to all in the shuttle " RISE AND SHINE! WAR IS UPON US COMRADES! "
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans, holding his head
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' cuts the gear and it explodes
<Dias`> 6Chad winces as he slowly rises.
<Marcus> * Theron adjusts once out in the midst of space and spots Dias and his slew of enemies, he raises his rifle and moves off towards the group, firing at the closest one to himself.
* Sally grabs her head and grumbles, gently hitting Xril in the side. "Bloody 'ell, I'm tryin tah get in a nap."
<Dias`> 6Dias breaks off again, rolling to keep from getting hit, heading around in a loop
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands finally, slapping Chii awake
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits up.
<Kit> 6Chii curses. 1"FUCK! What!?"
* Xrilisher chuckles " Plently of time to rest when you'r dead. Lets go. " he heads out of the shuttle
<Marcus> * Drasek groans, laying there on his crates.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Time to go.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, right.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans on the outside of the shuttle, grabbing his datapad to monitor the fight
<Kit> 6Freyja leans against the hangar wall. 1"Hmm. Wonder if I should even bother trying to help with something like this..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii's hands, leaning in clos.
<Dias`> 6Chad moves over to Darien, and leans next to him.
<DeathStar> 6* Ten Gears fire at Dias from all angles.
* Sally sits back and grumbles, holding her head still. "Anyone got an asprin about as big as the Tsiv."
<Kit> 6Chii takes Cheryl's hands and leans in, lifting her head up to touch foreheads. 1"Hrmph."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr picks up Megumi. "Time to fight."
<Dias`> 6Dias jerks the blade sideways and holds it infront of him at a slight angle as he boosts towards one of the beams.
<Kit> 6Megumi appears to still be dozing-- partially.
<Marcus> * Theron aims at one of the ten and lets out an attack from his rifle towards it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smirks, turning into her Gnarly Gear form
<Ariel> 6* Em glares at the spot where her gear would be, as if it could make one suddenly materialize.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She smacks Megumi's ass
<Kit> 6Megumi squeals and leaps upwards, awake.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No time to sleep!
<DeathStar> 6* The beam smacks into Dias' blade.
<Kit> <Megumi> S-Sorry, are we there yet?
<DeathStar> 6* A gear swings it's sword down at Theron
<Kit> 6Megumi's ears twitch and she peers out at the battle.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sighs*
<Dias`> 6Dias hits his boosters, using his blade as a shield as he heads right for the gear.
* Marcus slowlys lifts his head up, smacking his lips then pausing, glancing around slowly.
<Marcus> * Theron shift just enough to pull his Katana up for the parry, jerking around to kick out for the gear, aiming to send it flying out of control.
<Kit> 6Chii takes them outside and glances around. 1"Alright, let's find some lonely ones."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smirks, then targets one
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear aims at Dias, panic firing
<Kit> 6Megumi glances to Zephyr, smiling nervously. 1"Er, sorry. I know, I am not reliable like that."
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear kicked by Theron spins out of control
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Come on. 6* She takes off her trench coat, stuffing it down Megumi's clothing, so she's butt naked, then quickly makes a Gear with her.
<Dias`> 6Dias goes to ram into the gear, pushing it with his blade. His right hand sneaking around to grab it
<Marcus> * Theron pulls up his rifle and releases a full auto assault towards it.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes it as its targetted, then poises, dashing for it head-on
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and Theron whoop ass. 'nuff said.
<Kit> <Megumi> M-Must you plant that within my clothes!?
<Dias`> 6Dias grabs the gear and twists, hurling it towards another gear.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You want me to be indecent?
* Sally takes a seat on the shuttle ramp.
* Marcus snaps to full concious, wiping the drool from the edge of his mouth, then turns and blasts out of the hangar.
<Dias`> <DiasComm> About time you boys join me. I thought I'd have to take the whole fleet down myself.
<Kit> <Megumi> ... ... " 6It seems she's thinking hard on it. 1"Never mind that..!" 6She leaps out of the hangar, flying along.
* Xrilisher makes his way through the ship to a turret control console inside of the large battleship. He grabs the human, removing him from his seat. "I'll take it from here." he slides into the seat, beggining to support the earth forces mechs with cover fire
<Marcus> <Comm> I was napping, man. You know I need all the beauty sleep I can get.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smashes a Gear in half with her whip
<Dias`> <DiasComm> God don't remind me. By the way. I'm 4-5 up already.
<Kit> <Chii> Nothing will cure that ugly mug, Marcus." 6She dashes upward, then suddenly down in a returning arc for the next.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' thrown gear blows up another Gear.
<Dias`> <Comm> 6. 6He blasts off, firing it's turrets on another set of gears.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, all the Gears break away, moving to other parts of the fleet battle, leaving their area, and their ship, alone.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think we scared them.
* Marcus groans loudly, then pauses and clicks his comm and then groans even more loudly, then blasts for the closest gear, firing with his autorifle.
<Dias`> <Comm> ...This isn't good.
<Kit> <Megumi> Heads up! They may be thinking to use a sphere!
* Marcus slows down. "Aw man. I didn't get to fight."
<Kit> <Chii> Move the ship!
<Dias`> 6Chad looks at Darien's datapad. 1"...They're prepping a huge attack."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a dark Gear appears, that looks like Madara II
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... ... maybe not. What is THAT?
<Kit> 6Megumi glances up toward it, shifting their position.
<Dias`> 6Dias spins, locking on the Dark Gear. 1"Oh hell yeah.
<Marcus> * Theron adjusts himself and peers at this Dark Gear. He makes a face.
<Kit> <Chii> Uh, worse. Isn't Myria's gear a pain in the ass?"
<Dias`> <Chad> Trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II suddenly whips out two huge cannons, aiming at the ship.
<Kit> 6Megumi raises a hand toward it with her fingers posed and nervously rattles of. 1"Bang!"
<Dias`> 6Dias boosts towards the Dark Madara II, firing it's turrets on it
<DeathStar> 6* The blat hits the Dark Madara II's shields.
* Xrilisher directs the turret, attempting to fire down the barrel of one of Dark Madara's cannons
<Ariel> Em> "...at a time like this, I really wish I had a gear."
<DeathStar> 6* All the blasts hit their shields, and it unleashes two huge blasts at the ship
<Kit> <Megumi> Zephyr, can you make multiple locks while we move?" 6She begins to strafe the gear.
<DeathStar> <Darien> EVERYONE, BRACE YOURSELVES
<Dias`> <Chad> Shit. Brace for impact. 6He braces himself
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yep. 6* She begins to do so
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to take control to get in front of a blast.
* Myria takes Madara II out of the hangar and then flies right t her dark counterpart.
<Kit> 6Freyja stares. 1"Well, now." 6She holds up a hand, focusing on reinforcing the ship's shields. It's not much, but something.
* Sally grabs onto something. "Damnit!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there calmly, holding flowers.
<Marcus> <Comm> Holy shit.
<Dias`> 6Dias breaks around, moving to come in behind the Dark Madara II
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl... d-damn it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds out her hands, letting the blast impact. The second hits the ship, shaking it hard, as shields drop
* Xrilisher clutches his seat, letting out a ringing laughter as he awaits the oncoming impact
<Kit> 6Chii forms seals with the gear, holding out a hand. 1"Doton!" 6And tries to extend at least a semi-circle of Earth-- a bit too late.
<DeathStar> 6* The officer he threw off aims his gun at Xrileshir, thinking he's insane
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II spins to face Dias, slashing a sword that comes out of nowhere, sending an energy arc at him
<Kit> 6Megumi ends their arc around behind the gear. 1"Alright. Lock, release. Fire!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to fire her weapons at the Gear.
<Kit> <Chii> Gh. Cherry, still with me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Rungh...yeah.
<Dias`> 6Dias breaks down, trying to spiral under it
* Xrilisher 's laughter ceases, as he eyes the officer out of the corner of an eye. He opens his mouth to speak, then spins without warning, grabbing at the barrel of the gun, lunging forward to deliver a full on punch to his face
<DeathStar> 6* The officer goes down
* Myria has Madara form light armor and light blades and then cuts sharply in direction, slashing out at the Dark Madara.
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts their wings and heads upward, to avoid being targeted themselves. 1"Reform locks. We'll support."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara turns to face Myria as Dias dodges, parrying with it's blade.
* Xrilisher puts the gun on safety, placing it on his belt " Be grateful I saved you from being charged with friendly fire. " he takes a seat, resuming his cover fire
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's shots hit it's shields, not breaking through
<Dias`> 6Dias jerks upwards, swinging his blade to hit it as it parries Myria
<Myria> Come on, you two bit knockoff!
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II pulls out a second sword, parrying Dias. It holds both at bay
<Marcus> * Theron shifts to see the two Madara gears collide. He frowns and then pulls up his Katana blasting towards it.
<Dias`> 6Dias presses against the the DMII's blade.
<Kit> <Megumi> Myria, Dias. Back off, then attack it after impact. Ready, Zephyr?
<DeathStar> 6* It begins to form a dark matter energy aura around it, that begins to tear into both good gears.
* Myria then forms a second light blade and stabs at the Dark Madara.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Read--wait, what's that?
<DeathStar> 6* The light blade hits the aura, being deflected
<Dias`> 6Dias boosts backwards.
<Kit> <Megumi> Is it not just Dark One influence?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the enemy Gear.
* Myria reverses direction sharply, flying back from the opponent.
<Marcus> * Theron jerks to a halt when he sees the two retreating.
<DeathStar> 6* Dark Madara II stops it's aura attack.
<Kit> 6Chii shakes the broken earthen fragments away. 1"Grr... I want to help more."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then get us in it's face.
<Dias`> <DiasComm> Oh I can't wait to beat the shit out of this one.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires a dragoon bustah sized gear blast at it.
<Kit> <Megumi> Myria, Dias!
<Kit> 6Chii growls and lunges forward toward Dark Madara thingy, angrily.
<Myria> *comm* I'm alright.
<DeathStar> 6* It impacts, hitting the shield.
<Kit> <Megumi> ATTACK!
* Dias` boosts back in, swinging his blade in.
* Myria zooms forms, cross-slashing with both blades!
<DeathStar> 6* The shield shatters, their blades cutting into it
<Xrilisher> *The turret buzzes as it charges for its next shot, coming to level itself at the dark madara during the insanity. he holds the charge at full power, releasing the blast as the sheild shatters
<DeathStar> 6* And so, Xrileshir shoots at Dias and Myria, too
<Dias`> <Comm> SHIT GET BACK!. 6Dias boosts downwards to try and get away from friendly fire.
* Marcus works to get above this gear, waiting to get a missile lock.
<Marcus> <Theron> Miss Myria!
* Myria pulls back rapidly, firing pulse beams as she retreats!
<Kit> 6Chii finishes a set of seals as they approach. 1"Futon..." 6She runs a current of sharp air across the whip. 1"Get 'em, Cherry."
<Myria> *comm* Someone shoot the idiot in that turret!
<DeathStar> 6* Dark Madara II is hit by the turret, and Cheryl comes in, taking slight damage herself, to whip into it.
<Xrilisher> <Comm> That would be me, madam Myria. My appologies.
<Kit> <Chii> Raiton..!" 6Leans them the other way after the whip impacts, shifting to slash across the dark gear with electrified claws.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II explodes.
<Dias`> 6Dias drifts backwards under the DMII
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well. Huh. That wasn't so hard.
<Dias`> <Comm> HEY KILL STEAL! KILL STEAL!
<Kit> 6Chii kicks the destroyed parts, trying to get them away before completely toast.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the sky fills with 50 Dark Madara IIs.
<Dias`> <Comm> Ah shit.
<Myria> *comm* I'm totally calling my lawyer.
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Pauses. 1"...Fuck."
<Xrilisher> <Comm> Dont look now- but here comes their cavalry.
<Marcus> * Theron pauses. "...we are quite outnumbered."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien winces.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Uh. ...Uh.....
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... ...
<Dias`> <Comm> You say outnumbered. I say a great time to shine.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl targets the closest one.
<Kit> 6Megumi throws her hands up, frantically. 1"Wild fire!?"
<Dias`> 6Dias breaks off after Cheryl
<Kit> 6Chii moves for it, grinding her teeth.
* Marcus shifts and blasts upward, trying to get a lock on one of the DM2.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's gear unleashes a barrage of attacks - at everyone
<Kit> <Megumi> ....Uh... That works!?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, NIC
<Dias`> 6Dias gear jerks from the hit.
<Myria> Wha?! *moves to dodge Zephyr's attacks*
<Marcus> * Theron barely evades being struck by Zephyr's attack.
<Kit> 6Chii pauses, unintentionally using Dias for a shield.
<Dias`> <comm> What the hell hit me?!
* Marcus on the otherhand, gets hit, losing his lock and losing control for a mmoment.
<DeathStar> 6* Dark Madaras II are knocked around
<Kit> <Megumi> Wow... D-Do you have a manual, Zephy...?
<Kit> <Megumi> Eheheh...!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> D-Do I have a manual?!
<Kit> <Megumi> <C> Sorry!!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to smack the pilot cockpit
<Kit> <Megumi> <C> Wahhh! Under attack!
<Dias`> <Comm> GREAT. I get shot by a over active cat.
* Myria spins back into attack position once Zephyr stop firing and then fires at the dark Madaras while they are still off balance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips out at a Dark Madara II
<Marcus> * Theron moves in for one of the DM2s firing at it with his rifle before coming in with a slice from his Katana.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara IIs take damage, but quickly recover.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flies at an enemy.
<Dias`> I think it's time I add my second weapon. 6The gear grabs the blade with both hands then slams it over it's knee repeatedly
* Marcus rights himself, sighing slightly. He moves to get a lock again.
<DeathStar> 6* As they're firing, a beam rises from the outpost planet they're fighting over, blowing up two ATLEAN ships
<DeathStar> <Darien> What the ---
<Dias`> 6Dias shatters the blade into two pieces then slams them onto the top if it's wrists, making bladed fists.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *peers over Dariens shoulder* "...they weren't kidding when they said it was a weapon."
<DeathStar> <Darien> This isn't even the homeworld!
<Kit> <Chii> Dias, what the fuck are you doing...?
<DeathStar> <Darien> What the hell do they ahve down there!
<Marcus> <Comm> I think it might be a good idea to focus on these gears in groups of two. Overpower them an move on.
<Dias`> <Chad> Apparently a planet defense weapon.
<Kit> <Chii> Overpower. Hahaha... says the one with the godgear...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tch. 6* He nods at everyone. "Get on the shuttle. We have to disable that before we lose our fleet."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien swings into the shuttle.
<Dias`> <Comm> Duh. I'm increasing my damage baby. 6He boosts around and past Cheryl now.
<Kit> 6Freyja nods and moves for the shuttle
<Marcus> <Comm> Me, godgear? Chii you're high.
* Sally gets back on the shuttle.
<Dias`> 6Chad nods and quickly steps onto the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl knocks a Dark MAdara II at Dias
<Kit> <Chii> ...I was talking about Myria and Madara, baka yarou.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Catch.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> "Yes, sir. *moves to board the shuttle*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps on.
<Marcus> * Drasek urks and jups up. "I'm awake, mate. I swear." He stumbles up onto the shuttle.
<Dias`> 6Dias swings one bladed fist in and for it's gut and his other one for it's head
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna heads for the shuttle. Em still glares at the lack of gear.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark MAdara II is stabbed, then explodes with deadly energy.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien powers up the shuttle.
<Myria> *comm* Theron, can you still read me?!
<Kit> 6Megumi increases their speed and begins to fly through a group of untargetted dark gears. 1"Alright, round two. Just... keep... moving."
<Dias`> 6Dias rocks back from the deadly energy. His eyes darting around for damage.
<DeathStar> 6* His gear seems to have outer hull damage.
<Marcus> <TheronComm> Yes, Miss Myria. *he parries an attack from a DM2, getting some distance from it*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II chases Theron
<Dias`> <Comm> Guys. Watch out for the gears when they explode.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr spins, firing a blast at one, getting it's attention. It flies at them.
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh, nice, Zephy!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis straps herself in as Darien begins to fly the shuttle out
<Marcus> <Comm> Good thing you found out and not me. *he releases 2 missiles for a DM2, then fires his rifle at it*
* Xrilisher continues firing into the swarm of DMIIs. Defending the battleship from any enemy units nearing the flying fortress.
<Myria> *comm* Incoming! *turns and goes after the one on Theron*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark MAdara II fires a dark blast at Marcus in response.
<Kit> <Megumi> W-Wait. He... He is chasing us!" 6She frantically dodges it and trails through groups of others. Sadly, she's flying better in that state.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wishes she had eyelids.
* Marcus attempts to roll out of the way letting out a hoot. "This is ridiculous."
<Dias`> <Comm> Zeph. Bring it towards me.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien zooms out of the hanger
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Toward Dias, Megumi.
<Dias`> 6Dias adjusts his cours, heading right for Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II swings it's blade at Marcus' leg.
<DeathStar> 6* A Dark Madara II grabs Cheryl in a bearhug, and begins to beep like it's going to explode
<Kit> 6Megumi tilts them up-- good thing there's no gravity or she'd probably faint from g force. Then flies upside-down for Dias.
* Marcus jerks to try and let the blade impact against his shield.
* Myria fires at the Dark Madara that is pursuing Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara is hit by Myria, turning to face her
<Marcus> * Theron shifts in his flight, firing at the DM2 that Myria attacked, firing his rifle towards it's back.
<Kit> 6Chii grunts. 1"I'm up." 6She slams both of their elbows back into the gear to get some wiggle room.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark MAdara II is damaged by Theron, spinning
* Xrilisher angles the turret at Cheryl's DMII, firing a lesser charges blast attempting to disable it's arms
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses their head to headbutt it
<Myria> *comm* Theron, keep working with me. *move sin to slash at the spining DMII*
<Dias`> 6Dias flies right over Zephyr, getting very close. He swings his fist blade as he passes by the one following, aiming to cut it's head off
<Marcus> <TheronComm> Very well. You lead, I follow.
* Sally straps herself in as Darien flies. Readying a rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the blasts coming in, then twists, putting the Dark Madara II's back to it, trying to get cushion
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II is slashed.
<Kit> 6Chii twists them like she'd move herself, kicking at the dark gear with both feet toward the blasts, getting distance so they're not harmed.
<Myria> *comm* Move in! *fires pulse beams into it point blank*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II is hit by Xril's blasts, exploding
* Marcus fires a missile towards the gear he is parrying with his shield, blasting back from it to get some distance from the explosion.
<Kit> <Megumi> Wait, I have an idea. Zephy, piss some more off!
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II fires a dark matter at Marcus
<Kit> 6Megumi veers around toward another cluster of enemies, flying through them at breakneck.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' cuts into DM2's head
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then begins to fire wildly.
<Marcus> OH SHIT! *he twists, putting his back to the dark matter and blasts off, trying to get some distance from it.*
<Marcus> * Theron raises his rifle and releases a charged shot towards the DM2 they've been fighting, aiming to take it out completely.
<Dias`> 6Dias swings around, flying backwards from the same DMII and fires his turrets into it
<Kit> 6Megumi begins multitargetting as they pass through them, once they have some rounded up, heads back toward their ship. 1"Hey, someone on the ship, hit... this." 6She transmits coordinates to one of the gears following them.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You seriously want the ship to fire at us.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias blowsi t up
<Kit> <Megumi> Heh heh! Worry not, you are quite dodgy.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> AT US.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron blows it up
<Dias`> 6Dias twists and blasts off towards Marcus now
<Myria> *comm* Good shot!
<Kit> <Megumi> Well, initially, but I sent a lock from one behind us, not actually us. Just wait for it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Lordy.
<Marcus> <Comm> Wrong way! Wrong way! *He says to Dias, since he's running from a Dark matter blast.
<DeathStar> 6* Xrileshir would get a lock coordinate from Zephyr.
<Xrilisher> Hmmm... Interesting. *The turret swivels on the coordinate, charging for its next blast as he studies the location
<Kit> <Megumi> I wish they would hurry, though...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> They'll be firing at us. 6* She repeats.
<Dias`> 6Dias comes flying under Marcus and his prey in an arc
<DeathStar> 6* The dark matter chases Marcus
<Kit> 6Megumi laughs-- though Zephyr might hear nervousness. 1"T-Trust me..?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alright.
<Dias`> <Comm> Marcus, if you can't lose it, use it.
* Xrilisher fires the blast into Zephyr's coordinates
<Marcus> <Comm> Oh gee, thanks for the help. *he aims towards another DM2 gear.*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Here. It. Comes.
<Marcus> * Theron shifts to Myria. "Your next target. My lady."
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes, sensitive to it, spot the beginning of light forming, and immediately arcs upward, spinning. 1"Release lock. Fire!" 6Her intent, the first gets hit and explodes, damaging the rest, their shots to finish.
<Myria> *comm* Keep up. *zooms after the next target*
<DeathStar> 6* Xril's shot begins to hit, and Zephyr unleashes a barrage. Though it's clear she's running low on energy
<DeathStar> 6* The DM2 flies at Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, the one that fired the dark matter, floats confidentally.
<Kit> 6Megumi backs off from the effect of the dual strike. 1"Time to recover. Shall we retreat?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh...huh...yes.
* Marcus widens his eyes. "Oh that's not go-" He pauses and then gets a wide smile. "USE IT! I get it." He pulls out his blades, as if he's going to hand to hand fight this DM2. Or at least make it believe that.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes them for a pusuit, then continues toward the ship, getting within a safe zone of its weaponry, near the hangar. 1"Alright. Good job, Zephy."
<DeathStar> 6* The DM2 prepares to battle Marcus in honorable sword combat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smashes another DM2 with her whip, only to have five more appear behind her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck.
<Marcus> * Theron pulls up his rifle and blasts off after Myria, ready to attack whomever she chooses.
<Dias`> 6Dias finishes his arc and comes in from behind the DM2. He hits his boosters to increase his speed, his fist blade swinging out to cleave it's head as he passes by
<Kit> 6Chii turns and holds out the clawed hand for one near the center. 1"Katon!"
<DeathStar> 6* Dias cleaves another head
<Kit> 6Chii immediately begins an escape after bursting the fire. 1"..."
<Marcus> Oh look somethinh shiny! *he blasts down suddenly, hoping his Dark Matter friend will continue towards the DM2 he was about to face*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara IIs are hit by fire, then look at each other, then at Cheryl/Chii
<DeathStar> 6* DM2 looks down, then looks up as it's head by a dark matter, being torn apart.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies through the cloudy atmopshere, with Chad as his co-pilot. Chad could see the sensors showing a large energy build up from below.
* Dias` is now known as Chad`Winters
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...they don't skimp on weapons of doom, do they?"
<Chad`Winters> They're charging up again.
<Kit> <Freyja> Certainly well-prepared. Do they have an informant?
* Sally checks over her rifle. "They love big guns more then me. I feel outperformed."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* As they emerge from the atmosphere, they can see a large canon base on the ground. It looks like their weapons will do nothing to it's outer hull
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Is it a Tsiv or a Dakr One weapon?
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be Tsivrixsh
<Marcus> <Drasek> Doesn't matter as long as we kill the bloody thing.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Damn. Our weapons won't do anything. I need to boost them. Someone take the controls.
<Chad`Winters> Got it. 6He grabs the controls, shifting over
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Boost them?" 6She eyes Darien curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over to a panel, ripping it off. He begins to adjust the energy output from other systems.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. I wish Angela was here, but we'll have to make do with me.
<Kit> <Freyja> Have they noticed us yet?
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad probably dies a little inside.
<Chad`Winters> Yes.
<Sally> "Mmm... yah."
<DeathStar> 6* The big cannon continues to charge. Chad might notice, on the far right side, an opening just barely big enough for a shuttle to go inside the super structure
<Chad`Winters> We'll probably get one attack before they find us a threat.
<Chad`Winters> I found us a way in. 6He brings the shuttle towards the opening
<DeathStar> <Darien> Can you seriously fly well enough to in that?
<Chad`Winters> I hope this things up to date.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Go for the soft underbelly then.
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Cassandra strangely.
<Chad`Winters> Do you see anybody better than me?
<Marcus> * Drasek sits forward. "You think you can do something that fancy, mate?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks around, panicked. "Who's a pilot?"
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles widely. 1"Not I!"
<Sally> "Not me, I shoot things."
<Marcus> <Drasek> I'll do it. * he gives a shrug *
<DeathStar> <Darien> Chad, it's yours.
<Kit> <Freyja> Ouch.
<Marcus> <DraseK> Smart, i've never flown a day in my life.
<Chad`Winters> Thanks for the confidence. 6He states, saddened
<Kit> <Freyja> Chad Winters, I think he's stating you're the best here.
* Sally grins at Drasek.
<Chad`Winters> No one asked you.
<Marcus> <Drasek> Well there was that-Oh forget it, that's just a boring story.
<Kit> 6Freyja giggles. 1"Don't get bitter because it's not much of a compliment."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien continues to work. "I'm taking power from life support and shields. Don't hit anything in there."
<Sally> "Oh no, do tell."
<DeathStar> 6* They begin their approach toward the opening
<Chad`Winters> Thanks for the tip. Got anymore?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Shoot what looks important.
<Sally> "I got one, don't kill us."
<Marcus> * Drasek just waves a hand, leaning forward more to watch Chad do this.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna straps herself in... not going to be a smooth ride.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad can now enter.
* Chad`Winters obviously does so
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE YOURSELF
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *straps herself in as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left

<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to skid across the wall sharply as they enter a core room, which is crackling with energy.
<Kit> <Freyja> That looks important.
<Chad`Winters> Is it ready?
<Marcus> * Drasek coughs. "I think I woulda went right instead of left that go around. Nice work, mate. Sorta."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Do it.
* Chad`Winters fires the weapons into it
<DeathStar> 6* The core is hit and begins to overload; which causes an explosion backlash. Sadly, the only way out is back the way they came.
* Chad`Winters tries to bring the shuttle around to come back out
<DeathStar> 6* Darien zaps his hand and falls back, howling
<Kit> 6Freyja moves over and secures Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE YOURSELF
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Right, Left, Left, Up, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, LEft, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right

<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to smash on objects, causing things to explode, then the explosion hits the shuttle, sending it flipping out wildly
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grips her seat.
<Kit> <Freyja> Erevis. Can you... right our... orientation?
<Marcus> <Drasek> Oh bugger. *he's thrown about*
<Kit> 6Freyja holds onto Darien, but holds out a hand shakily toward Erevis, to try and reinforce her.
* Sally holds onto the seat, already strapped in. "WHEEEEE!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, trying to grip the shuttle. She strains, and her hair color whitens a bit in some spots. However, the shuttle rights itself seconds before a crash into the ground
<Kit> <Freyja> Thank you.
<Kit> 6Freyja groans, holding her head, then eyes Darien. 1"Are you hurt?"
<Marcus> * Drasek lays there. "Right...ask the git who didn't flop about like a tuna."
* Chad`Winters rubs his head. 1"Maybe I shouldn't have flown.
<DeathStar> 6* The entire complex begins to explode behind them, which means this entire area of the planet is about to become unsafe.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his hand. "Yeah."
<Kit> <Freyja> I ask this git because he knows our infrastructure better than anyone else-- and with the damage we took, he is necessary.
* Chad`Winters checks the systems to see if the shuttle can even fly.
<Kit> 6Freyja studies Darien's hand.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Just get us out of here!
<DeathStar> 6* Barely. Erevis will probably need to help keep them situated
<Sally> "Tat was fun actually... can we do it again?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's hand seems to be scalded to the bone
<Marcus> * Drasek snorts and stands. "Wrap it up in tape, mate. It'll be fine."
* Chad`Winters tries to fly them into space. 1"Erevis, I'm gonna need you to keep us steady."
* Xrilisher has quit IRC (Quit: Client Exited)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, aiding them.
<Kit> 6Freyja winces, then remains kneeling by him, reaching to take his wrist, focusing her energies
<Kit> <Freyja> Don't be so modest, Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hah. I'm just glad I can't feel pain hardly anymore thanks to brain damage.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his own hand, making a face.
<Kit> <Freyja> Mm..." 6Closes her eyes, focusing on what's necessary to rebuilt it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans his head back. It seems this still hurts, so he's not immune from it.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Space
* Xrilisher has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrisxh fleet around the outpost is in ruins. Only a single Dark Madara II remains. It tries to escape
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Take it down. 6He flies after it
<Kit> 6Chii twists around and aims for it, using the mounted gun.
* Marcus blasts off for the right-ish side of it, firing towards it with his rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II zigs and zags panickedly.
* Myria goes after the remaining Dark Madara.
<Kit> 6Chii begins a retreat to the hangar
<Marcus> * Theron also zooms off for it, trying to determine a pattern to the random zig zagging.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias heads straight for it, ignoring the zig-zag.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're letting it go?!
<Kit> <Chii> They got it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *growls*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II hides behind some debris
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl, I've been relying on you way too much. This is only the beginning.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls 180 and flies under the debris
<Kit> 6Chii pauses. 1"... ... Heh. Heheh..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... what?
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II peeks around the debris
<Kit> 6Chii whirls them around and heads for the others and the last, giggling, moving quickly.
<Marcus> * Theron fires for the DM2 once it reveals itself.
* Myria circles around the debris, then snipes at th DMII as it peeks.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings it's blade upwards to cut off it's leg
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Madara II explodes from the gang bang. Darien's shuttle lands back onto the main ship
<Kit> 6Chii eyes the explosion, stopping again. 1"... Damn."
<DeathStar> <PAladin on Comm> All Gears, return to the hanger, but remain in your Gears. We're going to jump to the Tsivrixsh homeworld.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flies around and heads for the hanger
* Marcus lets out a breath. <Comm> "Holy hell I need a nap." He shifts and moves back towards the hanger.
<Myria> *comm* And we're clear. Returning to hangar. *heads back*
* Chad`Winters steps down from the ramp.
<Kit> 6Chii reluctantly turns and heads for the hangar again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans his head back, letting Freyja take care of him.
<Marcus> * Theron moves off back towards the Hanger.
<Kit> 6Megumi glances upward from the hangar. 1"Should we reform afterwards, Zephyr?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We should stay in Gear form. Converse energy.
* Chad`Winters eyes the shuttle, making a face.
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh... I thought we would use less if we were not actually bonded.
* Sally gets out and stands by CHad, looking at the shuttle. "Oh shit you scratched it up good."
* Chad`Winters grunts in response.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Actualling transforming takes some out of an ALpha.
<Kit> <Megumi> ... ... Noted.
* Xrilisher sits back in his seat, taking a deep breath. " First wave has been nuetralized. Now we descend into the maw.. "
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Chad, then the shuttle. "You did as well as you could with your level of experience."
* Chad`Winters slowly looks at Erevis, blinking
<Marcus> * Drasek snorts. "Oh nice burn, Revi. She's saying you suck, mate."
<Kit> <Freyja> That's her way of saying 'Good job for a newbie.'
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Marcus lands in the hanger, shifting over to his spot.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels once they land
<Sally> "Oh so he's a rookie eh?"
* Chad`Winters snorts and looks at the incoming gears.
* Myria brings Madara II back into the hangar and moves back to her gear berth.
<Marcus> * Theron also lands and moves back to his spot.
<Kit> <Freyja> Only at psycho-piloting. As a marksman he's a sure ace.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his datapad. "Well, we lost a fifth of the fleet. Shit."
<Marcus> <Comm> Hey Paladin, you think we'll have enough time to restock some of my missiles?
<DeathStar> 6* Pope offers Em a cardboard box with wings on it, claiming it will work
<Kit> 6Freyja jerks. 1"Twenty percent casualties!?"
* Sally looks Chad in evaluation now. "Mmm, I'll have to see that."
<DeathStar> <Paladin on Comm> We don't. We're going in now.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes sliding in, and turns around. <COmm> So Zephyr. Wanna make out in our gears?"
<DeathStar> 6* The fleet begins to jump, using hyperspace, since the distance isn't that far.
* Sally looks over at Darien. "Did we do poorly? I thought we were expecting casualties."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Gross.
<Kit> <Megumi> Wh-What did he say!?
<DeathStar> <Darien> It means we only got 80% of our fighting force for their main force.
<Kit> <Freyja> It means twenty percent of our lives were lost." 6She mumbles bitterly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias laughs over the comm. 1"Ace pilots here baby."
<DeathStar> 6* Their ship leaps into hyperspace
<Chad`Winters> It happens. 6He says with a neutral tone.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lowers her head, saying a prayer of sorts of the dead
<Kit> 6Freyja glances toward Erevis.
* Marcus lets out a sigh and then clicks his comm. "Don't worry, with my luck and Dias super uh willing powers. We'll be fine."
<Chad`Winters> <DiasComm> I thought it was being too stupid to die.
<Kit> <Megumi> I... I think they are discounting us, Zephy.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh. Chopped liver.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's a boys club.
<Marcus> <Comm> Yeah that works too.
<Marcus> * Theron closes his eyes, taking this moment to rest before the next assault.
<DeathStar> 6* Their ships exit hyperspace. Before them is a black planet, radiating energy unlike anything they've felt - even compared to the Dark Homeworld and the Soul PLanet. And before them is 35 Dark Hybrid Ships, and 50 planetary defense turrets
<Chad`Winters> <DiasComm> Don't worry Zephyr. As flast as Megumi is, I'll consider her a boy.
<Kit> <Megumi> I HATE YOU!
<Myria> *comm* ...what did the Tsiv let them do?
<DeathStar> <Paladin on Comm> LAUNCH!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias launches out of the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav stands at a viewport, in the hanger, looking at her homeworld. Scar stands nearby, arms crossed.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Typical.
<Marcus> * Theron snaps his eyes open and blasts out of the hanger.
* Myria turns and launches from the hangar.
* Marcus hoots and hits his boosters, zooming out of the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns and flies them out
<Marcus> <Comm> Holy fuck that's a whole heapin lot of enemies.
* Xrilisher heads back down to the hangar, having left the disoriented crewmen in his turret seat after slapping him around a bit to wake him up.
<Chad`Winters> <DiasComm> Wuss.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Hyrbids begin to smash their tendrils into Cartel, Erusian, ATLEAN, and Earth ships
<Marcus> <Comm> Oh screw you. *He winces at the assault.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin on Comm. "We need you to take out the defense turrets, so you can fly the shuttle close enough to the planet.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Clear about 15-20 of them.
<Chad`Winters> <DiasComm> On it.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias`
* Dias` makes a bee line for a defense turret
<Marcus> <Comm> We have enough power to take them down seperately or should we work as a full team? *he blasts off after Dias*
<DeathStar> 6* The turret fires wildly at Dias, sending blasts coming at Dias
<Marcus> * Theron shifts and moves after the two.
<DeathStar> <Paladin on Comm> Take them out separately, or you'll be at it forever.
<Marcus> <Comm> Right, good point.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flies at a defense turret. Cheryl moves them out
* Myria moves for a turret.
* Marcus does his best to avoid getting blasted out of the sky by one of the turrets.
<Dias`> 6Dias rolls around to keep from getting blasted
<DeathStar> 6* The turrets fire away at Marcus. Marcus and Dias, prepare yourselves.

<DeathStar> 6* As they are heading back, a tendril from an enemy ship tears into their ship's bridge.

<Dias`> 6Chad looks around, his eyes flashing. 1"Shit."
<Marcus> * Drasek pauses. "You could say that again, luv."
* Sally sits on the shuttle ramp quietly. "What... we got hit bad it seems."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We lost the bridge. .... Paladin....
<Kit> 6Megumi moves up toward and slashes at it with the emerald zanbato... dagger.
* Xrilisher braces himself, grunting " What makes you say that? " he asks Sally
<Dias`> 6Chad reaches up, tapping his comm. 1"Paladin."
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Darrien suddenly. 1"Shush."
<DeathStar> 6* Static on Chad's end
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi could saw at the huge tendril, but it'll take time. Best to get in the hanger.
<Dias`> <Chad> It's hard to tell. 6He looks at DArien
<Sally> "The shaking."
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... 6* He moves for the shuttle
<Marcus> *Theron lands in the hanger and jumps out of his gear, moving towards the shuttle.
<Xrilisher> I didnt notice. *He ascends the ramp into the shuttle.
<Kit> 6Megumi settles for backing over after the initial attack and slashing-- forming a wave with her own focus, then retreats quickly.
<Dias`> 6Chad moves for the new shuttle. SPoC steps onto it
<Marcus> <Comm> Dude did you see that? Our bridge got fucked.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands them, transforming and landing, dressed still
<Marcus> * Drasek moves onto the shuttle.
<Dias`> 6Dias slides in, his cock pit opening up.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl, narrowing.

<DeathStar> 6* The ship begins to shudder as parts explode
<DeathStar> 6* Scar grabs Shretrav, hauling her add into the shuttle.

<DeathStar> 6* Pope freaks out and leaps into his cardboard box.
* Marcus runs and leaps onto the shuttle.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *already strapped into a seat in the shuttle*
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna goes to make sure Billy gets on the shuttle, instead of the exploding ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy comes swinging in, dressed like a ninja. She gets in the shuttle.
<Kit> 6Megumi catches Zephyr rather than letting her slow-mo dramatic fall and runs for the shuttle.
<Ariel> Em> "...Pope?"
<DeathStar> <Pope> I will be safe!
* Sally eyes Billy. "Setsuna dressing you now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reaches into Megumi's outfit, grabbing her trench coat, and sliding it on
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... Does Scar dress you?
<Dias`> 6Chad looks over at Zephyr. 1"Let's go you two."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets on the shuttle
<Sally> "Only when I ask him to."
<Ariel> Em> "...an escape pod would be better than a box, but they're not mutually exclusive!" *runs for the shuttle*
<DeathStar> 6* Scar climbs in with Shretrav, who glares at him for touching her
<Dias`> 6Dias quickly moves onto the shuttle.
<Kit> 6Chii steps onto the shuttle, hopping into her undergarments and dragging her outfit with her.
* Sally grins up at Scar.
* Marcus lays on the shuttle breathing heavily. "God..."
<Dias`> <Dias> THAT! WAS A BLAST!
<Kit> 6Freyja shifts her gaze, daggers upon Dias.
<Marcus> * Theron sits down and nods. "You did excellent work, Mr. Dias."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope scoots over in his cardboard box, setting up the Gears to get themselves to safety, so they aren't destoryed
* Myria lets out a breath,
<Dias`> <Dias> Who's flying? ME?!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien begins to puill out the shuttle, as Katrina comes running up, a bit bloody on the side of her face, but dressed for combat.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not today.
<Dias`> <Dias> UH! MY PILOT EGO!
* Dias` stands on the ramp, holding his hand out for Kat to pull her in.
* Marcus arches a brow and sits up quickly. "Kat!"
<Dias`> NRP: Chad
<Kit> <Freyja> Katrina...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs Chad's hand.
<Kit> 6Freyja rises, moving toward those helping Kat aboard.
* Dias` is now known as Chad`Winters
* Chad`Winters quickly pulls Kat in
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I couldn't reach Paladin. I tried.
<Chad`Winters> He'll be fine.
<Kit> 6Chii finishes pulling her ceremonial outfit on. 1"Damn it, Cheryl."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flicks the switch to close the ramp, turning and moving them out
* Marcus lets out a breath, moving over towards them. "Oh thank god."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Chad, leaning back against the wall
* Chad`Winters looks at Marcus. 1"You totally forgot about her. Didn't you?"
<Marcus> Yeah right. *he moves over to sit down beside her*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions for Dias to take co-pilot
<DeathStar> <Billy> He did.
* Xrilisher double checks his weaponry, giving the pistol he stole from the crewman a look over in his seat " Wheres the drop point? " he asks towards the cockpit
<Kit> <Freyja> Katrina. Let me see.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias squeels with joy and hops into the co-pilots seat
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Freyja, then leans forward for her.
<Kit> 6Freyja brushes back some of her hair, examining with a sigh.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies them out as their ship explodes behind them. The officer in the turret dies, cursing Xrileshir's name
* Chad`Winters looks over at Darien. 1"Darien, you're taking the Rune Blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Chad. "Okay."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr buttons up her trench coat, since she's nude under it
<Marcus> Rune blade? I thought that was destroyed?
<Chad`Winters> You'll have the Holy, Darkness, Ice and Water rune in it.
<Kit> <Megumi> Darien retrieved it.
<Ariel> Em> "Yeah, well... don't count on this universe to make sense."
<Marcus> I-uh. That's cool.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies through the battlefield, aiming to avoid friendly and enemy fire.
<Chad`Winters> Marcus, Dias and Zephyr. You three decide who'll get the Earth rune.
* Marcus puts a hand on Kat's shoulder, then glances at Freyja. "Can you fix her, doc?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dias can have it
* Chad`Winters looks over at Cheryl. 1"Lightning rune. Yes or no?
* Marcus glances up. "Don't look at me."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Freyja a weak smile
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What? I'm already super powered as it is. Zephyr you should take it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Marcus can have it
<Marcus> Pass. I don't want it.
<Chad`Winters> Alright. 6He nods to her.
<Kit> 6Freyja nods to Marcus, gently stroking Katrina as she focuses.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I don't want it! I use too much energy as it is!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fine. I'll take it.
* Marcus smiles at Freyja, glad she's helping Kat.
<Sally> "So what do these things do?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Many things.
<Chad`Winters> Gives you super powers. 6He says blandly. Obviously making adjustments in his head
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans a bit into Freyja's stroking, looking relaxed.
<Marcus> Oh, it caused me to turn into a Rid. It was uh, neat.
<Kit> <Chii> ..Wh-what!? Where have we been hiding them!?
<Sally> "Hmmm... how do they work exactly/"
<Chad`Winters> You're not getting one. 6He eyes Chii.
<Chad`Winters> I don't have time to explain.
<Kit> 6Freyja gazes toward the rune blade quietly.
<Kit> <Chii> WHAT?!
* X1 has joined #taw
<Kit> 6Chii growls, pointing at Chad. 1"You discriminating jerk!"
* Marcus slowly glances over at Kat, then just looks ahead.
<Chad`Winters> You're darkness. Nobody get's that rune.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's right, Chii. Dark Runes kill the user.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Huh? How do you know?
* Chad`Winters grunts.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We saw it happen.
<Sally> "What element would I be?" *she raises a brow, starting to clue in*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there silently, beside MEgumi
<Chad`Winters> I didn't have time to scan you.
<Kit> <Chii> How do you know I'm not different? I steal life force, after all. Hrmph.
<Kit> 6Chii looks away, crossing her arms, a bit culled.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flips the shuttle to avoid enemy fire, cursing
<Sally> "How about we guess?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi Zhenmei. 6* She leans a bit on her, offering her a flower.
<Chad`Winters> I'm not going to waste time argueing. Freyjas Holy undoubtedly but we don't need to double her lay of hands technique.
<Ariel> Em> "Not wasting time with trial and error either."
<Kit> 6Megumi glances up at Erevis, snapped out a daze. 1"Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A flower. 6* It's a white rose.
<Kit> <Freyja> Heheh... Is that all I do...?
* Xrilisher puts the pistol away, checking the scope on his rifle as the shuttle manuvers rapidly. He seems focused now only on the oncomming battle
<Sally> "Who put the quiet one in charge?"
<Chad`Winters> I'd rather you save your energy on healing the wounded.
<Kit> <Freyja> Fancy you caring what I do.
<Marcus> Listen to Chad. He's a rune expert.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien suddenly comes to a complete stop.
* Xrilisher jerks forward " What the hell? "\
* Chad`Winters unhooks the Rune Blade and pulls the Earth rune off, tossing it to Dias who slips it on. He slides the Fire rune onto himself.
<DeathStar> 6* The entire planet begins to glow, and beams of black energy fly upward from it, hitting ships
<DeathStar> <Darien> Holy shit.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spins the shuttle to the left.
<Marcus> * Drasek lets out a whistle. "Bloody hell, mate. That's a serious big boy toy."
<Myria> The Dark Ones are acting!
<Ariel> Em> *gapes as the black beam goes past the shuttle*
* Sally grips her seat. "DAMNIT!"
<Xrilisher> Why did you stop!?
* Chad`Winters slips the Wind Rune off and eyes Setsuna. 1"You gonna be focused enough to use it properly?
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien glances at the readings of their fleet. It's dropping rapidly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know how to approach the goddamn planet, you idiot!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> STRAIGHT AHEAD! 6He points
<Kit> <Freyja> Give me the rune, then.
<DeathStar> <Darien> INTO THE BLASTS?
<Chad`Winters> Doesn't work that way.
* Marcus jerks to hold down Freya and Kat so that don't go flopping about when they dodge.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans into Marcus
<Kit> <Freyja> Heheh. Suit yourself, then.
<Sally> "Yous said Cheryl was lightning?"
<Xrilisher> AROUND the blasts!
<DeathStar> <Darien> The entire planet is firing at us!
<Kit> <Freyja> I can't heal anyone if we're vaped.
<Marcus> Last I checked, it uses your own energy Freyja. So since you already have the power it would be pointless, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then eyes Dias.
<Chad`Winters> She refused it. 6He grabs Sets' hand and presses the rune onto her hand.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Got a plan. Get ready to take control
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yes? 6He looks at her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> SWEET!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs the controls
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hits the Light Engine
<Sally> "Mmm..." *she eyes Cheryl* "Lemme give it a try."
<DeathStar> 6* They all are knocked out but Dias again. They reappear, falling toward the planet.
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles at Marcus. 1"There are other ways to manipulate power. Light is the most deceiving of all."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs the controls and tries to regain control
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans forward, unconscious
* Chad`Winters and SPoC both lay slumped over.
* Marcus slumps, holding Kat and Freyka like teddy bears.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle spins closer to an energy field around the planet. They'll need to get through it somehow. Dias gets control
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Uh...Uh...6He reaches over and smacks DS
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans
<Kit> 6Megumi dozes on Zephyr.
* Sally is sitting back, having beens ecured in her seat, head lolled back.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Energy field!
<Marcus> * Theron's head is on Myria's shoulder. Awww.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens his eyes. "Light..engine...again..."
* Sally slowly blinks and rubs her face. "That's gotta have some sorta long term effect on you."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the light engine button again.
<DeathStar> 6* Sally is still unconscious
<Ariel> 6* Em is starting to hate the light engine.
* Sally doesn't speak then.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship jerks again. This time, Dias does black out. When he awakens, they're falling, with no power, toward the capital.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans and shakes his head, grabbing the controls weakly.
<DeathStar> 6* The controls are dead.
<Marcus> * Drasek is on the floor, snoozing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks back and than smacks Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesnt' wake this time.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Lost power. 6He tries to reboot the system.
<DeathStar> 6* The system seems fried from using the light engine so many times at once.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tries to activate the emergency falling system
<DeathStar> 6* It fails.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh you son of a bitch. 6He hits it again
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* They're about 20 seconds from impact.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias punches the controls
<DeathStar> 6* The controls are punched, and crack in two
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snaps his fingers and throws his hands forward, trying to bring the earth up in a slope to catch them
<DeathStar> 6* Strangely, Dias' corruption level interferes with the rune usage. However, the slope begins to rise, belatedly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls, as he continues to will himself into saving the others
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> COME ON!!
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle slams into the slope, skidding wildly as it slides along the capital building, smashing into buildings as it goes ping pong. As it spins through the black city, and black streets, they begin to speed toward a huge building
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tries forming speed bumps to slow them down.
<DeathStar> 6* Xrileshir would awaken first, as would Theron
<DeathStar> 6* The rune doesn't respond yet - the corruption level interfering
<Marcus> * Theron slowly opens his eyes and peers about. "...this will be a most unpleasant crash."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If you're awake. Grab someone who isn't.
<DeathStar> 6* Crash in 5.
<DeathStar> 6* 4.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias braces himself
<DeathStar> 6* 3.
<DeathStar> 6* 2.
<DeathStar> 6* 1.
<Marcus> * Theron frowns. "I believe this will wake the-" He braces.
* Xrilisher throws himself over Sally, the nearest person to sheild her by Dias's command
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle smashes into the building, the front half being totally crunched up, smashing Dias and Darien with lots of metal and debris
<DeathStar> 6* The jolt would awaken the others.
<Myria> Owwww!
* Chad`Winters grabs his head
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...ohhh...I felt that one.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks down at his bleeding chest, then drops his head back. Dias is in just as bad shape
* Marcus jerks awake and pauses to look down, he coughs and lets go of Kat and Freyja.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lays there slumped.
* Sally groans and looks up face to face with a Tsiv. "How drunk was I?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stirs, then gently picks up MEgum into her lamp
<Kit> 6Freyja jostles and sighs.
<Xrilisher> .... Very.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar sits up, as does Shretrav.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits up. "Whoa...DIAS"
<Sally> "Was it at least fun?"
* Marcus sits up and stares. "Freyja. Fuck. Get on that healing now."
<Kit> 6Chii groans, then curses. 1"God. Damn. It."
<Myria> They're badly wounded!
<Marcus> * Drasek slowly lifts himself up. "...bloody hell."
* Xrilisher groans, lifting himself up. he looks towards the cockpit " Wonderful. " he makes his way to the cockpit, pushing any debris aside to uncover the pilots
<DeathStar> 6* Dias could depend on others for healing, or use his corruption points to heal.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands up finally, her hand covering her face
<DeathStar> <Darien> Heh... 6* He coughs up blood
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias's body shall wait to see what the others do.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *rubs her head* "...are we crashing again...?"
<Kit> 6Freyja strains and gets up, shaking her head and moving to those pilot people. 1"Oh Freyja, are you okay? Please help." 6Mumble.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands, rushing to Dias. "Dias?!"
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Dias and Darien
* Marcus checks on Kat, before he would get up and moves over to the two.
* Chad`Winters rises up and grabs the rune blade, moving towards Darien. He grabs his shoulder and uses the holy rune to heal him
<Marcus> * Theron peers at Chad. "Perhaps I should do that, so you can conserve your energy for your own rune."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rises slowly.
* Xrilisher pulls Darien out of the debris, laying him flat across the floor for Chad to attend to, attending to Dias next
* Chad`Winters looks at Theron and nods, handimg him the rune blade
<DeathStar> 6* The sword begins to heal Darien, but it uses all the runes in it, too
<Marcus> * Theron bows his head and then moves to heal Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Same thing with Theron
* Chad`Winters in that case, pulls out all the other runes cept the holy and darkness
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Chad, then begins healing Dias, sighing again.
<DeathStar> 6* The sword now heals at a low, low rate.
* Marcus pauses to let Chad do his thing. "Hmmm. Perhaps it is worth it to use all of their energy."
<Marcus> NRP: Theron*
* Sally gets up and grumbles softly, cursing under her breath as she looks at the injured.
<Chad`Winters> Apparently. 6He slips them back in
<Ariel> Em> *pulls herself up, coughing*
<Marcus> * Theron nods and resumes, it's a learning progress obviously.
* Marcus checks Kat over. "You alright?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm okay.
<DeathStar> 6* The healing speeds up again.
* Xrilisher stands " Everyone up. Get your weapons ready. The empire will be sending a welcoming party any moment. " he says, moving to recover his rifle
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves over to the ramp and hit sthe emergency release.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav dusts herself off.
<Kit> <Chii> I'll deal with it, then.
* Marcus nods and glances up at Freyja. "How bad is he?"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *stands up, readying her assault rifle.
<Kit> 6Chii checks both guns and then moves for the ramp.
* Sally pulls out her cannon and starts to charge it. "Now the fun part begins..."
* Myria taps on the computer interface built into her outfit and reconfigures it into a hardsuit.
<Kit> <Freyja> ... I'm really not sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is half-healed, and Dias as well. MEanwhile, tendrils begin to rip out of the streets, the size of buses, and begin to zoom toward the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tears her eyes off Dias finally, eyeing the outside
<Chad`Winters> It is adviseable that we move.
<Kit> <Chii> Time to move.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets up slowly, checking on her weapons
<Sally> "Carry the wounded."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Too late, here they come!
* Xrilisher stands on the side of the ramp, peering out the window neer it, checking the rooftops and streets for approaching troops. checking the windows and other places where approaching Tsiv might be found
* Sally starts to move out of the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises, lifting up MEgumi. Zephyr climbs to her feet.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC loads a grenade and fires at an incoming tendril
<Kit> 6Chii meanwhile unloads on the tendrils with live rounds.
<Chad`Winters> We need to move them now.
* Marcus moves to help Kat up. "Let's get out of here." He moves to get Kat out of the shuttle.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *climbs out of the shuttle, as does Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendril is slowed, but not stopped
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina uses Marcus' help, getting out of the shuttle
<Marcus> * Theron peers. "Help me Chad." He moves to help Darien out of the shuttle.
* Sally blasts at in incoming tendril as well.
* Chad`Winters grabs Darien and helps theron
<Kit> 6Chii alternates hands and guns reloading, moving forward toward the tendril. 1"Tch. Move already!"
* Xrilisher fires out of the shuttle, aiding the suppressing fire
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna grabs Billy and heads after Cass
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Cheryl leap out of the shuttle, and Erevis carries Megumi away from it
* Xrilisher leaps out, strafing after the group
<Marcus> * Drasek hops up and grabs Dias. "Come'on then." He drags him out.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Weeee
<Ariel> 6* Em shakes her head clear, notices they're under attack, and scrambles for cover best she can
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC quickly moves after the others.
* Sally moves after the others after firing another blast.
<Kit> 6Freyja moves out out of the shuttle, grabbing Em before appearing outside between Xril and Sally, oppointing them best living shields.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils are about to hit the shutltle, and Xril
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *moves with Setsuna and Billy.
* Myria sticks close to Theron.
<Kit> 6Chii holsters one gun, slipping a blade out and activating the energy along it, dragging it as she runs beside the passing first tendril
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils smash into the shuttle, sending the shuttle and ground flipping out, and falling toward Xril, and those closest to the shuttle
* Xrilisher dives forward, attempting to dodge the oncomming tendril as he roles under it, not missing a beat as he leaps up, continuing after the others
* Chad`Winters glances back and mvoes faster with Theron and Darien
<Kit> 6Freyja gazes back, then relocates them again near Zephyr and Erevis.
<Marcus> * Theron quickens his pace.
* Sally dives out of the way and runs.
<DeathStar> 6* As the shuttle and ground smashes into the ground, the tendrils go back underground, and all goes quiet.
<Marcus> * Drasek arches a brow and lifts up Dias fully, jumping away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up. Panting.
<Sally> "I don't think stopping is a good idea."
* Myria runs alongside Theron!
<Kit> 6Chii turns off her blade and sets it back beneath her waist ribbon. 1"Cheryl, over here."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Running blindly is just as stupid
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Come on! *keeps leading her family unit to safety*
<Xrilisher> You sure!? *He calls to Sally
<DeathStar> 6* Scar and Shretrav manage to dust themselves off.
* Chad`Winters looks at Theron. 1"Keep healing him."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "You have a plan here, Cass?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eeks as Cassandra leads them off
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels beside Chad and Theron, eyeing Dias
<Sally> "As long as our stupidity is on an even scale then."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stays by Chad, holding Megumi
<Kit> 6Chii gazes over her shoulder. 1"Shretrav. Point lead, would you? I'll cover."
<Marcus> * Theron nods and resumes.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> The plan right now is not get killed. The second part is go with the others and finish the mission.
<Chad`Winters> We need to get Dias and Darien back on track. Freyja keep working on Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav eyes Chii, then moves over to Chad. Apparantly she isn't taking orders from a fox demon
<Chad`Winters> Use some medical nanites to help also.
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Chad, I'm not a doctor, you realize. I fix what I see and know. It's not like I get an automatic image in my head of what's wrong when I'm healing someone.
<Kit> <Freyja> I don't have nanites, either.
<Marcus> * Theron holds a medical pack to Myria with his free hand. "Give these to Dias, please."
<Kit> 6Freyja twitches slightly and moves back over to look over Dias.
<Chad`Winters> I don't care Freyja. Do what you can.
<Kit> <Freyja> Start caring.
* Myria nods, taking the med packs. She moves over and uses the med pack on Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens his eyes slowly, coughing
* Xrilisher reaches a building, pressing his back to it as he watches the group a short distance away
* Marcus lets out a breath, glancing at Kat, "Your head alright down here?"
* Chad`Winters looks at Darien. 1"Good you're alive.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. No attacks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Can't feel my legs.
* Marcus nods. "Good. I hope it stays that way."
<Kit> 6Chii sighs, still having one gun out. Staying put is making her anxious.
<Sally> "Might wanna heal those, he needs them for running."
<Chad`Winters> We're working on it.
<Marcus> * Theron frowns. "I am giving it as much as I can. It will take time."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We should...*he licks his lips* Split into two groups. That way we can work individually...toward our targets.
* Chad`Winters looks down at Darien. 1"Who you got planned?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, clearly I'm in the group...staying here...until we can move again
<Marcus> <Drasek> We've already got a few that've ran off, mate.
* Xrilisher 's eyes dart about as he watches for surprise attackers
<DeathStar> <Darien> Chad, you should...lead a group.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC keeps her eyes open as she looks around
<DeathStar> <Darien> Take Shretrav as your guide.
* Chad`Winters glances at Shretrav then down at Darien, nodding.
<Kit> <Freyja> I'd prefer not to be with Chad Winters.
<Kit> <Chii> I'll stick with him then.
<Chad`Winters> We need a healer on each team.
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Chii, frowning.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll stay here with Dias.
* Chad`Winters nods to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs the back of her head.
<Chad`Winters> Chii and Cheryl's staying so Megumi and Zephyr's coming with me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sure.
<Sally> "I'll go wherever told."
<Marcus> I'll stay with Dias. Fucker needs his sidekick after all.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "I will go with MEgumi Zhenmei."
* Chad`Winters nods to Erevis, expecting that.
<Marcus> <Drasek> I've got Revi's back.
<Kit> <Freyja> ...
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I'll go whereever you tell me to, sir.
<Chad`Winters> Freyja's on my team since the rune blades staying with Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Myria will stay with Theron...and Theron's threating me. So go with Chad, Cassandra.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Yes, sir.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leaps on Cassandra's shoulders
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm with you, Robo Ma.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna moves to accompany Cass.
<Chad`Winters> Wolf's can stay with you're team.
<Kit> 6Freyja says nothing, averting her eyes and leaving the attention of Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar rubs the back of his head.
* Xrilisher approaches the team " I'd prefer to go with Chad. " he says, looking betwen he and Shretrav
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Freyja, and leans forward, giving her a smile
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> We're together.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad to have you with us,.
<Sally> "Right, I'll watch em."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Marcus, then at chad.
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Erevis, stoic, then forcing herself to smile that fake smile. 1"...Pleasure, Erevis."
<Ariel> Em> "If... no one objects... I'd like to sit until the big bad dark world stops spinning."
<Chad`Winters> Kat you can stay with Darien's team. Scar you're with us.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Wooo. I get to go with the hot twin
<Chad`Winters> That's fine Em.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar prances over.
* Marcus looks at Katrina. Then shrugs.
<Kit> <Chii> ... ...W-wait, what's that supposed to mean!?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, and kneels beside Dias, glancing down at him
<Marcus> I'd rather you be by my side anyway. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Get that...other Tsiv, and send him back here. He's ... our guide.
* Marcus looks down at Dias. "Wish I could use my corruption to heal him. My luck I would blast his leg off."
<Chad`Winters> Xril you're with Darien's team
* Xrilisher stands over Darien " I'm right here. "
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... huh
<Chad`Winters> That everyone? 6He glances around.
* Xrilisher frowns at Chad, then nods
* Sally grins at Xril. "Hope you remember your way around this place."
<DeathStar> 6* Scar grins at Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Scar, then her gun, then Scar.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Your momma twin is hot.
<Kit> 6Chii smiles.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good luck, Chad...
<Kit> 6Chii continues smiling. Click.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar steps behind Cheryl, who's looking down at Dias. He makes groping motions
<Chad`Winters> Stay alive Darien. 6He nods to him. 6He turns to Shretrav. 1"LEad the way please."
* Xrilisher moves towards Chad, placing a hand on his shoulder " A word with you? "
* Chad`Winters stops, looking at Xril. 1"Make it quick."
<Kit> 6Chii starts advancing toward Scar.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav nods once, then adjusts her robes, and moves onward, though slowly since Chad is distracted
* Xrilisher leans over, whispering something
<DeathStar> 6* Scar yelps and runs after Shretrav.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Let's go. *moves in after Chad*
* Xrilisher stands, moving back towards Darien
* Chad`Winters only grunts in response and moves after Shretrav.
<Marcus> * Drasek lets out a whislte. "Our team looks pretty familier, eh bit?" he says to Zephyr as he moves after Shretrav.
<DeathStar> 6* Team Chad moves out of sight, and will return in the next scene shift.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits up, holding his stomach. The Rune Sword has mostly healed him.
* Sally switches her cannon out for her anti-dark one rifle and looks around acting as a sentry.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias would awaken, but he's still banged up.
<Ariel> 6* Em breaks out her canteen, taking a drink.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans, trying to move his hand to head.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias`
* Marcus peers down at Dias. "Jeez man, you crashed us into a building."
<Xrilisher> Alright. We're moving to the capital building then, yes?
<Dias`> <Dias> So that's what stopped us.
<Marcus> <Theron> We will address that after everyone is ready to move.
<Kit> <Chii> ... Which is when?"
<Dias`> 6Dias tries to stand up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl boinks Chii
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You alive, Dias?
<Marcus> * Theron peers at Darien. "Do you require more healing?"
<Myria> Be careful, Mr. Dias.
<Kit> 6Chii glances around their perimeter again, irritated. She jerks when Cheryl hits her. 1"Wh-what!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, holding his stomach. "I'll be fine."
<Dias`> <Dias> If I'm not, I'm ready for you to take me my angel.
<Marcus> * Theron stops healing and then holds the rune blade up, toward Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes it, leaning on it.
<Xrilisher> If one of them can't stand, then carry them on your back. The longer we wait the more vulnerable we are to sneak attack, so get up, and lets get on with this mission.
<DeathStar> 6* As Xril says this, a dark energy field surrounds them
* Sally eyes it again, "So how does that work again? Some kinda magic?"
<Ariel> 6* Em pushes herself up. "Alright... I'm ready."
* Marcus glances up and then looks around. "Aw man. Why does he get to be right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina spins around. Em and her both can feel dark ones trying to invade their minds.
<Xrilisher> ... And this is why.
<Kit> <Chii> Because I was ignored when I tried to get us moving the first time.
<Dias`> 6Dias stands up finally, looking an feeling like shit. 1"Give me a few. I'll be back to 120%."
<Sally> "...Shit damnit motherfucker." *looks around and sweeps her rifle*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth. "We don't leave our team behind, Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes, glancing around-- less aware with less spiritual strength than normal.
<Dias`> 6SPoC turns around, sweeping her rifle
<Kit> <Chii> I never said to leave them behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus emerges, though he seems less than ... corporeal.
* Marcus eyes Katrina and kneels down by her, staring at her. He puts his hand on her shoulder, as a moral support more than anything else.
<Kit> 6Chii's eyes widen.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns, aiming his sword at Asmodeus
<Marcus> * Theron tilts his head, then glances at Chii. He then looks back to Asmodeus. "Most interesting."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hunh...hunh....he's full of hate.
<Sally> "You're that fucker from the station..."
<Dias`> <Dias> What's new? 6He shifts, wincing
* Xrilisher fires the first shot at Asmodeus, testing the effect
<DeathStar> 6* The shot passes through him
<Myria> What's wrong with him though?
* Sally aims her rifle at Asmodeaus. "Oh great, shooting things won't work."
<Marcus> I know. Focus on me. Focus on the good. Feel my emotions. *he closes his eyes, then thinks about something that would make him happy*
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> How sad that Drasek has left.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus eyes Marcus, then fires a dark beam at him - that isn't incorporeal
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jerks MArcus to the side
* Marcus is jerked to the side.
<Kit> <Chii> So he did learn. Shit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip
<Kit> 6Chii puts her hand to the ground and begins forming sequences of circles and runes. 1"...Gh... Hold still...!"
<Marcus> <Theron> This is most troublesome. How do you injure a ghostly Dark One?
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus suddenly dashes forward at Chii
* Myria taps on her computer nterface and quickly scans Asmodeus.
<Dias`> 6Dias seems to shift around, testing every single one of his muscles
* Sally fires the anti-dark one weapon at Asmo.
<DeathStar> 6* Myria's scans only come up with dark energy. Sal's weapon goes through it
<Kit> 6Chii's eyes widen again, since she's a bit... occupied. 1"Sh-Shit!"
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus enters Chii, and takes her body over from her
* Marcus arches a brow open and glances at Kat. "..thanks." He frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jerks. "Chii!" 6* Cheryl's eyes widen.
<Sally> "The hell..."
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> Please. 6* Chii adjusts her outfit. "Shoot now."
* Xrilisher moves towards Darien, guarding him " Stop standing there and use that damn blade! "
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm not using it on one of our own!
* Marcus looks up and frowns, standing up. "Uh, dude this is messed up."
<Xrilisher> Too late..
<Dias`> <Dias> Oh that is totally unfair.
<Sally> "Beat him out of her or something."
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus holds out her hand. "Katon." 6* Fire balls launch at Dias.
<Dias`> 6Dias sighs and tries to throw himself to the side
<Xrilisher> What about Kat and Em? Can you two psions not forcefully eject him from Chii's body?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to reach Chii through the bond.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know....
<Marcus> * Theron peers at Chii and sighs.
<Myria> I can't read anything...j...just alot of dark energy!
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus pulls out some blades, throwing them at Katrina and Em.
<Marcus> That's asking them alot. They'll leave themselves open to be taken over, too. *he jerks to Pull Kat aside*
<Dias`> 6SPoC shifts her aim and fires at a blade
<DeathStar> 6* One blade is spin away
<Xrilisher> Well you'll never know unless you try! *he dashes infront of Kat, deflecting a blade with the butt end of his gun
<DeathStar> 6* Xril stops the other
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus giggles. Cheryl growls and boinks Asmodeus on the head
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> GEt out!
<Ariel> 6* Em dives for cover, cringing audiably as she does. She attempts to retaliate with a telepathic surge to Asmodeus' mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina aids Em, focusing hard. Asmodeus is jerked out of Chii's body
<Xrilisher> Get Myria, Em and Katrina to coordinate an attack at once!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spins and slashes, but the blade goes through him.
<Xrilisher> Damnit..! Doesnt that thing have special abilities? Are you using it right!?
<Dias`> 6Dias winces as he pushes himself back up
* Marcus groans. "Dude calm down, we're all right here." He pulls up his hands and fires a .5% beam towards Asmo, as a tester.
<DeathStar> 6* .5 does not work
<Kit> <Chii> ...." 6Gasps and falls to a knee.
<Kit> <Chii> F-Fuck...!
* Marcus does the 1% then, jerk.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus is hit by it and stumbles
* Sally tries shooting him again.
<DeathStar> 6* Sal fails.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus hrms, then holds up his hand. Marcus and Dias' bodies begin to move against their wills
<Dias`> 6Dias eyes his body and retaliates by trying to overpower it
<Marcus> I-I What the fu..fuck? *he struggles to keep hold of himself.*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slashes through him again. "Tch. I don't have my energy left in it, and I'm not going to drain it now."
<DeathStar> *much
<Kit> 6Chii struggles to her feet. 1"Cheryl, c'mere."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl attacks with her whip, doing nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina telepathically blocks Marcus from being controlled. Someone will ahve to do the same for Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, then moves over.
<Ariel> 6* Em isn't sure how to fight Asmodeus, trying to fry his mind doesn't work, so she tries to block him from controlling Dias instead.
<Kit> 6Chii fiddles with her wrist, then takes off the bracer, reaching for Cheryl's hand. 1"Focus it into your whip."
<DeathStar> 6* Em blocks him from controlling Dias.
* Dias` jerks forward, letting out breath of air
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "Huh?"
* Marcus blinks and then nods to Kat. "Thanks." He then peers at Asmodeus. "Alright..." He flexes his muscles, preparing for an attack.
<Sally> "Think maybe some other power will work?"
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> ... 6* He sends a dark beam at Chii and Cheryl
<Xrilisher> Looks like Marcus has the only ability that works against him. * He moves forward to the side of Marcus, ready to act as a guard* Hit him with everything you've got.
<Dias`> <Dias> It's always got to be our dark powers.
<Kit> <Chii> You should have a mematic memory of spiritual manipulation thanks to our bond and my use of ninpo in gear form. The bracer... Warren made it to work like that. I don't have the energy to, so you have t--" 6She peers over at the beam
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spins with the sword, parrying one of the dark beam
<Marcus> Dias, relax. I'll handle this.
<Kit> 6Chii rams Cheryl away from her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stumbles back
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus lifts his hand, and begins to close the dark energy ring around them
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We're losing ground.
<Dias`> <Dias> Darien this Earth's rune useless on me.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides over. "It could strength the sword back up."
<Kit> <Chii> Go! I need him offguard to try and devour it.
<Dias`> 6SPoC eyes the barrier closing in on them
<Dias`> 6Dias yanks it off and slaps it onto the rune blade
* Marcus shifts and throws his hand forward, launching a 4% beam towards Amso as he does the hand lifting bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien adjusts the sword
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus is hit, recoiling
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus growls.
<Kit> 6Chii puts both hands to the ground, forming the circles again.
<Xrilisher> Dont let up, Marcus!
<Dias`> <Dias> It doesn't work that way Xril.
* Marcus lets out a breath and dashes forward, towards Asmodeus. "Can it man, you have no idea how this works."
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> ... 6* He dashes at Marcus
* Xrilisher steps infront of Asmodeus
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus enters Xril instead, taking him over.
* Marcus slides to a stop and groans. "Stupid fucking Tsiv!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops from activating the dark rune
<DeathStar> <Darien> Crap.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus picks up his xvash, and swings at Marcus
<Sally> "...Crap."
<Dias`> Em, Kat. Push him out again.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Em.
* Marcus hisses and tries to jump back, sucking in his gut if he has too.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ready?
<Kit> 6Chii pauses, preparing the circles necessary to devour, but now not having a valid target.
<Kit> <Chii> Can I use the rune yet? Tch.
<Ariel> Em> "No idea? I haven't been able to affect this guy!"
<DeathStar> <Darien> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to shove Asmodeus out of Xrileshir mentally.
* Myria tries using her telepathy to help foce Asmodeus out!
<DeathStar> 6* Myria and KAtrina shove him out
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus sighs
<DeathStar> 6* And launches a dark beam at Myria
<Sally> "Let me try one. I'm tired of this fucker."
<Marcus> * Theron widens his eyes and shifts to tackle her to the ground.
<Kit> Knock him again... I'll get him!
<Myria> Eeeee!
<Kit> 6Chii growls, posing.
<Ariel> 6* Em concentrates, and attempts to mentally slug Asmodeus in the face.
<DeathStar> 6* Em can't hurt hi psionically. Just protect or shove him out
<DeathStar> 6* Which isn't necessary right now
* Marcus moves forward again, towards Asmo, the lines on his body starting to glow.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien activates the rune blade on darkness, and it begins to glow.
<Kit> <Chii> Darien! You just told me I couldn't!
<Myria> Thank you, Theron.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You can use it in the sword. And you don't get the sword.
<Marcus> * Theron nods and stands. "It was nothing."
<Kit> <Chii> You guys suck!!
<Sally> "Beat his ass, sir."
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus eyes Marcus and Darien
<DeathStar> 6* Knowing this team, he can get them to hit each other
* Marcus dashes in towards him, his fists starting to glow as well. "Come'on then, let's get this over with." He jumps forward, sending a punch towards Asmo. 1%
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus is hit, recoiling slightly, but he begins to enter Marcus, right as Darien slashes down, damaging him severely.
<Kit> <Chii> Pin him, you stingy jackasses!
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus slides back.
<DeathStar> <Darien> As if we'll let you eat his soul again. You know what happened last time.
<Kit> <Chii> That's it!
* Dias` stays back, using this time to try and recover.
* Marcus jumps back and fires a 2% beam for Amso from the right.
<Sally> "Just kill the miserable fuck."
* Xrilisher grins, as he watches the battle, his rifle slung over his shoulder as he holds the Xvash " You'd better hurry, that Ring is getting pretty close. " he warns
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus is hit and falls otno the ground
* Marcus breathes. "Darien. Finish him."
<Dias`> DRive the blade into him!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spins the sword, driving it downward at him.
<Kit> 6Chii snarls loudly and pulls her hands hand away from the ground, drawing the circles and runes up onto her hand and arm devoid of the bracer. She slowly starts, then begins sprinting toward Darien, Marcus and Asmodeous
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stabs Asmodeus
<Ariel> 6* Em attempts to protect Darien from possible possession attempts
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus tries to grab DArien and enter him, but Em beats him to the punch
<DeathStar> 6* Darien unleashes a dark wave, and asmodeus begins to dissolve into nothingness
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns off the rune usage, and leans back
<Kit> 6Chii springs, bringing her hand with fingers clenched downward for Asmodeus, snatching as if to grab what was the face.
<Dias`> <SPoC> It appears we have beaten him
<Ariel> 6* Em smirks, knowing she's accomplished something worthwhile finally, for this adventure.
* Marcus straitens upright, his body returns to the normal non-glowy type. "Jeez i'm old."
<DeathStar> 6* Chii only gets particles of energy - the soul gone
<DeathStar> 6* The barrier vanishes
<Myria> Finally...
<Dias`> <Dias> Good job Marcus.
* Sally looks around at the barrier.
<Dias`> <Dias> Sidekick extrodinaire
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina relaxes fially.
<Marcus> Hey it was Darien that finished him off. *he motions*
<Dias`> <Dias> You'll make a fine superhero someday
<Kit> 6Chii pauses a moment, then rears her arm back and hits the ground, once, twice, then repeatedly, quicker each time in anger. The runes eventualyl disappearing. She eyes Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Chii back, taking deep breaths
* Marcus just shakes his head. "You're lame man. So lame.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii's shoulder
<Sally> "Oh calm down fix, I'm sure there's plenty here for you to munch on."
<Sally> *fox
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wolf is right
<Kit> 6Chii calms a bit when Cheryl arrives, but then leans her head back and snarls at Sally. 1"Maybe because he got away the first time, I feel responsible for him!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to Xrileshir. "Lead the wasy."
<Xrilisher> Alright then, moving right along. *he steps forward, moving onward. His mind focused on business as usual, not even stopping after the battle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii. What matters is that he's beaten
<Marcus> <Theron> You could not have known it would have happened to way it did, Miss Chii. Do not feel at blame.
<Sally> "The fucker is dead, let's move on."
<Sally> "Seriously, I'd ratehr find something I can actually fight."
<Ariel> Em> *steps forward* "...you think he's gone for good this time?"
<Marcus> Besides, Chii. I got to look sweet. So that's always a plus. *he smirks and then turns to move over to kat*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Chii a psionic nudge of good will, then moves after Xril.
<Kit> 6Chii looks to each of them, then snaps. 1"WHATEVER!"
<Dias`> 6Dias and SPoC move after
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves onward.
<Marcus> * Theron frowns and turns to move on.
* Sally moves on.
* Marcus marches alongside Kat.
* Myria moves along beside Theron.
<Kit> 6Chii reaches back into a satchel, removing some wrap to put around her knuckles. Never has done well with dismissal.

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, after finishing her time with Chii in their room, has found herself drinking in the PAX bar.
<Marcus> * Drasek plops down beside her. "Oi Mate. I need a beer." He motions.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender, who is not Terra, hands over a beer.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays in the garden, hands on her chest
<Marcus> <Drasek> Thanks, mate. *he gives a nod, he takes a swig and then glances over at Cheryl.* Well, it's Zeph's big sis.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If it isn't Zephyr's bald boyfriend.
<Marcus> * Drasek snorts. "Much to old to be her boyfriend, luv. Might be old enough to be her pa, though."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. 6* She notes Chii is old enough to be her great grandmother to the umpteenth
<Kit> <Chii> <B-Bitch!>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Mmmm, recovered already?>
<Kit> <Chii> <What, should I be out like an old bat!?>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <...Sorry.>
<Kit> <Chii> <... ... ...H-Hrmph.>
<Marcus> * Drasek glances at her, then shrugs. "So, luv. How you been and all that?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. 6* She drinks her whiskey, setting it down. "And how are you?"
<Marcus> * Drasek takes a swig and gives a shrug. "Right as rain. You still working with that foxgirl?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. 6* Her cheeks gain some color at the mention of working with
<Marcus> * Drasek tilts his head. "That's good. She's a bit wild that one. But then again you seem to be a little wild yourself."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do I? 6* She eyes Drasek now, drinking her whiskey.
<Marcus> <Drasek> Least when it comes to a battlefield. Eh, luv?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. I can't argue that.
<Marcus> * Drasek takes a drink and then scratches his chin. "Feel a bit out of place round these folks." He says after a minute or two.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Do you? Why?
<Marcus> <Drasek> Not really friends with any of your lot. And mine are all running about catching up old times. Leaves a bloke like me out of the loop.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Explains the drinking
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her whiskey, setting the glass aside, and get a new one
<Marcus> <Drasek> And I guess you're just the type of gal that needs a good hard drink to function, then?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You could say that.
<Marcus> <Drasek> I'm quite the boozehound myself. Granted I can't really get drunk.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then why drink.
<Marcus> <Drasek> I claim that the booze refuels me. What with being a big swishy ball of energy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh huh
<Marcus> <Drasek> Really I just like the taste. But shh, that's a secret, luv. 've got a rep to protect and all that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him, then knocks back her whiskey. "Sure."
<Kit> 6Chii eyes the two from the doorway.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances back at Chii. Cheryl seems a bit worn out, probably from the activities, but she seems to have enough stamina to drink
<Marcus> * Drasek motions for another beer, then glances towards Chii. "Ah it's the fox girl in the flesh. 'ello luv."
<Kit> <Chii> ...Yo, casual drinker.
<Marcus> <Drasek> Drasek, luv. Name's Drasek.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl studies Chii, then shifts a bit so Chii can sit by her
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Cheryl, then moves over and sits.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hi. 6* She notes
<Kit> <Chii> Hey.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl studies Chii intently.
<Marcus> * Drasek glances between the two. He tilts his head. "Odd bunch."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .. 6* She eyes Drasek slowly.
<Kit> 6Chii scowls toward Drasek. 1"What'd you say?"
<Marcus> <Drasek> Aren't quite normal, are ya? You two.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She drinks her whiskey in response.

<DeathStar> 6* Scar tries to untangle himself from a tree
<DeathStar> <Scar> Oh come on! Let me down. Please?
<Kit> 6Megumi peers up, blinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances upward, then back down, as if she is tuning out Scar. "Is there anything else we can do? Are you hungry?"
<Kit> <Megumi> U-Um... sure..." 6Shakes her head to stop staring at Scar.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises, patting grass off the kimono, then calmly walks out, ignoring Scar's thrashing and cursing
<Kit> 6Megumi gets up, looks up and bows, then follows Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Oh, if only my Freyja would show up and rescue me
<Kit> 6A cold breeze blows by.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Now that's just plain weird. We're on a station.
<Kit> <Freyja> Exactly." 6She stares into Scar's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar jerks, then beams. "My white flower. You've come to save me."
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmm...
<DeathStar> <Scar> You...have come to save me, right, my rose petal?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis enters the bar, taking a seat delicately, then glances at the menu, trying to remember what was served.
<Kit> 6Megumi sits down ungracefully, leaning on the counter as she kicks her feet. 1"Ahh... Been a while..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Megumi, and then pauses, trying to mimic her.
<Kit> 6Megumi waves at the attendent and asks for milk tea.
<DeathStar> 6* The attendant complies, and Erevis casually orders some sake. And then some of their sushi. Sadly, being far from Earth, there's just one type - salmon.
<Kit> <Megumi> I am amazed they have any type of Earth fish." 6She stares.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Apparantly they do not hold back in whatever it takes to acquire food.
<Kit> <Megumi> Mm... Can I have some?
<DeathStar> 6* The attendant delivers the drinks, then gives them both the sushi to share.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, taking her chopsticks, and giving Megumi another pair
<Kit> 6Megumi takes a piece, then lifts it, grinning at Erevis. 1"Say 'ahh...'"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ahhh? 6* She says, mimicing the sound, raising her eyebrow
<Kit> 6Megumi lifts the piece to Erevis' mouth
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then opens her mouth and takes a bite of the sushi from Megumi's chopsticks, chewing on it. She picks up a piece, then holds it out to Megumi. "Say 'fish'." 6* She says with a straight face
<Kit> 6Megumi stares, then giggles, barely managing 1'Fiiish..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis places the sushi into Megumi's mouth, then picks up her own sake, taking a drink from it, then refilling
<Kit> 6Megumi chews, trying to keep from choking and laughing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles at Megumi's reaction, perhaps pleased her joke went over so well, or the sight of Megumi choking and laughing is amusing in and of itself.
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kit> 6Megumi finishes and starts drinking tea to keep it down well. 1"Hee."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drinks another cup of sake, then pours herself a third, taking another piece of sushi up. She seems to be in a good mood, as if finally relaxed after a month of hardship. "You are cute." 6* She states simply.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...E-er..! Y-You are too!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "You are much more cute." 6* She states. As if Megumi's line proves it
<Kit> <Megumi> N-Not to me!" 6She pouts, sipping tea.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not find yourself to be cute? 6* She asks, peering at her
<Kit> <Megumi> I... I am me." 6She points out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. You are you.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar continues to sweet talk Freyja, working his way from A to Z on the hit ons
<Kit> 6Freyja continues to stare blankly, then actually begins looking disgusted
<Kit> <Megumi> Remember, I am too bright for a Famfrit. Heh!
<DeathStar> 6* Scar sighs, then just talks normal. "How about letting me down?"
<Kit> <Freyja> What's the magic word?
<DeathStar> <Scar> Please?
<Kit> 6Freyja puts a hand on his shoulder, then both appear on the garden floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles. "I find your level of brightness to be very reasonable and pleasant."
<DeathStar> 6* Scar sighs in relief. "Thank you, Shrine Maiden."
<Kit> <Freyja> Your welcome." 6She turns to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar admires her ass
<Kit> 6Freyja jerks, then disappears
<DeathStar> <Scar> Man, that woman is sex-y
<Kit> 6Freyja inquires to Paladin how to file a restraining order
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks up from doing work on the bridge. "I believe the closest place near our base would be the local adminstration building."
<Kit> 6Freyja twitches. 1"no such thing as a military restraining order?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Well. No. I don't think so. I'd have to look it up.
<Kit> <Freyja> Ungh..
<Kit> 6Megumi reddens a bit and hides behind her milk tea glass.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at her oddly. "You are still visible." 6* She finishes her next sake, pouring herself another. She pushes the rest aside, as she's experiencing the effects already, and finishes her last cup, before taking some more sushi
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Who's bothering you?
<Kit> <Freyja> The shapeshifter.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I'll have a talk with Scar, then
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches over with one finger, sliding the milk tea glass to the side
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks at Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you planning to hide forever?
<Kit> <Megumi> N-no!
<Kit> 6Megumi sets the glass down, fidgeting.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She tilts her head, then takes some more sushi, holding it out for Megumi to take a bite
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks again, then smiles softly and takes a bite.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. 6* She seems to consider something.
<Kit> 6Megumi nibbles, peering at Erevis curiously again
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am trying to think of what we could do next. 6* She frowns, trying to remember what all the PAX had to offer.
<Kit> <Megumi> We could spy on Darien.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You...desire to spy ... on Darien Starr? 6* She looks completely baffled
<Kit> <Megumi> Well, no. But I did do that the last time I was on PAX.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She nods once, slowly. "Well, if you do not desire it this time, perhaps we should find another activity."
<Kit> 6Megumi smirks. 1"We could always play Go."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, reeling slightly. "We..could do that. If you...desire to do so."
<Kit> 6Megumi pokes Erevis in the rib. 1"However you do not want to."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks as she is poked. Then looks embarrassed. "It is not that."
<Kit> <Megumi> Heee.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, wondering if she's being picked on
<Kit> 6Megumi reaches up and tugs on Erevis' cheeks, giggling
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis recoils a bit as she tugs on her cheeks, then she stares, reaching up and tugging on Megumi's cheeks in return, with that stoic stare of her's
<Kit> 6Megumi acks, making a face
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to tug.
<Kit> 6Megumi continues making faces, wincing. 1"Uu... Uugu...!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finally lets go, then seems to giggle herself. "Your expression was most humorous."
<Kit> 6Megumi puffs her cheeks, rubbing them
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches over and rubs Megumi's cheek gently, as if to make up for it
<Kit> 6Megumi smiles weakly at Erevis, then sips more tea.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I apologize if I hurt you
<Kit> <Megumi> It is fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans over and kisses Megumi on the cheek
<Kit> 6Megumi giggles then looks to Erevis. 1"Mmm, perhaps we could try volleyball again?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. As opponents?
<Kit> 6Megumi nods. 1"Against one another, yes, but we do not need to be as rough as Miss Terra."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Terra Kershaw was quite rough, yes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be nice. I would enjoy facing you in volley ball.
<Kit> 6Megumi hops down from the stool, grinning. 1"Then shall we?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, getting off the stool

<DeathStar> 6* The two arrive at the sim room, having configured it for a volleyball match. Erevis considers. "Should the winner receive any sort of prize from the defeated?"
<Kuroichigo> Nrp; for all instensive purposes me = Megumi
<Kuroichigo> Huh...? Is there something you want from me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I do not know. 6* She thinks
<Kuroichigo> If you think of something, then.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Is there anything you wish if you win? However unlikely that may be.
<Kuroichigo> Ha-hah! You think I am too weak for this child's game!?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are quite strong. 6* She nod once.
<Kuroichigo> But you are stronger, eh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Kuroichigo> Hrmph!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks up the ball, moving to her side, then tosses it to Megumi to begin
* Kuroichigo wastes no time in leaping spryly and spiking it sharply downward, close to the net
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then jerks to get it, but misses with a stumble. She scowls, picking up the ball.
<Kuroichigo> Hee!
<Kuroichigo> Too quick for you?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hands it back to her, still scowling. "It was a simple error of judgement."
<Kuroichigo> Or you underestimate me!
* Kuroichigo throws her hands up energetically
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hands her the ball.
* Kuroichigo lightly tosses it up, then sideswipes it over the net thanks to her height
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis adjusts her body, knocking it back with a bump up, a step back, then hitting it with her hand to send it over in a quick arc
* Kuroichigo gets under its path and leaps up, hitting it with her knuckles straight up, givng her time to land and leap again, slamming it with her palm toward the back of Erevis' lot
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches it hit the back of her lot, scowling even more now.
<DeathStar> 6* Moving to pick up the ball, she returns it to Megumi, then gets ready, looking as if she plans to dominate.
* Kuroichigo grins and sets it, then leaps as if she's going to smash it, but then barely hits it enough to get it over the net
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, watching it fall down. She dives, knocking it back up
* Kuroichigo leaps up, reaching over to hit it mildly for the middle of Erevis' side
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands as it hits the ground. She sighs, looking rather humilated.
<Kuroichigo> Hehe.
* Kuroichigo retrieves the ball and poses with it.
<Kuroichigo> Fourty-five, love!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face, then tilts her head. "Fourty-five?"
<Kuroichigo> Fifteen points per score in this game
<Kuroichigo> Love is zero, hee
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She nods once, then scowls when Megumi says that
* Kuroichigo sets it up
<Kuroichigo> Game point!
* Kuroichigo leaps and smashes it for the far corner
<DeathStar> 6* The ball stops, then goes flying back over the net
* Kuroichigo blinks
* Kuroichigo dives to hit it back
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts, then hits the ball with her own hands, sending it back over
* Kuroichigo dives for the other side, missing, huffing in exasperation
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, looking like she feels better about herself
<Kuroichigo> Y-you cheated..!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, then frowns. "You did not state I could not use psionics."
<Kuroichigo> ... ...
* Kuroichigo glances away
<Kuroichigo> Y-you are right. I forgot....
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will not use them again, however.
* Kuroichigo nods and rises, tossing her the ball
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes it, then steps back, having to wait a moment to get her balance, still being intoxicated. She peers at Megumi, then throws up the ball, hitting it with all her might to send it sharply in an arc toward the right corner
* Kuroichigo sprints for it and goes to bump it. It smacks her hands and she cries sharply, nursing her wrists while the ball bounces away
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then moves under the net to Megumi. "Are you alright? Did I injure you?"
<Kuroichigo> Hee, guess I am a little fragile. That hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, then takes Megumi's wrists, rubbing them. With the slight bit of energy that's current in her hands at all time, it actually feels like a massager
* Kuroichigo blinks, them smiles a bit.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I imagine I do not know my own strength. 6* She states, as if patting herself on the back and stating that Megumi isn't fragile
<Kuroichigo> Hee! So modest.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes rubbing Megumi's wrists. "Are you feeling better again?"
<Kuroichigo> Yes, much better thanks to you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down a moment. "I did not do much."
<Kuroichigo> Nrp; work. Sigh

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back on the bar, holding her whiskey in one hand, her head leaned backwards to eye the ceiling
<Xanatos> * Someone sits down beside Cheryl, she might get the notion that they are staring at her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You better not be looking at my breasts.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Really? They are pretty magnificent though.
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her head to eye Marcus
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh?
* Marcus shrugs. "It's true." He nods to the bartender to get him a beer. "So what's up?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> My alcohol level. 6* She eyes her breasts now, gripping them, and jiggles them, as if trying to decide if they are so great.
<Marcus> That's always good. *he takes a sip* Well, sometimes. When you get that whole passed out thing going on, you're not much fun.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes him. "I'm not, eH?"
* Marcus glances at her. "Well, you can't look at me like you're just waiting on me to say the wrong thing. Since I teeter on that edge oh so often."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You really do, pal. 6* She reaches around and grabs her glass of whiskey, bringing it to her lips
<Marcus> Well that's fun. It's daring and stuff. Some might call it stupid.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Most would.
<Marcus> True. But you're my buddy, you wouldn't hurt me. Right? *he glances at her and smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him like he's stupid
<Marcus> Wow, that bums me out.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure it does. 6* She finishes who knows what number glass, setting it back
* Marcus takes a gulp of beer. "Won't Paladin get mad that you're drinking before a mission?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll take a sober up pill if I have to do so
<Marcus> Huh, well yeah I guess that would work. *he taps the bar slightly* Hmmm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets another glass by tapping her finger
<Marcus> Been asking people their opinion on this upcoming mission. But I guess it would be kinda pointless to ask you, since I already know your take on it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That saves time.
<Marcus> I know how much it annoys you to sit and babble over pointless things. It's why I don't hang around much, since I tend to rant.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Hm. 6* She peers at Marcus. "Then talk about something not pointless."
<Marcus> Well pointless things are reletive. Pointless to you, could mean something to me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. Then I won't get annoyed. Ask away.
<Marcus> Well, i'm always curious as to how you're doing. You're my friend and I care about you. But here lately it seems like you and Chii are doing alright. So I wonder if I should even ask.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're fine. 6* She notes, getting her new glass and shaking it's contents
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You and McCormick?
<Marcus> It's new. It's different. I'm not used to dating. So I guess I might be holding us back, i'm not sure really.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hmmm.
<Marcus> I think i'm starting to have a jealousy thing going on though. That's a weird one.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A ... jealousy thing?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him
<Marcus> Yeah, kinda like a mild version of how Chii acts when she sees you hanging out with someone else.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who is McCormick hanging out with that makes you jealous...?
<Marcus> No one in particular. It's odd. Nothing that's a problem, just some emotions I noticed showing up every now and then.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at him, like she's worried he's taken too many blows to the head
* Marcus waves his hand. "I think it's this whole, 'I'm with this one person' thing, where since I've never did it before, I have this subconcious fear that i'm going to be hurt. Since I'm actually putting my emotions at risk here.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then maybe you shouldn't put your feelings out there to be hut
<Marcus> If I don't then the relationship will fail. That's the thing about them. If you don't put yourself out there, then it won't last. But even if you do put yourself out there, there's a chance it won't work either."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Then you're back at square one. Big deal. You were there to begin with
<Marcus> But if you finally find that one person. Your soul mate. Then all the heartbreak and trouble that you've went through was worth it. Or so that's the idea.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph. Soul Mates.
<Marcus> What?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I just don't buy it.
<Marcus> I think anything is possible. I've seen way too many fucked up things in my life. So the idea of a soulmate doesn't seem that impossible.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *snorts* Right. So I guess all the other girls were just trial and error?
<Marcus> Do you think I was looking then? *he glances at her*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs.
<Marcus> I'm still relatively young. I know that I might die tomorrow, but I always lived my life taking what I wanted. This whole notion of a soulmate and all that, it never crossed my mind before. I mean, I could've already missed out on my soulmate for all I know.

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just eyes him once, then throws back her drink, tapping for another one. "And McCormick is the one."
<Marcus> I have no idea. You could be the one for all I know.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts with slight amusement. "Yeah. Right."
<Marcus> Well gee, make me feel like a loser a little more, woula ya?
<Marcus> nrp; would*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not soul mate material and you know it.
<Marcus> Maybe not for me. But who's to say that there isn't someone out there for you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She just snorts, takes her new drink, and throws it back as well
<Marcus> Maybe you've already found that person. Eh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes now. "Okay, now you're getting annoying."
* Marcus laughs slightly. "Yeah I was trying to be. I'll stop though. My main point is this, though. I don't know if Kat is the one, but she's fun to be around, and I like her. So I think I owe to myself to give it a shot."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good for you
* Marcus nods. "It's hard to shake that player image though. Zephyr assumed I was just sleeping with her, seemed a bit miffed about it too, like dissappointed or whatever."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? 6* She eyes him. "That bother you?"
<Marcus> It's why i'm trying to change. I care what people think of me. Especially my friends.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. 6* She leans back in her seat, the seat unsteadily tilting back.
* Marcus glances at her. "I tried the whole, not caring thing. But I was just kidding myself, really." His eyes drift down to her seat.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. So what does Dias think, then?
<Marcus> Don't know. We're friends again, but we don't talk about that stuff. Knowing him, he probably thinks it is lame.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves over to the other side of the net with her volleyball
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How can you be friends if you don't talk?
<Marcus> We talk. We just don't do the heart to heart thing. It's not very manly afterall.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Snorts*
* Marcus smiles. "I'm shocked. I figured I would get a comment about how i'm not very manly after that snort."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. You're a man alright.
<Marcus> Should I take that as a compliment?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No
<Marcus> Aw. *he frowns* And here I thought you were being nice to me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hah.
<Marcus> I know, right? *he finishes his beer finally, since he's been talking so much*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets another glass
* Marcus slides his bottle back, but doesn't get another. "This was cool. We've not really hung out for a while."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh? Done with me already? 6* She notes with slight amusement
* Marcus arches a brow and glances at her. "What's that supposed to mean?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You said this 'was' cool. 6* She notes, perhaps being nitpicky in word details
<Marcus> Since when did you act like a woman and pick out specific words?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you're saying I don't typically act like a woman? 6* She notes, then just snorts and takes another drink
<Marcus> Do you think you do?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. I act like what I feel like acting
<Marcus> Then there you go. You're you. If I could lable you though, i'd call you a bit of a tomboy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... a tomboy, eh? 6* She eyes him. "I don't climb no trees."
* Jackieness has left #taw
* Marcus pauses and laughs. "Ok. Maybe not a tomboy. What would be a good label, then?" He hmmms. "Well you are a strong woman."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him now, propping her head up with one hand, waiting to see what Marcus says now
<Marcus> Bah. You're Cheryl. It's too much work trying to label you anything other than that. And I feel lazy. Besides, I say the wrong thing, you might slug me a good one.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Would. The word is would.
<Marcus> I said might cause there's a 36.4% chance that I would successfully dodge it. Depending on if I was expecting it or not.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts at that.
* Marcus watches her for a second or two. "I was trained by the great Adam. My abilities of boob grabbing and duck walking are amazing."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You grab my breasts, and you'll lose more than your hands
<Marcus> I wouldn't do that to you. I'm not Chii.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph. No you're not.
* Marcus glances at her. "So seriously, can I ask you something? You don't even have to answer if you don't want. But i'm damn curious."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... and that is?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him dangerously
<Marcus> Are you and Chii having sex?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, then eyes her glass, to cover up her expression of embarrassment. "Jesus. You just go around and ask everyone that?"
<Marcus> Well no, just you, since it involves you. I could ask her, but I don't know how much of her word I could trust.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just snorts. "So what if we were?"
<Marcus> Then yay for you. Like I said, I'm just damn curious. Since you know, you're not a lesbian.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not.
<Marcus> I wasn't being sarcastic.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... oh. 6* She pauses.
<Marcus> You forget that for the most part, I get you. *he shrugs* But you don't have to tell me if you don't want too. I understand that it is private.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. 6* She runs her fingers along the glass
* Marcus clasps his hands together as he leans on the bar, looking ahead.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing, in one of her quiet moments
* Marcus starts to laugh. "Yeah, it's really none of my business."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She glances at him
* Marcus shrugs. "And here me and you and Kat and Chii could all go on a big double date." He pauses, "Well we kinda already did that."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Those two do like to dance
<Marcus> Makes me feel like one of those weird drunk guys that always tries to squeeze between two girls dancing. Hoping that'll he'll at least get to take one of them home.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph. Surprised you didn't try a threesome with them
<Marcus> Eh, my real goal is a foursome. And not that shitty wannabe foursome that we had back when we were all working for Cass.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... shitty...foursome...?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him
<Marcus> Me, Kat, Angela, and Chii. You never heard about that?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. Huh. 6* She leans her chair further back now
<Marcus> It was really just two pairs doing each other in the same bed. So I guess that's technically an orgy, not a foursome. That was the night when I uh, got Angela all knocked up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. 6* She pauses, reflecting on the dead Angela. She could win wears with her vagina, they said
<DeathStar> *wars
* Marcus glances down at his hands. "It's weird. Her not being here. Don't you think?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. It is.
<Marcus> I can't even begin to imagine who we'll lose tomorrow. Hopefully no one, but it's war, and i'm just being realisitc.
<Marcus> NRP: realistic.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She nods once, frowning now
* Marcus looks up, then glances at her. "I guess that's something I should think about. It'll just get me acting all scared again."
<Marcus> NRP: shouldn't*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Just try not to be the one that days
<DeathStar> *does
<DeathStar> *dies
<Marcus> Yeah, i'll definitely be doing that. You should too. Because I would be pretty bummed if you did.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... 6* She just tchs
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You'd be bummed if almost anyone died
* Marcus shakes his head. "I can think of quite a few that wouldn't really bother me if they did. I would be sad out of obligation, sure."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Obligation? Now that's a first. Being sad because you're obligated
<Marcus> Well they're my allies, we fight together. I may not be there friend, but it would be unfortunate if they died. Cause then they'd bring in new people and look at all the new people we've got. They're total assholes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. You find Paladin to be an asshole?
* Marcus pauses. "No, not really. I forget he's new actually. Out of all the new people, he's the only one I respect."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. I'm sure Wolf and Scar are upset at that
<Marcus> I would have to care about them for that to matter.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm
<Kit> 6Freyja whispers into Marcus' ear. 1"Am I an asshole?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Freyja, then grabs the collar and snaps it around her neck. "Got'cha bitch."
* Marcus slowly glances at Freyja. "If you keep doing that, then yes." He pauses and looks from Cheryl and Freyja.
<Kit> 6Freyja peers down, staring, then eyes Cheryl oddly. 1"Eh, isn't that a little sudden?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She pauses, then eyes Freyja a bit closer.
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles. 1"I prefer not to be a bitch on a first date. Figuratively and literally."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, it's you. 6* She reaches to get her collar back
<Kit> 6Freyja loosens it and returns it.
<Marcus> You seriously can't tell them apart?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There's like 3 of them spinning the fuck around
<Marcus> Oh right. You're drinking/drunk.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh, you can tell us apart pretty easy, eh, Marcus?
<Marcus> Well you wear different clothes and are more self-confident. So yeah.
<Kit> <Freyja> Self-confident...?" 6She taps her lip with her finger.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heh. Self-confident
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, I'm a shrine maiden. Of course I wear different clothes than a kunoichi. Even if we are wearing our ceremonial outfits, there's the differences.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii's nose looks better.
<Kit> 6Freyja takes a seat on the other side of Marcus, waving cheerfully to the attendent and pollitely asking for cold water.
* Marcus shrugs. "Different clothes are different clothes. The whos-its and whats-its don't really matter.
<DeathStar> 6* The attendant hands over the water, and Cheryl gets another glass of whiskey, probably past what she should be at by 4 now
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis serves her next shot by spiking it down hard
<Marcus> Besides, I forget you officially joined the team. *he notes to Freyja*
<Kit> 6Megumi moves for it rapidly, her foot slipping in the sand. She makes a sound, then starts letting out "...1A-AHH--!!" 6Before being struck dead center of her forehead by the spike-- crumpling.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares. "I believe we are tired now." 6* She leans forward, seeing if she is okay
<Kit> 6Megumi is out cold.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks, then tries to decide what to do with her
<Kit> <Freyja> You forget...? Why's that? Only been a day or two.
<Marcus> That's why I forget.
<Kit> <Freyja> Oh well, doesn't really matter to me.
* Marcus nods his head once and then stands. "Not like i'm running off or anything, but I'm going to go find Kat." He pats Cheryl's shoulder. "Try not to have too much fun getting drunk without me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just holds up a hand
<Kit> <Freyja> She's doing better?
<Marcus> Yeah, much better, thank you. *he nods to her* Sorry about the gun in the face.
<Kit> <Freyja> Hey, I'm used to it. At least, unlike Chad, you didn't pull the trigger.
<Marcus> Well I try my best to be unlike Chad in everything I do. *he nods and then turns to step out of the bar*
<Kit> <Freyja> Mm, not a bad policy. Save for some things.
<Kit> 6Freyja leans on an elbow, gazing boredly past the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her now, as if studying her
* Marcus steps out and moves towards Paladin's ship. Or at least to the shuttle to take him there.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans closer now, eyeing Freyja's neck
<Kit> 6Freyja glances slowly at Cheryl. 1"...Yes..?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just seeing if you and Chii are sensitive there. 6* She reaches out and brushes the spot up to Freyja's ear.
<Kit> 5Freyja shivers slightly, then jerks, shifting a bit away, blushing. 1"Wh-what..?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yep. Twins. Huh. 6* She nods, drinking her whiskey
<Kit> 6Freyja stares blankly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her now
<Kit> <Freyja> Um... What are you talking about?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing. 6* She then leans over and tries to grab and yank Freyja's tail, waiting to see if they have the same high pitch squeal
<Kit> 6Freyja makes it, then falls over the back of her stool, collapsing on the ground.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heh heh heh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her whiskey.
<Kit> 6Freyja suddenly appears atop of her stool again, like nothing ever happened.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems completely amused with herself. The bartender edges away
<Kit> 6Freyja takes up the water and begins gulping it down
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You okay, Freyja? 6* She asks, her words slurring a bit
<Kit> <Freyja> ..." 6Gulp. Gasp. She sets the glass down. 1"Y-Yes.."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You sure? 6* She sneers a bit. "You look shaken."
<Kit> <Freyja> Hrmph. Keep, another glass, will you?
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender complies
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She sits a bit closer to Freyja, continuing her psychological warfare against her.
* Marcus is now known as Xan|Sleepzor
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Cheryl, then shifts to her left.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl offers her some whiskey. "Here, have some."
<Kit> <Freyja> ..." 6Peers at it. 1"... I shouldn't."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come on. I'm offering. 6* She shifts it a bit closer
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm a pissy drinker.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you get a bad attitude?
<Kit> <Freyja> Something like that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her whiskey. "Thought you got rid of your bad thoughts."
<Kit> <Freyja> Once upon a time-- but they decided to live their own way and left me to mine.
<Kit> <Freyja> ..." 6Stares at the whiskey. 1"I begin to overthink things and start to doubt the worth of anything.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She peers at her, curiously now. "Yeah?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Mm. Like 'why should you be any more important than them? You all die in the end, so why shouldn't I just end your contribution to my misery' sort of thing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Charming.
<Kit> <Freyja> Very.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're like a big, stingy Chii. 6* She flicks her ear softly
<Kit> 6Freyja recoils a bit, frowning up at her ear. 1"Wh-what..?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just saying. At least she can drink
<Kit> <Freyja> Of course she can. I used to syphon off any of the effects on her when I used to.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her next cup of whiskey, and taps the counter. "Nother one." 6* She says to the bartender
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sho, what do you do 'fer fun?
<Kit> <Freyja> Trick people into fighting amongst themselves.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph. I'll fight yoo if yoo want. 6* She notes, eyeing her now
<Kit> <Freyja> I don't think that'd be very fun.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Would 'fer me.
<Kit> <Freyja> Until you were thrown into the brig for beating down random PAX civilians.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... why would they be involved...?
<Kit> <Freyja> Chii doesn't fight fair. I really don't fight fair.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Boring.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe yer just afraid of physical contact. 6* She scratches Freyja's ear like one would a cat. Clearly trying to be condoscending
<Kit> <Freyja> We were taught that the interest level or the entertainment of a battle was far from its purpose. To accomplish your goal, the means are almost always meaningless. Even if you have to sacrifice something, even if you're hated. As long as you accomplish your means, then eventually you'll be remembered.
<Kit> 6Freyja shifts the ear down, twitching a little.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good philosophy.
<Kit> <Freyja> Thus, I'll just give you the vision that you're beating me up, when in reality you'd be striking at residents in this room, eventually subdued and tossed into the brig with longterm consequences. I win in the end. Severely.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then I guess I'm playing with someone elses' ear right now. 6* She continues to mess with it
<Kit> <Freyja> There's nothing in it for me, though. No reason to fight... You've done nothing wrong." 6She turns her head, staring at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heh. 6* She drops her hand at that last bit
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm no goddess, though. What a silly name I have... It's time to stop erasing parts of history I don't like. Maybe try writing some... Destruction and creation... intertwined... Keke..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You think you'd ever settle down and start a relationship with a man or woman? 6* She asks her, eyeing her as she gets more whiskey
<Kit> <Freyja> ..." 6She glances away, looking a bit pained.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't mean to be a bitch. I know what happened and all. Just - you know. Chii seeks that sort of thing. I wondered about you.
<Kit> <Freyja> I can't seem to forget him. At one point... I was looking forward to it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. Bound by the past.
<Kit> <Freyja> Is it strange...? If I think about it, either way he would have died a long time ago and I would still remain. Is it merely because he was killed so young and didn't die of age that I am so held to it?
<Kit> <Freyja> Because it was over me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. I'm sure McCormick could tell you why better than me.
<Kit> <Freyja> We've spoken.
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm stubborn.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You ask me, it's just easier.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> To hold him to some ideal than try to move on
<Kit> <Freyja> Maybe so... But I don't want to forget him, either.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Then don't forget him. Hell. I didn't love him, but I think about Warren sometimes. Doesn't mean I tossed out of my head what transpired between us just because I'm...doing other things. 6* She doesn't come out saying 'with Chii'.
<Kit> <Freyja> I understand what you mean-- But I did love him. He was the first person to love me for me. To ignore the things I was born with and never asked for. To ignore what I truly was and see the me behind it. ...People rarely do that.
<Kit> <Freyja> It's difficult to push that aside and look to someone else just because I feel lonely or disconnected.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twirls her glass, musing darkly. "That's nice you got to feel that." 6* She throws it back, looking like she might fall out of her chair at any moment. "Just because you loved him doesn't mean you can love again, or so I'm told. I don't know. Maybe you're right. One shot, that's it. No try overs. Tho
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Though I'm sure people today would accept you just fine. 6* Waves her hand at her own black lines. "I still get people hitting on me."
<Kit> <Freyja> Today is truly different. That's some of what made him so special.
<Kit> <Freyja> Yet people who can't see beyond themselves still exist. I won't name names.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She glances down. Perhaps thinking of herself in that category.
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes her. 1"...Like the one that shot me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chad? 6* She glances up. "Aya's his world."
<Kit> <Freyja> I understand perfectly. But I don't appreciate losing my life over being his scapegoat.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I use to try to kill him if it makes you feel better.
<Kit> 6Freyja frowns. 1"It doesn't... Killing needlessly is... wrong."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, I had reasons.
<Kit> <Freyja> I know for a fact that Aya would have been in nearly the same circumstances regardless of what happened. I had to find a method of saving her that didn't involve giving over the ability to enter hearts and manipulating spiritual entities... and eventually the power to devour them and evolve... willingly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. So is that why you hate being around Chad now?
<Kit> <Freyja> Honestly?
<Kit> <Freyja> It doesn't help, but no.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Then why>
<Kit> <Freyja> He reminds me of my father.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks
<Kit> <Freyja> They don't look anything alike, yet they share tendencies and habits. Ways of handling things... It ticks me off.
<Kit> <Freyja> That aura of indifference and coldhearted nature just... agitates me. Never mind when he actually speaks.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. And what did you see when you looked into me?
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Huh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can see auras and crap. What's mine look like?
<Kit> <Freyja> Heh. Another day, perhaps.
<Kit> 6Freyja smirks, leaning on the bar with both hands. 1"I'll let you see for yourself. When we return home."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... ....
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts, going for more whiskey by just slapping her hand down, too drunk to tap
<Kit> 6Freyja mumbles. 1"The most beautiful flowers are always deadly."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... huh? Who
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... huh? Who's a flower?
<Kit> <Freyja> Electrical affinity, huh..? Heheh...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... you saying I'm a deadly flower...?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her
<Kit> <Freyja> You're very beautiful. Don't you like being deadly?
<Kit> 6Freyja disappears.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She squints. "You think I'm beau--- Tch. Gone."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses down her credits, getting to her feet unsteadily.
<Kit> 6Freyja breathes across her ear, opposite side. 1"I'll entrust her to you, I suppose."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks a bit, turning around quickly.
<Kit> 6No one there.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... tch. Freakin' teleporters.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar frollics down a hallway, searching for easy women
<DeathStar> 6* After making sure no one is around, Cheryl leans against a wall, taking several breaths, as if she's out of breath despite not needing air
* Freyja has joined #taw
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Freyja returns to a part of the garden, attending the wilted
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, after having disposed of Megumi's body somewhere safe, has returned to the garden, where she leans against the trunk of a tree
* Freyja eyes Erevis arriving, forcing a smile.
<Freyja> Hello, Erevis. How do you do..?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers upward, returning the smile. "I am contemplating that perhaps I should not play physical games with Megumi Zhenmei anymore."
<Freyja> She get knocked out?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is correct.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. "She has a delicate head."
<Freyja> Mh. This is true.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How are you this evening?

<DeathStar> <Erevis> How are you this evening?
* X1 has joined #taw
<Kit> <Freyja> Honestly?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would be better suited if you were honest with the question
<Kit> <Freyja> A bit depressed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Why are you depressed? 6* She tilts her head
<Kit> <Freyja> Personal stuff. Nothing to worry about.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Would you like to sit with me?
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks once, then smiles coyly at her. 1"You don't mind?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No, I would not mind. 6* She nods to her
<Kit> 6Freyja abandons her self-imposed duty and moves toward Erevis, grinning, then twirls around and sets her back to the tree as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at her. "Can you communicate with plants?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Huh? No... why would I be able to do that?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I knew someone who could do such a thing. I merely wondered if you could do so as well
<Kit> <Freyja> Strange ability.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh? I think it would be nice. 6* She brushes her hand along the grass
<Kit> <Freyja> What would they say, you think?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> More water. More sunlight. 6* She nods, very serious in her response
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmm... 'To where dost I grow?'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Yes. I think most beings wonder that.
<Kit> <Freyja> 'Am I lone, for I cannot see? Am I beautiful and for whom do I bloom so brightly?'
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, peering at Freyja as she speaks more, her expression curious
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have a beautiful heart. 6* She states, simply, and smiles
<Kit> <Freyja> Huh...?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just nods. "Your words are very moving. I wish I could speak as such."
<Kit> 6Freyja frowns and hangs her head a bit, slumping to sit.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did...I offend you? 6* She asks, hesitantly.
<Kit> <Freyja> No. Not at all.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I...made you upset? Your posture changed.
<Kit> <Freyja> I just thought of some things. No worries.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Would you like...to discuss it?
<Kit> <Freyja> There's very little to discuss when I think of it in words.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. ... 6* She thinks hard, trying to come up with something to talk with Freyja about
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is your favorite season?
<Kit> <Freyja> Autumn.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmm. Why?
<Kit> <Freyja> Colours are vivid, the heat of summer has past. Winter may be coming, but the falling petals and seeds promise to begin again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Those are very good reasons."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I enjoy Winter.
<Kit> <Freyja> You like the snow, don't you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do. I find it to be pure.
<Kit> 6Freyja laughs softly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is funny? 6* She tilts her head, gazing at Freyja
<Kit> <Freyja> I thought you might say something like that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. I must really be predictable.
<Kit> 6Freyja jerks, then hangs her head. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will attempt to be less predictable. 6* She nods, as if making a vow
<Kit> <Freyja> I wasn't saying such things.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. ... I apologize

<Kit> <Freyja> I enjoy watching it fall. When I was little it was fun to play in.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I agree. It is very fun to play in. 6* She smiles, practically beaming.
<Kit> 6Freyja stares at Erevis, softening a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cups her hands together on her lap. "I find ice skating to be even more challenging and entertaining."

<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks around the hallways
<Dias`> 6Dias stands in one shops, talking to a guy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers into the shop, staring at Dias quietly, trying to listen in
<Dias`> 6It sounds like he's haggling a guy down on something
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr creeps up behind him
<Dias`> 6Dias slams his fist on the counter and points at the man, apparently getting into it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs him in a hug from behind. "My hero!"
* Kulix has joined #taw
<Dias`> <Dias> GACK! 6His eyes go wide from shock
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sold! 6* She tells the store keep, pumping one fist
<Dias`> 6Dias scowls in response as the guy nods and slides over a small crate.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What did we buy? 6* She asks, still hugging Dias with her arms, peering around him
* Kulix is now known as Nisa
<Dias`> <Dias> An overpriced case of graphic novels.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? 6* She leans around to try to open the crate
<Dias`> 6It' opens up and inside are graphic novels.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, you like comic books?
<Dias`> <Dias> Isn't it obvious? 6He quickly covers the case back up and slides the guy credits.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who are they for? You and Marcus?
<Dias`> <Dias> I do know how to read you know. 6He hrmpfs and picks the case up, albeit carefully
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I didn't mean it like that! I just didn't know if you and Marcus planned to share these! I didn't know you were collectors.
<Dias`> <Dias> Well besides me reading them. I've been trying to get X to read them.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. 6* She puts her hands behind her as she follows. "You never bought ME comics..."
<Dias`> <Dias> I didn't think you'd read them.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ouch. 6* She frowns sulkily. "And why's that?"
<Dias`> <Dias> I-I don't know. You just didn't seem like the comic book kinda girl.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. ... 6* She kicks at the ground as they walk. "What kind of girl do I seem like?"
* Nisa has left #taw
<Dias`> <Dias> I...Wait, this a loaded question isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If I was Cheryl, probably. But I really just wanna know.
<Dias`> <Dias> Oh. I don't know really. 6He shifts the case under his arm and rubs the back of his head. 1"One of those that cares more about others than herself."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hah. Nice. But totally doesn't tell me what kind of girl you think I am. I'm not a saint.
<Dias`> <Dias> Nor are you a sinner.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I am too a sinner! I can totally sin. Hoo boy. 6* She waves her hands wildly.
<Dias`> 6Dias laughs lightly. 1"You'll never reach my levels Zeph. That makes you a very special person
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I--can buy comic books...from shady people...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr drops her hands, her tone more muted, as that sounded lame
<Dias`> <Dias> ...When I hear you say that, it makes me wonder if I'll get this case back on the ship. 6He get's that worried look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Why? 6* She eyes him. "It's just comic books."
<Dias`> 6Dias blinks than coughs. 1"Uh yeah. Duh, what the hell was I thinking.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the box now
<Dias`> 6Dias eyes her, then the box than her again
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... ... there like porn in there?
* Nisa has joined #taw
<Dias`> <Dias> ...Why would I hide porn? 6He stares at her as if that's obvious
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... ... 6* She crosses her arms, pouting somewhat now. "Anyway. I totally would like to read a comic."
<Dias`> <Dias> Really? 6He looks at her curiously
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah!
<Dias`> 6Dias shifts the case and opens it, pulling one out and holding it out to her
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes it, peering at the cover
<Dias`> 6It's a comicbook, nuff said
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Cool. 6* She pauses, then slides it into her trench coat. "So, uh, Dias...doing anything today...?"
<Dias`> <Dias> Nothing illegal if that's what your getting at.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No! 6* She says sharper than she meant, then sighs. "I was wondering if you wanted to do something today."
<Dias`> <Dias> Oh, yeah I can do that. Marcus is too busy trying to get some last minute action.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Now now. They're boyfriend/girlfriend. They can do that. 6* She pauses, then sighs. "Do you think I don't show interest in men?"
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Dias`> <Dias> Well as huggy kissy as you are with Megumi...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sighs* I like to show affection. Maybe it's a side of effect of the bond, but you know what? Who cares. She loves Erevis, and we're not going to have sex. What I want to know if the honest truth.
<DeathStar> *is
<Dias`> <Dias> Well my lesdar doesn't seem to go off near you, but it hasn't really been working much lately. But, yeah I think you show interest in guys.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi mentioned how I don't seem like I'm looking for anybody. So I was wondering if I put out a bad vibe.
<Dias`> <Dias> It's Megumi. I personally dont' pay mind much what she says about people.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So...6* She eyes him again. "What should we do? Want to go eat somewhere? Or dancing?"
<Dias`> <Dias> Dance? I'm as white as they come. But I am hungry.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> As...white as they--6* She shakes her head. "Alright. So...what type of food do you want?" 6* She holds her hands behind her again.,
<Dias`> <Dias> I'm simple, as long as I can swallow it I don't have a problem
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Okay. Then meet me at the Italiaga in 15 minutes. 6* She waves her hands and skips back off. Letting Dias do what he will with his crate.
<Dias`> 6Dias eyes the crate than makes a mad dash for the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waits outside the resturant
<Dias`> 6Dias comes sliding up infront of the restaurant
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr beams. It seems she picked the fanciest resturant possible. There already several couples inside, dining. "Hey."
<Dias`> <Dias> This place looks fancy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets a bit red in the face. "Oh, I...just was in the mood for Italian and heard they ha-had great food."
<Dias`> <Dias> Well hopefully they let a guy like me in. 6He rubs the back his head, he's definetly not dressed for success
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr, herself, is still in her trench coat outfit, with the tactical suit under it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just waves her hand. "Sure. You got money, they accept." 6* She moves in, talking to a sniff greeter, and moves on to a table. The greeter eyes Dias
<Dias`> 6Dias gives the greeter his award winning smile, and some credits
<DeathStar> 6* The greeter nods, grabbing menus. "Right this way, sir."
<Dias`> <Dias> That's what I thought. 6He moves after him
<DeathStar> 6* The greeter places the menus on the table. "Any wine for this evening, sir?"
<Dias`> <Dias> Sure what the hell. I'm only at 140% anyways.
<DeathStar> <Greeter> Very good, sir. 6* He begins to name all the expensive wines that range in the 1000s of credits
<Dias`> <Dias> They all sound like crap. What about some good stuff?
<DeathStar> <Greeter> ... Shall I list the 5,000 credit wines?
<Dias`> <Dias> Cost doesn't make a wine good. 6He looks at Zephyr. 1"You even want wine?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh. I'll have whatever you want. It'll make me drunk either way. Lightweight here.
<Dias`> <DiaS> You want to get drunk?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh. Not drunk, drunk, no
<Dias`> <Dias> I'll have a glass of your boxed wine than.
<DeathStar> <Greeting> Very good. 6* He moves off.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cups her hands together, leaning forward, picking up the menu
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, um, see anything you want?
<Dias`> 6Dias grabs the menu and turns it upside down, eyeing it
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How do you readl ike that?
<Dias`> <Dias> How do I read like what? 6He lowers the menu, peering over it at Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Upside down.
<Dias`> <Dias> It's not upside down.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah it is. 6* She holds up her menus, then points at Dias'
<Dias`> <Dias> Huh...I never really thought about it I guess.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I mean, do you see everything upside in your head?
<Dias`> <Dias> No. I just look at the words and they don't seem right until I turn them upside down. 6He shrugs
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. You're like, um, a magnifying glass!
<Dias`> <Dias> I make things look bigger?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um, no, but I think it works upside down
<Dias`> <Dias> Oh. Well yeah, I guess I'm like a magnifying glass.

<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans back against the tree. "Have you ever ice skated?"
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Mm..? No... well. I have never.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should do so. Perhaps next winter, you will join me on the ice.
<Kit> 6Freyja stares at Erevis for a moment, then smiles gently. 1"...Mm.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmm. 6* She closes her eyes, relaxing a bit.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you think of the upcoming battle?
<Kit> <Freyja> What do you mean...?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was curious what your thoughts, in general, on the matter were.
<Kit> <Freyja> To what, exactly...? You're not asking me odds, are you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. I wonder how this battle will go - the Tsivrixsh Empire, held in thrall to the enemy. I hope many innocents do not have to die so that one race's ego is satisfied
<Kit> <Freyja> The tsivrixsh... their ego is a mainstay of their culture. Their pride is their greatest power, and likely their worst crutch.
<Kit> <Freyja> This is a path they chose, and therefore they have to take the hazards that come their way because of it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I suppose this true. ... though the Dark Ones are known to destroy entire planets to achieve their agendas. What of the civilians who had no part in this?
<Kit> 6Freyja winces. 1"It's a possibility the Tsivrixsh's history may be at its end. It would not be the first of this time, nor the last to speak of."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, troubled.
<Kit> <Freyja> What should survive usually has a way of finding a manner to live on, though.
<Kit> 6Freyja rests her head against the tree, closing her eyes. 1"The closer to the darkness we come, the more vivid light appears. In a nest of despair, hope is a powerful rarity."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. 6* She looks downward. "But whose hope...." 6* She mumbles, not sounding coherant in her thought
<Kit> <Freyja> The meek, of course. Whether it be us, or any lesser few of the Tsivrixsh who desire independence of their own thought and will. Perhaps Xrileshir isn't just a fluke of their miscreant behaviour."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is a strange one. He does not follow any Tsivrixsh pattern I have encountered before.
<Kit> <Freyja> That's for sure...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Though, Drasek does not fit most Progenitor behavior patterns. I imagine there are anamolies in all races.
<Kit> <Freyja> Mm, but not yourself?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...do not know. I believe myself to act more like them than he does.
<Kit> 6Freyja muses. 1"I would agree. What of your previous live-in, then?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My previous live in?
<Kit> <Freyja> If you'll forgive me, the one I led back to death's door.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi Zhenmei?
<Kit> 6Freyja opens one eyes and gazes at her, nodding.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I have not met many Famfrits. Though the other one we encountered seems quite distasteful in his manners and attitude.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Though I hope he will come to see what he has before him, and not what he has lost behind him
<Kit> 6Freyja looks ahead, gaining a distant expression. 1"Easier said than done, in some cases..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I agree. 6* She closes her eyes, clearly under that same problematic spell
<Kit> <Freyja> Best not to dwell. You end up like me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm? Like you? 6* She tilts her head, glancing at Freyja
* Kulix has joined #taw
<Kit> <Freyja> A pathetic being stuck on the past, seeing only the present world decay.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then leans closer to Freyja, studying her. "I do not believe you are a pathetic being at all." 6* She notes seriously.
<Kit> 6Freyja jerks a bit away from Erevis, blushing slightly. 1"..."
<Kit> <Freyja> You are much too kind.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe so. I speak only what I believe to be the truth. Your words, and ways, are quite beautiful.
<Kit> <Freyja> ..." 6She glances away, rubbing her cheek.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But that is what I believe. I suppose it matters what you believe, when it comes to yourself.
<Kit> <Freyja> Perhaps I should have more faith. Hee.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I find faith can sometimes work wonders.

<DeathStar> 6* The waiter returns with the wine. "Have you decided yet on a dish?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh...This one. 6He randomally jabs his finger at something.
<DeathStar> <Waiter> Very good random choice, sir. <Zephyr> I'll have the pasta. 6* He nods, taking the menus and moving off
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait...Asking for pasta works?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um. I guess so. He didn't really ask me which one I wanted.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll have to remember that. 6He grabs the wine and sniffs it.
<DeathStar> 6* It smells like it was randomly picked.
* Chad`Winters sits at a table on the observation deck, his datapad out before him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias wiggles his nose then takes a deep pull from it, the coughs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You okay?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This is what wine tastes like? 6He sets the glass down quickly, making a face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs, getting her own glass, taking a sip, then begins to cough and hack
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll stick with whiskey and beer I think.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Gah. Bitter.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Whiskey? It has a bite yes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I meant the wine. I don't know what whiskey tastes like
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Depends on which kind you drink. 6He reaches under his shirt and pulls out a small flask.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You..have whiskey on you right now?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What superhero doesn't?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh--Superman?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And you know this how?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because he's Superman!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If you had to go home to a girl like Lois Lane every day, you'd have whiskey on you too.
<Kit> Hancock was weird.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks around. 1"Did you hear something?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I can't believe someone said cock! 6* She turns red faced
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I'm curious as to why you'd pick up on that specific piece.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks than remouths what he said and smirks.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him. "I-I..that..."
* Chad`Winters opens the flask and pours some of the whiskey into the wine.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What...are you doing? 6* She makes a face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Whiskey fixes anything. 6He grabs the glass and stirs it with his finger
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Gross.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ut. 6He points at her than takes drink, licking his lips.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares at him, incredulously
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Eh, it'll do. 6He sats the whiskey wine down and leans back in his chair.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes another swallow of her wine, making a face. "So, uh.... How are..you lately?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I haven't committed any misdemeanors.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs. "I didn't say you did. You're beginning to sound guilty."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No I was actually stating it as badge of honor.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. I---okay.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What about you?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Good. I guess. Wondering what I should do if Erevis and Megumi get back to gether in a live in kind of way. I don't want to feel like a third wheel. Plus I somehow doubt sneaking into their bed at night would go over big...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? I'm sure Erevis would have no idea and Megumi would try to make a threesome.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She seems like a have your cake and eat it too kind of girl
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him. "Yeah. Sure. No."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well my lesdar's been on the fritze lately so I guess I can't back it up.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can say that Megumi is a one girl kinda girl. 6* She siggles. "But no, what I meant is Erevis sleeps in the nude, apparantly, so that would just be awkward if I slept walked into their bed."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh. Huh...6He scratches his nose. 1"Well you'll just have to find another bed to sleep walk into.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No one else lives at the house.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We'll have to buy you a giant life sized stuffed bear than.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? 6* She gets excited.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll be sure to get a girl one for you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-hey, what does that mean? 6* She eyes him as the food arrives
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well you're obviously used to cuddling a female life sized cat.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes his food as he rubs his hands together.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I--well. You're mean. 6* She sighs, taking a fork
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're calling the guy's who's buying you a giant life sized stuffed female bear mean?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Woman. 6He leans forward, sniffing his food.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Just remember who taught you how to use the bathroom properly. 6* She mumbles, taking a bite of her own food
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias freezes, he slowly looks up at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him, pausing in chewing
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let's not bring out the big guns here.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry. 6* She says quickly after swallowing, holding up her hands
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias let's out a sigh of relief and starts eating his food.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eats the food, slurping up some pasta
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eat's like he always does. Which is hardly a good thing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see you forgot the table manners.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops, a mouthful of food jammed into his...mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds up a fork and knife, giving him a bland look
<DeathStar> 6* Then begins to cut her pasta and take delicate bites
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias swallows it all, coughing afterwards.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sighs*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You would've yelled at me if I spit it out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Perhaps you should spend more time with me again so I can reteach you
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What's wrong with me eating?! 6He looks hurt
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well. You make the Tsivrixsh look neater.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Ouch.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry. But--you want to be neater, right? If not, I'll drop it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I thought I was perfect the way I was...6He looks confused.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sigh* Yeah. Sorry. Forget I mentioned it. Just try to eat slower or you'll choke.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll try. 6He slows his eating down, his secret plot to get her to give him mouth to mouth foiled
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *she smiles* So. After this war is over, I was wondering if you'd like to hang out more...together.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances off to the side, his hands moving to behind his head. He looks back over at Zephyr again. 1"Of course."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Great. 6* She relaxes, as if she just asked Dias something very personal.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> The war'll end one way or another soon.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Lets hope it ends well for us
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well, I'll be on the frontlines, so you know it'll end good.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah? I bet I'll get more Darkies than you
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You can try but I assure you. When it's all said and done. I'll have the highest count.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh? What do you want to bet then? You're a betting man, right? 6* She eyes him, determination burning brightly in her eyes
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans back, obviously the kind of guy who enjoys a good bet.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, what should we bet?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll be fair and let you go first.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I bet you---- 6* She considers. "If I win, that you have to come see me three times a week for three months on proper manners. You may be 'perfect' the way you are, but even a superhero can improve."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks, surprise on his face.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, looking worried
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just caught off guard. 6He rubs his chin now, thinking
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. Then I'll take that as a compliment for me. Go me. So, what's yours
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If I win. You have to shave your head bald.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares, her jaw opening, her face draining of color
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Kidding. If I win and I will. You have to do visit me at work wearing a sidekick outfit of my choosing for 2 months.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> God. It isn't going to be my bra and underwear only, is it?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I hope you like latex.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Fine. I'll take that bet. 6* She sighs, probably going to regret this. "Thank God I can shoot guns and snipe people from far away."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm sure Megumi'll tire you out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey. We're a quirky team. ... we'll prevail! 6* She notes dramatically
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Prevail doesn't mean you'll make it to the end.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... prevailing means exactly that! 6* She notes quickly and sharply
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe in your dictionary. But not mine.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So what does it mean by your dictionary?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let me check. 6He sits up and reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a small black book.
<Chad`Winters> 6
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You seriously have a dictionary on you?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flips through the pages, searching for something. 1"Yep."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're pretty...unique, Dias. 6* She says with fondness.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know. Hey you gotta pen on you? 6He holds his his left hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head no.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tisks. 1"Well it's not in my dictionary so it doesn't count."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That--what. No!@
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry. That's the rules.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who's rules? Yours? Well, by my rules, it means it because it's not there. So nyah! 6* She sticks out her tongue
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well yeah. That's why I asked for a pen.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hrmph. 6* She crosses her arms.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Either way Zeph. It's in my bag.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We'll see. I think I'll start first with the proper way of sitting.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flinces
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles, finishing the last of her pasta, then drinks all of her wine in one thing, making a face
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias downs his glass of whiskey wine.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yucky. 6* She pauses, turning to eye the waiter eyeing her - with that look of judging the common people
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the waiter than Zephyr than the waiter. 1"I've had whiskey that tasted better than this wine."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'd try it, but I think the wine is already going to my head
<DeathStar> 6* The waiter moves over with the bill. "Anything ... else?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nah I'm stuffed pops.
<DeathStar> <Waiter> Yes. Like a turkey. 6* He moves off to give them time to get the credits together
* Chad`Winters eyes the waiter than leans close to Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, leaning in a bit
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let's ditch this place.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "Kay."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up and stretches out as he gazes about for the evil waiter
<DeathStar> 6* The waiter appears to be talking to some customers
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gives Zephyr the thumbs up and starts moving for the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks panickedly, glancing around, then begins to follow
* Chad`Winters continues moving, acting all casual and cool like
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Oi...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows, jitterly. The waiter begins to turn in their direction, in slow-mo
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly makes a break for it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows panickedly. As they reach the door, the waiter glances about, eyeing their table
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns, opening the door with his back and shifting so Zephyr can get by
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slides outside into the hallway. "I can't believe we did this."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings out and shoves his hands in his pocket. 1"Really? Normally I convince them into giving me the meal free but, it's kind of hard when the dude's a guy."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I--seriously? How do you get free meals out of girls?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squints her eyes
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Easy. Flirt with them, tell them what they want to hear. Offer to buy them some drinks. Stuff like that.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh. Wow.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Or become a food critic. 6He glances off to the side. 1"They love to give free food to food critics."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A food critic with your manners? 6* She asks jokingly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias smiles and pulls out his black book again and fishes out a card stating he's a certified food critic.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, glancing at the card, then at him. "Hm. I think you'd be in jail if you weren't on this team."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What? I can criticize food.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That card is totally not legit
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's made on a holo card tho. It's totally legit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmmmm. Next set of proper teaching will be on criminal acts and why not to do them
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This coming from the girl who just skipped out on a bill.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Y-You started that! 6* She seems to get a bit colored in the cheeks, looking around panickedly for waiters with big noses
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're on the path to be like me now, Zephyr. 6He beams proudly and pats her shoulder as he stares ahead.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Am not! I'll---... 6* She just slumps. "I hope Megumi doesn't find out, or she'll spank me."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses in steps and blinks. He slowly looks over at Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She looks depressed at the idea
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait...You're serious?!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. 6* She eyes him with a wince. "And I'm not talking anything perverted."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Dude you're bigger than her. Why are you letting her spank you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not that much bigger!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Man, how embarrassing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Tch. Maybe I should spank you for stealing food from poor snobby waiters.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You could, but I'd find a way to enjoy it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Perv.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Spanking...Really? 6He looks at her again
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'd use a stick. From a far distance. In lots of clothing.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> God, now I can't lose to you. Like hell I'd want to be in the same place as her if she spanks a person for being bad.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ha ha. 6* She giggles. "I see now where we went wrong with you."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at her confused. 1"Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We didn't spank you enough when you were with us on the colony.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well Cheryl really just beat me so...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She does that. Should have seen her the first time I did something bad... 6* She begins to have a flashback
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snaps his finger infront of her as she starts to zone out.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snaps back in before the flashback wavey lines can begin. "Huh?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You were getting all...reminiscently
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. Sorry.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's alright. It happens.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What were we talking about>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Megumi spanking you wearing a frilly cat outfit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> W-What? She does not! 6* She eyes him with a glare.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What does she wear when she spanks you?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, you know, leather and whips
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's like she's a cat version of Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ha ha ha. Cat version of Cheryl. That's funny
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wouldn't be surprised. I mean, hell we got a fox demon on our team. You got a cat girl on your's. And I have no idea what Freyja is besides annoying.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She's comic relief.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? Someone has a poor sense of humor than.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Heh. It is funny if you think about it. An Alpha on each team, a Weapon on each team, an animal 6* She uses her fingers figuratively. "On each team. You just lack a Progenitor on yours."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well unless you guys planning on giving us Erevis, it'll stay that way. We already have one drunk on our team...Two drunks.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ok so most of us are drunks.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not. 6* She giggles, clearly under the influence.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, you're just a light weight.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey. I can't help it that I'm small.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You ever send naughty images to Megumis head through that...6He just points at his head.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, heh heh...6* She chuckles nervously
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You do!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's because she reacts hilariously!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr says defensively
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Is there anyother reason?!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Absolutely not!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh you're so on the right path to be just like me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, great. Now I really feel dirty.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lifts his hands up, eyeing them as they walk now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She cups her hands together in front of her as she walks. "So....what should we do now?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns his hands arond, eyeing them. He shakes his head and looks at her. 1"Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, we've eaten. What should we do now?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh...Well swimmings out the question.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Well. IF you wanted me to drown. Yeah.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You don't even breath.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. Good point.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I remember the PAX2 even very well Zephyr. And not because I tied a naked Marcus to a diving board.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, geeze. I remember that. 6* She puts a hand to her face
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He still hates it when I bring that up.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He said he wouldn't talk to you again
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That was the idea.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And now we's my sidekick. Weird how that works, eh?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Very weird. Why did he forgive you?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not sure really. Fate? I mean, that's how sidekicks meet up with the main hero isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. 6* Something tells her John called Dias a sidekick a lot
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I still can't believe Adam picked him to train him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's because Adam had a crush on him, right?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well Billy did...But that...Yeah, Adam had a crush on him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. Hee hee. That's funny
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> To think Billy taught Marcus how to take girls clothes off in one move.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe she wanted him to take her clothes off
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Marcus has a habit of breaking underage girls' hearts
<Kit> 6Freyja takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, as if exerting the effort to drop a burden. 1"Well, then, Erevis. Where does your faith lie in the upcoming?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. Well, maybe he'll be happy now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe in my friends and allies. My faith is with them. No matter the outcome.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He'll probably screw it up. 6He sighs
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Come on. You're his friend. Believe in him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He does'nt need me to believe in him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe not, but I know I'd like it if someone rooted for me to succeed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll always root for you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah? Thanks. 6* She closes her eyes, practically beaming
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But not to beating me in the upcoming battle.
<Kit> <Freyja> Mm... And if I told you it made them stronger if you had faith in them, especially to succeed?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey! I'm gonna beat you. And then I'll root for you to succeed in manner classes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm stubborn when I want to be. You'll never break me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I would gladly give that strength. I--have held back too much. I desire to believe in my friends to find a way to overcome any obstacle
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We'll see. Maybe I'll use a whip on you, like Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You wouldn't want to.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Perv.
<Kit> <Freyja> I am sure there is someone close to you that would love to hear that.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Then I will be sure to speak from my heart to that person."
<Kit> <Freyja> Heheh. That's ironic.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is? 6* She blinks, confused
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just smirks
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmh. The very setting I learned of that person's strangeness was in the quarters of your heart, however closed off it was.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She frowns, looking a bit ashamed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias runs his hands along his head.
<Kit> <Freyja> That person is a weak being that seems to gain strength immensely from the desire to create improbabilities. How sweetly ironic that you opened up to her, and would speak from that heart. It's fitting enough.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess I should get some sleep.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You that drunk?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. No, not really. Is there something you wanted to do?
<Kit> 6Freyja tilts her head and peers at Erevis. 1"How you feel has always been a bit confusing though. Loyalties and emotions wrapped up in not just that one, but another. One should be rather bewildered to look at it and say that I understand it in the least."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shrugs.
<Kit> <Freyja> Is it possible to love once lost?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She says without a hesitation. "I did not know love until I became part human. And even then it felt very ... unnatural and weak. But, --- I am glad I felt it. That people would not give up on me. It may be difficult, at times, but I do not think it is bad. I think the world could use more love; people should always be loved and, in return, love. At least I believe so.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him, leaning forward. "You're boring."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cold.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Just sayin'. The eve before our greatest battle, and you shrug.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah well what would you want to do for fun? Hmmm?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I would like--- .... to... dunno. 6* She shrugs
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> The eve before our greatest battle and you shrug.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Pooface. 6* She says, sticking out her tongue
Session Close: Tue Jul 08 00:00:00 2008
Session Start: Tue Jul 08 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #taw
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes a face, hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles, punching his arm with no strength. "Kidding. You're not a pooface."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes an oww face and looks downn at his arm. He starts rubbing it
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... if that hurt, you must be at %60
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I was trying to make you feel better. 6He shifts his shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ha ha. Ha. 6* She puts her hands into her trench coat. "After this is all over, maybe me, you, and Marcus should do something together, like old times."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Perfect. You both can wear sidekick outfits
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, and I'll make you wear tweed since I'm going to win
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Tweed?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, nerds wear it. It'll go with you learning manners.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ha. Like hell.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We'll see!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just laughs now
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him laugh, then kicks at the floor. She'll blow up so many Dark Ones, his head will spin
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his hands behind his head now, resting them there.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, Dias. I'm going to sleep, so I can shoot more than you. 6* She points at him. "No hard feelings when you lose."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well you will need all the sleep you can get if you wanna keep up wtih me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hrmh! 6* She sticks out her tongue, then runs off down the hall, turning and shouting out. "Don't forget my bear." 6* And then she runs on
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias goes to tell her to meet up with him later but sighs and turns, walking off
<Kit> 6Freyja squints at Erevis. 1"So resolute, people these days. What happened to the daydreamers with nothing more than pockets full of hopes and wishes that a brighter tomorrow would surely come..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hangs upside down near Dias
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not know about those days
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses, sniffing the air
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leans forward. "Dias and Zephyr, si-t---okay, maybe not.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Billy. 1"Billy and Marcus, si-t...oh right. Too young."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, he's so last season. Anyway. I peaked into your crate.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' eyes go wide. 1"Sshh.."
<DeathStar> <Billy> What? It was just comics. 6* She grins
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You better not have taken the rare comics. 6He looks at her.
<DeathStar> <Billy> No, just the liqour
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias narrows his eyes at Billy. 1"That cost me a fortune."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Really? It didn't taste that good.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...You know what? I was soooo going to use me skills to make you older. But now, I'm gonna waste it to trim my own toenails
<DeathStar> <Billy> Ha! I didn't drink it. I'd be passed out for days
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lets out a huge sigh of relief.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You should have gone for more King Red's Fruit. Then you could have made a harlem
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And have to take care of all those woman? Too much work.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy laughs, pulling out her tape recorder. She plans to use that line to her advantage
* Exio has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls his eyes. 1"Yeah. Like I'm worried."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Aw. Not even a little?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pfft. I'll just make myself invisible.
* Kulix has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Billy> Okay. Try right now
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias crosses his arms then tries.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Clearly my body knows not to waste energy when it's not needed.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah. Sure that's what it means. 6* She falls from the ceiling and lands
* Exio is now known as Kulix
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like you'd know.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hm. We'll see. 6* She notes mysteriously
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at her, not following along
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well. 6* She bows politely. "Good night, Dias." 6* She pulls out the hidden object Dias put in the crate, or what looks like it, and moves off with it, casually
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias reaches over to snatch it back away from her
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds on with a death grip, but is jerked back toward Dias
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at her. 1"I've got plans for this baby, which means you can't steal it."
<DeathStar> <Billy> What plans? I want in
<Kit> <Freyja> Might I treat you to something, Erevis?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This puppy'll be a great way to celebrate our upcoming victory. I figured it'd be nice to buy something that could get everyone drunk.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Treat me to something? That would be kind of you. I would accept.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, okay. 6* She lets go.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll even give you some. 6He holds out his fists for knocks
<DeathStar> <Billy> Of course, if you die, we'll use it to toast your life
<DeathStar> 6* Billy does the terrorist jab
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...6He pauses, staring at Billy.
<DeathStar> <Billy> It would be a shame to let it go to waste
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll be sure to drink it in my finest moment than. To make that flame burn bright.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You seriously plan to carry that into battle?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well yeah.
<DeathStar> <Billy> If you die, we lose it
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If I die, I'll drink it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You can't drink it if you're dead.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Besides, I promised X I'd come back so she could try to kill me. I ain't gonna die.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hm. Alright. But if you break your promise and X rampages through the base, I'm telling everyone you did it
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Fair enough.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles at him. "You're my hero." 6* She waves and skips away
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias beams proudly and walks off.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleeeeeeeeeep
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, dusting her kimono off
<Kit> 6Freyja nods, then rises, moving over to some plants in a corner and carefully plucking off some broad leaves.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows
<Kit> 6Freyja rolls them into a conical shape and then holds them between her fingers, holding up her other hand and forming a line of blueish light, drawing it over them and slowly creating layers of snow-like ice.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks on, surprise covering her typically stoic face. She tilts her head, watching curiously
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles at Erevis as she finishes filling them, then moves over to the tree again and eyes upward, looking for something.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the ice curiously, almost like a child
<Kit> 6Freyja nods at something, then lifts up to the branches, fiddling with something among them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers back at Freyja, then up
<Kit> 6Freyja drops down after a moment, swatting a bug away. 1"Heheh, stubborn things..."
<Kit> <Freyja> Here.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
<Kit> 6Freyja hands one of the 'snowcones' to Erevis, topped with semi-amber seeping into the ice.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, taking it in hand, peering at it. She looks at Freyja. "You are quite amazing."
<Kit> <Freyja> Honey is rather amazing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then tentatively licks it
<Kit> 6Freyja tentatively nibbles at her own, licking some of the excess.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to eat the snowcone, making a pleasant expression
<Kit> <Freyja> Do you like it..?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is wonderful. Thank you very much. 6* She bows her head
<Kit> 6Freyja nods, smiling softly. 1"Sometimes the simplest things are best."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are correct.
<Kit> <Freyja> Mm... neutral is at its end...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm?
<Kit> <Freyja> I don't believe I can sit back and watch things occur anymore. I was obsessed at one point with keeping anything and everything in check, but perhaps it was my own deceitful delusions that led me to believe everything had its purpose. As we meet the Dark Ones soon... I think they've overstayed their welcome and I intend to do something about it if I can.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. "I am glad."
<Kit> <Freyja> Besides...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
<Kit> <Freyja> They are responsible for harming my angelic little sister. Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. That would be indeed be reason for doing something
<Kit> 6Freyja sets the rest of her 'cone' at the base of the tree, since none of the ingredients will harm anything after melting. She takes a deep breath and leans against the tree again. 1"I feel much better."
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis finishes her, smiling a bit. "I am glad."
<Kit> 6Freyja eyes Erevis. 1"Do you intend to remain here..?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I should probably go to my room soon.
<Kit> <Freyja> I will accompany you if you like.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, smiling. "I would enjoy your company very much." 6* She moves from the garden at a leisurely pace
<Kit> 6Freyja rises to walk with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers from side to side as they walk. "The PAX has changed over time, since leaving EarthGov's hands, though I am glad some things are unchanged."
<Kit> <Freyja> I know what you speak of, but perhaps you could elaborate?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The garden remains pleasantly unchanged, and the bar is the same, despite the lack of Terra Kershaw. Those were I spent most of my time, when I was once on the station; besides the room I used
<Kit> <Freyja> Why is it you like the garden..?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It reminds me of someone, for one thing, but I have always enjoyed it. I---the feel of grass, the smell of flowers, the lack of thoughts. I find it...wonderful.
<DeathStar> -PAUSE-
