[20:01] <13@DeathStar> 1
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> -0-
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.4.13 - 2 days later -
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> Location: Ruins of Robo Mama's House
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the burnt remains of the house that belonged to the team under Cassandra. There's no signs of the cyborg - not even her remains.
[20:02] <13SPoC> 6Dias shuffles some ruins with his feet.
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you just left her here?
[20:02] <13Dawn> <Chii> Overkill, much?
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X rummages about where her room was at once, getting belongings
[20:03] <13SPoC> <Dias> X couldn't locate her and we didn't have the option to unbury an entire building to find her.
[20:03] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Please do not fault Dias. We were, after all, under siege.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thus endeth the lesson of superheroics
[20:04] <13SPoC> 6Dias glances at Cheryl. 1"Ya happy now?" 6He walks across the debris.
[20:04] <13Dawn> <Chii> One of those golems was here.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, in any event, if Cassandra survived, she was probably captured.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X pulls out a metal case and holds onto it
[20:06] <13SPoC> 6Dias grabs the edge of some debris and flips it over, sighing. 1"This sucks."
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, time to get ready for Paladin's funeral. If you all want to grab some belongings, do it now.
[20:06] <13Dawn> <Chii> I don't get it. They're not Ridariums, right? How do they... move?
[20:07] <13Dawn> 6Chii crosses her arms. 1"I guess as one of the spirits in this world I shouldn't be picky about what exists and what doesn't-- yet it's so weird. Golems that actually move on magic and darkness?"
[20:07] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks over at X now. 1"You get everything you wanted?"
[20:07] <13Dawn> 6Lilith stares around X. 1"What is that?"
[20:08] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel gathers up the little things she has, looking over the remains sadly.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes. It's my money
[20:08] <13Dawn> 6Lilith looks to Dias after reeling from what the tube was. 1"It seems you have lost your precious magazines, Dias."
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers about; even Marcus' house has holes in it from the fight.
[20:08] <13Dawn> <Chii> Kat's going to be pissed.
[20:09] <13SPoC> 6Dias smirks slightly than looks over at Lilith. 1"Eh, better the magazines that you guys."
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm sure Jones will soothe her with his penis
[20:09] <13Dawn> 6Chii nudges Cheryl. 1"We should say Dias did it."
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> <X> He did make some of the holes.
[20:09] <13Dawn> 6Lilith blinks a few times, apparently not expecting that answer.
[20:09] <13SPoC> <Dias> I already paid for those holes.
[20:09] <13Dawn> <Chii> Heheh.
[20:10] <13Dawn> 6Chii grins smugly. 1"I just want to see her go psychic on his ass.
[20:10] <13SPoC> <Dias> And the hell if I care. The first one was worth it. I was able to jump across the roof tops.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl cranes her neck, then heads back for the van
[20:11] <13Dawn> 6Lilith peers at X, looking somewhat annoyed. 1"I believe Dias has said something nice."
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> <X> And that is bad?
[20:12] <13Dawn> <Lilith> It makes it more difficult to consider him lowly and dumb.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets in the driver's seat, honking the horn
[20:12] <13SPoC> 6Dias hops off the house and onto the grass and moves to the backyard. He unhooks his punching bag, and shifts it onto his back and starts moving to the front and the van itself
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <X> I don't see the difficulty.
[20:13] <13Dawn> 6Lilith scowls at nothing. 1"It deserves respect."
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Leave the bag.
[20:13] <13SPoC> 6Dias pauses, eyeing Cheryl. 1"Whatever." 6He drops it, causing it thud hard into the ground.
[20:14] <13Dawn> <Chii> You don't want him to carry around a lead weight?
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want the van to sink into the ground
[20:14] <13Dawn> <Chii> Crummy van...
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heavy bag.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> Location: Cemetary
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander stands in front of the grave of Gordon Paladin, a picture of him set up, and the casket empty, since there's no body to bury. Alexander makes his best speech for the cameras; Cheryl tugs at her dress uniform annoyedly.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in a seat, wearing a black dress, silent. X is busy counting money in her seat, paying the proceedings little mind.
[20:16] <13SPoC> 6SPoC sits quietly, dressed in her uniform.
[20:17] <13SPoC> 6Dias tugs at his collar, in uniform, except for the brown tattered headband
[20:17] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus is wearing a suit, traditional funeral attire. He sits beside Katrina, arms crossed as he eyes the ground in front of his seat.
14[20:17] * Myria (Psy@h40.226.140.67.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
15[20:17] * 13@Jennifer` fixes her own uniform a little, wearing a trainee's uniform and sitting next to Natalie, she listens to Cran with a sullen look on her face.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> In the end, General Paladin succeeded in his duties for the planet he loved so. He is a hero. 6* He finishes and steps away.
[20:18] <13Dawn> 6Chii stands beside Cheryl in kid form, dressed up much like Billy usually is. Hey, it works.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs a bit, leaning back. A few more minutes pass as they finish the traditions of burying an officer, and everyone gathered rises to their feet.
[20:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron sits there quietly, wearing his Erusian uniform. When everyone begins to rise. He does as well, although a bit slower than normal.
[20:19] <13SPoC> 6Dias stands up, nudging X as he rises
[20:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus blinks slightly at everyone moving and glances around, mimicing them.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander moves over to Cheryl and the others. "I've scheduled a meeting to take place at the Executive Building. Everyone involved with the military is required to show up.
15[20:20] * 13@Jennifer` rises, watching the proceedings, wiping a tear away a bit.
[20:20] <13Dawn> 6Lilith nods her head, keeping a silent prayer.
[20:20] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel stands solemnly, her head hung sadly.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks over at Dias now, then peers about, then stands up.
15[20:20] * 13SPoC rises herself now
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets to her feet, rubbing her eyes some.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure. 6* She nods to Cran, and Alexander moves off.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What next? A giant meteor heading for Earth? 6* She asks sarcastically
[20:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances to Katrina and rubs her back slightly, comforting her.
[20:21] <13SPoC> 6Dias glances at Cheryl. 1"Easy."
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Chii. "Anyway, while I deal with this, keep an eye on Lemon and Ben for me."
[20:22] <13Dawn> <Chii> Eh? I'm not coming?
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cran's choice of words were pretty clear.
[20:22] <13Dawn> 6Lilith lifts her head and moves behind X.
[20:22] <13Dawn> <Chii> Actually it was kind of vague. There's lots of people 'involved' in the military that aren't recruits..
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* X puts the credits back into her box, adjusting her uniform collar
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe so. But if he wanted all of us, he could have just said, "All of you show".
[20:23] <13SPoC> <Dias> I'm pretty sure it still involves VI.
[20:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron shifts slightly. 1Hmm. I am curious if I fall under the criteria of military personnel. 6He stands there slightly then shakes his head. 1No. I do not believe so.
15[20:24] * 13@Jennifer` looks at Natalie quietly.
[20:24] <13Dawn> <Chii> Let's go, Theron. We rejects aren't invited.
[20:24] <13SPoC> 6SPoC is her usual quiet self, most likely used to having to see her comrades buried.
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, then grabs her ear and pinches it
[20:24] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> It is a small price to pay, Miss Chii. 6He says with a nod.
09[20:25] <13@Jennifer`> "You okay...?"
[20:25] <13Dawn> 6Chii pauses, spotting something or someone-- then shaking her head as it disappears. She flails as Cheryl grabs her ear and wails.
[20:25] <13SPoC> Yes.
15[20:25] * 13@Jennifer` looks back at the burial and sighs a little, she isn't.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's what I do to rejects.
[20:26] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I guess I'll go back and try to get our house fixed. If you need my help Dias, give me a call. I guess eventually I should schedule a meeting with Cran. But he's a pretty busy guy.
[20:26] <13SPoC> 6Dias rubs the back of his neck as he looks over at Marcus. 1"Will do man."
[20:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron puts his hands to his ears, then pauses and realizes Cheryl is just teasing Chii and coughs, lowering his hands.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, lets go see what the bastard wants. 6* She says to Dias, turning to move for a car.
[20:27] <13SPoC> <Dias> If you need some credits, take them from the fortress of manitude.
[20:27] <13Dawn> <Chii> Hrmph! Hurry home, Cherry!
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:27] <13Dawn> 6Chii runs over to Theron and peers up at him, blinking as she notices him releasing guard on his ears, then snickers, putting her hands behind her head.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran sits on one of the side of a table, facing those who are in the military currently - Raquel, X, "Lilith", Dias, Xanatos, SPoC.
[20:29] <13SPoC> 6Dias leans his seat back on it's rear legs, balancing himself. SPoC sits quietly, her hands folded before her on the table as she waits
[20:29] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel stand formally... though she doesn't look at Cran.
15[20:29] * 13@Xanatos sits to the left of everyone, left arm resting on the table as he leans into it, peering at Cran.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs the side of her face as lets Alexander diddle with his datapad. Finally he sets it aside. <Alexander> After the virus outbreak, there's obviously still concerns out there about the Dark Ones. People are getting their technology and using it. So I'm going to reopen the Anti-Dark Ones Special Unit.
[20:30] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yeah? So this means we get our own base again?
15[20:31] * 13@Xanatos nods once. 1Good idea.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. I'm going to reopen your old base.
[20:31] <13SPoC> <Dias> Can I have a Dias modified training room installed?
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> No.
[20:32] <13SPoC> 6Dias sighs. 1"Lame..."
[20:32] <13@Xanatos> There are quite of bit of our friends and allies that aren't here. Are you going to allow them to volunteer their servies again?
[20:32] <13@Xanatos> NRP: services.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I'm not at this time. I want it strictly run by our military.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at the table, not really listening. Cheryl leans back in her seat.
15[20:33] * 13@Xanatos glances around at those in the room and then nods once. 1Smaller groups are easier to manage.
[20:34] <13SPoC> <Dias> Well that sucks.
[20:34] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly, accepting this without question
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Perhaps so. But I'm giving you all the option to leave the military if you want to.
15[20:35] * 13@Xanatos arches a brow, tilting his head oddly, getting a slightly confused look. 1Well I didn't expect that. To say the least.
[20:35] <13SPoC> 6Dias raises a brow, setting his chair down now. 1"What's the catch?"
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> There's no catch. Only people who want to serve in the unit should be in it.
[20:36] <13SPoC> <Dias> Huh...
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> But the decision should be made now
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers side to side at everyone
[20:37] <13@Xanatos> Put me wherever you need me. If I can help, then I want to make a difference.
[20:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> Well I've got to deal with VI one way or another so you can count me in.
[20:37] <13SPoC> <SPoC> I will stay in.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'll remain.
[20:37] <13Dawn> 6Lilith just stands off to the side.
[20:37] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks over at X. 1"Sure about this?"
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <X> Are YOU sure about it?
[20:38] <13SPoC> 6Dias smirks. 1"For once, yeah." 6He holds his fist out to her for a terrorist fist jab*
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Very well. General Cheryl, with the death of General Paladin, you'll be in charge of the unit. 6* Cheryl jerks at that one. X eyes Dias' fist, then puts her fist out
[20:39] <13SPoC> 6Dias and moves his hands behind the back of his neck, glancing at Cheryl. 1"Well atleast we're in capable hands."
15[20:40] * 13@Xanatos watches Cheryl and Cran, drumming his fingers slightly, thought not to the point that it would be loud and annoying.
[20:40] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel is not remotely surprised that Cheryl is put in charge, but she still feels bad about Paladin
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not sure I'm the best candidate. <Alexander> You'll do fine. Family will be allowed on the base as always - and since Chii is your family, she can be on the base. Just make sure she doesn't kill anyone that shouldn't be killed, or the legal problems will fall on your shoulders.
[20:41] <13SPoC> <Dias> Fancy that. 6He eyes Alexander now
[20:41] <13SPoC> <Dias> Marcus is my family.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Show me recorded proof that you're fucking him in the ass, and plan to marry him, and I will grant his stay.
[20:42] <13SPoC> <Dias> Really?
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias now
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. And I'll know if the video is faked. 6* He adds dryly.
[20:43] <13SPoC> 6Dias glances up to the side, his hand stroking his chin.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* X leans toward Lilith. "Does Dias and Marcus do that sort of thing? And why the butt?"
[20:43] <13Dawn> <Lilith> I do not know..
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> In any event, I'm having equipment reinstalled into the base. You should all be able to move in tomorrow.
[20:44] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, doing her best not to think about Dias and Marcus
[20:44] <13SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head, clearly exiting daydream mode.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once. "And if Dias does send you a video, I'd like to see it."
[20:45] <13SPoC> <Dias> Sorry Cheryl. I'd never let you watch it.
03[20:45] * Jackieness (Psy@h246.3.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[20:45] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm the unit commander. I won't let Marcus in if I don't see it.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl notes.
[20:46] <13SPoC> <Dias> But how to get around superhero in training rule #12a....
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander gets to his feet, picking up his datapad.
[20:47] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...notgoingtothinkaboutit... notgoingtothinkaboutit..."
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> Location: Temporary Hotel Quarters
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* A Hotel has had rooms paid for those who need a place to stay in the aftermath of the Viral Exodus outbreak. PEople like Theron and Myria even have a room here at this time, as does Lemon and Ben. Ben is sitting on the floor of their room, playing with a truck. Katrina is outside, looking at the sky.
03[20:48] * Jackieness is now known as Myria
[20:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron sits in the lobby, reading over his datapad.
[20:49] <13SPoC> 6Dias leans over a railing, peering down at the pool, wearing training shorts and the brown headband.
15[20:49] * 13@Myria stays in the room that she shares with Theron.
[20:49] <13SPoC> 6SPoC sits quietly across from Theron, her drawing pad infront of her.
[20:49] <13Dawn> 6Chii sits on the bed, eyeing Ben, swaying where she sits.
[20:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps outside, peering over towards Katrina. 1Ah, there you are. 6He moves closer towards her. 1Everything ok?
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works on her datapad, having been busy since she got back. She's on the bed, legs crossed as she sits there
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm? Yes. I hear they're reopening the unit.
15[20:50] * 13@Jennifer` knocks on the door to the room Ben and Chii are in.
[20:51] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah I heard. 6He rubs the side of his face. Not telling her about Dias' plan.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't look up from her datapad. "Whoever it is, go away."
09[20:51] <13@Jennifer`> "...Kay." *she sighs a bit and starts down the hall*
[20:52] <13Dawn> <Chii> Huh. It was Jen.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh.
[20:52] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers up slightly tilting his head slightly. 1Hmm. I believe you should get my good side. 6He notes in a mild joke, having been trying to be more upbeat since waking up in the medbay.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Plan to join the military?
[20:52] <13Dawn> 6Chii hops down and moves to the door, peering out. She whistles after Jen.
[20:53] <13SPoC> SPoC glances up, blinking. 1"Oh. I apologize, I was not drawing you this time."
15[20:53] * 13@Jennifer` blinks and turns around, looking at Chii. "Mmm? It's alright then?"
15[20:53] * 13@Jennifer` starts back towards her, putting a hand in the pocket of her jeans.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes an annoyed face.
[20:54] <13SPoC> 6Dias shifts his hand down towards the main floor, his thumb held up as he eyes it. He glances at the pool then at the railing
[20:54] <13Dawn> <Chii> Is what alright?
[20:54] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Joining the unit is one thing. I could do that. But if I join the military, they can put me where they want and I can't do much about it. I don't like that at all. We've got a home now...it's a bit holey, but it's still our home. I just don't think I could be a full military grunt.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Then you wouldn't miss helping Dias?
09[20:55] <13@Jennifer`> "I-If I stopped by..." *she looks at Chii a bit*
[20:55] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Ah I see. I apologize for the joke. 6He bows his head slightly, then looks back to his datapad.
[20:56] <13Dawn> <Chii> You already did. But if you're asking if you can come in--" 6She just leaves the door open and returns to the bed, sitting.
[20:56] <13SPoC> <SPoC> It is alright. While I do enjoy drawing you, I have a need to draw pictures of Paladin so that I do not forget him.
15[20:56] * 13@Jennifer` takes that as a yes and steps inside, closing the door behind her gently.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up. "I'm going to work outside." 6* She walks past JEnnifer and opens the door, exiting, and closing it behind her
[20:57] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves to the hotel rooms wall and presses against it.
[20:57] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I planned on talking to Cran. I doubt he'll change his mind, but I want to help. I'm just not willing to give up my life, our life, for it. So maybe I can work something out.
15[20:57] * 13@Jennifer` blinks a little and watches her go, she looks to Chii. "Did I... upset her?"
[20:57] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Hmm yes. That is a very good idea.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches Ben carefully as he plays. "She does not like you."
[20:58] <13SPoC> 6Dias claps his hands together and dashes forward to the railing, leaping on it and kicking off with his foot towards the pool.
15[20:58] * 13@Jennifer` frowns a little. "She told me that a long time ago. Usually she tolerates me though."
15[20:59] * 13@Jennifer` moves over to sit near Ben.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Your actions on Erusia have made Ben a mute.
[20:59] <13SPoC> 6Dias flips in the air and comes crashing down into the pool, ala cannonball maneuver.
15[20:59] * 13@Jennifer` blinks a bit and looks over at her. "I..." She looks over at Ben quietly.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a seat by the pool, after the splash, taking a seat
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ben keeps playing with his truck, ignoring Jen
09[21:00] <13@Jennifer`> "...There's no excuse... it was my fault."
[21:01] <13SPoC> 6Dias resurfaces, shaking the water off his head.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods once, peering down at the pool
[21:02] <13SPoC> <Dias> And the crowd goes wild. 6He begins hooing.
[21:02] <13Dawn> <Chii> Mm, I'm not sure that's quite right.
15[21:03] * 13@Xanatos glances at her, then the pool, he frowns slightly. 1What do you want? 6He says after a minute.
15[21:03] * 13@Jennifer` looks up at her. "I brought him along... I shoulda run and hid somewhere."
[21:04] <13Dawn> <Chii> We told you to stay with Theron.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Me? 6* She blinks a few times, glancing at him. "A normal life, I guess."
09[21:04] <13@Jennifer`> "Well... yeah."
[21:04] <13Dawn> 6Chii shrugs. 1"You stayed with Theron. A bit too freakin' long, but you stayed with him. Ben's safe-- despite mental illness."
[21:04] <13SPoC> 6Dias swims over to the side of the pool and pulls himself out of it, shaking himself dry as he stands up
[21:04] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> So that means you would rather me continue with my restaurant plans and give up on all of this.
[21:05] <13SPoC> <SPoC> How are you recovering?
[21:05] <13Dawn> <Chii> I'm sure Cherry just needs to blame someone for the effects. Okami knows she blamed herself for everything forever before.
[21:05] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron glances up slightly then peers back down. 1My wounds have recovered very well.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina hesitates. "I don't want you to do what you don't feel is right. But at the same time, I'm not sure if I want to be involved in these incidents any more. I'm 30 years old. I'd like to begin a family."
[21:05] <13Dawn> 6Chii points at Jennifer threateningly. 1"You could have, like, exited the scene a little faster, though. Christ."
15[21:06] * 13@Jennifer` sighs a little. "He's my brother... I shoulda thought more about it." *She nods in agreement*
[21:06] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks up at the various floors. 1"I wonder how big of a splash I'd make on the 8th floor..."
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches into her uniform, pulling out a flask and drinking it
[21:06] <13Dawn> <Chii> Brother aside.
09[21:06] <13@Jennifer`> "Well... half brother... by technicality..."
[21:06] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I could say, "After VI". But before I said, "After Legion" and that wouldn't really be fair to you.
[21:07] <13SPoC> <SPoC> That is good. Were you able to find the revenge you were looking for?
[21:07] <13Dawn> 6Chii hops down to her feet, crossing her arms and trying to look imposing-- despite being kid form. 1"I think it's about time you decided for yourself."
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> There will always be another enemy, Marcus. And you'll always want to fight it.
15[21:07] * 13@Myria leaves her room and rides the elevator down to the lobby.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches the two curiously
[21:07] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Hmmm. I do not believe I will ever attain that.
15[21:07] * 13@Jennifer` looks up at her, blinking a bit. "Decided what...?"
[21:07] <13SPoC> <Dias> Oh yeah. We're gonna do the 8th floor. 6He turns, running off to the stairs
[21:07] <13Dawn> <Chii> You're all gungho about the military stuff- well fine. It's about time you picked one or the other. You can't act like a soldier but then react like a civilian victim."
15[21:08] * 13@Jennifer` stands a bit, crossing her arms. "I'm a soldier."
[21:08] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I know. It's why I didn't say it. This life i've been thrown into, a fighter, a superhero, whatever, it wasn't something that I ever wanted. I thought everyone was insane, Cheryl a monster, and yet here I am torn by the decision of whether I should stay or get away from it all.
[21:08] <13SPoC> That is unfortunate.
[21:08] <13Dawn> <Chii> You're going to see some screwed up things-- but you need to set it aside and act according to the best interest, not according to whatever disgust or horror you feel. Back then, you reacted like some bystander. Because of that, you also influenced Ben.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers down at Cheryl thoughtfully.
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Hmmm. I believe as others have said, I should "Get over it." Whether I will accomplish this, I do not know.
15[21:09] * 13@Jennifer` looks down and nods. "You're right... I need to act like what I say I am."
[21:09] <13Dawn> <Chii> Ben's a civilian, Jen. As a soldier, your job's to keep an eye out for them, not just your 'brother.' Your mistake hurt him.
[21:09] <13SPoC> 6Dias runs down the hallway of the 8th floor and upto the railing, peering down. 1"Oh hell yeah this is going to awesome."
15[21:10] * 13@Myria shuffles toward Theron.
15[21:10] * 13@Jennifer` nods again, she's not disagreeing at all. "If I was doing my job I shoulda gotten out of there, or at least shielded him from it."
[21:10] <13SPoC> <SPoC> The others do not understand what you have gone through.
[21:10] <13Dawn> <Chii> Obviously despite all your wanting and 'training' and 'learning,' you weren't ready at all. But hopefully now you know what it means to step up to that talk of yours. It won't happen again." 6She doesn't phrase it like a question-- she eyes Jennifer, her eyes cold and vacant, the statement more akin to a threat.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> What if it does happen? 6* Lemon asks, not catching the threat aspect.
[21:11] <13@Myria> Theron?
09[21:11] <13@Jennifer`> "It won't."
[21:11] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a breath and then peers towards Kat. 1I did promise Dias I would help him with one last thing. But after that, I'm yours.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> But--if it does--
09[21:11] <13@Jennifer`> "Because I'd rather die then let it."
[21:11] <13SPoC> 6Dias backs himself way up then dashes forward again, leaping onto the railing and kicking off again. 1"SUPER ATOMIC CANNONBALL!" 6He tucks himself into a ball as he goes flying down towards the pool
15[21:11] * 13@Jennifer` looks at Lemon.
09[21:11] <13@Jennifer`> "And I mean that."
[21:12] <13Dawn> 6Chii nods, closing her eyes. 1"Now that sounds like a genuine peebrain cadet."
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Dias pass by them toward the pool. "I see."
[21:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron nods once as if considering that before glancing up to Myria. 1Miss Myria. Are you well?
[21:12] <13Dawn>
15[21:12] * 13@Jennifer` blinks, then grins a little. "Guess I'll fit in at the academy then."
[21:12] <13Dawn> 6Chii hops back to sit on the bed again, eyeing Ben. 1"Have fun with that. I'm no soldier."
[21:13] <13SPoC> 6Dias slams into the water, causing a massive splash
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> If you are not a soldier, then what are you?
09[21:13] <13@Jennifer`> "She's Chii, a kick butt Ninja."
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> This isn't one of those, after so and so things. This is something personal, but I promise you Kat. If you want your normal life, I'll give it to you.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is soaked by the water. She takes another sip from her flask, still working on her datapad, which appears to be water proof.
[21:13] <13SPoC> 6Dias resurfaces after a moment. 1"FUCKING RIGHT ON!"
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Fighting V.I. could take months, even years, Marcus. And Dias might always need your help - do you honestly think you could say no to him?
15[21:14] * 13@Jennifer` sits by Ben again, sighing a bit at him. "No clue how I'm gonna do it bro... but I'll make this right somehow."
[21:14] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I've already did it once today.
[21:14] <13Dawn> <Chii> There's no 'kick butt' about it. My personality may betray what I am. I gained all the skills and knowledge of an assassin-- I was used like a tool. But I won't hesitate now. I have my own thoughts and feelings. If it harms anyone I care about-- I'll kill them. Anyone.
[21:14] <13@Myria> I'm hungry.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh?
[21:14] <13Dawn> <Chii> Even Jennifer.
[21:15] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Dias and one of his ideas. It wasn't a good one, trust me.
15[21:15] * 13@Jennifer` looks up at her and smiles a bit. "I'll hold you to that Chii."
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Now I'm curious.
[21:15] <13Dawn> 6Chii sighs loud and dramatically, putting her hands behind her head. 1"...I don't want to square with Nat, though. Jeez."
[21:15] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks up as if trying to see on his forehead then feels for his bandana, his eyes going wide. He spins around looking for it
[21:15] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron nods once. 1Perhaps we could go get something?
09[21:15] <13@Jennifer`> "Don't worry about it... like I said, it won't happen."
[21:16] <13Dawn> <Chii> She's all commando. It'd be such a pain in the ass.
[21:16] <13@Myria> I'd like that.
09[21:16] <13@Jennifer`> "Eh... she could probably take you."
[21:17] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes head once, trying to keep the topic on track. 1When it comes to me and Dias. We don't ask each other for help. If we sense the others needs help, then we give it, simple as that.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods a few times.
15[21:18] * 13@Jennifer` moves down a bit more, taking interest in what Ben's doing.
[21:18] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Dias wouldn't ask me to give up my life with you, for help, he just wouldn't.
[21:18] <13SPoC> 6Dias dives under and resurfaces, the headband in his hand. 1"I almost lost you." 6He makes a sad face and swims to the side, pulling himself out
[21:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron shifts to get to his feet glancing around. 1Hmm. I do not believe I have any money on my person. We left in quite the hurry.
[21:19] <13@Myria> ...yes... ... ...does this mean I'm poor now?!
[21:19] <13SPoC> <SPoC> If you need some credits, I believe that I can borrow you some.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's nice you two are good friends.
[21:19] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Hmm. I do not know. If you kept your money in an account, then you would not be. However, if you stored it in your house...
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* X walks up to the hotel with her box, having bought some food and clothing, that she has Lilith holding. She has also bought Lilith outfits that she liked.
[21:20] <13@Myria> Fortunately, we run on digital value transfers!
[21:21] <13SPoC> 6Dias shakes himself dry again, then smiles foolishly as he puts his headband back on.
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> More like brothers. 6He notes offhandedly, peering out at the city. 1You're worried i'm not going to stop, aren't you?
[21:21] <13SPoC> 6Dias turns to see Cheryl all wet. 1"You're wet. Did I make you wet?"
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron nods to SPoC in thanks before looking to Myria. 1Very well. It would appear that you are buying.
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina offers a smile, reaching up to stroke his cheek
[21:22] <13@Myria> Ummmm...
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You never make me wet.
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* X approaches the pool, eyeing Dias
[21:23] <13SPoC> 6Dias makes a mock pouty face at Cheryl than turns to leave, to see X. 1"Yo!"
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> <X> You're wet.
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances at her and gives her a smile, then leans over to kiss her cheek. 1Silent smiles. I sense that means yes.
[21:24] <13@Myria> I...well...there isn't really a direct way to transfer Erusian digital credit to Earth money right now...
[21:24] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, I jumped from the 8th floor into the pool. 6He points up at the floor. 1"Sweetest moment for me today."
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Ah I see. Then perhaps we can borrow some credits from someone to get something cheap.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... ... 6* She stares now
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I love you. 6* She adds, seriously.
[21:25] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...What?!
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> And I love you. 6He glances at her slightly, then tilts his head.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <X> You are hopeless.
[21:25] <13@Myria> Though we cannot persist like this.
[21:25] <13SPoC> <Dias> I like to think I'm a free spirit.
[21:26] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> You are correct. Perhaps we can talk with someone to help us find a way back to Erusia. Unless you would prefer to stay here. Then we could seek a way to transfer your funds.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <X> I could make you a literal spirit 6* She offers.
15[21:26] * 13@Jennifer` quietly watches Ben, thinking on what to do.
[21:26] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Would a fall from that height not normally kill someone?
[21:27] <13@Myria> I don't have a house anymore... ... ...
15[21:27] * 13@Myria starts to sniffle.
[21:27] <13SPoC> 6Dias waves his hand dismissively. 1"But than I couldn't touch things. It's just that fun."
[21:27] <13SPoC> NRP: not that
[21:27] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Yes. But it can be rebuilt.
[21:28] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks at Lilith and shrugs. 1"Good thing I'm a superhero, eh?"
[21:28] <13@Myria> ...that's not the point...
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I do not understand. What is the point?
[21:29] <13Dawn> <Lilith> What does being a superhero pay?
[21:29] <13@Myria> Even if rebuilt...it won't be my ancestral home...
[21:30] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I see. That is true. Then what is it that you plan to do?
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <X> I wonder what superhero gambles, drinks, fights for money...
[21:30] <13SPoC> <Dias> Some payments can't be measured by credits...but if I were to guess, I'd be worth about 15,000 credits per small heroic deed.
[21:30] <13@Myria> I...don't know. See...Yloi...take ancestry very seriously.
[21:30] <13Dawn> <Lilith> What classifies something as a 'small heroic deed'
[21:31] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I see. I do not. 6He notes simply, as if that should explain why he doesn't understand.
[21:32] <13SPoC> <Dias> Glad you asked Lilith. 6He reaches behind his back to grab something than pats his pants. 1"Right. I left my props upstairs...I'll give you the list later." 6He looks at X. It's a complicated matter."
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... I don't think I want to know
15[21:32] * 13@Jennifer` looks over at Lemon. "He really hasn't said a single word?"
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> That is correct.
[21:33] <13Dawn> <Chii> Not that I've heard..
[21:33] <13SPoC> <Dias> Every superhero needs some sort of vice, or demons that they must battle. It's superhero rule #212.
[21:33] <13@Myria> Well, we were more than just thesecret inner council. We were the artists, philosophers, poets...and historians.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <X> I see. Am I your demon, or are you my demon?
[21:33] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron listens quietly, letting her talk.
[21:33] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Mistress is a superhero?
[21:34] <13SPoC> <Dias> 1st, you're not a demon, second...Nice catch Lilith. 6he nods approvingly to her
15[21:34] * 13@Jennifer` turns and looks back at him, frowning a little. "THat's my first mission then Bro, I'm gonna hear you talk again."
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'm not.
15[21:34] * 13@Myria lets out a breath.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ben ignores Jennifer.
[21:34] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Then I do not believe you require a demon.
[21:34] <13Dawn> 6Lilith looks to Dias. 1"I will become a superhero."
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* X jerks at that. "What?"
[21:35] <13SPoC> <Dias> Really?!
[21:35] <13@Myria> With the number of Yloi dwindling, its not just our presence that the Ascendancy will start to miss. The Ascendancy will start to lose its soul...its cultural heritage. We're very conscious of that, which is why we are so tied to the past.
[21:35] <13Dawn> <Lilith> I will perform many heroic deeds-- with an income of that magnitude, my mistress will never require work or labor.
15[21:35] * 13@Jennifer` sighs a bit and rubs her head. She sits up. "Well, he got Dad's powers of being quiet and brooding alright."
[21:36] <13Dawn> 6Lilith nods. 1"Dias is a superhero, so I do not believe it could be very difficult."
[21:36] <13SPoC> 6Dias sighs, shaking his head. 1"You can't become a hero for that reason.
15[21:36] * 13@Jennifer` doesn't seem to be joking around despite her choice of words.
[21:36] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Then you will be returning to Erusia.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> So your father was mentally damaged?
[21:36] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Why not? It is a selfless reason.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks surprised at Lilith, then crosses her arms. "If you want to become a superhero, Lilith, I will join you."
[21:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> It lacks the pizazz. And it makes a horrible backstory.
[21:37] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Backstory?
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <X> Ignore his insanity.
15[21:37] * 13@Jennifer` blinks a bit, she frowns. "No... just really quiet and brooding when he got upset."
[21:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> X, how many superheros have you read about that picked up the superhero mantle for money?
[21:37] <13@Myria> I don't know...its...not the same. Zerith damaged the spirit of our people.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <X> Spider-man.
[21:38] <13SPoC> <Dias> He didn't charge people to do super hero deeds.
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Yes, that is true.
[21:38] <13Dawn> <Lilith> He entered a prizefight to win money.
15[21:38] * 13@Myria nods.
[21:38] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, but that wasn't a superhero act.
[21:38] <13Dawn> 6Lilith nods to X. 1"Using his abilities for monetary means."
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <X> We should do prizefights.
[21:39] <13SPoC> <Dias> And it was far before he was a superhero
09[21:39] <13@Jennifer`> "I do it sometimes too... when something really gets to me I just find someplace to be quiet. At least, sometimes."
[21:39] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Mmm, Spider-man continued to use his powers for monetary means after fighting evil. Through the means of pictures in a newsprint.
[21:40] <13Dawn> 6Lilith blinks a few times. She peers at X. 1"I believe those magazines are infectious."
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon focuses on Ben again as Jennifer develops her character outloud
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> How so?
[21:40] <13@Myria> So...I feel uncertain now.
15[21:40] * 13@Jennifer` frowns a bit and looks over at Ben.
[21:40] <13SPoC> <Dias> Uh, he took pictures of himself for work to pay for stuff. Did he ever suddenly go, I'm not gonna save anyone until I get money? No.
[21:40] <13Dawn> <Lilith> I did not believe I would recall this much from something I did not feel interest in.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <X> They do remain in one's memory
[21:41] <13Dawn> <Lilith> He let a robber go because he was cheated out of money." 6She blinks, then hangs her head. 1"Yet this was before as you say."
[21:41] <13Dawn> <Lilith> But he did do it." 6She frowns, as if adamant on making that point.
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I see. Well. If you want my opinion, our people have fallen to a level that I for one do not desire to be around.
[21:42] <13SPoC> <Dias> Which set him up to use his powers for good. 6He points out. 1"That's how a backstory works.
[21:42] <13@Myria> Then I'll stay with you.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hm.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.4.14
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> Location: The Old Anti Dark Base
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the hanger of the base, in uniform, her hair tied in a ponytail. The hanger already has five shuttles and five Gears.
[21:43] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks over at one of the gears. 1"That one is soooo going to be repainted."
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon walks into the hanger with suitcases and Ben.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Pope steps out from behind the Gear, smoking a cig. "Get paintin', then, mate."
[21:43] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Hmm... I fought my whole life in the interest of my country, but discovered I was used in the end and lost my final battle. Disillusioned I transcended life and became an inugami to protect and serve my country beyond time. How is this for a backstory, Dias?
[21:44] <13Dawn> <Chii> Pope!?
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Pope> Hey, bird.
[21:44] <13Dawn> <Chii> Dude, you're more resilient than an atomic cockroach!
[21:44] <13SPoC> <Dias> Well since it took you a day to figure it out, I'm going to have to give you props.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Pope> I'll take that as a compliment, luv.
[21:44] <13SPoC> 6SPoC tilts her head at Pope, then bows slightly to him.
09[21:44] <13@Jennifer`> "I'll say, how'd you get off the base?" *stands by SPoC*
[21:45] <13Dawn> <Chii> Heheh." 6She thumbs up to Pope.
[21:45] <13SPoC> <Dias> But that would make you a sidekick to X.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lemon, our quarters are now the master ones that belonged to Paladin. 6* She nods, moving off
[21:45] <13Dawn> <Lilith> I would accept this role.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Pope> Space turtles.
[21:45] <13SPoC> <Dias> Ya know, it's hard to find good sidekicks these days. 6He gives Lilith a thumbs up
09[21:45] <13@Jennifer`> "Okay, this story I have to hear no matter how outrageous and filled with lies."
[21:46] <13SPoC> 6SPoC turns, moving into the base towards her old room
[21:46] <13Dawn> <Chii> You've never heard of space turtles?
15[21:46] * 13@Jennifer` looks over and stares at her. "Get out... they're real?"
[21:46] <13Dawn> 6Chii eyes Jennifer. 1"They always return to the same planet to lay their eggs."
[21:46] <13Dawn> 6Chii walks off after Lemon
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head at Chii, then heads for the General's office to get it set up.
[21:47] <13SPoC> 6Dias puts his arms on his hips as he looks at X. 1"Now we just need to make you a mighty find superhero."
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'm just interested in the prizefights for money. Lilith can be the superhero.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* X carries her box for her room, still having Lilith carry the clothes.
15[21:48] * 13@Jennifer` frowns a little. "I'll have to remember to look that up." *she grabs her bag a bit tighter and heads to her old room*
[21:48] <13Dawn> 6Lilith ambles after X
[21:48] <13SPoC> <Dias> Didn't I already explain the fight club situation? 6He moves after the two
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* A shuttle ramp lowers and Xanatos walks down it, rubbing his hands on an old rag. 1Nice ship, Pope. 6He comments.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the old General's office that was once Warren, then Paladin's, and now her's. She peers about it, moving to the desk to put a hand on it silently.
[21:49] <13Dawn> 6Cheryl might notice someone's silohette cast out of the office doorway before she enters-- but there's no one inside.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Pope> Only the best, mate.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl muses silently, then takes a seat.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon enters the General's quarters - twice the size of any other room, with a huge bathtub. She moves to set the suitcases down on the floor, and Ben onto the bed.
[21:51] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes X being silent and shrugs, moving into his old room
[21:51] <13Dawn> <Chii> Ergh, getting the creeps.
15[21:51] * 13@Xanatos peers around and nods once. 1Either me or Dias will usually be the pilot, so I guess you'll stay busy with repairs. 6He gives a light laugh, then turns to move towards the exit.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps into the room next to Dias' room and begins to put down her box.
[21:52] <13Dawn> 6Lilith carries clothing to the closet.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> The 'creeps'?
[21:52] <13Dawn> <Chii> This room... never mind.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon spies an old Jazz record that was left behind. She picks it up, confused at what the antique thing is
[21:52] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes the empty room. 1"Time to make some calls." 6He grabs his cellphone and starts talking on it as he moves down the hallway
15[21:53] * 13@Jennifer` sets her bag out and looks over the place, she looks around as though someone might be watching and pulls out a small bottle. She pours some water out of it along the windowsill and then puts the bottle away, she then sits down and pulls off the glove over her fake hand, fixing the skin a bit over it.
[21:54] <13Dawn> 6Chii stares. 1"Oh, hey, a reco--" 6A white fox leaps and snaps the record away from Lemon, making a break out the door.
15[21:54] * 13@Xanatos tosses the rag in the garbage as he steps out, moving along the hallway, glancing around as he goes, never having been a memeber of the earlier unit, he only rememebers what he saw as Legion.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stares at the fox. "It is the cute animal I saw before."
[21:54] <13Dawn> 6A white fox dashes past Xanatos with an old-style record in its mouth.
[21:55] <13Dawn> <Chii> Huh... Shikigami. What's she want with it?
15[21:55] * 13@Xanatos slows to a stop and glances over his shoulder, turning to follow it curiously.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Perhaps it likes music
15[21:55] * 13@Jennifer` changes into something more casual and steps out of her room to take a walk around, she breathes in a bit, feeling better being 'home'.
[21:56] <13Dawn> 6The fox moves down the hallways for the exits, leaping up to kick the open pad with its hindlegs and scampers outside.
[21:56] <13SPoC> 6SPoC moves into her room and begins to unpack her duffel bag
[21:56] <13Dawn> <Chii> Not that! I mean-- Oh never mind." 6She stares at Lemon, as if determining if she was serious.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon does look serious.
[21:57] <13SPoC> 6Dias shuts his cellphone off and slides it into his pocket as he moves along the hallways
15[21:57] * 13@Xanatos walks out after it, peering around as he goes.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to get her datapad hooked up to the monitors, flicking the cameras on. She eyes the paper work already on the desk for to go over. Reaching into his suit, she pulls out three bottles of rocket fuel, hiding two in the desk, then drinks from the third.
[21:58] <13Dawn> 6The fox continues over the grounds to leave unnoticed below the vehicle entry gates and moves to the sidewalk, heading down a block.
15[21:58] * 13@Xanatos just continues to follow it for now, probably already aware of who it belongs too.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* She taps a button to speak through the comm in Chii's room. "Are you naked?"
[21:59] <13Dawn> 6Chii jerks, peering around. 1"Th-The hell!?"
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6 *X finishes, then moves for the training room
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hello, sexy. Want to play comm. sex?
[22:00] <13Dawn> 6The fox moves into a median between businesses with a tree and a bench, probably an old bus stop or something and leaps up into the arms of Freyja, huddled beneath it and lost in wild strands of white hair.
[22:00] <13Dawn> <Chii> Ch-Cherry..!? Geez, Lemon and Ben are here. Baka.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine, fine. 6* She sighs and hangs up the comm.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at the ceiling now. "What is comm sex?"
[22:01] <13Dawn> 6Chii groans and moves to the closet, shifting through belongings.
15[22:01] * 13@Xanatos stops just short of her, peering at her. 1Freyja.
15[22:01] * 13@Jennifer` peeks into the training room and looks around, stepping inside and walking about a bit.
[22:02] <13Dawn> 6Freyja reaches up and sifts her fingers through stands, moving some aside so an amber iris, slightly aglow peers over at him, her other hand taking the record onto a finger and Shiro settles on her shoulder. 1"... Xanatos Durran."
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* X enters the training room, peering about - all the equipment is there. Training bags, bars, etc.
15[22:03] * 13@Jennifer` looks over at X as she steps in. "Hey."
[22:03] <13@Xanatos> Are you alright?
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Jennifer, then moves to the bags, inspecting them
[22:04] <13Dawn> <Freyja> I'll be fine.
09[22:05] <13@Jennifer`> "Feels like it did before... though I suppose Chii isn't paying for bags now."
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* X finds the one with metal in it, then nods once, taking a marker and writing Dias' name on it
[22:05] <13SPoC> <Dias> I already miss the hotel. 6He sighs, bored now
15[22:06] * 13@Jennifer` watches her with curiosity.
[22:06] <13@Xanatos> Hmm. In time i'm sure. But until then, do you need to talk or anything?
[22:07] <13Dawn> 6Freyja eyes him a moment, then closes the eye and slowly strains to get up, falling back to lean on the tree, letting the breeze free up view of her face more or less, apparently not going to bother with using her hands to do so. 1"Talk of what..?"
[22:08] <13Dawn> 6Chii exits the closet, buttoning up the jacket for her secretary uniform and squints at Lemon. 1"I'll be back later."
15[22:08] * 13@Jennifer` walks over and tests the bag a bit with a very light punch with her fake hand, she blinks at the dual sound of metal hitting metal. "...Whoa... Dias stepped up his training a little?"
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Alright.
[22:08] <13@Xanatos> Paladin. You and he were close if I understood it right.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at her hitting the bag that's messing with, her marker going down the side of it. She was apparantly drawing a face under his name
15[22:09] * 13@Jennifer` eeps a bit. "Oops... we can wash it off quick enough..."
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* X puts the marker away. "Never mind."
[22:10] <13Dawn> <Freyja> That might have been the case." 6She eyes the record idly. 1"Billy left me."
15[22:10] * 13@Jennifer` goes over to her bag and grabs a bottle of water and a towel, moving back to the bag, she looks at her and shrugs, and carefully wipes up the part that went along the bag, preserving the rest. "Nah, I got it."
15[22:10] * 13@Xanatos tilts his head slightly. 1Really? I wonder why?
[22:10] <13SPoC> 6Dias steps out the front door to the parking lot and moves over to a cargo truck backing up
[22:10] <13Dawn> <Freyja> I was wasting my life trying to help those who were sick.
15[22:11] * 13@Jennifer` looks at the smiley face, then at X, then back over the bag in general. "...Okay."
[22:12] <13@Xanatos> Ah. 6He nods once, then glances up slightly. 1Being young and childish, Billy probably took it that you were turning your back on her.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at the face that's made to look retarded, with no smile. She walks off.
[22:12] <13SPoC> 6Dias climbs into the back of the truck and starts tossing things outside on the parking lot.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes a monitor of the parking area to see what Dias is up to.
[22:13] <13Dawn> <Freyja> I used to think that was the case...
[22:13] <13@Xanatos> But you've come to some other realization?
15[22:13] * 13@Jennifer` tilts her head a bit, inspecting it. She looks back at the retreating X and shrugs a little, moving back to her bag with the slightly damp towel and bottle of water.
[22:14] <13SPoC> 6Dias rolls his punching bag off the back of the truck and onto lot then moves back inside again.
[22:14] <13Dawn> <Freyja> Perhaps.
[22:15] <13@Xanatos> Well, it's possible that there is some other reason. The only person that knows for sure is Billy.
[22:16] <13SPoC> 6Dias leaps out, a medium sized crate across his back. He motions the truck with a thumbs up and it takes off
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps a button to use the scanners installed outside to see what's in the crate.
[22:17] <13Dawn> <Freyja> Only Billy can make Billy found... The realization is that I am again a juxtaposed abberant. Something alone and unwelcome.
[22:17] <13SPoC> 6Nothing with a pulse.
[22:19] <13SPoC> 6Various comic books, fighting gloves, clothes, condoms, posters, a half eaten sandwich and some credits
15[22:19] * 13@Xanatos lets out a slight laugh and shakes his head. 1No. You're not alone. You have friends, allies. If Billy decides that she doesn't want to be around, then that is her problem, isn't it? 6He holds out a hand slightly, to shake hands oddly. 1I have no one anymore, just my job, so I understand how you're feeling.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts and goes back to her paperwork.
[22:19] <13@Xanatos> If you need someone to talk about it. I would be happy to help you.
15[22:19] * 13@Jennifer` pulls out a small datapad and puts on some headphones, the thing acts as a music player as she starts to train on one of the non-metal filled bags.
[22:20] <13SPoC> 6Dias grabs the punching bag and starts dragging it towards inside, leaving other stuff littered on the parking lot
[22:22] <13Dawn> 6Freyja stares at Xanatos incredulously, frowning slightly. She stares at the hand, glancing away stubbornly. The fox tilts its head and bobs slgihtly, as if thinking independently.
15[22:24] * 13@Xanatos glances at his hand. 1Yeah it's hard to say where that hand as been. 6He drops it to his side. 1I can't bring Billy back, or anyone for that matter, but I can offer up myself to be you friend and help you through this. Everyone needs someone, eventually.
[22:24] <13SPoC> 6Dias stops by his room first and tosses the crate inside and onto the ground. He shifts the punching back up and onto his back and heads for the training room.
[22:26] <13Dawn> 6Freyja pauses and glances back as Shiro hops off and moves over, prancing around him in a sort of dance, apparently. Freyja scowls and waves her free hand. 1"Shiro! Yamete... Sore wa baka desu! Tch..!"
[22:26] <13Dawn> <Freyja> Shiro... Shiro!" 6She stops in vain, then eyes Xanatos, narrowing them.
15[22:27] * 13@Xanatos just watches this, not really knowing what's going on at this point.
[22:28] <13Dawn> <Freyja> Kai!" 6She holds up two fingers and states this sternly-- the white fox reverting to a palm-fit origami shape. She walks over and takes it, hrmphing at Xanatos and disappearing after a moment of closing her eyes.
15[22:28] * 13@Xanatos rubs the back of his head. 1Hmm. Tsiv is easier to understand.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve motions for Marcus to take a seat. "How can I help you, Mr. Jones?"
[22:30] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh I just wanted to talk to Alexander. See about working with the anti-dark one unit.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> He's busy. Did you want to join the militry, then? 6* She asks him as she sits behind her desk
[22:31] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> No. I realize it's military only this time around, which is why I wanted so see if I could work something out with him.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Well. I'm afraid there's not any accomodations we can make non-military personnel at this time. After the virus outbreak and V.I.'s attacks, we want only people associated with the military in the unit.
[22:33] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah I understand that. But i've worked with the unit, since well even before with Warren. I know what i'm doing, and I'm not even asking for payment. I want to help Dias take down VI. Cran said he wanted to make sure that the people on the unit wanted to be there, well I'm pretty sure I do.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Not enough to join the military offically.
[22:34] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah, right. I'm not joining because i'm getting married and I don't want to drag her into anything.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> I understand. But you have to consider this, Mr. Jones - you say you want to help the unit, but you're getting married and don't want to drag her into situations. That tells me you're not fully committed to the idea of working with the unit - this isn't something that's going to be resolved easily. The Dark War lasted years.
[22:37] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> All it says is that I don't want to endanger her. It has nothing to do with my commitment. How is that hard to understand?
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Because a soldier and officer has to be willing to put everything on the line. Family is sometimes in second place. I'm sure you saw that from General Carmichael, didn't you?
[22:38] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I guess so. 6He shifts to stand. 1Sorry for wasting your time then.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods and gives him a smile, standing also. "I'm sorry we can't accept your help. If a situation comes up where we need outside help, we'll bring you in, of course."
[22:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods once and then turns to go.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve watches him go, then sits back down.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> Location: Military Base
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus steps onto the base finally, his throat wrapped up still. He moves silently for the medical bay.
[22:41] <13SPoC> 6Dias finishes setting up his training bag and steps back, admiring his work.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* After stepping into the medical bay, and peering around to check the equipment, he moves to take a seat. He begins to upload some information from his datapad to the computer, bringing up Caesura's information.
15[22:42] * 13@Xanatos moves through the hallways, still getting himself aquianted with the base, after coming to Cheryl's office he reaches out to knock on the door lightly.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah?
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Bringing up a second weapon's data, Caduceus compares the two silently.
15[22:43] * 13@Xanatos opens the door to glance in. 1Getting settled in?
[22:44] <13SPoC> 6Dias cracks his neck than his knuckles, stopping to peer over at the old Dias training bag. "1"Hey....That looks just like me."
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess. 6* She has a bottle of alcohol on her desk, her head propped up by one hand
15[22:44] * 13@Jennifer` stops midkick to watch Dias, "Really?"
15[22:44] * 13@Xanatos smirks slightly and nods. 1I figured if I wanted to get a pool table or something, I would have to get you to approve it.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Approved. 6* She says, not looking up from reading the paperwork
[22:45] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yeah. 6He smiles and turns back to his new bag and starts punching into it lightly
[22:46] <13@Xanatos> Alright. Then I guess i'll have the papers wrote up for you to sign and i'll place them on your desk.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sends the information to Dias' datapad, though he doubts the man knows where it's located.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure.
15[22:47] * 13@Jennifer` grins a bit and kicks a few more times, stepping back. "I gotta start upping my training too."
15[22:47] * 13@Xanatos tilts his head slightly. 1I'll probably add a few other things on there, hookers and things of that nature.
[22:47] <13SPoC> 6Dias pauses, making a face as he glances around at himself.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright. 6* She notes in the same tone.
09[22:47] <13@Jennifer`> "What?"
[22:48] <13SPoC> <Dias> Stop talking. 6He reaches into his pants and starts digging around
15[22:48] * 13@Xanatos smirks. 1Alright. 6He turns to step out.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks suddenly. "OW!"
15[22:48] * 13@Jennifer` blinks a bit and takes off the earpiece in her ear, watching him.
[22:49] <13SPoC> 6Dias yanks out his datapad, eyeing it. He turns it upside down, eyeing it
15[22:49] * 13@Xanatos pauses and peers at Cheryl oddly.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* A message from Caduceus
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glares under her desk. "What the hell?"
[22:49] <13SPoC> 6Dias reads it
[22:49] <13@Xanatos> Chii's under there, isn't she?
[22:50] <13Dawn> <Chii> Am not!
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's just data comparing Caesura and X, who look very much alike. Caduceus has pin pointed points that look exactly the same on both Weapons.
[22:50] <13Dawn> <Chii> And you can't have hookers, jackass!
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a hand to her face.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait, hookers?
15[22:50] * 13@Xanatos smiles wide. 1I'll just leave you two alone.
[22:51] <13SPoC> 6Dias doesn't react and moves out of the training room, heading towards the medbay
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What hookers?
15[22:51] * 13@Jennifer` shrugs and sighs, starting to work on her punches.
15[22:51] * 13@Xanatos pauses from leaving again, glancing at Cheryl. 1I was seeing if you were listening to me. You weren't, Warren used to do that alot.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses at that one. She uses her legs to wrap around Chii's waist. "Did he also have girls under his desk?"
[22:52] <13Dawn> <Chii> H-Hey..!
[22:52] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves into the medbay. 1"So you sent this, huh?"
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> If he did, he kept it hidden from me. 6He gives a slight shrug.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caesura eyes Dias, then nods once.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. You want this one for a hooker?
[22:53] <13SPoC> <Dias> You needed these fancy charts to jump to this conclusion?
[22:54] <13Dawn> <Chii> Wh-what...!?
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus shakes his head, leaning back, typing into a datapad and holding it upside down at Dias. "Always suspected. Now convinced."
[22:54] <13@Xanatos> Hmm. Maybe if I get desperate enough.
[22:54] <13SPoC> <Dias> Do me a favor Cad. Don't tell her.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> *Types* Why?
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snickers, then drinks from her bottle.
[22:55] <13Dawn> <Chii> Desperate? That's not funny..! Let go of me, I'll beat him to a pulp..!
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd have to punish you if you did - with brig time.
[22:56] <13Dawn> <Chii> Rgh..!
15[22:56] * 13@Xanatos lets out a whistle. 1I just can't seem to get the Fox twins to like me, can I?
[22:56] <13SPoC> 6Dias shrugs. 1"Not sure, just doesn't seem like it'd be good for her.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus mimics the shrug, then goes back to doing other things, apparantly accepting that
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why, you piss off Freyja, too?
[22:57] <13SPoC> <Dias> Thanks. 6He eyes the datapad then smashes it into the doorway repeatedly to break it apart
[22:57] <13@Xanatos> I'm not sure. It was in japanese.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes him again.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Well, I'll okay the pool table. 6* She goes back to her work
[22:58] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...I can never figure out how to delete messages and I didn't want her to find out accidentally.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus shakes his head from side to side.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> Location: Suburbs. Living it La Vida Erusian Style
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* With the help of the EarthGov, Theron and Myria are standing in front of their very own new house --- on the other side of Marcus' house
[22:59] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Hmmm. Is it to your liking? 6He glances towards Myria.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina bakes cookies in the living room area, quiet. She seems healthier now, since the people of Tokyo aren't suffering and effecting her mentally. She looks out the window. "The new neighbors are here."
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up from some papers, having been a bit annoyed when he first got back, but seemingly fine now. 1Yeah, who is it?
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I think it's Theron and Myria.
[23:01] <13@Myria> ...ummm...why is the house down the road a crater?
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Seriously? 6He stands up to move over to the window and peer out. 1Weird. I wonder why they're here?
[23:02] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I am unsure. Perhaps it occured during the Legion battle.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* A kid rides a bike past them, staring at Myria with big eyes, and runs into a mailbox
[23:02] <13@Myria> The house is a style that I'm not used t-is he alright?
[23:02] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus snorts and starts laughing, putting a hand to his face.
[23:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron pauses and tilts his head moving over to kneel beside the boy. 1Are you alright?
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Boy> Y-Yes.
[23:03] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Good. You should be careful. 6He stands.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina muses a few moments. "I wonder how we end up having neighbors we always know."
[23:04] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Probably Cran's idea of being cute or something. Either that or we're really lucky. 6He pauses. 1Or unlucky.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles a bit. "I think it's nice."
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> Location: Mountain Shrine
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's nearly night now at the mountain shrine that Freyja likes to maintain. Erevis stands in front of it in a kimono, hands together, bowing respectfully
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Straightening her back, Erevis moves to place a note down by the shrine, turning to go
[23:06] <13Dawn> 6Freyja pauses in brooming, staring-- her eyes slightly lit in the dark now. She still hasn't bothered to tie her hair, so she holds part of it back with one hand. Though she can see her come and go, Freyja makes no move to actually approach until Erevis has gone, kneeling to pick up the paper, hastily opening it.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> "Dear Freyja; My friend. I have heard that your old residence was destroyed; and that Billy is missing. I ask that if you need company, or a place to stay for the time being, please do not hesitate to stay with me, as I would be honored to have my friend over. Do not think you have to be alone in the days to come. Your friend, Erevis Zhenmei"
[23:09] <13Dawn> 6Freyja narrows her eyes as Shiro prancing around in circles. She wonders who taught him that and sighs.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> <Voice> Fufufu.
[23:09] <13Dawn> 6With the note in hand, she moves inside where candles are lit, glancing around at handmade cornucopias and arrangements of flowers garnished with fruits. Then pauses at the sound, glancing back.
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy sit on top of the entrance to the shrine, legs crossed, dressed in her lolita outfit as usual, skull earrings dangling. "She's a straight arrow, that one."
[23:10] <13Dawn> <Freyja> ...Billy.
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Freyja.
[23:11] <13Dawn> <Freyja> You've returned.
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* She shifts to step off the entrance and land on the ground, arms on either side of her, as if to balance, turning to face Freyja. "I heard the virus was stopped. I came to see if you lived."
[23:11] <13Dawn> <Freyja> Despite faith from you otherwise...
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> *Shrugs* We'll see how things go. The virus was a prelude of things to come.
[23:12] <13Dawn> <Freyja> I see. I could not find Cassandra." 6She turns away, setting the broom aside and beginning to gather the arrangements onto a large cloth on the floor.
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy hops back a few steps, as if gliding, and stops over the water. "Don't worry about her. Ja ne, Freyja."
[23:13] <13Dawn> <Freyja> Yeah..." 6She takes up the corners of the cloth, using it to carry the fruit and flowers. 1"Later. Billy." 6She disappears with a snap of her fingers.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy hovers over the water for now, then peers up at the pale moon rising in the sky. "Dias. Will you fall like so many before you, or will you open the doors for me?" 6* She asks the moon, then shadowports herself.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> -END?-
