[20:01] <13@DeathStar> Location: Tower of Cheryl
03[20:01] * Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is in the hanger with Xanatos, getting ready to go to the Executive Building. Apparantly there's some mission detail, and she's told everyone to come to the hanger in 20 minutes. Jen especially.
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* X sits in the mess hall, eating some food in the 20 minutes allotted.
[20:02] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands in the hanger, waiting patiently
15[20:02] * 13@Xanatos stands there, doing a diagnostic on a shuttle, eyeing the readout on his datapad.
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Once we go there, Durran, you'll be free to do your own thing. You can talk to Cran about getting reassigned.
[20:03] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the messhall and leans over X, reaching for some of her food.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Someone leaps on SPoC from behind in a crushing hug
15[20:03] * 13@Cassandra` arrives in the hangar, clad is her uniform.
15[20:03] * 13@Jennifer shows up in somthing functional for a mission, jeans and a tshirt along with her belt holding her side arm and other gear, she rubs the back of her head a bit.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dias reaches into a ripple and his hand grabs his own butt
[20:03] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps forward as she's leapt on and she tries to look over her shoulder.
15[20:03] * 13@Xanatos nods once. 1I feel bad for not going.
[20:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks than gives his butt a squeeze and pulls his hand out. 1"Now that's a nice ass."
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr waves at her; she's dressed in her trench coat and tactical suit under it, her long hair braided somewhat
[20:04] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Hello Zephyr. 6She smiles in return to her
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No problem. We're going to be reassigning people slowly over the next while that don't want to go.
15[20:04] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Zephyr and smiles.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hi, Nat.
[20:05] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I am suprised to see you.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. When Cheryl told me what was going to happen, I volunteered to join the mission
[20:05] <13@Xanatos> Taking any in that will be wanting to go, too?
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't know yet. I haven't offically started putting together my list of people.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It could take months to get John's device mass produced. 6* She notes, her tone edgy about the subject.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She eyes Dias.
15[20:06] * 13@Jennifer crosses her arms a bit and moves over by SPoC and Zephyr.
[20:06] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Sorry, I should've asked first.
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes. You may have a fry.
[20:07] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> You will be joining us?
[20:07] <13@Xanatos> Well if you need me, you have my information.
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Has she told you all what is going to happen tody yet?
[20:07] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> SWEET! I love fries. 6He sit sdown beside her and grabs one, tossing it intoh is mouth
[20:07] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> No. She has kept it to herself.
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
09[20:08] <13@Jennifer> "She seemed adamant about me coming though."
[20:08] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Whatever it is, I am glad that you will be joining us. It has been awhile since we have worked alongside each other.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eats some bread. Katrina steps into the mess hall, moving to sit a table
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thank you. 6* She smiles.
[20:09] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Heya Kat. 6He waves
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Dias.
09[20:09] <13@Jennifer> "Heh, yeah it's great to have you along Zephyr."
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves into one of the shuttles.
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits in the clone labs, still doing whatever it is that he does up there.
15[20:09] * 13@Cassandra` moves on to a shuttle.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* John steps into the hanger, waving at Phantasma.
[20:10] <13@Ariel> 6* Phantasma returns the wave.
15[20:10] * 13@Xanatos moves up the ramp, moving to sit down in the pilot's seat. He's quiet now as he goes over things.
[20:10] <13Dawn> 6Chii stomps into the hangar. 1"Waiiiit!"
[20:11] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> You're hair looks nice like that.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thank you.
15[20:11] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Chii, blinking. "We... we haven't gotten going yet Chii..."
[20:11] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias reaches for another fry
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down, flicking some switches
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* X narrows her eyes
04[20:11] <13Dawn> 6Chii blows past Jennifer, leaping at Zephyr
15[20:11] * 13@Jennifer acks and falls over.
[20:11] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC blinks and shifts Zephyr out of the way
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks as she's shifted, having been going to do the same for SPoC.
[20:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out from the back and leans on the counter, glancing at the time. 1How much longer till you all have to meet Cheryl in the hanger?
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <X> 8 minutes.
[20:12] <13Dawn> 6Chii erks and flails, then lands on her hands and flips back to her feet.
[20:12] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Please? 6He makes a cute puppy dog face.
[20:12] <13Dawn> 6Chii whirls around. 1"Phinee!"
09[20:12] <13@Jennifer> "Graceful Chii."
[20:12] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> She has been attacking John so please be cautious.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She slides the tray to him
[20:12] <13@Xanatos> Hm. It seems like all we have to do now is wait for the passengers.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, Chiikins!
[20:12] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias ooohs and grabs another fry and munches on it
09[20:12] <13@Jennifer> "Yeah she nearly killed him last time."
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* John looks offended at the nearly killed bit, stepping into the shuttle
04[20:13] <13Dawn> 6Chii eyes Jennifer like she's dumb-- like when it happened.
15[20:13] * 13@Jennifer frowns at her, looking protective of John.
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> <X> Are you not coming, then, Marcus?
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over to hug Chii
[20:13] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm just the cook.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <X> That hasn't stopped you before.
[20:14] <13Dawn> <Chii> I wouldn't hurt Phinee. But now that you mention it, we haven't really sparred, right? It'd be awesome to fight another mid-range person. Though you're more long range, right?" 6She holds up her hands to Zephyr.
[20:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Marcus. 1"Plus he needs to make make up love to Kat in the back.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I'm not that good at close. 6* She picks up Chii
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina shoots Dias a look.
[20:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC watches the two
[20:14] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head once. 1I'm just not feeling it, today.
[20:14] <13Dawn> <Chii> Cool. That'd be fun after all the close range crap I've had to pick up.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's why I had SPoC around - she was awesome at close and far.
[20:15] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I am not very good at close range.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Better than me.
15[20:15] * 13@Jennifer rubs her head a bit and moves up the shuttle.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I might have dragoon strength, but Cheryl could always beat me pretty good.
[20:15] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> In that context, yes I am very good at close range.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hm. Unfortunate. I thought you'd like to do what missions you could with us before we left. I was wrong. 6* She stands and moves through a ripple.
[20:16] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Marcus. 1"I think she likes you." 6He stands up and leaps back after X.
[20:16] <13Dawn> <Chii> Yeah, 'cause of Cheryl I've really got in gear with up close and personal.
[20:16] <13Dawn> <Chii> We should have an expo, Phinee.
[20:16] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus arches his brow, tilting his head a bit before glancing towards Kat.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> An expo?
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances toward Marcus
[20:16] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I believe she wants to prove she is better than you
[20:16] <13Dawn> <Chii> Exposition match.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* X appears in the hanger and moves into the shuttle.
[20:17] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns as he appears in the hanger and spots Zephyr. 1"ZEPHYR!"
[20:17] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shrugs. 1Cookie? 6He holds up one from a pan off to his side.
15[20:17] * 13@Jennifer takes a seat near John on the shuttle and buckles in.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. Maybe some time, I guess.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> You sure you don't want to go?
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes one.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, Dias.
[20:17] <13Dawn> <Chii> Promise?! We're leaving, remember... so soon, 'kay?
[20:17] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I find it is a common approach with people who feel inadequate.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll definitely try, yeah. Things just go crazy when you least expect it.
[20:17] <13Dawn> 6Chii squints past Zephyr at SPoC. 1"Jeez. Nat's mean around you."
[20:18] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I think I need get used to not being on missions. I'm trying to step back slowly. I'll probably go on the next one.
[20:18] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC frowns. 1"I apologize." 6She bows."
[20:18] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel ripples to the hangar, looking a little reluctant to be there. She then approaches the shuttle, when she knows which one, and takes a seat.
[20:18] <13Dawn> <Chii> She was your bodyguard, right? Maybe she's like Lily and the Weapons..
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> There might not be a next one, Marcus.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I wouldn't say bodyguard. She was my partner.
[20:18] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoc tilts her head at that.
[20:18] <13Dawn> <Chii> Hm...
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves up the shuttle ramp.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> A partner I was technically in charge of.
[20:18] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slumps, sniffling that Zephyr ignored him and he moves to the shuttle
[20:19] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Then there won't be a next one. If i'm really not going to go with them, I need to learn to settle down, right? Besides, now you just get to spend the day with me.
[20:19] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves after Zephyr
[20:19] <13Dawn> 6Chii waves a hand cheerfully. 1"Huh, we should go for drinks!"
[20:19] <13Dawn> <Chii> The three of us. Fufufu.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's too young
[20:19] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I do not drink
15[20:19] * 13@Jennifer looks over at John. "So... excited?"
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> <John> Dunno. Not sure what we're doing yet.
[20:19] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias doesn't slump at being ignored, he beams and moves into the shuttle and upto the other pilots seat
[20:19] <13Dawn> <Chii> Er-- N-Not alcohol!" 6She tries to recover, grinning sheepishly at Cheryl
[20:20] <13@Xanatos> U-unless you were hoping you'd get rid of me today. 6He gives her a dramatic pouty face.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, taking a bite.
[20:20] <13@Xanatos> NRP: MArcus*
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puffs her cheeks. "You're like only 9 months older."
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It'll be nice.
[20:20] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC takes a seat
15[20:20] * 13@Xanatos clears his throat slightly. 1Is this everyone?
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives Zephyr the look, then nods at Xanatos.
[20:21] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias plops into the co-pilots seat.
15[20:21] * 13@Xanatos reaches out to close the ramp, lifting the shuttle into the air. He sends the shuttle forward.
15[20:21] * 13@Jennifer blinks and looks at Zephyr appraisingly, then does some internal math, she blinks a bit and smiles.
[20:21] <13@Xanatos> Cheryl is comfortable, isn't she, Dias?
[20:21] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I have no idea what oyu mean.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl EYES Xanatos.
[20:21] <13Dawn> 6Lilith sneaks onto the shuttle.
[20:22] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And even if I knew what you meant, I wouldn't admit to it. Not with Chii here.
15[20:22] * 13@Xanatos peers over towards Dias, then arches a brow and glances towards Cheryl. 1Hm. Didn't see you move. 6He lifts them higher, redirecting them towards the Executive Building.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yawns a bit.
09[20:22] <13@Jennifer> "Oh John, remind me later, I came up with a new move that I wanna show you."
[20:22] <13Dawn> <Chii> We can go for milkshakes.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <John> Sure.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles. "Alcoholic milkshakes?"
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran is before the reality gate, tinkering with something. Cheryl crosses her arms.
[20:25] <13Dawn> <Chii> Are we there yet?
15[20:25] * 13@Jennifer rubs the back of her head a bit, remembering this all too well.
[20:25] <13Chad`Winters> 6Diasl ooks over at Chii. 1"...REally?!"
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander peers at Chii now, oddly.
[20:25] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands near the back quietly.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* John yawns, looking bored, leaning against some equipment. Zephyr peers about
[20:26] <13Dawn> <Chii> Are we theeeere yet?
15[20:26] * 13@Xanatos stands off to the side, arms crossed, apparently here to see them off.
[20:26] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wow. 6He just shifts his hands behind his back.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, here's the mission. And yes, it's voluntary. Since the device isn't ready yet, we're going to go to Jen's reality and see if they've had trouble with these guys. Warn them if not. We'll only stay a few hours, since we can't afford to lose too much time there. HOpefully when we get back, Cran will have the device ready and we can get ready for our real mission
[20:27] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Cheryl than raises his hand
15[20:27] * 13@Jennifer fidgets a bit. "Alright."
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... What?
[20:28] <13@Cassandra`> Are there any buts here?
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> But what?
[20:28] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ok. IF they haven't, are we taking their crystal too?
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We don't know how yet.
[20:29] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Oh. I could just try to copy that alrt me.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't.
[20:29] <13@Xanatos> I think Cassandra wants to know if there is anything else they should expect. Could you not return from this mission, something like that.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sounds gruff.
[20:29] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slumps.
[20:29] <13@Cassandra`> Exactly.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't hand out guarentees.
[20:29] <13@Cassandra`> Ok, does this thing even work without vaping us?
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve moves in with a tray of the devices that recalls them back to their home reality by a push of a button
09[20:30] <13@Jennifer> "It works."
[20:30] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh we've used it before Cass..
09[20:30] <13@Jennifer> "We've used it before."
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Do you...forget it
15[20:30] * 13@Xanatos seems amused now.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks more annoyed than ever.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who's going? Those who don't will stay at the tower.
[20:30] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias raises his hand.
[20:30] <13Dawn> <Chii> As if I'd leave your side.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
09[20:30] <13@Jennifer> "I'm in."
[20:30] <13@Cassandra`> And remember what happened last time? *shrugs*
[20:31] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks over at Zephyr, tilting her head slightly. 1"May I ask why you are coming with?
04[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Of course you're in, Jennifer. We need you to lock onto your damn reality.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um. Just thought I'd do one last mission with you guys.
09[20:31] <13@Jennifer> "...Well yeah... just saying..." *she looks down a bit*
[20:31] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC smiles than bows. 1"Hopefully it will be an easy one."
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <John> I'll stay.
15[20:32] * 13@Xanatos peers towards John oddly.
15[20:32] * 13@Jennifer blinks, looking over at John. "Wha...?"
[20:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at X. 1"Ya comin with?
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <John> I've jumped realities enough. Until we're ready for the real thing, I'll just stay here.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hrm. I think I'll remain as well. Meeting another version of you would be troublesome
09[20:33] <13@Jennifer> "But if your Dias has been there, you might be able to help more the anyone right?"
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <John> Not really, no
[20:33] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> He's already been taken care of. 6He dusts his hands off.
[20:33] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel hangs her head, "I... don't think I can function reliably right now..."
09[20:34] <13@Jennifer> "Alright..." *she looks a bit hesitant*
[20:34] <13@Cassandra`> Well, since you guys are having so many drop out of this little jaunt, I'll take a go at it.
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs one of the recall device, putting it on her wrist.
[20:35] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Then I will remain to guard my mistress.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes one as well
[20:35] <13Dawn> <Megumi> Am I late?
15[20:35] * 13@Jennifer takes one and puts it on, she blinks and looks over at Meg. "Megumi-Sensei!"
[20:35] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs one and moves over towards X. 1"But if you want to stay, that's cool with me."
[20:35] <13Dawn> 6Megumi enters through another hall, rubbing her forehead, then pauses. 1"I knew it!"
[20:35] <13Dawn> <Megumi> Zephy!
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, Megumi. Come to see me off?
15[20:36] * 13@Xanatos peers over towards Megumi.
[20:36] <13Dawn> 6Megumi pouts slightly, then nods. 1"I figured you might. I suppose this means I may be lending a hand to the gate's fine tuning."
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <X> Do not get yourself destroyed.
[20:36] <13Dawn> <Megumi> Mostly math, after all.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I told you last night I was going. D-did you ignore me.
[20:36] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pscht. 6He waves his hand dismissively
[20:36] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves over and grabs a device.
[20:37] <13Dawn> 6Megumi plays with a strand of her hair. 1"Well, you know. Sometimes you feel guilty and stay."
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I said I'd only be gone a few days, and then I'd be there to help protect you guys again
15[20:37] * 13@Jennifer rubs her head a bit. "I wonder what happened to that other place too."
[20:37] <13@Xanatos> It's okay. I'll protect them until you get back, Zephyr.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thanks.
[20:37] <13Dawn> <Megumi> Because of the urgency of the matter, most other projects are on hold. I thought I would help this instead.
04[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer's body feels a bit odd as she stands there, and her device glows.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Cool. 6* She fiddles with her device as she talks
15[20:39] * 13@Jennifer blinks a bit, looking fown at her device. "Does it always glow like this...?"
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* As people look, it has stopped.
04[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Jennifer like she's insane
15[20:39] * 13@Jennifer taps it. "That was odd."
[20:39] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks at Jen.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <X> You are odd.
15[20:39] * 13@Jennifer looks at Cheryl and blinks a bit. She looks at the rest. "What?"
[20:39] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> X's right on that.
09[20:40] <13@Jennifer> "It glowed. I don't know how this thing works."
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander and Eve fine tune some things.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure.
[20:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh X. 6He glances at Cheryl than leans in, whipsering something to her.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to help Alexander.
[20:40] <13Dawn> <Lilith> Forgive me, mistress, general. I believe her, however.
15[20:41] * 13@Jennifer sighs and just figures she's having an odd moment, looking at the gate.
[20:41] <13Dawn> 6Megumi moves over to hug Zephyr, blinking at her having Chii.
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs Megumi back
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <X> No.
09[20:41] <13@Jennifer> "Well at least someone does." *she grumbles a bit*
[20:41] <13Dawn> <Megumi> This girl..?
[20:41] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll pay you
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <X> No.
[20:41] <13Dawn> <Chii> Who're you callin' girl!?
[20:42] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias scowls.
[20:42] <13Dawn> <Megumi> ...Oh. Her. I remember now." 6She nods. 1"Please look after Zephy's sister."
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sorry about ditching you for a bit. But with V.I. gone, I figured it was safe. 6* She tells Megumi
[20:42] <13Dawn> 6Chii eyes her, then hops down from Zephyr and goes to annoy Cheryl.
[20:43] <13Dawn> <Megumi> I understand. She is family and may leave for a very, very long time.
15[20:43] * 13@Xanatos peers at them all and then nods once. 1Good luck.
[20:43] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias hrmps and moves over to Cheryl, Alex and Eve. 1"I can help."
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Don't touch anything
[20:43] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> But
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> You touch anything, you don't get to go.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander finishes, then nods. "Alright, we're ready."
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Remeber, if you spend half a day there, you'll lose a month here, so try to make your observations quick
[20:44] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias grumbles. 1"I could do it if I wanted to. "6He huffs and walks away
15[20:44] * 13@Jennifer crosses her arms and looks a little withdrawn, she looks at the portal device. "Noted."
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tinkers with her device a bit more, then kisses Megumi on the cheek, hugging her
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <John> Well. I'll protect this reality while you're gone.
15[20:45] * 13@Jennifer looks over at John and smiles. "You better."
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods at everyone. "Everyone who is going got a recall device, right?"
[20:45] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at John. 1"With you and X guarding the reality, there's no worries.
[20:46] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just remember. If you ever need to tap a superhero in training. Marcus is good.
15[20:46] * 13@Jennifer taps hers. "Got mine."
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve begins to activate the machine, and the reality gate activates.
[20:46] <13@Cassandra`> I need a recall device.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve motions at the table with them.
15[20:46] * 13@Cassandra` goes and picks one up.
15[20:47] * 13@Xanatos shifts over to peer at the machine Eve is working on, finding it interesting. But he keeps his arms crossed and stands out of reach, so he doesn't have a chance to mess it up.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, lets go people
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves through it
15[20:47] * 13@Jennifer heads after Cheryl
[20:47] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias gives X a thumbs up and turns, leaping through it
15[20:48] * 13@Cassandra` moves through the portal.
04[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Jennifer nears it, there's a glow from her body, and her device glows again. Billy begins to appear as a crystal on Jen glows; a link forms to Billy from Jen's device.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy leaps through the portal.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> What in the world?!
15[20:48] * 13@Xanatos peers ahead, frowning. 1That was Billy.
15[20:48] * 13@Jennifer goes through, blinking in surprise. "Wha---"
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, then brings her hand down on her device, causing a slight spark, then leaps through as Billy begins to move through
[20:49] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves through after SPoC
[20:49] <13Chad`Winters> NRP: Zephyr, sheesh
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* The reality gate sparks, then powers down
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <John> Well. Uh...
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <John> That was interesting
15[20:49] * 13@Xanatos frowns. 1What on earth did she just do?
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> It appears she hijacked her way through
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> Location: Jen's Reality
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* As the team steps through, they can see the city looks devastated; buildings broken and destroyed, streets destroyed, and a dark sky. Cheryl pulls Chii out of her shirt
[20:51] <13@Cassandra`> ...so...was this how you left this reality?
04[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy and Jennifer appear at the same time, as does everyone but Zephyr.
[20:51] <13@Cassandra`> ...BILLY?!
[20:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around. 1"Something tells me we're late."
15[20:51] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Billy, blinking. "How did you do that?"
04[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at a faux device on her wrist. "Your debt to me is paid, Jennifer."
[20:51] <13Dawn> <Chii> What the fuck happened here?
[20:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC glances around. 1"I do not see Zephyr anyhwere."
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances around for Zephyr. "Zephyr? Goddammit."
09[20:52] <13@Jennifer> "...Okay."
[20:52] <13Dawn> <Chii> Phinee's missing!?
15[20:52] * 13@Jennifer blinks and looks around. "I thought she was right behind me..."
[20:52] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> She was right infront of me.
[20:52] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC frowns.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy glances around now, a serious expression
15[20:53] * 13@Jennifer looks about. "...We didn't leave it like this."
[20:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Zephyr's gone? 6He turns around. 1"Fuck."
09[20:53] <13@Jennifer> "Something's happened."
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy leaps back and shadowports.
15[20:53] * 13@Jennifer sighs, "And Billy is clearly up to something."
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... .... we should go the place the others were using as a base of operations...figure this out. Then we'll head home and try to find Zephyr.
[20:54] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC nods. 1"Please lead the way so we can finish this quickly."
[20:54] <13@Cassandra`> What about Billy?
09[20:54] <13@Jennifer> "Yeah..."
[20:54] <13Dawn> <Chii> Damn it..
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Billy can clearly take care of herself. 6* She turns and moves down the street.
15[20:54] * 13@Cassandra` starts following Cheryl.
[20:54] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias runs his hand through his hair and jogs after Cheryl
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:55] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves after the others
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> Location: Tower of C.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits at a table with those still behind. "Do you think Billy intends to do them harm in the other reality?" 6* He asks. John shrugs
[20:55] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head once. 1She never seemed violent against us before.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina hmms, looking concerned. "She's been acting odd lately. I can't read her mind, but her emotions have been dark."
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Murderous, even
[20:56] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I don't get it...why? Nothing has changed has it?
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <John> We could ask Chii's twin.
[20:57] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Freyja? I think if she had any idea, she would've tried to stop her, wouldn't she?
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> .... Freyja might not know what Billy was intending to do. We could find her, and possiblely send her through the reality gate to find out
[20:58] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Where would we find her, then? 6He looks to Paladin.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> The shrine, I imagine.
[20:59] <13@Xanatos> I'll get a shuttle ready. 6He stands and moves to step out.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> Location: Shrine of the Fox
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin stands there, peering at the shrine silently. John looks about
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> <John> Seems a bit too dull
15[20:59] * 13@Xanatos walks up and around to the backside of the shrine.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina closes her eyes, trying to feel Freyja out emotionally.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves toward the lake, glancing at his own reflection
[21:00] <13Dawn> 6Freyja's in the back, now using a watering can on the flowering vines
[21:00] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs a hand through his hair, messing it slightly, then pats it back out.
[21:00] <13@Xanatos> Freyja. 6He says after rounding the shrine.
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I hope the others are safe. That other reality was very twisted.
[21:01] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You're telling me. I hated that place.
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I hope they get back before the planned wedding date.
[21:02] <13Dawn> <Freyja> Eh? You've returned?
[21:02] <13@Xanatos> I'm afraid this isn't a personal visit. Could you come with me. Billy has done...well something.
[21:02] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah jeez, you think if they don't get back in time that we'll be able to delay it some?
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course. It would just be nice if we didn't have to
[21:03] <13Dawn> <Freyja> Billy?" 6She blinks and sets the can down. 1"What is it?"
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-

14[21:03] * Dawn (nya@cpe-72-177-124-105.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited)
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks her head out of hay, shaking it, then stops to eye a pair of sea turtle eyeing her
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stands on his sea turtle, proudly.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> A beautiful lady has fallen from the sky.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* John glances at Dias. "Ai, mate?"
[21:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pops up from behind his sea turtle. 1"Aye. She be a fine catch too."
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the two, then glances around. "Oh, good, I made it. Gotta go." 6* She rushes past them and knocks them both off the turtles.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* John flails and lands on his butt.
[21:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Tell me beautiful, did it hurt when you fell from hea-GACK! 6He falls over
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <John> Arrr. Our woman be escaping.
[21:06] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yarrr me butt be aching. Much like me heart now. 6He gets up and climbs onto his sea turtle.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <John> There be more jewels in the sea.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John gets on his turtle as well.
[21:06] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> But what is life unless we atleast hold onto every one atleast once?
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> <John> Arrr. You be making a good point. Let us get that jewel, then.

[21:07] <13@DeathStar> Location: Jen's Reality
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along the streets, seeing no people so far.
15[21:07] * 13@Jennifer looks around, frowning. "It's worse then when Cran was in charge..."
[21:08] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Looks like something hit here hard.
15[21:08] * 13@Cassandra` performs a sensor sweep of the surrounding area.
04[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Jennifer says this, a building's wall smashes in and through it steps what appears to be a Tsivrixsh, with glowing lines running through their body. One is holding none other than Angela in it's grip, his hand around her throat. A quick twist and Angela's neck breaks
09[21:09] <13@Jennifer> * Angela screams before it's cut off by the snapping of a neck.
[21:09] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes to a stop, eyeing the tsiv. 1"Looks like we know why, now.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks back at the sight, her eyes widening. John rushes out through the building hole. <John> NOOO! BASTARD!
15[21:09] * 13@Jennifer looks over, staring in horror. "Oh god..."
[21:09] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC raises her rifle, training it on the tsiv.
15[21:10] * 13@Cassandra` deploys a rail gun, aiming it at the Tsiv as well.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh turns and punches John in the head, sending him flying back along the ground with a grunt.
[21:10] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Orders?
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stop the damn thing.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip.
[21:10] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane comes stepping out, a big of blood on his head, he sees Angela and his eyes go wide, his face pale white.
[21:10] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm going in Cheryl. 6He sprints off towards it. SPoC opens fire at
15[21:11] * 13@Jennifer draws her gun and fires at it as well.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* John strains to sit up, and coughs up blood, falling back down
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shots hit the Tsivrixsh, pelting off.
[21:11] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stops, eyeing it
09[21:11] <13@Jennifer> "Why is everything so damn hard to shoot..."
[21:11] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias' eyes go wide suddenly and leans forward, to run faster and slides in low, sweep kicking at it
15[21:11] * 13@Cassandra` goes on one knee and then aims at the Tsiv at an upward angle and fires at the head.
[21:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over to pick up her body, dragging her back away from the Tsiv, eyeing her, still pale, he seems to be in shock.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes after Dias now, coiling her whip around her fist. It's swept, and the shot misses.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims from a building above, targetting the Tsivrixsh, her dragoon bustah forming. "DRA-GOON BUSTAH!" 6* She fires down at it from above.
[21:12] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes full around and leans back so Cheryl can leap over him
[21:12] <13@Cassandra`> Heads up! Incoming! *pulls back*
09[21:12] <13@Jennifer> * Angela lays motionless before him.
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> .... 6He opens his mouth to say something, but no words come out.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops as the blast hits. The Tsivrixsh breaks to pieces and then turns to goo that absorbs into the street.
[21:13] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias covers his eyes ast he blast hits and he stands up now
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's 15 year old body wavers, then she falls over the side, toward the ground
09[21:14] <13@Jennifer> "...She overdid it."
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Cheryl throw me at her now.
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias holds his hand towards Cheryl
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, then grabs his hand and twirls, launching him up into the air
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC begins to move forwrad now.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* The goo suddenly rises up around Angela, covering her body.
15[21:15] * 13@Jennifer moves over to John to check on him. "You okay?"
[21:15] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> No...NO! 6He tries to push it away. 1Not her too!
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Goo begins to cover John as Jen approaches
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* A Tsivrixsh rises where Angela was at, glowing lines all over it.
[21:15] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias reorientates himself as he flies towards her, grabbing onto her as he passes by. His body twists and he plants against the building wall and grabs onto a hole in it.
[21:15] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC eyes the goo and begins firing into it
[21:15] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself back, pulling out energy knives. 1Fuck...FUCK...
[21:16] <13@Cassandra`> What the hell?!
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to stare. "What in the hell are those things?"
15[21:16] * 13@Jennifer stops, staring, she starts to back away from him, mainly to avoid SPoC's fire.
[21:16] <13Kit> 6Chii brings her hand down, having already formed seals. 1"Doton, Raiton. Glass Prison." 6She brings up earth, then strikes it with lightning to shift its form on the Tsivrixsh rising.
04[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shots don't stop the goo, and they cover John up as Jennifer backs away.
[21:16] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I believe we should stay away from them.
[21:16] <13@Cassandra`> No equivalents back home except on a cosmetic level!
15[21:16] * 13@Jennifer moves back to the others.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rises, as Tsivrixsh now as well.
[21:17] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias hangs there as he holds onto Zephyr with one arm. He looks down at them. 1"Holy hell."
09[21:17] <13@Jennifer> "They turn the dead into Tsiv? Gross."
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The attacks on the Tsivrixsh from Chii cause it to explode, goo flying about. One lands on Jen's fake hand.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The goo begins to spread.
15[21:17] * 13@Jennifer tries to shake the goo off.
04[21:17] <13@Cassandra`> Reminds me of a Dark One tactic... Jennifer, ditch the hand!
[21:17] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I believe it would be best to retreat.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* It doesn't come off, and is about to reach actual flesh
15[21:17] * 13@Jennifer pulls off her hand and runs form it.
[21:17] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane seems to be focusing on keeping himself breathing, shielding himself from the goo, shaking some off of himself quickly.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The hand lands, and turns into a Tsivrixsh hand. It chases Jen
15[21:18] * 13@Cassandra` turns and fire an incendiary blast at the hand.
09[21:18] <13@Jennifer> "Oh god!"
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* The second Tsivrixsh gets to it's feet as Cassandra destroys the hand
15[21:18] * 13@Jennifer fires at it with her gun.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes at the second one now, punching at it's head.
[21:18] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Crap. 6He begins swinging and lets go grabbing onto a piece of hte building a bit lower. He begins to work his way down that way, moving away from the goo and tsiv.
[21:18] <13Kit> 6Chii pulls out both guns and rapid fires on the new Tsivrixsh, pausing intermittently to avoid striking Cheryl
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is punched, and then tries to goo Cheryl.
[21:18] <13@Cassandra`> I guess you have an appintment with the blue girl now! Don't melee with these bastards!
09[21:19] <13@Jennifer> "Goddamnit, I only have one spare..."
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl recoils now.
[21:19] <13Kit> 6Chii fires bullets into that which tries to reach Cheryl.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The bullets don't stop it.
09[21:19] <13@Jennifer> "Yeah..."
[21:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts around and dives to tackle Cheryl out of the way.
15[21:19] * 13@Cassandra` fires another incendiary shell, this time at the fully formed Tsiv.
15[21:19] * 13@Jennifer frowns. "I suggest strategic retreat."
[21:19] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC shifts backwards, her eyes darting around.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is tackled, saved from Cassandra's attack. The Tsivrixsh splatters and some goo lands on Cheryl and Kane's clothing.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* It begins to spread
09[21:20] <13@Jennifer> "Get those clothes off!"
[21:20] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Quickly. Remove it. 6He rips his shirt off.
[21:20] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias drops the remaining 10 feet and lands ina crouch. He shifts Zephyr over his shoulder now
[21:20] <13@Cassandra`> Damn it, take it off you two!
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, and begins to unzip her tactical suit and climb out, naked.
[21:20] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane tosses it to the side and checks his pants over quickly.
09[21:20] <13@Jennifer> "This isn't going to work, it'll just keep going till it eats everything we've got, then us."
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* His pants are fine.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* The goo absorbs into the ground again
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane's face is tense as he peers around slowly, eyes vacant.
09[21:21] <13@Jennifer> "I liked that hand..." *she grumbles and looks around slowly for more goo*
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Freyja falls from the sky after a gate opens and closes
[21:21] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins moving over to the others, staying away from any good he can see
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pants, not seeming to care she's nude, having only underwear on
[21:22] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...perhaps it has given up for now.
[21:22] <13Kit> 6Freyja holds her hands out, slowing to float, the wind kicking up her dress some. 1"..."
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the fuck is happening?
[21:22] <13@Cassandra`> Stay alert. We need to get to a secure area.
09[21:22] <13@Jennifer> "...I don't know... this is nuts."
[21:22] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...we should step inside. Perhaps some of Angela's....6He pauses slightly. 1Perhaps there is some clothing for you.
[21:22] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks over at Kane now. 1"Please explain.
[21:22] <13Kit> 6Freyja turns about in the air, as if scanning the horizon for something.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, then eyes Freyja, then Kane. "Lead the way."
09[21:23] <13@Jennifer> "Explain after we get inside."
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane turns to step inside.
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Through the hole.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows now
[21:23] <13Kit> <Chii> Reminds me of what Asmodeus did.
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his head with his free hand and mvoes after Kane and the others. SPoC follows behind
15[21:23] * 13@Jennifer following him.
15[21:23] * 13@Cassandra` moves after them through the hole.
[21:23] <13Kit> 6Chii runs to catch up, holstering her guns.
[21:24] <13Kit> <Freyja> Billy... .. .
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane leads them into what appears to be the school from before.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along, then sees an area where school uniforms were stored. She moves into it.
09[21:25] <13@Jennifer> "...Let me guess, we helped overthrow Cran, the planet was destablized, and during the confusion the Tsiv took over?"
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr groans a bit
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over to a console, peering at it silently, he pulls on a shirt afterwards, turning to face them as they gather into the cafeteria.
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Incorrect.
09[21:25] <13@Jennifer> "Oh well. So what happened?"
[21:26] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at Zephyr. 1"You alright, Zephyr?"
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out a moment later, wearing a tight school girl outfit - white shirt and skirt
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... yes...
[21:26] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> So do I get a kiss for saving your life?
[21:26] <13@Cassandra`> Dark Ones?
15[21:26] * 13@Jennifer grumbles and fiddles with the connectors of her arm unit that's left, closing something off on them.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... no
[21:27] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> A...being...traveled here, 6He eyes Dias now. 1He took a crystal of some sort.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks in, scowling at how she looks, but apparantly not wanting to be in a dead woman's clothing
09[21:27] <13@Jennifer> "Great, we're too late."
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr gets away from Dias, eyeing him like he were an enem.
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Damn. 6He sighs. 1"And it was so cool too."
09[21:27] <13@Jennifer> "So then what happened? What's this goo?"
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It would appear we are too late to warn them.
[21:27] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Afterward it appeared. Xanatos was it's first victim. At least on our side.
[21:28] <13@Cassandra`> What is it then?
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> It came out of nowhere. Just like you did. 6* She tells Dias.
15[21:28] * 13@Jennifer frowns. "...Out of nowhere?"
[21:28] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> My theory is that it was from...you. 6He notes towards Dias.
[21:28] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well we can explain how we got here. And a thank you would be nice.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> That Dias killed many people.
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> We thought we were fortunate to survive. Perhaps we were wrong. 6He says, glancing towards Zephyr.
[21:29] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Kane than down at himself. 1"Why would I do tsi...6He slowly looks over at Zephyr now, his expression turning to a serious one. 1"Did he have a scar on his face?
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great.
09[21:29] <13@Jennifer> "...Oh god... if that's true those bastards aren't just taking crystals, they're really trying to destroy the other realities."
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know. We'd have been attacked by the same thing if that was the case.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. He did
09[21:30] <13@Jennifer> "So maybe it's something else?"
[21:30] <13@Cassandra`> This goo thing did not appear in our reality. The question is what...and why a Dark One-enhanced Tsiv?
[21:30] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls slightly. 1"That Dias is why we came here. To warn you about him."
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't think it's a Dark One. It had glowing lines, not black lines.
[21:30] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> You should have game sooner.
[21:30] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Came
09[21:31] <13@Jennifer> "And Dark Ones didn't replicate by taking bodies, they used souls."
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd say we could ask BIlly to be sure, but she ran off.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then she's probably dead. The city is crawling with those things
09[21:31] <13@Jennifer> "Not Billy, she's probably in heaven here."
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If she gets gooed, she might not be in heaven
[21:32] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I don't believe I wish to meet this Billy, then.
[21:32] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> How long ago did this happen?
[21:32] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> You left 2 days ago.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> It started yesterday. The city was lost in a day.
[21:32] <13@Cassandra`> Billy is....mmmmm...she is like a Dark One...but not.
[21:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Cheryl. 1"We missed him. Fuck. 6He turns punching at a wall
09[21:32] <13@Jennifer> "It could be anything."
09[21:32] <13@Jennifer> "Maybe every reality has different evils."
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, not saying much; Chii could feel she's enraged inside.
[21:33] <13@Cassandra`> So one day after the crystal was taken.
[21:33] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> It actually has not even been 24 hours yet.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> We were trying to make it to Cran's building. It's been fortified and they're saying for survivors to go there on the radio
[21:33] <13Kit> <Chii> We'll still get him, Cherry.
09[21:34] <13@Jennifer> "Well, maybe we can get answers there."
[21:34] <13@Cassandra`> What about the rest of the planet?
[21:34] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls his fist back, cracks lining the wall where he punched
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Don't know. Won't be long, though
09[21:34] <13@Jennifer> "It came out of the ground, whole planet is probably infected."
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Chii, then out the window
[21:34] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It is most likely using the ground to hide itself, nothing more.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We should pull out.
[21:35] <13@Cassandra`> The fact that it keeps using the Tsiv form is what gets me...
[21:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at them quietly.
[21:35] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...We should atleast get these two to Cran's building
15[21:35] * 13@Jennifer frowns a little. She looks down.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's a waste of time. It could take a long time to get there without being attacked. We have our own problems.
[21:36] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not if you and Chii formed your gear.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. MAke ourselves a bigger target.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I get some goo on me, then I'm screwed.
[21:36] <13@Cassandra`> Aren't you flight capable?
[21:36] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...I understand. I do not want you to risk yourself any more than you have.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. Doesn't mean I'd be safe.
[21:36] <13@Cassandra`> Can this goo fly?
09[21:36] <13@Jennifer> "For all we know they take on flying forms and other things too."
[21:37] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Unknown.
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than head back. 6He raises his wrist. 1"These things will return us when we hit them, right?
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
[21:37] <13@Cassandra`> Can't risk it then.
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than I'll get them there.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head at them.
09[21:37] <13@Jennifer> "Dias..."
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And if it takes days? We won't wait for you to go after him.
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts around and begins to prepare something.
[21:38] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Kane. 1"How long to get there if we ran?
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Too long.
15[21:39] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Kane and frowns a bit. "What're you up to?"
[21:39] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias runs his hand through his hair than looks up at Cheryl. 1"What's the time difference?"
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Half a day is a month.
[21:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane lifts up a case, the sets it into something, sliding it onto his back. 1The distance in small, though the trip takes time, since we must be sure to hide from the goo.
09[21:40] <13@Jennifer> "So two and a half days about per hour."
[21:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I hate this. 6He kicks something
04[21:40] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers to Jennifer and doesn't answer, sliding pistols into holsters.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You going to leave this Billy here? Cowards.
[21:40] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> It is not our place to intrude, Zephyre.
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> NRP: -e
09[21:41] <13@Jennifer> "...She's got a point."
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head and moves to walk out of the room, clearly disgusted
[21:41] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Great. 6He sighs, his ego being hit now.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth, clearly wanting to go after the other Dias and get Ben, and find our Dias, more than help others.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> *our Zephyr
[21:42] <13@Cassandra`> Cheryl, its your mission. What's your call going to be?
[21:42] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane attaches a satchel to rest on the small of his back and then moves to walk forward. 1If you will excuse me. Good luck.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And if I ordered you to leave Billy behind, would you? 6* She sounds dubious
15[21:42] * 13@Jennifer looks at Cassandra.
[21:43] <13@Cassandra`> No.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Fine. We'll escort these two and try to find her. Maybe Freyja can locate her. 6* She moves to find her
[21:44] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps out after Zephyr.
[21:44] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias relaxes slightly and moves after Cheryl
[21:44] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC turns and moves after the two
09[21:44] <13@Jennifer> "Hey Kane, wait up!"
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> But if the situation begins to get bad, we hit our buttons, no matter what. We're not going to die and leave a recall device for them to invade our reality
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fumes in the hallway.
[21:44] <13@Cassandra`> Agreed on that point.
09[21:44] <13@Jennifer> "...Yes sir." *she nods to show she understand Cheryl's order*
[21:44] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> You are upset. Interesting.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Everyone's dead. Angela's dead. Aren't you pissed?
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out to the two. "Freyja!"
[21:45] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out and looks over at Zephyr. 1"We'll get you two there."
[21:45] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I am nothing no longer.
[21:45] <13Kit> 6Freyja's sitting on part of a fallen-in roof, apparently meditating.
15[21:45] * 13@Jennifer steps out in time to hear Kane say that and frowns.
[21:45] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC tilts her head at Zephyr, probably wondering if they had a past here.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Freyja, can you locate Billy? 6* Indeed, Freyja could find a direction that Billy's headed.
09[21:45] <13@Jennifer> "Hey now... you think Angie would like to hear you say that?"
[21:46] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Please do not do that.
[21:46] <13Kit> 6Freyja nods simply, quiet.
15[21:46] * 13@Cassandra` steps out after Cheryl, arms crossed.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Which way?
09[21:47] <13@Jennifer> "Like hell I will. I know it hurts like hell Kane... but people don't want those they love to just go off and die when they're gone."
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Like you have a place to talk. You left this reality and ran away from your mother.
[21:47] <13Kit> 6Freyja stands, then leaps down, floating to Cheryl. 1"...A ways."
[21:48] <13Kit> <Freyja> What is she thinking..?
09[21:48] <13@Jennifer> "...I know what I did. I also watched her die." *she clenches her remaining fist*
[21:48] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias winces. 1"Woh woh woh. Let's not get this way, alright?"
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Point it out to me. I want to know if it's close to where these two need to go.
[21:48] <13@Cassandra`> I don't know...she must have a plan, otherwise she wouldn't have tried this.
[21:48] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts himself, his face not showing emotion. 1I will ensure Zephyr gets to the safe house, after that, we will see.
09[21:48] <13@Jennifer> "I still don't think Mom would want me to die because of it."
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Your mother was emotionally broken when you ran away, and then died. 6* She walks outside
[21:48] <13Kit> 6Freyja eyes her, then lifts a hand and points toward the emanation
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Indeed, if Kane would notice, it's the same direction as Cran's building
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances upwards slightly, then nods ocne to Cheryl.
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> NRP: once*
15[21:49] * 13@Jennifer clenches her teeth and looks away, it wasn't something she needed to hear, being that she already knew, but the reminder hurt more then Cheryl's fist to her face.
04[21:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers towards Jennifer slightly, then steps out.
[21:50] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs the back of his neck as he steps out after thw two
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Same way.
15[21:50] * 13@Jennifer rubs some tears collecting in her eyes and follows after Kane.
[21:50] <13@Cassandra`> I doubt this is a coincidence/
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, Agreed.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out now. "Lets go as fast as we can."
[21:51] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Than it would be best to move fast.
[21:51] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. That will attract it faster, I believe.
15[21:51] * 13@Cassandra` nods.
[21:51] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than that just means we move faster than it
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't care. We don't have time to take it slow. You want us to help, keep pace
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Freyja, take point.
15[21:52] * 13@Jennifer moves over to Cheryl.
[21:52] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane doesn't say anything in response to that.
[21:52] <13Kit> 6Freyja blinks a little, then nods, putting a hand to her cheek, then relaxes, rising up into the air, then moving forward rapidly, her clothing and tail wavering behind.
[21:52] <13Kit> 6Chii hides some annoyance and takes off to follow her.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl picks Chii up by her collar, and begins to run after, looking pretty comical running in a skirt.
15[21:53] * 13@Jennifer heads after CHeryl.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks more annoyed, but moves after them
[21:53] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops up and down then breaks off into a sprint after Cheryl and Freyja
04[21:53] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves in after Jennifer
15[21:53] * 13@Cassandra` moves after Cheryl at a fast pace.
[21:54] <13Kit> 6Chii urks, then eyes Cheryl in surprise, squirming slightly.
[21:54] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane checks something on himself, then breaks into a run after them.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl puts Chii on her shoulder after a moment s she runs
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> Location: The Realm of the Silly Knights
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves through the city's marketplace, moving around, then bumps into a figure when she isn't paying attention; right into the Dark Knight
[21:55] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Watch where you bloody well go-6He pauses and eyes Zephyr.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her nose furiously, then steps back to eye Drasek.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Drasek?
[21:55] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> I-Y-You don't call me by that name, I am the Dark Knight!
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> The...Dark ... Knight? 6* She begins to laugh now
09[21:56] <13@Jennifer> * Angela peeks out at Zephyr from beside Drasek's other side, hanging off her amster's arm.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hee hee. Are you Batman?
09[21:56] <13@Jennifer> Angela> "...Is that some kind of monster?"
[21:56] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sneers. 1I see the King has his spies out.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh? Spies? I'm not here to spy. I'm looking for Megumi.
09[21:57] <13@Jennifer> Angela> "The waif!?"
[21:57] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> That ponce? Hmph.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You seen her? She still living in that forest?
[21:57] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell would I keep up with that infestation?
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey. Don't be so mean. 6* She scolds.
09[21:58] <13@Jennifer> Angela> "The waif is always mean to me." *she pouts*
[21:58] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek recoils slightly. 1I'm the bloody evil knight, it's my job.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, be quiet. 6* She tells Angela, then looks ta Drasek. "Just because you're evil doesn't mean you have to be mean."
[21:59] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...that's nonsense talk, woman.
09[21:59] <13@Jennifer> Angela> *fumes at Zephyr* "My master is the best at being evil!"
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, is it? 6* She gives him a scary look, crossing her arms. "What kind of evil Knight has a clown hanging on his arm?"
09[21:59] <13@Jennifer> Angela> "I'm a whore not a clown!"
[21:59] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> This is my whore, not my clown.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> She doesn't look like a very good whore.
09[22:00] <13@Jennifer> * Angela glowers at her. "Better then you!"
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, I'm sure. I'm not a whore.
[22:00] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Whore. Show this one how good you sucking skills are. 6He begins to undo his pants.
[22:00] <13@Xanatos> NRP: your*
09[22:00] <13@Jennifer> * Angela giggles and goes down on her knees. "Yes master!"
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to stare, then covers her eyes. "Oh gross."
[22:01] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> See the form? It's brilliant. Best whore I've ever had.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* At that moment, King Chad, carried in a seat by for people, and some guards, is taken his yearly stroll through his town, and by the fates, passes them
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> *four
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps covering her eyes
09[22:02] <13@Jennifer> Angela> "What are you, one of those lesbians I keep hearing about?"
[22:02] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well puss on my arse, there's the king git himself.
[22:02] <13Chad`Winters> 6King Chad raises his hand for his men to stop.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Les... Just because I don't want to see your ugly face putting his penis in your mouth doesn't make me a lesbian!!!
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr drops her hands, clenching them
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* They comply. Zephyr stops to glance at Chad. "Oh, it's Chad."
09[22:02] <13@Jennifer> Angela> "I'm totally better looking then you."
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snorts.
[22:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek motions Angela to her feet, tightening his pants again. 1Fancy this, the git's finally come from his castle to walk with the common lot.
[22:03] <13Chad`Winters> <King Chad> Arrest those two for public indecency. 6He eyes Zephyr studying her for a moment. 1"Lady Zephyr?"
09[22:03] <13@Jennifer> * Angela gets up and hugs his arm.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm? Me? Oh, no no no. Just, uh, a commoner.
09[22:04] <13@Jennifer> Angela> "I think we should go Master."
[22:04] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Psch. Careful about being boastful around someone that looks better, whore.
09[22:04] <13@Jennifer> * Angela pouts and glowers.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* At that moment, two land turtles come moving up, with John and Dias riding. "There's our jewel, mate. Let us take her and remove her clothing."
[22:04] <13Chad`Winters> <King Chad> My eyes do not deceive me.
[22:05] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances around and nods once. 1Rest assured, whore. You are better at what you do.
[22:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Shall we use the booze method of clothes removal?
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks as John and Dias arrive, then eyes Chad, then Drasek. "Oh jeeze...finding her is going to be harder than I thought."
09[22:05] <13@Jennifer> * Angela beams and hugs him.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <John> It might help if we tie her up, too.
[22:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Arrr. We could tie her up.
[22:05] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek makes a face at the being hugged. 1The Dark Knight does not hug, how many times have I told you?
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards move to arrest Drasek
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> 6King Chad frowns now. 1"I remember now...You are not my Lady Zephyr."
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <John> Oi, mate. The Dark Loser is takin' our jewel!
[22:06] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and pushes Zephyr towards them, turning to grab his whore and run off.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stumbles and lands on her butt
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks down. 1"The Dark Knight be remembering our birthdays."
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <John> Aye. We should be sendin' him a gift.
[22:07] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> We be givin him a gift later. 6He shifts to pick Zephyr up and toss her over his shoulder
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards chase after Drasek
[22:07] <13Kit> <Megumi> Perfect.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes out a noise. "Dias! You put me down right this moment!"
[22:07] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not until I we be finding a bed together, jewel.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stops. "Arrr. I be hearin' a familiar voice. The destroyer of cities, I believe."
[22:08] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek rounds a corner, pulling out a sword, to cut out for a cart and send it knocking over.
[22:08] <13Kit> 6Four pillars of fire slam into the cobblestones around the king's carriage.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* The four people holding the seat panic as they burn
[22:08] <13Kit> 6Megumi unveils herself as one of the passing peddlers, tossing the cape aside. 1"...Leave it to a whore to distract the guards."
[22:08] <13Chad`Winters> 6The King glances around at the burning then stands up.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr shouts out. "Hey, Megumi! I came back like I promised."
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* One man dunks himself in a barrell of alcohol, and burns more
[22:09] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe we be trade this jewel for another one?
[22:09] <13Kit> 6Megumi points to Chad. 1"Y'head is mine now, Lous-- ...E-eh..?" 6She turns her head slightly. 1"...Z... Zephyr!?"
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <John> Aye. It not be being worth the trouble
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waves from Dias' shoulder
[22:09] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> She be spotting us.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <John> Arr. Tactical retreat. Time to be usin' the sky turtles.
[22:10] <13Chad`Winters> 6The King stands there, then steps back, retreating
[22:10] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Deploy the sky turtles.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* John nods, then puts little fake wings on his turtle
[22:10] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps onto his turtle, quickly attaching fake wings
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* He then turns the turtle aorund and rides off on it
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr struggles to get free from Dias.
[22:10] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his turtle around and rides after John
[22:10] <13Kit> 6Megumi barely notices Chad's retreat, now fixated on the pirates stealing away with Zephyr.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <John> Arr. We can't be bein' burned today. We got more appearances to be makin'
[22:11] <13Kit> 6Megumi brings fire to her hand, then throws it after Dias and John, missing-- setting a stand that makes stuffed animals on fire.
[22:11] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Perhaps if we never let the jewel down, she will burn us.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stares at the stuffed animals burn. "ARr, mate. Put her down! Put her down!"
[22:12] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I be too afraid!
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms a gun and puts it against Dias' head. "Hi. This shoots energy arrows."
[22:12] <13Kit> 6Another fireball is hurtled-- and a flower girl bursts into flames.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stares at the scene, then just runs for it.
[22:12] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Are they filled with love?
[22:12] <13Kit> <Megumi> Come back y'curs!! That's m'woman!
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* The flower girl screams. Zephyr yells out. <Zephyr> Stop burning people! Bad Megumi, bad!"
[22:13] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops his turtle and slowly sets Zephyr down. 1"It be a pleasure meetin ye again. 6He hiyaas and ride soff.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches him go, then turns to Megumi, pointing at her. "No more burning innocent people!"
[22:13] <13Kit> 6Megumi runs after the two a short distance, apparently using wind magic, then shakes her head, returning to Zephyr, jerking at the finger pointing.
[22:13] <13Kit> <Megumi> Y-Y'can't tell me what t'do!!
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I certainly can!
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Drasek and his whore escape town once again
[22:14] <13Kit> 6Megumi twitches somewhat, eyeing Zephyr, then holds up a hand and tosses a fireball into a pet shop, exploding the insides after breaking through the window.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> That had so better have been empty!!
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> Location: Tower of C. 2 days later.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* X lays on a table, boredly eyeing the ceiling. She has Lilith next to her, having ordered her to entertain her
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina reads in the mess hall, at a different table.
[22:15] <13Kit> 6Lilith seems to be performing a sword dance.
[22:15] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus seems to be cooking, like usual.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hm. I didn't know you danced.
[22:16] <13Kit> 6Lilith pauses. 1"...This was part of sword kata."
[22:16] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Man i'm totally glad I didn't go now. 6He notes towards Kat.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Why?
[22:16] <13Kit> <Lilith> I did not learn formal dance." 6She hangs her head, shamed.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> Sword Kata?
[22:17] <13Kit> <Lilith> Routine.
[22:17] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Don't think I could go more than a day without seeing you. 6He gives her a cheesy grin.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at him. "It would only have been a few hours there."
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <X> Can you teach me?
[22:17] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh you're right...well...
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs a bit. "I just hope they're okay."
[22:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods once. 1Yeah, you and me both.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles softly, then leans back to peer at the ceiling. "So, I was thinking, what sort of music should we have for our wedding?"
[22:19] <13Kit> <Lilith> You wish to learn kenjutsu?
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes.
[22:19] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh man. I have no idea. Romantic stuff?
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, that goes without saying.
[22:19] <13Kit> 6Lilith blinks a bit, then bows her head. 1"I... I have never had an apprentice."
[22:19] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Aw. So much for Deathplunge.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then I will learn all that I can and surpass you
[22:20] <13Kit> <Lilith> I would be honored if that is your desire, however. I can honestly say there are few, even in my day, that could best me.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* X leaps off the table. "Let's begin." 6* She smiles, going to have more abilities to show Dias soon
[22:20] <13Kit> <Lilith> Except by numbers I never met one that could.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <X> Well, once I learn, you will meet one in me!
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> Location: Jen's Reality
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops at a street corner and peers ahead. There appears to be 30 Tsivrixsh with glowing lines between them and their destination a few blocks away, a tall building like the one in Tokyo
15[22:21] * 13@Jennifer stops shortly behind Cheryl.
[22:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peer around towards them and leans back slightly, thinking. 1We will need a diversion. 6He notes quietly.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* In the midst of the 30 Tsivrixsh is none other than Billy, surrounded. She peers about with a scowl
[22:22] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes to a stop. 1"We were bound to run into some."
09[22:22] <13@Jennifer> "There's Billy..."
[22:22] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stops and kneels down, training her rifle at one
[22:22] <13Kit> <Freyja> I can attack them all at once.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You do that, and she might get hit by goo.
[22:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and eyes Billy in the midst of them. 1If you can do so without striking your ally. I would do so.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* One Tsivrixsh rushes at Billy, and she hops up and over him, landing, not using her powers for some reason
[22:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...That's odd
09[22:23] <13@Jennifer> "What's she up to..."
[22:23] <13Kit> <Freyja> I have the eery feeling that progenitors have a hand in this.
[22:23] <13@Cassandra`> What do you mean, Freyja?
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Two more come in at her and she shifts to avoid them.
[22:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane slips the case off of his back and opens it, he begins to build a high powered rifel.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Because the lines glow?
[22:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Why doesn't she just do her teleport thing
09[22:24] <13@Jennifer> "Can we get her out of there without killing those things?"
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns
[22:24] <13Kit> 6Freyja moves out, swiftly floating across the ground alone. She holds up her fingers and whistles loudly.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* A lot of the Tsivrixshs turn to face Freyja, and Billy peers at her in surprise.
[22:24] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And why is Freyja drawing them all toward us.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck
09[22:24] <13@Jennifer> "She moved away..."
[22:24] <13Kit> 6Freyja continues her path around and past, continuing the shrill whistle for a moment.
[22:25] <13@Cassandra`> Not exactly what I thought she would do...
[22:25] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane silently twists a barrel into place and checks the gun over, lifting the rifle up, attaching a scope.
[22:25] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I believe she is distracting them
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy takes this moment and runs as fast as she can for the distance. She begins to tear pierces of her gothic lolita outfit off to run better.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* 10 Tsivrixsh agents rush at Freyja.
[22:25] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Running?
09[22:25] <13@Jennifer> "She can't use her powers..."
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She shadowported when she got here.
09[22:26] <13@Jennifer> "Maybe she had a little energy stored up?"
[22:26] <13@Cassandra`> We all saw that. she must have something planned.
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6He brings up the rifle to aim, firing a shot for one of the Tsiv, going for the head.
[22:26] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh she totally has something up.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shot hits the Tsivrixsh, splsahing some goo about
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* 10 more chase after Billy, leaving 10 to look about for more people. They begin to head for the team
09[22:26] <13@Jennifer> "Crap..."
[22:27] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands up now and begins firing head shots
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sets Chii down and activates her whip.
15[22:27] * 13@Jennifer lifts her gun and aims for head shots as well, firing.
[22:27] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls back a hammer, though it is an energy rifle, the hammer acts as a recharger for the shots. He would fire again towards another one that is advancing on them.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shots don't stop them, but do splash about goo
09[22:27] <13@Jennifer> "Remember avoid melee."
[22:27] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Thanks captain obvious. 6He sighs as he stands up now
15[22:27] * 13@Cassandra` chambers some incendiary rounds and then fires at the goo Tsiv.
[22:27] <13Kit> <Chii> If it splashes when you leave some behind... then don't leave any at all.
09[22:28] <13@Jennifer> "It's Cadet obvious."
[22:28] <13Kit> 6Chii forms seals for the fire element, then begins a silent chant.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra takes out 4 Tsivrixsh
[22:28] <13Kit> 6Freyja changes her course to intersect with Billy's.
[22:28] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I believe it would be best to avoid explosives incase of falling goo.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy is splashed by goo and she rolls, quickly shedding her outfit completely. She gets to her knees, wearing what apperas to be a black ninja outfit under it
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* A Tsivrixsh leaps at Cheryl.
15[22:29] * 13@Xanatos pulls back the hammer and slams it foreward, firing once again, this time for one of the legs of the Tsiv attacking Billy.
[22:29] <13Kit> 6Chii finishes her chant. 1"Cherry! Futon!"
09[22:29] <13@Jennifer> "Not to self, if we ever have to come back, wear layers."
[22:29] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Kane
[22:29] <13Kit> <Chii> Blow them back to the center. I'll take care of it.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps back from the Tsivrixsh
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl focuses
[22:29] <13Kit> 6Chii holds both hands up, closing her eyes, taking a deep breath.
[22:29] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his stance to a defensive one
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy gets to her feet, then runs for it again
15[22:29] * 13@Jennifer keeps firing, taking care to avoid shooting at places that would make goo splash into their fearless leader.
[22:30] <13Kit> 6Freyja flies in quickly, reaching out to grab Billy.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forms a seal. "Futon!" 6* She aims at the Tsivrixsh
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy is grabbed, struggling. "Freyja!?"
[22:30] <13Kit> 6Freyja brings them upward quietly, peering back down to see if they're still followed.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* They stop to stare up at them, then begin to launch goo up in teh sky.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh pulls back after Cheryl's attack, and begin to fire goo at them. One splashes Zephyr.
09[22:31] <13@Jennifer> "Zeph!"
[22:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane's eyes widen. 1Zephy-
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets out a scream as she begins to get covered. Cheryl whips around
[22:31] <13@Cassandra`> We need a change of tactics here!
[22:31] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to look at Zephyr, seeing if it's hit skin yet
09[22:31] <13@Jennifer> "G-Get it off her!"
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's covered up almost instantly, a Tsivrixsh. It tackles Cheryl.
[22:31] <13@Cassandra`> Too late!
[22:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias tenses now that Cheryls tackled and he leaps at the thing, shoulder ramming it
[22:32] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ....6He frowns, sliding his hand back into the pouch on his back, shifting a bit to avoid being struck by a goo attack.
[22:32] <13Kit> 6Chii opens her eyes bringing her hands down, the area illuminated by the lively colour of flames as she brings down an oversized fireball. 1"Zettai katon! Incinerate!"
09[22:32] <13@Jennifer> "Oh god... Cheryl!" *she puts up her gun, since shooting it would make goo splash*
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is shoulder rammed and rolls with Dias. Some goo lands on Dias' hand
[22:32] <13Kit> 6Freyja winces, then brings them higher to get out of range, forming a small barrier. 1"What's going on, Billy/"
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Beats me. I just sense mindless corrupted evil.
[22:33] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes off the ground and lands, sliding backwards, his eyes quickly darting to his hand and he tries pulling his glove off
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet, screaming. "Get to Cran's fucking building." 6* She moves after Dias. Chii's fireball hits a good many.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* The glove is pulled off. It turns into a Tsivrixsh hand
[22:33] <13Kit> <Freyja> Why didn't you--" 6She lightsteps back to the corner where they were hiding originally to lose their pursuers for a moment.
[22:33] <13@Cassandra`> Everyone, move! *starts running*
09[22:33] <13@Jennifer> "You heard the lady."
[22:33] <13Kit> <Freyja> Just escape?
15[22:33] * 13@Jennifer moves after Cass.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Power's finite here. 6* Is all she says
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Now I need to get to that building, Freyja. 6* She struggles once
[22:34] <13Kit> <Freyja> Nothing to draw on?
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* The hand goes for Dias' face.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> ....
[22:34] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts himself, taking discs into his hand, then moves forward after Cheryl.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips the hand.
[22:34] <13Kit> 6Freyja scowls at her. 1"Stop struggling, our destination is the same. Give me a moment.."
[22:34] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps to the side as the hand comes in.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6* She stops.
[22:34] <13Kit> 6Chii gasps slightly, moving to follow Cheryl.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh that was Zephyr rises and fires goo at Cheryl.
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> You have heard the generals orders. 6She starts moving towards the building
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes go wide and he leaps at Cheryl now, moving to tackle her
[22:35] <13Kit> 6Chii rolls low and spins, hurtling an incendiery charge at the newly-formed Tsivrixsh
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces as she's tackled, sliding roughly, the shirt ripping a bit. The Tsivrixsh burns
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry. 6He gets up and grabs her hand to pull her up
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane's frown deepens as he moves forward.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* On the building's parimeter is none other than Cassandra Arakawa and Setsuna, firing shots to keep Tsivrixsh at bay, opening the gates for the team.
[22:36] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves through the gate and turns, firing at the tsiv to assist the two
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, and runs with Dias
[22:36] <13Kit> 6Chii sprints like a desperate ninja
15[22:36] * 13@Jennifer slips through the gate.
[22:37] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias sprints after Cheryl.
[22:37] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves through and turns to kneel beside SPoC, using his rifle to fire at Tsiv as well.
[22:37] <13Kit> 6Freyja appears beside Cheryl after a moment, quickly looking to get her bearings, then follows the rushing team
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy is carried along, despite being so bigh
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets in through the gate. They begin to slow close.
[22:37] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps in after her, sliding to a stop
15[22:38] * 13@Jennifer pulls the energy clip out of her gun and replaces it before moving back to join SPoC, firing as well to support.
15[22:38] * 13@Cassandra` skids to a stop as she passes through the gate.
[22:38] <13Kit> 6Freyja struggles to make it through carrying another asian girl her size
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* The gates close a moment later. Cheryl hisses. "Okay, we need to find out what the fuck they are in case they show up in our reality."
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh seem to retreat for now, dissolving into the ground
[22:38] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to break down the rifle, silent.
[22:38] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe these guys can tell us. 6He looks over at Kane. 1"Sorry about Zephyr
09[22:38] <13@Jennifer> "Yeah..."
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Billy gets herself free of Freyja. "Thanks..."
[22:39] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ....6He doesn't reply.
[22:39] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC pulls her clip out and drops it than slides in a new one
15[22:39] * 13@Jennifer rubs the back of her head. Looking at Kane, the last of her heroes from this reality.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a few breaths, eyeing her school girl outfit being torn somewhat now
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* A man that looks like Darien Starr steps out. "This way, please." 6* He motions at the building doors.
[22:40] <13Kit> <Freyja> You don't need to thank me, Billy... just tell me what you're thinking..
15[22:40] * 13@Jennifer blinks, "Mister Starr?"
[22:40] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances over at Darien then looks at Cheryl
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy frowns, peering away
[22:40] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC begins moving towards the building
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
[22:41] <13Kit> 6Freyja frowns also, holding her sides.
09[22:41] <13@Jennifer> "Cool."
[22:41] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane slides the case onto his back, then stands up, moving to follow Darien.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, moving for the building herself now, clearly wanting answers now. Darien motions Setsuna and Cassandra to come in.
15[22:41] * 13@Jennifer mokes her way over.
09[22:41] <13@Jennifer> *makes
[22:41] <13Kit> 6Chii catches her breath, then staggers to follow Cheryl.
[22:41] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves alongside Cheryl
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Setsuna begins to get close, Billy's hand glows in darkness, and she suddenly forms a barrier around the two of them. She forms a black spire of energy in her hand.
[22:42] <13@Cassandra`> What the?!
[22:42] <13@Cassandra`> 6<14Cassandra6> Setsuna!
[22:42] <13Kit> <Freyja> ..Her mother!
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and peers over his shoulder.
[22:42] <13Kit> <Freyja> A vessel... that's what you wanted..!?
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Billy eyes the other Setsuna, and before she can move, stabs her spire into her chest.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Yes.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops, staring now.
[22:42] <13Kit> <Freyja> B-Billy..
09[22:42] <13@Jennifer> "What the hell..."
[22:42] <13@Cassandra`> ...now I understand what her plan was...
[22:42] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the scene. 1"That is..."
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out a pistol, eyeing Billy carefully. 1Hm. This is bad.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other Setsuna lets out a scream, in agony.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I'll kill her and put our Setsuna's soul into her.
[22:43] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias narrows his eyes. 1"You'll kill someone for that?!"
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Yes. I would.
[22:43] <13Kit> <Freyja> Billy... there might be another way.
09[22:43] <13@Jennifer> "B-Billy..."
[22:43] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Selfish.
[22:44] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias clenches his fists as he eyes Billy.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> This reality is doomed anyway. It's only a matter of time before those things storm this building. She'll serve a better purpose for us.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dammit, Billy.
[22:44] <13@Cassandra`> 6* The second Cass pounds on the barrier with her fists.
[22:44] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands there, apparently waiting for orders
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other Darien motions for their Cassandra to shoot, and begins to call more guards.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Billy, let her go right now!
[22:45] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> THIS IS WRONG BILLY!
[22:45] <13Kit> 6Freyja puts a hand to her face, gazing to the side. 1"Billy, I implore you get her permission first. But ...I can do it another way."
09[22:45] <13@Jennifer> "This isn't right... not at all... goddamnit Billy!"
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Like I care about wrong or right. I'm a Dark One, stupid.
[22:45] <13@Cassandra`> 6* The other Cass pulls back and fires a round into the barrier.
[22:45] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls and begins walking towards the barrier
09[22:45] <13@Jennifer> "You're more then that! You're a person!"
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Setsuna> S-Stop...please...
[22:46] <13Kit> <Freyja> The same way Chii came to be.
[22:46] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Freyja.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forms her whip, coiling it around her fist.
[22:46] <13@Cassandra`> ...Billy...did you ask our Setsuna what she wanted...?
[22:46] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane aims the pistol towards Billy, his face scrunched up at this.
[22:46] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls his fist back and leaps at the barrier, swinging his fist into it
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I can't talk to her. All I can do is feel her inside me every day. Sometimes I think I'm her. You'd be happier having her back and you know it.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The barrier seems to hold against the attacks.
[22:47] <13@Cassandra`> ...and would Setsuna want to be brought back like this?
[22:47] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias continues pounding his fists against the barrier
[22:47] <13Kit> 6Freyja grinds her teeth slightly, then sees if she can use the lightstep to get inside.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Like I said. I don't care about wrong or right. You should have thought about that before you all saved a Dark One. 6* She pauses as Freyja appears inside her barrier.
[22:48] <13Kit> <Freyja> It's not right, no matter how you look at it." 6She reaches out to grab at the spire, pulling it away from Setsuna.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* The spire would shock Freyja upon touch. It seems to be made of pure evil.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I might be too weak to keep you out in this reality, but I've put a year's worth of time into this spire.
[22:49] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his feet apart as he pulls his left fist back again, growling slightly and snaps it forward and into the barrier again
[22:49] <13Kit> <Freyja> Had you even asked-- there's good in all people eventually." 6She grinds her teeth, wincing as it does.
09[22:49] <13@Jennifer> "Billy, you're justifying it with what you are, not who you are. Don't do this, don't go killing."
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* The barrier cracks slightly. Billy frowns, looking angry.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rears back and punches into the barrier with Dias.
[22:50] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the crack and pulls his fist back and looks over at Cheryl. 1"At the same time."
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, doing so.
15[22:50] * 13@Cassandra` raises a hand, covering her face, shoulders trembling.
[22:50] <13Kit> <Freyja> ... Would you?" 6She looks to Setsuna instead. 1"... be willing... that is, to .. give this child another ...chance?"
[22:50] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings his fist forward, throwing all his weight into it. 1"DUAL DRILLING PUNCH"
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Setsuna> I-I don't want to die...
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl punches into the barrier with Dias; the barrier cracks under their fists, and shatters open.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* More soldiers have arrived now, aiming their guns at Billy.
[22:51] <13Kit> 6Freyja smiles warmly. 1"Don't worry. I won't let you. Not like this. Have to decide quickly, though. Before everyone makes a mistake."
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Setsuna looks at her Cassandra for help.
09[22:52] <13@Jennifer> "Billy... just give her a chance."
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Shoot her! 6* He orders his people.
[22:52] <13Kit> <Freyja> ...I'm sorry, but if you shoot her, I'll be sure to kill most of you, if not all.
09[22:52] <13@Jennifer> "Wait!'
[22:52] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls his fist back than eyes Freyja dangerously
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane doesn't shoot yet, for whatever reason, Darien not being his boss.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tchs now
[22:52] <13@Cassandra`> 6* That other Cassandra takes aim at Billy with her assault rifle abnd prepares to pull the trigger.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* The soldiers charge their guns, iaming a Billy.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I won't let you kill that woman.
09[22:53] <13@Jennifer> "You do that she'll probably kill Setsuna anyway."
[22:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cheryl. We might have to use the devices to get everyone out of here.
[22:53] <13Kit> <Freyja> Don't get me wrong. Only the ones holding weapons.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. But unfortunately, Billy doesn't have a real device.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> On my command, shoot her.
[22:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And either does Setsuna.
[22:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Which means she's gotta back up plan.
[22:54] <13Kit> <Chii> Setsuna?
09[22:54] <13@Jennifer> "Freyja... whatever you're gonna do, do it now..."
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Setsuna seems to be in too much pain at this point to talk.
[22:54] <13Kit> <Freyja> Billy, back off. Now.
[22:54] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. 6He glances at his pistol, then peers towards the scene. 1Words will do little to sway her, I sense.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy ignores Freyja, just standing there. Apparantly she's not stopping.
[22:55] <13Kit> <Freyja> I can't do anything at all if you won't let me.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I didn't ask you to do anything.
[22:55] <13Kit> <Freyja> Exactly, stupid.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> That's it. Enough of this.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head, and moves it to punch Billy herself, probably to try to save her life. The Asian girl goes flying back, though the spire stays in Setsuna
09[22:56] <13@Jennifer> "It's nto going to help hurting her..."
[22:57] <13Kit> 6Freyja pulls out the string of glass beads and winds them around her hands, then grabs the spire with both hands, trying to remove it.
04[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Save your comments, Jennifer.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's voice is a throaty growl.
15[22:57] * 13@Jennifer frowns, but shuts up.
[22:57] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps at the Setsuna, reaching out to grab at the spire with his left hand
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy sits up, blood running down her lip. The spire begins to drain their souls as they try
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Stop that!
[22:58] <13Kit> <Freyja> Hrmph.
[22:58] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls as he grabs onto it with his other hand and starts pulling harder
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Stop it you idiots. You'll die.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands over Billy, peering back at the two.
15[22:59] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Billy.
[22:59] <13Kit> <Freyja> Would have felt worse the other way around. Just watching... It's not in m-- .." 6She peers at Dias. 1"...Us."
[22:59] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like hell I'll die from this. 6He tenses up and twists with his upper body to put all his weight into it
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy lets out an enraged roar now, and her aura spiking, black lines appearing all over her face and arms. The spire vanishes suddenly and Setsuna's body goes limp, but still alive, her soul still there.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snaps her head at Billy.
[23:00] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles back and falls onto the ground.
[23:00] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes the two silently, then peers towards Billy, lips pursed in a frown.
[23:00] <13Kit> <Freyja> G-gah..!!" 6She falls back as well.
15[23:00] * 13@Jennifer sighs with relief and rushes over to check on them.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The two would feel alright after a moment, their soul loss not permanent.
[23:01] <13Kit> <Chii> M-Man, none of our families are normal, are they?
[23:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pants as he pushes himself up
[23:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC keeps her eyes on Billy.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> You'll regret stopping me.
15[23:01] * 13@Jennifer checks over Setsuna, pulling out her medical kit.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over to look her over.
09[23:02] <13@Jennifer> "She'll live I think... but that must have taxed her a lot."
[23:02] <13@Cassandra`> 6* The second Cassandra moves over to Setsuna's side.
[23:02] <13Kit> <Freyja> Stop it." 6She grumbles, rubbing her head and sitting up partially, peering back. 1"If you want a body so bad, take mine."
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Never. 6* She shadowports.
[23:02] <13@Cassandra`> Billy!
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a tch sound.
[23:03] <13Kit> <Freyja> ..." 6She peers away, frowning slightly, then stands up, brushing herself off. She peers around.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now what?
[23:03] <13Kit> 6Chii scrunches her face, then moves toward Freyja. 1"Hey, you know, it might be time t--" 6Freyja disappears as well.
09[23:03] <13@Jennifer> "We should get her inside..."
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Goddammit.
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Cheryl. 1"...We find out what we need to and leave."
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Outside the gate, a loud rumbling is heard, and a giant Tsivrixsh rises from the ground.
[23:03] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> .... perhaps you should leave now.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks around to eye it.
15[23:04] * 13@Jennifer looks up and stares. "Good god."
[23:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC swings around to eye it. 1"I believe that would be wise."
[23:04] <13Kit> <Chii> More and more good news... d-damn it Freyja..
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not after we just lost two of our people. And not until I get answers. Those who want to pull out, do so.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forms her whip.
09[23:04] <13@Jennifer> "...I stick with my leader."
04[23:04] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Jennifer, it would be wise for you to activate your device.
[23:04] <13Kit> <Chii> I can't leave without you or her...
15[23:05] * 13@Cassandra` moves to Cheryl's side.
[23:05] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the giant Tsiv. 1"Give me a second to gather my strength."
[23:05] <13@Cassandra`> I'm not leaving without Billy.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I figured. So we stop this thing and find out what's happening
15[23:05] * 13@Jennifer shakes her head. "Can't... not when the rest of my team isn't."
[23:05] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers towards Darien. 1I do hope you have larger weaponry.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> .... This might just be the end of humanity.
[23:05] <13Kit> <Chii> Dumbass. We're here.
[23:06] <13Kit> 6Chii cracks her knuckles. 1"Start the timer."
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Forgive me if that doesn't exactly inspire me.
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> Location: The Sky
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy appears in the sky, seething with dark energy, somehow pulling it out of her very being it seems.
[23:06] <13Kit> 6Freyja appears shortly after, a bit lower. 1"Billy! That's enough!"
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy turns to face Freyja now, narrowing her eyes. "Never." 6* She zooms at Freyja, clearly going to attack her
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> -TO BE CONCLUDED-
