[20:00] <13@DeathStar> Location: Jen's Reality. The Sky
03[20:00] * Sammael is now known as Jennifer
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy twists and zooms inward at Freyja, firing a dark beam right for her, apparantly not holding back all of a sudden. Black lines cover her face and hands.
[20:01] <13Megumi> 6Freyja flickers, reappearing to the side, holding out her hands and forming the light bow. 1"Stop this, Billy! It's enough!"
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy turns, holding out her hands. Despite her powers not working well in this reality, she suddenly seems to burning at max. Black balls begin to appear around Freyja
[20:02] <13Megumi> 6Freyja bites her lip and eyes a place further above to relocate herself to, drawing on natural energies left in the area.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy throws her hand up, a dozen black balls flying up after Freyja.
[20:03] <13Megumi> 6Freyja exhales and dropes, soaring down through the air as if she had wings, ever the floating artist, not faster than the attack, but buying herself some time as she focuses.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy grips her fist closed, the balls coming in at Freyja from various angles.
[20:05] <13Megumi> 6Freyja whirls around and fires an arrow upward, splitting it after a short distance into an equal number of shots to the spheres, piercing into them with her own power.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The spheres flicker, then vanish as they're pierced. Billy says nothing, floating there.
[20:06] <13Megumi> <Freyja> You have to calm down. This is no way to settle things.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Didn't I warn you before?
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy lifts her hand at Freyja, drawing in more Dark One powers. "Don't count on me to save you." 6* She unleashes a beam at Freyja
[20:07] <13Megumi> 6Freyja holds out her hand, forming runic lines in the air before her, forming a barrier wall, flickering to life with light as she attempts to fend it off. 1"Billy!"
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> You shouldn't have interfered, Freyja. I may be a liar, but there's one thing I've never lied about. I am evil. I will do what I want. And I will kill those who fucking get in my goddamn way.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy unleashes more power into it, beginning to crack the wall
[20:09] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I refuse to believe that. There's good in everyone. No matter how deep inward it hides..." 6She winces, backing away slightly as she watches the barrier crack. 1"...You just have to see it. Look toward the light... The darker things are, the more vivid it becomes."
[20:09] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Unless you mean to tell me that I'm hopeless as well.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Is that what you tell yourself? A being who split herself in two to rid herself of darkness? And how did that work for you, Freyja?
[20:10] <13Megumi> 6Freyja winces more at that. 1"Heh... I know. This holy affinity is such a joke, isn't it?"
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy cuts off her attack now, flying up to level herself with Freyja, looking like Chii now. "Maybe we should do it this way." 6* She kicks out at the barrier wall.
14[20:11] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[20:12] <13Megumi> <Freyja> If I were still Hisui, you think I would any affinity at all? Maybe I wasn't meant to live in the first place. I promise you, though..." 6She shields herself as the barrier shatters. Her eyes flicker, changing over to the hunter's like the day she performed the assassination, reaching out like a snake's bite for Billy's ankle, quickly focusing. 1"I'll bring you back to Earth."
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes her ankle being taken. She forms a dark matter ball and flings it at Freyja's face, apparantly unable to do Chii's moves.
[20:14] <13Megumi> 6Freyja doesn't even flinch, relocating them both to the ground as she screams, slamming Billy via her leg toward the terra firma they've arrived at, leaving the matter strike way above. She takes a step back, tearing her hakama to slit it at the sides and taking a wider stance, holding out her palms.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy slams into the ground roughly, knocking pieces of the earth upward from the impact. She rises back from the hole, in her real form again.
[20:16] <13Megumi> 6Freyja eyes her, keeping a dead focus, but even still, someone like Billy could sense distraction in her, her energies being brought inward, but not toward her hands and feet, seemingly being used for something besides her strikes and physical fighting.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy shadowports behind Freyja, and throws out a thin beam that's 5 feet horizontal, aiming to cut into Freyja's back
[20:17] <13Megumi> 6Freyja jerks and makes the same jump as Billy, throwing her palm for her back.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy shadowports again, once more behind Freyja, a ball of energy in her hand as she strikes at Freyja's back
[20:18] <13Megumi> 6Freyja leans forward, dropping to her hands, then twists, scissor kicking at Billy before moving to get back to her feet.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy grunts as she's kicked, stumbling back.
[20:20] <13Megumi> 6Freyja springs at her, spinning around in a kick, immediately sending in a flurry of palm thrusts, in an offensive push trying to leave no openings to counter.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy is hit again and again, making faces as she keeps trying to step back, clearly not much for a physical fighter without her Adam soul. She lets out an enraged scream, attempting to let lose a dark energy burst from her body to throw Freyja back
[20:22] <13Megumi> 6Freyja crosses her arms and strains, floating backward across the ground just to evade being tossled like a ragdoll.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> .... ....
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to gather all the dark energy she can to herself, the ground beginning to shake as she seems to be using someone elses' power other than her own, but having only her soul and one other, it would take little guess who's soul that might be
[20:24] <13Megumi> <Freyja> That's enough!
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy ignores her, forming dark energy balls in both hands
[20:24] <13Megumi> 6Freyja makes one last jump, taking all the energy she was gathering earlier, reaching out to shove her palm to Billy's chest-- resounding the sound of a bell.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy doesn't counter, instead swinging both balls inward at Freyja's head
[20:25] <13Megumi> 6Freyja creates an inner realm right at the impact point, drawing in herself, Billy and the third soul present.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* The third soul no longer seems to exist, as if it vanished. Billy jerks as she's drawn inward.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> Location: Last Stand for Humanity
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* The goo monster brings down it's hand for the team, aiming to crush them
[20:27] <13SPoC> 6SPoC dashes to the side to get away from the hand of doom
15[20:27] * 13@Jennifer moves to the side as well.
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii and leaps to the side.
[20:28] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers up and then shifts his body around to dash towards the right, diving before he would get crushed.
[20:28] <13SPoC> 6Dias kicks off, leaping backwards and sliding, his breath returning finally
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* The hand comes down on alternate Setsuna and Alternate Cassandra.
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> ... DAmmit! We can't fight this thing. Everyone inside!
[20:28] <13@Cassandra`> 6* Alt Cass moves to the side.
[20:29] <13@Cassandra`> Pull back!
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien runs for the entrance.
[20:29] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself to his feet and eyes the monster as he backs up for the door.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* The hand lifts upward and two new Tsivrixsh agents stand there.
[20:29] <13SPoC> <SPoC> Orders.'
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get inside for now.
15[20:29] * 13@Jennifer charges her gun and looks at the others.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushers for the door.
15[20:29] * 13@Jennifer heads for the door.
15[20:30] * 13SPoC nods and makes a break for the door
[20:30] <13SPoC> 6Dias turns and dashes for the door
[20:30] <13@Cassandra`> Oh, hell no. *moves back for the door, tossing back some plasma charges on timed detonations*
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* The two Tsivrixsh agents rush after them
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides inside with Chii
[20:30] <13SPoC> 6SPoC moves in and turns, firing shots at the incoming Tsiv for cover
[20:30] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane turns and run as everyone gets towards him. He pulls out some silver discs, tossing them over his shoulder for the Tsiv as he goes.
15[20:30] * 13@Jennifer hops inside and keeps moving so others can get in.
[20:31] <13Megumi> <Chii> What the fuck IS that thing!?
[20:31] <13SPoC> 6Dias leaps through the doorway
09[20:31] <13@Jennifer> "A big creepy slime monster."
[20:31] <13SPoC> <Dias> I'd say a giant size one of those. 6He points at the two tsiv
04[20:31] <13Megumi> 6Chii eyes Jennifer. 1"...Jee. THANKS, JEN. THAT CLEARS EVERYTHING RIGHT UP!"
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* The giant Tsivrixsh begins to reach for the entrance . Darien's hands wave over the shield
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'm putting the hsield up. Anyone not inside is fucking dead.
[20:32] <13SPoC> <SPoC> Cassandra is not in yet.
15[20:32] * 13@Cassandra` moves inside!
09[20:32] <13@Jennifer> "Glad to be of service Chii."
[20:32] <13@Cassandra`> Raise it!
[20:32] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves back through the doors finally.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien slaps his hand down on the shield, bringing it up. The giant hand is repelled. The two other Tsivrixsh are hit by discs, and fall on top of Cassandra's charges
[20:32] <13Megumi> <Chii> General, requesting permission to throw Jen out as ammunition.
[20:33] <13SPoC> 6SPoC eyes Chii dangerously
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait, what?
[20:33] <13@Cassandra`> Three...two...onw...there they blow!
[20:33] <13SPoC> You will do no such thing.
15[20:33] * 13@Jennifer frowns at her and grumbles, crossing her arms, ignoring her lack of one hand as she does.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien lets out a few breaths. Cheryl shakes her head. <Cheryl> We need to figure out what the fuck those things are.
[20:33] <13SPoC> 6Dias peers outside for a second and then looks around, than at Darien. 1"I bet he can tell us what's going on."
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to look imposing in her school girl outfit.
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe the boss can. Come on. 6* He turns and moves down the hallway.
[20:34] <13Megumi> <Chii> Didn't you hear? It's a big version of the small ones.
[20:34] <13@Cassandra`> That was the most traumatic thing I've ever seen... *moves along*
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I just hope Billy and Freyja are fine.
[20:34] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around, then turns to move after Darien.
09[20:34] <13@Jennifer> "...The boss?"
[20:34] <13SPoC> <Dias> What's the worse that could be happening to them? 6He walks after.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into an elevator
[20:35] <13Megumi> <Chii> I-- ...I don't know. I felt something weird a second ago.
15[20:35] * 13@Jennifer moves after Darien in curiosity.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're becomine one of those things.
[20:35] <13Megumi> <Chii> Billy didn't seem pleased, you know.
[20:35] <13SPoC> 6SPoC moves over to the elevator and steps on aftr Dias does
[20:35] <13SPoC> <Dias> Oh, well yeah that could be the worse thing.
[20:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane gets on, peering at his hand, he glances up, eyeing them.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps in now, arms crossed
15[20:36] * 13@Jennifer steps onto the elevator and leans back a bit.
[20:36] <13@Cassandra`> I just watched myself and my dead girldfriend gets subverted by whatever that thing is... *steps on to the elevator*
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors close and begin to go upward. Darien eyes Cass. <Darien> It wouldn't have happened if your friend didn't weaken Setsuna."
15[20:37] * 13@Jennifer grumbles and pulls something out of her pouch, working on what's left of her arm's connector.
[20:37] <13Megumi> <Chii> Uh, it could have happened anyway, actually.
[20:37] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Be thankful that you haven't watched everyone your ever knew or cared about share the same fat. 6He notes bitterly.
[20:37] <13Megumi> <Chii> And for the record, it's her kid, not her friend.
[20:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> Let's not argue with the nice guy who's letting us stay inside here.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors open on a higher floor and Darien steps out.
[20:37] <13Megumi> <Chii> I'm just letting him get a feel for how fucked up it was. It was her kid trying to make a new mommy out of her not-mommy.
[20:38] <13SPoC> <Dias> I don't think he cares about those kind of details. 6He shrugs and steps off
15[20:38] * 13@Jennifer steps out and looks around a bit.
[20:38] <13SPoC> 6SPoC steps out now.
[20:38] <13Megumi> <Chii> Who the hell's 'boss' anyway?
15[20:38] * 13@Cassandra` steps off the elevator, not looking too happy now.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Standing near the desk, is none other than this reality's President Cran. He turns to face them.
[20:38] <13SPoC> <Dias> Ahhh crap.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> You're back.
[20:38] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and steps off, eyeing Cran with some contempt.
15[20:39] * 13@Jennifer sighs a bit. "Yeah.... we're back."
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> It seems disaster follows you around.
[20:39] <13Megumi> <Chii> You're ...alive!?
[20:39] <13SPoC> <Dias> For the last time, that wasn't me.
[20:39] <13@Cassandra`> I believe you will agree that we have bigger problems to consider.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> I agree.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms.
09[20:40] <13@Jennifer> "I feel like this reality's storm crow."
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* The building shakes as the giant goo monster tries to break in
[20:40] <13SPoC> <Dias> I think it wants in. What is it, anyways?
[20:40] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> This facility will not last long. 6He notes.
[20:40] <13Megumi> <Chii> ...Whatever. At least you can't molest me and use me for a weapon this time.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> I was hoping you could tell me.
[20:41] <13SPoC> <Dias> Looks like a giant sized Tsiv.
09[20:41] <13@Jennifer> "It came as a surprise to us too."
[20:42] <13@Cassandra`> We haven't seen anything like it in our reality.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> It came from another reality, we're sure of that.
[20:42] <13SPoC> <Dias> How do you know that?
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> They showed up like all you keep doing.
[20:42] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I have already explained this. 6He notes slightly, peering up, probably annoyed.
[20:42] <13SPoC> <Dias> Big flash of....flash?
15[20:43] * 13@Jennifer frowns. "Do you mean out of nowhere or is there some kinda energy signature we give off?"
04[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> ... 6* He just eyes JEnnifer, shaking his head. "We're sure of it."
09[20:43] <13@Jennifer> Jennifer> "...What I'm asking is how."
[20:43] <13SPoC> <Dias> That's not good. 6He eyes Cheryl.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> And what I'm saying isn't how.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl nods a few times.
[20:44] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks back over at Cran. 1"So you guys know nothing about them. Like how to kill them without being gooed?
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6 *The building shakes again. Cran shakes his head. <Cran> No. You all pretty much decimated our forces with your visits.
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> ... 6* He eyes Chii. "And our best weapons."
09[20:45] <13@Jennifer> * Jennifer just gives him a Warren face, and looks away, crossing her arms.
[20:45] <13SPoC> <Dias> In our defense, you guys pointed the guns first.
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> You got involved in our affairs first.
[20:45] <13SPoC> <Dias> Well...I guess we'll have to agree to disagree than.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pinches the bridge of her nose. "I wonder if we could get a sample of it."
[20:46] <13@Cassandra`> Not the time to be pointing fingers...we need solutions.
[20:46] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I do not suggest that. It's very risky.
[20:46] <13SPoC> <SPoC> Would it not be to dangerous to bring back?
09[20:46] <13@Jennifer> "Bring it into our reality? Wouldn't that be just as bad as it finding it's own way in?"
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not saying we should bring it back. I said a sample to study. Here, preferablely.
09[20:46] <13@Jennifer> "Oh."
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the two as they jump to conclusions
[20:46] <13SPoC> <Dias> That can't be to hard.
[20:47] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I was referring to the act of attaining such a sample. 6He notes.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias. "Right, you plan to will us a sample?"
09[20:47] <13@Jennifer> "It doesn't jsut absorb organics..."
[20:47] <13SPoC> Dias looks at Cheryl then closes his eyes and snaps his fingers.
[20:47] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks at Cheryl then closes his eyes and snaps his fingers.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. Lets think of a real plan as he does that
[20:48] <13@Cassandra`> Obviously not. It managed to subvert my counterparts, machine-body and all.
[20:48] <13Megumi> 6Chii pulls down an eyelid and sticks her tongue out at Cran while they debate. 1"Not my fault. Your bitch came on to me."
09[20:48] <13@Jennifer> "Well... what can't it absorb, we'd need a container right?"
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, looking more annoyed now
[20:48] <13SPoC> 6Dias opens his eyes and sighs. He snaps his fingers again and looks around
09[20:48] <13@Jennifer> "I mean, it ate my hand and all that was made of was circuits and metal."
[20:48] <13Megumi> 6Chii jerks, shrinking back from Cheryl.
[20:49] <13SPoC> <SPoC> But it also turned into a hand. Perhaps a standard jar will suffice.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> We could provide a container, if you want to go out and face that thing
[20:49] <13SPoC> <Dias> It'll be easier than hoping my powers'll work
[20:49] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> If it touches any of us, even just barely, we will become one of them. Remember that.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then stay in here.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran looks at Darien. "Get a container for them." 6* Darien nods and moves off
[20:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes Cheryl.
[20:51] <13Megumi> 6Chii eyes Cran, still looking mad, but kicks at the floor. 1"...Sorry."
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> For what?
[20:51] <13SPoC> <Dias> So how do we plan on keeping that thing away from touching us besides the obvious running aro...6He pauses as he looks at Chii now
[20:51] <13Megumi> <Chii> She was still your kid. Whatever twisted way, right?
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> If she lost to you, she was weak. End of story.
[20:51] <13SPoC> <Dias> Holy shit.
15[20:52] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Cran, raising a brow in surprise.
[20:52] <13Megumi> 6Chii hrmphs. 1"Still sorry. I reacted to a memory of my Cheryl and stepped on Phaeton. But it's not the same. Maybe he was different. I don't know. I never gave it a chance."
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Cran, then looks at Dias. "Someone should distract it."
[20:52] <13SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head and looks over at Cheryl. 1"...Ahh crap."
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll distract it.
[20:52] <13SPoC> <Dias> I'll distract it.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You'll get the sample.
[20:53] <13Megumi> <Chii> I'll distract it.
[20:53] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane looks annoyed again and glances up. 1It is possible to use a sword or some type of long reaching weapon to obtain a sample and bring it back to a container, do you think?
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And you'll help Dias. That's my orders.
[20:53] <13Megumi> <Chii> B-But! I'm a ninja. Distraction's my job!
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> My orders.
[20:53] <13SPoC> 6Dias rubs his face. 1"Alright. I should be able to do that."
[20:53] <13Megumi> 6Chii stammers. 1"If it's a matter of not being touched and runnin-- g-god damn it!"
15[20:54] * 13@Jennifer keeps her arms crossed and looks at the three quietly.
[20:54] <13@Cassandra`> Anyone here have any tricks like force field generation or rippling that I don't know about?
[20:54] <13SPoC> <Dias> I'm good at punching things.
[20:54] <13Megumi> <Chii> Doton.
[20:54] <13Megumi> 6Chii winces slightly. 1"Technically I could try devouring it but I don't think that's such a good idea given its properties."
[20:55] <13Megumi> <Chii> May have a repeat of Asmodeus.
09[20:55] <13@Jennifer> "I mostly kick things and shoot things." *she rubs the back of her head with her remaining hand*
[20:55] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers towards Cran. 6Do you have any spare shuttles?
[20:55] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers towards Cran. 1Do you have any spare shuttles?
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> No. What we have will be used to aid our escape when this building falls.
[20:55] <13SPoC> <Dias> So I just have to get close enough to nab a piece of its good...Or I could try and get it to shoot some at me and catch it.
[20:55] <13Megumi> <Chii> Escape to what?
[20:55] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> And where will you go?
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> Space.
[20:56] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I see. I pray that they cannot survive in space. 6He notes slightly
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien comms them from downstairs. "The container is ready."
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, lets go. Dias. Chii. Cassandra. The rest of you stay here.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves for the elevator
[20:57] <13SPoC> 6SPoC nods and stands where she is. Dias hops forward and moves after Cheryl
[20:57] <13Megumi> 6Chii hops up onto Cran's desk, eyeing him with a twitch.
[20:57] <13@Cassandra`> Ideally, we stop it right here. Otherwise, escaping offplanet may be the only solution...maybe call in some of the other powers to bombard Earth into dust.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran eyes her back, a clear look of disgust
[20:57] <13Megumi> 6Chii kicks at him.
[20:57] <13@Cassandra`> Roger.
[20:57] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmphs and shakes his head. 1You may need my help.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran is kicked anf falls back against the glass window
15[20:58] * 13@Jennifer sighs and holds her head. "Oh jeez..."
[20:58] <13Megumi> <Chii> Asshole. Even if she was a bitch, she had you in her thoughts. Can't believe you write her off like that!" 6She hops down and follows Cheryl.
[20:58] <13SPoC> 6Dias turns as he hears the sounds and stares. 1"What the hell?"
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns as well. Cran shifts off the glass window, which has a crack in it. He reaches for a gun in his desk now
15[20:58] * 13@Cassandra` rubs the bridge of her nose as she heads for the elevator.
[20:59] <13SPoC> 6SPoC tenses, her hands tightening on her gun.
[20:59] <13Megumi> 6Chii shoots backward into the desk without looking.
[20:59] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts himself to place his hand on his pistol, eyeing the scene.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* At that moment, the goo monster punches again, the glass window shattering. It's hand reaches through and touches Cran, who screams as he's gooed.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> God. Damn. Et.
09[20:59] <13@Jennifer> "...Crap."
[21:00] <13SPoC> 6Dias narrows his eyes at Chii then jerks over at Cran.
[21:00] <13Megumi> <Chii> Get the container.
15[21:00] * 13@Jennifer backs away as she watches.
[21:00] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I believe the order of staying her no longer stands. 6He pulls out his pistol, backing up.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip. The Tsivrixsh Cran rushes at them.
15[21:00] * 13SPoC swings her rifle up and fires a shot for the Tsiv crans head
15[21:00] * 13@Jennifer draws her pistol and fires at the Tsiv's head.
15[21:00] * 13@Cassandra` pulls out a cryogrenade and tosses it at the Tsiv Cran's feet.
[21:00] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane fires shots towards Cran, not aiming for the head.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shots do little more than slow it down.
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get in the elevator, people!
15[21:01] * 13@Jennifer runs for the elevator.
[21:01] <13SPoC> 6Dias backs into the elevator, his hand near the button
15[21:01] * 13@Cassandra` backs into the elevator.
[21:01] <13Megumi> 6Chii brings her hands up and forms seals, then hits the floor with her palm. 1"Doton!" 6She aims to slam a pillar of earth into the Tsivrixsh, aimed for the window.
15[21:01] * 13SPoC begins backing up, still firing at it
[21:01] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves to back into the elevator now.
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* The cryo grenade, freezing it, then is burned as it's knocked back out. The giant hand smashes through again, rushing forward right at the elevator. Cheryl leaps back for it.
15[21:02] * 13SPoC turns and leaps into it
[21:02] <13Megumi> 6Chii rolls backwards into it.
09[21:02] <13@Jennifer> "Close the door!"
[21:02] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to dive back into the elevator.
[21:02] <13SPoC> 6Dias reaches out and hits the button
15[21:02] * 13@Jennifer moves to the back of the elevator.
[21:02] <13@Cassandra`> Cutting it close!
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the elevator doors closing, then the hand rushing inward. She uses this moment to whip out at it, since she's not in
[21:03] <13SPoC> 6Dias grabs the door. 1"GET IN!"
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The doors open up again
09[21:03] <13@Jennifer> "Cheryl get in!"
[21:03] <13Megumi> <Chii> Cassandra, where's the safety device for this elevator? Analyze. Now!
15[21:03] * 13@Cassandra` does a sensor sweep.
[21:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and shifts to the side slightly.
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts as her whip doesn't stop it, and she leaps back as her hand is touched. She runs inward, eyeing the goo on her hand spreading, and she begins to wrap her whip around the wist
15[21:03] * 13@Jennifer shifts to a side as well.
15[21:04] * 13@Cassandra` moves to the side.
[21:04] <13SPoC> 6Dias shuts the door as she gets in
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6 Cheryl tightens her whip on her hand, as if aiming to remove it
[21:04] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at her and slips out an energy knife, ready to activate it and remove her hand if she's not able too.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* The doors shut as the hand smashes against the elevator, the door crunching inward
15[21:04] * 13@Jennifer looks away in horror, looking like she's spazzing out.
[21:04] <13Megumi> 6Chii kicks Cheryl in the shin, drawing one blade and activating it, actually slicing at her hand-- but at an angle to shave off part where it touched her rather than the whole hand.
[21:04] <13SPoC> 6Dias hits the main floor buton than looks over at Cheryl
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to curse at her, then makes a face as her hand is cut into. But since it's on her fingers adn what not, the goo begins to grow back
[21:05] <13Megumi> <Chii> ...Jeez. Talk about not to plan.
[21:05] <13SPoC> 6Dias quickly pulls off his hoody and grabs her hand with it, attempting to pull the goo off.
[21:06] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> If you do not severe it now, you will lose her.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dammit. It's just a goddamn hand!
[21:06] <13Megumi> <Chii> It'll take longer to heal, and more energy. I had to try.
15[21:06] * 13@Jennifer keeps looking away, looking like she's going to be sick.
[21:06] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Noted. But you're running out of time.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds out her other hand for Kane's knife.
[21:06] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane activates it and slashes down to sever it.
[21:07] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Er Wait.
[21:07] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane gives it to her after activating, ho ho.
[21:07] <13Megumi> 6Chii holds her blade out and forms seals with the other. 1"Hyoton." 6She aims for the bad wrist, freezing it at the same time.
[21:08] <13Megumi> <Chii> I'd prefer you don't totally immerse yourself to the point of hearing melodies, Cherry.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Chii freezes it, the goo spread stops. Cheryl pauses
[21:08] <13SPoC> 6Dias stares then drops his hoody. 1"Keep freezing it."
15[21:08] * 13@Jennifer looks over fearfully, seeing the hand is still attached to Cheryl's arm, she seems to calm down visibly.
[21:08] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. Perhaps we can use a frozen portion of the goo as a sample.
[21:09] <13SPoC> 6SPoC watches, clearly ready to fire on Cheryl if it comes to it.
[21:09] <13Megumi> 6Chii blinks, keeping the edge of the ice-element imbued weapon to her fingers.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* The doors open on the lower floor. Darien has another door opened on the other side, firing at Tsivrixshs invading down the hallway.
[21:09] <13@Cassandra`> It will thaw eventually...keep it frozen until we can get it contained...and oh crap.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing as her hand is frozen, hiding any signs of pain.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Get in here, it leads to a basement!
[21:09] <13Megumi> <Chii> I hate to say this, but remove the fingers, Cherry.
[21:10] <13SPoC> <Dias> Remove it later Chii, for now we need to go.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, nice, cut off my goddamn fingers. I'd rather do my whole hand.
[21:10] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and moves towards Darien. 6He starts to fire along with hims with his pistol, helping give the others time.
09[21:10] <13@Jennifer> "Th-THe hand's fine for now okay!" *she bursts out*
[21:10] <13Megumi> 6Chii winces as if it disgusts her to say. 1"It's still better than the original idea, and we'll have the sample already-- in the form its in as a parasite."
15[21:10] * 13@Cassandra` heads for the basement door that Darien indicated.
[21:10] <13Megumi> <Chii> And we won't have to worry about you for now.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like I said, rather do my whole hand.
15[21:10] * 13@Jennifer twtiches.
[21:10] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves out and dashes for the basement door
[21:11] <13Megumi> 6Chii eyes her. 1"You're a fucking dragoon. You'll heal fingers. I don't know about a hand, okami!?"
15[21:11] * 13@Jennifer runs after Dias, more to escape what she's hearing then anything else.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fact is I won't heal my fingers
[21:11] <13@Cassandra`> Come on, already! *ducks into the basement door*
15[21:11] * 13SPoC steps out after Jen and moves after the others, firing at the incoming tsiv
[21:11] <13Megumi> <Chii> I have, why can't you!?
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Guess I'm not special. 6* She twists and leaps into the other doorway, moving down it's stairs
[21:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers towards them, and then moves to go down now that most everyone is through.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to go when some goo hits his head. He flails about as it engulfs him
[21:12] <13Megumi> <Chii> Well damn it all. I'll find a way to reverse it, then!!
[21:12] <13@Cassandra`> It got darien!
[21:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers over his shoulder. 1Chii, move now!
[21:13] <13SPoC> <Dias> Just keep moving for now.
[21:13] <13Megumi> 6Chii gives Kane the bird and runs after Cheryl
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches the bottom, where a lab is visible. She places her hand down on the table and lifts the knife up over it
[21:13] <13SPoC> Dias runs down the stairs.
[21:13] <13@Cassandra`> .me keeps on moving.
15[21:13] * 13@Cassandra` keeps on moving.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien the Tsivrixsh turns to face Kane
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes the Tsiv and throws out a disc that is set to electricute. Then turns and dashes down the steps.
15[21:13] * 13@Jennifer reaches the bottom and looks around nervously. She seems completely unnerved now.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a door switch that could always close the door way
[21:14] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and hits that, then.
04[21:14] * 13SPoC steps in after Jennifer
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door shuts
[21:14] <13Megumi> <Chii> Wh-What are you doing now!?
[21:14] <13SPoC> <Dias> She still plans on cutting it off.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We got a sample. I'll remove the hand so we can study it.
[21:14] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane now moves down the steps, probably thinking that he won't offer Chii words of advisement, since she flipped him off for it.
15[21:14] * 13@Jennifer twitches again and turns away from Cheryl.
[21:15] <13Megumi> <Chii> B-But..!
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just brings the knife down, not one to wait on buts
[21:15] <13SPoC> 6Dias runs his hand through his hair and looks over at Chii. 1"God damn't Chii. You had to attack Cran.
[21:15] <13Megumi> <Chii> You're blaming me? Fuck you if you were too stupid to notice the window cracking.
15[21:15] * 13@Jennifer puts her hands over her ears a little too late, she lets out a whimper at the sound of Cheryl undoubtably cutting off her own hand.
[21:16] <13SPoC> <Dias> It wasn't cracked before you kicked him into it.
[21:16] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Attacking Cran did little to do with this Dias. 6He says.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's grip on the knife tightens as the sickening sound of the knife slicing thorugh flesh and bone and more is heard. She falls to her knees, then begins to rip her uniform to try to put it on the stump
[21:16] <13Megumi> <Chii> You really are an idiot. Why do you think I kicked him toward it?!" 6She pauses seeing Cheryl and turns, paling.
[21:16] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances around for some medical supplies.
15[21:17] * 13@Cassandra` pulls out a mini field first aid kit.
15[21:17] * 13@Jennifer just stands still with her hands over her ears.
[21:17] <13@Cassandra`> Here.
[21:17] <13SPoC> 6Dias just shakes his head. 1"There's gotta be a way out of here." 6He begins looking around now
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes several breaths, her teeth locked together in a grind. She doesn't say much right now, despite the pain
15[21:18] * 13SPoC glances around for a container.
[21:18] <13Megumi> 6Chii moves around the side of a desk, hurling.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* There are indeed lab containers around the lab, and scanners and devices
[21:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves to take the first aid kit, moving over to kneel down and start applying a proper bandage to the wound.
15[21:18] * 13SPoC moves over to to grab a container and brings it over to Cheryl puts the hand into it using two knifes
15[21:19] * 13@Cassandra` holds the kit out to Kane.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well. Heh. Guess my career in hand to hand combat is over. 6* She jokes through her pain
15[21:19] * 13@Jennifer pulls her hand and arm stub away from her ears slowly. She looks around then quickly diverts her gaze from CHeryl.
[21:19] <13SPoC> <Dias> Atleast you can still give a hand job.
09[21:19] <13@Jennifer> "Y-You can always get a hand like mine..."
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pass.
[21:19] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> You are still alive. That is something.
03[21:20] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, focusing more on her breathing and trying to ignore the pain
15[21:20] * 13SPoC seals the container than looks over at Cheryl. 1"If we are to study it here, we will need to find someone capable of it."
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Give me a moment.
[21:21] <13@Cassandra`> Cheryl, pain meds?
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out some pills and reaches them out to Cheryl. 1Pain pills. 6He then works to wrap it up.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head at Cassandra and Kane. "Need clear head.?
[21:21] <13Megumi> 6Chii continues throwing up from time to time.
[21:21] <13@Cassandra`> Understood.
15[21:21] * 13@Jennifer pulls out her medical kit and moves over to Cheryl, she pulls out some proper bandages and disinfectants. "How about this at least...?"
[21:21] <13SPoC> <Dias> I could always piss you off, that'll take your mind off the pain.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* She rises now, then nods at the machines. "Put it under the scanner, SPoC."
15[21:21] * 13SPoC nods and moves over to the scanner and sets it under it
[21:21] <13SPoC> It is ready. 6She steps back
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's a fucking sad now when... I ha.....ve to be the science nerd
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks over and sits down at the chair, sweat covering her forehead.
[21:22] <13SPoC> <Dias> I'm horrible with computers...and reading.
[21:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and moves over to the scanner, activating it.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forms her whip and pushes it against her leg, burning into it, then jerks forward to eye the results
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane reads over the results quietly.
[21:23] <13SPoC> 6Dias frowns as he moves upto the two. 1"Anything we can use?"
15[21:23] * 13@Jennifer slowly eyes Kane's work and puts the stuff away, mumbling a little and looking away again. Thankfully in time to avoid seeing the self mutilation.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm just seeing a lot of unknowns. Seems like it's some sort of parasite.
[21:24] <13@Cassandra`> That much we know.
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his chin, frowning.
[21:24] <13SPoC> <SPoC> We should download as much information as we can to bring back.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Hook a datapad into it.
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out a datapad and plugs into it to download the information.
[21:25] <13Megumi> 6Chii finally gets up, wiping her mouth as she returns, some red discolouration in rings beneath her eyes.
[21:25] <13SPoC> 6Dias grabs Cass and drags her over. 1"Where do I stick it into you, Cass?"
[21:25] <13@Cassandra`> ...before I volunteered...ok...give me the jack.
15[21:26] * 13@Jennifer slowly watches Cass with interest now.
[21:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps back after finishing and pockets the datapad, letting them do whatever they want now.
[21:27] <13SPoC> <Dias> Don't look at me, I don't carry jacks around me.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl switches whip off, scrolling through the information, entering things to look for with her good hand. Her left arm is shaking from the rattled nerves
[21:27] <13@Cassandra`> You're having a sexual fantasy now, aren't you?
09[21:27] <13@Jennifer> "Remind me when I see Ms. Myria about a new hand that I get a data port put into it. That's kinda cool."
[21:27] <13SPoC> <Dias> Only the finest. Now download away.
15[21:28] * 13@Cassandra` moves over and plugs into the computer to copy Cheryl's results as they come through along with the data already collected.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> KAne, put your hand in the scanner.
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane reaches out to do so.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a moment, looking pale, even for herself, then hits the scan button.
[21:29] <13SPoC> 6Dias steps up behind Cheryl and squeezes her shoulder.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias, stick your hand into it, now
09[21:30] <13@Jennifer> "So... think the guys from John's reality put this stuff here when they left?"
[21:30] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head to peer towards Cheryl oddly.
[21:30] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes Cheryl and shrugs, sticking his hand under it
[21:30] <13@Cassandra`> If they did, why not ours?
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scans it now
[21:30] <13Megumi> <Chii> We ran him off..
09[21:30] <13@Jennifer> "We put up more of a fight."
[21:30] <13@Cassandra`> True, but it only takes one drop of this crap.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. It doesn't match either of our reality's signatures, or your's, Kane
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Or John's, from what I remember.
[21:31] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> So this was not left behind by the other Dias?
[21:31] <13Megumi> <Chii> S-Something new..?
09[21:31] <13@Jennifer> "...Great... so there's more realities going around attacking each other?"
[21:31] <13SPoC> <Dias> So a different reality than.
[21:32] <13@Cassandra`> But what reality and why?
09[21:32] <13@Jennifer> "...Wait... John said their leader is always going on about saving their own reality... but I don't remember him saying from what."
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then we need to ask him
[21:32] <13SPoC> <Dias> I asked him to tell me abouthis place once already but he didn't want to talk about it
09[21:33] <13@Jennifer> "Said the same thing to me every time I asked."
09[21:33] <13@Jennifer> "He got kinda sad whenever I brought it up..."
[21:33] <13@Cassandra`> Maybe its from this thing?
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* A hidden door opens up and a man steps through. Weapon V. Caduceus. He stares at them. "Well, I came to talk to the President, and I find you all instead."
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to eye the Weapon.
09[21:34] <13@Jennifer> "D-Duce..."
[21:34] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Maybe he can kill the parasite and then reattach your hand
[21:34] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers towards Caduceus. He tenses up, hand moving towards his weapon.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Where is President Cran?
[21:34] <13Megumi> <Chii> Dead.
09[21:34] <13@Jennifer> "Slime ate him."
04[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus pauses at that, eyeing Chii, then Jennifer.'
[21:34] <13@Cassandra`> The thing broke through into the upper floors.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I see. I found a way we can beat the parasite. But with the President gone, I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.
[21:35] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> And where else would you look?
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> The Erusians or the Cartel.
[21:35] <13Megumi> <Chii> Who needs that slimeball?
[21:35] <13SPoC> <Dias> Woh woh woh. How do we beat it?
[21:35] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I see. Logical, Earth is essentially finished.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Freezing it works. I say we freeze the entire planet - merely blowing it up is too risky that the parasite will survive
[21:36] <13Megumi> <Chii> Hah. I figured it out before he did.
09[21:36] <13@Jennifer> "...Cause some kind of ice age?"
[21:36] <13SPoC> <Dias> We figured out the freezing part, but what about you know, getting rid of it so we can reattach a hand.
[21:36] <13@Cassandra`> Short of knocking the Earth out of orbit, how cna you manage that?
[21:36] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow. 1How do you believe you would freeze the planet?
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> It can't be gotten rid of.
[21:36] <13SPoC> <Dias> Well that sucks.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I will speak with the other races about adjusting Earth's course
[21:36] <13SPoC> <Dias> I'll just have to find a way.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias. We're not going to carry that hand around.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to stand now.
[21:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> What? God no. That's just wrong.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good.
[21:37] <13Megumi> <Chii> If he's the same sort of Caduceus, he shouldn't need the hand to heal you..
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus is already going back through his hidden door
09[21:38] <13@Jennifer> "Duce... wait, can you heal Cheryl first?"
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> No.
[21:38] <13Megumi> <Chii> WHY NOT!?
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* He steps through now
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers towards Caduceus. 1I believe if we ensure he can reach space, then you can go back to your reality. 6He notes.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why wait to go? 6* She notes darkly.
[21:39] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I had thought you wanted to try and get your allies back, despite the conflict between you.
[21:39] <13@Cassandra`> We could be the only humans left on Earth, right now.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We have no way to find them at this point, and going outside is too dangerous
[21:39] <13SPoC> <Dias> We can always hope they find us.
[21:39] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. You're right. They will find you in a basement with no entrances.
[21:40] <13@Xanatos> NRP: open entrances*
[21:40] <13Megumi> <Chii> B-But only Caduceus or Freyja could fix your wound!
09[21:40] <13@Jennifer> "Freyja and Billy don't need doors."
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The hand's gone, Chii.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl notes gruffly.
15[21:40] * 13@Jennifer twitches a bit again.
[21:41] <13Megumi> <Chii> ... I-- ...You're going to get all depressed again!!
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his face, peering around slowly.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's just a hand. You're the one with the problem, it seems. Fine. We escort Duce, then we go
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and moves through the door
[21:41] <13Megumi> 6Chii coughs, then shakes her head. 1"Fine!!"
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves after her.
15[21:41] * 13@Jennifer sighs and follows Cheryl.
[21:41] <13SPoC> <Dias> Losing her hand won't stop her
[21:41] <13Megumi> <Chii> But if I hear one complain about beating Dias with one hand, I swear to god!
[21:42] <13SPoC> 6SPoC moves afterwards and Dias follows along
09[21:42] <13@Jennifer> "Dias would tie his hand behind his back."
[21:43] <13Megumi> <Chii> Wrong Dias you fuck!" 6She follows after.
15[21:43] * 13@Jennifer frowns at Chii being so vulgar at her. She looks down, her attempt at calm broken as she walks along.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> Location: Freyja's Realm
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy twists to peer about, a look of annoyance.
[21:44] <13Megumi> 6Freyja groans slightly, then pushes herself up, going to stand before finally opening her eyes. 1"..."
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Are we in my heart?
[21:45] <13Megumi> 6Freyja shakes her head some, then glances toward the voice, focusing slowly on Billy. 1"...And if we are?"
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> It would be a bad place to be.
[21:45] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...Perhaps..
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy seems calm again, despite things, her hands behind her
[21:46] <13Megumi> 6Freyja winces painfully, then staggers some before straightening, holding her head, then finally focusing again, peering around-- looking to see what place this might have become.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's nothing but blackness around them
[21:47] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...Heh.. How careless of me. I should have known, right? Go ahead. Tell me.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> What's there to tell. You're looking at it. Don't like what you see? 6* She states. Before her is no longer the typical guise of Billy, but simply a dark one
[21:48] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Maybe I'm senile... I dont' see much of anything.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> There's because there's nothing to see.
[21:49] <13Megumi> <Freyja> A being of illusions, always seeing delusions, am I..? Heh..
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Everyone sees what they want to see when it comes to me.
[21:49] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Well. I was right about one thing, at least.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> And what is that?
[21:50] <13Megumi> 6Freyja closes her eyes and takes a pained breath, as if thinking she'll float in the blackness as one would in water. 1"...You do have a heart-- even if it's empty and barren."
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy pauses at that, and begins to laugh
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Of course a dark one would have a heart. All desires come from a 'heart'. The desire for control. Destruction. Inflicting pain.
[21:52] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...Yes, but do you know how those come to be?
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Tell me what you think, then
[21:52] <13Megumi> 6Freyja opens her eyes a bit. 1"You don't know..? I guess you weren't raised a dark one, after all."
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy shakes her head, returning to her fake guise of an asian woman. "Freyja. Have you ever heard the phrase if you stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back?"
[21:54] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Yes. Which is why Dark Ones long to wallow and create it, I imagine. If you know that much, you should understand plainly what the heart really is.
[21:54] <13Megumi> 6Freyja drifts along, probably not caring since there isn't much of a stand after coming here. 1"What one is and is born, that's just an excuse, but given heart you were born with your own lot."
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Don't make a mistake, Freyja. I may have a heart, but not in the idealistic terms you think. I have no problem with being who I am, and I never will.
[21:55] <13Megumi> <Freyja> You were given a container with to fill your desires and wants, the ones that raised you probably hoped you would fill it with their love and ideals, but in the end its your own decision, obviously."
[21:55] <13Megumi> 6Freyja shakes her head, sighing. 1"You're not doomed to 'fate' or anything so dismal. You are what you make of yourself, problems or not."
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Hm. Fufufu. 6* She crosses her arms. "Then are we done here?"
[21:56] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Were you raised a Dark One, this black depth would have been all you were ever given, but they aren't who raised you. Who raised you?
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Let us be clear. I was taken in because the team couldn't bring themselves to kill a four year old child, which I banked on. I may even have a soul now thanks to the man known as Junior. But who raised me doesn't matter - not if it were the Dark Ones, or Setsuna and Cassandra. I'm going to do what I want and how I want. As you've seen, there's no light here, because I've never cared about light
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Now. Are we done here?
[21:58] <13Megumi> <Freyja> That is funny.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy just peers at her, not really reacting to the comment
[21:59] <13Megumi> 6Freyja holds out her hands, grinning, forming her bow and a single arrow, drawing it back to aim at Billy. 1"My affinity may be a joke, but I'm here."
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Then you plan to shoot me?
[21:59] <13Megumi> <Freyja> So as long as I'm here, there's light. Light here in your heart.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Light. You. That's rich.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> You might as well stick a light in my chest and call that light in my heart.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> *lightbulb
[22:00] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Yeah... You don't care about me anymore, right?
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Who said I ever cared about you?
[22:00] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Well. I did see what I wanted to see.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy crosses her arms.
[22:01] <13Megumi> 6Freyja lets go of the arrow, firing it like any other time, but aimed to miss Billy.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy watches it go past her
[22:01] <13Megumi> 6Freyja drops down, like standing on a floor, then bows to Billy as the arrow comes back for her instead.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy creates a dark barrier to let the arrow impact on.
[22:03] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Pathetic. Are you so self-destructive you leap at any chance to die and deny yourself the pleasure of the world? Make no mistake, Freyja. I will not let you die in some misguided judgement to try to reach out to me. You want to end your life, do it somewhere else, and outside of my heart.
[22:04] <13Megumi> <Freyja> There is no pleasure in the world, watching the things I love wither and die.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Then I guess you should find some other pleasure. 6* She holds out her hands, and the black reality around them tears, replaced with JEn's reality, as Billy rips Freyja from her heart.
[22:06] <13Megumi> 6Freyja stands there with another arrow readied, as the two worlds always did remain seperate. She just stands there with it poised at Billy's chest, grinding her teeth.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> ... You fire that at yourself again, I'm not stopping it this time.
[22:07] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I don't think I'd miss you from this distance, Billy.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Oh? You'd really shoot me? 6* She laughs at that. "I'm done here anyway. Mission failed."
[22:07] <13Megumi> 6Freyja gasps once, then holds her breath again, as if dealing with a strained annoyance, they're practically face to face like when they 'left.'
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> So shooting me would make little sense. I'm not going to attack that other Setsuna.
[22:08] <13Megumi> <Freyja> She's dead.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I figured.
[22:09] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Letting you live would serve even less purpose than killing you-- if what you showed me was the truth. ...I .. I don't want to believe it.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy pauses at that. "Then if you're going to kill me, you better do it now while I'm still weak in this reality."
[22:09] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Damn it... Damn it, Billy.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> That's no way for a priestess to talk
[22:10] <13Megumi> <Freyja> F-Fuck you.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy fufufus, her hand raised to her mouth.
[22:10] <13Megumi> 6Freyja grinds her teeth again, eyes watering. 1"What was it all for..? How can you be like every other?"
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy pauses, then drops her hand to her side, a hand pressed against her hip. "I never told you what I wasn't, or led you to believe anything I wasn't. I tried to push you toward the one human who could show you what yo ueneded."
[22:11] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I saw it for myself and I still can't believe it. ...After all.. you tried to bring back Setsuna."
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Bring Setsuna back? You think I did that for love? I did it because I respond to simple dark desires. Her soul was trapped with mine and I wanted her back because it suited me.
[22:12] <13Megumi> <Freyja> And I'm just a pet?
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> ...
[22:14] <13Megumi> 6Freyja quivers more, her fingers tensing, and she actually loses a few tears. 1"What am I supposed to say to Cassandra?"
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Tell her I got gooed if it makes it easier.
[22:15] <13Megumi> <Freyja> You never lie to me?
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> If I say no, then I might be lying, wouldn't I?
[22:15] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I guess that's a risk, but I'm stupid, aren't I? Humor me.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Yes, I've lied to you before.
[22:16] <13Megumi> <Freyja> When? About what?
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> It's a long list. 6* She notes offhandedly.
[22:17] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I've never lied to you.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> That's because you want to believe everyone is good, so you can believe that you yourself is good.
[22:17] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I don't care if I'm good or not.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Then what DO you care about? Me?
[22:18] <13Megumi> 6Freyja pauses, caught in a stereotypical noose. She nods sullenly.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Funny, then, that you're pointing an arrow at me because you didn't like what you saw in me.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Hypocritical, isn't it?
[22:19] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Your right.
[22:19] <13Megumi> 6Freyja pulls the 'string' back tighter. 1"So do you hate me?"
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Basically, you made my point for me, Freyja. 6* Her expression turns a bit sour. "I'm evil, and you can't accept what I am, so you would rather end me than let my existence clash with your ideals. After all, what does it say if you care about me when I have no redeeming qualities, that I'm pure evil? Even Setsuna and Cassandra didn't want to believe that.
[22:21] <13Megumi> <Freyja> What did you want from me?
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I've never wanted, or expected, anything from you.
[22:22] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Then I just inconvenienced you.
[22:22] <13Megumi> 6Freyja sighs. 1"Pure evil doesn't save my life. Evil doesn't try to send me back to when I was happy. ...Evil doesn't covet mothers."
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> No. I think now you need to know that so you can make it easier for yourself. The fact is you are entertaining to me.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes her now.
[22:23] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I--...
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Maybe I did all that because I wanted to see how you reacted.
[22:24] <13Megumi> 6Freyja draws the light from the bow and arrow back into her hand, slamming her hand forward into a full-on punch. Chii's dubbed 'Final Heaven.'
[22:24] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Can't do it either.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy winces as she's punched, being knocked back into some rubble. "Bitch."
[22:26] <13Megumi> 6Freyja systematically draws back and fires six arrows, firing them in a circle around Billy. 1"Elemental seal." 6She holds up her hand, calling on the light element centralized. 1"Kai."
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes the arrows. "What...are you doing?!"
[22:27] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Being a good priestess. I'm sealing the darkness.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> A fate worse than death?
[22:27] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Maybe. But then I can keep deluding myself. I promised you I would bring you back to Earth.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> You seal me, and I'll be dead any way. You'd just be carrying a puppet back with with yourself
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy works o na dark shield as she speaks
[22:29] <13Megumi> 6Freyja draws in the air with her hand, the other holding the beads from her outfit, each of the pillars lighting with a glow akin to each element as she does, then holds the fingers to her lips, saying a silent chant. Apparently not phased by the threat, the ground under Billy drawing lines-- similar to Chii's devouring runes.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Freyja.... don't do this. 6* She pleads suddenly.
[22:30] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Sorry. You've lied to me with that face enough for now." 6She holds her hand up, spreading her fingers with the finishing movement.
[22:30] <13Megumi> <Freyja> We're going home.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> ... No. We're not. 6* She says, gathering her own soul for energy now.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> IF you plan to do this to me, I'll end myself right hee.
[22:31] <13Megumi> <Freyja> The only thing this will do is seal those powers of yours... I can't listen to those threats.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Before I go, just one thing. 6* She spits out her words now. "I may be evil, but I never made you what you weren't."
[22:32] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I'm truly sorry, Billy. Obviously I'm the villain again.
[22:32] <13Megumi> 6She bows to her.
14[22:32] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy says nothing, her face twisted in rage. She just uses her soul energy before her own energy is devoured by Freyja's runes. Either way, it ends instantly, and she falls forward, either from the devouring runes, or own suicidal tactic
[22:34] <13Megumi> 6Freyja walks over slowly, staggering a bit in the end, but kneels and moves to grab Billy-- or rather what she believed was, pulling her to herself.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> Location: Hidden Hanger
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus moves to one of the two remaining shuttles to get off planet. Cheryl holds her stump to herself
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around, then moves for the opposite shuttle.
15[22:35] * 13@Jennifer avoids looking at Cheryl's wound, despite casually having a stump of her own. She seems completely unnerved whenever she does.
15[22:36] * 13@Cassandra` moves along toward the shuttle, glancing at Cheryl.
[22:36] <13SPoC> 6Dias rubs the back of his neck. 1"What's taking them so long?"
[22:37] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane reaches out to lower the ramp, moving up onto it.
[22:38] <13@Cassandra`> I don't know...
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sits down to power it up
[22:39] <13SPoC> 6SPoC looks around.
[22:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps back off the shuttle, holding his datapad, he pushes a button to power up the shuttle he was just on.
[22:39] <13Megumi> <Chii> ..." 6She rubs her neck, peering away.
[22:40] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes Cheryl and moves over to Cad's shuttle and peers inside. 1"You sure you're not able to do anything about her hand, right?"
09[22:40] <13@Jennifer> "Billy and Freyja haven't found us yet either..."
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I can't recreate hands.
[22:40] <13SPoC> <Dias> Can you do something about the pain atleast?
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I could close her nerves off for good.
[22:41] <13@Cassandra`> That would mean no replacements.
[22:41] <13SPoC> <Dias> That sounds bad.
[22:41] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane hits a button to close the ramp, peering at Cheryl. 1I ask you allow me to return with you.
09[22:41] <13@Jennifer> "What Cass said..."
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait, what?
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I have nothing here. I want to help you, since it seems you plan to go after the Dias that arrived here.
[22:42] <13SPoC> <Dias> Well anyways, be safe, those things can shoot into the air.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus nods once.
[22:42] <13@Cassandra`> Good luck.
[22:43] <13SPoC> 6Dias steps back and mvoes over to the others.
09[22:43] <13@Jennifer> "Can we even take people back if they don't have a recall device?"
[22:43] <13SPoC> <Dias> Maybe someday I can just will you a new one back.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Fine. Just hold onto someone.
15[22:43] * 13@Jennifer makes a mental note about the touching thing.
[22:43] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Very well. 6He shifts to glance to Caduceus. 1When you get to the point, go strait for the sky. I will use the other shuttle to provide you a cover, though I imagine it will not last long.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the giant Tsivrixsh smashes through the hanger walls.
[22:44] <13@Cassandra`> Incoming!
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up at the goo monster.
09[22:44] <13@Jennifer> "Time to go."
[22:44] <13SPoC> <SPoC> How long will we...*She leaps back* I believe we should retreat now.
[22:44] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks slightly, stumbling. 1...damnit.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus attempts to fly by.
[22:44] <13SPoC> <Dias> Cheryl....
15[22:44] * 13@Cassandra` fires soem cryoshells at the goo to buy time.
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to have his shuttle lift up, moving after Duce's.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* The monster is frozen somewhat, but there's too much to cover. The goo monster fires ta Duce's
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane tries to get his shuttle into the path of the shots.
[22:45] <13@Cassandra`> Cheryl, make a call!
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Time to go!
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* KAne's shuttle is gooed, becoming a Tsivrixsh of sorts.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits her recall device.
[22:46] <13SPoC> 6Dias hits his device
15[22:46] * 13@Jennifer hits her recall device.
04[22:46] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane clenches his teeth, reaching out to grab Jennifer's shoulder before she hits the button.
[22:46] <13Megumi> 6Chii finishes seals and holds up her hands. 1"Futon, Suiton, Hyoton. Deep Freeze!" 6She drops frigid air on the goo monster.
15[22:46] * 13@Cassandra` hits her recall device.
15[22:46] * 13SPoC hits hers.
[22:46] <13Megumi> 6As Cassandra hits her recall, a hand is put on her shoulder.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building. Date Unknown
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The team falls in through the reality gate.
[22:47] <13SPoC> 6Dias groans as he pushes himself up
[22:47] <13SPoC> 6SPoC stands up, dusting herself off
04[22:48] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to make sure that he's not somehow Jennifer-ied.
[22:48] <13@Cassandra`> ...what... thought I felt...? *looks behind her as she rises*
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays on the floor, her wound reopened. Eve rushes in
[22:48] <13Megumi> 6Freyja stands over Cassandra, holding a five-year-old Billy unconscious. Or dead.
[22:48] <13SPoC> <Dias> Eve, Cheryl needs help.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, moving to the wall comm.
15[22:48] * 13@Jennifer mumbles and pulls herself up slowly, "I lost track of time there... how long have we been gone?"
04[22:48] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself to his feet, reaching out a hand towards Jennifer to help her up.
15[22:49] * 13@Jennifer takes his hand, needing the help with only one hand to balance with.
[22:49] <13@Cassandra`> B...Billy?!
[22:49] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves over to Cheryl and helps her up.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy's body seems to be breathing, but she looks like she isn't "There" anymore.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once at Dias, looking like she's in a lot of pain
[22:50] <13SPoC> <Dias> And before you say anything, you're getting taken care of properly
[22:50] <13Megumi> 6Chii shows up after a moment. Late.
[22:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around slowly, going quiet.
[22:50] <13@Cassandra`> What happened to her?!
[22:50] <13Megumi> 6Chii groans and rubs her head, then stands up, blinking at Kane.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* A medical team moves in and shift Cheryl on a gurney. <Cheryl> Let me go! 6* She snarls.
[22:51] <13Megumi> <Chii> ...Holy shit, I didn't get away." 6She aims a gun at Kane.
09[22:51] <13@Jennifer> "...Chii? What the heck are you doing...?"
[22:51] <13SPoC> <Dias> I said shut it. 6He points at her
[22:51] <13Megumi> 6Chii eyes Cheryl, then Kane, then Cheryl. She glances around. 1"...Oh." 6She holsters her gun.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls for Chii to save her
[22:51] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane slowly turns to eye Chii. 1...the term idiot comes to my mind. But that would be rude.
[22:52] <13SPoC> <SPoC> This is common practice with her, please forgive her.
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I have no choice.
[22:52] <13Megumi> <Chii> I'm used to it." 6She looks to SPoC, then looks back to Kane, shrugging as if to say 'see?'
[22:53] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head a bit and then nods. 1Your 'girl' seems to want your help.
15[22:53] * 13@Jennifer sighs and reaches up to scratch her head with the wrong hand. "...Damnit I need to get back to base and get my spare already."
[22:53] <13SPoC> 6Dias shifts to sit ontop of Cheryl
15[22:53] * 13@Cassandra` moves to take Billy from Freyja.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy's cold to the touch
[22:54] <13Megumi> 6Chii nods and runs to Cheryl, shooing at excess doctors.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses this moment to run for it
[22:54] <13Megumi> 6Chii dashes after Cheryl
[22:54] <13SPoC> 6Dias grabs onto Cheryl from behind and locks his arms around her.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes
[22:54] <13Megumi> 6Chii leaps up and kicks for Dias' back
[22:54] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face. 1I guess I'm going to have to learn patience if I'm to remain with this group.
15[22:54] * 13@Jennifer facefaults as she watches Cheryl try to run rom medical treatment.
[22:55] <13Megumi> 6Freyja gives Billy to Cassandra, her eyes downcast. She lets her head fall, obscuring her expression in pale hair and starts to walk off.
[22:55] <13SPoC> 6Dias grunts as he's kicked. 1"Don't make me."
[22:55] <13@Cassandra`> ....what happened?
[22:55] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...I tried to seal her. Because I didn't have it in me to kill her.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. I'll behave. Let me go.
[22:55] <13SPoC> <SPoC> It is very useful around her.
[22:55] <13Megumi> 6Chii goes to punch into the small of Dias' back when Cheryl says that. She pauses.
[22:56] <13SPoC> 6Dias snorts. 1"How bout I buy you a weeks worth of booze if you just let them take care of you."
[22:56] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...She decided she'd rather die than allow that.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine
[22:56] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Noted. 6He nods once, standing there awkwardly.
[22:56] <13SPoC> 6Dias picks her up. 1"Which way to medical?"
15[22:57] * 13@Jennifer looks back at Kane. "Well... welcome to your new home Kane."
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey, let me down! I said I'd go
[22:57] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...I wouldn't call it home, though the sentiments are appreciated.
[22:57] <13SPoC> <Dias> Of course you did, because you'ld lie to get out of this.
[22:57] <13@Cassandra`> ...I see...
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
09[22:57] <13@Jennifer> "Heh... I guess. It grew to be mine over time..."
[22:58] <13SPoC> <SPoC> I am called SPoC. 6She bows to Kane
[22:58] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head. 1That's an odd name. I am Christopher Kane, in either event.
15[22:58] * 13@Jennifer grins a bit. "SPoC's been my legal guardian since Dad died. She takes good care of me."
[22:58] <13SPoC> <SPoC> It is short for Special Operative C.
[22:59] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. Intresting. 6He says to the both of them.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.5.19 - The team had been gone 18 days. One day after returning, things haven't quite returned to normal
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> Location: Tower of Doom
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in her office, writing with her right hand, the other hand still gone as she refused a replacement. Billy's lifesigns have remained near zero, and the girl shows no signs of ever awakening, and is currently in med bay
[23:01] <13SPoC> 6SPoC sits in the lounge area, painting a picture of the creature they faced.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* John, after hearing the news of the Tsivrixsh goo, confirmed it was indeed the corruption that is going around the multiverser
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps out of the tower, having decided it was time to go
15[23:01] * 13@Jennifer is in one of the rooms on the sixth floor she and John set aside for training, trying out her new hand on a training bag.
[23:02] <13Megumi> 6Freyja apparently returned to the shrine after inviting Cassandra to kill her if she felt the need, gone ever since.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sits on the roof of the tower, crosslegged
15[23:02] * 13@Cassandra` sitting in her quarters, drinking from a bottle of scotch.
[23:02] <13SPoC> 6Dias steps out of his room, his hair damp from a shower.
[23:02] <13Megumi> 6Chii sits, in childform, with her chin resting on Cheryl's table, squinting across at her.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii. "What?"
[23:02] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus stands in the mess hall, leaning on the counter with his head propped up on one of his hands.
[23:02] <13Megumi> <Chii> Sorry.
[23:02] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves over to X's door and knocks on it.
[23:02] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel sits down near John, as she's been spending a lot of time out in the open air, and it didn't make sense to hide on her own with someone else up here.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> For?
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens the door
[23:03] <13Megumi> <Chii> Not saving you properly.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> There was nothing to save.
[23:03] <13Megumi> <Chii> Hrmph.
[23:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps out onto the roof, peering at John and Raquel.
15[23:03] * 13@Jennifer kicks and punches at the bag, working off a bit of frustration, whatever remnants of homesickness she had for her old reality ebbing away with every blow.
[23:03] <13SPoC> <Dias> I decided to teach you how to take down a opponent with just your fists.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd be more concerned in finding a way to reverse what your twin did to Billy.
[23:03] <13Megumi> <Chii> There's nothing to reverse..
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She puts seals on her, right? Maybe if we get rid of them...
[23:04] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over towards them, peering at John. 1Hmmm. Is this a place to relax in quiet?
[23:04] <13Megumi> <Chii> She'd be as blank as she is now.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Better to try something then nothing
[23:04] <13Megumi> 6Chii frowns. 1"I can't be sure, because I can't sense anything under the seal."
[23:04] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane gives a nod and sits down, peering out at the landscape.
[23:05] <13Megumi> <Chii> But I'm sure Billy... being the tenacious thing she was. She probably used herself up just to avoid being bored.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I still say we should find a way to break them, for Cassandra's sake. She lost two people she cares about
[23:05] <13SPoC> <Dias> ....Or we could just go out and drink instead. 6He eyes her silence
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... ... I don't need your help in that
[23:05] <13Megumi> <Chii> Then call her. Call Freyja here.
[23:05] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel slowly looks to John, "...so.... why are you out here John?" 6She hesitates, and looks to Kane, "...and... who are you?"
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd rather not. 6* She eyes her, as if telling Chii to do it
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <John> It's quiet.
[23:06] <13Megumi> 6Chii puffs her cheeks. 1"I'm not calling her! Make Erevis do it!"
15[23:06] * 13@Cassandra` rubs the bridge of her nose and then pours herself another drink.
15[23:06] * 13@Jennifer closes her eyes and changes her stance up, then starts kicking out rapidly at the training bag, she stops as there's a popping sound and some sand leaks out. She sighs and lowers her leg, straightening out and walking over to grab a towel. "...it's over... done with... gotta move on."
[23:06] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I am Christopher Kane. 6He says simply.
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She peers to the side at the mention of Erevis, considering what happened in their 4 parter (see the rest of this week's eps!)
[23:06] <13SPoC> <Dias> Oh...6He slumps slightly. 1"That's fine than."
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pass.
[23:06] <13Megumi> <Chii> ... ...FINE!
[23:06] <13Megumi> 6Chii grabs Cheryl's comm and runs out.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <X> But you can buy Lilith and me drinks.
[23:07] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly, then finally speaks up, "...I'm Raquel... though, most people call me Spirit... or 'nine'."
[23:07] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks up at X again. 1"Yeah? I can do that."
15[23:07] * 13@Jennifer heads down to the mess hall for some water, tying her hair back into a tail as she walks.
04[23:08] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane bows his head. 1Pleasure to meet you. I am from the same reality that Jennifer is from. 6He says to clarify, then peers to John, probably seeing if he's any different than the John he knew.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <X> Lilith. We are going to get vodka. 6* She opens a ripple and drags Raquel through it, apparantly dragging her along
[23:08] <13@Cassandra`> ...so much for going back to the house together...its going to be pretty empty when the renovations get finished... *drinks*
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers at Raquel getting dragged off by hands that appear
[23:09] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks at that, eyes darting left and right quickly. 1We are under attack.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> <John> Doubt it.
[23:09] <13SPoC> 6Dias wiggles his finger in his ear now
[23:09] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel was about to answer, when she's dragged off without even a quiet eep
[23:09] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses to peer at John. 1Ah...
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits back, running her hand through her face
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* X moves to go to the shuttle with Raquel now
15[23:10] * 13@Cassandra` downs the rest of her glass and then flops on to the bed.
[23:10] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves along with X and Raquel
[23:10] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...w-what's going on this time?"
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> <X> We're going drinking.
[23:11] <13Megumi> 6Lilith moves after the three, dressed in a blue jean miniskirt and a a plaid sweater.
[23:11] <13SPoC> <Dias> I already got you a fake ID. 6He pulls one out of his pocket and hands it to her
[23:11] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. I just needed to see that you were indeed just like the John that I know. 6He bows his head and stands up, moving to leave.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> <John> And am I?
[23:12] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods uncertainly.
15[23:12] * 13@Jennifer slips into the mess hall, moving over to Marcus.
[23:12] <13SPoC> <Dias> I won't even charge you the standard going rate, either. 6He winks at her
[23:13] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Physically, yes. But I imagine mentally you are not.
[23:13] <13SPoC> <Dias> So X, tell me how much you missed me while I was gone for 18 days.
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <X> None.
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <John> Probably right
[23:13] <13SPoC> <Dias> Some?
[23:13] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus peers up towards her but doesn't say anything, moody apparently over what happened to Billy.
09[23:13] <13@Jennifer> "Hey... can I get a water...?"
[23:14] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...I am sorry that our mission is to kill the Dias that is your friend.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <John> It has to be done, I guess, if he can't listen to reason
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> No
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* X drags Raquel into the shuttle
[23:15] <13Megumi> 6Lilith pauses. 1"...Raquel is coming?"
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes.
[23:15] <13Megumi> <Lilith> M-Mistress, she is not old enough.
[23:15] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Of course. But it is still something that shouldn't have to be done. Seeing friends die. 6He notes, then steps back inside the building.
[23:15] <13SPoC> <Dias> No it wasn't some? So it was alot? Awesome. 6He walks up the ramp and takes the pilots seat, powering it up
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> She is a Weapon.
[23:15] <13SPoC> <Dias> She is when she waves her new fake id.
[23:15] <13Megumi> 6Lilith eyes X, then narrows her eyes, still angry at Dias, then back to X.
15[23:16] * 13@Jennifer looks at Marcus, "You okay...?"
[23:16] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus peers at her, then points towards the fridge behind him.
[23:16] <13Megumi> <Lilith> ...I suppose if she is employed militarily, then she observes the same status as a warrior-- therefore she may drink as one of the priviliedged.
[23:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> You have not had a problem when I have drank.
15[23:16] * 13@Jennifer works her way around to the fridge while she keeps looking at him.
[23:16] <13Megumi> 6Lilith nods, justifying both.
[23:16] <13SPoC> <Dias> Way to change your stance Lilith, that's how it's done right.
[23:16] <13Megumi> 6Lilith glances away, now not having to explain the fact she didn't even think about X, since she looks old enough.
[23:16] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I know that Billy and I didn't talk much anymore. Didn't mean I cared any less about her.
[23:17] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X, "...just... don't let me over do it this time? The hangovers have been rough..."
15[23:17] * 13@Jennifer stops at the fridge, frowning a little. "...I hope they'll fix her up somehow..."
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> <X> The more you drink, the less it will happen. A sign of adaptation
15[23:17] * 13SPoC snorts
[23:17] <13Megumi> 6Freyja leans in Cheryl's office. 1"...Are you sure?'
[23:17] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I doubt it'll change things at this point.
[23:17] <13SPoC> 6Dias snorts
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Freyja. "Yes. It wasn't your call to do that to her."
09[23:17] <13@Jennifer> "She might have played tricks on me... even used me... but I still think of her as a friend... of course it will."
[23:17] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks at X uncertainly
[23:17] <13SPoC> <Dias> The more you drink the harder they hit you when they do hit you
15[23:18] * 13@Jennifer looks at him. "Don't give up hope Marcus."
[23:18] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah. I'll keep that in mind.
[23:18] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Then I should have killed her outright?
[23:18] <13SPoC> 6Dias closes the ramp lifts the shuttle. He hits his comm. 1"Cheryl, me, X, Lil and Raquel are going to town for a bit."
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That wasn't your call either. 6* She slams her good hand down. "YOU went after her after she left. And if you ever THINK about doing something like that to Chii, I won't be nice like Cassandra." 6* She grabs her comm. "THEN GO.
[23:19] <13Megumi> 6Freyja eyes the source of the sound. 1"Shouldn't Dias be present?"
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And what would Dias do?
[23:19] <13SPoC> 6Dias winces as he shuts the comm off. 1"Wow, that was bad timing"
[23:19] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I was going to suggest bringing him, Marcus, and Cassandra, as the remaining members of her origin."
09[23:19] <13@Jennifer> "Always got to keep our heads high." *she manages a smile* "We'll figure out something and bring her back."
[23:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Frankly, since she was closest with you, I'd keep people she knows away from her right now.
[23:20] <13Megumi> <Freyja> With ...me?
[23:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I haven't seen her near Dias and Marcus in almost year. She only talked to you and Cassandra.
[23:21] <13Megumi> 6Freyja leans back, almost shaded over in a light worse than the look she had initially.
[23:21] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright, Jen. I'll keep that in mind.
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to walk past Freyja
[23:21] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Just ...what is it you think I did to her?
[23:21] <13SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head and flies off, heading for Tokyo
15[23:22] * 13@Jennifer grabs a water from the fridge and nods to him, then heads out of the mess hall, she rubs the back of her head when she's in the hallway and sighs a bit, walking along.
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know. All I know is one moment she is fine and now she looks dead. Whatever happened between the two of you, I'm putting the blame on your shoulders.
[23:22] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel sits quietly on the shuttle, eyeing the ID, and wondering if its really passable
[23:22] <13SPoC> 6Oh it's totally passable. Probably his finest work yet.
[23:22] <13Megumi> 6Freyja eyes her, then moves to follow. 1"Oh. ...I see. I suppose that's fine. Since I wanted her to kill me anyway."
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yet you're the one still standing
[23:23] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Apparently even a Dark One wouldn't sully her hands with me.
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe she liked you too much to kill you, you stupid bitch
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the elevator
[23:24] <13Megumi> 6Freyja steps into the elevator, turning to face the front. She eyes the doors, waiting for them to close. 1"You still have one good hand."
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Don't remind me. I might use it on you
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* She hits the medical floor
[23:25] <13Megumi> <Freyja> That was the idea.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You'd like that, wouldn't you?
[23:25] <13Megumi> 6Freyja closes her eyes. 1"I am a stupid bitch."
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do me a favor and keep your mouth closed
[23:26] <13Megumi> 6Freyja sighs, just eyeing the lights flicker from floor to floor.
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps off when the elevator doors open, moving for the medical bay. She doesn't call Cassandra up as she enters
[23:27] <13SPoC> 6Dias flies the shuttle into Tokyo. 1"Bar or liqour store and back?
15[23:27] * 13@Jennifer heads up to the roof, she stops at the door checking out the replacement before stepping out onto the roof.
[23:27] <13Megumi> <Lilith> Liquor store.
[23:27] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks back to X to see what she wants to do
[23:27] <13Megumi> 6Freyja pauses, wincing as she sees Billy-- halting at the door.
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> <X> That is fine with me
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do whatever it is you need to do. 6* She looks away, probably not believing it will matter deep down
15[23:28] * 13@Jennifer takes a seat by John, looking out at the horizon.
03[23:28] * Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
[23:28] <13SPoC> <Dias> Majority has it. 6He adjusts course to the liqour store and lands out front. He moves down the ramp and inside
[23:29] <13Megumi> <Lilith> The bartender always cuts us off. I believe we will have more fun if we stock ourselves.
[23:29] <13Megumi> 6Freyja moves inside and kneels by the bed, assuming a stance to seemingly pray.
[23:29] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...less creepy people that way."
[23:29] <13SPoC> <Dias> Really? Never had that happen to me before. 6He steps off and moves inside
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* X pauses, then waits
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down, watching, arms crossed
09[23:30] <13@Jennifer> "How're you?"
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> <John> Good. You?
09[23:30] <13@Jennifer> "A bit better then before... actually."
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> <John> That's good.
[23:31] <13Megumi> 6Freyja continues to do so, eventually forming floating flames, six in all, each a different hue around Billy, until a seventh, brilliant white appears in the center. She rises, then holds out her hand, gesturing to each one in turn, each snuffing out.
[23:31] <13SPoC> 6Dias steps out after a bit a case over his shoulder and he moves back onto the shuttle, setting it down. 1"Where'd you gals wanna drink?"
09[23:31] <13@Jennifer> "I always... I felt this little pull from home, like maybe one day I'd wake up in my bed, and all this was some long, crazy nightmate... but now..."
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> <X> Vodka.
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks to see if there is some
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> <John> Now it's gone.
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is that it?
[23:32] <13SPoC> 6There's several bottles, he's even made to sure to get his favorite kind*
09[23:32] <13@Jennifer> "Yeah. It's like the book's closed, story is over. Now I gotta move on and there really is no going back."
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <John> I understand
[23:32] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Yes. The ...seal is lifted.
[23:32] <13SPoC> NRP: Her
[23:32] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitates, "I... don't know alcohol very well."
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Billy, then her vitals. She shakes her head as nothing changes, going to stand and leave.
[23:32] <13Megumi> 6Freyja just continues staring at Billy, her lip trembling.
15[23:33] * 13@Jennifer nods slowly, she looks outward again and sighs, leaning back a little.
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> <X> Where hsould we drink?
[23:33] <13SPoC> <Dias> I got a bunch for you to try. Whatever you dont like I'll finish. 6He takes the pilots seat and lifts the shuttle up again.
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* She asks the otehr twos
[23:33] <13SPoC> <Dias> I even amade sure to get you're favorite kind of saki, Lil
[23:33] <13Megumi> <Lilith> Someplace quiet and secluded.
[23:33] <13Megumi> 6Lilith bows her head to Dias.
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, that's that. Looks like I was wrong.
09[23:34] <13@Jennifer> "Dunno if you've seen Kane left... he's that little bit of home that'll stick around it seems..."
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah.
[23:35] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...quiet does sound nice..."
[23:35] <13Megumi> <Lilith> ...N-no... you ... y-you really... weren't." 6She sobs, leaning against Billy and her bed.
[23:35] <13Megumi> NRP: Freyja. Lil's happy.
09[23:35] <13@Jennifer> "If he's odd... well, excuse him... he just watched you, Zephyr, and Angela die in his reality..." *her tones down now, closing her eyes*
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She glances back.
[23:36] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Uhh...6He spins the shuttle around as he looks for something
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She really wasn't what?
[23:36] <13Megumi> <Lilith> Is something wrong, Dias?
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> <John> I unserstand
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait, who did you mean wasn't wrong?
[23:37] <13Megumi> 6Freyja buries her face, murmuring. 1"Both of you.."
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't get what you mean
15[23:37] * 13@Jennifer looks over at him. "John... did this stuff... get in your reality?"
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah.
15[23:38] * 13@Jennifer nods, she already seemed to know what he was going to say. "...I'm sorry."
[23:38] <13SPoC> <Dias> I'm trying to pick a...Got it. 6He takes off for the piers
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* John shrugs. "Can only try to save what I can now."
[23:38] <13Megumi> 6Freyja shifts enough to gaze at Cheryl, the one yellow eye glowering, but in a face tinted with red despite pale skin-- looking the part of a ghost in herself. 1"... H-Her life is... o-on me."
[23:38] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...And yet sh-she told me... that if I st-stayed, only d-death and misery would r-remain. I... stayed anyway."
09[23:39] <13@Jennifer> "Guess we're offically in the same boat now."
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... She didn't let you die when she tried to take that other Setsuna's soul. I think that would mean she wanted you to live
15[23:39] * 13@Jennifer looks back at the horizon again.
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> <John> Guess so
09[23:39] <13@Jennifer> "Thanks... for teaching me so far."
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> <John> Thanks for learning
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers out the window at the piers
[23:40] <13Megumi> 6Freyja quivers more and sobs. 1"Why..? I d-didn't wan... want this.."
[23:40] <13SPoC> <Dias> I come here when I need to think. 6He brings the shuttle down near one of piers and shuts the shuttle off
[23:40] <13Megumi> 6Lilith eyes the piers. 1"...I have heard shady business is done here."
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Guess you should have faith there was more to her than she let on. I don't know. Chii was born from darkness, but she has a lot of love in her, more than I do, I think.
[23:41] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "It... does look... kinda creepy."
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We all express love in different ways.
15[23:41] * 13@Jennifer smiles a little. "...Oh right... I have to show you my new move later."
[23:41] <13SPoC> <Dias> And other things too. 6He moves down the shuttle and grabs the crate, slinging it over his shoulder. He makes his way to a dock
[23:42] <13Megumi> <Freyja> L-Love was... s-something that betrayed me.
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Think you're the only one who got hurt?
[23:43] <13Megumi> 6Freyja hides her face again. 1"No. But if you're... wondering about Chii."
[23:43] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel frowns a little
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* X follows after Dias
[23:43] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel heads outside, looking around warily.
15[23:43] * 13@Jennifer goes quiet, just thinking to herself now.
[23:44] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves to the end of one of the docks and sets the crate down. He plops on the edge and grabs a bottle of whiskey.
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her good hand, glancing at Freyja. She walks over and pats her head
[23:45] <13Megumi> 6Freyja pauses, then sits up slightly.
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at the dirty docks, not wanting to sit
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You should stay here.
[23:45] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes X. 1"Something wrong?"
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> <X> The dock is dirty.
[23:45] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Wh-what..?" 6She almost chokes.
[23:45] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks down than pulls his hoody off and sets it down for her to sit on
[23:45] <13Megumi> 6Lilith moves over, then tosses out a table cloth.
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's easier to be alone when you're hurting. Doesn't mean it's best. Your like Chii's mother and sister all in one. You should stay.
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* X takes the cloth
[23:46] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel blinks, wondering where Lilith got that from, or if she carried one with her
[23:46] <13Megumi> <Lilith> I took this while Marcus Jones fornicated with Katrina McCormick.
[23:46] <13SPoC> 6Dias frowns slightly and takes his hoody back. He takes a pull back from his bottle
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> <X> They had sex? She does not value her virtue.
[23:46] <13Megumi> 6Lilith spreads it out. 1"I assumed we may have venture for a picnic, but alcohol is just as good."
[23:47] <13SPoC> <Dias> The two have sex to show much they love each other, X. It's not about protecting virtue or something silly like that.
[23:47] <13Megumi> <Lilith> They are due to marry. They are righteous.
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> <X> .... 6* She eyes Dias slowly, then Lilith. "Oh. So if Drake proposed to you, you would have fornicated?
[23:48] <13Megumi> 6Lilith jerks, her eyes widening. 1"I-- ..." 6She gazes away, hiding her face a bit by turning. 1"P-Perhaps."
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> <X> I see.
[23:49] <13SPoC> <Dias> You don't have to propse to have sex, it's just another way of showing you love someone. Unless you're like some people who do it for fun.
[23:49] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...Would people blame me further if I tried.
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tried what?
[23:49] <13Megumi> <Freyja> Anything I can.
03[23:49] * Cassandra` (Psy@h226.131.141.67.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If that involved you killing yourself or something equally stupid, you'd just make Billy hate you. Because sparing you and Dias would have been pointless
[23:50] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...she would have. If you saw the way she'd hang off him..." *doesn't sound judgemental*
[23:50] <13Megumi> 6Freyja hangs her head. 1"... There is still something else."
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
[23:50] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ..I can feel it. You and Chii.
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What. Us sharing a soul?
[23:50] <13Megumi> 6Freyja nods slowly. 1"...It's not like the inugami. Something I've never seen before... but perhaps.."
[23:51] <13SPoC> 6Dias finishes the bottle fast and hurls it out towards the ocean.
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't really think it would work. Chii and I are bonded and we still don't know how it happened
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> <X> She hung off of him?
[23:52] <13Megumi> 6Lilith frowns, refusing to face them, actually starting to blush.
[23:52] <13Megumi> <Freyja> If I let that stop me, I wouldn't try anything... I have to try.
[23:52] <13SPoC> <Dias> Lil wanted to boink him.
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you want to give her a soul, have Chii some dying guy's soul and stick it in her
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> *eat
[23:53] <13Megumi> <Freyja> I-- I can't do that..!
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why not?
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> She did? 6* She looks shocked, then looks at Lilith. "Do you bonk him in your sleep?"
[23:53] <13Megumi> <Freyja> That's not right... using someone else's... If I'm going to make a risk. I should be the one to do so.
[23:53] <13SPoC> <Dias> Those are called wet dreams, X.
[23:54] <13Megumi> <Lilith> Wh-what!?" 6She gazes back, apalled. 1"I do no such thing!"
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <X> Oh. Why not/
[23:54] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel just listens at this point. She doesn't seem to need to add more.
[23:54] <13SPoC> <Dias> I bet it's just Lil thinks sex is gross.
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <X> Is it?
[23:54] <13Megumi> <Lilith> ..." 6She trembles a bit, then eyes Dias looking slightly angry.
[23:55] <13SPoC> <Dias> No way. It's the best thing out there. 6He grabs two bottles, holding one out to X and taking a drink from the other
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* X takes it, then looks at Lilith for her answer
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
[23:56] <13Megumi> <Lilith> ...I... I do not know!!
[23:57] <13SPoC> <Dias> It's not gross. 6He points at X
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <X> But you wouldn't try it. 6* She says to Lil
[23:58] <13Megumi> <Lilith> ...I died young.
[23:58] <13SPoC> <Dias> Doesn't mean you can't have sex now
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> So since you are dead, you can't boink now.
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* X muses on that
[23:58] <13SPoC> 6Dias rummages around and tosses Raquel a bottle of something fruity
[23:58] <13Megumi> <Lilith> I was forcefully put in line to marry the nobleman I served, but we were sieged beforehand, thankfully.
[23:59] <13Megumi> 6Lilith crosses her arms and faces away again, hrmphing.
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> <X> Since Drake is dead, he is unboinkable, too
[23:59] <13SPoC> <Dias> Huh, I never thought of it like that, X.
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pats Freyja a few times, as if to awkwardly console her
[23:59] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...Given the properties, I'm willing to try it.
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> <X> You died once as well, Dias. You cannot be boinked now.
13[00:00] * Day changed to Wednesday, December 3rd 2008.
[00:00] <13SPoC> <Dias> When did I die?!
Session Time: Wed Dec 03 00:00:00 2008
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> <X> Only a dead man could save others' souls, could he not?
[00:00] <13SPoC> 6Dias snorts. 1"Only a man as strong as me can pierce the veils of death itself and save others souls."
[00:00] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...with them both being dead... could they boink each other now?" *can't believe she's using these words*
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think you should think this through.
[00:01] <13@DeathStar> <X> .. 6* She eyes Lilith now.
[00:01] <13Megumi> 6Lilith is still being huffy.
[00:01] <13SPoC> <Dias> Man, I don't want to be unboinkable. 6He pouts.
[00:01] <13@DeathStar> <X> IF you wished to boink Drake since you are both dead, I will allow it
[00:02] <13Megumi> 6Lilith nearly falls over.
[00:02] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that too."
[00:02] <13Megumi> 6Freyja smiles weakly at Cheryl. 1"...I... I won't over do it." 6She says. 1"I ...I will just bring her into my own heart-- to see if she reacts to it."
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Drake is actually hiding
[00:03] <13SPoC> 6Dias mutters. 1"He's a guy, of course he'll like being boinked..."
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want to make you sadder, but you did seal her. Are you even sure she'd want that?
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> <X> IX eats souls, so she could probably boink you, II.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X drinks her vodka on that note.
[00:03] <13SPoC> 6Dias slowly looks over at Raquel
[00:03] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel gapes at X as if she said something unthinkable.
[00:04] <13SPoC> <Dias> Maybe in a few years.
[00:04] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ...If it's enough to bring her back... It's enough. ...I don't mind if she can just go back to Cassandra. I'll leave.."
[00:04] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel crosses her arms, narrowing her eyes at Dias.
[00:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Tch. Do whatever you need to do. But you're still staying. 6* She turns to go now
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> <X> So you do not want IX?
[00:05] <13Megumi> <Freyja> ... ...Thank ...you, Cheryl.
[00:05] <13SPoC> <Dias> Nah, it'd be kinda creepy. Plus she's more Marcus' age group
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. 6* She waves her good hand and moves off to drink herself into a stupor
[00:05] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *nods* "...very creepy."
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> <X> But he is not as old as Katrina
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> *she
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters her own quarters after a bit and lays down, grabbing her booze and guzzling it
[00:06] <13Megumi> 6A voice under Cheryl's bed murmurs. 1"...D-Did she do it?"
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Billy's still gone. She plans to share a soul or something with her
[00:07] <13Megumi> 6Lilith turns, eyeing them now.
[00:07] <13SPoC> <Dias> Long joke.
[00:07] <13SPoC> <Dias> Ask Marcus about it the next time you see him
[00:07] <13Megumi> <Chii> Wh-What!?
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Martyr complex
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes one bottle in 30 seconds, working on a second
[00:07] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "Marcus is into... 'younger' girls?" *worried*
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Lilith now
[00:07] <13Megumi> <Lilith> Wow. She did not know?
[00:08] <13SPoC> 6Dias finishes the second bottle and hurls it out into the ocean. He reaches behind him and grabs another one
[00:08] <13Megumi> 6Lilith coughs slightly. 1"This is why I was worried during the escapade in which I was a... child temporarily.
[00:08] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She seems to debate eliminating Marcus
[00:09] <13Megumi> 6Freyja tenderly picks up Billy, disconnecting the monitoring equipment after shutting it off-- peers around, then disappears to the shrine.
[00:10] <13SPoC> 6Dias falls backwards, letting his feet dangle.
[00:10] <13Megumi> <Lilith> H-Hrmph. Why are you younglings so interested in sex?
[00:11] <13@DeathStar> <X> I must attain all knowledge to kill Dias
[00:11] <13Megumi> 6Lilith looks over and snatches one of the sake bottles from the crate, uncorking it and starting to guzzle it.
[00:11] <13SPoC> <Dias> It's true. 6He notes.
[00:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes how Lilith drinks, then guzzles her vodka, then howls as it burns
[00:11] <13Megumi> 6Lilith wipes her mouth. 1"If that is true, then 'all knowledge' would include lesbian relationships."
[00:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* X jerks at that
[00:11] <13Megumi> <Lilith> Which are Dias' "Kryptonite."
[00:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do you think I'm ugly now? 6* She asks, tossing a second bottle down, then getting a third
[00:12] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...it's funny how easy you bl-" *chokes*
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes that, then Dias. She jerks forward to kiss Raquel
[00:12] <13Megumi> 6Lilith jerks, gaping.
[00:12] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel stares at X
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X kisses her, but her eyes are locked onto Dias to see if he is dying
[00:12] <13Megumi> 6Chii crawls out, shaking her head. 1"You're still Cherry-- just one less hand to drown yourself with.
[00:12] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks over at the two. 1"Who said it was my kryptonite?"
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> One less hand to touch you
[00:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her third
[00:13] <13Megumi> 6Chii nods and her lip trembles.
[00:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* X frowns and leans back
[00:13] <13SPoC> <Dias> But if you want to continue, don't let me stop you
[00:13] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She looks more depressed and just drinks the entire third bottle, then gets a fourth
[00:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple under Dias to dump him in the water
[00:13] <13Megumi> <Lilith> Merely kissing is not a 'Lesbian relationship.'
[00:13] <13Megumi> <Lilith> But I heard this amongst the base.
[00:13] <13@DeathStar> <X> What else should does it require?
[00:14] <13Megumi> 6Lilith eyes the splash. 1"It is a most intriguing superhero weakness."
[00:14] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *just stares for a moment, trying to come to grips with what just happened* "...I thought you said... you would never..." *still staring*
[00:14] <13@DeathStar> <X> Do not worry. Clearly you are not kryptonite
[00:14] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Wow Lil. You really know how to kill a buzz. 6He sighs as he sits up now
[00:15] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "I... I'm glad. I think..."
[00:15] <13SPoC> 6Dias surfaces and looks around. 1"...Thanks X."
[00:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* X drinks her vodka. "I will find your weakness."
[00:16] <13SPoC> <Dias> Who says I have one? 6He holds one hand out for his bottle
[00:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> You have one.
[00:16] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes his other hand. 1"Oh yeah." 6He opens it and takes a deep pull as he treads water.
[00:17] <13@DeathStar> <X> Perhaps seeing two women naked would do it
[00:18] <13Megumi> 6Lilith eyes Dias. 1"So it does not bother you that mistress will one day have lesbian relations as a result of your own challenge to her?"
[00:18] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "If he's in the water at the time, he might drown..."
[00:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves onto her fifth now, looking adn feeling drunk
[00:18] <13@DeathStar> <X> .... 6* She eyes Dias, then Raquel at his line. She moves over to try to undress her
[00:18] <13Megumi> <Chii> You're still my beautiful Cherry... I don't care-- as long as you're still yourself.
[00:18] <13SPoC> <Dias> And here I thought lesbian sex would be considered...vulgar to you Lilith.
[00:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure you care. I understand if you'd rather just be with Lemon
[00:19] <13Megumi> 6Chii frowns at that. 1"You're my lover. Why would I just be with her? Geez."
[00:19] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel pulls away, "Lilith is... more mature."
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She has two hands
[00:20] <13Megumi> <Lilith> I have not considered having 'lesbian sex,' you fowl thing!
[00:20] <13SPoC> <Dias> But yet here you are, pushing it on X. Who's the fowl thing now?
[00:20] <13Megumi> <Chii> What part of 'my lover' are you not hearing?" 6She steams.
[00:20] <13Megumi> 6Lilith jerks. 1"You are the one that said she must experience all things!"
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You'd rather be under the bed. 6* She drinks a sixth drink
[00:21] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel gestures X towards Lilith
[00:21] <13Megumi> <Chii> Tch. I was just hiding because I yelled at you. Jeez." 6She hops up onto the bed and flops onto her back.
[00:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii. "You're not touching me."
[00:22] <13SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head at Lilith, if she hasn't gotten it by now, there's no point in him explaining it. He downst he rest of his bottle, dropping a bit more into the water. 1"More please."
[00:22] <13Megumi> <Chii> ...Oh it's on, mistress." 6She stares at Cheryl, deadpanned, then sits up and tackles her, alcohol or not.
[00:22] <13Megumi> 6Lilith hurtles a bottle aimed for Dias' head.
[00:22] <13SPoC> 6Dias catches it and pops the top off, taking another pull. 1"Blech."
[00:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks at that as she is tackled, falling back. She holds the alcohol tightly with her only hand
[00:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* X seems to be debating riping IX's clothes off, apparantly focused on her
[00:25] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks nervous, as X's attention doesn't shift, "...w-what? I'm..." 6She hesitates, "...I'm underaged. H-he said so himself..."
[00:25] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... Hm. I guess if you do not have proper breasts you would not do
[00:25] <13SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head again at X and he starts chugging the bottle
[00:26] <13Megumi> <Chii> H-Hey, no fair!
[00:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's not fair?!
[00:26] <13Megumi> <Chii> ...The handcuffs won't stay on.
[00:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses at that, then looks even more depressed
[00:26] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel pouts, but she can hardly argue it. It'd be hurting her case to even try.
[00:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* X goes back to drinking
[00:27] <13Megumi> 6Chii pauses as well, eyeing Cheryl, then jerks and just starts molesting her the old fashioned way. Slow and tender.
[00:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. Not in the mood now. 6* She notes with a stump dismissal wave
[00:27] <13Megumi> 6Lilith hrmphs and grabs another bottle of sake.
[00:27] <13Megumi> <Chii> Too bad.
[00:28] <13SPoC> 6Dias goes under.
[00:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes, then eyes her comm, then her alcohol bottle, trying to decide if she should drop it for the comm
[00:28] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel flops against X, wondering how to appologise for this one. She holds a bottle in her hand, but doesn't drink from it for the moment.
[00:28] <13Megumi> 6Chii eyes her sight and snatches the comm, dumping it into her shirt between her breasts, smirking at Cheryl.
[00:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, then leans forward with her teeth, biting for it
[00:29] <13Megumi> 6Chii blinks, then eeps aloud, clawing at Cheryl's back and squirming.
[00:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> OW! Jesus!
[00:30] <13Megumi> 6Chii pauses abrubtly, then hugs Cheryl's head into herself.
[00:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waggles her face. "AAAH"
[00:31] <13SPoC> 6An empty bottle pops up from where Dias went under
[00:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers over now. "Is II dead?"
[00:31] <13Megumi> 6Chii laughs out loud, wiggling about in ticklist response, then lets go, sitting back slightly as she straddles Cheryl's lap, smiling impish.
[00:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to guzzle her bottle
[00:31] <13Megumi> <Lilith> Eh." 6She merely says, narrowing her eyes at Raquel snuggling X.
[00:32] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "I... don't think so. Unless his weakness was alcohol mixed with salt water..."
[00:32] <13Megumi> 6Chii nods to herself, bending over backwards to reach under the bed like the good flexible thing she is, leaving her legs wide open in front of Cheryl.
[00:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl considers, then eyes her bottle. Oh yes. There will be vengeance
[00:33] <13Megumi> <Chii> Ah-hah. Found it!
[00:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Lilith now
[00:34] <13@DeathStar> <X> Problem?
[00:34] <13Megumi> 6Lilith pauses, then resumes her neutral face. 1"Hm?"
[00:34] <13@DeathStar> <X> You seemed ready to attack. Is there an enemy nearby?
[00:34] <13Megumi> <Lilith> ...No." 6She begins guzzling the new bottle.
[00:35] <13SPoC> 6Dias plops down back in spot again, water dripping off him.
[00:35] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hm. 6* She nods once, then eyes the water again, then Dias.
[00:35] <13@DeathStar> <X> He lives.
[00:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pokes with the bottle and twists with her legs to hurl Chii off if at all possible
[00:36] <13SPoC> <Dias> I thought I saw something shiney down there. I was wrong.
[00:36] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and closes her eyes a moment, "...I guess we can take alochol and sea water off the possible weakness list."
[00:36] <13SPoC> <Dias> Alcohol makes me stronger.
[00:36] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... next time.
[00:37] <13@DeathStar> -END-
