[19:59] <01@DeathStar> Reality Day 31st - Late, Late Night or Early, Early Morning -
[19:59] <01@DeathStar> Location: Hotel
[20:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores on the bed, head over her face; Lemon snuggled against Chii as if she were a plushie. Outside their room, two men in casual outfits stand about, looking around
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The window to the room is slowly opened from the outside and two figures in black sneak into Cheryl's room
06[20:01] * 01@Jennifer snoozes on her bed, looking deposited there, mumbling into her pillow as she rests.
[20:01] <01Dias`> 6Dias sleeps with his arm over X.
06[20:01] * 01@Kane sits in the floor, parts and tools scattered around him, but he's leaned back against the bed, eyes closed and breathing steady.
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* The figures move over to the bed, ignoring Chii, and the two seem to study Cheryl and Lemon, as if trying to decide on something.
01[20:02] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sits up, writing at the table in his room, glasses on, working on something in the dim light, a cooler resting on the table beside him.
[20:02] <01@Kane> 6* Cole steps off of the elevator, eyes bloodshot and hair in a tangled mess as he stumbles towards his room.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* The two men in the hallway eye Cole, then pretend to admire the wall
[20:04] <01@Kane> 6* Cole peers at them slowly and squints. 1Why are you in my house?
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> <Man 1> We're not in your house, sir
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The figures shift to place a device onto Cheryl, then one onto Lemon, being careful not to touch Chii
[20:05] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sleeps deeply, though not peacefully, curled up tightly on her bed.
[20:05] <01@Kane> 6* Cole pauses and blinks. 1O-Oh sorry, didn't mean to walk into the wrong house.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> <Man 1> It's okay, sir.
[20:05] <01@Kane> 6* Cole peers around then moves into the stairwell.
06[20:06] * 01Dias` shifts slightly and nuzzles his head into X's upper back
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* They watch him go, then check their devices to check the progress of the other two
06[20:07] * 01@Kane jerks upward quickly, eyes glancing around the room, he lets out a breath and wipes some sweat from his brow, then mumbles and slowly gets back to work.
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* The two men in the bedroom step back, then go to tap something on their wrist to activate the device. Cheryl reaches out her hand to grab their wrist, twisting and breaking it.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes, then rips the device off Lemon, hitting her comm to send an emergency beep to the others
[20:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks awake, his eyes peering around.
06[20:08] * 01@Kane arches a brow and grabs his pistol, standing up to open his door quickly, stepping out into the hallway.
[20:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias nudges X and he gets out of bed quickly, moving for the door and opening it. He steps out looking around
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man howls in pain; his friend quickly tries to begin to warp Cheryl. Lemon sits up, confused now
06[20:09] * 01@Jennifer blinks and hops out of bed, grabbing her gun from under her pillow, she looks around and steps into the hall. Cameron eyes his device and stands, putting the notebook away and stepping out into the hall.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* X just snuggles her pillow
[20:09] <01@Kane> 6* Cole has since fell down the stairs, passed out.
[20:09] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel wakes up abruptly, trying to check what the alarm is before her eyes will focus properly
06[20:09] * 01@Kane peers towards the two in the hallway and raises his pistol, firing stun shots out for them.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* The men are hit and fall over
[20:10] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Kane then shifts, to move for the two men when they drop. 1"What's going on?"
06[20:10] * 01@Jennifer whips her gun up and aims, stopping when the go down, she moves to Cheryl's room.
06[20:10] * 01@Kane moves forward and moves to kick open Cheryl's door.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws the one fellow into the wall. The other eyes Kane, cursing
06[20:10] * 01@Kane aims towards him and fires a stun shot as well./
[20:10] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel grabs her blade, and ripples into Cheryl's room
[20:10] <01Dias`> 6Dias breaks into a dash for Cheryls room and over to the opposite wall and pushes off it, going to shoulder tackle the door open
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dias smashes Kane over
[20:11] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel facepalms
06[20:11] * 01@Jennifer moves in over the two, gun out, looking at the two assailants.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man is stunned before he can hit the last button. Cheryl frowns
[20:11] <01Dias`> 6Dias trips over Kane and tumbles into the room
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks confused. "Is it breakfast time?"
06[20:12] * 01@Kane slowly eyes DIas, then peers up towards Cheryl. 1Are you alright?
[20:12] <01Kit> <Chii> So much for infiltrating.
[20:12] <01Dias`> <Dias> O-Ow...
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the device off, eyeing it. Suddenly all four bodies vanish in a reality warp out
06[20:12] * 01@Jennifer sets her gun on mister Broken-Arm. "Who the hell are these guys...? What the..."
[20:12] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel goes to disarm the subdued men of any equipment she can fi... or at least she tries to, before they cheat.
[20:12] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks up and eyes them disappear, then looks at Cheryl. 1"You don't think those were..."
06[20:12] * 01@Jennifer stares. "Th-They tried to..."
06[20:13] * 01@Kane pushes himself to his feet, looking a bit in pain, though he quickly hides it.
[20:13] <01Kit> <Chii> Probably Said lackies.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs her fingers through her hair, grinding her teeth.
01[20:13] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes where one of the hallway guys was standing and adjusts his glasses. "Well... blimey."
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hugs onto Chii. "LAckies?"
[20:14] <01Dias`> <Dias> That means they know where we are already. 6He pushes himself up and looks over at Kane. 1"Sorry.
[20:14] <01Kit> 6Chii pats Lemon on the head. 1"They're gone now."
06[20:14] * 01@Kane holsters the pistol and peers around slowly, adjusts his glasses. 1You're lucky I had already subdued them.
06[20:14] * 01@Jennifer looks over at Lemon. "You okay? Chii?"
[20:14] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs, and falls over into a chair. "...we need better security." 6She rubs her eyes.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She flexes her fingers a few times. She doesn't look like she's surprised at the attempt
[20:14] <01Kit> <Chii> So you probably already figured that although I'm back, that means we'll be attacked more, right?
01[20:15] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron peers in, "Well in terms of being stealthy, we aren't exactly aces."
[20:15] <01Kit> 6Chii peers at Cheryl. 1"After all, that means everything you've collected just got mine added to it."
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was waiting for this. 6* She notes grimly. "This reality is a trap."
[20:15] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes Cameron and frowns. 1"Speak for yoursel--" 6She pauses, then throws a slew of shurikens into the doorframe next to his head.
[20:15] <01Dias`> 6Dias rubs his face, then looks at Cheryl. 1"What makes you think that?"
01[20:16] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes them, then Chii. "Well hello to you too little dove!"
[20:16] <01Kit> 6Chii snarls, quickly reaching for her guns under the bed. 1"Who the hell are you?!"
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> All our missing people were drawn here. A reality that lets others compete
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It screamed trap the moment we came
[20:16] <01@Kane> If we aren't reacting Chii. Clearly we know him.
[20:16] <01Kit> <Chii> And I don't.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* LEmon holds Chii in a hug grip
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Lemn> He is Mr. Cameron. He lost his daughter
[20:16] <01Dias`> <Dias> Huh, suppose that makes sense. I hope that doesn't mean we're hopping then.
01[20:16] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Micah Cameron, plased to meet you, Chii wasn't it?"
06[20:17] * 01@Kane nods to Cheryl sightly. 1A tournament for a reality crystal of all things. Of course we would attempt to get it.
[20:17] <01Kit> <Chii> So does this mean John's a traitor?
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know; he seemed eager to avoid this reality either way
[20:17] <01Kit> 6Chii puts her guns on her pillow, hrmphing. 1"You told me he left when you showed up."
01[20:17] <01@Jennifer> "Huh? No way, he wouldn't..."
[20:17] <01Ariel> Raquel> "......"
[20:17] <01Kit> <Chii> 'Something to take care of.'
[20:17] <01Dias`> <Dias> This reality probably is connected to theres in some way. No doubt they know when people enter it.
01[20:18] <01@Jennifer> "Maybe if it is, he figured his presence would be a red flag."
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll steal the crystal tomorrow while Dias fights; hopefully we can find out who's behind all of this
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flexes her fingers again, annoyance on her face
[20:18] <01@Kane> Someone should be on watch for the rest of the night.
[20:18] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Cheryl. 1"Why do we need to steal it when I'm going to win it?"
[20:19] <01Kit> <Chii> I'll keep watch.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Because they aren't going to hand it to you if they're the enemy, are they?
[20:19] <01Dias`> <Dias> Damn right they will.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> For once, be fucking smart, Dias, and stop pissing ego
06[20:19] * 01@Kane shakes his head slightly. 1It's impossible for him to do so.
06[20:19] * 01@Jennifer looks around slowly. "Hey Chii... how many crystals do you have?"
[20:19] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Think of it as... appropriating your reward."
[20:19] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Kane then just turns to leave.
[20:19] <01Kit> <Chii> Why do you want to know?
[20:20] <01@Kane> She has three. 6He notes.
01[20:20] <01@Jennifer> "I was just thinking... did they try to take you?"
[20:20] <01Kit> 6Chii glares at Kane. 1"Why do you know!?"
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to get up, having her tactical suit shift to blouse and jeans and sits down at a table
06[20:20] * 01@Kane points to his eyes.
[20:20] <01Kit> <Chii> I keep lots of things hidden.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> He has a device to help him detect crystals now
06[20:21] * 01@Kane smiles politely.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I helped.
01[20:21] <01@Jennifer> "Oh that's cool."
06[20:21] * 01@Jennifer grins.
[20:21] <01Kit> <Chii> Tch. I had five at one point. I lost two while I was after the sixth esper.
[20:21] <01Dias`> 6Dias steps out of the room and moves for the elevator, stepping on and going down
[20:21] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel notices Cheryl shift, and quickly remembers to change her tacsuit from sleepware to something appropriate to be seen in.
01[20:21] <01@Jennifer> "The sixth... what?"
01[20:21] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron leans near the doorway.
[20:21] <01@Kane> If you need me Cheryl. I will be next door. 6He notes with a nod, moving back to get his things gathered up.
[20:22] <01Kit> <Chii> It's a long story. They take compatible crystals and this armor I've acquired as a medium. But I'll admit I fucked up. Not that I don't plan on getting those two back.
[20:22] <01@Kane> 6* Cole snores loudly.
01[20:23] <01@Jennifer> "So they weren't destroyed? Well that's good."
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Everyone get sleep.
[20:23] <01Kit> <Chii> I was mugged, if you must know. You're not the only ones that get ambushed.
06[20:23] * 01@Kane turns and steps out, moving back into his room.
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes out her datapad, setting it down to do work. Lemon lays back down
06[20:23] * 01@Jennifer nods at Cheryl, then Chii. "Alright, see you in the morning."
[20:23] <01Kit> <Chii> They were esper-compatible, though, so I can't just let them have them.
06[20:24] * 01@Jennifer nods to Chii politely again, letting her finish.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cherly points at Jen, then the door
01[20:24] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron shrugs and heads back into his room, laying down to get a few more wings.
[20:24] <01Kit> 6Chii slides out of bed and stretches, then shifts her tactical suit to her ceremonial outfit and slides the gauntlets and grieves on. 1"I'll take alook around, Cherry."
[20:24] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel slowly heads back to her room, troubled by something.
06[20:24] * 01@Jennifer blinks and nods to Cheryl and steps out.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright. 6* She tells Chii, going back to her work
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> Time: Morning
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the food, taking a bite of it
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* OUtside the people seem unusually animated, the arena already packed full. X is eating as she gets ready to go
[20:26] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel nibbles at her food groggily, looking like she didn't get much sleep.
[20:26] <01@Kane> 6* Cole slowly steps out onto the floor with their rooms from the stairwell, rubbing his head slowly.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stands in the main area with a tray of food she stole and made for the team
01[20:26] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sits in the lobby with a cup of tea, his clothing currently an ill attempt at looking inconspicuous, jeans and a hoodie.
[20:26] <01Dias`> 6Dias is gone, having not gone back to the room.
[20:27] <01@Kane> 6* Cole steps into his room.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <X> When did Dias leave, Lilith? 6* She asks her
06[20:27] * 01@Jennifer eats some of the food, standing nearby Lemon, a slight smile on her face.
[20:27] <01Kit> <Lilith> He did not return after the break in.
[20:27] <01@Kane> 6* Kane steps off of the elevator with a bag of supplies as he moves towards Lemon.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <X> Break in?
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out of the stairway, her hair in a ponytail, working on a datapad
[20:27] <01Kit> <Lilith> You slept through it, mistress.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <X> What was stolen?
[20:28] <01Kit> 6Chii sits on the rooftop of the hotel, kicking her feet as she peers about.
[20:28] <01Kit> <Lilith> Our general, almost.
06[20:28] * 01@Jennifer nods to Kane, taking a bite out of her muffin. "Morning Kane."
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <X> Oh.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <X> Why her?
01[20:28] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron watches people in the lobbuy, sipping his tea.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon offers KAne some food
[20:28] <01Kit> <Lilith> Perhaps you should ask her, mistress.
[20:28] <01@Kane> Morning. Lemon can you place this in the pocket reality? 6He holds up the bag.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <X> You ask her
[20:28] <01Ariel> <Raquel> "...they didn't say before teleporting off..." *mumbling*
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses, then nods, shifting to take it it
06[20:29] * 01@Kane takes some food in return giving her a nod and a smile.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts the datapad on her belt, then moves to step out, adjusting her hat
[20:29] <01@Kane> 6* Cole's shower can be heard.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* The masked man stands in the center of the arena, arms crossed
[20:30] <01Kit> 6Lilith sighs and moves over to Cheryl. 1"General, why did they wish to abduct you?"
01[20:30] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron stands up and follows Cheryl out.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> They think I'm pretty.
[20:30] <01Kit> 6Lilith pauses, staring, then moves back to inform X.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hurries to follow Cheryl once she steps out
[20:30] <01Dias`> 6Dias leans against the railing that overlooks the arena grounds, his eyes focused on Mr. X
[20:30] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X, a small smile. "...feeling better with things back to 'normal'?"
06[20:30] * 01@Kane moves after them.
06[20:30] * 01@Jennifer heads after Lemon.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <X> Hm. Yes, I guess so
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* X sees them going, so she takes her toast and follows
[20:31] <01Kit> 6Chii drops from the roof, freefalling, then lands, quickly crouching dramatically to absord the fall.
[20:31] <01Kit> <Chii> So, what's the plan, Cherry?
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Let the fight begin. Have X and Raquel do hidden ripples to see if they can find a spot to get us into the area with the crystal, and once they do, enter
[20:31] <01Kit> 6Key bursts into the lobby and runs around the dining table and X and Lilith. Lilith twitches.
[20:32] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs a little, and follows after X with a muffin in hand.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The masked man raises his hands after the announcer mentions the battle about to begin. The crowd cheers for him.
06[20:32] * 01@Jennifer nods a bit as she walks along, rubbing the back of her head.
06[20:33] * 01@Kane chews quietly as he glances towards Cheryl, then to Chii.
01[20:33] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron peers around, almost as though he's looking for mauraders to come running at them at any moment.
[20:33] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps over the railing now, dressed in his pink gi. He lands in a crouch and moves over to the center.
04[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lemon and Jennifer will be in the crowd to cheer as usual
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> As will X unless Raquel can't find a way in, then we'll bring her in
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man turns to face Dias, his long brown coat blowing to no wind.
06[20:34] * 01@Jennifer nods, she looks at Lemon a bit as they walk. "Someone's gotta keep Dias' morale up."
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I will cheer loudly.
[20:34] <01Dias`> 6Dias reaches up, his hands retightenign the knot to his tattered brown headband
06[20:35] * 01@Kane swallows the food. 1What if they have a defense to ripples and we just set those off?
01[20:36] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron puts his hands in his pockets and walks along.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I've been scanning it. I haven't detected anything. But it's a gamble, yes.
[20:36] <01Kit> <Chii> What if, what if, what if... If you're afraid to even try, you'll never get anywhere.
01[20:36] <01@Jennifer> "We can always sync up and pull out if things get sticky."
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves into the arena. Cheryl motions everyone else not cheering to follow her to a back alley booths. Passing the hotdog man
[20:36] <01@Kane> Being careful and being afraid are two very different things Chii.
06[20:36] * 01@Kane walks with Cheryl.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses Raquel a datapad full of pictures so she can get an idea of distance
[20:37] <01@Kane> 6* Marcus narrows his eyes that they didn't buy anything.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon waves, then hurries into the arena. She screams loudly. "GO DIAS"
[20:37] <01Kit> <Chii> Unless you're nothing but cautious. Celsius taught me that much.
06[20:37] * 01@Jennifer heads up to the stands with Lemon. "YEAH! GO DIAS!"
[20:37] <01@Kane> Of course.
[20:37] <01Kit> <Chii> When's the last time you ran in headfirst?
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Announcer> And it's time for the epic semi final battle.
[20:37] <01@Kane> Last night.
[20:37] <01Dias`> 6Dias tilts his head slightly then peers towards the voices, his stance loosening up now. He looks over at Mr. X. 1"Looks like you have to worry now."
[20:38] <01Kit> <Chii> Oh, really? I'll have to ask Lemon about that.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> Seven minutes. Seven minutes is all the time I have to spare to play with you
06[20:38] * 01@Kane eyes Chii and shakes his head.
[20:38] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel starts looking over the pad, rubbing her eyes and studying the images.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Announcer> BEGIN!
[20:38] <01Kit> <Chii> I've seen you looking at each other. Fufufu.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii's ear and twists
[20:38] <01Dias`> <Dias> Seven minutes, huh? 6He takes a step back, his hands raising now
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Drop that subject
[20:39] <01Kit> <Chii> Owowowowow!
06[20:39] * 01@Kane glances off to the side to something that's interesting.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms in the arena. "Keep studying. I'll signal when to begin, Raquel."
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* The masked man does a bring it motion with his gloved hand
01[20:39] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron crosses her arms and looks at the Chii quietly, pursing his lips a bit in thought.
[20:39] <01Dias`> 6Dias takes a deep breathe, his body shift forward. He kicks off, dashing in towards Mr.X
[20:40] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and falls back some so she's more out of sight. She does want to be able to see this fight, and wonders if anyone is recording.
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon does a fist pump woo woo woo. X eyes her
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's datapad does seem to have a recording program going on
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X holds up a hand to the crowd again
06[20:40] * 01@Jennifer cheers Dias on, mimicing Lemon.
[20:41] <01Dias`> 6Dias kicks off low, twisting and throwing a sweeping leg kick, his right forearm shifting up to guard his front
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man shifts to the side in a second, letting Dias hit air.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* He slams his fist for his back
[20:42] <01Dias`> 6Dias grunts, as his body jerks forward from it. His left hand slams into the ground and he pivots on it, swinging his legs around completly to trip up Mr.X again
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X leaps backwards easily and smoothly
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> Weak.
[20:43] <01Dias`> 6Dias stands up now, his back shifting slightly. He keeps his eyes focused on Mr. X.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man just stands there
01[20:43] <01@Jennifer> "COME ON DIAS! BREAK DOWN THAT WALL!"
[20:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias kicks off again, coming in at Mr. X straight on. He swings his left foot in for a low kick for his knee.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man shifts to spring upwards and to the right
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> I expected more.
[20:45] <01Dias`> 6Dias drops his left foot and pushes off it, then twists, throwing another kick for the Mr. X with his right foot, aiming for his side now
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man shifts to leap backwards rapidly, putting half the arena between them
[20:46] <01Dias`> 6Dias lowers his foot. His expression blank as he eyes the man already distancing himself.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man draws a line in the dirt with his foot. "Cross the line, Dias. Through any means necessary."
[20:47] <01Kit> 6Chii leans against the wall, her eyes closed and arms crossed, but fidgeting restlessly.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches the fight on a second datapad.
[20:47] <01@Kane> 6* Kane quietly eyes the sky.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... the crowd isn't very distracted yet
[20:47] <01Dias`> 6Dias rotates his neck as he shifts the top part of his gi off, letting it hang to his side. He takes another deep breathe and kicks off, dashing in at the man now
[20:47] <01@Kane> 6* Cole sits down by the others in the arena. 1I'm shocked he hasn't lost yet.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man stands his ground
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> He will because he is Dias
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> *win
[20:48] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel wants to look up to see what's going on, but is focusing on studying the layout.
[20:48] <01@Kane> <Cole> He does seem to have the heart for it.
[20:48] <01Kit> <Lilith> Heart isn't everything, but neither is experience.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <X> FIGHT HARDER, DIAS. HE PISSES ME OFF
06[20:49] * 01@Jennifer smirks. "Dias has heart, he's just gotta get into it."
[20:49] <01Kit> 6Lilith reels from X's shout. Key stands up beside X. 1"FIGHT, CRABMAN!"
[20:49] <01Dias`> 6Dias comes in low, going for another sweep kick, his upper body twisting faster and his hands already planting against the group and pushing off.
[20:49] <01Dias`> NRP: ground
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X lets Dias kick his leg, barely shifting, and grabs the leg; he runs from the line with Dias now
[20:50] <01Dias`> 6Dias hands drag against the ground and he twists his upperbody violently, his other foot swinging around for Mr. X's hand
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* MR. X's hand is hit. He throws Dias to the side
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> Come now, poor performance indeed.
01[20:51] <01@Jennifer> "Let's go Dias! Put some more heart into it!"
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> We believe in you Dias!
[20:51] <01@Kane> <Cole> This Mr. X guy seems familiar.
06[20:52] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks at Cole. "You think?"
[20:52] <01@Kane> <Cole> Who knows. I have a hangover.
[20:52] <01Dias`> 6Dias hits the ground and bounces until he rights himself up and he slides to a stop. He kicks off again, heading at Mr X.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X shifts t ostand his ground again
[20:53] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps straight at Mr. X throwing a left hook for his jaw, his right arm held up defensively
06[20:53] * 01@Jennifer frowns, looking over Mr. X slowly.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X shifts backwards to let the attack miss him; he keeps drawing Dias away from the line
[20:54] <01Dias`> 6Dias steps forward, this time throwing a right jab as he brings his left arm back.
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X just parries it with a slap
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> Are you always this single minded?
[20:55] <01Dias`> 6Dias right arm snaps back and he responds by swinging his left leg in for a low kick
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X backflips to avoid it
06[20:55] * 01@Jennifer leans forward a bit, watching.
[20:56] <01Dias`> 6Dias pushes off, with his free foot as Mr. X backflips and he twists, throwing a roundhouse at his side
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X shifts his arm to take the kick and lands on his feet
[20:56] <01Dias`> 6Dias presses against it and snaps his body around, his other foot swinging towards the same side now
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* MR. X shifts backwards to avoid it again
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, Raquel, start probing
01[20:58] <01@Jennifer> "Come on Dias! Don't just keep pressing! Show him your stuff!"
[20:58] <01Dias`> 6Dias brings his hand down to keep himself from falling completely on his face and he rolls to a stance. He pushes off and kicks at the same side again.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> Time is almost up
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X avoids it again
[20:58] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and starts opening mini-ripples to try to find the best area of approach
[20:59] <01Dias`> 6Dias brings his foot down and he stands there now, eyeing Mr. X as he takes several deep breathes.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X shifts to lean against the arena wall
06[21:00] * 01@Kane watches Raquel quietly.
[21:00] <01Dias`> 6Dias shakes his left hand and he bounces from side to side then hops in at Mr. X, throwing a straight kick for his chest
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* MR. X grabs his foot and catching it from hitting him
[21:01] <01Dias`> 6Dias pushes against it, his entire body tensing
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X holds onto it, a foot pressing against the wall.
[21:02] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel probs with... a fork from breakfast, untill she finds a spot good enough that she can peek around.
[21:02] <01Dias`> 6Dias growls. 1"RISING MOON!" 6He snaps his other foot upwards as he throws his upperbody backwards.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* RAquel would see an open area that looks like a break room
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X shoves Dias back hard when he begins to try
[21:02] <01Dias`> 6Dias lands on his chest and slides back.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X turns and begins to move for the exit
01[21:03] <01@Jennifer> "Wh-What the..."
[21:03] <01Dias`> 6Dias slowly pushes himself up and begins gathering dark energy in his left hand.
01[21:03] <01@Jennifer> "Dias! GET BACK UP! YEAH!"
[21:03] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel pulls out, and closes the ripple. "...break room. It's pretty close."
[21:04] <01Kit> <Lilith> This is actually somewhat pathetic..
01[21:04] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron tilts his head.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> It's over. Your friends are dead already in this scenario. You tried to fight head on and never attempted to out manuever me. Or get near the line. You will fall.
[21:04] <01@Kane> <Cole> I think he tried harder against me. 6He notes.
[21:04] <01Dias`> <Dias> I dont' care about the line. 6He kicks off dashing in at Mr X.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X looks at Dias. "That's why you will lose, Dias. The line was what would have stopped your friends from dying. If I had a device on me, I'd have blown up their seats already."
01[21:05] <01@Jennifer> "Huh..."
[21:05] <01Kit> <Lilith> Ah, I see. The line is the objective. Dias only sees what is right in front of him.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes her seat now
06[21:05] * 01@Jennifer looks down slowly. "He was kidding right?"
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. We'll go from there, then. Everyone ready?
[21:06] <01Kit> <Lilith> I doubt it.
06[21:06] * 01@Kane nods once.
[21:06] <01Kit> <Chii> Yes.
01[21:06] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> Ready.
[21:06] <01Dias`> 6Dias throws his left hand forward, firing a Dark Beam for Mr. X's chest as he dashes in an arc towards him.
[21:06] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel opens the ripple full sized
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X leans to the side. "Your enemy will never fight you head on, except to slow you down to take what they want. This fight is over. I bow out." 6* He tells the judges.
[21:07] <01Kit> 6Chii leaps through the ripple.
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron heads through the ripple.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves through
06[21:07] * 01@Kane moves through the ripple.
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> "Is he... trying to teach Dias a lesson?"
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* The crowd boos
06[21:07] * 01@Jennifer tilts her head.
[21:07] <01@Kane> <Cole> ...
[21:07] <01Dias`> 6Dias slides to a stop now, his eyes narrowed on him.
[21:07] <01Kit> <Lilith> Yes. Was that not obvious?
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man turns and moves to exit
[21:08] <01Kit> 6Lilith frowns. 1"He has only cared to display to Dias since the very beginning.
01[21:08] <01@Jennifer> "It's a tournament... he hurt X, you'd think he'd want a piece of Dias after all that... and he's just... teaching..." *she stares at Mr. X*
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> <X> .......
[21:08] <01@Kane> <Cole> Who's next?
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to the door to the breakroom
[21:08] <01Kit> <Lilith> It was likely to provoke Dias into fighting seriously, but even that seems to have done nothing but blind him.
[21:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias stands there.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ruin's number is announced and Dias' number.
[21:09] <01Kit> 6Ruin moves for the first time since Cole's previous match, slowly walking to the arena.
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X walks up the steps to exit
[21:09] <01Dias`> 6Dias starts moving after Mr. X now.
[21:09] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks around to see if anyone else is heading through.
06[21:09] * 01@Jennifer watches Mr. X go, her brow raised.
06[21:10] * 01@Kane pulls out his pistol as he moves up behind Cheryl.
[21:10] <01Kit> 6Ruin stares after Dias, peering toward the judges.
01[21:10] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron walks behind them, no weapons of his own.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the door slowly to look into the hallway. Two armed guards are facing the other way, toward the arena, probably protecting the entrance
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> <Judges> Uh, apparantly we're taking a small recess.
[21:10] <01Kit> 6Ruin enters standby in the arena.
06[21:11] * 01@Kane glances to Cheryl, then the guards.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up two fingers to the others
01[21:11] <01@Jennifer> "They're not gonna disqualify him, it'd be bad ratings to have two quitters in a row... we need to get Dias back in the fight or this could go bad for the team."
[21:11] <01Kit> 6Chii creeps in and up behind the guards slowly, raising her gauntleted hands.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <X> ....
[21:11] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel heads through the ripple.
06[21:11] * 01@Kane readies his pistol, putting it to stun.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guards mutter how Mr. X stopped fighting, no longer eyeing their mini videos
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Guard 2> This sucks
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Guard 1> Yeah.
[21:12] <01Dias`> <Dias> You call me out? And this is all you do? Run away?
01[21:12] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron adjusts his glasses, pulling gloves out of his pockets and putting them on.
06[21:12] * 01@Kane takes aim, waiting for Cheryl's signal.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> There's nothing to call out in you.
[21:12] <01Kit> 6Chii jabs at both to the neck with knife-handed blows to the side, aiming to knock them out while they're blissfully unaware.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grimaces, motioning to attack
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guards are hit, stumbling, not quite out
06[21:12] * 01@Kane releases a stun shot forward for one.
[21:12] <01Kit> 6Chii leaps up and quickly drops a stomp onto the head of the left.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> I provoked you and you did exactly what I expected. Fought blindly and head on
[21:13] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel closes the ripple now that she figures it's safe, letting the others deal with poor Biggs and Wedge.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* The two guards are out now
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves into the hallway, peering at another set of doors. She mvoes up to them to get ready
[21:13] <01Kit> <Chii> Knock out blows just aren't what they used to be.
01[21:13] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron finishes adjusting his gloves, the metal seals on the back of his hands visible. He moves after Cheryl.
[21:13] <01Dias`> <Dias> You mean tried to figure out how hard you hit? How fast you were?
06[21:14] * 01@Kane makes a small mental note as he slides up by Cheryl.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <MR. X> You don't always get those chances in a fight. The simple fact is your enemy is stronger, faster, and meaner than you, and you have to quickly decide how best to avoid them. You fought me the opposite way of your objective - I lead you away.
[21:15] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel moves up, setting her gun to stun for the sake of the others.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the door and peers up the stairs
[21:15] <01Dias`> My objective was never that retarded line you decided to draw out.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> The line was all that mattered. 6* He exits the arena
06[21:16] * 01@Jennifer rocks on her heels, looking at the others. "Should we do something?"
[21:16] <01@Kane> <Cole> I thought we were just waiting on the fight to end?
[21:16] <01Dias`> 6Dias turns and punches into a wall.
01[21:17] <01@Jennifer> "Well..."
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves up the stairs qiuietly
06[21:17] * 01@Kane peers up with Cheryl, then slowly begins to creep up them.
01[21:17] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron moves along after Kane.
01[21:17] <01@Jennifer> "There's still one fight left."
06[21:18] * 01Dias` presses his head against the wall now as he stares down at the ground
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches another hallway - this looks more like a business building now, the long hallway modern and fancy
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X walks over to Dias
06[21:18] * 01@Kane peers around as he moves down it.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along, frowning. She eyes her datapad of no fighting taking place
01[21:19] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks about, the look alien to him as he walks along.
[21:19] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel stays to the rear, hesitant at seeing Cheryl's reaction.
[21:19] <01Dias`> 6Dias slowly glances over at X. 1"Yeah?"
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers up. Suddenly an energy field surrounds everyone but Raquel
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> <X> Are you alright? You have another fight
06[21:20] * 01@Kane peers around quickly. 1Damnit.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls
01[21:20] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks about. "What in the blazes..."
[21:20] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel tenses, taking a step back. She tries to open a ripple to let the others out.
[21:20] <01Dias`> <Dias> No I'm not. I take a fight serious and I get slapped in the face.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ripple gets scrambled
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> <X> He is the fool - but you have to beat this weird machine to get the crystal
[21:21] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel figured that'd happen... she looks for the emitter, setting her gun to kill.
[21:21] <01Kit> <Chii> Well, fuck.
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> Well, well, and here I thought you all wouldn't fall into such an obvious trap
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Raquel wouldn't see one - the walls and floor seem to be projecting it
06[21:21] * 01@Kane puts his hand to his face, rubbing his temple.
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's eyes, narrow, looking for the voice.
01[21:21] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Right, trap." *he looks around for the voice*
[21:21] <01Dias`> <Dias> Cheryl right, they wouldn't give me the crystal anyways.
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> <X> Then what do we do?
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> Wait right there while I escort you out of this reality
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches Ruin, wondering what todo since she can't cheer
[21:22] <01Dias`> <Dias> You should get to the others and help them. I'll try and distract everyone with the fight they want. 6He pushes off and moves back to the arena
[21:22] <01@Kane> Cheryl. We should go.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> <X> How do I get to them?
[21:23] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel starts prepping a charge.
[21:23] <01Dias`> <Dias> Raquel' with them right?
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Kane. "I can't use my comm in here."
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> <X> Right. Her. 6* She nods, whistling for Lilith and moves off
06[21:23] * 01@Kane frowns. 1Of course not.
[21:23] <01Kit> 6Lilith turns her head, tilting it, then hops up, running to join X.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip and smashes it into the energy barrier
[21:23] <01Kit> 6Key stares, caught between Dias and X.
[21:23] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...the shield's strong, right?"
06[21:23] * 01@Jennifer looks up at Lemon.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
[21:24] <01Dias`> 6Dias pulls off his headband and shifts it in his gi as he steps out onto the arena floor.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> <Judges> And here is our winner! Time for the final fight!
[21:24] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel plants the explosive on the cieling, and ducks into the stairwell.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it.
[21:24] <01@Kane> ....
01[21:24] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks up, frowning.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know how strong I wish it to be suddenly
[21:24] <01Ariel> Raquel> <...good to go?>
[21:25] <01@Kane> At least if it's not strong enough, you won't be very angry.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Point
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, we're good to go
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The barrier deactivates suddenly
[21:25] <01Dias`> 6Dias steps out towards the center of the arena now
[21:25] <01Kit> 6Chii slams her hand into the ground and starts forming an earthen barrier
01[21:25] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks around. "Hmm..."
06[21:25] * 01@Kane shifts back slightly, eyeing Chii.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Judges> FIGHT
01[21:26] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "We should probably use this moment to get away."
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the area where it's gone
[21:26] <01@Kane> Too late. 6He notes.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, stick your arm out, CAmeron.
[21:26] <01Dias`> 6Dias breaks off into a dash, circling around Ruin
[21:26] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel takes a deep breath, "...one..."
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps her comm while it's down.
[21:26] <01Kit> 6Ruin shifts out of standby, wobbling slowly, like he's dysfunctional, then careens his head, following Dias with his eyes, but only when in front of him.
01[21:26] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Not dying of excitement at the thought."
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lemon?
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers down
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes, Mistress? 6* She whispers into the device on her wrist
06[21:27] * 01@Jennifer blinks at Lemon.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Start synching us to go
[21:27] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel is around the corner, where she can't see the others, "...two..."
[21:27] <01Kit> <Ruin> Once you are... de... fea... ted..." 6He jerks. 1"...My world... w-will be. Restored."
01[21:28] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Those explosives..."
[21:28] <01@Kane> Don't blow the charge Raquel. 6He calls out.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks, then goes to synch when the barrier rises again
[21:28] <01Dias`> 6Dias passes by the front side of Ruin again and circles around his back again
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Mis--? 6* She eyes static
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eeys it rise again, looking ired now
[21:28] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel stops before pressing the trigger, stepping up to peer into the hallway. "...why?"
06[21:28] * 01@Jennifer frowns. "...Not good, we'd better hurry."
[21:28] <01@Kane> They'll lower the barrier whenever you do detonate it and kill us all.
01[21:29] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Oh, I get it. Worse then the bloody Nazis."
[21:29] <01Kit> 6Ruin's runs forward when Dias passes behind him and twists, raising a hand that fires a small, linear blast of white light for Dias, firing in rapid succession.
[21:29] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs, and retrieves the bomb. "...never get to use these." 6She mutters unhappily.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the floor now, then begins to smash her fist into it repeatedly
[21:30] <01Dias`> 6Dias plants his foot and starts running to the side now as the blasts come in at him
[21:30] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to open a ripple in the cieling, figuring even if it's harmful enough that it can't be used to go through, that'll just mess up the things there even more
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rises and tries to decide what to do
01[21:30] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron draws a seal and tries to create a nice hole in the floor.
01[21:30] <01@Jennifer> "Can you sync them Lemon?"
[21:30] <01@Kane> 6* Cole peers to Lemon and Jen, confused.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> No
[21:30] <01@Kane> <Cole> Am I missing something?
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Raquel's ripple only comes wihtin inches of the area, before it scrambles
06[21:31] * 01@Jennifer frowns. "Crap. Yeah, they're in trouble."
[21:31] <01@Kane> <Cole> Wait, what?
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* CAmeron creates a hole into a dark blackness below
[21:31] <01Kit> 6Ruin raises his second hand and starts firing blasts in front of Dias, moving his hands toward one another to close the gap.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the hole, flexing her fingers
[21:31] <01Ariel> Raquel> "......"
[21:31] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I hate this place."
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Mistress Cheryl told us to synch up
01[21:31] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Bloody hell." *he pulls out a spoon and drops it down, listening for the clink*
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* A laser zaps it
[21:32] <01Dias`> 6Dias twists throws his left hand foward, firing a Dark beam right down the center towards Ruin's chest
06[21:32] * 01@Kane eyes the spoon. 1They've thought of everything.
01[21:32] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I do not recommend going down there."
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That voice sounded familiar....
01[21:32] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Someone you know?"
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Men begin to walk up the stairs behind Raquel
[21:32] <01@Kane> Yes. But I couldn't quite place it.
[21:33] <01Kit> 6Ruin throws himself into a side roll, the left side of his chest getting clipped and the armor breaking right off. He winces and stops blasting to raise a hand, forming a large white ball of light instead.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* They aim and fire stun blasts at her
01[21:33] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Perhaps someone you know and haven't heard in some time?"
01[21:33] <01@Jennifer> "Well, we need to find them."
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* X ripples into the breakroom, as close as she can get to Raquel.
[21:34] <01@Kane> 6* Cole rubs his head. 1Point me in their direction.
[21:34] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes the white ball of light then begins to strafe around it, his eyes staying focused on it
06[21:34] * 01@Jennifer looks around. "...I have no idea, Lemon?"
[21:34] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple behind her, switching her gun.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The men frown at that. They toss a grenade around the ripple
[21:34] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel grabs it telekinetically in mid air, holding it in front of the men while she stands behind the ripple
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then men toss another around it
[21:35] <01Kit> 6Ruin stares at him doing that, so raises his other hand and blasts in front of Dias again
[21:35] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel slams the grenade she has into the head of one, and takes cover
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, watching the fighting. At the other end of th ehallway, Alternate Dias appear.s Lemon jerks
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... I just sensed 9 crystals appear
01[21:36] <01@Jennifer> "...That can't be good."
06[21:36] * 01@Kane eyes Dias and makes a face. 1Damnit.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second grenade goes off, knocking Raquel into a wall. The men wince as the dud one hits them
[21:36] <01@Kane> <Cole> Take me there.
01[21:36] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks around at Alt. Dias.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> H-How?
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* The alternate Dias begins to approach.
[21:36] <01@Kane> You can't teleport?
[21:36] <01@Kane> NRP: Cole*
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> No
01[21:36] <01@Jennifer> "We can't do that."
[21:36] <01@Kane> <Cole> Oh...point me in the direction then?
[21:36] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps back, letting the blast miss.
[21:36] <01Kit> <Chii> Would we call this a moment of desperation?
[21:37] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel cringes, cursing duds as she slams into the wall
[21:37] <01Kit> 6Ruin fires behind Dias when he leaps back, then takes a step and hurtles the sphere toward him.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon points at the building at the edge of the arena. X runs up the stairs and attacks the men near Raquel. On the other side, the masked man smashes his way through the ceiling nad lands on Alternate Dias
01[21:37] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "It isn't his voice is it?"
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
06[21:37] * 01@Kane grits his teeth and holds up an energy knife, pressing it towards the shield.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* He then slides forward and smashes his fist through the floor and creates a hole on his side, then pokes his head down. Meanwhile the other Dias is recovering
01[21:38] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Hey, it's that Mr. X bloke."
[21:38] <01Dias`> 6Dias is hit be the second blast and he rolls along the ground. He shoves off it as the sphere moves in at him
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* A rope is extended up on the other side, barely. Cheryl eyes it
[21:38] <01@Kane> ...seriously?
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... Cameron.....? Use it
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* X helps Raquel up. MEanwhile, more armored guards are moving up the stairs
01[21:39] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sighs and climbs up.
[21:39] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel accepts the help up, opening a ripple to block the doorway as she notices more coming. "...company!"
[21:40] <01Kit> 6Ruin takes up a neutral stance and holds his hands out as the sphere flies in at Dias, sections of his cracked and broken armor popping open to reveal his innerworkings, but also other devices, starting to faintly glow as if taking in energy.
01[21:40] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron climbs down, ho ho ho.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X uses his body to hold the orpe on his side. Alternate Dias approaches behind him. As Cameron goes down, lasers fire at him, trying to get him
01[21:40] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron yelps and pulls himself back up.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the more men appearing, using her own ripple to help
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <Mr. X> Don't be a pussy. Just don't dangle low
[21:41] <01@Kane> 6* Cole nods and starts moving towards that building.
[21:41] <01Dias`> 6Dias presses off the ground and leaps to the side rolling until he slides into a crouch.
01[21:41] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Fine!" *he climbs down carefully, eyeing the lasers*
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias grabs the man in a headlock, choking him. He strains to hold on
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The orpe jerks constanly now
06[21:41] * 01@Kane reaches out to grab the rope and try to hold it still.
[21:41] <01Kit> 6Ruin doesn't move, slowly glowing more brightly, the sphere curving, albeit slowly to follow Dias.
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl helps Kane hold on, stronger
[21:42] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...can you hold them?"
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon yells at Dias. "Mistress is in trouble, Mr. Dias!"
01[21:42] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron holds on, frowning, looking for some place safe to move on from the rope.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> <X> For now.
01[21:42] <01@Jennifer> "L-Lemon..."
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* CAmeron would have to come up on the hole where MR. X and Alt. Dias are at. Or fall into the laser field darkness
[21:42] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks to look at Lemon, his eyes going wide. His eyes close for a second.
[21:42] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel moves her ripple to the back of the stairwell, and tosses one of her two remaining stun grenades in.
[21:43] <01Dias`> 6Dias turns and breaks into a full sprint towards the arena floor exit
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guards turn to eye the stun grenade, then fall over
[21:43] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel gives X the thumbs up, "...thanks."
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> <X> Good work
01[21:43] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron pulls himself along to the other hole.
[21:43] <01Kit> 6Ruin stares as Dias runs off again-- the sphere plunging into the ground and dispersing with singed arena floor. Ruin's armor closes, still glowering, apparently done charging, but he eyes the judges. Again.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias tries to break the masked man's neck. He strains, throwing the rope end to Cameron to hold onto, then rushes alternate Dias into a wall, gagging
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* The judges sigh, depressed
[21:44] <01@Kane> Chii, Cheryl. Go. I won't be any help against him.
[21:44] <01Kit> <Chii> ...You want us to grapple over..?
01[21:44] <01@Jennifer> *Cameron grabs on and creates something from the floor to secure it with his free hand, tying it on.
[21:45] <01Dias`> 6Dias sprints through the arean outer pathway, heading for the others now
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can you support the weight, Kane?
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Guards block Dias' path to the building
[21:45] <01@Kane> I believe so.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions Chii to go
02[21:45] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:45] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel glances back towards the others, wondering what she should do
[21:45] <01Dias`> 6Dias left hand slides behind his back then swings to the forward as his eyes close, a flash bang going off.
[21:45] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes the hole, then shrugs. She moves forward and just drops down, then grabs the rope and shimmies along it not unlike a monkey for the other gap.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <X> We can try to open a ripple to the other side of the field for them to come to oru side
01[21:45] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron keeps hold of the rope despite securign it to be sure, he watches the fight.
[21:46] <01@Kane> 6* Cole comes running towards the guards out front.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lasers try to get her tail
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guards go blind. They flail about
[21:46] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitantly tries that, every ripple she sent in that direction having been scattered
[21:46] <01Kit> 6Chii flits it from side to side, snarling. 1"Fuckers, it's worth more than all of you!"
06[21:46] * 01@Kane tries to bowl one over as he then tries to slam through the front door.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ripple opens, if she put it far enough from the field itself
[21:46] <01@Kane> NRP: Cole*
[21:46] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps at one, kicking for the side of his head and if succesful, pushing off it and swinging his other leg for the other guards head
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* The two guards go down
[21:47] <01Dias`> 6Dias lands and continues sprinting
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias beats the masked man's face into a wall
01[21:47] <01@Jennifer> "Someone should probably help the masked bloke, that looks painful."
[21:47] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel places the ripple as far across as she safely can, "...I don't pretent to understand these physics..."
01[21:47] <01@Jennifer> Cameron>
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* The steel door creaks from Cole
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> <X> Put it in the field's area of power, it negates it
[21:48] <01@Kane> 6* Cole stumbles back. 1....I used to be stronger. 6He sighs.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs down next once Chii is over
[21:48] <01@Kane> 6* Cole closes his eyes and then jerks forward to send an elbow towards the door, tapping into his crystal a bit.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door shatters
06[21:48] * 01@Kane just makes sure to try and hold it secure for Cheryl.
[21:49] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, "...I ment more the not touching anything between on a metaphysical level as we move from one point to another."
01[21:49] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron is still holding the rope, his other hand drawing a new circle.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <X> The physics behind it are simple, you see...
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias throws the masked man down the hallway, then turns to face the others
[21:49] <01@Kane> 6* Cole lets out a breath, putting a hand to his chest as he moves forward.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole and Dias would fight two guards on the ground, and a stairway
01[21:50] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron gulps a little.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias approaches CAmeron
[21:50] <01Kit> 6Chii leaps out of the hole, flipping, then soars down, sending her gauntleted hand for the back of alt. Dias' head.
03[21:51] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls herself up
[21:51] <01@Kane> 6* Cole moves to leap for one of the guards.
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias doesn't register it. He eyes Cheryl, blurs and grabs her in a bear hug
[21:51] <01@Kane> Cheryl!
01[21:51] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron touches the seal he's formed, it glows and he lifts his hand up, he freezes as he eyes the change to the situation.
[21:51] <01Kit> <Chii> Goddamn it.
[21:51] <01Dias`> 6Dias comes in low at the other guard, kicking out for his legs
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Those poor guards are defeated again
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers
06[21:52] * 01@Kane thinks he must be fat as he jumps up and moves for the stairs.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias reaches for his device to warp out
[21:52] <01Kit> 6Chii hurtles a kunai for the device.
[21:52] <01Dias`> 6Dias sprints up the stairs now
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves through Raquel's ripple to the fight side
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Alternate Dias uses his own arm to take the hit instead of using CHeryl
[21:53] <01Kit> <Chii> Fuck you! I just got back, you're not taking her away from me." 6She barrels forward, apparently augmenting herself with wind to move faster.
[21:53] <01@Kane> 6* Kane tries to see if he can crawl over towards the other, unless it would be too unstable.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* With no one to hold Kane's side, he's stuck
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dias and Cole reach Raquel and her ripple
[21:53] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel steps though the ripple
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Alternate Dias grabs CAmeron and throws him at Chii
01[21:54] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron yelps again and goes flying.
[21:54] <01@Kane> 6* Kane frowns, glancing up at the ceiling slightly.
[21:54] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Raquel going through it and he moves to leap through
[21:54] <01@Kane> 6* Cole moves in after Dias, still new to this ripple idea.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias blurs past the others to the set of stairs that lead up
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* On his side
[21:54] <01Kit> 6Chii leaps, runs atop Cameron and uses him to soar higher and flip, kicking downward at Dias, snarling as he pulls this blurring shit, then shifts on her heel and surges toward him, arms back to run quicker.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door shuts on Chii suddenly - timed so she'd run into it
01[21:55] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron hits a wall and crumples down.
[21:55] <01Dias`> 6Dias lands and twists, his eyes darting around as he catches what's going on. He turns and dashes in after Chii, pushing himself to his fastest.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Kane now, then the ohle. Trying to decide how to get him out
[21:55] <01Kit> 6Chii slams into the wall, using her shoulder, giving out a beastly growl. 1"GODDAMN IT!"
[21:55] <01@Kane> 6* Cole moves after Dias, eyeing the door.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The masked man rises, his masked cracked
06[21:55] * 01@Jennifer looks at Lemon and shifts nervously. "Any idea what's going on now?"
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> N.
[21:56] <01@Kane> 6* Kane peers to X and gives her a slight shrug. 1Can you make a ripple where this hole is?
[21:56] <01Dias`> <Dias> CHII MOVE!
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* X tries - but it's near the laser field. It will be close
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mr. X leaps up the hole in th eceiling he made
[21:56] <01Kit> 6Chii gets back up, rotating her shoulder, then crouches, electricity crackling along her hand. She brings it back, then steps to the side for Dias while she focuses. 1"Chidori..."
[21:56] <01@Kane> 6* Kane eyes it, then her, then takes in a breath and tries to drop into it.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane makes it. He lands beside X
[21:57] <01@Kane> 6* Kane flops onto the ground and then glances up. 1Thank you.
[21:57] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps at it, his shoulder aimed for it as he taps into his crystal
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door barely budges
[21:57] <01Kit> 6Chii slams her hand forward in a knife-like posture, pouring lightning ki into it.
[21:57] <01Dias`> 6Dias grimaces as he steps back
06[21:58] * 01@Jennifer rocks on her heels and crosses her arms. "Soon as you can feel everyone... if it happens... we should get out of here."
[21:58] <01@Kane> 6* Cole slides to a halt as he watches them.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I am having trouble locking onto Mistress Cheryl's device
[21:58] <01@Kane> 6* Cole steps back and kneels, leaping up through the hole Mr. X used.
06[21:58] * 01@Jennifer frowns. "Not good... it's not gone right?"
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door tkaes the lightning
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> No
[21:58] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers around, eyeing the hole in the cieling. He leaps up after Cole
[21:59] <01@Kane> 6* Kane eyes them leaping up through a hole and then eyes Mr. X.
01[21:59] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron grumbles as he lifts himself up, standing. "Anyone get the number on that donkey cart?"
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole would find himself in a command room where a window is broken. The masked man and Alt. Dias are fighting; Cheryl is to one side, getting to her feet.
[21:59] <01@Kane> 6* Cole moves over to kneel and check on Cheryl.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Another figure appears to be in an office, watching, the lights dim.
[21:59] <01Dias`> 6Dias pulls himself up now and he peers around.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet, eyeing the office.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> <Masked Man> Now would be the time to get out the window.
[22:00] <01@Kane> 6* Cole pauses and eyes the figure. 1Who is that?
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* X ripples up beside Dias
[22:00] <01@Kane> 6* Kane uses X's ripple.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No idea.
[22:00] <01Dias`> <Dias> We should leave.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias punches the masked man into some consoles, causing one to spark
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She moves for the office
[22:01] <01@Kane> 6* Cole pauses and then dashes towards Alt Dias.
01[22:01] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes the ceiling and makes a set of handholds, pulling himself up to join the others.
[22:01] <01Dias`> <Dias> Of course. 6He takes several deep breathes and dashes in after Cole
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Masked Man> This isn't a fight we're going to win. We need to get through the hole NOW
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias turns to face them.
[22:02] <01@Kane> 6* Kane eyes the figure, pulling out a flashlight, he turns it on to shine it on him.
[22:02] <01@Kane> Buying time John. 6He throws out a punch for Alt Dias.
[22:02] <01@Kane> NRP: Cole* ;p;
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* The glass reflects most of the light, though he seems to be activating something
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* The masked man knocks the pieces away; John grimaces in pain
[22:02] <01Dias`> 6Dias gathers dark energy in his hand again and he twists, firing a dark beam right for the glass at the figure
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> <John> This room will ripple us out to a new reality
[22:03] <01@Kane> 6* Kane moves forward, firing a stun shot the mystery figure's back.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias grabs Dias' arm and it's aimed atX
[22:03] <01@Kane> 6* Cole shifts to move in front of the beam, arms crossed to protect X.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* The glass takes the shot. The figure turns to eye them once, then hits another button. Lights begin to flicker on the walls
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* X jerks.
[22:03] <01@Kane> <Kane> ...to the window. NOW.
01[22:04] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "We should listen to the bloke."
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to punch into the window
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> *glass
[22:04] <01Dias`> 6Dias cuts the beam off and he growls swinging his other hand for the glass again, firing another dark beam
01[22:04] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron heads for the window.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias grabs that hand and aims it at Kane
[22:04] <01@Kane> 6* Cole shakes his arms, smoking rising off of him.
[22:04] <01Dias`> 6Dias cuts it off as his hand is aimed so its' not a full blast.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* John rises
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias smiles coldly
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps punching. "SOn of a bitch, who ARE you?"
[22:05] <01@Kane> 6* Kane tries to avoid whatever came out.
[22:05] <01Dias`> 6Dias smiles back and snaps his head forward to head but Alt. Dias
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dias would crack his own skull
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* John shaeks his head, forming flames, and punches at the back of Alt. Dias' head, trying to get him off Dias
[22:06] <01Dias`> 6Dias head snaps back as blood begins to pour from it
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* X jerks. Alternate Dias lets Dias go, and punches John out the window
[22:06] <01Dias`> <Dias> Get Cheryl out of here.
[22:06] <01@Kane> 6* Cole frowns and moves to grab Cheryl and move for the window.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* John flies out nad smashes down the arena stairs
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <John> Fuck. Shit. Crap. Fuck
[22:06] <01@Kane> 6* Kane pushes himself to his feet and moves to leap out the window.
06[22:07] * 01@Jennifer eyes him falling. "S-Sensei!?"
[22:07] <01Dias`> <Dias> X MOVE! 6He starts backing up towards the window now.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* John pushes himself up as he passes a blonde. "Hey, wait right there." 6* He keeps stumbling
06[22:07] * 01@Jennifer rolls her eyes.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* X frowns, but grabs Dias to protect him as Alt. Dias turns to face them again
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stares
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* The next to light brightens up
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> *next t last
01[22:08] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron hops out the window.
[22:08] <01@Kane> <Cole> Sorry Cheryl. 6He says when he lands with her.
[22:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias grabs X tightly and he turns, sprinting towards the window and leaping to go out with her
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl howls in rage
[22:08] <01@Kane> 6* Kane peers around quickly, then pulls out a capsule he looks back up for the window, pulling his arm back.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I have everyone synched.
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> "Then we should go."
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias steps up to the window
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> "Got John too?"
[22:09] <01@Kane> 6* Kane throws the capsule forward, it would erupt in a flash.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> No.
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> "Add him?"
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias is affected like a Las Plagas. No, kidding
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I cannot.
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> "HUh... no device?"
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> It is not turned on if he has one
[22:09] <01Kit> 6Chii finishes her incantation having been in the rear like a good support mage-type. 1"Return everything to absolute zero, entrap thy plight within the freezing abyss. Celsius..!" 6She holds her hand out to Alt. Dias-- and toward the window.
[22:09] <01Dias`> 6Dias lands roughly, keeping X on top so she doesn't get hurt
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> "Sensei! Turn your device on!"
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias eyes the attack
[22:10] <01@Kane> <Kane> If we don't hurry we'll lose Chii.
06[22:10] * 01@Jennifer heads after John to grab hold of him.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* John is too far away
[22:10] <01Kit> 6Chii steps back slightly as a runic portal should open, a gate to somewhere far elsewhere and far, far colder. 1"Sorry, but you're in my way."
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes Kane. "W-What do I do?"
[22:10] <01@Kane> I'll get him. 6COle lets go of Cheryl and teleports to grab John.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias blurs suddenly
[22:10] <01@Kane> NRP: ;-;
[22:11] <01@Kane> <Kane> Do it.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias lands beside Cheryl
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Cole. "Hey, if yo uwanted to touch me there, you just had to ask."
[22:11] <01Kit> 6Chii leaps forward toward the window, hurtling two explosive charges toward it, pulling out a gun and firing on both. 1"Celsius, down there, protect Cheryl!"
01[22:11] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron snaps his fingers, letting go of his seal energy and blasts a sheet of fire at Alt. Dias.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hits the button. Everyone is teleported away - across town
[22:12] <01@Kane> <Cole> Can't let you stay here and die while you protected everyone else.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* John looks up. "Balls."
06[22:12] * 01@Jennifer looks around, frowning. "What the heck..."
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> <John> They have your devices locked onto.
[22:12] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers around, then looks at X. 1"Are you alright?"
01[22:12] <01@Jennifer> "Wh-What do we do?"
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* X nods.
[22:12] <01@Kane> <Kane> Our devices? Or just Lemon's method of syncing?
[22:12] <01Kit> 6Chii pauses, eyeing them relocated. 1"...Fuck, that's going to piss her off."
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls in rage, flexing her fingers.
01[22:13] <01@Jennifer> "Kane, can you resync us?"
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> Her method let them figure out your devices.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> I've spent the last few months trying to gather intel. They want Cheryl badf
[22:13] <01@Kane> <Kane> So even if we had a new method. It would be still be blocked. 6He frowns.
[22:13] <01Dias`> 6Dias slowly shifts to get up now, the back of his hand wiping the blood from his forehead
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* X puts pressure to Dias' head
[22:13] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...last... wait, what's going on here?"
[22:13] <01@Kane> <Cole> Last few months?
01[22:13] <01@Jennifer> "Realities move different."
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> Time in this reality crawls. That was to ensure they got you all here
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <John> It's why I bugged out to try to figure things out.
[22:14] <01@Kane> <Cole> Ah. He'll be here soon won't he?
[22:14] <01Kit> <Chii> Hey I-- ...Celsius is probably rampaging. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
[22:14] <01Dias`> 6Dias gives X a weak smile.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <JOhn> Yeah, after he's doen playing with Celsius
01[22:14] <01@Jennifer> "Sensei, is there another way for us to travel?"
[22:14] <01@Kane> <Kane> Very soon, then. 6He peers around quickly.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <John> MY device can't support you all. You have to take out the control room back where Alt. Dias is at to break the block
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* John rubs his chest in pain
06[22:15] * 01@Jennifer mvoes over and checks his wounds.
[22:15] <01Kit> <Chii> Well, suppose Celsius likes big ass beams like you kids seem to-- would that break the hold?
[22:15] <01@Kane> <Kane> Chii. Cheryl. Can you form your gear and fire a large blast for it?
[22:15] <01Kit> 6Chii slowly eyes Kane.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We don't have a bond link
[22:15] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers at John. 1"Then we have to head back there."
[22:15] <01@Kane> <Kane> Ah of course.
[22:15] <01Kit> 6Chii rubs her head. 1"I'm not so sure."
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the sky, flexing her fingers.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So he wants me.
[22:16] <01@Kane> <Cole> Don't even think about it blondie.
[22:16] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...why are they after Cheryl?"
[22:16] <01Kit> <Chii> You're mine.
[22:16] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm not going to let you use yourself.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <John> No idea. The leader wants him.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> *Her
06[22:16] * 01@Jennifer starts treating John's wounds, looking torn between smiling and frowning at him.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <John> I picked up teleporting. I could get us a bit closer.
[22:16] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel wonders if they're up against another Cran...
[22:17] <01@Kane> <Cole> I can do it as well. But mine may be a bit more painful.
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias falls from the sky toward RAquel
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon points up. "I feel his crystals."
[22:17] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to ripple him into solid rock, and then runs
01[22:17] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks up. "Better do it fast."
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias hits the solid rock
[22:17] <01@Kane> 6* Cole squints up. 1Oh...
[22:17] <01Dias`> 6Diasl looks at Lemon then over to where she points, his body tensing up now
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* He then rises.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> <John> Right. Well, time to go wreck things. 6* He teleports 5 feet, then another, then another
[22:18] <01Kit> <Chii> Fuck. Why's everyone have to teleport? This makes using espers a pain int he ass!"
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the other Dias
[22:18] <01@Kane> 6* Kane runs after John. While Cole gets ready to fight the alt Dias.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias turns to face them. Cheryl activates her whip
06[22:19] * 01@Jennifer blinks at the multiple teleports, holding onto him since she was tending his wounds.
[22:19] <01Dias`> 6Dias shifts his feet into a fighting stance now
04[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer wouldhav eben left behind
06[22:19] * 01@Jennifer gets up and runs after him then.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias begins to approach them.
[22:19] <01@Kane> 6* Cole pulls up his arms, then arms extending out the shifting around into himself to reveal miniguns, he begins to fire towards alt Dias.
[22:19] <01Dias`> <Dias> Lemon.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cole.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Grab me and start teleporting away
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes?
[22:20] <01Dias`> <Dias> How many crystals do you have on you?
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias blurs to avoid each shot
[22:20] <01@Kane> You might get a little nautious. 6He notes, backing up towards her.
[22:20] <01Kit> <Chii> If you're going, I'm going, Cherry!
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll live.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Four
01[22:20] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron shifts a bit, readying a new seal on his hand.
[22:20] <01@Kane> 6* Cole reaches out to take Cheryl and teleports as far back as he can with two people.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias frowns, then blurs after Cole
[22:20] <01Kit> <Chii> God damn it!
[22:20] <01Dias`> 6Dias shifts, frownign slightly. 1"Nevermind."
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches them go
[22:21] <01@Kane> 6* Cole takes a breath. 1I used to be able to do this almost indefinitely. 6He tries to do it again.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* He does so
01[22:21] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "She's drawing him away, we need to act now."
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> By going to the arena?
01[22:22] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "And blowing the hell out of that room."
[22:22] <01Kit> 6Chii holds her hand up and snarls. 1"Celsius. Absolute!"
[22:22] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks over at X. 1"Can you get us there?"
[22:22] <01@Kane> 6* Kane steadies his breathing as he runs after John, that cheating jerk.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <X> It would take a few ripples.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* John arrives in the arena, looking around
[22:22] <01Dias`> <Dias> It's faster then running and we don't have much time.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* The arena has been smashed to bits by a rampaging Alt Dias and summon.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple
[22:22] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves through it
06[22:22] * 01@Jennifer runs after John, she arrives a litte after him, huffing a bit as she looks around.
[22:23] <01@Kane> 6* Cole seems to be erraticly choosing his destination as he keeps porting, looking more and more tired after each one.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Need a break?
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves through
01[22:23] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks at Lemon. "Shall we? Can't leave you unprotected lass."
[22:23] <01@Kane> <Cole> SHouldn't have drank so much last night.
04[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer as she arrives would get stabbed in the shoulder from behind
06[22:23] * 01@Jennifer cries out in pain and urks a bit.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods moving through
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* She's lifted up on a spear
[22:24] <01@Kane> 6* Kane approaches the arena as he runs.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> Well, well, you should be enough to get her to come. USe your device and call Cheryl back here
06[22:24] * 01@Jennifer screams from the pain now. "N-No..."
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> If you don't, I will kill you
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens another one
[22:25] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves through that one now
[22:25] <01@Kane> 6* Cole teleports them again.
06[22:25] * 01@Kane comes running into the arena, holding his pistol up.
06[22:25] * 01@Jennifer whimpers and closes her eyes, slowly lifting her device close to her mouth. "Ch-Cheryl..."
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* JOhn is at the building
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops, holding up a hand to Cole. "What is it, Jen?"
[22:25] <01@Kane> 6* Cole takes this time to take a swig of some spirits.
01[22:25] <01@Jennifer> "S-Some... spear... h-he said he'd kill me..."
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? Who?
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar VOice> Tell her to stop running and let herself be caught.
06[22:26] * 01@Jennifer tries to look at whoever it is.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The figure jerks the spear roughly when he moves her face
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a third one
[22:26] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps through that one
06[22:26] * 01@Jennifer cries out in pain loudly. She whimpers. "D-Dunno... he says..."
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> Tell her now.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> You have 3 seconds
01[22:26] <01@Jennifer> "H-He says get caught..."
[22:27] <01@Kane> 6* Kane moves towards the building, he pauses and squints at the figure, pulling the rifle off of his shoulder, kneeling and taking aim.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grimaces, then lowers her hand. She eyes Alternate Dias in the distance
[22:27] <01@Kane> 6* Cole glances at Cheryl. 1That's stupid. Don't do that.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* X and the others arrive at the arena
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Someone has Jen
[22:27] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks at X. 1"Can you open a ripple to the control room?"
[22:27] <01@Kane> <Cole> Someone always will. She's the weakest member of your team.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well, she's my concern
06[22:28] * 01@Jennifer whimpers, shaking from the pain.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <X> I can try.
[22:28] <01Dias`> 6Dias nods and begins gathering dark energy into both his hands
[22:28] <01@Kane> 6* Cole smiles and nods slightly. 1Let's just take you to her?
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And risk her life? No
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple
[22:28] <01@Kane> <Cole> Alright.
01[22:28] <01@Jennifer> "I-I did it... t-told her..." *she sounds like she's berating herself*
[22:28] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves through it quickly
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> Good girl.
[22:29] <01@Kane> 6* Kane readies a shot, then lets it charge as he waits, watching the situation.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man Kane would see is in all black, wearing sunglasses. He does look familiar
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dias would see John smashes consoles with his fist
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You might as well go, Cole. No sense in getting caught
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias stops in front of COle and Cheryl
[22:29] <01Dias`> <Dias> John move.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* John motions for him to fire
06[22:30] * 01@Jennifer sniffles, shaking, she closes her eyes. "Wh-Who are you...? What do you want with us..."
[22:30] <01@Kane> 6* Cole glances to Cheryl, then alt Dias.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> I just want Cheryl. The rest of you are of no concern
[22:30] <01Dias`> 6Dias thrusts both hands forward, firing two beams out and then swings his arms out to drag the beams out across as much as he can
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6 John goes low, shifting to roll under them.
01[22:30] <01@Jennifer> "Y-You took him... didn't you... it was you..."
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> Perhaps I did
[22:30] <01@Kane> 6* Kane aims for the man's back, not firing since he could easily put Jen in the way.
01[22:31] <01@Jennifer> "You took Ben... you're the one who ordered Dias..."
[22:31] <01@Kane> 6* Cole lets out a breath and teleports away.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias reaches for Cheryl
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The control room begins to explode
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <John> I think that did it
[22:32] <01@Kane> 6* Kane hopes the explosion will distract the man long enough.
[22:32] <01Dias`> 6Dias taps his comm. 1"LEMON TRY NOW!"
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man peers at the building
01[22:32] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Here that bang Lemon? It's our curtain call luv."
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon begins to synch them.
[22:32] <01@Kane> 6* Kane fires for man's leg.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The blast hits a barrier
[22:32] <01@Kane> <Kane> Tch. Of course.
04[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man twists and slings Jennifer off the spear
[22:33] <01Dias`> 6Dias steps back through the portal if it's still open
06[22:33] * 01@Jennifer whimpers, and cries out, crashing to the ground roughly.
[22:33] <01@Kane> 6* Kane frowns and moves towards her, keeping an eye on the man.
[22:33] <01Kit> 6Chii presses the edge of a sword to the back of the man with the spear. 1"Good move, now I don't feel quite as homocidal>"
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii's sword his a barrier
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* PHaeton eyes Chii
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Phaeton> Ah. The whore that is with Cheryl.
[22:34] <01Kit> <Chii> Gh. You... What the hell!?
[22:34] <01Dias`> 6Dias drops to a knee, breathing heavily now.
[22:34] <01Kit> <Chii> I stomped on your pansy ass.
06[22:34] * 01@Jennifer looks up at him, pulling herself up slowly. "Y-You..."
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Phaeton twists to aim the spear at Chii, it glowing red from the blood on it.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Phaeton> Wrong reality, different me. Goodbye, whore.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* He goes to fire it when they suddenly are all teleported to a grassy field
06[22:34] * 01@Jennifer backs away slowly, she pulls up her device. "Cheryl... RUN!"
04[22:35] <01@Kane> 6* Kane pauses and peers around, before moving on over to Jennifer.
06[22:35] * 01@Jennifer blinks, looking around, she shivers and falls back over, bleeding badly.
04[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks, then moves over to Jennifer. The wound looks almost cursed
04[22:35] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> J-Jennifer?
01[22:35] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks around and frowns as he sees the girl fall over.
[22:35] <01@Kane> <Kane> This isn't a normal wound. 6He takes her pouch, trying to treat it.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks about for Dias
[22:36] <01Dias`> 6Dias kneels there, breathing heavily.
06[22:36] * 01@Jennifer breathes shallow, eyes half closed as she lays there in pain.
[22:36] <01@Kane> 6* Cole peers around for Cheryl.
[22:36] <01Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She stares, her eyes wide-eyed, then shakes her head.
[22:36] <01Kit> <Chii> Heh, like the lance of longinus.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl comes walking up, bruises on her neck
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She okay?
01[22:37] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Doesn't look alright..."
[22:37] <01@Kane> <Kane> I can only dress the wound. But it seems...different.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels to eye Jen
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gives Jen pain medicine and nanites
[22:38] <01@Kane> 6* Cole moves over to peer down at her
01[22:38] <01@Jennifer> * In the distance they can see a large city, it looks sort of like Mega City only strangely clean, near the edge of the city are large Mecha, as through standing on guard.
[22:39] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Want me to have Undine look at it?
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* X sits by Dias
06[22:39] * 01@Jennifer opens her eyes weakly, "I-It hurts bad..."
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I know. Just rest up
[22:39] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks over at X. 1"Where's Lil and Key?"
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks like she might cry
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* X points in their direction
[22:39] <01Kit> 6Lilith waves slightly, holding Key.
06[22:40] * 01Dias` nods to X and shifts back to sit on his ass now.
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gives Jen enough to knock her out for now
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets head to the city
[22:41] <01@Kane> 6* Kane frowns, then eyes the city. 1Are you sure that is such a good idea?
[22:41] <01Kit> <Chii> Well, if I'm going to have Undine look at it, we might wait on that.
01[22:41] <01@Jennifer> * The fields aren't too wide and endless, a highway can be seen in one direction, foothills leading to mountains in the other.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You already summoned something minutes ago. Is it wise to do it again so soon?
[22:41] <01@Kane> 6* Kane kneels to lift Jen up after she's been knocked out.
01[22:42] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron peers over the wound and frowns. "I'd rather you all explored options on healing that before I tried anything."
06[22:42] * 01@Jennifer is out cold.
04[22:42] <01Kit> <Chii> It's not like she'll be fighting. She could tell us what the hell's wrong with Jennifer.
[22:42] <01@Kane> Of course. 6He notes.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your call
[22:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Cheryl, it was your old boyfriend-- with a weapon out of this world.
[22:42] <01Dias`> <Dias> We probably shouldn't stay here.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii. "My old boyfriend...?"
[22:43] <01Kit> <Chii> Phaeton. An alternate of that guy I stepped on.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ..... 6* Her face twitches once and she flexes her fingers more.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just do whatever to help her. 6* She rises and moves off to rub her face
[22:43] <01@Kane> 6* Cole just eyes them all, taking a swig from a flask.
[22:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks at X. 1"Where are the others?"
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She points at everyone right over there
01[22:45] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron pulls out his glasses and puts them on, looking over Jennifer.
[22:45] <01Dias`> 6Dias rubs the side of his head. 1"Looks like I won't be sleeping tonight."
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> <X> Why?
[22:46] <01Dias`> <Dias> Probably have a concussion after trying to head butt Dias.
06[22:46] * 01@Kane motions for Chii to do her thing.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> <X> I see. 6* She eyes his head, then takes Lemon's needles and gives Dias a shot
[22:46] <01Dias`> <Dias> OW!
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> <X> There
[22:47] <01Kit> 6Chii rubs her face, then holds up her left hand, the opposite from earlier. 1"Come forth, divine seer of the clairvoyance seas. Unyielding mercy... Undine!" 6She brings the hand up, forming another runic gate, stepping aside as it opens to a vision of unending true blue and wavering water.
[22:47] <01Dias`> 6Dias makes a face as he rubs the spot she injected him at
[22:48] <01@Kane> 6* Cole watches, taking another swig.
[22:48] <01Kit> 6Chii peers over, making room for a woman no larger than herself, really, but of a Myria-like complexion and deep amethyst hair that flows like the water that makes up her clothing and accessories, holding a sword of the very stuff.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at the gate, then sticks her head into it
04[22:49] <01@Kane> 6* Kane places Jennifer on the ground and steps back.
[22:49] <01Kit> <Chii> Lemon! Quit that.
[22:49] <01Dias`> 6Dias frowns slightly and shifts, laying his head on X's lap
06[22:49] * 01@Jennifer mumbles in her sleep.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon obeys, sulking
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes him.
01[22:49] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron watches Undine now through his glasses.
04[22:49] <01Kit> <Chii> Undine, you mind taking a look at Jennifer here? She's the shortie with the fake hand. I think she's been poisoned somehow.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> She has a real hand now
[22:50] <01Kit> <Chii> I-- ...damn it! I've been gone, okay!?
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> S-Sorry....
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hangs her head
[22:50] <01@Kane> 6* Kane eyes Chii with disdain.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wound has been infected with what appears to be a curse unlike anything else. It'll take a lot of energy to fix it completely
01[22:50] <01@Jennifer> * In the distance two cars race past the Mecha at the city's edge and they race along the highway that passes them.
[22:51] <01@Kane> <Cole> That blue chick is nice to look at. 6He notes, pocketing the flask.
[22:51] <01Kit> 6Undine moves her mouth to say something-- though no one'd hear anything. Chii jerks. 1"What?!"
[22:52] <01Kit> <Chii> Can you fix it?
06[22:53] * 01@Kane rubs his face, then moves to walk in the direction that Cheryl went.
01[22:53] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns and takes a seat in the grass, he pulls a few blades that are soaked in Jenn's blood and peers at them.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands off to the side, staring at nothing
[22:53] <01Kit> 6Undine says something else, then shrugs, smiling.
[22:53] <01Kit> <Chii> Oh hah hah hah.
[22:54] <01Dias`> <Dias> Sorry I lost, X.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <X> YOu didn't lose.
[22:54] <01Kit> <Chii> No, I'm not getting another one of Celsius' Tears.
[22:54] <01Kit> 6Chii scowls at Undine's remark, then waves a hand. 1"Fine, fine."
06[22:54] * 01@Kane steps up beside her, crossing his arms.
[22:55] <01Kit> 6Chii looks to the others and sighs. 1"Look, I think Undine can cure her, but it'd take a lot of energy."
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ...
[22:55] <01Dias`> <Dias> Sure feels like I did.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't glance at KAne or offer a snarky remark
01[22:55] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Any way we can help? Can't leave the lass like this."
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <X> You won your fights.
[22:55] <01@Kane> <Kane> I'm sorry that it's that man.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Yah.
01[22:56] <01@Jennifer> * The cars stop in the distance on the highway, the sun is starting to lower and their lights go on, the car hovers above the ground, they slowly turn towards the group. Still some distance away.
[22:56] <01Kit> <Chii> So maybe later. I want to see if Lemon can help with that when she and the crystals she's using have recovered. Until then, we need to keep an eye on Jen.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Jen worriedly
[22:56] <01Kit> 6Chii waves to Undine, who giggles silently, then blows a kiss and disappears into the water's realm, the gate closing.
[22:56] <01@Kane> <Kane> Now we know our enemy. We've only gained one step closer to ending this.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
[22:57] <01Dias`> <Dias> "Mr. X" walked off and I couldn't even hold my own against that alternate Dias.
06[22:57] * 01@Jennifer mumbles in her sleep, looking like she's having troubled dreams.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <X> We will beat him
[22:57] <01Kit> 6Chii rubs her hands, both gems burning hotly. She moves to sit, panting slightly.
[22:58] <01Dias`> <Dias> Of course.
[22:58] <01@Kane> <Kane> ...if you need someone to drink with. I will be crappy at it, but I would do so. 6He notes, then moves to stepback towards the group.
01[22:59] <01@Jennifer> * The cars grow near, it seems a teenager is driving one with an equally aged girl riding with him, the other driven by a man with dark hair and sunglasses. They wear clothing that seems futuristic even by core reality standards.
[23:00] <01@Kane> 6* Cole eyes them, looking ready for another fiught.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon keeps checking on Jen
01[23:01] <01@Jennifer> * The cars stop shortnear the group, the teenagers stay in their car but the man hops out, a tall man in clothing that speaks rugged living, his glasses hide his eyes entirely, a scar down one eye. He looks them over, crossing his arms.
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> -END-
03[23:02] * DeathStar changes topic to 'TAW 4: TEP (251-present) | TAW 4: PAX has ended (1-250) | Season 20 (Reflections): 7 of 20 complete | Overall Session #398 (948) | Episode Eight: You are Alpha, I Am Omega | 1 of 2 | Sessions occur T/Th at 8 EST | Please visit our sister RPG #Erevis |'
01[23:26] <01@Jennifer> 2
01[23:26] <01@Jennifer> 1
01[23:26] <01@Jennifer> -0-
01[23:27] <01@Jennifer> * The tall one stares them over from behind his sunglasses. As though sizing them up. "Who're all you? You look messed up."
[23:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is quiet, hiding behind Kane
[23:27] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> Just travelers.
[23:28] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers over at the new person.
01[23:28] <01@Jennifer> Man> "From where? You from Jovia?"
[23:29] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> Are you enemies with Jovia?
01[23:30] <01@Jennifer> * The man crosses his arms, he carries himself like a soldier, crossed scars all down his arms. "If you were from there you wouldn't have asked... too obvious. Alright, nothing to worry about Sis." *he calls back to the other car*
[23:30] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Kane seems amused at himself.
[23:31] <01@Xan|Gone> <Cole> Uh. Could we get a place to stay? We've got some wounded.
01[23:31] <01@Jennifer> * The girl hops out of her car, the boy moving out to join them, the boy is wearing casual clothes, the girl is wearing an awfully nice outfit with a stylized hairpiece, her hair is blonde and short cut, a single blue streak of color in it, eyes a near white-blue, the boy has short brown hair and green eyes, tan skin.
[23:32] <01Dias`> 6Dias sits up off X's lap, studying the new people now.
[23:32] <01@DeathStar> <X> ...
01[23:32] <01@Jennifer> * The girl looks them over, peering at Cheryl, then Lemon for a long moment, looking at her right through Kane. She smiles pleasently. "Well, it seems we were confused... wounded you say?"
[23:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is out of sight
01[23:32] <01@Jennifer> * In her direction, at any rate.
[23:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon keeps hiding behind Kane, protecting Jen
[23:33] <01@Xan|Gone> <Cole> Yeah you know. Dying and stuff.
01[23:34] <01@Jennifer> Girl> "Can I see the wounded?" *she looks back at the boy* "Kaze, please call an ambulance."
[23:34] <01Dias`> 6Dias grimaces and he pushes himself up to stand now.
01[23:34] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze takes out a cell phone and calls, turning away, the tall man stands up, moving a bit closer to the girl, like a bodyguard.
[23:35] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> We would like to deal with this on our own. If you could just give us a place to rest, even if it's a shack, it would be appreciated.
[23:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias with a frown
[23:36] <01Kit> <Chii> In other words, cancel the call.
01[23:36] <01@Jennifer> Girl> "Nonsense, you are visitors to Ares, we will have you sent to a hospital. I am quite good at healing wounds however, if you wish for my help."
[23:36] <01Kit> 6Chii draws both guns in an instant, one aimed at either. 1"Cancel the call."
[23:36] <01@DeathStar> <X> .... oh great, here we go
[23:36] <01Dias`> <Dias> Lower your guns Chii.
01[23:37] <01@Jennifer> Guy> "No need to get all tense, we see you're not a threat. Whatever happened you can keep it to yourselves." *he eyes Chii, looking a little amused*
[23:37] <01Kit> <Chii> Fuck you. You call an ambulance we're on records, half the goddamn galaxy shows up.
[23:37] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Kane eyes Chii.
[23:37] <01@DeathStar> <X> .... 6* She motions at Lilith to knock Chii out with her abilities
[23:37] <01Dias`> 6Dias clenches his left fist now
[23:38] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> You're overreacting Chii.
[23:38] <01Kit> 6Chii twitches some. 1"I don't have the energy for another showdown with alternatard right now. Just cancel the call and I'll put the guns away."
01[23:38] <01@Jennifer> Girl> "...I believe you may be confused. The only people who would care at all are the Mars Military."
[23:38] <01Dias`> Chii here reads too many sci fi books.
[23:39] <01Kit> <Chii> Hospitals even in our time are public and open books to local authority of any kind.
01[23:39] <01@Jennifer> Guy> "...Gabby, you don't need to talk her down or be so polite."
[23:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hugs Chii from behind. "Please calm down. We do not want them angry with us."
01[23:39] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron's eyes lock on the girl.
[23:40] <01Kit> 6Chii quirks at the name. 1"...Huh, urge to kill risi--urk!" 6She pauses a moment, then starts to faceplant, dropping her guns. Lilith poises with her sword in an iaido stance, having struck her with the flat of the blade.
[23:40] <01@Xan|Gone> <Cole> I just need more alcohol. 6He holds the flask upside down, shaking it with a frown.
[23:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks horrorfied
01[23:40] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "It is alright Mykel. They are just scared at whatever has harmed them. Oh my..."
[23:40] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> We're sorry about her. But like I said, we would rather deal with the injuries on our own.
[23:41] <01Dias`> <Dias> If you can give us a rise to a place to stay at we'd be happy with just that.
[23:41] <01Dias`> NRP: ride
[23:41] <01Kit> <Key> ...Want crab!!" 6She starts bawling in the background.
[23:41] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> If they're out of our range, then we may ask of your help, but until then, we need not bother you.
01[23:41] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "Very well..." *she looks back at the convertables* "...Kaze, please ask the Commander to send a shuttle instead, the cars are too small for this group."
[23:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rocks Chii now, rbubing Chii's head
01[23:42] <01@Jennifer> * Mykel eyes her, looking a bit annoyed now despite his sunglasses blocking his eyes.
[23:42] <01Dias`> 6Dias relaxes his left hand. He nods to Kane
01[23:43] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "You can stay at our safehouse. The Commander is interested in meeting you." *she blinks, how she got a message is hard to tell*
[23:43] <01Dias`> <Dias> A hotel is good enough.
[23:44] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> Unofortunately. We're not interested in meeting your commander.
04[23:44] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Kane turns and kneels to lift up Jennifer now that Lemon is tending to Chii.
[23:44] <01Kit> <Lilith> Huh. I knocked out Chii and already her suspicions are becoming true.
[23:44] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> As Dias said. A hotel would be more than enough.
01[23:44] <01@Jennifer> Mykel> "Oh great. Look, you've got it wrong."
01[23:45] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "Please, Mykel, the Commander..."
[23:45] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> No. You have it wrong. We're not interested in anything to do with this place. We're just passing through.
[23:45] <01Kit> 6Lilith stares at Mykel. 1"There is no need to convince me of anything. I do as my master asks."
01[23:45] <01@Jennifer> Mykel> "Quit the military 4 years ago, she's not a commander."
[23:45] <01Dias`> <Dias> Doesn't change anything.
01[23:45] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby goes red. "I-I see... well... we can get you a hotel room... I think."
01[23:46] <01@Jennifer> Mykel> "Does Ares have hotels?"
01[23:46] <01@Jennifer> Kaze> "...We have inns."
[23:46] <01Kit> 6Chii twitches and starts to rouse. 1"...F-Fuck, my head.."
[23:46] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Kane bows his head. 1Thanks you.
[23:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Chii, her hand poised to give Lilith a follow up signal if she has to
[23:46] <01@Xan|Gone> NRP: -s
[23:46] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Are you okay, Mistress?
01[23:47] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby looks at Kaze, they stare at each other a moment and Kaze nods. He grabs his cell again and gives a call.
[23:47] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Cole sticks his fingers down into the flask and then pulls it out, rubbing the finger against his teeth.
[23:47] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Gh... G-God damn...
[23:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over finally, kneeling by Chii to check her over
[23:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gives Chii a shot as well
[23:48] <01Kit> 6Chii whirls her head, snarling at Lilith. 1"YOU FUCKING MUTT! THAT HUR-- gah..!" 6She eyes Lemon.
[23:48] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I gave yo uap ain killer.
01[23:48] <01@Jennifer> Mykel> "Sorry for makin you folks jumpy, you don't seem local, so you might not understand how our cities wor---" *he stops and looks at Cheryl*
[23:48] <01Dias`> 6Dias rubs the side of his face.
[23:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You got this handled, KAne?
[23:49] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> Of course.
01[23:49] <01@Jennifer> * Mykel looks to Gabby, they look at each other as though holding a silent arguement, he rubs his head and looks away.
[23:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, looking Chii over, then finally eyes the people.
[23:49] <01Kit> <Lilith> My apologies." 6She bows to Chii.
[23:49] <01Kit> <Chii> ...
01[23:50] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "Transport will be here shortly. Kaze knows of a nice little inn near the shore."
[23:50] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good.
[23:50] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> We will be out of your hair in no time.
[23:50] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances at Cheryl. 1"Think it's even safe to stay here long considering what happened the first time?"
[23:50] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
[23:50] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll stay long enough for Jen to heal
01[23:51] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "We are not worried by your presence, however the Com---" *she eyes Mykel* "---My mother would like to meet one of you so she can be reassured you are safe visitors."
[23:51] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
01[23:51] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks down and sighs.
[23:51] <01Dias`> 6Dias nods to Cheryl then focuses back on the three again
01[23:53] <01@Jennifer> * A shuttle slowly lands nearby. A girl about 19 years of age with dark hair and blue eyes steps down the ramp, she wears a jumpsuit. "Someone order a shuttle?"
[23:53] <01Kit> <Chii> We keep to ourselves. So keep away from us.
[23:53] <01Kit> <Chii> You want proof? Tell them, Lily.
[23:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the shuttle, then at Kane. "I'd rather not get on their transport."
[23:53] <01Kit> <Lilith> ... ...We will not bother others unless we must." 6She bows to the new people.
[23:54] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> Then we can walk. 6He nods.
[23:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the city in the distance, then nods back
01[23:54] <01@Jennifer> Mykel> *frowns behind his shades, oddly wearing them as it grows even darker and looks at them* "You're going to walk 5 miles injured?"
[23:54] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
[23:54] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> Only one is injured. I can carry her.
[23:54] <01Kit> <Chii> I've done worse." 6She sniffs.
[23:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon lifts Chii up despite her new size
01[23:55] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "...Samantha, please get off the shuttle. We will loan them the transport."
[23:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias. "Should I carry you?"
01[23:55] <01@Jennifer> * The girl hops off the ramp.
[23:55] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers over at X, a confused look on his face. 1"Are you being serious?"
[23:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Gabby, then the shuttle
[23:55] <01@DeathStar> <X> You are weak after all from your ehad injury.
01[23:55] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "We know where you are heading at any rate. You are free to use the shuttle."
[23:55] <01@Xan|Gone> <Kane> Either way. They'll know where we're staying. 6He notes to Cheryl.
[23:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nods, moving to the shuttle
[23:56] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Cole moves and hops onto the shuttle, peering around quickly.
[23:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon carries Chii onto it
04[23:56] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Kane moves to walk up the ramp with Jennifer.
[23:56] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm good, thanks. 6He sniffles, trying to save what little pride he feels he has left. He moves for the shuttle and gets on it
[23:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* X follows, amused
[23:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eeys the controls for anything suspicious
01[23:57] <01@Jennifer> * Mykel and Samantha hop into one car, Gabby moves into another, Kaze eyeing those heading to the shuttle.
[23:57] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves to take the pilots seat or co-pilots seat whatevers available
01[23:57] <01@Jennifer> * It's a fairly simple control setup, there's even a sort of directory to input destinations. The logos inside the shuttle are of a red planet.
01[23:58] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron gets abord, looking sullen.
[23:58] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Kane places Jen in a seat, then sits down beside her.
[23:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits in an inn
06[23:58] * 01@Jennifer mumbles a little more in her sleep, sweating a bit, clearly having a nightmare.
01[23:59] <01@Jennifer> * The shuttle starts up again and the ramp closes, it eases into the air and takes them along comforterably.
[23:59] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Cole searches the shuttle for supplies.
[23:59] <01Dias`> 6Dias' slumps his shoulders more. 1"Can't even fly..." 6He sighs and leans back in his seat
02[00:00] * Day changed to Wednesday, March 25th 2009.
Session Time: Wed Mar 25 00:00:00 2009
[00:00] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Kane tilts his head back and closes his eyes.
01[00:00] <01@Jennifer> * The shuttle has standard emergency supplies, it's large and comforterable, but the contents not too far off from a usual military shuttle.
[00:00] <01@Xan|Gone> 6* Cole seems bored and finds a seat to take a nap in.
01[00:02] <01@Jennifer> * The shuttles comm turns on and Gabby's voice pipes up. "While in the city people are required to carry IDs, normally we have a process for registration but I have pulled strings, you will be given the IDs when you arrive at the Inn. Please use them, complications occur if people do not have them on when walking about."
[00:03] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances over at Cheryl. 1"So we..." 6He pauses as Gabby's voice appears
[00:03] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then we don't walk about
01[00:04] <01@Jennifer> * The comms then shuts off, indicating there's no communication either way.
01[00:05] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "...I have a feeling these folk are at war. Evaluating threats, papers to identify, sounds like how we weeded out spies in mt reality."
[00:05] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then we don't stay long
[00:05] <01Dias`> <Dias> Agreed. It's better if we don't get ourselves dragged into anything.
01[00:05] <01@Jennifer> * THe shuttle comes in for a landing near a house that appears set up like a vacationers inn.
[00:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets everyone off and into their rooms
01[00:06] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> Good point, we've had enough trouble.
[00:07] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers at his/X/Lil/Keys room.
