[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.7.21
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Location: Chad's Shack
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The lights are dark, and Chad Winters would awaken with a slight aheadache. But that's not what his keen mind would sense wrong, but the fact there's extra weight on his bed
06[20:02] * 01Chad`Winters 's hand moves to his head, rubbing it, then pausing as he senses the extra weight. He opens his eyes, letting them adjust as he looks around for it
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be someone in the bed next to him
06[20:03] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his face and he reaches over to his night stand to turn the light on.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* The person stirs next to him and sits up, a mass of dark hair. Zephyr brushes her hair back, peering about. She looks to be about 23.
06[20:04] * 01Chad`Winters eyes go wide and he shifts, falling out of his bed in surprise. 1"What the..."
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr peers at him, squinting. "Are you okay, Chad?" 6* He'd feel her confusion in his mind. There appears to be a bond present
06[20:05] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his face. 1"No...I'm..what are you doing here?"
[20:06] <01Chad`Winters> And why are you...6He motions at her.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares at him, looking worried. "I sleep here."
06[20:07] * 01Chad`Winters lowers his hand now, clearly confused, he goes to say something but nothing comes out as he tries to process everything.
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are you okay? 6* She peers at him, then up. "CHIP, could you let Caduceus know to come down here?"
[20:08] <01Chad`Winters> I think I'm fine, are you fine? You're older and in my bed. 6He sits there on the floor.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm the same age I always am, and your mind is buzzing like you just ran into something you can't figure out. 6* She notes, eyeing him worriedly. She climbs out of the bed, apparantly naked and moves to Chad's closet, opening it to get her robe
06[20:10] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his forehead, his eyes watching her. 1"How did you..." He shakes his head. 1"We're bonded?"
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps staring at him, more concerned. She grabs the robe and slides it on. "Please, CHIP, tell Caduceus it's an emergency."
06[20:11] * 01Chad`Winters looks down to see if he's naked
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* He could take an eye out
06[20:11] * 01Chad`Winters quickly grabs onto his blanket and pulls it off the bed, pulling it over waist. 1"Something's wrong."
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers, then grabs her comm, calling up, if Chad peers over, would be Megumi/Erevis' zone. Though apparantly she's comming someone who's name is Ariel
06[20:12] * 01Chad`Winters wraps the blanket around his waist as he stands up. 1"I need some air." 6He starts moving to his porch.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6 Zephyr watches him go. Outside, Chad would see the familiar beach he lives on
06[20:13] * 01Ariel answers the comm, half asleep, "...yes?"
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, Mom. Chad's... acting weird. 6* She begins to describe what happened. "I had Cad on his way down, but maybe you should check security logs for the past few hours, just to be safe."
06[20:14] * 01Chad`Winters grabs onto the railing of his porch as he stares out at his zone. He breaths deeply. 1"What the hell's going on?"
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus steps off a teleporter pad, moving over with his datapad, looking annoyed as if missing something infinitely more interesting
[20:15] <01Ariel> "It's... you know what time it is, right? How much weirder than normal is he being?"
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not every day the man you're married to look at you and say you look too old, why you're in his bed...
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> *looks
06[20:15] * 01Chad`Winters eyes Cad now cautiously.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus moves over to eye Chad, then just begins to scan his brain
06[20:16] * 01Ariel holds her tongue. "...alright, I'll check the logs."
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thank you. 6* She clicks off, then moves to step outside.
[20:16] <01Chad`Winters> What day is it?
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Another day of you being a pain in my ass.
06[20:17] * 01Chad`Winters grunts and he closes his eyes again as he runs through everything that happened the night before
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over, giving Chad his space, hands behind her. She frowns in concern, watching. Caduceus eyes the readings
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Lets go to the medical bay. You have some tension up there. CHIP, let the Captain and her wife know that Chad won't be doing engineering work on time.
06[20:18] * 01Ariel goes to checck the records, figuring Chad is just being weird again.
06[20:18] * 01Chad`Winters eyes Cad at that. 1"Wife?" 6He eyes Zephyr now
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Erevis and Megumi. Have you forgotten them, too?
06[20:19] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his face again. 1"No."
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr peers at Chad; he might notice a ring on her finger
06[20:19] * 01Chad`Winters pauses, his hand lowering slightly as he eyes the ring.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus nods, then moves off to the pad.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Come along then.
06[20:20] * 01Chad`Winters moves after Cad now, confusion on his face still and in the bond
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> Location: House of Meows
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Working in a rather large kitchen, where Ariel would have her computer set up for on site work. In the background, Erevis works on making breakfast, while Darien is in his office in the side house
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr paces the kitchen, wearing a white shirt and jeans. "He totally has no clue what I am. I can feel it in the bond. And most of his mind is closed to me."
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena sits at the table, her head turning back and forth to watch Zephyr
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek has his head on the table, he mumbles. 1Maybe it's his mid-life crsis?
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao sits by Drasek, wearing skimpy little. "Maybe he wants a better Alpha model."
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks to a stop, eyeing Ao slowly.
06[20:23] * 01Ariel works away on her terminal, "He does tend to overwork himself sometimes." She sighs, not expecting to find anything.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Ao, please do not tease Ariel's daughter. 6* She chimes in, going back to making eggs
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek snorts, lifting his head up. 1Don't know of many that'd suit his style, love. 6He notes with a shurg.
[20:24] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Why not? It could be true given his pragmatic personality.
[20:24] <01@Kit> 6Megumi peers in the doorway, a traditional wooden sword over her shoulder.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi now, not bothering to hide her dislike.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Maybe he wants a blonde. Megumi's assistant is cute.
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Now now. The bloke's been nothing but faithful to Zeph here. Don't go talking bout folks if they're not around. Do it to their face.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives Drasek a smile, then peers at Ariel, who would find nothing unusual, except perhaps how hard at night Chad is
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans over to kiss Megumi's cheek. "Hello, Kitten."
[20:26] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Morning, beloved. Sorry, Zeph. You're easy to tease.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis steps in behind Megumi, looking winded herself. "Maybe he has a virus in his mind? Mr. Caduceus will fix that. He has had personality problems in the past ,right?"
06[20:27] * 01Ariel sighs, and leans back. "Well... no signs of tampering, chemical attacks, psychic interference, alien invasion, or conspiracy theorists."
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps in with his coffee, sipping it. "It's probably just life on this ship getting to him."
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Don't see the problem. It's ruddy fantastic.
[20:28] <01@Kit> <Megumi> I don't mind it.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We all know Chad loves his South America.
[20:28] <01@Kit> 6Megumi smirks slightly. 1"Hope he gets over it, Zeph is probably just fine as long as she wakes up on top of him."
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Maybe you could try getting a dark tan, bit. 6He tells Zephyr.
[20:29] <01Ariel> "Chad? Shackwhacky? I could NEVER picture that."
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a face. "Don't talk like that in front of your kids."
[20:29] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Why not..? It's natural if you love one another.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... it's hard to be on top of him anyway. Considering his...
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just shakes her head, taking a seat
[20:29] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Oh, right. You might get internal injuries. Don't worry. I'll fix you if you do.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Gee, thanks
[20:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances to Ao and gives her a smile before laying his head down on the table again.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao pats Drasek's arm. "At least you don't have to overcompensate."
06[20:30] * 01Ariel sighs.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Ariel, amused, sitting down
[20:30] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Thanks, love. 6He mumbles, the creases on the side of his face would show he's smiling.
[20:31] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Feel left out, Ariel? You're always free to join beloved and I.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets down various plates, then moves over to hug onto Megumi from behind, kissing at her neck there.
[20:31] <01Ariel> "You know, there's some things we just don't need to hear about."
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> That'll thrill Darien. 6* She otes
[20:31] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Mm, but I'd love to hear you. At night, that is.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis sits down, red faced at all the talking
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Think I should go down to medical bay, or give him time?
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Megumi, then at Ariel, keeping a poker face.
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits up and begins to eat, apparently used to Megumi.
[20:33] <01@Kit> 6Megumi blinks at Darien. 1"What? You're welcome, too. Jeez."
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Best news of the days. 6* He notes with a smile, taking the grits and eggs when given them.
[20:33] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Just don't try poking me. I'd hate to have a falling out with Ariel over castrating you.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr drums her fingers at Megumi, then looks at Ariel
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think I'll go to medical bay now. 6* She gets up to go.
06[20:34] * 01Ariel shakes her head a little, "I'm not sure... I guess talking to him wouldn't hurt."
[20:35] <01@Kit> <Megumi> He's always been a ball of stress. Maybe it just finally caught up?
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a seat, pulling Megumi onto her lap, apparantly going t ofeed her
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe. 6* She moves to step out
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Good luck, Zeph. 6He calls out with a mouth full of food.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I never saw how those two got together
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Maybe like you an me?
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien eats his eggs, peering at Ariel, then leans over. "As long as I don't poke her, it's okay." 6* He notes with a smile
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Drasek. "They desired to bring back a dead race and found they had much in common?"
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...oh. Well. No. 6He coughs and goes back to eating.
06[20:38] * 01Ariel gets her breakfast, and a refill of coffee. "So what's the pool at... midlife crisis?"
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> He's kind of young, but then, he is Chad
[20:39] <01Ariel> "Maybe they made him with a shortened lifespan?"
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Hm.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> Location: Medical Bay
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus runs scans on Chad, humming an obnoxious jingle.
06[20:40] * 01Chad`Winters lays there, his hand against his forehead. 1"You find anything yet?"
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Just some tension in your brain, like it's having stimilis it's not used to - it shouldn't be a problem for much longer.
06[20:41] * 01Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose. 1"Alternate reality...."
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Alternate reality?
[20:42] <01Chad`Winters> I'm trying to come up with an explanation to explain this.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Alright, explain to me what happened, and I'll see if I can collorate your take
[20:43] <01Chad`Winters> Yesterday I went through the day like I've been doing all week. Nothing appeared out of the normal. I went to bed alone and clothed like normal. Next thing I know, I wake up with a slight headache and Zephyr in my bed, naked and in her mid 20's.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> And a normal that isn't the case
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> *Day
[20:44] <01Chad`Winters> No it's not. Something had to happen to me from the time I went to bed to when I woke back up.
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I'll scan your reality signature, then. Hold on. 6* As he speaks, an older Alexander Cran steps off the teleporter. General Cran. He moves over to stand by Chad
06[20:45] * 01Chad`Winters lowers his hand as he hears someone come up , then he tenses, shifting back slightly, his eyes narrowing. 1"Now I know this isn't right."
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus pauses, eyeing the two, then the stress readings. Cran stops. <Cran> What isn't right?
[20:46] <01Chad`Winters> You, you died. Killed off by a clone that was better than you.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <Cran> .... 6* He eyes Caduceus oddly now
06[20:47] * 01Chad`Winters shifts off the bed, his eyes darting at Cad for his reaction then locking back onto Cran.
[20:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus appears on the teleporter holding a bag, he moves forward. 1Hey Cad. Got that breakfast you ordered.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus just seems to be staring, but then speaks. <Caduceus> Chad isn't feeling well, General. Perhaps you should return to your zone. I'll inform you when he's ready for visitors.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus motions to a spot by this scanner. "Only 20 minutes late. Wonderful."
06[20:48] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"If this is Freyja's idea of a joke..."
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cran eyes Caduceus. "Is that fox mage doing things to people again? Erevis said she had reformed."
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh. What's going on?
01[20:49] <01@Angela> * Angela appears on the teleporter, nursing her hand. Her hair still long, and lacking the lost look on her face. "I hurt my hand..."
04[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I'll be sure to scan for fox. Now go. Marcus, tend to her. 6* He motions at Angela
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cran sighs, then eyes Chad, thinks better of saying something, then moves off
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Just wrap it up Sam, jesus.6He sets down Cad's food.
[20:51] <01Chad`Winters> Doens't fit...6He leans against the bed. 1"Then what..."
01[20:51] <01@Angela> Samantha> "I think I broke something though." *she pouts at Marcus*
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus taps a comm. "Freyja, have you noticed anything unusual in your realm of specialities?"
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* As he talks, he tosses Chad a datapad
06[20:52] * 01Chad`Winters eyes the datapad, then Cad. He picks it up, looking at it.
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus frowns and motions Sam over to a machine.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* On it is written "God", probably Cad, and Chad. Their signatures are the same.
[20:53] <01@Kit> <Freyja> <c> What do you mean?
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Chad Winters says his world has been changed. I don't detect anything unusual. You deal with odd matters, don't you?
01[20:53] <01@Angela> * Samantha moves over to a machine, she peers over at Chad. "What happened to him? Is this why he's late?"
[20:53] <01@Kit> <Freyja> Um, I am a seer, if that's what you mean. I haven't sensed anything.
06[20:53] * 01Chad`Winters eyes the hand writing, then glacnes at Marcus. 1"Why are you helping here?"
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Very well. Well, if you have time, come look at his brain for me. 6* He clicks off. "Because I don't like her and he was a tool to be used."
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I guess all you engineering people are broken. 6He scans Sam's hand then glances to Chad. 1Cad just asked me too?
01[20:55] <01@Angela> * Samantha sighs and looks at Chad. "Sorry boss, I'm a bit clumsy you know."
06[20:55] * 01Chad`Winters sets the datapad down and he rubs the back of his neck. 1"You said something about stimilis. Explain it better to me."
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> My guess is that your brain isn't quite used to the bond, so the readings are stressed in correlating areas. But it's adusting quickly, since you were designed for them.
[20:57] <01Chad`Winters> Makes sense. 6He sits down now.
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Chad's brain is broken? Well that makes me feel safe. 6He shows Sam the scan for her hand.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I'm guessing it isn't a mid life crisis considering what you get to ride every night and wake up to.
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Mmm. Zephyr.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> You did break his nose for talking to Zephyr once. 6* He notes about Marcus, in case Chad would like to remember
01[20:58] <01@Angela> * Sam peers at it appraisingly. "Nope, nothing broken, just sprained. That's good. And don't make fun of Chad." *she frowns*
[20:58] <01Chad`Winters> That's the thing, I don't remember any of that.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Very well, from what you do remember, how alike are things?
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps into the medical bay, with a bag of food.
[21:00] <01Chad`Winters> Other than the ship. I'd say you and...Marcus somewhat.
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> You mean I'm always this awesome. Sweet.
[21:00] <01Chad`Winters> Marcus, tell me you're married to Katrina.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Well, at least we fit into his head somewhere, Marcus.
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Who else would I be married too? I mean Zephyr is hot, but Kat is smoking. 6He pauses and smiles. 1Hi Zephyr.
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Marcus, then moves to Chad, offering him the bag. "I made your favorites."
01[21:01] <01@Angela> * Samantha looks over at Chad and Zephyr, grinning a bit, she treats her hand and wraps it up.
06[21:02] * 01Chad`Winters studies Marucs, processing something. He looks at Zephyr nowm then the bag. 1"I don't think I'm hungry."
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then nods, peering away to set the bag down. In the bond, Chad can tell she's withholding, probably to make it easier on him
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> We need a full detail of what a typical day is like for you, and the people in it. Your reality signature is the same, but the fact is, unless we can tell more, right now you just come off as crazy
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Well. I've done my job. Good luck with being messed up in your head there. 6He gives Chad a thumbs up and turns to move off.
06[21:03] * 01Chad`Winters rubs the side of his face then takes the bag, opening it up
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Indeed, it's all food he likes normally, made how he likes it
01[21:03] <01@Angela> Samantha> "See you later Marcus."
[21:04] <01Chad`Winters> It's because I'm feeling crazy. 6He looks at Zephyr. 1"Thanks."
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright, Sam. 6He hits the button and dissappears.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr offers a smile. "Do you need more time alone?"
[21:05] <01Chad`Winters> I think it'd be for the best right now.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, awkwardly pauses, then moves off. Caduceus watches her go, then speaks. "I might have a suggestion."
01[21:05] <01@Angela> * Sam peers back over at Chad curiously.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus points at Sam, then the teleporter pad, not subtlely.
06[21:05] * 01Chad`Winters glances at Cad. 1"And that is?"
01[21:06] <01@Angela> * Sam pouts and scurries off to the teleport pad, dissappearing off to engineering.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Use my datapad. Go to the bar. Observe people and write down what doesn't feel right to you. Until I can find something medically relevant, we have to go off the assumption you're insane.
[21:07] <01Chad`Winters> I'll write out a typical day for you while I'm there.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> GOod. I'll see about getting Freyja to see you in the bar.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> Location: The Bar
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina cleans a bar counter, peering over at Chad from time to time curiously, probably picking up on things due to her empathatic nature.
06[21:08] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his temple as he sits there, a bottle of water infront of him and the datapad in his hand.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy sits across from Chad, then leans in to touch his hand, whispering. "Hello, lover."
[21:08] <01Ariel> 6* Phantasma sits outside the bar, working as a bouncer.
06[21:09] * 01Chad`Winters jerks, his hand pulling away from Billy's touch.
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus is in the back, explaing to his 4 girls how to cook a certain dish.
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* BIlly winks. "I like the whole idea to break up with Zephyr."
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* The twins stand about in the bar, serving people's needs
[21:09] <01Chad`Winters> I see you're still the same.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> OF course. Fufufu. So, want to come to my place tonight?
[21:10] <01@Kit> 6One of the Allighieri leans on the side of the counter, waiting to take drinks from Katrina while Marcus has all the others in back.
06[21:10] * 01Chad`Winters grunts, writing something down on his datapad
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy peers down at it
[21:11] <01Chad`Winters> 6It states how Billy's actually annoying him again.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Fufufu. 6* She peers at him seriously now, head propped up with her hands. "So tell me some things."
06[21:11] * 01Chad`Winters takes a deep breathe then lets out. 1"Like what?"
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Do you really think this is a different world than what you know? 6* She sounds serious now, studying him.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina hands a tray to the one nearest. The other one appears to be taking food orders
[21:12] <01Chad`Winters> Something's different, I'm just now sure the where.
[21:13] <01@Kit> 6Okay, so the twins' outfits are modern and conservative, the typical you'd find on earth, the only thing unique to them for the moment being headress-like hairbands with an arrangement of multi-coloured flowers, one set on the right, one set on the left, hair tied up in a bun leaving a rooster tail.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Paladin enters the bar, peering at Chad, studying him, then takes a seat
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Yet you can't tell what's different? 6* She squints at him. "You really do seem crazy."
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron appears on the teleporter pad and moves to sit down, wearing a security uniform.
[21:14] <01@Kit> 6One twin moves to Paladin, smiling charmingly and holding out a menu, leaving Theron to the other, a tray propped under an arm.
[21:14] <01Chad`Winters> I can see all sorts of differences. 6He motions at Phantasma.
[21:14] <01Ariel> 6* Phantasma eyes Chad from the door, as if he's a troublemaker
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Well, I have two theories.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> One is that if you just see a lot of tiny differences, like a robot at the door, then you're hiding from something and this is all in your head.
[21:15] <01Chad`Winters> Nervous breakdown or something subconcious.
[21:16] <01Chad`Winters> Which means I'm talking to myself. Cleary I'm not insane at all.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> If it's a new world, which Caduceus ruled out, but he's been wrong before, you'd think there was one different thing that altered everything else. After all, it's what the other team is encountering with their trips in the multiverse
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes the menu. "Thank you." 6* He eyes it, then picks chicken and rice
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* The other twin moves to Theron. "Hai?"
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> <Theron> Soup and Salah. Thank you. 6He bows his head slightly.
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> NRP: salad too*
[21:17] <01@Kit> 6The first nods, chiming softly. 1"Doumo." 6Taking the menu and nodding. 1"Drink?"
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> Beer.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second nods, then moves over to get it; she passes the first to give them a kiss on the cheek, moving on. Some of the Cartel people discuss the odds of how close they are
06[21:18] * 01Chad`Winters eyes the twins briefly, Paladin, and then Billy again. 1"If this is all in my head, then it's happening for a reason.
[21:18] <01@Kit> 6The twin nods and skips back to the counter, motioning for Katrina to acquire a beer and leaning into the back to slip on the ticket for chicken and rice.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Maybe. I can't detect anything, but it was fun to try to mess with your head. Ja ne. 6* She moves off to evil
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Chicken an Rice Comin up! 6He calls out, like he's in an old diner.
06[21:19] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue at that, his hand writing down the differences he notices as he watches everyone
[21:19] <01@Kit> 6The twin makes an O.K. sign, then makes room for the look-alike, grinning.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The other twin places their order out, then gets Theron water.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over to look at Chad. "Anything else you need?"
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron nods once again for a thank you, then begins to drink it quietly.
[21:20] <01Chad`Winters> Other then everything being back the way I remember?
[21:20] <01@Kit> 6The first moves to the counter to get the beer from Katrina, whisking it off to Paladin, then makes a round to the Cartel to assess refills and new orders, especially drinks.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Other than that. I'm curious - is this reality radically different in a bad way?
[21:22] <01Chad`Winters> No it's not.
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "Well, if you need someone to talk to, I'll listen."
[21:23] <01Chad`Winters> But that's the problem, so far you could say it's what I'd want.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> What do you mean?
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* The one twin hovers near the first ,adjusting their clothing, now that there's a brief lull
[21:24] <01Chad`Winters> Well some things I should say. Finding out I've been with Zephyr for awhile.
[21:24] <01@Kit> 6The first leans back, throwing an arm around her, smiling at the Cartel people. 1"Off-limits."
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina considers. "Really? The way you've avoided her, I figured it would be something you wouldn't like."
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Cartel people eye the two, then lean forward. "So how close are you two?"
[21:25] <01Chad`Winters> It's because we aren't that close.
[21:25] <01@Kit> 6The first peers at the second, blinking.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second looks at the first, blankly.
06[21:25] * 01Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"Atleast in my...in what I remember.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina thinks. "Sounds complicated, I guess."
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Mia and Mya come out with food to give to both Paladin and Theron respectively.
01[21:26] <01@Angela> * Samantha appears at the teleporter and walks over to the bar. Yawning a bit as she slumps over it.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Paladin begins to eat. Like a hungry black man with chicken
[21:26] <01Chad`Winters> It always has been for us.
[21:27] <01@Kit> 6The first grins, leaning in close to the second, as if going to kiss her, then shifts, pulling them away by the hand from the Cartel. 1"Customer." 6Is noted, moving toward Samantha and the counter, approaching on either side.
[21:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron eats quietly.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I guess what you have to do is follow your heart, if you can't fully trust your mind, and let it help guide you to the place you need to be
[21:27] <01@Kit> <Twin> Irrashai!
03[21:27] * Xanatos (jbobo@h33.240.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
03[21:27] * Xanatos (jbobo@h33.240.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[21:28] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
06[21:28] * 01Chad`Winters studies Kat for a moment, frowning slightly.
01[21:28] <01@Angela> Samantha> "Hey! Can I get a sandwich? Starrrrrving."
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Stepping into the bar, is an older looking Eve compared to the clone one - by a few years at least. She moves to the bar
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* The one twin just eyes Sam, then picks Eve to help
[21:28] <01@Kit> 6The first nods. 1"Drink?"
[21:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out, drying his hands. 1Why hello there Ms. Summers. Looking elegant as always.
06[21:28] * 01Chad`Winters looks over at Eve now, a slighty look of shock on it.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Thank you. 6* She offers Marcus a smile . "Megumi and I were getting hungry, so I thought I'd grab us lunch. Do you have anything light for us?"
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances over at Eve, then at Chad. "Eve Summers."
01[21:29] <01@Angela> * Samantha pouts and looks at the other twin.
[21:29] <01@Kit> 6The first frowns now, probably jealous that Sam is ignoring her for the other.
[21:30] <01Chad`Winters> Yeah, I know. She's Aya's mother. But she's...That'd be the age if she hadn't passed away.
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Well I just showed the Ms how to make broccoli and cheese soup. Not sure if that's light enough.
01[21:30] <01@Angela> * Samantha blinks and falls over. "Where's my head, sorry! Yes I'd love a drink."
[21:30] <01@Kit> 6She raises a hand, announcing to Marcus in a slight accent. 1"Double Bee. Eru. Tee. And... Sake!"
[21:30] <01@Kit> 6Then abandons Sam.
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus arches a brow and then glances to the other twin for clarification.
01[21:31] <01@Angela> Samantha> "H-Hey! I said I was sorry!"
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Chad without recognition. "Um, so she died in your mind? Well, she's no one's mother, I'm afraid, here."
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> <Twin 2> BLT. Doubled.
06[21:32] * 01Chad`Winters eyes go wide and he looks at Kat now. 1"...How long have I been with Zephyr?"
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to think. "Since after the original PAX."
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Right. 6He leans his head into the back and has Mia get on it, then returns to wait for Eve's answer.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> That'll be fine. 6* She notes after the antics
01[21:33] <01@Angela> * Samantha looks helplessly at the first twin.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* The other twin follows
02[21:33] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods and calls out the to go order.
[21:33] <01@Kit> 6The first has gone to pay attention to some Famfrit.
06[21:33] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Is this what would be if I didn't persue Eve?" 6He rubs his arm now as he thinks
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Didn't persue Eve? 6* She sounds curious
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The twin helps the first with the order. Twin style.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Paladin peers at Sam. "Can you tell them apart?"
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao enters the cafeteria, moving over to wait in a booth for her boy toy
[21:35] <01Chad`Winters> When I worked at Janus for Cran, I met Eve and we became friends. Something happened to her and in the process Zephyr and I bonded to save her. I was there for her afterwards which caused me to break the bond with Zephyr to try and spare her the pain.
01[21:35] <01@Angela> Sam> "No, I always get confused."
[21:35] <01@Kit> 6The first steps back and plays rock, paper, scissors with the second for who gets Ao.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. Well, you never worked for Janus to my knowledge.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second reads the first's mind to try to predict
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> Hm. You can notice some subtle differences.
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek appears and moves over to sit on the same side as Ao, putting his arm around her.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao smiles at Drasek. "I know you want beer to drink, any ideas on the food?"
[21:36] <01@Kit> 6The first pauses as the game is lost, then narrows her eyes at the second.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second just smiles.
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> As long as it's dead, I don't think I quite mind, love.
06[21:36] * 01Chad`Winters rubs the side of his head. 1"So then I don't have a daughter here?"
[21:36] <01@Kit> 6The first reaches over and starts to tickle the second.
01[21:37] <01@Angela> Sam> "Really? Like what?" *she eyes the twins*
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> No, you don't. I know recently that you and Zephyr have looked into finding a way to get her pregnant.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> It's things you'd have to notice on your own.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second jerks, making an odd noise that might be a laugh, or not.
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus gets the bag and hands it over to Eve. 1Here you go darlin, enjoy. 6He gives her a smile.
[21:38] <01Chad`Winters> A surrogate mother would have been an option. 6He studies Eve, a distant look in his eyes
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve glances over at the twins, then Marcus. "I see they're playful as always." 6* She takes it
[21:38] <01@Kit> 6The first definitely laughs, escaping quickly to serve Ao and Drasek before revenge is enacted.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> I think you both decided to wait until the situation on the ship was more steady
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Just a bit.
[21:38] <01Chad`Winters> Situation?
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> We're lost in unknown space.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao peers at the twin. "We want your best beer, and both of us want steak."
[21:39] <01Chad`Winters> Sounds like me.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve winks at Marcus, then moves off with the bag.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Like you?
01[21:39] <01@Angela> * Sam tilts her head and watches the twins with interest now. "Hmmm..."
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> It'd better be the best ruddy beer you've got too!
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* The tickled twin works to adjust their clothing now
03[21:39] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks amused and then leans against the counter, watching.
[21:39] <01@Kit> 6In that asian accent, the twin smiles and nods quickly. 1"Oh. Kay!"
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...was that the bloke?
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I think so.
[21:40] <01Chad`Winters> Yeah. 6He watches Eve go. 1"She died giving birth to Aya, my daughter. Awhile ago a group cloned her in an attempt to take my daughter for their own uses.
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek shudders slightly, then kisses Ao on the cheek.
[21:40] <01@Kit> 6The twin turns, signaling over to the counter with essentially what looks like a mopping the floor motion, gesturing to Drasek, then skips back to the counter and puts in the order for steaks.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr enters the bar and moves past Eve, stopping at the counter. "Mom and I are going to share lunch. Do you have anything light?"
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves into the back to handle the steak while one of the girls gets the beer.
06[21:41] * 01Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr now. 1"Mom...Ariel's here?"
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Mya> SOUP!
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks surprised, then Zephyr, then Chad. "Yes, head of security."
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, soup will be fine. 6* She nods distractedly.
01[21:41] <01@Angela> * Samantha looks over at Chad, raising a brow.
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Mya salutes and moves into the back.
[21:42] <01Chad`Winters> Ariel wasn't with us.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? Another difference, it seems.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waits at the bar, playing with a straw
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Moa sets down the beers for Ao and Drasek then moves back to the bar.
06[21:43] * 01Chad`Winters frowns now.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mia bounces
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Anything else you want to talk about? I might can offer some more insight if you need.
[21:44] <01@Kit> 6The first twin grabs the beers and runs back to slide them onto the table for the two. 1"Steak soon!" 6Then bows and returns to the other twin, whispering something into their ear with a giggle, pointing to Zephyr.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second twin peers at Zephyr
[21:45] <01@Kit> 6The first makes tickling motions.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second eyes the first, then pretends to study the wall
[21:45] <01@Kit> 6The first reels, then nudges the second, pouting.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second shakes their head
[21:45] <01Chad`Winters> For me, Zephyr and I never got this close. We dated briefly but it ended. Eve came back into my life and I've been spending more time with her as of late.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Cartel watch the twins, then lean over again. "So you kiss?"
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Mya steps out with the to-go bag and sets it down. 1Shiny?
[21:46] <01@Kit> 6The first sighs, leaning their head on the second's shoulder, blinking at the Cartel.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then smiles, reaching into her pocket, and hands Mya a coin
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Mya grins wide and bows a few times before going to show the other 3 girls.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, you've two made a wonderful couple as long as I've known you. But I imagine having a daughter is pretty important, and can see why you'd want to get that back.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second puts an arm around the first, then eyes the Cartel people. Zephyr takes the to-go box and moves for the pad
[21:47] <01Chad`Winters> It'll hurt her tho.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> You have family waiting on you. 6* She points out
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out and places the steaks on the bar.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Mum rushes over to give Theron another water, and Paladin another beer.
[21:49] <01Chad`Winters> Yeah, I do.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats his arm, then moves off, letting him think
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Mia takes the steaks and moves over with them
01[21:49] <01@Angela> * Sam waves down Mum. "Can I get a beer?"
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> When you're older, Sam.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina passes her
06[21:50] * 01Chad`Winters eyes the water for a moment, then stands up, grabbing the datapad.
01[21:50] <01@Angela> * Sam blinks, "H-How much older?"
[21:50] <01Chad`Winters> Zephyr. 6He moves after her.
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> How old are you now?
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, peering back as she was reaching. "Oh, Chad." 6* She says, caught off guard since she had the blocks up. "Hi." 6* She notes awkwardly, like a school girl
[21:52] <01Chad`Winters> I think we should talk.
01[21:52] <01@Angela> Sam> "21."
[21:52] <01@Kit> 6The twin moves away from the second to go give Ao and Drasek their steaks, but then returns, eyeing the second curiously.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers away. "Oh."
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Well when 1 beer doesn't made you head over heels drunk, we'll think about it.
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek nudges Ao and acts like he's going to take her steak.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao zaps his hand with a blast of hyperspace, since it'll sting, but at the same time, heal and give him more energy
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses. 1Oooh baby. 6He wiggles his brow, laughing.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr motions him to step on. "Lets go to our zone."
01[21:54] <01@Angela> Sam> "Hey, how else do I build up a tolerance?" *she pouts*
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron finishes his meal and sets down a coin, standing and moving to leave.
06[21:54] * 01Chad`Winters nods and steps on with her.
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Drinking alone where you can hurt yourself.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hits the number. She steps off and moves to the water edge, sitting down
01[21:55] <01@Angela> * Samantha stares at him. "...What...?"
[21:55] <01@Kit> 6The first twin waves to Theron energetically. 1"Come ...again!"
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Second Twin> Business pleasured.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Marcus, amused
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron nods once, then hits the lab button, dissappearing.
01[21:56] <01@Angela> * Samanatha frowns. "Why would you say something like that/"
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Because it was funny?
01[21:56] <01@Angela> * Samantha stares at him. "I don't get it."
06[21:57] * 01Chad`Winters follows after her, sitting down next to her. 1"I don't know how to say this, but the way things appear here, they're how I would've wanted my life to wind up. But there are things that aren't the same, things that would make this impossible to life with.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao drinks her beer now. "Keep it up and I'll get you pregnant." 6* She jokes.
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I know. 6He says simply.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. So you still think this is fantasy.
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and looks horrified. 1B-But I'm the man!
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> So? We live in a new age. Erevis got pregnant from Megumi after all
[21:58] <01Chad`Winters> I do.
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Like hell I would agree to that. Where'd the little git even come out of?
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Right, you do. You've had things wrong with your mind before, Chad. Id was in your head before. What makes you think any of that before is real and not something put there to break us apart?
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I don't know. I don't know anything about birthing Progenitors.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him, refusing to let tears run
01[21:59] <01@Angela> Samantha> "..." *she peers at him* "What...?"
[21:59] <01Chad`Winters> Because I can remember my daughter Zephyr, every detail about her, every memory we shared together.
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Besides, my luck I'd poison the thing and you'd resent me forever.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ..... 6* She looks away. "So you have a daughter in this... other life." 6* Her last two words make it sound like she was talking about trash
[22:00] <01@Kit> 6The first twin peers at the Cartel again, then smiles at the second. 1"Love neesama long time. Hmm. Kiss?"
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao gives him a sympathetic look and kisses his cheek.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Cartel people lean forward now, as if about to hit gold. Clearly Loki's lackeys.
06[22:00] * 01Chad`Winters wraps his arms around his knees. 1"Yes. With Eve Summers."
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi's assistant? 6* She just stares at him now. "Right. AT least it's just some random woman off the street than someone you're close to."
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> ... 6He grabs Mum and puts her in front of Sam. 1Talk to her instead. 6He glances around for Kat and gives her a wink, moving into the back.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina follows Marcus.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second twin considers, then nods.
[22:01] <01Chad`Winters> She died giving birth to our daughter.
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Mum> Hallo. You have shiny too?
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds up a hand. "Enough. Just...enough, Chad. Really. I can't believe you'd do this. You've known for years I wanted kids, but couldn't because of what I am. You even say "Lets put it on hold since we're lost in space". And now you just...say you have this whole other life with a daughter." 6* She just stands up.
[22:02] <01@Kit> 6The first nods, but then looks flustered slightly, frowning in concentration, adjusting their posture so they can at least hug while there's suspense.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second twin hugs, closing her eyes slowly and leaning forward a bit. The cartel people get their datapads ready
06[22:03] * 01Chad`Winters stands up now, reaching out to grab Zephyrs hand
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr glares at him as he touches her hand. "Let go, Chad. Go just...chase this imaginary life. Part of me almost hopes you really think it's real so I can pity you instead of hate you."
01[22:04] <01@Angela> "Uhh yeah, I'll have half a... soda." *she sighs*
[22:04] <01@Kit> 6The first twin blushes a bit, then leans in closer, pausing as their noses touch.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second twin mouths oniichan. The Cartel people begin to hit record eagerly
06[22:05] * 01Chad`Winters glances down as he lets go. 1"I'm sorry. I wish you could understand how hard this is for me."
[22:06] <01@Kit> 6The first tilts their head to the side and leans in closer, lips almost touching, then chickens out and kisses the other on the cheek. 1"Chu!"
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I really can't. 6* She bites back her tears, then walks off for the pad.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second smiles at him. "Hai hai." 6* The Cartel people fall over
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> <Mum> Soda. O-Kay. 6She thumbs up and moves off to get her a drink.
[22:07] <01@Kit> 6The second peers at the smile and eyes the floor, holding the tray in front and shifting embarassedly.
06[22:07] * 01Chad`Winters watches her go, a look of sadness in his eyes and on his face
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Cartel people move off, sad
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hits Ariel's floor, moving into MEgumi's house without knocking. "Mom!" 6* She cries out, using a tone she used to have when she was younger
06[22:09] * 01Ariel looks up, "The door's... oh. I guess you noticed."
[22:09] <01@Kit> 6Megumi steps in the back door. 1"Not so loud... ow.." 6She peers over, frowning. 1"...That tone. What's wrong?"
06[22:09] * 01Chad`Winters glances up now. 1"Chip."
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Yes?
[22:09] <01Chad`Winters> What zone is Eve Summers in?
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over to grab Ariel, crying into her shoulder
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> She is in Zone 18; a lab.
[22:10] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Mm. Chad must really be acting odd if she's come to this.
01[22:10] <01@Angela> * Samantha waits quietly, peering about at people.
06[22:10] * 01Ariel frowns as she actually sees Zephyr, and gets up, catching her as she moves over. "Zephyr... what... what happened?"
06[22:10] * 01Chad`Winters moves to his pad and hits Zone 18
[22:10] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Zeph, please stay as long as you need.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien looks over at Zephyr crying, then gets up to move and check thigns out
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Mum brings her back her soda. 1Heeryou go. 6She smiles.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> H-He said he had naother life with a kid. With Eve. 6* She sobs out. "Why would he say such things to me?"
[22:11] <01@Kit> 6The first twin peers over at the second. 1"...Teach?"
[22:11] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Ho-boy..
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> <Second> Teach?
[22:11] <01@Kit> 6The first squints, reddening a bit. 1"Chu!"
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks up as Chad enters the lab, surprised. "Can I help you?"
[22:11] <01Chad`Winters> I'm not sure. 6He steps off the pad.
[22:12] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Mama, I need to head back to engineering before Eve has a fit, so... If she needs to stay, you guys can have Isis' room.
06[22:12] * 01Ariel is shocked, unsure what to say about that. She hugs Zephyr tightly, "I... I must have missed something in the logs. If he..." She frowns.
[22:12] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Yours is too small for a kid her... size.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves over, a hand on Megumi. "Yes. She should stay here."
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second stares. "Chu?"
[22:13] <01Chad`Winters> This is going to sound crazy, maybe it is. But we used to be together, we even had a kid.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks at him. "I heard you were having some... memory problems." 6* She notes delicately.
[22:13] <01@Kit> 6The first pouts, since it's inconceivable to not understand, but shifts to hug back onto the second and poise again.
01[22:13] <01@Angela> * Sam smiles back at Mum and sips her drink.
06[22:13] * 01Ariel nods in agreement, stroking Zephyr's hair. "We'll sort this out... some how."
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to need a good cry. Always having wanted kids and all.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second pauses. "Chu."
[22:14] <01Chad`Winters> They're not problems. I know what I remember and they're as real to me as anything else here.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Well, I'm sure they feel real to you
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second pauses, then seems to have been told what a chu is. She leans in to teach a kiss
[22:15] <01Chad`Winters> I don't think so.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I mean the ohter memories.
06[22:16] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his face. 1"Those are real to me."
[22:16] <01@Kit> 6The first's eyes widen, as if having expected the other to chicken out, too.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> And I'm saying I believe they feel real. To you. But that's the case for us here.
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> *not
[22:17] <01@Kit> 6Megumi shifts to reach up and loops her hand over Erevis' neck, pulling her town to her slightly so she can lean up and kiss her. 1"I'll be back later, beloved."
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second leans back now, as if unphased by such an act
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns the kiss, then nods. "I will wait for you." 6* She peers at Zephyr, then goes to make tea for her
[22:18] <01@Kit> 6Megumi steps around Zephyr and Ariel, eyeing them <Keep me informed, would you?> moving for the telepad.
06[22:18] * 01Chad`Winters frowns and he leans against something. 1"That's what makes being here to hard.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve studies him, then seems to think. "Perhaps if this... isn't real. You should....recreate the events that led you here. Go to sleep, perhaps."
06[22:19] * 01Ariel moves to sit down with Zephyr, still holding the girl. <Of course.> She doesn't try to get any information from Zephyr at this point, knowing she's too distraught at the moment. And rightfully so.
[22:19] <01@Kit> 6The first gulps, completely red now. 1"..D-Doki... doki.." 6One hand on their chest, blinking.
[22:19] <01Chad`Winters> But wether this is the real world and the other is the fake, I have a daughter waiting for me there.
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody steak's not so bloody. 6He notes with a ho-hum.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Why would you want it so bloody?
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve just studies him, then sighs. "Well, if that's the case, you'd need to find a way to remove yourself from this world. If sleep doesn't work, some alternate means."
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Adds to the flavor, love.
[22:21] <01Chad`Winters> I loved you Eve, and there isn't a day that goes by that I forget you.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve just looks awkward.
[22:22] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Eve, I'm back. Sorry to keep you waiting.
[22:22] <01@Kit> 6Megumi pauses. 1"...Woops."
[22:22] <01Chad`Winters> Sorry. 6He glances at Megumi and moves for the telepad.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wipes her eyes away. "I'm... just going to lay down." 6* She apologizes to Ariel, stands up, then moves off
[22:23] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Um, I come at a bad time?
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve glances at Megumi, then at Chad. "No, of course not..."
06[22:24] * 01Chad`Winters hits Zone 10 and disappears
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve thinks a moment, then moves over, and steps on, hitting 10.
[22:24] <01@Kit> <Megumi> E-Eve..?
[22:24] <01Ariel> "Alright... just let me know if you need anything, okay?"
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, then steps out for Megumi's dojo training area
[22:25] <01@Kit> <Megumi> I'll go home! You'll be left on your own again!
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Um, Chad. 6* She calls out
06[22:25] * 01Chad`Winters glances back, looking at Eve. 1"Yeah?"
[22:25] <01@Kit> 6Megumi puffs her cheeks, then moves back and starts to work on her own despite.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> If this is a fake world, maybe you need to remove the thing keeping you here. I'm guessnig you don't have a bond with your Zephyr, right? You have one here. It could be what's keeping your mind trapped.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve pauses, then steps back onto the pad.
06[22:26] * 01Ariel flops back after Zephyr leaves for the moment. <I'm really worried about her... I've never seen her like this before.>
[22:26] <01@Kit> <Megumi> <That's for sure. She's usually pretty damn chipper for someone being spitroasted every night on a totem pole.>
06[22:26] * 01Chad`Winters frowns then nods. 1"It makes sense...Thank you, Eve."
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, then hits the lab button again.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps bcak out from the back after sex, checking to make sure Sam's soda is soda.
06[22:27] * 01Chad`Winters moves for his shack and steps inside. He sits on the edge of his bed now.
[22:27] <01Ariel> <Ix-nay on the otem-tay.>
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien stands in the room in the shadows. "So is this real, or you just tired of being with Zephyr?"
[22:28] <01@Kit> <Megumi> <What? It's not her fault he's worse than a hung elephant on hormones.>
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve mvoes back to her spot. "Sorry about that."
[22:28] <01@Kit> <Megumi> <You think he takes meds for it? Maybe that's what screwed him up.>
06[22:28] * 01Chad`Winters glances over at Darien now. 1"Even you're alive here."
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, so in this better world, I'm not alive. Joyful.
[22:28] <01@Kit> 6Megumi grins at Eve. 1"No problem. I solved the first two series' already.
01[22:28] <01@Angela> * Sam gets up, having finished and moves off to the teleporter to get back to work.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> That fast?
[22:29] <01Chad`Winters> Considering Spade was in your body?
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien stares. "Spade? He died ages ago."
[22:29] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Underestimating me?
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches her go without a word, and cleans up her dish
[22:29] <01Chad`Winters> Not for us.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Wonderful place then
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien says it sarcastically
[22:29] <01Chad`Winters> It's not perfect, but there are things I wouldn't give up there.
06[22:29] * 01Ariel is trying very hard to block this mental image. She gets up so she can peek in on Zephyr, though trying not to disturb her.
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out, buttoning up his shirt. 1I think I saw a spot I need cleaned back there. Get on it girls. 6He ntoes and the 3 move into the back to clean.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ariel would get a peek alright - Zephyr is holding one of the swords, eyeing it, then shifts to plunge it into her gut
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We've noticed. Found a way back, then?
[22:30] <01@Kit> <Megumi> <Hah, mama's so easy to fluster. Lighten up. If all we do is dwell on it, no good is bound to come of it.>
06[22:31] * 01Ariel slams the door open and rushes in to stop Zephyr, shock easily sensed over the bond.
[22:31] <01Chad`Winters> I was going to break the bond...6He frowns, looking off to the side. 1"It'd be the second time I've had to do this."
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chad would feel the bond breaking down - physically
[22:31] <01@Kit> 6Megumi jerks, dropping her pen and scowling. 1<Hey, what's going on?"
[22:31] <01@Kit> <Megumi> The hell?!
06[22:31] * 01Chad`Winters pauses, concern flashing across his face.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands there with teh sword in her. "I could...feel it...his thoughts about us...the bond.." 6* She croaks weakly, bleeding
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> What?
[22:32] <01@Kit> 6Megumi twists, leaping out of her desk seat and runs for the telepad, twitching.
[22:32] <01Ariel> <Call Caduceus! QUICK!> *kneels by Zephyr, trying to stop the bleeding* "No, Zephyr... No! Why..."
[22:32] <01Chad`Winters> She's...6He stands up now.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve watches her go
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr closes her eyes. "I'd rather be dead..."
[22:33] <01@Kit> <Megumi> CHIP, teleport Caduceus to the captain's level training grounds.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien stares. "She's what?"
[22:33] <01@Kit> 6Megumi hits the level to go herself.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* CHIP doe so. Caduceus peers about, in his boxers.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> What now?
[22:33] <01Chad`Winters> The bonds breaking down.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I thought you both had to break a bond.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus peers over at the bleeding Zephyr, blinking. He moves over to eye all the blood - apparantly Zephyr aimed for her major core area
06[22:34] * 01Ariel looks up at Caduceus pleadingly, trying not to cry.
[22:35] <01@Kit> 6Megumi sprints across their rock garden and into, then through the house, moving for Ariel.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs his comm, trying to get Ariel on the line about Zephyr. Caduceus grabs his equipment, aiming to give Zephyr a shot of nanities.
06[22:36] * 01Chad`Winters takes in a deep breath, his eyes closing. He starts to break the bond down on his part. 1"Life's never what you want."
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Ariel? Is everything okay?
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> She's taken major damage. 6* He tells Ariel. "And it appears her bond functions are going offline, which is is causing her system to readjust."
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> We need to teleport her directly to the medical bay.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus looks up. "CHIP."
06[22:37] * 01Ariel nods slowly. She's not answering the comm at the moment.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* CHIP Teleports them into the medical bay. Caduceus moves Zephyr into a healing tank quickly, but his expression says he already thinks negatively on the outcome.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the comm unanswered, then Chad. "What the fuck did you do?" 6* He hisses. Chad would feel the bond nearly offline at this point
[22:38] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Let me at her. I can't let her go like that.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> She has a raptured energy core that could explode at any moment, and her systems are already fritzed.
06[22:39] * 01Chad`Winters opens his eyes to look at Darien. 1"I'm removing the bond in hopes it's what's keeping me here.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> *ruptured
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien swings his fist at Chad's nose.
06[22:40] * 01Chad`Winters is hit and sent off the edge of his bed and onto the floor. He grabs his nose, wiping blood from it
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> CHIP, tell me what's going on. <CHIP> Alpha Zephyr is dying currently.
06[22:40] * 01Ariel stares at the tank, slowly moving over, "...is there anything...?"
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his hand, then moves after Chad.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I don't know. I'm trying to stablize her system with the ship's highly advanced techological wonders. just keep your pilot from mucking about
06[22:41] * 01Chad`Winters sniffs deeply and he moves to stand up now.
[22:41] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Tch, no one ever trusts me, yet look at all I pull off.
[22:42] <01Ariel> "Megumi... we trust you. But this isn't your area of expertise..."
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Damn. 6* He says after eyeing something. At that moment, Chad would feel pain in his head as the bond is ended violently. Chad would jerk awake in a chair, next to Xanatos, in a conference room
[22:42] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Are you kidding me? Who do you think kept me alive until we bonded?
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> Location: Conference Room
06[22:43] * 01Chad`Winters grabs his head, rubbing it. 1"What the hell..."
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sammael would also be present. It appears to be a meeting about engineering
04[22:43] <01@DeathStar> *Angela.
06[22:44] * 01@Angela peers over at Chad. "Something wrong Chad?"
[22:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tilts his head. 1Chad?
06[22:45] * 01Chad`Winters peers around, taking the area in as he glances at Xan. 1"...I'm going to medbay." 6He gets up, moving to the telepad.
[22:45] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> But we just started the meeting.
06[22:45] * 01@Angela looks at Chad, then Xan, shrugging.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on the bridge, talking to Dawn and Aya about systems, with Megumi in the chair to fly the ship
[22:45] <01Chad`Winters> Then have it at the medbay. 6He shrugs helplessly as he steps onto the pad.
[22:45] <01@Kit> <Megumi> I still think I could handle it...
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* The meeting room would lead to the bridge area first, then the pad
[22:46] <01@Kit> 6Dawn peers over at Megumi nervously, then back to Erevis.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> We would feel safer if you focus only on flight for now, Kitten
06[22:46] * 01Chad`Winters steps into the bridge area first, a hand rubbing his temple
01[22:46] <01@Angela> "Should we go with him...?"
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances over at Chad, having been sitting around Megumi to watch
[22:46] <01@Kit> <Megumi> What flying?
[22:47] <01@Kit> 6Megumi eyes the black of space in annoyance.
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...hmm. You can just put together a document about potential damages and send it to my datapad. I'll check on him. 6He stands and moves onto the bridge.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> That is what we are practicing. Dawn Allighieri, pick a spot in space, then Kitten will fly there
01[22:47] <01@Angela> "You're the boss." *she smirks a bit and pulls out her own datapad*
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* The datapad has images of the dead Darien Starr on it, his mouth opened in agony
06[22:48] * 01Chad`Winters steps onto the pad and hits zone 8.
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Cha-6He pauses. 1What the hell has gotten into him?
06[22:48] * 01@Angela nearly drops it, shaking her head, blinking as she looks at it again.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> He looked tense. Did he not enjoy the work?
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's normal.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at the viewscreen, not commenting on Chad.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy hangs about Cassandra's zone, laying in her bed
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> He zoned out and then suddenly snapped and left. Said he was going to the medical bay.
06[22:49] * 01@Angela goes pale and shakes a bit, standing. "Don't... have to do it here."
[22:49] <01@Kit> 6Dawn nods, then just picks one of the empty spaces and begins programming its coordinates. Before he finishes, Megumi adjusts and starts correcting the ship to move toward it. 1"..."
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sits in his office
06[22:50] * 01Chad`Winters moves upto Cad's door. 1"I need you to scan my brain."
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles and leans over to nuzzle Megumi to show her approval.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes Chad. "Only if you take off all your clothes."
[22:50] <01@Kit> 6Dawn rubs his head, sighing and just giving up since it's not necessary.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up from her station, amused.
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances at them then steps on the pad and hits 8.
06[22:50] * 01@Angela gets up, moving to the bridge to head to a teleporter, still pale.
04[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Angela would hear Darien's labored breaths in her mind as he died
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus cleans his counter.
[22:51] <01Chad`Winters> Cad.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Chad.
[22:51] <01Chad`Winters> Please.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus rolls his eyes. "What am I scanning for exactly?"
[22:51] <01Chad`Winters> I don't know, anything that's out of the norm.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Well, that could take hours of debate even after the hours it takes to scan
06[22:52] * 01@Angela stumbles a bit and looks about, then heads for the teleporter faster.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus grabs his cane and pushes himsefl up, then motions to a bed
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps forward to eye Chad. 1Mind telling me what's going on?
04[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches Angela stumble out. "I am beginning to wonder if Engineering is a stressful job."
[22:52] <01Chad`Winters> The last thing I remember is going to bed last night then waking up in the meeting. 6He moves for the bed, sitting down on it.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Sleep walking, clearly. 6* He notes, then uses his cane to activate a machine.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy rolls about CAssandra's bed, still some scars present, and still in her six year old form. She's wearing only her underwear
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You're so drull that we couldn't tell a difference. 6He notes.
[22:53] <01Chad`Winters> I should clarify. I was somewhere else during it.
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek is still in medbay, sitting by Fiore.
[22:53] <01Chad`Winters> And I don't sleep walk.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore opens her eyes finally, as if the talking woke her
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You seemed perfectly normal to me.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Maybe you do - you're the one looking for abnormalities in the brain
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and leans forward.
06[22:54] * 01@Angela looks back at Zephyr a moment and then hits the button for zone 5.
[22:54] <01@Kit> 6Dawn jerks slightly on the bridge, peering back the way of the telepad.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore glances at Drasek
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Dawn. "If you want to go, I understand."
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well hello there, love.
[22:55] <01@Kit> 6Dawn nods, then looks to Aya.
04[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Angela would be redirected to a quarters zone
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods to Dawn. "I'm sure she'll be glad to see you."
[22:55] <01@Kit> <Dawn> ...Thank you so much.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> O...ai..yo.."
06[22:55] * 01@Angela looks about and shakes her head, heading towards her room.
06[22:55] * 01Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair. 1"It's hard to explain. I woke up like normal, but everything that was going on wasn't normal. A livid dream if you will."
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek holds up a finger. 1Shh. Take it easy, al'right? 6He leans forward to give her a kiss.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sits and eyes the brain scans
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore is kissed, mostly, too tired to return it
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh I love those. 6He notes with a nod, theng lances to Cad. 1Is he alright?
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek leans back and takes her hand, giving her a smile.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya gives Dawn a smile.
06[22:57] * 01@Angela moves into her room and sits down on her bed, she pulls the datapad out again hesitantly and starts to work.
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> He's fine.
06[22:58] * 01Chad`Winters looks over at Cad. 1"Except I've never had one that caused me to sleep walk.
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Some stress in some areas of his brain, but that's likely from the dream if it was disturbing
[22:58] <01@Kit> 6Dawn enters the medical bay from the bridge, moving quickly over.
[22:59] <01@Kit> <Dawn> Oneesama?
[22:59] <01Chad`Winters> Is one of those areas common for a Dragoon Bond to effect?
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances up to Dawn and moves to the side as he comes forward.
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore peets at Dawn. "O..nii..chan."
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Dragoon Bond? What kind of dream was that, Chad?
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus peers at them. "They could be, I suppose."
06[22:59] * 01@Angela curls up, she puts down her datapad after a few moments and just starts to cry.
[23:00] <01@Kit> 6Dawn lights up a bit, dropping to sit on his knees and practically breaking into tears despite smiling.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The sounds of the breathing ease up as she begins to cry. Though the desire to hold someone would be there.
[23:00] <01Chad`Winters> You think it's actually possible for the human brain to recreate something like during a dream?
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore looks concerned, trying to reach out and pat his head like he were a kid
06[23:01] * 01@Angela shakes, wishing she had someone, anyone right now, gripping the sheets, "Darien... why didn't I..."
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I'm not sure.
[23:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek leans forward and pats Dawn's shoulder. 1It's alright mate. She'll be right proper in no time, right?
[23:02] <01@Kit> <Dawn> Yeah... heheh... heh... youkataaa..
06[23:03] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue then looks at Xanatos. 1"And you didn't notice anything strange from me?"
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore pats Dawn's head. "Better. Soon. Do play. Together."
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You did give me a hug. But I just thought you were happy for your promotion.
06[23:03] * 01@Angela pulls out her comms, sitting up, she calms herself a bit before comming Zephyr.
[23:03] <01Chad`Winters> I'm being serious, Xan.
[23:03] <01@Kit> 6Dawn smiles, closing his eyes as she does. 1"Of course, oneesama."
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zpehyr peers down and answers. "Hello?" 6* Erevis peers over at the comm, frowning
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> And I would've given you a serious answer if I had one.
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You were the same as always.
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> It must have been a touchy dream.
01[23:04] <01@Angela> "H-Hey... everything alright? Sorry I just ran past you like that..."
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Keeping place. Clean? 6* She asks Drasek
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh? Yeah. I didn't notice. Do you need to see me?
[23:04] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Been here mostly, love. I'll get right on that.
[23:04] <01Chad`Winters> Something like that. 6He shifts off the bed now
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Mind filling us in then?
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm dying to know, that's for sure.
06[23:05] * 01@Angela rubs her eyes, she thinks a moment. "Might be a good idea if it's somewhere public. Ere's concerned right now..."
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Okay. Garden?
[23:05] <01@Kit> <Dawn> I'll help." 6He peers at Drasek.
[23:06] <01Chad`Winters> And when do I talk about my dreams?
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi now
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> After you make us run brain scans on you
01[23:06] <01@Angela> "Sounds good." *she sucks in a breath to hold back some more tears* "I-Invite Meg along if you want."
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bah you're busy now with your two jobs, mate. You're lookin at the navigations officer and a member of the security. 6He tells Fiore with a wink, messing with Dawn's hair.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> She's busy with flying.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore looks at Dawn, then offers a smile to Dawn. "Proud."
01[23:06] <01@Angela> "Okay... I'll head there soon... no rush..."
[23:06] <01@Kit> 6Dawn squints slightly, looking sheepish. 1"Have time for oneesama."
[23:07] <01@Kit> <Dawn> It's fine.
06[23:07] * 01Chad`Winters rubs the back of his neck. 1"Fine." 6He starts telling them everything that he remembers
[23:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr closes the comm, then moves for the pad
06[23:07] * 01@Angela puts it away and gets up, she wipes her eyes and cleans up a bit before moving back for the teleporter.
[23:07] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> You do? Good. Keep her company while I go clean, then. 6He Drasek smiles and takes Fiore's hand to squeeze it, giving her a wink before moving off.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore offers Drasek a smile
[23:08] <01@Kit> 6Dawn blinks several times, pouting since he seems to have been one-upped, but smiles and leans against Fiore.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps off into the garden.
[23:08] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Yes, beloved?
04[23:08] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you think it wise to let her go see Angela Bennet considering her mutation of powers?
[23:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts, arching a brow as Chad talks.
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus listens, leaned back. "We could have Aya check to see if there were any reality anamolies."
[23:09] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well I'm more hurt that I wasn't around in your perfect fantasy world. Asshole.
06[23:09] * 01@Angela teleports over to the garden once on the pad and looks around as she steps out into the "nature" of it all.
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Apparantly Megumi and Erevis were closer; I'm not shocked.
[23:10] <01Chad`Winters> That's why I called it the perfect world
04[23:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers over, then moves to Angela. "Hi, you okay? What's wrong?"
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Well, ex-perfect world. If it was a real reality, I doubt they're all so happy now.
06[23:10] * 01@Angela takes a seat, patting the ground beside her. "Guilt."
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits down. "Guilt?"
[23:11] <01Chad`Winters> Let's stick with dream. It'll make sleeping easier for me.
[23:11] <01@Kit> <Megumi> ..I am still watching her, if that is what you mean.
06[23:11] * 01@Angela hugs her knees a bit and looks forward. "I could have saved Darien."
[23:11] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well. It seems unlikely since there's usually some type of visual to show a shift in reality. It really could have just been an intense dreams.
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, then moves over to take Megumi and slide her onto her lap, cuddling her and kissing at her neck.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I do have a theory.
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Cas.
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> NRP: Cad*
[23:12] <01Chad`Winters> If you say mid-life crisis...
04[23:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr touches Angela's back; the touch would begin to make her feel better, mentally and physically. "It was all very quick."
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Just that if you've had any stress involving Aya or Zephyr or Eve, it could have played out in a dream like format - anything happen recently to change your attitudes toward any of them?
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Like Aya being buried alive.
06[23:13] * 01@Angela starts to calm. "I... I know... I just can't get him out of my mind. Those last moments... his eyes, his breath... he told me to go and hide, if I could have bonded with him he'd still be here..."
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Or realizing you and Zephyr just aren't going to be together. 6He notes to Chad.
03[23:13] * Jackieness (Psy@h253.184.18.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
[23:13] <01@Kit> <Megumi> B-Beloved, you are distracting me.." 6She utters.
06[23:14] * 01Chad`Winters leans back now. 1"My subconcious' way of dealing with stress." He eyes Xan, not hiding his dislike for the lack of privacy.
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then stops. "I apologize. You look very sexy in the chair moving the ship."
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes Xanatos at that, then Chad
[23:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives him a smile. 1I have certain names flagged. Sorry it dealt with that.
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> IT happened really fast. 6* She notes. Megumi would detect a minimal power drain from Zephyr. But barely noticeable.
06[23:16] * 01Chad`Winters doesn't smile back then shifts off the bed, looking at Cad. 1"Well if everythings fine with my brain, I'm going to head back to my zone for a bit."
[23:16] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Ah-hah." 6She frowns, but sees if she can stop it.
01[23:16] <01@Angela> "Yeah... it did." *she sighs and rubs her head* "I can't change the past..." *she looks down at the ground* "Thanks Zephy..."
04[23:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Angela begins to feel slightly bummed again all over.
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> By all means.
06[23:17] * 01Chad`Winters grunts and moves for his pad.
[23:17] <01@Kit> <Megumi> <Zephy, how is she reacting?>
06[23:17] * 01@Angela sighs, still depressed, but she puts on a smile. "Just having you nearby seems to help."
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Huh?>
[23:18] <01@Kit> <Megumi> <What is she like, right now?>
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets her hands rub along Megumi sides, but in non distracting way
06[23:18] * 01@Angela looks down, rocking a bit.
[23:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I still want that evaluation of the ship's engines from you as soon as possible Chad. But don't stress over it.
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <She's depressed and sad. She looks like she's feeling a bit better, but not a lot.>
06[23:18] * 01Chad`Winters hits zone 10, disappearing
04[23:19] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> At this rate, Angela might be your only engineer.
[23:19] <01@Kit> <Megumi> <Would you say it changed since you went to her?>
04[23:19] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll bring Myria over. I'm not trusting the whole ship to Angela.
04[23:19] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <A litlte. She looks kinda sad again.> 6* she smiles at Angela
[23:19] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll come over anytime you need me.
[23:19] <01@Kit> <Megumi> <Alright.>
[23:19] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Almost parasitic.
[23:19] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think I made him mad. 6He notes with a sigh, and then gives Cad a nod, moving to the teleporter.
[23:19] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> PArasitic?
[23:19] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> What doesn't make him mad?
[23:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chad would find no sexy girls in his bed this time.
[23:20] <01@Kit> <Megumi> It is like she bonded with Zephyr like myself, yet there is a reliance. Any time their contact is made, she seems to feed off her energy level, and it affects her moods.
06[23:20] * 01@Angela nods and smiles weakly. "Thanks sis. I'm... sure over time I'll get over this."
[23:20] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well what I heard was a private conversation between him and someone else. But since he said Zephyr name, it was flagged and recorded to my logs. So I understand him getting mad.
06[23:20] * 01Chad`Winters sits on the edge of his bed.
[23:20] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you think that means?
[23:21] <01@Kit> <Megumi> I really know nothing about the Omega. I cannot say.
[23:21] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Do you think anyone else flagged the conversation? Considering the hack
[23:21] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> .... a disturbing thing.
[23:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses. 1....probably. I'll look into it. Thanks for pointing that out. 6He hits the bridge button.
06[23:21] * 01Chad`Winters lays back, his hands running through his hair as he lets out his breath
[23:22] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Is it possible that rather than 'removing' part of Zephyr's memories she.. somehow took them unto herself?
06[23:22] * 01@Angela rubs her head a bit. "I hope they figure this out soon. Erevis doesn't really want me to hang out with you until it is, and she's right... I shouldn't be now." *she looks conflicted about that, however*
[23:22] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm fine, really.
[23:22] <01@Kit> <Megumi> Creating a sort of dependency on later installations?
[23:22] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot say. Omega was designed to control ALphas. It could be that her body has mutated in a way that uses Zephyr as a battery.
06[23:23] * 01@Angela looks down thoughtfully. "You'd tell me if something wrong was happening, right Zeph?"
[23:23] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course.
[23:23] <01@Kit> <Megumi> This is a troubling predicament. It would not be right to force them apart, yet ...I do not want to harm Zephyr any further.
04[23:24] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I find matters with Angela Bennet bring that predicament often, and frequently.
[23:24] <01@DeathStar> -END-
