[20:02] <01@DeathStar> Reality Day 41
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> Location: The Next Reality
[20:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* The team appear in a dimly lit room with an old phonograph playing an older song.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers around quietly, having been quiet and subdued since arriving - she's still wearing the native garms of the last reality they were, revealing much of her body. Which John is descent enough not to look at.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers about a few times, trying to find the source of the music
[20:04] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks about slowly, listening to the song. "Hmmmm... feels like home."
[20:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts, glancing around slightly, they appear to be in a living room of sorts, with older style furniture, a champaigne bottle turned over in the floor and a pack of cigars on a table.
[20:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole kneels to look the phonograph over. 1This music is depressing.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Why would a puppy be in a window?
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. A pet store I believe.
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Once they get accustomed to the sound of the music they'd hear something else, yelling coming from outside the room.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers toward the door, moving over to it slowly.
[20:05] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Rather nice rhythm though." *he fixes his gloves, slowly looking in the direction of the yelling*
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Once John opens the door, he would steps out into a dimly lit hallway. The floors, walls and ceiling are all a metal color with a dingy strip of red carpet running along it.
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* The noise is coming from the left.
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers as the door opens up on him, almost magically, then shifts his head out into the hallway to look left.
[20:08] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron moves over, touching the door frame. "Now this we didn't have at home."
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott checks his gun
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves forward to inspect the doors too.
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Interesting mechanism. More advanced than this time frame I believe.
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers around, counting heads. 1I think we're missing someone.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks around now quickly.
[20:09] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "We were still using the ol' wood and hinge affair... if the music is a proper marker."
[20:10] <01Kit> <Chii> Did we really have to jump..? I felt like sleeping in..
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* John frowns ,trying to make sense of the noise
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. 6He peers ahead at a poster of a strong looking man, saying Atlus Lives.
[20:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* John would note that it's a large number of people yelling or screaming or just being angry.
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stares at Chii in disbelief, a look on her face as she peers away. After all, they set out once they left behind things for Jen, and she felt like sleeping in after all that
02[20:12] * Jennifer (chatzilla@adsl-072-148-234-210.sip.asm.bellsouth.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> <John> Well, I'm not typically one to say this seems like a bad place to be, but the music, the lighting, the room, and the screams give me the creeps.
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You're not the only one. 6He shudders, holding the emtpy bottle of booze. 1They drank everything.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> Might be why they're screaming
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon closes her eyes, feeling out for a crystal
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Jerks. 6He glances left and right, then drops the bottle. Lemon would sense the crystal is towards the noise.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> The crystal is in the direction of the noise.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* John clicks his tongue, shoving his hands into his coat pockets.
03[20:14] * Jennifer (chatzilla@adsl-072-148-234-210.sip.asm.bellsouth.net) has joined #taw
[20:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and rubs the side of his face. 1Should we risk anymore trouble?
03[20:14] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jennifer
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I don't know. ... what does everyone think?
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks around hesitantly. Scott peers up from his weapon. <Scott> I don't like it
[20:15] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> It's pretty damn creepy, that's for sure.
[20:15] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Doesn't seem to be too bad. I mean, we've dealt with worse. Though we're awfully short handed now?"
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <John> So you assume the situation isn't worse based on being in one room.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Cameron.
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around and shakes his head slightly. 1It sounds like a crowd, an angry one. I could check it out if you like. 6He notes to Lemon.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I don't want us to split up.
[20:16] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Well... we have had worse."
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods and pulls out a pistol, just in case.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <John> You see, whenever someone says we've had worse, just means we'll get it worse now.
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> It's called a JINX. I hate em.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <John> I say we send the spider-bot first.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* John motions at Cole's head
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> What!? What if they hurt him.
[20:18] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> *crosses his arms, arching a brow*
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <John> Then they didn't hurt us.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cipher moans pitifully from Cole's head
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hurting him is hurting me. He's my right hand man. Literally.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <John> Do you ... you know, with your right hand
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> .....
[20:19] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "...Valid question."
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* John squints now.
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ......you guys are sick. I have your moms take care of that.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks annoyed. "We should either go, or leave."
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <John> My mom is dead. 6* He notes.
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Lemon, to see what she wants to do.
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> At least you had one.
[20:19] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Mine's now a nun, good luck."
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> It wouldn't hurt to take a quick look - if there is trouble, we just leave.
[20:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once and begins to move forward along the hallway.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* John steps to take the lead, and Lemon moves out with them. Scott shifts to face the other way with his gun, then backs up after them
[20:20] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron steps out slowly, looking about, hands in his pockets.
[20:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole bounds along.
[20:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* As they reach the end of the hallway they would emerge out into a larger room with tall columns and banners strung among them. Ahead they would see the crowd roaring and yelling towards a line of armed men guarding something.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* John holds up a hand and peers out at the crowd, trying to make out what's being protected. Lemon stops herself, almost bumping into Kane
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses as well, glancing over his shoulder slightly he tries to get a good look.
06[20:23] * 01@Jennifer frowns and narrows his eyes, gaining a dark look as her sizes up the armed men. Peering out from behind Lemon.
[20:23] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron
03[20:23] * Jennifer is now known as Cameron
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* John would see small submarine like things with the word Bathysphere on a banner overtop of one.
[20:23] <01Kit> <Chii> ...The hell?
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <John> I think it reads Bath sphere.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <John> But different reality, it could mean something else.
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and pokes John's shoulder, pointing towards the top right wall.
[20:24] <01Kit> <Chii> Bathysphere. Bathy? What's the quality of being Bath-...y?"
[20:24] <01@Cameron> "Bath-y-sphere? Bathingsphere.... bath-sphere..."
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* John looks upward
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott keeps aiming the way they came, his gun held ready
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* There's a large window on each size, but the past the windows are a deep blue. A school of fish swims by the one John is looking at.
[20:25] <01@Cameron> "Depth sphere."
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> <John> Are we in a pool?
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Big pool.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> <John> Could be a lake.
[20:26] <01Kit> <Chii> Could be the ocean.
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Depth seems to be the right word. We're definitely underwater.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> <John> Wouldn't we be crushed if we were in the ocean?
[20:26] <01@Cameron> "Latin, have to learn it to handle half the alchemical tomes."
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems to be watching the people, strangely enough, and their body language.
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> The pressure should be far too great for us.
[20:26] <01Kit> <Chii> Or you could grow a brain and figure it out yourself instead of copying from books.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sighs at Chii's wording choice
[20:27] <01@Cameron> "That's how you learn m'dear."
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* The crowd that's yelling seem to want on the sphere's some are anxious, some are angry and some are even afraid.
[20:27] <01@Cameron> "If we're underwater, that's probably for going up, in other words, out of here."
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I think this situation is very .... tense. There could be fighting.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <John> I just hope the crystal isn't in the ocean
[20:28] <01@Cameron> "These people aren't very keen on staying, maybe I did jinx us."
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Who would want to stay at the bottom of a large body of water...?
[20:28] <01@Cameron> "Well, they had to get here somehow."
[20:28] <01Kit> <Chii> Depends on what's waiting on the surface.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <John> Seems like they're willing to risk it
[20:29] <01Kit> <Chii> This could be another fallout-style reality.
[20:29] <01@Cameron> "If that's the case, why are they so keen to get out of here, the shelter?"
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> So, if they wish to leave, the question is - what is down here that makes them more scared than leaving?
[20:29] <01Kit> <Chii> But my luck, and the way they're ranting-- I bet it's Atlantis.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <John> Atlantis is more of a space station, really.
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his chin slowly, making a mumbling noise.
[20:29] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm talking about the city crushed by the sea.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks more concerned.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <John> So am I.
[20:30] <01Kit> 6Chii paues, then eyes John. 1"Space station?"
[20:30] <01@Cameron> "In legend, it was a sunken city, taken by a natural disaster one night."
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers at Chii, then gives a lopsided grin
[20:30] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> The architecture is likely the cause for the lack of pressure that we feel. It seems very sturdy, like a thick steel.
06[20:30] * 01@Cameron frowns and looks at John. "Didn't that crazy blonde with the horrible speech problem claim to be in Atlantis?"
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> .... 6* She closes her eyes, clearly trying to be like Cheryl and decide what is best - stay or leave
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <John> There's many Atlantises, really
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <John> Just hope you don't mean the one that spawned all the others. I bet it's bad.
[20:31] <01Kit> <Chii> And many Johns.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> *meet
[20:32] <01@Cameron> "Perhaps we should see what the fuss is about?"
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers at Lemon, annoyed at her taknig her time, then peers back the way they came, looking antsy. It doesn't seem to like the idea of being under a lot of water
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* And with that, someone lunges forward from the crowd, rushing towards the bathysphere, then men gun them down and with that a fight begins to break out. People in the crowd begin to scatter, with some fighting, while the rest turn and run towards the team.
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh guys.
[20:32] <01@Cameron> "Perhaps we should move?"
[20:32] <01Kit> <Chii> Time to step aside.
[20:33] <01Kit> <Chii> Well, actually, I don't feel like being trampled.
06[20:33] * 01@Cameron moves to the side to let the crowd pass.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <John> Step aside where?
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes the hallway
[20:33] <01Kit> 6Chii pulls out a gun and fires toward some of the collumns, just to let it be known to the crowd she has a weapon.
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* The crowd pours into the hallway, the team will have to move along, they don't even seem to care she has a weapon.
[20:33] <01Kit> <Chii> Wh-What the fuck, you're running from a gun-- into a gun!?
06[20:33] * 01@Cameron frowns and looks back at Chii. He keeps moving along, to avoid being trampled by a mob.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* John grunts as they begin to knock him along with them - Lemon falls over onto the ground, while Scott ducks into one of the rooms
03[20:33] * Jackieness (Psy@h145.165.18.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
[20:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane reaches out to pull Lemon to her feet, getting knocked back by the crowd.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks. "Kane!"
[20:34] <01Kit> 6Chii hops back quickly a few steps, but then snarls angrily and finishes seals, reaching back her hand and slams it into the floor in front of her, creating a forceful surge of water, having no qualms knocking people around to keep them from trampling Kane and Lemon.
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* The water crashes into the people and half the team.
06[20:35] * 01@Cameron frowns, watching the massacre, continuing to move about, avoiding people when water sweeps him over, he hits a wall and grunts out something in german, likely bad.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is hit by the water, making a face and falls
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane is knocked forward as well, a person manages to get close, knocking Chii to the ground as they tramble over her.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* John shifts into a side room finaly, making a face as he waits it out
[20:37] <01Kit> 6Chii gets trampled.
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole knocks some people aside and lifts up Chii. 1Hiya kiddo.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gets to her feet, then dashes and rolls, grabbing Chii into her arms and rolling with her into people, then tries to leap up to grab piping and hang from it
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Lemon's act ends her ito Cole
06[20:38] * 01@Cameron grumbles, pressed to a wall, watching people go by, he inches towards a side door. "Bloody dunces..."
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole grunts and catches Lemon too, pulling them both back towards the room, still fighting through the crowd to get back, though it does seem to be thinning out, though the sound of gunfire is still ringing out.
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cameron and Cole would finally make it back into the room, with John.
[20:40] <01Kit> 6Chii clearly curses about something, but weakly and without much bite to it-- granted, she's still Chii, her fingers fumbling with one of her leg pouches and she drops a stun bomb down to her foot, kicking it out into the hall. Her left hand still clutching the gun, brings it up to fire at it.
06[20:40] * 01@Cameron slips through the doorway John went through and sighs. "No reasoning with a damn mob. Let them pass and maybe the trigger happy guards will talk."
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers Chii still attacking. "If our trigger happy fox doesn't alert them."
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Chii would indeed stun a crowd of them, though not as many as at first since the crowd was thinning at that point.
06[20:41] * 01@Cameron rubs his face. "So much for diplomatic approaches.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon shakes herself off, her outfit a bit dishelved and showing off her chest in classic Dragoon fanservice
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Mmmmm.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> 6 The crowd finally thins out, and the sound of gunfire as ceased.
[20:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Y'want to ...reason with a bullet, Cam. I got y'one right... here." 6She waves her gun at him tiredly, heaving.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Chii, please do not say such things - I want us to get along without such words
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon says tired herself now, and looks like she feels she failed the team yet again
[20:43] <01@Cameron> "It's alright, I rather enjoy the lass' spritely teasings."
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sits Chii down and reaches out to fix Lemon's top. 1They're nice an all, but really distracting.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon squeals as he touches her top, peering down
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole freezes at the squeal, going white.
[20:44] <01@Cameron> * Cameron peers over, sensing chivalry has been violated.
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> S-Sorry.
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers down, then seems to realize. "Oh, thank you."
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* John does a head count real quick. "So, should we bugger out?"
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* They seem to be missing one.
[20:45] <01@Cameron> Cameron> "This may turn into the Atleans all over again, we should."
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks around. "Kane is missing. We can't go..."
[20:47] <01@Cameron> "Can you sync him from here luv?"
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> His device is damaged.
[20:47] <01Kit> <Chii> Where the hell'd he go..? He was hanging onto you..
[20:47] <01@Cameron> "Ah."
[20:48] <01@Cameron> "Well, I suggest we hunt for the Professor before he gets too far."
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> The water knocked him away from me.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon indicates her wet self - which shows off her breasts still due to the clothes wet nature
[20:48] <01Kit> <Chii> He wouldn't have run off. Would he? He should still be out there.
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I didn't see him.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* John steps into the hallway. "Binary?"
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott checks his gun over once more, then slides out with John, peering about
06[20:50] * 01@Cameron peeks into the hall the other way, holding his spoon warily.
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* There's a group of people at his feet that Chii stunned and the door to his right is sealed shut.
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole stares at Lemon's chest.
[20:51] <01@Cameron> "What do you think gov? The door?" *he points at the sealed door*
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> <John> Well, if he was dragged with the crowd, yeah, that'd be my guess
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon steps out, frowning in concern, trying to feel out Kane's crystal
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* He is indeed past the sealed door.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> You are correct, Mr. John
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Think we can power through it?
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* John nods, eyeing the sealed door. "Looks like we need to bust our way through, then."
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <John> The firey one with her explosives could probably handle it
[20:53] <01Kit> <Chii> Tch, you do it.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Chii, deadpanned. "Now isn't the time to be snarky. A member of our team needs our help, you got ninpo."
[20:53] <01@Cameron> Hmmm... *he walks over, tapping the door with his spoon, eyeing the spoon like he's looking at a readout* Nice... I think I can handle this one. *he pulls out a small stick of oily black stuff and looks over at them*
[20:53] <01Kit> 6Chii winces, just sitting on her knees. 1"I don't know how many bruises I bruised with that nice stunt, and I think I broke a couple ribs."
[20:54] <01Kit> <Chii> If you want explosives, get 'em. Jeez.
[20:54] <01@Cameron> "Oh hush, explosives are so... barbaric."
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Chii, then kneels down to touch her ribs, feeling along them.
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* It's thick, Cameron would be pretty drained if he did.
[20:54] <01Kit> 6Chii's tail bristles, but she grins at John.
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Chii in concern, her lips trembling now as she peers to the side
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott keeps an eye the way the Bathychamber is
06[20:55] * 01@Cameron frowns and draws a small circle, tapping the spoon on it and frowning. "It's thick though... you have enough explosives to get through this?"
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <John> Hm. 6* He murmurs. "I could numb it, but I'm not really good at healing."
[20:55] <01Kit> <Chii> It's amongst my specialties, Cam, Cherry just banned me from using them freely.
[20:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances left and then right, frowning. 1I hate water. 6He notes with a sigh, probably just realizing they're under it.
[20:55] <01@Cameron> "Well, alchemy on this door would drain me, seems a bit wasteful."
[20:56] <01@Cameron> "I say go for it. Barbarians ho!"
[20:56] <01Kit> 6Chii reaches down into her satchel, opposite of the stun bomb and fishes out plastique-like substance. 1"Just do it, John. All it needs is a strong electrical current-- or fire."
06[20:56] * 01@Cameron steps back.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Cameron, you will weaken teh door for us
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Not to be paranoid, but w-what if we let the water in?
[20:56] <01Kit> <Chii> I'll heal on my own, just give me a few minutes.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <John> I'm more worried about the explosion drawing the guys with guns
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* John takes the item, though
[20:57] <01Kit> <Chii> Then go ask 'em to open it for us.
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Did you SEE those guns? They were ancient. I could take them easy.
06[20:57] * 01@Cameron sighs, "That will take less, changing structure is a lot less taxing then completely destroying it."
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Please begin - Kane needs our help.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gives him a look to say "get your ass going"
[20:57] <01Kit> <Chii> Cam, since I don't trust your brilliance--
06[20:58] * 01@Cameron sighs and draws a circle, putting both hands to it and performing an alchemy to weaken the door.
[20:58] <01Kit> 6Chii points to six specific points, then the center. 1"Displace those six spots in a ring, the displaced material can be used to shield the blast-- shape charging. Put one on the surface in the center, John. Six at once to perforate, then the center will blast it forward off the 'hinges.'
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon focuses on the door, the hallway, the structure, probably debating what a follow up attack to the weaken door will be - blast from Cole, or the explosives.
[20:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole keeps watching back towards the large room, glancing at Scott to see he's got them covered.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <John> That sounds complicated.
06[21:00] * 01@Cameron steps away and moves for some cover. "Go ahead."
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* John steps forward and begins to place the explosives like ordered.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Just to be safe, everyone should step back into the side room
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances over his shoulder. 1Good idea. 6He slides back in
06[21:01] * 01@Cameron slips back into it, already on his way, he raises a hand in acknowledgement.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon slides Chii into her arms and moves into the side room, as does Scott
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* John steps back, gets some flames to his fingertips, tosses them at an explosive, then dives into the side room, covering his head
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* There's a loud boom and a low groaning.
[21:03] <01@Cameron> "Mmm... I think some poor chap's hurt."
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott frowns at the groaning noise, and John makes a face.
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* The groaning isn't a man, it's the building.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon shifts to peer out int othe hallway, being the leader
06[21:04] * 01@Cameron frowns and looks about. "That might be more then a hurt chap..."
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* The door has been effectively blown off it's track, through sounds from the left can be heard, talking.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon shifts to hand Chii to Cole, then bravely moves through the door
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* John gets to his feet, dusting himself off.
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> 6 Cole holds her like a baby, glancing out and moving after Lemon.
06[21:05] * 01@Cameron sighs and heads after Lemon.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves forward, and Scott aims toward the Babysphere again as he moves. Yes, Baby.
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Once they get closer to the end of the hallway, a few men would step from the bathysphere area.
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> <Man> You there! Ryan'll want a word with you lot! Come with us!
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott takes aim at one's head, his finger ready to fire if they twitch. "Stay back."
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers back, since Lemon's already gone ahead.
[21:08] <01@Xanatos> <Man> Roight. Stay back he says.
[21:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* The other man snerks, holding a revolver in his hand, eyeing Johna nd Scott.
06[21:09] * 01@Cameron looks over to Lemon slowly, "You feel the bloke close?"
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is waiting for more data on the next answer
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott just keeps his aim locked, apparantly unphased by the comeback, or revolver. He moves back to follow the others. John just keeps an eye on them, not moving to attack or walk anymore
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Once inside the other room, they would hear a recording of a man talking. Kane apparently isn't around, though there appears to be New Year's banners strung up.
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> <Man> Bad move, lad. 6He raises his hand and throws out a bolt of lighting out for Scott.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott fires his gun as the hand is raised, since he was locked on - it's a lethal energy blast between the eyes, if connected. John waves his hand to unleash fire at the others in bcak up
06[21:12] * 01@Cameron frowns and looks about slowly, listening to the recording.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks around the area now, trying to find Kane
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* The man is struck and falls over, but his lightning comes out anyway due to the distance.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She blinks now. "That's odd."
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* There a bar set up and items strewn about. Seems there was a water before.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott shifts, hit in the shoulder. He makes a face. John grabs him and moves after the others.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Cameron now, then around
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* The other man snarls and throws fire out for John, while another steps forward and starts firing after them a swell.
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* There's doors on each wall, but Kane appears to be deeper forward.
[21:14] <01@Cameron> "Very. Can you get a lock on the Professor?"
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* John just rushes forward with Scott, throwing back more flames to cancel out theirs, if possible. If not, he'd take the hit
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I sense a reality signature that matches yours
[21:14] <01@Cameron> "You... what?"
06[21:14] * 01@Cameron looks over at her. "Gabriella...?"
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems unsure. "I do not know."
[21:15] <01@Cameron> "Where is it?"
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon points in the general direction she thinks she feels it
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> <Ryan> In Rapture, all things are possible. A man that is tired of the government taking his hard earned money can seek refuge here. Here you are worth your own weight.
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* It's off to the left.
06[21:15] * 01@Cameron moves where she indicates, beginning to search.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... Kane is that way. 6* She notes softly, pointing forward
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole squints. 1That guy has a funny voice.
[21:16] <01@Cameron> "I'll catch up."
[21:16] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Think my rib's fine now.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... it is dangerous to split up....
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* John and Scott come sliding in. "Being chaaaased."
[21:16] <01@Cameron> "It could be my daughter. You would go after Ben."
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* John runs in the forward direction Lemon is pointing
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole frowns. 1But you're so squishy and fun to hold.
[21:17] <01Kit> <Chii> ...
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and glances over his shoulder, they would indeed hearing screaming.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon goes to say something, then eyes John, then peers back
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sets Chii down.
[21:17] <01Kit> 6Chii squints at Cole. 1"I'm glad I'm hot or I'd regret being born to a petite asian woman so I could deck you harder.
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Your little girl fists wouldn't hurt me kiddo. 6He starts to move after John.
06[21:18] * 01@Cameron continues to the left, driven only by one motivation.
[21:18] <01Kit> <Chii> ...That was my point..
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon follows after John as well, sayin a prayer for Cameron.
[21:18] <01Kit> <Chii> Lem.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott shrugs John off and moves on his own
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Chii
[21:19] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm goin' with the moron.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> But we shouldn't split up even more...
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks crushed and upset
[21:20] <01Kit> <Chii> Two's better than one and I work better with less people given my... atmosphere. But besides that, at least this way you know we should be coming back. I'd be annoyed if we found out it wasn't her and he was just running off into some goose chase that wound up stranding yet another person away from us.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She looks away. "You would not obey me if I told you not to go. I am not Mistress Cheryl after all." 6* She just nods ocne to Chii, then moves on, grimly
[21:21] <01Kit> <Chii> He's right. If it were Ben or Cheryl, we would do the same damn thing. I'll be back." 6She waves.
[21:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Focus on Chii and Cameron *
[21:21] <01Kit> 6Chii holds her side with one arm, making a face, but turns and runs after Cameron.
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cameron and Chii would be in yet another hallway, though this one is open, like a glass tube, the only exit is ahead.
06[21:22] * 01@Cameron doesn't seem to have waited at all, leaving Chii a bit of a run to catch up to him, he doggedly looks ahead, moving ahead without hesitation.
[21:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Coming into the next room, the two would be met with an odd scene. A very large...thing, towers stoicly off to the side, slowly slumbering around.
06[21:24] * 01@Cameron eyes it warily, looking about for his daughter while pulling the spoon out again.
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* The creature seems to have a helmet like an deep see diver, as well as the suit, but is far larger than the average man, Cameron would catch the whispering of his little girl.
[21:25] <01@Cameron> "G-Gabriella? Is that you?"
[21:26] <01Kit> 6Chii finally catches up, panting slightly. 1"Pay 'ttention. We don't have second chances."
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Once they get at the right angle, they would see a little girl kneeled over, jabbing a body with a very long needle.
06[21:27] * 01@Cameron stares slowly, he begins to frown. "Gabriella...?"
[21:27] <01Kit> <Chii> Doubt it.
06[21:28] * 01@Cameron slowly starts to approach. The voice too familiar to deny.
[21:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* The girl jerks her head around, her eyes vacant and pupiless, he shrieks and backs up, it is indeed Gabby.
[21:29] <01Kit> <Chii> Hey, stupid! Are you listening to me?
[21:29] <01@Cameron> "My God... it is her... GABBY! IT'S ME! IT'S DAD!"
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* At the sound of the shriek the Big Daddy's faceplate glows red and he steps forward inbetween the two, brandishing his large drillt owards Cameron.
[21:30] <01Kit> 6Chii draws both guns quickly, showering the diver's helm with bullets.
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* They just ping off.
06[21:30] * 01@Cameron gets a dark look, sudden hatred for this monster filling him as he gives into the voice in the back of his head, he clutches the spoon and it crackles, turning into a saber. "BASTARD."
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* The mammoth swings his drill out to backslap Cameron away.
06[21:32] * 01@Cameron leaps back and snaps his fingers, sending a blast fo fire out at the mammoth diver.
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* The Bid Daddy roars as it's engulfed in flames, rushing towards Cameron with a shoulder ram. He moves faster than anything of his size should.
06[21:35] * 01@Cameron pulls out a notebook, punching it before he's rammed, flying into a wall, as the Big Daddy approaches, the book would flare into a ball lightning, sending a shock forward in an attempt to collide with it. He grins darkly as he slides down the wall, some bones cracking.
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* The Daddy lets out a roar of pain as he's shocked, his body shaking as he's stunned.
[21:36] <01Kit> 6Chii brings her hand up, eyeing the reaction and closes her eyes, murmuring quietly.
06[21:37] * 01@Cameron slaps his hands together, painfully indful of his surroundings as he tosses the saber at the Big Daddy, rocketing it at the Big Daddy like out of gun with air pressure.
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* The saber thrusts through the Daddy with a sickening sound he groans and lumbers forward again.
06[21:39] * 01@Cameron stands, tapping into his crystal as he holds up his hand, sigils on the back snad front of them glowing as he creates a pocket of air and ignights it, pushing it outward again, creating a contained blast. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!"
[21:40] <01Kit> 6Chii opens her eyes and focuses on diver-helmeted freak, peering at the sword. She grins, dropping her hand, darkening the room as she channels the electric strike down and uses the sword for a streaming medium to catch him with all of it. 1"Indignation!"
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* The Big D stumbles back, groaning as he starts to pull himself up, then is struck by the lightning and lets out a loud sound of pain as he shakes, not moving anymore.
06[21:42] * 01@Cameron pants, slowly calming, he looks to Gabby and moves over to her.
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Gabby runs forward quickly, stumbling to fall by his side. 1Mr. Bubbles! Noo! Speak to me!
06[21:42] * 01@Cameron moves over, kneeling down to her. "Gabby..."
[21:43] <01Kit> <Chii> Watch it, dumbass! She uses that thing for a weapon!
[21:43] <01Kit> 6Chii quickly draws her gun, aiming for the syringe.
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> <Gabby> NO. Noo. 6He shoves Cameron away and crawls over to the Big Daddy, sobbing.
[21:43] <01Kit> 6Chii keeps it trained, blinking.
[21:44] <01@Cameron> "Gabriella Cameron." *he moves back over to her, gently putting a hand on her* "I... I'm sorry... it's me, it's Daddy."
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Gabby shrills and stabs at him with the needle, turning to run for a metal hole in the wall.
06[21:45] * 01@Cameron takes it with a grunt, he lunches, grabbing for her. "Don't run! I won't hurt you!"
[21:45] <01Kit> 6Chii fires on the needle, then draws her second gun to try and shoot her in a leg.
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* The girl is shirt and falls to the ground, letting out a cry of pain.
[21:46] <01@Cameron> "CHII!"
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> NRP: shot not shirt.
06[21:46] * 01@Cameron sounds outraged, he picks Gabby up. "God... daughter... my little dove..."
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Gabby shrieks, pushing against him with everything in her. This isn't his littler girl anymore.
06[21:47] * 01@Cameron holds on, taking injury if need be, refusing to let go. "Gabby... please, try to remember, remember me, your mum, our home in London... please Gabriella... please calm down..."
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Gabby continues to fight and push as much as a little girl can.
[21:48] <01Kit> 6Chii snarls loudly, holstering her guns to hold her ears, then stomps over furiously and reaches back, pulling out a vial. She uncorks it, waving it under her nose, swiping her other hand to keep it away from herself and Cameron, a poison to knock her out.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* The girl slumps over.
[21:48] <01Kit> <Chii> We don't have time for this. I don't think it's her, but if you insist, bring her. We need to go.
06[21:49] * 01@Cameron holds her, shaking, he slowly stands holding the girl. "It's her. Whoever did this... I will kill them. I will destroy everything they have..." *his tone is oddly calm, dark and telling*
[21:49] <01Kit> <Chii> Shut the fuck up. We don't have time for that either-- and I don't have enough patience or bullets.
[21:50] <01@Cameron> "...Let's rejoin the others... I need my home reality signature."
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* All is oddly quiet around them now.
[21:50] <01Kit> <Chii> I also can't carry both your fat selves, so don't make me pistol whip your pansy ass.
[21:50] <01@Cameron> "Move Chii." *he says icily, probably very pissed at Chii shooting his daughter*
[21:52] <01Kit> 6Chii twitches incessantly, but peers back, narrowing her eyes. 1"I stayed with you because I understand your motives best-- and although I'm sure I wouldn't listen to a word you say if our roles were reversed-- be advised I'm a selfish bitch. If you disregard me like that again, I'll take your goddamn kidneys for tennis practice." 6She moves back out the way they came.
[21:52] <01@Cameron> "There won't be an again... I'm taking her home." *he moves after her, holding the girl to him*
[21:53] <01Kit> <Chii> Fine with me. Less baggage. But if I find your real kid, I'll show her a good time before we send her back."
[21:53] <01@Cameron> "This is her. It has to be. Lemon will confirm."
[21:53] <01Kit> <Chii> Yeah, yeah.
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> -Scene Switch-
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Lemon and the others also move into one of the open tubes, giving them a better look at the city and the water around them.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers out only briefly, moving along after Kane's crystal, completely disregarding this reality's one. John and Scott do their best to keep up
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole trudges along. 1Hey look, a whale. 6He points up.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers up briefly
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* A whale swims overhead, Lemon would soom come to the next section of building. This one seems to have tiled floor, with stairs off to the side and doors up ahead. Kane's signature is above them.
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> 6They seem to be in a residential section.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at the stairs, then hurries to the stairs quickly. John makes a face at her and hurries up again
02[21:57] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves after them. At the base of the stairs if a box overturned, with a few bibles spilled out.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon steps on them on her way up
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers up as they move up the stairs, theres a stream of water falling from the ceiling and bouncing off a rail at the next level section, then the steps shift around and go up some more.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott eyes the water. "The place is already leaking."
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I REALLY hate water. 6he says with a huff. On the next landing, the stairs go on up, but they can also step out where more doors are, Kane seems to be off to the left.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Kane! 6* She calls out in relief, hurrying over to he door
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* The door is locked, but Kane's signature is inside for sure, there's some talking and a low grown.
03[22:02] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[22:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves over and peers at Lemon. 1I could try to knock it in.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Cole, then nods hurriedly ,stepping back. Scott takes up position, and John waits
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole takes a step back and pulls his hand backward, then thrusts forward to knock the door off of it's hinges, being much weaker than the other door.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hurries in, aiming her hand at the voice that won't match Kane's.
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole makes an ow sound and steps back shaking his hand.
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Lemon would see a large group of people all on the floor, with a man on a stage, Kane is strung beside him unconcious. 1THE body is a work of art in itself. But YOU but find the true spirit inside. 6He says, then shrieks and points forward to lemon. 1How DARE you.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Let Kane go! 6* She shouts coldly, almost completely letting Cheryl's personality influence her
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves in after Lemon, taking up position, and Scott does the same on the other side
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers inside and eyes the people. 1Hoo Boy. Big crowd.
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> <Man> Let him GO. No no, this man will be a masterpiece.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon frowns now, firing at the ground by the man's feet. "He's our friend. Let him go. Now. Or I'll hurt you."
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* The man wears a bunny mask and points forward. 1Stop them.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon twitches, and fires at the man's chest, not wanting to hit the bunny face
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* The crowd rise and turn. The man somehow avoids the shot, running off the stage.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* John gets flames ready on his one hand, then hurls a fire ball at a group to hte left
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh.
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* The group moves forward for the 4, most of them weaponless.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rushes straight at the group, tensing and swingnig her fist for one's jaw, and kicking out at another's gut
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Lemon knocks a person away, then hits another, 2 leap for John. While Cole dives into a pile of them.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* John steps back, then spin kicks at the two as the leap for him, trying to nail them both in one go. Scott fires at legs, going for non lethal shots on the weaponless ones
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hurries forward, trying to reach Kane now
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* 3 leap forward to pin Lemon down.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes them coming in, then taps into the legendary, thrusting her palms forward for two's chest to stop them, if possible
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* John knocks his back and Scott succeeds in bringing them down.
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Lemon also stops hers dead in their tracks.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* John balances on one foot like Lui Kang, then shifts and handsprings ahead to kick at another.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon steps back from the third one, pauses, then knees at his groin
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole knocks his aside and moves forward, when 4 men step out onto the stage, then seem to be more powerful, with blue and red lines arching along them.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes the stage. "Oh look, it's the blue and red teams."
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott eyes, then takes aim at one's head, going for a crackshot at it, testing their reflexes
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head, then one of them leaps forward to tackle him, arching with electricity. Scott's shifts to avoid the shot, being pretty nimble.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Hrm.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots from Cole's head, trying to fire blasts at the slicer
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes the remaining three, narrowing her eyes, she begins to cup her hands together to get energy flowing from both hands to form a bigger ball of energy - using the legendary to overheat her systems, then unleashes it at one
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* The one Scott attacked throws a ball of fire out for him, whilt he one Lemon is attacking suddenly dissappears in a ruffle of leaves.
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cypher hits the splicer a few times and he backs up, throwing out lightning for the spider bot.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott dives to the side and rolls. Cypher squeals like Johnny 5 and goes flying off Cole
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Then he appears behind Lemon and throws out fire for her.
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* The remaining lightning guy jump off the stage and charges John.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon cries out in pain as the fire hits her back, having no tactical suit. She turns and unleashes a blast of plasma energy for the man's face
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes Cypher and growls and runs forward, lightning tackling after the man, knocking him down.
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* The man lets out a cry of shock and is plasma'd falling back, dead.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* John watches the lightning guy charge . He shifts to blur himself, appearing beside the man and throwing out his arm to try to let him smash into his outreached arm
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stumbles forward, twitching a bit with her hands. She leaps for the stage to get to Kane
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* John clotheslines the splicer and he goes flying onto his back.
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Scott's fire guy continue to throw fire out for him. While Kane is still unconcious.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* John flips backwards to land on his, if he doesn't move, aiming for his gut
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott slides along to avoid the fire, twisting and rolling to return fire where he can.
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* John's guy lets out a grunt of pain and slumps over unconcious.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves to Kane, then tries to use her energy to burn the ropes off
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole takes his down and moves over to kneel and check on Cypher. 1You okay buddy?
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cypher shifts to ball mode and rolls toward Cole's hand to be carried
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane falls to the ground, his hands and legs are bound.
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole lifts him up, cradling him up to his chest. 1It'll be alright, we got 'im.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon kneels and works to burn them away, using only one hand for now to do the work; she then grabs a medical needle of nanites to inject Kane with
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks and slowly opens his eyes. 1Nhhhhh.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> You're safe now, Kane. 6* She notes, setting the needle back up, working to steady her hands.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves up to the guy picking at Scott, and attempts to clobber him in the back of the had
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ....yes...sorry.
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* The guy falls forward to his knees, holding his head.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott takes aim as he falls and fires at his chest
[22:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Then he's struck in the chest and falls back, the health bar over his head depleting.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <John> I think that's the last of them.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers about warily, getting to his feet
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon helps Kane to his feet
[22:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once, frowning. 1They caught me by...surprise.
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Think the others are alright?
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon tries to sense their crystals.
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* They're approaching, probably just entering the room outside.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* She takes a moment to see how far away the reality's crystal is at
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* It's still a ways in the direction they came.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> They're about to rejoin us
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes a moment to sit, looking tired, making a face at her burnt back
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and kneels. 1You're injured. 6He reaches into a pouch to pull otu some nanites.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers back - some of her hair is a bit crisp at the bottom. She looks sad about that more than anything
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head, waiting for Cameron and Chii to show up
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole steps outside and yells out for Chii and Cameron, to show them where they are.
06[22:29] * 01@Cameron steps in, grim faced, holding Gabby in his arms, the look in his eyes somewhere between desperation and burning rage. "Here."
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers at Gabby, making a face at her appearance.
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Here. This will make it better. 6He injects the nanites, and then pulls out a patch to apply it to her back, just in case.
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and tilts his head. 1What's wrong with her?
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon offers a smile, then peers over at Cameron and Gabby, looking shocked.
[22:30] <01Kit> <Chii> I don't think it's her, but if it is, he's fucked.
06[22:30] * 01@Cameron clutches her, shaking, "I don't know... they did something... someone made her into this... it looks like... like..."
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances up and then frowns at the sight of her. 1Hmmm.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes Chii, a look of disbelief at her callous words, then at Gabby. "Your signatures match."
06[22:31] * 01@Cameron looks down at her, holding her close. "She can't remember me... she's changed... become this..."
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* John grimaces. "This place is seriously messed up."
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I have a datapad. Perhaps we should scan her.
06[22:32] * 01@Cameron looks at Lemon. "I need the address for my reality, whatever happens, we won't be syncing with you again." *he nods as he places her down gently, keeping a hand on her, afraid she'll run off*
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon motions Cameron over, warily, looking upset at the sight of Gabby - probably because she was hoping the girl would be safe.
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his chin slowly, eyeing the girl.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon begins to scan her. "I'll take you back to your reality, while the others go to the island to see if Jennifer is there."
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole frowns. 1What'd they do her anyway?
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <John> Looks like experimented on her.
[22:33] <01@Cameron> "It looks like... like a chemical infusion... like they've poisoned her."
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Gross. Freak.
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> NRP: Freaky*
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Lemon wouldn't find anything until she moves over the stomach, it seems something is there.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks, eyeing the readings. "There is ... something in her stomach."
[22:34] <01@Cameron> "What...?"
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> A creature.
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and then eyes the reading too. 1Odd.
06[22:34] * 01@Cameron starts to draw a circle, one that wasn't in any of his books. "...C-Can it be removed safely?"
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> A creature!?
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I---don't know. 6* She eyes the datapad scans, trying to figure that out, since she's no doctor
[22:35] <01@Cameron> "That girl... if she was here... God damned..."
[22:35] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You're right. It's moving. But it seemd attached. Right here. 6He kneels to points down at her stomach in the center.
[22:36] <01Kit> <Chii> You're going to do what you have to, so get it over with.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Chii once.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott keeps a look out for more freaks as they talk, looking non-vested
06[22:36] * 01@Cameron stares at his daughter, gently moving her into the circle. "HUman transmutation... could fix it..."
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> What does that do?
[22:36] <01Kit> <Chii> Breaks the laws of life.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> <John> Bad stuff
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I could try to extract it with my medical supplies. 6* She notes to Cameron.
06[22:37] * 01@Cameron looks over at him. "...We did it before... to keep her alive when nothing else could fix her."
[22:37] <01@Cameron> "...Alright, try it first... try to help her."
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon closes her eyes, trying to fall back on what Jen taught her, but that was mostly molesting unconscious patients to keep them alive.
[22:38] <01Kit> <Chii> Yeah, and I pulled it off, if you want to call it that-- but it permanently fused Cheryl's soul to my own and knocked ten years off my immortal biological clock. If you don't need to do it that way, don't try.
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes Chii oddly, since no one was talking about that.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> If we were to numb the creature, could we cut it out? 6* Seh asks Kane htoughtfully
06[22:38] * 01@Cameron looks at his daughter. "I said we... me and my wife, we tried it."
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It seems possible. Perhaps sedate it so that it won't try to flee deeper into her system.
[22:39] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes Cole just as oddly, since she was talking to Cameron.
[22:39] <01@Cameron> "It killed her... her life exchanged for Gabriella's..."
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods, then takes out a needle, and positions it over the girl's gut
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> <John> Killing yourself won't do her any good. Then she'll have no one.
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane holds the scanner for her.
06[22:40] * 01@Cameron nods slowly, but it still seems to him, his life is less important then Gabriella's.
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> <John> What I'm saying is think about the pain it'll cause her to live alone without you - probably in a time that she knows no one due to the time difference
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon injects the needle into her stomach slowly, and the creature, then pushes the numbing agents in
[22:41] <01@Cameron> "She knows no one now... you watched me kill her only remaining blood relatives."
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yeah, ignore my point.
[22:41] <01@Cameron> "I se your point."
[22:41] <01Kit> <Chii> Like I said, if you want to argue with bullets, I got one right here.
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* The creatue jerks, but slowly goes stiff, through Gabby twitched, Kane pauses and quickly gives her another sedative, since Chii's knockout gas might not numbt he pain.
06[22:42] * 01@Cameron gently holds his daughter down. "Gabby..."
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon scans to see if the creature is alive, or dead
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* It seems to be alive, but it's stiff, so the agent must've worked.
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You have anger issues, kiddo.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon grabs a knife
[22:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Duh.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <John> I just hope if Ben is in this shape, people don't hurl such lines at you when you're under stress and upset.
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Chillax. You're tough shit. Stop trying to prove it to everyone.
[22:43] <01Kit> <Chii> Wh-Whatever.
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane holds up the datapad again for Lemon, so she knows where to cut.
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon's hand shakes from the stress she put it under earlier, so she uses the legendary to calm her nerves, then begins to cut into Gabby's flesh, working on making enough of an incension to reach the slug
06[22:44] * 01@Cameron watches with the stressed care of any loving parent. Ready at a moments notice to use the seal under them.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* John waits, calmly, but it's clear he'll move to take Cameron out first before he can, judging by the slight stiffness to his body language
[22:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes the knife when she's finished, playing the nurse's role.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon reaches into Gabby's stomach, looking ill and upset at all the blood, but focused. She grips something and begins to remove it
[22:45] <01@Xanatos> 6*It tugs. Still attached.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon uses the plasma energy in her hand to slowly burn at it as she pulls
06[22:45] * 01@Cameron tenses a little, eyes widening as he watches.
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* There's a slight pop and Lemon's hand comes free. Kane holds out a sealant object for this type of wound.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes the creature, then tosses it away from them in disgust, looking more ill now. She takes the sealant and works to seal up Gabby
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane then holds up a towel for the blood.
06[22:47] * 01@Cameron continues to watch, to him this isn't over until he sees his daughter well again.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes the towel shakely, wiping at her hands, quivering
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane puts a hand on her shoulder. 1Her vitals peaked slightly, but they've went back to normal. I think she'll be fine.
[22:48] <01@Cameron> "Alright... is it safe to move her?"
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <John> Staying here probably isn't a good idea. More enemies might come.
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> She needs a hospital. 6He notes.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Does your reality have good hospitals, Mr. Cameron?
[22:50] <01@Cameron> "The Americans do... for our time."
[22:50] <01Kit> <Chii> In other words, no.
[22:50] <01@Cameron> "If it's still our time... and there is an America... what the lass said."
06[22:50] * 01@Cameron gently lifts the girl up, cradling her.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gives Gabby a nanite shirt
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> *shot
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> This should help her
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane stands and rubs his chin. 1You could see if the island has any healing supplies.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> <John> The island. That had nothing
[22:51] <01@Cameron> "The girl will be thre, right?"
[22:51] <01@Cameron> "She's a walking hospital."
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I have the same supplies as Jennifer
[22:52] <01@Cameron> "She has holy magic."
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> True. It would be risky going to wherever you go.
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> We don't even know if she'll be there, guys.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rises to her feet now, checking on Gabby again, then shakes her head. "I do not want to waste more time, I am afraid - and multiple jumps could be bad for her. I will take yo uback to yoru reality, Cameron, while the others go to the island."
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'll leave you with three more nanite shots, however.
[22:53] <01Kit> <Chii> We're just as likely to run into the ripple girls and their pet dog. They have the wing girl.
06[22:53] * 01@Cameron nods slowly. "Alright... Ill bring her to a doctor I know... he might be able to help."
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> The shots alone should bring her back to her herself, though I imagine if she remembers anything, she'll be scarred.
[22:53] <01Kit> <Chii> No matter where we go-- there's a chance we'll run into someone who can help her-- and just as likely we don't.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon waves Chii over
[22:53] <01@Cameron> "She's alright... that's all that matters."
[22:54] <01Kit> 6Chii tilts her head, then walks over to Lemon
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers at the scene taking place by looking over his shoulder.
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers at Cypher still in his hand, then moves over and puts his elbow on Scott.
[22:54] <01@Cameron> "Lemon."
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes Chii's device, then inputs the jump destination into it. "Make sure everyone is touching you since you can't synch."
06[22:54] * 01@Cameron looks at her. A bit of light back in his eyes.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at Cameron
[22:54] <01Kit> <Chii> Huh?
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes, Mr. Cameron?
[22:55] <01@Cameron> "Tell yours, if you see her again, I said to watch her head."
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks with no comprehensin
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and moves over to touch Chii.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* John plops a hand on Chii's head; Scott touches Cole still
[22:55] <01Kit> <Chii> I can't synch?
[22:55] <01@Cameron> "Your Gabriella." *he smiles a bit, able to say it now*
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Okay. I will tell her -- to watch her head.
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You cannot sync us all. Your device has the coordinate to the island. 6He reaches out to touch Chii's shoulder.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yeah, only Kane and Lemon and Cheryl's devices synched.
[22:56] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Then shouldn't I just grab onto Lemon?
06[22:56] * 01@Cameron holds his daughter close.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <John> She just said she was taking Cameron home first
[22:56] <01Kit> 6Chii makes a face as everyone clutters around and on her.
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole chuckles. 1She doesn't listen.
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Scott. You don't want to be left here, do you?
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott pats Cole, who is touching Chii.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I won't be
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. My mistake.
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods to Lemon, showing that they're ready.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves over to touch Cameron, pulling up his reality from her save files. "I'll be right to the island - hopefully the time difference is slim."
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon taps her device and jumps.
[22:58] <01Kit> <Chii> ...So I hit mine, now?
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yep.
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes.
[22:58] <01Kit> 6Chii grumbles and reaches over to tap her's.
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's a flash and the group appears on a familiar island
[22:59] <01Kit> <Chii> Okay, okay. Off! OFF!
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and steps back.
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* John squeezes Chii's ass and steps away. He peers about. "JENNIFER?"
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott steps away from Cole ,eyeing the island
[22:59] <01Kit> 6Chii jumps forward slightly with a squeak.
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances around, looking for her.
[23:00] <01@Cameron> * Jennifer creeps out from behind a tree, leaning out and staring at them. She looks a bit older, having matured a bit in the time she's been seperated. She stares at them. "...Hey."
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The whole four months and all
[23:00] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Why was she behind a tree?
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane stares, tilting his head. 1Her hair is longer.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers over. "She made it." 6* He sounds relieved.
[23:01] <01Kit> <Chii> I wonder if she's matured any.
[23:01] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> So what's so special about this place? 6He peers around.
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott shifts to move off and sit down to relax
06[23:02] * 01@Cameron smiles a bit, looking a little awkward. "You all okay? You seem to be missing people."
[23:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* The giant tree shifts and begins to talk. 1Why I ammm, of course. 6Cole pauses, freaked out.
[23:02] <01@Cameron> * Jennifer
03[23:02] * Cameron is now known as Jennifer
[23:02] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Lemon should be along shortly. 6He notes, crossing his arms.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <John> Shortly being relative.
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <John> Why'd she see the guy off again?
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> As usual.
06[23:03] * 01@Jennifer sighs with relief. "Good... that guy...? Oh, Cameron's missing too."
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Maybe she felt sorry for him and wanted to make sure he didn't screw the kid up?
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yeah, he said to keep your head on or something
06[23:03] * 01@Jennifer frowns. "Bastard."
[23:04] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I don't get it.
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <John> Me either
[23:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around and then moves over to a pond, kneeling to take a drink.
06[23:04] * 01@Jennifer shrugs it off. "Never mind! So... I have some news for you guys."
[23:04] <01Kit> <Chii> You had a period?
06[23:04] * 01@Jennifer frowns. "No, why I got seperated."
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* John gets a curious look. "Do you have periods, Chii?"
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> <John> Does Lemon? Cheryl?
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Ninjas don't get period, man.
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> NRP: periods*
[23:05] <01Kit> 6Chii jerks, eyeing the two.
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane walks back over, eyeing Jennifer. 1Did you accidentally jump?
06[23:05] * 01@Jennifer sighs a bit, frowning as she watches the two.
[23:05] <01@Jennifer> "No, Tsuki pulled me to another reality."
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Key? She has the ability?
[23:06] <01@Jennifer> "Then brought me back, I guess the time difference was extreme, you'd been gone for months."
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once, rubbing his chin slowly, glancing down,
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* John gets a curious look. "How'd she find you, I wonder."
[23:06] <01@Jennifer> "No idea how, X, Lilith and Raquel were with her, for the few moments that I was there."
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Guess they still haven't found Dias.
[23:07] <01@Jennifer> "Didn't see him. Haven't seen much of anyone besides Mr. Tree."
06[23:07] * 01@Jennifer peers back at the tree.
[23:08] <01@Xanatos> <Tree> Aaand she stilll doesn't uuuse my naaame.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* John plops down. "Well, I guess we should just get comfortable. If you've been here for months, the time difference could bite."
06[23:08] * 01@Jennifer leans back against a tree. "I'm still a little hyped, only halfway through today's excersizes."
[23:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and steps off to the side to sit down.
[23:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole plops down and holds Cypher up. 1You alright buddy?
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> <Cyphyr> Beep bloop
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Many hours pass by. As the sun begins it's descent toward evening, there's a flash of light. Lemon has returned
[23:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers up, getting to his feet.
[23:09] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Did everything go okay?
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon holds Cameron's wrist device in one hand.
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks up, then nods. "Yes. I have Cameron's device to replace your damaged one for now."
[23:10] <01Kit> 6Chii snoozes on her stomach over by the tree
[23:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sleeps, with Cypher on his chest.
06[23:10] * 01@Jennifer smiles when she sees Lemon, waving.
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Lemon moves over to hold it out ot Kane
[23:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods, 1Thank you. 6He takes it and puts it on, putting the damaged one away.
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks relieved at seeing Jennifer
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> So you made it. I'm glad.
06[23:11] * 01@Jennifer hops up to her feet. "I'm glad to see you too." *she smiles*
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Kane. "Has everyone rested? We could jump now if you all feel up to it." 6* Judging by her state, it's only been about 20 minutes for her.
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You were injured. We'll take some time for you to rest, okay?
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm fine, really. I'm eager to continue
[23:12] <01@Jennifer> "I've been here for four months... I can wait a bit longer if needed."
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns. 1It's your decision.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods, then looks about at everyone. "Um, everyone wake up, please."
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* John sits up with a yawn. Scott peers back at the group
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole snores still.
[23:13] <01Kit> 6Chii mumbles something, then turns her head the other way.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sighs. "Kane, could you help me wake them?"
[23:13] <01@Jennifer> "Umm... if we're going now, lemme grab my stuff."
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over and kneels by Cole, nudging him, who snorts and jekrs forward, barely catching Cypher.
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* John hops to his feet and moves over to Chii, tugging her tail
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then pets it sensually.
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cypher bloops and eyes floats at Kane like an annoyed ball
[23:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane stands and peers over to Lemon now.
06[23:15] * 01@Jennifer hops to it, grabbing her things from some trees and she moves over to the great tree. "Oh Daiki."
[23:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole slowly gets to his foot, letting out a yawn. 1Heya Lem.
[23:15] <01@Xanatos> <Tree> Hmmmmmm?
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles at Kane, then begins to randomly select a reality, and synch them. John holds onto Chii's tail, petting it, since it's enough he's touching her
[23:15] <01@Jennifer> "We're going now... thanks for your company for so long."
[23:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole groggily moves over to put a hand on Scott.
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott gets to his feet and moves over to touch Cole. He eyes Lemon's back, frowning, but doesn't comment on setting out.
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> <Tree> Seee you soooon.
06[23:16] * 01@Jennifer smiles and bows. "Soon for you Daiki. I'll miss you."
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> <Tree> Goodbyeee.
06[23:17] * 01@Jennifer smiles and walks over to the others. "I'm ready."
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods. John picks up Chii, cuddling her as he pets the tail, a grin on his face. Lemon taps the button and they all vanish
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> Location: Fallen Reality
[23:17] <01Kit> 6Chii sits up slowly, rubbing her eyes. She giggles a little. 1"Ah, I love it when you do that, Lem.
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* More months have passed. Team X arrives
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks around, frowning. "We need to find out where the stupid girl went."
[23:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Raquel. "Any ideas?"
[23:19] <01Ariel> Raquel> *nods, looking around* "...short of asking the locals? Not a clue."
[23:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* X makes a face. "Who would remember her?"
[23:19] <01Ariel> Raquel> "She's not easily forgotten."
[23:19] <01@DeathStar> <X> Says you.
[23:20] <01Ariel> Raquel> "You didn't forget her."
[23:20] <01@DeathStar> <X> Because she left that guitar with us. 6* She notes sullenly.
[23:20] <01Kit> <Lilith> Honestly, mistress." 6She sighs.
[23:20] <01Ariel> Raquel> "What is the term... easier said than done?"
[23:20] <01Kit> <Lilith> If was retrieved from here, that would say the others were here as well originally, right?
[23:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* X peers at the castle now. "Yes. We should just go ask them if they know anything."
[23:21] <01Kit> <Lilith> They probably sought help. We were associated with the royalty here, once.
[23:21] <01@DeathStar> <X> Right. 6* She motions Lilith to get the guards attention. "Ask them about the others and if they knew were they went."
[23:22] <01Kit> 6Key goes running by squealing-- to be stopped by spear-pointing guards at the gates to the palace courtyard. Lilith nods to X, walking over, but by then she has weapons lowered at her as well.
[23:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* X follows Lilith, arms crossed, eyeing the guards. "We want to speak to your leader."
[23:23] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel steps over, holding her hands up, "We come in peace."
[23:23] <01Kit> <Soldier> That sure happens a lot, lately.
[23:23] <01Kit> <Second> I think we have had more visitors to the palace in the last year than the last ten.
[23:24] <01@DeathStar> <X> We want to speak to them about a girl that came here. 6* She describes Jen and the others with them
[23:24] <01Kit> <Soldier> Eh. Doesn't ring a bell.
[23:24] <01@DeathStar> <X> See, Raquel?
[23:24] <01Ariel> Raquel> "She has a habit of being very annoying."
[23:24] <01Kit> <Second> Sounds plain and common.
[23:24] <01@DeathStar> <X> She also will sex up guys because she is attention starved whore
[23:24] <01Kit> <Soldier> You sure it was a visitor to the regentess?
[23:25] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Over inflated sense of self importance."
[23:25] <01@DeathStar> <X> Yes. She was part of our group when we saved your reality. I believe some woman leads this place.
[23:25] <01Kit> <Soldier> Well, we haven't had any concubines since the queen was exiled... I guess it wouldn't hurt to check though. Gosh, you think the regentess swings that way?
[23:25] <01@DeathStar> <X> I pity her, then.
[23:26] <01Kit> <Second> Shh! She's still too young to gossip like that, jeez." 6He walks off to head inside.
[23:26] <01@DeathStar> <X> Hm, while we're here, we should get Tsukiyomi some crab. This was her first reality to have it
[23:27] <01Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then whirls around and pulls her sword out and parries a strike from a lance behind them.
[23:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks back
[23:27] <01Kit> 6The red-haired elf stares. 1"Huh, it was her."
[23:27] <01Kit> <Ayame> What're you guys doing here?
[23:28] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Looking for our companions."
[23:28] <01Kit> <Ayame> They left months ago.
[23:28] <01@DeathStar> <X> We'd like to know where to
[23:29] <01Kit> <Ayame> ...I don't know-- but come, I'm sure Reis does." 6She rubs her neck, shouldering the special lance. The guard stares, wondering how Lilith parried the attack from nowhere, but steps aside.
[23:29] <01Kit> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:29] <01Kit> Location: Reception Hall
[23:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* X peers about
[23:30] <01Kit> 6Reis eyes the four, especially Key, who runs about yanking on the tapestries. She twitches.
[23:31] <01Kit> <Reis> You all need to leave, immediately.
[23:31] <01@DeathStar> <X> Give us the reality address and we will
[23:31] <01Kit> 6Reis sets her tome down on the long table and sighs, flipping through to a back page where she wrote it down for Jennifer. 1"If you're looking for the nursemaid, she went here."
[23:32] <01Kit> <Lilith> Key. Key! Tsukiyomi! ....ngh."
[23:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* X walks over and eyes it carefully, then begins to input it into her device. "Can we have some crab while we're here?"
[23:32] <01Kit> <Reis> ...Crab?
[23:32] <01Kit> 6Key pauses, turning at mention of crab.
[23:32] <01@DeathStar> <X> Yes, crab.
[23:33] <01Kit> 6Key runs over, smiling brightly. Reis twitches at her. 1"...Ah. Yes... Ayame..." 6The elf jerks, then eyes Reis and nods, making a face as she's sent off on such an errand.
[23:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* X nods, satisfied at their treatment. "There, we now know where the stupid brat went, and we have food for the trip there."
[23:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* X nods to Raquel
[23:34] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Well... at least we have some direction for now."
[23:34] <01Kit> 6An attendant enters the room, looking nervous and like they just ran twelve flights of stairs.
[23:34] <01Kit> <Messenger> Majesty, it's been spotted..!
[23:34] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel gives a small smile, having been getting a little disheartened over lack of progress
[23:34] <01Kit> 6Reis facepalms.
[23:34] <01@DeathStar> <X> Spotted? It?
[23:35] <01Kit> <Reis> That's all, you're dismissed." 6The attendant gulps, then leaves. Reis eyes them. 1"When Ayame gets back, you're to leave immediately, alright? That ...girl." 6She peers at Tsukiyomi. 1"The past's remnants attract the dragon. Otherwise he leaves us alone."
[23:35] <01Kit> <Reis> I'm not saying you're unwelcome, but unless you plan on performing another heroic act and ridding us of it, we're fine if you leave before it causes harm.
[23:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Raquel and Lilith to see what they think
[23:36] <01@DeathStar> <X> Dias would fight it
[23:36] <01Kit> 6Tsukiyomi mimics Reis' stern looks.
[23:36] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...might be best. We can't take it on our own, if it's that much trouble."
[23:37] <01Kit> 6Reis jerks, blinking at Key and then at X saying something unexpected.
[23:38] <01@DeathStar> <X> I'm sure we could beat it. We're Weapons, a Key, and an Inugami
[23:38] <01Kit> <Reis> ...The others. They were interested in the technology that comes from the places this girl was found. If you can rid us of Eikoudan, then I already agreed that you all could take it.
03[23:38] * Jackieness (Psy@h145.165.18.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
[23:39] <01Kit> 6Ayame enters with a platter, sighing, then pauses, eyeing the exchange. Reis softens some, her tone losing some of the haughtiness for once. 1"You needn't fight it right away, since it will stop if she leaves, but... we would all appreciate it, being rid of our last Limitation."
[23:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* X considers. "I say we fight." 6* She seems to have made up her mind
[23:40] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X, "The other dangers of this world often required all of us to take them down... are you sure?"
[23:40] <01Kit> <Key> ...Fight..?" 6She tilts her head, eyeing X.
[23:40] <01@DeathStar> <X> Yes. I'm sure. Do you doubt our powers?
[23:41] <01Ariel> Raquel> "No. I am aware that underestimating the enemy is a grave tactical error though."
[23:42] <01@DeathStar> <X> Then we will not underestimate the enemy. Come, Lilith, let us study it as it approaches. 6* She moves off now
[23:42] <01Kit> <Lilith> If it proves too much, as she says, we could leave and escape.
[23:43] <01Kit> 6Reis stares, a bit in shock. Ayame grumbles. 1"Should I put this on salt?"
[23:43] <01Kit> 6Key has a contemplative look, but follows along behind Lilith, neutral as always.
