[20:03] <01@DeathStar> Reality Day 50ish
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> Location: Japanese Hotel in Rural Area
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* A meeting, after only 2 days recovering time, is set up to take place to go over how the team plans to proceed and learn more about the origin, and nature, of the corruption, as well as the hunt for the Legendary crystals.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is already in the tea room, no longer wearing the glove on her one hand, which looks better, if slightly redder than her other, and Cheryl, drinking sake beside her
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane is already present, quietly drinking from a tea cup.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* John quietly reads a magazine at the table, tilting his head
06[20:05] * 01@Jennifer steps in, looking rested but meeker then usual, she slips over to the table, taking a seat.
[20:05] <01Dias`> 6Dias slides his head next to John's tilting his at the same angle
[20:05] <01Kit> 6Chii cartwheels back and forth behind the two, taking a few swipes and kicking high after each.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* X slams Dias face into the table
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon jerks her head up in surprise at the violence
[20:06] <01Dias`> 6Dias head snaps back and he takes a step back, his finger pointed up then falls over onto the floor
[20:06] <01Kit> <Lilith> Mistress, not so early in the morning..
06[20:06] * 01@Jennifer blinks and stares at X and Dias.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> <X> He was looking at nude women.
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole steps into to watch the slamming and tilts his head, he clicks his tongue slightly and moves to take a seat.
[20:06] <01Kit> <Lilith> Shame on you, Dias.
01[20:06] <01@Jennifer> "O-Oh..."
03[20:06] * Ariel is now known as Raquel
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott steps in and eyes the chaos, taking a seat silently. Drake moves in with some left over pancakes that he made to share, but no one showed up. He sets them down quietly
[20:07] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks up and onto his feet, his head shaking furiously as he shakes off the hit.
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* X sits down, looking pissed
06[20:08] * 01@Jennifer returns to looking demurely at the table, sitting back a little.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I guess we can begin. We should probably go over what we planned to do
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane places the tea cup on the table and then glances to CHeryl and Lemon, apparently oblivious to the chaos that is Dias and X.
06[20:08] * 01Raquel sits quietly at the table, rubbing her head. Having a bit of a headache from the commotion
[20:08] <01Kit> 6Key squeals, running into the room and hopping up onto the tea table, doing a piroette.
06[20:09] * 01@Jennifer looks up, giving Cheryl and Lemon her full attention.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses to stare at Key
06[20:09] * 01@Jennifer slowly turns and looks at Key.
[20:09] <01Dias`> 6Dias plops down in a seat beside X, his hand rubbing his forehead furiously
[20:09] <01Kit> 6Lilith reaches out and yanks her off the table, holding her by the collar. "1Please continue."
[20:09] <01Kit> 6Key makes faces at Lilith.
06[20:10] * 01@Jennifer giggles a bit and looks back at Cheryl and Lemon.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Mr. John has agreed to try to inflitrate what enemy realities he can to see if he can learn more about what our enemy knows about the Corruption.
[20:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to John slightly and then back to Lemon.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yeah. It'll probably fail, so I'm only willing to take a small number of people with me. They must be sexy and well equipped.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* John nods sagely ,closing his magazine
06[20:12] * 01@Jennifer blushes a bit. She keeps looking at Lemon and Cheryl.
[20:12] <01Kit> <Lilith> By 'well-equipped' you mean well-endowed?
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Question.
[20:12] <01Dias`> <Dias> Do I have either?
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> <John> I mean nice breasts.
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Cole
[20:12] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers down at his ches and let's out a sigh as he leans back in his seat
[20:12] <01Kit> <Lilith> Ah, so Dias qualifies.
06[20:12] * 01Raquel rubs her head more.
06[20:12] * 01@Jennifer bites her lip.
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ...yeah okay no more questions. When do we leave?
[20:13] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers at Lilith. 1"You saying I have nice breasts?
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Mr. John has agreed to take Key with him. 6* She notes, continuing slowly
[20:13] <01Kit> <Key> ...!" 6She stares.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes John now, then Dias, as if waiting for him to object
[20:13] <01Kit> <Lilith> Mistress finds Dias sexy and for a man he has nice breasts befitting a fighter. So yes, I believe he qualifies.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Drake rubs the back of his head
[20:14] <01Kit> 6Key cheers, throwing her hands up. Lilith sighs.
01[20:14] <01@Jennifer> "Key can save point him to safety, right...?" *she offers in a tone where she's trying to be helpful*
06[20:14] * 01Dias` quickly looks at John now with a confused look. 1"You want to bring her with...Into enemy territory...Where she doesn't know the meaning of sneak or quiet?
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <John> What better person to take? They'll be focused on her
[20:14] <01Kit> 6Key scoffs at Dias, then snaps her fingers, changing her outfit into a pink version of Chii's. Chii stops her antics to turn and gape.
[20:14] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Luckily I proved to Lemon that I can be very sneaky.
[20:15] <01Dias`> <Dias> She had her arm blown off.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <John> And now it's back on. Win win.
[20:15] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm just saying, I think it's a bad idea.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <John> You're saying that because of your girl. 6* He notes.
[20:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head and then clears his throat slightly. 1I think he is simply upset you did not ask him first.
06[20:15] * 01@Jennifer rubs her head. "Cole seems to want to go."
[20:15] <01Dias`> <Dias> No, I'm saying it because it's a bad idea.
[20:15] <01Kit> 6Key puffs her cheeks a bit. 1"Key wants save people, too."
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <John> Clearly. Since he can't sneak either last time I checked.
[20:16] <01Kit> 6Key then points at Dias and scoffs. 1"Shut up, crabman!"
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* X crosses her arms
01[20:16] <01@Jennifer> "I can sneak alright..." *she looks down*
[20:16] <01Dias`> <Dias> I wouldn't go, because you need a small group. If I went, X would go, Lilith would go and so would Key. Too many people to be small.
[20:16] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm probably the best at it when someone doesn't piss me off in the process.
[20:16] <01Dias`> <Dias> Oh and Drake.
[20:16] <01Kit> 6Lilith peers at Drake on that one.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <X> Which is always. 6* She tells Chii
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You think they'd all follow after you? Arrogant of you.
[20:17] <01Dias`> <Dias> I know X would follow me, and the others would follow in order.
01[20:17] <01@Jennifer> "You should stay with Cheryl at any rate Chii." *she rubs her head more*
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <X> I wouldn't follow you because you're not going. You're staying where I stay.
04[20:17] <01Kit> <Chii> You don't see me offering, do you?" 6She glares at Jennifer.
01[20:17] <01@Jennifer> "No... Chii..." *she sighs*
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Technically this is John's decision. So we should all simply be quiet and let him announce who he is taking.
[20:18] <01Dias`> <Dias> Key may be able to warp around, but she's inexperienced and you're bringing her into something that requires experience.
06[20:18] * 01@Jennifer glances at John queitly.
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Experience like say...saving a group of your allies from a prison.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <John> I'm just taking Key and Cole. And I have my reasons for both - reasons I don't need to explain to you, Dias, seeing as I've been doing this longer than you
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and sits back smiling, apparently content with that decision.
[20:19] <01Dias`> <Dias> That's fine, I'm just saying what I thought.
[20:19] <01Kit> 6Key eyes Cole angrily.
06[20:19] * 01@Jennifer smiles a bit and sighs, she looks over at Cole.
[20:19] <01Raquel> "Can you at least assure us you'll do your best to look out for her?"
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Wait. Cypher's coming with me. We're a 2 man package you know.
[20:19] <01Kit> <Lilith> He always does.
01[20:19] <01@Jennifer> "That's a given though... right?"
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <John> She's too valuable to let get killed, truuuust me. 6* He waves his hand
[20:20] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> It is? Yeah probably.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots from Cole's head, in hat mode
[20:20] <01Kit> <Lilith> Why is... that?
[20:20] <01Kit> 6Key tilts her head, then smiles, blushing.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> <John> That's to be seen after I train her a bit.
01[20:20] <01@Jennifer> "Sensei knows what he's doing... he's infiltrated places more times then... ...we've never actually infiltrated, have we?"
[20:21] <01Kit> <Chii> I have,
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <X> Sure you have.
06[20:21] * 01Dias` looks over at X. 1"X."
[20:21] <01Kit> <Chii> I have! Even with you guys... then I got diced by lasers.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* X reaches a hand up as if to smack Dias
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon grimaces a bit
[20:21] <01Dias`> <Dias> Don't antagonize her, it just keeps her going.
[20:22] <01Kit> <Chii> At least Dias is learning.
[20:22] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If everyone will settle down, we can continue. Or else we can all just sit and bicker a bit longer.
[20:22] <01Dias`> <Dias> Chii, that's enough yourself
06[20:22] * 01@Jennifer looks down again.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes the sake, setting it down. "The rest of us need to decide how to proceed. Lemon and I both agree we can't stop looking for crystals, but at the same time, we need to learn more about the nature of the corruption as well."
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> So which do we put our main focus on?
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> We were considering perhaps entering a reality likely to be attacked next, to see what draws the corruption - complete destruction, legendary crystals, or regular ones. It would be risky
01[20:24] <01@Jennifer> "I still think the Legendaries and the Corruption are linked."
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> But it would help understand what it seek, I believe, to see it in action, than in theory, or thought.
[20:24] <01Dias`> <Dias> We have a certain reality in mind already?
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Our reality did not have a legendary and yet it was attacked. I believe this idea of reconassance is a good one.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> If the corruption moves from reality link to link, we can attempt to guess which of the realities will be attacked
[20:25] <01Dias`> We'll just have to hope time flows in our favor.
01[20:25] <01@Jennifer> "Are we certain it's looking for something related to the crystals?"
04[20:25] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Jennifer. That's the point of this. Are you not listening?
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snaps
[20:26] <01Dias`> I'd say it's fair to assume so. It appears to show up near where we do, which is close to a crystal
01[20:26] <01@Jennifer> "I... no I just..." *she looks down* "I am... I was just wondering since crystals and total destruction were the choices if it couldn't be something entirely out of that line of thought..."
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And we won't find out until we investigate, so save the questions so Lemon can finish.
01[20:26] <01@Jennifer> "Okay."
06[20:26] * 01Dias` leans back slightly, musing about something
06[20:27] * 01@Jennifer doesn't move her eyes off the table.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon clears her throat, then attempts to speak her next line. "The third group will continue the main objective of looking for crystals. When we are all done, we will meet at a safe reality."
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I'm sorry, third group?
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> We will not need everyone to investigate the corruption, and time is against us as our enemy wants the legendaries as well.
[20:28] <01Kit> <Chii> My guess is Kane is on the research team. ..Naturally I'd be on a crystal search.
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once, clearly thinking about the idea of three groups.
06[20:28] * 01Raquel glances at X and Lilith, wondering if they'll have to split up
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I will be leading the team going to look into the corruption, as I have the legendaries.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And I'm sane enough to do our basic mission, so.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* X frowns in thought about which she wants on
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It is simply a matter of who goes where, then? Chii is right, I would best fit with a research-like role.
[20:29] <01Kit> <Chii> Lem won't be with us..?" 6She sulks a bit.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can always join her, I-ta-ta.
[20:30] <01Kit> <Chii> Then I might miss an esper. Tch.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. I'd prefer the corruption team be smaller, simply because we don't know what dangers the other team will encounter, but it is a matter of choice.
[20:30] <01Kit> <Chii> How do we detect the crystals without Lem, though?
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pours herself more sake.
[20:31] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm sure they've figured it out otherwise they wouldn't split up like this
[20:31] <01Kit> <Chii> Which would be why I asked.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We worked on that - I have her device and she's helped intregrate the systems with my stone and crystals
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> And I have Mistress Cheryl's device.
06[20:31] * 01@Jennifer looks up again and between them all.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Plus my time with Warren has helped me feel our crystals.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> *out
[20:32] <01Kit> <Chii> Oh, I see. You two are compatible, haa.
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes, in many ways.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* X snorts
06[20:32] * 01Raquel blinks at that, trying to grasp the idea of the two swapping equipment
06[20:32] * 01@Jennifer sighs a bit.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the device on her wrist, then Raquel, oddly, since anyone can swap
01[20:33] <01@Jennifer> "I'll stick with the research team."
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're with me.
04[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tells Jennifer simply.,
[20:33] <01Kit> <Chii> What?!
[20:33] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well I'm only a genius at fighting so...
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <I don't want her with Lemon.>
06[20:34] * 01@Jennifer looks a bit worried now.
[20:34] <01Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She eyes Cheryl. 1<Great, so Kane gets some alone time..>
04[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Kane would never do such a thing, and even if he did, I'd approve of that over Jennifer distracting Lemon and getting her killed.>
[20:34] <01Raquel> "I... should probally go with Lemon."
[20:34] <01Kit> <Chii> <True that.>
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <X> There will be fighting on either team.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <X> We rarely find 'friendly' realities
[20:35] <01Dias`> <Dias> True, but I can't really punch corruption. Not yet atleast
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Raquel, Lemon, and myself would be a good team I believe.
[20:35] <01Kit> <Chii> The ripplesquirt spaces out a lot.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <X> I'm taking the corruption team
06[20:36] * 01Dias` rubs his temple now
[20:36] <01Kit> <Lilith> Naturally I am by my master's side.
06[20:36] * 01@Jennifer goes quiet and returns to staring at the table now.
04[20:36] <01Kit> <Chii> Haa. So just me, Cherry and..." 6She eyes Jennifer, cracking her knuckles.
[20:36] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well something tells me this is going as planned.
[20:36] <01Dias`> NRP: isn't
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I personally don't believe that's a good idea. With your presence comes the presence of at least 2 to 3 more bodies. That is not very small. 6He tells X.
06[20:37] * 01@Jennifer goes a bit pale.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <X> I have my reasons - and unless Lemon objects, which she said it was volunteer, I'm going.
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts slightly to peer at Lemon, since it's ultimately up to her.
[20:37] <01Kit> <Lilith> Since Key will be with John, it is myself and Dias with her.
[20:38] <01Dias`> <Dias> What about Drake? 6She eyes Lilith forgetting him
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I see. Poor Drake.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head
[20:38] <01Kit> 6Key dances in the background, occasionally glaring at Cole.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I'll go with Cheryl.
[20:38] <01Kit> <Lilith> ...I am not accustomed to him being outside of me.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* He speaks up finally.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <John> I'd make an innuedo, but that's too easy
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods to Scott once, thinking it's a good idea.
[20:38] <01Dias`> 6Dias nods at John in agreement
[20:38] <01Kit> <Lilith> Innu... endo?
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <John> Like an inugami.
[20:39] <01Kit> <Lilith> I see.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> She can go - we may could use her if the corruption atacks
[20:39] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well that includes me then.
[20:39] <01Raquel> "...so much for a small group."
[20:39] <01Kit> <Lilith> You could switch.
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems to have decided X would be worthless on the other team if she doesn't want to be there
06[20:40] * 01Raquel frowns a little
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If that's the case, I can go with Cheryl. I would not want to cause a scene by making a group as large as it already is.
[20:40] <01Kit> <Lilith> I am merely stating the obvious like you, Raquel.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stick with Lemon, Kane. It's fine. I like small groups
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon leans over and begins to input the safety reality number into everyone's devices so they can bring it up on a moment's notice
06[20:41] * 01Raquel crosses her arms, "You won't get rid of me that easily."
[20:41] <01Kit> <Lilith> I would not think so.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <X> You should have tried reverse psychology, Lilith.
[20:42] <01Kit> <Lilith> M-Mistress...
[20:42] <01Dias`> <Dias> I think you need a group hug.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods to Cheryl once, accepting that.
06[20:42] * 01@Jennifer closes her eyes and breathes out, then sits up. "So the groups are all decided then?"
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, when you're ready to go, head out. 6* She stands up. "Each group can leave when they're prepared. My group - meet me at my room." 6* She moves off.
[20:43] <01Kit> 6Chii prances off after Cheryl.
[20:43] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks back at Cheryl. 1"Stay safe, Cheryl"
[20:43] <01Kit> 6Key shifts to eye John, serious all of the sudden.
06[20:43] * 01Raquel tilts her head at X, "What? Don't tell me you want me gone?"
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* John shifts to his feet, clapping his hands together. "Well, Team John, ready?"
01[20:43] <01@Jennifer> "I just need to grab my supplies..." *she gets up and heads to her room to do just that*
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just grunt once at Dias
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Always.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* X says nothing either way to Raquel
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at those with her. "Is everyone going with me ready?"
[20:43] <01Dias`> <Dias> If she wanted to, she would've gone with the other group.
[20:43] <01Kit> <Lilith> You should try reverse psychology, mistress.
06[20:43] * 01Raquel sticks her tongue out at X, "You joined my team, do you can't complain."
06[20:44] * 01@Jennifer grabs the things she didn't leave with Lemon and puts on her weapons belt before heading to Cheryl's room.
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It would appear we have a bit more bickering to attend too.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott rises. "It's probably why Cheryl was glad to leave you with that group."
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves off to Cheryl's room
[20:44] <01Kit> <Lilith> I believe this bonding, not bickering.
[20:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias reaches behind his back and pulls out the tattered headband and ties it on. 1"As ready as I can be." 56He looks over at John. 1"Same with you John, and I'll be counting how many bad guys I take down."
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake eats a pancake quietly.
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Bonding is it? I see.
[20:45] <01Raquel> "...sibling rivalry maybe?"
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <John> You do that. 6* He thumbs up, then moves for the front door with his group
[20:45] <01Kit> <Lilith> You should try it sometime." 6She notes to Kane. 1"You would be less lonesome."
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* X drinks some tea
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I am quite content.
[20:45] <01Kit> <Lilith> I feel sorry for you.
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole gets to his feet and moves over to Lemon to give her a slight hug. 1You be careful, alright?
[20:45] <01Dias`> <Dias> He's radiating happiness. Even I can feel it
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You'll forgive me if I don't care.
06[20:46] * 01Raquel stands up, making her way to join her team.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles. "You too. No more stunts like that one time, please. It is too dangerous."
[20:46] <01Kit> <Lilith> Yes. I will." 6She tilts her head at Kane.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* X watches Raquel leave her team
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah yeah. But at least I looked cool. 6He gives her a smile and moves after John.
[20:46] <01Kit> 6Key starts laughing at Cole, losing her serious expression
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Come'on chuckles. We've got serious work to do. 6He motions as he passes her.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* John muses outside, then enters a reality number, then takes Key's device, entering it in her's, showing Cole so he can do his
[20:47] <01Kit> 6Key pauses, then enters serious-mode again, nodding and following.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gathers a few items in her room, including a bottle of sake
[20:47] <01Kit> <Chii> How many of those do you have, you lush!
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole looks amused at Key then nods to John and begins to enter the address. 1Should we expect a fight as soon as we port?
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <John> Hopefully not, but you can never know.
06[20:48] * 01@Jennifer approaches the room and stops at the door.
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole nods and holds his hand over the button, ready to go.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* John taps it
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole taps his.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl muses. "Lemon has most of them."
[20:49] <01Kit> 6Key stares around paranoically, then hits her's.
[20:50] <01Kit> <Chii> Jeez. You reverted.
04[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Try not to injure Jennifer. She's playing the marytr today.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl notes, grabbing a datapad and attaching it to her tactical suit
[20:50] <01Kit> <Chii> Could grant her wish.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't feed it.
[20:50] <01Kit> <Chii> Yeah, yeah." 6She retrieves her gauntlets and grieves.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* A server brings over breakfast; apparantly Lemon ordered food before they left
06[20:50] * 01@Jennifer knocks politely.
04[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's open, Jennifer. 6* She calls out
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane adjusts his sleeve slightly then peers up at the food. 1We are to eat before we leave?
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Food is important.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes the food, then slides his pancakes aside
[20:51] <01Dias`> <Dias> Food for us? 6He grins now. 1"Nothing like one good meal.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks annoyed at having to eat first
06[20:51] * 01@Jennifer steps inside quietly.
06[20:52] * 01Raquel steals one of the pancakes
[20:52] <01Dias`> 6Dias claps his hands together and starts grabbing food and eating it
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes some food to eat herself.
[20:52] <01Kit> 6Lilith eyes the table scrutinizingly.
04[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott steps in a moment after Jennifer, his gun holstered
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> All you ready?
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to eat.
01[20:52] <01@Jennifer> "I'm all set."
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> IF anyone has anything to say to anyone else, do it now, so it won't interfere in the mission. Because if it does, I'll remind you why I'm a bitch. 6* She states once, eyeing them all
[20:53] <01Dias`> 6Dias shovels a whole pancake into his mouth.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* X sighs and takes some food finally. "We are wasting time."
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake stares at Dias, like he might be ill
01[20:54] <01@Jennifer> "I just want to move beyond it... really."
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That explains running to Lemon about it and getting her upset.
06[20:54] * 01Raquel tries to eat properly and ignore Dias' manners
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl notes calmly
01[20:54] <01@Jennifer> "...Which thing are we talking about here?"
04[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know, which thing are we talking about, Jennifer?
[20:55] <01Dias`> 6Dias pounds his hand against his chest as he swallows it. 1"Trust me, you'll be glad you had something to eat."
01[20:55] <01@Jennifer> "Im going to go with Chii laying the righteous smackdown on me?"
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> IF that's what you want to go with
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* X pushes her food aside. "After seeing you eat, I lost my appetite."
[20:55] <01Dias`> <Dias> What? I always eat like this when I'm excited.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <X> I see now why I'm thin
01[20:56] <01@Jennifer> "I don't know what to say about it. I'm letting it go, I probably should have just sucked it up and not gone to Lemon. I'm sorry."
[20:56] <01Dias`> <Dias> I...6He eyes her now, not sure if he should be taken that as a jab to him
04[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You want to go to Lemon, go to her as a subordinate, now as her friend crying that she can beat up. You report Chii's actions, fine, I respect that. I don't care for how you do things, Jennifer, half-assed.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> *not
[20:57] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm not right, don't give me that bullshit, either. I'm completely in the wrong except from my own point of view.
[20:57] <01Kit> <Chii> I don't want you around Lemon. I did what I did because as far as I'm concerned, you're poison to her.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott quietly takes a seat.
[20:57] <01Raquel> "You should... at least... take time to chew."
[20:57] <01Dias`> 6Dias quickly peers at Drake to get his opinion. 1"Did she say I don't excite her?"
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> The food is delicious. 6He notes once after swallowing a bite.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <Drake> I think she said she's thin because you're too exciteable
06[20:58] * 01@Jennifer stares at Chii, she sighs and rubs the back of her head. "I'm not. I don't want to hurt or endanger Lemon. I've been a bit crazy of late, I'm sorry for that. And I don't know what I can do to make up for my behavior."
[20:58] <01Dias`> <Dias> ...OH because I eat all the food. 6He nods, clearly content with that
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lemon can make her own decisions, aside from Chii, but I think it's time you acted like a soldier on a mission, which is what you are - and if you keep going like this, this is your last mission with the team, us succeeding or not.
01[21:00] <01@Jennifer> "I'll correct my behavior."
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head agani
[21:00] <01Kit> <Chii> Now that, I don't really agree with." 6She eyes Cheryl.
[21:01] <01Dias`> 6Dias slows his eating down now.
01[21:01] <01@Jennifer> "No Chii... she's right. If I keep acting like this I AM going to get someone hurt."
[21:01] <01Kit> <Chii> No argument there, but the soldier stuff. We jumped into this mission way before we resolved anything like that-- and added people along the way. At least half of us have no idea what it means to really be a soldier. Hell-- I don't.
01[21:02] <01@Jennifer> "I do though."
04[21:02] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Jennifer jumped into this with me on a strict agreement
[21:02] <01Kit> <Chii> Only people like Cherry and Lilith-- Maybe Kane really do. The rest are a bunch of emotional, hot-headed wannabe heroes.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> <Cherly> And she knows exactly what I mean
06[21:02] * 01@Jennifer nods.
01[21:02] <01@Jennifer> "I'm sorry for allowing myself to get out of line Cheryl."
[21:02] <01Kit> 6Chii stares, peering between the two with a frown.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, if you don't stop moping around, eyeing the table, trying to weasle your way out of obligiations, and don't treat Lemon like your boss, then it's over. I'll pack you home. It's why you're with me and not Lemon. Because until I see you act the part you agreed to become, you're under my thumb.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes Lemon's device and begins to synch them u
06[21:03] * 01@Jennifer nods, not looking upset in the least. "Just... one thing."
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her
01[21:04] <01@Jennifer> "Do you know about my condition?"
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It doesn't even factor into what's going on in my head right now, to be completely frank
01[21:05] <01@Jennifer> "It's fine, I just thought you should probably know." *rubs the back of her head*
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm aware. 6* She finishes the synch. "Lets go."
[21:05] <01Kit> <Chii> What the hell's she talking about?
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's deaging.
06[21:05] * 01@Jennifer nods.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon finishes her food
[21:05] <01Kit> <Chii> Why?
01[21:06] <01@Jennifer> "The stone... we think."
[21:06] <01Dias`> 6Dias sets his silverware down and stands up, patting his stomach.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's suspected the stone is doing it - it was implanted when she was dying, so it's continually repairing her cells, leading to her getting younger
[21:06] <01Kit> <Chii> John never mentioned anything like that.
06[21:06] * 01Raquel quickly downs the rest of what she has, when she sees Lemon finish.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> From what I gather, it's never happened before - people typically get it implanted when they're healthy, like me
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles at her group. "Is everyone ready?"
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane wipes his mouth with a napkin. 1I am.
[21:07] <01Kit> <Chii> How far's it going to go?
[21:07] <01Dias`> 6Dias stretches from side to side. 1"Aye aye.
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> "I'm a bit freaked out... just so we understand. I'm starting to find my clothes not fitting in the morning."
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We don't know.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The tactical suit automatically adjusts
01[21:08] <01@Jennifer> "I was referring to my prison uniform a little while ago." *she smiles weakly*
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, so the one time outfit. 6* She nods
[21:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances at his entourage to see if they're all ready
[21:08] <01Kit> <Chii> We'll find a solution.
06[21:08] * 01Raquel nods to Lemon
01[21:09] <01@Jennifer> "I-I... yeah."
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Alright. 6* She reads off the reality address
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once, then hits the jump button, taking them to their mission
[21:09] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes his device while he scratches his head then puts the numbers in, checking over to X's to make sure his match
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes his device, makes a correction, then nods
[21:10] <01Dias`> 6Dias let's out a huge sigh of relief then kisses her on her cheek
[21:10] <01Kit> 6Lilith finishes her own, then checks on Drake.
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane inputs the code.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake's code seems right
[21:11] <01Kit> <Lilith> Good boy.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake reels a bit
06[21:11] * 01Raquel smirks a little at Lilith, and just hopes she inputed hers right
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> On 3.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> 1. 2. 3.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon taps hers, as does X, then Drake
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hits his.
06[21:11] * 01Dias` hits his on 3
06[21:12] * 01Raquel hits hers after 3
[21:12] <01Kit> 6Lilith does as well, sighing.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The team appears in a beautiful field of flowers and trees, with gorgeous fruit, and a nice mountain in the background, which brings a cool breeze. Nearby is a nice little village that's Indiana like.
06[21:13] * 01Dias` peers around as he takes in the area
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> *indian
[21:14] <01Kit> <Lilith> I like this place.
[21:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane kneels and takes a handful of dirt, peering it over. 1Pity it may be doomed soon enough.
[21:14] <01Raquel> "..it's peaceful."
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks around - nearby, some dark skinned humans see them, and look startled, moving into the village
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I hope that does not happen
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks sad.
[21:14] <01Kit> 6Lilith eyes them, then moves off toward the village.
[21:15] <01Dias`> <Dias> Lilith stay with the group
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake looks ill, kneeling there
[21:15] <01Kit> 6Lilith pauses, eyeing Dias indifferently, then jerks, running back to Drake.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers over at the village - some more humans are coming out quickly their way.
06[21:15] * 01Raquel looks around idly, then sees Drake, and goes wide eyed. "Are you...?!" She doesn't finish the sentence
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> He always is ill after a jump. 6He notes about Drake.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake looks better after a moment, rising slowly
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Drake> Yeah, motion sickness
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Or the fact he is temporarily cut off from Lilith. 6He rises and peers towards the village.
[21:16] <01Dias`> <Dias> Heads up, they're coming this way.
[21:16] <01Kit> 6Lilith swats Drake on the head.
06[21:17] * 01Raquel looks a little embarassed to have over reacted.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they move over, they fall before Lilith, bowing, mumbling about her being a god
[21:17] <01Kit> 6Lilith shifts and turns, staring at them.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* X stares, then twitches
[21:17] <01Dias`> 6Dias raises a brow, then looks at X, an amused look on his face now
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. Curious.
[21:18] <01Dias`> <Dias> Apparently they worship dogs here.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* They offer Lilith a basket of fruit
[21:18] <01Kit> 6Lilith takes it, not wanting to be rude. 1"...Is that the case?"
[21:18] <01Raquel> "...well, someone is popular."
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks curious
[21:19] <01Dias`> <Dias> You don't see them offering me things. 6He motions at his body
[21:19] <01Kit> <Lilith> You can be quite the dog.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* One of the people look up without looking her in the face. "Oh, please, come to our humble village with your servants so we may treat you as you deserve, oh wonderful, humble, kind god."
[21:20] <01Kit> <Lilith> My name is Lilith. These are not my servants.
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes the glasses up onto the bridge of his nose.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* They pause. "We apologize for not recognizing your equals!" 6* They say, panicked and in fear
[21:21] <01Kit> 6Lilith points to X. 1"She is my master, actually."
[21:21] <01Dias`> 6Dias beams slightly.
06[21:21] * 01Raquel fails to surpress a small pout
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* The people seem to reel at this, and murmuring grows between them
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks smug now
[21:21] <01Kit> <Lilith> Why do you give me fruit and praise so?
[21:22] <01Dias`> <Dias> And she's my girlfriend, so by process of chain of command...
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* They eye Lilith, more unsure, then point to the village, where a wood totem of a dog faced human can be seen
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes Kane. "I think we're losing god status quickly here."
[21:22] <01Raquel> "...you're her servant too?"
[21:22] <01Kit> 6Lilith rubs her chin, then nods, moving toward the totem of the village.
[21:22] <01Dias`> 6Dias hangs his head
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* X motions Dias. "Move servant."
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon goes to follow Lilith - the people follow, still looking unsure
[21:23] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes. I believe you're right. 6He nods to Drake, slowly walking after them.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake walks after Kane
[21:23] <01Dias`> 6Dias mumbles as he walks beside X. 1"When someone asks if your a god, you always tell them yes."
[21:23] <01Kit> 6Lilith idly allows herself to float along slightly above the ground, then rise up to study the totem when they get to it.
06[21:24] * 01Raquel sticks her tongue out at Lilith as she follows, "...cheater." She resists the urge to ripple ahead.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* The people gasp, and they fall to bow
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* It looks a bit like Lilith herself
[21:24] <01Kit> 6Lilith turns and lands after a moment. 1"It looks like me."
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> <X> I wonder if they will build one of me now
[21:25] <01Dias`> <Dias> The 1/10th scale gold statue I had made of you not good enough?
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> <X> No
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances around the village, but seems satisfied that they're a more primitive race.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The villagers rush over. "Please allow us to throw you feastival in your name!" 6* They try to lead Lilith and the others to a large tent. "They are not worthy of you, but please, stay here."
[21:26] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks at her with a sad face. 1"Will I ever be able to please you?
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks curious. "They seem nice, but they keep putting themselves down for us. Why"
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <X> No
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves for the tent
[21:26] <01Kit> 6Lilith nods. 1"Alright. I would not object to celebration, however, I would like to know when that was made and for what purpose."
[21:27] <01Dias`> <Dias> Because people bow to things they worship.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* The people peer at each other, then at Lilith. "Many years ago in your honor."
[21:27] <01Kit> <Lilith> Why?
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* They look at each other, then her. "You are a god."
[21:27] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves after X.
[21:28] <01Kit> <Lilith> There is always a tale to accompany legends. I wish to hear it.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* They pause, then nod. "You wish us to speak your tale. Of course!" 6* They send off for the storyteller
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head.
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane curiously watches them go, interested in the story as well.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> Location: Unknown Reality
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's group appears in the middle of a dirty alley
[21:29] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Charming.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott checks his gun once
06[21:30] * 01@Jennifer looks about slowly. "Mmm..."
[21:30] <01Kit> 6Chii glances around, then starts wall-hiking to get a better view from up top
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to the edge of the alley, peering out - it looks very much like Mega City did in their old reality, before it went boom
06[21:31] * 01@Jennifer looks to the ends of the alley, then moves along after Cheryl.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Flying shuttles can be seen about in the sky for Chii, and it looks like it's a massive, sprawling city, with the Executive Building in the center
[21:31] <01Kit> 6Chii calls down. 1"It looks familiar, but I can't place it!"
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think I might know
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* At that moment, a military shuttle begins to fly their way
01[21:32] <01@Jennifer> "Feels like home."
[21:32] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Incoming!" 6She leaps off, sliding down one wall a while with the use of the side of a gauntlet, then leaps to the other wall and then to the ground.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up, making a face.
01[21:33] <01@Jennifer> "...Good incoming or bad run away incoming?"
[21:33] <01Kit> <Chii> No idea, but looks military
01[21:33] <01@Jennifer> "Coin flip."
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We should avoid it, then, just to be-- 6* A van pulls up outside the alley - military markings
01[21:34] <01@Jennifer> "Ugh..."
[21:34] <01Kit> 6Chii snickers.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> It seems they know we're here - fast response time
01[21:34] <01@Jennifer> "Amazingly."
[21:34] <01Kit> 6Chii reaches back into a satchel, then hurtles a small sphere forward-- on impact it'd crack then spew a rapid smokescreen.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The van opens up and stepping out are a few familiar, if not older faces - in their late 20s. Dias. Xanatos. A red head who might be Katrina, or Erevis, depending on the events of the reality, and Warren Carmichael.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren yells out. "Keep your eye on the sensors, they're trying to blind us."
06[21:35] * 01@Jennifer looks to Cheryl.
[21:35] <01Dias`> 6Dias starts coughing out. 1"WHO THE HELL USES A SMOKESCREEN?!"
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> I can feel them. 6* Seh calls out the position. <Warren> Stun shots only
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pings with his eye, firing out stun shots down the alley.
[21:35] <01Kit> 6Chii whispers. 1"Eyes." 6She throws down another-- with a delay it flares a bright flash, both making them more obscure and blinding visual-bases. 1"Get moving."
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott makes a face, hit in the shoulder and stumbling over. Warren, fllowng Katrina's instructions, opens fire, nailing Cheryl several times
[21:36] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm on it...6He leaps into the smoke and the flash, keeping low
06[21:36] * 01@Jennifer eeps and starts to back up. "Way to go Chii..."
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos can be heard cursing from the flash.
[21:37] <01Kit> 6Chii leans forward, using her hearing to go low and spin around trying to kick upward as Dias comes in, her hands throwing another grenade-like forward, this time a stun.
06[21:37] * 01@Jennifer looks over at Cheryl to see her condition.
[21:37] <01Dias`> 6Dias comes out of the smoke up high, having leapt up to come down on them
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains to move back the other way, grabbing Scott - when a blast from the shuttle hits - a stun shot big enough to fill half the alley. She goes down
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I hear a grenade. 6He calls out, backing up.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina responds by psionically knocking bac keerything - even Dias - to get it
06[21:38] * 01@Jennifer cries out and goes down as well.
[21:38] <01Kit> 6Chii stares up at Dias, taking her time to adjust, then hurtles another stun grenade up at him while he's falling-- then grunts, flying backwards in a roll from the psionics.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii would be stunned as well moments later, from teh grenades, or the shuttle, as is Dias. Poor Dias.
[21:39] <01Kit> <Chii> S-Son of a ...biiitch..
[21:39] <01Dias`> 6Dias lies on the alley ground, his distraction a success
04[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* When Chii, and Jennifer awaken again, they'd find themselves in a military brig, energy force field, clothes switched out to fan servicey jail clothes - the brig looks a lot like their own
[21:40] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Goddamnit.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Their devices are still attached, naturally, since they can't be removed without them themselves doing it
06[21:40] * 01@Jennifer pers over at Chii, grumbling. "You know... youcould try asking questions and then shooting sometime."
[21:40] <01Kit> <Chii> You could try doing something other than standing around.
[21:41] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes her clothing, then her own. 1"...H-How the hell do they get away with clothing like this for prisoners!?"
06[21:41] * 01@Jennifer looks down. "Ugh... maybe they left Dias in charge of wardrobe."
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door opens up and in steps Xanatos Durran, and Katrina, as well as what appears to be an older looking Raquel.
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* They stand wisely on the other side of the field
[21:42] <01Kit> 6Chii slowly gazes over. 1"...Oh, so that's why I heard whining after the flashbomb.
[21:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Durran's here.
06[21:42] * 01@Jennifer looks at them and blinks. "...Xan, Kat, and... Raquel?"
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't recognize these three - the one who looks like Cheryl still won't answer our questions
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> They apparently know us.
[21:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Something like that. But until you let me see Cherry, I won't be saying much more than that.
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I somehow doubt that. 6He notes to Chii.
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> If we're right, they're from another reality, like that one group.
06[21:43] * 01Raquel frowns, "Makes you wonder where these ones came from."
[21:43] <01Kit> <Chii> Doubt it all you want, but if I had planned on using lethal force, I think you removed more than enough of an arsenal from me to do it with.
[21:43] <01Kit> <Chii> Instead I used diversionary devices and stun grenades.
01[21:43] <01@Jennifer> "That one group...?"
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> But outside the Cheryl, I've never seen these three - I even ran a comphrensive database scan
06[21:44] * 01@Jennifer sighs.
[21:44] <01Kit> <Chii> I don't exist in realities other than my own, so I'm not surprised.
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> See. I told you she would keep talking.
01[21:44] <01@Jennifer> "Chii..."
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina hands Chii a credit
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you from another reality?
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> *Xanatos
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smirks and pockets it.
[21:45] <01Kit> <Chii> Duh. Now let me see Cherry.
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sure. We'll get right on that.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> How do you travel between realities? Those devices?
[21:45] <01Kit> <Chii> Let me see Cherry.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe if you cooperate.
[21:45] <01Kit> <Chii> Bullshit.
01[21:45] <01@Jennifer> "Look, we're not allowed to talk without her sayso."
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts a hand on Raquel. "If you do not cooperate, we will have to use more harsh ways of questioning you - this young woman here can be very persuasive with the soul."
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> We'd like to keep this civil
[21:46] <01Kit> <Chii> No shit. I know all about her-- and I could eat her.
[21:46] <01Kit> <Chii> Now bring me Cherry. I'm starting to get pissed off.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Xanatos. "She didn't mean that as an innuedo."
06[21:46] * 01Raquel looks to Katrina, "I told you that one looked feral."
01[21:47] <01@Jennifer> "She didn't either..."
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sighs, hanging his head.
06[21:47] * 01@Jennifer rubs her face. "Look... I'm pretty sure you're the good guys."
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Good an evil are relative little girl.
04[21:47] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> If you answer our questions, you can see your other two comrades. If not, we'll have to be more direct. 6* She looks at Jennifer. "You seem reasonable - how do yo utravel between realities?"
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> NRP: and*
04[21:47] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm really not in a bad mood. If I was in a bad mood I'd be beating the girl up." 6She jerks a thumb at Jennifer.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Feel free. I could get some money out of that show.
[21:48] <01Kit> <Chii> If it's too much to ask to speak to the people we're with, then why should I trust you with anything more important than my eating habits/
01[21:48] <01@Jennifer> "Chii... stop."
04[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps her eyes on Jennifer, waiting
[21:49] <01Kit> <Chii> Plus, you're wrong.
[21:49] <01Kit> 6Chii waves her hands idly. 1"I have three other friends you apparently can't tell even with miss psychic and ghost girl. That makes me laugh."
06[21:49] * 01@Jennifer looks at Katrina. "Kat, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you anything if my leader has chosen not to. Were you all attacked by a previous group?"
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Her bluffs are kinda cute.
[21:49] <01Kit> <Chii> They're not bluffs.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> I understand. Raquel... 6* She glances at her. "Do what you need to do."
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives Chii a look.
01[21:50] <01@Jennifer> "You don't want to do that."
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pats Raquel's shoulder and then slowly looks at her ass as he backs up.
[21:50] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes Katrina. 1"She could tell you I'm not bluffing if you like. She could also tell you if I had any intentions other than getting back to Cherry."
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back, apparantly not wanting to get in Raquel's way of soul searching
[21:51] <01Raquel> "I don't look forward to this... but since you're not giving me a choice, which should I start with, hmm?"
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> The calm one.
06[21:51] * 01@Jennifer rubs her face.
[21:51] <01Kit> <Chii> Scared of me? You should be.
[21:51] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm not going to let you mess with her, after all.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina taps a button and Chii would feel a prick in the back of her neck that drugs her to the point of unconsciousness
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, lets begin, then
01[21:52] <01@Jennifer> "...You're not the good guys... torture isn't... is Warren allowing this?"
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives Kat a thumbs up, agreeing with that method.
[21:52] <01Kit> 6Chii makes a face, then pitches forward into the field.
04[21:52] * 01Raquel gives a small nod and holds out one hand. She seems to concentrate a moment, before reaching out and starts to pull at the bonds that hold Jennifer's soul to her body
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Also, we should se about finding those 'three'. She wasn't bluffing.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> Location: Inugami Village
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <Storyteller> And that is the story of how the god drove back the forces of darkness and saved our world.
[21:53] <01Kit> <Lilith> I am pleased with this rendition.
[21:54] <01Kit> 6Lilith bows her head respectfully. 1"She was honorable."
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eats some of the fruit offered, while Lemon quietly does scans.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> <Storyteller> She is you, great god.
[21:54] <01Dias`> 6Dias tosses a piece of fruit into his mouth then holds one towards X's mouth
06[21:54] * 01Raquel smiles a little, "I hadn't heard that particular story before."
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane seems to be proccessing the story.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Drake> Lilith's a hero whereever she goes.
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> A hero indeed.
[21:55] <01Kit> <Lilith> Perhaps I am merely heroic.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* X takes it with her hand
[21:55] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Lilith after hearing the story, probably not liking something about it
[21:56] <01Kit> 6Lilith ignores him, used to it.
[21:56] <01Kit> <Lilith> Is there anything wrong with your village now?
06[21:56] * 01Dias` glances at Lemon. 1"We sure about this place?"
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> <Storyteller> Legends say the great god would return before the return of the darkness and save us once again. It is a frightful thing, but we believe in you.
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns at that.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I said it was one of many possible targets. I cannot be entirely sure
[21:57] <01Kit> <Lilith> It must be the corruption.
[21:57] <01Dias`> 6Dias nods to Kane. 1"Looks like you get where I'm thinking
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <Drake> But can anything drive the corruption back?
[21:57] <01Kit> <Lilith> Yes.
06[21:57] * 01Dias` eyes Lilith at that.
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> What is that? 6He glances at Lilith slightly.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake and X peer over, as does Lemon
[21:58] <01Kit> <Lilith> We do not know what it is, yet, but if we believed nothing could, our struggle would be a folly.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> That is true, but I was hoping you knew somethin gfor nw.
[21:59] <01Kit> <Lilith> I am always with you. Anything I know would be yours.
[21:59] <01Kit> 6Lilith eyes the storyteller. 1"Do you know of how your goddess destroyed it before?"
06[21:59] * 01Dias` shakes his head and he looks at Kane. 1"I was wondering something. What if the corruption uses the crytals as a way to find and get into another reality?
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <Storyteller> With great power
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> What would that matter?
[21:59] <01Kit> <Lilith> What kind?
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <Storyteller> We do not know
[22:00] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well it would mean if a reality doesn't have a crystal it'd either ignore it and move on or not be able to get into it.
[22:00] <01Kit> <Lilith> From where did the goddess come from?
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The storyteller points at the sky
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I fail to see where you're going with this, Dias.
[22:00] <01Kit> <Lilith> Is it possible for us to check beyond the atmosphere, Lemon?
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> To check for what?
[22:01] <01Kit> <Lilith> Anything. The goddess descended from the sky
[22:01] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well, it would tell us if it's specifically going after the crystals are not for sure
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I do not detect anything up there - I know a crystal does exist in this reality, though
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. That is true. 6He nods once, rubbing his chin.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> It is to the mountain
[22:02] <01Dias`> <Dias> Did I just out think you, Kane?
[22:02] <01Kit> <Lilith> We should start there, then. It is our only evidence.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> If we disturbed it, then if the corruption came after us, we won't know if it's for the legendaries, or the reality's crystal. Unless you'd rather I remain here
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Perhaps.
[22:03] <01Kit> <Lilith> ...I could go alone with X.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eats another piece of fruit.
[22:03] <01Dias`> <Dias> Must just be a fluke.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'd rather not just send two of you there - the mountain could be dangerous
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <Drake> I can go.
[22:04] <01Kit> <Lilith> I will not be bested by a mountain.
[22:04] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'd hope not, you are a god.
[22:04] <01Kit> <Lilith> I am an inugami.
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his chin and shakes his head. 1I believe we should play the part of the silent observer.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <X> And doom this reality if we could save it?
06[22:05] * 01Raquel nods in agreement with X's sentiment
[22:05] <01Dias`> <Dias> I can go with them while you guys make sure the village is grouped together incase we have to jump, that way we can bring them with
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I won't stop you from checking out the mountain - just keep in communication, and jump to the safe reality if something happens - I will remain here and observe as intended, and to see if the corruption comes after me.
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You would save one reality when learning about the corruption could save multiple ones?
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> There are too many people to bring with us.
[22:06] <01Kit> <Lilith> I will not abandon the goddess' effort. I will not abandon those in front of me.
[22:06] <01Dias`> How bout this, we wont' remove the crystal until we know
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* The people look at Lilith adoringly
06[22:07] * 01Raquel looks to the storyteller, "Have you ever been to the mountain?"
[22:07] <01Kit> <Lilith> Legends are always based on some truth. There may be something on that mountain or with the crystal that truly did stand up to the corruption. We will not know if we let it be swept up in the aftermath of an 'experiment.'
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake gets to his feet. "Sounds fair. Not removing it until we know. Besides, we have a lot of crystals - it might tell us if it comes after us over Lilith."
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once, not arguing any furthur.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> *Over Lemon
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* The storyteller shakes his head. "It is a dangerous place, where only gods may go."
06[22:07] * 01Dias` nods. 1"It'll give us a good choice to see what what it really wants. 6He stands up now, holding his hand out to X to help her up
06[22:07] * 01Raquel nods, "Sounds really worth investigating then."
[22:08] <01Kit> 6Lilith rises, looking to X.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* X gets up
[22:09] <01Dias`> We'll keep our comms open. If we lose communication, just make a really big explosion in the sky for us
[22:09] <01Kit> 6Lilith nods to X. 1"I will go ahead.6" Then shifts to malamute form and shifts to go.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake gets on Lilith to ride her
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Be safe.
[22:10] <01Dias`> <Dias> Kane, how many crystals do you have?
06[22:10] * 01Raquel moves to stick with Lilith, "...you can't stand not to be touchy feely, can you Drake?"
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <Drake> She's faster than me.
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> More than the group of you.
[22:10] <01Dias`> 6Dias holds his hand out
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane just gives Dias a look.
[22:11] <01Dias`> <Dias> Fine, just make sure you stand away from Lemon if it shows up
[22:11] <01Dias`> <Dias> X, you going with Lil?
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* X is moving after Lilith
[22:12] <01Dias`> 6Dias turns and sighs then kicks off, sprinting full force after
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> X. Wait. I will give you some of the crystals. 6He calls out.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> <X> I don't wnat them!
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Then how will you damage the corruption if it comes?
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <X> My own power. 6* She says in a tone that indicates that is all it will take
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane puts a hand to his face.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* X ripples on ahead to catch up
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches them go
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. It appears it is just us.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> Location: Brig
04[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina speaks into her comm, informing Warren that the devices are what they use, and they're collecting something called crystals - while Jennifer lays exhausted from Raquel's soul touch
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Warren on comm> I understand. The President wants one of the devices. Ask the girl to remove hers.
04[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, peering at Jennifer. "If you would take it off for us."
06[22:15] * 01@Jennifer shudders, looking up at her. "Wh-Why...?"
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Because we asked nicely?
01[22:16] <01@Jennifer> "You call this nicely...?"
[22:16] <01Kit> 6Chii lies around all x_x
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> We warned you - please don't make us use force to tke it
[22:17] <01Raquel> "I would... really... hate to turn you into an empty shell, and then make you do it. So... if you would please, the device?"
01[22:17] <01@Jennifer> "You can't take it off me or you would have... we could do this a lot more peacefully if you stopped treating us like criminals."
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Raquel, make her
01[22:17] <01@Jennifer> "No."
04[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses at the no, glancing at Jennifer. "Then remove it yourself, or she will make you."
04[22:17] * 01Raquel shakes her head slowly, holding up a hand. Giving Jennifer a chance to comply before she acts.
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> These ladies don't fuck around, kid.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> She's planning to hit her device, Raquel - do it
[22:18] <01Kit> <Chii> Maybe that's why they're... so uptight..
06[22:19] * 01@Jennifer sits up. She moves her hand over her device. "No, I'll take it off."
04[22:19] * 01Raquel telekinetically grabs Jennifer's arm, lifting her off the ground by an invisible grasp. "...forgive me if I don't trust you any more."
01[22:19] <01@Jennifer> "I said I'd take it off! I don't wanna die!"
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> She sounds pretty scared.
04[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Jennifer. "She's being honest now. Give her enough manueverablility t odo it
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> You should watch your stray thoughts, though - they betray you
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Kat and holds up his hands. 1My bad.
[22:20] <01Kit> 6Chii tries to feel out Cheryl on a whim before she's re-conked.
04[22:20] * 01Raquel nods, and lowers Jennifer to the ground. She keeps a tentative grip around the arm... weak enough that she can still move, but enough that the feeling is still there.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* She's around
[22:21] <01Kit> 6Chii tests her movement, making a face.
06[22:21] * 01@Jennifer has plenty of stray thoughts, like how much she feels like a failure at the moment as she removes the device.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii can move a bit now. Katrin anods to Raquel. "Telekentically move it to the wall." 6* She moves over to open a panel
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> We'll return your other two comrades to you in a moment.
04[22:22] * 01Raquel releases Jennifer, and brings the device over.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes it, peers it over, then moves off
[22:23] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes Katrina, then Jen and the device. Thoughts would obviously pin her to the thought of destroying it before they get it since she doesn't have Cheryl's permission-- And calculating her reaction times to how quickly Katrina put her out last time.
[22:23] <01Kit> 6And Kit loses to typing shorter sentences.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, eyeing Chii, then psionically slaps Chii's brain once, moving off
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos scratches his his chin and then motions to Raquel. 1Good work. Let's go. 6He moves to walk after Kat.
06[22:23] * 01@Jennifer sighs and frowns.
[22:24] <01Kit> 6Chii makes a seal, then tries to blow Katrina into a wall. More out of annoyance and pride.
01[22:24] <01@Jennifer> "Xanatos..."
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* The brain slap seems to be enough to stun Chii's ability until she's gone.
[22:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers over his shoulder slightly.
[22:24] <01Kit> 6Chii would just as soon do it to Xanatos or Raquel, really.
[22:24] <01Kit> 6Especially Raquel.
06[22:24] * 01Raquel glances at the prisoners, considering saying something, before heading after the others.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Chii attempts to attack, the cell alarms go off, warming Raquel and Xanatos of Chii's attempt
01[22:25] <01@Jennifer> "We're not the bad guys..."
01[22:25] <01@Jennifer> "...Damnit Chii!"
[22:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hits a button to stun them both like Kat did before. 1Sure. You're not. 6He turns and steps out.
06[22:25] * 01@Jennifer sighs and facepalms.
06[22:25] * 01@Jennifer then blacks out.
[22:25] <01Kit> <Chii> Keeping me from my lover is enou--
04[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer and Chii would awaken to find Cheryl and Scott in the cell; Cheryl's restrained with cuffs, and Scott looks annoyed
[22:26] <01Raquel> "...you know, installing those was the best idea ever."
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Raquel, watching the monitors of the group
06[22:26] * 01@Jennifer groans a bit and looks up, shaking her head.
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers over Kat's shoulder. 1So Cheryl's really with the annoying one? Anyone else think that's weird?
[22:26] <01Kit> 6Chii sits up, giving the bird upward
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> They must come from a twisted world.
06[22:27] * 01@Jennifer looks over at Cheryl and sighs a bit. "I'm sorry."
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren steps in, arms crossed, eyeing the monitors. "The president's people are already anaylzing the data from the device - we should soon know everything, even where they're from."
[22:27] <01Raquel> "Maybe they're from some bizzaro Earth. I mean... that's pretty backwards."
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You did what you had to do. 6* She seems to be debating jumping out of the reality, peering at her device
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> That's good. Dias still out cold? 6He glances to Warren.
[22:27] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Cheryl. <We need to get that back.>
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> He's recovered.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <I know.>
[22:28] <01Kit> <Chii> <Think it can hold a dragoon?>
01[22:28] <01@Jennifer> "Didn't want to, they used Raquel though..."
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Probably not.>
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well, I guess we just wait until it's decided what to do with them?
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> We're calling in our Cheryl to see if maybe she can learn anything from theirs.
[22:28] <01Kit> <Chii> <I could probably find our stuff by feeling out the espers. Can you locate her device with ours or something?>
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll get to watch, right?
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> Plus the President wants to know about their other three friends. <Katrina> I couldn't detect anyone else, though that gluttonous one does have powers
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <My device can track hers, yes.>
[22:29] <01Kit> <Chii> <You're not giving me much input. Basically I'm suggesting breakout here. Am I being stupid again?>
06[22:29] * 01@Jennifer looks over at the cell door. "...Never been in on this side of it before."
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <No, you're not. I'm just debating options. Sorry.>
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <If we use the dragoon form, we can break out, but then we'd have to deal with enemy forces, probably - and yes, I could lead us to the device, but it's probably heavily guared.>
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Just an idea, but maybe she's just crazy and really believes she has more friends than she does?
04[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <We could jump, but then we'd lose Jennifer, probably>>
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's possiblely.
[22:30] <01Kit> 6Chii moves over and then sits in Cheryl's lap, leaning back on her. <I'm open to other ideas if you have any.>
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I mean, I think everyone loves me. 6He gestures out to them for their reactions.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina and Warren ignore him
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <No, I don't have any. We'll try it.>
06[22:31] * 01@Jennifer rubs her face and looks at Scott. "Are you okay?"
04[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wraps her arms around Chii. "Jennifer. Scott. Get to the corner."
04[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott eyes Jennifer, then Cheryl; he shifts to obey.
04[22:31] <01Kit> <Chii> <I didn't try to harm them, but they resorted to using soul-leeching on Jennifer. I'm done being nice.>
06[22:31] * 01@Jennifer nods and moves to the corner on order.
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos looks amused as he turns to watch the monitor now.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Aww, you care about her after alll>
[22:31] <01Kit> <Chii> Celsius, Fenrir, Undine. Where are you?
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> They're up to something.
06[22:32] * 01@Jennifer drags Scott with her.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren motions for Raquel to hit the button
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Should I hit the stun switch?
[22:32] <01Kit> <Chii> <She's one of us. She just pisses me off.>
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott is dragged despite having gone over, causing him to fall
06[22:32] * 01Raquel hits the button, since it's her turn
06[22:32] * 01@Jennifer eeps and helps him up.
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos doesn't say anything, but it sighing on the inside that he wasn't able to push it this time.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The group would begin to black out immediately. Cheryl roars, focusing into a dragoon form as best she can, only manages to get it enough to crack open the room
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at the robot dragoon break open the room, then fall over unconscious - ironically this means Chii is half-awake, being saved
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott slumps over from the stun
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> What in the hell?
[22:33] <01Kit> 6Chii fights her own fatigue with a combat meditation, trying to pick up the slack now like Cheryl did.
06[22:33] * 01@Jennifer slumps on top of him.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> That's new.
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Whoa. 6He pulls out his pistols. 1Kinda cool.
[22:34] <01Raquel> "...maybe I was sapping the wrong one."
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Only half-formed, the tiny dragon mech has barely energy to move for Chii, none to fight
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren hits the alarms and grabs her gun
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> Stop it. Don't let it get away.
[22:34] <01Kit> 6Chii nods. 1"Thanks." 6She makes a sprint for feeling out the esper resonance. 1<I'll get to them for our strength and back-up, wake up as quick as possible.>
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts and runs out the door.
06[22:35] * 01Raquel tries hitting the button again
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sadly, the room being destroyed took out the stunners
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren and Katrina move down to the brig area
[22:36] <01Dias`> 6Dias joins them from a sidehallway. 1"Do I get to hit something again?"
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
06[22:36] * 01Raquel shakes her head, worth a try. She hurries after the others.
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh yeah. So the Chii and Cheryl hugged and turned into one thing.
[22:36] <01Kit> <Chii> C'mon, c'mon. Where are you guys?
[22:36] <01Dias`> <Dias> You really know how to treat a guy...6He peers at Xan. 1"Did they get naked first?"
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* They arrive in the brig, and Warren moves over, securing the unconscious Scott, putting a gun to his head
[22:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shakes his head no and then pauses to frown about that. He points forward for Dias at Chii.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, shuttles seem to be taking off from around the base
[22:37] <01Dias`> 6Dias cracks his knuckles and starts moving towards the half-gear
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Secure the girl, Raquel.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina motions at Jen.
[22:39] <01Kit> 6Chii twitches a bit and acts like she's going to go head to head with Dias
06[22:39] * 01Raquel nods, grabbing Jen telekinetically, and pulling her back. Pondering just tossing her into another cell.
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos starts firing stun shots out for Chii.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> IF YOU DO NOT STAND DOWN, WE WILL KILL YORU COMRADES
[22:39] <01Kit> <Chii> You started killing first, asshole.
[22:40] <01Dias`> <Dias> He means it. He's has a twitchy gun finger. 6He plants his feet as he waits for her
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren charges his gun against Scott's head.
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> We haven't killed anything, idiot.
[22:40] <01Kit> <Chii> You're threatening to. I never was.
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> You have until 3.
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rolls his eyes, pausing in his stun shot firing to give her a chance to surrender the propwer way.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Shuttles fly overhead, waiting for Chii to poke her head out
06[22:41] * 01Raquel lets Jen dangle by the neck, waiting to see what Chii does
[22:41] <01Kit> 6Chii shifts the mech slightly, eyeing Warren. If it could narrow eyes it would, but she peers at him, trying to guage his killing intent.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren seems completely serious
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> If you still fail, Raquel will eat the girl's soul.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> 1.
[22:42] <01Kit> <Chii> You feel no better than the jackass trying to destroy everything.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> 2.
[22:42] <01Dias`> Don't let him get to three.
[22:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Fuck you.
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well so much for that poor boy.
[22:42] <01Kit> 6Chii grinds her teeth loudly, dissolving the bond, moving to catch Cheryl.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Warren pauses, the gun going off from Scott's head, momentarily open
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is caught.
[22:43] <01Kit> <Chii> It's easy for you to be all pushy and mouthy when you're the one waving guns around and wagering people's lives.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott's eyes snap open and he elbows Warren's gut
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then he judo throws him
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos jerks and shifts around to aim and fire a stun shot for Scott.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Catching Warren's gun, he spins, blocking the stun shot with the gun
[22:43] <01Kit> 6Chii slips around Cheryl and forms seals bringing her hand down with a lightning strike for Xanatos.
04[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer would begin to awaken again
[22:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias dashes in at Chii, spin kicking at her as her hands come down
06[22:44] * 01Raquel puts Jen into the lightning strike
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Scott takes aim, firing at Katrina, his shots as precise as Warren's
[22:44] <01Kit> 6Chii ducks under Dias.
[22:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias twists around his foot planting and his other foot comes flying straight in at her now that shes ducked
[22:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos thumbs up to Raquel and fires two more stun shots towards Scott.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott blocks the shots as best he can, then dives through the doorway leadnig out of the brig
[22:45] <01Kit> 6Chii hits the deck and sends her foot directly outward for Dias' supporting knee.
06[22:45] * 01@Jennifer groans a bit and then cries otu as she gets shocked. "GODDAMNIT!"
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes, flipping off and around Chii, activating ehr whip. She leaps through the hole in the roof, then whips Chii up after her
[22:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to move for the door, firing shots after Scott.
[22:45] <01Dias`> 6Dias leg is hit but it feels like she's hitting a steel beam
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren pushes himself up, looking annoyed.
04[22:46] * 01Raquel keeps her telekinetic grip on Jennifer, watching the others run. She wonders what to do with her.
[22:46] <01Kit> 6Chii lands beside Cheryl, making a face as she lands on that foot that kicked Dias. 1"...Son of a.."
06[22:46] * 01@Jennifer tries to resist, struggling.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> Hold onto her for now - she tries to escape, kill her.
06[22:46] * 01@Jennifer blinks and stops.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott runs down the hallway as fast as he can, diving into another doorway
[22:47] <01Kit> <Chii> One second, Cherry." 6She puts her hands to the floor of the ceiling, then starts focusing, forming the devouring runes, sneaking a shadow down the hole and along the ceiling inside toward Raquel.
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slides up to the door, tossing in a stun grenade.
[22:47] <01Raquel> "...damn. I hope they come back."
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* The grenade goes off
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Shuttles come in on the roof, firing at Cheryl and Chii
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We don't HAVE a second
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers in slightly, letting eye do a scan for heat signatures.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Several - appears to be the cafe
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slowly slides in, guns raised as he peers around carefully.
[22:48] <01Kit> 6Chii hrmphs, abandoning the technique for now, but it's clear she has a grudge on Raquel and shifts to run with Cheryl. 1"Following you, babe."
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to run along. "The device is in the tall building in the city. Got anything you want here?"
06[22:49] * 01@Jennifer grumbles and looks at Raquel and Warren.
[22:49] <01Kit> 6Chii tries feeling out the resonance crystals again. 1"Just need my armor.."
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* They're in the center of the base
04[22:50] * 01Raquel hangs Jennifer from a piece of debris, "...if only you just cooperated, we wouldn't have this trouble. But no... you all had to play the tough rebellious sort."
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* No sign of Scott - but there's another doorway, and the kitchen area he could have gone
[22:50] <01Kit> <Chii> Figures. Center.
01[22:50] <01@Jennifer> "No offense, but you could have been a little nicer about it."
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* The shuttles follow them; Cheryl slides to a stop over the center, taps into her crystals, and punches into the ceiling over and over, the sound of bone and muscle being torn is heard, until she pile drives through the ceiling into the storage area
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tchs, wishing he could just find his mind like Kat and moves towards the doorway, sliding in, scanning with his gun.
04[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren moves off, leaving Raquel alone to watch Jennifer
[22:51] <01Kit> <Chii> Ch-Cheryl!
[22:51] <01Kit> 
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Xanatos is in another hallway
[22:51] <01Kit> 6Chii makes a face, then drops down. 1"Grr... did you have to do that..?"
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl adjusts her neck. "Grab it, stone will heal me. Hurry."
[22:51] <01Kit> 6Chii lands in a crouch and peers around.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii's stuff is in a locker
[22:51] <01Kit> 6Chii moves over and kicks it, trying to open it.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina is dead, BTW. Poor Kat.
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves down the hallway quickly, visibly annoyed as he moves.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* It opens; all of Chii's stuff is there except one gauntlet, taken for study
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott leans aorund the corner, firing shots at Xanatos
04[22:52] * 01Raquel watches Jennifer with annoyance. As if daring her to do something.
[22:52] <01Kit> 6Chii stares, then quickly moves to take it, equipping herself even as she leaps from object to object and then up and out. 1"Fuck. Last one is..." 6She holds up her other, using the resonance to get a better feel."
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos attempts to dodge a few, but would probably get hit in the arm, firing with his unwounded one.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Same place as the device
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Scott jerks a bit in pain, then runs again
[22:53] <01Kit> <Chii> It's at our next stop.
01[22:53] <01@Jennifer> "Do I really look like I could take you?"
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes his arm, and then pauses going wide-eyed. He narrows his eyes and tenses to dash forward, angry.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her and Chii's tactical suits
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott runs down the hallway, sliding into the storage room and slamming the door shut
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slides up to the door and places and explosive on it, backing up he detonates it.
[22:54] <01Kit> <Chii> Let's go, Cherry. Time's wasting.
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> NRP: a*
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door explodes inward. Cheryl jerks of balance, grabs Scott, and leaps through the hole in the rof
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Warren catches up to Xanatos
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rounds the corner and fires shots inward.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips Chii up, who gets shot once in the leg
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Upon getting her, she runs with the two along the roof
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves in, firing up after them, clearly annoyed. Cursing and kicked some rubble when they move off. 1Fuck.
06[22:57] * 01Raquel idly walks over and places an explosive in Jen's pocket. "Comfortable?" She holds onto the deadman's switch.
01[22:57] <01@Jennifer> "You can rip out my soul and you're doing this?"
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Warren watches them go, lowering his gun. "Lets hope the flyboys can get them."
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll get them. 6He promises, glancing to Warren.
06[22:57] * 01Raquel shrugs, "I'm only ordered to kill you if you try to escape."
[22:58] <01Dias`> 6Dias slides up behind Xan and Warren. 1"Well we still have their friend so looks like they'll be coming back to us no matter what
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Warren> Go ahead.
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods to Warren and moves out past Dias, moving down the hallway.
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Chii and Scott manage to get away, though with Xanatos pursuing them, who knows how long - just long enough for minis, I guess!
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> Location: Inugami Mountain
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the base of the mountain, which up close, looks darker - or that's night falling in
[22:59] <01Raquel> "...how ominous."
[23:00] <01Dias`> 6Dias slides to a stop, looking up at the mountain. 1"This'll be like when I climbed Mt. Fuji.
[23:00] <01Kit> 6Lilith growls.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Their devices comm units seem to be getting weaker they closer they get
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Drake> So- do we keep going?
[23:01] <01Kit> 6Lilith shifts forms back to human, gazing upward with a glare.
[23:01] <01Dias`> <Dias> I had a thought here...and maybe it's an odd one, but, without Lemon we can't really pinpoint the crystal
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <X> We'll find it because we're heroes.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <X> Besides, it will be at the summit, or it wouldn't be practical
[23:02] <01Dias`> 6Dias nudges Drake, giving him a thumbs up
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Drake> ...
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, at the Indian camp
[23:02] <01Kit> 6Lilith steps forward, not afraid.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon leans forward, peering at her device, frowning
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses a moment in his work to glances up. 1Is something the matter?
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I think something is entering the reality - my device spiked momentarily, detecting something
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. Either it is Warren, or you chose the right reality.
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... Either is bad
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
