<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.2.8
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> 6* A week has passed since PAX's failure to get the alliance, and it's already been coming down on Darien's head for the failure. He's remained rather isolated in his office, throwing a ball up and down in his hand as he sits at his desk. MEanwhile, the Erusian who is suppose to teach ancient fighting styles to Ry is coming in today.
* Chad`Winters sits before his desk in the Security Office, running through paperwork
<Ry`> 2Was currently assigned to the hangar, staring down at his watch as he waited his arrival. Ry had almost forgetten about this guy, but his memory was jogged when he was made to escort the guy.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina McCormick has avoided the diplomatic offices, knowing when Darien's in a funk, he needs to think it out on his own. She's currently in the recreational area, fiddling with her datapad.
* Kulix walks through the large sliding doors of the hanger, walking toward Ry '' I assume that since this master is coming to instruct, he will be instructing me as well.''
* Kulix is now known as Aelin
<Ry`> 14"Not quite..only me, according to my orders"
<Aelin> ... well, we'll see about that.
<DeathStar> 6* An older model Erusian vessel begins to approach the station.
* Aelin comms Arhn '' Lady Arhn. About the master you hired for Ry- Will I be instructed as well? ''
<Ry`> 14"I suppose..well there he is..."
* Shiva steps into the recreation room and leans against a wall.
<Ceres> *Elsiah joins the two Erusians, "What's up?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Shiva. 6She says without looking up.
<Arhn> I have not hired him...and it is his decision.
<Shiva> How's it going today?
* Xanatos`Durran steps up to the entrance of the recreation room, he leans against the doorway and eyes Katrina and Shiva. He smiles lightly and turns starting to walk off.
* Aelin glances at back at Elsiah '' We're waiting on a martial arts master to show up. ''
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Slow. No work means nothing to do for me. 6She glances up at Shiva.
<Aelin> Hmmm.. Then if it was his decision, I doubt that he will take on another pupil...
<Shiva> You could always be in my position.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Negotating personally with the Cartel and Xevil every other day? No thanks.
<Ry`> 14"Ancient Arts Master.." 2He corrected
* `Cole is in the recreation room, sitting off to the side playing guitar. He can actually complete songs now. So he seems happy.
<Shiva> Damn...And here I thought I could've found a replacement. *she says defeateD*
<Ceres> Elsiah> "Martial arts eh? I'd like to pick up a few more moves myself."
<DeathStar> 6* The Erusian vessel stops and a shuttle flies out toward the hanger.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You look like you need a massage.
<Ry`> 14"I doubt he's willing to train the whole station.."
<Shiva> That would be an astute assumption.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waves her over to sit down.
* Shiva moves over to a seat infront of Kat and sits down
* Chad`Winters idly reaches his hand over to several keys on his terminal, waitng
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches over and begins to massage Shiva's shoulders and neck. "So, how was everyone after the mission?"
* Ceres steps into the recreation room and takes a seat, pulling out a book.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lands in the hanger
<Shiva> Not good from what I can tell.
<Aelin> Yeah.. *Turns to Elsiah* So what is it exactly that you do? Specifically?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can tell your emotions seem a bit erratic.
* Chad`Winters drops his hand, then eyes the monitors, watching the shuttle land.
<Shiva> That they would be.
<Ry`> 14"Security.." 2Another vague answer, as he approachs the shuttle ramp..waiting for him to appear.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Ceres, then turns back to Shiva, still massaging her. "And how was Arhn?"
-Ceres- I have been away for 2hrs 5mins 8secs: auto-away after 60m idle (one-time response to highlight)
<DeathStar> NRP: Why does Ceres keep sending me private messages about her idle time?! A RGH
<Shiva> I got one good hit off her and it was near pure anger.
<Ceres> NRP: hmmm, lemme see if it's a script
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I feel sorry for her.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle sits there, not moving now that it's landed.
<Ceres> Elsiah> "Hmmm, what do I do? Generally kick arse... why?"
<Ry`> 14"Uh sir?" 2He taps on the shuttle side.
* Ry` is now known as Rylon
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle ramp lowers slowly.
<Shiva> So do I, I feel responsible for what happened during the Hi'Osian meeting.
* Rylon stares at the lowering ramp, already not liking the pace this is going at.
<Aelin> Being sociable. *He turns to watch the dramatic entrance
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Xevil is pushing your buttons, especially the Ambassador's and Ry's.
<Shiva> And the subsequent consequences...
<DeathStar> 6* The ramp lowers. Nothing more happens.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He knows he can do whatever he wants to Warren without legal reprocussions.
* Chad`Winters continues to watch the monitor, his hand rubbing his chin.
<Shiva> This is true but you still have to wonder if it wouldn't have happened if I didn't push back.
* Ceres smiles back to Kat and looks to her book, "We should work on some form of strategy for next time..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You shouldn't beat yourself over it. What If's won't get us anywhere.
* Aelin whispers to Elsiah '' watch what happens when he walks in.. ''
<Rylon> 14"Sir!" 2Moves to the front of the ramp, staring in.
* Xanatos`Durran knocks on Darien's door.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien misses his ball on a catch. "Come in."
* Xanatos`Durran steps in. "Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* A cane hits Rylon in the face with enough force to knock him off his feet.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hey, Xanatos. What can I do for you?
<Shiva> I have a feeling that unless we can get Warren back, any time we find ourselves in that situation, Warren will be hurt.
<Xanatos`Durran> I just wanted to talk to you. *he slides in and sits down* About Warren.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe Xevil will hang him over your heads like some threat, but Warren would want you to do your jobs.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Shoot.
<Rylon> 2That was the last thing he expected, as the cane would smash into his face. There was no time to react, as he fell back onto the steel floor. One hand moves up, holding his nose. 14"Now what in the hell was that!?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Is there any possible way we can get him back? That finger made me realize that they could kill him anytime they want.
<Shiva> I prefer not to play with someone's life.
<DeathStar> 6* An Erusian, much like Rylon or Aelin, walks down, with whiteish hair and looking much older and fragile, probably hundreds of years old. He speaks in an older Erusian dialac. "You should learn patience."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know. 6She stops massaging, turning to sit in front of Shiva and taking her hands, smiling at her. "But you can't let Xevil get to you. He wants to get under your skin."
<Ceres> *Elsiah chuckles.
<Rylon> 14"Sorry..anybody on this station can tell you patience isn't my strong point.." 2Ry snaps to his feet with a half flip, landing swiftly upon the balls of his feet.
<DeathStar> <Darien> There really isn't anything we can do until we know where he's being held, and we don't know. And even if we did, we legally can't get him.
<DeathStar> <Erusian Master> Without patience, you cannot take the first step of a journey. 6He continues to speak in his dialect, unknown to any human.
<Shiva> Getting under another's skin has never been a problem with me, it just makes it hard now to retaliate knowing the risk.
* Aelin approaches the master, and kneels on one knee, the opposite fist to the ground '' Sir, I understand that you have come to train Rylon. But I must query whether or not you would be willing to take on another pupil. ''
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, what will you do?
<Xanatos`Durran> You've not always done things legally you know.
<Rylon> 14"So I've heard..." 2He said bluntly, looking down at Aelin..
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm by the book. 6He says with a finger to his lips, then talks softly. "Of course, if I find something important, I will get it no matter the cost."
<DeathStar> 6* The Erusian master looks at Aelin, squinting at him with his old eyes.
<Shiva> Tread lightly. I know I've lost Warren's trust once already...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And how'd you do that?
* Aelin continues kneeling, allowing himself to be assessed.
<Ceres> Elsiah> "I wouldn't mind a bit of traiing myself."
* Shiva looks at Kat, staring deeply into her eye. 1"By doing what was requested of me.
<Shiva> NRP: Eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* The Erusian master squints at the Elisah. "What is this ugly female doing here?" 6he asks Ry.
* Xanatos`Durran smirks at Darien. "I'll do anything that you need me too. Just don't ask me to fly my shuttle..." He chuckles as he stands.
* Aelin blinks
<Rylon> 14"I have no idea actually...she just sorta..followed me and appeared..as did Aelin" 2He switches his tone to his Erusian dialect.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master grunts. "This is not some show."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Your shuttle is a death trap.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Shiva, Shiva. 6She pats her on the head with her hand. "Sometimes, there's things more important than duty."
* Aelin is now known as Aielin
<Rylon> NRP: I was wondering when he'd spot that
<Xanatos`Durran> Tell me about it. I think I might just leave it broke down this time. *he rubs the back of his head* Darien. Don't worry to much. We all have bad days.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, do you want babies? 6He asks suddenly.
<Rylon> 14"I know..but I cannot control the actions of the people on this station"
* Xanatos`Durran stops in his tracks and glances back at Darien. "What?"
<DeathStar> <Master> I cannot train with outsiders here. You will get them out of this hanger and shut off their feed. Then I will speak with you two.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master sits down until his orders are complied.
<DeathStar> <Darien> With Kat. Babies.
<Xanatos`Durran> Ummm. I dunno....you trying to tell me something?
<DeathStar> <Darien> That she's pregnant? Perish the thought. 6He says in a flat tone.
<Ceres> Elsiah> "So I take it as a no?"
* Aielin continues to kneel, watching the master '' Y- yes sir. '' He says, half bewildered. He then stands, looking around. How many people are in the hanger?
<Shiva> It's not always that easy.
* Xanatos`Durran crosses his arms, "Why ask me that question all of a sudden?"
<DeathStar> 6* Being the Erusian hanger, no one else.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know. I was just curious where you plan to go in your relationship. You two seem to be so hot and cold.
<Rylon> 2Turns his attention to Elsiah, and tone back to basic. 14"Yeah..he pretty much wants you to leave.." 2Moves his datapad to his front, typing in and cutting the security feed to the secondary hangar..if there was one.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know.
* Aielin looks over to Elsiah '' Sorry, Elsiah, he doesnt want any outsiders watching. ''
<Xanatos`Durran> I would like more. But i'm not going to push it. I give her space whenever she seems to act like she wants it. I'm trying my best not to mess up like I did last time.
<Ceres> Elsiah> "Alright, see you round Ry." *she nods to them and heads out*
<Rylon> 14"If this guy hasn't killed me by the end of the day..then you will" 2Nods back to her
<DeathStar> <Darien> I find it best to be honest. Tell her what it is you want from her so she can decide if that's what she wants, too. If you give her too much space, you'll end up hating it.
<Chad`Winters> Things may come to light someday, but I don't see it happening anytime soon
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Bah
<DeathStar> 6* The master sits there, seemingly asleep.
* Chad`Winters stands up, logging offh is terminal.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Darien. "I appreciate it. Not many care enough to try to help me out. They just call me stupid and go on." he rubs the back of his head.
* Rylon stares blankly at him. 14"Oh..sir?"
* Chad`Winters steps out of the Security Office and moves to his room.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You know, I've found that too much duty breaks a person. It broke me. I didn't like who I was becoming. I always saw myself as career military. Now...I don't know. I guess I envy John for his wind like mentality.
<DeathStar> <Master> ... 6Could he be asleep?
<Aielin> Hmmm..
<Rylon> 14"..this isn't happening.."
<Aielin> No no. I've read about this in novels. He's only pretending to sleep.
* Aielin said that in human BTW
<Shiva> His Wind like Mentality gets him into more trouble than he's worth at times.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, I can do that behind your back.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> True. But at he never has any regrets.
<DeathStar> (at least)
<Xanatos`Durran> Better than to my face. *he chuckles and turns to step out*
* `Cole glances over at Shiva and Katrina. He closes his eyes and begins to strum, a slow melodical song emits from the guitar.
* Ceres has quit IRC (Quit: "I will NOT teach NPCS!" - Largo)
<Rylon> 14"I think he is actually asleep"
* Seraphna is now known as Ceres
<DeathStar> NRP: Sera's quitting!
* Aielin kneels infront of the master '' YOUR ORDERS ARE COMPLETED SIR!! '' he screams
<Rylon> 14"I can't say disturbing him is the best course of action.."
<DeathStar> 6* Aielin is suddenly flat on his back. It would appear the Master never moved, though Ry would have saw a blur like passing of the cane.
* Chad`Winters steps into his room and begins changing.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master stands. "I cannot teach one so stupid." 6He notes dully.
<Shiva> I will say tho that he has come through on his promises.
<Rylon> 2He was stunned for the moment, doing his best to keep up with the masters movement. But alas he fell short, when Aielin was on the flat of his back. 14"Damn..I could barely keep up.."
* Shiva glances over, eyeing Ceres
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I was thinking we should try to get Arhn off the station and down to the planet for some relaxation. You both could use it, especially her. I don't feel it's good for her to be hiding from everyone.
* Aielin lays on his back, staring at the ceiling before windmilling up , returning to the kneeling position'' Please tell me what I did so that I may correct my mistake.''
<DeathStar> <Master> One cannot correct stupidity. 6He says with a huff.
<Shiva> It's not, there's no doubt about that.
<Ceres> "Sounds like a good idea..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Ceres, having forgotten about her. Tricky, tricky girl. She smiles. "Great. I'll go invite her. You two get ready."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hurries off to get Arhn.
* Shiva stands up, running her hand through her hair.
<Aielin> You are wrong. We are all born into ignorance. It is through trial and exploration that we clear these things. If I erred, it is not because I am stupid, it is because I am ignorant of your expectations. *he says, matter of factly
<DeathStar> 6* The Master stares at him in silence.
<Rylon> 14"Damn..you're trying arn't you?"
* Shiva steps out of the room, heading towards her office.
* Xanatos`Durran passes by Katrina as he walks through the hall. "Why hello there." He smiles at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns in mid-walk, walking backwards so she can look at him. "Hey, handsome. How's it going?"
* Chad`Winters steps back out, wearing a wife-beater and a pair of slacks. he walks down the hallways heading to the Training room.
<Xanatos`Durran> Good. You seem to be in a hurry.
* Aielin continues kneeling, looking up at the master, locking eyecontact. Passively confronting him.
* Cassandra_Arakawa has left #taw
<DeathStar> 6* The Master swings his cane at Aielin's head again, but at a speed he might dodge.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm gathering all the girls for a girl's night out.
<Xanatos`Durran> Oh? *he smirks* Well you all have fun. Be careful now. *He winks at her*
* Aielin reaches up, sheilding himself from the blow as he rolls with the punch. He rolls on his shoulder, recovering his kneeling position undamaged. He continues to kneel to the master.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Too bad it wasn't a punch
<Aielin> NRP: Rolling with the punches is an expression
<DeathStar> <Master> The first art of fighting is not to be hit. Impatience invites stupidity. And stupidity invites pain.
* Shiva steps into her room, changing
* Aielin nods '' I understand, master. ''
* Aielin grins
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wanders the halls with a notepad, jotting things down of interest.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stops in front of Arhn's door, knocking. "Ambassador?"
<Arhn> *comm* ...yes?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's me, Katrina.
* Chad`Winters turns around a corner, spotting Zephyr, he jumps slightly, his hand moving down to his crotch instictively.
* Ceres gets changed into something nice and casual in her own quarters, before stepping back out.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Chad, then casually jots down something in her notepad.
<Rylon> 14"But is it not true that pain teaches us not to be stupid?" 2His hands fall behind his back, as he stares at the Master Erusian in silence.
* Arhn opens the door for Kat.
<DeathStar> <Master> Of course. Pain is a lesson in itself. Will this one scream in my face again? If he has learned pain, then he will not.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into Arhn's room, glancing around. "Hello, Ambassador. I wanted to invite you down to the colony with some of us girls for some fun."
* Chad`Winters eyes Zephyr. 1"I see you heeded Ambassador Ariel's words and have restrained from hitting people in the crotch.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see you have developed a strange reaction to touching yourself. Is this normal behavior?
* Xanatos`Durran steps by Chad and Zephyr. "No one else will touch him." He keeps walking, a smirk on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* The old Erusian seems to wait to see if Aielin will scream in his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head at the remark.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"It's a learned behavior, much like when a child recoils in pain if they touch something hot.
* Aielin stands, silently.
<DeathStar> 6* The ancient Erusian walks over to Ry. "Do you have patience, Rylon Oskay?"
<Arhn> ...I...am in no mood for fun.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Arhn. 6She says with seriousness, cupping her hands together. "It is my medical opinion that if you continue to bottle up these emotions of yours, it is unhealthy. I understand fully the roles and expectations placed upon you, but sometimes you have to say to hell with it and duty and do something for yourself."
<Rylon> 2Stares at the Erusian. 14"I see you were misinformed of my name..it is Rylon K'oskay..but when the situation calls for it..I can be, I'm willing to admit however I am prone to reckless actions..against certain situations and people.
<DeathStar> NRP: Hell
<DeathStar> <Master> A certain Tsivrixsh barbarian, for instance? 6He speaks of Xevil.
<Rylon> 14"Yes.."
<DeathStar> <Master> Tell me. What did you do wrong in your last fight with him?
<Ceres> NRP: Kat recommends a bottle of whiskey and a good nights sleep for all occasions... <.<
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So you touch yourself because you feel hot?
* Chad`Winters looks at Zephry, intrigued by her persona.
<Rylon> 14"I challenged an opponent far above my own level, not thinking of the consequence. I often charged in, allowing myself to come to him..rather then the other way around"
<Arhn> I need...alone time.
<DeathStar> <Master> A stronger opponent can be beaten if you use your environment. If you allow your opponent to bait you to him, he will beat you. 6He says to them both.
<Chad`Winters> *rubs the bridge of his nose* No, I touched myself to make sure my nuts are still there knowing fully that you may at any time shove them back up into my stomach.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stand there, looking at her. "We can't force you to live your life, but I must say this isn't living. It's merely hiding here doing nothing. It's just existing." 6She turns, moving to exit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So seeing me brings back the painful memory of you laying on the floor in pain after I hit you?
<Arhn> ...very well then...I shall accompany you.
<DeathStar> NRP: *The Master shows Ry a clip of Zephyr beating up Chad.* <Master> Study this for example.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. We'll be leaving in ten minutes. 6She bows, stepping out to go to her room to change.
<Aielin> How do you propose we use our environment?
<Chad`Winters> That would be the learned behavior, yes.
<Rylon> 14"Jump off walls and floors..slam them into nearby crates..that kind of stuff"
* Shiva steps out of the room, wearing something slightly exotic.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. Is this how you teach small children?
<Aielin> For example. If Ry were to fight in this hanger, how could he use the environment?
<DeathStar> 6* The Master turns to Ry. "Demonstrate using the various objects in this hanger."
<Chad`Winters> It is one way, yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head, writing something down in her notebook.
<Chad`Winters> but it's not highly looked upon.
* Arhn takes the time to change into a formfitting bodysuit...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see.
<Shiva> I'd say you're still in the learning stage, would that be the correct assumption?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Bah
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aren't we always learning? I did not have much contact with humans, outside my pilot.
<Ceres> *Elsiah steps into the hangar bay, looking for something to do it seems.
<Rylon> 14"Very well..." 2He slides into a moving stance, his legs parting and tensing. With that he started to move with incredible speed across the ground, and his fist action takes him flipping on the top of a steel crate. A single sweeping manuever was lashed out, and if there was an opponent there..it would smash into the face using the highground. Not stopping he back flipped..planting both legs  14(2cut14) 2
<Rylon>  14(2fix14) 2 against the back side on his way down. With a thrust he sent it violently forward, and likely to smash the foes there was he used it as a spring board. Now with a soaring form, his right leg snapped against the wall, using it to flip to the side of his imaginary foe..delivering a palm thrust at the rib cage.  14(2end14) 
<Chad`Winters> And I've only had a year to relearn everything.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out wearing a shirt and jeans. She walks over to Shiva. "Lets go get a shuttle."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because of your head injury received after you attempted to detonate the core of this station, correct?
* Aielin has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> ...*looks at her, a look of resentment flashign on his face breifly* You read that huh..
<DeathStar> 6* The Master nods approvingly as Aielin is knocked offline.
<Shiva> Sounds like a plan.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. 6She says with a nod.
* Kulix has joined #TAW
<Chad`Winters> Yes...I suffered a severe case of amnesia...You could say I was reborn, a clean slate. I've had to relearn everything.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master leans on his cane. "But I suppose the real lessons you wish to learn is how to defeat your opponent with the ancient fighting style."
* Arhn leaves her quarters as well.
* Ceres joins them, in a blouse and skirt, "Alright then."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waves at Arhn, then begins to lead her troops to the hanger.
* Arhn follows after Kat
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Do you wonder about your old self?
* Kulix nods ''nice moves, Ry. ''
* Kulix is now known as Aielin
<Chad`Winters> I do, but I do fear what I was...*he pauses, a strange look on his face*
<Rylon> 14"I find it better to learn all lessons you wish to offer. I have been trained in multiple arts of hand to hand..so I know the discipline..just I have a tendency to forget that discipline when the situation actually counts.."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head. "Are you experiencing a strange thought or emotion?"
<Chad`Winters> I find it strange that I'm telling you this.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? Why are you telling me this?
<DeathStar> <Master> I fear neither of you could learn the ancient arts. It would take twenty years of training and practice to learn even the most basic of concepts.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina arrives in the hanger, checking out a shuttle. She hops onto it.
* Shiva steps in behind Katrina.
<Aielin> Master, with all due respect- we HAVE 20 years.
* Arhn also boards the shuttle.
* Chad`Winters shrugs his shoulders and leans against the wall. 1"Because, while you did cause me excrutiating pain...I don't see you using it against me.
<Rylon> 14"Indeed...I'm just hitting my prime.."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is that a common trait? To use past pain on others?
<Chad`Winters> It can be an effective weapon. It can cause irrational behaviors. Anger and rage can cloud a persons judgement which causes can cause them to make a mistake.
<DeathStar> <Master> Do you have the patience for such training? 6He asks, leaning in closer.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. So you make others irrational so that you might beat them?
* Shiva takes a seat on the shuttle.
* Ceres steps in and grins softly, "So..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a seat, giving it their location. And off it goes.
<Rylon> 14"...As much I would like to say yes..I doubt I have 20 years..But I'm willing to learn as much as I can.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at all of them. "Any recommendations, girls?"
<Chad`Winters> It's a two-edged sword tho. Rage can make someone very dangerous...
<Arhn> I have none.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. 6She jots more notes.
<Shiva> I'd prefer a place with people.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. I think I know a place.
<Aielin> Do you have the patience to teach us? *he says with a smirk
<DeathStar> 6* And, to speed up time, the shuttle lands and Kat magically leads them to a dance club, where there's a sitting area for talking that can be heard. Katrina gets them a booth and orders herself a strong drink
<Chad`Winters> You're got the inquirer Dragoon Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Aielin is suddenly on the floor in pain. The Master stands there. "Rule #1, do not mock your master."
* Shiva takes a seat in the booth, ordering a strong drink herself.
* Aielin groans, '' my sincere apology... ''
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Cheryl said I could make be a reporter. 6She says with pride.
<Chad`Winters> Well you do have the questioning part down.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I find questions are very informative.
* Rylon holds back at laugh. 14"You never learn do you?
<Aielin> .oO( I thought the first rule was not getting hit...? How many rule #1s are there...?)
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina listens to the dance music in the background, looking at the three with her. "So, now that we're all together for the first time, we should talk and get to to know each other. Who wants to go first?"
<Chad`Winters> The right ones can be, but the best reporter can ask only one question and get 6-7 facts out of the person.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master motions for Aielin to stand. "I will teach you your first technique."
* Aielin gets to his feet again '' But seriously, master, if you will be training us, atleast give me a name to call you by. ''
* Aielin stands ready
<DeathStar> <Master> You may call me "Master". 6He says to him sharply.
<Arhn> I'm still not familiar with human beverages.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Um, let me order you something then. 6She orders Arhn a strong ale.
* Ceres also takes a seat, ordering something sweet yet alchoholic.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Honto? How so?
<Ceres> "I guess I'll go first."
<Arhn> TMy thanks.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master motions to Aielin. "Attack me with your best attack."
<Arhn> NRP: <Aielin> Yes master! KAAAAAAMEEEEEEEHAAAAAAA~
<DeathStar> NRP: <DeathStar> Oh God. PAX is falling apart already. <Slasher> I told you it would happen.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Masenko is much cooler! *glares*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina focuses on Ceres as their drinks arrive. She drinks her liquid.
* Shiva runs her hand through her hair, her gaze falling on Katrina.
* Aielin nods, handspringing to the side, feigning with one leg as he twists himself into a spin, to connect with the Master's head
* Shiva reaches down, taking a sip of her drink.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master reaches out and grabs Aielin, and despite the fact Aielin is bigger, and stronger than him, he easily sends him into a spin by cupping his hand strangely so that Aielin lands in front of him. He proceeds to whack him with his cane.
<Chad`Winters> I've been working on that myself. I find that telling them something that's useless but can make them feel more comfortable around you will loosen their lips.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. ... I like oranges. 6She states.
* Arhn sips from her own drink...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Does it taste good? 6She asks Arhn.
<Ceres> "Well... I'm Ceres Connor, I've been a Diplomat since I left High School, graduated at Old West Point when I was 20, even worked in teh Presidential Office..."
* Aielin lands, squatting, he then attempts to leap backwards out of the reach of the cane.
<Chad`Winters> It's not going to work on me.
<Rylon> 14"I'm beginning to like this master..he beats on you..which gives me an odd sense of satisfaction.."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Aielin was hit before he could get out of the way, so is the ancient art of fighting.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Ceres. "Can you be anymore text book?"
* Aielin lands, a few feat back, rubbing his head '' I think your giving concussion to me... ''
<DeathStar> <Master> A stronger opponent such as Aielin can easily be deflected with this spin block, allowing an open for a return attack.
<DeathStar> <Master> You can lift two times your own body weight if you learn it properly.
<Ceres> "Yes... actually..." *she grins* "Hmmm... I like partying, men with confidence, and reading... I dunno, what do you wanna know?"
<Rylon> 14"I see..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drains most of her glass of ale.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master stands there. "Aielin, attack Ry with the same move. Rylon, you will perform the spin block."
<Chad`Winters> Plus you need to be more coy, not so direct.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. How do I be...coy?
<Chad`Winters> That'd be something you could ask Darien, I'm not very good at being coy.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. Hobbies, likes, dislikes. Have you ever kissed a girl? Did you french the president? Something good.
<Aielin> Right! *Aelin charges Ry, handspringing into a feint, followed up by a reverse spinning back-kick
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Right! I will do so! 6She walks off in a march.
<Ceres> "Hmmm, yes I have actually, kissed a girl, that was a rather wild party... frenched the president? Too chubby in my opinion..."
<Chad`Winters> Good luck with that. *he moves off, resuming his way towards the training room*
* Arhn just stares at Ceres...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits there, still holding her drink.
* Shiva finishes her drink, slamming it down.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, Arhn...tell us about yourself. 6She says with a quick recovery smile.
<Rylon> 2He stands there silently, waiting until Aielin begins to grow closer. Suddenly he reached, his hands lashing out in a cupping formation. It latches onto the foot of his foe, and proceeds to twist with the spin. His elbows bent, sending Aielin into an uncontrollable back spin. But Ry would stop it, as his leg would come out directly afterwards..aimed to spear the Erusian in the stomach.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master watches, his eyes a little wider than normal
* Chad`Winters steps into the training room and moves over to a mat, beginning to stretch out
* Ceres looks at them all curiously, wondering what she said.
<Arhn> About myself...?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. Tell us some good details about yourself.
* Shiva orders a second drink.
<Arhn> I...don't know what to say.
* Aielin sees the attack, and yells a war-cry, letting all the air out of his lungs, before Ry Connects- as to do minimal damage. He then regains controll, as he spins to a halt, landing on the steel ground of the hanger, he stands, unharmed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What do you like to do in your free time?
<DeathStar> <Master> Mmmm.
<Arhn> Well, I have an interest in music...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? How so?
<Rylon> 14"Must you be so loud about it? That hurt my ears!"
* Shiva reaches over, grabbing her new drink, takinga deep gulp.
<Arhn> I have endeavoured in several compositions.
<Aielin> I'd rather it hurt your ears than have me lose my lunch all over the hanger while I span out of controll.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr returns to the training room. "The Commodore said, "Tell him to quit being coy and sending you to me with such things."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You... make compositions? Really? 6She finishes her drink, motioning for another. "What sort of music?
<Arhn> Erusian musical forms.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr, letting out a light chuckle. 1"He said that did he?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? Do you have any musical pieces I could hear sometime?
<DeathStar> 6* Some drunk guys let out cat calls at the girls' table.
* Chad`Winters spreads his legs, going into a full split, he lays his upper body down on the ground and reaches his hands out to the mat. 1"Quite the character.
<DeathStar> <Master> Your ability to learn that so quickly is amazing. How did it feel performing it?
<Rylon> 14"I would have liked to see what you eat.." 2He turns back to the master, crossing his arms. 14"Like it was natural for me..it was a good feeling"
<Chad`Winters> Tell me about yourself Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master pauses, then motions to Aielin. "Bring out the large metal block in my shuttle."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Myself? What would you like to know about me?
* Aielin nods and walks into the shuttle
<Chad`Winters> Why you came here, what you'd say made you who you are today, anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Two blocks of metal are resting there.
<Aielin> *Grunting, and the sound of steel scraping steel is heard as Aielin struggles to haul the box out of the shuttle '' A little help? ''
* Aielin stops, noticing the other box
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I came here to assistant and aid Miss. Ariel in her Ambassadorial duties. I am who I am today because of my pilot, Warren Carmichael. 6She says to him.
<Arhn> Perhaps...though there is a distinct lack of Erusian musical instruments...
* Aielin steps out ''which one was I supposed to get? There are 2 boxes. ''
<Chad`Winters> A good man. *
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We'll have to get you to bring some over. 6She says, glancing at the guys with an annoyed look.
<DeathStar> <Master> Only one will suffice.
* Chad`Winters leans his upper body up and begins stretching from one leg to the other. 1"What made you choose him."
<Rylon> 2Glances over at him with a smirk. 14"Having trouble over there?"
<Arhn> Hmmmm? What has your attention?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The government assigned him to me. 6She says with a tilt of her head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Those guys would like to get lucky with us, I would imagine.
<Arhn> I...see.
<Chad`Winters> But to pilot a dragoon, trust must be there. That's not something that can be forced.
* Aielin turns back, going into the shuttle. More scraping and grunting is heard as Aielin drags it out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course. I spent a lot of time with Carmichael and him with me. He was the only human I really knew until now.
<Aielin> A little...
<DeathStar> 6* The Master waits patiently.
* Aielin gets it to the ramp, moving behind it to push it so that it slides down.
<DeathStar> 6* The men keep making catcalls at the table, trying to get their attention.
<DeathStar> 6* It slides down with a bang, leaving a dent in the hanger floor.
<Chad`Winters> Still. *he stands up moving over to a punching bag* Trust must be built, what made him trust you and vice versa.
* Ceres sighs, and looks at Kat, "Ma'am, permission to break some arms?"
* Chad`Winters begins throwing hard left punches into it, his left hand held back as if waiting to jab.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I saw that he had good intentions. He wished to protect those around him and his planet. I respected that feeling.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Um, sure?
* Aielin walks down the ramp, continuing to Drag it out towards the Master
<Rylon> 14"That's some block if it could dent the steel like that.."
<DeathStar> 6* The Master waits until Aielin finishes. He looks at them both. "I will now teach you one of the most ancient techniques. A power strike."
<DeathStar> 6* The Master lets his cane hit the floor, then begins to stand there, his entire body tensing as he seems to be gathering energy, though nothing visible can be seen.
* Ceres smiles softly, "Kay... let's let them get a little more annoying... anyways..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Shiva. You've been quiet tonight. 6She notes.
<Shiva> Hmmm? *looks up and over at Katrina*
<Rylon> 14"Aielin..might wanna start dragging the other block out.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're quiet. Are you getting too drunk already?
<Shiva> Hardly...Just reflecting on my lifes choices.
<DeathStar> 6* The Master suddenly punches the metal block and cracks, then shatters.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? 6She says, then looks at Ceres and Arhn. "Excuse us." 6She grabs Shiva by the arm and leads her to the bathroom.
* Shiva is dragged out with her.
* Aielin 's jaw drops
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets her into the bathroom, then hops up on the sink counter. "What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Master calmly picks up his cane. "Once you can learn to equalize your power and speed throughout your body, even you can do this."
<Shiva> To the womans confessional? You have a way with woman no doubt.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You can use the toilet as a professional couch, if you want.
* Rylon observes quietly, his hands remaining behind his back. He was obviously impressed, by the raised brow he showed. 14"Aielin get the other block.."
<Chad`Winters> I find studying an opponent is the best way to defat them, what about you, what would you say is your way of defeating an opponent?
<DeathStar> <Master> I will rest in my quarters. You two may practice with the block. 6He walks off, probably knowing they won't be able to do it any time soon.
<Aielin> By the gods..!
<Arhn> How...odd.
* Ceres looks over at Arhn and smiles, "So... what has you down?"
<Rylon> 14"Go on..! It's not gonna walk itself over!"
* Shiva lets out a light chuckle. 1"We all have our dirty little secrets Katrina...Let me ask you something...What do you know about The Cartel?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Outside the favorite you guys did for me? Not a whole lot. John was kind of tight lipped.
* Aielin looks at Ry '' Oh no, this time YOUR dragging it out.. ''
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Defeating an opponent? I would find the best way to defeat them is to make the situation requiring the fight to be resolved.
<Rylon> 14"I'm still your commanding officer you know.."
<DeathStar> (favor, not favorite)
* Chad`Winters smirks slightly as he switches to quick lefts jabs. 1"You're learning."
<Shiva> Amazing, for once, that man can keep a secret. Always regaling woman with his tales of adventure.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thank you for the compliment.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sigh. Did he try to hit you on you, too?
<Arhn> ...I'd prefer not to talk about it.
<Shiva> He tried, but I broke his finger.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly two guys slide into the booth where Shiva and Kat were at. "Hello, ladies. We were wondering if you would dance with us."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You didn't!
<Ceres> "Might do you some good, hiding and moping only makes it worse... and I doubt he'd want you to beat yourself up on account of him."
<Shiva> No of course not, I...*looks over at the two guys an annoyed look on her face*
* Ceres glances over at the one next to her.
<Arhn> ... ... ... *glances at the interlopers*
<Shiva> NRP: Sorry, misread that.
<Shiva> No of course not, I threatened to cause pain. He learned quickly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Pain is a great motivator with him.
<Ceres> "I'm sorry, we're a little busy."
<DeathStar> <Guys> Just one little dance.
<Shiva> But he did have a way with words...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Did he? 6She leans forward. "And what sort of way did he get?"
<Shiva> I'd like to believe he got what he wanted.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at her, her eyes widening. "You didn't."
* Arhn just glances narrowly at the men.
<Rylon> 2He sighs, seeing Aielin going dead all of a sudden. He went onto the shuttle, and started to drag off the second block.
<DeathStar> 6* The men eye Arhn, then suddenly look freaked out by her look. "Uh, we gotta...go..." 6They scramble off.
* Shiva blushes slightly. 1"I was young and naive then.
* Aielin didnt go dead. He was standing there- waiting for Ry to get the box, as he refused.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It was a year ago! 6She says with a slight laugh, popped her on the head.
<Shiva> Oh so you already knew eh?
<Rylon> 2He drops it onto the ground, letting it dent the floor slightly. 14"Alright..lets see you break your hand first"
<Arhn> no spines.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No! He just seemed really perky. I should have known. I should beat him up for taking advantage of your fragile nature.
<Shiva> Hahaha, he gave me the release I needed at the time.
<Aielin> That won't do any good... This is ludacris. He says that we need to equalize our speed and strength throughout our bodies. If I just wail on it, I'm going to damage myself and learn nothing.
* Chad`Winters pulls his left hand behind his back and begin to throw jabs and hooks with his right hand, working on his accuracy. 1"You're quite the quick study Zephyr"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I like to learn. Do you?
<Rylon> 14"Well..you won't learn anything sitting there"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not hearing this. 6She says with a mock la la face.
* Chad`Winters sweat begins to build on his brow. 1"Is that not the purpose in life?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I believe so! 6She says with a bow of her head.
<Shiva> And the man knows how to please a woman. *she says as if trying to drill a mental image into her head*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Agh! Stop that!
<Chad`Winters> *continues punching his pace picking up quicker*
<DeathStar> <John> They don't know what a woman really wants, it would seem. 6He sents down at ARhn's table. "Hello, Ambassador."
<DeathStar> (sits)
<Chad`Winters> Do you ever find yourself alone in the galaxy?
* Aielin sighs '' We need to strengthen our skeletal structures first..'' He then assumes a forward stance, and begins punching the block, but hard enough to hurt without breaking his knuckles. He continues this, Right punch, left punch, indefinitely.
* Ceres looks at him, "You remind me of Kat for some reason... who are you?"
<DeathStar> <John> My name is John. 6He says with a smile at them.
* Ceres smiles softly, "Nice to meet you John, I'm Ceres."
<Shiva> *lets out a light chuckle* You're quite beautiful when your in denial.
<DeathStar> 6* John leans forward. "Ceres is a beautiful name."
<Rylon> 2He stares at him rather blankly. 14"Did you not hear the guy? What the hell does skeletal structure gotta deal with equalizing strength and speed.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I refuse to accept compliments from the person telling me how good my brother is in bed.
<Arhn> Ahem!
<Shiva> But then who else will compliment you?
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, glancing at Arhn. "Of course, Arhn is a beautiful name, too."
* Xanatos`Durran leans against the door to the training room, watching Chad and Zephyr.
<Arhn> Why are you hear?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alone? No. I am surrounded by friends now.
* Ceres giggles softly, "Charming."
<DeathStar> <John McCormick> Well, I've been busy in the area lately and I happened to see you lovely ladies sitting here, so I thought I'd come to talk with you for a moment."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Xanatos! I'll pay him to do it.
<Chad`Winters> That's not quite what I was referring too. *pulls his right hand also behind his back and begins to throw left kicks into the punching bag* Think about your uniqueness.
* Aielin looks over at Ry '' Don't just stand there, punch the hell out of this thing!''
<Ceres> "Well it's nice to meet you..." *she smiles softly* "You're much better company then most of the men around here."
<Shiva> Come now Kat, buying flattery is no replacement for the real thing
<Rylon> 14"You really are hopeless.."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses. "You mean...me being a dragoon?"
<DeathStar> <John> Thank you. I like to think I'm more interesting than your average male.
<Arhn> Your sister is currently with the Cartel ambassador.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nor for what's really bothering you. So what is it? 6She crosses her legs, leaning forward.
* Aielin stops, turning his head to look at Ry '' Ok then, I suppose you want me to just straight out iron strike this thing, and break my entire arm? *he raises a fist, which has begun bleeding.
<Chad`Winters> It does make you a lone breed.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at the bathroom, then leans forward. "Yes, yes she is."
<Rylon> 14"How about meditating?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I do not feel it matters. We are what we are.
<Aielin> .... You know there are many forms of meditation.
<DeathStar> 6* John sips Kat's ale, which she left behind. "I was wondering how you were doing." 6He asks Arhn.
<Arhn> ...does everyone know...?
<Shiva> Secrets have a way at eating oneself.
<Rylon> 14"Try one..I mean..what the hells beating on a block gonna get you besides bloody knuckles!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why don't you talk about it with me, then?
<DeathStar> <John> Know what? I was referring to the fact you had a new idiot bodyguard, supposedly.
<Chad`Winters> Then you've learned more than I have. *he begins to hop and ram his left knee into the bag* You asked me earlier if I wonder about my old self, and to that I do."
* Arhn just stares at him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What do you wonder about?
<Shiva> There are hidden dangers to such things, I don't know if I'd want to see you pulled into this.
<DeathStar> 6* John swallows. "What?"
<Arhn> ..nothing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm your friend, Shiva, and I can tell you want to talk. You're practically screaming it.
<DeathStar> <John> So, are you two having a ladies night out? It was Katrina's idea, right?
* Chad`Winters steps back and takes a deep breath, wiping the sweat from his brow. 1
<Ceres> "Of course it was." *smiles*
<Chad`Winters> Why I'm here...
<Ceres> "Though you'd be a nice chaperone for us. Not sure how much Arhn's glare will keep the men at bay."
<Aielin> Listen Ry, think about it logically. even if you meditated and found a way to harmonize your strength, that kind of power would shatter your bones instantly- Your muscles would break your bones! There has to be a balance, and THIS is part of that harmony. I'm compacting the calcium in my knuckles, creating stronger more dense bones. Thats probably WHY it takes 20 years.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Perhaps you're here because you need to be here.
<DeathStar> <John> Something tells me they'll leave you alone with me here. 6He glances at some of the men scowling in his direction. He turns back, to look at them both.
<Shiva> You know for a fact what The Cartel is capable with the rescue of your brother, right?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Rylon> 14"He was an old man..do you think his bones or muscles are stronger then your own?"
<Ceres> "So you're the famous John McCormick."
<Shiva> That takes quite the resources won would imagine right?
<DeathStar> <John> That would be me.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes, I would imagine it would take a considerable amount of resources. 6She says with a nod.
<Chad`Winters> Hmm...I've come to the belief that not everything what it seems.
<Rylon> NRP: Brb
<Arhn> The have no spines...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks around. "It is not...?"
<Ceres> "You seemed taller on television."
* Rylon has quit IRC (Quit: )
<DeathStar> 6* John smiles. "I also hear I'm better looking on television." 6He glances at Arhn. "I take it you like a man with a spine, then? Because I have one."
<Chad`Winters> Something seems amiss...I go through books within 3-4 hours depending on the difficulty, normal people don't do that...
<Ceres> "Very much so..." *she grins up at him*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr listens to him curiously.
* Shiva runs her hand through her hair. 1"I don't know if I want to drag you into this...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans forward. "What's so big and bad about the Cartel that you're worried about it?"
<Arhn> I am not loooking for any form of...sexual intimacy.
<DeathStar> <John> Reading you loud and clear. 6He says with a nod, finishing Kat's drink.
<Shiva> Knowledge is dangerous Katrina, you know that for a fact. Not everything is what it appears, while the surface is true, the underside can be less devout.
* Rylon has joined #Taw
<Chad`Winters> I find myself picking up on things quicker than most people do. If you look at my log time for shuttles you'll find that by all means I should be a rookie, yet I won that race, although I almost crashed several times.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits there, considering that.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So you believe you have quicker than human learning abilities?
* Ceres appears very interested in John, "So what are you doing around here?"
<Chad`Winters> It would appear so. I've accomplished more things in the 1 year that I've been here than most have accomplished in a life time.
<DeathStar> <John> Me? Spy games. 6He says seriously.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. Why do you believe you can do this?
<Ceres> "Oh really, spying on who?"
<Chad`Winters> That's the big question isn't it? *lunges forward, this time using both arms and his legs, pounding away on the punching bag*
<DeathStar> <John> That would be tel-ling. 6He says, breaking up the word in a sing-song voice.
<Aielin> Well if he's been at this for hundreds of years, his bones certainly would be.
<Shiva> The Cartel is driven by money. Not all of these means are deemed...Correct.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to be studying him, perhaps even observing to see if she can see anything unusual
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, the Cartel has some shady business and you don't like being part of it? 6She guesses.
<Shiva> Oh you have me all wrong Katrina, I enjoy my job rather well...It's holding the secret for so long that pains me.
<Rylon> 14"His training can't stop age..that had nothing to do with sheer body mass.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans back. "And what is this secret?"
<Shiva> Perhaps in due time Katrina. *her mood has changed to more of a happier one*
<DeathStar> <John McCormick> But I'll let you both in a little secret. It's about power.
<Ceres> "Awww, you can tell little ol' me..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tilts her head and smiles. "Oh, Shiva."
<Arhn> That can mean many things...
* Chad`Winters spins around, swinging his left arm out and slamming it into the side of the punching bag, he holds it against it, letting out a deep breathe.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Arhn now. "It's about who has it and how they use it. When someone has power over you, you just have to learn how to use it back against them. That's what I'm looking into."
* Shiva flashes a smile at her. 1"Let's rejoin the others.
* Aielin pauses, thinking. He rubs his chin* you know, a good student asks questions. Perhaps we should ask him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I believe you should accept your gifts and use them for good. When... "life gives you lemons, make lemonaid."
* Rylon has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* John steps up, tapping an envelope on the table. "This is for Kat. No peeking." 6He says seriously, turning and walking into the dance crowd.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hops off the sink counter. "Alright."
<Chad`Winters> It would still nice to know who my parents are or were and why I am the way I am today...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. That must be sad.
<Chad`Winters> It may be something that drives me to stay alive.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I find that I just consider my family the one I have with me now. 6She says seriously.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out of the bathroom, walking back toward the tabler.
* Shiva moves out after her.
<Arhn> Katrina...you had a delivery.
<Chad`Winters> *steps back from the punching bag* A life lesson learned well. But that is the price of knowledge isn't it?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at the delivery, shaking her head. "Subtle...." 6She says, sitting down and taking envelope into hand.
* Shiva moves to her seat and takes it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What will you do if you learn your answers? 6She tilts her head.
<Chad`Winters> That's something I can't answer until the time it happens.
<Shiva> So girls, did we miss much?
<Arhn> Just public enemy number one."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hope he didn't speak out of line to you. 6She says seriously to Arhn.
* Rylon has joined #Taw
<Shiva> He's not as bad as you'd think.
<Arhn> I am not offended..
<Ceres> "Speak out of line? The man is very charming..." *she says a little dreamily*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Ceres, then sighs. "And the McCormick charm strikes again."
<Aielin> Do you know where the Master is staying on PAX?
* Ceres blushes, "Eh?"
* Shiva raises her eyebrow at Ceres comment.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nothing. Lets get this girl's night back on track.
<DeathStar> Session Ends
Session Close: Wed Mar 15 23:33:55 2006
