The Alien Wars 5: Trinity
Alternate Session 6
INCOMPLETE - Iceheart and maybe some other stuff
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in Warren's military base, drinking in the mess hall, while Zephyr is at Darien's mansion, peering at the backyard pool in her bathing suit
* #Taw-Alternate is being logged
<Tabetha> * Jonas steps into the mess hall, looking about, wearing a uniform with a dark undershirt, notable since the uniform top is open currently, he runs a hand over short hair as he takes in his surroundings.
<Tabetha> * Jonas halts in front of Cheryl, giving her a once over. He takes a seat across from her. "Hello there."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him, deadpanned. "Can I help you, Private?"
<Tabetha> Jonas> "Just getting to know the folks on my team is all." *he puts out a hand* "Private Jonas Williams."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> General Cheryl. 6* She notes, not taking his hand, but another swig.
<Tabetha> * Jonas puts his hand down and shrugs. "Good to meet you."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts
<Tabetha> Jonas> "I see, the articulate type. Well if you're here, it'll be nice serving under a command I've been under before." *he grins lopsidedly*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't recall you being under me before
* Chad-Woooork is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, after being ignored, rises and walks off.
<Tabetha> Jonas> *rises, moving after her* Centerpoint. I was a gunnery chief.
<DeathStar> 6* This time Cheryl ignores him. Apparantly 15 mins is her limit on being ignored
<Tabetha> Jonas> "You were in charge of the fleet, if I remember."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts and exits the mess hall
<Tabetha> * Jonas still follows. "Weapon's expert, if it fires ammunition, blows shit up, or both, I can usually operate it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns her head a bit to eye Jonas now. "I can read a file if I want to know what all you can do."
<Tabetha> * Jonas eyes her back and shrugs again. "Just trying to be friendly with a good looking commanding officer."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "Focus on the last two words of that line."
<Tabetha> * Jonas halts and salutes, getting a straight posture, it's hard to tell if it's to make a point or serious, since he does it with such a practiced move. "Sorry Ma'am."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> IF you're looking for a good looking female to dazzle, you'll find plenty on this base that match your rank just fine.
<Tabetha> Jonas> "Just paying you a compliment Ma'am. But I'll keep that in mind." *he smirks a bit* "But if you ever feel up to it, I'd be happy to buy you a drink."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pass. 6* She notes, her tone leaving no hint of any possibilities with her. After all, this is a S15 Cheryl
<Tabetha> Jonas> "A pity, I could use a good drinking partner." *he changes his stance to parade rest* "Permission to bugger off, Ma'am."
<Kit> 6Chii blares over the intercom. 1"Cheeeerry!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh. Whatever. 6* She eyes him, clearly not used to such talk.
<Tabetha> Jonas> *raises a brow* "I take it you don't get formal very often unless some guy persistently annoys you."
<Kit> 6Chii blares over Cheryl's comm then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I just do my job. 6* She pauses to eye her comm, a twitch there
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the fuck
<Tabetha> * Jonas raises a brow. "Glad I'm not the only stalker. I'll leave you to it."
<Kit> <Chii> <C> CHEEERRY! I know you're there. I can heeear you!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives him a look that says if he leaves her alone with the comm, he's a dead man
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What do you want, Chii. How are you even contacting me
<Tabetha> * Jonas freezes and watches.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slowly moves to hit the end button after Chii doesn't respond
<Kit> 6There's a sudden high-pitched squeal
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks in pain. "What the hell!"
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Zephyr stands on the diving board, peering over at the water
<Tabetha> * Jonas runs a finger in his ear. "Think I burst an ear drum... the hell."
<Kit> <Chii> <C> Not funny, Kat!!
<DeathStar> 6* The sounds of Chii's clothing coming off can be heard.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... .....
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hands JOnas the comm and moves on
<Kit> <Chii> I WANT TO GO DRINKING WHEN I VISIT, CHERRY, KAY THANKS BAI-BAI!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ......... Looks like you found a drinking buddy, Jonas
* Kit is now known as Kit[Away]
<Tabetha> * Jonas eyes the comm, staring at it. "Jeez."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves down the hallway, then sees her bottle is empty. She tchs, turning to move back toward the entrance; who knows how many she's had already and if she can even drive
<Chad`Winters> 6A voice coughs a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches into vest to get her keys, wearing her cowboy hat, vest, and jeans combo with a white shirt under the vest
<Chad`Winters> I'll drive you. 6He moves up, Aya in one arm and his hand out for the keys
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him, wondering how he even got clearance to be on base
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I see I need to fire that other Private. 6* She eyes Jonas. "From now on you, you deal with people who try to get passes to enter the base."
<Tabetha> Jonas> "Sure thing."
* Chad`Winters rubs the back of his neck.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I'm drinking that dy, don't give this one a pass, or he'll try to annoy me
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gestures
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Since he knows perfectly well I can drive.
<Tabetha> * Jonas looks him up and down. "Noted."
<Chad`Winters> Of course she can drive, just not perfectly well
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cute. If you plan to come, Chad, then you're riding with me. 6* She smiles, showing her teeth, then steps forward to give Aya a hug
<DeathStar> 6* Then steps back to eye him to see if he's willing to ride while she drives
<Chad`Winters> I'm driving you so, yeah. 6He shifts Aya out so she can hug her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. I'm driving. You need to learn the definition of riding.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds out her hand for his keys
<Tabetha> * Jonas crosses his arms, watching them go.
<Chad`Winters> You want to drive me car?
<Chad`Winters> NRP my
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have a bike. You want to get on the bike with Aya, be my guest, I was being generous
<Chad`Winters> You. 6He gestures as he hands her his keys. 1"Drive a bike?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. That way I don't have to give rides to annoying people.
<Chad`Winters> I love you too.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it, snorting and moving on. "Your dad is jealous I have a bike and he doesn't, Aya."
<Chad`Winters> Not all of us have a bank account like you do.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just because I only spend my money I make from the military on booze, doesn't make me rich
<Chad`Winters> Booze is cheap. Try redesigning a tact suit so it can handle...6He starts to go into complex theories
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We both know you're talking over my head. 6* She lies, entering the parking lot
<Chad`Winters> Aya understood it all.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, not agreeing since lying is bad
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, she is smarter than me, too. 6* She unlocks the car door and gets in
* Chad`Winters smiles at her, kissing her head a bit for being honest. He shifts to put her in the back in her carseat. He then shifts to get in the passenger seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers toward Jonas. "IF you're going ot learn where the bar is, better get in."
* Chad`Winters eyes Jonas then her. 1"Seriouslly?
<Tabetha> * Jonas nods and gets into the back. He gives Chad the "i'm watching you" motion.
* Chad`Winters gives him the, if you dare cross me or say the wrong thing around my daughter I'll end you, look. He then smiles
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smirks at Chad, probably having done it to annoy Chad on some level, then begins to drive. "You wanted to come."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Jonas. "Aunt Cheryl's boyfriend?"
<Chad`Winters> I just offered to drive you somewhere safely. 6He glances at Aya and shrugs
<Tabetha> Jonas> "Not a boyfriend. Employee." *he gives the girl a smile*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And did you end up staying with Darien?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Aunt Cheryl your boss?
<Tabetha> Jonas> "That's right. She's my ranking officer."
<Chad`Winters> For now until the Dark One's aren't an issue anymore
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You hear that Angela fell off the grid after just 2 days?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles
<Chad`Winters> I've heard murmurs. 6He reaches upto adjust his sunvisor, eyeing Jonas in the mirror briefly. 1"Maybe for the best."
<Tabetha> * Jonas grins at the kid. "Do you know the military ranks?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's Angela. Who knows. She might have joined the Dark Ones
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls up at her favorite bar, having made Warren get the base closest to it, probably
<Chad`Winters> I'll drudge around to see if I can find anything about her whereabouts just to be safe. 6He eyes the bar. 1"Couldn't have just gone to the liqour store to buy some booze?"
<Tabetha> Jonas> "Bright kid aren't you?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Are you offering to buy me booze, then? 6* She eyes him
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods again
<Chad`Winters> It's what it sounded like to me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright. 6* She eyes her datapad, trying to find a booze store
* Chad`Winters starts to list some nearby
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him a moment. "Just happened ot have that in memory, do you?"
<DeathStar> 6* She turns to drive to one, already calculatnig the closest one based on the list. Despite her claiming to be dumb
<Tabetha> * Jonas looks at them both curiously from behind.
<Chad`Winters> Do you expect anything less from me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. 6* She pulls up at one, but doesn't take his money as she gets out to go inside
* Chad`Winters shifts to get out and he moves to the back and opens the door, pulling Aya out and holding her in one arm. He then moves to follow Cheryl inside.
<Tabetha> * Jonas gets out and heads after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl immediately grabs the hard liqours, somehow able to balance them all as she puts them at the counter, goes back, puts more, goes back
<Tabetha> * Jonas looks impressed, buying a small bottle of cheap rocket fuel while he watches.
* Chad`Winters shifts out his holocard and hands it to the clerk.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was kidding about you buying. I can handle this. 6* She notes, not even considering the what month it is in relation to her
<Chad`Winters> I know. 6He smiles at her and shifts a hand to tickle his daughters side gently
<DeathStar> 6* Aya squirms while Cheryl shows her license to the bartender when asked, despite looking 24. She deadpans as he eyes her birthdate, then her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look at the race.
<Tabetha> * Jonas raises a brow slowly, he watches the exchange.
<Chad`Winters> She's a dragoon. If you have a problem. I'll buy it then.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shows her teeth, scaring the man into doing it either way
<DeathStar> 6* He begins to bag it up
<Chad`Winters> Things going smoothly so far? 6He smiles at his daughter again, pausing for a second, then slowly moves his hand towards her side again
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh? 6* She looks at him, distracted from her annoyance
<Chad`Winters> The base and its operations.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Even getting new recruits in. 6* She nods at Jonas, grabbing her five bags and lugging it back out; this time she takes the back seat
<Tabetha> * Jonas walks after her, grinning a little.
* Chad`Winters takes his card back and follows after her. He shifts Aya in the back seat now and points at Cheryl. 1"Now you keep an eye on her."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Okay! 6* She looks at Cheryl seriously, while Cehryl opens one bottle
<Tabetha> Jonas> "Who's driving?" *he eyes Chad, as though curious to his response*
* Chad`Winters doesn't respond as he shuts the door and moves to the driver's door and gets in.
<Tabetha> * Jonas gets in the passenger side, he chuckles.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Clearly Aya is
<Chad`Winters> Huh? 6He looks back at Cheryl as he starts his car up
<Tabetha> * Jonas leans back a little and shakes his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chad, then takes a swig of her bottle. "Nothing."
* Chad`Winters shrugs and he starts driving, heading in a different direction then the base.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks, apparantly not concerned, since she has her booze and Jonas is there to partake in whatever Chad has planned. It seems she set it up to have both in play - her booze and someone to annoy Chad
<Tabetha> Jonas> "Chad Winters, right?"
* Chad`Winters grunts as a park with a play gym can be seen in the distance
<Tabetha> Jonas> "Okay, we'll develop a system, one grunt for yes, two for no."
* Chad`Winters parks the car and he shuts it off and gets out. He moves to the back and pulls his daughter out and looks over at Cheryl. 1"You can drink in there.
<Tabetha> * Jonas gets out and looks around.
<Chad`Winters> 6It's a big park with a lake and several kids areas.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And miss scaring the kids in the park by drinking in front of them? 6* She grabs a bag and steps out, waving at other familes as she stands by Chad; together they look like they could both be Aya's parents
<DeathStar> *kids parens
<Tabetha> * Jonas chuckles quietly and crosses his arms, leaning on the car a little and watching, also keeping a look out.
* Chad`Winters shifts his daughter onto his shoulders and he puts an arm around her, giving her a hug for the other familes to see.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a big swig; people shake their heads at Cheryl, mumbling. She moves over and sits on a bench with a bunch of other mothers now, offering out a bottle to one eyeing her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your face looks like it needs one
* Chad`Winters shakes his head and he moves over to the play gym and sets Aya down, kneeling. 1"If you need anything. I'll be by Cheryl, alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods as she looks at his lips, then movesoff to play
* Chad`Winters smiles and he moves over to Cheryl and turns to watch his daughter now. She'll be going in for surgery soon. I'd like it if you and Ben were there.
* Chad`Winters smiles and he moves over to Cheryl and turns to watch his daughter now. 1"She'll be going in for surgery soon. I'd like it if you and Ben were there.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. I'll be there.
<Tabetha> * Jonas peers at them, then over at Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tosses a bottle at him while he's not looking
<Tabetha> * Jonas grabs it, looking at it for the possibility of booze.
<DeathStar> 6* It's strong, strong booze
<Tabetha> * Jonas takes a swig, looking pleased.

Session Start: Sat Mar 06 00:00:00 2010
Session Ident: #Taw-Alternate
* Chad`Winters shifts back, eyeing a mother who quickly gets up and he plops down beside Cheryl, resting his arms on the back of the bench
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works on another bottle
<Chad`Winters> Do you plan on staying in the military for awhile?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh? Yeah, I guess so.
* Chad`Winters nods slightly. 1"I was wondering if after we take care of the rest of these Scars and and it's safe around here, would you want to get a place together?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She peers up. "There will always be more threats out there. I don't see me leaving the military. It's what I was born to do, literally."
<Tabetha> * Jonas takes another swig.
<Chad`Winters> I was also created to be a cold blooded killer. 6He notes. 1"But it doesn't change my question. 6He glances at her briefly then looks ahead at his daughter. 1"I think she'd enjoy it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's more practical for me to leave on the base I'm working. Also, I'm loud mouthed, I curse, I drink a lot, I'm not exactly organized. You don't want Aya picking up my habits and hearing what comes out of my mouth."
<Chad`Winters> Afraid her good habits will rub of on you? 6He says jokingly then looks ahead a slight distant look. 1"But I get it. I thought I'd throw it out there regardless.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thanks for the offer. Really. But trust me. Better to stick with the way things are. Besides, I'm sure you two will pop up a few times a week as is. And I'll go to the Starr mansion to see you all and Zephyr, too
<Chad`Winters> Probably more often then that and the more you show up with Ben the better it'll be.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just gets to her feet and takes a swig, moving off for the car. "Think I'll wait in the car."
* Chad`Winters frowns at that and he leans forward to just watch his daughter now
<DeathStar> 6* And in a tricky manuever, while Chad watches Aya, Cheryl takes her booze and moves on, not staying in the car. Though she does set her cowboy hat up so it looks like she's in there
<Tabetha> * Jonas watchign her, follows her away from the Winters duo.
<Tabetha> * Someone steps up behind Chad.
* Kit[Away] is now known as Kit
* Chad`Winters 's left hand shifts a bit, but his eyes stay focused on his daughter
<Tabetha> * He leans down. "Mr. Chad Winters?"
<Chad`Winters> Depends on who's asking.
<Tabetha> Man> "Agent Samuels, I'm with the local precinct, we need to have a talk."
<Chad`Winters> I'm busy right now.
<Tabetha> Man> "We need to know where you were last night between 9 PM and 10 PM."
<Chad`Winters> Why?
<Tabetha> Man> "We're current investigating the murder of several people involved in your father's affairs."
<Chad`Winters> This late after his death?
<Tabetha> Man> "Why we're not digging up his grave to look for a suspect, Mr. Winters." *he holds out something, it looks like a photo*
* Chad`Winters idly reaches for it with his right hand and hold sit infront of his face, his one eye staying on his daughter.
<Tabetha> * It's a rather large photograph, he'll need to either hold it away from his face and look at it or just stare at a corner, which looks like a wooden floor covered in what could be blood.
* Chad`Winters sets it on the bench and he gets up. 1"Like I said. I'm busy right now. You want to question me, get a warrant." He starts moving to the playground to get his daughter now
<Tabetha> * The man reaches out, grabbing his shoulder. "Listen buddy..."
* Chad`Winters pauses. 1"Please take your hand off me."
<Tabetha> Man> "Look, we've got cause, don't make me take you down town."
<Chad`Winters> And I'm here with my daughter. You want to talk to me, you can do it later.
<Tabetha> * The man lets go of his shoulder, "I see, in that case, we'll drop by later. We know where you're staying."
<Chad`Winters> Smart choice. 6He notes and he moves to the playground.
<Tabetha> * The man turns and leaves, taking the photograph with him.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
<Kit> 6Megumi springs from the depths-- not unlike a dolphin, waving at Zephyr before arching and submerging in a dive.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks. <H-How'd you do that?>
<Kit> <Megumi> <I know how to swim good! Using minimal movement and whole body to propel!>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <... can you teach me?!>
<Kit> <Megumi> <Can you swim without relying on your arms..?>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Well...no>
<Kit> <Megumi> <Must learn that first!>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers, then dives in, trying to swim with her legs only --- and promptly sinks
<Kit> 6Megumi glides over to her and reaches down, trying her feet and knees together with one of the ribbons that had been tying her hair back, using another to wrap around her at the ribs, pinning her arms to her sides.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <H-Hey! What are you doing?!>
<Kit> <Megumi> <Now forced to learn the principles!>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puffs her cheeks, then struggles to move under the water in such a position
<Kit> 6Megumi exhales, allowing herself to sink and sit cross-legged on the bottom, staring.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr comically squirms about in the water like a reject as she tries to learn how to move
<Kit> <Megumi> <Currently a tadpole swims better!>
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr jerks at that, reddening and struggling harder to learn, her pride stung
Session Close: Sun Mar 07 00:00:00 2010
* Chad`Winters sits next to the pool at Darien's mansion, some work on the table infront of him
<Kaelan> * A maid walks by Chad, pausing to clean the opposite end of the table as she makes her rounds, she has brown hair and deep green eyes, dressed in a proper uniform.
* Chad`Winters doesn't pay the maid much mind since it is Darien's place
<Kaelan> * She leans over curiously. "What are you working on handsome?"
<Chad`Winters> Things above your pay grade.
<Kaelan> * She stands back a little. "Ouch, harsh. Because I'm a maid I can't possibly understand engineering work huh?"
Session Close: Wed Mar 17 00:00:00 2010
* Chad`Winters glances at her briefly then down back at his work. 1"If you understood engineering you wouldn't be a maid then."
<Kaelan> "Not all of us are born geniuses with fancy inheritances from big time general fathers, Mr. Winters." *she winks and finishes wiping down the table* "Some of us have loans to pay."
<Chad`Winters> For starters, everything I own I paid for with my own money. And to clear things up, I don't have any inheritence from him.
<Kaelan> * The girl smiles, probably not buying it, then folds up the rag. "Well, for your information I have a Masters in Earth Literature and Language Composition. This is mostly a side gig." *she winks and starts to clean off one of the chairs*
<Chad`Winters> And what's that have to do with engineering?
<Kaelan> Girl> "Absolutely nothing, but it's not actually above my paygrade." *she grins softly and sets the chair right* "Probably shouldn't judge people by the position they're in."
* Chad`Winters grunts and he continues working. 1"Everybody judges people by what they see infront of them."
<Kaelan> Girl> "Not everyone."
* Chad`Winters grunts again.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr struggles about at the bottom of the pool, tied up still
* Chad`Winters glances over at the water
<DeathStar> 6* A Zephyr fishes continues to try to wiggle swim while tied
* Chad`Winters slowly gets up, setting his datapad down and he pulls off his shirt and tosses it onto the table as he takes his shoes and socks off
<Kaelan> * The maid whistles and grabs a tray, moving to go inside.
* Chad`Winters hops into the pool then goes under and swims towards Zephyr. He grabs onto the rope that has her tied up and kicks off to the surface
<DeathStar> 6* The Zephyr fish dangles along
* Chad`Winters moves to a part he can stand and he shifts her around and lifts her up and onto the pool edge.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr spits out water. "How the hell does she do it?!"
<Chad`Winters> Do what? 6He moves to climb out and moves behind her, where he starts to work on untieing the rope
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Swim like a dolphin. I've been in that pool for months now! (A gag on real time. Not really months)
<Chad`Winters> What's swimming like a dolphin have to do with anything? 6He finishes untieing the rope and he stands up now, running his hand through his hair.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It looks cool.
<Chad`Winters> I can tie you back up and put you back in if you want. 6He moves back to his table and grabs his shirt, putting it back on
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No thanks. I'm all wrinkly now. Do you think I'll stay this way? 6* She asks, shaking her wet hair about; it's to her lower back now
<Chad`Winters> You'll be fine in probably 20 minutes. 6He eyes his work.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scoots over, sticking out her lower lip. "Aw, you didn't even look at me when you said that. Way to crush a girl."
<Kaelan> * The maid comes back around setting down drinks. "He enjoys being mean to girls."
<Chad`Winters> Sorry about that. 6He gives her an apologetic look.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, glancing at the maid, then at Chad. "Did you insult the maid?"
<Chad`Winters> Most likely. 6He looks back at his work, and startst writing down things
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sways to side in her cute one piece bathing suit. "So, how do I look? I just bought this bathing suit the other day!"
<Chad`Winters> You look cute. 6He grabs a straight edge and starts drawing on some paper now
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hangs her head
<Chad`Winters> Something wrong? 6He pauses to look at her
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You didn't even glance at me when you said that. You're suppose to at least LOOK at a girl when you say she's cute.
<Chad`Winters> I have a photographic memory, I knew what you looked like from...6He taps his head.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Still! A girl likes to be looked at when she gets a compliment!!
<Chad`Winters> I'll remember that from now on. 6He looks back at his work again
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a show of flopping over at that
* Chad`Winters glances at her. 1"Now what did I do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just gives the maid an exasperated look. "That's Chad for you. It's why we love him."
<Chad`Winters> Right. 6He goes back to his project
<Chad`Winters> I'm think I'm far from loveable.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nah. You're totally loveable.
<Chad`Winters> IF you say so.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves, still wet, and hugs onto him, pinching at his cheeks. "Lov-a-ble."
* Chad`Winters doesn't respond much from the pinching, keeping his natural stoic expression. 1"You do realize I can pinch harder, right?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But would you pinch cute little ol' me?
* Chad`Winters reaches up and pinchces her cheek.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flails. "O-O-Ow!"
* Chad`Winters let's go after a moment and he shifts to focus back on his work.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her cheeks furiously
Session Close: Thu Mar 18 00:00:00 2010
Session Start: Fri Mar 26 00:00:00 2010
Session Ident: #Taw-Alternate
<DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl beats up an alternate bag
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly sneaks up behind Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Doesn't notice as she abuses it
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps up to land on Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a noise as she stumbles and falls over
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers down at her. 1"H-How'd that happen?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to bring her elbow up for his side
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hurks and he stumbles to the side
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises, then throws a jab at his throat
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grabs at the incoming jab.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl brings her knee up to follow, at his stomach
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok brings his other hand down to grab the incoming knee, he pauses as he realizes his one hand is holding the jab and the other her knee. 1"Aww fuck."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl swings her fist in for his face
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' head snaps back and he stumbles
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You need more training
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his face now. 1"Or I need more arms.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Atleast I got the drop on you finally
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> IT was just easier to get you within reach
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Or maybe you just wanted me to get closer to you. 6He leans in, grinning
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him with her expression changing from deadpan
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly shifts into a fighting stance, bouncing a bit then drops his arms. 1"So when w gonna go drinking?"
<Kaelan> * Jonas steps in and eyes the two curiously.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do you have money?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Do I have money. 6He laughs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do you have enough to treat a woman?
<Kaelan> * Jonas walks over to a training bag.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You do know who I am, don't you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're ... ... 6* She eeys her datapad, going through personnel files
<Chad`Winters> <DiaS> Oh you're hilarious.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm told I'm pretty funny
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sometimes. 6He notes. 1"But yeah if you want, I can buy the higher ranked officer a night out on the town
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why go out? Can't you bring it here with "Your connections"
<Kaelan> * Jonas starts to work a punching bag over with trained punches.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And have you have sometthing over my head? I don't know about that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl. So you can't
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh huh
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias narrows his eyes at that. 1"And what do you want?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl names 100 kinds of alcohol bottles, and a bartender
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> The bartender too?!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias cracks his knuckles. 1"Challenge accepted!" 6He turns and runs off
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. I wonder if he'll manage

* Chad-Sleep is now known as Chad`Winters
<Chad`Winters> 6The sound of something rolling can be heard coming towards Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts behind her, whips Jonas's legs, and throw him at the object, then goes back to looking for things to hit
<Chad`Winters> 6A liqour bottle breaks, apparently some good stuff too
<Anyata> * Jonas groans and picks himself up. "...Do I get guard's pay on top of my usual salary?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're the one standing around me all the time. No.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pokes his head into the training room. 1"B-But that was an expensive bottle of rum."
<Anyata> Jonas> "It's your overflowing Charisma boss." *he dusts himself off and eyes his pants, soaked with rum*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't have charisma.
<Anyata> Jonas> "You've got this Dias guy giving you the puppy dog eyes."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He does that to anything with breasts. 6* She finally peers at the two
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> More so when that breasts break a bottle of rum.
<Anyata> * Jonas slowly eyes Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Jonas now. "Seems he likes you."
<Anyata> Jonas> "Do I have to keep him? I'm bad with pets."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias holds his puppy dog face. 1"You owe me for breaking Cheryl's bottle."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh, give him away.
<Anyata> Jonas> "Alright, I'll leave him at the local shelter."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Give me away and you'll never find that alcohol you wanted...6He starts to slowly pull his head back from the entryway. 1"Or that Bartender~"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell them he hasn't had his shots.
<Anyata> * Jonas nods, "Yes Ma'am."
<Anyata> * Jonas starts to move towards Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I bite. 6He points a finger at Jonas
<Anyata> Jonas> "I blow things up."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Good thing I'm a brawler, you'll wind up blowing yourself up also.
<Anyata> * Jonas walks up to him, eyeing him. "Let's go."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nope. 6He crosses his arms.
<Anyata> Jonas> "Can't buy you a new bottle of rum standing here." *he says with an unchanged expression*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you mean you need an adult?
<Anyata> Jonas> "The lady doesn't want company."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is talking on her comm, ordering new training bots.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Of course not. 6He pats him on the shoulder and he moves past him towards Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Listen, if you can't provide, I'll make my own. ... don't fucking laugh at me. I can make a training bot if I wanted.
<Anyata> * Jonas just shakes his head and turns, crossing his arms to watch.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts pulling off his hoody and tosses it to the side.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Fine. Send me all the parts and I assemble one myself. ... yes, I know you have tens of thousnads of parts. Bill it to Warren.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're gonna build me a training bot that can finally hold up to my abuse?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Then I guess I'm insulted. 6He pulls his shirt off and stretches now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives some codes and info
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias claps his hands together then kicks off at Cheryl, throwing a quick kick for his right side
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't even bother dodging, merely listing off information and whatnot.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls his foot back. 1"Not even going to take me serious.
<Anyata> * Jonas just shakes his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks off finally. "I'm sure Jonas will spar with you." 6* She notes, moving over for the exit. She sniffs Jonas alcohol cover shirt thoughtfully, then steps out
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you ask me to get you a crap ton of booze and a bartender and then you snuff me.
<Anyata> * Jonas smirks, then looks over at Dias. "Think I just found my new cologne. Thanks Dias."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm sure you'll hit off well with her. 6He shifts his arms behind his neck. 1"Well if you'll excuse me, I've got a shit ton of booze to drink and a bartender to pay."
<Anyata> Jonas> "By all means."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves past him and out of the training room.
<DeathStar> 6* Personnel move about the base, carrying "supplies" and a man into the messhall
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers at all the supplies and then at the man.
<DeathStar> 6* It looks like a bartender and the supplies look like alcohol
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias casually walks into the messhall
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits at a table that's lined up with booze, ordering the man what to mix and stir together
<Chad`Winters> 6The man seems to be subpar at it all. Dias plops down beside Cheryl. 1"Huh, it appears you found all the booze." 6He says in a faked surprise voice.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh? 6* She looks at Dias. "This is the booze I ordered after it took you so long." 6* She says with a complete straight face. "Did you get some, too?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe, let me know if this stuff's watered down and or the cheap stuff. I never bring the good stuff in the obvious way.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets her drink and throws it back, then orders more stuff. Personnel crowd about, getting orders in, too.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well if it is your stuff, then I guess we can have a real party when I bring out my stuff
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmhmm. 6* She notes'
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets another glass.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah I figured you'd find the stuff. 6He shrugs apparently not caring and he whistles the bartender to mix him a drink. 1"But you got what you wanted."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pounds the drink and grabs another. 1"This upto your standards?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. 6* She shrugs a bit, going through glass after glass
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll take that as you tried atleast. 6He motions the bartender over and whispers into his ear who nods and moves off. 1"I originally wanted to hire a monkey in a suit to bartend but you wouldn't believe how expensive it is to train one of those.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his hands together as the bartender comes back with a oddly shaped bottle that looks old. 1"So you're going to build a training bot, huh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Nothing around here is adequate.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That hurts.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You'll get over it. 6* She notes matter of factly. "I plan to try to give it AI routines that get smarter the more it fights."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> They can do that?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I get smarter, don't I?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well if you can make that a training bot, you must have. 6He rubs the side of his head briefly and he reaches out to open up the old bottle, a strong but smooth smelling whiskey creeps out. 1"But since other then you, I'll be the only one strong enough to take it on, won't it just wind up fighting like me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? That's good. Since if it did fight like me, it'd just end up being the awesomest stale match ever.
<Anyata> * Jonas steps into the mess hall and takes a seat, looking like he finished up his training.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I said it would get smarter as it fights. 6* She adds.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll still beat it. And then when I beat it, I'll be taking you down after.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm. If you take it down, we'll just say you won.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Afraid to lose to me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yep.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at her with an odd look then takes a slow pull from his whiskey jar and his eyes go wide
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We all know you're the man. 6* She adds, her tone making it sound like she could be mocking, or not.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias let's out a huff. 1"That's some goooooood whiskey. It took me 12 of my rarer comic books to eventually get my hands on this stuff, but it's worth it. Oh and I know I'm the man and I appreciate it everytime you say it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That right?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl downs her next drink
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods. 1"Not enough compliments in the world. 6He grabs an empty glass and pours some of the whiskey into it and holds it out to Cheryl.

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at it, then shakes her head once. "If it's really that rare, you should save it for someone who doesn't guzzle alcohol down without really tasting it."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I didn't offer it for taste as much as to offer to share a glass of something rare with aclose friend.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it. "Alright." 6* She sniffs it a bit, her nose wrinkled, but she downs it
<Chad`Winters> 6It's smooth as can be.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think we should build a booze bottle prison for Jonas.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll assume that's a guy thing. Just as long as you two boys don't make a mess.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Marcus pissed me off one night while we were drinking and to punish him, I put him in a corner and put him in beer can prison. Should've seen how freaked out he was when he woke up in the morning
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I --- see. 6* She seems to make a mental note about something. It's almost as if one can tell that Marcus has been recategorized
<Anyata> * Jonas downs a drink while looking over a list of weapons.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hindsight, the next time I passed out before him. I wound up hanging upside down from a lamp pole.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She opens her mouth, then closes it, as if deciding, finally, she has no response to that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So we had to call a truce for a week since we knew it'd only escalate worse...and because it gave me time to set up my revenge
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your ... revenge. 6* She says slowly, as if unsure she wants to know, but at the same time, deciding silence isn't the way to go, either
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yes. I put out an ad in the dating section of the holopaper for a male seeking shemale company and posted his number, his comm number and his holo-mail address
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shemale. That's... a woman with a penis?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think so, you'll have to ask Marcus the next time you see him
<DeathStar> <Chery> ...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Boy were those good times.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets another glass of alcohol and downs it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias finishes the rest of the botle of whiskey and he sets it on the counter. He slowly tilts back and falls off the chair and onto his back
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers down at him slowly, blinking. "Seriously?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly raises his hand up and gives her a proud thumbs up
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I-- ... 6* She shakes her head at him. "And here I thought you could drink more than that."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can, this stuff's just good. 6He rolls a bit, then pauses and rolls the other way, then pauses then rolls back the first way and onto his stomach. He pushes himself up quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts and puts her feet on his back as he goes to get up, using him as a foot rest
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Uh huh
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses a bit as he peers around, a confused look on his face..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe we should have a drinking contest instead of fighting, then
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks and he crawls around to face up at Cheryl, looking between her legs in the process. 1"A challenge you say?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't seem to notice, being in her training outfit. "Why not. It'll get your need to beat me out of your system."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes up, throwing Cheryl's legs up or lifting them up on his shoulders. 1"Well it's not like anyone else around here's going to drink this stuff away
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her legs off of him quickly, then begins to look at bottles, getting ounces and whatnot added up, alcohol content, with a quick glance over
<DeathStar> 6* Then orders two more types of drinks and throws them back. "Okay, we're caught up."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods and he moves upto the counter.
Session Close: Fri Apr 02 00:00:00 2010
Session Start: Sun Apr 04 00:00:00 2010
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops out of the pool. <Did you see that? I did it!>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws back another drink
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Jonas. "You should join the competition." 6* She notes. "IF you're a man."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias throws his back and slides a bottle of beer to Jonas
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You'd have to drink about 9 glasses to catch up though
<Seraphna> * Jonas smiles and starts guzzling. "That all?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We could make him drink...that.
<Seraphna> * Jonas puts them empty bottle down and eyes him. "That? Save me the suspense."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans towards Cheryl. 1"I mean, do you think he could even handle it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I--- maybe? 6* She shrugs, getting 8 more glasses ready for Jonas
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Jonas thinking deeply then nods and he motions the bartender over and whispers to him
<Seraphna> * Jonas starts on the second glass. He looks unphased.
<Chad`Winters> 6The bartender comes back with a glass, that reeks over almost pure alcohol. He tops off some rocket fuel in it and slides it over to Jonas.
Session Close: Mon Apr 05 00:00:00 2010
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Jonas, waiting
<Seraphna> * Jonas eyes it and sniffs, he then grins and starts to down it.
<Chad`Winters> 6It burns like hell.
<Seraphna> * Jonas finishes and coughs, pounding his chest, he then howls and slumps. "Smooth."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's because it's burned your tastebuds clear off
<Chad`Winters> NRP: dias
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Amazing, I might go have some indian food tonight then. Whew that was some good boom juice."
<Seraphna> * Jonas peers at them blearily, then kicks back a beer to wash it down. "...If my blood alcohol ration ever goes back down, that is."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... He's weirder than you. 6* She mumbles
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh he won't remember anything in 5 minutes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're down a drink by the way. 6He slides an empty and grabs another
<Seraphna> Jonas> "How much does the juice count as?" *he picks it up* "Damn this is hitting me nicely."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We'll call you even
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sets one in front of herself, Dias, and Jonas. Then throws her's back
<Seraphna> * Jonas nods and grins, looking smashed now. He throws this one back too.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs it and pounds it down. 1"I can only imagine the crazy things that will happen tonight
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What, you mean him and you passing out?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts laughing at that
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know what would really turn me on, boys?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't respond to that new guy.
<Seraphna> Jonas> I sense danger.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smiles warmly. "What, you don't want to turn me on, Jonas?"
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks over over, then looks her over again, pointedly. "Who wouldn't want to turn you on?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sets his drink down and motions for another round and all three get a new one.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And you went ahead and opened up that bag.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans over to whisper in Jonas' ear.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Mmhmm... ah yes... I see."
<DeathStar> 6* Then she leans back grabs her new drink as they're set out
<Seraphna> * Jonas grins and downs his beer, then grabs Dias by the back of the head and kisses him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl guwafs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks at that and the next thing Jonas feels is a fist crashing into his gut
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs hard, slapping her hand down, looking slightly drunk herself, and checks her datapad. "Brilliant."
<Seraphna> * Jonas holds his gut, laughing hard, he gets up. "Well you did buy me a drink."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts spitting on the ground.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aw, that made my day. 6* She notes
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You suck, Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> 6He reaches behind the bar and grabs a lemon and starts sucking on it
<Seraphna> * Jonas washes down his shame with another beer. "Glad to know it did."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You like lemons, eh? I'll remember that
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses the leftover lemon at Jonas' face and he grabs two beers and starts chugging them fast
<Seraphna> * Jonas eyes the lemon, then Dias. "First you punch me, now you're sharing forbidden fruit?"
<Seraphna> Jonas> "I know I'm irresistable, but jeez, I was aiming my charm at the blonde."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wasn't the apple the forbidden fruit?
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Only in the garden of Eden."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs another drink, takes a sip. "mmmm..." 6 *She looks a bit dazed, squinting. "I shouldn't be this drunk." 6* She notes
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Cheryl. 1"Something wrong?
<Seraphna> Jonas> "You've knocked over quite a bit."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm? No. 6* She shakes her head once. Then eyes the bartender suspiciously, as if he might drug her drink to aid his boss
<Chad`Winters> 6The Bartender gulps at that look and steps back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Hmph. 6* She begins to switch drinks meant for her with Dias
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts drinking the new one and he pats Cheryl' shoulder. 1"It is better quality stuff then you're used to
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. You tell yourself that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe it's my intoxicating presense?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know. Jonas, do you find Dias intoxicating?
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Normally, but not in the way he's thinking."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...really don't know how to respond to that
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... me either.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You recruited him
<Seraphna> * Jonas raises a brow and finishes his beer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I think he likes you
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But he barely knows me.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Eh, he's alright."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So no more kisses?
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Only if you swoon for me."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You kiss me again and you'll wind up swallowing teeth
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm, you make it a good enough kiss, and I'll swoon.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Yours, hot stuff."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grabs a beer bottle and breaks the end off. He eyes Jonas now
<Seraphna> * Jonas laughs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a sigh, as if she were disappointed
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly sets the broken bottle down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl yawns a bit, her eyes off the number of drinks in front of her for a moment
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly peers at Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* She stretches
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then grabs her next drink, and throws it back. "Ready to give in?"
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
<Chad-Sleep> <Dias> Hardly. 6He pounds another
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tchs and gets refills

Session Ident: #Taw-Alternate
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drums her fingers on her desk, eyeing a report she hasn't filled out
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes who is on duty
<Kaelan> * Jonas is doing inventory in the armory.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus seems to be on duty, walking through the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hmmms, then comms Marcus and orders him to her office
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives a battle droid Roger Roger and then moves for the office, peeking in once he gets there. 1You needed me?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl points at the report. "Fill out this report for me. It's about what Dias and Jonas did to the mess hall after getting drunk."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fill a report out for you? Do I get a gold star beside my name?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. I'll get you a beer or something. 6* She notes; she seems to be studying him oddly compared to normal, however
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Beer is good. I can do with that. 6He steps in and closes the door. 1Since I only have the epic Dias version, you want to give me a run down? 6He takes the report and gets a pen, sitting down across from her desk.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. Well, after drinking and kissing Jonas a few times, he tried to stab him with a bottle; the two fought a bit and knock things over, like tables, and ended up on top of each other
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and looks up at her, arching a brow. 1You're fucking with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps the video log, showing him what happened. And the parts where Dias says... (one second)
* #Taw-Alternate is being logged
<DeathStar> *Video Log*
<DeathStar> <Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think we should build a booze bottle prison for Jonas.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll assume that's a guy thing. Just as long as you two boys don't make a mess.

<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Chery> ...
<DeathStar> <Chad`Winters> <Dias> Boy were those good times.
<DeathStar> *End Log*
<DeathStar> 6* After playing that section, Cheryl peers at Marcus out of the corner of her eyes to see his reaction
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stares for a bit and lets out a sigh. 1I had to change all of my personal contact information over that stunt. I guess he's just lucky that happened before the wolf thing. Now I would probably not be able to contain my rage.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you... met a ... Shemale. 6* She notes slowly
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No, no. I got a bunch of calls and e-mails from he...him...them. 6He frowns at trying to figure out what to call them. 1I think some might've just been Dias trying to make it worse though.
<Xanatos> 6* Marucs begins to write the report, pausing and glancing up slightly when trying to figure out what to put.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... And ... you were...scared by a prison of...beer bottles?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Technically? Yeah it freaked me out a bit. But I was passed out and the way it was set up made it seem like I was in a box or something. I dunno, my mindset was to kick and flail my arms. After I realized what it was we fist fought for a little while. I don't like being scared, it pisses me off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. So if I want to piss you off, I scare you
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Essentially. My sister opened a door once when I was reaching out to open it from the other side. I wasn't expecting it, and it startled me...pissed me off big time.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Studying me so you'll know how to get under my skin? 6He glances at her slightly, writing something about dias committing homosexual acts.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? Who said anything about seeing your skin. 6* She notes in a hmph, crossing her arms and leaning back in her seat. "Just making notes. Sometimes I can't decide if you're like Dias or not."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well that's easy. I can be, but then again I'm not. But that fact I didn't making a lewd comment about that seeing my skin comment should tell you I at least know how to control myself. At least in terms of everything but anger, that's not so easy.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face. "Yeah, well, anger can be useful."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh I see it's merits. If not I would be working to find a cure for...whatever this is. But until I start smelling like a mutt, I'm fine. I'm useful for once and that's nice.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You were fairly useful before. I think. Warren had you around didn't he?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sneezes somewhere
<DeathStar> 6* Still alive, apparantly, despite the GotG.
<DeathStar> 6* How peculiar. What could eb different from this reality to the main one?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I wasn't much help, I got in the way, freaked out over death and that sort of thing. Part of the reason why Dias and I are so close is he actually worked to help me become stronger. Well you saw me, I had noodle arms. 6He seems amused at the thought, choosing to not remember any of the bad things, though after a second he frowns slightly. 1I don't know if I ever apologized to you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is quiet a moment, peering at the desk, then waves a hand, as if playing something off. "What do you have to apologize for." 6* She notes gruffly
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Immaturity. Naiveity. I didn't really understand what I do now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, you've come far, Waiter Boy.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I bet you've still got a mental image of me in my sexy waiter outfit. 6He says with a smirk, finishing up the report, setting it down in front of her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You looked like a white dweeb, honestly. 6* She peers at it, nodding. "Good work."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A dweeb? I guess you're a 5 o'clock shadow and bulging muscles kinda girl? 6He nods at the compliment.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. If I had to like someone, it would be someone who could... 6* She leans back, thinking, then looks back down at the report. "Ride a horse." 6* She notes simply.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ride...a horse? 6He arches a brow a that. 1You know I thought I had you pegged, but that's different.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm a girl of mystery.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> One thing I've learned, most people are simple.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you're saying I'm simple. 6* She notes flatly
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Is that really a bad thing? I'm pretty simple, doesn't take much to make me satisfied.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm, I'm complex. The horse thing was only one requirement
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Really now? I'm listening. 6He notes, trying to get her to go on.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hmmm. Ride a horse. Look good in armor. Can use a sword. Can climb a big tower. 6* She rattles off as she logs the report. "Knows how to dance. Is romantic. Funny. Serious when needed. Knwos poetry and can cook. And likes to drink."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hm. Well I know how to dance. And my momma says I'm the funniest person she knows. So that's a start.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe one day. 6* She notes, then reaches under her desk to pull out the beer
<Kaelan> * Jonas in the armory finishes strapping on some armor and a tact suit, making sure everything fits right.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus smirks and then leans forward slightly. 1My reward?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Ot
<DeathStar> <Cehryl> It's the good stuff for the homosexual remarks
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well a man has to be honest when he's doing these reports. 6He smiles and takes the beer, giving her a nod. 1Thanks.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're an interesting one, Jones.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Coming from you that means something. You hardly give most people a second glance. Likely because you can figure them out without needed too. 6He opens the beer and takes a draw from it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mostly. Once I finish categorizing you, though, I'll probably ignore you as well. Just when I think I have you pegged as Dias like, you do something a bit different.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So what you're telling me is that I'm going to have to keep changing it up, hm? Sounds likes a good challenge. Might have to get creative.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. 6* She eyes him, as if slightly amused at the idea
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Before that, you should help me out with dropping some knowledge on me. I mean, something like being a Mime. You know, and instant hell no sort of thing.
<Xanatos> NRP: an*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like...a mime.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus smirks. 1Personas, attitudes that would cause you to lose interest instantly. Most people don't like mime's. It's my go to bad persona.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And then you get Dias like again. 6* She notes dryly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But alright. We'll see.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a chuckle. 1You know, being Dias like isn't all that bad. As tough as things have been for us he always puts on a smile, always seems to be happy. I admire that. God knows I see how things really are, how bleak it all can be. 6He takes a drink of the beer. 1You're right, this is top notch. 6He notes, peering at it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, it's his good points. I take the credit for it, though, for kicking his ass when Zephyr would have made him a pansy.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You know, from the way he tells it, you beat on him for days on end.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Psch. He asked for it. He kept coming up to me to learn how to fight
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I assumed it was because he liked Zephyr nursing him afterwards
<Xanatos> <Marcus> She's a sweet girl. I wouldn't have minded her nursing my wounds either. When our ages matched up at least.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl< Yeah, it's unfortunate she looks 15. I don't know if she'll ever find anyone
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr does the dolphin in Darien's pool, but pauses and sneezes
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Her and that Megumi seem close. Like sisters. Maybe they can go out and find boys to double date with.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts a bit. "Oh, that'd end well. They're both more naive than school girls." 6* She eyes Marcus dangerously as if he might use that to his advantage
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's lucky then. She has a big sister that isn't afraid to resort to torture.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm, torture would put it lightly. So you're not into her, then? 6* She asks slowly, leaning forward a bit. "Even if I said she told me you were cute."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We made out a few times. Before she learned to adjust her age and grew up on me. But now she's young and I'm old...er. I know that particular ship has sailed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Well. She was tired of being treated like a kid and went overboard. Way overboard. I don't know if she can even adjust her age now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you made out, though . 6* She repeats eerily
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A time or two. But that was before me and Dias was friends, which means that was when I was still a good soul.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. And how old are you now?
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Old enough I guess. I can buy alochol, legally that means I'm an adult. Birthday's actually coming up soon. But I haven't said much about it to anyone else.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mm, I see. Then you don't want anything for it
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Anything for what? My Birthday? Well, if you decided you wanted to give me something, I certainly wouldn't reject it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And what would you want? 6* She asks dryly
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Another one of these beers would be mighty nice. 6He wiggles his empty beer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mm. I might give you one then on your birthday.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Thanks. 6He holds it up slightly and gives a nod, getting to his feet. 1I should probably get back to my rounds.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. See you later, Jones
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You know where to find me...ma'am. 6He smirks and nods slightly, before shifting to step out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches him go, makes a click sound with her tongue, looking thoughtful, then goes back to work

Session Ident: #Taw-Alternate
<Kit> 6A mechanical insect spies on Jonas from the ceiling.
<Sera> * Jonas stands in the firing range, testing out an assault rifle with single shots.
<Kit> 6The mecha-dragonfly zooms down and hoves just above his head, changing angles every few seconds.
<Sera> * Jonas pauses after firing once, he swats at the air above his head.
<Kit> 6It zooms right out of reach like a real insect, though makes less noise-- well-tuned and synchronized in its flight.
<Sera> * Jonas shrugs and goes back to firing, testing burst fire on a target now, he seems to always hit his mark.
<Kit> 6The insect flies away finally. Moments later a red dot climbs Jonas' body starting at the hip, slowly rising toward his forehead
<Sera> * Jonas frowns and quickly ducks behind the next firing block. "The hell is going on."
<Kit> 6A deafening round is discharged, a hole easily identifying at least a .50 calibur cartridge spitting pieces of the block near his head and entering the far wall.
<Sera> * Jonas hits his comms to call for backup, he eyes the door and moves under cover to another location.
<Kit> 6He'd find his comm turned off. Literally. The power off when he tries-- another round discharging, erupting from the other side from another hole. As if purposely routing him toward the middle.
<Sera> * Jonas turns it on. He moves, standing and firing his rifle along the path the last shot came from as he moves for the door.
<Kit> 6Either the shot or the fact his comm came on seems to give him a window, because there's not another shot fired for a moment, but his comm does shut off. Similarly he'd find the door without power.
<Sera> * Jonas pulls something from his vest, sticking it on the door release, he then ducks under cover again and waits a moment, shifting his position again.
<Kit> 6As Jonas moves to take cover, he'd see a grenade-like object land between him and the door, rapidly blinking.
<Sera> * Jonas throws himself away from it towards another cover zone.
<Kit> 6There's a bright flash-- EMP, disabling electronic weapons, his comm, charges since that's likely assumed what's on the door-- the door itself and part of the lighting in the room.
<DeathStar> 6* The attacker is shot dead in the back of the head a moment later
<Sera> * Jonas waits under his cover for something else, pulling out an older model handgun after the EMP charge. "Didn't think I was that damn important."
<Kit> 6The spiderbot doesn't necessarily have a dead, but it dies a dog's death nontheless, relinquishing a mounted .50 calibur rifle of odd design. The insect retreats into the vents.
<DeathStar> * The insect is shot before it reaches it
<Kit> 6Warren receives mail seconds later, non-priority.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holsters only one gun to eye his datapad beeping, looking annoyed
<Sera> * Jonas checks on the shots, seeing the spiderbot go up. "What the fuck was that?"
<Kit> 6Warren's received mail from an offbeat line reserved for non-nationalized militant use, more commonly non-commissioned officers and mercenary organizations. Though the subject line simply states 'Remarkable.'
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts both to Jonas and the message
<Sera> Jonas> "Umm, thanks boss." *he recovers his weapons and eyes the damage to the place* "This kinda stuff happen often?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes him, then shifts to order tracing, then assassinations and bombing runs be done; he's not in a good mood
<Kit> 6The message reads [Attached you'll find a secured routing number and transaction encoded for security purposes, of course, containing a payment and subsidized mark-up for damages encrued. It would be far more flattering to meet in person, although I understand if you shouldn't want to. I realize it's usually more in line with procedure for a unit to request a mercenary, however...--]
<Sera> Jonas> "Right, I'll just be going to the armory then." *he waves and steps out*
<Kit> 6[I have a proposition instead for a task I need finished. No one's been able to complete thus far including myself. However your qualifications are, how should one put it, ...unique. --lucidae lilae]
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves for his office now after reading
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hmmm.... 6* He begins to run traces to locate the person, leaning back thoughtfully
<Kit> 6He traces it back to a local laundromat-- mall game store-- restaurant-- utility plant-- then it seems to end at the base itself.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts his best agents on it for now
Session Close: Mon Apr 12 00:00:00 2010
<Kit> 6Warren receives a new mail. One asking if he likes coffee, if so, black, or maybe espresso. Scones? Pancakes? Crepes?.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, meanwhile, has Cheryl and Jonas outside the sender's actual place, having spent a good deal of resources to stalk him. You may describe the location now
* Chad-Work is now known as Chad`Winters
* Xanatos has joined #Taw-Alternate
<Kogitsune> 6Cheryl and Jonas arrive outside a cafe on a busy corner that seems to pride itself on confectionaries and pastries.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Creepiest hideout ever
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Mmm. If the creep owns this place..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to the door and enters, wearing a normal girl outfit to hide herself - she's wearing a mini skirt and blouse, wiht her hair in a ponytail. She moves to eye her scanner to pick up which person is their hacker
<Seraphna> * Jonas wears civilian clothes as well, jeans and a tank top with a leather jacket over it, his hair too short to really change in style.
<Kit> 6According to her scanner, which occasionally loses signal when the accessor disconnects, seemingly on a mobile device or a datapad, it directs her to a young lady sitting at one of the corner window booths, dressed in something semi-gaudy suggesting a waitress or worker of the establishment itself, sitting over a newspaper, a datapad, a cup of cappucino and a small plate with a few truffles on it.
<Kit> 6She doesn't seem to take note of the two, probably on a break(?) gazing between the datapad and the newspaper, occasionally sweeping tawny brown hair out of her eyes and back behind and ear, the rest of it tied back with a lace ribbon in a braid with a curled end.
Session Start: Wed Apr 14 00:00:00 2010
Session Ident: #Taw-Alternate
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down across from him. "You've managed to annoy Warren, though the irony about coffee wasn't lost on him."
<Seraphna> * Jonas stands neaby Dawn's chair, his arms crossed with a 'it's a bad idea to get up' look on his face.
<Kit> 6Dawn eyes Jonas slowly, not that concerned for whatever reason, then peers at Cheryl. 1"Excuse me?" 6Even the tone of voice doesn't give much away, being right on the like of alto and tenor. 1"I'm not on shift now, can I help you?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No more games, or you will cross a line you don't want. 6* She notes simply and dismissively. "Come on." 6* She doesn't even seem to be having her eyes on him, really
<Kit> <Dawn> Who's this one?" 6A shrug of the shoulder to Jonas. 1"Miss General Cheryl Cran."
* Beya has joined #Taw-Alternate
<Kit> 6Dawn rises a moment, adjusting spectacles that seem to be more with the outfit than useful. 1"Not being on the roster I have, I can only assume he's new."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes a fraction, and it's clear she's pissed now, judging by her fingers curl into her palms.
<Kit> 6Dawn's eyes trail to her fingers, giving a light sigh. 1"Oh-- she hates that name."
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Jonas Williams." *he puts a hand out on Dawn's shoulder and pushes her down into the seat, he's a big guy*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She gets up and taps her comm. "We have him, Warren." 6* There's a pause, and Warren responds. <Warren> Bring him in.
<Kit> <Dawn> I can't say I was ever fond of that slime myself. You have no other name noted, however. It's only pollite to use last names." 6'She' drops to sit, blinking at Jonas. 1"She said come. Are we staying now? You are new."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Jonas now, with a sidelong look and incredulously
<Seraphna> * Jonas backs up a little and lets him up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're not going to try to kill him, are you? 6* She asks simply
<Kit> 6Dawn gets back up, patting off the outfit.
<Kit> <Dawn> No, he hasn't drawn a weapon yet. Though I cannot garauntee his limbs' functions should he touch me again without reason.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't say why she says 'he' despite Dawn looking like a girl.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Got plenty of reasons, just be glad you're a woman."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flicks a finger for Dawn to follow, and Jonas to stand behind Dawn, then moves back for the entrance of the cafe
<Seraphna> * Jonas follows behind Dawn, close and looming. He doesn't look happy.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers at Jonas, smirking and shaking his head. 1"Nothing worse than loose ends."
<Kit> <Dawn> He was the one practicing at the range, wasn't he?
<Seraphna> Jonas> "You are bright."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That remains to be seen
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn waits in a holding cell after getting to the base, cut off from all access to anything computers, while Warren sits at his desk and eyes a monitor of Dawn. Cheryl, back in uniform and glad of it, sits in the mess hall with a drink
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps into the mess and glances around slightly, moving towards Cheryl. 1Boss. Heard you picked up someone. 6He shifts to take a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* A man with a limp and a cane walks in and eyes Dias as if peering into his very soul; his brown hair is a mess and he's a week unshaven.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Some hacker guy that managed to piss off Warren.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares into a kaleidoscope then lowers it, slowly eyeing hte man with a limp. 1"Yo."
<DeathStar> 6* The man stares at him with a squint. "Huh. Guess the good one left." 6* He murmurs, moving to limp off for the medical bay.
<Seraphna> * Jonas takes a seat by Cheryl with some food, looking a bit pleased.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives a slight laugh, running a hand through his brown, tattered hair. 1I thought it was a chick.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Good one? 6He scratches his head then shrugs, putting the kaleidoscope back overh is eye as he moves for the messhall
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. But once I realized Jonas didn't know, I didn't bother to correct it
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Oh so it's a guy. I'll keep note of that."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Scanners can't lie, no matter what's under a dress. 6* She makes a face. "Why would a guy wear a dress? Fucking things are annoying"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Marcus! You gotta check this out. 6He moves upto him and hands him the kaleidoscope. He then nods to Cheryl. 1"So ya got the guy huh?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Always check the adam's apple man. 6He tells Jonas, then glances to Cheryl with an amused look before taking a peek on up to Dias. 1Check what?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, Warren made me trace it after a lot of his resources failed. 6* She sounds annoyed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions him to look into the kaleidscope. 1"So is this the part we get to play good cop bad cop and beat him up a bit?
<Kit> 6After a while of boredom, Dawn starts to walk the other three walls, tapping along the walls.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sounds like he's good. 6He takes the scope and goes to put it up to hsi eye but pauses and checks for ink around the edges to make sure Dias isn't trying to get him.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Asshole tries to show off to us by trying to kill me. Not to mention damaging the base."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias well the rim is black like the rubber
<Xanatos>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think Jonas atleast get's one swing at the guy.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus runs a finger along it just to check.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's where he played it wrong, honestly. Attacking the base. It's attacking Warren's pride.
<Chad`Winters> 6His finger turns black. Dias stomps his foot. 1"Damn't."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren finally steps into the room, peering at Dawn silently, before tapping a finger for Dawn to sit; he moves and takes the other seat
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus smirks and holds it back out. 1That was a good one though. 6He nods to Dias.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers over from his activity, blinking, then smiles, moving to sit, bringing up both legs to sit crosslegged. 1"Mister Carmichael."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grins and takes it, holding it towards Jonas. 1"Well, Warren won't take it easy on him, not when it comes to what he did."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws back another drink, as if trying to forget something. She also gives Jonas sidelong glances, warning him about somerthing silently, something he better not talk about
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Whatever happened to the usual route, go to a recruiting office, sign up, do basic training."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We didn't do that. 6He motions to himself and Dias.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Allighieri.
<Seraphna> * Jonas glances at Cheryl and nods ever so slightly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We also didn't attack a base. They wanted us because we're naturally that awesome. 6He holds his hand up for a high five
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus obliges with the high five, though he peers between Jonas and Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You were wanted to make sure you didn't do more damage to the city than you already had
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Marcus then the two then leans towars him slightly. 1"What am I missing?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> HEY! That building had a poor foundation and it was ready to fall anyways.
<Seraphna> * Jonas rolls his eyes a little.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Technically we saved a lot of folks in our big brawls.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ya gotta look at the big picture.
<Kit> <Dawn> You pronounce it right!" 6He seems surprised. 1"Frank, then. I want to find Fiore."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers at his datapad, but only briefly, probably already having memorized the information there. "We're a military unit made to deal with threats from an ancient race, not to find missing relatives."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And your big brawls put a lot of those folks in danger to begin with.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias winces slightly, he then leans into Marcus and starts whispering
<Kit> <Dawn> Anything but a high specialized unit won't do. For instance, did you know I had a sibling?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well. 6He responds, rubbing the back of his neck slightly, listening to Dias.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm still gathering information on you. 6* He says, his expression neutral without giving away how much data he has yet or not.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her watch. "It's almost time for Aya's ear operation." 6* She eyes the counter, as if debating something in her head now - like she might not actually go.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So how d'you like our new friend here? 6He pats Jonas' shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias perks up to look at Cheryl. 1"That's today?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Whoa, ear operation? 6He arches a brow.
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks over at Marcus, then glances to Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah when our base was attacked before she lost her hearing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. 6* She peers over as the limping, scruffy man moves into the messhall and gets some tea, then uses it to pop pain pills on his way out. "That new doctor bugs me."
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Rough, that kid's young."

<Chad`Winters> <Dias> When he looked at me before, it was like he was peering into my soul. Then said something about guessing the good one left."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I didn't know there was surgery needed though. 6He hmms and glances towards the new doctor.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Didn't know you had a good 'one'.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> My point exactly. 6He points then looks at Marcus. 1"You'd have to ask Chad the specifics.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe he's talking about me. I'm quite good at...well everything.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Not winning the belt you aren't. 6He motions around his waist
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor passes without even looking at Marcus
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Guess not. 6He glances to Dias and squints at that, making a slight face to signify Dias is talking about something they're competing over.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the two. "Belt?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You really don't want to know.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly lowers his hands. 1"It's nothing." 6He waves his hand dismissively
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Some mysteries are best left unsolved."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Dawn's silence
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... Fine. I just won't talk to either of you until you tell me. 6* She shrugs, then eyes the watch again
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks and peers towards Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks then grabs Marcus and pulls him down for a "conference call"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is pulled down, a hand grabbing for the table but missing.
<Seraphna> * Jonas raises a brow, he glances at Cheryl. "That's a mighty weapon you have."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts whispering to Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Zephyr said something about saying that if I thought I needed information from a guy."
<Seraphna> Jonas> "It works."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus whispers something back quickly and rises back up, giving Cheryl a smile. 1Okay. You sure you want to know.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pops up quickly and looks at Cheryl with the same smile.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 100% sure?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell me before I get annoyed
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Okay. So Dias and I have this bet. The winner of the bet gets a belt. Like those wrestling men wear.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And the bet ... ?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods. 1"It makes the bet that much more competitive.
<Seraphna> * Jonas eyes the two.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well it's a numbers game, two numbers to be specific.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She looks at Jonas flatly to see if he's getting this.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias holds up his fingers to point out the numbers part
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks back and shrugs. Looking perplexed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Everytime we make a bet, we put the belt on the line. Currently I hold said belt.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> One time it was who could eat the most Mongolian BBQ.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> 2 shots, 2 beer chasers, 2 rocket fuels, 2 margaritas and 2 more shots. Doing that without passing out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then looks back. "Mmmmhm. Is this some sort of thing where you two bang a dumb girl at the same time type bet?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly looks at Marcus then down at his crotch and quickly takes a step back.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Neither of us would win the belt for that. 6He shudders
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'd rather eat dirt.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "I get the feeling they've already done that one."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Same.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-I don't think so.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No men walk away from a devil's threeway and remain friends.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> None.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. So it's two girls with one of you, then? It's either one, or the other.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rises after Dawn says nothing, then moves to go
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I already went over it. It's series of 2 in a drinking game. Come'on Cheryl, keep up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, yeah, sure. I'm not buying it. In fact, I'm pretty sure I already know where Dias got the idea for the belt. He's far from original
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps a datapad and slides over information on an old show to Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Then gets to her feet and walks out of the room
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You knew John that well?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Dude...
<Seraphna> * Jonas finishes his meal, looking between the two.
* Chii has joined #Taw-Alternate
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Who would've thought she'd watch old old tv.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey I wonder if she would compete. I'll go ask. 6He smacks Dias in the crotch and jumps up to run out, taking the datapad with him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hurks and falls to the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks her tongue as she moves down the hallway, having one of her unapproachable looks as she moves for the garage
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> B-Bastard...
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey. 6He calls out as he runs up. 1Going to go check up on Aya? 6He holds out the datapad.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. 6* She takes it silently.
<Seraphna> * Jonas gets up and heads out, moving down the hallway himself now.
* Kit has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Let me know how it goes. I hope she pulls through okay. 6He says with a serious nod.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods back, then pauses, clicking her tongue, then moves on into it.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' datapad beeps.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans a bit as he grabs his datapad and peers at it upside down.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus watches her go, pulling his arms behind his back to turn and and move back.
<Seraphna> * Jonas passes Marcus and moves onto the garage after Cheryl.
* Beya has left #Taw-Alternate
* DimJim has joined #Taw-Alternate
<DeathStar> 6* It's a message from a girl accepting a date with him in 30 minutes at a bar. Her picture is of a hot chick that he wouldn't remember, but talks as if they had some date planned
* DimJim was kicked by DeathStar (DimJim)
* DeathStar sets mode: +b *!*@cpe-24-242-36-94.hot.res.rr.com
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly stands up. 1"Hot damn she's smoking."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Jonas slowly
<Seraphna> * Jonas pauses, looking back at her. "Want company?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I doubt Chad wants others there. 6* She seems to consider. "Fine. Come."
<Chii> <Dawn> Thought as much.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias points his datapad at Marcus as he steps in. 1"Check this out pal. Already got a date in 30. Nailed it."
<Seraphna> * Jonas smirks and nods, moving over to her.
<Chii> 6Dawn sets his feet on the floor, leaning forward. 1"I do have a sister. I'm not insane-- let me show you something else the file doesn't say if you don't mind?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus peers towards it and squints. 1Did it ask for your bank account information?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, but doesn't move to stop him
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nope. I'm just assuming it happened during one of my drunken nights at the bar. But look at her. I mean that's atleast an 8 on the hot scale
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets into a car and begins to drive off with Jonas
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You realize our scale goes to 15 right?
<Seraphna> * Jonas rushes over to get in. "H-Hey now!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Crap I forgot that rule.
* DeathStar sets mode: +o Chii
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But you're right. She's cute.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's what I thought.
* Chii sets mode: +b *!Mibbit*@*
<Seraphna> * Jonas sits back in his seat. "Figured you'd want to get away from the Bromancers."
<Chii> 6Dawn holds out his hands, showing nothing like a magician, then cups his hands as if holding a datapad-- bringing Warren's to himself.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Do you even know where you're supposed to meet?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is still silent, watching
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses then peers the message over
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Dias and Marcus."
<DeathStar> 6* Yes, the bar has an address
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. 6* She shrugs, as if they weren't on her mind
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh hey it does. 6He points
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> At least I've finally categorized Marcus
<Chii> 6Dawn just starts to browse the datapad.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Oh? What heading did he get?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well at least you won't get lost.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nope....wait. Maybe. You should drive me.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "...Should he feel honored that he's a category rather then just a name?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a noise, pulling up at the hospital and getting out
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh come'on you know theres that GPS stuff in the cars. You won't get lost man.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But Cheryl says I'm not allowed to drive drunk anymore.
<Seraphna> * Jonas gets out as well, looking about.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Are you drunk right now?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sniffs his breath then shakes his head
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Just call me when you're ready to come back. I'll get you a cab.
<DeathStar> 6* Stretching, Cheryl moves for the hospital and stops at the receptionist deck, getting directions, then moves to head for the elevator. "She should already be in surgery and getting out soon."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sounds good. I'm gonna get sexy. 6He smiles at Marcus and moves off to get prepared
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives him a half assed salute and plops down, giving a stretch and a yawn.
<Seraphna> * Jonas nods, walking along with her. "I'm a little surprised this is getting done in a civilian hospital, doesn't the military have better facilities?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chad's not military.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren silently watches Dawn with his unblinking gaze.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Oh right." *he doesn't question that anymore*
<DeathStar> 6* Getting into the elevator, Cheryl crosses her arms, waiting as it goes up
<Seraphna> * Jonas leans against the elevator wall, looking up.
<Chii> 6Dawn sighs, not finding anything, and levitates the datapad back to Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets out and moves toward the waiting area.
* Chad`Winters can be seen sitting in one of the chairs, everything in the waiting area having been straightened out to some form or another.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down across from him
<Chad`Winters> You made it. Thanks, Cheryl.
<Seraphna> * Jonas steps up with Cheryl, then takes a seat next to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps up with some coffee and candy, sitting down and offering Chad the coffee. Cheryl nods back
* Chad`Winters glances at Jonas then at Cheryl. 1"Bodyguard?" 6He nods to Zephyr, but doesn't touch the coffee since he's a tea guy.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Hmph. I asked if they had anything else and that was it. 6* She puffs her cheeks.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Date. 6* She says, straightfaced
* Chad`Winters takes the coffee and goes to drink it then pauses, sizing Jonas up like an overprotective and very dangerous brother would do
<Seraphna> * Jonas keeps a straight face as well. He crosses her arms and looks Chad over.
<Chii> 6Dawn peers at Warren, then stands, moving toward the exit.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You've yet to tell me why I should help you. 6* He notes simply
<Chii> <Dawn> You never asked, either.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just stares silently.
<Chii> 6Dawn turns, peering at him. 1"I usually assume no one cares, unless they say otherwise.
<Chii> <Dawn> No one but a unit like this could find Fiore. I think I said.
<Chii> <Dawn> Fiore doesn't exist-- I don't exist. Where we're from-- doesn't exist.
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl, possibly not threatened by Jonas at all. 1"I suppose we all have to scrape the bottom once in awhile."
<DeathStar> <Warren> We don't do missing person cases. Until I hear the story and see what I should be involved, then you'll get nothing more from me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses at that, then slowly gives Chad a look
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl raises a brow a bit, but doesn't comment.
<Chad`Winters> I haven't scraped yet. 6He notes
<Seraphna> * Jonas, for Chad's observation, is a clean cut looking guy wearing a military uniform, very well built, his movements and physique scream the term "ground pounder".
<Chii> <Dawn> Fiore's not a missing person... Fiore's a threat. The experiments done on my hometown-- well. I'm a better case. Fiore... lost it. But that doesn't mean weaker than me. It just means insane. But-- some of the most intelligent people are insane. You should know that much.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<DeathStar> 6* The date time begins to pass by.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of his room all cleaned and dressed sharply. He dashes for the garage and hops in a car and takes off for the bar
<Chii> <Dawn> Much, much stronger than me. Manifested different. I can move things. Fiore can destroy things. Crush. I can read the future slightly-- feel emotions and thoughts of those close to me. She can implant suggestions, rip you out of your own head.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at the time. "They said they'd be done by now." 6* She notes.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see.
<Seraphna> Jonas> *looks over, tilting his head at the clock* "Maybe they're being extra careful?"
<Chii> <Dawn> She's not dead like records beneath the falsified ones would say. I'm not dead.
<DeathStar> <Warren> My unit doesn't do investigations well. You'd do better with Darien Starr. 6* He notes, and his tone doesn't indicating he's trying to get rid of Dawn
<Chii> 6Dawn rubs his head. 1"I haven't tried very hard to find her."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Why?
* Chad`Winters peers at the time then fidgets slightly. He gets up and moves to the surgery door
<Chii> <Dawn> What could I do when I do?
<DeathStar> 6* Dias would find a shoddy bar that looks rather empty of people, except burly bikers
<Chii> 6Dawn looks troubled for once. 1"I'm afraid of what she might have been doing for seven years. She might hate the people that did it. She might hate everyone."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the shabby bar with an odd face and shrugs and moves for the entrance
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. I'll let Darien know about this, so he can begin his investigations. You will remain on the base, however, under supervision - you attacked my base, and right now I'm not letting you out of my sight, or near my computers without someone to supervise you. Someone with a pay grade higher than idiot.
* Chad`Winters moves upto the surgery room and tries to peer in
<Chii> <Dawn> I've been learning skills to make a living and prepare, but it'll never be enough. I'm nothing more than a pale shadow next to her. I need help and there's no one else worth asking, mister Carmichael. You're known to plan around and escape the inescapapeable. Some of that might be indebted to miss General Cheryl--" 6He refrains, looking caught.
<DeathStar> 6* Due to how hospitals are, he'd see nothing of real importance in the room beyond. The button to open the door is to the side, but it says "Employees Only'
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and he peers around for a nurse
<Chii> <Dawn> Yes, Darien Starr as well. I'm curious-- why haven't you kept the aliens close..?
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks at Cheryl. "He always this nervous?"
<Chad`Winters> Dias pushes the door open and moves inside the bar, peering around for the uber hot girl
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes the door open and moves inside the bar, peering around for the uber hot girl
<DeathStar> 6* A girl with long purple hair is at the table - she looks like the girl, except the hair color. She already has a drink waiting on him it seems at her table
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tilts his head and moves over to the girl. 1"Excuse me."
<DeathStar> 6* There doesn't appear to be a nurse on duty at the station on the other side.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl peers up, studying him. "Hello!" 6* She smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes. The drink seems to be his favorite, too.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet slowly, shifting to step up behind Chad
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You must be my date? You changed your hair color.
<Chad`Winters> I don't see anyone around...6He frowns then grabs Cheryls hand and hits the button to open the door
<DeathStar> <Girl> Don't you like purple?
<Chii> <Dawn> The um... what do they call them..? Progenitors? The Progenitor Erevis-- and the origin of the dragoons themselves, Ariel.
<Seraphna> * Jonas gets up, frowning and moving after the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps eying Dawn silently
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances down, then back up as the door opens. Zephyr hurries up behind them.
<Chad`Winters> Thanks. 6He nods to Cheryl and peers inside.
<Chii> <Dawn> I honestly wanted to reach to all of you, but to contact them would say I have no confidence in your ability and think that you would require them, no?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think it suits you well. 6He sits down and points at the drink. 1"For me?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> <Girl> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in and steps through another set of doors, eyeing bodies on the ground; all unconscious. The surgeon team
* Chad`Winters steps in, his eyes going wide then at the table. 1"What the hell?!"
<Seraphna> * Jonas takes a look around, frowning. "Should I call this in?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks, moving to run around and shout Aya's name, while Cheryl kneels, and eyes the people; tiny holes on their necks
<DeathStar> <Warren> I have no comments.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> Fuck fuck fuck. 6His right fist clenches tightly as his eyes dart around for cameras.
<Chii> <Dawn> Yes, that was commonly said in reports that you were a man of little to no words.
<Seraphna> * Jonas grabs his comms and calls in an attack and possible kidnapping, giving Aya's name.
<DeathStar> 6* They're there, but Cheryl shakes her head. <Cheryl> That would have dealt with those if they're were this quiet and thorough
<Chii> <Dawn> I don't like to speak very much myself, believe it or not. But it wouldn't suit me any good to sit silently when asking for favors.
<Chad`Winters> I know...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Indeed. I have no comments about any aspect of this unit, but as I said, I will look into matters. 6* He pages Marcus to take Dawn to his room, but pauses at his datapad message from Jonas
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hops up and moves for the cell.
<Chii> <Dawn> That's all I can ask. In return, I'll offer you my skills in your own matters.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr runs up, panting. "There's no sign of anyone that's not unconscious."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl sips her own drink, eyeing Dias
* Chad`Winters shifts to lean agains the table, his face pale.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Pretty skilled job, take down all these people and leave without anyone noticing."
<Chii> 6Dawn gestures. 1"Not asking for pay or commission. Don't need it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> When you mentioned this in the park, was anyone around to hear you? Did you leak any information anywhere else? Tell anyone that might have told anyone else?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You even knew remember what I like. You're a sweetheart for sure. 6He takes a drink from it
<DeathStar> 6* The girl smiles chillingly.
* Chad`Winters closes his eyes to think then stiffens up. 1"There was a detective."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A detective?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps into the holding area.
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks between the two.
* Chad`Winters rubs his face as he tells her about the cop that talked to him
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps past Marcus. "Aya Winters was kidnapped. Come on."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You get a name?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be trying to recall if she saw him, using her memory
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus widens his eyes. 1Want me to call Dias too? 6He turns to move after him.
<Chii> <Dawn> ..." 6He tilts his head, then hops up after the two.
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... 6* He grunts, committing neither way
<Chad`Winters> He gave me a card...6He pauses and pats himself down, then shifts out a wallet and pulls it out and looks at it
<Chii> 6Dawn peers at the two, then holds out a hand, pulling Warren's datapad toward him again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Smooth as can be. So tell me, why a bar like this? A girl like you I'd expect something more..higher society like
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sends Dias a text to let him know the dealio. Though he does pause now and glances. 1What do we do with him?
<DeathStar> <Girl> Oh, it suits my needs. 6* She waits to see if Dias drinks more
<Chii> 6Dawn flutters the eyelashes at Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his datapad, then Dawn, looking annoyed.
<Seraphna> * Detective Frank Brotell, the contact info seems to be very standard for a police detective.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances from Warren to Dawn.
* Chad`Winters pulls out his datapad and birng sup the detectives name
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do that without asking again, we won't be talking anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks her tongue, when Zephyr speaks
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses as his phone goes off and he eyes it, his eyes going wide. 1"Shit. I'm so sorry about this but something very important came up."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I've...been having this weird feeling the last hour
<Chii> 6Dawn pouts. 1"Can't check records or local security for cameras and access to the networks without one."
* Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr. 1"What do you mean?
<DeathStar> 6* The girl narrows her eyes. "Well, how about a kiss goodbye, then."
<DeathStar> <Warren> He'll come with us for now; I won't leave him on the base alone
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Of course. 6He leans into give her a kiss
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't know. I can't really remember. Just...this feeling. Like I was suppose to not pay attention to something...
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Understood. 6He motions for Dawn to move along after Warren so he can take up the rear.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl leans in to plant his lips on Dias', and if allowed, use her tongue to slip into his mouth
<Seraphna> * Jonas raises a brow. "Strange feeling to have."
<Chii> <Dawn> A girl might be offended you're always trying to follow her from behind.
<Chad`Winters> I...6He pauses since he doesn't know what to say to that, he looks at his datapad trying to bring up whatever he can, even if it means hacking
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Zephyr, then closes her eyes
<Chii> 6Dawn leans forward slightly. 1"Chad Winters' daughter. I'm sure there's plenty of motiv in that one-- but any recent ones?"
<Seraphna> * He comes up with legitimate information on a detective at a local precinct, everything actually appears in order.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets into his van and lets Marcus drive. "We'll see."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves around and gets in the drivers seat, starting the van. Waiting for Dawn to get in before he pulls out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lets her, and kisses her back the same way
<DeathStar> 6* The girl leans back, smirking; Dias would begin to feel dizzy. Like he were drunk.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias breaks it off, pausing. 1"I don't...I should call Marcus." 6He pulls his phone out to dial Marcus. 1"He said he'd give me a ride..."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl reaches out to put a hand on it. "Why call anyone? Lets go back to my place and... do some more." 6* She tries to lead him out of the booth
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. 6* She moves off
<Seraphna> * Jonas follows her, looking back a moment as he does.
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl and moves after her.
<Chii> 6Dawn climbs in, brushing hair back behind an ear. 1"Anyone else meeting us, or is Marcus Jones here all you can rely on?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves until she finds another reception area, then begins to ask questions about transportation, and how peopel can get out, and a layout of everything
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves them towards the hospital. 1I'm all he needs.
<Chii> 6Dawn chuckles.
<Seraphna> * Jonas just stands nearby as muscle, watching the General work.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows along, reaching out for Megumi to let her know what happened
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shakes his head and moves out of the booth.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But Aya's been....
<Chii> <Dawn> Well. If you need a hand, do tell. I'm a better shot than your... 'sniper,' using a proxy spiderbot and a joystick... though I make do unarmed as well." 6There's a giggle.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl leads him out the back door. Each step, his body begins to feel more leadish. "I'll show my breasts."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers at Marcus as Dawn boasts, with a flat look
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts to lean on her more. 1"Sorry...Aya's more import..."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances in the rearview mirror at Dawn theng lances to Warren slightly, giving a slight shrug.
* Chad`Winters right fingers keep fidgeting as he listens.
<DeathStar> 6* The girll mmmmhmmms; once out back, she lifts him up like a baby, scratching his face, and tosses him into the dumpster out back. She slams the lid down. "Good as dead." 6* She begins to walk off.
<Chii> 6Dawn seems to be taking a nap, since he can't do anything else he normally might.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl learns about shuttles, and vans that could come and go. She has Zephyr check the roof, then moves to the elevator to check employee exits
<Chad`Winters> Is there any underground ways out?
<DeathStar> 6* Once at the hospital, Warren steps out of the van, peering around slightly. "We could use a telepath." 6* He notes, clearly not referring to Dawn in the back
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. Just the ground level and the roof. Unless they drilled into the sewers unnnoticed.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out and peers up a bit. 1What about Erevis?
<Chii> 6Dawn hops out after a moment. 1"Katrina McCormick?"
<Chad`Winters> If I wanted out quietly, that's how I'd do it.
<Seraphna> "Likely they walked out the front door without anyone noticing. The job was so quiet."
<DeathStar> <Warren> McCormick is gone.
<Seraphna> Jonas>
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers at Marcus, then sends Darien a message.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the garbage
<Chii> <Dawn> Ah, that's true. It's just... she's more elegant about it, I would say.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' hand would still have some stubborn energy left to finish dialing Marcus, despite the fact the woman seems sure he should be dead; he would begin to feel feverish
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias keeps dialing and hits send to Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, moving to circle the hospital, examining it; as Cheryl exits the elevator and moves to the van bay, she'd spot Warren, who's showing his ID to some guards. She walks over
<Chii> <Dawn> Is she really... harboring a demon? I mean it's hard to believe those kind of things exist-- even me.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves along with Warren, pausing he pulls up his phone and answers it. 1Hello?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anyone leave in the last hour? 6* She taps her own uniform. Then eyes Dawn and Warren like he's gone mad.
<Seraphna> * Jonas follows Cheryl, rubbing the back of his head a little.
<Chii> 6Dawn waves cheerfully to Cheryl, curtseying.
<DeathStar> <Guard> Mmmm, yeah, we had two ambulances leave on an emergency, and two doctors got off duty and left in their vehicles.
* Chad`Winters glances at Dawn then Warren, then the guard.
<Seraphna> * Jonas eyes Dawn carefully.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Damnt."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems to be making mental note of all that Dawn knows, and each note seems to seal his fate more
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tries to make whatever noise he can
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the comm. "Hey, that's Dias - he sounds sick. He made that noise the first time Cheryl got him drunk."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Zephyr, wondering how she could tell what the hell unggeregeghah is
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus arches a brow and pulls the comm back some. 1He couldn't be drunk already, he's only been gone like 20 minutes.
<Chii> <Dawn> Dias." 6He muses. 1"Twenty minutes to what?"
<Seraphna> Jonas> "With some of the stuff I've seen him drink?"
<Chad`Winters> Can you give us descriptions?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll look into the two doctors who left; Warren can check the ambulance routes.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I know what he can handle.
<Chii> <Dawn> Where did he go, twenty minutes ago?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs the guard checkout info, then begins to do searches; Warren takes the ambulance routes. Both came back after being gone 45 minutes
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A date. He had a date...hot young thing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dias, are you okay? Dias? 6* She calls into the comm.
<Chii> 6Dawn smiles a bit. 1"A date..? At such a convenient time... Pity. With whom?"
<Chad`Winters> <DiasPhone> gruglagule
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Like I know.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're...in garbage?
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Sounds like a charming lady."
<Chad`Winters> <DiasComm> GRAGGLGE
<Chii> <Dawn> Sounds like a security problem.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly eyes Zephyr.
<Seraphna> * Jonas stares at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... H-He says he thinks he's dying.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "How..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *I* taught him how to talk!
<Chii> <Dawn> You love him, don't you, Zephyr?
* Chad`Winters moves over to Warren to look at the ambulance routes
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Dawn, blinking at that, then turns fire engine red
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> L-Like a brother
<Chii> <Dawn> Ah, in any form. That feelings the best.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You. Annoying guy. Hack into his datapad and find the address.
<Seraphna> * Jonas eyes Dawn. "Try not to speak unless it's useful."
<Chii> <Dawn> You should take your own advice.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reads the info as they arrived at accidents. Cheryl speaks up. <Cherly> One of the doctors is one of the unconscious ones above.
<Chii> 6Dawn peers at Marcus, then eyes Warren
<Seraphna> * Jonas cracks his knuckles.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Just do it. We don't have time if he's in trouble.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Cheryl, clicking his tongue. 1"this is my fault."
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Walked out through the front door. Called it."
<Chad`Winters> <DiasComm> Ggrrrrrrrr
<Chii> <Dawn> Warren Carmichael continuing to speak with me is of more concern to me than that degenerate in the garbage... but I'll gladly do so with permission.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "Someone was waiting for the right moment to strike; Darien's mansion is too hard to break in without getting a half dozen specialists mad, so they took this chance. But you couldn't keep her locked up forever, either."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Do it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Dawn fiercely and a no-nonsense look
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll deal with Warren
<Chii> 6Dawn eyes Zephyr, making a face at least a second before he receives the look.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Who'd take a baby though? Ransom?"
<Chii> <Dawn> Fine. Hand it over."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He just said... T-That MArcus was his... BFF...and to remember the belt is his.... I-I think he's really dying
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hands Dawn one of her datapads
* Chad`Winters clenches his right fist again. 1"Whoever took her won't see to live the next day when I find them."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus clenches his fist, looking antsy now.
* Chad`Winters slowly eyes Jonas, not a good look.
<Chii> <Dawn> Phone please." 6He sits, typing with one hand, the other outstretched to Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whoever did it made Zephyr's mind unsettled.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ... 6He holds it out quickly.
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl now. 1"Wait till I get my hands on them."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I still wonder about something. 6* She notes.
<Chad`Winters> What?
<Chii> 6Dawn networks them briefly to get the phone's unique idea and trace its joined destination route, then begins triangulating for an exact location, recording whatever may come over the phone just in case it winds up being useful, but also to get an idea of what kind of garbage container he might be in from the sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Her voice has dropped so Zeph can't hear
<Seraphna> * Jonas glances at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> WE all found Ariel dead with a sword in her gut - her own sword - and a note saying she failed as a mother. IT just...seemed too..perfect to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren runs searches on the doctor's vehicle
<Chad`Winters> Nobody ever gave me the details to her death.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The offical story, for Zeph's sake, was that she was killed in battle.
<DeathStar> 6* DAwn would come up with the bar's location after a moment
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm having city cameras try to find the vehicle now. Ifwe get a hit, it'll ping.
<Seraphna> * Jonas raises a brow.
* Chad`Winters presses his thumb against his forehead as he forces himself to focus. 1"It does seem to...set up
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There was no evidence of foul play, and it seemed as if she really did it; now I wonder if it's something Dragoon related adn something made her do it, after what Zeph said. Maybe a psionic
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How long does this take?
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Any telepaths have a vendetta against you all?"
* Chad`Winters slowly looks up at Cheryl. 1"There's only two types that could make her do something againts her will. A psionic like you mentioned."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Only reason I'm making this jump is because Aya's your kid
<Chii> <Dawn> Done already." 6He reads off the location. 1"But I'm sending one of my lackies there, since its faster than bringing transportation to us and making the trip."
<Chad`Winters> Or a dragoon made to deal with her.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus motions to Zephyr. 1Someone tell Warren where I'm going. 6He runs to jump in the van and pull out.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You'll need Caduceus. 6* He says to Marcus before he takes a step
<Chii> <Dawn> Ca... duceus...
<DeathStar> <Warren> He's a healer; comm the base and get the doctor to meet you. In case Dias is dying. 6* He seems to have heard everything
* Chad`Winters has a very dark look on his face. 1"The Omega."
<Chii> 6Dawn frowns slightly, as if the name triggers a thought.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses. 1The doctor? Right. 6He nods to Warren and gets in the van, comming the base to get Cad as he speeds off.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over to Chad and Cheryl. "What can I do? I think Erevis on her way to help."
<Seraphna> * Jonas crosses his arms. "Like in the Dragoon War?"
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus answers.
<Chii> 6Dawn gets up, moving over to Zephyr, handing her datapad to distract her from the other three talking.
<Seraphna> * Jonas pauses and cuts himself off when Zephyr gets close.
<Chad`Winters> It fits, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses as she takes it, peering at Dawn
<Chii> <Dawn> The progenitor Erevis is coming?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um - I think so.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Caduceus. Meet me at this location. Dias seems to be in trouble and might be poisoned from the way he was talking.
<Xanatos> * Marcus gives him the locations.
<Chii> <Dawn> Interesting." 6He smiles. 1"Marcus Jones is en route to your Dias. I've sent something ahead, but all it will be able to do is give him nanites until ...Caduceus.. arrives."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods to Chad, quietly glancing at Warren
<Chii> <Dawn> A healer, as Warren put it.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren and moves to him, whispering quietly to him
<DeathStar> <Warren> She has been off the grid since I dismissed her. But I can't see her doing this alone. 6* He notes.
<Chad`Winters> Definetly not alone.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't see the Dark Ones being interested, so it must be some new player
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh
<DeathStar> 6* MArcus around arrive at the bar
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus throws the van into park and jumps out, peering around quickly, looking for a dumpster, he begins to move around the building, since they're usually out of sight.
<Seraphna> * Jonas just listens quietly, not quite getting it, he leans over to Cheryl. "Omega? From the Dragoon War? I heard there was no more Omega."
<Chad`Winters> Doesn't matter how many there are.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe, maybe not. We'll find out when we find Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* He'd see the dumpster alright.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances around for anything suspicius as he approaches it.
<Chad`Winters> Even if I have to start at the bottom, I'll work my way up through each one of them, Warren.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Ah, so that is who we're talking about... isn't she a relative of yours?" *he speaks softly*
<DeathStar> 6* Another van pulls up with people inside; Darien gets out, as does Erevis. She walks over and Warren instructs her to gleam thoughts from staff to see if there's any clues. She bows once, then moves to do so
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps out and moves up with Darien and Erevis, giving Warren a nod before moving to keep Erevis company.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Oh good, so if she turns out to be the one, no hard feelings if I shoot her?"
<Chii> <Dawn> Cheryl only has two known relatives.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over, hands in his pockets, then peers at Chad. "I have one theory."
<Chad`Winters> And what's that?
<Chii> 6Dawn glances over, murmuring. 1"Chad and Aya Winters..." 6He blinks at Darien. 1"Hmm.."
<DeathStar> <Darien> The last few months, on the HoloNet, things posted by "VI" have been cropping up. It's not like it's not common, so I just kept a mild glance, but lately they've been showing up more in bigger social powers since the Scar incident. Now this. It may be "VI" really is remnants of the old V.I.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus would see nothing; though another van is pulling up with his base logo
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves to open the dumpster and peer in.
<Chad`Winters> I thought we took care of them.
<DeathStar> 6* He'd see a dying Dias, who looks feverish and ill; his cheek wounds oozing puss
<DeathStar> <Darien> We might have; could be someone else took up their ideas. You can kill a man, but not his ideas.
<Chii> 6A spiderbot scurries away from Dias, unsuccessful.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks to grab him and pull him out. 1Hold on Dias. Help is here.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Some things just never die."
<DeathStar> <Darien> But it would also mean Erevis might be a target, since they were into getting Progenitor power.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Jonas slowly
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"I want a copy of everything you know about it.
<Seraphna> * Jonas shifts a bit to stand up straight, recognizing Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods ,sizing up Jonas.
<Chii> <Dawn> V.I. What other kinds of things were they interested in?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... and is it safe to speak in front of this one? 6* He eyes Dawn
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus begins to carry Dias towards the base van that pulled up.
<Chii> <Dawn> I think at this point it's safe. He'll either accept my proposal or shoot me so it hardly matters.
<Chad`Winters> He already talks like he knows everything. 6He moves over to a car and rests against it, his hands cupped together on the roof
<DeathStar> <Darien> They were part of Venerator's "Six". To use the power of Wind and topple Cran's Janus. But their ties to Janus ran so thick, it could be they adopted a lot of the black projects from it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Since Janus isn't what it was, either
<Chii> <Dawn> Any of this involve human psionic latency?
<DeathStar> <Darien> It may; the projects ran from Weapons to Dragoons to trying to use Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus gets out with a kit ,eyeing Dias
<Chii> 6Dawn frowns, putting a hand to his mouth and peering to the side.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> It's a wonder he's alive. I can already tell he's toxic with over a dozen viruses
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A dozen?! Can you help me?
<Seraphna> Jonas> "So this group we're after might be employing... for lack of an easier term, super soldiers?"
<Xanatos> NRP: him*
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, it wouldn't surprise me if they had ties into psionics. I already suspect projects were made to increase their power.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> We'll see. 6* He moves over to touch Dias. "Several STDs. Wonder if this is from the attacker, or just him."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Might be a bit of both.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The only reason I could see them wanting Aya is if they did take some of Janus' projects. Considering his parents.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the ground silently, her hands clenched
<Chii> <Dawn> How far back does this go? How many years?
<DeathStar> <Darien> You might want to keep an eye on Ben, too, Warren. You're nothing special, but his mother...
* Chad`Winters pulls his hand back and punches through the cars window.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just shrugs at Dawn; Warren eyes Chad neutrally, while Zephyr jerks at that
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> C-Chad..
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks curious for a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus closes his eyes, his hands glowing as he touches Dias; moments pass, and Dias begins to look better and better, and Cad worse and worse. Ater a bit, he lets go, and pops painpill; Dias would wake up
* Chad`Winters slowly pulls his hand out and he moves back to the others, some blood drips from his knuckles. 1"I'll get you everything I have from Cran's old files and everything I've dredged up on Janus and the Weapons projects."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns, peering at Chad's hand, then rips some of her kimono and begins to pick out glass, and wrap up his hand
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ... what the... hell? 6He stares in amazement.
<Chii> <Dawn> Eight years ago a city in italy called Roma was wiped from records. I found remants of some old databanks nearly scrubbed completely detailing logs of experiments in human genome and amplifying existing latent psionics. It was 'successful' in one percent.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Another 5 minutes and he would be dead.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps up after her, rubbing his neck slightly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias coughs and groans a bit. 1"That was one kind of kiss."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wow. That was amazing.
<Chii> <Dawn> The other ninety-nine percentile tore themselves to shreds and rampaged through Roma attacking one another while claiming them monsters.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Sounds like we have a lot of homework to do..." *he watches Chad getting bandaged up*
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> I think the STDs were old; if you slept with the same women as he did, you'll likely die in 5 years from one of them
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> I'm too weak to heal you of the same STDs
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus limps off now on Marcus
* Chad`Winters hand begins to move then pauses as if something crossed his mind. He lets her bandage his hand
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I checked everyone I could; only one person's mind seemed to have any information
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> S...What happened to me?
<Chad`Winters> What was it? 6He looks at Erevis
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stares then glances down to Dias, helping him stands. He then sends a message to Warren to let him know everything is good and asking what he needs them to do. 1You tell me.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus looks back. "I would say Virulent tried to kil you."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I met the girl....Virulent? 6He looks at Cad. 1"Who's that?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Show him the picture. 6He urges Dias.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A young woman called to see when her "daughter's" ear surgery would be.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You know any young women?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And why? I never did anything to her...Or did I? 6He looks at Marcus and garbs his datapad, holding it out to Cad
<Chii> <Dawn> I only ask because four percent of the whole had their latents enhanced successfully despite unsuccessful experimentation. One of the three percentile of the enhanced failure was my sibling Fiore. I want to find her. This V.I. might be a lead...
<Chad`Winters> No. But we're sure it's Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes it. "Purple hair and this would be her. Weapon Virulent."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Huh, i'm not even going to pretend to be shocked.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ..Wait you mean like...6He points at himself. 1"Weapon?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The information she gave was correct enough to get the time.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You mean there's more weapons than this guy and Chad?
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Yes. Only with boobs.
<Chad`Winters> And when was that?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's kind of hot.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She gives the date of Chad's trip to the park
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Yes, there's nine weapons. After all, you meant Weapon IX, have you not?
<DeathStar> *met
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Either she was there or that Detective was working for her."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh right. That little girl.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait. Are we seriously going to have to fight all the weapons? Ripple was scary.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah I remember her, quiet girl. Little crazy but quiet. So why would she be trying to kill me? Wait is this some sort of Weapon theme? Kill the other weapons?
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus shrugs, moving off.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Once she learns you lived, she'll be back, probably
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fucking hell. 6He lets out a sigh and rubs his face. 1Dude you suck.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, until we find a lead...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ya know, go on a date with a girl, and she tries to kill you....Wait I suck?! Why do I suck?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ALl we can do is try to find Angela. Think if we sent out feelers asking her ot meet us, would she?
<Chad`Winters> She'd be cocky enough to, I bet.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If you weren't a stupid weapon we wouldn't be in this shitstorm. I swear if she tries to kill me, that's the third strike and I'm out.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wouldn't hurt to try.
<Chii> <Dawn> There's no security camera footage inside the hospital I'm guessing?
* Chad`Winters pulls out his datapad and begins typing up a message.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> IF she had half a brain, there wouldn't be
<Chii> <Dawn> ...Did you check? IF it were her.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I just wonder if she means to make Aya her daughter for real. She has been,.. mentally ill since losing her own kids
<DeathStar> <Warren> I checked; they were wiped clean
<Seraphna> Jonas> "She seems to be clever enough if she pulled this off."
<Chii> <Dawn> Right. Next-- were they wiped locally or remotely?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't know yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Zephyr, then peers down guiltily suddenly
* Chad`Winters slowly eyes Darien at that and he hits enter, sending a message outwards stating "You've got my attention. What do you want?" Chad Winters
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> That's an understatment. 6He tells Darien with a nod.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Cheryl, seeing she hit the same thought he did
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot say I am fond of Angela Bennet, but it would seem hard to beleive she would do this - she wishes to change, after all
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't tell me you're scared already.
<Chii> <Dawn> My next step would be to check the street cameras surrounding the hospital. Only two personal vehicles and two ambulances left. We should be able to spot at least the drivers.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I've already begun that. 6* He notes to DAwn, having said so earlier
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm just lazy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If it is Angela, she's always considered Zephyr her little sister.... 6* She notes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You'll never be a superhero with that attitude. Let's meet up with the tohers.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It seems odd in a way, but after everything she's done, it's no less crazy than some of her other stunts.
<Chii> <Dawn> Then I'd run the plates on the personal vehicles and cross-reference the facial recognition to make sure the person driving matches the registered owner.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods and gets in the van, starting it up. He pauses. 1You have to ride on the top.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Hmmm." *he seems to be thinking, looking around*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I nearly died. 6He gets inside the van
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh damnit, you smell. And I'm not going to clean the van....shit Warren's going to be pissed. 6He sighs and rolls down all the windows, driving for the hospital.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps if I speak with her, I can help ... make her understand this is not the right way to do this.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He'll get over it.
* Chad`Winters glances at Erevis, it doesn't take a psychic to know what he'll do when he gets his hands on her
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I would like to point out that thinking with your cock almost got you killed.
<Chii> <Dawn> Of course this Angela Bennet you know well. So speaking of facial recognition, you could check her in the databases and find the most recent match to see where she was before, after and during this time slot.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well 4 out of 100 times aren't bad odds
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head slightly, but says nothing
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You could try, but knowing her, she would jsut play the victim and then promise she'll do better or something.
<Chad`Winters> If it get's my daughter back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But if she returns AYa Winters to us, would it not be successful all the same?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Assuming she is the one.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah it would. Hmm. Erevis is right though, if it is Angela and we come on strong with threats, she'll just revert and we won't get shit from her.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "It does seem like everyone's leaping to the same conclusion, call me impartial, but I don't know this girl and everyone's leaping on her name."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers at his datapad after results come in. "All cameras were wiped between cerain periods of time, and all over, to make it impossible to tell where they went."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We're leaping for a reason, sonny.
<Chad`Winters> History is why we're leaping towards this along with what facts we have.
<Seraphna> * Jonas puts up his hands. "No doubt, I'm just wondering if it wasn't intended for you all to leap."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up an overview of the maps of cameras affected. They form an Omega symbol
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ironic
* Chad`Winters looks at Warren.
<Chii> <Dawn> Calling card or framing..
<Seraphna> Jonas> "...Yeah, I'm actually wondering the same thing as shrimp here."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> That's such an annoying symbol.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The symbol itself is meaningless other than to make us wonder what it's meaning may be. We are still left with it either being Angela Bennet, or not
<Chad`Winters> It's all we can go on and it's better then nothing.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> STDs though, really? 6He pulls up outside the hospital and gets out. 1Zephyr was really worried about you. 6He tells Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He had to have been joking...Really? Well I'd hope so, she did raise me.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl considers some things, peering at Chad. "She message yet?" 6* She asks, as if Angela might respond instantly
<Chad`Winters> Not yet.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods once. 1Wait till she finds out about the STDs though. 6He notes as he approaches the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr checks on MEgumi to make sure she's okay, all alone
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes him and rushes upto, swinging his fist in to give him a charlie horse
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks and makes a face, cursing under his breath.
<DeathStar> <Warren> For now, all we can do is gather clues. Waiting here will do nothing. I don't think Angela will respond right away
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves upto Zephyr. 1"How's he doing?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Angela and I aren't really enemies, so she might be more willing to talk to me. If so, I don't mind to see if I can find out what she knows. When she responds that is.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, having had a distant look, then looks. "Not good at all."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps you should send your own message.
<Chii> <Megumi> <...Loooonely.>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns, adopting a serious look and stance. 1"That bad."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods once. 1Will do. 6He pulls out his datapad and sends out a message. Asking if she would be willing to talk.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I'm scared for Aya>
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a breath, doing his best not to make a scene as he steps up to the others, slowly rubbing the spot where he got hit.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll take those back to my house who want to go and begin to dig into things t osee what I can find
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, then eyes Dias as his smell begins to stink up the area
<Chii> <Megumi> <Yeah... I can feel it.>
<DeathStar> 6* Even Zephyr begins to edge away.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...What? I got dumped in a garbage to die. I didn't have time to shower!
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah, the van smells the exact same.
<Chii> 6Dawn inches to Darien's side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows politely, then --- hurries away from Dias
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pockets the datapad, and nods to the others before he walks towards Darien's vehicle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves off. Warren grabs Dawn's dress to drag him along
<Chad`Winters> Warren, keep me upto date with anything you find.
<Chii> 6Dawn pouts a bit, pinching his nose.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Of course
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks to Cheryl, "You want to go back to the base or stick with Chad?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets into Cheryl's van
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll head back to the base for now. 6* She follows Warren
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nudges Zephyr's shoulder and gives her a nod, turning to move back to the van that Dias stunk up.
<Seraphna> * Jonas nods, walking with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles at Dias. "Glad you're safe." 6* Then she retreats like he were the plague
* Chad`Winters moves to Darien's vehicle.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like being poisoned can kill me. 6He flexes cockilly and moves off for their van
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Warren has allowed Dawn to move about the base, though if he deos anything suspicious, people are suppose to deck him
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, meanwhile, is in his office, studying things and whatnot, as if looking for a pattern.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of the shower, wearing just swimming trunks.
<Seraphna> * Jonas has already decked him once for looking at him funny. He currently stands in the armory, trying to pass the time going over inventory.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the mess hall, eyeing a datapad
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus, after having showered and gotten the Dias funk off of himself, walks along the hallway, towel draped around his neck.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes his towel and snaps Marcus across the ass
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks and makes a fast. 1Oh you're a bastard.
<Chii> 6Dawn would have displayed jiujitsu if Jonas tried hitting him for anything retarded.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> One that can't be killed by conventional means. Just remember that one.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A "Weapon" attacks Dias. Aya is taken. Hm.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Pft. You would've died had it not been for me. 6He moves on, whistling.
<Chii> 6Dawn otherwise would have spent more then ninety percent of his time in the recreational room, playing a simulated piano.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I could've beat it. I just let you save me to see if you were really my sidekick
<Seraphna> * Jonas would have laughed at the jujitsu and still clocked him. He steps out of the armory and hwads for the mess hall, job done.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Plus it was Caduceus that saved me
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a laugh at that, moving into the messhall and grabs three beers, places on by Cheryl as he walks by and then hands one to Dias after stepping back out into the hall.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes it and cracks it open to take a drink. He nods to Cheryl as Marcus comes back. 1"Think she'll be alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't glance up.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Only if we find Aya.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Then I guess that's what we'll do. IT's a superhero's job to protect the generations that follow us
<Seraphna> * Jonas moves over to Cheryl's table after grabbing some food and a bottle of water.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Angela's #1 desire is family... That only leaves two targets I can think of if it is here. 6* She murmurs, then gets up and grabs her leather jacket, stepping through the kitchen area to the exit there
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah. Bet everyone's right and it was that goddamn Angela. 6He growls at the thought, rubbing his shoulder twitchily.
<DeathStar> *is her
<Seraphna> * Jonas watches her go, he abandons his food and follows after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets on her motorcycle
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Going solo?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. 6* She says simply, then drives off
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I hope for her safety it isn't her. The look in Cheryl's eyes and Chad's face...
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks around for other vehicles for a moment.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Don't blame them. Don't blame them one bit. 6He says with a slight spit, downing his beer.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Second that. 6He downs his beer.
<DeathStar> 6* There are other vehicles, but one has to sign them out and all.
<Seraphna> * Jonas steps back inside and decides to wait until trouble calls, he lets Warren know that Cheryl went out hunting for something.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Jonas' message, clicking his tongue
<Xanatos> <Marcus> God I need to work out this aggression now. Punching bag? 6He glances to Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias is the bag.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Only if I'm not inside it this time.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I mean it was funny when I hit you the first time out of surprise. Then it sucked when I realized I couldn't get out.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Actually I think you have that backwards. It sucked when you hit me. But funny when you couldn't get out
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I just wish I could've seen the look on your face. 6He pats his back as he moves to the training room
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is in his office, gathering V.I. notes, while Zephyr is outside, peering out at the night sky with a strange expression
* Chad`Winters sits in his daughters room, one of her dolls in his hands
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sits at a table, peering over his datapad as he waits for a response.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at the table as well, having had Megumi in her lap to brush her hair like she were a cat
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know what to say to make Chad Winters feel better
<Chii> 6Megumi sits there doll-like herself. 1"Maybe nothing?" 6She peers up.
<Chii> 6Zephyr receives a message.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks out of her daze to look at it, opening it up
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> There's nothing you can say. It's that simple.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see... 6* She peers down with a frown, shifting to brush Megumi's hair more while petting an ear
<Chii> 6It's from Chii, asking her to pick up a package on the base for Aya. Apparently she's been at a resort for a few weeks and decided to mail some of the non-perishable foods and a swimsuit and dress in her size from the Cartel worlds.
<Chii> <Megumi> Meerow. Sometimes words don't convey it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She puts it away slowly, frowning in thought
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps I should make him something to eat.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We could all go in and give him a hug. But I think that might just upset him more. 6He muses, glancing up from the datapad.
<Chii> <Megumi> It's something!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I will do that. 6* She puts Megumi in Xanatos' lap, then enters the kitchen
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and slowly glances towards the kitchen, before glancing backt o his lap.
<Chii> 6Megumi peers at Xanatos awkwardly, raising a hand. 1"Mrow?"
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Megumi has a collar, too
* Chad`Winters sets the doll down and het gets up and steps out of Aya's room, shutting the door behind him
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You ever get the feeling that you've been domesticated? 6He shifts so she can remain on his lap as he looks at the datapad.
<Chii> <Megumi> Wh-What's this word mean? 'Domesticated?'" 6She looks confused, puffing her cheeks.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh, nothing important. I am too. 6He assures her.
<Chii> <Megumi> Er'vis loves you. Must be good?!
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think it is.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back over and hands each of them a cookie, though Megumi's smells - different. She walks back into the kitchen
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives Erevis a smile and eats his.
<Chii> 6Megumi quickly switches her's with Xanatos as he goes to take a bite.
<DeathStar> 6* Xan would taste catnip
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos is oblivious. He pauses and arches a brow. 1What the?
<Chii> 6Megum innocently nibbles Xanatos' cookie.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances towards the Kitchen. 1Erevis, did you do something to my cookie?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. Yours was chocolate chip, and Megumi Zhenmei's was catnip chip
* Chad`Winters moves down the hallway and heads for the back door
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He glances to Megumi.
<Chii> 6Megumi hops down and starts to slink away
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Wait, why would you give her catnip? Doesn't that make her all crazy in the pants?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> IT does? I read it makes cat's enjoy their snacks
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Chad, then offers a cookie
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well they also rub on things a lot when they eat it...I think. 6He hmms and eats another bite, seeing if he feels like rubbing on things.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"I'm fine." 6He moves and steps outside near the pool
<DeathStar> 6* The backyard is empty, outside a banana on a string
* Chad`Winters eyes the banana on the string
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to out by the furthest tree
* Chad`Winters opens the door and glances back inside. 1"Is there any reason there's a banana and a string outside?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Doesn't work on me. 6He says finally, finishing off the cookie anyway, as if he doesn't want to waste it.
<Chad`Winters> Where's Zephyr?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't know. Ask Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does a whistle to summon Megumi - like a cat
<Chii> 6Megumi peeks in from the living room
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Where is Alpha Zephyr?
<Chii> <Megumi> Um... <Zephy?>
<DeathStar> 6* There's silence.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and he pulls a pistol out from under his shirt as he moves for the banana
<Chii> <Megumi> Um... <Zeeeephy, where are you?> 6She makes a face, trying to feel her out herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr suddenly snaps back into reality and steps out from the far tree. <Something up?> 6* She asks
<Chii> <Megumi> <Scary man want to know where you are.>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Chad. "Oh... sorry. I thought I herad my name..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks out again at the forest in the distance
* Chad`Winters relaxes slightly when Zephyr appears, then studies her then where she's looking. 1"Just ignore it for now."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmm, okay. 6* She turns, peering back, then frowns. "Guess I thought it would be Aya calling for some reason. Silly, huh?" 6* She moves back for the house
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers out from the window, having moved over to watch Chad. 1She's acting odd.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah. 6He eyes his gun, flicking the safety off
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Kitten, perhaps you should keep a close eye on her. 6* She tells Megumi, calling her by her pet name - emphasis on the pet
<Chii> 6Megumi leaps out to pounce Zephyr as she approaches the hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squeals and falls over, looking more like herself now.
<Chii> <Megumi> You're ..."it!" 6She scrambles off.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks, then chases Megumi. "Cheater!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do yo ubelieve it could be, Xanatos?
<Chad`Winters> I've seen what Angela's done before with her powers. 6He pulls the slide back.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> The only thing I could think of is her being controlled. Like how Ariel and Angela could do.
<Chii> 6Megumi scrambles over Xanatos on all fours, dashing into the kitchen
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pants as she runs in a moment later, dodging Xanatos for the kitchen. Erevis waits for them to be out of sight again
<Chad`Winters> Angela's the only one who's ever fully used that ability. 6He nods towards the forest. 1"Which means someone was waiting out there for her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then we should make sure Megumi Zhenmei keeps near Zephyr; being her pilort, she might override controls
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, something crossing his mind
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Or am I mistaken?
<Chii> 6Megumi runs back in and over Xanatos again-- scrambling out and upstairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr runs by and knocks Xan over, then follows
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses after Megumi scrambles over hi and then again. 1Want to go out there and check for anyone? My guess they're all ready g-6He falls over.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can stay up for a while and make sure I do not feel foreign minds
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr's safer near her pilot as long as she pays attention. And Xan's right, they'll be gone by now. But I'll be up anyways, no way I can sleep the way it is.
<Chii> 6Megumi squeals, narrowly dodging Zephyr above, then slides down the banister to the ground floor-- and shifts to sprint over Xanatos again
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. "If you need to speak, my ears are always on my head."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gets to his feet, dusting himself off, he jerks to catch Megumi this time.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr collapses down the stairs and pants
<Chad`Winters> Nothing to say that hasn't been said
<Chii> 6Megumi flails in Xanatos' arms, mrowling
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's true, her ears are right there. 6He reaches out to wiggle one. Then whispers to Megumi about sticking near Zephyr to make sure no one controls her, before placing her back on the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks and grabs Megumi in a hug. "You're it." 6* She runs off
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks
<DeathStar> <Erevis> D-Do not wiggle my ears!
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I was just proving your point.
<Chii> 6Megumi squeaks gasping in astonishment at being caught. She pouts, glaring at Xanatos as she blames him for the loss-- like a cat-- then rampages after Zephyr, knocking some things off the table in the process and scratching Xanatos lightly in wild flails.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see she wants a spanking again
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follwos after Megumi
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos winces. 1Hit her with a god dang stick. 6He rubs his leg.
<DeathStar> -DUN DUN DUN-
