<DeathStar> 7.13.2240
<DeathStar> Location: Hunter Base
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tinkers in her lab, while Iceheart is in the command center with her two kitsune with her on either side, Freyja dressed in a kinky priestess outfit, stroking her ears, as she tries to go over the information, musing, a meeting called for 10 mins. Chou has been withdrawn and is out on deck, peering over into the ocean waves hitting against the station, and Aya is working on the plane codes
<DeathStar> 6* John relax es in the meeting room
<Seraphna> * Seraphna has taken a break from projects just before the meeting room, she sits by John looking over her notes.
<DeathStar> <John> How's it going, babe?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks into the meeting room and sits down, musing, peering out the diagram of the station
<Seraphna>
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Things are moving along, mostly." *she sits back and sighs* "So much to do still."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei and Aurica take seats as well. Taiga moves wearing tiny reploid armor
<Seraphna> * Elayne flutters in after her, gliding over to the table.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I--- <Taiga> Good protection
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Well it can easily be adapted for living beings."
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves into the meeting room and takes a seat*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers at her notes, a small sketch of 6 eggs in one corner, she frowns. "I'd like to get this station spaceworthy, but we need the defense grid down for that too, and even then... I want to be sure that vision doesn't come true."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart walks in with her bitches, I mean kitsune.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Alright. 6* Katrina steps in as well, pulling off her gloves
<Koala> *Teddy lies on the floor
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *peers up at Iceheart*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Shall we begin?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Aya's worked on the codes, but the fact is transferring them to our shuttle is going to take more time than we realized, but she has managed to study the plane's navigation systems, being from a prominent base like Rommel's
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Oh? Interesting locations?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yes. There's two things we may need to get up to the space stations up in space to shut off the defense grid. The shuttle, and a code to lower the barrier. Apparantly only high ranking generals have them, so a shuttle isn't necessarily enough. We can definitely get the codes in London, where ranking officers are at, but for now we need a shuttle. There is a few located in the Indian base in India.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> We'll use the German plane to fly out there
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Gettinhg the shuttle is where I'll head off for now. I need a certain altitude to slow down time for this reality until I can get reinforcements.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you can get me high enough without getting fried by the defense grid, then I can use my abilities and we can go.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It seems the next logical step then."
<DeathStar> <John> *Rubs his head* You up for that? You been looking tired. <Cheryl> Sure
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I just hope it goes better than it did a year ago
<DeathStar> 6* TAiga makes a face
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls her cheek
<Seraphna> Elayne> "A year ago?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Difficulities in the other reality, nothing to worry about
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "If you say so." *she peers back at her notes*
<Jackieness> <XX> "Ok... no details... will whatever happened int he other reality happen again in our reality?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> For now you all need to dress in clothing befitting the India/Himiyalians. Ire isn't here - he left on personal matters.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Since the cold is my speciality, I'll be coming. Katrina will be staying behind this time to monitor things here
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "DId someone tell him about Lilith?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I, unm, did
<Seraphna> * Seraphna lets out a sigh. "Well, if he lives, hopefully something will come of it."
<Koala> *Teddy rummages in his chest before pulling out a sherpa hat and putting it on
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Elayne, we'll need the thermal suits and chips for both Fire and Ice if they're in the lab, for the reploids going."
<Seraphna> * Elayne salutes and flaps up and out.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart shifts about the German stealth plane
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> And this hunk of junk actually flew you here. <Aya> Yes. I've made sure the codes will work for us as we approach the village near the Himalayas
<Seraphna> * Seraphna and Elayne wear skin tight tactical suits made for handling differing temperatures, checking their gear.
<DeathStar> 6* John adjusts a thick coat and gloves for when they get there, able to handle the heat for now
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Mom, why are all the outfits you make for us skin tight?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "The better question is why not, dear."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Because she's a pervert."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the skin tight outfit Seraphna gave her
<DeathStar> 6* Then eyes the ones on Lorelei and Aurica, and even poor little Taiga, then Seraphna
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Real reason is they fit under other clothes easily."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga looks traumatized after the native Africian village, then this
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Adding a layer of protection you can mask... you all did bring layers for over them right?"
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I-I..."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Who's flying this bucket/
<Nihao> <Chii> Can I?
<Koala> *Teddy yawns, adjusting his hat
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Go ahead.
<Jackieness> <XX> "I still say its because she's a pervert."
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja blinks at Chii
<Nihao> <Chii> Sweet, I've always wanted to learn
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That is one of many reas--- learn?"
<Nihao> 6Chii wiggles her fingers, moving for the controls
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is quiet from the co pilot seat, her blonde hair behind her
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You actually know how to fly... right? We don't need silly detours."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Cassandra and company will be heading to Lodon with their ships, Teddy, for the second part of the mission to get the codes.
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> We'll meet up with them after this mission
<Koala> *Teddy nods
<DeathStar> <Aya> Okay, Miss Chii, take us out on this course. *She shows her the coordinates*
<Nihao> <Chii> 'Kay
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja quietly prays
<Nihao> 6Chii moves the controls forward. Nothing happens.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya quietly powers up the engines
<Nihao> <Chii> ...
<Nihao> 6Chii wiggles the controls, then pushes them forward again.
<DeathStar> 6* The proprellers spoinning
<DeathStar> 6* The plane moves along the deck and off the side nto the air
<DeathStar> 6* Forward technically would be down, while back would be up
<Seraphna> * Seraphna watches quietly, a bit wary since Chii didn't answer her.
<Nihao> 6Chii squints, but doesn't seem to notice that her movements aren't actually doing anything, content like a kid with the fake steering wheels.
<DeathStar> 6* The plane begins to drift off and down
<DeathStar> 6* To the ocean!
<DeathStar> 6* Aya signals their doom with a hand gesture
<Nihao> <Chii> Wheee!
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves and takes the controls herself and starts bringing them up.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart meanwhile is groping Freyja
<DeathStar> 6* The plane chugs
<Nihao> 6The controls are indicated to be on the co-pilot's side
<Nihao> 6By a light above Chii hasn't noticed.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya lets Seraphna take her controls
<Seraphna> * Seraphna quietly gets them on course.
<Koala> *Teddy sniffs, burried under equipment
<Jackieness> <XX> "Its going to take forever in this thing."
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> I had the station get near India
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Over the last few days.
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Now it'll drift on course for London
<Jackieness> <XX> "I had to throw in that pessimistic comment. Its kind of expected of me now."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Squints*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why? <Taiga> Leave her be. She's the cool one
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her Chiio
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We should be worried for our daughter
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "By my estimation, X was built with all the optimism."
<Nihao> <Chii> Eh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She thinks pessimisim is cool
<Nihao> <Chii> I was pessimistic
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Until you met me.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei and Aurica pull out books on notes about their journey to study
<Seraphna> * Elayne hmms. She hands Chii a sweet.
<DeathStar> 6* Pointing out things to each other
<Koala> *Teddy grumbles as he frees himself and finds a new spot
<Seraphna> * Classic Chii
<Jackieness> <XX> *goes quiet at Sera's mention of X*
<DeathStar> 6* 7 hours later, they are flying over India. Taiga is asleep on Teddy's stomach, despite being 10, finding him cute and soft. The cold winds of the mountains in the far, fear distance can be seen
<DeathStar> 6* The fuel guage beeps
<DeathStar> 6* On E
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "And that's the end of our fuel."
<Jackieness> <XX> "...ok... seriously... what the hell?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Far below them is a village it seems, if one can get down to the ground
<Koala> Teddy>...Did not plan?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna works on taking them in for a landing. "Calm down. You're flying with a Wind Dragon and a Telekenetic."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei and Aurica keep reading their note, comparing them
<DeathStar> 6* John closes his eyes as they go down
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be pretty close to their destination according to Aya's coordinates. Aya passes out parachutes just in case.
<DeathStar> 6* The mountains in the distance seem to be where the base is hidden. The plane experiences some turbulance as it goes downward
<Seraphna> * Seraphna concentrates, tapping the Wind Rune and creating updrafts to slow them while Elayne slows them with TK as best she can. Seraphna guides them in. "You know, these old planes, all landings are actually controlled crashes."
<DeathStar> 6* The sun can be seen in the noon day position
<Koala> Teddy tries to put it on, comically small for him
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga shifts on his stomach
<DeathStar> 6* The plane gets with 500 meters of the ground when it begins to pitch downward, the propellers stopping altogether
<DeathStar> <Aya> .... Eeep. <John> *punches the alarm* There
<Seraphna> * Elayne shifdts her TK to hold the pitch straight while Seraphna ups the winds to slow them more. She hits the landing gear.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Is this still a controlled crash or is uncontrolled now?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You may want to hold on."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Gonna need a rest after this... maybe a sandwich."
<DeathStar> 6* The plane approaches the village head on now; a stream of questionable water can be seen as they hit the ground and slide along as Indians peer at them from their houses and they head right for a cow and --- moo. Squish
<DeathStar> 6* The plane stops from the cowicide
<DeathStar> 6* Dust gathers about the plane
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Okay, the good news is, burgers. The bad news, I think those might be sacred here."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sacred? Why?
<Jackieness> <XX> "Worse news. They are going to form a mob with torches and pitchforks because we just squished an avatar of Vishnu?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Something about the Hindu religion and them believing Brahmin are a high caste of reincarnation."
<DeathStar> 6* The villagers begin to surround the ploane
<Seraphna> Elayne> "We could always present them with Tiamat or something, or just say the cow must have tried to save us."
<Koala> Teddy>...
<DeathStar> <JOhn> I don't think we want to go out there
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "XX could always teleport us away from here, though that might get detected."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "The base is kinda far still."
<Jackieness> <XX> "And I don't know the area well enough to teleport safely anyway."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Why don't I just go half dragon and claim I'm Vritra?"
<DeathStar> 6* There is a knock on the plane
<DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes Seraphna with a frown
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A cow is sacred...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seriously?
<Koala> *Teddy moves to answer it
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga looks confused, peering about
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Yeah..." *she blinks* Though bears...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Why do they worship cows.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> They do not have celestial puppies here
<Nihao> <Chii> Why can't a cow be sacred?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna rises and stretches, moving over by Teddy.
<DeathStar> 6* The villagers peer in, leaning on various sticks - their houses are made of various clay buildings, rocks, straw, etc. They study Teddy, then the Nazi plane, then the others. They speak in their language.
<Koala> Teddy> Uhhh, Hello. Am Teddy.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna listens carefully and lets her Cipher kick in, but motions to Teddy to use his database till she's ready.
<DeathStar> <Villager> <You have killed our last sacred one. You must be punished under our sacred laws.> 6* It seems due to the Nazis killing their cows, the people have fallen, or made up, new laws.
<DeathStar> 6* They politely step aside for the group to step oiut
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deadpans
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh great.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They're claiming we must be punished. One moment. Erm...."
<Nihao> <ChiiC> Should I devour them, oneesama?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna coughs, than in Hindi. "Hello, we did not intend any harm to the sacred cow. We may be able to get you more."
<DeathStar> <Freyja> No, oneechan, we must respect other religions
<Nihao> <ChiiC> ... What about respecting our continuing to live?
<Koala> *Teddy climbs down
<DeathStar> <Village Chief> <The soul of the sacred being cannot be replaced. Come with us, please, so we do not have to add your bones to our decorations> 6* They refer to the skeleton bones on their warriors. Cheryl jerks and pulls Taiga back
<DeathStar> 6* The villagers politely lead them with their sticks into their village
<Seraphna> * Seraphna hops down, Elayne already hidden under her jacket.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya swallows and steps out, and Iceheart, deadpanned, hops out, patting her kitsunies
<DeathStar> <John> This always happewns to uos
<DeathStar> <John> I can't go on vacation anywhere
<Jackieness> <XX> "They do not resemble the Hindus in the books."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Mmm, I have a surprise for them." *she says, back in Basic*
<DeathStar> 6* AS they move along, drums are being beaten and half naked women are dancing about a fire as the remains of the splattered cow are brought before it. The group is led inside a straw cell hut and the door shut after them
<DeathStar> 6* Inside is a tray of drink and food. Taiga grabs it and Cheryl snatches it from her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What if it's poisoned
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs. "They won't poison us, they want to punish us. Though if I have my way..."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Seraphna
<DeathStar> <Aya> You don't even know what their punishment is and you're trying to get out of it
<Koala> *Teddy sits, before blinking and sighing "Left cold weather hat in plane."
<Nihao> <Chii> They didn't want to kill us obviously, why not just not fuck with it for now?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *shakes her head* "Who said that?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> You've been plotting this entire time, Seraphna
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'm always plotting."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "You should see her lab. She has plots for everything." <Seraphna> "What I'm plotting is for after, or of course, if they try to harm one of you."
<DeathStar> 6* TAiga sips the drink when Cheryl isn't looking and looks chilled
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs and sits, taking a bit of the food to munch.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mmmm, ah love you mommy
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna feels relaxed as well
<Jackieness> <XX> "This situation is starting to annoy me."
<DeathStar> 6* John pours some drink down XX's throat, making her relax and loosen up
<Seraphna> * Seraphna smiles. "You all get too tense, sit and hae some."
<DeathStar> <JOhn> ... What?
<Nihao> <Chii> Is it spiked..? She gets like that with alcohol...
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga plays with Chii's taill
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Soooft.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It's got something in it. But it's not poison."
<Seraphna> * Elayne takes some and eats as well.
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit of the dancing and music, the door open and the villagers are painted in fresh blood
<Jackieness> <XX> "...wow... I'm seeing... the 1960s..."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Oh my."
<DeathStar> <Villager Chief> *he holds out cups of red liquid* Drink and learn punishment
<DeathStar> 6* He hands each of them one except TAiga
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grabs hers and downs it.
<Seraphna> * Elayne shrugs and follows suit.
<DeathStar> 6* John downs it and begins to hack and cough. Aya drink a little and gags. Lorelei and Aurica drink theirs, Lorelei looking ill. Cheryl drinks her's and makes a face. "Fruity taste with my blood?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna downs her whole cup with ease.
<Seraphna> * Elayne hides a little purr.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Not bad."
<Jackieness> <XX> *takes the cup and downs it, then gives a little burp*
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart drinks her's.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yuck. 6* Freyja tentatively drinks, and looks wild afterwards, drinking the spiked drinks to calm herself
<Seraphna> * Seraphna rubs John's back.
<DeathStar> 6* The chief peers at Teddy
<Koala> *Teddy drinks his
<Koala> Teddy> Can go to plane and get hat? *In Hindi
<DeathStar> 6* As they drink, he speaks. "You have drank the blood of the sacred one; it will show you a vision. Let us sit by the fire." 6* He leads them all out to the roaring fire where the naked Indians. Teddy's hat is already waiting there for him
<DeathStar> <VIllage> PEer into the fire
<Seraphna> * Sera and Elayne peer in.
<DeathStar> 6* John, Freyja, Iceheart, and Aya peer into the fire
<Jackieness> <XX> *looks into the fire*
<Koala> *Teddy pulls it on and looks into it
<Nihao> 6ChiiC makes a face and follows Freyja's example, Chii doing so as well reluctantly beside Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* AS they look.... the area goes druggy and black and they all are pulled into a swirling blackness. Teddy awakens as a real black bear in the forest, with Lorelei, Aurica, Chii 1, Chii 2, and Freyja as foxes nearby, and Cheryl, Seraphna, and Elayne as dragons, and XX finds herself a squirrel on a branch. John finds himself a rockin' raccoon
<DeathStar> 6* Somehow they all seem to have the ability to talk mentally each other in this foresty area near the Himalaya mountain
<Nihao> <Chii 1/2> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei kons and looks down at herself, tackling Aurica and rolling with her
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja is a prestine white fox. She looks around, confused
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Well... this is definately a strange confirmation of spirit animal.
<DeathStar> 6* John the raccoon checks out his tail
<DeathStar> <John> Is this real?
<Seraphna> Elayne> Because we haven't really changed much? Cheryl looks pretty lovely though. <Seraphna> Hmm, our husband is being cute.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flaps her wings, confused and tipping over toward her Chii, big enough to crush her sadly. Help!"
<Koala> *Teddy roars "AM BEAR!" *He looks excited
<Seraphna> * Seraphan whips her tail around and grabs Cheryl's, pulling her back to steady her.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei and Aurica, one blonde, the other white, end up under a Chii, peering up
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Cute, it's like training a hatchling."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the *beep* is wrong with me?!
<Jackieness> <XX> ~Why am I a squirrel? Am I really a squirrel? How annoying!~
<DeathStar> 6* XX's chittering annoys a bird who eyes her
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Did you just censor yourself?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I did *beeping* nbot
<DeathStar> 6* The bird swoops in at XX
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "This vision has been rated G for General Audiences."
<Jackieness> <XX> *tosses a nut at the bird!*
<Nihao> <Chii> What the *beep*.
<DeathStar> 6* It caws and looks annoyed, circling
<Seraphna> Elayne> "The question is.... what do we do?"
<DeathStar> 6* In the distance of the village, they hear what sounds like commotions
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We could try flying about and getting a lay of the land." <Elayne> "Umm... let's check the village."
<Jackieness> <XX> *puffs out her cheeks and skitters to another tree*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods and starts to head that way, she scoops John onto her back.
<DeathStar> 6* A pretty squirrel is in the tree. It waves it's tail at XX, showing her all it's nuts inside
<DeathStar> 6* John rides along, John raccoon cool
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to walk along, stumbling
<Seraphna> * Elayne steadies her. "Watch how Mom walks."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei and Aurica playfully play along. Not noticing a large wolf eyeing them for a snack
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja walks along all proper like for a foc
<DeathStar> 6* The wolf makes a dash for Lore and Auri
<Jackieness> <XX> *shakes her head and then does a leap to another branch*
<Koala> *Teddy roars at it
<DeathStar> 6* The wolf yelps and turns, running off
<DeathStar> 6* Lore and Auri climb up onto Teddy, nuzzling
<Koala> *Teddy moves the villages
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart springs from the water suddenly - a beautiful... fish
<DeathStar> 6* She follows along the current
<DeathStar> 6* So far no sign of Aya
<Seraphna> * Seraphna heads along while Elayne helps Cheryl move. "It's easy for us I guess, Lunarians are born in a form like this."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Aya? You about here?"
<DeathStar> 6* A butterfly lands on Seraphna
<DeathStar> <Aya> Here
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Lovely form Aya."
<Jackieness> <XX> *skitters through the trees above the others*
<Koala> *Teddy moves for the fish
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the village, they see the village has Nazis there, who look bored and not wanting to be there, and a strange monk like figure, picking out young women and children. He seems to glow red in the animal's eyes and has a long beard and a Russian accent
<Koala> *Teddy pauses and stares
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Well, doesn't he just scream 'enemy'?"
<Koala> Teddy> Rasputin?
<DeathStar> <Monk> These will do. 6* He has the women and children load up onto an old fashion cart with bars and closes, and gets onto it with a driver and they bnegin to pull away. The nazis, once done, move back toward the mountains, a little parrallel, but not quite the same direction
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Didn't he die long before WW2?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then again, Senreich brought back ROmmel
<Koala> Teddy> Dah.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Mmm, that one must have been a challenge."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> *hops out of the water* The Nazis and him seem to be working together only in as far as gathering people.
<DeathStar> 6* The villagers grumble angerily, powerless to stop the monk with the Nazis there, and go back to their huts, their cows dwindling
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Was was shot, burned, castrated, stabbed, his limbs and head severed, and buried in the four corners of Russia."
<Koala> Teddy> Am disappointed.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'm cutting the list of things they did to him short too."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart leaps out to say something else when a bird grabs her
<DeathStar> 6* It flies up into thea ir
<Seraphna> * Elayne swipes to try and get it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> OH crap
<Jackieness> <XX> *tosses a nut at the bird with Iceheart*
<DeathStar> 6* Elayne barely misses it, and the nut hits Iceheart out of it's arms and she falls into the woods nearby
<DeathStar> 6* But not near a body of water
<DeathStar> (claws)
<Seraphna> * Elayne sniffs for the one scent all Lunarians love most, fish, trying to root her out carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* There's definitely fish in the scream
<DeathStar> *stream
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Remember not to eat her."
<Seraphna> * Elayne sniffs in the woods. Moving towards where she fell.
<DeathStar> 6* As Elayne enters, she'd find Iceheart twitching on the ground near some snow
<DeathStar> 6* Butterfly Aya twitters about
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja fox moves over worriedly
<Seraphna> * Elayne gently scoops her in her claw, moving towards the water, scooping snow in her other claw.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart has gone still, despite the snow, when she reaches the water.
<DeathStar> 6* Is it in time?!
<Seraphna> * Elayne puts her in the water. "Come on..."
<DeathStar> 6* ICeheart sinks in....
<DeathStar> 6* The blackness swirls about them and they find themselves looking at the fire in their normal body, the sun set by now
<Seraphna> * Elayne blinks, looking towards Iceheart.
<DeathStar> 6* The villagers are dressed normally now due to the chill of the mountain air ocming down
<Koala> *Teddy blinks
<Seraphna> * Seraphna blinks a bit and rubs her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* ICeheart, being a reploid and not needing to breathe, shows no sign of breathing, eyes closed
<Koala> Teddy> Was bear.
<DeathStar> 6* John takes a breath in and look around. Taiga is there, having eaten and blinks as they wake
<Seraphna> * Elayne moves over to gently poke her.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Oh, my real body!"
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart opens her eyes
<Seraphna> Elayne> "You okay?"
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Yeah, you got to me in time
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Thank you
<Seraphna> Elayne> "You're welcome."
<DeathStar> <VIllage Chief> <You saw what your punishment was?>
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei and Aurica holds each other. Aurica rubs where her ears and tail was at
<Seraphna> * Seraphna stretches. Then in Hindi. "Mmm, yes. Thankfully we were already planning to face it."
<Jackieness> <XX> *hops to her feet* "We have to go and kick Rasputin's ass!"
<DeathStar> 6* He nods and food is placed before them - meager fruits and grain. "It is dangerous to go to his monestary at night."
<DeathStar> <VIllage Chief> <You could lose your soul trekking up that path in the moonlight>
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Are you suggesting we wait the night here?"
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Likely some sort of magical traps, he was probably brought back specifically because of his supernatural connections. Or it could just be a scare tactic."
<Nihao> <Chii> Out of body is so weird
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her back, to comfort, peering. Freyja shivers
<DeathStar> <Village Chief> You can stay here and we will see if any will guide you
<DeathStar> <Village Chief> But if you go at night, I cannot say if any will
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "At night we'd have a better time sneaking though..." <Elayne> "Maybe waiting is for the best this time."
<DeathStar> 6* He tells them how all who try at night have never made it
<DeathStar> 6* The mountain seems to howl
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I would say he operates at night. Probably sleeps during the day unless he has something important to do."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers at the others.
<Jackieness> <XX> "So what? Senreich brought rasputin back as a vampire?"
<DeathStar> <John> It seems to me....
<DeathStar> <JOhn> That we do whatever ghroup majority wants
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "He took those people for something."
<DeathStar> <John> Who wants to eat good food and a warm bed, and go in the morning?
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja raises her hand, as does Aya
<DeathStar> 6* John raises his
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I say food and rest. Mom you already did a lot today." *she raises her hand*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sits and looks at the rest. "And who wants to trek up the mountain in the dark and get a jump on Rasputin?"
<Koala> *Teddy raises his hand
<Nihao> <Chii> I agree...
<Jackieness> <XX> *raises her hand*
<Nihao> <Chii> He could be gone. But I'll wait if we acquiesce on that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl raises her hand
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga does too
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Four hands to four."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei and Aurica peer at each other
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Seems it's my vote then
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Seems so."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart closes her eyes
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Trekking up a mountain in the dark is pretty dangerous to begin with
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> But one with someone like this freak, who I know nothing about
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> EAch has it's disadvantages, honestly
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> It may honestly be best if half the team goes now and half the team later
<DeathStar> <John> Really?!
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Hear me out - if a large group went up the side of the mountain in the dark, we could cause trouble
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> A smaller group would be able to move more stealthier in the night
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "And if group A runs into trouble, group B can bail them."
<Koala> Teddy> Could just send me, would just seem like bear.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Right. If Group A is fine, Group B can move rfor the Nazi base
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I doubt a bear would be let inside the monestary, Ted.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> And we can't say if he can't detect you're a reploid or not from a distance - scanners can do that
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Alright, those who wanted to go will be in the first group, those who wanted to stay will be in the second group."
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> So, whoever wants to go tonight, I suggest you go
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods and grabs her backpack, throwing it on. The elder seems to be trying to find a brave guide, finally finding a young man
<Seraphna> * Seraphna never voted since she was acting as leader, she peers and considers, then gets ready to go. "Seems unfitting that I stay behind."
<Seraphna> * Elayne looks worried and upset.
<DeathStar> 6* John pinc hes her rear and puts a fruit in her mnouth
<Nihao> 6Chii hrmphs and goes with Cheryl
<Koala> *Teddy moves to exit
<Seraphna> * Elayne squeaks and blushes.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga hops over to go, too
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is fun!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Elayne, due to our link, if anything happens to group A, you'll know because I'm with them. It's the best setup."
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica moves to go as well
<Seraphna> * Elayne huffs and sighs, nodding.
<DeathStar> 6* The young man moves over, wearing a tiny skeleton head of some sort for 'luck'
<DeathStar> <Young Man> You follow. I lead.
<DeathStar> 6* He adjusts his warm clothing and begtins to head out into the dark
<Seraphna> * Seraphna follows, not having much problem with the dark.
<Koala> *Teddy follows him
<Jackieness> <XX> *nods and starts to follow*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, Aurica, and Taiga follow, TAiga bnouncinhg along. Snow begins to get thicker on the ground as they rise upward
<DeathStar> 6* The wind howling as it picks up and after a few miles, the air begins to thin
<DeathStar> 6* It grows darker, the only light the moon above, clouds covering it now and again, and the occassional tree.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga takes a step in the snow and sinks all the way from a snow drift
<DeathStar> 6* She makes muffled noisoes
<Seraphna> * SEraphna sighs and leans down, fishing her out.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga spits out snow. She blinks and points ahead on a high ridge at what appears to be the broken shape of some old christian monestary, some miles up still
<DeathStar> 6* A single light can be seen in a window
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses and peers ahead, spotting it
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Great, right out of Lovecraft." *she whispers gently*
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Creepy.
<DeathStar> 6* A bell rings from the monestary suddenly. Bong. Bong. Bong. 12 times.
<Jackieness> <XX> What is a Western-style monastery of this age doing in this region of the world?"
<Koala> *Teddy makes a face
<Nihao> <Chii> Thumbing its nose?
<DeathStar> <Aurica> I would say long ago they tried to bring Christianity to this region - and failed judging by it's decayed state.
<DeathStar> <Aurica> And cows.
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica trudges along when there's suddenly howls in the wind, but it sounds more loike shrieks than wolves.
<DeathStar> 6* And they're closing in
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It pervaded for a while, but ultimately after India initially got it's independance, they started pushing it out. Hrm..."
<DeathStar> 6* Their guide freaks out and runs back toward his village
<Koala> Teddy> Is not good.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna shifts into hybrid form, wings unfurling from the slots in back of her tact suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga watches him go until he's out of sight; suddenly his screams and the sound of flesh ripping and trearing is heard.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well -- I suggest we not go that way.
<Koala> *Teddy reels
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Monestary. Run. Now.
<Nihao> <Chii> So much for our fearless guide
<Jackieness> <XX> "...the one who bolts first is always the one who dies."
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica grabs her sister and runs
<Jackieness> <XX> *starts running for the monastery*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods and starts to run, her augmented form faster than her normal one.
<DeathStar> <TAiga> I can ruuuun. <Aurica> Shut up, snowdrift shortie!
<Koala> *Teddy puts Taiga into his chest and runs for the monastery
<DeathStar> 6* The sounds of the shrieks follow them
<Nihao> 6Chii snerks and chuckles
<Nihao> <Chii> I like that one, Aurica.
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Thanks, momma!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl regulates her breathing as they hurry along, covering the miles. The trees begin to get sparser and behind them, eyes can be seen, looking discolored yellow and wide, but somehow humanoid
<Nihao> <Chii> Going to put that on her christmas card-- Snowdrift Shorty
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "If that bastard has been making Chimera I'm going to eat his throat."
<Nihao> <Chii> you want to do that anyway
<Jackieness> <XX> "This is more like an ancient Dracula film than the Himalayas today!"
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead the wooden gates of the monestary can be seen, closed up tight and barred
<DeathStar> 6* The eyes are getting closer and hot, stank breath can be felt behind them
<Nihao> 6Chii quickdraws both of her guns and fires ahead for locks
<DeathStar> 6* One window, tight and narrow for an adult, is open, mostly for decoration, but someone Taiga's size might could get in and open the door
<DeathStar> 6* Or that
<Nihao> <Chii> Teddy, get the door
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's gun blasts the locks, weakening the door
<Seraphna> * Seraphna hurls a wind blast behind them.
<DeathStar> 6* The things behind them are sent back with shrieks
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That's really going to le them know we're here."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The shrieks didn't?!
<Koala> *Teddy rams the door
<Jackieness> <XX> "Seems time for a frontal assault."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hey, we could be being eaten."
<DeathStar> 6* The door busts open, wood splintering all over the stone floor, nothing lit up in the opening room, which smells of old mildew and ancient useage going back who knows how long
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Aurica hurry in, the door never going back up, and look around
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps inside and looks around*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves in, frowning. "We need to close the way."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a secondary door to another room, nowhere near as a strong as the main door; Cheryl opens it, the rust and lack of use making it drug along the floor, sweeping away dust
<Koala> *Teddy looks around for stuff to barricade
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not happening. 6* She notes. TEddy would see rotting tables and some chandlier with wax no longer useable in them and candle holders, but a wide door like that, it would slow them down
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves inside, grabbing some things to help Teddy barricade.
<Jackieness> <XX> *heads inside as well*
<DeathStar> 6* In the distance, the yellow eyes peer at them
<Nihao> 6Chii pulls a few devices out of a satchel, slapping them on the insides of the doors.
<Nihao> <Chii> They won't follow-- or they'll regret it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets the second door open and peers in at a hallway
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> In here when you're ready, I'll close this behind us
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the hallway
<Nihao> 6Chii enters as well, a la RE1
<Seraphna> * Seraphna finishes up and heads through after Cheryl.
<Koala> *Teddy blinks and follows her
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica moves inside. Taiga tries to peak out of Teddy's gut
<DeathStar> 6* The creatures rush the entrance
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> XX, in!
<Jackieness> <XX> *heads inside again?*
<Koala> *Teddy turns, roaring
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes the second door, pulling as hard as she can
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come on, shut
<Seraphna> * Seraphna leans over and adds some dragon strength.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl manages to scrape the second door shut as they get to the barricade entrance and an explosion sounds
<DeathStar> 6* The entrance rumbles, stone and other bits collapsing and sealing it off
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Whoa.
<Nihao> <Chii> Told'ja
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets out a breath, eyeing the hallway - it extends some ways ahead to a twirling staircase, with at least 8 doors on both sides
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, this place is huge....
<DeathStar> <Aurica> And the monk has to know we're here
<Nihao> <Chii> Guess we won't be getting a good look at them though
<Jackieness> <XX> "Maybe they resurrecte dhim without finding his ears first."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets hope the others are doing better.
<DeathStar> -END SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* John leans back on the hay after finishing a large meal, then stratches and twists. Bed bugs!!!
<DeathStar> -END-
<Seraphna> * Elayne is forced to distract him with hot, wild sex. Seraphna misses out.
<Jackieness> <John> They were Nazi Bedbugs!
