* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20091203.log'
<DeathStar> Time: 4 in the morning
<DeathStar> Location: Outside the Orphanage
* Jennifer is now known as Elayne
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there in the rain, peering at the orphanage as the rain comes down. With him are COle, the two new reploids, and that Dias guy
* X1 is now known as Gravedigger
<DeathStar> <John> So Michiru's in here?
* Elayne is now known as Anyata
<Kit> <Null> Cool, it's raining.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Along with the Alt team.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's a bit quiet.
<Anyata> "And they're still in there? How long have they had?"
<DeathStar> 6* John steps forward toward the building, pushing the door open and peering into the entrance; the staircase has a giant hole in it up ahead. There's no sign of Pope and the rest after they got gassed
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps in after the purple gi'd man, his eyes peering around.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole steps in after him, peering around, rubbing his neck slightly he frowns. 1Any of you dealt with this man before?
* Anyata follows the man in the hot purple gi.
<DeathStar> 6* John runs his hand through his soaked hair, slinging water
<Kit> <Null> Of course not, Colephantus.
<DeathStar> <John> I hear he's creepy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> They must've gone that way. 6He motions at the stairs
<Xanatos> <Cole> How can you be so sure? 6He glances to Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Because of the giant hole in the stairs.
<Anyata> "...That's a sign they were here? Why is my confidence dropping rapidly?"
<Kit> <Null> You had some?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves to the hole and peers over slightly. 1Well at least the trap didn't get anyone.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> There's a trap in there?
<Anyata> "Just a smidgen, I think it was that gi that McCormick is wearing."
<DeathStar> <John> .... 6* He eyes Anyata.
<Kit> <Null> He prefers John.
* Anyata looks at him. "...Sorry, John."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Spikes or something.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just for that, you get to lead repoid girl. 6He motions her to take point
<DeathStar> 6* John moves up the stairs, peering over, then pats Cole hard enough to put him off balance. "Well, watch your step."
<Kit> <Null> I was told, John, that if you got a look like that, I'm to tell you that you're totally bitchin'."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and flails his arms, trying to balance on one leg. 1W-whoaaa.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves up the stairs, patting Cole hard enough as soon as he regains balance to throw him off balance again.
<DeathStar> 6* John squints at Null, then shifts, leaping over the hole
<Anyata> "Was it the name? I already stated I like the gi." *she sighs and makes her way up around the hole*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias squats a bit then leaps over the hole.
<Kit> 6Null trots after them and crouches to spring over it with the others.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole rights himself. 1Not cool. At all. 6He moves to leap over and follow them.
* Anyata looks at Null as she lands.
<DeathStar> 6* John straightens up; he peers over at a deflated bicycle with a bear, and a slinkee
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...That's worlds of creepy.
<Kit> 6Null peers at Anyata. 1"Yes? Why're you staring at me.."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Didn't you tell me that slinkee's were your favorite toy, Dias?
* Anyata shrugs. "Nothing, I was thinking about something." *she eyes the toys*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I did? 6He rubs the back of his neck as he thinks on that
<DeathStar> <John> Well, it is an orphanage...
<Xanatos> <Cole> Or was it those battleship things that you play with in the bathtub?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You mean yellow duckies?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Maybe that was it. I remember you going on and on and on and on an-
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses; down the hallway, the opposite way of the toys, a door creeks open
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No that was Eve I play in the bathtub wi...6He pauses as he looks down the same hallway
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and titls his head slightly, shifting his body to the right slightly to squint.
* Anyata turns about swiftly, eyeing the door.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to lead into another room, but from this angle, hard to tell what kind
<DeathStar> <John> So, Any, right, go check out that door for us
<Xanatos> <Cole> Very carefully, that is.
* Anyata nods and moves over to the door, she moves to one side of it and attempts to open it by giving it a gentle shove with her foot.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at John. 1"So should I try to find my old fighting outfit?
<DeathStar> <John> You wearing spandix is so 20 years ago
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> N-Not that outfit. 6He huffs, jerking to hide his embarrassed face
<DeathStar> 6* Inside, she could make out what appears to be a bedroom, with several beds; one of the beds has a lump in it, like someone is under the covers
* Anyata peers. "There appears to be someone in here."
<DeathStar> <John> Someone...or something?
<Kit> 6Null leans around her. 1"Looks like a lump in the bed, to me."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Anyone have a stick?
<Kit> <Null> I don't see anyone.
<Anyata> "It appears vaguely person shaped, under covers."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Should check it out then.
<Kit> <Null> Don't most people breath?
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses as the slinkee beginks to slink up behind them
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Did you hear something?
<DeathStar> <John> Question - don't slinkees move down hill, not... across surfaces?
<DeathStar> 6* John turns to slowly eye it
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and arches a brow. 1Now that's just unsettling.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to eye it also. 1"Maybe it's a reverse slinkee.
* Anyata shrugs. She turns, aiming her blaster at it. "Perhaps we should just destroy it."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Maybe you should karate chop the hell out of it?
<DeathStar> <John> How could it be a reverse slinkee?
<Kit> 6Null moves into the room while they eye the slinky, slinking over, hoho, to poke at the lump.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well if normal slinkees go down hill and this one's going straight....6He begins to go in some random techno jamble he's clearly making up to explain his theory of the reverse slinkee
<DeathStar> 6* The lump wiggles like jello
<DeathStar> <John> ... it would have to go uphill to be a reverse slinkee.
<Kit> <Null> Hehe, it wobbles!" 6She pokes again
<Anyata> "Wouldn't reverse therefore go uphill?"
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Dias, not noticing the slinkee getting 2 feet away now
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I...Did I say reverse slinkee? I meant land slinkee.
* Anyata looks at John, she frowns a little, suspecting a mind reader.
<DeathStar> 6* The lump begins to ooze out red; the red, once it hits the floor, begins to burn away at it
<Xanatos> 6* Cole reaches out to pull John back. 1I think it's coming for you, man.
<Kit> 6Null moves back to the doorway, pulls out her revolver and shoots the slinky with a blast.
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6* He climbs up Cole quickly
<DeathStar> 6* The slinkee is destroyed.
<Kit> <Null> Heeey. The lump is dissolving the floor.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Are you seriously afraid of a..AIEE! 6He leaps into Cole's arms.
<Xanatos> <Cole> H-hey, watch the hair.
* Anyata looks over at Null, then holsters her own blaster.
<Anyata> "I like you."
<Kit> <Null> I know, it's kind of creepy.
<DeathStar> 6* As the floor is eaten away, the room caves in, enough to unbalance Null at the doorway
<Kit> <Null> A-Aieee!" 6She windmills.
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...you guys mind getting do-holy shit what hapepned?
* Anyata raises a brow. "...Not in that way."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias coughs and gets down, then peers at Null
<Xanatos> 6* Cole drops Dias and holds out a hand for Null to catch.
* Anyata grabs Null and pulls her back.
<DeathStar> 6* John hops down
<DeathStar> 6* In the room below, skeleton remains can be seen, their ribs set up like spikes
<Kit> <Null> Oh, hey, thanks guys.
<Kit> <Null> That might have hurt.
<Xanatos> <Cole> The quicker we get out of this place, the better.
<DeathStar> 6* John peers in, whistling. "That's fucked up."
<Anyata> "You're welcome."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers over John's shoulder. 1"That's just all sorts of messed up.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves for the stairs now, creeping by the fucked up bike
<Anyata> "I am going to go ahead and hazard that that way is not the way we need to go. Perhaps the stairs?"
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, pointing at one skeleton. "There's something in it's eye."
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, a shiny object, like a key, can be seen
<Kit> <Null> Maybe an eye!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's shiney.
<DeathStar> <John> ... Eye think you need help.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and leans his head back. 1Glass eye?
* Anyata looks over at the skeleton. "Too shiney for a cadaver's eye."
<DeathStar> <John> Eye don't know what it can be
<DeathStar> 6* A voice clears it's throat behind them
<Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes John, jerking at the throat clearing to peer over his shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You should go down and ch-....John please tell me that was you
<Kit> 6Null peers back innocently.
<DeathStar> <Ire> ... if you are done with puns, someone get the object.
<DeathStar> <John> Eye didn't do tha.
* Anyata slowly looks over. "Eye spy with my little eye..."
<DeathStar> 6* Ire eyes Anyata, then his gun, then Anyata.
<Kit> <Null> Sorry, but they're dumb and I can't hover." 6She smiles at Ire.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole nudges Anyata. 1Go get it, quickie.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Ire then at Anyata then at John. 1"Aww, she wants to be like you." 6He leans in close. 1"Like. You."
<DeathStar> <John> Creepy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? It's what I was going for. 6He beams
* Anyata sighs and makes her way down carefully.
<Kit> <Null> You're allllways creepy.
<DeathStar> 6* Anyata would see a fall of 10 feet, and with the ribs, there doesn't seem to be a 'careful' way down
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, Any, how armored are you?
<Anyata> "Not very armored at all."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Null. 1"You don't even know my to be able to say that. 6He sniffles, crossing his arms
<Chad`Winters> NRP; me
* Anyata eyes the spikes. "My defenses are all speed based."
<DeathStar> <John> Right. 6* He peers at Cole, then shoves him, letting him land on the bones with his armor and break them.
<Kit> <Null> You hit on me yesterday-- that's creepy!
<DeathStar> <John> Land on him.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole aiees as he falls, he lays there twitching.
<Kit> 6Null smiles brightly. 1"It's okay. I like you! Like. You." 6She leans forward, her eyes overshadowed.
* Anyata nods and hops over onto Cole.
<DeathStar> <John> Creepy.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know..6He leans back a bit.
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...I'm telling Em. 6He mumbles.
<DeathStar> <John> What? Don't! ... dammit! Fine, I'll set a date up with Katrina for you
* Anyata uses Cole as a bridge to get to the object.
<Kit> <Null> Heh heh heh. You guys are fun.
<DeathStar> 6* Anyata would find a key in the skeleton. A...skeleton key.
<Anyata> "Ha ha."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-You'd give her away like that? Ooof is Chad going to be mad.
<Kit> <Null> Oh, hey, if you're handing them out, can I have a date, too?
<DeathStar> 6* Ire shifts to examine the area as they talk
<Xanatos> <Cole> No shit!? 6He peers up, getting to his feet.
* Anyata holds up the key. Then eeps as she nearly falls over with Cole shifting, grabbing onto him.
* Anyata hangs onto his back.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well...we kinda got to find her first.
<DeathStar> <John> Can you jump out?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses to teleport the two of them back up to the others.
<Anyata> "I believe either of us could simply teleport--- like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Near Cole and Anyata, one of the skeleton's jaws open, revealing a bomb. A "ha ha ha ha" "ha ha ha ha" goes off, then it explodes
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly eyes Cole at that.
<DeathStar> 6* John stumbles back as the explosion goes off, eyeing Cole who teleported in time. "Son of a bitch."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole stumbles forward. 1H-Holy shit, I'm glad I can do that.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks back, his feet shifting as he regains his balance.
<DeathStar> <John> I used to be able to do that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...You both can teleport? YET YOU WERE GOING TO JUMP DOWN?
* Anyata still hangs onto Cole, she looks back at the damage.
<Xanatos> <Cole> To bad it's only like...15 feet distance right now.
<Anyata> "I do not enjoy wasting energy."
<Kit> <Null> I can't teleport at all!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias mumbles, his arms crossing.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Pope and the others would wake up to find themselves in a hallway - on the ceiling. Everything is reversed here, and their heads are spinning
* Anyata is now known as Elayne
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad grabs his head, his feet shifting apart as he tries to keep himself standing up.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax groans, trying to adjust his optics. 1...the..hell?
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Soddin' 'ell, didn't think I drank that much...
<Elayne> "...Ugh... I feel like the first time I ever had a drink..."
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> I-It's like one of those halls of mirrors.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> I hate this place. 6He slowly tries to get to his feet.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Are we still in the orphanage?
<Elayne> "I feel like we're in a survival horror game."
* Elayne tries to pull herself up.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> I...think? 6He moves to take a step seeing if it's basically like they're upside down.
<DeathStar> 6* It does indeed seem that way
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Why are we on the cieling?
<Xanatos> <Phirax> How are we on the ceiling is my question.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> 'Why aren't we all freakin' dead' is mine.
<DeathStar> 6* A door opens up down the hallway, though on the 'ceiling' since it's the actual floor, but no longer since---well, you get it
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad shakes his head, a stubborn look on his face as he takes a step forward to get used to it all.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Guess he wants to play with us first. 1He checks for his weapons.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Guess he wants to play with us first. 6He checks for his weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* On the floor above them, the ceiling now, a set of hopscotch blocks can be seen, from 1 to 10.
<DeathStar> 6* Their weapons are there.
<Elayne> "The heck?"
<DeathStar> 6* The blocks are positioned a few feet ahead of thm, and between them and the opened door
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know this game. It's hopscotch!
<Xanatos> <Phirax> You just jump on the blocks, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Though, with the blocks on the ceiling, jumping on them would seem hard to do
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> You throw a rock or something and then skip along and then over wherever the rock lands.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> ...not sure how that would work with us on the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* As Phirax says this, a panel on the "Ceiling" opens and a rock lands on his head
<Gravedigger> <
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Hey a rock!
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax jerks and rubs his head. 1...
<Elayne> "Are you okay Phir?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad glances down at the floor then up at the ceiling
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *leans against a wall and folds his arms* "God, what a revoltin' development."
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Just trying throwing the stupid thing and see what happens.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *shouts* "This is bollocks, Ghoul, parlour games!"
<DeathStar> 6* Michiru's cries can be heard; they sound weaker now. Ghoul's voice begins to start singing the 12 days of Christmas, though he changes the items for gross things like dead birds
<Chad`Winters> Chad grabs it then quickly tosses it for the number with his gloves on it
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad grabs it then quickly throws it for number 4
<DeathStar> 6* The rock somehow sticks to the "Ceiling" on 4.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad tilts his head. 1"Cool. But now we gotta go."
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Now what? Do we boost you up to see if you stick to the floor too?
<DeathStar> <Ghoul> On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....two strangled babies and a Pope in a pear tree.
<Elayne> "Well.. I could attempt to play, it'd be wierd though." *she blinks* "Huh... should we throw Chad onto the ceiling?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad points a threatining finger at Elayne. 1"You're not throwing me!"
<Chad`Winters> 6He shifts to climb onto Phirax's back
* Elayne smiles. "I couldn't if I wanted to, I was joking Chad."
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Bugger this, I say we blow the whole damn thing to bits an' pieces.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax eyes him, or at least tries too.
<Elayne> "Somehow, I have a feeling that would hurt."
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> And if he kills Michiru because of it? 6He stands on Phirax shoulder and touches the number one cautiously
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing seems to happen
<Gravedigger> <Pope> And we 'ere wastin' our time, an' by the end of it, he'll kill 'er moments before we get there!
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad pulls his hand back and carefully shifts to hand stand on Phirax' shoulders. He puts his foot on one.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Well Pope, do something. Because we're at least trying to progess, you just stand there and shout curse words at him instead of doing anything.
<DeathStar> <Ghoul> On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, three kittens drowning, two babies strangled, and a Pope in a pear treeee.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad doesn't stick to it like Spider-man
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *shrugs* Fine, I'm doin
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad hrmpfs and hops down. 1"Hey...Maybe he wants Pope to touch one."
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *pulls out his guns and aims at the empty spots on the hopscotch board*
<Xanatos> <Phirax> He wants Pope, period. 6He notes.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Ain't just me, luv, 'e wants a pile o' corpses out of this deal.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *stats firing on the board*
* Elayne shivers a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* As Pope shoots the board, the floor they're on rumbles, and spikes shoot up; each lined up with the 10 spots above.
* Elayne hops back a little in surprsie, staring at the spikes. "The hell!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad quickly leaps onto Phirax' bac
<Gravedigger> <Pope> ...'Es been a busy lil' beaver.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax frowns. 1Well...6He tries to maneuver between the spikes, moving towards the door that's ont eh ceiling.
<DeathStar> <Ghoul> Naughty, naughty, not playing the game right. -1 point. 6* A girl's scream is heard
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad jerks at the scream. 1"Michiru!
<Elayne> "Michi..."
<DeathStar> 6* Ghoul then goes back to singing, on the fourth day now.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> 'E won't kill her! Yet.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> I don't care. I don't want her to harmed at all!
<Elayne> "You're NOT risking her."
<DeathStar> 6* Phirax reaches the door; it seems like he'll have to hop up to reach it, since it doesn't quite go to the floor they're on
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Either climb up Chad or let me.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad climbs up onto his shoulder and carefully opens the door, ducking down whe nhe swings it open
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Then where in the 'ell were you when she were grabbed, mate?! 'Ate to break it to you, but Ghoul's gonna do what he wants to 'er until we get the 'ell outta 'ere, and playin' these stupid-arse games ain't gettin' us there fast enough to stop 'im!
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens
* Elayne makes her way across after the two. "He's already there. You are not risking Michiru."
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad shifts to climb through
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax motions Dias to move on up. 1Until you do something to contribute Elayne, I don't see how you have any room to talk. You're just as afraid of all this as that girl probably is, I can see it in your eyes. 6He shift sto climb up after Chad.
<Xanatos> NRP: Er Chad.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> We're riskin' 'er more playin' 'is rules. You don't know this freak like I do.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad climbs up, and appears in a new area that's on it's...side. However, this area seems larger, as the walls are missing in places, revealing what appears to be a courtyard in the center, and the Orphanage around said courtyard in square. The ceiling is missing, which would actually be a wall due to the side-ways nature, and rain pours in at places. Standing in the courtyard is a large Ghoul, who is singing and spinning around
* Elayne slowly calms a bit. "That child is important to me, I'm not saying more."
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Holy shit...
<DeathStar> 6* He seems to be peeking into the hallways where the walls are missing; from where they are, they'll have to travel the square to the other side, most likely, since there's no exits here
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Good, then you can sod off.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> I think my optics are broken.
<DeathStar> <Ghoul> On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to meeee...
* Elayne frowns at Pope. "You first."
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> I...think we have to go that way. 6He motions
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them, the way they came no longer seems to exist. If this is reality, there's something horriblely wrong
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax glances for a place of cover in front of them that Ghoul might now see.
<Xanatos> NRp; not
* Elayne looks back, she frowns, rubbing her head. "This doesn't add up at all. Does this guy have some sort of illusion power?"
<DeathStar> 6* As Elayne rubs her head, her hand begins to ache
* Elayne blinks and looks at her hand. "What the..."
<DeathStar> 6* There's plenty of places they can hide behind the walls. It seems there's a space every few meters
<DeathStar> 6* Her hand looks normal, but her pinky feels numb
<Elayne> "I... I can't feel my pinky..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad slaps his face and squats, then sprints out for the first cover area when Ghoul isn't looking
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax tenses and moves up to the first place, trying to get an idea of where Ghoul is.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> No. So 'es gotta be usin' an outside source. Hallucinogens or soemthin'.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Shite, the gas!
<DeathStar> 6* Ghoul turns as the two move, not catching them. He leans in, his face right behind the wall. "Did I see some prey?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad presses against it, staying still
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax kneels and sticks close to the wall, holding up a finger over his lips to Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Ghoul dangles a bloody Michiru over the wall. He shakes her body about.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad jerks, anger forming on his face
* Elayne shakes her hand, then looks over, slowly going pale.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> ... 6He makes a disgusted face.
<DeathStar> 6* Ghoul keeps shaking it about, then getting no reaction, puts her away, turning his back again to scan about
<DeathStar> <Ghoul> On the eighth day of Christmas... 6* Elayne would feel another finger go numb
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *moves away from the group, reloading his guns as he goes*
<Elayne> "Wh-What the hell...?"
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax nods to Chad and moves for the second place.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad breathes heavilly and he sprints for the second place now
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Team John
* Elayne is now known as Anyata
<DeathStar> 6* John moves up the second set of stairs, peeking about the third floor; he points at hopscotch blocks on the floor. And bullet holes in them
<DeathStar> <John> Creeepy
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Somebody must really hate hopscotch
<Xanatos> <Cole> You think the other guys did this, like that hole back there?
* Gravedigger comes up behind the group. "Christ, what the hell is going on?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> I remember hearing that Elayne lost the national hopscotch championship when she was growing up, I bet she did this.
<DeathStar> 6* A girl's scream echos from nearby; it doesn't sound quite like Michiru
<Anyata> "Mmm... perhaps, we should move on. I want to be done with this."
<DeathStar> 6* Ire peers at Grave. "I was hoping you could---
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and tilts his head up slightly. 1Who the?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias raises a brow at that. 1"You hear that?
<DeathStar> <Ire> Up ahead. Female.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire moves along past the hopscotch and down the hallway
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves after Ire
<Kit> <Null> Not the same as before though, anyone catch that?
<Xanatos> <Cole> But that wasn't Michi I don't think. 6he moves after Ire.
* Anyata follows after them.
<Kit> <Null> Oh cool, I'm not insane!
<Gravedigger> The others came up here, the stairs gave way, and I got stuck downstairs. I lost track of the others, then heard some noises, guess it was you guys.
<DeathStar> 6* As they move, they can hear singing. The ninth day of Christmas. Something about 9 virgins being raped, 8 pipers having organs plucked
<DeathStar> <Ire> Something must have happened to them while you were separated.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire stops at a door where the sounds seem to be coming from; he reaches out to try the door
<DeathStar> <Ire> Locked.
<Kit> <Null> What an awful song..!
<Anyata> "Someone has poor taste."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...We could try to bust it open
<Xanatos> <Cole> I'm good at breaking things.
<Kit> 6Null aims her gun at the handle.
<DeathStar> <John> Didn't we find a key?
* Anyata holds up the key. "Right here."
<Kit> <Null> ..." 6She jerks, looking sheepish and smiling.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Right, the key!
* Anyata passes it to Ire.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire passes it to Dias
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slumps at not being able to break something.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias goes to pass it infront of them sighs as he's in the lead. 1"Aw man."
<DeathStar> <John> Looks like he finds you expendable
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Stupid...6He grumbles as he uses it to unlock the door
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: ???
<DeathStar> 6* After having dodged Ghoul for a while, and nearing the other side, the group is met by---many Ghouls entering the hallway; one looks incrediblely dumb, peering about wildly
<DeathStar> 6* One of the Ghouls points at them, and the others all turn to eye them with their maniacal looks
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax frowns and eyes the ghouls. 1Now what?
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad jerks to a stop. 1"...I..We fight them!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Ghouls begin to advance
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax pulls out his pistol and holds it forward to aim at them. 1I think my gunfire might attract the bigger one.
<Anyata> * Elayne stares a little, holding her hand as she frowns, she pulls out her staff and extends it.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Guns are for sissies. 6He smacks his hands together and shifts into his fighting stance.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ghouls pause at Phirax, then begin to move apart.
<DeathStar> <Ghoul> On the 10th day of Christmas...
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Then this sissy's got a double dose. *starts firing both his guns at the Ghouls*
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad kicks off and dashes in at one of them.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Ire's Group
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens up and the team can see a room splattered with blood and stuff; at the far end, they can see Elayne strapped to a chair, and some doctor, looking drugged, cutting her fingers off one by one; the rest of the team is standing there, looking all drugged.
<DeathStar> 6* John points. "It's them."
<Anyata> "What the hell are they doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* As John points, the others turn to face them, and begin to talk about fighting them; Phirax aims a gun
<DeathStar> <Ire> ... about to attack us it seems.
<Chad`Winters> Dias peers around incredibly dumb for a moment then points at Chad. 1"It's Chad!"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and makes a face. 1...shit that's a messed up scene. 6He frowns and steps aside slightly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers around incredibly dumb for a moment then points at Chad. 1"It's Chad!"
<Kit> 6Null shoves to get forward and steps in front of John
* Gravedigger pulls out his shovel. "Dibs on the malpractice suit."
<DeathStar> 6* Ire steps away from the others, trying to get distance.
<Anyata> "Disable right? Not kill?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts to the side to stay out of the aim of the gun
<DeathStar> 6* Pope calls them sissies and begins to open fire at them with boy guns
<DeathStar> <John> Shit! Shit shit shit!
<Gravedigger> HOLY!
* Gravedigger drops to the ground
<Xanatos> 6* Cole looks at Anyata like she's stupid before jerking and trying to avoid getting shot.
<Kit> 6Null makes faces, attempting to shield John and whomever's behind him
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Holy shit! 6He rolls to the side
<DeathStar> 6* Ire rolls to the side
<DeathStar> 6* John flails his arms. "Stop shooting, it's us!"
<Kit> <Null> Ahahaha! Stop! That tickles! Ahaha! Aiee!
<DeathStar> <Ire> Take them down; we'll sort this out later. 6* He fires stun shots at Phirax
<Xanatos> <Cole> Stun them or something. Hit them with a rock I don't care! 6He jerks to jump and hide behind Null.
* Anyata shifts to one side swiftly then ducks low, getting ready to charge one. "It'd be more efficient to just take them down and deal with them after."
* Gravedigger moves towards the docotor, keeping his head low
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Null then shifts behind and picks her up as a battering ram. He charges at Pope
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor cuts another finger off Elayne, causing her to scream.
<Kit> <Null> H-Hey! I can't shield people if you're carrrying meeee~ Ahhh!'
<Anyata> * Elayne keeps babbling about not being able to feel her fingers.
* Gravedigger swings his shovel at the doctor
<DeathStar> 6* John rushes in and punches Chad in the face
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor is hit and falls over. He keeps making cutting motions, even on the ground
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks to run forward, when Phirax, who's doing his best to dodge Ire's fire, clips him in the shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad's head snaps back and his knee comes flying for John's chin
* Anyata rushes in and attempts to punch Phirax.
<DeathStar> 6* John's head snaps back and he falls bac. He pauses, then does his famous John pose, that Chad should recognize
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax is knocked back, stumbling he fires at Anyata.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad stumbles back then pauses as he eyes the ghoul in that pose. 1"J-John?"
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: ???
<DeathStar> 6* As the team fights, a Ghoul after getting hit by Chad, suddenly does a peace pose, thrusting his crotch forward.
<DeathStar> 6* One Ghoul hits Elayne in the face with a shovel. A shovel
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> J-John?
<DeathStar> 6* The Ghoul does a thumbs up
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax stumbles back from getting punched, his free hand going to his lip as he lifts up his pistol for the head of his attacking Ghoul. 6He pauses at that and glances to Chad. 1Say what?
<Anyata> Elayne> "O-Ow!! What the hell... G-Grave?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad steps back, a look of confusion in his face. 1"I-It's doing John's super secret pose..."
<Kit> 6One ghoul flails, crying as used like a battering ram.
<DeathStar> 6* After a moment, the drugged team would find themslves back in reality; Elayne strapped to a table with Grave nearby
<DeathStar> <Ire> ... are they back to normal?
<Xanatos> <Phirax> ... 6He frowns at aiming at Anyata's head. 1...I think we're okay now.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> JOHN!....DAD!! 6He runs over to him, who jerks and drops Null.
<Kit> <Null> P-Put me down, this is extra creepy!
<DeathStar> <Ghoul's voice> And on the 12 day of Christmas my true love gave to me.... 6* And he stops; there's a door on the far end of this room
<Xanatos> <Cole> You fucking shot me in the arm, you son of a bitch!
<Anyata> * Elayne blinks a little, shaking her head and looking around. "What's going on... why..."
<Kit> <Null> O-Ow!
<DeathStar> 6* Ire lowers the gun.
<Kit> <Null> Meanie-- good thing I have a helmet..
<DeathStar> <Ire> He was trying to get us to kill each other
* Anyata peers at Phirax, her hand out as though she was holding a sword, she steps back, relaxing.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Guh...*rubs his head* Jesus, thought so...
<Anyata> Elayne> "...Why can't I feel my fingers still?" *she tries to get a look*
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax moves to eye Elayne's hand. 1You don't have any...
<DeathStar> 6* John winces at Elayne's hand
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad leaps onto his dad who stumbles back as he catches him. 1"I was worried about you, your'e safe tho." 6Chad starts rambling off what all happened in a fast pace
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves towards the foor on the far end.
<Gravedigger> Jesus, Elayne, your hand..
<Anyata> * Elayne looks in shock as she struggles. "Wh-What...?"
<DeathStar> 6* John moves forward to the last door, trying to open it. He doesn't notice the string, and as he begins to open it, an axe comes in for his face
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax shifts to cut Elayne looks, ripping his shirt slightly to wrap around the wound.
<Kit> <Null> Hey, Elayne, your hand!" 6She says from the floor, just to chime in.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks to try and pull John to safety.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' eyes go wide. 1"JOHN MOVE!
<DeathStar> 6* John's pulled back, the axe cutting his face slightly as he's pulled back. He stares at the axe
<Gravedigger> Phir, get her out of here, get her to a hospital!
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad jerks to look at John, he then looks at his dad. 1"YOU WEREN'T EVEN LISTENING!"
<DeathStar> 6* In the next room, the bloodied remains of Michiru can be seen, just having died moments ago on the 12th day. John stares
<Xanatos> <Cole> Hey we're both wounded. Isn't that cute?
<Anyata> * Elayne looks down at her hand quietly, like she's lost it completely. "C-Cut them off..."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks, 1Oh god John I...
<DeathStar> 6* Ire moves in with his gun, sweeping the area, eyeing an open window. He moves to it, peering out into the rain storm
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *cocks his guns and moves in after Ire*
<DeathStar> <Ire> He's gone.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Not for long.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax frowns and makes sure to put Elayne's arm around his shoulder. 1Let's get her to a hospital. Someone grab her fingers.
<Kit> 6Null gets to her feet, moving slowly for the next room. Upon eyeing the fore she pauses, sort of snapping into a morbid gaze, frozen.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Shit...Not now Chad...infact, you stay right here and don't move at all. <Chad> Bu- 6Dias eyes him and he shuts up, hanging his head a bit. Dias quickly moves for John, his hand moving for his shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* John gets to his feet, moving over to the body. He stares at it, his face a mixture of pain and rage. He falls to his knees, touching her arm
* Anyata peers forward, she stares slowly and clenches her fists. She moves in, moving for the window. "Can't have gotten far."
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *moves over the window sill, starting to climb out*
<Xanatos> <Cole> ... 6He moves over to puts his arm on his other shoulder.
<Gravedigger> John..
<DeathStar> <John> ... Michi...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> John...I'm sorry.
<Kit> 6Null staggers back after a moment, shaking her head, then puts her hands to her face and cries out, falling back to sitting. 1"N- ...NoooOOooo!"
<Anyata> Elayne> "Michi...? Where's Michi..." *she moves with Phirax, but seems out of it*
<DeathStar> 6* John just nods once at them all, then puts his hands to his face
<DeathStar> 6* Pope would be met by cold, ice rain as he steps out.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax doesn't say anything, moving to get Elayne back downstairs.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *carefully drops out of the window to the ground below, moving out into the rain*
* Anyata looks out the window and teleports down, looking around.
<Kit> 6Null leaps to her feet, dashing through the room and leaps out the window, soaring to land with a loud thud, then just takes off running.
<DeathStar> 6* The only thing left for them to find is a sled, with a dead body of some homeless guy with a Santa hat. He has a paper saying "See you next Holiday."
* Chad`Winters puts an arm around John, hugging him.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
* Anyata looks back and forth, straining to see through the rain. "I will end that monster."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slowly stands. 1We'll find that bastard and we'll make him pay, John.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods, not having the energy to make some revenge speech. He just peers at the mutaliated body once more.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *walks off*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Hunter Station
<DeathStar> 6* Wind eyes the book, then squints at a passage that appears.
<Kit> <Megumi> Something new? Seem anxious.
* Gravedigger is now known as Wiendigo
<DeathStar> 6* The passage says those reading the book are attacked by some unknown force, and the book stolen. Wind pauses, turning to eye the others, when there's a bright flash; when it clears, everyone would be on the ground, and the chronometer indicates 15 minutes have passed. A small reality vortex is there as well, closing off.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind strains to get up, looking around for the book. Iceheart is in a sitting position against the wall, opening her eyes
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Did something happen?
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... 6* He gets to his feet, spinning around, then pounding a desk with his fist. "It's gone."
<Kit> 6Megumi, who still has her eyes closed, tilts her head. 1"Feel like... mind wandered."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator steps in. "The station was just hit by something; all the systems went down for 15 minutes."
* Wiendigo walks in behind Dom, holding a bottle of Jack Daniels; mostly gone. "What'd I miss?"
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts toward Dominator, then squeezes her bear-- 1"Confirmed. Zephyr offline nine hundred seconds."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator sighs at Wiendigo, mostly.
<DeathStar> <Wind> We need to tell the others - find out what's happening. Then see if we can figure out who took the book.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart gets to her feet. "Looks like you missed Wind losing the book."
<Kit> <Megumi> Shall I contact them, Wind?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Go ahead. We need them back here; the book takes priority now.
* Wiendigo belches. "How unoriginal."
<Kit> 6Megumi nods, holding her bear to herself again, rubbing her cheek on it-- elsewhere Cole's comm would be contacted.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Prime Reality
<DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
<DeathStar> Stardate: Shortly Thereafter
<DeathStar> 6* The team, having gotten back to the Executive Building, has set it up so their wounded is getting treated, while those still able bodied meet up with Kane and Darien in the command room under the building
* Anyata is now known as Sullivan
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits on one of the medical beds, despite not having injuries, she's remained catatonic since bashing Dias' head in.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So what's the plan now? 6* She asks Kane.
<Kit> 6Chii sits in with Katrina, resting her head on one of her hands.
* Sullivan sits back in his seat, arms crossed, in a fresh shirt, the other one having gotten all bloody.
<Xanatos> <Kane> The ice weapons seems to succeed in stopping them for now, but I don't believe that will stop them. I've been trying to find the source of all of this.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis sits in the command room. "We need to find my children and the other me."
<Kit> <Megumi> Easier said..
* Ariel stands with her arms crossed. She's unsettled by this enemy. It never sits well with her to fight former allies.
<DeathStar> <John> Do you think we could use Raquel to trace them?
<Xanatos> <Kane> It's possible we may not have to. If we know the 'zombie' well enough, perhaps we can predict where they were taken?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I doubt that would help us find X, or Zombie Warren
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. Yes I believe you're right, I was more refferring to Megumi's family.
<Kit> 6Key stumbles inward. 1"Key find X! Keep recalling!"
* Sullivan scratches his chin. "Well what're you thinkin sir?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his fingers. "Well, we can't predict Fi well enough, nor the person who took Athena and Jennifer."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> If the zombie me is anything like...well me. It should be simple enough.
<DeathStar> 6* John gets up. "Key, your foot needs healing."
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> And where would 'zombie you' go?
<Kit> <Key> Key believe it healed!" 6She says stubbornly, having slipped out of her room when sedatives wore off.
* Sullivan looks over at Key, frowning a little.
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm afraid I'm all but useless in detecting these ...things. They have no spirit energy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy paces the hallways, while Iceheart quietly peers into the medical area at Katrina
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Erevis and I lived together in a few spots at one point, it's possible one of them. And with the PAX not being around, it really just leaves 2 places.
<Kit> 6Chii murmurs without looking up. 1"Iceheart?"
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> You should talk to her. 6He takes a sip of a flask
<DeathStar> <Darien> What two places?
<Sullivan> "Well, any lead is a start."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We lived in an apartment together for a month or two and then we lived together in that house you set us up in whenever we were on your team.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I wouldn't know what to say.
<Kit> 6Elwyn mumbles behind Iceheart, looking severely annoyed and sleepless.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That was a long time ago for me. I couldn't say I remember the location
<Kit> <Chii> She's not awake-- say whatever you like.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Well. 6He offers her the flask. 1"You could ask if there's anything you can do to help."
<Xanatos> <Kane> In either event, weren't those places in Mega City? Do do not even know if they were rebuilt, correct?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well I know the places, you could check on your fancy datapad.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ...
<Kit> 6Elwyn pushes Iceheart into the room with her good hand, the other bandaged and in a sling.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs her fingers through her hair
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart is pushed in, turning to eye Elwyn, then Katrina. She moves to sit beside her. "Sorry for your loss."
<Kit> 6Chii groans. 1"Way to go, Iceheart-- sound like a funeral director.
* Sullivan rubs his temple a little.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ...
<Xanatos> <Cole> We could unthaw Raquel's head, plug into her brain or something and try to get a mental 'image' of where Warren and the others are, right?
<Kit> <Elwyn> Can it, auntie. Sometimes just being there's better than nothing.
* Wiendigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm not sure if we can plug into her brain
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki takes a pull at all this talk.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Any of you seen Billy?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oh. It works on Reploids. 6He gives a half shrug.
<Ariel> "Would be easier if we had a zombie robot."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions at Xanatos to get him the locations
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> She was wandering the hallways.
<Kit> <Megumi> The last image before death is theoretically etched into the retina.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos reads out the address location first, then the house that Darien had them in, probably remembering them fondly.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Then that would be Ripple holding her heart in her hands.
<Xanatos> NRP: his
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the datapad.
<Kit> <Elwyn> A direction would help... I was already roaming..
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki shrugs helplessly
<Sullivan> "Bloody hell..."
<Kit> <Megumi> She was kidnapped first, correct? Perhaps you would get a location in the background.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Anyone heard from Paladin?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She was killed in the park
<DeathStar> <Darien> They eliminated Fiore and are their way back here.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek opens his mouth and frowns, eyeing the floor.
* Gravedigger has joined #taw
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Eliminated?
<Kit> 6Megumi stares. 1"I thought we were ... preserving them in case of a cure?
<Xanatos> <Kane> That were not aware about the method of freezing.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They didn't have ice weapons
<Kit> <Megumi> Cute. Now if we do cure anyone, I am sure that will do wonders for the crazy boy's mentality.
<Sullivan> "Question... some of these people, they've been dead a long time right?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> While you guys work on the Raquel thing, some of us should go check on those locations, if they ping back anything that is.
<Sullivan> "How the heck do they look like they're fresh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Illusions, probably.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I imagine he should have stayed and dealt with her if she was that important to him.
<Kit> <Megumi> They have regenerated wounds besides severed heads.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at Kane. 1"...You-- should not do any public speaking."
<Sullivan> "Huh... well it makes sense."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes his search. "There's been new places built in the area of your house, yes."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> But if you want a direction. 6He scratches the back of his head then points down a random way
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'm simply speaking the truth. 6He glances to Darien and nods to Xanatos. 1We will attempt a way to figure out a way for Raquel to get a lead for us. You should take people to search that area.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gets to his feet and glances to Megumi. 1You ready?
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis rises as well
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pushes himself to his feet, cracking his neck slightly. 1Take care of Zeph till I get back. 6he tells Cheryl.
<Kit> <Megumi> No, there is no truth in emotion. You are speaking logically without any consideration for perspective. You would slit the throat of any empathic sympathiser. But to put it how you understand-- political suicide in human politics.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once.
<Xanatos> <Kane> It is lucky I am speaking amongst my trusted peers then.
<Kit> <Megumi> No, you are not.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll go down to the lab and see about Raquel.
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head. 1"You are not peer of mine-- and I am a friend of Eve Summers."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to step out
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Megumi, let's go. 6He turns and steps out.
* Sullivan rubs his face. "Is this really helping?"
<Kit> <Megumi> So my point is-- think before speaking." 6She moves after Xanatos.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane just watches her walk out and then glances to Cheryl. 1Is your team alright?
<DeathStar> 6* A well busted nurse moves into check on Katrina. "I need to check the patient." 6* She motions them to go
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We've been better.
* Ariel glances to Darien, but decides to stay with the team. "I'd be worried, if that wasn't so."
* Sullivan just nods to that.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes, I imagine so. I must I admit this has me on edge.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Will you come aid us, Ariel
<Kit> <Chii> I don't want to leave her. She's not physically injured, there's no risk of infection.
* Ariel nods, "Staying here won't accomplish any good."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sorry you thought I went evil and stole your woman. 6He puts his arm around Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* The nurse eyes Chii; ICeheart stands up without even look at the nurse, taking this moment to excuse herself, glad for the excuse.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki checks out the well busted nurses bust
<DeathStar> 6* Loki would recognize that bust
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis follows after Xanatos and Megumi; the camera leaves them for now t ofocus on those still in the building
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki' eyes go wide after a moment. He grabs Iceheart. 1"Look at her chest."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his shoulder slightly and then pats Ariel as he moves after FE.
<Kit> 6Chii sits up, peering over. 1"There's no problem, right? My wife's a general, but I don't want to act spoiled..."
<Chad`Winters> <Nurse> Well you are actiing spoiled. So leave before I have you escorted out.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes Loki, then looks over blankly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki sighs and grabs her chin to focus it on her bust.
* Ariel sticks with FE, fiddling with the clasp on her sheath.
<Kit> 6Chii scowls at the nurse. 1"I'm not leaving."
* Sullivan frowns a bit. "I've been in some tough spots, but never seen this much death all at once time. Nothin here is right."
<Chad`Winters> 6The Nurse sighs and she reaches her hand out to grab Chii's shoulder
<Kit> 6Chii shifts. 1"Don't touch me. I'm not in the mood."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's eyes fltuter open, and she eyes the nurse. "Shiva..?"
<Kit> 6Chii's eyes widen, and she backflips over her chair, kicking it at the nurse.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I'm going to go take some time alone. Let me know when you need me. 6He tells CHeryl, stepping out.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart pauses, then jerks
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl simply nods
<Chad`Winters> <Nurse> Either am I. 6She notes, a danger in her tone that disappears quickly as she looks over at Katrina. 1"Yeah, it's me bab-" 6She's hit by the chair and stumbles back
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I KNEW IW!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: it
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But--- 6* She looks confused. "How can you--?"
* Sullivan looks over at Cheryl, "You need anything Boss?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm fine.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> It's a long story but I'm here now. 6She shifts to stand up
<Kit> 6Chii grabs one of the containers of wooden depressors and starts flinging them at Shiva-- reaching for the sealed syringes, holding them like kunai in her fingers.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to follow Darien. "I'll go supervise Raquel."
<Kit> <Chii> Get away from her!!" 6She snarls.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki looks at Iceheart. 1"You don't know anything about this do you?"
<Xanatos> <Kane> Good luck. I'll check on the ice gun process, as we'll need more.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> She must be back like the others.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva puts her hand up as they hit her.
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head, peering at Key.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits up. "Chii, it's Shiva, why are you attacking her?"
<Kit> <Key> Keep. Trying." 6She looks frustrated.
<Kit> <Chii> Shiva died, Kat!
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> So do you attack her then?
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs her back. "Lets go get some air and try there."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yes, but I'm back now. It's really me, Kat.
* Sullivan looks around, then gets up as he realizes he's alone with Kane. "I ummm... I'm gonna get some air, Mr. President."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Chii, stop!
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> What? I'm not going to attack her. Or anyone.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once, peering over his datapad.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ... 6* She moves to get a comm for security when the lights go out
<Kit> <Chii> I won't let her have you! THEY CAN'T HAVE YOU, TOO!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers around in the dark
* Sullivan steps out, rubbing the back of his head and sighing as he moves down the hall. He stops and frowns. "That's not good."
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki grabs onto Iceheart
<Kit> 6Elwyn stumbles in the darkness. 1"What now..."
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses as emergency doors begin to close, sealing him and Key in a section of the hallway. Kane's office is locked up as well, to protect him
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> .... goddammit.
* Sullivan moves back into the conference room and shuts the door. "Any other ways in sir?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks to peer up slightly, hitting a button. 1Security, what is going on?
<Kit> <Key> What happen!?
<DeathStar> 6* Sullivan would find the conference room door locked.
<DeathStar> 6* John rams against the emergency doors. "We're locked in."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva shifts over to Kat, leaning in close to her. 1"Come with me Kat, it's not safe here anymore."
<Kit> 6Chii slides over, kicking the vitals monitors over toward where Shiva was, since they should have a battery back up and provide a little light
* Sullivan frowns and shakes his head, pulling out his gun and leaning back against it, looking back and forth. "Fucking A."
<DeathStar> 6* Cole would find himself locked out of the building now; outside the executive building, the undead gather around the building
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... do you know where Marcus is?
<Kit> 6Chii then lunges forward, using the IV pole and thrusts its feet at Shiva to try and push her back against the wall
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yes. 6She shifts, using Kat as protection, her hand gently sliding under his chin
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, eyeing the machines keeping Raquel frozen turn off. He eyes Cheryl, then Raquel's frozen body
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers towards the dead bodies and tightens his fist, he hits his comm. 1Cheryl. Do you read me?
* Gravedigger is now known as X1
<DeathStar> 6* Cole's comm statics.
<Kit> 6Chii quickly forms a seal, and sends a surge of water in front of her at the two. 1"Kat!! Don't!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks at being used as protection. She seems to be thinking hard what to do; Iceheart suddenly dives in at Shiva to tackle her away from Kat
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well shit. Buddy, this is going to be one hell of a fight.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Dooooot! 6* He runs away
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva puts her lips close to Kat's ear. 1"I'll bring you to him, safe and sou-" 6She's hit by Iceheart.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki whistles at that
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...fine but you ran away first. So I'm not the chicken here. 6he moves off after him.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, then moves toward the two. 1"Iceheart move!" 6She winds the pole over her head, murder in her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> There's only room for one ice bitch here. 6* She tells Shiva, trying to use her device to overload and freeze Shiva's head
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Hit her with water, now!
<Xanatos> 6* Kane hits the button again. 1Security!?
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva hands wrap onto Icehearts wrists tightly, pulling her in close
<DeathStar> 6* A voice answers Kane. "Security's dead."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Who is this?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Have you forgotten why Odin favored me over everyone else, already?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Because you spread your legs for him.
<DeathStar> 6* Kane gets static.
<Kit> 6Chii skips on the water technique, probably having foreseen Shiva doing that-- waiting for the moment of the device with the pole readied
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva snaps her head forward for Icehearts head.
<Kit> 6Chii slams the pole down, to try and keep her from contacting
<Xanatos> 6* Kane tchs and gets to his feet, moving to the wall, hitting a button to reveal a console, attemping to take control of the base system.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva's hit, apparently having been focused on Iceheart
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart shakes the device off now as it overloads, and tries to get free
<Kit> 6Chii abandons her weapon to grab Iceheart and throw herself back, pulling
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets to her feet, staring. "No! I need her--"
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva grabs onto the pole and she holds her hand out for Kat, moving for her
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Help me!
* Sullivan knocks on the door, "If you can hear me sir, let me know you're okay." *he then peers back and forth down the hallway some more*
<Kit> <Chii> DON'T TOUCH HER, YOU ABOMINATION!
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart steps back as the device begins to freeze Shiva's head. Katrina tries to rush to Shiva now
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Katrina, don't be stupid--
<Kit> <Chii> Marcus went to save YOU, Kat!
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'm fine. 6he yells out to Sullivan.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And Marcus is dead now!
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva stumbles as the cold begins to affect her brain, her eyes staring at Kat and his hand reached out for her as she begins to fall to a her knee
<Kit> <Chii> And if you throw it away, then what is it you taught me?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina clenches her fists, her face torn in pain. She waits and then kneels, taking Shiva's head after the freezing finishes, leaving Shiva rendered immobile
<Sullivan> "Well then, one less thing to worry over."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I can't .... 6* She begins to cry now, bringing the hand to her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart rubs her face. "This place isn't safe anymore, Loki."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane attempts to get video footage of the building.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Really? What was the first clue?
<Kit> 6Chii brings up her comm, channeling Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Kane succeeds finally; he'd see the zombies outside
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns at that, then works on getting communications on next.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's comm statics. At that moment, Kane manages to bring communication up.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I kinda glances down the hallways. Seems clearish
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Then go first.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane hits a button. 1All personnel, we have be comprimised, the building is surrounded.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Are you kidding me?
<Kit> 6Chii would try using the bond if she couldn't comm, letting Cheryl know they have one 'intact'
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart goes to say something to Loki when there's a noise down the hallway
<Xanatos> 6* Kane now moves on to restoring power to the lab areas where Raquel is being stored, hoping it's not too late.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> As an ambassador, I'm far too precious to...6He gulps and slowly peers down the hallway
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Katrina, then moves to the door, peering around for a crash cart.
<DeathStar> 6* When Kane gets power, he'd see Raquel is half-unthawed, and staring at Darien and Cheryl
<Xanatos> 6* Kane clicks the button for Darien's comm. 1Are you unharmed?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls up his comm. Cheryl talks to Raquel. <Cheryl> Raquel. Where are the others like you? Give us a location.
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> I don't know for how long.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would see one; at that moment, the door opens and undead guards lumber in
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes them, then steps behind Loki
<Ariel> Raquel> "W-why would I want to tell you... you just... want to hurt them..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you tell me, I'll tell you where Lilith is at.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki gulps then jerks to look back at ICeheart. 1"H-Hey!"
<Xanatos> <Kane> We're in a bad situation, I'm going to attempt to open a way for the others to get to you.
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Hurry.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane works on tracking everyone's locations, so that he can route them to Darien and Cheryl.
* Sullivan tightens his hand on his gun, continuing to guard Kane's door for now.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Be a man and defend us.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know we have her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki sighs and reaches around Icehearts body for her gun
<DeathStar> 6* The zombie guard lunges at Loki
<Kit> 6Chii emotionlessly wheels the cart back to their room, then pulls out the defibulators, rubbing them together and setting them down. She forms a seal, hurtling water at the guards, then peers at them coldly. 1"Suiton. ...Clear." 6She tosses the defibulators down into the water-- sending current.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...why... should I... t-trust you?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm your General, aren't I?
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki jerks the gun from her and fires it accdidentally at the guard as he lunges at him
<Xanatos> 6* Kane works on finding the wounded first, to make sure they're okay.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards get shocked, and Loki shoots his into th epath. Iceheart watches them get fried.
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses as Kane manages to open their door.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Oh god....I killed it.
<Kit> <Chii> Don't worry. I may be a housewife-- but I'm still a ninja.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> An effective trait.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> So this is what it feels like to take the life of someone...thing.
<Kit> 6Elwyn meanwhile, makes a hurried walk through the halls. 1"Billy! Where are you!?"
<Kit> <Chii> It was already dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy steps into Elwyn.
<Kit> 6Chii pats Loki. 1"No, you're still a gutless virgin."
<Xanatos> <Kane to John> We need to work to get the wounded out while Cheryl and Darien work on getting information.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his comm. "Right."
<Kit> <Elwyn> Billy! Thank god!
<Ariel> Raquel> "...let me go free, and I'll tell you."
<DeathStar> <Billy> There's undead here.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Yeah... I know.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> You swarmy little...
* Sullivan taps his comm, "Where do you want me sir?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane clicks something then works to open a path for Peter to get to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I need the location first. A sign of faith. You know me. I think they can help me find X, and you know that's been my top priority since Day 1.
<Kit> <Chii> I may be little, but I can kick your ass. See? Little girl-- kick your ass. Want to try me? It might hurt your reputation.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> So running away sounds good right now. Anyone know the way?
<Kit> <Chii> Run to where? We're surrounded.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves Key toward the hospital.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I might enjoy it Chii.
* Sullivan takes the path as it opens, moving along toward Cheryl.
<Ariel> Raquel> "Let... me free. I'll... give you the location. You... take me to Lilith."
<Xanatos> <Kane to Peter> Do not do anything hasty, she is amidst negotiations with Raquel.
<Kit> <Elwyn> What should we do?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl considers, nodding. She moves over to open the device.
<Sullivan> "No problem sir."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Well high ground tends to be the safest
<Xanatos> <Kane to Chii and Friends> I'm working on opening a way to Cheryl for you, she will lead you.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fuu. Interrogate one to find the rest?
<Kit> <Chii> High ground-- you mean the roof, with now way off it and stairs of zombies walking up?
<Kit> <Elwyn> Why would they tell us?
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> ...Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves to help up Katrina, who's gone quiet again
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm sure some haven't had sex in years. You could...
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes a moment to get responce from her limbs once she dethaws. She holds out a hand, "...datapad."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Hey, the voice of a not so angel.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Hell no. Ew. ...God, ew." 6She shivers.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl unhooks the datapad, holding it out
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm sure we can find a female one.

<Chad`Winters`> 6Loki follows after Iceheart.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes the datapad and enters the coordinates. She holds it out to Cheryl, "...may I... see Lilith now?"
<DeathStar> <John> You could always do me. 6* He tells Elwyn, stepping up
<Kit[Offstillhurting]> <Chii> Katrina, don't you dare do anything to risk yourself. You're not allowed.
<Kit[Offstillhurting]> <Elwyn> Hell no. Ew. ...God, ew." 6She shivers. 1"Thanks a lot Billy. Totally turned off, now."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is silent, being uspported by Iceheart right now
* Kit[Offstillhurting] is now known as Kit
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses after getting everyone a path to get to Cheryl and then looks for Cole now.
<Kit> <Chii> You're my fucking godmother, Kat. And I want to see your kid with her mother.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl checks the datapad, sending a message to Kane to have Sullivan hit Raquel with an ice gun. "Yeah, just let me make sure this is a legit place."
* X1 has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
<Xanatos> 6* Kane sends the order to Sullivan's datapad.
* Sullivan looks it over and makes a stop to collect an ice gun before proceeding to Cheryl's location.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Cheryl, "I showed some trust in you."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over with a datapad to show Raquel a camera feed of Lilith to keep Raquel distracted.
<Chad`Winters`> 6Loki shifts to help support Kat for Iceheart
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You did. Can I ask you something? What do you plan to do to Lilith? Kill her so she's like you all now?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to face her
* X1 has quit IRC (dream.esper.net reach.esper.net)
<Ariel> Raquel> "She... is not ready to join us. Too young."
<DeathStar> 6* John smiles at Elwyn
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "Follow me, then." 6* She turns to lead her to the elevator.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel follows after Cheryl, wary about doublecrosses. It IS Cheryl, after all.
* Sullivan readies the ice gun for the moment he gets near enough.
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up a hand to Sullivan to wait, and leads Raquel to an eelvator; once they're on, she hits the hospital floor
<DeathStar> <John> I mean, compared to a zombie, I must look good, right?
* Sullivan stays back, shifting the gun under his coat.
<Kit> <Elwyn> ...Where'd you come from?
<DeathStar> <John> I'm here to save you
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart leads them along
<Kit> <Elwyn> Oh... ...Me. Really." 6She raises an eyebrow.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Kat, I'm not hearing anything.
<DeathStar> <John> And the others.
<DeathStar> 6* John motions the two to follow him
<Kit> 6Elwyn eyes Billy.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane works to get the building defenses online, but only incase the zombies attack.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart pauses, pointing ahead as things approach; then eyes John, lowering her hand
<Kit> 6Key smiles at the two, then limps with John
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fuu. 6* She shrugs, following
<DeathStar> 6* The defenses come back online, then begin to shoot at zombies outside
<Kit> 6Chii oops-- having already launched one of those big q-tips at John
<Chad`Winters`> <Loki> Aww and here I thought I'd get to shoot someone.
<DeathStar> <John> You might still get to. I'm here to get all the wounded.
* Sullivan takes an elevator down after them.
<Chad`Winters`> 6Loki looks digusted at that thought and holds the gun out to Iceheart
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out onto the hallway with Raquel, eyeing the others there. John jerks at seeing Raquel
<Xanatos> 6* Kane makes sure to have the defenses push the zombies back instead of killing them, for now at least.
<Kit> <Key> Hm. You're Iceheart-- and Loki.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel glances at John, then back towards their route
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart stares at Cheryl leading an undead into the hospital area.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> What in the hell is she doing?
<Kit> <Chii> Ch-Cherry!?
<Chad`Winters`> <Loki> My reputation prece...6He raises a brow at Cheryl
<Xanatos> 6* Kane attaches his datapad to the console to get controla and then moves to open his door so he can meet up with Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into a room, then motions at Lilith on a bed, sedated and asleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien works his way through the building, using their internal sensors to locate any zombies remaining inside. He beeps Kane
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think they hacked our computerd.
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl! What are you doing!?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I told her she could see Raquel for the location of the base. I'm keeping my word.
<DeathStar> *Lilith
<Xanatos> <Kane on Comm> I managed to get control back, but yes it would seem they had someone talented on their side.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods to Sullivan, once he enters, to freeze her after RAquel has a moment.
* Sullivan quietly gets out the primed gun.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel moves to Lilith's side, looking down at her. She rests a hand against her cheek longingly.
<DeathStar> 6* As Raquel gets near, Lemon steps out, holding a frying pan, ready to strike if Raquel does anything bad.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I will only hit if you hurt her. 6* She notes somberly.
<Kit> <Chii> W-Woah, that's where Lemon was.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You should be in bed resting, Lemon.
* Sullivan uses that cover to aim carefully.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel glances at Lemon, and shakes her head. She seems content to just be there right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to join the others in the hallway ,leaving things to Sullivan and Lemon.
<Kit> <Chii> Sh-She's not killing her?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright. We need to meet up with Kane and check this location out. 6* She eyes Katrina still quiet and out of it, then Chii
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's too young right now, it seems.
<Kit> 6Key still seems antsy, eyeing Raquel with a steady hatred.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seems they have criteria to be met.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around camera feeds, helping Darien out and keeping an eye on his back incase anyone tries to jump him from behind.
<DeathStar> <John> Leaves you to wonder what that criteria is.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Maybe she just wants an older, smarter, sexier Lily to ...do things to.
<DeathStar> <John> ...
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> John, we have a frozen Shiva in the next room, could yo usecure her?
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn moves, then heads to the next room
<Chad`Winters`> 6Iceheart is there in all her beautiful frozen glory
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finally catches back up to Kane, peering at monitors. "Is Cheryl okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* John peers in, then speaks up. "I don't see anyoe."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes, it seems so. Raquel doesn't seem to want Lilith as of now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Curious.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Though I suppose a 2 year old Lilith would hardly be benefital.
<Xanatos> <Kane> My thoughts exactly. They need warriors to add to their group, not children.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We got the location of the base. We should regather our resources to go.
<Kit> <Chii> What'd you say, John..?!
<DeathStar> <John> I said I don't see anyone.
<Kit> <Chii> Fuck!
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ...
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes I agree. 6he takes a breath and makes sure there's a zombie free path to the hangar.
* Sullivan aims carefully and fires three shots in succession, head, back, legs. Making sure she's frosty.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at the frozen Raquel. "We will save you." 6* She promises
<Ariel> 6* Raquel is a sad frozen zombie
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mega City
<DeathStar> 6* Chad would arrive outside a building that he would recognize as one of Eve's old apartment.
* Chad`Winters` eyes the apartment, then the area around it.
<DeathStar> 6* Everything seems normal; there's even people in and about the area.
* Chad`Winters` moves for it, crossing the street casually and then to the front door of the apartment.
<Chad`Winters`> I hope you have those sensors working...6He whispers to himself as he checks to see if the doors unlocked
<DeathStar> 6* The door is locked.
* Chad`Winters` reaches over to buzz inside
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens a bit and a gun is aimed at him, then a pause and the door opens the rest of the way; Eve eyes him, sighing in relief, and opens it up. "Chad. Thank God."
* Chad`Winters` 's hand quickl shifts into his coat then pauses as he see's it Eve', a sigh of relief on his face also. 1"Yeah it's me."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve looks out, pulling him in, then closes the door, locking it
<DeathStar> <Eve> Is it still you?
* Chad`Winters` glances around. 1"Do you mean am I one of those things?"
<DeathStar> <Eve> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* The apartment looks rather spartian; the bedroom is the only thing with anything, a bed. Eve moves in and sits down
<Chad`Winters`> No I'm not, but from what I can tell they lie anyways. 6He moves after her. 1"I'm sorry it took me so long to get here. Things have...They've gone from bad to worse."
<DeathStar> <Eve> What's happened?
* Chad`Winters` catches her up on what happened since he received her first message. 1"Aya was almost killed by Fiore...We stabilized her and I rushed her as soon as I could."
<Chad`Winters`> NRP: here
<DeathStar> <Eve> ... 6* She nods, motioning him to sit. "Will she be okay?"
<Chad`Winters`> It looked good when got her to Tokyo. 6He moves to a window, peering out then moves over to take a seat. 1"What's going on, Eve?"
<DeathStar> <Eve> Something Tucker was into, I think. It's possible he's inflitrated every level of government with these things.
<Chad`Winters`> What did you all find out? 6He looks at her. He looks like he hasn't had much for sleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve reaches over to massage his shoulders. "Not a lot. I was out of the loop for a while."
* Chad`Winters` glances at her, she'd find he has his tact suit on under his coat and shirt. 1"We should regroup with Cheryl's team.
<DeathStar> <Eve >Can they really be trusted at this point?
<Chad`Winters`> Staying here isn't safe if you're right about Tucker having these things all over. They'd I was dropped off nearby
<Chad`Winters`> NRP: know
<DeathStar> <Eve> We can't trust anyone in the unit. We should get Aya and find a secure place to figure this out ourselves.
* Chad`Winters` stands up, nodding. 1"She should still be in Tokyo unless they moved them to regroup somewhere else."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, rising to her feet, then peers at Chad, touching his cheek. "Do you love me?"
* Chad`Winters` eyes her at that, a bit taken back. 1"I..."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve looks at him, her eyes locked onto his
<Chad`Winters`> I don't think this is the time for this Eve. 6He looks back, a conflicted look on his face
<DeathStar> <Eve> When is the time for it? It's a simple question
* Chad`Winters` frowns. 1"I've been through a lot Eve. It's not something I can jump into easilly. I care about you, a lot, through all of this, I've been there for you no matter what."
<DeathStar> <Eve> ... 6* She turns, crossing her arms. "So that's it."
* Chad`Winters` studies her from behind. 1"So whats it?"
<DeathStar> <Eve> You can't say three simple words; you'll be there for someone, consider that something, but just saying "I love you" isn't in your vocabularly? I guess that explains why you choose her.
<Chad`Winters`> It is...it's...6He frowns again. 1"You're talking about the younger Zephyr aren't you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Eve makes a snort sound. "Hardly." 6* She moves over to the closet to open it up, another Eve inside. "I'm referring to my replace, 'sweetie'."

<DeathStar> 6* It's impossible to tell if the second one is alive or dead. The one Eve eyes Chad, stepping forward. "I mean, I heard about moving on, lover, but this is kind of sick, isn't it?"
<Chad`Winters`> It wasn't like that Eve. 6He falls to a knee, his voice quiet. 1"Nobody ever replaced you."

* Chad`Winters` looks into her eyes. 1"No. She was there for me when I needed friends. It just...I couldn't be alone anymore so we started seeing each other. I spent so many years alone after I lost you."
<DeathStar> <Eve> Aw. 6* She leans forward, putting a hand to his chest. "I'm here now, aren't I?" 6* She leans in to kiss him
* Chad`Winters` leans in kissing her back as his left hand reaches up to grab her face. His right hand shifts and swings up at the same time, swinging for her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve stumbles back, holding her chest with the blade in it. "Going for my heart again, lover?"
* Chad`Winters` frowns as he stands up. 1"I was hoping it would be that easy."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve reaches and yanks it out, holding it as her blood drips down it, the wound healing. She shifts to stab at Chad's face. "Let me in on a secret. I never loved you. You were just easy to use to get over having my mind fucked with."
* Chad`Winters` swings his right hand upto let it stab through his palm, a blade slipping into his left hand as he brings it up for extended arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve makes a noise as her arm is cut, holding it. She was never much of a fighter; stepping back, she moves for a dresser by the bed
* Chad`Winters` kicks off, moving to grab her to stop her.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve headbutts backwards for his nose
* Chad`Winters` head snaps back as he snaps his left hand out to grab her hair and yank back on it
<DeathStar> 6* Eve yells out at that.
* Chad`Winters` swings his right hand around her throat. 1"You're wrong about that, you loved me and you loved it when you found out you were pregnant with our daughter.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve grimaces. "Never...could tell...when you..were being lied to..." 6* She tells him
<DeathStar> <Eve> Maybe that's why not even.. Zephyr loved you
<Chad`Winters`> Even if you were telling the truth, What I know is that I do love you Eve. Losing you left a wound in my heart that's never fully healed. 6He tightens his forearm around her throat as he reaches for Ebony and pulling it out. 1"Which makes this that much harder for me."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve stares at him and his gun. She just gives him a sickening smile. "You wouldn't."
* Chad`Winters` presses it against side of her head. 1"Pain is something I've learned to live with." He pulls the trigger
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes eating the food, giving Xanatos a smile. "It is delicious as always."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos returns the smile. 1I'm glad you liked it. Momma's special recipe.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think I will take a nice nap now after that. 6* She notes
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns. 1I think it's almost time to go.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> To go where?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I got word of a place. A safe haven. We should go there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What sort of place? 6* She tilts her head.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's a base, apparently someone knew this was going to happen and built a place fo solitude.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. "Alright. Let us go."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos offers out a hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes it.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Team Xanumi
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis peers at the house ahead; the lights are on. "I believe there is someone home."
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Darien Starr's notes indicated the house was not bought yet.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I could ding dong ditch.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> 'Ding Dong--Ditch'?
<DeathStar> 6* Seh tilts her head.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I run up, ring the door bell and then run back here to hide, then we see who comes to the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Ariel and Megumi, then Xanatos
* Ariel eyes Xanatos, her jaw hanging loose, "...that... scarily enough... might work."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles and gives Ariel a wink, creeping towards the house.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I suppose he would know himself best. I was going t osuggest that I knock on the door; if he desires an Erevis, I might throw him off guard
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos reaches up and rings the doorbell, then jerks and runs to dive int he bushes.
* Ariel keeps out of sight, behind cover
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis shakes her head a bit, hidden beside Ariel. "This feels very juvenile."
<Xanatos> 6* No one comes to the door, but the curtains shift slightly, as if someone's trying to find out who's out there.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Great, I start getting smart when I'm dead or something.
* Ariel nods in total agreement.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...can I bust down the bloody door now?
<Kit> 6Megumi forms her energy blaster, aims for the window and fires scatter.
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and then activates the thermal reader on his eye, trying to get an idea of where the bodies on the inside are placed.
* Ariel winces. This op just got messy.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis moves around the side of the house for the back, since they've made noise
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He tenses and moves for the house, pulling out his pistol he shifts to leap through the window, sweeping with the pistol.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek shifts to go around the opposite of Erevis, hoping to flank.
<Kit> <Megumi> ... He asks to bust the door, then just wanders off.
<Kit> 6Megumi visibly twitches, moving to try and scurry in after Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis steps around the back, peering around for signs of people
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos scratches his head with the gun and glances to Megumi. 1I don't...see anyone. 6He moves to check the bedroom.
* Ariel moves towards the shot out window, to check inside
<DeathStar> 6* The bedroom is a shrine to Erevis and Xanatos
<Kit> 6Megumi peers up at the top of the curtains.
<Xanatos> 6* FE would notices the backdoor is open and some footsteps can be heard moving away in the distance, Drasek round the corner. 1We lose em?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps back downstairs. 1Creepy as fuck.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... 6* Seh taps her comm. "They are escaping out the back." 6* She rushes after the footsteps.
<Xanatos> 6* Megumi would see tops of curtains.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tchs at the comm and takes off running for the back, Drasek moving after Erevis
* Ariel heads around as fast as she can, attempting to catch the fleeing subject
<Kit> 6Megumi grinds her teeth and moves for the back, wondering how the fuck he avoided being hit by scatter and/or glass and got out the back door so fast.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks through some shrubs and frowns, glancing left and right. 1Bloody hell are they? 6he peers out as they seem to be in someone's backyard.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis peers about; at that moment, Erevis speaks up. "Why are we running, Xanatos Durran?" 6* To give away their position
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks and glances to FE, moving in that direction.
<Kit> 6Megumi holds up her hand, making cut off motions to talking/noise, her ears twitching
<Xanatos> 6* XanatosDead tchs. 1We're being chased. 6He whispers.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis moves forward; at that moment, though, impacts at Xanadead's location, causing a bright light
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks. 1The fuck is that!?
<Xanatos> 6* Clonatos aims forward, squinting. 1Wait a second..
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis moves forward through more bushes to spot the dead Xanatos there on the ground, and standing over him, holding Erevis now, is Xevil.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I think I'll take what I desire most from you - since you've failed to keep it.
<Xanatos> 6* XanatosDead sneers on the ground. 1NO. She's mine!
<Kit> 6Megumi stares in shock.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil turns to face them, a gruesume jaw showing, all corpse like. "Prove it by stopping them, then."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek and Clonatos advance after F.E. though both seem to be annoyed at the development.
* Ariel tenses as she reconizes THAT voice.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis stares, grabbing an energy bo and activating it. She rushes in at them.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek tenses and moves in as well.
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts forward holding her energy weapon, shifting to use focused shots, since scatter is bad in groups with allies!
<Xanatos> 6* Xandead gets to his feet and eyes Xevil. 1... 6He jerks and pulls out two pistols, firing out at FE and Drasek, calling drasek to fall back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis squirms to get free from Xevil; Xevil grabs F. Erevis' bo. <Xevil> Should I give you this one?
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis jerks to avoid the shots, but then is swung up by her own bo.
* Ariel fires a holy beam for Xevil's head, moving forward as she pulls her sword free
<Xanatos> 6* XanDead makes a face. 1That one isn't mine, she's old, decrepid.
<Kit> 6Megumi aims for Xandead and fires for the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil swings F. Erevis into the path of the beam, letting her get hit
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Who are you calling old and decrepid, you corpse?
<Xanatos> 6* Xandead jerks to dodge when he's hit in the leg by Xanatos causing Megumi's shot to clip his face, the cypernetic eye sparking and dangling from it's spot. 6He roars and dashes towards megumi.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek attempts to get close and leap to land on Xevil's back by wrapping his arms around his neck.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis grits her teeth in pain while Xevil swings her around by the bo into the ground, head first. He blurs and grabs Ariel from behind by the throat. <Xevil> And I've been looking forward to having you again." 6* He vanishes with her and Erevis
<Kit> 6Megumi stares at him dashing at her-- and fires again
<Kit> <Megumi> ...This weapon is more effective in closer range.
<Xanatos> 6* XanDead pulls up both of his pistols and fires into the shot at a breakneck speed, pretty much nulling any coming towards him.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek eats dirt and makes a noise. 1Fuc-6He checks on FE.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis pushes herself up, her face bleeding
<Kit> 6Megumi doesn't falter, aiming for the ground he approaches with his feet and switches to scatter, blasting it upward at him
<Xanatos> 6* Clonatos moves around aiming for XanDead, who leaps up into the air and rains down fire for Megumi, his guns hissing from the fire.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek tchs and rips his shirt, using it to wrap around the wound. 1Took a nasty one, luv.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Is...the other me...okay?
<Kit> 6Megumi aims upward, having alread switched it to scatter and just has to pull the trigger-- obviously leaping to try and avoid being hit too much thereafter, but priorities.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...it's not lookin good, luv.
<DeathStar> 6* She pushes herself up using her bo, turning to try to see through her bloodied eye at the fight
<Xanatos> 6* XanDead cancels enough so that his head will be fine and tenses to throw out silver discs for Megumi as he's hit and flies back.
<Kit> 6Megumi just hits the ground, sighing. She can't change directions in midair, and if he's firing like an uzi, she's already hit several times and uninclined to scurry about.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek help FE to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis psionically yanks Megumi into her arms
<DeathStar> 6* Then stumbles back into Drasek for support
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I have you, Kitten
<Xanatos> 6* XanDead holds up a datapad to hit a button to detonate the disc by megumi, but is tackled by Clonatos, they wrestle along the ground.
<Kit> <Megumi> It is a shame he never fights this well when he is an ally.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I vote we shoot em both and sort it out later. 6he notes to the two rolling around.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> The younger looking one is the one to shoot.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Both look pretty ancient to me luv.
<Kit> <Megumi> THe one full of scatter shot pockmarks is the one to kill.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... She is correct.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Again.
<Xanatos> 6* XanDead kicks Xanatos off and gets to his feet, firing towards him, cauing him to roll to avoid the shots, at least he's open to the others.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Now
<Kit> 6Megumi alters her weapons shape, like Zephyr often does, holding it more like a railgun or such. She figures pointing it in Xandead's general vicinity will do-- basically pouring off her energy reserve at him in one go. It figures since who's been teaching her.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek holds up his hand and goes to fire when he pauses and eyes Megumi.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> That is new.
<Kit> <Megumi> If he can cancel this with pistols then I 'bloody' give up.
<Xanatos> 6* XanDead jerks to try and dive out of the way, getting pretty much ripped in half, his upper torso flopping sickingly along the ground.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Want me to finish 'im off, luv?
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... 6* Seh walks over, takes the energy bo, and drives it throug his skull
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I have it handled.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gets to his feet and lets out a sigh, holding his side. 1I don't EVER remembering moving that well.
<Kit> <Megumi> Glory be to the goddess, for we are not worthy." 6She adds in sarcasm.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis eyes her with her only good eye
<Kit> <Megumi> I agree." 6She says to Xanatos.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ....we need to get back to Cheryl, let her know we fuckin lost Ariel along with Revi again.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You haven't seen me in bed. 6He winks to Megumi, then winces at his bleeding side.
<Kit> <Megumi> Correct.
<Kit> <Megumi> Did anyone bring a medkit by chance?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> There might be one on the shuttle. We don't have much time, so we should hurry.
<Kit> <Megumi> I would, but I am leaking.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis moves over and lifts Megumi up to carry to the shuttle
<Kit> 6Megumi gestures to various shot injuries.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Glory be to the fact your mouth fuctions despite losing fluids
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers at Megumi, then at himself. 1Hey we kinda match. How sweet is that? 6he moves after them, Drasek just groans and moves along as well.
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, the advantage of ignoring pain.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Battleship Alexander
<DeathStar> 6* Having moved everyone to Alexander's newest battleship, they hover over Mega City now; the wounded are in the medical area, and shields are up. Darien stands on the bridge, going over data; Cheryl paces
<DeathStar> <Darien> At least they shouldn't be able to get on here without us knowing it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at a message coming in, then taps a button; Xanatos' face appears.
<Kit> <Key> ..." 6She looks skeptical.
<Xanatos> <Kane> It's a pity we couldn't have a proper launching ceremony.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I have bad news. Really bad news.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Kit> <Chii> Let me guess- you lost Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes F. Erevis having stripped Megumi naked in the background, and is patching her up crudely
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well, we killed the other me, but Xevil appeared and took Erevis and Ariel.
<Kit> <Megumi> Wh-Why are we where they can see!?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Also I got shot and it hurts like a some of a bitch.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I thought you would have the advantage of ignoring people watching you
<Xanatos> NRP: son
<Kit> <Chii> Wow. I was just guessing since Darien answered your hail. You actually did. Wow.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares.
<Kit> <Megumi> Why would I have that?!
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> He moved so fast I couldn't even keep up.
* Sullivan looks over the bridge, hands behind his back, looking a bit sullen.
<DeathStar> <Darien> >.. Xevil...took Ariel?
<Kit> <Key> Even Dark God back and Key useless!!
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs Key's back.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I really hope you got some good information because I really don't think we'll have much time now.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns, rubbing the side of his face, he glances to Darien slightly.
<Kit> <Megumi> We need to find her right away, Starr." 6She puts a hand over her left eye, aching from memory.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She has a hand to her eye, her lips moving quietly, then she speaks. "We have the loctation of their base."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come to us, and we'll go together.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Already on my way. I'm really sorry, I would've tried to stop him if I could have...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back, the shadows hiding his face
<Kit> <Chii> So Raquel-kibbles told us the truth..?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There's a mountain at the location; it could have a base in it
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns slightly and glances over system, nodding once to Cheryl. 1It is likely we will have to infiltrate.
<Sullivan> "Big rock full of undead... sounds grand."
<DeathStar> 6* Another terminal beeps from another incoming message. Darien doesn't shift to answer.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane reaches out to answer it after giving it a second.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in bed, peering at the wall in thought; Aya sleeps in her bed, and Zephyr does the same in her's
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's face appears.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Mr. Winters. Were you successful in your mission?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl paces the bridge, her eyes trailing lines in the floor
<Kit> <Chii> Oniisan. Great... more good news. I'm going back to Kat..." 6She mumbles, slinking off.
<Chad`Winters`> <Comm> Yes. I recovered Eve. 6He has a stoic look on his face, a distant look in his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face at Katrina's name, more focused on the lines
<Xanatos> <Kane> I see. Do you need an extraction?
<Kit> 6Key peers at Cheryl, hobbling over to her.
<Chad`Winters`> <Comm> That'd be appreciated.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin's shuttle lands in the hanger
<Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once. 1I'll send a shuttle. Be safe.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Key, then ahead.
<Chad`Winters`> <Comm> It's not safe here, so try to make it quick.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl trails the line
<Xanatos> <Kane> Of course. But before I do. What is the code word?
<Kit> <Key> Cherry Lemonaaade?" 6She leans forward, peering up in her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, eyeing KEy.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks to get out of the shuttle and runs for the medical bay, even thought he doesn't know where it is.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps out as well, black and badass
<Kit> <Key> Gimme kiss?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Chad`Winters`> <Comm> I was never given one.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron stands in the hangar quietly, peering towards Paladin's shuttle. 1Hello Gordon.
<Chad`Winters`> 6SpoC steps off the shuttle now.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Theron
<Xanatos> <Kane> Fair enough. Be ready for extraction in 10 minutes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, Key.
<Chad`Winters`> <Comm> How is my daughter doing? And Zephyr?
<Xanatos> 6* Theron bows his head, then glances to SPoC. 1Natalie.
* Sullivan looks out at the view.
<Xanatos> <Kane> They are both safe and sound with us.
<Chad`Winters`> 6PoC bows his head back. 1"You are safe."
<Chad`Winters`> <Comm> Good. I'll see you when I get there. 6He clicks the comm off
Session Close: Fri Dec 04 00:00:00 2009
Session Start: Fri Dec 04 00:00:00 2009
Session Ident: #taw
<Kit> <Key> ..." 6She sulks.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane closes the connection as well and then peers around at everyone.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Indeed, and you as well. I trust you didn't have much trouble?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> She didn't put up resistance
<Chad`Winters`> 6SPoC shakes her head no. 1"It was a very simple mission."
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos' shuttle comes in a moment later.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr groans, opening her eyes.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron archs a brow slightly. 1I see. Hm. 6he considers that.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin's leaning in close almost touching her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks with a gasp
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos's shuttle docks and he lowers the ramp, moving down it.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Why you sleepin?
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis carries a naked Megumi out
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I--- .... where....?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> BIG ship. Not CHIP though.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... is ... Aya okay?
<Xanatos> 6* Theron arches a brow to glances over at the naked Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin peers over
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Dunno, I just got here 2 minutes ago.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos seems amused as he walks with them, Drasek coming down last. 1<Drasek> Always bloody naked with this group.
* Sullivan shakes his head and moves towards the bridge exit. "Hope this is comin to a close."
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis moves to find medical bay with Megumi
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She tries to sit up now
<Xanatos> 6* Theron glances back as if he's used to such a thing and nods. 1It is good that you are both well in any event.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves to Medical with FE, while Xan goes to the bridge.
<Chad`Winters`> <SPoC> Can you bring us upto speed?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> That would be helpful
<Xanatos> 6* Theron nods and begins to do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl paces on the bridge again
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin reaches out to hold her down. 1Think you're sposed to be resting, lady.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances at something. 1Chad's shuttle should be here shortly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ...
* Sullivan looks back, watching Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm fine. I-- 6* She eyes Megumi being brought in, eyes widening
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are you okay?
<Xanatos> <Kane> I've plotted an intercept course so that we can begin the trip there. We can go at any time.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis gets her on a bed, and the doctors move to check her over
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Go.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Cheryl and then orders the pilot to get them moving.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps in and moves over to check on Zephyr. 1You okay bit?
<Chad`Winters`> 6SPoC frowns a bit when he finishes. 1"It would appear things will be hard from here out."
* Sullivan leans against a wall near the exit, crossing his arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Drasek, nodding
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Can you tell me what's happening?
<Xanatos> <Theron> Fighting allies from our past is never something that would be considered easy.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods and pulls up a chair, reaching out to take her hand and explain all he knows
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel would come to and find herself in a chair, her arms strapped to a chair, and a collar around her neck; all her powers seem to be off. Across from her is Erevis, simply tied up, watching her
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you okay, Ariel?
<DeathStar> 6* The room is very reminsicent of the room they were in before when Xevil tortured Erevis
* Ariel opens her eyes slowly, and looks to Erevis. She has a horrible sense of deja vu. "I've... been better."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She nods; though she tries to look brave, there's a hint of raw fear in her eyes, clearly not wanting to be in this room
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am afraid I am unable to free myself.
* Ariel tests the strength of her binds, "...try. We can't stay here."
<DeathStar> 6* A hand comes down on Ariel's shoulder from behind. "Going so soon? I went to a lot of trouble to put this reunion together. To show my thanks for my head being smashed to bits
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil steps around to face her, holding teh same type blade he had before
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stiffens
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I thought we could play a game.
<Ariel> "Go fish?"
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Now... Erevis. I'm going to ask you a question. If I don't like the answer, I'm going to take it out on Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis narrows her eyes. Xevil steps over to Erevis, stroking her cheek. <Xevil> Give me the codes to the PAX's computer.
* Ariel closes her eyes, bracing herself.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ... 6* She eyes Ariel, then Xevil. "Cannot tell you that..."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil smiles, coldly, then steps to Ariel. "Hm, how did I begin this last time...oh yes." 6* He drives the blade into her hand
* Ariel clenches her teeth, keeping from crying out
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares, wanting to look away, but feels that would be wrong to look away from what she's indirectly causing.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> The codes? 6* Erevis glares, and he rips it out, bringing the knife to Ariel's eye. "Man, this is deja vu."
<Ariel> "Y-yeah... you... still suck at this."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> We'll see if you say that after you get a new outlook on life. 6* He brings the knife into her eye
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Battleship Alexander
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's shuttle has docked and they continue to move forward
* Chad`Winters` moves down the ramp, carrying Eve in his arms, there's some blood stains on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to try to unhook her IVs. "I need to get to the bridge and help."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her eye suddenly
<Xanatos> <Drasek> You need to stay in bed and rest, luv.
<Kit> <Megumi> You seem obsessed with ending your life.
<DeathStar> 6* Spinning dizzily, she falls to her knees
* Sullivan looks over at Cheryl. "You okay Boss?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But---our family is still out there.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks and moves over to her. 1Cheryl?
* Sullivan moves over to her. "The hell..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ungh...god....the Alpha Protocol...something just happened to Ariel that was so...severe...
* Chad`Winters` taps his comm. 1"Where's medical?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> You've got to rely on us to handle this.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs her eye, screaming
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks. 1Bit!? <Kellin> M-ZEPHYR?!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks, peering at Cheryl, then ahead.
* Sullivan helps her up. "You gonna be alright bosslady?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns. 1I...see. 6he frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lowers her hand, blinking it. "Someone's hurting Mom."
<Kit> <Megumi> ...?" 6She jerks, peering at Zephyr, then grabs her own eyes. 1"...Nh... j-just like last time, eh?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> .... 6he frowns, knowing who that is. 1Bloody hell.
* Chad`Winters` moves through the hanger, towards the nearest hallway as he waits for a response
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr and Cheryl both breathe out, the pain gone now for them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... We need to hurry.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What's happening to her?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Understood. 6He orders the Pilot to pick up the pace.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Not sure luv, but I know who has her, Xevil.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...It is a memory I witheld from you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...? 6* She looks at Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Some helpful NPCs help Chad
<Kit> <Megumi> When I was bonded with her, for a time, there is something I relived unfortunately.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl focuses, working to make sure if any more pain bleeds over, Zephyr doesn't get it. She pauses, gripping her stomach
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos fidgets, rubbing his arm.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis sits on a medical bed, her eye being treated. She frowns, peering down worriedly
* Chad`Winters` steps into medical and shifts Eve down on a bed, letting an attendant know about her. He slowly looks over at Zephyr, his eyes glancing at his daughter briefly. 1"You alright, Zephyr?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane reaches out to grab Cheryl. 1Let's get you to a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's eyes flutter
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What is that butcher doing to her...
<Kit> 6Dawn jumps slightly, peering over Aya.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I--someone's hurting Mom. 6* She keeps focused on Megumi
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'm not certain, I only hope she can hold out until we arrive.
* Sullivan holds her steady.
* Chad`Winters` frowns and he moves over to his daughter, grabbing her hand and squeezing it
<DeathStar> 6* Aya opens her eyes tiredly
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl breathes out as the pain fades again
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, peering at Chad, then moves away.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's fist grip tightly, peering ahead; the mountain begins to come into view.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers up. 1Scan for possible locations of entry.
<Chad`Winters`> How're you feeling? 6He looks at her now, his hand holding her hand tightly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She hits her comm. "Everyone, get to the attack shuttle that's going on this mission; the rest, man stations here."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moves her lips, but no sound comes out. She looks frustrated.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos turns and moves for the hangar.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers up at the comm, then tries to get to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* John takes Key's hand, movnig for the hanger.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek holds out an arm to Zephyr. 1You need to learn when to let others fight for you, bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets to her feet, quietly grabbing her energy sword, then moves out of the medical area.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But---
* Sullivan looks at Cheryl.
<Kit> <Chii> Katrina." 6She hisses.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns, moving off.
* Chad`Winters` peers up then, runs his hand along her head. 1"Just rest peanut."
* Sullivan moves off after her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Marcus will be there. I have to try to save him
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I know you're not wantin to sit behind, but you're injured and killin yourself won't do anything but make everyone else sad.
<Kit> <Chii> You are expecting. I can't forgive if you jeopardize that.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... save her, Drasek.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> My child is there, too, probably. I have to go.
<Kit> <Megumi> Time for me to go." 6She gets up, wincing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm going.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek leans forward and kisses her forhead. 1Of course. See you soon. 6He rises and moves for the hanger.
<Kit> <Chii> Then I'm coming." 6She mumbles darkly.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart peers over at Katrina; Billy moves for the shuttle
<Xanatos> 6* Cole steps into the hanger.
<Chad`Winters`> This'll be over soon, alright? Just rest.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Chii, kissing her forehead, then hurries
<Kit> 6Elwyn waits by the shuttle, shaking her head at Billy.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Figures, runt.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis shifts to get up, using her bo for support
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fuu.
* Chad`Winters` shifts, giving her a kiss on her forehead and he lets go of her hand, moving for the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shifts to her older form, swatting Elwyn's rear.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya watches him go, looking worried
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis moves to follow Drasek
<Xanatos> 6* Theron steps onto the bridge, Kane instructs him to a weaposn console.
<Kit> 6Elwyn jumps slightly, then swats Billy's with her good hand
<DeathStar> 6* Billy jerks, then she swats back
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances to FE. 1Do I have to give you the same speech, luv?
<Chad`Winters`> 6SPoC steps into the hanger.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> My daughters may be there. No speech would work
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and John enter the hanger; Cheryl steps onto the shuttle.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Nothin like a mum's scorn, eh?
<Kit> 6Elwyn grips Billy's rear instead, pulling her to herself, leaning he rhead to the side and kisses her.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy flails in surprise, then relaxes
* Sullivan gets on the shuttle.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos and Cole both get on the shuttle.
* Chad`Winters` steps into the hanger and moves for the shuttle, his hand unholstering Ebony, his hand stained from blood.
<DeathStar> <John> Ready to kick ass, Key?
<Kit> <Megumi> <Will return soon.>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I love you. Be safe.>
<Kit> <Key> Ready to kick much ass!
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis nods to Drasek, getting on the shuttle.
<Kit> <Key> ...With good foot.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's eye twitches
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps up the ramp and pats FE's shoulder, taking a seat.
* Chad`Winters` moves up into the shuttle.
<Kit> <Elwyn> C'mon, troublemaker." 6She lets Billy go, moving into the shuttle.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole glances to Cheryl slightly. 1You alright?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hops onto the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<DeathStar> 6* The fox sneaks onboard
<Xanatos> <Cole> Let's make it better, then. 6he takes a seat.
* Chad`Winters` shifts his hand onto Cheryls shoulder.
<Kit> 6Chii moves inside the shuttle, armed with a plethora of blades.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers ta Chad, then ahead; the pilot gets them started
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Xevil's Happy Fun Place
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil cleans his blade, peering at Ariel, who's lost an eye, a finger, and been stabbed in the gut
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Look at her, Erevis, you could stop this, you know. Just tell me the code.
<Ariel> "You know... there... there are benefits to this. I don't have to see your face in stereo any more."
* Ariel strains, trying to look beyond the pain. The sadistic monster really did enjoy this.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I... cannot endanger all those...lives...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks ill, and more pale than usual, almost like she's having trouble breathe, much like when she was poisoned.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Well. This is the fun part. 6* He notes, cutting open Ariel's clothing now. "I'm sure you remember this part well, Erevis." 6* He notes, groping Ariel roughly, eyeing her body. "She looks like she'll feel better than you did."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You.......are a monster...with nothing human in you..
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil laughs. "But really. Why should I share all the fun? I have a friend, Ariel...who would like to get to know you better." 6* He motions as another person walks in. Angela.
<Ariel> "...you really are a sadistic bastard."
<Sullivan> * Angela steps in, smirking slowly as she looks over Ariel. "Hello Mommy."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes widen, then narrow. Xevil smirks. <Xevil> Maybe you'd rather she do it than me?
<Ariel> "......"
<Sullivan> Angela> "I've missed you oh so very much..." *she smiles in a sick, sweet way*
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil steps up, removing the cloak around Angela, to reveal her in a dominatrix outfit. "I will enjoy this very much."
<Ariel> "...so, you're working for Xevil now..."
<Sullivan> * Angela smiles at Xevil, licking her lips a little. "So will I dear. So will I." *she gently picks up a knife*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly looks ill, a hand going to her mouth
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers over, looking concerned.
<DeathStar> 6* The battleship nearby begins to fire on the base, trying to find a hole for them, and provide a distraction
* Chad`Winters` looks over at her. 1"Cheryl."
* Sullivan glances at her.
<DeathStar> 6* As they fly, another shuttle launches from the battleship, and moves in, doing a speed of missiles; likely Darien
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... faster.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Cheryl, then ahead; finally they manage to blow a hole and their pilot brings them into a hanger
<Chad`Winters`> You heard her.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gets to his feet and moves to the back.
* Sullivan pulls out his gun, moving after Cole.
<Kit> <Chii> What's going on, Cherry?
<Chad`Winters`> 6SPoC moves after Cole and Sullivan as Chad stands up and moves for the back
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up weakly, looking like she's fighting some sensation that's tearing her apart; Chii would get an idea whatever is happening, is both emotional and a physical trauma for Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* John runs down the ramp, eyeing the hanger, empty of people so far. Cheryl follows, activating her whip; near them, Darien's shuttle lands and he gets out
<Xanatos> <Cole> Who are we making a popsicle and who are we ripping apart?
<DeathStar> <Billy> This place reeks of death.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks ta Cole, then ahead.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos, Drasek and Cole all move down, peering around.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Whomever we find with Ariel-- we're tearing them apart. No mercy.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Well, that's charming.
* Chad`Winters` checks his gun briefly. 1"Cheryl, can you pinpoint Ariel?
* Sullivan looks around slowly, moving down, "You'd think there'd be some resistance. I don't like this."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to move ahead.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Then let's get a move on. 6He spools up his minigun and moves after Cheryl
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Battleship Alexander
<DeathStar> 6* A message comes in on the military line, but not from a source Kane would recognize
<Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow curiously and checks it.
<DeathStar> 6* Slasher's face appears.
<DeathStar> 6* Well, his penis first, then his face
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> Are you the man in charge?
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...I am. You seem to look like another man I know, what is the purpose of this?
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> Have your friends left for the mountain yet?
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...they are in it already.
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> Shit> You need to get them out of their. It's a trap set up to kill them all off and subsequently release a toxin that will bring all of the dead alive in this city. The guy behind all of this is a mountain nearby. He's the man you need to stop to prevent that toxin from being released
<Xanatos> <Kane> We have allies in that base, I doubt they'll leave them behind. But how do I ask, do you know this?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane is looking up nearby mountain ranges while he asks.
<Chad`Winters`> 6Slasher rubs his temple. 1"My names Slasher, well former President Slasher. I'm friends with the that dashingly good looking Wind. It's hard to explain and I wouldn't have believed had we not seen the results of it. But we know the future events from our place and for some reason your's.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Then what do you suggest we do? Leave some of our loved ones alone? 6He moves to COmm Cheryl and inform her about the situation.
<DeathStar> 6* The comm seems to be blocked.
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> Look. It doesn't tell us how to change the events to get the best. All we know are the consequences of events about to unfold.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane tchs. 1Our communications are being blocked.
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> Then you need to send who ever you have left after the mastermind to stop him.
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> And I'm willing to offer my assistance to help you in this.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane nods. 1We're going there now. Thank you for your assistance. 6He orders them to move out for the other mountain.
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> H-Hey...You're not going to leave a naked man out in the middle of this city are you?
<Xanatos> <Kane> You can assistance us furthur how, exactly?
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> If you can't comm them, you need to send one person into that mountain to warn them.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Are you willing to be that person, Mr. Slasher?
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> Well I have dabbled in the arts of combat before. 6He poses slightly a smug look on his face
<DeathStar> 6* A NPC retches as the pose shows his penis
<Chad`Winters`> <Slasher> But it might be more effecient to send me and whoever else you can to that other mountain to stop the Mastermind. THat's the name I'm calling him.
<Xanatos> <Kane> There should be a military base nearby, use this authorization code to get access to a shuttle. Good luck.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane tells him the code.
<DeathStar> -END-
