<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-591.3.22
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* 5 days have passed since X went boom. Chad has been called back to perform his duties as the PAX slowly heads in the direction of Earth, and so far Marcus' bar has been closed down, ending Elwyn's trial week prematurely. The only non-bleak thing is the concert tonight by Athena in the Concert Hall
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in a front row seat, eyeing the song selection
<Chad`Winters> 6Aurora sits in the her seat, waiting patiently
<DeathStar> 6* Due to it's free nature, outside front seats, the concert hall has filled reasonablely well, due to curiousity.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sits in her spot, looking over the stage area with great anticipation.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos, Drasek, Carter and Kellin are all in the front row. Kellin fidget ins anticipations, while Xanatos peers around at the crowd.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers up as someone sits in a near near her on the front row seat. Kyun. Her eyes narrow
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and then reaches out to pats Erevis' hand.
<Seraphna> * Keiran floats in the back. Apparently even the Vapaad like Athena.
<Kit> 6Megumi idly moves to sit on Erevis' other side between them, leaning against her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How...dare he sit up front... 6* She hisses with venom
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Easy. 6he whispers.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pulls his arms behind his head as he stretches out, crossing his legs.
<Kit> 6Elwyn finds a seat comfortably in the middle where sound won't bother her as much and flops, grumbling about finding work without a ship.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron takes a seat in the middle.
<DeathStar> 6* The curtains rise and Athena stands in a Kilek outfit that matches Megumi's; she brings a flute to her lips and begins to play a tune that's familiar to those who have heard Megumi's meolody. She begins to dance to it as she plays, having come up with her own dance just for it. Erevis peers away from Kyun to blink
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh sits in the crowd with some of her siblings.
* Chad`Winters sits beside his daughter.
<Kit> 6Elwyn pauses, slowly turning to peer at Theron curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyun leans forward to watch Athena, a bit TOO closely. Zephyr peers over from beside Megumi to watch him carefully
<Seraphna> * Jennifer watches with her attention focused on Athena's performance.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos keeps peering from Kyun to Athena.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not like how he watches her. 6* She whispers.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Me either. 6He breathes.
<Kit> <Megumi> Perhaps you two should pay more attention to Athena.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin bobs and moves to the sound, smiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks, as if scolded, peering ahead shamefully
<Xanatos> 6* Carter tilts his head slightly, watching curiously, while Theron doesn't seem to notice Elwyn as he watched Athena.
* Chad`Winters listens quietly, a relaxed look on his face and in his body language.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sways a little as she listens.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She eyes Kyun once more, then ahead
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Executive Building Science Labs
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands beside a metal slab with the bones on it; Eve and Kane and Alexander are present, as well as Cheryl allowing Dias to come along to hear the outcome. And Key, if she insisted
<DeathStar> 6* And cried a lot
<Kit> 6Key stands there, still crying a lot. Just not noisily.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It took a lot of studying, but I think we've reached a conclusion.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane stands there with his arms pulled behind his back.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the bones. 1"And what is it?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> They're definitely real bones. And they're a Weapon's bones. And female. However... they cannot be X's.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Alex now. 1"Why's that?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> X was a clone. There would be markers in the bones, to a degree, of the clone process. They're most likely the remains of the Weapon that X was cloned from
* X1 has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Caesura's. 6He shoulder relax slightly as if some burden's been pulled off them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Someone went to a lot of trouble, then, to find such remains and use it for X's. Someone with a lot of inside knowledge.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I was hoping you might have an idea of who that might be.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Someone who worked on the Weapons Project then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We rounded up the last of the Weapons Project during that clone business. Unless someone slipped through
<Xanatos> <Kane> Currently the only Weapons I have knowledge of is Raquel, Dias, X, Chad, and Caduceus. Is there a chance that there may be another out there?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The rest were destroyed or eaten by Raquel
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias knuckles tighten, his knuckles turning white. 1"I don't care who it is, when I find them..."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Out of curiousity. Did you use protection, Dias, when having sex with X?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head slightly to peer at Alex.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, it feels better.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve and Alexander exchange glances.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What? Condoms weren't the top of my list of things I'd need hopping through realities.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers away now, as if knowing something
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Of course. Until we can find a lead, it's safe to assume X is fine. They wouldn't have gone to this trouble to hurt her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Cheryl peering away. 1"...You know something
<Xanatos> <Kane> Apparently we are the few that do not. 6He notes to Dias.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll go over the video feeds Cole and Cypher got. Maybe see something I missed
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't change the subject on me.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face. "One of the reasons X left as because she was feeling hormonal and bloated."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And more hormonal than X typically is like
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stares blankly. 1"I'm not following.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. 6He notes, peering down slightly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She frowns more.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It's possible it was the side effect of the entire stone incident.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look, I have a right to know. 6He looks annoyed now, his eyes looking over at Alex no
<DeathStar> <Eve> I've tried to get Caduceus to give us his medical files on her after his examination of he return
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There's a chance she was pregnant.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands still now, his face losing some color. 1"Dont' joke about that Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not. I'd prefer not to have brought it up until we knew for sure. She wouldn't let my people examine her after I asked
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts back slightly, his hand grabbing the table as his other hand goes to his face.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and glances to Alex. 1Why did you ask, exactly?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Some of her blood work I did get Caduceus seemed to indicate there was a chance. And the fact they targetted her specifically is odd. I mean, she was on her own, but taking out any of the Weapons wouldn'e be that hard, they're all rather oblivious
<DeathStar> <Alexander> And we've all seen Aya's capabilities. Imagine the child of two Weapons.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I see. This would mean a new weapon.
<DeathStar> <Eve> A potientially powerful one
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' right hand grabs the table tightly, his knuckles turning white again as his left hand lowers from his face, anger on it.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns, shaking his head slightly. 1Hmm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then she's our top priority to find
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's possibly my kid you're labeling a weapon, Kane. 6He eyes him
<Xanatos> <Kane> You can get upset at me all you would like Dias, but that will not bring her back. 6He point sout.
<Kit> <Key> ...So... X alive?
<Kit> 6Key stares blankly, not really getting most of the Weapon talk or conspiracy theories.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> When I find out who's behind this, I'll make them regret every second of their lives.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets head back to base. There's nothing more to be done here on the information we have
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Thank you. 6He nods to the three as he moves to leave now
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'll look into weapon personnel, see if something slipped through the cracks.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I'll see if I can learn who all had access to information on the Weapons Project
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mansion Base
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon sets out a three layered decked out German Chocolate Cake on the table, surrounded by other food
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in her office, her datapads all lined up perfectly, as she reviews the information
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias punches away into a punching bag, sweat dripping off his body.
<Seraphna> * Peter eyes the food with a look not unlike a stray dog, running his eyes over it.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole has his head down at a table in the mess area, having fallen asleep waiting on Lemon
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps into the training area, peering towards Dias, he approaches.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel helps with the food, trying to keep herself distracted. Brushing up on her cooking skills doesn't hurt.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just wails into it, his strikes brutal and wild.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I got here as fast as I could. 6He notes as he reaches out to hold the bag for him.
<Seraphna> * Peter seems to be politely waiting for it all to be ready, he sits back a bit and stretches.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon steps back, waiting for people to help themselves, dressed in her maid outfit
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks as Marcus' speaks and he stops. His hands grabbing onto the bag as he looks over at him, a look of shock that he's here. 1"They think she might be pregnant. That that's why this all happened to her."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole snores.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks shocked and widens his eyes slightly, frowning. 1I...man I'm sorry. We'll find her.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses, motioning ta Raquel. "Please wake Cole."
<Seraphna> * Peter taps Cole on the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands outside the training area, watching Marcus from a distance
<Ariel> 6* Raquel moves over, sneakily approaching Cole if he doesn't wake from Peter
<Xanatos> 6* Cole waves a hand, mumbling.
<Seraphna> * Peter looks at Raquel, waving to indicate a team attack.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rests his head against the bag now as he stares down at the floor, sweat dripping off his brow. 1"I...thought I lost her, then I find out I might be a father...I..."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel steps up, pondering the most embarassing way to wake him up.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Kiss him! 6* She whispers
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus reaches out to put a hand on his shoulder. 1It's a lot to take in, for anyone, even some superhero. 6He adds it in dryly as a joke. 1But I'm here now and we're going to find her and make whoever did this pay, I promise you man.
<Seraphna> * Peter watches her, he looks at Lemon and back, then nods.
<Kit> 6Key attempts to sneak up on Lemon from behind.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel suddenly grabs Peter by the shoulder, and attempts to press his face against Cole's cheek before he realizes what's going on
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Marcus, his head still resting against the bag, the look in his eyes filled with killing intent. 1"They'll pay alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches Raquel and Cole curiously
<Seraphna> * Peter gets smushed to Cole's face, flailing a little in surprise.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Listen to me. What they did to you, what they did to X. It's unforgivable, but we can't stoop to their level.
<Kit> 6Key jabs Lemon in the back with two fingers.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and jumps to the side, holding up his arms defensively, he sleepily eyes the two. 1..I'm not gay.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And why not? People like them don't deserve to live.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon makes a noise, recoiling forward and turning around
* Seraphna holds up his fists lopsidedly. "Me neither."
<Kit> <Key> Mission complete.
<Seraphna> * Peter
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Mission?
<Kit> <Key> Key train sneaking.
<Seraphna> Peter> "That was cruel, Miss."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> And you get to decide that, Dias? They're monsters and they deserve to pay for what they done, believe me I'll fight with my all to bring them to justice. BUT to Justice, Dias. Not Death.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gives Raquel and eye and then jerks to grab her and throw her over his shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She gives Key a hug, pressing her face into her chest
<Ariel> 6* Raquel smirks... until she's grabbed, giving an EEK
<Kit> 6Key pauses, then goes limp like Billy does.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Is there a pool around here? 6He peers around, trying to remember.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances away for a moment, then pushes off the bag. 1"I'm glad you're here, Marcus."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> My hugs are more sneaky
<Seraphna> * Peter looks around. "Dunno, haven't found one yet." He looks over at Lemon.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back, rubbing her face.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You're my best friend. I wouldn't leave you alone in this man, I know you would be here for me if it was flipped around.
<Kit> 6Key peers up at Lemon from her breasts. 1"X alive? Key don't get it."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes, X is alive.
<Kit> <Key> Yahou! Must pack.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Pack?
<Ariel> Raquel> "W-wha? POOL? But... you... you'll miss all the food!"
<Seraphna> Peter> "...She's got a point, grubs ready."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods, then shifts and hugs Marcus. 1"Is this how you felt when you realized you were going to be a father?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oh that's a nice one. I'm going to get you back. 6He points out to Raquel, setting her down.
<Kit> <Key> Hai! Key look for X.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Double your troubles lass." *he starts collecting food*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm not sure, do you feel like you're going to vomit? Feel a little scared? 6He says as he returns the hug.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> But we don't know where to look yet.
<Kit> <Key> Key look everywhere!
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We should wait for Mistress Cheryl to find a lead.
<Kit> <Key> Lead?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> A place to look
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I did at first, yeah. Just don't tell anyone.
<Kit> <Key> Key want to find X, not find lead. Look everywhere, not need place to look.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's normal. I'm still scared to death. I think that's just part of it all. We'll find her man, we have too.
<Seraphna> * Peter looks over at Lemon and Key as he munches some food. "S'lot of ground to cover there Key."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> But---that's dangerous.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks worried
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gets a plate and filsl it up, then begins to eat, watching everyone as he does.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Key you won't go off on your own. If we work together we have a higher chance of finding X.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Marcus for a second then down at the floor. 1"I'm worried that I'm going to cross that line, Marcus...
<Kit> 6Key eyes Peter, then back to Lemon, pointing at him. 1"Who's that?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Mr. Pete.
<Kit> <Key> Why's 'Mr. Pete' know Key?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You won't, because you're a good person. And I'll be there to kick your ass if you do.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Mr. Peter watches Key?
<Seraphna> Peter> *slowly raises his brow at Key* "Been here a few days now."
<Kit> 6Key smiles. 1"Creepy! Pete stalker!?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shifts away from Pete.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I hope so, Marcus.
<Seraphna> Peter> "How'd we arrive at stalker already?"
<Kit> <Key> Should have Pete look for X! Stalker always finds you!" 6She says ominously.
<Seraphna> * Peter stares. "I'm not very good at tracking anything lady."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches Peter suspiciously now
<Seraphna> * Peter looks at those eyeing him now and slumps his shoulders. "Lord what'd I do this time."
<Kit> <Key> Let us know when stalking X, okay, Pete!? Cole say better chance together!"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...with an organization like this, not being able to track isn't a good thing."
<Seraphna> Peter> "...I---"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers up, tilting his head slightly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You have a chance to eat yet?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No, we just got here.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We...6He looks around then spots Kat. He looks at Marcus again. 1"Alright, I'll take you guys to the messhall then."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods. 1Sounds like a plan.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods, his hand giving Marcus's shoulder a squeeze and he he moves off to Kat. 1"It's good to see you too, Kat."
<Seraphna> * Peter just takes a seat, looking flabbergasted.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps up to give Dias a hug
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus follows along, hands in his pocket, he gives Kat and Dias a smile.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hugs her back, leaning into it slightly. 1"I'm sorry for troubling you both."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's no trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Key, then whispers about what to do if Mr. Pete is found outside her door at night
<Kit> 6Chii peers inside the training area slowly. Stealthily.
<Kit> <Key> Really?!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias smiles slightly as he lets' go. 1"Did you hear? I might be a father." 6He seems to visually relax, even though there's a slight tremble to his voice.
<Kit> 6Key beams. 1"Lemon say same thing as Lily!"
<Seraphna> Peter> *rubs his temple a little* "I need a drink..."
<Kit> 6Chii tiptoes around the three conversing, swooping in for Katrina.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole eats cake, making Mmm sounds.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I heard. 6* She gives him a smile. "And you'll be great at it." 6* She leaves no room for doubt in her tone that they'll find the kid
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah I will. 6He rubs the back of his neck.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and reaches out to grab Chii in a hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to give Chii a smile
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hi Chii Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon beams back, since that's a compliment
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts an arm around Dias, letting him lead them to the mess hall
<Kit> 6Chii hurks as Marcus grabs her. 1"Th-The hell, how'd you... god, I suck at being a ninja now."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus awws and nuzzles her with his cheek as he follows after them.
* X1 has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods and leads them that way.
<Kit> <Chii> Kaaaaat. I've missed you.
<Seraphna> * Peter starts eating again, looking up as the others enter.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We can catch up over food. 6* She smiles
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Lemon. 1"Hey Lem, do you think you could make us some food?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I think there's already good made, man.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at the table full of food, then up
<DeathStar> <Lemon> More?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gives Dias a small wave, "...surely you're not THAT glutinous..."
<Seraphna> * Peter looks at the newcomers, swallowing some food.
<Xanatos> NRP: food, not good.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs the back of his neck, frowning slightly. 1"I guess I didn't see it. Sorry."
<Kit> 6Chii eyes the table, then reaches for a plate to start heaping it.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives a wave, letting Chii back to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon holds up a plate for Dias, already premade
<Xanatos> 6* Cole looks up then reaches out and smears chocolate on Raquel's face.
<Kit> 6Key takes a seat, apparently not hungry, but smiles warmly at everyone gathering.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus reaches out to rub Kat's shoulder as he moves to get a plate.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...Thank you. 6He takes it, his appetite not having been it's normal self the last 5 days.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Food's good here."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over to get some as well, asking Chii how her day has been, and if her belly looks a bit bigger
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems to have snuck some green beans in on the plate, too
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I did hear the Lemon is a good cook. I wonder if she can teach me a thing or two. 6He gives her a smile.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just gives Raq a small smile and he moves over and takes a seat.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> If you want!
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods. 1I like to learn all I can.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles happily. "I like to teach."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...I could judge, to make sure you're getting better."
<Kit> <Chii> Y-You heard already, Kat?
<Kit> 6Chii recoils, choking on her food and coughing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Heard what?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias picks at his food. 1"You should ask her to make her chocolate peanut butter pie.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole licks his fingers, getting the chocolate off of them.
<Kit> <Chii> You asked if my stomach--..
<Seraphna> * Peter leans back, "Judge? A food contest sounds perfect."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes a napkin to wipe Raquel's face clean
<Ariel> Raquel> *looks embarassed that she had a spot to clean* "...i-it isn't about competition... it's about learning and self improvement."
<Seraphna> Peter> "A competition is a great way to learn and improve, gives you motive."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is there something I should know?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs the side of his head slightly as he listens to Chii and Kat, taking a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* She teases, sitting
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So how's business been? 6He looks at Marcus
<Xanatos> 6* Cole looks smug now, as he finishes up his meal.
<Kit> 6Chii looks confused, then frazzles her own hair. 1"Grah, you play games as usual!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles more
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well I managed to break even this month, so that's a good thing, but unless more people start buying I may need to let someone go.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You could always sell some of our stash.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, I'm normal as far as I know." 6She puts a hand up whispering. 1"It's hard to believe I'm even pregant, considering. If it weren't for the tests."
<Seraphna> * Peter looks appraisingly between Marcus and Dias.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Most of your part is still there, but I spent a lot on the wedding and on the honeymoon.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, this means only one thing - baby showers.
<Kit> <Chii> ...What's a baby shower?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> The rest is going to the baby.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles like this: 3
<Ariel> Raquel> *looks at some of the chocolate still in her hair. She looks to Lemon* "Think I'd look good as a brunette?" *trying hard to not let the chocolate incident get to her*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You'd look pretty no matter what!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flinches slightly at the talk of baby. 1"Yeah...Well take some of my share, consider it my gift."
<Ariel> Raquel> *smiles* "Aw... thank you."
<Kit> <Chii> Kind of seems like everyone's having a kid.
<Kit> 6Chii pouts slightly. 1"Less reason to brag."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nah, you'll need it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> There's never not a reason to brag about having a baby
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts an arm around Chii
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pokes at his food. 1"I suppose I will, won't I?" 6He gives Marcus a slight smile.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods once, smirking. 1So you know how we all lost our abilities and gifts? Well I'm about as useful in battle as a monkey.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon gives Raquel a hug, and sneaks her a cookie
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's why you picked up a shotgun wasn't it? So you could hit the broadside of a barn?
<Kit> 6Chii blinks then eyes Katrina. 1"...My kid'll be cuter."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I thought it was because it looked badass.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses then drops his fork. He stands up. "I'll be right back." 6He moves to leave.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole leans slightly to the right to peer at Raquel and the cookie.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and glances up. 1Um. Alright.
<Kit> 6Key stares as Dias abrubtly leaves.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Dias, and Lemon looks worried
<Seraphna> * Peter moves onto the cake, giving Raquel a look as Cole does.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves down the hallway quickly and towards Cheryl's office.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... will he be okay? 6* She asks Marcus
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shrinks back, "...what?"
<Seraphna> * Peter sits back and takes a bite of his cake, looking at the door Dias walked out of. "Man's a wreck, unless he's usually like this."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves upto it and hits the open button.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I...dunno. I think so.
<DeathStar> 6* Secretary Blue eyes Dias enter the outside of the office
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pouts, wanting her to share.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cheryl in her office? 6He starts moving for it
<DeathStar> <Blue> Yes. The General is very busy though
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, then breaks off a third of the cookie and gives it to Cole.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole beams and takes it, nomming on it real good.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And I need to talk to her about it. 6He moves upto the door, fumbling around for the open button
<Kit> <Chii> Aw, you didn't rile at all." 6She pouts. 1"Never could shake you."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pets Chii's ears
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers up as Dias fondles her door
<Kit> <Chii> Guess that's why you did the tying.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves inside, shutting the door behind him. 1"Who all knew that X might be pregnant?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Me. Caduceus. Anyone she told. Maybe Key.
<Ariel> Raquel> *nibbles on the cookie* "This is really good... thank you, Lemon."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods to Lemon. 1She's right this is good. You sure you wouldn't like to come work for me?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I have a few more hidden in the back. But don't tell anyone
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks. "I like cooking for the team."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and slowly begins to creep towards the back.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives a slight shrug. 1Oh well.
<Seraphna> * Peter looks relieved.
<Ariel> * Raquel hugs Lemon, "You can't steal our cook."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> There's no way whoever took her could have known she'd come back pregnant. It's impossible. 6He rests his hands on a chair. 1"So it had to be someone who knew we came back, Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You don't know who all she saw about it. She might have a doctor take a look, the files get in the records, etc. It'll take me time to run leads, Dias.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Military grub normally sucks, Lemon here's a blessing."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles bashfully. "I-I'm not that good."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slips into the back and looks for the cookies.
<Seraphna> Peter> "I haven't had grub this good since I was a little kid."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a covered plate in the back
<Xanatos> 6* Cole reaches out to uncover this plate.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're right I don't but somebody was watching her the moment we got back. They could've gotten a hold of Cad's first check up report...
<Ariel> Raquel> "I think it's a safe bet we're the best fed unit in the whole military."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll get to the bottom of it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let me help...6He fidgets his hands together. 1"I can't not do anything, Cheryl."
<Seraphna> Peter> "Damn I'm lucky. Don was right."
<Kit> <Chii> Leeemon. I want cheesecake.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I promise, as soon as I find something for you to run, I will give it to you
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses, then hurries into the bak to begin making it; Cole reaches out and a mouse trap gets him
<Xanatos> <Cole> AIEEE! 6he jumps back, shaking his hands furiously.
<Kit> <Chii> This is a cool thing about being pregnant, though."
<Kit> <Chii> She'd normally do anything I ask, but now she'll really go the extra mile. Fufufu.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up at the sound, then looks to Chii, leaning in.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Poor Lemon.
<Kit> <Chii> I-- only ask for sweets. Mou.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slumps slightly. 1"I wish I was smart with computers and knew how peoples minds worked..."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at Cole, then at the cookies.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl offers a half-smile. "You'll get your shot."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole sulks, in pain.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Bad, Cole!
<Seraphna> * Peter peers towards the back.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I-I... 6He pouts, prying the thing off his hand.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stalks off to see what the fuss is about. She smirks at seeing Cole, but holds her tongue.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sounds like someone's in trouble.
<Kit> <Chii> Did he just... get caught in a mousetrap?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Shoo! 6* She shoos Cole out of the kitchen with a fork
<Xanatos> <Cole> B-But LEm!
<Seraphna> Peter> "A cooks wrath is mighty."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly pushes off the chair now. 1"I'm sorry if I bothered you...I know you'll find her, I just thought of something and...I...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you think of anything, anytime, run it by me.
<Kit> <Chii> So technically I'm not involved in missions anymore." 6She twirls a finger, smiling at Kat. 1"So you should hang around more."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, what do you do?
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon fork pokes Cole out of her kitchen
<Kit> <Chii> N-Nothing. I'm lonely. They're all poor like me, so they hang out in the base because of boarding.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hmphs and is forked out, he sulks off for his bedroom.
<Kit> <Chii> I get to laze around alone upstairs in the big ol' house.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You could laze down here, I'm su
<DeathStar> re
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You can laze with me, Chii. I'm very good at it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I will. 6He tries to force himself to relax slightly. 1"I'll have Lemon get some food ready for you."
<Kit> <Chii> I won't be coming down here after she's born.
<Seraphna> Peter> *looks over at Chii* Full time motherhood huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, reaching over to pat Dias' shoulder
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods then turns, moving back to the messhall
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm sure everyone will miss you.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs Chii's back
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Athena finishes her last song, having switched many outfits, and is currently in a glittery dress, with some sparkles on her face. She bows to everyone, thanking them for coming. Kyun claps, a strange smile on his face
<Kit> <Megumi> Amazing she remembers all of this choreography stuff.
<Chad`Winters> 6Aurora glances up at her from writing notes, then claps
<Seraphna> * Jennifer cheers, a happy look on her face.
* Chad`Winters whistles loudly as he claps.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos claps, whistling as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena does a peace sign, then bounds off as the curtains fall. Aya claps as well, smiling
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I found the dance she did to her song to be quite... provocative.
<DeathStar> *your
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh claps, Keiran raises his tendrils in joy.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron, Carter and Drasek also clap, while Kellin jumps up and claps as he bounces.
<Kit> 6Elwyn sits still and silent, just smiling, then makes an awkward expression as she eyes Kellin hopping about.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises; Kyun moves off to the side of the stage, vanishing from sight into one of the side doors
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <You should perform on stage with her for twice the cuteness.>
<Seraphna> * Jennifer gets up, stretching.
<Kit> <Megumi> N-Not happening." 6She eyes Zephyr, blushing.
<Chad`Winters> Aurora sets her notepad down and claps.
<Chad`Winters> 6Aurora sets her notepad down and claps.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances towards the side door and moves for it.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr mentally pictures it
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Xanatos, tilting her head
<Kit> <Megumi> <I do not like stages.>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <You could even wear your sex kitty outfit on it>
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves into the side door as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos would find a hall leading to the performers' rooms
<Seraphna> * Keiran glides out ahead of others, moving away. Leyaeh sits up and yawns.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves for Athena's room quickly.
<DeathStar> <Aya> So, do you think she'll get this many people next time when she charges?
<Xanatos> 6* Theron gets to his feet and moves for the exit.
<Chad`Winters> 6Aurora stands up finally and adjusts her dred dress. She grabs the notebook and moves to leave now
<Chad`Winters> I dont' see why not, it seemed the entire crowd enjoyed it.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin scrambles over the seats to get to Elwyn.
<DeathStar> 6* XAnatos would arrive to find Kyun there, talking to Athena, who's head is tilted. They both peer at Xanatos.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles. 1Great show, Athena.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks about and taps Carter's shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena beams. Kyun nods, peering at Athena. <Kyun> Yes. I hope if you ever do tour, you will think of coming to my world - we do not have such beautiful voices in our Empire. You could bring back light to my people.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter peers up after getting to his feet. 1Jen.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods slightly. 1I'm glad you enjoyed yourself Kyun.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Carter. Enjoy it?" *she grins a bit*
<Chad`Winters> What did you think of it? 6He looks at her
<DeathStar> <Aya> She's very good.
<Xanatos> <Carter> She's definitely talented, though it's not the type of music I listen too.
<Kit> <Elwyn> You really should walk the normal way, Kellin. Even if you are basically a kid.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyun nods, then takes Athena's hand, bringing it to her lips to kiss it, then moves off.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> PFft. BORing. 6He plops down beside her. 1Hi.
<Chad`Winters> She is, and she'll only get better from here out.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Hi!
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "What do you normally listen to?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos watches him move off and visibly relaxes.
<DeathStar> <Aya> She has a nice variety, too, so she can hit all types of genres.
<Kit> 6Megumi makes for Zephyr to try and put her in a headlock, her face red.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flails
<DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head at Xanatos. "Da-Da okay? "
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Did you like?
<Chad`Winters> It's to her advantage. A wider variety means a better chance that the crowd will like some part of her show.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up and nods, giving her a smile. 1Yeah. You did a good job, I think you made a lot of fans tonight.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena beams. "Had a lot of fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches Kyun exit the side areas, and move for a teleporter. She frowns
<Kit> <Megumi> Interesting..." 6She shifts to straddle Erevis, leaning in close. 1"It was fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks at Megumi, peering at her. "K-Kitten?"
<Kit> 6Megumi lies on her shoulder. 1"I want something spicey for dinner."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course. Do you have anything in particular mind?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do you think you'll want to go out and see people?
<Seraphna> * Jen peers at Carter inquistively.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods.
* Chad`Winters shifts to stand up. 1"Did you wanna go to the back and congradulate her on a show well done?
<Xanatos> <Carter> This and that. I used to be into rap.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek nudges Zephyr. 1You flail like a pro, bit.
<Kit> <Megumi> Thai spice kabobs.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr puffs her cheeks at Drasek
<Seraphna> * Jen peers at him slowly, "That's... interesting, I wouldn't have guessed. I'm kinda ecclectic myself."
<Kit> 6Elwyn nods, peering at the stage. 1"It was beautiful. And she seemed to have fun."
<Xanatos> <Carter> I imagine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, rubbing MEgumi's back. Aya nods to Chad, but as she moves down, Athena bounds out of the side room to talk to people
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles and motions for her to follow him, going for the exit to the main area.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "You do?" *she smiles a little*
<Chad`Winters> I guess that saves us the trouble. 6He smirks as he moves down with his daughter
<Xanatos> <Carter> No it's something people say when they don't have a reply.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin smiles and grabs Elwyn's hand. Bounding down for the stage.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...They do? I tend to just like what I like... my music varies depending on my mood."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slides up to Athena, talking really fast about what he liked about the show.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena beams and talks back just as fast
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek puts an arm around Zephyr and gives her a smile, moving to give Athena his report on what he thought about the show.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-591.4.4
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on the bridge, peering over data files. She isn't even three months pregnant yet at this point, so she's not showing, though a cupcake resides by her. An EarthGov vessel approaches with the new ambassador, the last to be assembled
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus stands by a dead body, holding a knife to Jennifer. "Remove the 'gallbladder'."
<Xanatos> 6* Carter stands with his arms behind his back as he watches.
<Kit> 6Elwyn stands by Carter, making a disgusted face. 1"..E-Ewww."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos appears on the teleporter. 1I heard we had a shuttle approaching.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at the body and slowly starts to make an incision.
* Chad`Winters sits in engineering, several manuals beside him still. He glances at at some terminal read outs and then over at a manual for cross reference
<Kit> <Elwyn> Sh-She's actually doing it!
<DeathStar> 6* The body makes a noise as she cuts
<Xanatos> 6* Carter slowly glances to Elwyn then looks to the body when he makes a noise. 1Did it just make a noise?
* Seraphna blinks a bit, looking at the body. "I heard it too."
<Seraphna> * jennifer
* Seraphna is now known as Jennifer
<Kit> <Elwyn> Oh my god! That wasn't me!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. The EarthGov Ambassador
<Kit> <Megumi> ...So what is the point of today's lesson, Zephyr?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What do you think the point is?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in the bar - Marcus has returned
<Chad`Winters> I'm starting to remember the basics. 6He notes to Isis as he switches his terminal screen. 1"I guess going back to Earth helped my mind remember things.
<DeathStar> <Isis> That is good! 6* She smiles warmly
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll go welcome them. 6He moves for the teleporter, hitting the earth hanger and moves forward.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> ... 6* He eyes his watch
* Jennifer sighs and moves back to her cutting, carefully opening the skin over the gallbladder, around the stomach.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits about looking glumb.
<DeathStar> 6* The body twitches
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs Marcus' back
* Chad`Winters makes a face. 1"But it appears some of the more complicated things are still out of my grasp. 6He rubs the back of his neck. "How are you coming along?"
<DeathStar> <Isis> Very slowly, I am afraid.
<Kit> <Megumi> ..." 6She eyes Zephyr, then slowly aims the shotgun at her.
<DeathStar> 6* The EarthGov vessel docks.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr jerks. "Hey!
<Kit> <Megumi> What?
* Jennifer looks at the body nervously, then breathes as she starts to remove the gallbladder, careful of the other nearby organs.
<DeathStar> 6* The younger Zephyr mimics Chad's face behind him
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's not a toy!
<DeathStar> 6* A smell emits from the body
<Xanatos> 6* Carter moves over and checks the pulse on the body.
<Kit> <Megumi> I know.
<DeathStar> 6* There's no pulse.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So stop aiming at me!
<Kit> <Elwyn> You weren't even sure it was dead!?
<Kit> <Megumi> Why?
<Jennifer> "It's dead alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puffs her cheeks, then points at the apple. "Shoot THAT."
<Xanatos> <Carter> So the body makes noises and moves even when it's dead? 6He seems fascinated.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Welcome to the world of bodily gases
* Jennifer wrinkles her nose as she extracts the organ. "They build up after death when the organs stop functioning."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus offers a smile to Kat.
<Xanatos> <Carter> She's been studying.
<Chad`Winters> She's behind me right now, mocking me, isn't she? 6He glances at Isis, maybe having said this several times now since he's not good at picking up on people yet.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> If the patient is suffering severe stomach pains after eating greasy foods, what are they likely suffering from?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods solomnly
<DeathStar> 6* The ramp lowers from the EarthGov vessel
<Kit> <Elwyn> Indigestion.
* Chad`Winters quickly spins around to eye Y. Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> The pain level is acute, lasts for several hours, and may happen even after normal foods, though typically 8-12 hours later.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> It typically occurs in over weight female.
<Jennifer> "Gall stones?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Correct.
<Kit> 6Elwyn hrmphs, crossing her arms.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Cut the bladder open
<Xanatos> <Carter> Hmm. Seems I'm on the bottom of the totem pole today.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pulls his arms behind his back, peering towards the shuttle.
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts and blasts the apple. Hey, shoot enough at it, you're bound to hit it.
<DeathStar> 6* A black man emerges from the shuttle in uniform
<Jennifer> "The gallbladder, sir?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Yes. The thing you're removing. 6* He eyes her deadpanned
* Jennifer holds the gallbladder in her hand, apparently not squeamish. She carefully makes the next cut to open up the organ.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over and adjusts Megumi's aim
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tilts his head slightly, arching a brow.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I hit the apple.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside are stones and mush
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, and anything else near it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aim like this
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns to face Xanatos
<Xanatos> 6* Carter leans forward to peer.
<Jennifer> "Gallstones."
<Chad`Winters> I swear I'm going to have to put tack weld a bell to you.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Gordon Paladin? Well this is a pleasant surprise. Welcome back.
<DeathStar> <Young Zephyr> And then who would help train you to notice things?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. He hands over the documents showing he's the ambassador
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well let's get you to your zone, shall we?
* Jennifer extracts one of the stones on her knife.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods again
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves for the teleporter, leading Paladin to his zone
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Now that's just gross. 6* He notes, then moves for his office. "Remove and study the organs, too, and list anything you see out of the ordinary."
<Chad`Winters> Valid point. 6He puts an arm around Y. Zephyr and motions to the data, reading off basic engineering know how.
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes Chad, deadpanning
<Xanatos> <Carter> Is this the cause of death?
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Lord, I hope not. That would just suck. 6* He says, shutting the door
<Jennifer> "I think that's what we need to find out. Autopsy time."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin follows. He seems to be peering around, as if to see if someone was there
<Chad`Winters> Competition breeds geniuses and I fear that Isis here is becoming stagnant.
<Chad`Winters> 6He winks at Isis
<DeathStar> 6* Isis blinks, recoiling
<DeathStar> <Young Zephyr> Uh huh
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> So, do you think you'll put Elwyn on full time?
<Xanatos> 6* Mum stands outside of Paladin's zone, holding a basket.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm not sure, money is kinda tight right now.
* Jennifer looks at Carter, she actually looks excited. She puts the organ safely to oneside with the knife.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin smiles warmly. "Hello, Mum."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Athena likes working with her. 6* She notes
<Kit> <Elwyn> Yeeeeah. I can't do this.
<Xanatos> <Carter> I'll just watch. 6He notes, as he shifts to watch her.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers between them and nods. 1Let me know if you need anything. 6he moves off while Mum smiles. 1Hello, Gordon!
<Kit> 6Elwyn makes another face. 1"Jen's gross." 6She bleghs, moving for the exit.
* Jennifer blinks a bit. "Something wrong?"
<Kit> 6Megumi hrmphs, then readjusts her posture and fires again.
* Chad`Winters smirks slightly. 1"You don't think you can handle some of this stuff?"
<DeathStar> <Young Zephyr> I'm not that smart.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles, swatting her rear. "Nice."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leads her into his zone, probably for some personal time
<Chad`Winters> Well I suppose I could get you a broom...6He taps his chin, thinking
<DeathStar> 6* Ao speaks up behind MEgumi. "She'd need a shotgun to hit anything."
<DeathStar> 6* The younger Zephyr elbows Chad
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well. I don't know what we're going to do then.
* Jennifer shrugs and starts to open up the corpse to check the organs, "It's just a body, this is what we're supposed to be learning."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I could take a pay cut if it helps
<Xanatos> <Carter> I'm very hands off.
<Kit> 6Megumi leaps a good distance in the air and whirls in the process like a cat, squealing.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait, you get paid!? 6He gives her a sneaky look.
* Chad`Winters hurks, coughing at that. 1"Fine, then I suppose I can teach you the fundamentals. Smart or not, the day you decide you can no longer learn anything is the day you die.
<DeathStar> 6* As Jen works, she'd notice the guy has a hard on, even in death
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmmm. 6* She narrows her eyes
<Kit> <Megumi> A-Aonee!?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Then again, I suppose you take the same approach with sex - poke at it with the largest thing you can find to achieve results
* Jennifer looks over it a moment and sighs, "Rigormortis."
<Xanatos> <Carter> Well at least we know he died happy. Or maybe lonely. God knows he didn't see you before he kicked the bucket.
<Kit> 6Megumi moves to grab her in a hug, the shotgun disappearing, then jerks moving back slightly.
<Kit> <Megumi> I-- that was insulting! Zephyr! Find me a carrot!
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I might have to give an overall pay cut and see if everyone will be okay with that. Maybe drop it to 400.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao smiles, then narrows her eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, moving off with a smile
* Jennifer looks around at him and frowns.
<Kit> <Megumi> Today we shall see who is the real victor of the vegetable!
<DeathStar> 6* ERevis dozes on the bridge
<DeathStar> 6* Ao flicks Megumi's nose.
<Xanatos> <Carter> Let's quicken the pace here, I have plans later.
<Kit> <Megumi> O-Ow!
<Jennifer> "What was that supposed to mean?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos leans over Erevis and lightly gives her a kiss on the forehead.
<DeathStar> <Ao> So, I hear Erevis is getting more pregnant and needs me to do Bridge Duty again
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stirs, reaching up to take Xan's arm and hold it
<Kit> 6Megumi puffs her cheeks. 1"That is the only reason you are here?"
<DeathStar> <Ao> I WAS on vacation
* Chad`Winters rustles Y.Zephyrs hair and he looks over at Isis. 1"How are things coming back for you?
<Xanatos> <Carter> Oh this isn't news. Don't start that.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and glances down at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Young Zephyr seems to be plotting
<DeathStar> <Isis> Still slowly. 6* She sighs
* Jennifer looks back at the corpse, checking over organs. "What are you talking about?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rests her head against the arm
<Xanatos> <Carter> I was being mean but it's hardly any fun when you play dumb.
<DeathStar> 6* The liver looks like it was dranked to death. Possiblely from going to the bar every weekend
<Kit> <Megumi> Well, yes... the baby for the Jones' is progressing.
<Jennifer> "Liver was shot... hmm? I know you were being mean, you're that a lot."
<DeathStar> <Ao> I see. I guess soon you will have to give Xanatos his sexual needs
<Chad`Winters> Does this mean I get to give you post it notes finally? 6He looks at her, a teasing look on hi sface
<DeathStar> <Isis> We do seem to be on the same level.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets out a sigh but doesn't seem to have the hear to wake her.
<Kit> <Megumi> Wh-What?! No!
<DeathStar> <Ao> That's your job, isn't it?
<Xanatos> NRP: heart
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks when something beeps, letting them know a fight has broken out in the casino
<Xanatos> <Carter> Does it hurt your feelings?
<Kit> <Megumi> How do you figure?!
* Chad`Winters smirks slightly. 1"Hopefully it'll be enough that I can keep this job until I start remembering the rest.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and leans forward, issuing SPoC to take care of it.
<Kit> 6Elwyn moves to sit on the barstool she usually resides on
<DeathStar> 6* Ao just smiles
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hello Elwyn.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Elwyn, smiling. "So, Elwyn..." 6* She nudges Marcus
<Jennifer> "This is why I avoid drinking... well one reason..." *she looks over the liver* "Not really, I was curious at the jab is all, are you commenting on my looks or the fact that I don't put out?"
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC relays the message and send sit out to her current staff to deal with.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Hey, guys. Welcome back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmmmm.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki slowly peeks his head out of the casino office at the commotion
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at a monitor, where the ambassadors are gathered in a meeting to discuss things. Due to the privacy, they can't hear what's being said, but Kyun is addressing the assembly. Paladin isn't there yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Two old ladies are beating each other up
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm going to talk to the other girls and see if they'll be okay with a pay decrease, and if so then you're hired. But it'll only be for 400.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances from the monitor to her. 1Good morning.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... did I sleep her all night? 6* She pauses, peering side to side
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki sighs and while placing bets on the outcome, sends two of his security guards to break them up and offer them both a free pass to the all you can eat buffet
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> A few minutes at the most.
<Kit> 6Megumi flusters, eyeing Ao. 1"Maybe you should."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She eyes Kyun with narrowed eyes, looking like she wishes she could order cHIP to spy
<Chad`Winters> Any plans for tonight, Isis?
<DeathStar> <Ao> And make Erevis jealous?
<DeathStar> <Isis> Not tonight
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We have to be neutral, as hard as that may be. 6he says with a sigh.
<Jennifer> * Jennifer puts an intestine sample aside to jot some notes in shorthand.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is plotting something. He even joined Athena's Fan Club.
<Chad`Winters> Well, I'm still no cook, but would you want to come over and join, Fi, Aya, Dawn, the runt and I for supper?
<DeathStar> <Young Zephyr> I'm not a runt!
<Xanatos> <Carter> Your looks. IF I wanted something from you, I'm fairly certain I could get it from you.
<DeathStar> <Isis> That would be nice. Thank you
<Jennifer> "You asked me the first day we met, remember?" *she inspects the heart, working while she talks*
* Chad`Winters smirks. 1"You sure?" 6He looks at Isis. "I can't cook yet, but I'll order in some food for Marcus's place."
<Xanatos> <Carter> That was before I found out you were a child.
<DeathStar> <Isis> It sounds nice. Should I invite Athena?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm keeping an eye on him. But just let me worry about it, alright?
* Chad`Winters thinks or a moment then nods. 1"Yeah, have her bring a dessert." He looks at Y. Zephyr. 1"Anything you'd want?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... it is difficult to do so
<DeathStar> <Young Zephyr> I like her pie
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's what I'm here for isn't it?
<Jennifer> "I'm six years younger then I look, and handling the same things you are, I'm not a child. I'm nearing 18 and 17 is already an adult legally." *she moves on to the lungs*
<DeathStar> 6* Kyun finishes his speech to claps and he moves to sit down
<Xanatos> <Carter> Legally, maybe. But I've learned that just because you're legally able to fuck, doesn't mean you mentally are able.
* Chad`Winters nods to Isis. 1"You heard the runt."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Elwyn's lack of a response to the job
<DeathStar> <Isis> Y-Yes, I did. 6* The younger Zephyr makes a face at Chad
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I think that's a no. 6He whispers.
* Chad`Winters smirks then turns to look at Y. Zephyr, an innocent look on his face. 1"What?"
<Jennifer> "I learned that too... it's why I wasn't going to do it either way." *she starts to go lower*
<DeathStar> <Young Zephyr> Just wait
<DeathStar> 6* Yes, much lower
<DeathStar> <ERevis> Yes. You are correct
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mansion Base
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to the vehicles, in uniform, wearing sunglasses. She holds a datapad in one hand, moving past Cole in the hallways, eyeing him, then thumbing at him. "Come with me."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and then falls into step with her. 1What's up, Chief?
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon works on teaching Raquel how to make cookies
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just a minor lead to follow involving X. It's nothing big, so there's no need to get the team organized
<Xanatos> <Cole> Alright. 6He says with a nod, putting his hands in his pockets.
<Jennifer> * Peter makes his way to a training area.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl passes Peter, thumbing at him to follow.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets see if you can handle this assignment. 6* She notes, her tone indicating failure means firing
<Jennifer> * Peter turns and follows her and Cole.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans against one of his weight bags as he tries to push it across the training room floor. He's been spending more and more time here as time has passed without any leads
<Jennifer> Peter> "Alright ma'am."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets into her a car, powering it up
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hops into the passenger's seat.
<Jennifer> * Peter gets in the back.
<DeathStar> 6* A HoloVid in the training area talks about endorsing Hans Tucker for President, citing how Cran vanished for months and is unreliable
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the radio play the same speech endorsing Tucker. She begins to drive them out
<Xanatos> <Cole> You think Cran even has a chance against this guy?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Now you take the dough and put it evenly on the pan
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls loudly as he pushes with both hands now, moving it slowly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's a Cran
<Jennifer> * Peter listens between the two, sitting back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets them on the streets, where a billboard of Hans can be seen, saying vote for him. The ad shows Kane's face and goes "Do we even know anything about this guy?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> Not to be rude, but that really doesn't mean anything to me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess in your reality, he'd be before your time.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Probably. I'm not much of a history buff.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anyway, on the video feeds you gave me, I noticed a black van that left about 4 hours before the explosion. Running some leads on it, I discovered it was stolen and the van just turned up at the docks. I thought we'd check it out; I doubt there's any clues, but it's something
<Ariel> 6* Raquel carefully makes even sized clumps, perhaps being too careful about sizing
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses her datapad to send Dias a timed message to his datapad
<Xanatos> <Cole> Even the most unlikely places can turn up something.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias falls to his knee as the bag stops moving. He breathes heavilly now as he kneels there.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's why it's worth a look. 6* She pushes her sunglasses up to rub ta her eyes, which have bags under them from lack of sleep
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon smiles softly. "You don't have to be precise. What is important is the feeling of love as you put it down, knowing it'll become something yummy for others to eat."
<Xanatos> <Cole> You know, you should have let me help. 6He points out.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' datapad beeps.
<Jennifer> * Peter moves his gaze down behind the seats, closing his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your robot buddy said there wasn't anything on the videos of significance; I figured you two had looked
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes a deep breathe as he looks over at his datapad. He winces as he ushes himself up and he moves for it. He hits a button on it and read sthe message
<DeathStar> 6* It's a mission order to go interview a guy who's van was stolen three days before teh explosion at X's apartment. Just to get any info he can remember about the van, the day it was taken, etc. And to take one other person with him
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, loosening up, "So... it's not completely technique?"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a face. 1Even still, we missed it, but more people may have noticed something sooner.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I go with emotions
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I've had a team at the Executive Building going over it for weeks
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes it then runs his hand through his hair as he slows his breathing down. He grabs a towel and wipes his face clean then moves for the messhall
<Jennifer> * Peter raises his brows in surprise, before looking up and opening his eyes.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Alright, alright. I getcha. I'm here so don't hesitate to use me. That's all.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I won't. You're here now, aren't you?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the messhall, glancing around
<Xanatos> <Cole> Touche.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The van wans't even in the frame for 10 seconds. It may just be someone joyrode by the building
<Ariel> Raquel> "Emotion... okay. I can work with that..."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods, a firey passion in her eyes
<Xanatos> <Cole> Or they just made a mistake.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls up near the docks.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves into the kitchen part and looks at Lemon and Raquel. 1"Hey, I had to interupt but Cheryl needs to me check out a lead and she want someone with me."
<Jennifer> "Could be anything."
<Jennifer> * Peter>
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers over. "Do you want me to come?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts them in park, getting out of the van. A few cops are there to keep the area sealed off from others; one black cop is eating a donut, over weight.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I guess I'm fine with either one of you.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods; despite the fact she's in her maid outfit, she moves to join Dias
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slides out and shuts the door, peering around. He moves forward.
<Jennifer> * Peter gets out, fixing his jacket as he moves over to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shows the cop her ID, then pockets it. She begins to discuss something with the cop, who nods, handing her a card, which she holds out to Cole
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Thanks. Raq, keep cooking and make us something good to eat. 6He gives her a smile and moves off with Lemon to the vehicles
<Xanatos> 6* Cole takes the card, peering it over.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pouts, "I can't come?"
<Kit> 6Key pokes Lemon in the back again.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be a card to get something out of impound
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon grabs Key in a hug, putting Key's face in her chest. "The more the better, right?" 6* She asks Dias
<Kit> 6Key mumbles something incoherant to Lemon's chest.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and puts the card in his pocket. 1Where's the van?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I bought the car - they sell that stuff after a month. When you pick it up, make sure a box I have is still in the glove compartment. It's important.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe...Cheryl said I was supposed to bring one more person but the more the merrier I guess.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves ahead past the police tape
<Kit> 6Key gives a thumbs up mumbling something else.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Wait, you want me to go get it now?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Afterwards
<Ariel> 6* Raquel puts the cookie dough in the fridge so it'll be good to cook, and hurries after Dias and Lemon
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oh. Of course. 6he nods and mvoes after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon carries Key to the vehicles.
<Jennifer> * Peter moves with them both.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves into a van and starts it up. He glances at the datpad for the address.
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead a black van can be seen at the edge of the dock. It looks like the cops poked around it, but didn't open it up
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be in a residential area
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hops in the back of the van, letting someone else take shotgun
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints, then eyes a warehouse a bit nearby. "You and Peter cehck out the warehouse. See if they used it for anything."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon gets in the back as well
<Xanatos> <Cole> Alright. Wait for us before you go opening that up. 6He nods to Pete and moves for the warehouse.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias backs up then takes off, heading down the tunnel to get into Megacity and then to the address
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots
<Jennifer> * Peter nods and moves for the warehouse.
<Kit> 6Key sits on Lemon's lap, bouncing slightly. 1"Something to do with X, right!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over to the van, probably ignoring him; she uses her datapad to scan it
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I don't know.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah. 6He ignores hte speed, going slightly faster then the normal.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peeks into the warehouse, peering around slowly as he moves in. 1Cypher, scan the area for abnormalities
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, eyeing her datapad, then taps the comm. "I'm detecting something from the van, building up; it's odd, since the police were all over this thing and got nothing." 6* She kneels to peer under the van
<Jennifer> * Peter moves behind Cole, letting him lead the way.
<DeathStar> 6* The warehouse seems to have a lot of crates, the doors leading into it are chained
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and clicks his comm. 1You should get back, we don't know what that might be.
<Xanatos> 6Cole moves for the doors and moves to remove them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on Comm> And if it's a bomb, we might lose evidence. I--the hell. I think it activated it when it detected me. I'm getting trace-- 6* There's a loud explosion from the docks
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and the others reach the residential area, with the man's house a bit down the street they're on
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks. 1Cheryl! 6He hisses and turns, running back fr the explosion.
<Jennifer> * Peter looks back at the docks, pulling out a gun. He runs with Cole. "The hell..."
<DeathStar> 6* The cops hurry forward, but half the dock is gone now in a fireball. The fat cop pants, his donut dropped. "W-We were all over that thing. It was perfectly safe."
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots a warning. There appears to be something massive in the air, similiar to an EMP, but modified.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's the house of the guy that reported his van stolen three days before X's disappearance. 6He pulls over a two houses down.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> What does the van have to do with X?
<Xanatos> <Cole> IT reacted to her. 6He notes and peers around quickly. 1What the hell is that Cyph?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Doot doot. (I think it was a modified EMP bomb)
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shows Lemon the message he got from Cheryl
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gets out of the van and shuts the door.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tchs and peers around quickly. 1Can you even sense Cheryl in that mesS?
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots something is in the waters
<Jennifer> Peter> "Some kind of trap set for her then? How'd they know." *he looks about the docks and water*
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon climbs out, letting Key go
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and hands Cypher to Cole then leaps to dive in.
<Xanatos> NRP: Peter
<Kit> <Key> Interrogate!?" 6She stands beside Lemon, swaying.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods to Lemon and moves for the house.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to see the message before Dias gets out, then hurries after, "Talk to nicely Key... he hasn't done anything wrong. That we know of."
<Jennifer> * Peter looks down at Cypher, then Cole leaping in.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves upto the door and knocks on it.
<Kit> 6Chii massively annoys Cole trying to contact him
<DeathStar> 6* Colephantus would sink, and see a bloodied figure in the water, floating near the bottom; Cheryl's uniform is torn to pieces
<Kit> <Key> But..
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No buts at all Key.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a face and swims towards her, then quickly move to get to the surface when actually would get her.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and a middle aged man peers out, blinking. He's slightly balding, and is wearing what appears to be an ordinary outfit
<DeathStar> 6* Colephantus surfaces; Cheryl doesn't appear to be breathing, but then Dragoons don't need to
<Jennifer> Peter> "Get them out of that water!" *he motions at the cops* "Medic!"
<Xanatos> <Cole> Cypher! Line! 6He calls out.
<Kit> 6Chii continues assaulting Colephantus' communication methid!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hi, we're with the Megacity Police. You had you're vehicle stolen 3 days ago, right?
<DeathStar> 6* The cops have already contacted paramedics.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher turns and shoots a line out of his butt like a spider
<DeathStar> <Man> It was a couple of weeks ago
<Jennifer> * Peter looks down at Cypher. "You need to brace on anything?" *he looks around*
<DeathStar> 6*Cypher has already attached to Peter's arm
<Xanatos> 6* Cole shift to wrap around himself and peers towards Cheryl with a frown, he tugs to let them no he's ready.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher tugs Peter to begin pulling
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A few weeks ago? 6He pats himself down then looks at Lemon. 1"Can you remember that for me?"
<Jennifer> * Peter braces himself and starts pulling the line.
<Kit> <Key> Few weeks ago!
<DeathStar> <Lemon> His vehicle was stolen 3 days before the explosion. Which was... 6* She rattles off the date, which was 3.17, and now it's 4.4
<DeathStar> 6* The guy eyes Lemon's outfit, then Dias. "You're...with the cops?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What do you all remember about it?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, we're just trying to make sure we have all our facts straight.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher retracts the line as well, making Peter do all the heavy work
<DeathStar> <Man> Can I see identification? 6* He notes
<Xanatos> 6* Cole reaches out to grab the dock once he gets close enough to help Pete by pulling them up.
<DeathStar> 6* An ambulance drives up and paramedics get out. One looks like the guy from Heroes
<Jennifer> * Peter pulls with them up.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole lays Cheryl out and lets out a breath, reaching out to check for a pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* It's weak
<Kit> <Key> Key not a cop...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns slightly and he reaches into his back pocket, pulling out his military ID. 1"We're actually part of Earthgov Military and we're following a lead on your van."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Her pulse is weak. 6He tells the paramedics once they get close. 1Her name is Cheryl, she's a dragoon.
<Kit> <Key> Right!
<DeathStar> 6* He eyes the ID, then Dias, frowning more, but speaks. "I had my van parked outside a grocery store while I was in shopping." 6* He rattles off the name and address. "I was in there for about 45 minutes, and when I got out, it was stolen, so I reported it to the cops."
<Jennifer> Peter> "General..." *he murmurs as he looks between Cheryl and the Paramedics, staying clear*
<DeathStar> 6* They kneel. "How do we treat a dragoon?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> Cypher send Chii a message to let her know what's going on. 6He lifts up his comm and pages Ariel. 1I'll find out in a moment.
<Kit> 6Chii assaults Cole's comm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher sends Chii a series of doots
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And nobody wtinessed it being taken?
<DeathStar> <Man> You'd have to ask the cops. They weren't very helpful
<Kit> <Key> Others just assume thief owner!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Do you remember their names?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole keeps spamming Ariel's comm, letting out a sigh. 1DO you have nanites?
<DeathStar> 6* He gives two names he 'thinks' is right
<DeathStar> <Paramedic> Not on hand.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Lemon. 1"Anything else you think we should ask?
<DeathStar> 6* They pause as Cheryl flatlines, then get out the paddles, shocking her
<Xanatos> <Cole> Fuck. 6He rubs his head, comming Alexander or Eve, whoever will answer.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> This information has the license plate. I guess not.
<Jennifer> * Peter looks over over from staring at Cypher.
<DeathStar> 6* Cole is sent to Kane.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Doot doot doot (Your wife is flatlining. They're shocking her. Not working)
<Ariel> 6* Ariel goes to answer the comm, and finds it stop ringing just as she reaches. Always when she's in the shower.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his head as he thinks. 1"If you think of anything else, contact me anytime. Thank you for your time."
<DeathStar> 6* The man nods, gives them all a weird look, and closes the door
<Ariel> 6* Raquel considers asking for more specifics of where it was taken, but the police would have that.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole explains to Kane the situation and Kane promptly transfers to Eve since he doesn't know, cuasing cole to rage
<Jennifer> Peter> "They sure that shocking isn't making it worse?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts to head back for the van, his hands resting in his pockets
<DeathStar> <Paramedic> We've got a pulse. <Cypher> Doot doot (They shocked a pulse into her)
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon follows.
<Kit> 6Chii replies about something along the lines of shocking the pulse out of them
<DeathStar> 6* Eve answers. "I'm afraid I don't know, either, Cole. You should get her to the hospital and we'll get a team gathered."
<Jennifer> Peter> "...Good." *he rubs his head* "We'll get a specialist, we should get her to a hospital in the meantime."
<Xanatos> <Cole> ... 6He lets out a breath, rubbing his head. 1Let's get her to the hospital.
<DeathStar> 6* The paramedics move to lift Cheryl up into the ambulance.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe a surveillance camera caught something near the grocery store.
<Ariel> Raquel> *moves for the Van* "...think we're lucky enough for it to be on security?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> The cops would have checked for that, likely.,
<Xanatos> 6* Cole motions for Pete and Cypher to go with Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias get's insid the van and starts it up. 1"Unless they were paid to hide it."
<Xanatos> <Cole on Comm> Thanks Eve. We're going there now.
<Jennifer> * Peter nods and gets in the ambulance.
<DeathStar> 6* A group of reports arrive and begin to film as they transfer Cheryl.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves for the van they came in and gets in, starting it up, he pulls out.
<Kit> 6Chii freaks out on Cypher as she starts seeing her on the news.
<DeathStar> 6* In fact, they're going live, as HoloVids begin to show the information right away.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses, peering at her datapad, having asked it to pick up anything regarding family, then shows it to Dias
<Jennifer> * Peter frowns and moves to get in their way. Trying to keep CHeryl out of camera view.
<Kit> 6Chii comms Lemon at that point
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We should head...6He pauses as he looks at the datapad. His eyes going wide, then panic appearing on his face. 1"Where are they taking her?"
<DeathStar> 6* The reporter stammers about having gotten a lead that EarthGov's top General was just killed in action, and as you ca nsee, it looks dire
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I--- 6* She answers Chii. "Mistress, are you okay"
<Kit> <Chii> SHE'S DEAD!? OH MY GOD, THEY JUST SAID SHE'S DEAD!!
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I-I'm sure she's fine. C-Can you feel her in the bond?
<Kit> <Chii> It's been offline for a while!!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Lemon, where are they taking her?
<DeathStar> 6* The ambulance pulls off, the sirens going. The reporter keeps going on about the information about Cheryl
<Jennifer> Peter> "The hell was the press doing here." *he says under his breath as he gets in with Cheryl*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I don't know. 6* She tries to comfort Chii
<Kit> 6Chii sniffles, saying the name of the hospital on the reports.
<Ariel> Raquel> "W-wait, what..."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon reports it to Dias
<Jennifer> * Peter looks over Cheryl, then at Cypher, "Any ideas?"
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Doot
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts the van in gear and takes off, heading for hte hospital
<Kit> <Key> Cherry Lemonade dead now?
<Kit> 6Chii hears that and wails to Lemon
<DeathStar> <Lemon> N-No! Mistress, have faith! Mistress Cheryl is strong
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks ready to freak out herself
<Kit> <Key> Lemonade look worried.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the hazards on as he flies through traffic now
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ...
<Kit> <Chii> You're worried!? See! You're not even sure!
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Hospital
<DeathStar> 6* A bit later, Cheryl's still being worked on, despite it being two hours; the team has been given no information. An interview with Tucker is going on on a HoloVid, discussing the attack on the General, and how Alexander's poor choice of putting 'family' into key positions has backfired. Literally
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is there, having come once he learned, as is Eve.
<Kit> 6Chii paces frantically, having apparently jacked the motorcycle Cole/Key acquired to be there.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias paces, his left hand upto his mouth as he bites on his nails.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon tries to comfort her
* Ariel arrived as soon as she heard about the attack, and has taken to pacing anxiously.
<Kit> 6Key sits staring at them all with a slight sorrowful look.
<Jennifer> Peter> "Stench of a god damned rat seems to be growing by the hour now." *he eyes the news*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane stands there, standing by Lemon and Chii, looking like he wants to comfort them both.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks, bumping into Ariel. She jerks, pointing.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I gathered all the information on the mission. Cheryl had noticed 3 days ago the stolen vehicle, and had us looking into it. This morning the cops discovered it on the docks, and we sent the information to her
<Kit> <Chii> PACE ON YOUR SIDE, STABBY LADY!"
<Ariel> "My side?"
<DeathStar> <Eve> At the time we weren't sure if there was even a connection, so it was considered low priority.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This is my fault...6He turns, kicking into a garbage can.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole comes walking up to the others. 1Is she okay?
<Jennifer> Peter> "Press arrived damn fast if you ask me."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs Ariel's shoulder.
<Ariel> Raquel> "You... you didn't do anything, Dias..."
* Ariel sighs, incredibly tense with all this.
<Kit> <Key> Dias blow up Cherry Lemonade?" 6She looks questioning.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The fact she made an inquery and then the van turned up... it may have been a trap
<Jennifer> * Peter looks up at Cole and gives him a shrug. "Still working on it."
<Kit> 6Chii looks over, watering up, sniffling
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's in there because of me, Raquel. 6He points towards the operating room. 1"She's spent the last few weeks constantly looking for something to the point she's exhausted herself.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his chin slowly. 1From what I understand, I'm almost certain it was a trap.
<DeathStar> <Eve> But only those in your unit and our building knew about it
<Jennifer> Peter> "There's no may have been... it was all set up."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah. Someone's playing the other team and I aim to find out whot hat is.
<Kit> <Chii> We have... a spy..!? Again!?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole holds out his arm for Cypher.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at Peter.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Eve. 1"Then it has to be someone in your building or ours.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher leaps onto the arm, attaching
<Jennifer> * Peter holds out his harm to let Cypher go.
<DeathStar> <Eve> We have a lot of employees, mind you
<Xanatos> <Cole> We have 2 new ones. 6He points out.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel slowly glances at Peter. The new guy.
<Kit> <Chii> The blue girl and Peewee.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Miss Blue would know everything Cheryl did.
<Jennifer> * Peter looks back up at the newscast. He then gets the feeling and looks at the others. "...What? I didn't even know about the mission until CHeryl dragged me out on it."
<Kit> <Key> Secretary and Stalker!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And ever one of them could be behind this all
* Ariel shakes her head, "If this is because of /politics/..."
<Chad`Winters> NRP; any
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. It's possible it could be the Miss Blue. But there's no proof, is there?
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots, taking a peek in COle's pocket at a box
<Jennifer> "Tucker is working this all to his favor."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...could fire them both and see if the leaks continue?"
<Jennifer> Peter>
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and glances to Cypher. 1That's cheryl's.
<Kit> <Chii> If this is politics, I'll kill anyone involved!!
* Ariel nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher points at Chii, dooting he bets it's a love gift
<DeathStar> <Darien> It is a tense political time. People are going to be watching Cran harder now
<Xanatos> 6* Cole nods and hands it out to Chii. 1Here, I got this for Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks, blinking at it. 1"Wh-What..? Is this really the time.?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> I don't know what it is, but it might have been for you.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. 6He's considering something as he watches them all.
<Jennifer> Peter> "She seemed to think that was important."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans against a wall. 1"The van was stolen from a grocery store, maybe a surveillance camera caught something...The guy made it sound like the police didn't care that much.
<DeathStar> 6* A doctor steps out
<Ariel> Raquel> "I... I did suggest checking that..."
* Ariel looks up abruptly, "How is she?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers towards the doctor.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes off the wall as he looks at the doctor
<Jennifer> * Peter looks over.
<Kit> 6Chii frowns, then takes it to open it.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> The .... weapon used seemed to be design to target Dragoons specifically. Mostly...their mind and motor functions. Like an EMP on a machine. Her physical injures stemmed from the car explosion.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside is a pair of fox earrings, with one having a yin symbol and the other 'yang'. And a small necklace with two parts for pictures
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She'll recover tho, right?
<DeathStar> <Doctor> She'll recover, but we can't know the extent of her damage to her mind.
<Jennifer> * Peter puts a hand to his forehead.
<Kit> 6Chii calmly closes the box again, twitching slightly as she peers over at the doctor.
<Kit> <Chii> You're a doctor, aren't you..!? Fix it!
<Xanatos> <Kane> Thank you doctor.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She'll recover.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> The brain isn't something you can fix, Miss. It takes time.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thankfully she has a bond partner that can help speed it up
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the doctor. 1"She'll recover."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon hugs Chii softly.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a face and sighs, mumbling something.
<Kit> <Chii> I've fixed it before." 6She sniffs, glaring.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor eyes Dias, gives him a pitying look, then nods. "She's being moved to a private room. You can speak to her there."
<DeathStar> 6* He steps off.
* Ariel closes her eyes. She seems a bit relieved... it could have been a LOT worse.
<Jennifer> * Peter crosses his arms and lets out a breath.
<DeathStar> <Eve> ... 6* She peers at Kane. It's clear someone will have to lead the unit until Cheryl recovers.
<DeathStar> 6* A nurse moves over to lead them to the room
<Kit> <Key> So.. Cherry Lemonade live?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Eve and rubs his neck slightly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Eve and Alex. 1"I'm not good at any of the technical stuff but, I'm not going to let anyone else get hurt over this. If you can point me in the right direction, I'll do the rest from there.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I don't know if there is a 'right' direction, Dias.
<DeathStar> <Eve> We have a team combing the docks now, though
<Xanatos> <Kane> Cheryl was grasping at straws and someone knew that and used it to their advantage.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives Ariel's shoulder a squeeze, moving to follow the nurse
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> The only lead we have to go off of is where the van was stolen.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hugs Dias, not saying anything. But it's pretty clear he has her support.
<Kit> <Chii> No, this was a specific straw. We're dealing with a tactician." 6She narrows her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> It sound as if they wanted Mistress out of the way specifically. Perhaps they saw her as a threat?
* Ariel moves slowly, trying hard to keep a calm exterior.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Let's check on Cheryl for now. Then we will go from there after that.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... or wish to cripple our unit from looking into it
<Jennifer> * Peter frowns in frustration.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And if that's a dead end, I'll personally question Blue then Peter and if that gives me nothing. I'll work from top to bottom in your building
<DeathStar> <Eve> Dias, you can't just question people. The government and military has a way to deal with things
<DeathStar> <Eve> We can't let you conduct your own personal investigation
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And it hasn't gotten us anywhere yet.
<Jennifer> * Peter raises a brow. "I'm right here you know."
<Kit> <Chii> It might not be an inside job, to begin with. If they can plan this well, then they might be expecting you to waste time with the combing search and the bureacracy.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I'm afraid we can't afford to let you run all over the place questioning everyone.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Give us time to investigate, and put someone in charge of your unit to handle this properly
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops outside the door, and opens it. Cheryl is inside, awake, peering at things like the HoloVid, like someone who's never seen it before
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves off to check on Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii shoves around Darien. 1"Cherry!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And I can't sit by while X is out there with my child having god knows what done to her. 6He clenches his fists.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I understand your frustration
<Xanatos> <Kane> Dias you will just make things worth if you go maverick. You should listen to us.
<Jennifer> * Peter waits outside the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, eyeing Chii and leaning back as if not sure what to make of ehr
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And they aren't worse already? 6He eyes Kane as he moves for Cheryl's room
<Kit> 6Chii freezes, looking hurt. 1"..."
<Xanatos> <Kane> No. They could be much worse.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Um... ... hello? You have weird ears.
<Kit> <Chii> N-No...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans forward, eyeing the ears curiously, looking a bit like Lemon now in expressions
<DeathStar> 6* She touches her own ears while staring
<Xanatos> 6* Cole waits outside, giving them space.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps inside the room, not bothering shutting it since he'd probably slame it shut. He moves over to Cheryls bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is quiet as he watches
<Jennifer> * Peter peers over at Cole.
<Kit> 6Chii steps back out of the room, leaning against the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches her go, looking disappointed
* Ariel frowns, trying to keep a calm face. But it obviously pains her to see Cheryl like this.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Eve and begins to talk to her quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon touches Chii's shoulder, then gives her a hug. "She'll get better..."
<Kit> <Chii> I'm staying here.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias reaches down to take Cheryls hand. 1"I'm sorry about all this Cheryl. I really am. But I'm going to make everything right."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks at the touch, eyeing Dias in confusion. "Do I ... know you? You have a weird hair color. Are you in a punk band?"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes Ariel and motions her inside.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks her in the yes. 1"Yeah you know me. I'm Dias. I've always been there for you when you needed me.
<Kit> <Chii> Of course she'll get better. She's Cherry." 6She sniffles. 1"In the meantime, find the bastard!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smiles.
* Ariel bites her lip, finding it hard to move further than the door, without letting out tears.
<Kit> <Chii> You don't even have to catch him. Just figure out who it is. I'll rip them apart, no matter what.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's likely she's just been temporarily wiped like a tape, Chii. She'll get the information back slowly
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just like you always been there for me, but this time it's my turn to return the favor. I'll find out who did this to you and I'll make them pay. And then I'll find X and bring her back.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Darien slowly, not having all that much experience with him, her eyes flashing red.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares blankly, but nods slowly
<Jennifer> * Peter leans over, peering in a moment.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The more you discuss things with her, the more likely she will be to remember.
<Kit> <Chii> It's why I'm staying, dumbass!
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just offering advice. 6* He shrugs, moving off
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I need you to be strong for now, alright?
* Ariel moves to sit next to the bed, holding her tongue until Dias has said his piece.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kay. 6* She salutes
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias smirks slightly and he leans over, giving her a hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps up to KAne and Eve. He gives...the Darien look!
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Tue Nov 17 23:44:20 2009

* Chad`Winters walks along the marketplace, stopping infront of a store to peer inside through teh store front
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
* Chad`Winters moves inside the store.
* Chad`Winters stops infront of some clothes and thumbs through them.
* Jennifer heads into the marketplace, looking about before she heads into the same store.
* Chad`Winters moves over to some jewelry and peers it over.
* Jennifer hops close and smiles. "Shopping, Mr. Winters?"
* Chad`Winters eyes her invading her personal space and he shifts to make space. 1"I'm looking around, yes."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: his
* Jennifer blinks and politely backs up a little herself. "How was Earth?"
<Chad`Winters> It was Earth. 6He notes, not one to talk about his personal endeavors to people who aren't close to him.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena sneaks up behind Chad, then attempts to leap at him
<Jennifer> "Oh, okay."
* Chad`Winters is leapt on and he shifts forward to adjust his body for the weight. 1"Zephyr..."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Ninja Athena!
* Jennifer looks confused a moment hearing Zephyr's name, then giggles as Athena proclaims herself.
* Chad`Winters sighs, then looks back at her, giving her a smile. 1"How's it going?"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Good! Chad is Athena's third victim!
<Chad`Winters> And I should tell you something.
<DeathStar> <Athena> MErowl?
* Chad`Winters reaches back quickly to grab her waist to tickle.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena squeals with laughter, letting go
* Jennifer giggles more and rocks on her heels a bit.
* Chad`Winters stops tickling and he looks back at her. 1"That makes you my first victim.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena smiles playfully.
<Jennifer> "I wonder who will rack up the most."
* Chad`Winters glances down back at the jewelry again. 1"How's work been goign?"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Fun! 6* She shifts to hide in a clothes rack. "Chad and Jenny doing good, too?"
<Jennifer> "I'm really getting the hang of it." *she grins*
<Chad`Winters> It was nice to get to see Eve again and to visit with Cheryl. 6He rubs the back of his neck as he thinks on it, frowning slightly after a bit
<DeathStar> <Athena> Chad okay?
* Jennifer looks at Chad in concern.
<Chad`Winters> I am, yeah.
* Jennifer raises a brow. "Is everyone else?"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head in the rack
* Chad`Winters glances at Jen, then looks back down through the glass. 1"No."
* Jennifer clenches her shirt a little bit. "What's wrong?"
<Chad`Winters> I'm not sure I'm supposed to discuss it openly, yet. It'd probably be best if you talked to someone on the team.
<Jennifer> "Oh... I guess I'll hear about it later then." *she looks away*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Anything Athena can do?
* Chad`Winters nods and pushes off the glass display. 1"Cheryl's working on it the best she can right now.
<Jennifer> "Oh... I... I hope whatevers going on everything works out." *she crosses her arms, probably a self hug and turns away* "I shouldn't... prod. It was nice seeing you again Mr. Winters."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena holds up a tie she thinks looks good to Chad
* Chad`Winters nods again then looks at Athen, shaking her head. 1"Ties aren't my thing." He glances at his datapad, clicking his tongue slightly. 1"I should get back to work so I don't have to stay too late."
* Jennifer waves a bit, looking distant and troubled, she makes her way out of the shop. "See you around... and see you soon Athena."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena puts the tie back in the rack, then holds up a T-Shirt that says "I like kittens"
* Chad`Winters rubs the back of his neck. 1"It...has a certain flair to it.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena merowls sadly at Jennifer
* Jennifer blinks and looks back, turning a guilty expression into a smile quickly. She rubs the back of her head. "Did you want me to stay Athena?"
<Chad`Winters> I'll catch up with you later, alright Athena?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, then moves to buy the shirt herself, despite it being too large.
* Chad`Winters moves off so his player can sleep
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
* Jennifer walks back over to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena takes the shirt, then slides it on, getting engulfed. She peers up, tilting her head at Jennifer, probably getting her emotional feedback
* Jennifer giggles a bit, cheering up at the cute sight, she rubs the back of her head. "Adorable."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Jenny like concert?
<Jennifer> "I loved it, you were incredible." *she blushes a bit*
<DeathStar> 6* Athena beams. "Fan club members get discount next concert."
<Jennifer> "Awesome, I'll save credits for the ticket." *she grins* "And I need to give you a private little concert sometime, that song is coming along."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena listen any time.
* Jennifer grins and hugs her. "Cool!"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena returns the hug. "So, how Nurse Doctor go? Graduate soon?"
<Jennifer> "I'll be finished with my Bachelor's soon, a whole lot more to learn though."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena looks left, then right, then leans in. "If need to practice on Athena, can. Just no needles."
* Jennifer blushes more, "I might give you a checkup sometime."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue, faking a cough, then beams. "Doctors do that, right?"
<Jennifer> "Uh huh." *she grins* "I say you're suffering from extreme cuteness right now."
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* AThena paws at the air. "No cure, right?"
<Jennifer> "I'm afraid not, but you should be as cute as possible to let it out from time to time." *she giggles*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena do! 6* She bounds around Jennifer a few times. "So what do for fun?"
<Jennifer> "Well... mostly I just work on my music. Between all the studying."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Jenny should have lots of fun, too! Music fun to work on, but Athena like to do other things too
<Jennifer> "What kinda things?" *she looks curious*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena like to stalk, play ninja, cook, sing karaoke, swim, cuddle, lay by water, take baths with people
* Xanatos has joined #Erevis
<Jennifer> "I like some of those things too." *she looks a bit distant for a second* "M-Maybe we could try some."
<DeathStar> <AThena> Which ones?
<Jennifer> "Let's start with cooking and karaoke... only I stink as a cook again it seems."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, lifting a hand like a paw. "RAWR. TEACH COOKING!"
* Jennifer blushes, "Really? You'll teach me?" *she looks excited*
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods a few times.
<Jennifer> "Wanna start now?" *she looks over towards the bar*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Jenny have kitchen at place?
<Jennifer> "Nope... it's why I eat at the bar all the time."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena is aghast, grabs Jennifer's hand, and drags her to a teleporter to go to 1B
* Jennifer eeps as she drug along.

<DeathStar> 6* A hand follows Jennifer around
<DeathStar> 6* The hand moves up her leg
<Jennifer> * Jennifer blinks and looks down at her leg.
<DeathStar> 6* The hand moves up it
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
<Jennifer> * Jennifer eeps and gently tries to get the hand off her. "What the heck..."
<DeathStar> 6* The hand wiggles cutely
<Jennifer> * Jennifer blinks and gently puts it on the table. "How... is this possible..."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena gets dragged up as she does so
* Jennifer blinks and giggles. "Eeep! It has a cute Athena attached to it."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena mewls
* Jennifer blushes and gently helps her straighten out. "Sorry about that."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena ninja cat.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers out at Chad entering another store
<Jennifer> "I didn't even notice the rest of you when your hand was wandering. Really good ninja."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena leans. "Should team. Sneak up on Chad."
* Jennifer blushes, "I'm not very good at sneaking... but I could be the distraction if you want."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods
* Jennifer pats her head and gets up, putting away her things, "I'll go say hi."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena bounds out of sight to begin her part
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Xanatos has joined #Erevis-TheBar
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
* Chad-Sleep has quit IRC (Quit: Client Exited)
* Chad-Sleep has joined #Erevis-TheBar
* Chad-Sleep is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina spies on the other resturant from the window
* Chad`Winters glances over at Katrina as he steps in. He slowly moves over to stand beside her, squinting slightly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think they're mimicing our outfits
* Chad`Winters glances at her then tries to catch a glimpse of one of the waitresses
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina holds the binoculars to him
* Chad`Winters takes them then peers.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina plots as he looks
<Chad`Winters> They kind of look similiar, you know, to avoid copy right infringements. 6He lowers the binoculars and hands them back. 1"Some might say plagerism is another form of flattery.
<Kit> <Elwyn> It's another form of me wanting to kick their ass." 6She cracks her knuckles.
<Kit> <Elwyn> I don't put up with this embarassment so someone else can go and make it meaningless." 6She narrows her eyes, smiling creepily. She really might do something.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This is war. 6* She notes simply, moving to the bar to get her notes, the notepad labeled "War"
* Chad`Winters rubs the back of his neck and shrugs slightly. He moves over to the counter and sits down.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina motions Elwyn to see to Chad's needs, then begins to jot notes in her notebook.
<Kit> <Elwyn> E-Er, s-sorry mistress.
<Kit> 6Elwyn hastily moves over to Chad, raising a hand in salute. 1"Hey! Welcome to Jones'! What can we get you!?"
<Chad`Winters> The special will be fine.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> More frills here, maybe... 6* She jots notes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How was Earth, by the way, Chad? 6* She asks, since they didn't see each other there
<Kit> 6Elwyn slowly eyes Katrina, whispering. 1"What's the special?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think today it's mexican spiced soup
<Kit> <Elwyn> Ah, right. No wonder Meg looked happy." 6She whistles to herself and moves into the back.
<Chad`Winters> It was...6He scratches his scruff. 1"Wasn't what I expected at first but I made the best of it."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Poor Dias, though...
* Chad`Winters nods. 1"It's not somethign easy to handle. I imagine it's harder considering he knows X is still alive.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> At least there's still hope, though
* Chad`Winters nods again. 1"Yeah. It's more than I had." 6He glances off to the side, something else on his mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives him a sympathetic look. "I wonder if X is pregnant, though."
<Chad`Winters> It makes the most sense. 6He crosses his arms now as he thinks. 1"There wasn't any real reason to go after her like that. Her powers were gone. Dias would've been a better target all things considering.
<Kit> 6Elwyn returns, cheerfully sliding the plate and bowl over to Chad followed by an iced tea
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hmms, shaking her head for poor Dias
* Chad`Winters nods to Elwyn then looks back at Kat. 1"Hopefully she is. It'll increase the odds that she'll stay alive longer, giving Alex and everyone else the chance to find her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods.
<Chad`Winters> I'm just more concerned about what'll happen if they don't get to her before she gives birth, barring that she is pregnant
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We have to have faith they will
<Chad`Winters> I've never been one that believes in faith.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Despite all that you've seen? 6* She tilts her head, then goes to her notebook. "There are rough times, yes, but I've seen a lot of good happen, too - I'd choose to have faith and hope.
<Chad`Winters> I've seen what faith can do, good and bad, in people. And I've also experienced first hand the disappointment when hoping doesn't work out. 6He takes a drink of his tea. 1"I wouldn't ever tell someone to not do it, I just prefer to know that whatever happens is because of something I did or didn't do.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, then adds less frills to one spot
* Chad`Winters raises a brow at that. 1"Sure Marcus will be alright with that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives her battle smile, leaving little room for doubt, then shifts, adding more frills and cuteness to another spot.
* Chad`Winters motionts to a spot that's uneven. 1"You should add some frill there."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks amused.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Oy, oy! Don't giver 'er ideas! Look where that got me!
<Chad`Winters> If you really didn't like it, I'm sure they'd let you quit. 6He motions to another spot thats unbalanced. 1"Take some off here.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina designs the breast cleavage area to look like a heart
<Chad`Winters> Cute.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Cuteness is important
<Chad`Winters> What colors are you going to choose?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Probably something similiar to what we have now, so only a few modifications are needed
<Kit> 6Elwyn makes a face at Chad, her eyes narrowing.
<Chad`Winters> Well luckily the place is still new so changing uniforms constantly shouldn't effect your clientelle.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. Plus by just modifying, we keep a certain look
* Chad`Winters nods. 1"You'll find a balance eventually. Of course you could also just force Marcus to become the kind of cook who's food people stand in line for
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's already very good. You're here and not across the way, aren't you? 6* She notes
<Chad`Winters> Can Marcus make Beef Commercials yet?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You'd need to ask him
* Chad`Winters peers back towards the other restaurant. 1"Well unless they have them on their menu..."6He looks back at Kat now, trying to maintain a serious look. 1"I guess I'll stick with helping keep you afloat.
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> We're honored by your patronage.
<Chad`Winters> It also helps that I couldn't cook an egg to save my life. 6He smiles slightly
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess we do owe Wind some of our business.
<Chad`Winters> God bless him. 6He says sarcastically with a raise of his glass
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina lifts a glass of wine, then drinks it
<Chad`Winters> I had to bring take out to Eve's apartment for a romantic dinner. 6He sighs, clearly preferring to have cooked it himself
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hope you ordered the best, then - well, second best, since we're not on Earth
<Chad`Winters> Well not many top end restaurants do take out. 6He eats some of his soup. 1"But she seemed happy with it, or atleast the surprsie of it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Next time you go to Earth, we'll make you something that can last the duration of a trip there
<Chad`Winters> I'd like that. 1He gives her a smile. 1"Does Marcus plan on incorporating some of the other races cuisines?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We do have a few items from every race so far, and more are being added as Marcus learns them, or people offer receipies
<Chad`Winters> Maybe consider having other chefs from different races come in to train him in some of their recipes.
<Chad`Winters> Some might even do it just for the chance to be display their chef skills where everyone can see them.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That would be nice; we couldn't afford to hire more besides Athena.
<Chad`Winters> You might not get a lot at first, but I do think it'll be a snowball effect. Start small at the top and only get bigger as it rolls along. Eventually you could even have chefs fighting for the chance to be here
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That would be nice
<Chad`Winters> So do I get a cut for my idea? 6He rests his head on his hand as he looks at her
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure we can give you a free refill on your tea
<Kit> <Elwyn> Should I know him out?
<Kit> NRP: knock
* Chad`Winters eyes the tea then Kat. 1"You mean I've been paying for refills?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises a brow at Elwyn, then smiles at Chad
<Chad`Winters> I think that other place gives out free refills. 6He taps his chin as he glances back that way
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure their tea is watered down, too
<Chad`Winters> Well that can't do. 6He eats some more of his soup. 1"Y. Zephyr been giving you a lot of trouble?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No, she's a sweetheart.
* Chad`Winters snorts, then just stats laughing.
<Kit> <Elwyn> She is!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She only picks on you because she has a crush on you
* Chad`Winters scratches the side of his face after he stops laughing. 1"I had Chip move her bed out into the water so when she woke up she hopped into it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> See? You enjoy the teasing you two do to each other. 6* She notes
<Chad`Winters> She makes things interesting. 6He takes a sip of his tea, there probably being more behind it.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> She tried to get me to teleport your house into the water
<Kit> <Elwyn> Sounds like they could get dangerous..
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure she failed to realize she was in it a the time.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Oh, she had set up a fort of sand nearby to watch
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Kids will be kids
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Speaking of which, I Saw her add something to your soup before Elwyn got it
* Chad`Winters pauses, mid spoon. He slowly looks down at it. 1"That's not funny, Chip."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Yet you can't risk I'm not joking. I win
* Chad`Winters sets the spoon down as he sighs. He pushes the bowl away. 1"I hate you Chip. I really really hate you right now."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> It's safe. .... or is i?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Chad a sympathetic pat
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP then speaks. "I did as asked, so where's my lube rub? ... wait, wrong room." 6* He clicks off
<Kit> <Elwyn> I don't think she's even here..
<Chad`Winters> You do realize that I'm starting to recall things....
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The soup is fine, there's only one way into the back
<Chad`Winters> I'm half into it already I suppose. 6He slides the bowl back over. 1"Did you know she stitched my sheets to the bed while I was sleeping?
<Kit> <Elwyn> She knows how to sew?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Impressive she did it while you slept
<Chad`Winters> I've been sleeping heavy lately.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe she drugs you
<Chad`Winters> Let's hope not.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles in amusement
<Kit> <Elwyn> It's surprisingly easy.
* Chad`Winters actually seems concerned about the drugging thing, all things considered. He rubs his face slightly, then eyes Elwyn
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets Chad a refill, then herself some more wine. A few NPCs enter and point at Elwyn, snickering and moving to a seat, probably thinking she'll be an easy target
<Chad`Winters> It's nice to have something to take my mind of work and other stressful things.
<Kit> 6Elwyn blinks at them laughing, then moves over to ask what they'd like.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes, that's very true
<DeathStar> 6* The NPCs peer up. "Hey, we're new here. We'd love it if a pretty girl like you were to show us around."
<Chad`Winters> If only I can get her to play some light pranks on Aya. 6He muses as he thinks on it
<Kit> <Elwyn> Uh. Around where?
<DeathStar> <NPC1> WEll, I can't seem to find my room...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Poor Aya.
<Kit> <Elwyn> I don't really know this place that great either, actually. But I know people that do.
<DeathStar> <NPC2> But we'd really like it if you were to show us. We're nice to get to know, really. <NPC1> Really nice
* Chad`Winters smiles slightly. 1"I doubt I could get her to even consider doing something to Aya.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should becareful. Aya might team up with her against you
<Chad`Winters> That I could see happening.
<Chad`Winters> Hopefully my daughter still fears me somewhat.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmhm
<Chad`Winters> ...You don't really instill confidence with that, you know that right?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Chad. "More soup?"
<Kit> <Elwyn> Why would I show you around some place I don't know? Jeez, I'm working, too. You buying or not?" 6She makes a face.
<Chad`Winters> I'm good, thanks. 6He takes a sip of his tea. 1"So I was thinking maybe I should have another get together at my beach again sometime.
<DeathStar> <NPC1> When do you get off?
<Kit> <Elwyn> Later.
<DeathStar> <NPC2> We could...come back 'later' if you'd like
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That would be nice.
<Chad`Winters> Well I can't do that then.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Fine. Now what do you want?
<DeathStar> <NPC1> What do you recommend?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure Zephyr would have fun having people come over, too
* Chad`Winters smirks slightly. 1 "She would indeed."
<Kit> <Elwyn> The special.
<DeathStar> <NPC 1> We'll have that
<DeathStar> 6* They eye as Athena comes bubbling in with a dance, as if wondering if she might be a more friendly target than Elwyn
<Kit> 6Elwyn follows their looks, then glances back, guaging their faces and sighs, moving off to get the soup.
<Chad`Winters> Maybe I'll tell her it's a custome party.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you don't wear one, she might not fall for it
<DeathStar> 6* Athena glomps Elwyn in the back. "Hi!"
<Chad`Winters> Good point.
<Kit> 6Elwyn stumbles, almost knocking the soup pot over. 1"Grah! Athena..
<DeathStar> 6* Athena snuggles her.
<Chad`Winters> Maybe I'll just shrink her bathing suits.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She might call you a pervert.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Ellie almost done today?
<Kit> <Elwyn> Yeah. What's up, kitten?
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena bored. Want to do something
<Kit> <Elwyn> Like what?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena thinks. "Maybe go swimming?"
<Chad`Winters> She already does.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina chuckles
<Kit> <Elwyn> Sure, haven't done that in a while.
<Chad`Winters> If I even get up to get somethign to eat, she accuses me of trying to get a better view of her.
<Kit> 6Elwyn makes a face. 1"Though I kind of came here on short notice. I don't have a bathing suit."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm glad you two have so much fun
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena find something! 6* She does a cute pose
<Kit> <Elwyn> Eh? What do you mean?
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena find something for Ellie to wear.
<Chad`Winters> Don't tell her that tho.
<Kit> <Elwyn> But if it's one of yours it'd probably be a little small.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Make Ellie sexier.
<Kit> <Elwyn> If it's tight that's one thing, but small isn't better.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena will make adjustments. Count on Athena!
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> I'll try not to
<Kit> <Elwyn> ...Alright. Beggars can't be choosers.

<Chad`Winters> Maybe I should make her get a job so she can buy me gifts. 6He drums his fingers as he thinks
<DeathStar> 6* Athena bounds off to begin, hugging Chad on her way
* Chad`Winters hugs her back with one hand. 1"Hey Athena."
<Kit> 6Elwyn moves back out, going to serve the NPCs their soup.
<DeathStar> 6* The NPCs try to get Athena's attention, but she's gone like the wind
<Kit> <Elwyn> Ahem.
<DeathStar> 6* They eye Elwyn, smiles. Katrina adds some frills
* Chad`Winters shifts to stand now, taking his tea. 1"Well I should get back to my beach. I took a long enough break from, all things considering."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> See you for dinner, then, Chad
<Chad`Winters> Alright. 6He nods and moves off for the teleporter.

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the mansion with big eyes, then Chii, then the mansion. "You're rich."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And it's all your's. 6He notes to Cheryl from behind the two
<Kit> <Chii> No, you-- ..." 6She peers at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What? 6He looks confused
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks. "I own it?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yep. It's a really big place too.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares in awe. "Do I have servants?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions at Chii. 1"She's your servant at times. And you also have Lemon, who looks like you, but she's more of a maid then a servant. She enjoys cleaning and cooking."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Chii, a smile there - not sinister, but certainly devious. "You're my servant, too?"
<Kit> <Chii> Something like that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's also your wife.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares. "Really?"
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms, not finding much point in explaining anything with tourguide Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks a bit shy, almost embarrassed. "I-I think I'll chcek out the house." 6* She hurries off
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at the pregnant Chii. 1"You going to chase after her?"
<Kit> <Chii> I was wondering whether you two were attached by something physical there for a moment.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, heaven forbid I be there for a close friend. 6He moves off to the elevator now.
<Kit> <Chii> Yep, always about you.
<Kit> 6Chii walks slowly after Cheryl, since if she's like Lemon she'll be bouncing around for ages in the hallways.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes through various door ways to peer at things
<Kit> 6Chii tilts her head somewhat, finding it odd to see Cheryl so outbursting.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves up to a painting of a meadow, staring at it with fascination
<Kit> <Chii> I wonder if I'll wind up learning more about you now than you'll learn from me, really.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, peering at Chii. "Huh?"
<Kit> <Chii> Right now you don't remember any of the reasons why you'd hide anything.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hide what? 6* She moves over to peer at Chii curiously, watching her tail with a look of fascination
<Kit> <Chii> Anything.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So...you're my wife? How'd we meet?
<Kit> <Chii> Eh..." 6She scratches her ear peering to the side. 1"I helped almost kill a lot of people you know."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, staring in disbelief, her eyes widening
<Kit> <Chii> I didn't have many thoughts or feelings of my own. That didn't change until I was given a chance to live outside of the usual influence.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits near Chii as she listens, touching her tail discreetly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And then?
<Kit> <Chii> We fell into a lot of the same questionable habits.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I ried to kill people, too?
<Kit> <Chii> No one bad, but I mean other habits.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like?
<Kit> <Chii> Mainly drinking and picking fights. Sometimes with each other.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. ... did I win? 6* She asks curiously, as if it were important
<Kogitsune> <Chii> Sometimes..
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl considers. "So...how'd we get together, then?"
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-MansionBase
* Chad-Sleep has quit IRC (Quit: Client Exited)
* Chad-Sleep has joined #TAW-MansionBase
* Chad-Sleep is now known as Chad`Winters
<Kit> <Chii> Little by little. We 'knew' each other. Bit by bit.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Did you rescue me and I fall in love? 6* She asks like a child who's heard fairytales
<Kit> <Chii> It wouldn't appear that way. Our kind of saving is... not like a book.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh? What kind is it? 6* She tugs on the tail to see what happens
<Kit> 6Chii squeaks, jerking to eye her hand reflexively.
<Kit> <Chii> We're empty. Or least, we were.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Chii, blinking. "Empty?" 6* She tugs again
<Kit> 6Chii makes a face, then nods. 1"Our lives aren't exactly normal."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Where'd you get a pretty tail? 6* She asks, putting it against her face
<Kit> <Chii> I've always had it." 6She blinks.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you're not human? I'm not either.
<Kit> <Chii> Right. I'm a kitsune. One of the last. You're a dragoon.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She reaches up to touch Chii's ears now. "What's a kitsune?"
<Kit> 6Chii peers upward. 1"A demon. A spirit derived of foxes."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Foxes are cute. 6* She notes. "I think I read about them once." 6* She squints
<Kit> <Chii> Oh?" 6She tilts her head
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can you turn into a full fox?
<Kit> <Chii> W-What? No! I can't even change at all. Well, actually, I guess I can adjust my physical age according to my spirit density, but that's different..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you can look really young or old?
<Kit> <Chii> ...Yeah." 6She frowns a bit, wondering where this is going.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Neat. 6* She peers Chii over. "Do you have more fur besides the tail and ears? Like...down there?" 6* She points between her thighs
<Kit> <Chii> ...What!? N-No! ...B-But if I did, isn't it normal there?!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at herself. "I didn't see anything like that when I inspected myself." 6* Zing, shameless shaven plug in
<Kit> <Chii> Of course not. I told you to get rid of it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh?
<Kit> <Chii> I-It tickled.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you have nothing down there, too? ... because it..tickles? 6* She doesn't seem to get it.
<Kit> <Chii> I-- ...That's not.." 6She huffs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You don't like tickling?
<Kit> <Chii> This is totally outside the original...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to tickle the tail
<Kit> 6Chii jerks, snerking and starting to laugh, then eyes Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You DO like being tickled.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps at it

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl continues
<Kit> <Chii> S-Stop --ahahah! S- nyah... ahah! Stop itttt!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs softly, amused, and keeps at it
<Kit> 6Chii yanks her tail away, huffing and puffing, riled.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smiles innocently. "You're cute."
<Kit> <Chii> S-Some ... things just... d-don't change... haa... obviously..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I tickled you before?
<Kit> <Chii> You used to pull my tail all the time to piss me off
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That sounds mean
<Kit> <Chii> Yep.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... am I a... mean person? 6* She asks in concern
<Kit> <Chii> Not at heart.
<Kit> 6Chii gestures. 1"Obviously."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see. So..what do we do here in this mansion..?
<Kit> <Chii> I loaf, Lemon cleans. You spend most of your time beneath it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares blankly
<Kit> <Chii> You're a general. There's a base hidden underneath
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. Cool. I order people around?
<Kit> <Chii> A lot.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do I get to order you, too?
<Kit> <Chii> I'm civilian now, but you do plenty. Especially in bed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I order you to get me food in bed?
<Kit> <Chii> Only once or twice.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then what do I order you to do?
<Kit> <Chii> I--
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, eyeing her skiddishly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Kit> <Chii> ...I-I'm your wife. Things.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She stares blankly, as if waiting
<Kit> <Chii> Don't make me explain things like that out here!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> O-Oh, okay. Where should we do it?
<Kit> 6Chii facepalms.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come on, I want to know. Please? I'll do anything
<Kit> <Chii> What puns.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Puns?
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, where should we 'do it--' ahh, forget it.
<Kit> 6Chii makes a face, looking slightly flustered, then comms Lemon.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Hello!
<Kit> <Chii> L-Lem, can I get a hand?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I will be there right away!
<Kit> <Chii> ...You know where I am?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I can tace your comm and datapad!
<DeathStar> *trace
<Kit> <Chii> ---Okay." 6She clicks off, blinking a few times, then reaches to take Cheryl's hand and head for their bedroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows
