<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-592.1.4 - Night -
<DeathStar> Location: Mega City
<DeathStar> 6* It is night time in the city of Mega City. In an empty parking lot, an employee leaves a store to head for their car under a blinking lamp light, reaching for their keys when three men step up behind her to rob her. YZ perches on a roof, looking down at them
<DeathStar> <YZ> Uh, it looks like it's showtime. 6* She notes, adjusting her face mask
<Key> Right!
<DeathStar> <YZ> So, how do we do this?
* Key shrugs at YZ, peering at them. 1"New Model have good eyes. Armed!?"
<DeathStar> <YZ> Well. 6* She peers holds up a stun gun she stole from the base. "I have this."
* Key nods, then leaps off the roof. 1"Banzaiii!"
<DeathStar> 6* YZ jerks, then leaps off to follow Key, stumbling when she lands. The thugs, busy rifling through the woman's purse, glance up as someone in the shadows screams BANZAAIII
<Key> Stop right there!
<DeathStar> 6* The three men pause, squinting into the darkness. One holds up a light and shines it on Key, and the three stare at her hero outfit. "What the hell is this?" 6* They then shine it on YZ, who squints, using her cape to block her face
* Key holds out a hand and points accusingly. 1"I am the valkyrie Silmeria! You there, manhandling that fair woman. Lay down your arms and submit capture or face the consequences!"
<DeathStar> 6* The three men peer at each other, then begin to laugh their asses off.
* Key pauses. 1"...Why are you laughing!?"
<DeathStar> <Man> I didn't know halloween came early this year.
<Key> What Halloween..!?
<DeathStar> <Man 2> Beat it, kid, before you get hurt. 6* They go back to rifling through the purse; a stun shot manages to hit one's shoulder adn cause him to fall over, twitching, while the other two turn to glare at Key and her sidekick
<DeathStar> <Man 3> Oh, now you're going to get it
* Key eyes them glare, and gives her emotionless glare in return, as if shifting personas. She holds out her hand, fashioning her nodachi from light as her newly red eyes glower and her wings start to form.
<DeathStar> <Man 2> W-What the hell? 6* He eyes Key transform, and begins to back up
<DeathStar> <Man 3> It must be one of those Next-Gen Dragon things
<Key> I am the valkyrie Silmeria! I am no dragoon! I am a goddess!!" 6She charges forward.
<DeathStar> 6* The second man begins to run away with the purse, while the third steps in front of Key, and throws a fist for her face
<DeathStar> 6* YZ jerks, aiming at the second man adn firing wild shots until she hits him and takes him down
<DeathStar> 6* That hapless female victim, meanwhile, uses her datapad to record all this for MeTube
<Key> Take care of him, New MyZ!" 6She leaps up, using her wings to glide over him and swoop on the pursesnatcher
* Key pauses, then drops on top of the third when Zephyr gets the runner
<DeathStar> 6* The third pauses when Key lands on him, and he reaches up to grab at her
* Key makes a sound, dissolving her sword and starts flailing on his head. 1"Watch where grabbing!:
<DeathStar> 6* The man jerks as his head gets flailed on, and he falls over; meanwhile, sirens can be heard, and YZ hurries over, grabs Key, shoots the man in the leg, and runs off with her by the hand. The victim keeps recording
* Key jerks, wobbling as she's drug along, but looks back, beaming a smile and waving. 1"Take care fair citizen!!"
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-592.1.5
<DeathStar> Location: Mansion Base
<DeathStar> 6* The news articles are all running the video shots of Mega City's "two superheroes". Lemon peers down at her datapad curiously
<DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms, eyeing the video of Key and YZ. "They seem kind of short to be heroes."
<Tabetha> "But they're on the news and everything, Dias will want to meet them!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hangs by his feet in the training room, doing crunches. Kaleb sleeps off to the side
<DeathStar> <John> They're being hailed as the first heroes, so I think Dias' dreams of being a superhero are over.
<Key> <Key> Wah! Cool!!
<Tabetha> "Can't be a superhero after them?"
* Key flails, pointing at the screen. 1"Red eyes like Lily!"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I wonder what sort of name New MyZ is--- 6* She pauses, peering over at Tomoe slowly
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Tomoe, are you sneaking out at night?
* Tabetha blinks and looks over Tomoe, then the images on the screen to try and make a comparison. "Well... Tomoe is small..."
<Key> 6Tomoe blinks at Lemon, flailing
<DeathStar> <John> Too small.
<Key> 6Tomoe then struggles to her feet and points, imitating the screen, but brandishing her knife.
<DeathStar> 6* John sits on a messhall table, eyeing the video. "We should probably arrest these two before they do some real damage."
<Tabetha> "I believe she has found a role model, however."
<Key> <Tomoe> Uhnhan her! Vagury Sirumerry!
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon's eyes widen. "Tomoe, I told you to stop playing with knives!"
<Key> 6Tomoe pauses, looking at Lemon sheepishly and runs.
* Tabetha frowns. "They're superheroes, so we will have to be cautious."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slowly looks into YZ's room where she's asleep, then slowly leans back out, a deadpanned expression on her face
<Key> Damage? Superheroes good!
<DeathStar> <John> They could get someone hurt, or interfere with something important, and then the General will get cranky, since it's our job to protect the city
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon frowns and pouts after Tomoe. "That girl."
<Key> Cherry Lemonade be happy. More vacation.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grunts as he grabs the bar and unstraps his feet. He drops to the ground and moves over to grab a towel.
<Key> <Chii> There's no way that was another kitsune, right..? The hair...
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, tell that to her after what happened under Cole's watch for the 4 days she was on vacation.
<Tabetha> "Mmm... if they did well the news agencies would probably show our unit as incapable too."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She just lifts the datapad up and points at YZ's image, still deadpanned.
<Tabetha> "Yeah... poor Mr. Sullivan..."
<Key> 6Chii frowns. 1"Eyes were red not gold-- But if they could shift that's not an issue..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just keeps her finger pointing
<Key> <Chii> What's up, Cherry?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Use your pretty eyes and actually look at the "sidekick".
<DeathStar> <John> We should probably lay a trap tonight to catch them.
<Tabetha> "Agreed. We don't want to hurt them after all... right?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over and picks up Kaleb's rocker and he moves to step out of the training room and down the hallway
<Key> <Chii> She's not a sidekick, Cherry. That Silmeria girl said her name, right? Not 'my loyal' or whatnot.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deadpans more, twitching. "I think I'm depressed I'm beginning to understand Chad more and more."
* Tabetha sends Dias a copy of the news report to his datapad.
<Key> <Chii> You're saying she looks like miniphi, right?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> But--the world needs heroes. IF they're not hurting anything. <John> And what if that one girl uses the gun and got someone killed?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm saying it is her. She's sleeping late because she was out all night. And just who else is crazy enough to run around beside her and spout lines like that?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses and peers around, then pats himself. He scratches his head and digs around Kaleb's carrier
<Key> <Chii> Yeah, I know, but if you've figured that out already...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Only a matter of time before someone else does.
* Key sits in front of the datapad charmed. If she had a tail it'd be wagging in excitement.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face as she walks along.
<Tabetha> "Well... maybe we can recruit them?"
<Tabetha> "If they're really heroes, they could be working with us!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias finally pulls out his datapad and peers at it. He turns it upside and reads it.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon pouts, watching people discuss the heroes; some hail them as a godsend, others say they're vigiliantes and dangerous
<Key> Lies! Fight for justice!
<DeathStar> 6* Some even say they should beat up the rioters over the NGD issue
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at KEy. "Huh?"
<Key> <Chii> Going to pull the plug..?
<Key> Heroes fight for justice! Not politics!!
* Tabetha frowns, eyeing the holovid.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What choice do I have? But neither will confess unless I actually catch them in the act.
<Key> <Chii> Why would they go vigilante, anyway? There's a unit right here. Couldn't they just enlist?
<Tabetha> "I do not like how they try to push the NGD issue into everything."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Zephyr doesn't have the skills necessary to be in the unit, and Key wants access to the mansion still, and the two need to be kept separate. After all the incidents we have had.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns when he finishes reading it, a sad look on his face briefly. He shifts the datapad away and heads for the messhall
<DeathStar> <John> Everything is political, sadly.
<Key> 6Chii blinks. 1"Seriously...? I feel kind of bad, then."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You saw how many shots missed the target. Neither Zephyr is good with handheld weapons, and I've yet to see that Zephyr make her own gun
<Key> <Chii> Couldn't we just get her some help?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Frankly, I'd rather she stay out of the military life. Look at how happy the other Zephyr is on the PAX. Plus you have to consider Ariel's feelings. Though she isn't around a lot, she is her guardian
* Tabetha sighs and looks down at the table, looking bothered.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the messhall and looks at the others.
<Key> 6Chii rubs her head. 1"I'm pretty good, and so's Chad. But if you're talking accuracy from afar, there's Peter and Aya's boy."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon rises to prepare a meal. "Everyone think better on full stomach."
<Key> Key help!" 6She hops up to follow Lemon
* Tabetha nods a little. "Food might help..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She trained on the firing range for a solid month. I think when she was designed, she was so intuned into her own weapon system, that other guns don't compute
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Food sounds good. 6He sets Kaleb on a table.
* Tabetha looks up at Dias and smiles. "Hello."
<Key> <Chii> If it's that, then get the other Zephyr to teach her. Or hell, doesn't Megumi have the ability now?
<DeathStar> 6* John rises and moves out of the mess hall
<Key> <Chii> Even Key does something similar. Just being around her might be good for her..?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And why are you so hellbent on getting her into the unit?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's a kid
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches the back of his head at John leaving. 1"So this stuff true, Tabetha?
<Key> 6Chii frowns. 1"I'm not-- but I also understand wanting something that makes you feel whole."
* Tabetha waves at John as he leaves and looks at Dias. "I think so, it's all over the news."
<Tabetha> "It means there can be real superheroes right? Isn't that great? It means you can be one too!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then you can talk to Ariel about it. 6* She shows her teeth in a smile, stepping into her office. "In the meantime, I need to think how to handle this."
<Key> 6Chii holds her hand out to stop Cheryl, frowning suddenly.
<Key> <Chii> I did talk to Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon gets out a big pot, chattering with Key about the nature of superheroes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers back at Chii. "About YZ joining a military unit?"
<Key> 6Chii shakes her head. 1"Maybe you forgot, but I haven't. I'm sorry, Cherry, but that woman's hopeless."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's still her guardian.
<Key> <Chii> About anything. She's dead in the water. She refuses to take a stance on anything because it's too much of a hassle to be at odds with anyone.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gives her a thumbs up at that, a grin on his face. 1"That world needs more good people."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, crossing her arms, not arguing that
<Tabetha> "Need a sidekick?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She did make the effort to send Darien that message. She's improving
<Key> <Chii> Darien. The NG Dragoons, miniphi, Phinee. Anything. She just spends her time idling in the yard.
<Key> 6Chii jerks. 1"She... made contact?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. While we were on vacation.
<Key> <Chii> News to me. But then, I was occupied.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. Lemon did have you wrapped around her finger, didn't she
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have a whole team of people to work with, there's no need for a sidekick.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers out, then at Key. "It sounds like they're planning to become superheroes, too."
<Key> <Chii> Tch. Don't act like you didn't have your fingers in it. And me."
<Key> Really?!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face, sticking out her tongue. "I need to get to work. Be sure to bring me my tea later."
* Key peers out, looking happy. 1"But Cherry Lemonade and John not want more.."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Then maybe the superheroes can show them they're good!
<Tabetha> "Oh..." *she pouts a little, but then hides it in a smile* "Okay!" *she leans over to look at Kaleb*
<Key> Not about good or bad... more politics. World too complicated now...
<Chad`Winters> 6Kaleb seems to be sleeping.
<Key> <Chii> Yes, master!" 6She bows.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. 6* She looks sad.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And wear that maid outfit I like. 6* She closes her study door
* Tabetha smiles softly at the baby and makes a new baby toy appear in her hand, tucking it next to him.
<Key> <Chii> Hai, goshujinsama." 6She snickers, then heads upstairs to get Lorelei
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tilts his head slightly at that. 1"Thanks."
* Tabetha smiles happily and nods to him. "It's a pleasure. I like Kaleb."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Maybe you and I can beat the superheroes before the others do! I'd like to meet them!
<DeathStar> *meet
<DeathStar> 6* YZ steps out of her room as Chii goes by, yawning and wearing pajamas.
<Key> Morning, miniphi!
<Key> Nrp: Chii>
<DeathStar> <YZ> Hi, Chiisecake
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He likes you too.
<Key> <Chii> Fufufu, so cute." 6She reaches down, pinching YZ's cheeks
<Key> <Chii> Careful, you're on the news." 6She moves into her room
<DeathStar> 6* YZ flails. "Actually, I got it from Cheryl when she was dr---huh?"
* Tabetha smiles a little more warmly. She looks down at Kaleb fondly and rocks a little in her seat.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ jerks, peering about, then quickly heads for the elevator to the base
<Chad`Winters> Kaleb just sleeps there and Dias moves to the kitchen door and pokes his head in. 1"Hey Lemon, how long before foods ready?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei, meanwhile, works on trying to get out of her crib
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at the buffet with food already on it. "This is for later."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh. It smells good so I thought I'd see if that food was ready.
* Tabetha makes some drawing impliments appear and starts to draw, keeping an eye on Kaleb.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon deadpans, since it's just a pot of water right now, really, as she cuts vegetables.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ comes running into the messhall in her pajamas and moves into the back, grabbing Key and jerking her back through the messhall by the hand
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs the back of his neck. 1"So what do you two think about the superhero thing?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses and watches YZ go by and then drag Key by.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I-- 6* She watches YZ run off with KEy.
* Tabetha bliks, watching them go by. "Hmmm..."
<Key> 6Key aiiieeeeeeesss
<DeathStar> 6* YZ gets her into the hall, and leans forward. "I think Chii knows we're the superheroes!"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Sometimes little Zephyr can be so strange.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She can? I don't see her much.
* Tabetha gets up, moving over to the door, crayon in hand.
<Key> <Key> Hai! Cherry Lemonade and Chiichii know.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ jerks, then whispers. "So what are we going to do?!"
<Key> Don't know! Cherry Lemonade must prove by catching.
* Tabetha leans out into the hallway, looking back and forth.
* Key looks over at Tabetha.
* Tabetha blinks as she looks at Key. "Oh... you didn't go anywhere."
<DeathStar> 6* YZ Hmms, then eyes Tabetha with annoyance.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon goes back to chopping vegetables. "I think it's nice people want to do good."
<Tabetha> "Is everything okay?"
* Key eyes Tabetha, narrowing. 1"She knows now, too."
<DeathStar> <YZ> She doesn't have supersonic hearing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dia blinks then looks over at Lemon and nods. 1"Yeah, I was saying to Tabetha that there's not enough good people in the world.
<Tabetha> "No, but I am capable of figuring out what you're talking about."
<DeathStar> <YZ> We have to kill her now
* Tabetha blinks. "Real superheroes don't kill."
* Key gets up, moving toward Tabetha
<Key> We tie her up in basement!
<DeathStar> 6* YZ nods, grabbing Tabetha
* Key teleports them into the basement
* Tabetha blinks and struggles. "H-hey!!!"
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* John loads up the van for the night's hunt, frowning. "I wonder where Tabetha went."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at John. 1"Not sure. I havent' seen her for awhile."
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head, then peers at Key. "Well, going to give me a kiss for good luck? Cole apparantly isn't doing his job anymore, so it's just us."
* Key smiles and leans in, kissing John on the cheek
<Key> Good fortune!
<DeathStar> 6* John smiles back, then nods to Dias as he gets into the van
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks somewhat off and he steps inside the van
<DeathStar> 6* YZ spies on Cheryl and Chii on the couch in the living room, as both are cooing over Lorelei, then sneaks off.
<DeathStar> <John> If you see Tabetha, tell her she shouldn't wander off for long periods; especially these days.
* Key nods to John and returns to the house and grabs YZ
<DeathStar> 6* YZ jerks, but doesn't make a noise
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You driving or am I? 6He looks at John
<DeathStar> 6* John revs the engine in response
* Key teleports them to her bath, where two crudely made dolls of herself and YZ are.
<DeathStar> <YZ> W-What are these?
<Key> Decoys!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods and he looks ahead. 1"So you figure out our plan?
<DeathStar> <John> Wait for some crime to start
* Key draws the shower curtain-- the shadows are less conspicuous looking.
<DeathStar> 6* John drives off.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Ohhhhh.
* Key sets a recorder inside with them and waits until their voices pop up.
<Key> <Key> Key help!
<Key> <YZ> Actually, I got it from Cheryl when she was dr---huh?
* Key nods in confidence.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But isn't there a lot of crime that goes on? I mean how are we going to pick the right one?
<DeathStar> 6* YZ jerks, and smacks her face. After the two head out, Cheryl smirks, calling Lemon in to take Lorelei. "Okay, time to catch those two. Get ready to wear the outfit I made."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* YZ leans against the edge of a roof boredly, as it's dark now. "Nothing's happening." 6* She whines.
<Key> Have patience! No evil is a good thing.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ peers up at the sky, rocking back and forth as she waits, a police scanner next to her
<DeathStar> <YZ> So, did you and John become intimate on New Year's Eve?
<Key> Yes!
<DeathStar> 6* YZ blinks, glancing at her. "How was it?"
<Key> Not as intimate as New Model and left hand.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Huh?
* Key peers over the edge, lifting her left foot idly.
<DeathStar> <YZ> That doesn't even ma--- 6* She pauses when reports of a bank robbery comes in
<DeathStar> 6* IT seems there's even hostages
<Key> Evil!
<DeathStar> <YZ> Didn't we put Tabetha in the bank since it would be secure? 6* She asks
<Key> Doubly evil!
<Key> We must save her!
<DeathStar> 6* YZ nods, grabbing the scanner and touching Key so they can fast travel. Meanwhile, John lazily glances at the police scanner talking about the bank robbery
<DeathStar> <John> Hm. Do you think they'd show up there?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bank robbery should have a lot of criminals.
<DeathStar> <John> Surely they wouldn't be dumb enough to try anything, though. People could get hurt.
* Key touches the scanner and whispers through it. 1"No.. They won't show.." 6Then grabs YZ and forms her wings, making short hops between glides.
<DeathStar> 6* John drives for the bank, despite his words
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A lot of people who want to be superheroes tend to rush in blindly and cause more problems then help.
<DeathStar> 6* After driving, the two arrive outside the bank, where police cars have lined up and the police are trying to talk the gun happy robbers out. Also, arriving on the scene nearby, are Key and YZ
<Key> Armed and dangerous!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at John. 1"Well, any ideas on how we want to handle this?
<DeathStar> 6* John climbs out. "We just wait for them to show up. I doubt the police want us interfering."
<DeathStar> <YZ> So what's the plan?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods and he climbs out himself, then peers around
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If they're going to get in, they'll probably try a back route or the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* John scans the rooftops of nearby buildings.
* Key ducks down to convene with YZ
<DeathStar> <John> Maybe.
<Key> We appear inside! Be spotted by robbers if go on foot!
<DeathStar> <YZ> You're using up a lot of energy; are you sure you can get us inside?

* Set by DeathStar!Gilmore@238-169-82-209.planters.net on Tue Mar 09 23:05:29
* DeathStar has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Ds[Mew]> <YZ> You're using up a lot of energy; are you sure you can get us inside?
<Key> If we finish quickly, Key have ace!
* Key pauses. 1"Silmeria have ace! Memorize robber locations! Must immobilize quickly." 6She nods, sitting back up to peer out
<Ds[Mew]> <YZ> It's hard to see them, though; they have the windows blocked up
* Key smiles. 1"Leave it to Silmeria!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If they make they're move are we going to risk going in to stop them? It might cause problems
* Key peers out and concentrates, taking tabs on any she can spot and relaying it to YZ
<Ds[Mew]> 6* At that moment, as Key says that, two heroic heroes who look like Hrist and Lenneth suddenly appear in a puff of smoke, declaring they will handle the bad guys, and go in - through the front door in a blur
<Ds[Mew]> 6* John pauses, then jerks. "More...of them?"
<Key> Ah!
<Ds[Mew]> 6* YZ pauses. "More superheroes?!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stares.
<Key> Hrist and Lenneth!
<Ds[Mew]> 6* The sounds of fighting can be heard inside. The police look baffled at what to do
* Key grabs YZ and concentrates, wanting to jump inside
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns a bit himself now, looking off at that. 1"So do we stop them too now?
<Ds[Mew]> 6* Key and YZ appear as Hrist and Lenneth, have taken down over half of the bank robbers. One attempts to aim his gun at a hostage.
<Key> New MyZ!" 6She points at him
<Ds[Mew]> <John> ---- there's like 4 girls now. Do you honestly think we can stop them?
<Ds[Mew]> 6* YZ aims and fires her stun shots, taking out the bank robber and hitting one of the hostages on accident.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's Cheryl's orders wasn't it?
<Ds[Mew]> <John> Technically she just said for us to come here and keep an eye on things
* Key moves forward, drawing out her sword of light, though having blunted its edge and smiles, aiming for those remaining.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Then we should probably just stay here.
<Ds[Mew]> 6* The bank robbers are quickly defeated. Meanwhile, the sounds of cute animals can be heard from the open vault. Hrist looks over slowly with her violet eyes to see Tabetha tied up and surrounded by animal images
<Ds[Mew]> 6* YZ smacks her face.
* Tabetha squirms a little, trying to get a better look at one of the kitties.
<Ds[Mew]> 6* John peers as his datapad beeps and he glances at it, then clicks his tongue.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't see any movement inside.
* Key moves over to peer at 'Hrist and Lenneth'
<Ds[Mew]> 6* Hrist aims her weapons at one bank robber. "Evil can never prevail." 6* She declares boldly. YZ steps over, blinking at the violet heroine
<Key> Right!
<Ds[Mew]> <John> Apparantly Tabetha is inside and our orders are to get her out without her being spotted.
<Ds[Mew]> 6* Hrist then leans over, grabs YZ by the ear and ynaks off her mask, holding up a datapad and taking a picture. YZ begins to flail.
* Key blinks.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs the back of his neck. 1"How we going to manage that?"
<Ds[Mew]> <Hrist> And tweens shouldn't be playing heroes.
<Ds[Mew]> <John> I don't know, you're the brains of the operation
* Key narrows her eyes and swipes her sword to cut for the other valkyries' outfits
* Tabetha squirms a bit more and looks up at the action, she works at freeing herself again in a likely vain attempt.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm not very brainsie...6He peers around for any valuable places.
<Ds[Mew]> 6* Hrist peers as Key's sword swipes out, leaving no visible damage, though a trace of blue cloth lands on the ground. Hrist narrows her eyes, then taps her wrist, and the four of them are suddenly teleported.
<Ds[Mew]> 6* John rubs the back of his head, then steps over to the police captain, who's getting ready to charge, and begnis to talk to him, shwonig his ID.
<Ds[Mew]> <John> We have reason to believe there's a uh... 6* He makes a cough noise as he says a word. "Here. We'd like to check it out before your men go in under order..." 6* He coughs something else
<Ds[Mew]> 6* The captain stares, but backdowns for now. "You got 5 minutes." 6* John nods and moves in through the front door to eye the unconscious bodies of the bankrobbers, and one hostage
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves after him quickly.
<Ds[Mew]> <John> Can someone explain to me what happened here?

<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers around for Tabetha
<Ds[Mew]> 6* John moves over to where Tabetha is, untying her and eyeing all the stuff around her, and a half-eaten sandwhich
* Tabetha looks over from the vault. "Thank you..."
<Ds[Mew]> <John> And why are you here?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around for a back door now.
<Tabetha> "Key and Zephyr."
<Ds[Mew]> 6* Since the police have the building surrounded, a back door wouldn't matter much
<Ds[Mew]> <John> Huh?
<Tabetha> "They put me in here." *she looks down* "Sorry."
<Ds[Mew]> <John> Why?
<Ds[Mew]> 6* John rubs the back of his head, then motions at a large bag. "Get that for me, Dias."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Shouldn't we worry about that later, and worry about getting her out of here.
* Tabetha sighs. "I will explain outside the bank."
<Ds[Mew]> <John> .... 6* He looks at Dias now with a look that says "just do it"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves to grab the large bag and brings it over.
<Ds[Mew]> 6* John takes the bag, then puts it over Tabetha, and then jerks it up so she's inside it, straining to tie it closed. He then drags Tabetha out the front door. "We got it! Your men can carry on!"
<Ds[Mew]> 6* John waves at Dias to get the van ready to go as he drags Tabetha along

<DeathStar> 6* John takes the bag, then puts it over Tabetha, and then jerks it up so she's inside it, straining to tie it closed. He then drags Tabetha out the front door. "We got it! Your men can carry on!"
<DeathStar> 6* John waves at Dias to get the van ready to go as he drags Tabetha along
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves into the van and starts it uip
* Tabetha squirms a bit in the bag, wriggling a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* John nudges it with his foot as warning, then tosses it into the back of the van, getting in the back with it
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> All good?
<DeathStar> <John> Yep.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods and takes off for the base
* Tabetha waits till she feels the van moving, the works to get the sack off.
<DeathStar> 6* John leans over and unties it after a bit
<DeathStar> <John> So, mind filling me in?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances in the rearview. 1"Yeah, how'd you end up in there again?"
<Tabetha> "Well... Key teleported me in and they both tied me up."
<Tabetha> "They left food though! And kitties."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You said they.
<DeathStar> 6* John stares. "Why did they... tie you up... in a bank vault?"
<Tabetha> "Because it was secure, I think."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes a face at that. 1"That doesn't make sense."
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, I'm at a loss, too
<Tabetha> "They are the superheroes. I think."
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <John> Huh? No way.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at her again then ahead, hiding his look. 1"How are you sure?
<Tabetha> "Well... I did see two more... and none of them seemed familiar at all. But when I went to check on them after Zephyr was dragging Key off they were in the hallway talking about something and were upset that they thought I heard."
<Tabetha> "And then they... locked me up."
<DeathStar> <John> Maybe they were planning something. Maybe a surprise party for me.
<Tabetha> "I'd have kept that secret! Well... I would try..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh...6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"I don't know, I mean YZ doesn't seem like the kind that would do that sort of thing.
<DeathStar> <John> What, throw me a party?
<Tabetha> "I'd throw John a party. And you Dias."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No the superhero thing. but I guess I don't know her that well.
<DeathStar> <John> She was created by Wind, right?
<Tabetha> "I suppose I will not press the issue in favor that they might be attempting some other surprise or secret."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But it was more of an...I didn't expect that to happen kind of thing
<Tabetha> "Perhaps I was wrong, you both know them better then me."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can't see Cheryl being happy about it if its true tho.
<DeathStar> <John> Does anything make her happy?
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: A Shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Hrist peers at Key and YZ now, giving them the Hrist look of doom.
<DeathStar> 6* She taps a button and Lenneth turns into Chii as the holoemitors vanish
<Key> <Chii> ...That's quite the trick
<DeathStar> 6* YZ reels.
<DeathStar> <Hrist> So ... 6* She eyes them, looking exactly like Hrist as she does, leaning forward, her dark hair shifting about. "What am I going to do with you two?"
<Key> <Chii> ...Uh, Cherry, you haven't changed back
<Key> Nothing?" 6She looks innocent.
<DeathStar> 6* Hrist eyes her, feeling a bit off in the bond, but nothing serious or that Chii can pinpoint, then looks back. "First, you're going to stop this superhero nonsense." 6* YZ peers down. "But in exchange, I'll add you both to the unit in the form of a hidden strike force. Since you both work well together, and Key's abilities, you can provide good assistance to the main unit during missions, without offically being part of it.
<DeathStar> <Hrist> Which means you can keep being my maid in the mansion, while helping your boyfriend. That's my only offer.
* Key blinks.
<Key> 6Chii tilts her head, crossing her arms.
<Key> What about New MyZ!?
<DeathStar> 6* YZ blinks as well.
<DeathStar> <Hrist> Like I said, both of you will be added, unoffically - to be used on missions for assistence. Meaning you won't go on every mundane mission, but the major ones, you'll be around to provide the team hidden help. The enemy won't expect you since you're not offical. Both of you. Adn I might even have assignments for you that the others don't get
<DeathStar> <Hrist> But no more superheroes or New MyZ shit
<DeathStar> 6* She leans in, closer now. "I advice you to take my offer. Valkyries don't take no for an answer."
<Key> Silmeria valkyrie, too!
<DeathStar> <Hrist> Call yourself what you want. Yes or no?
<DeathStar> 6* YZ glances at Key
* Key glances at YZ. 1"What New MyZ want?"
<DeathStar> <YZ> Well. Do we get paid? <Hrist> Yes. <YZ> And we can help the team like you wanted... I guess it'll be okay! 6* She nods
* Key blinks. 1"New MyZ be happy?"
<DeathStar> <YZ> Sure. Why not?
<Key> If New MyZ happy, Key agree!
* Key coughs. 1"I mean Silmeria!"
<DeathStar> <Hrist> Good. Now, there's one final stipulation to this. 6* As she talks, Key's perception would pick up something unusual, that's been present in the air since the bank. Though what it is, is unknown to her - for now.
<DeathStar> 6* Though it's clear it's definitely not affecting her, or YZ.
* Key narrows her eyes, peering around.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Stipulaton? <Hrist> You have until the time it takes John adn Dias to get Tabetha back to the base to throw her a surprise party - that you had planned and didn't want her to discover, hence locking her up.
<DeathStar> <Hrist> I suggest you do your little warp thing and get there fast.
<Key> Huh? Why?
<DeathStar> <Hrist> Because that's your offical mission as my hidden strike force; if you can't cover your tracks, then you're fired. Tick tock. John drives pretty fast.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ jerks, grabbing Key to get Keyed away
<Key> New MyZ, I feel something off! You?!
<DeathStar> <YZ> Huh? No
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Hrist leans back as time ticks away
* Key shrugs, then closes her eyes for a moment, drawing on a burst of energy, then hugs YZ and activates it to enhance her energy capabilities.
<Key> <Chii> Cherry does have a heart, I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Watches them go, then turns to face Chii, and removes her helmet, which vanishes after doing so. She steps up to Chii, leaning forward. "PSch. I have no idea what you're talking about."
<DeathStar> <Hrist> So, like what you see?
<Key> <Chii> ... Wh-Why do you ask? Is this a trap?
<DeathStar> <Hrist> Maybe. That or maybe I'm being a good wife and letting you fantasy about another body sexually while we have sex. 6* She eyes Chii. "So, do you or should I change back?"
<DeathStar> *fantasize
* X1 has joined #taw
<Key> 6Chii squints at Cheryl for a moment, studying her, then leans over to hit and become 'Lenneth' again. 1"How 'bout you?"
<DeathStar> <Hrist> Mmmm, I think I'll always prefer you as Chii. But I don't mind RPing a bit if you want. I did make Lemon for you, after all. 6* She leans in to kiss
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Base
<DeathStar> 6* John pulls up a the base, squinting at banners from NYE thrown up, with arrows pointing and saying "Tabetha, this way"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...What's that all about?
<DeathStar> <John> Don't know.
* Tabetha slowly looks out and tilts her head. "Maybe I should follow them?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gets out and he peers at Tabetha.
<Key> 6A voice chants yeeees near Tabetha. Follow theeem.
<DeathStar> 6* John peers around, raising a brow
* Tabetha looks around. "...I-I guess I should... will you both come with me?"
<DeathStar> <John> Sure.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If you want.
* Tabetha smiles and gets out of the van, then follows the signs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves after his arms shifting into his hoody pocket
<DeathStar> 6* They lead to the mess hall, where cake has been made, and food, and banners with TABETHA written on them in crayon
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks at it, and YZ leaps out. <YZ> SURPRISE!
* Tabetha eeps and then smiles, she hops at Zephyr and hugs her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jolts a bit, caught off guard. 1"I guess they were throwing a party."
<Key> 6Key appears behind Tabetha and holds her heads up. 1"Surprise!"
<DeathStar> <YZ> It's been six months since you joined the team!
<DeathStar> <John> See? It all makes sense.
* Tabetha giggles and smiles, hugging them both. "So this is why you kidnapped me! Thank you!"
<DeathStar> 6* YZ hugs back. "I know you're into engineering, so here you go." 6* She hands her a datapad that's bought engineering books to be read, like Kindle
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's been six months...6He peers at the ground then looks at her. 1"Congratulations."
* Tabetha goes a bit red at the gift and bows her head. "Thank you Zephyr." *she looks back at Dias and smiles in an odd way* "Th-Thank you Dias."
<DeathStar> <John> Well, here's to another six months, eah?
<Key> 6Key slumps and starts to fall over. Ironically, she's still pallete swapped
<DeathStar> 6* YZ pushes her under a table with a quick gesture
<Tabetha> "Yes! I will work very hard to last another 6 months."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon steps out with Lorelei, letting the baby lick some pudding off her finger.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hopefully a very peaceful 6 months
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Congratulations, Tabetha!
* Tabetha beams, enjoying all the praise.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, if the worst we've had lately is bank robberies and Peter getting himself blown up over mob stuff, we're doing pretty good.
<DeathStar> -tIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-592.1.6 - Morning
<DeathStar> Location: Mansion Base
<DeathStar> 6 Lemon peers in awe at her datapad as the news talks about the latest superhero, Heroine X, stopping some people who were robbering a convience store
<DeathStar> 6* John twitches. "Another...hero?"
<Tabetha> "Perhaps it cannot be helped."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> According to the article, all the clerk saw was a whoosh of purple and the two people robbing him were on the ground, unconscious
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits in the bathtub in his bathroom, his head resting back.
<Tabetha> "I should tell Mr. Dias about this one too. He'll like that there are more superheroes." *she nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, meanwhile, upstairs, puts a hand to her face as she eyes her datapad, still in the Hrist form, having forgotten to change. She's ironically half-naked in a robe
<Key> 6Key groans, sitting up from under the table, normal. 1"What happen?"
<DeathStar> <John> Hmmm, purple. I wonder if it was Kaleb. You should message him to keep an eye on him
<Key> 6"Lenneth" snores.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon shows Key the article
<Key> <Key> Wah! Xsama!
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Apparantly Valkrie Silmeria has inspired a new generation of heroes!
* Tabetha nods and sends Dias a message with an article on it, asking if Kaleb is sneaking out at night.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Xsama?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers over at his datapad and he shifts to grab it off the sink he eyes it and sets it down, then slowly sinks his head under the water.
<Key> Hai! Xsama. Key's mistress X?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl/Hrist eyes Chii, taking a picture of her, then another in a compromising position, then a few more, then moves off, printing them up and putting them all around Chii for when she wakes up
<DeathStar> <LEmon> You think she is Heroine X?
<Key> Purple and pretty!
<DeathStar> <John> I didn't think she had any powers and was a hair stylist now
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Maybe the article meant Hairstylist X?
<Key> We should visit!
<DeathStar> <John> Well, if you plan that, you should ask Dias if he wants to go with you.
<DeathStar> 6* John leans over to whisper into Key's ear
<Tabetha> "I-I'll ask him!"
* Key peers at John
* Tabetha hops up and races out of the mess hall, heading to Dias' room.
<DeathStar> 6* John winks at Key.
<Key> Small party fit in Key's room!
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches her go. "I wonder if Tabetha has a crush on Dias."
<DeathStar> <John> I--I meant a party like what we had after the New Year's Eve party.
* Tabetha knocks on Dias' door.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits up from under the water now and he rubs his face.
<DeathStar> 6* The kind janitor unlocks the door for her, winking at Tabetha to go on in
* Tabetha blinks a bit and smiles to him, then steps inside.
<Key> Oh! Maybe Key let John be more intimate than New Model's left hand!
<DeathStar> <John> Huh?
* Key winks back at John, then goes to plan a trip to visit X
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head, while YZ sneezes in her room
<Chad`Winters> 6A light is on on his night stand along with his bathroom light being on. Kaleb's rocker can be seen barely
* Tabetha looks about slowly and moves over to quietly check on Kaleb, before opening the bathroom door to inspect beyond it.
<Chad`Winters> 6It's in the bathroom since Dias wouldn't leave Kaleb out of his reach and the doors open hence the light being on
* Tabetha peeks inside the bathroom slowly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias can be see a troubled look on his face as he stares up at the ceiling
* Tabetha blinks a little. "Hello Dias."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks, his hands moving to cover his lower region a bit. 1"What are you doing in here?!"
* Tabetha blinks and hides behind the doorframe shamefully. "I-I... was looking for you... t-to ask you... sorry..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's...It's fine. What did you want to ask me?
<Tabetha> "We... were going to visit X and wanted to know if you wanted to come along..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his wet hair. 1"Yeah, I'd love to. You guys know when you're leaving?
<Tabetha> "Key's the one who brought it up, so soon I expect... do you need assistance finishing your bath?"
<Chad`Winters> 6There's a pause. 1"N-No."
<Tabetha> "Oh, alright. I'll check on Kaleb so you can finish up without having to worry about listening." *she closes the door so she can't see, returning to Kaleb's crib*
<Chad`Winters> 6Kaleb's not in there. 1"Kaleb's with me in his rocker."
<Tabetha> "Oh... woops."
* Tabetha moves back to the door, opening it again. "Should I wait outside?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just let Key know I'll be in the messhall in a little bit.
<Tabetha> "O-Okay." *she smiles and races out hurriedly*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias waits until he doesn't hear her and he rubs his face. 1"You can do this."

<Chad`Winters> Re: Enter Witty Remark
<Chad`Winters> I let Aya know how badly you want to see her to wish her a happy birthday.
<Chad`Winters> So the next time the PAX is in the Sol System we'll both come down to visit.
<Chad`Winters> Hopefully your vacation was everything you were looking forwards to, and you, Chii,
<Chad`Winters> Lemon and Lorelei had a great time. Hopefully Zephyr wasn't too troublesome for you
<Chad`Winters> Next time you need a place to go I can give you plenty of reclusive spots to choose from
<Chad`Winters> that are great to visit.
<Chad`Winters> I'm not sure when we'll be back in the Sol System but if you want to go out for some drinks, I can give you that and in regards to what you've heard, which amazes me how fast word travels, I took some time off to clear my head and reevalute my priorities in life and I'll be back to after Aya's birthday. And next time I open your next message, there better be a picture of my niece in it.
<Chad`Winters> Your Favorite Brother,
<Chad`Winters> Chad

<Kaelan> Re: Oh God here's another!
<Kaelan> So I found this one recently hiding under a table in the Famfrit Lounge, she was spying on us and I'm beginning to wonder if all of Leyaeh's neices now aspire to being detectives when they grow up, as she was spying on Athena and I.
<Kaelan> When you visit again you should really try the cuisine here, for some reason it all tastes sweet and spicy at the same time. The waitresses are all adorable, as you can see the kitten was posing as one. It's the notepad covered in notes and drawings that sort of gave her away.
<Kaelan> Anyway... I had a revelation recently... and I'd like to talk to you in person, or at least live, can we arrange a call sometime soon? Next time we're near Earth I'm totally visiting. These thoughts have completely changed my outlook on what I'm doing with my future. The song attached will explain I think.

<Zeal> Re: Tick-Tock
<Zeal> Yo, Auntie Cherry!
<Zeal> It's been a while, huh? Things are as boring as every on this hunk of scrap metal (Yeah, I mean you, CHIP, in a loving way). Except for the 'Kitty Voyager' returning recently. Did you hear? Meg left poor Revi behind to have a new litter.
<Zeal> Okay, kidding, but she did bring back a whole new kind of kitten. Her name's Imugem, believe it or not, but we call her 'Gem.' Cute, huh? She'll drive you more insane than your uppity brother, though, I assure you.
<Zeal> How's Chiichii and Lori? I want to see 'em, so smooch 'em both for me and give Lem a pinch. Tell little Z I'm coming for her, too, since our ship's almost done, so we'll be visiting more often. Believe it.
