  1. May 20 23:55:56 <Garlyle> DATE: January--actually let's make it January 3rd so a little bit of time passes. Year is, of course, still 20XX
  2. May 20 23:56:17 <Garlyle> TIME: 1:00 PM
  3. May 20 23:56:31 <Garlyle> LOCATION: Ivoryscape City, the Wanderers Office.
  4. May 20 23:56:50 <Garlyle> ...Is - although you already knew this - not exactly the extravagant piece of work you might have expected!
  5. May 20 23:58:05 <Steve> Steve chuckles, and rubs the back of his neck, looking down at his three Pokemon. He had released Gaav, Scarlet, and Duplica from their Pokeballs, as his equals in this application. "I might have overstated it..." he admits.
  6. May 20 23:58:31 <Garlyle> Instead of some grand mansion headquarters or something, the Wanderers Office is really just a small, easily missable street corner shop in a busy, slightly less-than-reputable district of the city. Hell, it's not even on the ground floor - it's situated above some dusty old antique shop.
  7. May 21 00:00:00 <Garlyle> You were more than a little surprised when you were first taken there by how... unremarkable it was. It looked a little like a doctor's office, honestly - there was a secretary sitting out front at a desk who handed you a form to fill out, then she took it and told you to come back at this time.
  8. May 21 00:02:26 <Garlyle> When you arrived inside the building today, you're not alone this time - the secretary is busy being shouted at by a casually-dressed brunette several years older than yourself. "What do you mean, 'I can't join'!? That's bullshit, I filled out the applications and everything!"
  9. May 21 00:03:06 <Jamal> (on a side note, who selects who joins? some super secret council?)
  10. May 21 00:03:13 <Garlyle> (You have no idea)
  11. May 21 00:03:31 <Garlyle> (Not even you, in your position, have any goddamn clue how it works)
  12. May 21 00:03:55 <Jamal> (must be wizard magicry)
  13. May 21 00:04:42 <Garlyle> The secretary is an wrinkled - although probably not as old as she looks - lady who smokes constantly, hair a little yellowed as a result; but she seemed kind enough when you first met her. She's looking at the far younger brunette with an irate :/
  14. May 21 00:05:29 <Garlyle> They don't seem to have noticed your arrival
  15. May 21 00:07:18 <Steve> Steve frowns, and approaches. "What seems to be the problem here?" he asks, Gaav and Duplica at either side, Scarlet hiding behind his legs, peeking out a few times. It was obvious thanks to the man's shouting, of course.
  16. May 21 00:08:34 <Garlyle> The brunette turns to you, and you get a better look at her; she's a little decorated in terms of jewelry, but most striking is the camera hanging around her neck. "Would you believe it? They declined my application! Me! Don't they know who I am?"
  17. May 21 00:09:07 <Steve> (woman's shouting, my mistake)
  18. May 21 00:09:10 <Garlyle> The secretary sighs and takes a puff of her cigarette. "Annoying, isn't she?"
  19. May 21 00:09:56 <Steve> 1d20+4 Memory check
  20. May 21 00:09:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Steve, Memory check: 23 [1d20=19]
  21. May 21 00:10:16 <Garlyle> (...Trying to remember who...?)
  22. May 21 00:10:26 <Steve> (If I know the photographer's work)
  23. May 21 00:10:49 <Garlyle> (hold a moment)
  24. May 21 00:13:00 <Garlyle> (This one would be an intelligence check... out of curiosity, how's Steve's familiarity with the media in general?)
  25. May 21 00:14:06 <Trevor> (Is this the Dahlia Hawthorne knockoff?)
  26. May 21 00:14:20 <Steve> (He spent a month living with a daycare center, so he'd hear travellers talking, and might have access to radio, television, or newspaper)
  27. May 21 00:14:32 <Steve> 1d20+2 Int check
  28. May 21 00:14:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Steve, Int check: 7 [1d20=5]
  29. May 21 00:15:08 <Garlyle> (No it's not)
  30. May 21 00:15:17 <Garlyle> (Also Dahlia was not what I was going for with her, but it ended up fitting)
  31. May 21 00:15:39 <Steve> (But all in all...) Steve tilts his head, curiously. "Are you a reporter, miss?" he asks. Come to think of it, even if he read something of her's in the paper, he wouldn't know her face...
  32. May 21 00:17:43 <Garlyle> Pretty much exactly that. She still looks insulted though. "Am I a--of course I am! How have you not heard of me? I'm Nalia Marigold, the ace reporter of the Altho Beat!" Oh, hey, -that- name you know. ...and 'ace reporter' isn't exactly the name you'd give to someone who chases urban legends.
  33. May 21 00:19:34 <Steve> "Ah! You did a piece on the mystery of Sunset Town's Ghostly Sound." Steve thinks on this. "I always thought it was just an Ursaring."
  34. May 21 00:20:32 <Garlyle> "Oh! A fan!" her face lights up, then she turns to the old lady with the most pompous look. "See? -He- knows how important I am!"
  35. May 21 00:20:41 <Garlyle> Then she grabs your sleeve, whips out a pen, and starts signing it.
  36. May 21 00:20:58 <Garlyle> "Here, you get an autograph~!" she's got a biiiiiiiig smile now. How disconcerting.
  37. May 21 00:22:00 <Steve> "Ah--he...hey!" Steve tries to pull his arm away, but, admittedly, he had weak arm strength. He wasn't even able to disturb her writing. "Um...thank you." He looks to the secretary. "So, she applied?"
  38. May 21 00:23:37 <Garlyle> "Yep. Powers that be say that she's turned down," the old lady shrugs. Her nametag reads "Granny Gotva", by the way, and you note this so that I don't have to keep calling her the old lady
  39. May 21 00:24:48 <Steve> "Oh. Did they explain why, Mrs. Gotva?" Steve asks. Gaav gives Duplica a knowing smirk. He had a theory.
  40. May 21 00:26:10 <Garlyle> Gotva shrugs. "Can't tell you."
  41. May 21 00:26:25 <Garlyle> "This is how she answers everything!" Nalia throws her hands up in the air in defeat.
  42. May 21 00:26:44 <Garlyle> You're pretty sure you remember those words coming out of her mouth a couple times too, the first time you were in
  43. May 21 00:27:41 <Steve> Curious... "So why did you apply for the Watchers, Ms Marigold?"
  44. May 21 00:28:42 <Garlyle> "Why wouldn't I? You guys get into all sorts of trouble, and I want to be at the heart of it!" She sounds surprisingly earnest. "...And I want to find out everything I can about the Wanderers too! People are always asking!"
  45. May 21 00:31:06 <Trevor> (Exposing the secrets of the Wanderers? Yeah, try again next time bitch.)
  46. May 21 00:31:53 <Jamal> (thank god Jamal's not there, he'd be leaningawayfromreporter.jpg)
  47. May 21 00:32:12 <Garlyle> As she rants, a young man comes in from the back, delivering a coffee to Granny, and then leaving the way he came.
  48. May 21 00:32:13 <Trevor> (More like bloodonthecarpets.jpg)
  49. May 21 00:32:15 <Kuji> (...lancetoreportersthroatpissedoff.jpg)
  50. May 21 00:32:49 <Jamal> (D: KUJI! THAT'S UNCALLED FOR! At least try to restrain her BEFORE you stab her!)
  51. May 21 00:33:10 <Kuji> (...I was just going to make her unconscious.)
  52. May 21 00:33:36 <Trevor> (>implying that blood on the carpets is EVER a good thing)
  53. May 21 00:33:37 <Garlyle> Granny takes a sip of the coffee, then a puff of her cigarette, and turns full on to face Steve. "Young man... you were just in here a couple days ago, right?"
  54. May 21 00:34:27 <Kuji> (inb4 coffee is a secret code.)
  55. May 21 00:34:45 <Trevor> (You guys are so anal paranoid)
  56. May 21 00:34:54 <Jamal> (BUTT FRUSTRATED)
  57. May 21 00:34:57 <Garlyle> (You're also flooding the place with OOC chatter)
  58. May 21 00:36:26 <Steve> Steve looks to Granny, and nods. "That's right. I applied a few days ago. I came in to see if I had passed the application."
  59. May 21 00:37:13 <Garlyle> "Oh yes, that's right... hold on, let me look you up." She reaches down and pulls out a book, starting to page through it. "Let's see here, where are you..."
  60. May 21 00:39:11 <Garlyle> Nalia bites her lip. "If you get accepted, I swear..."
  61. May 21 00:39:57 <Steve> Steve turns a bit red, and tugs his collar. "That would be embarrassing...but maybe I could ask why you didn't get the clear."
  62. May 21 00:41:25 <Garlyle> "Oh, right. Here we go. Full name, just so I can confirm it's you?"
  63. May 21 00:42:03 <Steve> Steve stands at attention. "Steve Weislet. Pokemon Breeder."
  64. May 21 00:42:21 <Steve> He tugs the brim of his hat down. "In training..." he admits
  65. May 21 00:42:30 <Garlyle> "Okay, yes, it's you. Application denied." She says it flatly, and closes the book.
  66. May 21 00:42:52 <Trevor> (Oshit)
  67. May 21 00:43:22 <Steve> Steve turns temporarily white with shock, still with the brim over his eyes. "For reasons you're not allowed to say?"
  68. May 21 00:43:43 <Garlyle> "...Glad you understand." Granny nods.
  69. May 21 00:43:58 <Garlyle> "Hah! Now you understand why I was so angry, right?" Nalia is almost gloating a little.
  70. May 21 00:45:32 <Steve> Gaav snorts, upset. Duplica and Scarlet look distraught. Ignoring Nalia, Steve leans down, and puts his hands on Gaav's and Scarlet's heads. "Sorry, everyone. We'll have to continue our training on our own, then."
  71. May 21 00:47:20 <Garlyle> "Well... whatever!" Nalia throws her hands up, then points dramatically at Gotva. "Listen, granny - IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME - We'll be back! You have not heard the last from me!"
  72. May 21 00:47:30 <Garlyle> Then she stomps towards the door and looks back at you. "Comeon, Steve. Let's go."
  73. May 21 00:48:33 <Steve> Steve looks up at Nalia in shock, before taking out his Pokeballs, returning everyone. He gets to his feet, and walks to Nalia's side, before bowing in farewell to Granny.
  74. May 21 00:48:47 <Steve> Although once outside, Steve has to stop. "Wait, why am I following you again?"
  75. May 21 00:50:05 <Garlyle> "Because! You want to get into the Wanderers too, right? You wanna find out what their big secrets are, right? Wait, I haven't even interviewed you!"
  76. May 21 00:50:58 <Garlyle> Literally, right there, in the middle of the street, right between two buildings next to a badly-lit with a bit of a scent wafting out of it, she pulls out her notepad.
  77. May 21 00:51:05 <Garlyle> "You! Why'd you wanna become a Wanderer anyway?"
  78. May 21 00:52:15 <Steve> Steve flinches. "That was fast..." he mutters, before scratching his cheek. "I don't suppose you'd want to conduct this at a place more befitting an interview? A studio, perhaps?"
  79. May 21 00:52:17 * DiceMaid-9001 (DiceMaid-9@sux-EADD5C74) has left #AlthoRegion
  80. May 21 00:52:40 * DiceMaid-9001 (DiceMaid-9@sux-EADD5C74) has joined #AlthoRegion
  81. May 21 00:53:02 <Garlyle> "Nonsense! This is as good a place as any! Come on, come on, tell me!"
  82. May 21 00:54:09 <Garlyle> She seems quite excited about this interview
  83. May 21 00:57:22 <Steve> Steve sighs, but smiles. He might as well get this off his chest. "I left Sunset Town as a prospective Pokemon Trainer. With only Gaav," he holds up Gaav's Pokeball, "who was just Charmander then. We managed to beat the first gym leader alone, and made a bit of a reputation in the immediate area."
  84. May 21 00:58:33 <Steve> "But then we rescued Scarlet," he puts away Gaav's Pokeball, and takes out Scarlet's. "Or rather, we saved her egg, after failing to save her parents. The old couple that runs the daycare centre out of town saw what I did, and offered I live with them for a while, after Scarlet hatched in my arms."
  85. May 21 01:01:08 * Jamal has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  86. May 21 01:01:12 * Jamal (durrhurr@sux-D3486381.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #AlthoRegion
  87. May 21 01:01:29 <Jamal> !dm9001 lastlines 10
  88. May 21 01:01:30 <Steve> "They taught me how to be a Pokemon Breeder. And I found...it was a life I just liked better. The old man recommended I join The Wanderers, to be charitable while I continued my training." He looks to Nalia with a smile. "Well, think that'll make the feel good column?"
  89. May 21 01:02:36 <Garlyle> "Mmm... barely makes the footnotes, but it might make good heartwarmer material," she taps her pen to her chin as she dishes this rather blunt blow.
  90. May 21 01:02:38 <Garlyle> Roll me perception
  91. May 21 01:03:45 <Steve> 1d20+4
  92. May 21 01:03:46 <DiceMaid-9001> Steve, 1d20+4: 18 [1d20=14]
  93. May 21 01:04:10 <Garlyle> She fishes for her camera. "Do you mind if I get a picture of you. Turn your head a little, it looks better that way," she tells you.
  94. May 21 01:04:49 <Steve> Steve's face blanked as Nalia gave that blunt blow. He regains composure, smiles, and complies, turning his head slightly for the shot.
  95. May 21 01:06:49 <Garlyle> You turn your head towards the alley, and even though it's not so well lit compared to the bright outdoors, you're able to see two people walking through the alley towards you. One in front of the other.
  96. May 21 01:07:08 <Garlyle> You can't make out much detail, except the one in the back is a little funny. His clothes are vibrant colors and it looks like he's got a tail.
  97. May 21 01:07:22 <Garlyle> ...And there's glints of steel in what little light there is.
  98. May 21 01:07:58 <Garlyle> The smaller hairs on the back of your neck stand up, sensing something is about to go horribly wrong.
  99. May 21 01:09:23 * Tom is now known as DamienLunas
  100. May 21 01:10:40 <Steve> Steve swallowed, trying to keep cool. But that was hard to do when all signs pointed to Abandon Ship! He got an idea, and pointed. "My god! The legendary Ivysaur of Ivoryscape! And he's even bigger than the rumours say!"
  101. May 21 01:11:15 <Steve> (as in, pointed towards the two)
  102. May 21 01:11:27 <Garlyle> "What!?" Nalia turns to see, camera out and flashing in an instant.
  103. May 21 01:11:49 <Garlyle> As a result, what she captures on camera is the last moments of a human life.
  104. May 21 01:12:39 <Garlyle> The figure from behind attacks the one in front, who seemed completely unaware he was being followed - two long knives that pierce right through him from behind; one through the back of the neck and one through the gut.
  105. May 21 01:12:50 * CounterBeard (CounterBea@sux-8C0E813E.lsanca.fios.verizon.net) has joined #AlthoRegion
  106. May 21 01:13:20 <Garlyle> The flash has caught the attacker's attention, however - and what was supposed to be a sudden and quick kill is apparently compromised.
  107. May 21 01:13:40 <Garlyle> WHAT DO.
  108. May 21 01:14:36 <Garlyle> (Worth noting: It's the middle of the day and you're on a moderately crowded street, but nobody else seems to have paid attention to your alert)
  109. May 21 01:16:00 <Steve> Steve blanches, covering his mouth with his hands. Not again...it was the Petilil, the Cottonee, and the pack again. "Get the Wanderers!" he shouts, hoping Nalia would be right on that. His hand instantly went for his Pokeball. "Stop! Murderer!" He dropped the ball at his feet, releasing Charmeleon, who was already snarling fire.
  110. May 21 01:16:41 <Garlyle> Nalia is still behind her camera. She seems to have gone into shock at what she photographed.
  111. May 21 01:17:24 <Garlyle> The murderer pulls back from the body, and you get a clear look at him for once, when the body drops away from him, onto the ground, in a heap. He's dressed head to toe in what looks to be a Luxray suit.
  112. May 21 01:18:26 <Garlyle> He looks almost, for a moment, ready to fight - but your cry has drawn a couple people's attention and he seems to have noticed this too.
  113. May 21 01:18:51 <Garlyle> So he runs. And not just out the other end of the alley, either.
  114. May 21 01:19:05 <Garlyle> You can hear the sound of suction cups as his hands and feet plant onto the wall of the building next to him and he starts scaling up.
  115. May 21 01:20:37 <Steve> What the heck? Well, his scaling speed couldn't be that good, especially using suction cups. "Gaav! Ember!" Steve is rushing to the side of the dead/dying? man, while Gaav shoots a small ball of fire out his maw.
  116. May 21 01:21:24 <Garlyle> (Roll accuracy)
  117. May 21 01:22:44 <Garlyle> Is he dead? Dying? Dead. Dying! He's struggling to breathe, plenty of blood flowing from the wound at his neck; his eyes are unfocused.
  118. May 21 01:23:07 <Garlyle> It doesn't take a wisdom roll to understand that he's going to be dead within a few seconds.
  119. May 21 01:24:12 <Steve> Steve fumbles through his pack. His first aid kit perhaps wouldn't have enough to save him outright. But maybe, just maybe, enough to keep him steady long enough for a full medic or doctor to arrive. "Let's see...this could staunch the bleeding..."
  120. May 21 01:24:49 <Steve> (Steve pays 550, to activate Stabilize, stopping his HP from dropping any lower)
  121. May 21 01:24:52 <Steve> Meanwhile...
  122. May 21 01:25:38 <Steve> 1d20 Ember AC2
  123. May 21 01:25:39 <DiceMaid-9001> Steve, Ember AC2: 2 [1d20=2]
  124. May 21 01:25:48 <Steve> (Huh)
  125. May 21 01:26:21 <Garlyle> Unfortunately for you, it misses him. He's surprisingly nimble!
  126. May 21 01:26:34 <Garlyle> And up he goes, over the top of the building, and away.
  127. May 21 01:26:47 <Garlyle> Of course, you don't have time to see this - you're focused on saving this man's life.
  128. May 21 01:27:44 <Steve> Gaav spits out a curse in his own tongue. Damnit! Why were things so impossible to hit recently!? He looks to Nalia, and gestures at her waist, where Steve kept Pokeballs on his person.
  129. May 21 01:27:56 <Garlyle> (Roll me a wisdom check)
  130. May 21 01:28:16 <Steve> 1d20+4
  131. May 21 01:28:17 <DiceMaid-9001> Steve, 1d20+4: 16 [1d20=12]
  132. May 21 01:29:17 <Garlyle> (Hold on I need to find the rules for something)
  133. May 21 01:29:30 <Garlyle> (And goddamn PDFs crashing does not help)
  134. May 21 01:30:20 <Garlyle> 1d20-2 Death saving throw for the man; bonus from Steve's efforts (Target: 9)
  135. May 21 01:30:21 <DiceMaid-9001> Garlyle, Death saving throw for the man: 11 [1d20=13]; from Steve's efforts (Target: 9): 0 []
  136. May 21 01:32:05 <Garlyle> ...You work tirelessly to treat the man, giving it your all; and you think you see him smile at you during it. Like he is thankful to you for trying.
  137. May 21 01:32:46 <Garlyle> Unfortunately, even as you do your best, you can feel him slipping away from you.
  138. May 21 01:32:55 <Garlyle> (You were close enough I'll let you try again. Another wisdom roll)
  139. May 21 01:33:05 <Steve> 1d20+4
  140. May 21 01:33:06 <DiceMaid-9001> Steve, 1d20+4: 22 [1d20=18]
  141. May 21 01:33:44 <Garlyle> 1d20-7 ...A miracle?
  142. May 21 01:33:45 <DiceMaid-9001> Garlyle, ...A miracle?: -2 [1d20=5]
  143. May 21 01:35:28 <Garlyle> Steve is no medical genius, but he might be getting the nickname "Steve Stiles" after that. He falls unconscious as you work - but much to your amazement - the life stays in him.
  144. May 21 01:37:19 <Steve> Steve breathes out a sigh of relief, before looking up to Gaav and Nalia. Apparently, the murderer got away. They'd have to worry about that later. "He's still breathing. Barely, but breathing. He's lost a lot of blood, and a lot of that went into his airways. I'll keep him stable as long as I can. Please, we need a doctor."
  145. May 21 01:37:57 <Garlyle> "Wh... did you... what... o-oh! Right!" Nalia finally snaps out of herself and gets on her cellphone, calling 911 immediately.
  146. May 21 01:38:14 <Garlyle> Her hectic tone starts drawing attention once again as she calls for an ambulance, for the police, for ANYONE DEAR LORD A MURDER JUST TOOK PLACE HERE
  147. May 21 01:38:18 <Garlyle> (well, nearly)
  148. May 21 01:38:48 <Garlyle> ...As you have a moment to breathe, you think you hear the strangest thing.
  149. May 21 01:39:11 <Garlyle> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jmty_NiaXc It sounds like this. It's coming from the man you just saved.
  150. May 21 01:40:33 <Steve> Steve breathes heavy, as Gaav, nearby, stamps his feet, the nearby wall lined with claw marks from him trying to scale the wall, and getting no more than a few inches. As Steve calms himself down, he happens to pick up on strange music.
  151. May 21 01:40:54 <Garlyle> Something starts buzzing in the man's jacket pocket, apparently trying to get his attention.
  152. May 21 01:41:25 <Steve> Gently, he pats the man down, trying to find the buzzing. A cellphone?
  153. May 21 01:41:59 <Garlyle> There it is. You pull out... a Pokedex? It's got the symbol of the Wanderers stamped on the back, and looks to have a message. It's what's making the noise.
  154. May 21 01:43:51 <Steve> He should report this. The office is right there. He should just stand up, and hand it over to someone; obviously, other Watchers would have a better understanding of what any message would mean, or any password if the Pokedex was locked...
  155. May 21 01:44:21 <Garlyle> Yup, that's what logic would say alright. ...But...
  156. May 21 01:45:11 <Steve> But he couldn't leave the man on the street like this. Granted, Nalia and Gaav would be here, but in case something happened to make the condition worse, Steve had to stay put. So, curiosity and justifying logic getting the best of him, he opened the dex.
  157. May 21 01:45:37 <Garlyle> (God damnit customer don't drive up and just sit there get out of your goddamn truck already)
  158. May 21 01:48:24 <Garlyle> "Good evening,
  159. May 21 01:48:29 <Garlyle> Steve Weislet
  160. May 21 01:48:53 <Garlyle> Please keep this Pokedex on your person and do not reveal its existance under any circumstances.
  161. May 21 01:49:00 <Steve> What the--!?
  162. May 21 01:49:33 <Garlyle> And thank you for saving his life.
  163. May 21 01:49:37 <Garlyle> ~The Wanderers"
  164. May 21 01:51:10 <Steve> Steve blinks in confusion. Was this a test? No, it couldn't be. They wouldn't risk the death of another Wanderer for this kind of thing, would they? He shut the dex, and tucked it into his jacket. He'd have some words for Granny in a minute.
  165. May 21 01:51:57 <Garlyle> There's other words you might have to have with others first. You can hear the BLARING OF SIRENS. Good, they're finally on their way
  166. May 21 01:52:38 <Steve> Steve sighs in relief, before looking up at Nalia. "You got a photo of the attack, right?"
  167. May 21 01:53:12 <Jamal> The car stops right outside the allyway, and out pops, you guessed it, Jamal. He looks over the scnee quickly, notices the knife wounds, and yells to the sky, "EL TIGRE CHANNNNNNG!"
  168. May 21 01:53:38 * Kuji jumped out of the cop car and did a spin before landing on both feet. "ALRIGHT, WHERE'S THE MURDERER?" he yelled, his eyes bloodshot and ready for murdering someone himself.
  169. May 21 01:53:56 * Jamal BOLTS TO THE VICTIM.
  170. May 21 01:54:06 <Jamal> (do any of us know him?)
  171. May 21 01:54:22 <Trevor> (Trevor would know him if he was there... Sorta.)
  172. May 21 01:54:30 <Steve> Oh. Those two.
  173. May 21 01:54:32 <Trevor> (He was there from the Contest.)
  174. May 21 01:54:51 <Kuji> (Not Steve, the victim!)
  175. May 21 01:54:57 <Trevor> (OH.)
  176. May 21 01:54:59 <Trevor> (Duh.)
  177. May 21 01:55:22 <Kuji> "OHISTEVE, WHERE'D HE GO!?"
  178. May 21 01:55:32 <Garlyle> (You don't know the victim)
  179. May 21 01:55:33 <Jamal> "By Thor's hammer! Right outside Wanderer HQ too, the devious, evil BASTARD."
  180. May 21 01:55:55 <Jamal> "and, oh, hi steve - I SHALL CATCH YOU ONE DAY CHANGGGG! - is he gonna be okay?"
  181. May 21 01:56:06 <Trevor> (Can Trevor be there? His Clairsentient powers might help here. :D)
  182. May 21 01:56:22 <Kuji> (...make an excuse and run it by Gar.)
  183. May 21 01:56:47 <Trevor> (I like the "They picked him up after almost running him over" excuse. :P)
  184. May 21 01:57:12 <Garlyle> (It's about to be a crimescene, and you're not on the force...)
  185. May 21 01:57:25 <Kuji> (...no. We left the scene while trying to throw out cake and balloons.)
  186. May 21 01:58:01 <Steve> Steve looks to Kuji. "He went up the side of the building, attempting to escape. Gaav tried to stop him, but the man was fast and dexterous up that building." He then turns to Jamal. "Him? He's unconscious, but stable for now. He needs a doctor right away, though; he's already having difficulty breathing."
  187. May 21 01:58:03 <Trevor> (Oh well, I tried.)
  188. May 21 01:58:12 * Jamal gets out his yellow crime tape stuff, and starts to barricade the...alleyway. "This is probably a bad idea to do this before the paramedics get here..."
  189. May 21 01:58:13 <Trevor> (Damn my lack of brainpower at 5 AM)
  190. May 21 01:58:45 <Kuji> "DAMMIT!" he yelled, trying to calm himself down...
  191. May 21 01:58:48 <Kuji> 1d20-4
  192. May 21 01:58:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Kuji, 1d20-4: 5 [1d20=9]
  193. May 21 01:59:08 <Jamal> "Hm, well, I guess there's not much we can do without AIR SUPPORT. Chang is a fast devil, and one hell of a parkour runner"
  194. May 21 01:59:27 <Kuji> ...and looked around. "Miss, we're going to have to take that camera as evidence. I hope you don't mind."
  195. May 21 01:59:48 <Trevor> (Check for leftover weapons. Did he leave a weapon INSIDE THE VICTIM?)
  196. May 21 02:00:03 <Steve> (I think Steve would've caught that in treatment)
  197. May 21 02:00:11 <Kuji> (Yeah...)
  198. May 21 02:00:29 <Trevor> (Damnit.)
  199. May 21 02:00:34 <Trevor> (Well, check anyways. xD)
  200. May 21 02:00:41 <Garlyle> Nalia had actually hidden the camera long before you arrived
  201. May 21 02:00:42 <Kuji> (Wait, what? You do know that you're not SUPPOSED to take weapons out of people when treating them if you're not a doctor, right?)
  202. May 21 02:00:55 * Jamal releases his deputiees
  203. May 21 02:00:55 <Jamal> "Alpha, you scare off passerbys who are peaking their nose into this, Bravo, you go get granny, and Charly, draw the crime scene," he hands the scyther a pen and a sketchpad
  204. May 21 02:00:57 <Garlyle> (There was no weapon left; Chang withdrew them)
  205. May 21 02:01:01 <Kuji> (But then again, you are a medic, so...)
  206. May 21 02:01:03 <Kuji> (Ah.)
  207. May 21 02:01:27 <Garlyle> How the hell does a scyther even draw what is this
  208. May 21 02:01:36 <Kuji> (He's handled paper before.)
  209. May 21 02:01:54 <Jamal> (don't think about it too much Gabe, it's supposed to have that reaction.)
  210. May 21 02:02:06 <Steve> At the mention of Air Support, Gaav gives another exasperated shout, pounding his fist into the street. If only he were stronger! If he were actually a dragon, he could have given chase!
  211. May 21 02:02:06 <Trevor> (Help me figure out an excuse to be there so I can help you subdue El Tigre Chang!)
  212. May 21 02:02:25 <Jamal> "Ma'am...are you hiding a camera?"
  213. May 21 02:02:28 <Kuji> (...no.)
  214. May 21 02:02:28 <Trevor> (I can try Image Tailing from the location!)
  215. May 21 02:02:54 <Kuji> (Well... maybe. But it's your job to figure out the excuse.)
  216. May 21 02:02:56 <Garlyle> (Jamal: You have no reason to suspect her of having a camera at all)
  217. May 21 02:03:01 <Jamal> "You can't lie to me. No, really, you can't."
  218. May 21 02:03:01 <Jamal> 1d20+15 we can do this the easy way or...
  219. May 21 02:03:02 <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, we can do this the easy way or...: 32 [1d20=17]
  220. May 21 02:03:05 <Jamal> (fair enough)
  221. May 21 02:03:12 <Jamal> (I'll retract that then)
  222. May 21 02:03:22 <Trevor> (Obligatory Donphan abuse?)
  223. May 21 02:03:28 <Kuji> (Oh? She did say something about it in her 911 call, right?)
  224. May 21 02:03:37 <Garlyle> (Nope)
  225. May 21 02:03:43 <Garlyle> (Just that she saw it happening)
  226. May 21 02:03:45 <Trevor> (Nope to who?)
  227. May 21 02:03:51 <Kuji> (Alright.)
  228. May 21 02:03:54 <Trevor> ('cause Donphan abuse is always fun.)
  229. May 21 02:04:17 <Jamal> "As for...our victim here, I'll move the car, gotta make room for the paramedics...I doubt we'll be able to track Chang by now. he's probably at least 10 blocks over at this rate."
  230. May 21 02:04:25 * Kuji takes a look at the scene of the crime... "...useless..." he muttered to himself, looking for something... something...
  231. May 21 02:04:29 * Jamal goes to move the car as his deputies...do their thing.
  232. May 21 02:04:42 <Garlyle> Other than blood, there's nothing much...
  233. May 21 02:04:44 <Garlyle> (Perception check)
  234. May 21 02:04:55 <Kuji> 1d20-4 looking for something... but not being clouded...
  235. May 21 02:04:57 <DiceMaid-9001> Kuji, looking for something... but not being clouded...: 14 [1d20=18]
  236. May 21 02:05:39 <Trevor> (So CAN I use Donphan as the excuse to get involved? :P)
  237. May 21 02:05:55 <Garlyle> Kuji: You don't find anything.
  238. May 21 02:06:22 <Kuji> (No, because Kuji will stick the halberd in it and ask you to leave... not necessarily in that order.)
  239. May 21 02:06:30 * Jamal returns after moving the car, with a little evidence collecting kit.
  240. May 21 02:06:44 <Jamal> "So...what DO we have to collect here."
  241. May 21 02:06:55 <Kuji> "Steve... which building again?"
  242. May 21 02:07:09 <Jamal> "blood...blood...more blood...I see he was as efficient as ever."
  243. May 21 02:07:24 <Garlyle> Nearby, Granny Gotva leaves the building and locks it behind her, approaching the scene and accompanied by Bravo. She seems rather unbothered by all of this.
  244. May 21 02:07:39 <Steve> As Kuji and Jamal inspect the area, Steve goes to calm down Gaav. Steve looks to Kuji, and gestures to the building with all the claw marks on the side of the wall. "Up that one. Nalia, did you see which way he ran off?"
  245. May 21 02:08:10 <Jamal> "Granny, the paramedics have been contacted about this event, but is anyone currently in the office who could be of assistance? This man is seriously injured."
  246. May 21 02:08:16 <Garlyle> "Huh? Um, n-not really, I was kind of in shock... I'm sorry, I don't remember very well," she shakes her head.
  247. May 21 02:09:08 * DamienLunas is now known as Damien|ZZZ
  248. May 21 02:09:09 * Kuji nods and puts both hands of Steve's shoulders. "I'm sorry for you not getting accepted." he said, before dashing off into the building.
  249. May 21 02:09:21 <Kuji> on*
  250. May 21 02:09:23 <Jamal> "it's locked, Kuji."
  251. May 21 02:09:35 <Kuji> "...what."
  252. May 21 02:09:41 <Kuji> "GODDAMNIT."
  253. May 21 02:09:46 <Garlyle> "Oh, Jamal, it -is- you... how are you today?" she is not nearly as panicked about this situation as everyone else that's now attempting to look past Alpha to get a look at the scene.
  254. May 21 02:09:56 <Garlyle> (The building he climbed was not that of the Wanderers)
  255. May 21 02:10:00 <Jamal> (or unless I misunderstood where you were going, granny just locked the door to wanderer HQ)
  256. May 21 02:10:20 <Jamal> Alpha is totally like :E IM A BURR GRRRR
  257. May 21 02:10:23 <Kuji> (Okay, striking that and running up the building.)
  258. May 21 02:10:30 <Jamal> "Oh, just fine ma'am, outside of...well, this."
  259. May 21 02:10:41 <Steve> Steve nods, and then looks to Nalia. "That's alright. Are you okay?" He looks himself over. "I must look a mess."
  260. May 21 02:11:29 <Garlyle> ...You are going to have a damn near insane time of actually replicating Tigre's escape plan - it's the middle of the city and these buildings are about 4-5 stories high.
  261. May 21 02:11:35 <Garlyle> Are you still going to try?
  262. May 21 02:12:32 <Kuji> Yes. I'm still running up the stairs.
  263. May 21 02:12:46 <Jamal> "Can you send out an alert to any other near by wanderers to get over here? We might need additional help trying to preserve the scene."
  264. May 21 02:13:55 <Trevor> A rumbling can be heard... Faint at first, but rapdily getting louder. The wail of a Donphan barreling down the streets can be heard, along with that of a screaming boy and a crying squirrel. Abe barrels past, spilling his formerly mounted contents unto the pavement in front of the scene of the accident without the silightest regard for its previous passengers. (Read as : Attempt to screw
  265. May 21 02:13:55 <Trevor> the rules which can easily be removed if need be... Oh look, a call for Wanderers!)
  266. May 21 02:13:58 <Garlyle> "I... I'm fine, I'm just... you... you saved him, right? I mean, you've got blood on your clothes, but..." she's very flustered unlike her former composure.
  267. May 21 02:14:24 <Jamal> "I didn't save him, Steve here did," he points to the medic.
  268. May 21 02:14:28 <Garlyle> "You know I can't do that," Granny shakes her head. "I don't do that."
  269. May 21 02:14:42 <Garlyle> (Jamal: Sorry, I should've specified - that first one was Nalia)
  270. May 21 02:14:48 <Jamal> "Bah :I"
  271. May 21 02:15:20 <Jamal> "What in the -"
  272. May 21 02:15:36 <Steve> "I did my best," Steve answers Nalia with a smile. "Once the paramedics arrive, he should hopefully make a recovery." He looks at his clothes. "I should get this cleaned, though..."
  273. May 21 02:16:09 <Garlyle> Speaking of which, the paramedics are here.
  274. May 21 02:16:30 <Garlyle> And the other officers present are busy shoving people aside to make room for them.
  275. May 21 02:16:40 * Jamal stands to the crowd that Alpha is probably failing to scare, silly cute teddibears
  276. May 21 02:16:55 <Jamal> "Everyone, I need you to STAND ASIDE. Let the paramedics through."
  277. May 21 02:17:02 <Jamal> 1d20+15 chachacha
  278. May 21 02:17:03 <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, chachacha: 17 [1d20=2]
  279. May 21 02:17:14 <Trevor> (NONE of the Charisma)
  280. May 21 02:17:16 <Jamal> (>>a 2, a friggen 2.)
  281. May 21 02:17:16 <Garlyle> Jamal becomes moses and performs the parting of the people
  282. May 21 02:17:39 <Steve> (How did he get a 15 bonus my goodness)
  283. May 21 02:17:49 <Jamal> (I'm a detective AND a captain.)
  284. May 21 02:17:50 <Garlyle> (Detective/Captain shenanigans)
  285. May 21 02:17:58 <Steve> (That'd do it)
  286. May 21 02:18:10 * Jamal calls his deputies to the side, and lets the medics through, all professional like.
  287. May 21 02:18:26 <Trevor> Trevor pulls himself up off the ground. How the hell does this kid even take so much physical abuse from that Donphan, on either a physical or emotional level? Regardless, he pulls himself up off the ground after being flopped about and picks up Trudy the now scatterbrained Pachirisu. He can't help but attempt to try and peer into the mess that unfurled not so long ago.
  288. May 21 02:19:22 <Garlyle> The paramedics hurry in to retrieve the man, lead by a woman with long black hair tied into a single braid. "You!" She points to Steve quickly, seeing the blood on his clothes. "What happened to him? And are you hurt in any way?"

  292.  
  293. May 21 02:19:42 <Jamal> "He's the one who saved him, ma'am"
  294. May 21 02:20:13 <Steve> Steve gets to his feet, and bows in greeting and respect. "He was attacked and nearly killed. I did my best to stabilize him."
  295. May 21 02:21:12 <Garlyle> "Yes, I gathered that from the call. -How- was he wounded? We need to know immediately; as much as you can tell us!" she looks quite rushed, albeit fairly composed about it.
  296. May 21 02:22:23 <Steve> Steve nods, and goes into detail, describing the assault, how he was stabbed with two blades, how their shout of alarm made the attacker flinch and turn the cut from a clean kill to a fatal wounding.
  297. May 21 02:22:33 <Garlyle> Perception check, Trevor, as you fight to sneak a look past the deputies and Alpha that are blocking view
  298. May 21 02:22:43 <Steve> He describes the wound when he started tending to it, and what he did to stabilize him and stop the bleeding.
  299. May 21 02:22:45 <Trevor> 1d20+2 How does this work?
  300. May 21 02:22:46 <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, How does this work?: 13 [1d20=11]
  301. May 21 02:22:47 <Jamal> GURR IM A BURR
  302. May 21 02:24:02 <Garlyle> "...And... and you saved him!?" she looks thuroughly surprised after hearing the wounds, and looks over to one of the paramedics, who nods. "What the--oh, it doesn't matter, no time. Thank you, young man," she nods her head at him and hurries out into the van.
  303. May 21 02:24:27 <Garlyle> Trevor: You're unable to see anything - at least until they're clearing a path and you're pretty sure there's a body being moved into the ambulence.
  304. May 21 02:24:33 <Garlyle> And blood. A bloody body.
  305. May 21 02:24:43 <Jamal> "I must commend you, by the way, Steve, on saving ANYONE from El Tigre Chang."
  306. May 21 02:24:49 <Jamal> "that's practically unheard of."
  307. May 21 02:25:01 <Trevor> (How close would "Exact location" need to be for Hour's Past to work? Would he be sufficiently close?)
  308. May 21 02:25:34 <Trevor> Trevor looks on, surprisingly unphased by what parts of the bloody mess he's able to see.
  309. May 21 02:25:37 <Kuji> (...exact, probably.)
  310. May 21 02:25:42 <Garlyle> Oh, right, and getting back to Kuji since I missed that somehow - getting to the roof takes you a good couple minutes, especially after trying to convince the shop owner to let you go into the back and up.
  311. May 21 02:26:05 <Garlyle> Once you're up there... wisdom check?
  312. May 21 02:26:10 <Kuji> 1d20-4
  313. May 21 02:26:11 <DiceMaid-9001> Kuji, 1d20-4: 10 [1d20=14]
  314. May 21 02:26:15 <Steve> Steve actually starts to go red in the face, flustered. "Really? I didn't know the extent..." He clears his head, and looks around, wondering if Granny was still around, and if he could possibly ask her some questions.
  315. May 21 02:26:54 <Garlyle> Granny is waiting nearby, lighting up a smoke.
  316. May 21 02:27:18 <Kuji> "...oh... hi... what are you doing here?"
  317. May 21 02:27:22 <Garlyle> ...You can't see him. It's just... rooftops, undisturbed.
  318. May 21 02:27:28 <Garlyle> (Kuji: That wasn't for you)
  319. May 21 02:27:30 <Kuji> Oh.
  320. May 21 02:27:32 <Kuji> Sorry.
  321. May 21 02:27:35 <Garlyle> (Granny's line, anyway)
  322. May 21 02:27:45 * Kuji looks around, looking flustered...
  323. May 21 02:27:47 <Kuji> 1d20-4
  324. May 21 02:27:47 <Jamal> "in any case..." he starts to look around, opening up his case for collecting evidence...It really doesn't seem like he left ANYTHING. Charly, place up this police security ribbon," he hands the scyther the roll, to go to work with it.
  325. May 21 02:27:48 <DiceMaid-9001> Kuji, 1d20-4: -2 [1d20=2]
  326. May 21 02:27:52 <Trevor> (Oh boy.)
  327. May 21 02:28:03 <Kuji> (OHSHIT. It finally happened.)
  328. May 21 02:28:22 <Garlyle> You can probably guess what paths he might have taken - but it could be any of a number of ways, especially with the ability to climb further up if necessary.
  329. May 21 02:28:28 <Kuji> ...and looks down at the scene down below...
  330. May 21 02:28:30 <Kuji> 1d20
  331. May 21 02:28:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Kuji, 1d20: 17 [1d20=17]
  332. May 21 02:29:19 <Garlyle> All Jamal is able to find are a few pawprints in the dust - and they're way too familiar. They're definitely the pawprints of El Tigre's costume
  333. May 21 02:29:55 <Kuji> ...and for some reason, catches himself before falling over. "...let's go back." he said, before heading, slowly, back to Jamal.
  334. May 21 02:30:09 <Jamal> "bah, that's no good...but I gotta go through procedures anyway..." he starts to take pictures of them and stuff.
  335. May 21 02:32:40 <Steve> Steve approaches Granny, letting her know his presence so he doesn't startle her. Although, even if this weren't already a nerve wracking situation, he doubted she'd be startled by anything he did. "Mrs Granny?" he asked. "Who was the victim?"
  336. May 21 02:33:19 <Trevor> "Um, excuse me, Officer Jamal, was it?" Trevor calls out to him.
  337. May 21 02:33:46 * Jamal has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  338. May 21 02:33:51 * Jamal (durrhurr@sux-D3486381.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #AlthoRegion
  339. May 21 02:33:57 <Trevor> (Motherfucking... :/ Oh, nevermind)
  340. May 21 02:34:08 <Garlyle> "Hmm?" Granny tilts her head a little, and seems to think... then, surprising nobody: "...Can't tell you."
  341. May 21 02:34:11 * Kuji gets back to Jamal and sighs. "Anything you need, sir?"
  342. May 21 02:34:27 <Jamal> "hm? Trevor! I was hoping another one of us would show up..."
  343. May 21 02:34:27 <Trevor> (Trevor called over to Jamal if you didn't get that)
  344. May 21 02:34:59 <Trevor> "Well, it wasn't exactly of my own volition..." He chuckles, then points off into the distance where Abe might have run.
  345. May 21 02:35:21 <Jamal> "Um...I'm not sure Kuji - guessing you didn't see anything noteworthy up there. Guess we should just finish tapering off the scene, see if we can find ANYTHING, and then wait for the actual CSI to get here."
  346. May 21 02:35:40 * Jamal Charly seems to be making good progress on this, what is this I don't even.
  347. May 21 02:36:17 <Kuji> "Yeah..." Kuji looked over, completely ignoring Trevor, and turned back, looking for something...
  348. May 21 02:36:35 <Steve> Steve liked to think of himself as a nice guy, but seriously, come on. "That man was killed outside your building by a serial killer slash super villain. I might have risked my life trying to save him. Can't I at least get a hint?"
  349. May 21 02:37:37 <Trevor> Trevor makes his way into the taped off area, or rather attempts to, hoping he doesn't end up completely entangled in what police tape and barricades may have already been set up. He then begins to survey the area, careful not to touch any of what little evidence or blood was present. (Hour's Past + Clairaudience)
  350. May 21 02:37:39 * Jamal continues to snoop around, knowing he won't find much but...
  351. May 21 02:37:53 <Garlyle> "...And why do you think I'd know?" her voice has gone down a decibel. It's... warning?
  352. May 21 02:38:24 <Jamal> Bravo tugs on Steven's arm, shaking his head from side to side...
  353. May 21 02:39:05 <Garlyle> Trevor: People, people, empty, empty, empty, Steve saving a man's life, empty, empty, purrloin waltzing through the alley, people, people, oh hey there's the murder
  354. May 21 02:39:19 <Steve> Steve was about to answer, but then remembered what the note specifically asked him. He stops, and looks a bit sorry. "I just thought you might know if he were a Wanderer himself," he admits.
  355. May 21 02:39:22 <Garlyle> Nothing in particular of the audio catches your attention
  356. May 21 02:39:53 * Jamal sighs.
  357. May 21 02:39:58 <Jamal> "One day, we'll catch that man."
  358. May 21 02:39:59 <Garlyle> "...Even if he was one, we don't divulge the identities of our members," she tells him.
  359. May 21 02:40:00 <Jamal> "One day"
  360. May 21 02:40:20 <Kuji> "Someday..."
  361. May 21 02:40:24 * Jamal rallies up his deputies and returns them to their cute little pokeballs.
  362. May 21 02:40:41 <Jamal> "Unfortionately...he's really good at what he does, and he's bested us again."
  363. May 21 02:40:56 <Jamal> "all I found were a few paw prints from the suit, doesn't do us any good, we got TONS of those."
  364. May 21 02:41:12 <Trevor> Trevor visibly flinches when he has the mental "flashback" of the murder, and possibly from any sounds involved in the associated panic (Activate Image Tailing - Murderer)
  365. May 21 02:41:44 <Garlyle> ...Such is the situation, except this time, things are a little different. ...For one, you have a victim that's still alive; for two, you have a witness - Steve.
  366. May 21 02:41:55 <Garlyle> (Roll for it)
  367. May 21 02:42:08 <Jamal> (oh, right, question about the hq, does it have any facilities at all for general wanderer use, or just an office?)
  368. May 21 02:42:14 <Trevor> 1d20+7 Need 15+
  369. May 21 02:42:15 <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, Need 15+: 11 [1d20=4]
  370. May 21 02:42:18 <Trevor> (Bastard.)
  371. May 21 02:42:27 <Garlyle> (It really is just an office)
  372. May 21 02:42:40 <Garlyle> You try to follow that psychic image of the killer - but he scrambles away from you.
  373. May 21 02:42:40 <Jamal> "However..."
  374. May 21 02:42:44 <Trevor> (I knew I shoulda taken Probability control)
  375. May 21 02:42:46 <Trevor> (FUCK.)
  376. May 21 02:42:49 <Jamal> 1d20 how slow is jamal
  377. May 21 02:42:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, how slow is jamal: 4 [1d20=4]
  378. May 21 02:42:51 <Kuji> 1d20-4 wakeup
  379. May 21 02:42:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Kuji, wakeup: 9 [1d20=13]
  380. May 21 02:43:07 <Jamal> "...there's something slightly different here then before..."
  381. May 21 02:43:09 * Kuji snaps back to existance. "Oh, what? Huh..."
  382. May 21 02:43:13 <Jamal> "It...isn't quite reaching me..."
  383. May 21 02:43:24 <Jamal> 1d20 come on you goof
  384. May 21 02:43:25 <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, come on you goof: 7 [1d20=7]
  385. May 21 02:43:29 <Jamal> "...hm"
  386. May 21 02:43:41 <Kuji> "Jamal, what is it?"
  387. May 21 02:43:48 <Trevor> *Muttering to himself* "That... Was rather well-executed," he can't help but admit. "Could have easily been flawless."
  388. May 21 02:44:00 <Trevor> (Also, I TOTALLY saw that failure coming, like a mile away. Dx)
  389. May 21 02:44:18 <Jamal> "What did you see, trev - "
  390. May 21 02:44:21 <Jamal> "OOOOOH"
  391. May 21 02:44:29 <Kuji> Garlyle: FEAT POINT > You're Doing It Wrong!
  392. May 21 02:44:33 * Jamal turns to the lady and Steve
  393. May 21 02:44:43 <Jamal> "WE HAVE WITNESSES."
  394. May 21 02:44:48 <Kuji> "Trevor... what are you trying to do?"
  395. May 21 02:45:02 <Steve> Steve bows his head, and nods to Granny. "I understan--" Steve flinches at Jamal's shout.
  396. May 21 02:45:03 <Garlyle> The lady... is not there anymore? She appears to have vanished into the crowds.
  397. May 21 02:45:07 <Jamal> "and a surviving victim..."
  398. May 21 02:45:12 <Jamal> "or...a witness."
  399. May 21 02:45:35 <Jamal> "coulda sworn I told alpha to barricade the scene...silly bear, he'll learn someday."
  400. May 21 02:45:44 <Trevor> "I'm... Not doing much of anything... Just... Searching for something."
  401. May 21 02:46:02 <Kuji> "Here. If you're searching, concentrate..."
  402. May 21 02:46:05 <Garlyle> Kuji: You're Doing It Wrong does not grant you psychic powers
  403. May 21 02:46:12 * Kuji takes a slow, deep-
  404. May 21 02:46:14 <Garlyle> You're looking for "Let me help you with that"
  405. May 21 02:46:27 <Jamal> "Steve, we're gonna need you to come to the station with us to get an actual report of what happened."
  406. May 21 02:46:33 <Kuji> (I know, but I'm helping him try to concentrate.)
  407. May 21 02:46:45 <Jamal> "It's EXTREMELY rare that someone gets that close to El Tigre Chang, and lives to tell the tale."
  408. May 21 02:46:48 <Kuji> (If I fluff it right, can I do it?)
  409. May 21 02:47:08 <Trevor> (Perhaps he can help me focus enough that I can get the image? :D)
  410. May 21 02:47:27 <Garlyle> (Not for that feat, since it means -you- make the new check for it - and you are unable to target a psychic image)
  411. May 21 02:47:44 <Kuji> (Ah, true... darn it.)
  412. May 21 02:48:14 <Kuji> (I'll keep the feat point traded in just in case, though.)
  413. May 21 02:48:59 <Kuji> -breath, and looks to Trevor. "...you just lost it, didn't you?"
  414. May 21 02:48:59 <Steve> Steve nods, and recalls Gaav. He holds his Pokeball to his chest, and mutters an apology under his breath. He then turns to Nalia. "Sounds like the police have narrowed the people they still need to question down to me. You going to be okay?"
  415. May 21 02:49:20 <Jamal> (Apparantly, she ran off :O )
  416. May 21 02:49:28 <Garlyle> Once again: Nalia has vanished into the crowds and is gone.
  417. May 21 02:50:24 <Steve> (Oh right)
  418. May 21 02:50:49 <Steve> Steve nods, and recalls Gaav. He holds his Pokeball to his chest, and mutters an apology under his breath. "Alright, office. Ready to go."
  419. May 21 02:51:01 <Trevor> "I . . . Had an idea of where he might have went, but it slipped. I'm sorry," he says, holding his head in frustration and somewhat paied.
  420. May 21 02:51:25 <Trevor> (pained *)
  421. May 21 02:51:27 <Jamal> "Guess we should...get goin' then. We'll let the CSI's waste time when they show up, nothing of notice far as i can tell."
  422. May 21 02:51:36 <Kuji> "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. At least you can figure that out, right?"
  423. May 21 02:52:05 <Trevor> (Why the fuck did I take Polearm Proficiency anyways? I KNEW I shoulda taken Prob control :/ )
  424. May 21 02:52:11 <Jamal> "And Trevor, get Abe in his pokeball, or get a permit to ride him down the street, I coulda sworn I told you taht earlier >:O"
  425. May 21 02:52:17 <Trevor> (This coulda been the lead into something BIG.)
  426. May 21 02:52:27 * CounterBeard has quit (Quit: CounterBeard)
  427. May 21 02:53:01 <Jamal> "actually, screw it, you're coming with us, and Charly will help you fill out the form!"
  428. May 21 02:53:16 <Trevor> "I apologize about that... He's been acting out a lot more than usual since the New Years' festivities."
  429. May 21 02:53:32 * Kuji nodded and looked to Trevor. "Alright. You shouldn't be here. Why are you here, anyways?"
  430. May 21 02:53:37 <Trevor> "He was always mischievious and energetic, but this is taking it to elevated heights."
  431. May 21 02:53:47 <Trevor> "Abe. Need I say more?"
  432. May 21 02:54:33 <Trevor> He points to his Pachirisu, who is still pretty out of it and in a "Uhh wha?!?" kind of daze where she's kinda seeing stars from all the roughhousing Abe put him through. Conor also staggers over, having been lost some blocks ago.
  433. May 21 02:54:36 <Kuji> "...alright, I'll help you find him again. Jamal, can you escort Steve to the police station? I'll be there in a bit."
  434. May 21 02:54:57 <Jamal> "Aye, let's do that," he ducks under the tape and heads to the car, beckoning Steve to follow
  435. May 21 02:55:31 * Kuji follows Jamal, waiting for Trevor to follow him.
  436. May 21 02:55:36 <Trevor> "Allow me just a moment more, please." He searches around the area once again, this time looking for anything else that might have been left behind.
  437. May 21 02:55:57 <Jamal> (and with that I'm gonna pass out for now @_@ unless you got something else planned, omg 6 AM fuck the sun is rising)
  438. May 21 02:56:01 <Trevor> (Itemfinder - Possibly getting some relevant shit)
  439. May 21 02:56:18 <Garlyle> (Roll for it, of course
  440. May 21 02:56:23 <Trevor> 3#1d20+7
  441. May 21 02:56:24 <DiceMaid-9001> Trevor, 3#1d20+7: 15 [1d20=8], 26 [1d20=19], 15 [1d20=8]
  442. May 21 02:56:44 <Kuji> (Got one!)
  443. May 21 02:56:49 <Steve> Steve was worried. Oh no. Not the car again.
  444. May 21 02:57:03 <Trevor> (The car? Oh GOD, not the car!)
  445. May 21 02:57:17 <Garlyle> You find a paralysis heal in the trash. How mildly disconcerting.
  446. May 21 02:57:46 <Trevor> (And that brings my total of Parlyz Heals I'll never use up to 6. WHOO!)
  447. May 21 02:58:06 * Kuji gave a weird look to Trevor. "What the heck are you doing?"
  448. May 21 02:58:34 <Jamal> (Yeah, I'm just gonna get to bed I think, sorry Gabe if you had other things planned for us @_@)
  449. May 21 02:58:44 <Garlyle> (Nah, s'alright)
  450. May 21 02:58:47 <Trevor> "I was running over the area to see if perhaps anything, even something subtle, was left from the scene. A loose button, stray shoelace perhaps."
  451. May 21 02:59:00 * Jamal goes on auto pilot
  452. May 21 02:59:04 <Kuji> "Did you find anything?"
  453. May 21 02:59:12 <Garlyle> He searched for evidence and all he got was this lousy Paralyze Heal
  454. May 21 02:59:29 * Jamal is now known as zoofman
  455. May 21 02:59:33 * zoofman has quit (Quit: )
  456. May 21 03:00:10 <Trevor> "Anything that could have given us more identification... Though I don't think anything's presence." He's about to toss the Parlyz Heal he found to Kuji, but hesitates a moment. (Hours' Past and stuffs - Did this belong to El Tigre Chang?)
  457. May 21 03:00:30 <Garlyle> Nein.
  458. May 21 03:00:39 <Garlyle> It's been sitting in the trash can for at least an hour
  459. May 21 03:00:42 <Trevor> (And more reliving the murder sequence from Clairaudience... Yay!)
  460. May 21 03:01:07 <Garlyle> Also there wasn't any screams or anything, so you don't really hear much
  461. May 21 03:01:19 <Kuji> (...clairsentients must be the most screwed up kind of psychic out there.)
  462. May 21 03:01:59 <Trevor> (Considering the source of Trevor's powers... He's got it pretty messed up. It's torment whenever most of the powers activate to him.)
  463. May 21 03:02:27 * Kuji beckons towards Trevor. "So, Abe? Find?"
  464. May 21 03:02:49 <Garlyle> (Also this is probably a good place to call a session end)
  465. May 21 03:02:54 <Trevor> He cringes a moment more, though it may just come across as squinting to an untrained eye, and tosses it over to Kuji. "Never mind. But rallying up Abe? That's probably the best... Chances are he might be destroying something else at the moment."
  466. May 21 03:02:59 <Steve> (Agreed. Getting late on this end)
  467. May 21 03:03:13 <Kuji> "That's true."
  468. May 21 03:03:14 <Steve> (This is starting to be sessions that continue for a few days, right?)
  469. May 21 03:03:37 <Garlyle> Not really. I'm going to start timejumping a little more.
  470. May 21 03:04:05 <Garlyle> Also: There IS, in fact, a reward for this session. It will not be given to you right away however.
  471. May 21 03:04:08 <Kuji> "By the way, what is this?"
  472. May 21 03:04:23 <Trevor> (Oh yeah... I thought of two in-character goals for Trevor that might be relevant later.)
  473. May 21 03:05:14 <Trevor> "This? It's just a Parlyz Heal. It's probably irrelevant, however. It doesn't feel any less than room... Err... Outside temperature."
  474. May 21 03:05:21 <Steve> (oh my)
  475. May 21 03:05:42 <Kuji> "...what do Paralyz Heals do?"
  476. May 21 03:06:19 <Kuji> (Yes, that's how sucky of a trainer Kuji is.)
  477. May 21 03:06:38 <Trevor> "They just help clear the Pokemon's senses; liberate them from the debilitating effects of spore-based toxins, neurosystemic damage and the like. They're quite handy. I carry plenty myself, along with other healing inventory."
  478. May 21 03:07:17 * Kuji looked at the Paralyz Heal, and tossed it back to Trevor. "I probably won't be needing this. Now, let's find Abe."
  479. May 21 03:07:34 * Kuji said, as he lifted Trevor onto his shoulders again.
  480. May 21 03:07:59 <Kuji> (Yes, a call back. DEAL.)
  481. May 21 03:08:01 <Trevor> He opens his messenger bag, revealing all sorts of healing items as he manages to somehow catch it... Did it slow down or something? and, "Oh my," he can't help but exclaim. What is he, a toddler?
  482. May 21 03:08:30 <Trevor> (How DID Kuji grab him? By the waist again, or yanked him by the arms or something?)
  483. May 21 03:08:41 <Trevor> (Is he now hanging on Kuji's back or something?)
  484. May 21 03:08:43 <Kuji> (Same as last time.)
  485. May 21 03:09:16 <Trevor> "I'm... Not incapable of walking. Abe is more often than not the reason I end up on the floor on any given incident."
  486. May 21 03:09:34 <Kuji> "Yes, but you'll be able to see better up there."
  487. May 21 03:10:19 <Trevor> "Fair... enough," he says, though he can't help but feel a little bit undignified riding atop Kuji as if he were a 21st century re-telling of "Freak the Mighty".
