[23:31]	Agamedes	[Everyone is dead]
[23:32]	`GM	[Camera slow zoom from the Earth in orbit to a two-story house in an unassuming town in upstate New York.  It's a nice house on a decently-sized piece
of property, and still in good upkeep.]
[23:35]	Agamedes	was off wandering the house, bored out of her mind going armless as its more comfortable for her. Even though she was used to it , it still felt weird for the girl to look intently at where her arms used to be.
[23:36]	Karan	Karan stands in the center of a spacious living room, floating several blades in front of her as targets. After they reposition themselves they are quickly struck by the flat of other blades, and quickly reposition again. Occasionally, she mixes things up with a kick or punch.
[23:38]	Karan	Given the intensity of the workout, her outfit looks more like that of a jogger than a bred and built weapon.
[23:38]	`GM	[Jenna is busy working out on a bowflex in an adjoining room.  The tension on the wires is set pretty low, and she moves slowly, testing her limits after that stab in the back.]
[23:39]	Agamedes	"Food runs are boring now, now those people are giving me free things. Maybe, probably? ....probably How much longer are we going to stay here for?"
[23:40]	`GM	Jenna:  "DO I HEAR YOU WHINING OVER THERE AGAIN?!"
[23:40]	`GM	Jenna:  "WHAT DID I TELL YOU I WOULD DO IF I HEARD YOU WHINING AGAIN?!"
[23:43]	Agamedes	"That you'd get me real arms and things like that. Right?" She'd flop down on a sofa mumbling incoherently into the sea3t.
[23:43]	Tyro	"Agamedes, just call it commandeering. We have full authority." Tyro likewise is training, tossing baseballs into the air with underhand throws and throwing directed shockwaves to destroy them in midair.
[23:44]	`GM	Jenna:  "THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID, DAMMIT GET ME A TOWEL GIRL."
[23:45]	Agamedes	"I can get you a towel boy? Or are you sexist still big sis?" She'd lift up her head taking pot shots at her sister, bored out of her mind.
[23:47]	Tyro	Tyro calls back. "I can always get the water off you with some shockwaves! I could use the practice with my accuracy."
[23:47]	Karan	Hearing Big Sis's demand, Karan stops her training mid-kick. Quickly, yet with poise, her blades assume a standard wing formation behind her and she sets about bringing a towel. The order is filled shortly.
[23:47]	Karan	"Here you are."
[23:48]	Agamedes	"Would you be angry if I went out armless sis? I wanna go ouuuttttttt..."
[23:50]	`GM	[Jenna groans and takes the towel, then throws it on the ground.]
[23:50]	`GM	Jenna:  "I didn't ask YOU."
[23:50]	`GM	[Jenna is clearly in a grumpy mood.]
[23:50]	`GM	Jenna:  "MEDES PICK THIS SHIT UP!"
[23:51]	Karan	Karan steps aside to leave a clear path to the towel.
[23:52]	Karan	"How do you feel? You look like you've regained most of your strength."
[23:52]	Agamedes	"Okayyyyyy" She'd slowly make her way torwards where SIs is and appraoched her and picking it up with her feet and tossing it over the girls shoulder. "Want me to join you too?"
[23:52]	`GM	[Jenna stands up from the bowflex and walks into the living room with the others, rolling her left arm around and still wincing every cycle.]
[23:53]	`GM	Jenna:  "You'd have fun if you did, so, no."
[23:53]	`GM	Jenna:  >:|
[23:54]	`GM	[Jenna turns to Karan instead, still grumpy.]
[23:54]	`GM	Jenna:  "I LOOK like it.  Damn it'd be nice to bounce back like you girls..."
[23:55]	Karan	"Agreed..."
[23:55]	Agamedes	The armless girl would go into Jenna's room and throw it all over her bed before silently walking back out torwards the living room. "OKayyyy I'm doneee"
[23:55]	Karan	clasps her hands behind her back.
[23:55]	Karan	"Sorry I didn't catch the guy ahead of time."
[23:56]	`GM	Jenna: "Shit happens."
[23:56]	Tyro	Tyro whips around and blasts a wave of air at Jenna, blowing some of the sweat off of her.
[23:56]	`GM	[Jenna nods in Tyro's direction.]
[23:57]	`GM	Jenna:  "Running away yet?"
[23:59]	`GM	Jenna:  "Actually, no, changed my mind, don't answer that.  Done with WHAT, loser?"
[23:59]	Tyro	"You see a hole in the wall, sis?" Tyro shifts her weight and uses her other hand to send another wave of air at Jenna.
[00:02]	Agamedes	"Ok, ohhh... I'll do this." She'd begin to make circles around Jenna utterying a certain phrase, "Hey! Listen! Hey Listen!" Hey! Listen!"
[00:04]	Karan	Karan casually lets one blade float to Agamedes's head level and another her shin level, blunt ends towards her.
[00:07]	`GM	[Jenna rubs her temples and turns away.]
[00:07]	Agamedes	"Ow--hey! Listen! Hey-o-- hey listen! Listen! Listen! Hey!" She'd go even faster around Jenna.
[00:07]	`GM	Jenna:  "SHUT UP, just, all of you, SHUT, UP!"
[00:09]	`GM	[Jenna flops into a chair and begins to sulk.]
[00:11]	Agamedes	"Ok finnneee, how many bottles of Vicodin will it take today sis? Maybe go for a three?"
[00:12]	`GM	[There is a knock at the front door.]
[00:12]	Tyro	"We're bored, sis. Not sure why you're surprised." She passes shockwaves through the chair, then suddenly stops and looks towards the door.
[00:12]	Karan	Karan's gaze locks on it instantly and strides towards it, hiding her blades behind or under various furniture as she approaches.
[00:12]	Agamedes	"Ok fine, four bottl--- oh door. Someone order osmething?"
[00:16]	Tyro	"I wish." Tyro moves along with Karan, adjusting her (not all that effective) sports bra on the way.
[00:17]	Karan	She sternly glances at each occupant in turn, impressing upon them the possible severity of the situation. She looks through the frosted glass and speaks through the closed door.
[00:17]	Agamedes	"Oh hold on, lemme go grab my arms and stuff, I got a better idea!~" She'd scamper off, losing interest in being an annoying fairy to go back to her room to plop her normal outfit back on with her arms as well.
[00:17]	Karan	Notably, one blade hides against the flat of the door, ready for immediate action.
[00:17]	Karan	"Hello?"
[00:22]	Tyro	Tyro is not quite as reserved, opening the door just enough to look through it without letting the other party get a good look at her. She tenses up her off hand, just in case.
[00:25]	Meredith	summons her bunny in an inconspicuous location outside, and tries to look at the visitor through the bunny's eyes.
[00:26]	`GM	[Through the door Tyro sees a mousey-looking young lady dressed in simple jeans and a t-shirt, with stringy blonde hair and kind of bad skin, a large purse slung over her shoulder.]
[00:28]	Tyro	Tyro calls back. "Sis, we got a visitor. Doesn't look threatening. Should I threaten her?" She turns back, asking through the door. "What can I do for you, sweetie?"
[00:29]	Karan	facepalms silently behind the door. Subtlety: lacking.
[00:32]	`GM	[The young lady seems rather bored and nonplussed, like she doesn't really want to be there.  She looks at Tyro.]
[00:33]	`GM	Lady:  "Virago."
[00:33]	Agamedes	She'd only arrive after Tyro opens the door and stays hidden for the time being with one her chains ready in case it turns out to be hostile.
[00:34]	`GM	[The girl waits for a response.]
[00:35]	Tyro	Tyro smiles, keeping her arm tense. She opens the door enough for her to be clearly visible, although not the other occupants. "Well, I was just wondering what I'd have to do to get myself a delicious day." She chuckles. "Sorry, I'm mad hungry. Who're you?"
[00:36]	Agamedes	"Oh someone knows your codename, must be important or something!"
[00:36]	`GM	[The girl rolls her eyes and humphs, putting her free hand on her hip.]
[00:37]	`GM	Lady:  "And that was Slattern."
[00:38]	Karan	Karan hides her last blade and enters view.
[00:38]	Agamedes	"Oh, its her. Let her in she's kay!" She has no idea who it is but she has an idea as very few people who even know thier codename.
[00:38]	`GM	[The woman barely even needs to glance at Karan as she comes into view.]
[00:38]	Karan	"You seem to know a lot about us; why are you here?"
[00:39]	`GM	Lady:  "I want to talk to Sister."
[00:40]	Tyro	"Good for you. Why should you get to?" Tyro sounds like she's trying to start a fight.
[00:41]	Agamedes	"Relax Tyro! She's kay! Sis, someone's come to see us. She knows all of our birth names!"
[00:42]	Karan	"That doesn't mean she isn't a threat, you know," Karan chimes, keeping a hand on the door.
[00:43]	`GM	Lady:  "Because I'm her sister too, and there's four of you."
[00:44]	Agamedes	"Sorry lady, she's one of the newer girls so she don't know how important you are!!~" She'd smile appering full bodied in front of the stranger.
[00:46]	`GM	[The girl maintains her bored expression as Medes bounds in front.]
[00:46]	`GM	Lady:  "And neither do you."
[00:46]	Karan	Karan surveys the room.
[00:47]	Karan	"You seem to know our names, so I'd guess you have an idea of our capabilities, too."
[00:47]	Agamedes	"Awwww, you're no fun. Sis, you coming to greet your sister or what?" She'd address Jenna.
[00:48]	Karan	Voice slightly raised, she asks: "Big sis, should we let her in?"
[00:48]	`GM	Jenna:  "Well who the hell is it?"
[00:48]	`GM	[The girl at the door dulls her eyes at Karan.]
[00:48]	Tyro	"Ooh, how cryptic." Tyro rolls her eyes. "Let me guess, we let you through or we're in trouble?" Tyro blows some air upwards, to get some hair out of her eyes. "And you're big and scary and we don't want to see you get
angry?"
[00:49]	Karan	"No need to start anything, Tyro."
[00:49]	`GM	[The girl dulls her eyes DOUBLE at Tyro.]
[00:49]	Agamedes	"The project! Let's bring her back there!"
[00:50]	Karan	Karan shouts back again: "Someone 'important'. Who knows our names by voice or a glance."
[00:50]	`GM	Lady:  "Vira, please.  You're better than that."
[00:51]	`GM	Jenna:  "Ahh dammit, hang on."
[00:52]	`GM	[Jenna lurches out of the lounge chair and sticks her head from behind the living room door frame.]
[00:52]	Agamedes	"We're all in trouble nooowwwww! Spankings abound!!~"
[00:52]	`GM	Jenna:  "I can't see her if you're all in the way, you know."
[00:53]	Karan	Karan steps aside, but not by far.
[00:53]	Meredith	heads back to Big Sis.
[00:53]	Tyro	Tyro moves her neck around once, keeping her focus on the unknown lady. "I'm also bored." She relaxes her arm, but continues to block the doorway. "Magic word was missing, right? Would you please tell us who you are? Or do I have water in my ear?" She doesn't move, seeing as Jenna should see the new arrival through the space Karan has just moved out of.
[00:55]	`GM	[The unknown young lady and Jenna stare at each other, though the distance and all the people between them makes the scene rather awkward.  The girl at the door doesn't seem phased by Jenna's presence.  The reverse is hardly true.]
[00:55]	`GM	[Jenna sighs, perhaps in relief, and covers her face.]
[00:56]	Agamedes	"Can I punish Tyro for this later Sis?"
[00:57]	`GM	Jenna:  "...Well, what do YOU think, Shrew?  Should she punish Tyro for this later?"
[00:57]	`GM	[Jenna is clearly addressing the girl at the door.]
[00:57]	`GM	Jenna:  "Dammit how the hell...?"
[00:58]	`GM	["Shrew" rolls her eyes again.]
[00:58]	`GM	Shrew:  "Two weeks.  That's how the hell."
[00:59]	`GM	[Jenna ducks her head back behind the wall.]
[01:00]	`GM	Jenna:  "Let her in; she not one of the ones who'd kill me.  She'd find a smarter way."
[01:00]	Meredith	"Okay. I'll mak her some tea."
[01:00]	`GM	[The tone in Jenna's voice is somewhere between relief and disgust.]
[01:00]	Meredith	goes and gets it started.
[01:00]	Tyro	"...Yes, understood." Tyro moves out of the way.
[01:01]	Agamedes	The moment Tyro moved, the girl would suddenly hug Shrew. "Hello person I forgot! Nice to meet you again!"
[01:01]	Karan	"Hm." Karan reassumes a position right beside Jenna, summoning her wings to her in a minor show of force. She's not letting another knife slip through.
[01:02]	`GM	[Shrew does that thing that people who aren't expecting to be hugged do.]
