Bieta Linnete Vertigo Log

Log Lodge - Living Area(#10336RM)
	The interior of this spacious open concept lodge is built of cedar logs, with rustic features throughout. There are a few things that stand out about this place. Tree trunks run up through the construction of the house like pillars before spreading their slender branches flush up against the roof above. A slender tree trunk hooks back and forth, following the line of the stairway, which leads to the upstairs hallway before its limbs interweave themselves with the others up above.
	A stonework facade along one wall contains a large wood burning fire place, which provides some light and spreads warmth throughout the whole living area when a fire is lit on colder nights. Either votive and pillar candles spread throughout the area or electric lamps and recessed lights provide illumination. On either side of the stonework facade are picture windows, which allow for moonlight to spill into the room, washing the trees in silver and giving them the feel of a magical forest, as long as the moon is not new.

Huh?  (Type “help” for help.)

	You're looking at a cheerleader, with time, circumstances grinding them down to the level of mere mortals. Vibrant blonde hair that used to be pigtailed (Maybe it's just cowlicks rather than patterns forming, whatever) is chopped to a sidecut, the right side of her head buzzed to the skin and the left hanging off in a short little butch cut. Her eyes are blue, crystal clear, and hidden behind aviator lenses in smoky grey on top of a blunt nose that shows the imprint of wearing those glasses almost constantly; she doesn't have a tan but even LED-light pale skin is just a little lighter following the shadow the thin frames present. No makeup, nothing smoothing over dry skin and chapped lips or thick silver-blonde eyebrows. At least her ears are decorated, but simply by featureless and tiny silver studs.
	The black jacket is off the rack and doesn't fit too well, wrinkled and creased in the wrong places but polyester-smooth elsewhere, draping loosely over her shoulders in a hunched look with a white shirt underneath. It's all cleaned, bleached scrupulously and shining, but still has that ill-fitting hanging appearance over her prodigious chest. One of those vanity augments that's pushing up against what's already well developed and making her chest too prominent, making her plain black business tie look dorkishly short too with the point ending well above her waistband. The shirt has a slightly better fit around the wrists, with a wristwatch - cheap digital - and some tiny tattooing in underneath the watchband of that wrist. Fingernails are unpainted, blunt, and unevenly trimmed, like tuesday is for Thumbnails and wednesday for Pinkies and so on, or just whenever one snaps and splits.
	Black pants to match with it, and these don't fit that well. Most pants don't. Working women's sizes into coherent numbers and then translating that to a men's fit is an endeavor doomed to failure, with her wide hips requiring the pants to be hemmed up high to compensate. The wider waist and longer leg look only stretches so far before her pants need to be brought up and stitched to new cuffs to compensate for her thick ass filling up the polyblend cotton. At least her shoes are nice, masculine black wingtips which are polished scrupulously bright.

Identity Object
	"Good evening, doctor." It's polite and nice but Lin announces herself after stepping out of the shadow. After you've locked the door - the door is solidly locked - and slipped off your shoes, gotten comfortable, etc. There she is; Lin can crack that shithouse lock in seconds and anything short of Fort Knox securty is just child's play to her. On the bright side.. well, she likes your daughter. She's an impromtu babysitter that takes care of your spawn without complaint.
	"We have some things to talk about."

	Bieta had put Kasia to be ten minutes ago and she had gone into the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. When she comes out of the kitchen into the living area, she nearly drops the glass when she sees Linnete. Her face becomes unreadable and she tries to control her breathing, "What are you doing in my house?"
Linnete tilts her head, making a brief shrug. "I've been busy lately. Look, you deserve better." She's not lying; there's bruising that makes her pallid complexion into a dark blue to black sunset. Under the eyes, along the cheeks, etc. "You should sit down. You've heard awful things about me; /most/ of them are wrong."
	"No, you handed me a bunch of photocopies of police reports dealing with murder investigations which included mutilated pictures as a veiled threat." Bieta's voice has a hard quiet edge. "You did that. You've been...spying on my family and me before that?" Bieta looks towards the stairs and back at Linnete, "I am not alone here, I have a tenet..."
Linnete nods slightly, with a chagrined grimace showing up on her face. "Okay, tempting your curiosity didn't work." She flaps her free hand in a half-assed gallic shrug, "But that's what's out there. Look, you.." She's soon becoming frustrated, taxing her mid-Atlantic accent into a drawl, "Please. Let's discuss this rationally, okay? I want to give you the /entire/ world but this isn't going anywhere if.." She half-nods towards the stairs; towards ytour supposed tenant and where your daughter is sleeping, "Sit down."
	Bieta scoffs and says, "That is not what I call tempting someone's curiosity. Then you somehow manage to pick a double deadbolt lock unless you broke a window in order to get into my house." Bieta gestures towards her front door, "Excuse me, I think you need to leave."
Linnete tugs her injured arm closer to her body. And then she nods, "Okay. Sure. Look, just hear me out, okay?" She makes that last gasp. And when it seems like she;s about to get shoved out, she tugs away her shades. She folds them up reverentially and tucks them into the breast pocket of her suit, "Don't do this, Doctor. Give me.. five minutes of your time. Please."
	Bieta looks over Linnete and says, "You look like you have been in a street fight...like you are involved in something of which I would have no interest. Why should I give you five minutes?"
	"Because I love you." There it is. Baldly stated and no backing away; ansering the stiff question, Linnete provides a stiff response. And she's seriois about that shit; she may as well be chiselled from stone for how solid her expressions are.
	"Excuse me?" Bieta blinks. Her face turns white and a crease forms between her brows, "Other than the fact that I am straight..." Bieta takes a moment before she says, "It has not been a week since I saw my husband die violently right in front of me." She clenches her jaw. Her voice is little above a strained whisper when she says, "I do not know at what you are playing...but...it is cruel and sick." Bieta finds a surface where she can set down her glass of water.
	"Because I love you." Repeating that. Linnete without her glasses stares right into Bieta's eyes. "You have potential. Tell me to fuck off right now and we'll be done." But then she breathes in and delivers her pitch, "You're special. I will give my life to protect you, no matter what; that's what we do."
	"Who is 'we' Linnete? My daughter and I live a quiet simple life. My family has lived on this land out here for years without any trouble from our neighbors. Until recent, no one had done anything to make us believe we were in any kind of danger. From whom do you think Kasia and I need protection?" Bieta blinks. "I will not be intimidated into leaving my home and selling my land. I will not become involved with organized crime...I do not supply drugs and I do not take out bullets...I have to report bullet wounds to hospital just like any other Doctor."
	"You don't want to know." Standing up, the shades are slipped back into place as Linnete loooks away. "Horrors. I will die to keep you safe but you need to listen." She slaps her hand down on the table, "Stop bitching, stop following that stupid party line, and start /liistening/!"
	Bieta glares at Linnete. Crossing her arms, Bieta say, "You still have not told me who this 'we' is. I am listening."
Linnete takes a deep breath; then the exposition starts. "Hear me out or don't. It's your loss." She stands up and makes a fairly majestic figure, mirrorshades and all, "There is a rot at the center of life. Existence. It will destroy all of us if we don't work against it; everything you can imagine will be turned to /nothing/ if you don't help."
	Bieta stands there waiting for Linnete to continue.
Linnete is happy to do so! "There's a secret locked inside of your skull. I need it. But I need /you/ as well." She's starting to rant and slaver, whining as she tries to bring Bieta around to her way of thinking, "Please. Just.. just believe me! You'll save hundreds - thousands - of livess."
	"Linnete, you are not making much sense. You do not look like you are in very good shape. Were you in a car accident on the way over here?" Bieta picks up her glass of water and says, "Wait, right here." Bieta heads into the kitchen with the glass of water. When she returns she has a wireless landline phone in her hand. Bieta says, "Linnete, you sound really confused. I think I need to call for an ambulance."
Linnete takes the time to breathe deep, collect herself. "You're evil. What you do is catastrophic. I tried to warn you and you spat in my face." Metaphoeically of course. Lin looks at that glass of water with disgust. And a little sadness. "Doctor, I'm afraid your life is going to become very complicated. Could you get me some aspirin as well?"
	"Linnete, I'm not sure that would be good idea right now. If you are bleeding inside from injury, then aspirin would make it worse. Why don't you lie down on the sofa? Will you accept first aid?" Bieta  says.
Linnete pulls her pistol. One of them, anyway, and shoots Bieta in the back. "Deviant." There's no mercy there in her eyes behind her glasses; she targets the rubber bullet to the middle of Bieta's thighs, and then draws out a set of handcuffs. Normally the deviants end up crawfishing in pain, but she misses the moment to handcuff Bieta.
	Bieta screams as the rubber bullet hits her in the back and she stumbles forward. From her place on the floor, she strains to look back over her shoulder at Linnete. Her eyes widen when Linnete approaches her with handcuffs and she scrambles to her feet and away. Bieta makes a rush for the kitchen, seeking to place the island between herself and her attacker.
Linnete has been shooting and it's all gone downhill and thankfully the car is right outside. Otherwise, this would be considered a complete mess! "Let's go already, Doctor.." So in her other hand are handcuffs. Slick, shiny steel handcuffs. Certainly not a pistol because that would be weird and probably a little bit over the top.

<OOC> Vertigo says, "Linnete, I'm just in here so you can witness what goes on, Vertigo is actually in a van watching Scooby Doo in Chinatown."
<OOC> Vertigo will handle her phone call with the kiddo in a page though, to not spam your RP area till she needs to.
You paged Vertigo with ‘After hearing her Mother scream downstairs, Kasia goes into her mother's room and gets on the landline phone. She gets out a number her mother told her to use only in emergencies and then she climbs under the bed with the phone and the number. Kasia dials the number and waits.’
<Phone> (Vertigo talking to someone) Vertigo pulls out the emergency cell phone when it rings, flipping it open and looking at the number. She copies the number into her retrieval rote program with a single touch. This is why she makes her own O/S for her phones. She then answers. "Operator here. 10 seconds, stay frosty don't let go of the phone."

<OOC> Bieta says, "they aren't in the same room and right now, I think their attention is focused more on each other."
<OOC> Vertigo says, "I'll hold it for retcon if Linnete returns and does want to roll and possible interefere, but being in a totally different room and such I'll -assume- for now that trying to counter a scan of another area of a house isn't a priority."
<OOC> Bieta says, "Mike has his own stuff set up to scan the house but he is not online right now."
<OOC> Vertigo says, "Is Kasia a sleeper?"
<OOC> Bieta says, "Yes, Kasia is a sleeper."
<OOC> Vertigo chuckles. "Bout to catch that dox. lol"
<OOC> Vertigo says, "Okay, Corr 3, Life 2. Vulgar w/ Witnesses. Corr targeting at 1 sux required because I have a dna sample, and I'm bringing her to the phone I prepped for this rote. Base diff 8. Willpower for an automatic and reducing the difficulty by 2 with Quint. Only need 2 successes, but will extend if needed. I'll make the first roll and then wait on Linette, I don't want to jump too far ahead without giving her a reaction. So, rolling Arete vs 6 with 1 auto. And if it works and goes through, I'm taking 4 dox."

Vertigo pages: Well, while we have the time, what is in the room Bieta is in? I know B has a cell phone on her, but I'm wondering if there are cameras, TVs, anything with a monitor or camera on it
You paged Merek with ‘You were sleeping earlier when I tried to page you up for some rp. Being that you were one of the officers electing to check in on Bieta now and then? and Linnete broke into Bieta's house while Bieta was home.’
Merek pages: Ah.
Merek pages: I apologize, Merek would've come if asked.
Merek pages: >.<

Merek pages: Though Linette is aware there was more police presence than usual around there ya?

Merek pages: Arrival time varies, but he'd usually be coming from prospect.

Merek pages: That'll only become an issue if she decides to stay after hearing sirens.
	Bieta changes her mind about grabbing for the kitchen knife when Linnete level her firearm at Bieta. Bieta tries to run out of the kitchen and hears the firearm discharge behind her before she is struck in the back again. Bieta cries out and finds herself on her Living Area floor. She lets out a sob. Outside the house, Bieta thinks she hears a police car's siren sound off.
Linnete is chasing Bieta around and it's quickly becoming a Three Stooges sketch. She shoots the doctor in the back; her rubber bullets mean this is painful and awful instead of life ending. Then she tries to slap the cuffs on but Bieta keeps squirming away, "FUCK! Doctor! Stop this shit already!"
	Meanwhile, in Vertigo's van, Kasia is likely in shock from being teleported into the back of a van full of computers, a bed, and a mess of colorful clothing. Vertigo is pretty much making up swear words as she goes along, little sparks and moments of blackouts overtaking her monitors as reality isn't so pleased with the vulgar display. She's determined, however, and runs her Bietaevac.exe program, scanning the cabin for Bieta's exact location and bringing it up on her screen with a vantage point of either the closest camera or monitor, such as a television. (Which I'll roll for when yall want me to get into the init order)
	Once she gets back to her feet, Bieta flails out of the way of Linnete and her handcuffs. There are now flashing red and blue lights which can be seen through the glass in Beita's front door. For a split second Bieta glances towards the front door before she makes a run for it, screaming as loud as she can.
	Vertigo taps away at her keys, scanning the house and bringing up schematics, targeting the blip and zooming in through a television screen just as she sees someone grabbing and cuffing Bieta. "Don't worry kiddo, I'll get your mom." She says aloud over the blaring of Industrial music. She pans to get a better look at the room, seeing police lights through the window. "Not my weekend." She mutters and gets to work, typing away.

You paged Linnete with ‘For future reference, have you had problems with this player in the past that makes you want to avoid them now? If so, I will take that into account when I try to put something together.’
Linnete pages: No, but his being offends me.
You paged Linnete with ‘Would you be fine with Catherine?’

<OOC> Vertigo says, "I was discussing something with her in pages, my fault probably."
Linnete drags Bieta out of the house. There's cop, possibly; but what is certain is that the NWO has some people waiting. She shoves ?Bieta over towards her Black Shirt backup. "Keep her quiet."

<OOC> Vertigo says, "Well, I'm not stopping, so you can keep battling my magic but you can't drag Bieta easily while concentrating on me, so she might be able to get free lol"
You paged Yuri with ‘Bieta is in a game of tug of war where she gets to be the rope.’

<OOC> Vertigo says, "Good thing I am in a sanctum. Dropping all effects in the house and putting up a Corr ward to prevent backtracing. WP into that. So while Linnete figures out exactly what happened I'll be making sure she can't find the destination. Or probably failing the roll despite it being my sanctum and only a diff 4."

Linnete pages: You would've been a good Progenitor.
You paged Linnete with ‘I did not know that Vertigo had that discripancy on her character sheet. I'm sorry that happened.’
Linnete pages: We're all what God made us. :D
You paged Linnete with ‘True. I am sorry the both of you as players round up having a falling out over this.’
--------- New Activity ---------
Linnete pages: No, we're cool. :D
Long distance to Linnete: Bieta is confused. "Who did you not want to rp with again?"
--------- New Activity ---------
Linnete pages: Everything is fine. No one is mad at anyone, as far as I know./
You paged Linnete with ‘alright.’
From afar, Linnete hugs. You ought to join the Technocracy though.
You paged Linnete with ‘Val still keeps trying to get me to join the CoE even though I told her I was going orphan on day one. :)’
Linnete pages: Stop being an asshole and start listening to Lin.
You paged Linnete with ‘what?’
Linnete pages: Is there a rational reason not to listen to Linnete?
You paged Linnete with ‘Bieta thinks Linnete is a dangerous stalker.’
Linnete pages: Compared to who?
You paged Linnete with ‘Linnete told Bieta she loved her, would die for her and said some stuff that confused Bieta. Then when Bieta offered Linnete first aid and to call an ambulance, Linnete shot her in the back...more than once. She handcuffed Bieta and told her friends to pretty much stash her in their car, which is attempted kidnapping.’
You paged Linnete with ‘If NWO came up with our modern day psychology, then by their own profiling standards, that is not the behavior of a sane safe person.’
Vertigo has connected.
<OOC> Vertigo says, "Well my night of meeting a new person was called off absolutely last second"
<OOC> Vertigo says, "And I'm glad because I dreaded it anyway."
You paged Linnete with ‘Bieta icly knows a little about the Mage world. So, some of the wilder outlandish stuff is not everyday for her. Binge watching Criminal Minds would probably be something more familiar to her experience as a character. She gets easily confused by mamy mages when they go off on some tangent discussing wild things which go way over her head because she does not share a common frame of reference, not because she is oblivious or ignorant.’

<OOC> Bieta says, "I use to have alts when I played back in the day. I am only playing one character for now."
<OOC> Vertigo says, "I made alts because it was hard to find RP. But I stopped doing that. now I only make an alt if I have an actual reason."
<OOC> Bieta says, "I think that is how most alts happen."
