  22.  
  23. Cyprien:
  24. Hot dang, it's Liu Kang
  25. Renee: (( yeah see THAT we never discussed. ))
  26. Renee: (( Belle basically said "spend the night, or I will kill you" ))
  27. Renee: (( and I had intended to fuck off and go visit Seb bc screw this entire situation ))
  28. Cyprien: (( I wanted to ask Belle about some stuff ))
  29. Renee: (( not really looking to start with party split though? ))
  30. Cyprien: (( Maybe party split is the only way we can survive :V ))
  31. Thrice:
  32. LAST TIME ON HIATUS X HIATUS: The gang had recently escaped from prison, with the help of none other than Black Belle and her posse of ne'er-do-wells! Except Shades, he's not important enough to be here and more importantly I can only act as so many characters at once. SO YEAH - Belle said she'd be VERY UPSET if anyone was gone, because that'd just be rude, she invited you in. And she has things here you shouldn't see. Anyway, Morgan went to party downstairs in the gangstress' casino with Clover and Bangs, potentially preparing for some Lario Kart afterward, Renee was planning to sneak out, and Cy's soul left his body midway through the conversation
  33. Morgan: (( triple party split ))
  34. Morgan: (( we will be here all night :^ ) ))
  35. Renee: (( oh right skunkgirl had a name ))
  36. Renee: (( also, unrelated but ))
  37. Renee: (( we were given 2 experience. At some point. ))
  38. Renee: (( remember that the one time rolls come up tonight. ))
  39. Morgan: (( clover le pew ))
  40.  
  41. Renee:
  42. Renee hangs up, not exactly reassured, but in slightly less of a panic, having confirmed that Catherim wasn't quite dead. She sits down on the bed and buries her face in her hands.
  43.  
  44. White Belle:
  45. So were you gonna compliment my hips or what kid
  46.  
  47. Renee:
  48. "Agh... what am I supposed to do? They're going to kill me if I ever get caught again...!"
  49. Thrice:
  50. Who is she talking to
  51. Cyprien: (( Sorry, I'm looking for a line to reference ))
  52. Renee: (( monologuing ))
  53. Renee: (( just filling air atm ))
  54.  
  55. Morgan:
  56. "Just, uh, don't get caught. Or even try anything at all," Morgan takes a sip in between his words. "... Yeah."
  57.  
  58. Renee:
  59. "We just... we need to get out of here. This whole place, what else are we going to do?" She throws open Twatter, starts scrolling through coverage of the event
  60.  
  61. Morgan:
  62. "Dang, my team stole a priceless artifact and violently blew up a police station... I should step up my game."
  63.  
  64. Cyprien:
  65. "I...erm, hrm..." Cy fidgets about in place for a moment, he seems a little lost for words after the whole situation has sunk in. "Ah...Miss Belle...I did actually have a few questions..."
  66.  
  67. Renee:
  68. "The option of stealing it again is back on the table, you might have a shot..."
  69.  
  70. Renee:
  71. "I just wonder what Belle's angle is here. I don't really... want to trust her, but at the same time she did save our asses."
  72. Cyprien: (( I owe her a lobster. ))
  73.  
  74. White Belle:
  75. Belle glances up from her glass, "Oh? And what would those be? There is a price to information, of course. Quite the debt you build... But I believe we could negotiate..."
  76. Renee: (( a roooock lobster ))
  77.  
  78. Renee:
  79. "God, 1200 people by early estimates..."
  80.  
  81. Renee:
  82. "Kind of telling that they don't have exact numbers, huh?"
  83.  
  84. Cyprien:
  85. "Hngh.." Cy flinches at the thought of an even greater debt to the woman, but ultimately he lets out a sigh. "When you had stabbed me...er, to save me, rather...I asked what you had done and you replied with whether or not you were mistaken.." He coughs to clear his throat, "Were you expecting a result from that? Or were you expecting me to already know? Because some weird stuff happened when I was fighting the deputy and I'm not sure if I know how to explain it..."
  86.  
  87. Xiri:
  88. "Who is left to perform the body count?"
  89. Morgan: (( wait u killed 1200 ppl? lol ))
  90. Thrice:
  91. No but he probably caused a shit ton of casualties
  92. Renee: (( well Cath survived and she was at point blank ))
  93. Thrice:
  94. and shut down power across like, a few blocks
  95. Renee: (( but yeah I figured a thousand or so injured is a reasonable number ))
  96. Thrice:
  97. due to the surge
  98.  
  99. Morgan:
  100. "Hmm, I'd rather not think about it."
  101.  
  102. Renee:
  103. "...good question. Xiri, how many police stations are even in this city?"
  104.  
  105. Renee:
  106. "If they're preoccupied with cleanup or just... well, you know, then maybe things won't be too bad for a while..."
  107.  
  108. White Belle:
  109. "Ah. Nothing to worry yourself over. Merely, I was surprised at your confusion. I had thought you able to recognize a Soul Album."
  110.  
  111. Morgan:
  112. is this two diff convos
  113.  
  114. Xiri:
  115. "There is currently one remaining, out of three."
  116.  
  117. Morgan:
  118. do we overhear
  119.  
  120. Xiri:
  121. yea
  122.  
  123. Xiri:
  124. and yea you can overhere
  125.  
  126. Xiri:
  127. hear
  128.  
  129. Xiri:
  130. you can also overhere
  131.  
  132. Renee:
  133. "How'd Mario Kart go, anyway? You take it easy on those girls?"
  134. Morgan: (( oh that was in the past lol ))
  135. Morgan: (( i thought this was before ))
  136. Renee: (( in which Thrice remembers he put a pizza into the oven an hour ago ))
  137. Morgan: (( we split up ))
  138. Cyprien: (( You know, have I actually seen Renee use her ability? ))
  139. Morgan: (( "Amaaaaziiiiiing." ))
  140.  
  141. Morgan:
  142. oops
  143. Renee: (( yeah a few times ))
  144.  
  145. Morgan:
  146. "Amaaaziiiing."
  147. Cyprien: (( Well, before the letter, I mean. ))
  148. Renee: (( Used it a bunch on the vending machines ))
  149. Renee: (( without realizing what I was doing IC ))
  150. Xiri: (( did you recognize it as a Soul Album ))
  151. Xiri: (( or just Renee Being Weird ))
  152. Renee: (( I think Seb even mentioned the soul album thing in front of you ))
  153. Xiri: (( he might've ))
  154. Cyprien: (( I thought I was in a different room for the vending machines. Weren't you out with Sebastian? ))
  155. Renee: (( before we went to the back alley ))
  156. Renee: (( nah you held the bag while I grabbed em ))
  157. Xiri: (( IDK tho he may have just like, referenced a power or something ))
  158. Xiri: (( there were multiple vending machine incidents ))
  159. Cyprien: (( I feel like I would've made a big deal out of it had I seen it :V ))
  160.  
  161. Xiri:
  162. "Out of the three, one has been partially destroyed and its networking systems fried - by you. The other burned down, not too long after."
  163. Renee: (( I was downplaying it as a weirdness of the vending machines themselves IC ))
  164.  
  165. Renee:
  166. "Someone else went after a police station tonight?"
  167.  
  168. Xiri:
  169. "No. I believe they left the toaster on.":
  170.  
  171. Morgan:
  172. "Is Siri being sarcastic?"
  173.  
  174. Renee:
  175. "Honestly with these cops it's hard to tell."
  176.  
  177. Morgan:
  178. "Speaking of Mario Kart, where did Clover even go?"
  179.  
  180. Xiri:
  181. @_@
  182.  
  183. Cyprien:
  184. "A Soul Album..I feel like I've heard that somewhere.." He rubs the back of his neck, "Ahaha...I probably wasn't paying attention at the time...I guess that's what that power...or whatever it was..is called though.."
  185. Renee: (( I feel like I can drag this conversation back towards Belle with that bit ))
  186.  
  187. Renee:
  188. "She's not hiding under the bed, if that's what you're asking."
  189.  
  190. Renee:
  191. "I thought she was with you last."
  192.  
  193. Clover:
  194. Clover comes back up from the casino/arcade with a cherry martini and a stuffed parrot, "Yo, they have the craziest prizes down there!"
  195.  
  196. Renee:
  197. "Gotta go check on a hunch."
  198.  
  199. Morgan:
  200. "Me too but I, uh, don't really know what's happening!" Morgan sips on more fancy wine.
  201.  
  202. Morgan:
  203. "There you are! Can I try that?"
  204.  
  205. Renee:
  206. "Hey!" Renee raps her knuckles on the doorframe of Belle's... office? Living room? Entertainment center? "Everyone decent in here?"
  207.  
  208. White Belle:
  209. "Power, you say...? Were my suspicions correct, then? I know your associate holds the power. It would be strange if only one of you did."
  210.  
  211. Clover:
  212. "Go ahead! It's freakin' great!"
  213.  
  214. Renee:
  215. "I know ONE dress got torn off already..."
  216.  
  217. White Belle:
  218. "We'll ask the source, then. You may enter."
  219. Cyprien: (( And then she SHOOTS YOU ON THE SPOT. ))
  220.  
  221. Renee:
  222. oh no my face
  223.  
  224. Renee:
  225. "Aw, that easy? Fine, fine..."
  226.  
  227. Renee:
  228. Renee nods to Pomp/Pomp's ghost I don't think the presence of his token actually indicates him being here it's all kind of TotM rn
  229.  
  230. Morgan:
  231. Morgan takes some of Clover's drink before proclaiming, "LET'S STEAL A CRYSTAL!"
  232.  
  233. Renee:
  234. "So, quick question - are we tied right now?"
  235.  
  236. Renee:
  237. @Belle
  238.  
  239. Clover:
  240. "Hell yeah! Wait, what kinda crystal?"
  241.  
  242. White Belle:
  243. only if u wanna be, girl
  244.  
  245. Renee:
  246. later
  247.  
  248. Morgan:
  249. "I don't know! Tell us more about the crystal, Belle!"
  250.  
  251. White Belle:
  252. She raises an eyebrow, smirking, "I'm sure it could be arranged. If you wish to avoid it, however, it would be best to stay in your place."
  253.  
  254. Renee:
  255. "I was talking to Xi," Renee holds up and wiggles her phone, "and she was saying that another police station got hit shortly after we were done on our end. Was that one of yours?"
  256.  
  257. Morgan:
  258. "Are you in, Renee?!" Morgan pauses a second to stare at a desk. "Of course you are! You blew up a station!"
  259. Cyprien: (( I saw that. ))
  260.  
  261. Bangs:
  262. "Holy shit, it's great to have more fun people around here! You know how boring it gets with Pomp and Shades? They never do anything crazy like this!"
  263.  
  264. Renee:
  265. "I'll get back to you, put me down as a 'probably'."
  266.  
  267. White Belle:
  268. The gangstress blinks, "Another? No, that would not have been our doing. We were rescuing you. Shades alone could not muster something of that caliber."
  269.  
  270. White Belle:
  271. *melvin, I forgot he actually had a name
  272.  
  273. Morgan:
  274. "AWESOME, FUN!" Morgan downs the remaining wine in his glass and sits against Belle's desk.
  275.  
  276. Morgan:
  277. "Oof."
  278.  
  279. Cyprien:
  280. "So much for my questions..." he sighs.
  281.  
  282. Pomp:
  283. "Hey! Get off the boss' desk! That thing's worth more than you'll make in your whole damn life!"
  284.  
  285. Renee:
  286. "Well, it was arson - I'd have believed it either way. Xiri blamed a toaster, but I'd like to give them more credit than that."
  287.  
  288. Pomp:
  289. morgan: sir I tihnk you are mistake, i am an ~Internet Personality~, the world is my oyster and also I'm probably racist or cheating on my wife
  290.  
  291. Cyprien:
  292. "Ah, Morgan, be a friend and let me borrow your phone, okay?"
  293.  
  294. Morgan:
  295. "I bet you can't even explain why!" Morgan falls over by Clover.
  296.  
  297. Renee:
  298. "Ah, sorry, did I interrupt something after all- jesus, Morgan, how many glasses have you had?"
  299.  
  300. Morgan:
  301. "None, I have 20/20 vision!"
  302.  
  303. Morgan:
  304. "So liiike, what time is it?"
  305.  
  306. Clover:
  307. She catches your ass, "Whooaa! Is this off one martini?? Hahaha, come on, ya can't be that big of a bitch!"
  308.  
  309. Morgan:
  310. "This isn't just one! I had waaaay more while I was gambling and where's my money?"
  311.  
  312. Renee:
  313. "Yeah Cy I think you aughtta take his phone just for his safety."
  314.  
  315. White Belle:
  316. morgan starts sexting Inc.blot
  317.  
  318. Morgan:
  319. "iT's MINE!"
  320.  
  321. Renee:
  322. "None of us want to end up with unwanted firecrotch."
  323.  
  324. White Belle:
  325. Belle pours herself another glass, waving away Pomp's concern, "No issue. If he causes any damage, that will only add to their debt. Which is become more useful by the moment."
  326.  
  327. Pomp:
  328. Pomp stabs a finger toward Renee, "Watch the crude language, fuckass!"
  329.  
  330. Morgan:
  331. "Hey man, she's blown up a police station."
  332.  
  333. Cyprien:
  334. "I-..I was more just asking to borrow the phone..."
  335.  
  336. Morgan:
  337. "Oh, yeah, sure buddy."
  338.  
  339. White Belle:
  340. "Oh, I dearly hope you aren't summoning a rescue party...? Would be a shame, to cause any more harm to others tonight, don't you think?"
  341.  
  342. Renee:
  343. Renee pushes his finger down. "The posturing is impressive, really. Maybe move onto the physical threats quicker next time though?"
  344.  
  345. Renee:
  346. "I already heard her say we're useful."
  347.  
  348. Cyprien:
  349. "Ah, depends on what you mean by that.." He briefly stops sending his message to acknowledge Belle, "Just letting a friend know I'm still in the land of the living, I have no intention of starting any trouble...and hopefully I won't be involving anyone else..."
  350.  
  351. Pomp:
  352. "It's after we're done with ya that ya should be worried about. Piss us off now and once we're through with ya we'll toss into the ocean like a used car battery."
  353.  
  354. Morgan:
  355. "I don't think that's where you put car batteries."
  356.  
  357. Renee:
  358. She shakes his finger. "Pleasure doing business with you too." Turning to Belle, she asks, "So - besides the dress. Which, of course, top priority right there. What is it you wanted us for, exactly?"
  359.  
  360. Bangs:
  361. "Yeah. there's way more fun stuff ya can do with 'em!"
  362.  
  363. Renee:
  364. "I'm pretty eager to find a way to get out of this city and back home, myself... there's only so much of this I'm looking to put up with."
  365.  
  366. Morgan:
  367. "Are we stealing a dress or a crystal?"
  368.  
  369. Cyprien:
  370. Cyprien shrugs it off and takes Morgan's phone to fire off a text to Arkain, "Hey, using my teammate's phone. I'm (somehow) alive and currently not in jail @_@. Hope you ladies are okay!"
  371.  
  372. Morgan:
  373. "This is a nice carpet."
  374.  
  375. Morgan:
  376. @_@
  377.  
  378. Arkain:
  379. She shoots back, "Yeah, Karet and Luna are keeping up! 🐯 I'm still kinda shot though tbh Can't get back into my groove since that fight! think I mighta overexerted myself maybe
  380. Cyprien: (( How long have we been in the game btw? ))
  381. Cyprien: (( Like three days now? rofl ))
  382. Renee: (( a week maybe? ))
  383. Cyprien: (( Ten minutes. ))
  384. Renee: (( I lost track a while ago ))
  385.  
  386. Arkain:
  387. I think it's been 4 or 54
  388.  
  389. Arkain:
  390. 4 or 5*
  391.  
  392. Arkain:
  393. 4 if it's still the same night, 5 once morning rolls around, I think
  394.  
  395. Cyprien:
  396. "I'm beat to hell myself. Feel like I haven't gotten a good night's rest in weeks and it...hasn't even been one, I don't think. I've lost track of time in here tbh. Definitely some weird stuff going on though, not sure how to explain. I'll have to fill you in next time I see you."
  397.  
  398. Arkain:
  399. "Yeah, you will! Hopefully I'll feel better by then. I'm falling all over myself rn! and my head's all woozy, and i can't hear a thing!
  400. Cyprien: (( Y-..you can't hear a thing anyway though... ))
  401.  
  402. Arkain:
  403. she is aware
  404. Renee: (( let the deaf girl have her fun ))
  405.  
  406. White Belle:
  407. "As long as you repay your debt, I do not mind the specifics. I will find uses for you..."
  408.  
  409. Renee:
  410. "Oh THAT'S not ominous."
  411.  
  412. White Belle:
  413. "Well, then, how about you all get some much needed respite? Doubtless, you're exhausted after the day's events. Unless there are any more questions...?"
  414.  
  415. Cyprien:
  416. "Just make sure you take it easy! Anyway, I best give my teammate his phone back, he's drunk af but I think he's trying to get with this girl we broke out of prison? Idk, like I said, lot to catch you up on when I see you LOL."
  417.  
  418. Arkain:
  419. well at least he's not a COWARD
  420.  
  421. Renee:
  422. "What'd you need us to spend the night for then? I have a sneaking feeling that someone's going to try and shake things up while we're away from the base..."
  423.  
  424. Morgan:
  425. "Yes, respite!"
  426.  
  427. Morgan:
  428. "... What's happening? Where's my phone?"
  429. Cyprien: (( Wow, okay. I'm just out of jail. Gimme a second to get back on my feet and I'll get witchu Arkain :V ))
  430.  
  431. White Belle:
  432. "It is but a matter of courtesy and etiquette. It would be rude of me to not offer you the night..."
  433.  
  434. Morgan:
  435. "I like Belle, can we stay with her?" Morgan, mildly less drunk, attempts to stand back up.
  436.  
  437. Renee:
  438. "We didn't go sewer crawling for nothing!"
  439.  
  440. Bangs:
  441. Bangs lifts you up, "Can ya stand??"
  442.  
  443. Morgan:
  444. Morgan jumps back up proudly, hands on his hips. "Yeah!"
  445.  
  446. White Belle:
  447. "Oh? Do you wish to deny etiquette?"
  448.  
  449. Pomp:
  450. "And a hot shower? I dunno what the hell you've done with the Pavillion, but there ain't shit hooked up there. You really wanna go back?"
  451.  
  452. Pomp:
  453. brb
  454.  
  455. Cyprien:
  456. Cy deletes the message history and slips Morgan back his phone, "I'm not sure if it would be wise to head out tonight, Renee..I know you're..skeptical, but we're all exhausted..last thing we need to do is trek back in the middle of the night, running the risk of running into the cops..."
  457.  
  458. Renee:
  459. "There's more than you think! Rrgh..." Renee twists her hat. "All I'm saying is that if Nerv has the place under an iron fist by the time I get back there, I'm holding you responsible."
  460.  
  461. Morgan:
  462. "Yeah, and besides, there are drinks!"
  463.  
  464. Renee:
  465. "It'd either be her or the quiet guy who hooked up the electricity..."
  466. Butts is disconnected.
  467.  
  468. Renee:
  469. "...well, hopefully one night isn't enough for them to go full Lord of the Flies."
  470. Butts has connected.
  471.  
  472. Renee:
  473. "...well, hopefully one night isn't enough for them to go full Lord of the Flies."
  474.  
  475. Pomp:
  476. tbf
  477.  
  478. Pomp:
  479. they're on the same team
  480. Renee: (( yeah that makes em more likely to take over ))
  481.  
  482. Pomp:
  483. nerv yells orders at people, Zero does useful things.
  484.  
  485. Cyprien:
  486. "I'm sure it'll be fine..right now we need to focus on keeping a low profile and...well, not dying."
  487. Renee: (( not like I expect the Belles to sympathize ))
  488. Renee: (( "oh no someone stole your base whatever will u do" ))
  489.  
  490. Morgan:
  491. "So... no more stealing crystals?"
  492.  
  493. Morgan:
  494. "In comparison to what we've been doing, low profile issssss literally anything else."
  495.  
  496. Renee:
  497. "We're still gonna get it."
  498.  
  499. Renee:
  500. "I have a contact."
  501.  
  502. Cyprien:
  503. "Yeah..no kidding..not like I can blame anyone but myself but..."
  504.  
  505. Cyprien:
  506. "Well, I could blame whoever put us into this game..."
  507.  
  508. Renee:
  509. "Please do."
  510. Butts is disconnected.
  511.  
  512. White Belle:
  513. "Perhaps. Well, then, enjoy your rest."
  514. Butts has connected.
  515.  
  516. Renee:
  517. I guess we're being polite under protest
  518.  
  519. Renee:
  520. sleep time
  521.  
  522. Renee:
  523. so how dead are we
  524.  
  525. Renee:
  526. my guess: nanomachines in the wine
  527. Cyprien: (( She's not gonna kill us, she can milk us for profit :V ))
  528.  
  529. White Belle:
  530. and other things
  531.  
  532. Renee:
  533. the nanomachines turn us into money
  534.  
  535. Morgan:
  536. belle is a capitalist pig
  537.  
  538. Morgan:
  539. we're slaves to her!!!
  540. Cyprien: (( Say that to her face, it can only end well :V ))
  541.  
  542. Morgan:
  543. i cant im drunk and indifferent
  544. Cyprien: (( Then make a move on Pomp. ))
  545. Morgan: (( did we.. conclude? ))
  546. Morgan: (( sry idk whats happening with my isp ))
  547. Renee: (( idk we didn't really do anything ))
  548.  
  549. White Belle:
  550. We can go on
  551.  
  552. White Belle:
  553. there is more to this session yet
  554.  
  555. White Belle:
  556. tbh I wasn't even factoring in uh, any of this when planning for the session lol
  557. Renee: (( it's next day I assumed there was a reason we had to stay here ))
  558. Cyprien: (( Yeah next day woo. ))
  559.  
  560. White Belle:
  561. With the luxuries of a ludicrously comfortable bed and lavish facilities, you recover 75% of your HP and Energy overnight
  562.  
  563. Renee:
  564. but it's not home
  565.  
  566. Morgan:
  567. a home is not a home without yoooou
  568. Morgan: (( i uh might have to go soonish ))
  569.  
  570. White Belle:
  571. That's fine, we can finish the session off soon
  572.  
  573. Morgan:
  574. sik
  575. Cyprien: (( Full health for the first time in years, wtf ))
  576. Thrice:
  577. don't get used to it
  578. Thrice:
  579. The next morning, you wake feeling refreshed and, surprisingly, rather alive and un-organ-harvested. Downstairs, the usual suspects linger. Pomp, at Belle's request, has seemingly dragged Clover and Bangs, still in their PJs, out of bed, so that the delinquent girl can fill out some paperwork or something
  580. Cyprien: (( The important question is how many days until Valentine's ))
  581.  
  582. Renee:
  583. tomorrow
  584.  
  585. Cyprien:
  586. hosnap
  587. Thrice:
  588. Like 3
  589. Thrice:
  590. or 4
  591.  
  592. Renee:
  593. it was 3 or 4 3 or 4 days ago
  594.  
  595. Pomp:
  596. I don't...THINK it was? I think it's like...Thursday in game, and valentine's day is sunady?
  597.  
  598. Pomp:
  599. IDK
  600. Cyprien: (( We slept straight through until Valentine's Day ))
  601.  
  602. Pomp:
  603. Pomp nods to you assles, "Finally up? You're lucky the boss didn't have me drag your asses outta bed, too."
  604.  
  605. Clover:
  606. "So I just, like...sign here, and we're gucci?"
  607.  
  608. Morgan:
  609. "My... head hurts..."
  610.  
  611. White Belle:
  612. "De la Renta, if I can help it. But close."
  613.  
  614. Renee:
  615. "Just your head?"
  616.  
  617. Cyprien:
  618. "Probably because you had the world's quickest binge drink last night..."
  619.  
  620. Morgan:
  621. "Sorry, I was only an accomplice to a little girl blowing up a police station."
  622.  
  623. Renee:
  624. "Call me a little girl again and I'll find something else to blow up."
  625. Thrice:
  626. Amidst your banter, and Clover's scrawling, a knock echoes from the door
  627.  
  628. Morgan:
  629. "Oh please no."
  630.  
  631. Pomp:
  632. "Took that bastard long enough."
  633.  
  634. Cyprien:
  635. Cy shrinks back so as not to get in the middle of this, "Bluhhh..."
  636. Morgan: (( its jetlag and hes gonna kick ur butt! ))
  637.  
  638. Pomp:
  639. "Gonna give 'im a piece of my mind."
  640. Renee: (( pproobably just Shades? ))
  641.  
  642. Bangs:
  643. "Aw, I'm sure he had a rough night!"
  644. Cyprien: (( It's half of Shades' dead body in Jetlag's hands. ))
  645. Thrice:
  646. It is just Shades, actually.
  647.  
  648. Shades:
  649. There's a second knock, a loud CRUNCH, and then the CRASH of the door smashing against the far wall, taking part of the entranceway with it! And, along with it, Shades' crumpled-ass form. He squeaks out a pained groan before losing consciousness, "I'm sorry...Boss..."
  650. Renee: (( only his shades ))
  651. Renee: (( the rest of him is invisible ))
  652.  
  653. Morgan:
  654. "Oof."
  655. Cyprien: (( ohfuckiwasjoking ))
  656. Morgan: (( u did this ))
  657.  
  658. Cyprien:
  659. "...ohhhhhhh....boy....."
  660.  
  661. White Belle:
  662. Belle glances at Cy suspiciously, then turns her attention to the foyer, "State your business!"
  663. Cyprien: (( Why would you glance suspiciously at me for? : ))
  664. Cyprien: (( :( ))
  665. Thrice:
  666. rescue party.
  667. Renee: (( bc you contacted someone I guess? ))
  668. Cyprien: (( I wouldn't call this fucker here, he's gonna kill my ass. ))
  669. Thrice:
  670. she will not be suspicious for long.
  671. Thrice:
  672. She doesn't know who it is yet, the wall is in the way
  673.  
  674. Renee:
  675. Renee starts looking for a fucking exit strategy.
  676.  
  677. Cyprien:
  678. "Nobody I want to see right now is capable of that....."
  679.  
  680. Red-Haired Man:
  681. And to be fair, neither do you. A red-haired man kicks the rubble aside as he marches on in from the foyer, "Oh, I got way too much fuckin' business to state right now, lady."
  682. Renee: (( He totally blew up our base. ))
  683.  
  684. Cyprien:
  685. "Oh, I...have no idea who that is."
  686. Renee: (( I should drop Pomp on him. ))
  687.  
  688. Red-Haired Man:
  689. "Aw, forget me already? Well, I'll just have to beat it back into you. That'll jog your memory. After I'm done with her."
  690.  
  691. Pomp:
  692. Oh, Pomp ain't having this shit right now
  693.  
  694. Morgan:
  695. eyes emoji
  696. Cyprien: (( Is this SSGSS Jetlag? ))
  697.  
  698. Renee:
  699. christ tho
  700.  
  701. Renee:
  702. what did SHADES do to piss him off so bad
  703.  
  704. Pomp:
  705. know where you were
  706.  
  707. Renee:
  708. yep I should've eloped with Seb
  709. Cyprien: (( No really, I can't tell from the token, is that Jet gone wild? Because I'd redact that last line if so :V ))
  710.  
  711. Pomp:
  712. "Shades! Who the hell do you think you are, you son of a bitch! Only his friends can beat the shit out of him like that!" He CHARGES the man like a raging bull, but the guy sidesteps, grabs Pomp's arm, and BREAKS it with a chop before tossing the big lug over to the rapidly-growing pile of Incompetent Henchmen
  713.  
  714. Pomp:
  715. it's Jet, with his hair dyed back to red
  716.  
  717. Pomp:
  718. Cy recognizes him, the others don't
  719.  
  720. Pomp:
  721. They didn't get close enough
  722.  
  723. Pomp:
  724. Cy got pretty close.
  725. Cyprien: (( Okay, then I redact that line. ))
  726.  
  727. Morgan:
  728. its ronin jetlag
  729.  
  730. Renee:
  731. How far do you think I would get if I just, turned, and walked away?
  732.  
  733. Red-Haired Man:
  734. He starts walking toward Renee, adjusting his gloves, "You know, you really don't appreciate a good challenge 'til you can't get one without breaking the laws you're supposed to uphold."
  735. Renee: (( I need to use the bathroom. ))
  736. Renee: (( forever. ))
  737.  
  738. Cyprien:
  739. "Look..." he takes a step in front of Renee, getting a better view of the REALL FUCKING PISSED OFF deputy, "We never intended for any of that to go that way...ah...I know that doesn't matter right now..." He wavers under his own lack of an excuse; he knows nothing he can say can make this situation...not the worst situation possible...
  740.  
  741. Red-Haired Man:
  742. "But wouldn't you know? Just so happens, I'm the acting chief of police right now. So I guess that means I am the law. Always hated when pigs said that, but damn does it feel good now."
  743.  
  744. Morgan:
  745. "Cy...?"
  746.  
  747. Renee:
  748. "I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here, I shouldn't be here...!"
  749.  
  750. Red-Haired Man:
  751. He steps up to Cy, lifting a hand, "Outta the way, kid. Got issues with this bitch first. I'll play with you later."
  752. Cyprien: (( Look, we all got issues with this bitch. ))
  753.  
  754. Renee:
  755. he means Clover right of course he does he just wants to compliment her on her shirt
  756. Morgan: (( do i jump in to help my friend ))
  757. Renee: (( no ))
  758. Renee: (( Clover is fine ))
  759.  
  760. White Belle:
  761. Belle pulls open a drawer, drawing a GUN'S and aiming it at the man, "Cease this, you crazed lunatic! You know not whose property you defile!"
  762.  
  763. Morgan:
  764. isnt she a lil young to talk like this
  765. Renee: (( she's a lady ))
  766.  
  767. Cyprien:
  768. "I...can't in good conscience let you do what you're going to do...these are my friends...yeah, we messed up. We messed up big time and we did things we're not proud of...things we regret..." He sighs heavily, a sigh of "oh goddammit I'm gonna get my ass beat again". "I know it doesn't matter...it doesn't matter for shit what our intentions we- oh great a gun now we're escalating...!"
  769.  
  770. Morgan:
  771. "I, uh, am gonna move a little."
  772. Cyprien: (( YOU COULD LIKE BACK UP OR SOMETHING RENEE PLZ ;_; ))
  773. Renee: (( it's okay I'll just die what else am I going to do really ))
  774. Cyprien: (( I'm trying to help diffuse the situation ))
  775. Cyprien: (( And he's gonna literally punch my guts out ))
  776.  
  777. Renee:
  778. Renee raises her hands in surrender.
  779.  
  780. Renee:
  781. Trembling, sniffing, maybe starting to cry a little
  782.  
  783. Renee:
  784. death has come
  785.  
  786. Renee:
  787. it came damn fast
  788.  
  789. Red-Haired Man:
  790. "A GUN?! Oh no!" He throws his hands up in mock surrender, then whips them back down and grabs Cy's arm, preparing to toss him outta the way, "I know exactly who you are, ya kid-sized dowager. How the hell do you think I found you?" He shakes his hand, then notices Renee, "Ahahahaha! Surrender? Fuckin' for real? You put Cath in the ICU, and you think wavin' a white flag's gonna cut it?"
  791. Cyprien: (( I've lived a good life. ))
  792. Cyprien: (( Oh wait, this week has been horrendous. ))
  793.  
  794. Bangs:
  795. "Uhhh....." Bangs is not lookin' to join the pile of Incompetent Henchmen, even though she knows she is qualified for it
  796. Cyprien: (( OH NO. I'M GOING IN THE PILE D: ))
  797.  
  798. Morgan:
  799. Morgan nervously looks at Belle, then back at the Jet/Cy.
  800.  
  801. Morgan:
  802. eep
  803. Cyprien: (( But I'm pretty competent D: ))
  804. Renee: (( I'm ordering pizza does anyone want anything ))
  805.  
  806. Red-Haired Man:
  807. Nah you're okay, you're not going in the pile
  808. Morgan: (( yeah hawaiian ))
  809. Cyprien: (( Oh cool. ))
  810.  
  811. Red-Haired Man:
  812. jet fuckin' whips you onto the couch hard enough to split the leather, unless your noodly boi arms can beat him in a Strong check
  813. Cyprien: (( Like I won't just dump two EXP into strong to not die at this ))
  814.  
  815. Red-Haired Man:
  816. which who knows maybe u been pumpin iron for the past straight month
  817. Cyprien: (( It's been a thousand months, default is two dice? ))
  818.  
  819. Red-Haired Man:
  820. or just jackin it ferociously enough
  821.  
  822. Red-Haired Man:
  823. yea
  824.  
  825. Morgan:
  826. is 1 xp 1 pt
  827.  
  828. Red-Haired Man:
  829. For now yes
  830.  
  831. Cyprien:
  832. (2, 3, 3, 5)
  833.  
  834. Red-Haired Man:
  835. (1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6)
  836. Cyprien: (( I somehow don't think I'l- ))
  837.  
  838. Red-Haired Man:
  839. holy shit you tied his ass
  840. Cyprien: (( It's the arm that got bit by his crazy dog. I just hold that shit up to deflect bullets. ))
  841.  
  842. Red-Haired Man:
  843. He tries to fling you away, but you just stumble around, tentatively standing your ground. Jet's a bit surprised by that, but not worried. "Huh. Did your Soul Album awaken something else, too?"
  844.  
  845. Red-Haired Man:
  846. "Well...If you don't wanna end up out the window instead of on the couch, back the fuck down, kid. You know exactly who you're dealing with here."
  847. Cyprien: (( Portal him out the window agi, you got this :V ))
  848.  
  849. Morgan:
  850. While Jet's preoccupied with Cy, Morgan tries to sucker punch him!
  851.  
  852. Red-Haired Man:
  853. Jet's gonna counter!
  854. Cyprien: (( Yeaaaaaaaah, this crazy boi ))
  855.  
  856. Renee:
  857. "T-there is, nothing I can say to make up for-"
  858.  
  859. Red-Haired Man:
  860. for once actually declaring it before the roll is made
  861.  
  862. Morgan:
  863. w0w
  864.  
  865. Morgan:
  866. im gonna di3
  867.  
  868. Morgan:
  869. do i just roll str
  870. Cyprien: (( Just roll like crazy my dude. ))
  871.  
  872. Red-Haired Man:
  873. Strength impacts the damage multiplier, not the attack roll
  874. Renee: (( and yeah I'll find an opportunity somewhere ))
  875.  
  876. Red-Haired Man:
  877. as does fuckin
  878.  
  879. Red-Haired Man:
  880. attack

  882. Red-Haired Man:

  884.  
  885. Morgan:
  886. wait which do i roll then
  887. Renee: (( He prolly knows about the portals, I showed them off to one of the cops ))
  888.  
  889. Red-Haired Man:
  890. Combat Expert and Agile increase the attack roll itself
  891. Renee: (( and he can just, like, catch himself? From falling through the hole? ))
  892.  
  893. Morgan:
  894. ah
  895.  
  896. Morgan:
  897. gonna use uhh endurance
  898. Cyprien: (( Then you close the portal and it rips him in half. ))
  899. Renee: (( best opportunity is redirecting a Belle bullet ))
  900. Cyprien: (( So we are gonna kill Jetlag ))
  901. Cyprien: (( HOW MUCH ENDURANCE DID YOU USE BOY? :O ))
  902. Renee: (( idk I'm just frozen right now I finally said words ))
  903.  
  904. Morgan:
  905. wait did we full restore i cant remember
  906.  
  907. Red-Haired Man:
  908. you heald 3/4ths of your HP and Energy
  909. Renee: (( do you remember anything ))
  910. Cyprien: (( 75% of your max. It just so happened I was close enough ))
  911. Morgan: (( no im ded inside ))
  912. Renee: (( boutta match the outside ))
  913. Morgan: (( oh i think i had 5 end before ))
  914.  
  915. Morgan:
  916. im using uh a lot of endurance
  917.  
  918. Morgan:
  919. (1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 4, 6, 6)
  920.  
  921. Red-Haired Man:
  922. So just adding Accurate, basically - 5 per +1 die
  923. Unresolved value "dice".
  924. Red-Haired Man uses 15 Endurance!
  925.  
  926. Red-Haired Man:
  927. (1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5)
  928.  
  929. Renee:
  930. damn he losed
  931.  
  932. Red-Haired Man:
  933. man this guy sucks at rolling
  934.  
  935. Morgan:
  936. muahahah
  937.  
  938. Morgan:

  940. Cyprien: (( And then he uses action dice ))
  941.  
  942. Morgan:
  943. do i roll for dmg
  944.  
  945. Renee:
  946. you already did
  947.  
  948. Morgan:
  949. no i thought i rolled for attack
  950.  
  951. Renee:
  952. yeah
  953.  
  954. Morgan:
  955. is that the same?
  956.  
  957. Red-Haired Man:
  958. You did - the damage is extrapolated from the attack roll
  959.  
  960. Morgan:
  961. ohh
  962.  
  963. Morgan:
  964. im so confused
  965.  
  966. Red-Haired Man:
  967. It's your roll - the defense roll...which in the case of the failed counter, is 0
  968.  
  969. Red-Haired Man:
  970. then X the damage multiplier
  971.  
  972. Red-Haired Man:
  973. which since you have FIVE STRONG now, is 6
  974.  
  975. Renee:
  976. wh
  977.  
  978. Renee:
  979. when did
  980.  
  981. Morgan:
  982. B)

  984. Red-Haired Man:

  986.  
  987. Renee:
  988. when
  989. Cyprien: (( So like....what's the damage? :O.... ))
  990.  
  991. Renee:
  992. 72
  993. Red-Haired Man lost 72 Health!
  994.  
  995. Morgan:
  996. i punched out godzilla
  997. Cyprien: (( Huh. Neat. ))
  998.  
  999. Renee:
  1000. "I felt that..."
  1001.  
  1002. Red-Haired Man:
  1003. Jet takes the wham-bam-a-lam punch straight to the face, too preoccupied with Cy's struggling to counter! He reels backward, wiping the blood off his face. But he ain't scared. He's fuckin' pissed. Through his glove, the symbol on the back of his hand glows - an hourglass ⧖, just like before
  1004.  
  1005. Red-Haired Man:
  1006. But this time, instead of the X in the middle lighting up blue
  1007.  
  1008. Red-Haired Man:
  1009. The top line, bottom line, and the the forward slash light up red - a Z
  1010. Cyprien: (( And then Belle shoots him in the head and KO's him ))
  1011. Morgan: (( pls ))
  1012.  
  1013. Morgan:
  1014. "Hands off my team."

  1161. Red-Haired Man:
  1162. and one +2 that's an ability

  1164. Red-Haired Man:
  1165. there proooobably should not be two abilities that both add to dodge
  1166.  
  1167. Renee:

  1190.  
  1191. Red-Haired Man:
  1192. But, yes. Jet doesn't even bother trying to stop, and instead goes full power, crashing through the desk - and then into Belle, wrenching the gun out of her grasp and tossing her against the bookcases. "Keep dodging, bitch! I'll just hit someone else instead! You wanna live with that?"
  1193.  
  1194. White Belle:
  1195. (1, 3, 4, 6)
  1196.  
  1197. White Belle:

  1216. "You think you can run?! Please! I've got eyes all over the city!"
  1217. Morgan: (( oh my god you killed belle too ))
  1218.  
  1219. Red-Haired Man:
  1220. "Your friend was right! We all make mistakes! But clearly you ain't brave enough to face the consequences!"
  1221.  
  1222. Morgan:
  1223. "Oh my.."
  1224.  
  1225. Morgan:

  1231. Cyprien: (( Cool, where it be :V ))
  1232.  
  1233. Red-Haired Man:
  1234. Digging himself out of the rubble, he begins to walk back toward Renee. "Do I really gotta pull out the big guns here?"
  1235. Cyprien: (( I'm gonna shoot a cop, the great American pasttime. ))
  1236.  
  1237. Red-Haired Man:
  1238. In the splintered remains of Belle's very expensive desk
  1239. Cyprien: (( Oh. ))
  1240.  
  1241. Renee:
  1242. I don't have quips for this sitation but I do have a plan
  1243. Cyprien: (( Alright, I should probably help ))

  1245.  
  1246. Renee:
  1247. if it goes wrong
  1248. Cyprien: (( Are you planning on luring him into the elevator and dropping it ))
  1249. Renee: (( no I'm planning on bookending my character arc ))
  1250. Cyprien: (( You're gonna let him punch you to death? ))

  1258. The elevator comes, but Jet is quickly making his way toward you
  1259. Thrice:
  1260. And dialing something on a...Nokia phone?
  1261.  
  1262. Renee:
  1263. I'm going to use up all the endurance I have to make as big of a hole as possible on the floor in front and the ceiling above
  1264. Morgan: (( spooky ))
  1265.  
  1266. Renee:
  1267. just to make it as impassable as possible
  1268. Cyprien: (( Okay, well I'm gonna try and punch him. ))
  1269.  
  1270. Renee:
  1271. and then get in, obv, and ride to the top floor
  1272.  
  1273. Red-Haired Man:
  1274. "Try me."
  1275.  
  1276. Red-Haired Man:
  1277. "You'll regret it."
  1278.  
  1279. Cyprien:
  1280. Cy throws his head back and runs his hand through his hair as his super cool mask appears on his face in a flash of blue flame. He takes a step back and a couple of clones appear before Renee's location. "I'd recommend you not go down this path."
  1281. Tokens dropped onto map 'Tocsicity' by player Ci Tsukino (Player)
  1282. Tokens dropped onto map 'Tocsicity' by player Ci Tsukino (Player)
  1283.  
  1284. Morgan:

  1286.  
  1287. Renee:
  1288. you can punch people real hard
  1289.  
  1290. Renee:
  1291. like, real hard.
  1292. Cyprien: (( Yeah, I wish I could punch people that hard. ))
  1293.  
  1294. Red-Haired Man:
  1295. He finishes dialing on his phone, smirking, "Sorry, but, you're not winning this fight. People don't just get away with shit like that."
  1296.  
  1297. Morgan:
  1298. "Did you call the ghostbusters or what?"
  1299. Cyprien: (( Did I see him use the phone during the fight for his doggo? ))
  1300.  
  1301. Red-Haired Man:
  1302. Actually, no. He just sorta called for it then
  1303. Renee: (( his doggo's on speed dial ))
  1304.  
  1305. Red-Haired Man:
  1306. "Hey, you remember my dog, kid? You think that was my only pet?" A beam of light sears through the ceiling, expanding into the room. It begins to form a coherent shape, shifting from light to earth and sand - a roiling, great worm of brilliantly burning sand
  1307.  
  1308. Morgan:
  1309. woof woof
  1310. Cyprien: (( A giant question mark?! Fuck! ))
  1311.  
  1312. Morgan:
  1313. "Holy shit!"
  1314. Morgan: (( also this doesnt seem like itll end soon lol ))
  1315.  
  1316. Red-Haired Man:
  1317. "Well, I wouldn't call this one mine...but if anyone can control it, I can."
  1318. Renee: (( same ))
  1319.

  1328. Renee: (( if he doesn't I will ))
  1329.  
  1330. Red-Haired Man:
  1331. As about the time the GIANT FLAMING WORM OF WRITHING SAND shows up, a voice rings out from the phone
  1332.  
  1333. Red-Haired Man:
  1334. both phones
  1335.  
  1336. Red-Haired Man:
  1337. All three, actually - even Renee hears it
  1338.  
  1339. Red-Haired Man:
  1340. from her own Xiri
  1341. Morgan: (( owo plot twist ))
  1342.  
  1343. Nokia:
  1344. "WHOA WHOA WHOA, NO! NO WAY, J-MAN! You ain't authorized for that!"
  1345.  
  1346. Red-Haired Man:
  1347. The man glares at his phone in disgust, "Never call me that again. ...on second thought, never call me again, period." He hangs up. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the other phones - or his own, which just starts broadcasting again.
  1348.  
  1349. Morgan:
  1350. "What's happening?"
  1351.  
  1352. Cyprien:
  1353. "Beats me...? Sounds like he broke a rule or something...didn't know they were under them too...but I guess he was a former player after all..."
  1354.  
  1355. Nokia:
  1356. "You bet, he broke a rule. Look, I get it, you're angry, Jet! But this is way too dangerous! Look, just...can'tcha settle this some other way?"
  1357.  
  1358. Renee:
  1359. Renee just hucks her phone across the pit, she ain't listening to whatever horseshit Xiri has to say
  1360.  
  1361. Nokia:
  1362. It's not xiri's voice coming out of your phone
  1363.  
  1364. Renee:
  1365. yea but she's emotional
  1366.  
  1367. Nokia:
  1368. It's another, still familiar, one
  1369.  
  1370. Nokia:
  1371. The male voice from the beginning of the campaign
  1372.  
  1373. Nokia:
  1374. The one that introduced you to this world
  1375.  
  1376. Cyprien:
  1377. Cy snaps away his clones, "It's the voice from the beginning...and apparently he can hear me through the phones, tch..."
  1378.  
  1379. Nokia:
  1380. You're damn right I can
  1381.  
  1382. Morgan:
  1383. "Has he been listening this entire time?"
  1384.  
  1385. Cyprien:
  1386. "Probably, yeah."
  1387.  
  1388. Morgan:
  1389. "Sick."
  1390.  
  1391. Nokia:
  1392. "No, actually! I didn't know about this until this dingwad used the Bu--er, I mean, started throwing out Di--uh...summoned that monster.
  1393.  
  1394. Nokia:
  1395. "
  1396.  
  1397. Nokia:
  1398. "Look, I'm real sorry you got into this mess and all, but if you can just help me work with Jet here, I'm sure we can find another solution!"
  1399.  
  1400. Renee:
  1401. o I'm already pushing towards my solution and if Jet's stopped chasing me I've been on my way up
  1402.  
  1403. Cyprien:
  1404. Cy eyes up the giant monster that's been, up to this point, shockingly tame. "Perhaps it would be best..."
  1405.  
  1406. Red-Haired Man:
  1407. "Not in the fuckin' mood, Chase. Give it up."
  1408.  
  1409. Morgan:
  1410. "You can get us out of here... Chase?"
  1411. Cyprien: (( Chase chases and Jet lags. ))
  1412.  
  1413. Nokia:
  1414. "Ugh..you weren't supposed to hear that... But, maybe! Look, Jetlag, I'M the leader here! And we all agreed not to mess with things we don't understand! Besides, we NEED these guys, remember? They're, like, the best team!"
  1415.  
  1416. Cyprien:
  1417. "The best team held back by several days of legal ordeals, but yeah, we're a pretty great team!"
  1418.  
  1419. Red-Haired Man:
  1420. "...whatever. I'm sure somebody else'll fill the role. Y, L, K. They're all promising."
  1421.  
  1422. Nokia:
  1423. Or R?
  1424.  
  1425. Nokia:
  1426. "*"
  1427. Renee: (( I don't remember L/R I think one of them is Seb's ))
  1428. Cyprien: (( R are the rude boi team ))
  1429. Renee: (( fuck R ))
  1430.  
  1431. Cyprien:
  1432. "You said it yourself! You needed info on Team R!"
  1433.  
  1434. Nokia:
  1435. L is Seb's team
  1436.  
  1437. Red-Haired Man:
  1438. "...Yeah, I do. And I planned to get it. But guess what? Cause of your dumb asses, now I'm chief of police, and punching a hole through that girl's face is the last bit of freedom I'm gonna get before I'm bogged down in paperwork forever."
  1439.  
  1440. Renee:
  1441. that girl is fkn gone
  1442.  
  1443. Fire-Phazed Sandworm:
  1444. The sandworm is struggling in place, seemingly restrained by light
  1445.  
  1446. Fire-Phazed Sandworm:
  1447. little bits of information and distortion
  1448.  
  1449. Nokia:
  1450. "Look, we got the situation covered, just...you can't go doing stuff like this, man! She's gonna be fine!"
  1451.  
  1452. Cyprien:
  1453. "Look, I understand you're upset and her face is very punchable!" he sighs deeply, "I know it's absolutely no consolation to you whatsoever but she feels like complete trash for that entire situation happening!" He motions to the giant worm, "Now we're stuck in a world we never asked to be in with giant monsters like this and we have no idea how to get home. We're not trying to make enemies, we're just a bunch of dumb kids, and a twenty something, just like you were!"
  1454.  
  1455. Red-Haired Man:
  1456. "Yeah, I know that. Never said otherwise. Hell, I did worse shit than that myself. But there wasn't anyone to flatten my ass out for it back then."
  1457.  
  1458. Renee:
  1459. ok I'm jumping bye
  1460.  
  1461. Renee:
  1462. let Wrk sleep
  1463.  
  1464. Red-Haired Man:
  1465. "God knows I deserve it - and so does she. But fine...you want a way outta this? I'll throw a fuckin' bone."
  1466. Morgan: (( can i die now ))
  1467.  
  1468. Red-Haired Man:
  1469. "I'll give you a mission, so you can keep playing around. You weren't wrong - I need info on Team R. They've pulled too much shit. Bring them in, or beat it out of them. You complete that? You win the mission, fuckin' congrats. You lose? I'm stripping you of all your points - and then you get to see what happens to the losers."
  1470. Cyprien: (( I like how he was Red-Haired Man the entire session ))
  1471.  
  1472. Nokia:
  1473. so eh was
  1474.  
  1475. Nokia:
  1476. "Uhhhh....wait! Jet, we already got Fifi on that! You're really gonna put this on them??"
  1477.  
  1478. Red-Haired Man:
  1479. "She can just keep fuckin' around for a while then, god knows she's enjoying it. You want her to be happy, don'tcha, loverboy?" He shuts off his phone again for a moment, then turns to Cy, "What do you say? You accept? There's no backing out if you do. Don't, and.. Well, let's just say your friend and Cath might be housemates for a bit."
  1480.  
  1481. Morgan:
  1482. "I really don't like playing this game, Cy, but..."
  1483.  
  1484. Cyprien:
  1485. "We accept. I promised I'd help you guys get info on that Team R anyway."
  1486. Cyprien: (( And I assume we can wrap it up there. ))
  1487. Butts is disconnected.
  1488. Cyprien: (( Also I yell at Bangs to go make sure Belle is alright because I'm sorta still trapped behind fire worm of death ))
  1489.  
  1490. Renee:
  1491. aight you guys have fun
  1492.  
  1493. Cyprien:

  1499. Red-Haired Man:
  1500. "Good." He pats you on the shoulder, "Oh, and one more thing...Fair warning. If Cath dies, doesn't matter how much Chase begs or who he sends this way - the whole damn city wouldn't be able to stop me."
  1501.  
  1502. Red-Haired Man:

  1522.  
  1523. Renee:
  1524. This is the worst suicide attempt of all time
  1525.  
  1526. White Belle:
  1527. Someone may just catch you, though.
  1528.  
  1529. Renee:
  1530. Is this really only a 2 story building I'm fkn pissed
  1531.  
  1532. Cyprien:
  1533. Cy's mask burns away so he can look the deputy in the eye, "If she died, I don't think any of us would blame you." He looks over at the elevator, "I...should probably go let her know you're not gonna kill her..." Cy then looks back to Red-Haired Man, "We'll get this Team R. We'll set things right."
  1534. Thrice:

  1567. Cyprien: (( Can I reach the elevator or did you completely fuck that shit up? Like if I'm careful? ))
  1568. Cyprien: (( I have to get to you in canon. ))
  1569. Renee: (( Well it was only there to cover her tracks, it would have been dispelled by now ))
  1570. Cyprien: (( Oh, okay cool. ))
  1571.  
  1572. Cyprien:
  1573. "You have my word, deputy! Don't know what that's worth but I'll do my best!"
  1574. Renee: (( I just have to like, think things through from her perspective ))
  1575. Renee: (( I guess roof level could be a thing ))

  1594. oh and this boi dissolves into light
  1595.  
  1596. Fire-Phazed Sandworm:
  1597. which cascades down like grains of sand, littering the floor
  1598.  
  1599. Fire-Phazed Sandworm:
  1600. which looks really cool but will probably be a bitch to clean up
  1601.  
  1602. Renee:
  1603. She had completely forgotten that this building was so smol and has kind of been surveying her options
  1604.  
  1605. Renee:
  1606. but has not been able to work up the courage/portal energy to do it
  1607.

  1615. There's some words written on the ground that she smudges with her foot when she sees you coming
  1616.  
  1617. Cyprien:
  1618. "Renee...it's me..." he slowly approaches the girl, keeping a safe distance from her just in case she goes crazy so as not to startle her.
  1619.  
  1620. Cyprien:
  1621. "It's just me...Morgan's fine..."
  1622.  
  1623. Morgan:
  1624. Meanwhile, Morgan: "yo can u make me any more of those martinis"
  1625. Cyprien: (( He's real fine, I guess. ))
  1626.  
  1627. Renee:
  1628. "C- ngh, cy...?? Get away, he- h-he-e's going to... I'm g-..."

  1648.  
  1649. Renee:
  1650. "I'm just making things worse by being around...!"
  1651.  
  1652. Cyprien:
  1653. Cy shakes his head, "Renee...I'd be sitting in a jail cell for who knows how long if it weren't for you...I know things are bad, I know things are...well, really scary, honestly..." He takes a step closer, "But right now, we're all we've got right now. I'm depending on you and Morgan for this...in the end you're who I have on my side...and you have us."
  1654.  
  1655. Cyprien:
  1656. "And neither of us are gonna let anything happen to you..."
  1657.  
  1658. Renee:
  1659. Renee stumbles into him, and mumbles "thank you" beween sobs
  1660.
