  84. Cyprien: (( owo ))
  85. Butts: (( where r we ))
  86. Breach: (( Brahman Penitentiary map, bottom left. ))
  87.  
  88. Chief Catherim:
  89. Catherim prods Cy awake with a baton. The bright fluorescent light cooks your retinas, and the officer leans in, barely taller than your sitting position. She is not happy with you. "So...explain yourself."
  90. Breach: (( don't worry I'm just as kind of lost as you are? ))
  91. Thrice:
  92. On the other side, new day has dawned, and you've gotten yourselves wrapped up in a Beat. Team Y themselves challenged you - to a friendly game of B-Ball, on top of a youth center! According to Inc, the B stands for Beat. They agreed to 2-on-2, and the game's been pretty even.
  93. Butts: (( howd i get here ))
  94.  
  95. Inc.blot:

  108.  
  109. Breach:
  110. you don't, at least
  111.  
  112. Inc.blot:
  113. The red-haired fop is a lot quicker on his feet than he looks, blocking Morgan's path! With his defensive support, Igknight slams an oft-fabled 'dunk' to even up the score!
  114. Breach: (( Oh. That kind of B-ball. ))
  115. Breach: (( yeah that makes more sense. ))
  116.  
  117. Inc.blot:
  118. what
  119.  
  120. Inc.blot:
  121. other kind is there??
  122. Breach: (( base ))
  123.  
  124. Inc.blot:
  125. they did not challenge you to bulletball.
  126.  
  127. Inc.blot:
  128. If anyone is gonna do that, it's gonna be Team N.
  129. Morgan: (( never take agi to a baseball game ))
  130.  
  131. Cyprien:
  132. Cy clutches his head, trying to shield the bright light of the interrogation room from his eyes. He glances up briefly to gauge the situation. Three coppers, none look too happy. Well except Jetlag, he probably looks pretty full of himself. He looks back down, still clutching his head. "..."
  133.  
  134. Igknight:
  135. "Aw, yeah! You see that? Think you can top that?"
  136.  
  137. Breach:
  138. "Come on, Morgan, you gotta cover those!" Renee bites down on her thumb. (Crap! How have we been keeping up so far? They must be going easy...)
  139. Morgan: (( agi u suk ))
  140.  
  141. Igknight:
  142. Her continued gloating is drowned out as she passes you back the ball. The dull heartbeat of a diesel engine creeps into the fringes of your hearing.
  143.  
  144. Morgan:
  145. "*I* was being covered!"
  146.  
  147. Morgan:
  148. "Have you even played this game, Ren?"
  149.  
  150. Whip Cop:
  151. "Wake up, inmate! We've given you more than enough time to sleep!"
  152.  
  153. Breach:
  154. "Who hasn't shot hoops before?"
  155. Morgan: (( is someoone driving up to us or like ))
  156. Breach: (( idk we're on a roof or something ))
  157. Thrice:
  158. A gold-plated semi rolls up behind the building, its driver leaning out the window, shouting furiously at you.
  159. Morgan: (( oh ))
  160.  
  161. Morgan:
  162. Morgan catches the ball. "You all hear that?"
  163.  
  164. Breach:
  165. "Whoa. Never seen one of those before..."
  166.  
  167. Cyprien:
  168. "I'm awake...I assure you..."
  169.  
  170. Victor:
  171. "WHAT ARE YOU GODDAMNED KIDS DOING ON MY ROOF?! WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT?!"
  172.  
  173. Whip Cop:
  174. She slams the butt of her whip on the table, "Then answer the chief!"
  175.  
  176. Morgan:
  177. In a moment of poor thinking, Morgan shouts back, "What are you talking about? THIS IS OUR ROOF!"
  178. Breach: (( I wanna bounce the ball off his window. ))
  179.  
  180. Morgan:
  181. steal his car
  182. Breach: (( I might argue Perceptive helps for aim. ))
  183.  
  184. Chief Catherim:
  185. The dimunitive chief herself addresses you again, "Quiet, Kiyoko. He won't be any use to us if he's panicking. So...I ask you again. Explain yourself."
  186.  
  187. Breach:
  188. While the geezer bellows, Renee eases her glove off. "You'll get your turn soon enough, alright? Cool your jets!" She hucks the ball down at he windshield in the aim of bouncing it right back towards herself
  189.  
  190. Victor:
  191. "EVERYTHING ON THIS BLOCK BELONGS TO ME! VICTOR FONT!"
  192.  
  193. Victor:
  194. And yea you can hurl it
  195. Cyprien: (( OH NO. ))
  196.  
  197. Breach:
  198. (1, 5, 5, 6)
  199. Breach: (( is this the same block as Sakura Street? ))
  200.  
  201. Morgan:
  202. "OOh, I don't think we had to do that."
  203.  
  204. Cyprien:
  205. "I'll answer your chief in due time, Kiyoko." He makes sure to use the Whip Cop's name for extra smugness points. "But where should I begin...?"
  206.  
  207. Breach:
  208. "What, you try'na use him as an excuse? We have a game going!"
  209.  
  210. Victor:
  211. The ball ricochets off the windshield of Victor's truck, bouncing back to the court! It skips past Renee, and is stopped by Igknight's foot, who hackey-sacks it back up to her grip.
  212.  
  213. Victor:
  214. "You dare?! What if you'd busted my windshield?? This truck is worth more than you'll make in your entire lives, put together!"
  215.  
  216. Breach:
  217. "And it's a total eyesore!"
  218. Cyprien: (( Why'd y'all start playing basketball ))
  219. Morgan: (( we got asked ))
  220.  
  221. Chief Catherim:
  222. Kiyoko narrows her eyes, stretching her whip taut, but Catherim gets the first word in, "Start with telling us why you felt the need to rob the Lancast Museum. And, the name of the girl who conspired with you."
  223.  
  224. Morgan:
  225. catherim has a dumb hat
  226.  
  227. Eyesoar:
  228. "Yeah! A total eyesore! Ahyayayaya!"
  229. Breach: (( You take that back ))
  230.  
  231. Eyesoar:
  232. her dumb hat makes up 20% of her total height
  233. Cyprien: (( I should insult her hat. ))
  234. Breach: (( uuu ))
  235.  
  236. Breach:
  237. "Nice save, Ig. You guys down for a few more? It'll probably take him a bit to get over his heart attack."
  238.  
  239. Morgan:
  240. "He's still there."
  241.  
  242. Inc.blot:
  243. "You'd think so, but..."
  244.  
  245. Cyprien:
  246. "Right, of course. The museum. Well, it was there, wasn't it? A sapphire just begging to be stolen on a whim." He looks down at the table before him, because I assume there's a table before me, "I wasn't asked if I wanted to come to this city or not." Cy coughs, which hurts every fucking bone in his body because ow. "So I figured I'd have some fun while I'm here..."
  247.  
  248. Morgan:
  249. "Can't you just like, portal him out of his car?"
  250.  
  251. Victor:
  252. Victor revs up his engine, "You punks got FIVE SECONDS to get off my roof or I'm coming up there!!"
  253.  
  254. Morgan:
  255. Morgan waits five seconds.
  256.  
  257. Chief Catherim:
  258. "Just...waiting to be stolen? Is that all the respect you vandals have for other people's property?"
  259.  
  260. Breach:
  261. "He's not coming up here."
  262.  
  263. Breach:
  264. "Come on, are we doing this or what?"
  265.  
  266. Cyprien:
  267. "Hrmm, perhaps. As you've no doubt gone through and taken my property, you should be well aware that I don't have it anymore regardless..."
  268.  
  269. Morgan:
  270. "I don't know what makes you think he's just gonna walk away but okay, let's test it."
  271.  
  272. Victor:
  273. "YOU ASKED FOR IT!" Vic revs up his engine again, and you see him fussing around on his dashboard. The unmistakeable hiss of hydraulics kicks in, and Vic's semi raises fifteen feet, supported by giant poles sprouting from its wheels!
  274.  
  275. Morgan:
  276. Morgan sighs.
  277.  
  278. Deputy Dreyer:
  279. "Yeah. Which is why we'd like to know who you're working with."
  280.  
  281. Morgan:
  282. "I don't know what to expect in this place."
  283. Cyprien: (( Can I swap out a weakness with one that makes more sense at this point? :V ))
  284.  
  285. Deputy Dreyer:
  286. Sure, just lemme know
  287.  
  288. Deputy Dreyer:
  289. "I think I have a pretty good idea of why you'd want to break into the museum in the first place, but I don't think it was your idea."
  290. Cyprien: (( Gonna swap out kind-hearted for overconfident ))
  291. Cyprien: (( Because I'm pissed and cocky at this point :V ))
  292. Cyprien: (( Well, not as cocky, but I'm still talking talk :X ))
  293.  
  294. Inc.blot:
  295. "Wow! How unexpected! I think we can take it, though!"
  296.  
  297. Igknight:
  298. "No, you don't! Don't believe this guy, just run!" Iggy clambers up the rooftop building in front of her, preparing to leap to an adjacent rooftop
  299.  
  300. Victor:
  301. Vic is preparing to come at you!
  302.  
  303. Morgan:
  304. nothing personnel him agi
  305. Breach: (( like hell he'd deck me out ))
  306.  
  307. Breach:
  308. "Hoo - alright, SOME of that was well-spent!"
  309.  
  310. Breach:
  311. "Yeah, yeah, let's get moving!"
  312.  
  313. Breach:
  314. "Keep dribbling!"
  315.  
  316. Morgan:
  317. "I've, uh, never jumped buildings before!"
  318.  
  319. Cyprien:
  320. "You probably have all the answers you need, deputy."
  321.  
  322. Eyesoar:
  323. "Wowee~~ Oh, what a thrill!" She begins to hum to herself as she skates toward the edge, "Pass me the balllll!"
  324.  
  325. Victor:
  326. NOW PLAYING Tekken 3 Arranged OST - Heihachi Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aZQrzjxu5w
  327.  
  328. Deputy Dreyer:
  329. "I got my suspicions. But best to hear it from you."
  330.  
  331. Breach:
  332. "You'll learn quick!"
  333.  
  334. Whip Cop:
  335. "Stop wasting our time!" Kiyoko cracks her whip in the air, and shifts her arm, sending the tip toward your chair - but the Deputy catches her wrist.
  336.  
  337. Deputy Dreyer:
  338. "You're not thinking of hitting a defenseless kid, are you? Anything you do to him, I'm doing right back to you."
  339.  
  340. Morgan:
  341. where we droppin
  342.  
  343. Whip Cop:
  344. She blinks, looking down at her whip, and her face flushes, causing the deputy to sigh.
  345. Cyprien: (( So did he punch himself in the jaw for 120 damage? ))
  346.  
  347. Deputy Dreyer:
  348. "..not...like... God dammit, Cyprien. Answer us!"
  349. Breach: (( that's the only way he can get off. ))
  350.  
  351. Deputy Dreyer:
  352. you weren't defenseless.
  353.  
  354. Deputy Dreyer:
  355. entirely.
  356. Thrice:
  357. The building in front of you looks like a good spot - there's even a little connecting pipeway, if you don't trust your leaping skills
  358.  
  359. Breach:
  360. welp, I'll start us off, then
  361.  
  362. Breach:
  363. (1, 3, 6)
  364.  
  365. Breach:
  366. "He said he owns the block, yeah? Weave around stuff he wouldn't want broken!"
  367.  
  368. Cyprien:
  369. "I'm afraid you have just about as much knowledge on the matter as I do...it's been a fun game so far, I've met my share of interesting people, but I'm afraid it's not my place to incriminate anyone." He covers his eyes with his right hand again, "You caught the jewel thief, well done."
  370.  
  371. Chief Catherim:
  372. "I think you're forgetting something."
  373.  
  374. Chief Catherim:
  375. She opens up a desk, pulling out an old newspaper - from the day of the heist. The cover story is, naturally, all about the Saintly Sapphire's theft, and features your face, as well as Arkain's. "There are cameras all around the museum, and a certain reporter happened to snap a few shots of you, as well. Mind telling us who your accomplice is?"
  376.  
  377. Morgan:
  378. Morgan follows Renee down the pipeway.
  379.  
  380. Breach:
  381. aw like hell I'm jumpin
  382.  
  383. Morgan:
  384. (2, 3)
  385.  
  386. Morgan:
  387. just kidding Morgan uses the pipway!
  388. Thrice:
  389. Renee nearly flubs the landing, but the pipe saves her, and she manages to balance herself!
  390.  
  391. Cyprien:
  392. Cy takes a look at the newspaper, "Hmm, she's quite cute looking, I'd say."
  393.  
  394. Inc.blot:
  395. (2, 2, 2, 4)
  396.  
  397. Igknight:
  398. (1, 5, 6, 6)
  399.  
  400. Igknight:
  401. (4, 5, 6, 6)
  402.  
  403. Igknight:
  404. wrong person but sure
  405. Thrice:
  406. Morgan ain't so lucky, and comes damn close to falling off the pipe! But someone skates past him, and grabs him by the tie before he can slip off!
  407.  
  408. Breach:
  409. "Oop-!" She ankle twists as she catches herself. "Agh - Watch the gravel!"
  410.  
  411. Morgan:
  412. "AHH- Thank you!"
  413.  
  414. Eyesoar:
  415. Skating backward, Eyesoar's mask leans in, the nose nearly touching yours, "Hmm-hmm-hmm! Wow, you could have died, hahaha! You gonna be okaaay?"
  416. Thrice:
  417. Igknight makes a leap, and Inc. barely makes the jump, scrambling up from the side of the building! But Vic ain't slowing down...
  418. Breach: (( whose dog is that ))
  419.  
  420. Rio:
  421. hers
  422.  
  423. Rio:
  424. It's a good boy
  425. Breach: (( yea ))
  426. Tokens dropped onto map 'Brahman Penitentiary' by player Ci Tsukino (Player)
  427.  
  428. Silver:
  429. borfk
  430.  
  431. Victor:
  432. The smoking pipes atop Victor's truck slide down, then the tops fold over, revealing barrels!
  433.  
  434. Victor:
  435. They begin to fire at you!
  436.  
  437. Victor:
  438. (2, 2, 4, 6)
  439.  
  440. Breach:
  441. Renee scrumbles over the piping, casting glances over her shoulder. She's genuinely curious how he plans to cross the gap- aaand, curiousity gone.
  442.  
  443. Breach:
  444. "Take cover!"
  445.  
  446. Chief Catherim:
  447. "Don't play dumb with me. ...okay, you had to be pretty dumb in the first place to pull a stunt like this, but you know what I mean."
  448.  
  449. Morgan:
  450. "Is this a video game?"
  451.  
  452. Chief Catherim:
  453. She slams the paper down on the desk, "Who is this?! She entered and left with you! We saw her distracting the guards while you took the sapphire. There's no way she isn't involved in some way."
  454.  
  455. Morgan:
  456. Morgan sprints behind a structure for safety!
  457.  
  458. Morgan:
  459. (1, 2)
  460.  
  461. Morgan:

  463. Breach: (( uhh, shit ))
  464. Breach: (( can I use my roll to help him, yank him by his goofy collars ))
  465. Breach: (( sure plural ))
  466.  
  467. Morgan:
  468. why dont u just portal our asses
  469. Breach: (( that's not how it WORKS ))
  470.  
  471. Igknight:
  472. "Holy moly! This guy's nuts!"
  473.  
  474. Morgan:
  475. "What car company makes those!?"
  476.  
  477. Inc.blot:
  478. "It's not that bad! Everything'll be okay!"
  479.  
  480. Breach:
  481. quick, evasive
  482.  
  483. Cyprien:
  484. "If you're asking who she is or what her name is, she never spoke a word of it." He doesn't flinch as the chief slams the desk.
  485.  
  486. Breach:
  487. I am good at not getting gunned
  488.  
  489. Breach:
  490. (1, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5)

  499. Thrice:
  500. Yeah, you can help move He Boy
  501. Thrice:
  502. Doing so will give you a penalty to your rolls, probably
  503. Breach: (( I -will- be portaling to spraypaint out one of his rearview mirro ))
  504. Thrice:
  505. But I mean Eyesoar just did it
  506. Breach: (( rs ))
  507. Breach: (( once I can ))
  508.  
  509. Igknight:
  510. "Rio! Get in the way! I built you tougher than a few measly bullets!"
  511.  
  512. Eyesoar:
  513. "Oh, but what kind of bullets are they?? We won't know unless we're hit!"
  514.  
  515. Igknight:
  516. "Don't wanna find out!"
  517.  
  518. Rio:

  521. Rio:
  522. Rio jumps in the way, totally unaffected by the hail of...gunfire, probably
  523.  
  524. Igknight:
  525. Meanwhile, Igknight scrambles up the outpost here
  526.  
  527. Victor:
  528. "You ain't gettin' away that easily!" Victor activates BOOST MODE, rocketing across the gap with a burst of nitro!
  529.  
  530. Deputy Dreyer:
  531. "Look, I know you're trying to protect your partner. I get that, respectable. But you oughta know the situation you're in."
  532.  
  533. Inc.blot:
  534. "It's okay, we can still get away!"
  535.  
  536. Inc.blot:
  537. "Wait, what is he wearing...? Ugh, that doesn't work at all!" While Inc. is busy scrutinizing the old man's fashion sense, Eyesoar grabs him by the scarf and whisks him away!
  538.  
  539. Breach:
  540. "Alright, Don - let's see how you like this one!" Renee shakes up a spraycan, and taps the side of the AC unit - opening up a portal on the driver's side door! From there, she reaches through and douses his mirror in yellow paint!
  541.  
  542. Breach:
  543. (1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5)
  544.  
  545. Eyesoar:
  546. "Later, later! We'll get him a new suit if we survive~~"
  547.  
  548. Breach:
  549. "Missed a spot! Ehehe, let's see this whole thing gold trimmed!"
  550.  
  551. Morgan:
  552. "Good job!" Morgan keeps trying to run away from the very very fast and dangerous truck.
  553.  
  554. Morgan:
  555. That might drive out of control.
  556.  
  557. Morgan:
  558. HMM
  559.  
  560. Cyprien:
  561. "Ahaha, the situation I'm in? It would appear I'm in jail, in an interrogation room, to be exact, being questioned by chief, deputy and...Kiyoko, was it?" Cy shakes his head, which hurts quite a bit due to the punch, "My situation can't get much worse, and I'm aware of that much. Isn't that how these interrogations work, anyway? You ask a bunch of questions you already know the answer to in order to get me to confess everything I know?"
  562.  
  563. Victor:
  564. "YOU!!! I'll kill you for that!"
  565.  
  566. Inc.blot:
  567. "Come on, he wouldn't possibly do that for real!" Inc says as Eyesoar dodges gunfire for him
  568.  
  569. Inc.blot:
  570. still dragging him and his board around
  571.  
  572. Chief Catherim:
  573. "If you know that much, then you ought to know that complying will lessen your sentence. You aren't hiding anything from us, you're only complicating things for yourself."
  574.  
  575. Deputy Dreyer:
  576. "Let's leave this line of questionign for later. There's another matter we need to discuss..."
  577.  
  578. Breach:
  579. "Just finishing up your paint job! You do something, you do it right!" Renee sneers, and continues to run.
  580.  
  581. Deputy Dreyer:
  582. "Yesterday, officers reported you fleeing the scene with a known gang leader - Black Belle. Why were you working with this woman? I'll admit you're new here, so you may not know of her infamy, but anyone spending a minute with her should be able to gather how dangerous she is."
  583.  
  584. Victor:
  585. "AAARGGH!!" Victor FLOORS it, ramping up the hydraulics again, and LEAPING toward you! He's coming down fast - get out of the way!
  586. Breach: (( Is he leaping OVER Morgan and such? ))
  587.  
  588. Victor:
  589. Yea
  590.  
  591. Victor:
  592. over/onto
  593.  
  594. Morgan:
  595. those r very different things
  596. Breach: (( they ARE very different things ))
  597.  
  598. Cyprien:
  599. "Ah, that? Well that situation I can perhaps provide more information on." He closes his right eye, his head pounding, "Whether you choose to believe me on any of this however is entirely up to you." Cy exhales heavily, his body aching, "I had never met Miss Belle prior to yesterday...it was yesterday, correct? It's only been a day since?"
  600.  
  601. Inc.blot:
  602. "Oh dear...Stay where you are, people! He'll miss!" He says tihs as he himself gets the hell out of the way, unraveling his scarf from Eyesoar's grip
  603.  
  604. Inc.blot:
  605. (3, 5, 6)
  606.  
  607. Eyesoar:
  608. (2, 5, 6, 6)
  609.  
  610. Victor:
  611. (3, 3, 4, 6, 6)
  612. Breach: (( So. This isn't the type of situation where a counter is appropriate, is it. ))
  613.  
  614. Whip Cop:
  615. Kiyoko seems to have gotten over her flash of embarrassment, "Of course it's only been a day! That's more rest than you deserve!"
  616.  
  617. Morgan:
  618. do i roll too
  619. Whip Cop: (( no - and you also need to declare counters before the actual attack is rolled ))
  620. Whip Cop: (( Which I know I haven't been doing but I keep getting caught off guard/nobody mentions it lol ))
  621.  
  622. Cyprien:
  623. "I must admit, that uppercut did a number on me; for all I know it could've been a week." He chuckles slightly, which again, hurts. "I had accepted a mission to stop her. Apparently she's been causing trouble as of the last few days. We played a few rounds of cards, with her ceasing her actions as a wager. There's no doubt in my mind that had I lost, I would've been killed."
  624.  
  625. Breach:
  626. Renee does some Quick Maths :tm:, and sprays an X on the ground roooughly where she expects the front of the truck to land. Then, at the last second, stomps her foot to portal out of the wall of the outpost.
  627.  
  628. Igknight:
  629. Igknight drops a thick wire down from the top, "Yo! Grab on, if ya need a lift!"
  630.  
  631. Cyprien:
  632. "When your officers arrived on the scene, I knew I was at risk as well. Desperate times, and such."
  633.  
  634. Igknight:
  635. You'll still need to roll, Agi
  636. Breach: (( yea I'm just looking ))
  637.  
  638. Igknight:
  639. I don't know...WHAT
  640.  
  641. Morgan:
  642. Morgan takes hold of the wire!
  643. Breach: (( I think I have it set up so that only the Other Ability applies ))
  644. Breach: (( Charismatic might? Overconfident certainly does ))
  645. Breach: (( Spraycanning was just for style ))
  646. Cyprien: (( Me, blasting this for the past hour ))
  647. Cyprien: (( https://youtu.be/8GSY0ZtwD1M ))
  648.  
  649. Breach:
  650. (1, 3, 3, 3, 5)
  651. Cyprien: (( Nice threes, my dude. ))
  652.  
  653. Igknight:
  654. She nods to Rio, and the wire reels inward, yanking Morgan up with it! You'll need to roll Strong/Weak to hang on, or if you can think of something else that might apply, go for it
  655. Breach: (( danke ))
  656.  
  657. Morgan:
  658. (4, 5, 6, 6)
  659.  
  660. Morgan:
  661. me stronk
  662.  
  663. Eyesoar:
  664. Eyesoar pirouettes out of the way, weaving between the pipes and transistors to get out of the way of the truck's shadow!
  665.  
  666. Inc.blot:
  667. Inc. is not so lucky, and barely makes it out of the way before the truck crashes down, showering him in rubble!
  668. Inc.blot lost 12 Health!
  669. Breach: (( DX? ))
  670.  
  671. Inc.blot:
  672. 2
  673.  
  674. Morgan:
  675. "Are you all alright?" Morgan yells.
  676. Cyprien: (( AND THEN I TAKE A SWING AT JETLAG. ))
  677.  
  678. Chief Catherim:
  679. "So you cooperated with a clearly dangerous woman, instead of the police?"
  680.  
  681. Breach:
  682. Renee falls feet-first, landing on her back onto the walkway! The tires of the truck grind against her hat as she falls!
  683.  
  684. Inc.blot:
  685. "Y-yep! Totally fine! Never better!"
  686.  
  687. Igknight:
  688. "Oh christ, he's dying. Hang on, we'll get you outta there!"
  689. Cyprien: (( In fairness, y'all are clearly dangerous too ))
  690.  
  691. Chief Catherim:
  692. fuck you I made you breakfast
  693. Breach: (( He helped. ))
  694. Cyprien: (( I'VE HEARD STORIES. ))
  695. Cyprien: (( And he punched me. ))
  696.  
  697. Chief Catherim:
  698. you deserved it
  699.  
  700. Chief Catherim:
  701. i believe this on behalf of liking him far more than i like you
  702. Cyprien: (( We're not here to talk about who deserved it. ))
  703.  
  704. Deputy Dreyer:
  705. "A mission, huh? That's not any proof. Those things run on technicalities, there's even been a team abusing that for easy points... Well, regardless - stay clear of that woman, you hear? Whatever your sentence ends up being, you'll be far better of if you never interact with her again."
  706.  
  707. Deputy Dreyer:
  708. off*
  709.  
  710. Victor:
  711. "Hahahaha! Stupid kids! What're you gonna do now?! Mommy ain't here to save you!"
  712.  
  713. Breach:
  714. "Might've overdone it there... scatter, guys! He can't catch all of us!"
  715.  
  716. Cyprien:
  717. "I suppose I did. Perhaps I'm a sucker for a pretty face." He smiles faintly, "Ah, no offense, Kiyoko. You hadn't shown up yet."
  718.  
  719. Cyprien:
  720. "I'm sure we're not each other's type, deputy." he adds.
  721. Breach: (( CATHERIM, though. ))
  722.  
  723. Inc.blot:
  724. Inc stops running, pivoting on the spot, "I see... I'll put a stop to this geezer. Get off the roof - if he pulls something like this in the street, he'll be arrested for sure!"
  725. Cyprien: (( She wasn't there. It was Gender Swap Paul Blart. ))
  726.  
  727. Morgan:
  728. "How do you suppose we get down from here...?"
  729.  
  730. Deputy Dreyer:
  731. and actual paul blart
  732.  
  733. Whip Cop:
  734. Kiyoko looks away, gritting her teeth, "F-flattery will get you nowhere, inmate!"
  735.  
  736. Breach:
  737. "Find a fire escape or something, I dunno! He's pissed at me, I'm not going with you!"
  738.  
  739. Deputy Dreyer:
  740. "So that was Black Belle, after all. I figured, but thanks for confirming." He smirks down at you, "Now, then..."
  741.  
  742. Morgan:
  743. can i roll perceptive to think of a way down
  744.  
  745. Morgan:
  746. slash smart
  747.  
  748. Chief Catherim:
  749. "However much you try to hide it, our info tech team is cracking into your phone as we speak. In due time, we'll discover your accomplice's identity. It'd do you a lot of good to stop playing the hero, and make our job a little easier. I'm only trying to lessen your sentence... You might be a vandal, but we did share breakfast together."
  750.  
  751. Whip Cop:
  752. "Y-you did?! D-does the deputy know about this??"
  753. Breach: (( I missed the part where he ratted out Belle? ))
  754.  
  755. Deputy Dreyer:
  756. "...I was there, yes."
  757. Cyprien: (( He got it in a roundabout way. ))
  758. Thrice:
  759. And yes, you can
  760. Thrice:
  761. @wrk
  762. Cyprien: (( I never said her name but he alluded to it. ))
  763.  
  764. Inc.blot:
  765. Inc.blot crosses his arms over his chest, "Make way!" He gestures toward the truck, extending an outstretched palm!
  766. Inc.blot uses 10 Endurance!
  767.  
  768. Morgan:
  769. (1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6)
  770. Breach: (( Suddenly Morgan remembers he has a parachuute ))
  771.  
  772. Morgan:
  773. oh shit a parachute!
  774.  
  775. Morgan:
  776. i dont think you can parachute from this height
  777.  
  778. Cyprien:
  779. "Ahaha, playing the hero..that seems quite contradictory considering my actions." He shrugs, "You'll find out in due time, if you're truly cracking my phone as you say. I'm sure she won't appreciate it much; my phone that is." Cy clutches at his head again, the pounding headache returning once more, "As far as I'm concerned, I acted on my own volition. If anyone else wants to turn themselves in for my crimes, they can be my guest."
  780. Breach: (( a minichute ))
  781.  
  782. Inc.blot:
  783. "Walled Garden!" A barricade of leaves and hedges springs up from the roof around the truck, walling it in! There's even a roof! "He can't see us now, get out while you can!"
  784.  
  785. Breach:
  786. o fuk
  787.  
  788. Breach:
  789. bush
  790. Thrice:
  791. Morgan, you can deduct a path down - there are various pipes, roofs, and overhangs, and if you follow just the right route, you can touch down without having to make any perilous gaps! It's a good thing, too, cause everyone else was sort of panicking about how to get off the damn roof
  792.  
  793. Eyesoar:
  794. Well, except Eyesoar. She's still singing along, blading super fakie
  795.  
  796. Chief Catherim:
  797. Cath sighs, "Playing hard to get, huh? It's only making it tougher on you, you know. Well, fine..."
  798.  
  799. Breach:
  800. "Nice! How long'll that hold, Inc?" Renee watches the tires spin, trying to decide if she has enough time for another tatg
  801.  
  802. Breach:
  803. -t
  804.  
  805. Chief Catherim:
  806. "I've got another question for you. This game of yours, you're not the only ones participating, correct?"
  807.  
  808. Chief Catherim:
  809. "This is another one of those 'we already know the answer' questions, so don't even bother lying."
  810.  
  811. Inc.blot:
  812. "I'm not entirely sure! It's never been tested against a truck."
  813.  
  814. Victor:
  815. "I KNEW YOU WERE A DAMN PANSY"
  816.  
  817. Breach:
  818. "I'll just go for the one, then!" Right on the tire.
  819.  
  820. Victor:
  821. He floors it, but the garden holds strong for now! You better get out quick, though!
  822.  
  823. Cyprien:
  824. Cy holds up his X-covered hand, "Team X. Just like you, deputy. Like you said, you already know there's more..."
  825.  
  826. Breach:
  827. shuka shuka *psshhhh*
  828.  
  829. Breach:
  830. (1, 1, 3, 5)
  831.  
  832. Morgan:
  833. "I think I found a way out of this mess! Follow my lead!" Morgan starts hanging down the side of the roof to land on a pipe.
  834.  
  835. Breach:
  836. just an X over the tire
  837.  
  838. Victor:
  839. You paint the symbol on his rim! But now you gotta get outta the garden yourself...
  840.  
  841. Victor:
  842. Which uh. Won't be easy.
  843.  
  844. Victor:
  845. It's a completely solid room of Hedge
  846. Breach: (( yea that's fair ))
  847.  
  848. Igknight:
  849. "Oh, sweet! I knew you had to be good for something, bein' on the top team!"
  850. Breach: (( I think I'm just gonna hang out on the truck. ))
  851.  
  852. Whip Cop:
  853. "Like you...?"
  854.  
  855. Deputy Dreyer:
  856. "Long story. Go on, Cath."
  857.  
  858. Cyprien:
  859. "You used to be a troublemaker too, didn't you, deputy?"
  860.  
  861. Chief Catherim:
  862. "Oh, yes, he did. But I talked some sense into him, and I'll do the same to you!"
  863.  
  864. Breach:
  865. Renee pulls out her phone and shoots a text to Morgan. (Hitching a ride! I'll see you at the Pavillion.)
  866.  
  867. Chief Catherim:
  868. "I understand not wanting to sell out your accomplices - or friends, so I'll offer you another chance to lighten your sentence. These Teams - you said you're on X, correct? Do you know anything about a Team R?"
  869.  
  870. Breach:
  871. Gonna just. Check for any cameras what may be back here
  872.  
  873. Breach:
  874. (3, 5, 6, 6)
  875.  
  876. Breach:
  877. And spray em if I find em
  878. Thrice:
  879. There's a reverse camera, so that Victor can make sure he only backs over the CORRECT sorts of people.
  880.  
  881. Morgan:
  882. can i be on the ground yet
  883.  
  884. Morgan:

  887. Victor:
  888. "GET OFFA MY TRUCK YOU DAMNED MISCREANT"
  889.  
  890. Morgan:
  891. "Is she... gonna take the car?"
  892.  
  893. Victor:
  894. Nah, you guys make it down the route safely. You're on the sidewalk now - and there's no way Victor can see you, so you should make yourself scarce while you have the chance
  895. Cyprien: (( Acet0ne mentioned the name Rust right ))
  896. Victor: (( He didn't, I don't think - but Karet Kake or Arkain one did ))
  897. Cyprien: (( Fuck ))
  898.  
  899. Morgan:
  900. Morgan finally hits ground. "Let's get back home!"
  901.  
  902. Inc.blot:
  903. "Uh...hmm..." Inc dives off the side of the building!
  904. Inc.blot uses 5 Endurance!
  905.  
  906. Inc.blot:
  907. (3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6)
  908.  
  909. Inc.blot:
  910. As he falls, a barricade of cushy leaves forms around him, softening the impact to near nothing!
  911.  
  912. Igknight:
  913. Igknight makes use of her OWN Weird Dog to clear the streets of passerby, making a nice path for you
  914. Breach: (( Is he using up Endurance to do those? Did I miss that memo? ))
  915.  
  916. Igknight:
  917. Your soul album should prolley have some kind of Endurance Cost, yea
  918. Breach: (( Totally cool if they do require Endurance to use. I was wondering how tf to balance it ))
  919.  
  920. Cyprien:
  921. "Team R..?" Cy tries to think back, "I've never met any of them, I can promise you that. I've heard they're violent, that's about all I know."
  922.  
  923. Igknight:
  924. technically his is using Endurance bc his Barriers technically have the Effective perk lmao
  925. Breach: (( Okay I've seen a few perks I can apply ))
  926.  
  927. Chief Catherim:
  928. "Violent, and very dangerous. Please, if you have any information, we'd greatly appreciate it."
  929.  
  930. Deputy Dreyer:
  931. "I know your memory might be a little fuzzy, but you remember how the streets were flooded yesterday, yes? We have reason to believe that might have been their doing."
  932. Thrice:
  933. Wrk, as you run down the street with Igknight, you're stopped dead in your tracks by a familiar face
  934.  
  935. Morgan:
  936. bork bork
  937.  
  938. Cyprien:
  939. "Unfortunately I do remember that..." he shudders, "The only thing I know about Team R is they put out a beat simply to fight people the other day. A member of Team N got beaten quite badly, apparently effortlessly...and he's quite a large guy." Cy tries hard to remember anything else; he doesn't really care about throwing these guys under the bus. "Apparently one of them goes by the name of Rust?"
  940.  
  941. Journalist Girl:
  942. A girl is waving around newspapers, shouting for attention, "FRESH OFF THE PRESSES, THE LATEST EDITION!" Above her stand is a huge printout of someone you know all too well - Cy. Under his mugshot, a headline reads, 'SINGLE SAINTLY SAPPHIRE SUSPECT IN CUSTODY'
  943.  
  944. Chief Catherim:
  945. "Hmm... TEam N...and Rust, you say? Thank you. That should provide us with a couple of leads. That's enough for today, I think... Kiyoko, take him to his cell, will you?"
  946.  
  947. Morgan:
  948. do i know her? am i forgetful
  949.  
  950. Breach:
  951. Renee ain't getting off this truck. She does hug its wall, staying out of LoS of the GUN'S
  952.  
  953. Journalist Girl:
  954. The familiar face isn't hers
  955. Cyprien: (( She's only familiar in the context of the story. ))
  956.  
  957. Journalist Girl:
  958. it's Cy's
  959.  
  960. Morgan:
  961. oh lel
  962.  
  963. Morgan:
  964. dumb
  965.  
  966. Morgan:
  967. "Wait," Morgan runs up to the news stand. "That's Cy!"
  968.  
  969. Whip Cop:
  970. "Yes, Ma'am! Right away!" She tightens her whip again, staring at you menacingly
  971.  
  972. Morgan:
  973. Morgan snaps a picture of the front page and texts it to Renee.
  974.  
  975. Deputy Dreyer:
  976. "I'll...go with, I think."
  977.  
  978. Journalist Girl:
  979. The girl darts up to you, pencil at the ready, "Oh?! You know the criminal? Tell me, what's he like?! Did he seem off to you? Or was he the quiet type? Did you ever suspect him capable of such an act of larceny?!"
  980.  
  981. Igknight:
  982. "Whoa, kid, slow down! What's goin' on here?"
  983. Cyprien: (( Am I handcuffed or are they just gonna assume that I'm not gonna do shit at risk of a second punch to the head? ))
  984.  
  985. Morgan:
  986. "Um, wait, why?"
  987.  
  988. Morgan:
  989. Morgan thinks to himself for a second before responding, "I, uh, know someone who went to high school with him."
  990.  
  991. Whip Cop:
  992. You aren't handcuffed, but Kiyoko has a tight grip on your wrist
  993.  
  994. Victor:
  995. "CONSARNED PLANTS! I'll show you what for!" He activates BOOST again, burning a hole in the back of the wall, and slams the truck into reverse!
  996.  
  997. Victor:
  998. Roll to hang the fuck on as the truck topples over the back edge of the rooftop, Renee!
  999.  
  1000. Cyprien:
  1001. "Ah, you don't have to grip so tightly if you just want to hold my hand, ow, ow..."
  1002.  
  1003. Breach:
  1004. Well Vigorous worked to hold on BEFORE...
  1005.  
  1006. Breach:
  1007. gonna burn some Endurance to hold on tighter.
  1008.  
  1009. Breach:
  1010. (1, 1, 1, 3, 4, 5)
  1011.  
  1012. Breach:
  1013. Thanks, 1s.
  1014.  
  1015. Whip Cop:
  1016. "Guh..." She blushes, but gives your wrist the ol' twist, "Don't talk to an officer that way!"
  1017.  
  1018. Chief Catherim:
  1019. "Haaaahh... It'd be in your best interest to behave yourself, kid... I'd rather not have to extend your sentence because of misconduct, but I will if I must."
  1020.  
  1021. Breach:
  1022. Renee can't even feel Morgan's text vibrate with the RUMRUMRUMRUMRUM of the truck
  1023.  
  1024. Morgan:
  1025. "Where is this girl...?" Morgan texts Renee like 5 more times in various forms LOOK AT THIS and WHERE ARE YOU.
  1026.  
  1027. Morgan:
  1028. of*
  1029.  
  1030. Deputy Dreyer:
  1031. "Loosen up, Officer Katou. You don't want to injure him." Any more than i already have
  1032.  
  1033. Cyprien:
  1034. "My apologies..." he seems sincere about that.
  1035.  
  1036. Victor:
  1037. You manage to hold on, but just barely, and the truck knocks you against the wall!
  1038.  
  1039. Victor:
  1040. (2, 4, 5)
  1041.  
  1042. Victor:
  1043. Thankfully, it doesn't hurt much, but it's sure a shock to the system
  1044.  
  1045. Journalist Girl:
  1046. "Wow, you did?! Did they mention anything about him?"
  1047.  
  1048. Whip Cop:
  1049. Kiyoko drags you along to your cell, tossing you in, "You better watch your tongue if you know what's good for you!"
  1050.  
  1051. Breach:
  1052. "Unf! Take some driving lessons, geezer!"
  1053.  
  1054. Cyprien:
  1055. Cy stumbles into the cell, barely regaining his footing, "Of course..my apologies.."
  1056.  
  1057. Deputy Dreyer:
  1058. There's a few token guards stationed around the area, including Porc, who apparently survived Belle's assault. He looks a little roughed up, but hey, gotta put food on the table.
  1059.  
  1060. Breach:
  1061. "This is my stop anyway!"
  1062. Cyprien: (( See? Porc is alright ))
  1063. Breach: (( Gonna just hop off here. ))
  1064.  
  1065. Victor:
  1066. With the camera covered up, he doesn't notice you getting off. But it's a good thing you did, cause he BOOSTS through again, using his truck's hydraulics to sail straight over other vehicles, and right through traffic lights!
  1067.  
  1068. Victor:
  1069. You might've been shocked something fierce by the wires if you'd still be clinging on
  1070.  
  1071. Victor:
  1072. However, he has no idea where everyone ran off to, and goes down the wrong street
  1073.  
  1074. Breach:
  1075. I think I'm going to take the stairs down.
  1076.  
  1077. Victor:
  1078. You might be safe for now...
  1079.  
  1080. Whip Cop:
  1081. With a final glare, Kiyoko saunters away, proud of herself.
  1082.  
  1083. Breach:
  1084. so many texts
  1085.  
  1086. Deputy Dreyer:
  1087. Once she leaves, the deputy steps toward your cell, leaning in to speak to you, "So...you really got yourself in a heap of trouble, huh? How're you plannin' to get outta this one?"
  1088.  
  1089. Morgan:
  1090. weird dog will help him
  1091.  
  1092. Breach:
  1093. (Geez, alright, alright, I'm fine! Glad you are too! Give me a second to catch up here, got a whole wall to go through.) @Morgan
  1094.  
  1095. Breach:
  1096. (...Oh, crap. Cy? What happened?)
  1097.  
  1098. Inc.blot:
  1099. Eyesoar and Inc. roll in, having been informed of the location by their own teammate, "Hey, you survived! See, I knew we'd make it out okay!"
  1100.  
  1101. Cyprien:
  1102. Cy sits down on the bed, "Haaaah...not a clue. Hadn't thought this far." He lets out a sigh and looks over at the officer, "I never asked for any of this...I'm not going to act innocent for what I've done...but I don't even know why I'm here...where here is...if it's real...I mean, it feels real, that's quite the right hook you have..." He chuckles softly, "I assume it didn't go this badly for your team...?"
  1103.  
  1104. Breach:
  1105. (Where'd you end up? Don't make me build up a wall of my own. I will.)
  1106.  
  1107. Deputy Dreyer:
  1108. "Somehow...Well, I got myself into a situation a lot like you're in right now not far into our game. Can't say I'm proud of how I got out of it... But, well, I hadn't robbed a museum, see. Had a little more wiggle room."
  1109.  
  1110. Morgan:
  1111. Morgan drops a pin for Renee. "Meet here!"
  1112. Breach: (( oh so that's what that feature is for ))
  1113. Breach: (( I can't tell you how many times I accidentally shared my location when I didn't want to ))
  1114.  
  1115. Deputy Dreyer:
  1116. "I expect you'll be out of here in a day or two, tops... Illegally, of course. But I got some advice for you."
  1117.  
  1118. Breach:
  1119. Renee looks both ways
  1120.  
  1121. Morgan:
  1122. "God, what are we gonna do?" Morgan frantically reads the article.
  1123.  
  1124. Deputy Dreyer:
  1125. "I was a hothead like you back in the day. Hardly ever stuck around my team, went off on my own for points and glory...and girls. But I don't suggest that line of operation, if you want to make it out of here. Uh - the 'game', I mean. Didn't work out for me, in the end, did it?"
  1126. Thrice:
  1127. There's lots of info in the article - but the most important to you is where Cy's being held, the Brahman City Penitentiary, the biggest jail in the city
  1128. Morgan: (( girls ))
  1129.  
  1130. Cyprien:
  1131. "You seem happy with how things ended up...but...what happened? You guys just got stuck here forever...? I mean, my life back home isn't anywhere near as exciting as this but...the thought of not going home is...weird..."
  1132. Thrice:
  1133. It also mentions a possible accomplice, the girl in some of the other photos, but she hasn't been apprehended yet
  1134.  
  1135. Morgan:
  1136. "Jesus, this stolen thing must've been a big deal."
  1137.  
  1138. Deputy Dreyer:
  1139. "Happy, huh... I guess it looks that way... Well, in some ways, I am. But I made a lot of mistakes. In the end, we didn't manage to get back home, or end this game... If you want out, you're gonna have to be your own ticket home."
  1140.  
  1141. Morgan:
  1142. "Have any of you heard about this?"
  1143.  
  1144. Breach:
  1145. "The biggest jail in the city? How many jails are IN the city?" Renee flips through a paper of her own. "Goddd, Cyyyy! What are you doing going off and getting caught?!"
  1146.  
  1147. Journalist Girl:
  1148. "Only the biggest! The Saintly Sapphire is one of the most prestigious gems in the world!"
  1149.  
  1150. Breach:
  1151. "He didn't even keep the stupid thing, how did he get arrested for that?"
  1152.  
  1153. Cyprien:
  1154. "Is this even the same game though..? You should know better than anyone...right? You made it sound like your team won...but if that wasn't enough..."
  1155.  
  1156. Deputy Dreyer:
  1157. "Well...we didn't lose, I guess. I've got some friends who'd say this was the best outcome, but...there were some setbacks, in my opinion."
  1158.  
  1159. Morgan:
  1160. "Who would even want this?" Morgan takes note of the potential accomplice. "I wonder who it could be..."
  1161.  
  1162. Deputy Dreyer:
  1163. "The stipulations in this trial don't seem to be the same, but that just means there might be a chance, if you want to get home."
  1164. Morgan: (( how did we even end last velocity lol ))
  1165. Cyprien: (( We made it into the big inner chamber place and the game ended. ))
  1166. Cyprien: (( Pretty sure it ended on a beach episode. ))
  1167.  
  1168. Deputy Dreyer:
  1169. "...but you're not going to make it, like you are now. Focus on getting stronger. And work with your teammates."
  1170.  
  1171. Cyprien:
  1172. "Ahh...even if I got out of here, I'd just be chased by the cops all the time..maybe I deserve this...I don't particularly want to get punched in the face again.."
  1173.  
  1174. Deputy Dreyer:
  1175. "Eh, don't worry about that. It'd just be bullying at this point. But once you toughen up a bit? No promises."
  1176.  
  1177. Eyesoar:
  1178. "OOooohhh!~ I wonder who it could be... but I know, I know! I've seen her before, of course!"
  1179.  
  1180. Cyprien:
  1181. "Heh...sorry about punching you in the face..seemed like a good idea at the time..I just...thought about everyone...I didn't want to go down..fail them.."
  1182.  
  1183. Deputy Dreyer:
  1184. "Nothing wrong with that." He glances around, making sure the coast is clear, "I can't help you get out of here...but if you do, I can cool the heat on you. I've got friends who'd like to see you succeed...I don't want to let them down."
  1185.  
  1186. Morgan:
  1187. "Who? Tell me!"
  1188.  
  1189. Journalist Girl:
  1190. "No, tell me! Actually, tell all!"
  1191. Breach: (( it's a pretty clear shot of Arkain's face isn't it ))
  1192.  
  1193. Inc.blot:
  1194. "Ah, you've met her, Eyesoar?"
  1195.  
  1196. Inc.blot:
  1197. It is yeah. Face, body, probably some thighs in there
  1198.  
  1199. Morgan:
  1200. "God, where is Renee?"
  1201.  
  1202. Breach:
  1203. damn nice
  1204.  
  1205. Morgan:
  1206. thighz
  1207.  
  1208. Breach:
  1209. I'm right here I've been talking to you I thought
  1210.  
  1211. Eyesoar:
  1212. "Oh, oh, I've seen her, too!"
  1213.  
  1214. Journalist Girl:
  1215. "Focus, woman! Give me the deets!"
  1216.  
  1217. Breach:
  1218. "Don't tell her anything!"
  1219.  
  1220. Breach:
  1221. "Do you want her to get locked up too?"
  1222.  
  1223. Eyesoar:
  1224. "Awawawa~~ Hmhmmm... who to trust??"
  1225.  
  1226. Journalist Girl:
  1227. "Who cares about that!! This is my livelihood we're talking about, here!"
  1228.  
  1229. Cyprien:
  1230. Cy nods quietly, acknowledging their silent agreement. "...so...what happened to me back there...?" He looks at the X on his hand, "You said I could do something you couldn't...it just sort of...came to me..."
  1231. Breach: (( Thrice the pizza is here ))
  1232.  
  1233. Deputy Dreyer:
  1234. nice
  1235. Breach: (( probably. A lot has been eaten ))
  1236. Cyprien: (( Bizza. ))
  1237. Cyprien: (( That sandwich was satisfying. I can't complain :X ))
  1238.  
  1239. Breach:
  1240. "Aren't you selling enough papers already?"
  1241.  
  1242. Morgan:
  1243. oh i thought you were running up to me still
  1244.  
  1245. Deputy Dreyer:
  1246. "Guess I can't blame you for not knowing. That was a Soul Album... I'm sure you've seen those Disruptions around? The monsters? Same deal. Except this belongs to you. Some people in this game manifest one...I was the only one on my Team who didn't. But go don't feelin' pity for me, I got my own ways of holding my own."
  1247.  
  1248. Journalist Girl:
  1249. "Yeah, for once! I don't wanna be hungry again in a week!!"
  1250.  
  1251. Morgan:
  1252. "What do you normally report about?"
  1253.  
  1254. Morgan:
  1255. smh
  1256.  
  1257. Cyprien:
  1258. "Y-..you threw a firetruck..."
  1259.  
  1260. Journalist Girl:
  1261. "Well, usually Disruptions! But people are getting kinda used to that stuff, now... It used to be all the rage."
  1262.  
  1263. Breach:
  1264. "Yeah, everyone in this city is freaking weird. Did you see that billionaire and his truck??"
  1265.  
  1266. Deputy Dreyer:
  1267. "Just cause you don't get an Album doesn't mean you can't awaken to your Soul...or something like that. I don't claim to know how it works, man. Day one in our Trial, I punched out Godzilla, is all I know."
  1268. Breach: (( canon as fuck ))
  1269.  
  1270. Journalist Girl:
  1271. "Oh! You mean Victor Font!! What'd he do this time?!"
  1272.  
  1273. Cyprien:
  1274. "Hah, I killed a demon with a bike, I know the feeling."
  1275. Journalist Girl: (( it is canon agi ))
  1276. Journalist Girl: (( he did 295 damage in a single punch ))
  1277. Journalist Girl: (( bc velocity was weird. ))
  1278. Breach: (( this system is just minilocity ))
  1279.  
  1280. Deputy Dreyer:
  1281. "Oh yeah? Nice. So...you think your teammates'll come get you?"
  1282. Cyprien: (( Remember when Chase did like 700 damage to Sophia with spraypaint? ))
  1283. Morgan: (( we're leaving him ))
  1284.  
  1285. Journalist Girl:
  1286. he did a shit ton yeah
  1287. Journalist Girl: (( I remember when Catherim tazed Jet from like 20 yards away ))
  1288. Journalist Girl: (( and he just countered it and it did more damage to her than him ))
  1289.  
  1290. Cyprien:
  1291. "I probably don't deserve it...but they're good people, so as long as it's not taken as a confession...probably."
  1292.  
  1293. Morgan:
  1294. "Is attempting to mow down young people a normal occurrence for him?"
  1295. Journalist Girl: (( just grabbed the fuckin wires ))
  1296. Cyprien: (( My favorite Chloe move was when the ninja Scorpion Spear'd Sophia and I took it for her, so he swung me around and threw me through a window...but I took no damage from it, flew out the window and axe kicked him into the ground. ))
  1297. Morgan: (( that was all sexual tension between them ))
  1298.  
  1299. Journalist Girl:
  1300. "Yeah, he's pretty infamous around these parts! Hates the youth! Anyway! Let's make a deal! If you give me info on this tanned beauty, I'll help you out in return! I'll have you know, I've got lots of info myself, you don't know what you'd be missing out on!"

  1302. Morgan:
  1303. "What more could you possibly tell us?"
  1304. Morgan: (( oh god renee ))
  1305. Morgan: (( did u spin her around or did i just glitch ))
  1306. Breach: (( I spun idk why ))
  1307. Breach: (( For some reason I thought it was client-side only ))

  1317.  
  1318. Cyprien:
  1319. "...this Team R...are they trouble...?"
  1320.  
  1321. Breach:
  1322. "I'm sure she could tell us plenty! ...but, hold on. Just... drop this for now, 'right? Let me get your number."

  1327. Breach: (( Just got an idea ))
  1328.  
  1329. Deputy Dreyer:
  1330. "I think so. Something about them seems off... Well, I haven't seen any of their members, but the missions they put out, and the ones they take out, how they game the system... They're involved in some funny business, for sure."
  1331.  
  1332. Deputy Dreyer:

  1417.  
  1418. Morgan:

  1440. "Arrested! Naughty, naughty..." Skating around in a circle, she sings the word to herself a few times, before carrying on, "Or is this the usual for him??"
  1441.  
  1442. Igknight:
  1443. "Hell of a teammate you got there...Must be a tough one to look after."
  1444.  
  1445. Breach:
  1446. "He likes to get himself in trouble, for sure..."
  1447. Cyprien: (( Hey, notice I got y'all 300 points :V ))
  1448.  
  1449. Morgan:
  1450. "Always thought he was the do-gooder sort of type though."
  1451.  
  1452. Morgan:
  1453. "Didn't think trouble would be JAIL."
  1454.  
  1455. Deputy Dreyer:
  1456. "Yeah, I did. But...well, I think I'd like to keep that one in my pocket for a bit. But I'll tell you my real name. It's Ramiel... never liked it much, but it's pretty fitting, I think, given the circumstances."
  1457.  
  1458. Inc.blot:
  1459. "Well..." Inc.blot spreads his arms, grinning at you, "as the leader of Team Y, I extend my hand to you! I'd be a big help, I think, if you'd let me."
  1460. Cyprien: (( Alright then, keep your secrets. ))
  1461.  
  1462. Cyprien:
  1463. "It's been an enlightening experience, Ramiel, sir." He smiles at the officer, "We'll do Team X proud..."
  1464.  
  1465. Deputy Dreyer:
  1466. "Hah. I hope so. It's not possible for me, anymore... Well, I'll leave you to it. Enjoy your stay, I guess! Honestly, probably better than some of my first days here..."
  1467.  
  1468. Deputy Dreyer:
  1469. "My teammates were idiots. ..two of 'em, at least."
  1470.  
  1471. Cyprien:
  1472. "So that's why you were chasing the girls?"
  1473. Morgan: (( excuse me i was a genius ))
  1474.  
  1475. Deputy Dreyer:
  1476. you threw a dildo at me
  1477. Morgan: (( i stand by my statement ))
  1478.  
  1479. Deputy Dreyer:
  1480. or maybe you threw it at sophia, and SHE threw it at me.
  1481.  
  1482. Deputy Dreyer:
  1483. something like that.
  1484. Morgan: (( i think i threw it at her ))
  1485. Morgan: (( or the owner of it ))
  1486. Cyprien: (( Chloe wasn't an idiot. She was just bipolar :V ))
  1487.  
  1488. Deputy Dreyer:
  1489. "Hah...sorta. Truth be told, I think I just wanted what I couldn't get."
  1490.  
  1491. Deputy Dreyer:
  1492. "And then I ended up getting it. Funny how that worked out in the end."
  1493.  
  1494. Morgan:
  1495. "We'd appreciate your help!"
  1496. Cyprien: (( Stop talking to me about how you got laid Uncle Jetlag. ))
  1497.  
  1498. Morgan:
  1499. "... Are we..." Morgan turns to Renee. "... planning a jailbreak?"
  1500.  
  1501. Deputy Dreyer:
  1502. you would be to if you COULD.
  1503.  
  1504. Morgan:
  1505. and that kids is how i met ur mother
  1506.  
  1507. Eyesoar:
  1508. "A jailbreak! Yeah, are we planning one? I wanna, I wanna!"
  1509. Cyprien: (( And then he pulls out a gun and shoots me. ))
  1510.  
  1511. Morgan:
  1512. "Oh lord, I don't even know how to go about this!"
  1513.  
  1514. Igknight:
  1515. "Seems fun. I'd be in. Need a little time to prepare, I think..."
  1516.  
  1517. Morgan:
  1518. "If we knew where he was, couldn't you just grab him, Renee?"
  1519.  
  1520. Cyprien:
  1521. "Anyway, my apologies for keeping you..I should probably rest and recover in the meantime.."
  1522.  
  1523. Breach:
  1524. "Not by what I've tested so far."
  1525.  
  1526. Inc.blot:
  1527. "Oh? Grab him? Is that your ability? Come to think of it, you didn't seem surprised when I used Walled Garden."
  1528.  
  1529. Inc.blot:
  1530. "And I was hoping to shock you! Ahahaha..."
  1531.  
  1532. Breach:
  1533. "I was impressed! Does that count for something?"
  1534.  
  1535. Deputy Dreyer:
  1536. "I was the one who approached you. I'll leave you for now. If any of the guards give you shit, let me know. I won't stand for violence against prisoners... Er, as odd as that might sound, coming from me."
  1537.  
  1538. Cyprien:
  1539. "Right..thank you again, Mr. Ramiel.."
  1540.  
  1541. Breach:
  1542. "But yeah. I don't think we're scrounging up the... oh, that's a lot of zeros. Yeah. Bailing's not an option."
  1543.  
  1544. Morgan:
  1545. "That was very impressive! Although not much seems to surprise me here anymore."
  1546.  
  1547. Breach:
  1548. "So if not bail, then break."
  1549.  
  1550. Morgan:
  1551. "Man, even if we do get him out, we still have a fugitive."
  1552. Cyprien: (( Renee: Actually, we're pretty good on points...maybe we don't need him... ))
  1553.  
  1554. Inc.blot:
  1555. "Excellent! I've always wanted to try a jailbreak, is all."
  1556.  
  1557. Morgan:
  1558. "What if he just runs off and does some other ridiculous crime?"
  1559.  
  1560. Breach:
  1561. "Like we're planning to do?"
  1562. Cyprien: (( Honestly it's possible. Shit was fun. Got me brownie points with the cuties. ))
  1563.  
  1564. Morgan:
  1565. "Yeah, but we're not getting caught."
  1566.  
  1567. Breach:
  1568. "He'll have to do the same next time."
  1569. Cyprien: (( Bitch, like I thought I was getting caught. ))
  1570.  
  1571. Cyprien:
  1572. Also look at those shiny 300 points I got you
  1573.  
  1574. Morgan:
  1575. :eyes:
  1576. Cyprien: (( * ))
  1577.  
  1578. Deputy Dreyer:
  1579. The deputy leaves you alone, heading toward the other end of the hall. No sooner than he's gone, you hear a rapping at the wall of your cell
  1580.  
  1581. Morgan:
  1582. "Does anyone have any or know anyone with insider info on this jail?"
  1583.  
  1584. Eyesoar:
  1585. "It'd be real shameful to get caught twice! You think he'd let that happen??"
  1586.  
  1587. Cyprien:
  1588. Cy stares up at the ceiling; he notices the knock but doesn't think much of it
  1589.  
  1590. Imprisoned Girl:
  1591. "He's finally gone...your voice, I recognize it. Ahhh, is this what fate has in store for me..."
  1592.  
  1593. Igknight:
  1594. "Well, it was in that paper, right? We can look it up...should be able to find out where it is, easy."
  1595.  
  1596. Eyesoar:
  1597. "Heehee...ask Maggie! She oughta know! But will it be that simple?"
  1598.  
  1599. Morgan:
  1600. "Man, do we really wanna trade information with the public news system?"
  1601.  
  1602. Morgan:
  1603. "I can't believe people even read the papers in this world."
  1604.  
  1605. Igknight:
  1606. "Got any better ideas? My plan's to bust a hole in the wall, to be honest."
  1607.  
  1608. Inc.blot:
  1609. "Makes sense to me!"
  1610.  
  1611. Breach:
  1612. "She did say she was hungry a lot."
  1613.  
  1614. Eyesoar:
  1615. "There's no internet, no internet!"
  1616.  
  1617. Cyprien:
  1618. Cy picks up on the voice and approaches the wall, "That voice...you're the girl from before..the one with hood, right?"
  1619.  
  1620. Imprisoned Girl:
  1621. "Ah...he does remember... Why did you come here?"
  1622.  
  1623. Igknight:
  1624. "Well, how ya wanna go about this?"
  1625.  
  1626. Morgan:
  1627. "But there's... social media?" Morgan gets sidetracked for a second.
  1628.  
  1629. Morgan:
  1630. "You know, I haven't checked Twatter in a bit."
  1631.  
  1632. Morgan:
  1633. "ANYWAYS, uh, yeah, how do we go about this?"
  1634.  
  1635. Maggie:
  1636. on really slow weeks, i subsist off my papers' pulp!
  1637.  
  1638. Morgan:
  1639. omg.
  1640.  
  1641. Morgan:

  1643.  
  1644. Maggie:
  1645. it's okay, you get used to the taste after a while. if you soak em, you can get the ink out and it makes a really good sauce!
  1646.  
  1647. Morgan:
  1648. "I wonder if time is moving back home and people are wondering where we are.."
  1649.  
  1650. Morgan:
  1651. "I mean, disguises! What if we pretend our way to his cell?"
  1652.  
  1653. Cyprien:
  1654. "Ah, I'd love to say it was fate...more like bad decisions on my behalf..."
  1655.  
  1656. Eyesoar:
  1657. "Aha, that might work! Inc. can make 'em!"
  1658.  
  1659. Morgan:
  1660. "Really?"
  1661.  
  1662. Inc.blot:
  1663. "Ooh, yeah, I could! I'm good with a needle and cloth. But I can't do it at light speed, you'd need to pitch in."
  1664.  
  1665. Imprisoned Girl:
  1666. "But are they really your decisions...or are you following the path laid out for you? Is it truly our fault that we ended up in this state..."
  1667.  
  1668. Morgan:
  1669. is imprisoned girl igor
  1670.  
  1671. Imprisoned Girl:
  1672. with the birth of the Dumbass arcana...
  1673.  
  1674. Igknight:
  1675. Iggy elbows Renee, "What do you think? You've been quiet for a minute."
  1676.  
  1677. Igknight:
  1678. two minutes
  1679.  
  1680. Morgan:
  1681. "We should probably get masks for the getaway too."
  1682. Morgan: (( agi died ))
  1683.  
  1684. Morgan:
  1685. ;-;
  1686.  
  1687. Cyprien:
  1688. "Ah..." Cy sighs, "I'd love to say it wasn't my fault, but I feel like that wouldn't be fair.." He sits down against the far wall. "Have you been alright..?"
  1689.  
  1690. Imprisoned Girl:
  1691. "I'm as good as the world intends me to be... It might be better this way."
  1692.  
  1693. Eyesoar:
  1694. "Masks? Can do!"
  1695.  
  1696. Igknight:
  1697. "I don't think he was talking about you... Masks, huh? Guess we should look into that."
  1698.  
  1699. Inc.blot:
  1700. We should prolley end it here since Agi passed tf out lol
  1701.  
  1702. Morgan:
  1703. "I just want to hide our faces somehow. Don't want to bring any more attention than we have to once we break Cy out."
  1704.  
  1705. Morgan:
