  1. [2015-11-03 21:30:07] <Antioch|GM> The Auswahlen fight came and went, and left you on the sidelines.
  2. [2015-11-03 21:30:59] <Antioch|GM> You heard about the meeting of capes both villain and rogue far too late after the fact, even Jiangjun declining to inform you of the event.
  3. [2015-11-03 21:31:39] <Antioch|GM> Drinking yourself into a stupor, you missed the 14K's blitzkrieg raid on the already-damaged PRT prison.
  4. [2015-11-03 21:32:42] <Antioch|GM> Now you're sitting in the apartment, slightly hungover, feeling for all the world as if the city and its occupants had, as a whole, left you behind as you slept. ||
  5. [2015-11-03 21:34:03] <Firlz|Khandhas> ...
  6. [2015-11-03 21:36:55] <Firlz|Khandhas> It was strange, not even a week ago I was arguably in the thick of the biggest plots and conspiracies in the city, finding out info on 14k, getting the PRT info on the Devils for a huge bust, fighting and winning against two auswahlen capes and helping Huangtian. Then somehow I managed to miss the biggest fights in who knows how long while looking
  7. [2015-11-03 21:36:56] <Firlz|Khandhas> for weapons and armor. Seriously, could everyone have BEEN less considerate?
  8. [2015-11-03 21:39:03] <Firlz|Khandhas> Now what the fuck am I supposed to do? With the PRT getting kicked in the teeth, there's no chance they'll be in any shape to mess with Borgata or Blackjack anytime soon. Heck, it would be just appropriate if the entirety of 14k managed to get themselves captured or killed in the last few hours...
  9. [2015-11-03 21:40:31] <Firlz|Khandhas> No, too many people.
  10. [2015-11-03 21:41:42] <Firlz|Khandhas> There's no news of a max exodus of the Chinese population from the area the main base is as far as I can tell. If 14k just stuck out its neck to accomplish some goal at the PRT, then now might be the weakest they've been since they got here.
  11. [2015-11-03 21:43:02] <Firlz|Khandhas> This isn't the time to be sitting back and moaning, it's time to plan to excise that cancer from the city once and for all. It's practically Huangtian's mission to get rid of the 14k for good.
  12. [2015-11-03 21:45:07] <Firlz|Khandhas> Grabbing something to fill my stomach I get dressed in my biker's outfit and head towards Huangtian territory. Best to find out what I can about whatever happened, and help plan an ousting of whatever is left of those cultists.||
  13. [2015-11-03 21:47:11] <Antioch|GM> The Huangtian's territory is uncharacteristically silent. You see teens and young adults in their yellow bandannas from time to time, but none of the capes.
  14. [2015-11-03 21:48:14] <Antioch|GM> Jiangjun's loft hideout above the Vietnamese place is empty as well, littered with stacks of paper and half-finished bowls of noodles. ||

  17. [2015-11-03 21:53:05] <Firlz|Khandhas> What in the world? Jiangjun and his capes didn't manage to get themselves offed in the fights did they? I head out and walk up to one of the teens. "Jiangjun and the others, where are they?"||
  18. [2015-11-03 21:54:34] <Antioch|GM> The teen shifts his feet awkwardly, initially reluctant to answer, but responds after a moment's hesitation - "We, uh, haven't seen them since the Auswahlen fight." ||
  19. [2015-11-03 21:55:35] <Firlz|Khandhas> Shit, that can't be good. They couldn't have gotten themselves captured or killed could they?
  20. [2015-11-03 21:55:47] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Thanks"
  21. [2015-11-03 21:56:58] <Firlz|Khandhas> I make my way over towards the PRT to try and see if I can pick up any signs of where they went or what happened during the fight... If they were taken by the 14k...
  22. [2015-11-03 21:57:37] <Firlz|Khandhas> Actually what if they were taken, would I go in and try to bust them out? I don't know.
  23. [2015-11-03 21:58:39] <Firlz|Khandhas> I've never been the most stable person, but JJ helped me get my head in the game at one of my low points. The least I can do is look.||
  24. [2015-11-03 22:00:01] <Antioch|GM> When you arrive at the PRT, you're turned away by a half-squad of PRT officers at the door.
  25. [2015-11-03 22:00:48] <Antioch|GM> They don't seem to recognize you, but one of them holds their hand out, palm-first, clearly stating, "Due to recent events, the PRT is not accepting visitors at this time. If your matter is urgent, please make an appointment by phone or email." ||
  26. [2015-11-03 22:03:10] <Firlz|Khandhas> I try to nonchalantly look around the surroundings for any sign of what happened. A lead to pick up. If not, then the next stop is chinatown to scope out what 14k's rank and file are up to.||
  27. [2015-11-03 22:06:29] <Antioch|GM> The cordon doesn't give you much to look at, but you can draw your own conclusions. Using unknown cape(s) held in reserve, the 14K orchestrated an attack on the PRT compound when various Protectorate members were attempting to assist in the Auswahlen fight. The aftermath of said attack has, thus far, remained undisclosed, but the 14K has a recorded
  28. [2015-11-03 22:06:29] <Antioch|GM> propensity for the abduction of capes, and the vulnerability in the prison created by the Dust Devils' breakout had only been partially repaired, as an emergency stopgap measure.
  29. [2015-11-03 22:08:41] <Antioch|GM> Whatever's happened here, the 14K's come and gone. Perhaps you'll find answers in their base, or thereabouts. ||
  30. [2015-11-03 22:10:55] <Firlz|Khandhas> With a destination in mind I head toward the base. Keeping an eye out for anything that might give a sign as to what in the world is going on.||

  33. [2015-11-03 22:17:57] <Antioch|GM> The general populace of Asia Plaza seems unchanged, people going about their daily lives as usual.
  34. [2015-11-03 22:19:00] <Antioch|GM> There's a distinct lack of guards or 'dealers' as you scan the area, however, and more than once you catch a glimpse of someone clearly Caucasian within the crowd. The first time, you dismiss it as a coincidence, but after the third, you feel as if something's out of place.

  37. [2015-11-03 22:25:02] <Firlz|Khandhas> Deciding that heading directly for the source is the best bet, I make my way towards the building I entered soon after making it to Cleveland. Everything I've done in this town started there. Somehow, irrationally, I felt that I would get answers going back there.||

  39. [2015-11-03 22:29:07] <Antioch|GM> You find the building from memory, pushing aside brief feelings of nostalgia as you move with purpose. The register is unmanned, no enforcers in sight within the vicinity of the building. ||
  40. [2015-11-03 22:30:55] <Firlz|Khandhas> I split, leaving one self outside as an escape measure while we head deeper. One self stays in the room with the register to try and look for any sign of what happened, scuffing, footprints, anything that might tell me if people went deeper inside or elsewhere.||
  41. [2015-11-03 22:34:21] <Antioch|GM> ((Investigate check again.))
  42. [2015-11-03 22:37:35] <Antioch|GM> The shop is dusty, as is to be expected of a store that primarily deals in antiques.
  43. [2015-11-03 22:37:52] <Antioch|GM> Your investigation doesn't turn up much, but at least there's no sign of a scuffle.
  44. [2015-11-03 22:38:48] <Antioch|GM> Having exhausted your options upstairs, you head down through the set of narrow stairs. Past the door you can hear a faint hubbub, not only chatter in a foreign tongue but as well as the clatter of movement. ||
  45. [2015-11-03 22:40:37] <Firlz|Khandhas> The self in the lead just opens the door and heads inside. At this point I'm going to assume that this is a rescue mission, which means sending in a self to get the lay of the inside is the first step.||
  46. [2015-11-03 22:43:50] <Antioch|GM> The interior of the complex looks somewhat different than the last time you saw it, though that could merely be the fact that all of the more civilian-looking occupants are nowhere to be seen, thugs and enforcers being the sole occupying force within. Out of place as you are, it takes little time for one of the henchmen to notice your presence (and lack of
  47. [2015-11-03 22:43:50] <Antioch|GM> Oriental features), shouting "Hey!" and drawing attention to your posse of clones. ||
  48. [2015-11-03 22:48:09] <Firlz|Khandhas> The clone left behind just in case gets in position to bolt towards the bike and get out of dodge, the others take position and get ready to fight, the one opening the door looking around the room to get a bead on where everyone is and locating anything that looks like it might be usable as a weapon. Two others rush the nearest thug while the fourt

  50. [2015-11-03 22:50:11] <Antioch|GM> A cry of "Chaoji" carries through the room, a couple of the thugs advancing on you with chains, knives, pipes, and the like.

  52. [2015-11-03 22:51:22] <Antioch|GM> A cry of "Qinru" carries through the room, a couple of the thugs advancing on you with chains, knives, pipes, and the like.
  53. [2015-11-03 22:54:09] <Antioch|GM> You realize your clones' lifespans are drastically limited, scanning the room for as much information as possible.
  54. [2015-11-03 22:56:06] <Antioch|GM> A chair presents itself as the only likely option for a weapon, and past the crowd of gang members you can see some men escorting what is almost certainly a prisoner, given the bindings and sack obscuring the head.
  55. [2015-11-03 22:56:40] <Antioch|GM> ((Roll two Brawl and two Dodge, if you please.))

  57. [2015-11-03 22:58:46] <Antioch|GM> A crowbar smashes into one clone, which promptly vanishes, while the other actually manages to duck under a few blows, striking one of the thugs in the knee, sending them off-balance. ||
  58. [2015-11-03 23:01:06] <Firlz|Khandhas> The clone that stood back a bit rushes to the prisoner, looking to dislodge them from the captives and remove the head covering in the process, while the self which opened the door goes for the chair to try and make some room and stall for time. The self which managed a hit presses the advantage trying to knock that thug down entirely.||
  59. [2015-11-03 23:03:51] <Antioch|GM> ((One Brawn, one Athletics, two dodge checks.))
  60. [2015-11-03 23:07:45] <Antioch|GM> Your clone in the midst of the melee presses the situation to his advantage - throwing his full weight into the man he knocked off balance, both of them sprawl to the floor, and the downed thug serves as a meatshield from the rest of the attackers.
  61. [2015-11-03 23:09:38] <Antioch|GM> Another clone rushes towards the prisoner, leaping over tables and chairs - as more henchmen move to intercept him, the clone with the chair rushes in as well, legs of the chair held forward like prongs, bulling towards them to buy the first enough time to reach the prisoner - a final leap, and the clone reaches his destination, tearing the hood off the
  62. [2015-11-03 23:09:38] <Antioch|GM> prisoner and breaking the grip of one of the two captors in the process - and the clone with the chair is dissipated by a violent blow to the head. ||
  63. [2015-11-03 23:14:29] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((Is the meatshield still conscious at this point as far as we can tell?))
  64. [2015-11-03 23:17:40] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((my current mental plan is to use him as an ACTUAL shield while the clone "under" him moves to support uncovering-the-bag-head self. But if that isn't feasible I'll do something else instead.))
  65. [2015-11-03 23:17:57] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((Actually, also can I wits check to see if the guy whose head I uncovered is even conscious?))
  66. [2015-11-03 23:21:21] <Antioch|GM> ((Meatshield is still conscious, but prone. Might be tough to maneuver that clone to the prisoner area, though.))
  67. [2015-11-03 23:21:30] <Antioch|GM> ((The prisoner is conscious, but haggard, and female.))

  69. [2015-11-03 23:25:36] <Firlz|Khandhas> The self with the downed thug tries to effectively get behind him in a choke or grapple to keep any incoming hits on the thug and not the clone.||

  71. [2015-11-03 23:31:15] <Antioch|GM> Pulling the downed gangster into a chokehold, your clone is able to twist him into position, ducking low and half-suplexing him to intercept the swing of a heavy pipe meant for your head - the meaty thunk as it strikes the man's temple reverberates into your arms.

[2015-11-03 23:34:00] <Antioch|GM> As your prisoner-freeing clone turns, using the momentum of the first blow to follow into the second captor, she tears from their grip as your punch finds the gut of the other man - she leaps back, arms still tied, shouting 'duck!' as you finish executing the blow.
  75. [2015-11-03 23:34:20] <Antioch|GM> Instinctively, you respond - feeling the swish of a baseball bat centimeters above your head. ||

  78. [2015-11-06 18:48:16] <Antioch|GM> As you complete your dodge, the clone freeing the prisoner breaks off into a hallway, further into the compound.
  79. [2015-11-06 18:49:45] <Antioch|GM> The hallway ends, turning left, but as you turn the corner, you feel the subconscious sense of your "hive mind's" range, leaving your clone unable to progress, lest it dispel, or worse, dispel the safeguard aboveground.
  80. [2015-11-06 18:50:31] <Antioch|GM> The other clone manages to maneuver the thug, back against the wall and the thug interposed between any oncoming attacks, wrestling them back and forth as they struggle, arms pinned, to break the hold. ||

  86. [2015-11-06 19:10:36] <Antioch|GM> Your clone has enough strength to him to heft the unconscious thug, maneuvering him back and forth to deflect blows. The surrounding gangsters are more cautious, however, a faint susurrus of Mandarin whispered amidst the group, and they stay still, encircling you, bats, pipes and knives pointed at you.

  89. [2015-11-06 19:12:01] <Antioch|GM> Aboveground, one of your selves maneuvers into a position to allow the 'center' of your mind to shift.
  90. [2015-11-06 19:12:40] <Antioch|GM> As you reach your destination, stopping in place, you realize that the vague sensation of your area of control continues to distort, the hallway clone still dangerously close to the perimeter. ||
  91. [2015-11-06 19:14:29] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((can I get a description of what the underground clone "sees", and how well it comports with my previous experience at looking at the labyrinth? Par of my worry was that the shaker setting this up might have collapsed it or something))
  92. [2015-11-06 19:16:52] <Antioch|GM> The visual aesthetic of the hallways are the same as you recall, featureless and near-pristine, but your initial foray into the complex was shallow, and the layout is unfamiliar to you where you stand.
  93. [2015-11-06 19:17:23] <Antioch|GM> Despite your stillness, the area of your control still seems to shift, and your clone in the hall is forced to backtrack several meters in order to remain intact. ||

  96. [2015-11-06 19:28:10] <Firlz|Khandhas> The clone deep in turns around to head back to the room we first found the the thugs, taking out and throwing his knife to distract the Thug, and either slip past using the distraction, or follow up with a hit if it looks opportune.

  100. [2015-11-06 19:35:30] <Antioch|GM> The pursuing thug pauses to dodge the thrown knife, putting him off balance as you rush past him, using the momentum of your dash to shove him to the ground.
  101. [2015-11-06 19:36:22] <Antioch|GM> The clone holding the thug leans in, plowing through the crowd, bulldozing through with the meatshield.
  102. [2015-11-06 19:37:04] <Antioch|GM> The first two thugs, not quite in your path, are knocked or brushed aside, but they perceive it as a gambit to escape, and the thugs pile onto you en masse, dragging you down with sheer weight.
  103. [2015-11-06 19:37:47] <Antioch|GM> Objective nonetheless completed - the prisoner runs past the crowd of diminished gang members, most of them now piled atop you, juking and weaving through the scant few that remain.
  104. [2015-11-06 19:38:42] <Antioch|GM> Aboveground, your clone is hurriedly trying to reposition, and you realize the reason for the continuous distortion of your area of control - the geometry of the interior is shifting. ||
  105. [2015-11-06 19:42:11] <Firlz|Khandhas> Deep Inside continues to try and make it back towards the room, if necessary popping himself to end the effect if it looks like whatever is messing with stuff is going to risk Aboveground. Dogpile does what he can to reposition within the pile to make sure any attempts to strike him with blows hit other Thugs, or the meatshield instead of himself,
  106. [2015-11-06 19:42:12] <Firlz|Khandhas> with the intent of buying time for the girl. Aboveground continues to reposition himself so that none of them pop, while trying to make his way generally towards the original entrance in order to keep an eye out for the girl.||
  107. [2015-11-06 19:43:26] <Antioch|GM> ((Three ath rolls, if you please.))
  108. [2015-11-06 19:46:58] <Antioch|GM> The clone in the labyrinthine hallways quickly emerges back in the main room, as the (former) prisoner makes a break for it, almost home free, headed for the direction you came in from - she selects from a number of doors or hallways without hesitation.
  109. [2015-11-06 19:48:03] <Antioch|GM> Aboveground, you manage to shift position enough to where none of your bodies are at risk of dispelling - made far easier by the fact that the dogpiled clone, unable to move under all of the weight, has been crushed into nonexistence. ||
  110. [2015-11-06 19:49:49] <Firlz|Khandhas> Deep attempts to sprint through the room to follow after the girl and slam the door shut behind him to slow pursuit, between obstacles like that and the fact that the thugs more or less need to get up from a pile on the floor should hopefully buy her enough time to escape. Aboveground makes his way to the entrance to look for the girl and direct he

  112. [2015-11-06 19:53:06] <Antioch|GM> Your clone aboveground returns to the junk shop, hoping to catch the girl as she leaves.
  113. [2015-11-06 19:53:49] <Antioch|GM> The exterior of the shop, however, has three suited men, clearly Caucasian, standing outside - not blocking the entrance, but giving the definite impression of guarding it.
  114. [2015-11-06 19:54:52] <Antioch|GM> The last remaining underground clone is unable to proceed, the dogpiling thugs now picking themselves back up, forming an accidental screen, while the remaining gangsters chase the escapee out of the complex. ||

Khandhas's winning fights have all been when he's made best use of his ability to call in more muscle when his power amps back up. Depending how long it takes the girl to make it up to the front, it's possible he could squeak out enough time to recha
  117. [2015-11-06 20:06:06] <Firlz|Khandhas> rge fully, or at least create a distraction to buy the remaining time. Every time he decides not to cut his losses he manages to fuck things up, and every time he leverages his power to its fullest he more or less succeeds. In order to do that he needs to be willing to let go if things take a turn south. He decided to try and rescue the girl on a w
  118. [2015-11-06 20:06:06] <Firlz|Khandhas> him, and knowing that the inside of the 14K base messes with his power Khandhas will need a lot more firepower if he wants to actually uproot these guys for good.
  119. [2015-11-06 20:08:35] <Firlz|Khandhas> If he can save her, he will. If not... He'll just have to come back to hit much harder the next time. Between Wink, Haddon, or even trying to trade for Borgata's assistance there's no shortage of people he could try to get to help him rid this city of this awful cult.
  120. [2015-11-06 20:08:35] <Antioch|GM> The underground clone pops and you start counting down the time under your breath, as you examine the three suits outside the building.
  121. [2015-11-06 20:08:48] <Firlz|Khandhas> ||
  122. [2015-11-06 20:09:13] <Antioch|GM> Twelve seconds in, your countdown gets thrown off by the phone buzzing in your pocket. ||
  123. [2015-11-06 20:09:51] <Firlz|Khandhas> Moving away from the guards and out of sight Khandhas picks it up "Hello?"||
  124. [2015-11-06 20:15:35] <Antioch|GM> "Y'know, having a Thinker power that gives me your phone number is completely useless when duplicated phones /don't work/." The voice on the other end is chiding, laughing, distanced from the gravity of the situation, but haggard, barely concealed exhaustion in every word. Jiangjun. ||
  125. [2015-11-06 20:18:49] <Firlz|Khandhas> Amazingly relieved to hear his voice Khandhas moves further from the entrance so he can talk. His first objective coming here was to rescue JJ, the girl will just have to wait. "I'd laugh at the fact that your thinker power also decided you should call me during the only half-hour so far today it HAS been duplicated. Do I need to head back in there
  126. [2015-11-06 20:18:49] <Firlz|Khandhas> and stir more shit up, or did you get to safety?"||
  127. [2015-11-06 20:20:31] <Antioch|GM> "I called you at the first available opportunity," he says, laughing ever so slightly. "I didn't see it coming, but the Borgata had a guy on the inside, managed to orchestrate busting me out."
  128. [2015-11-06 20:20:37] <Antioch|GM> "... wait a second. Head back in there?" ||
  129. [2015-11-06 20:24:17] <Firlz|Khandhas> If he was already out, then that means he wasn't inside? Crap. "Uh, couldn't find you. Assumed 14K got you. Went to the shop I knew led to their underground base, got a bit inside before encountering thugs... " Pausing for a moment wanting to facepalm "I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume they never actually took you back to a holding cell or anyt
  130. [2015-11-06 20:24:17] <Firlz|Khandhas> hing? I'm standing outside the junkshop that leads to their base, last of my clones just popped trying to help some captive girl escape."||
  131. [2015-11-06 20:27:37] <Antioch|GM> "Oh, no, I was in there about three hours ago, haha. You just got there a touch late."
  132. [2015-11-06 20:27:48] <Antioch|GM> "All of those capes they grabbed, turned into prisoners?"
  133. [2015-11-06 20:28:06] <Antioch|GM> "They figured, with Auswahlen out of the way, the heat was gonna be on them, so they decided to cut and run."
  134. [2015-11-06 20:28:26] <Antioch|GM> "I was on the same convoy as the mole, and he pulled some, heh, strings, got me out scot-free." ||
  135. [2015-11-06 20:33:22] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Well, it's good to know you're okay" Khandhas makes his way entirely away from the building and back towards his bike, looking out for any of the thugs trying to follow him. Sorry girl, but you'll just have to wait for another day. "You need any help? I should be getting back to my bike any minute now that I don't need to stick around to press the
  136. [2015-11-06 20:33:22] <Firlz|Khandhas> assault on these guys." Khandhas keeps his voice low to ensure nobody can hear him, doing his best to look like just another person on his phone when he needs to be seen at all.||
  137. [2015-11-06 20:39:29] <Antioch|GM> "Not right this moment," he says, "but swing by sometime, yeah? Even if the Borgata lucks out, hits the other three convoys without a hitch, and busts the rest of the Huangtian out, I got a feeling the group as a whole ain't stickin' around, 'least not the way it is now."
  138. [2015-11-06 20:39:51] <Antioch|GM> "Hell, half the reason we started up was 'cause of the goddamn 14K."
  139. [2015-11-06 20:40:09] <Antioch|GM> "Eh, I'll think about it later," he says, in between yawns.
  140. [2015-11-06 20:40:18] <Antioch|GM> "I'm sure I'll figure something out." ||
  141. [2015-11-06 20:42:44] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Got deets on where the other convoys are? If I rush I might be able to catch up, if I can pick up some firepower on the way I might even be able to actually help."||
  142. [2015-11-06 20:47:09] <Antioch|GM> "They got to me about an hour and a half ago near city limits - whatever's happened, happened. Don't sweat it, pal."
  143. [2015-11-06 20:48:32] <Antioch|GM> The conversation is briefly punctuated by the female prisoner sprinting out of the shop, barreling into the three suits - "dontshootmeimnotwiththe14klookseeimtotallywhite—" - and then pausing, doubled over, panting for breath.
  144. [2015-11-06 20:48:44] <Antioch|GM> The three suits head into the shop, dismissing her. ||
  145. [2015-11-06 20:49:09] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((can I feel whether my power's returned?))
  146. [2015-11-06 20:49:16] <Antioch|GM> ((Yep, it's back.))
  147. [2015-11-06 20:52:26] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Ah, gimme a sec" Khandhas tosses the phone in the air and splits, the four extra bodies rushing back towards the 14K building while the fifth catches the phone and continues talking. "Looks like captive girl nearly made it out. Any idea why 14K has a bunch of white enforcers?"||
  148. [2015-11-06 20:52:58] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((phone self follows, but more or less sedately, staying out of the way, but close enough to ensure no risk of popping))
  149. [2015-11-06 20:56:16] <Antioch|GM> You snatch the phone out midair, and Jiangjun responds - "That's Borgata, you goon! They must have sent some over to clean out the base, wipe up stragglers."
  150. [2015-11-06 20:56:54] <Antioch|GM> As your bodies approach the store, you hear gunfire from the vicinity of the stairs, while the girl on the other side of the street is still panting, inhaling huge gulps of air. ||
  151. [2015-11-06 20:58:04] <Firlz|Khandhas> ((can we tell whether the girl looks okay? now that she's outside other than being winded?))
  152. [2015-11-06 20:58:30] <Antioch|GM> She looks somewhat emaciated, but no visible injuries mark her. ||

  154. [2015-11-06 21:04:31] <Firlz|Khandhas> Phone self mumbles "Seriously, I take ONE day off and everything and its mother sets itself in motion." the other four split into two groups of two, one pair heading over to the girl to make sure she's okay, while the other pair heads to the Borgata thugs slowly and nonaggressively, looking for a moment to try and converse with them to see if they
  155. [2015-11-06 21:04:31] <Firlz|Khandhas> can use any help.||
  156. [2015-11-06 21:10:33] <Antioch|GM> The Borgata thugs have steadily made their way downstairs. A few thugs lie on the stairs, shot, though only a handful amongst them bear lethal wounds.
  157. [2015-11-06 21:11:03] <Antioch|GM> Among the Borgata is an Oriental man, clearly on their side, unnoticed at first, blending in.
  158. [2015-11-06 21:11:22] <Antioch|GM> He addresses the fleeing thugs, belting out rapid-fire Chinese you can't understand.
  159. [2015-11-06 21:12:03] <Antioch|GM> "在座的各位都被欺骗了！你以为十四K真的打算帮助你吗？他们使用你！你用获取权力的样板！放下你的武器。这是你唯一的警告。"
  160. [2015-11-06 21:12:41] <Antioch|GM> It's hard to catch what was said, especially when you know nothing of the language, but you could have sworn you heard "Yàngbǎn" mixed in there, in the middle.
  161. [2015-11-06 21:13:11] <Antioch|GM> He holds out his arm, stopping the Borgata suits from going any further.
  162. [2015-11-06 21:14:01] <Antioch|GM> "They have some sort of labyrinth Shaker," he hisses. "They got their warning, now let's head out before they decide we don't particularly feel like seeing the light of day again."
  163. [2015-11-06 21:14:27] <Antioch|GM> Back outside, the girl is still catching her breath, but seems to recognize the clones. "Th-thank you," she wheezes between gasps. ||
  164. [2015-11-06 21:20:20] <Firlz|Khandhas> A couple clones go inside to see if they can help the downed Borgata making slow deliberate motions and asking "Are you okay, anything we can do to help?". The one outside speaks to the girl "Do you have a safe place to go back to? We can give you a lift." Thinking for a moment, if she doesn't have a place the safest bet is likely Haddon, as they'
  165. [2015-11-06 21:20:20] <Firlz|Khandhas> re more or less neutral. Phone self responds to JJ's last comment "Looks like they aren't minding me, though it also looks like they aren't going much further because of 14k's shaker. You want me to talk to the various factions to try and arrange a strike and try to overwhelm their cape's power? I know BlackJack is not fond of them, and Borgata is
  166. [2015-11-06 21:20:20] <Firlz|Khandhas> right here."||
  167. [2015-11-06 21:20:58] <Antioch|GM> "What they had to do in town, it's over," Jiangjun responds.
  168. [2015-11-06 21:21:22] <Antioch|GM> "And besides," - you swear you can hear a smirk on the other end of the line - "Guzhang's dead, after all."
  169. [2015-11-06 21:21:48] <Antioch|GM> "They'll crumble and die without us having to lift another finger. The Borgata got the message across well enough, I feel."
  170. [2015-11-06 21:22:20] <Antioch|GM> The girl, declining to respond verbally, nods, accepting a ride.
  171. [2015-11-06 21:22:38] <Antioch|GM> ||
  172. [2015-11-06 21:26:43] <Firlz|Khandhas> The selves inside dispel while the two with the girl help her towards Phone self, and the bike generally. "I trust your judgment on this, you've been fighting these guys longer than I have. But from what I've seen of the 'members'... I worry that the 14K is more of a cancer or a rot than an enemy. If you don't burn it out entirely, it'll just stay
  173. [2015-11-06 21:26:43] <Firlz|Khandhas> dormant until someone else comes in to flare it back up. Get a good rest and give me a call when you want to meet up." Unless JJ has something else particular to say, Phone Self is getting ready to hang up.||
  174. [2015-11-06 21:27:54] <Antioch|GM> "Later, Khan. Sorry for cutting this short, but I'm hittin' the sack."
  175. [2015-11-06 21:28:45] <Antioch|GM> The line goes dead, and the girl accepts your help, leaning on the shoulders of two clones. ||
  176. [2015-11-06 21:32:03] <Firlz|Khandhas> Phone Self puts the phone in his pocket, letting the girl use him for support while the other two clones dismiss themselves where she can't see it. "so, where to, miss....?"||
  177. [2015-11-06 21:32:39] <Antioch|GM> She pauses, seemingly considering her options.
  178. [2015-11-06 21:32:46] <Antioch|GM> "... um..."
  179. [2015-11-06 21:32:53] <Antioch|GM> "... do you know where Blackjack is...?" ||
  180. [2015-11-06 21:36:05] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Yes." When we get to the bike I motion for her to sit.||
  181. [2015-11-06 21:43:39] <Antioch|GM> She sits on the back of the bike, leaning into position.
  182. [2015-11-06 21:43:42] <Antioch|GM> "... got a helmet?" ||
  183. [2015-11-06 21:47:46] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Gimme a sec."
  184. [2015-11-06 21:51:36] <Firlz|Khandhas> Khandhas waits for his power to reset before making a single clone while out of her direct sight-line "This is gonna be an awkward ride for everyone." The clone takes off his helmet and passes it to the girl. "Bike wasn't meant to hold 3, but we'll just have to manage."||
  185. [2015-11-06 21:54:42] <Antioch|GM> It's a tight squeeze, but you manage to make it into Blackjack turf, coasting between Fairfax and Hough, the carnage of the Auswahlen attack evident - you have to slow down, maneuvering to avoid large, artificially-created potholes, chunks of rubble, shattered glass.
  186. [2015-11-06 21:55:04] <Antioch|GM> The girl whispers into your ear, barely audible over the wind as you drive, "... what happened...?" ||
  187. [2015-11-06 21:56:34] <Firlz|Khandhas> "How long you been captured? Might need a bit of setup to explain."||
  188. [2015-11-06 21:59:06] <Antioch|GM> "What... day is it?"
  189. [2015-11-06 21:59:20] <Antioch|GM> ((To preempt your question, it's Oct. 24.)) ||
  190. [2015-11-06 22:00:03] <Firlz|Khandhas> "October 24"||
  191. [2015-11-06 22:00:46] <Antioch|GM> "Oh, hell. Then it's been, what... a month and a half?" She shudders, but her voice is gaining in strength, volume. ||
  192. [2015-11-06 22:03:59] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Freakshow got new leadership, calling themselves Auswahlen. Apparently all the warring factions teamed up to fight them when they tried to invade the city. This is the aftermath."||
  193. [2015-11-06 22:04:20] <Antioch|GM> "You're tellin' me Freakshow did /this/?"
  194. [2015-11-06 22:04:29] <Antioch|GM> She sounds incredulous. ||
  195. [2015-11-06 22:05:46] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Darwin had some bullshit insane power, so, yeah."||
  196. [2015-11-06 22:06:24] <Antioch|GM> "... Darwin? Never heard of him."
  197. [2015-11-06 22:06:28] <Antioch|GM> She shakes her head.
  198. [2015-11-06 22:06:41] <Antioch|GM> "Whatever. What's happened's happened."
  199. [2015-11-06 22:06:48] <Antioch|GM> "... I hope Blackjack didn't get too fucked up." ||
  200. [2015-11-06 22:09:02] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Wink seems to have pulled them together pretty nicely. Apparently they were falling apart before then. So, they're probably better than they have been in a while."||
  201. [2015-11-06 22:11:01] <Antioch|GM> "... Wink?"
  202. [2015-11-06 22:11:09] <Antioch|GM> The name is obviously unfamiliar to her.
  203. [2015-11-06 22:11:14] <Antioch|GM> "What the fuck happened to Gambit?"
  204. [2015-11-06 22:11:20] <Antioch|GM> This is asked with more urgency. ||
  205. [2015-11-06 22:16:19] <Firlz|Khandhas> "No clue. Wink's the one who's been running the place since i've known. They'd more or less fallen apart before he picked up the pieces I think? I don't know of them really doing anything for a while since before I got here."||
  206. [2015-11-06 22:16:41] <Firlz|Khandhas> -||
  207. [2015-11-06 22:17:01] <Firlz|Khandhas> "You wanna stop by Haddon first, get some more info before we head straight to Blackjack?"||
  208. [2015-11-06 22:19:05] <Antioch|GM> She shakes her head vehemently. "No. I gotta find out what happened to the boss." ||
  209. [2015-11-06 22:20:15] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Gotcha. Sorry I don't have more for you."||
  210. [2015-11-06 22:20:32] <Antioch|GM> "Let's... let's just go see Blackjack, okay...?" ||
  211. [2015-11-06 22:23:45] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Sure. You want us to head in first and have you meet with the bossman? We've dealt with him before, so he should at least listen."||
  212. [2015-11-06 22:24:52] <Antioch|GM> "... y-yeah. Maybe this Wink guy's gonna have answers." ||
  213. [2015-11-06 22:28:34] <Firlz|Khandhas> We try to make smalltalk to keep her relatively calm and focused while we make our way to Blackjack's place.||
  214. [2015-11-06 22:29:45] <Antioch|GM> She's not particularly responsive to the idle chatter, now completely focused on approaching the new leader of Blackjack.
  215. [2015-11-06 22:30:16] <Antioch|GM> You arrive at the location you last met with Wink, a member of Blackjack sitting on the stoop of the house, taking slow drags of a cigarette. ||
  216. [2015-11-06 22:31:47] <Firlz|Khandhas> The self with his helmet still on shouts out to the man "Got a guest for the Bossman, mind finding Wink for us?"||
  217. [2015-11-06 22:32:16] <Antioch|GM> He nods, muttering, "Yeah, sure," slouching into the building.
  218. [2015-11-06 22:32:36] <Antioch|GM> A knock, two knocks on Wink's office.
  219. [2015-11-06 22:32:48] <Antioch|GM> "Two dudes and a lady on a motorbike are here to see ya," he says.
  220. [2015-11-06 22:33:19] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  221. [2015-11-06 22:33:21] <Antioch|GM> ((To note: this is the day after Maia and Dags came to see you.))
  222. [2015-11-06 22:37:22] <soulpelt|Wink> Wink looks up from his desk. "Oh really now?" He gets up from the desk, taking his handgun with him. He motions for Doubledown and Cwn to join him. "This should prove to be interesting."||
  223. [2015-11-06 22:40:47] <Antioch|GM> ((Cwn isn't around at this point, yet.))
  224. [2015-11-06 22:40:55] <Antioch|GM> ((This is three days after the Aus fight.))
  225. [2015-11-06 22:41:17] <soulpelt|Wink> ((ooooh okay. my bad))
  226. [2015-11-06 22:41:42] <soulpelt|Wink> ((Doubledown and Huey then. Both are told be on standby but ready to spring into action))
  227. [2015-11-06 22:41:54] <Antioch|GM> ((Got it.))
  228. [2015-11-06 22:42:33] <Antioch|GM> The door opens, a grizzled man in his mid-twenties with a five-o'clock shadow steps through.
  229. [2015-11-06 22:43:00] <Antioch|GM> Behind him, a man in a black mask, eyes closed, stylized teeth stark white and grinning.
  230. [2015-11-06 22:43:04] <Antioch|GM> And...
  231. [2015-11-06 22:43:11] <Antioch|GM> The girl snaps to attention, addressing the last.
  232. [2015-11-06 22:43:23] <Antioch|GM> "Doubledown! What the hell happened?"
  233. [2015-11-06 22:43:46] <Antioch|GM> "Where the hell is Gambit, who are these assholes?" She waves her arms vaguely at the other two. ||
  234. [2015-11-06 22:43:56] <Firlz|Khandhas> ...
  235. [2015-11-06 22:44:36] <Firlz|Khandhas> Khandhas Facepalms. "Wink, do us a favor and just humor her before shooting us please. Thanks."||
  236. [2015-11-06 22:44:47] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  237. [2015-11-06 22:45:56] <soulpelt|Wink> "Well considering she knows Doubledown I think perhaps explanations are in order. Doubledown if you would explain what happened? I suspect your word would be taken better than mine." Wink says shaking his head.||
  238. [2015-11-06 22:46:37] <Antioch|GM> "This guy's the new boss now, Val," he says, seeming somewhat uncomfortable at the situation.
  239. [2015-11-06 22:47:07] <Antioch|GM> "... and I still don't know where Gambit is. Trust me, I looked, and for you, too, until shit started hitting the fan."
  240. [2015-11-06 22:47:36] <Antioch|GM> "And if the boss wasn't where you were holed up all this time, then, well... I'm drawin' a blank."
  241. [2015-11-06 22:47:52] <Antioch|GM> He shrugs, looking less and less pleased with the situation.
  242. [2015-11-06 22:47:54] <Antioch|GM> "... sorry."
  243. [2015-11-06 22:48:46] <Antioch|GM> "For the rest'a you guys, that's Royal Flush. Part of the old crew. I'm guessin' the 14K was the reason for your, uh, extended absence?"
  244. [2015-11-06 22:49:08] <Antioch|GM> She nods, slightly put off. "There's gotta be a more tactful way to put it." ||

  247. [2015-11-06 22:50:57] <Firlz|Khandhas> "Can't say for sure whether Gambit was there too, honestly. Borgata might still be going through there... Or not? Their Shaker makes that place an obvious trap... But I doubt anyone is looking to spring it either."||
  248. [2015-11-06 22:52:13] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  249. [2015-11-06 22:55:38] <soulpelt|Wink> Winks eyes opened wide under his mask, mouth opening slightly. Suddenly who Maia was... this was Flush then... Oh that clever, clever girl. "I... think perhaps we should go inside to discuss things, Flush." He moved over to show the door. "Things have changed since your imprisonment by the 14K." He looked over the young woman. Oh he could rock Dag's world
  250. [2015-11-06 22:55:38] <soulpelt|Wink> with the info he just put together.....||
  251. [2015-11-06 22:56:46] <Antioch|GM> She hesitates, pausing warily for a moment, before following Wink inside, stepping over the threshold. After she enters, Doubledown follows suit. ||
  252. [2015-11-06 22:57:22] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  253. [2015-11-06 22:58:42] <soulpelt|Wink> "Thank you for bringing her, Khandhas, I owe you one." Wink says before entering, closing the door. Once inside he led Val to the kitchen, taking a seat. "First things first, what did Khandhas tell you on the way here?"||
  254. [2015-11-06 23:02:43] * Firlz|Khandhas is now known as Firlz
  255. [2015-11-06 23:04:14] <Antioch|GM> "... I missed a lot of shit that went down, apparently."
  256. [2015-11-06 23:04:26] <Antioch|GM> "Freakshow came back with a vengeance, or so I'm told...?" ||
  257. [2015-11-06 23:04:39] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  258. [2015-11-06 23:12:18] <soulpelt|Wink> "Freakshow, as I understand it, went to an outside group known Auswählen. They're an A-class threat group of 53's led by a Master named Darwin, who controls a single minion called Finch, who himself is a shapeshifter." He puts a hand to his hand. "Freakshow wanted revenge on the city, I'm guessing, Darwin wanted them to 'soften up' the place first. Me and
  259. [2015-11-06 23:12:18] <soulpelt|Wink> Guts killed two former Freakshow members. Quillhound and Sandstorm. Long story short, Auswählen attacked Cleveland I helped unite the various factions to fight them off. We lost three members, Guts lots his right arm and got a healthy dose of PTSD bur we drove them off." Wink ended his spiel, going quiet to wait for her reaction. "Sorry for the long winded
  260. [2015-11-06 23:12:18] <soulpelt|Wink> explanation, I like to get all the details out of the way."||
  261. [2015-11-06 23:12:46] <soulpelt|Wink> *hand to his chin
  262. [2015-11-06 23:14:16] <Antioch|GM> She nods.
  263. [2015-11-06 23:14:19] <Antioch|GM> "Goddamn."
  264. [2015-11-06 23:14:33] <Antioch|GM> "Wait, so, was Gambit already gone when you, uh, picked up the pieces?" ||
  265. [2015-11-06 23:15:31] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  266. [2015-11-06 23:20:34] <soulpelt|Wink> "Yes. He had been gone for a long while when I came to town and revived the gang." He shrugs. "I got Guts and DD then merely used my ability to never rest until I got the gang stabilized." He clears his throat. "What happened to you? When I was rebuilding the gang I looked for old members of Blackjack to see if they wanted to join up. You and Jack of Hearts
  267. [2015-11-06 23:20:34] <soulpelt|Wink> couldn't be found... however I think I know what happened to him since it happened to you too."||
  268. [2015-11-06 23:21:18] <Antioch|GM> "... he was there."
  269. [2015-11-06 23:21:53] <Antioch|GM> "He fought back, was a lot worse off. Last I saw he was being dragged off onto a van."
  270. [2015-11-06 23:22:06] <Antioch|GM> "... hope he's alright. Alright as he can be, given the circumstances." ||
  271. [2015-11-06 23:23:08] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  272. [2015-11-06 23:27:01] <soulpelt|Wink> Wink nods. "I'm sorry to hear that." He says honestly. "Since you've escaped them what will you do now? You're always welcome to join Blackjack." He looks outside. "However if you want to leave Cleveland I wouldn't blame you. Bad memories and all." He turns to face her again. "You can stay here if you can't decide."||
  273. [2015-11-06 23:29:30] <Antioch|GM> "Thanks for the offer, but..."
  274. [2015-11-06 23:29:39] <Antioch|GM> She falls silent, trying to find the right words.
  275. [2015-11-06 23:29:55] <Antioch|GM> "Things are different now. I'm different, the gang's different..."
  276. [2015-11-06 23:30:06] <Antioch|GM> "... if Gambit wasn't with the 14K, I'll just keep looking." ||
  277. [2015-11-06 23:30:20] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  278. [2015-11-06 23:35:34] <soulpelt|Wink> Wink is silent for a minute, as if trying to think of how to put it. "I... think I know where Gambit is. It hit me when you came along. See... I think perhaps Gambit is working for Haddon now, under the name Maia." He sighs. "Don't ask me how." He shakes his head.||
  279. [2015-11-06 23:36:00] <Antioch|GM> She stands up, stock still.
  280. [2015-11-06 23:36:48] <Antioch|GM> "I won't ask you how you know that," she says, almost faster than the words can come out of her mouth.
  281. [2015-11-06 23:37:58] <Antioch|GM> She strides out of the door, confident gait faltering into a full run, betraying the immediacy of her need to leave.
  282. [2015-11-06 23:38:15] <Antioch|GM> "Even so... thank you."
  283. [2015-11-06 23:38:26] <Firlz> ((If this whole conversation didn't take too long, it's possible she finds Khandhas before he bolts))
  284. [2015-11-06 23:38:30] <Antioch|GM> "Doubledown looks happy here."
  285. [2015-11-06 23:39:59] <Antioch|GM> She practically bolts out of the front door, catching Khandhas after dispelling a clone, putting on his helmet again to leave - without preamble, she leaps on the back of the bike - "takemetoHaddonplease." ||
  286. [2015-11-06 23:40:16] <soulpelt|Wink> ...
  287. [2015-11-06 23:41:59] <soulpelt|Wink> "Good luck, Flush. My offer is open if things don't go the way you wanted." Wink says watching her run off. He chuckles a bit under his mask, looking to Doubledown. "Glad you like it here big guy." He gets up and heads to the fridge. "I think I need a drink."||
  288. [2015-11-06 23:43:07] <Antioch|GM> ((You're up, Firlz))
  289. [2015-11-06 23:44:18] <Firlz> Glad he popped the clone who had its helmet on in the first place, Khandhas hands it to, Flush? and uses his shirt to mask his face again before going to Haddon. "Do I want to know why you changed your mind? When I offered earlier you seemed pretty dead-set on not wanting to go there." Khandhas talks over the sound of his bike.||
  290. [2015-11-06 23:44:27] <Firlz> (helmet off*)
  291. [2015-11-06 23:45:14] * Firlz is now known as Firlz|Khandhas
  292. [2015-11-06 23:45:25] <Antioch|GM> "If it comes up, I'll fill you in later, okay?"
  293. [2015-11-06 23:45:44] <Antioch|GM> "Go already!" She nudges you with her knee, sharply, to drive the point home. ||
  294. [2015-11-06 23:46:20] <Firlz|Khandhas> Deciding not to protest with the woman he does as she asks. Speeding towards HPIA.||
  295. [2015-11-06 23:48:05] <Antioch|GM> As you approach the agency, she catches your attention.
  296. [2015-11-06 23:48:20] <Antioch|GM> "Listen, if you ever need a favor, get in touch with me, yeah?"
  297. [2015-11-06 23:48:29] <Antioch|GM> "No phone at the moment, but we can figure something out."
  298. [2015-11-06 23:48:36] <Antioch|GM> Before you even slow down, pulling in front of the building, she leaps off of the bike, loping into a stumbling full spring with the bike's momentum propelling her forward, running directly into the building.
  299. [2015-11-06 23:48:53] <Antioch|GM> "Thanks again!" she shouts, just before she pulls the door open. ||
  300. [2015-11-06 23:49:44] <Firlz|Khandhas> "You want me to wait in case things don't go like you want here, too?" Khandhas shouts. He doesn't have much else to do today, and he might as well catch up with what's going on with Haddon lately.||
  301. [2015-11-06 23:50:29] <Antioch|GM> She doesn't respond, already disappeared past the door.
