- Proto_Lost: "You're not the only one kid, you know that."
- [5:09pm] Alivi: "So…you are going to help me…right...?"
- [5:09pm] Alivi: She is looking down.
- [5:10pm] Proto_Lost: "As much as I don't want to...the times have started to make it look like a necessity."
- [5:11pm] Alivi: "I know..."
- [5:17pm] ShockwaveLover: In his room, Duncan lays out all the firearms in his possession. Starting from smallest to largest, he gives them a thorough check and clean, running through firing sequences until he's satisfied that each gun is in the best shape he can make it.
- [5:17pm] Proto_Lost: "I'll need to update mine when we're done...so let's get to it I guess."
- [5:17pm] ShockwaveLover: Live ammunition is loaded, even in those normally left in his room.
- [5:18pm] Alivi: She nods. "Ok…" her voice is very soft.
- [5:20pm] Proto_Lost: "Lead the way, my daughter."
- [5:20pm] Alivi: She nods and walks to her room.
- [5:22pm] Proto_Lost: Simon follows after her, a feeling of sadness growing within him.
- [5:23pm] Alivi: She stops at the door, she doesn't look or even face him she opens the door and gestures for him to enter.
- [5:26pm] Proto_Lost: He follows her in, but not before leaving his shoes at the door.
- [5:26pm] ShockwaveLover: Whatever's coming won't find Duncan unprepared.
- [5:27pm] Alivi: She removes her shoes.
- [5:28pm] Alivi: And closes the door.
- [5:30pm] Proto_Lost: "...So what part of it do you need help with kid?"
- [5:30pm] Alivi: "I….don't know how..."
- [5:32pm] Alivi: "To write one..."
- [5:33pm] DrSavage left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [5:33pm] Proto_Lost: "I'm no lawyer kid, and I never gave much thought to mine...I just wrote down who should get what when I die."
- [5:35pm] Alivi: Eriko tears up.
- [5:35pm] Alivi: "I…..don't know…."
- [5:36pm] Alivi: "I'm such an idiot aren't I?"
- [5:37pm] Proto_Lost: Simon wipes a tear away. "No kid, you're not...if it were up to me, I'd never let you do this until you'd reached my age...I don't expect you to know about closing all your affairs on this Earth kid, you're far too young to even think about such things."
- [5:37pm] Proto_Lost: "You shouldn't be going through this kid, I'm the old man here, I'm the one who should be asking for your help."
- [5:38pm] Alivi: "I should've done this before…n-not now…."
- [5:38pm] Alivi: "I don't…t-think I will die though…y-you know? I-I'm just afraid…"
- [5:39pm] Proto_Lost: "Kid, this isn't something a dame like you should ever have to go through...and I'll make sure you make it kid, I promise you that."
- [5:43pm] Alivi: "…I don't want to lose anyone..."
- [5:44pm] Proto_Lost: "Me neither kid, I hope we can handle whatever this is."
- [5:47pm] Alivi: Eriko takes a breath.
- [5:47pm] Alivi: "I do not have much…most of my things…they are in Japan….and even then I no longer have access to them."
- [5:49pm] Proto_Lost: "...All I have left is what I have here on-site...nothing else."
- [5:51pm] Alivi: Eriko nods. "I have….some things given to me by my grandmother, some jewelry… clothes…. other objects….but nothing of real value."
- [5:51pm] Alivi: "I guess my Money…. should go to my Mom and Dad…"
- [5:52pm] Proto_Lost: "I could write it down kid...do you have any paper?"
- [5:54pm] Alivi: Eriko nods she gets a notebook and gives it to Simon.
- [5:55pm] Alivi: She motions to a chair near her desk.
- [5:55pm] Alivi: If he looks on the desk there seems to be assorted books
- [5:56pm] Proto_Lost: He heads over to the chair, and gives the stack of books a quick look...what are they?
- [5:57pm] Alivi: A harry potter book, a game of thrones book, some notebooks, and a blue book with Japanese writing on it.
- [6:04pm] Proto_Lost: He lifts the blue book gently. "What's this one?"

- [8:05pm] Alivi: Eriko looks over a hint of alarm crosses her face, "I….um…it…..it is something from home."
- [8:06pm] Proto_Lost: Simon turns the blue book over in his hands. "You mean like a keepsake?"
- [8:06pm] Alivi: "…yes..."
- [8:06pm] ShockwaveLover left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [8:07pm] Proto_Lost: "...Mind if I open it?"
- [8:07pm] Alivi: Eriko looks down. "If you…want…"
- [8:09pm] Proto_Lost: Simon lets out a soft sigh, and with some hesitation, he opens up the book.
- [8:12pm] Alivi: There is a picture of Eriko and a man and a woman. They are all smiling and Eriko is holding what appears to be a degree. She looks like it is a college graduation.
- [8:13pm] You left the chat by being disconnected from the server.
- [8:13pm] You reconnected to the server.
- [8:13pm] You rejoined the room.
- [8:14pm] Proto_Lost: Simon pauses at it. "Where'd you graduate kid?"
- [8:15pm] You left the chat by being disconnected from the server.
- [8:15pm] You reconnected to the server.
- [8:15pm] You rejoined the room.
- [8:15pm] Alivi: "University of Tokyo…." Eriko says softly.
- [8:17pm] Proto_Lost: Simon just smiles. "Must've been a good school if the Foundation picked you up." He keeps flipping through the album.
- [8:17pm] Alivi: "Top school for chemistry…"
- [8:18pm] Proto_Lost: "Did you really want to be a chemist?"
- [8:19pm] Alivi: "Yes…. chemistry is the basis of all science…. if you want to understand anything…Chemistry is a must..."
- [8:19pm] Alivi: She smiles a bit.
- [8:20pm] Proto_Lost: Simon just chuckles. "I understand guns just fine without chemistry...but point taken."
- [8:20pm] Alivi: As Simon flips through he can see various pictures from throughout her life. There is some of her as a child with her father and mother looking younger. A picture of her with a flower arrangement and an elderly lady smiling. A picture of Eriko at what might be a Japanese festival she looks to be 7-8 in the picture and is wearing a kimono and holding up a goldfish in a bag.
- [8:24pm] Alivi: They seem to be organized by her age.
- [8:24pm] Proto_Lost: Simon just smiles, feeling strangely left out and happy for her at the same time
- [8:25pm] Proto_Lost: He flips to a few pages before the end, the most recent pictures.
- [8:26pm] Alivi: There is a picture of her and her parents and grandmother again all dressed up. Seems to be a formal one.
- [8:27pm] Proto_Lost: "What's this one kid?"
- [8:28pm] Alivi: "Oh… that is just a formal family picture… we took it after my grandfather passed away…"
- [8:31pm] Alivi: Eriko moves over to look with Simon.
- [8:32pm] Proto_Lost: "Oh...Condolences for your loss." He flips a few pages back, somewhere between the grad pic and the family pic, if there're pages in -between them.
- [8:34pm] Alivi: There is another following it of her and some other girls. They are making peace signs and there is some doodles of hearts and stars having been made of the picture. It seems like it was from a photo booth. It seems heavily doctored. Close by is other photos of the girls all together. Shopping, Cafe, and other various activities.
- [8:34pm] Proto_Lost: He looks over to her. "Friends of yours?"
- [8:35pm] Alivi: Eriko smiles, "Aya, Kimiyo, Miki, and Satsuki."
- [8:35pm] Alivi: "We had been friends since high school..."
- [8:39pm] Proto_Lost: "Must've been pretty close then."
- [8:39pm] Alivi: "We were…."
- [8:41pm] Proto_Lost: Simon sighs. "Must've been rough when Kazuya let slip that you were assigned here."
- [8:42pm] Alivi: "They didn't join the Foundation..."
- [8:42pm] Proto_Lost: He looks up. "So...they don't know you're here?"
- [8:43pm] Alivi: She shakes her head.
- [8:43pm] Alivi: "They don't..."
- [8:43pm] Proto_Lost: Simon sighs, and flips to the end.
- [8:45pm] Alivi: There are pictures of her and a man. There is a happiness Simon has rarely seen on her face. He's seen some things close to that expression she is making. But together they look very happy.
- [8:47pm] Proto_Lost: "...I suppose this is Kazuya?"
- [8:47pm] Alivi: Eriko nods.
- [8:48pm] Proto_Lost: Simon feels an ache somewhere inside him, he knows that there's a very good chance that she's never going to be that happy ever again...not while she's in here. "I...I'm sorry kid."
- [8:48pm] Alivi: She leans back on the bed and looks at the ceiling. Simon can see other pictures including one where she is wearing a ring happily and some with her family. She was most likely at a safe site that allowed her to still have brief contact with her family.
- [8:52pm] Alivi: Either that or she wasn't in the foundation yet.
- [8:52pm] Proto_Lost: "...Kid, I think I'd give anything to have you sent back to when these were taken. I've never seen you this happy in here...and I don't think I ever will."
- [8:53pm] Alivi: "If he was so quick to do that….it wasn't real..."
- [8:54pm] Proto_Lost: Simon looks up, a bit surprised to hear that from her.
- [8:54pm] Alivi: "Right?"
- [8:55pm] Proto_Lost: "Yeah, I guess so...if it was real, he'd move heaven and hell, and hope beyond hope that you were still alive."
- [8:56pm] Alivi: Eriko doesn't look over, she takes a shaky breath.
- [8:56pm] Alivi: "It can happen again…I know it..."
- [8:58pm] Proto_Lost: Simon moves over to her, and puts a hand around her shoulders. "It will kid, just wait...out there is a lad tailor-made just to be with you. And he's wondering where you are now and what a dame like you is doing right this very moment."
- [9:00pm] You left the chat by being disconnected from the server.
- [9:00pm] You reconnected to the server.
- [9:00pm] You rejoined the room.
- [9:02pm] Alivi: "Really?"
- [9:02pm] Proto_Lost: "Yeah kid, he might be in Japan or some other site with hellbeasts in it, but I assure you he's out there."
- [9:03pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs.
- [9:08pm] Proto_Lost: "Now, why don't we finish up your will, then maybe you can help me with mine."
- [9:12pm] Alivi: "I don't want to…" her voice breaks a bit.
- [9:13pm] Proto_Lost: "...You don't want to do your will?"
- [9:14pm] Alivi: She covers her face with her hands. "Otousan… I don't want to die…."
- [9:15pm] Proto_Lost: He holds her in a tight hug. "I thought you'd keep going with making your will kid, I....I'm glad you don't want to."
- [9:15pm] Alivi: "I know I need to…but…" she breaks down. "I
- [9:15pm] Alivi: "I am so scared..."
- [9:17pm] Proto_Lost: "You're not alone kid...I've never been this scared of a fight my entire life...I don't think I can bear to lose another daughter."
- [9:18pm] Alivi: "This fight…it is in the far future no such thing..."
- [9:19pm] Proto_Lost: "This fight could be a month from now or next week, but I have a feeling that it'll come, and I hope that everything I have will be enough to protect you my daughter."
- [9:20pm] Alivi: Eriko closes her eyes.
- [9:21pm] Proto_Lost: Simon hugs her tight. "I...I don't want to lose you kid, you're my ray of sunshine, the one thing keeping me going."
- [9:25pm] Alivi: "Promise..."
- [9:25pm] Alivi: "That you won't die too..."
- [9:26pm] Proto_Lost: "I won't kid...the Reaper's going to have a hell of a fight on his hands when he comes to take me...I promise."

- [01:17am] NachtRuine joined the chat room.
- [01:18am] Mr_Wilt: "Come iiiin!"
- [01:19am] Alivi: Eriko enters. "Hello…" She gives a small smile.
- [01:22am] Mr_Wilt: "Hello, Eriko! What can I do for you"?
- [01:25am] Lurker is now known as Lurk_Out.
- [01:26am] Alivi: "Ah…we-well I wanted to give you something." She holds up a small bag. "I really hope you like it."
- [01:27am] Mr_Wilt: "Oh, interesting!" Charon takes the bag and looks inside.
- [01:28am] Alivi: It is a small plush toy of a white cat. It looks handmade.
- [01:30am] NullAshton joined the chat room.
- [01:30am] Mr_Wilt: "Ooooooh, Eriko! It's adorable! I love it."
- [01:31am] Alivi: "Really?!" Eriko smiles.
- [01:32am] Mr_Wilt: "Mhm! Thank you very much." He sets the small cat on a table.
- [01:34am] Alivi: "So have you been doing ok?"
- [01:35am] Mr_Wilt: "I have been! Thank you. And you?"
- [01:37am] TheRaven joined the chat room.

- [01:40am] Mr_Wilt: "I hear they've been trying to prevent people from going out to the Pool!"
- [01:43am] Alivi: "Really?! Even researchers?" Eriko seems surprised at this.
- [01:45am] Mr_Wilt: "I don't know the exact details."
- [01:46am] Alivi: "Have you tried?"
- [01:47am] Mr_Wilt: "I haven't!"
- [01:48am] Alivi: "Should we?"
- [01:48am] padri joined the chat room.
- [01:48am] TheRaven: Taggart is sitting around rec, drinking coffee.

- [01:51am] Roget: Ralph walks around the facility, eating a chocolate bar.
- [01:52am] padri: Magpie waltzes around her cell, wishing she had a chocolate bar.
- [01:52am] Roget: Ralph savors the chocolatey goodness
- [01:53am] padri: It's been a long time since she's practiced waltzing, so this challenge is providing quite a bit of entertainment.
- Alivi: "I mean….we are researchers right?"
- [01:54am] PhoneFox joined the chat room.
- [01:54am] Mr_Wilt: Charon shrugs. "I'm sure they have reasons, Eriko!"
- [01:55am] PhoneFox left the chat room. (Client exited)
- [01:56am] Alivi: "I know but…I am curious…" She has a sad smile on her face.
- [01:57am] padri: She trips on herself as one step confuses her.
- [01:58am] Mr_Wilt: "Curiosity killed the cat, as it were."
- [01:58am] Mr_Wilt: Mags gets a knock at her cell.
- [01:58am] padri: ~Does it go /one/ two three or /one/ two three . . .~
- [01:58am] Alivi: "But….it is not that bad! We discover things because of curiosity!"
- [01:59am] padri: She walks over to the door. "You're just in time! How's about helping me with the waltz? I'm having a bit of trouble with this bit . . ."
- [01:59am] Mr_Wilt: "Either waaay, Eriko."
- [01:59am] NachTF2 is now known as NachtRuine.
- [01:59am] Mr_Wilt: Rick opens up the door. "Hungry?"
- [01:59am] padri: "Yeah, sure, but is it /one/ two three like this, or /one/ two three like that?"
- [02:00am] padri: "Actually, it'd be a hell of a lot easier to figure out with a partner." She holds out a hand.
- [02:01am] Mr_Wilt: He looks at the hand, sighs, and steps in, taking it. "Aight, aight."
- [02:01am] NachtRuine: Zach walks into rec, schematic in one hand and his notebook in the other.
- [02:01am] padri: "You know how to waltz?"
- [02:02am] Roget: Ralph starts walkin' backwards
- [02:02am] Alivi: "Either way…. it might be good to know what is going on?" She says rather hopefully.
- [02:03am] TheRaven: "Hey Zach."
- [02:03am] Mr_Wilt: "You'll have to go alone, I'm afraid."
- [02:03am] Mr_Wilt: Rick shrugs. "You surprised?"
- [02:04am] NachtRuine: "Oh, hey Taggart. How's it going?" He doesn't sound as spry as he normally does.
- [02:04am] Mactavish joined the chat room.
- [02:05am] Mactavish left the chat room.
- [02:06am] padri: She shrugs. "Not much surprises me." Magpie clearly used to know how to waltz quite well.
- [02:06am] TheRaven: "Not bad, you?"
- [02:06am] NachtRuine: "I could be better."
- [02:07am] Alivi: Eriko sighs, "That is no fun..."
- [02:10am] Mr_Wilt: Rick takes the lead in their waltzing.
- [02:10am] Mr_Wilt: Charon shrugs. "I don't like getting in trouble. I'm punished more strictly than you are."
- [02:10am] Alivi: Eriko seems surprised, "Really? But why….you aren't bad at all..."
- [02:11am] padri: What's he got on him? Keys, gun, pda, radio . . . ?
- [02:12am] TheRaven: "What's up?"
- [02:12am] NachtRuine: "Just got a lot on my mind. Some of it I'd rather not think about." Zach flops onto a couch.
- [02:14am] Mr_Wilt: "Because I'm not human, of course."
- [02:14am] TheRaven: "Fair enough."
- [02:14am] Mr_Wilt: All of the above, Mags.
- [02:14am] padri: And didn't he leave the door open?
- [02:15am] Alivi: "That…isn't fair..."
- [02:15am] Mactavish joined the chat room.
- [02:17am] NachtRuine: "Been working on a change to my will. Eriko saw it and she got it in her head to make hers."
- [02:17am] Mr_Wilt: He did.
- [02:19am] padri: Can she judge how difficult it would be to steal the keys?
- [02:20am] TheRaven: "Oh. Well shit man, that sucks."
- [02:21am] NachtRuine: "I mean, it's good that she's thinking about it, but... She shouldn't have to."
- [02:22am] Mr_Wilt: She can't be certain how much attention he's paying, no.
- [02:23am] Mactavish left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
- [02:25am] Roget: Ralph strolls into rec, finishing his chocolate bar and tossing the wrapper into a wastebasket
- [02:25am] Alivi: "Well even if you aren't human… know that I think you are very trustworthy Mr.Charon."
- [02:27am] Mr_Wilt: "Thank you, Eriko." He smiles.
- [02:28am] Alivi: She smiles back.
- [02:28am] Mr_Wilt: Rick gives Mags a twirl.
- [02:30am] Alivi: She goes to the door. "I hope to see you around sometime ok?"
- [02:30am] Mr_Wilt: "Okay!" Charon waves.
- [02:32am] padri: She twirls! When she's done, she moves in closer to Rick, leaving the waltz position. "How about the tango?"
- [02:32am] Snowshoe is now known as Snoway.
- [02:34am] Jekeled joined the chat room.
- [02:34am] Mactavish joined the chat room.
- [02:35am] Mr_Wilt: "That I dunno."
- [02:37am] padri: She grins. "Then I'll teach you." She moves into his personal space, holding him at the same time too close to be casual and too far to be intimate; exactly where she wants him.
- [02:38am] padri: She moves him with her around in circles through pushing away and pulling close. It's very much the sexual teasing when expressed through Magpie's body, and she seems to remember it almost flawlessly when compared to the waltz.
- [02:39am] Mr_Wilt: "Impressive." He moves with her, following her lead.
- [02:40am] padri: "Everyone should know the tango." She guides his arm to hold her as she leans back, giving him the illusion of control.
- [02:42am] Mr_Wilt: "I'll haveta take some lessons." Rick smiles a bit.
- [02:43am] padri: She stands back up, right in his personal space again. "You could be very good at it."
- [02:45am] Mr_Wilt: "Think so?"
- [02:45am] padri: "If that was any indication."
- [02:45am] padri: She grins.
- [02:46am] Mr_Wilt: He smiles back.
- [02:47am] padri: "Anyway. Lunchtime."
- [02:50am] Mr_Wilt: "Yup. You want some?"
- [02:50am] Snoway is now known as Snowshoe.
- [02:51am] padri: She tilts her head, considering something or other. "Maybe."
- [02:51am] Alivi: Eriko waves back before leaving
- [02:51am] Mr_Wilt: "Maybe?"

- [09:38am] foxi: All fireworky.
- [09:39am] CHolt: Crom smiles and nods. "Beautiful."
- [09:40am] foxi: She shrugs, and returns to her spot so he can have his hand at the task.
- [09:41am] CHolt: Crom takes his pistol, and tries to plant a few headshots.
- [09:41am] CHolt: 6df+6 Semiauto fire go go go!
- [09:41am] Glacon: CHolt: Semiauto fire go go go!: 5 (6df+6=0, 0, 0, +, -, -)
- [09:41am] CHolt: He shrugs as he misses several.
- [09:42am] CHolt: Crom steps back down. He holsters his pistol.
- [09:43am] CHolt: "So, more shots, or do you want to do something else?"
- [09:48am] NachtRuine: Zach hangs about in the caf, enjoying a sandwich while he juggles writing in his notebook and making a schematic.
- [09:48am] foxi: "Else is fine."
- [09:49am] CHolt: Crom slings his SMG. "Alright, your choice. Caf for food or rec for anything else?"
- [09:50am] Alivi: Eriko enters the cafeteria and gets some hot chocolate. And some soup.
- [09:50am] Strife joined the chat room.
- [09:51am] NachtRuine: Zach looks up from his work to see Eriko. "Hey there, Eriko. How're ya?"
- [09:52am] Alivi: Eriko smiles a bit. "Um…ok… you?"
- [09:54am] NachtRuine: "'m alright. Thinking a lot."
- [09:55am] CHolt: "Actually, it is your choice, choose whatever you want."
- [09:55am] foxi: "Rec. Better coffee there."
- [09:55am] Alivi: "About what?"
- [09:56am] CHolt: Crom nods, and motions for Charisse to go first.
- [09:56am] NachtRuine: "Buncha stuff."
- [09:56am] Alivi: "Oh…. I see…." She looks down and begins to eat a bit.
- [09:57am] Strife: Matt Winston sits unobtrusive in the rec room, sipping a coffee and working on his newly issued, very obsolete, foundation laptop
- [09:57am] foxi: She does.
- [09:58am] CHolt: Crom walks.
- [09:58am] NachtRuine: Zach seems like he is about to say something, but decides against it.
- [09:59am] CHolt: Crom opens the door for Charisse.
- [09:59am] foxi: She walks through it.
- [10:00am] Alivi: Eriko just continues to silently eat.
- [10:00am] CHolt: Crom walks in. Who's there? Zach, Eriko, and Matt?
- [10:01am] Strife: Matt looks up and gives a polite nod, before returning to his spreadsheet
- [10:01am] Alivi: Eriko and Zach are in the caf.
- [10:01am] CHolt: Crom nods to this person he's never seen, and to everyone else in rec.
- [10:01am] CHolt: Anyone else*
- [10:02am] NachtRuine: After a moment of silence, Zach decides to say it. "I-I've decided what I wanna do. With Tedi."
- [10:02am] CHolt left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- [10:03am] Alivi: Eriko looks up.
- [10:03am] ShockwaveLover joined the chat room.
- [10:03am] NachtRuine: "When... You know."
- [10:04am] Alivi: "Yes…"
- [10:04am] Alivi: Eriko looks back down. She doesn't want to think about that.
- [10:04am] foxi left the chat room. (Quit: grump.)
- [10:05am] Roget: Ralph is walking the halls, chewing gum.
- [10:06am] NachtRuine: Zach sees her look down, and gets a slight frown. "Um... Actually never mind. I don't think I should say."
- [10:07am] Alivi: "No…tell me....please..."
- [10:09am] NachtRuine: Zach quietly gulps. "I... Uh... I wannabe - " His voice fades into an indecipherable mumble.
- [10:09am] Alivi: Eriko looks at him, "What?"
- [10:11am] NachtRuine: He clears his throat. "I wanna be... buried with 'im." He finds this incredibly hard to say.
- [10:12am] Mactavish joined the chat room.
- [10:13am] Alivi: Eriko looks at him, a look of shock on her features as her eyes tear up.
- [10:14am] SWLogs joined the chat room.
- [10:15am] NachtRuine: Zach's frown gets larger. "This is why I didn't wanna tell ya. I didn't wantcha to cry."
- [10:16am] Alivi: "I don't want you to die...."
- [10:19am] NachtRuine: "I know you don't... I don't want to either." Zach tries to rid himself of the sorrow he's feeling, without much success. "But I'm not planning to for a long time."
- [10:19am] Alivi: "Me neither…"
- [10:20am] Alivi: "W-we will make it out of here someday…y-you know?"
- [10:21am] Snowshoe left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
- [10:21am] NachtRuine: He nods, trying to smile. "Until then, we've just gotta hang on."
- [10:22am] Alivi: She nods and wipes her eyes.
- [10:24am] NachtRuine: "And I'm gonna do what I can to keep us holding on."
- [10:24am] Alivi: "I will too..."
- [10:25am] Mactavish left the chat room.
- [10:26am] NachtRuine: Zach goes over to her and gives her a hug. "We'll make it out of here one day."
- [10:26am] Alivi: She hugs back. "I know...:
- [10:29am] NachtRuine: He lets go and goes back to where he was sitting. He pulls out Tedi, places the plush on the table and says in a funny voice, "And I will too!"
- [10:31am] Alivi: Eriko smiles, "Of course Tedi!"
- [10:32am] NachtRuine: Zach chuckles a little. "Tedi, what are you doing here?" "You brought me here, dummy!"
- [10:33am] Alivi: "[So cute!!]" Eriko says with a smile.
- [10:35am] NachtRuine: He smirks. "I think that's enough of that. Don't want him to talk too much." He puts Tedi back besides him. "I'm sitting right here, you know!"
- [10:37am] Alivi: She smiles and nods.
- [10:39am] NachtRuine: "Yeah, I decided to try and see if he's as good of a charm somewhere like rec or caf as he is in my room. So far, I haven't really noticed anything."
- [10:40am] Alivi: "Oh?"
- [10:40am] Alivi:
- [10:43am] Roget: Ralph walks into the cafeterium.
- [10:45am] Alivi: "Maybe he will right?"
- [10:47am] Roget: He's still chewing that gum
- [10:47am] Roget: chomp chomp
- [10:54am] Alivi: Eriko sighs and sips her hot cocoa
- [10:55am] NachtRuine: "You never know. Maybe he'll just give me a new idea altogether."
- [10:56am] TheRaven joined the chat room.
- [10:58am] Alivi: "Maybe..."
- [11:00am] NachtRuine: Then a silly voice. "Or maybe I'll just spill coffee on your plans!" Zach acts like he's shushing the doll. "Hush, hush, don't say that."
- [11:00am] Alivi: Eriko laughs again.
- [11:01am] NachtRuine: Zach laughs as well. "Oh man, I'm getting carried away with this."
- [11:03am] Alivi: "It is ok."
- [11:04am] NachtRuine: "It's just so fun. You try!" Zach goes over to hand her Tedi.
- [11:07am] Roget: Ralph gets some food. Apples, probably.
- [11:09am] Alivi: Eriko seems surprised. "Um...ok..."
- [11:10am] NachtRuine: He puts Tedi in front of her, facing her. Zach steps back to let them talk.
- [11:10am] Alivi: Eriko looks down, "Um…Hi tedi!"
- [11:12am] Roget: Ralph noticed the Zach and the Eriko. "Hi you two."
- [11:13am] NachtRuine: He says in a funny voice, "Hi, mama!" Zach turns to Ralph. "Hey there. Wha's going on with you?"
- [11:13am] Alivi: Eriko seems surprised. "M-Mama?!"
- [11:14am] Roget: "I'm eating this apple." He points at said apple
- [11:14am] Roget: it is red
- [11:15am] NachtRuine: Funny voice: "Yes! You are my mama, aren't you?" Regular voice: "That is indeed an apple."
- [11:16am] Roget: "It is a tasty apple. Also, what're you doing?"
- [11:17am] Alivi: Eriko looks at Tedi. "I guess…."
- [11:18am] NachtRuine: "Eriko's talkin' to Tedi." He makes a gesture towards the plush. Funny voice: "You made me, so you're my mama!"
- [11:18am] Roget: Ralph sits and observes.
- [11:19am] Alivi: "I suppose so…" Eriko looks at Ralph she has a small smile.
- [11:22am] NachtRuine: "He named me Tedi, but..." Zach tries to have the plush whisper while she can still hear it. "I don't really like the name that much."
- [11:24am] Roget: Ralph smiles back.
- [11:24am] Alivi: "Why I love that name. It fits you perfectly."
- [11:25am] NachtRuine: "Well... If you like it, then I like it."
- [11:27am] Alivi: "Good. Cause I love it!"
- [11:28am] NachtRuine: He goes back to his normal voice. "See, isn't it fun?"
- [11:29am] Alivi: "Yes!" Eriko says with a laugh.
- [11:30am] NachtRuine: Zach sits down not too far from them. "You wanna keep talking to Tedi? You could ask him a question!"
- [11:31am] Alivi: "Hmmmm I don't know what to ask!!"
- [11:32am] NachtRuine: "Yeah, I guess. Hrm..." Zach turns to Ralph. "What would you ask a talking teddy bear?"
- [11:37am] Mactavish joined the chat room.
- [11:37am] NachtRuine: "Or - Ooh! I know! Ask him about what he likes to do, perhaps!"
- [11:38am] Mactavish left the chat room.
- [11:40am] Alivi: "Um…. What do you like to do?"
- [11:40am] NachtRuine: Funny voice: "There isn't much for me to do! I just sit on this guy's desk, and he thinks I'm some kinda charm!"
- [11:43am] Alivi: "I bet you are!"
- [11:45am] NachtRuine: He tries to get it to whisper again. "Sometimes he holds me while he sleeps, what a - " Tedi is interrupted by Zach's grabbing of him and saying a bit quickly, "You know what, we don't need to hear about that."
- [11:46am] Roget: Ralph laughs
- [11:47am] Alivi: Eriko laughs as well.
- [11:48am] NachtRuine: Zach's face is a little red. "I told you I get carried away by this sometimes!"
- [11:49am] Alivi: "It is fine!"
- [11:52am] ShockwaveLover: "And you lot make fun of me..."
- [11:52am] Roget: "You are a silly guy Zach. Sillier than you let on."
- [11:52am] ShockwaveLover: Duncan leans against the doorframe, a smile playing across his face.
- [11:53am] Alivi: Eriko looks at Duncan. "Duncan I finished it!"
- [11:55am] NachtRuine: "Oh god, how much of that did you hear, Duncan?"
- [11:56am] ShockwaveLover: "Enough, Mr 'I Am Far Too Mature For Silliness'."
- [11:56am] ShockwaveLover: Duncan's grin is positively evil.
- [11:56am] NachtRuine: "Goddammit." His face gets a bit redder.
- [11:57am] Roget: Ralph laughs again
- [11:57am] Alivi: Eriko also laughs. She gets her bag and produces a lion plushie. It is Pon-De-Lion! She offers it to Duncan, "For you."
- [11:58am] ShockwaveLover: "Huh? Oh man, is that Pon de Lion? For me?"
- [11:59am] NachtRuine: "Who's Pon de Lion?"
- [12:00pm] Alivi: "Yes! You know of pon de lion?!"
- [12:00pm] ShockwaveLover: He takes it. "D'awwwww."
- [12:00pm] ShockwaveLover: "Yeah, you mentioned he looked like me a while back. I did a google search."
- [12:00pm] Roget: "Neat."
- [12:01pm] ShockwaveLover: .gi Pon de Lion
- [12:01pm] Glacon: ShockwaveLover: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3467/3730857791_0aa55ff28e.jpg
- [12:01pm] NachtRuine: "So who is Pon de Lion again?"
- [12:01pm] ShockwaveLover: "Well, this." Duncan holds up his plush.
- [12:02pm] Alivi: Eriko smiles.
- [12:02pm] NachtRuine: "Well, yeah, I know that. But is it from something?"
- [12:02pm] ShockwaveLover: "Man, you did a bloody good job on this, 'Riko. He's so soft!"
- [12:03pm] ShockwaveLover: Duncan's like a kid on christmas morning.
- [12:03pm] Roget: "It's cute, innit?"
- [12:04pm] Alivi: Eriko smiles, "I am glad! He is from a Dounut chain called Mister Donut!:
- [12:04pm] NachtRuine: He seems a bit surprised. "Really now?"
- [12:04pm] ShockwaveLover: "Duncan Donuts, and all that..."
- [12:06pm] NachtRuine: "Oh, hahaha."
- [12:06pm] Roget: "I haven't had donuts in like, a month."
- [12:06pm] Roget: Ralph rubs his tum-tum
- [12:06pm] Alivi: "We should make a donut!"
- [12:07pm] NachtRuine: "How do you just make a donut?"
- [12:08pm] ShockwaveLover: "The same way everyone makes them, I suppose."
- [12:08pm] Alivi: "We can look up the recipe!"
- [12:08pm] ShockwaveLover: How big is the Pon de Lion plush?
- [12:09pm] NachtRuine: "I guess we could. I mean, I ain't much help in the kitchen if I ain't makin' a sandwich, but I can try."
- [12:10pm] padri joined the chat room.
- [12:10pm] Alivi: Its a pretty decent size
- [12:11pm] ShockwaveLover: "I think I know the perfect place for little Pon."
- [12:11pm] Alivi: "Really?"
- [12:13pm] Roget: I want a donut with chocolate sprinkles
- [12:13pm] Roget: ""
- [12:13pm] Alivi: "Ok! Can someone look it up for me?"
- [12:15pm] ShockwaveLover: Duncan roots around in his webbing, clearing out a largish pouch. Pon de Lion is carefully placed in, until just his head and mane are peeking out.
- [12:15pm] Alivi: Eriko looks and smiles, "He can come with you!!!:
- [12:16pm] NachtRuine: Zach smirks. "Alright, that's kinda cute."
- [12:17pm] ShockwaveLover: "I'll modify the pouch so he doesn't fall out."
- [12:17pm] NachtRuine: "Almost makes me wish I could do the same for Tedi."
- [12:18pm] Alivi: "That;s amazing…"

- [12:19pm] Strifey is now known as Strife.
- [12:20pm] Roget: Ralph coughs into his sleeve
- [12:21pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Ralph. "Ralph are you ok?"
- [12:23pm] NachtRuine: "Yer not catching that cold that's been going around, are you?"
- [12:23pm] Alivi: Eriko frowns, "Oh no..."
- [12:23pm] Jekeled left the chat room. (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.89 [Firefox 16.0.1/20121010144125])
- [12:23pm] Jekeled joined the chat room.
- [12:24pm] Roget: "I hope not."
- [12:25pm] Alivi: Eriko walks over and gently places her hand on his forehead. How does it feel?
- [12:25pm] NachtRuine: "Ah, you'll be fine. Yer a doc, you can take care of it."
- [12:26pm] padri: Magpie convinces herself she's high in her cell.
- [12:26pm] Roget: Feels normal...maybe a /little/ warm
- [12:26pm] Alivi: Eriko frowns. "Ralph…" She looks at him
- [12:27pm] Alivi: Is she sure that it is a /little/ warm
- [12:28pm] ShockwaveLover: "Ralph's allergic to pulshies."
- [12:28pm] ShockwaveLover: *plushies
- [12:28pm] Roget: It /might/ be a /little/ warm. maybe her hands are just cold
- [12:29pm] NachtRuine: "Yeah, that might explain it. He can't handle the stuffings."
- [12:29pm] Alivi: "But I gave him one…" She pulls her hand away. "Duncan are my hands cold?"
- [12:29pm] Alivi: She holds one out to him.
- [12:30pm] ShockwaveLover: "Um..." He takes it, her dainty little hand looking small next to his calloused palms..
- [12:32pm] Alivi: It doesn't feel cold.
- [12:32pm] padri: She doesn't do a very good job of it, but she lets her mind go wild, anyway.
- [12:35pm] NachtRuine: Zach awaits the response.
- [12:35pm] ShockwaveLover: "No...they seem fairly normal."
- [12:38pm] Alivi: Eriko nods. She turns back to Ralph placing her hand on his forehead one last time. She seems to be trying to figure it out.
- [12:39pm] Roget: He's definitely a bit warm
- [12:41pm] Alivi: Eriko frowns. "Oh Ralph…"
- [12:41pm] Roget: "What? What is it?"
- [12:42pm] NachtRuine: "He ain't ill, is he?"
- [12:43pm] Alivi: "[Netsu ga…arimasu..(He has a fever…)]"
- [12:43pm] padri: She imitates a tuba instead.
- [12:44pm] NachtRuine: "Eriko, you're speaking another language, I can't understand you."
- [12:44pm] Alivi: "Fever…."
- [12:45pm] NachtRuine: Zach's brow furrows a little. "How bad is it?"
- [12:45pm] Alivi: "Just a bit… not too bad…I think..."
- [12:45pm] Alivi: She looks at him concerned
- [12:45pm] Roget: "Uh oh...I don't wanna get sick."
- [12:45pm] padri: She does a half decent tuba impression.
- [12:46pm] NachtRuine: "If it's a little, that means it's recent or something. I think if you just take some medicine, it'll go away quick. Isn't that how it works, the earlier you take meds, the faster it goes?"
- [12:47pm] TheRaven left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer)
- [12:47pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs.
- [12:48pm] TheRaven joined the chat room.
- [12:48pm] NachtRuine: "Right?"
- [12:48pm] Alivi: "I am not a doctor…"
- [12:49pm] Roget: "That is not how it works in the slightest."
- [12:50pm] NachtRuine: "Well..." He sighs.
- [12:51pm] Alivi: "You need rest Ralph..."
- [12:52pm] Alivi: "If you want I can cook you something..."
- [12:52pm] Roget: "You don't have to do that..."
- [12:52pm] NachtRuine: "And I guess I can bring you stuff if you need it."
- [12:54pm] padri: She's nearly bored. She gets up and does a handstand.
- [12:56pm] Roget: Ralph coughs again
- [12:56pm] Alivi: "Ralph…really…you need to rest..."
- [12:56pm] NachtRuine: "Yeah, I'm gonna go with what Eriko said. Sooner you rest, sooner you get over it."
- [12:56pm] Alivi: She seems worried…more so than he has seen her before
- [12:57pm] Roget: "It's just a little cough. I'm fine."
- [12:57pm] Alivi: "No….Really..."
- [12:57pm] NachtRuine: "But you really should calm down Eriko. It's nothing."
- [12:58pm] Alivi: "If he is sick…when things go wrong…t-then what?"
- [12:58pm] Roget: "If you insist, I'll go rest."
- [12:59pm] NachtRuine: "When? Why when?"
- [1:00pm] NachtRuine: Now Zach is getting a bit worried.
- [1:00pm] Roget: Ralph gets up, and stretches. "I'm gonna go lie down in rec, if anyone needs me."
- [1:01pm] Alivi: Eriko nods. "Ralph…is there anything I can get you?"
- [1:06pm] Roget: "I really think I'm okay. Thanks though."
- [1:06pm] Alivi: "O…Oh….ok..."
- [1:07pm] ShockwaveLover: "Someome make him some chicken soup, quick."
- [1:07pm] Roget: Ralph starts headin' down the hall
- [1:07pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Duncan.
- [1:08pm] Alivi: "I mean I could but he might not eat it..."
- [1:08pm] Strife: Matt's still in the rec room, hot on the trail of strange paper towel usage records
- [1:08pm] NachtRuine: "Eriko, why did you say when?"
- [1:09pm] Alivi: Eriko pauses. "W-what do you mean?"
- [1:09pm] Lurkbot was promoted to operator by ChanServ.
- [1:09pm] Lurkbot joined the chat room.
- [1:09pm] NachtRuine: "You said 'when things go wrong'."
- [1:10pm] TheRaven left the chat room. (Quit: Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the roarin' waves, together undivided but forever we'll be free!)
- [1:11pm] Alivi: "I…don't remember that."
- [1:12pm] NachtRuine: "The whole thing was 'if he is sick, when things go wrong, then what?'" He's getting more worried.
- [1:13pm] Alivi: "I'm….going to go check on Ralph." Eriko turns to exit.
- [1:14pm] Roget: Ralph is lying on a couch in rec
- [1:14pm] NachtRuine: "Eriko, I want an answer. Please."
- [1:15pm] Alivi: "It was a mistake."
- [1:16pm] NachtRuine: "You sure?"
- [1:16pm] Alivi: "Yea…. I…the earthquakes…it makes me worried."
- [1:17pm] Strife: Matt finally discovers the root of the paper towel reporting deficiencies: someone put a date in the rolls ordered in logistics site bravo, and the record keeping spiraled into hell from there.
- [1:18pm] Roget: Ralph rolls over a bit
- [1:18pm] Strife: Deciding to put off fixing everything until the morning, he snaps the laptop closed and departs, not to be seen for another few months.
- [1:19pm] padri left the chat room.
- [1:19pm] NachtRuine: "Oh. Well, I'm sure everything will be alright!" He then says in a silly voice, "Yeah, everything will be okay!"
- [1:19pm] Alivi: "Y…yea.." Eriko's voice is wavering. She takes a breath.
- [1:19pm] Mactavish joined the chat room.
- [1:20pm] NachtRuine: Zach stands up. "You alright, Eriko?"
- [1:20pm] Mactavish left the chat room.
- [1:24pm] Alivi: "Yes."
- [1:24pm] Roget: Cough cough
- [1:25pm] NachtRuine: "You didn't really sound it. But if you say you are..." He sits back down.
- [1:26pm] Alivi: "Sorry…" Eriko says with a sigh. She leaves making her way to rec.
- [1:27pm] Roget: Ralph is on a couch there
- [1:29pm] Alivi: Eriko walks in and sits down.
- [1:29pm] Roget: "Oh hi Eri."
- [1:29pm] NachtRuine: Once Zach is sure that Eriko is gone, he puts his head down on the table and sighs.
- [1:29pm] Alivi: "Hey Ralph..."
- [1:31pm] Roget: "You come to make sure I don't cough up my lungs?"
- [1:31pm] Alivi: "Yep..."
- [1:32pm] Roget: "That's nice of you."
- [1:34pm] Alivi: "You took care of me..."

- [1:40pm] Alivi: "I hope so..."
- [1:43pm] Roget: where is she sitting in regards to him?
- [1:44pm] Alivi: On a chair adjacent to his couch.
- [1:46pm] Roget: Ralph sits up. "I'll probably be fit as a fiddle this time tomorrow, really."
- [1:47pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at him. "Ralph..."
- [1:49pm] Roget: "Yes?"
- [1:50pm] Alivi: "D-Don't push yourself.."
- [1:53pm] Roget: "You're worrying to much about this. I mean, I appreciate the TLC, but I'm not super sick. Really." He smiles a bit.

- [1:58pm] Roget: "What do you not understand?"
- [2:03pm] Alivi: "TLc…"
- [2:04pm] Roget: "Oh...it's an acronym. It stands for...erm..."
- [2:05pm] Strife left the chat room. (Client exited)
- [2:06pm] Roget: Ralph coughs
- [2:07pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at ralph even more concerned.
- [2:07pm] Alivi: "it is ok…just rest..."
- [2:08pm] Roget: "Yes...rest...right."
- [2:08pm] Strife joined the chat room.
- [2:09pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs and moves her chair closer to him.
- [2:10pm] Roget: "Could you hand me a tissue?"
- [2:11pm] Alivi: Eriko hands him one.
- [2:12pm] Roget: Ralph wipes his forehead with it. "Thank you kindly."
- [2:15pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs and goes over to the sink, she comes back with a cool damp cloth. She holds it out to him.
- [2:17pm] Roget: "Thank you." He places it on his forehead. "This should help."
- [2:18pm] Alivi: Eriko seems upset.
- [2:21pm] Roget: "Are /you/ okay?"
- [2:23pm] Alivi: "J-just worried…about you.."
- [2:25pm] Roget: "I'm gonna be fine. A small fever isn't gonna keep me down."
- [2:25pm] Roget: "Does it really bug you that much?"
- [2:26pm] Alivi: "You just need to get better soon…I….Im afraid."
- [2:27pm] Roget: "Afraid?"
- [2:27pm] Alivi: She sighs, "All these earthquakes and talk of death."
- [2:27pm] Alivi: "If something like Simon says happens, you need to be better by then!"
- [2:33pm] Roget: "Earthquakes?"
- [2:35pm] Alivi: "The site has been shaking..."
- [2:35pm] Roget: "When has this happened?"
- [2:36pm] Alivi: "Twice…."
- [2:42pm] Roget: "Sounds bad."
- [2:42pm] Roget: Ralph frowns for a second, then coughs.
- [2:43pm] Alivi: "Ralph… rest it is ok. Probably nothing."
- [2:46pm] Roget: "Have you been practicing at the range?"
- [2:47pm] Alivi: She shakes her head.
- [2:47pm] Jekeled left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
- [2:48pm] Alivi: "I….will tonight though…I promise..."
- [2:50pm] Roget: "Do you still have castor?"
- [2:50pm] Alivi: "I do."
- [2:51pm] Roget: "On you?"
- [2:54pm] Alivi: "…yes…"
- [2:54pm] Roget: "Keep it that way."
- [2:55pm] Alivi: "…I will..."
- [2:55pm] Lurkbot: Tam is piss drunk in his office.
- [2:55pm] Lurkbot: Fucking smashed
- [2:55pm] Lurkbot: Vant even type
- [2:59pm] Alivi: Eriko looks down. "Promise me you will get better?"
- [2:59pm] Roget: Ralph nods. "You don't have to fret."
- [3:02pm] Alivi: "Ok…"
- [3:08pm] Alivi: "Well….you rest….ok…."
- [3:08pm] Alivi: She gets up.
- [3:09pm] Roget: "I shall."
- [3:09pm] Alivi: Eriko smiles and goes on her way towards the dorms.
- [3:10pm] Lurker_Mobile joined the chat room.
- [3:10pm] Roget: Ralph lays down
- [3:10pm] Lurker_Mobile left the chat room. (Quit: Lurker_Mobile)
- [3:11pm] Lurkbot left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
- [3:14pm] Alivi: Eriko wanders in the dorms
- [3:14pm] NachtRuine: As she passes Zach's room, she might hear some noises inside. Nothing too loud, but noticable.
- [3:15pm] Alivi: Eriko pauses she stops and goes back.
- [3:15pm] Alivi: she tries to listen
- [3:15pm] NachtRuine: It sounds like Zach talking, but the words aren't very clear.
- [3:17pm] Alivi: "Zach?" She knocks on the door.
- [3:19pm] Lurk_Party is now known as Handsome_Lurk_Sleeps.
- [3:19pm] NachtRuine: The talking suddenly stops. Zach opens the door slightly. He has a somewhat worried look on his face, but upon seeing the person on the other side of the door, he quickly perks up and opens the door more. "Oh, hey Eriko. What's up?"
- [3:20pm] Alivi: "You…..ok?"
- [3:21pm] NachtRuine: "Yeah, fine, why?" He is quite obviously not alright.
- [3:22pm] Alivi: "…please….tell me?"
- [3:24pm] NachtRuine: Zach sighs. "C-Come on in, I guess." He opens the door enough to let her in.
- [3:24pm] Alivi: Eriko slips off her shoes and enters.
- [3:26pm] Alivi: "What is wrong?"
- [3:26pm] NachtRuine: The room is a bit more of a mess than normal, specifically his desk. Amidst all of the piles of paper, Tedi sits atop the tallest one. Zach sits down at the bed. "You can have a seat at my desk chair, it's the only one I got."
- [3:27pm] Alivi: Eriko sits down.
- [3:27pm] NachtRuine: Zach sighs. "I'll be honest with you. I haven't been as well as I've made myself."
- [3:29pm] Alivi: "I know..."
- [3:30pm] NachtRuine: Zach looks to Eriko. "How do you know?"
- [3:30pm] Alivi: "In the margins….it said….it cannot happen again."
- [3:31pm] NachtRuine: "In the m - oh. Right. The changes to the will."
- [3:33pm] Alivi: Eriko nods.
- [3:33pm] NachtRuine: "D-Do you know what I meant by that?"
- [3:35pm] Alivi: "No."
- [3:36pm] NachtRuine: "I s-suppose you want me to tell you."
- [3:36pm] Alivi: "P-please..."
- [3:38pm] NachtRuine: Zach sighs deeply, as if in preparation. "... I cannot... Die again. Not like that."
- [3:38pm] Alivi: "S-so you did….die…"
- [3:39pm] NachtRuine: Zach nods slowly. "Yes. Once. It was a simulation, but it was real enough."
- [3:40pm] Alivi: Eriko closes her eyes.
- [3:41pm] Alivi: "I-I..."
- [3:42pm] NachtRuine: Zach looks to her. "Yes?"
- [3:42pm] Alivi: "I will make sure…it doesn't happen again."
- [3:43pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Zach and gives a small smile. "Ok?"
- [3:44pm] NachtRuine: Zach tries to smile, but it doesn't work. "Yeah, I think I'd appreciate that."
- [3:44pm] Alivi: Eriko smiles, "Right…please rest….and sleep."
- [3:46pm] NachtRuine: "...I was afraid, you know."
- [3:46pm] Alivi: "…really?"
- [3:47pm] NachtRuine: "Yeah. I was. Not because it was the end, though."
- [3:47pm] Alivi: "Then….why?"
- [3:48pm] NachtRuine: "Because I wouldn't be around to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to you or Ralph or anyone else on-site."
- [3:49pm] Alivi: "Zach…"
- [3:50pm] NachtRuine: "I couldn't stand the thought of it. Not being able to help anymore."
- [3:50pm] Alivi: "I won't let it happen….ok?"
- [3:51pm] NachtRuine: Zach again tries to smile, a small one visible. His eyes are a little watery, as well. "Thank you, Eriko."
- [3:52pm] Alivi: she nods.
- [3:53pm] NachtRuine: "You wanna make a deal?"
- [3:53pm] Alivi: "A deal?"
- [3:53pm] NachtRuine: "Yeah. I'll try to stop worrying if you do as well."
- [3:54pm] Alivi: "Ok… I can do that…"
- [3:57pm] NachtRuine: Zach nods. "Where there's life, there's hope."
- [3:59pm] Alivi: "Yes..."
- [4:01pm] NachtRuine: "And we've always got our lives."
- [4:04pm] Alivi: Eriko nods
- [4:08pm] NachtRuine: "Let's just make sure we keep it that way."
- [4:08pm] Alivi: "I will..."
- [4:12pm] NachtRuine: "You promise?"
- [4:12pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at him. "Of course." She smiles.
- [4:14pm] Alivi: She gets up.
- [4:14pm] Alivi: "Sleep well Zach… ok?"
- [4:14pm] NachtRuine: Zach gets up and gives her a light hug. "I'll try."
- [4:15pm] Alivi: She hugs him back.
- [4:15pm] Alivi: "Ok..."
- [4:15pm] NachtRuine: "I want you to try, too."
- [4:15pm] Alivi: If he is looking he might notice she has her gun on her.
- [4:15pm] Alivi: "Of course."
- [4:20pm] NachtRuine: He doesn't. "Good."
- [4:20pm] Alivi: "I'm going to bed ok?"
- [4:21pm] NachtRuine: "Alright. Sleep tight."
- [4:21pm] Alivi: Eriko nods and exits.
- [4:24pm] Alivi: Eriko makes her way towards the range.
- [4:24pm] Alivi: She figures it is late enough and no one will notice.
- [4:28pm] Alivi: Eriko makes it to the range is anyone there?
- [4:31pm] ShockwaveLover: Duncan's there, loading a magazine.
- [4:32pm] Alivi: Eriko seems surprised. She hopes he doesn't notice her she goes over towards a practice target and takes out Castor.
- [4:34pm] Alivi: She aims and takes a breath before firing.
- [4:34pm] Alivi: 6df+4
- [4:34pm] Glacon: Alivi: 0 (6df+4=-, -, 0, -, -, 0)
- [4:35pm] Soulless|Away is now known as Soulless.
- [4:36pm] ShockwaveLover: He can't miss that.
- [4:37pm] Alivi: No he can't. Eriko sighs.
- [4:38pm] ShockwaveLover: "Blimey, what was that?"
- [4:39pm] ShockwaveLover: The sound of bullet flying wildly of course jolts him from his reverie.
- [4:39pm] Alivi: "Sorry….."
- [4:41pm] Alivi: She places Castor down and steps out a bit. She waves.
- [4:41pm] ShockwaveLover: "Still coming to grips with it, eh?"
- [4:45pm] Alivi: "Grips with what?"
- [4:45pm] padri joined the chat room.
- [4:47pm] ShockwaveLover: "The gun."
- [4:47pm] ShockwaveLover: "What calibre is that?"
- [4:49pm] ShockwaveLover: "And before you ask, it means what size bullet it takes."
- [4:49pm] Alivi: "Um….."
- [4:49pm] Alivi: "I don't know….."
- [4:50pm] padri: Magpie dies slowly in solitary.
- [4:51pm] Alivi: "I think…Simon said it was a .44…"

- [5:11pm] ShockwaveLover: "A .44? Jesus H Christ on a flipping bicycle! No wonder you're having trouble!"
- [5:11pm] ShockwaveLover: "God, that's bigger than what /I/ normally shoot!"
- [5:12pm] ShockwaveLover: "I'm surprised you haven't broken your flaming wrist firing that thing."
- [5:12pm] ShockwaveLover: He shakes his head in disbelief.
- [5:13pm] ShockwaveLover: "Your 'father' is a bloody idiot."
- [5:13pm] Alivi: "But….Zach said it was a .357….So I am not sure…"
- [5:13pm] ShockwaveLover: He still can't get over it.
- [5:15pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Duncan not understanding the problem.
- [5:15pm] ShockwaveLover: "It sure looks like one of the hand cannons he normally carries around."
- [5:16pm] Alivi: "He gave me this one…. it doesn't run out of amm…amu…bullets!" She says giving up on the word.
- [5:16pm] ShockwaveLover: He sees her lack of comprehension. "Okay, imagine it like this. You've decided to start teaching me chemistry."
- [5:17pm] Alivi: "Ok..."
- [5:17pm] ShockwaveLover: "Would you give me a 44 gallon drum of sodium and access to water?"
- [5:17pm] ShockwaveLover: "Or hand me a beaker of hydrochloric acid and tell me to go wild?"
- [5:18pm] Alivi: Eriko frowns "That is a lot of sodium… and it depends on the concentration of the acid….but no..."
- [5:19pm] ShockwaveLover: "Giving that gun to person who's just started shooting is like giving a science student a nuclear reactor."
- [5:20pm] Alivi: "I've shot before…I had a foundation course in Japan."
- [5:21pm] ShockwaveLover: "Even so, it's not a gun for anyone even close to beginner."
- [5:22pm] ShockwaveLover: "That sort of thing takes a lot of training to use even moderately well."
- [5:22pm] Alivi: "I've shot with it before..."

- [5:25pm] ShockwaveLover: He sighs. "Look, it's a nice gift, but that sort of calibre isn't really meant for anything outside of showing off at the range. It's heavy, it's unruly and it kicks like a fucking mule. You'd be better off with a pistol, at least for the time being."
- [5:25pm] ShockwaveLover: "Keep practising, sure, but don't take it on mission."
- [5:26pm] Alivi: "Its the only one I have. Other than my old Foundation one."
- [5:29pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Duncan frowning.

- [5:35pm] Alivi: "Well..I don't have one of those… this is what I have and I have to get used to using it..."

- [5:44pm] SWLogs: "Yes, but while you're getting used to it, you won't be performing as well in the field, will you?'
- [5:44pm] SWLogs: "And that puts the rest of us at risk."
- [5:45pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs. "What do I do then?"
- [5:46pm] SWLogs: "Like I said, keep practising with it. But draw yourself something smaller from the Armoury in the meantime."
- [5:47pm] Soulless is now known as Soulless|Dreamin.
- [5:48pm] Alivi: "Like what….All I have is a foundation gun and I do not know if that is good enough and a pocketknife…." Eriko knows nothing about weapons.
- [5:49pm] SWLogs: "Look, if you want, I'll come with you. Give you a hand."
- [5:52pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs. "Ok..."
- [5:52pm] Alivi: "What if he gets upset though?"
- [5:54pm] SWLogs: "You're still using it. Just not on mission until you can get to grips with it. He can't be upset with that."
- [5:55pm] Alivi: "I guess..."
- [5:55pm] Alivi: She frowns more and looks at Duncan. "What if I shouldn't shoot at all… how do I help then?"
- [5:58pm] SWLogs: "Hey, when did I say you shouldn't shoot at all?"
- [5:59pm] Alivi: "When I shot my teammate in the foot..."
- [6:00pm] SWLogs: "Yeah, but you've gotten better since then."
- [6:02pm] Alivi: "Really?"
- [6:02pm] SWLogs: "Wouldn't say it if it wasn't true." He gives her a pat on the back, then turns to the door. "Come on, let's head off and get you some firepower."
- [6:05pm] Alivi: Eriko follows Duncan.
- [6:07pm] Alivi: She doesn't seem very happy but she realizes the merit of Duncan's suggestion
- [6:12pm] Positronium left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
- [6:17pm] SWLogs: They arrive at the armoury in short order.
- [6:18pm] Alivi: Eriko looks around and then at Duncan.
- [6:18pm] SWLogs: "Right, just give me a sec..."
- [6:19pm] Alivi: "Ok...."
- [6:19pm] SWLogs: He heads over to the main desk, and after some discussion, comes back with two pistols.
- [6:20pm] Alivi: Eriko waits for him.
- [6:22pm] SWLogs: "Right, these two here are the best choices, I think, but if you want to look at some more, I'm more than happy too."
- [6:24pm] SWLogs: "This one's a Glock 17C. Holds 17 rounds of 9mm." http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/IMG_1132crop.JPG/800px-IMG_1132crop.JPG
- [6:25pm] SWLogs: "And this one is a SIG Sauer P226. 15 rounds, but slightly heavier. Maybe a better shot, that's debatable." http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/SIG_Sauer_P226_E2_-_10rd_Magazine.jpg/800px-SIG_Sauer_P226_E2_-_10rd_Magazine.jpg
- [6:27pm] SWLogs: He offers them to Eriko.
- [6:27pm] SWLogs: "I've got them both signed out, so you can try them on the range before you choose."
- [6:28pm] Alivi: "…How do I know which one is the best…?"
- [6:29pm] SWLogs: "Well, you shoot 'em. Proof's in the pudding, as they say."
- [6:29pm] SWLogs: "If neither of 'em feel right, we'll come back and try some others."
- [6:30pm] Alivi: Eriko gives Duncan a funny look. "Ok…."
- [6:30pm] SWLogs: "What's that look for?"
- [6:34pm] Alivi: "You say….weird things..."
- [6:34pm] Alivi: She starts walking to the Range.
- [6:35pm] SWLogs: "Like Japanese doesn't have odd phrases."
- [6:36pm] Alivi: "Whatever..."
- [6:37pm] Alivi: She arrives at the range and sighs.
- [6:37pm] Alivi: She looks at the pistols. Not sure which one to use.
- [6:38pm] SWLogs: "Doesn't really matter which one you start with."
- [6:39pm] Alivi: She picks up the Glock and sighs aiming at a target.
- [6:39pm] Alivi: 6df+4
- [6:39pm] Glacon: Alivi: 2 (6df+4=0, 0, 0, 0, -, -)
- [6:40pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Duncan.
- [6:41pm] SWLogs: "Better than you were before. Take another shot."
- [6:42pm] Alivi: Eriko nods and aims again.
- [6:42pm] Alivi: 6df+4
- [6:42pm] Glacon: Alivi: 6 (6df+4=-, +, 0, +, +, 0)
- [6:42pm] SWLogs: "Alright, that's more like it!"
- [6:43pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Duncan. "Are you sure this is how it is supposed to work?"
- [6:44pm] SWLogs: "How do you mean?"
- [6:45pm] Alivi: "It….just feels light…."
- [6:45pm] Alivi: She frowns not sure if that is the right word.
- [6:46pm] SWLogs: "Well, compared to the hand cannon you were using before, yeah - it'll fee la bit light. And it's 40% plastic."
- [6:47pm] Alivi: "Really?" She looks at it surprised.
- [6:48pm] SWLogs: "Yep."
- [6:48pm] SWLogs: "Not the stuff you find in a plastic bag, mind you."
- [6:48pm] SWLogs: "Slightly tougher than that."
- [6:49pm] SWLogs: He chuckles.
- [6:50pm] Alivi: "Oh…."
- [6:50pm] Alivi: She aims with it again just to make sure.
- [6:50pm] Alivi: 6df+4
- [6:50pm] Glacon: Alivi: 4 (6df+4=-, 0, +, 0, +, -)
- [6:50pm] Alivi: She places it down and picks up the other pistol looking it over.
- [6:54pm] Alivi: She aims it at the target and shoots
- [6:54pm] Alivi: 6df+4
- [6:54pm] Glacon: Alivi: 5 (6df+4=+, -, +, -, 0, +)
- [6:54pm] Alivi: She seems surprised.
- [6:55pm] SWLogs: Duncan safes the Glock while he tracks her shots.
- [6:57pm] Alivi: She tries again
- [6:57pm] Alivi: 6df+4
- [6:57pm] Glacon: Alivi: 1 (6df+4=+, -, -, -, 0, -)
- [6:57pm] Alivi: She sighs.
- [6:58pm] SWLogs: "Give her another few goes. We all have bad luck."
- [6:59pm] Alivi: "Ok…" She aims again.
- [6:59pm] Alivi: 6df+4
- [6:59pm] Glacon: Alivi: 3 (6df+4=+, 0, -, -, -, +)
- [6:59pm] Alivi: 6df+4

- [7:00pm] Tox|Laptop left the chat room. (Quit: Leaving.)
- [7:00pm] SWLogs: "What do you think?"
- [7:02pm] Alivi: "I am not sure..."
- [7:02pm] Alivi: "I don't know if this bad luck is because of my skill or the gun..."
- [7:06pm] SWLogs: "You seemed to do better with the Glock, but that's just me."
- [7:06pm] Alivi: "I think so too…" She seems a bit worried.
- [7:09pm] SWLogs: "Which one felt better?"
- [7:10pm] SWLogs: He wonders why she sounds worried.
- [7:10pm] Alivi: "The glock…but..."
- [7:11pm] Alivi: She sighs.
- [7:12pm] SWLogs: "But?"
- [7:13pm] Alivi: "But….it isn't the same…"
- [7:13pm] Alivi: "What if…I mess up?"
- [7:16pm] SWLogs: "Do you think the chances of messing up are greater now than they were before?"
- [7:20pm] Alivi: "…I don't know..."
- [7:22pm] SWLogs: "'Riko, there's always chance we'll mess up. But do you know what's worse than messing up?"
- [7:23pm] Alivi: "No…."
- [7:24pm] SWLogs: "Getting so afraid of messing up that we don't even try."
- [7:26pm] SWLogs: "At least if we screw up, we know that we were giving it our best shot. Sitting around navel gazing means you've committed to losing right off the bat."
- [7:27pm] Alivi: Eriko looks down.
- [7:28pm] SWLogs: "And I don't know about you, but I don't plan on going down without a fight, whether I mess up or not."
- [7:29pm] Alivi: "I promised Zach…. that I would do my best to protect everyone..."
- [7:31pm] Alivi: "But I'm not like you… I'm not a fighter…. I just know how to mix up chemicals…."
- [7:32pm] Alivi: "I just want to make sure I am doing my best..."
- [7:32pm] SWLogs: "Then concentrate on being great at that. That's a skill that's more likely to save us all from the apocalypse than blasting away at things." He sighs. "You can't worry about everyone, Eriko. I learnt that a long time ago. Doesn't do anyone any good."
- [7:35pm] SWLogs: "Help where you can, sure, but trust people to do their jobs."
- [7:36pm] Alivi: "How would chemistry save us?"
- [7:36pm] Alivi: Eriko looks like she is pondering more than asking.
- [7:38pm] SWLogs: "Who knows? But at the end of the day, science is probably the greatest weapon in humanity's arsenal."
- [7:40pm] Alivi: "I guess..."
- [7:41pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at the glock. "So this one...right?"
- [7:42pm] Alivi: "It has limited ammo…how much should I carry with me?"
- [7:43pm] SWLogs: "I'd go with two mags spare, and one loaded in. That'll give you plenty of ammo."
- [7:44pm] SWLogs: "If you get into a situation that you need more than that, well, a 9mm probably isn't going to be much help anyway."
- [7:46pm] Alivi: "True…" Eriko sighs.
- [7:46pm] Alivi: "How….do you load it?"
- [7:51pm] SWLogs: "Just put the mag in. There's no manual safety - see that little bar sticking out of the trigger? That has to be pressed in for it to fire."
- [7:51pm] Alivi: "Oh..."
- [7:51pm] SWLogs: "If you're unloading, there's a magazine catch on the left side, behind the trigger. Hit that to drop out the mag, pull the slide back to eject any rounds in the chamber, inspect it, release the slide and pull the trigger."
- [7:52pm] Alivi: Eriko stares at him.
- [7:52pm] SWLogs: "Like this." He takes the gun and demonstrates.
- [7:53pm] Alivi: Eriko watches. "Oh…"
- [7:53pm] SWLogs: It's run through a few times, then he hands it back to her. "Your turn."
- [7:53pm] Alivi: "This…..is hard..."
- [7:53pm] Alivi: She takes it and tries to do it. She doesn't slide back to eject the rounds.
- [7:56pm] SWLogs: "Gotta rack the slide back. Otherwise there might still be one in there."
- [7:57pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Duncan, "O-Oh…"
- [7:57pm] Alivi: She does so and releases the slide.
- [8:02pm] SWLogs: "There we go. Practice that and you'll be doing it in your sleep."
- [8:18pm] Alivi: "Ok….."
- [8:21pm] SWLogs: "Awesome." Duncan safes the P226, and looks around. "Well, I think that's about everything."
- [8:22pm] SWLogs: "Oh, almost forgot - you'll have to pull some spare mags and a holster from the armoury."
- [8:22pm] Alivi: "Um Duncan?"

- [8:26pm] SWLogs: Now he's confused.
- [8:27pm] Alivi: "I don't understand guns…."

- [8:28pm] Alivi: "Ok..."
- [8:29pm] SWLogs: Duncan laughs. "You're not paid to understand 'em, after all."
