  1. 01[21:25] <Alexi> [LAST TIME[
  2. 01[21:25] <Alexi> [The maids were introduced!
  3. 01[21:25] <Alexi> [THIS TIME]
  4. [21:25] <[Rut]K> [More broken brackets!]
  5. [21:25] <[Rut]K> [Again!]
  6. 01[21:25] <Alexi> [A challenger approaches!]
  7. 06[21:26] * Alexi stands out on the roof, in a sandstorm, on lookout duty.
  8. 06[21:28] * [Rut]K pops the upper half of her head out of a hatch to stare at Alexi.
  9. [21:28] <[Rut]K> ...
  10. 01[21:28] <Alexi> Something wrong?
  11. [21:29] <[Rut]K> Statement of the obvious hazards to fleshies that you are currently exposed to.
  12. 01[21:29] <Alexi> Ah, I've been through worse.
  13. 06[21:29] * Alexi spits out the sand that got into his mouth while talking.
  14. 06[21:31] * [Rut]K continues to stare with just the top of her head and her eyes visible.
  15. 01[21:32] <Alexi> If you'd like, I wouldn't mind company.
  16. [21:33] <[Rut]K> Advisory of fleshbag humans knowing their limits.
  17. 06[21:33] * Alexi turns around.
  18. 06[21:33] * [Rut]K climbs out, despite herself. She takes a knee next to Alexi.
  19. 01[21:33] <Alexi> My limits are- ow my eyes!
  20. 06[21:34] * Alexi covers them.
  21. 01[21:35] <Alexi> Anyway...
  22. 01[21:35] <Alexi> I'm pretty fine!
  23. [21:36] <[Rut]K> Reminder that functioning optics are prerequisite to lookouts.
  24. 01[21:36] <Alexi> Someone's gotta keep a lookout, though.
  25. [21:36] <Averile> but... I'll be fine though...
  26. [21:38] <[Rut]K> ...
  27. 06[21:38] * [Rut]K turns to Averile. She'd probably look surprised if she were capable of it.
  28. [21:38] <Averile> [I was totally not here.]
  29. [21:38] <[Rut]K> [=-= Oh, okay.]
  30. 01[21:38] <Alexi> A sandstorm like this is the perfect cover for a cunning attack!
  31. 01[21:44] <Alexi> And it'd be a shame if I was caught off guard!
  32. 01[21:44] <Alexi> Right?
  33. [21:44] <[Rut]K> Hypothetical involving enemies having little difficulty overcoming blind, sand battered flesh creatures. Proclamation of my ability to fulfill watch duty with minimal degradation of peripheral awareness in rough conditions.
  34. 01[21:46] <Alexi> You?
  35. 01[21:46] <Alexi> I can't have a girl standing out here in these conditions!
  36. 01[21:46] <Alexi> It's probably terrible for your skin.
  37. [21:50] <[Rut]K> Indignation over the inference that I possess weak dermal layers comparable to fragile organics. Conclusion that my lightweight, high-density, pseudoprotein-polymer combat chassis is superior.
  38. 06[21:51] * [Rut]K sounds... prideful? Hard to say.
  39. 06[21:52] * Alexi pokes her cheek.
  40. 01[21:52] <Alexi> Doesn't feel any different.
  41. [21:53] <[Rut]K> !
  42. 06[21:53] * [Rut]K falls over.
  43. 01[21:53] <Alexi> ...
  44. 01[21:53] <Alexi> Durable, huh?
  45. [21:54] <[Rut]K> ... Vexation at this betrayal.
  46. 01[21:55] <Alexi> Betrayal?
  47. 01[21:55] <Alexi> I just touched you.
  48. 06[21:57] * [Rut]K remains on the ground. It is definitely impossible that she is red in the face, as she doesn't have that functionality. Nope. Definitely not blushing.
  49. 01[21:58] <Alexi> ...
  50. 06[21:58] * Alexi offers his hand.
  51. 01[21:58] <Alexi> Need a help up?
  52. [22:00] <[Rut]K> ... Unpreparedness for unprovoked ambush from perceived friendlies. Insistence that the situation is unindicative of practical combat readiness.
  53. 06[22:00] * [Rut]K gets up on her own. Her gaze is angled down slightly, avoiding eye contact.
  54. 01[22:00] <Alexi> Here, let's step inside for a bit.
  55. 06[22:01] * Alexi jumps down the entry hatch.
  56. 06[22:02] * [Rut]K linger momentarily before following.
  57. [22:02] <[Rut]K> [=-= lingers*]
  58. 06[22:04] * Averile yawns, lazying around...
  59. 02[22:04] * Tesla|backlater ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  60. 06[22:05] * Alexi brushes sand out of his skin.
  61. 01[22:06] <Alexi> Ahhh, guard duty's always rough.
  62. [22:06] <Averile> Totally...
  63. 01[22:07] <Alexi> Yo, Averile

  70. 03[22:07] * Set by Judas on Fri Jan 01 23:05:26
  71. 06[22:08] * [BNS]Emeralda is in the main parlor, laying on the couch, filing her nails
  72. 01[22:08] <Alexi> Anything happen while I was up ther?
  73. [22:08] <[Rut]K> Greeting.
  74. 03[22:09] * Pariah is now known as [par]Alexandria
  75. [22:10] <Averile> Yeah, there was this gigantic talking flame and all..
  76. 01[22:11] <Alexi> What?!
  77. [22:11] <[Rut]K> Distaste for meatbag humor.
  78. 01[22:11] <Alexi> What did it want?
  79. 03[22:12] * mini_Parsee is now known as [Atai]Coureix
  80. 03[22:12] * [Atai]Coureix is now known as mini_Parsee
  81. 06[22:12] * [par]Alexandria yawns and stretches as she walks in
  82. [22:13] <[par]Alexandria> "What's that noise coming from the windows?"
  83. 01[22:13] <Alexi> Sand, probably.
  84. [22:13] <[BNS]Emeralda> Sandstorm.
  85. 01[22:13] <Alexi> But really, what did the thing say?
  86. 06[22:13] * [BNS]Emeralda answers without even looking up from her nails
  87. 01[22:13] <Alexi> Did it challenge me?
  88. [22:13] <Averile> IT wanted to warn us about some silly storm or something..
  89. [22:13] <Averile> I putted it out with some water before it could finish.
  90. 06[22:14] * Alexi nods.
  91. 01[22:14] <Alexi> I see, I see.
  92. [22:14] <[Rut]K> Correction of improper verb tense.
  93. 01[22:15] <Alexi> That's all good then.
  94. [22:15] <Averile> Correction of K's verbal speech is needed as well.
  95. 06[22:15] * Averile glares at K.
  96. 06[22:16] * [Rut]K "glares" (IE looks impassively) back.
  97. 01[22:16] <Alexi> [The doorbell rings]
  98. [22:17] <Averile> ...wait.. how could there be someone ringing our door up this high in the middle of a storm?
  99. 01[22:17] <Alexi> Who could it be at this hour?
  100. 01[22:17] <Alexi> Oh, no, the doorbell's connected to the lift on leg three.
  101. [22:17] <[Rut]K> Recitation of Averlie's concerns.
  102. [22:17] <[Rut]K> [=-= Averile*]
  103. 06[22:18] * [BNS]Emeralda ignores the doorbell
  104. 01[22:19] <Alexi> Well, someone should get that
  105. [22:20] <Averile> Ah...
  106. [22:21] <[Rut]K> Ascendance to meet the command.
  107. 06[22:21] * [Rut]K goes to answer it.
  108. [22:21] <Averile> Go ahead K, if its a serial murderer we'll at least know who it'll be.
  109. 06[22:23] * [Rut]K doesn't get it. She readies herself before opening the door.
  110. 06[22:26] * ~[Tet]Eva stands there, smiling, with one hand holding the handle of a suitcase and the other gripping a handle placed on the wall. "Howdy. Is Alex at home?"
  111. 06[22:28] * [Rut]K brings her arm (now spontaneously ending the the barrel of a mid-calibur autocannon) level to the stranger's face.
  112. [22:29] <[Rut]K> Demand for affirmation of name and objective.
  113. 06[22:29] * ~[Tet]Eva doesn't show any sign of noticing. Come to think of it, her eyes aren't even open.
  114. [22:30] <~[Tet]Eva> "Name's Eva. I'm here for the job."
  115. 01[22:31] <Alexi> Is that Eva's voice?
  116. 06[22:31] * Alexi walks up behind K.
  117. 01[22:31] <Alexi> I cam to see who it was, but...
  118. [22:31] <[Rut]K> ...Request for clarification of "the job". Expression of doubt over not being informed of incoming staff.
  119. [22:32] <~[Tet]Eva> "Oh, there y'are!"
  120. 01[22:32] <Alexi> Eva, it is you!
  121. [22:32] <[Rut]K> ...
  122. 06[22:32] * [Rut]K steps aside.
  123. 06[22:32] * ~[Tet]Eva ducks under the armgun in her face and steps through the door towards Alexi.
  124. 06[22:33] * [Rut]K closes the door behind the guest.
  125. 01[22:34] <Alexi> I didn't expect you to come for few more days, though.
  126. [22:34] <~[Tet]Eva> "Oh? I'm sorry. Do you want me to leave and come back then?"
  127. [22:35] <Averile> hmm?...
  128. 01[22:35] <Alexi> No, it's fine.
  129. 06[22:36] * ~[Tet]Eva readjusts her smile and sing-songs, "Well, okay then."
  130. 01[22:37] <Alexi> Here, let me introduce you.
  131. 06[22:37] * Alexi drags her to the main room.
  132. 06[22:38] * ~[Tet]Eva is literally dragged for a good twenty feet before it occurs to her to move them. Feet, that is.
  133. 01[22:38] <Alexi> Everyone, this is Eva.
  134. [22:38] <[Rut]K> Vocalization of agitation for your recruitment being unannounced prior.
  135. 01[22:38] <Alexi> Eva, this is everyone.
  136. 01[22:38] <Alexi> ...oh, I forgot to tell you guys, sorry.
  137. [22:38] <Averile> Hello Eva, nice to have ya here.
  138. 01[22:39] <Alexi> She'll be living here from now on.
  139. 06[22:39] * ~[Tet]Eva smiles in a general direction. "Howdy."
  140. [22:40] <[Rut]K> Reluctance accompanying the welcoming of the hiree.
  141. [22:42] <~[Tet]Eva> "Feelin's mutual, clanker."
  142. 06[22:42] * [BNS]Emeralda is still tending to her nails
  143. 01[22:43] <Alexi> Hey, hey, don't be like that.
  144. 06[22:43] * ~[Tet]Eva punctuates her insult by punching K lightly on one shoulder. It's really hard to tell how much she meant that.
  145. [22:44] <[Rut]K> Defensive citation of my noiseproofed joint and armor configuration.
  146. 06[22:45] * [Rut]K doesn't budge when punched.
  147. 01[22:45] <Alexi> So, let's all get along, and all that.
  148. 01[22:46] <Alexi> ...Eva, you didn't see any sort of attackers on the way here, right?
  149. [22:48] <~[Tet]Eva> "Nope! Didn't see much of anything at all, actually. Come to think of it, I wonder how I managed to find this place so easily..."
  150. 01[22:49] <Alexi> Well, that's not important.
  151. 01[22:49] <Alexi> Averile, show the girl to her room.
  152. [22:50] <Averile> Yes sir..
  153. 01[22:54] <Alexi> Eva, follow the little girl.
  154. [22:54] <Averile> I.. I am not little!
  155. [22:54] <Averile> Just a shorter Stature..
  156. 06[22:54] * Averile takes the lead.
  157. 06[22:55] * ~[Tet]Eva hops into place behind Averile, inadvertantly underlining the shortness of her stature in doing so.
  158. [22:56] <[Rut]K> Curiosity over how the new arrival could identify Averile's stubbiness, however considerable.
  159. 06[22:57] * Averile takes the long way there.
  160. 06[23:00] * ~[Tet]Eva fills up the time with coversation, or attempts at it. "So, how'd'ya like workin' for Alex? Pretty interestin' guy, ain't he?"
  161. 01[23:03] <Alexi> So, what do you guys think of my... well, my other cousin?
  162. 06[23:03] * [BNS]Emeralda finishes with her nails, then picks up her cigarette holder from the coffee table and lights it
  163. [23:06] <[BNS]Emeralda> Such a crass girl, Alexi. You know she'll be nothing but trouble. Isn't that right, Ally?
  164. 01[23:06] <Alexi> Crass?
  165. 06[23:07] * Averile sighs..
  166. [23:07] <[BNS]Emeralda> Oh come now, don't tell me you've forgotten how /that/ side of the family was brought up.
  167. 01[23:08] <Alexi> No, I'm asking you to define it for me.
  168. [23:09] <[BNS]Emeralda> Country bumpkins, dear cousin. No class, all sass. Such a shame too.
  169. 01[23:10] <Alexi> I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
  170. 01[23:11] <Alexi> Makes them lively.
  171. [23:13] <[par]Alexandria> "Huh? Oh yes of course, big sis."
  172. 06[23:13] * [par]Alexandria seems to have broken out a imaginitive trance
  173. [23:14] <Averile> Well... we're here Eva.
  174. 06[23:14] * Averile stops at this certain door.
  175. [23:15] <[BNS]Emeralda> See? Ally agrees. Your standards are far too low, Alexi. You're lucky Papa sent Ally and I to look after you.
  176. 06[23:15] * [BNS]Emeralda smiles wryly
  177. [23:15] <~[Tet]Eva> "Well! So we are."
  178. 06[23:16] * ~[Tet]Eva pushes the door open and motions through it. "After you, m'dear."
  179. [23:16] <[Rut]K> Questioning whether assistance looking after Emeralda's nails is the primary service provided.
  180. 01[23:17] <Alexi> Lucky? I'm sure I'd get along just fine without you.
  181. 01[23:19] <Alexi> Not that your help isn't appreciated, of course.
  182. 06[23:23] * [BNS]Emeralda turns to Alexandria
  183. [23:23] <[BNS]Emeralda> Ally, our cousin doesn't think he needs us anymore. I'm hurt...
  184. 06[23:23] * [BNS]Emeralda feigns melodrama
  185. [23:23] <Averile> Comrades in useless arms?
  186. [23:23] <[Rut]K> Offer for assistance in packing.
  187. 06[23:24] * Averile looks up to Emeralda.
  188. 03[23:25] * Mentat_Trance ([email protected]) has joined #maidrpg
  189. [23:25] <Averile> [mark my lines then/]
  190. 02[23:26] * Dune ([email protected]) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Mentat_Trance)))
  191. [23:26] <Averile> I apologize for the lengthy walk, I tend to lose my way around here sometimes.
  192. 03[23:26] * Mentat_Trance is now known as Dune
  193. [23:27] <~[Tet]Eva> "Oh, not at all, not at all! Quite refreshing, I found it!" Her arm is still indicating the open doorway, and her smile unwavering.
  194. 06[23:27] * Averile puts on a faint smile.
  195. [23:27] <Averile> Do you need anything else?
  196. 06[23:28] * [par]Alexandria pouts and gives sad puppy eyes to Alexi
  197. 01[23:28] <Alexi> Wait, what?
  198. [23:28] <[par]Alexandria> "You don't want us around?"
  199. 01[23:28] <Alexi> I never said that!
  200. 01[23:28] <Alexi> O-Of course I need you guys!
  201. 06[23:29] * ~[Tet]Eva puts a finger to her lips and hmmmms. "Well, I could use a little help unpacking, maybe."
  202. 06[23:30] * Averile nods.
  203. [23:30] <Averile> Sure thing~
  204. [23:31] <[Rut]K> Clarification that the offer was for packing and not unpacking. Resignation to help for the newcomer's sake...
  205. 06[23:31] * [par]Alexandria grins
  206. [23:31] <[par]Alexandria> "See he loves us, big sis."
  207. [23:32] <~[Tet]Eva> "Great!" Eva bounces through the door ahead of Averile and stops at the bed (although parts of her continue bouncing for a while afterward), tossing her suitcase on top of it.
  208. [23:34] <[BNS]Emeralda> Oh? Oh, thank heavens. It would be absolutely dreadful if we had to go back to Papa and tell him that Cousin Alexi had fallen in with a bad crowd and kicked us out of the house. Such scandal!
  209. 06[23:34] * [BNS]Emeralda puts a finger to her lips
  210. 06[23:35] * Averile glares a bit..
  211. [23:35] <Averile> ...
  212. 01[23:35] <Alexi> What? Of course not!
  213. 01[23:35] <Alexi> And don't tell uncle that, he'd yell at me.
  214. 03[23:35] * mini_Parsee is now known as Kagami_is_out
  215. [23:36] <Averile> So what did Sir Alexis do this time?
  216. [23:37] <[BNS]Emeralda> Oh, cousin. Of /course/ we would never do that... would we, Ally?
  217. 06[23:37] * [BNS]Emeralda lightly brushes Alexi's hair out of his eyes
  218. [23:37] <~[Tet]Eva> "Do?"
  219. [23:37] <Averile> Do?.. I guess.. I don't know...
  220. 06[23:37] * Alexi blushes slightly.
  221. 06[23:38] * ~[Tet]Eva turns around and sits on the edge of the bed next to the unopened suitcase,
  222. 06[23:38] * [Rut]K stands in the doorway, waiting. Watching...
  223. 06[23:38] * [Rut]K is kinda creepy.
  224. [23:39] <Averile> ...you know.. you don't have to just stand there K...
  225. [23:39] <[par]Alexandria> "Nope! We would never lie to daddy, big sis! Daddy hates liars."
  226. 01[23:40] <Alexi> Anyhow!
  227. 01[23:40] <Alexi> Please don't be too cold to her.
  228. 01[23:40] <Alexi> Girls should be treated with respect, even by other girls!
  229. [23:40] <[BNS]Emeralda> Oh, I would never. She /is/ family, after all...
  230. 06[23:42] * ~[Tet]Eva notices K standing there for the first time. "Oh, hello! Come on in!"
  231. 06[23:42] * [Rut]K obeys stiffly. She's still waiting for something. She is also still kinda creepy.
  232. 06[23:44] * [par]Alexandria yawns
  233. [23:44] <[par]Alexandria> "Where are bad guys to shoot, big sis? Aren't we supposed to be in town?"
  234. 06[23:44] * [BNS]Emeralda lightly smokes her cigarette
  235. 01[23:44] <Alexi> We'll be in town tomorrow.
  236. [23:44] <[BNS]Emeralda> Indeed. Patience, Ally.
  237. 01[23:45] <Alexi> And then I'll give you all some spending money.
  238. [23:45] <[Rut]K> http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/740292/ This should be Zerena.
  239. [23:46] <~[Tet]Eva> [=-= good to know]
  240. [23:46] <[Rut]K> [=-= fuck]
  241. [23:48] <[par]Alexandria> "I can't even go outside with this dumb store."
  242. [23:49] <[BNS]Emeralda> Use the spare time to catch up on your studies, then.
  243. [23:49] <[BNS]Emeralda> You /have/ been following up on your studies, haven't you Ally?
  244. 01[23:50] <Alexi> Studies?
  245. [23:52] <[par]Alexandria> "...uh..."
  246. 01[23:52] <Alexi> Are you studying something?
  247. 06[23:53] * [par]Alexandria shrugs and smiles
  248. [23:53] <[par]Alexandria> "Well if big sis says I am then I am."
  249. [23:54] <[BNS]Emeralda> Don't be coy, Ally. You know I'm talking about your schooling.
  250. 01[23:56] <Alexi> Oh, schooling?
  251. 01[23:56] <Alexi> I've never really found that stuff interesting, but whatever works for you.
  252. 06[23:57] * [par]Alexandria laughs
  253. [23:58] <[par]Alexandria> "Yeah its really boring."
  254. 01[23:58] <Alexi> I know. I can take on four thugs at once, but math completely beats me.
  255. Session Time: Sun Sep 12 00:00:01 2010
  256. 06[00:02] * [par]Alexandria counts on her fingers
  257. [00:02] <[par]Alexandria> "That means you're 400 percent more battle effective then a thug."
  258. 01[00:03] <Alexi> Oh?
  259. 01[00:03] <Alexi> You're pretty clever.
  260. 01[00:06] <Alexi> 400 percent, huh?
  261. 01[00:06] <Alexi> THat's a lot of percents.
  262. 06[00:06] * Alexi nods sagely.
  263. 06[00:08] * [par]Alexandria nods
  264. [00:08] <[par]Alexandria> "Uh huh. You're pretty good at thug fighting."
  265. 06[00:09] * Alexi pounds his chest with a fist.
  266. 01[00:09] <Alexi> Well, of course I am.
  267. 01[00:13] <Alexi> But, this huge thing has a lot of complex things about it. I can leave that to you, right?
  268. [00:14] <[par]Alexandria> "What thing?"
  269. 06[00:14] * Alexi stomps.
  270. 01[00:15] <Alexi> THis machine here.
  271. 01[00:15] <Alexi> Can you work with machines?
  272. 06[00:16] * [par]Alexandria shakes her head
  273. 01[00:16] <Alexi> Well, other than working with K.
  274. 01[00:16] <Alexi> That's different.
  275. [00:16] <[par]Alexandria> "K is a good machine."
  276. 06[00:16] * [par]Alexandria smiles
  277. 06[00:16] * Alexi nods.
  278. 01[00:17] <Alexi> She is.
  279. 06[00:22] * [Rut]K feels the urge to sneeze, but does not have lungs. She finds it very strange that she would even think of it.
  280. 02[00:23] * UBOA ([email protected]) Quit
  281. 03[00:23] * UBOA ([email protected]) has joined #maidrpg
  282. 02[00:23] * UBOA ([email protected]) Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
  283. 03[00:33] * Kagami_is_out is now known as mini_Parsee
  284. [00:37] <Averile> So what would you like us to do Eva?.. I'm sure your clothes are personal property.
  285. 06[00:39] * ~[Tet]Eva cocks her head in Averile's direction. "Clothes?"
  286. [00:40] <Averile> Wait...you didn't bring anything with you?...
  287. [00:40] <~[Tet]Eva> "Ohhh, riiiight. Unpacking."
  288. [00:41] <~[Tet]Eva> "Well, I did, yeah, but I can take care of that later. I just felt like hanging out!"
  289. 06[00:41] * Averile shakes her head...geez..
  290. [00:41] <Averile> Well, its a good time to hide from those two.
  291. 06[00:41] * Averile makes herself comfortablwe.
  292. [00:42] <~[Tet]Eva> "Which two?"
  293. 01[00:42] <Alexi> [Unbeknownst to most, shadows begin to creep around the mansion...]
  294. 03[00:44] * mini_Parsee is now known as Shadow
  295. 06[00:44] * Shadow creeps!
  296. 03[00:44] * Shadow is now known as mini_Parsee
  297. [00:46] <Averile> Alexi and k-- I mean...K is such a good girl~
  298. 06[00:46] * Averile shys away.
  299. 02[00:46] * Klaymen ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: zzz)
  300. [00:47] <[Rut]K> ...
  301. 06[00:49] * [Rut]K was not paying full attention. She was running self-diagnostics to be absolutely certain that she has no respiratory system. It's not paranoid! She was just being cautious!
  302. 06[00:50] * ~[Tet]Eva casts her beam between the girl and the android. Ain't that cute~
  303. [00:50] <[Rut]K> ... Apology for my inattentiveness. Request for Averile to repeat herself.
  304. [00:52] <Averile> !!
  305. [00:52] <Averile> Nothing...
  306. [00:56] <~[Tet]Eva> "Aww, don't be like that, girlie."
  307. 03[00:56] * Tesla|backlater ([email protected]) has joined #maidrpg
  308. [00:57] <Averile> N-no!
  309. [00:57] <[Rut]K> Elaboration that the request was to save myself the effort of loading the logged audio. Exasperation over the additional effort necessary...
  310. 06[00:57] * Averile blushes a little.
  311. 03[00:57] * Tesla|backlater is now known as Tesla
  312. 06[00:58] * [par]Alexandria notices the odd shadows but doesn't think much of it
  313. 06[01:00] * ~[Tet]Eva reaches over and musses up Averlie's hair. "C'mooooooon, you said it once already, what's another time?"
  314. [01:01] <Averile> Gah! S-stop taht!
  315. 01[01:05] <Alexi> [Shuriken suddenly fly through the air in a hailstorm of metal death!]
  316. 06[01:06] * [BNS]Emeralda calmly continues to smoke her cigarette.
  317. 06[01:06] * Alexi manages to dive out of the way.
  318. 06[01:06] * [BNS]Emeralda notices one of the curtains in the parlor rustle. She produces her 1903 Springfield rifle and with a single hand, points it at the curtain and fires. A ninja falls out from behind it, dead.
  319. [01:07] <[BNS]Emeralda> Oh, how troublesome.
  320. 01[01:08] <Alexi> Ninjas?!
  321. [01:08] <Averile> !!
  322. 01[01:08] <Alexi> Dirty ninjas, always playing dirty!
  323. 06[01:09] * Averile blocks and gores a ninja in the stomach immediately, falling dead.
  324. 06[01:10] * ~[Tet]Eva continues ruffling Averile's hair, seemingly oblivious to any mortal danger.
  325. [01:10] <[Rut]K> ...Interception calculated.
  326. [01:11] <Averile> ...we're under danger Eva.. please stop.
  327. 06[01:11] * [Rut]K raises her arm in a flash and fires a burst of shots! They knock the shuriken from the air and strike their wielder.
  328. [01:12] <~[Tet]Eva> "Huh? I thought these guys worked here too?"
  329. 01[01:13] <Alexi> Everyone, be on the lookout!
  330. [01:14] <[Rut]K> Enactment of security protocol. Mandate for the displacement of noncombatants to a safe location.
  331. [01:14] <Averile> Seems we got some rat to eradicate K.
  332. 01[01:15] <Alexi> [Ninja suddenly jump out from behind everything conceivable, dozens of them!]
  333. [01:15] <~[Tet]Eva> The sound of gunfire jolts her into awareness. "Oh... I guess not, then. My bad." Letting Averile's head go, she opens her suitcase and rummages around.
  334. [01:16] <[Rut]K> Petition for all staff present to remain within a close proximity to me until the all clear is given.
  335. [01:17] <~[Tet]Eva> "Eek!" Surprised by a ninja jumping out from behind her suitcase, Eva picks it up (the suitcase, not the ninja) and conks it down on a hooded head.
  336. 01[01:18] <Alexi> [One of the ninjas is too quick, and grabs Alexi from behind.]
  337. 01[01:18] <Alexi> Eh? Ah! Leggo!
  338. [01:18] <Averile> Permission denied.
  339. [01:18] <Averile> I'm going to hunt me some rats.
  340. 06[01:19] * ~[Tet]Eva finally finds what she's looking for: a short, very ordinary looking knife.
  341. 06[01:21] * [Rut]K 's arm-cannon rattles nonstop, spraying bullets everywhere. She adjust her aim with methodical-yet-lighting-fast speed between shots. Ninja cannot outsmart boolet.
  342. [01:21] <Averile> Gah! Stop firing so wildly K!
  343. 06[01:22] * Averile keeps low as she exits, looking for the master.
  344. 06[01:23] * ~[Tet]Eva suddenly understands the reasoning behind K's "petition" earlier, and finds it wise. She gets in at the clanker's back and tries to stay there, away from the blasting arm.
  345. 06[01:24] * [BNS]Emeralda points her rifle at the ninja holding onto Alexi and pulls the trigger, rendering the poor schmuck an ex-ninja
  346. [01:24] <[BNS]Emeralda> Cousin, do look alive. We have unwanted visitors.
  347. 01[01:24] <Alexi> Thanks, Em.
  348. 06[01:24] * ~[Tet]Eva holds her knife two-handed and swings at anything in black that comes near.
  349. [01:25] <[BNS]Emeralda> What have I told you about calling me that?
  350. 01[01:25] <Alexi> What do you want to be called, then?
  351. [01:26] <[Rut]K> Insincere call after Averile to wait up.
  352. [01:27] <[Rut]K> Conclusion that the room has been cleared. Announcement of intention to continue the sweep.
  353. 06[01:27] * [BNS]Emeralda sighs, shaking her head in disdain as she works the bolt on her rifle to reload
  354. [01:27] <[BNS]Emeralda> Oh, cousin...
  355. 06[01:28] * [BNS]Emeralda locks the bolt closed and turns to Alexandria
  356. [01:28] <~[Tet]Eva> "I'm right behind ya on that!"
  357. 01[01:29] <Alexi> What?
  358. [01:29] <[BNS]Emeralda> Ally, do pay attention. After all, you're the one that was asking me when can could get the chance to use some miscreants for target practice.
  359. 06[01:29] * [Rut]K takes Eva by the arm with a rigid lack of gentleness and leads her out of the room, following Averile.
  360. 06[01:30] * Averile takes a look around... she's paranoid at this point.
  361. 06[01:30] * Alexi uppercuts a ninja into the ceiling while looking at Emeralda
  362. 06[01:30] * [Rut]K bumps into Averile from behind when she slows her pace. K doesn't blink...
  363. [01:31] <Averile> 14 Hey!... gah!
  364. 06[01:31] * Averile watches a ninja notice her and get away.
  365. 01[01:33] <Alexi> You still haven't told me, Em.
  366. [01:34] <[Rut]K> Suggestion to move on.
  367. [01:34] <Averile> You little! AHH!!!
  368. 06[01:34] * Averile wants to strangle K so badly
  369. [01:35] <~[Tet]Eva> "I'm just followin' you two, dunno my way around. Where we goin', anyway?"
  370. [01:36] <[BNS]Emeralda> Alexi, I've told you more times than I can count. Call me /anything/ but Em. I am not a letter. I am a /lady/. And you are a /gentleman/. It is /unbecoming/ of you not to use proper nomenclature.
  371. 06[01:36] * [BNS]Emeralda casually points the rifle out to her side, shooting down another ninja
  372. 06[01:37] * [Rut]K misreads Averile's body language. She attempt to move forward again, and bumps into her. Again.
  373. [01:37] <[Rut]K> [=-= attempts*]
  374. 01[01:37] <Alexi> What about Al, then?
  375. [01:37] <Averile> STOP THAT!
  376. 06[01:37] * Alexi dragon-kicks a ninja.
  377. 06[01:38] * [BNS]Emeralda sighs again
  378. 06[01:38] * [Rut]K moves like a wind up toy made to walk against a wall. The wall being Averile.
  379. [01:39] <[Rut]K> ...
  380. 06[01:39] * [Rut]K stops, finally.
  381. [01:39] <[Rut]K> Expression of the possibility of a misunderstanding.
  382. 06[01:40] * ~[Tet]Eva is finding the comedy act more entertaining than the ninja play.
  383. [01:41] <Averile> God damn you little fuckng--AHH!
  384. 06[01:41] * Averile is totally steaming now.
  385. [01:42] <[Rut]K> ...
  386. 06[01:43] * [Rut]K tilts her head to the side a little, still with her ever-present blank expression.
  387. 01[01:44] <Alexi> Is there an end to these guys?
  388. 06[01:44] * Alexi punches one ninja into another one
  389. 06[01:45] * [BNS]Emeralda stares disapprovingly at Alexi, still unnaturally calm as she unflinchingly blocks a ninja star aimed at her head with the stock of her rifle, then returns fire
  390. 01[01:46] <Alexi> What's with that look?
  391. 06[01:48] * ~[Tet]Eva steps in between the quarreling lovers. "Alright, fun's fun, but we're still under attack. I ain't particularly worried about Alex's chances against these clowns, but seems t'be our job t'make sure he ain't hurt, right?"
  392. [01:50] <Averile> Yes.
  393. [01:50] <Averile> Let's go!
  394. 06[01:50] * Averile goes forth!
  395. 06[01:50] * ~[Tet]Eva goes after!
  396. [01:51] <[Rut]K> ...Confirmation of the aforementioned misunderstanding....
  397. 06[01:51] * [Rut]K goes after, after.
  398. 06[01:51] * ~[Tet]Eva doesn't seem to realize slash mind that she's following someone who's admitted to getting lost frequently, either!
  399. 06[01:53] * [BNS]Emeralda blocks a ninja's katana swipe with her gun barrel and ripostes with a rifle butt across the jaw, still looking nothing but the epitome of grace. Her cigarette not even drop!
  400. [01:55] <[Rut]K> Proclamation of our arrival.
  401. 01[01:55] <Alexi> K!
  402. 01[01:55] <Alexi> Is everyone else safe?
  403. [01:55] <~[Tet]Eva> "I'm safe!"
  404. 06[01:56] * Averile has a red face due to a CERTAIN SOMEONE but is mostly fine.
  405. [01:56] <Averile> Yes..
  406. 06[01:56] * [Rut]K doesn't answer, as that has been done for her.
  407. 01[01:58] <Alexi> Good!
  408. 01[01:58] <Alexi> How's the ninja situation outside?
  409. 03[02:00] * Pygmalion[INACTIVE] is now known as Pygmalion
  410. [02:01] <[Rut]K> Report that the status of the castle exterior is unconfirmed. Resolution to continue with a full perimeter sweep, if the interior is secure.
  411. [02:01] <Averile> It's not... I hope it is though..
  412. 06[02:01] * Averile sighs.
  413. 06[02:01] * [BNS]Emeralda shoots the last ninja off the chandelier, it lands in front of the group with a thump
  414. [02:01] <[BNS]Emeralda> I do believe that's the last one.
  415. 01[02:02] <Alexi> Alright, spread out and check for any remaining enemies!
  416. 01[02:03] <Alexi> [THe search returns negative. It seems that's it.]
  417. [02:03] <Averile> Thank god...
  418. [02:04] <[Rut]K> Issuance of the all clear.
  419. 06[02:08] * Alexi sighs.
  420. 01[02:08] <Alexi> Glad that's over with/
  421. [02:10] <[Rut]K> Expression of mild surprise, having been under the impression that Master Alexi enjoyed such things.
  422. 01[02:10] <Alexi> I do.
  423. [02:10] <Averile> That was not fun at all!
  424. 01[02:10] <Alexi> But the feeling of havin beaten down all their asses was even better!
  425. 01[02:12] <Alexi> Aw, Averile, you don't like those kinds of things?
  426. [02:14] <Averile> well.. I...I sorta do but.. it was all unexpected and all!
  427. [02:14] <~[Tet]Eva> "Ain't that kinda the point? Of ninjas, I mean?"
  428. 01[02:15] <Alexi> Yeah.
  429. 01[02:15] <Alexi> Averile, you have to always be prepared!
  430. [02:16] <Averile> Tch..I wanted to use my minigun after all..
  431. [02:16] <Averile> Bastards died too quickly..
  432. [02:17] <[Rut]K> Summation that they were not adequate use of the munitions expended to kill them.
  433. [02:17] <[Rut]K> Additional curiosity over why they would target us.
  434. 01[02:18] <Alexi> Well, I do make a lot of enemies.
  435. 01[02:21] <Alexi> That's probably it.
