Eriko Last Night

[10:36pm] Puppetmaster: June looks a bit nervous. She drums her fingers on her knee. "Eriko, can I ask you a question?"
[10:36pm] Alivi: She looks over
[10:36pm] Alivi: "Ah…um….s-sure…?"
[10:36pm] Puppetmaster: "What kinds of things would Ralph want for his birthday?"
[10:36pm] Alivi: "…o-oh..."
[10:37pm] Alivi: Eriko just hugs her knees.
[10:37pm] Tehpillowstar: "Yeah."
[10:37pm] Gara: Loren is thre!
[10:37pm] Tehpillowstar: "Last time there were bugs from the pool, it was this gigantic buzzing insect that zoomed around."
[10:37pm] Puppetmaster: June brushes some hair behind her ear.
[10:38pm] Puppetmaster: "I was just wondering... Because I don't know what he likes... So..."
[10:39pm] Kuroiten: Corwin nods. "Just one would be easier to deal with, I bet," he comments.
[10:39pm] Tehpillowstar: "It wasn't easy to deal with. Its exoskeleton was impervious to armor."
[10:41pm] Tehpillowstar: *to bullets
[10:42pm] Puppetmaster: "I know you're already getting him birding stuff... Is there anything else he likes?"
[10:42pm] Alivi: "Um….hm…."
[10:43pm] Kuroiten: Corwin winces. "Never mind, that would be harder," he says. "Was it impervious to being struck with heavy objects?"
[10:43pm] Alivi: "Before…he wore hat….he like apples…birds…..gemus…..shades….dancing…."
[10:44pm] Puppetmaster: "... Hat..."
[10:44pm] Puppetmaster: "Hmm."
[10:45pm] Tehpillowstar: "Have you ever tried chucking heavy objects at a flying bug?"
[10:46pm] Alivi: "…he like….hat…."
[10:46pm] Kuroiten: Corwin laughs. "I've never had the opportunity," he replies. "I was thinking more, y'know, waiting for it to get close and hitting it with a baseball bat."
[10:46pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at June a bit worried.
[10:47pm] Alivi: Eriko looks down.
[10:47pm] Alivi: She looks at Loren.
[10:47pm] Alivi: "He likes apples though."
[10:47pm] Alivi: "He really likes apples."
[10:48pm] Puppetmaster: June mumbles quietly. "Apples and hats..."
[10:48pm] Alivi: "Apples..."
[10:48pm] Gara: "Hi."
[10:48pm] Tehpillowstar: "Stoat and I killed it."
[10:49pm] Alivi: "Loren-san…is this…western custom?"
[10:49pm] Kuroiten: "With fire?" he asks. His food is mostly gone at this point.
[10:50pm] Gara: "What is?"
[10:50pm] Tehpillowstar: 'No, I sliced off its snout-thing and then Stoat chucked a sharp rock at the resulting wound."
[10:50pm] Alivi: Eriko gestures to june.
[10:50pm] Gara: She hasn't been paying attention.
[10:50pm] Alivi: Eriko seems worried.
[10:50pm] Alivi: "A-ah..."
[10:51pm] Puppetmaster: June looks very confused...
[10:51pm] Gara: "Apple hat?"
[10:51pm] Kuroiten: "...snout thing. Huh," he replies after a drink of milk. "Must have been an odd bug."
[10:51pm] Alivi: Eriko just seems a bit freaked.
[10:52pm] Alivi: "June…san...?"
[10:52pm] Puppetmaster: "Um... I... What's the problem?"
[10:52pm] Alivi: "A-ah…nothing nothing…just…a bit confused."
[10:52pm] Alivi: "I am sorry."
[10:52pm] Alivi: "I do not understand much here."
[10:53pm] Puppetmaster: "What did you think was going on?"
[10:53pm] Alivi: "I do not intend to offend. I am sorry."
[10:53pm] Alivi: "Ah…nothing just confused. You seem very worried about gift for Ralph."
[10:53pm] Soulless joined the chat room.
[10:53pm] Soulless was promoted to half-operator by ChanServ.
[10:54pm] Puppetmaster: "Because I... don't want him to keep disliking me. He's my friend."
[10:54pm] Alivi: "Ralph does not dislike you…you like Ralph?"
[10:55pm] Puppetmaster: "I want to be his friend, yes."
[10:55pm] Alivi: "Ahhh….so it is giri gift?"
[10:55pm] Puppetmaster: "... Huh?"
[10:57pm] Alivi: "I just do not understand…I mean on Valentine's day, yes. Giri. But….you are giving him birthday gift?"
[10:58pm] Puppetmaster: "Um... Yes?"
[10:58pm] Gara: "Oh! Yes, that's a western thing."
[10:58pm] Alivi: "…really? So you give regular gift like apple. or food?"
[10:59pm] Puppetmaster: "Uh, well, I wasn't going to give him an apple. I was thinking something apple themed, you know?"
[11:00pm] Alivi: "Apple...theme?"
[11:00pm] Puppetmaster: "Um, yeah. I could probably find a hat that looks like an apple... is what I was thinking."
[11:01pm] Alivi: "…a-ah…"
[11:01pm] 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!)
[11:01pm] Alivi: "….such a nice gift..."
[11:02pm] Puppetmaster: "Yeah, that's what I thought."
[11:02pm] Alivi: "….I….I see.."
[11:04pm] Alivi: Eriko doesn't look too well.
[11:04pm] Kuroiten: Corwin finishes off his food. "This should be an interesting assignment," he says, and he doesn't sound unhappy about it.
[11:04pm] Puppetmaster: "Um... I... What's wrong?"
[11:04pm] Tehpillowstar: "I guess you can say that."
[11:05pm] Puppetmaster: June looks uncomfortable.
[11:05pm] Candescent joined the chat room.
[11:05pm] Alivi: "…nothing nothing. You are good …..friend….yes."
[11:05pm] Alivi: "But I just hope you do not spend too much money."
[11:06pm] Puppetmaster: "It shouldn't be too expensive..."
[11:06pm] Alivi: "But it might be more expensive than wagashi or girichoco..."
[11:07pm] Puppetmaster: "... I'm sorry, I don't know what those mean."
[11:07pm] Alivi: "Ah…they are gifts."
[11:07pm] Uncandescent left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[11:07pm] Alivi: "Wagashi is sweets and giri-choco is type of chocolate gift given."
[11:08pm] Puppetmaster: "It might cost more than chocolate, I don't know..."
[11:08pm] Tehpillowstar: Chloe gets up, clears out her dishes and heads to the rec
[11:08pm] Kuroiten: Corwin shrugs and follows suit. Time for coffee and camraderie.
[11:08pm] Kuroiten: *camaraderie
[11:09pm] Alivi: "Ahh….I see….I see..."
[11:09pm] Tehpillowstar: She enters and sits down at the couch.
[11:09pm] Puppetmaster: June's there looking awkward. "Hi Chloe."
[11:10pm] Tehpillowstar: "What are you talking about?"
[11:10pm] Kuroiten: Corwin heads for the coffee. ~...and of course, I forgot a mug.~ He sighs and gets another styrofoam cup.
[11:10pm] Alivi: "I just don't want you to go through so much trouble."
[11:10pm] Aphex_ left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer)
[11:10pm] Puppetmaster: "I'm trying to find out what to get for Ralph's birthday." Then to Eriko. "It's not a problem, really."
[11:11pm] Alivi: Chloe might note Eriko is looking a bit flustered. She smiles nonetheless. "Ahhh even so..."
[11:11pm] Tehpillowstar: "Oh, that's very nice Eriko."
[11:12pm] Tehpillowstar: "I will try to remember that so I can wish him a happy birthday."
[11:12pm] Kuroiten: Corwin sloshes some coffee into a styrofoam cup, and tops it off with some creamer and a dash of sugar. He looks for a comfortable spot within range of conversation, and nods greetings to Eriko and June.
[11:12pm] Alivi: "Please wish him happy birthday I am sure he will like it. I am just concerned. June-san is planning on expensive gift. It seems so troublesome. I worry."
[11:12pm] Wogglebug: *science*
[11:12pm] Xiao joined the chat room.
[11:13pm] Tehpillowstar: "Oh, June, you shouldn't go through the trouble..."
[11:13pm] Puppetmaster: "It wouldn't be expensive, it's just a hat..."
[11:13pm] Tehpillowstar: "I think it would be better if we all got a cake for him, instead of giving him a present."
[11:14pm] Alivi: Eriko nods. "Ah….cake sounds lovely. I am sure he would love cake."
[11:14pm] Tehpillowstar: "If you need help baking it, June and I would love to help, wouldn't we?" Chloe asks June.
[11:15pm] Puppetmaster: "Sure, definitely!" June realizes an instant later she knows nothing about cooking.
[11:15pm] Alivi: "You probably know western style cake more than I do. I am sure with your help. He would really enjoy cake."
[11:19pm] Candescent left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[11:22pm] Uncandescent joined the chat room.
[11:22pm] Puppetmaster: June thinks about it a sec. "Can we make an apple cake?"
[11:22pm] Alivi: "Ahhhh that is good idea."
[11:23pm] Puppetmaster: June still has the most confused, awkward face ever.
[11:23pm] Uncandescent: DT is face down on his bunk, fast asleep and mumbling incoherently.
[11:24pm] Soulless: Stoat heads into the rec room.
[11:24pm] Soulless: She looks around a little hesitantly.
[11:24pm] Puppetmaster: June's there being uncomfortable.
[11:25pm] Tehpillowstar: Chloe glances to Stoat, then shrugs.
[11:25pm] Kuroiten: Corwin is listening to the conversation. He raises his cup of coffee in greeting.
[11:25pm] Nioki_AWAY is now known as Nioki.
[11:26pm] Uncandescent: DT starts awake, and paws for his PDA at his bedside table.
[11:27pm] Puppetmaster: June notices Stoat. Instant, smiling relief covers her face. "Hey, Stoat!"
[11:27pm] Alivi: "Stoat-san!" eriko waves.
[11:27pm] Alivi: "June-san was talking about giving Ralph a cake. She is very thoughtful."
[11:28pm] Puppetmaster: ~Well, guess the hat's a bad idea for... some... reason...~
[11:30pm] Tehpillowstar: "Stoat-ssi!" Chloe waves shyly.
[11:30pm] Tehpillowstar: Chloe gives a ~I will explain later~ look to June.
[11:30pm] Alivi: "Stoat-san when will we start gardening?"
[11:33pm] Tehpillowstar is now known as TehpillowAFK.
[11:36pm] Uncandescent left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[11:36pm] Uncandescent joined the chat room.
[11:37pm] Soulless: Stoat looks to Eriko.
[11:37pm] Soulless: "...Uh. Whenever." She looks a little awkward at all this attention from Eriko and June and Chloe.
[11:38pm] Soulless: She waves to June and Chloe and Eriko, with three hands. "...Hi."
[11:38pm] Alivi: "Ah okay…" Stoat you might notice since you are close to Eriko. But she is looking stressed
[11:38pm] Xiao left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
[11:38pm] Xiao joined the chat room.
[11:38pm] Soulless: "...What's wrong." To Eriko.
[11:39pm] Alivi: "A…ah…just worried…Ralph left in middle of the night. He is at new site..."
[11:39pm] Alivi: She glances at June
[11:41pm] Puppetmaster: June's still smiling, but has eyes that say 'help me I don't know what's going on'.
[11:43pm] Kuroiten: Corwin senses the veiled undercurrents of hidden meaning, but they are beyond him. He shrugs at Stoat before downing some coffee.
[11:44pm] Puppetmaster: One looking more closely at the eyes might see they add 'but it has something to do with hats'.
[11:45pm] Gara: Loren snaps back into paying attention.
[11:46pm] Alivi: "June-san..."
[11:46pm] Puppetmaster: "Yes?"
[11:46pm] Alivi: "I look forward to cooking with you."
[11:47pm] Puppetmaster: "Oh, um, thank you!"
[11:47pm] Puppetmaster: June's smile broadens a bit.
[11:47pm] Alivi: Eriko smiles as well. She nods
[11:49pm] Puppetmaster: June stretches and settles into her seat better.
[11:49pm] Candescent joined the chat room.
[11:51pm] Candescent left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[11:51pm] Uncandescent left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[11:52pm] Soulless: "...."
[11:52pm] Soulless: She pats Eriko, then to June. "...Cooking."
[11:52pm] Alivi: Eriko looks over at June.
[11:52pm] Puppetmaster: "I... don't really know how to do that."
[11:53pm] Alivi: "…eh?"
[11:53pm] Puppetmaster: "I'm... inexperienced with cooking."
[11:54pm] Kuroiten: Corwin sips more coffee, watching the conversation going back and forth like a tennis match.
[11:54pm] Alivi: "Then….why offer to help make cake...?"
[11:55pm] Puppetmaster: "Um... I'm sure I can help somehow..."
[11:55pm] Alivi: "Okay."
[11:55pm] Alivi: Eriko smiles.
[11:56pm] Puppetmaster: June smiles nervously. "Yeah, I... We had cooks for that."
[11:57pm] Soulless: "...So we are cooking now."
[11:57pm] Alivi: "cooks?"
[11:57pm] Alivi: "Ah no when Ralph returns..."
[11:57pm] Alivi: Eriko takes a shakey breath as she says that.
[11:58pm] Alivi: She realizes it is night time.
[11:58pm] Puppetmaster: "Uh, yeah, like... chefs?"
[11:58pm] Alivi: "I….I….see?" She doesnt get it at all
[11:58pm] Kuroiten: Corwin interjects. "Someone else to do the cooking for them."
[11:58pm] Soulless: She hugs Eriko awkwardly to try and cam her down.
[11:58pm] Puppetmaster: "Yes, that."
[11:59pm] Puppetmaster: June has a bit of an... odd expression at that.
[11:59pm] Alivi: Eriko is breathing a bit funny, as if she is attempting to calm herself down as the panic wells up inside of her.
[12:01am] Puppetmaster: June looks concerned now. She stands up, immediately in doctor mode. "Are you alright?"
[12:02am] Alivi: Eriko doesn't seem able to respond.
[12:02am] Gara: "Eriko, hey... Want to go talk?"
[12:03am] Puppetmaster: June looks at Eriko's breathing. Does it look like it could become a problem, medically speaking, or is it just a bit off?
[12:03am] Alivi: Its consistant with a panic attack
[12:04am] Puppetmaster: June walks up to Eriko, sits next to her, and puts a hand on her shoulder. "I know you're panicking, but I need you to try to calm down, alright?
[12:04am] Puppetmaster: "
[12:04am] Kuroiten: Corwin looks at Eriko with a raised eyebrow. "You might want to let go of her, Stoat," he says.
[12:04am] Puppetmaster: "Control your breathing. Slow, deep breaths."
[12:06am] Alivi: She seems to be having some difficulties but it is slowly getting better. She has tears welling up.
[12:07am] Puppetmaster: "It's alright, everything's going to be fine..."
[12:07am] Puppetmaster: "It's all going to be okay."
[12:08am] Puppetmaster: "Want some tea? Tea helps you calm down, yeah?" She turns to the rest of the room.
[12:09am] Alivi: "Im sorry….Im so sorry..."
[12:10am] Puppetmaster: "It's not your fault. It's no one's fault."
[12:10am] Alivi: "I don't want to be alone…"
[12:11am] Puppetmaster: "Loren, make us some tea real quick, yeah?"
[12:11am] Puppetmaster: "You're not alone, Eriko. You have us."
[12:11am] Gara: "Yes." She makes tea/
[12:11am] Alivi: "No….I mean...'
[12:13am] Puppetmaster: "You're afraid of losing Ralph?"
[12:15am] Gara: Tea is distributed.
[12:16am] Alivi: "We've….never been….seperated…..like this...."
[12:16am] Puppetmaster: June nods thanks to Loren and hands a cup to Eriko.
[12:16am] Alivi: "Not after what happened, before…yes. Not now...'"
[12:17am] Puppetmaster: "I'm so sorry. It must be hard."
[12:18am] Kuroiten: Corwin looks awkward, sipping his coffee and listening to Eriko's troubles.
[12:18am] Alivi: "Im sorry..."
[12:19am] Puppetmaster: "Again, it's not your fault. This is fine. In a situation like this, stress is natural."
[12:20am] Gara: "We'll do whatever we can to make this comfortable for you."
[12:20am] Alivi: "I just dont want…."
[12:21am] Puppetmaster: "Hey." June smiles. "Cheer up, right? Ralph is gonna be home soon, and then it'll be like this never happened. No reason to worry."
[12:22am] Alivi: "I need himmm…"
[12:22am] Alivi: "What if it happens again."
[12:22am] Alivi: "I don't want it to..."
[12:22am] Puppetmaster: "Then he'll be right home, again. And everything'll be fine."
[12:23am] Gara: "I know this is really a new thing for you, but we'll take as much care of you as we can, then he'll be home."
[12:23am] Puppetmaster: "See? You've got friends here to help you through this."
[12:23am] Alivi: "I'm going to see it again I don't want to see it again."
[12:24am] Puppetmaster: "See what?"
[12:24am] Gara: "No, Eriko, I'll make sure you won't."
[12:25am] Alivi: Eriko looks at June. "All of them…" she whispers.
[12:25am] Alivi: And June that is the most haunted you have ever seen Eriko look.
[12:25am] Kuroiten: "All of what?" Corwin asks.
[12:26am] Puppetmaster: June gives Corwin a glance like 'dude, no'.
[12:26am] Strife joined the chat room.
[12:26am] Alivi: "….The people in medical….we had barricaded….we couldn't stay…teeth…hands….everywhere…..begging they were begging but we couldn't."
[12:26am] Alivi: She starts panicking again.
[12:26am] Soulless: Stoat keeps hugging Eriko.
[12:26am] Soulless: :(
[12:26am] Alivi: "All of them died…the blood….from doors..."
[12:26am] Soulless: oh wait
[12:26am] Soulless: redact that
[12:27am] Gara: "Eriko, it's okay, he's going to be okay, he's going to be back and it will be okay."
[12:27am] Soulless: She lets go and tries to pat Eriko instead.
[12:27am] Soulless: She's really awkward.
[12:27am] Gara: ~God /fucking/ damn it fresh meat will you please shut your goddamn mouth.~
[12:27am] Soulless: "...It's going to be ok."
[12:28am] Puppetmaster: "If Loren says you won't see it again, you won't see it again."
[12:28am] Alivi: "Ralph he was with me entire time…we held hand to keep together…it is why we buried together…he made sure I was alive…and warm even when I was…."
[12:28am] Puppetmaster: ~Oh God please let that statement be right.~
[12:28am] Alivi: She begins sobbing. "I need him here….he is only one..."
[12:29am] Puppetmaster: It's June's turn to hug Eriko, and she does.
[12:29am] Kuroiten: Corwin nods slowly. "What makes you think anything will keep him from coming back?" he asks.
[12:29am] Puppetmaster: June might stab Corwin later.
[12:30am] Alivi: "….It is pool…it will find way..."
[12:30am] Gara: Loren might stab Corwin now.
[12:30am] Gara: "Corwin. Out please."
[12:30am] Puppetmaster: If there were eyes on the back of June's head, she'd be staring daggers.
[12:31am] Alivi: "Im sorry…." She whispers between sobs.
[12:31am] Puppetmaster: "Ralph's going to be fine. Nowhere's more dangerous than here. If anything, he's safer there."
[12:31am] Puppetmaster: "He'll come back just fine."
[12:31am] Alivi: "What if he doesn't come back???"
[12:31am] Alivi: "What if he stay there and make me come with him away."
[12:32am] Alivi: "Or he just stay there."
[12:32am] Alivi: "Or if when he come back something happen."
[12:32am] Gara: "He /will/ come back."
[12:32am] Puppetmaster: June leans back and grabs Eriko's shoulders. She looks at Eriko sternly. "He'll come back."
[12:32am] Gara: "Even if I have to hunt him down and drag him back myself, he's coming back."
[12:32am] Alivi: Eriko seems surprised.
[12:32am] Alivi: She sniffles.
[12:32am] Alivi: She just nods.
[12:33am] Soulless: She looks so baddled.
[12:33am] Soulless: *baffled
[12:33am] Puppetmaster: June hugs Eriko again.
[12:33am] TehpillowAFK: Chloe was there, the entire time
[12:33am] Soulless: She so cannot even deal. She just keeps patting Eriko, trying to make her feel better.
[12:33am] Puppetmaster: Chloe has tea.
[12:34am] Alivi: Eriko just curls up.
[12:34am] Kuroiten: Corwin gives Loren a flat look. He takes a deep, calming breath, and exhales. "At least she has someone to worry about," he says in a quiet, level tone before standing. "I am sorry. I'll be in Medical."
[12:35am] Alivi: Eriko looks at Corwin.
[12:35am] Kuroiten: Corwin picks up his coffee and, after an apologetic look to Eriko, heads to Medical.
[12:35am] Gara: "Thank you."
[12:35am] Soulless: "..."
[12:35am] Alivi: "…I hope he is okay..."
[12:36am] Alivi: she says softly.
[12:36am] Soulless: She is halfway tempted to smack Corwin for that shit. She had a lover die on her just a few weeks ago.
[12:36am] Alivi: "Do you think….he misses me?"
[12:36am] Puppetmaster: ~He won't be after I'm done with him.~
[12:36am] Puppetmaster: "Absolutely."
[12:36am] Soulless: "...Yes."
[12:36am] Alivi: "I just wish I said goodbye."
[12:36am] Soulless: Corwin, roll agility!
[12:37am] Puppetmaster: "Why say goodbye when you can say hello once he's back?"
[12:37am] Puppetmaster: "It'll be like he was never even gone."
[12:37am] Kuroiten: 6df+4 And out of left field...
[12:37am] Glacon: Kuroiten: And out of left field...: 2 (6df+4=0, 0, 0, 0, -, -)
[12:37am] Alivi: "But…"
[12:38am] Soulless: 6df+4
[12:38am] Glacon: Soulless: 3 (6df+4=0, +, 0, -, -, 0)
[12:38am] AgentFlowers: Lily reclines on her bed, reading a book.
[12:38am] Soulless: One of Stoat's gloves slaps Corwin's coffee out of his hands, splashing the hot coffee on his shirt.
[12:38am] TehpillowAFK: "Eriko...you'll be okay."
[12:39am] Alivi: "…Loren-san….Stoat-san….I can stay with you?"
[12:39am] Kuroiten: 6df+6 OW OW OW HOT
[12:39am] Glacon: Kuroiten: OW OW OW HOT: 9 (6df+6=0, +, +, 0, 0, +)
[12:39am] Gara: Loren smiles, for just a moment, then frowns.
[12:39am] Gara: "Yes, Eriko."
[12:39am] Soulless: It's just coffee, so it hurts like a motherfucker but it's not really gonna burn.
[12:40am] Alivi: Eriko sniffles.
[12:40am] Soulless: Stoat seems to have lost her focus, since she is exclusively looking to Eriko while her hands have their angry shenanigans. "...Yes. That's fine."
[12:40am] Alivi: "Can we go in the room?"
[12:40am] Wogglebug: Arthur sits in his lab, trying to increase the efficiency and reliability of the power core.
[12:40am] Alivi: roll science!
[12:41am] Soulless: "...Ok."
[12:41am] Kuroiten: Corwin inhales sharply. Nothing permanent, but OW.
[12:41am] Puppetmaster: June pulls away from the hug.
[12:41am] Wogglebug: 6df+12 The usj.
[12:41am] Soulless: Corwin, roll agility once more!
[12:41am] Glacon: Wogglebug: The usj.: 12 (6df+12=0, -, 0, +, +, -)
[12:41am] Alivi: "Thank you...
[12:41am] Alivi: Eriko gets up.
[12:42am] Alivi: She leaves to go get some things.
[12:42am] Alivi: Looks like it is coming along greatly Arthur!
[12:43am] Kuroiten: Corwin clenches his teeth to prevent a shout of pain from escaping and makes his way to Medical. ~God/dammit/, Corwin, letting your mouth run before your brain.~
[12:43am] Puppetmaster: June sighs in relief once she's gone and grabs her tea. "That went well, I think."
[12:44am] Kuroiten: 6df+4 Round Two
[12:44am] Glacon: Kuroiten: Round Two: 3 (6df+4=0, 0, 0, 0, -, 0)
[12:44am] Soulless: 6df+4 You forgot about the other hand
[12:44am] Alivi: You manage to get it so that the power core is lasting longer while using a minimum amount of energy. Super efficient.
[12:44am] Glacon: Soulless: You forgot about the other hand: 4 (6df+4=0, -, +, +, -, 0)
[12:44am] Puppetmaster: June sips her tea quietly, frowning a bit. It's a little cold now.
[12:44am] Wogglebug: ~Woo.~
[12:45am] Alivi: Perception Arthur
[12:45am] Wogglebug: Arthur decides to take a b-
[12:45am] Wogglebug: 6df+8 Huh?
[12:45am] Glacon: Wogglebug: Huh?: 6 (6df+8=0, -, -, 0, 0, 0)
[12:45am] Alivi: Out of the corner of his eye he sees a white rabbit. Moving in the corner of the room
[12:45am] Soulless: Stoat's other extra hand slaps him across the face. It's audible, and hurts a shitload, but no real damage. The hands quickly go back to Stoat as she gets up to follow Eriko.
[12:46am] Wogglebug: Arthur turns, aims with gun.
[12:46am] Alivi: Nothing is there
[12:46am] Wogglebug: ~Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.~
[12:46am] Wogglebug: <<Pretty sure I just hallucinated a white rabbit in my lab. Might be anomalous. Everyone be on your toes.>>
[12:47am] Wogglebug: Arthur sets down the core and heads off to the rec room.
[12:47am] Gara: <<Understood.>>
[12:47am] Kuroiten: Corwin turns his face with the slap, but still. OW. Tears bead in his eyes, but he refuses to make a sound, other than a strangled, "I'm sorry."
[12:48am] Soulless: If the hands could hear (they can't) they don't react to the apology, and Stoat seems entirely unaware her hands just did that.
[12:48am] Soulless: <<Ok.>>
[12:49am] Kuroiten: Corwin rubs his face with his free hand as he heads towards A-Block. <<Roger that,>> he replies on the radio.
[12:49am] Wogglebug: <<Who's that, last guy?>>
[12:49am] Puppetmaster: "Anomalous rabbit. Heard a delirious patient muttering about that once."
[12:49am] Soulless: <<New guy.>>
[12:50am] Wogglebug: <<Aight.>>
[12:50am] Alivi: Eriko comes out of her room and goes to lily and stoats and Loren';s room
[12:50am] Alivi: she knocks
[12:51am] Wogglebug: Does Arthur arrive in rec in one piece?
[12:51am] Alivi: yuuup
[12:52am] Wogglebug: Who's there?
[12:52am] Kuroiten: Arthur might pass the new guy, with coffee down his shirt and a slap-mark on his face. "Long story."
[12:52am] TehpillowAFK: Chloe
[12:52am] Soulless: Stoat (assuming she waited for Eriko there) answers.
[12:52am] Soulless: "Hey."
[12:52am] Puppetmaster: June is. She looks in distaste at Arthur.
[12:52am] Wogglebug: He waves weakly at Chloe.
[12:52am] Gara: "Hi Arthur."
[12:53am] Wogglebug: "Hey Loren."
[12:53am] TehpillowAFK: Chloe nods back
[12:53am] Wogglebug: "Didn't you say you wanted to talk about somein'?"
[12:53am] AgentFlowers left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[12:53am] Puppetmaster: June finishes her tea. "Someone tell me how Eriko's doing in a bit. I'm going to work out."
[12:53am] Wogglebug: He sits down somewhere.
[12:53am] Gara: "Oh yeah."
[12:53am] Puppetmaster: June stands and walks out.
[12:53am] Alivi: "Hi…."
[12:53am] AgentFlowers joined the chat room.
[12:53am] Alivi: Eriko looks down, "M…may I come in?"
[12:53am] AgentFlowers was promoted to half-operator by ChanServ.
[12:54am] Gara: "Now, I've been dealing with a captured skip. He makes androids. He wasn't an apprentice."
[12:54am] Soulless: "Yes."
[12:54am] Gara: {Lil, Eriko needs to stay with us for awhile. We're cool with this.}
[12:54am] Alivi: Eriko takes off her shoes.
[12:54am] Wogglebug: "That so? What sort of anomalous?"
[12:55am] Alivi: She places them outside the door.
[12:55am] Puppetmaster: June starts lifting weights again.
[12:55am] Gara: "I'm not sure."
[12:55am] AgentFlowers: {Yeah i know i suggested it}
[12:55am] Wogglebug: "And what do you mean 'wasn't an apprentice'?"
[12:55am] Alivi: "Okay...
[12:55am] Gara: {Kickass.} Wants*
[12:55am] Wogglebug: Change to fit, question remains.
[12:56am] Gara: "He wants someone to teach."
[12:56am] Gara: "How to make his machines."
[12:56am] AgentFlowers: "Hey sweetie, come on in. Don't mind the mess."
[12:56am] Wogglebug: "Huh. He a reasonable physical threat?"
[12:56am] Alivi: "lily-neechan…he left last night and i ddnt say bye..."
[12:56am] Gara: "No, shouldn't be. Security is posted, of course."
[12:56am] Alivi: She tears up again
[12:56am] Alivi: She enters
[12:57am] Wogglebug: "Where's he at?"
[12:57am] Kuroiten: Corwin makes it to Medical. He applies a thin layer of topical anesthetic to his cheek, wincing, before reviewing any medical texts there. This should occupy him for a while.
[12:57am] AgentFlowers: "Aww, Eri..." She sits up on her bed and holds out her arms for Eriko to come to her.
[12:57am] Alivi: Eriko has bobo in her arms
[12:57am] Alivi: She goes over to Lily and hugs her.
[12:58am] Soulless: Stoat sits with Eriko and Lily, not knowing what to do with herself.
[12:58am] Gara: "Brig. Lemme get it pushed through command, and let me introduce you two."
[12:58am] Wogglebug: "Sounds like a plan, man."
[12:58am] Gara: "Alright, cool."
[01:01am] Wogglebug: Arthur sets about relaxing. He has quite a time of it
[01:01am] TehpillowAFK: Chloe is there.
[01:03am] Puppetmaster: 6df+4 June's shit at lifting weights
[01:03am] Glacon: Puppetmaster: June's shit at lifting weights: 5 (6df+4=0, +, 0, 0, +, -)
[01:03am] Puppetmaster: Eh. She's alright.

[01:08am] AgentFlowers: Lily pulls Stoat into the hug pile.
[01:09am] Alivi: Eriko smiles and snuggles with them happily
[01:09am] Alivi: She seems to be finally relaxing
[01:10am] LoLshoe is now known as Snowshoe.
[01:11am] Wogglebug: Arthur drums his fingers a bit.
[01:12am] Alivi: She sniffles a bit and cuddles
[01:13am] Soulless: Stoat is in the hug pile.
[01:13am] Soulless: "I... don't know how to... nnh." She goes mute.
[01:14am] Kuroiten: Corwin is distracted. He is reading the same page over and over and learning nothing. ~I handled that badly. I handled that /sooo/ badly. And if I try to apologize, I might get slapped. Again.~ He shuts the textbook and puts it away with a sigh.
[01:14am] Alivi: Eriko yawns and closes her eyes.
[01:15am] Puppetmaster: June's been working out a while. She puts away the weights, grabs a brief shower, and walks to rec. She texts Corwin. {Mess. Now.}
[01:18am] Kuroiten: Corwin starts as his PDA vibrates. "What on...?" He pulls out the PDA and...huh. It's a phone too. {On my way.} He slides it back into his pocket with a grimace, then pulls it back out. {Actually, one minute. Aloe quick, then I'll double-time it.}
[01:19am] Puppetmaster: June patiently sits in the mess. The handle of her knife is visible outside her shirt, rather than hidden as usual.
[01:20am] PaulS_laptop: Bill, meanwhile, returns from his turn on the wall. again.
[01:20am] Soulless: "...Are you tired."
[01:20am] Alivi: Eriko nods.
[01:20am] Kuroiten_ joined the chat room.
[01:21am] Kuroiten left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
[01:21am] Kuroiten_ is now known as Kuroiten.
[01:21am] Wogglebug: *Drum Drum Drum*
[01:23am] Soulless: "...You can use my bed. I guess."
[01:23am] Alivi: "Lil-nee san….remember last time?"
[01:24am] Kuroiten: Corwin enters the mess hall, walks straight over to the chair in front of June, pulls it out, then sits down. The slap mark is still present, as is the coffee stain.
[01:24am] AgentFlowers: "Mmhm. Lets just all sleep in a pile right here."
[01:24am] Puppetmaster: "Corwin, put your hand palm-down on the table, please.
[01:24am] Alivi: "Okay…bobo here too...:
[01:24am] Puppetmaster: "
[01:25am] AgentFlowers: "Yep. And Loren when she comes in."
[01:25am] Kuroiten: Corwin eyes the knife-handle, eyes June, then places his hand down on the table.
[01:25am] Puppetmaster: "Spread your fingers. A lot."
[01:25am] Alivi: "Okay…."
[01:25am] Alivi: she relaxes more
[01:26am] Alivi: "We will all betogether and not in danger;."
[01:26am] Wogglebug: Artur hums a bit. He's visibly bored.
[01:27am] AgentFlowers: "That's right...only good dreams in the snuggle pile..."
[01:27am] Kuroiten: Corwin does so. "June, I...I said some stupid things back there. It was unprofessional of me, and..." He can't meet her eyes.
[01:28am] Puppetmaster: June's hand darted to her knife handle once he did as she asked, but now it slowly moves to tightly grip the table. "Unprofessionalism wasn't the problem. What the /fuck/ were you thinking asking that question?"
[01:28am] Alivi: She nods
[01:29am] AgentFlowers: "Stoat, that's your cue to snuggle."
[01:29am] TehpillowAFK is now known as Tehpillowstar.
[01:30am] Soulless: "..."
[01:30am] Soulless: Stoat very veeery slowly snuggles.
[01:30am] Soulless: "...There."
[01:31am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe cradles her mug of tea and wonders if she'd prefer to be lonely or not be hurt.
[01:31am] AgentFlowers: "There ya go."
[01:31am] Alivi: "Thank you…."
[01:31am] salmander joined the chat room.
[01:31am] salmander was promoted to half-operator by ChanServ.
[01:33am] PresidentEvil: Greg walks into mess at this time, and sees like half the task force's women snuggling.
[01:33am] Alivi: they are in their room greg.
[01:33am] PresidentEvil: Without context he's not entirely sure how to feel about this.
[01:33am] Wogglebug: They're not in mess.
[01:33am] Wogglebug: June's in mess, threatening the new guy with a knife.
[01:33am] Kuroiten: Corwin is silent for a while. "...I don't know," he finally responds. When he looks up, there are no tears, no begging. Just...resigned blankness.
[01:34am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe gets up and goes to the mess for coffee.
[01:34am] Kuroiten: "I wanted to help. I wanted her to remember that...he'd probably move heaven and earth to see her."
[01:34am] Puppetmaster: June's still looking pissed, but she's easing up a bit.
[01:34am] Wogglebug: Arthur follows Chloe. He needs a sandwich.
[01:34am] PresidentEvil: "June, what the fuck are you doing?"
[01:34am] salmander left the chat room. (Quit: How can a robot think with his elbows in the sink?)
[01:34am] PresidentEvil: "Don't you know dealing with the fuckups is /my/ job?"
[01:35am] Puppetmaster: "I didn't, actually. This is the first time you've ever talked to me other than to give an order."
[01:36am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe looks at June and frowns.
[01:36am] Kuroiten: "But I'm no head-doctor. Hell, I'm barely even a medical doctor." His eyes briefly dart over to Greg before returning to June's. "I know words can't possibly make it right, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry."
[01:36am] PresidentEvil: "Well then here's another one. Put the knife down. Now. Or all three of us are going to have a very bad day."
[01:36am] Wogglebug: Arthur goes for sandwiches.
[01:36am] Soulless: "..." She so cannot even right now.
[01:36am] Puppetmaster: June hasn't even taken the knife out.
[01:36am] Puppetmaster: At all.
[01:36am] Puppetmaster: Her hand's not even on it.
[01:36am] Soulless: She just sits, snuggling, like a deer in headlights.
[01:37am] Wogglebug: ~Sandwich where arrrre yoouuuuu, why can't I fiinnnnnnd youuuuu.~
[01:38am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe gets a mug of coffee then sits down somewhat close enough to spectate and defuse the situation if necessary but far away enough not to be pulled in
[01:38am] Kuroiten: He mumbles once more, "I just...want to help. That's all."
[01:40am] PaulS_laptop: Bill wanderss in and getss some cofffee, and stays the hell away
[01:41am] Puppetmaster: June sighs and drums her fingers on the edge of the table. "You meant well, but there's some situations you need to stay out of, especially when they're being handled /well/ ."
[01:42am] Pixeltasim left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
[01:43am] Alivi: "Stoat-san…thank you, Lily-chan…thank you…. Loren-san thank you…."
[01:43am] Kuroiten: Corwin nods once, numbly. "I just thought that..." He cuts off the words with a shake of his head. "Understood."
[01:44am] Puppetmaster: "I learned quick that around here, when you think something, you make sure everyone else is thinking that first. And only /then/ do you act on it."
[01:44am] AgentFlowers: "Anytime sweetie."
[01:46am] Kuroiten: Corwin nods again. Some of his normal mood seems to be creeping back. "At least it was /you/ calling me here. Pretty sure Loren would have just pinned my hand to the table and left it at that."
[01:47am] Puppetmaster: "Loren cares about people. She really does. With that said, don't piss her off, regardless."
[01:48am] Soulless: "...You're welcome."
[01:48am] Kuroiten: Corwin sighs. "So...I pissed off at least half of Espionage in one fell swoop in my first week. Wonderful."
[01:48am] Strife left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[01:48am] Puppetmaster: "Eh. People are pretty quick to forgive littler stuff around here."
[01:49am] Puppetmaster: June smiles now and lightly punches Corwin's shoulder. "Don't worry about it."
[01:50am] Kuroiten: "I'll try not to." He winces and rubs his cheek. "Stoat's extra hands pack a mean punch."
[01:50am] Puppetmaster: "... Yeah."
[01:50am] Puppetmaster: "Seeya around." June stands and walks out.
[01:51am] Puppetmaster: She texts Loren. {Dealt with Corwin. Where do you want the body?}
[01:52am] Kuroiten left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer)
[01:52am] Gara: {Good place in the woods, 1.5 miles out, north by northeast. Take an eastern path first.}
[01:52am] Kuroiten joined the chat room.
[01:52am] Puppetmaster: June's very slightly disturbed that Loren's thought this through. {Seriously though, talked to him.}
[01:53am] Gara: {Yeah, that go well?}
[01:53am] Puppetmaster: {Gave him a month and a half of experience in five minutes.}
[01:54am] Kuroiten: Corwin is about to get a cup of coffee...then his chest twinges. "...maybe I'll have a cup of water instead."
[01:54am] Puppetmaster: June goes to rec.
[01:54am] Alivi: Eriko falls asleep
[01:54am] Gara: {Still dosen't quite count. Thanks.}
[01:55am] Puppetmaster: {Any case, I don't think he'll be much a problem.}
[01:56am] Wogglebug: Arthur takes his sandwich and some milk, and heads back to his lab.
[01:57am] Gara: {Great.}
[01:57am] Puppetmaster: June flops on a couch. {Wanna hang out?}
[01:58am] Gara: Loren is in the rec.
[01:58am] Gara: "Yeah."
[01:58am] Kuroiten: Corwin drinks his cup of water slowly. ~Well, I hope she's right.~
[01:58am] Puppetmaster: June notices Loren's there. "Oh. Well that makes things easier."
[01:58am] Gara: "Yeah it does."
[01:59am] Wogglebug: Arthur sits in his lab, eating quietly.
[01:59am] Wogglebug: He hopes there aren't any rabbits about.
[01:59am] Puppetmaster: "... I think that's the first real conversation I've had with Eriko in a while... s'nice."
[01:59am] Gara: "Thank you. So much."
[02:00am] Puppetmaster: "Huh?"
[02:00am] Puppetmaster: "For what?"
[02:01am] Gara: "You helped."
[02:02am] Puppetmaster: "Why wouldn't I?" June looks confused as to why this is special and not expected.
[02:02am] Gara: Loren doesn't answer.
[02:03am] Kuroiten: Corwin finishes his water, then debates heading to his room. He could sleep in Medical and avoid any issues... ~No. I'm going to go to my room, and I'm going to apologize if I run into someone involved. If I don't, I'll apologize as soon as I can.~
[02:03am] Puppetmaster: June shrugs. "It's my /job/ to help people. I picked it for a reason."
[02:03am] Puppetmaster: "... One moment."
[02:03am] Gara: "Thanks. You did well."
[02:04am] Puppetmaster: June texts Stoat. {Talked to Corwin. No need to slap him again.}
[02:04am] Puppetmaster: "No problem."
[02:04am] Puppetmaster: "So, how are you?"
[02:04am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe goes to the rec.
[02:04am] Kuroiten: With this in mind, he tosses his styrofoam cup into the garbage and heads to his room. The topical anesthetic is wearing off, and the slap /still stings/.
[02:06am] Kuroiten: Does he run into anyone, or does he get to his room to get some needed sleep?
[02:06am] Tehpillowstar: She enters. "Hi Loren, hi June"
[02:06am] Gara: "Hi."
[02:06am] AgentFrost joined the chat room.
[02:06am] Puppetmaster: "Hey."
[02:07am] Soulless: Stoat receives a text. {Wait. When did I slap him?}
[02:09am] Puppetmaster: {Extra hands.}
[02:11am] Puppetmaster: {You don't remember?}
[02:12am] Soulless: {I don't control them.}
[02:12am] LucienTel joined the chat room.
[02:12am] Puppetmaster: {Well they slapped him. Bruise-worthy.}
[02:12am] Soulless: {They just act as I would. Usually that means we work fine together. Sometimes not. Ow. Fuck. I'll talk to him.}
[02:14am] Puppetmaster: {How's Eriko doing, by the way?}

[02:20am] Tehpillowstar: "Loren..."
[02:20am] Gara: "Yeah?"
[02:20am] Soulless: {I don't know how to deal with it.}
[02:21am] Puppetmaster: {Doesn't change how adorable it is...}
[02:22am] Tehpillowstar: She sits down with Loren. "You're a good friend. I just hope that you and others think of me as good friend..."
[02:24am] Tehpillowstar: "I um, I do not mean to make you feel awkward!"
[02:24am] Kuroiten: Corwin makes it to his room with no interruptions. He enters, closes the door behind him, and collapses bonelessly onto the bed.
[02:25am] Kuroiten: He reaches over to his guitar and taps the strings, as though to reassure himself it is there. The light jangling sound affirms it. He smiles before rolling over and trying to get some shut-eye.
[02:26am] Gara: "No. Of course not, we're good friends."
[02:28am] Kuroiten: In rolling over, he recalls that he hasn't taken off his rucksack. With a muffled curse, he extricates himself from the bag and drops it on the floor.
[02:28am] Yim joined the chat room.
[02:30am] Kuroiten: After a moment's grumpiness, he sees the humor in the situation, and it is with a smile that he drifts off to sleep.
[02:31am] Tehpillowstar: "And the others?"
[02:31am] Gara: "I don't know."
[02:33am] Tehpillowstar: "Okay."
[02:33am] Tehpillowstar: "I...I acted badly when I came here, and I'm sorry for that...It wasn't appropriate."
[02:34am] Gara: "What do you mean?"
[02:35am] Kuroiten left the chat room. (Quit: Sleep!)
[02:35am] Tehpillowstar: "When I said that we were all going to die..."
[02:36am] Gara: "Ah. Yes."
[02:36am] Tehpillowstar: "I...I know...It's hard for me to explain Loren, in English."
[02:37am] Puppetmaster: June's sitting nearby awkwardly.
[02:37am] Gara: "Chloe. It's fine, okay?"
[02:37am] Gara: Loren smiles.
[02:39am] Tehpillowstar: "No...I just..." she flails her hands, trying to find the words. "I...was scared...I don't know what I'm getting myself into...and I'm scared to lose more of the people I care about."
[02:39am] Puppetmaster: "..." June gets it.
[02:39am] Gara: "I know. I wasn't in a great place when I got here."
[02:40am] Tehpillowstar: "I miss my family so much, they mean so much to me, Loren...It is a Korean thing...and I'm scared to lose more friends"
[02:40am] Tehpillowstar: "After leaving Site-17. After Murphy."
[02:40am] Tehpillowstar: "But I don't want to be alone."
[02:40am] Gara: "Then don't be."
[02:40am] Gara: "We're here. All of us."
[02:41am] Puppetmaster: June stands and sits next to Chloe.
[02:41am] Tehpillowstar: "I...do not know if they, um, judge me, badly."
[02:42am] Gara: "They don't."
[02:43am] Tehpillowstar: "Or see me as...um, [Inferior coworker/junior coworker]...it is complicated, I don't know how to express what I think."
[02:44am] Gara: "I don't understand?"

[02:45am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe shakes her head.
