- [2015-12-19 23:27:59] * Sunhawk mostly just needs to rest, and is horizontal, watching everyone else.
- [2015-12-19 23:28:04] <Lizard-Man> "Can I add that's a really odd description for them?"
- [2015-12-19 23:28:12] <TheShrike> "It's not ideal, but it's more information than we had before."
- [2015-12-19 23:28:35] <Lizard-Man> "I still want to know who the Verdant Snake they recruited is."
- [2015-12-19 23:29:07] <GMpenguin> *Doc* "We could, um. Try tracing the purchases Jade Spider made at the hotel. Maybe the, um, money trail there leads somewhere"
- [2015-12-19 23:29:24] <Cold_Snap> 2"Fine, do that, whatever."
- [2015-12-19 23:30:01] * Cold_Snap mutters under her breath, "Not like my plans ever go anywhere."
- [2015-12-19 23:30:03] <Lizard-Man> "Doc, do you have any ideas on what Weirdo might be susceptible to?"
- [2015-12-19 23:30:42] <GMpenguin> *Doc* "Stacy, you found out where Jade Spider was. That was, um. Good"
- [2015-12-19 23:31:12] <Cold_Snap> 2"Shrike found Spider."
- [2015-12-19 23:31:31] <GMpenguin> "Lizard-Man, I don't know. He's not, um. He's not a robotic being like Gold Guardsman is. He's, um. He's one of B'trzzz's people that's been experimented on into thinking he was Guardsman"
- [2015-12-19 23:32:11] <GMpenguin> *Doc* "But you did too. You, um. You made the connections. You set up the, um. Appointment"
- [2015-12-19 23:32:18] <GMpenguin> "You made sure he was, um, there when you all got there"
- [2015-12-19 23:32:33] <Cold_Snap> 2"And look how that turned out. Swell."
- [2015-12-19 23:32:39] <GMpenguin> "It was a good plan, Stacy"
- [2015-12-19 23:33:03] <Lizard-Man> "We know where their base is. Wasn't that the goal?"
- [2015-12-19 23:33:20] <Lizard-Man> It wasn't a pretty win, but it was a win.
- [2015-12-19 23:33:43] <GMpenguin> *Afro is still unconcious*
- [2015-12-19 23:34:22] <Cold_Snap> 2"It was a loss. They graciously left us to lick our wounds because they /know/ we can't stop them."
- [2015-12-19 23:34:45] <Cold_Snap> 2"Charging into Vancouver half-cocked is a suicide mission."
- [2015-12-19 23:36:19] <Cold_Snap> 2"We went up against two of them today, and some flunkies. Two!"
- [2015-12-19 23:36:37] <Lizard-Man> "Well, we knocked out those two. It was the other three showing up that was the problem."
- [2015-12-19 23:37:04] <TheShrike> "As long as they can teleport, it's going to be impossible to isolate them."
- [2015-12-19 23:37:20] <Lizard-Man> "We'll just have to make sure we go in together."
- [2015-12-19 23:37:49] <Lizard-Man> "Or we find a way to stop their teleporting... Target Night Serpent first."
- [2015-12-19 23:38:31] <TheShrike> "Exactly. We take her out, they can't call for backup."
- [2015-12-19 23:39:07] <Lizard-Man> "Well, they can, but we limit it to Lightspeed and Weirdo."
- [2015-12-19 23:39:08] * Sunhawk looks away from the rest of the group, closes her eyes as if to doze off.
- [2015-12-19 23:39:42] <Cold_Snap> 2"And Shrike, you can't be gallivanting off after Beaumont by yourself anymore."
- [2015-12-19 23:39:54] <Cold_Snap> 2"You're just gonna get strung up."
- [2015-12-19 23:40:29] <TheShrike> "I have never heard what I do described as 'gallivanting' before."
- [2015-12-19 23:41:37] <GMpenguin> *Fox snickers*
- [2015-12-19 23:41:41] <Cold_Snap> 2"There are less flattering terms I could use, but I don't want to injure poor Liz's virgin ears."
- [2015-12-19 23:43:45] <TheShrike> "Well, we have a new goal now. Sunhawk. Tell us everything you know about Night Serpent."
- [2015-12-19 23:45:16] <GMpenguin> *Cut to later*
- [2015-12-19 23:45:27] <GMpenguin> *Doctor Adorable is shooing the healthy people out of the infirmary*
- [2015-12-19 23:45:37] <GMpenguin> *Afro Fist and Sunhawk are sleeping. Cold Snap can't*
- [2015-12-19 23:46:12] <GMpenguin> *Adorable looks back at Cold Snap* "You did good, Stacy. Really. Have, um. Have a good night. I'll be on monitors"
- [2015-12-19 23:46:19] <GMpenguin> *She leaves Cold Snap alone*
- [2015-12-19 23:46:48] <GMpenguin> *She stops*
- [2015-12-19 23:46:54] <GMpenguin> "Um. Do you mind if I. Turn out the lights?"
- [2015-12-19 23:47:04] <Cold_Snap> 2"No. Go ahead."
- [2015-12-19 23:47:52] <GMpenguin> *She flips the switch* "I'll be on the monitors. We can watch the Netflix or something whenever you're up for it."
- [2015-12-19 23:47:59] <GMpenguin> *Doc leaves*
- [2015-12-19 23:48:02] <GMpenguin> *again*
- [2015-12-19 23:48:37] * Cold_Snap is quiet for a moment, then slams the table again. This time it shatters.
- [2015-12-19 23:49:12] <Cold_Snap> 2"Dammit Alex, I can't keep doing this. Where are you?"
- [2015-12-19 23:50:54] <GMpenguin> *Black*
- [2015-12-19 23:51:01] <GMpenguin> *Credits credits credits*
