  5. [12:48] *** Sequence has joined #TamlinHouse
  6. [13:11] <Ragazzo> James snoozes in his bed. After a bit, he wakes up and looks around. Yaaawn.
  7. [13:11] <Ragazzo> Gets dressed, totters off to the bar.
  8. [13:11] <Tom90deg> Darius is there, currently playing Risk against Bernard. He is not doing well.
  9. [13:12] <Ragazzo> James blinks, and waves to this fellow.
  10. [13:12] <Ragazzo> "Hello there."
  11. [13:12] <Ragazzo> "New here?"
  12. [13:12] <FallenLegion> Spade wakes up at the bar.
  13. [13:13] <Tom90deg> He gives him a wave. "You could say that, Just got here a few days ago. Darius Moore."
  14. [13:13] <Ragazzo> "James penn." He offers a hand.
  15. [13:13] <Tom90deg> Darius shakes. "Nice to meet you Mr. Penn."
  16. [13:14] <Ragazzo> "Call me James."
  17. [13:15] <Tom90deg> He nods with a smile. "Alright then, James."
  18. [13:15] <Ragazzo> He sits down, and finagles some waffles and a mug of coffee out of bernard.
  19. [13:17] <Tom90deg> "So, how long have you been here?"
  20. [13:17] <FallenLegion> Spade stands up and fixes himself a drink.
  21. [13:18] <Ragazzo> "A good while..." Shrug. Omnomnomnom.
  22. [13:21] <Tom90deg> "Cool cool." *write write*
  23. [13:21] <FallenLegion> Spade looks behind him, and sees James. " Salutations... Stumpy."
  24. [13:21] <Sequence> Candy dances into the bar!
  25. [13:22] <Tom90deg> Darius glances over at candy and gives her a wave.
  26. [13:22] <Sequence> She scoots over to him and drapes her hands over his head. "Hiiiiii!"
  27. [13:22] <Tom90deg> "How's your hand feeling?"
  28. [13:23] <Sequence> "Great!" It's bandaged up.
  29. [13:26] <Tom90deg> "Good to hear. Be careful about punching those computers next time."
  30. [13:27] <Sequence> Candy giggles and punches him in the back of the head.
  31. [13:27] <Sequence> 4d6
  32. [13:27] <CROM> Sequence: 13 (4d6=1, 4, 3, 5)
  33. [13:27] <Tom90deg> 5d6
  34. [13:27] <CROM> Tom90deg: 14 (5d6=3, 1, 4, 4, 2)
  35. [13:28] <Tom90deg> Candy's fist squishes into Darius shield, it dosn't hurt, but it does stop it.
  36. [13:28] <Sequence> She giggles and drags her fingernails down the shield.
  37. [13:28] <Tom90deg> Darius gives a slight grin, at the noise from the scraping.
  38. [13:30] <Tom90deg> "So..."
  39. [13:30] <FallenLegion> " Great, the Harlequin and the book guy."
  40. [13:31] <Sequence> Candy grins and keeps scraping, trying to make the noise louder.
  41. [13:32] <Tom90deg> The noise is a bit staticy, but more like running your fingernails over glass.
  42. [13:33] <Ragazzo> James yawns, drinking his coffee. Sleeeepy.
  43. [13:33] <Sequence> She bends forward and tries to bite the shield
  44. [13:34] <Tom90deg> IT's rather circular, so shecan't get a good bite on it. There's no taste to it however.
  45. [13:35] <Sequence> She keeps licking the shield anyway. Static!
  46. [13:36] <Ragazzo> He blinks, feeling something tickle his chin, and looks down. "...." There is a blonde hair on his collar. He plucks it away, peering at it. Confusion.
  47. [13:36] <FallenLegion> Spade glares at the others in the bar.
  48. [13:37] <Sequence> Then she is distracted by Spade. She steps right up over to him.
  49. [13:37] <Sequence> 4d6 uppercut~!
  50. [13:37] <CROM> Sequence: uppercut~!: 18 (4d6=4, 6, 3, 5)
  51. [13:37] <Tom90deg> Darius sighs, putting his hand over his face. "Not again.."
  52. [13:37] *** Dexanote has joined #TamlinHouse
  53. [13:37] <Ragazzo> James exhales, noticing the start of a fight.
  54. [13:37] <FallenLegion> 5d6 handle smack
  55. [13:37] <CROM> FallenLegion: handle smack: 10 (5d6=2, 3, 1, 1, 3)
  56. [13:38] <Ragazzo> "Great...."
  57. [13:38] <Sequence> Candy's fist impacts Spade's jaw.

  63. [13:40] <Sequence> 5d6 Then she grabs his hair and tries to pull his face closer to hers, eyes wide and darting crazily around.
  64. [13:40] <CROM> Sequence: Then she grabs his hair and tries to pull his face closer to hers, eyes wide and darting crazily around.: 16 (5d6=6, 1, 4, 4, 1)

  66. [13:41] <CROM> FallenLegion: Spade tries to punch her.: 15 (4d6=5, 4, 3, 3)
  67. [13:42] <Sequence> She grabs his hand in her injured one, and giggles mere inches from his face. She pulls his hair back, grinning madly.
  68. [13:42] <FallenLegion> " Damn clowns.. " He mutters angrily.
  69. [13:43] <@Maddy> Trin wanders into the bar, cleaning her sunglasses.
  70. [13:43] <Sequence> "Just /what/ did you call meeeeee?" She growls.
  71. [13:43] <@Dexanote> 5d6 Candy, Spade, defend against grappling
  72. [13:43] <SGTDan> Beck is right behind Trinity, having spent the night on her foolocker
  73. [13:43] <CROM> Dexanote: Candy, Spade, defend against grappling: 20 (5d6=4, 4, 5, 1, 6)
  74. [13:43] <Tom90deg> Darius gives Trinity a wave
  75. [13:43] <Sequence> 5d6 Wheee!

  78. [13:44] <CROM> FallenLegion: Not again!: 16 (5d6=6, 3, 1, 5, 1)
  79. [13:44] <Ragazzo> James looks over. His mood is suddenly quite sour. But something appears to be happening. Hrm.
  80. [13:44] <@Maddy> She nods.
  81. [13:44] <@Maddy> "Howdy howdy."
  82. [13:44] <Tom90deg> "Good morning."
  83. [13:44] <@Dexanote> Dozens of whiplike vipers lash out, wrapping around Candy and Spade, dragging them apart. Tyke is attached on the other end, the vipers attached to where his hands should be. "Stop fighting."
  84. [13:45] <@Maddy> "It's like 1444 by my times."
  85. [13:45] <FallenLegion> " Oh hey, Nimbus. " Spade laughs.
  86. [13:45] <SGTDan> Beneath his visor Beck manages a yawn and wheezes as stares at Spade,Tyke and Candy
  87. [13:45] <Tom90deg> "Eh."
  88. [13:46] <@Dexanote> Where his sternum should be, a stout dragon's head has erupted from his chest. Clutched in its jaws is Tyke's Security medal.
  89. [13:46] <FallenLegion> " Shiny, Foundation issue I assume? "
  90. [13:46] <@Dexanote> "Spade stop fighting with everybody or I will throw you in the dungeons. Candice you too."
  91. [13:46] <Sequence> Candy giggles and wiggles in Typhon's grip.
  92. [13:46] <Sequence> "But whyyyyyyyy?"
  93. [13:48] <@Dexanote> "Because you would not like the dungeons. It's a place where people cannot have any fun."
  94. [13:48] <Sequence> Candy gasps and looks shocked. "No fun? No fun /at all/ ?"
  95. [13:48] <@Dexanote> He sets the two down, arms rewinding together. "None."
  96. [13:49] <Ragazzo> "HI've bene there. You just have to sit."
  97. [13:49] <SGTDan> "Ma'am, I hope....you rested...well....." He asks Trinity motioning to her favored bar stool, the one he sees her sit the most "I trust....nothing disturbed you..."
  98. [13:49] <FallenLegion> " I didn't even start this one, Puddle."
  99. [13:49] <Sequence> Candy gasps again, covering her mouth with both hands. "But that's no fun!"
  100. [13:49] <@Dexanote> He looks to Spade. "I honestly believe you." Then back to Candy. "That's the point. It's a bad place where people go who break the rules." Yes, talk like she's a 5 year old.
  101. [13:50] <@Maddy> "Nah, slept like a log." she sits and gets some water.
  102. [13:51] <Sequence> "What rules?" She looks confused, head twitching to the side.
  103. [13:51] <SGTDan> "I know...." A warm smile crosses his lips "Nothing got by...me and...you know....you snore?" Shooting her mischievous grin
  104. [13:52] <@Maddy> "Probably got that from dad..." she laughs.
  105. [13:53] <@Dexanote> "Don't fight."
  106. [13:53] <Sequence> "But that doesn't work!"
  107. [13:53] <FallenLegion> " What, are you afraid I'll beat you again. " He mocks.
  108. [13:54] <SGTDan> Wheezing laughter "Like many things....I would wager...."
  109. [13:54] <@Dexanote> Tyke ignores Spade. "And why does it not work, Candice?"
  110. [13:55] <Sequence> "That's not how things work!" She's looking honestly perplexed, hands fidgeting and clenching into fists every few seconds.
  111. [13:56] <FallenLegion> " Seriously, Droplet, I haven't seen a storm as bad as you since someone at my old college misquoted Zeus.."
  112. [13:56] <Ragazzo> James just watches.
  113. [13:57] <@Dexanote> "I'm happy they misquoted Zeus, it shows that they have better taste than most humans." He peers at Spade. "... Was that an attempt to provoke me?"
  114. [13:57] <Tom90deg> As does Darius.
  115. [13:57] <@Dexanote> "You are very bad at this."
  116. [13:57] <@Dexanote> "Though I suppose it's why you start fights with your weapon and not your words."
  117. [13:58] <SGTDan> "Interesting run yesterday.....full of many....surprises...." Beck says absently beside Trinity
  118. [13:59] <Tom90deg> "There were some odd things, no doubt."
  119. [13:59] <Sequence> Candy giggles at Typhon's words.
  120. [13:59] <FallenLegion> " And I suppose that is the strength that prevent the Titans from losing to him.. oh.. wait.."
  121. [14:01] <@Dexanote> "... Er. What?"
  122. [14:03] <FallenLegion> " Well if he was so pathetic how could he oppose the will of Gaia.."
  123. [14:05] <Ragazzo> James twirls the strand of hair around a finger, and watches curiously still. "So. This new guy. Kind of dumb."
  124. [14:05] <Sequence> Candy looks blank!
  125. [14:05] <Tom90deg> "Mmm...You could say that."
  126. [14:05] <Ragazzo> James is speaking coversationally, spade could easily overhear.
  127. [14:05] <FallenLegion> " Shut it, Stumpy." He growls.
  128. [14:06] <Ragazzo> "Well, from what I've seen, he's been in at least three fights so far, all of which eh lsot. To the kid no less."
  129. [14:06] <@Dexanote> "I'm not sure..." he nods enthusiasticaly to James. "He truly is. I think he is attempting to insult my mother, but is only succeeding in insulting Zeus."
  130. [14:06] <@Dexanote> "I am not a kid."
  131. [14:06] <@Dexanote> :|
  132. [14:06] <Ragazzo> "And he's enough of an ass to make enemies out of just about everyone. You look like one."
  133. [14:07] <Tom90deg> "I'm no psychologist, but he seems to have some sort of issue with authority. He hates what he calls 'Weakness', yet dosn't understand how easy it would be for him to get killed on his own here."
  134. [14:08] <Sequence> Candy giggles. "I know how to fix that!"
  135. [14:09] <@Dexanote> Tyke groans.
  136. [14:10] <FallenLegion> " Typhon, the father of monsters.. Considered one of the strongest figures in Greek Mythology, yet too weak to save even his wife.."
  137. [14:10] <@Dexanote> Welp.
  138. [14:10] <@Dexanote> 5d6 Might of Gaia. Defend against strangulation.
  139. [14:10] <CROM> Dexanote: Might of Gaia. Defend against strangulation.: 17 (5d6=3, 2, 4, 5, 3)

  141. [14:10] <CROM> FallenLegion: Countershank: 13 (5d6=4, 1, 1, 5, 2)
  142. [14:10] <Ragazzo> James hefts his axe. Oh boy.
  143. [14:10] <Tom90deg> Darius shakes his head. "Do you think he'll learn?"
  144. [14:11] <Sequence> Candy steps back from the fight, giggling. "Exactly!"
  145. [14:11] <Ragazzo> "No, but I'm going to have tog et in the way here, I think...."
  146. [14:11] <@Dexanote> Tyke moves faster than the eye can see, bowling Spade over and wrapping his hands around Spade's throat. His eyes spark and ignite.
  147. [14:11] <Tom90deg> "No no, he's got a badge."
  148. [14:11] <Tom90deg> "I think this may be offical."
  149. [14:11] <Ragazzo> "Don't rightly care."
  150. [14:11] <FallenLegion> 5d6 Spade chucks, and jabs at Tyke's torso.
  151. [14:11] <SGTDan> "Hey Typhon... I can weld.... his cell shut..." Beck offers
  152. [14:12] <FallenLegion> chuckles*

  157. [14:13] <Sequence> quam
  158. [14:13] <Tom90deg> Darius puts a hand on James's sholder. "Hold on a moment. You missed the previous 3 rounds. If this isn't settled,it'll just get worse."
  159. [14:13] *** CROM has quit IRC: Ping timeout
  160. [14:13] <Ragazzo> "Nnnno, I don't think it can get much worse then tyke killing this idiot."
  161. [14:14] <Tom90deg> "How about that idiot killing other people?"
  162. [14:14] <Ragazzo> "That's uh, just as bad."
  163. [14:14] <Ragazzo> He looks confused at darius, and shrugs his hand off.
  164. [14:15] <Tom90deg> "And he's already attacked a fair number. Just saying, the security is here for a reason."
  165. [14:15] <Ragazzo> "This doesn't look like security anymore. He's just fighting to kil lthat guy."
  166. [14:15] *** CROM has joined #TamlinHouse
  167. [14:16] <@Dexanote> "You are unwise, Spade." Reroll your stab
  168. [14:16] <FallenLegion> 5d6 lets try that again
  169. [14:16] <CROM> FallenLegion: lets try that again: 15 (5d6=1, 5, 2, 1, 6)
  170. [14:16] <Tom90deg> Darius shurgs. "Perhaps. But when you go around picking fights, you can't be surpirzed when you misjudge how strong your opponent is. The problem with small furry creatures that are pushed into the corner is that occasionaly one of them's a mongoose."
  171. [14:17] <@Dexanote> 4d6 Monstrosity to defend
  172. [14:17] <CROM> Dexanote: Monstrosity to defend: 17 (4d6=5, 2, 5, 5)
  173. [14:17] <@Dexanote> A serpent splits from his leg and lashes out, snatching the shank from Spade's hand. "That's enough.
  174. [14:17] <@Dexanote> "
  175. [14:17] <@Dexanote> James?
  176. [14:18] <Ragazzo> Does it look like tyke is still strangling spade?
  177. [14:18] <@Dexanote> Yes.
  178. [14:18] <Sequence> Candy bounces up and down, watching the fight eagerly.
  179. [14:18] <Ragazzo> James is ignoring Darius. His babbling makes no sense to the lumberjack.
  180. [14:19] <@Dexanote> Then
  181. [14:20] <Ragazzo> 6d6 James lumbers forward, and with the aid of axe,'s long handle, pries the two apart, or tries too.
  182. [14:20] <CROM> Ragazzo: James lumbers forward, and with the aid of axe,'s long handle, pries the two apart, or tries too.: 25 (6d6=6, 4, 3, 5, 5, 2)
  183. [14:20] <Ragazzo> "Tyke, christ, this one's a bastard, but he's not worth your time. Any man who'd say something like that isn't."
  184. [14:20] <@Dexanote> 5d6
  185. [14:20] <CROM> Dexanote: 21 (5d6=1, 6, 2, 6, 6)

  188. [14:22] <CROM> FallenLegion: again: 10 (4d6=2, 2, 5, 1)
  189. [14:23] <Ragazzo> James splits the two apart like an angry eldritch/human log. He gives spade a shove for good measure, sending him toppling backwards.
  190. [14:23] <FallenLegion> Spade mutters and incoherent curse and rubs his backside.
  191. [14:23] <Sequence> Candy giggles and leaps onto Spade.
  192. [14:23] <Sequence> 5d6 cannonball!
  193. [14:24] <CROM> Sequence: cannonball!: 18 (5d6=6, 2, 5, 2, 3)
  194. [14:24] <@Dexanote> Tyke allows himself to be pried off Spade. He steps back and walks away, pissed off at James's logic.
  195. [14:24] <FallenLegion> 4d6 oh dear god
  196. [14:24] <CROM> FallenLegion: oh dear god: 18 (4d6=6, 6, 1, 5)
  197. [14:25] *** Dexanote is now known as CaptainCanuck
  198. [14:26] <SGTDan> Sighing loudly, Beck turns around and musters his frozen lungs with air. "CANDY!" Comes a loud stern commanding shout "Cease right now..."
  199. [14:26] <FallenLegion> Spade pushes Candy off of him and stands up.
  200. [14:27] <Sequence> Candy freezes and /doesn't/ land shoulder first on Spade's kidney. She rolls off of Spade obediently and stands up, folding her hands behind her back and looking appropriately chastened.
  201. [14:28] <SGTDan> "Now...take him...outside in the....main hall.....then beat the....shit out of him..." Beck says with a grin
  202. [14:28] *** CaptainCanuck is now known as Dexanote
  203. [14:29] <@Dexanote> Spade might notice his shank lying on the floor somewhere
  204. [14:30] <FallenLegion> Spade grabs his shank and glares at James. " Any time you're ready, Princess Flannela. "
  205. [14:30] *** FallenLegion has quit IRC: Quit: (Link: http://www.mibbit.com)http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client

  212. [14:32] <@Dexanote> "Agh- get off"
  213. [14:33] <Sequence> Candy pouts and kicks at the NPC.
  214. [14:34] <@Dexanote> The NPC fucking flees
  215. [14:34] *** FallenLegion has joined #TamlinHouse
  216. [14:35] <Sequence> Candy grins at Beck and looks like the sun has just shined on her for the first time!

  221. [14:36] <FallenLegion> Spade cuts Candy's hand to shoo her away.
  222. [14:36] <Ragazzo> James snorts, and turns to go.
  223. [14:36] <Sequence> She frowns and tackles him.
  224. [14:36] <Sequence> 5d6 FUCK YOU.
  225. [14:36] <CROM> Sequence: FUCK YOU.: 14 (5d6=2, 5, 1, 3, 3)

  235. [14:38] <Ragazzo> Aaaand then he sighs, and turning, moves to knock the crazies apart, just like he did before with spade and tyke. "For fuck's sake..."

  242. [14:40] <~Bright> And, everyone is suddenly on the floor.
  243. [14:40] *** Bright is now known as MikeB
  244. [14:40] <Ragazzo> "Oof."
  245. [14:40] * ~MikeB strolls in, tapping his tamlin rod against his leg.
  246. [14:40] <Sequence> Candy huffs and tries to flop her arms.
  247. [14:40] <~MikeB> "Someone wanna tell me whats going on here?"
  248. [14:41] <Sequence> She looks at Beck.
  249. [14:41] <Ragazzo> "This fucker won't stop fighting, and this damn clown is jsut being herself."
  250. [14:41] <Tom90deg> "Pretty much."
  251. [14:41] <FallenLegion> " I was just defending myself from her this time! " Spade grumbles.
  252. [14:42] <~MikeB> "Right. Got it." Mike does a quick pat down of Spade and Candy, removing thier weapons. "Welp, I'm taking these. Now. This is your one warning. You fight in the common rooms, we put in you in the Dungeons for a bit. You do it again, we open a door, shove you inside,a nd close the door. You wanna fight, go out into the House, got it?"
  253. [14:43] <Sequence> Candy pouts. "Oh alriiiiiiight."
  254. [14:43] <FallenLegion> " First the axe, now the shank. " Spade pouts as well. " This House sucks.. But fine."
  255. [14:44] * ~MikeB taps hsi rod again... and gravity returns to normal.
  256. [14:44] * Ragazzo gets to hsi feet, goes to the bar and finishes his breakfast.
  257. [14:44] * ~MikeB walks away, tucking their weapons away until they can be polite.
  258. [14:44] <Sequence> Candy bounces to her feet and casts a hurt look at SGTDan.
  259. [14:44] <Tom90deg> Darius nods at Mike as he leaves.
  260. [14:44] <Sequence> *Beck.
  261. [14:46] <FallenLegion> Spade fixes himself a drink.
  262. [14:55] <SGTDan> Smiles at her and pats the seat next to him after he notices Candy
  263. [14:57] <Sequence> She takes a step away. She was /right/. He's awful.
  264. [14:58] <SGTDan> Shrugging and giving her a stern look, "Why don't you...go find...something to...beat the shit out...of?"
  265. [14:58] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at Beck. " Looks like the Tinman has a heart after all. "
  266. [14:58] <Sequence> She looks afraid again. "Y-yes, right, right away." Then she turns tail and flees.
  267. [15:00] <SGTDan> Beck looks at spade with a strange look, "Tinman...thats a new...one but I wonder....then whos the....Wicked Witch of the West?"
  268. [15:00] <Tom90deg> "I think she's in the house somewhere."
  269. [15:00] <FallenLegion> " Well with the rate you have the Harlequin going, she's bound to be crushed sometime. " He sits next to Beck, holding his drink.
  270. [15:01] <SGTDan> "Would that make....you her monkey...henchmen?" Giving Spade a grin
  271. [15:01] <Tom90deg> "Also, that was rather cruel what you did to her."
  272. [15:02] <FallenLegion> " That'd have to be earned. "
  273. [15:03] <Tom90deg> "You should talk to the securty guard. Tell him why that happened."
  274. [15:03] <FallenLegion> " And also get my shank back. " Spade mutters to himself bitterly.
  275. [15:04] <SGTDan> Looking at the Indiana Jones look-a-like "I plan on it...." Looking a Spade "That will...be earned too..."
  276. [15:04] <FallenLegion> " Then. " He picks up his drink. " Cheers."
  277. [15:04] <Tom90deg> Darius nods. "Thank you. She seemed to be very confused, and haveing her know that she wasn't to be blamed will help her. At least I hope so."
  278. [15:06] <SGTDan> Beck pushes away form the bar and nods "Gents, I'll be...back...." Wheezing laughter at his reference, passing by James the astronaut lays a hand on his shoulder "Pal, we...need to talk...man to man..."
  279. [15:07] <FallenLegion> " I like this drink.. " He slams it on the ground. " I'll get another! "
  280. [15:08] <SGTDan> After getting a nod from James, Beck moves off to the Main Hall to find Mike
  281. [15:27] *** Drewbear has joined #TamlinHouse
  282. [15:32] *** Pemander has joined #TamlinHouse
  283. [15:33] <Pemander> Matthias walks into the bar.
  284. [15:34] <Pemander> There is more purpose in his stride than usual, it seems.
  285. [15:34] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at Darius. " How did /you/ get here."
  286. [15:35] <Tom90deg> "Hmm? I came in through a Way."
  287. [15:36] <FallenLegion> Spade glares at him.
  288. [15:37] <Tom90deg> Dairus just looks back, with half a smile on his face. "Ways are what we call the doors in the libary. They go everywhere and when. Course, you have to know the knocks, but if you know that, you can go anywhere."
  289. [15:39] <FallenLegion> " Great, one of those loony cultist types..."
  290. [15:39] <Tom90deg> "No, not a cult. Just the Libary."
  291. [15:40] <FallenLegion> " Tell one of the Foundation that you're not a cult and they'd sooner 'terminate' you." He rolls his eyes at the word terminate.
  292. [15:40] <Pemander> Matthias looks over to Spade and smiles. "I'm the loony cultist type around here."
  293. [15:41] <Pemander> "Nice to meetcha."
  294. [15:41] <Tom90deg> "No, they didn't consider the Libary a cult, just a group of intrest. Mainy because we kept on rescueing the people they had imprisoned."
  295. [15:42] <FallenLegion> " Rescue? The things you see there.." He pauses. " You can't be saved from.. No matter how far you run."
  296. [15:43] <Tom90deg> "Oh I don't know. We seem to do alright."
  297. [15:44] <FallenLegion> " Oh, you can think that you're fine. Maybe after enough mystic texts and shaman rituals you can actually believe it. " He glares. " But it's always there. Always waiting, looking for a way out."
  298. [15:45] <Tom90deg> Darius raises an eyebrow. "I think we may be talking about diffrent things. WE didn't lock them up. We rescued them."
  299. [15:46] <FallenLegion> " No, we're talking about the same things.." Spade taps on the table. " I'm just telling you that no matter how hard you try, nobody you rescue is ever truly going to be free."
  300. [15:47] <Tom90deg> "Have to dissagre there. We've rescured quite a few people. From the Foundation, MC&D, and the GOC, and while they may need help, most of them recover fully."
  301. [15:48] <FallenLegion> " But can you be sure? We've all seen the masks people wear, even here. We're all just deluding ourselves if we think that there is sanity left in the world."
  302. [15:49] <Tom90deg> "That, to be sureis a point of view." Dairus says dilpomaticaly."
  303. [15:50] <FallenLegion> " I've accepted the fact that I am a prisoner, but I am willing to fight until I find my warden. Can you say the same of yourself?"
  304. [15:50] <Tom90deg> "I'm not a prisoner. I came here of my own free will."
  305. [15:50] <Tom90deg> "I'm here to rescure another prisoner."
  306. [15:51] <FallenLegion> " Free will, is it? " He chuckles. " Is that what binds you to another, makes you come here and search blindly for them?"
  307. [15:52] <@Maddy> Trin keeps drinking sips.
  308. [15:52] <Tom90deg> "Of course."
  309. [15:52] <Pemander> Matthias nods to Trinity. "Afternoon. You're looking beautiful as always."
  310. [15:53] <@Maddy> She smiles. "Thanks, Matthias. How are you today?"
  311. [15:53] <Pemander> "Fine, fine. A little bored, maybe."
  312. [15:53] <FallenLegion> " It was clear when they sent me here that this House was my prison.. But I feel sorry for you." He stops his tapping. " You're a lost soul who can't even see the chains that hold him here. "
  313. [15:54] <Tom90deg> "No, I'm not lost. I know right where I am. I just don't know where my goal is."
  314. [15:58] <SGTDan> Beck after failing to find Mike, returns to the bar. Finding Trinity still there he finds his smile once again as he takes his empty spot beside her.
  315. [15:58] <FallenLegion> " To quote a certain someone ' If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else. ' That fits this place well, doesn't it? "
  316. [15:59] <Tom90deg> "I suppose it does. Also, 'Not all who wander are lost.'"
  317. [16:00] *** Dexanote has quit IRC: Quit: bbl
  318. [16:01] <FallenLegion> " 'I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.' All we can do here is wander, our fulfillment will be our release from here, be it death or escape. "
  319. [16:02] <SGTDan> "I return as...I said I would...." Beck says with a smile at Trinity then a nod to the men "Whats the...topic of...discussion today?"
  320. [16:04] <Tom90deg> "Not quite. I am traveling. Unlike many people here, If a door opened on that wall and let us escape, I would not walk through it."
  321. [16:07] <FallenLegion> " Neither would I. This is my prison, I cannot leave until I face my warden."

  324. [16:10] <Pemander> "Did you try out my suggestion with Candy?"
  325. [16:12] <SGTDan> Beck looks at Matt and shakes his head "Not yet, I think....I may....have a....handle on it...." Looking at Spade "What is you...your suggestion?"
  326. [16:15] <FallenLegion> " About what..?"
  327. [16:16] <SGTDan> "Dealing with...our resident...mad clown..." He says matter of factly
  328. [16:16] <Pemander> "Honestly I don't see what the problem is."
  329. [16:16] <FallenLegion> " Anyone have ducttape and shackles? "
  330. [16:17] <Pemander> "She hasn't done anything to me."
  331. [16:17] <Pemander> "Besides a minor invasion of personal space."
  332. [16:18] <SGTDan> "I mean...for me..." Beck says "I have established that...I am her...superior....now I am unsure...on how to....get through...to her without....scaring her...commanding her is...easy enough...its communication..."
  333. [16:18] *** HalZs is now known as Halvors
  334. [16:19] <FallenLegion> " Well why not stage a fall from grace? " Spade offers.
  335. [16:19] <Pemander> "That's what I suggested."
  336. [16:19] <Halvors> Sven is on the patio.
  337. [16:20] <SGTDan> "Why would I....do that?" Beck asks "She isn't...unresponsive....I just need to find...how to talk to...her effectively...I figured you of...all people would know...given your...background..."
  338. [16:20] <Halvors> He finishes up his meditation and then heads to the bar.
  339. [16:22] <Halvors> He's been sketching in the Black Book.
  340. [16:23] <FallenLegion> " What do you mean ' my background ' ? "

  343. [16:24] <Pemander> "This is stupid. Has anyone besides Beck tried talking to Candy as if she's an actual person?"
  344. [16:25] <SGTDan> "No offense...meant good...sir but....you are...obviously been...around the block...." He says with a straight face "That suit...reminds me of...a prison jumpsuit...."
  345. [16:25] <Halvors> Sven goes into the bar and gets himself a drink. Something tasty but non-alcoholic.
  346. [16:25] <FallenLegion> Spade opens his mouth to say something offensive, but closes it.
  347. [16:26] <Halvors> He's been moving away from booze.
  348. [16:26] <Pemander> "I'm going to go look for her."
  349. [16:26] <FallenLegion> " Why not try speaking her language, or doing actions she will recognize? Crazy is as Crazy does."
  350. [16:26] <Pemander> He stands up and leaves the bar.
  351. [16:26] <Halvors> He sits at the bar and flips slowly through his Book.
  352. [16:26] <SGTDan> "That is why...I ask you...."
  353. [16:26] <Halvors> "See you later, Matty."
  354. [16:27] <FallenLegion> " Well she probably thinks that you're some kind of sadistic bastard who sets her up to fail.."
  355. [16:28] <Sequence> Candy is curled up in a corner of the Main Hall, sulking.
  356. [16:28] <Pemander> Matthias looks down at Candy and smiles somewhat hesitantly. "Hello Candy. How are you today?"
  357. [16:28] <SGTDan> "Not my fault....I honestly was just tired...of the shit...happening in the bar...." Beck says thoughtfully "I've been meaning...to get her...stuff back....now besides that....what can I do...act....to get through...to her....you get into scraps....with her...dare I say you...understand her more...
  358. [16:29] <Halvors> He traces the sketch in the book with his fingers softly, reverently.
  359. [16:30] <FallenLegion> " I understand fighting, sometimes it's all that makes sense in the world."
  360. [16:30] <Sequence> Candy stares at him a bit, then pouts. "It isn't supposed to be like this."
  361. [16:31] <Pemander> "What isn't supposed to be like what?"
  362. [16:31] <Halvors> He closes the book and heads to the Barracks.
  363. [16:31] <Sequence> "Things. It's all wrong. No one works like they should." She sounds genuinely unhappy and confused.
  364. [16:32] <Halvors> Sven sees Candy and Matty. "...yes."
  365. [16:32] <Halvors> "This place is fucked beyond repair. And it's fucking us up as well."
  366. [16:32] <Halvors> He has an odd, complacent smile at this as he walks along.
  367. [16:32] <Pemander> Matthias sits down next to Candy.
  368. [16:33] <Pemander> "Well why don't you tell people they aren't working right?"
  369. [16:33] <Pemander> "Maybe it would fix them."
  370. [16:33] <Sequence> Candy hisses at Sven.
  371. [16:33] <SGTDan> Shrugging he looks at the counter "I spent 5 year....flying jets for....the USAF, I know....a thing or....two about fighting....its just..." Beck shakes his head slowly "...of all things?....I much rather be....floating in the...cold embrace...of space..."
  372. [16:33] <Halvors> Sven doesn't react at the hissing, heading into the Barracks.
  373. [16:33] <Sequence> She swats at Matthias. "I do say!"
  374. [16:33] <Pemander> "Sorry, sorry!" Matthias chuckles.
  375. [16:34] <Pemander> "I guess we're just not hearing, then."
  376. [16:34] <Halvors> He starts looking for Jackie. He promised to keep an eye on her after the door, and he intends to do so.
  377. [16:34] <FallenLegion> Spade gets up to get himself another drink. " Well, we are all here for a reason. Maybe you should just take your grounding as it is.."
  378. [16:35] <Halvors> The dream comes back to him again and he freezes in fear.
  379. [16:35] <Halvors> {Oh fuck, I need to find jackie..}
  380. [16:35] <Halvors> He moves quicker now, eyes darting around.
  381. [16:36] <Sequence> She flops hard against Matthias, head banging against his shoulder. "I'll die soon."
  382. [16:36] <Pemander> "Oh? Why's that."
  383. [16:36] <Pemander> "You can't live with people who aren't working right?"
  384. [16:36] <Halvors> The dream keeps flashing around. {Oh god...}
  385. [16:36] <SGTDan> "Grounding..." That statement illicits some coughing "Please son....I am dead....frozen....I don't really...have a choice...in this...life..."
  386. [16:36] <Sequence> "The spaceman will kill me." She says this calmly, free of any distress. Just another fact of life.
  387. [16:36] <Halvors> Sven grinds his teeth as he tries to get a hold of himself.
  388. [16:36] <Drewbear> Jackie's asleep on her bunk, drool slipping out the corner of her mouth
  389. [16:36] <Pemander> "The spaceman doesn't want to kill you, Candy."
  390. [16:37] <Halvors> Sven goes over hurredly and kneels at her bedside- quietly, soas not to wake her (he hopes).
  391. [16:37] <Pemander> "He wants to know how to work right, that's all."
  392. [16:37] <Drewbear> she snorts and rolls over
  393. [16:37] <FallenLegion> " We always have a choice, but sometimes they are just two sides of the same coin. "
  394. [16:37] <Halvors> He exhales in relief as she appears to be... intact.
  395. [16:37] <Halvors> {Oh thank god. Just a dream.}
  396. [16:37] <Sequence> "He doesn't. He's saying things before he uses me up."
  397. [16:38] <Pemander> "What makes you think that?"
  398. [16:38] <SGTDan> "I didn't....I died and...was brought back.....did I ask...to be brought...back? No at first...it was a blessing...now its a curse...."
  399. [16:38] <Halvors> {Just a dream... but...the memory is real.}

  404. [16:39] <Sequence> "He treats like he's sorry but smiling."
  405. [16:39] <Drewbear> Roberto comes wandering into the Main Hall from the patio

  416. [16:41] <Tom90deg> Darius gives the dog a wave.
  417. [16:42] <Drewbear> Roberto ambles over to the group in the corner and noses his way to where he can see what's going on
  418. [16:42] <Pemander> "I don't know if that man is capable of feeling sorry /or/ smiling."
  419. [16:42] <Halvors> He starts reading aloud softly.

  450. [16:46] <Drewbear> Roberto leans agsint Candy
  451. [16:46] <FallenLegion> " Well if there is no place in the world outside, there is a place in this world here. I have accepted that it is my prison, you can do so and stay as well. "
  452. [16:47] <Pemander> "I guess this conversation is over, huh Candy?"
  453. [16:47] <Drewbear> Roberto is growling the more Spade talks
  454. [16:47] <Pemander> "It was nice talking to you."
  455. [16:47] <Sequence> "What conversation?"
  456. [16:47] <Pemander> "...nevermind."
  457. [16:47] <Sequence> "Talking?"
  458. [16:47] <Halvors> "And know that the House, Gods House, the House of Legends, is neither malevolent nor benevolent. There are wonders and dangers-"
  459. [16:47] <Pemander> He stands up and leaves.
  460. [16:47] <Halvors> He looks worredly at Jackie for a moment.
  461. [16:47] <Sequence> Candy waves jerkily at Matthias.
  462. [16:48] <Halvors> "....dangers, and we must take care to know of the difference."
  463. [16:48] <SGTDan> "I have...my place is to...help the lost...like Brad....we're dead...and tied to this place...." He says with reassignment "I will guide...and help people...a shepard of the...damned...."
  464. [16:48] <Halvors> "Now, when I speak of Gods House, know this. The Fallen King and God are *the same*."
  465. [16:48] <Halvors> "There is no light without darkness."
  466. [16:48] <FallenLegion> " Then it's good to have you aboard. " He holds out his hand.
  467. [16:48] <Halvors> "There can be no dawn without dusk."
  468. [16:49] <Halvors> "For every smile and happiness, there will be hell and burning damnation to match, inch for inch, foot for foot-"
  469. [16:49] <Halvors> He's getting kinda worked up here.
  470. [16:49] <Halvors> His voice is raising bit by bit.
  471. [16:50] <Drewbear> Jackie stirs and rolls over again...
  472. [16:50] <Drewbear> ...right off the edge of the bunk
  473. [16:50] <Drewbear> THUNK
  474. [16:50] <Halvors> "-and the wicked will flourish unless the guardians defend. These glorious men and women- no, no... uh... beings. Yes, beings. These glorious beings-"
  475. [16:50] <Drewbear> "GAH!"
  476. [16:50] <Halvors> Sven jolts and slams the book shut.
  477. [16:50] <Halvors> "Jackie?"
  478. [16:51] <SGTDan> A large white glove dwarfs his, shaking it. "However I...do have one...final goal before...I rest...I will...not stop....till it is..complete..."
  479. [16:51] <Drewbear> Jackie sits up, rubbing the side of her face
  480. [16:51] <Halvors> "Are you okay?"
  481. [16:51] <Drewbear> "m up! 'm up!"
  482. [16:51] <Halvors> Sven chuckles a bit.
  483. [16:52] <Pemander> Matthias leans into the bar and looks at Beck.
  484. [16:52] <Halvors> He carefully stows the book.
  485. [16:52] <Halvors> ~Don't mention the dream.~ "I was wondering how you felt today."
  486. [16:52] <FallenLegion> " It is...?"
  487. [16:52] <Drewbear> "s goin on? noise. 'mergncy?"
  488. [16:52] <Drewbear> Sleep muddled speech
  489. [16:52] <Halvors> "Oh, no, nothing."
  490. [16:53] <SGTDan> "I must telll...them...to move on....." He says quiet and distant while noticing Matts arrival.
  491. [16:53] <Pemander> Matthias walks up to Beck. "Sorry. Am I interrupting anything?"
  492. [16:53] <Drewbear> "kay"
  493. [16:54] <Drewbear> Jackie untangles hereself from the bedsheets, then pulls herslef up using the bunk
  494. [16:54] <SGTDan> "No not...at all....I am simply...having pleasant discourse...with Spade....
  495. [16:54] <Pemander> "Alright. Will you do me a favor and smile?"
  496. [16:54] <Halvors> Sven blushes slightly again. {So, about yesterday... when I told you that...}
  497. [16:55] <SGTDan> Matt gets the strangest look from the astronaut, his brows furrowed in confusion
  498. [16:55] <Pemander> "Is...is that a smile?"
  499. [16:55] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at Matthias suspiciously.
  500. [16:56] <SGTDan> "No....why do you...ask me to smile?"
  501. [16:56] <Pemander> "It's for a good cause."
  502. [16:56] <Pemander> "Please just smile."
  503. [16:56] <Pemander> "Person with the rusty shank, I would like to see your smile as well."
  504. [16:56] <Drewbear> Jackie says, muzzily, "You told me...?"
  505. [16:57] <Drewbear> She's rubbing her face, trying to wake up
  506. [16:57] <FallenLegion> " I don't trust this. Nobody wants to see my smile. "
  507. [16:57] <Halvors> {Uhh... that I... loved you? And not strictly in a... brotherly... uh...} Bluuuush.
  508. [16:57] <SGTDan> Beck closes his eyes, a warm friendly smile crosses his lips. Its a smile akin to one you would use with a loved one or when extremely happy.
  509. [16:57] <Drewbear> Roberto is still growling lowly
  510. [16:57] <Halvors> {{uh... do you... I can forget I ever thought it. If you want. I'm good at burying parts of myself- like the pyromancy from the GOC.}
  511. [16:57] <Pemander> "No, okay."
  512. [16:57] <Pemander> "Sorry. I should specify."
  513. [16:58] <Pemander> "Smile the kind of smile you would have when you walk into a room filled with people, and you know that all the people are here to see you."
  514. [16:58] *** Ragazzo has joined #TamlinHouse
  515. [16:58] <Pemander> "Not so much joyful, but confident."
  516. [16:58] <FallenLegion> " Nobody /wants/ to see me, either." He glares.
  517. [16:59] <Pemander> He looks to Spade. "Then try smiling like you walk into a room and everyone there is inferior to you."
  518. [16:59] <Ragazzo> James is puttering around the barracks in search of beck.
  519. [16:59] <SGTDan> The smile fades form his blue tinted skin and a new one, one that he used during officer meetings. A confident smile that showed off that he earned his place.
  520. [16:59] <Pemander> "That's good, Beck. Very good."
  521. [16:59] <FallenLegion> Spade flashes a smile akin to the nightmares only the Damned may dream.
  522. [17:00] <Pemander> "Spade, that's..."
  523. [17:00] <Pemander> Redact spade.
  524. [17:00] <Pemander> "...that's good?"
  525. [17:00] <SGTDan> Opening his eyes Beck looks at him, "That was for?"
  526. [17:00] <Pemander> "I'm trying to understand Candy."
  527. [17:00] <Pemander> "Will you try something for me?"
  528. [17:01] <SGTDan> "Within reason..."
  529. [17:01] <Pemander> "I would like you to go out into the main hall, and act as if Candy is in the military, but she's a lower rank than you."
  530. [17:01] <Pemander> "You have to respect her, but you can tell her what to do at the same time. Or not tell her what to do."
  531. [17:02] <Pemander> "Don't act confused."
  532. [17:02] <Halvors> {/iftherewassomewayofblushingreallycutelymentallythiswouldbeit/} "...Jackie?"
  533. [17:02] <Pemander> "Act like you know exactly what you are doing."
  534. [17:02] <FallenLegion> Spade is still glaring at Matthius.
  535. [17:02] <FallenLegion> ias*
  536. [17:02] <Pemander> He looks at Spade. "Is something on my face?"
  537. [17:03] <FallenLegion> " Only ugly. " He grins.
  538. [17:03] <Pemander> "I get that a lot." He nods.
  539. [17:03] <SGTDan> Swallowing Beck nods "I have...experience doing that...."
  540. [17:03] <Pemander> "Good, Beck. I know that you can handle this."
  541. [17:03] <Pemander> "It might even be a good experience for you. A reminder of the old days."
  542. [17:04] <SGTDan> "You sure...thats going to....work?" Theres doubt in his voice
  543. [17:04] <Pemander> "I'm not sure. But I don't think it can make things much worse."
  544. [17:04] <FallenLegion> " Nobody is sure of anything in this place. " He mutters angrily.
  545. [17:04] <Halvors> Sven continues standing, blushing. He's... unusually cute when he's like this. It makes him seem like he's seventeen all over again, before he started fighting horrible terrible things that tore the innocence out of him years and years ago.
  546. [17:05] <SGTDan> Coughing as he nods and leaves the bar, exiting into the Main Hall. His hands are behind his back and a stern look on his face like he was when he trained cadets.
  547. [17:06] <Sequence> Candy is curled up in a corner, pouting at her knees and petting Roberto.
  548. [17:06] <FallenLegion> Spade follows Beck.
  549. [17:06] <Pemander> Matthias comes too.
  550. [17:06] <SGTDan> "On your feet ma'am." Beck says with a commanding voice but not yelling.
  551. [17:08] <Sequence> Candy scrambles to her feet, locking her hands behind her back.
  552. [17:08] <FallenLegion> Spade glares at Candy.
  553. [17:09] <Sequence> She grins at him.
  554. [17:11] <SGTDan> Clearing his throat Beck looks her in the eyes, apprising her like a drill instructor evaluates a recruit, "Your paint...is smeared..."
  555. [17:11] <Sequence> She nods silently, scuffing her foot on the ground.
  556. [17:12] <SGTDan> "How did that...happen ma'am?" His eyes don't move from her face nor does his stern look.
  557. [17:13] *** Halvors is now known as Sven

  561. [17:13] <Sequence> "Doggie..." Candy mumbles, looking down atht eground.
  562. [17:13] <Sequence> *at the ground
  563. [17:14] <Spade> Spade looks at the mutt.
  564. [17:15] <SGTDan> "Well from now...on you are to...keep your....face paint....in perfect condition....do I make myself /clear/?" More emphasis on clear with a slight tone of anger.
  565. [17:15] <Sequence> She nods vigorously, not looking him in the eye. "Mmhm."
  566. [17:16] *** Sven is now known as Halvors
  567. [17:17] *** Spade is now known as FallenLegion
  568. [17:17] <FallenLegion> " And no more spitting."
  569. [17:17] <SGTDan> "Good ma'am....now I shall....lay out a few....more ground rules....if you...are to....be in this....platoon..." Beck says unmoving "Listen closely...I loathe to....repeat myself...."
  570. [17:19] <Sequence> Candy ignores Beck quite obviously as she nods at Beck.
  571. [17:19] <Halvors> Sven is still in a status of blushing-limbo.
  572. [17:19] <Sequence> *ignores SPADE
  573. [17:19] <Sequence> *SPAAAAAAAAAAAAADE
  574. [17:20] <Ragazzo> James strolls up behind candy, passing her by, but sees that beck is talking to the psycho clown, and waits.
  575. [17:20] <Sequence> Candy is in a corner.
  576. [17:20] <Sequence> Does James appear from the wall?
  577. [17:20] <Pemander> He's a ghost.
  578. [17:20] <Sequence> Ghost James.,
  579. [17:21] <FallenLegion> Spade resumes glaring.
  580. [17:21] <Ragazzo> James breaks the wal ldown like a boss. No, he walks up behind beck then.
  581. [17:21] <Sequence> Candy glances at Spade and glares for just a moment.
  582. [17:22] <FallenLegion> Spade does a mocking curtsy.
  583. [17:23] <SGTDan> Making a loud cough Beck taps his heavy boot, "Good, one...you will refrain...from fighting....in the bar....that is a cease fire zone....two...you will....check in with...me every day....tell me what...you plan on doing....third...you are not allowed to.....fight anyone unless...I give you explicit permission... .
  584. [17:23] <Pemander> Matthias lightly elbows Spade in the side and whispers, "Stop."
  585. [17:23] <FallenLegion> " DON'T TOUCH ME." Spade shoves him.
  586. [17:23] <Pemander> Matthias stumbles back.
  587. [17:23] <Pemander> "What a violent reaction."
  588. [17:24] <Sequence> Candy nods vigorously, looking up at him from beneath her eyelashes. "Okay."
  589. [17:24] <Ragazzo> The head of jame's axe goes 'Tink!' on the floor of the house. He looks warningly at Spade.
  590. [17:24] <Ragazzo> "Beat it, punk."
  591. [17:24] <FallenLegion> " Hey Stumpy, what's up? The forest is that way." He grins.
  592. [17:26] <SGTDan> Finally....and lastly....you are free....to talk to....freely about anything....you wish...." He pauses and gives a stern look "Failure to follow...any of these....will be dealt with harshly...and without warning....do not test me ma'am. One last...thing...if I do something....wrong go...to Matt...."
  593. [17:26] <Sequence> Candy looks confused about the first statement, accepting of the second, and downright terrified of the third.
  594. [17:27] <Ragazzo> James' arm moves, axe swishing through the air.
  595. [17:27] <SGTDan> "You will...treat Matt as...my second....do you understand....you will show him...all the respect...you give me...." Beck looks at her "Do I make...myself absoltuly clear...?"
  596. [17:28] <FallenLegion> " Hey pal, you got an /axe/ to grind? "
  597. [17:28] <Ragazzo> 6d6 It's aimed at his neck.
  598. [17:28] <CROM> Ragazzo: It's aimed at his neck.: 23 (6d6=2, 2, 5, 6, 6, 2)
  599. [17:28] <FallenLegion> 4d6 I'm fucked.
  600. [17:28] <CROM> FallenLegion: I'm fucked.: 13 (4d6=1, 4, 6, 2)
  601. [17:28] <Sequence> "Y-yes, sir." Candy whimpers.
  602. [17:28] <Pemander> Matthias silently facepalms.
  603. [17:28] <Sequence> She casts a frightened look at Matthias.
  604. [17:29] <SGTDan> "Good ma'am...you are free to leave.....and remember the guidelines...I will not tolerate failure..." Beck says sternly
  605. [17:29] <Ragazzo> Spade will feel a cold sharp edge against his throat, just barely. It's held there. James looks at him quietly. "I can chop trees in half. What do you think I could do to your neck."
  606. [17:29] <Pemander> "Beck...to the bar."
  607. [17:29] <Pemander> Matthias whispers this.
  608. [17:29] <Sequence> She shrinks back into her corner, nodding fearfully.
  609. [17:29] <Pemander> Without looking at him.
  610. [17:30] <Pemander> He returns to the bar.
  611. [17:30] <SGTDan> Turning on his heel like a well trained DI, Beck motions for James and goes back to the bar.
  612. [17:30] <Pemander> "You...you remember when I said things couldn't get worse?"
  613. [17:30] <Pemander> "I think that they are worse."
  614. [17:30] <Ragazzo> James waves his stump. "Just a second. Teaching this asshole a lesson."
  615. [17:31] <Sequence> Candy sinks to her feet and curls up tight in a ball.
  616. [17:31] <FallenLegion> " What do you think I care you do, if I was willing to antagonize a man with an axe."
  617. [17:31] <Sequence> She doesn't even try to watch Spade and James, she just shivers.
  618. [17:31] <Ragazzo> "...that sentence made /no/ sense."
  619. [17:31] <Pemander> "You shouldn't have said that I was your second in command."
  620. [17:31] <Tom90deg> Darius is still in the ol bar! He's moved to Mahjong. He'll find some game he can beat Bernard at...
  621. [17:31] <Pemander> "I can't talk to her anymore."
  622. [17:31] <Pemander> "My neutral position is ruined."
  623. [17:32] <FallenLegion> " Nothing here makes sense. "
  624. [17:32] <SGTDan> "Well thats all...fair....I'm sure....Jackie can...take your place..."
  625. [17:32] <Ragazzo> "You're an idiot, aren't you."
  626. [17:32] <Pemander> "She'll have to."
  627. [17:32] <Pemander> "There's nothing more that I can do."
  628. [17:32] <Pemander> "You had it /so close/."
  629. [17:32] <FallenLegion> " I may be many things, but an idiot isn't one of them. I'd prefer lunatic."
  630. [17:32] <Pemander> He sighs and leans against the bar.
  631. [17:33] <Pemander> "I hate for people to be afraid of me."
  632. [17:33] <SGTDan> "I think I...nailed it...you are...just the go...to guys still..if I make a... mistake in...her eyes....
  633. [17:34] <Ragazzo> "No. You're definitely stupid. Because you have spent our entire time here gettings in fights, and then /losing/."
  634. [17:34] <Pemander> He shakes his head.
  635. [17:34] <FallenLegion> " Hey, I won most of some of those."
  636. [17:34] <Ragazzo> "No. You didn't."
  637. [17:34] <Pemander> "You're going to need to have someone take you out for certain, now."
  638. [17:34] <Pemander> "It's the only way to fix that."
  639. [17:35] <Pemander> "I still recommend Tyke, but Spade could also work."
  640. [17:35] <Ragazzo> "I cant really believe that, because right now, you're a second away from dying to a man with one arm."
  641. [17:35] <Pemander> "He's not much more than a rabid dog, it seems."
  642. [17:35] <Pemander> "Though, that might not be the best person to put in charge of Candy."
  643. [17:35] <SGTDan> "I have...already made...an effort to...be the alpah...no way Iam...backing out...now" Beck says
  644. [17:35] <Pemander> "Well good luck, because you're going to need it."
  645. [17:35] <FallenLegion> " And? If it's a fight it's a good way to die."
  646. [17:35] *** Sequence has quit IRC: Ping timeout
  647. [17:36] <Pemander> He walks back out of the bar and into the main hall.
  648. [17:36] <SGTDan> "What did I...do wrong...?FIne....be like that..." Beck says
  649. [17:37] <Ragazzo> "Not really."
  650. [17:37] <Tom90deg> Darius glances at Beck. "I think you're sending Candy mixed signals. And she dosn't deal well with mixed signals."

  653. [17:38] <FallenLegion> " Whatever you say Stumpy, it's either fight or you going back to the lumberyard. "
  654. [17:38] <SGTDan> "I think I....fixed that..." He says
  655. [17:38] <FallenLegion> it's either a fight*
  656. [17:38] <Ragazzo> "I'll just wait for you to die in the house."
  657. [17:38] <Pemander> "Are you two still at odds?"
  658. [17:38] <Pemander> Matthias walks up next to James.
  659. [17:38] <Tom90deg> "I don't know. You told her "If I Do Something Wrong." You're alpha, you think she'd complain against you?"
  660. [17:39] <Ragazzo> "He's just stupid."
  661. [17:39] <Ragazzo> Shrug.
  662. [17:39] <SGTDan> "Standard procedure....in the military....have someone they...can go to...when they...can't go to....you..."
  663. [17:39] <Ragazzo> "I don't really care about the guy either way."
  664. [17:40] <Tom90deg> "She's not military. She operates on a whole diffrent set of morals and procedures, but it's ok. You did your best, and maybe, if we're really lucky, she'll get some new ideas about how to deal with things."
  665. [17:40] <Ragazzo> James looks around. Beck...beck.
  666. [17:40] <SGTDan> (Bar James)
  667. [17:41] <Ragazzo> James goes to the bar.
  668. [17:41] <Ragazzo> "Beck, needed to talk?"
  669. [17:41] <FallenLegion> Spade goes to the bar, laughing and muttering to himself.
  670. [17:41] <SGTDan> "True enough...I just hope...she copes with..it..." Beck brightens up "James man!" Slides a bottle of whiskey to him "Sit and...lets chat..."
  671. [17:42] <Ragazzo> James sits, and pours himself some whiskey.
  672. [17:42] <Ragazzo> "What's on your mind, friend?"
  673. [17:42] <Ragazzo> He pours some for beck.
  674. [17:44] <SGTDan> "Look James....I like you...and I appreciate your....commitment..." Beck starts looking at the glass longingly "I was in....the barracks....the other day..."
  675. [17:45] <FallenLegion> Spade sits next to Beck and James
  676. [17:46] <Ragazzo> "...one second."
  677. [17:46] <Ragazzo> James looks at spade. "Get the hell away from us."
  678. [17:47] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at Beck
  679. [17:47] <SGTDan> Beck looks at Spade with a look that says "please"
  680. [17:49] <FallenLegion> Spade walks away from the table, muttering to himself.
  681. [17:49] <Ragazzo> "Anyway, what about the barracks."
  682. [17:50] <Ragazzo> He's looking cautiously at beck.
  683. [17:51] <SGTDan> "I overheard...parts of it...anyway...." Beck says "You and Layla...."
  684. [17:52] <Ragazzo> "It was an accident. Nothing happened."
  685. [17:52] <Ragazzo> "That's all there is to it."

  688. [17:57] <SGTDan> Laying a hand on his shoulder "Please heed my...advice friend....my heart is cold and dead.....yours...is beating strong....don't waste it....live again...for yourself....for your family...."
  689. [17:57] <Drewbear> Jackie stops rubbing her eyes and slowly lowers her hands
  690. [17:57] <Drewbear> "Oh."
  691. [17:58] <Ragazzo> James swirled the drink in his glass, staring into it. HE breathes out slowly. "...I just...don't know."
  692. [17:58] <Halvors> Sven clears his throat a bit, and stares at his feet.
  693. [17:58] <FallenLegion> Spade stands in the bar, watching Beck and James.
  694. [17:58] <Drewbear> {Sven... I'm sorry, but I don't feel that way about you. I don't feel that way about *anyone*}
  695. [17:58] <SGTDan> "What don't you....know....lay out for me...."
  696. [17:58] *** Heiden has joined #TamlinHouse
  697. [17:58] *** ChanServ sets mode +o Heiden
  698. [17:59] <Drewbear> {I won't tell you to stop loving me, because love doesn't work like that.}
  699. [17:59] <Drewbear> {But don't block it away either. That's not healthy. Remember what happened when you blocked the wisps.}
  700. [17:59] <Drewbear> { /platonic love and caring/ }
  701. [18:00] <Halvors> {I can do it. Really...}
  702. [18:00] <Halvors> He's actually really good at bottling parts of himself up indefinately and otherwise manipulating himself.
  703. [18:00] <Halvors> He squeezes his eyes shut for a moment and Jackie can tell that he's doing something mentally.
  704. [18:01] <Ragazzo> James shrugs. "Layla's a good woman. She's...I don't know. A friend. As much as you can only be friends with a woman."
  705. [18:01] <Halvors> After a few moments, he opens them again. {/love, less romantic/ it's better. Still have to work on it.}
  706. [18:02] <Halvors> He smiles. "I understand. It won't bother you again."
  707. [18:02] <Halvors> He turns to walk off and get some booze at the bar.
  708. [18:02] <SGTDan> "Don't lie to yourself...." Beck says "I see it in her...eyes too...."
  709. [18:03] <Halvors> Sven's going through a bit of emotional turmoil, but it's... dulled. Numbed, even.
  710. [18:03] <Drewbear> Jackie sighs and stares after Sven in sadness
  711. [18:03] *** Sequence has joined #TamlinHouse
  712. [18:04] <Halvors> Sven walks into the bar, idly chewing his lower lip.
  713. [18:04] <Halvors> He orders a bottleful of vodka.
  714. [18:05] <FallenLegion> Spade walks up to Sven.
  715. [18:05] <Ragazzo> James snorts. "I don't..." He drains his whiskey, and grimaces. "I don't even know how to read a woman's eyes anymore. I only ever had to understand my evvy for so long..."
  716. [18:05] <Halvors> He looks around idly at everyone else in the bar, his eyes lingering on Spade.
  717. [18:05] <SGTDan> "Let me tell...you something...the first thing we learned at...in training in not...to be afraid...its takes...balls to be in space....and ride a rocket up...there..." He says looking at James "God find her...tell her how you....really feel without...fear...be confident..."
  718. [18:06] <Halvors> "Spade. You wanna talk, fuck, or fight? We can do all three, if you want."
  719. [18:06] <FallenLegion> Spade recoils. " Wha..?"
  720. [18:06] <Halvors> Sven shrugs and pours two shots of vodka, immediately draining one.
  721. [18:07] <FallenLegion> " Or we could drink." Spade offers, and takes a step back from Sven.
  722. [18:07] <Halvors> Sven slides the other shot over. "Fine."
  723. [18:07] <Drewbear> Jackie goes into the baths to wash up
  724. [18:08] <Halvors> Sven pours out some more shots. He downs another.
  725. [18:08] <Halvors> "Anyone else want some? It's on me."
  726. [18:08] <Halvors> Each shot helps. He can bury this. Like he always buried everything else.
  727. [18:09] <Halvors> ~Remember your training. Mental conditioning... courses... from Father Francis.~
  728. [18:10] <Ragazzo> James inhales another glass of whiskey with a grunt.
  729. [18:10] <Ragazzo> "We'll see."
  730. [18:10] <Ragazzo> "It was good talking to you."
  731. [18:10] <FallenLegion> Spade takes a shot.
  732. [18:11] <SGTDan> "As it was...you..." Beck nods and pats his back
  733. [18:11] <Halvors> There's plenty more where it came from, and Sven slides Spade another.
  734. [18:11] <Sequence> Candy shivers in the main hall. Layla thinks in the barracks.
  735. [18:11] <Halvors> He's on his fourth.
  736. [18:11] <Halvors> ~Thass right. Just keep it all deep under there. Nice and buried and dead.~
  737. [18:11] <FallenLegion> " You drink like a troubled man."
  738. [18:11] <Halvors> He downs a fifth now. "And you don't drink enough."
  739. [18:12] <Halvors> Sven left his book in the barracks, sitting next to Jackie's bunk.
  740. [18:12] <Ragazzo> James nods, getting up. And heads to the barracks to think. He passes by layla's bed. Awkwardly nods, pausing. "Uh...."
  741. [18:12] <Halvors> He doesn't realize this at the moment.
  742. [18:12] <FallenLegion> " I have nothing to drown out." He shrugs.
  743. [18:12] <SGTDan> Beck gets up and moves for the patio but decides for the baths, his suit is dirty.
  744. [18:13] <Halvors> "Just shut up and drink." Glare.
  745. [18:13] <FallenLegion> Spade does as he is told.
  746. [18:13] <Drewbear> Jackie walks back into the barracks. She forgot her shampoo
  747. [18:13] <Halvors> "I changed my mind, Drink, Fuck, or fight. I don't want to deal with talking right now."
  748. [18:14] <Sequence> She's sitting on her bed, one leg drawn to her chest, her stump straight out in front of her, empty trouser leg trailing down from it. Layla looks up from her medical journal, a flicker of some strange emotion passing over her face.
  749. [18:14] <Halvors> The book is right there, rather obvious.
  750. [18:14] <Drewbear> Jackie waves at Layla on her way to her bunk
  751. [18:14] <Drewbear> She sees the book laying on top of the footlocker
  752. [18:14] <FallenLegion> " Last time I fought today my shank got taken away."
  753. [18:14] <Sequence> Layla glances over at Jackie and nods, face bland.
  754. [18:14] <Halvors> It's bound with black leather...
  755. [18:15] <Halvors> "Then drink or fuck."
  756. [18:15] <Drewbear> ~Huh. I wonder what this is.~
  757. [18:15] <Halvors> He shrugs.
  758. [18:15] <Drewbear> Jackie picks it up and starts flipping through it
  759. [18:15] <FallenLegion> Spade :|
  760. [18:15] <FallenLegion> Spade :|'s
  761. [18:15] <Ragazzo> James rubs his face, and goes to stand beside her bed. "...hey. Can...we. I wanted to ask you osmething."
  762. [18:15] <Halvors> Sven idly stares at his sixth? shot.
  763. [18:15] <SGTDan> Beck enters the bath and sits on he edge of one of the pools, he begins to play with the water. Treading it with the large white gloves absently.
  764. [18:15] <Halvors> Jackie, the book is divided up into parts.
  765. [18:16] <Drewbear> ~It's a... journal? of some kind?~
  766. [18:16] <Halvors> The first is basically a diary. It's rather bland, but near the end, it talks about Jackie. A lot. Like she's some kind of savior.
  767. [18:16] <FallenLegion> Spade takes a third shot.
  768. [18:16] <Drewbear> Jackie sits on her bunk, reading the book
  769. [18:16] <Halvors> Two pages have been torn out right after one discussing the potential targets of a bomb.
  770. [18:17] <Drewbear> Her face starts getting ashen as she reads further
  771. [18:17] <Sequence> She pulls her leg a little closer to her, pressing the pages of the journal against her chest. "...Sure."
  772. [18:17] <Halvors> Then starts the religious stuff... this section starts with a weird sigle. It looks like a cross?
  773. [18:17] <Halvors> With some extra things.... it looks rather jagged and harsh.
  774. [18:18] <Halvors> After that, it starts with a heavily-edited preface.
  775. [18:18] <Ragazzo> He rifles in his shirt pocket a bit.
  776. [18:18] <Ragazzo> Pulls out a blonde hair.
  777. [18:19] <Ragazzo> "Why was this on my shirt."
  778. [18:19] <Drewbear> Jackie puts her hand to her mouth in horror.
  779. [18:19] <Halvors> It talks about the house rather... reverently.
  780. [18:19] <Drewbear> ~Oh no. /Oh no!/ ~
  781. [18:19] <Halvors> And about Good and Evil and sacrifice...
  782. [18:19] <Halvors> sacrifice comes up.
  783. [18:19] <Halvors> a lot.
  784. [18:20] <Sequence> Layla stiffens and blushes a little, but raises her eyebrows. "Because we hang out? Hair does get everywhere."
  785. [18:20] <Halvors> There's even a paragraph about why God accepts Martyrs into his heart for their compassionate destruction.
  786. [18:20] <Sequence> She flaps the pages of the journal and turns back to reading.
  787. [18:21] <Ragazzo> "This was a clean shirt."
  788. [18:21] <Ragazzo> "I'd just washed it."
  789. [18:21] <Halvors> Sven, meanwhile, has just downed the next shot.
  790. [18:21] <FallenLegion> " Maybe you should take something bigger if you want to forget. "
  791. [18:21] *** Pemander has quit IRC: Quit: (Link: http://www.mibbit.com)http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client
  792. [18:22] <Halvors> "When I want to forget I ushually find some guy to fuck. 'n 's clear y'ain't intershted."
  793. [18:22] <FallenLegion> Spade takes another step back. :|
  794. [18:22] <Halvors> Sven shrugs slightly at this.
  795. [18:23] <FallenLegion> " Why not go try the Lumberjack?"
  796. [18:23] <Sequence> Layla doesn't bring her eyes up from the fascinating treatise on different way to treat kidney stones. "Did you fold it with other clothes?"
  797. [18:24] <Drewbear> Jackie hides the book in her locker (remember they can only be opened by their owners) and sits, looking thoughtful and scared
  798. [18:24] *** Drewbear is now known as Drewbear|away
  799. [18:25] <Halvors> "He'd cut my fucking balls off."
  800. [18:25] <FallenLegion> " I doubt your using them anyways. "

  803. [18:25] <Ragazzo> "I don't /have/ other shirts."
  804. [18:25] <Halvors> "Ahahaha."
  805. [18:26] <Halvors> Sven is too drunk to do much of anything.
  806. [18:26] <Ragazzo> "Some /woman/ *doctor* keeps burning them."
  807. [18:26] <FallenLegion> " Well, have fun with that. " He walks off to the patio.
  808. [18:26] <Sequence> "I said other /clothes/, James, not just shirts."
  809. [18:27] *** Halvors is now known as Hal|Showering
  810. [18:27] <Ragazzo> "I don't have other /pants/ either."
  811. [18:28] <Ragazzo> "You burned /those/ too."
  812. [18:28] <Sequence> She raises her eyebrows high. "Jeez, you wear that day in and day out?"
  813. [18:29] <SGTDan> Beck begins to clean his suit, slowly and thoughtfully. Reaching onto his shoulder he grips the American flag patch. With a grimace he rips it away from the velcro before tossing it in the corner. The astronaut then rips off his name patch but instead stares at his last name.
  814. [18:30] <Ragazzo> "I don't really have a choice, do I."
  815. [18:30] <Ragazzo> "You're dodging the point, layla."
  816. [18:31] <Sequence> "I'm sure you could get Bernard to give you some clothes."
  817. [18:31] <Ragazzo> He flatfaces at her. "Layla."
  818. [18:31] <Sequence> She looks up at him from her magazine. "What?"
  819. [18:31] <FallenLegion> " What're you doing now, Tinman? "
  820. [18:32] <SGTDan> Beck looks up from his intense staring, "What are...you doing in the...baths....?"
  821. [18:33] <FallenLegion> " I think I asked first."
  822. [18:33] <SGTDan> "Cleaning my suit....."
  823. [18:34] <Ragazzo> He inhales slowly. Drops the hair. "Whatever. I can tell you're...whatever."
  824. [18:34] <FallenLegion> " Do you always rip off patches when you do such?"
  825. [18:34] <Sequence> Layla frowns, closing the magazine. "Can tell I'm /what/."
  826. [18:35] <SGTDan> "I see no need... for identity.... " Beck says looking at the name patch "I am dead...who cares which....country or...what my name...was...."
  827. [18:36] <FallenLegion> " We do. " He glares. " As long as you are here you're with us, regardless."
  828. [18:37] <Ragazzo> "*Really*. Really? You're going to get mad at /me/. I'm not the one /lying/."
  829. [18:37] <SGTDan> "You know me...as Tinman....everyone here...calls same nickname...." Shrugging he tosses the name patch away "Its all...memories of a...painful past...."
  830. [18:38] <Sequence> Layla scowls at James. "Lying. Really."
  831. [18:39] *** Hal|Showering is now known as Halvors
  832. [18:39] <Halvors> Sven sighs and exits the bar, staggering to the barracks.
  833. [18:39] <FallenLegion> " I know what it is to lose your name, you have a chance to keep yours. Don't throw it away."
  834. [18:39] <SGTDan> "It is a dead...named...the Kirk Beck died...in space a long...time ago...."
  835. [18:40] <Ragazzo> "You're not telling the truth, that's for damn sure!" He rubs his face, and mumbles, taking a slow breath, and releasing it. "Just...forget it. I give up. I shouldn't have eve-ugh."
  836. [18:40] <Halvors> Sven walks into the baths instead. "Uh... welp."
  837. [18:40] <FallenLegion> " If you can remember your training and past, then death isn't your end."
  838. [18:40] <Sequence> "What do you want me to say, James."
  839. [18:41] <Halvors> He hops into a bath, sighing.
  840. [18:41] <SGTDan> "Barely remember....it comes in broken...bit like shattered glass..." Beck says furrowing his brow
  841. [18:41] <Sequence> Layla sighs, tapping the magazine against the bed.
  842. [18:42] <Ragazzo> "I don't know, /alright/. You obviously don't want to talk to me at a-christ, read your damn magazine." He turns and stomps away to his bed.
  843. [18:43] <FallenLegion> " Well even if it is broke, it's coming back. If you throw it away now you won't be able to get another chance to be whole again."
  844. [18:44] <SGTDan> "I am...never going to...have a beat heart....feel breath in...my lungs...I am /dead/....there is no chance...for me..."
  845. [18:44] <Sequence> "James, wait-" Layla calls after him, swinging her legs over the side of the bed and reaching for her leg.
  846. [18:45] <FallenLegion> " If you believed that you wouldn't stay alive and help others. If you had no hope you wouldn't still try to save everyone you can."
  847. [18:46] <Ragazzo> James waits, turning around.
  848. [18:46] <SGTDan> "I want to...be dead but...something is preventing me...from dying...I am resigned to...this fate..." He says not looking pleased
  849. [18:48] <Sequence> "James. What do you want me to say." Layla says frankly, strapping her leg on and standing up.
  850. [18:48] <FallenLegion> " If you want to be dead, throw away everything you have, your purpose, your friends. " Spade glares. " Then shut up and die. But I've seen you enough to know that is not who you are."
  851. [18:49] *** Pemander has joined #TamlinHouse
  852. [18:50] <SGTDan> "Of course not...if it was as easy and finding...a corner...to die in...I wouldn't...be here....until I find...a way to end..it I will be.....here..." Comes the snappy reply
  853. [18:50] <Ragazzo> "I don't know! I want you to stop lying! Are you going to honestly tell me you don't know?"
  854. [18:51] <Pemander> Matthias walk out into the Main Hall.
  855. [18:51] <Pemander> walks*I
  856. [18:51] <FallenLegion> " Well then, until you find a way out, stay who you are."
  857. [18:52] <Sequence> "No." She says simply, looking down at her leg.
  858. [18:52] <SGTDan> "There is no...out for me...." Beck says finally "Even if it...was offered...."
  859. [18:52] <Ragazzo> James blinks. "No?"
  860. [18:53] <Sequence> "I am not going to honestly tell you I don't know." She stresses the word honestly faintly.
  861. [18:54] <SGTDan> "Thank you Spade...." Beck says falling silent and staring at his empty shoulder
  862. [18:55] <Ragazzo> "..." He sits on the floor, rubbing his left arm. "...but you won't tell me what happened?"
  863. [18:55] <FallenLegion> Spade walks off to the Main Hall.
  864. [18:55] <Pemander> Matthias stares at Spade.
  865. [18:55] <Sequence> "Exactly." Layla says quietly, resting her hand on her knee.
  866. [18:55] <Ragazzo> "..."
  867. [18:56] <FallenLegion> Spade glares at Matthias. " If it isn't the resident loony."
  868. [18:56] <Sequence> She sighs and rubs her face.
  869. [18:56] <Pemander> "Said the rabid dog."
  870. [18:56] <Ragazzo> "...you aren't being fair...."
  871. [18:57] <Sequence> "I know I'm not." Layla sounds tired.
  872. [18:57] <FallenLegion> " I may be a dog, but you're the mutt. "
  873. [18:58] <Pemander> "You're so eager to hate everyone, aren't you?"
  874. [18:58] <FallenLegion> " Not /everyone/ I will settle for most. "
  875. [18:58] <Ragazzo> He looks up at her. "Didn't sleep well?"
  876. [18:59] <Sequence> "Something like that." She sighs and takes her leg off again, setting it carefully back down next to her bed.
  877. [18:59] <Pemander> "Perhaps you should channel that rage into something useful."
  878. [18:59] <Pemander> "Besides snarling and biting."
  879. [18:59] <FallenLegion> " There's nothing useful here to do."
  880. [18:59] <Ragazzo> "...why not."
  881. [18:59] <Ragazzo> James gets up, crossing over to her bed.
  882. [19:00] <Pemander> "There's always something useful. Just stop being dense and look harder."
  883. [19:01] <Ragazzo> Hop is watching james and layla. And taking notes. From under a bed.
  884. [19:01] <FallenLegion> Spade glares.
  885. [19:01] <Sequence> Layla swings her legs back onto her bed. "Thinking."
  886. [19:01] <Pemander> "What, no response?"
  887. [19:01] <Ragazzo> "About?" He sits on the edge of the bed, looking at her.
  888. [19:02] <Halvors> Sven just sits in his bath.
  889. [19:03] <Sequence> She picks the magazine back up and looks at the cover. "This situation."
  890. [19:03] <FallenLegion> " You piss me off. "
  891. [19:03] <Ragazzo> "Don't /ignore/ me." He snatches her magazine, scowling at her.
  892. [19:03] <Pemander> "Do something about it."
  893. [19:04] <FallenLegion> " Not the time or place."
  894. [19:04] <Sequence> "I wasn't!" Layla scowls back at him. "I was looking at a goddamn magazine cover." She snatches it back.
  895. [19:04] <Pemander> Matthias grins.
  896. [19:04] <Pemander> "That doesn't sound like a rabid dog."
  897. [19:05] <Ragazzo> He doesn't let her. "Yeah, and you were reading it earlier, while I was /talking/ to you. How the hell am I supposed to feel about that?"
  898. [19:05] <Halvors> Sven walks past both of them while he heads to his bunk.
  899. [19:06] <Sequence> Layla stretches for it as much as she can. "I thought you were just- oh /never mind/. She huffs and leans away from him, folding her arms over her chest.
  900. [19:07] <FallenLegion> Spade glares more.
  901. [19:07] <Halvors> He heads over and sees Layla and James arguing. Again.
  902. [19:07] <Halvors> "Will you two come off it already?"
  903. [19:07] <Pemander> Matthias's impassive grin remains settled on his face.
  904. [19:07] <Halvors> He rolls his eyes as he heads to his bunk and lies down.
  905. [19:09] <FallenLegion> Spade mutters something to himself and walks to the patio.
  906. [19:09] <Halvors> Only then he realizes that he doesn't have his book.
  907. [19:09] <Halvors> "Oh shit, oh shit..."
  908. [19:09] <Halvors> He begins frantically searching his footlocker.
  909. [19:10] <Ragazzo> James looks lke he's about to calm down a bit, when sven pipes up, and his face goes hard with boiled over frustration. "Fine, fuck it. *Never* *mind*. Just forget EVERYTHING. Jesus fucking christ." He drops her magazine, which is crumpled now, and marches away.
  910. [19:11] <Pemander> "What a strange man."
  911. [19:11] <Pemander> Matthias twirls his cane and goes to the bar.
  912. [19:11] <Halvors> Sven tosses shit out of his footlocker, books, some guns, a vest...
  913. [19:11] <Halvors> "Where the fuck..."
  914. [19:11] <FallenLegion> Spade angrily paces around the patio.
  915. [19:12] <Sequence> Layla shoots a glare at Sven and opens her mouth to respond to James, but then he stomps away. "Wh- James! God /dammit/, Sven!" She swings her legs over the side of her bed.
  916. [19:12] <Halvors> "What did I do?"
  917. [19:13] <Halvors> Sven is still rummaging, and tosses out a small satchel. Some carefully packaged pieces of c4 tumble out.
  918. [19:13] <Sequence> "Opened your fucking mouth is what you did! Where'd you get the idea you could butt in on people's conversations?"
  919. [19:13] <Halvors> He seems to either not notice or care.
  920. [19:13] <Sequence> Layla snaps at Sven, strapping her leg on with angry motions.
  921. [19:13] <Halvors> "Whatever..."
  922. [19:14] <Halvors> Another pouch, this one rolling another grenade shell out on the floor.
  923. [19:14] <Sequence> "Oh, fuck you too." She snaps again at him, standing up and limping after James.
  924. [19:15] <Ragazzo> James has stormed to the baths, and is soaking his feet in a pool.
  925. [19:15] <Halvors> ~I swear that cunt needs to calm the fuck down all over again...~ after completely going through the footlocker, he stares at it.
  926. [19:15] <Halvors> "Where the fuck?"
  927. [19:16] <FallenLegion> Spade sits on the ground, brooding.
  928. [19:17] <SGTDan> Beck watches James storm in the pool with a raised eyebrow. Doesn't move form his bench though and instead stays silent.
  929. [19:17] <Sequence> But Layla is too late in starting off, and doesn't know where James is. She stands in the Main Hall and feels like an absolute ass despite the fact that it was fucking Sven that set him off.
  930. [19:18] <Pemander> "Are you okay, Layla?"
  931. [19:18] <Pemander> Matthias is leaning against the wall with his cane in his right hand.
  932. [19:18] <Pemander> Incognito.
  933. [19:18] <Sequence> "Apparently, James is pissed at me, but he was calming down until fucking /Sven/ had to interrupt, and then he stomped off and I have no idea where he is.:
  934. [19:18] <Sequence> "Have you seen him?"
  935. [19:19] <Pemander> "No, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
  936. [19:19] <Halvors> Sven hurredly stuffs his stuff back into the footlocker before continuing his frantic search.
  937. [19:19] <FallenLegion> Spade ceases his brooding and goes back to the baths.
  938. [19:19] <Pemander> "Though there were some heavy footfalls going toward the baths."
  939. [19:19] <Pemander> "Perhaps he is there."
  940. [19:19] <Ragazzo> James eventually lifts a hand to wave at beck.
  941. [19:20] <Sequence> She huffs and rubs her knee, scowling. "Goddammit. How the hell do I get into these messes..."
  942. [19:20] <SGTDan> Nodding simply in response at James wave, "Everything alright...friend?"
  943. [19:20] <Pemander> "I'm sure it's just a little speed bump. A misunderstanding."
  944. [19:21] <Pemander> "Give him some time to cool off."
  945. [19:21] <Ragazzo> "Just /grand/."
  946. [19:21] <Sequence> Layla hesitates. "I just don't want the misunderstanding to compound..."
  947. [19:22] <Pemander> He nods. "I understand."
  948. [19:22] <Halvors> Sven storms into the baths and gets in one, grumbling.
  949. [19:22] <Halvors> He staggers along the way.
  950. [19:23] <SGTDan> "Tell me....you forget...." Beck smiles
  951. [19:23] <Pemander> "You two do seem to have some trouble...communicating, sometimes."
  952. [19:23] <FallenLegion> Spades sitting in the corner of the baths, drinking angrily.
  953. [19:23] <Ragazzo> "Forget...?"
  954. [19:23] <Sequence> "Yeah... But, I mean, we're still friends."
  955. [19:24] <SGTDan> "I know alot...." He smiles
  956. [19:24] <Pemander> "Of course!"
  957. [19:24] <Sequence> Layla does look uncertain about that fact, though.
  958. [19:24] <Ragazzo> "I don't understand what you're trying to say." He really doesn't. Like. He's actually confused.
  959. [19:24] <Pemander> "You spend much more time at peace than you do arguing, right? So of course you're still friends."
  960. [19:25] <SGTDan> "Just tell me...what clouds your..mind friend....theres a hurricane..brewing in those...eyes..."
  961. [19:25] <Ragazzo> He exhales slowly. "Just the usual business with layla. We'll work through it...I guess."
  962. [19:26] <SGTDan> "Please inform...me of this...sunniness because I can...tell by your...shoulders...the feelings have...not been lifted...."
  963. [19:26] <Ragazzo> "I'll be sure to do that..."
  964. [19:27] <FallenLegion> Spade glares at Sven.
  965. [19:27] <Sequence> She perks up a bit. "Yeah, I guess you're right..."
  966. [19:28] <Pemander> "Like I said, just give him a bit of space and let him come back to you."
  967. [19:28] <SGTDan> "Things would be...less painful and easier....if you simply manned up....no offense...to you as....a man...." Beck says simply and distant " The tension I....see is....great...like a steam...pipe bulging....you need to release...it before it...blows. Now...tell me...what happened?"
  968. [19:29] <Sequence> "Well... okay." She limps over closer to Matthias. "How have you been, then?"
  969. [19:30] <Pemander> He smiles. "Great. I had a run-in with the surly-looking man carrying a shank."
  970. [19:30] <Pemander> "He's delightful."
  971. [19:31] <Sequence> "The new guy?"
  972. [19:31] <Pemander> "Yeah."
  973. [19:32] <Pemander> "I think he wants to punch me."
  974. [19:32] <Sequence> Layla pauses. "And you say he's delightful?"
  975. [19:32] <Pemander> Matthias tilts his head. "Well, he's interesting I mean. That's delightful."
  976. [19:33] <Pemander> "He has spirit."
  977. [19:33] <Ragazzo> "I went to talk with her...and...I lost my temper."
  978. [19:33] <Ragazzo> James shrugs.
  979. [19:33] <Ragazzo> "I don't much want to discuss it."
  980. [19:33] <Sequence> "There's a lot of spirited people here." Her eyes drift towards the baths.
  981. [19:34] <Pemander> "Feel free to go talk to him if you want."
  982. [19:34] <Pemander> "I was only offering advice."
  983. [19:34] <Ragazzo> And a dicking.
  984. [19:35] <Sequence> "No, it's fine. It was good advice."
  985. [19:35] <SGTDan> Nodding in understanding, "I understand....I'll be quite but here...."
  986. [19:35] <Pemander> "Ah. In that case, I must be boring you."
  987. [19:35] <Pemander> "My mistake." He lifts up his cane and starts to walk to the bar.
  988. [19:35] <Sequence> "What, no! Where'd you get that from?"
  989. [19:35] <Pemander> He turns around.
  990. [19:36] <Pemander> "You looked at the baths."
  991. [19:36] <Sequence> Layla rolls her eyes. "Because I was thinking."
  992. [19:36] <FallenLegion> Spade walks to the Main Room, bored of Sven's presence.
  993. [19:37] <Pemander> "About him?"
  994. [19:37] <Sequence> She colors faintly. "And Jackie, and that crazy clown lady. There are a lot of spirited people here, is what I was saying."
  995. [19:38] <Pemander> "Hmph. The crazy clown lady."
  996. [19:38] <Pemander> "She's not actually crazy, you know."
  997. [19:38] <Sequence> Layla shrugs. "That's all I know about her. Mostly from what James told me, I've never actually met her myself."
  998. [19:39] <Pemander> "She's sort of...an animal."
  999. [19:39] <Pemander> "It's hard to explain."
  1000. [19:39] <Pemander> "But I think that she's afraid of me now. I screwed up."
  1001. [19:39] <Sequence> "Oh, that sucks. What happened?"
  1002. [19:39] <Pemander> "Well, it was, you know...a misunderstandnig."
  1003. [19:40] <FallenLegion> Spade begins lurking mode.
  1004. [19:40] <Pemander> "I tried to fix things, and they only got worse."
  1005. [19:40] <Sequence> Layla nods. "I know how that goes..."
  1006. [19:40] <Pemander> "I've been thinking it may have been better just to not get involved."
  1007. [19:40] <Pemander> "Then at least she would just be /okay/ with me instead of hating me."
  1008. [19:41] <Sequence> She furrows her brow, nodding a litlte.
  1009. [19:41] <Pemander> "But, you know. So it goes."
  1010. [19:41] <Pemander> "Can't be helped."
  1011. [19:43] <Sequence> "I dunno. There's always a way to fix things." Layla murmurs.
  1012. [19:43] <Pemander> "Sure!" He smiles.
  1013. [19:44] <Pemander> "Anyway, I have to go, Layla."
  1014. [19:44] <Pemander> "It was great talking with you."
  1015. [19:44] <Sequence> "Nice talking to you too..." She smiles weakly.
  1016. [19:44] <FallenLegion> Spade finally coughs.
  1017. [19:44] <Pemander> He walks off to the bar, nodding to Spade as he leaves.
  1018. [19:44] <Ragazzo> James wanders out the baths, having said bye to beck. He's holding his shoes, and sock unde rhis arm.
  1019. [19:45] <Ragazzo> Stops seeing layla, and awkwardly putters over. "Hey...."
  1020. [19:45] <Sequence> Layla looks up at James and stops smiling. She looks awkward and nervous. "Hey."
  1021. [19:45] <Sequence> She glances over at Spade.
  1022. [19:45] <Ragazzo> He looks the same. "...I'm sorry. I lost my temper..."
  1023. [19:45] <Ragazzo> "...you ok?" His eyes slide to spade/
  1024. [19:46] <SGTDan> Beck has moved out after James at a respectable delay but passes by Layla and him without a word, before returning to his reflection spot on the patio. Once there he flips his visor down and become still.
  1025. [19:46] <Sequence> "I, it's, it's okay." She shifts uncomfortably, glancing away. "I'm fine."
  1026. [19:46] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at James. " I've got to HAND it to you, you handled that well. "
  1027. [19:47] <Sequence> "Go away, new guy." She snaps half-heartedly.
  1028. [19:47] <Ragazzo> "...." James looks back to layla. "Layla...I..." Oh he doesn't like this..." He sets his shoes and socks down. "I'm sure you had a reason, I just..."
  1029. [19:47] <FallenLegion> " Oh, that's not friendly at all. I just come here looking to talk and I get shunned. " He pouts, mostly faking.
  1030. [19:48] <Sequence> "No, look, it's fine." Layla cuts James off, ignoring Spade. "I'm fine. Are we fine?"
  1031. [19:49] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at them.
  1032. [19:49] <Ragazzo> "We-yes..but...I was hoping we could talk it out..."
  1033. [19:50] *** Bright_ has joined #TamlinHouse
  1034. [19:50] <Sequence> "Well, we can't talk here, so I guess that's that."
  1035. [19:51] <Ragazzo> "Oh...well. We could go...somewhere else? The bar?"
  1036. [19:51] <Ragazzo> He's...confused.
  1037. [19:51] *** Bright has quit IRC: Ping timeout
  1038. [19:51] <FallenLegion> " I'll just make my leave. " He walks to the bar.
  1039. [19:53] <Sequence> She shrugs jerkily, not looking at him.

  1048. [20:00] <Sequence> "This isn't what?"
  1049. [20:02] <Ragazzo> "How...we usually are."
  1050. [20:04] <Sequence> She forces a jovial tone. "Well, we're usually yelling at each other, so this is better, right?"
  1051. [20:05] <Ragazzo> "...no, it isn't...because...well, we're at least honest then...what's wrong? Come on...."
  1052. [20:09] <Sequence> "It's nothing, really. I just talked to Matthias and... decided a few things. It's fine."
  1053. [20:10] <Ragazzo> "...what things? You can talk with me...we're friends, right?"
  1054. [20:12] <Sequence> Layla hesitates.

  1056. [20:13] <Ragazzo> He's looking at her now, eyes no lnoger angry, full of concern.
  1057. [20:14] *** SGTDan has joined #TamlinHouse
  1058. [20:17] <Sequence> "He... mentioned something similar to... our problem. Said that he was thinking that he probably shouldn't have... gotten involved at all." Layla mumbles, looking at the floor.
  1059. [20:18] <~Bright> In the distance, what sounds like a foghorn can be heard sounding morosely
  1060. [20:19] <Tom90deg> Darius at the bar looks up oddly.
  1061. [20:19] <SGTDan> Beck is a little startled
  1062. [20:19] <Ragazzo> "...I...oh..." He's quiet for a while, and then when he speaks up, it's a slow, carefulyl controlled voice. "Layla, I...am happy to know you. I think you're a wonderful woman, even if you're hard to understand, I want to to understand you, I do. You're the only person I can stand, and I really l-"
  1063. [20:19] <Ragazzo> "What was that?"
  1064. [20:19] <FallenLegion> Spade turns around.
  1065. [20:19] <Sequence> Layla looks up and towards the sound. "I don't know." She sounds a bit relieved.

  1068. [20:21] <Tom90deg> Darius glances at Bernard. "Don't suppose you've ever heard that before?"
  1069. [20:21] <Ragazzo> James turns to look as well.
  1070. [20:21] <Ragazzo> "Let's check outside?"
  1071. [20:21] <Pemander> Matthias walks into the Main Hall. "Did anyone else hear that?"
  1072. [20:21] <FallenLegion> Spade walks into the Main Hall. " You guys hear that..?"
  1073. [20:22] <~Bright> The foghorn sounds again.... And you notice, there Is a light fog creeping across the floor.
  1074. [20:22] <Pemander> "That looks ominous."
  1075. [20:22] <SGTDan> "Odd...." beck says to himself
  1076. [20:22] <Tom90deg> Darius looks down at the fog. "Oh bugger..."
  1077. [20:22] <Ragazzo> "....yes. It does."
  1078. [20:22] <FallenLegion> " If something grabs me.. "
  1079. [20:22] <Ragazzo> "Layla, come on...we should get to the barracks, away from...that."
  1080. [20:22] <choobakka> Eugene surfaces in the baths. He climbs out and towels off.
  1081. [20:23] <Sequence> "Uh... Yeah, that's a good idea." Layla backs away from the fog.
  1082. [20:23] <Pemander> "I'm going to stay here and watch, I think."
  1083. [20:23] <choobakka> He steps out of the baths and freezes. "Anyone know what this fog is?"
  1084. [20:23] <~Bright> The fog seems to be rolling in from Room 001
  1085. [20:23] <Pemander> He leans against the wall and focuses in on the door.
  1086. [20:23] <~Bright> Thicker, and thicer... climbing to about knee level now.
  1087. [20:23] <Tom90deg> Darius pokes his head out the door of the bar, looking for anyone else. "Oi, anyone around?"
  1088. [20:24] <FallenLegion> " Should we go to the door..?"
  1089. [20:24] <~Bright> Bernard...is not behind the bar.
  1090. [20:24] <Ragazzo> James follows layla, but pauses, as he backs up to pull out hsi bincolars.
  1091. [20:24] <~Bright> In fact, the fog seems thicker in the Bar, about waist level
  1092. [20:24] <Tom90deg> Darius approaches the door to room 001, and Darius gets a bit more nervous that Bernard is not there.
  1093. [20:24] <choobakka> "Who are you? And you?" Eugene shakes his head. "And... Oh shit Bernard's gone. Ha can't be good."
  1094. [20:24] <Sequence> "Uh..." Layla backs into the barracks.
  1095. [20:24] <Ragazzo> 4d6 (paranoia) He tries to look through the door if it's open
  1096. [20:24] <CROM> Ragazzo: (paranoia) He tries to look through the door if it's open: 15 (4d6=3, 5, 3, 4)
  1097. [20:25] <Tom90deg> "I'm Darius Moore. And has Bernard ever not been behind the bar?"
  1098. [20:25] <choobakka> He wraps his towel around his face to filter out any chemtrail agents in the fog.
  1099. [20:25] <choobakka> "No. He never leaves."
  1100. [20:25] <Tom90deg> "He's gone now."
  1101. [20:25] <FallenLegion> " Something tells me that means something bad.. "
  1102. [20:26] <Tom90deg> "Ok, open the door. The fog's coming through there, we need to figure this out, right?"
  1103. [20:26] <SGTDan> Beck is sealing his visor and not moving, checking his air levels
  1104. [20:26] <~Bright> Which door rags?
  1105. [20:26] <choobakka> "I guess." Eugene dons his jacket and holster. "Should probably arm up."
  1106. [20:26] <Ragazzo> 001?
  1107. [20:26] <~Bright> The room seems filled with Fog.
  1108. [20:27] <SGTDan> (Bright how does teh fog react to his natural field around him when hes resting?)
  1109. [20:27] <~Bright> ...and there ar enoises, now, from the bar. The clinking of bottles.
  1110. [20:27] <~Bright> Doesn't seem to Dan.
  1111. [20:27] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at the glasses.
  1112. [20:27] <Ragazzo> James backs away, heading after layla.
  1113. [20:27] <choobakka> "Is Bernard back?" Eugene shines a flashlight into the bar.
  1114. [20:27] <Sequence> Layla glances at James. "Do you think it's the House? Should we go exploring?"
  1115. [20:27] <Pemander> Matthias walks up to the door to Room 001.
  1116. [20:27] <Ragazzo> "....no."
  1117. [20:27] <Ragazzo> "I don't like this."
  1118. [20:28] <Pemander> He lifts his cane and pushes on the door with the end very slowly.
  1119. [20:28] <SGTDan> "Double odd...." Turning on his suit lights and slowly starts to stand, feeling his muscles expand and contract.
  1120. [20:28] <Tom90deg> "I think we should figure out what's up. Or just close the door. But we need to decide quickly."
  1121. [20:28] <FallenLegion> " I wish I had my shank at moments like this.. "
  1122. [20:28] <~Bright> the fog thickens behidn the bar... a shape colescing out of it, its back to you. You can see its humanoid, wearign a alrge purple felt hat, and what seems to be a fur coat. Jewels sparkle on its thin fingers as it moves the bottles around
  1123. [20:28] *** Tox|Laptop has joined #TamlinHouse
  1124. [20:28] <choobakka> "Well. I like being able to get to the main room." Eugene shrugs. "Oh shit. Bob?"
  1125. [20:29] <SGTDan> Beck looks out over the patio railing, seeing if it is around the house
  1126. [20:29] <Ragazzo> "...something's happening in the bar though...."
  1127. [20:29] *** Roget has joined #TamlinHouse
  1128. [20:29] <Tom90deg> "Ok, to the bar then?"
  1129. [20:29] *** Bright is now known as NecroBob
  1130. [20:29] <FallenLegion> Spade squints and looks at the figure.
  1131. [20:29] <Tom90deg> "I'm the new guy, I don't know what's normal."
  1132. [20:30] * ~NecroBob , his cover blown, turns away, a bottle of something in his hands. A grinnign skull leers out from underneath the pimp hat.
  1133. [20:30] <Sequence> "Uh... To the bar we go, then."
  1134. [20:30] <~NecroBob> "Wellllll Hoooowdy do, boils and ghouls!
  1135. [20:30] <FallenLegion> " Who's that dude.. "
  1136. [20:30] <Tom90deg> Darius nods, and heads to the bar, and raises and eyebrow at seeing the skullpimp
  1137. [20:31] <choobakka> "Oh shit. Uh. Thanks for the hat?" Eugene fingers the brim. "Bob. He's a Necromancer that I kind of gave a body to."
  1138. [20:31] <SGTDan> Slowly opening the door to the Main Hall, his halogen lamps sweep it as he peers through.
  1139. [20:31] <Tom90deg> "Ah. I see..."
  1140. [20:31] <~NecroBob> The mian hall is thick with fog, can't even see your hand in front of your face.
  1141. [20:31] <Ragazzo> James heads to teh bar, keeping close to layla.
  1142. [20:31] * ~NecroBob takes a chug from his bottle, and smiles. "Ah, nuthin like a hair of the dog what ye bit, aye?"
  1143. [20:31] <Sequence> Layla leads the way to the bar.
  1144. [20:32] <Tom90deg> "May I ask if you had something to do with the fog? And also, where's Bernard?"
  1145. [20:32] <FallenLegion> Spade slowly starts walking to the bar, trying not to trip.
  1146. [20:32] <SGTDan> "Well now, the patio.....seems less affected..." Beck says to himself not moving from his spot, weary to move through the fog.
  1147. [20:32] <~NecroBob> "ah, the redhead takes off when I show up. He knows whats down." Bob gestures, and the fog curls around his fingers. "My little pet. Keeps me ... sane."
  1148. [20:33] <Tom90deg> Darius nods. "Nice to meet you then Bob."
  1149. [20:33] <choobakka> "The fog's... Alive?" Eugene wraps the towel closer around his face.
  1150. [20:34] <Sequence> Layla enters the bar. "Uh... what?"

  1153. [20:34] <SGTDan> Keeping the door open, the astronaut stands in the fog raising his weld torch in a threatening way. Around him fog swirls but hes not moving.

  1155. [20:34] <FallenLegion> " Wait, what skull? "
  1156. [20:35] * ~NecroBob smiles. "'Ave ye been enjoying m'hat, then?"
  1157. [20:35] <Sequence> "Uh. It's a very nice hat."
  1158. [20:35] <choobakka> Eugene sighs. "I gave Bob some illuminati repair droids in exchange for his hat, and he got a body somehow."
  1159. [20:35] <Tom90deg> "How can we help you Bob?" Darius gives him a friendly smile.
  1160. [20:35] <Ragazzo> "...hat?"
  1161. [20:35] <choobakka> "My hat, not his very, very nice one."
  1162. [20:35] <Sequence> "...I see."

  1169. [20:39] <~NecroBob> "Why, for th' war what's comin."

  1178. [20:41] <Sequence> "Christ..." Layla rubs her face.
  1179. [20:42] <~NecroBob> "Why, 'tis more then just them. Haven't y'seen all the factions about?" He begins pouring cupsfull of the loquid in his bottle, and settign them in front of the people at the bar. ...the cups smoke. "There's a shitload of factions vying for control. Y'want to make sure yer on the right side."
  1180. [20:42] <Sequence> "Why?"
  1181. [20:43] <choobakka> "Oh yeah. The illuminati, the freemasons, the reptilians and Greys, the foundation, etc.i knew about this a while ago"
  1182. [20:43] <Tom90deg> "I don't suppose there's room in this for a Switzerland?" Darius gives Bob a grin, but loses off on that trade. few can outgrin a skull.
  1183. [20:43] <FallenLegion> " Oh don't worry, if there's a war I don't plan on losing. "
  1184. [20:43] <choobakka> Eugene looks smug.
  1185. [20:43] <FallenLegion> Spade's smirking smugly, as well.
  1186. [20:43] <Sequence> Layla rolls her eyes at Eugene.
  1187. [20:43] <Ragazzo> James blinks.
  1188. [20:44] <Tom90deg> Darius eyes the smokefilled glass. "And thank you for the drink. May I ask what's in it?"
  1189. [20:44] <choobakka> Eugene stares at his drink warily.
  1190. [20:44] <FallenLegion> Spade grabs one. " He probably won't give you a straight answer.. "
  1191. [20:44] <Sequence> Layla picks up a drink and looks at it.
  1192. [20:45] * Ragazzo picks up his own, staring at it.
  1193. [20:45] <Ragazzo> James does.

  1198. [20:45] <~NecroBob> Rags: the drink is SMOKING. it's likely unhealthy
  1199. [20:45] <FallenLegion> Spade chuckles. " I told you so. "
  1200. [20:46] <Tom90deg> Dairus chuckles. "Like Scumble's made of apples. Mostly apples."
  1201. [20:46] <Sequence> Layla swirls the glass. "What's the rest of it?"
  1202. [20:46] <~NecroBob> "There's no room for playin the middle lad."
  1203. [20:46] <choobakka> Eugene sighs. "Probably had worse." He takes a swig, relying on his heavy tolerances to see him through.
  1204. [20:46] <Ragazzo> James casts layla and the others look. It says: Bad idea. Don't drink.
  1205. [20:47] <SGTDan> Getting worried of not hearing the others, Beck begins to move forwards. Hopefully his halogen lamps cut the fog enough for him to safely traverse the hall. He clears the baths and barracks before making his way to the bar. Shutting his lights off, he saddles up beside the door and peers in.
  1206. [20:47] <Sequence> Layla doesn't look at James. She's waiting for an answer.
  1207. [20:47] <~NecroBob> ...Eugene: To you, it tastes rather good. There's a smokey after taste that feels somehow familiar. Bob stares at you, and smiles. "Smart kid."
  1208. [20:47] <FallenLegion> " Bottoms up.. " Spade takes a drink.
  1209. [20:47] <choobakka> "Pretty good. Didn't taste anything suspicious..."
  1210. [20:48] <~NecroBob> Spade, defense check!
  1211. [20:48] <Tom90deg> Darius picks it up and gives it a whiff. "Can I ask if drinking this will end badly Bob?"

  1215. [20:48] <Sequence> "What is in the drink besides alcohol?" Layla asks again.
  1216. [20:48] <Tom90deg> "I do enjoy that, very much. But are you saying that will be the end of the drink,or the result if I don't drink?"
  1217. [20:48] <~NecroBob> Spade takes four health points of damage. The drink BURNS as it goes down, as if its trying to go straight from mouth out the bottom.

  1221. [20:49] <choobakka> "Hey, I feel fine. Maybe your hat protected me."
  1222. [20:50] <SGTDan> Clearing his throat as a large white suit cuts through the fog, "What does it...if you...have already passed...?"
  1223. [20:50] <Tom90deg> Dairus sets it back down. "Well, perhaps. I've know some decent necromances however."
  1224. [20:50] <Sequence> Layla glances at Beck.

  1226. [20:51] <choobakka> "..." Eugene desperately tries to induce vomiting.
  1227. [20:51] <Sequence> She shoves the drink away from her. "I'm not taking drinks from a strange man."
  1228. [20:51] <Tom90deg> "I do apologize Bob, but I'm already under contract."
  1229. [20:51] * Ragazzo sets his own beverage down.

  1235. [20:52] <Sequence> "Who's the servitude to, anyway?"
  1236. [20:52] <Tom90deg> Dairus nods, "And I do appericate the warning Bob."
  1237. [20:53] <SGTDan> Wheezing laughter as the white suit moves through the crowd to be in front of the Bo. Beneath the gold visor his eyes narrow, "Wait just a...second...there....I have a few questions..."
  1238. [20:53] <choobakka> Eugene gives up. "So... When I die... I'll be your slave or something?"
  1239. [20:53] <~NecroBob> "Whaddya mean when, boyo?"
  1240. [20:54] <FallenLegion> Spade sets his glass down, still coughing.
  1241. [20:54] <choobakka> "..." Eugene looks stunned. "Wh... Am... No. I call bullshit."

  1247. [20:57] <Tom90deg> "Take care Bob!" Darius gives him a wave. "Thanks for the warning."
  1248. [20:57] <~NecroBob> There is laughter as the fogs recedes
  1249. [20:57] <choobakka> "Goddammit! Get back here!" Eugene is furious. "Am I dead? Am I a goddamn immortal Atlantean with false memories?"

  1261. [20:58] <Tom90deg> Darius checks for a pulse.
  1262. [20:59] <Sequence> Layla rubs her eyes.
  1263. [21:00] <~NecroBob> He has one!
  1264. [21:01] <choobakka> "Well, that's a relief. I'm not dead yet. Probably."
  1265. [21:01] <Tom90deg> "I feel a pulse. So....I dunno."
  1266. [21:01] <SGTDan> Unsealing his visor Beck closes his eyes and sighs once more.
  1267. [21:01] <Sequence> "Okay, is everyone healthy and not dead? Except for Beck?"
  1268. [21:01] <FallenLegion> " No.. " Spade coughs.
  1269. [21:02] <JamesPenn> James mills around.
  1270. [21:02] <choobakka> "That was pretty tasteless." Eugene sighs. "I might be immortal, I guess."
  1271. [21:02] <Sequence> "What's wrong, new guy?"
  1272. [21:02] <FallenLegion> Spade glares at her.
  1273. [21:02] <Tom90deg> Darius looks to see if the glass is still on the bar
  1274. [21:03] <JamesPenn> James glares at spade from behind layla. Make one god damn comment, he mouths.
  1275. [21:03] <Sequence> She glares back. "I'm /asking/ so I can /help/."
  1276. [21:03] <FallenLegion> Spade points at his throat.
  1277. [21:04] <Sequence> "You drank it. What does it feel like?"
  1278. [21:04] <FallenLegion> Spade scowls.
  1279. [21:07] <Sequence> Layla sighs. "Look, I have no idea what was in that goddamn drink, and you and Eugene were the only ones that drank it."
  1280. [21:07] <Sequence> "I cannot help you unless I know what I am doing."
  1281. [21:08] <Tom90deg> "Can you run some tests on the other drinks?"
  1282. [21:08] <choobakka> "I feel fine. Didn't seem to have any effect. Nice and smoky."
  1283. [21:08] <Sequence> Layla shrugs, picking up one of the glasses. "I /might/ be able to, but I'm a doctor, not a chemist."
  1284. [21:09] <JamesPenn> "You could ask the orienta-the chinawoman."
  1285. [21:09] <JamesPenn> Slightly better.
  1286. [21:09] <JamesPenn> Just barely.
  1287. [21:09] <Sequence> She glances over at James, about to nod approvingly, but looks away.
  1288. [21:09] <JamesPenn> He's about to smile, when she looks away.
  1289. [21:09] <JamesPenn> He then looks crestfallen.
  1290. [21:10] <FallenLegion> Spade tries to laugh, and then clutches his throat.
  1291. [21:11] <Tom90deg> "She's a Chemist, I take it?"
  1292. [21:12] <Sequence> "Alchemist, from what I heard." Layla sighs. "Alright, come with me, new guy, I'll see if there's any physical damage to your throat that'll give me clues."

  1360. [21:35] <Ragazzo> "...you said to hold him."
  1361. [21:35] <Tom90deg> Darius drops his hand. "Sorry. Well, turns out that Bob, the necromancer gave us some potions, and a few of us drank them. And we just want to check it out and see what it is."

  1386. [21:39] <Sequence> Layla stares straight at Spade. "Open. Your. Mouth."
  1387. [21:39] <@Scantron> Lin follows.
  1388. [21:39] <@Scantron> She brings a few glass jars to carry samples.
  1389. [21:40] <Tom90deg> He then shows them the remainig 4 glasses. "Here they are."
  1390. [21:40] <~NecroBob> The liquid has evaporated from said glasses
  1391. [21:40] <Tom90deg> "Oh blast...Stupid magic..."
  1392. [21:40] <Tom90deg> "Hmm...There may be some residue..." Darius examines the glasses for anything.
  1393. [21:41] <@Scantron> "...you wasted my time." She huffs and turns away, heading out.
  1394. [21:41] <FallenLegion> Spade grumbles and opens his mouth
  1395. [21:41] <Sequence> Layla smiles at him. "Thank you." Then she sticks that tool thing in there and examines the shit out of his throat.
  1396. [21:41] <Tom90deg> "Wait, May I buy you a drink to apologize for waisting your time?"
  1397. [21:42] <@Scantron> Lin stops and turns around. "Fine."
  1398. [21:42] <Tom90deg> Darius nods. "Would you like anything in paticular?"
  1399. [21:43] <FallenLegion> Spade is glaring on the inside.
  1400. [21:43] <Sequence> NecroBob: Is there anything she sees in particular?
  1401. [21:43] <Tom90deg> "I was going to suggest Scumble."

  1415. [21:55] <Tom90deg> Dairus shurgs. "Believeing that none of our group will drink something fataly stupid is a bit optomistic don't you think?"

  1418. [21:56] <@Scantron> "A bit." Lin drinks the Scumble. "...not bad."

  1420. [21:56] <Tom90deg> "But in any case, I apologise for wasteing your time Miss...."

  1428. [21:58] <@Scantron> "Right. Who are you, anyways?"
  1429. [21:58] <FallenLegion> Spade punches Layla's shoulder.

  1434. [21:58] <Ragazzo> James is storming right the fuck over.
  1435. [21:58] <Ragazzo> He's ready to give a thumping.
  1436. [21:59] <FallenLegion> Spade shrugs.
  1437. [21:59] <Tom90deg> "Well, I'm from the Libary. Was almost captured by the Foundation, but luckly, the Serpent's Hand managed to rescue me. Been working with them ever since, saving people, pulling them out of their inprisonment."
  1438. [21:59] <Tom90deg> "As for why I'm here, well, I'm looking for someone."
  1439. [21:59] <Sequence> "The only reason I'm not punching you back is I don't want to treat more burns. Now get the fuck out of here."

  1446. [22:01] <Sequence> Layla turns to spot James storming forward and puts her hand out to stop him.

  1451. [22:02] <@Scantron> "...I stole some scrolls that I learned about alchemy from. Got hit by a curse. Woke up in here."
  1452. [22:02] <Tom90deg> Darius nods. "I see. I'm a bit unique in how I came here I suppose."
  1453. [22:03] <Sequence> "Patients do dumbass things. Half the time, that's why they're patients." Layla snaps at him.
  1454. [22:03] <@Scantron> "I guess."
  1455. [22:03] <Tom90deg> "Alchemy, eh? Heh, I heard about one back in the libary...Odd guy."
  1456. [22:04] <Tom90deg> "Was really into fire."
  1457. [22:04] <@Scantron> "Fire is useful. Where did he learn it?"
  1458. [22:04] <FallenLegion> Spade gets up and walks to the patio.
  1459. [22:04] <Tom90deg> Dairus shurgs. "Don't know, didn't really know him all that well. From the stories, i almost think he was self-taught, and much of that was trial and error."
  1460. [22:05] <Ragazzo> He shrinks a bit. Sadbear.jpeg. "...ok..." He smiled though. "...feeling ok?"
  1461. [22:05] <Sequence> She crosses her arms. "I'm feeling fine."
  1462. [22:06] <Ragazzo> He continued to smirk, relieved she was back to her snappy, open self. "...good." He chuckled a bit.
  1463. [22:06] <@Scantron> "How do you even... self-taught? You need a reference."
  1464. [22:07] <Tom90deg> Darius shurgs again. "I've no idea. Just the rumors. But that may explain one or two things."
  1465. [22:07] <Sequence> "I'm going to bed." Layla says abruptly, looking away from James.
  1466. [22:07] <@Scantron> "What things?"
  1467. [22:07] <FallenLegion> Spade paces around for a bit and then goes to the bar.
  1468. [22:08] <Tom90deg> "Heh, how he kept on blowing things up, almost lighting himself on fire, actually lighting himself on fire. Name was...Daren...Dave...Something like that. I didn't know him that well."
  1469. [22:09] <@Scantron> Lin shrugs. "If he comes here, tell me."
  1470. [22:09] <Ragazzo> James steps forward, and gently ber hugs layla from behind, lifting her for a moment. "Night." He sets her down, lightly, and wanders off.
  1471. [22:09] <Tom90deg> Darius nods. "Will do."
  1472. [22:10] <Sequence> Layla squeaks a little as she's lifted, going red. She looks over her shoulder at him, but... doesn't say anything to have him come back.
  1473. [22:10] <Sequence> Best not to get involved.
  1474. [22:11] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at Darius and the stranger.
  1475. [22:11] <Tom90deg> Darius nods at Space.
  1476. [22:11] <Ragazzo> James looks back at her, when she does. Smiles in a kind way, before carrying on.
  1477. [22:12] <Tom90deg> *spade
  1478. [22:12] <FallenLegion> While Lin isn't looking Spade makes an obscene motion to Darius.

  1488. [22:20] <Tom90deg> Darius follows, giving Spade a frendly nod.
  1489. [22:20] <@Dexanote> Tyke quietly wanders into the... i'll say Bar
  1490. [22:20] <@Scantron> Bar is where people are!
  1491. [22:21] <Tom90deg> Darius gives Tyke a wave.
  1492. [22:21] <FallenLegion> Spade glares at Tyke.
  1493. [22:21] <@Scantron> Lin nods to Tyke. "Hello."
  1494. [22:22] <@Dexanote> Tyke glares at Spade, as he heads to a table, climbs on top, and sets the thunderbolt in front of him. Soon he gets t work, yet again trying to scrape the rust from the bolt.
  1495. [22:23] <FallenLegion> Spade glares more.
  1496. [22:23] <SGTDan> Beck quietly wakes and pulls a card deck from his second arm pouch on his suit. Smiling beneath the gold visor he begins to play solitaire to himself, enjoying the scared geometry of chance in the game.
  1497. [22:25] <Tom90deg> "He's a quiet one. But if you want my advice, don't pick a fight with him." Dairus says with a slight grin.

  1507. [22:36] <Tom90deg> "Nice flame there."
  1508. [22:39] <FallenLegion> Spade makes a mocking fizzle sound as best he can.

  1510. [22:43] <@Dexanote> Sorry I was fiddling with something. Tyke eventually lets the flame die and sighs at the lack of progress on the bolt.
  1511. [22:44] <@Maddy> Trin wanders out into the patio, wipping a bottle of water.
  1512. [22:45] <FallenLegion> Spade chuckles at Tyke's lack of progress.
  1513. [22:45] <@Dexanote> "... You. Thug." He looks at Spade.

  1517. [22:45] <SGTDan> Beck looks up from his game of cards and smiles beneath his visor, hes sitting in the center of the patio. Reflected off his visor is the sky while laid out before him is a game of solitaire. He's currently holding a heart in his hand.
  1518. [22:46] <FallenLegion> Spade turns out his pockets, showing he doesn't have one.
  1519. [22:48] <Tom90deg> "The head guard took it Mr..." Darius dosn't know this person either!
  1520. [22:49] <@Maddy> "Evening, sir."
  1521. [22:50] <SGTDan> Flipping up the visor to reveal his smiling face, "Evening ma'am." The voice is happy, relieved and excited as he motions to a spot next to him.
  1522. [22:50] <@Dexanote> Tyke rolls his eyes and stands to walks off.
  1523. [22:50] <Tom90deg> Darius shurgs. He'll get the name later.
  1524. [22:51] <@Maddy> She politely sits. "Been up to anything exciting?"
  1525. [22:52] <FallenLegion> Spade stands up. "..Puddle."
  1526. [22:52] <SGTDan> "Not at all...coming to terms...with death....life...love..." His suit is missing any identification symbols
  1527. [22:53] <@Dexanote> Tyke pauses, briefly wondering why the Spade keeps calling him that. "What."
  1528. [22:54] <@Maddy> "Becoming more of the impossilbe astronaut, and less Major Beck?"
  1529. [22:54] <FallenLegion> Spade chuckles and leave for the patio.
  1530. [22:55] <SGTDan> "Who cares....who I am?....Major Kirk Beck....died a long....time ago....in space...in the cold embrace of....the stars...." He says sorrowfully
  1531. [22:56] <Tom90deg> Darius rolls his eyes. "One of these days he is gonna bite off more than he can chew."
  1532. [22:56] <@Scantron> "Should be fun to watch."
  1533. [22:56] <@Maddy> Trin just nods thoughtfully.
  1534. [22:56] <Tom90deg> "Indeed. I've seen it twice, and he still dosn't seem to learn."
  1535. [22:57] <Tom90deg> Darius grins. "And it keeps getting funnier."
  1536. [22:57] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at the pair on the patio.
  1537. [22:58] <SGTDan> "People like James....has a chance...at love...life again..." Beck says gathering his cards "Me? I'm a....lifeless...husk of a...once honorable...man...trapped in....a body that...refuses to pass....memories and reflexes....plastered on...to fool me..."

  1542. [23:01] <FallenLegion> Spade is standing behind the two of them on the patio.
  1543. [23:03] <Tom90deg> "So, what kind of things can you make with Alchemy? Standard Lead into gold?"
  1544. [23:03] <SGTDan> "You are...the only....person to....produce the faintest...of sparks in...this husk..." Moving there's a hiss as a seal is broken, his large right white glove falls to the ground. It reveals a blackened, skeletal hand. Flesh pulled taunt over the bones. "I simply....am Trinity....there is no...escape for me...no paradise....I just...want the final....rest..."
  1545. [23:05] <@Scantron> "Lead to gold works, but it's not as efficient as combining mercury and sulfur. I already did that. You can also make elixir of immortality, homunculi, liquid luck, other transmutations. I don't have enough materials." She huffs.
  1546. [23:05] <FallenLegion> Spade taps his foot.
  1547. [23:06] <@Maddy> Trin glances at him. "Can I help you?"
  1548. [23:06] <Tom90deg> "Hm...All I got is this..." Darius pulls out the spraypaint can of invisibility. "What kind of stuff do you need? Bernard can get just about anything."
  1549. [23:06] <Tom90deg> "And I could keep an eye out in the rooms. This place has the potential to have anything."
  1550. [23:07] <FallenLegion> Spade zips his lips and stops tapping his feet.
  1551. [23:08] <@Maddy> She mumbles "Jackass" and turns back to tha major.
  1552. [23:08] <SGTDan> Beck sighs and watches his hand shrink and waste away as it stands in the air, "Trinity....I simply....don't know..." He looks up into the sky "I want to...be home...."
  1553. [23:09] <@Scantron> "What's that?" She looks at the spraypaint can. "Spray paint?"
  1554. [23:09] <Tom90deg> "Invisible paint, in handy spray form."
  1555. [23:10] <Tom90deg> He pops the top and trais his finger over the nozzle, and holds it up, showing some smears of invisiblity on the tip of his finger. "Neat huh? Got it in the House."
  1556. [23:11] <Tom90deg> "But yah, between Bernard and the House, i'm sure people can dig up some ingredients."
  1557. [23:12] <@Scantron> Lin blinks. "Hm. I'd need to know what it's made of to know if I can use it." She folds her hands, her hammer on the table. "I'll keep an eye out. Nothing is free, though." She frowns.
  1558. [23:12] <Tom90deg> "Heh, oh, I'm not talking about that. I mean I'd put the word out to look for anything you can use for whatever reason."
  1559. [23:13] <Tom90deg> "I'd not be surprized the House has a fully stocked alchemal lab somewhere in it."

  1563. [23:14] <@Scantron> "And if anyone else finds things first, I'd have to get the things from them. And I can either steal them and risk getting locked up, or I can trade for them. And I have nothing to trade that I don't need."
  1564. [23:14] <SGTDan> As Trinity leaves, Beck starts to put the glove back on, as soon as the seal is made. He feels his hand grow back and become functional. "Yes Spade?"
  1565. [23:15] <FallenLegion> Spade notices the lack of identification and frowns.
  1566. [23:15] <SGTDan> "Come sit...let us parlay..."
  1567. [23:16] <Tom90deg> "I'm not saying I'd trade, say it's on account if you will. I'll keep an eye out and give it to you, and maybe later if I could use some alchemy skills, you can help me out."
  1568. [23:16] <FallenLegion> Spade sits
  1569. [23:17] <@Scantron> "Maybe."
  1570. [23:17] <SGTDan> "Or you...could be rude...." Beck shrugs
  1571. [23:18] <Tom90deg> "So if you want to give me an idea of what to look for, I'll spread the word."

  1580. [23:22] <SGTDan> "Spit it out...son...?"
  1581. [23:22] <FallenLegion> Spade points at his throat.
  1582. [23:23] <@Scantron> "Do you know where I can get mandrake root? I could use a homunculus."
  1583. [23:23] <Tom90deg> "You could ask Bernard. It may cost something, but he'll take just about anything as payment, from money to a good story."
  1584. [23:24] <Tom90deg> "He can get anything apparently, the only question is cost."
  1585. [23:24] <@Scantron> "Hm. I thought it was just food... I'll ask tomorrow. I need time to make a setup."
  1586. [23:24] <Tom90deg> "Well, I'd ask before you set anything up. I'd hate to steer you wrong again."
  1587. [23:25] <Tom90deg> "And to make sure the cost isn't too high."
  1588. [23:25] <@Scantron> "Right."
  1589. [23:25] <SGTDan> "Ah, I see..." Beck reaches in his left arm pocket and flips open his notebook. Handing it to Spade he flips to the other side of a page.

  1607. [23:37] <~Bright> Dans field flares to life for aproximately a second, then goes back down.
  1608. [23:39] <FallenLegion> Spade glares at Beck. " Why'd you do that "
  1609. [23:39] <SGTDan> As the cads fall to the floor and scatter to and for, Beck seems surprised and looks over at Spade, "Odd....but I have.....no actual control....over it, you....okay?"
  1610. [23:40] <SGTDan> (*cards, *fro)
  1611. [23:41] <FallenLegion> " It's considered rude to make your guest levitate during conversation, regardless of time. "
  1612. [23:42] <SGTDan> Wheezing laughter as Beck starts gather the cards and reinsert them in a box, "I apologize....if I controlled...it...it would be....different..." Sighing he replaces the cards in his pocket "Where were....we...?"
  1613. [23:43] <FallenLegion> " If you controlled it, it would've probably lasted longer. " He flips the page. " Don't linger on memories, this place will only use those against you. "
  1614. [23:45] <SGTDan> "Memories....memories are all...I have...." He says looking upwards at the sky "I just....I guess...there's two things....I wish for....before I make....peace...."
  1615. [23:46] <FallenLegion> " You aren't left with your memories. There is literally a house /full/ of people that rely on you and that need you here. "
  1616. [23:49] <SGTDan> "You would....live without me...." Beck says with a smirk "That's why....I am...looking for the...final rest...."
  1617. [23:49] <FallenLegion> " If you hadn't slowed the clown down, do you think she'd have lived without you? "
  1618. [23:50] <SGTDan> "Someone else...will fill my...place...Alphas change hands...all the...time..."
  1619. [23:51] <FallenLegion> " But do you really think just /anyone/ would've tried to save her? I wouldn't have, I'd be busy being inside of a bitchin' spacesuit."
  1620. [23:54] <SGTDan> "This suit....its nothing....well it appears...to be key to...living...." Chuckling Beck shakes his head "I'm a gentlemen....I have a....thing for....dames in....distress...."
  1621. [23:55] <FallenLegion> " So you'd trying to get with the clown, eh? "
  1622. [23:56] <SGTDan> "No she....isn't....man...you are....definitely trying...to make it..out the beef jerky....is trying to....get laid?" Raised eyebrow
  1623. [23:56] <FallenLegion> " Well you know what they say about packaged meat."
  1624. [23:56] <FallenLegion> Spade laughs, although no sound is made.
  1625. [23:57] <SGTDan> "Do you...understand the....science behind....being a...frozen mummy?" Beck asks
  1626. [23:58] <FallenLegion> " Do you understand the science of dick jokes? "
  1627. [23:59] <SGTDan> Nodding reluctantly he stares ahead at the railing.
  1628. [00:01] <FallenLegion> " Well you should stop living in the past an focus on making the mo- Pay attention!" Spade whacks him with the notepad.
  1629. [00:01] <SGTDan> The notepad smacks him in the face, Beck stares at him, "Listening...."
  1630. [00:03] <FallenLegion> Spade stops writing and looks at a sketch at the edge of the page.
  1631. [00:03] <SGTDan> "Thats my art...."
  1632. [00:04] <FallenLegion> Spade looks at him suspiciously at the word 'art' .
  1633. [00:04] <SGTDan> "I used to...sketch to..pass..time up...on the station..."
  1634. [00:05] <FallenLegion> Spade starts writing on one of the calculations.
  1635. [00:06] <SGTDan> "What are...you doing...." Beck asks
  1636. [00:08] <FallenLegion> Spade corrects some mistakes, but mostly doodles.
  1637. [00:08] <SGTDan> "Are you going....to continue?" Watching him "or ruin my...work?"
  1638. [00:09] <FallenLegion> " Some of your work is flawed. "
  1639. [00:10] <SGTDan> "I have a...degree in...engineering...watch were...you tread son..." Beck says "I worked on....more complex systems....more /valuable/ systems...then you...will ever...see in...your life...."
  1640. [00:12] <FallenLegion> " Mostly because what I will see in my prison is worth no value to the outside world. "
  1641. [00:13] <SGTDan> "Uh huh...so what were...saying and please....don't touch my.....sketches....they are precious...." Beck says
  1642. [00:13] *** Tyber has joined #TamlinHouse
  1643. [00:15] <FallenLegion> " I won't touch your smut, don't worry."
  1644. [00:16] <SGTDan> "Its not smut.....its art....to remind that...beauty still...exists....in both life....and man made...." He says "What do...you think....of Trinity?"
  1645. [00:16] <FallenLegion> " I think she hates me, and that's the only time I have met her."
  1646. [00:18] <SGTDan> "Fair enough....you know...shes a lot....like my wife...." The astronaut says absently
  1647. [00:18] <FallenLegion> " I wouldn't know that."
  1648. [00:20] <SGTDan> "She was a....fighter pilot....like me....my wingwomen for...the longest time....before we....hit it off...." A smile works his way into his face "Fiesty, full of life.....and hell of a fighter....."
  1649. [00:20] <FallenLegion> " I am none of some of these." He nods.
  1650. [00:22] <SGTDan> "Looked a hell...a lot like...her too, my...wife...almost twins....I wish...I wish...she knew it...was okay to....move on...." Letting out a sigh "She...is stubborn...like me...holds on...even with no...hope....I've let....go...she needs to know...I want her...to live...."
  1651. [00:23] *** Pemander has quit IRC: Quit: (Link: http://www.mibbit.com)http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client
  1652. [00:24] <FallenLegion> " Well then, use that hope to stay you"
  1653. [00:25] <SGTDan> "I am me....I just ain't...Kirk...anymore...." Becks says "Once I tell...her....I hope I....get Trinity....nah....stop being silly Kirk....once I'm....done...the final rest comes...."
  1654. [00:26] <FallenLegion> " If you keep talking like that I swear you and the clown will be one in the same."
  1655. [00:27] <SGTDan> "I will never...raise a hand...to a person....without a reason..."
  1656. [00:27] <FallenLegion> " Not even for spur of the moment highfives? "
  1657. [00:28] <SGTDan> Another glare from sunken eyesockets
  1658. [00:29] <FallenLegion> " I bet you'd have some killer dance moves.."
  1659. [00:30] <SGTDan> More of a glare, "Who would...want to...dance with...this...who wants to..."
  1660. [00:31] <FallenLegion> " I don't know, the clown seems like a party girl, and you sure have her under your will."
  1661. [00:32] <SGTDan> "She probably....thinks I'm out to kill...her...." Beck says and looks down at the book "Anything else or can I have my book back?"
  1662. [00:32] <FallenLegion> " Not much of a people person. " Spade tosses the book at him and walks to the bar.
  1663. [00:33] <Tom90deg> Darius is still there, and gives him a slight nod.
  1664. [00:33] <SGTDan> "Nope but...thank you...for your time..."
  1665. [00:34] *** Bright is now known as KevinBlayn
  1666. [00:34] * ~KevinBlayn wanders into the bar, his tattoos crawling across his bare skin.
  1667. [00:35] <@Scantron> Lin is also there. She looks at Kevin again and holds onto her hammer.
  1668. [00:35] <Tom90deg> DArius eyes the new guy and gives him a wave. "Hello."
  1669. [00:36] <FallenLegion> Spade makes a mock painting motion towards Kevin.
  1670. [00:36] * ~KevinBlayn nods to Darius. "Hiya."
  1671. [00:36] <SGTDan> Beck gets up and walks to the barracks, tearing out the letter in the last page. Wrapping his American flag patch and name patch while finding Trinity's sleeping form. Gingerly he places it in her hand before closing it. On the piece of paper is a letter to his family, on the back "Keep this safe and close to you Trin.".
  1672. [00:36] <Tom90deg> "Don't believe we've met." He stands and holds outhis hand. "Darius Moore."
  1673. [00:37] * ~KevinBlayn shakes said hand, a rd and black snake movign across the skin of his finger. "Kevin."
  1674. [00:37] <Tom90deg> "Nice to meet you Kevin."
  1675. [00:37] <~KevinBlayn> "What're you doing here?"
  1676. [00:38] <Tom90deg> "Having a drink." Darius grins. "Or do you mean more of a general 'Here'?"
  1677. [00:39] <SGTDan> Perching himself on Trin's footlocker, Beck flips his visor done. After fiddling with a few dials on his chest he goes still.
  1678. [00:40] <~KevinBlayn> "More general."
  1679. [00:40] <Tom90deg> "I'm looking for someone."
  1680. [00:42] <Tom90deg> "Not sure who, but apparently, she'll know me."
  1681. [00:43] <~KevinBlayn> "...Ooookay."
  1682. [00:43] <Tom90deg> Darius laughs. "I know it's a bit vauge. But she's important. And she's somewhere in the House. The Hand asked for volenteers, and I did."
  1683. [00:44] <~KevinBlayn> "...Serpents hand?" The snakes curls aroudn Kevins palm
  1684. [00:44] <~KevinBlayn> MikeB i s sitting on a stool rod in hand.
  1685. [00:44] <@Scantron> Lin watches the two, keeping an eye on Kevin.
  1686. [00:45] <SGTDan> Beck springs to life, remembering one last thing he must do. Exiting the barracks for the main hall, Beck begins to look for that older gentlemen in a security uniform. After entering the bar and seeing him the astronaut flips up his visor. Walking towards him, "Sir, would you...mind me...having a chat...with you?
  1687. [00:46] <FallenLegion> Spade is sitting at the bat, tapping on the cabinet.
  1688. [00:46] <Tom90deg> Darius nods. "Yup. The good ol Libary."
  1689. [00:46] <~KevinBlayn> MikeB waves a hand at beck. "Free Country
  1690. [00:46] * ~KevinBlayn frowns at that. "Well. Better then the Foundation."
  1691. [00:47] <Tom90deg> "Heh, I suppose so."
  1692. [00:47] *** Ragazzo has joined #TamlinHouse
  1693. [00:47] <SGTDan> "I would like the....clowns weapons...and equipment back....its my fault...she got into trouble." Beck says honestly "I ask...that you understand...and not blame...it on her..."
  1694. [00:48] <Tom90deg> "And I suppose the mission is a bit...difficult, but it needs to be done. And worst case senario, The libary gets some intel. Our information on the House is a bit scant."
  1695. [00:48] <Tom90deg> "How about you Kevin? Why're you here?"
  1696. [00:49] <~KevinBlayn> MikeB frowns. "She'll get them back when I'm ready to give 'em back."
  1697. [00:49] * ~KevinBlayn sighs. "Foundation raided my Insurgency Cell. Took an emergency escape route."
  1698. [00:49] <FallenLegion> Spade gestures for his shank.
  1699. [00:50] <@Scantron> Lin very quietly watches this.
  1700. [00:50] <Tom90deg> "Ahh, I see."
  1701. [00:50] <SGTDan> Unclipping his welding torch, offering it to the man "Here, take this....as my punishment....I ordered her....its only...right I get...punished for...it..."
  1702. [00:50] <Tom90deg> "Never had much interaction with the CI myself, just the Foundation, the GOC and MC&D."
  1703. [00:51] <~KevinBlayn> MikeB stares at the spaceman...and shrugs, taking the torch.
  1704. [00:51] * ~KevinBlayn glares. "Man, fuck the Foundation."
  1705. [00:52] <SGTDan> "Thank you....for being reasonable...sir, please...where may I...retrieve her gear...?"
  1706. [00:53] <Tom90deg> "Heh, they were not the best. The most you could say about them was at least they didn't kill their people, and didn't try to sell them."
  1707. [00:53] <~KevinBlayn> Mike shakes his head. "I'll give it back to her when I think shes ready for it."
  1708. [00:54] * ~KevinBlayn rubs his temple, little clockwork gears tattoed there turning. "But they treat people like animals. The testing... i still have scars."
  1709. [00:54] <FallenLegion> Spade rolls his eyes at Kevin.
  1710. [00:55] <Tom90deg> Darius nods. "I was...lucky. I got rescued by the Hand, the Foundation almost captured me, but they got me out in time."
  1711. [00:55] <SGTDan> "Sir you....are being unreasonable....I control her....she only fights...if I give her permission now..." Beck says folding his arms across his chest "If you punish her....punish me and leave...her outof it..."
  1712. [00:55] <Tom90deg> "But I've seen some of the results..."
  1713. [00:56] <~KevinBlayn> "The insurgency rescued me...after." He sighs
  1714. [00:56] <~KevinBlayn> MikeB Raises an eyebrow. "I've seen her fight people for no reason. She'll get her stuff back when I'm ready."
  1715. [00:57] <FallenLegion> Spike looks at Beck trying to reason with Mike.
  1716. [00:57] <Tom90deg> "I'm sorry to hear that Kevin."

  1721. [00:59] <SGTDan> Coughing he shakes his head "That was before...me....sir...I now have....her under control....she has to get permission...before she fights...anymore..." Tapping his foot "I ain't....budging my...good sir....till you give me her....stuff and agree to...punish me...not her...."
  1722. [01:01] <Ragazzo> Hop sits in the bar, scribbling in his notebook.
  1723. [01:01] * ~KevinBlayn just shakes his head, waving it off. "Whatever. Hey, you want a ttatoo?
  1724. [01:02] <Tom90deg> "A tattoo? No, I'm alright." Darius laughs. "I thought about it occasionaly, but I never can think of a design I like enough to have forever."
  1725. [01:02] <~KevinBlayn> MikeB smiles at Beck, and gets off his stool, heading back tot he dungeons. "Wait all you like son. Ain't gonna change my mind."
  1726. [01:02] <Tom90deg> "Thank you for the offer though."
  1727. [01:02] * ~KevinBlayn chuckles. "S'why i like mine, i can change them."
  1728. [01:03] <FallenLegion> Spade sits down by Darius and Canvasman.
  1729. [01:05] <SGTDan> "Stubborn....so am I" Beck says with a very unappeased tone following "Surely there...is some kind...of deal....we can reach here?"
  1730. [01:05] <~KevinBlayn> MikeB shakes his head, vanishing into the Dungeons proper.
  1731. [01:05] *** Scantron has quit IRC: Ping timeout
  1732. [01:06] <Tom90deg> "Heh, I can see how that would be very useful. If i ever change my mind, You'll be the first one I ask about it."
  1733. [01:07] <SGTDan> "Goddamn bastard....can shove his...petty rod right up....his ass..." Swearing under his breath "Never met....a more insufferable man...then when I was.....dealing with....the brass in the...Air Force...."
  1734. [01:07] <FallenLegion> Spade looks back and forth between Canvasman and Darius.
  1735. [01:07] * ~KevinBlayn calls after Beck "He's a Foundation Agent! 'Course he's a prick!"
  1736. [01:08] <Tom90deg> Darius smirks.
  1737. [01:08] <SGTDan> Beck moves past everyone and disappears, presumably to his post at the foot of Trinity's bed.
