  48. <Kioku> Lights, music, food. All spread before you as you walk into the cafeteria. Groups of other students already inside in various attire. Some formally dressed, some in sleepwear, and some in clothes they were likely wearing all day. 1 or 2 teachers are scattered around watching the party to make sure that it's all fine. On the buffet table is some screaming bagels? There's cake, ice cream, punch, some crackers with various additions for
  49. <Kioku> them, someone brought Twinkies!, there's a couple stacks of pizza with various toppings. On the DJ stand is a girl with……Bright Green hair and eyes that are completely green. There seems to be a voting booth up for Best Dressed. The kitchen is blocked by 4 guards. There seems to be some dance battle going on in the back. The floor of the café has been changed to look like a dance floor. The view outside is beautiful.
  50. <Kioku> Some students are out there dancing or sitting under the night sky watching the stars and the moon.
  51. <Kioku> (Courtesy of Rose)
  52. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stands at the edge of the dancefloor, waiting on something to push her over the ledge. She has had the chance to find one of her most cherished outfits. The dress is exquisite, hand tailored by her Mother’s trusted friend back home for her to wear at the last eid al-fitr. It is tightly cut dress with an a-line skirt and high waist, with long sleeves and a scooped neckline.
  53. <FullMetalBitch> The designs on the dress are striking red on a black background and mimic the traditional Jordanian festival wear. Elaborate gold stitching wraps around it and tells a wonderful story through it’s curves and flowering olive branches all along her bodice.
  54. <FullMetalBitch> On her head she wears a matching red scarf. A golden olive branch made of thread, is stitched onto her headscarf like a crown. Black tights encase her legs. One of the many concessions her Parents made to her, the red four inch stiletto heels, give her frame tone and figure. A few small pieces of gold jewelry adorn her, accompanied by a special silver necklace around her neck. Her
  55. <FullMetalBitch> makeup is extravagant, thick winged eyeliner and gold flaked fake eyelashes, as well as a deep crimson lipstick accent the outfit and pull out the features of her face.
  56. <FullMetalBitch> Hanging from her hand by his paw is Andrea. The fuzzy little guy for once hangs limp and almost lifeless. A strange thing for a stuffed animal like him. Although Lilith has taken the opportunity to put a small black vest and red tie onto him. She glances from the dancefloor to look towards the entrance to the gathering, expecting someone. Or at least hoping. It’s late and she’s
  57. <FullMetalBitch> already getting tired, maybe she showed up too early. Can’t stop a girl from dreaming, though.
  58. <SavanahHolland> Wendy walks through the entrence, nervously look around for her date(s) her usual pigtails let down, her dark raven black hair down a little beyond her shoulders, the ends curled and bouncy looking. She wears a blue dress, the end is flowing, traveling down to her ankles. The color chillingly similar to her greyish blue eyes, paired with her pale complexion all the colors gorgeously contrasting. On her shoulders she ad
  59. <SavanahHolland> dorns Lucette's christmas gift an expertly crocheted cape of sorts, colored a deep dark grey. Wendy face is paired with a small blush, the apples of her cheeks colored a soft pink and her eyes with sharp dark black makeup. She holds two smaller things to her sides, you cannot tell what it is from the angle.
  60. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith smiles brightly as she catches sight of the flame of her heart. She spins and her dress flourishes with the motion as she walks towards the dull blue eyed girl. It takes a while to manuever past the lingering crowd until she steps next to her. Her heels clicking on the floor and announcing her presence before her voice. "Wendy," she says in an almost purr, "you look divine."
  61. <Rose27> A slow song comes on
  62. <Uracilo> Lucette enters the cafeteria practically hiding behind Wendy, her shoes having only a little heel, but still more than she's used to. Her dress is a continuation on the one she wore for the meteor shower, modified even further to remove most of the men's suit stylings, but adding a dark waiscoat and a ruffled white tie. The long skirt from its previous incarnation is shortened, but black strips of fabric spiral from her hips down
  63. <Uracilo> to her knees and some extra, her dark stockings seemingly blooming out of the combination. Her face is flushed with more embarrassment than make-up.
  64. <SavanahHolland> Wendy lets her cheeks become brighter, the pink florishing to a crimson, She looks to her hands then picking one of the bundles she holds, handing it to Lilith. it appears to be a pure white Lilly corsage, then turning slightly for Lilith to see Lucette but still handing the girl the corsage "Here.."
  65. <Uracilo> Lucette sports Wendy's white hyacinth corsage, as well.
  66. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks over at the small shadow master hiding behind Wendy. Only just now catching site of her she almost melts from her adorable outfit. "I am still stunned by your fashion Lucette, it is enough to make my heart flutter." She turns back to Wendy and motions with the corsage, "this is such a kind gesture. Will you put it on me?"
  67. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods, her eyes becomming soft, she then pins the corsage to Lilth, around the side of the chest, where her heart is "I hope you like it.." she seems to blush much harder at the gesture.
  68. <Uracilo> Lucette only lets out a squeak at both the compliment and being spotted. She presses herself a little closer to Wendy's back, only managing to stand up straight using her as support.
  69. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith nods her head, brushing a hand against the flower. "I do. It is lovely." She turns to look over at the little girl in black and reaches over to offer her hand. "It has been so long since I have seen you, and you show up looking like a vision of beauty. Thank you."
  70. <Uracilo> Lucette eyes the hand for almost a full second, trying to push down her insecurities. She takes it with her own, taking a few steps to move out of Wendy's shadow, and a deep breath. To her credit, she only wobbles slightly.
  71. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks around, hoping to spot a certain friend of hers. Though she is still enraptured in Lilith and Lucettes presense. She smiles slightly, her eyes still traveling elsewhere.
  72. <Uracilo> She looks at Lilith, any compliment she could give dying in her throat. She only blushes brighter.
  73. <Kioku> From behind a group near the center of the room, Akemi sways through the crowd like a wave, half-unbound by the laws of physics yet her presence seeming almost like gravity to the eye. She wears an elegant white yukata (since there wasn't time to make more) covered in purple flowers that she'd made only that afternoon, but looks as though she'd brought it from home. Her hair is held back by a clip that matches her eyes, but left to
  74. <Kioku> fall freely onto her back beyond that.
  75. <SavanahHolland> Wendy tries to look over Lilith, smiling seeing Akemi, she gives the girl a wave "Akemi!" She smiles brightly
  76. <Rose27> The slow song ends and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=astISOttCQ0 comes on
  77. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith pulls Lucette into a quick embrace just to hold her for a second, before stepping back to examine her some more. Her eyes dart off as she watches Wendy call someone over.
  78. <Kioku> Akemi turns at hearing her name and gives a dazzling smile before starting toward the group.
  79. <SavanahHolland> Wendy beams at Akemi walking over, looking up to her with a even brighter smile at seeing Akemi in a pretty yukata. She stares for a second, then ushering her into the rest of the circle of her friends.
  80. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith gives a small wave to the girl after giving her outfit a once over. "Good evening Miss Akemi."
  81. <Uracilo> Lucette seems a little embarrassed when sharing the hug with Lilith, but it's at the mention of Akemi's name that she stiffens, a guilty feeling welling up in her stomach. She cuddled this girl without a thought, what is wrong with herself?
  82. <Rose27> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcDy8HEg1QY
  83. <Rose27> *new song
  84. <SavanahHolland> Wendy gives Akemi a quick hug to greet her then turning her attention to her dates, but keeping Akemi alongside.
  85. <Rose27> Students start dancing the cotton eye joe
  86. <Kioku> Akemi returns the hug. "Hi, Lilith! Lucette! Wendy!"
  87. <Uracilo> "H-hello, A-Akemi," she stutters, her arms crossed, hugging herself.
  88. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith keeps a hold of Lucette's hand, her high heels giving her some size on the little shadow master.
  89. <SavanahHolland> Wendy grins "Do you make your dess yourself?" she giggles "I was going to ask what the noise was comming from your room but I didn't want to intrude."
  90. <Uracilo> Lucette pulls slightly at Lilith's hold on her hand, but gives up with a sigh, meeting her eyes in askance.
  91. <Kioku> Akemi ducks a little and giggles, nodding. "Mm, I only had about three hours, so it's not what I'd hope for this sort of thing."
  92. <SavanahHolland> Wendy puffs her cheeks "You look pretty in it anyways!"
  93. <Rose27> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A song comes on
  94. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith is content to listen to the two talk over the din of the horrific western music. Standing close to Lucette and keeping a grip on her hand. "It suits you well."
  95. <Rose27> song comes on
  96. <Uracilo> Lucette remings herself that not everyone has an infinite supply of shadow servants to drawn on, and that therefore three hours of work won't make a dress for most people.
  97. <Uracilo> reminds*
  98. <Rose27> The dancers break up
  99. <Rose27> The green haired DJ looks confused as she changes the song
  100. <SolongStarbird> https://youtu.be/MwSkC85TDgY next song
  101. <Kioku> "Thanks," Akemi replies to both Wendy and Lilith, scooting closer into the circle. She looks torn between staying near the group and going off to dance.
  102. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Lilith and Akemi, not sure exactly herself who she's asking "Should we dance?"
  103. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances to the girl she's holding by the hand and quickly answers "take Akemi. I will take Lucette."
  104. <FullMetalBitch> Miss Akemi*
  105. <Uracilo> Lucette almost cries out of happiness when she's seemingly ignored, her smile going out like a light when Lilith mentions her.
  106. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods, not disappointed, unsure what to feel about it, though letting it be pushed to the back of her mind "Akemi, do you want to dance?" she slightly blushes.
  107. <Kioku> Akemi blinks at Lilith a couple of times, then squeezes Wendy's hand. "I would like to~" she replies, turning flirtatious eyes on her and pulling her toward the floor.
  108. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith watches the two of them go with a bit of remiss in her eyes. As they slide into the crowd she turns to Lucette and takes a step towards the wall, where their flowers have a place. She tugs at her hand and looks at her with a barely hidden smile, "come on."
  109. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes yet again, her cheeks still a bright soft pink. She follows Akemi's hand, not exactly knowing how to dance besides her short time with Rose and Twelve.
  110. <Uracilo> "L-Lilith, I-I'm not... so many p-people, I...!" she mumbles almost inaudible, following her anyways, distracted.
  111. <FullMetalBitch> "Let it be just us," Lilith says as they settle next to a wall by some pushes aside tables and chairs. She turns the girl and slides her free hand around her waistcoat and pulls her close to her. She starts to move them slowly and carefully in an easy basic dance move.
  112. <Kioku> Akemi holds Wendy closely, thinking for a moment, then giggling and starting to dance. Much like a whirlwind, she sweeps Wendy up in the movements.
  113. <SolongStarbird> https://youtu.be/r6K56tX05gE next song
  114. <Uracilo> Lucette takes a deep breath and follows, clearly having more trouble with the shoes than with the dance.
  115. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles up to Akemi, being lead and swept up by Akemi's dance. She tries to move along with Akemi, just barely able to keep with Akemi. She smiles brighter, Lilith now in the back of her mind though going to pop up and haunt her later, "Did you get to dance with anyone else before me?"
  116. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith takes the lead in the dance and tries to guide Lucette along to the beat. "Should I slow down?" She asks her softly as she notices a little bit of trouble in the movements of the dance.
  117. <Kioku> "Not yet!" Akemi replies to Wendy. "You're my first dance today~"
  118. <Uracilo> "N-no, I-I can m-manage," she mumbles, taking a deep breath and trying to follow Lilith more closely. She seems to be somewhat experienced, or at least able to hide her mistakes.
  119. <FullMetalBitch> "Take them off," Lilith says to her just loud enough to be heard over the music. "Dance in your stockings."
  120. * Endphone (Mibbit@synIRC-48C8BE9D.abhsia.telus.net) has joined
  121. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks down, blushing, yet keeping up with Akemi's movements "O-ok.." She blushes brighter, hoping Akemi comes up with something to talk about.
  122. <Uracilo> "Th-they'll get dirty..." she whispers, wondering if Lilith is serious.
  123. <Endphone> FonyX walks over to the bowl and gets a glass of punch.
  124. <Kioku> Akemi shows no signs of slowing down, and may be in fact speeding up, helping Wendy through the movements subtly so she looks experienced to the outside eye. "Thank you for letting me know about this, it's fun so far! More so since you're here~"
  125. <Endphone> "Hey girls. Am I intruding?" He walks over to the group
  126. <FullMetalBitch> "I will wash them," Lilith says to her with a giggle. She slows the two to a stop and frees the girl just enough to allow her to get to her shoes.
  127. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stumbles slightly, though somehow managing to not look like a fumbling fool. Her blush somehow become brighter, as if Akemi's presense alone was making her cheeks red "Really? I would think it's funner with you here.."
  128. <Uracilo> Lucette bites her lip, leaning on Lilith as she hooks a finger and removes her shoes easily, looking for an empty chair to place them. The floor is cold, but she quickly adapts.
  129. <Endphone> (Recon FonyX)
  130. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith watches her take off the shoes and gives her time to set them aside. Before she pulls close to her again and starts to lead a little more quickly than before.
  131. <Kioku> Akemi nods and giggles. "Really! Everything is so much better with friends. Especially such nice friends as you~"
  132. <Uracilo> Lucette follows much more easily after a few seconds, blushing from the contrast between the warm Lilith and the cold floor.
  133. <SavanahHolland> Wendy pulls Akemi farther into the dance, at this point trying to lead. With Akemi's words she blushes yet again, becomming a little limp at the warm feelings in her cheeks yet keeping up and trying to lead. She lets out a few breaths from the dance.
  134. <FullMetalBitch> "I have a feeling," Lilith says to her as she keeps her body close to the girl. Her high heels gliding around the floor and softly clicking on it but not stepping on the girl's stockinged feet. "You know how to waltz."
  135. <Kioku> "Are you sure your girlfriend won't be annoyed by this, my dancing with you? Even if she were the one to suggest it?"
  136. <SavanahHolland> Wendy shakes her head, looking down "She probably doesn't care.." Then focusing back on dancing with Akemi "It's fine though, I like dancing with you."
  137. <Uracilo> "I-I might... I've never done it with s-someone else before..." she says, remembering how grateful she had been that her shadows were weightless as she clumsily learned to dance "on her own".
  138. <Kioku> A look of concern flashes across Akemi's face, and she slows them down to lift Wendy's chin. "What do you mean, she probably doesn't care?"
  139. <SavanahHolland> Wendy lets her chin be lifted, looking to Akemi's face "She has Lucette." she says quite bluntly, though her voice does waver with distress.
  140. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith gives some breath between the two and takes up a more classical pose. She begins to lead Lucette in a waltz, the Academy thought learning such things would make her a more proper lady. She starts to hum a little to the beat of the dance between the two, her eyes watching the little mistress of shadows carefully.
  141. <Uracilo> Lucette looks down at her feet, a little worried, bu quickly corrects her mistakes, her small weight not really able to hurt Lilith anyways. Once she feels she's adequate she takes a more proper position and gazes into Lilith's eyes, biting her lip and looking for approval.
  142. <Kioku> Akemi blinks in confusion. "She has... do you mean she has you both, or only...?" She pulls Wendy closer and starts leading her off the floor, since the song is ending anyway. "Please, help me understand."
  143. <FullMetalBitch> "This is nice," Lilith says to her as she runs her hand along the girl's side playfully as they glide around. "I am glad to have this moment with you, even if we are surrounded by half of the school. It gives me butterflies to see you dressed as you are and held so close to me."
  144. <SavanahHolland> Wendy is lead along, looking down, trying to not look at Akemi "She has both of us.. I can't complain, Lucette needs someone like Lilith, even if I end up not mattering."
  145. <Kioku> Akemi shakes her head. "Wendy, you matter! Of course you matter, why would you think that you didn't? She must be able to see that!"
  146. <Uracilo> "I-I've missed you Lilith... I've..." she blushes brightly, her smile not wavering in the slightest. "I have dreamed of you and..." She takes a deep breath, and mutters a quick mantra. "And this is better, than most of those." She manages to speak clearly from a mumble, her eyes moving downwards, more from embarrassment keeping her from meeting Lilith's eyes than any attempt at looking at Lilith's body.
  147. <SavanahHolland> "She's left for Lucette so many times, so I'm used to it." She says quietly, leaning on Akemi's side.
  148. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith slows the dance to a stop and pulls the girl close to her in an embrace as she watches her eyes move down. "I cherish your poetry of words, Lucette." She brushes a hand along the girl's back as they stand there next to the wall.
  149. <Kioku> "She's probably just waiting for the next dance or something, to ask you!" \Right?\ Akemi holds Wendy close, moving slowly toward the wall where Lilith and Lucette stand. \We'll find out. Everyone can be happy! There's a way!\
  150. <Uracilo> Lucette leans into the embrace, resting for a second against Lilith's bosom, trying to get back her spent breath. Without movement, har feet grow cold, and she curls one leg against the other, one foot over the other, shivering slightly.
  151. <SavanahHolland> Wendy closes her eyes, squeezing them shut even. "I don't think so.." she admits, just trying to keep Lilith away from her mind at this point, trying to enjoy her time with Akemi at the dance.
  152. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith finishes the embrace and slips away from her. "I am going to go find Wendy, okay?" She smiles at the girl before sliding away from her to go find Wendy.
  153. <Kioku> Akemi pauses and inhales, drawing air over he tongue to almost literally taste any emotions in her preferred spectrum with her abilities. "Do you want to talk to her? I believe she's coming this way, and we're already quite near..."
  154. <Uracilo> "Y-yes, th-that's good," Lucette says, the guilt she couldn't place diminishing rapidly. She takes a seat and puts on her shoes again, content to wait.
  155. <Uracilo> She smiles and waves at Wendy, from her chair by the wall.
  156. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith walks over to the two of them, she's practiced in heels and glides across the floor. Even for a girl who regularly dresses conservatively, her blossoming figure is eye catching with the motions of her walk and the sway of the dress. As she gets to the two of them her smile grows brighter, "may I have the next dance?"
  157. <SavanahHolland> Wendy opens her eyes, her face soft yet sad from the development of her feelings about Lilith. She swallows the pit in her through waving to Lucette. "I- I do.. I just don't want to tell her this." she then looks to the now approaching Lilith, she nods slightly trying to form a smile.
  158. <Kioku> Akemi's eye is indeed caught by Lilith as she approaches, until she stops moving so enticingly and asks her question. She rubs Wendy's back and smiles to the two of them.
  159. <Uracilo> Lucette moves over to the dance hall, wondering why most of the people there aren't dancing at all. She carries a little cup of punch.
  160. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith offers a hand to Wendy and waits for her to take it. "I forgot to mention," she says to her while leaning forward to be heard over the din of the party. "I love how your hall falls tonight."
  161. <FullMetalBitch> hair*
  162. <SavanahHolland> Wendy takes Lilith's hand with a deep breath, she blushes at Lilith's kind words, bringing her hand to one of her black locks of hair. It almost looking like a swirl of midnight. "T-thank you.." she notices the necklace "I'm glad you wore it..."
  163. <Kioku> Akemi watches the two and steps away, hoping to spend more time with them later. For now, she wonders where Lucette was going, the other component of this triangle she just learned about. And of course a good person to offer friendship to, since she seemed so comfortable last time~
  164. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith begins to lead her to the makeshift dancefloor. Watching the girl as they walk out there and admiring the way her hair bounces. "Of course, it is like you are always pressed against my chest."
  165. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes brighter "Really..?" She looks down slightly embaressed then back up into Lilith green eyes, then being lead to the dancefloor.
  166. <Kioku> \She's already engaged with some other people it looks like... I know FonyX, but I don't recognize those other two girls. Perhaps I'll have to go meet them?\
  167. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith slows as they near the middle and turns to her, "really." She holds one of her hands and stands there for a moment just admiring the simplistic allure of Wendy's features. "Will you lead?"

  178. <SolongStarbird> Val is wandering around the floor now, and stops to watch Lilith and Wendy dance from a distance. He smiles.

She closes her eyes for a moment, enjoying it far more than she cared to admit. Wendy murmurs something soft, that Lilith can barely hear "I was worried.." it sounds even more jumbled from the music.
  185. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith leans down to try and hear her, asking "what did you say?" Her hand slowly explores the girl's side and teases along it with her fingers. They're not really moving to the music but more each others slow movements.
  186. <SolongStarbird> Val watches the two come in close, thinking of Christopher and the 8th grade dance...
  187. <SavanahHolland> Wendy giggles for the touch of Lilith's fingers, then blushing and shaking her head "Nothing!" She moves slightly slower, the music, people and Lilith bringing her heart rate up.
  188. <FullMetalBitch> "May I steal a kiss from you?" Lilith asks her as she explores the girl with one hand while the other arm keeps her tight. The girl's face calls to her and she can't help but get lost in the closeness of their dance.
  189. <SavanahHolland> Wendys glaze matches Lilith, she says softly just for Lilith "Yes.." She closes her eyes again, almost melting into the image of them together, no one comming in the way.
  190. <Kioku> Using her time to meet people and become closer to them, Akemi eventually makes her way to Val. Sneakily. She puts a hand on his shoulder from behind.
  191. <SolongStarbird> There is a nearly undetectable flinch, and then Val turns around. "Oh, hello Akemi!"
  192. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and leaves her hand where it is. "Hi! Dance?"
  193. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith slips her hand up Wendy's back and dances it through her hand to hold the back of her head softly. She pulls the girl's head close and pulls her into a deep kiss. No regard for the social decorum but losing herself in the excitement of the moment. There on the dancefloor they start to kiss once... twice.. thrice...
  194. <SolongStarbird> "Oh. Okay. I'm not usre I'll be any good, but okay..."
  195. <Kioku> Akemi giggles again. "Don't worry. Know it or not, they'll think you're good." \After all, the true test of a dancer is to make her partner look as good as she is!\

  199. <SavanahHolland> Wendy leans into the kiss, the new slow song dulling in her ears, melting into Lilith's kisses. After the first two she seems to take the reigns of Lilith's heart, returning the much more passionalty than she had expected.
  200. <SolongStarbird> Val nods. "Did you still want to dance to a slow song, or...."
  201. <JackieLegs> Once there is a break in the music two lines of squirrels file into the room, Making a pathway For Jackie to walk down, She is wearing a tight Green mini dress that shows off both her shoulders her hair has been styled to be slightly spiked to one side she has green lipstick and eyeliner on, She has a giant smile on her face as she walks into the room

  203. <Kioku> Akemi looks thoughtful, finds the beat of the new song coming on, and hums. \Sure, this works.\ She pulls Val along into the dance, nudging his ankles with her feet to make sure he gets the step, yet fluidly pulling back again quick enough to not miss a beat.
  204. <SolongStarbird> Val does his best to follow, and soon he is matching Akemi's steps.
  205. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith tries to keep the two of them at least slowly dancing together, but is lost in the moment and uses the slow song and intimacy of the night to start to make out with her on the dance floor. It's careful and calculated but she keeps the attack up for the rest of the song. Holding her close and pulling her strings.

  208. <SavanahHolland> Wendy fades into Lilith, her body slowly not seeming to matter to herself, being enraptured by Lilith and the soft slow dance, she gently kisses Lilith's top lip, then paying attention to both at once. She somehow had becommed better at this than her first encounter with Lilith, her passion seeping into Lilith core with each affectionate kiss.
  209. <Kioku> Akemi grins once Val seems to have gotten it, and starts making things a bit more complex, leading him to spin her, change the pace to make things faster or slower without missing the time signature.
  210. <SolongStarbird> Val looks around, making sure to still focus on the dance as well. ~Everyone looks so nice. It makes me wish I at least had a vest and bowtie... or something. I can just barely pull off formal with my coat.~
  211. <SolongStarbird> He dips Akemi down, and smiles, pulling her back up.
  212. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith slows as the song starts to end, breaking away from her to catch her breath and a look at the vision of beauty in front of her.
  213. <JackieLegs> The squirrels depart and Jackie heads over to the table with food and grabs a small plate
  214. <SolongStarbird> https://youtu.be/e68GH7rNzHA next song
  215. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and spins away on the last note of the dance, dropping Val's hand and dipping forward to spin on the ball of one foot twice before standing straight and putting her other foot down.
  216. <Kioku> "That was fun! Thank you~!"
  217. <SolongStarbird> Val is smiling. "No problem. I didn't know I could dance that well. It really was fun."
  218. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at Lilith happily, her blueish grey eyes seeming a much brighter blue than usual. Her cheeks flushed a pretty pink compared to her almost milky white skin. Her hair bouncing slightly, she smile even brighter at Lilith, her fears for the moment subsided for the gentle feeling knocking at her hearts entrance.
  219. <Uracilo> Lucette sighs, deciding to head back to where people make sense... some of the time.
  220. <SolongStarbird> Val finally spots the two lovebirds recovering from their impromptu makeout session. ~Hm. Never escalated to that point with Chris....~
  221. <Kioku> Akemi nods and resumes her search for Lucette, loo- oh hey, there she is! \Guess the other group broke up...\ She skips over to the girl she's barely met.
  222. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith slips a hand down and takes Wendy's hand. "Would you like to dance still?"
  223. <Uracilo> Lucette watches Wendy with Lilith from a chair, a smile on her face. She manages to beat down her insecurity, after all this is just fine, everyone's happy.
  224. <Uracilo> insecurities*
  225. <SolongStarbird> Val returns to wandering.
  226. <Enddphone> "Welp, now I'm alone. Time to find people"
  227. <Kioku> Akemi appears from the shadows, having no clue of the irony involved in that fact, and sits next to Lucette, touching her briefly on the shoulder to alert the girl of her presence. "Hello, again."
  228. <Enddphone> FonyX sees Val and walks up to him
  229. <SavanahHolland> Wendy shakes her head softly, giving her black locks of hair another bounce, she smiles brightly "I have to ask Lucette to dance, I escorted her here after all" she beams, much like Lucette her insecurities dying down, her heart then skipping a beat.
  230. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith nods her head and slips off of Wendy. "Thank you for the dance," she says with a smile before heading off to find trouble.
  231. <Uracilo> Lucette sits very straight in surprise at the sudden contact, turning to regard Akemi, empty cup in her hands. "A-ah, hello Akemi..."
  232. <SolongStarbird> Val notices the approach. "Oh, hi again FonyX. Sorry I kinda abandoned you... Did you meet anyone?"
  233. <Enddphone> "Yeah, ended up in a group at that corner, but they all left at the same time. I think I saw you dancing with somebody, so who's the lucky woman" he rubs his eye again
  234. <Uracilo> Lucette's worries are beaten back quickly by Akemi's friendly presence, and she smiles at her, easily.
  235. <Kioku> "You remembered!" Akemi giggles and smiles more happily. "How have you been? We never got to talk much, find out about each other before. I wanted to ask you to be my friend, but you fell asleep!"
  236. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stands around for a moment, her cheeks stilled filled with a rush of blood from her most recent encounter with Lilith, though still smiling brightly. Then making her way to Lucette happily, the flats on her feet hitting the ground softly, not making a noise against the music. She gives Lucette and Akemi a small wave.
  237. <SolongStarbird> "Oh. It was Akemi. She wanted to dance. Doesn't she look nice? On that note, doesn't everyone?"
  238. <SolongStarbird> https://youtu.be/9ifK1KHOTk0 next song
  239. <JackieLegs> Jackie finds a seat and sits down with a drink looking around the room to observe the dance
  240. <Enddphone> "Sure. Maybe we should go over there, where it's less crowded" FonyX points to the corner he came from (switch chats, is what I'm saying)
  241. <SolongStarbird> "Fine by me."
  242. <Uracilo> "I-I'll be your friend," says Lucette, happy to put a name to the feeling and now be able to cope with the strange familiarity. "A-and of course I'd remember your- your name. I-I wouldn't forget such a thing."
  243. <Uracilo> Lucette sees Wendy and directs a bright smile in her direction, crossing her legs slightly under the decorative details of her dress.
  244. <Kioku> Akemi claps her hands in glee at Lucette's response and, noticing her smile, looks to its direction and waves to Wendy with a similar smile.
  245. <SavanahHolland> She finally walks up close enough to Akemi and Lucette to hear over the music, then standing next to the two, waiting for a good moment to ask Lucette.
  246. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith eventually finds Andrea somewhere knocked over on the floor. She only just remembered dropping him a little after seeing the two girls. She isn't exactly sure why he slipped her mind, and picks him up by his foot and heads off to find a place to sit near the windows tucked away from the speakers and the crowds. Sitting down, she crosses her feet at the ankles and sets Andrea in
  247. <FullMetalBitch> her lap. Her eyes watch through the mingling students to watch the sun and moon of her life move towards each other. A smile crosses her lips as she sits there contemplating the scene. Before she can catch herself, the drowsyness has caught up with her and she slinks down in the chair asleep.
  248. <Kioku> Akemi turns to Lucette. "That makes me really happy~!" She moves as if to hug the girl while also trying to wave Wendy closer.
  249. <Uracilo> Lucette lets the other girl hug her with a blush, placing the cup on another chair to return it a little awkwardly. Her small frame places her in a very embarrassing position, and she tries to not press herself too tightly against her.
  250. * Rose27 is now known as Obama
  251. <SavanahHolland> Wendy turns to Lucette, offering a hand much like Lilith had done to herself "I hope you don't mind if I steal Lucette off you for a moment Akemi." she laughs then looking quickly to Lucette again "Care to dance?"
  252. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and lets Lucette go after a somewhat-long hug that does end up being a little tighter than it started. "As long as I get to ask her afterward~"
  253. * Obama is now known as Rose27
  254. <Uracilo> Lucette extricates herself from the hug, blushing, and takes Wendy's hand. "I-I'd love to."
  255. <Kioku> She rises from her seat with a sweep of one foot around to end up standing behind Wendy facing her, gives the girl a small hug, then skips off again.
  256. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes at Akemi's actions, leaving some unknown butterflys in her stomach, she tugs Lucette to the dance floor with the beat of the music, obviously not good at it but leading Lucette anyways. she waits a moment then asks "Are you enjoying the dance?"
  257. <Kioku> \Now who to seek next... Jackie? Viktor? FonyX?\ She picks a direction to start her search, with the intent of asking the first of the list that she finds for a dance.
  258. <JackieLegs> Jackie waves at Akemi from her seat she has a large smile on her face

  260. <Kioku> With a giggle, Akemi glides over to Jackie and attempts to pull her up, spin her, and start dancing together without even saying a word.
  261. <JackieLegs> Jackie follows along with the motion placing her drink on the chair "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes, Love the moves"
  262. <Kioku> "Thanks! I'm so glad you're here!" Let the whirlwind of complex steps and turns begin.

  266. <Uracilo> "I-I am... though some p-people can be so... confusing, about relationships..." she says with a smile, talking about Aiko's posse, but without providing context. Lucette dances well, and tries to correct Wendy carefuly whenever she can.
  267. <JackieLegs> Jackie allows Akemi to lead keeping up with her moves almost as if she has some formal training "Where did you learn to dance like this?"
  268. <SavanahHolland> Wendy quickly catches on with Lucette, both of them somehow following and leading at the same time. Wendy nods "Though I can't say our relationship isn't confusing." she admits with a small chuckle
  269. <Kioku> "Half after-school clubs, half just needing to know how to move and totally control my body for my runs! It's surprisng how much they overlaped."
  270. <Uracilo> "I-it is...?" Lucette asks, genuinely concerned and slightly confused.
  271. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles anyways, but then goes into thought "At first we were good friends, though we still are. Then well Lilith happened, our relationship at this moment is a little strange, though hanging out more often could fix that." She winks quickly, though you cant quite tell.
  272. <JackieLegs> Jackie takes the lead for a moment and spins Akemi then dips her before bringing her back up she lowers her face close to Akemi's "Well your dance skills are almost as impressive as your ability" she then brings Akemi back up and allows her to take the lead back

  274. <Kioku> Akemi smiles to Jackie and giggles, kissing her on the cheek as the dance ends. "We simply must do this again. For now, let's go trade partners?" She nods toward Lucette and Wendy.
  275. <JackieLegs> Jackie follows along "Which one am i taking?"
  276. <Kioku> "Mmm... I've already danced with Wendy, and indicated that I was going to ask Lucette soon..."
  277. <Kioku> \Not that I'd mind dancing with her again~\
  278. <JackieLegs> "sounds like a plan" Jackie follows Akemi waiting for her to grab Lucette
  279. <Uracilo> Lucette looks worried. "A-are you mad at me, W-Wendy?"
  280. <SavanahHolland> Wendy shakes her head "Of course not! Things have just been strained, its no ones fault, I would be more worried if you were mad."
  281. <Uracilo> Lucette gets a little closer, almost clinging to Wendy. "I-I don't want that... for it to be strained. C-can't we all be happy...?"
  282. <SolongStarbird> Val spots Lilith in the corner. ~She has the right idea... It's getting late... Is it 2018 yet? I left my watch in the dorm... I'd better let Wendy know her date is asleep in the corner...~
  283. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Lucette softly, she then plants a small kiss on the girls forehead, holding her close in the dance "Of course.."
  284. <Kioku> Akemi reaches the pair as the next (slow) song starts. "Wendy, might we trade partners?" She giggles and winks to Lucette.
  285. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods, then moving to whispers to Akemi "Don't go too crazy on the poor girl" she giggles trading partners, going to Jackie.
  286. <JackieLegs> Jackie holds out her hands to accept Wendy as a dance partner for the slow song , She a has a slight grin and blush on her face "Hey Wendy you look beautiful tonight"
  287. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes back, the apples of her cheeks then showing her well blended makeup against her already pale skin. "T-thank you Jackie.. You do too, I love your hair"
  288. <Uracilo> Lucette is slow to extricate herself from Wendy, almost sad to let her go. She recovers a little in Akemi's presence though, taking her hand. "Y-yes..."
  289. <Kioku> Akemi's smile softens slightly and she takes Lucette in her arms, holding her fairly close for the dance. "Would you tell me more about yourself? I barely know anything, after all, except that you seem very nice and Wendy likes you very much."
  290. <SolongStarbird> Val is standing in the background, waiting patiently for the song to end.
  291. <JackieLegs> Jackie pulls Wendy in close and starts to lead "Thank you it took me awhile to get it the way i like, I was a little late to the dance how has it been going?"
  292. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods in the dance, with a small smile "Good, I got to dance with Akemi, Lilith and Lucette, which was nice. How about you?"
  293. <Uracilo> "Y-you think so...?" she asks, hanging on the last bit of Akemi's question. She shakes her head. "M-my name's Lucette LaGarde, I-I'm from a french family, b-but one that moved to- to Quebec, C-canada... I know how to s-sew and crochet and- and I work in town, as a waitress and c-cashier."
  294. <Uracilo> Lucette keeps pace with Akemi, content to follow.
  295. <JackieLegs> Jackie spins Wendy then brings her back placing her left hand on the small of Wendy's back "I got to dance with Akemi and had a few snacks its been nice, I must say this dance seems to be the highlight so far"
  296. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes looking back to Jackie, trying to keep from smiling, or more so blushing even harder "I'm enjoying this dance too.." she giggles "You're really good at it."
  297. <Kioku> Akemi giggles a little at the detail. To her it says that she's done this sort of introduction before. "Well, I'm Kimura Akemi, but I may as well be... what... disowned? Yes, that seems appropriate as a term. I've lived on Okinawa island my whole life, but I'd really like to explore the whole world in time. I make all of my own clothes, and I'm pretty good in the kitchen and at running."
  298. <Uracilo> "Y-you make all your clothes too! I-I'm so glad... I thought I was the only one..." She clings to Akemi a little, as if scared she might disappear.
  299. <JackieLegs> Jackie continues to slow dance with Wendy "Well my Father made me take dance classes, he liked to tease that he was going to throw me a Quinceañera"
  300. <SavanahHolland> Wendy giggles "I've heard of that kinda thing before, sounds intresting." she then pauses "So you were close to your father?"
  301. <JackieLegs> Jackie lets a mournful look slip out and quickly fixes it smiling "I was very close to my Father he raised me for 5 years by himself and taught me how to control my ability's, He also gave me some of the best moments of my life"
  302. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Jackies eyes, almost matching her look of sadness, it seemed like Jackie saying five years hit a cord of her own "I loved my father too.. I lost him when I was younger." the word lost almost seems painful to say. "You're father sounds like a good man."
  303. <Kioku> Akemi lets out a pleased hum when Lucette clings to her, happily holding her close as if reassuring her. "You're not the only one."
  304. <JackieLegs> "He was a good man....He passed away the day before i was brought here" Jackie drops all pretense of trying to hide her sad expression
  305. <SavanahHolland> "The day before he brough you here..?" She looks to Jackie, almost giving her a hug in the dance.

  307. <SolongStarbird> Val takes advantage of the break in the music. "I just thought you'd want to know that Lilth is asleep in the corner." He adresses Wendy.
  308. <JackieLegs> Jackie looks into Wendy's eyes "He didn't bring me here if he has lived i wouldn't have come here, My Mother didn't want to take me so she arranged for me to be picked up from his funeral and brought here" Jackie has a flash of red in her eyes as she mentions her Mother Wendy can feel her heat up
  309. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip at Vals mention of Lilith, whispering to him "I'll get her in a minute." then turning back to jackie, trying to stand on the tips of her toes to give Jackie a even larger hug, she rubs Jackies back trying to comfort her having a almost similar past besides the five year gap.
  310. <SolongStarbird> "You are lucky to have her." Val then leaves the dance, no doubt to get some sleep.
  311. <JackieLegs> Jackie hugs Wendy back "I'm ok.... I just wish there was something i could have done to save him, Thanks for comforting me" Jackie Smiles "I'm glad i have such understanding friends" She Kisses Wendy on the cheek
  312. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes saying quietly "We are more alike then I thought Jackie.." She smiles looking up to Jackie with kind eyes.

  321. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith sits in a row of chairs pushed up against the wall under the windows. She is slumped down with her hands in her lap and her hijab has started to fall a little bit loose. On the floor next to her lays Andrea, splayed under a chair next to her with his face to the ground. Her chest rises and falls softly in her slumber.
  322. <SavanahHolland> Wendy runs up to Lilith, her flats flopping slightly in the back up with quickly getting a grip on the with her toes. She swiftly picks up Andrea in her arms, cradling the little soft guy. She looks to lilith with a small smile. Thinking about picking her up and just walking off, but thinking it may be better to wake it.

  325. <FullMetalBitch> Andrea slumps limpy in Wendy's hold, his small little red vest scuffed from the floor and scrunched up. Lilith seems to be content to sleep through the music and sound of the party.
  326. <Kioku> Akemi replies softly, happiness practically pulsing out from her. "I dunno, people just tend to like me at first meeting. Maybe it's because I try to be nice to everyone, or maybe I just seem like someone to relax around." She shrugs and keeps holding Lucette. "Maybe you just need more time together to really get comfortable? I could come too, we could all hang out until it feels right with her?"
  327. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Andrea sadly, moving to correct his little vest and make him look better from his time on the floor. She then sets him comfortably in a clear space in her fannypack, letting his fluffy stuffed bear upper body peak out quite cutely. Wendy moves her pale slim fingers over Lilith's cheek intimatly, looking at the sleeping girl with a soft smile.
  328. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith fidgets ever so gently at the touch, rolling her head away from the touch and hang away from the intrusive touch.
  329. <Uracilo> "I'd like that..." she mumbles, getting lost in Akemi's eyes for a bit, before averting hers and blushing. She runs a hand through her own hair, slipping it behind her ear.
  330. <SavanahHolland> She calmly removes her hand, still glazing upon her own sleeping beauty. She chims softly "Lilith.." then with a sweet giggle.
  331. <FullMetalBitch> It doesn't seem to affect the girl, who seems to be far enough gone to ignore the music playing in the room and the general din of the people in it. She doesn't move much while sleeping besides a few small movements and her breathing.
  332. <Kioku> Akemi hugs Lucette as the song ends. "I'm so glad we can be friends. I'll try to be a good one to you~"
  333. <Uracilo> "M-me too," she mutters into Akemi's chest as she sinks into the hug, no longer concerned.
  334. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Lilith, wraping her arms around Lilith ready to pick her up in her arms. Giving her a second to get used to the touch, then trying to hold sleeping beauty in her arms.
  335. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith, small and thin, is carried with only a little bit of effort by the girl who actually strength trains. Her legs danging and her limp frame folding into the hold.
  336. <Kioku> Akemi makes not move to pull away from Lucette unless she detects a squirm, personally being comfortable with any length of hug even in such public view.
  337. <SavanahHolland> Wendy makes sure to not crush Andrea, holding on to Lilith easily, lucky for her she had practiced many times when training. She lets out a small breath carrying Lilith through the room to the door, sticking to the sidelines as to not attract attention.

  341. <Kioku> Akemi rests her cheek on Lucette's head when she notices that she isn't trying to leave, and sways with her.
  342. <Uracilo> Lucette uses moving closer into the embrace as an excuse to shift and look around. She bites her lip. "S-seems like most p-people I know have left already..."
  343. <Kioku> "I don't mind staying with you~" Akemi giggles. "But I could escort you out, if you'd be more comfortable."
  344. <Uracilo> "B-but the new year!" she exclaims, clearly nowhere near tired. She's used to coming back after midnight from work.
  345. <Kioku> Akemi giggles again. "So you'd like to stay~? Will you mind not having people you know around?"
  346. <Uracilo> "I know you..." she mumbles, looking into the other girl's eyes from her position at the level of her chest.
  347. <Kioku> Akemi meets Lucette's gaze and runs a hand across her hair. "I'll stay with you then, if you like."
  348. <Uracilo> "That'd be nice..." she says, touching the other girl's chin with her nose, before turning her head to rest against her again, utterly calm. They sway until Lucette's feet start hurting, and she asks for them to move to a chair.

  351. <Uracilo> "Si vou voulez..." she whispers, a little lost. She looks into Akemi's eyes with a smile that conveys her feelings better than her words.
  352. <Kioku> Akemi blinks once and shifts her head, giggling. "Wakarimasen."
  353. <Uracilo> "Huh...?" asks Lucette. An expression understandable through language barriers.
  354. <Kioku> Akemi giggles again and strokes Lucette's cheek. "I don't understand what you said~"
  355. <Uracilo> "If-if you want..." she whispers with the same accent and intonation, a little embarrassed.
  356. <Kioku> "I don't mind staying with you... whether that means staying right here, or going somewhere else. I love spending time with my friends~!"
  357. <Uracilo> "I love y-that too..." she mumbles. "I-if you're not... c-comfy we could steal a couch..."
  358. <Uracilo> "Or a bed," she adds, almost inaudible, against Akemi's shoulder.
  359. <Kioku> "Both of those sound nice... are you sure you'd be comfortable with that~? We could walk to the dorm right now if you like..."
  360. <Uracilo> "I'm s-sure I'm sure..." she mumbles.
  361. <Kioku> Akemi carefully lifts Lucette in her arms. "I'll carry you if you don't walk..."
  362. <Kioku> She stands up, waiting to see whether she should point the girl's feet to the ground.
  363. <Uracilo> Lucette is extremely light. A little lighter than she probably should be. "I can walk..." she mumbles, but makes no move to stop Akemi from picking her up.
  364. <Kioku> Noticing the lack of resistance and her sheer lightness, Akemi just carries her out to the dorm. It's simpler!

  538. <FullMetalBitch> As you enter the room, you'll notice that you've been sent to someones personal office. On the side of the room, filled to the brim with file boxes, is a small folding table with a few chairs around it. Behind it sits a woman in her late twenties, a brunette who wears her hair in messy waves. She wears a simple blouse and skirt, some flats, very business casual. On the table are a
  539. <FullMetalBitch> few files sitting next to her macbook that she is typing away on. There are more than a few personal effects around the room, making it almost feel like a sorority girl's college dorm room. She stands up as you get in the room and closes her macbook, starting to pack it in a satchel with some files. "Hey there," she says with a smile. "You the students they're giving me?"
  540. <Kioku> Akemi matches the smile and nods. "It sounds like. What are we being given for?"
  541. <Uracilo> Lucette looks around, focusing on each piece of decor in turns. She turns to the lady once she starts speaking, thankful that Akemi popped the question before she had to do it.
  542. <SavanahHolland> Wendy moves slightly in place, wondering why exactly they were sent here, though the idea of a mission briefly pops into her mind.
  543. <FullMetalBitch> The woman continues to pack some things into the bag before she looks for the bag she checked out from the media room. "Oh so ya, they didn't tell you guys! Forgot. So I asked for some of you guys to work on this thing I'm working on. Super top secret stuff, right?" She laughs at her own humor, "kidding! It's not really that top secret. Like low level access."
  544. <Kioku> Akemi raises an eyebrow and her head starts to tilt in curiosity.
  545. <FullMetalBitch> "Anyway so you guys have everything you need right? I brought some water and snacks and stuff, don't worry! I'm not some monster or anything. Seriously though, they called you guys a ltitle late and I really really wanted to get started earlier." She offers the black bag she picked up to Akemi, "can you hold this?" Before she offers a plastic grocery bag to Lucette filled with juice
  546. <FullMetalBitch> boxes and stuff from the store in town. "And you this?"
  547. <Kioku> Akemi lets go of her friends' hands and takes the bag offered, glancing in if it's open.
  548. <Uracilo> Lucette takes hold of the bag, a little confused by all of this. "Wh-what are we going to do...?"
  549. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at the bags being held, not exactly sure what to do, and starts shuffling around.
  550. <Uracilo> takes hold of the grocery bag*
  551. <FullMetalBitch> It is closed, but very obviously a camera bag. "Come on," she says ushering the kids out of the room as she starts to lead them out of the building. "So do any of you take classes with Doctor Kirkpatrick?
  552. <SavanahHolland> Wendy slowly follows along, though maybe a little behind, she answers after a pause "I don't think so."
  553. <Uracilo> "N-not me..." mumbles Lucette, embarrassed. "Wh-what does he teach...?"
  554. <Kioku> Akemi shrugs, following. "I sat in on a class, but won't get to his until next semester."
  555. <FullMetalBitch> "History, super boring stuff. Anyway so we lost him! Weird right? Or he lost himself. They were going to get a researcher on it and fix it all up but, so I got this funding for this thing and. Well that's where you kids come in!"
  556. <FullMetalBitch> "I said, 'gimme three of the smartest kids you got!' Right? And they said 'no Kelly, you don't get to pick'. And I say, 'so what do I get to pick', right? And they say 'Girl's Dorm.' I don't know why only girls. They're weird."
  557. <Kioku> Akmei giggles, liking this woman's excitement.
  558. <Uracilo> "Lost? L-like, in the forest?" asks Lucette, falling slightly behind, a frown on her face.
  559. <SavanahHolland> Wendy moves up a little faster to stick close between Lucette and Akemi, looking up to the woman. "So are we going to find him then..?"
  560. <FullMetalBitch> She leads the group of you into the classroom building, down some halls to one of the History classes far off. Two guards are posted outside the door, but both looked bored out of their minds. As you approach one of them unlocks the door and lets you in.
  561. <FullMetalBitch> "No no, lost in like. Well, they keep saying 'the ninth level of hell'. But we don't really agree with the theory."
  562. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip "How can we find him then..?"
  563. <FullMetalBitch> "Ya you kids are smart right? So you're gonna save it! Cool, ya, like super heroes." She points at Lucette, "you totally come off as a Supergirl." She ushers you into the room and follows you in. "I dunno! Figure it out."
  564. <FullMetalBitch> You walk into the room and can almost feel the air of electricity coursing through. There are many artifacts around the room and pieces of art that reflect a South American history. The desks are arranged in a circle in the middle of the room with a cocoa plant sitting in the middle, it looks sickly. On the North wall is a stature of a large axe, embedding into a mound of dirt, the
  565. <FullMetalBitch> statue is damaged and discolored from water damage. On the West wall is a mural of a beautiful field of corn framed by rolling hills, with a large temple in the background. On the South wall is the teacher’s desk, an odd eyeless mask made out of bone hanging above the whiteboard. On which are written the words “P'atéen tíin juunaj!” On the East wall is an owl, locked in a
  566. <FullMetalBitch> cage. Next to it is a small ornate and empty bowl. Behind it are hung up and framed ceremonial garbs of a religion long past.

  569. <FullMetalBitch> "Oh ya, and I never got your names. Or I did, but I skimmed the email they sent me. I'm Miss Pasket. You can call me Kelly, because, ya know." She sets her bag down next to a chair by the door, pulling her laptop out.
  570. <Uracilo> "I-I'm Lucette." Her cheeks color slightly at the idea of being a superhero. Her? No way.
  571. <Kioku> Akemi looks around in interest, hardly taking more than a moment on each spot in her frantic attempt to take it all in. "Akemi," she replies, bowing mid-spin, and reaching out a hand on the next pass.
  572. <FullMetalBitch> "Oh can you get the camera out and set it up! I'll turn it on, just like. Aim it at the room." She says to Akemi.
  573. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sticks closer to Akemi, not really saying anything, already somewhat defeated from how things have been going.
  574. <Kioku> Akemi nods and opens the camera bag, a little disappointed... and not really knowing how it works since her family couldn't afford such things. Or at least, wouldn't let them near their mark of shame.
  575. <FullMetalBitch> Kelly eventually gets up and helps Akemi set the camera up on a chair aimed towards the room, turning it on to record before sitting back down. "Okay Kelly's Angels! Go!" She says excitedly as she starts to type on her macbook.
  576. <Uracilo> Lucette squeaks at being put in the spotlight without warning. "Wh-what are we supposed to- to do...?" she asks, trying to control her fidgeting in front of the camera, and to look less nervous in general.
  577. <Kioku> Akemi blinks and giggles, not knowing the reference but finding it entertaining anyway. She first moves to the south wall, interested in the mask and whiteboard.
  578. <FullMetalBitch> "Find Doctor Kirkpatrick. You got this Supergirl!"
  579. <SavanahHolland> Wendy just sorta stands still, not sure what to exactly to do at this point at all.
  580. <FullMetalBitch> The whiteboard is hastily cleaned off to make room for the phrase. Some words about south american history on it still visible but most of it gibberish that just frames the words. The mask is made of bone, what kind is up for debate.
  581. <Uracilo> "H-he's in here? I... what?" Lucette looks around, from the statue to the cocoa plant, to the mural and finally the mask Akemi is going for.
  582. <FullMetalBitch> "Well they say he's in here. He went missing in here at least."
  583. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then slowly shuffles next to Akemi, giving her a look of confusion as if she doesn't even know what to do at this point, having almost said nothing since comming in the room.
  584. <Uracilo> Lucette takes a deep breath, remembering that weird things are the norm here, and moves towards the mural, running her finger down it to test the feel of the paint. Maybe it's actually a strange window?
  585. <FullMetalBitch> The paint feels... Odd to Lucette. Like there's something alive about it. The stone of the temple in the painting feels like stone. The wheat like wheat, so forth and so on. If she could reach up and touch the sun near the ceiling, she might get burnt. On closer
  586. <FullMetalBitch> Roll a perception Lucette!
  587. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : a perception Lucette! --> error: malformed expression
  588. <Kioku> Akemi smiles toward Wendy. "I have no clue what we're to do, or what these things are. Isn't it exciting? Let's all check out different things to see if we can learn more."
  589. <Uracilo> Roll 3d4-8+5
  590. <Kioku> Even though she says that, Akemi doesn't seem interested in separating to look around instead of staying together.
  591. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 3d4-8+5 --> [ 3d4=7 ]{4}
  592. <Uracilo> (Sorry 4d3)
  593. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+5
  594. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+5 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{3}
  595. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette can't exactly tell, but it almost looks like the mural is... moving?
  596. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods, then taking a small breath and looking over to the woman slowly "I'm Wendy." she's dissappointed the woman didn't seem to care when she said nothing and at this point just stays next to Akemi.
  597. <FullMetalBitch> Kelly smiles up from the computer, watching the girls move around and typing furiously as they act.
  598. <Kioku> Akemi pats Wendy's arm, and starts glancing between the temple in the mural, the mask, and the religious garb by the bowl.
  599. <Uracilo> "Th-there's something strange about this painting..." Lucette mumbles, poking and prodding the strange paint.
  600. <SavanahHolland> Wendy walks up to the mural with Akemi, then tries to touch the sun with a outstretched arm.
  601. <FullMetalBitch> The paint doesn't re-act to her touch, but seems to move on it's own.
  602. <FullMetalBitch> (Lucettes)
  603. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy knows this touch as if she was touching a blazing coal. The sun is hot in her hand, even for her.
  604. <SavanahHolland> Wendy continues to rub her hand against the sun, then slowly removing it, her hand still strangly hot from the touch "The sun in this is.. hot?"
  605. <Kioku> Akemi lets herself be pulled to the mural. "Hmm? Strange how?"
  606. <Kioku> She blinks at Wendy's statement, first looking at the girl's hand, then the sun.
  607. <Kioku> Akemi leans in and studies the temple in the mural.
  608. <Uracilo> "L-let's look at some of the other things..." mumbles the shortest girl, heading for the owl. She takes a moment to look at the whiteboard, on the way, and turns to the older woman. "K-Kelly... Wh-what does that say, in- in english...?"
  609. <FullMetalBitch> *Roll Perception Akemi!
  610. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+5
  611. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+5 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{6}
  612. <FullMetalBitch> The owl looks up at you Lucette, tilting it's head quizically at you as you approach it. Giving you a quick 'hoot'! Kelly looks up from her laptop, "oh! It means uh, 'leave me alone'."
  613. <Uracilo> Lucette is confused by the answer, but approaches the owl nonetheless. She leans close, trying to see if there's anything weird about it.
  614. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sighs, then closes her eyes to trail her fingers along the mural, not really caring where they go just feeling what she can.
  615. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi notices very parculiarlly that at the top of the pyramid, poking out from the temple on top is a strange thin man with gray skin. Wearing only religous garbs that look familiar to her, and with eyes that stare deeply at her before the small painting dissapears back into the temple.
  616. <Kioku> Akemi blinks, then looks at the garb on the opposite wall for comparison.
  617. <FullMetalBitch> The owl looks healthy, jumps around and moves a little more actively as Lucette comes close. It looks at her with large eyes and flutters it's wings some.
  618. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy feels the soft sky, a coolness to the touch. Then the coarse wheat fields, and the stone of the temple. Her finger gets caught on a bump somewhere in the fields.
  619. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi recognizes the garbs. It's the same pair.
  620. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stops her fingers at the bump, opening her eyes to study it.
  621. <FullMetalBitch> *Wendy, perception!
  622. <SavanahHolland> (Acuity probably doesn't count but it doesn't hurt to ask, does it?)
  623. <FullMetalBitch> (I'll allow it!)
  624. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7
  625. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{8}
  626. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy notices as she runs her fingers along that the wheat is moving. On closer inspected she notices some colorful figures dipping in and out of view through the wheat field towards the temple. Their robes seem familiar.
  627. <Kioku> \Well, that was to be expected. It's all the same theme, things from the same place. ... I want to go there!\ "Wendy, let's be sure to go to wherever this is of some day, okay?"
  628. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles, looking, or watching the figures bob through the wheat feilds to the Temple "Of course!"
  629. <FullMetalBitch> "What, like a museum?" Kelly asks from her spot by the door.
  630. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and slips over to the bowl by the owl, staring intently at it and particularly looking for carvings.
  631. <Kioku> "Mmm? Some of the temples have got to still be standing, right? Like one of those!"
  632. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy watches the group eventually exit the field and start to climb the steps on the front. It's a procession of a dozen or show grey skinned people in matching ceremonial garb.
  633. <FullMetalBitch> *One more perception Wendy!
  634. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7
  635. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=7 ]{6}
  636. <FullMetalBitch> The bowl has some detailed and intricate carvings in and around it.
  637. <FullMetalBitch> *Roll knowledge history or something like that!
  638. <Kioku> \I kind of want to put a drop of blood in it to see what happens... but it might be just a bowl, and I don't want to be disappointed...\
  639. <Uracilo> Lucette holds her finger close to the owl, trying to slip it between the bars of the cage to maybe feel the feathers, hoping not to get bitten.
  640. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy notices something poking in and out of the group as they move that doesn't match any of the other colors at all. It's hard to make much more out.
  641. <FullMetalBitch> The owl scurries forward and leans forward, it starts to rub it's head against Lucette's finger.
  642. <FullMetalBitch> *Akemi, you have any perception or knowledge skills to interpret the bowl carvings? Roll 'em!
  643. <SavanahHolland> Wendy runs her finger along the group of people in the mural, trying to feel for the thing that doesn't match, or possibly belong.
  644. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+3 Just brains, but she loves studying cultures, so maybe!
  645. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+3 Just brains, but she loves studying cultures, so maybe! --> [ 4d3=6 ]{1}
  646. <Uracilo> Lucette giggles, caressing the owl's head. "Wh-whose owl is this...?
  647. <FullMetalBitch> It's the oddest thing, Wendy for a brief second feels.. Flesh?
  648. <Kioku> (Right, +2 more for perception, missed that part)
  649. <FullMetalBitch> *Lucette, mental defence!
  650. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+3
  651. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{4}
  652. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi sort of pieces together from the pictures, not understanding the text, that it has a temple like the one on the wall on it. The other pictures make little sense.
  653. <SavanahHolland> Wendy grits her teeth, briefly backing away from the feeling of flesh, the going back to the mural, almost squinting to try and see the fleshy unmatched figure, or thing even to try and see.
  654. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette hears a voice, coming from the owl but not audibly. "I am Ah Puch's owl." It's a calm deep tone, old and wise. The owl continues to rub against her finger enjoying the feel.
  655. <FullMetalBitch> *One last perception Wendy!
  656. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7
  657. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{7}
  658. <Kioku> "This bowl is set with the religious garb... and it's the same as used in the temple," Akemi muses. "Maybe everything in here is ceremonial in some way, but I don't know how that might explain the axe or the owl..." She glances at said owl.
  659. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy gives it one last look and finally gets a good look of what seems to be a middle aged man in a blazer trying to fight out of the grip of the grey skinned monks. The group enters the temple and dissapears from sight.
  660. <Uracilo> "Ah- Ah Puch's owl? Wh-who is that?" she asks, looking around in search of the source of the voice.
  661. <Kioku> Akemi blinks a couple times at Lucette and giggles.
  662. <FullMetalBitch> "Oh ya," Kelly says as Akemi starts to talk. "Wait, sorry! Not supposed to help."
  663. <SavanahHolland> Wendys eyes open wide at the sight, then spinning around to look at everyone else, pointing to the painting "I saw someone in the mural, a man, in a blazer."
  664. <FullMetalBitch> "He is my master," the voice says to Lucette again as the owl hops back up onto his bar and leans forward to await more scratching.
  665. <Kioku> Akemi tilts her head and looks at Wendy. "Well, the people in it /were/ moving, after all," she says as if it's the most normal thing in the world. "But a blazer doesn't fit! We should get whoever that is out so they can change clothes before going back!"
  666. <Kioku> \... How does one get a person out of a moving painting, again?\
  667. <Uracilo> Lucette looks at the owl, sighing in relief that at least she's not imagining disembodied voices. She continues to scratch his head. "Wh-where is Ah Puch?"
  668. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip, glancing to the painting "How do we get him out...? It's not like we can just jump in..."
  669. <Kioku> Akemi giggles. "Good idea!" She shifts into spirit form and tries to jump into the painting, unless someone gets in the way.
  670. <SavanahHolland> Wendy tries to grab her hand before she can jump in "W-wait!"
  671. <FullMetalBitch> "In Hell," Lucette hears answered quickly. The owl bounces a little as it flutters his wings.
  672. <FullMetalBitch> *Akemi, roll Spirit Form!
  673. <Kioku> Akemi's paw passes through Wendy's hand, but the contact does divert her into Wendy instead. ~No? You're right, I'm so sorry! I should find a way to bring you with me!~
  674. <Uracilo> Lucette recoils at the answer, taking a few steps back from the cage. "H-hell...? I-is he dead?"
  675. <Kioku> (Mm? She was intercepted, should I roll anyway?)
  676. <FullMetalBitch> (Nope, not now)
  677. <FullMetalBitch> The owl shifts and hops back down to the bottom of the cage, Lucette hearing "it is his domain."
  678. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blinks her eyes at Akemi inside of her, moving to sit down, even if that means on the ground. \Sorry.. how would we get in though..?\
  679. <Kioku> ~No idea!~ Akemi jumps back out, sitting on the floor across from Wendy. "Maybe the mask, bowl, or axe is related?"
  680. <Uracilo> Lucette moves closer to the other girls, looking frazzled. "Th-the owl is th-the devil's pet..."
  681. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stays on the ground, then slowly stumbling to stand up, offering Akemi a hand to help her up "Maybe?" After she helps Akemi up she walks to the axe, motioning Akemi to follow.
  682. <Uracilo> Lucette hugs herself after being ignored, choosing to move near the mask instead. She pushes a chair or some other piece of furniture close to the whiteboard and tries to take it down from its perch.
  683. <Kioku> Akemi takes the hand and stands, following to the axe. "The devil's pet?"
  684. <Kioku> (I wasn't ignoring her! :()
  685. <FullMetalBitch> *Lucette! Roll perception!
  686. <Kioku> (Could she do analysis?)
  687. <FullMetalBitch> (Sure!)
  688. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+5
  689. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+5 --> [ 4d3=7 ]{4}
  690. <SavanahHolland> Wendy runs her hand along it, managing to keep her fingers away from the blade but trailing along the sides, looking for clues that could get them inside the painting.
  691. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette notices that the mask is very well put together, made of actual bone, and inscribed with etchings all over.
  692. <FullMetalBitch> *Wendy! Roll Mental Defense!
  693. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7
  694. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{8}
  695. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy felts a bit of a tingling on the back of her neck, but otherwise just feels the course material making the sculpture.
  696. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sighs slightly at the strange feeling in the back of her neck, trying to think of something to do that could help, then running her finger sharply along the edge of the blade.
  697. <Uracilo> Lucette fidles with the mask, before turning it around and looking intently at the inside of it.
  698. <Uracilo> fiddles*
  699. <Kioku> Akemi's eyes widen slightly when Wendy does this, grabbing her wrist afterward to examine her finger.
  700. <FullMetalBitch> The blade is dull, carved from stone but not to a sharp edge. The handle of the axe sticks up almost verticly.
  701. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette sees that the mask is well worn, and it looks like it would fit perfectly even on her small frame. There are no etchings on the inside. Just string and smooth bone.
  702. <SavanahHolland> Wendy seems suprised by Akemi, the blade didn't seem to hurt her seeing that it's dull. She lets out a nervous laugh "I'm fine."
  703. <Uracilo> She bites her lip and brings it closer to her own face, slowly inching it closer to try and wear it.
  704. <Uracilo> She hopes it won't grow spikes and turn her into a vampire or something.
  705. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette eventually puts the mask on. It fits pretty good, and is only a little scratchy.
  706. <FullMetalBitch> *Roll Mental Defense!
  707. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+3
  708. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=5 ]{0}
  709. <Kioku> Akemi looks slightly... disappointed? She smiles to Wendy anyway, and crouches to better see the axe, and runs a hand against the side of the blade, rather than the edge.
  710. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette starts to feel, a little stranger than she usually does. Her mind starts to get small suggestions, little ideas planted in it like the seeds of a crop. She feels the immediete need to let the owl out of it's cage, and the creeping feeling that she wants to... steal Miss Kelly's wallet.
  711. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then turns around, taking back her hand and rubbing her thumb to her middle finger. She looks over to Lucette, walking over to her slowly, looking the mask over on the girls small face "Lucette...?"
  712. <FullMetalBitch> *Akemi! Perception, or some skill related to axes!
  713. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+5
  714. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+5 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{5}
  715. <Uracilo> "Hmm? Wh-what is it, Wendy?" she aks as she walks towards Wendy, and the cage, as well.
  716. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy notices that the mask is large, and made to look like some sort of boogeyman of the night. Her small eyes sit in two holes, but the rest of it covers her face entirely. It fits her style pretty well.
  717. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi notices small etchings of... corn? On the side of the axe's blade.
  718. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip for a moment "You probably shouldn't be wearing that.." she lets out a nervous laugh, last time someone wore a mask that didn't turn out too well, and by that I mean everyone was twerking.
  719. <Uracilo> "O-oh, I-I'll take it off in a moment... C-can you give me a light first...? I think a shadow could help..."
  720. <Kioku> "Corn..." Akemi mumbles. "The axe, the corn, the canvas, the temple, the clothes, the mask, the bowl." Akemi giggles. "Sacrifice corn to the bowl! ... No, that's utterly silly."
  721. <Kioku> She snaps her head around and giggles again, looking at Lucette and Wendy.
  722. <SavanahHolland> Wendys face scrunches up slightly in confusion "How could a shadow help...?" She starts moving her hands to take off Lucette's mask in worry, though her movements subtle.
  723. <Uracilo> "W-we might need to move something heavy, or- or..." she mumbles, taking Wendy's hands. "P-please?"
  724. <SavanahHolland> Wendy takes a sharp breath, the mask oddly creepy to her own senses for a moment, then quickly passing "Alright... just are you sure you're alright?"
  725. <Kioku> Akemi stands up and leans forward. "I wasn't done looking at those etchings~" She stares at the mask, trying to read it since it's what she spend the least time with so far. Well, besides the owl.
  726. <FullMetalBitch> *Akemi, you know what to roll~
  727. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+5
  728. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+5 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{3}
  729. <Uracilo> "I'm fine... Wh-what's wrong?"
  730. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi examines the etchings and can only glean some idea of them being intricate inscriptions.
  731. <Kioku> \... Where does the cocoa plant come in? Does it come in? Ooh! Is a cocoa bean an appropriate sacrifice? ... It's probably just here as teaching material, unrelated...\
  732. <Uracilo> Lucette lets go of one of Wendy's hands. "C-can you use some... w-warmth, first?"
  733. <Kioku> Even with this thought, Akemi realizes that she hasn't checked on the plant yet, and flows between Lucette and Wendy to get to it, still paying some attention to them.
  734. <Kioku> (ducks under their held hands)
  735. <FullMetalBitch> It is a cocao plant, some beans, but it is sickly. It's sitting in a nice unpainted hand made pot.
  736. <SavanahHolland> Wendy thinks for a moment, then nodding, still slightly concerned with the idea of Lucette wearing a random mask. She then takings Lucette's arm gingerly in hand, the trying to focus her powers.
  737. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+4
  738. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{5}
  739. <FullMetalBitch> Toasty Lucette is Toasty.
  740. <SavanahHolland> Wendy lets the warm feeling pulse into Lucette's veins, finding its way into Lucettes core, the power focusing on being calm, yet you know you are safe from the light for now.
  741. <Uracilo> "N-now the light..." she mumbles, her eyes closed to feel the familiar brand of pleasure.
  742. * SavanahHolland1 (~SavanahHo@9D7A7D74:B5F2CF8A:D8ADCA06:IP) has joined
  743. <SavanahHolland1> roll 4d3-8+6 White light!
  744. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland1 rolled : 4d3-8+6 White light! --> [ 4d3=6 ]{4}
  745. * Fuck_ (~Fuck@46168199:A0FDBCA1:8A243AD6:IP) has joined
  746. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+3 To form shadows
  747. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 To form shadows --> [ 4d3=6 ]{1}
  748. * SavanahHolland has quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
  749. * SirGoldFish has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
  750. * SavanahHolland1 is now known as SavanahHolland
  751. * Fuck_ is now known as SirGoldFish
  752. <Kioku> Akemi watches Lucette curiously.
  753. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy forms a strong light, and Lucette manipulates the shadows formed by the light with ease. Though she can't manage to make anything much larger than a person.
  754. <Uracilo> "Th-thanks," Lucette mumbles, as she lets go of Wendy and moves towards Kelly. Her shadow moves close to the owl's cage, eyeing the other bird.
  755. * ChanServ sets mode +q on #firestarters SirGoldFish
  756. * ChanServ gives channel operator status to SirGoldFish
  757. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks over to the shadow, following it and seeing the owl, she stares at it. Then decides that it's a adorable owl.
  758. <Uracilo> "H-hey, Kelly... C-can you lend me your- your wallet, m-maybe?" she stutters, blushing furiously, her hands on her cheeks, trying to hide it.
  759. <FullMetalBitch> The owl in the cage bounces around, fluttering it's wings wildly as it starts to hoot loudly and aggressively at the shadow approaching it. Lucette hears in the back of their mind, "do it now!"
  760. <Kioku> Akemi watches the shadow for several moments, then glances between it and Lucette.
  761. <FullMetalBitch> Kelly looks up from her computer, "my wallet? Why?"
  762. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to the shadow, trying to figure out why Lucette needed it, then looking worriedly at the owl. "I-is it alright..?"
  763. <Uracilo> "I-it's for- for a test I want to do. I-I forgot mine, and..." she cringes as the orders come, and her shadow manifests an arm almost immediately, hooking it under the cage's latch and springing it open.
  764. <Kioku> Akemi jumps up in surprise, a needle appearing in her hand that she throws at the cage door to try to re-close it.
  765. <SavanahHolland> Wendy almost falls back at the quick actions, then trying to grab the cage to close it, but ends up failing with fubbling hands, just inches away from being hit by the needle.
  766. <FullMetalBitch> The owl starts to calm down, backing up in the cage to stare at the shadow. Kelly reaches down and digs through her purse and pulls out her wallet before offering it to Lucette. "Okay Supergirl, but I get it back before we leave!"
  767. <FullMetalBitch> *Akemi, roll uh, knife closey door
  768. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+4
  769. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  770. <Uracilo> Lucette takes the wallet and nods, "Y-yes!" she promises.
  771. <Uracilo> (Can the shadow roll against that?)
  772. <FullMetalBitch> (YeS)
  773. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+4
  774. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  775. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette's shadow manages to open the cage, shifting oddly to knock Akemi's needle off trajectory just enough to hit the cage but fall limp like Bryce with a hot date. The owl flutters out of the now open cage and heads across the room to perch on Lucette's shoulder. "Now pay the price," Lucette hears in the back of her head. She feels like she needs to head over to the bowl and do
  776. <FullMetalBitch> something.
  777. <Uracilo> Lucette runs towards the bowl and looks into it, then takes twenty dollars out of Kelly's wallet and puts them in there, biting her lip.
  778. <Kioku> Akemi frowns. "Lucette, why?" She spins toward the girl, skin shimmering and the breath of a kiss on her lips in case she needs to stop something.
  779. <FullMetalBitch> "Not enough," Lucette hears in the back of her mind.
  780. <FullMetalBitch> *Everyone! Something like perception, roll numbers!
  781. <SavanahHolland> Wendy rushes to Lucette, trying to grab her by the wrist, then finishing Akemi's sentence "Why did your shadow open the cage??" She bites her lip hard "are you sure you're alright, I don't think you are.." At this point she looks like she's about the rip the mask off Lucette.
  782. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7
  783. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{8}
  784. <FullMetalBitch> The owl on Lucette's shoulder starts to hoot at Wendy. Flapping it's wings at her aggressively to try and scare her off.
  785. <Kioku> Akemi slowly walks toward Lucette and the owl... staring mostly at the owl.
  786. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at the owl, then tries to swiftly remove the mask from Lucette
  787. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy notices as she glances back to Akemi in between watching the little shadow master. That the sun on the opposite wall has dissapeared to be replaced by heavy storm clouds circling above the wheat field. Wind pushing the stalks of wheat around aggressively.
  788. <SavanahHolland> (Should I roll agility or brawn?)
  789. <FullMetalBitch> *Wendy Agility! Lucette Agility!
  790. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+1
  791. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+1 --> [ 4d3=7 ]{0}
  792. <Kioku> (Initiative/Reflex help at all?)
  793. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+4
  794. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{5}
  795. <Uracilo> Lucette dumps all the money in the bowl the moment she gets a chance, promising to pay Kelly back.
  796. <SavanahHolland> (I still fail XD)
  797. <FullMetalBitch> (Ya, sorry)
  798. <FullMetalBitch> (I'll remember in the future)
  799. <FullMetalBitch> "That's a start." Lucette hears in the back of her mind. There is suddently a crackle of lighting on the mural. Followed shortly by a crackle of lighting, well, in the room. In front of the white board a lighting strike rips through the ceiling and hits the ground. In it's place on the scorched tile is a simple blue blazer Wendy might recognize.
  800. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette has dodged Wendy's grabbing, she's a slippery little girl and the shadows sliding around Wendy's feet aren't helping her cause.
  801. <Kioku> Akemi looks around, startled, then shifts and leaps into Lucette.
  802. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi will notice that the owl has calmed down a bit, trying only to get in the way of Wendy's attacks on the mask than anything else.
  803. <FullMetalBitch> *Akemi! Roll for penetration! Lucette! Roll for mental defence!
  804. <Kioku> (Not trying to possess, just to get in contact)
  805. <Kioku> (Err, mental contact)
  806. <FullMetalBitch> *Unless you really love her, then let her in.
  807. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks down at her feet, trying to get away from the shadows, she then tries to pull Lucette away from the bowl forcefully.
  808. <FullMetalBitch> (Oh. Well I'll let Ura decide if you touch Lucette sexually mentally)
  809. <Uracilo> Lucette has been around Akemi too much to resist, and doesn't really see a reason to. It's not like she's doing anything bad...
  810. <Kioku> ~Lucette! What are you doing? Why? Please, won't you tell us?~
  811. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette is just doing as she was asked. Paying tribute.
  812. <FullMetalBitch> Except for the Owl, the Owl just wanted her to let him out and spread his wings a little.
  813. <Uracilo> ~"J-just paying tribute... l-like I'm supposed to..."~ she says and thinks at the same time.
  814. <Kioku> ~Supposed to? Do you know what you're paying tribute to? Why? What is supposed to?~
  815. <Uracilo> ~"A-and the owl looked so sad..."~
  816. <Uracilo> Lucette doesn't ellaborate on her reasons. Those should be obvious, right?
  817. <Kioku> Akemi tries to barely brush against Lucette's mind, to make any outside mental contact go through her first.
  818. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+4
  819. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  820. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi can glean quite easily that the Owl is perched somewhere in Lucette's mind, counting his so far twenty dollars. It's the only thing influencing her.
  821. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+7 I want to talk but Asami says I have to try to kick it out first
  822. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+7 I want to talk but Asami says I have to try to kick it out first --> [ 4d3=8 ]{7}
  823. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi's spirit growls and hisses or whatever foxes do at the Owl, and it flutters away and leaves Lucette's mind. She no longer feels a need to do anything more than be her adorable self.
  824. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then tries again to, this time, forcefully pull Lucette's mask off.
  825. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+4
  826. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  827. <FullMetalBitch> *R-r-r-roll it, if Lucette wants to fight it. She feels no need to keep it on.
  828. <Uracilo> Lucette is too busy digging the change out of Kelly's wallet to fight Wendy off.
  829. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy pulls the mask off the girl. Messing up her hair a little as she does.
  830. <Kioku> ~Lucette? Won't you please tell me?~
  831. <Uracilo> ~Is that enough...?~ she asks her mind, not really recognizing Akemi without the pleasurable feelings.
  832. <Kioku> (Hmm? That's still there, it's a side-effect she can't turn off)
  833. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette gets no answer, but there is a flash of lighting on the mural as she dumps what change Kelly has into the bowl.
  834. <SavanahHolland> Wendy puts the mask down quiet quickly, then trying to lean to look into Lucette's eyes, then darting to run over to the mural, looking for the temple.
  835. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy can very obviously see the same dead eyed, grey skinned monk from before standing outside the temple. He is now very obviously staring straight back at her. A thunderstorm has started.
  836. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares back at the man, almost as if it were a contest, then the quickly starts trailing her fingers to find something, anything that could stop this.
  837. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy's fingers run along the temple and hit a more pronounced dimple. In front of the temple entrance is a large stone bowl on a pedestal that must have slipped her eye sight before, grey on grey. In it she can just barely see... green?
  838. <Uracilo> ~Wh-where did you go...?~ Lucette asks her mind, worried.
  839. <SavanahHolland> Wendy closes her eyes, her mind then going to the axe. If the bowl is now in the picture then.. Wendy starts running to the axe at that thought, almost holding it down.
  840. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi feels the Owl, not perching himself on top of the cage, trying to talk to Lucette's mind.
  841. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+7 Look, it's going to get cursed at this rate, literally. >.>
  842. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+7 Look, it's going to get cursed at this rate, literally. >.> --> [ 4d3=8 ]{7}
  843. <FullMetalBitch> As Wendy grabs the Axe she feels, well... *Wendy! Roll Liberation!
  844. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+4
  845. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  846. <Kioku> ~Don't worry, Lucette, it's okay~! Why don't you think about stepping back and asking if Wendy needs help?~
  847. <FullMetalBitch> The owl hoots at Akemi. If owls could cuss, that would be it.
  848. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy feels an electricity running through her arm, as she grabs onto the axe. As if it's coursing through her. The storm in the picture starts to grow in strength.
  849. <SavanahHolland> Wendy grips the axe tighter, her arm shaking slightly from the feelings of electricity, she closes her eyes tightly, holding on tighter, not wanting anyone else to grab it, if it ended up in the picture...
  850. <FullMetalBitch> *Wendy! Roll... Brawn?
  851. <SavanahHolland> (Would close combat work? Probably not but curious XD)
  852. <FullMetalBitch> (Yes)
  853. <FullMetalBitch> (I WILL ALLOW IT)
  854. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+8
  855. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+8 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{8}
  856. <Uracilo> Lucette does as Akemi/Owl asks, and steps back from the bowl, turning to look at Wendy. She sees her struggling with the axe and sends her shadow over to help.
  857. <FullMetalBitch> (Holy shit, with the help~)
  858. <SavanahHolland> (Also all Wendy is doing is trying to keep the axe from someone taking it XD)
  859. <FullMetalBitch> (Oh, not lift it?)
  860. <FullMetalBitch> (...Yasure?)
  861. <FullMetalBitch> (*furiously deletes paragraph*)
  862. <SavanahHolland> (Then I'll motherfuckin lift it?)
  863. <SavanahHolland> (Idk XD)
  864. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy holds the Axe in place, though a few visible sparks run along the edge.
  865. <SavanahHolland> (Good with keepin it down for the moment)
  866. <FullMetalBitch> (Solid with me, and the people in the classes above you)
  867. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then turns to look at Lucette "The bowl, with the money, it's in the picture now too."
  868. <Kioku> ~Is it? How... how? ... Do they want the items from here back in there, in exchange for the man who was caught?~
  869. <Uracilo> "Wh-what does that mean?" she asks coming over and looking at the axe.
  870. <FullMetalBitch> *Akemi! Mental defence, unless you want to just talk to owl. He wants to chat.
  871. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+7 I REALLY DO want to just talk to owl... but I'm incapable of voluntary. :(
  872. <Uradice2> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+7 I REALLY DO want to just talk to owl... but I'm incapable of voluntary. :( --> [ 4d3=8 ]{7}
  873. <SavanahHolland> Wendy shakes her head "I don't know, but if the bowl is now in the mural, then the axe could end up there too.. And I don't think giving a axe to grey people in a temple is ever a good idea."
  874. <FullMetalBitch> Akemi just hears nicely, no intrusion, just an interpretation of the owl's spirit. "You should let the girl pay off the debt."
  875. <Kioku> ~Well, the jacket came back, didn't it?~
  876. <Kioku> Akemi jumps out of Lucette through her back. "The jacket came back when the bowl went in. Maybe that's how we get him out?"
  877. <Uracilo> Lucette traces the corn-like indentations at the edge of the blade. "M-maybe this axe is how you enter the mural? L-like, a key or... or an axe." she says, a little lamely.
  878. <FullMetalBitch> The bowl is still on the table.
  879. <FullMetalBitch> (It never left)
  880. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip, then giving the axe a grip "Should I try to lift it then...?"
  881. <FullMetalBitch> Lucette feels a spark as she traces the edge of the blade. A streak of lightning crosses the fields.
  882. <Kioku> (Akemi isn't blocking for Lucette since she's out now)
  883. <FullMetalBitch> "Just get them to pay the debt," Lucette hears once more. The owl fluttering over and landing next to the axe.
  884. <Kioku> Akemi frowns at the bowl, then looks back at the painting.
  885. <Uracilo> "D-do you happen to- to have a wallet on you, Wendy...?" she asks, blushing.
  886. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sighs, the notices how close the owl had gotten, she quickly pulls the axe away, trying to hold it in her hands.
  887. <Kioku> Akemi moves over to Lucette. "Why a wallet, again? Why..."
  888. <Uracilo> "I-I need to pay the debt..." she says, biting her lip. "I-I'll pay you back later..."
  889. <Kioku> "What debt, Lucette? Why won't you explain what that even means?" \Incomplete things like that just make you sound cra- oh. Not one to judge, am I?\
  890. <FullMetalBitch> (When you say pull the axe away...)
  891. * SolongStarbird has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  892. <SavanahHolland> (Pull the axe away from where the owl is next to it, holding it now)
  893. <FullMetalBitch> As Wendy pulls the axe out. Well, shit goes off. A few streaks of lighting spring from the edge of it. One almost hitting the owl causing it to fly off. A few hitting through the ceiling. In the picture, well, shit goes off worse. Lighting strikes widly and the storm raises in power, the wheat starting on fire from a lightning strike.
  894. <FullMetalBitch> "Can you stop that?" Lucette hears in the back of her mind.
  895. <SavanahHolland> Wendy holds the axe in her arm, staring at Akemi and the mural. "How do we stop it?"
  896. <FullMetalBitch> The electricity from the axe stops as Wendy stops moving it. The storm in the mural, how ever, is hitting a peak.
  897. <Uracilo> Lucette's shadow tries to wrestle the axe away from Wendy. "I-I don't know!"
  898. <FullMetalBitch> "You need to stop it, she's ruining the harvest." Lucette hears.
  899. <Uracilo> "W-Wendy! Give me the axe, I- I need to stop it!"
  900. <SavanahHolland> Wendy lets the shadow take it, though glancing to Lucette in slight fear "Why would the axe stop it!?!?!"
  901. <FullMetalBitch> "Now put it back," Lucette hears. "We can't have her destroying our home."
  902. <Uracilo> "N-no! I need to stop the axe." she says, matter-of-factly, as her shadow tries to put the axe back where Wendy found it.
  903. <Kioku> Akemi is looking more and more annoyed at being ignored by her friend. ... Supposed friend.
  904. <FullMetalBitch> The axe is returned to it's resting place. The storm in the mural starts to subside back to a casual rain.
  905. <Kioku> She's not quite sure whether to cry or lash out.
  906. <SavanahHolland> Wendy slowly walks up to Akemi, trying to tug on her arm "What do we do...?"
  907. * SolongStarbird (~SolongSta@synIRC-20417E41.carolina.res.rr.com) has joined
  908. <Kioku> Akemi glances away and grabs Wendy's arm in a hug to distract herself. "Wakaranai..."
  909. <Uracilo> "I-I don't know what debt, Akemi I..." she holds her head with her hands. "I'm so confused..."
  910. <FullMetalBitch> "Supergirl," Kelly says over her macbook. "Can I have my wallet back or are you not done paying off Kirkpatrick's debt?"
  911. <Uracilo> Lucette blushes, walking back to her side of the room with the empty wallet in hand. "I-I'll pay you back..."
  912. <Kioku> Akemi raises an eyebrow and turns slowly to face Kelly. "Kirkpatrick's debt? Well, you did say earlier that you're not supposed to help..."
  913. <SavanahHolland> Wendy starts breathing a little heavier, not knowing what to do, Lucette doesn't know what to do, Akemi doesn't know what to do. She then pulls Akemi into a farther hug "It's fine, it's fine, I can figure it out." her tone is extremely panicked,
  914. <Kioku> "I wonder just how much more you know~"
  915. <FullMetalBitch> Kelly reaches up and makes a zipping motion across her mouth, before laughing at her own humor.
  916. <Uracilo> Lucette hands the wallet over, bowing in apology. "I-i'm sorry..."
  917. <FullMetalBitch> She takes the wallet from Lucette and tucks it away, "you're doing great Supergirl! Last kids got shocked enough to put them out for a week."
  918. <Kioku> Akemi is a little surprised at the hug and the panicked tone. "Shh. It'll be okay. Do you know much about plants?"
  919. <Uracilo> Lucette whimpers, holding her hands to her chest. She hopes nothing like that will happen..."
  920. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks down, shuffling in place, stilling basically holding on to Akemi "I don't know that much.." she takes a sharp breath, trying to stay composed "W-why?"
  921. <FullMetalBitch> Kelly goes back to her typing, letting the kids go at it.
  922. <Kioku> Akemi points at the axe. "Corn." then at the bowl. "Sacrifice." Then at the cocoa plant. "Beans." Then just shrugs in an 'I don't know' gesture.
  923. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at the axe, then back at Akemi, letting her go for a second, then swiftly walking to the mural, looking for corn, or anything cocoa plant related.
  924. <FullMetalBitch> Wendy sees on the temple door steps, next to the doors are two imprints of a cocao plant and a corn plant.
  925. <Kioku> \We don't have any more money that I know of, since Lucette dumped the entire wallet into the bowl already...\
  926. <FullMetalBitch> "You should get some more money," Lucette hears, "ask your friends. Pitch in to pay it off."
  927. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then looks back to the group. "Theres imprints of cocao and corn on the door steps of this temple." She then thinks for a moment, looking to Lucette "Lucette, you talked about dept, what dept?"
  928. <Uracilo> "D-debt," she corrects her friend. "A-and it's not paid, still... we need more money..."
  929. <SavanahHolland> (I knew I spelt it wrong >-< recon my horrible spelling)
  930. <SavanahHolland> Wendy slowly puts her hand to her fannypack "How much..?"
  931. <FullMetalBitch> "Well," Lucette hears in the back of her mind and then a soft whisper.
  932. <Kioku> Akemi twitches slightly. \She wouldn't answer... then she told me she didn't know... why would she do that? D-does she hate me?\ You can hear a small sniffle as she tries to hide her face. \How much. That's exactly what I wanted to know too.\ "D-does it have to be money?"
  933. <Uracilo> "A-about... th-three fifty?" she mumbles, confused.
  934. <SavanahHolland> Wendy notices Akemi, then walking over to take her hand and give it a reasuring squeeze, "Don't worry" she says quietly, she then uses her other hand to dig out $350 bucks, wow.
  935. <FullMetalBitch> "Oh wow," Lucette hears, "I didn't think his friends actually had it."
  936. <Uracilo> "His friends?" Lucette asks in her mind and out loud.
  937. <FullMetalBitch> "Whatever kid, just pay it. You can have him back. Heck, I'll throw in the mask for the extra twenty bucks."
  938. <Kioku> Akemi squeezes Wendy's hand back, *much* too tightly.
  939. <Uracilo> "I-I think we'll get the teacher back if we pay that much money..." she bites her lip as she says. "I-I can pay you back Akemi..." Lucette promises, thinking of using all her savings.
  940. <SavanahHolland> (Akemi? o-o)
  941. <Uracilo> Wendy*
  942. <SavanahHolland> Wendy shakes her head, steping closer to Lucette, still holding on to Akemi's hand to comfort her, she hands Lucette the money in her hand, shaking her head "It's fine." She then steps back again, giving Akemi's arm a small subtle hug.
  943. <Uracilo> Lucette puts all the money in the bowl.

  946. <FullMetalBitch> There's another strike of lighting, hitting the same spot in the back of the room. In it's wake is a middle aged man who looks like he is more than frazzled. His skin is marked with red paint in intricate designs and there are remnants of rope on his wrists and ankles. "Fuck!" He screams as he stands up quickly and jolts around, "shit!"
  947. <FullMetalBitch> "Woo! Supergirl!" Kelly says as she closes her laptop and pushes it away in her bag.
  948. <SavanahHolland> Wendy is going to try to grab the man and keep him still
  949. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+8
  950. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+8 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{6}
  951. <Kioku> Akemi jumps, then wipes her face and stares at the sudden man.
  952. <FullMetalBitch> She manages, he doesn't try and move beyong trying to pull off the ropes and wipe the paint off. "Welcome back Doctor Kirkpatrick," Kelly says, "you're gonna be in the basement a while after this one."
  953. <FullMetalBitch> "Good work. Visit me sometime, you're good at scratches." Lucette hears in the back of her mind as the owl watches from his perch on the cage.
  954. <SavanahHolland> Wendy removes her knife from her fannypack, then cutting the ropes off his wrists and ankles "Keep calm."
  955. <FullMetalBitch> "Right, calm, right." He says as he lets her work. "Calm, right, calm. Shit."
  956. <Kioku> Akemi notices the knife, and gets a small hint of a smile. But only a hint.
  957. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then puts the knife away, putting a hand on his back.
  958. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+4 Liberation to keep you calm.
  959. <Uradice2> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+4 Liberation to keep you calm. --> [ 4d3=6 ]{2}
  960. <FullMetalBitch> Kelly packs up the camera and picks up her bags. "Well kids! You did great. The last few groups usually screwed it up. So I'm sort of proud. Oh and uh, write down how much you ended up spending and place it in my mailbox in the office. I'll get it reimbursed."
  961. <FullMetalBitch> The man still moves a little, rubbing his wrists. "Thanks kid," he says to her. The door opens and a guard looks in, giving Kirkpatrick a look.
  962. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip, then moving, or more stumbling back to look at Akemi "You alright..?"
  963. <FullMetalBitch> The guard escorts Doctor Kirkpatrick back, the other staying by the door to wait for more staff to come clean up the room.
  964. <Uracilo> "I-I... I'm so confused..." says Lucette, taking a seat on Kelly's vacant chair.
  965. <Kioku> Akemi shakes her head. "Can we go yet? I'm... I don't feel like going on this adventure anymore."
  966. <Kioku> She's rather pointedly avoiding looking at Lucette at the moment.
  967. <FullMetalBitch> "Ya sure! You guys will get the usual stipend for this. I'll be sure to ask for you three for the next one. It was super fun working with you." Kelly says happily as she waits by the door.
  968. <Kioku> \What if she hates me now? Did I do something wrong? What did I do? C-can I fix it?\
  969. <SavanahHolland> Wendy closes her eyes for a brief moment, then looking back to Akemi "Yeah.. Yeah we can go.." she then looks to Lucette, pulling Akemi slightly over to her, she leans down to looking at Lucette "it's alright, everythings fine now, we're about to go anyways."
  970. <FullMetalBitch> "Bet ya never had this much fun in a classroom? Well?" Kelly asks them as she checks her phone to respond to some texts about dinner plans.
  971. <Uracilo> "W-well... at least the owl was cute..."
  972. <Kioku> Akemi looks up at Kelly, pleadingly. "Will /you/ be my friend?"
  973. <FullMetalBitch> The owl hoots from across the room, as if he was listening.
  974. <Kioku> \Stability. Need stability.\
  975. <FullMetalBitch> "Of course, well. As much as you can with a student. You know, professional friendship."
  976. <FullMetalBitch> "Just keep being my little super hero and you've got my friendship!"
  977. <SavanahHolland> Wendy takes Akemi's hand, then Lucette's slowly, pulling them both to the door slowly, but keeping Akemi much closer "We should go..." she glances to Akemi, as if to ask her if there was anything she could do.
  978. <Kioku> Akemi smiles a little more, still not up to her usual standard, and follows out the door. "Thank you..."

  1039. <SolongStarbird> With him is a lady in a labcoat.

  1048. <SolongStarbird> She eyes the student ~I hope he has a strong mind....~
  1049. <SirGoldFish> Julian nods at Ju's presence. "Hey." He goes back to drinking his coke.
  1050. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith scurries onto the pad after a couple of minutes, running up to the pad out of breath and hugging Andrea to her chest. She didn't have time to change out of her paint splattered apron or paint splotched headscarf. "Am I too late?" She manages to squeak out as she tries to catch her breath. She is not a very athletic girl.
  1051. <SolongStarbird> "Alright... they told me a minimum of two... oh, three. No, you arrived just in time, so here we go. I am Dr. Jocelyn Sanders. I am essentially a anomaly psychologist... mind stuff. You are being sent to retrieve an anomalous artifact in Greenland."
  1052. <SirGoldFish> "Uh, can you be more specific, perhaps?"
  1053. <SolongStarbird> "I'm getting there. It is a black gem, dubbed the Grief Gem by my research team. We discovered it in a dave in Greenland. Our attempts to retrieve it have been less than successful, not because of rival factions, oh no, the Grief Gem defends itself. Your goal is to subdue it. Analysis concludes that it responds to touh by shutting down its defenses. This is what you are here for, to subdue and acquire it for us."
  1054. <SolongStarbird> *cave
  1055. <Uracilo> Ju sighs, taking his usual role during these annoying negotiations. "Are we getting any equipment...?" he asks, mocking a little hope.
  1056. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith smiles seeing that Kimmy is with them for the journey. She leans over to Julian and whispers to him, "nice to meet you. I am Lilith Al'Khoury."
  1057. <SolongStarbird> "The standard patch and brace... and each of you are to receive one experimental pill. My team designed it to help recover mental stability." ~Hopefully we ironed out those side-effects...~
  1058. <SirGoldFish> Julian nods. "Nice to meet you. My name is Julian Teller. I think I saw you this morning setting up posters and the such."
  1059. <SolongStarbird> "Take it to alleviate mental unwellness (recover 1 psyche)." Jocelyn is only allowing small pauses for socialization, talking over them if they go on for too long.
  1060. <FullMetalBitch> "Oh yes, sorry." Lilith says to him with a nod before turning to look up at the teacher. "Oh, uh, do we have to use it? I am already on medication and do not want to conflict it."
  1061. <SolongStarbird> She nods to the guards, and three of them set to work, bracing and patching each of them, and then handing each of them a silvery, fairly large, pill.
  1062. <SirGoldFish> Julian grimaces at the pill with a bit of skepticism.
  1063. <Uracilo> "If you don't want them, I could probably use them more than you two."
  1064. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith quickly pawns off the pill to Ju, not wanting it.
  1065. <SolongStarbird> "I'm feeling generous, and we want to further testing of these, so you each get an additional pill!" She hands the second pill to them personally this time. "If we don't encounter any observable issues or side-effects with the pill, you get to keep the unused pills. I know, I'm so generous."
  1066. <SirGoldFish> "So, do we like get water with the pill or do we have to swallow it dry?" He says with a bit snark in his voice.
  1067. <SolongStarbird> "If you brought water, fine, if not, you have saliva for that."
  1068. <SirGoldFish> Julian shrugs, tossing the pill in a rift in time and space. "Alright."
  1069. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith pawns the second pill off onto Ju as well.
  1070. <SolongStarbird> "Just a fair warning, the way the gem defends itself is by forming a rift in the mental and physical fabric of the universe, we call it a labrynth. The gem should be at the center of the 'labrynth.'"
  1071. <SolongStarbird> "At least we think... We at least know it is somewhere in the labrynth..."
  1072. <FullMetalBitch> "May we request tools? Like flashlights, or water bottles, or uh, rope."
  1073. <SolongStarbird> "We should have those on the jet... I think..." She looks to a guard, who hops on the plane, he sticks his head out a moment later and gives a thumbs up. "Yes we do."
  1074. <SolongStarbird> "You will be equipped with what you need."
  1075. <SirGoldFish> "/Fantastic,/ glad to see you people taking the utmost care for us."
  1076. <SolongStarbird> "Indeed." Dr. Sanders smiles. "Onto the jet now, the sooner the better."
  1077. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith heads to the jet, squeezing Andrea close to her chest as she makes her way on board.
  1078. <SirGoldFish> Julian dashes towards the jet. "I call shotgun!"
  1079. <SolongStarbird> ~Oh dear... I think I may have ended up with the mentally troubled students.....~ Jocelyn thinks to herself as she watches them pile onto the jet. ~But then again... aren't all kids?~
  1080. <SolongStarbird> The jet takes off as soon as they are all on board. "To Greenland we go!" Dr. Sanders says in a sing-song way.
  1081. <Uracilo> Ju takes a seat and straps in. He hasn't brought anything to mess with on the trip, so he sighs.
  1082. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith sits down and buckles her seat's strap. Setting Andrea in the seat next to her and buckling him in as well. "Kimmy," she says after settling in.
  1083. <SolongStarbird> (Now is the free socialize time. Tell me when you are done so we can land in Grennland.)
  1084. <Uracilo> "Hey..." answers Ju. "How are you doing?"
  1085. <FullMetalBitch> "Good! Better. I just want you to know, when we are out there. Feel free to, do your thing."
  1086. <Uracilo> "I will if we get into trouble, yes. Let's hope we do not."
  1087. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay!" Lilith says as she starts to look around, "I am going to start packing my backpack." She digs around the cabin and tries to get supplies.
  1088. <SolongStarbird> Though Jocelyn is trying to hide it, she is assessing the students... their aptitude.
  1089. <SirGoldFish> /Kimmy? He looks sort of like a dude.../ Julian pulls out his phone and starts tapping away at some game. "So, what should I know about my intrepid group members?"
  1090. * AFKRose27 is now known as Rose
  1091. * Rose is now known as Rose271
  1092. <Uracilo> "I'll help with any mental effects. It's my power. I'm not sure what you can do, however." Ju waits on his seat, knowing the trip will take some time. He'll prepare his pack when it's soon to land.
  1093. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith doesn't answer the question, spending her time tucking away water bottles and other sundries. She takes a few textbooks out and sets them aside to make room for more things.
  1094. <SirGoldFish> "I am a magician. I call upon the arcane arts to animate objects and well mess with things... I am also the happy owner of my own private pocket dimension."
  1095. <FullMetalBitch> "Make them come alive?" Lilith says glancing over. As if on cue, Andrea tilts his head over to look at him as well.
  1096. <SirGoldFish> "Yes, I make them come alive and they /generally/ obey my commands."
  1097. <SolongStarbird> ~Yes! Manipulate mental powers! He's perfect!~
  1098. <FullMetalBitch> "Oh, cool." Lilith says as she turns back away from him to finish packing away things. Andrea waves his paw at Julian from his buckled down spot.
  1099. <Uracilo> (I think we can continue now)
  1100. <SolongStarbird> (Okay)
  1101. <SirGoldFish> Julian pulls out a top hat from his pocket dimension and tips it at Andrea.
  1102. <SirGoldFish> (Now we can continue)
  1103. <SolongStarbird> The plane touches down in Greenland later. "Alright, we are here! Grab those supplies I was talking about, and get on out there."
  1104. <SolongStarbird> (Tell me what supplies you grab.)
  1105. <SirGoldFish> (What are the supplies, again?)
  1106. <FullMetalBitch> (Rope, flashlight, water bottles, off-brand snacks. A Glock 17 with two mags. A small first aid kit.
  1107. <SolongStarbird> 30 feet of rope, three canteens of water, two lanterns, and a lighter
  1108. <SolongStarbird> And what FMB listed
  1109. <SirGoldFish> Julian tries to take the rope and put it in his pocket dimension. Want me to roll for that?
  1110. <SolongStarbird> Sure.
  1111. <Uracilo> Ju sighs and takes his canteen and a lantern, plus the lighter. No weapons or protective gear, as usual.
  1112. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith pulls on her backpack and makes sure the straps are tight. She picks up Andrea and pulls him to her chest and hops out of the plane. She is immedietly happy she wore fleece-lined tights today and one of her fuzziest sweaters.
  1113. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+1-8
  1114. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+1-8 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{2}
  1115. <SolongStarbird> The portal cooperates and Julian stuffs the rope away into the dimension.
  1116. <Uracilo> Ju tightens his own set of straps across his torso, his coat the same as usual, but his pants having been changed for something longer after a few bad brushes with snow. He's protected from the unforgiving cold and from the straps digging into his skin.
  1117. <SirGoldFish> "There we go."
  1118. <Uracilo> Ju jumps out the open door onto the snow, landing in a crouch. He quickly walks over to where Lilith is standing.
  1119. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith has picked out some rope, a flashlights, a couple bottles of water, some snacks. And a loaded Glock-17 (in-holster, flashlight attachment) with two magazines.
  1120. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks back over to Kimmy and Julian, commenting to them as she adjusts her headscarf to try and keep some of the cold out. "I hope the cave is a little more warm.
  1121. <SirGoldFish> Julian looks at Lilith nervously as she picks up the glock before hopping out of the plane just behind Ju. /Oh boy./
  1122. <SolongStarbird> "Alright. You will find the entrance to the gem's labrynth somewhere in that cave." Dr. Sanders points to the icy maw in the land. "Now go, and get us that gem!"
  1123. <Uracilo> Ju walks into the cave, motioning for the other two to follow. "Don't forget to tell the rest if you see anything strange," he reminds them.
  1124. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith follows after Ju and glances over to Julian. "I like your tricks," she says with a smile as she falls in behind Ju. "You are like the tricksters at the market."
  1125. <SirGoldFish> "Alright, I'll make sure to say if I see the Bogey-man."
  1126. <SirGoldFish> "Uh, thanks Lilith, I think..."
  1127. <SirGoldFish> "what kind of tricksters? if you don't mind me asking."
  1128. <FullMetalBitch> "You know, the men who would make you watch them pull a flower from air. As their son would take your purse from you."
  1129. <SirGoldFish> He laughs. "Well, don't worry. I'll only take your money if you give it."
  1130. <SolongStarbird> Once they reach what seems to be the back of the cave, they enter and icy cavern, and there it is, a giant floating ball, easily 8 feet tall, and perfectly reflective and round... and flawless, like a ball made out of a mirror. The entrance to the labrynth.
  1131. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stays behind the rest of the group. She has taken the time to strap her holster to the waist of her skirt, tucking her sweater and shirt behind it so it's accessible. As well as pulling out the flashlight and keeping it on, and pointed in front of her.
  1132. <Uracilo> Ju grabs a nearby pebble and chucks it at the sphere, watching to see how it reacts.
  1133. <SolongStarbird> The pebble disappears into the floating ball, and ripples reverberate around the entire ball, as if Ju had thrown the pebble into a giant glob of lquid metal.
  1134. <Uracilo> "I guess we're supposed to jump in there..." he mutters, looking a little queasy.
  1135. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks around the cavern, looking to see if there are any guards. Or scientists. Or anyone monitoring this... thing.
  1136. <SirGoldFish> Julian throws a crushed can of coke at the ball.
  1137. <SolongStarbird> It has the same effect, perhaps making slightly bigger ripples. The can is gone too.
  1138. <SirGoldFish> Julian shrugs. "Shall we continue on our way?"
  1139. <SolongStarbird> Could you roll something along the lines of observance tehn Lilith?
  1140. <SolongStarbird> Brains?
  1141. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+4 braaaaains
  1142. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+4 braaaaains --> [ 4d3=9 ]{5}
  1143. <SolongStarbird> Lilith notices a well-concealed camera hidden beneath a rock.
  1144. <FullMetalBitch> "They do not have anyone in here to watch, but a camera? Is it healthy to be here?" Lilith says to the group as she digs around the room.
  1145. <SirGoldFish> "Hmm, it does not seem there is a lot to this room, shall we continue on?"
  1146. <SolongStarbird> Lilith's patch comes to life. "It is for scientific purposes. If the sphere does anything I want to see it. Carry on."
  1147. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith reaches up and touches the patch, or where it would be under her headscarf. She looks towards Julian and Kimmy on where to go from here.
  1148. <Uracilo> Ju walks towards the sphere and tries to put his gloved hand in it.
  1149. <Uracilo> through it*
  1150. <SolongStarbird> It readily accepts his hand, and it feels like sticking a hand in water, except that there is no wet feeling, and the inside of the sphere is warmer than the icy cave.
  1151. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith walks over next to Ju to watch.
  1152. <Uracilo> Ju pulls his hand back, hurrying to examine it.
  1153. <SolongStarbird> There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
  1154. <Uracilo> He sighs and steps into the sphere.
  1155. <SirGoldFish> (It's floating. I don't think you can step into the sphere?)
  1156. <SolongStarbird> Only a few inches off the ground.
  1157. <SolongStarbird> Like stepping up a stair.
  1158. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances at Julian after watching Ju go in, before walking back a bit and running full speed at the sphere. Pulling her legs up and squealing as she flies into it.
  1159. <SolongStarbird> (Forgot to add that.)
  1160. <SolongStarbird> Ju steps into a hallway, facing the dark red brick wall. The hallway runs to his left and his right. Lilith flies in after him, and almost faceplants into the wall.
  1161. <SirGoldFish> Julian sighs and walks into the sphere. "I swear to god if this kills me.."
  1162. <SolongStarbird> Julian joins the two. The hall is remarkably plain, other than the fog that allows them to see only 20 or so feet in front of them. The only question that remains is left or right?
  1163. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stumbles and skips on the ground, stopping herself before she hits the wall. She glances around quickly. She quickly reaches into her backpack and pulls out a note book and a pencil. She starts to sketch the layout of the hall they're in and writes "entrance" where they are.
  1164. <SirGoldFish> "Hmm, this is creepy... Should we tie the rope around us? So none of us can get taken away?"
  1165. <SolongStarbird> Julian's rope measures 30 feet, and Lilith's 75.
  1166. <FullMetalBitch> "Taken away?" Lilith says looking up at him curiously.
  1167. <Uracilo> Ju looks over Lilith's shoulder and nods. "A map is a good idea. We can use the rope if something strange appears, but it's not worth it right now. I'll restrict our movements."
  1168. <SirGoldFish> "Well, being taken away is the sort of thing that happens in fog..." He looks to Ju. "Fair enough, We probably wont need it."
  1169. <FullMetalBitch> "Let us just stay close and promise not to be seperated," Lilith says as she adjusts herself. Holding the notebook close and the pencil ready.
  1170. <SirGoldFish> He nods. "I say we take the right path if that's alright with you guys."
  1171. <Uracilo> "Let's go."
  1172. <Uracilo> Ju follows behind Julian, seeing as he decided on the path to take.
  1173. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith follows behind Ju, scratching on the pad as they go to map it out.
  1174. <SolongStarbird> As you progress down the perfectly straight foggy hallway, it gives off the feel of those indie horror games. The journey is monotonous until you reach a door at the end of the hallway.
  1175. <SolongStarbird> Come to think of it, there are no sources of light at all in the hallway... how has the place been dimly lit so far? Where are the light sources?
  1176. <SirGoldFish> "I'm gonna knock on the door before we walk in." He goes slowly to knock, giving plenty of opportunity for someone to stop him.
  1177. <SolongStarbird> There is a pause of about 5 seconds, and them a sigle thump is heard, it is hard to tell if the thump was something inside that hit the door or the floor...
  1178. <Uracilo> Ju turns on his flashlight and points it at the door. "Open it."
  1179. <SirGoldFish> Julian opens the door as asked.
  1180. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith shifts her notebook, her hand resting on the grip of her weapon.
  1181. <SolongStarbird> Opening the door, they come face-to face with a giant cuckoo clock. The hand is on the one. The extending arm seems to have gone back into the clock. The entending arm must have hit the door... The hands are moving much faster that they should....
  1182. <SirGoldFish> Julian looks almost disappointed. He goes to look around the room for anything of interest.
  1183. <SolongStarbird> The clock strikes two, and the extending arms pops back out twice. Instead of being tipped with a bird, the extending arm is tipped with a hand in the high 5 position. It appears very realistic. Quite startling.
  1184. <Uracilo> "Hug the wall, don't let it hit you," Ju says, pulling Lilith to the side.
  1185. <SolongStarbird> Is it a real hand? The hand goes back into the clock.
  1186. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith follows allow behind Ju, hugging the wall with him as they shuffle.
  1187. <SolongStarbird> (Keep door open or shut it?)
  1188. <SirGoldFish> (Roll to find anything in the room and if so can I add intuition?)
  1189. <SolongStarbird> After I give room description.
  1190. <SolongStarbird> The room is dimly lit with candles placed on a few tables. It is darker than the hall. The room is actually not very big... but the ceiling extends ridiculously high... Is there even a ceiling? The walls are cluttered with hunting plaques. The animal heads appear slightly off... as if the gless eyes are following you. Even more clocks are up against the wall, though they don't seem to be working.... There is another gian
  1191. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+7-8 Looking for stuff in the room.
  1192. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+7-8 Looking for stuff in the room. --> [ 4d3=10 ]{9}
  1193. <SirGoldFish> (If you don't think it should count that's 6 without intuition.)
  1194. <SolongStarbird> Looking at all of the clocks against the wall, Julian notices that one seems out of place. It is silver while every other clock is gold. The hands on the clock are tipped with six-point stars.
  1195. <SolongStarbird> It is decently small too...
  1196. <SirGoldFish> "Hey, look at this..." Julian tries to take the clock from the wall. /Please be a secret passage way.../
  1197. <SolongStarbird> There isn't a secret passageway... but all of the other clocks in the room subtley quiver for a second, and then go back to being still.
  1198. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith flips the page on her notebook and starts to taking notes on everything in the room. She pauses for a second as the passageway opens but keeps writing.
  1199. <Uracilo> Ju follows behind Julian, careful to stay out of the path of any clocks' doors.
  1200. <SirGoldFish> Julian attempts to turn the hands of the clock he's holding to midnight.
  1201. <SolongStarbird> There is no passageway, Lilith.
  1202. <FullMetalBitch> (Oops, sorry)
  1203. <SolongStarbird> The hands are firmly stuck in place, but when Julian turns the clock, the hands keep turning to point in a specific direction, like a compass. It points to the second big clock.
  1204. <SolongStarbird> (No problem)
  1205. <SirGoldFish> Julian goes to the second big clock and he tries to turn it to midnight. /That's the magic time in these things?/
  1206. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith continues to scribble notes. Sticking next to Ju and making sure to not get near any of the clocks.
  1207. <SolongStarbird> The hands continue to spin at their sped up pace, ignoring Julian's efforts to move them. There is a second door behind the second clock though... a way out and oward. The clock faces the door just like the first giant clock.
  1208. <SolongStarbird> *onward
  1209. <SolongStarbird> (Julian still have the small silver clock?)
  1210. <SirGoldFish> (Yup, he still has it.)
  1211. <SolongStarbird> (K... want to go out the second door?)
  1212. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3-8+1 Julian tries to take the second big clock and stuff it in his pocket dimension.
  1213. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3-8+1 Julian tries to take the second big clock and stuff it in his pocket dimension. --> [ 4d3=9 ]{2}
  1214. <SolongStarbird> There is no way you are going to fit the second big clock in your dimension, it is as tall as you are. You could possibly fit the small clock in though....
  1215. <SolongStarbird> The silver one.
  1216. <SirGoldFish> Julian continues to hold the silver clock in his hand as he goes goes through the door. "Lets go this way."
  1217. <Uracilo> "Have you found a door? Let's continue, then. We can't waste time, we don't know what this place could do to us."
  1218. <FullMetalBitch> "We should hurry," Lilith says as she follows the group.
  1219. <SolongStarbird> The second big clock strikes three and a similar hand-tipped arm pops out, aexcept that this hand grabs the silver closk and attempts to snatch it from Julian. Very startling. Very creepy. Roll brawn Julian.
  1220. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+1-8 Critfail
  1221. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+1-8 Critfail --> [ 4d3=9 ]{2}
  1222. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+2 MINE
  1223. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+2 MINE --> [ 4d3=8 ]{2}
  1224. <SolongStarbird> Julian and the clock wrestle over the clock for a good ten seconds, but Julian finally prevails and stumbles backwards out of the room with the clock. The hand goes back in and pops out two more times, grasping at the air violently each time.
  1225. <SolongStarbird> *over the silver clock
  1226. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith watches the struggle and comments to him as they finally start to move again. "Why?"
  1227. <SolongStarbird> Julian has managed to keep the silver clock. Judging by the way the giant clock tried to steal it back, the silver clock must be important... somehow...
  1228. <SolongStarbird> They are now once again in a hallway, but this hallway is much brighter. It looks like a school hallway. There are classrooms lining the hallway... it seems. The blue doors look fake....
  1229. <Uracilo> Ju tries one of the doors, to see if it leads to a classroom.
  1230. <SirGoldFish> Julian follows behind Ju.
  1231. <SolongStarbird> The door isn't a door... it is a paniting... nothing more than a giant wall decal... but it seemed so real....
  1232. <SirGoldFish> Julian looks to see where the silver clock is pointing.
  1233. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith continues to scribble as she keeps up with the group. Wondering if the hallway reminds her of any of her old schools.
  1234. <SolongStarbird> The clock is pointing down the hallway. The hallway seems to take a turn left farther up.
  1235. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+4 brains have i seen a hallway like this
  1236. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+4 brains have i seen a hallway like this --> [ 4d3=10 ]{6}
  1237. <SirGoldFish> "I guess we go down this way." He says unenthusiastically. pointing in the direction where clock is pointing.
  1238. <Uracilo> Ju sighs and starts walking down the hall. "Let's try to not stop anymore."
  1239. <SolongStarbird> The hallway is not exactly the same as the ones in Sunnybrook. It just seems like a generic school hallway... for a highschool maybe?
  1240. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith continues on with Ju, continueing to scribble and write.
  1241. <SolongStarbird> Once they take the left turn, the hallway extends down until it turns left again. There is a noticable difference this time though. On the right side of the hallway, every several doors, one is a color other than blue.
  1242. <SolongStarbird> The one closest to them is black, a few blue doors, then a white door, a few blue boors, a red door, a few more blue doors, and finally a green door, wwhich is almost at the other end of the hallway.
  1243. <SirGoldFish> "Guys wanna explore or do you just wanna keep going?"
  1244. <SolongStarbird> The silver clocks hand is waving back and forth the the direction of the right side of the hallway, as if to try pointing to all four doors at once.
  1245. <SirGoldFish> *explore one of the doors
  1246. <SirGoldFish> "Uh, looks like we're supposed to go through one of these doors, I think."
  1247. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith says as she writes more notes about what they're seeing and doing. Scribbling the entire time.
  1248. <SolongStarbird> Choose one then (in order from closest to farthest): Black, White, Red, Green
  1249. <Uracilo> "Did they tell us what color the gem is?" asks Ju, as he examies the doors closely, looking for details.
  1250. <FullMetalBitch> "Black, if I remember right."
  1251. <SirGoldFish> "Yeah, that sounds about right..." Julian goes toward the black door and knocks twice on it.
  1252. <FullMetalBitch> "I mean. It is called the 'Grief Gem', so it is that or red. Right?"
  1253. <SolongStarbird> There is no reply.
  1254. <SirGoldFish> Julian opens the black door to see what's inside.
  1255. <SolongStarbird> It looks like a door to the outside. This school must be by a cemetary though, because the arched entrance to rows of upright stones is right nearby.
  1256. <Uracilo> "That looks ominous... Let's check the other doors, first."
  1257. <SirGoldFish> "So, how about each of us check one of the doors?"
  1258. <FullMetalBitch> "Not safe, stick together."
  1259. <SolongStarbird> The clock's hand continues to wave, pointing to each of the four doors in turn.
  1260. <SirGoldFish> Julian nods. "Lets check the green one then."
  1261. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith follows him over there.
  1262. <SolongStarbird> (Green one is farthest away. The next closes t is the white door)
  1263. <SirGoldFish> Julian follows the ritual of knocking and then opening the door if there is no response.
  1264. <SolongStarbird> (So green door?)
  1265. <SirGoldFish> (Yes)
  1266. <SolongStarbird> The crew passes the white and red doors, going to the farthest end to check the green door.
  1267. <SolongStarbird> There is a second, and then a few knocks back, followed by muffled laughing.
  1268. <SolongStarbird> *second-long pause
  1269. <FullMetalBitch> Lillith tucks her pencil behind her ear (in her headscarf, really). Before settling her hand on her weapon.
  1270. <SirGoldFish> Julian refrains from opening the door. "Alright, there are demons or some shit in that one, I say we pick another."
  1271. <SolongStarbird> (Red and white doors remain unchecked)
  1272. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith says just wanting to get along.
  1273. <SirGoldFish> Julian goes towards the red one, following the same ritual of knocking and opening if there is no response.
  1274. <SolongStarbird> There is no response
  1275. <SirGoldFish> Julian opens it, hearing no response.
  1276. <SolongStarbird> A wave of hot air is released. There is a giant volcano whose peak reaches into the dark sky, rivulets of red lava trickling down to pool in slowly solidifying lakes. A winding path goes up towards the top of the volcano, and then wraps around, aupposedly to go down the other side.
  1277. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stops writing in her notebook for a minute to look though the door.
  1278. <SirGoldFish> Julian slams the door shut as quickly as he can, wide eyed. "Lets check the last door."
  1279. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith answers as she heads to the white door.
  1280. <Uracilo> "So... Black is a cemetary, and Red is... a volcano. Death and fire? Green must be earth or nature, maybe wind. No idea what white could be, however."
  1281. <SolongStarbird> The white door is back down the hallway the way you came, between the black and red doors.
  1282. <SirGoldFish> Julian just opens the white door without knocking to see what's inside.
  1283. <SolongStarbird> The floor just inside the door is made of clouds, and the sky is blue, perhaps a shade or two darker than the normal sky, but much more inviting looking than the other rooms, though what would be blow the clouds? One would have to step in to find out.
  1284. <SolongStarbird> *below
  1285. <SirGoldFish> Julian pulls out a pencil from space and throws it in the room to see if it falls through the clouds.
  1286. * FullMetalBitch glances back down the hallway to see if this is the end of the hallways. If the doors are the only way forward.
  1287. <FullMetalBitch> (shit sorry)
  1288. <FullMetalBitch> (lilith glances*)
  1289. <SolongStarbird> The pencil lands on the cloud, but does not bounce or make a sound. The same result would occur had the pencil be thrown on a pillow.
  1290. <SolongStarbird> The hallway makes another left turn down at the opposite end. It could be implied that this might lead them back to where they started.
  1291. <SolongStarbird> It would seem that the four doors are the way to go, especially since the silver clock approves.
  1292. <SirGoldFish> "So, either this or the cemetery. What do you two think?" He asks the group.
  1293. <FullMetalBitch> "It is best to face the darkness first" Lilith says as she looks at him.
  1294. <SirGoldFish> "So cemetery it is!" He says feigning excitement he makes his way to the black door unless someone stops him.
  1295. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith follows behind him, taking the time to put her notebook and pencil away and take Andrea back out.
  1296. <SolongStarbird> They return to the black door. It is once again closed, the way they left it.
  1297. <SirGoldFish> Julian goes through the cemetery. "So, why do you have a teddy bear with you? Is it part of your abilities or is there another reason?"
  1298. <FullMetalBitch> "He is my best friend," Lilith says as she follows him in. "His name is Andrea."
  1299. <SirGoldFish> Julian nods at Andrea. "I used to have a lion plushy... before my mom lit it on fire when I was 10."
  1300. <SolongStarbird> The door stands alone. One would expect it to be attached to a building, but no, it just tands there, nothing behind it. It should be physically imposible for anything to be back through the door, but there it stands, alone and defying reality.
  1301. <SolongStarbird> The graveyard is surreal in its uniformity. Almost all of the graves look exactly the same. The sky is dark and grey, with the occasional lightning, yet it makes no noise.
  1302. <FullMetalBitch> "That is awful," Lilith says to him. Nuzzling Andrea closer to her face at the thought of a stuffed animal getting hurt.
  1303. <SolongStarbird> There is one grave that stands out, not because it is slightly larger, but because it has a visitor. Seen from behind, it appears to be a person in a brown monk's robe, the hood is pulled over the head... is that a halo above its head?
  1304. <Uracilo> Ju walks behind the other two, and tries to use his power to read the person visiting the grave.
  1305. <SirGoldFish> Julian casually looks at the graves trying to read engravings as he continues on his way. "Yeah, my mom said I was too old for it" He says clearly a bit sour. He stops silent seeing the robbed figure.
  1306. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+4 Emotional Read to ascertain humanity.
  1307. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+4 Emotional Read to ascertain humanity. --> [ 4d3=6 ]{2}
  1308. <SolongStarbird> There is static... with the occasional wail. How odd... this must not be human.
  1309. <Uracilo> "Do either of you see an exit? Stay away from that thing, it's not human."
  1310. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stands by Julian as she watches the figure. Her mind searches around for the strings in the graveyard and starts to play with them, dancing in the ethereal realm to find some threads she can control.
  1311. <FullMetalBitch> "Just the door," Lilith mentions to Ju as she glances back to see if it is still there.
  1312. <SolongStarbird> The figure know they are there. It turns around. It is definitely not human.
  1313. <SolongStarbird> http://oi58.tinypic.com/2ak0i12.jpg
  1314. <SirGoldFish> Julian whispers. "Should we try to talk to it?"
  1315. <SirGoldFish> *whispers to the group
  1316. <Uracilo> Ju takes a step backwards, and readies himself. "I don't think that's a good idea..."
  1317. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances back at Ju, then back towards the creature. Hugging Andrea tighter as she stares at the creepy mask.
  1318. <SirGoldFish> "Well, he has a halo over his head, do you see any other options?"
  1319. <SolongStarbird> The creature opens its beak, and the static and wailing Ju heard is the sound that comes out. It begins to step towards them.
  1320. <SirGoldFish> "Okay, it's evil." Can Julian try to magic hand the halo away into his hand?
  1321. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith snatches a string of one of the headstones to see if it's even possible to pull it and throw it. (Is it maleable to her powers?)
  1322. <SirGoldFish> *(Can Julian try to magic hand the Halo away?)
  1323. <SolongStarbird> As it steps away, a red rose and a piece of paper are seen laying in front of the grave, the silver clock is pointing at the slightly larger grave.
  1324. <SolongStarbird> Yes to both.
  1325. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith grabs the strings and, always one to over react in a situation like this. She tries to rip the gravestone from the ground and fling it at the creature.
  1326. <SirGoldFish> roll 4d3+5-8 (OVERDRIVE!) I want that halo, it's shiny!
  1327. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+5-8 (OVERDRIVE!) I want that halo, it's shiny! --> [ 4d3=6 ]{3}
  1328. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+5 Pull the strings
  1329. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+5 Pull the strings --> [ 4d3=8 ]{5}
  1330. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6+6+6 the halo is a part of me
  1331. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6+6+6 the halo is a part of me --> [ 4d3=9 ]{19}
  1332. <SolongStarbird> One of the uniform grave stones is hoisted from the ground, ready to be thrown.
  1333. <SolongStarbird> The halo does not move.
  1334. <FullMetalBitch> (Do I need to do a seperate role to actually throw it?)
  1335. <SolongStarbird> No.
  1336. <FullMetalBitch> (Thanks babe!)
  1337. <SolongStarbird> Lilith chucks the gravestone at the white raven monk thing.
  1338. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6+6+6 not in my realm
  1339. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6+6+6 not in my realm --> [ 4d3=7 ]{17}
  1340. <SirGoldFish> (BRB, gonna go get water.)
  1341. <SolongStarbird> The moment the gravestone touches the thing, it disappears. The raven monk takes another step forward.
  1342. <FullMetalBitch> "Bye!" Lilith screams as she turns and starts running towards the door.
  1343. <Uracilo> Ju runs after her, helping her run if he overtakes her.
  1344. <SolongStarbird> http://i.imgur.com/zJcUnG3.jpg (once more if the previous url did not work)
  1345. <SolongStarbird> (Oh and was that overdrive health or psyche?)
  1346. <SirGoldFish> (Health)
  1347. <SolongStarbird> (K)
  1348. <SirGoldFish> Julian starts stepping trying to talk to the birdman. "Alright, hey, I know were invaders and all, but how about we just try to hash this out and talk things through!"
  1349. <SirGoldFish> "Sound good?" (Want me to roll to persuade?)
  1350. <SolongStarbird> If you wish.
  1351. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+8-8 Come on! You can trust me
  1352. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+8-8 Come on! You can trust me --> [ 4d3=8 ]{8}
  1353. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6+6+6
  1354. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6+6+6 --> [ 4d3=7 ]{17}
  1355. <SirGoldFish> Julian just runs away with the rest of the group, clearly this is not worth the trouble.
  1356. <SolongStarbird> The raven cocks its head for a second.
  1357. <SolongStarbird> As if to contemplate the message.
  1358. <SolongStarbird> It then opens its mouth and the static and wailing come once more, except the wailing forms comprehendable language this time.
  1359. <SolongStarbird> "I am sole in purpose. The gem stays here. You don't."
  1360. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith skids into the hallway, sliding back to push her back against the wall next to the doorway. She fights to catch her breath.
  1361. <SolongStarbird> The raven takes another step forward, as if priming itself to chase them.
  1362. <SolongStarbird> Agility rolls + any running skills please
  1363. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+3+4 Celerity to run
  1364. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3+4 Celerity to run --> [ 4d3=4 ]{3}
  1365. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+6-8 Yoinks, guys, lets get outta here!
  1366. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+6-8 Yoinks, guys, lets get outta here! --> [ 4d3=8 ]{6}
  1367. <SolongStarbird> I'l let Lilith be outside. She started running first.
  1368. <FullMetalBitch> (Totes)
  1369. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6-6 sole in purpose, but not the fastest
  1370. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6-6 sole in purpose, but not the fastest --> [ 4d3=7 ]{-1}
  1371. <SolongStarbird> Julian makes it without a problem.
  1372. <SolongStarbird> Ju (critfail) trips on the way out.
  1373. <SolongStarbird> The sentinel, though seemingly unstoppable, is still burdened by the robe it is wearing. Ju has time to get up and continue running out the door.
  1374. <SolongStarbird> All three make it out.
  1375. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith has taken her weapon out it's holster, her grip isn't perfect, but her Father taught her how to use one well enough. Though there is a slight shake.
  1376. <SolongStarbird> The silver clock has stopped wavering between all of the doors. It now points only to the black door. (At least for now.)
  1377. <SirGoldFish> "Lets try the cloud one." Julian eyes Lilith, still not liking the fact that she has a gun...
  1378. <SolongStarbird> The white door is a short walk away.
  1379. <FullMetalBitch> "What did it say to you?" Lilith says in between breaths.
  1380. <SirGoldFish> "I am sole in purpose. The gem stays here. You don't, or something like that."
  1381. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay, okay." Lilith says as she thinks about it, looking back towards the door.
  1382. <Uracilo> "We should choose a door with the most cover. Hide from it."
  1383. <Uracilo> "We have to test the green door. Maybe whatever's inside can keep it occupied?"
  1384. <FullMetalBitch> "Cover me!" She says in a hushed tone to them as she opens the door and slips back in and starts in a sprint towards the nearest cover. Hoping the creature isn't watching too closely.
  1385. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 Stealth
  1386. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 Stealth --> [ 4d3=7 ]{7}
  1387. <SolongStarbird> Lilith is successful. The sentinel does not see her.
  1388. * SolongStarbird is now known as Solong_will_haz_dinner_wait_pl
  1389. <Solong_will_haz_dinner_wait_pl> -brief pause-
  1390. * Solong_will_haz_dinner_wait_pl is now known as SolongStarbird
  1391. <SolongStarbird> -continue-
  1392. <SolongStarbird> Lilith can just make out the red of the rose a few rows of gravestones away, especially since it stands out from all of the dreary grey.
  1393. <Uracilo> Ju looks through the door's keyhole, using his power to fill in the details, trying to discern what's going on with the monster and Lilith.
  1394. <SirGoldFish> "What do you see?" He asks standing besides Ju.
  1395. <SolongStarbird> roll the power then
  1396. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : the power then --> error: malformed expression
  1397. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+3 Overload Cold Reading
  1398. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 Overload Cold Reading --> [ 4d3=8 ]{3}
  1399. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith sits behind one of the gravestones and looks for the one with the note and the rose on it. She holsters her weapon and takes a few breaths to calm herself.
  1400. <FullMetalBitch> (What do you see with your elf eyes lilith)
  1401. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 sneaking a peak
  1402. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 sneaking a peak --> [ 4d3=9 ]{9}
  1403. <SolongStarbird> (Overload heath or psyche?)
  1404. <SolongStarbird> Lilith is a supreme ninja... either that or the sentinel doesn't have good eyesight... She is now ducked under the gravestone right in front of the larger one.
  1405. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith decides to go for it, now or never. She takes one last breath before she makes a dash to go and grab the note and the rose.
  1406. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 theft that shit
  1407. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 theft that shit --> [ 4d3=8 ]{8}
  1408. <Uracilo> (Ju's overload is Psyche)
  1409. <SolongStarbird> Ju reads the sentinel. It is almighty in all but a few aspects, including speed and eyesight, however, its mental acuity is through the roof, meaning if you are close enough it can sense you. It also seems like touching it will do something undesirable.
  1410. <SolongStarbird> Lilith snatches the rose and note beneath it with no problem. She looks up to read the stone. "RIP baby Scarlet. Though you only graced us with your presence for a month, we will never forget you." The note says something similar, except it is accompanied by a picture of a crying stick figure.
  1411. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith starts to run back towards the entrance, carrying her loot.
  1412. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 sneak
  1413. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 sneak --> [ 4d3=7 ]{7}
  1414. <SolongStarbird> Do you get anywhere close to the sentinel?
  1415. <FullMetalBitch> (If she has to, to run towards the door)
  1416. <SolongStarbird> Lilith takes a slightly different route back to get to the door, closer to the sentinel.
  1417. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6+6+6 mind's eye
  1418. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6+6+6 mind's eye --> [ 4d3=6 ]{16}
  1419. <SolongStarbird> The sentinel detects Lilith, and begins to chase her.
  1420. <SolongStarbird> please roll for running away again please
  1421. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+4 run bitch
  1422. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+4 run bitch --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  1423. <Uracilo> Ju slams the door open and uses his power to boost her reactions. Let her run faster for a time.
  1424. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6-6+3 OVERDrive the slowness away
  1425. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6-6+3 OVERDrive the slowness away --> [ 4d3=11 ]{6}
  1426. <SolongStarbird> The sentinel catches up and takes a swing at Lilith. Roll agility dodgy thing please.
  1427. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+6 Overdrive Response Control
  1428. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+6 Overdrive Response Control --> [ 4d3=7 ]{5}
  1429. <SolongStarbird> (So Ju is trying to slow it? Psyche again?)
  1430. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+6 She feels faster with Ju's help
  1431. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+6 She feels faster with Ju's help --> [ 4d3=5 ]{3}
  1432. <SolongStarbird> (Ah.)
  1433. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6 arms are faster than legs
  1434. <Uradice2> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6 arms are faster than legs --> [ 4d3=8 ]{6}
  1435. <SolongStarbird> The sentinel's arm grazes Lilith, and she disappears. The rose and paper fall to the ground.
  1436. <Uracilo> Ju slams the door closed, grabs Julian and runs through the nearest door that isn't black.
  1437. * SavanahHolland1 (~SavanahHo@3C454E17:8403ED60:D8ADCA06:IP) has joined
  1438. <SirGoldFish> Julian pulls his arm away from Ju, but still runs with Ju.
  1439. <SolongStarbird> The clock still insists on pointing at the black door.
  1440. * SavanahHolland has quit (Ping timeout: 185 seconds)
  1441. * SavanahHolland1 is now known as SavanahHolland
  1442. <SirGoldFish> Julian really does not care what the clock says to do. He just continues following Ju. /Is she gone? No... no, there is no way./ Julian shakes his head, firming himself that she's not gone forever.
  1443. <SolongStarbird> Meanwhile, in the cold of the cave, Lilith awakens. Andrea is clutched tightly in her arms. As she lifts herself up, she finds that she has been laying on a gravestone, the one she threw at the sentinel. She looks around, and the giant mirrory orb is right where it has always been. Liltih feels a headache. (She has taken 2 psyche damage.) The sentinel ejected her from the labrynth....
  1444. <SolongStarbird> She will just have to deal with the mental damage and find a way to rejoin with Ju and Julian.
  1445. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith sits up on the gravestone and takes some time to herself before she even tries that again.
  1446. <SolongStarbird> Where do you go now Ju and Julian?
  1447. <Uracilo> Through nearest door that isn't black.
  1448. <SolongStarbird> The white door then.
  1449. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith eventually takes another running jump into the orb. Before using her hand drawn map to find a way back to the others.
  1450. <SolongStarbird> The clocks are all bonging when she goes through the clock room again. They must miss their silver buddy....
  1451. <SolongStarbird> (Have Julian and Ju gone through the white door yet?)
  1452. <Uracilo> Probably.
  1453. <SirGoldFish> (We said we were, so yeah.)
  1454. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith eventually scurries down the hall to look where the others went. Finding the white door open, she rejoins them.
  1455. <SolongStarbird> (Alright back together again. Surprised to see her alive guys?)
  1456. <Uracilo> Ju is hiding behind the floating door.
  1457. <Uracilo> He doesn't see her make it through, he's trying to catch his breath in case the monster follows.
  1458. <SirGoldFish> Julian is following Ju.
  1459. <SirGoldFish> So he does not see her either.
  1460. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith runs onto the clouds and stops about twenty feet from the door, looking around for her friends.
  1461. <SolongStarbird> The clouds float high above a gently swirling sea. Faces can be seen in the curents below though... very eerie. Spires of cloud reach up, making the place seems like a bunch of floating fluffy canyons.
  1462. <SirGoldFish> (Do we see Lilith?)
  1463. <SolongStarbird> Ju and Julian jump as they hear the sound of fluffy footprints.
  1464. <Uracilo> Ju just sits there, his mind filled with turmoil. This is all his fault, and there's no solution. His whole spiel the other day was a load of bullshit, who the fuck did he think he was, pretending he could help anyone.
  1465. <SolongStarbird> Who could it be? Is it that damn sentinel?
  1466. <SirGoldFish> Julian turns around to see what made the noise, his mind tensing with fear.
  1467. <SolongStarbird> (REDaCT footprints bit)
  1468. <SolongStarbird> (REDACT THEREDACT)
  1469. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances around the odd room, holding Andrea close.
  1470. <SolongStarbird> Julian sees Lilith, looking around at the cloudscape.
  1471. <SirGoldFish> Julian looks upon Lilith with fear and skepticism. /Can't be totally sure that this is her.../ "Lilith?" he says, his voice quivering.
  1472. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks back at him, a smile on her face "I am fine! It just sent be back out of the silver thing."
  1473. <Uracilo> Ju hears her voice and his power feeds him information. It then works to "cure" him of any emotional reaction. He stands, ready as ever.
  1474. <Uracilo> "Let's go, then." Ju emerges from his hiding spot and begins searching for an exit.
  1475. <SirGoldFish> He breaths a sigh of relief. "Alright, good to see you're okay, lets go."
  1476. <SolongStarbird> The sprawling exapnse of cloud spires lies before you, yet the clock points towards the door behind you.
  1477. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith steps over to the two of them, "okay." She falls in line to follow.
  1478. <Uracilo> "Are we sure the clock points to the exit? It could point at whatever that thing was."
  1479. <SirGoldFish> "I have no idea, but I really don't want to fight that bird thing again, unless you guys want to."
  1480. <FullMetalBitch> "Not really," Lilith says.
  1481. <SolongStarbird> (Forward then?)
  1482. <Uracilo> (Yes)
  1483. <SirGoldFish> (Yup)
  1484. <SolongStarbird> The clouds are large, and when they do come to an end, the gap beween one clound and the next is never more than two or so feet apart. Jumping across is scary though, since the sea of faces looms below.
  1485. <SolongStarbird> You continue walking through the forest of cloudy spires until...
  1486. <SolongStarbird> brains roll all three of you
  1487. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+3
  1488. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{4}
  1489. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+3
  1490. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{4}
  1491. <SirGoldFish> roll 4d3+4-8 add 3 if intuition helps.
  1492. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+4-8 add 3 if intuition helps. --> [ 4d3=5 ]{1}
  1493. <SolongStarbird> Ju and Lilith notice a figure looming on the next cloud over. No... it can't be.... can it? Is there more than one of them?
  1494. <FullMetalBitch> "Can we leave?" Lilith asks Ju quickly.
  1495. <Uracilo> Ju sighs. "Yes, I do think it's better that we do... Hopefully there isn't one of those things behind every door."
  1496. <SolongStarbird> As has been learned from previous experiemce, the sentinels can be snuck around easily, as long as you don't get too close.
  1497. <Uracilo> "We could try to dodge around it, without getting noticed..."
  1498. <FullMetalBitch> "I can try," Lilith says, "I just messed up last time."
  1499. <SolongStarbird> Very conveniently for you, there is a split in the path of the clouds. As long as you are discreet about it, so should be able to walk around the sentinel without an isue.
  1500. * FullMetalBitch scurries along.
  1501. <FullMetalBitch> (Lilith)
  1502. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 sneak
  1503. <Uradice2> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 sneak --> [ 4d3=7 ]{7}
  1504. <SolongStarbird> (If the other two are going to follow, I'll need some sort of roll as well.. agility?)
  1505. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3-8+3 He tries to sneak along with Lilith.
  1506. <Uradice2> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3-8+3 He tries to sneak along with Lilith. --> [ 4d3=8 ]{3}
  1507. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+3
  1508. <Uradice2> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=5 ]{0}
  1509. * Uradice2 is now known as Deadice
  1510. <SolongStarbird> Lilith and Julian have no issue, but Ju stumbles. The sentinel's head darts over to look at the cloud. Roll again Ju for the save.
  1511. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+3
  1512. <Deadice> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=7 ]{2}
  1513. <SolongStarbird> Ju awkwardly darts behind one of the cloud spires. The sentinel turns its head back and continues standing guard. It may be on slightly higher alert, but it does not truly notice them. Another white door can be seen ahead.
  1514. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith rushes as quickly as she can towards it, after seeing Ju is safe.
  1515. <Uracilo> Ju also sprints towards it.
  1516. <SirGoldFish> Julian follows the crowd and sprints with them.
  1517. <SolongStarbird> They open the door and they enter a circular room. Half of the room has walls. The four doors are there, but this time with no blue doors to seperate tehm. They are all close together. Every room would have led to this place. The other half has no wall, and looking over the ledge you would see that you are orbiting what appears to be the moon... only redder. A bloodmoon.
  1518. <SolongStarbird> On the wall-less side of the room a staircase extends up to a massive door. The stairs up to it have no guard rails. Be careful.
  1519. <Uracilo> "Okay, 'now' we use the rope."
  1520. <SolongStarbird> You wouldn't want to fall down into space and burn up in the atmosphere of the bloodmoon.
  1521. * FullMetalBitch nods and pulls the rope out to start tying off with the group.
  1522. <FullMetalBitch> (SORRY ! LILITH*)
  1523. <SolongStarbird> The silver clock lets out a tiny bong. The hand has syopped pointing at the way back and is now pointing at the massive door.
  1524. <SolongStarbird> *stopped
  1525. <SirGoldFish> Julian tries to pull the rope from his dimension.
  1526. <SolongStarbird> The star-tipped hand almost seems to quiver with anticipation.
  1527. <SolongStarbird> roll for that
  1528. <Deadice> SolongStarbird rolled : for that --> error: malformed expression
  1529. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+1-8
  1530. <Deadice> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+1-8 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{-1}
  1531. <Uracilo> (Lilith has rope already.)
  1532. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8 dueling realities
  1533. <Deadice> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8 dueling realities --> [ 4d3=5 ]{-3}
  1534. <SirGoldFish> Oh, he would not in that case, nvm.
  1535. <SirGoldFish> redact
  1536. <SolongStarbird> (OK.)
  1537. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith starts to tie the end of the length around her waist, then offers it to Ju.
  1538. <Uracilo> Ju does the same, leaving the end of the rope for Julian to tie to himself.
  1539. * SavanahHolland has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  1540. <SirGoldFish> Julian ties it around himself.
  1541. * SavanahHolland (~SavanahHo@synIRC-E92B0FE6.hsd1.tn.comcast.net) has joined
  1542. <SolongStarbird> The three carefully climb the steps and arrive at the door. The clock is shaking now, but not so much as to make it hard to hold. It just seems excited if that makes sense.
  1543. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith says with a breath as she watches the endless abyss. "Ready."
  1544. <SolongStarbird> In the massive stine door are three slots. The first is marked with the star of David, the second three tear drops, and the third a cross with the sun rising behind it.
  1545. <SolongStarbird> *stone
  1546. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith blinks a bit as she looks past the group to see three symbols, two of which she understands instantly.
  1547. <SirGoldFish> "I say we go through the tear drop."
  1548. <SolongStarbird> The slots are very small, as if item were meant to be placed in them.
  1549. <Uracilo> "Place the clock near the star sign. Does it fit?"
  1550. <SirGoldFish> Julian goes over to fit the clock in the star "I guess that makes sense."
  1551. <SolongStarbird> The clock slides into the slot perfectly. The hands spin around at incredible speeds, until they both stop at midnight. The little silver clock lets out twelve happy little bongs.
  1552. * FullMetalBitch nods her head with excitement, "good!"
  1553. <FullMetalBitch> (Lilith* FUCK)
  1554. <SolongStarbird> A clicking noise is heard, like a lock being released.
  1555. <Uracilo> Ju tries opening the door.
  1556. <SolongStarbird> The door doesn't budge. There must be more than one lock... there are three slots....
  1557. <Uracilo> Ju sighs. Figures. "What are we missing?"
  1558. <FullMetalBitch> "Tears and Islam," Lilith comments.
  1559. <SolongStarbird> The empty slots contain the symbols of three tears, and a cross with the sun rising behind it.
  1560. <FullMetalBitch> (Oh oops)
  1561. <FullMetalBitch> (That's not islam silly lilith, redact)
  1562. <SolongStarbird> (K)
  1563. <FullMetalBitch> "Tears and something," Lilith comments.
  1564. <Uracilo> "... So that means we have to go back?"
  1565. <SirGoldFish> Julian goes to sit against the door, slamming a fist against the door. "I guess we have to fucking more shit..."
  1566. <SolongStarbird> Tears.... where had they seen tears before?
  1567. <Uracilo> Ju drinks from his canteen.
  1568. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith tries to think, her mind trying to see if she can just find the threads of the lock for the door and pick it open that way.
  1569. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+5 threads
  1570. <Deadice> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+5 threads --> [ 4d3=7 ]{4}
  1571. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+1000 there is no mortal force that can get through the door without all three keys
  1572. <Deadice> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+1000 there is no mortal force that can get through the door without all three keys --> [ 4d3=10 ]{1002}
  1573. <SolongStarbird> Nothing. The door wont even let her abilities through.
  1574. <SirGoldFish> Julian is not pleased by this at all. "Well, we gave it the good ol' college try. What do you guys say we just go back to the jet and give up?"
  1575. <FullMetalBitch> "Well," Lilith says turning towards Ju. "I give up."
  1576. <SirGoldFish> Julian looks to Ju. "Wanna just leave?"
  1577. <Uracilo> "Let's give this one last try." Ju downs one of the pills, to clear his headache.
  1578. <SolongStarbird> The clock bongs in agreement. It must want them to keep going too.
  1579. <Uracilo> "We go into the door, and I look around. If we don't find the items, we'll run all the way back."
  1580. <SolongStarbird> (If you want we can continue towmorrow.)
  1581. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith nods."
  1582. <SirGoldFish> Julian just throws his arms up in frustration. "I guess."
  1583. <Uracilo> Ju head for the green door, the one they hadn't checked yet. He opens it, his power ready to analyze everything in his line of sight for appropriate symbolism.
  1584. <Uracilo> heads*
  1585. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith follows after, the rope making sure of that.
  1586. <SolongStarbird> When he opens the door a monkey reaches out, knocks on the open door, and laughs.
  1587. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+3 Overload Cold Reading
  1588. <Deadice> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 Overload Cold Reading --> [ 4d3=7 ]{2}
  1589. <SolongStarbird> Normally this would be cute, but the monkey has a human face.
  1590. <SirGoldFish> Julian follows along, frustrated.
  1591. <Uracilo> Ju grabs the monkey. "Does this look appropriately symbolic? Maybe we're meant to make it cry?"
  1592. <SolongStarbird> Ju's ability tells him that the room has large amounts of these face monkeys, three sentinels, and no outstanding source that would suggest a key being in this room.
  1593. <FullMetalBitch> "He iss weird looking," Lilith says.
  1594. <Uracilo> "I don't think there's anything useful here..."
  1595. <SirGoldFish> "Wanna take a monkey along with us?"
  1596. <FullMetalBitch> "No, creepy."
  1597. <Uracilo> "Let's just leave it."
  1598. <SirGoldFish> "Aww, but it's cool."
  1599. <SolongStarbird> The monkey has the face of a middle-aged man. It laughs again.
  1600. <SirGoldFish> Julian shrugs. "Ah, fine."
  1601. <Uracilo> Ju closes the door, rubbing his temple. He heads for the red door and repeats the same process.
  1602. <SolongStarbird> The monkey runs off and climbs back into on of the many trees in the room's incredible forest.
  1603. <SolongStarbird> There are many sentinels, but on the other side of the volcano, near the top is an interesting energy signature...
  1604. <SolongStarbird> Looking up the silhouette of a cross can be seen in the lava's light.
  1605. <Uracilo> "One of the items is here... Let's try to get it. There are a lot of monsters, though."
  1606. <SolongStarbird> It would be no problem, other than the lava, to go up there, since all of the sentinels are on the other side of the volcano.
  1607. <FullMetalBitch> "Want me to try? I'm quick."
  1608. <Uracilo> "Be careful."
  1609. <Uracilo> "Try to take it from afar with your power. Don't go near the lava."
  1610. <SirGoldFish> "I'm quick as well."
  1611. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith says as she takes off running.
  1612. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 sneak up the mountain
  1613. <Deadice> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 sneak up the mountain --> [ 4d3=9 ]{9}
  1614. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+5 strings snatch the item
  1615. <Deadice> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+5 strings snatch the item --> [ 4d3=8 ]{5}
  1616. <SirGoldFish> "You've done enough work, lemme tr-." He shrugs and lets her run off.
  1617. <SolongStarbird> Lilith is a lava resistant mountain goat. She makes it to the top with no issue.
  1618. <SolongStarbird> Hanging on the giant metal cross is an amulet with a picture of a sun carved into it. Lilith takes this and begins to head back down the mountain.
  1619. <FullMetalBitch> "Got it!" Lilith announces handing it off to Ju.
  1620. <SolongStarbird> Making it back down without issue, Lilith leaves the room with the other two.
  1621. <Uracilo> "Okay, next door." Ju opens the black door, and does the usual, popping a pill in his mouth.
  1622. <SolongStarbird> They are back in the circular room, the giant door at the top of the space stairs.
  1623. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+3 Overload Cold Reading
  1624. <Deadice> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 Overload Cold Reading --> [ 4d3=8 ]{3}
  1625. * Endorb is now known as OmnomnomOrb
  1626. <SolongStarbird> There are a few sentinels, and they all seem to be gathered around a specific spot. In that spot is the familiar energy signature.
  1627. <SolongStarbird> How inconvenient. You will have to find a way to lure them away it seems.
  1628. <Uracilo> "Whatever the item is, those things are crowding around it. Julian, can you make a distraction? Lilith can sneak in and grab it while you do."
  1629. <FullMetalBitch> "Works for me."
  1630. <SolongStarbird> lilith sneak roll
  1631. <SirGoldFish> "Hmm, you want me to run up?"
  1632. <Uracilo> "Could use that gun."
  1633. <SolongStarbird> julian roll either agility +run or cover fire
  1634. <Uracilo> "Run away from the door then fire it and hide. Sneak back here."
  1635. * FullMetalBitch offers the gun to Julian.
  1636. <FullMetalBitch> (SORRY FUCK LILITH)
  1637. <SolongStarbird> then roll 1 sneak and 1 run then
  1638. <SolongStarbird> julian
  1639. <SolongStarbird> and roll stealth lilith
  1640. <SirGoldFish> Julian takes the gun. "Alright." Julian tries to execute the plan to the best of his ability.
  1641. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+3 Sneak
  1642. <Deadice> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+3 Sneak --> [ 4d3=9 ]{12}
  1643. <SirGoldFish> 12-8
  1644. <SolongStarbird> 4
  1645. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 sneak
  1646. <Deadice> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 sneak --> [ 4d3=8 ]{8}
  1647. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+4 run
  1648. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+7-8 Running
  1649. <Deadice> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+4 run --> [ 4d3=9 ]{5}
  1650. <Deadice> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+7-8 Running --> [ 4d3=4 ]{3}
  1651. <SolongStarbird> The plan is executed perfectly. Lilith comes to find that the last key is the rose and note. The sentinels had returned it to baby Scarlet's grave and were paying respects it seems.
  1652. <SolongStarbird> The three return to the circular room, now in posession of the last two keys.
  1653. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith scurries out of the room with the items and looks back to see where the boy has gotten.
  1654. <SolongStarbird> They slam the black door shut.
  1655. <SirGoldFish> "Well that was easy."
  1656. <Uracilo> "Let's just do this..." Ju starts climbing the stairs again.
  1657. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith follows him.
  1658. <SirGoldFish> Julian follows. "So, what's the actual point of doing this?" He asks Ju.
  1659. <SolongStarbird> The last two slots are waiting to be filled at the top of the stairs.
  1660. <FullMetalBitch> "That gem thing."
  1661. <Uracilo> Ju practically shoves the two items into the holes.
  1662. <SolongStarbird> The tear slot accepts the rose and note, and the cross slot accepts the sun amulet. Two more clicks are heard.
  1663. * OmnomnomOrb is now known as Endorb
  1664. <Uracilo> Ju motions to the other two and settles to push the door alongside them.
  1665. <SolongStarbird> The heavy door, though it takes effort, swings open.
  1666. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith watches from behind, making sure to get the pistol back from Julian.
  1667. <SirGoldFish> Julian hesitantly returns the gun to Lilith.
  1668. <SolongStarbird> Behind it is what appears to be a throne room. At the end of the hall on a pedistal is the grief gem, guarded by two sentinels.
  1669. <FullMetalBitch> "Same plan?"
  1670. <SolongStarbird> Behind them, sitting on a throne, is the ghost of a frowning baby in a princess outfit.
  1671. <SolongStarbird> (them as in the gem and sentinels)
  1672. <Uracilo> (Have we been noticed? How do these things react to us?)
  1673. <SolongStarbird> The sentinels look up at them, and shift into a more protectine stance.
  1674. <SolongStarbird> *protective
  1675. <Uracilo> Ju steps forward. "We've come for the gem. Release it and you won't be harmed."
  1676. <SolongStarbird> One says in static wailing, "You will not have the gem." The other, "You will not harm princess Scarlet."
  1677. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks towards Ju, still toying her finger along the trigger of her gun.
  1678. <Uracilo> Ju pats her back once. "Distraction."
  1679. <Uracilo> He whispers, under his breath.
  1680. <FullMetalBitch> "Got it!"
  1681. <SolongStarbird> Who is doing what?
  1682. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith scurries off the side of the room, trying to duck behind anything she can to sneak around the room towards the pedestal.
  1683. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 sneak
  1684. <Deadice> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 sneak --> [ 4d3=9 ]{9}
  1685. <SirGoldFish> "Look, we're here to bring the gem to a safer place where no one will get it. We are only 3 teens who were able to penetrate your palace, so give it to us and we asure you to bring this kingdom into an era of prosper." Julian's trying to detract them.
  1686. <Uracilo> Ju runs directly at the sentinels and stops a hair from arm's reach. He jumps back to avoid all of their movements.
  1687. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6+6+6 aware
  1688. <Deadice> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6+6+6 aware --> [ 4d3=10 ]{20}
  1689. <SirGoldFish> Can julian roll to see if his speech destracted them?
  1690. <SolongStarbird> the sentinels shift to stand in Ju and Lilith's ways.
  1691. <SolongStarbird> If you want.
  1692. <SirGoldFish> roll 4d3+8-8 Detract or convince them.
  1693. <Deadice> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+8-8 Detract or convince them. --> [ 4d3=6 ]{6}
  1694. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith tries to find the strings holding the gem, to pull it over to her, over their heads.
  1695. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+7 OVERDRIIIIVE strings
  1696. <Deadice> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+7 OVERDRIIIIVE strings --> [ 4d3=8 ]{7}
  1697. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6+6+6 one in purpose
  1698. <Deadice> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6+6+6 one in purpose --> [ 4d3=8 ]{18}
  1699. <SolongStarbird> The sentiels will have none of Julian's babble.
  1700. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+6+6+6 difficult strings
  1701. <Deadice> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+6+6+6 difficult strings --> [ 4d3=8 ]{18}
  1702. <SolongStarbird> The gem shifts on the pedestal, now in the edge of it. The sentinels turn their attention to it.
  1703. <Uracilo> Ju circles the sentinels and the gem, mocking passes at taking the gem but backing up a second before the monsters can reach him.
  1704. <Uracilo> He moves closer to the princess.
  1705. <SirGoldFish> "Is there some sort of like challenge or something we can do? Prove our worthiness?"
  1706. <SolongStarbird> Lilith could try to reach from behind, or move it again.
  1707. <FullMetalBitch> "Fuck it!" Lilith mutters as she breaks into a sprint towards the pedastal, trying to use her history of theft from the markets back home to get past the guards and get the apple, er, gem and get away.
  1708. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 stealth grab
  1709. <Deadice> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 stealth grab --> [ 4d3=9 ]{9}
  1710. <SolongStarbird> One of the sentiels takes a step towards Ju, who is clearly a threat to the princess. Lilith takes advantage of both of the sentinels' diverted attentions and gets three fingers on the gem. It is all she needs.
  1711. <SolongStarbird> The gem's slight glow ceases, and the sentinels turn to piles of sand. The frowning baby princess is now smiling.
  1712. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith holds it in her hand and looks around, surprised to say the least.
  1713. <SolongStarbird> Soeaking as if they were her first words, she says, "Thank you." The world shrinks, and all goes dark.
  1714. <SolongStarbird> *Speaking
  1715. <SolongStarbird> The three wake up in the icy cavern. The mirror orb and ejected tombstone are gone.
  1716. <SolongStarbird> The grief gem lays between the three of them.
  1717. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith grabs it first, mvp.
  1718. <Uracilo> Ju lays there, letting the cold ease his headache.
  1719. <Uracilo> "I wonder if there's alcohol in the plane."
  1720. <SolongStarbird> All that is left to do is get out and give the gem to Dr. Sanders.
  1721. <FullMetalBitch> "Let us destroy it."
  1722. <SirGoldFish> "Look, I wanna get paid, Lilith."
  1723. <SolongStarbird> The patch pipes in. "No! We need it!" Jocelyn wails.
  1724. <SirGoldFish> "What the lady said."
  1725. <SolongStarbird> You can tell she has gotten herself worked up.
  1726. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith tosses it on the ground and takes out the pistol. She fires into it.
  1727. <Uracilo> Ju gets up and tries to stop her.
  1728. <SolongStarbird> No way will she see her long time goal be dashed feet before the finish line.
  1729. <SirGoldFish> Can Julian try to magic hand the gem into his pocket?
  1730. <SolongStarbird> The bullet ricochets off the gem and embeds itself into the cave wall.
  1731. <SolongStarbird> Yes. Magic hand.
  1732. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith is stopped after the first shot by Ju, "do you want to help these people?!"
  1733. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+5 OVERDRIVE. Julian tries to get the gem in his pocket and run!
  1734. <Deadice> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+5 OVERDRIVE. Julian tries to get the gem in his pocket and run! --> [ 4d3=6 ]{11}
  1735. <Uracilo> "Look, Lilith, calm down and think about this. It's a gem that literally causes grief. Just let them have it."
  1736. <SirGoldFish> 11-8
  1737. <Kioku> (-8)
  1738. <Uracilo> Roll 11-8
  1739. <Deadice> Uracilo rolled : 11-8 --> {3}
  1740. <SolongStarbird> Julian slips the gem into his pocket.
  1741. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks down as Ju says this, she trusts him more than most people. "Okay," she says and puts it away.
  1742. <SirGoldFish> Julian runs off to get the gem to the lady and get paid.
  1743. <Uracilo> "We can talk later, okay? Let's just get back to the school for now. I don't feel well at all."
  1744. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith says as she tries to take Kimmy's hand. "Let us get you back then to rest."
  1745. <SolongStarbird> The patch once again goes off. What is said is said almost through tears. "Please just bring it up... That gem will advance anomalous sciences in so many ways..,"
  1746. <Uracilo> Kimmy takes her hand and starts walking back to the jet.
  1747. <SolongStarbird> Once they get up top, Jocelyn snatches up the gem and legit hugs it.
  1748. <SirGoldFish> "Oh! Wow, really? Just gonna hug it, huh? Don't care about how we did or anything?"
  1749. <Uracilo> Ju doesn't feel like mentioning the possible effect it had on Lilith. They can hang onto the evil gem as much as they like.
  1750. <SolongStarbird> "Thank you so much. Let's get back immediately. The lab must study this immediately."
  1751. <SolongStarbird> And onto the jet and back they go.
  1752. <SirGoldFish> "Oh, still don't care about how we did, great..." He gets on the plane, clearly pissed.
  1753. <SolongStarbird> "You all are amazing. I'd kiss you all now were there no policy. " She is giddily hapoy.
  1754. <SolongStarbird> *happy
  1755. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith sits down in a chair and hugs Andrea close, hoping it was worth it to pay for a date with Wendy.
  1756. <SolongStarbird> Everyone take 500 moneys and 2 xp.
  1757. <SirGoldFish> Julian sits. "Sorry there, Lilith, about that back there..."

  1819. <Uracilo> The intercom comes to life, with a few moments of feedback that bring people’s hands to their ears. “Attention, students. Those who wish to participate in a mission and lend aid, please report to the administrative building, office 17 green, for briefing.”
  1820. <Kioku> Akemi raises an eyebrow. "Lend aid...?" she murmurs, tilting her head. "Sure. Why not?!" She skips to the defined destination with a giggle.
  1821. <Endorb> FonyX hears this announcement and shrugs "Wonder what this'll be like? either way, I could use the money" and heads over
  1822. <SolongStarbird> Val looks up. He pauses to consider. ~Well... the only thing stoppig me went on a run yesterday... and I do want to improve...~ He heads to the building, mentally preparing himself.
  1823. <SolongStarbird> *a few days ago
  1824. * Uralogs (~Rev@synIRC-754537EB.cab.prima.net.ar) has joined
  1825. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith scurries off towards the office, hugging Andrea to her chest the entire way. It might be just enough cash to finish her project for Wendy.
  1826. <Uracilo> You arrival to the office is swift. Only a few other students have clear knowledge of where the administrative building is, and even fewer how to navigate the hallways. A guard stands… guard, by the door when you arrive, and closes the door once you’ve all filed in. You hear a few groans and protests, seconds later; students who wanted in for the money being barred from entry.
  1827. <Uracilo> Within the office stand three people besides you: An armed guard with an opaque helmet, carrying some sort of flame-thrower-like contraption, with a tank on his or her back; a woman in sharp, well-ironed business attire with a folder under her arm; and a man in a full bodysuit with a clear plexiglass helmet and light armor breaking up the monotone colors.
  1828. <Uracilo> The woman steps forward, opening her folder and asking for your names. “For today’s mission, rather than being briefed -that means having the mission explained to you- by an employee of the Global Watch Unit -that is, the group that keeps this place running- your mission will be explained by our friend Gesundheit here. I know he looks a little strange, but don’t be afraid. He and his group are allies of the GWU,
  1829. <Uracilo> like… like friends, right? Won’t it be fun to help them out?”
  1830. <SolongStarbird> ~Wow...~ Val nods.
  1831. <Kioku> Akemi raises an eyebrow and her head tilts again, turning to look toward the indicated individual. \Hmmm....\
  1832. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith scoots off against a wall, watching the jackboots with some concern before she gives the woman her name. She then settles back into riding in the back seat and waiting for someone else to take the lead out of their intrepid group. Every fiber of her being tries to not even aknowledge Fonyx's existance.
  1833. * SavanahHolland1 (~SavanahHo@8C8B334C:2F40CBBD:D8ADCA06:IP) has joined
  1834. <FullMetalBitch> "I am Lilith Al'Khoury." She says with practiced formality.
  1835. * SavanahHolland has quit (Ping timeout: 182 seconds)
  1836. <SolongStarbird> "My name is Valentin Avdeev." Val follows.
  1837. <Endorb> "Well, whatever is needed. Call me FonyX"
  1838. <Kioku> "Akemi. Dozo yoroshiku."
  1839. <SolongStarbird> ~It confuses me... she said she does not like the missions... yet here she is once again....~
  1840. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy slowly walks into the room, not really trying to exactly be noticed, more so being quiet than anything else, having been late.
  1841. <Uracilo> Gesundheit looks a little stressed as he sees you come in, like he knew what was coming but couldn’t possibly be ready for it. He mutters a few choice words in what seems to be another language, a few bits and pieces catching your ear, ‘Scheiße’ being one of those. He eventually gets over whatever his problem is as the woman is done treating you like children. He extends a hand for each of you to shake in greetin
  1842. <Uracilo> g, the translucent visor letting you see his awkward smile. “A pleasure working with you,” he says slightly mechanically, with a thick german accent.
  1843. <SolongStarbird> ~This isn't good... I hope the three of them aren't angry for my accidental intrusion... and things were just starting to get better...~
  1844. <SolongStarbird> Val shakes away the thoughts, and then gives Geshundheit a firm, curt handshake.
  1845. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith offers her hand as a lady should, with a weak shake and a "it is nice to meet you." She doesn't stay too close to him and takes a few steps back, glancing over to the rest of the group as she waits.
  1846. <Kioku> Akemi smiles at the offered hand and takes it enthusiastically, nodding to the man since she already gave the rest of her greeting. She moves a couple of steps toward Lilith and/or Wendy afterward.
  1847. <Uracilo> Gesundheit looks to be in his thirties, a bit of a gruff look on his face, but no beard. He's got a toned body for the bodysuit to hug, the mark of some sort of training regimen.
  1848. <Endorb> FonyX matches his firmness in the shake "I hope you're not doing this solely for the sake of formality"
  1849. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy then walks over to Lilith and Akemi, somewhat saying behind them and looking around pensively.
  1850. <SolongStarbird> Val looks over at them briefly, with a look of both wariness and apology.
  1851. <Uracilo> Gesundheit clears his throat once, a little miffed at Wendy's rude behaviour, but waves it off as he begins to explain: "I am a member of... a group called Kindergarten. We stage what you call search and rescue operations, using my... gift, to find incidents where aid is needed."
  1852. <Endorb> ~Kindergarden. Way to make us feel like children~
  1853. <FullMetalBitch> "Kindergarten?" Lilith repeats with more than a bit of surprise at the name. She quickly covers her mouth and tries to hide a giggle at the name, she doesn't do that good of a job.
  1854. <SolongStarbird> ~Has a certain cleverness about it actaully... I like it.~
  1855. <Uracilo> He smiles ruedfully at the reactions ellicited by the name, clearly used to it. Behind him are six backpacks, one of them clearly bigger and heavier than the others. "Today, we will attend to one such incident, and as a show of... loyalty, to our alliance, the GWU offered your help. I hope it is no trouble."
  1856. <Endorb> "Well, at least it won't cause suspicion if a spy reads the name on a paper. Same principle as the tank"
  1857. <SolongStarbird> "Of course not. This is a mutually beneficial opportunity."
  1858. <Uracilo> He looks a little sternly at FonyX, with some disapproval. "There will be no talk of military operations in this mission. That is for the GWU to handle. Kindergarten was built for better things than war."
  1859. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith wonders if she should have brought her own backpack, and kneels down next to one of the backpacks to start putting the things she absolutely, positively, needs into the offered one. Important things like her makeup bag for quick touch ups, or pads just in case! She spends a bit shuffling things around before she pulls the new backpack on and leaves hers in the spot.
  1860. <Kioku> Akemi giggles at FonyX. \Well, that's true enough. Why is the French-named German taking offense though? Spies operate more outside of war than in it...\
  1861. <Endorb> "Well, that's not what I meant, but I understand your disapproval of war" ~was that a slip up? Did he just reveal our future?~
  1862. <SolongStarbird> "Which calls for a friendly name. I like it." Val nods.
  1863. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy walks a little forward, though she's still next to Akemi and Lilith, keeping close, she manages to look at the man for a second, then her eyes start traveling once more to the bag, seeeing Lilith move to it, Wendy then walks slowly over to one picking it up slowly and cautiously.
  1864. <Uracilo> Gesundheit nods in Lilith's direction. "These backpacks contain all the equipment you will need. Things like trash bags, pen and paper, food and water. I vill carry a bigger amount, so do not stray too far if it seems that the mission may go on too long. Hopefully, you will be back for dinner."
  1865. <Endorb> ~pens. Ha.~
  1866. <SolongStarbird> Val walk over to the packs and looks at them, and then to Geshundheit. "Thank you."
  1867. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith straightens up and shuffles next to Wendy as she watches the behemoth of a man. She raises her hand, as one would often do in a classroom or when there may or may not be a flamethrower nearby.
  1868. <Kioku> Akemi looks curiously at the backpacks, shrugs, and follow's Lilith and Wendy's example.
  1869. <Uracilo> "Now, I will contact one of my friends, Zeppelin, and she will take us to our destination within moments. Within the outer pocket of the backpacks there is a plastic bag, I want you to hold it between your hands until you are sure of footing, and at the site of the incident."
  1870. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy stands back up next to Lilith, giving a small smile to Akemi, she holds to backpack up with ease, then putting a small hopefully reasurring hand on Lilith's shoulder.
  1871. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith does as instructed and fiddles around to get the plastic bag and hold it between her hands. She watches Wendy to make sure can figure out this complicated task as well.
  1872. <Endorb> "So, Geshundheit, would you care to explain what we are looking for now?" FonyX grabs a bag and follows the man's instructions. He's a bit more formal and compliant than usual, for some reason...
  1873. <Kioku> Akemi hums in curiosity and takes out said plastic bag before putting the backpack on, leaning against Wendy slightly for a few moments. \We finally get to go on one of these together!\
  1874. <SolongStarbird> Val picks up a pack and put is over his shoulder. He takes out the bag and puts it between his hands.
  1875. <FullMetalBitch> "Can you pronounce your name much slower, so I may learn to speak it?" Lilith adds on to the lightning round of questioning as she waits for them to head out and get in a plane or something.
  1876. <SolongStarbird> *puts it
  1877. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy takes a small breath, removing her hand from Lilith and then taking out the plastic back, holding it in both hands with care and caution.
  1878. <Uracilo> "We are not looking for any 'thing'. We will attend to a recent incident I am aware of, and provide aid if needed. That is Kindergarten's method of operation."
  1879. <Uracilo> "My name is Gesund-heit. An exclamation that in this country is made in response to a sneeze. It is the noun for the adjective healthy, if I am well informed."
  1880. <SolongStarbird> ~I get the feeling that this mission will have a dichotomy in its participants....~ Val looks over to the three girls grouped together, and then to Fony and himself.
  1881. <Uracilo> "Now, please present your plastic bags."
  1882. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith repeats the word under her breath. Completely butchering the name and deciding to not address the man ever again. She holds up her hands craddling the bag.
  1883. <Kioku> \Present?\ Akemi shrugs and holds out her hands, bag between them.
  1884. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy bites her own lip softly, looking over to Lilith, then Akemi, and 'presents' the bag, she looks a little awkward doing it though.
  1885. <Endorb> FonyX presents his bag as well
  1886. <SolongStarbird> Val follows suit.
  1887. <Uracilo> "Okay, hold them tight." He presses his hand to the side of his helmet, and speaks a few words in german. Then turns to look at all of you once more. "We're off."
  1888. <SavanahHolland1> At those words she almost instictively clutches the bag with her fingers, looking over to Lilith wide eyed.
  1889. <Uracilo> Over the next few moments, you feel like you're on a rollercoaster with no real movement. Just the feeling of falling in a direction that isn't down. By the time you become capable to open your eyes, you are in an entirely different place. You are outside, near some kind of rocky, mountainous area, and it's not even light outside anymore. You begin to hear the sounds of the night, the creaking of wood and the chirping of insects
  1890. <Uracilo> as your disorientiation fades, a feeling of nausea settling in.
  1891. <Uracilo> capable of opening*
  1892. <Kioku> "... Sugoi." Akemi giggles and looks around, testing her footing and wavering slightly from the nausea.
  1893. <Endorb> "So, where have we teleported to? I'm guessing it's in Europe or Asia, based off the time of day. Maybe Africa, but not likely"
  1894. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks over to her, glancing her out of the corner of her eye. She gives her a warm reassuring smile as she looks at her. The trip is not good for her, the mixture of medication in her stomach, a horrible diet. She falls to her knees and wretches up the morning breakfast onto the ground in front of her.
  1895. <SolongStarbird> Val looks down at his bag. His hands are white from gripping it so hard.
  1896. <Kioku> Akemi's eyes widen at Lilith's reaction, and she hurries to her side.
  1897. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy quickly grabs to Akemi's arm, almost laughing if it wasn't for how fast that was, it was just like a roller coaster, except not expected, and twice the nausia, she then looks over to Lilith, leaning down next to her on the other side to pull back the girls hair.
  1898. <Uracilo> Gesundheit moves quickly to hold Lilith's hair away from her face, a concerned look on his face. "This is what the bag is for, little girl." he mumbles as he pats her on the back.
  1899. <Endorb> "You okay, Lilith?" FonyX doesn't approach her though, seeing Akemi do so
  1900. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith eventually empties her stomach and sits back up, wiping her mouth on her sweater's sleeve. "What the fuck was that?!"
  1901. <SolongStarbird> Val looks over to the girls. ~They wouldn't appreciate my help...~ He remains silent, but continues to look at them with a look of concern on his face.
  1902. <Endorb> "A violent teleportation" FonyX says to Lilith
  1903. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy opens her mouth slightly at Lilith's words, suprised but at the same time really doesn't completely understand it's meaning, only having heard it a few times in her life, and somewhat getting it from context each time.
  1904. <Uracilo> "That was... how you say, teleportation. We are now in another country entirely. I apologize for not warning you, but the tests we have performed show people cope with it best when unprepared."
  1905. <SolongStarbird> Val tries to rub his temples while still holdig on to the bag. "It was a novel experience...."
  1906. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith pulls herself up but still feels sick in the bottom of her stomach. Giving Wendy and Akemi quick reassurances before she drops the bag in her hands to the ground like it's a bomb.
  1907. <Endorb> "Eh, I've been through worse. In more ways than one." He thinks back to his stabbings of the week, and the stabbings from before then
  1908. <Kioku> Akemi takes a few deep breaths, away from Lilith's stomach contents, to fight back the nausea. She pats the girl's back gently and glances to Wendy.
  1909. <SolongStarbird> Val looks to Lilith, and then at his bag, finally understanding its purpose... All that was rising in his throat has gone back down though, so he goes to pocket the bag.
  1910. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy looks up to Akemi worriedly, more now so for Lilith's health, though she ends up taking Lilith's side closely, putting a hand on the girls shoulder.
  1911. <Uracilo> "If you do not feel like vomiting, you can put your bags back into your backpacks." He quickly pulls something else out of his own backpack, a fist-sized piece of technology with a small screen on it. "It seems we are somewhere in Spain. The location of the request for help should be nearby."
  1912. * EndPhone (~u931732@synIRC-5E864EDC.abhsia.telus.net) has joined
  1913. <SolongStarbird> Val turns to him and nods. "Alright then. Lead the way."
  1914. <Uracilo> "There are flashlights in your backpacks. Please use them to help me search." He taps his helmet twice, and his headlamp turns on.
  1915. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks towards Akemi, "can you pick my bag up? I do not want to touch it." She steps over to Wendy and takes her hand to stop the world from it's slight disorientation.
  1916. <SolongStarbird> Val takes his flashlight out.
  1917. <Kioku> Akemi folds up the bag and puts it away again. She takes the flashlight-using suggestion, even though her eyes are already adapting, and smiles to Lilith, nodding, then picking up the bag.
  1918. <EndPhone> FonyX grabs the flashlight and turns it on, quickly scanning the area
  1919. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy then uses her other hand, paying no mind to the flashlights, to produce a small simple white light, similar to a lantern more so, then taking Liluth had with her not on fire hand, giving a good squeeze and smiling to her, filled with half worry and half happiness.
  1920. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith squeezes Wendy's hand, her favorite flashlight in the world. "I love it when you do that," she says looking at the light.
  1921. <Uracilo> Wherever in Spain you are, the terrain is arid and steep hills keep you from seeing far in all directions.
  1922. <Uracilo> FonyX, roll perception.
  1923. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy smiles brighter, her worry going somewhere else, to be used for later, she then giggles softly "I'm glad.." she then rubs her thumb on the top part of Lilith's hand, still holding it tight.
  1924. <SolongStarbird> Val looks at Wendy's little hand light. ~Oh wait... I can do that too.~
  1925. * EndPhone has quit (Ping timeout: 182 seconds)
  1926. <SolongStarbird> Val's hand starts to glow a pinkish red, adding another supernatural lantern to the group's light source.
  1927. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith watches her step as she walks, one hand holding Wendy, her other arm bracing Andrea against her chest. "Does your Kindergarten help with refugees?" She asks the hulking man leading the group.
  1928. <Kioku> Akemi tosses her flashlight in her hand a couple of times, but lets Wendy's fire guide her vision for now instead of using the batteries. She follows the two other girls closely.
  1929. <Uracilo> "We make no distinction. We cannot. We help any child that asks for help, my power is to know where those children are."
  1930. <Uracilo> Val, roll perception
  1931. * EndPhone (~u931732@2C266212.96CFAC54.4FA8EC74.IP) has joined
  1932. <SolongStarbird> (that is brains, right?)
  1933. <FullMetalBitch> "Asks for help?" Lilith says continueing her train of thought, "help how?"
  1934. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy glances over to the pink light, mumbling about how a white light would and will work better, then turning her attention back to Lilith and Akemi with a smile.
  1935. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+3
  1936. <Uralogs> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=7 ]{2}
  1937. <EndPhone> roll 4d3-8+8
  1938. <Uralogs> EndPhone rolled : 4d3-8+8 --> [ 4d3=10 ]{10}
  1939. <Uracilo> "When a child asks for help, thinking no one is there to hear them, I do. There is not much else to it."
  1940. <SolongStarbird> "That is amazing..."
  1941. <Kioku> Akemi gasps at some realization and her eyes and smile both widen. "Wendy!" she whispers in the girl's ear, moving centimeters from it.
  1942. <Uracilo> FonyX, you scan the area with your flashlight, but it's your hearing that gives you an important detail. You hear tinkling of water, a small stream, nearby.
  1943. <Uracilo> the tinkling*
  1944. <Kioku> "Traveling the world~" She pulls back and giggles, spinning a couple of extra times beyond her usual. She finds her focus on the man leading them with a surprised look at what he said about his ability. \That really /is/ amazing...\
  1945. <EndPhone> "that's a very interesting power."
  1946. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy gives a strange look of suprise to Akemi, then looking curious at the girls actions "Yes?"
  1947. <EndPhone> "Does anybody else hear that water?"
  1948. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith keeps walking along with the group, harrasing the man. "You hear them, and your friend Zep-lynn does her black magic to get you to them?"
  1949. <SolongStarbird> Val cups his ear. "You must be very perceptive... or just hearing things.... probably the prior."
  1950. <Uracilo> Gesundheit perks up at the mention of water. "Do you know where it is? I heard running water, in the plead."
  1951. <EndPhone> "thanks for the vote of confidence"
  1952. <Uracilo> "I believe that is a way to put it, yes," he says to Lilith.
  1953. <SolongStarbird> "No problem."
  1954. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy puts her hand to her mouth supressing a giggle, but now just wearing a smile, at the idea of running water she then tries to listen for it closely.
  1955. <EndPhone> "hmm." FonyX walks back and forth and rotates a bit "I believe it's coming from that way"

  1970. <Uracilo> Gesundheit comes closer and asks for her backpack, hooking it to his larger one once it is offered. He then performs a one person lift, or as people that look for embarrassment call it: bridal style.
  1971. <Uracilo> He starts walking up the steep hill, with some trouble.
  1972. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith cuddles up with the man and holds him, and Andrea, close. Deciding the safe way up with an adult is much better of a choice than trying it herself.
  1973. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy thinks for a moment, then giving a nod with Lilith, still leading more so, then letting go of Lilith hand as she's carried up, in suprise, and embaressment, mumbling about how she could have done it, she's done it twice now after all.
  1974. <Uracilo> Everyone but Lilith, roll a skill or an attribute you think fits the situation. Tag the skill on your roll.
  1975. <Uracilo> For climbing the steep hill.
  1976. <SavanahHolland1> roll 4d3-8+8
  1977. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland1 rolled : 4d3-8+8 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{8}
  1978. <SolongStarbird> Roll 4d3-8+5 sprinting
  1979. <Uralogs> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+5 sprinting --> [ 4d3=4 ]{1}
  1980. <Kioku> Akemi's eyes widen. \Could she not walk on her own?\ Akemi looks to Wendy. "If I fall, you'll 'catch' me, right?"
  1981. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy smiles to Akemi, then forcefully grabs Val's hand, trying to pull him up.
  1982. <SolongStarbird> Val looks up to her, embarrassed at failing a task as simple as climbing a hill. "Thank you."
  1983. <Kioku> She smiles and... essentially treats the hill like a building.
  1984. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+6 Parkour!
  1985. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+6 Parkour! --> [ 4d3=8 ]{6}
  1986. <Uracilo> Val slips mid-way, and would've hit the ground pretty hard if not for Wendy's intervention. His right foot smacks the rocky wall badly, though, and it throbs with pain as they continue to trek onwards.
  1987. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy sighs, climbing up and pulling Val along with her, checking up on Akemi, seeing that she's doing fine, then looking up to the man holding Lilith "Are you alright?" she's more so talking to Lilith, but probably wasn't clear on the subject.
  1988. <SolongStarbird> Val lifts up his foot and rotates it a few times once they get to the top. "Rrr..." He growls as he tries to rotate the pain away. "Once again, thank you Wendy. I'm glad I didn't fall down that..."
  1989. <Uracilo> Once at the top of the hill, they can see the stream, and a small hut-like structure next to it. Its roof is strangely designed, like some kind of abstract art, and its windows are not the same shape, some being circular and some built to look like strange polygons.
  1990. <Uracilo> Gesundheit lowers Lilith to the ground, patting her on the head twice. "This must be the place. Look for a child."
  1991. <SavanahHolland1> "It's fine" she comments to Val under her breath, then swiftly walking, or more so running to Lilith to take the girls hand.
  1992. <Kioku> Akemi positively dashes off to start her hunt. No future-friend of hers is staying lost!
  1993. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith buries her face into Andrea as she is patted on the head. She shouldn't be embarresed for taking someone's help when it was offered, but the small act is enough to set her cheeks on fire. She takes Wendy's hand back as she runs over.
  1994. <SolongStarbird> Val stares slighlty enviously at their hands for a moment, and then returns to the task at hand.
  1995. <Uracilo> The stream is tiny in width, but runs forcefully. Even so, you could probably step over it without much trouble.
  1996. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy walks over to the stream, seeing the hut, and stopping next to the river, eyeing it, then Lilith again, looking on to the hut finally, pulling Lilith closer to it.
  1997. <Uracilo> A bit of a glow can be seen from the window, but no shadows painted by it; there doesn't seem to be anyone inside the hut. The door is built from mismatched wood, and the latch holding it closed is heavy, but it shouldn't pose much trouble to a skilled hand.
  1998. <SolongStarbird> Val steps over the stream cautiously, wary of it being some sort of trick... an anomalous stream or something.
  1999. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith sticks across the stream and doesn't head towards the hut immedietly. Eventually skipping over the stream with ease and landing on the otherside.
  2000. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy follows along, easily walking past the stream, sticking by Lilith's side.
  2001. <Uracilo> Gesundheit follows, stopping on the other side to retrieve a notepad and pen and taking some notes.
  2002. <Uracilo> "Please look around. The child shouldn't be far from here." He looks at the strange building, confused.
  2003. <Kioku> Akemi hurries to a window of the hut, trying to glance in.
  2004. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stands awkwardly in place, watching the rest of the group and wanting no part of getting near the oddly out of place hut. Is there ever a footpath to where they are?
  2005. <SolongStarbird> "Might they be in there, just huddled in the corner or something?... Do you see anything Akemi?"
  2006. <Kioku> Akemi gestures to the water. "They might have fallen in, we should check downstream."
  2007. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy glancing to Lilith, wanting to pull her along but not force her, more so nudging her softly.
  2008. <Kioku> She's never seemed so... lucid, before.
  2009. <Uracilo> The hut is small, smaller than your room at the dorm. There is a desk right against the windowsill inside, and some comicbooks on top. There are also a few chairs and a small wood stove. You can't see the floor in the darkness.
  2010. <Kioku> \Where's the glow coming from... and why doesn't it illuminate the floor?\
  2011. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith gives Wendy a look of dissaproval at the nudging, commenting to her. "I would like to stay here for a moment to catch my breath. You may look into the shack, I will just be over here."
  2012. <SolongStarbird> "Alright then... If you go and check the stream... I could find a way into this hut... The question is what would be the best way?///"
  2013. <Uracilo> The stream is powerful, but it couldn't possibly drag anyone bigger than a babe, the depth is that of a bucket.
  2014. <SolongStarbird> *way?..."
  2015. <Uracilo> The glow seems to be coming from the wall the window is set in. You can't see the source from where you are.
  2016. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy sighs, giving Lilith a small peck on the cheek, then letting the girls hand go to look at the house, looking to Akemi "I could try busting the door down..?"
  2017. <Uracilo> The door is actually bigger than the frame, meaning to bust it down you'd have to break it in several pieces.
  2018. <SolongStarbird> Val shines the flashlight through the window, hoping to pierce the darkness inside.
  2019. <Kioku> Akemi leans away from Val, jumping over to Wendy and looking at the door with her.
  2020. <Uracilo> Val, you see a collection of muddy clothes on the floor inside, and muddy tracks that lead to the door.
  2021. <SolongStarbird> "Well... someone was in here... was..."
  2022. <Uracilo> You can't tell if they're going in or out of the hut.
  2023. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy takes a small step back from the door, taking a stance "I'm busting it down, any objections..?" She half laughs.
  2024. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith blushes as she gets a quick peck on the cheek. She watches her go, then switches her glance over. She watches their guardian with about as much curiosity as the group has for the shack. Wondering why he is content to let them play a game of detective.
  2025. <Uracilo> There is also a closet set into the wall, but it is hard to tell. Only the handle of the door protudes in any way.
  2026. <SolongStarbird> "At least I think... not sure if those are in tracks... or out tracks..."
  2027. <SolongStarbird> Val looks to Wendy. "There is no one in the way. Do your thing."
  2028. <Uracilo> Gesundheit seems to be having a discussion in german with whoever is on the other side of his helmet's radio.
  2029. <SavanahHolland1> roll 4d3-8+8
  2030. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland1 rolled : 4d3-8+8 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{9}
  2031. <Kioku> Akemi stands back a little to watch Wendy at work.
  2032. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy quickly tries to kick through the door, all in one shot, hoping she doesn't break through the wood, and the latches give way.
  2033. <FullMetalBitch> "Who are you talking to?" Lilith says as she walks over closer to Gesundheit. She holds Andrea to her chest, face into her chest, as if the poor bear might be scared of being in a forest in the dark.
  2034. <Uracilo> The door shakes, but the boards it's made out of are too thick to break just like that. The heavy latch, however, is disturbed, and the whole lock falls to the floor, the outside handle falling as well.
  2035. <Uracilo> The door is left ajar, a hole in place of the handle.
  2036. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy stumbles back slightly, letting out a breathly laugh, then entering.
  2037. <EndPhone> "well, it almost worked. now it can open from the inside, at least" FonyX comments on the door breaking
  2038. <SolongStarbird> "Could Lilith open it from the inside?"
  2039. <Uracilo> Gesundheit stops talking for a second, then says a few words in german and taps the side of his helmet. "Zeppelin. I was discussing with her the reason for our inaccurate arrival. It is not important. Do you need anything, miss?"
  2040. <FullMetalBitch> "Huh?" Lilith says looking over from her interrogation and hearing her name.
  2041. <SolongStarbird> "Lilith, could you possibly open the door from the inside with your abilities?"
  2042. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith says as she looks over at the door and easily plucks the threads to swing it open for them.
  2043. <Uracilo> You hear some echoing noise after the crash of the lock on the floor, but that can't be right, the hut is too small.
  2044. <SolongStarbird> "Alright! Thanks Miss Lilith! Now let's get alook inside that closet."
  2045. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy sighs, entering in the room and walking to the desk, seeing the comic books stay she looks to it with slight glee.
  2046. <EndPhone> "Vased off the sound, there's a secret entrance to something around here" FonyX says as he enters, looking for any sign of concealed basements
  2047. <SolongStarbird> Val once again sets his arm aglow, letting the pinkish red light illuminate the hut.
  2048. <FullMetalBitch> Turning back towards the man, she asks him "are those nicknames?" She tries to shake her head a little and stop looking at the ethereal threads around the forest clearing. The bit of activity muddling her a bit but she snaps back quickly. "Is it just the two of you?"
  2049. <Uracilo> There is no concealed basement, though you can see there's a big of a carpet over the floor. You check under it, but find nothing.
  2050. <Kioku> Akemi moves up to Wendy, sticking close to her, just in case.
  2051. <SolongStarbird> Val goes to open the closet.
  2052. <Uracilo> "No, no," he denies, trying to explain. "My real name is Marcell, and Zeppelin is also an alias. There are more of us, yes, but most of them are on missions right now."
  2053. <Uracilo> Val, as you go to open the closet, the door opens outwards at the same time, smacking your hand out of the way. You can now see what is inside, and it is hard to understand.
  2054. <FullMetalBitch> "If I were to plead for your help, to save me from this school. Would you do it?" Lilith asks him in her series of hilariously wild in implication questions.
  2055. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy lets out a giggle, despite the creepy surroundings, picking up a comic book for Akemi to see, then moving to see Val open to closet.
  2056. <Uracilo> A child stands right in front of you, his hand pushing the door from the inside. Behind him is a room much bigger than the hut should be, its walls and roof tilted and uneven. There are at least four beds in the room that looks like the inside of a closet, and a few lockers as well.
  2057. <Kioku> Akemi smiles and takes Wendy's arm, then looks over to the closet. \It's bigger on the inside. Thank you mum for making me watch that show.\
  2058. <EndPhone> "Darn, if there had been another second I would have proposed that. Darn it. Well, at least we found Narnia"
  2059. <SolongStarbird> Val jumps back and shakes his hand. "Woah!"
  2060. <Uracilo> Gesundheit looks at Lilith with pity in his eyes, but shakes his head. "I am afraid that I cannot take you away from the GWU without their permission, little girl. I have no power over their bureaucracy. If you wish me to, I will look for a way, but there is a mission we should attend to, right now."
  2061. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy's face scrunches up in worry, putting the comic books down and swiftly moving to the child, almost kneeling down next to him, "Are you alright?" she then checks his forehead with her bare hand.
  2062. <Uracilo> The little boy can't be over twelve years old. He turns his head to look at the lock on the floor, and at all the people crowding the hut in turn. He freaks out, throwing a punch at Wendy when she moves towards him.
  2063. <FullMetalBitch> "You should look, for all of us." Lilith says to him as she turns in place and heads off to the hut. She's been more than a minute without Wendy and needs to check on her. She stays just outside of the hut, not wanting to leave Gesundheit alone.
  2064. <Uracilo> Wendy, roll defense. I'd say Brawn Close Combat is good.
  2065. <SavanahHolland1> roll 4d3-8+8 Brawna and close combat
  2066. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland1 rolled : 4d3-8+8 Brawna and close combat --> [ 4d3=10 ]{10}
  2067. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+6 Espartaco
  2068. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+6 Espartaco --> [ 4d3=7 ]{5}
  2069. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy grabs his hand before he can even throw a punch, she says slowly "Calm down"
  2070. <SolongStarbird> "Woah... steady... we are here to help you." Val says to the child.
  2071. <Uracilo> Wendy easily avoids the first swing and grabs onto the little kid's arm before he can throw another punch. Gesundheit runs into the hut after Lilith makes her way in, the child blocked from his view by the closet door.
  2072. <Kioku> Akemi's eyes widen and she holds out her hand to the boy, pushing trust in her onto him very gently. "Odayaka, kudasai."
  2073. <SavanahHolland1> roll 4d3-8+4 Liberations, using it to calm this little boy
  2074. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland1 rolled : 4d3-8+4 Liberations, using it to calm this little boy --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  2075. <FullMetalBitch> (Lilith never went in~ Rude dude~)
  2076. <Uracilo> "Suéltame, ladrón!" screams the little boy. struggling until Wendy forces calm into him. He falls a little slack in her grip.
  2077. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy sighs, then taking the boy in her arms, holding him like a a baby and standing up again.
  2078. <SolongStarbird> "Anyone know what dialect that is?" Val asks. ~It isn't one that I understand...~
  2079. <Uracilo> Gesundheit moves further inside, having to walk around people in the crowded room. He looks at Wendy holding the pacified boy and past her at the room inside. "This is strange."
  2080. <FullMetalBitch> "Life is strange," Lilith echoes after his comment. Standing 'guard' at the door and glancing out back at the forest.
  2081. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy shakes her head, making sure the small boy doesn't fall out of her arms, then turning around and facing everyone else.
  2082. <Endorb> "So, should we go in?"
  2083. <SolongStarbird> "Is it French... or something along those lines?... Oh wait... Aren't we in Spain? Does anyone here know Spanish?"
  2084. <Uracilo> The little boy renews his struggles after a few seconds, much less aggressive but still annoying. he shouts something in spanish, most likely demanding his liberation. He mentions a few words that seem out of place: Something that sounds like canary and a word you can't make out.
  2085. <Kioku> Akemi lenas toward Wendy, smiling at how she handled the boy.
  2086. <Uracilo> Gesundheit pulls out a phone and hands it to Val. "Can you use the google translate?"
  2087. <Kioku> Akemi pats the boy on the shoulder. "Please don't worry... we're here to help you."
  2088. * EndPhone has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  2089. <SolongStarbird> I believe so.... Does this thing have voice recognition?" Val accepts the phone. "It would be much more accurate of he said something into a mic instead of me botching all of the spelling."
  2090. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy keeps her hold on the boy strong, mumbling for him to stay calm, letting her power flow into him like a stream of water, warmth should be pushing over him, enough to keep calm for so more now.
  2091. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith eventually frees her flashlight from her backpack and takes a few steps away from the door. She shines it around the trees around the hut and keeps a lazy watch of the forest around them as they deal with the child. Andrea hangs limp in her arm against her leg. She starts to sing to herself the lyrics to some very mediocre indie rock from back in Jordan.
  2092. <Uracilo> "It does, just hold it close to him." Once Val does, the application starts spitting out translations like: "Let me go, I must help brother chameleon."
  2093. <SolongStarbird> "Brother chameleon?"
  2094. <SolongStarbird> Val repeats the statement in Spanish to the kid, using Translate as a guide.
  2095. <SolongStarbird> *the question
  2096. <Uracilo> Lilith is the first to see the disturbance: A giant white wing sprouts from behind the trees, beautiful to look at, and slams down behind them once more, sending out tremors than the whole group feels.
  2097. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy looks down to the boy, then to Val, waiting for the boy to respond, she shakes slightly from the disturbance, holding on tight and taking on a stance to keep her ground. "What was that?"
  2098. <FullMetalBitch> "Is that a Malak?" Lilith says to herself before it slams down and sends tremors. She quickly shouts out, "there is something out here!"
  2099. <Uracilo> The child seems to be angry at Val, like he did something nasty. "Not chameleon" the application translates after his shout. "Chameleon" it repeats, but you can clearly tell there's an "R" in what he's saying that the application isn't grasping.
  2100. <Kioku> Akemi turns sharply toward Lilith's voice, and jumps out the door to check on Lilith.
  2101. <FullMetalBitch> Like any smart, reserved, and mentally well adjusted girl. Lilith starts to run towards the wing, as one would do when they think they've glimpsed an angel. Hoping over the stream with ease as she heads to where she saw it.
  2102. <Endorb> "Um... I don't think so? I assume Malak means angel, anyways."
  2103. <SolongStarbird> "Okay..." Val is startled by the tremors. "What was that?"
  2104. <Uracilo> Gesundheit rushes out of the hut, and the child fight Wendy's hold on him, the tremor snapping him out of the stupor she put him in.
  2105. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy hears Lilith's voice, then handing the boy slowly to Val, she running quickly to Lilith's side, out of breath, almost standing in front of her "What happened?"
  2106. <Endorb> "Well, I'll go with Lilith to check it out" FonyX runs after her
  2107. <Uracilo> Lilith, roll something to get there without making much noise, if you want that.
  2108. <SolongStarbird> Val goes into the translate box and tries to type in an r were he thought he heard it in the kids speech. "I wonder how that will change the translation..." Val says as he presses enter.
  2109. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy quickly follows along Lilithg, staying close behind the running girl.
  2110. <Uracilo> Otherwise, just roll agility.
  2111. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 stealth
  2112. <Uralogs> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 stealth --> [ 4d3=6 ]{6}
  2113. <Uracilo> Val, you don't think the word "Carameleon" makes much sense, but it's closer.
  2114. <SavanahHolland1> roll 4d3-8+5 Wendy manouvers around Lilith, following her every move, trying to stick as close as possible.
  2115. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland1 rolled : 4d3-8+5 Wendy manouvers around Lilith, following her every move, trying to stick as close as possible. --> [ 4d3=10 ]{7}
  2116. <SolongStarbird> Val then repeats the question to the kid, using the altered spelling and pronunciation.
  2117. <Kioku> Akemi, having been first out to follow Lilith, stays on her as well, instinct demanding that she do so in silence.
  2118. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+6 Agi:Stealth
  2119. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+6 Agi:Stealth --> [ 4d3=7 ]{5}
  2120. <Endorb> FonyX stops going after Lilith and decides to stay with Val, not wanting him to be alone
  2121. <Uracilo> Lilith, you sneak past the trees and down a hill and onto a promontory. Wendy is not far behind. The rock outcropping you stand on overlooks what looks like a small lake, and you see the massive wing draped over the waters and smacked right onto the other shore. Dust hangs in the air where the wing hit.
  2122. <SolongStarbird> Val also accepts the kid as Wendy goes out to be a ninja. "Hold the phone now please?" Val says as he goes to hand the phone to FonyX.
  2123. <Uracilo> Akemi arrives there moments after, when some of the dust has settled, and a human figure can be seen trying to lift itself off the ground a few meters away from the wing.
  2124. <Endorb> "sure."
  2125. <Uracilo> The source of the wing is obscured by its size, but there isn't a twin anywhere near.
  2126. <SolongStarbird> Val is now cradling the kid, which is slightly awkard... but nothing he can't handle.
  2127. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy then slowly peeks out, under the guise of darkness, looking at the figure in the distance.
  2128. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith slows to a stop on the promontory. Her eyes taking in the entire scene with more than a bit of trepidition and awe. They follow it down it's length until she settles on the figure. She drops down to her knees and tries to stay hidden from his sight.
  2129. <SolongStarbird> Val waits for a response to his altered question.
  2130. <Kioku> Akemi considers whether this is more or less interesting than the tardis-closet... and decides no, it isn't, but it's a nice place anyway with its own natural beauty. The kind she wanted to explore with these two.
  2131. <Uracilo> The human figure manages to stand, and balls its fits to its sides. You can't see clearly what the figure does next, but you hear a shout, massive and powerful, like it was shouted right next to your ears. the dust in front of the figure explodes out of the way of his sight, and hundreds of feathers fly off of the wing.
  2132. <Uracilo> Some of the feathers land close to Akemi, Lilith and Wendy, roughly the size of one of their forearms.
  2133. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy takes in a sharp breath, seeing the figure, she then leans to Lilith, gasping softly as the feathers fly to them, on of them landing in her own lap. She holds it with her hand, it still being in her lap, looking to it curiously.
  2134. <Uracilo> Back in the hut, the kid's struggles grow stronger. Val, roll to keep hold of him.
  2135. <Uracilo> Just brawn, unless you have an appropriate skill.
  2136. <FullMetalBitch> "A souveneir," Lilith says to her with a small laugh. Enjoying the shower of feathers falling around the three of them. She watches the other two girls for a second before looking back to the figure and tries to hide her fear of the figure.
  2137. <Kioku> Akemi is half interested, half curious, and all confused at what this is, and its behavior. Then again, wings usually come in pairs, and it only has one...
  2138. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+7 martial arts (brawn)
  2139. <Uralogs> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+7 martial arts (brawn) --> [ 4d3=10 ]{9}
  2140. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy lets out a extremely soft giggle at Liliths words, then staying quiet again, she stares at the angel of sorts, holding to the feather in her hand.
  2141. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+5 Espartaco
  2142. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+5 Espartaco --> [ 4d3=10 ]{7}
  2143. <Uracilo> After the powerful shout ends, the wing "sinks" into the water. All that remains are white feathers on the surface, the light of the moon reflecting off of them. At the source of the wing stands another human figure.
  2144. <Uracilo> At that point, Gesundheit reaches the promontory, having had toruble traversing the wilderness with his larger body size.
  2145. <Kioku> Akemi glances toward him and puts a finger to her lips, tilting her head toward the waters below.
  2146. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances back to the loud man coming up behing them, before looking out towards the now two figures down below and hoping they didn't hear that klutz.
  2147. <Uracilo> His arrival is accompanied by several rocks rolling their way down the hill, past the promontory and into the water, drawing the attention of one of the figures.
  2148. <Kioku> Akemi sighs and shakes her head, suppressing a giggle at the same time.
  2149. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks over at Akemi, "Miss Akemi!" She says in a hushed whisper to try and grab her attention, "go play nice with them!"
  2150. <SavanahHolland1> Wenyd gasps, noticing the man behind the three of them, then looking at Lilith in suprise "Play nice..?"
  2151. <Kioku> Akemi blinks at Lilith, and a small smile starts to spread on her face.
  2152. <Uracilo> Once the figure that shouted turns toward you, you can see it's a man, or at least a boy. His hair flows into his beard, uninterrupted, and that betrays his sex.
  2153. <Uracilo> He hasn't seen you yet. You could try to hide Gesundheit.
  2154. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith shuffles back and grabs the front of Gesundheit's uniform/armor. "Get down you idiot!" She snaps at him in a very not nice whisper as she tries to tug him down, or at least guide him, she is a small little girl after all.
  2155. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy grits her teeth softly, more so in worry, then taking Akemi's hand as if not wanting what she assumed Lilith asked, she would be shaking her head, but she squeezes Akemi's hand her face filled with worry.
  2156. <Uracilo> Gesundheit drops flat on the floor behind you.
  2157. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith drops down with the group and looks back over to Akemi. "You are good with people, I trust you to make friendship with them. Will you do this for me?"
  2158. <Kioku> Akemi tilts her head at Wendy and squeezes back, then glances back and forth between her and Lilith.
  2159. <SolongStarbird> Val flips the kid around, and has him on the floor in a few seconds, using a move he learned back when training in martail arts class. He pins him to the floor.
  2160. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy looks to Lilith "Then I'm going with her.. It might be dangerous." she says in barely a whisper.
  2161. <SolongStarbird> Vala turns to Fony. "Use that phone to find out how to say 'I will et you up if you promise not to struggle or run away." Please.'
  2162. <Endorb> "Well, good job. Not sure if the flipping was required, but I guess." FonyX moves closer
  2163. <Uracilo> The kid continues to struggle, until he finds purchase on the familiar floor. At this point, it's a contest of pure strength.
  2164. <SolongStarbird> *Val
  2165. <Uracilo> Roll Brawl, Val
  2166. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : Brawl, Val --> error: malformed expression
  2167. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith says as she takes Wendy's hand and brings it over. Giving her a kiss on the wrist, "please be careful. Both of you. We will be here if you need us."
  2168. <Uracilo> Brawn*
  2169. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+3
  2170. <Uralogs> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{3}
  2171. <Endorb> FonyX uses google translate to send the message
  2172. <Uracilo> The message only causes the child to renew his efforts to pry Val off of him.
  2173. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+3
  2174. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{3}
  2175. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy smiles softly back with a nod, then kissing Lilith's forehead "We'll be fine.." she then moves away, taking Akemi's hand, ready for the worst, or best in hope.
  2176. <SolongStarbird> "Get the door, just in case." Val grunts as he works on holding the kid down.
  2177. <Uracilo> The kid actually manages to lift himself a few inches, with Val on top of him. A superhuman feat for a kid that small. He quickly falls under the pin again, however
  2178. <Endorb> FonyX blocks the door by crouching in front of it, making sure his stance covers the width of the doorframe
  2179. <Kioku> Akemi frowns slightly, indecisive. She wants to meet them, and do as Lilith asks, but she wants to not let Wendy get hurt /more/, and not go when she's asking her not to.
  2180. <SolongStarbird> Val looks into the scared eyes of the kid. "... Do you think he wants a hug by any chance?..."
  2181. <Uracilo> The kid screams what are obviously insults at you.
  2182. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks over to the man next to her, "why do you wear that outfit anyway?" She says before turning back to look out at the scene before them and keep an eye on the two of them.
  2183. <Endorb> FonyX shrugs
  2184. <Kioku> She looks to Wendy. "Is this something /you want/ to do?"
  2185. <Uracilo> He's not scared. He's angry and worried.
  2186. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy then stands up moving over to reveal Wendy and Akemi, pulling akemi up with her and stepping over to the side so Lilith and the man are unseen, this desision now fine, knowing she can protect Akemi, Lilith and herself now.
  2187. <Endorb> FonyX speaks into the translator "Things will go much better if you co-operate with us. Please"
  2188. <Uracilo> "Is it really necessary to make small talk in this situation? The uniform is an icon, meant to call up memories of superheroes to the minds of the children I help.
  2189. <Uracilo> "*
  2190. <SolongStarbird> Val looks up to see that Fony has shut the door. He takes a moment, and then releases his pin and stands up to see what the kid will do.
  2191. <Kioku> Akemi follows Wendy up and off to the side, and lets out a breath. "Tsubasa-san, konnichiwa. Atashi wa Akemi desu. Dōzo yoroshiku!"
  2192. <FullMetalBitch> "Superheroes wear capes," Lilith says to him as she watches the two girls indecisiveness.
  2193. <SolongStarbird> "Fony how do you apologise in Spanish?"
  2194. <Uracilo> The girls see the boy on the shore recoil at the sight of them. He shouts something at the other human figure, the one that had the wing, and runs towards you.
  2195. <Endorb> "Does it matter when we have voice translate?" He turns it on again "He says he's sorry and he paniced"
  2196. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy squeezes Akemi's hand, partly out of slight fear, her confidence leaving her, she stares at the figure running to them, her breath catching.
  2197. <Uracilo> The moment Val moves out of the pin, the kid stands with superior strength and runs at the broken door and FonyX, trying to slip by him.
  2198. <Kioku> Akemi takes another deep breath and squeezes back. She watches the approach, showing the hand that isn't holding Wendy's. "Please, let us communicate with one another?"
  2199. <Kioku> \They probably don't understand a word I'm saying. Gotta learn more languages.\
  2200. <SolongStarbird> "Dammit! Why didn't Gesundheit stay here?"
  2201. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy says through the nervousness, now in a clearer voice "Hello.." She moves a little closer, barely in front of Akemi
  2202. <Uracilo> The hairy boy/man stops in his tracks at your words. "Inglés?! Son Ingleses!" he shouts in the direction of the other figure, and looks at you threateningly.
  2203. <Uracilo> Gesundheit steps out of the shadows at that moment, putting his hand on Wendy's shoulder. "Stop." he says, but the increasingly apparent teenager boy doesn't let up on his advance up the hill.
  2204. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith pokes her head up and kneels on the edge of the perch, watching the scene play out with some interest. Andrea has even turned around and is watching the scene, his head darting between the three of her friends and the other two figures.
  2205. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy's breath again catches at Gesunderheit's hand on her shoulder, staring at the boy approaching in fear, she glances at Akemi, her face not protarying her emotions as much but you can tell she's clearly scared.
  2206. <Kioku> "Maybe we're just too different..." Akemi pushes energy through herself and manifests her spectral features, as visibly as she can. "Shimatta..."
  2207. <Uracilo> The boy stops when he gets a look at you, noticing Akemi's oriental features and the fact that they're girls. He turns to the other figure, trying to say something, but a pair of white wings the size of a door slap him to the ground.
  2208. <Uracilo> The other figure is revealed to be another boy, having run all the way around the lake to be here. He's a lot more scrawny, and sports no facial hair, but he has long blonde hair and wears those small, circular sunglasses, even though it's dark.
  2209. <Uracilo> "Ho-hola!" he shouts, excitedly.
  2210. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and steps up to be next to Wendy, assuming it's a greeting. "Konnichiwa!"
  2211. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy gasps almost jumping back, trying to pull Akemi to move back with her, as the boy speaks she says slowly "Hello.." then repeating "hola" under her breath, having heard Rose say it as a greeting in the past.
  2212. <Uracilo> "I speak englisch," he manages, at least out of practice, before the other boy stands up and clocks him right in the face.
  2213. <Kioku> Two of Akemi's tails flick over to wrap around Wendy's waist. They exert almost no pressure, but the gesture is what counts.
  2214. <Uracilo> Gesundheit tries to step forward and stop the altercation.
  2215. <Kioku> She looks on in shock at the violence displayed and tries to pull Wendy with her down to intervene.
  2216. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy then nods, maybe some of her fear lifted, though still cautious, she follows Akemi's movement, staring at the boy "D-don't hit him!"
  2217. <Uracilo> The brawnier boy seems satisfied with one punch, and settles for nursing the scrapes he got from the fall after being hit by the large wings.

  2219. <Uracilo> The other boy also stands, his broken glasses falling off his face. He holds his hand to his nose and some blood falls on it. "Eres un desgraciado, Caraeleón," He mutters.
  2220. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy bites her lip, then taking a npakin from her fanny pack, handing it to the boy with a bloody nose "Use this to wipe the blood off."
  2221. <Uracilo> He gladly takes it, making a show of it, and gives Wendy a smile that is pretty well ruined by the blood. "Gracias, digo, tank you veri mach."
  2222. <Kioku> Akemi moves next to the bloodied boy, putting a tail around him too and staring curiously at the one who punched him.
  2223. <Kioku> "Problem with people who speak English, by chance?"
  2224. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy's fears are pushes aside for now, smiling back at the boy, then asking before Akemi says anything "What's your name" then thinking about it, ready to explain as if he were Twelve.
  2225. <Uracilo> The newly named Caraeleón looks away, not wanting to meet eyes with any of them. "Canario, no quiero nada que ver con... con esto."
  2226. <SavanahHolland1> She seems confused, then turns to Akemi, sadly not knowing spanish and not knowing he shared his name.
  2227. <Uracilo> The other boy laughs at his brawnier countryman's expense, then eyes the etheral tail. "Oh! Y-you are... strange!" He exclaims, an ethereal pair of wing with the same consistency growing out of his back.
  2228. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and grins. She has no idea that a name was mentioned at any point either, but... well... does the Akemi thing to do.
  2229. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy then stares back at the wings, offering her hand slowly to shake his, looking at him with confusion, caution and happiness all at the same time, the happiness more from them not killing her.
  2230. <Uracilo> "Let's go to the house." He says, finally, starting to walk past Gesundheit's outstretched arm without a word for him.
  2231. <Kioku> She gestures to herself. "Akemi." Then she holds out a hand to the two boys and uses the one and only phrase she knows in every language. "Quieres ser mi amigo?" ... She stumbles a little over it.
  2232. <Uracilo> Canario takes the hand and kisses the back of it, winking in her direction. "Y más," He adds, not bothering to translate.
  2233. <Uracilo> He then does the same for Wendy's.
  2234. <Kioku> Akemi smiles brightly and looks hopefully at the other boy.
  2235. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy blushes, almost falling back at the gesture, then nods, her eyes slightly wide, though not making her emotions obvious.
  2236. <FullMetalBitch> "Keep it in your pants!" Lilith shouts from behind on her perch.
  2237. <Uracilo> Canario rushes to greet Lilith, once he sees her.
  2238. <Uracilo> Caraeleón stays down there, looking sullen. He clearly has no interest in meeting anyone.
  2239. <SavanahHolland1> Hearing Lilith's voice she almost stumbles back more, now staring at Lilith with a blush and confused expression, trying to hold off awkward laughing, then moving closer to Akemi, or more so shuffling.
  2240. <Kioku> Akemi breaks out laughing when Lilith shouts, squeezing Wendy's hand.
  2241. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stands up to meet the boy, letting him play his little game.
  2242. <Kioku> She looks a little sad at the lack of response from Caraleón, but... \It's okay. It'll only take time.\
  2243. <Kioku> She pokes him in the arm with a tail before going up.
  2244. <Uracilo> He takes Lilith's hand and kisses the back of it, looking at her over the knuckles.
  2245. <Kioku> There's /almost/ no pressure behind the poke, only an odd tingling.
  2246. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith yanks her hand away from him, as he holds it just a little too long for it to be just friendly. She gives him a look.
  2247. <Uracilo> Canario only laughs at the response.
  2248. <Uracilo> Gesundheit bores of waiting for Caraeleón to pull something, and walks with you, at the back of the procession.
  2249. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy puffs her cheeks softly, not really knowing what to do, then nudging Akemi to move closer to Lilith.
  2250. <Kioku> Akemi goes along with the nudge, her inhuman features fading for now, and offers Lilith her hand.
  2251. <Uracilo> "Let's go!" He shouts, his intonation wrong. "To the house!"
  2252. <Uracilo> Canario shouts*
  2253. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith takes it and adjusts Andrea in her arm, following the group.
  2254. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy's breath starts going back to normal, wanting to take Lilith's other hand but holding off. She then walks slowly forward, waiting for the others to lead. Wendy leans to Akemi "They seemed nicer than I expected.." her voice is slightly nervous.
  2255. <Uracilo> As the procession walks through the trees and up the hill, Caraeleón follows, a few feet away. Eventually, the hut comes into view, with FonyX sitting on top of the kid, and Val holding the phone, outside.
  2256. <Uracilo> the treeline*
  2257. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stops and slips her hand away from Akemi's, taking a few steps aside from her as she checks back on their chapherone and the other boy.

  2261. <SavanahHolland1> Wendy then glances to Lilith's unguarded hand, wanting to take it but at the same time not wanting to hold Lilith back with it, she puffs her cheeks softly at the internal battle.
  2262. <Kioku> Akemi waves to the house, giving a strange look to the sight outside it.
  2263. <Endorb> "So, how should we go about getting him back inside, then?"

  2277. <SavanahHolland> Wendy opens to door to the hut, seeing the boy pinned down, she now looks she she's about to kick you in the jaw just refrains.
  2278. <AboutToEatOrb> (um, they're outside)
  2279. <SavanahHolland> (We just went over this Endorb)
  2280. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith watches the Caraeleon boy with a bit of hestitation. The creepy overtly romantic boy was icky, but this other boy was even more off putting than that.
  2281. <SavanahHolland> By this point Wendy had decides to take Lilith's hand, now holding both Akemi's and Lilith's.
  2282. <Uracilo> The little boy smiles from his position as he sees upside-down people arrive.
  2283. <Uracilo> Eventually, Caraeleón walks into the clearing by the stream, and the little boy begins to struggle again, with renewed vigor.
  2284. <AboutToEatOrb> FonyX notices the smile and looks behind him to see the group arriving
  2285. <Uracilo> FonyX, roll brawn to keep him down.
  2286. <Uracilo> If you try to, that is.

  2291. <Uracilo> The little kid struggles, but he's in a terrible position to leverage his strength, and he blushes brightly as Caraeleón laughs at him.
  2292. * mgranaa (Mibbit@synIRC-882EF877.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net) has joined
  2293. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith lets her hand be taken, and resigns herself to watch the interaction of the three people.
  2294. <FullMetalBitch> "So which one of you pleaded for help?" Lilith plainly asks the three of them.
  2295. <Kioku> Akemi's strange look continues, and she half-laughs before pulling the procession toward the house until they're in speaking range.
  2296. <Kioku> "Why would you /sit on him/? He seemed fine before!"
  2297. <Uracilo> "Pleaded for help?" repeats Canario, shaking his head at the spectacle. "That is like ask? Not me."
  2298. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at Phony, really itching to kick him off, if only to releive frustraitions, but decides against it.
  2299. <AboutToEatOrb> "He tried to run, and I didn't think we wanted that. He also refises to talk to anybody who can speak english"
  2300. <FullMetalBitch> "What about the silent boy? What is his problem?" Lilith says with a nod towards Caraeleon.
  2301. <Uracilo> Eventually Caraeleón bores of laughing at the little kid and walks towards FonyX, a scowl on his face.
  2302. <Kioku> Akemi's shoulders fall. "That's an odd bias to have... refusing contact with someone just because of their knowledge in a thing like language..."
  2303. <Uracilo> "He has got issues. Hates strangers," The blonde boy says, shrugging.
  2304. <Kioku> Akemi's sad look turns to Canario. "Does that mean he won't talk to you either?"
  2305. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Akemi, giving it hand a squeeze "Some people are just like that.. It's not right though, maybe if we're nice to him it'll be fine?"
  2306. <AboutToEatOrb> "Well, if you guys can convince him not to run, I'll happily get off"
  2307. <Uracilo> "Oh, he talk to me. He is just trying to be loyal to his brother," says Canario, as Caraeleón reaches FonyX and grabs him by the shoulder.
  2308. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then lets go of both the girls hands, lending down to the boy
  2309. <Uracilo> Roll something to resist
  2310. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : something to resist --> error: malformed expression
  2311. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+4 Liberation, keep calm stay calm.
  2312. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+4 Liberation, keep calm stay calm. --> [ 4d3=9 ]{5}
  2313. <AboutToEatOrb> FonyX removes himself from the kid
  2314. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith steps back and watches the exchange, crossing her arms over Andrea held to her chest. "You hear their pleas for help," she says to Gesuntheit, "surely you know which one it was?"
  2315. <Uracilo> Once FonyX is off his brother, Caraeleón stands back and crosses his arms. he doesn't help his brother up.
  2316. <Uracilo> The little kid stands up quickly, and tries to refuse Wendy's help but ends up pacified anyways.
  2317. <Uracilo> He doesn't try to run away.
  2318. <Kioku> Akemi tilts her head and is about to lean against Wendy at her reassurance, until her hand is removed. She takes one step to follow, but glances down and stops instead of continuing. \It'll be okay. They just need time. They'll like me, they just need to know me first.\
  2319. <Uracilo> Gesundheit has his arms crossed as well, watching the interactions. "It was the little boy, certainly. I cannot hear older voices, only children.
  2320. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then stands back up, taking Akemi's hand once more and offering her other to Lilith if she wanted, then lets out a sigh, more so glad the boy didn't run.
  2321. <AboutToEatOrb> "Odd. well, let's see if your friends can figure out the problem"
  2322. <Uracilo> Canario enters the hut and walks by the broken lock without a thought. He walks into the closet and back, returning with a suitcase in hand.
  2323. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith gives wendy a brush of the hand but elects to walk back towards the hut, checking her flashlight to see if it works as she goes for a quick stroll to look around the area surrounding the clearing.
  2324. * SolongDinner is now known as SolongStarbird
  2325. <Uracilo> He opens the suitcase to reveal a small folding table.
  2326. <Kioku> Insted of taking Wendy's hand, Akemi wraps both hands around her arm and hugs it.
  2327. <Uracilo> He makes some kind of sign to the little kid and he heads inside, then comes back carrying an armful of folding seats.
  2328. <SavanahHolland> Wendy seems a little disappointed by Lilith, but doesn't let it show much, then smiling at Akemi, then looking at the man comming out, carrying folding seats "Need help?"
  2329. <Uracilo> Canario sits at one, once they're properly set up. "Who are you and what you doing here?" he asks, curious.
  2330. <SolongStarbird> Val has been silent this whole time, probably out of upsetness.
  2331. <Uracilo> And the little kid heads inside*
  2332. <SolongStarbird> "I'm sorry, Wendy. I couldn't keep him calm like you asked... We had to pin him down...."
  2333. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sighs under her breath "It's fine."
  2334. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith scurries around the back of the house and tries to find, well, the cat burglar's way in. A window to get open or some such thing.
  2335. <SolongStarbird> "So what did you find in the closet?"
  2336. <Kioku> Akemi's eye twitches and she positively scowls at Val and FonyX for a couple of moments before her smile reasserts itself and she puts her head against Wendy's shoulder.
  2337. <Kioku> "Would you like us to sit with you?" she asks.
  2338. <Uracilo> Lilith, you find a window shaped like a star in the back. It leads to the hut, however, not to the closet. The room in the closet is nowhere to be seen outside.
  2339. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles at Akemi, a little worried, then using her other hand to give Akemi's head a small reasurring pet of sorts.
  2340. <SolongStarbird> Val let's out a sigh ~Failed once again....~
  2341. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith tries around the edge of it, to see if it is even possible to open it. Or much like the rest of the house, it is so hodge podge it is just a piece of glass set into the wood.
  2342. <Uracilo> The star-shaped window does not have a glass pane to speak of.
  2343. <SolongStarbird> "I tried singing to him.... and then I tried speaking spanish without Translate. He laughed... I hope I did okay.... He doesn't like people who speak English...."
  2344. <SolongStarbird> Val is clearly upset.
  2345. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods, then looks to the man-boy waiting for a answer to see if they could sit with him.
  2346. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith tries to pull herself up and through the window to get inside. (can i roll gymnast, or sneak for... sneakiness)
  2347. <Uracilo> yes, roll one of those
  2348. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 sneaky breeky
  2349. <Uralogs> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 sneaky breeky --> [ 4d3=9 ]{9}
  2350. <Uracilo> "Sit down, sit down." He motions for you all to take one of the folding seats.
  2351. <Uracilo> Lilith, you make it inside the hut without being noticed.
  2352. <Uracilo> The star-shaped window is uncomfortable to slide in through, but you manage
  2353. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith ducks down and heads for the closet, like a schoolgirl trying to sneak out for a night of partying. But sneaking in. For information gathering.
  2354. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles at the boy, then taking a seat in one of the chairs, motioning for Akemi to take the one right next to her, then turning back to the boy "Thank you."
  2355. <Uracilo> Inside the closet is a big room, roughly the size of the common room back at the dorms. There are four beds at the other end of the room, three against one wall, and the fourth against the other. The fourth bed doesn't look like it's been used in a while.
  2356. <SolongStarbird> Val clearly wants to ammend his error. "Would you like me to help you Lilith?"
  2357. <Kioku> Akemi sits by Wendy, eyebrow raised. \He was expecting to need to have a sit-down discussion?\

  2360. <Uracilo> There aren't quite enough seats for everyone. Caraeleón and Gesundheit remain standing, and the little kid doesn't know if he should seat or leave a seat for someone else.
  2361. <Uracilo> sit*
  2362. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith makes her way over to the papers, throwing a glance towards the closet entrance before she starts to inspect them and hopes they aren't all in the alien language the people outside are speaking.
  2363. <SavanahHolland> Wendy motions for the boy to sit down across from her with a smile

  2366. <SolongStarbird> He goes in and asks of he can help her in any way.
  2367. <SavanahHolland> (The kid boy)
  2368. <Uracilo> The papers all seem to be written in the alien language, sadly, but you do find something that breaks language barriers. There is a map on the table, with several arrows and markings. It seems to be a screenshot of googlemaps from the little google watermarks you see on it. There are several arrows drawn on it, pointing from what looks like the stream to a building a couple miles away.
  2369. <SolongStarbird> REDACT Val spotting Lilith.
  2370. <Uracilo> The little kid tries to scowl at Wendy but doesn't really manage to look angry. He takes a seat, though.
  2371. <SolongStarbird> Val, wanting to ammend his eroor, looks around for ways to help. Seeing that there is not much to do, especially since Wendy and Akemi don't approve of him it seems, he wanders inside. He never did take a good look at the inside of the closet....
  2372. <SavanahHolland> Wendy lets out a small laugh, then nodding and turning to Akemi, kicking her feet softly against the chair.
  2373. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith, being the great guest she is, snatches a few papers and grabs the map. She tucks them away quickly into her backpack and starts to look around the rest of the room. Those lockers looked promising.
  2374. <Uracilo> Lilith, you hear footsteps approaching. Sounds from outside are louder in here.
  2375. <Uracilo> Canario looks at everyone expectantly, still waiting for an asnwer to his question.
  2376. <SolongStarbird> Val looks around. ~This is the people's house... and they do hate me... I hope they don't mind. I am still on assignment though.~
  2377. <AboutToEatOrb> "Well, I think Gesundheit can explain best" FonyX gestures at him
  2378. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith ducks next to the entrance to the closet, holding herself up next to the door trying to not be seen.
  2379. <SolongStarbird> Val goes over to the closet. "Ah..." ~Wow. There is a lot in here. Was there even a room on the back of the hut? Maybe the space is defying reality....~
  2380. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip in thought "We are on a mission, to help a child I think?" she looks over to Akemi, hoping the girl corrects her if she's wrong.
  2381. <SolongStarbird> Val takes a step into the closet, just to make sure it isn't fake. ~Then again, the three and Geshudheit went in before....~
  2382. <Uracilo> Gesundheit clears his throat. "I am here on the part of a group named Kindergarten. These children are helping me. I came here because I someone here asked for help." He stares pointedly at the little kid, who cowers slightly.
  2383. <Kioku> Akemi squeezes Wendy's arm, nodding.
  2384. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith decides it's not the best place she can hide. Even under the beds would be better than this. She decides one of the lockers is her best bet and runs across the room to pull one open and slip into it to hide.
  2385. <Uracilo> Lilith steps inside the locker and discovers a separate room. It's dark and somewhat damp, but light comes from a computer's screen inside.
  2386. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith is caught off guard as she looks around the room. She pulls Andrea close to herself and heads over to the computer screen. A little more than intrigued.
  2387. <SolongStarbird> Val hears the locker door. Curious, he takes a few more cautious steps into the closet room, and then walks over to the locker.
  2388. <Uracilo> Canario looks at the little boy. "Es eso verdad, Elbio?" he turns back to the rest. "He called you here?"
  2389. <Uracilo> Gesundheit explains his power, and they talk a little, but neither really knows what the problem is, or Canario doesn't want to tell.
  2390. <SavanahHolland> Wendy hopes that's enough to explain for that part of it, then somewhat shake her head at Canario "I have no idea, it could of."
  2391. <SolongStarbird> Val opens the locker door, and sees Lilith and the expanse of dark room before her as well.
  2392. <Uracilo> The computer shows a bunch of documents in english, and a window with google translate on it, where the boys seem to have been translating it to spanish.
  2393. <Kioku> Akemi leans forward with a soft look at the youngest person here, and occasional glances to Canario. "We'd like to help, truly. Please, we came all this way because we /want/ to offer what aid we can. Won't you tell us what's wrong?"
  2394. <Uracilo> The documents are some sort of shipping manifest, but the contents of the containers being shipped isn't listed.
  2395. <Kioku> She makes her voice soothing, easy to listen to, the tones hopefully getting her attitude through the langauge barrier.
  2396. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances up from the computer screen and looks up as she hears someone come in. She snaps at him, "close that!"
  2397. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+7
  2398. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=7 ]{6}
  2399. <Uracilo> The little kid, Elbio, stands up and walks over to Canario, then when the older boy leans closer, whispers in his ear.
  2400. <SolongStarbird> Val obeys, and closes the door. Leaving himself outside.
  2401. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks at Akemi for a moment, a smile comming on her face, Akemi was really good with people, wasn't she, then letting her arm out of her chair to take Akemi's hand.
  2402. <SolongStarbird> "Would you like me to come in and help you?" He asks through the locker grate.
  2403. <FullMetalBitch> "Yes," Lilith says in the same hushed tone, "and be quiet you silly boy!"
  2404. <Uracilo> The older boy sighs and lays his hands on the table. "Elbio wants me to tell you about what is happening. We are an small group, but we all lost someone to drugs from Los Ingleses."
  2405. <SolongStarbird> Val gives a weak smile. "Okay." He opens, enters through, and shuts the door deliberately quietly.
  2406. <FullMetalBitch> "What can you make of this?" Lilith says and ushers Val over to the computer to look at the documents.
  2407. <Kioku> Akemi looks sorrowful, squeezing Wendy's hand and nodding to the boy.
  2408. <Uracilo> He bites his lip, clearly saying more than he wishes he were. "Our leader left, to study on Madrid, and Caraeleón wants to fight them. I cannot stop him without fighting. Elbio is afraid we will be seen and go to jail."
  2409. <SolongStarbird> Val scrutinizes the screen. "It seems that they are sending containers to an English speaking country... possibly illicit since the contents aren't listed."
  2410. <SolongStarbird> "Maybe?" He whispers.
  2411. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then glances to the youngest boy, her face softening, and then lets out a breath of understanding paired with a nod of the same meaning "What can we do.. to help?" she asks quietly
  2412. <Uracilo> The shipping recipient is actually listed, you could search where it is.
  2413. <FullMetalBitch> "Do you have a phone or something?" Lilith asks Val quickly as she listens.
  2414. <Kioku> \Wait, does Los Ingleses not just mean the English? Is it an actual group?\ Akemi looks confused for a moment. "Who..."
  2415. <Uracilo> Canario laughs for a second, then continues. "There is no solution. They are big and dangerous, and we cannot do much, even with our... strangeness."
  2416. <SolongStarbird> "I believe I might have kept Geshundheit's phone..." Val takes a second. "Yep."
  2417. <SolongStarbird> "Wnat me to look up the recipient?"
  2418. <SavanahHolland> Wendy's face looks down slightly, her free hand that isn't occupied with Akemi now has a orange flame dancing around and through her fingers.
  2419. <FullMetalBitch> "Yes," Lilith says nodding to him. "Where did this go? Take pictures too!"
  2420. <SolongStarbird> Val quickly snaps a picture or two of the screen, and then searches the name of the recipient. Pressing enter, he watcches the results load.
  2421. <Uracilo> The recipient seems to be an address that google maps pinpoints easily. It is a picture Lilith recognizes, after a few seconds of looking at it.
  2422. <SolongStarbird> Val reads Lilith's facial expressions. "You know something?"
  2423. <FullMetalBitch> "I have seen this," Lilith says as she digs the map out of her backpack and lines it up.
  2424. <FullMetalBitch> "Come," Lilith says as she heads towards the locker door, map and Andrea in hand.
  2425. <Uracilo> It's the same image.
  2426. <Kioku> "Tell me, who, what are they? I don't understand."
  2427. <SolongStarbird> ~Very convenient.~ "Where is it?" Val follows.
  2428. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith heads out of the locker, out of the closet, and out of the house. "What were you looking for?" She spouts it off as soon as she exits the door, holding up the map for the group to see.
  2429. <Kioku> Akemi blinks at Lilith. \Way to kill trust...\
  2430. <Uracilo> "They are a group of criminals. They are english and they use the law to help them."
  2431. <SolongStarbird> Val follows right behind her. "We found something!"
  2432. <Uracilo> The three boys and Gesundheit turn to look at Lilith. The two older boys look angry at the two people who clearly dug through their things.
  2433. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Lilith, actually quite suprised, then looking to the other boys, ready to apologise to them on part of her girlfriend.
  2434. <AboutToEatOrb> ~why?~
  2435. <Uracilo> Caraeleón walks towards Lilith, ready to rip the printed map out of her hands.
  2436. <FullMetalBitch> "Well? What were you looking for? It is a simple question for you to answer." Lilith glances between the three boys. She tries to play a fantastic game of keep-away with Caraeleon.
  2437. <SolongStarbird> Val looks ready to defend Lilith if it comes to it.
  2438. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then stands up, moving to stay in front of him to keep Lilith away "I'm sorry about this." she mumbles to him.
  2439. <Uracilo> Canario sighs and holds his hand to his head. "That's one of the places they use to hide."
  2440. <Kioku> Akemi sighs and shakes her head... but stops mid-motion when Canario speaks. "Is it, now?" A mischevious smile starts to play at her lips.
  2441. <AboutToEatOrb> "perhalps we can infiltrate it?" FonyX muses
  2442. <Uracilo> He shouts at his friend to stand down, and then turns back to the rest. "Can you please explain, before they make him angry."
  2443. <SavanahHolland> Wendy glances over to Lilith worriedly, then taking her side, and whispering to her ear "Did you get that from the hut? What happened?'
  2444. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith offers the map back to him now that things have changed and the winds have turned, following the flow of the group as she often does.
  2445. <Kioku> Akemi glances up to Gesundheit questioningly. "Ne, ne, are we serving as your proxies here? Have to abide the same pacifism rules, if we were to look at this?"
  2446. <Uracilo> He snatches it out of her hands, glaring at her.
  2447. <SolongStarbird> Val looks to Lilith. "Should I tell them?" he whispers.
  2448. <Uracilo> Gesundheit bites his lip and answers. "I am disallowed from lying... so I will tell you the truth. The GWU has told me to follow you. I do not outrank you, in this mission."
  2449. <FullMetalBitch> "Go ahead," Lilith says to Val as she leans over to give Wendy a quick kiss on the lips and a reassuring "do not worry, silly girl."
  2450. <SolongStarbird> "We found this info on a computer in the locker in the closet." Val says to answer the question.
  2451. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes at the quick peck on the lips, puffing her cheeks slightly and leaning on Lilith, mumbling "o-ok.."
  2452. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and glances to Wendy and Lilith, then to the residents of this place. Val is occupying their attention for the moment, and she doesn't know what happened in there, so she waits.
  2453. <FullMetalBitch> "So then," Lilith says taking charge of the group of the leaderless. "It is decided then. We will go there. Okay all?"
  2454. <AboutToEatOrb> "I've no problem"
  2455. <SolongStarbird> "Okay then."
  2456. <Uracilo> Canario objects. "It is dangerous! Why do you think I want to stop Caraeleón?"
  2457. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks up to him "We are powerful.. at least enough.. We could handle it."
  2458. <AboutToEatOrb> "But there's 8, potentially 9 of us. Strength in numbers, and all that"
  2459. <SolongStarbird> Val is suddenly confused, "Aren't you the ones selling him stuff?" The look on his face suggests that he is worried he just said something utterly stupid.
  2460. <Uracilo> "But, they have weapons!" He interjects.
  2461. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith waves a hand to dismiss the thought, "we are the best damn softball team from Pennsylvania. We have got this!" She throws a glance over towards Akemi, giggling, "I forgot to mention. You are recruited."
  2462. <SavanahHolland> Wendy giggles at Lilith with a nod "We can handle anything together."
  2463. <SolongStarbird> Val nods.
  2464. <Kioku> Akemi blinks in surprise at Lilith, then giggles with her, nodding her agreement.
  2465. <AboutToEatOrb> FonyX gives an affirmative noise
  2466. <FullMetalBitch> "Then we go, and I would hope you would join us." Lilith looks towards their new friends with a smile.
  2467. <Uracilo> "I cannot allow you to do this in good conscience!" Says Gesundheit.
  2468. <Kioku> \We do not know how powerful we are, or they are, though. How can we gague whether we will be safe? This puts my friends in danger...\
  2469. <AboutToEatOrb> "But you don't outrank us, remember?"
  2470. <SolongStarbird> Val just accepts the fact that the people from the hut aren't with the criminals. "If you'd rather stay here, we can't blame you at all."
  2471. <SolongStarbird> Val turns to Fony. "He does have contact with higher authority though, doesn't he?"
  2472. <FullMetalBitch> "It is okay Gesh on height. You will make sure nothing hits us! You are a super hero after all." Lilith grabs Wendy's hand and starts to follow the stream as she remembers it from the map. "Come, all of you now."
  2473. <Kioku> Akemi stares at the older brother of their caller for a little while. "He wants to go."
  2474. <SavanahHolland> Wendy puffs her cheeks softly, looking like a stight dope with her smile, then looking at Lilith and following, or more stumbling along "We've got this." she says quietly, more to herself then anyone else.
  2475. <SolongStarbird> Val looks at the brave volunteer. ~Is he anomalous? Surely he has the possibility of dying, and I don't want to witness a third death.~
  2476. <SolongStarbird> ~Come to think of it, we all do...~ Val subtley shudders.
  2477. <Kioku> She glances back to the English speaker. "Tell me, this proposed act; will it help you? Will it make you more safe?"
  2478. <Uracilo> Gesundheit looks angry, but follows you regardless. The three spaniards also follow, Caraeleón trailing behind Canario, unsure of what was said, and his little brother following him in turn.
  2479. <Uracilo> "If we remove their house, they will have to regroup, and it won't be soon." He explains, still against the idea, aware of the danger.
  2480. <SolongStarbird> "I just hope no one gets hurt too bad..." Val mutters.
  2481. <Kioku> "It's a house? Not a compound? Not a large facility, a factory? A warehouse maybe?"
  2482. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith talks to Wendy as they walk, "just like we trained before. Together, remember?" She comments to her and motions to the flame dancing in the palm of her hand.
  2483. <AboutToEatOrb> "As long as we work together, I'm sure we won't screw up. Unless somebody rolls a natural 1, in which case somebody'll probably get hurt"
  2484. <Uracilo> The group walks together for almost half an hour before they begin to notice the lights of the town in the distance.
  2485. <SavanahHolland> Wendy takes a deep breath, nodding "Yeah.. yeah if we work together i'll be fine." she looks maybe a little nervous, having probably regreted acting brave along side Lilith, but tries to hide it.
  2486. <Uracilo> Canario then turns and leads everyone down a goat trail, deeper into the hills.
  2487. <Kioku> Akemi takes Wendys arm on the side opposite Lilith, and lets out a long breath.
  2488. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith puts away her bottle of water as she starts to see the town. Having spent the time explaining to a completely enraptured and not at all bored Wendy about her plans for the softball team. From the jerseys, to the sponsorships, to the members of the team, "...I think Sara would make the best pitcher in the school. Do you not agree?"
  2489. <Uracilo> Eventually, a large concrete warehouse becomes visible, silhouetted in the dark. The lights of a moving vehicle can be seen from the side, driving up to the building.
  2490. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods, her nervousness now tucked away by now "It sounds good, what spot would I be in?" she laughs "I've never really played it but it sounds fun." she then notices the building, her stomach turning.
  2491. <AboutToEatOrb> "Well, we're here. What's the plan; blow it up? burn it down?"
  2492. <AboutToEatOrb> "do something not illegal?"
  2493. <Kioku> Akemi fingers the hem of her skirt with her free hand and giggles.
  2494. <SolongStarbird> Val chuckles. ~A softball team... How would that work with abilities?... What if I was the cheerleader?..~ He snaps back into focus.
  2495. <Uracilo> "What do you think?" asks Canario, curious.
  2496. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith says to Wendy, "I will think of it." She turns back to the rest of the group. "We will try our best to be diplomatic. But plan for the worst."
  2497. <SolongStarbird> "I could help you be diplomatic if you wish." Val whispers.
  2498. <AboutToEatOrb> "I thought they were an illegal organization that potentially killed this guy's leader"
  2499. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith motions to Akemi, "she will do the talking. With the boy who speaks english to do the translating. As well as Mister Valentin. The rest of us will wait close enough, to be there if we are needed. This is our plan. Good?"
  2500. <Uracilo> "Diplomatic!?" Canario looks at you like you're crazy. "Th-that is your plan?"
  2501. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles to Lilith, though it seems a little forced, the idea of the building turning in her stomach, then nodding to Lilith "That sounds good.."
  2502. <SolongStarbird> "We always have tricks up our sleeves if the situation calls for it." Val chuckles.
  2503. <Kioku> A shimmer runs over Akemi's form, just for a second. Nothing noticably changes about her, but it makes one wonder. She pouts a little. "If we talk to them, what do we expect them to /do/? They won't leave simply by being asked, so perhaps something else was in mind?"
  2504. <AboutToEatOrb> "We could always bluff that we're not giving them a choice"
  2505. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks up "I could stay hidden behind you all as you enter in case things go sour?"
  2506. <SolongStarbird> "...Lilith is good at sneaking around.... Is there some way sabotage could be implemented?"
  2507. <Kioku> Akemi smiles slyly. "Wendy could be good at everything I am."
  2508. <FullMetalBitch> "I could try," Lilith says with a shrug. "I would like someone to come with me, if anything."
  2509. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks up to Akemi, maybing a little slightly confused, hoping for the girl to shed some light, or just do it even.
  2510. <SolongStarbird> "I'm not good at sneaking around... but I can do that damage part."
  2511. <SolongStarbird> "The sabotaging."
  2512. <FullMetalBitch> "I would at least like for us to give them every chance," Lilith says with a sigh.
  2513. <AboutToEatOrb> "well, I'm alright at sneaking. It seems Akemi could do either." FonyX beguins working this out
  2514. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and leans over to Wendy's ear. "Ware wa nanji." She winks. "Remember yesterday~?"
  2515. <AboutToEatOrb> "I'd do better at stealth if it were guards, but otherwise interacting with them is better. Gad, which are you better with?"
  2516. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes slightly, then nodding as if to approve
  2517. <FullMetalBitch> "Oh," Lilith says as she starts to dig through her backpack. "Did they pack us radios? Headsets?"
  2518. <AboutToEatOrb> "Wendy might be useful as an intimidation, but she's also a good destructive force, probably better there..."
  2519. <Uracilo> There are walkie talkies and some of those patches in the backpacks
  2520. <AboutToEatOrb> "Val... I don't know where he'd be more useful..."
  2521. <Kioku> "The fewer there are of us, the fewer they can detect, should we go this route, but the fewer we have should we need help." Akemi takes a step away from Wendy, smirks, and nods to her. "Does anyone need something from my backpack?"
  2522. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith makes sure everyone gets a radio out and gives them all a channel to use. "Only use them if it is needed. We do not want them going off while we are trying to be quiet. Is it understood?"'
  2523. <AboutToEatOrb> "I'd say 2-3 on sabotage, the rest on 'diplomacy'"
  2524. <SolongStarbird> "I am actually a good persuader... and I could be used for firepower." Val chimes in.
  2525. <Uracilo> Canario looks at you all with the look of one of those homeless doomsayers walking down the streets. He doesn't think this can work.
  2526. <SavanahHolland> "Probably not.. you should ask the others though.. if needed." she then closes her eyes, expecting something to happen.
  2527. <AboutToEatOrb> "Well, it seems the logical options for stealth are as follows:"
  2528. <SolongStarbird> "I would probably be best suited for the confronting party."
  2529. <Kioku> Akemi shimmers, shifts, and leaps into Wendy.
  2530. <AboutToEatOrb> "Akemi, Lilith, Me, and Maybe this guy"
  2531. <SolongStarbird> Val rubs his eyes. ~So that's what she does...~ He observes the strange mixture of their auras, but not much more than that for fear of being labelled as intrusive again.
  2532. <AboutToEatOrb> "Now, two or three should go, and I'm willing to not if you guys decide I should. Akemi could be really useful in diplomacy, so that leaves Lilith and this guy"
  2533. <SavanahHolland> They then take a sharp breath, opening they're eyes and looking on to the group, she strangely looks a little taller, though it may just be her changed posture.
  2534. <AboutToEatOrb> "I don't think that'll help anything, Akemi. Anybody object to my splitting of the group?"
  2535. <SolongStarbird> "It seems that I am best suited for the diplomacy party.... I worry about our new friends though. I do not want them to be shot...."
  2536. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith steps over before they all head apart. Taking the girl with an arm around the waist, and putting a hand on the back of her neck. She pulls her close, against herself, and proceeds to kiss her like she's almost scared it is going to be the last one. It holds for a second, and a little part of her is glad Akemi is involved somehow. Aftering breating off, she says to her, "enta
  2537. <FullMetalBitch> hayati, Wendy. Be safe." She starts to head off into the trees with a glance back to the group. "Hurry up boy," she says with a smile to Fonyx.
  2538. <Kioku> At this point, FonyX would notice that Akemi is gone.
  2539. <AboutToEatOrb> "Actually, if Wendy/Akemi can use the better stealth ability, both should stealth with a third person"
  2540. <AboutToEatOrb> FonyX follows the group
  2541. <SavanahHolland> The part of Wendy looks at Lilith with a warm smile, then looking on to the building \We should start going then..\
  2542. <Kioku> ~We'd be best suited to stealth with Lilith at this point, if they want to split.~
  2543. <SolongStarbird> "Sooo... what would you have me do?"
  2544. <FullMetalBitch> "Take the boys," Lilith says with a laugh. "The girls will do the hard work."
  2545. <AboutToEatOrb> "Well, like I said: Akemi/Wendy on sabotage, likely with Lilith, and the rest on diplomacy"
  2546. <SavanahHolland> \I am fine with whatever you think is best\ she does a little mind laugh of sorts \I've never been good with plans\
  2547. <SolongStarbird> Val laughs. "Yeah. Negotiating with armed criminals is total child's play."
  2548. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith leads the two girls made one through the brush around the facility. Trying to keep out of the shining of the lights as they look for a way to enter without causing an alarm and with some ease. She throws glances back to them every now and then but otherwise keeps quiet.
  2549. <AboutToEatOrb> "Both jobs are."
  2550. <AboutToEatOrb> "Now, how should we enter without getting shot?"
  2551. <Uracilo> Canario explains that they can't be diplomats. "They know us."
  2552. <Uracilo> He leads the spaniards to hide nearby, and help if a fight breaks out.
  2553. <SavanahHolland> They follow closely behind Lilith, giving a nod to her everytime she glances back, to assure her that they, or she is still behind her.
  2554. <Uracilo> Stealth group move to Firefighters
  2555. <SolongStarbird> "So Fony, Geshundheit.... how do you suggest we handle this? To be honest I am mortified at this point... I'm just good at hiding it."
  2556. <AboutToEatOrb> "Well, it's just us 3 then. But still, how should we approach the facility?"
  2557. <SolongStarbird> "Erm... In what way would someone not coming to negotiate arrive here?"
  2558. <AboutToEatOrb> "I... don't see how that helps."
  2559. <AboutToEatOrb> "Also, you say you're mortified?"
  2560. <SolongStarbird> "Like... these people run a business if I'm not mistaken... how would a partner or ally approach?"
  2561. <SolongStarbird> "And yes I am very scared. However, it is far better to deal with your fear than deny or ignore it."
  2562. <Uracilo> Gesundheit crosses his arms and shakes his head. "I do not understand, children. Why would you negotiate with criminals?"
  2563. <AboutToEatOrb> "Oh, I thought you said 'not'. And I assume they'd come from the road and go through the front door. And let me fix your nervousness really quick" FonyX waits a couple seconds before suddenly slapping Val, the suddenness likely far more jarring than the pain
  2564. <AboutToEatOrb> "Well, we need a distraction for the girls. Plus, if shove comes to push, we can hold hostages and/or divide their firepower."

  2566. <Uracilo> "Hostages? Firepower? Why do you act like small soldiers?"
  2567. <SolongStarbird> "Hmmm... Isn't that want is wanted of us at this point? That was the plan. Negotiate and stall while the others infiltrate?"
  2568. <SolongStarbird> Val is shocked by the slap, but refuses to be angry at Fony.
  2569. <AboutToEatOrb> "More or less. Plus, a non-violent resolution is always optimal"
  2570. <AboutToEatOrb> roll 4d3-4 This is a good idea

  2573. <SolongStarbird> ~So that's what he does...~
  2574. <AboutToEatOrb> "exactly. It's also why I'm never serious until I'm too serious"
  2575. <Uracilo> Gesundheit sighs and pulls on a few parts of his costume, extending his armor to cover the ridiculous body suit. He removes his helmet, as well, and hooks it to his belt.
  2576. <AboutToEatOrb> FonyX mind links between them
  2577. <SolongStarbird> "So we can think to each other now?"
  2578. <AboutToEatOrb> ~testing. Can you both hear me? Can you hear eachother? I've never done this before~

  2581. <Uracilo> Gesundheit makes a noncommittal noise in his mind. Then nods.
  2582. <SolongStarbird> ~Wow that is cool...~
  2583. <SolongStarbird> ~I hope my mind doesn't wander too much...~
  2584. <EndPhone> ~the key will be to be composed and to read whoever we meet~
  2585. <EndPhone> "so, what should we say when they ask why we're here?"
  2586. <SolongStarbird> ~interested in the product?~
  2587. <EndPhone> "but then we can't really turn it to 'we need you to leave', or whatever it is were exactly doing"
  2588. <SolongStarbird> ~weren't we just stalling?~
  2589. <Uracilo> "Do not be daft, child. You cannot turn a criminal good with words!" Gesundheit hisses.
  2590. <Uracilo> "You cannot make them leave their property, either, even if stolen."
  2591. <EndPhone> "that's not what I thought the suggestion was, but I guess if we focus solely on distraction. I was thinking we could propse a buisness deal."
  2592. <EndPhone> "maybe one the just can't refuse"
  2593. <SolongStarbird> ~such as?~
  2594. <EndPhone> "well, there are certain names of influence we could pull if we knew them. but I'm thinking for the base deal, we could offer them a merger, complete with bigger cliantbase and a new location

  2596. <SolongStarbird> ~okay then. You talk business. I will only speak when necessary. I am most convincing when my words are few.~
  2597. <EndPhone> -So, I'll be the face, Gad'll be the security, and Val can be..."

  2599. <SolongStarbird> "Backup? Extra power?"
  2600. <EndPhone> "I don't know. i

  2603. <EndPhone> "Well say you're here to help handle legal stuff. can you do that?"
  2604. <SolongStarbird> "Legal stuff.... these are criminals... oh... I get ya. Paperwork."
  2605. <EndPhone> "plus, all crime needs a front
  2606. <EndPhone> "let's go in"

  2609. <EndPhone> ~both of you walk behind me~ he starts going
  2610. <Uracilo> Gesundheit follows, certain that this is a terrible idea.
  2611. <SolongStarbird> Val follows behind him.
  2612. <EndPhone> ~look confident~
  2613. <SolongStarbird> Val pulls his shoulders back.
  2614. <Uracilo> The entrance to the warehouse is open, as the truck that you saw enter is still in the process of unloading merchandise. The inside is dimly lit, and many people move around, carrying boxes and such.
  2615. <SolongStarbird> ~It occurs to me that we don't exactly look like businessmen...~
  2616. <EndPhone> ~we're supposed to be working for a criminal organization, we aren't supposed to look like businessmen
  2617. <EndPhone> ~
  2618. <SolongStarbird> ~True... How will the others contact us so we know when to stop stalling?~
  2619. <EndPhone> ~we just go for as long as we can until they give word~
  2620. <EndPhone> ~at least, I hope they give word. they kinda ran off before we could plan the details~
  2621. <SolongStarbird> ~Alright then... this is your time to shine.~
  2622. <EndPhone> ~remember, tell me anything that you think can help in thought.~
  2623. <SolongStarbird> ~Of course. I'll help if you start to struggle.~

  2628. * n43541 is now known as EndPhone
  2629. <EndPhone> FonyX walks up, looking nonchalant and going at a fair pace, like he has something to go to but doesn't care about the time it takes to get there
  2630. <Uracilo> When he walks in through the open truck entrance, everyone inside turns to stare at him.
  2631. <EndPhone> FonyX ignores the people until one comes up to him, looking for an office
  2632. <SolongStarbird> ~Get to it. We have a proposition.~
  2633. <Uracilo> You do see what looks like a desk with someone behind it set to the side, but there don't seem to be any offices down here, only boxes and trucks.
  2634. <EndPhone> FonyX approaches the desk and gets the attention of the person sitting there "Hello. I'd like to see your boss about a business proposal"
  2635. <EndPhone> FonyX is about a thousand times more nervous than he looks, although he doesn't look very nervous
  2636. <Uracilo> The man recovers from his shock at seeing you enter and cracks a grin. "I am the boss, what do you want, runt?"
  2637. <SolongStarbird> Prior to arriving, Val took out the notebook and pen, scribbled down some professional looking diagrams and numbers, and tucked the pen behind his ear.
  2638. <EndPhone> "well, I was hoping we could conduct this meeting in private, considering the subjects may be a little... sensitive"
  2639. <Uracilo> "Oh, for sure, little prince. Let's head to the office, shall we?" He sneaks his arm around FonyX's shoulders, but Gesundheit pulls it off of you.
  2640. <SolongStarbird> Val has begun to observe the auras of the other workers, trying to possibly find out what it is they are shipping.
  2641. <Uracilo> "What'd you want, bodyguard," the criminal snaps at the superhero.
  2642. <EndPhone> "I apologize, but my bodyguard is a little touchy. I'm sure you can understand why that might be the case"
  2643. <SolongStarbird> Val takes the pen and scribbles another few numbers, tucking it behind his ear once more.
  2644. <Uracilo> Gesundheit remains silent, so the man turns back to FonyX. "So, let's go! I don't have all day!" He starts walking in the direction of the stairs.
  2645. <SolongStarbird> ~Aren't the girls upstairs?~
  2646. <EndPhone> FonyX looks around as he follows "quaint place you've got here. Obviously comes with flaws though" he gestures back to the desk
  2647. <Uracilo> "That's for counting the cash, twerp."
  2648. <Uracilo> He starts climbing the stairs. Behind you, a few thugs form, following behind Gesundheit.
  2649. <Uracilo> form a line*
  2650. <SolongStarbird> ~want me to take a rry at stalking a little?~
  2651. <SolongStarbird> *stalling
  2652. <EndPhone> ~I say we go with the flow~ FonyX pretends he doesn't notice the goons forming behind them ~just be ready for the guys behind us if things turn ugly~
  2653. <SolongStarbird> ~Of course.~
  2654. <Uracilo> Once they reach the second floor, the leader walks towards the offices.
  2655. <Uracilo> Lilith, Wendy, Akemi, you hear footsteps outside the offices.
  2656. <Kioku> ~We're going to need more space carrying all that. Should I jump out?~
  2657. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then nods slowly, hearing the noice from outside "We need to hide" she says quietly
  2658. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks up, then back down to the money, and then over to Wendy. "Show me a flame, hold it for me."
  2659. <SolongStarbird> Val looks around the top floor for auras.

  2661. <Uralogs> EndPhone rolled : 4d3-7 does FonyX notice the girls minds? --> [ 4d3=6 ]{-1}
  2662. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks a little confused then leaning down slightly, producing a red flame, holding it for Lilith, her breath following suit and being held much the same.

  2668. * EndPhone has quit (Client exited)
  2669. <Uracilo> Lilith, Akemi and Wendy, you notice someone is trying to get in, because they try to unlock the door that you picked.
  2670. <Kioku> Akemi slowly disentangles from Wendy, carefully separating their minds, then hops out through her back to land in a crouch. "Figures someone would come up just before we're ready to leave."
  2671. <Uracilo> With the key.
  2672. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith screams at the top of her lungs, "do not come in here or we burn everything in the safe!"
  2673. <Kioku> She slips behind a wall, relative to the door, and ducks.
  2674. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at Lilith with horror, though her flame is still bright, she then glances to Akemi, wide eyed.
  2675. <Uracilo> The boss hears the shout and slams the door open. He freezes in place when he sees where you are and what you're doing.

  2677. <Kioku> Akemi winces. "Better nobody has it, than they do."
  2678. <SolongStarbird> "So how many workers do you have here?" Val tries to stall, sweat beading on his forehead.
  2679. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith points at him, "stop moving you sucker of cocks!"
  2680. <Uracilo> he runs his hand along his waistband, clearly looking for a weapon.
  2681. <Kioku> She stands up and leans out to face the boss. "Hi~! You should think about relocating your business before your capital collapses~!"
  2682. <SolongStarbird> ~Shit.~
  2683. <Kioku> "Well... burning counts too, right~?"
  2684. * ni291187 is now known as EndPhone
  2685. <Uracilo> The thugs move forward to help the boss, but Gesundheit engages one of them before he can.
  2686. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith watches him move for a weapon, her mind searching for the strings that hold it and trying to yank it out before he has a chance.
  2687. <SolongStarbird> "You failed our security check." Val tries.
  2688. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+5 strings to grab the gun
  2689. <Uralogs> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+5 strings to grab the gun --> [ 4d3=10 ]{7}
  2690. <Uracilo> The other two thugs try to grab FonyX and Val as hostages.
  2691. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at the scene, she would have to ask what a cock was on a later date, she then looks to lilith, her voice a barely a whisper "There's a gun in my fanny pack, if you or I need to shoot, it's there."
  2692. <Uracilo> There is no weapon to be found on the man, Lilith, but you can rip out his belt if you want.

  2706. <Uracilo> "Everyone, STOP!" He shouts.
  2707. <Uracilo> His thugs stop on their tracks, taking a few steps back from the fight.
  2708. <FullMetalBitch> (are his pants around his ankles this is important)
  2709. <SolongStarbird> Val stops too, though still on guard.
  2710. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at the man, the flame in her hand growing a blood red, as if to make him think she would really do it.
  2711. <EndPhone> (do we roll initiative?)
  2712. <Uracilo> The boss stalks forward, a few steps, but backs down as Wendy's flame changes color.
  2713. <SolongStarbird> Val is ready to blast the boss if need be.
  2714. <Uracilo> "Okay, okay. What the fuck do you want, little bitch?"
  2715. <FullMetalBitch> "Please," Lilith address Akemi without addressing her by name. "Tell him what he and his company are going to do, if they do not wish to end up on our bad side."
  2716. <EndPhone> FonyX sets himself to automatically transmit full vision to Val and Gad
  2717. <Kioku> Behind the wall, out of sight to all but perhaps Wendy and Lilith, faint black wisps play along Akemi's fingers.
  2718. <Kioku> She giggles.
  2719. <SolongStarbird> ~We are already on each other's bad sides...
  2720. <SolongStarbird> ~
  2721. <SavanahHolland> Wendy almost wants to get up and set the money on fire from the way he adressed Lilith, letting the flame crackle around her hand "Don't be rude please."
  2722. <Kioku> "You operations in this area are..." She grins wickedly. "In the way of certain expansions. It would be in your best interests to move them elsewhere... or be prepared to be assimilated, consumed."
  2723. <EndPhone> ~not sure how well this standoff will end~
  2724. <Uracilo> "Oh, I see how it is. You're the baby soldiers of those spics."
  2725. <Uracilo> "Well, you can tell them their product is trash, and that the people want us, now."
  2726. <Kioku> Akemi pouts. "Do I look like a local to you?" She giggles and the grin resumes.
  2727. <Uracilo> He dips his fingers into the pile of blue powder on the desk by the door, bringing it up to his face and to his nose.
  2728. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith has seen enough hollywood movies to finally have gears turn in her head. "You are dealing drugs?! You monster!"
  2729. <Kioku> \I have no clue what that word means, but the context sounded like he meant an ethnic group. Hope I'm right.\
  2730. <EndPhone> "drop the drugs!"
  2731. <Uracilo> "If you burn that cash, I'll make you eat it, fire and all. THEN, I'll be a monster, not before. Right now, I'm a businessman!"
  2732. <Uracilo> "You can't get out of here alive, little boys and girls. There are dozens of my people in here."
  2733. <SolongStarbird> "We understand. You've just been told you need to move shop, that is all."
  2734. <SavanahHolland> The flame is Wendy's hand grows increasingly larger, the blood red letting streaks of black escape into it. She tries her best to look intemidating
  2735. <Kioku> Akemi's fingers start swirling behind the table, a small circle of black trailing from them.
  2736. <Uracilo> "Get that freak away form my money!"
  2737. <Uracilo> from*
  2738. <Kioku> It slowly turns dark, dark violet, halfway between her eyes and the night sky.
  2739. <EndPhone> FonyX attempts to link minds with all the opposition in the room, dropping his links with Val and Gad
  2740. <EndPhone> roll 4d3-4
  2741. <Uralogs> EndPhone rolled : 4d3-4 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{5}
  2742. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith throws her hands up in defeat, before dropping them back down to hold Andrea to her chest. "What do you mean when you speak of these other people and their products?"
  2743. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+2 Brain of the common thug
  2744. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+2 Brain of the common thug --> [ 4d3=6 ]{0}
  2745. <Uracilo> "The spics, natives, another group that was here a long time ago. They're dead in the ground now, why would we ever give them this territory back?"
  2746. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at Lilith, possibly a little fear comming on her face, the flame still however large is her hand, pulsing and crackling like hell fire.
  2747. <Kioku> Akemi gestures to Wendy, hoping she'd be ready to assist her, stabilize the power she's preparing to unleash.
  2748. <FullMetalBitch> "You have been given your options. I would like you to decide now, leave this place and never return. Or else." Lilith says this with as much weight a small arabic girl holding a teddy bear can muster.
  2749. <Uracilo> "I swear to god, little girl. If you keep it up with the threats, I will use you as parts for my truck. Do you understand me, or do you noo spick englisch?"
  2750. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances towards Wendy, then Akemi. "Burn it."
  2751. <EndPhone> "I'd listen if I were you. if that money burns, who's to say what burns with it?"
  2752. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods to Akemi knowingly, then staring at the man who had just threatened Lilith, if she ever looked like she was going to murder, she would, then waiting for akemi's action
  2753. <SavanahHolland> (* be doing it now)
  2754. <EndPhone> ~I want to burn this place anyways~
  2755. <Uracilo> The man lunges forward as Lilith speaks her orders.
  2756. <Kioku> Akemi slips backward toward Wendy, presenting her back to the girl and arching it, drawing in power and having her skin shimmer, even though her nature doesn't reveal itself. She stares at the boss, but something about the stare is... mindbending, perhaps, is the best word.
  2757. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+9 Heartbreak for Psyche damage (Overdrive) (Assisted)
  2758. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+9 Heartbreak for Psyche damage (Overdrive) (Assisted) --> [ 4d3=7 ]{8}
  2759. <SavanahHolland> Wendy touches Akemi's shoulder, hoping it'll work, looking to Lilith behind her, making sure the girl stays safe.
  2760. <EndPhone> FonyX sees the man lunge and deals a Mindshock to the whole group
  2761. <EndPhone> roll 4d3-4
  2762. <Uralogs> EndPhone rolled : 4d3-4 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{2}

  2764. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+3 Brain of the boss thug --> [ 4d3=10 ]{5}
  2765. <SolongStarbird> Just to assure that the boss stays down, Val fires a blast into his back along with Akemis heartbreak.
  2766. <Uracilo> The boss stumbles, catching the desk with his hand. He lifts a cloud of blue powder accidentaly, and Akemi sneezes as it goes up her nose.
  2767. <SolongStarbird> roll 4d3-8+4
  2768. <Uralogs> SolongStarbird rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{5}

  2770. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+2 Brawn of the boss thug --> [ 4d3=7 ]{1}
  2771. <Uracilo> The boss falls to the ground as Val blasts him in the back. His forehead smacks into the floor with a crack.
  2772. <Uracilo> The rest of the thugs flinch and hold their heads, distracted by FonyX's brain pinch.
  2773. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then grabs Akemi's arm slowly, having seen the blue power move to the girl's face, she says a little panicked "Akemi..?"
  2774. <SolongStarbird> The color drains from Val's face. ~Did that just kill him?~
  2775. <EndPhone> FonyX is really thankful that mindshocking multiple targets isn't any more strenuous than 1
  2776. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+6 Don't breathe!
  2777. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+6 Don't breathe! --> [ 4d3=8 ]{6}

  2779. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+5 miracles in the air --> [ 4d3=6 ]{3}
  2780. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith reaches over and pulls the pistol out of Wendy's fanny pack. Her finger flips to the safety and she racks the slide. It's not perfect, but her father taught her well enough at the range. "Now you will all stop! We do not wish to harm anyone!"
  2781. <Uracilo> The powder seems to be contained slightly by the dampness of the room. it hangs in a cloud around the collapsed thug, but doesn't carry far enough to be inhaled by anyone.
  2782. <Uracilo> The gun is very heavy, Lilith has a hard time holding it, even with both hands.
  2783. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stares at Lilith with the gun, her face filled with suprise, and possibly laced with worry, she then steps back slowly.
  2784. <EndPhone> "So, now we gotta burn this place down. Somebody want to grab him?" FonyX points at the fallen man
  2785. <Uracilo> The thugs hold their hands up above their heads as Lilith points it at them.
  2786. <Uracilo> At that moment, the hispanic teens make their entrance onto the second floor following a short scuffle below.
  2787. <Kioku> Akemi smiles to them and waves, holding Wendy close.
  2788. <Uracilo> "Looks like you took care of it." Says Canario, impressed.
  2789. <FullMetalBitch> "You will take your injured friend to the truck, and then leave. Never to return!" Lilith raises her voice as she tries to keep the gun level, "got it!"
  2790. <SolongStarbird> Val's eyes are huge. "Did I kill him?..."
  2791. <Uracilo> The thugs nod, and move forward to grab their boss by the pant leg. They manage to drag him out, but not before giving you a view of the guy's ass.
  2792. <SavanahHolland> Wendy starts breathing a faster, the flame dying ever so slightly in her hand, fading back to a normal red, with crackles of orange in it's depths.
  2793. <Uracilo> You take 1 psyche damage.
  2794. <FullMetalBitch> "Burn the money," Lilith says as she looks over to Wendy. "It is tainted with the cruelty of man."
  2795. <SolongStarbird> Val lets out a sigh of relief.
  2796. <EndPhone> "okay. Now we loot what we want before burning this place down"
  2797. <Uracilo> The englishmen quickly vacate the premises, and the building becomes echo-y and strangely creepy.
  2798. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith steps away from her and follows the men to ensure they make it to the truck and leave.
  2799. <SolongStarbird> "I thought I killed him..."
  2800. <Uracilo> Canario steps forward to stop Wendy. "Stop! We need that money, right? To help the people they hurt? Don't burn it!"
  2801. <Kioku> Akemi blinks at Canario. "It /would/ be the best use... and poetically just..."
  2802. <SavanahHolland> Wendy's breath catches, not knowing what to do, she looks up to Akemi, her eyes confused, then looking to Lilith.
  2803. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith comes back after seeing the men off and ensuring they are gone. Looking around to see what happened downstairs, before heading back up.
  2804. <SolongStarbird> "Is that it?"
  2805. <EndPhone> FonyX begins searching the room for stuff he might want
  2806. <Uracilo> There's a lot of boxes, but not much else.
  2807. <Uracilo> If you've got something specific in mind you're looking for you can roll to try and find it.
  2808. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith approaches the boy who can actually speak, "you are selling drugs?! You are making your little brother sell drugs? He is a child! What is your problem?!" She starts to raise her voice and gesture with the gun.
  2809. <Kioku> "So... guess we don't need to pull out the hard drives after all. And I was looking forward to a good stealth-only adventure!" Akemi giggles.
  2810. <EndPhone> roll 4d3-0 is there American money?
  2811. <Uralogs> EndPhone rolled : 4d3-0 is there American money? --> [ 4d3=6 ]{6}
  2812. <Uracilo> "What? Sell drugs, us?" Canario looks weirded out. "Not us!"
  2813. <SolongStarbird> Val sits down, "I'm just happy that I was helpful."
  2814. <SavanahHolland> Wendy leans into Akemi, trying to squeeze her eyes shut, at the point just wanting to leave.
  2815. <EndPhone> "yes you were. I was hoping this would be more climactic though"
  2816. <Uracilo> FonyX, you find a stack of american dollars down in the loading bay, but there isn't a lot.
  2817. <Uracilo> Probably just under a thousand.
  2818. <EndPhone> (950$?)
  2819. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks over the three new spaniard friends. "If we have to come back here, because you mistreat that boy. If we so much as hear you raise a hand against him. If you do not give him a normal, perfect, life. Full of your love. Send him to school, let him see the world. If he cries out for help and we return here, know it will not end well for you." She stops right in front of
  2820. <FullMetalBitch> him, looking up at him. "Promise me this?"
  2821. <Kioku> Akemi wraps her arms around Wendy, hugging her closely. "We helped them. Nobody got seriously hurt." \And we let them go... they can poison and hurt more people. We shouldn't have let them go. I'll find them again some day to right this.\
  2822. <Uracilo> "What are you talking about? Why would we hurt Elbio? He's practically my brother, and definitely Caraeleón's."
  2823. <EndPhone> FonyX goes and grabs the rations Lilith threw out and sets the money into 6 equal piles
  2824. <SavanahHolland> Wendy burys her face into Akemi's side, just trying to stay calm, who was she kidding acting brave, she was scared beyond all else. She doesn't say much other than a muffled "ok"
  2825. <FullMetalBitch> "Then it will be no problem," Lilith says as she drops back to her feet. "You may have the deed to the building. But you must destroy these evil drugs. Do you understand?"
  2826. <Uracilo> "Look, just, thanks? You helped us."
  2827. <Uracilo> "We are grateful."
  2828. <Kioku> \Well, we didn't have much use for a warehouse in Spain anyway. Not right now.\ Akemi nods in agreement with Lilith.
  2829. <FullMetalBitch> "Good." Lilith says and she turns to their Kindergarten teacher. "Call your Zepp friend. We are going to go home. Someone find a bag to put the money in, Gessundheit will use it for his orginization."
  2830. <Uracilo> Gesundheit steps forward, placing a hand on Lilith's shoulder. "We must be leaving soon. Gather everyone."
  2831. <SolongStarbird> Val remains silent the rest of the mission, grateful that he isn't a killer.
  2832. <FullMetalBitch> (owned beat you)
  2833. <FullMetalBitch> Val gets stuck with money bag bitch duty.
  2834. <Uracilo> (consider me owned)
  2835. <Uracilo> (And ninja'd)
  2836. <EndPhone> "well, I'm done looting"
  2837. <Kioku> Akemi looks up toward Gesundeheit. "If it helps in any way, I'm sorry you were forced to participate in violence, no matter how good the intentions or brief the altercation."
  2838. <SolongStarbird> Val nods.
  2839. <Uracilo> "Kindergarten is a non-profit! We cannot take drug money. Leave it here, I will call the authorities."
  2840. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith digs her plastic bag out of her backpack and takes a moment to check on Wendy. Giving her a quick peck on the cheek, and making sure she gets her own bag out to hold.
  2841. <Kioku> Akemi pauses a beat, then shouts "Wait!"
  2842. <Uracilo> He sighs. "You children are a lot more violent than I expected, but I can see why. This is a bad world for children."
  2843. <Kioku> Akemi stares intently at the two Spanish-only speaking brothers.
  2844. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then removes her head from Akemi's side looking over to Lilith, then walking to the girl, brushing Lilith's arm slowly to peer around to the girls face, then leaning in "Are you alright..?" she then takes out her own plastic bag slowly, with a sigh.
  2845. <Kioku> "Quieres ser mi amigo?" She asks, with intensity.
  2846. <Kioku> \Maybe he changed his mind?\
  2847. <Uracilo> The little boy nods, but Caraeleón only follows after Canario gives him a look.
  2848. <Uracilo> He gives you a curt nod and a forced smile that looks like someone's pointing a gun at him.
  2849. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith gives Wendy a quick nod and stands next to her, holding Andrea in between her arms and holding the bag in her hands. The gun has dissapeared somewhere into her room as she was messing around.
  2850. <Kioku> Akemi gets a bright grin and takes out her bag, now ready.
  2851. <FullMetalBitch> into her bag*
  2852. <SolongStarbird> Val follows suit.
  2853. <EndPhone> "I'm ready" FonyX says without grabbing a bag
  2854. <Uracilo> "Your bag." Points out Gesundheit. "I cannot call in for us to be sent over if you are not holding a bag."
  2855. <EndPhone> "fine" FonyX takes it out
  2856. <Uracilo> Gesundheit taps his helmet, which he has replaced onto his head, and calls for Zeppelin. A few moments later, the now expected feeling overtakes you, and you find yourselves standing withi nthe courtyard of the school. Guards stand in a circle around you, with their flamethrower-like contraptions.
  2857. <Uracilo> Once they ascertain that you are okay, they disperse slightly, and one offers to guide you all to your debriefing.
  2858. <SavanahHolland> Wendy gasps again, her head slightly dizzer than last time, she then looks to Lilith, hoping the girl is ok this time around.
  2859. * SolongStarbird has quit (Ping timeout: 183 seconds)
  2860. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith is still, very, very much not used to this and bends over at the waist. Expelling only water and some rations she ate along the way onto the ground.
  2861. <Uracilo> The guards give Lilith a wide berth after that.
  2862. <SavanahHolland> Wendy quickly walks over to the girl, holding her hair back again and rubbing the girl's back slowly with a worried expression.
  2863. <EndPhone> FonyX immediately puts his bag away before clutching his head as though it would reorient himself before heading to the debrief
  2864. <Kioku> Akemi sways in place a little and puts the bag away again, taking a few deep breaths.
  2865. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith offers her bag to the man, and thanks Wendy for her care before she stumbles after the group to the debriefing.
  2866. <SavanahHolland> Wendy follows next to her, tapping Lilith shoulder and whispering to the girl "Once we are dismissed.. can I try something?" she half blushes
  2867. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith shuffles her bag in front of them as they walk, pulling out the pistol and using her sweater to quickly cover it and tuck it into the waist band of her skirt. Safety on of course.
  2868. <Kioku> Akemi takes off her backpack and sets it on the ground before going over to Lilith and Wendy. Hopefully not uninvitedly, but... she'll leave if she's unwanted.
  2869. <Kioku> The events start catching up with her.
  2870. <Uracilo> The guard walks through the halls, heading for the administative building. Gesundheit wals right next to him, and they chat.
  2871. <FullMetalBitch> As they get to the debriefing room she voluntarily gives up the euros but asks the guards to "please use this for the softball team equipment?" She then puts her stuff back into her own backpack and slings it back over her shoulders and makes sure Andrea is ready to go. Holding him lower on herself in front of her waist. She heads back over to Wendy, a smile on her face, "I am hoping
  2872. <FullMetalBitch> to go shower and lay down. I am not feeling well. Would you join me?"
  2873. <FullMetalBitch> (void the speech part) "Of course Miss Wendy."
  2874. <Uracilo> Gesundheit argues that he can give the report by himself, and frees you all to do whatever you want.
  2875. <Uracilo> He takes the backpacks with him, though.
  2876. <Kioku> Akemi glances away, nods to Gesundheit, and turns in preparation to leave.
  2877. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes, then slowly wraps her arms around Lilith, pulling her up into her hold, bridal style like the man had done on the begining of the mission, ready to carry Lilith where ever, she gives a small wink to Lilith, though her face is still blushing.
  2878. <Uracilo> A guard does carry the money Lilith give her, but she says it'll be held until the report is finalized in case it needs to be used for evidence.
  2879. <EndPhone> FonyX tries to catch each of them privately and gives them their 1/6 (147$) of the money discreetly
  2880. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith smiles and offers it easily after getting her own back and her stuff. She is surprised to be pulled up off the ground and starts to giggle uncontrollably. "You are such a romantic," she says in between bouts. She wraps her arms around the girl's neck and leans up to give her a kiss.
  2881. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles at Lilith, kissing her on the lips, then after a few moments pulling away, her face completely red but using her strength to hold lilith up easily.
  2882. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith laughs, genuine. "Now set me down, I do not want to go through the courtyard carried so gracefully dressed like this." She says it nice, and leans up to give her a quick kiss to cement it. Ah, young love.
  2883. <Uracilo> -Scene Spained-
  2884. <Kioku> Akemi wanders off to consider the implications of today's events. She's going to be... alone... for a while.
  2885. <Kioku> For the record: <Uracilo> Gold said 3xp and 650 bucks

  2907. * SirGoldFish (~LordGoldF@D0FF5D0A:F7D1895E:8A243AD6:IP) has joined
  2908. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith makes her way over to the gate after making sure with Miss Leurgans it's alright. She didn't have to go to class that week after her latest incident, so she had been spending her time busy with helping her. Maybe she's just feeling bright that day, but her headscarf is a wonderful mixture of sky blue, gold, and white that she has complimented with her makeup. The perks of not
  2909. <FullMetalBitch> having to rush to class in the morning. Andrea is held to her chest as usually, the little bear looking around with some excitement at getting to go out on an adventure. Heck, he's even dressed for the occasion with a spunky little red scarf and a safari hat. She... She had a lot of time this morning and did not want to address the mountain of math homework piling up on her desk.
  2910. <SavanahHolland> Wendy and Akemi walk up to the gate together, the obviously dulled down cold was getting to Wendy's senses, even though it take much more to make her really cold, she didn't plan on taking that chance and this time is wearing a pale beige scarf.
  2911. <Kioku> \I don't recognize her. But soon, she'll recognize me. Right, Wendy?\ Akemi turns her head to smile to Wendy and gives her arm a reassuring squeeze. They can make it through anything together, so this should be fine, right?
  2912. <Uracilo> Ju lets his project fall onto his bed. Sewing with gloves is a challenge, made even more difficult by inexperience, but he's got enough cloth to keep trying for a while. He puts on his shoes and slaps on whatever protection from the elements he can find in his closet, then heads down to meet whoever's meant to brief them. When he sees Lilith walk by he reaches into his pocket to pull out the hair ties, but then he sees the other
  2913. <Uracilo> girls and thinks better of it.
  2914. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles back at Akemi, giving a slight nod, then turning to see Lilith and giving the girl a smile, wanting to come up and hug her but doesn't want to make a scene, she'll have to do it later anyways.
  2915. <SirGoldFish> The woman glares at the 4 of you. "Is this all the agents that will be coming?"
  2916. <Kioku> Akemi raises an eyebrow and looks around. "The announcement said two to four. You got four."
  2917. <Uracilo> "Agents? If you wanna call me that, you're gonna have to give me a salary."
  2918. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances over to see Akemi and Wendy together, then off to the side to see Kimmy. Whether it's malice towards the two girls, wanting to check up on Kimmy, or just pairing off. She walks over and stands next to Kimmy and leaves the two to their apparent day together.
  2919. <Kioku> \Why would she complain about not having enough when she got the maximum amount she asked for?\
  2920. <SirGoldFish> "You work for us. You're agents."
  2921. <SirGoldFish> "Okay," The woman starts her speech. "For this assignment you agents will have to purposefully get captured by The Bureau as class C adolescent humanoid anomalies. You # agents will be put on one of The Bureau's many underground trains. Your job is to secure the payload of humanoid anomalies and to stop the train so we can bring them in. To accomplish this you will be provided with pills, developed by the brilliant Mr. Wells,
  2922. <SirGoldFish> that will counteract the drug cocktail normally given to humanoids such as you agents. There will be a double agent guards, codename Sparrow and Raven who will be helping you as much as they can. Sparrow will allow you to smuggle in a tiny amount of equipment. One of you will be given a stimulus shot which will allow you to awaken a person sleeping from the drug induced sleep. Any questions?"
  2923. <FullMetalBitch> "Do not align us with your wars, do not call us 'agents'" Lilith answers the woman. Hugging Lilith tight.
  2924. <FullMetalBitch> Andrea*
  2925. <FullMetalBitch> (im drunk)
  2926. <SavanahHolland> Wendy puffs her cheeks slightly, glancing over to Lilith and Ju, if anyone were to notice you'd think she took a step closer to Lilith, still with Akemi, but it would be hard to tell.
  2927. <SirGoldFish> "Then leave." She says sharply to Lilith.
  2928. <Uracilo> "You asked for volunteers, that's what you get. If you want to have us work for you, I wanna see a contract."
  2929. <Kioku> Akemi's eyes widen. "We're rescuing" \new friends\ "others like us?"
  2930. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks slightly suprised at the woman, taking another small step next to Lilith, then giving the woman a slight glare.
  2931. <SirGoldFish> "Yes, they are many others like you and they need to be saved." She ignores Ju's prodding.
  2932. <Kioku> Akemi, feeling the tugs on her arm, lets go of Wendy, glances to her, and nods toward Lilith.
  2933. <Kioku> It's more of a quick headtilt than a nod really.
  2934. <SirGoldFish> *you 4.
  2935. <SirGoldFish> "Any further questions or shall we get on with the mission?"
  2936. <SavanahHolland> When Akemi lets go Wendy glances to the girl, then making a few steps closer to Lilith's side, hoping to take the girls hand, she then looks back to Akemi with a smile, somewhat waving her over, she would ask where exactly they were going, but the woman perhaps said it and she didn't hear.
  2937. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances over to Wendy and smiles at her. She reaches over and brushes her hand against the back of Wendy's hand, but doesn't take it. Instead returning the arm to cross over Andrea and hold him to her chest.
  2938. <SirGoldFish> "I recommend leaving any possessions on the the car. Those will likely be taken during the trade."
  2939. <Kioku> Akemi sighs. "Well, it'd look pretty strange if I were unarmed, if they've ever heard of me... but I should reduce the weapon count to one or two that I don't mind losing, I guess."
  2940. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks towards Kimmy, "you should take the shot."
  2941. <SavanahHolland> Wendy lets out a soft sigh, having to leave her knife would only make the mission much harder, but she wasn't planning to get it taken away just yet, she looks to Lilith with a smile, though she has a little disappointment in her eyes.
  2942. <Uracilo> Ju shakes his head. "I won't need it. I can do the same thing with my powers. It's better someone else does, if I understood her correctly."
  2943. <SirGoldFish> "All your equipment will be taken by Bureau guards. You'll only be able to smuggle what we give you."
  2944. <Kioku> She shrugs, reaches under her skirt, and unstraps the needle sheaths from her thigs. Then all four knives from near her ankles. "Easier to get it off now!"
  2945. <Kioku> *thighs
  2946. <SirGoldFish> The woman looks at the knives. "Heh, impressive collection."
  2947. <Kioku> \I wonder if they'll manage to find the hidden pocket in the back of my skirt, and its knife...\
  2948. <FullMetalBitch> "What are you giving us then?" Lilith asks with some curiosity. "Besides the pills."
  2949. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and winks. "A lady amid the unknown should be well armed."
  2950. <SirGoldFish> "besides the stimpack. One of you will receive a stun grenade upon request"
  2951. <FullMetalBitch> "I would like one," Lilith says quickly.
  2952. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks up to the woman, following Lilith quickness but a little behind "Can i have one?" she asks as a question, but doesn't care for the answer, just the grenade would be good enough.
  2953. <SirGoldFish> "Sadly, only one has been afforded for this assignments."
  2954. <Kioku> Akemi makes her way over to the rest of the group, fiddling with a knife and only mildly uncomfortable being so ill-equipped.
  2955. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip, then shaking her head "Then let Lilith have it."
  2956. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances over towards Wendy, then back to the woman. "Wendy will take the stop then."
  2957. <SirGoldFish> "the stop?"
  2958. <FullMetalBitch> (shot)
  2959. <FullMetalBitch> (sorry drunk)
  2960. <SirGoldFish> "Is that the group's consensus?"
  2961. * SavanahHolland has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  2962. <Uracilo> "Sure, I don't need either."
  2963. <Kioku> Akemi glances to the rest of the group, and nods her agreement.
  2964. * SavanahHolland (~SavanahHo@synIRC-E92B0FE6.hsd1.tn.comcast.net) has joined
  2965. <SirGoldFish> (Alright, so at the start of the mission. Akemi: Stim shot, Wendy: Stim shot, and Lilith: Stun grenade?)
  2966. <FullMetalBitch> (there's two shots?!)
  2967. <FullMetalBitch> (also yes)
  2968. <SirGoldFish> (Yup, that is what was said.)
  2969. <Uracilo> (One of you will be given a stimulus shot which will allow you to awaken a person sleeping from the drug induced sleep.)
  2970. <SirGoldFish> "Okay, so everyone get in the armored car. When you get to the trade, swallow the pill. You should awaken in the train within seemingly moments.
  2971. <Kioku> Akemi starts putting what she removed from her person into her satchel, then takes the satchel off.
  2972. <SirGoldFish> "A guard will take that to the office for you to pick up when you return."
  2973. <Kioku> "Will they be strip-searching us, do you think?"
  2974. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods in agreement, then thinking it would be best to take off her fannypack, she moves her hand to unstrap it, holding it with ease, dispite it's many contents.
  2975. <SirGoldFish> "Very likely. You'll be put in jumpsuits."
  2976. <Kioku> \I really want to see if they can find the pocket. Hehe!\
  2977. <Kioku> Akemi frowns, sighs, and reaches under her skirt in the back to take out another knife, seemingly from nowhere.
  2978. <Uracilo> Ju hands over his switchblade/pocketcomb
  2979. <SirGoldFish> The guard is almost overwhelmed with all stuff he is taking. "Eh, anything else?"
  2980. <SavanahHolland> Lucky for Wendy, everything was in her fannypack! How she fits all that stuff in there, you have no clue, she hands the guard the fannypack.
  2981. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith gives Andrea a tight hug, and switches out her headscarf for a plain black one she keeps in her backpack. She tucks him away in the backpack, but not before he can wave goodbye to Wendy of course. There is always a quick moment where she takes off the necklace Wendy gave her her and gives it to Andrea to keep track of. She hands the backpack over, Andrea's head poking out the
  2982. <FullMetalBitch> top.
  2983. <Kioku> Akemi hums to herself, thinks for a couple of moments, then gets a look of realization. "I forgot about these!" She takes two more throwing needles out of... her hair.
  2984. <SirGoldFish> Westhart rolls her eyes at the guard's weakness.
  2985. <Kioku> "Okay, I /think/ that's everything from me."
  2986. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles at Andrea, giving him a small wave, then looking back to Lilith, her hand then again searching to hold Lilith's.
  2987. <SirGoldFish> "Okay, age- students. Get in the armored car. So you can begin your assignment."
  2988. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith takes the girl's hand in return, waiting to get on with it. She gives the woman a quick, "thank you," at the proper title before tugging Wendy towards the car.
  2989. <Uracilo> Ju does so without protest beyond a sigh.
  2990. <Kioku> Akemi glances toward Ju and mouths, 'Kimmy?' to him before heading for the car as well.
  2991. <Uracilo> Ju pretends to not notice the gesture.
  2992. <SavanahHolland> Wendy follows behind Lilith, being tugged along, making sure that Ju and Akemi are right behind them.
  2993. <SirGoldFish> (Alright, wanna socialize or just get on with the mission?)
  2994. <FullMetalBitch> (I only need one thing)
  2995. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith makes sure to hold Wendy and pull her in for an almost more than PG-13 kiss and a quick re-confession of her love and will for her to be safe.
  2996. <SirGoldFish> What happens next is a blur that only seems to take less than 20 minutes. One moment there are people pretending to be your parents turning you into a group of shadowy men who inject you, the next moment you're tied to a medical bed with men in white lab coats looking over you, prodding your outsides with various tools, the next moment you're being processed through a lineup where a man puts you into a jumpsuit, gives you what
  2997. <SirGoldFish> little equipment you're allowed, and says "Sorry." as he injects you with another shot. Normally, this would be the end of your tale, but that's when Dr. Well's pill kicks in and you all wake up in a rather strange predicament.
  2998. <SirGoldFish> The group is being held in a small, cold, pitch black room an odd metallic taste in all your mouths. You are held just above the ground by electronic restraints.
  2999. <Uracilo> "So... What now?"
  3000. <SavanahHolland> Wendy takes a sharp breath, her mind dizzy, her thoughts cluttered and horribly hazy, she echos to herself to try to produce a flame, her eyes close shut, the feeling of trying in this state making her sick to her core, and her arms limp, she tries to produce a white flame, but more so a glow than anything, the flame balled up in her fist.
  3001. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith is still very, very much out from the drugs. Though it's better for her that way, the process was not exactly kind to her mental state.
  3002. <SirGoldFish> Wendy! You are able to create white flame! The light reveals two sleeping individuals tied to harnesses much like you. One them is a young boy who's skin is covered in bees, you're barely able to make out his eyes. The other individual looks like a small girl, maybe 8 or 10 with one giant eye in the center of her face.
  3003. <Kioku> Akemi lets out a long breath, and glances around once Wendy's light shows their surroundings.
  3004. <Uracilo> Ju's aura rejuvenates the group's mind state as it worsens his own a tad.
  3005. <Kioku> She glances at the restraints, bares her teeth, and tries to spirit-form jump out of them, to the space ahead.
  3006. <SirGoldFish> (Roll to spirit jump out of them)!
  3007. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+4
  3008. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+4 --> [ 4d3=10 ]{6}
  3009. <SirGoldFish> No contest, you manage to slip out of the harness restraints.
  3010. <Uracilo> Ju struggles with his own, trying to use the wall as leverage and maybe flip himself to disrupt the restraints.
  3011. <SavanahHolland> Wendy is going to try to well.. punch her hands out of her restraints..
  3012. <SirGoldFish> Give me a strength or speed roll diff 5.
  3013. <Kioku> Akemi turns to put a hand on Wendy's cheek. "I'll get you out." Then she moves to check on Lilith.
  3014. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+8
  3015. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+8 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{6}
  3016. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+7
  3017. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{7}
  3018. <SirGoldFish> Wendy stronk and manages to get out of the restraints. Upon looking at the restraints you all notice what appears to be acid burns on them...
  3019. <SirGoldFish> Ju is also stronk.
  3020. <SirGoldFish> And manages to get out.
  3021. <SavanahHolland> Wendy grimaces at the sight then shuffling over to Lilith quickly, next to Akemi.
  3022. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks down at Akemi and gives her a smile, waiting for the two strongs to let her down.
  3023. <Kioku> Akemi runs a hand over Lilith's hair, and looks to Wendy. "I'm glad you made it out. Can you Protect her, and burn off the restraints afterward?"
  3024. <FullMetalBitch> "I am sorry, my hair is a mess. I did not think I would be taking off my headscarf today." She says in a hushed tone.
  3025. <Uracilo> Ju walks over to Lilith and takes one of her restrained hands. "Don't use heat, you'll burn her."
  3026. <Kioku> "That's why I suggested protecting her first."
  3027. <Kioku> Akemi rolls her eyes.
  3028. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Akemi then to Ju, shaking her head "No, I can protect her from that at least" then pulling a hand on Liliths cheek.
  3029. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+4 Protection, bich
  3030. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+4 Protection, bich --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  3031. <SirGoldFish> Yup, you manage to protect her from the heat.
  3032. <SirGoldFish> (If you wanna help her down roll. Everyperson helping counts as an +1 to Lilith's roll.)
  3033. <FullMetalBitch> (im not rolling what)
  3034. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip, then trying to produce a blue blowtorch to free Lilith from her bonds.
  3035. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7
  3036. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{5}
  3037. <Kioku> Akemi rubs Wendy's back, trying to feed her power and focus her to help.
  3038. <SirGoldFish> (That works as well.) Wendy you burn off the restraints keeping Lilith there!
  3039. <SirGoldFish> Painlessly, I should add.
  3040. <SavanahHolland> Wendy quickly pulls Lilith down by the waist, setting her down to stand.
  3041. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith drops to the floor and stretches, she's quite sore. She looks over to the other two in the car with them, then around it. She takes a minute to lean over and peck Wendy on the cheek before she steps around the car to stretch her legs.
  3042. <Kioku> Akemi lets out a sigh, looking over the others in Wendy's firelight.
  3043. <Uracilo> "Okay, we need to rescue these people, but I don't know if it's a good idea to wake them up before knowing how we're getting out of here.
  3044. <Uracilo> "*
  3045. <SirGoldFish> (I should add the room is about 7x7 feet)
  3046. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes at the peck on the cheek, then slowly walking over to the small girl with a eye on her face, leaning down to make sure she's fine.
  3047. <SirGoldFish> She looks okay. She may be in a comatose induced sleep, but she looks fine.
  3048. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith tries to find a door to the room, "if they start to make too much noise. You can calm them, yes?" She addresses the room, none of the other three in particular.
  3049. <Kioku> Akemi nods. "Hai."
  3050. <SirGoldFish> The room you're in... the walls are smooth metal all around.
  3051. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks backs back to the group with a nod, still leaning next to the girl "Should we wake the other people up?"
  3052. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith dows the next logical thing. Checks the roof and the floor for access points.
  3053. <Uracilo> "I can wake them up. Don't waste the shot."
  3054. <Kioku> \The sooner we start talking to them...\ "Wouldn't be much of a rescue otherwise." She smiles to Ju.
  3055. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then focuses on Ju, backing up slightly but still leaning down next to the little girl's torso.
  3056. <SirGoldFish> Smooth even on the floor and ceiling, but the group does begin to hear knocking one of the sides of the metal room.
  3057. <FullMetalBitch> does*
  3058. <Kioku> Akemi jumps and goes to that side, knocking back. She doesn't even consider it may be a bad idea.
  3059. <SirGoldFish> There is a knock back. and Akemi can hear a muffled male voice say. "It's me, Raven. I'm gonna get you out. Hold tight."
  3060. <Kioku> "Should we stand away from the wall?"
  3061. <SirGoldFish> "Does not matter."
  3062. <Kioku> Akemi smiles and looks to her friends - err, 'fellow agents.' ... Nope, can't think of them that way. Doesn't work.
  3063. <Uracilo> Ju touches the little girl and wakes her first, a little weirded out by the bees.
  3064. <SirGoldFish> Ju, roll to try and wake her up. Diff 3
  3065. <SavanahHolland> Wendy makes sure to ready her power, if needed, in case the poor girl freaks out.
  3066. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+6 overload Response Control
  3067. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+6 overload Response Control --> [ 4d3=8 ]{6}
  3068. <Kioku> Akemi hurries over to Ju, but gets there barely too late.
  3069. <SirGoldFish> The girl gasps as she is awoken. He large blue eye looking over her soundings. The girl is practically shuddering she's so scared.
  3070. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+5 calm down
  3071. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+5 calm down --> [ 4d3=6 ]{3}
  3072. <Kioku> Akemi leans over to look at the girl. "Don't worry. We're friendly."
  3073. <Kioku> "We're going to help you get safe."
  3074. <SirGoldFish> (What is Wendy trying to do?)
  3075. <SavanahHolland> (Use liberation to calm her down, make her actually feel safe)
  3076. <SirGoldFish> "Wha what's what's going on? Where am I?"
  3077. <SirGoldFish> The girl eeps out
  3078. <Kioku> Akemi puts a hand on the girl's cheek and smiles. "You're on a train. But we're going to get you out, some place safe. Don't worry."
  3079. <Uracilo> Ju pokes her on the forehead, trying to distract her from her worries and use his power to calm her down some.
  3080. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+9 persuade
  3081. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+9 persuade --> [ 4d3=8 ]{9}
  3082. <SavanahHolland> Wendy takes a small sigh, knowing her attempt had failed, but luckily the girl wasn't screaming, that was always a bonus. She then moves back, tilting her head to find Lilith in the room.
  3083. <SirGoldFish> (Roll diff 2 to calm her down, Ju.) The girl closes her eye, calmed down, but still a little worried. "Okay..."
  3084. <SirGoldFish> (Well, calm her down further.)
  3085. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+4 Response Control
  3086. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+4 Response Control --> [ 4d3=10 ]{6}
  3087. <Uracilo> He takes the time to also make her a little more pliable and loyal at the same time. A little more likely to do what they say to do, and not wander off.
  3088. <SirGoldFish> The girl takes a deep breath and gives Ju and Akemi a small smile of gratitude.
  3089. <Kioku> "I'd like you to tell me something, please. Are you afraid of bees?"
  3090. <SirGoldFish> (Roll to make her pliable and loyal. Diff 4 Akemi can help you in this roll)
  3091. <SirGoldFish> "Not really... why?" She asks Akemi.
  3092. <Kioku> Akemi tilts her head and nods to the girl's side, where the other, still sleeping person is.
  3093. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks at the girl, thinking "What do you last remember?"
  3094. <SirGoldFish> She closes her one eye, thinking. "I was in the dark place my parents put me and then a bright light flashed... someone stuck me with a needle and now I'm here.
  3095. <SavanahHolland> Wendy takes a small sigh, looking down at the little girl "What's your name?"
  3096. <SirGoldFish> "Suzy..."
  3097. <SavanahHolland> "Alright Suzy, were going to get you out of here"
  3098. <SavanahHolland> (Is she tied down like everyone is was?)
  3099. <SirGoldFish> "Am I gonna go back to the dark place?" (Yes, she's restrained like everyone else was.)
  3100. <Kioku> Akemi takes Wendy's hand and squeezes. She shakes her head. \She'll probably be a student with us, right?\ "No... no, we won't let that happen to you."
  3101. <SavanahHolland> Wendy shakes her head "No you're safe now."
  3102. <SavanahHolland> She then looks to Akemi "Can you help me? I want to get her out."
  3103. <SirGoldFish> She nods along. "Okay, thank you very much."
  3104. <Kioku> Akemi nods, hugs Wendy, and pushes power into her again, igniting her spirit. Well. More than already. (Lending Hand, go!)
  3105. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7 Liberation, protecting her from flames kinda deal
  3106. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 Liberation, protecting her from flames kinda deal --> [ 4d3=6 ]{5}
  3107. <SirGoldFish> Yup, small embers go into the girl's chest. Protecting her from fire.
  3108. <SavanahHolland> Wendy says to the little girl "Keep your eye closed for a minute." to make sure she doesn't get scared from the flame.
  3109. <SirGoldFish> She closes her eye.
  3110. <Kioku> Akemi puts a hand on Ju's arm, and pulls slightly. "We need to help the other one too."
  3111. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7 Blowtorch the girl out!
  3112. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 Blowtorch the girl out! --> [ 4d3=6 ]{5}
  3113. <Uracilo> Ju sighs and places his hand on the bees, slowly, his power warning him of any danger from them. He touches the man beneath the layer of insects and tries to wake him.
  3114. <SirGoldFish> Yup! You're easily able to burn off her restraints, but the girl falls to her knees. "Wah!"
  3115. <SirGoldFish> Alright, diff 3 to wake him up.
  3116. <SavanahHolland> Wendy is going to grab the girl before she can fall down
  3117. <Kioku> Naturally, Akemi ignites his spirit, flooding him with spare power for a few moments as he touches him.
  3118. <SirGoldFish> Wendy catches the girl before she falls. "Ah! Thanks..."
  3119. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks down at her, still holding her but letting her feet touch the ground "Can you stand?"
  3120. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stands around the group, trying to braid her hair behind her head to keep it somewhat out of her face. It's thick and unruly, but she manages as she waits for the two captives to be released by the other four captives.
  3121. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+6 Response Control + Akemi
  3122. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+6 Response Control + Akemi --> [ 4d3=9 ]{7}
  3123. <SirGoldFish> Suzy looks to Wendy. "I can, but I'm not used to it." Bee-boy wakes up. And he says in a quick neutral voice. "Who are you? Where am I? Where is Pa and ma?"
  3124. <Kioku> "I'm a friend. You're on a train. I don't know about pa and ma. We're going to get you off this train, and to safety."
  3125. <Kioku> Akemi stares intently at bee-boy while replying.
  3126. <Uracilo> Ju nods, not wanting to share his name. He hasn't really figured out how to deal with the whole Kimmy mess.
  3127. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sets the girl to the ground fully, then going to support the girls shoulder to help her walk. "Alright."
  3128. <SirGoldFish> "I do not know you so you can't be my friend. I better be able to see my parents."
  3129. <Kioku> "Well, I'd like to be your friend. Call me Dawn."
  3130. <SirGoldFish> Suzy, the cyclops, is clearly not stable on her feet. The boy looks to Akemi. "Getting me down from here would be a good start."
  3131. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip in slight worry "Would It be better if I carried you then?"
  3132. <SirGoldFish> "I can walk..."
  3133. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sighs "Alright, but don't be afraid to ask." she then looks over to the bee boy.
  3134. <FullMetalBitch> "Carry her," Lilith says with a smile. "Do not worry girl. She carries me often, it is enjoyable. I reccomend it."
  3135. <SirGoldFish> "Ermm, okay."
  3136. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and nods. "Kasai-san," Akemi turns toward Wendy.
  3137. * Endorb (Mibbit@synIRC-5E864EDC.abhsia.telus.net) has joined
  3138. <SirGoldFish> Hai! Endorb.
  3139. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blushes, then let out a small laugh, picking the small girl up in her arms like she had with Lilith many times.
  3140. <SirGoldFish> (Wrong chat.)
  3141. <SirGoldFish> Suzy is clearly very uncomfortable with being touched.
  3142. <SirGoldFish> But allows Wendy to carry her.
  3143. <Kioku> Akemi closes her eyes. "Kasai-san, we need to get him out as well..."
  3144. <SavanahHolland> Wendy walks over to the boy, still holding the girl close, looking at his skin, which is in fact bees "If I touch you.. Will it hurt me?"
  3145. * Endorb has quit (Ping timeout: 188 seconds)
  3146. <SirGoldFish> "I am still human under these insects that stick to me."
  3147. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sighs, then moves her hand to make contact with the boys, skin(?), useing her other hand to make sure the girl isn't hurt if things go sour.
  3148. <Kioku> Akemi brushes her hand against Wendy's shoulder again, of course.
  3149. <FullMetalBitch> "I love bees," Lilith says with a smile. "They bring such beauty to the world. I would not enjoy fruit so sweet with out them."
  3150. <SirGoldFish> The bees make room for Wendy's hand some of them crawling on her. Yes, the boy does indeed have pale white skin under the bees.
  3151. <SirGoldFish> "I wish they would go away for once." He says sourily to Lilith.
  3152. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7 Protect yo body from my heat
  3153. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 Protect yo body from my heat --> [ 4d3=10 ]{9}
  3154. <SirGoldFish> Protected body indeed.
  3155. * Endorb (Mibbit@synIRC-5E864EDC.abhsia.telus.net) has joined
  3156. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then sighs looking back down at the girl, "Close your eye again please" once she does that she tries her hand at getting the boy down
  3157. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7 Blowtorch your shit
  3158. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 Blowtorch your shit --> [ 4d3=7 ]{6}
  3159. <SirGoldFish> Within an instant the fire burns through the metal restrains allowing the boy down.
  3160. <Kioku> Akemi giggles and tries to make sure the boy doesn't fall, trusting the bees to move if she needs to catch him.
  3161. <Kioku> \Sugoi, Kasai-chan! ... No, that'd be too much.\
  3162. <SavanahHolland> Wendy takes a step back looking down to the girl again and saying under her breath "It's fine now, open your eyes."
  3163. <SirGoldFish> Some crawl on Akemi's arms, but most move out allowing her to catch the boy. "Thank you. This will go a long way for us being friends."
  3164. <SirGoldFish> "I only have one eye." She gives a stiff laugh.
  3165. <Uracilo> "Can you burn through the wall? These guys are taking too long to get us out."
  3166. <SavanahHolland> Wendy lets out a small laugh "Sorry sorry.." she then gives a knowing look to Akemi when the boy mentions friends.
  3167. <Kioku> Akemi is surprisingly unbothered by the insects. They aren't mosquitoes, so they don't get instant death.
  3168. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip "They said they would be getting us.."
  3169. <SirGoldFish> The wall that Raven knocked on opens up letting bright light through the dark metal box, forcing Suzy to close her one eye tightly. A note and a remote with a blue button on it is laying on the blue floor of the outside room.
  3170. <SavanahHolland> Wendy glances over to Lilith and Akemi, making sure they're fine, then making her grip on the small girl a little tighter, walking slowly into the blue room.
  3171. <Uracilo> Ju follows, checking out the note before handing it over and taking the remote in his hand.
  3172. <Kioku> Akemi gives a small grin before slipping her hand into bee-boy's and pulling him along behind her to follow the others.
  3173. <SirGoldFish> The outside of room appears to be a large train car with 7x7 dark metal boxes one of which you just came out of. There are wooden cargo boxes reinforced with metal laying about. Best way to describe it would be a storage room
  3174. <SirGoldFish> The note reads: Sorry took so long. This button will allow you to open and close your metal container, sadly not the others., I'll be on top of the train if you need me."
  3175. <SirGoldFish> Bee boy trudges along with Akemi, clearly not pleased.
  3176. <Uracilo> "Can you burn through one of the other boxes?"
  3177. <Kioku> Akemi's eyes widen. "But we need to get the people out of the others... or outright disable the train to save them all!" She drops the boy's hand once outside.
  3178. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip, her overuse of power hurting her chest a little, then nods "Yeah, yeah I can do that."
  3179. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith steps into the train car, and tries to feel if the train is moving. It's not exactly like the train ride through Italy she took with her parents.
  3180. <Kioku> Akemi pauses. "... Disabling the train is why we're here to begin with, isn't it?"
  3181. <FullMetalBitch> "Yes," Lilith answers her.
  3182. <SirGoldFish> The back of the note reads. "Get to the front of the train. There are controls for these boxes."
  3183. <Kioku> \If they packed 6 of us together in one of these... are there as many in all the others?\
  3184. <SirGoldFish> Wendy if she puts her arms against the metal boxes will find that it would require a heat she simply can't provide to burn through boxes, at least without severely hurting the people inside.
  3185. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith starts to head up the car towards the front of the train. She doesn't need to be too quiet, they're on a moving train, but she still takes some care.
  3186. <SirGoldFish> There is a door forward and a door backward.
  3187. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sighs taking a step back, checking on the girl in her arms first then looking back at the group "I can't open them.. At least not without hurting the others inside.."
  3188. <Uracilo> Ju looks around for an emergency brake, but follows Lilith if he doesn't find one
  3189. <SirGoldFish> Taking a peak in the door. You see kids and adults all sleeping in a more typical train environment. (About 55 or so.) There are about 3 guards who have yet to notice you standing about talking. "I wonder when Calipso is gonna get out of the bathroom?" The other guards just shrug in response.
  3190. <Kioku> Akemi follows Lilith, heading toward the front, and waves the others over. \Dang, that's a lot of people...\
  3191. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks back towards the group, her eyes falling on Akemi. "Like before Miss Akemi, they will hate each other. Okay?"
  3192. <Kioku> "That might wake up the others though, unless they're knocked out like us..."
  3193. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith glances back into the train car, and tries to see if the guards have weapons on them.
  3194. <SirGoldFish> They are all armed with pistols and batons. (Is Ju able to tell what kind of chemicals are in people?)
  3195. <SavanahHolland> Wendy swiftly follows behind the others, though staying back slightly, making sure the little girl stays quiet, though at this point she just wished she could run up to the guards and knock them out.
  3196. <SirGoldFish> Suzy looks up at Wendy. "Do you want me to hurt them?" Ju knows without having to roll that all the people on the train are effected with less potent drugs meaning they'd all wake up if enough noise is made.
  3197. <SavanahHolland> Wendy's face scrunches up in confusion "how could you hurt them?"
  3198. <FullMetalBitch> (Is the train car dark, and just open? Or is there cover?)
  3199. <SirGoldFish> You could possibly crawl under the seats, but if they caught Lilith she'd be extremely vulnerable.
  3200. <SirGoldFish> "I'm strong when I need..." She says to Wendy.
  3201. <SirGoldFish> Who's dealing with Bee boy?
  3202. <SavanahHolland> Wendy sighs softly looking down at the girl again "Don't worry about it for now.. We can figure out what to do." she gives the girl a small smile.
  3203. <SirGoldFish> The girl nods as her tummy begins to growl. "I'm hungry..."
  3204. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith turns towards the others, "watch for the one coming from the bathroom." She drops down onto her stomach and starts to crawl like she's under machine gun fire to try and keep out of their sight.
  3205. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 stealth
  3206. <Uralogs> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 stealth --> [ 4d3=7 ]{7}
  3207. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3-8+6 "Seriously though, what the hell happened to calipso?"
  3208. <Uralogs> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3-8+6 "Seriously though, what the hell happened to calipso?" --> [ 4d3=8 ]{6}
  3209. <Kioku> Akemi winces, and with little time to act, pushes lust for one guard onto another as a distraction.
  3210. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+5
  3211. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+5 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{6}
  3212. <SavanahHolland> When the girl says then, Wendy reaches for her fannypack, hopefully she still had a granola bar from breakfast, and well, there is no fannypack. She says quietly "Don't worry, We'll get you food as soon as we can."
  3213. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+5 Trained against these sorts of deals...
  3214. <Uralogs> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+5 Trained against these sorts of deals... --> [ 4d3=6 ]{11}
  3215. <SirGoldFish> roll 11-8
  3216. <Uralogs> SirGoldFish rolled : 11-8 --> {3}
  3217. <SirGoldFish> The Lilith manages to slip behind the guards, closer to the front of the train. One of the guards goes up to another. "I never realized your eyes...." "that's because they're covered..." "Lemme see!" He hug tackles the guard.
  3218. <SirGoldFish> Sadly, all your possessions were taken, Wendy.
  3219. <SirGoldFish> Suzy nods. "Ermm, okay..."
  3220. <SirGoldFish> (BRB, I'll be back in two minutes)
  3221. <SirGoldFish> (Back)
  3222. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith crouches in front of a few of the seats and takes a breath to calm herself. After a few seconds she decides it is as good of a time as any and crouch walks over to the guards. Just like the at the market back home, when she would want a new bangle to wear and the merchant would keep it on his apron. Reach up without being noticed and take it, right? Just, this time it's a gun.
  3223. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+8 thievery
  3224. <Uralogs> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+8 thievery --> [ 4d3=8 ]{8}
  3225. <SavanahHolland> (I knew that, I was just rping that Wendy forgot)
  3226. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+7-8 Allah help you, Lilith...
  3227. <Uralogs> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+7-8 Allah help you, Lilith... --> [ 4d3=6 ]{5}
  3228. <SirGoldFish> Through some fucking miracle, Lilith is able to steal the gun without being noticed.
  3229. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith takes a step back and finds her hand to the safety and flicks it. She then, quite audibly and while putting a few feet between her and the guards, racks the slide to chamber a round. Accompanying the distinct sound with a "do not move."
  3230. <SirGoldFish> Everyone who's stayed behind in the other cart. Roll me precp diff 6.
  3231. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+5
  3232. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+5 --> [ 4d3=5 ]{2}
  3233. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+9 Perception overdrive!
  3234. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+9 Perception overdrive! --> [ 4d3=6 ]{7}
  3235. <Uracilo> roll 4d3-8+6
  3236. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+6 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{4}
  3237. <SirGoldFish> The one guard with his hands free looks to Lilith with a glare. "What the hell are you doing? Put that gun down, now." Wendy the most awful sound falls upon your ears alone... a flush.
  3238. <SavanahHolland> Wendy's head starts hurting ever so slightly, she looks to Akemi with horror "The other guards comming out, I heard a flush."
  3239. <FullMetalBitch> "Raise your hands," Lilith snaps back at the man as she tries to keep the gun level. Her stance isn't that good and the weapon is a little heavy for her, but she keeps him in her sights.

  3248. <Muninn> Akemi's eyes widen when the guard turns around. She takes a deep breath, her spectral features appear, and a faint pink mist forms around her jawline. She pushes absolute love and devotion at the standing guard. "Don't hurt my friend," she murmurs. To the guard's ears, if her attempt worked, it should be easily audible.
  3249. <Muninn> roll 4d3-8+7 Heartbeat Overdrive
  3250. <Uralogs> Muninn rolled : 4d3-8+7 Heartbeat Overdrive --> [ 4d3=4 ]{3}
  3251. <FullMetalBitch> "Be quiet!" Lilith says as she glances between the three guards and starts to wonder, where, exactly her back up is. The sight of a small thin arabic girl with a fantasticly done in short time french braid holding a large pistol is not exactly that intimidating.
  3252. * Kioku has quit (NickServ (GHOST command used by Muninn))
  3253. * You are now known as Kioku
  3254. <SirGoldFish> (How loudly is Lilith yelling?)
  3255. <SavanahHolland> (Where exactly is the entrance to the bathroom?)
  3256. <SirGoldFish> Wendy can hear the guard washing his hands in the bathroom.
  3257. <FullMetalBitch> (She is harshly whispering)
  3258. <FullMetalBitch> (as if there were sleeping people near by)
  3259. <SirGoldFish> (Alright, did not wanna be a dick)
  3260. <SavanahHolland> (Where is it)
  3261. <SirGoldFish> (It's coming from the back of the train.)
  3262. <SirGoldFish> The man sighs, looking at his infatuated team members. "Look, I don't want to hurt you, so just put the gun down."
  3263. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks to Akemi "Take care of her for a moment" she then starts quickly walking backwords to where the sound was comming from alone.
  3264. <SirGoldFish> (Pause the game so I can say what happens.)
  3265. <SirGoldFish> The guard in the middle of trying to rationalize with Lilith is struck with something his eyes light up as he looks behind him, seeing Akemi and then looking froward seeing Lilith. "I CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO HURT MASTER!" He goes to tackle Lilith! (Roll brawn or speed.) The guard in the bathroom comes out, whistling, but stops bringing his gun out as he sees the group.
  3266. <FullMetalBitch> (Can I roll gymnast?)
  3267. <SirGoldFish> (Sure!)
  3268. <SavanahHolland> (But Wendy ran that direction)
  3269. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+7 gymnast
  3270. <Uralogs> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+7 gymnast --> [ 4d3=6 ]{5}
  3271. <SavanahHolland> (He would have seen her first)
  3272. <SirGoldFish> roll 4d3-8+8 Powered by love~
  3273. <Uralogs> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3-8+8 Powered by love~ --> [ 4d3=8 ]{8}
  3274. <Kioku> Akemi blinks, wide-eyed. "It's mistress..." she murmurs to herself before shaking her head quickly and, barely suppressing a giggle, moves into the room to help. \Wait, didn't Wendy say she heard something?\ "Suzy, please help Kasai-san!"
  3275. <SirGoldFish> The guard pins Lilith to the ground.
  3276. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith hits the floor of the train car with an exhaust of all the air in her chest, losing her grip on the pistol as she is slammed. She is a frail girl being slammed by a large man. As she fights for air to fill her lung back, she says venomously to him (but still in a quiet voice to be nice) "get off me!"
  3277. <SirGoldFish> The guard breaths deeply over Lilith's body. " She's mine!" Suzy looks to Akemi, "Kasai-San?"
  3278. <Kioku> If uninterrupted, Akemi glides over to Lilith and the guard, trailing a finger along the guard's back. It looks like she's terrifyingly experienced with this sort of situation. Or just good at faking it.
  3279. <Kioku> She looks down on Lilith as if intrigued. "Now, now, she's not out to steal me. She just wants to be protective too, right~?"
  3280. <SirGoldFish> "Only I protect you!" Lilith, roll brawn for me to see how well you take the hit.
  3281. <Uracilo> Ju balls his fists at the entrance to the car full of normal people, deciding he's better off helping by making everyone but his allies sleep.
  3282. * Endorb has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  3283. <Uracilo> His power grasps at the people in the car, the ones closer to him being affected more than those farther away, but still powerfully sedated.
  3284. <Uracilo> !roll 4d3-8+6 Overload Response Control
  3285. <TheTrueDice> Uracilo, Overload Response Control: 8:10-8+6
  3286. <Kioku> Akemi scowls and her hand glows dark purple, trying to raise a curse on the guard. "DO NOT!"
  3287. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+1
  3288. <Uralogs> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+1 --> [ 4d3=9 ]{2}
  3289. <Kioku> (Actually, can she try to intercept via throwing off the guard's aim instead?)
  3290. <SirGoldFish> Suzy nods, realizing who Akemi is referring to and goes to help Wendy.
  3291. <SirGoldFish> (Was that an 8 or a 10 for Ju's roll?)
  3292. <FullMetalBitch> )8_
  3293. <SirGoldFish> That is enough! to make sure everyone stays asleep!
  3294. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+7 Don't touch My Lilith! (if intercept allowed)
  3295. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+7 Don't touch My Lilith! (if intercept allowed) --> [ 4d3=8 ]{7}
  3296. <SirGoldFish> Regardless of the noise.
  3297. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+7-8 Still loved powered.
  3298. <Uralogs> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+7-8 Still loved powered. --> [ 4d3=6 ]{5}
  3299. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+3 If I can't intercept, back to Wicked Curse: Mindfire
  3300. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+3 If I can't intercept, back to Wicked Curse: Mindfire --> [ 4d3=10 ]{5}
  3301. <SirGoldFish> The guard punches Lilith in the face. Causing her 2 damage.
  3302. <SirGoldFish> Roll 4d3+4-8 but master....
  3303. <Uralogs> SirGoldFish rolled : 4d3+4-8 but master.... --> [ 4d3=8 ]{4}
  3304. <SirGoldFish> The man screams as his brain is pratically lit afire when he punches Wendy.
  3305. <SirGoldFish> *lilth
  3306. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith's face is hit, her head slamming into the floor of the car below her as she cries out in pain. Blood starts to fall out of a cut in her lip from the strike.
  3307. <FullMetalBitch> As she cries out in pain, her mind's eyes watch the strings around her, and stries to violently pull the ones holding the man from behind to yank him off.
  3308. <FullMetalBitch> roll 4d3-8+6 strings
  3309. <Uralogs> FullMetalBitch rolled : 4d3-8+6 strings --> [ 4d3=11 ]{9}
  3310. <SirGoldFish> The man is pushed away piratically slamed against the metal on door to the front of the car.
  3311. <Kioku> Akemi kneels next to Lilith, concern lit in her eyes. "I'm sorry! It backfired, I'm so sorry! I wanted him to protect you, not..." She looks almost on the verge of tears.
  3312. <SirGoldFish> *Practically
  3313. <SirGoldFish> The man is still awake. "She's a danger to you!"
  3314. <Kioku> (Akemi waits for her place in the supposed turn order to respond.)
  3315. <Uracilo> Ju runs forward and kicks the disadvantaged man in the head.
  3316. <SavanahHolland> Wendy walks back into the room, seeing everything going on she looks to the little girl "Stay here" she then lets go of the girl, rushing to the others.
  3317. <SirGoldFish> Wendy arrives on the scene, her hands/arms wet from wiping large tears from Suzy's eye.
  3318. <SirGoldFish> (There is no turn order, the man has been dettered from attacking for now.) Akemi senses that the other two guards are almost gonna snap out of it to help.
  3319. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks around for any guards that she can pin down.
  3320. <SirGoldFish> (Is no one gonna go to the front of the car?)
  3321. <SirGoldFish> *train
  3322. <Kioku> (Waiting on Lilith's response)
  3323. <Kioku> (And she has phone call)
  3324. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith points over at the guard from her place on the ground, looking at Akemi as she does. Before she scrambles to grab the gun.
  3325. <SirGoldFish> The gun is grabbed unless someone tries to stop her
  3326. <SavanahHolland> (Any guards around that look... pinnable?)
  3327. <Uracilo> (Lilith pointed at the one by the door)
  3328. <SavanahHolland> (then Wendy goes to body slam him if that's fine)
  3329. <SirGoldFish> He is indeed pinable, but stunned so it'd be unnecessary.
  3330. <Uracilo> Ju runs past Wendy and the guard and opens the door to the next car.
  3331. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+8 Then punch him in the face to knock him out..?
  3332. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+8 Then punch him in the face to knock him out..? --> [ 4d3=7 ]{7}
  3333. <SirGoldFish> Sure, you knock him out.
  3334. <SirGoldFish> Ju, the "Mistress!" He yells out before, of course.
  3335. <SirGoldFish> The guard
  3336. <SirGoldFish> Not ju
  3337. <SavanahHolland> Wendy stands up, taking a deep breath, a little bit of blood on her knuckles, then going to the little girl, grabbing her hand with her none bloodied hand, and walking over to Lilith.
  3338. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith stands up on her own with the pistol, heading after Kimmy with a quick jog.
  3339. <SirGoldFish> Ju, you find your self at the front of the rain where the controls. They is a yellow manual and a clipboard with notes on it.
  3340. <Kioku> Akemi follows where Lilith is pointing, currently wanting to just do anything she can to make this up to her.
  3341. <SavanahHolland> As Lilith runs off Wendy looks to Akemi, "do we follow?" she tries to say it with a small laugh, but it sounds a little too serious.
  3342. <SirGoldFish> Suzy is dragged along.
  3343. <Kioku> She stands and follows Lilith, nodding to Wendy along the way.
  3344. <Uracilo> Ju quickly reads through the clipboard and checks the manual's index.
  3345. <SavanahHolland> At that Wendy then pulls Suzy along, running after Akemi and Lilith.
  3346. <SirGoldFish> Ju, the clipboard has what appears to be medical notes. Here is the synopsis of the top 4 results: *Image of Akemi* This Parathreat's abilities are inherent. I recommend cryostasis, failing that termination may be necessary. Little to know hope for her to be normal.
  3347. <SirGoldFish> *Image of Ju* individual's anomalous nature seem to come from some unknown source... if we were able to sever this connection to this entity we may be able to get him to live a normal life.
  3348. <SirGoldFish> *Image of Wendy* Individual's anomalous abilities appear to be magical in nature, supernatural consultant is needed to see if perhaps anti-magic wards would work to get her to be able to normal.
  3349. <SirGoldFish> *Image of Lilith* No hope. Would require lobotomization, cryostasis recommended until further research can be done.
  3350. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks around the engine, holding the pistol close to her as she looks for anyone she might need to aim it at. Eventually she makes her way over to Ju and asks him, "well? Does it say how to stop this machine?"
  3351. <SirGoldFish> The index is mostly about train operation some parts of interest are: Opening containment units, separating carts from the engine, stopping the train.
  3352. <Uracilo> He skims through those sections. "We have to drag the guards onto this engine, then separate the carts."
  3353. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks over to Akemi as the three enter, hearing Ju's words "I can probably do that.."
  3354. <Kioku> Akemi makes it in just in time to hear the exchange, since she was following closely behind Lilith. "Aren't we underground though? Will we be able to get them out?"
  3355. <SirGoldFish> Another one that catches Ju's eye. Is a chapter on destroying certain carts via explosive.
  3356. <Uracilo> "I thought that was the point of the double agents. I assume they have some way of getting us out of here."
  3357. <Kioku> Akemi glances around at the others and nods. "Probably."
  3358. <Uracilo> "We could free everyone and bring them onto the engine, otherwise, but we're heading towards a Bureau base, I assume."
  3359. <Uracilo> "We don't want to make it there."
  3360. <SirGoldFish> (Westhart's instructions were to stop the train.)
  3361. <Kioku> "Couldn't we just put everyone in the rear-most car, detatch that one, and then stop it? Or... well... just plain stop it since they're out anyway?"
  3362. <Kioku> Her eyes widen. "They aren't all out. One is trying to grope another on the floor back there."
  3363. <Kioku> "I forgot!"
  3364. <FullMetalBitch> "Who is watching the guards?" Lilith says before she heads back to the car to watch them.
  3365. <Kioku> Akemi runs after Lilith, still feeling guilty.
  3366. <Uracilo> "Well, there are boxes in the storage cart. We don't want them to get their supplies, either. All the normal people in that cart where the guards were are drugged, as well."
  3367. <SirGoldFish> The guards are still all over each other, somehow.
  3368. <SavanahHolland> Wendy bites her lip, then turning to the little girl to check on her, giving her hand a small squeeze, then looking to Lilith leave, ready to sprint after her, but decides it would be better to stay there for the moment, looking to Ju.
  3369. <Kioku> \Huh. Guess he reciprocated.\
  3370. <Kioku> \That, or it bled through from one to the other.\
  3371. <Kioku> Akemi lets out a giggle.
  3372. <SirGoldFish> Well, one is allover the other who is struggling to get out. It's basically a combination of Akemi and Ju's influence.
  3373. <SirGoldFish> (Does anybody look at the manual or clipboard)
  3374. <SirGoldFish> ?
  3375. <Uracilo> (Ju was looking at it. Does anyone else need to?)
  3376. <SavanahHolland> Wendy blinks at Ju for a second "What can I do right now to help stop the train?"
  3377. <Uracilo> "We get the guards, bering them here. Then we decouple this car and use the breaks on the other cars."
  3378. <SavanahHolland> Wendy nods, looking to the little girl "Stay here with him, alright?" she then looks to Ju "I'll start dragging some in then."
  3379. <SirGoldFish> Everyone precep.
  3380. <Kioku> roll 4d3-8+5
  3381. <Uralogs> Kioku rolled : 4d3-8+5 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{3}
  3382. <SavanahHolland> roll 4d3-8+7
  3383. <Uralogs> SavanahHolland rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=6 ]{5}
  3384. <SirGoldFish> Wendy, you manage to hear loud knocking on the roof of the train cart.
  3385. <SirGoldFish> Similar to how Raven knocked on your metal container.
  3386. <Uracilo> Roll 4d3-8+7
  3387. <Uralogs> Uracilo rolled : 4d3-8+7 --> [ 4d3=8 ]{7}
  3388. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks up to the ceiling, where she had heard the knocking, saying under her breath "Did you hear that?"
  3389. <SirGoldFish> Ju hears it as well.
  3390. <Uracilo> Ju takes it as a request to hurry, and checks the part of the manual that details how to stop the train, throwing on the brakes.
  3391. <Uracilo> He then opens all the containment units
  3392. <Uracilo> And waits for further orders.
  3393. <Kioku> Akemi wavers a little as the train slows down, and smiles. She looks over her shoulder toward the front, hoping the others (but especially Wendy) are able to come back soon.
  3394. <SavanahHolland> Wendy looks down at the little girl, taking her hand again with a small smile, things were finally comming to a stop, for now at least.
  3395. <SirGoldFish> The train stops with a /screech/ In about an hour GWU soldiers come to take the train and lead everyone above ground where an envoy will take the somewhere. (You may continue to RP in the train if you desire. I will continue to GM.)
  3396. <SirGoldFish> *envoy will take the anomalies and normal people along with the group.
  3397. <SavanahHolland> Wendy then glances back to Ju, pulling Suze along with her, walking to the area where Lilith and Akemi are.
  3398. <SirGoldFish> Suzy is dragged along. "Did you win?"
  3399. <Uracilo> Ju heads to the storage car and liberates all of the anomalous humans, waking them to feelings of safety and some loyalty to him to keep them from rampaging.
  3400. <Kioku> Akemi hugs Wendy tightly with a grin when she gets back, then goes with Ju to help.
  3401. <SavanahHolland> Wendy smiles at Suzy "For now, we did, you're safe." she then hugs Akemi, letting her get to helping Ju.
  3402. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith heads over to the one guard who wasn't affected by Akemi's meddling, to see if he is concious.
  3403. <SirGoldFish> Ju and Akemi's efforts help the GWU soldiers greatly leading to less injuries. (Unless they decide to get them to escape the train.) Lilith, the guard is not conscious.
  3404. <SavanahHolland> (Wendy is going to stick by Suzys side the entire time)
  3405. <SirGoldFish> Bee boy is pleased that he did not have to get his hands dirty as he simply stays in his own metal container.
  3406. <FullMetalBitch> (did ju keep the info sheet)
  3407. <SirGoldFish> (I assume he left it in the front cart.)
  3408. <Uracilo> (No, he would've taken it)
  3409. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith tries to wake one of the guards, either finding a med kit with smelling salts or smacking him around.
  3410. <SirGoldFish> You could try to talk to the one Wendy knocked out.
  3411. <SavanahHolland> (Are there any gwu soilders around, or have they not shown up yet?)
  3412. <FullMetalBitch> She tries until she gets one responsive. She's got an hour.
  3413. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith recruits Kimmy after a while to wake someone up for her, "like before."
  3414. <Uracilo> Ju does as she asks, waking up a guard but disabling any kind of fight or flight response on them first.
  3415. <FullMetalBitch> "Hello," Lilith says to him as she kneels next to him, holding the gun in her lap. "I would like to talk to you about this Bureau."
  3416. <SirGoldFish> (Normally I'd make you roll, but I'll just let it fly for RP purposes) The guard awakens. "What the fuck do you want?" He says in a defeated manner.
  3417. <Kioku> Akemi continues helping people and tryin' to be popular.
  3418. <FullMetalBitch> "Please calm down," Lilith says with a raise of her hand. "We just wish to know about your orginization. Why you had these children. Why the Gee Double You You does not like you."
  3419. <SirGoldFish> "We seek neutralization of these parathreats. We merely want to make them normal."
  3420. <FullMetalBitch> "Make them normal?" Lilith says with her a tilt of her head, "please. What do you mean by this 'make them normal'?"
  3421. <Uracilo> Ju pulls the papers out of his coat, showing them to Lilith. He with-holds hers.
  3422. <SirGoldFish> "Remove what makes them anomalous so they can go to live normal lives."
  3423. <SirGoldFish> Ju notices few more on the note:
  3424. <SirGoldFish> *Image of Suzy* High hopes. Simply plastic surgery, hormone treatment, and replacement muscles. Low risk.
  3425. <SirGoldFish> *Image of bee boy* We simply need to destroy the organs producing the bees and we can get this boy a normal life.
  3426. <SirGoldFish> *simple
  3427. <FullMetalBitch> "These are things you can do?" Lilith says as she glances through them, "What does this mean, 'termination may be necessary? Little to no hope of being normal??"
  3428. <FullMetalBitch> ?*
  3429. <SirGoldFish> "I'm not a scientist. I'm not totally certain."
  3430. <FullMetalBitch> "I do not see myself, or the others from the back." Lilith flicks the papers to make sure she is certain she didn't overlook them. "You are certain these treatments work? Why do you not take these people voluntarily then?"
  3431. <Uracilo> "It means they forcefully remove anomalies. They have no interest in preseving quality of life beyond what is simple."
  3432. <SirGoldFish> "Some of them do come voluntarily and yes, we if we can persevere quality we do. Our egg heads try their damndest."
  3433. <FullMetalBitch> Lilith looks over at Kimmy, then back to the man. "Why does the GWU dislike you so, if you do this work with good intentions?"
  3434. <SirGoldFish> "Because they're fucking maniacs. Who think they can control forces beyond there understanding."
  3435. <SirGoldFish> *their
  3436. <FullMetalBitch> "Well," Lilith says looking over at Ju. "He speaks words made of gold. Tell me, are they real?"
  3437. <Uracilo> "Condiser the amount of boxes, full of caged people. People they bought, or stole. I wouldn't wish them on my enemies."
  3438. <Uracilo> Consider*
  3439. <Uracilo> "Even if their mission sounds like a dream for you, Lilith, the ends do not justify this."
  3440. <Uracilo> "And they did plan to kill Akemi, just because they couldn't find a solution."
  3441. <SirGoldFish> "Look at the middle cart. Those are all people we've saved! And I don't know who your friend is, but I assure you that they'd try cryostasis before killing her."
  3442. <FullMetalBitch> "You are right," Lilith says with a sigh to Ju. "I would someday wish to speak to one of them that knows what he is talking of." She looks towards the man, "who should I speak to?"
  3443. <SirGoldFish> "A representative... I'm not totally sure."
  3444. <FullMetalBitch> "Okay," Lilith says as she stands and looks to Ju, "let's go."
  3445. <Uracilo> Ju knocks the guard out once more and follows her.
