Revas On The Town?

00:52:29: RioCadaro When we last left our Survivors... Klaus had checked himself in to having an upgrade on his arm whilst Revas had a charming reunion within the confines of the Opal House. The moon shines bright in the sky as evening is in its full bloom. The number of pedestrians on the street has increased noticably which is no unusual sight in Clodberg. Its veins do not truly flow with life
00:52:29: RioCadaro until the sun bids its adieu to the residents of the sinful city.
00:57:08: RioCadaro Klaus: You have been awakened by a sharp pain coursing through your body. More like tension as you feel your body suddenly burst to life from being put under. It's a short lived-tension and liveliness as a numb feeling overcomes you.
00:57:50: RioCadaro Revas: You've managed to leave the Opal House at this time without much trouble. You manage to get yourself lost in the sea of pedestrians that come out with the night, making your escape a bit easier for your mind to accept as successful.
00:58:10: klaus winces but knows it's best to stay perfectly still. He opens his eyes and blinks a few times to adjust himself.
01:01:02: <RioCadaro> Tyler: He-hey, dude. Welcome back to the realm of the living! I mean...the awake, man. So...shake it off. How ya feeeeelin'? When you're not so drugged feelin', take a look to your leftie. Don't sugar-coat it bro, lay it on me stright.
01:01:33: Revas is more than happy to get lost into the mess. Disappearing into the crowd does make everything -so- much better; and in a place like this, even if he's never seen these faces before they all feel familiar. ...He'd rather be out on the town with his family, but that's out of the question. So... after a bit of thought, he makes his decision - to get
01:02:10: <klaus> "Yeah...just give me a second. Man, this almost feels like that time when...nevermind..." Klaus slowly shakes his head and blinks a few more times to get the blur out of his vision. Then he turns to the left to examine his arm.
01:02:27: <Revas> himself properly lost and enjoy the night like he hasn't been able to since coming to Egondra. In a place like this... he can relax properly.
01:04:46: RioCadaro Revas: Where are you getting yourself lost to? Any place in particular?
01:05:00: <klaus> (boooooooze!)
01:05:39: Revas is... keeping his eyes open. He does't know this town much at all, but that doesn't mean he can't spot a place that's a little... seedier. More likely not to care if he's young, so long as he's got the money.
01:12:48: RioCadaro Klaus: You look to your left and see...what appears to be your left arm. Tyler seemed to listen to every last detail you had ...and then some. Near your shoulder blade you have very light bumps towards your front and to your back, each of which emit a very faint light from the center of them. The entirety of the arm is flesh-toned, but etched in various areas are fractal patterns
01:12:48: RioCadaro you described to him. If it weren't for the light metallic gleam in the intense light over you and the fact you were knocked out cold, you'd think he just gave you gold tattoos in teh pattern you wanted and buffed you like a car. The weight is a bit awkward for you at first, though not in the most overwhelming sense "Try it out, bro."
01:13:15: RioCadaro Your hand is just as free as it was before, just as natural as it was before.
01:14:14: <klaus> "It's...beautiful. You are indeed an artist." Klaus clenches and unclenches his fist a few times before starting to lift the arm up. He concentrates, trying to figure out how to operate its features.
01:14:16: RioCadaro Revas: You've got a good feeling that the Gym Leader who runs the Milotic Fountain is looking to keep her position as Gym Leader.
01:15:43: Revas|Wyl assumedly gathers this from posters and stuff advertising the competition or something?
01:17:55: <RioCadaro> "Clench it tight, with your thumb in your fist. See the trigger just above your thumb's knuckle? That activates the hammerfist, bro. I know you told me not to buuuut...I couldn't resist! And those appendages...well, your Pokemon could help operate them, since I'm no brain surgeon, but if you know somebody who is I'm more than happy to make your dream come true, Klaus. Oh and obviously,
01:17:55: <RioCadaro> those things on your shoulder are the holders. You don't have to worry about them getting corrupted or deleted or anything. Any threat to their well-being automatically ejects them from there so they stay safe. I mean, that's a last-ditch attempt since I did put the best firewall software to guard them into the workings."
01:18:48: RioCadaro Revas: Correct. You do see quite a few people flooded in the bar right now, and there's no cover guards at the doors like most other bars. You can see that drinks are buy one, get one free tonight and all through until the totalling ceremony
01:20:01: klaus nods and starts to sit up. "OW!" He slumps down again and clutches at his head. "Sorry, seems that I don't take well to anaethesia. I'll be alright, I think. I just need some rest."
01:21:03: <Revas|Wyl> "...It's like they -want- me to do this," Revas chuckles a little, then laughs more as he realises that... yes, frankly, some probably do. So he finally settles on one that seems... quieter. Rowdy just ends up in bar brawls, afterall.
01:21:07: RioCadaro Sheepishly, Tyler hides the needle he injected into your arm to wake you up. "Heh...yeah, some rest is probably your best bet, bro. You'll probably feel better with a regular night's sleep, maybe two total. Let me know how it works out for ya, and if I need to make any tweaks! I think everything's good to go, but I need to know from the owner..."
01:22:34: klaus slowly sits up again and takes a few deep breaths before tapping a pokeball in his pocket with his right hand. "Babbage, you're more clear-headed than me right now, and it seems I need your help to test this anyhow."
01:27:26: RioCadaro Revas: You make your way across the street from the Milotic Fountain to a smaller establishment. It's called The Deckhouse. Given the lighter crowd, it's safe to say that the Milotic Fountain is really popular, not to mention probably stealing this place's business.
01:28:53: RioCadaro Babbage pops out of the Pokeball and hovers, looking over your arm. "Gon....? Pory." He blinks as he inspects it carefully. After a moment he slowly Wires himself into your arm. You feel a moment of light tingling with brief numbness as Babbage gets settled in. One of the lights on your shoulder brightens just a tad and blinks a few times to let you know Babbage is in there.
01:29:38: <Revas|Wyl> Revas does not mind that. The place looks kind of cozy. It'll do, for the night, he decides as he heads on in.
01:29:53: <klaus> "Alright buddy, let's get this thing going."
01:31:50: klaus lifts his arm again to better observe it. "Let's just run through it all one by one."
01:35:39: RioCadaro Revas: As you mosey on in the faint scent of alcohol tickles your nostrils followed by a equally faint swirl of cigarette entwined with it. Given the dozen or so customers total in here it's much more managable than if one were to walk into the Milotic right now. Most of the people here are grizzly looking men in garbs between that of a biker and of a tourist. The bartender, a
01:35:39: RioCadaro woman who looks to be in her early thirties, wears a black biker vest with a white tanktop underneath, both clenching her body like any of those men probably would as she's decently endowed. As you walk in she turns, her black hair fluffing over her shoulders lightly. "Hey there, sugar. Welcome to the Deckhouse. What can I getchya?"
01:37:47: RioCadaro Klaus: Babbage begins by activating...the flashlight mechanism located above your wrist. It protrudes out barely as its activated, basking the area in front of you with white light. Next, one by one, Babbage begins operating the appendages and moves them in all directions. A few times he playfully pokes at you with them. Four appendages in all, plus the flashlight and the two
01:37:47: RioCadaro holding compartments, plus the hammerfist Tyler told you about which you can operate manually are all functioning correctly it seems.
01:38:54: Revas|Wyl takes a look around the bar; hardly his crowd, but that's okay. The night is still young... and if people more to his style don't show up later he can just find another. "Just--" oh god his stomach's rumbling. Well, that first. "Got a menu?"
01:39:00: klaus gives a satisfied nod. "Tyler, could you grab my bag for me? There's one last thing I want to try, just the direct interfacing with computers. I have a laptop in there."
01:43:49: RioCadaro Tyler lifts your back up and places it in your lap. "Oh yeah, sure thing. You can do that through your appendages, or you can use...this." Tyler lifts up a compartment under your wrist area, revealing a USB plug. It seems to extend a little outward on its own. "Now if you flick this switch here...." He points out a switch to the side of the plug, flicking it. The USB slot unlocks
01:43:49: RioCadaro and is able to be extended via a wire, which Tyler also demonstrates.
01:44:17: <RioCadaro> "Best I could do without the whole brain thing...Sorry bro. Don't wanna kill you, like I said."
01:45:47: <Ramiel> (Oh, you guys are actually playing. Was wondering why the channel was flashing. Guess I should leave to avoid spoilerses)
01:46:04: <Revas|Wyl> (S'up to you this time, I'm not too partic--)
01:46:36: klaus chuckles. "I fully understand that. But I believe the technology is available for such a thing..." he starts up his laptop and pulls over the USB cable to plug into it.
01:48:10: RioCadaro Revas: She reaches down under the counter and passes you a menu. "Here you are, sweetheart. Special of the night is the Twin Suns. So, what brings you to Olivia's part of town, hun?" She slides a barstool under herself as more patrons casually wander in. They too seem like tourists themselves.
01:50:03: <RioCadaro> "Oh, I know it's here, I'm just not ready for that step yet. Not until I have nothing else to do out here among us free people, man." Tyler laughs while observing your tests. The cable is not taut at all as you plug it in freely. Babbage darts into the laptop as it starts up and when the desktop appears his friendly face smothers the screen before he backs up, hovering about the screen
01:50:03: <RioCadaro> with a carefree joy about him. "Gon gon gon!"
01:52:44: klaus smiles. "Everything is working quite to my satisfaction. You do good work. I do wonder though, since I have to rely on Babbage to operate most of this, do you perhaps sell anything to make that process easier? Would a Porygon2 up-grade make the connection smoother?"
01:53:21: <RioCadaro> 1d100
01:53:22: <DiceMaid-9001> RioCadaro, 1d100: 9 [1d100=9]
01:53:53: <Revas|Wyl> "Business~" Revas muses, his eyes flicking over to the door almost hopefully any time they open up, as if screening the people who walk through. "...Well, and pleasure, too," a quick scan down the menu to find a half-decent burger, and then he passes it back to her and places the order. "But we'll have to see how that part goes yet."
01:54:44: RioCadaro Tyler frowns. "Yeah...evolving Babbage would certainly make things faster and smoother, but I'm fresh out of Up-Grade disks. I won't be getting any in for another week. I don't usually carry too many since not many people want 'em. Even so, doing the upgrades yourself is all the more satisfying if you ask me."
01:55:48: <klaus> "Right, I've looked into that online and it's of...questionable legality." Klaus gives a half-shrug, not quite used to his new arm yet. "I just hadn't looked into the IP issues surrounding Porygon before now. It's disappointing, if you ask me."
01:57:07: <RioCadaro> "Oh ho, so you got your eye on somebody eh? Hmmm, well I hope you find your pleasure tonight, sugar. Everyone could use a fun time every now and then, right boys?" Olivia winks to the other patrons whom respond with a decent amount of joy. The bartender struts to the back, giving the cook your order and then returns back. "Not very often I get young blood in my establishments. So what
01:57:07: <RioCadaro> kinda business you here for?"
01:58:39: <RioCadaro> "Yeah, that's what busts most of the amatuers. There's software though, puts up a subnet mask on top of the existing subnet mask to throw off digital stalkers and whatnot."
02:01:38: klaus nods thougtfully. "I'll have to read more about it. Preferably when I've gotten some rest." he taps the laptop and motions for Babbage to move back into the arm, then shuts down the computer and stands up, pulling out his TID. "Thanks for everything. Let's just get this business done and I can go get some sleep."
02:01:53: <Revas|Wyl> Revas laughs a little, still watching the other patrons. "Business? One part family... one part sales," he shrugs it off, totally realising what he ends up making himself sound like with that. "I can't... talk about it freely. You understand, right?" And he's fine with it.
02:03:28: <RioCadaro> "Sure thing, bro. It's been a ...an honor doing this for you. If there's anything else I can do, you...hey, you got a phone on you? You want my number, in case you need anything? "
02:03:47: <RioCadaro> 1d20+4 Olivia, Sense Motive
02:03:48: <DiceMaid-9001> RioCadaro, Olivia, Sense Motive: 24 [1d20=20]
02:04:16: <klaus> (oh hm I guess we don't have cell phones, do we?)
02:04:38: <RioCadaro> (No, but you may later if you decide to invest in them :))
02:05:25: klaus sighs. "Right, another thing I gotta replace...sorry, but email's all I've got for now. Lost my phone a while back, and you know Gubrine wasn't exactly the best place to go looking for a replacement." he offers up his email address.
02:08:18: <RioCadaro> Olivia chuckles to your words. They seem much older than they should be coming from someone like you but she seems to take them without considering your age. "Family's always a business of heart and soul, I gotchya there hun. Sales though...what kinda sales you lookin' for? S'alright, you can whisper it in my ear here sugar. Secrets are a business here in Clodberg, and I'm a billionaire's
02:08:18: <RioCadaro> worth of my product, I promise". Her eyes narrow a bit seductively as she leans her head towards you, eager to listen it seems.
02:09:35: RioCadaro Tyler gladly takes it as he charges your account (20,000). "Hit me up Klaus! I'd love to hear from ya whenever man! You go get some sleepin..." Tyler yawns to himself. "I gotta get sleepin' myself. Can't disappoint the boss man when the day's so close!"
02:11:17: <Revas|Wyl> Revas chuckles a little, entertaining her for a moment with a charming grin... then, quite simply, "You sure are worth a fortune to most men, I'm sure... but while I'm flattered, I'm not most men."
02:12:24: <klaus> "I'll be sure to do so!" Klaus stretches then reaches for his jacket, adjusting the sleeves as he dons it so his arm is relatively inconspicuous. "And again, thanks for everything." And he heads out of the store and back to the pokecenter.
02:15:09: <MrCompetition> Rio, how's vacation going?
02:15:21: <klaus> (we're in a session now actually)
02:15:27: <MrCompetition> (sorry, i'll leave)
02:15:34: <klaus> (you don't have to)
02:20:24: <klaus> (for future reference, if session is happening in the main channel, it's probably safe to assume it's not private :P)
02:21:00: <MrCompetition> (ok. Thanks for the heads up on that)
02:21:20: <RioCadaro> (Sorry, restroom break)
02:21:29: <Revas|Wyl> (Anyway, I think we might be leaving it like this and timeskipping to NEXT MORNING or--okay that's what it was)
02:21:56: <RioCadaro> (I'm not going to jip you guys like that...that's not fair :( )
02:22:28: <klaus> (well, it's kinda more that we want to get the part where hungover Revas goes to find Klaus conked out in the hotel room with a mechanical arm grafted on >___>)
02:22:33: <Revas|Wyl> (Actually, that was simultaneously both me and Klaus' thoughts, I think)
02:22:54: <RioCadaro> (Oh, well if you want...then...)
02:23:02: <RioCadaro> (I can totally do that. I am God, after all)
02:23:29: <klaus> ('sides all Klaus has left to reasonably do before going to sleep is to feed his pokemon and let them all out in the hotel room to socialize while he drugs himself up on painkillers and sleeps - he does get painkillers for something like this, right?)
02:23:41: <Revas|Wyl> (We know what happens to Revas anyway. ...Most of it. There's still some mystery in the air though about who the lucky guy is, but... Revas might not even fully remember just yet :3c )
02:24:47: <RioCadaro> (Sounds about right...lol, alright then)
02:25:21: <klaus> (mood shift engage: comedy mode activated)
02:27:28: RioCadaro Klaus: Tyler didn't hook you up with any painkillers...however, the Pokemon Center had some which you used. Hooooly shit did these things work. YOu'd have guess them to be tranquilizer pills or something, but it's probably due to you going in and out of numbness from the drugs. You sleep like a brick and wake up the next morning to a light tension in your left arm.
02:29:34: <klaus> "Mrmmph..." Klaus lifts his head and starts to raise his hands to rub the sleep out of his eyes. "Oh...Nope, not getting out of bed. Not if I can help it." and he settles back in and flexes his arm a bit to loosen it up before glancing around the room to his pokemon.
02:29:58: RioCadaro Revas: Olivia seemed to like your attitude, so she slipped you a free drink on the house. As the night went on more people closer to your kind of crowd come in, amused by your verbal antics and overall presence. They too seem to uphold the underage drinking fiasco, buying you drinks since it seems like you didn't have the money to be in Clodberg in the first place. You think one
02:29:58: RioCadaro man in particular was awfully nice to you in buying a good number of these drinks. As you ruse from your sleep...that's about all you can recall. Hell, where are you even at?
02:31:39: <Revas|Wyl> "...Mmm?" Revas isn't quite sure, but he's in a bed... somewhere. And--oh, okay. There's VAGUE memories somewhere in there and he's short clothes and his body's aching a little in ways unrelated to the hangover... which means things were successful. And... he's also probably been left alone. Not entirely surprising.
02:33:00: RioCadaro Revas: You are quite without clothes. Looking about the room, you don't seem to see them ANYWHERE.
02:33:29: RioCadaro Revas: You're also quite without company, too. You're alone, but things are starting to fuzz back into perspective...
02:34:06: RioCadaro Klaus: Your Pokemon are....in your arm, the two that can go in there. The others are resting peacefully about the room.
02:35:04: <Revas|Wyl> "..." Oh, that would be troublesome indeed. He gets a little more frantic about searching. It's not that he can't get more but--oh god if someone stole his shit, it's going to be mildly problematic for a little bit.
02:35:37: RioCadaro Your frantic search turns up without a reward. Yep, someone ran off with your clothes.
02:36:46: <Revas|Wyl> That's... moderately embarassing. For the love of god let him still have the rest of his stuff.
02:37:32: RioCadaro Surprisingly enough, the rest of your stuff is still here, untouched.
02:37:58: RioCadaro Klaus: The pain in your arm slowly subsides, but the weight is still something to get used to.
02:38:13: klaus quiets down and sees if any of his pokemon are awake. No need to bother the ones still sleeping.
02:38:53: <Revas|Wyl> Oh thank god. Well, fuck his pride; all he needs is a lucky number. Head still pounding a little - mostly ignored by initial panic - he pops open his dex and makes a call.
02:40:28: RioCadaro You hear a clanking sound as the phone is fumbled with when the person answers. "H-...hello?"
02:41:10: <Revas|Wyl> "...G'morning, man. I, uh... s'not too early to ask a favour, is it?"
02:42:26: <RioCadaro> "Uuunnn....baby, who's that?" "Nothin' nothin', just a friend. Shit man...um..yeah, s'up Revas? What can I *yaaawn* do for ya?
02:44:25: <Revas|Wyl> "...Oh, I see we both slept well," Revas laughs, relaxing a little. "At least yours stayed the night and didn't run off with your duds though. Speaking of which..."
02:44:47: RioCadaro Klaus: From what you can tell, everyone's still asleep, the lights on your shoulder lightly shining, then fading in sleep mode.
02:45:14: <RioCadaro> "...Speaking of which? Oh shit...don't tell me he ran off with your stuff...."
02:46:13: <Revas|Wyl> "I'm calling you aren't I? Everything's good here, just my clothes..." oh god that's kind of creepy when he thinks about it... if a little flattering? "Think you can arrange for someone to bring me some?"
02:47:56: <klaus> Yup, no need to wake anyone up, so...what to do...Klaus pulls up his laptop again. This email to Mia's been a while coming, ever since Ramtaban he's been wondering about something funny...(gonna PM it)
02:50:35: <RioCadaro> (Yep)
02:51:00: <RioCadaro> "What...man...why don't ..why don't you just go next door and ask Klaus for clothes man? You called me about this last night man..."
02:54:53: <Revas|Wyl> "I'm... I'm pretty sure I'm not in the Pokecenter. Am I?" he gets the feeling the other end of the line could tell him where he is better than he could right now.
02:56:48: RioCadaro Klaus: You hear a voice coming from the wall directly behind you.
02:57:44: <Revas|Wyl> It occurs to Revas that either his stand was very gutsy if this is true... or this town really -is- seriously lax in the legality department. Or maybe both.
02:57:45: klaus doesn't care. It's probably some stupid tourist who got drunk and then had their clothes stolen by a hooker or something. >:(
03:01:30: <RioCadaro> "Man...you really are hung over." He seems to rouse himself to sit up, which you hear. "Well, you called me about twelve times last night. Most of them you were asking me to come down to the Deckhouse or wherever you were because guys were giving out free drinks or whatnot. Then you said your new pal...you never mentioned his name, kept telling me it was a secret, was taking you to the
03:01:30: <RioCadaro> Pokemon Center to meet up with Klaus. You knocked on Klaus's door, and got REALLY pissed when he didn't answer. You pitched your Dex in your fit of rage dude! Nailed a woman square in the forehead. Then after that spat was over, you were okay again because your new best bud got you your own room to stay in. You wanted him to stay because he was better than Klaus. You felt like you couldn't
03:01:31: <RioCadaro> lie to him ever...on and on and on you went before finally you hung up."
03:01:34: <RioCadaro> (Also, it's a little of both)
03:02:43: <RioCadaro> "Actually, I hung up. You just kinda dropped the phone on the floor."
03:04:07: <Revas|Wyl> "Wh...?" Oh god no he doesn't remember any of that. "...S-seriously? I don't remember... oww." okay that explains why the dex was on the floor yeah, but trying to think anything beyond that is hard. Wait... is there something there? Ugh, he can't think about it now. "...W-well it's not like I've got any spare clothes for him to bring me..."
03:09:16: <RioCadaro> "I don't have any clothes for you either. Not always expecting you to lose your clothes an' shit. I thought you two were staying together in the Pokemon Center or somethin'. Least, that's what you told me last night. That's half the reason you went there in the first place. Look...if he doesn't have anything for you to wear, I'll get you something, alright? Just...gimme some time."
03:10:13: <Revas|Wyl> "O-okay... I'll be at Klaus' room. Uh, thanks, and stuff," Revas, now that he's not distracted by thinking, sounds rather amusingly embarassed about this whole thing. Not like himself at all.
03:11:56: RioCadaro Revas: Upon further inspection, you do notice a decent crack in the front of your Dex. Not anything functional, just the case. You must've done more than just pitch it at some woman's head to do that damage though.
03:13:50: <Revas|Wyl> "..." Revas sighs a little, staring at it. Christ what the hell did he -do- last night. And why the hell would he call up Cail a bunch like that? He's not even anywhere--was he? Was that what he'd missed in that? No, it didn't matter. The important stuff is fine. For now... well.
03:14:17: klaus finishes typing up his email and sits back in his bed. Time to relax.
03:15:07: <Revas|Wyl> He gathers up the blanket from the bed, wrapping it around himself to cover up, gathers his stuff up - going over the room about three times to make sure he's got it all because he can't quite think enough to mentally checklist, that can come later - and then after peeking out into the hall once slips to Klaus' room, knocking hastily.
03:16:44: <klaus> "Ugh...what...who could..." Klaus shakes himself awake and mutters to himself as he slowly stumbles out of bed and walks to the door. About halfway there he stops, turns around and grabs his jacket before peeking through the peephole. "Whosit?"
03:17:36: <Revas|Wyl> Revas is there, wrapped in... is that a blanket? And he's red-faced enough from embarassment that it can be seen through the peephole. "L-lemme in."
03:18:27: <klaus> "...The fuck happened to you?" Klaus quickly opens up and Revas can see he's awkardly dressed in pajamas and a thick winter jacket. "Come in. What kind of shit did you get into?"
03:19:35: <Revas|Wyl> Revas scurries in quickly, dropping his stuff on a chair for a moment and flopping down in a corner, huddling the blanket around himself. There's enough of his shoulders and such occasionally exposed to give Klaus probably a good idea why he's wrapped up like that. "Uh... lots. Apparently..."
03:20:35: klaus firmly plants his face in his palm as he closes the door. "So I see you're enjoying sin city here, are you?"
03:21:25: <Revas|Wyl> "...M-maybe," actually there is kind of a faint haze there somewhere in the back of his head reminding him that... yes, he did. "What's it to you?" he hasn't even really looked at Klaus yet.
03:23:28: <klaus> "and here I was thinking you were all excited to see your family." Klaus plops down on his bed and mutters barely above a whisper "it's too early for me to be dealing with this shit." then he straightens up and gives an amused look at Revas "So...you lose anything else 'sides the clothes, huh?"
03:25:02: <Revas|Wyl> "I was, but... I wouldn't be able to stop myself from starting shit if I had to deal with the goddamn militia around then..." Revas sighs. "No, just my--arm?" he's looking up at Klaus all of a sudden and has taken note of, well.
03:29:18: <Revas|Wyl> And then Revas busts out laughing.
03:29:25: <klaus> "The militia? What, the military's here or something? That makes it even more important for us to get our shit together then. We're not tourists here, or I'm not anyway." Klaus shakes his head. "Arm? Oh, you mean..." he rolls up his sleeves and squeezes his left hand and METAL FIST pops up over it.
03:30:06: <Revas|Wyl> "Oh man, and I thought -I- got a little crazy last night, you lost a goddamn arm, old man~" Revas teases, sticking his tongue out.
03:31:17: <klaus> "I...no, I still have my arm silly." Klaus gives an exasperated look and presses the button again. "See? My hand. Perfectly normal. I just...added something to it. At least I kept my clothes on last night. Who's the lucky gal Revas?"
03:32:45: <Revas|Wyl> Revas laughs a little, but the last quip seems to shut him up. "...I don't remember his name," he's almost pouting a bit when he drops double bombshells on Klaus.
03:33:35: <klaus> "H-his? Ohh, I see. THAT drunk, huh?"
03:34:51: <Revas|Wyl> "...What, you got a problem with me liking guys?" Revas huffs a little. Christ, wrapped up in the blanket with that kind of expression he really does seem like a kid, just making what he's saying seem even more... something.
03:36:10: <klaus> "Oh, so it wasn't the drink that did it." Klaus shakes his head. "Just didn't expect it. Probably should have, you do look a little...girly." he laughs.
03:37:17: <Revas|Wyl> "S-shut up!" Revas' pout continues. "It's not really any of your business anyway, is it?"
03:38:18: <klaus> "Oh, I guess it's not my business whether you're clothed then. Sorry about that." Klaus gives a teasing smile and starts to wake up Babbage. "Well, I'll be minding my business right here then." and he flops onto his bed with his laptop and...is he pulling a USB cable out of his arm?
03:38:56: <Revas|Wyl> "...H-hey, that's... oh god what the hell dude that is beyond creepy."
03:39:32: <klaus> "It's convenient. And hey, I made *this* decision sober."
03:40:24: <Revas|Wyl> "Tch..." Revas twitches his eye a little, and then groans a bit from his huddle. "At least mine doesn't make me a freak," he mutters.
03:40:49: <RioCadaro> (Lol)
03:41:10: <Revas|Wyl> (it just makes him... well pick your favourite word.)
03:41:19: <RioCadaro> (BIONIC!?)
03:41:25: <klaus> "And mine doesn't leave my state of clothedness in the hands of someone I'm calling a freak to their face." Klaus hums merrily as he starts up his computer.
03:41:32: <RioCadaro> (BIONIC...AAAAAAARM)
03:41:41: <Revas|Wyl> (BIONIC... AAAAAAAAAAARM)
03:43:08: <Revas|Wyl> "...F-fine, I'm sorry," Revas sighs, deciding to just give it up. "...Not that it matters. Someone's bringing me some in a bit," he muses aloud. Then sighs. "Hey, uh, Klaus? ...You've got the communicator, right? I tried to get to you last night but you weren't here or something..."
03:44:24: <klaus> "Yeah, I was kinda busy being knocked out in a basement somewhere getting the freak surgery." Klaus laughs and continues typing. "Oy, Babbage, mind grabbing that for me? Left pocket."
03:45:23: <Revas|Wyl> "...You might wanna hear some of this too," Revas sighs. "...If I told you I... kinda needed a few drinks after what I found out yesterday, would it make you stop trying to be my mom so much?"
03:46:34: <klaus> Four mechanical tentacle appendages come up out of the arm and grab the communicator from Klaus's pocket before drifting over and depositing it in front of Revas. "Mm, gotcha, I'm listening then." Klaus stops pretending to be busy with the laptop and closes it.
03:47:20: <Revas|Wyl> Revas is kind of horrified for a few seconds. It's pretty clear on his face. "...Okay seriously. That is -so- creepy."
03:48:02: <klaus> "Oy, I stopped judging you, didn't I? Maybe you need a few more drinks after this too...?"
03:49:34: <Revas|Wyl> "...Sorry. I just... this kind of thing really doesn't sit well with me." He sighs, and picks up the communicator, starting it up. "God I hope this is reasonably secure."
03:52:28: <klaus> "Mmm, and what if I had naturally lost my arm instead of adding to it? Would that have been better, if it was a necessary prosthetic? It's an improvement, and I don't feel I need to 'earn' it by sustaining physical trauma and disability." Klaus goes around the room and starts tapping his pokemon awake. "I...guess something important's come up, hasn't it?"
03:53:13: RioCadaro Revas: You turn on the communicator. After a few moments, you hear a voice. It's Clayton. "Clayton speaking."
03:54:00: <Revas|Wyl> "Yo, Clayton. It's Revas. ...Me and Klaus have made it to Clodberg successfully."
03:54:03: <Revas|Wyl> 1d20+3 just out of curiosity
03:54:05: <DiceMaid-9001> Revas|Wyl, just out of curiosity: 5 [1d20=2]
03:55:04: <Revas|Wyl> Oh god damnit he would've thought he could stabilize his voice a little better. Clayton can probably hear his state across the radio.
03:56:52: <RioCadaro> "Ah that's good....to...Revas?" Clayton's tone turns to concerned. "Is everything okay?"
03:57:51: <Revas|Wyl> "...Sorry. I might've, uh... gotten a bit carried away by the town last night is all!" he tries to laugh it off and mostly succeeds. S'not like he's lying.
03:58:10: klaus snorts in the background.
03:59:35: <Revas|Wyl> "Shut up, you, s'not like you didn't take advantage of this place too," he sticks out his tongue, not really caring that Clayton can clearly hear that.
03:59:57: <RioCadaro> "....Right, late night. Normal for a night in Clodberg. Say, speaking of..." He goes silent as he listens to you two carrying on, not wanting to interrupt.
04:00:54: <Revas|Wyl> Revas turns back quickly. "...Er, right, sorry. I'm still a bit out of it... l-let's cut to the important stuff?"
04:01:17: <klaus> "Oy! Revas! Where are your pants?" Klaus calls just loud enough to make sure Clayton hears.
04:01:47: <Revas|Wyl> "S-shut up!" that one comes complete with highly embarassed stammer oh god what is Klaus doing embarassing him like this.
04:02:49: <RioCadaro> Clayton chuckles as he hears Klaus, assuming he's being sarcastic. "Heh, yes well...what's going on with your side guys? I should mention I'm actually going to be there shortly. We've heard news that the leader of the Criterion group you guys encountered is somewhere in Clodberg right now!"
04:04:14: <Revas|Wyl> "Wh--y-you're coming here wh..." oh god so red-faced. "We're, uh... recovering. I think Klaus is gonna need a day to recover from his... god what the hell do you even call that. It's like he mutilated his arm into a machine or something."
04:04:50: <klaus> "It is -augmented-" Klaus clarifies loudly.
04:05:34: <Revas|Wyl> "And I'm, uh... I'll be good to go in a bit I hope," he adds. "And--wait, fuck, you said Criterion's here? God damnit, my sister's still here..."
04:07:03: <RioCadaro> "What? Well..I don't have much information as to why they are there or what they're up to. That's why I'm personally going to come and look into it. You guys keep your eyes peeled and watch your backs until I get there. If the military's there as well...it could get ugly."
04:07:24: <klaus> "Wait, hold on, you're fucking kidding me I thought we just had to get in contact with the gym leader here, not deal with more Criterion." Klaus is suddenly serious.
04:07:47: <Revas|Wyl> "...They're here alright." Revas shakes his head. "...Hey you wanna hear a funny story? -My whole family- is under their thumb." Revas has gone dead serious too.
04:09:04: klaus rests his chin on his hand and sighs. "Do tell. This is terrible timing. The new gym leader won't even be chosen until tonight..."
04:13:59: <Revas|Wyl> "...My sister was on the streets during one of Criterion's protests a little while ago, and they kidnapped her and were..." the anger in his voice becomes pretty clear, "turn her into 'an example' or something, because apparently she's perfect for it. And then the military 'rescued' her. Quotation marks around rescued, because apparently she's perfect for
04:15:05: <Revas|Wyl> it, so she's under watch to 'protect her' but it's more like to use her as a hostage or maybe even a weapon if they want... and hey, my brother's out of jail but only on a deal where he's -with- the military as a soldier, even if he doesn't really like it... and of course here I am wrapped up in this nonsense too..."
04:15:54: <Revas|Wyl> The anger gives way to a kind of shattered frustration by the end of that. ...Yeah, now it makes sense why he might've drank a little.
04:16:45: <klaus> "That's...wow..." Klaus gets up and starts to pace around the room. "Uh, not quite the reunion I imagined you'd have. I'm sorry. But...what the fuck do we do from here then?" he slumps back onto his bed and rubs his head. "The painkillers are leaving me woozy. I'll be out for a bit..."
04:17:15: <klaus> "...so if you've got a plan, I'm not sure how much I can help at the moment." Klaus looks clearly frustrated. Not as planned. D:
04:17:53: <Revas|Wyl> "...Oh, right. More fun news. Hey, Clayton; my brother said the military's looking to pin Ramtaban on you guys. If they get the chance to... well, that's our time limit."
04:18:40: <klaus> "They...what? Oy, can we use the footage to...no, you can't tell who's a Ronin and who's Criterion in that video..."
04:19:40: <RioCadaro> (Hey, sorry went afk >_< Give me a minute to type up a response)
04:19:53: <Revas|Wyl> "If it was -that- easy they would've done it right off the bat when I blackmailed 'em," Revas shakes his head. "Don't worry. We're not screwed -yet-."
04:22:16: klaus shakes his head and mumbles. "Sorry, I'm not in a great state at the moment. I figured things would be calm until this evening....and even then, it'd be best to wait for celebrations to settle down before speaking to the new gym leader."
04:25:37: RioCadaro Clayton is in a bit of shock. "What....they've...they've really gone over the deep end with this, haven't they!?" Frustration clearly escalates in his voice. "How could they!?...Damnit... " The communicator goes silent for a few moments before he finally responds. "So they tried to turn her...There's a lot more at stake than I thought, and with what you've found out, I need to
04:25:37: RioCadaro hurry up and get there. I have a feeling...they may strike during the ceremony tomorrow. I don't know what they're up to, but my best guess is that they're at this for the money in Clodberg. "
04:25:59: <RioCadaro> "The military would resort to using us as a scapegoat to calm the public..."
04:26:11: RioCadaro Clayton's in a mixture of disbelief and anger.
04:26:51: <RioCadaro> (Not meaning to be a downer, but I am getting a bit tired @_@)
04:26:58: <Revas|Wyl> "...We're on the same wavelength, then," Revas nods, holding a hand against his forehead. "So we've got today to scout things out... and worst comes to worst, tomorrow to stop them."
04:27:32: <Revas|Wyl> (Should be able to wrap things up soon)
04:27:43: <klaus> (yep)
04:27:54: <RioCadaro> (Okay, again sorry >_<)
04:28:00: <Revas|Wyl> (S'alright)
04:29:44: <klaus> "Oy...if it comes to that, I suggest you get on friendly terms with that Bisofrost I caught. We're gonna need some serious firepower to deal with these guys if the past is any indication..."
04:30:17: <RioCadaro> "I can only get there but so fast, but I"ll try to be there at the latest by tonight before they get a chance to strike during the ceremony." You hear Clayton growl a bit under his breath. "Just...do what you guys can, but don't go getting yourselves in danger. Hold them down as best as you can, alright?"
04:30:53: <Revas|Wyl> "...Yeah. Don't worry," Revas chuckles a little, somehow; "I'm fed up enough with things going bad."
04:31:51: <Revas|Wyl> "...Lessee... full preparation, huhn? I should track down an evolution stone of some sort, tame Bisofrost... maybe arm myself, even..." he's already musing over these things, leaning his head back against the wall.
04:32:02: <klaus> "And hey, ask Clayton if he has any idea which Criterion member is in charge of this operation..."
04:32:40: <Revas|Wyl> "...Right. Clayton, any idea who might be leading?"
04:33:38: <RioCadaro> "I don't know, at this point it could be their leader, Sarah, running the show. That's what I I've heard at least. Be especially careful...she is the Psychic type of the Criterion."
04:33:43: <klaus> "Evolution stone...? Oy, buddy, can you get that dusk stone?" The mechanical digits pop up from Klaus's arm again to pluck the dusk stone from his pocket and float it over to Revas. "I've got no need for this..."
04:34:17: <Revas|Wyl> "...Gotchya," he nods. "We'll talk more when you get here, okay?"
04:35:05: <RioCadaro> "Yes...Stay safe, okay? All of you. I mean it....." His voice trails off with the last piece.
04:35:59: <Revas|Wyl> "...You too. See you soon," Revas manages a bit of a soft smile, ending the call.
04:36:16: RioCadaro Just as the call ends, you hear Clayton mutter under his breath. "Not again...."
04:36:41: klaus uses the mechanical digits to wave the stone in front of Revas. "Oy, something like one of these?"
04:37:23: <Revas|Wyl> "..." Revas sighs a little, setting down the communicator. "Yeah. That'll do great. An Eevee unevolved... won't cut it for this, if worst comes to worst."
04:37:44: klaus nods. "And an Umbreon is perfect for dealing with a psychic."
04:38:52: <Revas|Wyl> "Mmm," he nods, though he just sets it with the rest of his stuff for now. Evolving can wait. For him to get clothes, at least. And then... and then? ...And then!
04:39:10: <Revas|Wyl> "...The competition is today," Revas' eyes light up a little.
04:39:37: <klaus> "I know." Klaus sighs. "Damned stupid way of choosing a gym leader. Makes our job that much tougher..."
04:40:26: <Revas|Wyl> "...That aside," Revas is almost grinning. "In a city like this... the perfect defense is for the city itself to defend itself, don't you think?"
04:40:46: <klaus> "Yeah, su- wait, what do you mean?"
04:41:39: <Revas|Wyl> Okay, definitely grinning. "Don't worry. We are -not- going to be alone in dealing with this," Revas grins... and starts explaining things to Klaus.
