Raine meets Poolboys Part 1

[12:04am] Alivi: So it is a mission, the basic drill you hear that something is on the other side. When the sub surfaces, it has broken river ice on a frozen landscape.
[12:04am] Strife: "Should have worn another layer."
[12:05am] Tehpillowstar: "Damn, is there extra clothing in the sub?"
[12:05am] Alivi: perception

[12:06am] Strife: "just making polite conversation.
[12:07am] Strife: Rick sniffs annoyedly.
[12:07am] Alivi: Strife's character whose name escapes me atm and Lily and Chloe notices the snow falling around them is…..acting strange. As if….swirling around them. Watching.
[12:07am] Puppetmaster: "Yeah, well, Africans have an excuse."
[12:07am] Strife left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer)
[12:08am] Strife joined the chat room.
[12:08am] Tehpillowstar: "Im not American"
[12:08am] Strife: "I'm not terribly cold."
[12:09am] Tehpillowstar: "This snow..."
[12:09am] Puppetmaster: "Is stupid. Let's get a move on."
[12:09am] Alivi: It swirls gently around chloe.
[12:09am] Alivi: An abnormal chill accompanying it
[12:10am] Strife: "No, it's falling wrong, June."
[12:10am] Tehpillowstar: "...The cold is not right"
[12:10am] Strife: "Do we have a flamethrower in here?"
[12:11am] Puppetmaster: June looks at it. "I hate snow."
[12:11am] Tehpillowstar: She zips up her jacket and puts on her bandana in a way so it covers her mouth and ears.
[12:11am] Alivi: Rick, you noticed something a bit more, as if the snow was trailing off towards some trees.
[12:11am] AgentFlowers: "Hmm. Snow fairies?"
[12:12am] Tehpillowstar: She puts on her gloves. "Never trust a fairie."
[12:12am] Strife: "Well, it's reliably falling in that direction." Rick points with a combat gloved hand
[12:12am] AgentFlowers: "The last fairies I saw made me shoot Alex. Of course, he had it coming, but still."
[12:12am] Puppetmaster: June steps out of the sub and gets ready to move.
[12:13am] Tehpillowstar: "...Should investigate the woods?"
[12:13am] Strife: "One at a time across the ice."
[12:13am] Strife: Rick sets up his rifle to cover June's move.
[12:13am] Puppetmaster: Light as a feather, June goes.
[12:14am] AgentFlowers: "Watch how I do it." Lily gets down and crawls on her stomach across the ice, rifle on her back.
[12:14am] AgentFlowers: "Spread out your weight so you don't stress one spot on the ice."
[12:15am] Alivi: everyone. Agility
[12:15am] Strife: Rick wonders who she is lecturing.

[12:16am] Alivi: Lily and June are able to step onto the ice and walk with little to no problem
[12:16am] Alivi: However, Chloe as soon as your feet hit the ice you hear a crack, Rick the cracks under you are visibly bigger, the ice under you feels so brittle.
[12:17am] AgentFlowers: "Get down! Spread out your weight!"
[12:17am] Tehpillowstar: "Oh crap, Lily!"
[12:17am] Strife: "crawl forward, Chloe, fast pace"
[12:17am] Alivi: roll agility
[12:17am] Strife: Rick gets down, slung rifle and tomahawk out
[12:17am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe complies with Lily's instructions and crawls

[12:18am] Puppetmaster: June continues as she was.
[12:18am] Alivi: Both Chloe and rick manage to get off the cracked ice.
[12:18am] AgentFlowers: Lily sighs in relief.
[12:18am] Tehpillowstar: "...Jesus..."
[12:19am] Puppetmaster: "Ice is thin. Noted."
[12:19am] Tehpillowstar: Chlie takes several deep breaths in relief.
[12:19am] Strife: "how's everyone set for equipment, I think that we're going to want to wait awhile before approaching the sub again"
[12:19am] AgentFlowers: "You see why I told you to crawl? If you put too much weight on a single point, the ice cracks."
[12:20am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe stuffs her canteen inside her coat to keep it defrosted. "Yeah, I'm good"
[12:20am] AgentFlowers: "Alright, lets move." Lily readies her rifle and takes point.
[12:21am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe walks behind Lily
[12:21am] Puppetmaster: June's right behind Chloe.
[12:21am] Strife: Rick takes rear security.
[12:21am] Tehpillowstar: Her weapons out and ready
[12:22am] Puppetmaster: June unsheathes her knife in an icepick grip.
[12:22am] Strife: ~wasn't I the person who noticed what direction we needed to go?~
[12:22am] Alivi: A cold wind blows through the trees.
[12:23am] AgentFlowers: Lily is the senior agent.
[12:24am] Strife: He spares a second to turn his collar to the cold and damp

[12:29am] Alivi: Rick, Chloe, and Lily someone is watching, Rick….they are behind that tree.
[12:30am] AgentFlowers: Lily holds up her fist for a halt.
[12:30am] Tehpillowstar: "Someone's watching..." Chloe whispers.
[12:30am] Strife: "Contact, behind the tree at the ten."
[12:30am] Strife: Rick keeps his rifle down, but the tree in his peripheral vision
[12:30am] Puppetmaster: June takes a low stance. "How do we wanna handle this?"
[12:30am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe stops, points her pistol towards the tree Rick mentioned
[12:31am] AgentFlowers: Lily raises her rifle to the tree. "Identify yourself."
[12:31am] Alivi: "You first. You are outsiders, why are you here?"
[12:31am] Strife: Rick sighs and aims his rifle in that direction
[12:31am] Alivi: The voice is even.
[12:32am] Puppetmaster: June keeps low to give a smaller target.
[12:32am] AgentFlowers: "That's classified."
[12:32am] Alivi: "Its something I need to know. Who are you. Why are you here. Who sent you."
[12:32am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe stays silent
[12:33am] Strife: Rick lets the high and mighty senior agent talk, even if she's going to mess it up.
[12:34am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe mentally notes that Lily has had as much Pool experience as herself.
[12:35am] AgentFlowers: "We're a sightseeing tour. Lovely tundra you've got." Hello dry sarcasm.
[12:35am] Alivi: "This isn't a time for jokes."
[12:35am] Alivi: Is that a hint of irritation?
[12:35am] Puppetmaster: June disappoint.
[12:35am] Tehpillowstar: "We're here to help"
[12:36am] Strife: "that qualified as a joke?"
[12:36am] Tehpillowstar: ~A probable scenario that may or may not happen~
[12:36am] AgentFlowers: "Come out from behind the tree. We're not hostile, our weapons are for self defense only."
[12:36am] Alivi: You hear a sigh.
[12:37am] Alivi: "I need to know….who sent you."
[12:37am] Strife left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer)
[12:37am] Strife joined the chat room.
[12:38am] AgentFlowers: "We're a recon team. We got a signal on our end, we were sent to check it out, and if possible, resolve the situation."
[12:39am] Alivi: "…Recon team….from where?"
[12:39am] AgentFlowers: "Canada."
[12:39am] Alivi: There is surprise. "Not helping, what organization."
[12:39am] Alivi: Note the voice has a finnish accent.
[12:40am] Puppetmaster: ~Hostile to the Foundation in 5, 4, 3, 2...~
[12:40am] Strife: "Mounties."
[12:40am] Alivi: "….The mounties."
[12:40am] AgentFlowers: "Well, I'm Canadian Armed Forces. He's RCMP, the hoser."
[12:40am] Strife: "We check up on weird things in the wilderness."
[12:40am] Alivi: "….In Finland."
[12:40am] Alivi: Everyone Agility.

[12:44am] Alivi: "I am not a fairie. And I find that rather insulting."
[12:44am] Puppetmaster: June tries. Can she break out of it?

[12:45am] Alivi: "You are becoming more immature by the second. Don't tell me you are really the new agents."
[12:46am] Strife: Rick pulls out his tomahawk, assuming that simple leg power won't be enough.
[12:46am] Alivi: He scoffs.
[12:46am] Tehpillowstar: "Damnit, polevoi some thing like that..."
[12:46am] Puppetmaster: "Whoa whoa whoa... What?"

[12:50am] AgentFlowers: "Awesome. Well, the Foundation sends its regards, then."
[12:50am] Puppetmaster: "The Hand, or whatever it's called? First guess, considering all the anomalous... stuff."
[12:50am] Alivi: "Wait….Foundation?"
[12:50am] Puppetmaster: "Yep."
[12:50am] Tehpillowstar: "Hand was never part of the Foundation."
[12:50am] Alivi: "Whose the Hand."
[12:51am] Alivi: There is major confusion in the voice.
[12:51am] Tehpillowstar: "Never mind that"
[12:51am] AgentFlowers: "...Well then. It sounds like we have a few things to discuss."
[12:51am] Strife: ~note to self, instruct teams to let espionage do the talking~
[12:51am] Alivi: Chloe the ice breaks.
[12:51am] Puppetmaster: June sheathes her knife. "Well obviously you're not hostile or we would probably be dead."
[12:51am] Alivi: "I can kill you at any moment."
[12:52am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe lowers her weapon. "Lovely"
[12:52am] Puppetmaster: "Yeah, my point exactly. And we're still here."
[12:52am] AgentFlowers: "Actually, considering the attempts to drive us off, I'm guessing you're protecting something behind you that we just happened to stumble over."
[12:52am] Strife: "And I can put a tomahawk into this forest. The explodey kind" Rick mutters
[12:52am] Puppetmaster: "So, like Rick said, how about we go about this civilized and talk it out over a cuppa?"

[12:55am] Strife: Rick offers his axe.
[12:55am] Alivi: "Do not try me."
[12:55am] Alivi: The voice has a hard edge.
[12:55am] Puppetmaster: "Yeah, gonna be honest, doubt it's the smartest move."
[12:56am] Strife: "You're threatening me to, while you've got me all iced."

[12:59am] Strife: "Hey Chloe, I don't mind the ice all that much, but it might muss the coat, you know?"
[12:59am] Tehpillowstar: "I won't kill you Rick. Just lemme free you"
[12:59am] Alivi: It is a tall, slim male. With light Blonde hair, and frosty green eyes. He has very pale skin, and looks pretty young. He is studying them. A serious look on his face.
[01:00am] AgentFlowers: Lily looks him up and down, and whistles. "...Snow elves, then?"
[01:00am] Alivi: "….What?"
[01:00am] Alivi: He looks confused
[01:00am] Tehpillowstar: "Wrong mythology, methinks"

[01:01am] Puppetmaster: "... I'll agree with you on that."
[01:01am] Alivi: "…….skip….?"
[01:01am] Alivi: He is getting flustered.
[01:01am] Tehpillowstar: "Foundation jargon. Ignore them"
[01:01am] Puppetmaster: "Nevermind. Let's just get to introductions, shall we?"
[01:01am] Alivi: "….uhhuh..."
[01:02am] Strife: Rick's toes start to go numb.
[01:02am] Alivi: he looks at them expectantly.
[01:02am] Puppetmaster: "Doctor June Saro."
[01:02am] Strife: "Guy stuck in ice."
[01:02am] Puppetmaster: "Pleased to meet you and thanks for not killing us."

[01:05am] Alivi: Rick it seems to be enchanted.
[01:05am] AgentFlowers: "You're thinking it's an illusion."
[01:05am] Alivi: "Probably."
[01:06am] AgentFlowers: "If I let you hold it, would that help?"
You were promoted to operator by ChanServ.
[01:06am] Strife: Rick spares a look towards the deicing, then looks up and whistles.
[01:07am] Strife: Other people with blades near him isn't exactly comforting
[01:07am] Tehpillowstar: Presuming that Chloe frees Rick, she gives him back his tomahawk.
[01:07am] Strife left the chat room. (Connection reset by peer)
[01:07am] Strife joined the chat room.
[01:08am] Alivi: "…I'm Raine Virtanen….former Agent of the Bureau of Special Acquisitions…"
[01:08am] Strife: "What country is the BSA with?"
[01:08am] AgentFlowers: There's a soft noise of crunching snow behind the white haired stranger, as a young boy, apparently about 13 or 14, warily comes out of the brush.
[01:08am] Alivi: "They are global."
[01:09am] Alivi: Raine turns around and looks at the young boy, he gives a small smile.
[01:09am] AgentFlowers: "What year is it?"
[01:09am] AgentFlowers: Lily is catching on a little.
[01:09am] Alivi: "Ah…..Alex?"
[01:09am] Alivi: Raine rubs the back of his neck. He totally has lost track.
[01:09am] Tehpillowstar: "Hmm...Sounds a little like the GOC..."
[01:10am] Tehpillowstar: "Maybe not"
[01:10am] Tehpillowstar: More internal muttering
[01:10am] Strife: "sounds like an alternate reality to me, actually"
[01:10am] AgentFlowers: The little boy is silent, hurrying to Raine's side, and watching the Poolboys with uncanny cobalt blue eyes.
[01:10am] Tehpillowstar: "Well, we're in the Pool, what do you expext?"
[01:10am] Alivi: Raine puts a hand on his shoulder.
[01:10am] Alivi: "The pool?"
[01:10am] Strife: Rick watches back, better than watching the ice
[01:10am] AgentFlowers: Lily nods to Rick. "That's what I was thinking."
[01:11am] Strife: "To be able to move my feet, please?"
[01:11am] Tehpillowstar: Didn't Chlie free him?
[01:11am] Alivi: he did
[01:11am] Alivi: shedid*
[01:11am] AgentFlowers: The boy - Alex - stares right back. Rick, MDef.
[01:12am] Strife: 6df+6 not interrupted, at least
[01:12am] Glacon: Strife: not interrupted, at least: 9 (6df+6=0, 0, +, +, 0, +)
[01:12am] AgentFlowers: 6df+10 I don't like you
[01:12am] Glacon: AgentFlowers: I don't like you: 7 (6df+10=+, -, -, 0, -, -)
[01:12am] Puppetmaster: "Alright, we assume he knows nothing from here on out."
[01:13am] Alivi: "What?"
[01:13am] Puppetmaster: "Except that anomalies exist."
[01:13am] Alivi: "..."
[01:13am] AgentFlowers: Alex shrinks a little, inching behind Raine.
[01:13am] Puppetmaster: "The pool is something that can... more or less transport people between points in space and time."
[01:14am] Strife: Rick keeps looking, shaking ice crystals from his boots.
[01:14am] Alivi: "….i see..."
[01:14am] Puppetmaster: "We had no idea where we were going to end up when we went in. Where are we and what's going on?"
[01:14am] Alivi: "Northern Finland…."
[01:14am] Tehpillowstar: "Huh."
[01:14am] Alivi: "….I dunno about the world as much….Alex would, as would Klaara..."
[01:14am] Strife: "it's got a habit of vomiting monsters on our end if we don't help, you see"
[01:14am] Alivi: "They keep track more than I do."
[01:15am] AgentFlowers: "Basically a pond that is also a TARDIS. We get signals through it occasionally, and we're a recon team. We get sent to find out what's sending the signal, and why."
[01:15am] Alivi: Raine stares at Lily.
[01:15am] Alivi: Then he begins laughing.
[01:15am] Tehpillowstar: "...That is a good description of the Pool"
[01:15am] Alivi: "You sound like Zoe...."
[01:16am] AgentFlowers: "Who?"
[01:16am] Alivi: "….An old friend…"
[01:16am] AgentFlowers: Alex glues himself to Raine.
[01:17am] Alivi: "Its okay…" He says reassuringly.
[01:17am] AgentFrost left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
[01:17am] Alivi: "….Basically….I left the BSA."
[01:17am] Alivi: "…They have been occasionally sending agents out here….however theyve been quiet as of late."
[01:18am] Strife: "Left on good terms or bad ones?"
[01:18am] Alivi: "….you decide."
[01:19am] Puppetmaster: "Quick question. Were you anom-... supernatural before you left, or did becoming as such cause you to leave, or..."
[01:19am] Alivi: "I was born this way….weren't you?"
[01:19am] AgentFlowers: Alex, at this point, speaks up a little. His voice is as tiny as he is, and heavily accented in Russian. "...He stole me."
[01:19am] Puppetmaster: "We don't have powers like that, no."
[01:19am] Puppetmaster: June looks at the kid confused.
[01:19am] Alivi: Raine bites his lip
[01:20am] Alivi: "…I see..."
[01:20am] Tehpillowstar: "We're just muggles"
[01:20am] Puppetmaster: "..."
[01:20am] Alivi: "…muggles?"
[01:20am] Puppetmaster: June has the feeling she's the only one trying to not get them killed.
[01:21am] Tehpillowstar: "Normal people" Chloe shrugs. "It's a pop culture reference"
[01:21am] AgentFlowers: Lily slings her rifle, as it looks like she won't be needing it. "We're not supernatural. We're normal humans."
[01:21am] Alivi: "Okay."
[01:21am] AgentFlowers: Alex whispers again. "...I like Harry Potter too."
[01:21am] Alivi: Raine smiles at Alex.
[01:22am] Puppetmaster: June smiles at him as well.
[01:22am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe smiles at Alex.
[01:22am] Puppetmaster: "Good films, those."
[01:23am] Tehpillowstar: "I read the books"
[01:23am] Puppetmaster: "Books as well."
[01:23am] AgentFlowers: Alex nods at Chloe.
[01:24am] Puppetmaster: "Anyways... Is there anything concerning or significant that's been going on here?"
[01:24am] AgentFlowers: Lily's studying them, putting two and two together...smells like wood burning. "So, you stole this kid from the Bureau, I take it? And that's why they're after you?"
[01:24am] Puppetmaster: "Mm."
[01:26am] Strife: 6df+7 sneak manuever preparing to jump away from any forming ice
[01:26am] Glacon: Strife: sneak manuever preparing to jump away from any forming ice: 7 (6df+7=0, 0, +, +, -, -)
[01:26am] Tehpillowstar: Chlie takes a few steps away from tge ice.
[01:27am] Tehpillowstar: the rive rice
[01:27am] Tehpillowstar: *ice
[01:32am] Tehpillowstar: Chloe sighs and loosens tge bandana, now getting a little moist from her breath
[01:33am] Strife: "hey, could I get my tomahawk back?"
[01:33am] Puppetmaster: Chloe already passed it back.
[01:33am] Strife: Nvm
[01:33am] Tehpillowstar: She removes it and instead wears it on her hair. She looks quite motherly instead of cowboy.
[01:33am] Strife: Rick replaces his tomahawk if he hasn't done so already
[01:35am] Puppetmaster: June's lips are starting to go a bit blue. This is officially the coldest country she's ever been in. 1/10, would not visit again.
[01:37am]
