second dump of lergs

•Saff|GM> Damian has been waiting for this meeting for /days/ and now it's finally here. His appointment with the PRT. The secretary sent him upstairs... apparently he's meeting with the Director herself. Her office is on the second floor, and the door is made out of a heavy wood with a golden plaque on it reading 'Director Phoebe Hartmann' on it. This is it. Damian
9:11 AM can't screw this up... ||

9:24 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr Damian does his best to resist the urge to fiddle with his stone suit as he walks up to the door.  It had taken him a while to make it this far, not just because of the fact that apparently the PRT didn't believe in working on the weekends, but because nobody had actually bothered to tell him where to go and had just said to head upstairs.  The only reason
9:24 AM why he wasn't late for the meeting was because he had wanted to get there early to give a good first impression.
9:31 AM And the worst part was, Denys wasn't even able to give him any more information about the spikes over the weekend.  Apparently he'd been busy with vital maintenance of his Tinker gear the entire time, although Damian wasn't really sure why Nigel had giggled when Denys had said that he would be polishing his equipment...
9:36 AM None of that matters now though, even if Damian doesn't have any actual facts to back up his argument, he's confident that Director Hartmann will understand the justice behind his actions and will support them.  And so with newfound confidence, Damian knocks on the door.

<Yum|Hartmann> Director Hartmann is seated behind her desk flipping through a report that came through a moment ago about some perverted tinker. She takes a moment to skim it before starting to read the full report, maybe she can finish it before this appointment started
9:44 AM Sure enough the moment she starts to read it their is a knocking at her office door. Hartmann sighs lightly puts the report in her desk drawer next to a small box of poptarts, looks up, and says "Come in."

<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr ...
10:00 AM Damian opens the door and starts to awkwardly make his way inside.  Turns out the PRT didn't design their rooms to take into account people with wings, so the only way for him to get through them was for him to wrap them around himself and shuffle in sideways.  It wasn't exactly his most majestic entrance, but it would do.
10:03 AM Faustus → Faustus|GM, Fulvus → Fulvus|Rosebud
10:07 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr Once he's managed to make his way inside though, Damian is able to stretch himself back out comfortably to his full wingspan and looks across the table at Director Hartmann.

<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "Good afternoon Director, I apologize if I've interrupted you in the middle of something important, it took me slightly longer than originally anticipated to get here due to some unforeseen difficulties.  I do hope that that I haven't made you feel that I don't properly appreciate the time that you've set aside for this meeting as I do hope that we're able
10:11 AM to work together to sort things out."
10:11 AM ||
10:17 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> "You arrived on time so you have already made one smart decision." she pauses looking the cape over taking mental notes on posture, cleanliness, and overall appearance. "Now I see no reason to waste time with banter let's hear this pitch of yours."
10:17 AM ||
10:28 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "I'll keep it simple then, certain aspects of my power have the potential to be exploited for commercial use, and based on the research that I've done the PRT has supported those parahumans that have chosen to do similar actions in the past.  I believe that if the PRT were to assist me in this venture that not only could we do some good for the community,
10:28 AM but that we could reinvest the money right back into it to further help it out."
10:28 AM ||
10:33 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> The director takes a long blink as she hears the same opener that everyone has used before. "Yes this is the part we already know and why you got this meeting. What I need is the specifics here: what does your power do that lets you make this claim, How will it be profitable to the community, and what do you hope to accomplish as a result."
10:40 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr And with that, Damian knew that his plan to make his way through the meeting via relying on feelings instead of facts had started to come apart.  If it could have even been called a plan in the first place.
10:40 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> "Now I would like to get down to business so if you would rather spend time talking about precedents and prattle that doesn't have to do with these subjects I will happily make you an appointment with the deputy director and he will condense it down for me."

10:41 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr ((oh rip thought you ||ed))
10:41 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> ((saff will edit it just continue))
10:46 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "To put it very simply then, I have the ability to create spikes that when inserted into a person they feel what can be best described as a euphoric high.  I believe that they could be put to use for a variety of not only medicinal uses but also potentially recreational should we choose to also go down that path.  But at the very least I know that there are
10:46 AM more than a few citizens of this town who due to various misfortunes in their life have chosen to turn to the abuse of various dangerous substances in order to cope."
10:46 AM Damian pauses for a moment and extends a hand palm up, from which he grows a spike that he snaps off.
10:54 AM "These have the potential to completely replace substances such as Methadone when it comes to assisting those who need a helping hand with dealing with their addictions, as not only would the direct effect from the spikes assist in dealing with whatever withdrawal symptoms that they may possess, but the limited shelf-life of the spikes would make it
10:54 AM difficult for people to sell them on like so many addicts do with Methadone.  The fact that from my testing I've observed no side-effects from their use, as well as the fact that the effect instantly passes when the spike is removed from the body shows that they possess many advantages over other substances such as Alcohol and Marijuana that would help
10:54 AM encourages users to give up those dangerous habits."
10:54 AM ||
10:56 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> She clears her throat "what is the shelf life, and how many of these can you produces at a time."
10:56 AM ||
10:59 AM → Turncoat joined  •  vandaway → vanderhuge, FossilWork → fossil
11:02 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "From the testing that I've done, the spikes that I've produced have a shelf life of 24 hours after being removed from my body, and I have yet to reach a limit as to how many I can produce at a time, I have yet to reach a limit.  From what I've seen I can create spikes across my entire body and replace them as fast as they are removed.  Also, I've recently
11:02 AM been in contact with a Tinker who I believe may have the potential to create a device that can extend the shelf life of spikes that are placed inside of it in order to create a supply of them."
11:02 AM ||
11:06 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> "how do you intend to distribute these spikes, is your goal to run a rehabilitation facility or to perhaps sell them to the local hospitals? In other words what is in this for you?"
11:06 AM ||
11:15 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "To be perfectly honest, that all depends on how much funding I'm able to acquire beforehand.  As much as I would love to have full control over my own business and facility, I do understand that trying to do so would require an initial cash investment for not only a place to work, but also for other staff to assist in running it.  As such the most likely
11:15 AM plan will be to initially work with local hospitals and pharmacies for initial distribution, and to use the money and information gained from this initial trial run to then create my own facility."
11:15 AM ||
11:22 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> "hmm" Hartmann breaks from the rapid fire line of questioning to let the young man breath. We want to put the pressure on but not break the ones that are doing things right she thought.
11:26 AM "Are you willing to submit to a testing and screening process that would result in the protectorate having a full dossier on you,  and would you be willing to participate in medical efforts in the event of an endbringer attack in the surrounding area."

11:36 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr Just when Damian is starting to take a moment to relax internally after the Director's barrage of questions, from out of nowhere comes on that he had never expected to have to ever answer.  What he would do if there were an Endbringer attack.
11:39 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> A small smirk comes across her face for just a moment as she sees Damians reaction to her last question
11:40 AM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr It wasn't really something Damian had ever wanted to think about, in fact even just the Director raising the possibility of an Endbringer ever attacking the nearby area was just...  It honestly made Damian feel sick.
11:41 AM So when he responds to these latest questions, instead of the sure and confident image that he had been trying to convey earlier, right now all that's left is the uncertainty and doubt he's being trying to hide the entire time.
11:44 AM "I would be more than happy to let the protectorate assess my powers in any way that they feel that they need to...  But as to your other question, I...  I don't think I could do all that much to be perfectly honest.  All that my powers could do would be able to do would be to assist those that need it in passing on in comfort, and I would be more than happy
11:44 AM to provide as many spikes as would be needed for that.  But I personally feel that I would be better suited in assisting in evacuation due to my flight, I'm no doctor and pretending to be one would do more harm than good."
11:44 AM ||
11:50 AM
<Yum|Hartmann> "So that's what you really sound like" She pauses for a moment thinking over the entirety of the discussion. "Very well then we are interested in a partnership the specifics of which will be ironed out in the coming days, now i do have to ask why not join the protectorate?"
11:50 AM ||
12:02 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "Because as much as I respect the work you and your team do, I was hoping to find my own path in life.  That and I may have accidentally convinced both Flip Off and Utopian that they should stop being villains and that they should become heroes instead, and so I feel that setting an example of how parahumans don't have to only do work that involves violence
12:02 PM could do a lot to help them become better people."
12:02 PM ||
12:06 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> So Utopian is the tinker he mentioned earlier, we will have to check these spikes for master properties while we are at it, Hartmann thinks as he is speaking.
12:11 PM "Well it seems like we can progress to the next step." Hartmann reaches into her drawer, and pulls out a stack of paperwork. After leafing through it for a moment she finds the document she was looking for. "This is a standard NDA regarding the things we have discussed and the testing we will be doing in the near future i ask that you look it over and sign
12:11 PM it. I will be discussing with the other higher ups of the department over the next few hours and we should have an answer to you no later than Wednesday. Now being curt I do believe that this is something we are interested in it will be more of a question of what portion of the budget we can allocate to rogue activities at this time."
12:13 PM "Speaking of budgets would you care to join me at the firing range?"
12:13 PM ||
12:14 PM
<•Saff|GM> ...
12:15 PM Before Damian can respond, red lights begin strobing and a siren goes off. "WARNING. QUARANTINE PROTOCOL IN PLACE. BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINANT DETECTED." ||
12:16 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr ...
12:16 PM Damian honestly has no clue what the firing range has to do with any sort of budget, but those thoughts are cut off when the siren goes off.
12:24 PM And as much as Damian would like to say that his first response was to immediately jump into action to save the day, instead is was the far less dramatic response of looking between the Director and the strobing lights above them and asking a very simple question.
12:24 PM "Is there anything I can help with or should I just stay out of the way?"
12:24 PM ||
12:26 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> "Damian sit down in that chair." Hartmann reaches into her pocket producing a radio. "Abbot either give me a situation report or tell me who can! Now!"
12:26 PM ||
12:26 PM
<•Saff|GM> ...
12:27 PM "Abbott here. Seems something happened in the morgue." He says, his voice fading in and out on the radio. "Haven't heard much else. Entire medical suite is down." There's a sound from the other end, kind of like a cry.
12:27 PM "Hartmann, my daughter's up there." ||
12:29 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> She quickly switches the frequency "Squad one current  location"
12:29 PM ||
12:30 PM
<•Saff|GM> ...
12:30 PM "Ground floor, Over." Vasquez responds. ||
12:31 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr ...
12:32 PM Damian follows the Directors orders, but he's brimming with a nervous energy, constantly looking back behind him at the door and fiddling with the spike in his hands.
12:32 PM ||
12:32 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
12:35 PM "Carmen proceed to the second floor stairwell with full squad, have both foamers ready," She switches back to Abbotts line "Abbott squad one is on there way ill manage the squaddies while you get me information find out what the hell is going on! Also you are given permission to use my overwrite frequency to so you can give me info regardless of channel."
12:37 PM "Sorry new rogue you are going to be staying here for a bit while i manage this please get behind my desk" she says trying to sound a little nicer, the effect is most likely for naught however as while doing this she draws a pistol from the desk.
12:38 PM "Squad two proceed to the fourth floor and secure the stairwells up from the third floor."
12:39 PM Now we just have to wait for information she thinks as she fiddles with the pistol.
12:39 PM ||
12:39 PM
<•Saff|GM> ...
12:40 PM "Roger." Both Vasquez and Grey say. Abbott takes a bit longer to respond.
12:40 PM "News from the third floor." He says, nearly out of breath. "You know how the body of the Mackenny girl had the mouth sewn shut?" ||
12:41 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
12:41 PM "What are we up against here Abbott"
12:41 PM ||
12:41 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr ...
12:43 PM As the Director fires off her orders over the radio, Damian follows her advice and takes up position next to her on the other side of the desk.  As soon as he's there though, he gets ready to throw himself at whatever comes in through the door if he has to and even grows a second spike just in case.
12:43 PM ||
12:43 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
12:44 PM She takes a moment to glance at the young man, hmm good instincts shames hes a pacifist she thinks.

<•Saff|GM> "Cichlid didn't X-ray the damn body before he cut open the mouth. It sprayed some kind of poison. Spread through most of the third floor before the vents shut down. The rest of the building should be fine but," Abbott's voice cracks, "Hadley's up there."
12:48 PM "Hartmann." Another voice says. "It's Dr. Parker." ||
12:50 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
12:51 PM Before responding to Dr. Parker "Ok Abbott I need you to contact Philly's PRT director have them send Azoth as quickly as possible." Switching to another frequency "Firebear go find Abbott make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."
12:52 PM "Yes doctor?"
12:52 PM ||
12:52 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr ...
12:56 PM As soon as Damian here's that there's somebody trapped upstairs and that there's some sort of poison, he instantly knows what he has to do.
12:57 PM "Director Hartmann, I'm literally made of marble right now and that poison shouldn't be able to effect me.  If there's somebody up there that needs help then I can get them out safely."
12:58 PM As he talks, Damian is already starting to head towards the door, not wanting to leave somebody who could be in danger any longer than he has to.
12:58 PM ||
12:59 PM
<•Saff|GM> ...
1:00 PM "Roger Dodger." Fire Bear says. "Am I allowed to burn anything?"
1:00 PM "Third floor is secured." The Doctor says. "Only Dr. Cichlid and Ms. Abbott have been injured. But um..." The radio cuts out, but she quickly comes back on. "You need to keep Abbott off of the floor." ||
1:00 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
1:01 PM → Mishie|Phone joined (Mishie@net-pa4.41n.132.1.IP)
1:01 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> "You wait right there or i will have you foamed on your way up"
1:02 PM "Firebear i need your status also i give you permission to burn a trashcan to pacify the deputy director"
1:04 PM "Doctor is there any chance of contamination of other personnel and is the contaminate airborn?"
1:04 PM "Abbott is Azoth on route and why in the hell am i being told to keep you off the floor"
1:05 PM and finally switching one final time "Squads one and two the deputy director is not allowed on the third floor."
1:05 PM ||
1:05 PM
<•Saff|GM> ...
1:08 PM "Fire Bear here. On my way to apprehend the deputy director. Bringing him to you." She says. The radio buzzes, and the doctor comes on.
1:08 PM "No chance of spread. Agent is powder based. I'm doing okay. Only Cichlid and Hadley are down."
1:08 PM There's a knock on the director's door.
1:08 PM "Hartmann, it's Fire Bear. I got Abbott." She says. ||
1:08 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
1:09 PM "Come in Abbott did you contact Philly?"
1:09 PM ||
1:09 PM
<Mishie|Phone> ...
1:14 PM "Director, I'm fairly certain that the only reason why I breathe when I'm in this form is just out of habit.  As long as that poison doesn't effect rock then I'm safe to help out the effected upstairs.  Even if I can't bring take them out of the area then I can still take up medical supplies.  And if breaking quarantine isnthr problem I can just fly my way there and not touch the floor."
1:14 PM ||
1:14 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
1:16 PM "Fine Squad one allow the rogue passage into the third floor, but not back out." She grabs a spare radio out of the desk tossing it to Damien. "keep that on you and keep it on that station, this is a one way trip until we get things sorted out so if you are going to go go."
1:16 PM ||
1:16 PM -||
1:17 PM "Also just know that we are not liable in any way though we will do what we can to help"
1:17 PM ||
1:17 PM
<•Saff|GM> ...
1:17 PM
<Mishie|Phone> Damian catches the radio and nods at the Director, and rushes back out the door to where he needs to go.
1:17 PM ||
1:19 PM
<•Saff|GM> Damian makes his way past Abbott and Fire Bear, the latter of which has a big grin on her face. "Brought him, Boss!" She says before dumping him on the floor.
1:19 PM As Damian leaves, he can see a bunch of the office jockeys and various other personnel sitting at their desks. They don't look particularly panicked, probably because Fire Bear had just come running through. Still, Damian doesn't know where the hell the staircase is. ||
1:20 PM
<Mishie|Phone> ...
1:21 PM As much fun as it was to wander around lost before, he doesn't really have the time for the right now.  As such he makes his way over to the closest person that looks like they belong to ask for directions.
1:22 PM ||
1:23 PM
<•Saff|GM> The nearest person is a handsome looking man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He's wearing a dress shirt and a navy blue neck tie with matching slacks. He has a little bit of stubble, and he's drop dead gorgeous.
1:23 PM "May I help you?" He asks, looking at Damian with a frown. ||
1:24 PM
<Mishie|Phone> "Can you tell me how to get to the stairs upstairs?  This is my first time here and I haven't exactly been shown around yet."
1:24 PM ||
1:26 PM
<•Saff|GM> "The stairs?" He frowns and bites his lip. "Well, there's a quarantine right now." ||
1:28 PM
<Mishie|Phone> "And I'm heading up there to help, and the longer I spend not knowing how to get there the longer it takes until I can help the people up there."
1:28 PM Damian isn't usually the type of person to judge, but he's really starting to dislike just how slow and inefficient things are at the Norwalk PRT.
1:29 PM ||
1:30 PM
<•Saff|GM> "Fine, then. Go that way and they should be on your left. Same way you got up here." The man says. ||

1:43 PM
<Mishie|Phone> Damian gives a quick thank you and now with those new directions makes hisbway back to the stairwell.  It did make him feel a bit silly to have to ask for directions when he just come this way, but considering how many weong turns he took before he didn't want to try his luck again.
1:43 PM ||
1:47 PM
<•Saff|GM> The stairwell is filled with five squaddies. As soon as they see him, two level foam sprayers at him.
1:47 PM "Are you Indulgence?" One of the squaddies asks. She's a tall, thin hispanic woman with her hair cut short. ||
2:07 PM
<Mishie|Phone> "I am, do you know how many people are still up there or where they are?"
2:07 PM ||
2:09 PM
<•Saff|GM> The two with the sprayers lower them. The woman steps forward. "Three people. Two are inured. We're waiting on a cape from Philly to come down."
2:09 PM There's a buzz from the radio. "Problem on third...." but the line goes dead. ||

2:10 PM
<Mishie|Phone> Damian wasn't really sure what that person had been tryinf to say, but it probably wasn't anything good.
2:14 PM "Well I'll do my best to find and help them.  Do you want to take a step back when I open the door?"
2:15 PM As he talks, Damian lightly steps off from where he's standing and starts to float his way over, stone wings fluttering pointlessly behind him.
2:15 PM ||
2:17 PM
<•Saff|GM> The woman nods, and the group of squaddies takes a step back. "You have permission to open the door." ||
2:22 PM
<Mishie|Phone> Damian nods back her and floats his way over to the door and makes his way inside, and immediately begins his search.
2:22 PM ||
2:25 PM
<•Saff|GM> There's not much to search for, considering it looks like the room is trapped in a Jell-o mold of doom. There's a woman in a lab coat towards the edge of the bubble, and a man closer to the center. Right in the middle, though, is a girl that Damian recognizes. She's in his grade. He has classes with her. She looks like she's coughing, but she doesn't seem
2:25 PM affected by the bubble the way the man and the woman are. ||
2:26 PM
<Mishie|Phone> Now that Damian has made his way inside, he realizes something very important.
2:26 PM He has no clue about what to do next.
2:28 PM Putting the radio to his mouth, he pushed the transmit button and starts to talk into it.
2:35 PM "I've found the 3 people upstairs, two seemed to be trapped here but Hadley is free.  Do you have any medical rooms up here where I could find an oxygen tank and mask?"
2:36 PM As he talks on the radio,he makes he way over to Hadley to check on her.
2:36 PM ||
2:37 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
2:38 PM "listen very closely i need to either run away from Her or stick her with a spike don't ask questions just do it!"

2:48 PM
<Mishie|Phone> Damian makes his way over to the bubble and looks around it, when he pokes a spike in it it slowly sinks in until he pulls it out.
2:49 PM He's fairly certain that he wont do much good just charging in, so he'll have to be smart about this.  So moving his thumb off of the transmit button he calls out to her.
2:50 PM "Can you hear me Hadley?  Walk over to me if you can."
2:50 PM ||
2:51 PM
<•Saff|GM> ...
2:53 PM There's a strange sound coming from the bubble, like she's trying to talk. However, Damian can't parse the words while outside of it. She's on the ground, curled up on her side and coughing up chunks of blood. She doesn't look as bad off as the man, who's near unconscious. ||
2:55 PM
<Mishie|Phone> That's...  that's not good at all.
3:08 PM Although Damian's initial plan failed, once he sees that she's looking towards him he beckons her towards him, keeping the spike stretched out in front of him and ready to abandon it if the slow sphere moves with her.
3:08 PM ||
3:10 PM
<•Saff|GM> She rises to her feet, though she doesn't seem hampered by the bubble. She's still coughing, and she stumbles as she walks. The bubble starts to move with her, inching closer to Damian. ||
3:12 PM
<Mishie|Phone> Making sure that the inital spike is still in the bubble and at a height that she can reach it easily, Damian moves away from the bubble and uses the second spike in his hand to mime stabbing himself in the chest, hoping that she can figure out what he intends.
3:12 PM ||
3:13 PM
<•Saff|GM> Hadley's eyes go wide, and she shakes her head. Instead, she drops back to her knees and coughs again. ||
3:14 PM
<Yum|Hartmann> ...
3:15 PM "Parker i was just told that Hadley is out and about what is happening in there
3:15 PM "
3:15 PM ||
3:15 PM

3:17 PM "There appears to be a bubble around her that's slowing down everything within a set radius of her.  She's currently coughing blood but she is able to move and respond still.  I'm currently in the middle of trying to get a spike near her though so I can't really give you too many details right now."

3:23 PM "I don't know who Parker is, but if they're in here they probably can't answer you.  There appears to be a bubble around her that's slowing down everything within a set radius of her and the other two people in the room are trapped inside with her.  She's currently coughing blood but she is able to move and respond still.  I'm currently in the middle of
3:23 PM trying to get a spike near her though so I can't really give you too many details right now."
3:30 PM As he talks, Damian does his best to smile reassuringly at signals at her to wait where she is.  He then starts to squeeze his way past the bubble to try to get into another room.  He needs to find some props for this crazy game of charades.

3:32 PM
<•Saff|GM> ((hm. you should roll for something here to keep from getting stuck in the bubble, but i'm not sure what. Ath, probably? I'm gonna go with ath. Roll ath.))
3:32 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr $roll 1d6-1 Ath
3:32 PM
<•[ATM]> Mishie|Damian "Ath" [6] -1 = 5
3:34 PM Dodger → ColdGold
3:35 PM
<•Saff|GM> Damian is able to make it past the bubble without getting sucked in. He's in a hallway with several doors, each labeled with a gold plaque on the outside. The closest one is 'Exam room 1'. ||
3:36 PM ColdGold → Dodger
3:42 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr Damian makes his way inside and starts to search through the cabinets, desperately looking for anything that looks mediciney enough to help him out.
3:43 PM ||
3:44 PM
<•Saff|GM> There are a few bottles of various over the counter things. Ibuprofen, aspirin, acetaminophen, Benadryl... A few boxes of band-aids, gauze, and a bottle of rubbing alcohol. ||
3:44 PM Dodger → ColdGold
3:50 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr Damian just grabs everything that he can find and carries it in his arms back towards the bubble so that he's in front of her again.
3:50 PM ||
3:52 PM
<•Saff|GM> ((Charm it up boyo)
3:53 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr $roll 3h6+2 Charm
3:53 PM
<•[ATM]> Mishie|Damian "Charm" [2] (1) (1) +2 = 4
3:55 PM
<•Saff|GM> Hadley keeps her eyes on Damian, even though she's still coughing. Darn it. Didn't the director say they were bringing in someone to deal with the poison? She's still curled on the ground, though if anything she looks a bit better than she did before. ||
3:57 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr Now that he's got his props, Damian puts them down and points at the spike and then back at the various supplies at his feet, then once again mimes stabbing himself in the chest.
3:57 PM ||
3:58 PM
<•Saff|GM> Hadley frowns, but starts hobbling over again. The bubble gets closer to Damian in the process. ||
4:02 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr As the bubble grows closer, Damian just walks backwards at the same time, constantly smiling towards Hadley and beckoning her to follow him.
4:02 PM ||
4:04 PM
<•Saff|GM> He keeps backing away as the bubble gets closer, and Hadley's hand reaches out for the spike. She looks confused, and also in pain. Still, she grabs the spike and brings it towards herself, closing her eyes before she plunges it into her thigh.
4:04 PM $roll 1d6 H guts
4:04 PM
<•[ATM]> Saff|GM "H guts" [5]  = 5
4:08 PM
<•Saff|GM> Hadley kneels back to the ground again, and the bubble begins to dissipate around her. She's coughing still, but she doesn't look like she's in as much pain. The man, however, is coughing his lungs out and doesn't seem to be conscious. The woman walks over to Damian and frowns.
4:08 PM "You're the rogue, right?" She asks. "That was either really smart, or really stupid. The bubble was part of the reason the quarantine protocols were triggered, but I think that bubble was keeping Dr. Cichlid alive."
4:08 PM "QUARANTINE LIFTED. ALL DOORS OPENING. PLEASE REMAIN CALM." ||
4:13 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr That wasn't exactly the response that Damian had been hoping for, but to be fair it's not like he'd come in with a plan or anything.
4:20 PM "Well, at the very least it means that we can try to move him somewhere better and try to treat him with what's available here, and worst comes to worst we can take the spike away from Hadley again to preserve him."
4:20 PM ||
4:25 PM → Jackknife joined  ⇐ Fulvus and Dolyn quit
4:31 PM
<•Saff|GM> The radio buzzes, and Damian can hear a woman's voice. "Fire Bear here. Azoth arriving in approximately 20 minutes, over." There's a pause, and then she frowns. "What's the status on Hadley?" ||
4:34 PM ((GET RID OF THE FROWNING GOD DMAN I TOOK ALLERGY MEDICINE))
4:37 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr ...
4:37 PM Damian isn't sure why, but a part of him is positive that Fire Bear is frowning right now.
4:40 PM "I've managed to get Hadley to turn her bubble off, but it looks like Dr. Cichlid isn't doing that well and might not last that long..."
4:41 PM Looking up from the radio, Damian it offers it to the mysterious woman.
4:41 PM "But they're all free now and should be able to answer your questions far better than I can."

4:41 PM Antioch|GM → •Antioch, Nick|Freddy → Nick, Bel|Dags → Bel
4:44 PM
<•Saff|GM> The woman takes the radio and nods, before walking off into the corner to relay the information. "By the way, Rogue. You're free to go home. The poison's been contained." She shrugs. "Though you might want to wash off before leaving. There's a shower down the hall. I'll watch these two until Azoth shows up." ||
4:46 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "Well I don't have to leave right now do I?  If there's anything I can do to help I can stay as long as necessary."
4:49 PM As he talks, he heads over to Hadley to check up on her and see how she's doing, crouching down next to her and putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
4:52 PM "You want me to get you anything Hadley?"
4:52 PM ||
4:52 PM $roll 3h6+2 Charm
4:52 PM
<•[ATM]> Mishie|Damian "Charm" [6] (1) (1) +2 = 8
4:54 PM
<•Saff|GM> Hadley shakes her head. She still looks pretty dazed, though she doesn't look as scared. "It wasn't supposed to be like this." She mumbles, coughing a few more times. "Where's May?"
4:54 PM The woman walks over to Damian and puts a hand on his shoulder. "I hope I don't have to tell you that anything you saw with Miss Abbott should be kept strictly confidential." ||
4:56 PM ⇐ Mishie|Phone quit (Mishie@net-pa4.41n.132.1.IP) Ping timeout: 181 seconds
4:57 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr Damian just turns to look at the woman.
4:58 PM "It's alright, I promise that I would never betray her like that, her secret is safe with me."
5:00 PM And at this point, that's all Damian can really say.  If he wants to prove that he'll keep this secret he'll need to do so with actions.
5:00 PM tubes|GM → tubes
5:01 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "I don't know where May is Hadley, but if you want I can try to find something to help you out.  Are you have problems with your breathing still?"
5:01 PM ||
5:01 PM ⇐ Turncoat quit  •  fossil → FossAsleep
5:04 PM
<•Saff|GM> "Not as bad." She says, though she's still coughing and wheezing. Hadley tries to get herself to her feet, but the effect from Damian's spikes keeps her down.
5:04 PM "Azoth is heading upstairs." The woman says to Damian. "You should go. Thank you for your help. I'll pass on the good word to the director." ||
5:05 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "No problem, I'm happy that I could help you out."
5:05 PM ||
5:08 PM
<•Saff|GM> Damian is able to rinse off in one of the showers. On his way out of the building, he passes a man who's wearing a mask and is carrying a large super soaker looking thing on his back. From the way everyone is running around and kissing his ass, Damian can extrapolate that he's Azoth, whoever that is. Still, Damian was able to get in a meeting with the
5:08 PM Director and helped Hadley. It was a lot, and the adrenaline is just wearing off. ||
5:08 PM ((all right. last post))
5:09 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr ...
5:10 PM Just before he's about to leave, Damian remembers that he never bothered to go back to get the papers from the Director.
5:11 PM As such, he quickly makes his way back to the Directors office, hoping that this can be resolved quickly.
5:11 PM ||
5:12 PM
<•Saff|GM> Damian runs into Fire Bear down the hall, who flags him down. "Hey! Naked Angel guy!" She calls. ||
5:13 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "W-what?  That isn't even close to my name."
5:13 PM ||
5:15 PM
<•Saff|GM> "Close enough. Hartmann wanted me to give you these papers, because she's running around and screaming at people. Here." She hands them over, then turns around "Now, I've gotta let Law back in. Have a good one!" ||
5:15 PM
<Mishie|Damian> Hamish Kerr "Y-you too?"
