Frosty (10:09 pm): F: Good morning, Numl. Frosty (10:11 pm): F: How are your hands? Comanche (10:11 pm): walking up to Ryan's room to see if he is there Dio Cheysa (10:12 pm): Ryan: he is not - he has been absent a lot lately shylarah (10:12 pm): Sk: leaving late to go jobhunting Take care, Bits. hug shylarah (10:12 pm): Sk: goes shylarah (10:12 pm): B: ....sigh Comanche (10:12 pm): Should have told him to grab a towel grumble, walk over to Bits Heya shylarah (10:13 pm): B: weak smile and a small wave Contrast (10:13 pm): N: Well, uh... Contrast (10:14 pm): N: Fully healed. But I'm waiting for the fur to grow back in some... Cobalt (10:14 pm): has managed to make do during the night by finding a broom closet in an out-of-the-way location and sleeping there shylarah (10:14 pm): L: hunting down Cobalt Comanche (10:15 pm): Want to head down to get breakfast? Frosty (10:15 pm): F: nod Frosty (10:15 pm): F: It shouldn't take too long until you're good as new, Numl. Contrast (10:16 pm): N: Yeah... smiles Cobalt (10:16 pm): she stumbles out of the closet, kicking off a bucket and muttering to herself shylarah (10:16 pm): B: ....shrug, and then a "whatever" nod Dio Cheysa (10:16 pm): and she is also getting breakfast, having already gone through her morning swim shylarah (10:16 pm): L: standing outside the door ....What did I tell you the other day...? shylarah (10:16 pm): L: spent most of the night looking for Cobalt, actually Cobalt (10:17 pm): I figured I'd try it my way, first. shylarah (10:17 pm): L: ....And how is that working for you, Cobalt? not sarcastic or biting. Just a simple question Comanche (10:18 pm): walk downstairs into the cafe shylarah (10:18 pm): B: follow Commie Frosty (10:18 pm): F: C'mon, let's work out together.

Even I don't like closets. makes a face Too many cleaning products. Dio Cheysa (10:19 pm): (afk for a while @@) shylarah (10:19 pm): B: amused by the donut cold cereal, and milk. But she drinks the milk, instead of putting it in the cereal shylarah (10:22 pm): L: You know...if you don't want to feel like you are imposing, perhaps they would accept a trade-in-kind. It's not nearly as common as it once was, but there are those who still do that sort of thing. shylarah (10:22 pm): L: and I know there are things in the garden that need doing -- I make most of the staff....uneasy. Comanche (10:23 pm): ...you're gonna eat that cereal dry? shylarah (10:24 pm): B: blinks at him and nods Comanche (10:24 pm): ...ew. blink shylarah (10:25 pm): B: ... looks at him like he's the odd one, but shrugs shylarah (10:25 pm): B: eats Contrast (10:27 pm): N: nods Yeah.

She looks a bit down, but other than that, fine Comanche (10:34 pm): Hey, something will come up soon. You wanna swim or something? shylarah (10:34 pm): ((hey, Ash)) Ash Fox (10:35 pm): (Hey guys) shylarah (10:35 pm): B: .....shake her head, still not meeting his eyes Ash Fox (10:35 pm): (I'm running Windows 7 oo) shylarah (10:35 pm): ((....I'm not)) shylarah (10:35 pm): ((^.^))) Comanche (10:35 pm): (How is it? I was looking at maybe getting it once they work out the kinks :O) shylarah (10:35 pm): ((wait, that's even past Vista?) Frosty (10:35 pm): (Get it, Tranny) shylarah (10:36 pm): ((....x.x.)) Frosty (10:36 pm): (It's basically Vista except it works) shylarah (10:36 pm): ((...nicely put.)) Ash Fox (10:37 pm): (It's pretty sweet) Ash Fox (10:37 pm): (Oh, and it manages to run even on this old machine.) Ash Fox (10:38 pm): (Which reminds me, I need to run a further test on it. brb.) Comanche (10:38 pm): Hey, Sparks will be fine. Contrast (10:38 pm): (back) Frosty (10:39 pm): F: working out, and panting by now shylarah (10:41 pm): B: glances toward the window, and shivers slightly, remembering the other evening Dio Cheysa (10:42 pm): (back) shylarah (10:42 pm): ((weeba)) Ash Fox (10:43 pm): (brb, updates.) Cobalt (10:43 pm): Not sure if I have a green thumb... Contrast (10:44 pm): N: also panting - maybe more than Frosty shylarah (10:44 pm): L: Actually, it'd be better for me if you don't. There's this one particular weed that is a real nuisance. It's called bindweed, and the /last/ thing I want it to do is grow. smile Frosty (10:44 pm): F: probably, Frosty's rather in-shape. But he's going slower than normal so Numl doesn't feel very outpaced. Just enough to get him to want to improve... Frosty (10:45 pm): F: How're you feeling, Numl? Cobalt (10:46 pm): Well...it's worth a try, I guess. Cobalt (10:46 pm): I should probably try it first before deciding to stick with it, though. Dio Cheysa (10:46 pm): was having breakfast, methinks Dio Cheysa (10:47 pm): today it's a fish smoothie Dio Cheysa (10:47 pm): this bartender is amazing, if disgusted by his brilliance Contrast (10:47 pm): (... ew...) Frosty (10:47 pm): (I'm reminded of Iron Chef America's infamous trout ice cream) shylarah (10:48 pm): L: ... fair enough. Don't worry. It keeps growing back....and it's all over. X.x; The hardest part is untangling it from the other plants....starts to head towards the garden. shylarah* (10:48 pm): * shylarah (10:48 pm): ((...I'm reminded of the neopets fish-related food. Including cake and yes, I do think smoothies, too. o.o;; )) Comanche (10:48 pm): You ordered a WHAT smoothie? blink at Dio shylarah (10:50 pm): B: glance at Dio, and then away Contrast (10:52 pm): N: lets go of a bar, pants Like I... can't do... another pullup... Dio Cheysa (10:52 pm): SLUUUURP SLURP SLURP Frosty (10:52 pm): F: laughs Don't push yourself too hard, Numl. Knowing your limits is the first part of raising them. Frosty (10:53 pm): (I wonder if I'll trip a circuit breaker or something if I tried to turn both of my PCs on at once on the same socket. o.o) Comanche (10:53 pm): snicker at Dio shylarah (10:53 pm): ((....probably. Use a powerstrip)) Comanche (10:54 pm): (Eh, doubt it) Dio Cheysa (10:55 pm): finishes it, then gets up to leave Cobalt (10:56 pm): Well, let me see this weed you're talking about. heads off toward the garden area shylarah (10:56 pm): B: tenses a bit when Dio stands, but only slightly Comanche (10:58 pm): Hey Dio... seen Ryan lately? Dio Cheysa (10:59 pm): looks over at Comanche shylarah (10:59 pm): L: more than happy to point out several examples It's in the morning glory family, but it's a pain. It wraps around other plants, stealing their light, and strangling them. It's pretty easy to get out of the ground, once you find where it attaches. Oh, it's going after that bush again....curse it....I should have caught it sooner....It loves hiding underneath hastas. Or any other large-leafed low-lying plant -- and then it just swarms up and kills the whole thing.... Dio Cheysa (10:59 pm): Let me answer that question with a question. Dio Cheysa (10:59 pm): Have you seen his dismembered body lately? Frosty (11:00 pm): E: >< shylarah (11:00 pm): L: moves over to the bush, which does have ((NICE!!)) hastas growing near the base, and starts unwinding vines with arrow-shaped leaves along them from its branches Comanche (11:00 pm): Well, no... sigh Frosty (11:00 pm): (1000 Ways To Die is on <3) shylarah (11:00 pm): B: shiver Frosty (11:00 pm): (also brb, water) shylarah (11:01 pm): ((...we have one to submit.)) shylarah (11:01 pm): ((guy trying to steal copper wire...)) Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): Then the answer is no. shylarah (11:01 pm): ((taking it off electrical lines, and such?)) shylarah (11:01 pm): ((....got electrocuted eventually. nod Poetic justice!!)) Comanche (11:02 pm): (Way too common lolz) shylarah (11:03 pm): ((eh....but he killed himself doing it. really dumb.)) Comanche (11:03 pm): I need to find Frosty and see if he's found anything. Dio Cheysa (11:04 pm): I have not dismembered him either. shylarah (11:04 pm): ((laughattack)) shylarah (11:04 pm): B: @.@;; Contrast (11:04 pm): N: Alright... stands up straight We done? Frosty (11:04 pm): (Back) Frosty (11:04 pm): (That happens quite often @ copper) Frosty (11:04 pm): F: nod shylarah (11:04 pm): ((eh. )) shylarah (11:05 pm): ((...how does oneend up with SPiCy celery?!)) Frosty (11:05 pm): (you add spices to celery?) shylarah (11:06 pm): ((...straight off the stalk, Sandy. it grew this way.)) Frosty (11:06 pm): (shrug Genetic engineering?) Cobalt (11:06 pm): starts tearing up the weed Frosty (11:06 pm): F: Where to? You hungry? shylarah (11:07 pm): L: grin easy. There's a plant that we're trying to save, under there. shylarah (11:08 pm): L: And it's a good idea to get the whole root, although I rarely do. Contrast (11:09 pm): N: Nah... thirsty. Cobalt (11:09 pm): Okay...starts looking at the base of it Frosty (11:10 pm): F: nods There's a water fountain over there. point shylarah (11:10 pm): a bunch of the strands come together. If one were to, say, wrap a paw around them and pull carefully, a good portion of root ought to come up shylarah (11:10 pm): L: working from the top down Contrast (11:11 pm): N: heads over to that for a drink, huge tails swishing behind him Frosty (11:12 pm): F: sits, panting Doesn't that feel good? Comanche (11:13 pm): sitting by Bits So you're just gonna sit here all day? shylarah (11:13 pm): B: ...hesitant nod Frosty (11:13 pm): (pmg) Contrast (11:13 pm): N: answers after a long drink Uh-huh... Frosty (11:13 pm): (I just stuck two pieces of gum in my mouth, Trident melon twist and tropical) Frosty (11:14 pm): (it tastes heavenly) shylarah (11:14 pm): ((...oikay....)) shylarah (11:14 pm): ((...oh, gotcha.)) Cobalt (11:14 pm): doesn't have that sophistication and tears at it roughly shylarah (11:14 pm): ((...glad you like it. Now I know who to ship all my unwanted Trident candy from Halloween to...)) Frosty (11:14 pm): (Trident gum is never unwanted D=) Comanche (11:14 pm): Won't you be bored? shylarah (11:15 pm): L: ... ~Well, at least she's enthused~ shylarah (11:15 pm): ((....I don't like it.)) shylarah (11:15 pm): ((you want it. Thus, it is yours.)) shylarah (11:15 pm): B: shrug Frosty (11:16 pm): F: Know what causes that feeling? Contrast (11:17 pm): N: What? Frosty (11:18 pm): F: After exertion, the body releases endorphins, chemicals that...explain Contrast (11:18 pm): N: o__o shylarah (11:18 pm): ((...giggle)) Comanche (11:19 pm): (XD) Frosty (11:20 pm): (Bwahaha) Cobalt (11:20 pm): (Dio: There are many ways of exertion...) shylarah (11:20 pm): (...such as killing?)) Cobalt (11:20 pm): (Dio: Yes!) shylarah (11:20 pm): ((gigglesort)) shylarah (11:20 pm): ((or do you mean....?)) Cobalt (11:20 pm): (Dio: And maiming, dismembering, slaying, flaying...) Frosty (11:21 pm): F: It's called a runner's high. nod shylarah (11:21 pm): ((...how about cleavage?)) Cobalt (11:21 pm): (Dio: ...considers) shylarah (11:21 pm): ((snicker)) Cobalt (11:21 pm): (Dio: Cleaving is one, yes.)

Comanche (11:22 pm): So you just sit here all day? shylarah (11:22 pm): ((poke commie)) shylarah (11:22 pm): ((...oops)) shylarah (11:23 pm): B: .... shrug Contrast (11:24 pm): N: Runner's high, huh. Contrast (11:25 pm): N: stretches a little I might not be strong, but I've always been the quickest runner in my grade. Frosty (11:26 pm): F: Really? Comanche (11:27 pm): C'mon, you got to do something interesting shylarah (11:27 pm): B: gives him a look that says, "like what?" Dio Cheysa (11:28 pm): walks off Cobalt (11:29 pm): Well, I'm not really sure how well I'm doing it...but this is kind of satisfying. Contrast (11:29 pm): N: I bet I could outrun you. Frosty (11:29 pm): F: Well, once we catch our breath, let's see. smiles Comanche (11:30 pm): Swimming, video games, board games, sports, something? shylarah (11:31 pm): L: You are doing fairly well, considering you haven't done it before. Try to be a little more gentle, alright? Look. finds a base, grips the handful of vines, and pulls, slowly but steadily Curse it, it /would/ have to be a stubborn --eep! falls down on her butt examines the results Look. a good eight inches of root , on this one. ^.^ Cobalt (11:32 pm): laughs a little shylarah (11:33 pm): B: . . . blinks at "video games" and looks at him questioningly Cobalt (11:33 pm): I see. So that's the goal, then? shylarah (11:33 pm): L: As much of what you can't see as you can get, yes. It grows back if you leave the root there. shylarah (11:34 pm): L: ....falling down is entirely optionaly. Cobalt (11:34 pm): chuckle Okay. shylarah (11:34 pm): optional, even Comanche (11:34 pm): Video games? Like in arcades, or the type you play on a TV? shylarah** (11:35 pm): L: returns to the tedious task of untangling the vines from the bush itself shylarah (11:35 pm): B: nod hesitantly -- Sparks loved that sort of thing looks around, and then looks back at Commie Dio Cheysa (11:36 pm): (gotta go afk again) shylarah (11:36 pm): ((kk)) Comanche (11:37 pm): What? shylarah (11:38 pm): B: doesn't see any video games Contrast (11:38 pm): N: ~Hmm.

She has a good sense of rhythm, and flows across the arrows like water. She has played before, and loved the game. Faust (11:58 pm): (It's so much fun though and my dad taught me some methods, like how you save your winnings after a certain point instead of using them to gamble more) Faust (11:58 pm): (Definitely going again sometime) shylarah (11:58 pm): B: at some point, she pulls her hair back to get it out of her way, and let the back of her neck get some air shylarah (11:59 pm): ((...heh.)) Comanche (11:59 pm): has a... not soo good sense of rhythm, but at leastmoves well, enjoying himself shylarah (11:59 pm): B: probably beats him Contrast (11:59 pm): N: grins Alright...

Faust (12:03 am): (shy away from tilde shylarah (12:03 am): ((She's only three years younger than he is, I think....)) Contrast (12:03 am): N: You say when. shylarah (12:03 am): ((...Shy goes TOWARDS the tilde!)) Frosty (12:03 am): It's a joke. :P) Comanche (12:03 am): (He's 29 at this point IIRC) shylarah (12:04 am): ((MINE!!!! ~)) Faust (12:04 am): (hide from tilde) Frosty (12:04 am): F: Go! takes off! shylarah (12:04 am): ((....And she's 27. )) Dio Cheysa (12:04 am): (back ) Frosty (12:04 am): (Guys I said it was a joke, no need to correct me) Contrast (12:04 am): N: takes off as well, like a bullet Frosty (12:05 am): F: probably passed - he's a decent runner but he's on the strong side of athletic, not the speedy side shylarah (12:05 am): ((26, orry)) Contrast (12:05 am): N: Definitely on the speedy side - he picks up more speed, too, running leaning quite far forward shylarah (12:05 am): ((sorry)) Cobalt** (12:06 am): helping with the weeding Frosty (12:07 am): F: manages to stay at least close to Numl ,but doesn't pass him Comanche (12:07 am): What else do you want to do? Maybe play air hockey, go have lunch later? shylarah (12:08 am): L: finally untangles what proves to be about a two-square-foot area's worth of bindweed Contrast (12:08 am): N: starts to slow down just slightly, so when he reaches the end of the hall he doesn't slam into the wall when he turns around ~Whoo!~ shylarah (12:08 am): B: blinks at him,and shrugs Frosty (12:09 am): F: there a second later shylarah (12:09 am): B: a bit listless shylarah (12:09 am): L: ....ugh. Comanche (12:10 am): Something wrong? shylarah (12:10 am): ((glomps)) shylarah (12:10 am): ((Mew!)) Ari/Arik (12:10 am): (hello^^ ) shylarah (12:10 am): ((=^.^=)) Dio Cheysa (12:10 am): (yowdy there ^^) Contrast (12:10 am): N: doesn't slow down when he reaches their starting point, however, and when he passes it and tries to stop, he can't in time before going flying into the open door of a broom closet shylarah (12:10 am): ((ouch.)) Contrast (12:10 am): N: behind which Frosty hears a crash soon after Ari/Arik (12:11 am): (and guess maybe I should have logged in with my Mew alt XD;;...ah well^^; ) Frosty (12:11 am): F: sops at the door to the gym ...Numl?

Frosty (12:13 am): F: walks over, amused shylarah (12:13 am): B: glances towards the direction of the hotel door -- or the nearest window in her field of vision Dio Cheysa (12:14 am): (Say, Shy, you have the logs for everything from the last week, right?) shylarah (12:14 am): ((....um....yeah, more or less...o.o)) Comanche (12:14 am): Sparks coming? shylarah (12:15 am): B: .... shakes her head, not yet pulls out the hairband and puts it on her wrist Dio Cheysa (12:15 am): (I'll need the ones that Ari is missing, pretty much oo) shylarah (12:15 am): ((....which ones are those?)) Comanche (12:15 am): Want to go watch and wait for him in the cafe? shylarah (12:16 am): B: .....nodnodnod, not exactly enthused -- more worried and concerned Frosty (12:16 am): F: You should work on stopping. nod, with a smirk Frosty (12:16 am): F: You're pretty fast, though. Contrast (12:16 am): N: gets up I get going too fast to stop sometimes. Comanche (12:16 am): walk into the cafe and takes a seat shylarah (12:17 am): B: sits with him, though she probably would rather be in the corner shylarah (12:17 am): B: plays with the hairband Dio Cheysa (12:17 am): (16th through 22nd) Comanche (12:17 am): watching her play with the hairband Is that something special? shylarah (12:18 am): ((...oy vay. alright, I'll work on that....wait, what?! it's not the 22nd yet!)) Dio Cheysa (12:18 am): (just realized that myself) shylarah (12:18 am): B: ....shrug, shake head Comanche (12:18 am): (You never told me you lived in the future Shy!) shylarah (12:18 am): ((....yeah. not even the 18th until this morning...)) Comanche (12:18 am): (What are the winning lotto numbers?) shylarah (12:19 am): ((....The lottery is a tax on people that can't do math. And I wouldn't know. I don't watch the news.)) shylarah (12:19 am): (and if I DID, I wouldn't tell! that's cheating!)) shylarah (12:19 am): ((but yes, you found me out...)) Frosty (12:19 am): (It's not cheating, it's just making money off of the dreams of stupid people. Which is my goal in life anyway. :P) Frosty (12:19 am): F: You should go jogging with me. shylarah (12:19 am): ((erm. sixteen, not eighteen. oops. heh.)) Frosty (12:20 am): (BRB, reheating pizza) Dio Cheysa (12:20 am): (9th to the 13th then for logs) shylarah (12:20 am): ((z0mg, why are you doing that to a perfectly good cold pizza?!?!)) Comanche (12:20 am): (Ew, cold pizza) Comanche (12:20 am): Hey, he'll be fine nod shylarah (12:20 am): (((....YUM cold pizza!!)) Dio Cheysa (12:21 am): (depends on the pizza type and company it's made by @ cold) Comanche (12:21 am): (It has no flavor!) Dio Cheysa (12:21 am): (I like me a cold olive pizza here and there) shylarah (12:21 am): B: .... look down shylarah (12:21 am): ((...it has more flavor, in some instances. or at least a better flavor. And the texture's great.)) shylarah (12:21 am): ((olive pizza! alright!! hi5!)) Comanche (12:22 am): Hey hug her gently before letting go Don't be so down alright? shylarah (12:22 am): B: tries a wavery smile, but doesn't look much happier Frosty (12:24 am): (Shy, this is not the type of pizza you eat cold) Faust (12:24 am): (Eww! @ cold pizza) shylarah (12:24 am): (((...what kind is it?)) Frosty (12:25 am): (Very. Very. Good.) shylarah (12:25 am): ((hasn't met a pizza she liked that she wouldn't eat cold)) shylarah (12:25 am): ((sometimes I don't like 'em hot, but love 'em cold...)) Dio Cheysa (12:26 am): ...okay, time for a break. sits back after wiping her forehead Dio Cheysa (12:26 am): (oops, wrong account XD; ) Cobalt (12:26 am): she said that instead shylarah (12:26 am): ((...yeah, confused)) Cobalt (12:26 am): (so, can you send me the logs from the 9th to the 13th? Cobalt (12:26 am): ) shylarah (12:26 am): L: alright. sits down So. What do you think? Frosty (12:27 am): (I got an "I void warranties." t-shirt today <3) Contrast (12:27 am): N: Jogging? dusts himself off, and pulls a tail around himself to brush it shylarah (12:27 am): ((...not today. Wrong computer)) shylarah (12:27 am): ((....nice!! I want one!)) Contrast (12:27 am): (Pft) Contrast (12:27 am): (Do not!) Frosty (12:27 am): F: Sometimes I jog to work instead of bike. Cobalt (12:27 am): (okay, send me them whenever then) Frosty (12:27 am): (voids Contrast's warranty) Cobalt (12:27 am): Well, it is something...but will the staff be okay with me doing this? shylarah (12:27 am): ((please remind me tomorrow?)) Dio Cheysa (12:28 am): (sure thing) shylarah (12:29 am): L: ...you'd have to ask them....and you'd be better off asking them with someone like....hm. Frosty, I think. I wouldn't help your chances any. wry smile Cobalt (12:30 am): Hmm...I'll think about it. I'd prefer to do it on my own, really. Cobalt (12:30 am): Who do I ask? Frosty (12:30 am): F: If I get up early enough, I do. nod Contrast (12:30 am): N: Speaking of that! Contrast (12:30 am): N: Are you suuure I can't come and help you are work or something? Ari/Arik (12:30 am): (hello@Callisto ) shylarah (12:31 am): ((..Cally's been here...))) Frosty (12:31 am): F: nods Really, you and Contrast would just be redundant. Ari/Arik (12:31 am): (weba) Comanche (12:31 am): (lolz, script error and then went to the wrong alt) shylarah (12:31 am): L: ...I don't know. looks ashamed It's still a pretty new hotel, and I don't understand the whole thing....how it works, and so forth. I'm sorry.... Frosty (12:32 am): F: But...you've never seen my shop, have you? Ari/Arik (12:32 am): (typically says hello to different alts, even if they're run by the same person^^; Though if you meant that that alt had been here already and I just hadn't realized it, then whoops^^; ) Contrast (12:32 am): N: shakes his head Nope. shylarah (12:32 am): ((ah, Isee)) shylarah (12:33 am): ((wonders if Roy is around)) Frosty (12:33 am): F: Well, you want to go there with me today? Cobalt (12:34 am): It's okay, it's understandable I guess. Contrast (12:34 am): N: nod! shylarah (12:34 am): L: ...You never did say. What's your special talent? I mean, you don't have to tell if you don't want to...but I am curious. Frosty (12:35 am): F: Alright. smile Connie might already be there... Comanche (12:36 am): (brb) shylarah (12:36 am): ((ditto, actually)) Cobalt (12:36 am): Well...I can create...these...I'm not sure what to call them. Frosty (12:36 am): (My dad wants a palm pre o.o) Frosty (12:37 am): (We looked at one at Best Buy and the no-contract price is like $879 and he was apparently not expecting that) Frosty (12:37 am): (It was hilarious) Comanche (12:43 am): (back) Ari/Arik (12:44 am): (weba) Contrast (12:48 am): N: Well? Contrast (12:48 am): N: Now? Contrast (12:48 am): N: hopes up Comanche (12:49 am): How long do you think it will be until he arrives, Bits? Contrast (12:49 am): (Who's all where by the way?) Frosty (12:49 am): F: Alright, alright. Cobalt (12:50 am): she's in the garden for now Dio Cheysa (12:50 am): and she's in the hallways, wandering Contrast (12:50 am): C: let's say Contrast finds Dio, then! Frosty (12:51 am): F: It's not too far, about six blocks away. Dio Cheysa (12:51 am): is found! Contrast (12:52 am): C: Hey, Dio. Contrast (12:52 am): N: Are we gonna run there? Frosty (12:53 am): F: Let's just walk. Don't wan tyou going through a window. laughs and messes his headfur a little We'll pick something up in the cafe that we can eat on the way. Contrast (12:53 am): N: nods and starts walking to the cafe Frosty (12:54 am): F: follows, he looks considerate for a moment before getting coffee and a donut Comanche (12:57 am): Hey there Frosty, Numl... Comanche (12:57 am): Did you find anything yet Frosty on our friend Ryan? shylarah (12:58 am): B: shrug nd shake head Frosty (12:58 am): F: Not really. He's been gone often. Frosty (12:58 am): F: ~I can't stand spying on him.~ shylarah (12:58 am): L: ...Can you show me? Comanche (12:59 am): Hmm... frustrating to track him down isn't it? Frosty (12:59 am): F: Yeah. Frosty (1:00 am): F: I'll set you up so you can access the camera yourself, if you want. Not now, though, I was just about to leave. shylarah (1:00 am): B:shiver at the mention of Ryan Contrast (1:00 am): N: Numl gets... a bagel! Comanche (1:00 am): Oh, where you going? Dio Cheysa (1:00 am): Hello. shylarah (1:00 am): ((toruses...O.O )) Frosty (1:01 am): F: Work. shylarah (1:02 am): ((re, by the by.)) Comanche (1:02 am): Ah, well have fun I guess Smirk Cobalt (1:03 am): Okay...throw something at me. Frosty (1:03 am): F: Smirk See you, officer. Frosty (1:03 am): F: starts to head off shylarah (1:04 am): L: looks at the great big clump of bindweed Alright. ready? throws Cobalt (1:04 am): Ready. Contrast (1:04 am): C: What've you been up to? Dio Cheysa (1:04 am): Why so nosy now and not earlier? shylarah (1:05 am): L: waits to see what happens to the weed Cobalt (1:05 am): (oh whoops XD; thought she was only getting ready to throw it) shylarah (1:05 am): ((...nah, gave warning and threw it.)) Cobalt (1:06 am): she raises her hands and points them, fingers spread out, toward the weed clump - and suddenly there's this wall of energized hexagons flashing into place, which blocks the weeds readily and causes them to drop to the ground shylarah (1:06 am): ((...you watch Code Geass, don't you?)) Cobalt (1:07 am): (I have watched it, past tense :P) shylarah (1:07 am): L: ...shields, or force fields. That is what I would call them. ((....same . The ending? z0mg!! )) Cobalt (1:07 am): (but lots of other shows and things use that kind of energy shielding) Cobalt (1:07 am): (because hexagons are cool) Cobalt (1:07 am): (and yes, that whole series...yikes) shylarah (1:07 am): ((....hasn't seen any others)) Cobalt (1:07 am): (have you seen both seasons then?) shylarah (1:07 am): ((BOTH series, you mean.)) shylarah (1:08 am): ((...or seasons....your post.)) Cobalt (1:08 am): nods I kind of think of them as my personal walls. Cobalt (1:08 am): I just...extend them. Frosty (1:09 am): (SX: throw items) shylarah (1:09 am): ((....watches them get bounced off)) shylarah (1:10 am): L: ...no wonder they can't get you. nods slowly That is a useful gift. Can you use them around others, or just you? shylarah (1:10 am): B: perks up a little Cobalt (1:10 am): I can use them to protect others, but the further I send them, the weaker they get. Comanche (1:11 am): Is he coming? Frosty (1:12 am): (poke Numl) shylarah (1:12 am): B: nod, looking relieved Contrast (1:12 am): (N: o__o) Contrast (1:12 am): N: follows Frosty I ought to learn my way around here better. Frosty (1:12 am): F: Around the city? Contrast (1:13 am): N: Yeah. Contrast (1:13 am): C: I'm not being nosy, am I? Comanche (1:13 am): (Brb, rebooting) shylarah (1:13 am): ((kk)) Contrast (1:13 am): C: I like the word curious better... Contrast (1:14 am): N: I could be four blocks away from here and not know where I am. o__o Dio Cheysa (1:14 am): You did not ask me before "how are you doing." Why now? isn't quite confrontational shylarah (1:14 am): L: So, if you want to protect someone, the closer they are, the better? Hm. Still, that could be very useful. I am glad you came. Cobalt (1:15 am): I'm not so sure...I mean, it sounds useful, but all I've done is push everyone I've ever cared about away from me because of these walls. Frosty (1:15 am): F: Well, we'll walk around this part of the city sometime. Frosty (1:15 am): F: That's way better than looking at maps. Contrast (1:16 am): C: Well, I feel we're all a little closer now that this Faceless thing has become an issue... shylarah (1:17 am): L: ...Then when someone you care about comes alone, put your walls around that person, too. ((do you think Lani can pass through them if she's intangible?)) shylarah (1:17 am): ((I'm thinking maybe no.)) shylarah (1:17 am): along, even. Ari/Arik (1:17 am): (weba) Contrast (1:18 am): N: Y'could show me where the ice cream place from before is. Dio Cheysa (1:19 am): Hmm. Perhaps. It is important to keep track of each other, after all. Frosty** (1:20 am): F: The next street we cross, it's to the left, down another block. point Cobalt (1:21 am): (hmm) Cobalt (1:21 am): (they are a form of energy rather than matter) Cobalt (1:21 am): (so probably not) shylarah (1:21 am): ((alright, then no.)) Contrast (1:22 am): C: Yeah. ... Contrast (1:22 am): C: You aren't human, are you? Frosty (1:22 am): F: On our way back, we'll stop there. shylarah (1:23 am): L: phases out and tries walking through Hm. A wall I cannot pass -- that is a rarity. Dio Cheysa (1:23 am): Hoomahn? Dio Cheysa (1:23 am): snort Contrast (1:25 am): N: Aw, I don't really want any ice cream now, though. Frosty (1:26 am): F: Hence, on our way back. nod Frosty (1:27 am): F: Ah, there's nmy shop, up there. as they turn a cornerpoint shylarah (1:28 am): SK: walks in a while later, and heads for Bits Heya, Bits. Ari/Arik (1:29 am): (weba ) Cobalt (1:30 am): Great, I can even push you away. dryly shylarah (1:30 am): L: ....you can try. But if you do not truly want me to go, it won't work. Contrast (1:30 am): N: earperk (Was there ever a name decided for it though?) shylarah (1:30 am): ((....yeah. Guns and gadgets. right?)) Frosty (1:31 am): (That was the name of the website...) Contrast (1:31 am): C: I'm a really curious person... shylarah (1:31 am): ((...which really ought to be more or less the same as the name, right?)) Contrast (1:31 am): C: I timed it, last time I saw you swimming - you broke the human record for remaining underwater, and the people that set that weren't swimming around. Frosty (1:32 am): (Shrug) Contrast (1:32 am): N: Guns and Gadgets huh? Dio Cheysa (1:32 am): So? What is big deal? Contrast (1:32 am): C: ... how are you disguising yourself? earperk Frosty (1:33 am): F: It's not hte most creative...but I like the logo. nod Frosty (1:33 am): F: approaches the door, unlocking it and heading inside Contrast (1:33 am): N: Sounds like a spy would sh... o__o Contrast (1:33 am): N: heads over to the coolest-looking nearby gun, tails wagging Frosty (1:34 am): F: smirks Dio Cheysa (1:34 am): You make it sound like I am using disguise. smirking though Contrast (1:35 am): C: Are you not? Dio Cheysa (1:36 am): Well, since you are not Faceless...pokes him again, as if to make sure Then I can tell you truth. Frosty (1:39 am): F: That's a rather uncommon shotgun. It doesn't have a large market, but it makes a good display and every now and then a collector will buy one... Dio Cheysa (1:39 am): I am using holocloaking system to appear this way. Dio Cheysa (1:39 am): Was best way to appear...inconspicuous. Contrast (1:46 am): C: Holocloaking... never seen anything like that. Contrast (1:46 am): N: Cool... o__o Contrast (1:46 am): N: ... do you have night vision goggles? Frosty (1:47 am): F: Of course! Dio Cheysa (1:47 am): That is because it is not of this world. Contrast (1:48 am): C: You're from off-planet, huh. Frosty (1:49 am): F: You want to use them? I keep a model open for display. Dio Cheysa (1:49 am): lets the disguise drop away, revealing her sharky tailed and finned self Dio Cheysa (1:49 am): You might say that. Frosty (1:49 am): F: The storeroom is pretty dark without the light on. Contrast (1:52 am): C: looks her up and down, eyes wide ... you're like a shark. Contrast (1:52 am): C: I've seen a lot of different sorts of anthros, but never a shark. looks back up at her eyes shylarah (1:53 am): ((Commie: A /sexy/ shark.... shylarah (1:53 am): giggle)) Dio Cheysa (1:53 am): (heh XD) Dio Cheysa (1:53 am): smirks My people come from a planet where we developed in the sea rather than on land. shylarah (1:54 am): ((...so did we, actually.)) Cobalt (1:54 am): (she means continuing to develop :P) Contrast (1:54 am): (Develop as a civilization, not a species :P) shylarah (1:54 am): ((aaah.)) Contrast (1:54 am): C: So you used to live entirely underwater...? Contrast (1:54 am): N: Yeah, lemme try 'em. Dio Cheysa (1:55 am): Not entirely - my people have long developed the ability to breathe air. Dio Cheysa (1:55 am): But, we prefer the water. Frosty (1:55 am): F: C'mere. walks ot the other end of hte store, taking a headset off of a display stand Contrast (1:56 am): N: follows! Frosty (1:58 am): F: Early ones needed light, like moonlight, in order to function right, but today, they can work in almost complete darkness. holds up a headset. He plays with the adjustments for a second before handing them to him Frosty (1:58 am): F: Take this key and open that door back there. point You can find your way around there easily even though there's almost no light. Contrast (1:59 am): N: slips them over his head, and heads over with the key, unlocking the door and slipping into the storeroom Frosty (2:01 am): The breakroom is semi-organized, but a small cot on the floor in one corner indicates Frosty still hasn't cleaned up from when he used to live here. There are shelves of stock, as well as some filing cabinets and a desk and a few other assorted odds and ends. Contrast (2:02 am): N: holds his gloved hands up in front of his face, grinning Contrast (2:02 am): N: ~Cool~ Contrast (2:02 am): N: explores a little Contrast (2:02 am): C: So, can you breathe underwater? Frosty (2:02 am): The image is only a little grainy, but it's very easy to find his way Comanche (2:03 am): (going to sleep now, night) shylarah (2:03 am): (night...)) shylarah (2:03 am): ((glomp)) Comanche (2:03 am): (glomped @@) Contrast (2:04 am): N: turns them off, to compare Dio Cheysa (2:04 am): nod Yes. Frosty (2:04 am): The storeroom is, absent any light except for an almost-totally-blocked small window, completely black Ari/Arik (2:05 am): (weba) Contrast (2:05 am): N: heads back to the door Now I want some. D= Frosty (2:06 am): F: Heh. shylarah (2:06 am): (...poke cobalt)) Frosty (2:07 am): (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/modern-warfare-night-vision-goggles,8249.html ) Frosty (2:07 am): (man what) Dio Cheysa (2:10 am): (I think I'm going to head out now) shylarah (2:11 am): ((...night. glomp)) Dio Cheysa (2:12 am): (night all) Ari/Arik (2:13 am): (missed@saying 'nite to Terg...though about to head out as well, so...rest well, and 'nite everyone^^ ) shylarah (2:13 am): ((night. glmp)) Ari/Arik (2:14 am): (glomped!^^...and now is off ) Frosty (2:27 am): (we done here?) shylarah (2:28 am): ((looks like...?))

Dio Cheysa (11:56 pm): Cobalt: >>;; quietly leaves the cafe at that Comanche (11:56 pm): I... true, but, uh... blink That's not quite my role here Sandy (11:56 pm): E: follows Cobalt Dio Cheysa (11:58 pm): Cobalt: whispers That lady back there's kinda crazy...whispered to Eve Dio Cheysa (11:58 pm): Are you not a protector of the peace? Sandy (11:58 pm): E: nods Sandy (11:58 pm): E: I was told I should avoid her... Dio Cheysa (11:58 pm): And what use are you if you cannot protect those unable to fight for themselves? Comanche (11:59 pm): I do protect those unable to fight for themselves without hesitation! Dio Cheysa (12:00 am): And then why do you do that? I'll tell you...it is enjoyable, you wish to do so because it gives you the chance to fight. Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): A chance to fight that is allowed by this silly culture. snort Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): Cobalt: Guess we know why now... Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): Cobalt: What's your name? I'm Cobalt. Comanche (12:01 am): ...I do not try to find depper meaning in why I enjoy what I do. Sandy (12:02 am): E: Eve. Bernard (12:04 am): Cafe TV: ...and when it comes to our next story, the SCPD has reported no leads thus far in the case of the fatal stabbing in a diner in downtown Sega City, several weeks ago... Dio Cheysa (12:05 am): Cobalt: Hey, you staying here at the hotel, Eve? Dio Cheysa (12:05 am): Then what does it mean to you? Are you doing it because it's just a job? Sandy (12:05 am): E: nods Sandy (12:05 am): E: They aren't charging me for a room, so I moved here... Dio Cheysa (12:06 am): Cobalt: What? her ears bob back and forth Did I hear that right? Dio Cheysa (12:06 am): Cobalt: You mean you're staying here for free? Bauks (12:06 am): N: Frosty. Sandy (12:06 am): E: Yeah.. Sandy (12:06 am): F: Hm? Bauks (12:07 am): N: ... takes a breath, and takes off his gloves Comanche (12:07 am): Pretty much. Bernard (12:07 am): TV: gives some details of the case again, and shows a photo of the woman in question - the older, gray-haired lady with the coat that was in the diner that one day, who's apparently a member of some kind of cult in a faraway town Sandy (12:07 am): F: smiles Your hands look great. Bauks (12:07 am): N: after a few grafting surgeries, and time allowed for the fur to grow, they look fine Dio Cheysa (12:08 am): Why are you doing something that you do not personally enjoy? Comanche (12:08 am): shrug Pays bills, gives me something to do that is exciting Sandy (12:09 am): F: hugs him Dio Cheysa (12:10 am): Cobalt: How does that work? Sandy (12:10 am): E: I told them I couldn't afford it...quietly I don't have anywhere else to live. Bauks (12:11 am): N: hugs back, with a sniffle Thank you.. Sandy (12:12 am): F: You're welcome, Numl. Bernard (12:13 am): F: is not in the cafe to hear this, and in fact hasn't been anywhere for a while really, staying in his room for the most part Dio Cheysa (12:14 am): Cobalt: Oh...well, I'm kind of in the same boat, myself. Do you think they'd give me that same kind of deal too? Sandy (12:16 am): E: nods Probably... Bauks (12:18 am): N: lets go, wiping his eyes I thought I'd be stuck like that forever... Sandy (12:18 am): F: You don't have to worry about that, Numl. Bauks (12:19 am): R: ... excuse me... Bauks (12:19 am): R: in the arcade Dio Cheysa (12:20 am): Cobalt: perks up and smiles a little That's great...I thought I'd be stuck in that closet. Sandy (12:20 am): F: Huh? looks up Sandy (12:20 am): E: Closet? Dio Cheysa (12:21 am): Cobalt: Oh, uh...nevermind. ^^; Dio Cheysa (12:21 am): Well, now...exciting you say. So you do it for the thrill of the chase. Bauks (12:21 am): R: We haven't met, I don't think, but... I've been watching a little, and you've been helping Numl, right? Sandy (12:22 am): F: ...Yeah. Sandy (12:22 am): F: glance at Numl Bauks (12:25 am): N: blinks Bauks (12:25 am): R: I need to talk to you, then. It's important. Sandy (12:26 am): F: ...regarding what? Bauks (12:26 am): R: His... frowns Safety. Comanche (12:26 am): Eh, I guess Shrug Bauks (12:26 am): R: he's wearing plain clothes - no longer anything with the religious garb Sandy (12:26 am): F: We are alone in here. Speak. steps back, leaning against hte pool table Bauks (12:27 am): R: Can it be just us two? Sandy (12:27 am): F: If there's some threat to Numl's safety, he deserves to hear about it. Bauks (12:28 am): R: looks down at Numl, sadly, at his hands ... Bauks (12:28 am): R: I... okay. uncomfortable Bauks (12:29 am): R: ... Numl, your... mother, she was named Duvesa, wasn't she? Bauks (12:29 am): N: instant discomfort Dio Cheysa (12:30 am): Cobalt: Thanks again, Eve...I'll see you later! heads off to get herself a room Sandy (12:30 am): F: looks at Numl Sandy (12:30 am): E: Bye... Dio Cheysa (12:30 am): Well, if you will go looking for him anyway, then I will come with you. Comanche (12:31 am): I don't even know where to look for him though... no common threads as to where he goes. Bauks (12:33 am): R: kneels down I... used to be part of this... remorsefully in saying so, like it hurts to admit Cult, that she was in, until I figured out the wrong things they were doing... Bauks (12:34 am): N: backs up, a little Dio Cheysa (12:34 am): The Faceless gather in groups at times...they prefer the dark. Sandy (12:34 am): F: ...Explain. Callisto (12:34 am): Com: Think we have a good chance to catch them at night then? Sandy (12:34 am): F: puts an arm around Numl's shoulders Bauks (12:35 am): R: ... they, they called it Solarology, some archaic sun-worship... I can't even remember why I got started in it. stands up, looking at Frosty I... Duvesa went missing a little over a month ago. Dio Cheysa (12:36 am): It is dangerous, but yes, they gather at that time - I am not sure why, but perhaps it is a way for them to share information. Bauks (12:36 am): R: I was sent to check out the house... the, the one you escaped from. to Numl On the edge of the property, I found some kind of torture... chamber. Callisto (12:37 am): Maybe then tonight we can try to capture them? Sandy (12:37 am): F: takes a breath I see. Bauks (12:38 am): R: ... I wanted to just get as far away from there as possible, but, I... one thing led to another. I started investigating a little, and I found out... I found out everything about what she did to Numl. Callisto (12:38 am): (Commie that) Bauks (12:40 am): R: ... I don't know how you escaped or how that place burned down, but... the reason I'm here is, I... Bauks (12:41 am): R: frowns She came back. Bauks (12:41 am): N: ... w-what... Sandy (12:42 am): F: She's alive? Bauks (12:43 am): R: I guess she wasn't caught in the fire that burned that place down... Bauks (12:43 am): N: That wasn't what would've killed her! Bauks (12:43 am): N: grits his teeth I beat her head in with a brick, she, she can't be back! She's dead! Sandy (12:44 am): F: Easy, Numl... Bauks (12:45 am): R: looks down I... she wanted me to find you. She doesn't know I know what I do. Bauks (12:45 am): R: Instead I'm just... telling you. I'm not going to let her know anything about me seeing you, I swear. Sandy (12:47 am): E: sits, in the lobby, reading a magazine on the table Bauks (12:47 am): N: doesn't look that reassured Sandy (12:47 am): F: ...Where is she? Dio Cheysa (12:48 am): Capture them? snorts Callisto (12:50 am): Well, "Caputre" smirk Callisto (12:50 am): (Commie that again xx) Callisto (12:50 am): (And capture) Bauks (12:51 am): R: sounds confident in telling about the location of the cult's center It's... Bauks (12:51 am): R: ... Dio Cheysa (12:51 am): Ah - "capture," the way you say it that time is much better. Callisto (12:52 am): Do you wish to set off to find a stake out spot then for later? Bauks (12:52 am): R: ... I... I don't know. Sandy (12:52 am): F: ...tilt head Bauks (12:52 am): R: frowns I... I could go there, right now, but, it's like... I don't know the way. Sandy (12:53 am): F: WHat do you mean? Callisto (12:54 am): (If I dont tag it, I think you know it's Commie talking uu) Bauks (12:54 am): R: ... I just, when I'm supposed to be there, I just go and walk there. But it's a blur. Bauks (12:54 am): R: I think that's part of what they do, they don't want more people being told about it... they, they manipulate people somehow. Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): (yeah, sure do) Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): (BTW, Shy wants me to keep track of the logs so I'll grab it in the morning) Bauks (12:56 am): R: That's, that's why I don't... want to help anymore than telling you this. I know I can get away with this, but... I don't trust myself. Sandy (12:56 am): F: You don't trust yourself? Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): But we do not know exactly where they go yet. Bauks (12:58 am): R: I don't want to remain close to Numl for long. I don't want me to somehow lead her to him. Callisto (12:58 am): Com: I know. Gonna be a long first night or two you know, trying to find them Bauks (12:58 am): R: It's probably best we don't see eachother again after this... Sandy (12:59 am): F: ...where will you go? Bauks (1:00 am): R: I don't know, I... sigh Bauks (1:00 am): R: I need to find out where this place is. And tell the police. Bauks (1:00 am): R: ... somehow. Sandy (1:00 am): F: ...Maybe I can help. Bauks (1:00 am): R: How so? Sandy (1:01 am): F: I have...trackers, things that can be hidden on or in innocuous objects. they work on multiple frequencies, so they're hard to jam without being obvious about it. Bauks (1:02 am): N: standing mostly behind Frosty Bauks (1:02 am): R: Then, I could just carry one, and you see where it goes....? Dio Cheysa (1:02 am): So might as well get started, then? Sandy (1:03 am): F: Yes. Callisto (1:03 am): Com: Yeah Stand, stretch Wanna head to my car then? Bauks (1:03 am): R: Alright, I'll do that, but... frowns If I'm caught... Sandy (1:04 am): F: If it's found, it would only be because of a careful search. Bauks (1:04 am): R: They have no reason to suspect me, either... Bauks (1:05 am): R: As far as they - as she - knows, I've been loyal and I don't know anything. Sandy (1:06 am): F: Then you have nothing to fear. ... Dio Cheysa (1:06 am): Let us begin the hunt. Bauks (1:06 am): R: Let's get this on me now then. Dio Cheysa (1:06 am): goes with Commie to his car to hunt Faceless Bauks (1:06 am): R: And then I had better go... Dio Cheysa (1:07 am): and probably has to be told at least one to stop holding her beam halberd out of the car like a lance Sandy (1:07 am): F: I...needed to pick something up at my shop anyway. looks at Numl Callisto (1:07 am): Com: walks out to his car and gets in, allowing Dio to sit in the front (XD) Alright... so then. We just drive around I guess. I know every backstreet and alley around Bauks (1:09 am): R: Okay. ... Numl, I... I'm sorry. But don't worry, we're not going to let anything happen. Bauks (1:09 am): N: just looking at Roy, quietly Sandy (1:10 am): F: ...Can you give us a moment? Bauks (1:10 am): R: I... sigh ~He trusts you, Frosty, not me.~ Yes. I'll be out front... Bauks (1:10 am): R: leaves Bauks (1:10 am): N: grabs Frosty's hand and squeezes it Sandy (1:11 am): F: hugs Numl Bauks (1:12 am): N: hugs back, tight, shaking a little Don't let her find me, I... please... sounds terrified Sandy (1:13 am): F: I'm not gonna that happen, Numl. Bauks (1:14 am): N: How can she be, I... her head was... aah! Sandy (1:16 am): (Test) Sandy (1:16 am): (ffs) Sandy (1:18 am): F: I don't know, Numl, but we're gonna fix this. Everything's gonna be alright. Bauks (1:20 am): N: I... I... cries Sandy (1:21 am): F: hugs him We're not gonna let anything happen to you, You don't need to go back to her, ever again. Dio Cheysa (1:23 am): Cobalt: is on her way to her new room after making those arrangements Bauks (1:24 am): N: just cries, though he seems at least a little soothed' Sandy (1:25 am): F: just hugs him, for the moment Bauks (1:27 am): N: Y-you're going with that guy now right...? Bauks (1:27 am): N: after a bit, and he's calmed down some Sandy (1:31 am): (this is starting to %@+$ me off c_c) Sandy (1:31 am): (Sorry.) Sandy (1:32 am): F: You don't need to do anything about this. I'll help him, and then, we'll leave it for the police, alright? Sandy (1:32 am): F: Once what happens is legally accounted for...you won't have to see her, ever. Sandy (1:32 am): happened Bauks* (1:34 am): N: Y... yeah... Bauks (1:35 am): N: I-I'm going to my room. Bauks (1:35 am): N: ~Why do you have to leave now, I want you here...~ Sandy (1:36 am): F: I'll be back soon, okay? Bauks (1:36 am): N: nods ~I wanna find somebody else...~ Callisto (1:37 am): (Getting tired... night) Bauks (1:37 am): N: ~I... can I tell Dio about this?~ Sandy (1:37 am): F: Is there anything you need? Bauks (1:37 am): N: ~If she knew she'd protect me until this is over with, wouldn't she? Bauks (1:38 am): ~ Bauks (1:38 am): N: Just... just hurry back. Sandy (1:39 am): F: I will. Bauks (1:40 am): N: wipes his eyes I... Bauks (1:40 am): N: I'm gonna see if someone'll stay with me until you get back. Sandy (1:40 am): F: Alright. Sandy (1:41 am): F: If you want...I'll leave you some money. Ask someone here to play a game with you. glances around the arcade Get your mind off things. Alright? Bauks (1:41 am): N: shakes his head I don't want to play any games right now. Bauks (1:41 am): C: knocks on Faust's door Sandy (1:41 am): -F: If you insist. Bernard (1:42 am): F: opens it...he's looking pretty unkempt, like he hasn't changed his clothes or showered or anything in days Bernard (1:42 am): F: and really pale. Hi, Contrast... Bauks (1:42 am): C: Can I come in? Bernard (1:43 am): F: nods faintly, stepping aside Bauks (1:43 am): C: Shut the door? as he comes in, and sits on the bed Bauks (1:44 am): N: Alright. Bauks (1:44 am): N: hugs Frosty, again, and hurries off Bernard (1:44 am): F: shuts it, walking over by him Sandy (1:44 am): F: (hugs him again, and heads off Bauks (1:44 am): N: he tries to find Dio, wherever she is Dio Cheysa (1:45 am): but, well, she was off driving around with Comanche Dio Cheysa (1:45 am): so Numl might find Cobalt instead Dio Cheysa (1:45 am): who is still trying to find her new room Sandy (1:45 am): F: heads outside ... Bauks (1:45 am): (Awww, MFW time Dio having free time =() Bauks (1:46 am): R: there Sandy (1:46 am): F: ...you ready? Bauks (1:47 am): R: Let's get this over with. Sandy (1:47 am): F: nods, quietly We'll head to my shop. Do oyu have a car? Bauks (1:48 am): R: No. shakes his head Bauks (1:48 am): (Alright...) Bauks (1:49 am): N: Numl's a shy guy, and he's a little too nervous to be stopping by strangers in the hallway and helping them Sandy (1:49 am): (?) Dio Cheysa (1:49 am): (MFW time being a new euphemism for fastforwarding? :P) Sandy (1:49 am): F: We'll walk, then. Sandy (1:49 am): (Yeah :P) Dio Cheysa (1:49 am): okay, Dio is at the pool Sandy (1:49 am): (Well, selective fastforwarding) Dio Cheysa (1:50 am): naked Bauks (1:50 am): (Not just that, but any time you want to have characters in a place in time without them reasonably being there ) Bauks (1:50 am): (For the sake of being convenient to RP) Bauks (1:50 am): N: in that case, he heads to the pool, quietly waiting for the shark to surface Bauks (1:51 am): R: Lead the way... Bauks (1:51 am): C: Faust? Sandy (1:51 am): F: It's not very far. Six blocks or so. starts walking .... Sandy (1:51 am): F: What's your name? Bauks (1:51 am): C: The girl that followed you into the bathroom the night you got sick never came back out. Bernard (1:52 am): F: shifts It's bothered me. Bauks (1:54 am): C: Police are investigating her murder. Bernard (1:55 am): F: I saw it on the news. Dio Cheysa (1:56 am): and she surfaces - she isn't actually naked, but rather, she's in her shark form Bauks (1:56 am): (Terg, are you leaving in like four minutes?) Bauks (1:57 am): R: Roy. Sandy (1:57 am): F: Frosty. Dio Cheysa (1:57 am): (heh ^^; yeah I am...) Sandy (1:57 am): F: How do you know...his mother? Bauks (1:57 am): R: She was... she's a big figure there. At that cult. Sandy (1:57 am): F: I see. And she's...alive? Dio Cheysa (1:58 am): (guess I'd better table that until next week - see you guys later, logging out here) Sandy (1:58 am): (Goodnight) Bauks (1:58 am): (seeya) Bauks (1:58 am): R: Yes. What did Numl do to her? Sandy (2:00 am): F: He...she imprisoned him. He told me he killed her, hit her with a brick, in the head. Sandy (2:00 am): E: in the lobby, reading Sandy (2:00 am): (BRB, ice cream) Bernard (2:02 am): F: ...It's very troubling, being so close to death like that. looks away Sandy (2:02 am): (Back) Bauks (2:02 am): C: ... Faust... did you do it? Bernard (2:04 am): F: ...don't...I didn't do that, I'm not like that. Bauks (2:04 am): C: You weren't strangers, were you...? Bauks (2:05 am): C: I didn't really think anything about it, but I noticed you both having the same type of dress. Bauks (2:05 am): R: ... she... and others, think he's some kind of demon. Bernard (2:05 am): F: I don't have anything to do with that woman. clenches his fists Sandy (2:06 am): F: ...how could a mother think that about her own son? Bauks (2:07 am): R: Something about his tails. It's some kind of sign. Sandy (2:07 am): F: ... Bauks (2:08 am): R: Neither she or her father had more than one... Bauks (2:09 am): R: Some mythological beast they think exists supposedly has three enourmous tails. Sandy (2:09 am): F: Multiple tails is a rare trait. It's recessive. It can be passed down many generations before it shows up again. ...That's just senseless. Sandy (2:09 am): F: Numl's such a good kid. Bauks (2:10 am): R: I can't imagine that kind of $%%%. Eleven months... Sandy (2:10 am): F: I don't understand how someone can be driven to do that kind of thing. Bauks (2:12 am): C: ... look. I've gotten to know you, and I know you're a good person. Bauks (2:13 am): C: ... if you did do... something, you... had your reasons. Bernard (2:15 am): F: ...Contrast... looks down, shivering, and steps a bit closer Bauks (2:15 am): R: ... he must have had the chance to try and escape sooner and was too scared to try. Sandy (2:16 am): F: ...maybe. Sandy (2:16 am): F: Why do that, though? Sandy (2:16 am): F: Why torture him? Bernard (2:17 am): F: No one can know. Bernard (2:17 am): F: quietly( Bauks* (2:18 am): C: ... you have to tell me what happened, if you want me to keep this a secret. Bauks (2:19 am): R: ... to... her, Numl was the embodiment of evil. She was, well... supposedly purifying him. Sandy (2:21 am): F: Do you think...are there other members, or children, or... Bauks (2:21 am): R: I doubt there are other kids like Numl. Sandy (2:22 am): F: ... Bauks (2:23 am): R: ... or maybe I just hope there aren't. Bernard (2:23 am): F: Contrast, please, I... bites his lip Sandy (2:23 am): F: Why did you join them? Bauks (2:24 am): R: I don't even remember clearly... I think they did something to manipulate me into it, something to my head. Sandy (2:25 am): F: ...~Perhaps I should avoid them.~ Sandy (2:25 am): F: They manipulate people, huh? Bauks (2:26 am): R: I think so. I'm not sure. Sandy (2:26 am): F: If they do something like that...is it possible, in theory, to know if someone has become disloyal? Sandy (2:26 am): F: ...There, that shop there. points, heading that way Bauks (2:27 am): R: I... possibly. frown Bernard (2:27 am): F: Will you promise me, i-if i do? Bauks (2:28 am): C: I... Bauks (2:28 am): C: ... I promise. Sandy (2:29 am): F: ...it could be dangerous for you to go alone. Sandy (2:32 am): (test) Bernard (2:32 am): F: ... sits down on the bed, by him Bernard (2:33 am): F: I don't know how I ended up crossing paths with her again. Bauks (2:34 am): C: Who is she? Bauks (2:35 am): R: ... I can't let you go with me. Sandy (2:36 am): F: ...I don't want to, honestly. unlocks the shop door, heading in Bernard (2:36 am): F: A woman from my hometown. Bernard (2:37 am): F: ...she's a member of a twisted society of people. Bauks (2:40 am): R: Just leave that to me. Bauks (2:40 am): R: I owe it to Numl. Sandy (2:41 am): F: But I don't want you alone, either. A tracking device would work...do you have a cell phone? Bauks (2:41 am): R: Yes. nods Bauks (2:41 am): C: Twisted society? Sandy (2:42 am): F: Good. That makes it easy. Bernard (2:42 am): C: Yes. When I had left, it had swallowed the entire town. Sandy (2:42 am): F: With a little tweaking, any cell phone can become a listening device. And electronic emissions aren't unusual from a cell phone, unlike say, clothing, or a piece of jewelry. Bauks (2:44 am): R: Good... you can listen in. Bernard (2:45 am): C: They...have a set of beliefs that they preach. Sandy (2:45 am): F: If anything goes amiss...I'll know. They can't do too much to you without making any noise whatsoever, and it can't be turned off without arousing suspicion. Do you want anything to drink? Bernard (2:45 am): C: Some truly believe. Others pretended to believe so they would not be harassed. Bauks (2:46 am): R: What kind of beliefs? Bauks (2:46 am): R: ... please. Bauks (2:46 am): (er) Bauks (2:46 am): (C* the first) Sandy (2:48 am): F: Soda okay? raches behind the counter, producing two sodas. He just holds them both. Bernard (2:48 am): C: They're very isolationist. The outside world is evil to them. Bauks (2:48 am): R: takes one, drinking deep Bernard (2:49 am): C: Cities are full of sin to them. They believe that anything that doesn't fit in with their crafted society is wrong. Sandy (2:50 am): Despite the fact that they were sitting in a counter, they're cold - Frosty chilled them quickly. He drinks out of his Follow me, I have some tools in the back room. I'll modify your cell phone to send everything it hears. Bernard (2:50 am): C: They rely on old technology, old social values. They remain static. Bauks (2:51 am): C: ... you were once with them, then...? Bauks (2:51 am): C: Rather, you lived around that stuff. Sandy (2:53 am): F: unlocks the door to the back room, heading in Bernard (2:54 am): C: Yes. We...were one of the families that believed out of fear of persecution. Bauks (2:55 am): C: What happened? Bernard (2:56 am): (WTF) Sandy (2:56 am): (FTW) Bernard (2:56 am): (All of the above is supposed to be F @@) Sandy (2:56 am): (was wondering when you two would notice that >_> ) Bernard (3:01 am): C: Nothing happened to us, for the most part. Since we followed their preferred lifestyle. Sandy (3:01 am): F: and, after a few minutes, Roy's cell phone is now a listening device, and a tracking device. When you're there, Roy...don't turn this off for any reason. If it's turned off, I'll assume you're in trouble and...I don't know, send the police or something. Sandy (3:01 am): (C) Bernard (3:01 am): (. . .) Bernard (3:01 am): (F) Bauks* (3:02 am): F: ... what did they do to people that resisted? Sandy (3:02 am): (...XD) Bauks (3:02 am): (...) Bauks (3:02 am): (wtf @ tonight) Bauks (3:02 am): (R) Bernard* (3:02 am): (lmao) Sandy (3:02 am): (...um, wasn't that Contrast) Bauks (3:02 am): (... I MEAN C) Bernard (3:03 am): (lulzing) Bernard (3:03 am): F: Harassed them in general. Some did little more than spread bad words. Bernard (3:04 am): F: Others committed hateful crimes. Others...even worse, at times. Bauks (3:04 am): C: So... what does this have to do with that woman? Bernard (3:06 am): F: She was trying to find me... Bauks (3:07 am): C: ... to do what? Bernard (3:08 am): F: looks away ...whatever it was, nothing good. quietly Bauks (3:09 am): C: ~You mean you didn't know what she was up to before you stabbed her?~ Bauks (3:09 am): C: sigh Bernard (3:10 am): F: almost has a guilty look ... Bauks (3:10 am): R: I feel horrible about this. Bauks (3:11 am): R: I can't believe I followed these people. Sandy (3:11 am): F: nods ...I'm sorry. Sandy (3:15 am): F: When can you go back there, Roy? Sandy (3:15 am): F: digging in a box Bauks (3:16 am): R: Whenever I have a compulsion to go there. Sandy (3:16 am): F: Alright. Bernard (3:16 am): F: ...I left them because I found Bubastis. Sandy (3:17 am): F: If all goes well...you just have to go in and leave as inconspicuously as possible. Wherever you go, I'll see where it was. Bauks (3:23 am): R: Alright. We can do this... Bauks (3:23 am): C: What does this have to do with Bubastis? Sandy (3:24 am): F: ...This'll mean a lot to Numl. His birthday is tomorrow, you know. Bauks (3:24 am): R: frowns I had to bring this crashing down on him the day before his birthday... Sandy (3:25 am): F: You're helping take down the cult that did so much to him. He...deserves closure. When he told me what happened...the hardest part for us both was not knowing. He had no idea why she did that to him. Bernard (3:26 am): F: One day he wandered into the town. And I was the one who found him. Bernard (3:28 am): F: He...wasn't something that fit in. quieter He would have been killed. Bauks (3:30 am): C: ... so you took him and left, huh? Sandy (3:30 am): F: picks up a box within the box he was digging in, before...unholstering his pistol Bernard (3:30 am): F: nods ... Bauks (3:32 am): R: glances at it Sandy (3:33 am): F: unloads it, quickly unloading every round from the magazine and the chamber, before doing the same with his other magazines. He starts replacing the ammunition with blue-tipped CAP rounds. Bernard (3:33 am): F: ...when I saw him, I knew it was all wrong. shivers Bernard (3:33 am): F: H-he was innocent. Bauks (3:33 am): C: Couldn't stand the thought of something happening to him. Bauks (3:34 am): R: watches Bernard (3:34 am): F: They would have destroyed something so beautiful. Bauks (3:35 am): C: He really is quite the find, isn't he... Sandy (3:35 am): F: You were there that day, when that maniac attacked us in the lobby. I remember seeing you. Bauks (3:36 am): R: ... I was. sigh He was one of us. He went missing months prior to the string of arsons. Bernard (3:36 am): F: Yes...he's my best friend. Sandy (3:37 am): F: ...yeah...I killed him. We all attacked him, but...I can't get the image of his body, riddled with bullet wounds...out of my head. Bernard (3:39 am): F: You have to understand. quieter Bauks (3:40 am): R: frowns I... wish I knew what drove him to that level of madness. Sandy (3:41 am): F: Did the cult do anything about that? Bauks (3:41 am): R: We tried to find him and stop him, but... Bauks (3:41 am): R: ... well, that's just what I thought we did at the time. Sandy (3:42 am): F: Hm? Bernard (3:43 am): F: It...was for the best. Bauks (3:43 am): R: For all I know, he was a perfectly fine person and they drove him mad on purpose. Sandy (3:43 am): F: ... Sandy (3:43 am): F: I don't understand. Sandy (3:47 am): F: sigh Bauks (3:48 am): R: I... I'm glad you've done what you have for Numl. Sandy (3:49 am): F: nods I coulldn't/...couldn't not do that. Sandy (3:56 am): (test) Bauks (3:57 am): (test indeed) Bauks (3:57 am): R: The boy deserves it... Sandy (3:57 am): F: He does. He's such a good kid. sighs, reloading his pistol Sandy (3:58 am): F: ...I'm not sure if I can kill like that again. Bauks (4:01 am): R: If I had known the kind of misery this cult was causing... Sandy (4:02 am): F: nods ... Sandy (4:02 am): F: That's all we need from here. Sandy (4:04 am): F: Will you go there today, or...? Bauks (4:05 am): R: Probably. It's Saturday... usually, later on on Saturdays, I go. Sandy (4:05 am): F: Tomorrow, then. Sandy (4:16 am): F: Let's head back. playing with his cell phone, having holstered his gun Bauks (4:18 am): R: Back to the hotel? Sandy (4:19 am): F: nod Sandy (4:20 am): F: I need to go shopping...I'll ask Connie if I can borrow his car. Sandy (4:20 am): F: I don't know what to buy for Numl. Bauks (4:21 am): B: I'd rather not go back there if I can help it. Bauks (4:21 am): (R) Sandy (4:21 am): F: ...nods Bernard (4:22 am): (Gonna log outta here, don't feel well) Bernard (4:22 am): (IM too) Bernard (4:22 am): (Goodnight go) Sandy (4:23 am): (bye o.o) ~Hope, like Love, never dies. It may seem to disappear at times, but it’s always there, ready to be found again.~

Comanche (9:36 pm): Of course step aside, allowing him in Sandy (9:36 pm): F: Remember I told you what happened to Numl...so the hospital could operate on him? Comanche (9:37 pm): Yeah, I think so, is there something else wrong? Sandy (9:37 pm): F: ...She's...she was part of a cult. Thge same cult that was behind that maniac that attacked us in the lobby.

I wanted to see and experience everything I could... Bauks (10:04 pm): N: ends up getting something to stand on so he can see through the door's peephole first to make sure it really is, before opening it Sandy (10:05 pm): F: Good morning. Bauks (10:06 pm): N: steps aside to let Frosty in Bauks (10:06 pm): N: his eyes are a little red from a mixture of tears and not sleeping Sandy (10:07 pm): F: ...Are you alright?

Bauks (10:26 pm): C: Well, just... sigh You might not even go if you're caught, it could be self-defense... Bauks (10:26 pm): N: nods Sandy (10:26 pm): F: answers, stepping out of hte room Hey. Bauks (10:26 pm): R: I'm leaving now. Sandy (10:27 pm): F: Alright. ...Leave your phone on. Sandy (10:27 pm): F: reaches in his pocket, producing an earpiece, which he sticks in his ear Bauks (10:27 pm): R: Thanks for this. Bauks (10:28 pm): R: I'll expose this place for what it is... long sigh Sandy (10:28 pm): F: ..you too, Roy. Bernard (10:28 pm): F: I mustn't be found out... Sandy (10:28 pm): F: Good luck. Bernard (10:29 pm): F: ...it's a large city, and I've no actual home, not many know me...they wouldn't find me, would they? Comanche (10:29 pm): What, Roy leave? Bauks (10:30 pm): C: I don't think so. shakes his head Sandy (10:30 pm): F: looks down the hallway, nodding at Comanche Bernard (10:30 pm): F: Then all we must do is remain silent. Bernard (10:30 pm): F: sighs, shivering ... Comanche (10:32 pm): Should I follow him then? Sandy (10:32 pm): F: No. Comanche (10:34 pm): Very well then.... Sandy (10:35 pm): (FFS) Sandy (10:35 pm): (Test!) Sandy (10:36 pm): (c_c) Bauks (10:36 pm): C: puts an arm over Faust's shoulders ~I doubt he'll let this go if he lives the rest of his life worried about being discovered.* Sandy (10:36 pm): (If I vanish, my %+#$ connection is messed up. Again.) Bauks (10:36 pm): ~* Bernard (10:36 pm): F: leans into her slightly Bauks (10:41 pm): R: and so, he heads out Bauks (10:41 pm): R: How his he tracked, from Frosty's POV, now that he is? Bernard (10:42 pm): F: ...I'm so afraid. Sandy (10:42 pm): F: By his laptop, that he's now retrieved from his room. Bauks (10:43 pm): C: pats his shoulder I know... Bauks (10:45 pm): R: And so, he's walking down a street on the edge of the city... Bauks (10:45 pm): R: he takes a turn, at some point, stepping into an alley Sandy (10:45 pm): F: in the cafe Bernard (10:46 pm): F: ...Contrast, will you do something for me? Bauks (10:48 pm): C: What is it? Comanche (10:49 pm): also in the cafe Bauks (10:49 pm): R: and then... whatever blip he is on whatever map Frosty is using jumps, to somewhere else entirely on the planet Bernard (10:49 pm): F: reaches into his pocket, taking out something wrapped in some white cloth Sandy (10:49 pm): F: ...blink Sandy (10:49 pm): F: That migh tbe a little distant for the Sega City police... Bernard (10:49 pm): F: This is...what I used. Bernard (10:50 pm): F: It's cleaned...I don't want it around me, but i don't want to throw it away. Comanche (10:50 pm): ...yeah, possibly nod Bernard (10:50 pm): F: Will you keep it somewhere? Bauks (10:51 pm): C: ... I can throw it away for you. Bauks (10:52 pm): R: It's somewhere in part of no particular country at all, wherever he is Bernard (10:53 pm): F: ...If you do, it must be discarded where it is impossible to find. Bauks (10:57 pm): C: Yeah. That's easy. Sandy (10:57 pm): F: Um. You guy sdon't have some kind of hypersonic transport available. Do you? Bauks (10:58 pm): R: does he hear this? Comanche (10:58 pm): blink Well no. We're not a military group with limitless resources Sandy (10:58 pm): F: that was to Commie, no - Roy's phone is currently going only one way. They hear from his end, but not the other way around. Bernard (10:59 pm): F: Thank you... closes his eyes, sighing ... Bauks (10:59 pm): R: It sounds like he's indoors - there's a fan or air conditioner Bauks (10:59 pm): R: and, well, his footsteps Sandy (11:03 pm): F: Hm... Sandy (11:03 pm): F: Think I should call him and tell him? I assumed it was here in Sega City... Bauks (11:05 pm): R: eventually! Bauks (11:05 pm): R: some dialogue is heard! Bauks (11:05 pm): R: Vera... what are you doing here? Bauks (11:08 pm): V: Duvesa wants to see you. Sandy (11:09 pm): F: That's his mom - Duvesa. Sandy (11:09 pm): F: SHe's apparently a cult bigshot. Bauks (11:09 pm): R: Oh... where is she, then? Bauks (11:09 pm): R: more footsteps Comanche (11:09 pm): Uh-huh... Nod Bauks (11:10 pm): R: Duvesa, what is this? Bauks (11:10 pm): D: Roy. Bauks (11:11 pm): D: What aaare you doing, hanging around that hotel so much? Sandy (11:11 pm): F: ... Comanche (11:11 pm): (Describe Duvesa? oo) Bauks (11:11 pm): (You can't see her. ) Bauks (11:11 pm): R: The... Heights Hotel? Bauks (11:12 pm): D: Mhm... Bauks (11:12 pm): R: ... I... Bauks (11:12 pm): R: I feel responsible for a few of the people there. Bauks (11:13 pm): D: Why? Bauks (11:14 pm): R: That's where Sylus attacked. He was one of our own. Bauks (11:15 pm): D: Oh. dismissively Sandy (11:15 pm): F: She's trouble. Sandy (11:15 pm): F: You feel it, Commie? Comanche (11:16 pm): Yeah, typical. Bauks (11:16 pm): D: Your robes aren't on quite properly. Bauks (11:17 pm): R: I'm sorry. russling Bauks (11:17 pm): D: That's sort of the punctuation mark on you failing my test, isn't it? Bauks (11:17 pm): R: What? Sandy (11:19 pm): F: we'll say the audio is coming through his laptop instead of the earpiece, now, so Commie hears it Comanche (11:20 pm): blink That doesn't sound good... Bauks (11:20 pm): D: I know someone searched my room. Bauks (11:22 pm): D: Did a lot of reading on Trifecta, while you were there. Bauks (11:22 pm): R: Y- Bauks (11:23 pm): D: You left some furs behind. Bauks (11:24 pm): D: I already knew you knew where Numl was when I asked you to find him - well, not knew, but suspected. I decided I should figure out who the rat in my midst was first. Sandy (11:24 pm): F: ... Sandy (11:25 pm): F: ~I'll never let her near him.~ Bauks (11:25 pm): R: I don't know where he is. Just because I looked around your chamber doesn't mean I've been doing something against you... Comanche (11:26 pm): And we have no idea where he is then? Sandy (11:26 pm): F: He's here. point Bauks (11:26 pm): D: No, but you do know a little too much. The uninitiated aren't equipped to handle some things, emotionally. Sandy (11:27 pm): F: He must've went through some kind of portal... Comanche (11:27 pm): What part of the world then? Bauks (11:27 pm): (We'll say unclaimed territory between Sega City and another country) Bauks (11:28 pm): D: I know that boy takes the guise of an innocent, but the unwise are easily fooled. That's why only members like myself and those equally prestiged meet it in battle. Bauks (11:28 pm): R: Battle? You- Sandy (11:28 pm): F: The desert between Sega City and Sony City. Sandy (11:28 pm): F: Way out in the middle of nowhere. Comanche (11:29 pm): %+#$. We can't legally do anything. Bauks (11:29 pm): D: That thing doesn't know physical pain - it lashes out at one's conscience. Bauks (11:30 pm): D: It's a test of will. It takes immense power to see to it that it is truly banished. Bauks (11:30 pm): D: People like you, however, don't even have the will to hear about it and stand firm. Bauks (11:32 pm): D: I have one of my better men that knows how many lives are on the line handling this now. Bauks (11:32 pm): D: You, you've learned too much too soon. Sandy (11:32 pm): F: ... Sandy (11:33 pm): F: ~How does she know Numl's here?~ Sandy (11:33 pm): F: ~Can we hide him?~ Bauks (11:33 pm): D: It saddens me that I have to do this, you showed such promise... such talent with the flames. Bauks (11:34 pm): R: Duvesa, stop thi- Bauks (11:34 pm): R: There's the sound of intense frames, like a blast furnace Bauks (11:35 pm): R: It's silent immediately after, and the blip disappears too Sandy (11:35 pm): F: ... Sandy (11:36 pm): F: I don't care how much resources the SCPD has or doesn't have, Commie. That's evidence. Sandy (11:36 pm): F: I'm..I'll be with Numl. Copy that recording. Sandy (11:37 pm): F: Just...don't lose my laptop. stands ... Comanche (11:38 pm): Sure goes about preparing to record stuff Sandy (11:38 pm): F: heads off, towards the stairs Bauks (11:39 pm): As Frosty nears the corner that'll put him in view of Numl's room, he can smell and hear something burning Sandy (11:39 pm): F: ...! Sandy (11:39 pm): F: draws his gun, approaching Numl's room. He perks his ears. Bauks (11:40 pm): Has he rounds the corner, he just barely catches a glimpse of someone stepping through Numl's doorway - Numl shouts Sandy (11:40 pm): F: runs toward the room Hey! Bauks (11:42 pm): The door itself has had its hinges melted off and cast aside - by the time Frosty reaches the door, the person's apparently heard the shouting and ignited the floor all around and in the doorway with intense flames, too hot and high to see through Bauks (11:42 pm): And not affected by the sprinklers that turn on, then Sandy (11:43 pm): F: ~Need someone...~ just turns and fires his gun toward a window down the hall, twice, hoping the gunshots will attract others Bauks (11:43 pm): N: Get away from me!! only barely heard over the alarm, fire, and sprinklers Bernard (11:44 pm): F: still in Contrast's room, he jumps, hearing the gunshots Sandy (11:44 pm): F: then stops, focusing ... Bauks (11:44 pm): C: stand up, suddenly Sandy (11:44 pm): F: he tries to force as much of his energy through his fur as possible, looking at the flames ... Bauks (11:44 pm): N: N- cut short, as his mouth is covered Bauks (11:45 pm): C: ... runs! C'mon! Sandy (11:45 pm): F: ~It'll only take a second...if I can protect myself just long enough...~ closes his eyes and runs, leaping right through the doorway Bernard (11:45 pm): F: hops to his feet, running with Contrast Bauks (11:45 pm): Frosty manages to get through! Sandy (11:45 pm): F: Stumbles back to his feet, firing at the first !Numl object he sees Sandy (11:46 pm): F: CAP rounds Comanche (11:46 pm): hears the gunshots, and goes to run upstairs Bauks (11:46 pm): Frosty shocks a perfectly good !Numl object Bauks (11:47 pm): The smoke in the room makes it hard to distinguish anything more complex than that Sandy (11:47 pm): F: Tries to dive toward Numl Bauks (11:49 pm): Frosty falls short as Numl's yanked away from him, but this free's Numl's mouth enough to shout again Sandy (11:49 pm): (test) Sandy (11:49 pm): (x_x) Sandy (11:49 pm): F: takes a second to recover, aiming his pistol again Bauks (11:50 pm): N: -Frosty!! the last thing he hears before Numl, tucked under the arm of someone too hard to make out well in the smoke, makes a running dive directly into and through the window Comanche (11:50 pm): has run up to Numl's room where the comotion is, pistol drawn What the %%+%! Sandy (11:50 pm): (Numl's on the second floor, right?) Bernard (11:50 pm): F: reaches the door, charging through unless the flames are still there Sandy (11:51 pm): F: shouts Go downstairs - go outside!! Sandy (11:51 pm): F: rushes to the window, aiming his pistol down Bernard (11:51 pm): F: turns and does just that, quickly Sandy (11:52 pm): F: if he can see the assailant, he opens fire Bauks (11:53 pm): C: turns around, with Faust, running as fast as he can Bauks (11:54 pm): He can - it looks like he made it to ground level through there being some kind of pillar of solidified molten rock to land on, and then turning it into lava to make it sink back down; this is the same power displayed by the lizard that attacked before Comanche (11:56 pm): also runs downstairs, and heads out to by where Numl's window was Sandy (11:56 pm): F: firing at the assailant, then Sandy (11:57 pm): (connection's off today. c_c) Bauks (12:01 am): As CAP rounds whistle past him, he turns around and uses Numl as a shield, and the foxboy's struck by one - unless Frosty can very very quickly cease shooting Sandy (12:02 am): (holding onto someone being shot with an electric round = bad idea) Bauks (12:02 am): (He doesn't know that) Bauks (12:02 am): ( ) Sandy (12:03 am): F: is definately no gunfox, he probably hits Numl. Bauks (12:04 am): N: hit! He shouts and goes limp fast, but the guy holding him - who is a deer now that he can be properly seen! - falls onto his back, Numl on top of him Sandy (12:05 am): F: glances down, out the window - they're only on the second floor... Bauks (12:05 am): C: hurries out after Commanche, looking ahead - he spots Numl and sprints after him Bauks (12:05 am): ?: lying there with Numl, still ... Sandy (12:05 am): F: steps back, opening the presumably-busted-out window, before just jumping out of the window, landing with a roll Agh... Bauks (12:06 am): (Numl had room number 302... c_c) Sandy (12:06 am): (...Oh) Sandy (12:06 am): F: didn't do that then Sandy (12:07 am): F: just took off running, then Bernard (12:07 am): running next to Contrast, toward Numl and the assailant Comanche (12:08 am): also sprints over to where Numl and his assailant is Bauks (12:08 am): ?: Once they get too close... Bauks (12:10 am): ?: The ground under him suddenly shoots up, on another pillar of solidified molten rock, with them on top of it - just like the lizard does, this quickly puts him out of reach Bauks (12:10 am): ?: And it keeps going up, for about three stories... Sandy (12:11 am): F: Bursts out of hte hotel, running around to where the action is Bauks (12:11 am): C: growls and takes a running jump, trying to grab onto the side - he makes quite a leap, but lets go when the very hot rock proves too hot to hand on to Comanche (12:11 am): %+#$! reaches over for a radio/phone to begin calling police to respond to a kidnapping Sandy (12:11 am): F: aims upward, staying back so he has an angle ... Bauks (12:12 am): ?: must be laying rather flat... Bernard (12:12 am): F: Contrast, it's too hot...! Sandy (12:12 am): F: ~You'll have to get up sometime...~ Sandy (12:13 am): F: Comanche, how accurate are you? Bauks (12:13 am): C: Yeah I realized! shaking his hands, wincing Bernard (12:16 am): (We'll BRB) Sandy (12:16 am): (These constant pauses are a real mood-killer in a fast paced scene. Let's just stop and do this when you two are able.) Comanche (12:17 am): Why? What do you want me to hit? Comanche (12:19 am): .back 50 Comanche (12:19 am): (oops) Bauks (12:31 am): (back.) Bernard (12:32 am): (Timed out there) Bauks (12:32 am): (SX, don't get all perfect-punctuation complain mode on me I haven't even been doing something else in particular, RPing in person with another RPer there in person just feels kinda herky-jerky to me) Bauks (12:33 am): (It'll get better but please bear with me) Sandy (12:33 am): (...I'm not) Sandy (12:34 am): (I'm serious. It's distracting and randomly, unexpectedly having to wake 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, kills the mood.) Bauks (12:35 am): (By bear with me, I mean let's keep going now?) Sandy (12:36 am): (Alright. Dad's bothering me though) Bauks (12:38 am): ?: As said! Bauks (12:38 am): ?: he must be lying pretty flat, because neither he or Numl can be seen... Sandy (12:39 am): F: The kidnapper. Go up to the roof. Comanche (12:41 am): That's kind of hard at the moent >> on one of the solid rock pillars three stories up Bauks (12:42 am): (... o.o) Bauks (12:42 am): (What) Bauks (12:42 am): (There's only one pillar here, and Numl and ? are on it) Sandy (12:43 am): (Yeah o.o) Comanche (12:43 am): (Oh, you made it sound like the people goign after him were on it >> ) Comanche (12:43 am): nvm that then Right goes in and runs inside, starting to run up the stair case to head for the roof Sandy (12:45 am): (Dad FINALLY left c_c) Bauks (12:46 am): Once Comanche gets up there, he sees... Bauks (12:46 am): That at some point, the rock pillar was hollowed out, into a cylinder - ? must have sunk himself into it! Comanche (12:48 am): %+#$ it! call Frosty He hollowed it and sunk into it. I can't see them Sandy (12:48 am): F: %+#$ it...~what if he can dig underground?~ Sandy (12:48 am): F: Connie. Sandy (12:48 am): F: You have the best hearing. Listen to the ground. Bauks (12:49 am): C: blinks, and kneels down, putting his ear to the ground - and grows it, right before their eyes Bernard (12:50 am): F: watches ... Bauks (12:50 am): C: Gah... nothing. There's nothing. Sandy (12:50 am): F: That means they're in there... Bauks (12:50 am): C: If he is digging, he's too low for me to get it... Sandy (12:51 am): F: Can you...can you get me up there and lower me back down? Bauks (12:51 am): C: Me? Bauks (12:51 am): C: Uh... Sandy (12:51 am): F: nod Bauks (12:54 am): C: I... how? Sandy (12:54 am): F: You're a shapeshifter. I don't know what your extent is. I know you're definately strong enough to hold me... Bauks (12:56 am): C: I can't think of anything I can do, I can't grow very large without being too heavy to move. Bauks (12:57 am): C: I can't throw you that high either. Bauks (12:57 am): C: growls ... Sandy (12:57 am): F: Throwing me three floors up is a bad idea. closes his eyes Bauks (12:58 am): C: They got away. Bauks (12:59 am): C: Who did that? Why Numl? looks to Frosty Comanche (1:00 am): ...come down from the roof then Sandy (1:05 am): (...I don't know what to do here.) Bauks (1:05 am): (Answer Contrast? c_c) Sandy (1:07 am): F: ...this %+#$ cult. Sandy (1:07 am): F: They think he's some kind of demon. Comanche (1:08 am): What?! That's nuts, and to think his mother is running it... Bauks (1:10 am): C: Numl? A demon? Sandy (1:10 am): F: They're in...they're in the middle of the desert. Bauks (1:11 am): C: What are they going to do with him? Sandy (1:11 am): F: ...I don't know. Comanche (1:11 am): We think they... dealt with... Roy. Sandy (1:11 am): F: They killed him. Bauks (1:12 am): C: ... ah %%+%. Sandy (1:15 am): F: I need...we need a helicopter, or...or something. Sandy (1:15 am): F: Or if we could get down there... Sandy (1:15 am): F: sits Sandy (1:16 am): F: Are we sure they're not there? points at the pillar Right there? Sandy (1:16 am): F: Try...try ot listen for them. Bauks (1:16 am): C: ... puts his ear up to the pillar again Bauks (1:18 am): C: frowns, and curls his hand up slightly... and starts to grow a long mass of bone out from it, into the shape of a large club Comanche (1:18 am): (Im going to bed now xx night) Bauks (1:24 am): C: lifts it up, and swings it, as hard as he can, at the rocky cylinder - nothnig happens, for a few hits, but he reshapes the bone into a pick shape on the front and manages to bust through - the rapidly-cooled rock is brittle Sandy (1:32 am): (if it's just us two and we already know where this is going, isn't this just kind of going through the motions?) Bauks (1:32 am): (Indeed) Sandy (1:33 am): (let's just stop and pick up where we left off when there are others here) Bauks (1:33 am): (Tomorrow let's pick up where this left off!) Sandy (1:43 am): (Indeed) ~Hope, like Love, never dies. It may seem to disappear at times, but it’s always there, ready to be found again.~

Frosty (8:15 pm): Frosty: has probably led anyone interested to the alley. He's quite agitated. Comanche (8:15 pm): followed Frosty into the alley way then shylarah (8:16 pm): Sk&B: somewhere else Contrast (8:16 pm): C: following Frosty - he used a sort of bone pickaxe to smash through the cylinder, finding nothing inside. Bernard (8:16 pm): F: is in the alley, too shylarah (8:16 pm): L: looked too, after Contrast had gone Contrast (8:17 pm): There isn't any obvious portal in the alley - but there's a disturbance on the ground, that indicates the stag that kidnapped Numl rose up at that point Comanche (8:17 pm): Think they just warped off using some magic? Frosty (8:18 pm): F: Maybe...entering the alley cautiously, gun drawn Bernard (8:18 pm): F: Who knows. hands in his pockets, he's fidgety Contrast (8:19 pm): C: So Roy came here, specifically...? Contrast (8:19 pm): C: And so did this deer. Nah, there's got to be something here that warped them. Comanche (8:19 pm): Maybe something hidden then... Frosty (8:19 pm): F: Look for something...anyhting. Contrast (8:20 pm): C: starting from one end of the alley, he puts his hand on it and walks along, running his hand along the brick surface Bernard (8:20 pm): F: walks by Contrast's side, looking on the ground in the middle Comanche (8:20 pm): Anyone here good at detecting magical things like that? Contrast (8:21 pm): C: I don't think any of us are. shylarah (8:21 pm): L: might not be immediately obvious, but she is rowning shylarah (8:21 pm): *frowning Comanche (8:21 pm): glance behind him ...something up Lani? shylarah (8:22 pm): L: .....there's...something.....sounds like she's not really paying attention to them Frosty (8:22 pm): F: Lani? Contrast (8:23 pm): If Lani can detect it, there's something up with the wall opposite the one Contrast is checking, about in the middle... shylarah (8:23 pm): L: I...can't quite tell....phaes out completely, and starte putting her hand through the surrounding walls, not tarting in the right spot, and probably passing right through at least one person in the process, even though she usually politely avoids doing so Frosty (8:24 pm): F: ~Numl...we're coming for you, kid.~ Contrast (8:25 pm): Eventually, she finds a wall that... ripples, like water, when she touches it. shylarah (8:25 pm): L: eventually reaches the right spot Here! right here -- it's not...it's not a wall... Contrast (8:25 pm): Think Mario 64's paintings, though few of you will get that, sadly. shylarah (8:26 pm): L: It's somewhere else..... Bernard (8:26 pm): F: looks over at Lani Contrast (8:26 pm): C: glance at Lani, then Frosty shylarah (8:26 pm): ((...I get it!)) Comanche (8:26 pm): What? turns and looks at it It looks like a portal (I get it oo) shylarah (8:26 pm): ((that's terribly sad)) Frosty (8:26 pm): F: runs over to it, trying to hit the wall with a paw to see what happens Frosty (8:26 pm): (%%## dude, even I get it o.o) Frosty (8:26 pm): (The paintings!) Contrast (8:26 pm): Frosty's hand feels like he just punched something with the consistency of glue Frosty (8:26 pm): (god I found the not-portal painting hilarious) Frosty (8:27 pm): (Mario: Jumphitfall on face Oooh...) shylarah (8:27 pm): L: phase in a -- not a door, not quite... Frosty (8:27 pm): (paintings) shylarah* (8:27 pm): ((...that, I don't know about...)) Frosty (8:28 pm): F: I think we go through this. Let's go. Contrast (8:28 pm): C: Wait, we... are we ready for this? Bernard (8:28 pm): F: Contrast is right. muttering Could be quite dangerous. Frosty (8:29 pm): F: It could be dangerous to wait. What if they close the portal, or hurt him? Frosty (8:29 pm): F: C'mon! shylarah (8:29 pm): L: ....I don't care if we're ready. Roy's dead; Numl's in trouble -- shaking slightly with anger I might not be able to do much, but I'm going. you do what you want. goes Contrast (8:29 pm): C: ... right... Comanche (8:30 pm): Yeah, we need to go now! steps into the portal, pistol drawn Bernard (8:30 pm): F: sighs, moving to follow ... shylarah (8:30 pm): ((...not smart, but then, how much can they do to omeone they can't touch, right? of course, she can't do much to them, either...)) Frosty (8:30 pm): F: just walks into the wall shylarah (8:30 pm): ((^.^)) Contrast (8:31 pm): C: ... walks in after him, making a sort of wrist-blade of bone to protect himself, lacking Frosty's gun shylarah (8:31 pm): L: not in view on the other side Bernard (8:31 pm): F: looks over at Contrast ...can you give me something like that? Bernard (8:31 pm): F: I'm unarmed. shylarah (8:31 pm): ((...he has one of bits' blades... shylarah (8:32 pm): )) shylarah (8:32 pm): ((but that isn't much._) Comanche (8:32 pm): looking around on the other side Lani? Bernard (8:32 pm): (No he doesn't, he asked Contrast to get rid of it after he used it as a murder weapon) Frosty (8:32 pm): F: if anyone in the cult is there on the other side, he immediately holds the most-important-looking person at gunpoint. If not, he just looks around. shylarah (8:33 pm): ((...did contrast give it back? and....on the Faceless?)) Frosty (8:33 pm): (No, on the woman in the diner that day) Frosty (8:33 pm): (He stabbed her...long story) shylarah (8:33 pm): ((....he did? ohdear....)) shylarah (8:33 pm): (I'll find out later.)) shylarah (8:33 pm): ((...but Bits said she wanted it back.)) shylarah (8:34 pm): ((hey, Ash)) Bernard (8:34 pm): (Then they will have a problem later) shylarah (8:34 pm): ((...Bits is going to be upset.)) Ash Fox (8:34 pm): (Twists Contrast's knob) shylarah (8:34 pm): ((ah, well.)) Contrast (8:34 pm): There's nobody there - they're in a small entryway... Contrast (8:34 pm): (text adventure mode) Frosty (8:35 pm): F: Stop. looking around Look for some kind of security system... Contrast (8:35 pm): There's exits north and south. South seems to lead out to the desert. Ash Fox (8:35 pm): (Can't take ye flask) Contrast (8:35 pm): If the window showing sand dunes on the other side is any indication. shylarah (8:35 pm): L: <I'm phased out and invisible. Honestly....> Frosty (8:35 pm): F: heads north Contrast (8:36 pm): C: Wait! shylarah (8:36 pm): ((should I make a map? out of habit)) Contrast (8:36 pm): C: Look... look through the door slowly. Contrast (8:36 pm): (I already am making a little map kinda thing shylarah (8:36 pm): (...yeah, but you know what's there. We don't.)) Bernard (8:36 pm): (Faust asked Contrast something) Frosty (8:36 pm): F: nods, rounding the corner slowly, gun pointed forward Contrast (8:37 pm): (It's extremely low-detail, just copy-pasted squares showing room relationships) shylarah (8:37 pm): ((...there's no corner, that I saw...)) Ash Fox (8:37 pm): (Holas Omni-Pants) Frosty (8:37 pm): (The doorway.) Contrast (8:38 pm): There's three men on the other side of the door, in robes like what Roy used to wear - and exits in all four cardinal directions (Yeah, it's just a door to the north...) Frosty (8:38 pm): (Hey, Terg) shylarah (8:38 pm): ((....that's how I do it, with lines connecting them. ^.^ I play text adventures) shylarah (8:38 pm): ((TERG! TRANSCRIPTS?! PLEASE?!?!?)) Frosty (8:38 pm): (guys, less OOC please?) Comanche (8:38 pm): behind Frosty, but not rounding the corner Dio Cheysa (8:38 pm): (I can handle transcripts from the last coupla nights - sending them to you now) shylarah (8:39 pm): L: <.....let me see if I can find out what they are saying.>> Contrast (8:39 pm): C: letting Frosty lead the way in... shylarah (8:39 pm): ((THANKYOU!!) Contrast (8:39 pm): C: Also, he gives Faust a wrist-blade just like his own. Frosty (8:39 pm): F: <No time, Lani!> Bernard (8:39 pm): F: thus is following! shylarah (8:39 pm): L: ghosts through the door <...whatever. I can make very convincing illusions, but that's about it.> Frosty (8:40 pm): F: Freeze! Comanche (8:40 pm): ~He's over amped~ follows after Frosty, gun drawn shylarah (8:40 pm): ((...giggles)) Contrast (8:40 pm): 1/2/3: whirl around to face the door - one of them takes a step to a nearby red button, reaching for it... Comanche (8:41 pm): fires at the one reaching for the red button! shylarah (8:41 pm): L: button tursn into a snake Contrast (8:41 pm): (Lethal?) Contrast (8:41 pm): (Terg) Comanche (8:41 pm): (Yes, though likely not aimed to kill) shylarah (8:42 pm): ((...illusion, but it LOOKS lethal!)) Contrast (8:42 pm): (Want in on the raid of a cult that believes Numl is a demon that can't be killed but has to be tortured out of existence) Dio Cheysa (8:42 pm): (oo) Contrast (8:42 pm): (Not you, Shy :P) Contrast (8:42 pm): (?) Frosty (8:42 pm): (explained in PM) Dio Cheysa (8:42 pm): (yes) Dio Cheysa (8:42 pm): (why the heck not? :P) Frosty (8:42 pm): F: fires at one of the others, then points his gun at the third Dio Cheysa (8:42 pm): (I get to kill things ^^) Frosty (8:43 pm): (Good boy!) Contrast (8:43 pm): 1: shot and sent to the ground, bleeding shylarah (8:43 pm): L: meanwhile, looks for other buttons! Contrast (8:43 pm): 2: electrified! Frosty (8:43 pm): F: Don't move! Contrast (8:43 pm): 1: squirms away from the snake button >< Dio Cheysa (8:44 pm): (so at the moment they are at the portal, or just about to get to it?) Contrast (8:44 pm): 3: stays in place ... Contrast (8:44 pm): (They just entered) Frosty (8:44 pm): (They just stepped through) shylarah (8:44 pm): ((past it.)) Frosty (8:44 pm): (right before you entered, they just entered the first room) Dio Cheysa (8:44 pm): (okay) Contrast (8:44 pm): (They ended up in an entryway, a door behind them leading to the desert and a door in front leading into the complex, they just went through the door in front) Comanche (8:45 pm): Where is the cult compound? Frosty (8:45 pm): (in the middle of the vast desert east of the city =o) Dio Cheysa (8:45 pm): she currently has her holographic disguise up, but that doesn't minimize her savagery as she readies her beam halberd Frosty (8:45 pm): (but the portal is in an alley) Frosty (8:46 pm): F: approaches him Hands up. Contrast (8:47 pm): 3: comply Who are you... Frosty (8:47 pm): F: That's not important. Frosty (8:47 pm): F: Where's the boy? shylarah (8:47 pm): L: button returns to normal, but Lani's standing in front of it. Contrast* (8:47 pm): 3: Boy? shylarah (8:48 pm): L: appear, looking VERY angry Yes! describe Frosty (8:48 pm): F: Green fur. Three tails. Kidnapped. Brought through here. Dio Cheysa (8:48 pm): Numl! snarls as she brings up the shining beam halberd's blade to the guy's neck Dio Cheysa (8:48 pm): My way is better. shylarah (8:48 pm): ((Green? huh.)) Contrast (8:48 pm): 3: ... mutters something quietly, glaring at Frosty and Dio Frosty (8:49 pm): F: Out loud! shylarah (8:49 pm): L: ....Or I can do something..... shylarah (8:49 pm): L: only partly bluffing Comanche (8:50 pm): Yes, I think you have good reason to tell us now. shylarah (8:50 pm): L: but she sounds /very/ serious Contrast (8:52 pm): C: keeping his distance from the group Contrast (8:52 pm): C: ~I imagined there would be more...~ Contrast (8:52 pm): 3: ... I... won't help you. sternly shylarah (8:53 pm): L: I would hurry up, if I were you. starts to glow Frosty (8:53 pm): F: fires shylarah (8:53 pm): L: looks at the others .... Contrast (8:53 pm): 3: zapped! shylarah (8:53 pm): L: ....or that, yeah. Contrast (8:53 pm): C: Where to? shylarah (8:53 pm): L: ....I'll go one way. They won't see me...I odn't think... Contrast (8:54 pm): C: earperk ... Frosty (8:54 pm): F: turns, looking at the other zapped cultist Frosty (8:54 pm): F: Maybe this one will be more helpful? Comanche (8:55 pm): I would hope... especially after his buddy didn't say anything shylarah (8:55 pm): L: ....I doubt it. Just kill him, and don't waste time. Dio Cheysa (8:55 pm): They are useless to us now. shylarah (8:55 pm): L; <^.~> Bernard (8:55 pm): F: looks around, quietly8 Contrast* (8:55 pm): C: moves to the west door, putting his ear up to it ... Contrast (8:55 pm): C: Numl...! hushedly Frosty (8:55 pm): F: looks at 2 - then at Contrast What? shylarah (8:56 pm): L: whirls toward C <Where?!> Contrast (8:56 pm): C: lowers his head down He's past here, I can hear him, he's... Frosty (8:56 pm): F: Kick the door down! Contrast (8:56 pm): Lani is repulsed from the door the closer she gets to it... shylarah (8:56 pm): L: <that's enough for me.> vanish and phasse out Bernard (8:56 pm): F: looks at Contrast, blinking What do you hear...? shylarah (8:56 pm): L: ...I can't...get through... Contrast (8:56 pm): C: looks at it - it's no ordinary door, it's steel and appears to open and close electronically Contrast (8:57 pm): Or at least, appears to be steel, but in actuality is much sterner stuff Contrast (8:57 pm): There's a biometric scanner on either side of it... Contrast (8:57 pm): But yes, very sturdy and there's no handle to speak of shylarah (8:58 pm): L: ......mumbles something foul Dio Cheysa (8:58 pm): steps up to it ...perhaps all it needs is a little persuasion. Frosty (8:58 pm): F: yanks 2 up, turning him to face the door and shoving his gun in his back Frosty (8:58 pm): F: Dio, wait, if it's broken, it might be harder to open. Contrast (8:58 pm): 2: >< weakly We can't open this... shylarah (8:59 pm): L: How do you open it? appears again, right next to him Frosty (8:59 pm): F: Who can. shylarah (8:59 pm): L: or who, yeah. Contrast (8:59 pm): 2: You... can't open it with these, you'll... Contrast (8:59 pm): 2: You need to open it remotely from somewhere else... Frosty (8:59 pm): F: Where? Bernard (8:59 pm): F: Is he okay, Contrast...? Contrast** (9:00 pm): 2: points north shylarah (9:00 pm): L: hissing Contrast (9:00 pm): C: ... shakes his head He... might just be yelling from being scared, but... shylarah (9:01 pm): L: fine. I'm going to see if there's a break in the barrier. If I get in, you'll know. phase out and move into the rock, as opposed to the door Frosty (9:01 pm): F: Take us there. If you try anything funny, we'll execute you and everyone here. growls Go! Comanche (9:02 pm): This is like doom or something... takes a few steps North ...if this is a trap... Contrast (9:02 pm): 2: You, you need keys to get through that door... nods at the north door shylarah (9:02 pm): L: plans on going at it from every angle, including above and below, but hesitates Frosty (9:02 pm): F: Where are they. Dio Cheysa (9:02 pm): I was thinking of cutting door open, myself. shylarah (9:03 pm): L: steps back out of the rock ...keys? Dio Cheysa (9:03 pm): No need for silly keys - just make new door! shylarah (9:03 pm): L: or if there are alarms... Dio Cheysa (9:03 pm): raises her beam halberd and strikes at the door shylarah (9:03 pm): L: open it from the other side* Bernard (9:03 pm): F: shudders, looking at the door ... Contrast (9:03 pm): In a bright flash of plasma sparks, Dio... accomplishes nothing shylarah (9:03 pm): L: can she get through the north door Comanche (9:03 pm): blink, watch Dio Nothing, %%##. Contrast (9:04 pm): There are two key card scanners on either side of the north door - and Lani can not, it appears all locked doors are protected magically as well shylarah (9:04 pm): L: tries to, at least Frosty (9:04 pm): F: Dio. The panel with that alarm button. Destroy it. Dio Cheysa (9:04 pm): Shielding?! On this planet? tries another whack at it shylarah (9:04 pm): L: what is probably VERY foul language Contrast (9:04 pm): FLASH! Contrast (9:04 pm): nothing Dio Cheysa (9:04 pm): and then swings the beam halberd into that alarm panel Contrast (9:05 pm): 2: There... are probably extras in the lockers... Frosty (9:05 pm): F: Go to it, then! Frosty (9:05 pm): F: to 2 shylarah (9:05 pm): L: extra what? shylarah (9:05 pm): ((x that.)) shylarah (9:05 pm): L: And don't try anything. right next to him Comanche (9:05 pm): Yeah stand next to 2 Contrast (9:06 pm): 2: starts leading the way to the simple door to the west! Contrast (9:06 pm): Alarm panel: melted/exploded/all around destroyed shylarah (9:06 pm): ((...I thought the west door i where Numl is?)) Frosty (9:06 pm): (east?) Contrast (9:06 pm): (er. Numl = east.) Dio Cheysa (9:06 pm): Now THAT was somewhat satisfying... Contrast (9:06 pm): (Sorry.) Frosty (9:06 pm): F: follows, closely Frosty (9:06 pm): (Oh) shylarah (9:06 pm): ((ah, okay.)) Comanche (9:06 pm): following 2 Ash Fox (9:06 pm): (Irrational desire to sing the Pet Shop Boys classic) Bernard (9:07 pm): F: waiting at the door, fidgeting Contrast (9:07 pm): C: ... C'mon, Faust, with us. Bernard (9:07 pm): F: I don't know what use I am here... follows, though Frosty (9:08 pm): F: Will anyone else be there? shylarah (9:08 pm): L: <when the door is open, I"m going straight into the other room from whichever room I'm in....I won't let them see me, but I am going.. Fair warning. I'll stay inside the walls, for the most part, until you catch up, but..... trails off Contrast (9:08 pm): They enter a small room with a podium, with some form of holy Solarology book on it... Contrast (9:09 pm): More importantly, as soon as 2 steps in, he's blasted by a small jet of flame from one side shylarah (9:09 pm): L: ....glare at book Comanche (9:09 pm): blink, stepping back Frosty (9:09 pm): F: steps back Contrast (9:09 pm): 2: flails, shouts, falling away from the flame's source AAH! Ash Fox (9:09 pm): (I have B&J's! You can't stop me from eating it! ) Contrast (9:09 pm): 4: ... NATHAN! Sorry! shylarah (9:09 pm): L: Idiot! shylarah (9:10 pm): L: turns into a phoenix. with heat. and advances on 4! Contrast (9:10 pm): 2: more yelling, rolls to put himself out Dio Cheysa (9:10 pm): jets over the heads of everyone else so she can get first dibs with her beam halberd around the corner Bernard (9:10 pm): (...she can do that too?) Contrast (9:10 pm): 4: blinks, and blasts flame at Lani, distracted Bernard (9:10 pm): (@ Lani) shylarah (9:10 pm): ((....it's illusion.)) Contrast (9:10 pm): (It's an illusion, isn't it) Frosty (9:10 pm): (I don't think Lani can actually -do- anything with it) shylarah (9:11 pm): L: safely phased out Frosty (9:11 pm): (She's just drawing fire - pun intended, I'm sorry - so the others can approach) Frosty (9:11 pm): F: runs into the room, trying to tackle 4 shylarah (9:11 pm): L: you /will/ help us.... Bernard (9:11 pm): (Oh, thought she was actually doing it) Comanche (9:11 pm): moves in if it is clear Contrast (9:11 pm): 4: fire blast >_____< shylarah (9:11 pm): ((yeah. And she can create some heat....but not enough to do more than a minor burn* Contrast (9:11 pm): 4: meanwhile, he's quite open for horrible beam halberd raep shylarah (9:12 pm): )) Dio Cheysa (9:13 pm): swing batta batta swing! Dio Cheysa (9:13 pm): this ain't no T-Ball but she's acting like it is! Comanche (9:14 pm): moving closer as 4 becomes more distracted Frosty (9:14 pm): F: didn't tackle 4 then. That would be a pretty unforunate place to get stuck in. Frosty (9:14 pm): F: scanning the room, looking for anyone else Bernard (9:14 pm): F: backs away from the fire and such, knife arm raised shylarah (9:14 pm): ((no, her only powers are illusion...she might be able to /convince/ someone that they are injured, though....or enough mental trauma to cause psychological damage, but that's hard to do. And she can sorta influence people, slightly)) Contrast (9:14 pm): 4: swung at, and carved up in an entirely unhygenic way Contrast (9:15 pm): (So they don't actually get burned, just experience the sensation) shylarah (9:15 pm): L: turn back into herself shylarah (9:16 pm): ((....yeah, mostly.)) Dio Cheysa (9:16 pm): So! lands, whirling around to make sure the rest of the room is clear Who wants next to die?! Contrast (9:16 pm): 2: cower from Dio Frosty (9:16 pm): F: ...looks for a fire extinguisher Dio Cheysa (9:16 pm): ("Gee Dio, might have been useful to keep him alive or something") Contrast (9:16 pm): Room: otherwise empty of life Dio Cheysa (9:16 pm): (TT I KEEL! chop suey) Comanche (9:17 pm): Alright, so where is what we need in here? Bernard (9:17 pm): F: Others have probably heard the commotion, we need to hurry... Contrast (9:17 pm): (I guess if they knew/figured out it was an illusion they might be able to resist, but that would take some mental power...) shylarah (9:17 pm): ((but if they press hard enough, like at an illusion shield, it'll give. the idea is to make them THINK it's not worth checking)) Bernard (9:17 pm): F: starts looking around for keys Frosty (9:17 pm): (at any rate it would take more concentration than probably available while you're being hacked to death or tackled by enraged snowfoxes, etc) Contrast (9:18 pm): (... yeah ) shylarah (9:18 pm): ((yeah.)) shylarah (9:18 pm): ((^.^)) Contrast (9:19 pm): There's no keys in this room - it's some kind of room for scripture reading to a group shylarah (9:19 pm): L: ....Nathan? darkly Frosty (9:19 pm): any fire extinguisher or similar devices? Contrast (9:20 pm): (Yes, there is!) Contrast (9:20 pm): (er) Contrast (9:20 pm): yes, there is! Contrast (9:20 pm): 2: >< shylarah (9:20 pm): ((...we got it. ^.^)) Frosty (9:20 pm): F: retrieves it, unless doing so trips a fire alarm or similar Frosty (9:20 pm): F: Faust. Contrast (9:20 pm): There's one. They probably need them from time to time. Dio Cheysa (9:20 pm): So, my little friend...are you sure you do not wish to be, how you say...cooperative? fanged grin Contrast (9:20 pm): There's another door in the back of the room, farther to the west Contrast (9:21 pm): 2: T-the locker room is there! point at west door Bernard (9:21 pm): F: heads over to that door, trying to go through shylarah (9:21 pm): L: ...thank you. sweetly shylarah (9:21 pm): L; ^.^ Frosty (9:22 pm): F: follows him Take this. It mgith come in handy. Bernard (9:22 pm): F: Hm? looks over shylarah (9:22 pm): L: While they do that, Nathan, how about you answer a few questions.... Frosty (9:23 pm): F: In case you need a weapon. Contrast (9:23 pm): As Faust takes the fire extinguisher - if he indeed does - he notices, in one of the lockers, the glint of a card key Bernard (9:23 pm): F: Oh...right. takes the extinguisher Thanks... Frosty (9:23 pm): F: hands it over, then goes to investigate the book Contrast (9:23 pm): Conveniently, these locker doors look flimsy enough to bash in with a fire extinguisher Bernard (9:23 pm): F: ...what's in that locker? goes over to it shylarah (9:24 pm): L: What, aside from the sun herself, do you people regard a holy? Any specific beings? shylarah (9:24 pm): as holy Contrast (9:24 pm): 2: >< Comanche (9:24 pm): Well, open it up then! Contrast (9:24 pm): 2: Fire...? Bernard** (9:24 pm): F: looks down at the extinguisher, then hefts it, and swings it into the locker with some nice force Frosty (9:25 pm): F: If he gives any other smartass answers, Lani, I'll shoot him. shylarah (9:25 pm): L: anything....a bit less of a phenomenon? Contrast (9:25 pm): crash! shylarah (9:25 pm): L: ....no, I will kill him. Slowly. I know a few...very effective techniques. Contrast (9:25 pm): It's bent inward Contrast (9:25 pm): 2: I didn't do anything... Frosty (9:25 pm): F: Not yet. Only if he refuses to be useful. Bernard (9:25 pm): F: bashes it a few more times, until he can reach in and grab the key Comanche (9:26 pm): Right, we got the key! Frosty (9:26 pm): F: On your feet! to 2 Contrast (9:26 pm): And this he gets it - two, in fact, of equal level of access shylarah (9:27 pm): L: .....You should keep it that way, then, Nathan. Now. How about a creature? I know a phoenix is the earthly manifestation of flame, for example. Dragons are earth-related, though some are fire-affinity, and can breathe it. Bernard (9:27 pm): F: Two keys, Comanche... holds them up Frosty (9:27 pm): F: Fact-finding later, Lani. Let's rescue Numl first. Comanche (9:27 pm): Hmm. Well then, extra door we can open hopefully Frosty (9:27 pm): F: Dio. Destroy that book. Hack it to pieces, burn it, I don't care. shylarah (9:27 pm): L: I am doing this for a reason, Frosty. shylarah (9:27 pm): L; No, don't. Let me take a look at it later. Contrast (9:27 pm): Book: sitting there, being booky Frosty (9:28 pm): F: There will be plenty, Lani. shylarah (9:28 pm): L: besides, it might have a trigger on it. shylarah (9:28 pm): L: that's unnecessary right now. Frosty (9:28 pm): F: Shut up! growls at Lani Contrast (9:28 pm): Books: well there are replicas on shelves lying around, Frosty's right shylarah (9:28 pm): L: Like you said, the goal is Numl! shylarah (9:29 pm): L: hissing Comanche (9:29 pm): Yeah, c'mon Frosty, let's rescue the kid and get out of here. Frosty (9:29 pm): F: looks at Nathan Where is Duvesa. Is she with Numl? Bernard (9:29 pm): F: just heads out of the room with the keys, heading back to that door where Numl was heard shylarah (9:29 pm): L: North door, Faust. Comanche (9:29 pm): follows Faust Contrast (9:29 pm): 2: She... yes... Frosty (9:30 pm): F: Good. We're heading to the next room now. Move. shylarah (9:30 pm): L: and my earlier question? shylarah (9:30 pm): L: to Nathan Contrast (9:31 pm): (The card keys work on the north door!* Bernard (9:32 pm): F: Be ready... holds the extinguisher in one hand, and swipes the card with the other Comanche (9:32 pm): holding his gun ready Frosty (9:32 pm): F: leaves Nathan to Lani, heading to the door, gun ready Dio Cheysa (9:32 pm): (wait why is Dio being told to destroy that one book again?) Contrast (9:32 pm): He has two cards, actually - and there's a scanner on either side that must be used in tandem with eachother shylarah (9:33 pm): ((....we are ignoring it for now...mostly out of anger, I believe.)) Frosty (9:33 pm): (Because Frosty's uncharacteristically pissed. :P) Contrast (9:33 pm): C: holds out his hand for the other card shylarah (9:33 pm): ((heehee)) Bernard (9:33 pm): F: makes a frustrated sound, handing the card to Contrast Okay, once more... Frosty (9:34 pm): (in fact, his anger is quite ooc for him! It's notworthy, but probably not important immediately.) Dio Cheysa (9:34 pm): ignores the order Think I am just here to destroy random paper...bah! remember, she comes from a place where paper is utterly worthless! shylarah (9:34 pm): ((..heehee.)) Contrast (9:34 pm): C: 1, 2, 3, swipe Bernard (9:34 pm): F: swipes it Contrast (9:35 pm): C: the door chimes and opens, leading to a large room which is decorated all around as a sort of museum Contrast (9:36 pm): Countless artifacts are inside in glass cases, in the large room Frosty (9:36 pm): F: scans the room, quickly Frosty (9:36 pm): F: What are these. Comanche (9:36 pm): Beats me, looks like a bunch of junk looking around for any possible threats Contrast (9:36 pm): There's exits again in all four directions, but only the one to the east matters, leading to the security room... Frosty (9:37 pm): F: unless there are cultists in the room, he looks at the artifacts quickly, seeing if any look immediately useful Contrast (9:37 pm): And none of them do. Frosty (9:37 pm): F: ignores them, then, heading to the security room Bernard (9:37 pm): F: heads that way, too Dio Cheysa (9:38 pm): watches the artifacts carefully, rattling her shell necklace as she goes along with the others Comanche (9:38 pm): Follows behind them Contrast (9:38 pm): C: heads for the door... which is lit up in red Contrast (9:39 pm): C: It gives a beep as they step in range of a scanner, a denying sort of beep Frosty (9:39 pm): F: looks back at Lani and Nathan shylarah (9:39 pm): L: Nathan! shylarah (9:39 pm): L: glares at him Contrast (9:39 pm): N: I-I don't know, that's usually not like that! Comanche (9:39 pm): Oh, they just put a new lock on it today? Comanche (9:40 pm): Where would THESE keys be? Are we gonna walk into anymore fireballs? shylarah (9:40 pm): L: gestures him forward Frosty (9:40 pm): F: Find a way in or we'll kill you and look for someone less useless. Contrast (9:40 pm): 2: I... looks around the room shylarah (9:40 pm): L: and if you are no longer of use....fireball in her hand Frosty (9:40 pm): F: growling Bernard (9:41 pm): F: Hold on, there must be a way... examining the scanner Comanche (9:41 pm): glaring Ash Fox (9:41 pm): ???: There's the quiet opening sound of the western door... followed by a metallic clicking on the floor tiles as something* makes its way into the large display room* Contrast (9:41 pm): C: heads for the door, which beeps again as he comes close - he jams his wrist blade inbetween the two electronic doors, trying to pry it open Frosty (9:41 pm): F: turns, pistol raised Contrast (9:41 pm): C: earperk, slowly look over his shoulder shylarah (9:41 pm): ((...you're in on this?)) shylarah (9:41 pm): ((...we sjust left the WEST room.)) Contrast (9:41 pm): (He is now. >:3) Comanche (9:41 pm): hears the clicking, spins around holding his pistol out in front of him Contrast (9:42 pm): (No, we came from the south.) Bernard (9:42 pm): F: moves to assist Contrast, until he hears the door opening and turns shylarah (9:42 pm): L: phases out and vanishes Ash Fox (9:42 pm): (Yes. Cleared with Boxxy. I'm being BAD. >:3) shylarah (9:42 pm): ((ah.)) Frosty (9:42 pm): (didn't even notice that was Ash and not Box that posted that, got confused) Comanche (9:42 pm): (Yeah, same here XD) Ash Fox (9:43 pm): ???: The something is tall, bipedal, and has an irregularly jagged silhouette, but looks roughly humanoid. It's silhouetted behind one of the large glass cases Frosty (9:43 pm): F: looks at NAthan shylarah (9:43 pm): L: looks at the signature Comanche (9:43 pm): Explain what that thing is and fast. Bernard (9:43 pm): F: holds the extinugisher and wristblade in front of him, defensively, looking at the figure Contrast (9:44 pm): 2: T... that's the guy Duvesa hired to... Ash Fox (9:44 pm): ???: A distorted voice booms from the figure Welcome, ignorant masses! Contrast (9:44 pm): @: I thought he left! Contrast (9:44 pm): (2) shylarah* (9:44 pm): L: Lizard? Frosty (9:44 pm): F: just shoots 2 again, before looking at the figure Dio Cheysa (9:44 pm): Mother of eels! Take this! shatter the glass case with her beam halberd Contrast (9:44 pm): 2: BZZRTTT go limp shylarah (9:45 pm): L: FROSTY! Contrast (9:45 pm): (She finds it quite unshatterable!* Frosty (9:45 pm): F: He'll be fine. shylarah (9:45 pm): L: he didn't know. He was telling the truth! Contrast (9:45 pm): No, these cases are made of stern stuff Dio Cheysa (9:45 pm): boing ...that was not pleasant. Dio Cheysa (9:45 pm): vibrations roll up the handle into her arms shylarah (9:45 pm): L: ....And someone said /I/ needed to calm down! Dio Cheysa (9:45 pm): (afk for a bit, taking care of lawn* Frosty (9:45 pm): F: Shut up! Ash Fox (9:45 pm): ???: What a pleasure to see that there are, even here--Pauses as the glass repels the attck--fools daft enough to break into facilities such as these. shylarah (9:45 pm): (...okay)) Comanche (9:46 pm): What's your name! Ash Fox (9:46 pm): ???: Sadly for you, my job entails exterminating rats such as yourselves. Do try not to take it personally. Contrast (9:46 pm): C: ~I need to get a gun already.~ ... this man just said you were hired - you don't care about this place. Contrast (9:47 pm): C: Let's talk about this. Comanche (9:47 pm): Well then, why don't you step out from behind the glass and stop being a coward. shylarah (9:47 pm): L: <listen to me. I am just as upset about this as you probably are. Numl...is one of four I count as good friends....Three, now....but that does not mean being irrationally violent.> Frosty (9:47 pm): F: just blocks Lani out. He's in no mood to be reasoned with. shylarah (9:47 pm): ((...wait, I thhought he was in front of the glass?)) Ash Fox (9:47 pm): ???: The helmet portion of the mechanised armour the figure is wearing slides open, revealing a smug-looking, white furred, vulpine face My name? Certainly, I can give you that at least. You'll be dead soon enough anyway. Contrast (9:48 pm): (He's on the other side of it* shylarah (9:48 pm): L: attempts to pass through the glass Ash Fox (9:48 pm): The name is Ash. Ash Fox. I'm the best at what I do. No job too small or great... The helmet slides shut again ...as long as the pay is good! Frosty (9:48 pm): (Ahahaha) shylarah (9:49 pm): ((....ash. how apropos)) Contrast (9:49 pm): The stage is set for a fight - a large, square room with a quite high ceiling - and lots of apparently inpenetrable but see-through cover Ash Fox (9:49 pm): (Yes. I've made him an ass this time ) Comanche (9:49 pm): (XD @ that. Cop Commie and Evil Ash XD) shylarah (9:49 pm): ((...gigglesnort)) Frosty (9:50 pm): (as opposed to...?) Frosty (9:50 pm): (...hide) shylarah (9:50 pm): ((....ouch!)) Frosty (9:50 pm): (Shy made me say it.) Frosty (9:50 pm): ((less ooc now) Ash Fox (9:50 pm): Glances at Contrast briefly I'm afraid I'm in no mood to talk, unless you can give me a better offer than what I have. Which I don't believe you can! Frosty (9:51 pm): F: How much money can an isolated cult have? Bernard (9:51 pm): F: looks at Ash ...why would you support such people? Frosty (9:51 pm): F: steps back, to facilitate taking cover behind a case Comanche (9:51 pm): Bah, we can drop him just the same. also steps back shylarah (9:51 pm): L: I can make a better offer....perhaps. shylarah (9:52 pm): L: shimmer into view Contrast (9:52 pm): C: moves behind something Ash Fox (9:52 pm): There's a series of whirrs and clicks as various panels slide open on the armour, revealing a variety of nasty-looking blasters and pointy things Who said I support them? I'm in this for numero uno! shylarah (9:52 pm): L: ....it was many years ago, and it will take some work, but....trying to remember Ash Fox (9:52 pm): I hope you have all made your peace with God, or whoever you worship! Frosty (9:52 pm): F: opens fire shylarah (9:53 pm): L: ....the time capsule..... Bernard (9:53 pm): F: sets the extinguisher down, as it's probably of no use against this foe shylarah (9:53 pm): L: frown Ash Fox (9:53 pm): Tenses Because it's showtime! Leaps up toward the ceiling in an arc, dropping a number of small metallic orbs in flight Contrast (9:53 pm): (Ash is still entirely behind something, isn't he? @ Frosty shootan) Bernard (9:53 pm): F: Contrast, I'm going to need a stronger weapon! backs up Comanche (9:53 pm): fires a shot at him as he leaps up at the ceiling Ash Fox (9:54 pm): Orbs: They land on the floor with a metallic ting, like ball bearings, before violently exploding with a big flash and a bang Contrast (9:54 pm): C: I... here! starts shaping Faust's hand into a large pickaxe made of dense bone Contrast (9:55 pm): C: He can do this while blinded... but little else Contrast (9:55 pm): C: shield eyes >___< Frosty (9:55 pm): F: >< Ash Fox (9:55 pm): Either the armour is bulletproof or the shot went wild, as he seems undamaged as he lands behind another glass case Comanche (9:55 pm): %%## it! shield his eyes while he goes to fire his second shot, causing it to miss horribly Bernard (9:55 pm): F: jumps backward to try dodging them, but gets blinded temporarily as well Contrast (9:56 pm): keeps his ears up, trying to listen for wherever Ash lands Ash Fox (9:57 pm): Gives a smug sounding cackle before vaulting over the case once more and landing nimbly at the edge of the group, before aiming a nasty kick at whomever he landed nearest to Frosty (9:57 pm): F: waits, to recover shylarah (9:57 pm): L:....I can't remember, curse it. I hate this! Bernard (9:57 pm): F: lying on his back, he swings his pickaxe defensively at Ash, trying to deflect the kick Contrast (9:58 pm): Kicked! Contrast (9:58 pm): (or not, Cinder beat me to it ) shylarah (9:58 pm): ((....heh.)) Frosty (9:58 pm): F: Not now, Lani! Do something useful! Comanche (9:58 pm): aims and fires at Ash as he swings around to deliver a kick before ducking back behind cover shylarah (9:59 pm): L: droop ~Useless...just like that /lizard/ said....~ Ash Fox (9:59 pm): There's a ricochet sound. Looks like that armour does indeed have some bulletproof properties to it. His foot connects with the axe, pushing down firmly against it Contrast (10:00 pm): C: from a distance, he looks at Ash's armor, trying to see if there's any gaps at all Frosty (10:00 pm): F: opens fire again. He's firing electrical rounds. Comanche (10:00 pm): duck, making sure he doesn't get caught by the bullet as it flies around We need to get out of here! Ash Fox (10:01 pm): Come now, is this all you have? Hahaha! Backflips away from F, crouches, and leaps back behind a sturdy case Bernard (10:01 pm): F: tries to pull the axe free, stumbling backward to his feet Contrast (10:01 pm): ~Ugh, this is going to be gross~ Contrast (10:02 pm): he waits and hides, as a rather unattractive sac starts to fill up under the skin of his forearm Ash Fox (10:03 pm): Dashes to one side, leaps and smashes a foot firmly into one of the cases. Not enough to break it, but more than enough to launch it in Frosty's direction Frosty (10:03 pm): F: fires again, and again, then just dives behind the nearest case shylarah (10:03 pm): L: ~I can create illusion. but nothing real. Not real forcefields, not real shielding....Cobalt could help, but she's not here... shylarah (10:03 pm): ~ Contrast (10:04 pm): Case: slides at Frosty, spinning, crashing into the case he went behind Ash Fox (10:04 pm): Careful observation may reveal that the armour's joints look to be slightly less protected than the rest of it... but getting at them will be tricky as he seems in no hurry to stay still Contrast (10:04 pm): C: dashes out of cover, suddenly, toward Ash, holding out a forearm - which sprays some kind of nasty acid at armor, suddenly shylarah (10:05 pm): L: ~Maybe....hm....~ starts creating the illusion of fog Comanche (10:05 pm): dash out behind the cases at the same time, firing where the acid hits Frosty (10:05 pm): F: reloads, turning to fire from behind cover Ash Fox (10:05 pm): Sprayed with acid... however it only seems to eat away a few mm of plating Cute! Responds by aiming a straight punch straight toward Contrast's face shylarah (10:05 pm): L: anyone other than Ash will find it it easy to see through, like a light mist, but Ash...for him, it's more like soup Bernard (10:06 pm): F: No! runs at Ash, raising up his pickaxe to strike at him bow that the acid's hit Ash Fox (10:06 pm): (The illusions work based on someone seeing them with the naked eye, right...?) shylarah (10:07 pm): ((....how does he see?)) Contrast (10:07 pm): (Well, no, anyone can see them, I think) shylarah (10:07 pm): ((she does the energy signature too, if that's what you mean. )) Contrast (10:07 pm): (Not just the target) Comanche (10:07 pm): duck back behind cover, assuming his bullets did notihng We need to get out of here, this is suicide guys! Ash Fox (10:07 pm): (He's using enhanced optics inside powered armour) Contrast (10:07 pm): C: takes it, and is hit, causing him to bend over backwards... Ash Fox (10:07 pm): (Ah right. Would probably fool that as well then) shylarah (10:07 pm): ((....enhanced optics...if they're relaying optical data, then he'll see it. Contrast (10:07 pm): C: and he stays there, impossibly maintaining balance when he should fall over shylarah (10:07 pm): ) Dio Cheysa (10:08 pm): (note, nobody else knows that Cobalt can create shields :P) Ash Fox (10:08 pm): Hm? The fog's fooling his optics... shylarah (10:08 pm): ((...I know.)) Contrast (10:08 pm): C: from this position - his tail turns into a scorpion tail shylarah (10:08 pm): L: from behind him Not so easy now, is it?* Frosty (10:09 pm): F: stops firing, aiming... Contrast (10:09 pm): C: which strikes at whatever Contrast deems to be a weak spot, trying to stab it through as he stands back up Frosty (10:09 pm): F: he starts firing at a leg joint, hoping to cripple Ash enough for the others to land some good hits in. Ash Fox (10:09 pm): But not his ears, and he moves just in time to avoid the axe blow. Not entirely though, as it glances off his arm shylarah (10:09 pm): ((just thin mist to the others. She is able, to some extent, "aim" her illusions)) Comanche* (10:10 pm): also trying to aim, looking to see if the head is more vulnerable, and he stands to fire another shot before he ducks down again to reload Ash Fox (10:10 pm): Crouches and leaps... and doesn't land. There's a metallic scraping sound from above Contrast (10:10 pm): C: misses with his scorpion tail, backs off %%## it... Frosty (10:10 pm): (brb. ice cream) Bernard (10:10 pm): F: looks upward, pick raised Comanche (10:11 pm): look up Ash Fox (10:11 pm): From above, looking down and hanging upside-down by the armour's tail which is now embedded in the ceiling Well well, not bad! Of course, I don't have to see you to kill you, you know! Dio Cheysa (10:11 pm): and here she leaps up with her jet boots, spinning her beam halberd as she launches up at Ash Die! Ash Fox (10:12 pm): If you could see his ears, they'd swivel toward the yell You first! Spins around the tail doing a full split, performing a nice helicopter kick* shylarah (10:12 pm): L: starts generating white noise <sorry guys....> shylarah (10:13 pm): L: directed at ash, it's a bit more strident, with a faint hint of a feedback loop. But that's pretty faint Dio Cheysa (10:13 pm): a nice helicopter kick right into the beam blade of her halberd - spppppppaaaarrks Comanche (10:14 pm): Anyone got any ideas? Now would be a good time to share 'em! watching Dio battle Ash Frosty (10:14 pm): (Back) Dio Cheysa (10:14 pm): (I'd share a hint that Ash just dropped but Dio isn't one to talk tactics :P) Ash Fox (10:14 pm): The armour gets a nice blade shaped burn mark along the leg, and the blade cuts a little into the plating. Otherwise though, it's still in one piece shylarah (10:15 pm): L: <yes. Stand down for a moment. Let's see if I can confuse him...> Dio Cheysa (10:15 pm): (although I guess Shy figured it out already) Contrast (10:15 pm): C'mon, what else can I do... shylarah (10:15 pm): ((...he spun AROUND his tail. doesn't sound like dropping)) Comanche (10:15 pm): <Fair enough then...> shylarah (10:15 pm): L: <and don't make noise!> Ash Fox (10:16 pm): Turns his head this way and that, then focuses on the source of the noise. There's a high-pitched whine from the armour, and then several nasty pointy flechettes launch out from the shoulders in a wide spread Ash Fox (10:16 pm): The white noise that is shylarah (10:16 pm): L: You don't need to see us? appears directly before him, clear despite the fog, and easy to hear, despite her noise interference shylarah (10:16 pm): ((...it doesn't "come" from anywhere. it's everywhere. in his head. ^.^;; )) Dio Cheysa (10:16 pm): she's a little...preoccupied with pulling away her halberd and spinning it to protect herself from the flechettes Filthy nautilus! I will cleave your shell and feed your meat to the eels!! Ash Fox (10:17 pm): (Ahh, thought it was focused.) shylarah (10:17 pm): ((...yeah, on him....)) Ash Fox (10:17 pm): (As in, coming from somewhere ;p) Frosty (10:17 pm): F: picks up a few shel lcasings, throwing them, hard, at the door to the security room Comanche (10:17 pm): if the flechettes are fired anyway, he winds up struck in the stomach, causing him to Yelp loudly Ash Fox (10:18 pm): They were No. In answer to her question, the armour discharges an electrical forcefield Contrast (10:18 pm): ~Comanche!~ Ash Fox (10:18 pm): It's brief, maybe only half a second shylarah (10:18 pm): L: unaffected. She's phased out, completely - just gets pushed back a little Contrast (10:19 pm): makes a mad dash over to him, sliding behind something Come here... shylarah (10:19 pm): L: Then why don't you kill me? Comanche (10:19 pm): hunched over, gritting his teeth I'm.... fine. Dio Cheysa (10:19 pm): let's see - does that mean anyone is bleeding yet? Frosty (10:19 pm): (XD) shylarah (10:19 pm): ((...ohgods.) Contrast (10:19 pm): (Commanche is!) Bernard (10:19 pm): F: taking cover Contrast (10:19 pm): (And Contrast has a bloody nose...) Frosty (10:20 pm): F: tries it again ~C'mon, fire a blaster or something.~ shylarah (10:20 pm): ((...lani's not very good with scent....^.^;; )) Contrast (10:20 pm): sticks a finger out, getting some blood from Comanche's wound and licking it Just a moment... shylarah (10:20 pm): ((....nice.)) Dio Cheysa (10:20 pm): well, fortunately, it's taken this long for her to smell it since she's above water...however, her eyes are getting a bit wild as it stands Comanche (10:20 pm): blink What are you doing.... Frosty (10:20 pm): (Commie: %%## it, Contrast...I'm HIV positive!) Ash Fox (10:21 pm): Can't focus on any sounds thanks to Lani's meddling Contrast (10:21 pm): Don't worry. FAUST! Break that pick off with your other hand! Contrast (10:21 pm): It won't hurt! shylarah (10:21 pm): ((....heehee)) Bernard (10:21 pm): F: blinks, but goes to break it off with his hand, trusting him Ash Fox (10:21 pm): Hmm, this feeling... Magic. Hah! How annoying... shylarah (10:22 pm): L: c'mon, big boy. I can't really fight. Ash Fox (10:22 pm): I guess we'll have to go with Plan B! shylarah (10:22 pm): L: but then, /you/ can't fight me, either.... Contrast (10:22 pm): it snaps right off, and as Contrast absorbs Commanche's DNA, Faust returns to normal Hang on... shylarah (10:22 pm): L: <go, guys, go!> shylarah (10:22 pm): L: <hurry!> Ash Fox (10:22 pm): A low-pitched humming starts emanating from the armour's shoulders Contrast (10:23 pm): dulls Commanche's pain, a great deal, and then digs the projectile out of him Bernard (10:23 pm): F: does he still have the pickaxe itself, just unattached? Contrast (10:23 pm): yes shylarah (10:23 pm): L: ? shylarah (10:23 pm): ((echolocation?)) Ash Fox (10:23 pm): Abrutply detaches from the ceiling, landing on the floor, and leaps behind a case after feeling for it with the tail Comanche (10:24 pm): blink as Contrast does so We need to go... Dio Cheysa (10:24 pm): and she dives right after him, a dire color filling her eyes as she smells blood...and it drives her instincts into overdrive Contrast (10:24 pm): shapeshifts Commanche, to seal the wound Ash Fox (10:24 pm): Usually I save this for special occasions, but seeing as you're being annoyingly diccicult to kill... Ash Fox (10:24 pm): difficult shylarah (10:25 pm): L: ....that is because I do not live. Contrast (10:25 pm): ~Where's Frosty...~ looks around Frosty (10:25 pm): F: near the exit, trying to aim shylarah (10:25 pm): L: sweetly, but the dark tone underneath it can be heard Comanche (10:25 pm): blink A-am I fine now? shylarah (10:26 pm): L: but neither am I a ghost. Ash Fox (10:26 pm): A set of flaps on the shoulders swing open, and a nasty bright blue-white light shines forth shylarah (10:26 pm): L: looks away shylarah (10:26 pm): ((what's it do?)) Frosty (10:26 pm): F: fires at the flaps, trying to get a bullet inside the compartment underneath Contrast (10:26 pm): Yeah. Contrast (10:26 pm): You're good! Contrast (10:26 pm): watches Frosty, then at the lights ~Yes! Do that!~ Contrast (10:27 pm): makes a sharp wrist-blade of bone, prepares to run after Ash Ash Fox (10:27 pm): GAMMA RAY! A massive, sustained beam of energy rips forth from the shoulders, tearing straight through the cases. He's aiming blind though as he slowly swivels, so there's time enough to move, hide or duck shylarah (10:27 pm): L: <whatever happens, if I don't show up, don't wait for me! GO!!!> Contrast (10:27 pm): ~NOT GOOD!~ Comanche (10:27 pm): DIVE out of the way @@ Just in time....moves towards the exit slowly, trying to stay ahead of the beam Bernard (10:28 pm): F: runs forward, diving out of the way of the energy, but continues to run to Ash to try to get a strike in with the pickaxe Contrast (10:28 pm): runs, trying to avoid the path of the swivelling ray - he runs toward Ash's side, trying to move around to stand right behind him Ash Fox (10:28 pm): It zig-zags up and down a bit, ripping chunks out of the wall and generally making a mess of the place, but also really not helping him much shylarah (10:29 pm): L: faint, high pitched keen <GUys, get out of here. Numl needs you....I can keep him distracted....he won't know you've gone!> Contrast (10:29 pm): Timed to arrive at Ash right after Faust hits him with the pickaxe Dio Cheysa (10:29 pm): she gets burned on the edge of her shoulder as she dives with her halberd Frosty (10:29 pm): F: <Did you forget something? We need to get in the security room to get to Numl!> Frosty (10:29 pm): F: tried to fire CAP rounds inside the armor Ash Fox (10:30 pm): The energy dissipates, and a blast fo hot air hisses out of the space between the armour's chest plates Bernard (10:30 pm): F: swings the pickaxe! Ash Fox (10:30 pm): Is then hit by both Faust and Contrast shylarah (10:30 pm): L: <then work on that.....> Contrast (10:30 pm): slips behind Ash as Faust swings, grabbing him around the waist Contrast (10:30 pm): The armor sure is heavy, but Contrast tends to keep himself in more than peak physical condition by shapeshifting... and goes for a suplex Ash Fox (10:31 pm): Ach! Flails the sharp-edged tail around, trying to either grip or slash at his attackers shylarah (10:31 pm): L: in his face Comanche (10:31 pm): also fires at the armor one more time, trying to spread his shots around in case he is able to find a weak spot Contrast (10:31 pm): LIFTS Ash up and back, continuing his throw in spite of being slashed at least once by the tail Dio Cheysa (10:31 pm): and she comes in from above, handling the tip of it that isn't bladed with both hands and bringing it down on top of Ash from above Ash Fox (10:32 pm): Suplex'd! shylarah (10:32 pm): (...what-ed?)) Ash Fox (10:32 pm): And also walloped with Dio's halberd blunt end Contrast (10:33 pm): (You don't know what a suplex is?) Ash Fox (10:33 pm): (SACRILEGE) Bernard (10:33 pm): F: raises the pickaxe over his head, and brings it down onto Ash's body, on top of all that shylarah (10:33 pm): ((....nuuu...maybe?)) Contrast (10:33 pm): Lets go, scrambling away Comanche (10:33 pm): (nope oo) Frosty (10:33 pm): (doesn't know what a suplex is, gathered from context clues enough to go with it anyway) Dio Cheysa (10:33 pm): (err) shylarah (10:33 pm): (...heh.) Bernard (10:33 pm): (o_o @ all of you) Ash Fox (10:33 pm): In spite of all that, he manages to get up again, but he falters briefly Ack... Contrast (10:33 pm): (You grab someone around the waist from behind and lift them up, falling backward) Dio Cheysa (10:33 pm): (she was hitting him with the bladed end, she had the other end in her hands) shylarah (10:33 pm): ((...ah...)) shylarah (10:34 pm): ((doesn't watch wrestling or anything like that)) Contrast (10:34 pm): (So they land on their head, very hard) Contrast (10:34 pm): (As you fall back) Dio Cheysa (10:34 pm): (like, she did the reverse of choking up on the halberd to get the full force) Ash Fox (10:34 pm): (Oh right. Hold on then.) shylarah (10:34 pm): (gotcha!)) Ash Fox (10:34 pm): Got hit by the halberd pretty nastily, the armour now has a scar across it's chest that looks pretty bad shylarah (10:35 pm): ((It looks like I'm starting to go down, guys....)) Ash Fox (10:35 pm): Steadies himself and pulls himself up to his full height, then raises a hand Comanche (10:35 pm): (D: Cya) Ash Fox (10:35 pm): ...Time out. shylarah (10:35 pm): ((....not sure...)) Frosty (10:35 pm): F: Time out? growls Contrast (10:35 pm): C: Time out?! ducked behind something, looking through glass shylarah (10:35 pm): L: Tell me why you want a time out! Bernard (10:35 pm): F: let's say he missed and got the pick stuck in the floor, which he quickly tugs out with a grunt Contrast (10:36 pm): (nooo he hit him) Dio Cheysa (10:36 pm): but she's not much in the mood for a "time-out" - she smelled blood Kill!! pulls back her halberd again for another blow - if someone wants to try to stop her, now isn't a bad time Contrast (10:36 pm): (And Contrast uses the time he was stunned from the blow to to his grab) shylarah (10:36 pm): L: you work for /them/ right now. that means you are an ENEMY! However..... Comanche (10:36 pm): blink, standing up from behind what is left of his cover Time out?! Bernard (10:36 pm): (No, not that one, the one that he did after the suplex) shylarah (10:37 pm): L: how about an exchange? Ash Fox (10:37 pm): Yes. As in, one moment please. Glances around toward Lani I'll tell you why. You people are being too uppish. I don't--Pauses to whip his tail round and deflect Dio, or approximately where Dio's coming from, with the flat of the tail blade--get paid enough for this level of bother. Comanche (10:37 pm): After all that... smartass punk... not likely to fire anymore shots though due to the fact he knows they are not effective and thus a waste shylarah (10:37 pm): L: <tell me if you guys have a problem> Contrast (10:37 pm): C: You're giving up? Frosty (10:37 pm): F: <Don't offer him something right now, %%## it!> shylarah (10:37 pm): L: Well, guess what. We don't /care/ what you get paid! shylarah (10:38 pm): L: <his life, Frosty. If he helps....US> Dio Cheysa (10:38 pm): I have a problem! A serious problem! It begins with HIM and ends with DYING! snort, snarl Ash Fox (10:38 pm): Well I do care what I get paid, and you people are too much bother. And I know I have something you want, so here... shylarah (10:38 pm): L: Note how much she cares about your pay.... Contrast (10:38 pm): (Dio: I HAVE A FEVER! AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS KILLING ASH!) Comanche (10:38 pm): ~This is too easy.~ shylarah (10:38 pm): L: ...your death also solves that problem. flatly Ash Fox (10:38 pm): Throws something small and card shaped into the air Fetch! Dio Cheysa (10:39 pm): (hee hee XD) Contrast (10:39 pm): C: ! Bernard (10:39 pm): F: goes to catch it! shylarah (10:39 pm): L: <don't turn away!> Comanche (10:39 pm): Why are you giving up when you could finish us so eas-! catch! Ash Fox (10:39 pm): Smirks Oh? Sorry to disappoint you my dear, but Ash Fox does not die so easily. Dio Cheysa (10:39 pm): (lol) Dio Cheysa (10:39 pm): (I see what's coming) Dio Cheysa (10:39 pm): (and a loooot more blood) Frosty (10:39 pm): F: aiming at Ash shylarah (10:39 pm): L: ...We're hurting you. and you are not doing so well at your job. shylarah (10:40 pm): L: I propose a /real/ trade. Contrast (10:40 pm): It's a keycard, labelled "Security Center" Ash Fox (10:40 pm): Hahaha. Don't get me wrong. If I was paid more I'd put in more effort. Dio Cheysa (10:40 pm): (...whut) Dio Cheysa (10:40 pm): (I was TOTALLY expecting the following: ) Ash Fox (10:40 pm): But I'm not, so I won't. Frosty (10:40 pm): F: <Then you do whatever the $%@ you want. When you get the rest of us killed trying to pick an unnecessary fight, you'll learn.> Dio Cheysa* (10:40 pm): (Ash: throws card Catch!) Contrast (10:40 pm): C: not far from Faust, he glances at that, and then at the door they couldn't enter before) Dio Cheysa* (10:40 pm): (Guys: catch!) Dio Cheysa (10:41 pm): (Card: lol paper that is blank) shylarah (10:41 pm): L: I know. However,....we /aren't/ being paid anything. <one of you get going> Dio Cheysa (10:41 pm): (Ash: By the way... I can CONTROL PAPER!) Frosty (10:41 pm): (lolz) Dio Cheysa (10:41 pm): (Card: papercuts aplenty!) Contrast (10:41 pm): (READ OR DIE) Ash Fox (10:41 pm): (LOL I totally should have done that! XD) Contrast (10:41 pm): (<3) Ash Fox (10:41 pm): (Next time >:3) Bernard (10:41 pm): F: We've taken too much time here, we need to move now! heads for the door Bernard (10:41 pm): (Hehehe) Ash Fox (10:41 pm): It was fun tango-ing with you though. Dio Cheysa (10:41 pm): (totally was expecting it too! But D= no more blood for Dio) Ash Fox (10:42 pm): I'll be going now. shylarah (10:42 pm): L: and several of us are mad. <Shhh! I'm trying to get him....on /our/ side.> Comanche (10:42 pm): Yeah! follows Faust, moving to the door to the security center Yeah, some other time! Frosty (10:42 pm): F: <You're wasting time and you're going to get all of us and Numl killed. If he attacks us, we'll fight him. If he leaves, shut up and let him leave!> Contrast (10:42 pm): C: watches him leave, tense Ash Fox (10:42 pm): Punches his hand to his shoulder as though saluting... and a ring of energy forms at his feet, crackles up his body and he vanishes into thin air Contrast (10:42 pm): The exit would be far to the south... shylarah (10:42 pm): L: anywhere you go, I can follow. one hand out I have your signature, now. It might take me a while, but I /will/ find you. Contrast (10:43 pm): (So she can also track everyone? << ) Frosty (10:43 pm): (...come on. Shy.) shylarah (10:43 pm): L: <And when I do, you are /dead/....> shylarah (10:43 pm): ((....no.)) Dio Cheysa (10:43 pm): is anyone holding back Dio? She makes another dive at Ash, snapping her teeth at approximately where his crotch was, but he's gone before she connects Ash Fox (10:43 pm): Apparently he went somewhere untraceable... shylarah (10:43 pm): ((she bluffs. A lot)) Dio Cheysa (10:43 pm): and she's making horrible grunting and snorting noises, she is not in the best of tempers Frosty (10:43 pm): (she's bluffing to thin air?) shylarah (10:44 pm): (but she still sent that to him, and by MFW rules, it has a good range)) Ash Fox (10:44 pm): (Hee) Ash Fox (10:44 pm): (It's fun being bad ) shylarah (10:44 pm): ((....she's angry, and upset, and not quite rational. And later on, she may very well try to track him down, using more conventonal methods)) Bernard (10:45 pm): (We've kinda been over this before, how your characters can do a lot of stuff c_c) shylarah (10:45 pm): (....she can't.)) Comanche (10:45 pm): (Let's not get ooc here) Ash Fox (10:45 pm): (Come now guys, let's just continue having fun :3) shylarah (10:45 pm): ((....Lani is mostly bluff. And illusion.)) Comanche (10:45 pm): (too ooc) Frosty* (10:45 pm): (we'll talk about this later.) shylarah (10:45 pm): L: fuming Comanche (10:45 pm): Calm the $%@ down Dio, we have what we want. shylarah* (10:45 pm): L: cancels the illusions Ash Fox (10:46 pm): And yes, it seems that was indeed a perfectly legitimate security card. But dang if the room they're in currently isn't a royal mess after all that Contrast (10:46 pm): C: ... alright, he's done. Comanche (10:46 pm): So right, to the security room Contrast (10:46 pm): C: ... Let's go! Frosty (10:47 pm): F: heads to the security door Contrast (10:47 pm): C: heads over - the door opens automatically when Faust comes in range Bernard (10:48 pm): F: heads on through! He discarded the pickaxe in favor of the extinguisher Dio Cheysa (10:48 pm): she's angry, upset, and not quite rational Shut up! Must kill! Frosty (10:48 pm): F: not that much better than Dio, he just barges in and fires at the first living thing he sees Contrast (10:48 pm): Nobody's in the security center - just controls shylarah (10:49 pm): L: hangs back ~curse it....~ Dio Cheysa (10:49 pm): hmm...berserker rage, and she just lost any viable targets except for the OTHER PLAYERS Contrast (10:49 pm): C: keeps his distance from Dio O____o... Contrast (10:50 pm): (lol this team is so dysfunctional compared to the THS family) Frosty (10:50 pm): (XD) Comanche (10:50 pm): looking at the various cameras (XD) Frosty (10:50 pm): (Yeah. -this- is why I denied anyone calling Frosty a gunfox) Frosty (10:50 pm): (He has no idea what he's doing and he's going to feel horrible tomorrow.) Frosty (10:51 pm): ('course, there's more to it... Comanche (10:51 pm): or rather looking at various video screens to see if they are camera monitors shylarah (10:51 pm): ((^^)) Contrast (10:51 pm): Whoever among the group is the best at working with computers could quickly figure out how to unlock the door to where Numl is Frosty (10:52 pm): F: already looking for said unlock, he hits it, and just runs out of the room Come on! Bernard (10:52 pm): F: he hangs back, he hasn't even so much as touched one before Bernard (10:52 pm): F: heads out too! shylarah (10:52 pm): L: already on her way Dio Cheysa (10:53 pm): would probably just hack it to pieces anyway, so it's good she didn't go into that enclosed space right now Contrast (10:53 pm): everyone else heads for the room outside where Numl is - Contrast hangs back for a moment Contrast (10:53 pm): That least her and Dio in the room alone Contrast (10:53 pm): C: Dio! Comanche (10:53 pm): also running to the room where Numl is Contrast (10:54 pm): The door's unlocked, and slides open when they approach shylarah (10:54 pm): Lani: in the room by as direct a route as possible Dio Cheysa (10:54 pm): DIE! aims her halberd at Contrast and tries to whack at him with it Contrast (10:54 pm): C: jumps back Knock it off! shylarah (10:54 pm): L: invisible, and phased out, soo the door might give her some trouble, if she needs to use it.* Comanche (10:55 pm): runs inside the room, aiming his weapon around Contrast (10:55 pm): There's... nothing in here Frosty (10:55 pm): F: right with Comanche, gun raised Frosty (10:55 pm): F: ...! shylarah (10:55 pm): L: tries to call numl <Numl!!> Contrast (10:55 pm): And it appears to be a dead end at first, as well Comanche (10:55 pm): What the $%@! Contrast* (10:55 pm): N: < > shylarah (10:56 pm): L: < where are you?!> Frosty (10:56 pm): F: ...Wait. Why would they secure an empty...nothing? pushes at the walls, listening for a hollow sound or feeling for a portal shylarah (10:56 pm): L: <if you can't tell me, just keep sending....we'll try to find you that way!> Contrast (10:56 pm): The floor's tile. ... a nearby large shelf has scratches on the ground near it, like it gets slide around a lot shylarah (10:56 pm): L: He's here! half distracted Frosty (10:57 pm): F: gets to the shelf, and just shoves it, hard Comanche (10:57 pm): move over the shelf and try to move it as well Contrast (10:57 pm): It moves! shylarah (10:57 pm): L: looks <Numl, we're coming. Hold on.> shylarah (10:57 pm): L: follow Dio Cheysa (10:57 pm): I'll knock YOU off! Contrast (10:58 pm): (C: =3) Contrast (10:58 pm): N: < > apparently not awake Dio Cheysa (10:58 pm): makes to tackle Contrast Contrast (10:58 pm): Behind it is a stony staircase, leading down Comanche (10:58 pm): (XDXD) shylarah (10:58 pm): L: <wait, where's Dio?!> to the others Bernard (10:59 pm): F: heads down it Contrast (10:59 pm): C: tackled! but he spreads his arms out as he does, trying to pin her arms to her sides in a tight squeeze shylarah (10:59 pm): L: <She'd be charging in there....but she's not.> Comanche (10:59 pm): <Beats me, probably looking to kill something> Frosty (10:59 pm): F: <Find her, then!> runs down the stairs shylarah (10:59 pm): L: <....everyone else is here, though, right?> Contrast (10:59 pm): (Cinder's BRB for the bathroom. I'mma wait on him) shylarah (10:59 pm): L: <....fine.> backtrack Comanche (11:00 pm): also races down the stairs shylarah (11:00 pm): ((...I'mma do the same, actually...sorry.)) Contrast (11:00 pm): (He's back) Dio Cheysa (11:00 pm): pinned! Snarling and trying to bite as her tail slaps at him Kill! Rage! Death!...Fury... Ash Fox (11:00 pm): (No apology needed for using the loo lolz) Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): (as long as you use the loo and not HERE!!) Comanche (11:01 pm): (lolz) Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): (I think that was both a relevant and necessary observation!) Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): (and afk for a bit) Contrast (11:02 pm): (For a bit? Hmm) Dio Cheysa (11:02 pm): (err - well) Contrast (11:02 pm): (Shy, you may want to have Lani join the group) Dio Cheysa (11:02 pm): she's already slowing down Dio Cheysa (11:02 pm): she isn't smelling blood anymore and she's starting to get torpid Contrast (11:02 pm): Those that rushed down the stairs emerge into a large chamber Comanche (11:04 pm): looking around the chamber Where are they... Contrast (11:04 pm): On a second platform, unreachable to them from where they are... is Duvesa, being a slim, green-furred female fox Contrast (11:04 pm): Numl is tied to a ladder that's leaning away from their platform, held back only by a rope that Duveas is holding Contrast (11:05 pm): If she let go, the ladder would fall forward - and Numl would go face first into a deep, open fire pit Frosty (11:05 pm): F: Numl! Comanche (11:05 pm): ...stop right there! You're under arrest for kidnapping and murde! Frosty (11:05 pm): F: ~...is he serious?~ Contrast (11:05 pm): N: He's awake, but he looks... dazed. He glances at Frosty like he doesn't recognize her Contrast (11:05 pm): D: ... Dio Cheysa (11:05 pm): (okay, going afk - Dio can be asleep whenever you want to move Contrast, although he'll have a hunk of sharkgirl lying on top of him :P not a problem with his enhanced strength, but still XP) Contrast (11:06 pm): D: Nomatter what I do, this is the end of the line for me. Comanche (11:06 pm): needed to say it as she IS a murder and kidnapping suspect with a warrant out for her arrest XP Bernard (11:06 pm): F: looks up at the situation ... Contrast (11:06 pm): (her? him) Contrast* (11:06 pm): (Alright =D) Contrast (11:06 pm): (@ terg) Contrast (11:07 pm): C: holds her until she passes out, then pushes her off of him Psycho... shylarah (11:08 pm): ((re)) shylarah (11:08 pm): L; with group shylarah (11:08 pm): ((...frosty's a guy.(( Frosty (11:09 pm): (hence "(her? him)") Comanche* (11:09 pm): Well now don't say that. Maybe we can work out something... shylarah (11:09 pm): ((didn't see that part. sorry.)) Comanche (11:09 pm): There is no reason to kill you or harm the boy... Contrast (11:09 pm): D: Boy? Contrast (11:09 pm): D: she shakes her head This is no boy. This is a monster. shylarah (11:09 pm): ((what's under the platform?!)) Frosty (11:10 pm): (Fire.) Comanche (11:10 pm): Why? Explain it. Contrast (11:10 pm): (Yeah, if she lets go of the rope that holds the ladder back, Numl's gonna fry) shylarah (11:10 pm): L: ghosts over to the platform, and tries to wake Numl up <Numl! Numl, please -- wake up....> Contrast (11:11 pm): D: This "boy" you know as Numl is not Numl at all. He - it - is Trifecta. Bernard (11:11 pm): F: walks closer to the platform, looking up at Duvesa You're going to torture an innocent child because of your myths! Comanche (11:11 pm): Trifecta? Let's hear this explanation... shylarah (11:13 pm): L: <Numl, Trifecta, whomever. Friend! wake up. I don't want to lose another that I care about!> to Numl only Contrast (11:13 pm): N: earperk at Trifecta, responding to it more than Numl Nngh... Contrast (11:13 pm): N: >< shylarah (11:14 pm): L: <Shhh.....stay quiet. We're going to get you out of here, somehow. Do you remember me?> Contrast (11:14 pm): N: <I... did something... bad...> Comanche (11:16 pm): If you talk this through ma'am, maybe we can find some kind of common ground. Contrast (11:16 pm): D: I could see the end of the all of you now... I could melt this whole chamber down with magic. But I won't. In fact... she's wearing three medallions - like what Roy and the hotel-attacking lizard had... in fact, the two that aren't her own are theirs, taken from them after their deaths shylarah (11:16 pm): L: <I don't care what you did. That doesn't matter to me at all. Friends are....more important than what might have been done. Do you remember me, Numl?> Contrast (11:16 pm): D: she removes the necklaces, and instead of using their magic, tosses them into the fire pit shylarah (11:17 pm): L: noticed, and is trying to keep that anger back Contrast (11:17 pm): N: <it hurts> shylarah (11:17 pm): L: <what hurts? Tell me.> Comanche (11:17 pm): ...what are you doing? Contrast (11:17 pm): N: <just repeats the phrase> Contrast (11:18 pm): D: I don't need those things anymore. ... today, I'm giving my live to see tne end of Trifecta. she lets go of the rope... Contrast (11:18 pm): N: ... and the ladder doesn't fall, held in place by some force invisible to the naked eye shylarah (11:18 pm): L: NO! phases in and grabs, barely catching the rope Contrast (11:18 pm): D: ...? Comanche (11:19 pm): Wha-? Contrast (11:19 pm): (There is no need for that, Shy <___< ) shylarah (11:19 pm): L: also visible, now shylarah (11:19 pm): ((..she did it anyhow, and she'll be confused, but....she thought it would be.)) shylarah (11:19 pm): L: Numl? Frosty (11:19 pm): F: opens fire on Duvesa Contrast (11:19 pm): (You kind of break flow when you have characters react faster than I can tell the story or explain what happens) Contrast (11:19 pm): (c_c) shylarah (11:20 pm): ((....I'm sorry...)) Contrast (11:20 pm): D: hit - she falls backward, out of view on her high platform Comanche (11:20 pm): also fired on Duvesa, aiming non fatal shots at her as she let go Contrast (11:20 pm): N: eyes open... and they're black, with red pupils Bernard (11:20 pm): F: looking up at Numl, eyes widened Frosty (11:20 pm): there's no need to not do it, however. she's not going to affect anything with her presence, right? she could have panic-reacted before the fact that hte ladder didn't fall registered.) Frosty* (11:21 pm): F: Numl... ...what? shylarah (11:21 pm): L: <Trifecta! listen to me!> shylarah (11:21 pm): ((yeah, exactly)) Comanche (11:21 pm): (Yeah @ SX) Contrast (11:21 pm): T?: A sort of black, cold fire starts to smolder around him, enveloping him Dio Cheysa (11:21 pm): (back) shylarah (11:21 pm): L: <Please, come back!> Contrast (11:22 pm): T: The ropes are burned away by it, and the ladder falls off of him, into the fire pit - "Numl" remains floating, all the ground fur on him turning black... and he talks a more adult size and shape shylarah (11:22 pm): L: <who will give me a name, now?> shylarah (11:22 pm): L: backs away, but moves to where she can be seen Contrast (11:23 pm): T: In Numl's place is a adult looking fox with black fur and white highlights, black and red eyes, and the same three large tails Frosty (11:23 pm): F: What the... ... Dio Cheysa (11:23 pm): snoring quietly now as she sleeps - totally unbothered by being shoved off, although this gives Contrast the opportunity to utilize her DNA! Contrast (11:23 pm): T: he looks down at the group, like they're strangers ... Contrast (11:24 pm): C: does Bernard (11:24 pm): F: ...who are you? to the thing Comanche (11:24 pm): Uh, hi. Contrast (11:24 pm): C: And whatever part of the brain that makes people super-ragey, he tries to dumb it down a little shylarah (11:24 pm): L: <oh, Numl....> eyes start to mist up Contrast (11:24 pm): T: ... Trifecta... his voice is much deeper than Numl's, and has a sort of echoing quality, like a ghost speaking shylarah (11:25 pm): L: <trifecta? then...who am I...?> Dio Cheysa (11:25 pm): I was thinking using her sharky DNA to become SharContrast!!!! but that works too Frosty (11:25 pm): (what is Lani on about @ who am I, who will give me a name) shylarah (11:26 pm): L: <you gave me a name. Or rather, Numl did...> looks down <If he is no longer here, then -- I no longer have a name> Contrast (11:26 pm): T: he holds out a hand, toward a wall - and something explodes from the side of it, flying into his hand; it's a huge blade of some kind, but not a sword - it looks more like a great knife shylarah (11:26 pm): ((...when she encountered numl the first time at length, he chose her name.)) Comanche (11:26 pm): Uh, nice weapon there... ~Tactical retreat may work better...~ shylarah (11:26 pm): ((she doesn't know her real name.)) Contrast (11:27 pm): T: turns around, in mid-air, slowly, facing Duvesa, who they can't see - he floats to the platform and lands on it, walking towards her and out of view of the people below shylarah (11:27 pm): ((initially, it was in a bid to get him to remember something.)) Bernard (11:27 pm): (I'm loving Comanche's dialogue throughout this entire night) Contrast (11:27 pm): D: ... do you see, now, what I have tried to stop! shoting past Trifecta Bernard (11:27 pm): (<3) Contrast (11:28 pm): D: Do you still call it a myth! shylarah (11:28 pm): L: drifts after him What? what did you try to stop? Had you left him be, had you not taken him, he would still be who he was! Comanche (11:28 pm): What is he doing now... don't harm her Numl, you have nothing to gain by it! Bernard (11:28 pm): F: takes a few steps backward ... Frosty (11:28 pm): F: Commie, don't... Contrast (11:28 pm): D: Had I let him be, it would be- Comanche (11:28 pm): I Comanche (11:28 pm): (oops) shylarah (11:28 pm): L: What?! Comanche (11:28 pm): I'm not gonna shoot him, not trigger happy like you after all Contrast (11:29 pm): T: raises the knife - they can see it over the edge of the platform, as it comes up Contrast (11:29 pm): T: he wields it like its weightless Frosty (11:29 pm): F: Not what I meant. Dio Cheysa (11:29 pm): (Duvesa: Had I let him be, it would have been-) shylarah (11:29 pm): L: Numl, no! moves in front of him again Contrast (11:29 pm): D: This is the end o- Dio Cheysa (11:29 pm): (Comanche: eyes flash with firey light I...it would have been I...) shylarah (11:29 pm): phases in shylarah (11:29 pm): ((?)) Comanche (11:29 pm): (doesnt get it) Dio Cheysa (11:30 pm): (just taking advantage of the timing of your mis-enter :P ) Comanche (11:30 pm): (ohhh XDXD) Contrast (11:31 pm): The knife falls, hard, toward Duvesa - if Lani doesn't move, it's going through her Contrast (11:31 pm): The people below don't see Duvesa get cleaved - they just see a splash of blood fly straight up, splatting over a wall shylarah (11:32 pm): L: it does Trifecta -- <Numl...> phases out without meaning to Comanche (11:32 pm): ...%%##. shylarah (11:32 pm): some of it is black Comanche (11:33 pm): ("Whats this?" "Black blood of the Earth?" "You mean oil?" "No, I mean black blood of the Earth!") shylarah (11:33 pm): ((?)) Comanche (11:33 pm): What was that...? Comanche (11:33 pm): (Big Trouble in Little China) Frosty (11:33 pm): (That movie was hilarious) Contrast (11:34 pm): Moments later, something between Trifectra and Numl stumbles backward, the black color fading - he's still gripping the now-bloody Great Knife as he falls, landing with a thud beside the firre pit Contrast (11:34 pm): (fire) Contrast* (11:34 pm): The sword makes a clang on the stony floor Comanche (11:34 pm): ...this just keeps getting weirder. Contrast?! walk up to him Contrast (11:35 pm): But he never lets go of it... Contrast (11:35 pm): (Contrast isn't there) Comanche (11:35 pm): (Oh, nvm, misread that) shylarah (11:35 pm): L: on her knees Frosty (11:36 pm): F: just kneels, looking unsure ~What the $%@...~ Frosty* (11:36 pm): F: reload What's going on over there? shylarah (11:36 pm): L: <Numl?> Contrast (11:37 pm): T/N: staring up at the ceiling, dazed but conscious shylarah (11:37 pm): ((he fell off the platform? or....nvm.)) Comanche (11:38 pm): walk over to whatever or whoever fell on the floor, blinking Contrast (11:38 pm): N: <H-help...> Contrast (11:39 pm): N: more Numl than Trifecta, now, tears start streaming from his eyes, with a pained expression shylarah (11:39 pm): L: forces herself to move down towards where he is Bernard (11:39 pm): F: approaches, hesitantly, kneeling by Numl on one side It's over now... Frosty (11:39 pm): F: looking for where or how Duvesa got to the second platform, now Frosty (11:40 pm): (oh, wait, I didn't picture N/T as accessible @o) shylarah (11:40 pm): L: phased-out, her blood doesn't really leave stains, it just sorta floats away into non-existance Frosty (11:40 pm): F: heads to Numl, then, quickly Contrast (11:40 pm): On closer inspection, there's missing bricks that form a sort of ladder on one of the side walls shylarah (11:40 pm): L: <Numl.....are you back? Is it you?> Comanche (11:40 pm): ...Lanio, you're hurt. Contrast (11:41 pm): N: Doesn't appear to be hurt at all, by the way Contrast (11:41 pm): N: W-what am I... Ash Fox (11:41 pm): (Lani: Suddenly Spanish?) shylarah (11:41 pm): L: Can't...phase in right now....doesn't matter... Dio Cheysa (11:41 pm): wakes up ... Comanche (11:41 pm): (XD Lani) Dio Cheysa (11:41 pm): Floor is cold. Dio Cheysa (11:41 pm): holds one arm straight up into the air Dio Cheysa (11:41 pm): and holds up a finger Dio Cheysa (11:42 pm): Bartender! Bernard (11:42 pm): F: You're you...you're not that thing, you're Numl. Contrast (11:42 pm): C: was just about to leave and head for the other group, he looks at Dio shylarah (11:42 pm): L: <Numl...?> Dio Cheysa (11:42 pm): I require meat! Contrast (11:42 pm): N: I-I, she, she was right, she... Contrast (11:42 pm): C: Wrong cold floor. Dio Cheysa (11:42 pm): ...oh. shylarah (11:42 pm): L: <No. don't say that.> Bernard (11:43 pm): F: She was wrong...that thing is not you. Contrast (11:43 pm): N: I'm a monster! Dio Cheysa (11:43 pm): picks herself up, slowly Ow...headache...or did she just say "haddock"? shylarah (11:43 pm): L: <No you're not!> Frosty (11:43 pm): F: just picks him up, sitting on the floor Numl... Comanche (11:43 pm): No... it was just a spell or something she put on you Numl or something. doesnt know if that's the case but obviously doesn't want Numl to feel bad Contrast (11:44 pm): N: still holding the knife in a death-grip, he buries his face in Frosty's chest, sobbing Frosty (11:44 pm): F: doesn't say anything, just holds him there ... shylarah (11:45 pm): L: <anyone with enough of a conscience to feel the pain for something that was done is never a monster....> Dio Cheysa (11:45 pm): So, what happened? Contrast (11:45 pm): N: You... went totally berserk. Contrast (11:45 pm): (C* thaT) Contrast (11:46 pm): C: I, I held you still for a bit and you eventually just passed out. Dio Cheysa (11:46 pm): Oh. sighs a little - she still seems tired, but she's not trying to kill Contrast, so it's an improvement Bloodrage. Smell blood, it turns on. Frosty (11:47 pm): (F: -I- went berserk?!) shylarah (11:47 pm): ((...heehee)) Frosty (11:47 pm): (F: Well, yeah, but...!) Contrast (11:48 pm): N: doesn't seem to be calming down, he grabs Frosty's shirt with his free hand H-help me... Contrast (11:48 pm): N: I don't want this... Comanche (11:49 pm): ...hey, where are Contrast and Dio... suddenly goes back up the stairs to try and find them Frosty (11:50 pm): F: I'll help you, Numl, you're... Frosty (11:50 pm): F: You're Numl. shylarah (11:50 pm): L: floating a few feet above the floor, pressing her hands against where she was injured <What don't you want, Numl?> Contrast (11:51 pm): N: in response to Lani, but also as a general request G-get us out of here... Comanche (11:51 pm): walks up to the security center Contrast (11:51 pm): C: Commanche! Contrast (11:51 pm): C: ... you okay? Where's Numl? shylarah (11:51 pm): L: <That sounds like a good idea to me....> Bernard (11:51 pm): F: We're leaving now...let's not stay any longer. stands Frosty (11:52 pm): F: Stands, holding Numl It's okay, Numl. You'll never see this horrible place again. Contrast (11:53 pm): N: squirms, to stand up - he looks at the knife, uneasily, but he can't seem to decide to put it down... shylarah (11:53 pm): L: <....Numl? Can I ask you something...?> quickly adds <no, don't look, not right now> (if he turns to look, but only if) Frosty (11:53 pm): F: Go ahead, Numl... Contrast (11:53 pm): N: He still holds it like it's only a little heavy, others would be very strained by its weight ... Contrast (11:53 pm): N: I-I can't put it down... Comanche (11:53 pm): Yeah I'm fine... Numl... explain Contrast (11:54 pm): C: ... frowns, looks at Dio after the explanation Dio Cheysa (11:54 pm): Let's go help him! Bernard (11:54 pm): F: ... takes a little breath, and reaches for the knife Give it here... shylarah (11:54 pm): L: is hanging back a little now Contrast (11:55 pm): N: holds it out to Faust, but pulls it back before he takes it I can't... Comanche (11:55 pm): The fight's over. We're just trying to pull ourselves together to leave I think Frosty (11:55 pm): F: It's alright, Numl. Take your time. Bernard (11:55 pm): F: Yes you can...you don't need that. gently shylarah (11:55 pm): L: <...why not?> Contrast (11:55 pm): N: uneasy I, it's... it's mine... Contrast (11:55 pm): C: Aren't you scared of ghosts and demons and such? Frosty (11:56 pm): F: It isn't Numl's. Contrast (11:56 pm): C: ~Apparently Numl is one, or... is possessed by one, or something.~ Frosty (11:56 pm): F: You can...you can leave that behind you. Bernard (11:56 pm): F: ...The Numl I knew would never wield such a thing. nods at Frosty Dio Cheysa (11:56 pm): snorts I am not scared by stories! I only believe what I see! Contrast (11:56 pm): N: shakes his head Bernard (11:56 pm): F: reaches for it again, but doesn't grab it, just moves his hands toward it Comanche (11:57 pm): Well, let's head over there at any rate. shylarah (11:57 pm): L: ~oh, Numl....what I wouldn't give to be able to do something right now. shylarah (11:57 pm): ~ Contrast (11:57 pm): N: doesn't pull it away this time ... Bernard (11:58 pm): F: puts his hands on it, and tries to pull it away Frosty (11:58 pm): F: holding Numl We're here for you, Numl. Take your time... Contrast (11:58 pm): N: Numl lets go, and it clangs to the ground when it proves too heavy for Faust to hold onto it with a much firmer grip than he had shylarah (11:59 pm): L: <Numl, can you listen to me, for a moment?> Bernard (11:59 pm): F: indeed drops it There... Contrast (11:59 pm): N: <...?> Contrast (11:59 pm): N: looking at it, he's fixated on it Bernard (11:59 pm): F: moves in between Numl and the knife Now, we can go home. Contrast (12:00 am): N: I-I'm taking it with me. I have to. shylarah (12:00 am): L: braces herself, moving so that Numl can see her but not her injury <Numl....remember the first time we talked?> Contrast (12:00 am): N: looks at her <Uh-huh...> Bernard (12:01 am): F: You don't need that worthless piece of metal. Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): arrives there with the others - Numl is still semi-grown-up? Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): (yowdy there ^^) Ash Fox (12:01 am): (ARI) Triiktec (12:01 am): (hello ^Y^ ) Comanche (12:01 am): walks back down there as well Ash Fox (12:01 am): (Ari-pile! ) shylarah (12:01 am): L: to the others <I'm going to talk to him...just slowly work your way to the exit....I'll try to keep him distracted...> Bernard (12:01 am): (pile) shylarah (12:01 am): L: to Numl Contrast (12:02 am): N: he looks just a little begger than others Triiktec (12:02 am): (o0;; Ari-pile'd! XD; ) Dio Cheysa (12:02 am): (piled already) Contrast (12:02 am): (er, than normal, sorry) Frosty (12:02 am): (pounce) Comanche (12:02 am): (pile) Ash Fox (12:02 am): (X3) Frosty (12:02 am): F: <I'm staying.> shylarah (12:02 am): L: <You gave me something, that day....Something that means a great deal to me....> Comanche (12:02 am): <If you think you can Lani...> start to head towards the exit Frosty (12:02 am): F: <I'm not going to let him go.> Contrast (12:02 am): (A little taller and his eyes, instead of their normal golden color, are somewhere between yellow and red instead) shylarah (12:03 am): ((.....she means with numl!)) Contrast (12:03 am): N: <Your... name, r-right?> Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): looks at the whole situation ...bah, people always making things harder than they have to be. shylarah (12:03 am): ((like, move towards the exit with numl, while she's talking to him)) Frosty (12:03 am): (...that was a little silly) Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): walks toward Numl with intent to grab her Frosty (12:03 am): F: No, Dio. Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): err him Triiktec (12:03 am): (and pounced! late^^; ) Ash Fox (12:03 am): (Numl: Suddenly a girl ...D:! ) Comanche (12:04 am): (XD) Ash Fox (12:04 am): (Smacked) Triiktec (12:04 am): (sorry about falling behind in save log stuffs, btw @.@; Trying to get caught up with that by sometime tonight/tomorrow ) shylarah (12:04 am): L: <Yes. ((what, again?!)) And....I have treasured it.... > Comanche (12:07 am): (Test) Dio Cheysa (12:07 am): Why not? Simple, and we do not have time before more enemies arrive. shylarah (12:08 am): L: there are no more enemies here, Dio. Contrast (12:08 am): N: ... I need that knife... moves toward it, trying to get the handle Bernard (12:08 am): F: I don't think anyone else will bother, Dio... Frosty (12:08 am): F: No you don't, Numl. Frosty (12:08 am): F: tries to hold him Bernard (12:08 am): F: staying between Numl and the knife Don't, Numl. shylarah (12:08 am): L: <....what does it do for you, Numl?> Dio Cheysa (12:09 am): No more enemies? Bah, did I slay that many in my bloodrage? Contrast (12:10 am): N: struggles Contrast (12:10 am): C: You didn't slay anyone. Ash Fox (12:10 am): (I think I'll retire for the night, I don't believe there's anything more Ash is needed for currently. Rest assured though he'll be back again another time to cause more bother ) Dio Cheysa (12:10 am): ...how disappointing. Frosty (12:10 am): F: Numl, wait. Comanche (12:11 am): I'm sure there are faceless back home waiting for you Dio... shylarah (12:11 am): L: Numl.....why...? Contrast (12:11 am): N: I-it's mine... Frosty (12:12 am): F: It's not Numl's. Ash Fox (12:12 am): ('night folks Â¦3) shylarah (12:12 am): L: ....if it is left, can it be used to hurt you? shylarah (12:12 am): ((jaa ne!) Contrast (12:12 am): N: S-same person. Ash Fox (12:13 am): (Oyasumi ;p) Frosty (12:13 am): F: shake head You don't want this. Frosty (12:13 am): (G'nmight) Contrast (12:13 am): N: holds out his hand, toward the handle, reflexively... and it slides acrossed the floor, toward him Comanche (12:14 am): (oo) Triiktec (12:14 am): (oYo ) shylarah (12:14 am): ((there are people between him and the knife!!!)) Triiktec (12:14 am): (weba ) Bernard (12:14 am): F: Numl, no...! tries to step on it, to stop it Triiktec (12:14 am): (weba) Contrast (12:14 am): N: grits his teeth, tearing up a little Just let me have it so we can go home! shylarah (12:15 am): ((weeba)) shylarah (12:15 am): L: Numl, why must you have it? shylarah (12:15 am): L: very gently Frosty (12:15 am): F: Numl...you're not that demon. You don't have to be. Contrast (12:16 am): N: Please... I don't want it but I have to... Frosty (12:17 am): F: You can fight it, Numl. You can stop it. shylarah (12:18 am): L: ....I know that feeling. For now, let him take it...starting to sound weaker, despite trying hard not to Dio Cheysa (12:18 am): Can we just give boy his new toy so we can go home? Perhaps I can teach him to use it properly. shylarah (12:18 am): L: Or he won't leave here....figure out what to do with it....later.... Frosty (12:20 am): F: shake head He...you need to...leave this. shylarah (12:20 am): L: ....I -- I'm going to have to go ahead....I-if anyone wants me, I'll be...where I normally am.....I can't wait any longer.....don't have....enough time.... shylarah (12:21 am): L: grimace and turn to go Comanche (12:21 am): Lani? Hey... Follow her Will you be alright? Frosty (12:22 am): F: Numl, hey...talk to me for a second, alright? Contrast (12:23 am): N: nods, stops straining for the sword, looking down ... shylarah (12:24 am): L: moving pretty fast don't...know....but physical treatment cannot help me, right now....I have to get back.... Frosty (12:24 am): F: You...you want to be Numl. Frosty (12:24 am): F: Right? Contrast (12:24 am): N: confused, like... like he doesn't know how to answer Contrast (12:25 am): N: I... I am, but... Frosty (12:25 am): F: Take your time, focus...quietly Comanche (12:25 am): ....you'll be safe right? shylarah (12:25 am): L: whisper don't know....vanish through portal Comanche (12:26 am): ... Frosty (12:28 am): F: You're safe now, Numl. You don't need that. Comanche (12:28 am): walk back to the others Contrast (12:30 am): N: It... hurts... to be too far away >< Dio Cheysa (12:30 am): Cobalt: meanwhile? She's been at the hotel Dio Cheysa (12:30 am): Cobalt: and guess who she's been hiding from? Frosty (12:31 am): F: ~If he keeps that knife...he'll be this...that thing, forever.~ Dio Cheysa (12:31 am): Ryan: stalking the hotel shylarah (12:31 am): (faceless? or staff?)) Frosty (12:31 am): E: in the cafe ... shylarah (12:31 am): L: hurries back, as quickly as she can, heading for the garden. shylarah (12:32 am): L: invisible, because she doesn't want to have to deal with anyone right now Dio Cheysa (12:32 am): Ryan: guess that should answer that question... Contrast (12:32 am): N: starts to move to the exit Frosty (12:32 am): F: walks there with him Comanche (12:32 am): waiting by the exit too Contrast (12:32 am): N: relucantly, but he's doing it, forcing himself to Bernard (12:33 am): F: goes along with them There... shylarah (12:33 am): L: weakly <L'abr'ynn...can you....help me....?> Contrast (12:33 am): N: he starts to slow down, after so long, though, wincing Frosty (12:33 am): F: You're going to be alright from now on, Numl. You're...~I'm never going to let that happen again.~ Contrast (12:34 am): N: drops to his knees, then hands I can't...! Frosty (12:36 am): F: kneels by him You can...Numl can. Comanche (12:38 am): (Can people step through the exit/portal then when they want?) shylarah (12:38 am): ((I thought so...)) Contrast (12:40 am): N: tries to move further, but can't - someone's going to have to literally drag him to take him farther, which presumably will put him in worse pain Frosty (12:40 am): F: isn't going to do that just yet ... Comanche (12:41 am): if that's the case, he goes through and back to the hotel Contrast (12:42 am): C: frowns Should we carry him out...? Bernard (12:42 am): F: He's getting more pained, the farther away he is... Frosty (12:44 am): F: ...Let's...just take one thing at a time. sighs ... Frosty (12:44 am): F: Go...go ahead, Numl. Frosty (12:44 am): F: lets him,m go Contrast (12:44 am): N: all of about scrambles for it, snatching the handle ... shylarah (12:45 am): ((...poor numl...)) Comanche (12:45 am): Assuming he is back at the hotel, he's currently heading to his room Frosty (12:45 am): F: ... Frosty (12:46 am): F: C-c'mon, let's go home... Contrast (12:46 am): N: walks quietly, carrying it in one hand with not much difficulty, head down I'm sorry... Bernard (12:47 am): F: ~How are we going to break this?~ Dio Cheysa (12:47 am): Ryan: is in the same hallway as Comanche Bernard (12:47 am): F: goes out with them, putting a hand on his shoulder It's not your fault. Dio Cheysa (12:47 am): Cobalt: is in a closet on that floor, listening at the door Comanche (12:47 am): ....approach him Hey, Ryan! Frosty (12:47 am): F: We'll help you, Numl. follow Frosty (12:48 am): F: ~He...what happened?~ Contrast (12:48 am): N: seems less fixated on the sword now that he's carrying it Frosty (12:49 am): F: leads Numl out of hte portal ... Contrast (12:51 am): N: W-which way is home... Frosty (12:51 am): F: We'll take you there. Contrast (12:53 am): N: heading there... holding a large bloody knife Dio Cheysa (12:53 am): Ryan: ...hey. Contrast (12:53 am): N: at least one person panics, and he flinches at the crY ... Frosty (12:54 am): F: ...Let's just wait in the alley. Connie, can you run home and get your car? Frosty (12:54 am): (actually, come to think of it, wouldn't they have driven) Frosty (12:54 am): (it's a lot faster than walking and I doubt they'd arbitrarily waste time) Contrast (12:54 am): C: I'll pull it around to the front of the alley...* Contrast (12:54 am): C: heads out, and does so shylarah (12:54 am): ((..true. good point)) Bernard (12:54 am): (o.o wouldn't they emerge right by the hotel) Comanche (12:54 am): I need to talk to you about something Contrast (12:55 am): (No, the alley is a bit away) Frosty (12:55 am): (the portal wasn't near the hotel o.o) Bernard (12:55 am): (Oh) Bernard (12:55 am): (I thought it was) Contrast (12:55 am): (We skipped RPing the travel to the alley_ Frosty (12:55 am): F: no matter where the car is, he just stops and sits by Numl Frosty (12:55 am): F: How are you feeling? Are you okay? Contrast (12:56 am): N: leans on a wall and slumps down Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): Ryan: Funny thing. I needed to talk to you, too... Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): Ryan: drops his hood back, and he's...Faceless Bernard (12:56 am): F: sits down somewhere nearby in the alley, giving Frosty and Numl room Comanche (12:57 am): ! quickly draws his pistol and fires Comanche (12:57 am): three times to be exact Dio Cheysa (12:59 am): Ryan: skips frames as he rushes forward, his arms behind him as he leans into a rush - he skips frames to each side of the bullets, and then leaps at Comanche, his "face" opening up into sliverteeth Dio Cheysa (1:00 am): Ryan: but he's suddenly repelled by a hexagonal energy field that flashes in front of Comanche Frosty (1:00 am): F: just holds Numl again ...I'm sorry. shylarah (1:00 am): ((grin)) Dio Cheysa (1:00 am): Ryan: and bounces off, crawling on all fours in a very unnatural way Hsss... Dio Cheysa (1:00 am): Cobalt: pops out of the closet Thought I heard something ugly...now back off! Comanche (1:00 am): leap nack, blinking as the energy appears Die you bastard! Fires several shots at Ryan again Comanche (1:02 am): (back) Dio Cheysa* (1:02 am): Ryan: skittering backward away from the shots, but he's suddenly caught by another field that appears on the other side of him, pinning him Frosty (1:03 am): (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJCS9XxnyOg ) Comanche (1:04 am): once he's pinned... fires away at him Comanche (1:04 am): Thanks Cobalt! Comanche (1:04 am): (ack, lag switch) Contrast (1:04 am): N: hugs back, reuluctantly Contrast (1:04 am): N: >< Dio Cheysa (1:05 am): Ryan: bang bang bang - the bullets penetrate him, and he begins to splat into yellow buttery fluid Dio Cheysa (1:05 am): Cobalt: ...no problem, guy I don't know... Contrast (1:05 am): N: I'm Trifecta... Frosty (1:06 am): F: ...you'll always be Numl to us. Frosty (1:06 am): F: You're better than that, you're... Comanche (1:06 am): Officer Comanche... Bernard (1:06 am): (lmao @ related videos) Bernard (1:06 am): (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI ) Comanche (1:06 am): fires a few extra into Ryan, just to be sure Frosty (1:06 am): (that's a rickroll, isn't it) Bernard (1:07 am): (No~) Frosty (1:07 am): (I recognise the URL.) Contrast (1:07 am): N: It's not just something inside me, I am. Contrast (1:07 am): N: No... Dio Cheysa (1:08 am): Ryan: splort - bit of overkill, since he's definitely melted now Frosty (1:08 am): (rickrolled someone an hour ago, recognises it c_c) Dio Cheysa (1:08 am): Cobalt: ...shudders Dio Cheysa (1:08 am): Cobalt: I knew there was something different about it, but... Dio Cheysa (1:08 am): Cobalt: I didn't expect...them to...do that. Comanche (1:09 am): These things have been a real problem... wonder if Dio is around... Frosty (1:09 am): F: No? Dio Cheysa (1:11 am): Cobalt: sticks her tongue out That creepy lady who was talking about killing? Ugh. Contrast (1:11 am): N: I... Comanche (1:11 am): Yeah, the sharky lady... Contrast (1:11 am): N: hugs Frosty, with one arm, tight Dio Cheysa (1:11 am): Cobalt: I think there's been enough killing as it is...I'm not sure what I think of what I just did now... Frosty (1:11 am): F: just hugs him ... Comanche (1:12 am): He's just one of many of these heartless, souless things. Don't think too deeply about it Contrast (1:12 am): N: starts tearing up, again ~Frosty can't fix this, nobody can...~ Dio Cheysa (1:12 am): Cobalt: But how do you know they're heartless, soulless? They might be just victims of a disease! Dio Cheysa (1:13 am): Cobalt: And they've never done anything like that around me before...harassed me, sure, but never...that face...shudders again Bernard (1:13 am): F: looks at the two, sadly Frosty (1:13 am): F: I'm gonna help you. We all are, Faust and Connie and Commie and Dio... Comanche (1:14 am): We know for sure what they are... they're just monsters Dio Cheysa (1:15 am): Cobalt: How do you know that?! Dio Cheysa (1:15 am): Cobalt: Have you really tried? Frosty (1:15 am): (Commie: Well, he just tried to eat my face. That's a pretty good indicator.) Comanche (1:16 am): ...These things all be elimintated Dio's race if I'm not mistaken. Dio Cheysa (1:16 am): Cobalt: ...her race? What? But she looks like a human. Comanche (1:17 am): Long story sigh Comanche (1:18 am): (Going to bed now, can't keep my eyes open. night) Dio Cheysa (1:18 am): (see ya) Contrast (1:18 am): (sorry) Contrast (1:18 am): (Had to help Cinder with something) Dio Cheysa (1:18 am): claps her hand on Numl's shoulder That is right! Dio Cheysa (1:18 am): We are here for you! Dio Cheysa (1:18 am): And don't you forget that, boy! friendly toothy grin Contrast (1:20 am): N: nods, a little, tearily Contrast (1:20 am): C: oh my I totally forgot Contrast, he pulls up to the alley with his car Frosty (1:21 am): F: C'mon, let's go home. Contrast (1:21 am): N: gets up Frosty (1:21 am): F: walks him to Contrast's car, sitting in teh back with him Bernard (1:22 am): F: walks to the car, calls shotgun Frosty (1:22 am): F: ~I had it all figured out...what happened...?~ Contrast (1:23 am): F: sits in the back, barely finding room for the oversized weapon Frosty (1:24 am): (lolz) Dio Cheysa (1:24 am): Cobalt: ...and he runs off and leaves me, great...what am I supposed to do about this mess? Frosty (1:24 am): (F-names are the new S-names. Move over, B-names.) Frosty (1:25 am): F: ~How do I help something like -this-...?~ Contrast (1:25 am): (=( N) Contrast* (1:25 am): N: leans on Frosty ... Contrast (1:26 am): N: most of the blood has come ovver the weapon in the alleyway Contrast (1:26 am): N: Well, most of it came off in the base, really Contrast (1:26 am): N: but it only has a little on it by now is the point Contrast (1:28 am): C: pulls up to the hotel, later, to a more discreet side-entrance Frosty (1:29 am): F: C'mon, Numl. I'll take you to your room. Dio Cheysa (1:31 am): Cobalt: decides to just leave the mess there Dio Cheysa (1:31 am): Cobalt: and heads off to her room Frosty (1:33 am): F: does just that! Contrast (1:33 am): N: follows Frosty - Contrast stays in the car with Faust Contrast (1:34 am): C: What the $%@? Frosty* (1:34 am): F: once at Numl's room, he remembers the burned-through door ... Frosty (1:34 am): F: ...let's just go down the hall, Numl. My rooms right over there. Contrast (1:34 am): N: follows Frosty, quietly Dio Cheysa (1:34 am): the yellowy remnants might still be found in a hallway Bernard (1:35 am): F: That was horrible. quietly Contrast (1:35 am): C: How much crap does that kid have to go through? Frosty (1:35 am): opens his room, walking in and stepping aside Contrast (1:36 am): N: follows in - and looks for somewhere to put the sword that it won't cause a mess in Bernard (1:37 am): F: He's not going through any more of it. Frosty (1:37 am): F: Just put it on the dresser. Bernard (1:37 am): F: None of us will allow it. Contrast (1:38 am): N: does, and lets go of it, comfortable with doing so Frosty (1:39 am): F: ...you...make yourself at home here, Numl. Contrast (1:41 am): N: hugs Frosty tight as soon as he says that Frosty (1:42 am): F: hug ... Contrast (1:42 am): N: This isn't fair... Frosty (1:43 am): F: nods, faintly ~...~ Frosty (1:45 am): F: ~What did I do today...?~ Contrast (1:45 am): C: ... can we even do anything else about this? shylarah (1:45 am): ((is still here)) Contrast (1:45 am): C: The kid's apparently a demon. Or at least part demon. Frosty (1:45 am): (Rumors of Shy's death were greatly exaggerated.) shylarah (1:45 am): ((heehee)) Frosty (1:46 am): F: sits, not letting him go I know you don't want this. Bernard (1:46 am): F: I'm not ready to give up quite yet. There must be some way... Bernard (1:46 am): F: Before he encountered this cult again, he was perfectly normal. Contrast (1:48 am): C: ... you don't think they made him like that, do you? Contrast (1:48 am): C: ... I doubt it, that woman seemed to honestly believe in what she was doing. Contrast (1:50 am): (test) Contrast (1:51 am): N: I want to be, be... normal, just once. Frosty (1:51 am): F: lets go at Numl, slowly, leaning back and looking him over - how does he look now? Contrast (1:51 am): N: For more than a day. Contrast (1:51 am): N: looks up - he's completely normal Bernard (1:51 am): F: Maybe not, but... Frosty (1:51 am): F: I'm not gonna rest until you're a normal, good kid, Numl. Bernard (1:52 am): F: Who knows right now. She could've just been a figurehead, or...I don't know. shylarah (1:52 am): L: sorta half-aware of things, and not going anywhere soon Contrast (1:52 am): C: If she really believed in it, then I doubt she would have did something to -make- Numl like that and then lie about how it happened. Contrast (1:53 am): N: You, you... Contrast (1:54 am): N: You can't, that's like, that's like me trying to make you not have ice powers, you can. Contrast (1:54 am): (can't) Bernard* (1:54 am): F: We shouldn't speculate right now. We need time to rest, to comfort him... Frosty (1:54 am): F: looks rather ragged. He's dived through burning doorways, fought armored power suits, fired his gun in anger repeatedly, probably got blood on him... Frosty (1:55 am): F: his fur is singed and dirty and bloody in a few places. That doesn't mean we're not gonna try, Numl. You deserve so much better. shylarah (1:57 am): ((where'd Dio go?)) Contrast (1:57 am): N: his eyes get watery for the billionth time today and he rests his face on Frosty again I... Contrast (1:57 am): N: I l-love you. hugsqueeze shylarah (1:57 am): ((....awww)) Frosty (1:58 am): F: I... ...hug, not finding words ... Contrast (2:00 am): C: ... that... sword. Contrast (2:00 am): C: How can he lift that? Dio Cheysa (2:01 am): (err, somewhere) Dio Cheysa (2:01 am): (I need to get going for the night right now) shylarah (2:01 am): ((night...)) Dio Cheysa (2:02 am): (see you all later) Bernard (2:03 am): F: I'm assuming that this...demon has that power. Bernard (2:03 am): F: But he isn't supposed to be that way... Contrast (2:04 am): N: just stays there, calming down Frosty (2:06 am): F: ...love you, Numl. sniffles, a little I'm glad you're okay. Contrast (2:06 am): N: nods faintly, eyes shut Contrast (2:09 am): N: asleep, after so long Frosty (2:10 am): (BRB x_x) Frosty (2:11 am): (Dad needs me) Frosty (2:17 am): (Dad wants to do...something with my debit account and the school. Sorry...this might take a while. >< I'll try to hurry but he likes to waste my time, especially when he knows I'm doing something.) Frosty (2:17 am): (Makes him feel in control.) Frosty (2:17 am): (still have something I want to do though) shylarah (2:17 am): (((it's oka)) Contrast (2:18 am): (brb for a drink then.) shylarah (2:26 am): ((random question)) shylarah (2:27 am): ((If storks deliver babies, where do baby storks come from?!)) shylarah (2:37 am): ((..I'm falling asleep. I'm out, guys. and yayz for fixed internet!!))

I'm sorry, guys.) Frosty (2:52 am): (He wastes my time as much as possible for some stupid reason) Frosty (2:52 am): (lecturing me about ask.com and the postal service and visa cards and...ugh) Contrast (2:59 am): (Woof) Bernard (3:01 am): (blargh) Contrast (3:02 am): (So, what else do you have going?) Frosty (3:03 am): (Kinda killed the mood but I want to continue...was kinda hoping Faust and/or Connie could aks Frosty whe he went so uncharacteristically ballistic) Frosty (3:05 am): F: carefully laid Numl on his bed, covering him and leaving a spare key on the nightstand, before walking out of the room, head down ... Bernard (3:06 am): F: probably went inside by now, let's say Contrast (3:06 am): (They don't really have to ask) Contrast (3:06 am): C: walking with Faust - they happen upon Frosty as he leaves Frosty (3:06 am): (It's not just because of Numl =O) Contrast (3:07 am): (Well, I think that'ls Contrast's assumption... o.o) Contrast (3:08 am): C: Frosty... walks over Frosty (3:08 am): F: just nods at them, looking away Frosty (3:08 am): F: What? Bernard (3:08 am): F: How is he...? Frosty (3:08 am): F: He's asleep. He's...back to normal, physically... Frosty (3:11 am): F: looks shaken Contrast (3:11 am): C: I... Contrast (3:12 am): C: He really is something else. Frosty (3:12 am): F: Yeah, h-he...I'm gonna be at the bar, okay? Contrast (3:13 am): C: Going to drink? Frosty (3:13 am): F: M-maybe a little. Contrast (3:13 am): C: Not without someone going with you. Bernard (3:13 am): F: You shouldn't do that alone. nod Frosty (3:14 am): F: ...thanks. quietly, just walking off Contrast (3:14 am): C: follows Bernard (3:14 am): F: follow Contrast (3:14 am): C: I've never dealt with anything this messed up. Frosty (3:15 am): F: at the bar, he just plops on a stool and orders beer for the three of them Me...me either. Bernard (3:15 am): F: It's a first for myself, too. Bernard (3:15 am): F: sits Frosty (3:16 am): F: I...shakes his head Contrast (3:18 am): C: sits Contrast (3:18 am): C: Are you going to tell your parents? Frosty (3:19 am): F: I...could use M-mom right now. Contrast (3:20 am): C: nods ... Contrast (3:21 am): C: You... you used CAP rounds the whole time, didn't you? Frosty (3:21 am): F: I switched them yesterday, when we got R-roy's... ... Contrast (3:21 am): C: looks down Roy... %%##. Frosty (3:22 am): F: I guess I got a little...crazy, didn't I. Bernard (3:23 am): F: ..you really care for Numl. It's somewhat understandable. Frosty (3:23 am): F: ...I knew that was going to happen, I should've warned you... Contrast (3:24 am): C: Warned us? Frosty (3:25 am): F: nods Contrast (3:26 am): C: That you'd be really mad over what was happening to Numl? Frosty (3:27 am): F: I...I've done that before. Bernard (3:27 am): F: ...Do you want to talk about it? Frosty (3:28 am): F: looks down You two will listen... Bernard (3:30 am): F: Of course we will... Frosty (3:30 am): F: W-would you say I'm a...calm, a calm guy? Bernard (3:33 am): F: Usually. nod Frosty (3:33 am): F: I...sorta have to be. Bernard (3:33 am): F: What do you mean? Contrast (3:33 am): C: frowns, sips his drink Frosty (3:34 am): F: I n-never get mad, because when I do...th-that sort of thing happens. Bernard (3:34 am): F: Have you always had this problem? Frosty (3:35 am): F: nods Frosty (3:35 am): F: Not over...over anything, but mad about something big, I'd... Bernard (3:36 am): F: Over something like this. sighs Frosty (3:36 am): F: I was afraid I'd start...killing people, if I brought lethal ammunition. Frosty (3:36 am): F: But...unholsters his gun, just setting it on the counter Take this, for a few days. Bernard (3:37 am): F: ...you take it, Contrast. glances away for a second Contrast (3:39 am): C: ~Hnn.~ reaches acrossed, and takes it, looking it over Contrast (3:39 am): C: I'm sorry. Frosty (3:39 am): it's loaded with distinctive blue-tipped CAP rounds. Up until yesterday, Frosty used lethal bullets. Frosty (3:39 am): F: I don't even...even remember today, it's...sort of a blur. that's what it's like. Contrast (3:43 am): C: What do we do about Numl? Frosty (3:44 am): F: I don't know. Frosty (3:44 am): F: I...he... ... Bernard (3:44 am): F: Hm...? Frosty (3:45 am): F: He said, he loves me. ... Contrast (3:45 am): C: Really. Contrast (3:45 am): C: ... I wouldn't doubt that, you've been better to him than anyone he's ever known. Frosty (3:46 am): F: I know, h-he's...such a good kid. Bernard (3:47 am): F: ...it's good to see that he's found someone he can say that to. Frosty (3:48 am): F: I'm...afraid...afraid of hurting him, afraid if I can't... ... Contrast (3:49 am): C: You won't. Frosty (3:50 am): F: just nods, numbly ... Bernard (3:50 am): F: After what you did, no way. Frosty (3:51 am): F: I've a-always been the most calm guy, but...I've always had a horrible...temper. I don't know why, I just... Contrast (3:52 am): C: He said he loves you. Frosty (3:52 am): F: nods ... Contrast (3:52 am): C: That transcends "temper." Frosty (3:53 am): F: D-did I kill anyone? Today, did I...? Contrast (3:54 am): C: shakes his head Contrast (3:54 am): (He didn't, did he?) Frosty (3:54 am): (No, but he came pretty %%## close) Frosty (3:55 am): (anyone who heard his numerous threats to kill everyone in the facility would probably find it a safe bet that he was dead serious.) Contrast (3:55 am): C: ... Comanche shot someone. And... Numl killed Duvesa. Frosty (3:56 am): F: I remember what N-numl did. Contrast (3:56 am): C: You, you threatened people a lot, but no, you didn't kill anyone. Bernard (3:56 am): F: going quiet at this subject, drinking ... Frosty (3:57 am): F: ...I would've done it. Whatever I said. Frosty (4:02 am): F: ... Frosty (4:02 am): F: I'm sorry. Frosty (4:02 am): (brb, stomach x_x) Bernard (4:03 am): F: ...don't be. Frosty (4:11 am): F: ... Frosty (4:11 am): F: I...I'm afraid of it. Frosty (4:12 am): (I have some kind of stomach bug or something. My stomach's been killing me for days) Contrast (4:13 am): C: puts an arm over Frosty's shoulder Frosty (4:13 am): F: I'm afraid some day I'm gonna, I'm gonna... Bernard (4:15 am): F: We have more faith in you than that. Frosty (4:15 am): F: looks down ... Bernard (4:17 am): F: pats his back Contrast (4:17 am): C: Is there anything I can do? Frosty (4:19 am): F: I don't know. Th-that's...that's the hard part about it. I don't know why it happens, I d-don't know how to stop it, I don't even know what I might do... Contrast (4:19 am): C: At least, any time this gets to you, come and see me, alright? Any time you aren't sure. Frosty (4:21 am): F: ...okay. looks at Contrast, then at Faust Bernard (4:22 am): F: Me, too. We're good friends. Frosty (4:23 am): F: hugs Faust, at that Bernard (4:23 am): F: hugs Frosty (4:25 am): F: Thanks... Frosty (4:25 am): F: D-don't...don't tell anyone else about this. Contrast (4:27 am): C: We won't. Bernard (4:29 am): F: nods Frosty (4:31 am): F: sigh ... Frosty (4:31 am): F: I can...can usually control it. I try to be a good person. looks down Frosty (4:33 am): (guys, dual wielding lightsaber, my main saber is blue. should my off-hand short lightsaber be: purple, yellow, or green) Bernard (4:35 am): (It should be blue for symmetry) Contrast (4:35 am): (Red) Frosty (4:36 am): (IT was red before I could get to a workbench and change the crystal) Bernard (4:36 am): (That's if you're into duality themes) Contrast (4:36 am): C: You're a good person. Seriously, Numl's known nothing but $%@ before he met you, and you changed all of that. You are the brightest thing in his life. Contrast* (4:36 am): (Don't change it!) Contrast (4:37 am): (brb.) Frosty (4:37 am): F: I know, but... Bernard (4:38 am): F: It's true, Frosty. Keep that in mind. Frosty (4:39 am): F: nods ... Frosty (4:40 am): F: Did I...threaten anyone, or yell at anyone, anyone with us today? Frosty (4:40 am): F: I think I...I remember saying something to Lani, but... Bernard (4:42 am): F: You were angry with her. glances away Bernard (4:42 am): F: It might be a good idea to talk to her about it at a later time. Frosty (4:42 am): F: nods ... Frosty (4:45 am): F: ...Connie. Contrast (4:49 am): C: Yeah? Frosty (4:50 am): F: ...let's take Numl to work with us. Don't care how little he might have to do... Contrast (4:51 am): C: nods He' Contrast (4:51 am): (gah) Contrast (4:51 am): C: nods He's always asking... Frosty (4:52 am): F: all he wants is to do something for us, but we... sighs Contrast (4:57 am): C: Do you think he's... Frosty (4:58 am): F: ? Contrast (5:01 am): C: Dangerous? Frosty (5:01 am): F: ...I don't know. I don't think so. Bernard (5:02 am): F: I wouldn't think... Frosty (5:03 am): F: Even when we wanted him to leave his sword...he was never threatening us... Frosty (5:03 am): F: He attacked Duvesa...that's it. Contrast (5:09 am): C: God, I hope so. Contrast (5:09 am): C: The way Lani described it... Frosty (5:10 am): f: i... ...YEAH. Frosty (5:10 am): (Ack) Contrast (5:15 am): C: I mean, I've been around at least my own bizarre power all my life, but that doesn't sound like just... powers, you know? Frosty (5:15 am): F: ...nod Frosty (5:16 am): F: I just can't believe... Frosty (5:16 am): F: I thought the cult was just crazy. Bernard (5:17 am): F: They are crazy. Frosty (5:17 am): F: They are, but...wrong or not, I don't agree with what they did, with what she did, but...I never thought they would be right about... Frosty (5:17 am): F: about N-numl. Contrast (5:20 am): C: ~If they were right about that, maybe...~ Contrast (5:20 am): C: ~.... no, not going to think that way. We're going to help him.~ Contrast (5:22 am): C: We have to help him. Bernard (5:22 am): F: Of course we're helping him. Bernard (5:23 am): F: How we do that is another matter... Frosty (5:23 am): F: ...I don't know. Contrast (5:27 am): C: He moved the sword without touching it? Contrast (5:27 am): C: Even when he was mostly back to norma? Contrast (5:28 am): (l) Frosty (5:28 am): F: Yeah... Contrast (5:32 am): C: ... this is probably going to hit him harder when he wakes up, a lot harder. Frosty (5:33 am): F: Me too. sighs ... Contrast (5:39 am): C: If that's so, I... Contrast (5:40 am): C: ... Let me be with Numl when he gets up, you be with Faust. Contrast (5:40 am): C: Or the other way around. Frosty (5:40 am): F: He'll, I...looks at Connie, then at Faust ... Frosty (5:41 am): F: ...looks down, ears flat I want to be there for him. Contrast (5:41 am): C: Are you sure you can take it right now? You could use some down time. Frosty (5:41 am): F: No...you're right. Frosty (5:42 am): F: He'll just feel worse if he wakes up and sees me just as much of a wreck. Bernard (5:43 am): F: nods Which of us would you prefer, Frosty? Frosty (5:44 am): F: I don't know... ...Connie, mind if I spend the night in your room, then? Contrast (5:46 am): C: Fine with me. nods Frosty (5:48 am): F: Faust. Bernard (5:49 am): F: Hm? Frosty (5:50 am): F: hands him a room key Just...be there for him. I'll be there when I'm more...presentable. Bernard (5:51 am): F: takes it I will. Contrast (5:53 am): (And I think it's time to call it a night) Frosty (5:53 am): (Indeed.) Frosty (5:54 am): OOC ~Hope, like Love, never dies. It may seem to disappear at times, but it’s always there, ready to be found again.~

Caterick (7:53 pm): IC in five minutes, having a smoke Lani (7:53 pm): ((evil grin)) Lani (7:54 pm): ((....BAD crim!)) Sandy (7:54 pm): E: in...the atrium, having brought food from the cafe ... Lani (7:54 pm): in the garden, more or less inside the tree Bernard (7:54 pm): (back from dinner) Lani (7:55 pm): ((weeba!)) Caterick (7:58 pm): (It's a preservative! It contains fomalrahyde!) Caterick (7:58 pm): Indigo: Is in the atrium, doing his usual excersises Caterick (7:59 pm): By the buffet is a figure who, from a distance at least, looks like Catty. The shape and body language (Overdramatic) is the same Lani (7:59 pm): ((heehee)) Callisto (8:00 pm): downstairs in the cafe having breakfast as well Bauks (8:00 pm): C: awake. Lani (8:00 pm): L: for those who weren't there, she's in pretty bad shape, injured from the day before Caterick (8:00 pm): El Gato: Looking for Faust, since I've been beggered off and neglected it for a while Frosty (8:01 pm): F: in Contrast's room, having showered, changed, and exercised before Contrast woke up, if Connie woke up at normal time. Bauks (8:01 pm): C: sits up, yawns Bernard (8:01 pm): F: is probably in Numl's room, after being asked by Frosty Frosty (8:01 pm): F: Good morning. Frosty (8:01 pm): (Frosty's room) Bauks (8:01 pm): N: Isn't in the bed with Faust Bernard (8:01 pm): (Oh yeah) Bauks (8:02 pm): N: The Great Knife is not on the dresser - water can be heard in the bathtub, running Caterick (8:03 pm): Heading over to (Cally? Or is it Commie and an alt thing?) it's obvious immediatly that this isn't Catty. Though he is identical in facial features and body shape, his fur is white with black underbelly, tending to blue, and he wears a beige/red coat. He also has a plunger where one leg should be. Lani (8:03 pm): SK&B: probably in the cafe too Caterick (8:05 pm): I: Looks to Eve and Lani, he's been away for a couple of days, and considers asking what happened to the semi-corpreal gal... but perhaps that would be rude Frosty (8:05 pm): E: looks at Indigo, staying quiet and out of the way. She was looking for solitude... Callisto (8:06 pm): (oops, meant Commy) Lani (8:06 pm): L: sorta half-aware Comanche (8:07 pm): glance up and lbinks Uh, hey there Bernard (8:07 pm): F: sitting on the bed, quietly Bauks (8:07 pm): C: You look better. Bernard (8:07 pm): F: ~He even carried the knife in there?~ Frosty (8:07 pm): F: It's just looks. sigh Caterick (8:08 pm): The white furred cat takes a seat without asking Greetings, thou shrimp minded peon, it is I, your companion, Catty. I am here to join you in the breaking of the fast! Frosty (8:08 pm): (XD) Lani (8:08 pm): Ro: ....hm....jump on table Caterick (8:08 pm): El Gato: Obviously didn't think of looking there, and is wandering until needed Bauks (8:08 pm): N: he's washing it off, cleaning it from any remnants of blood Lani (8:09 pm): Ro: You don't /sound/ like Catty. Bauks (8:09 pm): N: he sobs quietly, once Comanche (8:09 pm): blink Um, what. You can't be Catty. Caterick (8:09 pm): Observes Ro Ah! Schrodinger! Thou observasional feline! Lani (8:09 pm): Ro: ....multiple personality disorder? I knew there had to be something wrong with you. Caterick (8:10 pm): What do you mean I am not Catty, do I not have the mittens, the singular eye? The bizare knowledge of things man was not meant to know? Lani (8:10 pm): Ro: sniffs maybe-catty Bauks (8:10 pm): C: C'mere. Caterick (8:10 pm): Smells like fire Frosty (8:10 pm): F: sits by him ... Bernard (8:10 pm): F: stands up, walking to the door a little ... Caterick (8:10 pm): Rather than the bread smell of real Catty Lani (8:10 pm): ((did the old catty smell like that?)) Bernard (8:10 pm): F: the bathroom door, that is Lani (8:11 pm): Ro: ....you don't have the smell, pal. =^.^= Caterick (8:11 pm): It is a new deodoriser I have been trying. Obiously. I couldn't possibly be impersonating him. Comanche (8:11 pm): Then who are you exactly if you ah, smell different? Lani (8:11 pm): Ro: Your speach isn't the same, either.... Lani (8:12 pm): Ro: nor your coloration.... Caterick (8:12 pm): That is because, most certainly Catty, was drunk before because I am a wasterel and a moron. Bernard (8:12 pm): F: clears his throat Is everything alright in there...? Bauks (8:12 pm): N: turns the water off Y-yeah... Bauks (8:13 pm): C: Talk to me... Frosty (8:13 pm): F: lies back down ...didn't sleep well. Bernard (8:14 pm): F: Just checking on you... sits back down Lani (8:14 pm): Ro: ....if Catty'd been drunk, I'd have smelt the alcohol. Overdramatic, yes. unusual, most definitely, but you? not quite. Caterick (8:16 pm): I think you are merely confused, sir feline, as a person in your odd situation is wont to be! Coughs purpousfully So how about that local popular sports team? Comanche (8:16 pm): Why are your colors different as well? Comanche (8:16 pm): ...uh, that sounds canned >> Caterick (8:16 pm): c_c Frosty (8:17 pm): E: Good morning. quietly Lani (8:17 pm): Ro: plus Catty and I didn't really get along.... Caterick (8:17 pm): I: Finishing up his kata, he nods to Eve Good morning, Eve. How are you today? Frosty (8:18 pm): E: Okay. nod ... You? Caterick (8:18 pm): That is because he, rather I, am a scoundrel and a waste of space. Lani (8:18 pm): Ro: ....multiple personality disorder... Lani (8:19 pm): Ro: not to mention your pronoun problem... Caterick (8:20 pm): It's a chronic problem and I'd rather you didn't draw attention to it lest I set you alight. I mean. Cry. Lani (8:20 pm): Ro: not really interested I'm a cat. I'll land on my feet. =^.^= Caterick (8:20 pm): From fire. I mean tears? Lani (8:22 pm): Ro: whichever. I'm a cat. and I've still got eight of my nine lives. Caterick (8:22 pm): Me too, my dear feline, we should celebrate this fact! Caterick (8:23 pm): I: Puts his sword away I've been better, but mostly I'm fine. Comanche (8:23 pm): I just find it hard to believe you are the same person as Catty... Frosty (8:23 pm): E: What's wrong? Lani (8:23 pm): Ro: ....I'll be around. Frosty (8:23 pm): F: Bad dreams. Lani (8:23 pm): Ro: wanders off Bauks (8:24 pm): C: What about? Caterick (8:24 pm): I: Oh, nothing you should worry about. Family issues. Frosty (8:24 pm): F: ... Bauks (8:24 pm): N: drying the weapon off with a towel Bernard (8:24 pm): (I just noticed that was Caterick and not Crimson) Caterick (8:24 pm): Glances around Really? That hard to beleive? Comanche (8:24 pm): Yep. (Brb) Frosty (8:25 pm): F: I don't...really want to talk about it. Bauks (8:26 pm): N: the door's open by just a smidge Bernard (8:26 pm): F: stands up again, quietly opening the bathroom door Numl...? Bauks (8:27 pm): N: glances over, and then looks down Hey... Caterick (8:27 pm): Curses! Shakes his fist at nothing in particular Bernard (8:27 pm): F: walks over, giving him a hug Lani (8:28 pm): L: rouses slightly at the noise Lani (8:28 pm): L: <. . .> Comanche (8:29 pm): blink What is it? Lani (8:30 pm): ((hey!)) Dio Cheysa (8:30 pm): (yowdy) Caterick (8:31 pm): My attempts to sully his good name obviously require refinement. Lani (8:31 pm): ((anyhow....um. that earlier topic?)) Caterick (8:31 pm): (Hola!) Frosty (8:31 pm): (earlier topic?) Dio Cheysa (8:31 pm): (tell me about Zero in PM Shy :P) Comanche (8:31 pm): So you aren't him? o_o Lani (8:32 pm): ((...you know which one, Sandy. he would like at least to know if we're considering it.) Caterick (8:32 pm): Of course not, Catty is a borderline retard with delusions of intelligence. Caterick (8:32 pm): I'm his evil twin. Frosty (8:33 pm): (Tell him we are.) Comanche (8:34 pm): What's your name then? Bernard (8:35 pm): F: looks over at the knife ...y needed to wash that, hm. Bernard (8:35 pm): (you) Bauks* (8:35 pm): N: Yeah. faintly Caterick (8:35 pm): Caterick. Offers his hand A pleasure to meet you good sir. I almost regret the fact that we will surely conflict in the near future when I attempt to burn this place to the ground. Comanche (8:36 pm): Your name shake >> Lani (8:36 pm): B: wide eyes at the word "burn" Caterick (8:37 pm): Caterick is my name. Prounounced in the same way as the Irish locale. It is an evil twin thing that would require far to much multidimensional physics to explain. Lani (8:37 pm): B: starts shaking a bit Sk: Easy, Bits... Comanche (8:37 pm): Yeah... I'm Officer Comanche. Glance at Bits Lani (8:38 pm): Sk: Mister, I don't care what your name is. You're scaring my sister! Bauks (8:38 pm): C: You should see your parents. Caterick (8:38 pm): Oh my dear sir, I am aware of your identification. Your own evil twin has told me so much about you. Frosty (8:39 pm): F: I will. Comanche (8:39 pm): What are you on about eyebrow raise Frosty (8:39 pm): F: I'm gonna have dinner wwith Mom and Dad, I called them last night. Caterick (8:39 pm): Turns to Sparks I apoplogise for that, sir Sparks. I did not mean to frighten her just yet. That would be completely out of order. It's tarnish the good name, sabotage, scare then burn. Lani (8:39 pm): Sk: ....I don't /have an evil twin. Just one very frightened sister. Enough about fire! static lightnings in his hair Bauks (8:40 pm): C: Are you going to tell them everything that happened? Frosty (8:40 pm): F: ...yeah. I don't know how, though. Caterick (8:40 pm): Of course you do. Everybody has an evil twin. Frosty (8:40 pm): F: But I don't keep things from them. shake head Lani (8:40 pm): < . . . > Comanche (8:41 pm): Would you stop that sir! Now what is your name. Lani (8:41 pm): Sk: ...Commie, get him away from the two of us. through clenched teeth Bits isn't taking this well. Lani (8:41 pm): ((he gave his name)) Lani (8:41 pm): ((and the pronunciation)) Lani (8:41 pm): L: directed at Eve and Indigo Caterick (8:42 pm): (What is? Ellipses?) Lani (8:42 pm): ((yeah, but...mindspeach, so...)) Frosty (8:42 pm): E: ...? Frosty (8:43 pm): E: Wh-what was that? Caterick (8:43 pm): My dear electrically inclined individual, I assure you that I currently mean you no harm. Why I have not even finished my breakfast yet. Frosty (8:43 pm): ("currently" lolz) Caterick (8:43 pm): (I really doubt I'm going to pick up on mindspeak ellipses.) Caterick (8:44 pm): Forsooth, I havn't even got halfway through my list of purple prose! Lani (8:45 pm): Sk: Commie, now would be good. lightning zags its way down his brain Because /I/ am getting angry enough that I might not be able to say the same thing... Bernard (8:46 pm): Bu: comes down to the cafe...whimpering Comanche (8:46 pm): Please sir, go leave us be. Caterick (8:46 pm): Honestly, officer, can you not keep this man's temper under control untill it is the due time for conflict? Caterick (8:46 pm): Shakes his head Where is this generations respect for thematic conventions? Lani (8:46 pm): B: looks at Bu Lani (8:47 pm): <is....someone there?> Comanche (8:47 pm): You are saying things that could be considered frightening or threatening because of your mention of fire... Frosty (8:48 pm): E: ...? Frosty (8:48 pm): E: Who is that? Caterick (8:49 pm): Very well then, I shall leave... Starts heading toward the door, and stops at the exit, turning, face shadowed by his hair But know this, chaos shall follow this meeting, there will be a mild inconvienince to all! TEEHEEHEEHEE! Raises his hand as lightning flashes behind him. Possibly due to a faulty bulb Caterick (8:49 pm): And he leaves Comanche (8:49 pm): blink Did he really need to punch out that poor lightbulb? Lani (8:49 pm): <...I'm Lani...> steps carefully out of the tree, not looking very well Caterick (8:50 pm): I: Blinks ~Um, Lani?~ ...Are you okay? ~Stupid question~ Lani (8:51 pm): aloud, though quietly I'll be okay, I think....I just have to take time to heal.... Frosty (8:51 pm): E: Oh.. ...? Frosty (8:51 pm): E: You left with Frosty and Contrast and...everyone, I saw you. Frosty (8:52 pm): F: I want to see Numl though. Lani (8:52 pm): L: nods yeah. I've been...involving myself a bit more, lately.... Bernard (8:52 pm): Bu: his feathers look blurry, like something clear is flowing over their surface and distorting them Lani (8:52 pm): B: stands up and hurries over to him Lani (8:52 pm): *to bu Caterick (8:53 pm): I: ~Did I miss something?~ Comanche (8:53 pm): Also Sparks... you don't need to worry about Ryan anymore Bernard (8:53 pm): F: ...we'll fix this, I promise you that. Bauks (8:54 pm): N: I... Lani (8:54 pm): Bits: kneels next to him ? Bauks (8:54 pm): N: I'm sorry I can't just get rid of this thing. Lani (8:55 pm): Sk: ....I see. nods sharply Bernard (8:55 pm): F: Don't say you're sorry. You did not do this. Lani (8:55 pm): Bits: reaches out to pet Bu? Bernard (8:56 pm): Bu: trembles, at her touch gives a slight screech Frosty (8:57 pm): F: I'm gonna head down to my room. Bauks (8:57 pm): N: I, I don't even want to look at it, nobody does, it's... it's freaky. Lani (8:57 pm): Bits: whisper what's wrong? Bernard (8:58 pm): F: I...we understand. Bernard (8:58 pm): F: Don't worry about us being bothered by it. We want to be here for you, to help you. Frosty (8:59 pm): (brb, hungry) Bauks (8:59 pm): C: Alright. I... Bauks (8:59 pm): C: I don't know what I'm going to do. Bernard (9:00 pm): Bu: curls up into a ball Lani (9:01 pm): Bits: looks at the strange stuff Frosty (9:01 pm): F: Go to work with us? shrugs ... Bauks (9:01 pm): C: You don't need to open the shop today. Frosty (9:02 pm): F: I'm doing so, for Numl. Bernard (9:02 pm): Bu: it's not so much stuff as it is...blur that's happening Bauks (9:04 pm): C: What if he can't leave that thing here? Frosty (9:04 pm): F: ...I don't know. sighs Frosty (9:04 pm): F: I thought about him working here, before this happened, for his birthday... Bernard (9:04 pm): Bu: curls up a little tighter, and slowly...begins to grow Frosty (9:04 pm): (here? there) Lani (9:05 pm): Bits: what can I do to --oh, wow.. Frosty (9:05 pm): F: I want to go buy some eighth-grade books and such for him. Ask him to study it when the store's idle. Bauks (9:05 pm): C: He'll be glad to. nods Lani (9:06 pm): Bits: watches Frosty (9:07 pm): F: Besides, I want to go to work. I want...things to go back to normal, one thing at a time. sighs Frosty (9:07 pm): F: You can stay here if you want, but if he has to bring that knife with him, can we borrow your car? Bauks (9:08 pm): C: Yeah. No problem. Lani (9:09 pm): L: you okay, you two? Frosty (9:11 pm): F: Thanks. Staying home, then? Bauks (9:12 pm): C: If you go to work, I'm going to go with you. Frosty (9:12 pm): F: ...Thanks, Connie. hugs him, tightly, before looking at the door Lani (9:13 pm): ((poke crim)) Caterick (9:14 pm): (Wurf?) Frosty (9:14 pm): (if you didn't notice/were wondering, zero's in the other room and a few of us are talking to him) Lani (9:14 pm): ((lani asked you a question.)) Frosty (9:14 pm): (he wants to watch/join - I don't know - this RP) Lani (9:15 pm): ((brb...)) Bernard (9:15 pm): Bu: stops growing...he didn't get much bigger, maybe a dozen pounds Frosty (9:15 pm): E: nod Caterick (9:15 pm): (Didn't see that) Caterick (9:15 pm): As well as I always am. Nods Lani (9:16 pm): nod weakly if you say so.... Bauks (9:16 pm): C: hugs back Bauks (9:16 pm): C: I'm gonna go shower and stuff. Bauks (9:16 pm): N: I... Bauks (9:17 pm): N: I'm so scared. Bauks (9:17 pm): N: looks at the knifesword Bernard (9:17 pm): F: leans down, hugging him ... Frosty (9:17 pm): F: Alright. Meet me in the cafe. Frosty (9:17 pm): F: heads out Bernard (9:17 pm): Bu: the blurriness fades, too, but he's still curled up and whimpering Bauks (9:18 pm): C: gets to showering and cleaning himself up Caterick (9:18 pm): (Anyway, I'm about done for the night now. I'm stuck in my own timezone atm) Bernard (9:19 pm): F: ...Everything will be okay in the end. Bauks (9:19 pm): N: puts the knife down, letting it rest in the bathtub I'm a... she was right about me. Caterick (9:20 pm): (Night ladies) Caterick (9:20 pm): (And shy) Bernard (9:20 pm): F: Whatever that thing is, it isn't you. Lani (9:21 pm): ((re)) Bauks (9:21 pm): N: It is! Comanche (9:21 pm): (brb) Bernard (9:22 pm): F: That is not the Numl I know. shakes his head Bauks (9:23 pm): N: M-maybe not. Bauks (9:23 pm): N: But this is like... this is like a disguise. Bernard (9:23 pm): F: A disguise? Lani (9:23 pm): Bits: reaches out slowly shhh.... Frosty (9:24 pm): F: knocks on the door to his room Comanche (9:24 pm): (back) Bernard (9:24 pm): F: looks to the door Who is it? Frosty (9:24 pm): F: Me. Lani (9:24 pm): Bits: touches Bu, if it doesn't hurt him? Comanche (9:25 pm): ...say, where is Bits? Bernard (9:25 pm): F: Come in, Frosty... Lani (9:25 pm): smiles weakly at Eve I can't recall if we've met.... Frosty (9:25 pm): E: We haven't...Eve. Lani (9:25 pm): Sk: with Bubastis. Something about him looking funny. Comanche (9:25 pm): Hmm... but yes, Ryan tried to attack me last night and with Cobalt's help, we... stopped him Bernard (9:26 pm): Bu: shivers at the touch Lani (9:26 pm): nods Eve....that's a nice name.

Frosty (9:32 pm): F: Yeah. You? Bernard (9:32 pm): (More like he's scared) Lani (9:33 pm): ((of her?)) Bernard (9:34 pm): (No, just in general o.o) Bernard (9:34 pm): Bu: whiny noise Lani (9:35 pm): Bits: it's okay....pets him gently Frosty (9:38 pm): (you there, Box?) Lani (9:38 pm): I think I've seen you around before, once or twice....you seem to like your own company best, though...

Bernard (9:39 pm): (he mad) Bauks (9:39 pm): (I am mad) Comanche (9:39 pm): (lolz) Lani (9:40 pm): ((why?)) Lani (9:40 pm): (oooh...)) Lani (9:40 pm): ((by the way, I apologize on Lani's behalf for her absence when Numl could have used a friend, a few days ago....)) Bauks (9:41 pm): (o.o It's fine) Bauks (9:42 pm): N: frustrated A-at least before I could take comfort in being a normal kid. Bernard (9:42 pm): F: looks at him, sadly You will be normal again, we'll find some way... Frosty (9:43 pm): F: nods ... Bauks (9:44 pm): N: You, you... you don't know that. Frosty (9:44 pm): F: We have faith. hug Frosty (9:46 pm): E: I didn't know anyone was down here. Bernard (9:46 pm): F: ...On my travels, I heard a phrase at some point. Bernard (9:47 pm): F: "If it's not okay, it isn't the end." Lani (9:47 pm): L: I....usually keep to myself too.... Frosty (9:48 pm): E: Oh... Lani (9:48 pm): L: or I used to....a friend said I shouldn't do that so much, and...I've been trying to take the advice.... Bauks (9:48 pm): N: frowns What am I going to tell people when they ask me about th-that stupid sword I can't even move away from, "it's because I'm actually some kind of demon?" Bauks (9:49 pm): N: You guys cant even lift that thing. Frosty (9:50 pm): F: We'll figure it out, Numl. Lani (9:51 pm): ((actually, bauks, no it wasn't, really, but....it couldn't be helped.)) Lani (9:51 pm): ((still irritated about that whole weekend)) Bauks* (9:51 pm): (o0) Bauks (9:51 pm): (I'm not really totally sure what you're talking about, exactly) Frosty (9:51 pm): (her internet went down for three days?) Bauks (9:52 pm): (Oh, right, but I dunno what occurence she means when Numl needed someone exactly) Bauks (9:52 pm): (When Roy first showed up?) Lani (9:53 pm): ((for roy, before he died, and for numl, after Frosty left and while dio was out, and he was all "I want to be with someone o_o )) Bauks (9:53 pm): (Awww) Bauks (9:53 pm): (You don't have to apologize for that =\) Bauks (9:53 pm): N: Yeah. Lani (9:53 pm): ((yeah. I'm reading the logs, and going "well, DUH, go see Lani -- wait, that's me. I'm not there. GRAH!")) Frosty (9:54 pm): (...XD) Frosty (9:54 pm): F: ...Hey. Frosty (9:54 pm): F: Numl. Lani (9:54 pm): Bits: trying to reassure Bubastis Bernard (9:54 pm): (Shy, when things happen to our characters, we don't really mind it =p I mean, we care about them and feel bad for them, but you shouldn't worry about not being there and such) Lani (9:55 pm): I'd....be a bit more active, actually, but...I'm not doing quite so well right now... Frosty (9:55 pm): E: What happened?

Lani (10:04 pm): ((yes...)) Lani (10:04 pm): ((maybe.))

I mean, psychicness)) Bernard (10:08 pm): Bu: does this a few more times, but nothing comes of it...he looks bewildered Bernard (10:08 pm): F: Would you mind if I went along?

Lani (10:23 pm): L: moves slowly to "sit" by Eve Frosty (10:23 pm): E: Why are you down here? Lani (10:25 pm): ....Because it is...a bit easier for me, if I have some sort of living substance to exist in, while I'm healng....I've usuallly been here, actually, since the hotel was built... Frosty (10:25 pm): E: Oh... Frosty (10:25 pm): F: hugs Numl again We're gonna help you. Just...one thing at a time. Lani (10:25 pm): ((....hehe)) Lani (10:26 pm): I'm...sorta like what you might call a ghost.... Frosty (10:27 pm): E: Oh...

Frosty (10:28 pm): (I thought it was in the bathtub? =O) Comanche (10:29 pm): (brb) Bauks (10:29 pm): (He, uh, picked it up but I forgot to say so) Frosty (10:29 pm): (lolz) Bernard (10:30 pm): Bu: stands up, looking around Lani (10:31 pm): Bits: who do you want? I....I can help you find them, if you like....gets even quieter for the last sentence Frosty (10:31 pm): F: Let's go downstairs, alright? Bernard (10:31 pm): Bu: looks up at Bits, again moving his mouth and making incoherent noises Bauks (10:32 pm): N: nods ... Bauks (10:33 pm): N: I need a better way to carry this than in my hands... Bauks (10:33 pm): N: starts following Frosty Lani (10:33 pm): Bits: closes her eyes and thinks Is it a person? just yes or no...that should be easy enough, right? Even I can...let others know that without saying anything.... Frosty (10:33 pm): F: Some kind of sheathe? starts heading off Bernard (10:33 pm): F: Some sort of sling, to carry it on your back...? follows] Frosty (10:34 pm): E: I just...it seemed quiet in here. shrug Bauks (10:34 pm): N: nods Frosty (10:35 pm): E: is a terrible liar. she didn't want to be around people. Lani (10:35 pm): ((what's she replyin---oh, she's trying to make excuses...)) Bernard (10:35 pm): Bu: makes a noise when she says yes Bernard (10:36 pm): (actually...scratch that) Lani (10:36 pm): Bits: smiles a little Alright....tell me when I say the right one....Faust? Lani (10:36 pm): ((okay.)) Bernard (10:37 pm): Bu: instead he looks at Bits, then moves around a bit, turning his head ike he's looking for someone Bernard (10:37 pm): (like) Lani* (10:38 pm): ....it usually is pretty quiet in here, though sometimes people will use the space to train or something, because it is a peaceful setting. I like it quiet.... Frosty (10:38 pm): E: Yeah... Lani (10:38 pm): Bits: Do you want Faust? Bernard (10:39 pm): Bu: opens and closes his beak a few more times ....Foooooowww... Lani (10:39 pm): Anytime you want to be alone, you are more than welcome to come here if you wish. And if someone else comes, once I am better, I can -- do you have problems with heights, at all? Lani (10:39 pm): Bits: Faust. repeats softly Bauks (10:40 pm): N: I look ridiculous with this thing... Lani (10:41 pm): Bits: tries to remember if she's seen him today Bernard (10:41 pm): Bu: it's very animal-like, though ...Faaaw... Lani (10:41 pm): ((weeba)) Frosty (10:41 pm): F: What...what's it like? Bauks (10:42 pm): N: ... what's what like? Comanche (10:42 pm): (I have a Sears TeleGames Atari2600; the original Paddle controllers, an original joystick, and an original keypad controller, yet no power supply or video cables D: ) Lani (10:42 pm): Bits: closer. You'll get it....pets I...can't remember seeing him today. Maybe upstairs? We can go look... Comanche (10:42 pm): (After spending all that time figuring out how to hook it up too...) Lani (10:43 pm): ((heh)) Frosty (10:43 pm): F: The knife, it...you...you know. Bernard (10:43 pm): Bu: looks down at the floor, ears drooping Bauks (10:43 pm): N: It's... it's mine, it's like a part of me. Lani (10:45 pm): Bits: hey, I understand you...I know where his room is, too. there, or Contrast, or Frosty. One of them will know, for sure. small reassuring smile Let's go look? Frosty (10:45 pm): F: I see... Bauks (10:46 pm): N: I can actually feel it when anyone else touches it. Bernard (10:47 pm): F: blinks But that's... Bernard (10:47 pm): Bu: shivers, going closer to Bits Lani (10:49 pm): Bits: We'll find him...hugs if he lets her, and then gets to her feet Third floor, his room. And Frosty....head for elevator Frosty (10:50 pm): F: exits stairs. He always takes the stairs. Bernard (10:50 pm): Bu: follows after Bits, after being hugged Lani (10:51 pm): ((...frosty's in the lobby, now?)) Frosty (10:52 pm): F: Yep Lani (10:53 pm): Bits: glance at frosty, and slows .....not really willing to talk to people-people yet.... Mmmm.... Frosty (10:54 pm): F: Connie'll be down shortly, Numl. We'll leave after breakfast. Lani (10:54 pm): Bits: approach frosty, awkwardly Bernard (10:55 pm): F: following with them, he spots Bubastis and goes down to hug him, but blinks ... Frosty (10:55 pm): F: looks at Bits Good morning. Lani (10:55 pm): Bits: smile when she sees faust Bauks (10:55 pm): N: enters the cafe... entering a public place carrying such a weapon? Bernard (10:55 pm): F: ~He looks larger...~ Bauks (10:55 pm): N: He feels quite awkward Lani (10:56 pm): B: ducks her head and turns her attention to Faust, when he exits the stairs pets Bu for reassurance Lani (10:57 pm): Sk: Hey, Numl! Bernard (10:57 pm): Bu: opens his mouth and makes noises again Bernard (10:57 pm): F: blinks ...what's wrong with you, friend? Lani (10:58 pm): Bits: ....F-Faust? looking at the floor and shaking slightly Bu....he.... Bauks (10:59 pm): N: looks at Sparks, uncomfortably Hey... Frosty (10:59 pm): F: blinks, kneeling and looking at Bubastis Bernard (10:59 pm): F: looks at Bits ...did something happen? Bernard (10:59 pm): Bu: looking at the floor, seeming afraid Lani (10:59 pm): Bits: nodnod Lani (11:00 pm): Bits: still pettinng Bu Lani (11:00 pm): Sk: has a bright grin for Numl, just like always Bauks (11:02 pm): N: doesn't return it Bauks (11:02 pm): N: ~Isn't it illegal to carry something like this?~ Lani (11:02 pm): Bits: very quietly n-nothing bad -- bigger, and.....I-I-I think......trails off Bernard (11:03 pm): F: ...what happened? Bernard (11:03 pm): F: I noticed he was bigger... Comanche (11:03 pm): (o_O window disappeared) Comanche (11:04 pm): Hey there Numl! smile Lani (11:04 pm): Sk: smile fades when he doesn't get one back ....You okay, Numl? you look down.... Bauks (11:05 pm): N: Um... sits, somewhere Some stuff happened. Lani (11:05 pm): Bits: ....he can.....talk, a l-little.....still not looking at Faust Bernard (11:06 pm): F: ...but, that's impossible. Lani (11:08 pm): Sk: Mm. there's been a lot of "stuff" happening....Still. It's nice to be alive, and among friends. even a ragtaggle bunch of misfits like us. ^.^;; Comanche (11:08 pm): (Test) Lani (11:08 pm): Bits: shakes head firmly, looking up your name.... Frosty (11:10 pm): F: Hah. smiles at Sparks, before looking at Bubastis He said Faust's name? Bauks (11:10 pm): N: smiles, just a little ... yeah. Lani (11:10 pm): Bits: hesitate, and then nods slowly Bernard (11:11 pm): F: He's never been able to do anything like that. bites his lip Lani (11:12 pm): Bits: ...whhispers changed.....h-he's scared t-t-too.... Bernard (11:13 pm): Bu: looking like he's scared of all the attention, curled up Dio Cheysa (11:13 pm): (oo so what's going on? Peaches had to leave the other room?) Bauks (11:14 pm): C: heads into the cafe, getting some food Frosty (11:15 pm): (You know what I almost said, Terg?) Frosty (11:15 pm): ("(explains)") Frosty (11:15 pm): (Something tells me that would not have helped) Bernard (11:15 pm): (Immersed gunfox!) Lani (11:15 pm): ((heehee)) Frosty (11:16 pm): (Itemed Cinder!) Lani (11:16 pm): ((You've done that before)) Bernard (11:16 pm): (@@) Lani (11:16 pm): Bits: still petting Bu Dio Cheysa (11:16 pm): (lol) Dio Cheysa (11:16 pm): Cobalt: also in the cafe, sipping on another...water Frosty (11:16 pm): (I know, Shy, I throw items at him all the time) Lani (11:16 pm): ((....that's ot what I meant.)) Frosty (11:16 pm): F: ...maybe he's crowded. Frosty (11:17 pm): F: I think I'll leave you to him, Faust. Comanche (11:17 pm): so, want to pick up where we last left off Terg, with him hunting faceless at night with Dio? Lani (11:17 pm): Bits: consider, and nods, but that's not everything Lani (11:17 pm): ((there is now a new way to cook food! Lani (11:17 pm): by laptop!!)) Bernard (11:18 pm): F: nods, leaning down and picking up Bubastis in his arms, straining a little Bernard (11:18 pm): F: He's gained over a dozen pounds... Bernard (11:19 pm): Bu: seems to relax, at this Lani (11:20 pm): Bits: relaxes a tiny bit herself, glad that Bubastis isn't so upset torn between wanting to stay to make sure he's okay, and wanting to flee from all the people herself! Frosty (11:21 pm): F: heads into the cafe Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): (oo) Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): (it ate my message what) Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): Cobalt: sip water Frosty (11:22 pm): F: G'morning, world. sits at a table, tiredly, after gathering...coffee. Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): she herself is likely on a Faceless hunt, or at least trying to track down where the local Faceless "hive" is gathering, going with Comanche to do so since he has a car Bauks (11:23 pm): N: with Sparks, still Bernard (11:23 pm): F: He must've needed someone he's really used to...it's okay. pets Bu Bauks (11:23 pm): N: ... does it... bother you that I'm carrying this? Lani (11:24 pm): Sk: .....Did I miss something while I was out job-hunting? everyone seems worn out... Bernard (11:24 pm): F: ~What happened to Numl was bad enough...please, not you too.~ Bernard (11:24 pm): F: hugs Bubastis closer Lani (11:24 pm): Sk: Hm? turns attention back to Numl The....knife-sword-thhing? well...as long as it isn't pointed at me, no, not really. Comanche (11:25 pm): Driving around various back alley's near the hotel ...I killed Ryan earlier. Lani (11:25 pm): SK: at leat, not if you have any clue how to use it....my sister carries knives, you know. Two of 'em -- I got 'em for her myself. Bauks (11:25 pm): C: heads over to Frosty, after eating a bit himself Frosty (11:26 pm): (Sorry, totally forgot Lani) Frosty (11:26 pm): E: shake head I'm not afraid of heights... Lani (11:26 pm): Bits: .....worried look at Faust .....? Bauks (11:26 pm): C: Hope Numl still gets along with everyone. Frosty (11:26 pm): F: ...Yeah. I think he will... Bernard (11:26 pm): F: quietly He's trying to fall asleep... Lani (11:28 pm): Well...if someone else comes, and if you don't have a problem with it....the tree is a great place to hide if you don't want to be seen... Frosty (11:28 pm): E: I don't...I shouldn't hide from people. sigh Lani (11:31 pm): Maybe not, but I didn't say anything about that....I said if you wanted. Everyone needs somewhere to go, sometimes, where they can feel safe, or if they just need to be alone. That's all I'm offering. What you do with the offer, well, that's your choice. Either way, it doesn't matter, right now. I can't phase in, and unless you're a pretty crazy jumper you'll have a hard time getting up there. Frosty (11:31 pm): E: Thanks... Bauks (11:31 pm): N: frowns I can't really leave it anywhere. Dio Cheysa (11:32 pm): Good. Frosty (11:33 pm): F: How're we gonna help him? I don't even know where to look. Dio Cheysa (11:33 pm): Cobalt: sip...and listens with her large ears, kind of hard not to overhear things really Bauks (11:33 pm): C: I have no idea. Comanche (11:33 pm): still glancing around his he drives How long do you wager we'll need to wait... Bauks (11:34 pm): C: You were right, though, he never threatened us or anything. Frosty (11:34 pm): F: ~I hope he doesn't have to carry that sword forever. He didn't need it before...~ Frosty (11:34 pm): F: He's...no threat to us. Lani (11:34 pm): Bits: hesitate, and then nod with a small smile, giving Bu a last pet ....h-he did....try to talk.....to faust hurries off Bauks (11:34 pm): C:He... in that form, didn't seem concerned with anything but getting rid of that woman. Frosty (11:35 pm): F: nod Dio Cheysa (11:35 pm): It may take long time to find some... Bauks (11:35 pm): C: And she had it coming.I don't care if she was right about what Numl is. Bernard (11:35 pm): F: ...I believe you. quietly, as Bits leaves Lani (11:36 pm): Bits: hesitates, remembering something, but decides to wait on it, and goes to sit by sparks Comanche (11:36 pm): So we'll just need to sit and wait all night then, finding a spot? Frosty (11:36 pm): F: She wasn't worried about the world. He's not some rampaging monster. She was worried about their own little society. Lani (11:38 pm): Bits: ...small smile for Numl before hiding behind her hair Dio Cheysa (11:39 pm): Sitting, yes. Waiting, no. Keep driving. Bernard (11:39 pm): F: carries a sleeping Bubastis up to his room, then makes his way back downstairs, to the cafe Lani (11:39 pm): Sk: ...that's rather inconvvenient.... Lani (11:39 pm): Sk: hey, Bits, show your knives to Numl.... Comanche (11:39 pm): Drives then ...so do you think Numl will get over what happened? Dio Cheysa (11:40 pm): Who knows? Will depend on his spirit. Dio Cheysa (11:40 pm): leans her head out of her window and an arm too Comanche (11:41 pm): Cruising every back alley and shady spot he can think of Dio Cheysa (11:42 pm): You know these places well. Lani (11:42 pm): Bits: o.0; gets out the one that she has. it's pretty simple, just a long double-edged knife with a sheath that can probably be put in a boot, or up a sleeve, or even against one's back Comanche (11:43 pm): Yep. You come to find where everything is and what happens there Lani (11:43 pm): B: glance at Faust as he re-enters Comanche (11:43 pm): And like they say, nothing good happens after midnight, especially in these parts... Lani (11:43 pm): Sk: huh? ...Mm, good point.....hey, Faust? Bernard (11:43 pm): F: looks over Hm...? Lani (11:44 pm): Sk: You done with my sister's other knife, yet? Bauks (11:44 pm): N: looks at Bits's knife Bauks (11:44 pm): C: earperk Lani (11:44 pm): Sk: she'd kinda like it back.... Frosty (11:44 pm): F: Huh? tilt head Dio Cheysa (11:44 pm): Cobalt: ...perks her ear as well Bauks (11:44 pm): C: glance at Faust ~That knife was hers?~ Bauks (11:44 pm): (... unless they left) Bauks (11:45 pm): (yeah they did.) Bauks (11:45 pm): (nvm that. Frosty (11:45 pm): (<_> ) Bernard (11:45 pm): F: ...um. glances off Bernard (11:45 pm): F: ...I lost it. Lani (11:46 pm): Bits: head jerks up Frosty (11:47 pm): F: sets his phone on the table, searching the internet as he listens Dio Cheysa (11:47 pm): Cobalt: ~All these people talking about...weapons and stuff...I'm not sure if this place is safe if they have to carry all these weapons.~ Bernard (11:47 pm): F: trying not to look at Contrast Lani (11:47 pm): Sk: ....not sure what to say Bernard (11:48 pm): F: bites his lip ...was it important? Dio Cheysa (11:49 pm): something that is not good scurries into the darkness of a nearby alley! Dio Cheysa (11:49 pm): (yowdy there ^^) Ari/Arik (11:49 pm): (hello^^ ) Lani (11:49 pm): Any time, Eve. I'm...going to go back in the tree, now... Comanche (11:50 pm): ...what's that point, then adjusts his spot light on what scurried by as he gets ready to exit his car Lani (11:50 pm): Bits: droop Sk: ...yeah, kinda.... Bauks (11:50 pm): (Contrast isn't there) Dio Cheysa (11:50 pm): (...wait oo; where is he then?) Frosty (11:50 pm): (Where is he?_ Dio Cheysa (11:51 pm): (Cobalt is in the cafe, I thought there were pople in there) Lani (11:51 pm): Sk: I got it for her a while back ((with frosty on the way to the store?)) Frosty (11:51 pm): (There are a lot of pople in there, Terg.) Frosty (11:51 pm): (...frosty left?) Bauks (11:51 pm): (Er...) Bernard (11:51 pm): (o_o) Bauks (11:51 pm): (I was referring to Faust trying not to look at Contrast) Frosty (11:51 pm): (Frosty's in thecafe with Connie o.o) Frosty (11:51 pm): (Right?) Bauks (11:52 pm): (Yes) Lani (11:52 pm): ((yeah, but frosty's with....yeah.)) Lani (11:52 pm): ((that's what I though...)) Frosty (11:52 pm): (That's where Faust and Bits and Sparks are.) Bernard (11:52 pm): (oh, I missed the OOC lines before that) Lani (11:52 pm): ((heh.)) Frosty (11:52 pm): (and even if they were in the lobby, Connie'd be in visual range.) Bernard (11:52 pm): (Wait...he went back to the cafe, Faust did) Frosty (11:52 pm): (Half-wall.) Bauks (11:52 pm): (ROLL CALL WHO'S ALL WHERE) Lani (11:52 pm): ((lani&eve, garden)) Frosty (11:52 pm): (Frosty, with Connie in the cafe. Eve, atrium.) Bauks (11:52 pm): (Numl, Contrast are in the cafe) Dio Cheysa (11:53 pm): Cobalt: in the Cafe Bernard (11:53 pm): (Faust in cafe, Bubastis in room asleep) Dio Cheysa (11:53 pm): Dio: in the car with Comanche Dio Cheysa (11:53 pm): Do not leave the car...let's just drive by, slowly. Ari/Arik (11:53 pm): (weba/hello@shy ) Frosty (11:53 pm): (<3 cars with spotlights) Comanche (11:54 pm): Alright then... doesn't turn the light on and drives slowly by Frosty (11:54 pm): (we used to own a formerly unmarked police car and it had a spotlight...we called it Moses because the traffic parted before us.) Dio Cheysa (11:54 pm): there are things going down the hallway...dark things... shylarah (11:55 pm): (9gaaaah...I lost a bit of it...)) Bernard (11:55 pm): F: thus, is still looking away from Contrast! At the floor shylarah (11:55 pm): ((ah, well.)) Bernard (11:55 pm): F: I'm sorry... Comanche (11:56 pm): (XD) Comanche (11:56 pm): blink Do you see that? Bauks (11:56 pm): (F: I'm sorry... I accidentally the whole knife.) Dio Cheysa (11:56 pm): Yes. Ari/Arik (11:57 pm): (weba) Comanche (11:57 pm): What do you want to do? shylarah (11:57 pm): Sk: ....well, there's not much to be done about it now....I'll just have to find her a new one, I guess.... shylarah (11:58 pm): Bits: pulls her feet onto her chair, and hunches her shoulders. She looks upset Bauks (11:59 pm): C: ~He didn't tell me that wasn't his knife.~ Bernard (11:59 pm): F: I should have taken better care of it... Bauks (12:01 am): C: Well, I'm ready to drive us whenever. Bauks (12:01 am): N: has lost focus, and has gone to looking at his greatknife sadly shylarah (12:01 am): Sk: It'll be alright. She'll just need some time to get over it.... Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): Let's follow...in the car. Bernard (12:03 am): F: sighs Comanche (12:05 am): Alright then... backs up, and slowly drives down the alley way Frosty (12:05 am): (Ack)_ Frosty (12:05 am): (Chat stopped scrolling) Frosty (12:06 am): F: Alright...louder Numl? Dio Cheysa (12:06 am): (laundry) Dio Cheysa (12:06 am): (afk) Bauks (12:06 am): N: looks over shylarah (12:06 am): Sk: pats Faust on the shoulder it happens....maybe it'll turn up sometime later in the week... Bernard (12:07 am): F: Maybe it will. quieter shylarah (12:09 am): Sk: and if not, well, it's rather old....she should probably get ones with grips for adult-sized hands.... Bernard (12:11 am): F: I should get it for her, to make up for that.... Frosty (12:12 am): F: C'mere.

Dio Cheysa (12:17 am): the things have already made their way down the alleyway Dio Cheysa (12:18 am): pounds the outside of the car door with a growl Faster!

Frosty (12:24 am): F: You, Connie, Numl? Dio Cheysa (12:26 am): the alleyway is long and dark, and it leads into a small "clearing" between alleyways - that is filled with people standing around aimlessly, though they all simultaneously look up to see the car, and start jumping out of the way Comanche (12:26 am): looking at the people as he pulls up, flpping on the spot light, preparing to step out, making sure his shot gun is ready Comanche (12:27 am): or rifle rather Bauks (12:27 am): N: nod Bauks (12:27 am): C: Yeah. shylarah (12:28 am): Sk: glances up Have a good day, guys.

Bauks (12:36 am): (Faust is in front shake) Bauks (12:36 am): C: drives off! Frosty (12:36 am): (...?) Frosty (12:36 am): (lolz) Bernard (12:36 am): (@@) shylarah (12:36 am): (((Faust is in the back....)) Bernard (12:36 am): F: in front, and not looking all that comfortable Frosty (12:36 am): (@@) shylarah (12:36 am): ((..or not.)) Frosty (12:36 am): F: Hey, Numl. Frosty (12:36 am): F: show cell phone screen Frosty (12:37 am): F: smartphone, to be accurate Comanche (12:37 am): What are you all here for today? Bauks (12:38 am): N: look Frosty (12:39 am): Screen: showing the webstie of a small business in Sega City, advertising replica midieval gear, props, imitation, custom blades, and relevantly, custom-fitted sheathes for swords, knives, et cetera Dio Cheysa (12:40 am): People: ...faces. Bauks (12:40 am): N: Huh... do you think...? Frosty (12:40 am): Screen: Yeah. Comanche (12:40 am): grab his assault rifle What was that? Dio Cheysa (12:40 am): People: then suddenly they all lose their faces, and the entire area appears to be having frame-skipping problems Comanche (12:41 am): opens fire! Dio Cheysa (12:41 am): (I thought it was a shotgun, not an assault rifle XD; ) Bauks (12:41 am): (N: D= Frosty, your phone talked to me!) Frosty (12:41 am): (XD) Frosty (12:41 am): (I thought it was a patrol rifle. :P) Dio Cheysa (12:42 am): whips her beam halberd up at the nearest Faceless that leaps at her, catching it in the gut with the non-bladed end and swings it around to ram it into another one Dio Cheysa (12:42 am): This is more like in old country! Bauks (12:43 am): N: It'll be expensive... =( Comanche (12:43 am): (I said shotgun at first but remembered he had borrowed an assault rifle* Frosty (12:43 am): F: hugs him Comanche (12:44 am): RIght! firing quickly How do they make things look like that referring to the frame skipping calls for back up too Dio Cheysa (12:44 am): Faceless: there's enough of them that an assault rifle is probably a good idea - many of them are leaping for the walls, crawling up then, and then dropping down from above, their faces stretched into all kinds of horrible teeth, splinters or tentacles Bernard (12:45 am): F: glances in the mirror ~He's a very selfless one.~ Frosty (12:45 am): F: I couldn't have you help out at my shop and do nothing to pay you. Frosty (12:46 am): F: Maybe, if you wore it on your back, your tails could cover it, too. Bauks (12:47 am): N: glances at his tails ... Bauks (12:47 am): N: Tri means three, right... Frosty (12:47 am): F: nod Comanche (12:48 am): How many of these are there! Bauks (12:49 am): N: mumbles Guess that's why my name's... ~Trifecta.~ Dio Cheysa (12:49 am): Enough for hot time in old town tonight! spin spin, thrust, whirlWHACK, thump with her tail that is still invisible to Comanche Frosty (12:49 am): F: ...Your name's Numl. pats his shoulder, sitting back Bauks (12:49 am): N: W... when she said it. "Trifecta." I responded. Dio Cheysa (12:50 am): Faceless: they throw themselves at the two of them...but suddenly they all stop Bauks (12:50 am): N: I never heard that name before and I knew she was talking to me. Dio Cheysa (12:50 am): ???: That, is enough of that, ladies and gentlemen... Dio Cheysa (12:50 am): she growls at the sound of that voice I've heard that voice before! Comanche (12:53 am): What the %%# Turns, looking around* Frosty (12:54 am): F: nods ... Dio Cheysa (12:54 am): ???: a gentlemanly figure steps out of the crowd, which makes way for him - he's wearing a fine long coat with a fedora, gloves and boots, all a bland shade of brown...his face cannot be seen at the moment, but he carries himself with a much more controlled air than that of the monstrosities around them Dio Cheysa (12:54 am): That man... Frosty (12:54 am): (It ate it when I said that before c_c) Frosty (12:54 am): F: But that doesn't mean you're not Numl. shylarah (12:55 am): (((it can shylarah (12:55 am): ((x that)) Comanche (12:55 am): Who are you? Identify yourself! holding his weapon ready Bernard (12:55 am): F: Frosty is right. Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): ???: You heard the lady. I am... Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): That Man. Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): That Man: Not this man, or that woman...That Man. shylarah (12:56 am): ((....cracks up shylarah (12:56 am): )) Bauks (12:56 am): N: I'm both. Comanche (12:56 am): Dull name. (Commie: Oh, the same That Man that created the Gears and Magic? oo) Dio Cheysa (12:57 am): (That Man: ...you poor confused boy, being both lady and man at the same time) Frosty (12:57 am): (XD) Bauks (12:57 am): (Terg recently played Bridget's story mode in Guilty Gear...) Dio Cheysa (12:58 am): (actually, nope) Dio Cheysa (12:58 am): (I haven't played ANY GG story modes, like, ever) Bauks (12:58 am): (o o) Dio Cheysa (12:58 am): (I just like the whole "That Man" thing) Dio Cheysa (12:58 am): (and just randomly came up with this thing now) Bauks (12:58 am): (and are aware of Bridget <__< ) Bauks (12:58 am): (Well, Terg) shylarah (12:58 am): ((o.<)) Dio Cheysa (12:58 am): That Man: Well, Mr. Comanche, that is rather rude. Bauks (12:59 am): (Get GGXX from that site I showed you.) Bernard (12:59 am): (o_o) shylarah (12:59 am): ((what?)) Dio Cheysa (12:59 am): (I did!) Frosty (12:59 am): (shake) Dio Cheysa (12:59 am): (and I just said that thing because Numl is like "I'm both!" right after That Man explained himself) Bauks (12:59 am): (Play the story modes in it! stops talking about GG now) Frosty (1:00 am): F: There, the shop is right up there. Comanche (1:00 am): ....how do you know my name blink Frosty (1:00 am): F: At lunch I'll take you to this guy's shop, okay? Bauks (1:00 am): N: smiles Dio Cheysa (1:01 am): That Man: The same way I know everyone's name. Because they found them for me. gestures to the remaining Faceless on either side of himself Dio Cheysa (1:01 am): That Man: Long time no see, Miss Cheysa. I am terribly sorry you came all this way, and I was not able to welcome you properly sooner than this. Comanche (1:01 am): What's the point of those things! Still holding his weapon ready I demand an explanation and hopefully a quick one shylarah (1:02 am): ((...does That Man know Isha's name?)) shylarah (1:02 am): ((that could befun...)) Dio Cheysa (1:03 am): That Man: I know everyone's name. strange, he's talking to...midair? Dio Cheysa (1:03 am): That Man: Oh, sorry, I was talking to someone you can't see... shylarah (1:04 am): ((....what?!)) Comanche (1:04 am): I tire of playing games here... Dio Cheysa (1:04 am): That Man: Don't be so hasty, dear sir - the explanation is forthcoming. Dio Cheysa (1:04 am): That Man: Although I do wish that woman would be quiet when I'm trying to explain. Dio Cheysa (1:05 am): That Man: Anyway...it's simple. I bring the Faceless to new places, and they collect knowledge for me. The knowledge of a world. Bauks (1:05 am): C: reaches Frost'ys store Bauks (1:05 am): C: parks, gets out, and heads in Frosty (1:06 am): F: heads in shylarah (1:06 am): ((......can't help laughing ah, ah. Isha's name isn't know, even to her. Someone chose erm, not Isha, Lani. sorry....someone chose "Lani" as her name....)) Bernard (1:06 am): F: heads in Comanche (1:06 am): And destroy the lives of people in the process?! The ends do not justify the means now do they! Dio Cheysa (1:07 am): That Man: Oh, Someone, I know him too. Dio Cheysa (1:08 am): That Man: Well, if it's all the same to you, the Faceless were just eating people before. Now they are being useful. Frosty (1:08 am): F: Connie, Faust tried to steal my seat. For that, don't ell him about the traps in the storeroom. Dio Cheysa (1:08 am): That Man: And there is the combined knowledge of fifteen different worlds in this noggin of mine...points to his head shylarah (1:08 am): ((.....this is hilarious, Terg.)) Comanche (1:08 am): And how many people you've ruined? shylarah (1:09 am): ((....so what's Lani's name, then?!)) Frosty (1:09 am): F: kneel down, whsiper to Numl There are no traps in the storeroom. Pretend like I told you that there are. nod Bauks (1:09 am): N: blinks, nods Frosty (1:09 am): (XD) Bernard (1:09 am): F: Hah... manages a little smile Frosty (1:10 am): F: Don't worry, it's mostly just nets and tasers. Dio Cheysa (1:12 am): That Man: Pshaw! I won't even answer that question! It's ridiculous! Dio Cheysa (1:12 am): (interesting how he answered two questions that way XD; ) shylarah (1:13 am): ((of course you won't. even I haven't chosen her name yet. She is, truely, without name.)) shylarah (1:13 am): ((truly)) Frosty* (1:13 am): (shake) shylarah (1:13 am): ((what?)) Bernard (1:13 am): F: I'd better stay out of the storeroom then. Bauks (1:13 am): (We get it) Bauks (1:13 am): (c__c) Comanche (1:13 am): ...so get to the point. Going to take these things away then? Dio Cheysa (1:14 am): That Man: Besides, they and all they are, are preserved forever in my head...so why should indeed we shake people for merely discussing the names of the nameless? shylarah (1:14 am): ((and isn't it a bit odd to have a character that can hear OCC chatter? o.0;; )) Dio Cheysa (1:14 am): That Man: As for you two...points at Dio and Comanche with a cane that he didn't have before Frosty (1:14 am): (It's been done before actually. It was hilarious last time, too) Dio Cheysa (1:15 am): That Man: I'll give you a simple warning - if you do not wish to die, then leave this world immediately. The Faceless have multiplied rapidly, and it is only with great effort - and insufferable patience at the voices in my head - that I can hold them back from you for even a short while! shylarah (1:17 am): ((It has? really? alright, this is ridiculous. But it's awesome that we can torture him. ^.^ and ...oh! I just figured out what her name's gonna have been. so HA!)) shylarah (1:17 am): ((writes it down)) Comanche* (1:18 am): I'm gonna call your bluff opens fire on That Man Dio Cheysa (1:18 am): That Man: Or is it I that is doing the torturing? Am I the created, or the creator? And-interrupted by both Comanche's bullet and Dio's beam halberd, both of which he catches on the shaft of the cane Ah ah ah! Now that's rather unsporting! Comanche (1:21 am): You don't sound like the type to play fair... Dio Cheysa (1:22 am): That Man: All right, sic 'em! and suddenly the Faceless are descending in a wave upon them Dio Cheysa (1:22 am): That Man: and he steps backward, calmly whistling "Singin' in the Rain" as he walks away Frosty (1:22 am): F: presumably headed into and opened his shop Dio Cheysa (1:22 am): GET BACK HERE! MOTHER OF EELS! SON OF STURGEON! YOU KILLED MY WORLD, I KILL YOU!! Bernard (1:22 am): (They all headed in o.o) Comanche (1:23 am): opens fire on the faceless then! Come back you coward! Frosty (1:23 am): (I know, but they didn't do anything to open the shop :P) Bernard (1:23 am): (Ahh right) Dio Cheysa (1:23 am): is slashing, crushing, slamming her way through the crowd, enraged past nearly anything Comanche has seen before - and as the Faceless swarm over her, her disguise starts fading out, and she whirls around in a fury, biting Bauks (1:25 am): C: helping Frosty open up for the day Comanche (1:25 am): Dio! Be Careful! trying to fire at those near her without hitting her Bauks (1:25 am): N: pointedly avoiding the storeroom Bauks (1:25 am): N: he's put the sword down behind the counter, looking at this or that Bernard (1:26 am): F: went to the storeroom, out of curiosity Dio Cheysa (1:26 am): That Man: Don't die yet! We haven't gotten to the end of this story~ and his voice fades as he moonwalks backward into the darkness, and fades away Frosty (1:26 am): F: slips into the storeroom Frosty (1:27 am): F: He's grabbed a gadget off a shelf... Bernard (1:28 am): F: doesn't immediately notice, curiously looking at things Comanche (1:28 am): ~I'm going to kill him when I get the chance... just watch~ growls as he needs to reload, ducking down out of the way Dio Cheysa (1:30 am): Faceless: swarm swarm swarm...then they all pull back, and away, crawling over the buildings, sweeping away until the frame-skipping ends and everything is back to normal Dio Cheysa (1:30 am): NO! slams her fist into a nearby brick wall, panting with rage, her tail thrashing behind her - her holocloak has disengaged, and she doesn't seem to care at all Dio Cheysa (1:30 am): That man... Dio Cheysa (1:30 am): He was so close! Comanche (1:31 am): ....Where did they all go? Frosty (1:31 am): F: Don't touch that, Faust! Frosty (1:31 am): F: suddenly! Bernard (1:32 am): F: freezes, turning Ah...! Frosty (1:32 am): F: reaches behind a box on a shelf, hiding the gadget he took, but looking like he's playing with something If you touched that... Bernard (1:33 am): F: looks at him, tilting his head I was being quite careful... Bauks (1:33 am): N: peeks into the storeroom Frosty (1:34 am): F: Yeah, but without me here to disable it...shakes his head, pulling his now-empty hands back Frosty (1:34 am): F: You should be more careful. Dio Cheysa (1:34 am): Grah! Doesn't matter! Now they won't be here again for long time! Bernard (1:34 am): F: approaches him What would happen?> Frosty (1:35 am): F: intentionally acting less-than-believable. He's just messing with Faust, surely. Frosty (1:35 am): F: It would be bad. nod Bernard (1:35 am): F: I think you're bluffing. crosses his arms Comanche (1:36 am): What about That Man... Comanche (1:36 am): It's like he was toying with us! a bit a snarl there perhaps? Frosty (1:36 am): F: Fine, fine. Sure. I don't have any traps. Nope. Nohing whatsoever that you might accidentally trigger. Go ahead, look arounnd the storeroom. nods, quickly leaving Bernard (1:38 am): F: glances around for a moment Dio Cheysa (1:39 am): Comanche hasn't seen her before in her full sharky humanoid form, has he? Frosty (1:40 am): F: Guys, cover your ears, he's gonna trigger it. loudly enough for Faust to hear...obviously intended to be such Comanche (1:40 am): nope! Comanche (1:40 am): glance at dio ... shylarah (1:40 am): ((giggle)) Bernard (1:40 am): F: cover ears!] Frosty (1:41 am): F: glances back into the storeroom, then starts to snicker Dio Cheysa (1:41 am): well now he is! Frosty (1:45 am): (test) Bauks (1:46 am): (pass) Comanche (1:46 am): blink Um Dio, ready to head back to my car? Bernard (1:48 am): F: wanders around the storeroom Hmm. I do hope Frosty was telling the truth. Frosty (1:48 am): F: back in the front of the store, he picks up another gadget - a remote Dio Cheysa (1:48 am): snorts and grumbles as she turns and stalks to the car Next time... shylarah (1:49 am): ((ohnoes.)) Dio Cheysa (1:49 am): (Sharks in a Car!) Comanche (1:49 am): (XD) Comanche (1:50 am): gets in the car, blinking as Dio Shark gets in Bernard (1:51 am): F: starts to head out of the storeroom Dio Cheysa (1:51 am): she's still kind of cute for a shark, though maybe Comanche doesn't see it that way XD; Frosty (1:52 am): F: press button - an dht estoreroom is pierced by a very, very loud* wail* Frosty (1:52 am): the sort of volume you don't want to hang around without ear protection shylarah (1:52 am): ((owwies!)) Bernard (1:52 am): F: Aaah! bolts out of the storeroom, covering ears Comanche (1:52 am): looking mainly at the teeth >> Bauks (1:52 am): N: cover ears! Bauks (1:52 am): C: stumbles away from the storeroom, covering his own - he looks rather pained Bauks (1:53 am): C: >____< Frosty (1:53 am): F: holds the remote behind the counter, out of sightears fold back it shuts up Bernard (1:53 am): F: >_< Frosty (1:54 am): there IS a wall between the storeroom and shop. It's uncomfortably loud in the shop, but not painful. Well, it might still be painful to Connie. Bauks (1:54 am): C: Y'shoulda told me to weaken my hearing! >___O Frosty (1:54 am): F: drop remotefold arms See what happens, Faust? Bauks (1:54 am): C: Ow ow ow...

Frosty (1:56 am): F: You'll be fine... Frosty (1:57 am): F: You might notice you can't hear high notes anymore, but don't worry, I sell some pretty cool hearing enhancers. Almost totally invisible. Frosty (1:57 am): F: probably bluffing... Bauks (1:58 am): C: O Bauks (1:58 am): ( D: ) shylarah (1:58 am): ((no, actually, he may be bluffing, but that is actually true.)) Bauks (1:59 am): (If you point out extremely loud sounds can cause hearing trouble) Bauks (1:59 am): (I am going to shake you) Frosty (1:59 am): (...) Frosty (1:59 am): (Shake her.)

Let your defenses down and you might hit it off with him. ~Heck, he wasn't interested in me~ Contrast (9:50 pm): N: I... it'd be easier than you buying something, and this thing is so huge it'd be hard to take it out anyways. Frosty (9:50 pm): F: tilt head How's it going? Dio Cheysa (9:50 pm): Cobalt: Eh, cute, huh? What is he, a wooly mammoth? Contrast (9:51 pm): N: It's getting easier. ... Indigo Kitsune (9:51 pm): El Gato: Looking for Faust again? Sasha Newberg (9:51 pm): a black-furred fox with some gray secondary walks into Frosty's shop shylarah (9:51 pm): Ro: smell for the scent of fire or the scent of bread Contrast (9:51 pm): N: How heavy is it anyways, I wonder...? I know it should be too much for me, but I can't really tell. Frosty (9:51 pm): F: Good luck. I'd hate to see a two-tailed Numl. smiles, messing with his headfur Indigo Kitsune (9:51 pm): Indy: Nah, he's a fox. But he's... adaprtable, and he's ready for anything. Frosty (9:51 pm): F: We'll get a scale and measure it. nod Contrast (9:52 pm): N: grins shylarah (9:52 pm): Ro: ~honestly, who would leave a /note/....?~ x.x Indigo Kitsune (9:52 pm): Indy: Gazes at nothing for a while Dio Cheysa (9:52 pm): Cobalt: ...do you like him? Frosty (9:53 pm): F: When you're done with that, can you sort these boxes out? A few are shipments for customers, just put them on that shelf. point Sasha Newberg (9:53 pm): she's dressed in some pretty nice clothing, and looks slim but athletic...she has the body of a dancer, it could be best described as Indigo Kitsune (9:53 pm): Meanwhile, a blue fox with a goatee and the same build as Frosty walks into the cafe! shylarah (9:54 pm): Ro: ears up; head up looks Comanche (9:54 pm): turn to face the blue fox; he's a male in his late 20s, in a police uniform Hey there... Indigo Kitsune (9:54 pm): The fox has a distinct swagger, and is tipping over cutlery HA! shylarah (9:54 pm): Ro: Either you're doing a poor imitation of someone I know, or you have really fast-growing facial hair. Sasha Newberg (9:55 pm): walks up to the front desk, waiting there patiently Indigo Kitsune (9:55 pm): Indy: I like him a lot... but we are just friends Indigo Kitsune (9:56 pm): Fox: Tips the pancakes over HA! MUHAHAHA! shylarah (9:57 pm): Ro: yowl That's not polite! At least, not in most places! Dio Cheysa (9:57 pm): Cobalt: Oh. Okay. So if I did move in on him, it wouldn't cause any trouble? Or does he have a girlfriend I should know about? Dio Cheysa (9:57 pm): she, meanwhile, walks into the cafe Dio Cheysa (9:57 pm): Bartender! shylarah (9:57 pm): ((...gigglesnort)) Comanche (9:57 pm): Uh, what are you doing? at the Fox shylarah (9:58 pm): Ro: 'ey, Dio? I think we have an imposter.... Dio Cheysa (9:58 pm): I wish for a-EELS AND OCTOPI WHO MADE THIS MESS?! Dio Cheysa (9:58 pm): Bartender: comes out with a plate of eels and octopi shylarah (9:58 pm): Ro: A liar, I think, though perhaps not. Contrast (9:58 pm): N: nods I'll get right on it... puts the sword down, leaving it in the storeroom Indigo Kitsune (9:58 pm): Indy: ...no, I don't think so... Thumbs the hilt of his sword for comfort, looking away Frosty (9:59 pm): F: Thanks, kid. smiles, heading back into the front of the shop shylarah (9:59 pm): Ro: we seem to be having imposter problems, though it may be that people are having identitiy problems....which would be ironic, considering what's been goiing on lately. Frosty (9:59 pm): F: ...Sasha! smile Indigo Kitsune (9:59 pm): Fox: I am Slushy! And I am your bane! make everybody in the room's drinks just a degree below comfortable and flees Sasha Newberg (10:00 pm): Frosty. nods in greeting, slighty smiling Comanche (10:00 pm): *blinkblink Any idea who that was? Frosty (10:00 pm): F: The laser you ordered just came in this morning. Contrast (10:00 pm): N: moving boxes, hefting them up onto shelves Dio Cheysa (10:01 pm): Cobalt: Okay. But, I dunno if I'd like a fox anyway. Bunnies and foxes haven't exactly had the best history together...no offense, Blue. shylarah (10:01 pm): Ro: It might be the same person as tried to pass himself off as Catty the other day. Or perhaps someone else.....I do not know. Sasha Newberg (10:02 pm): I'd hoped it would. Can I see it? Frosty (10:03 pm): F: nods I'll get it, wait just a second...heada back to the storeroom, just poking his head in Numl, did you see a box marked Sasha Newberg? Contrast (10:03 pm): C: looking at Sasha from a distance ~Hello...~ Comanche (10:03 pm): They're being a nuisance, that is fore sure... Glance at Dio How are you? Indigo Kitsune (10:03 pm): Indy: Blue? Chuckles Oh, foxes and bunnies can get on just fine, hun. Smiles Contrast (10:03 pm): N: blinks Yeah, right here! gets it and carries it over Sasha Newberg (10:04 pm): looks at the box, seeming eager to get her hands on it Dio Cheysa (10:04 pm): Cobalt: is blue herself - maybe she's chumming with Indigo because of that commonality? Eh, I'll believe it if I see him and think "Wow, that's a fox I'd love to trot!" Frosty (10:04 pm): F: The light-blue fox takes the box, walking it to Sasha. Inside is a large laser, about the size of an ordinary flashlight. Indigo Kitsune (10:05 pm): Indy: Oh trust me hun, you'd wanna pounce him. Growls to himself and blows hia fringe out of his eyes as he enters the shop. Contrast* (10:05 pm): N: heads out of the storeroom, watching Sasha with the box Frosty (10:05 pm): F: looks up at the door opening Hey, Indy, uh.. ...just nods at Cobalt Indigo Kitsune (10:06 pm): I: Waves to Cobolt Frosty (10:07 pm): F: looks at Sasha, before holding up a piece of paper Point it at this.* Indigo Kitsune (10:07 pm): (Bry-dawg!) Frosty (10:07 pm): (no ) Sasha Newberg* (10:07 pm): doesn't pay others in the store much mind, opening up the box and taking the laser out shylarah (10:07 pm): ((....I was PRECISELY on time. he had jsut closed it. ^.^:; )) Ash Fox (10:07 pm): (Crimblebun!) Sasha Newberg (10:08 pm): fiddles with it for a moment, before aiming it at the paper and shining it Frosty (10:08 pm): it takes a second, but the laser burns a hole in the paper. Contrast (10:09 pm): N: o__o Frosty (10:09 pm): It has a green beam that's just slightly visible in air. Contrast (10:09 pm): N: Cool. Sasha Newberg (10:09 pm): Ah, this is just what I was looking for. sets it down in the box again, carefully Frosty (10:09 pm): F: smirks I don't suppose I have to tell you the safety warnings. What's it for, anyway? Dio Cheysa (10:10 pm): Cobalt: waves back to Indigo as she comes into the store Uh, hey...~Is that the fox? Huh...not too bad looking, but not exactly what I'm looking for...~ Frosty (10:10 pm): F: hands the paper to Numl Dio Cheysa (10:10 pm): Cobalt: then she turns and her ears wiggle a bit in consternation ~Hubba hubba!~ Indigo Kitsune (10:11 pm): (Brb) Contrast (10:11 pm): N: looks at it Sasha Newberg (10:12 pm): I like collecting such things. Fascinating devices. closes the box Frosty (10:12 pm): Paper: has a small hole burned in it, of course Frosty (10:12 pm): F: Ha. That's why I love open display items. nod Frosty (10:13 pm): F: Was that all you were looking for today? Contrast (10:13 pm): N: ~I want one.~ Sasha Newberg (10:13 pm): Yes, unless you've new items since my last visit. glances around Comanche (10:13 pm): (brb) Frosty (10:14 pm): F: I have the new series of NVGs in. Dio Cheysa (10:14 pm): Cobalt: to be precise, that was her reaction to seeing Contrast bending over to pick up a box or something Sasha Newberg (10:14 pm): has a very proper accent...seems like an attractive rich type overall, really Sasha Newberg (10:14 pm): Can I see them? Contrast (10:15 pm): C: seems skeptical of Sasha, he's gone to keep himself occupied with something else Sasha Newberg (10:15 pm): (actually) Sasha Newberg (10:15 pm): (May I) Frosty* (10:15 pm): F: Of course. nod I was gonna break a box open for a display anyway. heads into the storeroom Contrast (10:16 pm): N: I'll get it! Indigo Kitsune (10:16 pm): El Gato: Still looking for Faust Contrast (10:16 pm): N: hurries inside before Frosty gets there ~I know where they're at too...~ Frosty (10:16 pm): F: blinks Thanks. Dio Cheysa (10:16 pm): Cobalt: a bit flustered from her tough girl routine Uh, hey, what's this store...about? looks around Frosty (10:16 pm): F: smiles at him before walking back to Sasha Frosty (10:16 pm): F: Indy, what brings you here? Sasha Newberg (10:17 pm): F: has been in his room quite a lot lately Sasha Newberg (10:17 pm): F: thus, is probably there Contrast (10:17 pm): N: He comes back out, opening the box cafefully as he walks over to Sasha, holding out the NVGs Indigo Kitsune (10:17 pm): I: I just came into say hi, but this lady here may be interested in something... Sasha Newberg (10:17 pm): Hired a new worker, I see? Contrast (10:17 pm): N: o.o Sasha Newberg (10:17 pm): holds her hands out for them Contrast (10:17 pm): N: I'm volunteering. nods Contrast (10:17 pm): N: give Frosty (10:18 pm): F: nods Numl, this is Sasha, She's a regular customer. nod Sasha Newberg (10:18 pm): Ah...nice of you, boy. takes them, looking them over Comanche (10:18 pm): (back) shylarah (10:18 pm): ((weeba)) Frosty (10:19 pm): F: You can turn the lights off in the storeroom if you want to try it. There should be batteries in the box. Contrast (10:19 pm): N: hands over batteries Sasha Newberg (10:19 pm): puts them on her head, not turning them on They are a nice fit. Contrast (10:20 pm): C: ~Numl's sure eager to please.~ Sasha Newberg (10:20 pm): I think I will...thank you. takes the batteries, heading back to the storeroom Dio Cheysa (10:20 pm): Cobalt: idly looks at a case of guns, though she steals another glance toward Contrast - what IS Contrast right now, anyway? Comanche (10:21 pm): I've gotten no new leads on anywhere That Man could have gone, Dio. Frosty (10:21 pm): F: either of you want a soda? to Indy and Cobalt Frosty (10:22 pm): F: reaches under the counter, producing a soda and starting to chill it Contrast (10:22 pm): C: Let's say he's his usual border collie male self Dio Cheysa (10:23 pm): Cobalt: Uh, sure, what kind? You got any grape? Indigo Kitsune (10:23 pm): Meanwhile, to give Comanche something to do on other crimes, forensics have reported that the prints on both cards for the diamond theft and the car, are from feathers of the Phoenicopteridae family Dio Cheysa (10:23 pm): and gah, forgot about Dio entirely shylarah (10:23 pm): ((....oh gods.)) Dio Cheysa (10:23 pm): TT I will catch that man and then I will chop him and mince him and make him into a PIE! Indigo Kitsune (10:24 pm): Indy: Just water, if that's okay, Frosty? Frosty (10:24 pm): F: Sure, Indy. hands him a cool bottle of water, and looks at Cobalt Sorry, just cola. Dio Cheysa (10:24 pm): rant a bit Frosty (10:24 pm): The new NVGs have much better resolution, and a new mode where a computer fills in false color instead of just faded green and gray. shylarah (10:24 pm): Ro: ...I do not think that would be a pie worth eating, Dio. I mean, I suppose you could, if you wished, but...it might be unwise....or not. I couldn't say... Dio Cheysa (10:24 pm): Cobalt: Eh, it'll do. Uh...why are you holding onto the drink like that? (is he holding onto the drinks to chill them?) Frosty (10:25 pm): It makes the world - or at least the storeroom - look kind of plasticy and oddly artificial, but it's in color! Indigo Kitsune (10:25 pm): Indy: Sips water and leaves Cobe to Frosty Frosty (10:25 pm): (Yeah) Dio Cheysa (10:25 pm): It is a pie for throwing in someone's face, not for eating! Frosty (10:25 pm): F: To get them cold. nods, setting it on the counter What's your name? Comanche (10:25 pm): Also, forensics got back to me on the fiinger prints of the cards left by that thief... he or she is a flamingo Dio Cheysa (10:25 pm): Cobalt: Cobalt. You're Frosty, then...and that's why you're named that. Sasha Newberg (10:25 pm): switches them off, then exits the storeroom after turning the lights back on, pulling off the goggles Dio Cheysa (10:26 pm): ...Flamingo? Dio Cheysa (10:26 pm): El Gato! Sasha Newberg (10:26 pm): I think I'll be having a set of these, Frosty. Frosty (10:26 pm): F: It's not a terribly original nickname. smiles, turning back to Sasha Oh? Dio Cheysa (10:26 pm): (gotta go afk for a while - meantime, hey Zero, you having fun watching?) Ash Fox (10:27 pm): ???: Another customer enters Frosty's store. She's human-looking, about 5'4" tall with a friendly-looking face and light blue coloured eyes. She's dressed mostly in pale white and blue clothing which almost looks a size too big for her. Her hair is a natural blonde with faint hints of blue at the ends Comanche (10:27 pm): Possibly, I need to question him, that's for sure Frosty (10:27 pm): F: They go for $450 MSRP... Frosty (10:27 pm): F: Hi, Vivienne. Indigo Kitsune (10:27 pm): Indy: Welcomes the newcomer, playing with some goggles Ash Fox (10:27 pm): ???: Smiles at Frosty Hello! Indigo Kitsune (10:28 pm): El Gato: Is in the swimming pool, stading on one leg Ash Fox (10:28 pm): Vivienne: Mr Archibald sent me to collect his order... he tells me he got a confirmation of delivery a day or two ago. Comanche (10:29 pm): In fact, I should do that now. stand, and starts to walk around the downstairs of the hotel to see if he can spot him, which leads him to the pool Sasha Newberg (10:29 pm): That's fine. digs through her purse, after setting the goggles down Frosty (10:29 pm): F: Oh, yeah, it's in the back. Left shelf, bottom rack, has his name on it. Ash Fox (10:30 pm): Vivienne: Ah, excellent. =) Indigo Kitsune (10:30 pm): EG: Pays no attention to anybody entering unless it's his "Lil' Hombre" Frosty* (10:30 pm): F: doesn't seem to mind regular customers being in his store room Ash Fox (10:30 pm): Vivienne: I'll help myself then. ^^ Frosty (10:30 pm): F: looks at Sasha The false-color mode is pretty smooth, but the battery life with it on is only a few hours. Frosty (10:31 pm): F: nods to Vivienne ~Busy today...~ Sasha Newberg (10:31 pm): seems to think to herself, at that Ash Fox (10:31 pm): Vivienne: Heads quietly into the storeroom, lookign around for the package in question Sasha Newberg (10:31 pm): That's enough time. Contrast (10:31 pm): C: ~Regulars, eh?~ Contrast (10:31 pm): N: Numl's Great Knife is lying on the floor in there Frosty (10:31 pm): The package in question is in the indicated place. The labels are all facing outwards to make them easy to find. Frosty (10:32 pm): F: nods With it off, the battery life is a lot better. You'll love it. Sasha Newberg (10:32 pm): pulls out a card to pay for it I'll have this too, then. Comanche (10:32 pm): Excuse me there to El Gato Frosty (10:33 pm): F: takes it when offered, swiping it That's the laser, shipping, the NVGs...Interested in anything else, Sasha? Indigo Kitsune (10:33 pm): EG: Looks over to Comance, putting down his other lef Si? Sasha Newberg (10:33 pm): Not in this store. shakes her head Ash Fox (10:33 pm): Viv: Locates the package. It's about the size you'd expect of a box if it had an old CRT computer monitor in it Sasha Newberg (10:34 pm): I'm looking for a new home, but if I'm not mistaken, you don't sell those. smirks slightly Frosty (10:34 pm): F: Only the equipment to secure it. nod I live in a hotel, myself - the new one that opened just recently? Ash Fox (10:35 pm): Viv: Ah, here it is. Master will be most pleased. ^^ Hefts the package ...hngyuuu~! Contrast (10:35 pm): N: earperk I'm living there too. Comanche (10:35 pm): Do you know anything about the theft of a vehicle and some personal items here the other day, or the theft of a diamond? Contrast (10:35 pm): N: It's pretty nice... Sasha Newberg (10:35 pm): Oh? gives Numl a look, then back to Frosty Frosty (10:36 pm): F: They have residential rooms. It's a lot cheaper than a comparable apartment. smile In fact...~Everyone here lives there.~ glances around at everyone Sasha Newberg (10:37 pm): Where is this hotel? interested, so far Indigo Kitsune (10:37 pm): EG: Since he is wearing a mask, his expression is hard to read, but seems to be incredulous Si? El Gato heard about that, his lil' hombre was victimised... Frosty (10:37 pm): F: Walking distance. Six blocks down that way. point Sasha Newberg (10:37 pm): (brb) Silver (10:37 pm): [Okay here now x_X] shylarah (10:38 pm): ((yayz!)) shylarah (10:38 pm): (((glomp)) Comanche (10:38 pm): We have reason to believe you are a suspect. I'd be interested in taking you to the station for questioning and a finger printing Ash Fox (10:39 pm): Viv: Manages to bring the package out of the storeroom and set it down on the counter, assuming there's space. If there isn't, she patiently waits her turn Silver (10:39 pm): Currently heading into the garden after having gotten something eat Frosty (10:39 pm): There's space! Contrast (10:40 pm): N: You should come look... Indigo Kitsune (10:40 pm): EG: You dare to insinuate El Gato, Hero of the people would do such a thing? Even to his lil' hombre? His student? Frosty (10:40 pm): F: That'll be [whatever price was agreed upon previously], Viv. How is Mr. Archibald doing? shylarah (10:40 pm): L: not immediately visible Sasha Newberg (10:40 pm): (back) ZER0 (10:41 pm): Ooc: Not that anyone cares but I need to get offline soon. shylarah (10:41 pm): ((....cares!)) shylarah (10:41 pm): ((don't forget to work on the profile! glomp)) Ash Fox (10:42 pm): Viv: Pulls out a small purse from a pocket somewhere on her person Ahh, Master has been quite busy of late.

Sasha Newberg (10:43 pm): Ah, well, if it's that close, I suppose I'll stop by. Ash Fox (10:43 pm): Megatron: Yessssssss) shylarah (10:43 pm): (...good point...maybe I should start doing that...)) Indigo Kitsune (10:43 pm): El Gato: Folds his wings, offended This is a great insult to El Gato. shylarah (10:43 pm): ((Only you're gonna end up with set brackets, I warn you...)) Frosty (10:44 pm): F: looks at Sasha We're closing pretty soon. We can meet you there. nod Ash Fox (10:44 pm): Viv: Although just recently I did also have to assist him for several long hours with some maintenance work. Sasha Newberg (10:45 pm): Well. If you're closing soon, I can follow you there. Frosty (10:45 pm): F: looks at Viv I see. Sasha Newberg (10:45 pm): I'll just fiddle with my new gadgets, and look around some more. Frosty (10:45 pm): F: Make yourself comfortable, Sasha. smiles Do you want anything to drink?

Frosty (10:46 pm): F: earperk Sasha Newberg (10:46 pm): Certainly. smiles back shylarah (10:46 pm): L: still not doing all that well, but not as bad as she was right after getting stabbed Comanche (10:46 pm): I'm sorry that is the case. Ash Fox (10:46 pm): Viv: He did ask me if I could perhaps see about... you know... trying to lower the price of his order, by maybe employing some underhand means... Ash Fox (10:47 pm): Viv: But, I told him plainly I would not do such a thing. Beams Frosty (10:47 pm): F: smirk Well, how much did he want to pay? Comanche (10:47 pm): But you will need to meet me tomorrow at the station tomorrow. Frosty (10:47 pm): F: handles another drink, bottled water, for a minute Silver (10:47 pm): looks around the garden some before spotting Lani in a tree waves! Indigo Kitsune (10:47 pm): EG: Well then, let this insult to El Gato's honour be known, but he shall co-operate. Silver (10:48 pm): [the tree, I should say] Ash Fox* (10:48 pm): Viv: Ahhh... well, he said something along the lines of... well... reluctantly About 400 less than previously agreed... Comanche (10:49 pm): Very well then sir. In fact, with your permission, I can finger print you now. Indigo Kitsune (10:49 pm): EG: El Gato only has lil' hombre to meet, he wishes to cooperate swiftly, if possible. El Gato does not wish to be kept waiting. Frosty (10:49 pm): F: Ah, but I must make a profit somehow, yeah? I could give him...100 off. nod shylarah (10:49 pm): L: looks down, and smiles, though it's not as bright a smile as it could be Silver -- it's been a while....

Uhm, well... if it's only that much he may think I did not try hard enough... Lokks at the floor sadly Frosty (10:51 pm): F: Smiles 150, then, but only because he sent his best assistant. nod Contrast (10:51 pm): C: ~Oh wow.~ Contrast (10:51 pm): C: ~Ah well...~ Sasha Newberg (10:51 pm): sips it, as she starts walking around the store, looking at things Silver (10:51 pm): Yeah, I had something I had to do... everything okay?

Ash Fox (10:52 pm): Viv: Looks back up at him, almost looking embarrassed Sir, you are really too kind, especially to compliment me so! Ash Fox (10:52 pm): Viv: I should be able to persuade him I tried my best, at that. Contrast (10:52 pm): C: ~What's with that girl...~ Indigo Kitsune (10:52 pm): EG: With a certain amount of dignity and distain, he does so Frosty (10:53 pm): F: Alright, then. lowers the price as appropriate Comanche (10:53 pm): finishes Thank you sir. Anything else I can do for you? shylarah (10:53 pm): L: "lands", though she's not quite on the right level -- about half an inch too high, in fact Well....You must have noticed what happened to Numl's room, yes? Ash Fox (10:54 pm): Viv: Opens her purse and removes a bank card of some description, nodding Indigo Kitsune (10:54 pm): El Gato: El Gato Guitar would ask if you have seen his lil' hombre, his protoge? Frosty (10:54 pm): F: arranges the transaction, then hands the card back to Viv Give my regards to Mr. Archibald, please. Silver (10:54 pm): [Actually, I have no idea what happened. Someone explain? c_c] shylarah (10:54 pm): L: He was kidnapped -- by his own mother! WEll, at her order, actually... Comanche (10:54 pm): Nope sir, sorry.

Puts the card and her purse away Contrast (10:56 pm): C: to Sasha You're one of Frosty's regulars, then, huh? Ash Fox (10:56 pm): Viv: Carefully picks the heavy-looking box up again Indigo Kitsune (10:56 pm): EG: Ah well, if you see him, tell him that I am ready for lesson's tres and quatre? Contrast (10:56 pm): C: If you're considering moving into the hotel I may as well say hi. extends a hand Contrast. shylarah (10:56 pm): L: Roy's dead...and he was right, the Solarologists are not what they seem....Numl seems to have something different about him, too, but I can't tell if it's because of them, or if it was alway there. Comanche (10:56 pm): Sure thing nod, walk off Sasha Newberg (10:56 pm): looking at some small button-sized cameras, she looks over Yes, I am... shylarah (10:56 pm): L: worried Frosty (10:57 pm): F: Let me help you with that. Sasha Newberg (10:57 pm): Nice to meet you, then. shakes his hand Sasha Newberg... Ash Fox (10:57 pm): Viv: Ah? Oh, thank you. ^^; Sasha Newberg (10:57 pm): Interesting name, Contrast. It has to do with your black and white? shylarah (10:57 pm): L: sigh I was....stupid, during the rescue venture. I'm still healing. Frosty (10:58 pm): F: helps Viv carry the box outside Contrast (10:58 pm): C: nods Yeah. Though, I'm not always black and white. Comanche (10:58 pm): return to the cafe Silver (10:59 pm): Y-you got hurt? Damnit, I shouldn't have left, I should have been here... Sasha Newberg (10:59 pm): tilts her head Fur dye? Ash Fox (10:59 pm): Viv: Heads outside with Frosty to a medium-sized but fairly practical looking hover-bike, and opens the lid of it's cargo space Frosty (10:59 pm): F: carefully helps lower the box into the cargo space Frosty (11:00 pm): F: There y'go. Indigo Kitsune (11:00 pm): (And with that? I'm gonna sleep. Night night my dears) Ash Fox (11:00 pm): Viv: Closes the lid Thank you kindly, once again. Smiles pleasantly I'll be on my way then... Frosty (11:00 pm): (Goodnight =O) shylarah (11:00 pm): L: Silver, you couldn't have stopped it. No one else could reach the platform where Numl was -- just me.... Contrast (11:00 pm): C: No, not at all... shifts his weight I'm a shapeshifter. Ash Fox (11:00 pm): (G'night Crimmy-bun) shylarah (11:00 pm): ((...Oyasumi!)) shylarah (11:00 pm): (^.^)) Frosty (11:01 pm): F: heads inside Frosty (11:01 pm): F: He seems invigorated by the business, he looks better than he has in a while, upbeat. Ash Fox (11:01 pm): Viv: Hops on the bike, and drives off a few moments later Sasha Newberg (11:03 pm): I've never seen such a thing. looks him over Sasha Newberg (11:03 pm): What sorts of things do you change into? Contrast (11:03 pm): C: Anything. Contrast (11:04 pm): C: Well, anything organic... Frosty (11:04 pm): F: walks over to Cobalt, looking at what she's looking at Silver (11:05 pm): Stil, I could have done... something! Sasha Newberg (11:05 pm): Fascinating. It's quite a gift. Ash Fox (11:07 pm): Viv: After driving some distance out of town, ensuring she isn't being followed along the way, she pulls off the road and drives the bike out into the middle of a large field of grass, where she stops the bike shylarah (11:08 pm): L: places a ghostly hand on his shoulder -- she's only barely able to be felt, right now As Schrodinger would say, perhaps -- but then again, perhaps not. I'll recover. I'm already doing much better than I was right after I got back. Frosty (11:08 pm): (Just occurred to me Terg's AFK) Frosty (11:08 pm): F: heads to Sasha and Contrast instead Contrast (11:08 pm): C: If you see someone wandering around the hotel after you move in, if you do - that you don't recognize, it might be me. nods shylarah (11:08 pm): ((yeah...)) Ash Fox (11:10 pm): Viv: She takes another glance around, and then punches a button on the bike's controls. A ring of energy forms on the ground below, before swiftly passing up and over the whole thing including her with a crackling sound. All that's left afterward is a faint smell of ionised air Sasha Newberg (11:11 pm): I'll keep that in mind. smiles Sasha Newberg (11:11 pm): looks over at Frosty Frosty (11:12 pm): F: Do you want me to bring your stuff to your car, Sasha? shylarah (11:13 pm): L: What you could do that would really help is assist me in finding a weapon....I really need to be able to phase it in and out, like I can my clothing. That is going to take me time, so the sooner the better. Silver (11:13 pm): sigh ...Alright. Just... it makes me worry about you, that's all. Sasha Newberg (11:14 pm): Certainly. smiles shylarah (11:14 pm): ((x that)) Silver (11:14 pm): [Whee, post timing] shylarah (11:14 pm): (heh.)) Frosty (11:14 pm): F: nods and gathers the laser and NVG boxes shylarah (11:15 pm): L: first says That is kind of you. with a small smile then says the rest of that Dio Cheysa (11:15 pm): (backish) Dio Cheysa (11:16 pm): (sorry that took so long, but the TV is having pixellation problems and Grandma's been having me try to fix it - I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the cable) Frosty (11:16 pm): (Ack >.o my cable does that) shylarah (11:16 pm): ((I make a GREAT cable reciever, Terg. Want me to come have a look? ^.^; )) Frosty (11:16 pm): (Is it cloudy where you are?) Comanche (11:18 pm): still in the cafe I think El Gato may be the guy, but I need to wait for his finger print scans to come back... Sasha Newberg (11:18 pm): heads out to her car, which is this. http://bentley-continental-gt.info/images/wallpapers/Bentley%20Continental%20GT%20Diamond-843429.jpeg Dio Cheysa (11:18 pm): (naw, totally clear) Dio Cheysa (11:19 pm): (it's Utah in summer, rain is rare as hen's teeth) ZER0 (11:19 pm): Ooc: But I like ooc easier on the fingers. Well Yes I WILL work on the character profile. nods Bye now everyone. shylarah (11:19 pm): ((....Jaa ne!)) Dio Cheysa (11:19 pm): (it's Comcast that provides that - thank goodness it's Qwest who provides the 'net) Ash Fox (11:19 pm): (Ah, the new Forbidden model. Nice.) Silver (11:19 pm): Hm. A weapon that can phase out on command. Not sure if you'll find somewhere that sells one of those, except maybe a specialty shop somewhere. Dio Cheysa (11:19 pm): (but anyway, so where is Cobalt?) shylarah (11:19 pm): ((snickers at Comcast I used to have that.) Frosty (11:19 pm): (...Oh, well, in the immortal words of Adam Savage: Well, there's yer problem!) Frosty (11:19 pm): (Comcast) Frosty (11:20 pm): (She is...in front of a gun case) Dio Cheysa (11:20 pm): (but it was working fine before, is the thing) Frosty (11:20 pm): F: sets the boxes in the back seat, or trunk, or wherever is appropriate, before heading back in and walking over to Cobalt shylarah (11:20 pm): ((....fluke!)) ZER0 (11:20 pm): Ooc: Hey now I"m using comcast..lol. yeah thanks Shy for saying by...then again you know me so..eeeh. poofs Dio Cheysa (11:20 pm): (never had a problem with it, really) Sasha Newberg (11:21 pm): Thank you, Frosty. Dio Cheysa (11:21 pm): (I think it's partly the transfer over to digital) Comanche (11:21 pm): (Cable =/= digital conversion) Ash Fox (11:21 pm): (ZER0, please note OOC remarks in brackets or parentheses. It's pretty jarring otherwise.) Comanche (11:21 pm): (Doesn't matter :O More often then not it's the cable in ground has cracks in it that have built up over time and are now letting in moisture) Comanche (11:21 pm): (Should cally comcast and have them inspect the lines to see if they need replaced) Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): (we did call just now about the signal, doing what they recommended which is resetting the box) Sasha Newberg (11:22 pm): heads back inside, with him Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): Cobalt: Hey...so, um, what do you sell here? Dio Cheysa (11:23 pm): Cobalt: was busy looking around at stuff, though casting the occasional glance at Contrast Frosty (11:23 pm): F: Sure! * looks at Cobalt* Well, on this side of the store, guns, as you can see. Over there, assorted gadgets, cameras, GPS units...stuff like that. shylarah (11:24 pm): L: ....Not quite. what I wear phases because I've had it long enough....if I focus energy on it, I can make the transfer a bit quicker. For now, I just want to find a good blade. I am well enough to phase in, though I'd prefer not to when not necessary. Sasha Newberg (11:24 pm): has never even bothered to walk over to the gun side! Frosty (11:25 pm): (Sugarcane Beefsicle.) Comanche (11:30 pm): (test) Frosty (11:30 pm): (Iron Chef America's ridiculousness killed the chat) Contrast (11:30 pm): (Yeah, I...) Contrast (11:30 pm): (I was kinda stunned) Frosty (11:30 pm): (XD) Dio Cheysa (11:30 pm): Cobalt: Oh, um...sounds interesting. leans in a little conspiratorially and points at Contrast Say...how much is that? Frosty (11:31 pm): F: How much is what? Those cameras are kind of expensive, but there're a few different ones. Contrast (11:31 pm): C: earperk shylarah (11:31 pm): ((....I just didn't know how to respond to that sort of comment, save with fish smoothies, bbut I thought Dio might get offended...)) Frosty (11:31 pm): F: They're expensive because they're so tiny. completely missed the point... Dio Cheysa (11:32 pm): Cobalt: ...err, okay, yeah, not much cash for that at the moment...um, say, that guy over there, does he work here? Frosty (11:32 pm): F: Contrast? nod Contrast (11:34 pm): C: So, what do you do? to Sasha Dio Cheysa (11:34 pm): Cobalt: Is he busy, or could he give me a...tech demonstration? Comanche (11:34 pm): (I missed it as I was watching Life in the ER atm D: ) Frosty (11:35 pm): F: smirk I could show you the cameras. I have a few out for display. Dio Cheysa (11:36 pm): Cobalt: But you own the store, right? Ash Fox (11:37 pm): (Har har, Cobalt wants to check out Contarst's tech >:3) Ash Fox (11:37 pm): (Contrast's even) Frosty* (11:37 pm): F: nod Ash Fox (11:38 pm): (Is anyone needing me for anything tonight btw? Cos if not I'll probably go sleep.) Dio Cheysa (11:38 pm): (nope you're not needed go away >:O ) Dio Cheysa (11:38 pm): (XP) Frosty (11:38 pm): (Goodnight) Sasha Newberg (11:38 pm): I'm into invvestments. shylarah (11:38 pm): ((would like to need you for something.)) Sasha Newberg (11:38 pm): (investments) shylarah* (11:38 pm): (((....GAAAAH)) Ash Fox (11:38 pm): (Smacks Dio with a newspaper) Frosty (11:38 pm): (Niiice.) Ash Fox (11:39 pm): (Ololz shy you could just be honest and say you just want me and nothing else :crazy:) Dio Cheysa (11:39 pm): Cobalt: Just seems like you have more important things to do, and I could talk to him about the finer details... Contrast (11:40 pm): C: I see. ~Never done any honest work, surely...~ Contrast (11:40 pm): C: ~Ah well.~ shylarah (11:40 pm): (...I like Siv better than you, Ash. thumbs nose)) Frosty (11:40 pm): (Hot, Siv.) Contrast (11:40 pm): C: I'm working here to save up for college myself - law school. Ash Fox (11:40 pm): (Yeup) Silver (11:41 pm): [wins] Contrast (11:41 pm): N: seems interested in Sasha Contrast (11:41 pm): C: Isn't as interested in Sasha as he speaks, but he's hiding his inner thoughts well Sasha Newberg (11:41 pm): I've amassed quite a bit thanks to what I do. Contrast (11:41 pm): (brb soup) Frosty (11:41 pm): F: Nah, I always have time for anyone interested in my stuff. nod You can go talk to him, though. shylarah (11:41 pm): ((smug grin)) Ash Fox (11:41 pm): (Is amused) shylarah (11:41 pm): ((and that's even /with/ the mod bonus, ash. Sorry.)) Frosty (11:42 pm): (she's not after modrights ) Ash Fox (11:42 pm): (LMFAO) Dio Cheysa (11:42 pm): (WE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF THIS) Ash Fox (11:42 pm): (Oh lawd XD) Sasha Newberg (11:42 pm): Law school, hmm? I hope you have the drive for that. Frosty (11:42 pm): (XD Terg) Dio Cheysa (11:42 pm): (YOU THINK I AM KIDDING I AM NOT) Ash Fox (11:43 pm): (XD) shylarah (11:43 pm): ((....yes I am. I just don't like Ash enough to take him over siv for them.)) Frosty (11:43 pm): (brb, choking on a cheese stick) shylarah (11:43 pm): ((...heehee.)) Ash Fox (11:43 pm): (ARGH NO SX NO XD) Comanche (11:43 pm): (butbutbut I thought you were miiiiine~ ;___; ) Dio Cheysa (11:43 pm): Cobalt: ...no offense. and walks over toward Contrast, but then hesitates, rubbing the back of her calf with her foot, a little nervously shylarah (11:43 pm): ((([23:43] transfan84: butbutbut I thought you were miiiiine~ ;___; [23:43] shylarah_falanth: ....pffffffffgiggle)) Frosty (11:43 pm): F: ...Don't worry. He's pretty friendly. Dio Cheysa (11:43 pm): (MoFo - We Know Soap Opera!) shylarah (11:44 pm): ((....oh, he just said that...)) Dio Cheysa (11:44 pm): Cobalt: but Contrast is already talking to someone else Frosty (11:45 pm): F: Hey, Numl? Dio Cheysa (11:45 pm): (afk for a bit to check on the cable box, then I'll be back for the rest of the night crosses fingers and knocks on wood) Frosty (11:45 pm): F: I wanted to talk to you about something. Contrast (11:46 pm): (Back) Contrast (11:47 pm): C: I have my reasons for it, not just as a career. Contrast (11:47 pm): N: earperk Frosty (11:47 pm): f Frosty (11:47 pm): F: nods toward the storeroom, heading that way Contrast (11:47 pm): N: follows Frosty (11:48 pm): F: sits at a desk in there About you working here, I mean... Contrast (11:48 pm): N: shifts Yeah...? Sasha Newberg (11:48 pm): I'm presuming they're good reasons, then. That's nice to hear. Frosty (11:49 pm): F: I don't want you to not work here, I mean, but...I'd feel better if, during idle downtime, you spent your time studying eighth grade stuff. School doesn't start for a few weeks... Silver (11:49 pm): We just need to find a good sword for you then? That shouldn't be too difficult. nods Contrast (11:49 pm): N: blinks shylarah (11:49 pm): L: nod Contrast (11:49 pm): N: I will then. earperk, again Frosty (11:50 pm): F: smiles, writing something down on some paper Tomorrow at lunch we'll go out and buy some textbooks.

Frosty (11:56 pm): F: he walks over and hands Numl about a week's worth in pay, in cash I can't afford to pay you the same rate I pay Connie, but I don't think you have to work for free. Contrast (11:58 pm): N: looks at it, a little stunned Contrast (11:58 pm): C: I'm going to become a defense attorney, I think. Contrast (11:58 pm): C: I've seen one too many wrong guilty verdicts. Ash Fox (11:59 pm): (Sasha: Then you should stop sucking at those Phoenix Wright games, seriously.) Dio Cheysa (11:59 pm): Cobalt: ~A lawyer, huh...they make a lot of money...~ Dio Cheysa (11:59 pm): Cobalt: ~And that wouldn't be a bad start...~ Contrast (12:00 am): N: I... holding it I can't take this, Frosty, I... Sasha Newberg (12:00 am): Have you now? Silver (12:01 am): I know of a few shops in the city that cell swords, shouldn't be too hard to find one for you. Frosty (12:01 am): F: You're doing work for me, Numl, I couldn't in good faith not pay you. Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): Cobalt: looks around for a bathroom Frosty (12:02 am): F: Like I said, it isn't as much as I pay Connie, but. Contrast (12:02 am): C: nods Nothing specific. Frosty (12:03 am): There is a bathroom! Contrast (12:03 am): N: frowns I... Contrast (12:03 am): N: Are you sure? Sasha Newberg (12:03 am): Mmm. Sasha Newberg (12:03 am): Good luck, then. Frosty (12:03 am): F: nod Sasha Newberg (12:04 am): ~Hah. Of course he'd want to be a defense attorney...~ shylarah (12:05 am): L: ....I have no way to pay for one, though. I cannot remember where any of the time capsules are...which is probably just as well. awkward smile Contrast (12:05 am): N: ... fine... but never any more than this much, okay? Frosty (12:06 am): F: Alright. smiles That's about a week's worth. Contrast (12:07 am): C: You too, in your investments. Dio Cheysa (12:07 am): Cobalt: slips into the bathroom, closes the door, and starts adjusting her hair a touch, trying to make herself look a little nicer Contrast (12:07 am): C: There's... the faintest, ever so faint twinge of skepticism in him saying "investments" Contrast (12:09 am): N: looking at it ~What am I going to buy? I've never had this much money...~ Sasha Newberg (12:09 am): Thank you. nods Frosty (12:10 am): (What the...) Frosty (12:10 am): (BRB) Dio Cheysa (12:10 am): Cobalt: frowns a bit at herself, trying to adjust her ponytail ~This is silly...he's just some guy...~ Mew (12:10 am): (mew^^ ) Ash Fox (12:11 am): (Pet Mew) Frosty (12:11 am): (Saw a big weird dark thing on my arm, I thought I was bleeding o_o) Frosty (12:11 am): (It's...chocolate) Frosty (12:11 am): (...No idea WHY I have melted chocolate on my arm, I don't like chocolate, but) Sasha Newberg (12:11 am): (CHOCOLAAAAATE) Comanche (12:12 am): (FAIL) Contrast (12:12 am): C: ~Now to talk to the girl that's stressing out over me.~ Mew (12:12 am): (weba) Frosty (12:12 am): F: I recommend buying a wallet. nod Silver (12:13 am): smiles Don't worry too much about money, I have it handled. Dio Cheysa (12:13 am): Cobalt: comes back out of the bathroom, calm, collected, her usual tough-girl routine Frosty (12:13 am): (...I see Sasha (wat) now XD) Dio Cheysa (12:13 am): Cobalt: and heads over to Contrast, though she hesitates a little Say, um, you there... Contrast (12:13 am): N: Heh, yeah... guess I should. Contrast (12:14 am): C: looks over, perking his ears Hey. ... haven't I seen you around the hotel somewhere? Sasha Newberg (12:14 am): turns to look at Cobalt You're from that hotel as well? Frosty (12:14 am): F: hugs him Let's get everything packed up for the night. Contrast (12:15 am): N: hugs back Dio Cheysa (12:15 am): Cobalt: nods, her ears a bit perky toward Cobalt, but she also acknowledges the women with not quite so much excitement and a more surly lip Dio Cheysa (12:16 am): Cobalt: What's it to ya? Mew (12:16 am): (and petted and mew-purrrrs n.n (sorry@lateness of that^^;; )) Frosty (12:16 am): F: smiles and heads back to the storefront Frosty (12:16 am): F: heads to the front window, reversing an open/closed sign Contrast (12:17 am): C: shrugs, extends a hand Contrast Collie.

I -- I don't want to impose. ~I feel useless enough as it is....~ Contrast (12:17 am): C: He didn't offer his nickname to Sasha... Dio Cheysa (12:17 am): Cobalt: considers, then extends her hand as well Cobalt. Uh, just call me that, it doesn't make for good nicknames. Sasha Newberg (12:18 am): raises an eyebrow It's nothing. Sasha Newberg (12:18 am): I've simpy noticed that many people from there come here. Frosty (12:19 am): F: Heh. We're all new residents, we're getting to know each other. nod Contrast (12:21 am): C: Yeah. Everyone working here lives there. Contrast (12:21 am): C: You've probably seen Frosty around too, right?

Worth quite a bit to the right people. Dio Cheysa (12:39 am): Cobalt: Man, that's just wicked. Contrast (12:40 am): C: ~Why not?~ shapeshifts into a rabbit, growing his ears out long, shortening his tail and muzzle... Contrast (12:40 am): C: He - should be saying she, really - keeps the same basic appearance, though, still female and still black and white with red eyes shylarah (12:42 am): L: A-Alright. ...Should we go now?

Nods, looking at Sasha It's the hovercar in the front of the lot. Frosty (12:50 am): F: then looks at Numl Walking or riding? shylarah (12:50 am): ((see ya, silver.)) Contrast (12:50 am): C: tosses the keys to Frosty Sasha Newberg (12:50 am): Alright. nod Contrast (12:50 am): N: I'll ride with you. I'd feel awkward carrying around, y'know. Frosty (12:50 am): F: catch Frosty (12:50 am): F: Yeah. Mew (12:50 am): (weba) Contrast (12:51 am): N: heads back to the store room, and comes back out carrying the great knife Sasha Newberg (12:51 am): turns to Numl, stepping back just slightly with a blink ... Contrast (12:52 am): N: looks at Sasha ... Frosty (12:52 am): F: Long story, Sasha. Don't worry about it. Contrast (12:52 am): C: to Sasha Long sto- ... yeah. Sasha Newberg (12:52 am): I see... relaxes, looking away from the knife Contrast (12:52 am): N: nods, lifting it over his shoulder - it almost looks ridiculous; an adult couldn't carry it like that so easy Dio Cheysa (12:53 am): Cobalt: oO Contrast (12:53 am): C: ~She's interested in me, isn't she?~ Dio Cheysa (12:53 am): Cobalt: Let me guess. Frosty (12:53 am): F: heads out, setting hte sucrity system up Dio Cheysa (12:53 am): Cobalt: points to Numl He's got super strength? Contrast (12:53 am): N: blinks Contrast (12:53 am): N: Nope. Sasha Newberg (12:54 am): follows Frosty out, hurriedly ~How would such a small boy carry that?~ Frosty (12:54 am): F: Just follow our car. It's only a few blocks that way, - point - a few minute drive. Contrast (12:54 am): N: It's just this that I can carry like that. shylarah (12:55 am): L: feeling restless phases out and goes outside Sasha Newberg (12:55 am): Okay. heads over to her Bentley, hopping in Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): Cobalt: That's...kind of funny. Contrast (12:56 am): N: Yeah... it's weird. Dio Cheysa (12:56 am): Cobalt: Is it made of something magnetic? Contrast (12:56 am): N: o.o Contrast (12:56 am): N: I dunno. Contrast (12:56 am): N: It's definitely not just light though... looks outside Gotta catch up with Frosty, seeya. hurries out! Contrast (12:57 am): C: He's a good kid. He volunteers to help here just because he likes Frosty. Dio Cheysa (12:58 am): Cobalt: nods Okay...they do seem to be okay guys. Dio Cheysa (12:58 am): Cobalt: ...you do too. Contrast (12:59 am): C: Heh... thanks. heads out, locking the place up after both her and Cobalt step out Frosty (12:59 am): F: starts to drive outm, stopping at the end of the parking lot to make sure Sasha is following shylarah (12:59 am): L: phases partway in once outside, and starts walking. shylarah* (12:59 am): * Sasha Newberg (1:00 am): is folowing behind Frosty Dio Cheysa (1:00 am): Cobalt: steps out with Contrast, and starts walking with him once they go So...what brought you to the hotel? Contrast (1:01 am): C: ... it was a cheap place to live. Contrast (1:02 am): C: I'm 18, see, and I kinda got kicked out of my mom and dad's house. Contrast (1:02 am): N: I like her. Frosty (1:03 am): F: Who, Cobalt or Sasha? Contrast (1:03 am): N: Sasha. Ash Fox (1:03 am): Vivienne: Whatever she was up to earlier it seems she's done, as she's now sat outside a cafÃ© with a netbook, browsing the internet. Seems she's researching something Dio Cheysa (1:03 am): Cobalt: Oh...me too. Contrast (1:03 am): C: Huh. Really? Frosty (1:04 am): F: Yeah, she's a good customer. Collects gadgets and stuff. Comanche (1:04 am): notes the new person, and walks up to her Hey there smile Ash Fox (1:05 am): Vivienne: Occasionally scribbles notes in a notepad next to her netbook before looking back at the screen and browsing some more Comanche (1:05 am): (ohh, nvm) shylarah (1:05 am): L: ~Illusions. That's all I'm really good for....~ walking without really bothering to keep track of where ~I don't even have a sword, anymore....it will feel good to have one in my hands....again....?~ Dio Cheysa (1:05 am): Cobalt: Yeah...eh, I got into a fight with them about...well, some stuff. Dio Cheysa (1:05 am): Cobalt: Something I couldn't help. Contrast (1:05 am): C: ... heh. Contrast (1:07 am): N: I want one of those lasers. grins Contrast (1:07 am): C: I got kicked out after discovering my power. Contrast (1:07 am): C: My parents hate powered citizens. Frosty (1:08 am): F: They're pretty awesome. They'll burn wood, burn paper, pop balloons...pulls into the parking lot Ash Fox (1:08 am): Vivienne: Glances up from her netbook and notices Lani as she passes by. She initially doesn't give her a second look. Moments later though, after Lani has passed, her cellphone on the table next to her notepad vibrates Contrast (1:08 am): C: thinks Lasers are made from light, right? Contrast (1:08 am): (er) Contrast (1:08 am): (N* that) Frosty (1:08 am): F: nod Ash Fox (1:08 am): Viv: Picks it up and flips it open, answering it Yes, Master? ...I see. I understand. shylarah (1:09 am): L: pauses, looking at her hands uncertainly ~Again? aside from when I ...did I borrow Silver's sword? -- but other than that....when have I ever held one?~ Dio Cheysa (1:09 am): Cobalt: They kicked you out for that? hesitates a moment, then nods, her ears bobbing a bit ...same reason as me... Contrast (1:09 am): C: What was it for you? Dio Cheysa (1:10 am): Cobalt: Once I got to a certain age, I started...being able to make these walls, of energy. Ash Fox (1:11 am): Viv: ...at once. Closes the phone and pockets it, then purposefully shuts her notepad and puts it away neatly in her bag, along with the netbook. She gets up from her table, leaving exact change for the cup of coffee she'd been sipping from Contrast (1:11 am): C: earperk Show me. Frosty (1:11 am): F: But it's special light. gives a basic explanation of how lasers work as they head inside Contrast (1:11 am): N: Well, light heats up dark things faster than light things, right? Ash Fox (1:11 am): (Light amplified by stimulated emission of radiation, in fact.) Sasha Newberg (1:12 am): parks not far from Frosty's car, heading inside Frosty (1:13 am): (I know. :P) Frosty (1:13 am): (Learned such in 3rd grade, actually =O) Frosty (1:13 am): F: nod Ash Fox (1:13 am): Viv: Starts walking along the street, a few metres behind Lani. She's being quite nonchalant about it - a casual observer wouldn't look twice as she wanders along, occasionally pausing to glance in shop windows and suchlike Dio Cheysa (1:13 am): Cobalt: ...okay. she's a bit nervous ~Hope this doesn't scare him off...~ and she holds out her hands in front of herself, and suddenly a wall of hexagonal glowing energy panels flash into place Ash Fox (1:14 am): (Ahahaha Cobalt has a Line Shield! ) Ash Fox (1:14 am): (Smacked) Frosty (1:14 am): F: turns Well, this is hte place, Sasha. smiles There are hotel rooms and residential rooms, the residential rooms are larger and have kitchenettes. Dio Cheysa (1:15 am): (smacks again with a Chain Sawd) Ash Fox (1:15 am): (Shoots you with a Shigga Pakuda) Dio Cheysa (1:15 am): (or fires a Launcher) Frosty (1:16 am): (lost) Contrast (1:16 am): (They are referencing some vidya.) Ash Fox (1:17 am): (Hands SX a map of the internet) Sasha Newberg (1:17 am): I'll be staying in a residential room then. Contrast (1:17 am): (PSO does not belong on a map of the internet) Contrast (1:17 am): (shake) Sasha Newberg (1:17 am): This place seems nice enough. looking around, all over Ash Fox (1:17 am): (Shaken) Ash Fox (1:17 am): (Not stirred) Dio Cheysa (1:17 am): (PSU actually) Contrast (1:17 am): (stirs) shylarah (1:18 am): ((...I knew that was coming...)) Dio Cheysa (1:18 am): Cobalt: then she turns it off Ash Fox (1:18 am): (Now ruined as a cocktail) Contrast (1:18 am): C: stops, looking at it Nice... Contrast (1:18 am): C: How strong are they? Frosty (1:18 am): (http://www.flickr.com/photos/20601632@N00/481852163) Ash Fox (1:18 am): (Strong enough to fend off a charging koltova! ...OK, I'll stop now. XD) Frosty (1:19 am): (why is that not a link o_o) Ash Fox (1:19 am): (Because you touch yourself at night) Frosty (1:19 am): F: starts pointing out the various features of the first floor Contrast (1:20 am): N: wanted to stay with Frosty and Sasha... Contrast (1:20 am): N: he kind of felt too awkward with his weapon, though Contrast (1:20 am): N: he's gone upstairs Ash Fox (1:20 am): Viv: Continues to follow Lani for now in as inconspicuous a manner as possible shylarah (1:20 am): ((...she's stopped)) shylarah (1:20 am): L: shakes slightly, and her opacity fades significantly Why.... whisper Ash Fox (1:21 am): (Oh. Hadn't realised ;o) Ash Fox (1:21 am): Viv: Watching this carefully ...interesting... Quietly, to herself Sasha Newberg (1:22 am): she's looking around said features very carefully Comanche (1:22 am): Still in the cafe at the hotel Dio Cheysa (1:22 am): Cobalt: I've tested them a bit... Dio Cheysa (1:22 am): Cobalt: I haven't gotten shot at, but I have had stuff thrown at me, and even a house fell in on me once. Frosty (1:24 am): F: I can show you a room, if you'd like. Ash Fox (1:24 am): Viv: Decides to wander slightly closer, slowly shylarah (1:25 am): L: Why can't I remember? Useless....shakes her head and starts waliking again Sasha Newberg (1:26 am): That would be nice. Sasha Newberg (1:26 am): I'd like the top floor, if possible. Ash Fox (1:26 am): Viv: Continues to follow Lani still, and then as she's walking her phone vibrates in her pocket. She pulls it out and flips it open, still keeping pace Hello? Frosty (1:26 am): F: walks over to the reception desk, asking for a key and explaining shylarah (1:27 am): L: startles, and turns around Pardon? Ash Fox (1:27 am): Viv: Mmhmm... Aha. I understand. Right away. Contrast (1:27 am): C: That shield stopped a house? Ash Fox (1:27 am): Viv: Only a few paces away, stops, to avoid bumping into Lani and makes an apologetic expression, indicating her phone shylarah (1:28 am): L: ...oh. Not me....starts to turn away, smiling weakly and waving the apology away, and then continues down the street Dio Cheysa (1:28 am): Cobalt: Well, the ceiling, mostly. Ash Fox (1:29 am): Viv: Well yes, it certainly does save me an inconvenience... Alright... bye for now. Flips the phone shut and puts it away, then calls after Lani Uhm... miss? Excuse me? Dio Cheysa (1:29 am): Cobalt: I was in a rickety old house once when I was traveling, and must have bumped something loose, 'cause the whole roof caved in on me. Comanche (1:29 am): (has been playing Pong for the past 30 minutes) Comanche (1:29 am): (possibly needs institutionalized) Dio Cheysa (1:29 am): Cobalt: Though, as I think about it, that was around the time that I first saw those creepy people stalking me. shylarah (1:29 am): L: Hmm? pauses Frosty (1:30 am): F: acquires a key, then looks at Sasha, heading toward the elevators They're not very big, but for their size they're pretty inexpensive. I prefer this place to an apartment. Ash Fox (1:30 am): Viv: Catches up to her It may not be my business at all, but... are you alright? Sasha Newberg (1:31 am): I wouldn't stay in one of those. They aren't really for me, I suppose. follows shylarah (1:31 am): L: ....I wouldn't be able to tell you. Sorry. I myself do not know.... Contrast (1:31 am): C: Creepy people...? Frosty (1:31 am): F: takes the elevator to the top floor Did you get tired of your old place, or...? Ash Fox (1:32 am): Viv: Cocks her head in a confused manner You don't? Sasha Newberg (1:32 am): ...you could say that, yes. Dio Cheysa (1:32 am): Cobalt: When I first got to the hotel, some of the people there were talking about "Faceless." I think that's what these were, but they were never trying to eat my face or whatever...just following me, and trying to isolate me. Dio Cheysa (1:32 am): Cobalt: Maybe they were trying to kill me. shrugs Frosty (1:33 am): F: You'll love the people here. smiles, unlocking the room and standing aside shylarah (1:34 am): L: It's a long story. I've been better, yes, but...alright? I don't know anymore. Ash Fox (1:34 am): Viv: That sounds like a most strange state in which to be. Sasha Newberg (1:34 am): I would hope so. slight smile, as she enters Contrast (1:35 am): C: sigh We've been having problems with them too. Frosty (1:35 am): F: What do you think? smile Dio Cheysa (1:36 am): (random disconnect) Sasha Newberg (1:36 am): It has a cozy look about it... looking around the room, carefully Dio Cheysa (1:36 am): Cobalt: That's what I've heard...the other day, I helped kill one...shudders Mew (1:36 am): (weba) shylarah (1:37 am): L: I suppose it is, yes, though I'm sure there's worse... Contrast (1:37 am): C: frowns ... you aren't the only one to get blood on your hands recently... Ash Fox (1:38 am): Viv: That is true. I would imagine that worse possibilities exist. Although that being the case, then it would stand to reason that better states of being exist also. Sasha Newberg (1:39 am): sits down on the bed I think this will work. Ash Fox (1:40 am): Viv: Still, all one can do in the end is--Her phone buzzes again Oh my, please do excuse me. My master is a rather demanding individual... shylarah (1:40 am): L: Yes, but I have more or less resigned myself to -- wait, why am I telling you this? Sasha Newberg (1:40 am): It's smaller than I'm used to, but it's also very nice. Dio Cheysa (1:40 am): Cobalt: O-oh? looks up at Contrast Frosty (1:41 am): F: It is smaller, but the whole lobby is like one living space. I only ever use my room when I want to sleep or watch TV or something Ash Fox (1:42 am): Viv: Flips her phone open, again giving an apologetic look as she cut off right in the middle of speaking Uhm, hello? ...uh huh... yes... Quite so, sir. Yes. ...aha...? Ah right. Yes sir, sorry. I will. Goodbye for now. Flips it shut and puts it away Sorry about that. Dio Cheysa (1:42 am): Cobalt: ~That was kind of dumb, talking about killing...~ Mew (1:43 am): (weba) shylarah (1:43 am): L: No, it's okay....shifts uncertainly Contrast (1:43 am): C: Well... I don't mean to talk around too much, but that boy, Numl, was kidnapped. Dio Cheysa (1:45 am): Cobalt: Kidnapped?! Dio Cheysa (1:45 am): Cobalt: lowers her voice Uh, kidnapped? Sasha Newberg (1:45 am): I imagine I'll end up living similarly. Contrast (1:45 am): C: nods We saved him. Frosty (1:46 am): F: smile Dio Cheysa (1:46 am): Cobalt: I should've guessed that, seeing as how that was him back there, right? Frosty (1:47 am): .0. Frosty (1:47 am): (Dropped something on my numpad @o) Comanche (1:47 am): (o.o) Ash Fox (1:47 am): Viv: Oh my... sorry, where are my manners? Here I am talking to you out of the blue, and I haven't even volunteered you my name. My apologies! Sasha Newberg (1:48 am): stands up I'm going to put my things in here now. Contrast (1:48 am): C: Anyways, enough about that. Dio Cheysa (1:49 am): Cobalt: So...you had to fight? Ash Fox (1:49 am): (Lolz, and for a moment there was me thinking Frosty was making a really bizarre face) shylarah (1:49 am): L: No, it's quite alright. I don't really mind.... ~I don't usually have people talk to me at all.~ Frosty (1:50 am): F: I'm going to head down to my room, for a few minutes. If you want to get to know everyone, noone'll really mind if you stay around for a while. smiles I'll meet you downstairs, if you'd like. Sasha Newberg (1:50 am): Very well. smiles back I'll put my things in my room, then meet you there. Ash Fox (1:50 am): Vivienne: Smiles Well it's usually one of the first things I tend to do. Offers a hand My name is Vivienne. Frosty (1:51 am): F: nods, heading off. He takes the stairs. (BRB, food) Contrast (1:52 am): C: Yeah. Contrast (1:52 am): C: Poor kid... Sasha Newberg (1:53 am): heads off too, to do aforementioned things Dio Cheysa (1:53 am): Cobalt: Was it though...Faceless things? Contrast (1:53 am): C: It wasn't them. Sasha Newberg (1:54 am): FFing a little, she gets that done and goes to find Frosty shylarah (1:55 am): L: ....Vivienne. considers It is a pretty name. I go by Lani. hesitates, forcing herself into phase, and then shakes her hand briefly Frosty (1:56 am): (Back) Frosty (1:56 am): F: looks in his room Dio Cheysa (1:56 am): Cobalt: Oh. Okay. Dio Cheysa (1:56 am): Cobalt: ...sorry if I'm just dragging that out, we could talk about something else. Contrast (1:57 am): C: It's alright. smiles Ash Fox (1:57 am): Vivienne's hand feels a little colder than you'd expect from a regular human's, but she has a firm grip in her handshake Ash Fox (1:58 am): Viv: Looks thoughtful for a moment I hope you don't mind my asking, but... well... you don't seem to be entirely, uhm... solid...? shylarah (1:58 am): L: for her part, Lani doesn'tfeel like she's... all /there/, but she doesn't really notice Viv's temperature Sasha Newberg (1:59 am): was waiting downstairs Dio Cheysa (1:59 am): Cobalt: So...when did your powers start up? Frosty (1:59 am): F: sees noone in his room! ~Wonder where Numl ran off to...~ Frosty (1:59 am): F: heads downstairs Contrast (2:00 am): N: In his room! Contrast (2:00 am): N: putting his money up shylarah (2:00 am): L: ...Um. looks down ...yeah, I'm -- I'm not really. solid, that is. Contrast (2:00 am): C: ... graduation day. Frosty (2:00 am): (they fixed his door? =o) shylarah (2:00 am): ((...isn't his room sorta destroyed?)) Contrast (2:00 am): (Oh right.) Contrast (2:00 am): (I totally forgot) Contrast (2:00 am): N: Okay, was in Frosty's room then shylarah (2:00 am): Frosty (2:00 am): (flail) Frosty (2:01 am): F: said hi to Numl and invited him downstairs, then shylarah (2:01 am): ((...flail, or fail?)) Frosty (2:01 am): (flail!) Contrast (2:01 am): C: I think I always had them, actually... you just don't really think to shapeshift. Ash Fox (2:01 am): Viv: Looks puzzled How come? If you don't mind me asking, that is... Contrast (2:01 am): C: But that day - it felt good. I felt like flying. Contrast (2:01 am): C: ... and then I had wings. Frosty (2:02 am): F: approaches Sasha Sorry. Wanted to see where Numl ran off to. smiles, looking around Dio Cheysa (2:02 am): Cobalt: That must have been awesome. shylarah (2:02 am): L: ....I'm not really....here. I mean, I am, but I'm not -- it's a bit hard to explain. Dio Cheysa (2:03 am): (well, dang) Dio Cheysa (2:03 am): (it's time for me to go) shylarah (2:03 am): ((...bye, Terg.)) Contrast (2:03 am): C: Actually, I never tried flying. smirks Too afraid of screwing up and falling. Sasha Newberg (2:03 am): Ah. shifts a little, remembering his knife Frosty (2:04 am): F: He's a good kid, you'll like him once you get to know him. Ash Fox (2:04 am): Viv: Is it somehing like Schrodinger's Cat? Dio Cheysa (2:04 am): (we can continue next time! meanwhile, adios, muchahos) Dio Cheysa (2:04 am): (muchachos) Dio Cheysa (2:04 am): (bleh) Dio Cheysa (2:04 am): (see ya XP good night) Ash Fox (2:04 am): (G'naut) Frosty (2:04 am): (L: No, but he's a friend of mine.) shylarah (2:05 am): ((...heehee.)) shylarah (2:05 am): L: ...How do you know him? blink, confused Ash Fox (2:06 am): Viv: Now also confused Huh? No... I mean... the classic relativity experiment? Super-position of states, and all? shylarah (2:07 am): L: ...yeah, that's him alright. He jumps through me every chance he gets. irritated Ash Fox (2:07 am): Viv: o_o Frosty (2:07 am): (XD) Comanche (2:07 am): (XD) shylarah (2:08 am): ((Schrodinger, a cat, is one of my characters. He's black with gold eyes. or green. or maybe gold.)) Sasha Newberg (2:10 am): ...why does he carry such a barbaric thing? Contrast (2:10 am): (BRB) Frosty (2:10 am): F: ...his knife? Ash Fox (2:10 am): Viv: Somehow, I don't think what you are thinking of is what I am thinking of... Frosty (2:10 am): F: ears fold back. He sits on a couch in the lobby Sasha Newberg (2:10 am): nods ... Sasha Newberg (2:10 am): If it's too personal, you needn't discuss it... Frosty (2:10 am): F: ...it's not by choice, trust me. Mew (2:11 am): (weba) Frosty (2:11 am): F: I won't get into details without his okay, but he...has to carry it around. shylarah (2:11 am): L: I'm thinking of a friend. A cat, domestic shorthair, black fur....His name is Schrodinger. Sasha Newberg (2:12 am): sits down by him I see... Sasha Newberg (2:12 am): How does such a small boy carry such a thing? Ash Fox (2:12 am): Viv: Ahhh. I'm thinking of a classic hypothesis regarding relativity and super-position of states, specifically relating to particles. Comanche (2:12 am): (Bed. Night!) Frosty (2:13 am): F: It's...some kind of curse or something. vaguely He's not dangerous. Frosty (2:13 am): F: He's a really good kid. shylarah (2:13 am): L: ...that sounds like Schrodinger's cup of tea. smile Ash Fox (2:13 am): (Numl will later go on to start the band Bigg Nife) Sasha Newberg (2:14 am): blinks Sasha Newberg (2:14 am): I've...never been around that sort of thing before. Frosty (2:14 am): F: Me either. I knew him before it, though. It was...just last week, actually. He's still really sensitive about it. Sasha Newberg (2:15 am): I'm sorry to hear that. Ash Fox (2:15 am): Viv: Well essentially it boils down to something being either there or not there, but you don't know until you look. Up until you check, it exists in both a state where it's there and also where it's not there. shylarah (2:16 am): L: ...and that sounds exactly like how he describes me.... Contrast (2:16 am): (I yam going to bed tomorrow.) Frosty (2:16 am): (?) Ash Fox (2:17 am): Viv: That's probably the best way for to think of it then. Contrast (2:17 am): (... wtf) Contrast (2:17 am): (Today) shylarah (2:17 am): ((.....o.o; )) Ash Fox (2:17 am): for me Contrast* (2:17 am): (So I can, tomorrow) shylarah (2:17 am): ((.....ah! good night.)) Contrast (2:17 am): (... go somewhere) Contrast (2:17 am): (tomorrow) Contrast (2:17 am): (Yay me! I'm incoherant) Frosty (2:17 am): (?) Frosty (2:17 am): (what the $#!@ are you trying to say man) Frosty (2:17 am): (o_o) shylarah (2:18 am): ((...I understood it once you said today.)) Sasha Newberg (2:18 am): (He's being a derp) Contrast (2:18 am): (I am going to bed now so I can be well rested so that Cinder and I can go somewhere tomorrow) shylarah (2:18 am): (...he's going to go to bed now, so that tomorrow, he can go somewhere.)) shylarah (2:18 am): ((....yeah.)) Frosty (2:18 am): (Tomorrow as in August 3rd or tomorrow as in...um, today Ash Fox (2:18 am): (He's going to go to bed today so that he can go somewhere tomorrow.) shylarah (2:18 am): ((....today.)) Contrast (2:18 am): (Tomorrow as in after I sleep) shylarah (2:19 am): ((...that's why he said tomorrow first.)) Frosty (2:19 am): (You had better bring me a souvenier) shylarah (2:19 am): ((...yep. That's how my days go, too)) Contrast (2:19 am): (NO) Contrast (2:19 am): (YOU GET NOTHING) Contrast (2:19 am): (YOU LOSE) Frosty (2:19 am): (CRY) Contrast (2:19 am): (GOOD DAY SIR) Ash Fox (2:19 am): (Cackles) shylarah (2:19 am): ((good night, Bauks!)) Frosty (2:19 am): F: ...shy of weapons, Sasha? Ash Fox (2:20 am): (G'night Boxxy-kins) Sasha Newberg (2:20 am): Slightly. Sasha Newberg (2:20 am): it being wielded by such a small boy surprised me, too. Frosty (2:21 am): F: Yeah, me too. ~You have no idea...~ Ash Fox (2:22 am): Viv: That's quite a unique trait. Mew (2:22 am): (have to get going now@tiredness/lateness...rest well, and 'nite everyone^^ ) Mew (2:22 am): (teleports out of chat...mew!^^ ) Ash Fox (2:22 am): (Patpat Mew) Sasha Newberg (2:23 am): I'm sure he's still a good child... shylarah (2:23 am): L: dry laugh yes, I suppose. I'd rather be like others, though.... Mew (2:23 am): (patpatted and gives a little flip before the teleport n.n and now I'm really off...cya^^ ) Frosty (2:24 am): F: He is. nod Sasha Newberg (2:24 am): (brb) Ash Fox (2:24 am): Viv: As in, being completely here the whole time, yes? Sasha Newberg (2:26 am): goes quiet for a short time shylarah (2:26 am): L: ....It's been long enough...I honestly do not know if I care which one it is, so long as it is either one or the other, and not both.... Sasha Newberg (2:26 am): So you work with two other residents at your shop. Frosty (2:27 am): F: nod I worked by myself until I moved here, but I agreed to hire Connie, and Numl...heh. Frosty (2:27 am): F: We've been sorta...taking care of Numl, and he wanted to repay us. He wouldn't take no for an answer. Ash Fox (2:28 am): Viv: Nods It certainly does seem to have caused you considerable consternation. Ash Fox (2:28 am): Viv: Oh, excuse me a moment... Pulls out her phone again, which has just buzzed briefly. A text message Sasha Newberg (2:29 am): tilt head Where are his parents? shylarah (2:29 am): L: looks away, silent, apparently relieved not to have to answer the question Frosty (2:29 am): F: ...they're one. Frosty (2:29 am): one Frosty* (2:29 am): (o.o) Frosty (2:29 am): (uh, brb, popping my key) Sasha Newberg (2:29 am): (gone?) Ash Fox* (2:30 am): (Lol, so that's what you kids call it these days) shylarah (2:30 am): ((ASH! chase!)) Ash Fox (2:30 am): (Scurries around giggling wickedly) Frosty (2:31 am): (Gone.) Frosty (2:31 am): F: ...They're gone. Sasha Newberg (2:32 am): I'm sorry to hear it. sighs Sasha Newberg (2:32 am): ~Him, too...~ Ash Fox (2:34 am): Viv: ...I'm sorry, it looks like I'm needed... Frosty (2:35 am): F: shrugs I shouldn't say anything else without him. Sasha Newberg (2:36 am): It would be impolite of you. nods shylarah (2:36 am): L: ....That's probably just as well...I think I am going to be heading back..... Ash Fox (2:37 am): Viv: Nod You're local to this city then? I'm only here on business myself. shylarah (2:40 am): L: ...well, I'm not exactly "local" anywhere, but....I've been staying here for a while, now, yes.... Ash Fox (2:41 am): Viv: Ahh, I see. Myself, I mainly come to this area on request from my master, when there are things he needs picked up from the local retailers. Frosty (2:41 am): F: sits back Anyway, try not to...react to it. He's a little sensitive, and he's really embarassed about it. shylarah (2:42 am): L: Your....master? doesn't really like the sound of that Ash Fox (2:43 am): Viv: Yes. I am a servant, or an attendant, if you prefer, of Mr Archibald. Sasha Newberg (2:43 am): I'm sorry if I upset him today. frowns Frosty (2:44 am): F: smiles Don't worry about it. shylarah (2:44 am): L: relaxes Oh. I thought you meant...shakes her head nevermind. Have a good evening, Vivienne. Sasha Newberg (2:46 am): Okay...well, then. Ash Fox (2:47 am): Viv: Smiles Something else, hm? I get that a lot. Nods And thank you, I hope you have a good evening too. Perhaps our paths will cross again some time. Sasha Newberg (2:47 am): turns to face him a little more If we're going to live together, it's only right that we learn more about each other. Sasha Newberg (2:47 am): I'm a regular customer of yours, but beyond that, very little. Frosty (2:48 am): F: Indeed. Where're you from? Frosty (2:48 am): (brbathroom) Sasha Newberg (2:48 am): This same city, actually. shylarah (2:48 am): L: bows politely Perhaps. I would like that, I think.... Ash Fox (2:50 am): Vivienne: Smiles a little more and bows in return I would as well. I shall keep an eye out, my errands for the next few days have me mostly in this area anyway. shylarah (2:51 am): L: smile Frosty (2:52 am): F: nods I grew up across town, in Grand Heights. Ash Fox (2:53 am): Vivienne: Until next time then. ^^ Nice meeting you! Turns with a wave and a smile to head off back down the street shylarah (2:53 am): ((I will be gone for perhps an hour around dusk, guys, and probably an hour at six Sandy-time. This coming session, that is.)) shylarah (2:53 am): ((maybe not, but best to lwt you know in advance)) Frosty (2:53 am): (CW time, Shy) Ash Fox (2:54 am): (I'll need to head to bed just now as it's now well beyond my usual sleeping time XD) Sasha Newberg (2:54 am): Grand Heights? blinks Sasha Newberg (2:55 am): Then we come from the same neighborhood. Frosty (2:55 am): F: Oh? earperk Ash Fox (2:55 am): (G'night guys :O) Frosty (2:55 am): F: Where in? My parents live about halfway down. Frosty (2:55 am): (G'night =O) shylarah (2:56 am): L: ....yes, I -- I suppose it was....watches her leave Ash Fox (2:56 am): (Ker-plode) Sasha Newberg (2:57 am): I lived in the upper areas. smiles Frosty (2:59 am): F: smile I see. shylarah (2:59 am): L: makes her way back to the hotel Sasha Newberg (3:01 am): Quite a coincidence. Frosty (3:01 am): F: Indeed! Frosty (3:02 am): E: in the atrium again Frosty (3:05 am): F: Up until a few months ago I lived in Canaus, though, I graduated from Central Canaus University. Sasha Newberg (3:06 am): Ah. smiles Did yyou enjoy this? Frosty (3:06 am): F: nods, smiling Sasha Newberg (3:07 am): I was sent to good schools for all of my iife. but I never sought higher education... glances off Frosty (3:07 am): F: I see. Sasha Newberg (3:08 am): It wasn't for me. Frosty (3:08 am): F: I understand. nod Sasha Newberg (3:10 am): What did you go there to learn? Frosty (3:10 am): F: Business. nod Sasha Newberg (3:11 am): It seems to have paid off. Whenever I travel to your store, I always see customers. Frosty (3:12 am): F: Yeah. smiles I still think of us as a small, out-of-the-way shop, but we get a lot of traffic. shylarah (3:12 am): L: eventually makes her way back to the atrium Frosty (3:13 am): E: sitting against a tree Frosty (3:13 am): E: reading a magazine shylarah (3:13 am): L: ...Eve? Frosty (3:13 am): E: Huh? looks up Sasha Newberg (3:13 am): Your inventory is excellent, it's no wonder. Frosty (3:14 am): F: smiles Thank you. Importing items, special-order, is pretty popular, too. shylarah (3:14 am): L: Did you want to talk to me? I'm sorry if you did and I wasn't here....I just...went out, for a while.... Frosty (3:15 am): E: shake head No...just a quiet place to read. nod Frosty (3:16 am): F: What do you do with all the stuff you buy, anyway? tilt head Sasha Newberg (3:17 am): Oh, it's mostly for collecting. Frosty (3:18 am): F: nod My father collects coins. shylarah (3:19 am): L: Ah. Alright, then. I'll leave you to it. heads into the tree Sasha Newberg (3:19 am): Ah. I don't just purchase them and set them down somewhere, though. Frosty (3:19 am): E: Thanks... Sasha Newberg (3:19 am): Sometimes I take walks at night, and bring my goggles, for example. Frosty (3:19 am): F: Yeah. smirk Coins aren't very fun to play with. Frosty (3:22 am): F: That laser...you'll see the beam itself, at night. Sasha Newberg (3:23 am): Indeed. I'll bring it on a walk soon, perhaps. Sasha Newberg (3:23 am): had been fishing through her purse, she has a coin that she starts flipping between her fingers, nimbly Frosty (3:24 am): F: Just be careful what you shine it at. smiles Sasha Newberg (3:24 am): You should know I'm responsible, by now. smirks shylarah (3:24 am): L: of course....vanishes into the trunk of the tree Sasha Newberg (3:25 am): flips the coin across the gaps in her fingers, then raises it to Frosty's nose, making it roll over it to her other hand where she does the same thing Frosty (3:26 am): F: blink Frosty (3:26 am): F: How do you do that? Sasha Newberg (3:26 am): I've always been nimble. amused shylarah (3:27 am): ((...you might say she has a way with money....giggle)) Frosty (3:28 am): F: Hmph. I might buy one of those lasers for Numl, for Christmas. Frosty (3:28 am): F: Lemme know how well it works. Sasha Newberg (3:28 am): puts it back in her purse I'll do that. Sasha Newberg (3:29 am): Does he like gadgets? Frosty (3:29 am): F: Who doesn't? He looked interested in the laser. nod Sasha Newberg (3:31 am): It's something anyone would play with, I suppose. Frosty (3:31 am): F: Indeed. Maybe I'll buy myself a blue one. Sasha Newberg (3:33 am): To match your frosty fur. smirks Sasha Newberg (3:33 am): ...I've never been around as many powered citizens, before today. Frosty (3:33 am): F: Really? tilt head Frosty (3:34 am): F: A lot of us here, are. nod My parents aren't powered... Sasha Newberg (3:34 am): shakes her head I was a little sheltered... Frosty (3:35 am): F: I see. Frosty (3:35 am): F: Well, we're normal. Powers excepting. smirk Sasha Newberg (3:36 am): I'm glad. smiles, with a yawn Sasha Newberg (3:36 am): glances at her watch I think it's time I retired for the night. Frosty (3:37 am): F: Very well. smiles Were you going to regsiter a room? Sasha Newberg (3:39 am): I should do that before turning in, shouldn't I. stands Frosty (3:40 am): F: stands Frosty (3:41 am): F: I'm in room 325, if you need me for anything. Sasha Newberg (3:41 am): gives her room number The same. Sasha Newberg (3:42 am): Goodnight, Frosty. smiles, dipping her head a little as a sort of gesture, and heads off Frosty (3:42 am): F: nods Goodnight, Sasha! Sasha Newberg (3:43 am): (And I think I'm done here) Frosty (3:43 am): (Arright =O) Sasha Newberg (3:44 am): (Goodnight~) ~Hope, like Love, never dies. It may seem to disappear at times, but it’s always there, ready to be found again.~

Also, every single month that contains a Friday the 13th starts on a sunday.) shylarah (9:47 pm): ((..the second is obvious. I don't believe the first one. It might take a long time, but it'll happen.)) Frosty (9:47 pm): Frosty: in the cafe, drizzling syrupt lightly on a couple of pancakes Frosty (9:47 pm): (No, it won't.) shylarah (9:47 pm): ((...why not?)) Comanche (9:47 pm): eating his morning donut Frosty (9:48 pm): (because that's how the gregorian calendar works, it's just a mathematical coincidence. The calendar repeats every 400 years. find a perpetual calendar and go back or forward four centuries and you'll see none of htem are on Sunday.)

Sasha Newberg (9:55 pm): (He's appeared in a number of movies, can do sweet tricks with a sword, is actually trained in martial arts) Comanche (9:55 pm): We uh, had the prints come back belonging to a flamingo... Frosty (9:55 pm): F: tilt head Like that Gato guy? Sasha Newberg (9:56 pm): F: enters the cafe, looking tired and unkempt Comanche (9:56 pm): nod ...hey Faust. Numl (9:56 pm): (Hmmm) shylarah (9:57 pm): L: in the tree Sasha Newberg (9:57 pm): F: Hi. sits down, putting his head on the table shylarah (9:57 pm): L: literally Numl (9:58 pm): N: heading for the tree in question, carrying his knife as he has to, hefted over a shoulder Numl (9:58 pm): N: he steps into the garden, looking for Lani Numl (9:59 pm): F?: heads into the cafe, ordering pancakes Frosty (9:59 pm): (?) Numl (9:59 pm): F?: It's Contrast, sure, but he's imitating Frosty now... including a suit Frosty (9:59 pm): (Oh) Comanche (9:59 pm): Something up Faust? shylarah (9:59 pm): L: half asleep inside the tree Numl (10:00 pm): C: goes to sit acrossed from Frosty Frosty (10:00 pm): F: looks up ... Sasha Newberg (10:00 pm): F: I didn't sleep well again. Numl (10:00 pm): N: frowns ~Is she here?~ Frosty (10:00 pm): F: hold hand out Give me my room key... Numl (10:00 pm): N: puts the weapon down behind some shrubbery ... Lani? Numl (10:01 pm): C: Huh? Numl (10:01 pm): C: I don't have your room key. Frosty (10:01 pm): F: Then why are you wearing my suit? Frosty (10:02 pm): F: fold arms Numl (10:02 pm): C: shakes his head It's my suit. Numl (10:02 pm): C: It's... very close to Frosty's suit, but on closer inspection, not identical shylarah (10:02 pm): L: steps out of the tree ....Numl -- is it really you? hopeful Frosty (10:02 pm): F: leans across the table and lightly whaps Contrast I'm the businessfox around here. fold arms Numl (10:02 pm): N: looks down Hi, Lani. Numl (10:03 pm): C: >.o Numl (10:03 pm): C: I didn't deserve that. Comanche (10:03 pm): Is there something bugging you Faust? shylarah (10:03 pm): L: Numl? Are you okay? concerned Numl (10:03 pm): N: Are you? Sasha Newberg (10:04 pm): F: ...I'm dealing with it, don't worry. Comanche (10:04 pm): Alright then shrug Comanche (10:08 pm): (Test) Numl (10:10 pm): C: So I did some digging around on this place's policy about powered citizens. I guess you can register involuntarily as one. shylarah (10:10 pm): L: ...More or less -- I'm much better than I was. But, Numl, please -- how are you doing? Frosty (10:10 pm): F: nod Numl (10:10 pm): (er) Numl (10:10 pm): (voluntarily) Numl* (10:10 pm): C: I think I should. Frosty (10:10 pm): F: You should. Frosty (10:11 pm): F: It's voluntary because a lot of powered-rights groups complained it was discriminatory. Frosty (10:11 pm): F: But it isn't, really. Numl (10:11 pm): C: It's way too easily something to use for crime to hide it if I'm going to be an attorney. Not that I would, but it would kind of look bad if I appeared to be trying to hide something like that, wouldn't it? Numl (10:12 pm): N: I'm alright. Not sleeping too well though. Frosty (10:12 pm): F: shrug I doubt they could prove you had specific intent in hiding it, but yeah, I guess so. Implied guilt is often enough in a courtroom. Numl (10:12 pm): N: I'm still carrying that thing around. shylarah (10:13 pm): L: I see. Numl, I don't blame you. I want you to know that. Numl (10:14 pm): N: I... I'm sorry I hurt you. shylarah (10:15 pm): Lani: ....Aw, Numl...c'mere. had already phased in, more or less opens her arms so she can give him a hug Numl (10:15 pm): N: steps forward, and does so Frosty (10:15 pm): F: Hmm. Frosty (10:15 pm): F: Sasha thinks she might move here. Numl (10:15 pm): C: Yeah? Numl (10:15 pm): C: What do you think of her? Comanche (10:16 pm): Sasha? Who's that blink Numl (10:16 pm): C: ~Wonder how weird it is to be talking face to face with himself.~ Frosty (10:16 pm): F: I like her. smiles We grew up in the same neighborhood. Numl (10:17 pm): C: Investments, huh. Frosty (10:17 pm): F: You seemed kind of suspicious. tilt head Numl (10:18 pm): C: Nah, not suspicious. Frosty (10:18 pm): F: looks at Comanche You'll probably see her this morning. Comanche (10:20 pm): Friend of yours I take it... should be interesting then shylarah (10:20 pm): L: hugs, though she's not /quite/ all there Listen, Numl. We all have our demons. Some of us just have ones that are more traditional than others'. Mine...my demons are the sort you can't even really define, because they're mostly from a memory I don't have anymore.... Sasha Newberg (10:20 pm): S: enters the cafe! Frosty (10:20 pm): F: Good morning, Sasha. wave Numl (10:20 pm): C: Good morning, Sasha. wave Sasha Newberg (10:21 pm): S: o_o shylarah (10:21 pm): ((....ccracks up)) Sasha Newberg (10:21 pm): S: Is that... walks closer Contrast, isn't it? Comanche (10:22 pm): Hi there smile Sasha Newberg (10:22 pm): S: looks between them Numl (10:22 pm): C: nods He's imitating me. Frosty (10:23 pm): F: c_c Comanche (10:23 pm): I don't think we've met. I'm Comanche Nod Sasha Newberg (10:23 pm): S: crosses her arms You're playing games, I see. shylarah (10:23 pm): ((...looks like no siv.)) Sasha Newberg (10:23 pm): S: turns to Comanche, smiling and handextending I'm Sasha. Numl (10:24 pm): C: starts turning Frosty into a replica of Contrast - he hasn't told Sasha that he can shapeshift others Frosty (10:24 pm): F: Just practicing. Numl (10:24 pm): F: has Contrast's voice, even Comanche (10:24 pm): shake hand So you're friends with Frosty? Numl (10:25 pm): C: Yeah. We grew up in the same neighborhood. Frosty (10:26 pm): F: never told Contrast that they never actually met as kids... Sasha Newberg (10:26 pm): S: I would say so. looks at the two, again Numl (10:26 pm): N: I... frowns I always thought she was just crazy. Sasha Newberg (10:27 pm): S: That's right. Grand Heights. Numl (10:27 pm): N: I never imagined she'd be right about me. Comanche (10:28 pm): Oh, the area with the most noise neighbor complaints than anywhere else in my district... Comanche (10:28 pm): smirk I'm chief of this district's department Numl (10:28 pm): C: ~Because Grand Heights people are uppity?~ Numl (10:29 pm): C: ~... blah, what is my problem with her? Stop thinking like a jerk.~ Numl (10:29 pm): C: ~You don't think about Frosty like that, why her?~ Comanche (10:30 pm): So, you're thinking of staying here? Numl (10:30 pm): (Cinder's going to the bathroom.) shylarah (10:32 pm): L: ....I don't know if she was right, or if her demons caused things to change so that she would be right. Either is possible, I would think. And I don't really care which one it is, either. takes a step back, so she can look Numl in the face To me, you're still Numl, and if you do have this....Trifecta side....that's just another part of Numl. You'll always be Numl, no matter what. Numl (10:32 pm): (And he's back) Sasha Newberg (10:32 pm): (back) shylarah (10:32 pm): ((weeba, Cinder)) Numl (10:33 pm): N: frowns I don't think she did anything to me. Numl (10:33 pm): N: I'm Trifecta. Maybe... maybe it has something to do with my father. Numl (10:33 pm): N: I don't know anything about him. Sasha Newberg (10:34 pm): S: Police chief? A respectable profession. smiles at Commie shylarah (10:34 pm): L: Oh...? Do you -- ah. Well, that would make it hard to talk about him.... Numl (10:34 pm): N: Don't have a single memory of him or anything, maybe he was long gone before I was born. Comanche (10:35 pm): Thank you smile back Frosty (10:35 pm): F: poke Contrast Numl (10:35 pm): C: poked Frosty (10:36 pm): F: veeery quietly Change both of us back while she's looking at him. Numl (10:36 pm): C: does, as fast as he can Frosty (10:36 pm): F: acts like Frosty and Contrast didn't just change seats..and clothes...and food. pancake Numl (10:36 pm): C: gets his own pancakes, eats Sasha Newberg (10:37 pm): sits down carefully, looking at Frosty and Contrast again shylarah (10:37 pm): L: What is so bad about Trifecta, that she wanted you to be destroyed? You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to, but...I would like to try to help, if I can. Sasha Newberg (10:37 pm): ... tilts her head, though she doesn't stare Comanche (10:37 pm): Something up Sasha? Numl (10:37 pm): C: doesn't seem to notice, looking out a window Frosty (10:38 pm): F: Hm? looks up as if curious as to what prompts the question of something being up shylarah (10:39 pm): L: ~it's the least I can do....~ Numl (10:39 pm): N: I... shylarah (10:40 pm): L: sits down and pats the spot next to her Numl (10:40 pm): N: I've been trying to teach myself how to move that knife without touching it. Sasha Newberg (10:40 pm): What did you two do? frowns Frosty (10:40 pm): F: Huh? Numl (10:40 pm): N: sits by her, glancing behind the plants he put it behind Numl (10:40 pm): C: look over, headtilt shylarah (10:41 pm): L: You mean, like you could while you looked different? Well...I know a bit about the theory of such things, though I'm not any good at moving anything other than myself....Do you recall how it felt, to move it before? Numl (10:41 pm): N: I can do it now. Numl (10:42 pm): N: I just have to concentrate. Numl (10:42 pm): N: Trifecta doesn't have to really even try, though... shylarah (10:42 pm): L: ...I don't remember you having to concentrate before. PErhaps it is because the person you would rather be is not one who would use such a thing.... Sasha Newberg (10:43 pm): looks unsure ...I guess it's nothing. I apologize. blushes, looking down at her food, eating some Numl (10:43 pm): N: looks over, behind the bushes, and holds his hand out.... with a little concentration, the sword slides through them and over to him, coming off the ground when it gets close and into his hands Frosty (10:43 pm): F: smirk It's all Contrast's fault. Comanche (10:44 pm): blink, also goes back to his coffee and donut I think you'll like it here if you stay. The pool is great shylarah (10:45 pm): L: ....can you do anything other than summon it? Sasha Newberg (10:45 pm): Frosty informed me of everything. smiles Sasha Newberg (10:46 pm): I may swim today. It's enjoyable. Numl (10:46 pm): N: I'm probably going to carry it like this... Numl (10:46 pm): N: lets go of it, and floats it onto his back, like it's in an invisible sheath shylarah (10:46 pm): L: ...you mean, by constantly thinking about it? Doesn't that get....tiring? Numl (10:47 pm): N: I'll get better at it. shylarah (10:47 pm): L: ....Numl, before all that happened...where was the knife? Comanche (10:48 pm): Yeah, I was hoping to go swimming as well, since I finally got a day off Frosty (10:49 pm): F: We should continue teaching Numl to swim... Frosty (10:49 pm): F: Well, he knows how, but. shylarah (10:49 pm): SK&B: in the pool area, actually, though not swimming Comanche (10:51 pm): Hmm, well I'm heading out there then stands, walking off Sasha Newberg (10:51 pm): Shall we go after breakfast? Frosty (10:52 pm): F: Sure! shylarah (10:52 pm): SK&B: have put a warning note on the door shylarah (10:52 pm): Note: CAUTION: live electrical current Comanche (10:52 pm): eventually arrives at the pool, and blinks as he sees the note Comanche (10:53 pm): (Note: POOLS CLOSED) Numl (10:53 pm): N: I don't really know. shylarah (10:53 pm): ((...heh.)) Comanche (10:53 pm): blink, step in shylarah (10:54 pm): SK&B: working together, using both water and electicity to create rather dangerous whips, tendrils, etc Comanche (10:54 pm): blinkblink Hey you two shylarah (10:55 pm): Bits: jumps and loses control of the water SK curses and tries to ground the electricity in something other than the water on the deck or Commie Comanche (10:56 pm): (The windows :O) shylarah (10:56 pm): ((...don't really conduct electricity)) Comanche (10:56 pm): (Glass = insulator) shylarah (10:56 pm): ((and I never thought of the pool as being next to the lobby, anyhow...so....shifty eyes)) Comanche (10:57 pm): (But I thought the pool was indoor oo) shylarah (10:57 pm): ((Everywhere I've been, the indoor pool is towards the back.)) Frosty (10:57 pm): F: Your eyes weren't decieving you, Sasha, we did switch places Frosty (10:57 pm): . Frosty (10:57 pm): (the last hotel I was in had it right by the lobby so it'd attract potential customers) shylarah (10:57 pm): ((....I saw a motel with an outdoor one right in the middle of the pariking lot!)) Sasha Newberg (10:58 pm): (Same, SX) Sasha Newberg (11:00 pm): crosses her arms Oh, I knew it. Frosty (11:00 pm): F: It's his fault. nod Numl (11:00 pm): C: I didn't tell you I can shapeshift others, did I? Numl (11:01 pm): N: I just have a feeling that, if I practice it... I'll get good enough that it won't even require concentration. Comanche (11:02 pm): How are you two? Sasha Newberg (11:02 pm): No, you did not. smirks Do you do such things to others as well? Numl (11:04 pm): C: Well. I have to have a sample of their DNA in me somewhere. Frosty (11:05 pm): (...it took me this long to take that out of context @ sample of DNA in me) Numl (11:05 pm): C: So just taking a sip of their drink or something is more than enough. Frosty (11:05 pm): (really?) Numl (11:05 pm): (Yeah, I noticed that before I even finished Contrast as a character concept.) Numl (11:05 pm): (What you are thinking of would work, too.) Frosty (11:07 pm): F: He can only do it to one person at a time, though. Sasha Newberg (11:07 pm): I see. shylarah (11:08 pm): (....giggles)) shylarah (11:09 pm): L: ....I am pretty sure you are right, Numl...looks away shylarah (11:09 pm): Sk: ....didn't you read the sign?! Numl (11:10 pm): N: I want to. Comanche (11:10 pm): It never said not to enter... you can't just take the pool when there are peopple that want to swim fold arms Sasha Newberg (11:11 pm): I've never seen anything quite that amazing in a powered citizen, honestly... shylarah (11:11 pm): L: Well, if that is what you want, then I hope it works out for you. quietly Frosty (11:12 pm): F: Yeah, and to think all I got was cold fur. Hmph. shylarah (11:12 pm): Sk: ...no, but you could have gotten shocked, startling Bits like that. shylarah (11:12 pm): Sk: besides, we really need somewhere with water to practice. Numl (11:13 pm): C: You're welcome to try. Comanche (11:14 pm): Go down to the lake or something then. Sasha Newberg (11:15 pm): (OMFG AWJRJOAUshNrbawhkrw) Numl (11:16 pm): (CINDER IS EPIC FAIL_ Frosty (11:16 pm): (Eeeeepiiiiic Faaaaaaail!) Frosty (11:16 pm): (?) Numl (11:16 pm): (He's spent like an hour trying to get pas this one spot in FEAR just dying over and over... he thought he FINALLY cleared it and I told him to be more cautious as he was running into the next area) shylarah (11:17 pm): (...ohnoes.)) Frosty (11:17 pm): (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyr-UHHMIrY&NR=1 ) Numl (11:17 pm): (Not only did he get jumped by two guys with shotguns that almost killed him, he then ran headlong into a powered armor guy that smoked him in one shot with the laser cannon thing.) Frosty (11:17 pm): (Hahaha) Numl (11:17 pm): (He raged and stormed off as I lulzed, and threw a die in the process) Numl (11:17 pm): (And got a 1) shylarah (11:18 pm): Sk: ....That is...rather inconvenient, Commie. I mean, people here know about what we can do...but.... Comanche (11:19 pm): Well do it at night then Numl (11:21 pm): N: I... Sasha Newberg (11:21 pm): Oh, I don't know if I could... hesitant Numl (11:22 pm): C: Don't have to. shrugs Sasha Newberg (11:22 pm): It's perfectly safe, isn't it? Frosty (11:22 pm): F: nod Numl (11:22 pm): N: frowns Is that okay? I, I want to at least know how to use this if I have to be stuck with it, but I don't want to scary anyone. Numl (11:23 pm): (scare) shylarah* (11:24 pm): L: ...Well, I am not afraid of it, but it might be a bit intimidating to others... Numl (11:25 pm): N: All I'll do around others is just carry it easy... shylarah (11:25 pm): Sk: ....handful of electricity raises eyebrow shylarah (11:25 pm): L: ...I mean, the knife itself....not how you go about carrying it.... Numl (11:26 pm): N: frowns I'm not able to put it too far away from myself. Numl (11:26 pm): N: If I could just leave it somewhere I would... Numl (11:30 pm): C: Yeah. It's safe. shylarah (11:31 pm): L: Yeah, I know.... Sasha Newberg (11:35 pm): Perhaps later. stands I'm ready to go for a swim. Frosty (11:35 pm): F: Ever breathed underwater? Numl (11:36 pm): N: looks at the knife, holding it up to sort of catch the light on the blade - though, the metal isn't very reflective at all; the thing actually looks somewhat worn and dull Sasha Newberg (11:37 pm): shakes her head I could do that, I'm assuming? shylarah (11:37 pm): L: ...who is Trifecta supposed to be, anyhow....? Numl (11:37 pm): N: I don't really know. Frosty (11:37 pm): F: I've done it. It's safe. nod Numl (11:37 pm): N: ... whoever I want to be when I'm like that, I guess. Comanche (11:38 pm): swimming now most likely shylarah (11:41 pm): L: I see. Well, whatever happens....puts an almost-there arm around him I won't stop thinking of you as Numl. Numl (11:41 pm): N: ... thanks. Sasha Newberg (11:42 pm): Well. Perhaps if Contrast would like to come along, I may try it. Numl (11:42 pm): C: Sure. Store's closed today, isn't it? Frosty (11:43 pm): F: Even God rests on Sundays, Connie. Frosty (11:46 pm): (test) Comanche (11:46 pm): (Pass) Comanche (11:46 pm): (Going to bed now. Night) Numl (11:46 pm): N: I sort of feel Trifecta, there, in me. Numl (11:46 pm): N: Not that it's a different person, but... Numl (11:47 pm): C: Well, let's go, then. Frosty (11:47 pm): F: stands I'll go get my swimsuit. heads off shylarah (11:47 pm): L: I....I think I know the feeling, or one like it.... Sasha Newberg (11:48 pm): I'll meet you all at the pool. heads off, too shylarah (11:48 pm): L: Don't thank me for this. I...I want you to understand something. When we first really talked, I told you I have no name -- that I go by names others choose. In choosing my name...well, it's not actually a tie, but....it cast you as a significant person, for me. I am named now....but for a short while, at least, when you did not recognise me -- I went back to having no name.... shylarah (11:48 pm): Bits: now in the pool shylarah (11:48 pm): Sk:: drying off Numl (11:50 pm): N :staring at something or other It's like, if I lay down one way for too long... shylarah (11:50 pm): L: ...? Numl (11:51 pm): N: I guess you wouldn't know what I mean by that. Sasha Newberg (11:51 pm): thus, a short while later, she walks into the pool, wearing a gray, fancy-looking one piece suit like pro swimmers wear shylarah (11:52 pm): L: ...it separates? Numl (11:52 pm): C: heads into the pool area a bit later Numl (11:52 pm): N: No, no. I... shylarah (11:53 pm): L: tilts her head can you try to explain, or would you rather not? Numl (11:53 pm): N: The only thing I can compare it to is getting uncomfortable laying down one way too long, so you have to move. Frosty (11:54 pm): F: heads into the pool area, towel draped over his shoulders, blue swimshorts Numl (11:54 pm): C: red swimshorts shylarah (11:54 pm): L: ...you mean, having....the Trifecta side within you? Numl (11:55 pm): N: It's like I have to stretch it. Numl (11:55 pm): N: I... I don't want to, though. People won't like it. shylarah (11:55 pm): L: Or else it will take over? Or is it just unpleasant? shylarah (11:56 pm): L: ....I don't mind.... Frosty (11:56 pm): F: I'll probably only swim for a while. Unless you guys wanted to go ice skating. Numl (11:56 pm): N: It won't take over, it's not some other person trying to control me. Frosty (11:56 pm): * a little while Sasha Newberg (11:56 pm): I was curious about that. looks at Frosty shylarah (11:56 pm): L: Sorry, I was thinking more along the lines of what sometimes happens to me. Numl (11:56 pm): C: Maybe I do. has a cup of water Sasha? heads over to her, holding the cup out to her Frosty (11:57 pm): F: I can stop it for a few hours dry, but it's harder in water. Sasha Newberg (11:57 pm): Ahh, I see. turns to Contrast Yes? Numl (11:57 pm): C: Take a drink of this. shylarah (11:57 pm): L: seriously, though, I don't think I'd mind you 'stretching' here. Numl (11:57 pm): C: Just water. Numl (11:58 pm): N: It's... me. That's why it feels bad to hide it. I don't want to scare anyone... but me as Trifecta doesn't want to hide, it wants to be, well. Out. looking down, struggling a little to find the words Sasha Newberg (11:58 pm): takes the cup, sipping from it shylarah (11:59 pm): L: Take your time. I'm listening. Numl (12:01 am): N: I... I shouldn't. Frosty doesn't want to see my like that. Numl (12:02 am): (me) Numl* (12:03 am): C: That's all. takes it back, taking a sip herself Numl (12:03 am): (himself) Sasha Newberg* (12:04 am): glances away for a moment, as he sips it Sasha Newberg (12:04 am): ~Oh, don't do that. It isn't that disgusting.~ shrugs it off Numl (12:06 am): C: puts it down, somewhere Give me a moment... shylarah (12:06 am): L: ...Frosty isn't here right now, and....if it really needs stretching, it is better to do it than to let it build up to where you don't really have a choice.... shylarah (12:06 am): L: However, it is up to you. Numl (12:06 am): N: He wouldn't want me to. I'm not even sure what I'll be like. What if I hurt someone? Numl (12:07 am): C: ~... huh, weird leg structure.~ Numl (12:07 am): C: glances at her oddly while she's looking away, before shapeshifting her, giving the addition of gills Sasha Newberg (12:09 am): indeed, she has some uniquely flexible joints, and seems to wear some apparently customized shoes even though she has digitigrade feet Numl (12:11 am): C: There you go - gills, on each side of your neck. They'll work automatically... let me adjust your buoyancy too. Sasha Newberg (12:11 am): Gills... reaches up, feeling them on her neck Buoyancy? shylarah (12:12 am): L: after a moment of thought....Besides, Numl -- why wouldn't Frosty approve? I mean....You might not remember, and you certainly weren't present for all of it, but when you went missing, he -- considers he was very concerned. I think I've seen him being around for you other times, too. Why would this be any different? Frosty (12:12 am): ("he was very concerned") Numl (12:13 am): (>very concerned) Frosty (12:13 am): (Has Lani been taking lessons from Frosty's father? Because that's one %+#+ of a spin control) Numl (12:13 am): (>reactionimage.jpg) shylarah (12:13 am): ((....she isn't sure how to say it....)) shylarah (12:13 am): ((...who's Frosty's dad?)) Numl (12:13 am): C: Yeah, how well you float. Numl (12:13 am): C: What's the fun in breathing underwater if you float back to the top? Frosty (12:13 am): (A high-class defense attourney) shylarah (12:13 am): ((....and she isn't sure what to make of it, either...)) shylarah (12:13 am): ((....ah.)) Sasha Newberg (12:14 am): I know what that means, but...ah, right. Sasha Newberg (12:14 am): Okay, then. turns to the pool, kicking off the edge with a dive Frosty (12:15 am): F: dives in shylarah (12:16 am): ((heh. nah, she's just trying to be...well, she's just being Lani, I think. She knew Frosty was upset, but she doesn't know Frosty all that well herself, so she isn't completely sure how he usually is....)) Frosty (12:17 am): (If Frosty acted that way normally he'd probably be in prison or an institution by now) shylarah (12:17 am): ((...yes, true.)) Frosty (12:23 am): (Hmm) Frosty (12:23 am): Sasha's car is joined by an almost equally nice-looking Porsche. Numl (12:23 am): N: Should I? Numl (12:23 am): N: I... Numl (12:24 am): N: frowns, shakes his head This is dumb. I won't. Numl (12:24 am): C: steps over to the edge, watching Sasha to see how she adjusts Numl (12:24 am): C: she'll find the water of the pool doesn't bother her eyes or blur her vision much at all... Sasha Newberg (12:25 am): starts to come up for air, as a reflex, but stops herself, sinking to the bottom Sasha Newberg (12:25 am): blinks a few times, looking up at Contrast - she waves, with a grin Frosty (12:25 am): F: swims to the bottom, waving at Sasha Sasha Newberg (12:25 am): turns and waves to Frosty next! Frosty (12:26 am): D: Dawn walks in, looking around, into hte cafe Numl (12:26 am): C: ~I've never seen legs quite like that.~ shylarah (12:26 am): L: ...if you say so, Numl. Sasha Newberg (12:26 am): F: still i nthe cafe, poking at his food Sasha Newberg (12:26 am): (in the) Frosty* (12:27 am): D: walks over Good morning, Faust. Sasha Newberg (12:28 am): F: looks up, in surprise Hi, Dawn. Sasha Newberg (12:29 am): F: What, um, what brings you here? Frosty (12:30 am): D: I was looking for my son, and Numl...have you seen them around? Sasha Newberg (12:30 am): F: Frosty was eating breakfast not long ago, I think he went to swim... Sasha Newberg (12:30 am): F: I don't know where Numl is. Frosty (12:31 am): D: Oh...glances at the pool area, but sits across from Faust How have you been? Sasha Newberg (12:31 am): S: kicks off the bottom, skillfully swimming around underwater Numl (12:33 am): C: dives in after her - he sinks straight to the bottom when he does, and stands there Numl (12:34 am): N: Yeah. nods I should just let it be. Comanche (12:35 am): (Well I WAS sleeping until I accidentally knocked the remote to my AC off the night stand, thus waking up D: ) Numl (12:35 am): N: looks upset, suddenly, on saying that Sasha Newberg (12:35 am): S: swims over to Contrast, standing across from him with a smile, she seems happy Numl (12:35 am): (brb) shylarah (12:36 am): L: ...Numl? is somthing wrong? shylarah (12:36 am): ((kk)) Numl (12:41 am): (back) shylarah (12:41 am): ((weeba)) Numl (12:42 am): C: grins, and waves "bye"; Sasha suddenly becomes very buoyant Sasha Newberg (12:44 am): S: flails as she floats upward, surprised Numl (12:44 am): N: It... hurts to say that. Numl (12:44 am): N: Not, physically, but... Sasha Newberg (12:45 am): F: I've been...not well, really. Numl (12:45 am): N: It's like I just told myself I'm not wanted. Sasha Newberg (12:45 am): F: With all that's happened lately...it's stressed me. Frosty (12:45 am): D: Frosty told me about what happened in the desert. shylarah (12:46 am): L: ....Numl, that's not true, and it's not going to be true. You /are/ wanted. Numl (12:46 am): N: Is Trifecta? Sasha Newberg (12:46 am): F: nods I thought he would by now... Sasha Newberg (12:46 am): S: but is laughing by the time she surfaces shylarah (12:46 am): L: Is Trifecta you? Numl (12:47 am): N: nods Frosty (12:47 am): D: He told me a few days ago. I waited...he just needd some time to let things go back to normal. nod Frosty (12:48 am): F: laughs shylarah (12:48 am): L: Then what do you think? Numl (12:48 am): C: swims up, after her Sasha Newberg (12:52 am): Oh, this is more fun than I thought it would be... amused Numl (12:52 am): N: I think I hate this, I... shylarah (12:53 am): L: The answer is, you are wanted. Here, at least. However you might be. Frosty (12:53 am): D: Are you doing anything for stress, Faust? Sasha Newberg (12:54 am): F: I've tried to deal with it on my own. Frosty (12:55 am): F: Yeah. I was kinda hesitant to breathe water. laughs Numl (12:55 am): C: You don't have to try, though. Gills don't take effort. Numl (12:55 am): C: If you didn't notice, I gave your eyes a little protection from the water... Sasha Newberg (12:57 am): I noticed that, too... Sasha Newberg (12:57 am): That is so amazing. You can do absolutely anything you want, I've never seen anything like it... Frosty (1:01 am): D: You shouldn't feel you have to. Frosty (1:01 am): D: Do you have a hobby, or anyhting? tilt head Sasha Newberg (1:02 am): F: Not really...traveling's always been what has entertained me. Numl (1:04 am): C: nods It's come in handy. And it's fun. Numl (1:04 am): C: How many people have the gift of freedom of form? Sasha Newberg (1:05 am): You're the first I've seen with such a thing. Frosty (1:05 am): D: Settling can be hard, huh? Frosty (1:05 am): D: You should get out sometime, then...try something new, something you can get into. Numl (1:06 am): C: Have anything else you want to try, now that you're used to it? shylarah (1:06 am): L: It isn't easy, ut....there are people here who believe in you. Frosty does -- and so do I. hug Sasha Newberg (1:06 am): F: I've thought about that. I haven't decided on anything. Sasha Newberg (1:06 am): F: Anything to do, that is. Frosty (1:07 am): D: What do you think you'd be interested in, just something you're curious about...anything? Sasha Newberg (1:08 am): I can't think of anything more...I can already swim quite well. Numl (1:11 am): C: Do you think you could swim better as, say, a mermaid? Sasha Newberg (1:12 am): blinks That could be rather fun... Numl (1:12 am): C: Probably wouldn't work with that swimsuit, though. Sasha Newberg (1:14 am): blushes, a little I would have to...yes. Numl (1:14 am): C: Some other time, then. Sasha Newberg (1:15 am): F: I... Sasha Newberg (1:17 am): F: I've always wanted to learn to drive, but. I have no car. Numl (1:17 am): (D: I'll take you driving.) Numl (1:17 am): (F: slams porsche into fire hydrant) Frosty (1:18 am): D: Really? tilt head Sasha Newberg (1:19 am): (lawl) Sasha Newberg (1:19 am): F: nods Frosty (1:21 am): D: Hmm. Driving schools have cars to teach students... Sasha Newberg (1:21 am): I'll have to buy a different swimsuit before we do this, then. Sasha Newberg (1:22 am): I'll get one tonight, when I go out. Numl (1:23 am): C: I have some other stuff I can show you, if you want. Sasha Newberg (1:25 am): Such as? Sasha Newberg (1:25 am): F: I think I have the money to pay for the lessons... Sasha Newberg (1:25 am): F: I'm going to look for a job, too. Frosty (1:26 am): D: A career or a job? Sasha Newberg (1:26 am): F: Job. Numl (1:26 am): C: Well. Numl (1:27 am): C: Like himself, he makes her muscles harden and become stronger - no bigger, but far tenser and more powerful feeling Sasha Newberg (1:28 am): Oh... blinks, surprised, noticing this pretty quickly Frosty (1:29 am): D: nods Tell you what. shylarah (1:29 am): ((poke numl)) Sasha Newberg (1:29 am): F: Hm? Frosty (1:29 am): D: If you get a driver's license, I'll let you drive my Porsche for a day. As long as you don't wreck it. Numl (1:29 am): (o o) Numl (1:29 am): (Sorry, shy =( ) Sasha Newberg (1:30 am): dives underwater, swimming around some with her new strength shylarah (1:30 am): ((It's okay)) Numl (1:30 am): N: This is just going in circles. Numl (1:30 am): N: picks his knees up, close to his chest Sasha Newberg (1:30 am): F: seems to look up, at that You would trust me? shylarah (1:30 am): L: ...just hugs him It'll work out, somehow Frosty (1:32 am): D: smiles We could wait just long enough for you to get a handle on driving. Numl (1:33 am): C: Now... enhances her vision - allowing her to, like Frosty, read a watch from acrossed a two-lane street without difficulty Numl (1:33 am): C: Her hearing becomes sharper as well, and her sense of smell Sasha Newberg (1:35 am): notices this, and pops up to the surface, gasping Oh...! Frosty (1:36 am): F: swims over to them Sasha Newberg (1:36 am): I can see, and hear, and...! Numl (1:37 am): C: Easy. holds his hands up slightly Numl (1:37 am): C: It's a lot at once. Sasha Newberg (1:37 am): F: Okay...I'm going to try it, then. Sasha Newberg (1:37 am): F: seems better, now that he has a set goal in mind Frosty (1:38 am): D: smile Sasha Newberg (1:40 am): F: Thank you, Dawn... Frosty (1:41 am): F: Try reading the label on that arcade machine on the far side of the lobby. Frosty (1:41 am): F: pooint at glass doors shylarah (1:41 am): L: ....are you going to be okay, Numl? Sasha Newberg (1:41 am): looks to the arcade machine, through the glass doors I can read it from here...! Frosty (1:41 am): D: It's no problem, Faust. I should get to know my son's friends better, anyway. Numl (1:43 am): N: I... hope so. Frosty (1:44 am): F: ~I've never seen her get so excited.~ shylarah (1:44 am): L: Why don't you just...tell me what you're feeling? Numl (1:46 am): N: I feel hopeless. Numl (1:48 am): C: Awesome, isn't it? Sasha Newberg (1:48 am): F: I'm glad to know you. You're...very nice. Numl (1:48 am): C: I keep myself like this all the time. Frosty (1:49 am): D: smiles Thanks, Faust. shylarah (1:49 am): L: ....oh, Numl...hugs tighter Whatever happens, I don't care. You'll still be you. Frosty (1:50 am): D: I'm just glad to know Frosty has people like you with him. nod Sasha Newberg (1:50 am): F: nods Frosty (1:50 am): Numl (1:46 am): N: I feel hopeless. Numl (1:48 am): C: Awesome, isn't it? Frosty (1:50 am): (the contrast amuses me) Frosty (1:50 am): (I'm sorry for the pun) Sasha Newberg (1:50 am): F: ~People like me...at least he didn't do something like I did.~ Numl (1:50 am): N: H... half of me's some kind of monster that nobody will want to be around. Frosty (1:52 am): D: How is everyone else doing? shylarah (1:52 am): ((.....heh)) Sasha Newberg (1:54 am): F: distracted look, for a moment ...oh, ah, they're doing alright. Sasha Newberg (1:54 am): F: I haven't been out of my room much, so I might be wrong... Sasha Newberg (1:55 am): (brb, bathroom) shylarah (1:55 am): L: Numl, listen to me. tries to turn his face so he's looking at her You're not a monster. Monsters are the ones that don't beat themselves up inside over something that wasn't really under their control. Monsters don't care about anyone -- that's not you. And even if half of you really doesn't care, that leaves a full half that /does/. That means you're not a monster. Frosty (1:56 am): (Numl: That's why I said only half of me is a monster, pay attention c_c) Sasha Newberg (1:57 am): (back) Sasha Newberg (1:57 am): It's amazing...I would do the same. looking around at things Frosty (1:58 am): D: I see. Numl (1:58 am): N: shuts up, trying to believe Lani, but he can't ... Frosty (1:58 am): D: Well. hands Faust a card, a business card Sasha Newberg (1:59 am): F: takes it, looking at it Frosty (2:00 am): D: You call me when you get your license. Numl (2:01 am): C: I've been thinking about putting on wings and trying to fly, but... Sasha Newberg (2:01 am): F: I'll do that. shylarah (2:01 am): L: .... looks him in the eye Numl...I don't care what you are. I will /never/ push you away. I can think of only one reason...and that's if being around /me/....is unsafe for some reason. Frosty (2:02 am): D: Or...if you just need to talk to someone. My phone's always on. smiles Sasha Newberg (2:02 am): Oh, I couldn't do that. laughs That's a bit much for me. Numl (2:02 am): N: L-Lani, I stabbed you. tearing up Frosty (2:02 am): F: if God intended me to fly, he'll grant me a private jet. smirk Sasha Newberg (2:02 am): F: smiles Thank you...it means a lot. Numl (2:03 am): C: Even if I don't fly, though, having wings feelts fun. backs up, and gets on the edge of the pool, sitting Numl (2:03 am): C: he shuts his eyes, and grows a pair of wings right there - particularly long ones, snow-white Frosty (2:05 am): D: nod Frosty (2:05 am): F: splash a wing, but only a little water. Cold water. Sasha Newberg (2:06 am): looks at his wings Oh, they look beautiful... Numl (2:06 am): C: folds that wing up against his back >.o Don't do that shylarah (2:07 am): L: ....I got in the way. I...I didn't want you to have that woman's blood on your hands. She wasn't worth that. I was trying to help, and I ended up doing the opposite. And....it's tearing you up. If I had known....I'm so sorry, Numl.... Frosty (2:08 am): (BRB, urge to consume popcorn rising) Numl (2:10 am): N: I... I'm going to go. wipes his eyes, talking shakily Sasha Newberg (2:14 am): Contrast? Would you be so kind as to give me a pair...? Frosty (2:14 am): (Back) shylarah (2:14 am): L: Alright....but I mean it. I don't care what you look like, or what you think you ought to be called. I'll be here, and to me, it'll still be you. hugs him before letting go Numl (2:14 am): C: The back of your swimsuit is low-cut... I could. Numl (2:15 am): C: Um, don't try to fly. Sasha Newberg (2:17 am): nods Numl (2:18 am): C: What color? Numl (2:19 am): C: gets rid of his own Sasha Newberg (2:19 am): Black and gray, like my fur? Numl (2:19 am): N: hugs back, a little longly, saying nothing Numl (2:19 am): C: Alright, get out of the water... once she does, she grows the requested wings, slowly Sasha Newberg (2:20 am): gets out of the water, sitting on the edge\ shylarah (2:20 am): L: holds him as long as he wants her to Frosty (2:20 am): F: You look good with wings, Sasha. shylarah (2:20 am): ((.....curse it! it won't open the save window!!)) Numl (2:21 am): C: There you go, give them a stretch. Sasha Newberg (2:21 am): Thank you, Frosty. smiles, looking back at them as she flutters them a little Numl (2:22 am): N: lets go, after so long I'm gonna... go see Frosty, I think. shylarah (2:23 am): L: That sounds like a good idea. And if you want me, just call. I'll keep an ear out for you, alright? Numl (2:24 am): N: nods Thanks... shylarah (2:25 am): L: Any time, Numl. ruffles his headfur a little Numl (2:28 am): N: forces a smile, and heads out Numl (2:29 am): N: he heads up to Frosty's room - I have no idea if this will make him cross paths with anyone Frosty (2:30 am): (does he cross through the lobby?) shylarah (2:30 am): L: watches him go, feeling -- again -- rather helpless. shylarah (2:30 am): ((...yeah, Dawn' thhere.)) shylarah (2:30 am): ((...I think he'd have to?)) Numl (2:31 am): (Yeah) Frosty (2:31 am): D: Hey, Numl! Numl (2:31 am): N: looks over, wiping his eyes quickly before he makes eye contact with her Frosty (2:32 am): D: waves him over Sasha Newberg (2:32 am): F: looks to Numl's direction, waves Numl (2:37 am): N: frowns, and heads over Numl (2:37 am): N: goes into the cafe Hey... Frosty (2:38 am): D: hugs him Numl (2:39 am): N: hugs back, with one hand Sasha Newberg (2:40 am): F: pats Numl's shouder Frosty (2:40 am): D: leans down next to him Frosty told me about what happened...how are you holding up? Numl (2:42 am): N: quietly Worse. Frosty (2:42 am): D: nods ... Sasha Newberg (2:43 am): F: ...is there anything we can do for you? Numl (2:44 am): N: I don't know. Numl (2:47 am): N: It's... I don't want to ever turn into that again, that thing was... Numl (2:47 am): N: I don't even know. Frosty (2:48 am): D: You won't need to, Numl. Frosty (2:49 am): D: We'll be here for you. smiles at him, faintly Numl (2:49 am): N: ... t-that's the problem, I -am- that, and... I don't know how to say it. Frosty (2:51 am): D: Say what? Numl (2:52 am): N: Okay, okay, I... imagine you... imagine you share a body with someone. Frosty (2:52 am): D: nods Numl (2:52 am): N: Like, not siamese twins, but sort of two personalities, and only one's out at a time. Frosty (2:53 am): D: ...it wants to be let out? Numl (2:53 am): N: N-now... imagine you're the one that's inside, and the one out's... s-saying things like, it doesn't want to turn into that again. Frosty (2:54 am): D: You feel like you're...insulting yourself? Numl (2:54 am): N: It hurts to hear that. Numl (2:55 am): N: It's... not two different people, though, like I said, I feel both. Frosty (2:56 am): D: I think I know what you're saying. nods ... Numl (2:58 am): N: wipes his eyes Frosty (2:59 am): F: Hmm. Frosty (2:59 am): F: Sasha? Frosty (2:59 am): D: hugs him, again Numl (3:00 am): N: hugs back What should I do...? Sasha Newberg (3:00 am): Hmm? still liking her wings Frosty (3:00 am): D: Try to...understand. Is there anyhting you think I can do for...him, for you? Frosty (3:01 am): F: You saw Connie earlier pretending to be me. pulls himself to the edge of the pull, sitting by her Who's the better businessfox, Connie or me? Numl (3:03 am): C: Hmph. I'll make your fur all matted and nasty. Frosty (3:03 am): F: Cheater. Numl (3:04 am): N: I... sigh Are you... scared of me? Frosty (3:04 am): D: No. Sasha Newberg (3:05 am): smiles I think I would say Frosty, because he also has the experience, not just the look. Frosty (3:05 am): F: perk Numl (3:07 am): N: But, I have this thing, and... when I turn into that, I, there's this black fire, and I end up taller, I have black and red eyes, and... Numl (3:07 am): N: A-and I killed someone. Frosty (3:07 am): D: You killed someone who hurt you, very much. Numl (3:09 am): N: My... my friend was in the way, I stabbed -through- them to get her. Frosty (3:09 am): D: Lani. Frosty (3:09 am): D: Right? Numl (3:09 am): N: nods Frosty (3:10 am): D: Frosty said that she said...she was gonna be alright. Numl (3:11 am): N: She, she will, she's... kind of like a ghost, but what if it was someone else trying to stop me? Frosty (3:12 am): D: Stop you from what, Numl? You didn't go on a blind rampage, that day. You...you fought back. But you don't need to fight back anymore. Numl (3:13 am): N: B-but if it wasn't someone like Lani, they'd be... dead. Numl (3:13 am): N: W... what if it was Frosty? Frosty (3:14 am): D: ...closes her eyes shylarah (3:17 am): ((test)) shylarah (3:23 am): ((well, I guess I'm out....)) Frosty (3:23 am): (Wait) Frosty (3:23 am): (was just discussing something in IM) Numl (3:23 am): N: It, it could have been. shylarah (3:23 am): (....okie)) Frosty (3:24 am): D: It wasn't. Frosty (3:24 am): (Did you want to leave for any othe rreason Shy or was the RP just dead) Frosty (3:24 am): (If you wanted to leave anyway go ahead, if njot Frosty still needs to talk to Lani) shylarah (3:25 am): ((..ell, I am getting tired, and I don't really have---ah, okay.)) shylarah (3:25 am): ((I guess I do have something to do. ^.^ I just tend to fall asleep if I have nothing to do at this hour.)) Numl (3:25 am): N: frowns Say... say I wanted to try and bring that out again, but, not to hurt anyone. shylarah (3:26 am): ((...well, Numl, you could ask Lani. She only got /hurt/ because she was stupid enough to be phased in. ><)) shylarah (3:26 am): ((....I did not type a smilicon!)) Frosty (3:27 am): D: Do you think you could? Numl (3:27 am): N: I can. Frosty (3:27 am): (Shy hasn't discovered the secret of typing < ) shylarah (3:27 am): L: sigh and turn to step slowly back into the tree Frosty (3:27 am): (less-than-parenthesis) shylarah (3:28 am): ((Oh? &lt; ) shylarah (3:28 am): ((...hm...)) Frosty (3:28 am): (You have a space. I don't. =3) shylarah (3:28 am): ((&lt;) shylarah (3:28 am): ((...what's the code for a parenthesis....)) Frosty (3:29 am): (Nope. Anyway, play with chat glitches later, pl;z) shylarah (3:30 am): ((><><)) shylarah (3:30 am): ((Ha!)) shylarah (3:30 am): ((okay.)) Numl (3:32 am): C: =( Numl (3:32 am): C: I want to be a good businessfox. Frosty (3:32 am): D: Hmm...why do you want to - do you just want to get used to it, or do you feel you need to, or...? Frosty (3:32 am): F: Aww. You'll be a good businessfox someday, Connie. Frosty (3:32 am): F: Or maybe a businesscollie. Numl (3:33 am): N: I couldn't go on with half my mind hating the though that he's not fit to see the light of day. Frosty (3:34 am): D: Do you think you can...switch back and forth, easily? Frosty (3:34 am): D: I don't know anyhting about how...you, how you work. sorry if that's a silly question. Numl (3:38 am): D: I think so. Numl (3:38 am): (N) Frosty* (3:40 am): D: Maybe we should...take you to a field, or something, and let you try out whatever you need to there. Numl (3:43 am): N: I... I have to, don't I? Frosty (3:44 am): D: When do you think you should go? Numl (3:46 am): N: frowns ... Somewhere outside of the city. shylarah (3:47 am): ((brb)) Frosty (3:47 am): D: Maybe to the desert to the east? Frosty (3:52 am): F: Hmm. drying out his tail. He glances through the window into the lobby ...Hey! Numl (3:52 am): N: ... that was where... Frosty (3:52 am): D: No, not there. Frosty (3:52 am): D: Just past hte edge of the city. Numl (3:52 am): C: earperk What? Sasha Newberg (3:52 am): drying off, herself What is it? Frosty (3:52 am): D: There's a highway that leads out there, it's usually pretty quiet on that end of the city, so you head out into the desert a little and you have a lot of open space. Frosty (3:53 am): F: When did my mom get here? tilt head Sasha Newberg (3:53 am): looks to the lobby Which lady is she? Frosty (3:54 am): F: White fur, sitting by Faust and Numl. Numl (3:55 am): N: I'll do it. Frosty (3:56 am): F: towels off. before putting on a shirt he left by his towel and heaidng out through the lobby Numl (3:57 am): C: stays behind Numl (3:57 am): C: Hey... Sasha? Sasha Newberg (3:58 am): waves to Frosty as he leaves, then looks at Contrast Yes? Frosty (3:58 am): D: looks up Frosty. Frosty (3:59 am): F: Mom. walk over, hug, smile Numl (3:59 am): C: Care if I turn you back to normal now? I prefer to not keep people changed when they aren't close to me. Numl (3:59 am): N: Hi, Frosty. Sasha Newberg (3:59 am): tilts her head That's fine, if you'd like. Numl (4:00 am): C: does so ... Numl (4:00 am): C: I, I can sort of make out people's shape when I have their DNA. Numl (4:00 am): C: And... there's something unique about your legs, isn't there? Sasha Newberg (4:01 am): I've always been in fine shape, quite flexible...what are you referring to, exactly? Frosty (4:02 am): F: hugs Numl next How're you guys doing? to Faust, Numl, and Dawn Sasha Newberg (4:03 am): (I didn't have anything I wanted to say about the Numl thing, so I just assumed Faust left) Numl (4:04 am): N: Talking about... Trifecta. Numl (4:04 am): C: More flexible than any fox I've seen. Frosty (4:05 am): F: Oh, I see. Numl (4:05 am): C: You... can move on all fours, can't you? Sasha Newberg (4:05 am): ...yes. nods Yes, I can. Numl (4:06 am): C: ... grins Cool. Numl (4:08 am): (test) Sasha Newberg (4:08 am): Well, thank you...I don't walk that way in public. It doesn't seem fitting. Numl (4:09 am): C: Nah, I guess not. Numl (4:10 am): C: Care if I, erm, borrow it? I want to try it myself. Sasha Newberg (4:11 am): You mean copy it for yourself? smiles Certainly. Numl (4:11 am): C: Yeah. I'd be interesting to try. Numl (4:12 am): C: You aren't embarassed about this, are you? Sasha Newberg (4:12 am): Why would I be embarrassed? Numl (4:13 am): N: I... think I have to try being like that again. Frosty (4:14 am): F: ...Oh? Frosty (4:14 am): F: looks at Dawn Frosty (4:14 am): D: We were talking about driving past the edge of the city, maybe to the desert or into the mountains. Numl (4:15 am): C: smirks It's not very ladylike, is it? Sasha Newberg (4:15 am): Well, it isn't. But I'm proud of being able to do something to unique. Sasha Newberg (4:15 am): I walk around like that when I'm alone. Numl (4:16 am): C: Really? Sasha Newberg (4:16 am): (so unique) Sasha Newberg* (4:16 am): Yes. nod Numl (4:16 am): C: All the time when you're alone? Is it comfortable? Numl (4:17 am): N: explains to Frosty what he explained to Dawn and Lani, about feeling from both personalities Sasha Newberg (4:17 am): Nearly all the time. It feels completely natural, actually. Frosty (4:18 am): F: I see. Numl (4:18 am): C: looks around Nobody else is around. Sasha Newberg (4:19 am): Indeed...oh, I don't know if I should. Sasha Newberg (4:19 am): has a slight smile like she wants to try it, though Numl (4:21 am): C: You don't have to. I won't tell anyone about this either. shylarah (4:21 am): (RE) Numl (4:21 am): N: ... is this a bad idea? Frosty (4:21 am): F: ...I don't know. What do you think? Sasha Newberg (4:22 am): I suppose it wouldn't hurt... Numl (4:22 am): N: I... I'm scared of myself. Frosty (4:23 am): F: ...hey. shylarah (4:24 am): Bits: not in the pool anymore -- she's actually looking for Faust Frosty (4:24 am): F: kneels down, hugs him When I said we were gonna help you, I didn't mean, only hte parts of you that we might prefer. I mean, we're going to help you, whatever you happen to be...alright? Numl (4:25 am): N: smiles ... t-thank you. Numl (4:25 am): N: his eyes seem a little more orange than normal... Sasha Newberg (4:26 am): F: in his room Frosty (4:26 am): F: Were we going to leave soon? shylarah (4:27 am): B: eventually makes her way to his room, but hesitates at the door Numl (4:27 am): N: Can we go tomorrow?

Sasha Newberg (4:32 am): Very well, then. shylarah (4:32 am): B: ..... knocks again, slightly louder Frosty (4:32 am): F: Hey, while you're here, Mom, you should meet someone. smiles She's a friend - a regular customer who's just moving here now. Sasha Newberg (4:32 am): looks around, before dropping down to all fours Sasha Newberg (4:34 am): F: Hello? The door's unlocked... Frosty (4:34 am): D: Oh? Frosty (4:34 am): F: nods We were just swimming in the pool...walks off, heading across the lobby Frosty (4:34 am): D: looks down at Numl Sasha Newberg (4:34 am): starts walking along the edge of the pool like that - it looks oddly natural, the same motions as a nonanthro fox Numl (4:35 am): C: watches That does look cool. Numl (4:35 am): C: And yet you'd never guess looking at you normally. Frosty (4:35 am): F: walks into the pool area shylarah (4:36 am): B: o.0;; ..... doesn't feel comfortable opening the door...tries knocking again Sasha Newberg (4:36 am): her tail's swishing a little, though she doesn't seem to notice I'm flattered... Frosty (4:36 am): F: Hey, I- ...interrupting anything? Numl (4:36 am): C: earperk Numl (4:36 am): C: looks over Numl (4:36 am): C: ~ah, crap, of course~ Sasha Newberg (4:36 am): ...ah! hops back up to her feet Numl (4:36 am): C: Did you find it? acting natural Frosty (4:37 am): F: blinks Lose something?

Sasha Newberg (4:37 am): My earrings. nods Frosty (4:37 am): D: smiles and starts to follow to the pool area Numl (4:38 am): C: looks under a chair, himself, kneeling down Frosty (4:38 am): F: You took them off before you went swimming. Did you leave them in your room? Sasha Newberg (4:38 am): I set them down somewhere, I thought they were by my towel but they aren't anymore... Sasha Newberg (4:38 am): I might have. I'll look there if we can't find them. shylarah (4:39 am): Sk: ~Bits. Just /do/ it already!~ B: opens the door, her hand shaking Frosty (4:39 am): F: Alright...hey, I wanted you to meet my mom. smiles You'll love her. Numl (4:39 am): C: We'll look around for them later, then...? Frosty (4:40 am): D: Enter pool area Numl (4:40 am): C: ~Dodged a bullet there. That's at least a lot better than "yeah, she can move like a quadruped and was showing it off at my request" isn't it?~ Sasha Newberg (4:40 am): nods at Contrast I'll find them eventually. Sasha Newberg (4:40 am): looks at Frosty Oh? smiles Frosty (4:40 am): D: Unlike last time, she's wearing a nice dress this time - she's not on call.

I'm happy here, but I still miss it, in a way... Frosty (4:58 am): F: Me too. But this hotel has its' own sort of charm...glances around Numl (4:59 am): C: ~Wonder why she moved away?~ Numl (4:59 am): C: Anyways... I'm going to go and get to bed early. Sasha Newberg (5:01 am): Oh, it does. Frosty (5:01 am): D: Oh? Frosty (5:01 am): D: smile Good to see you again, Contrast.

Numl (5:08 am): N: He's drinking some orange juice because he's a kid with notions of healthy diet and heard there's antioxidants or something in OJ Numl (5:09 am): N: ~Antioxidants are good, right?~ Frosty (5:09 am): (BS. Orange juice is just a really sugary drink that adults let kids drink by the gallon. :P) Numl (5:09 am): (Unless it's 100% orange juice) Frosty (5:10 am): F: Oh, I see him. Numl (5:10 am): ( << >> << ) Numl (5:10 am): (Sunny D on the other hand...)

Sasha Newberg (5:16 am): Yes, Frosty? Frosty (5:18 am): F: Would you go out for dinner to me tonight? smiles As you said yesterday, we don't know each other too well. We could change that. nod Sasha Newberg (5:18 am): Tonight? pauses Sasha Newberg (5:19 am): looks at him for a moment I suppose we could do that. Sasha Newberg (5:19 am): ~He certainly seems honest about his intent, unlike most men...~ Numl (5:20 am): (Goodnight guys) Frosty (5:24 am): F: smiles The Greek place over on Kidd street, do you know it? Sasha Newberg (5:26 am): If I'm thinking of the right place, I've been there a few times before. smiles back Frosty (5:26 am): F: I'll go call ahead for a reservation. smiles Frosty (5:26 am): (And I think I'm done for the night) Sasha Newberg (5:29 am): (Me too) ~Hope, like Love, never dies.

Frosty (8:10 pm): F: But you do deserve an apology. That's not...I don't normally do that. shylarah (8:11 pm): SK&B: enter cafe shylarah (8:11 pm): ((I see a TERG!)) shylarah (8:11 pm): L: .... shylarah (8:12 pm): L: You were upset. It happens. pause I was not as kind as I could have been, either.... Frosty (8:13 pm): F: Much as I'd like to think otherwise, I know I acted more than "upset." Frosty (8:13 pm): F: I;'m not normally that...violent. Sasha Newberg (8:13 pm): (Steak's ready) Sasha Newberg (8:13 pm): (bbs) Comanche (8:13 pm): Hey Sparks, Bits Frosty (8:14 pm): E: looks up, smiling at Bits shylarah (8:14 pm): Sk: grin Hey, Comanche shylarah (8:17 pm): B: small smile for Commie....somewhat bigger smile for Eve shylarah (8:17 pm): L: ...okay..... Tergonaut (8:17 pm): (guess Commie's not having much luck with the ladies lately, eh? :P) shylarah (8:18 pm): ((....Bits and Eve are of a kind....)) Silver (8:18 pm): [That or Eve- SHOT PREEMPTIVELY] Frosty (8:19 pm): (reload) shylarah (8:19 pm): ((....heehee)) Frosty (8:22 pm): F: Anyway...sorry. looks up at her I don't normally do that kind of thing. Frosty (8:22 pm): F: IS there anything I can do for you? Tergonaut (8:27 pm): (oo) shylarah (8:29 pm): L: ....I don't know. I mean...Well...I've been feeling rather...useless, lately. shylarah (8:30 pm): L: All I can do is illusion. Even /I/'m not really here. Frosty (8:30 pm): F: Hm... Frosty (8:32 pm): F: ...Well, hopefully we won't have to go on any mroe rescues for a while. sigh Frosty (8:33 pm): F: Don't worry about having to be useful. You're Numl's friend...and he needs friends right now. Comanche (8:34 pm): It's nice how quiet things have been lately... shylarah (8:35 pm): L: Yes...I know. And -- I am glad you are a friend of his too. Frosty (8:35 pm): F: nods shylarah (8:39 pm): L: I'm...actually going to find a sword today, with Silver. I know how to use one, but I don't actually have one. He says he knows some places I can go to get a decent blade. Frosty (8:39 pm): F: A sword? shylarah (8:40 pm): L: nod I don't think illusions will work well on the Faceless Frosty (8:40 pm): F: Yeah... Frosty (8:40 pm): F: I wouldn't want them that close to me. Heh. Frosty (8:41 pm): F: tilts his head I...forgot about the faceless, kinda. shylarah (8:42 pm): L: Well, I do have a slight advantage over you there. Since I don't really have an identity, I...don't think they can actually take my face.... Silver (8:42 pm): Yeah, I suppose. ...Though, you have to wonder if those faceless things will come back, we didn't get all of them that one time. Silver (8:42 pm): [Had completely forgotten about the Faceless.] Silver (8:42 pm): [>>;;] shylarah (8:42 pm): ((....giggle)) Comanche (8:42 pm): I'm sure they will, but once we deal with this ThatMan character, itshouldn't be a problem Frosty (8:43 pm): F: shrug Frosty (8:43 pm): E: That man? Frosty (8:43 pm): E: bites her lip, remembering Ryan shiver Silver (8:45 pm): [...I'm going to stop reading before this book murders my diction] Silver (8:46 pm): [almost had silver say "Let us not talk of such unpleant things, though."] Frosty (8:46 pm): (XD) shylarah (8:46 pm): L: I should probably go find him, actually. ((....giggle)) shylarah (8:48 pm): Bits: .... looks about as happy as Eve Frosty (8:48 pm): F: Who? Comanche (8:48 pm): I don't think they'll bother us that much now Frosty (8:48 pm): E: That's good... ... shylarah (8:50 pm): L: Silver. So I can look for a sword. Frosty (8:50 pm): F: Oh, right...shrug shylarah (8:50 pm): Sk: ....what man? Frosty (8:50 pm): F: I'll be around. Thanks, Lani. turns Comanche (8:51 pm): Some guy calling himself ThatMan says he is responsible for the things Frosty (8:52 pm): E: ...oh. shylarah (8:52 pm): L: ....wait, Frosty....Thank you. dashes after him and gives him a half-hug and apology accepted. smile Frosty (8:53 pm): F: ...thanks. smiles Sasha Newberg (8:53 pm): (Back) shylarah (8:55 pm): ((weeba)) Silver (8:56 pm): shrugs Well, that saves us the trouble of trying to find out who's responsible, at least. Frosty (8:56 pm): F: heads upstairs, a little more upbeat Comanche (8:58 pm): Yeah. Strange guy too Frosty (8:59 pm): F: heads into the cafe, looking around Good morning! Comanche (8:59 pm): Heya Frosty shylarah (8:59 pm): L: goes to find Siv, and eventually locates him in the cafe Sasha Newberg (8:59 pm): finishing her breakfast, she waves at Frosty, perking up Tergonaut (9:00 pm): (afk) shylarah (9:01 pm): L: enters the cafe Lani-style -- in this case, at an angle, and through a wall. In other words, not a way most people could do it Frosty (9:03 pm): F: sits across from Sasha, grabbing only a bagel this morning shylarah (9:03 pm): L: Silver! Silver (9:04 pm): waves at Lani, standing You ready to go? Sasha Newberg (9:04 pm): Good morning. Comanche (9:04 pm): Hi there Lani Frosty (9:04 pm): F: Good morning. Sasha Newberg (9:06 pm): Did you sleep well? Frosty (9:06 pm): F: Yes, I did. You? Sasha Newberg (9:07 pm): I did. smiles Sasha Newberg (9:07 pm): Mm. Yesterday was a good day. sips some water Frosty (9:07 pm): F: nods Frosty (9:07 pm): E: tilt head Who is she? quietly shylarah (9:10 pm): L: Yes. lands and phases most of the way in shylarah (9:11 pm): L: Hey, Commie, Eve. shylarah (9:11 pm): ((brb)) Frosty (9:12 pm): E: Hi... Frosty (9:12 pm): F: And a good night. sips...coffee Tergonaut (9:13 pm): (back) shylarah (9:13 pm): ((weeba00 Silver (9:14 pm): [BRB, foods] Sasha Newberg (9:14 pm): Indeed. water sip Sasha Newberg (9:15 pm): Frosty, can I ask a favor of you? Frosty (9:16 pm): F: Of course. Sasha Newberg (9:17 pm): I'm going to move the rest of my belongings into my room today. I was curious if you could help me...? Frosty (9:17 pm): F: nods Sure. Frosty (9:17 pm): F: I have something I promised I'd dowith Numl this morning. Sasha Newberg (9:18 pm): Oh? Frosty (9:19 pm): F: nods It's a little personal, sorry... Sasha Newberg (9:21 pm): I understand... nods Sasha Newberg (9:21 pm): I wanted to talk to him today. Frosty (9:22 pm): F: Oh? shylarah (9:22 pm): ((re)) shylarah (9:23 pm): ((...Sasha doesn't bat an eye at Lani, eh?)) Frosty (9:24 pm): (She's probably already determined that the residents are a little weird. :P) Sasha Newberg (9:24 pm): nods should have been more polite when I first saw him... Sasha Newberg (9:24 pm): (I should Frosty* (9:25 pm): F: Ah. nod shylarah (9:25 pm): B: look at Eve; raise eyebrow to ask how she's doing Frosty (9:26 pm): E: just nods, looking down. shylarah (9:27 pm): ((I see a Bauks!)) Comanche (9:27 pm): (Test) Tergonaut (9:30 pm): (oo) Sasha Newberg (9:30 pm): Is he interested in the gadgets you sell? Frosty (9:30 pm): F: nod shylarah (9:31 pm): B: hesitates, and then reaches out to touch Eve's shoulder, wondering if something is wrong Frosty (9:31 pm): F: He loves helping in the shop. Frosty (9:31 pm): E: closes her eyes. She didn't sleep well. Sasha Newberg (9:33 pm): Perhaps I'll show him some of the things I have. I want to try the laser on things. Frosty (9:33 pm): F: He'd like that. shylarah (9:34 pm): B: blink wonders if there was some significant reason Frosty (9:34 pm): E: shrug shylarah (9:34 pm): B: shrug, small smile shylarah (9:34 pm): ((...giggle)) shylarah (9:36 pm): ((....terg? pokes in the "where are your people? o.0;;" )) Tergonaut* (9:39 pm): (pokes in the "where is your response to my PM" :P) shylarah (9:39 pm): ((...PM?)) Silver (9:42 pm): [Back] shylarah (9:42 pm): ((weeba))) Sasha Newberg (9:44 pm): I'll do that, then. Tergonaut (9:45 pm): (and my peeps aren't in here 'cause I'm not RPing yet oo) Silver (9:45 pm): Alright then. to those at the table If you'll excuse me, I'm going to help Lani with finding a sword. Frosty (9:45 pm): E: ? shylarah (9:47 pm): L: mostly recovered from her injury the other day Frosty (9:49 pm): F: Hmm. I think I'm gonna look through one of my catalogues sometime soon. See if there's anything he'd like for Christmas. shylarah (9:49 pm): ((glomp)) Bauks (9:49 pm): (Hey, guys. Sitrep?) shylarah (9:49 pm): ((Welcome aboard, Bauks!)) Frosty (9:50 pm): (Everyone's in the cafe, Frosty's with Sasha and Eve's with Commie and Siv and Lani and Bits) Tergonaut (9:50 pm): (yowdy) Bauks (9:56 pm): (test) Frosty (9:56 pm): (...and it's more than a little dead) Bauks (9:56 pm): (Hm, what to do today...) shylarah (9:56 pm): ((....Frosty said sorry, Lani said it's okay, Sasha's movin' in -- seems she's gonna stay. Frosty told Numl --nvm, I don't feel like any more rhyming.)) Bauks (9:57 pm): (Planned on doing that Numl thing) shylarah (9:58 pm): ((...yep.)) Frosty (9:58 pm): (Yeah, Frosty mentioned that) shylarah (9:58 pm): ((that's why I had it.)) Bauks (10:00 pm): N: seeking Frosty out, then Frosty (10:02 pm): F: finished with his bagel and coffee shylarah (10:04 pm): L: So...Where are we going first? omewhat eager -- but also worried about everything tht could go wrong shylarah (10:04 pm): ((...don't forget, Sparks is in the cafe too.) Silver (10:13 pm): There's a shop not too far from here, within walking distance. They have a pretty good selection, too. Bauks (10:13 pm): (sorry guise) Bauks (10:13 pm): (having a political talk with someone, is over) Bauks (10:13 pm): N: approach Frosty Good morning... Frosty (10:14 pm): F: Hey, Numl. turns, looking at him Sasha Newberg (10:14 pm): Good morning, Numl. Bauks (10:14 pm): N: sit, eating an apple shylarah (10:17 pm): L: ....Walking distance isn't much of a consideration for me, but it sounds like a good place to start. Frosty (10:17 pm): F: How're you feeling? Bauks (10:18 pm): N: ... nervous. Are we still going to do this? Frosty (10:18 pm): F: Yeah. nod Sasha Newberg (10:19 pm): Should I leave you two be? quietly Frosty (10:19 pm): F: We'll head just outside the city in a little bit, Sasha. looks back at her Bauks (10:21 pm): N: Alright. takes a breath Just me and you and Dawn? Frosty (10:22 pm): F: Yeah...she'll be here any minute. nod Frosty (10:22 pm): D: And in any minute, Dawn's Porsche parks in front of the hotel. shylarah (10:23 pm): L: Let's get going. Bauks (10:24 pm): N: ~I've got butterflies...~ shylarah (10:25 pm): L: heads for weapon shop with Siv? Silver (10:26 pm): Yes, Fast Forward to the shop shylarah (10:26 pm): L: looks at the storefront, trying to get a feel for it shylarah (10:26 pm): L: phased in, but still a bit uncertain. Frosty* (10:27 pm): D: she heads in, looking around Frosty (10:27 pm): F: Numl, can you go greet Mom? I want to say just one more thing to Sasha. nod Bauks (10:28 pm): N: nods and hurries out... his knife is stuck to his back like a magnet, now, fairly out of the way Bauks (10:28 pm): N: waves at Dawn Frosty (10:28 pm): D: Hi, Numl. Frosty (10:28 pm): D: smile Bauks (10:31 pm): N: Are we going in that car? Frosty (10:32 pm): D: nod Silver (10:34 pm): heads inside, the shop has a huge selection of different swords, a few ragdolls to test the blade, and even an area for duels near the back Bauks (10:34 pm): N: smiles a little ~Cool~ Frosty (10:36 pm): F: Sasha? Sasha Newberg (10:36 pm): Hm? Frosty (10:38 pm): F: After we get back, I'll help move your stuff to your room, and you can talk to Numl then, if he's in a mood to talk. Alright? shylarah (10:38 pm): L: follows, her eyes immediately assessing the quality of the blades. She knows her way around swords, though she cannot recall ever actually shopping for one Sasha Newberg (10:38 pm): Okay. nods, glancing at Numl Frosty (10:39 pm): F: Thanks. smiles at her, before walking over to Dawn Frosty (10:41 pm): D: Hi, Frosty. hugs Bauks (10:41 pm): N: looks nervous Bauks (10:42 pm): N: ~Don't scare them away...~ Frosty (10:42 pm): F: hugs her, then looks at Numl You okay? Bauks (10:42 pm): N: ~Frosty's the best thing you have~ Yeah, just... scared. Frosty (10:42 pm): F: kneels down, hugging him I trust you. Bauks (10:43 pm): N: ~Trust me, but... I killed someone when I was like that~ Silver (10:44 pm): The quality of the blades varies, mostly middle-of-the-line, but a good eye could spot a few very good swords among them Frosty (10:44 pm): F: You want to go right now? Bauks (10:45 pm): N: hugs back, able to do so with both hands now Sasha Newberg (10:45 pm): headed off Bauks (10:45 pm): N: Yeah... Frosty (10:45 pm): D: unlocks the car with ar emote You can sit in the front, Numl. shylarah (10:46 pm): L: is looking for something of decent length, double-edged, preferably with a crossguard Bauks (10:46 pm): N: does so shylarah (10:46 pm): L: Who owns this place, Silver? Silver (10:47 pm): [Your text lost its color. o.o] shylarah (10:48 pm): ((.....no it didn't. I changed color.)) Frosty (10:48 pm): (it's juuust slightly off default, that isn't default) shylarah (10:48 pm): ((It's now a cream/beige)) Silver (10:48 pm): shrugs No clue. I just happened to pass it one day and made a note of it. Frosty (10:49 pm): D/F: follow, shortly. Frosty sits in the back, of course. They drive off. Sasha Newberg (10:50 pm): is now looking for Contrast! Tergonaut (10:51 pm): (back) Tergonaut (10:51 pm): (gonna relog Bauks (10:51 pm): N: How far away is it? Dio Cheysa (10:52 pm): Cobalt: is looking for Contrast too! Dio Cheysa (10:52 pm): Cobalt: dunno if it's for a different reason or not yet Frosty (10:52 pm): D: Maybe fifteen minutes or so. Unless I break the traffic laws. nod shylarah (10:54 pm): L: There are a few blades here that are very good, though most of them are not bad at all....I am not sure if I will be able to find what I'm looking for. I have...a suspicion, somehow, that the sword I have in my head isn't ....a standard design.... Comanche (10:54 pm): (Sitrep? oo) Bauks (10:54 pm): C: found, since he's so popular, by both of them at the same time, in the lobby, watching TV shylarah (10:55 pm): L: What do they call the ones that are one or both hands....hand-and-a-half? Wait, no -- bastard sword. That -- I think that would be the closest..... Bauks (10:55 pm): C: And we'll say he's a girl, now, but still a black and white recognizable collie Sasha Newberg (10:56 pm): Contrast? approaches, blinking Dio Cheysa (10:56 pm): Cobalt: Contrasts? approaches, blinking Dio Cheysa (10:57 pm): Cobalt: ...oh, it's your "sister" again. Bauks (10:57 pm): C: blink, look at both Cobalt and Sasha Hello, you two... Sasha Newberg (10:58 pm): looks over at Cobalt Dio Cheysa (10:58 pm): Cobalt: looks between Contrast and Sasha Frosty (10:58 pm): D: and, shortly enough, Frosty and Numl and Dawn find themselves outside the city, in the desert, not too far but far enough to be alone. Frosty (10:58 pm): D: No traffic laws yet broken. Bauks (10:58 pm): C: ~Why do I have a bad feeling?~ Silver (11:00 pm): sure enough, they have those too. There are a few different styles of them, and a few high-quality ones. Not many have designs, and the few decorative ones lack blade quality Sasha Newberg (11:01 pm): Oh, you go first. politely, to Cobalt Bauks (11:02 pm): N: gets out of the car, once they're stopped Frosty (11:02 pm): F: gets out after him, as doe sDawn Dio Cheysa (11:03 pm): Cobalt: Oh, uh...thanks. not entirely committed to that thanks, but she takes what she can get Hey, Contrast. Um, I was wondering if I could...hesitates, looks back at Sasha Are you just gonna ask him a question? If so, you should probably go first. Silver (11:03 pm): Silver is meanwhile looking at the blades with designs... mostly because he knows next to nothing about what makes a good sword. Probably because he's only ever used his magic ones shylarah (11:04 pm): L: Hm. I really don't need anything fancy. Just so long a it works...Silver, where /is/ the person who owns this place? Sasha Newberg (11:04 pm): I was hoping I could have a chat. smiles You go first. Frosty (11:05 pm): F: Umm. looks around Do you need anything of us, Numl? Bauks (11:05 pm): N: looking acrossed the desert ... Silver (11:05 pm): no idea about an owner, but there is an employee around Bauks (11:05 pm): N: Can you... Bauks (11:05 pm): N: ... can you look away? shylarah (11:05 pm): L: blinks when she sees which ones he's looking at ..... e.e; Frosty (11:05 pm): F: Yeah. Frosty (11:05 pm): F: does so, looking across the desert. Dawn looks towards the city. shylarah (11:06 pm): L: Pardon me? to the employee Bauks (11:06 pm): N: and while they don't look... Dio Cheysa (11:06 pm): Cobalt: Oh. Um...well, I was kinda hoping for a little more than a chat, myself. Bauks (11:07 pm): C: ~<____>~ Bauks (11:07 pm): N: A black fire envelopes Numl, slowly and quietly... Sasha Newberg (11:07 pm): What were you looking for, if you don't mind my asking? Silver (11:08 pm): Employee: Yes, can I help you? Comanche (11:08 pm): looking for Dio I guess Frosty (11:09 pm): F: sighs, turning and standing by his mother Dio Cheysa (11:09 pm): Cobalt: blushes a little bit Well, it's just something...private. So I can't really do it while you're just standing there. What do you want to chat with him about? Frosty (11:09 pm): F: that is, still facing away from Numl, just in a differnet direction Dio Cheysa (11:09 pm): she's um, in the pool? Naked? Dio Cheysa (11:09 pm): or maybe not naked Dio Cheysa (11:09 pm): who knows with that woman shylarah (11:09 pm): ((...Naked in what sense?)) Comanche (11:09 pm): Walks over to the pool area Dio? Dio Cheysa (11:09 pm): (I'm trying to decide that too) Dio Cheysa (11:10 pm): (XP) Bauks (11:10 pm): T: When the dark embers are finally shed, what stands there is an adult black fox with white secondary fur, black eyes with red pupils - fitting clothes despite his change in size Dio Cheysa (11:10 pm): swimming in the water - dun dun dun dun Bauks (11:10 pm): T: At this point you'd expect him to say something, but he turns around and looks at Frosty and Dawn, and says... nothing shylarah (11:11 pm): L: I am interested in the hand-and-a-half swords, over there. Would it be alright if I touched them, to get a feel for which one would work for me? Comanche (11:11 pm): Dio >> Sasha Newberg (11:11 pm): Oh, I'm sorry...I wanted to talk about something private, too. looks off, slightly Silver (11:11 pm): [Contrast: walks off while Cobalt and Sasha attempt to figure out who should talk first] Frosty (11:11 pm): (XD) Bauks (11:11 pm): T: Not just being broodingly silent, but if they bothered to turn and look at him, his expression looks more like he doesn't know what to say to them Bauks (11:12 pm): C: sinks in his seat a little ~Ah crap.~ Dio Cheysa (11:12 pm): Cobalt: Oh, well...I guess it's good you said I could go first then. turns to Contrast So, can we go somewhere we can talk privately? Dio Cheysa (11:13 pm): Cobalt: ~That lady was talking to him the other day too...~ Bauks (11:13 pm): C: sits forward a little Um... unsure shylarah (11:13 pm): ((nice, Siv.)) Silver (11:13 pm): Em: Sure, just make sure to put them back afterward. Frosty (11:14 pm): F: ...should we turn around? Silver (11:14 pm): Em: You can use the ragdolls over there if you want to test them on a target, as well. Bauks (11:15 pm): T: ... opens his mouth to say something, but the words just don't really come out Frosty (11:16 pm): F: Numl? ...Trifecta? Dio Cheysa (11:16 pm): Cobalt: Oh, c'mon, I'm not gonna bite ya. Bauks (11:16 pm): T: ... slight cough, trying to get their attention Comanche (11:16 pm): Dio! standeing with his arms folded, tapping his foot impatiently shylarah (11:16 pm): L: yes, of course. Thank you. ...No, I do not think I will make use of the dolls, but I appreciate the offer. bows slightly, and makes her way back to where Siv is still browsing Dio Cheysa (11:17 pm): pops up out of the water Sasha Newberg (11:17 pm): Is now not the best time for either of us? started to give them privacy, before seeing Contrast's hesitation Frosty (11:17 pm): F: turns, looking at him Dio Cheysa (11:17 pm): and steps up out of the water - she's in her swimsuit but not using her holodisguise, it seems less and less important to her these days Dio Cheysa (11:18 pm): Cobalt: ~Oh you scheming two-timing little-!~ Dio Cheysa (11:18 pm): Cobalt: ~Just when I've about got him!~ Comanche (11:18 pm): Want to go try and find more faceless meeting spots or try to find That Man? Dio Cheysa (11:19 pm): Cobalt: ~...I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do after I have him, but I wanted him first!~ Bauks (11:19 pm): T: standing there, and for all his menacingness earlier when dealing with Duvesa, he's in a situation where he's not there just to kill someone Bauks (11:19 pm): T: And he looks like he doesn't know what to do Silver (11:19 pm): has meanwhile moved on to examining a sword that's larger than he is. On it is a sign that says "For display only. Seriously." Frosty (11:19 pm): F: Um...hi. Bauks (11:19 pm): T: hesitates ... Frosty (11:20 pm): F: ~What do you say to a demon hiding in a kid you care about, anyway?~ Frosty (11:20 pm): D: looks up at him Bauks (11:20 pm): T: after all, Numl has talked and known people plenty, but Trifecta has only actually done one single thing himself, and that's just utter his own name once Frosty (11:21 pm): F: ~Not just...he is Numl. Hmm.~ Frosty (11:21 pm): F: ...are you alright? Bauks (11:21 pm): T: ... hello. shylarah (11:21 pm): L: ....You know, Silver, the ones you're looking at.....hesitates -- after all, he /does/ own two swords of high quality Frosty (11:26 pm): F: ... Frosty (11:26 pm): D: How are you feeling, N..Trifecta? Silver (11:27 pm): Hm? Oh, I figure I'm looking at all the wrong stuff. I've never actually been shopping for swords before. I've only ever used pre-selected blades and these. Bauks (11:27 pm): T: shifts, looking away - it's really obvious he doesn't know what to say Bauks (11:27 pm): C: Well, um... Bauks (11:28 pm): C: ... stands up, fishing in his pocket for a coin Bauks (11:28 pm): C: Heads, I'll talk to Cobalt, tails, I'll talk to Sasha. Bauks (11:28 pm): C: Sound fair to you two? Frosty (11:28 pm): (...I really pity Connie right now) shylarah (11:28 pm): ((/flip coin)) shylarah (11:29 pm): ((....heeheehee.)) Comanche (11:29 pm): (Pity him? >> I'm jealous >> ) Dio Cheysa (11:29 pm): Cobalt: fumes a little bit ~Can't see how I can get out of this without looking unfair...why doesn't he just pick me? Doesn't he like me?~ Dio Cheysa (11:30 pm): (jealous that he's got at least one girl upset with him because she's thinking things he isn't? :P) Sasha Newberg (11:30 pm): Oh, you don't have to do that... blushes Sasha Newberg (11:30 pm): But if you insist... Comanche (11:30 pm): (Well I've never had to flip a coin to decide which hot date to take >> ) Frosty (11:30 pm): (Take both?) Comanche (11:30 pm): (Because I don't think there are one sided coins) Sasha Newberg (11:31 pm): (I love how this is becoming so complicated when it doesn't need to be, lmao) shylarah (11:31 pm): (....I just told Cally that was terrible. But sandy, you're even worse. Wait, no. You two are equally bad.)) Bauks (11:31 pm): (Of course it has to be!) shylarah (11:31 pm): ((...which one of you had the character get interested in Connie just to make it complicated?)) Bauks (11:32 pm): (Cobalt was there first) Bauks (11:33 pm): (Anyways, I flipped) Bauks (11:33 pm): T: I... Sasha Newberg (11:33 pm): (Not me ) Bauks (11:33 pm): T: ... I have never talked to anyone before. Bauks (11:33 pm): T: uneasy Frosty (11:33 pm): F: ...nods I see. Dio Cheysa (11:33 pm): (technically Sasha got there first XP) Bauks (11:33 pm): C: flips Frosty (11:33 pm): D: It's alright, Trifecta. Dio Cheysa (11:33 pm): (wait wait wait) Dio Cheysa (11:34 pm): (Comanche, what are you talking about?) Bauks (11:34 pm): C: ... Cobalt. nods Dio Cheysa (11:34 pm): (He has two girls to choose from, unless I missed the desc somewhere, they are both reasonably attractive girls) Comanche (11:34 pm): (You missed it Terg :O ) Sasha Newberg (11:34 pm): Well. smiles That's what I preferred to begin with. Dio Cheysa (11:34 pm): Cobalt: ~Yay!~ tries to be visibly restrained, although it's hard not to send a triumphant smirk across to Sasha Dio Cheysa (11:35 pm): Cobalt: ~...oh yeah sure, take what small victory you can. Grr.~ Frosty (11:35 pm): (...I love how nobody else seems to have noticed that Sasha's just being friendly, or at least if she isn't cindy hasn't bothered to correct me yet) Dio Cheysa (11:35 pm): (I saw the coin thing) Dio Cheysa (11:35 pm): (and lol, yes) Sasha Newberg (11:35 pm): (Indeed she is) Dio Cheysa (11:35 pm): (ohh, you mean, Trans, that you already knew ahead of time that Sasha was just being friendly, while Cobalt was looking for a little more?) Bauks (11:35 pm): C: I'll come find you later on today, right? Frosty (11:36 pm): (Sasha: Hot date? T_T I met him the day before yesterday.) Comanche (11:36 pm): (I meant the joke :O ) Sasha Newberg (11:36 pm): nods Dio Cheysa (11:36 pm): (but one side would make it sound like there was only one hot date out of the two girls to take) Dio Cheysa (11:36 pm): (unless it was what Frosty said, that is, both) Frosty (11:37 pm): F: hesitates When I said to Numl what I did...it wasn't just to make Numl feel better. You, too...how are you? Dio Cheysa (11:37 pm): (which usually doesn't work iRL because girls don't share like that) Frosty (11:37 pm): (Terg's never had a threesome before.) Frosty (11:37 pm): (Granted, neither have any of us) Bauks (11:37 pm): C: Where do you wanna go? Outside? to Cobalt Dio Cheysa (11:37 pm): (^~) Frosty (11:38 pm): (I take it back, Shy had three pancakes once morning. She was hungry.) Dio Cheysa (11:38 pm): (but srsly, RL =/= most boy's fantasies) Dio Cheysa (11:38 pm): (:P) shylarah (11:38 pm): ((....he heard me yell and ran!)) Frosty (11:38 pm): (Not me. T_T Women are complicated enough when they're alone, I don't see why I'd want them collaborating.) shylarah (11:39 pm): ((...you could always have two guys and one girl, y'know. They do it in Bedlam's Bad)) Comanche (11:39 pm): (Yeah, she yelled so loud it made my ears bleed >> ) Frosty (11:39 pm): (RP) shylarah (11:40 pm): ((Bard. and neither pun intended)) Dio Cheysa (11:40 pm): Cobalt: Well, maybe a walk would be nice. Dio Cheysa (11:40 pm): Cobalt: ~Don't know what I'm doing, but I know what I want!~ Bauks** (11:41 pm): T: thinks I'm okay... bad liar. has never done it before Frosty (11:41 pm): E: admiring Sasha's dress, but unwilling to approach. she's had enough of being around people for her nerves right now... Bauks (11:41 pm): T: ... this is so... strange... Bauks (11:42 pm): C: heads outside, then So, what is it... Bauks (11:42 pm): C: still a girl Sasha Newberg (11:42 pm): You two have fun. waves at them, starting to head off shylarah (11:42 pm): L: .....yeah, you are. Here, when it comes to blades, you don't need to worry about the detailwork. What you look for ((Sandy, were you there for the "take a fruit on a date" contest Oracle held on KoL...?)) she reaches for a simply-forged blade, with no frills Frosty (11:42 pm): F: ...approach Frosty (11:42 pm): (...you're joking) Sasha Newberg (11:42 pm): glances at Eve Frosty (11:42 pm): E: looks away, way too quickly to be natural >< Sasha Newberg (11:43 pm): blinks walks over toward her shylarah (11:43 pm): ((...no, I'm not. Ask her. I won.)) Frosty (11:43 pm): (is totally hitting the forum tonight then) shylarah (11:44 pm): (((heeheehee. I still have the text of the entry somewhere)) Dio Cheysa (11:44 pm): (nearly misread that as "Frosty: is totally hitting on the forum tonight then") Dio Cheysa* (11:44 pm): Cobalt: Oh, I just wanted to...talk with you, y'know. Spend a little more time with you. Bauks (11:45 pm): C: Me too. Silver (11:45 pm): laughs a little Don't worry about me, I don't think I'll need a blade any time soon. The point is, you know your way around a sword, which is what's important right now. Frosty (11:45 pm): E: Um...hi... Dio Cheysa (11:46 pm): Cobalt: that catches her off-guard R, really? Frosty (11:46 pm): F: We're here for you, too. Comanche (11:46 pm): (Poke Dio) Bauks (11:46 pm): T: looks at Frosty, unsure ... Bauks (11:47 pm): T: You're... Bauks (11:47 pm): T: blinks shylarah (11:47 pm): L: Anyone who is going to use a sword should know at least how to tell the level of craftsmanship.... Sasha Newberg (11:48 pm): Hi, there...are you alright, ma'am? Frosty (11:48 pm): E: Yeah...just a little, um, nervous. I like your dress... Frosty (11:48 pm): E: by comparison, is just short of wearing rags Sasha Newberg (11:49 pm): Oh...well, thank you. smiles Dio Cheysa (11:49 pm): ...what, and walk right into another trap? Bauks (11:49 pm): C: Yeah... Bauks (11:49 pm): C: I like you. Comanche (11:49 pm): Then what do you suggest we do? Dio Cheysa (11:49 pm): Cobalt: ...can you read minds or something, too? Bauks (11:50 pm): C: blinks Nope. Dio Cheysa (11:50 pm): That Man... Bauks (11:50 pm): T: ... you're... the same. Dio Cheysa (11:50 pm): He's the one who brought them to my world. He brought them here. Frosty (11:51 pm): F: The same? Frosty (11:51 pm): D: To you, you mean? Bauks (11:51 pm): T: As... me. Frosty (11:51 pm): D: ...? Frosty (11:51 pm): F: ...? Dio Cheysa (11:51 pm): Cobalt: Oh...'cause, I, eh, kinda like you too. trying to be casual about it So...wanna go somewhere to eat? Bauks (11:51 pm): T: No, he... the same blood. Bauks (11:51 pm): T: He has the same blood... Sasha Newberg (11:51 pm): Why are you nervous? sits beside Eve Frosty (11:51 pm): F: ...what do you mean? Silver (11:52 pm): YOu have a point. Care to help me out, then? Frosty (11:52 pm): E: I'm...not used to being around people, th-that's all. Frosty (11:52 pm): E: horrible liar Bauks (11:52 pm): T: ... "Demonic". I... Bauks (11:52 pm): T: Like me. Sasha Newberg (11:52 pm): tilts her head ...are you sure that's what it is? Sasha Newberg (11:52 pm): You don't have to tell me, if it's personal... Frosty (11:52 pm): D: ...what do you mean? Frosty (11:53 pm): E: Sorry...looks down, then at her shylarah (11:53 pm): L: focuses on the sword so she doesn't drop it Hm...the blade is good, but...I think the balance isn't quite where I need it....turns it around to offer the hilt to Silver Bauks (11:54 pm): T: frowns I can sense it... Frosty (11:54 pm): F: I... Bauks (11:54 pm): T: He... was adopted. So his real parents must have been... Frosty (11:54 pm): F: ...you're right. tilts his head I don't knwoh ow I know, but...he's right, Mom. Sasha Newberg (11:55 pm): You don't need to apologize. blinks Frosty (11:55 pm): D: blinks Are you sure, Frosty? Frosty (11:55 pm): F: looks...hurt ...yeah. Frosty (11:55 pm): E: Umm. Bauks (11:55 pm): T: Maybe that's why, your power... Comanche (11:55 pm): How should we try and locat ehim then? Frosty (11:55 pm): E: Where did you get it? meaning her dress Bauks (11:55 pm): C: Sure. Bauks (11:55 pm): C: On the condition that I buy everything. Dio Cheysa (11:56 pm): Cobalt: blinks a bit in surprise ~I'm getting paid for...and didn't have to hint for it?~ Deal. Bauks (11:57 pm): C: So... I didn't get around to telling you I can shapeshift others, did I? Frosty (11:57 pm): F: looks at Trifecta ... Frosty (11:57 pm): F: You're right. Bauks (11:58 pm): T: ~Can he sense me too?~ Sasha Newberg (11:58 pm): At a nice store downtown. Dio Cheysa (11:58 pm): Cobalt: her eyes nearly pop out of her head What? waggles her ears Did I hear that right? Sasha Newberg (11:58 pm): ~I wish I didn't have to talk about these in front of her, she doesn't seem...~ Bauks (11:58 pm): C: Yeah. Frosty (11:58 pm): E: Oh...~and even this I had to steal.~ looks down again Dio Cheysa (12:00 am): Cobalt: So, you mean, you could transform someone else into something else? Do you have to be touching them or anything? hasn't asked Contrast to change back into a he yet Dio Cheysa (12:00 am): (oops oo) Dio Cheysa (12:00 am): (keep forgetting Dio) shylarah (12:00 am): L: Alright, then. starts explaining the basics of what to look for in a sword -- since I don't know the specifics --, about how the blade should look, and catch the light, and how it should sound, etc Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): He's up to something. Comanche (12:01 am): (Sure, remember me after I die =\ ) Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): He wants to know everything. Frosty (12:01 am): (XD) Frosty (12:01 am): (It is better to be forgotten in life than remembered in death.) Bauks (12:01 am): C: I, well... have to have a sample of DNA in me. Dio Cheysa (12:01 am): But that means the Faceless steal that knowledge from everyone they take. Bauks (12:01 am): T: ... Comanche (12:01 am): (brb) Bauks (12:01 am): T: Are you okay? to Frosty It's... Sasha Newberg (12:02 am): frowns ...what's your name? Dio Cheysa (12:02 am): Cobalt: A sample of...you mean, if you had some hair, or blood, or something? Sasha Newberg (12:02 am): I'm Sasha. Frosty (12:02 am): D: ~I remember his mother. SHe was nice.~ Bauks (12:02 am): C: Usually I just drink after someone. Frosty (12:02 am): E: Eve. shylarah (12:02 am): ((....agree, Frosty. Fame is temporary. obscurity is forever)) shylarah (12:02 am): ((agreed)) Frosty (12:02 am): (Actually, wouldn't that logic make the inverse true) shylarah (12:03 am): ((....no, it just means that fame doesn't last)) Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): (um) Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): (I'd rather be remembered in life AND in death XP) Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): (though hopefully I won't die ever) Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): ('cause I'll be a cyborg, yo) shylarah (12:03 am): ((....I'd rather make a difference than be remembered.)) Silver (12:04 am): [Great minds, Terg.] shylarah (12:04 am): ((....AMSM!!)) Frosty (12:04 am): (You want to stay on this miserable planet LONGER? c_c) Frosty (12:04 am): (Please, kill me now) Dio Cheysa (12:04 am): (AMSM? oO) Sasha Newberg (12:04 am): (Totally) Sasha Newberg (12:04 am): (Terg, let's get the same cyborg model) shylarah (12:04 am): ((And Make the Same Mistakes.)) shylarah (12:04 am): ((...ew!)) Silver (12:04 am): [Dude. Cyborg. Who needs air?] Dio Cheysa (12:05 am): (we could totally conquer the planet) shylarah** (12:05 am): ((...pokes Siv in the "your turn")) Dio Cheysa (12:05 am): (and then move on to the rest of the solar system) shylarah (12:05 am): ((....I'd have to fight you.....)) Dio Cheysa (12:05 am): (or maybe even go back to IC) Frosty (12:05 am): (Well, world domination is always fun. We can level France, right?) shylarah (12:05 am): ((glomp)) Ari/Arik (12:05 am): (hello^^ ) Silver (12:05 am): listening intently, asking questings every now and then Sasha Newberg (12:05 am): (D:) Ari/Arik (12:05 am): (glomped!^^ ) Sasha Newberg (12:06 am): (D: ) Frosty* (12:06 am): E: Where are you from? Sasha Newberg (12:06 am): (That's bad!) Sasha Newberg (12:06 am): I'm from this city. Yourself? Frosty (12:06 am): E: nods Me too... Dio Cheysa (12:06 am): (yowdy Ari) Frosty (12:06 am): F: ..>Yeah. Frosty (12:07 am): F: Just...didn't expect it. Bauks (12:07 am): T: ~I want to hug him... but...~ Comanche (12:07 am): (Shy: yawn* Me: yawn) Comanche (12:07 am): So try to bait him into a trap or something? Frosty (12:08 am): D: puts an arm around Frosty's shoulders, looking up at Trifecta Dio Cheysa (12:08 am): Cobalt: So, it's that easy?...could you only change part of a person? shylarah (12:08 am): L: answers, gladly, and looks over the other swords as she does, until she finds another that seems worth trying Here, this one picks it up Can you see the similarities between them, and how they're different from most of the others? Bauks (12:09 am): C: Yeah. nods Sasha Newberg (12:09 am): smiles Well. Bauks (12:09 am): N: is a little tall, actually, six feet and a few inches... Bauks (12:09 am): T* Sasha Newberg (12:09 am): Eve, if you ever feel like you need to talk, you can consider me as someone to go to. Bauks (12:09 am): C: Would you want to try? Frosty (12:09 am): E: ...thank you. Frosty (12:09 am): E: smiles, faintly Frosty (12:10 am): E: I don't know most of the people here really well.. Sasha Newberg (12:11 am): I don't know many here well, either. I've only been here a few days. Frosty (12:12 am): E: I've been here about a month...I moved here 'cause they didn't charge me for the room. Dio Cheysa (12:12 am): Cobalt: Would I? rhetorically asking it, though she suddenly turns shy I mean, if it isn't...any trouble. Sasha Newberg (12:14 am): I see...it's quite a nice deal, especially for a place in the city like this. Silver (12:14 am): picks it up, tests it some ...Yeah, a little. Silver (12:14 am): A lot different from mine, too, though. Frosty (12:14 am): E: Yeah. seems to perk up a little Frosty (12:15 am): F: ...thanks, Trifecta. Frosty (12:15 am): F: I guess knowledge...isn't really a bad thing. Bauks (12:16 am): T: earperk I... Bauks (12:16 am): T: ~I've not been out for half and hour and I told him things that hurt him~ Bauks (12:16 am): T: Don't say that... Sasha Newberg (12:16 am): Do you like swimming, Eve? Frosty (12:16 am): E: Frosty and Contrast and Faust and Numl taught me how to swim, a little, but I haven't done it since then... Frosty (12:17 am): F: shake head Really. shylarah (12:17 am): L: took the first one back and set it down, then turns to face Silver again Well, that's to be expected -- they /are/ magic, right...? Bauks (12:17 am): T: frowns Sasha Newberg (12:17 am): Ah. Well, I was going to ask if you'd like to join me, soon. Bauks (12:17 am): T: It... isn't so bad, right...? Bauks (12:18 am): C: Well. Do you like pizza? Frosty (12:18 am): F: I'm still...me. nods Frosty (12:18 am): E: I don't own a swimsuit. Sasha Newberg (12:19 am): Ah...did you borrow one at that time, then? Frosty (12:19 am): E: nod Bauks (12:20 am): T: relaxes a little ... Bauks (12:20 am): T: This is so strange. Dio Cheysa (12:21 am): Cobalt: Sounds good to me!...wait, you aren't going to change me into pizza, are you? Comanche (12:21 am): (poke Dio with a spear) Comanche (12:22 am): (or better yet a compressed air tank and a dart gun) Dio Cheysa (12:22 am): (pfft XP) Frosty (12:22 am): F: ~You're telling me.~ Yeah... Dio Cheysa (12:22 am): (might as well come out and say it @@ I don't really have any idea what to do with Dio) Comanche (12:22 am): (Hmm) Bauks (12:22 am): T: I don't know how to act. Silver (12:22 am): Yeah, I guess that would explain it. Heh. Bauks (12:22 am): C: Hah, couldn't if I wanted to,. Sasha Newberg (12:23 am): Ah well...hmm. Bauks (12:23 am): C: heads into pizza store, ordering a medium pizza for the two of them to share as they head to a booth Frosty (12:23 am): E: Sorry. Bauks (12:23 am): C: They're given drinks Sasha Newberg (12:23 am): It's okay. smiles Bauks (12:24 am): C: doesn't touch his, though Go ahead and have a sip of that drink. Dio Cheysa (12:24 am): Cobalt: Okay...starts to lift her drink, then smiles a bit So wait a sec, this is a little like swapping spit, isn't it? Bauks (12:25 am): C: It is. Bauks (12:25 am): C: I could technically get what I need from a kiss... Frosty (12:26 am): F: Act...natural. Do you want to do anything? Dio Cheysa (12:26 am): Cobalt: smirks, then slips a hand behind Contrast's neck, and she dives in for a smooch ~I'm feeling a little feisty~ Bauks (12:27 am): C: kissed - he's quite surprised Bauks (12:27 am): C: but he returns the gesture... Bauks (12:28 am): T: ... I don't know what I want to do. Frosty (12:28 am): E: looks down, at her dress again Bauks (12:28 am): T: I've never done anything before now except... Frosty (12:28 am): F: Yeah. shylarah (12:28 am): L: finds another one, solidly crafted, but frowns as soon as she moves it a little, and puts a her free hand to her ear Ugh. This one -- its sound is way off. It is well made, but...it would be hard to use in a fight. Hard to wield. Dio Cheysa (12:28 am): Cobalt: and pulls back, fluttering her eyelashes a bit So...that work for you? Dio Cheysa (12:28 am): (...as I think about it XD; Contrast is still a girl, right?) shylarah (12:28 am): L: sets it back down Bauks (12:28 am): (Yes. Yes she is.) shylarah (12:29 am): ((....yeah, that's what I was just asking)) Frosty (12:29 am): (DId you REALLY have to point htat out Terg) Sasha Newberg (12:29 am): (That's hot) shylarah (12:29 am): ((of Cally, true....but still.)) Dio Cheysa (12:29 am): (yes) Dio Cheysa (12:29 am): (yes I totally had to) shylarah (12:29 am): ((......males. ><; )) Dio Cheysa (12:29 am): (hey, this is character development!) shylarah (12:29 am): ((slaps the lot of you)) shylarah (12:29 am): ((Hmph!)) Bauks (12:29 am): C: I would've expected. you to at least want me to be a guy first. Frosty (12:29 am): (<3) Bauks (12:29 am): (o.o @ random .) Dio Cheysa (12:30 am): Cobalt: Oh...well, it'd have spoiled the surprise if I said, "Hey, can you be a guy again so I can snog you?" Bauks (12:30 am): C: Heh... Bauks (12:31 am): C: swallows, trying to assimilate Cobalt's genetic material and make use of it Sasha Newberg (12:31 am): Hmm. Shall we do anything else instead, then? Bauks (12:32 am): T: Let's... Bauks (12:32 am): T: Am I making you uncomfortable? Frosty (12:32 am): D: No, you're not. shylarah (12:32 am): L: finds another, and this time smiles slightly Hm....this feels about right.... Dio Cheysa (12:33 am): and Contrast...fails to acquire genetic material Bauks (12:33 am): C: blinks ... Bauks (12:33 am): C: That... didn't work. shylarah (12:34 am): ((....OH! I knew it had to......Z0mg! either that, or you're doing what I thought you might do -- make him kiss her again.)) Dio Cheysa (12:34 am): (...pfffft XD) Comanche (12:34 am): (FACELESS STAB ) Dio Cheysa (12:34 am): (do you really think I'd do something like that just to see them kissing again? :P) Dio Cheysa (12:34 am): (and the Faceless are living beings, and by definition they have DNA) Dio Cheysa (12:35 am): (just that they've lost the unique identifying stuff) shylarah (12:35 am): (....ACtually, I was thinking that Contrast might have been so surprised that /he/ didn't get the material.)) Dio Cheysa (12:35 am): Cobalt: blinks back What, didn't get enough? shylarah (12:35 am): ((....does that mean if contrast....ah....acquires Faceless DNA, he can shift the lot of them?! o.o;; )) Bauks (12:36 am): C: Now, I, that was way more than enough, it just didn't... work. Bauks (12:36 am): C: There's nothing. It's like water. looks at Cobalt, oddly Silver (12:36 am): [Contrast: makes out with a faceless] Dio Cheysa (12:36 am): Cobalt: Huh? Uhh... Frosty (12:36 am): (That might not end well.) Frosty (12:37 am): F: You're still you. It...does take getting used to, but we don't...yeah. Dio Cheysa (12:37 am): Cobalt: M-maybe we can try the drink thing, then...that's worked before, right? I mean, have you...kissed anyone before, to get their DNA? Bauks (12:37 am): C: Try it. Bauks (12:37 am): C: ~Weird~ Bauks (12:37 am): C: ~Why didn't it work?~ Bauks (12:37 am): T: ...I... Bauks (12:38 am): T: ... do you think I can ever fit in like this as well as like Numl. shylarah (12:38 am): L: The balance is right, and it's centered in the proper place for someone of my height.....steps over to the open area Dio Cheysa (12:38 am): Cobalt: takes a good, heart drink, then lays the rest on the counter in front of Cobalt ~This is weird...he seemed so confident about it before, why isn't it working?~ Bauks (12:39 am): C: takes her drink, taking a sip and trying again Dio Cheysa (12:39 am): Cobalt: ~He certainly got a good taste...I wonder what mouthwash he uses? It tastes nice.~ Dio Cheysa (12:39 am): CobaltDNA: lolphail, or rather, it isn't there again Frosty (12:39 am): (@$!% fembots!) Bauks (12:39 am): C: frowns Bauks (12:39 am): C: Still nothing... Frosty (12:40 am): F: ...I don't know. I think...us, and Faust, and Connie, and Lani, and everyone...we can accept you, like this. Comanche (12:41 am): (made Shy flail) shylarah (12:41 am): ((....multiple times.)) Dio Cheysa (12:41 am): Cobalt: starting to get a little worried now What is it? My DNA...isn't incompatible? shylarah (12:41 am): ((....ohgods. that sounds wrong...)) Bauks (12:41 am): C: It's not incompatible. Bauks (12:41 am): C: There isn't any. Frosty (12:41 am): (You two keep your pancake making epxloits to yourself please T_T) Bauks (12:42 am): C: No protein, no DNA, nothing. Comanche (12:42 am): (XD I just made a pancakes joke too) shylarah (12:42 am): ((.....he JUST mentioned that.))

Frosty (1:27 am): F: looks forward again We could go for...looks at Dawn Frosty (1:28 am): D: Once you get used to hospital food lunches, you can eat anywhere. Do you have any mind for anything in particular, n-Trifecta? Dio Cheysa (1:28 am): Cobalt: Well, of course, that'd only be fair... Dio Cheysa (1:28 am): Cobalt: her ears cross a little bit as she thinks of what she could do - why is she giggling? Frosty (1:28 am): F: ~Maybe Mom's right. Don't go out of the way treating him different from everyone else, he...wants to be accepted. Doesn't he?~ Frosty (1:29 am): (GAH) Frosty (1:29 am): (I can't hear this song and not think of Forest now) Frosty (1:30 am): (I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gooone~) Bauks (1:33 am): C: smirks, getting a little pizza ~There - give her somethign else to think about.~ Bauks (1:34 am): T: I... Dio Cheysa (1:34 am): Cobalt: Well...we should probably wait until we aren't right here in the middle of a crowded pizza parlor...but I've got some ideas. ^^; Bauks (1:35 am): T: I can't really say what I would like. Bauks (1:35 am): C: Heh. Bauks (1:35 am): C: Let's just enjoy the food for now, then. Frosty (1:36 am): F: Steak? Dio Cheysa (1:36 am): Cobalt: Yeah...om nom nom pizza Bauks (1:36 am): T: nods Bauks (1:37 am): C: ~There...~ Bauks (1:37 am): C: ~She'll be alright.~ Bauks (1:37 am): C: ~But really, what is she?~ Frosty (1:38 am): So, they head to a steakhouse! Dio Cheysa (1:39 am): Cobalt: dun dun dun dun! Dio Cheysa (1:39 am): Cobalt: Hey, I'm gonna eat this whole pizza by myself if you don't start digging in! Bauks (1:41 am): T: and Trifecta... has no clue what to order, even after looking at the menu Bauks (1:41 am): T: Frosty, could you... Frosty (1:41 am): F: ...sure. Frosty (1:42 am): F: tlels Trifecta how to order a steak! Bauks (1:42 am): C: Heh. I'm not the hungriest guy ever. Bauks (1:42 am): T: orders it like Frosty describes Frosty (1:44 am): Trifecta's order is taken! As is Frosty's, and Dawn orders just a salad. Dio Cheysa (1:45 am): Cobalt: has a healthy appetite for someone with no DNA Bauks (1:46 am): T: looking down at the table, he adjusts his tails slightly - apparently, Numl as an adult keeps his tails at about the same propotion, because they are still about the same size as him, each, sort of overflowing his booth Frosty (1:47 am): (Hmm) Bauks (1:50 am): C: notices this Bauks (1:50 am): C: I tend to sort of... optimize my digestive system a little. Frosty (1:51 am): (Should we FF at all, Box) Bauks (1:52 am): (Perhaps!) Frosty (1:52 am): E: has probably been on a long walk with Sasha! Frosty (1:52 am): E: and probably returning now Dio Cheysa (1:52 am): Cobalt: Oh, I guess that makes sense! (actually, 10 minutes left here...) Dio Cheysa (1:52 am): (maybe some FF wouldn't hurt here either if wanted) Bauks (1:53 am): C: later, when they are once again outside So... what did you want from me? Bauks (1:53 am): T: where to FF to? Frosty (1:53 am): (maybe having spent a few hours eating and then going through the city somewhat?) Dio Cheysa (1:53 am): Cobalt: Well...now suddenly a bit shy about it Well, I...I'd like it if you were a guy again. And...could you turn into a bunny for me? Bauks (1:54 am): C: Want me to be one of your own, huh? does so, becoming male once again, and then changing species Bauks (1:57 am): T: very well! Bauks (1:58 am): T: They're passing through a park, now... Tri's spirits seem lifted Frosty (1:58 am): F: How're you doing, now? Frosty (1:58 am): D: looking at a giant Trifecta tail Bauks (1:58 am): T: ... I'm happy. Frosty (1:59 am): F: ...smiles Dio Cheysa (1:59 am): Cobalt: giggles, delighted Now!...gimme some big muscles. Buff bunny! Bauks (2:00 am): C: Heh. Alright... his arms and legs get thicker, his chest broadens Bauks (2:01 am): T: I have friends. Bauks (2:01 am): T: I'm... not just a killer like I thought either. Frosty (2:01 am): D: You're not. Dio Cheysa (2:02 am): Cobalt: feels his arm Wow! ^^ Are you really stronger, too? Bauks (2:03 am): C: Of course I am. I'm stronger than most anyways... shylarah (2:03 am): ((ah, you did reply. yayz)) Bauks (2:03 am): C: If she had poked any of his muscles before, even when he had no outward appearance of strength, she'd have found them just as solid as they are now Bauks (2:03 am): T: And yet I... shylarah (2:04 am): L: Thank you. quietly I am in your debt. Dio Cheysa (2:06 am): Cobalt: might be poking Connie more in the future! Frosty (2:06 am): E: ...thanks, Sasha. Dio Cheysa (2:06 am): Cobalt: Pick me up, and let's head back. ^^ Bauks (2:06 am): C: Alright, alright... does so shylarah (2:07 am): ((.....and he's away from the compy. >.> )) Sasha Newberg (2:07 am): It's no problem. smiles shylarah (2:07 am): ((and now he's back. yayz.)) Frosty (2:08 am): E: Umm...looks around Bauks (2:08 am): C: he expects to be quite heavy, though Dio Cheysa (2:08 am): (and now I gotta go XD; ) Dio Cheysa (2:09 am): Cobalt: she does weigh a bit more than she looks, but it isn't massively significant - maybe slight difference in overall inertia and momentum, but she's carryable Silver (2:09 am): No need to feel indebted, I'm just happy to help. Dio Cheysa (2:10 am): (headed out of here now, night all!) Ari/Arik (2:10 am): (rest well, and 'nite@Terg ) shylarah (2:10 am): ((night!)) shylarah (2:12 am): L: yes, well...looks away Maybe now I can actually do some damage....instead of just illusions....sounds slightly bitter Frosty (2:13 am): (poke Tri) Bauks (2:14 am): T: ... I... how okay is it to be like this instead of just being Numl? Frosty (2:15 am): F: I'm...not going to mind. But you should go back to Numl, just until you talk to everyone about it... Bauks (2:16 am): T: nods, bows his head, and shuts his eyes Bauks (2:17 am): (I'm exhausted) shylarah (2:18 am): ((...man, right when I zone back in....)) Silver (2:18 am): Hey, illusions are useful too. After all, it's better to be able to avoid a battle than win one, after all. Silver (2:18 am): [...erase one of those "after all"s >>;;] Bauks (2:22 am): (Going to bed, goodnight) shylarah (2:22 am): L: ...if it was just me, I would not need to fight. on the way out of the store and back to the hotel But....I cannot just watch while you and the others are in danger. I'm sick of feeling helpless, like there's nothing I can do! shylarah (2:22 am): ((good night)) Ari/Arik (2:23 am): (is heading off as well o.o...rest well, and 'nite everyone^^ ) Frosty (2:26 am): (because he didn't think it worth noting, Cinder's out too) Frosty (2:30 am): (and apparently so are you two o.o) shylarah (3:19 am): ((o.o )) shylarah (3:20 am): ((well, I'mm out... shylarah (3:20 am): (('night.)) ~Hope, like Love, never dies.

Dio Cheysa (9:25 pm): (that was me) Dio Cheysa (9:25 pm): (alllll me) shylarah (9:26 pm): ((this time it was okay, though.)) shylarah (9:26 pm): ((....I know.)) Frosty (9:26 pm): (...shy, don't do that again.) Ash Fox (9:26 pm): (That Man: This is DELICIOUS!) Dio Cheysa (9:26 pm): That Man: Bother, lot of talking in my head these days. Sasha N. (9:26 pm): Aah! jumps a little, startled looks at Comanche Frosty (9:26 pm): E: Ah! >< Frosty (9:27 pm): E: jumps up, moving away from Comanche and TM Dio Cheysa (9:27 pm): Cobalt: What're you all-WHAT THE HECK?! stands up, nearly knocking her food over shylarah (9:27 pm): ((....even he's in his head. O.o;;; )) Dio Cheysa (9:27 pm): and she's up on her feet, charging at That Man with her beam halberd drawn and glowing HIYAAAAAA! Silver (9:27 pm): ~Wait, Thatman? The guy who's controlling the...~ stands, though not as quickly as some others shylarah (9:27 pm): B: startled into tipping her chair over, and she goes with it Comanche (9:27 pm): also fires at ThatMan Dio Cheysa (9:27 pm): (That Man: I'm in everyone's head! It's only fair since everyone else is in MY head.) shylarah (9:28 pm): Sk: helps Bits up shylarah (9:28 pm): Ro: somehow manages to NOT be there anymore! Dio Cheysa (9:28 pm): That Man: Oh dear, that will not do at all. You just ruined my pancakes with your honking great gun and spear combo. Sasha N. (9:28 pm): backs away, crouching down in a corner >< Dio Cheysa (9:28 pm): it's true - the one moment he's there, the next he isn't, and his plate gets smashed up with pancakes flying everywhere Frosty (9:28 pm): (That's funny, I find my pancakes are enhanced with a proper gun. ^_^) Dio Cheysa (9:29 pm): Where are you?! Dio Cheysa (9:29 pm): Show yourself! Dio Cheysa (9:29 pm): (That Man: Oh, didn't know you were into guns like that!) Dio Cheysa (9:29 pm): (That Man: You can have Comanche's gun, I don't like it myself.) shylarah (9:29 pm): ((....ouch.)) Comanche (9:29 pm): (....) Frosty (9:29 pm): (What can I say? I practice food safety when I'm cooking pancakes.) shylarah (9:30 pm): Bits: starts pulling water from the faucet behind the bar Frosty (9:30 pm): E: ends up coweirng behind...Sasha Dio Cheysa (9:30 pm): That Man: reappears back IC, leaning against a nearby wall Now calm down, I say! I'm merely observing, and while I'm observing, I am utterly and completely...mostly harmless. shylarah (9:30 pm): Sk: also powered up -- the siblings have figured out that something is up Dio Cheysa (9:30 pm): That Man: and now he's smoking Dio Cheysa (9:30 pm): Bartender: No smoking in the cafe! Dio Cheysa (9:31 pm): That Man: Oh! Sorry. Comanche (9:31 pm): But you're still wanted! aiming at him shylarah (9:31 pm): B: ....glare tiny water lash extinguishes cigarette Dio Cheysa (9:31 pm): That Man: makes the cigarette into a lollipop instead That better? Frosty (9:31 pm): (The "smoke and a pancake" joke from Goldmember will never hit me the same way again.) Dio Cheysa (9:31 pm): That Man: Wanted for what? Being too handsome? shylarah (9:32 pm): Sk: No, for -- wait, what is he wanted for, exactly? other than being a nuisance? Bauks (9:32 pm): N: Do you think... Bauks (9:32 pm): N: Looking back, did you ever feel, well... drawn to me at all? Bauks (9:32 pm): N: Other than just wanting to help? Comanche (9:32 pm): Hed created the headless! Comanche (9:32 pm): (ThatMAn: Kojak) Frosty (9:32 pm): F: ...looks at him ...maybe. Dio Cheysa (9:32 pm): That Man: No no no! Dio Cheysa (9:32 pm): That Man: I didn't create them! Dio Cheysa (9:33 pm): That Man: I told you, I'm the one who brought them to this world! And to the last several worlds. Sasha N. (9:33 pm): looks at Eve for a second, shivering ~What's going on...~ Dio Cheysa (9:33 pm): That Man: Far too interesting a specimen to be left on a dinky planet with brain-sucking floating organisms, where they couldn't reach their full potential, after all. Comanche (9:33 pm): Oh, that's right I'm sorry, because you know, that's so much better. shylarah (9:33 pm): SK: ....You..../you/ -- suddenly surrounded by an electric aura You're the creep that had my sister scared half to tdeath, that one day?! his eyes have gone electric, too shylarah (9:34 pm): Bits: ....!!! looks worried Ash Fox (9:34 pm): (zomg Metroids @ brain-sucking organisms) shylarah (9:34 pm): Bits: tries to get a hold of Sparks Silver (9:34 pm): Hand on a sword hilt, but not drawn. Gathers a bit of magic energy in his free hand, for whatever Dio Cheysa (9:35 pm): That Man: What? Oh now, come on! I'm not really that scary am I? Besides...it's the Faceless you should be afraid of. Even that girl there should be afraid of them. points at Cobalt Silver (9:35 pm): [Metroid Fusion 2: Faceless?] Frosty (9:35 pm): F: I guess it explains... Frosty (9:35 pm): F: ... Dio Cheysa (9:36 pm): Cobalt: Huh? What does that even mean? shylarah (9:36 pm): L: is woken up by the magical ruckus ....ugh, what /now/?! glances at the sword, safely out of reach up in the tree's branches ...still can't phase it. Whichever. I want to go back to sleep, curse it. Doing that is /draining/! heads for the cafe shylarah (9:36 pm): L: Bbut not in a hurry Dio Cheysa (9:36 pm): That Man: It's quite clear that they hate your guts, my dear - nothing personal, you just don't have what they are looking for! As for the rest of you, well, I'm afraid you're rather tasty to a Faceless. Comanche (9:37 pm): Wait, what do you mean she doesn't have what they are looking for? Ash Fox (9:37 pm): Viv: Meanwhile, away from all this where she's having breakfast, her phone on the table buzzes. She picks it up and flips it open and then places it to her ear, without even glancing round from her netbook shylarah (9:37 pm): Sk: You tried to hurt my sister. Twisted, depraved, VILE git! starts gathering a charge in one hand shylarah (9:39 pm): Bits: glances at Tha Man, Sparks, That Man, and then dashes forward and grabs the arm her brother is using to gather charge. The charge sorta...peters out, when she wraps her arms around his Dio Cheysa (9:39 pm): That Man: Ah ha! So you don't know yet! But I'm sure you will, especially after they get here looking for her! Sasha N. (9:40 pm): ~What does he mean...?~ Bauks (9:40 pm): N: Well... Bauks (9:40 pm): N: You know, this doesn't change anything, right...? Frosty (9:40 pm): F: ...nods shylarah (9:40 pm): L: drifts in through the wall Guys, can you please keep it to a dull roar? I was trying to sleep....looks a bit tired Sasha N. (9:40 pm): leans down, putting her hands to the ground, and tries to sneak out of the cafe, walking on all fours Frosty (9:40 pm): F: I'm still Frosty. I know. You're still you, and I'm still me. Ash Fox (9:40 pm): Viv: Salutations Master. Mmhmm... yes, so it seems.... My research? As well as can be expected. ...thank you sir. Yes, I have gotten a few leads. ...yes, quite so. I'm not sure if it's that widely available. Frosty (9:40 pm): E: suddenly exposed again Ah...! >< Dio Cheysa (9:40 pm): That Man: That is, assuming you can stave off the Faceless when they attack again. Frosty (9:41 pm): E: tries to flee Sasha N. (9:41 pm): looks over her shoulder at Eve, putting a finger to her lips in a shush gesture Comanche (9:41 pm): Still, you have nothign to observe here. Get out of here! fire at ThatMan again Sasha N. (9:41 pm): motions for her to get down Frosty (9:41 pm): E: stops, looks unsure for a second, but shuts up and complies Dio Cheysa (9:41 pm): That Man: Yikes! isn't there anymore, is standing next to Silver at random You'll have to pay for that! shylarah (9:42 pm): Sk: pulls against Bits grip Leggo. I'mma kill that bastard! He tried to hurt you -- he's /dead/! very angry Sasha N. (9:42 pm): nods toward the exit, slinking that way Dio Cheysa (9:42 pm): Rrgh...he's playing games with us! Frosty (9:42 pm): E: follow Frosty (9:42 pm): F: But... ...hugs him shylarah (9:42 pm): ??: not quite sure what to make of all this Bauks (9:42 pm): N: hugs back shylarah (9:43 pm): ??: ...perhaps I should come back at a better time....provides visual cover for the two girls heading for the exit Comanche (9:43 pm): growl Stop playing games and fight! shylarah (9:43 pm): ??: since he's going that way too Silver (9:44 pm): Wha- Slams the magic-charged hand into ThatMan, defensively Dio Cheysa (9:44 pm): That Man: I know all the moves in the game, my friend...you can shoot at me, stab at me, but I'm the only one who would win a fight in the end, so fighting isn't very fun for me, I'm afraid. Sasha N. (9:44 pm): quickly stands and runs a distance from the cafe, once she's out of it Comanche (9:44 pm): Bah, you don't fight because you can't! Dio Cheysa (9:44 pm): That Man: is now on Silver's other side Oh, stop acting reflexively, right now I couldn't harm a flea! But my friends in the hallway will probably intercept those girls that just left. Frosty (9:44 pm): E: runs! Bauks (9:44 pm): N: Let's go get breakfast. Bauks (9:45 pm): N: I still get hungry in -this- form at least. Dio Cheysa (9:45 pm): there's a couple of people that come out of the rooms on either side of the hallway and step into Sasha's and Eve's way shylarah (9:45 pm): ??: with the girls Dio Cheysa (9:45 pm): people who look rather dull, emotionless...and they flicker a little Sasha N. (9:45 pm): it doesn't register to her that they're not normal, at first, and she simply tries to move around them Sasha N.* (9:45 pm): * Frosty (9:45 pm): E: Ahh...! Ash Fox (9:46 pm): Viv: There was one other semi-related item of interest actually sir, though I suspect I will need to delve into more archival information to find out more. Frosty (9:46 pm): E: N-no! Frosty (9:46 pm): F: Alright. smiles Sasha N. (9:47 pm): What's wrong, Eve...? stops and looks at her Frosty (9:47 pm): E: Th-they're...>< Comanche (9:48 pm): ...what! dash into the hallway Sasha N. (9:48 pm): blinks, and looks at the people she tried to move around Dio Cheysa (9:48 pm): People: Your faces... Frosty (9:48 pm): F: stands, heading to leave the room Silver (9:48 pm): Friends in the ha- blink draws his sword and slashes at ThatMan, not really caring if it hits, then follows where Eve and Sasha were running Dio Cheysa (9:48 pm): People: So pretty...we want them. shylarah (9:48 pm): ??: Oh, great. More of you lot. apparently has encountered them before. You two, grab on. We're out of here! extends a hand to each of them* Dio Cheysa (9:48 pm): People: become Faceless shylarah (9:48 pm): ??: Hurry! Frosty (9:48 pm): E: They're f-faceless! Sasha N. (9:48 pm): ...ahh! backs away Bauks (9:48 pm): N: follows, quickly Dio Cheysa (9:48 pm): one of them lunges at Sasha faster than her hand can be grabbed Frosty (9:49 pm): E: grabs ??'s hand, reflexively shylarah (9:49 pm): ??: tries to get a hand on each of the two Sasha N. (9:49 pm): jumps backward, suddenly, kicking both her legs out at the Faceless in a sort of retreating dropkick Comanche (9:49 pm): once he's in the hallway, he fires at the first faceless he has a clear shot at shylarah (9:50 pm): ?: .....I can't wait. I can't fight these things, not here. I'm sorry --- oh. well, then. steps to the side, and abruptly things change shylarah (9:50 pm): ?: sigh of relief That was close. Are you alright, miss? Frosty (9:50 pm): E: crying Dio Cheysa (9:50 pm): That Man: is laying on the countertop now after that slash, sipping the last bits of someone's soda Nice slash, you nearly got me with that one! Dio Cheysa (9:50 pm): Faceless: gets caught in the chest with the dropkick and is sent flying back Frosty (9:51 pm): F: elevator! Bauks (9:51 pm): N: elevator! Dio Cheysa (9:51 pm): Faceless: the second one takes advantage of Sasha's dropkick and leaps for her now that she's tumbling to the ground! Ash Fox (9:51 pm): Viv: Yes, exactly. It may take some time, but I should be able to correlate all the information available quite quickly, if you'd like me to research it. Comanche (9:51 pm): fires at the faceless leaping for Sasha shylarah (9:51 pm): ?: looks at Eve currently in a small room, stone tile in white marble on the ground, with doorways that ought to go somewhere, but don't. shylarah* (9:51 pm): * Sasha N. (9:52 pm): rolls onto her chest and starts to dart off on her hands and knees, surprisingly quickly, like an actual fox Bauks (9:52 pm): (Can I get a sitrep on the ongoing faceless battle?) Bauks (9:52 pm): (Was Eve teleported away from it by a mystery person?) Frosty (9:52 pm): (Seems that way, yeah) Silver (9:52 pm): [Seems so.] shylarah (9:52 pm): ((...someone unknown but who might maybe be recognized showed up, and ended up removing himself and Eve from danger)) Bauks (9:52 pm): (Other than that, who's where?) Ash Fox (9:53 pm): Viv: You are too kind sir. I shall look further into it post haste. Frosty (9:53 pm): (Sasha's fleeing faceless, siv and commie are moving from the cafe to lobby) Frosty (9:53 pm): (thatman is at a table) Ash Fox (9:53 pm): (Viv is nowhere near, I'm just having her do Viv stuff.) shylarah (9:53 pm): ((Lani -- half asleep in the lobby near the cafe. SK&B are in the cafe -- B trying to keep SK from frying Thatman)) Frosty (9:53 pm): E: I-i'm not hurt... Sasha N. (9:53 pm): the Faceless might grab her legs before she could get into much of a run, though shylarah (9:54 pm): ((....Ro fled like the scaredy cat he is. He can't fight. Just make smart-alek remarks)) Dio Cheysa (9:54 pm): Faceless: lashes out at her, but is shot by Comanche Bauks (9:54 pm): N: ding! Dio Cheysa (9:54 pm): Faceless: the other one's back on its feet again, and tries for Sasha again Dio Cheysa (9:54 pm): Cobalt: Take THIS! Frosty (9:54 pm): F: exits... ...! Frosty (9:54 pm): F: Ah! shylarah (9:54 pm): ??: Well, I'm glad to hear that. Pardon my manners; my name is Tarrant. bows Dio Cheysa (9:54 pm): Cobalt: whoom - and there's a forcefield trapping the second Faceless Dio Cheysa (9:55 pm): Faceless: scrabbling against the field keeping it from Sasha, poison dripping from its many, many fangs Sasha N. (9:55 pm): slides around on her four limbs, facing the forcefielded Faceless, and hops to her feet, panting Silver (9:55 pm): More of these, then. Sends a blast of Magic forward, before moving up to Sasha and attempting to cover her escape Go, I'll hold them back! Frosty (9:55 pm): F: draws his pistol, firing at the faceless. Stun rounds. Frosty (9:55 pm): E: E-eve...where am I? Bauks (9:55 pm): N: backs into the elevator, the sword being pinned between the wall and his back >___< Sasha N. (9:56 pm): Alright...! looks at Cobalt for a second, and then heads for the elevators, but flinches at Frosty fires Bauks (9:56 pm): N: ears back at the gunshots, he squints and reaches for the handle of his sword Dio Cheysa (9:56 pm): That Man: Jolly good show! I knew that would be a simple challenge... Frosty (9:56 pm): F: Sasha, this way! Sasha N. (9:57 pm): nods, and darts for the open elevator Dio Cheysa (9:57 pm): Faceless: the second one gets struck by the stun rounds, and convulses as its body is struck Comanche (9:57 pm): firing at the faceless still C'mon, die you %%% things shylarah* (9:57 pm): ??: ....Pocket dimension. They can't get at us here....but if I try to go back to get the others here, I risk your life if I should be killed. I'm not willing to do that -- and it looks like they're holding their own. Anyhow, please have a seat.... gestures to a chair that surely wasn't there before Frosty (9:57 pm): F: steps to the side, leaving Sasha an open doorway Dio Cheysa (9:57 pm): Comanche's shots can't hit it from this side, since the force field that Cobalt put is in the way Frosty (9:57 pm): E: sits ... shylarah (9:57 pm): SK: I'm ....going to....blast you into the next CENTURY!! Dio Cheysa (9:58 pm): Faceless: and it falls to the ground, twitching Dio Cheysa (9:58 pm): I was thinking millenium myself shylarah (9:59 pm): T: ...ah, right. No need to worry. Do as you wish, please. I forgot. It's been quite a while since I saw one of you. looks a bit embarrassed Frosty (9:59 pm): E: o-one of you? Comanche (9:59 pm): Take that %%% field down Cobalt! You can't beat these things by stunning them! Sasha N.* (10:00 pm): heads into the elevator, panting looks at Numl Dio Cheysa (10:01 pm): Cobalt: I was just keeping it from running. shylarah (10:01 pm): T:; ....Long story. Let's just say there's some people out there that are remarkably similar to yourself, and I've met....two. Wait, no....yes, two. Three, now. Dio Cheysa (10:01 pm): Cobalt: But now that you mention it, keeping you from killing it doesn't sound half-bad either. That way maybe we can try to study it, and figure a way to help them get back to who they were before. Comanche (10:02 pm): Are you insane! These things spread and maultiply like rabbits! There is nothing to learn or study either! Bauks (10:03 pm): N: scared Ash Fox (10:03 pm): (Isn't Cobalt a rabbit? XD) Bauks (10:03 pm): (Yes, yes she is.) Dio Cheysa (10:04 pm): (yup, she is) shylarah (10:04 pm): T: A friend of mine made a rather grave mistake, and I'm trying to help her keep from repeating it. Unfortunately, it's been hard locating her. I don't know what she did, but it was effective.... Dio Cheysa (10:04 pm): (a very special rabbit) Dio Cheysa (10:04 pm): Cobalt: Hey, watch the speciesist remarks! Frosty (10:04 pm): E: looking down I=i-i don't know what you're talking about. Sasha N. (10:04 pm): I think they've taken care of them... looks out to the hallway Dio Cheysa (10:04 pm): I don't know, I've eaten a few rabbits in my time. Dio Cheysa (10:04 pm): Cobalt: And you're just kind of freaky! Frosty (10:05 pm): F: pointing his gun at the captive faceless ... shylarah (10:05 pm): T: ...Don't worry about it. looks away Hm....I think they may have things mostly wrapped up... Dio Cheysa (10:05 pm): Faceless: not twitching anymore, and in fact it's reverting back to a person, at least in appearance - a woman with curly dark hair shylarah (10:05 pm): L: thought she saw Numl Comanche (10:05 pm): Now let me kill those things while they are down! Do it or I'll charge you with obstruction of justice! Bauks (10:06 pm): N: he's just pressed against the back of the elevator, ready to swing with his sword... well, sorta ready Frosty (10:06 pm): F: ~What's with the shield...?~ Are you hurt, Sasha? shylarah (10:06 pm): L: ....Numl? blinks Sasha N. (10:07 pm): No, I'm unharmed... sighs in relief Bauks (10:07 pm): N: glances at Lani, and then at the faceless trapped in the shield, nervous Sasha N. (10:07 pm): looks over at Numl Are you alright? Dio Cheysa (10:07 pm): Cobalt: And what are you going to tell the police? "I didn't let them kill this monster that looks like a human, but actually isn't!" shylarah (10:07 pm): L: Hey, it's okay. They can't get you from where they are, right now. Silver (10:08 pm): Hey, calm down. These things used to be people, right? If there's a chance we can give them their lives back, shouldn't we take it? shylarah (10:08 pm): L: approaches slowly, walking about three inches above the floor Comanche (10:08 pm): I AM the police, I'm the chief of this district. These are a threat to those around them and you want to let them go! Frosty (10:08 pm): E: crying again Dio Cheysa (10:09 pm): Cobalt: Didn't say we'd let 'em go... Comanche (10:09 pm): You can keep ONE of them shylarah (10:09 pm): T: ....If you want to go back, I'll take you. Can't say I want to, yet, myself, but.... Dio Cheysa (10:09 pm): ...leave it, police person. turns and stalks away Guess they must learn, as my people did, before they finally understand. Frosty (10:09 pm): (Why did Commie remind me of the line where Chancellor Palpatine becomes Emperor Palpatine?) Frosty (10:09 pm): ("I AM the Senate!") shylarah (10:09 pm): ((....heehee)) Frosty (10:10 pm): E: Wh-what do you want with me? Bauks (10:11 pm): N: calms down a little I guess the fight's over... shylarah (10:11 pm): T: ...I was trying to keep you and that other girl from becoming....well, I'm not quite sure what they are, but it's not pleasant. That's all. I swear it. If you ask me, I'll take you back where we were -- or within a few meters, at least -- right now. Comanche (10:12 pm): My offer still stands. Frosty (10:12 pm): F: walks over to Commie What's going on? Dio Cheysa (10:12 pm): the other Faceless has already melted into rapidly-evaporating movie popcorn butter topping Ash Fox (10:12 pm): Viv: Having finished both her phone call and her breakfast summarily heads off elsewhere in town shylarah (10:12 pm): T: ...though it seems there's a debate about....Mmph. Can't make it out. but there's a few of those things still alive... Comanche (10:12 pm): That Man appeared in the cafe and the faceless attacked... Dio Cheysa (10:12 pm): it isn't really butter you know, they call it butter "topping" Sasha N. (10:12 pm): heads out of the elevator, looking at Numl shylarah (10:12 pm): ((...heehee)) Dio Cheysa (10:12 pm): That Man: whoops he's gone now Frosty (10:12 pm): E: ... Comanche (10:12 pm): Now Cobalt wants to protect the things to study them! shylarah (10:12 pm): SK&B: still in the cafe Frosty (10:13 pm): F: ...Uh. That man? Frosty (10:13 pm): F: look at cafe Comanche (10:13 pm): Yeah, That Man... Frosty (10:13 pm): F: ...what man? Bauks (10:13 pm): N: lets go of his sword, looking at Comanche ??? Silver (10:14 pm): ["What man?" "That man!" "WHAT MAN"] shylarah (10:14 pm): (9....who's on first?)) Sasha N. (10:14 pm): looks at Frosty There was a man, in the cafe... Dio Cheysa (10:14 pm): Cobalt: Isn't that why you used stun rounds, uh, Frosty? Dio Cheysa (10:14 pm): Cobalt: To keep this...one, alive? Dio Cheysa (10:14 pm): (That Man: Well I can tell you who isn't on first!) Dio Cheysa (10:15 pm): (That Man: And it isn't me!) Frosty (10:15 pm): F: looks at Cobalt ...I always carry electric rounds, now. Dio Cheysa (10:15 pm): (That Man: And it is certainly not an evil android race that will wipe out the whole planet to stop the Faceless!) shylarah (10:15 pm): (...Yes Who IS on first! and What's on second!)) Comanche (10:15 pm): That's his name! shylarah (10:16 pm): T: I'm not looking for you, actually. I was going to ask someone, but then those things showed up, and...well. Silver (10:16 pm): [ThanMan's plan to confuse everyone with a difficult name: Success] Frosty (10:16 pm): F: How do you intend to study it? Sasha N. (10:16 pm): (Should I just change my font c_c) Frosty (10:16 pm): F: We're not even sure if we can keep it restrained. What if its'...blood, is contagious? (? why?) Comanche (10:17 pm): Yeah, I say we just put the %%% down Sasha N.* (10:17 pm): (It seems too dark compared to everyone else) Frosty (10:17 pm): (It isn't giving me trouble) shylarah (10:17 pm): T: Ro said that she goes by...."Lani"? ((...ditto)) Bauks (10:18 pm): N: Are you guys arguing about whether to keep and study it, or...? Frosty (10:18 pm): E: O-oh... Frosty (10:18 pm): F: nods at Numl Frosty (10:18 pm): F: We don't have any way to contain it excetpt for...um, where did that shield come from, anyway? Frosty (10:18 pm): F: You? Sasha N. (10:18 pm): ...you should hand it over to the police. shivers shylarah (10:18 pm): T: I never know what to call people. .... shylarah (10:18 pm): T: Especially her. Frosty (10:18 pm): E: Lani... Sasha N. (10:19 pm): What is that, anyway...? Why did it do this? Dio Cheysa (10:19 pm): (naw, Comanche's font is darker than yours Cinder) shylarah (10:19 pm): T: Don't feel you have to tell me anything if you don't want to. Frosty (10:19 pm): F: walks over to Sasha and Numl It's called a Faceless..they're monsters that want to attack Sega City. Dio Cheysa (10:19 pm): Cobalt: keeps the shield up - she has her arms pointed toward it, fingers outstretched Dio Cheysa (10:19 pm): Cobalt: The wall is mine. Dio Cheysa (10:20 pm): Cobalt: Look, I'm not okay with killling people, even if they do that freaky face inside-out thing. There has to be a way to turn them back! Ash Fox (10:20 pm): (All in all you're just a~nother brick in the wall...) Frosty (10:20 pm): F: ...looks over at Dio Don't look at me, she's the one that knows about them. Sasha N. (10:20 pm): (Alright, just checking, I was having trouble seeing it myself) Sasha N. (10:20 pm): (brightened screen slightly) Silver (10:21 pm): frowns I don't like the idea of killing things that use to be people either... but unless you can keep that field up forever and study it without letting it out, there's nothing else to do. shylarah (10:21 pm): ((there's just the one left, right?)) Sasha N. (10:22 pm): Why are they doing this? shylarah (10:22 pm): L: quiet now, though not quite as asleep as she was earlier Bauks (10:23 pm): N: steps closer to the faceless, looking at it Bauks (10:23 pm): N: Hello...? to it Dio Cheysa (10:23 pm): Cobalt: Yeah, she knows about them - and she's the one telling us to kill all of them! How can we trust her, anyway? She eats disgusting things for breakfast every single day and talks about killing stuff like it's legal or something! Bauks (10:24 pm): N: Don't talk about Dio like that! =( Dio Cheysa (10:24 pm): Faceless: still motionless...OOPSNOTANYMOREFACELUNGE Comanche (10:24 pm): Well, it IS legal to kill something that threatens bodily harm! shylarah (10:24 pm): T: Anyhow, looks like it's time to go. I think there's just the one left....not sure what they're doing with it.... Frosty (10:24 pm): F: Killing ...things that attack you and try to eat you is legal, Cobalt. Dio Cheysa (10:24 pm): Faceless: rawr rawr looks like it wants to give Numl a leetle keess Dio Cheysa (10:24 pm): Faceless: maybe some tongue too! shylarah (10:24 pm): T: extends a hand and bows slightly Whenever you are ready, miss. Bauks (10:24 pm): N: step BACK! Frosty (10:24 pm): E: I-is it safe...? shylarah (10:25 pm): ((....ewwww!)) Bauks (10:25 pm): N: Stop that! to the faceless Sasha N. (10:25 pm): asked Frosty something c_c Frosty (10:25 pm): (o__o) Dio Cheysa (10:25 pm): Cobalt: whoom - another wall shows up, though this is visibly creating more strain on her Frosty (10:25 pm): (I even typed a reply) Frosty (10:25 pm): (Maybe it ate it) Frosty (10:25 pm): F: To feed, Sasha. I don't know. shylarah (10:26 pm): T: ....should be safe enough. There's a....hm. don't know what, but it's keeping the thing --whoa, make that two I-don't-know-whats! but yeah, the thing's penned in. Frosty (10:27 pm): E: Okay...takes his hand, looking unsure Comanche (10:27 pm): Drop the wall's Cobalt! Sasha N. (10:27 pm): shivers, looking away from the Faceless Sasha N. (10:27 pm): Don't let it break out! to Cobalt Frosty (10:28 pm): F: Cobalt, can you let me shoot it again? I don't use lethal ammunition, but... Ash Fox (10:28 pm): Viv: And whilst this mess is going on, her hoverbike pulls up outside the hotel. She is, of course, on it shylarah (10:28 pm): T: Don't worry. It's just a little step steps to the side and we're back! reappears, with Eve, somewhere among the little gathering Comanche (10:28 pm): keeping aimed on the faceless Frosty (10:28 pm): E: >< Silver (10:28 pm): notices the strain Cobalt's going through You can't keep that up forever, can you? Dio Cheysa (10:28 pm): Faceless: it's scrabbling at the walls, trapped between those and the hallway walls on either side Dio Cheysa (10:29 pm): Cobalt: I'm not sure how much longer... Frosty (10:29 pm): E: flees into the elevator Frosty (10:29 pm): F: aims at the faceless again Bauks (10:29 pm): N: ... Frosty can knock it out with his bullets. Bauks (10:29 pm): N: to Cobalt Dio Cheysa (10:29 pm): Faceless: hisses, then stares at Cobalt Your face...it is ugly. Ash Fox (10:29 pm): Viv: Stops the engine and looks up at the hotel ~Hmmm... well, it appears to be of relatively good standard from the exterior...~ Dio Cheysa (10:29 pm): Faceless: It must be destroyed...sss... Bauks (10:29 pm): N: They're, uh, electric. Sasha N. (10:29 pm): looks at Eve, surprised, as she flees ~Where did she go...?~ Frosty (10:29 pm): F: ~That's odd...~ shylarah (10:29 pm): L: ....Well, if you guys are done making noise, I am going back to bed.....Honestly....doesn't seem to have noticed the Faceless Comanche (10:30 pm): (Brb) shylarah (10:30 pm): T: stays put, eyeing the Faceless. Hmph. And your face looks like someone mistook it for your hind end.... Frosty* (10:31 pm): F: Cobalt... shylarah (10:31 pm): faceless* Frosty (10:31 pm): F: You're...just letting it suffer. Sasha N. (10:31 pm): looks back at Cobalt Let Frosty get rid of it... Ash Fox (10:31 pm): Viv: Heads toward the front door shylarah (10:31 pm): T: mutters peoples names to himself as he hears them, to help his memory of who's who shylarah (10:32 pm): L: exit to wall closest garden Dio Cheysa (10:33 pm): Cobalt: ...there has to be a way...I'm sorry... Dio Cheysa (10:33 pm): Cobalt: stumbles to her knees, the walls dropping simultaneously Ash Fox (10:33 pm): Viv: And in to the building she goes, to the front desk if there is one shylarah (10:33 pm): T: Pardon me, but...a way to do what? Dio Cheysa (10:33 pm): Faceless: scrambling towards the nearest hallway door to try to get away Sasha N. (10:34 pm): Ah! backs away Frosty (10:34 pm): F: fire! Frosty (10:34 pm): E: Ah! >< Bauks (10:35 pm): N: flinch Ash Fox (10:35 pm): Viv: Hears a muffled gunshot and jerks her head round in that direction Frosty (10:35 pm): (Actually, she probably would have noticed all the weapons and such as sh ewalked in, they're in the lobby o.o) Dio Cheysa (10:38 pm): (this was in a hallway oo; ) Dio Cheysa (10:38 pm): (either way, she notices 'em now) Frosty (10:38 pm): (there is no hallway between the cafe and lobby, there's a half-wall between the two o_o) Frosty (10:38 pm): (There's a hall right next to it though) Frosty (10:39 pm): (so he could've just turned around) Dio Cheysa (10:39 pm): (I thought they got that far before they were intercepted, as the Faceless pair showed up through doors on either side) Frosty (10:39 pm): (shrug It works) Frosty (10:39 pm): F: finds hitting a target in a confined space like a hallway easier anyway Dio Cheysa (10:39 pm): Faceless: scrabbling across the floor, skipping frames, it gets hit in the leg but manages to burst into a door before slamming it behind it Dio Cheysa (10:39 pm): Faceless: leg twitching Bauks (10:39 pm): N: AH! Sasha N. (10:39 pm): It got away...! Frosty (10:39 pm): F: runs forward, chasing Bauks (10:40 pm): N: bites his lip, and then takes off running after it behind Frosty, outpacing him as he grabs his sword shylarah (10:40 pm): T: .....that's a bad thing, isn't it. sigh Guess my business will have to wait.... Ash Fox (10:40 pm): Viv: Certainly is now taking in the aforementioned weapons and things too, and also looking curiously in the direction of all the racket Frosty (10:40 pm): E: looks at Viv ...? shylarah (10:41 pm): T: glances at Viv, without any real interest Bauks (10:41 pm): N: reaches the door and shoves it open with one hand, sword in the other ~We can't let it get away!~ Comanche (10:41 pm): (back) Frosty (10:41 pm): E: Wh-why is she just watching...? shylarah (10:41 pm): ((weeba)) Comanche (10:42 pm): Way to go Cobalt! chase after it Frosty (10:42 pm): F: rounds the corner of the doorway, gun raised. If he sees anything moving that isn't Numl, he fires. Comanche (10:43 pm): And don't you go anywhere Cobalt! shylarah (10:43 pm): T: approach Sasha, if she's not chasing Faceless Sasha N. (10:43 pm): looks at T, blinking Ash Fox (10:43 pm): Viv: Today's Vivienne is dressed rather neatly in loose-fitting white trousers, a pale blue jacket and white gloves, with sensible shoes to go with it all. She has the look of someone fascinated by the spectacle unfolding nearby, but at the same time has "bystander" written all over her expression shylarah (10:44 pm): T: I apologize that I could not get you away also. I did not have enough time to reach you. You are not hurt, I trust? Sasha N. (10:44 pm): No, no, I'm alright...you're the one that took Eve elsewhere, then? shylarah (10:45 pm): T: ~was that ....no, it couldn't have been. He was missing more than half his tails....~ Frosty (10:45 pm): (poke Terg) shylarah (10:45 pm): T: That I am. bows Tarrant, at your service, miss. Sasha N. (10:46 pm): I see...I'm Sasha. extends a hand8 Sasha N.* (10:46 pm): * Dio Cheysa (10:47 pm): (sorry about that) Dio Cheysa (10:47 pm): Faceless: it's hidden now! Dio Cheysa (10:47 pm): Cobalt: ...not that I'm going anywhere, that soon... shylarah (10:47 pm): T: takes her hand and -- in a rather old-fashioned manner -- kisses it lightly A pleasure to meet you Frosty (10:47 pm): F: searches the room Ash Fox (10:47 pm): Viv: Seems mildly perplexed by the goings-on, though strangely unperturbed by it Dio Cheysa (10:47 pm): Faceless: though maybe that chest of drawers over there, one of the shelves in it seems to be quivering... shylarah (10:48 pm): L: reenters her tree, and tries to go back to sleep Comanche (10:48 pm): walk over to the chest.... Comanche (10:48 pm): Then shouldes it hard, to knock it over shylarah* (10:49 pm): I((...numl was the first one in....)) Sasha N. (10:49 pm): manages to smile You're a polite one. shylarah (10:49 pm): T: Merely common courtesty -- though it does seem to grow less common, the farther one travels.... Sasha N. (10:51 pm): Indeed. I wish it were as prevalent as in older days. Bauks (10:52 pm): (That's alright) Dio Cheysa (10:52 pm): Faceless: out spill the drawers, and a Faceless, that leaps up and tries to grab onto the nearest person - maybe Numl, maybe Frosty, maybe Comanche Frosty (10:52 pm): F: fire! Ash Fox (10:52 pm): Viv: Pulls out her phone from her pocket, which is predictably buzzing again, and answers it Comanche (10:53 pm): Fire! shylarah (10:53 pm): T: faint smile Oh, believe me, it is possible to have too much. But some, yes. shylarah (10:54 pm): T: ....You wouldn't happen to know where I could locate Lani, would you? Ash Fox (10:54 pm): Viv: Hello? Yes, I'm afraid so sir. ...mmm, it is a bit odd, but then again it seems they're otherwise engaged... No idea, although from here it sounds like there may be a very large rat or other vermin loose on the premises. Bauks (10:55 pm): (Have the bullets miss as it grabs Numl ) shylarah (10:55 pm): ((...ohdear. Numl!!)) Bauks (10:55 pm): (Just because I want someone to have been grabbed there) Frosty (10:55 pm): (Frosty'll just shoot Numl. Why not? It worked last time. Almost.) shylarah (10:55 pm): ((hehe.)) Dio Cheysa (10:55 pm): Faceless: oh my, look at Numl get grabbed! Dio Cheysa (10:55 pm): Faceless: kissy kissy! Frosty (10:56 pm): F: Fires again! Not at Numl though. Dio Cheysa (10:56 pm): Faceless: not to mention property damage being done here Comanche (10:56 pm): also fires, twice Sasha N. (10:56 pm): Lani? I haven't yet met anyone by that name. shylarah (10:56 pm): ((...Frosty shot Numl?!)) Bauks (10:56 pm): N: tackled down, though he lifted up the sword, and now struggles to block the thing's face with his sword's flat edge Frosty (10:56 pm): E: Lani may be in the a-atrium... Frosty (10:56 pm): (When he was kidnapped, the assailant used Numl as a shield and ended up being zapped) Frosty (10:57 pm): (holding onto someone being hit with electric rounds isn't a good idea) Ash Fox (10:57 pm): Viv: I shall certainly take a look around Master, although I'm not certain this would be suitable. It doesn't seem the most peaceful lodgings... well yes, there is that. I understand sir, I'll go and take a look. shylarah (10:57 pm): ((...ahh, right.)) Sasha N. (10:58 pm): flinching, at the gunshots ... shylarah (10:58 pm): T: ....Hmm? Oh. Thank you, Eve. In that case....let's see...it still looks like the same setup....Ah. That way. bow I may not see either of you two again, but it has been my pleasure to meet you both. cheerful smile, and then walks off Sasha N. (10:59 pm): waves, as he leaves Goodbye... Frosty (10:59 pm): E: shiver >< Ash Fox (10:59 pm): Viv: Decides for now the best place to look around is outside, away from the commotion going on shylarah (10:59 pm): ((....where'd Siv go?))) Sasha N. (11:00 pm): looks to Eve, walking over to her Are you alright, Eve? Comanche (11:00 pm): (Where did Terg go?) Ash Fox (11:00 pm): (Where did Waldo go? :O) Ash Fox (11:00 pm): (Shot) Dio Cheysa (11:00 pm): (I'm right...here! backstab @ Comanche) Frosty (11:00 pm): (Where did my pancakes go?) shylarah (11:00 pm): ((....But I already FOUND Waldo!!)) shylarah (11:00 pm): ((....someone ate them)) Frosty (11:00 pm): E: Y-yeah... Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): Faceless: trying to grab grab grab Numl's face - the rest of him apparently isn't that interesting Ash Fox (11:01 pm): (You ate th--CURSE YOU SHY) Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): Faceless: but finally it gets shot through Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): Faceless: and it melts all over Numl Sasha N. (11:01 pm): puts a hand on her shoulder, gently It's going to be fine. They will stop it. Bauks (11:01 pm): N: desperately keeping the the flat of the blade in the way of it >___< Aghh! Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): Faceless: gross man Dio Cheysa (11:01 pm): (afk for a while) Bauks (11:01 pm): N: flails Ewww! shylarah (11:02 pm): T: enter the atrium ....hm. This definitely has her touch, that's for sure.... Frosty (11:02 pm): F: Numl! rushes over to him Ash Fox (11:02 pm): Viv: Wandering the hotel grounds shylarah (11:02 pm): Ro: outside, somewhere Sasha N. (11:02 pm): Do you want to move where we can't hear the commotion, Eve? shylarah (11:03 pm): T: ....but I don't see her. How odd. Frosty (11:03 pm): E: I don't think we should b-be alone.. Comanche (11:03 pm): Walks right back into the hall Now you... you..... point at Cobalt You're under arrest for obstruction of justice by ignoring the direct commands of an officer. Ash Fox (11:03 pm): (Terg's AFK Commie ) Comanche (11:04 pm): (%%% it D: ) Frosty* (11:04 pm): F: Are you hurt? shylarah (11:04 pm): B: has gotten Sparks calmed down, if ThatMan has gone Sasha N. (11:04 pm): Perhaps... looks at Comanche, blinking shylarah (11:04 pm): B: plants herself firmly between Commie and Cobalt! Sasha N. (11:04 pm): Sir, she was only trying to help! shylarah (11:05 pm): Sk: not interfering Sasha N. (11:05 pm): narrows her eyes at Comanche shylarah (11:05 pm): B: shaking, but firmly planted Comanche (11:06 pm): I ordered to do something, and she failed to follow it. It almost lead to severe personal injury. Bauks (11:06 pm): N: spits >___< shylarah (11:06 pm): B: stands her ground Bauks (11:06 pm): N: Some got in my mouth! Frosty (11:07 pm): F: helps him up Numl, run up to my room. Wash your mouth out with mouthwash, then take a shower. Frosty (11:07 pm): F: Don't swallow. Ash Fox (11:07 pm): (OH LAWD) Frosty (11:07 pm): (?) shylarah (11:08 pm): ((....That's what she said.)) Frosty (11:08 pm): F: Go on, hurry! shylarah (11:08 pm): ((@ "some got in my mouth")) Comanche (11:08 pm): (XDXD) Frosty (11:08 pm): (LMAO) Ash Fox (11:08 pm): (I'm shocked me and shy are the only ones who thought of that) Bauks (11:08 pm): N: does so, hurrying off Sasha N. (11:08 pm): (Eww!) shylarah (11:09 pm): ((...Ash PMed me, but...I had already thought of it. And about two others...)) Bauks (11:09 pm): (Got what? Pancakes?) shylarah (11:09 pm): (((yeah.)) Frosty (11:09 pm): (Yes) Frosty (11:09 pm): (Pancake batter that is) Frosty (11:09 pm): (It's bad for you if it's got raw egg) Ash Fox (11:09 pm): (Maple syrup) Bauks (11:09 pm): N: gone! For shower Sasha N. (11:09 pm): She was keeping it from attaqcking others! Frosty (11:09 pm): F: ... Sasha N. (11:09 pm): (attacking) Frosty* (11:10 pm): F: heads back into the lobby Is everyone alright? shylarah (11:10 pm): B: won't let Commie past without....well, she's not sure about the fight part, but she's hoping it won't come to that Comanche (11:13 pm): I ordered it put down! It attacked Numl! shylarah (11:14 pm): B: shakey glare Sasha N. (11:14 pm): looks at Frosty We're fine, but you must talk some sense into this man! Comanche (11:15 pm): Frosty, Cobalt dis obeyed my order to let the sheidl drop while it was stunned so I could kill it! Frosty (11:15 pm): F: It could've infected Numl. looks at Comanche Frosty (11:15 pm): F: I remember, I was there. shylarah (11:16 pm): Bit: shake head. That's not the really important thing, here....or at least, not the only one Ash Fox (11:17 pm): Viv: Still wandering around outside, around the hotel. For some reason she's taking a great level of interest in the building itself Bauks (11:17 pm): N: speaking of that, Terg - any ill effects from Numl getting melted on? Frosty (11:17 pm): (Terg's AFK) shylarah (11:17 pm): Ro: blink at the newcomer Ash Fox (11:17 pm): (Terg's AFK Boxxy-poo ) shylarah (11:17 pm): ((...yeah...)) Ash Fox (11:18 pm): (Killed) Ash Fox (11:18 pm): Viv: Stands looking up toward the roof of the hotel, looking thoughtful Sasha N. (11:19 pm): Now is not the time to be speaking of arresting victims. glares Frosty (11:19 pm): F: ... Frosty (11:19 pm): F: looks at Commie Enough. Hopefully she won't do that again. Comanche (11:20 pm): Would you be saying that if Numl got bitten?! Ash Fox (11:21 pm): Viv: Mumbles something to herself about the height of the roof, and then turns and continues her walk, looking around and apparently surveying the building and it's grounds carefully Frosty (11:22 pm): F: If Numl got bitten, you'd have a much stronger case for wanting to shoot a subdued unarmed fugitive. Sasha N. (11:23 pm): looks at Frosty, a little gratefully Comanche (11:24 pm): Yes but one that is known to be dangerous! Frosty (11:25 pm): F: She should've let me stun it again. Frowns Couldn't you have like, handcuffed it or something? Comanche (11:26 pm): What's the point with those things? There is nothing that can be done to save them... Frosty (11:27 pm): F: I don't agree with her, but just agreeing to restrain it before the shock wore off probably would have ended better. Sasha N. (11:27 pm): ...it's the civilized thing to do, officer. Frosty (11:28 pm): F: ~Are you alright, Numl...?~ Sasha N. (11:28 pm): You should know that. Ash Fox (11:28 pm): Viv: Pulls out her phone again, because it has predictably rung once more Hello sir. Yes, quite... Not entirely, no. ...my opinion? I have my reservations, if I'm honest. Ash Fox (11:29 pm): Viv: Turns around, looking back in the direction of the front of the building Well, I could take another look I suppose, although I can't say I've seen anything like that yet. Comanche (11:30 pm): IT's not going to act civilized for me so why should I for it? Frosty (11:30 pm): F: This isn't helping, Comanche. Sasha N. (11:30 pm): So due to the fact that it does not act that way, you should stoop to it's level? Comanche (11:31 pm): I never said I would start eating people's faces now did I? Ash Fox (11:31 pm): Viv: Well I would hope so. Certainly, I'll let you know as per usual. Dio Cheysa (11:31 pm): (back) Frosty (11:31 pm): F: Enough! Frosty (11:31 pm): F: loudly Ash Fox (11:32 pm): Viv: Bye for now sir. Flips the phone shut and pockets it again Sasha N. (11:32 pm): goes quiet, dipping her head slightly Ash Fox (11:32 pm): Viv: Strolls back around to the front of the building Dio Cheysa (11:33 pm): (hmm...the Faceless blood may have the strange side effect of tasting like movie popcorn buttery topping, though it quickly - within seconds - evaporates or grows mold* Dio Cheysa (11:33 pm): - Ash Fox (11:33 pm): Viv: Heads inside once more Frosty (11:33 pm): E: flinch >< Frosty (11:34 pm): F: Comanche, don't you have something more useful to do than blame Cobalt? Sasha.. ...softer Go check on Numl, please? He's in my room. Ash Fox (11:34 pm): (There is a front desk in this hotel, right?) Frosty (11:34 pm): (Yeah) Ash Fox (11:34 pm): (Cool) Frosty (11:34 pm): (Oh hey did I ever show you the sims 2 hotel I made) Ash Fox (11:35 pm): Viv: Once more heads up to the front desk and, assuming there is a bell and no-one at the front desk, politely rings the bell Ash Fox (11:35 pm): (Nope) Sasha N. (11:35 pm): I'll do that. quietly, she heads off Frosty (11:35 pm): F: looks over at the desk Frosty (11:35 pm): F: Oh...Vivienne? blink Sasha N. (11:36 pm): knocks on Frosty's door, shortly Ash Fox (11:36 pm): Viv: Glances round at the familiar voice ...Mr Heinen? Gracious, imagine that! Frosty (11:36 pm): (... @ me) Frosty (11:36 pm): (Me: Start typing "(Frosty's not in his room o.o)") Frosty* (11:36 pm): (...attention span fail.) Frosty (11:37 pm): F: smiles Um, I think I saw you walk in earlier. Sorry about hte commotion. Frosty (11:37 pm): F: ~Sorry about the commotion? I hope she's not looking for a room. Gunshots are terrible first impressions.~ Frosty (11:38 pm): F: walks over Comanche (11:38 pm): growl She is not getting off without punishment! Bauks (11:38 pm): N: answers, with some delay, wet and only wearing a towel Ash Fox (11:38 pm): Viv: Think nothing of it, I assumed that there must have been some vermin loose in the premises. Going by the relative quiet, I assume it has now been disposed of? Frosty (11:38 pm): F: just glances over at Comanche, frowning Frosty (11:38 pm): F: Um, you could say that. looks back at Viv Ash Fox (11:39 pm): Viv: Brilliantly clueless about what she's missed Sasha N. (11:40 pm): Hi, Numl. smiles at him, weakly Sasha N. (11:40 pm): Frosty asked me to check on you. Are you okay? Bauks (11:40 pm): N: I'm okay... Bauks (11:41 pm): N: nods Wet. Ash Fox (11:41 pm): Viv: So... are you the proprietor of this establishment? Sasha N. (11:41 pm): May I come in? Dio Cheysa (11:41 pm): Cobalt: ... Frosty (11:41 pm): F: shake head Were you looking for a room? Frosty (11:42 pm): E: ~He's just mad that he was defied.~ Dio Cheysa (11:42 pm): Cobalt: ...and who are you to arrest whoever you want? All I did was try to save a life - and you don't have any proof that says I didn't do that. Frosty (11:42 pm): E: ~...there's only one thing that satisfies people like that.~ Dio Cheysa (11:42 pm): (Maybe Numl will have a sudden increase in hair growth, as a result of Faceless goo contact!) Ash Fox (11:43 pm): Viv: Possibly. Mr Archibald has requested that I survey the available accommodation in the area, as his current business needs require him to be in this locality for an extended period. Dio Cheysa (11:43 pm): (in fact, his entire body will be-oh, he's already GOT that, nevermind XP) Frosty (11:43 pm): F: I see. Sorry about the commotion. It's usually quieter. Comanche (11:43 pm): Don't make me add resisting arrest to your charges.... that nearly was a major situation because of your ignorance. Frosty (11:44 pm): F: Is he looking for a hotel room or a residence? Bauks (11:44 pm): N: steps aside Let me get dressed... shylarah (11:44 pm): Bits: .... looks upset Dio Cheysa (11:45 pm): Cobalt: Nearly? I dunno, you and a few other people had guns and were ready to shoot the thing as soon as my walls went down - isn't it your fault you couldn't hit it? Ash Fox (11:45 pm): Viv: Hmm. Of that, I am not certain at this point. Bauks (11:45 pm): N: heads into the bathroom to do so Bauks (11:45 pm): N: he comes out a second later, dressed Dio Cheysa (11:45 pm): Cobalt: If anything, I helped prevent someone from getting killed - whether this Faceless, or anyone who may have gotten too close to it before I stopped it. Frosty (11:45 pm): F: I can show you both, I suppose. Ash Fox (11:46 pm): Viv: Smiles I'd appreciate that. ^^ Comanche (11:46 pm): I wasn't expecting you to drop your shields like a pansy! Ash Fox (11:46 pm): (Real smooth professional attitude there Mr chif of police) Frosty (11:46 pm): E: S-stop it! steps between Cobalt and Comanche C-cobalt, just g-go away for a minute. >< Please. ~He's gonna yell at me...~ Ash Fox (11:46 pm): (;p) Frosty (11:47 pm): F: looks over at the quarrel ... Comanche (11:47 pm): And what do YOU have to say Eve? shylarah (11:47 pm): Bits: nod, grabbing Eve's hand for support -- and to give support Frosty (11:47 pm): F: I'm not supposed to do this. walks around the desk But we usually end up doing it anyway. shylarah (11:47 pm): ((...alright, I'm going to repeat my question. Where did Siv go?!)) Ash Fox (11:48 pm): Viv: Peers over in the direction of Comanche and Eve for a few moments before turning back to Frosty attentively Frosty (11:48 pm): (Shy, if we knew, we'd tell you, okay?) shylarah (11:48 pm): ((okay.)) Ash Fox (11:48 pm): (But only the shadow knows ) shylarah (11:48 pm): ((thanks anyway)) Frosty (11:48 pm): F: acquires a key for both a hotel room and a residence room shylarah (11:48 pm): ((....perhaps it is Fayte?)) shylarah (11:48 pm): ((gigglesnort)) Frosty (11:49 pm): F: nods, heading toward the elevator Ash Fox (11:49 pm): Viv: Follows Frosty shylarah (11:50 pm): Ro: washing his paw in the elevator, now that things have calmed down Frosty (11:50 pm): E: Y-you're mad because you were defied. bites her lip shylarah (11:50 pm): Ro: Oh, hey, Frosty. Dio Cheysa (11:50 pm): Cobalt: ...Okay, Eve, but only 'cause you asked me, and not him. starts to walk away Ash Fox (11:50 pm): Viv: ...and her phone buzzes in her pocket Goodness me, do excuse me. Pulls her phone out and flips it open, answering it whilst stood there in the elevator shylarah (11:51 pm): B: ....agrees, nodding Frosty (11:51 pm): F: nods, bringing them only to the second floor Frosty (11:51 pm): F: Hi, Ro. Frosty (11:51 pm): F: kneel down, scratches his ear Frosty (11:51 pm): (Weba) shylarah (11:51 pm): Ro: purr =^.^= Sasha N. (11:51 pm): (Gah @ timeout) Comanche (11:52 pm): Mad because I was defied? First, it's angry, as mad infers insanity. Next, what if it had bitten you, huh? Would YOU like to be ignored as if you know nothing because you think violence was wrong even when something wants to ripoff your face? Sasha N. (11:52 pm): sitting on the bed, she looks at Numl Frosty (11:52 pm): E: I...n-no, but... shylarah (11:52 pm): Bits: .......getting increasingly distressed S-stop. shylarah (11:53 pm): Bits: quitely, but does say it Bauks (11:53 pm): N: Are the others okay? Ash Fox (11:53 pm): Viv: Yes sir? Mmhmm, I'm taking a look around now as I said. ...ah, really? That's quite a matter of interest. I'll bear that in mind... yes, well, it would be more convenient than the current arrangement, in some respects. Mmm. Alright... well, I shall let you know. Comanche (11:53 pm): Well then how is it fine for her to do so? Why do you defende her then, huh?! Sasha N. (11:53 pm): Everyone's fine. nods Comanche (11:53 pm): I bet you don't have an answer for that do you Eve? Sasha N. (11:53 pm): You weren't hurt yourself, were you? concern shylarah (11:53 pm): B: Just stop! Frosty (11:54 pm): E: I-it's not illegal to n-not let an officer k-kill someone... Frosty (11:54 pm): E: glances at Bits, just nodding a little. She's...doing this on purpose? Ash Fox (11:54 pm): Viv: As you wish, Master. Goodbye for now. Flips it shut and pockets it again, with an apologetic nod to Frosty Sorry about that. Comanche (11:55 pm): Even when you're ignorant to the danger you're putting others in? Then it's alright? shylarah (11:55 pm): B: They were people once too.... Comanche (11:55 pm): But they are people no longer growl, walk off shylarah (11:55 pm): B: If -- if there's a way to turn them back.... shylarah (11:56 pm): B: ....looks at Eve, shaking Frosty (11:56 pm): E: S-sorry, officer... Bauks (11:56 pm): N: No, but, did they stop fighting? Frosty (11:56 pm): F: It's alright. nods, stepping out of the elevator Which do you want to see first? shylarah (11:56 pm): B: squeeze hand shylarah (11:57 pm): Ro: comes along, why not So....what happened with those headaches? Ash Fox (11:57 pm): Viv: I believe the normal rooms would be best first. Should a room be required, I doubt it would be needed for more than a few days. Of course, that would be subject to change at any time. My master can be quite fickle sometimes. Frosty (11:57 pm): F: I'm fine. Frosty (11:58 pm): E: after Comanche's gone I-it's okay, bits... Sasha N. (11:58 pm): ...Comanche tried to arrest Cobalt for defying his order. Frosty (11:58 pm): E: he...wouldn't stop until h-he's right about something. b-better me than her, he would've... Sasha N. (11:58 pm): frown Frosty (11:58 pm): E: shaking, slightly shylarah (11:58 pm): Sk: ~she talked -- to someone she knows, yes, but she actually disagreed. Good for her! ^.^~ shylarah (11:58 pm): B: nod....shakey smile shylarah (11:59 pm): ((x that!)) shylarah (11:59 pm): B: shake head! maybe true he'd've kept going, but never /better/ one person than another -- and he was wrong! Frosty (12:00 am): F: brings Viv to an unoccupied hotel room then, opening it Ash Fox (12:00 am): Viv: Steps into the room, taking a look around Frosty (12:02 am): It's not the most deluxe hotel room, but it has a bed, decent TV, a desk and dresser, closet, and bathroom. What more is needed? Comanche (12:02 am): (A spa :O) Comanche (12:02 am): (Or rather a hot tub/jacuzzi) Frosty (12:02 am): (There's a hot tub in the pool area :P) shylarah (12:02 am): ((...was just going to mention that....)) Comanche (12:03 am): (Yeah but it's nicer when they are in your room :O ) Ash Fox (12:03 am): Viv: Proceeds to walk around the room scrutinising the fittings and fixtures carefully, including pushing down firmly on the bed mattress at one point, apparently assessing it's firmness before nodding to herslef in approval Bauks (12:03 am): N: frowns ... Dio Cheysa (12:03 am): Cobalt: sighs as she heads off toward her room ~I'm not wrong, am I? Maybe there is a way to save people who have become like that...~ Ash Fox (12:04 am): Viv: I assume that there is, of course, internet access available here? shylarah (12:04 am): Ro: Of course there is! Frosty (12:04 am): F: Yes. nods Frosty (12:05 am): F: There's an ethernet jack by the desk. points And wifi on the first floor. Sasha N. (12:05 am): Frosty helped me talk him out of it, but... sighs Ash Fox (12:06 am): Viv: Ah, excellent. Ash Fox (12:07 am): Viv: Well... I'm satisfied with what I see here, although I'd like to take a look around the other kind of room... residential, you said? Bauks (12:07 am): N: We shouldn't fight over this. Frosty (12:07 am): F: Yes. nods Frosty (12:07 am): F: They're on the other side of the floor. Ash Fox (12:07 am): Viv: If you'd be so good as to show me around then... Frosty (12:08 am): F: opens the door, holding it open and standing out of the way Ash Fox (12:08 am): Viv: Heads out of the room and waits in the corridor Sasha N. (12:08 am): As I told Comanche. Attempting to arrest victims, it was ridiculous... Sasha N. (12:08 am): sighs shylarah (12:08 am): Ro: tagging along Frosty (12:08 am): F: leads Viv to an empty residential room. It's laid out the same, but longer on one end, with more floor space and a kitchenette, and a couch and coffee table. Frosty (12:09 am): The common furniture is the same between both rooms Ash Fox (12:09 am): Viv: Wanders around the room scrutinising it in a similar fashion as before Comanche (12:09 am): (going to bed now. Night!) Ash Fox (12:09 am): ('night Trans) Ash Fox (12:09 am): (Bah) Frosty (12:10 am): E: ~What if he ordered me to be quiet..?~ >< shylarah (12:10 am): (((...heh.))) shylarah (12:10 am): B: ....hug Ari/Arik (12:10 am): (hello^^ ) Ash Fox (12:10 am): (ARI ) shylarah (12:10 am): ((glomp)) Frosty (12:11 am): E: hugged Ash Fox (12:11 am): (ARI PILE!) Ari/Arik (12:11 am): (glomped!^^ ) Sasha N. (12:11 am): (pile) Ash Fox (12:11 am): (Pile on the Ari) Frosty (12:11 am): (pounce) shylarah (12:11 am): ((avoid pile)) Ari/Arik (12:11 am): (and o0;...ARI PILE'D!!...and pounced XD; ) Dio Cheysa (12:11 am): (steals the Ari out from under the pile by digging underneath and then filling the hole back in while making escape!) shylarah (12:11 am): ((...I glomp and run! ^.^)) Sasha N. (12:11 am): But I think it's going to be okay now. Ari/Arik (12:12 am): (and stolen/escape'd! XD;...^^; ) Ash Fox (12:12 am): Viv: ...and right on cue her phone goes off again shylarah (12:12 am): ((Terg absconded with Ari! chase!)) Frosty (12:13 am): F: blink Ash Fox (12:13 am): Viv: Answers it, giving Frosty and Ro an apologetic look Hello? Yes... Well honestly, I'd say it's acceptable, perhaps above that... Ash Fox (12:14 am): Viv: Uh huh? Well yes, I don't see any reason why not... Looks out the window That would be fine with me. Sasha N. (12:15 am): ...oh, Numl? Ash Fox (12:15 am): Viv: Ah, you have? I see. ...yes, that will be quite convenient indeed. ...yes sir, I know. The usual procedures. Sasha N. (12:15 am): I've been meaning to tak to you. shylarah (12:15 am): Ro: ...popular today, isn't she? to Frosty Bauks (12:15 am): N: What for? Bauks (12:16 am): (Hmm) Frosty (12:16 am): F: smirks Mr. Archibald seems a little insistent. Frosty (12:16 am): F: to Ro, not Viv shylarah (12:16 am): Ro: Hm Anyhow, how's Numl doing? Lani was worried about him.... Sasha N. (12:16 am): About when we first met. Frosty (12:16 am): F: Sasha should be with him... Ash Fox (12:16 am): Viv: Well, I shall see to it right away. It shouldn't be too difficult to arrange. Sasha N. (12:17 am): That weapon you carry...it startled me when I saw you with it. Bauks (12:17 am): C: heads into the lobby! Bauks (12:17 am): N: looks down - he has it on his back, again Yeah... shylarah (12:17 am): Ro: Sasha...she must be the one I didn't recognize. The fox, right? Bauks (12:17 am): N: I, I don't really have a choice. Ash Fox (12:18 am): Viv: Very well sir. Smiles Do enjoy yourself. Goodbye. Flips her phone shut and pockets it again shylarah (12:18 am): Ro: I don't suppose you know if Tarrant ever managed to find Lani, do you? Frosty (12:18 am): E: looks at Contrast Sasha N. (12:19 am): I see...if you'd prefer not to explain, I'll understand. Frosty (12:19 am): F: nod ...That guy with Eve? I don't know. Bauks (12:19 am): N: I could, but, it's... complicated. Ash Fox (12:19 am): Viv: Glances briefly at Ro as she recognises Lani's name, but says nothing. She then looks back at Frosty Well, that seems to be the matter settled. shylarah (12:19 am): Ro: ...I would have taken him myself, but....well, the headache, and her current injury -- I can't tell where she is. shylarah (12:20 am): Ro: Is it? to Viv That's good. Or at least most likely it is -- there's always the chance it isn't/ Sasha N. (12:20 am): nods I recall Frosty telling me something to that effect. Sasha N. (12:21 am): I'd like to apologize to you. Bauks (12:21 am): N: smiles, slightly, looking down You don't have to... Frosty (12:21 am): F: looks to Viv Bauks (12:21 am): N: I, I didn't really notice. lie Frosty (12:22 am): F: Well, then. smiles What does he say? Sasha N. (12:22 am): Even so, it was impolite of me. smiles I'm not normally like that. Ash Fox (12:23 am): Viv: My master stated he would like me to reside here whilst his business needs continue. He has of course already found suitable accommodation for himself elsewhere, a little more to his own personal preferences--as I stated before, he can be somewhat fickle about these things. Sasha N. (12:23 am): does seem a little overly concerned about something relatively minor Frosty (12:23 am): F: Alright. Which kind of room would you be needing? Sasha N. (12:24 am): studies his face ~Did he honestly not notice...? I'm sure he did.~ Bauks (12:24 am): N: not an experienced liar Ash Fox (12:24 am): Viv: He stated I should make use of one of this kind for the time being, so I take that to mean we may be in the area longer than originally anticipated. Sasha N. (12:25 am): frowns I'm sorry, if it really did bother you. Bauks (12:25 am): N: ... Bauks (12:25 am): N: Yeah... Bauks (12:25 am): (Tergo, you there?) Sasha N. (12:25 am): You're...not used to carrying that weapon around in front of people, are you? Ash Fox (12:26 am): Viv: Shrugs, with a smile Still, that's nothing new with him. Bauks (12:26 am): N: shakes his head It's only just recently. Frosty (12:26 am): F: Alright. nods What do you think of this room in particular? Or would you prefer a different floor? Bauks (12:26 am): N: That I... started to have to. Sasha N. (12:27 am): I see. frowns I'm sorry to hear it. Ash Fox (12:27 am): Viv: Hmm... If there are any available, a top floor room would be ideal... Then with a hint of apology It's a, ahh, personal preference of mine. shylarah (12:28 am): Ro: I don't think that's a problem...there are several vacancies on the fifth floor. Frosty (12:28 am): F: smiles No problem. We're still a little empty, the hotel only opened last month. Dio Cheysa (12:28 am): (err, yeah, now) Ash Fox (12:29 am): Viv: Aha, I see. As a general answer to both statements shylarah (12:29 am): Ro: ....come to think of it....I think you're the first to have a room on that floor....though I might be wronng. Bauks (12:29 am): N: ... just, don't... don't mind it. Frosty (12:29 am): F: looks at Ro Sasha has one up there. shylarah (12:30 am): Ro: ....she's the one I don't know, remember? Sasha N. (12:30 am): nods I'll do my best. smiles shylarah (12:30 am): Ro: so the second. nod Ash Fox (12:30 am): Viv: Well then. Might I see about sorting out the formalities? Frosty (12:31 am): F: Of course, Vivienne. We'll head back to the reception desk and find the necessary forms. shylarah (12:31 am): Ro: And that's my cue to leave. See ya, Frosty, Vivienne. Ash Fox (12:31 am): Viv: Splendid! Frosty (12:31 am): F: We're technically supposed to let hotel staff do it, but there never seems to be any staff around. Ash Fox (12:31 am): (Lolz) shylarah (12:31 am): Ro: walks out a conveniently-open door Ash Fox (12:31 am): (Viv: Hates Ro for no reason) Frosty (12:31 am): (XD) shylarah (12:32 am): (((...why?)) Ash Fox (12:32 am): (Not really of course, but the timing on that was hilarious) Frosty (12:32 am): (No reason!) Frosty (12:32 am): F: thus, leads Viv back to the first floor, reception desk Ash Fox (12:33 am): (Ro: And that's my cue to leave. See ya, Frosty, Vivienne. Ash Fox (5:31 am): Viv: Splendid!) shylarah (12:33 am): (....I don't see how. unless he's hotel st---well, he was, sorta, but...cats don't do forms.)) shylarah (12:33 am): ((...ahhh. I ee.)) Ash Fox (12:33 am): (I ee sometimes as well) Frosty (12:33 am): (Yeah, I need to ee right now actually, brb) shylarah (12:34 am): (((..... e.e;; )) Ash Fox (12:34 am): ( Â¦Â¬] ) Dio Cheysa (12:34 am): (what am I called for, again? oo) Ash Fox (12:35 am): (Boxu wanted you for some reason I think ) Bauks (12:36 am): (Sorry, back) shylarah (12:36 am): ((weeba)) Sasha N. (12:36 am): (Tony beat the crap out of him) Bauks (12:37 am): (He was maaad) shylarah (12:37 am): ((....?)) Dio Cheysa (12:37 am): (Tony what) shylarah (12:37 am): ((hawk?)) Bauks (12:37 am): (Tony Box) Ash Fox (12:37 am): (They're GRRREEEAT) Ash Fox (12:38 am): (Oh not that Tony either) shylarah (12:38 am): ((....huh?!)) shylarah (12:38 am): ((...oh! heehee.)) Bauks (12:38 am): (Anywho) Dio Cheysa (12:38 am): (MISSILES) Dio Cheysa (12:38 am): (launches a bunch of them) Ash Fox (12:38 am): (Covered in chocolate) Bauks (12:39 am): (Terg was called due to CONTRAST) Ash Fox (12:39 am): (NO EXCEPTIONS) Bauks (12:39 am): C: heads into the lobby shylarah (12:40 am): ((chocolate...people, or missiles?)) Ari/Arik (12:40 am): (weba) Sasha N. (12:40 am): pauses, thinking Do you like those gadgets Frosty sells, Numl? Ari/Arik (12:40 am): (and AH XD;@NO EXCEPTIONS ) Frosty (12:40 am): (Chocolate rain!) Frosty (12:40 am): (sing) Ash Fox (12:41 am): Viv: Heads back downstairs with Frosty to see about filling in paperwork Ash Fox (12:41 am): (Ari remembers <3) Frosty (12:41 am): F: probably already gave Viv paperwork while I was brb due to eeing) Frosty (12:41 am): (no )) Ash Fox (12:41 am): (So that's what you kids call it nowadays) shylarah (12:42 am): ((...you used that phrase before.)) Sasha N. (12:42 am): (Ignore that last line temporarily) Bauks (12:42 am): N: Besides... Ash Fox (12:42 am): (Doesn't mean it doesn't still apply ) Bauks (12:42 am): N: How many 14-year-olds do you know that're strong enough to carry one of these? offers it to her, carefully Ash Fox (12:42 am): (Although it worked better last time) Dio Cheysa (12:43 am): Cobalt: was headed back to her room Bauks (12:43 am): C: frowns, when he sees bullet holes and shell casings ~Agh, what did you guys do now?~ Frosty (12:43 am): (...XD) Frosty (12:43 am): (That sounds like a Lodge line) Ash Fox (12:43 am): Viv: Very carefully and neatly fills in the paperwork Sasha N. (12:43 am): ... seems hesitant, but she tries to hold it shylarah (12:43 am): ((hehe.)) Frosty (12:43 am): (Resident: walks into the main room, sees shell casings and bullet holes ...Damnit SX, what did you do this time?) shylarah (12:44 am): ((giggles)) Bauks (12:44 am): Sword: Heavy - like, improbably to wield heavy shylarah (12:44 am): ((...or "do in", as the case may be.)) Sasha N. (12:44 am): actually manages to hold it up longer than you'd expect, but drops it Ah! Bauks (12:45 am): C: sighs, and starts his way to Frosty's room in a bit of a hurry - he finds Cobalt first Hey! Bauks (12:45 am): C: He's still a rabbit, we'll say, though not muscle'd out Bauks (12:46 am): N: stops it in mid-air before it hits the ground! Bauks (12:46 am): N: reaches out, and carefully takes it Heh... shylarah (12:47 am): T: finally manages to find Lani, in the tree ....That's a new one. looks at her So. You're going by Lani right now, is that it? Ari/Arik (12:48 am): (weba) shylarah (12:48 am): ((ditto)) Sasha N. (12:48 am): How do you carry that, at your size? It's impossible... Bauks (12:49 am): N: It's... kind of the tradeoff for not being able to get far away from it, it's really light to me. Dio Cheysa (12:49 am): Cobalt: her ears visibly perk up, and seem to home in on Connie's voice Dio Cheysa (12:49 am): Cobalt: and she whirls around, looking a lot more cheerful than before Connie! Bauks (12:49 am): C: What happened down there? There's bullet holes... Ash Fox (12:50 am): Viv: Sorts out payment via card Right... I'll arrange for my things to be brought here. It should be pretty straightforward, I always tend to travel light. Sasha N. (12:50 am): This is some sort of magic? Dio Cheysa (12:50 am): Cobalt: Oh...that. Um, there was this guy, that everyone kept calling "That Man", and he seems to have something to do with the Faceless, I guess...and two Faceless showed up. Bauks (12:51 am): N: I... guess so. Ash Fox (12:51 am): (I keep thinking Excel Saga rather than GGXX every time That Man is mentioned, which is giving me some hilarious mental images) Silver (12:52 am): [x_X Auugh, fell asleep at my chair.] shylarah (12:52 am): ((you're back!!)) Dio Cheysa (12:52 am): (weba) shylarah (12:52 am): ((that's another point for me!!)) shylarah (12:52 am): ((it's okay.)) Bauks (12:52 am): C: Them again... is everyone okay? Sasha N. (12:53 am): I see. Sasha N. (12:53 am): ...I hope it doesn't bother you too much. You're just a boy, after all. Bauks (12:54 am): N: It's not so bad. puts it back on his back Sasha N. (12:55 am): I'm glad smiles Sasha N. (12:55 am): (glad.) Sasha N.* (12:55 am): Hmm. pauses, thinking Do you like those gadgets Frosty sells, Numl? Frosty (12:57 am): F: Alright. nods and smiles If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. Bauks (12:57 am): N: nod Yeah. That's the best part about helping there. Ash Fox (12:58 am): Viv: Smiles I'll be sure to do so, Mr Heiner. shylarah (12:58 am): L: looks at Tarrant, utterly clueless shylarah (12:58 am): L: ...yeah, that's what I go by...who are you? Dio Cheysa (12:58 am): Cobalt: Yeah... Sasha N. (12:58 am): Well. How would you like to help me test some of the things I've purchased from him? Frosty (12:59 am): F: nods I'll leave you to it, then. Bauks (12:59 am): N: I'd love to! Dio Cheysa (12:59 am): Cobalt: I think so, anyway. But that cop guy was pretty mad at me when I tried to stop him from killing one of those Faceless. Threatened to arrest me...I owe Eve one for helping with that. shylarah (12:59 am): T: Mmm. frowns, and then blinks Oh, my. No wonder....you really did a number on yourself.... Sasha N. (1:00 am): smiles Shall I bring them here? shylarah (1:00 am): L: .....Stop that. Who are you?! shylarah (1:00 am): T: .....I doon't think I can safely tell you that... Ari/Arik (1:00 am): (hello/weba@Terg ) Ash Fox (1:00 am): (Webbles Tergopants) Ash Fox (1:01 am): Viv: Wanders off to take a look around the hotel itself Bauks (1:01 am): C: ... whyyy did you try to save it? Bauks (1:01 am): N: Um, sure... or I can go with you. Frosty (1:02 am): (XD @ Connie) Sasha N. (1:04 am): That might be easier. If you don't mind? heads for the door Tergonaut (1:04 am): (back) shylarah (1:04 am): ((weeba!)) Tergonaut (1:04 am): Cobalt: Because it's a person! Ari/Arik (1:04 am): (weba) Bauks (1:04 am): N: follows! Tergonaut (1:04 am): Cobalt: Maybe if we had one, we could find a way to turn them all back. Bauks (1:05 am): C: ... sigh I... Bauks (1:05 am): C: They seem too far gone for that. Sasha N. (1:05 am): takes the elevator with him to the top floor, then heads to her room, entering Frosty (1:05 am): F: looks around - who's in the lobby?) Frosty* (1:05 am): Ari/Arik (1:06 am): (weba) Sasha N. (1:06 am): (What is it with the more common timeouts lately) Sasha N. (1:06 am): (thaaanks) Tergonaut (1:07 am): (yeah, I was even typing that time and got a timeout) shylarah (1:07 am): ((brb. bug rescue...)) Tergonaut (1:07 am): (it doesn't seem to be related to activity) Sasha N.** (1:07 am): she's already had her stuff moved into the room, with Frosty's help - she owns a lot of nice furnishings, the place looks pretty good. Various gadgets are lying on a table, neatly arranged Tergonaut (1:08 am): Cobalt: But, nobody's even trying. We can't know until we try, right? Bauks (1:08 am): C: I suppose so... Bauks (1:09 am): C: Maybe, if we had one, I could try something. shylarah (1:10 am): (mission accomplished. Re!)) Sasha N. (1:10 am): F: walks into the lobby Ari/Arik (1:10 am): (weba@shy ) Frosty (1:10 am): F: Hey, Faust. Frosty (1:11 am): (It seems to come and go.) Sasha N. (1:11 am): walks over to the table, picking up the laser Ari/Arik (1:11 am): (and congrats!^^@bug rescue...caught and released an insect today as well (a cricket^^; ) ) Tergonaut (1:11 am): (hee hee, we got a cricket or grasshopper out the other day) Tergonaut (1:11 am): (usually it's just spiders) Sasha N. (1:11 am): Numl, could you collect some of those? points to a plastic bag, filled with party balloons Tergonaut (1:11 am): (the occasional centipede or earwig) shylarah (1:11 am): ((....I let them stay. the spiders, that is.)) Sasha N. (1:12 am): F: Hi, Frosty. frowns Bauks (1:12 am): N: does so! Should I blow them up? Frosty (1:12 am): (squishes spiders on sight.) shylarah (1:12 am): ((....those, I usually kill)) Sasha N. (1:12 am): F: I heard something happened down here... Silver (1:12 am): [Bugs. ._.] Sasha N. (1:12 am): nods Tergonaut (1:12 am): (if they stick in corners, I may be willing to forgive them, but the ones I see are usually the ones scurrying on the floor) shylarah (1:12 am): ((...I like the window hunters, myself. they're so CUTE!!)) Frosty (1:13 am): F: Er, yeah. The bullet holes are Comanche's. Frosty (1:13 am): F: c_c Tergonaut (1:13 am): (there was this one kind though, a spider with large fangs, red legs, a brown/black body, and a peach or white abdomen) Tergonaut (1:13 am): (nasty large fangs, you could see the points) shylarah (1:14 am): ((OH! huge, round abdomen?)) shylarah (1:14 am): ((like a balloon?)) Sasha N. (1:14 am): F: crosses his arms Some of them are yours, aren't they. Tergonaut (1:14 am): (well, the ones I've seen are rather large, but no, not like a balloon so much) shylarah (1:14 am): ((...I saw one of those making a web. That was the first time I ever saw a spider spinning.)) Sasha N. (1:14 am): F: seems to be in better spirits, he looks like he's taking care of himself more Tergonaut (1:14 am): (they aren't usually that much larger than the rest of them) Bauks (1:14 am): N: does so... and then stops Um, I've never tied one of these before. Bauks (1:15 am): (bite Terg) shylarah (1:15 am): B: look at Faust looks around for Bubastis Sasha N. (1:15 am): Ah...here, let me show you. reaches for it Tergonaut (1:15 am): Cobalt: Yeah! I mean, you do have your shapeshifting abilities! Tergonaut (1:15 am): (^~ @ bite) Sasha N. (1:15 am): Bu: not there Tergonaut (1:15 am): (getting feisty are we?) shylarah (1:15 am): B: ....approach Faust Frosty (1:15 am): F: looks at Bits Sasha N. (1:16 am): F: looks at Bits shylarah (1:16 am): B: look at Faust, her face a question Sasha N. (1:16 am): F: What is it? Silver (1:17 am): wandering around now, heads to the atrium so he can tell Lani what happened. Bauks (1:17 am): C: Maybe I could try and turn whatever's got their brains so screwed up back to normal... shylarah (1:17 am): Sk: ....she wants to know where Bubastis is, and how he's doing. from several feet away Bauks (1:17 am): N: carefully gives it to her shylarah (1:18 am): L: What do you mean, you do't think you can safely tell me?! Sasha N. (1:19 am): takes it, starting to tie shylarah (1:19 am): L: sounds indignant, nd a bit upset Sasha N. (1:19 am): shows Numl how it's done Just stretch this around your finger, wrap the end around, push it underneath... Tergonaut (1:19 am): Cobalt: Yeah, that sounds like something we could try! Tergonaut (1:19 am): Cobalt: But...if they find out you can do that, then they'd probably start going after you... Sasha N. (1:19 am): F: He's fine...he hasn't changed any more. He's in my room. shylarah (1:20 am): B: ....pleased, but also a little downcast Sk: ....what do you mean, "talk"? Bu can talk? Silver (1:21 am): ...? steps into the Atrium Bauks (1:21 am): N: gets another one, and does the same Bauks (1:21 am): N: That's not so hard. Sasha N. (1:21 am): It isn't, is it? smiles shylarah (1:21 am): T: sigh I can't tell you that either. I'm sorry. I think I got the wrong timeline.... Bauks (1:22 am): N: How many do we neeed? shylarah (1:22 am): L: Oh, no you don't! You tell me what you're talking about! Sasha N. (1:22 am): A few more should be a good start. Sasha N. (1:22 am): starts inflating another balloon, herself Frosty (1:23 am): F: Hey, Faust. Can we talk? Sasha N. (1:23 am): F: ...I was told he talked, but he hasn't said anything to me. Silver (1:23 am): ...What's this about? to make himself known Sasha N. (1:23 am): F: looks at Frosty Sure... shylarah (1:23 am): L standing by the tree, with the new platinum-blond-haired man nearby shylarah* (1:23 am): * shylarah (1:23 am): B: sigh shylarah (1:23 am): B: wave and weak smile, and goes to stand by Sparks Tergonaut (1:24 am): Cobalt: ...well, they won't be getting you! hugs Connie My bunny! Frosty (1:25 am): F: apologetic smile at Bits shylarah (1:25 am): Sk: ....It's not you, Frosty. smile Bauks (1:25 am): C: hugs back, a little surprised Heh... shylarah (1:25 am): L: looks up Sasha N. (1:26 am): F: frowns shylarah (1:26 am): T: turns to face Silver shylarah (1:26 am): T: Oh, hello. I didn't realize anyone else was around. Frosty (1:26 am): F: heads to the cafe, looking down again Sasha N. (1:26 am): after they've got several inflated, she holds one between her fingers, holding the laser out to Numl shylarah (1:26 am): L: ....He comes here, looking for me, already knowing what I'm called here, and now he doesn't want to tell me anything! Sasha N. (1:27 am): F: follows Frosty there Tergonaut (1:27 am): C: giggles a little ^^ Sasha N. (1:27 am): F: What's this about? sits somewhere shylarah (1:27 am): T: ....I have a /very/ good reason for that. In fact, I shouldn't stay around too long....it might cause problems.... Tergonaut (1:27 am): C: but then she remembers ...That Man, whoever he was, said something about the Faceless...hating me? Because of what I was? Bauks (1:27 am): N: takes it You'll let me do it? Frosty (1:28 am): F: ...remember what I said after we rescued Numl, about how...that happens, sometimes? Tergonaut (1:28 am): Co: And then he mentioned something about finding out about me before "they" get to me...he didn't seem to be talking about the Faceless, though, that time. Sasha N. (1:28 am): I thought you should get to do the fun part. smiles shylarah (1:28 am): L: See what I mean?! Sasha N. (1:28 am): F: nods Your anger... Bauks (1:28 am): C: lets go Huh... what makes you different to the Faceless compared to me? Bauks (1:29 am): C: ... hrm. Same thing that makes you different to me. Frosty (1:29 am): F: I...Numl. He and Mom and I took him outside the city yesterday. Tergonaut (1:29 am): Co: Oh, that...do you think there's really a connection? Frosty (1:29 am): F: Because he wanted - ...no, needed - to use his Trifecta form. Sasha N. (1:30 am): All you need to do is aim and press that button. It's already ready. Silver (1:30 am): Frowns You already know her name, if nothing else tell her yours. Sasha N. (1:30 am): F: frowns I noticed you all were gone, but I didn't know why. Sasha N. (1:31 am): F: ...how did it go? Frosty (1:31 am): F: ...it went alright. He just wanted to know that...that we accept all of him. shylarah (1:32 am): T: ....Not a good idea. In fact, probably a /very/ bad idea. And no, I /don't/ know her name, actually. She's not the sort to give that out.....even when she does know what it is. Lani doesn't know her name. Bauks (1:32 am): N: does so, pointing the laser at the balloon Bauks (1:33 am): C: Look, I... the only thing I can really explain this with is that you're, I don't know... synthetic? shylarah (1:33 am): L: glaring at Tarrant ~how on earth does he know that?! I didn't tell him anything about not remembering....who is he?!~ Frosty (1:33 am): F: We spent a few hours in the city. ...that's not important. Frosty (1:33 am): F: Well, it is, but not what I bring it up for. Sasha N. (1:33 am): the balloon gets heated pretty quickly by the strong beam, and soon pops! Sasha N. (1:34 am): F: Why did you bring it up? Frosty (1:34 am): F: He said that he could...sense me. Frosty (1:34 am): F: He said one of my parents was a demon. Tergonaut (1:34 am): Co: Synthetic? But I breathe, I can feel...I have a heartbeat. Sasha N. (1:36 am): F: blinks ...but, Dawn isn't... Frosty (1:36 am): F: No, my real parents. Frosty (1:36 am): F: Mom and Dad adopted me. Nod Silver (1:37 am): ...Could I speak with you privately for a moment, sir? Sasha N. (1:37 am): F: Ah. Sasha N. (1:37 am): F: ...did you ever know them? Bauks (1:37 am): C: I don't know, I can't think of another explanation than that... shylarah (1:37 am): L: folds arms, but doesn't object T: Of course. follows siv wherever Frosty (1:38 am): F: shake head But Mom met...uh, Mom, a little after I was born. Bauks (1:38 am): C: Can I try something to be completely sure? Sasha N. (1:39 am): F: Did she tell you what your real mom was like? Frosty (1:39 am): F: She said she was really nice. Silver (1:40 am): heads outside the door, but not too far from it ...I need you to tell me about Lani. Bauks (1:40 am): N: grins Awesome... Sasha N. (1:40 am): F: Anything else? Bauks (1:40 am): N: It works better on black stuff, right? Tergonaut (1:41 am): Co: blinks Sure, what is it? Sasha N. (1:41 am): I'd imagine so...ah, here! holds up a black balloon they'd inflated Frosty (1:41 am): F: Not really...she said she...didn't really know what to do with me. She never met my real dad, but she said that my real mom said that he lived in Canaus. Bauks (1:43 am): C: holds out his hand, and grows a very thin, sharp needle of bone from it Can I see your finger? Sasha N. (1:43 am): F: Sorry to hear that. frowns Bauks (1:43 am): C: N: point, laser shylarah (1:43 am): T: ...What do you want to know? I'm not able to tell you about Lani herself, really, but I know several others that are /very/ like her. Bauks (1:43 am): (o.o N:) Tergonaut* (1:43 am): Co: oo; Um, sure...what are you going to do with it? Frosty (1:43 am): F: ...but, he's right. shylarah (1:43 am): T: ..With the exception of I've never met a varient that had sealed herself off. Sasha N. (1:43 am): the balloon bursts much quicker, making Sasha jump Aah! Frosty (1:44 am): F: I don't know how I knew, but when he said, it just...I knew he was right. Sasha N. (1:44 am): F: Are you sure? You're not... Bauks (1:44 am): N: grins, tails swishing Sasha N. (1:44 am): F: Except when you get...angry like that, you're so nice. Sasha N. (1:44 am): looks at Numl, laughing a little Are you having fun? shylarah (1:45 am): L: thinking, trying to remember something, /anything/, that might tell her who the man is Bauks (1:45 am): N: I gotta get one of these. Frosty (1:45 am): F: I know. sighs Bauks (1:45 am): N: Just poke it and get a liittle blood. Bauks (1:45 am): (C:) Sasha N.* (1:46 am): Hmm. This model was quite expensive, actually. Sasha N. (1:47 am): F: Do you think...whoever your parents are, you got that from them? Sasha N. (1:47 am): F: Along with your ice powers? Tergonaut (1:47 am): Co: Well...okay...^^; I don't really like needles, but if it'll be quick...holds out her finger I trust you. Tergonaut (1:47 am): (Connie: STAB) Frosty (1:47 am): F: ...nods I think so. Frosty (1:47 am): F: I guess. sighs Tergonaut (1:47 am): (Cobalt: OW YOU SONUVVA-) Bauks (1:47 am): C: poke! Bauks (1:48 am): N: nods Yeah... Bauks (1:48 am): N: Frosty's paying me now, for helping at the shop. Not very much, but I didn't want any money anyways. Sasha N. (1:48 am): F: looks down, a little If you...really do have demon parents, that doesn't change anything. Frosty (1:49 am): F: sighs I know, but...you're my friend, you deserve to know what I am. Silver (1:49 am): Sealed herself off... I figured something like that. So if she wasn't sealed she'd be like these... variants? What are they... what is she? Sasha N. (1:49 am): F: ...thanks. Sasha N. (1:49 am): F: looks up You didn't need to, though. Sasha N. (1:49 am): F: I haven't told you much of anything about my life... Frosty (1:50 am): F: shrugs You don't have to. Tergonaut (1:50 am): Co: poked! And there is red fluid there all right Sasha N. (1:50 am): He's a very nice man, isn't he. smiles Bauks (1:51 am): C: looks around, to see if anyone else in the hall, and then pulls her finger up and into his mouth, tasting for both genetic material and for the taste of blood in general Frosty (1:51 am): F: I guess...I guess only one of them was. I thought it would be...you know, obvious, like demons in a children's story or something. shylarah (1:51 am): T: ...She's....a guardian, usually. Protecting something. Strong-willed -- stubborn, actually. But she cares, perhap too much, about others. Frosty (1:51 am): F: But, like, Trifecta? He was...afraid of Mom and I. He was afraid we'd shun him, I think. Sasha N. (1:52 am): F: blinks Really... Tergonaut (1:52 am): Co: blushes a little bit I-I thought you were going to suck it through that needle! though she doesn't move it either Sasha N. (1:52 am): F: You wouldn't think that, after...well. looks off, a little Tergonaut (1:52 am): Blood: blobby blorb blorp Frosty (1:52 am): F: Yeah... shylarah (1:52 am): T: Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I know /why/ she's Sealed off.... Sasha N. (1:53 am): You're a nice boy, too. You didn't have to refuse pay for your work... Bauks (1:53 am): N: ... am I even legally allowed to work? <__< Frosty (1:53 am): F: Trifecta said he...felt me, and... Frosty (1:54 am): F: ...I think I can sorta...feel Numl. shylarah (1:54 am): T: and it is part of why I was trying to find her again. Of course, with her sealed....it's no wonder I had trouble finding her.... Bauks (1:54 am): C: Results?! Tergonaut (1:55 am): Blood: well...it looks like blood, and it kinda tastes a bit of metal like blood, except it isn't quite so coppery - and there's no genetic material, there are "cells" but at best they may be a kind of bioplastic carrier shylarah (1:55 am): T: but I cant warn her here. She would end up breaking the seal, and that's not a good idea, at least not until there is no other choice. She's safe, for now. Sasha N. (1:56 am): That is a good point. Bauks (1:56 am): C: It doesn't even really taste like blood. Sasha N. (1:57 am): Still...ah well. Sasha N. (1:57 am): F: ...really? Bauks (1:57 am): C: And I made my sense of taste as sharp as I could just to make sure... Frosty (1:57 am): (Yes, actually, with...er, parental permission) Frosty (1:57 am): (so no) Tergonaut (1:57 am): Co: You aren't a vampire, are you? Frosty (1:57 am): (@ Numl) Silver (1:57 am): If you can't warn her, warn me... because "for now" isn't good enough. Why did she seal herself? Bauks (1:57 am): (Numl's being paid cash anyways =D) Bauks (1:57 am): (They'll never know!) Sasha N. (1:57 am): F: frowns ...have you ever felt that with other people? Frosty (1:58 am): F: I...I think. I don't know, it's hard to pin down. Frosty (1:58 am): F: shake head Bauks (1:58 am): C: I could turn into one. smirks Sasha N. (1:58 am): F: As in, people that could have been demons, except you wouldn't know, since you said they're not like what you'd imagine. Sasha N. (1:58 am): F: nods Frosty (1:58 am): F: Have you ever tried to recall a dream? It's like...you know that you had a dream, but you can't think of any specific detail, like it's just past what you can remember. Bauks (1:58 am): C: Give myself sensitivity to light, and fangs... Bauks (1:58 am): C: But no. Sasha N. (1:58 am): looks at the table Do you want to try anything else? Frosty (1:59 am): F: It's like that, I feel like there might be something, but I can't quite...reach it. Gah, I don't know. Bauks (1:59 am): N: looks for anything cool Tergonaut (1:59 am): Co: ^^; You just seemed a little casual about that...~Although that was kinda kinky!~ But, so it doesn't taste like blood? Silver (1:59 am): [C: [[insert twilight joke here]]] Sasha N. (2:00 am): F: ...well, you did just learn this recently. Sasha N. (2:00 am): F: Maybe it'll come to you, after you spend more time thinking about it. shylarah (2:00 am): T: Someone else is after one of the varients. And....he's willing to use anyone to get at her. That means if Lani remembers, she'd be vulnerable. So long as she doesn't, she's useless. The fact that she /has/ Sealed herself makes me think that she has run into this person before, and has needed to actively hide from him. Sasha N. (2:00 am): there's those night vision goggles she bought! Bauks (2:00 am): C: It taste kind of like... metal. Not coppery like blood, though. Bauks (2:00 am): C: And plastic. Bauks (2:01 am): N: already played with some of those before Sasha N. (2:01 am): (Hmm) Sasha N. (2:01 am): (Not really sure what there is that a kid would particularly enjoy playing with c_c FF?) Bauks (2:02 am): N: indeed!) Silver (2:03 am): Who? Why is he after her? Sasha N. (2:03 am): showing Numl some pinhead-sized cameras, later on Tergonaut (2:04 am): Co: Plastic?! I haven't been eating that many processed foods! shylarah (2:04 am): T: ....He's after the other version for revenge....and as for who....looks uncomfortable shylarah (2:05 am): T: .....he's another version of me. shylarah (2:05 am): T: or something. It's not quite so easy if you don't stick to one dimension. things get a bit sketchy. Ash Fox (2:06 am): (Gonna head to bed, pretty exhausted) Ash Fox (2:07 am): ('night guys) shylarah (2:07 am): T: That's why I can't stay, nor can I give my name. Im pretty sure that it's similar enough that it would trigger something... shylarah (2:07 am): ((night...)) shylarah (2:07 am): (((glomp)) Ash Fox (2:07 am): (Â¦3) Bauks (2:08 am): C: There's more, too, I mean... when we kissed yesterday? Bauks (2:08 am): C: Didn't really taste like much either. Frosty (2:08 am): F: ...maybe. Frosty (2:08 am): F: Rememberwhen Numl was kidnapped? Frosty (2:08 am): F: Comanche and I were in the cafe, and we heard Duvesa say someone was after him. Silver (2:08 am): ...Alright. One last thing though. Even if you can't give a name, at least give me a false name, and something to tell Lani. I doubt she'll belive I talked to you this entire time without learning anything. Sasha N. (2:09 am): F: nods ... Frosty (2:09 am): F: I just...ran up to Numl's room when I heard that. I didn't know why, it just seemed like the right thing to do. shylarah (2:09 am): L: ~Wait...that voice, that face.....~ Frosty (2:10 am): F: I think maybe that's related. Tergonaut (2:10 am): Co: she crosses her arms I suppose I don't taste that good compared to other women...huff Sasha N. (2:10 am): F: That's what I was thinking. Bauks (2:10 am): C: Do you think you might be artificially made, somehow? Sasha N. (2:11 am): F: Though, it could've just been because you like him so much...instinct, you knoow. Sasha N. (2:11 am): (know) Bauks* (2:11 am): C: That might explain your shield ability. Frosty (2:11 am): F: ...actually, Numl asked if maybe that was why I was so determined to help him. sighs I don't know. Tergonaut (2:11 am): Co: But, what am I then? I have memories of parents, of growing up... Tergonaut (2:12 am): Co: And who could make something like me anyway? Bauks (2:12 am): C: shrugs Hmm... Sasha N. (2:13 am): F: You mean, the demonicness? Tergonaut (2:13 am): (got to get going, good night all) Frosty (2:14 am): F: his ears fold back I should find a better word for that. shylarah (2:14 am): T: ....Tell her E'li. She'll understand that. But she's not going to be thinking about that. -- and I need to leave, /now/. Seriously. I think something made it through. Don't let her remember, if you can help it. As long as the one that goes by TimeHawk can't get information out of her, she's not worth going after in earnest, but she clearly has /something/ that he could use, or he wouldn't have been after her before. Ari/Arik (2:14 am): (rest well, and 'nite@Terg ) shylarah (2:14 am): ((Jaa.)) Sasha N. (2:14 am): F: Sorry. looks off, slightly I couldn't think of one myself. Frosty (2:15 am): F: But...yeah, maybe. Sasha N. (2:15 am): Wel, Numl. I think we've tried everything you wanted to... putting everything back where it was Frosty (2:15 am): F: shakes his head It doesn't change anything. Silver (2:15 am): nods, and heads back into the Atrium Frosty (2:15 am): F: Numl...Trifecta...didn't make anything there that wasn't already there. Sasha N. (2:15 am): F: nods shylarah (2:16 am): L: shiver Silver...I think -- I think I've seen him before.... Sasha N. (2:16 am): F: I'm glad it went okay. frowns shylarah (2:16 am): T: steps, and is gone Sasha N. (2:16 am): F: I feel bad for not going...I just haven't felt up to doing much lately. Sasha N. (2:16 am): F: I guess it was also a personal thing, kinda. Ari/Arik (2:16 am): (gonna be headed off now as well...rest well, and 'nite everyone^^ ) Silver (2:16 am): Well, I talked to him, and he said... I'm not sure I understand myself, but "E'li". shylarah (2:17 am): ((night, Ari.)) Bauks (2:17 am): N: nods Bauks (2:17 am): N: This makes me want to get into electronics more... Bauks (2:17 am): N: I'm not good with computers. =\ Frosty (2:17 am): F: It's alright. Frosty (2:17 am): F: What were you and Mom talking about the other day? tilt head shylarah (2:18 am): L: ....no, he wouldn't be that. I'm remembering...someone, trying to take something.... Sasha N. (2:19 am): F: Well, it was about that, really...me not feeling well, I mean. Silver (2:19 am): What is "E'li", anyway? hoping Laniwill tell him instead of trying to remember... shylarah (2:19 am): L: eyes narrow I don't understand. I never met him, but I know him.... Sasha N. (2:19 am): Don't feel bad. I'm not incredibly experienced with them myself. smiles Frosty (2:19 am): F: Mhmm...? Sasha N. (2:20 am): These gadgets make up most of my experience... shylarah (2:20 am): L: ....it is....like "teacher", but not quite. But that doesn't make any sense.... Sasha N. (2:21 am): F: Just...with everything that's happened lately, I've been down, I guess. Silver (2:21 am): "but not quite"? How are they different? Sasha N. (2:22 am): F: She suggested I go out and do something I've thought about doing. Frosty (2:22 am): F: Oh? shylarah (2:22 am): L: Different language.....but he's not, he's dangerous....I can't let him find me.... Frosty (2:23 am): (Lani: Because it sounds more brooding and mysterious if I note that the language doesn't translate directly.) Sasha N. (2:23 am): F: nods Get my driver's license. Silver (2:24 am): [At least it's more realistic than ancheint launguages that make rhyming puns in english] Frosty (2:24 am): F: Ah...nods Frosty (2:24 am): (True.) shylarah (2:24 am): ((...no, because "teacher" is actually shalafi, but that comes with the connotation of "master". E'li is more of a friendly title, not very formal at all.)) Bauks (2:25 am): N: Most kids my age play video games a lot, that helps them get into this kinda stuff. shylarah (2:25 am): ((....shalafi-messan relationship is almost master-apprentice, actually. E'li....the name-title can be used for /anyone/ who has knowledge that is freely shared with others....)) shylarah (2:25 am): ((....puns? huh?)) Frosty (2:25 am): (Shy, do you have some kind of quota to fill? you correct me at least 5 times a night. more often than not over a joke, like previous) shylarah (2:26 am): ((.....I was already explaining it.)) shylarah (2:26 am): ((...wait, waht?)) Sasha N. (2:26 am): F: Your mom said that if I can get my license, she'd let me drive her Ferrari. perks up Frosty (2:27 am): (the lani line about languages sounding more mysterious was a joke) Sasha N. (2:27 am): Ah...I've never had the chance to play those. sighs shylarah (2:27 am): ((...it was? whoosh)) Frosty (2:27 am): F: ...folds amrs You can't even get the manufacturer right and she's gonna let you drive it? She's never even let me touch the keys to that thing! shylarah (2:27 am): ((sorry. x.x)) Sasha N. (2:28 am): F: Wait... smirks Porsche? Frosty (2:28 am): F: Yes, she's never let me touch her Porsche. shylarah (2:28 am): L: He can't find me if I....I did something.... Frosty (2:29 am): F: Hmph. Bauks (2:29 am): N: blinks You haven't? Bauks (2:29 am): N: There's some in the arcade! Silver (2:29 am): Hey, he's gone now, and he says he's not coming back. You don't have to worry about it. Sasha N. (2:29 am): I just never have... seems embarrassed shylarah (2:30 am): L: ...something's wrong. wrong with me.... Bauks (2:30 am): N: You should come try some with me. Sasha N. (2:30 am): F: Oh, wow. grins, for the first time in a while I could do something her own son hasn't. Bauks (2:30 am): (What should I do with Contrast?) Silver (2:30 am): [Is Lani tangible right now?] shylarah (2:30 am): L: I should be able to do more to help....I should be able to remember...! shylarah (2:30 am): ((....yeah. Mostly.)) Frosty (2:31 am): F: casually pulls several napkins from a dispenser and just throws them at him Sasha N. (2:31 am): How do you play? Silver (2:31 am): ['kay.] shylarah (2:31 am): ((feels a bit strange, but you can touch her.)) Frosty (2:31 am): (Have him join Faust and Frosty?) Sasha N. (2:32 am): F: Hey! @o Sasha N. (2:32 am): F: It's the truth. Frosty (2:32 am): F: She's never let anyone other than Dad drive that! laughs Bauks (2:32 am): N: Depends on the game. Frosty (2:33 am): F: And he only because he bought it for her. Silver (2:33 am): ...Hey. walks over to her... and hugs her There's nothing wrong with you. Even if you think you're not how you should be... there's nothing wrong with you. Sasha N. (2:34 am): You'll have to teach me, otherwise I won't know what I'm doing... Frosty (2:34 am): E: Meanwhile, she's spent the past long while on a couch in the corner of hte lobby, collecting herself >< Sasha N. (2:34 am): F: Who would've thought she'd let me of all people touch it, eh. shylarah (2:35 am): L: shaking No, I can't...can't remember. But it's getting closer....I want to know what it is.... shylarah (2:35 am): L: and at the same, the thought terrifies me. Bauks (2:36 am): N: I'm not very good, but I know how to play. C'mon. Bauks (2:36 am): N: heads off! Frosty (2:36 am): F: Hmph. Silver (2:36 am): ...You'll remember eventually. But... not now. Frosty (2:37 am): F: Well, in case you aren't too busy charming my mom, think you can get me those keys somehow? fold arms Silver (2:39 am): ~I feel... I don't know. I think I should be sad, but I can't. I feel sorry for her, but that's... not enough.~ Sasha N. (2:39 am): follow! shylarah (2:40 am): L: ....why? why can't I remember -- what happened to me? I'm...I don't even really have a name! It never really bothered me before.... Sasha N. (2:40 am): F: folds his own arms You'll have to charm her yourself to get them. Frosty (2:41 am): F: I see where your true loyalties lie, Faust. Sasha N. (2:42 am): F: You do? Frosty (2:43 am): F: Mhm. Sasha N. (2:43 am): F: But it'd be wrong to give you your mom's car keys without her permission. innocently Frosty (2:44 am): F: Bah! Come to the dark side, Faust. We have better health coverage. Sasha N. (2:45 am): F: I guess I should look into that, since I'm staying here... glances out of the cafe, to the bullet-ridden lobby Frosty (2:46 am): F: ...Heh. looks at the lobby Those were Comanche. Electric rounds stop when they hit hard surfaces. Bauks (2:46 am): N: heads into the arcade Bauks (2:46 am): N: something Frosty and Faust can probably see Frosty (2:47 am): F: sees the two of them go through the lobby Frosty (2:47 am): F: Numl and Sasha just went into the arcade. Bauks (2:48 am): N: Hm, instead of an actual video game... want to play this first? air hockey table Silver (2:48 am): That's not true. You have a name. Even if you don't know who you were in the past... you know who you are now. You're Lani. whoever you were before... isn't you. At least not to me. Frosty (2:49 am): (wishes Sims 2 had air hockey) Sasha N. (2:49 am): F: Ah. ...Sasha? watches the two shylarah (2:49 am): ((....wishes /she/ had air hockey!)) Frosty (2:49 am): F: You haven't met? She's a regular customer of mine...she just moved here the other day. Sasha N. (2:49 am): looks at the table Air hockey...? Bauks (2:50 am): N: nods Have you played before? Sasha N. (2:50 am): (I've had many epic air hockey games in my time <3) Sasha N. (2:50 am): (If i ever had an arcade game, it'd be that) Sasha N. (2:51 am): shakes her head I've never done this kind of thing... Silver (2:51 am): [I know a friend who had an air hockey table once. Triple-Puck games = insanity] shylarah (2:51 am): L: ....r-right...Lani....tries to take a deep breath I'm -- I'm Lani. Sasha N. (2:51 am): looking around like she's never been in an arcade before shylarah (2:51 am): ((...I like the doubles tables...00 Frosty (2:51 am): F: She's really nice. earperk You'll like her. Sasha N. (2:52 am): F: Really? When did she get here? Frosty (2:52 am): F: The other day. nods I helped move her stuff in yesterday. Sasha N. (2:53 am): F: I guess I should meet her, then... Sasha N. (2:53 am): F: I've been reclusive lately. Frosty (2:54 am): F: ...Yeah. Are you alright? Bauks (2:55 am): N: Well, here. takes a few quarters from his pocket, and puts them in the coin chute for the table, which comes to life. Bauks* (2:55 am): * Sasha N. (2:55 am): F: Just been stressed over things that've happened, like I said...I'll be okay. Sasha N. (2:55 am): F: Getting better. Bauks (2:55 am): C: approach Frosty and Faust! Frosty (2:55 am): F: ...alright. smiles Frosty (2:55 am): F: Connie, help me convince Faust to turn to the dark side. Bauks (2:57 am): (Hmm, actually, there's the matter of Bits's knife that Contrast had been wanting to talk to him for a long time for) Sasha N. (2:57 am): (Indeed) Frosty (2:57 am): (And Frosty wants to talk to him about what he told Faust) Bauks (2:58 am): (o.o) Bauks (2:58 am): (hrmm) Sasha N. (2:58 am): F: looks at Contrast, just nodding, trying to act natural Bauks (2:58 am): (I'd want to do that with Faust now but that'd leave you with nothing) Sasha N. (2:58 am): blinks, watching the table Okay...what do I do, now? Frosty (2:58 am): (Frosty could talk to Contrast first, then go to the arcade?) Bauks (2:59 am): (Sure) Sasha N. (2:59 am): (I'm not in any hurry, those two could talk) Frosty (2:59 am): (Faust already knows so it's not like he can't be there :P) Bauks (3:00 am): N: gives her the... little handle thing that I don't know what it's really called, and puts the puck on the table Bauks (3:00 am): N: explains the rules of the game Frosty (3:00 am): (It's called a-...) Frosty (3:00 am): (...o_o) Bauks (3:00 am): C: is still a rabbit Silver (3:00 am): [Paddle.] Silver (3:00 am): [Like in pong!] Frosty (3:00 am): (Pancake) Bauks (3:01 am): (It's not at all like paddle) Frosty (3:01 am): (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/Air_Hockey_Mallet.jpg) Sasha N. (3:01 am): (I had to wiki it c_c) Frosty (3:02 am): (Oh hey my roommate is online) Frosty (3:02 am): (Temptation to make pancake jokes on unsuspecting victims rising again.) shylarah (3:02 am): ((cool?)) Sasha N. (3:02 am): (That's mean!) shylarah (3:02 am): ((...that's funny. do it!)) Frosty (3:02 am): (Nah) shylarah (3:03 am): ((win!!))) Silver (3:03 am): [Pancake Jokes are Serious Business. Use them wisely.] shylarah (3:03 am): ((...guffaw)) Frosty (3:03 am): (You would've said that no matter what I said. Either way, I'd rather not talk to him if I don't have anything more interesting than pancakes)) shylarah (3:04 am): ((...chalk one up for reverse psychology!)) Bauks (3:04 am): (Well have Frosty ask to talk to Contrast then) Frosty (3:04 am): (as I said, you would've said that either way) Frosty (3:04 am): (I did o_o) shylarah (3:04 am): ((...huh? wait, you don't think pancakes are.....nvm. puts foot firmly in her mouth)) Frosty (3:04 am): (...uh, apparently, no I didn't) Frosty (3:04 am): F: Hey, Contrast. Frosty (3:04 am): F: more seriously Bauks (3:05 am): C: Yeah? Sasha N. (3:05 am): Ah, I see... takes hold of her mallet I think I can do this. Frosty (3:06 am): F: If you were wondering where I was yesterday morning... shylarah (3:07 am): L: stops shaking, and realizes that Silver is hugging her ~umm....~ hugs back, a bit awkwardly Sasha N. (3:07 am): F: looks at Frosty Frosty (3:08 am): F: Mom and I took Numl past the edge of the city. Bauks (3:08 am): C: Ah... Bauks (3:08 am): N: slides the puck to her, slowly You go first... Frosty (3:09 am): F: He...wanted to let Trifecta out, so to speak. Bauks (3:09 am): C: What for? Frosty (3:09 am): (lolz) Bauks (3:09 am): C: ... frowns Sasha N. (3:09 am): holds the puck still, then lets go and lightly hits it with her mallet, enough to get it to his side Frosty (3:10 am): F: He said, it...hurt, feeling like his other side wasn't welcome hurt. Silver (3:12 am): Suddenly remembers this, as well. ~...AhhwhatamIdoing!~ steps back, looking down So, uh... t-that launguage, do you think you could teach me? shylarah (3:13 am): L: Pardon? Frosty (3:13 am): (grammer errer.) shylarah (3:14 am): L: ...you mean...lacari? Bauks (3:14 am): C: ... Bauks (3:15 am): C: Hard to imagine his other side really caring, it didn't seem... Sasha N. (3:15 am): F: It surprised me, too. You wouldn't think, after... Frosty (3:17 am): F: He does. Frosty (3:17 am): F: He...was almost scared of Dawn and I. Silver (3:17 am): Is that the name of it? nods [Should be going very soon.] Frosty (3:17 am): F: Scared that we would reject him. shylarah (3:17 am): ((alright.)) Silver (3:18 am): I've been meaning to learn another launguage, but never really thought about taking classes... shylarah (3:18 am): L: ....yeah, it is....It's very different from what is spoken here....you won't get much use out of it, though. shylarah (3:19 am): L: It's more or less a dead tongue, now....I suppose somewhere, there might be a community that still speaks it, but....other than that, it isn't used.... Bauks (3:19 am): C: ... man. shylarah (3:21 am): L: Anything intended to be read by others was usually written in elvish....But it is a beautiful language, especially written. smile Frosty (3:21 am): F: nods He was afraid we'd think he was just...some kind of beast, or something. To be honest, I sorta...expected exactly that...kinda. Bauks (3:21 am): C: Me too. Bauks (3:22 am): N: hits it back, a little faster! Bauks (3:22 am): N: and thus commences a game of air hockey Frosty (3:22 am): F: It's...not like that. shake head He just wants us to accept him...all of him. Frosty (3:22 am): F: But...he said something, when we were in the desert. Bauks (3:22 am): C: What? Frosty (3:23 am): F: He said he could sense that...that one of my parents was a demon. Frosty (3:23 am): F: ...and he's right. I don't know how, but I know he's right. Sasha N. (3:23 am): has quick reflexes, but hasn't really played before, so she mostly ends up defending instead of taking shots Bauks (3:23 am): C: blinks How...? Bauks (3:24 am): N: Numl, even though he's introduced her, hasn't really played much himself; once he gets the hang of it, she can probably beat him just due to said reflexes and being an adult Frosty (3:24 am): F: ...shrugs Silver (3:25 am): Whether it's used or not isn't all that important to me, but I'd like to learn it... if it's not too much trouble? Bauks (3:25 am): (er) Bauks (3:25 am): (Once SHE) Frosty* (3:25 am): F: I don't know. Frosty (3:26 am): F: But ever since then, I think I can..almost sorta feel Numl. Sasha N. (3:26 am): thus, probably ends up scoring points! She seems pretty happy Bauks (3:28 am): N: She does - Numl has the gift of experience and youth, however, and loses only by one point... Bauks (3:28 am): N: And he may have taken it easy on her Bauks (3:28 am): C: I want to meet Trifecta, then. Frosty (3:29 am): F: nods Sasha N. (3:29 am): looks up at the scoreboard I won, didn't I...? Sasha N. (3:29 am): F: I should see him, too... Frosty (3:29 am): F: ...yeah. shylarah (3:29 am): L: I could teach you a little, I suppose. It's....a bit fuzzy, actually. But I remember enough. And i don't think I'll have enough energy for sword practice until I finish with phasing that sword. I did some, but...well, I have to choose one or the other, for now. So sure. I'll teach you what I can. It's a fair trade. Bauks (3:30 am): N: Yeah. Just barely though! Silver (3:31 am): smiles, and nods [And yeah, I need to sleep now, or I'm going to die tomorrow at practice. 'night!] shylarah (3:31 am): ((g'night.. glomp)) Frosty (3:31 am): (Goodnight!) shylarah (3:31 am): ((I too shoulsd go)) shylarah (3:32 am): ((guests, and all...)) Frosty (3:32 am): F: I think...what Trifecta said about me, it explains why... ...what I told you about what happened at the cult's compound. Sasha N. (3:33 am): Oh, wow...! perks, tail wagging That was my first game! Bauks (3:33 am): C: Maybe. Bauks (3:33 am): N: Well try another. looks around, and spots DDR Do you like dancing? Bauks (3:34 am): C: ... don't feel it's not something you can work on, though. shylarah (3:35 am): ((night, guys.)) Frosty (3:35 am): F: ...I'm not sure it's something to work on at all. I mean...Trifecta didn't change anything. Just told me something that was already true. looks down at himself I'm still Frosty. Sasha N. (3:35 am): (G'night Shy) Frosty (3:35 am): (Bye) Sasha N. (3:36 am): I've danced in ballrooms before... looks at the DDR machine Is this different? Frosty (3:36 am): (...XD) Bauks (3:37 am): N: Um.. yeah. Heh. Bauks (3:37 am): N: walks over Well, see the arrows at the top of the screen? Sasha N. (3:38 am): follows, looking Yes...do you follow those? Sasha N. (3:39 am): F: That's right...you're no demon. Sasha N. (3:39 am): F: It changes nothing, like I said. Bauks (3:39 am): C: Huh... what constitutes a demon, anyways? Frosty (3:39 am): F: ...I dunno. Bauks (3:40 am): C: frowns What makes you different? I mean, there's your ice powers and your, well, temper, but... Bauks (3:40 am): C: shrugs Bauks (3:41 am): N: Yeah, when an arrow crosses one of those, you step on that panel. Sasha N. (3:41 am): (brb) Frosty (3:41 am): F: nods Sasha N. (3:41 am): (...great timing @ timeout) Frosty (3:42 am): F: There are other people with ice powers, I mean...they're probably not all demons. Sasha N. (3:42 am): (brb, drink) Frosty (3:42 am): (XD) Frosty (3:42 am): (Timeouts seem to lvoe brb for me for some reason) Frosty (3:44 am): F: I don't really know what to think of this. Frosty (3:52 am): (you there?) Sasha N. (3:53 am): F: It's not about how you were born...it's about what you do. Sasha N. (3:54 am): F: That's what makes you what you are. Frosty (3:54 am): F: ...nods Frosty (3:59 am): F: Thanks, Faust. Sasha N. (4:02 am): F: Sure. Bauks (4:05 am): (back) Bauks (4:05 am): (Sorry, went with Cindy, forgot to say so) Bauks (4:06 am): N: Try it. nods Bauks (4:07 am): N: I'm not very good at it... Bauks (4:07 am): N: My tails get in the way whenever I go for the back arrow. Sasha N. (4:07 am): Okay, then... steps up on the dance pad, digging through her purse to get quarters which she puts in Sasha N. (4:08 am): sets it down by the game, then looks at the screen Okay, what do I do now...? Frosty (4:10 am): F: I'm gonna go see what Numl and Sasha are up to. Bauks (4:10 am): N: explains how to pick a song Frosty (4:11 am): F: ~Maybe have dinner with her again tonight.~ smiles Bauks (4:11 am): C: nods Don't let this get you down. Bauks (4:11 am): C: You're not worse off, because this, just... different. Frosty (4:11 am): F: Yeah, I know. Thanks. Bauks (4:11 am): C: nods Take care. Sasha N. (4:11 am): picks a slower, more formal-sounding song, and presumably an easier difficulty when Numl shows her Frosty (4:12 am): F: stands, heading off. He almost announces his presence, but decides to just approach Numl from behind and see if he seems to notice... Sasha N. (4:13 am): and when the arrows start going up, she misses a few, but then starts hitting arrows shortly...though, she's doing it by awkwardly stepping around the platform instead of actually making dance motions Bauks (4:13 am): (Hmm, should he...) Sasha N. (4:13 am): F: waves to Frosty, as he goes Frosty (4:13 am): (I can haz Arizona quarter flip) Frosty (4:14 am): (Yes.) Bauks (4:14 am): N: Don't put your feet back in the middle! Bauks (4:15 am): N: didn't hear Frosty... but he looks at him, all the same, feeling him there Bauks (4:15 am): C: Faust? Frosty (4:15 am): F: Hey, you two. Sasha N. (4:15 am): F: Yes...? awkwardly...he seems to know what might be coming Bauks (4:16 am): C: I still have that knife. Sasha N. (4:16 am): Ah...! waves to Frosty, awkwardly, as she tries to improve Sasha N. (4:16 am): F: ...I should have told you. Sasha N. (4:16 am): F: I'm sorry. bites his lip Bauks (4:16 am): C: Yeah. Frosty (4:17 am): F: ...smirk Bauks (4:17 am): C: What do you want me to do, now? Sasha N. (4:18 am): F: ...you should give it to her, say you found it. Bauks (4:19 am): N: Keep going. watches Sasha N. (4:22 am): I'm trying...! having fun, even if she isn't the best at it, she's getting better though as she quits putting her feet in the middle as much Bauks (4:24 am): N: There you go, you're gonna pass the song... Bauks (4:26 am): C: Alright, I will. Frosty (4:26 am): F: I was never too good at this game, but I can usually hold my own. Sasha N. (4:26 am): manages to pass it! Granted it was on easy and she's panting, but she did it Bauks (4:26 am): C: sigh Bauks (4:26 am): N: Like I told her, my tails usually get in the way... Frosty (4:27 am): F: pokes one of Numl's tails Bauks (4:28 am): N: bats Frosty's hand Sasha N. (4:29 am): her tail's wagging and bumping that bar, but she doesn't seem to mind I did it! excited Frosty (4:29 am): F: pokes another tail! Frosty (4:29 am): F: Good, Sasha! Sasha N. (4:29 am): turns to them, happily Frosty (4:29 am): F: smiles at her Sasha N. (4:29 am): F: ...it's okay, isn't it? I mean...well, no it isn't, but... sigh Bauks (4:32 am): N: batted him again Frosty (4:32 am): F: bats his hand back, with a smirk Bauks (4:32 am): N: Don't poke my tails. crosses his arms Bauks (4:32 am): (I have decided Numl is the new SX) Frosty (4:33 am): (bat) Frosty (4:33 am): (throw item) Bauks (4:33 am): N: Just because they're huge doesn't mean you can poke them whenever you want. Frosty (4:33 am): (fold arms) Frosty (4:34 am): F: Why not? Frosty (4:35 am): F: They're all fuzzy and big and...poke Bauks (4:35 am): N: bat again Sasha N. (4:36 am): laughs Frosty, that's rude! Frosty (4:38 am): F: It's a compliment! Frosty (4:38 am): F: I like his tails. Frosty (4:38 am): F: He keeps hitting me. That's rude. Sasha N. (4:41 am): You shouldn't poke someone's tails when they would prefer you not do so. cross arms Bauks (4:41 am): C: I don't know. Bauks (4:41 am): N: Aww. Bauks (4:41 am): C: Just... Bauks (4:41 am): C: sigh Frosty (4:43 am): F: Fiine. Sasha N. (4:44 am): Good, Frosty. nods Sasha N. (4:44 am): F: ...I just don't know what to say. Sasha N. (4:44 am): F: looks down I just don't. Frosty (4:47 am): F: Hmm. looks around Frosty (4:47 am): F: Oh, hey, Numl. Frosty (4:47 am): F: While you're in here... Bauks (4:47 am): N: ? Frosty (4:48 am): F: points at the photo booth Bauks (4:48 am): C: You should give it to her yourself. Frosty (4:48 am): F: We don't really have any good pictures. nod Bauks (4:48 am): N: You want a picture with me? Frosty (4:48 am): F: nod! Sasha N. (4:48 am): F: Just...tell her I found it, hm? Frosty (4:49 am): F: Other than that one picture of my parents, I don't really have anything...personal posted in my room yet. Bauks (4:49 am): C: Yeah. Bauks (4:50 am): C: There's no point in telling her what was done with it, but it'll ease you a little to do it yourself. Bauks (4:50 am): C: It might be hard to do, but you'll feel better for it. Sasha N. (4:51 am): F: ...maybe it will. Sasha N. (4:51 am): looks at the photo booth Frosty (4:51 am): F: You too, Sasha. nod Sasha N. (4:52 am): smiles I've never used one... Frosty (4:52 am): (BRB, bathroom) Bauks (4:58 am): N: hurries in Sasha N. (4:58 am): (test) Sasha N. (4:58 am): follows Numl in Frosty (4:59 am): (Back, sorry) Bauks (5:00 am): N: pretty much has to push his tails all up against one side to make room for all three of them Frosty (5:00 am): F: sits by them, smiling and feeding a dollar or five into the machine. Sasha N. (5:01 am): sits in the machine awkwardly, trying to look proper as she looks forward at the screen Frosty (5:02 am): F: Lessee...we'll print out several copies. nods, selecting, before leaning back and smiling Bauks (5:03 am): N: smirks, and readies a and to put bunny ears behind Sasha's head right before the picture is taken Frosty (5:03 am): F: laughs, as the machine shows back the first picture Numl! Sasha N. (5:04 am): ...Numl! starts laughing Frosty (5:05 am): F: presses the touchscreen, readying a second picture Frosty (5:05 am): F: leans back, and right before the photo is taken, he puts an arm around both of their shoulders. A cold* snowfox arm.* Frosty (5:05 am): (...it's not THAT cold Oo) Sasha N. (5:06 am): (ARGH fsdofsf9sharulikawgh) Bauks (5:06 am): (You killed her with frostbite.) Sasha N. (5:06 am): You aren't supposed to do that when someone's having their portrait taken! laughing, she tries to smile again... Sasha N. (5:06 am): then jumps at Frosty's hand @@ Bauks (5:08 am): N: squirm! Frosty (5:08 am): Photo: taken! Sasha N. (5:09 am): You stop that! laughing quite hard Frosty (5:09 am): F: starts laughing again at the photo shylarah (5:10 am): ((I'm back.....)) shylarah (5:10 am): ((I pulled a Cally.)) shylarah (5:10 am): ((sleep=Fail)) Frosty (5:10 am): (?) Frosty (5:10 am): (oh lolz) shylarah (5:11 am): ((anyhow)) shylarah (5:11 am): ((where'd Eve go?)) Frosty (5:12 am): E: still in the lobby, just being quiet now shylarah (5:12 am): B: enters the lobby, without Sparks. Her hair is ever-so-slightly damp -- she was probably in the pool not too long ago shylarah (5:13 am): B: makes her way over to Eve Frosty (5:13 am): E: looks up at Bits, smiles slightly Frosty (5:13 am): F: he quickly takes another photo while they're all laughing, too! shylarah (5:13 am): B: smiles, but looks worried Bauks (5:14 am): N: He took another one. point at screen shylarah (5:14 am): B: wants to know what's wrong. Eve's being quiet, even for Eve Sasha N. (5:14 am): this just makes her laugh harder, if that's possible This is so wrong...! Frosty (5:14 am): E: Shrug ... shylarah (5:15 am): B: sits next to Eve Frosty (5:15 am): F: I don't believe in posing for photos, Sasha. pokes her shoulder I like seeing how my friends really are, not how they can stop and look at a camera. shylarah (5:15 am): B: folds arms and frowns just a tiny bit (she isn't sure she buys it) Frosty (5:16 am): E: just looks down at herself. She's just recovering. Sasha N. (5:16 am): tries to stop laughing I see, it's just that, I've always been taught that it's proper to pose carefully and smile... Bauks (5:16 am): N: Boooriiing. shylarah (5:17 am): B: ....sighs. there's just been /so/ much going on lately Frosty (5:17 am): F: laughs I know, I know. But like I said, this is a photo of friends together. I want to remember us as we were today. nod Frosty (5:17 am): F: We can pose for the last one, Numl. Bauks (5:18 am): N: Alright~. joke-exasperation Sasha N.

Faust is a close friend too. If you ever gave it to me, I'd ask them to keep me in check, since they wouldn't be the ones being tempted... shylarah (6:12 am): Sk: ....well, I guess that means I don't have to look at these any more. puts the paper back Frosty (6:12 am): E: bites her lip Frosty (6:12 am): E: shake head M-maybe s-some other time...I don't know you guys too well. looks down Bauks (6:13 am): C: ... did I do it there, on accident?

Bauks (7:02 am): C: ... did your parents take advantage of you with that crystal, too? Frosty (7:03 am): E: nods ... Bauks (7:03 am): C: ... what happened, after that? Frosty (7:04 am): E: He took the crystal from daddy's safe, and got me to say what it was, so he didn't kill me too. looks down Bauks (7:05 am): C: Did he take you, after that? Frosty (7:05 am): E: nod Frosty (7:08 am): E: He said I'd be good at smuggling drugs and stuff, because police wouldn't suspect someone like me. looking down, speaking sadly, but evenly Bauks (7:09 am): C: How long were you with him...? Frosty (7:09 am): E: A few years... Frosty (7:10 am): E: That's all I did when I was younger, and when I was older, ...

Frosty (7:18 am): E: H-he was drunk, o-one night, after another year I think...h-he was yelling at the phone, and w-when I brought him another b-beer, he yelled at me and threw it at me and told me he didn't want me anymore... Frosty (7:19 am): (threw the crystal, not the beer) Bauks (7:19 am): C: ... I'm sorry. frowns Did you come here after that?

Bauks (7:21 am): C: What all happened between there and the hotel? Frosty (7:22 am): E: I usually just lived in an alley or u-under the highway bridge... Bauks (7:23 am): C: ... how long did that go on? Frosty (7:24 am): E: until they started building the hotel. looks down they built a small shack, j-just until the building was finished, so the builders would have shade...there was nothing worth stealing in it so they didn't lock it, so I slept in there most nights and left before they would show in the morning. Frosty (7:25 am): E: I got stuff from the neighborhood that way. pointing toward a poor district they don't usually have alarms there so I could go in and shower or get food... Bauks (7:26 am): C: ~I'm on over my head. I thought I had it hard getting kicked out over my powers...~ Bauks (7:27 am): C: Staying here must be a pretty good step up, then... Frosty (7:27 am): E: nod they had pamphlets on the hotel's design in the shack, and I read them when I couldn't sleep, and one said the gov...vernment was paying for certain residents... Bauks (7:28 am): C: So you stuck around until it was done? Frosty (7:29 am): E: nod the shack was b-better than where I was before.. Frosty (7:30 am): E: barely avoiding not crying by now Bauks (7:30 am): C: looks at her ~She's talked enough about this.~ Bauks (7:31 am): C: Hey... moves from acrossed the table they're sitting at to beside her, putting an arm around her Frosty (7:31 am): E: buries her face in his shoulder, crying ...

Tergonaut (10:28 pm): (and Eve!) shylarah (10:28 pm): ((....Commie wasn't chasing Eve's skirts.)) shylarah (10:28 pm): ((>.>)) shylarah (10:28 pm): ((...gah))) Sasha N. (10:28 pm): IC shylarah (10:28 pm): L: focusing on the sword. She's putting out a good bit of energy Frosty (10:29 pm): (Eve's not gonna be pulling that stunt again anytime soon. XD) shylarah (10:29 pm): ((....hehe)) Frosty (10:29 pm): F: in the cafe, already finished with his breakfast Huh. shylarah (10:29 pm): ((Bits wouldn't have done it without Eve there.)) Frosty (10:29 pm): E: walks into the atrium, holding a bagel shylarah (10:30 pm): L: sitting by the tree shylarah (10:30 pm): L .....about a foot off the ground shylarah (10:30 pm): Bits: eating alone Frosty (10:30 pm): E: looks at the sword curiously Sasha N. (10:32 pm): was going to have breakfast with Smoky, but is not there, oddly shylarah (10:32 pm): sword: unsheathed, floating gently above Lani's lap, but below her hands shylarah (10:32 pm): ((....Frosty, you mean?)) Sasha N. (10:32 pm): (...yes) Frosty (10:34 pm): F: looks around Sasha said she wanted to have breakfast with us... shylarah (10:34 pm): L: has her eyes half shut probably doesn't notice Eve Frosty (10:34 pm): E: ..Lani? shylarah (10:35 pm): L: opens her eyes and looks down Hm? Oh, hi, Eve. grabs the sword and puts it in the sheath, and returns to something a bit closer to ground level ...Did you want something? Frosty (10:35 pm): E: Why do you have a sword? shylarah (10:36 pm): L: ....because I'm sick of feeling useless. Next time someone's in danger, I'm going to be able to actually /do/ something. Sasha N. (10:36 pm): (Box'll be here in a sec) shylarah (10:37 pm): (....glomp!)) shylarah (10:37 pm): ((Siv!!)) shylarah (10:37 pm): ((^.^)) shylarah (10:37 pm): ((shake; throw at Yim!)) Frosty (10:38 pm): E: Oh...I didn't know people fight with swords, I thought that was only from...um, a long time ago... Silver (10:38 pm): [Yeah, I'm here, though not sure if I'll be Rping until later, doing AP homework in the backround ATM] shylarah (10:38 pm): ((...it's okay. good luck with the hw.)) shylarah (10:38 pm): ((how wa practice?)) Silver (10:39 pm): ["Need Caffine"-inducing] Frosty (10:39 pm): (XD) shylarah (10:39 pm): L: ...well, there are still people who use them. Many just for show, but....a sword feels...I don't quite know how to explain it, but holding a sword feels /right/. Sasha N. (10:39 pm): her door's opened slightly, whenever Frosty or whoever goes to check Frosty (10:39 pm): F: heads toward the elevator Frosty (10:40 pm): F: and yeah, heads to the fifth floor and Sasha's room Frosty (10:41 pm): F: ...? Frosty (10:41 pm): E: Oh... Frosty (10:41 pm): F: pushes the door open, gently Sasha? quiet Sasha N. (10:42 pm): asleep on her bed, in there... shylarah (10:42 pm): L: wry grin it's....strange, I know....I don't really get it myself, but there you have it.... tries to find another topic That's a nice necklace you have, Eve. Frosty (10:43 pm): E: Oh, uh...thanks... Sasha N. (10:43 pm): one of the framed pictured from yesterday is lying beside her, and she's fallen asleep in a random spot on the bed; the fur under her eyes is mussed up like she's been crying Frosty (10:43 pm): F: ... Frosty (10:43 pm): F: looks at the picture shylarah (10:44 pm): L: blinks, and tilts her head ...Would you mind if I had a closer look at it? Bauks (10:44 pm): (Okay, here.) Bauks (10:44 pm): (Let's see...) shylarah (10:44 pm): ((hey.)) Frosty (10:44 pm): E: Um...I don't want to take it off... Frosty (10:44 pm): E: You can look at it. looks down at the necklace Sasha N. (10:44 pm): Picture: is that first one where she was laughing shylarah (10:45 pm): L: you don't have to. reaches out a hand and gently lifts the neckace slightly by the chain, examining the crystal Tergonaut (10:45 pm): (hmm oo) Frosty (10:46 pm): F: ...~She's a mess, she looks like she's been crying...maybe I should leave. Whatever's bugging her, if she wants to...~ Frosty (10:46 pm): F: ...~No, I can't leave her like this.~ shylarah (10:47 pm): L: ...very strange....quietly Bauks (10:47 pm): (Hmm, what to do) Bauks (10:47 pm): N: seeking out... Dio Frosty (10:47 pm): E: Uh... shylarah (10:47 pm): ((....come talk to Lani after Eve goes. heh.)) Frosty (10:47 pm): E: ~Don't...><~ shylarah (10:48 pm): L: blink at Eve ....That's quite a spell on this thing. Frosty (10:48 pm): E: nods, timidly It's magic... Frosty (10:49 pm): F: ...Sasha? shylarah (10:49 pm): L: I can tell. But the structure is...unusual. I've seen its like....only a couple times, but I can't remember where.... Frosty (10:49 pm): F: sets the frame on a convenient dresser or nightstand, shaking her shoulder gently Frosty (10:49 pm): E: Uh-huh... Sasha N. (10:49 pm): stirs ... Frosty (10:50 pm): E: ~She's seen...something like it before? Hopefully she doesn't ask..~ Frosty (10:50 pm): F: Sasha, it's me. Dio Cheysa (10:50 pm): in the pool! Dio Cheysa (10:50 pm): swimming shylarah (10:50 pm): L: Might I ask what it does? Frosty (10:50 pm): E: >< Bauks (10:50 pm): N: and thus that's where he ends up Sasha N. (10:50 pm): Frosty...ah! looks startled shylarah (10:50 pm): ((....the question is actually if she is allowed to ask, not "what does it do")) Bauks (10:50 pm): N: He stands on the edge of the pool, looking down Frosty (10:50 pm): (It works off of interpretation.) Frosty (10:51 pm): (Most people would interpret "Might I ask _____" as asking that question.) shylarah (10:51 pm): L: ...Eve? Frosty (10:51 pm): E: Wh-whoever holds it, I have to do whatever they say. looking like she really doesn't want to say it shylarah (10:52 pm): L: drops it immediately Oh! oh, I'm sorry! looks ashamed I didn't know.. Frosty (10:52 pm): E: nods, stepping away as soon as she lets it go Frosty (10:53 pm): F: It's alright, it's me. Frosty (10:53 pm): F: ...Are you alright? Sasha N. (10:53 pm): Y-you just startled me... sits up shylarah (10:53 pm): L: ....I won't tell anyone, I promise. I didn't mean to force you to do anything.... Sasha N. (10:53 pm): looks around on the bed, looking for the picture apparently ... Frosty (10:53 pm): F: Sorry. Frosty (10:53 pm): E: nods, looking down Frosty (10:54 pm): F: After a second, just points at where he set it down Sasha N. (10:54 pm): looks at where he's pointing, then looks down at the ground shylarah (10:55 pm): L: ...Hey, Eve, I wouldn't let someone hurt you if I could help it. That's why I have the sword -- so I have something more than just illusion to use against any kind of threat. I -- I would like to think of you as a friend.... Frosty (10:56 pm): E: Uh-huh... Frosty (10:56 pm): F: ...is everything alright? Frosty (10:57 pm): F: Sorry. Your door was open and I...glances at the door Bauks (10:57 pm): N: calls out Diooo? Bauks (10:58 pm): N: Hey! Sasha N. (10:58 pm): I-I went for a walk and I must've forgot to close it all the way... Sasha N. (10:58 pm): bites her lip Frosty (10:58 pm): F: It's alright. I'll leave if you want me to. Dio Cheysa (10:59 pm): pops out of the water, gracefully leaping up like a porpoise Sasha N. (10:59 pm): No, you don't have to leave, Frosty... Frosty (11:00 pm): E: S-sorry, I did-dn't want to say it when you grabbed it... shylarah (11:01 pm): L: Listen, anyone....anyone that wants that necklace -- they'll have to go through me. It's the least I can do, after....looks embarrassed Since other people don't know how important it is.... Bauks (11:01 pm): N: has his sword with him, suspended on his back Hey... Sasha N. (11:01 pm): I just...started thinking about things, yesterday, and I guess I fell asleep like this... Frosty (11:02 pm): F: ...is it anything you want to talk about? Dio Cheysa (11:02 pm): and lands on the edge of the pool, dripping Yes? Bauks (11:02 pm): N: straightens up a little ... Frosty (11:02 pm): E: nods ...c-contrast and frosty and numl and faust know... Bauks (11:02 pm): N: I have this... sword, knife, thing... Frosty (11:02 pm): E: Noone else does. shake head Bauks (11:02 pm): N: And, I can lift it easily, but... Bauks (11:03 pm): N: trails off, slumping his shoulders a little Sasha N. (11:03 pm): You wouldn't mind, would you...? Sasha N. (11:03 pm): glances off, her eyes landing on a clock ...oh! Sasha N. (11:03 pm): I missed breakfast, I promised I would eat with you... shylarah (11:03 pm): L: ....alright. Then we'll keep it that way. And....I can sometimes get at people when they...can't....~like when Numl was over that pit....~ Frosty (11:03 pm): F: nods It's alright. I just wanted to make sure you were alright. Sasha N. (11:04 pm): looks more upset I'm sorry... Dio Cheysa (11:04 pm): But what? You can lift it, you can use it, neh? Frosty (11:05 pm): F: Hey. puts a hand on her shoulder It's okay. Bauks (11:05 pm): N: I... don't know anything about fighting,. Dio Cheysa (11:06 pm): Ah - you need training in martial arts? Sasha N. (11:06 pm): relaxes, at his touch ...could we go somewhere? Bauks (11:06 pm): N: I guess...? Frosty (11:07 pm): F: nods Where do you want to go? shylarah (11:08 pm): L: ...I should probably leave you alone.....I'm really sorry....embarrassed Dio Cheysa (11:08 pm): Martial arts - the arts of war, fighting... Frosty (11:09 pm): E: It's okay...bites her lip I didn't know you could... shylarah (11:09 pm): L: ...could what? Sasha N. (11:09 pm): Could we go drive somewhere? Frosty (11:09 pm): F: Sure, alright. nods Frosty (11:10 pm): F: Your car? Bauks (11:11 pm): N: It's not just that, I... Sasha N. (11:11 pm): Okay...would you like to drive it? Frosty (11:12 pm): F: If you want me to. nods Dio Cheysa (11:13 pm): Hmm? Dio Cheysa (11:13 pm): What is concern? Bauks (11:13 pm): N: I'm not a brave person. Sasha N. (11:14 pm): If you don't mind... starts to head out of the room Frosty (11:14 pm): F: nods, following. Presumably also acquriing the keys to her car. Frosty (11:14 pm): (test) Frosty (11:14 pm): (cable froze o.o) shylarah (11:14 pm): L: ....touch things? I'm not actually a ghost, only like a ghost. I can touch things if I want to.... Frosty (11:14 pm): E: nods, faintly ... Frosty (11:16 pm): (Is anyone in the lobby or cafe?) Sasha N. (11:17 pm): heads out to her car, getting in the passenger seat Frosty (11:17 pm): E: S-sorry, I'm not mad, it's just kind of startling. looks at the crystal again, before slipping it under her shirt Dio Cheysa (11:18 pm): Pfah, bravery. Dio Cheysa (11:19 pm): You are brave for wanting to come talk to ME! Frosty (11:19 pm): ("What is concern?" <- seems oddly appropriate for someone as agggressive in combat as Dio) shylarah (11:20 pm): L: ...yeah I guess it would be. weak smile Frosty (11:20 pm): (guessing that's a no) Frosty (11:21 pm): F: driver's seat. He pulls the car out of hte parking lot, turning in a random direction shylarah (11:21 pm): ((...bits.)) shylarah (11:21 pm): ((Bits is.)) shylarah (11:21 pm): ((in the cafe. But she'll ignore it if she needs to)) Frosty (11:21 pm): (Hm...Frosty would've asked someone to tell Connie and/or Numl if they showed up that Frosty'd be late to work. Bits wouldn't work for that :P) shylarah (11:22 pm): ((....heh.)) Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): Cobalt: however, SHE works! Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): Cobalt: since she has her own reasons to see Connie Frosty (11:22 pm): F: said that to Cobalt then! Dio Cheysa (11:22 pm): Cobalt: as much as she can! shylarah (11:23 pm): ((...giggle)) Frosty (11:23 pm): F: ...is there anything you want to talk about, Sasha? It's alright if you don't/ Sasha N. (11:23 pm): I... Sasha N. (11:23 pm): Y-yesterday, I'd never done that sort of thing. quivery Dio Cheysa (11:24 pm): (so would Cobalt have gone ahead to th store to make sure? oo) Frosty (11:24 pm): (No o.o) Dio Cheysa (11:24 pm): (would have just told them?) Frosty (11:24 pm): (Frosty'd just said to tell them that if she sees them cross through hte lobby) Dio Cheysa (11:25 pm): (Cobalt probably went ahead and told Numl already then, and then she saved Contrast for last so she could pester him ;P) Frosty (11:25 pm): ('kay) Frosty (11:25 pm): F: ...I see. Sasha N. (11:26 pm): And it...it was so much fun. shylarah (11:26 pm): L: ...I should leave you alone for a bit. I really didn't mean to do anything like that....phases out and vanishes, leaving the sword behind, feeling ashamed Frosty (11:27 pm): E: Wait, umm... ...sighs shylarah (11:27 pm): L: reappears ...yeah....? hasn't had time to move all that far Bauks (11:28 pm): N: Well, you're... Frosty (11:28 pm): E: ...nevermind. Bauks (11:28 pm): N: Strong. And you're on our side. Frosty (11:29 pm): F: ...I'm glad you had a good time, Sasha. shylarah (11:30 pm): L: ....okay. I'll...see you later, then...vanishes again Sasha N. (11:30 pm): nods ... Sasha N. (11:30 pm): You shouldn't worry about this. I just do it sometimes. shylarah (11:31 pm): L: ~actually, thinking f Numl...I wonder if he ever got that thing with Trifecta sorted out....~ Frosty (11:31 pm): F: ~You cry yourself to sleep sometimes, that's...something to worry about.~ ... Frosty (11:31 pm): F: I don't want you or any of my friends to be unhappy. Dio Cheysa (11:33 pm): Strength is not courage. Sasha N. (11:33 pm): I'm not unhappy...I just think about older days sometimes, and it... hesitate shylarah (11:33 pm): L: considers seeking out Numl, but decides against it. Instead, (ironically) she decides to find Dio Sasha N. (11:34 pm): (Coincidentally) shylarah (11:35 pm): ((....no, actually. She knows Dio's been....sorta heading things with the Faceless, or at least considering herself in charge of the defences, and now that she can fight......)) Frosty (11:35 pm): (Shake) shylarah (11:35 pm): ((.....I am serious! I was going to have her do it after numl showed, but Eve showed instead.)) Frosty (11:35 pm): (SHAKE) shylarah (11:36 pm): ((What?!) Bauks (11:36 pm): (Woooosh) shylarah (11:36 pm): ((..seriously, I have it written down....)) Bauks (11:36 pm): N: Well, yeah, but... Frosty (11:36 pm): (Indeed, Box) shylarah (11:37 pm): L: shows up in the pool area, not wanting to get too near the water after the unpleasantness last time Dio? Sasha N. (11:37 pm): (. . .) Dio Cheysa (11:37 pm): (I think they are hinting that they want Numl and Dio to have some alone time, Shy) Dio Cheysa (11:37 pm): (^~) shylarah (11:38 pm): ((...oh. okay.)) Bauks (11:38 pm): (... no!) Dio Cheysa (11:38 pm): (Numl: So...ever had pancakes before?) shylarah (11:38 pm): (....what?)) shylarah (11:38 pm): ((....GAAAAH!))) Dio Cheysa (11:38 pm): (Dio: Yes...with fish in them) Sasha N. (11:38 pm): (No pancakes!) shylarah (11:38 pm): ((.....EW!!)) Dio Cheysa (11:38 pm): (was it just a "coincidentally" as a correction to her "ironically"?) Frosty (11:38 pm): (I suspected that having pancakes with Dio would be kind of fishy. @o) shylarah (11:39 pm): ((.....ouch!)) shylarah (11:39 pm): ((it's ironic from my perspective. what is it, situational irony, where the audience knows something the character doesn't?)) Sasha N. (11:39 pm): (Also back, went to get a sammich) Sasha N. (11:40 pm): (Heard Box laughing downstairs, wondered what it was...now I know) Dio Cheysa (11:40 pm): But what? lashes her sharky tail a bit Bauks (11:42 pm): N: You came all the way from space, by yourself, with nothing but your body and that halberd to fight the faceless. Sasha N. (11:42 pm): It gets me upset. looks at the car floor Bauks (11:42 pm): N: You -are- brave. shylarah (11:43 pm): ((anyhow. ....is it okay if she shows up?) Dio Cheysa (11:44 pm): (I guess so, if that's not what was meant by all that stuff earlier oo) Bauks (11:44 pm): (Sure) Dio Cheysa (11:45 pm): It was all I had left...I had no choice but to come here. The few others of my kind, they...have gone to other worlds, to hunt the Faceless elsewhere. It is the pact we made before we left our world. shylarah (11:45 pm): ((....you were laughing at me?! mock pout)) shylarah (11:46 pm): L: appeared and called Dio's name Silver (11:46 pm): [I think it was more at the fish pancakes. Also, not quite back yet, just checked in and saw the convo. I lol'd] Bauks (11:47 pm): N: earperk, look at Lani Frosty (11:47 pm): F: ...rough past? Frosty (11:47 pm): (I lolz'd.) shylarah (11:47 pm): ((....hehe)) Sasha N. (11:47 pm): No, it wasn't rough, it was... Dio Cheysa (11:48 pm): looks over Eh? Dio Cheysa (11:48 pm): More trainees? shylarah (11:49 pm): L: Oh, there you....sees Numl, and hesitates Sasha N. (11:49 pm): I was so sheltered. quiet Frosty (11:50 pm): F: nods ... shylarah (11:50 pm): L: ....If now's a bad time, I can wait... Callisto (11:50 pm): (...I'm midway through the season in this game and just realized I accidentally put myself in control of two teams and not one D: ) shylarah (11:51 pm): ((....there is a running joke in H otel!)) shylarah (11:51 pm): ((a few!) shylarah (11:51 pm): ((....catty's bread...stuff....)) shylarah (11:51 pm): ((Dio's fish food.)) shylarah (11:51 pm): (("Bartender!!")) Frosty (11:51 pm): (shake again) shylarah (11:51 pm): ((and it is really like Hotel CA. ^.^)) shylarah (11:51 pm): ((Bat!)) Dio Cheysa (11:52 pm): (ah, the shaking is to help Shy stop going on in OOC :P I got it now) Frosty (11:52 pm): F: I'm sorry. glances at her Dio Cheysa (11:52 pm): Now is always good time to teach young persons to fight! Sasha N. (11:52 pm): I've never been allowed to do those sorts of things, a-and when we did yesterday, I started thinking about that, a-and... trembles Frosty (11:52 pm): (And the whoosh was the sound that the point of my shaking her made as it flew over Shy's head. >_> ) shylarah (11:53 pm): L: Actually....I have a feeling that I already know how to fight....I just haven't had the means.... currently looks more like twenty, as opposed to numl's age shylarah (11:54 pm): ((aaaaah.)) Bauks (11:55 pm): N: 14 Bauks* (11:55 pm): * Dio Cheysa (11:56 pm): (aaah) Dio Cheysa (11:56 pm): (Lani is gonna be a cradle robber!) shylarah (11:57 pm): (....Dio! when she talked to Numl the first time, she was (apparently) Numl's age.)) Frosty (11:57 pm): F: You're...your own person now, Sasha. You do whatever makes you happy, okay? Frosty (11:58 pm): F: If you ever want to spend time with me, I'm always around. smiles Numl, too. I told you he was a good kid. Sasha N. (11:58 pm): Y-yest, I want to, but... shylarah (11:58 pm): L: I just need to practice...and I think I might have that covered. I -- I wanted to let you know, though. That as soon as I finish getting the sword ready, I'm in. says the last firmly Sasha N. (11:59 pm): I've always been taught to be proper a-and ladylike, and it's h-hard to not do that... Frosty (11:59 pm): F: You can enjoy yourself and still be a lady, Sasha. Dio Cheysa (12:00 am): ...Why do you look older than you did before? shylarah (12:00 am): L: ....huh? Sasha N. (12:01 am): looks up at Frosty, wiping her slightly watery eyes Sasha N. (12:01 am): Y-you're right, aren't you... Frosty (12:02 am): F: pulls over, in a parking lot by the park, so he can look at her without running into something nods Dio Cheysa (12:02 am): You look several years older than Numl...before you were same age as him. What the fish?! shylarah (12:02 am): L: ...I don't know? clueless Sasha N. (12:03 am): looks around, to see where they are Sasha N. (12:03 am): I just think about that sometimes, and it...gets me a little sad. Dio Cheysa (12:04 am): (^^) Mew (12:04 am): (mew^^ ) Frosty (12:05 am): F: nods ... shylarah (12:05 am): ((glomp)) Sasha N. (12:05 am): ... reaches over, to hug him Mew (12:05 am): (teleports into chat with a little flip and -- glomped!* mew n.n ) shylarah (12:06 am): ((^.^)) Dio Cheysa (12:06 am): Meanwhile, I am suddenly not caring about appearance. Frosty (12:06 am): F: hugged. He hugs her back, patting her back Dio Cheysa (12:06 am): Because if you are able to fight, then who cares what you look like? shylarah (12:06 am): L: ....okay... Callisto (12:06 am): (Sitrep?) Dio Cheysa (12:06 am): Boys better watch out when you can chop head off, neh?! Sasha N. (12:06 am): Thank you, Frosty... stays there, a few moments Bauks (12:06 am): N: o__o Frosty (12:07 am): (Sasha and Frosty went out for a drive to talk, Numl, Dio, and Lani are by the pool) shylarah (12:07 am): ((Bits's alone in the cafe)) shylarah (12:07 am): L: .... Frosty (12:07 am): (No she isn't. Eve just walked into the cafe! You just didn't see it because I'm stealthy like that.) Frosty (12:08 am): E: is, indeed, there, looking at the leftover food shylarah (12:08 am): ((....that's fine.)) Dio Cheysa (12:08 am): guttural sharky laugh as she slaps Numl on the shoulder Well, better get you trained so as to stand chance, neh? shylarah (12:08 am): L: ....so -- you don't care that....that I'm like a ghost? Frosty (12:09 am): E: I've never had pancakes before...looking at one shylarah (12:09 am): ((....x.x)) Callisto (12:09 am): walk into the cafe shylarah (12:09 am): ((pokes Cally's pants)) Frosty (12:10 am): E: puts one on a plate, with some syrup, and sits near Bits, smiling at her Frosty (12:10 am): F: nods Callisto (12:10 am): (...) shylarah (12:10 am): B: .....unsteady smile Mew (12:10 am): (hello/weba@Comanche ) Sasha N. (12:12 am): lets go, seeming in better spirits Frosty (12:12 am): F: smiles at her Feeling better? Comanche (12:12 am): glances at them and sits a few tables over, still apparently annoyed over yesterday shylarah (12:13 am): Bits: wilts a bit Frosty (12:13 am): E: Bites her lip, tensing when she sees Comanche Sasha N. (12:13 am): nods Frosty (12:14 am): F: Good...do you want to go anywhere, or go back home? Comanche (12:16 am): Eats, then leaves the cafe for the pool without saying a word to either Sasha N. (12:17 am): We should go back home. shylarah (12:17 am): B: look at Eve, and shrug Sasha N. (12:17 am): ~Home.~ smiles a little Dio Cheysa (12:17 am): Ghost, schmost - I am sure if you want, you can put moves on Numl as good as any girl! Comanche (12:18 am): walk into the pool area Hey there... shylarah (12:18 am): L: .....I don't know that phrase. I could teach him some about fighting, yes... Bauks (12:18 am): N: blinks Frosty (12:18 am): F: nods Alright. Bauks (12:18 am): N: lost Frosty (12:18 am): F: If you ever get...overwhelmed, down...I'm two floors below you, alright? Sasha N. (12:20 am): nods I'll come see you... Frosty (12:20 am): F: Thanks. smiles, turning the car back on Comanche (12:21 am): What are you and Numl up to Dio? Dio Cheysa (12:23 am): It appears to be "everyone come bother the shark girl" day. Dio Cheysa (12:23 am): Neh? Frosty (12:24 am): E: shrug ... Frosty (12:24 am): E: looks down Comanche (12:26 am): blink I was just looking to swim gets into the pool Sasha N. (12:26 am): relaxes in her seat, on the way back, closing her eyes Comanche (12:27 am): I just happened to be interesting what you two were up to shrug Frosty (12:28 am): F: smiles at her relaxing, as he pulls back into the hotel lot Bauks (12:30 am): N: Â¬Â¬ It's not like you have much else to do but swim and eat sardine smoothies. Dio Cheysa (12:31 am): WHAT THE FISH?! Dio Cheysa (12:31 am): Is that NUML saying that? Comanche (12:32 am): Yes it is. Sasha N. (12:33 am): gets out of the car, stretching a little Bauks (12:34 am): N: o___o Bauks (12:34 am): N: I didn't mean it! <___< Frosty (12:34 am): F: for the first time today, doesn't look at Sasha, instead looking up and down the street, then at the hotel Hm. Dio Cheysa (12:34 am): laughs Frosty (12:34 am): F: Connie and Numl didn't leave, or at least, didn't drive. looks at Contrast's car Comanche (12:34 am): Aw, don't scare the Numl Dio Cheysa (12:35 am): then goes over to her jacket and gets out her beam halberd Dio Cheysa (12:35 am): Good point he has, though! Sasha N. (12:35 am): blinks Dio Cheysa (12:35 am): And brave enough to say it to me! Dio Cheysa (12:35 am): Therefore, we shall begin his training...engages the beam halberd with a hum Dio Cheysa (12:35 am): NOW! lunges at Numl Sasha N. (12:36 am): Shall we go find them...? Frosty (12:36 am): F: nods Sasha N. (12:36 am): smiles Let's go then. heads inside Frosty (12:37 am): F: heads inside Bauks (12:37 am): N: AHH! throws himself backward, grabbing and missing for his sword's handle >___< shylarah (12:37 am): L: steps in the way, forgetting that she's phased out shylarah (12:37 am): halberd: goes right through her, no resistance at all Frosty (12:39 am): F: blinks at he shout, ears perked Sasha N. (12:40 am): blinks, her ears perk Was that... shylarah (12:40 am): L: ..that's not how you train someone!! Frosty (12:41 am): F: Numl. He's alright... Dio Cheysa (12:42 am): stops the lunge halfway through Lani What? No, it totally is! Dio Cheysa (12:42 am): Now get out of way! Frosty (12:42 am): F: heads into the pool area, curiously shylarah (12:42 am): L: phases in No! Comanche (12:42 am): Aw C'mon Numl, you need to be better at that. Your quick draw is lame smirk Dio Cheysa (12:42 am): (Lani: phases in. BLOOD EVERYWHERE SPURT) Frosty (12:42 am): F: ~...I knew he was alright...that kind of shout, I should've come running.~ Sasha N. (12:42 am): follows Frosty Dio Cheysa (12:42 am): (Dio: ...okay, this time? Not my fault.) Frosty (12:42 am): F: Uh, guys? shylarah (12:42 am): L: I have taught the sword -- that is not a good method. Comanche, shut up. glare Sasha N. (12:43 am): (BLOOD WAS EVERYWHERE) Dio Cheysa (12:44 am): He cannot learn unless he tries to use it - and he cannot use it unless someone attacks him. this sounds perfectly logical to her! shylarah (12:44 am): L didn't remember that she had taught it! O.O until just now! You use the most dangerous method, which, while it may be effective for those who come through unscathed, has more than half the students severely injured! Frosty (12:44 am): F: blink Comanche (12:44 am): So? I learned to fire a gun with live ammo >> Bauks (12:45 am): N: fumbles for his sword, grabs the handle, and points it at Dio >___o Sasha N. (12:45 am): Ah! at the halberd-wielding Dio shylarah (12:45 am): L: There are ways to attack without endangering! Once he understands, /then/ a real battle may be fought still in between Sasha N. (12:45 am): What is she doing...! shylarah (12:45 am): L: Tell me this, Comanche. Did you use live targets? Frosty (12:46 am): F: walks over to them What on earth are you doing? Comanche (12:46 am): I'm not going to answer that fold arms Dio Cheysa (12:47 am): See! There he is now! Dio Cheysa (12:47 am): Strike, Numl! Strike now! shylarah (12:47 am): L: did you have firefights, two trainees against each other? It's the same idea here. With a gun, the instructor is /next/ to you. The same should be true of a sword, or any other melee blade. The only difference is that, there are drills that can be done against others, to develop muscle memory -- and that it is possible to have a mock battle. Frosty (12:48 am): (Lani: Did you use live targets?) Frosty (12:48 am): (Comanche: Officially, they fought back so we had to subdue them. nod) Dio Cheysa (12:48 am): (Comanche: Not after I was done shooting.) shylarah (12:48 am): ((Dio: Yes?)) shylarah (12:49 am): ((.....heehee) Frosty (12:49 am): (Dio: How do you expect to learn to bash heads if you don't know what bashing heads is like TT) Bauks (12:49 am): N: Lani? Bauks (12:49 am): N: T_T shylarah (12:50 am): L: very upset with Dio -- and Commie -- but she turns around ....What, Numl? Frosty (12:50 am): F: looks at Commie, giving a "What the @!%?" sort of look* Comanche (12:51 am): Shrug Sasha N. (12:51 am): staying close to Frosty, worried Bauks (12:52 am): N: She wants to practice like this then fine, I can handle it. Comanche (12:52 am): There, see, Numl thinks it is fine. Dio Cheysa (12:52 am): (is she still stuck inside Lani?) shylarah (12:53 am): (...no resistance at all.)) shylarah (12:53 am): ((....she /did/ move it, right?)) shylarah (12:53 am): ((or Lani wouldn't have phased in....o.o)) Silver (12:54 am): [Okay, back now.] Dio Cheysa (12:54 am): (...that's WHY I did the whole blood spurting thing!! Because I thought that she had gone solid to keep Dio from moving! XD; ) shylarah (12:55 am): L: ....if that is what you want -- Comanche, shut /up/!! -- Numl, if that is what you want, then I shall respect that. But please be careful. looks down -- after a final glare at Commie -- and vanishes shylarah (12:55 am): ((....no, she forgot, and she's not going to phase in with a weapon in her middle. it wouldn't work well)) Bauks (12:55 am): N: ~What's her problem with him?~ T__T Bauks (12:55 am): N: Let's go outside. Silver (12:56 am): [Also, I'm now imagining Lani yelling at Dio inches from Dio's face. It's amusing] Sasha N. (12:56 am): looks at Numl You be careful out there... Frosty (12:56 am): F: If you get yourself hurt, Numl, I will make sure you don't get anything better than hospital food. Comanche (12:57 am): What's her problem o_o shylarah (12:57 am): Ro: ....well. It's been a while since I've seen her like /that/. =o.o= shylarah (12:57 am): Ro: still spoken rather casually shylarah (12:57 am): ((and yeah, you weren't here for the showdown between Bits and Dio, were you, siv?)) Silver (12:58 am): [No, tell me about it in PM?] shylarah (12:58 am): ((......)) shylarah (12:58 am): ((shake and hurl at YIM or Skype)) Dio Cheysa (12:59 am): All right then, outside. starts walking out in her dripping swimsuit Bauks (12:59 am): N: ~I can do this...~ Bauks (12:59 am): N: heads to a back door exit for the hotel Frosty (1:00 am): F: I;ll see you at the shop later, alright, Numl? Comanche (1:00 am): follows them Bauks (1:00 am): N: Yeah. Silver (1:00 am): [Chat PMs work just as well, don't take up extra RAM, and are integrated into chat so the windows don't overlap or cover eachother. nods] Frosty (1:00 am): F: to Sasha Better for my nerves if I don't watch them. Frosty (1:00 am): (Yahoo messenger is shinier.) shylarah (1:00 am): ((...it's too big for there, and Skype doesn't take up room.) Sasha N. (1:00 am): nods I hope they don't end up hurting each other... shylarah (1:00 am): ((...we use Trill.)) Frosty (1:01 am): (Chat PM works well for arguing about wehther or not to use chat PM) shylarah (1:01 am): ((...touche)) Frosty (1:01 am): F: Dio's crazy, but she's not psychotic. Frosty (1:02 am): F: ...I think. Dio Cheysa (1:02 am): (MISSILES!) shylarah (1:02 am): ((Covered in Chocolate!)) Dio Cheysa* (1:02 am): heads out until they reach a suitable location Dio Cheysa (1:02 am): (NO EXCEPTIONS!) Frosty (1:03 am): F: Besides, wouldn't hurting him too much ruin his training? That doesn't suit her purposes. ~I hope.~ Sasha N. (1:04 am): I suppose so, I wouldn't know... Bauks (1:04 am): N: outside! Frosty (1:06 am): F: He'll be alright. He's tougher than he looks. Sasha N. (1:06 am): nods Sasha N. (1:06 am): sighs What should we do now, then? Silver (1:08 am): is, in fact, around somewhere. Currently, "somewhere" refers to the cafe shylarah (1:09 am): L: back to the atrium, and her tree Comanche (1:09 am): Don't hurt each other too badly >> Dio Cheysa (1:09 am): Don't worry - if he reacts fast enough, then this won't hurt at all! Frosty (1:10 am): F: Late breakfast? Bauks (1:11 am): N: holds his great knife in both hands, ready ~Maybe this wasn't such a good idea...~ o__o Sasha N. (1:11 am): That sounds fine. nod Silver (1:12 am): [Dio: ...And if he doesn't, what's an arm or two?] Frosty (1:12 am): F: ~I already ate, but I could eat a bagel or something...~ Dio Cheysa (1:13 am): Prepare yourself! charges again Mew (1:14 am): (weba) Silver (1:14 am): [...Am I the only one chat doesn't seem to enjoy randomly kicking? o_o] Sasha N. (1:14 am): Did you already have breakfast...? Bauks (1:14 am): N: moves his own sword, with speed defying its weight and Numl's build - though still a little sluggishly - to bat the pole of the beam away! shylarah (1:14 am): ((...yes.)) shylarah (1:14 am): ((wait, no.)) Dio Cheysa (1:15 am): Good! moves with the momentum of the deflection and swings her beam halberd around herself in a circle Now this! Bauks (1:17 am): N: at that, he ducks his head, trying to let the beam sail over him entirely >___< Silver (1:18 am): [N: DECAPITATED, GAME OVER] Frosty (1:19 am): F: Yeah, but I'll be fine. Frosty (1:19 am): (Sorry, Cindy) Comanche (1:19 am): (XD) Sasha N. (1:20 am): I'm sorry about that. looks down a little Silver (1:22 am): sitting in the cafe, looking incredibly bothered over something. He's barely touched the food he has, which he ordered at least five minutes ago Frosty (1:22 am): F: It's alright, Sasha. Frosty (1:22 am): F: pats her shoulder Frosty (1:22 am): E: looks at Silver Sasha N. (1:24 am): smiles a little Frosty (1:24 am): F: bagel Sasha N. (1:24 am): Let's go, then... heads to the cafe shylarah (1:24 am): B: follows Eve's gaze Sasha N. (1:24 am): (Wait what @@) Frosty (1:25 am): F: sits at a table by the half-wall when they get their food Frosty (1:25 am): (just go with it :P) Dio Cheysa (1:25 am): vhwoom, it sails over his head - and she swings it up and then down toward his head No ducking this time! Sasha N. (1:26 am): sits! Bauks (1:27 am): N: forces himself to open his eyes just enough to see the incoming blade, flinch, and lift his sword up to block the pole ~AHH!~ Frosty (1:29 am): F: ...Hmm. Frosty (1:29 am): F: I guess I'll head to work after this. nod Sasha N. (1:30 am): nods I'm unsure of what I'll do today... Frosty (1:30 am): F: ...Just take it easy. Get to know the residents a little. nod Frosty (1:30 am): E: ? shylarah (1:31 am): B: blinks Sasha N. (1:31 am): I should do that. glances around the cafe, looking at Eve, then Silver Comanche (1:31 am): Uh, maybe you should turn it down a notch Dio... Sasha N. (1:31 am): ~He seems to be bothered about something.~ Silver (1:32 am): sighs, and remembers his food. ~At least I know more now, but still...~ Frosty (1:34 am): F: follows Sasha's gaze. Congrats. Every single person in the cafe is staring at Silver. shylarah (1:34 am): B: ....half wants to ask what's wrong, but the other half has NO interest in talking Dio Cheysa (1:34 am): tonk! Nice block! then thwacks Numl's leg with her shark tail But never underestimate your enemy! Silver (1:35 am): blinks when he realizes people are looking at him ~...Um?~ >> shylarah (1:35 am): Ro: somehow ended up under the table. He is not staring at Silver, but instead washing himself Bauks (1:36 am): N: stumbles, at that, hit by the shark tail, falling to an elbow and holding the sword up defensively ~Oww~ That was a cheap shot! Frosty (1:37 am): F: You alright? Dio Cheysa (1:38 am): If you think about fighting at all, you'd better make sure to fight dirty! Or at least know dirty tricks so you can counter them! shylarah (1:40 am): Ro: You look....perturbed. is something up, or did you eat a bad egg? shylarah (1:40 am): at Siv Bauks (1:41 am): N: grrs and from where he is, he pulls his sword back and swings with the flat of the blade at Dio Silver (1:41 am): Yeah I'm fi- GAH! startled by Ro Silver (1:41 am): When did you get there?! shylarah (1:42 am): Ro: ...what do you mean, "when"? I've been here. -o.o- Dio Cheysa (1:42 am): pulls back her halberd just enough to prevent the flat of the blade from impacting her, though she does get knocked over to the side Oof! Good shot! Silver (1:43 am): To Frosty Well, I was fine, anyway. @_@ shylarah (1:44 am): Bits: ... realizes what just startled Siv, most likely, and smothers a giggle, giving Eve a glance that says "gotta be that cat!" Frosty (1:44 am): E: smiles, slightly Frosty (1:44 am): F: smirk shylarah (1:44 am): Bits: has been startled seval ties by "that cat" >.> shylarah (1:44 am): several times shylarah** (1:45 am): Ro: finishes washing and butts his head against one of Siv's legs Sasha N. (1:45 am): It's none of my business, but you looked like you were bothered... to Siv shylarah (1:48 am): ((test)) Bauks (1:48 am): N: scrambles up after that, and goes after Dio again, from the same side with the same swing Dio Cheysa (1:50 am): has steadied herself by now and takes the second hit Strong, yes, but you did the same thing twice...easier to counter that way! and she swings her tail from the opposite direction that he is swinging Bauks (1:51 am): N: batted, again, and knocked over in the direction his swing was already more or less taking him - he stumbles and hits the ground Bauks (1:53 am): (Can we somehow cut this off? Cinder and I both need to get up early tomorrow.) Frosty (1:54 am): (What're you doing tomorrow? =O_ Sasha N. (1:54 am): (Goign to potentially epic waterpark) Bauks (1:54 am): (We're going to a water park!) shylarah (1:54 am): ((.....Cedar point?)) shylarah (1:55 am): ((I've heard it is not so great...)) Bauks (1:55 am): (No) Bauks (1:55 am): (Zoombezi Bay.) shylarah (1:55 am): ((...well, the name sounds cool!)) Bauks (1:55 am): (It's the new/renovated version of Wyandot Lake, which was awesome already) Sasha N. (1:55 am): (Cedar Point is **ing awesome and possibly the greatest amusement park in the entire world if you don't count Disney World and such) Dio Cheysa (1:56 am): (sure thing guys) Dio Cheysa** (1:56 am): (Dio: cuts it off all right!) Dio Cheysa (1:56 am): (Numl: >< ) shylarah (1:57 am): (((ohgodsno)) shylarah (1:58 am): ((...yeah, but they shut down part of it and put in a waterthing, jsut like with Six Flag Great America, in Gurney.)) Sasha N. (1:58 am): (We didn't go to their waterthing but they still had dozens of epic coasters) shylarah (1:59 am): ((DUELING DRAGONS == WIN!)) Bauks (2:00 am): (Terg, gonna end their duel somehow? >> ) Dio Cheysa (2:00 am): (OHH!) Dio Cheysa (2:00 am): Faceless: jump into the alleyway on either side of Numl and Dio Dio Cheysa (2:00 am): Thrilling conclusion: not there yet! Dio Cheysa (2:01 am): (XP) Dio Cheysa (2:01 am): (are cliffhangers allowed? :P) Dio Cheysa (2:01 am): (or would you like Numl free?) shylarah (2:01 am): ((yes....)) Bauks (2:01 am): (Yeah, need him free for something else) shylarah (2:01 am): ((...but you jsut effectively tied up half the --MFW time, nevermind.)) Dio Cheysa (2:02 am): (okay) Dio Cheysa (2:02 am): That is enough for today! Dio Cheysa (2:02 am): Good work! Bauks (2:02 am): N: @__o Bauks (2:02 am): N: gets up Are all my limbs still on me? Dio Cheysa (2:02 am): then walks inside as if she hadn't been trying to kill him just now Bauks (2:02 am): N: looks himself over Frosty (2:02 am): (lolz) Dio Cheysa (2:02 am): humming the Jaws theme to herself Frosty (2:02 am): (For some reason, the mental image of Numl asking that and immediately counting his tails amused me) shylarah (2:02 am): ((...that is a running joke>)) shylarah (2:03 am): ((...same)) Bauks (2:03 am): N: ~1, 2, 3...~ Comanche (2:03 am): also walks inside Bauks (2:03 am): N: ... you can't just walk off like that! T___T Bauks (2:03 am): N: hurries in after Dio, and off-screen Bauks (2:03 am): (Goodnight.) Frosty (2:04 am): (Seeya) shylarah (2:04 am): ((....heehee.)) Sasha N. (2:05 am): (Guess I should be going, too) Comanche (2:05 am): (Going to bed myself. Night) shylarah (2:05 am): ((night.)) Sasha N. (2:05 am): (G'night) shylarah (2:05 am): ((Siv?)) Silver (2:06 am): [Ack, was distracted, here now.

Silver (2:10 am): [x_X Ack, scratch that, now I need to go too.] shylarah (2:10 am): ((.....noooo!)) shylarah (2:10 am): ((o.o; )) shylarah (2:10 am): ((bye...))

Contrast (10:39 pm): C: may be seen by Cobalt! Contrast (10:39 pm): C: As he drives away in his car, with Sasha Sasha N. (10:39 pm): nods ... Sasha N. (10:39 pm): It's...somewhat sad to think about, at times. Contrast (10:40 pm): C: What is, exactly? Frosty (10:40 pm): (test) Frosty (10:40 pm): (ate my line c_c) Frosty (10:40 pm): F: Good luck, Trifecta. Frosty (10:40 pm): F: heads out of the room Contrast (10:40 pm): T: nods, and heads out - to the garden, first shylarah (10:40 pm): L: doesn't really noitice at first, when Numl/Trifecta enters Dio Cheysa (10:40 pm): (yowdy) shylarah (10:41 pm): ((yowdy!)) shylarah (10:41 pm): ((glomp)) Contrast (10:41 pm): T: Lani? Sasha N. (10:42 pm): quieter My being so sheltered while growing up. Contrast (10:43 pm): C: Huh... do your parents know about your, well, ability? Sasha N. (10:44 pm): nods Sasha N. (10:44 pm): It was part of my earliest memory, as a matter of fact... shylarah (10:44 pm): L: blinks, and looks up ...Numl? not quite certain shylarah (10:44 pm): L: but not afraid Contrast (10:45 pm): T: ... Trifecta, right now. Contrast (10:45 pm): T: There's something you and others need to hear. Something I'm realizing. Contrast (10:46 pm): C: What do they think of it? Frosty (10:46 pm): F: heads into the lobby, glancing around, then into the cafe Sasha N. (10:46 pm): They think it's improper for a lady to use, of course. shylarah (10:47 pm): L: Very well then.... sets the sword aside, and comes back down to something more like ground-level Trifecta. ...You wished to speak to me? Contrast (10:48 pm): T: nods I... just come with me. Sasha N. (10:49 pm): When I was only a handful of years old, just after I learned to walk.... Sasha N. (10:49 pm): I saw one of our pets walking, and being a child, I tried to imitate it. shylarah (10:49 pm): L: ....can...can I talk to you, for a bit, first? Sasha N. (10:50 pm): I could do it perfectly, I found. Contrast (10:50 pm): (I really don't want to have him repeat what he'd talk to her about right back to everyone else, and meanwhile Trans and SX have nothing to do) Contrast (10:50 pm): ( <_< ) Contrast (10:51 pm): C: They shouldn't supress -what- you are. sigh Contrast (10:51 pm): C: ... my parents more or less threw me out because of my ability. shylarah (10:51 pm): ((...fair, but maybe after, then.)) Frosty (10:51 pm): (I'm watching the end of this movie anyway, I'll figure something out in a minute) Sasha N. (10:52 pm): looks over But...it's such a wonderful thing. surprised shylarah (10:52 pm): L: doesn't say that Contrast (10:52 pm): C: They're against powered citizens. Frosty (10:52 pm): (though yeah, no reason Lani has to hear it alone) shylarah (10:52 pm): L: instead, hesitates, and then nods Alright, N--I mean, Trifecta....where are we going? Contrast (10:52 pm): C: ... that and it screwed their marriage. Dad's convinced Mom cheated on him. Contrast (10:53 pm): C: How else would two unpowered parents give birth to a shapeshifter? Dio Cheysa (10:53 pm): (oo) Contrast (10:54 pm): T: To the cafe. Contrast (10:55 pm): T: Comanche will be in there... probably. shylarah (10:55 pm): L: nods silently currently appears perhaps sixteen or so Contrast (10:55 pm): C: pulls over, once they're on an out-of-city road. Sasha N.* (10:55 pm): I'm...oh, I'm so sorry. shifts a little Comanche (10:55 pm): Yep, there Contrast (10:55 pm): T: heads that way shylarah (10:55 pm): ((....Numl was only involved with Sparks and Bits in passing, even though they sorta told him about the Den...)) shylarah (10:55 pm): L: follows Comanche (10:56 pm): glance up when they walk in Hey there Numl, Lani... Frosty (10:57 pm): (lolz @ Commie) Sasha N. (10:57 pm): Why would they be against powered citizens? Contrast (10:57 pm): T: ... Trifecta, now. looks around ~Maybe Faust, as well...?~ shylarah (10:57 pm): L: nods to Commie, and smiles at Eve, if Eve looks over Comanche (10:57 pm): ...Trifecta then... What is it? Frosty (10:57 pm): (Commie: look up, see a much larger demon fox who looks nothing like Numldoesn't really react Hey there.) shylarah (10:57 pm): ((....yeah, I know)) Frosty (10:58 pm): E: looks up, confused shylarah (10:58 pm): L: makes a gesture that says it's alright Sasha N. (10:58 pm): F: enters the cafe, a little late, for breakfast Contrast (10:59 pm): T: looks over his shoulder Faust? Contrast (10:59 pm): T: I need to talk to you and others. Sasha N. (11:00 pm): F: blinks ~That's...~ Sasha N. (11:00 pm): F: ...alright. Contrast (11:01 pm): (Maybe Frosty ought to be there as well?) Contrast (11:01 pm): (He just went into the cafe, right?) Frosty (11:01 pm): F: is in the cafe8 Dio Cheysa* (11:02 pm): (playing with my new laptop while using the old one for chatting, just FYI) Contrast (11:02 pm): Easiest, really, if we FF a bit... shylarah (11:02 pm): ((....would K&B be asked, or no?)) Contrast (11:02 pm): (Nah, they're not terribly close, I don't think) Frosty (11:03 pm): (not really sure why they would) Frosty (11:05 pm): (Wait, FF to what? They're in the cafe and Tri walked in) Contrast (11:05 pm): Trifecta has gathered Faust, Frosty, Dio, Comanche, and Lani around a breakfast table. Missing anyone? shylarah (11:07 pm): ((the siblings, maybe? shrug)) Frosty (11:07 pm): (didn't you just ask about them @@) shylarah (11:07 pm): ((9brain == fail)) Dio Cheysa (11:08 pm): there shylarah (11:08 pm): L: mostly there Contrast (11:08 pm): T: looks at the others ... so. I think everyone here was there, that day that I was taken to the desert. Frosty (11:09 pm): F: nod shylarah (11:09 pm): L: ....looks down Frosty (11:09 pm): E: still in the corner, listening passively Comanche (11:10 pm): Yep. Contrast (11:11 pm): T: The days since then have been a blur for me. Sasha N. (11:11 pm): F: frowns shylarah (11:12 pm): L: head snap up Contrast (11:12 pm): T: ... I've been having a few bad dreams. shylarah (11:13 pm): L: ....I know that feeling all too well.... to herself Sasha N. (11:14 pm): F: About? Contrast (11:14 pm): T: crosses his arms Past lives. Comanche (11:15 pm): What? blink Contrast (11:15 pm): T: Duvesa claimed the only way to kill me for good was to break me. I... remember dying many times before. Maybe normally killing me just causes me to reincarnate years later? Comanche (11:17 pm): That's horrible blink Contrast (11:18 pm): T: ... not really. I'm starting to think she had good reason to want me gone. Comanche (11:18 pm): Don't think like that... what do you mean? Frosty (11:19 pm): F: starts to say something, but stops ...go on. shylarah (11:19 pm): L: I don't care what she thought. I won't believe that to be true of you. Sasha N. (11:19 pm): F: staying quiet Contrast (11:20 pm): T: looks down ... Contrast (11:20 pm): T: I was practically an animal. Contrast (11:21 pm): T: Every time I come back, I'm dormant for a dozen years or so in a child. Someone nobody suspects, someone innocent, and then when they mature... I would emerge again. Frosty (11:23 pm): F: And what would happen? shylarah (11:23 pm): L: has shut up, and is now listening quietly Contrast (11:24 pm): T: ... I'd kill. Contrast (11:24 pm): T: frowns I was mindless. Unthinking. Little more than base instincts... Sasha N. (11:25 pm): F: looks down, slightly ... Frosty (11:26 pm): F: Why...what changed? Contrast (11:26 pm): T: They... she, Duvesa, somehow knew. Contrast (11:27 pm): T: Knew about me, knew what I really was, underneath Numl. And so she did what she did, and it woke me up. shylarah (11:27 pm): L: ....woke you up? I don't understand. Frosty (11:28 pm): F: Awoke Trifecta, Lani. Contrast (11:28 pm): T: shuts his eyes I never knew pain until I was forced to feel what Numl went through, never knew hopelessness. shylarah (11:29 pm): L: ...from Trifecta's mindlessness? or from within Numl? Contrast (11:29 pm): T: From mindlessness. shylarah (11:29 pm): L: ...oh. Frosty (11:29 pm): F: ... shylarah (11:29 pm): L: ...that's....that's good, isn't it? Contrast (11:29 pm): T: I... I didn't want to kill any more. I just wanted to disappear. For good. Contrast (11:30 pm): N: I think that was what she was going to drive me to do. I think that was the point. Contrast (11:32 pm): (T) shylarah* (11:32 pm): L: ...for her, maybe. But what about now? Contrast (11:32 pm): T: Now, I... Contrast (11:34 pm): T: I don't know where to go from here. Frosty (11:34 pm): F: You...live, Trifecta. Sasha N. (11:34 pm): F: Frosty's right. shylarah (11:34 pm): L: ....does anyone ever truly know where they're going? shylarah (11:35 pm): ((....you forgot Contrast!)) Contrast (11:36 pm): (<___< ) Sasha N. (11:36 pm): (I assumed we'd do this and go back to that) Frosty (11:36 pm): (You forgot Poland!) Contrast (11:36 pm): (Contrast is out frolicking) Comanche (11:36 pm): Yeah, just enjoy being alive... shylarah (11:36 pm): ((.....heehee) shylarah (11:36 pm): ((...I meant, at the meeting. but good point. sorry.)) Frosty (11:36 pm): F: ...Isn't there mroe to it, Trifecta? There has to be. Frosty (11:36 pm): F: You don't learn...life, through pain and fear. Contrast (11:36 pm): T: frowns ... more to what, exactly? Frosty (11:36 pm): F: Not by themselves. Contrast (11:37 pm): T: looks up at the ceiling Contrast (11:37 pm): T: ... all of you. shylarah (11:37 pm): L: pain so you truly understand pleasure. fear so you understand acceptance.... Frosty (11:37 pm): F: You're not who you are because of Duvesa. Frosty (11:38 pm): (because of Duvesa alone.) Dio Cheysa* (11:38 pm): Cobalt: in her room fuming about Contrast BTW shylarah (11:38 pm): L: ....perhaps even....Numl, so you can understand Trifecta...? Contrast (11:38 pm): T: If it was just her, I would have disappeared by now, even after escaping. I may have been free of that torment, but... Contrast (11:39 pm): T: You people gave me reason to live. Sasha N. (11:40 pm): F: You deserved it. Contrast (11:40 pm): T: ... ~No, I didn't.~ looks at the table Sasha N. (11:41 pm): F: puts a hand on his shoulder You did. You...do. Frosty (11:41 pm): F: He's right, Trifecta. Sasha N. (11:42 pm): F: No one should have to live a demon. shylarah (11:42 pm): L: Not a demon! There's a difference. shylarah (11:42 pm): L: ...well, maybe a demon....but not a mindless creature. shylarah (11:43 pm): L: ....it all depends on how you look at it, I guess....trails off Contrast (11:44 pm): T: What is a demon? shylarah (11:44 pm): L: You mean, what do I mean by it? Contrast (11:44 pm): T: What does anyone mean by it? shylarah (11:44 pm): L: ...it depends on the person. Contrast (11:44 pm): T: sigh It's something I am. ~Something Frosty is.~ shylarah (11:45 pm): L: I don't....really believe in angels, or demons, not in the traditional sense. If anything, they're just another type of creature. Frosty (11:46 pm): F: ... shylarah (11:46 pm): L: Demon doesn't mean "bad". Frosty (11:46 pm): F: I don't believe in the classic, storybook definition, htat's for sure. Comanche (11:47 pm): Yeah, you don't seem too evil to me Contrast (11:47 pm): T: frowns I was before. shylarah (11:47 pm): L: ...isn't reincarnation supposed to be another chance at life? shylarah (11:47 pm): L: To start out with a clean slate? Frosty (11:48 pm): F: But you don't have to be, Trifecta. shylarah (11:49 pm): L: This is another chance. It doesn't have to go the same way as before. Contrast (11:49 pm): T: I suppose not, but... Contrast (11:49 pm): T: I never cared about however many deaths I caused before, but they're all coming back to me now that I can. Contrast (11:49 pm): T: It hurts. Frosty (11:49 pm): F: ... shylarah (11:50 pm): L: ....I guess there always is a price....but we're here for you. Sasha N. (11:50 pm): F: ...all of us. nods Your friends. Contrast (11:51 pm): T: Right. faintly Frosty (11:52 pm): F: The fact that it hurts, Trifecta...it's why it 'll never happen again. Contrast (11:54 pm): T: ... I have to atone for this. Somehow. shylarah (11:54 pm): L: to feel pain and regret -- that is what separates the monsters from the people. No matter what species. Contrast (11:55 pm): T: I... I'm keeping these visions, these memories to myself. Frosty (11:56 pm): F: ... Contrast (11:56 pm): T: Numl has had enough !#!% in his own life thanks to me. He doesn't need them as well. shylarah (11:56 pm): L: ...huh? Frosty (11:56 pm): F: ...nods shylarah (11:56 pm): L: ....oh! Of course.... Frosty (11:56 pm): F: Trifecta. Contrast (11:56 pm): T: looks at Frosty Frosty (11:58 pm): F: You have to prove that...all those deaths caused something to change. You need to live, you have to...closes his eyes Just be a good person. Frosty (11:58 pm): F: You're gonna have times when you'll have to choose what to do, and you're gonna know what's right and what isn't. Contrast (11:58 pm): T: ... smiles Won't be hard, I'll just take after you when I can. Frosty (11:58 pm): F: Heh... shylarah (11:59 pm): L: slight giggle Sasha N. (11:59 pm): F: Ah, I see how it is. Take after Frosty. puts on a jealous look, trying to lighten the mood Frosty (12:00 am): F: grins shylarah (12:00 am): L: ...you already have a kid to be looking after, Faust. Contrast (12:00 am): T: Heh. You too. ... all of you. Frosty (12:00 am): F: Just...even if it isn't always easiest, you need to live on, because I know you can do good. shylarah (12:00 am): L: .... falls silent at that Sasha N. (12:01 am): F: nods Contrast (12:04 am): T: ... I'll give you Numl back, now. Frosty (12:05 am): F: nods shylarah (12:06 am): L: falls back into a more shadowy part of the cafe, fading out partly Contrast (12:06 am): T: Well, first... Lani, do you still want to talk to me alone? shylarah (12:06 am): L: ....I suppose it doesn't need to be alone.... shylarah (12:07 am): L: just how much do the two of you know about each other? Contrast (12:07 am): T: We're the same person, really, I... it's easier to speak of Trifecta and Numl as two people. Contrast (12:07 am): T: But we're one. Frosty (12:08 am): F: It's easier to think in those terms, you mean? nod Contrast (12:08 am): T: nods shylarah (12:09 am): L: ....I'm not even going to ask how you're keeping the dreams to yourself, then. o.< I'd probably get a headache. I should warn you, though. You're a good candidate for being Schrodinger's latest toy. x.x; Contrast (12:09 am): T: Hah... shylarah (12:10 am): L: ....hey, at least he can't jump through you! Frosty (12:10 am): F: smiles Contrast (12:10 am): T: Is that all? shylarah (12:11 am): Ro: perfect timing as always jumps through Lani L: ....SCHRODINGER! totally derailed shylarah (12:11 am): L: chase a fleeing cat Frosty (12:11 am): F: I'm guessing yes. Sasha N. (12:11 am): F: nods Contrast (12:11 am): T: Good guess. shylarah (12:12 am): L: I'm gonna get you this time, you fur-faced fluff-headed...! distance muffles the rest Dio Cheysa (12:13 am): ... Dio Cheysa (12:13 am): ~Such a burden boy has to carry...~ Sasha N. (12:14 am): asked Contrast something to the effect of how his parents could hate powereds like that Comanche (12:15 am): (Reorganizing music, IM if you need something) Contrast (12:17 am): T: shuts his eyes... and an ethereal smoke comes off of him, passing through the ceiling as he shrinks, turning back into Numl Frosty (12:17 am): F: hug Numl Contrast (12:17 am): C: parked somewhere outside of Sega City A lot of people do. I think it's just jealousy... Contrast (12:18 am): N: takes a moment to get his bearings, and hugs back Contrast (12:18 am): C: I guess one could say it's an unfair advantage that allows them to get ahead in life, where unpowered people can't. shylarah (12:19 am): L: eventually gives up on catching Shrody, who seems to always have luck on his side, and goes back to the tree, and her sword Contrast (12:19 am): C: They feel threatened, so they try to oppress them. shylarah (12:19 am): ((Z0mg....I'm missing bleach!)) shylarah (12:19 am): (...gah.)) Contrast (12:20 am): ( >bleach ) Contrast (12:20 am): ( >reactionimage.jpg ) Sasha N. (12:20 am): That's one way of explaining it. gets out of the car Sasha N. (12:21 am): I wish... that people would instead be happy for other's fortunes, when it comes to that. Frosty (12:22 am): (GAH is today saturday) shylarah (12:22 am): ((...that it is.)) Frosty (12:22 am): (That explains why rollover isn't over. And why TV sucks tonight.) Sasha N. (12:23 am): Well...we aren't here to have our moods depressed, are we? smiles, looking over the quiet countryside Contrast (12:26 am): C: No we aren't. Ari/Arik (12:26 am): (hello^^ ) Contrast (12:26 am): N: lets go of Frosty Frosty (12:26 am): F: let go Contrast (12:29 am): C: No, we aren't. Contrast (12:30 am): C: smirks, formshifts back to his normal self - but with quadrupedal leg movement Contrast (12:31 am): N: Ah.... what to do now? Sasha N. (12:31 am): leans down, dropping onto her hands and feet Frosty (12:32 am): F: Um. Contrast (12:32 am): C: does the same, and takes off running Frosty (12:32 am): F: looks around Sasha N. (12:32 am): starts to run! shylarah (12:33 am): ((..I have to turn in early, unless someone wants me for something. I'm not feeling so well, and I could use the sleep...)) Comanche (12:33 am): (Night oo) Frosty (12:33 am): (G'night, Shy) shylarah (12:33 am): ((Terg? e-mail transcripts of tonight, will you? or...wait, you can't, can you?)) Ari/Arik (12:33 am): (I hope you feel better soon! o.o...rest well, and 'nite@shy ) shylarah (12:34 am): ((...Ari,can you save 'em to give to Terg on monday to e-mail to me?)) Ari/Arik (12:34 am): (could post the logs on the topic in Terg's board, if that helps ) shylarah (12:34 am): ((....perfect. glomp thanks. And thanks, guys.)) Sasha N. (12:34 am): she runs on all fours totally naturally, like a real fox, and seems quite happy shylarah (12:34 am): ((toddles off)) Ari/Arik (12:35 am): (shall be saving them either way, so whatever works^^...glomped!, you're welcome^^ ) Frosty (12:37 am): F: >> Contrast (12:37 am): N: snickers at Frosty Frosty (12:37 am): F: Okay, Numl. You distract Faust. I'll pick his pocket. Then we'll spend whatever he has in the arcade. nod Frosty (12:37 am): F: knowing that Faust is right there Contrast (12:37 am): N: Hey Faust! Contrast (12:37 am): N: Look, I'm a distraction. Sasha N. (12:38 am): F: plays along, looking at Numl Oh, are you, now? Frosty (12:38 am): F: proceeds to really obviously try to pick Faust's pocket Sasha N. (12:38 am): F: exaggerated look away from Frosty Why, what could you be distracting me from? Frosty (12:40 am): F: does he find anyhting? Contrast (12:40 am): N: Notihng. I'm just really interesting. Sasha N. (12:40 am): F: a wallet I guess Frosty (12:40 am): F: search wallet Sasha N. (12:41 am): Wallet: has money, and little else, no ID Frosty (12:41 am): F: Hey, Numl. approach, give wallet Sasha N. (12:41 am): F: If you say so... narrows his eyes at Numl, suspiciously Sasha N. (12:41 am): F: ...why, you! Frosty (12:41 am): F: turns and faces Faust like nothing just happened Hi, Faust. Sasha N. (12:42 am): F: fold arms I saw that! Contrast (12:43 am): N: Saw what? Contrast (12:43 am): N: holding the wallet in plain view Contrast (12:43 am): C: Eventually, one of them wears out. Sasha N. (12:44 am): probably Sasha...she might be able to run like that skillfully, but lack of doing it much through her life has left her more tired Frosty (12:44 am): F: You saw nothing. Frosty (12:44 am): F: This is not the Numl you're looking for. wave hand Frosty (12:44 am): F: Move along. Sasha N. (12:44 am): F: Oh, did I? leans forward, poking the wallet Contrast (12:45 am): C: That and Contrast cheats Contrast (12:45 am): C: anyways, he stops, laying on his side wherever she does Ever run that far at once in your life? Contrast (12:45 am): C: not winded... Sasha N. (12:46 am): lying down on the grass, taking deep breaths I can't say I have... Ari/Arik (12:48 am): (hello@Silver ) Silver (12:48 am): [flailfalloverdie] Contrast (12:48 am): C: In fact, when have you even last lied down on grass? Sasha N. (12:49 am): Oh, I can't remember a time, I don't think. grins, a little Sasha N.* (12:49 am): * Sasha N. (12:49 am): looks over to him You're not even tired...you used your power, I assume. Contrast (12:51 am): C: Good lungs. Contrast (12:51 am): N: Hmh. Contrast (12:52 am): N: I don't think this iiis your wallet. Frosty (12:53 am): F: Yeah, it's Numl's. nod Sasha N. (12:54 am): F: Are you sure about that? It looks oddly familiar. Sasha N. (12:54 am): nods, looking at his feet You haven't taken my feet for a run yet, have you? Sasha N. (12:54 am): (that is, before today) Contrast (12:54 am): N: Not for a run, no. shakes his head Contrast (12:55 am): (C) Contrast* (12:55 am): N: Just a coincidence! Frosty (12:55 am): F: He chose the same kind of wallet you have because he likes you, Faust. Be proud. nod Contrast (12:57 am): C: You should take today as a sign, you know... Contrast (12:57 am): C: Proof that going out of your way to be a lady, it's something you don't really need. Contrast (12:57 am): C: You should just do what you like. Sasha N. (12:59 am): Frosty...the other day, he said something to that effect as well. Sasha N. (12:59 am): You're both right. Contrast (12:59 am): C: It's true. Sasha N. (1:00 am): I...hope it's not difficult to adjust to being like this. Sasha N. (1:01 am): F: smirks Aww. Sasha N. (1:01 am): F: I am proud, I guess. Contrast (1:03 am): N: gives wallet to Faust Contrast (1:03 am): N: I bought my own. Sasha N. (1:03 am): F: takes it Aha! Sasha N. (1:04 am): F: So my suspicious were right all along. Contrast (1:04 am): C: smirks Frosty (1:05 am): F: Aww. Frosty (1:06 am): F: pokes one of Numl's tails Frosty (1:06 am): F: Why'd you give it back? Frosty (1:06 am): F: Now we can't spend his money. nod Contrast (1:07 am): C: Go eat cheap. Contrast (1:07 am): C: Buy some denim jeans and t-shirts. Sasha N. (1:09 am): I could live with that, I suppose... Sasha N. (1:09 am): Perhaps. Sasha N. (1:09 am): ~I'm so used to how I am.~ Contrast (1:11 am): C: They're probably more comfortable than a dress anyways. stands up Contrast (1:12 am): N: Hmph. Sasha N.
