You have just entered room "doomsdayepisode1."
TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
Marshmallow DM has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: (First off. OOC goes here: aim:gochat?roomname=doomsday+ooc )
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Arch mage144: This pasta is ribbed for her pleasure!
Arch mage144
: (Wait, I thought this was the RP chat. Ignore that!)
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Like it usually is around this time of year, the country of Valth is far from pleasant as far as weather goes. The skies are gray with clouds, snow is falling at a rate usually only belonging to really bad days in Doma*
T3chn0Namagomi: *It's fucking COLD, and a small group of people are standing outside on a stone platform overlooking what seem to be a set of tracks*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (What sort of tracks? :-( )
T3chn0Namagomi
: *One of whom seems to be 6'2 in height, sporting long blue hair down to his back, wearing a heavy gray coat, and carring, amongst other things, a rifle. People who've met him likely know it's Kamos.*
Arch mage144: *one of the other people overlooking the tracks bears some similarity to the first man--he is tall, thin, and dressed in a black coat with a red military-style beret*
Female Pretense
has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Hey! Back towards the back! It's the supervisor of this little operation. People would probably have caught her name as Nezetta by now, if only through her and Kamos's constant bickering.*
Arch mage144
: *he has waist-length blue hair as well, an incredibly smug grin on his face, and an air about him that he is both refined and ruthless...*
Arch mage144
: <Zeke Mazuo>
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *She's wearing all black for once- Sacrificing her normal coat for one that's plain black, and swapped her white shirt for a black one. She looks a little young to be on this sort of field trip, though. Odd.*
Lithaladhwen
: *Deviating from the precedent of resembling Kamos, a young woman in black stands in a long overcoat, rubbing her arms to keep warm. She's got a well-set scowl on her face and has curly brown hair tied behind her neck."
T3chn0Namagomi
: *He doesn't seem to be phased by the cold at all, surprisingly enough*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Oddly enough, Nezetta seems to be...Enjoying the snow.*
Arch mage144
: *glances back at Myrnal* What, are you cold?
Arch mage144
: You want me to keep you warm? *grins*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: It would figure that I end up on this sort of thing accompanied by a pair of horndogs.
Lithaladhwen
: ¬_¬ No.
Arch mage144
: IM: Damn. I will never, ever get her.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I'll be amazed if I don't kill him.
Arch mage144
: IM: No harm in continuing to try. >.>
Marshmallow DM
: *Just as everyone would expect, a moderatly sized woman with elvish ears , short blonde hair, and wearing several layers of leather armor/clothing! Yes, it's Deeum! She's probably standing with her arms crossed midly irritated at -
Marshmallow DM: cold!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *To Deeum* Cold, Lady Deeum?
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...I seriously hope you AREN'T going to be like this for the whole mission, cousin.
Marshmallow DM: Oh, no, perfectly fine.
Arch mage144: You know me, Kam-Kam.
T3chn0Namagomi
: e.e Don't call me that.
Arch mage144: Whatever, Kammy.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...Kam-Kam?
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...
Arch mage144: Work is boring sometimes. *grins*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I guess I'm lucky he at least calls me by my name.
Arch mage144
: I haven't been to Valth in about two years, you know that?
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Damn, he's such a fucking jackass. Helps sometimes, though. Having a jackass around.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: That's wonderful.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I'm so very happy for you.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Does this have any relevance on anything whatsoever?
Arch mage144
: Of course it does.
Lithaladhwen
: I'm sure it doesn't.
Arch mage144
: It's relevant to me.
Arch mage144
: So it really should be important. *grins*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: That may be true.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: But nobody cares about you.
Lithaladhwen
: *suppresses a laugh*
Arch mage144
: Ouch, lady, you burn!
T3chn0Namagomi
: *As to break the argument, a rumble and a loud whistle pierces the air*
Lithaladhwen: *very poorly suppresses a laugh*
Marshmallow DM
: Hey, just ignore it, ok? He won't change anytime soon. >_>
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What was that?
Arch mage144
: Probably...a train.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the rumbling seems to get closer and closer, with another loud whistle*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Train?
Lithaladhwen
: That's remarkably unhelpful, Zeke.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: What in the world is a train?
Arch mage144
: *rolls his eyes* I forgot.
Arch mage144
: Alright, it's...a big metal machine used to transport people and cargo.
Lithaladhwen
: It going to be this fucking cold?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: It's not THAT cold.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Live in Blizzardia for a few years. THen you'll know what cold is.
Arch mage144
: Maybe not for you, frosty-thighs.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...
Lithaladhwen
: *bites her bottom lip to stop from laughing*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *and by the platform, the engine of a train zooms by. Followed by a huge box of coal being towed...and then a number of windowed...well, carriage-like things pulled*
Marshmallow DM: Hopefully it won't be AS cold once we start, you know, moving? *rubbing her arms slightly!*
Arch mage144: *runs his hand through his hair* It's been a while since I've seen a train.
Arch mage144
: I think we should get moving, like she says. We're close to...the checkpoint.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: That...Wow.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The cars seem to stop at exactly the point where all of them would be lined up on the platform...well, they'd be more apparent were it nor for the snow being thrown into the air*
Lithaladhwen: You get on first and when you don't die I'll follow you.
Lithaladhwen
: That's my plan for now.
Arch mage144
: ...it's a train, not a deathtrap.
Marshmallow DM
: TRains just don't randomly explode or kill people just by stepping on.
Arch mage144: We've been in more dangerous places.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: They seem about the same to me.
Lithaladhwen
: Yes. *slight grin* Like camp, occasionally.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The doors on the cars open, and a few people step out of all but the center one*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm so glad I killed him. Twice.
Arch mage144
: ...I'm not cool with my allies trying to gank me in my sleep.
Lithaladhwen
: That was rude, yes.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I'm not that stupid.
Arch mage144: You could always surprise me.
Arch mage144
: *looks around for a ticket station, if there is one*
Arch mage144
: *if not, he's going to go ahead and board*
Lithaladhwen
: *turns to Zeke* You know we had to kill him again later?
T3chn0Namagomi
: *In the doorway of the center car stands a figure who seems to, if nothing else, command respect*
Lithaladhwen: *follows*
T3chn0Namagomi
: I take it you're all here for the job.
Arch mage144: We're your men.
Arch mage144
: I stand corrected. *looks around at his companions*
Lithaladhwen
: That would be us.
Arch mage144
: I'm your man. These people *gestures to the others* are your women.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: How very astute.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: You can tell the difference between yourself and members of the opposite gender.
Arch mage144
: Very well, thank you.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I'm sure your mother is proud.
Arch mage144
: *winks at Nezetta*
Arch mage144
: No, but yours is.
Arch mage144
: *winks again*
Lithaladhwen
: e_e
Lithaladhwen
: IM: At least there's someone else here for him to pester.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel
: My mother died when I was two.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Glaaare*
Arch mage144
: Oh, I'm sorry. *looks genuinely apologetic*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Boo fucking hoo. Before you even knew her.
Lithaladhwen
: e_e
Arch mage144
: ...wouldn't stop me if I were really depraved, though.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: And here I figured you where a necrophile.
Arch mage144
: *turns to the very important man*
Arch mage144
: So, yeah. We're here for the job.
Marshmallow DM
: *slightly nudges Nezzy* Grief, girl. Settle down. You'll have enough time to kick people in the face later.
T3chn0Namagomi: *He seems to be dressed in an impressive white outfit, with silver trim. The massive closed white coat hangs down to just above his white boots. The silver trim sheens, and what isn't silver on his clothes, is white.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: <_< Hn.
Lithaladhwen
: o_ô IM: He gonna say anything, or just stand there being imposing?
T3chn0Namagomi
: *His straight black hair covers the right half of his face, and hangs down to roughly one centimeter above his shoulders in front, sides, and back. As he looks out of his one uncovered green eye...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...One could not help but feel at least a bit of an imposing air about him*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: This man would be downright blinding in sunlight.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Hey, she's Vani's leutenant. Or used to be. She's used to standing near imposing people :-(*
Arch mage144
: *is not easy to impress*
Arch mage144
: *okay, yeah, he is, just drop your pants and be female*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: He needs to cut his hair. Looks like a child molester.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I swear if he offers me candy.....
Arch mage144
: So. This train is for us and us alone, eh?
Arch mage144
: Do we get a briefing?
T3chn0Namagomi
: Not exactly.
T3chn0Namagomi: You do get a briefing, yes.
Marshmallow DM: IM: Does everyone from Valtih try to play badass or something?
T3chn0Namagomi: But only if you come in, and the train won't exactly wait forever.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Makes to come in*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *walks back into the car*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos also walks in*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: If there's candy in here, I will run. I will run very far.
Lithaladhwen
: *goes ahead and gets in*
Arch mage144
: *enters*
Marshmallow DM
: *walks on, anything to get out of the cold*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The train actually feels somewhat warmer on the inside*
Marshmallow DM: *VERY thankful!*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Excellent.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Damn.
Marshmallow DM
: To herself: Oh man, my fingers felt like they could snap off.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The interior of the train seems to have a very sterile look. Lots of whites and grays, with some brown to be found in the wood visible. The windows are clear*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: What an interesting mode of transportation...
Arch mage144
: IM: Yep. Valth.
Arch mage144
: IM: Man, Valth is so boring.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The man seems to be sitting at one end of the train, and there seem to be six open seats at the other end*
Lithaladhwen: *quickly grabs an end seat*
Arch mage144
: IM: Everyone's all "chastity for the state!" and "sterile white!" and "class society!"
Arch mage144
: IM: It just means nobody gets laid and they all go crazy.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Makes to sit!*
Arch mage144
: *sits down!*
Marshmallow DM
: *takes a seat herself*
T3chn0Namagomi: *All the others seem to be occupied by people in what appears to be mostly loose outfits. The outfits themselves even seem to be mainly gray and white, complete with helmets, and gray masks covering their faces.*
Lithaladhwen: õ_o IM: What the fuck? Seriously! Who walks around with their faces all covered and shit?
Arch mage144
: IM: See, you can't even pick out the hot women.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *There is a small opening for the eyes, but even the eyes are not visible, covered by the darkness provided by the helmet and the mask. Each one seems to be holding a rifle in their main hand*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Dammara. Can't even look at you fucking people.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: *Music!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Zeke and Kamos recognize them as belonging to the government's own military*
Marshmallow DM: Well, this silence is nice.
Arch mage144: *looks at Deeum* Yeah. Thrilling.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Kamos himself sits down in a seat as well, obviously*
Arch mage144: *whistles a tune that no one is ever going to recognize, but he knows it to be "Chase the Thunder," a popular Blitzkrieg single*
Marshmallow DM
: Soo, Are we going to be briefed?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Give him a minute.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Breifing for something like this isn't something you can hurry.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *An operator seems to shout out the door in Valthi* -Departing!- *And then closes the door, upon which point the train starts to move*
Lithaladhwen: IM: We can sit here being stared at and staring back. Or we can get to fucking business.
Arch mage144
: We're leaving now, at last.
Marshmallow DM
: Not saying we need to hurry. Just saying something other than looking around us in an awkward silence would be nice.
TheWaiChibiAngel: It can't always be avoided. Expecially at times like these. *Glancing out the window*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *there are things moving, and snow falling!*
Lithaladhwen: *glance to Deeum* IM: Check one intelligent person. Good to know.
Marshmallow DM
: IM: Ah, so cheerful. *sigh*
Arch mage144: Yeah. So, I remember you from one night at the Dragon. You're Kamos' woman, right?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Have you ever done anything like this before? *To the room at large, apparantly.*
Marshmallow DM
: To most peoples shock, yeah.
Lithaladhwen: *to Nezetta* Kind of.
Arch mage144
: *laughs*
Arch mage144
: All the time.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I'm going to be optimistic and assume this time'll go better.
Arch mage144
: Not really a shock, to be honest with you. I knew he'd find somebody eventually.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Without looking* Then you should know what sort of planning goes into these sorts of things. It can't be spoiled by giving information at the wrong time.
Arch mage144
: Probably at about the time Argovia froze over, but hey, what do you know!
Marshmallow DM
: The way people react, I'm some sort of saint or just really desprate.
Lithaladhwen: *slightest of scoffs* Yeah. Something like that.
Marshmallow DM
: And I've done a few *to Nezzy eventually!*
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* I don't get the impression you're a "saint." *grins*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *AHEM!* *the man decides to give his briefing without warning* As you all know, the job is to eliminate the main controlling staff of Karume Industries, crippling the corporation itself and ending this war.
Lithaladhwen: *immediate attention to The Man*
Marshmallow DM
: *Grin*
Arch mage144: *looks at the guy in charge and adopts a serious expression*
Marshmallow DM
: *Attention shall be paid.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Back to the front!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: There are six staff members in question. *hands out a pair of sheets with what seem to be pictures of people*
Marshmallow DM: *Browse!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Looks them over*
Arch mage144
: Hm. *studies*
Lithaladhwen
: *checks as well*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Hmm...Pictomancer?
Arch mage144
: IM: Six men. I can handle that. I've got help, I suppose.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I'm surprised how many of the details Quinn remembered. She has one hell of a head for pillow talk, apparently.
Marshmallow DM
: *Anyof them have something worth noting? Like a facial feature that stands out?*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM:...Has to be. Nobody could paint like that.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The sheet they get seems to have three people listed on it. All of which have something written in Valthi next to it*
Arch mage144: *is literate*
Arch mage144
: *in Valthi, no less*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Can't read Valthi. :-(*
Lithaladhwen
: *not in Valthi...sadly*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The first man on the top seems to be on the rotund side, given his face. He appears to be middle-aged, sporting a mustache.*
Marshmallow DM: *Can't dispite knowing Kamos!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The second man, in the middle, seems to be rather average looking. Clean-cut everywhere, with his hair slicked back*
Marshmallow DM: IM:.. wow, this man looks like a real ASS
Arch mage144: *cracks his knuckles* A bunch of fat bureaucrats.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The third man looks...a bit out of place. Having some stubble, and very short cut hair, he seems to have a very militant appearance about him*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Looking things over*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *From the top, Zeke can read: "Akuru Maikete--Chief Officer", "Reikae Zutai--Vice Chief Officer", and "Daru Seikata--Chief of Security"
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos seems to have been given a different list*
T3chn0Namagomi: You will be split into two groups, as to deal with them in a more hasty manner
Arch mage144: Two groups. *raises an eyebrow* I can handle that. There're only five of us, though. How should we divide?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Raises a brow*
Marshmallow DM
: How do we decide who goes with who?
T3chn0Namagomi: *points his finger at Deeum, Zeke, Nezetta, and Myrnal* You four make one group. I was expecting more, but I can give support to the one out.
Lithaladhwen: *blink*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...If I may speak freely.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Yes?
Lithaladhwen: IM: Please do.
Marshmallow DM
: What? Kamos isn't coming with us?
TheWaiChibiAngel: That is an incredibly foolish plan.
T3chn0Namagomi
: Explain your reasoning.
Arch mage144: *smirks*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Don't question him. Do you know how much planning goes into these things?
Arch mage144
: IM: This is gonna be great.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Having a group that large is a liability, first of all. Secondly, having one person to deal with three?
Marshmallow DM
: IM: This may or maynot end in tears..
Lithaladhwen: You seem fine with it, Zeke.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I didn't say one.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Then who else?
Lithaladhwen
: I can probably guess why. >_>
T3chn0Namagomi
: As I said, I was going to offer support. -Rise.-
Arch mage144: He's sending his own men with Kam-Kam.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *motions to three of the masked soldiers, who stand and salute the man*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Makes a face*
Arch mage144
: I can see why.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Very well.
Arch mage144
: *w to Nez* Trust me, you're got the better Mazuo on your team.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* That's what concerns me.
T3chn0Namagomi
: I trust that you have brought any and all provisions necessary for this job?
Arch mage144: If by provisions, you mean ammunition, I'll be good for a while.
Arch mage144
: I can handle myself. This is not my first job. I'm Valthi, remember? *grins slightly*
Lithaladhwen
: *puts a hand to her waist and smiles a little*
Arch mage144
: -What a Valthi swears to do, a Valthi does.-
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Got all my favorite things.
Arch mage144
: Common maxim. *sage nod*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel: If possible, I'd like to see if something can be arranged for a few extra provisions.
T3chn0Namagomi
: What kind?
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Extra healing supplies, if you can arrange it. Bandages, potions, whatever you can get.
T3chn0Namagomi
: We do not know of these "potions" you speak of.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....What?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Stupid backwards part of the world...
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...Bandages will do, then.
T3chn0Namagomi
: However, medical supplies are viable.
Arch mage144: A standard first-aid kit.
Arch mage144
: If you please.
Marshmallow DM
: That'd should do it.
Arch mage144: *w to Nez* Take note. Magic's unusual here. If I were you, I wouldn't advertise to the world that you're a caster.
T3chn0Namagomi
: -Get one box of medical supplies-
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* I'm aware. Thank you for your concern. *Wow, that sounded genuine :-(*
Arch mage144
: *w* Most Valthi born with magic get...adopted...by the state.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *one of the soldiers does as told, sliding out a white box with an odd black symbol on top, and hands it over to the group*
Arch mage144: *w* It's a bit more complicated than that, but I bet you don't care. *sits back up and smirks*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Makes ot look in the box*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *There seem to be bandages and various surgical tools in there, in addition to some bottle of an unknown fluid*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
Arch mage144
: *does Zeke recognize the fluid?*
Arch mage144
: *he can presumably read the label*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *It's some sort of sterilizer*
Arch mage144: It's antiseptic.
Arch mage144
: ...wait, you don't know what that is, either.
Arch mage144
: It cleans wounds.
Marshmallow DM
: I hope we won't be needing to use some of those *look into the kit*
Lithaladhwen: I'm sure we will.
Arch mage144
: Don't look at me, I'm no doctor. I put holes in people, not sew them up.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Ah.
Arch mage144
: IM: Note to self. Do not get injured.
Arch mage144
: IM: ...if only that always worked.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *as if on cue...the train begins to pull through a tunnel, and the snowfall seems to stop momentarily*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Unless anyone has a better idea, I'll be managing this.
Lithaladhwen
: Sure. Whatever makes you happy.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the white expanse is momentarily replaced by gray walls, which are then replaced by various gray objects moving by while snow falls once again*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Well, I'm likely the only one here with any medical training. <_)<
Lithaladhwen
: Yup. Probably.
Arch mage144
: Suits me.
CGNakibe
has entered the room.
Arch mage144: Hm. *looks at Kamos*
Marshmallow DM
: S'fin with me..
Arch mage144: You gonna be okay with...those guys? *motions to the blank soldiers*
Marshmallow DM
: *To KAmos* Are you going to be alright on your end?
T3chn0Namagomi: I'll be fine.
Arch mage144: Not that I care, really. You're a mercenary, you live or you don't. If you don't, it just means you were a lousy mercenary.
Arch mage144
: *waves a hand dismissively*
Arch mage144
: IM: Don't get yourself killed, man.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I was seriously worried that Zeke was worried. That would confuse me.
Marshmallow DM
: Well, just try not to take them all on at once? Some of us like you to come back in one peice.
T3chn0Namagomi: *smirks* Indeed. While others would likely just want me not to so they can take my share.
T3chn0Namagomi: *meant somewhat sarcastically, of course*
TheWaiChibiAngel: What do I care? I'm getting a third of everything anyway.
T3chn0Namagomi
: IM: Like hell you are
T3chn0Namagomi: Yes. Right, you are.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh* IM: She's a peach. I should take her home and introduce her to my parents.
Arch mage144
: *raises an eyebrow* Waitaminute. Why are you getting a third when there are five of us?
Lithaladhwen
: IM: We're going to have to kill her. Aren't we.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *w2Zeke* She thinks she's entitled to it...
TheWaiChibiAngel: That was the deal Kamos and I agreed on. Probably becase I saved him from making multiple terrible mistakes...
T3chn0Namagomi
: *w2Zeke* Don't mind her
Arch mage144: *w* She can fuck me. No really. She can fuck me.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Like letting ALL of DOMA know what you were DOING.
Arch mage144
: *w* Then she can get her equal fifth.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Do you remember that?
T3chn0Namagomi
: No, I don't
TheWaiChibiAngel: Or should I let Inverse remember it for you?
Arch mage144
: Whatever, we can discuss this when we have the money.
Arch mage144
: You might not make it, after all, in which case this'll have been pointless.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Kamos. We're going to need a moment before we disband. e_e
Lithaladhwen
: IM: We divide it equally. If that means I take one of her hands as compensation for the extra money, then that's what it means.
Arch mage144
: *whistles* I hope we're almost there. My legs are cramping.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Though I'd rather not. She'd probably be more useful with her hands.
Lithaladhwen
: *slightest of smirks*
T3chn0Namagomi
: Unfortunately, though you may want to speak, we're on a strict schedule. There won't be time for talk after we stop...which is...
T3chn0Namagomi: *the train feels like it is, as if on cue, slowing down a good deal* Right about now.
TheWaiChibiAngel: There will be time.
Arch mage144
: *stands* Finally.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: If Kamos values the integrity of his entire life, so help me, there will be time.
Arch mage144
: *laughs* Pretty serious about this, eh?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: There was a reason that deal was mad.e
TheWaiChibiAngel
: And if the deal is broken...
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...Kamos will no longer have any sort of private life.
Arch mage144
: Ooooh.
Lithaladhwen
: *chuckles*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: You know who I associate with, Kamos.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: You know full well what he is capable of. e_e
Arch mage144
: *raises an eyebrow*
Arch mage144
: IM: I might have another job after all this is over.
Marshmallow DM
: *Stands!*
Arch mage144: IM: ...for half of Kamos' share, or something.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Do you UNDERSTAND me, Kamos.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Stands*
Arch mage144
: IM: The bitch is really serious about this, it seems.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The operator opens the door* See, there's already a Seiram attack force at the site already. You're going to have to rush to the designated points before the attack force is completely driven off.
Arch mage144: You heard the man, let's move!
Lithaladhwen
: *nods to Zeke*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: It's your choice, Kamos. If you go back on our deal, the world sees your dirty laundry. And I don't think Ms. Deeum wants the world seeing what you do when you think you're alone.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I'm following the guy who knows this place.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Unless he tells me that I can't cross the border without having sex with him. Then I know he's lying.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: After you. *To Zeke*
T3chn0Namagomi
: Yes, I "understand" you, but remember one thing. This isn't some lich you're fighting and killing.
T3chn0Namagomi: *smirks* Have fun ending the lives of others.
TheWaiChibiAngel: What we're killing has nothing to do with the deal we made.
Arch mage144
: *hops out*
Lithaladhwen
: *follows*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Follow!*
Arch mage144
: Ending the lives of others is what I'm paid for. Let's do this!
Marshmallow DM
: Just becaful, Kamos! *follow!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Kamos walks off rather smugly, followed by three of hte soldiers*
TheWaiChibiAngel: I wonder how much business Kamos'll get if the world finds out he never finished his basic training. *Walks*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Yes, that would be a bad bit of information to get out, wouldn't it?
Arch mage144
: Don't die on me, Kamos!
Lithaladhwen
: Only other Valthi would probably care. I sure as fuck don't. ¬_¬
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I wonder what happens if they find out he beats up children to make himself feel more like a man? *Talking to herself at this point.*
Arch mage144
: *laughs* That sounds kinda like my cousin.
Arch mage144
: IM: If you're going to die on anyone, make sure it's a woman.
Arch mage144
: IM: Man, he beats up kids? That's pretty sad. The guy needs help. I hope his woman shapes him up.
Arch mage144
: IM: If he can't feel like a man with her, he never can.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *a fourth soldier follows Kamos' group, seeming to go ahead...and a fifth goes ahead of the other group*
Arch mage144: *are we actually looking at a battle at the moment, or what?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Yes, actually. There seems to be a pretty big firefight out front. Lots of people hiding behind various objects, and parts of the Karume HQ entrance, taking shots at each other with pistols and rifles.*
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: Jaeko would die of pleasure.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The attackers seem to be wearing red bands on their arms, while the defenders seem to be wearing yellow. Of note, the defenders seem to be wearing more angular masks...and seem to be wearing nothing but gray, as opposed to*
Marshmallow DM: *w* We better get somewhere FAST.
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *the white and gray camouflage of the state's soldiers*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: On the one hand, we stand out. On the other, we don't look anything like them. o_O
T3chn0Namagomi
: *this scene is happening to the left, for the count, while there appears to be a sign saying something in Valthi on the right*
Arch mage144: *sign says!?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *...it seems to be advertising a new drink*
Arch mage144: IM: Damn. I'm thirsty.
Arch mage144
: IM: ...no, cannot be distracted by advertising.
Arch mage144
: Okay, the best thing for us to do is get in under cover, yeah?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Definitely.
Lithaladhwen
: *glances to Zeke* IM: Following Zeke. His idea is not asinine.
Lithaladhwen
: Yes.
Arch mage144
: Nobody get shot and we're okay.
Arch mage144
: *moves toward the entrance of the Karume building, trying to use cover and steer clear*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the main government soldier seems to be using this cover...and quickly dashes over to what seems to be a side door in the hexagonal building*
Arch mage144: IM: There we go. A side entrance.
Marshmallow DM
: *Follows keeping an ear/eye out for anyone that feels the need to make us swiss*
Arch mage144: *points, in case the others don't see it*
Lithaladhwen
: *nods*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Probably not going to find any nice dark areas until we get inside a building.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Prepares to make a run for it*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the soldier carefully picks the lock and opens the door, and then steps aside quickly*
Arch mage144: *like a SWAT team leader, Zeke runs ahead, motioning for the others to follow around to the side door*
Marshmallow DM
: *Does not question. Just follows*
Lithaladhwen: *follows Deeum*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *MOVE< MOVE*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the soldier seems to walk away from the whole deal. He likely is meeting at a rendezvous point*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Once inside the building, the group notes that they're in a hallway. It's all gray, with what seems to be the occasional hole in the wall for a light source.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: WHat an odd country..
Arch mage144
: Man, for a country with such advanced technology, you'd think they could invent primary colors.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the hallway seems to not have any twists or turns in it. Just a straight path with a door at the end*
TheWaiChibiAngel: What is WITH this country?
Arch mage144
: They don't get enough sex.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: It's bright in here. I think I'm developing a fear of open spaces. In a hallway. That's just sad.
Arch mage144
: That's seriously my theory.
Marshmallow DM
: So we could obtain the county's peace if we could get them all laid?
Lithaladhwen: Could very well be the answer.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...
Arch mage144
: Nah, chastity is one of the supposed virtues of the state.
Lithaladhwen
: Other than speculations on Valthi sex, do any of you have a clue what we need to be doing right now?
Arch mage144
: Most of 'em don't want to.
Lithaladhwen
: *points to the door*
Arch mage144
: I would say "shooting things," but there aren't any.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Looking for people, and killing them.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Does anyone see any of these people around here?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Displays the sheet*
Arch mage144
: Alright, let's stay quiet from here. There's a lot of distraction going on outside.
Arch mage144
: >_> Of course not.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I was just making sure that I hadn't gone insane.
Arch mage144
: ...you have to check now and then, huh?
Lithaladhwen
: e_e Let's just go.
Arch mage144
: Whatever. You want to go first, Myrnal?'
Lithaladhwen
: No. I think the resident Valthi should go first. *sweet smile*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I've lived in Doma for a year after living in Blizzardia and the City of Storms the rest of my life.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Of couse I have to make sure I'm not going crazy from time to time.
Arch mage144
: Ah, fine, I'll go first.
Arch mage144
: *walks ahead, listens at the door*
Marshmallow DM
: *Keeping an ear out for anything unusual!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The hallway itself seems to be wide enough for three people to fit side by side*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There's the firefight outside, but nothing else unusual heard*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Likewise! That is, keeping an ear out.*
Lithaladhwen
: *tries not to make any extra distracting noise*
Arch mage144
: OK. *draws one of his pistols*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *so...yeah. There's a door and shit*
Arch mage144: *opens the door a crack*
Lithaladhwen
: *follows Zeke's lead and pulls out two daggers from under her coat, one in each hand*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *...it looks like...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Hahahaha, weapons.*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *...the bottom of a stairway!*
Arch mage144: *opens the door up*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *it looks like a pretty long way up...but the stairway IS there*
Arch mage144: Stay on your toes, people. *starts to ascend, weapon at the ready*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Wow, he advised us to stay on our feet.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: I had not expected that.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Begins up*
Lithaladhwen
: *follows Nezetta*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *and so they ascend the stairs*
Lithaladhwen: *to the max*
Marshmallow DM
: *following*
Marshmallow DM: *how wide is this stairway?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There seems to be thirteen floors, not counting the floor they just left.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And the stairway is wide enough for two people side by side*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Climbing!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Myrnal and Deeum seem to notice that, despite their distance, the firefight seems to be starting to die down a bit*
Marshmallow DM: *one culd argue of that's a good or bad thing*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Okay. That might be a good thing.
Marshmallow DM
: *could**
T3chn0Namagomi: *Everyone also notices that their footsteps seem to be making noise on the metal stairs*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Shit. 6_6
Arch mage144
: IM: Keeping quiet with four people is going to be tough.
Arch mage144
: *is stealthing, in the event that there is a situation where someone might hear him*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Even if I could keep quiet, I don't think the others are going to help things.
Arch mage144
: *up up up!*
Lithaladhwen
: *stealth is awesome and we like it*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the party is currently at floor 8. Keep going?*
Arch mage144: *are there doors out of the stairwell?*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Walking slower :-(*
Marshmallow DM
: *Tres to walk carfully. All her equipment isn't making walking silently any better*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke can't seem to stop making so much noise. Myrnal seems to quiet herself down a bit*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There's a door, but there are also more stairs*
Arch mage144: *does it say floor 8 on it?*
Arch mage144
: IM: Corporate heads are always...at the top. *looks up* At least that's the impression I've always gotten.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *In Valthi, yes*
Arch mage144: Okay, look. *whispering*
Arch mage144
: I have no plan to wander aimlessly around corridors. I bet the corporate offices are at the top floor.
Marshmallow DM
: *w* That's a long way up and we're not exactly the quietest assassins.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Not really, no.
Arch mage144
: IM: That's your fault.
Arch mage144
: *w* Whatever.
Arch mage144
: *w* You want to get out on this floor and walk around and tangle with security, that's your business.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* it would be prudent to get as high as possible all at once.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* There may not be any other stairwells on this floor.
Arch mage144
: *w* Right.
Marshmallow DM
: *w* Fine fine. I could use magic, but I don't know how many I can carry and for how long.
Arch mage144: *w* Let's keep going up as far as we can.
Lithaladhwen
: *nods*
Arch mage144
: *w* They're just stairs. There's going to be noise. There's been a gunfight outside.
Arch mage144
: *w* We see anyone, fight first and ask questions later.
Marshmallow DM
: *attempt to keep a good grip on some of her equipment to reduce the noise factor*
Arch mage144: *w* No one here is going to be friendly or accept any explanation for what we're doing here.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* That's true. All we can do if we're seen is eliminate the threat.
Arch mage144
: *w* Right.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I don't like being seen. Makes me nervous.
Marshmallow DM
: *w* SO I guess saying we took a wrong turn wouldn't get us any sympathy?
Arch mage144: *w* Their uniforms have covered faces. If we get in a bind, we may have to gank a couple for disguise purposes.
Marshmallow DM
: *Trying to lighten the mood atleast*
Arch mage144: *w* Right. No sympathy. So, up?
Marshmallow DM
: *Heads up with everyone*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* Up.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Ups*
Arch mage144
: *ups*
Lithaladhwen
: *ups*
Arch mage144
: *not to be confused with United Parcel Service, UPS*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Deeum manages to be...somewhat...stealthy*
T3chn0Namagomi: *So does Nezetta. Still making some noise*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Looks like they're at the top*
Arch mage144: *listens at door number 13! Or whatever number we're at*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *14! :D!*
Arch mage144: *lucky number*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *:-(*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *...Myrnal and Nezetta hear something from that direction*
Lithaladhwen: ...*taps Zeke with the back of one hand so her knife's not pointed at him* *w*You hear that?
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Though Nezetta can't quite make it out through the door, Myrnal notices something that sounds vaguely like approaching footsteps*
Lithaladhwen: *w*Shit. Someone's coming.
Arch mage144
: *w* No problem. Stay silent. Back down the stairs a bit.
Lithaladhwen
: *gestures to Deeum behind her so that she can follow her down a few steps*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the footsteps seem to get closer...*
Lithaladhwen: *hunches down a bit, throwing knife readied*
Marshmallow DM
: *like always, carefully follows*
Arch mage144: *kneels down on the steps* *w* A fight here could be messy...
Arch mage144
: *w* If they come down the stairs, ambush em' quickly.
Lithaladhwen
: *nods*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the door opens, and it sounds like there are two there...*
Arch mage144: *ready action allowed?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Yes*
Arch mage144: *first guy through the door is getting targeted by Choke*
Lithaladhwen
: *ready action likewise over here*
Female Pretense
has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: *Throw the returning dagger. If it doesn't look like the enemy knows she's there, make it a sneak attack.*
Lithaladhwen
: (Never mind)
Lithaladhwen
: (No sneak attack. ;_; )
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Oh, you idiots!
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The first man looks down...and points his rifle at the group*
Female Pretense has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The spell barely seems to phase the soldier at all, and the knife, though on target, barely misses, and returns to Myrnal*
Lithaladhwen: *catches* ð_o
KnightsofSquare
has left the room.
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Screw stealth, they've already been seen. :-(*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Nezetta's gonna charge up the stairs, use the railing as a boosting platform, and attempt to kick the first soldier she sees in the jaw- Upwards, so as to knock him back.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: (Medium strength attack, target: THAT GUYS JAW.)
OnlineHost
: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
TheWaiChibiAngel: (29, not factoring in penalties for aimed attack and medium hit, because I'm lazy when I'm not the GM)
KnightsofSquare
has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The kick nails the soldier straight in the face mask, and he staggers back. That guy's "face" felt harder than it should, though...*
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: What the...
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the man then drops his gun, and fast-draws his knife, letting loose with an upward slash at Nezetta*
T3chn0Namagomi: *That kick must've jarred something, or the soldier hadn't been practicing CQC that much--that was a pretty far miss*
T3chn0Namagomi: *However, Nezetta may not have noticed the other soldier aiming right for the leg she kicked with, and firing with the rifle*
T3chn0Namagomi: *the shot aims true, as the bullet tears through Nezetta's leg, doing some significant damage to the unarmored leg and tearing up some significant muscles in the process...she DOESN'T feel like she could use that leg so well...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: AGH! >_O
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Thank god for the other leg*
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
Marshmallow DM: *Unsheaths her sword and darts towards the soldier with the rifle. She swings upwards in attempt to chopp off an arm or both arms. Depending if she aimed correctly*
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Sadly, Deeum didn't quite hit that well. And by that well, I mean at all*
Marshmallow DM: IM: Damn it!
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: *Myrnal rushes to the man who just shot Nezetta, since she's less worried about the guy she kicked in the jaw. She slashes at him first with her returning dagger, and second with the Nekogami's claw.*
KnightsofSquare
has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *her strikes are quite accurate indeed. Both of them cutting through the armor as if it was nothing, and eliciting a crimson spray of blood on each cut*
T3chn0Namagomi: *the soldier falls over to the ground in a slump, blood spilling all over the floor and stairs*
Arch mage144: IM: That woman is so damned sexy.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Glares at the one she kicked, due to the fact that she can't do much else to the one that shot her.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Granted, she can't do much right now anyway.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Really, she's going to do the only thing she can do, and throw a simple frost spell at him.*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *that frost spell is way too much--even for a Valthi. The soldier falls over with a thump, seeming to be frozen solid--along with whatever he's carrying*
Arch mage144: IM: Wow, I was right. She is a cold bitch!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: A knife.
Arch mage144
: ...what?
Marshmallow DM
: *Yeah, rushes to Nezzy who is, you know, bleeding? alot?*
TheWaiChibiAngel: A KNIFE.
Arch mage144
: You need a knife?
Arch mage144
: *pulls one out of his boot*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Give me a knife.
Arch mage144
: *hands it over*
Arch mage144
: Right, the bullet. Get the first aid kit.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Takes it, and begins tryingt o get the bullet out of her fuckin' LEG :-(*
Arch mage144
: >.o
Lithaladhwen
: *wipes one of hers off on her leg* IM: Mine are hardly clean enough for this right now.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: This is too much for a first aide kit.
Arch mage144
: You know healing magic?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Nods* I'm a white mage.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *If there's no need for a knife, she's just going to heal it with a basic spell. Her last outing tought her not to use more than you need with this sort of thing.*
Arch mage144
: *scratches his head* You? A white mage? I would've never guessed that.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the healing spell clears up any definite injury. Her leg still feels like hell to walk on afterwards, though*
Marshmallow DM: *yeaah, puts way her sword and offers Nez a hand*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Takes it*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Fuck. Fucking fuck!
Arch mage144
: They made more noise than we did. I dunno how much, but we're gonna have to be careful.
Arch mage144
: I get the impression you've got a limitless supply of frigid, Nezetta. You're gonna need it where we're going.
Lithaladhwen
: *snickers*
Arch mage144
: *fumbles in his pockets and pulls out a package of cigarettes*
Arch mage144
: *taps the package, pulls one out, lights it, and puts the package away after putting the smoke in his mouth*
Lithaladhwen
: Zeke?
Arch mage144
: *his eyes narrow a bit* What?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Not now.
Lithaladhwen
: We're trying to be unobtrusive and you're smoking? You want to leave a trail of stinking tobacco smoke wherever you go?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: They'll be able to smell it.
KnightsofSquare
has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: e_e
Arch mage144
: I always smoke on missions.
Lithaladhwen
: Get yourself killed on your own time, not on mine.
Arch mage144
: *takes a drag* But if you insist. *snuffs it out on his sleeve and shoves what's left in his pocket*
Lithaladhwen
: Thanks.
Arch mage144
: It's the only time I smoke. >.> I'm gonna be so pissed later.
Lithaladhwen
: Well, later you can smoke until you asphyxiate and die.
Arch mage144
: Steadies my aim, man.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Woman.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Tries to walk, but limps*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Gryzechska.
Arch mage144
: Man, woman, the only difference is what you've got in your pants.
Arch mage144
: Bless you.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: I hate when people do that.
KnightsofSquare
has entered the room.
Arch mage144: Well, the door's open. Let's move. *pistol in each hand, moves forward*
Lithaladhwen
: *follows*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Gimps afterward*
Lithaladhwen
: *keeps her knives out because they're her friends*
Marshmallow DM
: *bringing up the rear~!*
Arch mage144: *what's in the hallway, Mr. GM?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The hallway seems to make a three-way branch*
T3chn0Namagomi: *One straight forward, and one 60 degrees on each side*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w*Which way?
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Each of the hallways looks rather...similar. All gray, and wide enough for three people side-by-side.*
Arch mage144: IM: Goddamned Valthi architecture.
Arch mage144
: IM: It's like someone thought we should all live in eggs.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The place is still well-lit*
Arch mage144: *starts walking cautiously down the hall* *doors, branching corridors, what?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Which hall? Left, middle, or right?*
Arch mage144: *left, for shits*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Left is right.*
Lithaladhwen
: *leftways is rightways*
Marshmallow DM
: *Left!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke starts heading down the left hall. There seem to be windows on the left side of the corridor...and a door on the right side.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Said windows show the gray cloudy snowy day.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Follow follow follow.*
Arch mage144
: IM: Even the weather in Valth is depressing and white.
Arch mage144
: IM: I swear. Primary colors.
Arch mage144
: *door! listen*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Zeke can't hear anything on the other side of the door. He hears two sets of footsteps distant from the direction they came from, though*
Arch mage144: *w* In here, quick!
Arch mage144
: *opens the door
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Gimp!*
Marshmallow DM
: *Follows suit! into the door!*
Lithaladhwen: *yup*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Behind the door? Another corridor. One that seems to make a fork--60 degrees to the left and right.*
Lithaladhwen: *w*If we keep going left we'll be able to get back without too much thought.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM:....
Arch mage144
: IM: Oh hell.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* How is this architechture possible?
Arch mage144
: *w* Valthi ingenuity.
Lithaladhwen
: *w*Don't feel like getting lost in an office building.
Arch mage144
: IM: We should have hidden those bodies better.
Arch mage144
: IM: Like, in a locker or something.
Arch mage144
: ......
Arch mage144
: *w* There are guards back that way.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: I need to start carrying jugs of water.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: That way, I can freeze the floor and slow these forsaken guards down, wherever they are.
Arch mage144
: *did the corridor with the door go down farther?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Yes*
Arch mage144: *w* Fuck it.
Arch mage144
: *goes down farther! closes the door*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Gimp, gimp!(
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the group comes to a 60 degree right turn in the corridor*
Arch mage144: *right!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* Zeke.
Arch mage144
: *w* What?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* Are Valthi decendant of BEES?!
Arch mage144
: *w* No way, bees have stingers.
Lithaladhwen
: *cannot possibly repress her laughter this time*
Lithaladhwen
: *snickers*
Marshmallow DM
: *coughahem*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* Then WHY DO YOU LIVE IN HIVES.
Lithaladhwen
: *laughs into her upper arm*
Arch mage144
: *w* I don't live in a hive! Valthi office drones do!
Marshmallow DM
: *w* One could argue about the stingers.. but that's another story. LEts just move?
Arch mage144: *w* What the hell do you want me to do about it, tell them to put up signs that say "assassination targets here?"
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* I expect them to not build buildings where you need a map to find your way to the washroom!
Arch mage144
: *w* Come to think of which, where is the washroom...
Arch mage144
: *w* Hey, it's not like most castles are much simpler.
Arch mage144
: *w* They were designed to confuse intruders, right?
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* The castles I've been in at least make SENSE.
Arch mage144
: *w* You know who didn't build this place? ME!
Marshmallow DM
: *w* Calm the hell down will you?
Arch mage144: *w* If you want to go back to the other intersection so we can go straight, we'll do it.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* I don't CARE where we go, as long as I can rest my leg!
Lithaladhwen
: *w*I don't care where we go. Worst case scenario, we all die. Other than that, let's just pick a path.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Let's just keep going. e_e;
Lithaladhwen
: *nod*
Marshmallow DM
: *stays close to the walkks and continues*
Marshmallow DM: Walls*
T3chn0Namagomi: *so I take it they go around the corner*
Arch mage144: *Yep!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Down the path they were on, I assumed.*
Arch mage144
: *that's right--the path is curving, but it's not really a big deal*
Arch mage144
: (Windows on the left, right?)
T3chn0Namagomi
: Yep
Arch mage144: *w* OK, I think we should try to proceed toward the center of the building.
Arch mage144
: *w* We're on the outside wall.
Lithaladhwen
: *w*Perfectly fine with me. Sounds good.
Marshmallow DM
: *w* I just hope noone knows we're here already.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* Agreed.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The corridor seems to still go straight, with windows on the left. And a branch in the path that seems to go back slightly on the right. It still goes forward*
Arch mage144: *go forward--if we come to a door on the right, we're going in*
Female Pretense
has left the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Yep!*
Marshmallow DM
: *continuing forward!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke, Myrnal, and Nezetta hear distant footsteps coming from the right. Whether they're approaching or going away is not known.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Kill them or let them pass. Kill them or let them pass.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Anywhere to hide? PErhaps in plain sight?*
Arch mage144
: *door, door, please be a door!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *It's too well lit for plain sight hiding. And it's a straight corridor, not a door*
Arch mage144: *w* You hear that? We can keep going forward, or we can go back to the other door, but we've got to decide fast!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* Back!
Lithaladhwen
: *w* Back is good.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Though eventually we're going to have to go where the people are. So that we can... you know. Kill them and whatnot.
Marshmallow DM
: *w* Well? Lets go back. No time for all of us to agree.
Arch mage144: *goes!*
Lithaladhwen
: *follows*
Marshmallow DM
: *yep*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Back to the door?*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Backwards! Limpy.*
Arch mage144
: *in the door!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *In the door!*
Arch mage144: *ok, hallway branches left and right--we go right*
Arch mage144
: *it's closer to the middle*
NebbieQ
has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Limping after everyone!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Damnedable bee-men!
T3chn0Namagomi
: *They go right.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The right path seems to reveal...a door on the left, and a door in front*
Arch mage144: *front door--listen mode, go!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *There appear to be the sound of footsteps going away...to the right...
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Brb, need to use the water closet. :-( )
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Rather nearby footsteps, too, going away to the right*
Arch mage144: *waits until they recede, holding up a finger to everyone*
Marshmallow DM
: *w* Which side?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Waits, resting her weight against a wall*
Arch mage144
: *w* I hear someone, but they're moving away.
Arch mage144
: *w* Let's go this way.
Lithaladhwen
: *nod of assent*
Marshmallow DM
: **goes that way*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I always hated this shit. Wandering around in circles looking for something viable to kill or loot.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Is it so much to want to rest my leg?
T3chn0Namagomi
: *suddenly, the footsteps seem to pick up in pace quickly*
Arch mage144: *opens the door!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: I mean, really.
Arch mage144
: *SHIT!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Makes to hobble in!*
Arch mage144
: *pick up the pace away?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Yep*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...Zeke might remember the door on the right from somewhere.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *So might everyone else.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *You know...that one they came out of in the first place...*
Arch mage144: *arrrrrrgh!*
Arch mage144
: *let's go what used to be straight and is now left*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *...and the two guards seem to be looking over the corpses...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: ...FOr the love of...
Arch mage144
: IM: We are so fucked.
Arch mage144
: IM: Worst. Mission. Ever.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Have the guards spotted them?
T3chn0Namagomi
: *from the right* -We have an intruder in the facility!-
T3chn0Namagomi: *No, they have not yet*
Arch mage144: *OK, time for a spell*
Arch mage144
: *Zeke mutters a little, points at the stairwell where the bodies are...*
Arch mage144
: *and attempts to create the sound of footsteps in the stairwell*
Arch mage144
: (Distraction!)
Arch mage144
: *like, running footsteps*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the guards look down the stairwell* -Down there! Halt!-
Arch mage144: *w* OK, left, while they're distracted!
Arch mage144
: *w* Hopefully they're going to think we're on a totally different floor now.
Lithaladhwen
: *quickly does so*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* Hopefully!
Marshmallow DM
: *waits for them to be out of sight/ear shot*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Goes the other way, as quietly as possible.*
Arch mage144
: *indeed*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Shit fuck shit motherfucker this is a pain. If we had more time I'd kill some of these lights.
Marshmallow DM
: *w* you know what would've been nice to have? A map.
T3chn0Namagomi: *the group comes to another two way split--60 degrees left, 60 degrees right*
Arch mage144: (OK, if at all possible, because we have senses of direction, the basic idea is whatever takes us "in." I assume that's right.)
T3chn0Namagomi
: *I take it they go right, then...*
Arch mage144: (Yup!)
Marshmallow DM
: *Going right? then goes*
T3chn0Namagomi: *heading right, the group can see a junction again...right or straight, with faintly approaching footsteps from the right*
Arch mage144: *straight!*
Marshmallow DM
: *Scurries straight indeed!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Well, straight, obviously. :-(*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the group heads straight, around a 60 degree left turn...and are now at a four-way junction; a door on the left, corridors straight and to the right*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* Check the door.
Marshmallow DM
: *listens at the door!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Deeum hears...nothing*
Marshmallow DM: *w* Seems clear.
Arch mage144: *w* Hmm.
Arch mage144
: *w* Not left.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* We should check in here, first. *Indicates*
Arch mage144
: *w* Well, okay.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *w* You never know where something useful will turn up.
Arch mage144
: *w* Check it out. But if it's a corridor, let's go right.
Marshmallow DM
: *w* It could be a trap. I mean, they know we're somewhere.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* It's too quick for it to be a trap.
Arch mage144
: *w* Yeah, it's not a trap.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Slowly opens the door*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *it looks like...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...more stairs.*
Arch mage144: *STAIRS :D*
Arch mage144
: *w* OK, let's not go down. Right?
T3chn0Namagomi
: *They only go one way.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Up.*
Arch mage144: *oh, the stairs go UP?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Yep*
Arch mage144: *retcon*
Marshmallow DM
: *Aren't they on the top floor?*
Arch mage144: *apparently not*
Arch mage144
: *let's go UP!*
Marshmallow DM
: *up up and away?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *UP THE STAIRS!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *UP!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Ups, appropriately.*
Lithaladhwen
: *totally up*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *It's a spiral staircase in a hexagonal room...and they come to a door at the top...*
Marshmallow DM: *LISTEN?*
Arch mage144: *listen!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Man, she sure is sneezing a lot.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *...Or it sounds like sneezing.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Who can tell?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Deeum hears nothing...but Zeke hears some faint breathing on the other side...*
Arch mage144: ......
Arch mage144
: *w* There's someone there. If we get the jump on them, we should be okay.
Marshmallow DM
: *nod*
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
Arch mage144
: *gun in one hand*
Arch mage144
: *w* I'm going to pull the door open. Shoot first, ask questions later. Got it?
Arch mage144
: IM: I can use the door for cover...this should work.
Marshmallow DM
: *how wide is the stairway? same as before?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yep*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Stands back!*
Arch mage144
: *gives a count with his fingers*
Marshmallow DM
: *shield ready!*
Marshmallow DM: *motions Nez to get behind her*
Lithaladhwen: *readies both knives to blender things if necessary*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Does so!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Isn't going to object to let the WALL OF MEAT take the hits.*
Arch mage144
: *1...2...3...PULL!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: Kii?! *turns around*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Screw rushing in. She's just gonna Beam this bitch.*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Sadly...the beam didn't work. The soldier sidesteps it...then snaps something off of a green canister, which he throws onto the ground before running the hell away*
Arch mage144: !
Marshmallow DM
: Fuck! Kick it back in and shut the door!
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
Arch mage144: *totally tries to do that >.>*
KnightsofSquare
has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The canister erupts......in a blinding white flash*
Arch mage144: >.O
Arch mage144
: >.<
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Nezetta manages to get the hell away quickly, and seems to have been affected at all...*
Lithaladhwen: *throws an arm over her face*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Fruhsprichter grenade!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM:...That's it?
Arch mage144
: IM: OW SHIT MY EYES
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Myrnal and Zeke managed to shield their eyes, and though were quick enough to do that, are still dazed*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Deeum...sadly...well, she's not gonna be seeing things for a while, I think*
Marshmallow DM: ARGh
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Turns, and begins back up, hurriedly!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ....Cheknhin!
T3chn0Namagomi
: *needless to say...the guard did get away*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Du scheißt' mich an. No fucking way.
Marshmallow DM
: Damndamndamndamndamn.
Arch mage144: Fuck.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Are you alright?
Marshmallow DM
: *covering her eyes still*
Arch mage144: *moves out into the hallway as soon as he can see shit*
Lithaladhwen
: *tries to get her bearings back* Da-fucking-marra.
Marshmallow DM
: I can't see!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Lovely...
Marshmallow DM
: *moves her hands and tries to look around*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Wait here.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Makes to peek through the door again*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the guard seems to be gone...it may not be a good idea to stand around for long*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Everything's still somewhat blurry to Zeke and Myrnal, but visible, at least.*
Arch mage144: *where are we?*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *In the stairway, still*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Come on. We have to go.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Now.
Arch mage144
: *steps into the hall*
Marshmallow DM
: *can even hear the underscore in hervoice!*
Lithaladhwen: *follows Zeke because his hair makes him easy to see*
Arch mage144
: *looks around, trying to figure out what's in this hallway*
Marshmallow DM
: *stumbles along?*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Grabs Deeum's hand, and leads her into the hall*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Zeke.
T3chn0Namagomi
: ...It seems to be a hallway leading all around the room...there seems to be a door to their right and one to their left...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...each with some Valthi written on it.
Marshmallow DM: *So totally can't read that. jerk :-(*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Zeke.
Arch mage144
: ...huh?
Arch mage144
: >.<
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Here.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Tries to grab his hand, and put Deeum's in his*
Arch mage144
: *his eyes focusing yet?
T3chn0Namagomi
: *everything's still somewhat blurry for Zeke, but it's coming back into focus*
Arch mage144: *grabbed*
Marshmallow DM
: Lets just go. I'll get my sight back eventually.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Tries to make that magic connection, and brush past*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Yes, because having you stumble around blind without a guide is such a wonderful idea.
Lithaladhwen
: I'm with you. I'll be okay in a minute.
Marshmallow DM
: Shut it, gimpy. Lets just go.
Arch mage144: *holds Deeum's hand* IM: This is totally Kamos' woman.
Arch mage144
: IM: I should not be doing this.
Arch mage144
: *if he can see well enough, tries to read the door placards*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *If he can get up close to it...he can read on the left one..."Security Department"...and on the right one..."Executive Department."*
Arch mage144: ...executive department's this way.
Arch mage144
: *points to the door* Give me just...one second so my eyes can recover.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Hurry.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: No.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Follow me. Now.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Though...he may remember that he was supposed to kill the head of security as well...*
Lithaladhwen: Come on, Zeke. Let's go. We'll be fine.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: We don't have a minute.
Arch mage144
: Fine, fine...
Arch mage144
: (We'll get him after.)
Lithaladhwen
: Nezetta. You said you're a white mage. Hate to seem demanding, but you got anything you can do for her? *gestures to Deeum*
Arch mage144
: Who do you want to off first, security or the executives? >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I've been working on it. I can't restore sight to the blind yet, no. >_>
Arch mage144
: Executives aren't known for their combat prowess. Save the security for later.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Executives.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Indeed.
Lithaladhwen
: *shrugs and rubs one eye with the back of her hand* Was worth a try. Execs.
Arch mage144
: This way. *opens the door, if it can be opened*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Take the leaders out, and the rest will crumble without a clear plan.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: That would be the theory.
Arch mage144
: *w* Good idea.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Things seem to be starting to come into focus, BARELY, for Deeum. It's no longer white, but it's a very confusing wash of colors*
Marshmallow DM: I'm recovering anyway. You're all blobs now.
Lithaladhwen: Awesome. What I always wanted.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *So...enter the Executive branch?
T3chn0Namagomi: *
Marshmallow DM: *blinking and is apparently still holding hand!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Hopefully!*
Marshmallow DM
: *Growling alittle* Damn this is aggravating. Lets hurry!
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke and Deeum hear something rather foreboding...a good number of footsteps from the security department's direction...*
Arch mage144: *go figure*
Arch mage144
: *let's go through the executive branch door*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the door opens to reveal another two-way junction. Left or right?*
Arch mage144: (Well, we found the executive "branch")
Marshmallow DM
: Please tell me it's just one way.. and my eyes are still fucked?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Beehive!
Arch mage144
: *w* Left. Let's hurry!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: We're trapped in a beehhive!
Marshmallow DM
: *blink blink!*
Lithaladhwen: *w* Let's just fucking go! *left-go*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *And they hurry left down the gray hallway, until coming to another junction--straight or right?
T3chn0Namagomi: *
Arch mage144: *straight*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Straight, that is right!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *They head straight...
Marshmallow DM: *Straight, sailor*
T3chn0Namagomi: *everything's clear for Zeke and Myrnal...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *as in, they can see again*
Marshmallow DM: *Still nearly blind? :-(*
T3chn0Namagomi: *In their haste, Deeum and Nezetta seem to be making a good deal of noise as they run. And yes, still very washed out stuff*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Deeum manages to hear footsteps from behind...*
Marshmallow DM: *w* Behind!*
Arch mage144: *w* Move faster!*
Lithaladhwen
: *moves faster*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Does!*
Marshmallow DM
: *Tries to!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There's a door on the right, and a sharp right turn up ahead as well*
Arch mage144: *runs into the door!*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Follow!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The group enters the room...and they seem to have walked into a...well...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...It's a breakroom?!*
Arch mage144: !
Arch mage144
: *w* OK, everybody in here!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Does so!*
Lithaladhwen
: *yup*
Arch mage144
: IM: Kazeros, I really hope this works.
Arch mage144
: *once everyone is inside, mutters a small incantation*
Arch mage144
: (Disguise--the door will now look like part of the wall)
T3chn0Namagomi
: *...with people. Various Valthi bigwigs who are...well...now pressed up against the wall with fear*
Arch mage144: (Oh hell)
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...
Arch mage144
: (Well that's okay, scratch my spell)
Arch mage144
: !
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Snort*
Marshmallow DM
: What?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Breaks down into a fit of giggles*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Sometimes... I wonder why I do things. Any of the things that I do. Why.
Marshmallow DM
: No, really, what? I can't see a damn thing?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...-HELP!-
TheWaiChibiAngel: This is like some terrible joke.
Arch mage144
: IM: Fuck!
Arch mage144
: Fish in a barrel, people!
Arch mage144
: *guns are ready, it's time to start shooting!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *one of them happens to run out of the room, screaming*
Marshmallow DM: *aren't we still near the door?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Okay. Tries to get past the party*
Marshmallow DM: *BLOCKS?!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yeah...he's blocked*
Arch mage144: *shoots him!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *too bad he wasn't on the list*
Arch mage144: *too bad he's probably dead*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Too bad I- Wait, Nezetta doesn't care.*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Meanwhile...Zeke and Myrnal hear the footsteps getting closer to the door*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Points to one of the execs*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Then makes the international hand signal for "C'mere, you!*
Arch mage144
: Sarah, help me hold this door shut!
Arch mage144
: *back up against the door*
Arch mage144
: This isn't going to work for very long, but we've got a couple seconds...
Arch mage144
: All of you get down on your knees! Hands on your heads!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Let ME handle this.
Marshmallow DM
: *assuming you meant her! She does so*
T3chn0Namagomi: *they don't seem to understand Common*
Arch mage144: Oh, right.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Point, signals over!*
Arch mage144
: -DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!-
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *This is pretty basic stuff. :-(*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *They comply*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
Arch mage144
: IM: Kazeros, I hope that these guys are important.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Zeke.
Arch mage144
: They speak Valthi.
KnightsofSquare
has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Tell one of them to come over.
Arch mage144
: Fine.
Arch mage144
: -You!- *points to one* -Come over here!-
Marshmallow DM
: *plants her footing down and holds that door in place. No one is getting through*
Arch mage144: -Hands on your head!-
Arch mage144
: -Anything funny and I cap you!-
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Translate for me.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *one of them does...but...*
Arch mage144: I told him to come over here, and if he did anything I'd shoot him.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *suddenly, the door is being banged on...*
Marshmallow DM: ....
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I'll let you deal with our friends outside.
Marshmallow DM
: We're going to do it anyway, so what's the poin?
Arch mage144: Gee, thanks. I hope I can handle them all.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I meant stalling them.
T3chn0Namagomi
: -Ready position! Fire!-
Marshmallow DM: Down!
Arch mage144: *steps away from the door to one side*
Lithaladhwen
: ...I'll go with you. I've got nothing to say to these people
Arch mage144
: They're shooting!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Gets away from the door! Grabs the exec, if he's getting too close, aswell.*
Marshmallow DM
: *does too! And what about her vision?*
T3chn0Namagomi: *rifle shells shoot through, seeming to blast off the hinges of the door. And Deeum's vision is getting better. Cloudy, but things are much more focused now*
Lithaladhwen: *stays away from the door and rifle shells*
Marshmallow DM
: *Readies to sstab anthing that walks through the door*
Arch mage144: (OK, Nama?)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (Hm?)
Marshmallow DM: anything*
Arch mage144: (As soon as it's possible for Zeke to do so, he's going to position himself to cast Aero into the hall corridor and catch as many soldiers as possible)
Arch mage144
: (I am BRBing, need soda)
T3chn0Namagomi
: (Gotcha)
Lithaladhwen: *ready to attack anything that's not obviously an ally*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The door gets slammed once more, and knocked over. The guy doing this appears to be holding a large shield...large enough to hide himself completely behind*
T3chn0Namagomi: *There seem to be two more with shields, and three riflemen in the group, hiding behind the shielders*
Arch mage144: IM: Narrow corridor...
T3chn0Namagomi
: *the shielder seems to just sit there, and hold his shield tight in place...while the rifleman, behind the center shielder, takes cover behind the shield and fires at Nezetta*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The shot barely misses Nezetta. If she were a few millimeters to the side...*
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: *Myrnal, seeing little else to do at this point, does the only thing she can to be useful. She does her best to tear into the closest enemy. This happens to be the man with the shield in the doorway.*
KnightsofSquare
has entered the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The first strike barely gets past the shield, but hits regardless, and pierces the armor like nothing, drawing blood. The second strike gets through with ease, and spraying blood*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Amazingly, he still seems to be alive after all that, and remains standing*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The left gunner then takes aim at Myrnal, and fires from cover*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The rifle shot goes straight into her chest, and...hurts, amongst other things. That's what rifles do*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The chainmail may have absorbed some of the impact, but it still got in*
Lithaladhwen: *skids back on her heels from the impact, and her mind is filled with totally untranslateable Goblin profanity*
Lithaladhwen
: *There would be no point in reproducing any of it, as it was likely gibberish anyway.*
Lithaladhwen
: >_< IM: *censored*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM: Lovely!
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Meanwhile, the shielder in front of the gunman decides to use his free hand to fire another shot at Myrnal*
T3chn0Namagomi: *With a pistol, of all things*
T3chn0Namagomi: *While she got struck in the chest, the next shot smashed straight into her arm.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *So now the bullet tore through her arm as well.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *That's gotta hurt*
Lithaladhwen: *The knife in her right hand drops to the floor and damn. If you thought the profanity was over, just try and separate her from her knives by filling her with bullets. No one likes that.*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The rifleman behind the right shielder then took aim and fired a shot at Myrnal again, this time at her left arm*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And it too strikes true, ripping through her left arm. Rifle bullets hurt, didn't I tell you that?*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah. Everyone knows the drill. Bullets bad. Frail ninja doesn't like them. She manages to keep her knife this time, but it's unlikely it's there as anything more than a comforting object right now.*
Lithaladhwen
: * Kind of hard to attack with eith either arm. But dammit she kept the knife this time.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Raises both arms up* You all...Have made a very, very large mistake.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Man, that's a lot of magic being channeled.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *..That's a whole lot, really.*
Arch mage144
: IM: Is it just me, or is she getting colder?
Lithaladhwen
: *Breathes. Because she still can. And that's good.*
Marshmallow DM
: *makes a point to get closer to Myrnal with her shield up infront.
Marshmallow DM: &&
Lithaladhwen: *distracted nod of thanks to Deeum*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I think it's time for everyone to chill out. e_e
Marshmallow DM
: **
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And...Out comes the biggest ice spell she's got- Blizzard, blasting the guards in the hall*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *And lo and behold, it was big...and quite cold. VERY cold, in fact...the shielder in front and to the left, and the gunner to the left all practically froze to death from the assault...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...But the right shielder...and two of the gunners...managed to be quite alive*
CGNakibe has left the room.
Arch mage144: *steps into position in front of the door, raising his hands* You know what, if that last blast wasn't enough for you bastards, then maybe you need another!
Arch mage144
: *with that, Zeke powered up his spell, releasing a column of vacuum designed to crush his foes with high-pressure air*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Despite the last shot, the shielder held up quite well against the blast. The gunner dodged so easily as to leave Zeke wondering what the fuck happened*
Arch mage144: IM: Damn! I knew relying on magic was a bad idea. I should've just shot the bastards.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Glanes at Myrna* Get back.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: I'll tend to you when it's safe.
Marshmallow DM
: *Taking the chance, Deeum drops her sheild and places her hands above Myrnal'* They can take care of the rest. You need me more. *Gathers up as much of her magic and tries to heal the bullet wounds*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The healing indeed heals up the bullet wounds. Though the wounds are healed, they still hurt like hell from having had pieces of metal go through them...*
Lithaladhwen: *relaxes slightly from the lessening of very bad injury.* IM: Now there's something I---Damn. That helps.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: She didn't have to do that.
Lithaladhwen
: *actually makes eye contact with Deeum* Thanks.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Then the shielder aims at Nezetta, this time*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And fires*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The shot still doesn't hit...that's what you get for using those goddamn pistols*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Myrnal strikes twice at the shielder, but her attacks seem to have lacked the same...umph...that her last two have. Her blades drew blood, but not nearly so much.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The first of two gunners behind the shielder takes out another green canister, snaps, and throws it into the room...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Again, the damn thing explodes in a flash...most of the people in the room are dazed or blind...and Myrnal's got blurry vision again. Deeum and Nezetta, on the other hand, have problems seeing at all*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeke managed to shield his eyes completely*
Marshmallow DM: Argh
Arch mage144: IM: Fucking flashers!
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I'm going to kill the next person I see even CARRYING ONE OF THOSE!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Not going to swear. It will get her nowhere.*
Arch mage144
: *but it's fun!*
Marshmallow DM
: *covering her eyes again while waiting for the sharp pain in them to settle*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The other gunner fires a shot at the now temporarily blinded Nezetta*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And it hits her straight in the chest. The armor lessened the impact a LOT...but it's still a bullet*
Marshmallow DM: *Still trying to figure out where she is or which direction she's facing*
Marshmallow DM: *holds up her shield to defend!... assuming it's the right way*
Arch mage144: *guns in each hand, Zeke decides to give up the magic crap for now*
Arch mage144
: *then quickly sweeps his weapons across the battlefield, firing a shot at each foe, alternating which gun he uses when firing*
Arch mage144
: Die, you bastards!
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The shot aimed at the shielder strikes him straight in the chest, putting a nice hole where certain organs should be. He collapses, finally dead. Meanwhile, the two riflemen roll out of the way of the shots*
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
Marshmallow DM: Were we hit?! I just heard a thump.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I think I'm still alive!
T3chn0Namagomi
: *Everyone's vision gets a little better...*
Lithaladhwen: *She'd been shot. She'd lost her knives because of being shot. She'd been nearly blinded a couple of times. There were too damned many of these guys and she just wanted to kill one.*
Lithaladhwen
: *She chose based on convenience and went for the closest gunner.*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *And it may be possible to calculate the pressure and quantity of blood sprayed when Myrnal stabbed the fuck out of the soldier, but I don't feel like it. And thus, I just call it a bloody mess*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Nonetheless, another corpse falls to the floor*
Lithaladhwen: *And thus she was, for that moment, pleased. Regardless of how long it would last. Killing is good.*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *backing up, the last of the gunners fired a hasty shot at Myrnal*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Perhaps a bit TOO hasty...that bullet just barely missed*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Better back off you little fucker.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: You better hope one of the others kills you.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Curls up as much as possible. She knows she can't do a damned thing right now.*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: IM:...I'm going to die.
Arch mage144
: *raises both pistols* You're a dead man, you know that?
Arch mage144
: *bang x2!*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The rifleman dodged the first shot rather gracefully...however, he made the mistake of dodging into the second bullet...and dodging quite hard into it at that*
Arch mage144: IM: Hm. That felt good.
T3chn0Namagomi
: *He didn't die, but he looks ready to*
Marshmallow DM: *Hoping her eyes have adjusted enough to tell who is who! Deeum swings her hand forward whilist uttering something under her breath. Where her hand stops, a spear of holy energy (Hopfully) is casted! onwards!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Despite her trouble seeing, the ray of light strikes the last soldier, spearing through him. He collapses, and is likely NOT getting up*
Lithaladhwen: That was... lucky.
Arch mage144
: *turns to Nezetta* You still have a bullet in you?
Marshmallow DM
: I swear to go, I am going to shove one of thos flash bombs down their throat.
Arch mage144: I told you I'm no healer, but I'm gonna try to get that out. Give me a second. Myrnal, keep an eye on those bastards. *points to the bigwigs*
Marshmallow DM
: God*
Lithaladhwen: Yup.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Nods*
Lithaladhwen
: *turns and grins to the folk on the wall, probably still covered in blood from killing some guards and getting shot to hell herself*
Arch mage144
: *places his hands over the wound* IM: Kazeros, magic is ridiculous, but it's useful sometimes.
Marshmallow DM
: Need some help? *rubing her eyes*
Arch mage144: *uses a vacuum to coax the bullet out of the wound*
TheWaiChibiAngel
: NAAGGH!
Arch mage144
: Yeah, that can't have felt good.
Arch mage144
: Alright, next on the agenda. Kill these guys. All of them.
Arch mage144
: But wait a minute.
Lithaladhwen
: IM: Is that really... Yeah. Probably.
Arch mage144
: *searches the bodies of the fallen for a flash grenade*
T3chn0Namagomi
: *The frozen one has one!*
Arch mage144: *grabs*
Arch mage144
: Everybody close your eyes. *pulls, pitches at corporate bigwigs*
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I swear to ...to someone...*closes eyes* If you blind me you crazy fuck.....
Marshmallow DM
: *What are you doing--*Covers eyes with an arm and her shield*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm going to blind you.
TheWaiChibiAngel
: *Closes eyes* You IDIOT!
TheWaiChibiAngel
: Find another, jackass! >_<
Arch mage144
: (Should have pitched it far enough that it wouldn't get them--none of the guards were ever blinded by their own, after all)
Arch mage144
: (Plus, you can cover your eyes in advance)
Arch mage144
: *as the flash goes off* That is what you get for putting those goddamned flashbangs in the corporate budget!
Lithaladhwen
: IM: I knew there was a reason I liked you. Crazy fuck.
