You have just entered room "vesselsofsouls."
Arch mage144: Uh, tell me what you plan to do.
Arch mage144: Where the hell is Nama?
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
Arch mage144: OK, there you are.
T3chn0Namagomi: *sweatdrop* Didn't know if it started yet, so I linked it in the main chat. ^^;
Arch mage144: Anyway. Shini is doing...something, I need a minute to organize something.
PapatymisonN: I'll grab a snack.
T3chn0Namagomi: I guess I'll take a minute to bring up my sheets
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Sorry. Mom called. Later on, when the water is fixed in my bathroom, I"ll be needing a shower, bad. Then food.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Called on the phone, that is.*
Lithaladhwen: When the water is fixed?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yay, post-exercise soreness!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Getting no hot water there for some reason.*
T3chn0Namagomi: Gah
T3chn0Namagomi: HATE that.
Arch mage144: Clearly I'm being retarded after my encounter with a can of tuna
Arch mage144: I'm sitting here staring at the screen trying to remember what the hell it was I needed to do o_O
Lithaladhwen: *laugh*
PapatymisonN: *patpat* Don't worry, Brian. Soon, your feeble IQ will catch up with the rest of us supergeniuses.
Arch mage144: No, you have to realize
Arch mage144: *retells story*
Arch mage144: So I opened the can of tuna without realizing that it was tuna in oil.
Arch mage144: I went to drain it into the sink and was like "what the hell? Why is everything slippery? How did I get all greasy?"
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: I somehow managed to get oil all over myself, and my hands were too slippery to properly hold the can and scoop the tuna out, then the fork got covered in oil and I dropped it, and I dumped tuna all over the table
T3chn0Namagomi: XD
T3chn0Namagomi: And this, boys and girls, is why we buy tuna in water, or somesuch
Lithaladhwen: We bought this kind so that we could cook with it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh.
Lithaladhwen: If you use tuna in water for cooking, it gets dry.
T3chn0Namagomi: I see.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oil keeps it good for cooking
T3chn0Namagomi: Gotcha
Lithaladhwen: For snacks, it's tuna in water, because that's the only way we can buy albacore.
Arch mage144: I'm never buying it in oil again, it's completely unnecessary. If we want to add oil to it when we make that sauce we just add oil.
Arch mage144: It was oily tuna, no less, so I had to wipe all the oil off the table as well.
Lithaladhwen: Ack.
PapatymisonN: Tasty.
CGNakibe: The oil is slightly tastier, depending.
Lithaladhwen: The oil makes a difference.
Lithaladhwen: If there isn't oil in the tuna, it'll get dry.
CGNakibe: You can imagine that much like Shrodinger's cat the tuna is still swimming around there in the water before you open the can.
Lithaladhwen: But that doesn't make this whole situation any less rediculous.
Lithaladhwen: *ridiculous.
CGNakibe: And yes, Ashley is of course correct.
Arch mage144: I think the tuna in oil tastes pretty good, in retrospect.
Arch mage144: But it's not as good for you, for one thing, and the fact that I failed my "handle tuna" check is just screwed up
CGNakibe: Failed?
CGNakibe: More like you rolled a natural 1.
T3chn0Namagomi: Kind of like I rolled an 18 on my "cook waffles in toaster" check earlier today.
T3chn0Namagomi: GURPS 18, I mean
CGNakibe: Think about it this way, though.
CGNakibe: At least Noire might like the new change in your wardrobe.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *..Priam has a flat.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *I'll be back.*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Yare yare...imaimashii desu yo...
Lithaladhwen: It cannot be avoided.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *I'll be back.*
Lithaladhwen: *salute*
PapatymisonN: Dangnabbit. Why do I have no actual FOOD in this house?
T3chn0Namagomi: Because you didn't buy any?
PapatymisonN: My parents feed me.
PapatymisonN: But not enough, I guess...
Lithaladhwen: I guess.
Arch mage144: OK, now I'm ready to go.
Arch mage144: ...and Shini is gone.
T3chn0Namagomi: Conveniently.
Arch mage144: *shrug* It's no big deal.
Arch mage144: I had two separate people, several hours apart, ask me for "anise oil" at work today because they wanted to use it to bake cookies.
Arch mage144: The second woman specifically clarified that she was not looking for "anus oil" when I gave her a funny look, mostly because I was surprised two separate people had asked about it.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: Heh.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Right. Back, but now I gotta get Neb to work in about 15 minutes*
Arch mage144: We'll just wait for you to get back before we do anything important. We can start up now otherwise.
PapatymisonN: That's like when I get one person buying a rarely purchased pack of cigarettes...
PapatymisonN: Then someone coming in 15 minutes later and buying 3 more.
PapatymisonN: Then they don't sell again for days or weeks.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *If it's cool, I'm going to have a late entry.*
Arch mage144: I'm fine with that.
Arch mage144: Roll call!
T3chn0Namagomi: <Mid-Boss, err, I mean Zeiren Aslan>
CGNakibe: <Serran Dien, a.k.a. That Guy Over There.>
PapatymisonN: <Oxblood, who'll beat the hell out of the next guy who calls him Stinky>
Arch mage144: <Gamemaster>
Lithaladhwen: <Helena "Still Made of Atoms" Mazuo>
T3chn0Namagomi: (I had to put on a damn sweatshirt. x_x)
T3chn0Namagomi: (It's apparently cold in this room)
CGNakibe: (I thought Helena was made of Awesome. o.o Ah, well.)
CGNakibe: (Live and learn.)
Arch mage144: *It's been less than a day since Delta Unit's last mission, in which they successfully captured Elsa Kuragari alive (much against her will), recovered Kagero Kuragari's prototype mecha minus one auracore...*
Arch mage144: *...and Oxblood functionally destroyed Zeiren's door over a scent-related tiff.*
Lithaladhwen: (Hee.)
CGNakibe: ("Tiff" Is a fun word too.)
Arch mage144: *Where is everyone and what are they doing?*
PapatymisonN: (It's about RESPECT, man...)
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeiren is at the Intangible and Absent Strength machine, working on how to win in this projectilefest!*
CGNakibe: *Busily playing games in the arcade* -.-
CGNakibe: *After all, you can only be hyped up so long, right?*
PapatymisonN: *If Oxblood was reprimanded already for the incident, he'd be doing any menial labour they assigned to him, if they did. If not, he'll be at the sim-rooms, upping his piloting skills...*
Arch mage144: *Cecil is leaning on another machine near his two squadmates. Oxblood has not been formally disciplined yet...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *a brown-haired, rather average-looking guy walks up to Oxblood's simchamber-deal* Excuse me, sir.
PapatymisonN: Yes?
Lithaladhwen: *Helena is watching people play video games, because she STILL doesn't understand the attraction to a device that exists to waste time.*
PapatymisonN: *still concentrating on the sim*
T3chn0Namagomi: I couldn't help but notice that you're in the middle of an AI simulation. I've noticed that they don't really help so much as an active simchamber duel between pilots, so...
PapatymisonN: *switches to the Main Menu* Hook up.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm offering, you could say, a "duel of honor"...
Arch mage144: *Some really hot chick is apparently watching Zeiren play intently; she's tall and thin, with waist-length hair the color of charcoal and the most amazingly perfect set of boobs ever formed by mortal genes...*
PapatymisonN: *prepares a 1 on 1 battle sim*
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah! But here's the catch. I don't like it when there isn't anything on the line...so I have an interesting idea
Lithaladhwen: (Goodness! Hot womens!)
T3chn0Namagomi: The loser does one thing the winner asks him to...no questions asked.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I still don't get it. Why would you want to spend your time getting rid of your time?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...!!!
PapatymisonN: ... who the hell are you?
T3chn0Namagomi: *gazes at the hot chick!*
PapatymisonN: (*knows*)
Arch mage144: *Hot chick winks*
T3chn0Namagomi: Just someone who likes their duels a bit more interesting than normal.
PapatymisonN: ... .. *puts it together* You're that asshole Zeiren's roommate, aren't you?
CGNakibe: C'mon... Cmon...
T3chn0Namagomi: Now, now. Personally, I don't care that you did anything to him.
CGNakibe: GAH... *dodge dodge duck*
T3chn0Namagomi: >_>!!!
T3chn0Namagomi: *totally obliterated by projectiles*
CGNakibe: *plays Z-Type 6*
T3chn0Namagomi: I just like my duels to have something on the line. Keeps me hyped.
T3chn0Namagomi: So, how about it?
CGNakibe: I... Hate... HATE.....
PapatymisonN: ... Get in.
CGNakibe: Stupid boss ships. -.-;;
PapatymisonN: *prepares himself* You Tek or Machinist?
T3chn0Namagomi: Aaa---hey! You're looking particularly good today!
T3chn0Namagomi: You should know once it begins...
T3chn0Namagomi: *Entry name: Rouma Ayr. Oxblood's likely heard of this guy.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *High ranking member of Nu Squadron...*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell, I feel sporting, so...
CGNakibe: I HATE this boss.
CGNakibe: So many projectiles.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...you pick the locale.
CGNakibe: So few openings. ;_;
PapatymisonN: ... *grin*
PapatymisonN: Gwa'AAG Plains.
Arch mage144: Particularly good? *blinks*
T3chn0Namagomi: So be it.
Arch mage144: How would you know when you've never seen me before! *giggle*
T3chn0Namagomi: *starting distance is automatically set at half a mile...*
Lithaladhwen: *glances at the chick talking to Zeiren*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Maybe he'll get in bed with her. If he did, I wonder if he'd act differently around me.
PapatymisonN: (How we doing this, Nama?)
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, today, you definitely look good. ^^ *oblivious to his pwnination*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Perhaps some sex would calm him down.
CGNakibe: (Quinn: *sniff sniff* Kids grow up so fast.... its so beautiful!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I had the idea of potentially running a short one-on-one combat, but...up to Brian.)
Arch mage144: Of course I do! *giggles and walks over to the pilot*
Lithaladhwen: IM: She giggles entirely too much.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Children.
Arch mage144: (I would rather not clutter up the chat with so many dice right now.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Given the comparative stats, the fight would likely be one-sided anyway.)
Lithaladhwen: (Did you twink the NPC, Nama?)
Arch mage144: (The amount of OOC involved is going to be too large. It's a simulator. Roll a quick contest of piloting skill.)
OnlineHost: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 1
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 3 5
PapatymisonN: (Damn.)
Arch mage144: What're you doing? *looks intently at the game machine*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Soundly trounces him!*
PapatymisonN: ... fine. Nice battle. What do you want?
T3chn0Namagomi: Err, this would happen to be Intangible and Absent Strength. I'm still trying to get used to it.
Arch mage144: Oh, I see!
Arch mage144: *appears to be thinking about this*
Arch mage144: *she's definitely hot, but she might not be the sharpest vibroblade in the hangar*
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, it's not much. See, some large maniac beat down my door and woke me up while I was sleeping, so I decided to commission a new door; a reinforced one. Problem is, door's arrived, but nobody's come to install it.
Lithaladhwen: IM: She's quiet when she isn't giggling. Maybe I can switch her for my roommate.
T3chn0Namagomi: So...you get to put it up. On your own.
Arch mage144: Sooooo...
Lithaladhwen: IM: Soap operas. Last night it was reruns... of soap operas.
PapatymisonN: Kay.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Who watches reruns of soaps?
PapatymisonN: I have no problem with that.
PapatymisonN: *gets a little closer* But make no mistake.
T3chn0Namagomi: Starting right now. And it will be properly installed.
T3chn0Namagomi: There is no "or else."
CGNakibe: *BOOM* Dammit. >.<
Arch mage144: Are you always this intense? *blinks and looks Zeiren up and down*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Meanwhile, Oxblood seems to be having some sort of problem.
Arch mage144: I think you lost your game. *points*
PapatymisonN: That albatross you call a roommate insults me AGAIN, I'll knock that door down again, and beat him against YOUR stuff just to make my point, got it?
CGNakibe: *turns to Zeiren* Stupid thing got me.... Hey.
T3chn0Namagomi: *sweatdrop* AAAAAHHHH!!!
Arch mage144: (Albatross?)
Arch mage144: (That's the most random insult ever)
CGNakibe: Better luck next time, Zeiren.
PapatymisonN: (Around his neck.)
Lithaladhwen: IM: Is he going to get in another fight?
PapatymisonN: (You've... never heard that saying? o.o)
T3chn0Namagomi: No. Because if you do, I will call security and have you reprimanded for destruction of property, breaking and entering, and assault and battery on a cadet.
Arch mage144: Games like that are boring. Why don't you play with me instead? *genki eyes*
PapatymisonN: And I'll be jailed, or expelled, or both.
PapatymisonN: I don't care. e_e
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I don't know what they're talking about.
Lithaladhwen: IM: But I think Oxblood is going to do something stupid.
T3chn0Namagomi: Are you sure. All that you've been working towards, for naught. Have you no pride in your status here?
CGNakibe: *looks ove the new girl* IM: Awful forward. >.>
T3chn0Namagomi: Errr....
Lithaladhwen: *walks her thirty-something-looking ass over to Oxblood and his pal* Hey guys.
PapatymisonN: I don't, if guys like Zeiren are running the show.
PapatymisonN: ... Hel.
PapatymisonN: *nod*
Lithaladhwen: Oxblood.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...no...no...sex will just cause issues...
CGNakibe: Zei?
Lithaladhwen: Who's your friend?
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Huh?
T3chn0Namagomi: Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
CGNakibe: Zeiren. You're going to have to clean that drool up off the floor. <.<
PapatymisonN: This is Rouma Ayr, Zeiren's roommate.
PapatymisonN: Nu Squad.
T3chn0Namagomi: Private First Class Rouma Ayr of Nu Squadron
Arch mage144: *pouts* You're so distracted! It's no fun! *turns around and starts to walk away*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. My name is Helena. Nice to meet you.
T3chn0Namagomi: *bows, and handshakes*
Lithaladhwen: *shakes* I'm actually hoping that I won't have to keep my squadmate from getting in more fights. You doing okay, Oxblood?
T3chn0Namagomi: @_@ I can't believe I lost again...
PapatymisonN: Him I have no issue with.
PapatymisonN: He's actually coming off as an honourable warrior.
T3chn0Namagomi: *goes back to Intangible and Absent Strength, having to start over*
PapatymisonN: It's the company he keeps that annoys me.
Arch mage144: *looks back over her shoulder at Zeiren*
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
T3chn0Namagomi: Now, now. If it weren't for me, Aslan would be a bitter recluse, forever locked in his room.
PapatymisonN: And that's where you went wrong.
Lithaladhwen: *smirks* Lord. I don't know what to do with you guys. I just don't understand you.
CGNakibe: *ribs Zeiren* What? You not gonna go after her?
T3chn0Namagomi: People should enjoy life. In this time of war, it's not like we know when we will die next.
Arch mage144: (BRB)
Lithaladhwen: I'm inclined to agree.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< She seemed uninterested, remember? And...*whisper* A tad airheaded...
Lithaladhwen: But that doesn't change that everyone here is crazy. *shrug*
CGNakibe: WHAT?
T3chn0Namagomi: *w* Plus, I don't go as far as sex.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* HAHAH....
Lithaladhwen: I mean, Zeiren dumped something on Oxblood totally at random, Oxblood broke down a door, Tareen is obsessed with pudding, Makura is an ass and his family is betraying us or something, and Serran is... inscrutable.
T3chn0Namagomi: *w* Too many things tying you down after that, you know?
Lithaladhwen: I can't make head nor tail of it.
PapatymisonN: It's not a squad, it's a family. >.>
T3chn0Namagomi: *chuckles* Ahh, he's changed so much. How's he doing in that Cursed Armor I gave him, anyway?
Lithaladhwen: I guess it yells at him, though I still haven't thought of a way to talk to it myself.
Lithaladhwen: So I couldn't say.
CGNakibe: *makes a show of yawning* Yeah yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh...that's all it does? I'm surprised.
CGNakibe: Sounds like you're scared to me, though. Just a thought.
CGNakibe: *watching Zeiren's game*... Oooh. That's gotta hurt.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I don't mess with his machine or the creature inhabiting it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Huh? UWAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! O_O
T3chn0Namagomi: With the stories I've heard about that thing, I'm surprised it hasn't rushed headlong into the fray against his wishes...
OnlineHost: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 5 1
T3chn0Namagomi: *luckily, makes a comeback!*
Lithaladhwen: I think he does it willingly.
T3chn0Namagomi: *laughs* He get blown up at all?
CGNakibe: *tsk tsk* You play that game WAAAY too riskily.
T3chn0Namagomi: Whew...that was close...
Lithaladhwen: Not as much as I have. *grins*
T3chn0Namagomi: I need to stop talking to other people while I play this...
PapatymisonN: *taps Rouma on the shoulder*
PapatymisonN: Where the hell's the door?
T3chn0Namagomi: I'll escort you there. As I have to oversee it anyway...
CGNakibe: Sorry if I distract you, Zeiren.
CGNakibe: *puts in a couple quarters* I'll have to DO something 'bout that.
PapatymisonN: *nod*
T3chn0Namagomi: *goes to dormitory F-910...the new door; which appears to be a special request of Rouma's...sits along the wall outside*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...dear GOD that thing looks thick as hell*
PapatymisonN: *just happens to have tools ready!*
Lithaladhwen: *hangs around the arcade, and looks over Zeiren's shoulder*
T3chn0Namagomi: Playing against me, eh?
Arch mage144: *turns around completely, looking back at Zeiren* You seriously botched your flirt check!
Lithaladhwen: Seriously. What is the objective of this game? Serran? Could you explain it?
T3chn0Namagomi: You're the one that walked off!
Arch mage144: *is it just Zeiren, or are her boobs bigger than they were before*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o;
Arch mage144: You're ignoring me! *footstamp*
PapatymisonN: *begins installing it* Just so you know, this will only slow me down.
Lithaladhwen: Zeiren, your woman needs some attention. Can't you just go have sex with her?
Lithaladhwen: I'm sure you'll all feel better.
CGNakibe: To make Zeiren go chase that hot girl.
CGNakibe: Oh, wait, you mean in GENERAL? Its to beat the other guy. ^^
T3chn0Namagomi: Not really. This thing takes explosives to knock off of its hinges.
Lithaladhwen: *to Serran* How?
CGNakibe: *The screen is filled with lasers*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and KNIVES!*
PapatymisonN: If you say so...
CGNakibe: Certain button combinations cause them to cast spells, see?
T3chn0Namagomi: *And...ricocheting knives! And delayed-movement knives!*
PapatymisonN: ... seriously, Rouma. Don't defend him.
PapatymisonN: He's not worth the breath.
Arch mage144: *sighs huffily and glomps Zeiran*
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't care about him.
CGNakibe: *Spell card!*
CGNakibe: >.> *snickers*
T3chn0Namagomi: I care about my sleep.
T3chn0Namagomi: O_O
PapatymisonN: Then shove him out the door if there's a next time.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Distracted!*
T3chn0Namagomi: Now, now. It's his dormitory too.
Lithaladhwen: Zeiren. Just go have sex with her. I'm trying to ask Serran about the game.
Lithaladhwen: You're both distracting.
Lithaladhwen: Serran, why are the two fighting/
Lithaladhwen: *?
PapatymisonN: Then you'll be protecting HIS belongings, too.
Lithaladhwen: Are they just here, or is there a story?
T3chn0Namagomi: Err, I don't go that far, you know *to the girl* o_o;
Arch mage144: *Zeiren has a pair of practically perfect boobs being pressed into his back*
CGNakibe: Doesn't really matter. Some stupid reason. *shrugs* Its a fighting game, though, so the whole point is just that they're fighting.
Lithaladhwen: I see.
CGNakibe: *snickers again*
Lithaladhwen: Why are they dressed that way?
T3chn0Namagomi: If he seeks shelter here, that's his choice.
CGNakibe: Probably because the art directors thought it would make them look more "fearsome"
T3chn0Namagomi: *nervously sweating!*
Lithaladhwen: ...Oh. Who are the art directors?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: game...boobs...game...boobs...game...boobs...
PapatymisonN: And if you want to recall that shelter from him, that's YOURS.
Arch mage144: *the girl worms her way around so that she's practically wrapped around him, her face very close to his*
PapatymisonN: We all make choices.
PapatymisonN: He chose to piss me off. I chose to shake him up. You chose to make me do this.
T3chn0Namagomi: I choose not to deny him the room. He was assigned here, and thus he is free to enter.
Arch mage144: *she blinks at him curiously*
T3chn0Namagomi: Personally, I don't care what he or you did in regards to each other
Lithaladhwen: *w to Serran* Does this happen to him often?
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks extremely tense*
PapatymisonN: Just keep it out of your room?
T3chn0Namagomi: Just don't break my stuff or wake me up.
PapatymisonN: Then YOU'VE got a choice.
PapatymisonN: Either talk some SENSE into that idiot, or keep a door control next to your bed.
PapatymisonN: *finishes* See you out there.
Arch mage144: *looks between Zeiren and the game console rapidly*
PapatymisonN: *walks off*
T3chn0Namagomi: Otherwise, you'll find yourself unable to ever fight anyone else in the simchamber.
Arch mage144: Ummm...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: GAME...BOOBS...GAME...BOOBS...
Lithaladhwen: IM: I have never seen a woman do this to him, but I've never really seen him with women.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm surprised he isn't going with her.
PapatymisonN: Why no one here has a real sense of honour is beyond me... *is gone now...*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I guessed that he would. I was apparently incorrect.
PapatymisonN: *heads to the mess hall and gets some meat/
T3chn0Namagomi: *lets Serran win*
PapatymisonN: *
Arch mage144: *still about an inch away from Zeiren's face*
CGNakibe: *CRUSH*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o; Err, who are you, anyway?
CGNakibe: *w* You know, I think this is the first time he's had a girl that wanted him this badly?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I should keep an eye on them. Though this seems unusual to me, I could be wrong.
CGNakibe: *to Helena, I mean*
Lithaladhwen: *w* Oh. It seemed odd, but I didn't know whether I was right about that. I have limited evidence.
Arch mage144: Just a girl!
T3chn0Namagomi: Just a girl, huh?
Lithaladhwen: ...
CGNakibe: *w* Now that you mention it..... >.>
Arch mage144: Yeah.
CGNakibe: *w* Is that girl desperate?
Arch mage144: ...intangible is a funny word.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Lithaladhwen: *w* I'm a little suspicious. I've never known a woman not to give a name, at least.
Lithaladhwen: ........
Arch mage144: *releases Zeiren, frowns, and suddenly runs off*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...boobs...but dumb boobs...
Lithaladhwen: .....
Lithaladhwen: Funny word?
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o;
Lithaladhwen: Zeiren. You should go get her some pudding. She'll love you forever.
T3chn0Namagomi: *standing there, looking quite confused*
Arch mage144: Cecil: *looks like he's going to burst out laughing*
T3chn0Namagomi: *examining the door to make sure everything is EXTREMELY secure*
PapatymisonN: *it is. True to his word, he did an excellent job*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Good. Now nobody can break it down again. ^.^
T3chn0Namagomi: *goes back in...probably to sleep or somesuch*
T3chn0Namagomi: o_o;
Lithaladhwen: Well?
PapatymisonN: *you just got the Huns to build your city walls for you, Nero*
T3chn0Namagomi: I...think she somehow survived an illithid attack...
Lithaladhwen: No.
Lithaladhwen: I think you need to go to the mess hall.
Lithaladhwen: And get her some pudding.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Bah-ha-ha-ha!
PapatymisonN: *eating meatloaf. ... no, scratch that. _A_ meatloaf.*
CGNakibe: Are you sure? Maybe she wouldn't like pudding.
Lithaladhwen: No, she will.
T3chn0Namagomi: If she went there...*heads to the mess hall*
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: He's doing it!
PapatymisonN: *when he arrives, he pays him no mind*
Arch mage144: o_o What was that all about?
PapatymisonN: *just lets himself be himself*
Lithaladhwen: *just laughs*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: But...hnn...
Lithaladhwen: I hope she gets him. That would be perfect.
CGNakibe: *does as well* I have NEVER seen a guy so BROKEN by boobs before. XD
Arch mage144: He seemed really uncomfortable. o_o
Arch mage144: I've seen patients be more calm during surgery!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And looking in a form that's considered one of her defaults, she comes back where Helena and the others are!*
Arch mage144: ...and they weren't anaesthetized, so don't even say it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I can't believe he fell for that.
Lithaladhwen: I can.
CGNakibe: *snickers* Oh, I won't, I won't!
Lithaladhwen: Tareen, I owe you... a drink. Or something.
Lithaladhwen: That made my day.
CGNakibe: Two drinks.
CGNakibe: One from me too.
Arch mage144: Wait a minute. That was you?
Arch mage144: *laughing*
Lithaladhwen: You've made us all very happy. *nods*
Arch mage144: ...he's going to be very disappointed when he gets pudding and can't find her.
CGNakibe: I don't know.
TheWaiChibiAngel: He went to get me pudding?
CGNakibe: I'm sure she'd appreciate the pudding. *snickers*
Arch mage144: He may have.
Lithaladhwen: I told him to do it.
Lithaladhwen: I said that if he got the girl pudding, she'd sleep with him.
T3chn0Namagomi: *It's probably obvious that said girl isn't here!*
Lithaladhwen: And be very pleased with him in general.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ew!
Lithaladhwen: *laugh*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o;
PapatymisonN: *chew chew... drink a Volt...*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Ew. It's Stinky.
Arch mage144: *intercom: DELTA UNIT. REPORT TO BRIEFING ROOM IMMEDIATELY.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks back out of the cafeteria, when...*
Lithaladhwen: Well, hell. Fun over.
Lithaladhwen: *goes*
T3chn0Namagomi: Aw, man!
T3chn0Namagomi: *runs to the briefing room!*
CGNakibe: Dammit.
Lithaladhwen: *dragging her big ol' metal staff with her*
CGNakibe: *makes his way at some speed to the briefing room.*
PapatymisonN: *heads to the brief room himself, steps behind Zeiren*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Go!*
Arch mage144: *Commander Herzog is sitting in his chair, hands folded*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Looks at Zeiren, and can't help but snort.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Hehehe, 'intangible".
Lithaladhwen: (Uh oh. Gendou pose.)
T3chn0Namagomi: <_<!
Arch mage144: Giles: Hey, team.
Lithaladhwen: (Something bad's gonna happen.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Greetings, Commander.
PapatymisonN: *sits*
Arch mage144: Giles: You ready to interrogate the Kuragari sister? That's the first order of business today.
CGNakibe: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: Yeeeup.
CGNakibe: You think she won't kill herself today?
T3chn0Namagomi: If she's tied down properly, she won't, so...
Lithaladhwen: If she does, we can still interrogate her. No reason to be all jumpy about it.
Arch mage144: G: The second order of business, which I am only going to briefly mention here...is that intentionally damaging military property is a crime.
PapatymisonN: *stone faced* e_e
Arch mage144: G: And it will not be tolerated, for any reason.
Arch mage144: G: Especially outside of a combat scenario where it might be a life-or-death situation.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What?
Arch mage144: G: Incidentally, Mazuo, your hovercycle has been replaced.
Lithaladhwen: Thank you.
Lithaladhwen: My armor?
Arch mage144: G: I don't think it's quite ready yet, but they're finishing up the modifications.
Arch mage144: G: You'll be prepared when deployment is ordered. After we get through with Elsa you're getting temporarily re-stationed.
T3chn0Namagomi: To the seashore base?
Lithaladhwen: Fantastic.
Arch mage144: G: Correct. I've taken the liberty of ordering modifications to each of your armors for undersea combat.
Arch mage144: G: That includes your battlesuits, Nueva, Mazuo, and Elmine.
Arch mage144: G: We'll go over the details later. Let's head to the maximum security brig.
CGNakibe: Yes sir.
PapatymisonN: *nods, and stands...*
T3chn0Namagomi: Affirmative.
CGNakibe: *stands as well*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, okay.
PapatymisonN: *waits until he can get the commander a bit away from the group*
Arch mage144: G: *leads the way through the installation, flashing his ID at a bunch of people along the way*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Hee, Brig.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Follows!*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I miss doing that.
PapatymisonN: IM: Dammit. Guess he's making me wait...
TheWaiChibiAngel: .....*Snorts at Zeiren again.*
T3chn0Namagomi: <_<...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* I can't believe you fell for that!
T3chn0Namagomi: *w* I can't believe you maintained sanity long enough to pull that off. *snickering*
Arch mage144: *the group passes through one last security checkpoint...*
Arch mage144: G: She's down there. Last cell. Have fun. Press that button when you want to get out. *indicates a computer pad at the door*
Lithaladhwen: So, who's going to talk to her?
Lithaladhwen: Are we going to gang up on her, or is someone going to go in?
CGNakibe: that's a good question.
Arch mage144: G: I'm not. I've had enough of her. I'll meet up with you when you're finished. *salutes and goes out into a side room of some sort*
PapatymisonN: *how are the cells designed?*
CGNakibe: Really this doesn't sound like the best thing for me.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I would volunteer, but she's so screwed up in the head that nothing I do will really work.
CGNakibe: You could offer her pudding. *snickers*
Arch mage144: *The cells are small rooms with bunk beds, sinks, and toilets that line the left and right of the hallway*
T3chn0Namagomi: *snickers*
Arch mage144: *Instead of bars, there's a transparent force-field*
Lithaladhwen: ...Am I going to have to do this?
PapatymisonN: *perfect.*
Arch mage144: *Each cell has a control panel next to it that presumably adjusts the force-field and other cell conditions*
Lithaladhwen: I mean, I can.
PapatymisonN: I'll stay outside the cell.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Yeah, you do that, Stinky.
Arch mage144: Cecil: It's not like we have to go inside her cell to talk to her.
Lithaladhwen: *pulls her braid around over her shoulder and strokes it thoughtfully, because that's what you do with too much hair*
PapatymisonN: ...
Arch mage144: C: Unless you were planning to torture her or something.
PapatymisonN: (Oh, shit.)
CGNakibe: Cut it out. We've got business to attend to.
T3chn0Namagomi: Now, now. It's his callsign now!
Lithaladhwen: *to Cecil* Not physically.
PapatymisonN: ...
Lithaladhwen: And what's mine? Spooky?
Lithaladhwen: Gods.
PapatymisonN: Tell Rouma I'm sorry his new door got smashed in next time I see him. e_e
Lithaladhwen: Quit it, guys.
PapatymisonN: *you
Arch mage144: *looks a little queasy at the thought of torture*
Arch mage144: *from down the hall, which isn't exactly soundproof, the sounds of someone being scolded for tardiness are heard*
Lithaladhwen: If you guys can't be adults, you'll wish you were Elsa instead of my teammate. So please.
Lithaladhwen: Be civil?
T3chn0Namagomi: ^^ I am.
PapatymisonN: .... e_e
Lithaladhwen: You aren't. You're a wiseass. And Oxblood is overly sensitive.
Lithaladhwen: You're both being children.
Lithaladhwen: I don't mind ordinarily, but don't let it interfere.
PapatymisonN: I won't.
T3chn0Namagomi: *grinning*
Lithaladhwen: Can we interrogate the prisoner now?
PapatymisonN: IM: The instant we're back from the aquabase.
OMG Priam has entered the room.
PapatymisonN: IM: THE INSTANT. eVe
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Priam.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Oooh...heat controls? ^.^
T3chn0Namagomi: *an evil thought comes into Zeiren's mind*
Arch mage144: *Controls on the panels make it theoretically to adjust everything from light and temperature to oxygen concentration within the cells*
CGNakibe: Bad Zeiren. >.>
CGNakibe: No simulating the desert in the climate controlled cell.
CGNakibe: .... yet.
Arch mage144: *They're potentially self-contained enough to set up a completely different environment if necessary*
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Now, now, you had your fun, let me have mine. *chuckles*
Arch mage144: *theoretically possible
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oooh, can I play with it?
T3chn0Namagomi: Later.
Lithaladhwen: I don't like this weird invisible barrier bullshit. This isn't intimate enough. Is there a way I can get in? Zeiren, Tareen? We either need to mess with the controls before I go in, or after I'm out.
Lithaladhwen: But I do want in.
PapatymisonN: *points at a button* I think that does it.
Arch mage144: *the cell block's hallway door whooshes open, and a mildly agitated CO Herzog is standing with Mage Private Redford*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Hey!
TheWaiChibiAngel: It's that guy!
Lithaladhwen: *Is there someplace for her to sit in the cell, or does Hel have to stand or sit on the floor?*
OMG Priam: Comrades.
T3chn0Namagomi: That guy that tried to run the operation for us, yeah.
CGNakibe: Hey.
Lithaladhwen: Hey, Redford. Thank the gods.
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods to Redford*
Arch mage144: Giles: It's a damned good thing that I didn't have anything important to say during the briefing, Private!
Lithaladhwen: Sanity. You brought some, right?
CGNakibe: We were about to have a nice little chat with the crazy drow girl. I assume you're coming along?
OMG Priam: My apologies, sir!
Arch mage144: Giles: Oh, just so we're clear on this, troops. You can use any methods necessary to extract information from her. She's a terrorist. She has no rights.
OMG Priam: *turns to Serran, and nods*
Lithaladhwen: Okay!
PapatymisonN: ... just what I wanted to hear...
Arch mage144: G: But you can't kill her. I don't care if you can talk to ghosts.
T3chn0Namagomi: Indeed! *grinning*
Lithaladhwen: I won't kill her. She'll probably kill herself eventually anyway. May I go in now?
T3chn0Namagomi: *hits the button*
Arch mage144: G: Do as you want. The central guard station has unlocked the protection on her cell controls.
Lithaladhwen: Cool.
PapatymisonN: *stands in the way, in case the prisoner tries to bolt*
Arch mage144: *Elsa Kuragari's cell is slightly different from the others...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *...oh?*
Arch mage144: *She's not able to go anyfuckingwhere because she has been affixed to a metal slab in an upright position by about a dozen restraints*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Can I go in, too?
Lithaladhwen: Why not. Let's all go hang out with her.
Arch mage144: *Her limbs are all individually restrained, and she's not even able to turn her head*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Has she undergone reconstructive surgery yet?*
CGNakibe: Sounds like a waste of a perfectly good day to me.
Lithaladhwen: *Are there any chairs in there?*
Arch mage144: *No*
Arch mage144: *She still looks like someone who has tried to commit suicide by shooting themself in the face with a blaster pistol and failed*
Lithaladhwen: *Sits cross-legged on the floor in front of Elsa so they can still make eye-contact when necessary* Hey. You look good. Did you do something with your hair?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah, it is a good waste of a day. She still isn't that hot.
Lithaladhwen: *picks some dirt off her shoe and flicks it on the floor*
Arch mage144: *Most of her face is covered in blue-black burns and blistered flesh, and a good bit of her hair has been singed away*
OMG Priam: *stands by the door, military 'at-ease' stance*
CGNakibe: *seems to be keeping at a fair distance from her, despite her condition.*
Arch mage144: *She's also clearly being sedated heavily enough that she can barely hold her eyes open, and she takes little notice of the group*
PapatymisonN: *stands beyond the door, smiling gleefully at the disfigured girl...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Heads in!*
PapatymisonN: IM: If I get a chance at her... I will let her be THERAPY.
Lithaladhwen: Damn. She can respond, right?
Lithaladhwen: Elsa. *snaps her fingers* You there?
Arch mage144: Cecil: I'm going to administer something to detoxify her and a stimulant to counteract the sedatives.
PapatymisonN: IM: I will let all this anger and hate and rage pour out right o her head...
Lithaladhwen: Please? You're my saviour.
T3chn0Namagomi: You do that, please.
PapatymisonN: *on
PapatymisonN: IM: Bliss. Pure bliss. ^_^
Arch mage144: *he sets down a rectangular box-like backpack, pops it open, and produces a hypodermic needle and a set of thumb-sized glass vials filled with variously colored liquids*
Lithaladhwen: *rolls her staff back and forth on the floor boredly*
PapatymisonN: IM: Oh. And if Hel doesn't figure out the angle in my head, I'll ask for a chance.
Arch mage144: *he carefully draws something into the syringe and injects it into the vein in her arm*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I still say we blow everything up.
Lithaladhwen: Hm.
Lithaladhwen: *looks up at Cecil from her place on the floor and watches the medical stuffs*
T3chn0Namagomi: *simply watches*
Arch mage144: *Elsa stirs a bit while Cecil frowns, presses a button on the side of his syringe, and releases the needle, allowing a new needle to spring into place*
OMG Priam: *is quite a pair with Mr. Smashy McOrcington, juxtaposing his I-kill-everything grin with his own Man-I-Sure-Love-Dismemberment scowl*
Lithaladhwen: (Hee.)
Arch mage144: *he draws up some other chemical, apparently being very cautious about the dose, and rechecks it several times*
CGNakibe: (hahaha)
Arch mage144: I don't want to overdo it. If she goes into cardiac arrest she's not going to be all that talkative.
PapatymisonN: (See, Smashy is a callsign he'd MUCH prefer!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Too bad)
PapatymisonN: Don't let me at her, then.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. Your call.
Arch mage144: *flicks the needle and jabs it into her other vein*
PapatymisonN: I'll make SURE she has one. ^_^
Arch mage144: *Elsa cries out in pain*
Lithaladhwen: ...
Arch mage144: Oh, yeah...that one burns...
T3chn0Namagomi: Now, now. That would be counteractive to what we're trying to do.
OMG Priam: Calm down. It's no good if she can't feel.
CGNakibe: Someone sounds a little TOO pleased by that idea. >.>
PapatymisonN: *grins wider*
Arch mage144: ...sorry about that...
Lithaladhwen: She all right, Cecil?
Lithaladhwen: IM: It's almost endearing how concerned he is about correct medical procedure. Almost. It's mostly confusing.
Arch mage144: *Elsa's eyes widen*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hey!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Stop jabbing her with stuff.
Arch mage144: Elsa: BASTARDS!
CGNakibe: I know who my parents are, thanks.
PapatymisonN: Nice to see you too.
Besyanteo has entered the room.
PapatymisonN: ... almost. ^_^
Lithaladhwen: Oh, man....*pushes on her knee to help herself stand*
Arch mage144: Elsa: Whatever, CFIN scum...
Lithaladhwen: Hey, kiddo. How are ya?
CGNakibe: We love you too.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hi there to you too, cutie. ^.^ I take it this isn't one of your better days, as far as looks go.
Lithaladhwen: IM: We're all going to taunt her for a while, which I find totally unproductive. I think I'll sit out until the others are done.
CGNakibe: As you can probably guess, we have questions. We would like you to answer them.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Thank you Serran. Much prefer to be straightforward.
Arch mage144: Cecil: *cycles another needle into his syringe and sits on the bed* I'll be here if we need to do anything...else...
Arch mage144: Elsa: I'll bet you do.
T3chn0Namagomi: So, cooperate, and I'll try to see to it that you get that face looking good as new.
Arch mage144: E: I'm not going to tell you anything.
Lithaladhwen: *rolls her eyes*
CGNakibe: *yawns* That answer bores me.
Arch mage144: E: What's all this about my face, dog?
TheWaiChibiAngel: What if we ask real nicely?
PapatymisonN: ... you don't know?
PapatymisonN: Please, someone get the lady a mirror...
Lithaladhwen: *facepalm*
CGNakibe: Maybe later.
OMG Priam: *gwoon, that's the spellcasting noise* (Find Weakness on her)
Lithaladhwen: I don't carry one, sorry.
PapatymisonN: Oh, but she deserves to know...
T3chn0Namagomi: ^^ You fucked it up with that compact particle rifle of yours.
CGNakibe: Anyway, we know you'd rather be... well, uncommunicative...
Lithaladhwen: *sits back down on the floor*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Yeah. They can do this for a while.
CGNakibe: *Grins* But I'd personally prefer it if you reconsidered that unwise course of action.
Arch mage144: *Elsa's weakest point is her left radius, which she presumably cracked as a result of the impact caused by Zeiren shaking her escape pod*
PapatymisonN: *where's the commander?*
Arch mage144: *He's not here.*
Lithaladhwen: *taps on the bottom of her shoe absently*
PapatymisonN: *kay.*
PapatymisonN: IM: Mirror... Mirror...
OMG Priam: .....*approaches*
Arch mage144: E: Going to torture me, then, since I won't tell you anything?
Lithaladhwen: Here's an easy question, Elsa. And one that doesn't reveal any secret plans.
OMG Priam: *poke poke at that one spot*
Lithaladhwen: So it's okay to answer, okay? We won't learn anything dangerous, I think.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Arch mage144: E: My...*cries out*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hey!
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
OMG Priam: *shrugs. Walks back.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Stop hurting her!
CGNakibe: >.>
PapatymisonN: ... patience, Redford.
Lithaladhwen: Well, that's nice. This is very chaotic and nice.
T3chn0Namagomi: Maybe you'll talk now?
PapatymisonN: Let her simmer first. ^_^
Lithaladhwen: Anyway, Elsa. If my allies are done... apparently poking you.
Arch mage144: E: Are you an idiot? You think just because you can hurt me I'm going to tell you anything?
Lithaladhwen: Hey now. I just want to know something really easy that's been eluding me.
Lithaladhwen: What the hell is your problem?
PapatymisonN: IM: Huh. That IS a good question.
Arch mage144: E: *raises an eyebrow...the one that hasn't been burned off*
CGNakibe: IM: That's a great question to start with.
Lithaladhwen: That doesn't tell me anything confidential, does it?
Arch mage144: E: My problem? What the hell are you talking about?
Lithaladhwen: You've obviously got some deep-seated issues with CFIN that I don't understand. Elucidate.
Arch mage144: E: Hah! You wouldn't get that part, would you?
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, we would. Elaborate, if you would.
Lithaladhwen: Well, you would. So explain it to me, who wouldn't.
Lithaladhwen: And maybe somehow I will.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Why are they so against this organization I'm part of? What have "we" done?
CGNakibe: What has the CFIN done for you lately?
CGNakibe: Or done to you in general.
PapatymisonN: (It drove a Ford.)
OMG Priam: *walks out of view*
Arch mage144: E: You people screwed up, back when war raged on Ka'thalar. You picked the wrong side. You had to go and decide that the people living on the surface were right and we were all to be exterminated!
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: Oh.
OMG Priam: im: She knows she's in a very bad position. And there's more than enough cooks to spoil this broth. My work here is done. Just sit back and listen...
CGNakibe: Ka'thalar?
Lithaladhwen: When was that? I wasn't here for it. I'm sure you remember, Elsa. History lesson?
CGNakibe: IM: When was the last time we were THERE?
Arch mage144: E: You rounded up drow on this continent and jailed them when they had nothing to do with it, suspecting them as "underground" supporters of the drow in the war!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Scoots back towards the good Private*
OMG Priam: (We're all Privates, I think. Except Helena.)
Lithaladhwen: ....Well, that sucks. I did that? I must be getting old. My memory is going. What else did I do?
CGNakibe: (Private Public?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I am not :D)
OMG Priam: (O SNAP)
Arch mage144: E: You imprisoned them and left them to fend for themselves, denied them food or water or rights, forced even their descendants to register with the government, refused to allow them positions of power, revoked suffrage...
Arch mage144: E: How could you forget that!?
Lithaladhwen: ....
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Glances over! Then down. ..Then over! Then down. Over, down, over, down.*
T3chn0Namagomi: Personally, I didn't have anything to do with that.
Lithaladhwen: Huh.
Lithaladhwen: I did all that?
PapatymisonN: (Question: How does this link up with the history the cadets have been taught?)
Arch mage144: E: How could you forget what you people did? How could you forget what the drow of Igala did to help build it?
Arch mage144: (Somewhat. She's telling the truth, it's just that it's clear that she has a very personal connection to the events.)
Lithaladhwen: Okay, Elsa. I wasn't here. I wasn't in the military then, which I apparently am now. That's why I'm asking you.
Lithaladhwen: From what you're telling me... well, I'd be pissed, too.
CGNakibe: Sounds like it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Cough*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Why did she cough!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: You're that one guy.
CGNakibe: So this is personal for you, huh? Very, very personal.
T3chn0Namagomi: I can indeed see where you are coming from.
OMG Priam: *looks*
OMG Priam: *That's about as much acknowledgement as Tareen is going to get for now*
T3chn0Namagomi: Personally, I don't understand why society goes to those ends either.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Oh, ew. This is a nationalism issue. They're like... fighting for their race or something.
CGNakibe: Why you? Why not some other person?
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is going to be messy.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...You were mean and froze my pudding.
OMG Priam: *continues looking*
CGNakibe: (hahah)
Lithaladhwen: Crap.
CGNakibe: (You may forget, but the PUDDING remembers, Redford.)
CGNakibe: (The pudding remembers. e.e)
Arch mage144: E: What do you mean, why me?
CGNakibe: Eh. Nevermind. IM: Nice job of dorking it up. *thinks*
Arch mage144: E: My family lived on this continent centuries before your great-great-great grandparents were sucking on teats.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..You did. ._.
CGNakibe: IM: ... wait... maybe... Hm. *think think*
OMG Priam: *continues looking*
Lithaladhwen: *to Tareen* She may be right. You remember?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Oooooohhh.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I get it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Staring contest.
PapatymisonN: IM: Crush her foot first? No, her leg, that's easier.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Looks right back!*
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: Okay. So I understand your problem. You answered my question.
PapatymisonN: IM: Then after that, the fun.
Lithaladhwen: That was really my big one.
CGNakibe: *w* Any other questions like that, Hel?
Lithaladhwen: Probably, yeah.
CGNakibe: *w* Although this... yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: So, you've decided to go on crusade against the CFIN as a matter of revenge, I take it.
Arch mage144: E: They were proud people, CFIN dogs. They lead the oppressed lower classes to revolution, and the drow of Doma became respected and feared, but just and fair.
OMG Priam: *turns back to face the wall.*
OMG Priam: im: And these are the people who constantly look down upon me. I cannot fathom how they manage it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ah! I win.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Elsa? You mind if I'm honest with you? I don't care about your revenge, and I don't care about CFIN answering for its sins or not. Honestly, this is all beneath my concern.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Rematch?
Arch mage144: E: *spits* It would be.
Lithaladhwen: I don't care why you're doing what you're doing.
Lithaladhwen: If I did, I would probably be more interested in your cause than you think.
Arch mage144: E: Then why'd you ask?
Lithaladhwen: Because. I was curious.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
Lithaladhwen: Can't a girl wonder?
Arch mage144: E: Waste of my time and yours. Have your medic shoot me up again. Tell him to use ten times whatever he would normally.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh*
T3chn0Namagomi: So why didn't you, say, try to lead by example rather than pull this bullshit that got you all fucked up in the end?
Arch mage144: C: *looking at the ground, murmuring something*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...No?
Arch mage144: E: You don't get it, do you?
OMG Priam: *faraway eyes*
T3chn0Namagomi: The military option isn't the only way, you know.
T3chn0Namagomi: It's the easiest, but not the only.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Are you sure?
TheWaiChibiAngel: You could be eligable to win great cash prizes.
Arch mage144: E: It took an entire human generation to realize the injustice they had done to us. You're so impossibly slow to understand anything.
Lithaladhwen: Don't care. Don't care.
Lithaladhwen: Here's my issue, and the only reason I can see why we're holding onto you instead of just letting you have your way and letting you kill yourself. You're breaking rules that aren't for you to break. Rules of death.
Lithaladhwen: If I were you, I wouldn't be so eager to die right now. Not until this is resolved.
Lithaladhwen: I don't think anything good will come of it. Not for you, or anyone you work with.
CGNakibe: <.< IM: Is this some sort of necromancer thing?
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< I'd listen to the spooky death chick.
Lithaladhwen: *smirk* That's me.
Arch mage144: E: The rules of death? What the hell are you talking about?
Lithaladhwen: There are certain things that should and should not happen to the dead. Do you understand this?
Lithaladhwen: Or did you damage something in your brain with that gun?
CGNakibe: IM: Hmm.
T3chn0Namagomi: I think she has issues with the system used to control those Ghost A2s, is what she's trying to say.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...*Nudge*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Are you awake?
Lithaladhwen: *Vanna White hands to Zeiren, signifying his correct response*
OMG Priam: What do you want?
Lithaladhwen: Yes. That.
T3chn0Namagomi: The soul-symbiote hybrid system
CGNakibe: Its particularly distasteful, using people's souls fused with symbiotes.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Do you want a rematch?
OMG Priam: No. I'm busy.
TheWaiChibiAngel: You don't look busy.
Lithaladhwen: It isn't just distasteful. It is against procedure. It is against the rules that keep this world in balance.
Arch mage144: E: Oh, is it? So you figured it out, did you? The product of our brilliant research?
T3chn0Namagomi: Try insane.
Lithaladhwen: Bitch, please. Anyone can do that.
CGNakibe: You call that BRILLIANT?
Lithaladhwen: It's just that no one with half a brain does.
PapatymisonN: *just waiting for his moment... WAITING...*
Arch mage144: E: We can create an entire army without having to risk any of our lives, fight and kill you without lifting a finger!
T3chn0Namagomi: How respectful is that?
Lithaladhwen: Elsa. Elsa, Elsa. Do you realize what you're pissing off with this plan?
OMG Priam: *smirks* im: Hah! Zeiren talks about respect. I will remember this one.
T3chn0Namagomi: Turning a war into a game?
Lithaladhwen: Do you know what's going to happen to you?
T3chn0Namagomi: You say you're a proud race worthy of respect...
Arch mage144: E: It's not my job to respect you, inferior creature. You subjugated us for a while, but we've always known better. The drow were meant to rule this world.
Lithaladhwen: Then rule this world. I don't care. But leave the afterlife alone.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...but when you pull stuff like this, how worthy are you of this respect in the end?
Arch mage144: E: What's going to happen to me, woman?
Arch mage144: E: Tell me. Who are you to speak for the cosmic forces of life and death?
Lithaladhwen: Do you want to know? I... might be able to show you.
Arch mage144: E: Who are you to tell me that I will face judgment?
Lithaladhwen: If you've got the mind of a scientist, you've got to be curious.
CGNakibe: IM: Okay, that's DEFINITELY not normal-sounding.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_<;
CGNakibe: *Watching Helena CLOSELY now*
Arch mage144: E: I have the mind of a soldier.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: There's something wrong with her...
Lithaladhwen: Then you won't be scared, then.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *w* do you know what's going on?
Arch mage144: E: And you cannot frighten me with this superstitious bullshit.
OMG Priam: Poker.
Lithaladhwen: *headscratch*
PapatymisonN: IM: ... this will answer things. But it may also cut me out of playing with her.
PapatymisonN: IM: Joy and sadness...
Lithaladhwen: It would require me to cast a spell on you, but if you want to know what I know, you'll have to allow it, Elsa. You game?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: E: You can't possibly do anything to hurt me. Do as you wish.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...what does she know?
Lithaladhwen: 'kay.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Noo, I don't think it's poker.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...!
Lithaladhwen: It's easier this way. It's like a cooperative effort. Cool.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Snort*
TheWaiChibiAngel: I get it. You're funny.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: There's something odd about this...
CGNakibe: IM: Do I need to step in...
OMG Priam: *puts one hand out* Prisoner bluffs. *puts the other hand out* Interrogator calls. *both hands up* Prisoner loses.
Lithaladhwen: (brb)
Arch mage144: C: That's an interesting way to look at it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: You poked her. Poker!
CGNakibe: *shakes his head* IM: No no. Helena's always had the calmest head of all of us. And she's pretty pissed off sounding now.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: There's someting particularly odd here...
OMG Priam: And now we wait for the hands to be revealed, where the fallen must acknowledge the victor.
Lithaladhwen: (Sorry. Loo.)
PapatymisonN: (Albano?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Blinks*
Lithaladhwen: *takes a deep breath and holds her hands about an inch away from the sides of Elsa's head* Just... stay calm and I'll show you.
Lithaladhwen: Lord Reshtaha, give her a taste......show her the fruits... of a soul... gone to waste.....
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 4
CGNakibe: IM: Reshtaha? That's.... fitting, but.... >.>
Lithaladhwen: (13<18. Success. Charles? If you would?)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 2 3
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: There's something off about that...and I'm not religious at all!
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 3 1
Arch mage144: *Elsa's eyes glaze over and her mouth drops open as she stares at...something only she can see, apparently...*
PapatymisonN: *it is... NOTHING.*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: There is SOMETHING VERY FUCKED UP HERE
Lithaladhwen: (I figured Charles is the best one to take this.)
Lithaladhwen: (He can do this better than I can.)
PapatymisonN: *Elsa now ACHES for the pain her body once held, as the vast ocean of emptiness now gnaws at what was once her soul*
PapatymisonN: *she can attempt to scream, but it will all be for naught. no voice is there, and no one will ever listen*
PapatymisonN: *it is separation, shame, removal from all that is... and it is more horrifying than anything mortal minds can forge*
CGNakibe: (... the DMV?)
Besyanteo: (>=P)
PapatymisonN: (Cute.)
Lithaladhwen: (....yes.)
Arch mage144: (The lines can be pretty terrible.)
PapatymisonN: *and, just as quickly as it began...*
Arch mage144: E: *eyes tear up*
PapatymisonN: *it is over.*
Lithaladhwen: *shivers, because she totally remembers that place*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: What the hell happened?
OMG Priam: Winner take all.
Arch mage144: E: *seems to be snapping out of it*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Did Tareen absorb any of that, assuming it's magic?*
Lithaladhwen: That's what I see when I look at your machines, Elsa.
PapatymisonN: ... the hell was all that? o.o.
Lithaladhwen: And it's what you'll see.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...okay, I REALLY don't want to piss Helena off. Ever.
Arch mage144: (I was under the impression she could only absorb spells cast at her.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yeah)
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o...
CGNakibe: *w* What.... what WAS that?
T3chn0Namagomi: *w* ...I don't want to know...but it worked.
OMG Priam: *turns to the room again.* Rethink that question.
Lithaladhwen: *looks over her shoulder slowly to Serran, and looks back without responding*
Lithaladhwen: IM: He doesn't need to know. Hopefully he never will.
Arch mage144: E: ........*makes some sort of stunned grunt*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Anything that leaves a lingering effect is also absorbed; but it has no benefit or effect other than "Hey, some gum! Let's chew it."*
Lithaladhwen: You okay?
Arch mage144: (No lingering effect at this point.)
Lithaladhwen: It's a little bit trippy, I know.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (*Nod*)
CGNakibe: (Tareen should have some gum later. *nod nod*)
Arch mage144: E: ...what...what did you do?
Arch mage144: E: What kind of spell was that?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Personally, half of me wants to know, the other half doesn't...
OMG Priam: Trust your other half.
Lithaladhwen: *w* I showed you where you're headed. I've seen enough people turn up there that I know what's going to happen to you. Now you know, too.
Lithaladhwen: *w* So make an informed decision.
Arch mage144: E: *spasms against the restraints, seemingly involuntarily*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Huh?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: What just happened, I wasn't paying attention.
Arch mage144: E: *eyes water, tongue lolls out*
T3chn0Namagomi: And I didn't believe in an afterlife before...
Lithaladhwen: *sighs and steps back* What is she doing?
Arch mage144: C: Shit! She's having a fucking seizure!
Lithaladhwen: *tiredly* Cecil, fix it.
PapatymisonN: ... oops.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I knew a guy named Caesar, once. o_o
Lithaladhwen: *rubs her temples*
TheWaiChibiAngel: HE didn't do that, though.
CGNakibe: >.< IM: Shit.... this is all going wrong very, VERY fast.
Lithaladhwen: Show a girl her afterlife, and she freaks.
Arch mage144: C: I have no idea what you did to her, but between the stimulants and whatever it was...*digging around in his box desperately, he pulls out one of myriad syringes and shoves it into her neck*
T3chn0Namagomi: *tries to put a cuff in her mouth in case she bites--better than her biting her tongue off*
CGNakibe: Afterlife?
Lithaladhwen: Pretty much, yeah.
CGNakibe: <.< Wasn't aware necromancers could DO that. o.o
Lithaladhwen: I don't think you'll ever find out what it's like. *looks to Serran* You deserve better. That's plain.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Whatever it is, I believe in it now...O_@...
Arch mage144: *Elsa's spasms cease, and she goes limp against the restraints, more or less unconscious*
Arch mage144: *Cecil sighs heavily*
PapatymisonN: ... she going to live?
Lithaladhwen: Cecil. You're a miracle worker.
T3chn0Namagomi: >_> Had to knock her out?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Um...
OMG Priam: *arms = crossed*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Maybe next time, I should talk to her...
CGNakibe: I...... well.. Um.... thanks Helena.
CGNakibe: IM: Still...
Lithaladhwen: My job is done. She knows everything I wanted her to know.
Lithaladhwen: You guys go ahead and do whatever.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Shit...NEVER piss her off. Ever.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Spins!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: When she wakes up, I'm going to talk to her!
Arch mage144: No, I had to deliver a high dose of muscle relaxants and hypotensives so that she couldn't spasm anymore and to bring her blood pressure down to a level that makes sense.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Alone! And stuff.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Yeee...
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Hyper Farmacist Cecil!)
Lithaladhwen: Well, if she can't handle it now, wait until she actually dies. She'll love it then.
Lithaladhwen: *eyeroll*
T3chn0Namagomi: So, this means we have to wait for a while?
Arch mage144: *headshake* I...
T3chn0Namagomi: <_<...
CGNakibe: Hm?
OMG Priam: What is it, Cecil?
CGNakibe: What?
Arch mage144: If she weren't a prisoner, she would be on the operating table right now. I need to check her out to make sure she doesn't have any permanent damage.
Lithaladhwen: Then check her. Nobody cares.
Arch mage144: She's not supposed to die.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
Arch mage144: I'm going to!
T3chn0Namagomi: Commander's orders, yeah.
CGNakibe: *sighs* Just do it.
Lithaladhwen: *sits back down on the floor with a sigh*
Arch mage144: *rifles through his medical kit and pulls out some kind of bioscanner, panning it over various parts of her body*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I was hoping I wouldn't have to do it that way. I mean, love the spell. Love it. But mortals don't need that shit.
Lithaladhwen: IM: If nothing else, maybe she'll be more forthcoming now.
Lithaladhwen: IM: She may still be able to redeem herself.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Hopefully, she'll still live.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: This...is fucked up...
OMG Priam: If that concludes the interrogation for the moment, permission to be excused, sir. *to Giles*
Arch mage144: Gah. I called it. Whatever you did, she panicked. There's some damage to her coronary arteries. She's going to need healing. You're a mage, you do it. It's much quicker that way. I'd have to open up her chest.
Lithaladhwen: 'kay.
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 3-sided die: 3
Lithaladhwen: (Whoops!)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 6 3
Lithaladhwen: (Success. 3 HP to Elsa.)
CGNakibe: (Oxblood: Live, damn you, LIVE!)
Lithaladhwen: *wipes her brow* Better?
Arch mage144: *sighs* Thank you.
CGNakibe: (Oxblood: I haven't even gotten to break your bones yet. e.e)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren: Shut it, stinky.)
Lithaladhwen: She looks better at least.
Lithaladhwen: For, uh... for what that's worth.
Arch mage144: A lot of the time it's easier to make use of mage healing when it's available and you just need to fix some kind of obvious physical damage.
Lithaladhwen: Can do.
Lithaladhwen: She better?
Arch mage144: She'll live. It was clearly a traumatic experience. Some kind of tonic-clonic seizure coupled with a hypertensive episode.
Lithaladhwen: Talk to her when she wakes up. She might be more helpful, she might not. But she'll be different.
Lithaladhwen: They always are.
OMG Priam: *continues facing CO Giles, despite his apparent distraction*
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
Arch mage144: *Giles actually isn't in the room*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...right...
OMG Priam: *Oh, well then.*
OMG Priam: *excuses himself. Exeunt*
Arch mage144: *he's out in another room altogether, my bad for not saying something earlier*
Arch mage144: *They exit?*
OMG Priam: *The royal they*
Arch mage144: (Exeunt is plural D: )
OMG Priam: (EXCELSIOR)
PapatymisonN: IM: I'll be back...
Arch mage144: (GO!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Stands there*
PapatymisonN: *leaves*
Lithaladhwen: *remains* She likely to be conscious anytime soon?
Arch mage144: C: I'm finished here. She's going to be useless for a while. I'm not going to screw around with her metabolism anymore.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm still gonna talk to her when she wakes up.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. She'll get better. She's a tough kid, or so she'd like to think.
Lithaladhwen: I'm pretty much done with her.
Lithaladhwen: You guys can get information out of her if you want.
Arch mage144: C: You could be waiting for a couple hours. When she's awake, she's still going to be groggy as hell.
CGNakibe: Leaving already?
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< A couple of hours, Ser.
PapatymisonN: I'll go last.
Lithaladhwen: I've got nothing else to show her. She needs to make her own choice now. Not everybody gets one.
Arch mage144: C: I hope she's more cooperative when she wakes up.
Arch mage144: C: ...it would justify whatever the hell happened.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Remind me never to piss you off. Ever.
Lithaladhwen: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Lithaladhwen: And Zeiren... don't worry about it.
Besyanteo: (Ashley: )
Besyanteo: (INCONCIEVABLE!)
Lithaladhwen: (hee.)
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o
CGNakibe: Hm. Good point.
CGNakibe: At the very least we have nothing else to do for another couple hours.
PapatymisonN: When are we leaving for the undersea base?
Arch mage144: C: I don't know. The commanding officer never said.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Can someone go find out?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I think that would be up to the commander. I'll go ask him on what to do next...*starts to leave*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Looking Elsa over! AGAIN.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeiren heads to the CO's office!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *If she's wearing a uniform, she's gonna pay attention to that!*
Arch mage144: *Elsa's not wearing a uniform. Whatever she was wearing before, she's not wearing it now. She's wearing a skintight prison jumpsuit.*
PapatymisonN: (Rawr.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: BAH.
PapatymisonN: (Girls Behind Bars. ^_^)
TheWaiChibiAngel: BAH, I say!
OMG Priam: (God dammit, I knew someone had to say that)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Spins!*
Lithaladhwen: *seems to really enjoy sitting hunkered down on the floor*
TheWaiChibiAngel: What'd they do with her..Stuff!?
Lithaladhwen: IM: This sucks.
T3chn0Namagomi: *knock on door* Commander?
Arch mage144: C: Probably impounded it, whatever she had.
Arch mage144: *door opens* G: Come in@
Arch mage144: *!
CGNakibe: *walks over to Helena* Are you... alright?
Lithaladhwen: *looks up* Me? I'm fine.
OMG Priam: *is there, I guess?*
Lithaladhwen: She reacted badly.
Arch mage144: *don't see why not*
T3chn0Namagomi: *comes in* The prisoner, for lack of a better word, went into a seizure and had to be sedated. According to Cecil, she'll take a few hours to get back to normal.
CGNakibe: *nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..
Arch mage144: G: I see. Learn anything?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Is there anyone in the cell besides her now?*
Arch mage144: *Elsa*
T3chn0Namagomi: She carries a really heavy vendetta about drow treatment by the CFIN.
Lithaladhwen: (Serran and Hel.)
Arch mage144: G: Ah.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *THAT DOESN'T COUNT >:*
PapatymisonN: *is just outside the cell*
T3chn0Namagomi: To the point where she may've been one of the victims of it
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Glances at Serran*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Where is it!?
Arch mage144: *Cecil is with Serran and Hel*
Arch mage144: C: Where's what? Do you want pudding again or something? Or a sponge?
T3chn0Namagomi: *Is in the CO's office!*
Lithaladhwen: I'm not all that concerned about her wellbeing, but if she takes the chance to clean up her act, things might go a little better for her.
Lithaladhwen: It's never strictly too late.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *If Cecil is within arm's reach, she's gonna grab him by the hsoulders. And shake him.*
Arch mage144: C: *is not*
OMG Priam: *Sure, is there, then*
TheWaiChibiAngel: her stuff! Where's her stuff!?
OMG Priam: *In the office*
Arch mage144: C: Uh...I don't know where they put it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Go find out! >_<
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Please?
Arch mage144: C: Why don't you do it? o_O
CGNakibe: *nod nod* You seem to know a bit about it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Cuz I'm busy.
Lithaladhwen: I remind myself every now and again. Or did, for a long time.
T3chn0Namagomi: She's also a bit nuts...almost thinking she and her race are entitled to the world.
Lithaladhwen: It's best to keep in mind the consequences of your actions. I think a lot of people nowadays have forgotten what those are.
OMG Priam: She's been informed of her position, and she will likely become more cooperative in the forseeable future, sir.
CGNakibe: Lot of people are removed from those consequences, really.
CGNakibe: *shrugs* A sad fact of the world, really.
Lithaladhwen: She called it superstition, Serran. She really didn't know. How can people not know? I guess it's not as intuitive as it used to be. Increasing secularization and all.
T3chn0Namagomi: Further orders to wait until she rouses?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...*Blinks*
CGNakibe: What isn't? The compassion, you mean? >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel: I don't have all day. o_o
Lithaladhwen: No.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Do I?
Lithaladhwen: No, I'm pretty sure people have always acted like she is, and she's not unjustified.
CGNakibe: No, she's not.
Arch mage144: C: You aren't doing anything! You're standing here! *looks frustrated*
Arch mage144: C: You could've found out by now if you'd just gone and done it!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Do you have any idea how hard it is to turn into a person that doesn't exist?!
CGNakibe: Still doesn't make what they've done any more right than the other groups in the past that have done the same.
Arch mage144: C: What are you talking about?
Arch mage144: G: I see.
Arch mage144: G: Very well.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I gotta turn into someone that I don't know. o_o
Lithaladhwen: I know. Believe me, I agree. It's why I did what I did. But it disturbs me that what I showed her was so foreign that her mind literally couldn't take it.
Arch mage144: G: Your orders are to wait. You're deploying in an hour and a half for the seabase.
OMG Priam: Yes, sir. Is there a briefing beforehand?
OMG Priam: *, sir?
Arch mage144: G: There will be.
CGNakibe: An Afterlife?
Arch mage144: C: I do not understand what you are talking about. >_<
T3chn0Namagomi: Also, Commander. I have a question regarding the Armor recalibrations.
Lithaladhwen: *to Serran* Yes.
Arch mage144: G: Yes? It'll probably be answered during the briefing, but fire away.
CGNakibe: ... *blinks*
CGNakibe: IM: Wait.... I was right? o.o
Arch mage144: C: You showed her the afterlife?
Lithaladhwen: I showed her hers.
CGNakibe: You... and....um...
T3chn0Namagomi: Given that my personal Armor utilizes coherent light based weaponry as its primary means of ranged assault, I would imagine that this would require switching out in order to function underwater
Lithaladhwen: If she keeps breaking the laws like she is.
Arch mage144: C: She has a different one?
CGNakibe: How do you DO that, huh? o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: Lest the refraction render it useless altogether
CGNakibe: I mean, I'm no mage, but I haven't heard of it before. Certainly not RECENTLY.
Lithaladhwen: Cecil, she will have a different one than you will if she does not wise up very very quickly.
Lithaladhwen: She doesn't have much time to help fix this. But it's her only shot.
Arch mage144: G: Your laser weapons are going to be switched out for some prototypes that we've been developing that are functionally focused thermal rays. They'll work underwater.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Sighs, and beins walking off, mumbling about..Who knows what.*
Arch mage144: C: I...see.
T3chn0Namagomi: Prototypes? I will inquire more on that in the briefing, then.
Arch mage144: C, IM: I would tackle her and shoot her full of antipsychotics if I thought it would help, what with her bizarre amorph physiology...
Lithaladhwen: I'm sorry I can't explain it any better than that. It's the best I can offer you.
Arch mage144: G: We'll talk later. Go get some lunch or something. Don't you people ever relax?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Maybe you should call the rest.
Arch mage144: G: I tell you to go take a break and you start destroying one another's doors.
T3chn0Namagomi: They're still down there.
T3chn0Namagomi: On the other hand, I'll do it.
Arch mage144: *intercom* This is CO Giles Herzog. Delta Unit, return to my office immediately.
CGNakibe: Alright.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Nevermind.
CGNakibe: IM: Gonna have to research that.
Lithaladhwen: *stands* Well. Okay, then.
PapatymisonN: *pushes off the wall, and heads that way...*
Arch mage144: G: You two go do whatever you want.
CGNakibe: *gets to his feet* Back to work, apparently.
Lithaladhwen: *heads off, presumably with her squadmates*
OMG Priam: Yes, sir. *salute*
OMG Priam: *exit!*
CGNakibe: *We're off to see the CO*
Lithaladhwen: *The wonderful Delta CO*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *IS ALREADY ON HER WAY*
OMG Priam: *passes them in the hallway, going the other way.* Comrades. *nods*
PapatymisonN: *The Wonderful CO of ... us!*
Arch mage144: *As people arrive at Giles' office they are summarily commanded to go get something to eat or something*
Lithaladhwen: (What Charles said.)
Lithaladhwen: ...
PapatymisonN: ... fine.
Arch mage144: *and informed of their briefing in an hour and a half*
CGNakibe: ... IM: Well, that was pointless.
Lithaladhwen: I... well. I will, then. *turns on her heel to go get food*
PapatymisonN: *will lag behind for just a moment...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..I don't eat. o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: Hey, Helena. What do you want? I'll pay for it.
CGNakibe: Food, well. Yes, sir.
PapatymisonN: *and approach Giles' desk*
PapatymisonN: Sir?
Lithaladhwen: ...You're afraid I'm going to show you Hell, aren't you?
T3chn0Namagomi: No, no.
Lithaladhwen: *nods* Good. Because I'm not.
T3chn0Namagomi: Just that you've seemed to do so much work around here. ^^
Lithaladhwen: ...Uh huh. I have to. People here have... disadvantages. It's in my nature to compensate if I can.
Besyanteo: (Hel: *Buys Oxblood a sports car.*)
T3chn0Namagomi: So...I think it's Waffle day today.
Lithaladhwen: IM: You're mortal. You lack knowledge and perspective, but to your credit... not ethics or determination.
Arch mage144: C: Hey, don't you consume spells or something, Tareen?
Lithaladhwen: ...Waffles. I like waffles.
CGNakibe: I think he's kinda distracted. Perhaps he just remembered that he forgot the pudding.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: ^^
Arch mage144: C: Maybe Helena should "feed" you. *chuckles*
T3chn0Namagomi: Come on, then!
Lithaladhwen: ...all right.
Lithaladhwen: I see no reason why not.
T3chn0Namagomi: *runs over*
OMG Priam: *will be in the cafeteria, book next to his food.*
Lithaladhwen: What do you put on waffles now?
CGNakibe: Syrup, last I checked.
T3chn0Namagomi: All kinds of options
Lithaladhwen: Do you still use powdered sugar?
T3chn0Namagomi: Syrup, butter, different kinds of fruit...chocolate...
Lithaladhwen: Or would that be strange?
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah, there's that too
Lithaladhwen: Excellent.
T3chn0Namagomi: *And so, waffles are had!*
Lithaladhwen: *indeed*
Lithaladhwen: (What's everyone else putting on waffles?)
PapatymisonN: *waits patiently for his CO to respond*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..That's gross.
CGNakibe: (Cherries. ^^)
OMG Priam: im: Bah, just as I thought. Of *course* commanding officers wouldn't have to answer to that...
OMG Priam: *These waffles are plain!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeiren himself is putting chocolate syrup and raspberries on his, and topping with powdered sugar*
CGNakibe: *fruit-topped waffles for Serran, yes*
Lithaladhwen: ...Serran, why cherries?
Arch mage144: *whoops*
Arch mage144: *missed it*
CGNakibe: More sugar to go with your suggar waffles, Serran?
Arch mage144: Giles: Oxblood.
CGNakibe: (*Zeiren)
CGNakibe: Eh. I like em.
Lithaladhwen: (It's okay. They rhyme.)
Arch mage144: Giles: Your temper needs to be kept under control, do you hear me, Private?
Lithaladhwen: Why?
T3chn0Namagomi: *snrrks* It's good. ^^
TheWaiChibiAngel: OH SNAP!
Lithaladhwen: Does it mean something? Do you associate it with something else you eat?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *While turn and run back towards Giles again.*
PapatymisonN: ... at the same time, I DESERVE respect on this squad, sir! I've earned it!
Lithaladhwen: Why do you put them on your waffles?
Arch mage144: G: I just put you in for a goddamned promotion and you do this? You've made your whole squad look bad, you've made yourself look bad, and worst of all, you've made me look bad.
PapatymisonN: ...
CGNakibe: Boiled down cherry syrup on the waffles always tasted best for me.
PapatymisonN: *grumbles...*
PapatymisonN: >.>
Lithaladhwen: I see. Noted. Thank you.
CGNakibe: Having the cherries there is a bonus. ^^
Lithaladhwen: IM: Cherries. I'll try it. He does it.
Lithaladhwen: Zeiren, same question.
CGNakibe: (Shaun recommends it!)
Arch mage144: G: I have a lot of respect for you, but if you and Zeiren are going to be children I don't know what I'll do with you. Whatever it is, you won't like it.
Arch mage144: G: I promise.
Arch mage144: *Tareen shows up at this point*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Sir!
PapatymisonN: <.<
Arch mage144: G: ...what do you want, Tareen? *puts a hand on his temple*
TheWaiChibiAngel: I need to see her stuff.
T3chn0Namagomi: Personally, I like the consistency of the chocolate. It's not as thick in the mouth as the normal syrup tends to be
Lithaladhwen: I see.
Lithaladhwen: Doesn't the sugar thicken it?
T3chn0Namagomi: Also, raspberries go well with it.
Arch mage144: G: You need to be more specific, Tareen. Whose "stuff?"
TheWaiChibiAngel: Uh..
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Elsa!
PapatymisonN: I think she means Elsa's things, sir...
T3chn0Namagomi: Still not so much as the syrup.
PapatymisonN: What she was wearing when she got captured.
Lithaladhwen: Oh.
Arch mage144: G: Ah. All she had on her person was that blaster and her clothing. No identification or anything, oddly.
Lithaladhwen: Okay.
Lithaladhwen: Thank you. I feel like I understand now.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Her clothes?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Where are they?
Arch mage144: G: I have no idea. Why do you want to know about that?
CGNakibe: The normal syrup is thick? Never thought of it like that before myself.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Interesting. He's given it some thought. Clearly made an informed decision. Clear preference for a certain feeling in his mouth. Good to know.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Preferences about everything. How peculiar.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I hadn't noticed it before, but it is a clear difference.
CGNakibe: Usually most of them aren't homemade. That's usually a bit thick.
Arch mage144: G: I think she was wearing civilian clothes.
T3chn0Namagomi: Additionally, the flavor is quite different.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..>Crap!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Um...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Uhh...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Crap!
T3chn0Namagomi: Syrup's more outright sweet, while chocolate, well...they still haven't synthed that, so to speak. ^^
Arch mage144: G: *slow nod*
CGNakibe: ... That's true.
Arch mage144: C: Wait a minute, if chocolate isn't synthesized in a lab, where does it come from?
CGNakibe: Nothing quite like a good piece of chocolate. Granted, I haven't had any white chocolate in a while...
PapatymisonN: You done, Longbow?
CGNakibe: *snickers* Cows. Where else?
Lithaladhwen: Both of you have red fruit on your waffles. Is there something about the color red? Why is so much food red?
CGNakibe: IM: Lets see if he buys that one.
Arch mage144: G: It does not! That's where you get milk.
T3chn0Namagomi: Raspberries go well with chocolate. They just so happen to be red.
CGNakibe: (Ichigo: Dammit, Rukia, you ask so many questions.)
Arch mage144: G: I'm not a moron, Serran, I graduated from medical school. >_>
PapatymisonN: (That was C, right?)
Besyanteo: (Milk chocolate. :o)
Lithaladhwen: (She wants to knooooow!)
Arch mage144: *Yeah, both of those*
Arch mage144: *Cecil*
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Milk Chocolate, duh.
Arch mage144: C: Yeah, but they have to do something to make chocolate. It doesn't come straight out of the cow.
Arch mage144: C: They aren't chocolate factories.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Umm...
Lithaladhwen: It also comes from beans.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Runs off*
Lithaladhwen: Beans and milk and sugar.
Arch mage144: C: Oh, is that it?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Thaaanks!
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Arch mage144: G: ...as I was saying...
CGNakibe: Heh. Actually it does come from beans. No cows involved.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Hey wait!
T3chn0Namagomi: I think it's some sort of plant--probably what she said
Lithaladhwen: IM: For once I was the one who knew something!
Besyanteo: (ALSO: My head/face hurts. I'm going to see if sleeping fixes this. Later folks.)
Arch mage144: G: It looks bad when I put you in for a promotion and you promptly do something that forces me to punish you.
PapatymisonN: (Later, Jason.)
Lithaladhwen: *is deeply and unjustifiably gratified by this*
Lithaladhwen: (Bye Bes!)
Besyanteo has left the room.
Arch mage144: C: Where does it grow, anyway?
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I don't know what the place is called.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hell if I know. *shrugs*
Lithaladhwen: Group of islands.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Argovia?
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Arch mage144: C: That makes sense. All the good stuff is from Argovia.
PapatymisonN: ... I deserve respect, sir. You know that as well as I do.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Still Argovia then.
Arch mage144: G: I never denied your statement.
Arch mage144: G: Explain what that has to do with destruction of government property?
PapatymisonN: It got between me and him. e_e
Arch mage144: G: And I said you need to control your temper.
OMG Priam: *closes that one book, and opens another. Uses some tools, and begins writing, apparently using a lot of thought to do so.*
Arch mage144: G: I don't care what he did to you. He probably played some practical joke.
Lithaladhwen: *finishes her waffles*
Arch mage144: G: Equally immature, but less destructive.
CGNakibe: Hopefully all of this makes the waffles taste a little better for you.
Lithaladhwen: It makes them more interesting. Is it against the norm to get raspberries without chocolate?
T3chn0Namagomi: Not at all
Lithaladhwen: Very well.
Arch mage144: C: Not necessarily. Some people like strawberries, even, and whipped cream.
Lithaladhwen: Noted. I will join you in eating your red-garnished breakfast foods.
Arch mage144: C: o_o;
Lithaladhwen: *gets up and grabs more waffles*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Helena, it's okay to have your own tastes in food.
PapatymisonN: *mumbles*... but twice as wrong...
Arch mage144: C: ...red-garnished...uh...
Lithaladhwen: *puts raspberry stuff on hers*
Lithaladhwen: *comes back*
Arch mage144: G: Again. Not concerned.
Lithaladhwen: I have my own tastes. I enjoy berries.
Lithaladhwen: *eats some and nods*
CGNakibe: Ah. *eyebrow raise*
PapatymisonN: ... *nods*
Arch mage144: G: *sighs* The door is coming out of your pay, but beyond that I have no punishment for you. This is a warning. Don't do it again.
T3chn0Namagomi: I see. o.o
CGNakibe: IM: And just when Helena was getting normal to me, she weirds out again.
Lithaladhwen: I think I prefer it this way. Chocolate would perhaps be unnecessary for me. Too sweet.
CGNakibe: (+me)
PapatymisonN: ... Understood.
T3chn0Namagomi: ^.^
CGNakibe: See? Even she agrees. Sugar on sugar.
CGNakibe: And you've even got sugar frosting.
PapatymisonN: But I don't know if I can tolerate his... ... attitude forever.
PapatymisonN: I will try, because I respect YOU.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *SHOWS UP. In the messhall.*
PapatymisonN: ... forgive me if I fail.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Giles: I hereby issue a restraining order!)
OMG Priam: im: Gods, why must they always talk about such insipid crap?
Arch mage144: G: Get over it, Private.
Arch mage144: G: Now go feed yourself before the briefing so I don't have to suffer a growling orc stomach in my briefing room.
PapatymisonN: IM: If only it were that simple...
PapatymisonN: Yes sir.
PapatymisonN: *heads to the mess*
PapatymisonN: Oh.
PapatymisonN: *heads back*
PapatymisonN: One last thing, sir.
OMG Priam: im: Agh, come on, focus. By the triactic property of the etherometrics....*jot jot*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren: We talk about it because we didn't sell our souls on E-Bay!)
T3chn0Namagomi: *drinking milk with his waffles, by the way*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Hey Helena!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...can I get something to eat
TheWaiChibiAngel: *?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, sure.
Lithaladhwen: What are you in the mood for?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Uhh..
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Surprise me!
Arch mage144: G: Yes?
Lithaladhwen: All right.
PapatymisonN: I'm to understand that Private Aslan's NOT getting reprimanded in any way, correct?
Arch mage144: G: He insulted you. You're an orc. Don't you have thicker skin than that?
CGNakibe: *Milk builds strong bones, yes*
PapatymisonN: ... not when it comes to matters like this, I guess.
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 1 2
PapatymisonN: This is less about feelings and more about ... honour, sir.
PapatymisonN: I... don't know why no one else is understanding that.
Lithaladhwen: *Helena casts "bless plants" on Tareen. Were Tareen a plant, she'd experience a month's growth in one minute.*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren: BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE IS YOU)
OMG Priam: (Redford: GET OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S CONVERSATIONS, YOU)
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood: Shut up or I'll get myself courtmartialed. e_e)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren: -NYO!)
Lithaladhwen: (Hel: OLIOLIOLIO)
T3chn0Namagomi: (END OF OOC)
Lithaladhwen: (I thought that'd kill it.)
OMG Priam: (Good work, soldier)
CGNakibe: Good enough, Helena?
CGNakibe: (Thank you, Captain America!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Salad?
Arch mage144: G: Get it under control. I don't care about your pride and neither does the Brass.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I didn't know you had salad.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. It's a plant spell.
Lithaladhwen: Most people don't know I have those.
CGNakibe: (GAH. Salad Fingers. >.<)
Lithaladhwen: (Hee. Hel needs to be issued a nettle carrier.)
T3chn0Namagomi: I didn't know you did either. o.o
PapatymisonN: ... very well... sir.
Lithaladhwen: Well. I'm just a miserable pile of secrets, aren't I?
PapatymisonN: *salutes, and leaves*
PapatymisonN: IM: I'm starting to think this place is not for me...
PapatymisonN: *enters the mess*
CGNakibe: Now we know. o.o
Lithaladhwen: *lifts a hand in greeting to Oxblood*
Lithaladhwen: *mutters* If he can chill for ten seconds, I want to know what he puts on his waffles.
PapatymisonN: *is Zeiren sitting next to her?*
Lithaladhwen: (...Sure.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *Likely*
Lithaladhwen: (She's the nearest female, after all.)
PapatymisonN: *then he sits on the other side of the bench, down a few spots*
CGNakibe: (There's always Tareen!)
OMG Priam: (And Donovan!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (But Tareen's crazy. And Donovan's a guy)
Lithaladhwen: (Tareen is made of pudding, and Donovan isn't a girl.)
OMG Priam: (I thought....well, okay, yeah, gears.)
PapatymisonN: ... waffles, huh?
CGNakibe: Yeah. They're not bad.
Lithaladhwen: Yes. What do you eat on your waffles?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Waffles!?
TheWaiChibiAngel: You had WAFFLES?!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...*Points* WAFFLES!
T3chn0Namagomi: They're over there, Tareen.
Lithaladhwen: *patiently* There are still waffles, Tareen.
PapatymisonN: ... hmm.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Whyd idn't anyone tell me!?
CGNakibe: We assumed you kinda knew. ^^;;
PapatymisonN: Minced apples, and honey.
Arch mage144: I figured you wouldn't want them.
Lithaladhwen: Because you wanted me to feed you instead, Tareen.
Arch mage144: You said you can't eat. o_o
OMG Priam: (OOC question: Is the briefing happening tonight?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I...Can't!
T3chn0Namagomi: (I think so)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..But I like waffles..
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..They're tasty...
Lithaladhwen: (God knows.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I hope)
PapatymisonN: (Yes, Brian does know.)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Then get some, Tareen.
Arch mage144: (Yes, I was going to do that in a minute. Hell, I can do it now.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
Arch mage144: *intercom: ATTENTION DELTA UNIT. REPORT TO BRIEFING ROOM AT ONCE.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: But I can't eat them!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....*Grabs one, and RUNS LIKE HELL*
Lithaladhwen: Go get some, Tareen. In fact, I want to kn--Damn.
PapatymisonN: ... argh. I was talking with...
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o;
OMG Priam: *scribble, scribble, book-close, exit.*
PapatymisonN: Dammit.
CGNakibe: ... Wow. That was fast.
Lithaladhwen: Now I'll never know.
T3chn0Namagomi: *finishes his, gulps down the milk, and heads to the briefing room*
Arch mage144: What's she going to do with that waffle? o_O
Lithaladhwen: *stands* Wave it around. Hit somebody with it?
T3chn0Namagomi: I guess eat it.
PapatymisonN: *has the lunchlady give him some food QUICK, and eats it on his way to the briefing room!*
Arch mage144: Decide waffle is a funny word?
Lithaladhwen: *starts out8
Lithaladhwen: *
CGNakibe: *Puts tray away* Who can tell with that girl?
Lithaladhwen: It kind of is, when you think about it.
Arch mage144: Not me.
CGNakibe: *Heads to the Briefing room as well*
Arch mage144: ...yeah, I guess it is. WAFFLE! *laughs a little*
Lithaladhwen: Waffle. Pudding. Sponge. Laser.
Lithaladhwen: Umbrella.
Arch mage144: Oooh, that's a good one!
Lithaladhwen: Banana.
CGNakibe: Umbrella is a pretty funny word.
CGNakibe: Bananananana!
Arch mage144: *anyway, in the briefing room...*
PapatymisonN: *turns back* Moccasin.
Lithaladhwen: *Yes, anyway*
OMG Priam: *ANYDIRECTION*
PapatymisonN: ... and... Spatula.
Lithaladhwen: Spatula. Heh.
T3chn0Namagomi: *sitting in front, wiping a dab of chocolate off of his mouth*
Arch mage144: Giles: What the hell kind of conversation were you people having on the way over here? I could hear you from the hallway.
PapatymisonN: *brushes crumbs off his uniform as he enters the room*
PapatymisonN: Funny words, sir.
Lithaladhwen: We're attempting to enjoy Common as much as Tareen does.
T3chn0Namagomi: What Tareen would obsess over next.
OMG Priam: *hand flinches*
Arch mage144: G: I see.
PapatymisonN: *sits*
Lithaladhwen: *sits*
OMG Priam: *sits!*
PapatymisonN: (Pretend Oxblood is listening quietly. I need to scrounge up some grub.)
Arch mage144: G: Anyway, you're being briefed, so look sharp. Your mecha and battlesuits have been modified for underwater combat. Construction of the seabase is going to take at least a week, but we're going to need to defend it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *SITS*
Lithaladhwen: *nod*
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods*
OMG Priam: *does not nod*
Arch mage144: G: And I'm sending you to do that while the construction is underway. When it's finished, we'll begin digging under the ground so we can infiltrate the fortified bunker slash lab.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Jaburo?)
Arch mage144: G: How many of you have trained for underwater combat in the simulator?
T3chn0Namagomi: (Or am I thinking something else?)
Lithaladhwen: I have not.
OMG Priam: *raises hand*
T3chn0Namagomi: I guess I'll need a crash course
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Raises hand* I was eaten by a fish before. Does that count?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I don't know how to use that nonsense.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I bet Tareen would have picked something colorful.
Arch mage144: G: You'll have to do it at the seabase during training exercises. And of course not!
CGNakibe: I have, though I'm not confident in my abilities there. *shrugs*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Or she'd have picked funny sounding things and applied them to the waffles in alphabetical or rainbow order.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Briefing.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Right.
Arch mage144: G: Fighting underwater is a little like fighing in the air. You have to learn to think in three dimensions.
CGNakibe: (FISH WAFFLES)
Lithaladhwen: (THE ENEMY'S GATE IS DOWN)
Arch mage144: G: Your missile racks are being replaced by torpedoes, and your laser weapons are being substituted for prototypes that will ignore refraction by water.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Blahblah. Technological crap I don't understand....
Lithaladhwen: IM: Don't know and have no opinion.
Arch mage144: G: They will function identically, so you don't need to worry about that. However, learning to move around underwater may take a bit more work.
Arch mage144: G: And if your mecha cockpit is penetrated under there, you're done for. The pressure of the deep sea is going to do you in. So you'll all have to wear sealed suits with modular life-support.
Arch mage144: G: Any questions?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ooh!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: I don't have to breathe; is that okay?
T3chn0Namagomi: <_<;
Arch mage144: G: ......
Arch mage144: G: It's...fine.
Lithaladhwen: I do have to breathe, but I assume you can take care of that. More importantly... How am I getting around under there?
CGNakibe: *shakes his head* IM: Every time...
TheWaiChibiAngel: OH!
TheWaiChibiAngel: OH OH OH
TheWaiChibiAngel: She can ride a mecha-shark!
T3chn0Namagomi: Helena raises a good question; even better given our Armors
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: G: Two options, Mazuo. We can outfit your battlesuit with self-propulsion units, or you can...
PapatymisonN: ...
Arch mage144: G: ...ride...er...not a mecha-shark.
CGNakibe: .... A mecha shark? >.>
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: Is that...no. I don't want to know.
CGNakibe: IM: At least she didn't mention lasers. -.-
Arch mage144: G: An underwater transport. Similar to a snowmobile.
Lithaladhwen: Which is easier to operate?
Arch mage144: G: If you lose your "ride," you'll be a sitting duck. I suggest you let engineering outfit you with self-propulsion.
CGNakibe: Probably best to stick with the propulsion units.
Lithaladhwen: Noted. Will do.
T3chn0Namagomi: And, that brings a good question with the rest of us; propulsion units as well?
Arch mage144: G: Your mecha will have them. In essence, it's like using jump thrusters, except that it requires less effort to move a mecha through water, so you will be more mobile for the same amount of thrust.
Arch mage144: G: Think of it as if you were flying, only...you're swimming.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
PapatymisonN: ... sounds simple enough.
Arch mage144: G: It is. As I said, it just takes some getting used to.
Arch mage144: G: The three of you are good pilots. It will make sense almost immediately.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...Three of us?
Arch mage144: G: And the four of you are smart enough to figure things out without too much of a problem.
TheWaiChibiAngel: OH OH!
Arch mage144: (There're only three mecha pilots. o_o)
Arch mage144: G: Yes, Tareen?
TheWaiChibiAngel: There's like six of us. o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...I doubt Stinky's THAT good of a pilot
Arch mage144: There are seven of you.
Arch mage144: Three of you are pilots. One of you is an engineer in a battlesuit. One of you is a field medic. And two of you are mages.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh.
OMG Priam: *hands flex*
Arch mage144: G: If the enemy discovers the seabase before it's finished, we're going to have serious problems mounting our assault.
PapatymisonN: (So... we're Delta Squad Seven?)
CGNakibe: If we can mount an assault at all.
Arch mage144: G: Correct.
PapatymisonN: (Alpha Squad Seven must have Tek Jansen on it...)
CGNakibe: (We're certainly not B-Squad Rangers)
TheWaiChibiAngel: OH OH!
Arch mage144: G: Yes?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Can I disguise myself as a sushijin?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Or an octopus?
Arch mage144: G: If it makes you feel better.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Heh, octopus.
T3chn0Namagomi: I think we're at the point where we have no more questions, Commander.
Arch mage144: C: It is kind of a funny word.
Lithaladhwen: What Zeiren said.
Arch mage144: C: So's "anemonae."
OMG Priam: Do we expect anything in the way of aggressors?
PapatymisonN: We'd better...
CGNakibe: I figure that they've found out something of what we're doing.
OMG Priam: In specific.
Arch mage144: G: We expect nothing. The boys said they were pretty quiet about moving stuff in.
Lithaladhwen: *smirks at Cecil's suggestion* Yes.
Lithaladhwen: IM: That's a good one.
Arch mage144: G: But we need to keep an eye out, just in case.
OMG Priam: Will we be equipped with long range sensor devices, or long-range weaponry?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: If it's comparable to mine, I've got suitably long-range equipment
CGNakibe: Long range weaponry Zeiren and I can do our best to cover, I think.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Snort*
TheWaiChibiAngel: "Umbrella."
Arch mage144: G: You seem to have it covered, then.
PapatymisonN: Anything else, sir?
OMG Priam: Will there be any other teams operating under this mission?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: G: Depending on how close you are to the sea floor, battles may be completely devoid of cover, so range is going to be paramount. Visibility is compromised underwater, but thermal vision should help.
Arch mage144: G: As far as backup, you're on your own. This is your mission.
OMG Priam: How large is this sea base?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Besyanteo has entered the room.
Besyanteo: (Can't sleep; brain is a bastard.)
CGNakibe: (The MAC Daddy continues)
PapatymisonN: IM: How on GAERA we got to be the lead team at Igala D is beyond me...
Arch mage144: G: When finished, it should be able to support two or three hundred men and a dozen or so armors for as long as two weeks.
OMG Priam: So approximately ten kilometers across?
OMG Priam: Or more?
OMG Priam: Or less?
Arch mage144: G: Smaller.
Arch mage144: G: Maybe a third that size.
Lithaladhwen: *sits and allows people who know how to do this shit to work out details*
Arch mage144: G: It can't be too conspicuous.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
OMG Priam: And what's our prospective depth?
TheWaiChibiAngel: OH!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Can I ride sea turtles?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Strap them to my feet? *Indicates*
T3chn0Namagomi: He said near the sea floor
CGNakibe: *siiiigh*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I had to :-( )
PapatymisonN: (With human hair.)
PapatymisonN: (From her back.)
Arch mage144: G: Prospective depth? *appears to be thinking* I have no idea, Private Redford. Deep enough that you don't want to be outside without a diving outfit or a battlesuit.
CGNakibe: (Tareen would eventually become a hermit on an island in the southeast)
Lithaladhwen: (She would. Making rope out of hair.)
Lithaladhwen: (From her back.)
Besyanteo: (What's really creepy is that it would keep growing back...)
Lithaladhwen: (Yup.)
CGNakibe: (Another fun word "Fungus")
TheWaiChibiAngel: Or unless you're me!
OMG Priam: I believe that is all I have, sir.
Arch mage144: G: Alright.
Lithaladhwen: (brb, changing locations because it's cold down here)
Arch mage144: G: Get ready to deploy, then. The dropship has to circle around and can't cut across the land because we don't want it to be spotted. It's an incredible stealth-equipped model, I believe.
PapatymisonN: Thank goodness. I'd hate to have to WALK into the sea...
OMG Priam: Yes, sir.
Besyanteo: (... What? Does that fail to make sense for anyone else?)
T3chn0Namagomi: Right, Commander.
Besyanteo: (Oxblood I mean.)
Lithaladhwen: (Back.)
Arch mage144: G: You're going to be dropped into it. *chuckles* Arguably better.
Lithaladhwen: ...*shrugs*
PapatymisonN: Arguably.
OMG Priam: Sir?
Lithaladhwen: (And MAC becomes the Magic School Bus.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets up, stretches* If I may take my leave, Commander.
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Giles! What's the ocean like?)
Lithaladhwen: (Giles: Well, why don't we go find out?)
OMG Priam: One more question, sir.
Arch mage144: G: Yes?
OMG Priam: What's our extraction method?
PapatymisonN: (Arnold: Please let this be a normal field trip!)
PapatymisonN: (Little Richard: With the Giles? NO WAY!)
Besyanteo: (I was going to have Cecil say that.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hel: *sigh* At my old school we didn't go on field trips to the ocean.)
Lithaladhwen: (We read about them and asked people who'd died there.)
Arch mage144: G: Ah, yes. Extraction.
PapatymisonN: (Heh. What an excellent show.)
Arch mage144: G: That...is uncertain at this phase.
CGNakibe: Ah. Such confidence, sir.
T3chn0Namagomi: *shrugs* What can we do?
Arch mage144: G: Your mission, after the base is established, is going to be joining the rest of the forces invading via the underground tunnels.
Lithaladhwen: ....Best case scenario we'll likely end up staying with the people down there and invading when they do.
T3chn0Namagomi: Thought so.
Lithaladhwen: Worst case scenario we die before then and can't help anyone.
CGNakibe: Ah. Thought so.
OMG Priam: I see.
T3chn0Namagomi: Easiest way to get us out is in the base.
OMG Priam: I presume that the facilities will have the ability to provide us with food and potable water during the span of the mission?
CGNakibe: And Helena? That sounds like the usual case.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Lithaladhwen: *grins*
T3chn0Namagomi: They expect people to live there.
Arch mage144: G: Yes, the seabase is equipped to handle your presence. It's a temporary installation, but it'll have all the comforts of home.
PapatymisonN: I'm bringing a bag of balloons. Extra large. Just in case.
Arch mage144: G: Just more salt. And more fish.
OMG Priam: Yes, sir.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oooh. Fish. Been a while.
CGNakibe: Hopefully no fish tacos.
Arch mage144: G: You depart in...*looks at watch* 15 minutes.
Arch mage144: C: I hope not. Those are gross.
CGNakibe: The last time I had those they gave me a stomachache.
PapatymisonN: Better motor, then.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets up, runs!*
PapatymisonN: *heads out*
OMG Priam: Permission to be dismissed, sir.
PapatymisonN: *gives his girlfriend a goodbye kiss before snagging his axe and getting in his machine!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Gets her own stuff ready to go. ..Not that she has much.*
CGNakibe: At your command, sir.
Lithaladhwen: *has no one to kiss goodbye*
T3chn0Namagomi: *likewise!*
Lithaladhwen: *unless she decided she suddenly liked Tara*
PapatymisonN: (That'd be hot.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (That'd be bad slash)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Bad OOC slash)
Lithaladhwen: (Indeed.)
PapatymisonN: (The only kind of slash there is!)
Lithaladhwen: (And indeed again.)
CGNakibe: (Zeiren: Requesting permission to watch hot babes kiss!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (That's like..Tareen deciding she wanted to write slash)
CGNakibe: (Zeiren: Uh... SIR!)
Lithaladhwen: (Hel: eh....granted.)
Arch mage144: G: Permission granted, of course.
OMG Priam: *salutes*
OMG Priam: ...Permission to speak freely, sir.
Arch mage144: G: Granted.
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is always good.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM:Well, this'll be a bit different.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: At least I'm used to jumping, so...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Plus, if she feels like it, Nanashii can help
OMG Priam: I'm worried about the composition of our unit. Half of them behave like mercenaries or school children. My confidence in their military mindfulness is shaky.
Lithaladhwen: *smirks*
Lithaladhwen: Which one am I?
Arch mage144: G: You are not alone in your concern, Private Redford.
Arch mage144: G: But this unit has gotten results, despite the brass's predictions to the contrary, and that's why things are going forward this way.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hey, I can fix things you didn't know existed!
T3chn0Namagomi: (Aw, but they wouldn't be nearly so LOVABLE if they were normal!)
OMG Priam: I see.
Lithaladhwen: I didn't get an answer. *grins* Am I a child or a hired gun?
Arch mage144: G: No one thought Delta Unit was going to be worth a damn in a war, but they've succeeded against all odds. Capturing enemy mecha largely undamaged? Infiltration of a huge, maximum security installation?
CGNakibe: I'm clearly the child. *nod nod*
Arch mage144: G: Live retrieval of a high-ranking enemy official?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Does that mean I'm a mercenary?
PapatymisonN: (They're a ragtag bunch, but they're the best in the business!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..What's a mercenary?
CGNakibe: (The A Team?)
OMG Priam: I see your point, sir.
Lithaladhwen: Someone who kills people for money, Tareen.
Arch mage144: G: Good.
CGNakibe: Hey, I can see Tareen killing someone for pudding.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Didn't he say some time ago that there was just 15 minutes to departure?*
OMG Priam: Knowing that it has not gone unnoticed is...comforting, I suppose. I shall put it out of my mind. *salute*
PapatymisonN: *Yeah, cuz Oxblood's ready to go already.*
Arch mage144: G: Certainly. You'd better get ready, or they'll leave you behind, Private. We already talked about tardiness.
OMG Priam: Yes, sir. *goes!*
Lithaladhwen: *likewise*
CGNakibe: *Makes his way to where he needs to be, yaes.*
Arch mage144: *The group assembles in the hangar...and their armors/battlesuits are loaded into the incredible high-tech stealth dropship*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...now that looks weird
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: No verniers
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: It FEELS weird.
CGNakibe: IM: This is gonna work, yes.
CGNakibe: IM: .... it'd BETTER work anyway.
PapatymisonN: C: Com-check. If you hear me, say hello...
Arch mage144: C,C: Hello!
CGNakibe: C: Hola!
OMG Priam: C: Hello. Transceiving check confirmed.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: 'lo, Stinky.
PapatymisonN: ....
Lithaladhwen: C: Shut up, Zeiren.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: What? I missed it!
Lithaladhwen: C: And, oh. Yeah. I'm here.
Arch mage144: C: Zeiren, give him a break, seriously.
CGNakibe: C: Now isn't the time for that.
PapatymisonN: *cuts Zeiren out of his comtraffic*
CGNakibe: C: Systems checks.
PapatymisonN: C: If he says something I need to know, inform me.
Lithaladhwen: (Zeiren's title: Sassy. Sassy Demon.)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Aw, come on. I'm so used to it now.
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Oxblood: /Ignore Zieren)
Lithaladhwen: (Sneaky, Spooky, Stinky, Sassy, and Longbow.)
CGNakibe: (Longbow?)
OMG Priam: C: Don't worry. If he shouts "sniper," I'll be sure to relay that to you as soon as I can get to it.
Arch mage144: (PA reference FTW)
CGNakibe: (How'd Tareen get longbow?)
PapatymisonN: C: OK, that should be everyone.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (She asked for it.)
Lithaladhwen: (She called it first session.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Yep)
Arch mage144: *the dropship prepares for liftoff...*
PapatymisonN: C: And thanks, Redford.
PapatymisonN: C: I'm sure he'd care.
CGNakibe: (Ah, well.)
Arch mage144: *...and it is as silent as the grave*
Lithaladhwen: *there is a long awkward silent moment* So. Redford. *grins* Which one am I?
OMG Priam: C: Accidents happen.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Child or mercenary. Child or mercenary. Oh, gods, the choices.
OMG Priam: C, in response to Helena: That depends on what you're talking about.
Lithaladhwen: C: You said our squad feels like a lot of children and mercenaries. I asked you what I am, and you never answered.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: It's just a callsign. Sheesh.
PapatymisonN: C: I guess I'd be a child-mercenary. You know, the kind with guns strapped to their back.
T3chn0Namagomi: Z: Initiating Cyberplane dive.
Lithaladhwen: (Redford: Stodgy.)
OMG Priam: C: That is because I believe it is not important to single people out about this.
T3chn0Namagomi: N: ...Okay, I feel weird. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ME THIS TIME?!
CGNakibe: C: So we're all children. Good to know. Although that feels sort of like psychobabble.
Lithaladhwen: C: I call bullshit. I think you're being passive aggressive. Tell me. Am I cruel and heartless, or juvenile and vengeful?
TheWaiChibiAngel: (..Damnit)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (WoW has ruined me on Oxblood now.)
Arch mage144: *the dropship flies through the sky soundlessly, rapidly approaching its destination*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Because the soundclip came up on winamp:-)
PapatymisonN: C: Oh, if those are the choices, cruel and heartless.
OMG Priam: C: If you compel me to pick one, a coin toss says cruel and heartless.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ("I come from the Orcs, we eat with spoons and forks, we love to eat our PORK.")
T3chn0Namagomi: Z: ...Because we're fighitng underwater.
T3chn0Namagomi: N: ...DAMNIT! Why doesn't anyone love my perfection for what it is?!
Arch mage144: (Pr0k?)
Lithaladhwen: C: Really? Well. Good to know. Must be a family tradition or something. Even after all this, I'm still a mercenary at heart.
Lithaladhwen: *chuckles*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I suppose less has changed than I thought.
T3chn0Namagomi: N: I'm not like those OTHERS! After all, I don't burst into flames when shot!
PapatymisonN: C: Don't worry.
T3chn0Namagomi: Z: ...*sigh* Nanashii, will you stop already?
PapatymisonN: C: You're the cruel and heartless we LIKE.
CGNakibe: C: Meh. I'd take child anyday.
Lithaladhwen: *snorts*
Arch mage144: *Intercom: Within the hour we'll be at the drop point. Insertion should be relatively painless. Just relax.*
Besyanteo: (... That would tempt me to soak Nanashi in Kerosene and then shoot a flaregun at her. Not that it would do damage,)
Besyanteo: (Just to be a fuck.)
T3chn0Namagomi: N: I come from perfection! That's not to be tampered with! Ever!
CGNakibe: C: Yeah, that's what all the doctors say.
CGNakibe: C: The needles still fucking HURT.
T3chn0Namagomi: N: How come EVERYONE ELSE GETS A SAY BUT ME?!
Lithaladhwen: C: Depends on who you ask, but your sentiment is... mildly surprising. And appreciated.
T3chn0Namagomi: Z: ...*siiigh*
Lithaladhwen: *to Oxblood*
PapatymisonN: C: Look at me, the flatterer...
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Oh!
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Zeiren, your fingerprints are weird.
T3chn0Namagomi: C:...You snuck in and altered those components?
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Snuck in?
T3chn0Namagomi: N: ...WHAT?! SHE DID THAT?! THAT LITTLE FUCK!
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Using my biometrics
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I didn't sneak in; I had to fix your stuff.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: That's my job.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Yeah, but then you added a few extra things...
Lithaladhwen: ...
OMG Priam: *messes around with etheric energies a little, while he happens to have them amped up to be easier to play with.*
CGNakibe: C: At least she didn't "fix" Nanashii to spit potatoes.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: This "Field Ignition System"
CGNakibe: C: Or Pudding.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Cuz they wanted me to.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: They?
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
T3chn0Namagomi: N: Come on! LET ME STEP ON HER!
Arch mage144: C: I'd be more concerned about the potatoes...
T3chn0Namagomi: N: JUST THIS ONCE!
T3chn0Namagomi: Z: ...No.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Yeah. They were all "Go do this, Tareen!" and I was like "Okie dokie!"*
T3chn0Namagomi: N: KRRRRRGH!!! This just isn't fair at all!
Lithaladhwen: *sighs...again*
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Oi, Helena. Anything wrong?
OMG Priam: im: Even if it is the intent of command for the unit to act like this...I may never be used to it.
Arch mage144: *Intercom: We have reached the drop zone. The dropship will slowly lower to the surface of the water and release you. Prepare to dive.*
Lithaladhwen: C: You and Tareen. Don't mind me. '
CGNakibe: C: Be on your toes, folks.
PapatymisonN: C: Prepare for fun, guys...
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I only did what they told me...
CGNakibe: C: Didn't want to say it before but.... I honestly have a bad feeling going here.
Arch mage144: *there's a sudden jolt as the drop doors open and the mecha are released!*
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 2 1
OMG Priam: (Shape Water, just to cushion the impact. For Don.)
Arch mage144: *mecha and battlesuits alike are plunged into the depths without further warning...*
Arch mage144: ('kay)
CGNakibe: IM: Now ISN'T the time to wonder if they upgraded this right. >.<;;
Arch mage144: *SPLOOSH!*
CGNakibe: *SPLOOSH*
TheWaiChibiAngel: AGH!
Lithaladhwen: *splish*
T3chn0Namagomi: N: AAAAHHH!!! THIS ISN'T WHAT I WANTED!!
T3chn0Namagomi: N: WHO DECIDED THIS?!
Arch mage144: *It's really disorienting, sinking this quickly...mecha are heavy*
T3chn0Namagomi: Z: ...*sigh*
OMG Priam: *drip*
PapatymisonN: ... whoa...
Arch mage144: *a school of fish goes by, all colors of the rainbow*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Well, here goes nothing...
PapatymisonN: C: I like this...
T3chn0Namagomi: *tests out the underwater maneuvering by slight motions and all. Trying slight bursts with the new propulsion*
Lithaladhwen: *watches the fish*
Arch mage144: *a squid half the size of a man jets past, takes one look at the rapidly descending Helena, and sprays ink at her in a panic before jetting away*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Lithaladhwen: >_o
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
PapatymisonN: *snicker*
CGNakibe: C: Jump boosters... firing. *a quick boost here...*
PapatymisonN: C: You OK there, Hel?
Lithaladhwen: *attempts to move past the ink, still laughing*
Lithaladhwen: C: Yeah.
Arch mage144: (Roll piloting, both of you, at -4)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Heh. How amusing...
OnlineHost: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 1
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 5

T3chn0Namagomi: (6 < 13)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Er, 12)
Lithaladhwen: (What the shit, Shini?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Either way)
Lithaladhwen: (Goodness me!)
Besyanteo: (Tareen and water have a history. Is this about that? :o)
Arch mage144: *It occurs to the pilots that to some extent it doesn't matter which way down is; sure, you sink, but your thrusters give you enough propulsion in whatever direction that you want that there might as well not be one*
PapatymisonN: *just content to sink, for now...*
T3chn0Namagomi: PC-S: Nice, I say.
T3chn0Namagomi: PC-S: I could get used to this
CGNakibe: C: Alright. This could work for me.
Arch mage144: *In a sense, fighting in water is just like fighting in space...except that there are more schools of fish*
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Right. What's the longest ranged stuff each of you guys have?
Arch mage144: (Roll sensors, everyone)

CGNakibe: (Failure here too)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Failure!)
T3chn0Namagomi: Gamma Rifle, eh?
Arch mage144: *Mother of shit, that's a huge object on the radar, at least as big as a mecha!*
PapatymisonN: (Wait... Electronics - damn. Fail.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (That's no whale...)
CGNakibe: What the....
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Switching to thermal!
PapatymisonN: (And that's no moon, either!)
OMG Priam: C: What?
CGNakibe: (Depends. Which end of it are we looking at?)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: There's something damn big here, that's for sure.
OMG Priam: C: Where?
Arch mage144: C: I've got no visual, and sensors aren't picking anything up either. Are you sure?
T3chn0Namagomi: C: My radar's got something
PapatymisonN: C: Someone tell me what's out there!
CGNakibe: C: You're positive?
Arch mage144: C: I think all the fish and sea life are interfering with sensors...
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Affirmative.
OMG Priam: Where at, Private?
OMG Priam: *C:
T3chn0Namagomi: *does the IR signal match an Armor?*
Arch mage144: *the group is now too deep to see anything without using light amplification or thermal vision, because the sun barely gets down here*
Arch mage144: *nope!*
Lithaladhwen: .....
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is no good.
Arch mage144: (Zeiren, roll to dodge.)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Hm...odd. Thermographics don't match an armor. Switching to light amp

TheWaiChibiAngel: C: HHHHHHHHH!
CGNakibe: C: Shit... Zeiren... MOVE!
T3chn0Namagomi: Z: Field ignition! Now!
T3chn0Namagomi: *What is it? Can Zeiren see it by now?*
Lithaladhwen: ...
Arch mage144: *there's a huge creature attached to Zeiren's mecha, a large pseudopod-like mass with hundreds of writhing tentacles...which suddenly glow bright pink*
Lithaladhwen: C: The shit?!
Arch mage144: C: Oh, man! It's the rare gargantuan anemonae!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
OMG Priam: *Jets in that direction!*
Arch mage144: C: I never thought I'd get to see one for real!
T3chn0Namagomi: Z: Field Ignition, now!
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: ...Ahhh?
PapatymisonN: C: Cool.
Arch mage144: (Pause)
PapatymisonN: C: Should we let it eat him?
PapatymisonN: (Kay.)
Lithaladhwen: C: Cecil, how do you know that and how do we kill it?
Lithaladhwen: (Kay.)
T3chn0Namagomi: N: Oh, yeah. Why do they only install it on POINTS
Arch mage144: *The creature has Zeiren from behind, which means he has no way to reach it with a melee weapon like that*
T3chn0Namagomi: N: Why couldn't they have at least made it something USEFUL
Arch mage144: (Roll a quick contest of mecha ST to break free)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (brb)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 5
OnlineHost: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 4 5
OMG Priam: (Donovan is also preparing a spell, if this matters.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (ST 130)
Arch mage144: (It's a ratio thing when we're talking about high ST creatures, so it's effectively 13. You succeed by 2.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Right)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Either way, rolled the same thing)
Arch mage144: *Zeiren can't get free! The creature's tentacles are gripping it strongly...*
Arch mage144: *Combat time starts now--Donovan is concentrating, 1 second*
CGNakibe: C: Couldn't it have been a little MORE rare?
OMG Priam: (Unfazeable. Does that get me an earlier action?)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: It indeed could have!
T3chn0Namagomi: N: NO! DAMNIT! I'M TOO PERFECT TO BE EATEN LIKE THIS!
Arch mage144: (Hmm. Sure. You get a "surprise round" of sorts. I'll say you started concentrating before the combat started.)
Arch mage144: (If you're only casting a 1-second spell it'll go off on your turn this round.)
Arch mage144: (Tareen's turn)
Arch mage144: *The good news for Zeiren is that it doesn't seem like the creature is damaging his mecha*
Lithaladhwen: (Did we roll initiative or not?)
Arch mage144: (You don't roll initiative. It's based on speed.)
Arch mage144: (I have all your speeds recorded.)
Lithaladhwen: (Noted.)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: ...at least it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. Yet.
T3chn0Namagomi: (And Nanashii could indeed tell if it was hurting)
Arch mage144: (Anyone have a biology skill? XD)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (No!)
T3chn0Namagomi: N: Eww, gross, gross, GROSS!
T3chn0Namagomi: N: Come ON!
Lithaladhwen: (No. Helena only knows about it if it's dead or a plant.)
PapatymisonN: IM: I knew I should have opted for the tesla coil...

T3chn0Namagomi: *obviously has comm with "Stinky" closed, so he can't hear it*
CGNakibe: C: What the heck IS it doing?
T3chn0Namagomi: C: ...If it tries to tentacle rape it, Nanashii will have a FIT
PapatymisonN: *has actually just stopped Zeiren from talking to him. His broadcasts still go out to everyone*
Arch mage144: (What? You mean no one took marine zooloogy [M/H]?)
Arch mage144: (You guys are so poorly prepared!)
OMG Priam: (Sorry =( )
Arch mage144: (It's Tareen's turn, Shini)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Oh, you expect us to fight indigenous giant tentacle monsters?)
CGNakibe: (We didn't know! ;_; )
T3chn0Namagomi: (You expect us to KNOW to fight them? XP)
CGNakibe: (This wasn't covered in The Manual!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hang on, I'll save you from the octopus!
OMG Priam: (RARE indigenous giant tentacle monsters)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *CHARGE. :D*
Arch mage144: C: Tareen, it's not an octo...
Arch mage144: *Tareen is at melee range, approaching the giant anemonae from behind*
Arch mage144: (Serran)
CGNakibe: *Speeds forwards, but isn't really sure what to do just yet.*
Arch mage144: (You're as close to it as you want to be.)
Arch mage144: (Helena)
CGNakibe: IM: Maybe this is a little TOO close. >.>;;
Arch mage144: *The thing really is a giant sea anemonae; it doesn't seem to be able to reach its tentacles behind the cone-shaped arc in front of its "mouth," which is presumably deep within its body*
Arch mage144: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Haeckel_Actiniae.jpg in the event you're uncivilized and don't know what it would look like >.>)
Lithaladhwen: C: Can this thing feel pain, or not? It doesn't... doesn't look like it can.
PapatymisonN: C: Looks nice and soft to me... like living gelatin...
PapatymisonN: IM: Which means... ^_^
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: HEY. There's nothing wrong with that!
Lithaladhwen: C: I don't know what else to do but help you hurt it... if I can.
Lithaladhwen: *attempts to get within casty distance*
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is stupid. Giant seaflower beast.
Arch mage144: C: I think they have a nervous system...they'd have to...
Arch mage144: *You're close enough to touch it if you really want to!*
Lithaladhwen: *Ew*
Arch mage144: *and concentrating*
Lithaladhwen: (Ja.)
Arch mage144: (Donovan)
OMG Priam: C: Be ready to break out, Zeiren!
OMG Priam: *Destroy Water, centered on the thing!*
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 3 6
OMG Priam: (15 = 15)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Fine by me. I work better when I'm NOT being grabbed.
Lithaladhwen: C: Could tell when Tareen was flirting with you earlier. You kept losing your game.
Arch mage144: (That's an area spell; how large an area are we talking?)
OMG Priam: (I'm thinking an even sphere of whatever I can get for the default cost)
Arch mage144: (That's one yard across and roughly two yards tall)
Arch mage144: (The creature itself is way bigger than that)
OMG Priam: (Multiplier for battle suit doesn't affect that?)
Arch mage144: (No.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: That was a dare and you know it!
OMG Priam: (Misunderstood. Can I change that to a Frostbite attack?)
Arch mage144: (OK!)
OMG Priam: (Coincidentally, my Frostbite skill is 16, so that's a clean pass)
Arch mage144: *Sure*
OMG Priam: (And I'll target the whole body rather than a specific part)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 2
Arch mage144: *Donovan attempts to freeze the creature's flesh...but the spell doesn't seem to have an effect!*
Arch mage144: (HT-resist.)
Arch mage144: *some ice crystals form in the water, but that's about it*
Arch mage144: (Oxblood)
OMG Priam: Damn! *preps another*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Hey! What about me?)
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood: What ABOUT you? :P)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren: I'm pretty. ^.^)
Arch mage144: (You got your turn at the beginning of the round!)
PapatymisonN: (How close am I, Brian? Melee range already?)
Arch mage144: (If you want. You're all pretty close together
Arch mage144: )
T3chn0Namagomi: (...didn't others get to move? or somesuch?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Before combat time?)
Arch mage144: (No.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Might've been me)
OMG Priam: (Only me, and that's with a special advantage)
PapatymisonN: *ignites his axe, and takes a swipe at the creature!*
Arch mage144: (Roll melee)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 1 6
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 6 5
Arch mage144: (Roll damage)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 4 6 3 2 5
PapatymisonN: (22x40=880 damage.)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood's energy axe comes down hard, slicing straight through the creature's body like soft cheese, separating the "tentacle" blooming end and mouth orifice from the tube foot*
Arch mage144: *An endangered species is now just a little more endangered, but at least Zeiren is safe*
Lithaladhwen: *watches the parts drifting in the water*
PapatymisonN: *woopty-fucking doo. e_e*
OMG Priam: *dispels the new spell in his hand*
Lithaladhwen: *mutters to herself* I bet I could make something cool out of that.
Lithaladhwen: *not on the com!*
Arch mage144: *there's a lot of goo in the water now, who knows what it is, exactly*
CGNakibe: C: Well... that was... odd.
T3chn0Namagomi: *jets away from it!*
OMG Priam: *shakes his hand a little*
OMG Priam: *casty motions!*
Arch mage144: *the tentacles, no longer brilliantly phosphorescing, start to sink to the bottom of the ocean*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: ...AAAAHHHHH!
PapatymisonN: *unblocks Zeiren* C: You're fine, right?
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 1 3
Lithaladhwen: C: I kind of liked that thing. I want one.
Arch mage144: *Tareen finds herself in the midst of a cloud of a lot of weird inky bloody chunks*
OMG Priam: (10 < 16, conjuring a Fireball)
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: You know, next time they bother to build a base around here, they should make sure to clear out all potentially threatening wildlife...
Arch mage144: *Success; now what will you do with it?*
OMG Priam: *Watch it. Contain it. It still exists, in the water?*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Zips out!*
Arch mage144: *Yes, it burns underwater...*
Arch mage144: *water that hits it vaporizes immediately, creating a weird steam capsule*
Arch mage144: *It's hot!*
OMG Priam: *chucks it, and watches its path, comparing to the path it might take above sea level.*
Arch mage144: *because the fireball is almost, but not quite, solid, it arcs a bit like a thrown baseball; its velocity doesn't seem to be too badly affected by the water, however*
OMG Priam: C: Good to know.
Arch mage144: C: Heh. Doing an experiment, Donovan?
OMG Priam: C: Naturally.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Good man.
CGNakibe: Well, that's interesting.
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: Watch your sensors, everyone.
Lithaladhwen: C: Oh! Tareen.
Arch mage144: C: Just don't use any lightning spells. I think they removed any tesla coils you guys were using. *laughs*
CGNakibe: (*C)
OMG Priam: C: Got one more to check before we move on.
CGNakibe: C: Honestly didn't think you could do that.
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 1 4
OMG Priam: (Create Air.)
Arch mage144: *Bubbles*
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Finding which way is down, huh?
OMG Priam: (I know the listing says it creates bubbles, but Donovan doesn't know this...until NOW =O )
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Can we go home now?
Lithaladhwen: C: Tareen! I have an important question. You grabbed a waffle before, but you didn't get a chance to eat it. If you did, what were you planning to put on it?
OMG Priam: C: No.
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C:No
Arch mage144: C: No, Tareen, we have to go on an undersea adventure!
Arch mage144: C: Hey, I think the seabase is down there. *point*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren's worst enemy! Grappling!)
Arch mage144: C: We're almost at the sea floor..and...whoa!
T3chn0Namagomi: (Hell. MY worst enemy!)
PapatymisonN: C: ... whoa?
OMG Priam: *Jets. Abruptly stops, at "whoa!"*
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: Base?
T3chn0Namagomi: *zooms in sensors, if possible*
Arch mage144: *the sea floor is covered in luminescent kelp and other marine life*
Lithaladhwen: ........
Arch mage144: C: They picked a pretty cool place to build the base.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Awww, but I've already been on one!
Lithaladhwen: C: It's like being above one of your cities.
CGNakibe: C: .... you don't see THAT above the water
Lithaladhwen: C: That's amazing.
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: At least we know where the floor is. And indeed.
PapatymisonN: ... that IS cool...
OMG Priam: C: How tactically unsound. This isn't going to be fun.
CGNakibe: IM: She keeps saying "Your"
Lithaladhwen: C: I didn't think I'd ever see anything like that again.
Lithaladhwen: *smiles a little*
Arch mage144: *Cecil lands on the ocean floor*
Lithaladhwen: *shakes it off*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Lands, too!*
Lithaladhwen: C: But seriously. Tareen. Your waffles.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Waffles!
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Woo, waffles.
Lithaladhwen: C: What were you going to put on them?
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Waffles are awesome.
Arch mage144: C: Gah! I think I'm tangled in some seaweed. Er, no worries. The base is over there. *points to a vaguely camoflagued dome structure*
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: Right. Set up a perimeter patrol, in two groups of two and one of three.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: ..I can't eat these waffles.
Arch mage144: C: You mean you don't want to go inside the base?
Lithaladhwen: C: I know. But you grabbed one. What were you going to do with it?
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: It's operational?
Lithaladhwen: (Helena has a disadvantage that forces her to do these things, I swear.)
PapatymisonN: C: This reminds me of that Dosnay animated movie...
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: ..Look at it.
Arch mage144: C: The force field's up. Look!
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: Right hten.
T3chn0Namagomi: *then
PapatymisonN: C: The ... Smallest Sushijin, that's it...
OMG Priam: C: As odd as it seems, I agree with Zeiren. Our mission starts immediately.
Lithaladhwen: (Ack. Awful.)
PapatymisonN: (Quite.)
Besyanteo: (:-( )
CGNakibe: We need to sit out here and guard the place.
Arch mage144: C: They're not done with the construction, but they had to put up a force field to start building anything...
Lithaladhwen: C: Doesn't seem odd. Seems pretty reasonable to me.
PapatymisonN: (Oh, Bes. Posted to the Snapdragon.)
OMG Priam: (!)
Besyanteo: (!)
Arch mage144: C: *drops to his hands and knees, crawling around on the rock...is he chasing a lobster or something?*
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: I'll team up with Serran here.
CGNakibe: (Does Charles like the Azula mask?)
PapatymisonN: (It works.)
PapatymisonN: C: Cecil, what are you DOING?
OMG Priam: (Oxblood, I want you out here with me. The others should go in and make our presence known.)
Arch mage144: C: Base, please respond, this is Field Medic Cecil Elmine...I found a lobster and I'm watching it!
OMG Priam: (Except that's C: and not parenthetical)
Arch mage144: C: *ahem* Ah, disregard that, base...
Arch mage144: *static*
Lithaladhwen: C: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: ...
Arch mage144: C: I don't think they're paying attention to radio. They're going to great lengths to make themselves not noticeable.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: AGH!
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Look!
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: Pretty much.
PapatymisonN: C: ... kay...
Arch mage144: C: Huh?
Lithaladhwen: C: Uh... kaaaaay. Anyway. I can go in if someone has to do it. I'm human-sized and won't be too much trouble.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: It's one of those!
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: A...Crab Battle!
Arch mage144: C: Those what?
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: You do that, Helena.
Arch mage144: C: ...crab battle? They're fighting?
T3chn0Namagomi: (URGH! CRAB BATTLE!)
PapatymisonN: C: Yeah, of course I'll stay out here.
Lithaladhwen: C: Rrrrgh. We don't have time for this. Can we just do something please?
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: ...Actually, I think it's just a rock.
T3chn0Namagomi: (OLIOLIOLIOLIOOOO!!!)
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: I have a better idea.
Lithaladhwen: (RRRGGGHHHH CRAB BATTLE)
OMG Priam: *starts jetting around the area, getting a feel for the size of the place, and possible tactical vulnerabilities and strengths*
Arch mage144: C: The ocean is really neat. I should've been a marine biologist.
Arch mage144: *Okay, here's the gist of the locale*
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: He doesn't have that much on range
Lithaladhwen: IM: I either want to go inside, or go back up and look down again. I liked that.
PapatymisonN: *follows along with Redford*
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: His weapons top out at 2500 yards.
Besyanteo: (We try this sleep business again!)
Lithaladhwen: (Good luck, Bes.)
PapatymisonN: (Later.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: The ocean is full of things...
OMG Priam: (Peace)
CGNakibe: (Here's hoping you have more success!0
Besyanteo has left the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Man, that's like my eight reference tonight.)
Arch mage144: *The undersea base is less than a mile away from the continental shelf. Like the coasts of Africa, this coast is so steep that the continental slope is nearly 90 degrees.*
Lithaladhwen: (Jeez.)
Arch mage144: *This basically means that a mile away from you you're backed up against a wall.*
PapatymisonN: *wonderful...*
Arch mage144: *The base itself has a forcefield that extends about 20 stories up at the apex; it's a dome.*
CGNakibe: (A Biodome. *shot* x.x)
T3chn0Namagomi: A-C: Comparably, the range readings on mine rate at maximum optimum range of 6000 yards, max range 12000 yards.
Arch mage144: *The surrounding sea floor is hilly and rocky and unstable, not good for running on; you're better off floating around or using jet propulsion and ignoring it.*
T3chn0Namagomi: (*pisses in the water*)
Arch mage144: *There's functionally no cover whatsoever; everything comes down to maneuverability and positional jockeying, like in a dogfight.*
CGNakibe: C: This isn't exactly the best place for a brawl.
OMG Priam: *Is it clear on which side of the thing the drilling mechanism is going to go?*
PapatymisonN: C: If they find us, it'll be one hell of an interesting fight.
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: Indeed.
T3chn0Namagomi: *is also scouting for tactical advantages, by the way*
Arch mage144: *The drilling naturally has to go into the continental slope*
Arch mage144: * slope| O *
Arch mage144: (Where O is the seabase)
Arch mage144: (That diagram in retrospect makes no fucking sense)
Lithaladhwen: (Yes it does.)
OMG Priam: (Whatever, we get the idea)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Who's idea was this?
T3chn0Namagomi: (We do)
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: Command's.
Lithaladhwen: C: The Powers That be.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Tareen, in retrospect, makes no fucking sense.)
Lithaladhwen: (Oh my!)
Arch mage144: C: It's not the most defensible thing ever, but it's at the bottom of the ocean up against a cliff.
PapatymisonN: C: ... and ... mine, a little bit... <.<
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Yeah, but I thought one of us..
Arch mage144: C: What'd you expect?
Lithaladhwen: (Such a thing you say.)
OMG Priam: *Is any of this on a slope?*
Lithaladhwen: (Benthic zone. Not really, I'd imagine.)
Arch mage144: *Not really.*
Arch mage144: (Ashley knows her undersea geography)
OMG Priam: (*snaps fingers*)
Lithaladhwen: (I think benthic is the term.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *watching the sensors!*
OMG Priam: (Figured I'd try anyway)
T3chn0Namagomi: *has switched to radar again*
OMG Priam: What do you think, Zeiren? I see the way you're looking at the place.
Lithaladhwen: (I have just over twenty minutes of power left! =D )
CGNakibe: C: I'll just be happy if that crazy sea thing is the worst we see.
Arch mage144: (For the record, you're at a depth of something like 6,000 feet.)
Lithaladhwen: C: Yeah. Though we'll be mind-numbingly bored it if is.
CGNakibe: (Stupid laptop. START CHARGING DAMN YOU)
PapatymisonN: C: Mindnumbingly bored is uncomplicated, at least.
Lithaladhwen: (I'd have to reset the computer.)
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: If we get two long-range fighters here, one on each side, we should be able to get enough of a search perimeter.
Arch mage144: (Some light gets down here. You're not at the "total darkness" zone where nothing lives.)
CGNakibe: C: I can do bored. Bored is good.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Oh, stuff lives there)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (You just don't want to know about it.)
Arch mage144: (Well)
Lithaladhwen: (Ah, so we're not quite at Davy Jones' Locker yet.)
CGNakibe: (Brian: "Nothing lives"? Or does The Nothing live there?)
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: Then defenses can be switched as need be based on the direction of attack, if such occurs
Arch mage144: (Stuff lives there, but most of it is weird stuff)
Lithaladhwen: (The Nothing? From the Neverending Story?)
Lithaladhwen: (Scary.)
CGNakibe: (Crazy stuff lives down there, yes)
PapatymisonN: (No, the Nothing is what got into Elsa's head.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Tareen is also weird stuff!)
Lithaladhwen: (Charles has the right of it. Gave her a seizure, it did.)
OMG Priam: If we station someone on the precipice, we can also look over the base in the other direction, for total coverage, if at a bit of a distance.
Arch mage144: C: That sounds good.
OMG Priam: We can also use it as something of an impromptu chokepoint if need be.
Arch mage144: C: Other than that, I think the only thing we can do is patrol the perimeter.
Arch mage144: C: Unless you've got a better plan.
Lithaladhwen: C: Nothing better here.
PapatymisonN: C: It's about all we can do...
CGNakibe: C: Don't really see a better plan popping up too soon.
OMG Priam: Only for extended long range encounters. I'm afraid we're left with few options otherwise.
Lithaladhwen: *starts humming "what can you do with a drunken Valthi" for a moment*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Hey, can I go swimming later?
Lithaladhwen: IM: Going to be bored. Why do I know this song?
Lithaladhwen: *stops*
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: I volunteer myself for one of the watch positions; I have a long enough range, and my weapons have something that works suitably
Lithaladhwen: IM: Where did I learn that?
PapatymisonN: C: I'm on it too. I can take a beating and survive.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I think I'm gonna have to help build this thing.
CGNakibe: (Solis: Its like someone made a weird Zea-Robot or something!)
Arch mage144: (Someone make a tactics roll)
CGNakibe: (Solis: Robo Zea. What a scary thought.)
OnlineHost: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 2 5
Lithaladhwen: (Helena: Who the hell are you again?)
OMG Priam: (I'll take it too)
T3chn0Namagomi: (12 < 16)
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 2
OMG Priam: (8 < 12)
Arch mage144: *It occurs to you that the people doing construction are using a powerful force-field generator to create an area that keeps out water to build in as sort of a temporary protective dome*
Arch mage144: *It might be possible to use a smaller generator to create temporary "bunkers" of sorts*
OMG Priam: Hm. Helena, while you're checking in, would you ask them if they have any force field generators to spare?
Arch mage144: *The dome the generator projects can be formed with holes, allowing for them to be used as cover while still allowing fire*
Lithaladhwen: C: Sure. Anything in specific? I don't know shit about those things.
Lithaladhwen: C: Tell me what you're looking for.
Arch mage144: C: I'll go in with her and help.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Something that gives us "pillboxes" of sorts.
OMG Priam: If we can set up small domes of force fields, then we can establish bunkers of our own to fire from.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I'm going, too!
Arch mage144: C, to Donovan only: I don't think she gets it.
Arch mage144: C, to D: She's got...technology issues.
Lithaladhwen: C: Good stuff. Bunkers... I know. And they're good.
OMG Priam: C@C: Can I trust you to take care of it while you're down there, then?
PapatymisonN: C: That's a good idea, bunkers...
Arch mage144: C@D: Sure! We'll get stuff so we can set up defenses.
PapatymisonN: C: Saves our asses just a little bit..
OMG Priam: Worst case, if they don't have generators, we can hide out a little bit in the main one.
Arch mage144: C: The enemy shouldn't even know we're here. Let's just get settled in. We can't stand watch out here all round the clock while they build for the next week.
PapatymisonN: C: This is all assuming they FIND us.
Arch mage144: C: I'm going to go take a nap if nobody shows up in a couple hours. *laughs*
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: Hmm. Work in shifts, then?
OMG Priam: C: We can't? We should. We have to.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Or we could bury Zeiren in the sand!
CGNakibe: C: The enemy shouldn't've known about that base, and yet Elsa still came. -.-
Arch mage144: C: You're going to sleep in your battlesuit?
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: How about we don't
T3chn0Namagomi: N: ...I feel violated...
OMG Priam: C: Well, clearly all of us being out at the same time won't work.
Lithaladhwen: C: I agree with Redford. We really ought to make sure someone is ready to hold off anyone that stops by until the rest can get ready.
CGNakibe: C: Clearly.
T3chn0Namagomi: N: ...so very violated...
Arch mage144: C: Oh yeah! While you're standing watch, bored out of your mind, Serran...aren't you supposed to work on why they attacked that base?
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: I've got the search radius to catch them early
CGNakibe: C: Thanks for reminding me.
Lithaladhwen: (Ten minutes of power.)
Arch mage144: C: Okay. Hel, Tareen and I will go see about those force generators.
Arch mage144: (We're gonna call it quits until next week very soon.)
OMG Priam: C: Good. Establish positions, folks. Serran and Zeiren should alternate a bit, so we aren't left without long-range sensors for too long.
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: Indeed.
OMG Priam: C: One of you, take some R&R.
Arch mage144: C: Okay. I'll leave you pilots to work that stuff out!
CGNakibe: C: That'll be me, then.
Arch mage144: C: Let's get comfortable down here...we're going to be in this temporary base for at least a week!
CGNakibe: C: If possible its time to check on some Things, yes...
T3chn0Namagomi: C-A: Right. I need to work on maneuvering down here anyway.
Lithaladhwen: C: I guess. I don't... have anything to begin with. So I guess whatever they've got will be fine.
Arch mage144: C: I hope they've set up the cafeteria...
CGNakibe: C: I hope they're not serving any fish.
Arch mage144: *Slight timelapse okay?*
OMG Priam: Ox, you, me and Zeiren here for the first shift. Helena and I will also switch out, so that we always have magic going.
Lithaladhwen: *Please.*
PapatymisonN: (Go forit.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: ..You at a lot.
OMG Priam: *organization occurs! TIME PASSES*
Lithaladhwen: (Seriously. Do it.)
Arch mage144: *The group organizes...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yeah, timelapses are good*
CGNakibe: (Begin CATURDAY)
Arch mage144: *Serran begins his in-depth analysis of THE STUFF...*
Arch mage144: *Forcefield generators are procured! You've got two of them. I'll tell you what you can do with them more precisely later.*
Arch mage144: *The pilots, having taken the time to familiarize themselves with moving underwater, can freely do so at no penalty after eight hours of practice.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yay!*
Arch mage144: *And thus begins the long, boring guard duty...or does it?*
OMG Priam: (DUN DUN DUN)
Arch mage144: *Tune in next week to find out!*
PapatymisonN: (*the spacey SentanCorp Invaders come down, then reverse direction, and we shoot up, through our own shield!*)
Lithaladhwen: (*dramatic chord*)
T3chn0Namagomi: *GRAPPLING IS EVIL*
CGNakibe: (*DRAMATIC CHORD*)
CGNakibe: (Damn you, Ashley!)
Arch mage144: </RP>
Lithaladhwen: (Heh.)
T3chn0Namagomi: </RP>
Lithaladhwen: </Font>
OMG Priam: </beans>
Lithaladhwen: Yay! Just in time for me to shut down.
CGNakibe: </pork>
Arch mage144: Everyone gets 2 CP for being present and attentive and sitting through plot advancement.
Arch mage144: I have terrible things planned for next week!
T3chn0Namagomi: Seriously. You wouldn't believe how it seems like in any system, grappling is my worst enemy. XP
TheWaiChibiAngel: </Awesome>
Arch mage144: So everyone had better be present.
Lithaladhwen: Yay! Terrible things!
Arch mage144: Or else.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Oh wait, I can't turn off the awesome.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *gulp*
OMG Priam: Only if you remember to fricken message or invite me
PapatymisonN: I will be.
Arch mage144: Hah, sorry about that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *I'll try to be*
PapatymisonN: Bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Lithaladhwen: Bushy tailed!
CGNakibe: Charles is to remember that he is not Allik.
Arch mage144: How did I overlook you being online?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed is a squirrel on crack, dude.*
OMG Priam: That's a good question!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *To be fair, Priam, you weren't home.*
OMG Priam: I do not have the answer.
Lithaladhwen: Or a reference to the Life of David Gail.
Lithaladhwen: Which is what I did.
Arch mage144: You weren't home when I started started, true
OMG Priam: Well, yeah, but I came back and had NO idea it was going on
T3chn0Namagomi: *prays for 5 more CP*
Arch mage144: I wasn't paying attention to my buddy list to see if you'd shown up.
Arch mage144: And Shini didn't mention it. *laughs*
Arch mage144: I assumed you were busy.
OMG Priam: I technically was online the whole time
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Well, I did say "I have to take a wrench to Praim."*
T3chn0Namagomi: GRAPPLING AM EVIL
Arch mage144: You said you had to go fix his car or someting
Arch mage144: *something
OMG Priam: Yeah, I had some....problems
Lithaladhwen: Eep.
Arch mage144: After that I had no idea what was going on
Lithaladhwen: No good.
CGNakibe: Doug: I dunno. Grappling can be fun sometimes.
Arch mage144: At least you lost a grapple to a giant sea anemone that couldn't seriously wound you.
PapatymisonN: Unless you have an orc breathing down your neck.
Lithaladhwen: Just make out with you a little?
Arch mage144: Yeah, basically.
OMG Priam: Heh, Zeiren got his ass saved by Ox
PapatymisonN: Yes he did.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Too bad Ox needs to fuse with Karn to be effective.*
Arch mage144: It was firing nematocyst barbs capable of paralyzing sharks =P
TheWaiChibiAngel: *But not as bad as Gobi and Bo.*
Lithaladhwen: Nematocysts!
Arch mage144: Gobi might be useful here, underwater.
CGNakibe: But not MECHANIZED sharks.
T3chn0Namagomi: Doesn't change Zeiren's opinion.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Tareen could be useful underwater!*
CGNakibe: Hey, Bo wasn't TOO terrible.
OMG Priam: Water could be useful undertareen!
Lithaladhwen: Redford needs to bonk Zeiren and Oxblood's heads together until they pass out.
PapatymisonN: Zeiren would pass out first.
OMG Priam: Redford needs to bonk Zeiren and Oxblood's heads into commad
OMG Priam: *command
Lithaladhwen: Heh.
T3chn0Namagomi: Zeiren has more ranks in Tactics
Lithaladhwen: At least Helena isn't one of the children.
T3chn0Namagomi: Zeiren also has my bad die luck
PapatymisonN: If orc skin isn't thick, by Indari, orc HEADS are.
Lithaladhwen: She's one of the mercenaries, which is less condescending.
CGNakibe: To be mercenary at least means she's rich, right? >:P
Lithaladhwen: Yes. More money is less demeaning.
Arch mage144: Also, Priam, I think I know what you were trying to do with destroy water, and it was cool.
Lithaladhwen: Despite the fact that she has the "dirt poor" disad.
OMG Priam: =D
Arch mage144: It just wasn't going to work without you wiping out a lot more area.
OMG Priam: Yeah =(
T3chn0Namagomi: :-( I feel inferior
Arch mage144: The pressure would've had an interesting effect on an invertebrate.
OMG Priam: I was thinking as an alternate to do Create Air in it for embolismic goodness
OMG Priam: But again, the area of effect problem
Arch mage144: You can't cast create/destroy spells inside a creature, of note
PapatymisonN: ... does anyone elses' eyes hurt?
OMG Priam: Hunh.
Arch mage144: It's specifically prohibited by the rules.
CGNakibe: Around would work in this case.
Arch mage144: Dehydrate is the attack spell that does what you want.
Lithaladhwen: Dorothy's battery hurts. She says five minutes of power.
Lithaladhwen: ;_;
OMG Priam: Tell her to walk it off
Lithaladhwen: She's lasted a long time, though. That's my baby!
T3chn0Namagomi: I need to start using actual precision shots
CGNakibe: Good. Good
TheWaiChibiAngel: *My computer doesn't have a battery*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *It just forgets it works sometimes.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Our router however...*
Lithaladhwen: My computer forgets she has an adaptor, and so needs her battery.
T3chn0Namagomi: And, you know, taking advantage of the fact that Zeiren's modified ACC goes above 40.
T3chn0Namagomi: I need to do that.
PapatymisonN: OK. Eyes. HURT. Going to bed.
PapatymisonN: Night folks.
Arch mage144: Later man.
OMG Priam: Lates
Arch mage144: Mine too. It's been a long work week.
Lithaladhwen: Night.
Arch mage144: I haven't done 40 hours since summer.
Arch mage144: It's been a weird week.
Lithaladhwen: Good night all.
Arch mage144: Night!
Lithaladhwen: Much fun and hijinks with y'all.
PapatymisonN has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: *crushes the dice into fine powder, and tries to make new ones*
OMG Priam: BYE
Lithaladhwen: BYE GUYZ
