<> <> <> <> (So we're just picking up where we left last time, no interruption or intervening time? Yes?) (Yes.) * Vera is watching DunnoWood! * Leopoldo is not. ( I don't remember much else except I was doing that and being disagreeable. ) (It's been three weeks. I don't remember jack. ^_^) * Ian is leaning against the wall, trying to get a grasp of the situation and failing miserably. * Threnody is slumped in a chair and alternating between looking dazed and headachey. * Rochelle inspects her nails and says, almost lazily, "Guess we should go there." Later. What, DunnoWood too fun to miss? * Vera grins. "Oh yeah. Wouldn't miss it for the world. * Threnody rubs his temples. "We can't just abandon Demetreia..." Right. So I'm stayin' here. You kids go have fun. Shouldn't the people who stay here be the ones that, you know... Don't fight? * Ian shrugs. "I've totally lost my grasp on all of this mess. Whichever group needs me, I'll go with, I guess." ( In case it was not mentioned, Deme had fun with remembering lots of things, and is staying with Andros for a while. ) * Katherine rubs her shoulder. "Staying here means that you're going to end up tracked down by the people we came here to avoid if you're here for any amount of time. Remember? Massacre in RNYC?" ( To recuperate.) * Rochelle shrugs. "She's not even here. If Dorian's followed Luanne, then he'll get here eventually, and things could get ugly." ( I thought she was in the other room being fiercely guarded by Edward >.> ) (That's what it says at the beginning of the previous log. ^^;) (No. She's being fiercely guarded by Edward, at Anton's house.) * Ian is, by the way, wearing a highly realistic lobster costume. It's grey, not red, since lobsters don't actually turn red until cooked. (... No. She's definitely staying with Anton/Andros/Whoever. ^_^;) (She's in the care of a giant polygonal monkey face!) (Someone we can pseudo-trust?) (ANDROSS, FRIEND OF CHILDREN!) (Isn't andros the giant monkey-guy in Star Fox?) (The old friend of the family, remember?) (No, but I'll take your word for it. :P) (Anton. My bad.) * Threnody stands up and furrows his brow. "I don't want to just leave her here, but... she can't travel, and I think time is of the essence." (Look, it's been three weeks for me too. >_>) * Ian nods. (I know. I was just pointing out something that looked odd. ^^;) Think she can catch up to us when she can start moving again? Yeah, but we'd better get going now. At least away from here. * Threnody nods at Rochelle. "I think the fact that SIG-ASP has some of the 'necessary' artifacts is the only thing buying us time." We hope. * Threnody grimaces. "We hope." * Katherine glances at Luanne. "We can always check back, if Luanne's staying with us a while, on Deme. Teleportation makes some things easier." She looks at Luanne sorta-questioningly. And if it's not, well, we have to count on it anyways, right? <> * Rochelle stiffens slightly, relaxing immediately after. * Vera watches wood. <> * Threnody blinks a few times, then rubs his temples. "I'm all for leaving. If we have to, we can take Anton and Demetreia back with us and secret them with ATC. They won't be safer anywhere else." * Rochelle looks up at Vera. Almost through her, even. * Ian nods. "If we can get ATC's resources, we may as well use them." * Fitzroy begins gathering his stuff up. "At the very least, I don't think we'll be able to come back here any time soon. You may have to take only what you need." * Vera doesn't notice. Her eyes on on wood. Should take the exos. * Ian nods, and collects his stuff, which is already in a neat little pile. * Rochelle gets to her feet and stretches. "And we should check on Anders and the rest of them." * Katherine starts walking towards Lu but suddenly looks at Roch. "Girl, I thought Thren was the one who read minds." * Rochelle shrugs. You brought them, right? I wish! I wasn't planning for heavy assault, and my suit draws attention. * Katherine suddenly seems surprised. * Threnody gives a glance at Luanne. "Can I ask a personal question?" * Leopoldo blinks. "Well, I have my exo with me. But it's nothing more than an overglorified space suit." <> "Yeah?" * Rochelle thinks. Not such a big deal. Luanne can teleport. * Threnody tilts his head. "With your power... how far can you go?" (Anywhere the plot lets me!) (Where the plot's wings will take meeeee!) (*snickers*) (Ha ha.) * Threnody suddenly grimaces, then shrugs it off. <> "Um, I don't know for sure. I can get from planet to planet easily enough." * Threnody makes a little face, then nods. "Well, that's... good to know, to an extent." Fine. Let's go already. * Ian nods. * Rochelle focuses on Vera again. "You comin', Vera?" Hell no. There's an hour long special on "DunnoChair" after this. * Threnody breathes out. "We can always send help back for Anton and the others. I'm sure Ronnie can do something." * Rochelle keeps looking at Vera. "You do know you'll probably die if you stay, right?" * Vera snickers. * Katherine looks distracted a little. She looks over at Vera with Roch's little accusation. At least this way it's by my hand and not yours, eh? * Threnody frowns at Vera. "You can do more to help them and everyone else by coming with us, even if you don't trust us." Why wouldn't you trust us? * Threnody ahems, then closes his eyes a moment. "Let's say 'trust me' instead of 'us' for the moment." * Ian blinks. "Um...what is this, all of a sudden?" * Katherine looks between Thren, then Vera, then Roch, then says in exasperation, "Oh, for fuck's sake." I know one thing. I know Thren has a rightous goal to take Dorian down, but he can't do it himself. * Threnody blinks, then gives Vera an angry snarl. "Pretty damn confident, th..." And then he cuts off and rubs his temples, eyes shut tight. * Vera turns to face Thren, smirking. "Who called whom for help?" * Katherine glances at Thren then says, "All of us would have if Ed hadn't ripped that hex to pieces. We'd be having this little meeting at the morgue." Dorian isn't just after Thren. He wants all of us. If you stay, you're the perfect target, in the perfect place. * Threnody keeps his eyes closed and takes a long, slow breath, saying nothing more. Just figured telling you what I thought was fair. It's your funeral. * Rochelle looks at Luanne. "So, can we go yet?" * Leopoldo looks at Thren, then turns back to the rest of the conversation. "You really should come with. Committing suicide is a waste of a life." <> "We can go whenever you're ready. Where are we going?" "Let's go. She can stay if she really wants, but I'm not paying the fees if she gets the place trashed." Red New York, I think, to get the exos. * Katherine sighs and says, "Christ, Vera, you have to know Roch is right. There's no damn way that a bunch of people can't do what two paniced people just did. And yeah. We've got to hit Ganky's." * Threnody nods in agreement, eyes still closed. * Leopoldo walks over to the side and picks up a suitcase. He sighs. "I'm ready to go." <> "Okay. Everyone take someone else's hand. Form a line." * Threnody blinks his eyes open (and then self-destructs!) and actually takes Luanne's hand with a faint smile. "Deja vu." * Katherine blinks, then runs back to her/Vera's room, as she doesn't have her STUFF. * Ian slings his bag over his shoulder, and joins the line. * Katherine makes the noises of the packing whirlwind. * Fitzroy joins the line. He's got his stuff already. * Rochelle takes Thren's hand and reaches over for Ian's... er... claw. Well. Y'know. * Leopoldo takes Ian's other claw and *sqeezes*. (Conga!) (Say 'ow', Ian. ;P) (The rhythm is going to get us.) * Ian erps. * Leopoldo blinks. "Oh, sorry. I just like lobster a bit too much." He smiles and relaxes his grip. A little. * Ian grins. (And then he strangles Ian.) (Wah!) (Bite your eye! >_<) (Dangit, you beat me to it.) (*reads logs and snickers* Oh yes, I'm sure Luanne feels as safe now as she did in Red Vladivostok. "A wooden sword? That's IT?") (*puts Ian on a plate.) * Katherine comes out with her stuff, and Eck, who has been AMAZINGLY docile over the past few days. She glances at Vera, then mutters something undder her breath and grabs on. "Hope you don't have trouble transporting cats." * Ian nods to Vera. "Whatever happens...good luck." <> * Vera rises to her feet. "Mmm. Before you go, though, I want to know what kind of plan Thren has for facing Dorian. * Threnody looks over at Vera. "I plan to kill him," he says in a flat, atonal voice. So you going right there, or what? * Katherine sighs at Thren's statement, then says, "Exos, old Anders base, then we have to figure out where they are. Hopefully they left clues." * Threnody nods. "We can't do much without equipment and preparations. One thing at a time." He sounds a little more normal now. Guess Roch didn't get around to telling you, huh. What? * Rochelle tilts her head. "Huh?" * Threnody blinks a few times. * Vera shrugs. "Oh well. I'm sure she'll get to it. And hey, I want to go back to the ESC anyhow, so I'll go with ya." I have no idea what you're talking about. * Katherine frowns thinly. "... you're getting stranger and stranger, Vera." * Vera disappears into her room. "Sure ya don't." * Threnody frowns also. * Leopoldo looks confused at Vera. "Make up your own mind." * Vera comes back a bit later with her meager belongings. "All set." <> "Take a hand." * Vera takes a hand! "Okay. Hold on tight." * Ian hangs on! * Leopoldo holds tight, but not so tight he starts breaking bones. * Katherine holds on casually. Sharp fingers make for bad holding. * Vera hangs on tight. <> <> * Leopoldo is draaaaaaaaged! * Threnody heads toward the light! * Rochelle is part of the portin' train! * Ian is LOBSTER IN SPACE. (It's like the text scroll in a Worms game. c.c;) <> <> * Rochelle drops hands once they're there. No more portin' train. * Vera looks up. She pulls out her sunflower umbrella and opens it. "Great. Thanks for the 'port." ...wow! * Threnody glances at Vera. "Do you really think what you're planning is wise?" He actually sounds reasonably concerned. * Ian disarms claws for landing. * Katherine makes an nnhing noisse and pets Eck, who is hopefully not too spooked. "Good trick." * Threnody also lets go of Luanne and Rochelle. Awww. Wow, that's pretty cool. * Vera raises an eyebrow at Thren. "What?" (Thren gets all the chicks!) * Leopoldo disarms Ian lite- I mean lets go of Ian. * Threnody sighs. "Never mind. I guess it was a stupid question." (Not all the chicks!) * Fitzroy nods "That was neat." * Vera shrugs. <> "I think the place is over that way." <> "I had a claim near it once." * Katherine blinks at Luanne, then says with a smile, "Ganky's? Yeah, it's not far." * Threnody hmms a moment, then produces his cel phone and dials a number! * Rochelle folds her arms and looks around. * Vera glances over at Luanne. "This the place you guys were staying, then?" <> "No. This is too easy to find." * Leopoldo rubs his head. Let's get the exos. Then we can find out where it is. I'm not going there just to get shot. * Threnody knits his brow as he listens to ring tones. "Maybe we should gather our things before we go back to where you were." I can't believe they wouldn't have our places staked out. At least mine. * Katherine mutters to herself after saying that. You're supposedly somewhere else, right? * Threnody blinks, blushing faintly. "...hot *what*?" A pause. "I need a favor. I promise an explanation as soon as we can give you one." Yeah, but we have to come back ssometime. Hell, _I_'d put someone on them. There's only a few. * Rochelle eyes Thren. * Leopoldo blinks. (Such a lunatic. What man hath wrought.) (^_^) Nobody ever said they were good stratagists. * Ian raises an eyebrow. ( O_O ) * Katherine rubs her head. "Yeah, but they only gotta be right once. Does anyone have stuff they really NEED?" Not me. Nope. * Threnody blinks again, blushing even worse. "Did someone spike your subprocessor with iron filings this morning? In any event, Demetreia, Edward, and a man named Anton are still in Red Sweden..." He takes a deep breath. "I'd like for you to arrange to have them sent to my mother's manor." Not really. Although finding a TVNet would help. * Rochelle shrugs and just heads to Ganky's. * Threnody can walk and talk at the same time! As soon as the head rush stops. * Ian follows! * Katherine eyes Thren and then rubs her eyes. "Well, that will make fascinating discussion." She walks too! After all, she NEEDS her suit. c.c; * Threnody also switches the phone to the other ear. "They're in danger. We all are. The situation with the Concordat has become considerably tangled, and there's nowhere saner..." He pauses. "SAFER I can think of." (Nice slip there.) (Now skating for Austria: Freud, Sigmund.) * Leopoldo walks. Go go GANKY'S! (They say he learned his famous triple axle spin from his mother.) * Threnody nods. "I know, and I know. I promise to send them to you when things are a little more settled." * Fitzroy follows. "What is it we're going to get again?" ("Killed.") Exos. * Threnody eyetwitches a bit, then hangs up the phone. "That was intensely surreal." ("I thought so") * Vera does not head in. * Katherine grins. "Is R. feeling the strain of never getting drunk or laid?" What happened, anyway? ("Just checking." ) * Fitzroy nods. Yeah. You really should fix that. * Threnody breathes out. "She was in a mood. But she did promise to send all three to Kyoto." (Keep talking, I'm trying to dig out Desc. >_<) * Katherine looks over at Roch. "Hey, she's the one who sent her mistress off to Sweden." * Threnody looks around. "I think they'll be safe there. My mother is a fairly spry 47." * Rochelle shrugs. <> * Vera heads there after all. (Oog. I'm confused) * Threnody winces a little. "Well, nobody would expect anything dangerous to be here." Pause. "Not for long, anyway." (You too?) (You're confused too?) (... >_> What is to be confused?) (We're all confused together!) * Katherine smirks. "S'why Ganky took it. Home away from home, if I were a grease monkey." She smiles a little oddly. "Some of the most dangerous non-corp exos in the city are here." * Rochelle nods. "Knowing stuff like that always makes me feel better." How intensely reassuring. Huh, I had no idea...this is near my place, too. (Look, if you're confused, there's a MAP.) (I DREW it. FOR YOU!) Hey, think of it like this. You don't get much more anti-anything than this. (For you! *bob*) * Katherine walks right on in! With her luggage! And a cat! (*eats Ian like a cupcake*) (Hopefully Luanne followed. @_@) <> * Rochelle walks in without a cat. * Threnody walks in with a great amount of terror. <> * Ian follows, in only a small amount of terror. ( Off-white is better? @_@ ) (Better than "urban decay", I think, yes.) ( What's on the outside, chipped Off-white walls? :P ) * Fitzroy steps in and glances around, pausing on the tripple-double doors. * Leopoldo walks in with terror of no? <> ( A *shark* fin? ) (TELEPATHY PUNCH! >_<) (I would like to disclaim that, despite this being my character, I was foolish not to describe him myself, and so now he is a shark joke.) ( Only if he's cool and comfortable. <.< ) <> * Katherine says with a smirk, loudly, as she walks counter-ward, "Hey, Ratbag. The fin still looks like shit." "Bite me, bitch. You gonna pay me for those exos that're sitting up in my storage bays rusting?" * Threnody looks between Kat and Ganky a moment, raising an eyebrow. "Charming." * Katherine grins. "You bet I can, Ganky. As long as you can wipe the rust off by the time I get up there." Yup. Quite. <> "Done." <> <> "You gonna introduce me?" * Threnody says, earnestly, "Indeed. I look forward to it." * Rochelle looks at Thren strangely because, let's face it, he's strange. (...Breasts! Balcony! Leo's ass!) (I HAD to open my big mouth.) * Katherine rolls her eyes and gestures back at the group and points at each of them, "You've met Roch slightly. Ian, Leo, Vera, Luanne, Roy, Th--Ouka... this is Ganky, mechanic to the bloody, shadowy, unsavory, and other people who can pay him. Ganky, a bunch of people who don't want exo parts or to pay you money." ( Thouka. ) * Ian waves a claw cheerfully. ( What's Ian today? ) (A lobster. c.c;) "Well, fuck the lot of you, then." * Leopoldo rolls his eyes and eyes Ian. "Put that down before you poke someone's eye out." (Sticking to ma - dammit) Sorry. ( *snickers* ) * Threnody smiles. Only a little forcedly. "It would be our pleasure." Oblivious little sod. * Rochelle snickers. Good meetin' you too. <> "He okay? I mean, in the head?" No. We're working on it. "I knew you were fuckin' batty, but I never knew you took the group home out for tours, Kat." <> * Ian laughs. "All the professionals say I'm fine. Everyone else..." * Threnody raises an eyebrow. "I am attempting to meet the totally absurd with a fine veneer of impenetrable politeness." * Vera twirls her hat on her finger. "Nothin' wrong with Ian. I think it's amusing." "So, you here just to drop by with the folks, or you have a reason fer wastin' my time?" <> ( The Duke *_* ) Like I said, need the two exos I've got with you. A little something to do. And hell, if it goes bad, you'll get even more money for parts, so I know you'll be praying for a lousy run. <> "You headin' out to one of them arenas I'm s'posed to know nothin' about but everyone tells me about anyhow? The, whatchacallit... Spleen Sports?" * Katherine says in a chilly voice, "No." * Threnody raises both eyebrows this time. The ones hosted by that Jesse guy? (... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.) (*falls over*) (XD) (Now we have to do it.) * Katherine pauses for a second, then says, "But since you don't know anything, you certainly wouldn't know how E-Hammer's doing, would you." (Hah!) "Right, right." <> "I don't know a thing. Especially not that she's hit one on the ladder again." "And naw, the one with that guy's different. Sell Yer Spleen. Er somethin." * Katherine smirks, "Yeah, shame about that." * Threnody looks between Kat and Ganky, then looks at Roch. "Is it bad that I'm actually considering calling Ronnie again just to have a normal conversation?" "Exo's're through the doors, past the part racks." <> * Rochelle looks back at Thren. "Yup." * Rochelle heads thataway! * Katherine glances back at Thren, then forward. "Thanks, Ganky. Dunno what I'd do without you. And fix the fin, it's off-center." <> * Katherine grins a little and walks door-ward. * Threnody stays right where he is, following Kat and Roch with his eyes. <> Such good natured aquaintances you have. * Katherine touches the surface of her exo briefly. It's all black and white and greys, sorta like a stylized humanoid wolf. "Like he said. He doesn't know anything about spleen suit. And people who don't know anything about spleen suit tend to be a little rough around the edges." (*eyes the time* Damn, it's flying. Let's hop into high gear.) Of course, of course. (We do seem to be occupying a little dead air tonight. It's very uncharacteristic.) (It's rather nice, but sadly I'd like to get through the preparation tonight. Who else has an exo they want?) * Katherine puts down her stuff, including handing Eck to the nearest person. Perhaps Luanne! And then she slips into the exo and starts it up. (Mine's unarmed, so enh.) * Rochelle taps her exo before climbing in. It's beige, with booster jets on its backs and behind its legs. Very, very plain. <> (Still better than nothing. ;P) (Let's just get the exos and goooooo.) (I have a gun. It doesn't. ^_^) (I have something to get, though exo it be not.) (Vera?) ( What? ) ( Oh >.> ) ( I guess...? If she needs it, sure. ) (Anything to get before you follow along? Or are you going to split off anyway? ^_^;) ( She could check out of her hotel room. :P ) (I'm not making the decision for you. Yes or no?) ( Roy's is still with his car, wherever that might be. Not sure if it would help him much. ) ( If she knows she needs her exo, then sure, let's get it. If not, don't. ) (How the hell am I supposed to know what Vera is thinking? >_>) ( ... Ok. Is Anders' hideout in deep space or something, or is it behind Joe's Diner on the street three blocks away? ) * Katherine 's suit speakers crack. They are in no way impressive, but they carry her voice, slightly distracted as it is. "Well, I'm as set as I can get." She walks off the rack and gently picks up her baggage. * Threnody nods. "Actually, I have something I'd like to pick up, also." (Nobody but Luanne knows, and I don't think anyone's actually asked her.) Good thing you mentioned before people were shooting at us. (But she's not wearing an exo, so.( ( I had figured we were fast forwarding. But ok. ) I'm all set, I think. My exo's unarmed, so I doubt it's worth it. * Rochelle jacks herself in and starts moving, too. Same here. I should have everything I need. * Threnody mmms. "I won't be long. Just have to get to the central ATCitiBank." <> "I can get you right there." "Everybody hold hands again, even the exos." * Ian blinks, and takes RochExo's hand. * Vera grabs a hand. * Threnody takes a hand, any hand, provided it's not Leo's or Ian's. Would it make a difference if my exo wasn't unarmored? * Fitzroy grabs a hand. * Katherine 's suit says, "... Well, there goes stealth." She does so, however. Her exo's hands are also clawed, and she makes sure that RochExo's one of the people in her chain. * Leopoldo takes whoever is silly enough to pre- Fitzroy gets his hand. * Rochelle looks down as Ian takes her hand, then takes... Katherine's hand, apparently. <> <> * Rochelle doesn't sit down. Suit. * Katherine also doesn't sit down! * Ian does sit down! * Leopoldo doesn't sit down. But he's used to it. :P <> "Ms. Birkhead, I ... how may we help you today?" <> "He needs something, not me. Thank you, though." <> * Threnody smiles and turns around. "Won't be but a moment." He then turns to the rep. "Actually, I'm here on business. I've come to collect a safe deposit box." * Leopoldo blinks, then shrugs. "Ah, yes sir. What name on the account?" * Fitzroy finds a spot to sit. * Threnody suddenly looks a little uncomfortable, then clears his throat. "Ikari. Ouka Ikari." * Rochelle shrugs. * Katherine does not sit! She just looks like so much metallic muscle. <> "IF you would be so kind as to 'print, we will have it brought immediately." * Threnody produces the mighty thumb. <> "One moment, Mr Ikari." <> * Threnody smiles. "Thank you." <> * Threnody nods in satisfaction, placing his thumb against the printer and opening the box. He takes out of it a black lacquered scabbard, sword intact. The hilt is consistent with most katanas, and the cloth wrapping is of a dark red color. He closes the box after. "My thanks." <> * Katherine 's suit head swivels to look at the sword in what might be a curious manner. * Rochelle blinks at the sword and lets out a faint 'huh', but doesn't say anything beyond that. * Ian blinks, impressed. * Threnody knits his brow a bit, then actually draws it. It is indeed a katana, and of flawless make though there's probably nobody left alive (even Thren) who could tell. "The Tsukitomi family honor sword, Guren, the Red Lotus Blade." He gives it a few experimental swipes through the air. "The third to last of the 1600's Bizen swords." <> Wow. That's older than a socom. * Leopoldo nods. * Threnody ties the scabbard to his belt opposite the bokken with the scabbard's red cord, and sheathes the blade. "It's been reforged 23 times. But, it's still a reliable weapon." * Katherine cracks out a, "Thren, any other day I'd wow until my face was blue, but we look like a bad TVNet sitcom out here. Luanne, to the base?" * Threnody nods. "I'm ready. Sorry." He smiles sheepishly. "It's a thing of great importance to me, so I like to babble a bit." * Ian nods. "Not a problem...I can certainly see why." Yeah. Just don't lose tha- What am I saying, of course you won't. <> "Hands again, everyone." * Rochelle uses her speakers. "You can tell us about it later." She takes Kat's hand and Ian's... er, claw again. * Fitzroy handgrabs. * Vera grabs someone's hand! * Threnody takes Luanne's other hand! She has two! * Ian grabs! * Leopoldo grabs! * Katherine is all grabbed up! <> * Threnody blinks. He's used to this teleport thing by now. "...Earth?" That was quite a distance... * Rochelle squints into the sun and her speakers crackle. "Less sunburn in a suit, I think. It works for me." ... Interesting. Why are we on earth? <> Because this is where they're hiding. Oh. * Katherine laughs a little. "Yeah, added bonus for Roch." * Rochelle points out the steps. "That it, Luanne?" <> (Cham... Just because it's before the 2020s doesn't mean it's ancient. We don't consider things from the 1930s ancient, do we? ^^;) (Well, with forests...) * Rochelle doesn't hesitate. She heads down there. (It was old growth prior to the 2020s.) (It had to be old growth in the 2020's, which was 60 years ago.) * Threnody looks around, knitting his brow. "I am suddenly gripped with a very uneasy feeling." (Think 400 year oaks.) * Ian follows, but very slowly. He's taking in the scenery. Just been? * Leopoldo walks, making sure Rochelle's in front. * Katherine follows behind Roch a little, but she's leading. "Uneasy how?" * Ian is following, but mainly starry-eyed. "...!" * Vera follows at the end, looking around. "Mm." * Leopoldo observes the natural fauna. "If I wasn't in fear of my life, I'd be taking pictures. Lots of pictures." <> * Fitzroy seems to be somewhere in the middle, and is looking around due to all the uneasy talk. * Threnody shakes his head. "Trying to figure out where this is. Not many places it could be... The Schwarzwald, maybe, or the Appalachians..." * Rochelle doesn't seem to mind. "Is it too dark for you guys?" (How big around are the trees?) (Fucking huge.) (FRIGGIN' HUGE) ( They're huge. I can say that for a fact, because I watched a documentary on it. ) Could be in old California, with the Redwoods? Or maybe the temperate Rainforest... * Katherine 's suit asks, "Luanne? You OK enough to answer the peoples' curiosity?" <> <> * Threnody turns and looks back. "I can see why she might not want to come. As for the light level..." He looks forward and squints. "A little low." * Katherine will get no answer, then! She eyes the door. "Luanne's not here, is she--oh, light." * Rochelle sends a command to her suit, and a small searchlight on her shoulder lights up. Now others can see the bloody handprints. Hey, saved me some fuel. <> Welcome. (IT AM A JAVA PACKAGE OMFG >_<) * Rochelle opens the door! (Cham? Take your medication.) <> <>
