<> * Vera smokes. * Vera idly glances out the door as she does. Or maybe not so idly. <> <> * Vera glances over her shoulder emotionlessly at Roch, then returns her gaze to the street. * Rochelle looks back at Vera, then she walks over. "Needed to smoke?" * Vera shrugs. * Threnody has joined #atc2three Nobody cares if you do it in there. (*skips off to get Diet Coke with Der Lime*) Whatever. * Threnody arrives on the scene, looking like he expected to find the two of you locked in mortal combat with Gojira. * Rochelle nods. "Someone's gonna come," she says seriously. "From the past. It'll be bad. Do you want me here?" * Vera asks, sounding indifferent, "Who?" * Threnody blinks, confused. "Who are you asking?" Don't know. ("Third base!") (HA.) Then no. If it's going to be bad, go hide with your family. Stay here and you'll just get in my way. * Threnody looks confused, knitting his brow. "Whose way?" (He's on second!) * Rochelle shrugs. She turns and walks back up to the apartment, avoiding white powdery stuff. "Hers," she says as she leaves. * Threnody glances back at Rochelle, then at Vera, then at Rochelle again. * Vera glances back at Thren, briefly, then returns her gaze to the street. She glances warily around. "You too, Thren. Nothing personal, but I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this." Besides, one of us ought to stay up there with them. * Threnody sighs, rubbing his temples. "I just want to know what's going on. Whose past is someone going to walk out of?" (I dunno. All of our pasts are SO HAPPY.) (Yeah, but... your past is dangerous, Vera's is unknown, and *mine* is likely to get us all killed very, very quickly.) * Vera shrugs. "Dunno... But this all feels so familiar." * Threnody blinks. "Familiar?" * Vera grins. "Maybe it's that Dorian guy. I'd like to kick his ass." * Threnody stiffens, hand going to the hilt of the (real) sword he wears on his left. "Someone's outside." * Vera draws her gun. <> "Well! Look who I found!" (...drawing a blank.) <> * Vera frowns. "Well crap. I didn't know you were in this area." (Might be why.) * Threnody glances at Vera very briefly, combat-ready. "You know him?" You should have called me, Malcom. * Vera points her gun at his face. "We could have done lunch." * Vera doesn't look away from the man as she speaks to Thren. "Head back upstairs. They may need you up there." "Last time we dined, I ended up getting shot. And fell off a roof. I'll pass." <> "Got me some new arms. Like 'em?" * Threnody glances at Vera for a moment. "Vera..." He then nods and starts backing up. "Don't do anything foolish, alright?" Yeah, about that... What's it gonna take to keep you from coming back this time? (I scramble away! Ninja vanish!) "I'm so full of cyber, you can't kill me!" (...totally read "fiber". What the fuck is with me today?) ("Oat bran makes me INVINCIBLE!") ( Well, fiber's good for you too. ) Why are you even here, anyhow? <> "Was good sellin' for cyber. Till I fell in with the guys that run the place now. Great crowd. Huge market for stuff." You don't say... Well, I guess we're not going to be making a fresh start, then. Don't suppose you'll just walk away? <> "Course not. You're on the hit list, honey, and that means more bucks for me." "Just like bounty huntin', only in reverse. Nice to have the tables turned, huh? (+") * Vera sighs. "That's what I thought. Oh well... Hold still and I'll try to make this quick." She opens fire! ( afk a sec ) <> ( Back ) * Dicesuke has joined #atc2three ( Need dice ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (d6+6) and gets 8. (You're lucky he's slow.) ( ^^; ) ( I'm gonna die ;_; ) <> * Vera charges backwards up the stairs, firing at Malcom as she goes. She aims for his knee. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-4) and gets 2. <> * Vera fires again! At his eye this time. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-4) and gets 0. <> "Not much left of me that's real anymore, you bitch. Falling out windows DOES that to you!" <> <> (Dodge +1) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d8-5) and gets 4. ( Just made ^^ ) (Pfft. Gland some prozac, Lyle Wagoner, nobody cares about you.) <> (How fast are you moving, Vera?) ( Pretty fast ^^; Vera's not one for close combat ) (Thought so, just checking.) <> (Vera's turn. Sorry.( * Vera moves up faster, hopefully. "If you were so worried about it, you should have quit after the first time!" She fires again, this time aiming at an elbow joint. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-4) and gets 6. ( Just on. ) <> * Kei has joined #atc2three * Threnody has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) * Kei is now known as Threnody * Vera fires again. "Open wide." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6) and gets 9. ( Pfft. ) <> "LOsing your touch?" <> Just warming up. <> 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-5) and gets 2. < (+>>) * Vera looks up and frowns. "Well damn. Can't go up anymore. Time to go back down." 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-4) and gets 3. ( Er... ) ( That should be -1 ) ( Still made though ^^; ) (Kay.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-2) and gets 5. ( And that too :D ) <> <> * Vera draws her other gun and rushes outside. <>
