<> <> <> <<(go!)>> * Katherine eyes the swarm and says, after a second, ~ You know, up until now I didn't feel quite like I was fighting the insurmountable odds I'd heard so much about. ~ (How, uh, far off are they?) <> * Rochelle replies, calmly, ~Glad you feel better.~ ~ How far back does it reach, Roch? ~ ~'Bout five blocks.~ * Katherine pauses a second, then says, ~ Well, we did our jobs. Roch. ~ She grits her teeth. ~ Now... let's see if we can live to celebrate. ~ * Rochelle nods, though Kat can't see it. ~Hope so.~ She glances back. * Katherine smirks faintly. ~ No magic orders this time, huh? ~ * Rochelle shrugs, though again, Kat can't see her. (Did she turn off her Nadescovision?) (Oh. You have that? Then you see. :P) * Katherine nods slowly, closes her eyes for a second, then waves her hands to either side and says, group-ways, ~ Spread out and set up in a corridor. Blaze on the right flank, Krazors on the left. Thudniks at the end. ~ ~ We're gonna let 'em in and then just... let them have it. ~ <> * Katherine goes to follow her own instructions before turning off her visionstuff for a moment. A moment she spends with her eyes closed, silent before saying to Roch, ~ You still there, Roch? ~ ~Yeah. The flyers are gonna be a problem... I...~ * Rochelle hesitates, then says, ~I've gotta distract 'em. I think I see a way. Probably.~ * Katherine frowns before saying, ~ Shit, I can't argue, but... you've got nothing to fall back on, Roch. ~ ~Yeah.~ * Rochelle shrugs again. ~Still alive, though. See ya.~ Her boosters flare, and then she rockets south, towards the flyers. * Katherine smirks faintly and says to herself, ~ I'm going to have to bury enough people today, Roch. Try not to add one. ~ She pauses, then smirks more. ~ Not that we bury people in TC anyway. ~ <> * Rochelle gets their attention. HEY LOOK AT ME. Then she immediately zooms east. She's fast. Vroom! (You should trick them through the ion curtain!) (BREATHE BITCHES.) <> * Katherine looks out from her position at the oncoming purples. <> * Katherine mutters to herself, "Like mother like daughter." <> (Change east to west.) (Retroactive fleeing!) * Katherine nods very slightly. Pretty much in position is good enough for her! After a second of hesitation she says, ~ Open fire, people! ~ Beat, and a slight grin. ~ Tear them up! ~ <> (/panic) (Don't panic) (PANIC) (NYET) * Rochelle just speeds as fast as she can and looks around for a place to hide or make them run into something or something else. <> * Rochelle 's eyes glaze over slightly, and she scoots left, slowing very slightly for a few moments, timing something, before blazing ahead. (Do I need to roll?) (um, yeah, make it a body roll, acro counts. So does ss. (+)) (phone) (SS?) (I'd assume Super Strength, although for you he might have meant Sixth Sense. ^_~) (Yeah. ;P) (Super strength) (Whooo two things I don't have. XD) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 5. (DR1) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. (DR2) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 7. (... 'kay, number three, and then...) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. (Take the failure.) (... aiyah.) * Katherine , in the meantime, is doing what command does best, which is watching for the right point to ding up her suit. (... I just realized I could have reality warped that. Forgot all about it.) (Oh well.) (Save that for when they've got a gun to your head. It misfires and blows sp their hand!) (Excellent.) <> 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6+2) and gets 14, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Sorry, I don't take bribes. No, not even chocolate. No, not kinky sex acts, either." (Uh... I'm DRing that?) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6+2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 8. (Oh, DAMN.) (What?) (Harsh rolls.) (They are. Last roll and reality warping this one.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. (Nope.) (God, who pissed in dicesuke's cornflakes?) (He's been a fuck all week.) * Chamelaeon sets mode: +o Rochelle <> <> (Ha, that's funny. I'm crunched.) * Katherine launches out of her hiding position, saying, ~ If you're not firing, get into it! ~ and heads for the pack, sword comming into her left hand while her right arm comes up. <> (*snickers* If it's less than 10 tonnes I can lift it! If I knew I had to grab it.) <> (Okay, I'm a little confused.) (I'm on TOP of the building?) (You're against a spinning rock. The 'top' of the rock has spun to the side.) (You got smacked against that and it continues to spin.) (Uh...) (Ah. So, can I move? Can I still fly?) (Buildings usually sit like this - |~|. The top of this one is like this - ] (You're travelling forward faster than you can fly. But you can try to get to the side, and then fly off it backwards from there. Make sense?) (No.) (Phone.) (The building's not spinning. Think of it like a car. You're currently on the windshield. The car's travelling faster than you can walk, so you can't just hop off the front of the car or you'll smack back into it. You have to work your way to the side of the car and slide off it such that the car will then shoot past you.) (A big cubical car.) (Back.) (Am I facing the building or away?) (Facing. So you're on your front.) * Rochelle lets out a half-scream, half-yelp over the intercom, more from surprise than pain. She grimaces and clings to the building for a short moment, looking around to get her bearings. * Rochelle 's eyes widen slightly, and then she scrambles upwards. Or tries, anyway. She's not in top shape or something. <> <> (Well, can I get to melee range, and would people be in my backblast?) (I mean, my people.) (Yes and yes) * Katherine looses the red laser, although not the giant evil death cone, and slashes in the close range with her other hand. At high speed it's almost instantaneous! 2 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katherine (2 2d6-1) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 9 7. (I, uh, missed my target in a crowd of people with the laser, and did some good cutting with the sword.) (Make the desc.) (What you hit, you hit) <> * Katherine , uh, plants a laser off-target, wherever THAT thing lands, and her sword comes across from the left, slashing through the first body and pushing it back. She smirks to herself as she prepares to slash back, making a bigger dent into the crowd! 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6-2) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 8. (Only I'm not.) (... have you made a roll tonight?) (Nope.) (You smoosshed your chest into the antenna.) <> (It's too bad we don't have tristat's mookkilling rules.) (Owie.) (Then I'd have stats for turning these guys into goo.) * Katherine does the twist and slash, going two-handed and sweeping through. She shimmers, too, her personal force fieldl up for added protection! (She's suit-busy!) <> (Sing your way free, Roch!) (Actually, bartend her way free, but close enough) (Ha.) (Roch?) (Sorry, got so distracted and ow.) (almost done.) (Reality warp.) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rochelle (2d6-4) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 0. (THANK YOU.) <> <> * Rochelle lies there, gasping for air and staring upwards, dazed. (Armor! It's good for more than being shiny.) (Oh, and I should roll to not trip over my feet.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katherine (2d6-2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4. (WOO. I can swing it.) < (last poses) (Oh, I'm last posed.) <>
