[Day: Thursday, June 9th. Time: 8:00 p.m.] [Yesterday you invaded a building with a top secret lab underneath. It blew up. No one cared. Today you gather at the club room, 'cause I said so.] [Session Start] * Peter isa readin'. * Rei is at the club room, 'cause the GM said so! And she's working on her computer. And cursing at it. * Chie walks into the room. She's wearing a dark blue tank top and dark blue jeans, and her hair is no longer purple. Instead, it's yellow. Not blonde. Yellow. Bright yellow! * Lazar sits in his usual spot, next to Peter's desk. He's in golem form at the moment, and doesn't appear to have any of the nasty gouges he picked up on the last mission. * Chomei leans against the wall. Something seems to be on his mind. Come on, BOX, you know I love you, but why won't you- hey! Stop that! * Rei typetypetypes. * Maria sits on the wall near Chomei, looking thoughtful. Hey, guys. * Makoto is leaning against a wall, idly spinning a wooden yo-yo. The only way this is different from his typical routine is that he's picked a spot to stand that's much closer to Rei than his old one. ( Aww. Makoto is in wuv. ) Hi Chie! Hi Makoto! Hi other people! Hi BOX! Cooperate or I'm gonna use you for cucumber practice all over next week! * Chie looks in Chomei and Maria's direction, briefly narrows her eyes, then shakes her head and turns her attention to Rei. * Lazar waves at Chie, and blinks. "I thought you brave, little one. Why you turn yellow?" .. Cucumber practice? * Rei presses a button, then arghs and pulls at her hair in frustration. "Ow!" * Chie grins at Lazar. "Very funny, Laz." What's so frustrating, Rei? I just decided I wanted a change. Ch... mm? Kirby just won't go away! He's everywhere! In BOX and in my hai- no, just in BOX. But everywhere in BOX! * Makoto glances at Chie. Hey, your hair's different! .. What? * Lazar pops his human illusion back up, and grins. "Not every pun I make is accident." * Rei doesn't notice the hair, since she's too busy trying to fix her computer. Kirby? * Chie grins. "Well, yeah. Cause, y'know, certain other people..." *glances in Chomei's direction briefly again* "...won't let me work on theirs, so I had to do my own." Whoever they got there is really damn good and I haven't been able to get rid of this scheme all night! I worked on it all night! No cooking, just BOX! No driving, just BOX! My poor baby. ;_; * Chomei notices Chie's glance. Man, now they're both mad at me. * Makoto grins at Chie, and gives Chomei a look as well before retuning his attention to Rei and BOX. (It wasn't a mad glance. ^^;) (She was still grinning.) (Oh, well, okay. ^^) ( Sure it is. Chie's always mad! Mad, I say! ) You mean like there's some kind of virus, Rei? Couldn't you just wipe the whole thing out and start over? * Lazar stands up. "I assume hitting BOX would no work?" * Rei sniffs. "I guess I could, but do you know how much reinstalling that'd take, not to mention the custom programs and... No hitting BOX!" I think that only works with cars and refrigerators, Lazar. And microwaves. * Peter shakes his head and returns to research. Ah. Okay. Vending machines. TV's But not computers, at least. Chomei, think about what would happen if Lazar hit a TV. Plasma screens weren't made to work with holes in them. ... I hit vending machine yesterday. Woman paid for candy, no come out. Machine slid ten feet. Woman was confused. Got candy, though. Oh, I was thinking about the old kind. * Rei sighs, leaning against the wall. Yeah, she's sitting on the floor. * Chie laughs as she walks over to Rei. "So all that junk's still in there, huh?" * Makoto looks straight down, now that Rei's leaning against the wall beside him. He ruffles her hair with his free (non-yo-yo-ing) hand. Yuh huh. Well, not the Mystery Club stuff, remember? I need to get that again, which shouldn't be a problem, but everything else is. Wish I could help, but you've seen how I am with technology. * Chie grins semi-apologetically. Everything else checks out. I don't... think... You'll get it cleaned up. You think it'd help if we found the guys who put it on there? * Rei blinks, then flicks BOX off and stuffs it in her backpack. * Rei takes off her jacket and stuffs that in, too, covering BOX. ... Bug? * Maria blinks. What's up, Rei? I don't know. I need to check it. I didn't check for bugs! Stupid Rei, stupid! Oh. Oh. Man. * Rei slides her backpack across the room with a kick of frustration. ... ants in compu- oh. Bugs, like microphone. Bugs? As in, tracers? Crap. * Peter doesn't look up. "If you break that after all the work we did getting it back, you're not getting a new one." (*snicker*) Sure, like you got me that one in the first place. We can check now, perhaps. * Rei pauses, then goes back to her backpack, opens it, and pulls out BOX with a sigh. "Sorry I've gotta do this to ya, kiddo." * Rei sits on the floor, once again, and pulls out a toolkit. She immediately goes to work disassembling BOX. * Chomei walks over to the table and takes a seat. It's safe to assume they know where we are already. Y'want any help, Rei? Demetri was here. * Chie sighs and walks over to Makoto. "Hey, Makoto, got a question for you." Say wrong things in meantime, then. Like... where you get third arm, Makoto? Whatcha doin' Prof? Nah, that's okay. I've got this covered like A1 Bold Sauce on a really bad steak. Medium well. * Maria giggles. Reading up. Hm. * Chomei raises his eyebrow. "On what?" ( A1 sauce gives a -2 bonues against vampires when applied to stakes! ) That building we were in. * Maria blinks. "Oh? Anything interesting?" * Makoto looks over at Chie. "Mm?" (It gets you here! It gets you right here!) (Yeah, A-1 Bold, that's what I'm in the mood for!) ( ::hands Chomei a bottle of A-1 Bold:: ) ( A-1 Bold even makes brisquits taste good! ) Yesterday's... trip made me realize something. It might be good if, in the future, we knew how to drive each other's vehicles. Y'know, just in case there was an emergency or somethin.' If you can drive Rei's bike, you can drive mine, though I'd prefer that you didn't drive it like Rei. But... you think you could teach me to drive your car sometime? (*Chomei chugs the bottle.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 5. ( Brisquits are good, if you cook 'em right. :9 ) Nothing much at all. * Lazar hrms. "Peter... you have luck finding Kabbalist in Japan?" * Rei pokes around at the insides of her computer while murmuring reassuring things to it. [The computer doesn't like Rei. She kicked it.] (No she didn't. She kicked the bag. And made sure the computer had padding. It's like a roller coaster!) [The phone rings!] No, Laz, I did not. ( Yeah, but you forgot to give it SDRAMamine. ) * Peter looks up. "Should I get that?" ( .. JESSELMANYOUAREDEADNOW. ) * Lazar frowns. "Okay. Keep looking though." We all know what happened last time I did. * Rei breathes a sigh of relief. "Okay, no bugs or tracers from what I can see." She starts putting BOX back together. "Somebody get that?" Maybe you'd better. * Peter answers it. ( Get the phone, Eo... waitaminute. ) (Eoi would be very, very disappointed in me. ;p) ( I'm disappointed in you, Chie!) ( Next time, Eoi-sensei. Next time.) ( I really miss playing Eoi. ) (Besides, I'm still waiting for Makoto to answer me. ;p) * Makoto spins his yo-yo in a convoluted pattern, letting the string hang up on his fingers like a net. The yo-yo itself he bounces along the strings; it looks like a fat man on a trampoline. Sure. But you're gonna have to be patient. It's a stickshift. And... if you burn out my clutch it'll be a while before you can practice any more. I'll be really, really careful. I promise. Thanks! * Chie grins at him. * Rei finishes putting it together, then hugs it to her chest. "Stick shift's not *that* hard." * Makoto grins back and keeps bouncing the yo-yo on its strings. ( o/~ She's gonna get a ticket sooner or later, 'cause she just can't take her foot off the accelerator! o/~ ) * Chomei leans back in his chair. Well, it's not for everybody. Well, I've never done it before, but I think it's worth a try. I try driving once. Tore steering wheel off. Peter no let me try again. It might just come in handy in an emergency. Oh. You sorta gotta be relaxed while driving, Lazar. Y'know, smooth like potato salad. Which is chunky, but that's besides the point. I thought potato salad was-- right. Naomi. Good to hear from you. How are you? Peanut butter, maybe? I was about to say... Creamy or chunky? * Lazar shrugs. "I try. Golem no built for delicate work." Creamy peanut butter, of course. As long as you specify creamy peanut butter. * Maria nods. "Right." Potatoes aren't smooth, but all that stuff around them isn't alw--Nao- ch... Naomi-san is calling? * Rei perks. "Naomi! Hi!" And not the kind with the jam mixed in, because that stuff's just nasty. Naomi? She's okay? Great! What? Naomi's on? I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure this isn't just a social call however. What's up? ...that didn't sound too good. * Rei ... stays quiet and listens. * Maria frowns. * Lazar grunts. Alas, none of you speak Golem Grunt. (*makes a note to get that*) (Darn. Need to buy another level of Linguistics. ;p) (Linguistics are your friend. :P ) * Makoto winds the yo-yo string around his fingers and lets the spinning wooden discs swing back and forth through the resulting tunnel. Now it looks like kind of like a child's swing. Mostly, though, Makoto is paying attention to Peter, and the half of the professor's conversation that he can hear. ( Hey, Peter just might. ) I pity you. I assume this call means you have a case? Zombies? Vampires? * Lazar growls. * Makoto gives Lazar a worried look. Damnation. Okay, we'll get right over. * Maria blinks. * Chie frowns and glances briefly at Lazar. * Rei blinks a couple times, but *still* refrains from speaking. Understood. Anything else? Goodbye. Get well soon. * Peter hangs up. What's up, Prof? We have a situation. * Maria frowns. * Makoto lets his yo-yo string unwind, until the wooden toy hangs, spinning, near his feet at the end of a slack line. With a quick flick of his wrist the doppelganger snaps his yo-yo up the string and into his palm. * Chomei leans forward, the front two feet of the chair he's sitting on hit the floor. "What's up?" What kind of situation? Yeah, I guess we do. A group of unknown undead have risen in the General Hospital morgue. Duh we have a situation! What's the situation? Are we gonna die? Dying would suck. It'll- oh shit! Oh, great. * Maria blinks. Ew. We are to go there. However, there is a complication. Yup, that's a situation all right. What's the complication, then? Complication? Yeah? Let me guess, there's mayo in your tailpipe. The police are waiting for us, and they CAN NOT be informed that we are involved with the investigation of supernaturals. * Rei blinks. What? Well shit. Uh. Prof? How the heck are we supposed to get in otherwise? I mean, I can get in, but I wouldn't be much for zombie smacking. So what do we tell them? Or do we avoid them entirely? * Maria shrugs. "So we feed 'em a line of BS. Big deal?" If we're going to talk to them, we need to pick -one- person to do all the talking. I could avoid them. There's bound to be back entrances. * Chomei looks at Makoto. It's not like we look like doctors or interns or- I mean, we're all- I nominate the professor. * Makoto nods, satisfied with the nomination. I will do that. The situation being that there is doubtless to be some police who attempt to follow us in. We must be cautious, and we can not display too many powers. * Lazar reaches into his pouch, and slides on his undead bracers. "Undead. Hate undead." So, wait? No exorcism? You guys realize that when we agree that the Professor does the talking, the rest of us shut up and look professional and do whatever he says, right? * Maria giggles. "Or we could swipe some scrubs and pretend to be doctors. That'd be fun." * Lazar hrms. "Rei, any way you can make fake papers, saying we from health agency or something?" * Rei scratches at her cheek. "Forgery? I could try, but I really can't promise anything. I mean, I never tried to do something quite like that before." I doubt it'll be necessary. Professor, you said they'd be waiting for us? Yes. They're expecting Interpol to show up. But they don't, and shouldn't, know what we do? * Lazar shrugs. "Then no worry. Try to tell them to let us go alone. If no work, then we just be careful." Oh, so they already know we're from Interpol! Good. And Interpol is... not us? Alright. So we show up, say "We're with Interpol, stand back", and chew 'em out if they don't stand back? They also don't know what they're dealing with. I expect a bit of a situation due to your.. ages. Peter does the chewing. Like Bazooka bubble gum. Which is that lovely Kirby shade of pink. Which invaded BOX. Poor BOX. I can fix my own age, anyway. You think that would help? I can do the inviso thing, and Makoto can look like he's older. But what about the rest of us? Rookies. * Maria shrugs. "I can get in easy enough, maybe take a few people with me." I'm sure Maria could just get it easy. Gotta rub the green off somehow. Yeah. We're trainees. * Chomei imitates being clueless. "So what are we doing?" * Maria giggles. "There you go." No, that make us seem less good. Then they want to come in with us. (Imitates? ^_~) See, Chomei doesn't even have to act! * Rei runs out the room. (Shhh.) * Maria laughs. * Chie grins. * Chomei chases after Rei. "Oh, you're getting it!" Not trainees. Kid prodi- prada-... really smart kids. Prodigies, Laz. * Rei slips back in and shuts the door behind her just in time for Chomei to get it. What she say. Prodigies? That *might* work. ( Kid parodies. Yup, sounds about right. ) * Chie watches Rei run back in and cracks up. If you're done playing around, we really do have to get going. Lives are at stake. * Maria giggles more. * Chie sobers quickly. "Right." Right, right. Let's go. Yeah, I know. Three two one knockout! We Interpol. Mysterious and shadowy, even with no powers. They believe. * Chomei gets a face full of door. "Remind me to kill you later Rei." And if these ARE Vampires, we only have until sundown before our danger doubles. I hope. * Chie opens the door and waves at Chomei. * Rei picks up her backpack and shoulders it. ( Umm.. ) * Lazar nods at Peter. "Sun good. Vampyres bad." * Chomei rubs the back of his head. "Thanks." New plan, Chomei. We're not clueless; we're super-geniuses. ( 8:00 p.m. It's past sundown :P ) * Makoto pantomimes tugging at a necktie as if to straighten it. As he does so, his whole body reshapes itself like so much putty. After a few moments he appears to be a lantern-jawed man with graying temples and a physique like a brick. Well, a brick with a few thick rubber bands around the middle. Oh... um, okay. Right. Better. * Rei pokes at Makoto's belly. "You ain't ridin' with me." Quiet super-geniuses, too. I never get tired of that trick. Rei will be in Spirit Form, I'm assuming. Oh, it'll be like I'm not even there. o/~ * Chomei eyes Rei. * Chie makes a lip-zipping motion. "Quiet as mice. Mice that don't even squeak." * Makoto has a voice like a chain-smoking bulldog who drank too much whiskey in its youth. * Rei nodnods at Peter and takes off down the hall. "Anyone riding the Rei express, hop on now!" Hey, don't poke the paunch, kiddo. Lazar is tall enough to pass for a grown man.. * Maria follows after Rei. Okay. That should do well enough. Let us go. * Chomei nods. Yep. * Makoto nods and heads out to the parking lot. * Lazar heads for the van. * Chie follows. * Chie reaches her bike, picks up the spare helmet and looks at Chomei expectantly. * Chomei heads to the parking lot, walking up to Chie's bike out of habbit. He takes the helmet. * Chie allows herself a grin as she puts her own helmet on. * Maria sighs. [Time: 9:00 p.m. They get to the hospital. Or near it, at least. It's surrounded by police cars with flashing lights. Several officers are watching the building while more stand behind crowd-control barriers warding citizens off.] * Maria frowns. "Stupid cops." * Makoto eases himself out of his car. So lonely in his car, now that Chomei clings to Chie in his clueless and somehow endearing-to-women way. * Chomei is wondering why he rode with Chie while Makoto's car is the much safer alternative... Oh, that's why. * Rei hops the median and drives up the curb to a parking spot. "Yeah, well. Nobody's perfect like me." * Maria giggles. "Right." * Chie parks next to the others and waits for Chomei to let go. * Lazar waits for Peter to park, then exits the van. * Chomei lets go, getting off the bike and taking off the helmet. * Rei flashes a V for Victory, then hops off her bike and pulls off the helmet. "Who's gonna play hold the Rei?" * Maria looks over at Chie and Cho and lets out another melancholy sigh. * Makoto waits until Rei's helmet is off, then he musses her hair with a big, blocky hand. "Don't get cocky, kiddo. Now get into my car and do your thing." * Chie vaults off the bike, flashing a brilliant smile at Chomei, before stashing her helmet and his. * Chomei smiles back. "You know, now that I've gotten used to it, riding one of those things is pretty fun." * Rei bats Makoto's hand away and sticks her tongue out at him. * Rei runrundives into Makoto's car and slams the door after her. * Chie grins. "See? I knew you'd like it once you tried it!" * Rei is now known as SpiritRei ( Unfortunately the door was locked. Rei taked 50 crash damage from hitting her head. :P ) * SpiritRei thwaps Chomei on the back of the head. ~You should try driving it sometime!~ ( Hah! ) (x.x) Ow! Okay, okay, I'll try it out. * Maria looks at the hospital. "Well, at least they're not all inside it." * Makoto locks the car doors behind Rei. * Chie grins even harder, if it's possible. "Any time you want to, just let me know." * Chomei chuckles a little. "Well, that's one thing Mom was wrong about." Any other things you think she might be wrong about? * Chomei smiles. "Maybe." * Chie smiles back at him, then turns to the others. "Okay. Down to business." * SpiritRei puts her chin on her hand and watches Chomei and Chie. ~When's the prof gonna get out? Let's get this show on the road.~ * Chomei opens the driver's side door to the van. * Maria frowns at Chie. * Chie doesn't seem to notice Maria. * Maria scowls at the police cars. Gee, wonder why? * SpiritRei perches in the air, waiting for Peter to get out of the van. * Chie smirks at the police cars, then turns to the others. * Chomei leans against the van. * Lazar gets out of the van, adjusts his undeath bracers, and waits for Peter. * Makoto folds his arms and makes himself look important. Really, he's waiting for Peter too. * Maria tries to be inconspicuous. * Peter hops out of the van and walks over to the police, doing his damnest to look like he knows what he's doing. It's surprisingly effective. * SpiritRei floats after Peter. ~Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go o/~ * Chie waits for a sign that she should follow. In the meantime, she tries to look bright and studious. She's an upstanding young citizen! Just pay no attention to the brightly dyed hair and the multiple piercings! * Maria trails along, trying not to get noticed by the pigs. I mean, by the nice police officers. ( Chie is screwed in the head and will be jailed 4 times before the campaign ends :P ) * Lazar stands straight up and folds his arms, looking all serious and stuff. Not that hard. * Chomei waits as well, leaning against the van and trying to look angsty like any good teenager. ^_^ * Makoto mutters gruffly, but quietly, to Peter. "Knock 'em dead, sir." ("This family stinks!") ("Nobody understands me!") (You're wearing all black, Chomei. Shouldn't be too hard. ;p) ("I hate everything!") * Peter waits for the police to notice 'em, as he keeps walking forward. (Chie's actually wearing dark blue tonight, but only because all her black clothes are in the wash. Or full of holes from acidic jello. ;p) [And so they walk towards the building, and are very quickly approached by a cop! "Excuse me, you'll have to go around. The hospital is off limits for the time being."] * Peter gives the cop a glare. "We're from Interpol. You were told to expect us I believe?" * SpiritRei blinks. ~Hoo. I don't want that look aimed at me. Since was the Prof so good at glaring? It's completely out of character! Well, not really, now that I think about it.~ * Chomei almost chuckles at that comment, but holds himself back. * Cop returns the glare. "Oh yes. The specialists. Because of some super-secret situation in the hospital. Uh huh. I'll go get the lieutenant. You stay right here. * Chie would answer Rei, except she's trying to stay quiet and look like a fine upstanding young citizen. Or a decently close approximization thereof. * Cop walks away. He returns shortly with two other mook cops, and a rather handsome man who's not wearing the standard police hat, so he must be important. * Maria frowns, and redoubles her efforts to not be noticed. c.c; * Peter focuses on the Lieutenant. * Maria kinda' stays behind Peter or Makoto. Someone larger than herself. So you're from Interpol, eh? * SpiritRei makes faces at that first cop. ( Erm, Maria, wouldn't that make Lazar your best bet? =P ) ( Yes, it would. ) * Maria hides behind the wall that is Lazar, then. Yoush! Indeed. From the Special Investigations Unit. I understand you have a situation here. * Lieutenant pulls up a clipboard, and glances at it, then glances at the group, then back to the board. He frowns and returns his gaze to Peter. "You fit the descriptions I was given, but you seem to be missing three people. Furthermore," he points at Makoto, "that one isn't on the list." ~Given descriptions? Uh. Do I need to come out of the car now?~ (Well shoot.) * Chie nudges Chomei. "I think they want us." The others are somewhere else, and he *points* is in disguse. * Lazar looks over his shoulder at Maria. * Makoto nods, having almost opened his mouth too soon and said something that probably wouldn't have helped things. * Chomei looks over to Chie. "What?" * Maria tries to remain hidden. Well, if you're not on the list, I'm not authorized to let you through. * Makoto grunts and glances at Peter. * Lazar sighs, turns, picks up Maria by the collar, and deposits her by his side. You want me to go get out of my disguise, sir? The cop said something about missing people. Maybe we should go out there, too, instead of waiting for the Prof to call us. Oh, okay. * Maria squirms! "Hey! Cut that out!" * Maria blinks and shuts up. c.c * Chomei approaches the adult looking people. * Chie follows along, trying to look serious. * Maria follows. Behind Lazar. * SpiritRei notices Chie's look and tries to crack her reserve by crossing her eyes and waggling her eyebrows while waving her fingers in front of her nose. * Lazar sighs again, and walks up to the rest of the group. * Chie tries to keep from laughing and shakes her head quickly. * Lieutenant scowls at Maria, then looks at the list. "Well, that accounts for one more. But you're still missing a girl with 'God-awful hair and hideous fashion sense', and a 'scrawny, fidgety boy'." * SpiritRei stops, grinning, then blinks. ~Hey! I won't have you messin' with my hair! Or my fashion sense. Ask him if you need everybody, Prof.~ * Maria tries hard not to scowl back at the Lieutenant, and mostly succeeds. * Chie frowns briefly, then reassumes the neutral look. * Makoto deigns not to say anything to the cop, and waits for Peter to say whether or not he should go change back. * Peter looks over at Makoto. "Go change back. We'll wait." * Peter returns to glaring at the cop. "The girl will not be joining us. She is elsewhere." * SpiritRei continues, ~And Makoto is not scrawny! Who came up with these descriptions, anyway? Talk about lame. They need their glasses checked.~ ( Makoto's as scrawny as he wants to be. ^_~ ) * Chomei stays being angsty and serious. Doesn't take much effort. ^_^ (He's cute!) You mean to tell me you're going in there short of members? * Makoto nods and stalks back to his car. He opens the left passenger door, slips into the seat beside Rei's sleeping body, and shifts back to himself. He decides to wait a little while, since no ordinary human could change "costumes" that quickly. I don't know how Interpol works, but if you were in this force you'd face God Knows How Many write-ups and at least a week's suspension. * Chie bites her tongue. She so, so wants to say something. ( James Bond could :P ) However, we are not in the force. Perhaps your police could not handle this, but we are far better trained. (Wow. Go, Prof! ^_^) (Man, Peter sounds SO full of himself. Oh yeah!) ~Yeah! You tell 'im, Prof!~ Well, seeing as how they never even told us half of what they knew about the situation, it's a bit hard to judge, isn't it? ( Call him a wanker! ) * Makoto leaves the car, locking it behind him, and slouches back to the group with his hands in two of his many pockets. * SpiritRei zips over and perches on Makoto's head. And as for our training, unlike you we don't have any kids on the force. * SpiritRei tugs on Makoto's hair. ~Don't slouch. Bad posture. You'll get stuck that way.~ * Lieutenant looks past Peter to Makoto. "But I see one more of your team has arrived. That's some impressive disguising, kid." * Peter continues the TeacherGlare at the Lieutenant. "And unlike you, we don't care about age as long as they can get the job done. Now, will you let us through?" (Go Prof!) * Makoto changes his posture immediately and dramatically in the span of two steps. Now his shoulders are straight and his chin his high; he looks like natural born royalty for a moment. You're still missing a member. * SpiritRei grins madly. * Makoto nods to the officer. Thank you, sir. Unless I get permission from your surperiors, I won't allow authorization. I already informed you, she will not be joining us. Excuse me? * ChAnime is now known as Chamelaeon * Lieutenant clears his throat. Unless I get permission from your surperiors, I won't allow authorization. * Chie bites her lip. Hard. ~Pfft. I'll go, I'll go. We need to get in there *now*. Just make sure I don't get hurt. Please? Call me up, Prof.~ * SpiritRei vanishes. * Rei wakes up, then slips out of the other side of the car and runs off. * Peter frowns. * Peter dials up Rei. * Rei picks up. "Yo, Prof." You understand the situation. Please come over as soon as possible. I'm coming, I'm coming! This running thing is hard work. * Rei runs up, phone in hand, gasping for breath. She slows to a stop near Makoto and grins at the Lieutenant. * Lieutenant blinks, then looks at Peter. "How'd she get here so fast?" * Makoto glances at Rei, a grin tugging at his lips, but says nothing for the time being. * Rei wipes at her forehead, then smooths her hair. Which doesn't work at all. ( Good for her. If she doesn't have God-Awful hair, she's not gettin' in :P ) She was monitoring the situation from nearby. She is out "eye on the outside" as it were. Now that you have confirmed she is here, may she return to her dutys, or will you continue this stupid farce? ( Hah! ) * Lieutenant shrugs. "Very well." There is one other matter, however. Yes? (Peter's getting pissed.) * Lieutenant gestures to the men behind him. "Officers Asari, Date, Fujimoto and myself will be accompanying you." The three mook-officers all give him a look of surprise, but they don't say anything. Because if they had speaking parts, we'd have to pay them more. ( Hehe. ) (Oh, they are SO dead.) * Peter looks at the Lieutentant. "Excuse me?" ( Bring in the extras! ) ( Red-shirts! ) (And the streachers while you're at it.) * Rei bites her tongue. Hard. "Ow!" She covers her mouth. I understand that we were supposed to remain outside. However, the hospital has a number of rare bacteria and medicines. If you wish us to retrieve them, give us a list. You will not be following us inside. * Lieutenant points at Maria. "We can't allow a known thief unmonitored accesses to these materials." * Maria [GLARES] at the Lieutenant. * Chie blinks and then gives Maria a flat look. * Peter [GLARES] at the Lieutenant. * Lieutenant sneers in response. * Chomei looks angsty, like teenager. * Lazar steps foward. "I am on assignment from Eastern European branch. My job is to keep eye on this one. I good at my job." She will not be touching any of these things, or I would arrest her myself, and she is QUITE aware of this. However, if it's that big of a concern, we will remain behind if she does as well. Impossible. We require her for this. * Rei seethes, but doesn't say a word. Not a word. Quiet Rei. (Quiet Rei and quiet Chie. This is scary. ;p) * Maria glares at Lazar, now, pretending to chafe at his imaginary leash, as it were. Do you mean like how Interpol arrested her for the other crimes she's committed? Oh wait, they seem to have conveniently forgotten those. I can guarantee she no steal anything. She good. I best. * Makoto looks around, at everybody really, and resists the urge to facepalm. He resists it so well, in fact, that he might as well have done it for all the 'not facepalming' that radiates from him. * Lieutenant faces Lazar. "No offense to you, but this is Japan. We do things our way here. I'm sure you would do the same if our positions were reversed." * Chie taps her foot. While they're arguing procedure, who knows what's going on inside. She will not steal anything. Every minute you continue this game is another minute wasted. Now allow us to pass. Then you want us to accompany you? No offense, but I no care about your way. We do things Interpol way. You will not be doing so. I can't afford to worry about you and your men while we are in there. * Lieutenant scowls at Lazar. "You can try to hide behind your organization if you like, but we're JPD. Unlike you, we serve justice, and don't forgive criminals for their crimes because we might have uses for them." * Maria scoffs. (Wow, is that anything like the LAPD or the NYPD?) Lieutenant, the truth is, you can not stop us. Now get out of the way. That because we do jobs you no can or no dare to do. You serve justice, we enforce it. * Lieutenant shrugs. "I was never going to stop you. Go ahead. We'll be right behind you." * Chomei is obviously getting annoyed, but that's how he looked in the begining. So not much has changed. No, you will not be. Then she's going to stay here? We are going in alone. Should you follow us, we will tie you up and throw you out the door. (Psh. We should've pulled a Saki and gone in a stealth helicopter.) Maria will be coming with US, and not with you. ( You don't have the budget. ) (Durn cuts. ;_;) (We have a budget?) ( How about a go-cart painted black? =P ) (We get paid?) (Yeah, but Makoto spent it all on cucumbers.) * Maria grumbles. "I'll stay in the van if it'll keep these pigs from throwing their lives away. But only because I'm such a selfless person." ( Hehe. Maybe we could pull a Lethal Weapon and drive Makoto's car through the front door. ) * Lieutenant peers at Peter. "Assaulting an officer? You don't want to do that, friend." You are obstructing justice, so it appears you don't have any problems with breaking laws either. And you no want to obstruct Interpol investigation... friend. Or are you Interpol people ALL criminals? I'm hardly obstructing justice. On the contrary, I'm trying to see justice served. You ignorant fool, you are wasting our time. Get out of the way, now. * Lieutenant steps aside and gestures. "Be my guest." You will not be following us, is this understood? * Makoto steps up beside Peter and whispers. "They're just going to follow Maria around, wherever she goes." ( Hey, Brett. What kind of doors are the doors leading into the place? ) As long as Ms. Kurasaka does not set foor into the hospital, you have my word. [The big glass window kind.] * Maria blinks. (Ah ha! So Maria does have a last name!) * Peter idly wonders if he could get Lazar to knock this annoying bastard out. * Makoto whispers to the Professor a little more. (We have a last name!) (Ding!) * Maria glances around for a Ms. Kurasaka. (All the Japanese characters have last names that end in "a" now, it seems.) (It's stylish, you know?) ( The mook officers don't ) You fool, I'm not going to let you risk the lives of your men because you wish to play a stupid game of "Fight the Man." (It's hip to the new thang.) (PC's, I meant.) (Damn the Man! Save the Empire!) My men are well equipped to handle the situation. If have problem, take up with our superiors. After we handle problem. * Chomei does chuckle at that. * Maria smirks. "Are not." They are not well equipped enough. * Chie grits her teeth. * Rei keeps quiet. It takes effort. Your men have no idea what's in there, do they? They can't possibly be 'prepared', and it's stupid to think otherwise. * Lazar nods. "She have point." You have a point. I guess I'll just have to accompany you alone. * Makoto tugs on Peter's sleeve and offers one more whispered suggestion. "Peter, if they really want to come with us, let 'em stand in front. The... disturbances inside will take care of them." * Peter stares at Makoto with horror. ".. Be quiet." * Peter says something to Lazar. * Lazar looks down at the Lieutenant and chuckles. * Lazar answers back in Hebrew. * Makoto steps back again, resigned, until he's beside Rei. * Rei blinks at Makoto, some of the anger leaving. She opens her mouth, then stops herself before she asks anything. * Peter replys. So tell me why they need to send foreigners to handle Japan's problems, anyhow. * Lazar looks at Peter skeptically. "Okay, you convince me. We let little man come with." *turns to man* Hope JPD have good health plan. Oh, you don't wanna hear the answer to that. It'd hurt your poor widdle ego. Alright. The.. "gentleman" will be coming with us. * Peter says something to Lazar Well, glad you see things my way. * Lazar wraps an arm around the Lieutentant's shoulders. "Stick close to me. I keep you safe." *big grin* That won't be necessary. I didn't become a lieutenant by sitting on my ass eating doughnuts all day. * Maria grins. * Chomei smirks at that. * Rei pouts and says, so quietly only Makoto can likely hear, "But I like doughnuts. Glazed ones, with raisins." ( Yes, well, you're a freak :P ) (And proud of it!) * Makoto pulls one of his smaller yo-yos from a pocket and spins it nervously. "Yeah," he mutters in response to Rei, "but you wouldn't eat them -all day- would you?" * Lazar patpats the Lieutenant. "Is good you believe that. Confidence is important." * Rei watches the yo-yo. "Would it come with a good metabolism plan?" she murmurs. "Y'know, eat fifteen, burn a few thousand calories free?" Yes, well, after you. * Peter heads in front. * Lazar grins, and starts walking, arm still around the Lieutenant, dragging him along. "No be so mean! You with Interpol now... we take point together!" * Chie stalks in after Lazar. Stalk, stalk, stalk. * Maria follows after Lazar, grinning at the Lieutenant's back. * Makoto considers Rei's question and sends the yo-yo in a complicated spiral as it rolls down and then back up its string. "That might work, but I'm not so sure the metabolism faeries are that generous." * Chomei walks along behind Peter, being angsty. Brood brood brood. * Lieutenant struggles. "Not so fast! I don't mind taking point..." * Lieutenant points at Maria. "But I want her in front so that she doesn't stab me in the back." Stab you with what? Her finger? Of course fast. We Interpol. We move fast... and she no have knife. No need be afraid. (Ha! Maria's not the one with the stabby weapon! That would be... me, actually.) * DeMenchi is now known as Demotafk Pfft. It's easy. Just stick some nutrigrain bars under your pillow, y'know? They check there every midnight. Needles? Scalpel? It's a hospital. * Peter sighs. "Fine, Maria. Take point." (I have a stabby weapon... kinda.) * Lazar continues dragging the guy along. * Rei starts walking after everyone else. No brooding, no stalking, just walking. ( Only if you're Legolas. ) * Maria rolls her eyes. "Not *too* paranoid?" (I think Legolas did do some melee arrow fighting... yeah.) ( Don't let me GET a stabby weapon, or else we'll suddenly be short on officers of the law... ) (Legolas prances.) * Maria whispers to Chie. "Avenge me, my sister!" She then walks up to take point. "Which way, chief?" (Still the prettiest.) I can walk, you know. * Chie laughs. ( Lazar could probably file down a few of his fingers... ) Yes, but no walk like Interpol agent. *dragdrag* * Rei tugs Makoto along. :P * Makoto walks alongside Rei, spinning his yo-yo in little patterns of frustration--with his free hand, anyway. ;P [None of the other cops try to stop you.] * Chomei is trudging along behind Peter. Brood brood brood :P (^_^_v) My, it's a lovely night for a walk in a hospital, isn't it? The smell of sanitizer is absolutely refreshing. I wonder if I can get their sekrit recipe for my kitchen. ( "Brood brood brood"? That's no good. Let's change it to "Kirby Kirby Kirby". ) I didn't know that about metabolism faeries. You must have done extensive research to discover the arcane lore of metabolism-faerie summoning, Rei. * Peter looks at Rei. "You had permission to return to monitoring. Might be best if you did that."' * Rei nods. "Absolutely! Day and night I worked, trying to find the perfect way to summon-" She blinks. "I do? Great, that means I can do my job." * Chie follows behind Lazar, trying to think of good vengeance tactics. * Makoto snickers. * Rei lets go of Makoto's hand and ruffles *his* hair this time, then dashes out of the building. * Peter continues to follow Pointtaking Maria. * Chie grins briefly at Makoto and Rei. So cute! ^_^ * Makoto actually blushes a little, and watches Rei dash away. * Maria continues to wander along aimlessly. o/` [You get to the doors. Inside is a lobby. The main lights are out, but the emergency lights are on. There's a desk and paths left, right and straight, but left leads towards the morgue.] * Maria glances around. "Which way, chief?" We want to head left. * VampireKirby has joined #besm (Angst angst angst. :P) (So that's what's attacking! A vampiric Kirby! The horror!) ( Food food food! ) * Makoto pockets the trick yo-yo and produces a much sturdier one, which of course he proceeds to spin. This one only gets basic up-and-down spins, though. * Maria goes inside and heads left. o/` * SpiritRei zooms in and pokes Makoto in the back of the neck as she continues their conversation, ~Anyway! The secret to summoning metabolism faeries is the realization that space and time are cuuuuuuurved. Not curved, cuuuuuuurved. It's how I keep my girlish figure!~ ( What girlish figure? ) ( Brett's head explodes. ) ( Don't insult my daughter. I don't care if you are god. I bribed a higher force. Daisuke. ) * Makoto taps his chin thoughtfully, though the yo-yo never stops spinning. "Cuuuuuuurved, you say? Like a cucumber?" [The path goes straight, but eventually there's a turn to the right. A sign says "Morg here ->" in Engrish, so you probably want to go that way.] * Peter looks back at the group and nods. ~No. More like a doughnut, really. A glazed one. With raisins.~ * SpiritRei grins madly. * Lazar says something to Peter in Hebrew. This way, chief? Of course! It's circular logic! Circular--I mean, cuuuuuurved--like a doughnut. Hmm. I wonder ...when... they'll show. Yes. * Makoto is, as usual, bringing up the rear of the "marching order." * Lazar fingers his pendant with his free hand, revealing his golem form. ... oops. ~Yup! Now, see, unlike a doughnut, it doesn't wrap in on itself. But it's made out of the same stuff. Perhaps a glazed doughnut twist?~ * Maria goes that way! To the morgue! * Chomei follows along, noticing Lazar's transformation. He doesn't say anything though. * Lieutenant stares. "What the hell?!" * Chie blinks as she realizes she's following Lazar the golem now, but she keeps quiet. Bad skin. Sorry. [As if to answer, there's some moaning coming down the hall from the direction of the morgue.] * Makoto continues along as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened. * Lazar whacks the Lieutenant upside the head. Hard. * SpiritRei cracks up, her laughter echoing in many heads. How about a c-- * Maria turns around, grinning. Well. * Chomei smiles. "Oh, why did you get to do that?" * Chie smirks. "Aww, poor Lieutenant Whatshisface. The evil undead menace got him." 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-6) and gets 3. [Lazar smacks him upside the head, but he twists and takes it as a glancing blow. Not that a glancing blow from a golem doesn't feel like a ton of bricks anyhow, but it does mean that he's not unconscious.] ( And now we roll init @_@ ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (d6+6) and gets 10. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (d6+6) and gets 9. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Makoto (d6+7) and gets 10. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (d6+7) and gets 11. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d6+7) and gets 10. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (d6+7) and gets 8. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (d6+7) and gets 8. Oh no. What is this strange creature? We must save the poor annoying bastard from it. Aah! Am posessed! No can control self! Help! ( Oh, I missed. Oh dear, I missed again. ) [Maria, Rei, Makoto, Lazar, Cop, Peter, Chie, Chomei.] [Maria's turn] ( Hehe. ) * Maria looks disappointed, but doesn't do anything yet. She has her reasons. [Rei's turn] * SpiritRei stays back. She's not laughing anymore. [Makoto's turn!] * Makoto keeps spinning his yo-yo, and watches for now. He'd rather not get involved unless he -has- to. ( Hold action. ) [Lazar's turn!] ... brains... need brains... * Lazar tosses a hook at the cop. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-6) and gets -1. ( Well. ) (Lazar is dining well tonight!) * Lieutenant slips loose from Lazar's grip just before he strikes! [Lieutenant's turn.] * Lieutenant draws his gun and fires at Lazar. Yes, that quick. He doesn't even read him his rights. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 7. [Lazar gets shot! But the bullet doesn't doo much but add a small scrape to his arm.] ( The doppelganger would like to act next, please. ) [Hiro's turn!] ( Oh wait... The other doppelganger. ) (Who?) (Wha?) [Makoto's turn!] ( ... ) (*facepalm*) * Makoto lashes out with his yo-yo, making an overhand attack at the officer's gun. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Makoto (2d6+1) and gets 5. ( Made it! ) [Makoto knocks the gun away.] (Nice. ;)) [Peter's turn] * Peter sighs, as Makoto doesn't get the concept at all. "Oh no, we'll stop that nasty creature.". He quickdraws his crossbow and fires at Lazar, missing intentionally. Don't shoot him! We might be able to cure him! [Maria, go.] ( Sure he does; you're never supposed to kill the good-guy-turned-into a monster until there's only one hero left. Peter just doesn't watch enough movies. ) * Maria walks up behind the Lieutenant, pivots on one foot, and kicks him in the back of the head. She's always wanted to do that. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-5) and gets 0. * Lieutenant goes down with a *thud* * Maria smiles. * SpiritRei blinks as he falls. ~Well. That was messy. Want me to run in and drag him out?~ * Lazar fiddles with his pendant, regaining his human form. "Oh no. Poor man get jumped by bad guys and knocked out. How embarassing." Sure, I guess. Man, always wanted to do that to this guy. * Chie grins at Maria. "Guess you don't need me to avenge you any more." * Chomei nods. "He have a grudge on ya?" * Maria grins back at Chie. "Nope. But it's the thought that counts, right?" If you could Rei. Tell them that he was hit over the head by one of our assalants. ~Gotcha!~ * SpiritRei vanishes once again. * SpiritRei is now known as Rei Absolutely. * Maria nodnods at chomei. "Big one. He's been on my tail since... ever, I guess." Dunno how he knew about the Interpol thing, tho. No matter. * Makoto snaps his yo-yo back and takes a few steps back, toward the tail end of the group as before. Guys like that always find out in the movies. It doesn't matter anyhow, we have work to do. [Meanwhile, down the hallway, a form stumbles around the corner and steadies himself with the wall.] * Chomei summons his bow. * Rei comes running in. "HiguysheardyouhadaproblemI'llbetakinghimnow!" And anticlimactically starts dragging him out. Very, very slowly. ( Make mind rolls ^^ ) ( And roll init ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 11. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 4. (Ha! No.) ( Any mods? ) (... I hate you, Dicey. HATE YOU.) (I made it! :) ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (d6+6) and gets 9. Remember, Rei. He very dumb. Embarassing way of getting knocked out. [And another one follows him out. So we're clear on that.] d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (d6+8) and gets 11. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6) and gets 6. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (d6+7) and gets 10. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (d6+6) and gets 10. (And there's my init.) d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d6+7) and gets 8. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Makoto (2d6) and gets 9. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (d6+7) and gets 8. 2d6+7 [Chomei, Chie, Peter, Undead1, Rei, Makoto, Undead2, Lazar, Maria] * Chomei looks a little shaken after seeing the forms. "Um... guys?" [Chomei's turn!] What? * Lazar turns. "... damn." * Chomei shakes his head, apparently getting some cobwebs out of it. "Later." He fires his bow at the nearest one he can see. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 3. What's later? What? I hate being left in the dim. Why not the dark? Because he started but stopped! * Maria blinks. "Wha?" * Peter frowns.. Chomei, what is it? This is bad. This is very bad. You know too, don't you? [Chomei shoots one of the creatures. It doesn't even try to dodge. But when he hits it it starts shambling towards you like a zombie. Except a bit too damn fast for a zombie.] Er, what is it, and how bad? [Chie's turn] Looks like zombie, but different... * Chie draws her sword but doesn't move yet. "Prof, Chomei, what *is* it?" (holding action) [Peter's turn] I'll tell you afterwards! * Peter switches to Blessed Bolts. Talk when the zombies hit the dirt! ... Again. [Undead1's turn!] (Okay, I'll take my action after the undead.) * Undead moves like someone hit the fast forwards buttone on a VCR. One second it's shambling towards Chomei, the next instant, it's right on top of him. It opens its mouth and tries to sink its two fangs into his throat. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 8. (I'm getting bitten, aren't I?) * Undead sinks its teeth into Chomei. ( Oh, no! We're trapped in the Resident Evil movie! ) * Rei screams. * Chie screams. "CHOMEI!" * Maria screams! * Makoto doesn't scream. He's a boy. (An' that's a lotta screamin', let me tell ya.) Chomei! * Lazar doesn't react other than to tense up slightly. Damn, damn, DAMN. [Rei's turn!] ( Nasty critters, they are :P ) * Chomei goes a little limp as the vampire bites him. (Or is it a ghoul... Zombie?) (I can't tell anymore. It's undead.) * Rei stares, shaken, but remembers what she was doing and keeps slowly dragging the lieutenant. ( Vampire spawn, maybe? Nah. ) [Chie's turn] * Chie blinks hard and swallows. "No, *no*, NO!" She rushes over to the undead biting Chomei and swings at it. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 5. [Chie cuts into the monster. It takes the hit without even trying to dodge, but it keeps its hold on Chomei.] [Makoto's turn] * Makoto pries his eyes away from Chomei and the undead that's attacking him, and takes a few quick steps toward the other one. He lunges, swinging low at the things legs and trying to trip it up. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Makoto (2d6-2) and gets 1. [Makoto does tie up the thing's leg's and it falls to the ground, but immediately starts crawling for him.] [Undead2's turn] * Undead2 moves again, like someone hit fast forwards on the VCR. One second it's tangled on the ground, slowly crawling towards Makoto. Suddenly it's free and standing right next to Makoto. It tries to sink its teeth into him.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Makoto (2d6) and gets 9. * Chie screams again. "No!" * Undead2 sinks its teeth into Makoto's neck. * Rei stares. She drops the lieutenant this time. ( Well, suck. ) (Yes, it does. :P) ( Wow, you guys hafta learn to dodge or somethin'. =P ) Damnation! [Lazar's turn!] (I'll keep that in mind.) ( Dodging is for the weak! And drained-of-blood! ) ( Usually they just hide behind Lazar :P ) * Lazar leaps foward, bringing his fist down like a club on the thingee biting Chomei. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 9. ( Ah fuck. ) ( This is true. Hey, at least we've freed up the major combatants to save us! ) ( Dice doesn't like us today. ) (It's session fifteen. We're doomed.) ( Dice never likes me. ;_; ) [Lazar brings his fist down like a club! ... Into the ground right next to the thing.] ( What's so bad about it being fifteen? ) [Maria's turn!] ( Shoulda had the goons come with you :P ) (That's when lotsa bad stuff happened in MC1) * Maria jumps onto the thing attacking Chomei and tries to pry it's teeth out of him. ( See, Chomei may not be as cute as Makoto, but people like him better.) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6+2) and gets 8. ( Barely. ) (Yup, they barely like me more.) [Maria pushes and manages to shove the thing off Chomei, without causing him too much more harm than was already done.] [Chomei's turn] (Nobody likes the Makotos ^_^;) ( Bah. I'm freeing Makoto next turn. ;P ) (Hey, Chie *likes* Makoto. She just happens to have a crush on Chomei. ^_~) * Chomei regains control, and fires a fire arrow at the thing that was biting him. "Eat this." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 4. [Chomie shoots the thing dead on, and sets it alight. The good news is it's burning quickly. The bad news is it doesn't seem to care at all.] [Chie's turn!] * Chomei curses. * Chie looks very, very relieved that Chomei's no longer being bitten. She then turns quickly and slashes at the one attacking Makoto! 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 0. [Chie cuts into the thing, but this doesn't break it's grip.] [Peter's turn!] * Peter fires a Blessed Arrow at one of the creatures. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-3) and gets 2. (I have an idea. Chomei should shoot claymores.) (*snickers*) (Hmmm... I haven't used that point yet...) ( x_x ) ( Claymores.. FROM HIS EYES! ) [Peter shoots it dead in its chest, and the blessed bolt bursts and and burns a hole that grows wider and wider until the thing falls into two halves. It stops moving when it's on the ground, and just burns.] Well. That worked rather well. [Rei's turn] ( I would like to be saved now. ) Go Prof. (Hey, I tried.) ( Before I DIE! ) ( Nobody cares about Makoto. ) ( Makoto cares about Makoto! ) (I tried to save Makoto. ;_;) (Who?) * Rei runs over, swinging her backpack at the zombie-vampire-thing on Makoto. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 7. (It's not my fault the undead don't seem to care about getting sword- slashed.) (Or shot in the chest with an arrow...) [Rei does not hit.] * Lazar curses. "Stay back, Rei!" [Makoto can't do nothin'. Meanwhile the thing drains more blood.] [Lazar's turn] ( ;_; .oO(I'm dying!) ) (How do you think my char felt?) * Lazar growls, and tries to whack the thing eating Makoto. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 0, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "A WINNER IS YOU!" [Lazar crushes its skull.] * Chie takes a few short, gasping breaths. "Oh god... Chomei... Makoto..." * Lazar grabs Makoto. "You okay?" Prof? They're gonna be okay, aren't they? Aren't they? * Peter runs over to Chomei and examines him quickly. As long as no get all blood drained, should be okay. You guys alright? Prof? What the HELL were those? * Makoto looks pale and, well... drained. * Rei drops the backpack, too, and runs over to Makoto. * Chomei kneels down as the last one hits the floor. He looks a bit pale. V.. vampires, but they appeared half-turned.. The mindless power of zombies with the deadly abilites of a vampire.. terrifying. * Maria paces between Chomei and Makoto. * Rei checks the bite marks. * Makoto falls rather gracelessly against a convenient wall. * Chie runs over to Chomei and kneels next to him. "But they *are* gonna be okay, right, prof?" 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Peter (2d6-4) and gets 3. Right. But, Cho and Mak aren't gonna turn into those things, right? That. * Makoto swallows. Wasn't fun. * Chomei looks around shakingly. "I hope not." He chuckles. * Lazar frowns. "Rei, you get Makoto outside. He need blood. Chie, help Chomei out, take Lieutenant. Say he get jumped, very embarassing, no is wanting to admit when he wakes up." Got it. No turn to vampire unless blood drained. * Rei looks over at Lazar and nods. She tries helping Makoto up. * Chie swallows one more time, managing to mostly regain control. Peter, Maria, come with me to check rest of morgue. And STAY BEHIND ME. * Maria nods. "Right." Mmf. It's not infected. It's painful, but you won't be turning anytime soon. Oh, thank the spirits. Rei, Makoto, Chomei, get the police officer and get out of here. Then just like really bad cut. If I ever see one of those things again... It'll be too soon. * Rei starts helping Makoto out, picking up her backpack as she goes. "Is your van unlocked, Prof?" * Chie helps Chomei up. Yes, but it's still risky. Until they get bandaged, it's a unsafe risk. * Peter tosses Rei the keys. "Now it is." No argument here, professor. * Rei catches them. * Chomei lets Chie help him up. "Thanks." ( Wait until you fight real vampires ^^ ) * Lazar nods. "Then follow me." *heads for the main part of the morgue* * Maria bites her lip, looking like she wants to follow the others. She follows Laz instead, tho. * Rei leads Makoto out of there. * Chie smiles at him. "You're welcome. Let's grab Lieutanant Whathisname and go." * Makoto is led. * Chomei nods. If you're okay enough to do it, I mean. You are feeling okay, right? ( I miss my blood! ) [The morgue has three dead bodies and two... Uh, whaddya call them... bare slots. The drawers of the slots are in the middle of the room, the front ends looking like they were bashed from the inside.] * Lazar mutters to Maria as they walk. "Know you want go with them, but we may need you skills. Sorry." * Chomei looks around a little dizzily, then shakes his head. "I should be fine. Let's get out." Okay. [Actually, the morgue has lots of dead bodies. But three are doctors :P] * Chie grabs one of the Lieutenant's arms and starts dragging. 'Salright. Uegh. * Chomei grabs the other one, and starts dragging as well. * Maria looks the doctors over. Be careful. Any one of these could be.. infected. [Maria sees they're, uh, dead.] Prof? These guys gonna vampify? (Yeah, should we talk in here or another channel?) * Lazar starts walking along all the non-doctor dead bodies, checking them as thoroughly as he can for... well, movement. * Peter checks. They.. couldn't infect. So no, I think it's over. * Lazar frowns. "Should have reacted faster, taken lead... no have blood for them to drain." It's fine Lazar.. I made a mistake as well, but everyone is okay. * Rei isn't saying anything. She's just helping Makoto out of the hospital, not looking at much of anything. * Chie continues dragging the lieutenant out, casting constant worried glances at Chomei. ( Lazar reacting faster than those things? Would've been impressive c.c) Let's follow the others out. No is okay. I make too many mistakes... you need find Kabbalist fast. Need full golem powers. * Makoto just sort of shuffles wearily along with Rei. * Lazar nods. "Too late for doctors, too." * Chomei drags, sweating along the way. "There was something else odd about them though..." What? Remember those guards Lazar threw that door at? [The police seem quite surprised when you drag their unconscious Lieutenant out.] Yeah... * Lazar walks out along with Peter (and Maria). "What were those? Never heard of zombie/vampire mix..." * Chie blinks. "That was *them?*" I swear it was them... Neither have I, to be honest, except for in books.. err, fiction books. Oh ye gods... * Makoto frowns a little. I didn't recognize them. * Lazar frowns. "Is safe to assume then that someone is doing experimenting with undead. No is good." * Rei speaks up quietly, "They would've been hard to recognize." [You all leave about the same time, and the police bug you. "Hey, what happened to the Lieutenant?"] * Chie sets the Lieutenant down and addressess the officers. "He got jumped by the monsters. Kinda embarassing, and he probably won't want to talk about it when he wakes up. And do you have any first-aid kits?" Monsters? They got blown up, remember? I- I... * Rei freezes when she sees the police. [They look amongst themselves.] * Chie bites her lip. "The... things causing the disturbance. They were so strong, they were like monsters." * Chie silently curses herself for slipping. And they were people that... * Chomei trails off. They gossip "What things?" "Weren't they terrorists?" "I thought it was just a few robbers." "Wonder if the military was up to something..." * Lazar steps out. "Stupid people what think they vampires. Even bite like them. Kill doctors, jump Lieutenant, even hurt two of us." Indeed. The situation is handled.. These people must have been on some very strong drugs. * Chomei rubs his neck. "You're telling me." They murmur "Ooooooh." collectively in understanding. "Strange people." "Stupid kids with their stupid drugs." * Makoto keeps his mouth shut. Not really difficult, considering he had a bloodsucker removed from his neck by virtue of a hefty pounding. Yeah... * Rei tugs Makoto to the van. ... Lieutenant get whacked from behind, fall and whack head. Very embarassing... no tease him about it. Too much. * Chomei snickers. * Makoto is tugged, unresisting. "That's not very like the lieutenant..." * Chomei starts to sway a little, then rights himself. "Right. I think I'd better get in the car. Makoto?" Everybody has bad days. Mm? You're getting patched up first. * Chie offers her arm to Chomei so he can stabilize himself. "But Lieutenant Hasegawa's one of the best on the force!" That why it embarassing. He get sloppy... was arguing with us. * Maria shrugs. * Rei gets to the van and opens it up, crawling in for the first aid kit. Oh yeah, you got bitten too. He got it worse than you did. ( Rei's first aid kit aids itself first! ) * Chomei winces. "It looks like it. I couldn't tell though." (It wasn't a race!) ( Yes it was! And you lose! ) ( Hee! ) Was insisting he go in first, turned around... he should be okay, though. Just bad headache, and embarassment. * Rei forces Makoto to sit and starts bandaging him. * Makoto sits, then, and is bandaged. * Chie looks solemn. "No. You were a bit... preoccupied. And I..." She shakes her head and leads Chomei over to the van and Rei, and the first aid kit. [They talk amongst themselves.] As you can see, we have some injured. We're going to be taking them for some rest. Please give the man our regards when he comes to. * Chomei takes Chie's arm to keep himself from falling over. * Peter heads for the van. * Lazar nods at the men, and walks back to the van. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 7. Hey... who's gonna drive my car? Rei, can you handle a stick? * Chie reaches the van and gives Makoto a small smile. "See, this is where those lessons will come in handy." I did afore, sure. I drove here, though, so someone's gonna need to drive my bike. Not that I *want* them to be needed. Just... * Rei finishes with Makoto and starts bandaging Chomei, too. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 3. Can put bike in back of van, Rei. Okay. * Lazar lifts up Rei's bike, and puts it in the back of the van. [So it is that China was again unified under a new dynasty... I mean Session End.]
