[Dat: Monday, June 20th. Still. Time: 6:30 p.m.] [You're all back at the Shanghai office, having infiltrated Kanghua Enterprises. You didn't find much, but Makoto did come across a few papers in a funny language he couldn't read.] [He brought it back to the office then left to take a nap. The rest of you are there. You've still got to finish infiltrating the building. How ya gonna do it?] [Session Start] ( Please tell me we've had an oportunity to change? ) * Chie walks back into the office, having changed back into her regular clothes. "Ahh. That feels so much better." (Well, I just decided to. ^_~) [Everyone has had an opportunity to change except Maria, 'cause I'm mean. Just kidding :P] Yeah, but I still think you should wear rainbow suspenders. Show off your true colors! Like in a Kodak commercial! The one with the Kirbies with the different hats. * Chomei is wearing his normal clothing. He's snoozing off to the side in one of the conveiniently placed chairs. * Maria is sitting on the wall, in her normal, ratty, unflattering duds. She seems much happier that way. * Chie laughs. "I'll keep that in mind. It'd be an interesting contrast." * Rei swivels in one of the chairs. "I'm glad you agree. More people should agree with me." Well, I've learned a few things today. First and foremost, apparently if necessary I really *can* impersonate a head safety inspector. Secondly, I now know more about the chemical composition of hairspray than any person *should* know. And I don't even use the stuff. ( The two biggest secrets to impersonating an official: Smile and nod ) * Maria giggles. (It's true!) (Yep!) I learned that more of us should learn Chinese. * Chomei snaps awake. "Wha? Chinese takeout? No, I'm not hun- Oh, you' We could conduct classes. With batons. * Chomei snaps awake. "Wha? Chinese takeout? No, I'm not hun- Oh, you're back. How'd it go?" But ye *gods*, that was boring. Batons? * Lazar steps into the office, apparently having been in the bathroom. He's dressed... well, like a 1920's gangster. Complete with fedora. * Chie walks over to where Chomei is sitting. "Oh, it went fine. As it turns out, we didn't need you there at all, although having Rei along would have been helpful." ( And pinstriped suit. ) * Chie looks over at Lazar and blinks. "Laz, you are having *way* too much fun with that thing." Well, at least you didn't need us. It was just about as boring here as it was over here. Lazar? You're having far too much fun with that. * Peter shakes his head. "Can none of you dress normally?" * Maria blinks at Lazar's getup and giggles. * Maria blinks at Peter. "Dunno. What's the normal way to dress?" * Rei spins more! "You mean in tweed? You're the only one who wears tweed. That ain't normal." She stops herself and woozes for a second. "Uh, figure out what the writing on the note and not the wall though sometimes walls have writing especially in bathrooms says Prof?" ... what? This how all Americans dress in movies... I figure I blend in like non-Chinese tourist person. (Nah. Americans only dress like that in Chicago.) What if we *had* needed you, though? Then what? * Chomei blinks, trying to parse Rei's statement. "What did you say?" That graffiti is very very bad and we should love instead! ... I confused. * Rei beams at Chomei. Oh, well, we would have come there. I dunno. Graffiti can be pretty informative, sometimes. ... Right. Just remind everyone again... I nowhere near full strength yet. * Chie sighs. "Just be more careful in the future. We run into enough trouble without having it come from our own team." Remember when make plans for what do next. * Chomei takes a deep breath. Hey, I try not to be too much trouble. It probably is better that I didn't come, anyways. Was no big deal this time, but just make sure no get knocked out by kirby doll or anything next time. *grins at Peter* Yeah. Well. Just don't pull stupid stunts like that again, okay? I don't *try* to pull stupid stunts. I didn't want the orange juice to fall out of my hands... How the hell was I supposed to know orange juice would short-circut the suit anyways? Wasn't Rei going to go in astral anyways? * Rei pouts. "It was my favorite suit that I barely knew!" That was kinda' weird. What'd you do to that suit, anyway? You didn't try to build in a toaster or something, did you? Uh... Not... really. * Chie sighs and rubs her head. "Yeah, okay. It was an accident. Just, y'know, try and avoid that sort of stuff from now on." * Maria eyes Rei. "You suuuure?" * Rei nodnods. "No toasters!" * Chomei leans back. "I'll be sure to avoid accidents from now on." Oh. Okay, then. ^_^ Well, it wasn't a toaster. What was it then? Scanning equipment? A defensive shield? Well, I figured that giving someone an electric shock at just the right time would be kinda handy, although then I'd have to hit them and I'm pretty bad at hitting people, so maybe not. Oh, a defensive shield! Wait, how would I manage that? * Rei ponders. ... Right. So, what's the plan? It no matter now. No cry over spilled juice. Well, as it turned out, we didn't have to worry about that. It ended up being pretty pedestrian, really. Go in, talk, sneak around a bit, get info, leave. Of course, I'd like to know what info we got now. No, that wouldn't work. Hmm... but then I'd need to... no. Have to juiceproof it. * Rei grabs a pencil and paper from her father's desk and starts jotting stuff down. Juiceproofing is easy. * Chie looks over at Rei and smirks. "Yeah. Real easy. Just keep Chomei away from you." ... can someone what read proper language take look at papers? * Chomei shakes his head. "What about the juice monster then?" Yeah. Prof! Well, then we use you as a diversion to keep the juice monster busy, of course. ( Reed ush a shtoree, prof! ) There's a simple solution for everything! * Chie grins. * Chomei rolls his eyes. "Of course. What does it say, prof?" * Peter is waiting for the GM. I asked that already! Why do you take credit for things I ask? And why isn't Makoto back yet? Phoo, he's always sleeping on the job. Well, not really, but he's sleeping when I don't want him to be sleeping. Darnit. * Chie laughs. "Well, this time he earned his rest, Rei." He's the one who got the info for us. [Peter translates the first page for you all. It's in Romanian script, and seems to be a urgent report to Asahara: Dracula has ressurrected, and wiped out the Romanian branch. There's some markings in Chinese doubting the claim, as Dracula was supposed to have been destroyed.] Ummm... Shit? ... oh fuck on stick. ...you're *kidding* me, right? [Um... Permanently destroyed. Except the report claims he's not, so....] They've got to be kidding. I *hope* they're kidding. ...Dracula. I've heard that name before, I think? That can't be true. And why would he go after Asahara, anyway? * Lazar rubs his head. "Dracula is most powerful of vampyres." ( He sure is! It says so in the guide! ) Lives in Transylvania. Almost impossible to kill. Never stays dead when killed. * Rei thinks. * Rei cracks open BOX and types away. * Peter stares at Maria. "I can't think of anyone who has not heard of the name." Maria must lead a *really* secluded life. * Maria flushes. I mean, besides the fact that it's *always* Asahara, and all. Oh. Uhm. That's bad, then. [Page two seems to have been accidently stapled to page one: It's a general memo sent out to Kanghua employees. It seems normal... Except down at the bottom it says, "Code for secret lab changed to 002122"] Even my people avoid Dracula... we good at what we did, but there limits. (Woot! Sign for secret lab!) "Secret Lab"? You mean they actually call it "Secret Lab"? * Chie snickers. "Wow. These people are *idiots*." Man, they must be really cocky in their security if they do that. Or they're idiots. ... something teacher once said to me. "Evil... thank God they dumb." * Chomei chuckles. * Maria nods. "Seems that way." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-2) and gets 5. [The last page is a report for the events that happened at the tomb. For the most part, things went as expected, but there were some problems. Namely, a number of their warriors were killed and/or otherwise removed. The report is written by Dimitri Romanov.] ...he's not *dead*?! Good. We get to hit him more. Or is this somebody pretending to be him? * Chomei cracks his knuckles. "Guess I'm gonna get another shot at that bitch." ( So obviously, we're battling Umbrella Inc. ) ( Which means any time now, zombies should attack. ) ... this giving me headache. Isn't Dimitri dead two times now? What do you want to bet Dimitri Romanov has a *lot* of identical cousins? Maybe there's a bunch of Dimitris, or something. I mean, there was a spare Rei lying around, right? Clones. Of *course*. Dammit. Probably like in that one show where there's about twelve of the same person and- uh... yeah. She has a point. It is possible. * Lazar mutters. "How come nobody make Lazar clones? Would be much easier with dozen golems to help." ( So, just like it was for me in my college years. Swell. ) 'cuz you're special. Except they'd all be trying to kill *us*, Laz. Which would be massively ungood. Indeed. (* Zegon hands Ard a big happy penguin lute.) * Lazar shakes his head. "Golems, except me, only animated by will of God. No could be animated to fight against us." They couldn't be animated period. Oh, I'm sure they could find a way around it. Or something close enough. Anyhow. Maybe robots. Or golem-like things. But no golems. ( They could so be animated. Ever see the Iron Giant? :P ) (*snerk*) Let's stay on topic, okay? Which topic? Dracula, the secret lab, or the reappearance of Dimitri? All of the above. ( Perhaps Dimitri is a Dracula clone built in a secret lab. ) And let's also figure out what the hell we need to do. Well, obviously this Dracula situation is the most pressing. ... not that we can do anything about it. * Rei scratches at the back of her head. "Okay, we should definitely let the rest of the SIU division know about the whole Dracula thing. Oh, and the Asahara branch in Romania - they're called Romahara, which is kinda funny, what'd they do, just replace- well, anyway, they haven't updated their site since October." Yeah. Prof, you should notify Interpol about that, like Rei said. I'll get right on it. Okay, now what about the secret lab? We find it! Romanian branch... that fit. Romania right on border with Hungary. Transylvania used to be split between two. Someone get me my hat and cloak! And pipe. Defnitely need a pipe. I'm guessin' it's *not* going to be on any blueprints. * Chomei shrugs. "Simple. Should we go kick Dimitri's ass while we're at it?" * Chie grins. "Goin' for the Sherlock Holmes look, Rei?" And, sure. If we find Dimitri, we kick his ass. No problem. * Rei grins. "Just the grrrrreatest detective who ever lived!" Which is really saying something, since he was purely fictional. * Maria blinks. "Whowhat homes?" No kidding. * Rei eyes Maria. * Peter eyes Maria. * Chomei shakes his head. "Maria, you need to read some books some time." Where'd you grow up? A box? We really need to indoctrinate you into pop culture, Maria. * Maria goes real red at Rei's question. * Rei blinks. "Oh, I'm sorry! You really did grow up in a box! I at least hope it was comfortable for you. Hardwood, y'know, maybe with some carpet for padding, and one of those little fridgerators..." Rei? Maybe you should use your BOX and see if you can come up with somethin' on that secret lab? * Maria [stares] at Rei. * Rei tilts her head. "Well, I guess I could try to hack into their system." She goes back to typing. "And if that fails, I could try to access it from a terminal in the building, which should definitely have *something*." I'llbewaitingoutside. It really amazes me that you're so good at infiltration, and still don't know some of the most popular figures in the last three centuries. * Maria hops off the wall and heads out. Fast. ... you all very, very dumb. * Rei glances up at where Maria ran. "What'd I say?" Those two things don't necessarily have anythin' to do with each other, Chomei. * Lazar eyes Maria's exit, and shakes his head. * Chomei shrugs. "That's true. It still surprises me." Maria.. * Chie sighs. "I'll go talk to her, unless you think that's a dumb idea, too." 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-1) and gets 5. Nobody know much about Maria past. May be good reason she no know these things. So you make fun of her about it? I supposed to be dumb one here. * Chomei chuckles. "Look Lazar. That's my job." ( Now, now, boys. There's plenty of stupid fo go around. ) * Lazar waves at Chie. "I talk to her. Stay here, make sure they no make plan what require me to stand in doorway and get hit many times." * Chie just shakes her head and half-smiles. "Sure thing, Laz." * Chomei scratches his head. "Did I say something?" * Lazar switches into slightly less conspicuous clothes (T-shirt, cargo shorts, sandals), and heads out after Maria. Mmm. Everyone's got sore spots. People don't always mean to poke at them, but it happens. The trick is figuring out what it is *before* you poke too hard. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-1) and gets 8. * Rei doesn't comment, oddly enough. She just frowns, brings up another window, and keeps typing. * Chomei frowns slightly. "Well, I'll have to keep from commenting on it, then. Won't I?" Maybe the best idea, yeah. * Chie sighs. "I never used to worry about stuff like that, honestly." Guess it means I must like all you people or somethin'. * Chie smiles a little. * Chomei smirks. "What, you don't normally like people?" Ehh. Most people, I got nothin' against, but I don't exactly go carin' much about what they think, or how they think, or stuff like that. Really? I thought you did... What with the way you change your look every so often. * Chie laughs. "Nah, just the opposite. I do it 'cause I feel like it, not 'cause I think anybody else would care." * Rei interrupts the heartfelt conversation with, "Hey, when you were in the building, didja see anything strange in the research and development department?" ( "Yes. There were people who were excited about hairspray." ) And I don't mean hairspray and weird chemicals, 'cause that's pretty normal, but structural anomalies and stuff. They seem to be obsessed with hairspray. And there was some sort of office off to the side... that's where Makoto got the info from. * Rei hmms. "Any other offices?" She checks another window. Structural anomalies... Laz and Maria were lookin' for those, really. I didn't see anything. My job seemed to end up bein' talking to the head scientist and keeping him distracted. That was the only office I saw. Hey... did you see a place to plug the code in? Yeah, that makes sense, since you were the only one who knew Chinese. Hum. Yeah, that's part of what I was asking. Like a keypad? Hmmm... lemme think if I remember any. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 8. * Chie shakes her head. "Sorry, I don't remember any. Doesn't mean there weren't any, though." Well, it can be anywhere in the building, but R&D seems like a good place to start. 'Specially that one office Makoto went in - I bet he went into that one with the camera. Weird to have a camera in an office, innit? ... Yeah, you're right. Yeah. I hope he realized it was there. Probably. Makoto isn't stupid. He's pretty smart, though. I think he'd look for that. (Guess whose theme's up on WinAmp now? ^_~) * Rei beams. "Anyway, I figure I can go astral and take a peek for that keypad. Almost nobody's in the building after nine, and security lightens up, too." You think they'd see you? * Chie nods. "What about the rest of us, then?" Oh yeah. I bet they have astral detectors at every corner. * Chomei shrugs. "Probably not up there, but further in, espically in the 'secret' lab." Or ward things, like in the other building. You're needed for when I know where the sekrit laboratory is, even though I already have a good idea. I mean, come on, the door's probably made out of that stupid stuff that stops me from just entering when I want to, anyway. So you're gonna go in by yourself first? Maybe we should have Maria follow you, as well? * Rei looks at Chie and nods. "Right now, actually." She closes her eyes and relaxes in her seat. ( Hey! That's my job! ) * Chie frowns. "Rei... be really, *really* careful, okay?" Okay Rei. We'll take care of things here... And be careful. * SpiritRei seperates from her body. ~Nah, it shouldn't be necessary.~ She runs her hand through her hair, it going back into place once the smoothing passes. ~'Course! I'm always careful!~ She grins semi-manically, though a hint of fear shows through - not that Chomei or Peter can see it. ~Anyhow, Maria probably doesn't want to talk to me anyway. For some reason. I'll be back later.~ She zips off. * SpiritRei pokes her head back through the door. ~And no making out while I'm gone!~ And then she's off again. * Chomei takes a deep breath (as this is going to drive the GM insane with three windows open). "... WHAT?" * Chie sputters. "REI!" ( Yes, yes it is. ) * Chie looks at Chomei. "I don't know *where* she gets that. Do you?" (*cracks up. You just had to, didn't you Ard?) ( 'Specially since the prof is still there with you. ) (Yes. ^^) * Chomei shrugs, looking back at Chie. "No idea." [The prof decides to take a nice nap.] Good. Glad you agree with me. ( It's obvious; she wants to be there when you DO make out. ) (Of course she does. ^_^) Because it's a totally ridiculous idea, really. * Chomei leans back. "Yeah. I mean, why the hell would we ever 'make out'?" Exactly. We'd have to actually be interested in each other for that. ( *Cue awkward silence. ) And I really don't see how that'd happen. Oh, absolutely. I mean, even if it *were* true, I'm sure you'd never even notice. I'd never notice? I'm sure you'd never notice that I'd never notice. You don't care about what people think, remember? ( Gimme awareness checks! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 2. [Chie suddenly notices a distraction!] [Chie notices that Peter is totally hawt.] (No, Brett.) (Please?) ( It's true; Atom gave him 3 levels of appearance :P ) (What the heck?) (... Think Peter's compensating for Eoi?) ( Ignore it if you want. I'm just being silly :P ) (Thanks, Brett. ^_^ Sorry 'bout that. We'll be silly enough on our own. ^_~ But I'll work that in. ^_^) (Oh, I bet you will.) That's right. I dont' care. Especially not what you think. And why would I go for somebody like you, anyway? Hell, the *professor's* got you beat in the looks department! (Go Chie!) (Like that. ^_^) Just like you to judge someone on appearance, really. I can't believe people were suggesting that we were somehow 'interested' in eachother. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 9. Yeah. You obviously don't know anything about me at all. You're so clueless. Yeah, and that hair dye must've gotten to your brain sometime. You must be seeing illusions right now. ( Hmmm.... Cursed hair dye, eh? ) Yeah. The illusion that I might have actually *cared*, you idiot! Cared about what? Cared about helping the team? Yeah, that's a good one... Don't let me get in your way of *not* caring. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6) and gets 6. * Maria walks back in. Cue Awkward Silence Two: The Sequel. * Chie doesn't notice Maria. "No, that I might have actually cared about *you*!" * Chomei , clueless as ever, doesn't notice Maria either. "Hah! Like you *could* care about me. I can't believe that I had ever tried to cheer you up. It was clearly a waste of time!" Fine! You wanna believe that I don't care, go ahead! You wanna believe that spending time with me was a waste, go on! * Maria watches the fight, analyzing it with her keen knowledge of Kung Foo'. * Lazar wanders down as well, but stops before the door when he hears the shouting. He peeks in, and decides staying outside would be a Good Thing. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6-3) and gets 4. I don't believe, I know you don't care! But that doesn't matter, because you clearly believe that I.. Don't... care? * Chie crosses her arms and stares at him. "Well, you don't, do you?" * Chomei scratches his head. "I... I'm... I guess I might..." 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for SpiritRei (2d6-1) and gets 4. ( Low rolls! Yay Rei! ) (Go Rei!) (Whew. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. @_@) * Chie blinks. "What... did you just...?" * Chomei blinks. "Do... you?" * Chie seems to consider that for a minute, then finally shakes her head and laughs. "Aww, what the hell." * Chie walks over to him, stands on her tiptoes, leans forward, and kisses him. * Lazar mutters softly in Hungarian. If anyone could hear, or spoke Hungarian, they'd have heard him say "Geez. Took you two long enough..." * Chomei is clueless as ever until she does that. His eyes go wide for a second, and then he kisses her back. * Maria beams. "Awwww." ^_^ ( They explode! X.x ) * Chie stops. "There. Believe me now?" * Chomei pauses. * Lazar steps out into the doorway and claps. "Should I go get violins and flowers?" ( Say no, Chomei! ) Yup. ( You can get her to do it again! ) * Chomei embraces Chie and kisses her again. * Rei opens her eyes. "Hey! What'd I tell you about making out? Get a room!" ... damn. Little one learn quick. For once. ( They got one. This one. :P ) * Rei pulls off her shoe and throws it at them. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-2) and gets 7. * Rei misses! * Chie kisses Chomei for a good, long time. Then, finally, she stops and opens her eyes. "Oh, hi, guys. When did you all get here?" [Rei hits Lazar by mistake.] Two seconds too early. * Chomei stops kissing as well. "Yeah. How long have ya been standing there?" ( ~I told you so!~) ... hey! What I do? * Lazar tosses the shoe back to Rei. Gently. Underhand. Really. (*bam!*) Maybe five minutes. * Rei takes it in the face. "Ow!" I wasn't even sneaking. Heck, I tried to talk to you once or twice. Oh. Um... hey, watch that, Laz. * Lazar facepalms. "I tossed it underhand, as soft as possible." * Chomei blushes... Blushes? Yeah, he blushes softly at that. ( Let's all live in a yellow submarine, instead. ) * Rei points at Chomei. "He's turning reeeeed. You must've had a confession of love! Or at least like." Sorry, Rei. Should have warned you before throwing. * Rei puts her shoe back on. Those are her favorite sneakers, after all. Bright green and orange and potentially radioactive. No, it was love. I think. * Chie looks up at Chomei and just smiles, then looks at everybody else and starts laughing. What's so funny? * Chie slips her hand into his. "Everything." Maybe she's finally cracked. * Rei rolls her eyes. "Whatever. Get a room." She's still grinning. "Visited Kanghua. We should say hi tonight." Oh, and I found Dimitri's addy! I wonder if I can spam him to death. No, I cracked. See? *turns off illusion* Wait, you went there by yourelf? * Chie grins back. "Yeah, you should." And, yeah, we've got an evil lab to investigate. * Chomei glances at Maria, then at Lazar. He shakes his head, and suddenly gets more serious. "Right. We have a job to do tonight..." Well, yeah. It wasn't hard. Just follow those easy to read map directions and bam! You're there! In the... not flesh, really. Mist? No. Spirit? I guess. Yeah. Spirit! And there weren't any paper things to stop you? Nope! But there was lots of paper. ... no offense, but might be better if wait until tomorrow. *points thumb down at his rather cratered chest* If possible. Depends on what might be waiting for us, I guess. If no possible... then I just try no to get hit as much. * Rei looks at Lazar. "I... guess. I sorta want to get to Japan sometime soon, you know, but if people need rest I guess we can wait 'till tomorrow." * Rei considers. "Maybe if I can go astral now I can reach Japan by nine in the evening Shanghai time tomorrow..." Well, what exactly did you find, Rei? Rest couldn't hurt. Huh? Oh, just a moving bookcase and some boring experiments and Dimitri's address. Seems like they really do have Xu Huang's axe, too. Moving bookcase? Nifty. And they didn't lie to poor Ren. That actually surprises me. * Chomei shrugs. "Interesting, really. I guess they're really trying to be a good evil corperation bent on world domination." I sorry to hold up team... but if I going to play usual role on team, I need be in bit better shape. * Rei fidgets and looks away from Lazar. Oh look, floor. Well, I haven't been in top shape since I got here either. But how long will those records be reliable? * Lazar starts to say something, notices Rei's reaction, then falls silent for a moment. "... if want to go tonight, just say so, Rei." * Chomei blinks at Rei, then at the rest of the team. "We go tonight. No knowing how much time we actually have." But getting people killed isn't going to help, either. Are they going to have something that can hurt Lazar down there? Even in his battered form? I dunno. I didn't go into the tawp sekrit evil laboratory 'cause I figured you guys would throw a hissy fit and then hit me with a foam bat manymany times over and not give me ice cream tomorrow which would be bad. Well, that might happen. 'Scept the ice cream part, 'cause that'd be MEAN. It would! Really mean! And that'd just be wrong. * Lazar shakes his head. "I still no understand why I healing so much slower here than in Japan. Is very frustrating." I got a theory on that! One day can mean the biggest difference in the world. I feel we don't have time to waste. * Rei powerposes. Didn't someone say something about Tokyo being a big focus of something or other? Theory? Wha? Yeah! * Chie sighs. "Well, I know I'm not exactly at 100% now, but I think if we're careful enough, we can pull it off tonight." We might wanna get Makoto back for this, though. Can't hurt to have everyone there. * Maria nods. See, I figure like attracts like. The reason most normals - I like that word, normals, it's a cool word - don't run into paranormal influences isn't simply because the supernatural doesn't exist. It's because they're not paranormal themselves. If there's a big focus like, oh, Tokyo. Or Transylvania. Or whatever, then paranormal influences are just gonna swamp there. And that'd probably make you heal faster. ...oh. That makes sense. A lot of sense. * Chomei glances down at Chie, then back up. "Yeah. We really don't have the time to do this tomorrow, though... Because the longer we wait, the more time the newbies have to get swamped. Remember them, and how they're doing our real job now?" It's all theoretical. Should check with the prof on it. * Rei pokes at the professor. "Who seems to be snoozin'." ... is possible to get into building after closes? Like, after midnight? * Rei snorts. "Can pigs fly?" ... in Transylvania, or normally? * Maria laughs. * Chomei smacks his face with his free hand. "I should have seen that comming." I serious. Winged demon pigs nothing to laugh at. They are until you have to fight one. * Maria laughs, out loud and all. I mean, really now. ... okay, they is something to laugh at. But when we need to leave to get into building? The correct answer is "yes, with jet packs on." Which would be my answer to you. We'll just break in; I can shut down whatever security's on the way, and Maria can lead you all through so you don't all get nabbed like the corporeal people you are. * Rei shrugs. "Security lightens up at nine at night. Give 'em an hour or two first." But we don't get jet packs. Darn. That would've been fun. There's one guard on each floor and four in the control room. That means that if we run into the guy on one floor? Probably don't need to worry about the rest. * Rei grins. * Lazar hmms. "I meditate until need to leave, then. Hopefully, body heal little bit more." * Maria snodnods, still giggling from the question. Can we get in after the building closes. I mean, really, now. (Glad Maria finds it as funny as Rei does and Makoto would. ^^) So, we leave tonight... How much time do we have? * Chomei checks his watch. * Chomei nods. "Eight, so that gives us... about three and a half hours until we leave." Time enough for a nap. Or for you an' Chie to make out some more. * Rei laughs. * Chie laughs. "No, I think getting rest is probably the more practical idea." I heading up to roof, then. Is quiet, I can meditate. Just need someone to get me when ready to leave. * Chie nods. "You got it, Laz." * Chomei eyes Maria, but lets up a little and chuckles. "Yeah. We'll go up to meet you when it's time." * Maria nods. "I'll go find a chair or sofa to sleep on." And she heads out to do that. ( I got him to lighten up! ^_^_v) * Chie waves to Maria as she leaves. I'm napping, too. No making out in front of the prof! I'll know! Don't think I won't. I know everything. * Chie nods. "Yeah, you do." She smiles. * Rei gives a v for victory. "Of course!" She grins maniacally and packs up her stuff and scoots out the door, probably to nap, but more likely to find Makoto and wake him up in the rudest way possible. * Chomei smirks. "Yeah, of course you do." [End]
