[Day: Monday, June 28th. Time: 10:30 p.m.] [After a lot of careful planning, you managed to wind up with Rei getting put in a box. Woot. Now you're about to charge into the Asahara building. Or sneak into it. Or something. Except Maria, who went up the side of the building. Oh, it's raining and thundering and lightning and Chomei is lame.] [Session Start] (Rub it in why don't ya! *fistshake*) ( Pipe down, lame-o. ) (Chef Boyardee's Lame-O's! Now with little Chomei faces! Get 'em while they're hot.) ... okay, one last time. Plan is I break down door, we run to elevator, go to top, beat hell out of everyone what look funny. Is right? Yeah. * Chie eyes the building. "Our orignal plan was to *not* attract a lot of attention, but I don't think we've got time for that." * Asanjya struggles to work BOX and not drop it while holding her staff at the same time. * Lazar nods. What kind of door is it? (Lazar! Use your battering ram attack!) (An easily breakable one. ;p) [It's a glass door.] 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6+3) and gets 7. (... VERY easily breakable) * Rei is now known as SpiritRei * Lazar shrugs, takes a step back, and shouldercharges through the door. Or tries to. * Asanjya tosses her staff over to Chie. "Hold this!" * SpiritRei is now known as Rei * Chie catches it. "Okay, but I'm gonna have to give it back if we start fighting." 2d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6+3) and gets 11. (*wince*) ( Lazar, body -4 + SS.... ah hell, don't even bother. ) (Hehe.) ( That'd be a body roll at -12. ^_^ ) ( Lazar: 1, Building: 0. ) * Asanjya punches random keys on the BOX. "... brimstone and ashes, I can't make it do a damn thing!" I think Rei probably has her own systems on that thing. [Lazar shatters the door into tiny little shards. The receptionists inside scream and run away. At the same time, an alarm sounds.] There goes subtle. Yep. So I noticed.... oh, there's the alarm. Um... damn. Uh, who cares at this point? I don't. Let's go! * Lazar heads for the elevator. Whee! [Several security guards run out from a hallway in back. They kneel and point guns. "Freeze!"] * Chie stays *behind* Lazar. * Chomei heads for the elevator, trying to use Lazar as cover. * Lazar grins, and draws his sword. "Oh, you no want do that." [The guards exchange glances. "A sword? What the hell?"] * Lazar palms his pendant, revealing his golem form. "Boo." * Asanjya tucks Box into a pocket in her cloak, then motions for Chie to toss her back her staff. If Chie is paying attention. * Chie hands the staff back to Asanjya. * Chomei skids to a halt and summons Rownal. "Try not to kill them this time." [The response is "Holy crap!" Followed by the guards emptying their pistols into Lazar and achieving very little.] * WorkDebugger is now known as NinjaDebugger * ChanServ sets mode: +o NinjaDebugger * Asanjya sticks behind the Wall of Rock. Possibly a little closer than necessary. I always try... but humans break so easy. *turns back to guards* Please no make me... aw heck. *advances at the guards, swinging with the flat of his blade* [The guards turn and run when Lazar advances.] Let's go! Let them go. We gotta head up! (Man, we need the MIB after this mess.) (( *hands out flashie-thingies* )) * Asanjya scans for the elevators. (It was just swamp gas off of a weather balloon.) ... rrar! I like big green Lizard guy what always destroying Tokyo! ... except with sword. And smaller. And no fight stupid giant moth. *blinks; heads for elevator* * Chie snickers and follows Lazar to the elevator. * Asanjya follows Chie. [There are elevators. Bing!] * Chomei sprints for the elevators. * Lazar gets in. "Is top floor, right?" Yep. That's where we're supposed to meet Maria, at least. * Lazar lets his sword rest at his side, against the wall, so he won't accidentally bisect someone. * Asanjya flips through her notebook. "I still wonder if I can even hurt the thing." Head's up! * Chomei shrugs. ... should probably take back door out when leave. *pushes button for top floor once everyone's in* 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-5) and gets 1. Yeah, good idea. [Just as the elevator doors begin to close, you see Rei rush into the building.] Wait! * Chie jams the door open button. * Asanjya jams her hand in the doors. * Rei comes dashing through the front door, looking like, uh, a very, very wet girl with bad color coordination and a tail. "What the hell'd you do!" * Chomei puts his foot between the door. We got inside! We're trying to rescue you! ...apparently, that's no longer necessary. Yeah, I see that, and I've already rescued myself, but thanks! Oh, Rei? What's the word? Okay. So let's go kill stupid metal dog thing. * Rei runs full-tilt for the elevator, squeezes in, and smashes her face into Lazar. "ow." * Rei rubs at her nose. * Asanjya pushes the up button again. Oh! Right. * Lazar doesn't feel bad. If you don't notice the huge grey stone guy as you're running, that's your problem. =P ( *STARES* ) * Asanjya reaches into her cloak and pulls out BOX. "This is yours. I tried to look at the floorplans, but I kinda got lost trying to move the cursor." [The elevator goes up! ... really, really slowly. The weight warning goes off.] Rei? ... that no good. The word is they're upgrading Blight. Kuro might be here. And they've gathered all those spirits for some sort of bomb, which I imagine can be devestating on a sub-sub-sub atomic level, since they don't actually have atoms. I was about to be part of that, by the way. Go go gadget weapons of mass destruction. * Rei takes BOX and hugs it. "Did she take good care of you?" And then she looks up. "Oh. Weight warning." Stop at next floor. I run up stairs, meet at top floor. Kuro? And a spirit bomb? How's *that* work? Yeah, you know, lame guy that dresses like Chomei with a scythe. I'm guessin' Batboy. Like it does in Dragonball XGTL, silly. * Lazar pushes the button to stop the elevator at the next floor. * Chie blinks and her eyes widen. "So *that's* his name." * Rei holds her hand out to Chie. "Can I have my backpack back, please? And the knife. That way, I don't need to ask you for it later!" * Asanjya just looks a little blank. Sure. Oh, wait. What's the password? * Chie grins at Rei. [The elevator stops on the next floor!] Zombie waffles and flying fishnets, since we never did settle on one! * Chie laughs. "That's right. We got distracted." * Chie hands Rei her stuff. * Lazar steps out. "Meet at top floor. No do anything brave or dumb 'till I get there." *lumbers out to the stairs as fast as he can* * Cait`Sith is now known as Caitless Nah, we did it on purpose. We *never* get distracted. Getting distracted's for weenies. Gotcha, Laz. ...sorry, Rei, what'd you say? * Asanjya nods to Lazar and pushes the door close button. * Chie winks. * Rei blinks as he lumbers. "Uh, never mind. Nobody's going with him?" I'm staying with you. * Chomei nods. He'll be fine on his own. Yeah, okay. He's a golem, after all. [The elevator goes up! Up! It reaches the top floor and opens... into a room of cubicles. (gimme a mind roll)] * Rei rubs at the back of her head, then tries shaking water out of her tail. If you weren't wet before, you are now. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 6. * Asanjya pulls a little bit of dried beastie out of a pouch and ties it around her staff.... 2d6 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 9. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-3) and gets 4. [Those who made it: This obviously 'ain't the top floor.] Guys? I don't think this is what we're looking for. 2d6 ... it's not? * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 5. It isn't? This is not the floor we are looking for. But the elevator doesn't go up any more. * Rei steps out, opening BOX and turning it on as she does so. ( Figures. No elevator to the sekrit lab of EEEEEEVIL. ) Don't tell me it's another one of those weird elevators. * Asanjya steps out into the cubicles. * Chomei glances around warrily. [Asanjya has the depressing feeling that the highlight of her day will be her coffee break.] * Rei looks up. What's the ceiling made out of? (*snerk*) [Linolium.] ( Evil! ) (That's impressive, for a ceiling.) .... I feel dirty. We need to get out of here. ( No kiddin'. ) Try the stairs? * Rei checks her floor plans again. "Couple options. We can do it the nice and quiet way and take the stairs. Or we can do it like you guys did when you entered, and just blast our way up." Stairs. Yeah. Let's go subtle this time. Well, relatively. They will expect us to blast our way up since we triggered the alarm. * Rei giggles and zips for the wall, running along it. Stairs gotta be here somewhere. ( Now that everyone knows you're here? "Be on the lookout for a large stone fellow." ) * Asanjya charges after Rei, trying not to get entangled in any office drudgery. * Chie follows. I don't feel any spirits here... but *man*, this place is depressing. * Rei gives up on running, since it takes way too much effort, and starts flying instead. "Y'know, for some reason, I doubt stairs will really take us there." [Asanjya manages to stave off her sudden desire to replace the toner for the copy machine.] * Chomei runs along the wall too. That's cubicle life! It eats your soul much more effectively than demons ever can. [Y'all find the stairs!] * Rei opens the door to the stairs! It doesn't go up, does it? Really? Interesting... Yay, the stairs! Do we wait for Laz? [Nope!] Well. I guess we go with the blasting method. But we should wait for Laz. Wow, go figure. Okay, wait for Lazar. I'm gonna go see if there's some way up, because there has to be some way up. I shall combat the dreariness with my anti-dreary might! * Rei starts scouring the area. Raaar. * Asanjya shouts to Rei. "Steer clear of the coffee machine!" * Rei can be heard yelling, "Yay, coffee!" * Asanjya yells back, "Evil coffee!" * Chie laughs. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 4. * Asanjya finishes winding the Bit O Beastie around her staff. There. What's that? Stoat intestine. Just a bit of good luck. Oh-kayyyy... ... Right. * Rei walks around the coffee machine and comes to a door. "Well, well, what do we have here. A storage closet with an out of order sign. BZZT, wrong! You can't be out of order if you're a closet! Closets are eternal, they fulfill their purpose until the door falls off, and you, sir, are obviously not the case." * Rei tries opening it. You found it, Rei? Maybe! There's coffee! [It doesn't open; it's out of order.] (The Eternal Closet would be an awesome name for a band.) * Rei kicks the door. [Meanwhilsts, Lazar comes up the stairs.] This is where we need Laz. [The door does not like being kicked, but it's polite so it holds its tongue.] * Asanjya looks over to Lazar. "Yay, you made it! Go help Rei with this door we found!" ... * Rei hops up and down on one foot. "Owie." Yeah, go help her before she hurts herself. Again. * Chie looks over and waves. "Hey, Laz. We were just talkin' about you. Need help with a door." Rei, you all right? Yeah, I'm okay, it's just that the door struck back with all the force of my foot! ( Stupid Newtonian physics! ) * Chie laughs a little. "Poor you. Well, Lazar will avenge your foot! Right, Laz?" ... that is very many stairs. Is good think I no get tired. ( I much prefer My Physics! The one's that I get to rewrite to suit my needs. ) * Lazar nods, walks over, and kicks the door near the handle. * Asanjya follows Lazar to see the Out of Order closet. * Rei has the sense to hop out of the way. * Chomei stands back as Lazar does the anti-door thing. * Chie heads over to the closet of disorder. [Lazar busts down the door, revealing a... storage closet.] ... * Chie peeks. "Aww, you're kiddin' me!" ... * Rei sulks off. Geez. ( "It's just a box." ) That's astounding. What, exactly, is out of order about it? * Chomei shrugs. "Maybe there's a hidden handle or something? * Asanjya peers inside. * Rei stops sulking off and peeks in. Maybe there's something that'll get them up. ... this no seem like super secret top floor. There has to be *some* way up there. I mean, they can't blast their way to the top every day or something. Can you imagine what the repair bills would be? Very high. That's what. This isn't. We're not at the top yet. [Asanjya notices it's very packed. Rei notices a sign in Engrish: "Prease do not set your pants on fire."] (Dammit, I was planning on setting fire to my pants later.) * Rei nods at the sign. "Very good advice." She takes it and hangs it outside the door, right over the out of order sign. Nothing in there? It looks like it's used... to store things. Damn. Who would've thought? * Rei pouts. She weasels her way in and starts looking more carefully. "Well, you start looking!" ( Rei, mind roll +4 ) ... if want, I can try punch walls, see if anything happens. Next thing you know, people will use cars to drive. * Chie glances around. * Asanjya follows Rei around the closet. 2d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6+4) and gets 16, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "I hate being random." (... HAAhahahaha.) (...) ( Oooooh... ) (Rei is so intent on looking that she walks into a broom.) (Rei mistakes cleaning solvent for coffee.) (Mmm. :9) [Rei figures it out! Setting her pants on fire is the secret to getting to the top!] (Ard just critfail a cooking roll?) (If we spend the entire episode trying to keep Rei from setting her pants on fire...) * Rei perks. "That's it! The sign, it's a clue! Even if it's a poorly written clue." She starts looking for a lighter, or matches, or something. ... Rei, no. No. (You don't even know what she figured out. >.>) But it's staring me in the face! Pants! On fire! Top! That doesn't make sense at all. Which is why it'd work! That *can't* be right. ... I think that cue for me to punch walls. * Chomei nods. "Have at it Lazar." * Lazar makes his way past Rei to the closet, and punches at the three walls. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-2) and gets 0, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I wish I got to hand out more of these, really." * Rei reaches into her backpack and, horror of horrors, finds a lighter. "Okay, now a place where it won't burn anything down, uh, hard on a floor with nothing but nice, flammable stuff... oh! * Rei goes to the coffee machine and starts disassembling it. ( no disassemble coffee five! ) ( sorry, it begged for it ) [Lazar gets sucked through the wall.] ...whoa! ... * Rei laughs maniacally as she works. "It's genius, I tell you! Pure genius! And later, I can use the parts to make that housecleaning robot I was thinking about." Oy! Rei! What! I'm working here! Stop with the burning, and get over here! Lazar just got eaten by the closet! ... I KNEW that closet was evil! I wonder if it took Lazar for granite... (... I hate you.) * Rei runs over. "Let me at it, let me..." She "accidentally" runs into Chomei. "Oops. Watch the puns next time." * Chomei gets knocked into the closet. "Watch it Rei!" I propose we use Chomei as a test subject! I second. * Asanjya makes a face. I'll go. ... * Chomei knocks on the closet walls. * Chie watches. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d6+7) and gets 10. [Chomei gets sucked into the wall too!] d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (d6+8) and gets 10. * Chie heads on in. ... guess we follow. * Chie knocks on the walls. * Rei eyes the wall, then knocks on the one Chomei knocked on. ( Chie's pants catch fire! ) * Asanjya touches the wall after Rei. (... Hehe.) (Damn.) (I WAS RIGHT.) (Luckily, I carry water!) (Is it... Water of Fire's Bane +10?) ( No, it's water of burning! ) ( What else? ) (Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!) (*smacks Chomei with a trout* Shaddup.) [Y'all enter behind Lazar into a hallway in which six assault-riflers are aiming directly at you. Now roll init.] ( Spidergirl Underoos! You rock, Chie! ^_^_v) * Rei points. "You could poke somebody's eye out with that." d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (d6+6) and gets 10. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (d6+6) and gets 10. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (d6+7) and gets 13. d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (d6+8) and gets 14. Well. Hello there. (... Chie, I can't decide what to think about that statement.) * Asanjya blanches and meeps. Kindly point those somewhere else, would you? (I break heads! Yay!) * Chomei winces. "This'll hurt." (Didn't break mine. >.>) (I'm not broken! I just don't know what to say. ._.) [Order is: Chomei, Chie, Lazar, Maria, Asanjya, Rei, guards.] [Chomei's turn!] (Your head is already broken) * Chomei ducks behind Lazar and his bow starts to eminate a soft golden light. [Chie's turn!] Laz... I'm gonna let you handle this one for the moment. * Chie stays behind Lazar and holds action until after his turn. [Lazar's turn!] * Lazar hesitates for a moment, then charges right into the ranks of the gunmen, bringing his sword down in an overhead slash at one of them. "I told you freeze! Now you better run!" 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 7. [Eww... Lazar darn near chops his arm off! The gunners might run if they weren't above-standard extras. But they are, so they stick around.] [Maria's turn!] ( Wow. These guys have decent HP. ) (So the higher standing you are, the less you run away?) ( Of course ) * Maria strikes out, almost casually, at the gunner's wrist. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 5. [Maria sends the gun flying] [Asanjya's turn!] * Asanjya ducks behind Chomei and starts with the chanting. (end turn) (Why me?!) (Behind Lazar. Behind big rock guy.) (Because Lazar is in the fray and you're standing still.) (*sigh) (Oh. On my delayed turn, all I'm going to do is put Lazar between me and the gunners and go on Total Defense.) [Rei's turn!] * Rei takes a few steps back and does a little please-don't-notice-me prayer. (total defense, end turn) [Guards turns!] [They open fire! Except one guy who runs for his gun.] (Eek!) ( Uh, everyone gimme a defense roll except Asanjya and Rei. ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 5. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-4) and gets 4. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 6. (Holy dang Chie. That's some impressive ranged defense.) (I was doing Total Defense.) (Oh, right.) ( Maria has 10 seconds before she fails. ) ( Urk! ) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-3) and gets 5. ( Sorry! x_x ) ( Don't kill Maria! Take me instead! ) ( Yah! I'm the only one who's gotten to kill her so far! ) (*blows Cait up in a plasma-burst.) [Well, you all manage to avoid the attacks except Lazar, and it doesn't really matter anyhow. One guard's bullet ricochets 437 times, building up speed, and rockets all the way out of the building and to America where it kills Yu- Mei.] [Chomei's turn!] ( x_x ) (You *did* ask for it.) (* casts Life on Yu.) * Chomei brings his bow around and fires at one of the centers of three guards. "See you in hell." He fires, the light forming into an arrow and streaking torwards the enemies. It splits into at least ten motes of light which spin and spread torwards the guards, each one seeking a target. ( *comes back to live with 3 hp, drinks a potion of Curaga* ) 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-5) and gets 4. [Chomei murders some guards.] ( ... that's painful. ) [Chie's turn] * Chie begins whispering as she draws her new sword. The silver light looks really neat when combined with the red blade. She eyes the remaining armed guard, then swings in his direction. "Spirit Stream!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 0. [Chie connects dead on. The guards decide they've had enough and run away.] Stupid guards. Everyone okay? * Asanjya stops chanting and nods. Yep. Good. Hi, Maria. Find anything? Just the restroom. You guys got here pretty fast. * Chomei nods. "Good. Let's keep going then." * Rei just stares. She's looking paler by the moment. We took the direct route. I guess Rei doesn't need rescue after all? ...Rei? * Chomei looks back at Rei. "... Right. Rei, you okay?" Yeah, she caught up to us... are you all right, Rei? * Rei snaps out of it and runs to one of the fallen guards, checking his vitals. * Asanjya looks at Rei. "Not looking so good, Rei..." [Whoever didn't run is pretty damn dead.] Rei, they work for Asahara. They no panic at sight of golem. So they know what going on. No just normal average guards. * Rei grimaces and checks another, then the third. And then she ends up sitting on the floor. There's a long pause before she responds to Lazar's statement. "So?" * Chomei holds his head. "First kill metal demon. THEN worry about what we did." We take care of normal guards downstairs, without hurting any. *eyes Rei* Normal guards just normal people doing job. These know they working for evil company. Makes them evil. So what matter? * Chie sighs. "We have to keep going." * Lazar shrugs. "Maria? Know where we need go?" * Rei reaches over to close his eyes and stands. Her voice has become surprisingly soft and even. "If you need to ask, you'll never understand." They knew the risks. They got up here the same way we did. They knew it was a top-secret facility and illegal stuff was happening *and* that by defending this area with lethal force, they can be killed themselves. * Lazar stares impassively. "I could say same thing about you, little one, but this no time." * Maria looks around. "I could prolly figure it out." If want debate morality, we do *after* stop metal demon. * Asanjya has been scouting off down the hallway. ( GM comes back ) (Chomei is True Neutral. That cinched it.) * Chomei nods and motions forward. "Let's go." (Yup. Chomei is *very* True Neutral. :P) * Chie heads off. She's quiet, but doesn't seem upset. * Chomei heads off too! Making sure The Laz is in front. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-5) and gets 1. * Asanjya gets behind Laz when he catches up. * Maria glances around and gestures in a direction. "This way, probably." * Maria heads that way, making sure Asan and Laz come along. * Chomei nods and goes that direction too. * Chie heads along. * Rei glares at Lazar as he leaves. She takes the moment to make sure the other eyes are closed too, bows her head, and follows along. * Lazar lumbers in the appropriate direction, at the head of the group, but not too far ahead of the others. ( Yeah, Rei'n Lazar mix kinda like oil and napalm. =P ) [Maria leads y'all down a hallway, around a few corners, etc etc... to a door!] This should be it. [Probably. It's got "Top Secret Lab" Written over it.] [So! There's the door!] There it is, guys. You ready? * Chomei shrugs. "As I'll ever be." * Rei nods. She's trying not to look at Lazar, but it's tough, considering he's FSKING HUGE. ... Maria? Please check door for traps so no trip and fall on face like last time charged through door to attack bat guy. Sure. * Maria checks the door over for all things unpleasant. [Maria finds something unpleasant: Someone deposited their gum near the bottom.] (Ewww.) (*snerk* Worst evil corporation ever.) ( But no traps? ) (What flavor?) [No visibal traps. And it's a red color, but to find out what flavor you'll have to try it.] (grape... the most evil flavor ever) (Red... Probably watermelon.) ( Whatchu talkin' 'bout? Grape is *good*. Tastes nothing like grapes, but... ) No traps. ( Is it locked?) (Or maybe cherry?) [Doesn't seem to be locked.] Doesn't seem locked, either. Too easy? You be the judge. Most people would probably be deterred by a squad of guards with assault rifles. But we're not most people. Yeeeah. Shall I? We're not getting anywhere. Lazar, open the door? * Maria squirms. "Uh, guess we're not." * Lazar opens the door! And takes a step in to look around. [Inside is a lab! Behind a glass screen in the room is Blight who now snarls in your direction. Also in the room are several busy wimpy non-important scientists and two head scientists, a man and a woman (more)] [The man looks normal enough. Short hair, glasses, non descript. The woman has four pincer-like arms coming from her back.] (Doc Ocra!) (Doctor Octopus II) (Orca's a whale >.>) ( Doc Octopussy! ) (...) (Gah.) (Yeeeeup.) ( Just to get the James Bond refs going. ) (the original Doc Ock was an older man) [That's all I got. But they are looking at you as though they expected you. Wonder why?] (Gosh, I don't know!) * Lazar takes a few steps in, to make way for the others. "No suppose you listen if I say to freeze, put hands up?" (Maybe the alarm tipped them off.) Hi. We're with animal control. We've recieved some complaints about your dog. * Rei peeks around Lazar and says, quietly, "This is the part where they gloat about how they expected us. After that, they'll tell us that Tokyo is doomed, or maybe a select part, and then they'll test their latest creation on us, in order to stall us while they set up the Spirit Bomb." Man: "Unlikely." Woman: "Nice summary. Except for one problem. The bomb is ready." Aww, I knew I missed something. Well, let's get with the gloating. Time's a-waistin'. Man: "Good idea." Yeah. We gotta kick your ass and be home in time for dinner. Okay. So then this is where we kick their butts in an attempt to keep the bomb from being used on whatever. [Blight smashes through the glass wall and lets out a screeching howl.] (roll init!) (Classic Cinematic battle start!) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (d6+6) and gets 11. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (d6+8) and gets 12. * Chie raises her sword into a ready position. "I've been waiting for this." d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (d6+7) and gets 13. d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (d6+8) and gets 10. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d6+7) and gets 13. (Chie-Lazar X-slash!) Somebody needs breath mints. * Maria eyes the scientists. Good, something soft to kick around. [Order: Blight, Chie, Lazar, Chomei, Doc. Ock, Man, Rei, Maria, Asanjya] [Blight is a blur as it darts for you. It strikes at the least prepared one of you, which unfortunately is Asanjya. It moves in a circle and is back at near the enemy scientists before Asanjya even notices the gaping wound she not has in her stomach. She falls to the ground in shock.] [Chie's turn!] Asanjya! Fuck! Rei, heal her! Ah shit! * Chie whispers and levels her sword, now glowing bluish-white, at Blight, before charging at him. "Eidolon Blade!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 7. [Chie strikes, but Blight zips to the side and avoids.] [Lazar's turn!] Augh! Shit! * Lazar charges to where Blight zipped, and tries to hack at it. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 5. [Lazar hacks, and though Blight's hide feels as thick as a tree trunk, Lazar actually does get penetration this time, and takes a small chunk out of the demon.] [Chomei's turn!] ( But Lazar can chop through a tree trunk easy! ^_~ ) ( Not when he's a normal person he can't :P ) ( Excellent point. ) * Chomei eyes Blight, then decides the scientists would be better to deal with. He fires a shot at the male one's legs. "Don't go anywhere." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 6. [Chomei hits his leg, and he falls to one knee.] [Dr. Ock's turn!] [Dr. Ock goes after Chie, lashing out with her pincers. (Chie, unarmed def (strikes))] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 9. [One of the pincers clamps around Chie's wrist. Out of the center of the "palm" comes a needle, which penetrates Chie's skin. (body roll, +1)] 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6+1) and gets 7. [Chie feels light-headed and happy!] * Chie giggles. [The man's turn.] [The man grins at Chomei from his position on the floor. "Who says I have to?" An eye sprouts in the center of his forehead, followed by one on his hand, followed by a whole lot more until his body is practically covered with them. (everyone except Chie, soul roll!)] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 8. (And Dicey's back WITH A VENGENCE!) (And that's no lie.) * Chie sees the guy and giggles again. "Wooooow... you must spend a *ton* at the optometrist." She grins goofily. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6) and gets 5. [Everyone except Maria suddenly feels like they're in a house of mirrors; it's impossible to distinguish which image is real amongst all the fake ones.] ( +4 to everyone who doesn't have blindfighting ) ( And Chie's at a +2, by the way ) [Rei's turn!] * Maria blinks. "Ew! Eyes!" ( Poke him in the eye...s. ) * Rei looks around. "Uh... what's going on? Guys? Do you all see a zillion and one people, too?" She focuses on one of the eye-covered scientists and makes an underhand throwing motion at him. I see pretty colors! Wow, me too! ... Right. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6+1) and gets 7. Eh? I see... normal things. Right, eyeguy goin' down. * Chie has, scarily, decided to raise her voice an octave. It now sounds high and squeaky as opposed to her normal, more moderate tone of voice. (I see dead people) ... this fucked up. (No, *I'm* the one who sees the dead people.) [Whatever Rei just tried, it doesn't seem to have worked.] [Maria's turn!] Yes, it is. * Maria leaps at EyeGuy, aiming a kick at his forehead! ( called shot ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 6. [Maria kicks him in the head and he falls on his back, but he's still conscious.] [Blight's turn!] [Blight hops back, then darts at Lazar. (unarmed def, Lazar)] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 6. [Blight apparently goes through Lazar, taking several chuncks out of him as he goes.] ( Mmm. Yummy Yummy flare. ) [Chie's turn! She's grabbed and loopy.] [But REALLY happy.] * Chie giggles at Doc Ock. "You're so friendly! But I wanna go now!" She moves in a bit closer and hacks at the tentacle holding her other wrist. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 2. [Chie hacks the tip of the tentacle off, and the woman seethes.] [Lazar's turn!] * Lazar tries to figure out which of the seven Blights hacked at him, then tries to hack back. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 8. [Lazar picks the wrong one, sadly.] [Chomei's turn!] * Chomei stumbles back, then aims at one of the Mr. Drheads that he thinks is the right one. "Who says I need to see what I hit." A gust of wind picks up around him as he fires a pure white arrow at the Mr. Drhead's, um.... head. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 7. ( His eye, you fool! His eye! ) (Eye, head. Sure. His eye.) [Chomei sticks an arrow through one of the eyes in his head, and he stops moving. The optical effect goes away.] [Dr. Ock's turn!] Nice. ... that better. [The Doc tries to grab Chie with another pincer! (unarmed, stric... actually, it would probably be grabs, wouldn't it?)] Yay, Chomei! 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "A WINNER IS YOU!" [Chie accidently cuts off that pincer, too.] * Chie giggles. "Ooooops! Soooooooooooooo~rry!" [Rei's turn!] * Chomei shakes his head and smiles. "I knew that'd come in handy sometime." ... is like drunken boxer I met once. Only more giggles. And less boxing. * Rei wobbles, reorienting herself, and then focuses on Asanjya. "Oooh, shit." She kneels, pushing her onto her back and trying to heal her to the point where she's stable. [Maria's turn!] * Maria takes the fight to Doc Oc, kicking for her head, too! 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 3. [Ock, however, is able to defend her head, and blocks Maria's attack.] [Blight's turn!] (Boot to the head! In the *face*.) ( Boot to the head?) [Blight decides to chose a new target, and this time zips over towards Chomei. Unarmed (strikes), Chomei!] 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-1) and gets 8. [Chomei gets a nasty wound in his chest, and blood gushes out like in one of those old samurai films.] [Chie's turn! Still feelin' happy!] (I'm still concious or not?) ( Yes. Just... Ow. ) * Chomei winces, staggars back, and holds his chest. ( Medic! Hold on a sec! Makoto bought me a nurse outfit, and it's in this backpack somewhere... ... ) ( Chieeeeeee..... ) Bad doggie! No more nice Chieko! * Chie whispers, her sword starts glowing, and she takes a swing at blight. "Eiiiiiiiiiiiiidolon Blade! Yeah!" 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 1, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I hate these guys. Give 'em one for me." * Maria has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) (... Yikes.) ( Dicey likes you tonight. ) (Holy shit. I really *do* need to start getting high before battles. ;p) ( Yay for Chie!) (HOLY SHIT!) ( Chie's Kirby-elemental. >_> ) (You are the antiShingo!) [Chie happily slashes into Blight, taking a huge chunk out of him/it.] * Maria blinks in astonishment. * Chomei is too busy gasping for air after that hit. * Chie waves her sword triumphantly. "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Go me!" [Lazar's turn!] * Rei looks up from her healing and blinks, then cheers. "Goooooo, Chie! Gimme a C! Gimme an H! Gimme an I! Gimme an E! What does that spell?" * Chie powerposes. "Chie! That's me!" ^_^_v * Lazar is about to shout something encouraging, then pauses, frowns, and charges at Blight with another overhand swing. "Over here, stupid metal dog! Pay attention to big stone guy!" 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 6. ( Chie's acting like Rei >.> ) Yeah, it is! Now beat up that nasty demon while I make sure Asanjya doesn't die! Wow. Impressive, Chie. (No, I think she's *worse* than Rei.) ( You're the one who goffy-fied her. ) (That's what happens when you get high, Brett.) [Lazar hacks off a considerably smaller chunk of Blight.] (Unless you're an angry stoner.) You got it, my bestsest-best friend in the whooooooooole wide world! * Chie flings her arms wide when she says "whole." [Chomei's turn!] ( I was gonna crit fail... then I got high! o/~ ) * Maria rubs her face. "I can't believe this." I can... (...dear god, she's acting like Shinrethryn. ^^; Or possibly Lurika.) * Chomei takes aim at Dr. Ock and fires an energy bolt at her. ( Or Naoki. ) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-3) and gets 5. * Maria looks at Doc Oc. "Can you believe this? She gets high and becomes invincible? I've only seen that stuff wreck lives, not save 'em." (That. Is an awesome line.) (YES!) (Haha!) (I so need to do the quotefiles.) ( ^_^_v ) [Doc is about to answer Maria when she gets hit by Chomei. Instead she turns towards him and lashes out with a pincer.] ( Unarmed def (strikes) ) * Maria sighs. "Nevermind, you're busy." 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6+1) and gets 9. [Chomei's wrist gets snatched, and the center of the pincer opens up. But what comes out isn't a needle this time. It's more like a drill. Needless to say, what happens next is very painful] ( ... that hurts to just read. ) [Rei's turn!] (...oww.) * Chomei yells out at Dr. Okto... A string of words that I will *not* repeat in this channel. <.< (Keep it PG-13!) [It's hard to hear what Chomei says anyhow over the Zzzzzznnnnn! Sound.] Hey! * Chie tilts her head and blinks a few times. "That doesn't sound gooooood..." [Suuuuuuureeee it does, Chie.... No go back to being a good drugged up hippie.] * Lazar doesn't notice. He's concentrating on getting/keeping Blight's attention. That's very not good! * Maria points at Doc Oc. "She's being mean to your boyfriend, Chie!" ( Shh! I need her help against Blight! ;_; ) * Rei scrambles to her feet. "That mind-messing stuff, though, that's definitely what I do. You're not allowed." A bright sphere of light appears between her hands. "Too bad it's backfiring! Disco Nova!" She spreads her hands apart, and it zips to the evil doctor. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 7. [No she doesn't.] [Maria's turn!] (No love today.) * Maria leaps at Doc Oc, kicking for her face! 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-4) and gets 3. (In the face!) (It's because you arn't on drugs.) [Maria kicks the good doctor in the face.] (I know. >_< I should zap myself.) [Blight's turn!] [Blight zeros in on Chie and crouches. A compartment on its back opens and- can ya believe it? - it fires a miniature missile at her.] ( Ranged def, Chie! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 5. (Chie's... insane.) (... Oh my fskin' god.) (That's from Saga Frontier...) (*cracks up again*) (She's a juicer.) (Or at least that's where I remember it.) (Special Announcement: Despite what this log may lead you to believe, drugs really do ruin lives. They are bad. Okay?) [Chie barely dodges the missile, which flies back and explodes, destroying some Expensive Looking Machinery (tm)] ( MecMissile attack, IIRC. ) Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ( Session Title: Winners *DO* Do Drugs! ) [Chie's turn!] (I thought that was the one that launched four minimissiles) ( RDM is right. Chie, make 3 more ranged defs :P ) (She'd just crit on half of them and send them flying back) * Chie skips over to where Doc Ock is holding Chomei. "Don't worry, Chomei, I'll save you! I'm Super Chie, defender of Tokyo!" * Chie swings at the tentacle holding him, though closer to Doc Ock. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 4. [Chie cuts that one off too. Eww.] * Maria mutters. "This is perfect. Absolutely priceless." [Lazar's turn!] * Lazar tries ANOTHER overhand strike, aimed at the general area where the armor opened up for the missile launcher. (NOT a called shot) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 3. [Lazar hits the general area, but not the missile launcher itself.] [Chomei's turn!] * Chomei pulls back from the lady. He draws the string on Rownal, and dust creates a stone arrow. He fires it at the lady, probably causing lots of property damage in the process. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-3) and gets 9, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "I hate being random." ( ... ) (... You fucking suck.) ( You're too sober, Cho. That and the lameness is a bad mix. ) ( Logical, though, since he just got his wrist drilled through ) (No kidding. >_<) (That it is.) d4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d4) and gets 4. ( Maria, gimme a ranged def roll! ) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-3) and gets 5. Maria manages to avoid both the arrow as it goes buy and the big gap that opens up in the floor, following it.] [Doc Ock's turn!] Gyah! * Rei peers. "Guess that's one way to get to the top sekrit lab floor." * Chomei holds his wrist and winces. "I can't fight like this..." [The doctor pulls out a strange device that looks like a garage door opener and jabs a button. "I told you it was too late!"] [Rei's turn!] Shit! Button! Is it broken? (Good use of your turn!) Shit? Shit! ( Is it... big... and red? ) * Rei creates another ball of light. "Bad button! Disco Nova!" She fires it at the lady. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 2. (Wyoming just blew up!) (Eh, Rei wouldn't care about Wyoming.) [Rei hits the woman square on, and she falls over dead.] [Maria's turn!] (Uh, I didn't want to kill her, but okay. @_@;) ( Well, you did :P ) (Rei killed someone with a disco ball. @_@) * Maria runs over to the button. Don't suppose there's an 'abort' switch? ( I'm amazed Rei even has an attack capable of killing someone. ) [Of course not! Evil masterminds don't build abort switches.] (That attack's power is on par with most of Cho's arrows, I think.) * Maria scowls. Is the buttom marked? ( I mean, it isn't stun damage or something? ) [Nope!] [And whilst Maria's examining it, Blight's turn!] Shit. Push it again! Push it again! (...) [Blight gets all Shiny. It dashes at Chie, as well!] * Chie waves her arms happily. (*nearly dies*) ( Unarmed def, Chie! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 9. [Chie's luck ran out! She gets a big stomach wound. Squelck!] [Chie's turn!] Uhm... I think Blight needs to die quicker now than before. Chie! G-guh... eww. I'm all messy... Bad! Bad bad bad! * Chie swings at Blight. "Eidolon Blade!" 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 4. (When's that happy medicine supposed to wear off?) [Chie takes another chunck out of Blight.] [Lazar's turn!] ( After some goth poetry. ) * Arsenal flees for the night * Arsenal has quit IRC (Quit: Ah, technology. The most perverse of the mystic arts. ) * Lazar hacks at Blight again. "Fall down already! And stop attacking little ones and concentrate on big stone guy what been knocking you around entire battle!" [A doctor grabs the cache of weapons and runs!] ( What cache of weapons? >_> ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 5. (Arsenal, of course.) ( Made ) ( ... ah. heh heh ) (...) (Hehehe.) (*nearly dies*) [Lazar hacks into the demon summore. It's not looking too good now.] [Chomei's turn!] * Chomei stands back and nurses his hand/chest. No use in shooting, he'll just miss anyhow. (Total Defense.) [Rei's turn!] * Rei scrambles to Maria and grabs the control. She's trying very, very hard to ignore the fact that the lady might be dead. "Lemme see that." She pries open the back and starts looking for a way to turn it into an off switch. [Maria's turn!] * Maria frowns and stands. She doesn't have her demon-fighting weapons with her, but she'll try to keep Blight off of Rei if it comes her way. (holding action) [Blight doesn't come towards Maria. It just fires a missile at here (ranged def!)] 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (2d6-3) and gets 2. [Maria avoids the missilin' action for today.] [Chie's turn!] (It's the Michilin man!) (There's a reason they call them MISSiles. :P) ( SaGa missiles had horrible hitrates, too. ) (Yeah.) (Espically the Bazookas.) ( Lasers where were it was -at-. ) (EXCEPT for the Hyporion.) (I wonder where my copy of that went anyway...I only got two of the endings.) (Screw lasers. Plural Slash.) * Chie stands still for a second, then blinks. "Ohh... ohh..." (DSC) (Combos with itself. 5 mechs + badass swords = DEATH.) *Fuck*, that hurts. Haven't we killed this thing yet? * Chie swings at Blight. "Eidolon Blade!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 0. No! Get to the hacking! [Chie cuts Blight in the head. It roars as bits of glowly light stream out of its body.] ( Okay! *runs over to BOX* ) (...) [Then boom! It explodes! You're all out cold. Everyone roll a d100!] d100 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (d100) and gets 78. d100 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (d100) and gets 24. d100 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (d100) and gets 83. d100 d100 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Maria (d100) and gets 68. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (d100) and gets 57. (Hope low is good, Rei!) (Me too!) ( Else Chie still has the crazy luck. ) [Chie is the first one to wake up. She's in a whole lot of pain, and feels funny, probably 'cause she hasn't worked out all that stuff from her system yet. The lab is a shambles, and bits of Blight are lying all over.] (Nope. Each number represents a different dimension that the PC was teleported to) * Chie groans. "Ohhhhhhhhhh..." What the hell was I doing? * Chie pushes herself upright, nearly doubling over as she clutches her stomach. "God..." Guys? [No answer yet. They must all be out cold. Or dead.] [Or both!] * Chie crawls over to Chomei. "Chomei?" She shakes him gently. [Chomei does not yet wake up!] * Chomei is out cold! * Chie checks to make sure he's at least still breathing. ( Oh, sure, check on him first! Just because he's your lame little love monkey! ) (I'm also fskin' BLEEDING.) [He is. Albeit barely.] (You're last, you know. ;p) [Meanwhile, Chie hears moaning from the other side of the room.] * Chie sighs and starts to head over to Rei... then stops when she hears the moaning. (Unless it *is* Rei who's doing the moaning. ^^;) ... oy. * Chie heads towards the moaning, regardless. "Laz?" [Odd, it doesn't sound like Laz. and when Chie turns her head, she sees why. It's not Lazar, it's her.] (... YES. GOD YES.) What. The. Hell. (Now you know how I feel! *shakes fist*) * Chie looks down at herself. (... Oh shit.) * Lazar is checking on Asanjya, who's awake, but in a whole mess of pain. "Stupid metal dog... who builds self-destruct function anymore?" * Chie looks down at the body she's currently inhabiting? Um. You... might wanna take a look at yourself. [Chie sees Asanjya.] ... wait. Why in hell I breathing? And why my voice no sound like my voice? (Hehehe.) (Haaahahahaha.) (... Rei's probably got Chomei's body.) (SHUT UP.) (HAHAHA!) * Lazar pauses for a moment... then looks down at his chest. (SHUT UP. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT.) (Ara ara) ( ... who else could take the Lameness of being Chomei, though? ) [Lazar has one heck of a chest.] ... well, that new. ( He got Maria's body. HA. ) (True, she does have the biggest boobies.) * Lazar squeezes, just to be sure. * Chie crawls over to whoever it is that's in her body. Hey! Hey, you! Wake up! [Actually, it's smaller than his own. :P] [Chie IS awake!] [And fondling herself.] (Smack him! Er, her!) (Oh. THat confused me.) (Ignore the wake up part, then.) ... I have breasts. That... different. Stop groping me, me! [Meanwhile, everyone else starts to wake up.] * Maria rolls over and tries to go back to sleep. * Chie grabs her body by the shoulders and shakes it. "Out! Out out out now!" * Rei opens her eyes, groggily, then sits up. A little too fast. "Ow! Shit! Ow ow ow!" I'm Chie! Who are you? ... no, you Asanjya. I Lazar... except now have boobs. ( And for the sake of the others, Maria is lame, Chomei's got boobs, and Rei is a rock. Which leaves Asanjya to have a tail. ) *Look* at yourself. (... Aww, no. I'm Lazar. I was afraid of that.) (REI SMASH.) * Chie fishes around in Chie's bag and pulls out a mirror, then hands it to Lazar-Chie. ( Well, Rei having access to Rownal would be ... bad. ) * Lazar looks in the mirror. "... well this no good. You Chie now, Asanyja?" * Rei watches what's going on, then scrambles to her feet. Er, his feet. And looks down at her- himself. There's a very, very long pause, and in perfect Japanese, Lazar's voice comes out. "I hate my life." This is followed by a meep and rock on rock as he covers his mouth. Yes! I'm Chie, and... ohhh, shit. * Lazar looks back at himself. "... who in my body?" * Chie turns around slowly. "Guys?" The last person who'd ever fucking wanna be there, that's who! Rei? ( Eh, I think Dracula would hate it more than Rei. ) ... Dracula? * Rei sits with a thud and sulks. "I need a hug." ( OUT OF HEAD, BRETT! ) ( Me imagines that line with Lazar's voice. :P ) (Exactly. ^_^) * Maria would try to sleep, except for the pain in her wrist. "Ow. Ow. Shit, what happen..." She eyes her wrist, then rubs it. It's not the kind of wrist that's been honed for the use of hiting people. (...) ( It's the kind of wrist that's been honed for slap fighting the one- eyed champ... ) * Rei keeps sitting. He thinks for a moment, then tries to float. * Maria looks around. "Uh?" (*kills Lazar*) (...) You... aren't who you look like. Are you? (Jesse, if you weren't in Chie's body, I'd hurt you or something.) (Oh, whoops, I just killed myself, didn't I? Oh, well.) * Lazar stumbles over to Reizar and peers down at him/her. "... well, at least it be harder for anyone to kidnap you now, what with huge heavy body." (Does Chie have an accent?) Who, me? I dunno. I'm someone in pain. Didn't Cho have this injury? Isn't it funny I should think of that? I'm not in Chomei's body, am I? ( She does now >.> ) ( Reizar.. is she in a band? ) * Rei comments, bitterly, "On the bright side, I guess I don't have to get used to not sleeping, huh?" He glares at Chie's body. "Yeah, sure, Lazar." Gods, I sound *weird* with a Hungarian accent. ( ... dude, Makoto's gonna cry. ) ( And you're all awake, 'cept Rei. ) (Why'd Makoto have to miss out on this?) Chomei? (Even numbers?) (Because anyone who got Makoto would shapechange back into themselves.) * Chomei gets up and rubs his head... "Ow, did any-.. What the hell?" * Chomei is a her? [Chomei is a her, and what a her he is.] ( Dammit, Chomei, your boobs are bigger than mine! Both of me's!) * Rei rubs at his head. "Shit, I can't even... feel..." His eyes widen. "God *damn* it. How the hell am I gonna explain this to Makoto?" * Chomei blinks, then blinks again. He looks down. [Chomei can't see his feet. His chest is in the way.] * Chomei looks over at everyone else. "Is it me or..." It no just you. It's all of us. I'm so screwed. Chomei, you'd better not be clumsy as well as lame. * Chie looks over at Rei's unconscious body. "Guess that must be Asanjya." ... no offense, Chie, but this suck. * Maria tries to get up. * Rei climbs to his feet, looking for any data that might have survived the explosion. [Nope!] * Chomei eyes Maria. "I'm *not* clumsy." * Rei lets out a little golem scream of frustration and puts his fist through a desk. Then blinks. "Oops." * Chomei tries to summon Rownal. And probably doesn't succeed. [No he doesn't.] Not anymore you're not. Great. Juuuuust great. Watch strength, little big one. Okay, lamer, here's the deal. * Chie peeks in the pocket that Asanjya usually carries Xaphan in, just to see if he's okay. * Lazar mutters. "How I going to smash when barely five feet tall?" * Chomei gets up. "Yeah?" I'd have a headache, only I can't fucking *have* a headache! [Xaphan seems ok.] * Chie lets out a sigh of relief, for some reason, then looks over at herself. "Five feet exactly, Laz." First off, move as slow as you possibly can at all times. ... this going to be issue. *experimentally punches a wall* Ow! * Chie winces. "Hey, watch it!" I assume that's you in my body, right Maria? * Rei grumbles, "You think that's bad, should try it in my body." She eyes Chomei and Maria. Yes. Yes it is. That's *my* body, and until I get it back, you're gonna take really good care of it! * Chomei holds his head. "I think that's how we *all* feel." ... so no more breaking down doors. Damn. No breaking down doors. I'm prolly going to have to teach you how to dress yourself. I'm definitely going to have to teach you how to masage your own back. Chie, can you do me a favor? Check the vitals of all the unconscious, possibly dead people here. And you're going to have to learn how to at least unsummon Rownal. People'd give you strange looks if you don't. Let's see if anyone's still alive. I can't. * Chie sighs. "You got it, Rei." * Chie crawls over to Rei's body, first, just to make sure Asanjya's okay. What, you use it for everyday stuff? ... you know, normally I be very happy to be alive again. I get to eat, breathe, sleep... no feel even close to right, though. No, but it's *always* with you. [Rei's body seems to be in better condition than most of yours.] * Chie stops. "Wait. Rownal's with you, Maria? It didn't transfer with Chomei's soul?" I don't know how the hell it's going to work. I dunno. Well, Asanjya seems okay. * Maria thinks about having a bow in her hand. * Rei peers at 'Chomei'. "So you're Maria?" * Chie looks around for any other bodies. [Chie finds the two dead doctors. The others must have hightailed it out of there.] Yeah, I am. Does being in his body make me lame? I hope not. And can you do something about this wrist? This is really confusing. Does that mean I've still got my powers, or do I have Asanjya's now? Yeah, I was gonna say, "Don't let the lameness happen to you." Well, I no super strong no more. But that was body, no soul. ...oh, shit! Now whatsisface is gonna be trying to kill me! Yeah, but you look great! * Rei lumbers over to Chie-turned-Asanjya and pokes her on the shoulder. Pokepoke. ... true. *pauses* But I so small. * Chomei eyes Maria. "Trust me, if you can use Rownal... You'll kick his ass." Never bothered me. * Chie looks *up* at Rei. "Yeah?" * Lazar blinks, and turns around. "Yes, MeRei? What'd you find out? * Chomei looks back at Rei. Asanjya's okay, the other two are dead. Everyone else must've escaped. Yeah, that's a big 'If', idiot. I'm trained in Kung Fu, not archery! * Chomei folds his arms. "Then you'll have to learn." * Chomei folds her arms? And what the HELL is that thing brushing up against my leg? (Your arms stick out a lot more than they used to, depending on where you folded them.) * Chomei blinks... * Chie looks at her boyfriend's body, then closes her eyes and snorts. "Ohh dear..." * Rei thinks about that for a moment. "Okay." He picks up 'Rei', pulls the keys from her pocket, and tosses them to 'Asanjya'. "Make sure my bike gets home." And he starts walking out. ... hey! Where going with my body! Somebody's gonna need to drive mine, too. (To try to get shitfaced and fail miserably.) Oh, god, I wonder what Asanjya told her parents. Are they expecting her back? ( Go fishing. ) Home! And I'm taking me home while I'm at it. It's not like anyone's gonna stop me. * Chomei points at Rownal, which is on the floor. "At least pick up my bow..." ... and you no going to use super strength to help injured people get out of heavily guarded building? ( .. Hum. Could a golem disco at the bottom of a lake? ) * Chie sighs. "Gods, I still hurt like hell, too." Which probably filled with police since we break in to save you, only you no really need saving? * Chomei shrugs. "I bet the same thing happened to them too." * Rei looks at her for a moment. "If you want to come with, just say so." ...shit, the police. And I can't just evade them. That's okay, they'll be looking for Chomei, not you. ... Aw SHIT. No, I no want you come with. I want you wait here so can help other little ones get out. You have smart brain in big body. Use it. Chomei, you're gonna have to get some real clothes on. Won't do to have you strutting around in a thief's getup. Come on, I stashed them on the roof. I'm going to have Dectective McNuts on my tail, aren't I? Chomei, you can stay at my place for a while. Gods only know *what* I'm gonna have to do with Asanjya's family. * Chomei holds his head. "My place is free if anyone needs it. Nobody lives with me." And yeah, you are. Unless he knows what happened and instinctively follows me or something. So... how do I get onto the roof? [Asanjya's mother serves Chie a big helping of newt-eye stew. "Eat up, dearie! It's your favorite!"] (Mmmm. :9) There's stairs. You walk up them. * Rei looks at her blankly for a moment, then lumbers back and sits in front of Lazar-turned-Chie. "And do what? Normally, I'd heal you all and make sure- oh, wall-crawling. It's natural. Just stick your foot on the wall and walk up." And Chie, I'm staying at your place too. I wanna make sure Chomei doesn't try anything funny. * Chomei tries to climb up the wall... "I hope Asanjya can think of something to fix this... Ah, right. ^^; Sure thing, Maria. [Chomei sticks to wall.] (Lobster sticks to magnet.) (Sure.) He wouldn't try anything funny. I'd... well, there isn't much I can do to him, since he's currently you, and I don't want to hurt you. Damn. This is confusing. ( Lobst- Damn you. ) [Yah, Session End]
