[Day: Friday, July 16th. Time: 9:25 p.m.] [You're heading to to the cavern! You're in the chapel right now.] [Session Start!] * Rei is goin' to the chapel and she's gonna get maaaa- no, wait. No she isn't. She does, however, go through the broken down door and down the spiraly staircase! * Chie follows Rei down. Down towards the cavern full of water. Yay. * Chomei goes down. Whoo. [You reach the cavern! Dang yo, there's water.] * Rei floats along the cavern towards the rushing water, flashlight in hand. * Chie pulls out her flashlight and shines it on her surroundings, trying to get a better look. * Chomei doesn't get a flashlight, yo. Already got two out. * Rei SHINES IT IN CHOMEI'S FACE! XD No, wait. That's later. [There's a gorge and water! Just like you left it, yep. And a narrow pass across.] Well, here we go. * Chie takes a step onto the pass. ( Hearing checks! ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 4. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 5. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "Fight! For everlasting love and peace!" (Ahahaha!) (Rei hears like Katie!) (Go her!) [Chomei hears the waterfall. Chie hears something behind you jump out of the waterfall. Rei hears a fishman behind you jump out of the waterfall.] [Rei gets an action * Chie whirls around. * Chomei sees Chie turn around and, uh, turns around too? * Rei spins, shining her light right at where the fishman's face likely is. "FISH DUDE!" She holds up her free hand, pointer finger first, and an inky point of dark appears at it before she fires it at him and it explodes. "Now you don't!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 4. ( The fishman appears blinded! OMG! Chie then Chomei, go! ) (Hey, I'm a non com.) (Or something.) * Chie draws her sword and swings at the fish-man. Mmm, sashimi. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 3. (IT's GOOD FOR YOU.) [Chie slices into it. Chomei!] * Chomei shifts Rownal into a scythe and swings at it too! :9 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 9. (AND THEN I COOK THE FISH MAN AND WE EET HIM.) [Chomei misses! The fishman spits water, but also misses. Rei!] (EET HIM.) * Rei keeps her light on the fishman so people can, y'know, see. ... That's about it. [Chie!] * Chie slashes at him again! 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 5. [It dies.] * Chie looks around for more of them. "Think that's the only one?" Possibly. Dunno, but I don't think you should walk across that narrow thingamajig when you can fly. ( *looks up* EET HIM! ) ( Fishman make good sushi. ) Good point. [The pass seems to get narrower up ahead.] Should we get moving then? Yep. * Chie looks at Chomei. ( CARRY ME MORON.) * Chomei nods and picks up Chie. "Ready?" (>_<) * Chie grins and nods. I really, really gotta learn how to fly. Not that this isn't fun, but... I can teach you! You just need to die and be put in a body with a tail. But not just any body with a tail. A body with a tail that can FLY. * Chomei flies down the path. He smirks at Chie. "You can learn how to fly? Wish I coulda done it that way." * Rei skims along after the pair. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 9. Hey, there's gotta be some way... * Chie looks down. And sees water. "Eeep." She clutches Chomei more tightly. Should not have looked, should not have looked, please don't drop me... * Chomei keeps going. Don't get distracted by person in arms, gotta make sure not to run into stuff... * Rei has a flashlight! It's good for lighting things. Like flashes. [Awareness checks!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 8. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 8. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 6. [Chie and Rei hear squeaking!] Uh, I think that's mice or rats or something... Oh shit, what's that? Chomei, move faster! But don't drop me! * Rei shines her light around as she flies. Got it. * Chomei goes faster! Maybe they're rabid gerbils! ... Right. [The gorge ends and the ground widens. But only briefly! because there's an underground lake that spreads from wall to wall, and the only way across is by moving platforms.] Oooh. * Rei peers at the platforms. How do they move? (They float with no obvious mechanism. Duh.) (Jawsome.) * Chie looks at the platforms. "Okay, now that's weird..." Yeeeah. I want this in my basement! If I had a basement. You would. I'll get one, then put it in! I was gonna say. It'd be so cool! Okay, but don't expect me to sleep over any time soon. You don't need to sleep in the basement. Jumping across platforms to go to the bathroom is a bad idea. And instead of water, I'd have a whole bit of jelly doughnuts! [Some move side to side, some move forward and back, some go down into the lake and come back up.] (And some will shake and fall after you stand on them for two seconds.) What flavor jelly? Pineapple! Also, I vote we skip the two-point-five-dee action thing and fly across. * Chie ponders that for a second. "No offense, Rei, but ewww. Can't you do raspberry?" Maybe we should concentrate on going on instead of doughnut flavors? No way. Gotta punish properly for falling in the pit of doughnuts. Point. All in favor of this motion, say aye! Flying or donuts? Yes! Aye! Aye! ... Right. _ Motion passed, two to one! * Rei flies across. Keep moving, Chomei! * Chomei flies across! [You fly across! As you do so, the light from your flashlights wakes up a bunch of bats, who squeak and fly around like crazy. Body rolls for Chomei and Rei!] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 8. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 6. [Chomei manages to keep flight, but Rei is sent tumbling downwards. Luckily she lands on a platform that rises from the water just in time. Unluckily her leg hangs over and dips in the lake. And BURNS.] * Rei screams and jerks her leg out of the water. (Stupid burning water.) Ow. OW. Ow ow ow ow ow. Rei? What happened? It's the FUCKING WATER AGAIN. Shit, again? YES. Can you move? What's goin- aw crap. My leg hurts! I think I can fly. * Rei tries to do so, hovering up off the platform. "Okay, okay." ( See, this is why I'm afraid of water. ) Okay! Okay? We'll get that looked at as soon as we're on solid ground. Okay! I'm flying! I'm - ow - okay! Okay. Keep moving! ( Chomei, hearing check! ) * Chomei keeps moving. A bit closer to the water this time, so as not to disturb more bats. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 8. [Ranged def +2] (Does Chie get a hearing check too?) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6) and gets 10. ( Nope. She can't defend from her position ^^; ) (No, but she CAN tell me if something's coming. :P) [A fishman rears its head out of the water and spits some of the water at Chomei. It strikes his back and burns.] ( Not fast enough for him to react. Same reason I didn't give Rei one. And yes, you do. ) * Rei charges up a bright, white ball of light. Good thing those bats were already awoken by the flashlights. "Disco Nova!" she shouts as she fires it at the fish dood. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 5. (Dood!) () [There's a big sploosh! And a dead fishman floats up shortly after.] (! Rei killed something!) ( ...uh oh. ) (!!) Uh... (She wasn't terribly upset by the one we took out earlier.) (I don't think they count in her head.) (Then they don't count. Huzzah!) [You finally reach land! And slime! There's two slimes waiting there.] * Rei squeaks and stays back. I'll just... I'll... Be going off to fight more bats! Stay here! We'll take care of it. But the bats! Oh come on. They could eat you. * Rei backs away. * Chomei changes Rownal into a happybow. * Chie puts her sword away and uncoils the chain whip. "Time to see how well this works." (I took fishman to mean like the things we fought back in, like, session one. ^^;) (Yup, me too.) (I was picturing a fish with legs. ;p) ( Nah, these are more like fishmen than fishanimals :P ) (I was picturing something out of Saga Frontier.) (Fish are animals! >_<) (In any case, didn't count in her mind any more than a gargoyle. Give her something more recognizable as a person and we'll talk.) * Rei decides to make herself useful and hits the communicator. ~Uh, hey guys? Guys?~ * Chie swings her whip at one of the slimes. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-4) and gets 8, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Some things just aren't meant to be." (...) ( Shoulda done more practicing! =P ) * Chomei draws Rownal back and tries to perforate the other Slime. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-3) and gets 2. ( Chie' gimme a defense roll at +1! ) ~Hello?~ 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6+1) and gets 11. ~Asanjya! Yeah. Uh, don't touch the water. In case you didn't know yet. It sears like burning.~ [Chie swings the whip! Not only does it go over the slime but it comes back and hits her in the shoulder.] ~Hm. Good info. Thanks.~ [Meanwhile, Chomei hits a slime. It divides! There's now three slimes.] Ow! Shit! ~Sure thing. GAH MORE SLIMES!~ I really should have practiced more. Awww, crap. Go for smashing, not slicing! * Chie takes another swing and tries to crush the slimes with the spiked ball at the end of the whip and *not* accidentally smack herself this time. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-4) and gets 2. [Chie hits a slime squarely. It divides! There are now four slimes.] ... I thought it wasn't supposed to divide if you crushed it? What the fuck? So did I. So, let's go back and play with the bats and burning water! Or how about we just walk past and ignore them? You can't do that! Why not? Why not? They'll latch onto you and EXPLODE! Or suck your brains! ...explode? * Rei flails! ... Right. YES! EXPLODING SLIMES! Why aren't they exploding? But they could LATER! I think Jell-O might be more dangerous. Especially the lime kind. Don't even go there, Chomei. Don't *even*. * Chie eyes the slimes. Are they even moving? * Rei stays far, far away. Maybe you can, uh... freeze them. Yeah! Freeze them! [The slimes aren't "moving", but they are... um.... squishing? Whatever slimes do.] Then we can sneak past! * Chie contemplates poking one with her foot, but decides against it. (They might EXPLODE.) (So I'll end up with something all over my clothes. That's about normal, really. ;p) (Something corrosive over your clothes? Still normal.) I don't think I really should put that much effort into... freezing these. * Rei chews on her lip and peers at the slimes. [Rei can swear they're focused on her.] They don't really seem all that interested in doing anything. * Rei whimpers and scampers back. Aside from sitting there and... glooping. They're LOOKING AT ME. And doing Slime th- They don't even have EYES. YES THEY DO AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT ME. How can they be looking at you? * Chomei hits his forehead. Like they're doing! * Chie looks around for a large rock or something. Can't you just fly over them, Rei? They might jump and GET ME. I don't think they *can* jump. What would they jump *with*? I don't know! Do I look like a slime to you? No! [Chomei sees a rock] (Yay for Chomei seeing what I'm looking for! ^_~) (I see a rock and yet Chie was looking for one. That's something.) You could try that Chie. * Chomei points at the rock. Aha! So that's where the rocks were hiding. ... Yeah. * Chie walks over to the rock, picks it up, walks over to one of the slimes, and drops the rock on top of it. * Chie probably does this with a slight bit of difficulty, but hey. * Arsenal has joined #besm oi (Arsenal. Game.) (Unless you want the slimes to start talking. ;p) (Oh great, the slime just spoke.) (AAAAAAH!) (Now see what you did? ^_~) [The slime says "Oi."] * Rei screams. [And is squished by a rock. It divides. Now there's five of them.] * Chie eyes the slime. "Stop saying 'oi' and squish... dammit." * Rei backs away and nearly falls out of the tunnel. Actually, she does, but she can fly and she's back in. Okay. Crushing them is obviously not working, and we're not going to get Rei past them as long as they're here. Chomei, do it. * Chomei shrugs and takes the rock, scraping the slime with it and shoving it into the water. * Rei stays way the hell out of Chomei's way. [The slime falls in the water and the water bubbles. Multiple slimes begin spitting out of it onto the edge of the land.] * Chie looks around for another rock so that she can... uh. No, wait. Bad idea. ... Dude, that is fuckin' stupid. What. The. Fuck. Oh my god oh my god we're gonna DIE! (... you are. RUN.) Okay, is there anything we can do that's not gonna make this situation *worse*? ( You need anti-slime! ) * Chie uncorks one of the vials of holy water she got waaaaaaay back at Moe's and pours some on the nearest slime. [The slime absorbs it and becomes a holyslime.] (... Cool.) * Rei backs way away from the slimes. Way. Away. "Time. Gotta... get..." She swallows, and the air around her heats up as she holds one hand above the other, a sphere of swirling flame between them. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Chomei, get back! * Chomei gets out of the way! * Chie runs! (Disco Inferno!) (what is it with GMs and nearly invincible slimes?) (Oooh yeah.) * Rei throws it forward, heat and flames streaking behind the fireball before it lands and explodes just as a smaller fire field springs to life around herself. "Disco Inferno!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 5. (You could say it's overkill, but these are SLIMES.) (...and here I was just making a joke.) (XD) [The slimes burn!] (*laughs hysterically*) * Chie whistles. "Burn, baby, burn." ... Quite. * Rei zips over the burny slimes REALLY FAST and hopefully they'll be so distracted or dead or crispy or something that they won't GET HER. [Nobody gets Rei.] * Chie follows. "Well, Rei, you faced your fears and, uh, annihilated them, pretty much." And that was really damned impressive, by the way. OH MY GOD I WAS GONNA DIE DID YOU SEE THAT THEY WERE GONNA EAT ME FOR SLIME BREAKFAST LET'S GO BEFORE THEY CALL THEIR MATRON AND DESTROY US! * Rei zips right past them! ... * Chie looks at Chomei, shrugs, and keeps running. * Chomei looks at Chie, shrugs, and keeps running. ( That is so perfect. ^^ ) [You pass the slimes and come to a door.] Hey. It's a door. * Chie looks at the door. "It's a very nice door." * Rei runs into the door. "OW!" Watch out for that *wince* door. * Rei falls over backwards and rubs at her nose. * Chie helps Rei up. "You okay?" * Rei is helped up. She limps on one leg, then goes back to floating as she rubs her nose. "Uh huh." Ready to open it? Uh huh. Yup. * Chie opens the door! [Behind the is a small room. The cavern ends halfway through it, becoming a stone floor. There's a stone wall on the far side of the room, too, and a gate. And also, there are people! Four people. They look familiar, too. They're all Men in Black, and all look identical except for their different hair colors.] ... (Here come the Men In Black... Galaxy Defenders...) * Rei peeks in the room. She pauses a moment, then reaches into her backpack and presses a button in a little black box. The Men in Black theme song starts to play. ... Right. "It appears we have guests, brothers." Appropriate theme music. Awesome. Will they dance or something? "Indeed." "Shall we show them around?" "Let's." ( Gimme init rolls ) 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 12. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (d6+6) and gets 7. They *should*. [Chie, Chome, MiBs, Rei.] [Chie's turn!] * Chie draws her sword and heads for the nearest MiB, swinging at him, but going for non-lethal damage. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 2. [Chie hits him with the flat of her blade. There's a solid *thwok* sound, and he looks pretty expressionless. "Oh my. I can't say I appreciate that."] "They have no manners." "Agreed." "Let us educate them." Well, you guys weren't dancing. [Chomei's turn!] Dance! You should be dancing! Please? * Chomei loads up his bow and, backing up, tries to shoot out the leg of the MiB Chie thwapped. Otherwise, I'll have to start singing, and then you'll *really* be sorry. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 5. [The arrow hits the guy in the leg and sticks there.] [The MiBs pull small handaxes from their clothing and attack! Two go for Chie, one for Rei and one for Chomei. You guys all need def rolls.] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 4. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-1) and gets 9. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 10, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Looks like your thread just got cut. Sorry." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 11. (Jesus.) (...) (Very no, and no.) ( @_@ ) [Um... Rei ducks out of the way as one goes for her. Chomei, not so much. Chie takes an axe in the gut and, while she's reeling from the pain, another in the back.] [Rei's turn!] * Chie screams. Because, ow. * Rei just dodges out of the way and tries to fly up and away from the axes. (Hold action.) [The room is too small to fly out of the way.] * Rei backs away or whatever anyway! Eep. She tosses an underhand nothing at the guy attacking her. (Mind twister.) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-1) and gets 6. [Chie's turn] Uh, wow. These guys are totally brainless! Or something. This guy is anyway. No offense, guy. "None taken." Oh, good, you won't mind if I waste them then. Cool. He's kinda nice. Hey, guy, can you stop attacking us? I'll stop if you do. "No." Okay, then. Eidolon Blade! * Chie swings at the nearest MiB. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 2. [Chie cuts into his shoulder, sending chips of him flying everywhere. There's no blood.] [Chomei's turn!] ... Flaky. * Chomei spins around and, changing Rownal into a scythe, goes after the one Chie striked with an arc of fire from the weapon. They're... kind of like golems? 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 5. Hope Laz won't be too mad. [Chomei sets it ablaze!] [And also into pieces.] Uh, if they're golems, I dunno if- okay, I guess fire does hurt them. [The other three remain emotionless. "Brother dear." "They've murdered him." "Let's murder them now."] [They all attack. Def rolls for all!] 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-1) and gets 3. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 6. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 9. [Chomei dodges out of the way, but Chie's still in pain from the earlier attacks, and gains another wound on her thigh. Rei also gets a deep gash along her left arm.] [Rei's turn!] * Rei screams this time. She backs away and moves her hands, a flickering light appearing between them and brightening. "Okay, okay. Just gotta-" She swallows and throws it at the one who just attacked her. "Disco Nova!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 7. (Dangit, I need Cleave. I coulda gotten an extra attack there.) [Boom! Rei makes a hole in the floor!] [Chie's turn!] * Chie turns and swings at the one closest to her. "Eidolon Blade!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 4. (Showed that floor.) [By some unholy miracle, he actually is able to block with his axe.] [Chomei's turn!] * Chomei swings at the one that Chie's fighting! No flashies this time. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 5. [It's down. *thud*] "Oh dear. Now they've killed our other brother." "An eye for an eye, my brother. An eye for an eye.] ( Rei and Chomei, gimme def rolls! ) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-1) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 11. [Ouch indeed. Chomei takes a swing to the gut and passes out. Rei gets one on her foot and almost does herself.] [Rei's turn!] Chomei! (... Ouch. I didn't even know I was hurt that bad.) * Rei wobbles. She's looking pale, and she's looking down, at all the blood. "Oh God. Oh God." She sets one hand on her bloody arm, and it starts to glow. (Heal myself! OW.) (I am totally burning all my EP away.) [Rei recovers!] [Chie's turn!] (Okay. Where are the MiBs relative to Rei and Chomei?) [One's next to Rei, one's next to Chomei.] (Wow, that's descriptive. :P) ( What do you want, a diagram? :P ) * Chie charges at the one near Chomei. "You bastard! Eidolon Blade!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 6. (I know, I know. I'd do the same too. I just think it's funny. ^^;) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 9. [Chie slices a good chunk off the guy, but he's still up!] [And now they attack again! You guys gimme def rolls!] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 4. (Made it!) [Chie parries the attack. What about Rei?] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "I hate being random." (I die.) ( >.> ) (It's not MY FAULT!) (We've been getting 10s, 11s, and 12s all night. ^^;) [The guys slashes vertically, cutting a large gash in Rei's chest. Coincidently, he also cuts her shirt right off.] (Fanservice!) [Topless Rei's turn!] (And it's not me this time!) (I lost most of my clothes before!) (Yeah, but recently it's been all me. ;p) * Rei screams! And her shirt falls off. Also probably her bra, because you need to get through that, too. She staggers back, raising her hands up and forming another white light. "Disco Nova! AGAIN!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 3. [Rei has better aim this time, and her Disco Nova goes through the guy's chest! There's a big hole there now, and yet he's still up.] [Chie's turn!] ( WAHOO! ) (Don't you mean Eh. Seen it. ) * Chie takes another swing at her current target. "Eidolon Blade!" 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-3) and gets 7. [Chie finishes her opponent off!] [The last one swings at Rei. "It's up to me to take revenge for my brothers now."] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 8. [Rei takes another hit to her stomach and is back to not looking in good condition.] [Rei's turn!] ( Especially if you don't go for the 'bloody naked chick' thing. ) * Rei is *pale* and about to collapse, but she barely manages another flickering light. "Disco... Nova. Dammit." 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6-3) and gets 1. [Boom. He explodes.] * Chomei is on the ground. Whoo. If you see a red stone, Rei, take it. Uh... 'kay. * Chie sits down. Heavily. [A reddish orb is formed, much like it was in the fountain room.] * Rei staggers over to Chomei and drips blood all over the place, then pretty much collapses and lays a healing hand on him. She doesn't notice the orb yet. * Chie manages to make her way over to Chomei. "It'll heal you, and then you can heal us." [Chomei be healed! A little. Enough to sit up.] * Rei smiles weakly down at Chomei. He can see her! She's... nakedish. And then she looks up to see the orb, and she reaches out and touches it. * Chomei sits up. "Ouch man, that hurts." * Chie hugs him. * Chomei hugs her back. ( THREESOME! KILL! ) [Rei seems refreshed and her wounds visibly close up. But the orb does not create a new shirt for her.] * Chie says, woozily, "Got a spare jacket in my bag, Rei..." * Rei blinks. "In the immortal words of that guy from the Matrix, whoa." She goes to Chie's bag and fishes in it, pulling out her jacket. "Eew! Couldn't you get one that isn't black?" * Chie 's eyes droop and she leans her head on Chomei's shoulder. "You guys'll be okay... 'm glad..." Same one 's always. ( It'll just get destroyed later anyhow ) (Knowing us? Yes.) Hey, Chie. Mmm? * Rei pulls on the jacket and buttons it up. "Why you so sleepy?" Just got the shit kicked outta me. 'n burned a good deal of energy doin' it. ( "I lost a lotta hp! Oh noes!" ) Ooh. * Chomei frowns. "Well, we still have work to do Chie." Yeah, I know. But just lemme stay here a sec. * Rei walks over to Chie. One of her hands starts to glow white, and she places it on hers. (Energy heal.) Sorry I couldn't get rid of those things faster... Hey, you did your best. * Chomei winces. "Man, those axes hurt." But you guys got really hurt. * Chie takes Rei's hand. You're the two most important people in the world to me. [Chie is healed! Somewhat. She's still seriously injured.] I mean, you probably know that, but... you are. I know that more than I'd like to. (That's not very sweet.) * Chie gives Chomei a rather puzzled look. I'm hurt more than I'd like. You're hurt more than *I'd* like. Well, that makes two of us then. There, Chie. You should be more awake now. And better, and stuff. * Rei reaches over to Chomei and places a glowy hand on him, too. Some of his wounds close. * Chie nods. "I am, Rei. Thanks." She hugs her when she gets a chance. * Rei is hugged! Aww. [Chomei becomes fully teh healed!] * Chomei moves a little and smirks at Rei. "Thanks." [Meanwhile Rei is already starting to look tired. Again.] * Rei smiles wanly. "Yeah, sure. Don't mention it." Fine, I won't. Ready to kick Dracula's ass? * Chie pushes herself up. "Okay. Onward?" [And Chie's still bleeding. Just not so much as before.] Uh, mind if I sleep through that fight? * Rei floats up. [Oh, and the gate is open now! It got opened during the battle somehow.] You rest, we'll kick ass. I'll try better at keeping you safe. * Chomei nods. "No problem Rei." * Rei smiles. "'kay." And she goes! Through the GATE! * Chomei goes through the gate! [Through the gate is a spiral staircase going up!] * Chie begins climbing the staircase up! * Rei goes UP! * Chomei starts up the staircase! [As you get higher you begin to hear mechanical sounding noises. Not surprising since, as the staircase ends, you find yourself in a tower filled with gears and cogs and other strange mechanisms. You also spot Lazar and Asanjya and Maria over there!] [Session End]
