[Day: Wednsday, Oct. 18th. Time: 4:30 p.m.] [Lukas heads to the Regency cafe to meet with his sister. The Regency Cafe is an old-fashioned cafe that looks like it could have come out of Victorian times. Most of the tables are outdoors in a little cobble-stone area, covered by umbrellas. Nice in the summer, but a bit chilly for this time of year.] [There's a few patrons, but Mikaela doesn't seem to be one of them. Perhaps she's not there yet.] [Start!] * Lukas is prepared for chilly, actually. His bike actually has something extra on it as it pulls up, some sort of package thing, and he's got on gloves and a heavier non- damaged jacket. He picks Ten out of the box and heads in with her. * Ten gets pulled out of the box with little effort, and todays outfit has her back in fall colors of cream and orange, with a touch of bright red here and there. She rides along in Lukas's arms. ~ Is she here yet? ~ * Lukas glances around, to make sure there's nobody suspicious around. ~ You'd know, Ten. You'd know. Keep aware. ~ ~ Kay! ~ * Lukas , assuming he doesn't make some sort of awareness check, heads into the place to not see Mikaela more fully. After a moment, he heads to a table with good visual coverage so he can see things coming. Like a front corner. [A few patrons come and go, and about ten minutes pass before the first suspicious person arrives: A figure dressed in a hooded jacket, with the hood pulled up so it's hard to see the face.] ~ Hey! That might be her! ~ * Lukas looks to her hands to see if she's got the proper color. ~ Ya think? ~ ~ Maybe! ~ [Could be. He lowers the hood, and it turns out to be some middle-aged guy with a blond beard and 'stache. He walks up to the counter and orders a cappucino, commenting "Phew, it's chilly out there, huh?" to the waitress.] (Let's hope that's not my dad.) ~ Nope! False positive! ~ [But not long after comes in another figure dressed similarly. Sight check!] (No dice.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. (So failed!) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-2) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 7. (Yay!0 [Lukas catches a glimpse of this one's chin, and though it's pale caucasian, the color still looks off somehow.] ~ Maybe it's this one! ~ * Lukas frowns to himself. ~ Not unless she's had some plastic surgery. Or is going for mime makup. ~ ~ Maybe whatever happened made her not blue? That'd be bad, wouldn't it? ~ [The person spots Lukas and makes her way over, sliding into the sear across from him. "Um... Hi." She lifts her head just enough so that Lukas can see her face. (another sight check!)] 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 12. 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-2) and gets 14, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Hey, a failure. Oh, by the way... I heard what you've been saying about me." (...) (WE SUCK!) ( Oh man. ) ( XD) (Have you ever heard of 'bonuses to easy tasks'? ._.) (Is 'seeing someone through the darkness of a normal hood' really an average d8 task? ;_;) (I'd still need a -5 to make that, and you don't have a chance.) * Lukas peers at the woman with some blinking. "... I'm sorry, do I know you? My eyes aren't what they used to be, uh, sometime." [She blinks right back. "Lukas? It's me."] ~ Uh? Lukas? That's her... only she's not blue any more. o_o ~ * Lukas rubs his eyes and looks at her more carefully. * Ten nods her head at Mikaela, and uses her 'in public' voice. "Good afternoon." * Lukas runs his hand back over his head. "You sure? It's been a long few days and you're a little more coherent than I expected." A weak laugh. "I've seen way too much shit recently, sis." [Mikaela glances down at Ten. "G-Good afternoon. I'd forgotten about you."] [She turns her gaze back to Lukas and nods. "I was drugged pretty badly. They seem to be wearing off now, though... (awareness check, +4) 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+4) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 9. (Missed it by > < much.) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8+2) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 13. (...) ~ Waaah! That's all bad! ~ * Lukas says, "Never heard of a drug quite like that. 'kaela." ~ This feels really fucking weird, Ten. ~ [She rubs her head. "My memories are all jumbled. Did I send you any important e-mails recently? Did I tell you I went to work with HESO?" ] (I believe yes?) ( Not really, aside from the OMFG I'm crazy one. She did mention she went to HESO though. ) * Lukas nods a little. "HESO was in the e-mail address, 'kaela." [She nods. "What did I say? I have a feeling it was important."] * Lukas shrugs. "Nothing much, sorry. Just trouble." She eyes her. "So why no queen of the night routine anymore?" ~ She's gotta be real bad if she can't remember three days ago! ~ ~ This is wrong, Ten. Mikaela's as smart as I am, and she was chock FROZEN last time we met...~ ~ What the hell is happening? ~ [She rubs her head. "Something happened to me. I was on a mission with my team. Someone set us up. I was captured; some of my teammates weren't so lucky."] ~ Did they build another her? I thought you couldn't do that with people. ~ ["I managed to escape. I'm not sure how. I couldn't even remember my commander's name, so I came to the only person I thought could help me. You." She sighs. "Are you sure I didn't send any e-mails with any important info? Or maybe you sent me an important one?"] * Lukas frowns, then, "Positive, Mikaela. And it just... poof?" He snaps his fingers. ~ Or maybe they formated her memory! ~ ~ But her... our powers just don't go away, Ten. They just don't. ~ [She shakes her head. "Maybe it's there somewhere. I just can't find it."] ( Oh, the air is deffinately chilly around her. I should have clarified. ) ~ Reformated everything? ~ * Lukas rubs his head. "Shit... look, 'kaela. Do you need somewhere to hide or something? Can't you just zip over the channel and hit HESO?" [She shakes her head. "No. Like I said, someone set us up. If I go back, it could be dangerous."] ~ ALL BAD! ~ * Lukas opens his mouth to respond, then clearly shifts his response as he says, "Mikaela, if you're not off-color anymore... why the getup?" [She blinks. "But I am. Maybe you just can't tell in the light. HESO has this makeup that's pretty good for hiding unusual coloring, but it's not perfect, and I'm trying not to call attention to myself."] ~ That's awesome stuff! ~ * Lukas says, "You're kidding. That's... well, almost great." ["Yeah. Almost."] Nothing about the hair, huh, or they get that too? [She shakes her head. "No such luck."] * Lukas nods a little and says, "Look, let's... hell, find somewhere the hell else, huh? With far less people." A chuckle. "Probably better for you anyway." ( Gimme a body roll! ) ~ Do you have someplace in mind, or do you want me to find one? ~ 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. ( Just Lukas. ) (Aww, and I made that too.) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 8. (No skill?) ( Nope ) (Then miss by 3.) ~ No bright ideas, no... ~ (Brett, do I have enough resception to try and find local hotels?) [Lukas feels tired. Guess he's been working too hard. Er... maybe not? But he feels kinda tired, in any case.] ( And, awareness check! ) 2d8-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8-2) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 5. (Just him?) (Make by 3.) ( Ten can too, at +4 ) 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+4) and gets a natural 12 for a result of 16. (So failed!) * Lukas starts to yawn and then his eyes widen and he says through a yawn, "Trap..." then the yawn fades and he says as he stands up to try and shake it off, "Sis, everyone's zonking!" ~ Ten, someone's sleeping the place! ~ ~ ACK! ~ * Ten tries to look for the source without giving herself away. [Mikaela blinks. She glances around the room. "So they are."] ( Gimme another body roll, +2! ) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8+2) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 7. (Miss by 2. Thank you, penalty. Woulda made if not.) [Wooo... Lukas's head is getting cloudy. He kinda feels like dropping right there and taking a nap.] * Lukas 's eyes lock on Mikaela and he wobbles on his feet, "Knew something was wrong with you 'kaela..." he tries to focus on causing a light blast and stumble out of the place. ( It'll be a +4 ) ~ You've gotta stay awake! ~ (And are you taking me with?) (I don't think I'm holding on too tight. Might actuall drop you.) 2d8+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8+2) and gets a natural 13 for a result of 15. (Fucksakes!) Session Close: Wed Jan 25 00:00:00 2006 [Mikaela smiles wickedly as the light 'spldes nowhere near her. "Unfortunately, Lukas, your sister was delayed at the airport. But don't worry, we'll take good care of you." The man who came in before, the middle-aged one, also rises at this time.] ( And gimme another body roll! +4! ) (How's this place fixed for silverware and other metal objects?) ( There's some here and there. ) ( A knife and a fork per table. ) * Lukas has quit IRC (Ping timeout) I. Am. Afraid. We. Have. Prior. Engagements. (... Crap.) ( Paws ) (They got Lukas!) * Katherine has joined #emcee * Katherine is now known as Lukas (Okay. I tried to make a +4 attack roll to do a flare and failed.) (Somehow.) (That was the last thing I saw.) ( orz ) (pasted) (Okay.) 2d8+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lukas (2d8+4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 11. (No, I can't make these rolls without critsuccesses. ~ Ten, screech to Togo! Tell him... get Mikaela... god...~ (Ten's attack roll should come up soon, Brett.) [That's all Lukas gets through before he goes *thump*.] ~ Kay! Sending emails! You want me to try and fight them or play dumb? ~ * Lukas thumps down on the table sideways, then falls to the ground. (Everybody who's told Ten their email or phone number gets "Help! Lukas is being kidnapped at [address] Heso is involved and they have his sister.") (Which includes Herman.) (And Togo. And almost certainly Khalil. (Since they're game buddies.) (Yeah, Khalil and Togo are definates.) (Alys is iffy, Ashley is no.) [The woman shoots the man a glance over her shoulder. "Take him to the hideout." She looks back and down at Ten. "I'll deal with the doll." ] * Ten stands up. "Please. Stop. Or. I will. Call. The. Proper. Authorities." [She rolls her eyes. "Ooh. The cops. I'm scared." And now roll init] 2d8+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8+7) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 21. (Since what she used is a SAWA, how soon can I shake it?) (I think you're out for Rokogan.) ( Not for another 2 weeks :P ) (Oh, nevermind then.) (I thought that was this weekend.) (Rokugan is this week.) (Except that this is mechanics crap and you don't need to conk me to keep me from meeting up with the group, so how long does a SAWA incap put me out? :P) (Unless you can guarantee she's not going to smash TEn to bits, which is sure as hell what _I_ would do, I'd like to have a chance for my teammate to not get smashed, conceptually. Mmm?) ( Then Ten better think of a way not to get smashed >.> ) [Ten, woman, man] [Ten!] * Ten looks up at the woman. "Please. Stop. This." Then she starts walking twords the table that Lukas was sitting at. (Trying to get into TK range of his silverware.) ( She can manage that. ) (In that case hold action untill after the guy!) ( I should note, however, that the silverware isn't very sharp and is unlikely to help Ten win a fight against someone intent on smashing her to pieces ) (Even a blunt knife can do a lot of damage with a ton of force behind it.) (And let's not even get into the forks.) [The woman puts her wrists together, palms spread outward, and a freezing gale rushes towards Ten. Fortunately for her, it passes over her head, striking the corner of the seat Lukas was in, and covering it in ice.] [Meanwhile, the man picks up Lukas and starts carrying him towards the door.] ( Ten's action ) (I admire his speed.) * Ten waits for the guy to get a bit farther away. (End turn.) [Ten's turn again! :o] * Ten waits under the table. "You. Are. In. Violation. Of. At. Least. Twenty-three. Ordanances." [Not-Mikaela bends down, pointing a palm at Ten. "More than that, love." There's another frigid blast, and Ten needs a ranged def roll for this one.] 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. (Made) * Ten doesn't so much skitter as glide out of the path of the blast. [Ten dodges as the floor gets frosty where she was before. The man, meanwhile, heads outside with Lukas.] [Back to Ten!] * Ten takes her action and one of the knives on the table above her accelerates like it was just fired out of a gun at the fake. (Do I roll straight TK, or improvised thrown or what?) ( Straight TK, I guess. ) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-5) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 3. (Booya) [The woman lets out a choking cry as the kinfe hits her in the stomach, doubling over a bit. She growls, "So, not just a toy, are you?" She sweeps her hand towards Ten, the frost sweeping as well, though she misses "That's fine, it'll be more satisfying to break you."] Like, I'd be worried if your aim didn't suck, you know? [Ten hears a motor outside. And it's her turn again.] (What kind of a street is it outside? And how much traffic?) ( Two lanes, and not a lot of traffic, but some. ) (Check) * Ten seems to grow a teeny bit taller as her feet come up off the ground. "Anyway, you're soo not getting away with this." * Ten chucks a fork off the table at her! 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-5) and gets a natural 14 for a result of 9. (And I miss!) [The fork misses, and she grins. "Your aim isn't much better. She raises a hand for another blast. (And gimme another def. roll) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. (Keep geting lucky! Maybe Herman knows This coffee shop and got the call!) Well, like yeah. I haven't had much practice at this you know. What's your excuse? ( Nope, Herman's out of town for until Ard gets back :P ) (Of course he is.) [Ten avoids the blast! But the area around her is quickly becoming frosty. She hears the man again from the cafe's entrence. "Elsa, someone called the authorities. We have to leave, now."] [Ten!] * Ten blows an electronic rasberry at Elsa. Then she slides under a table closer to the door before throwing all the the silverware on it she can at her. 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 4. (Woo!) [This time Elsa's more prepared, and manages to dodge the silverware. She runs for the door, hurling another ice blast at Ten as she goes. "I told you no names!"] (Do I need to dodge?) ( Yes ) 2d8-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. (Crap! Missed by one) [Ten tries to dodge, but one of the blasts hits her leg, covering it in frost.] [Ten's turn!] * Ten flails her arms. "HEY! Like, you're totally not supposed to run away yet!" (Am I frozen to the floor?) ( Nope ) * Ten moves to a different table, closer to the door again - having her leg frozen doesn't seem to have slown her down any. (And if she's got any action left, she'll chuck another knife!) ( She can. ) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-5) and gets a natural 15 for a result of 10. (Massive wiff!) * Lukas has quit IRC (Quit: SWitching.) ( Paws ) * Lukas has joined #emcee [Ten misses! Elsa pauses at the door just long enough to pull a small disc from her jacket. She grins at Ten as she flips a switch. It starts beeping, and she drops it as she runs out the door.] [Ten! The probably-a-bomb hasn't exploded yet. What do you do?] * Ten tries to snag it via TK and fly out the front door at the same time! (Toss it at me!) (I can take it! I've been lit on fire!) (Blowing up people = BAD THING!) (I can take it!) (Rolls? Penalties? Cheese?) (Grey Poupon?) ( Standard TK roll. ) 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-5) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 4. (XD) (EAT THE EXPLOSION, BITCH.) (Out into the street with it!) [Ten grabs the disc. Meanwhile Elsa gets into a grey van, which begins to pull out, the man at the wheel.] [Ten again!] ( brb ) (Detonate the damn thing!) (Also, uh, why does grabbing a disk take a turn, but grabbing silverware not take a turn?) (Aren't they the same?) (When you get back, ... can I try for... I dunno, an unskilled military hardware roll to guess the yeild?) (Because I didn't say she was going to chuck it. She's going to carry it out and then chuck it.) (Ah.) (Okay. @_@) (Which way depends on if she's got a clue on how big it explodes.) (Small ones go to the van, medium sized go down the road, big and unknown go straight up.) (I like the first two.) (I mean, how much yield can they put in a distraction grenade?) (It's probably not even a good bomb.) (I dunno, maybe she's insane and has a pocket nuke.) (I doubt that.) (Ten doesn't know!) (Ten can think!) (A pockeet nuke would be the best way to get screwed over.) (Ten thinks she doesn't want anybody else getting hurt.) (Nod.) ( Back ) ( Gimme a demolitions roll. ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 9. (missed by two!) [Ten has no clue what kind out output that disc might have.] * Ten does her best to launch it into LEO, and then takes advantage of her 50 kph flight speed to try and duck under the van! 2d8-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8-5) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 5. (made by 2 on TK) ( Now gimme a body roll. ) 2d8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ten (2d8) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I love you. Do you love me too? Y_ N_" (YES.) (Y!) (YYYYYYYYYYY) (EAT ME, DICEY.) (I WISH TO BUILD YOUR YOUNG DICY!) [There's a large explosion high in the air, but fortunately nobody seems hurt. And Ten makes it under the van just before it hightails it towards the end of the mini.] [End]
