Okay! It's lunch break! Wai! ( Next day> ) ( ? ) Today, you've all gone to a seafood restaurant that Dejiko recommended (and that the GCI gets discounts at.) It doesn't look like much, but it's supposed to be very good. (Next day at least.) The name of the restaurant is "All Fish Must Be Eaten." It's housed in a run-down building on I and 5th, close to the harbor. The building isn't even painted, and some aspects are in serious need of repair; however, the smell that drifts out it's poorly insulated doorway is wonderful. Somehow the lot of you managed to end up going together. You stand in the open doorway, where sits a waitress who seems preoccupied with the shoujo manga she's reading. [Aaaaand... Action!] ( SHould we do descriptions? ) * Marguerite looks around. "I've seen worse..." She sniffs. "And smelled worse, too." Togo>Sure. * Rina smells the air and smiles blissfully. "Soooooo much better than cafeteria food." She flips a long, dark purple ponytail off of one shoulder. * Marguerite is dressed in a camouflage jumpsuit, with black army-style boots. She has shoulder length red hair, currently set loose of its ponytail. Sh's carrying a dark blue satchel slung over one shoulder. ( Togo is a tall, thin man, with short white hair parted down the middle. He's wearing all black (black long-sleeved t-shirt, cargo pants, trenchcoat), plus black sunglasses. Small scars are visible on what skin is exposed, particularly around the edges of the shades. ) * Sayuri chuckles softly, and shifts her black backpack up on her shoulder. "That remains to be seen." The waitress looks down at her manga, and seems close to tears. "Poor poor poor poor Yuki-chan." Well, it *smells* better than cafeteria food, anyway! You gotta give it that. (BTW; Shiori and Rina, you two are roomates.) (Female. Black hair. Grey eyes. 5'6", 110 lb. T-shirt and jeans. Slender.) * Marguerite chuckles at Sayuri. "Can't be worse than Slovenian. Christ, that shit is absolutely FOUL." (Hehe ^^) * Sayuri shrugs. "I wouldn't know, M." * Shiori is about average size, kind of thin, rather attractive, with long, straight black hair and emerald eyes. She's dressed in a business suit, with a trenchcoat. * Marguerite clears her throat really really loudly, staring pointedly at the waitress. "AHEM." * Rina is a pretty young girl with dark, purple hair and fair skin. She's only five feet tall, wears a blouse and jeans, and seems to have trouble walking without tripping. * Rina peeks over at the manga. "Whatcha reading?" The waitress looks up. "Oh! Welcome to All Fish Must Be Eaten. Would you like smoking or non-smoking? Non, please. * Marguerite grimaces. "Fuck." Rina> (The cover of the manga states that it is Heart Heart High.) * Rina giggles at Margie. "Smoker?" * Sayuri scans the room and scratches the back of her hand, snickering at Maggie. Smoke hurts my e- it bothers me. Like a goddamn forest fire. (Margie, Maggie, whatever.) (Same dif, she doesn't care! ;P) I tried to cut back a year ago, and nearly killed a small town. (::wonders if anyone got the reference in the restaurant's title::) ( Nope :P ) (Yes. And we DON'T CARE. ^_~) (YEs. Yes I did. Tjhey have the book at the local RPG store.) (Heh. ^_~) Yeah, most of my friends from school smoke... It's the fashionable way to kill yourself. The waitress chuckles nervously. "Well, it doesn't really matter... this way, please." * Rina pauses, then shakes her head. "Anyway, I never started. Coach said it was bad for the lungs." "Heh. It's bad for a lot of things. Like living." SHe follows. Looking around, you notice that she's right; the room can't be more than twenty feet wide. There are three tables, one with a small, yellowed 'no soking' sign. * Shiori follows at the end of the group, quietly. ... ( No soking?! Noooooooo! ) Figures... (Dang, and I wanted to take a bath here, too.) * Sayuri walks. Walk, walk. She sits you down at the table on the right side of the room, which is sturdy and just manages to seat you all. She walks to the kitchen and returns with menus. The menues are four pages long and full of small text; they have nearly every form of seafood imaginable. * Rina stares at the menu. "I think I'm lost." (Including sushi, reguardless of wheather that really counts or not.) ( Coconut-custard squid with whipped cream? ) * Marguerite unfolds it. "Jesus christ. Shark steak." * Togo scans the menu briefly, then puts it down. * Shiori peers at the menu, looking for something simplistic. * Rina gets a little further in the menu, then puts her forehead on the table. "Make that really lost." * Marguerite jostles Rina's elbow. "Order something deep fried. You can't go wrong with deep fried seafood." * Sayuri waves a hand at Rina. "It's food. Pick something. Eat it. Easy, right?" Ack, okay. Deep fried. Um... The waitress says, "The shrimp, pacific samon, and rock crab are especially fresh today. Shrimp just came in five minutes ago, in fact." * Sayuri chuckles softly at the overlap, and scans the menu again, before closing it and tapping it against the table idly. * Marguerite makes some brief mental calculations, nods to herself, and folds the menu. ( Makes me wish I ate seafood so I knew some of the dishes... ) (I love seafood. ^_^ But I'm having too much fun with Rina being confused.) * Shiori selects something simplistic, and puts the menu down. *** Asa has joined #chibirpg (rock.) (You all owe a great deal of thanks to Jay Sheridan. I suggest sending him money.) * Rina looks blankly at the waitress, then shrugs and shuts the menu. (Send us some, too.) (Whoo! Howdy, Todd!) (Jay's Moogle, ne? Hola Niichan. ^_^) (Hai.) ( 'lo ) *** Yu-Mei sets mode: +v Asa ( ... the consumer reporter on my local NBC news is named Asa. ^_^;; ) (Bwahaha.) The waitress begins to grow impatient. * Sayuri yawns, and covers her mouth with the menu. "We ordering or no?" Ah... I'm ready... Poached salmon, with onions and a dill sauce. Don't overcook it, or it loses all the flavor. * Marguerite nods to the waitress. "I'll have the blackened marlin, a side order of hush puppies, and a triple scotch and water." The waitress takes out a pad and begins scribbling all this down. The rock crab, with something caffeinated. * Rina smiles sheepishly. "Fried shrimp. At least I know I'll eat that. And lemonade, please." (Not too picky are you, Sayuri? ^^) (IT's all good when it gives you a buzz, babe.) Just water for me. ( Gaaahhh.... I don't know a thing about seafood ^^; ) ( Just pick a fish. =P ) (Lobster is always good, Shiori. ^_~) ( Or say "lobster" ) (Scallops, crab, lobster... lobster is great. ^_^ And then you can be confused about how to eat it!) * Shiori looks at the waitress. "Ah... I'll have the shrimp as well... ( Lobster costs too much :P ) ( And they're too cute to eat ;.; ) (Mwahaha. *decides not to talk about how her mom eats lobster, then* ;P) ( ;.; ) ( What, does the beat them to death? =P ) ( she, even ) (No, but she isn't above going after lobsterbrains. ^^;) The waitress walks back into what you presume to be the kitchen. Assorted cooking noises are soon heard. ( ;.; ) ( You're mom's a zombie?!? ) (Shh! Don't call her that, or she might get you, too! <.< >.>) * Sayuri looks somewhere random and taps her finger on the table. (Lookin' bored? Hell yeah.) * Togo sits silently at the table, looking out a window (At that moment, Asa walks in.) * Rina puts her elbows on her table, and rests her chin on her hands. She peers at Sayuri. "I don't think I met you before. Officially, I mean." * Shiori stares at the table, glancing up only briefly as the new guy comes in. * Marguerite perks up. "Asa! There you are, you crazy ass." * Asa is looking... Croftian. Khakis, jacket, sunglasses, sidearms. Shoulder holsters and everything. (Them lobster need a good KILLING.) * Rina blinks, turns to Asa, and waves with a smile. "Hiya!" * Togo eyes the sidearms for a moment, before resuming his examination of the window (Wai! ^_^) The waitress walks back out of the kitchen, and glances at Asa. "Ah. Smoking or non?" * Sayuri looks up at Rina... and takes the distraction opportunity to not answer the question. (You suck.) * Asa waves vaguely at the group of freaks. "I'm with them." (Keep in mind: Anything I've said as an NPC? I am not aware of.) She nods, and hands Asa a menu. "Lemme know when you're ready to order, okay?" ( Should we do descriptions for ya, Todd? ) * Asa smiles pleasantly and hands the menu back. "I'll have the kosher meal with a side of gunpowder, thanks so much." And with that he makes his way to the table and plunks down next to Margie. (If'n you want. I'll do something more descriptive for myself, but Mike can likely fill me in.) The waitress nods and goes back to the kitchen. * Marguerite glares at Asa as he approaches. "Your fucking simulator nearly got me eaten by a Lovecraftian beastie, you Limey. If not for that statue of Abe Lincoln, I'd be brainfried right now." (Go right ahead. Descriptions for all, wai!) * Rina shrugs and looks at Sayuri, noticing the other girl looking away. She opens her mouth to say something, then shrugs and settles back in her seat. ( Togo is a tall, thin man, with short white hair parted down the middle. He's wearing all black (black long-sleeved t-shirt, cargo pants, trenchcoat), plus black sunglasses. Small scars are visible on what skin is exposed, particularly around the edges of the shades. ) * Shiori is about average size, kind of thin, rather attractive, with long, straight black hair and emerald eyes. Her attire is fairly non- descript: a business suit under a trenchcoat. Gradually, the waitress begins returning with your meals. They are all very, very nummy. * Asa is bishounen, to an extent. He has slightly tanned skin and short-cut dusty blond hair. When he takes off his glasses, his eyes are blue. He usually wears loose clothes and is *always armed*. Always. It usually shows. * Rina is a teenager. She's quite pretty, petite, with long, purple hair and fair skin. She's wearing a blouse and jeans, and is currently seeing how far her chair can lean back without tipping over. * Sayuri stops tapping her finger on the table, and starts cracking rock crab pieces to bits, to expose the JUICY MEAT. * Togo takes a bite of his salmon... chews for a moment... then nods and starts eating in earnest. * Marguerite chows down on the blackened marlin with the speed of a rabid ..... something. ( tree sloth ) * Shiori eats her shrimp rather slowly. (Those are nasty. Their claws really hurt.) * Asa eyes Margie over a glass of water and raises an eyebrow. "Well, yay! That's totally my fault, naturally, seeing as how I coded in that very eventuality. 'If Marguerite is in this simulator, evoke Nyarlathotep and turn off the safeties'." * Rina somehow manages to sit back up without falling over, looks a bit surprised at this, and starts happily munching on the shrimp. Bah. *munch munch* You'd do that, just to screw with my head. *takes a long drink from the scotch and water* Damn. More like a water and scotch. * Togo takes a sip of his water, and scowls. "Actually, just water. This is yours. That's my water." * Asa picks at the kosher meal (an empty plate) and sips his water. "Possibly. And this is Japan. Perhaps you were expecting winged kilt- wearing berserkers to descend from the heavens and deliver it to you in a hollowed-out human skull?" * Sayuri closes her eyes and rubs her temples. * Rina grumbles something as she munches on another shrimp. "At least you didn't get turned into a magical girl." * Yu-Mei rolls on the encounter table he set up for this one. "...You people are going to hate me for this." * Togo hands Marguerite her scotch, and takes his water. * Marguerite grimaces. "Gyah. I'd forgotten water tasted like crap." She switches glasses with Togo. "And yes, Asa, I'd like that. As long as there was a wild orgy afterwards." (If another Cthulhu pops up, it is NOT my fault.) * Asa smirks over the rim of his glass. "Claymores and all. No symbolism here." ( If another Cthulu pops up, can I have Tokyo Tower uproot itself to fight it? :P ) (Go Tokyo Tower!) At that moment, a strange man walks in. He has a green fright wig on that must extend straight up for a foot before curling slightly, a cheap device made of glued-together plastic covering one eye, and a long, purple cloak. Five items that look like toy spaceships buzz about him erratically. Hey, I know how I like my men. *wink* * Shiori finishes her meal, puts down her fork, and wipes her mouth with her napkin. (It's an insane FOnewm. c.c;) *** Yu-Mei is now known as Weirdo * Rina points over Margie's shoulder at the man. "Like that?" She eats the last of the shrimp. * Weirdo shouts, "HOW ARE YOU, GENTLEMEN?" (...) * Marguerite chokes on her water. "Fuck no." (DIE, ROBIN.) (+scotch &) (Yu dies. Vote?) * Asa twitches faintly, fingering one of the obviously overcompensating pistols in the shoulders. "Oh no he didn't." (Aye.) * Togo takes whips out his gun and points it at the Wierdo's crotch. "Next word makes you sterile." * Togo points the *other* gun at said wierdo's head * Marguerite calmly swallows, then opens her bag. "Now where did I put Bubba." (3 gun bunnies. THis is insane.) * Rina chokes on her lemonade, then starts coughing. (It's like being a mob movie.) I got it covered. We don't need the heavy artilary. (I told you so.) ( The 4th one isn't here. :P ) Awwww. Dammit. * Marguerite pouts semi-cutely, then drains the rest of her drink in one gulp. * Weirdo pales somewhat as he sees where Togo has his first gun pointed. * Shiori watches the man out of the corner of her eye. * Togo cocks his head at the Wierdo. "Now, do you have something relevant to say, or are you just gonna spout stupid pop-culture references?" * Marguerite loosens her DE in it's holster. Because I'm having a nice meal here... and I hate being interrupted during a nice meal. * Rina finally catches her breath. "C'mon, you can't threaten to shoot someone just for- actually, I guess you could. Um..." * Sayuri opens her eyes and frowns at 'Weirdo'. "Must have missed something." Trust me, this is a killing offense. * Asa looks around. "Mind you, with this group, 'killing offense' loses its impact somewhat." * Marguerite snrks. One of the toy planes dives at Togo and hits him in the wrist with a small laser. (Five damage, Togo.) combat! Roll initiative. Crap! d6+8 * Atomsdice rolls for Togo (d6+8) and gets 14. d6+8 * Atomsdice rolls for Shiori (d6+8) and gets 9. ( o_O ) ( Boo. ) d6+6 * Atomsdice rolls for Marguerite (d6+6) and gets 9. d6+6 * Atomsdice rolls for Rina (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+7 * Atomsdice rolls for Asa (d6+7) and gets 12. d6+5 * Atomsdice rolls for Sayuri (d6+5) and gets 7. (Order: Togo, Weirdo, Asa, Marguerite, Rina, and Sayuri.) ( ;.; ) ( I ceased to exist! ;.; ) (What about Shiori? :P) (Gyuh. Shiori after Margie, sorry. ^^;) * Togo fires both guns at the Wierdo. "That hurt, dammit." 2 2d6-3 * Atomsdice rolls for Togo (2 2d6-3) and gets 4 0. ( o_O! ) (...) (...) (@_@) (I hate you, Milkman Togo.) (Shrug. S'just a good roll. Nothing special.) The man takes both shots to the gut, and is tossed back by the force of the impacts. He bleeds profusely, and the fighters all fall down. Putz. He tries to say something, and fails, which is doubtless for the best. * Marguerite returns to her food. "That was so lame." *** Weirdo is now known as GM * Togo sits back down, rubbing his wrist. Asa's cell phone rings. * Sayuri , having never really been disturbed, shrugs and takes a bite out of previously cracked crab. "Strange." * Asa gets up and retrieves one of the fallen planes. "Whee, spare parts." He looks at the almost-a-corpse and prods it with his toe. "Jerk." And then his cel phone rings, and being a good employee, he answers it. "Morganstern." * Marguerite raises her eyebrow mid-ring. * Shiori stares at the table again, having finished her meal already. (...MID-BITE. Fuck.) * Rina stares blankly at the man. Corpse. Ugly dummy with bad green hair. Whatever. * Sayuri shudders ever-so slightly. * Togo holds his glass of ice water to the spot where he got hit. "Another day, another scar." * Asa blinks, tapping the plane against his thigh with one hand. "In the past five minutes or so, yes. Our resident John Woo clone made him nice and dead, and now our lunch reservations for the next YEAR are cancelled. Why?" * Shiori checks her watch nervously. (I have a *faint* British accent, FYI) ( Actually, my character is tentatively modeled on the DC "superhero" Hitman. =P ) * Rina blinks at the man a few more times, takes a deep breath, then shrugs and goes back to sipping her lemonade. (Heh. ^_^) ( I speak fluent English :P ) * Asa blinks and looks at Togo. "Is that his name? Anyhow. There's 6 of us, counting me, Togo, Mad Dog, and three miscellaneous freaks. I don't like where this is going." * Sayuri smiles softly and chuckles. * Rina shakes her head at the freak remark, but doesn't comment. (You're a freak, deal. :P) (I'm a freak too. ^^;) * Marguerite smiles lightly, and motions for another scotch and water. "Make it a quadruple, if you can. If not, just pour me straight scotch." * Shiori glances at Asa, briefly. (She's dealing, she's dealing. ^_^) * Asa blinks. "Oh, fun! 'Zombies ObCultRef'ed My Neighbors'. Alright, we'll scramble. Considering these itchy trigger fingers I doubt it'll be an issue." We get to kill things? ROCK. * Marguerite throws her plate onto the floor and dumps her satchel on the table instead. She starts digging in it. * Sayuri rolls her eyes at Margie. "Wow. Killing things. It excites and stimulates the mind." * Asa frowns. "Oh my GOD that's cliche. Alright, we're moving out. I'll call with more details when we get there." What's the deal? * Rina giggles at Sayuri's comment and picks up Margie's plate, putting it on the table. Hey, don't knock it till you've made at least 12 notches in your gun. * Asa eyes the table. "Pay up your tabs and strap on your six shooters, Space Cowboys, Uncle Dejiko needs YOU." But I don't have an- what's she want? * Asa grins faintly. "SHe wants you to kill things." * Asa makes sure his hand is OVER the receiver on that one. * Marguerite pulls out a hair tie, and quickly begins braiding. After finishing, she slips on black fingerless gloves, and retrieves her gleaming silver/lime-green plasma rifle from the satchel, where it should never have fit. She grins wildly. "LEt's start the music, baby." * Sayuri frowns, and stands. "What gun are you seeing, M? Blam blam, dead dead. Doesn't exactly challenge my mind in new and exciting ways." * Rina bites her lip and edges away from Margie. * Togo reloads (1 bullet from each gun =P), then replace sthe guns in his holster. Yeah, but I could say the same about Solitaire, geekgirl. (Oh, I am seeing Nuku^2 things in Rina's future. "So sorry about this!" *WHAM*) ("Gomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!" *BOOT* "Pardon meeeeeee!" *MAIM*) (*cackles* ^_^) (::snerks::) * Sayuri snorts. "Who said Solitaire was any good?" Less chatter, more shoot. We have a job to do. * Shiori stands, stepping to the side to let the others out. * Marguerite slings the satchel on her back, then retrieves a wallet from one of the tens of pockets on her jumpsuit. She yanks out a few bills and tosses them at the waitress. "Thanks for the *ahem*"scotch". Gotta run!" * Asa sighs and motions to the door. "Everyone outside. I'll be with you shortly." He picks the phone back up to his ear. "Anything else, fearless leader?" * Marguerite hops onto the table, then jumps to the floor. "Wooo!" * Asa blinks at the phone, then raises an eyebrow. "It better not be anyone on The List. If it is I can't make any guarantees." * Togo tosses some bills on the table. "My compliments to the chef. That should cover getting out the bloodstains... although they actually help the ambiance." * Sayuri drops some money on the table, and glances at Asa oddly as she moves into the going-out path. * Rina digs in her pocket and pulls out what little she has, plopping it on the table. She then smiles at the waitress and waves. "Sorry about the mess!" * Marguerite snorts. "YEah, because exactly what this place needs is more of a "chum" look." * Shiori sighs, some money on the table, and heads out the door after everyone else. * Marguerite scans the room, and then follows out. * Asa smirks. "Yeah, well, your supervisor dresses you funny. Asa out." He then hangs up, putting THAT conversation to an end, and files out the door after the last person leaves. (We all out now, I think. ^^) * Togo quickidles. Bathroom. Ouside is the same street that was there when you left it. Across the street to your right is the subway station you took to get here. Pause. ::plays muzac:: Smoke 'em if ya' got 'em. I think I will. (I need a soda, and used all my change at Denny's for the tip. ;_;) * Marguerite lights um a Camel Unfiltered. (um == up) I should make a combat chart for this damage. ( Hm. ) ( So, Is Atomsdice behaving? ) (Atom> So far, it seems.) ( Back ) Unpause. * Rina wrinkles her nose. "How can you like that stuff?" * Sayuri stretches. "So. What the hell is going on, Asa?" * Marguerite takes a nice long drag. "Because I thrive on death, and this is just death in a stick!" * Togo moves upwind of Margie * Rina laughs. "I asked all my friends... they never came up with that for an answer." None of your friends were hardened cruel mercs, dearie. Well, yeah. * Asa coughs and straightens his shoulder holsters. "ALright, here's our orders. You know, once we've all gotten acquainted. Perhaps an icebreaker? Who likes charades?" * Marguerite smiles, then grinds out the butt with her shoe. Asa, if I don't get to shoot something soon, I'm going to take an axe to the simulator core. "So please, feel free to waste time. " She grins evilly. * Rina laughs nervously. "How bout we make this quick, then? Just who we are and what we do, or something?" She glances around the group. Togo. Some people call me Dead Eyes. GCI Bounty Hunter. * Asa shrugs. "S'fine with me, the GCI can pay to replace it." He glances at Rina. "My name is Asa Morganstern, technical director and at the moment field lieutenant. I assume you all know each other and me knowing you is need-to-know for the time being." Marguerite, AKA Mad Dog. Merc-for-hire. ( We don't all know each other. =P ) But never Margie, or I will shoot you. In the head. LOts. * Sayuri mms, and rests all her weight on her right foot, hands on hips idly. "Livewire. I hack things, and not with axes as Mad Dog seems to enjoy." He points off in (appropriate direction here). "At the moment, the city's being swarmed by really bad past obscure cultural references with GREDs. Our goal is to stop them and take the leader alive." He eyes Maggie. "The prozac's working, I see." * Rina rubs the back of her head. "Actually, I don't. I kinda know Shiori, but she doesn't say much..." She coughs. "Anyway, I'm Rina Arai, and... I don't know what I do yet. Tag along, I guess." I took all the fucking Prozac at once. It tasted like candy. * Shiori fidgets nervously at that. Oh boy. OCRs are FUN FUN FUCKING JOY. They sent you out without... christ. * Rina tugs on Shiori's arm. "C'mon, they've gotta at least know your name." * Shiori glances at Rina nervously before speaking up. "Ah... Shiori.... Shiori Tominaga." * Rina smiles at the other girl. "See, that wasn't so bad." * Sayuri glances at Margie. "Yes. Yes they are. So much fun. Now, I assume there needs to be some super-fun killing now, so can that get done now? Or were we supposed to wait for the city to get destroyed?" * Asa sighs and rubs his temples. "Let me be frank and honest for now. We are in a hostile invader situation at the time, and our job is to covertly resolve the situation before the local authorities find out what's really going on. Our first destination is Tokyo Tower, where the main forces are gathering." * Shiori turns her gaze towards her feet. And Sayuri, if you don't shut up I'm going to put a bullet in your god-damned cynical head. "Covertly" is NOT the word I wanted to hear, Asa. * Sayuri shrugs, but frowns at the use of her name. "Whatever." * Rina tilts her head. "Mebbe we should get to Tokyo Tower before we kill each other?" * Asa grins toothily at Mags. "We also have been told to fire with impunity, so long as the leader is taken alive." He looks around. "I understand you're new at this, most of you. Follow your instincts; if you do your job, no one's asking you to plug people full of holes. Go for the knees if you can't stomach it." He looks at Sayuri. "Now, miss 'Livewire', if you'd be so kind... you have a remote linkup?" * Togo pulls out his guns and starts walking. "Let's go, people. The zombies aren't gonna rot themselves to death." * Shiori nods at Rina. (They're not zombies. Just weirdos.) * Marguerite runs Bubba's bootup sequence. (Squirtguns with holy water aren't going to work. Neither are balloon decoys or anything else.) ... or whatever the hell they are. (Damn.) People with ugly green wigs? (Weedwhackers, then?) (Mwahaha ^_^) (Heh.) * Asa nods. "More people like the guy Togo so elegantly 'neutralized', yes." * Sayuri slides her bookbag to the front and says, "Yeah, yeah..." as she pulls out the E-hammer (laptop.) The current word on the Tower group is... *puts finger to ear* Tank Girl, and the Toxic Avengers. Lord save us all." * Togo eyes Rina. "If you don't know what you're doing, stay back and don't get yourself killed." * Rina fidgets. "I don't plan on it. Getting killed, anyway." I actually have very little clue as to who those people are, but I'm sure they die as easily as the next OCRs. * Togo chuckles a bit. "Good plan." The subway station beckons. Or you could walk; it isn't terribly far. (I'm getting to that.) (Okie. ^.^) Alright, here's the plan. If you could hack us up some GPS photos of the city, find us the cleanest route to the Tower, that'd be swell. In the meantime, I suggest we brief ourselves on our own combat capabilities so we know what to expect in a fight. Aight. I'll go first. (THat's all for the combat tutorial. ) (*falls over*) * Sayuri puts the bookbag back and lets the computer sit to startup, before nodding mutely at Asa and getting to typing. I'm heavy armament. My main weapon's Bubba, here, *gestures*, but I also use grenades, grenade launchers, and even some good old fashioned guns. Just don't stand between me and the target. (INsert spinning 3d graphics of Mad Dog here) * Rina fidgets nervously. Someone else can go at any time, now.... *glances around* * Togo holds up his two big pistols, which are jet black with silver dragons running up the barrels and silver kanji on the grips. "I got these, and that's it." * Shiori shies away as Margie glances around. * Asa nods. "As long as we're covering guns... technology is my specialty, but I also can serve as long-distance fire support if necessary." In a pinch, I can clear a crowd with them, but it's a last resort. Get the hell outta the way when I do, though 'cause I don't do friendly fire. * Asa eyes Rina and Shiori. "Let's be frank, girls... it's obvious you're not okay with this, but let me say this: I've seen more good men die from hestiation than is warranted. This is why we're asking; to protect you and to protect us." If they can't protect themselves, have them stay back with the techie (I will be SO happy when Dejiko shows up and I don't need to play Tutorial Leader anymore. ^^;) * Sayuri mutters, "Should get a walking harness..." and looks up at Asa. "I have your GPS stuff... when you want it, of course." (Asa>Oh, but you do it so well. ^_~) * Rina nods. "Um. As to what I can do, I guess." She looks around, spotting a shiny red convertable. * Asa nods at Sayuri. "We'll finish this on the way. What's our insertion method?" * Rina walks up to it, grabs it by the rear bumper, lifts it a couple feet off the ground, and puts it down gently, then wanders back. * Asa eyes Rina blankly. "...Okay, you're on point." ... I stand corrected. * Sayuri says, "Highway's pretty much out..." and stares at Rina. * Shiori stares at Rina in awe. * Marguerite blinks three times slowly. "Fuck." Yeah, 'fuck' about covers it. What about you, Shiori? * Marguerite turns back to Asa. "Walking's too slow. Can we commandeer a vehicle?" * Rina smiles sheepishly. * Asa hmmms. "If you can get me at the ignition, yes." Eh? Er... Well, I'm... ah... I'm not really that good... at things like this." * Marguerite walks over to the convertible, and glances at the steering column. * Sayuri shakes her head and frowns at the map. "Well, the subway stations are clear, and is already in use by GCI somewhat. So." * Togo walks over to Rina. "I don't suppose GCI's given you hand-to- hand combat training..." * Asa shakes his head. "No good. Subways aren't safe. We want to stay above-ground if possible..." * Rina shakes her head frantically. "No, most of my time's been spent in the medical ward-" She winces at this. * Shiori returns her gaze to the ground. * Sayuri shrugs. "Well, then, you're gonna have to go across the highway somewhere..." ... the med ward food sucks. (but but.. SUBWAYS EAT FRESH.) (*ducks*) (I'm in no position to criticise that statement, Cham.) Yeah, it does. I don't think the scrambled eggs there are real eggs, actually. Alright, we'll have to split up. Sayuri, Togo, you're with me. Marguerite, Rina, and SHiori, you'll follow behind us. Mad Dog and I will provide fire support and our plan is to outrun the competition. We'll just have to borrow some fast cars. The convertible will do. If you're in trouble, don't hesitate to run like hell. No sense having you eat more crappy food. * Togo turns and walks back towards the group. * Rina laughs. "Thanks, Togo." * Marguerite slams her knife into the column, and pushes down, shoving the cover off the whole column. This one's ready, Asa. * Marguerite scans for another car along the street. Wonderful. The other group, pick out something fast while I get this one running. Rina, can you drive? * Shiori chooses a fast looking car and attempts to hotwire it. You and Mad Dog provide fire support... I suppose I'm going in short range? * Rina shakes her head. * Marguerite blinks at Shiori. "oo...kay." * Shiori looks up. "Ah... Didn't we need multiple vehicles?" (The gods smile upon you all, the cars are easy to hotwire.) Yeah. Just expected to have to fix it meself. (Is the second one a convertible, too?) Oh, no, good deal. Can YOU drive, SHiori? Ah... Sorry. Ya done good. Don't apologize. * Shiori shakes her head at Asa. And you are driving, Togo. I am going to be in the back picking off pursuit. (Yes.) (Aight.) Alright... besides ME, and Mad Dog, *who can drive*?! * Marguerite hops in the back. "At least I don't have fucking Cthulhu chasing me this time." ( I live in a country with a great mass transit system. I don't need to drive ^_^_v ) (Reminder: the Drive skill is NOT a requirement, only a benefit) (Yup. ^_^_v) (Come on, pick it up, people. We're nowhere near done.) (And it's 3am.) * Rina gets in the car Margie's in. "Nope. But I think you've gotta drive." ... having me drive would probably not be a great idea. But if need be, fine. * Marguerite eyes Rina. "Have me drive? No. Gotta shoot things. Can't drive. Gotta kill." UNless you're proficient with an AT-4 LAW, I suggest you learn real fast. * Sayuri balances her computer as she walks towards what is now Asa's car. "I believe I'm navigating, because otherwise I could drive." I... can use a LAW... * Asa looks at Rina. "We're not asking for finesse, we're asking for speed. Get in the car, step on the gas, and try not to hit anything. You'll do fine." Come on, let's MOVE. (Parappa jokes will be severely punished.) Get in the cars NOW. * Rina stares at Asa in disbelief. "I've never driven a car in my *life*- oh crap." * Togo gets in the car, and turns it on (Curse you, Niichan.) (More fun this way. Quit yer bitchin. ;) ... someone put this sucker in gear for me. Shiori, get your punk ass in the car before I strap you in myself! * Rina crawls into the driver's seat. "If we die in a horrible crash, it's all your fault!" ( I'm already in a car. I started it :P ) (Would anyone object if I just cut to Tokyo Tower? :P) * Sayuri climbs into the damn car. "Yes, going good, before something catastrophic happens." She proceeds to point off towards the Tower. "Go that way." ( No :) ) * Asa moves over to his car and hops in the back. "Oh, for crying out loud... here, step on the brake and hold this." He produces a rocket launcher from practically nowhere, hands it to Togo, and shifts the car into park. (Not at all, it'll save me the trouble of getting everyone killed. ^_^) (Not at all.) If we all die, I'll be pissed as hell, but it won't matter cause I'll be reincarnated as a fucking SNAIL. Follow Togo. (Cut now?) (Please? ^_^) [Dejiko's face pans forward and then backward against a swirling background, and then you're pulling up to Tokyo Tower!] ( Please. I can't figure out who's where anymore :P ) ( Heh ) (*facepalm*) * Marguerite leaps out of the back. "Asa, you and I on flank, Rina on point?" * Rina stops the car, then gets out, her face as white as a sheet. "Point? What's that... front?" * Togo gets out, guns drawn. "No way. I'm on point." * Sayuri mutters, "Surprisingly light defenses on the outside," as she gets out of the car. * Asa smiles pleasantly, reloading the LAW. "See? Nothing to it. Granted, taking down the guy who thought he was Space Ghost was not on the agenda, but no big deal." He hops out and nods in Margie and Rina's general direction. "You're out in front. We'll flank you. And no, Togo, you're not." I don't care how strong she is, she has *no* training. ... Ah... I'll guard the back, I guess... * Marguerite nods. Front is fine. Fine. What's my job, then, fearless leader? Rina, go with your gut. We've got your back, just trust your instinct. Togo, we need you watching SHiori and Sayuri. ( You're our mascot :P ) * Rina blinks at Asa a couple times, then nods. "If you say so." * Marguerite grabs Rina by the shoulder. "If you get freaked, just follow close behind. Remember - hit them, don't get in front of my gun. (Togo the mascot? ^^) ... guard duty? * Togo shrugs. "Whatever you say." On the near side of the tower are three green fellows with mops, who are engaged in ...uh, defeating the remnants of a National Guard group. I will *not* say they are moping them up. You can complain when we ge tback if you want. Rina needs the experience. * Rina shakes her head a couple times, and the paleness starts to fade. "Okay." UNless you managed to get YOUR skills overnight. * Marguerite starts moving towards them. "Like a fucking holodeck sim..." On the far side is a garishly painted tank, fighting with more conservatively colored tanks. * Sayuri mock-swoons. "I always wanted to be protected by a big strong guy." After straightening out, she says, "Building's an elevator with a lounge at the top." * Rina bites back a giggle and stays close behind Margie. * Shiori follows at the very end, pistol drawn. * Asa eyes Mad Dog, stowing the AT-4... somewhere... and drawing a large pistol. "Totally not my fault. In *front*, Rina. Squad B, stay close. Let's move. If you're threatened, shoot to defend yourself." After the last of the National Guard falls, the treen folk turn towards you. They charge. ...Like now. * Marguerite drops behind Rina. "Trust your instincts." (Use the force, Rina.) Combat. Roll initiative. * Sayuri slides the computer into the backpack, and just looks around somwehat nervously. Especially at the charging people. d6+8 * Atomsdice rolls for Shiori (d6+8) and gets 10. d6+7 * Atomsdice rolls for Asa (d6+7) and gets 12. (Nooooo!) d6+6 * Atomsdice rolls for Marguerite (d6+6) and gets 9. d6+6 * Atomsdice rolls for Rina (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+5 * Atomsdice rolls for Sayuri (d6+5) and gets 10. d6+8 * Atomsdice rolls for Togo (d6+8) and gets 11. Order: Asa, Togo, TA1, TA2, Sayuri, Shiori, TA3, Margie, Rina. (Amusingly, that's how it works. Fire support, then point.) (*laughs*) ( We soften 'em up, you... make them into ashtrays. ) * Asa sighs at the 'Toxic Avengers' and puts both hands on the DE, aiming at the leader and squeezing off a shot. "Back to Tromaville with ya." (We'll wipe the floor with them! *duck* (*dumps a bucket of water over Margie's head*) ( o/" They're gross, but they still get girls! o/" ) 2d6-3 * Atomsdice rolls for Asa (2d6-3) and gets 5. (That hits, FYI. :P) (Busy, dammit. One sec.) (Might I suggest something like http://lina.sandwich.net/besm/asa-combat.txt to people? Makes combat faster.) Asa's happy gun spits bullets at TA1, who takes it like a... sludge... guy. Yeah. Go, Togo! * Togo curses. "That worked poorly..." *aims both shots at the leader's head* 2 2d6-1 * Atomsdice rolls for Togo (2 2d6-1) and gets 5 3. One of the shots hits TA1 high in the chest; the other is deflected with the mop. (Whee, talking is a free action!) TA1 stumbles and falls to one knee. "Doesn't look like normal bullets are gonna work. Try something different, more incendiary!" (Yay! Good battle!) TA2 lays into Togo with his mop. Roll defense, Togo. 2d6 * Atomsdice rolls for Togo (2d6) and gets 7. The mop slams Togo in the gut, lifting off the ground slightly. Whoolf! Go, Sayuri. ...this oughta' be good. *** Atom has joined #ChibiRPG [Atom] I mean, I'm full of gas and not the car *** Atom has left #ChibiRPG *** Atom has joined #ChibiRPG [Atom] I mean, I'm full of gas and not the car *** Atom has left #ChibiRPG ( ... Gah. Sorry, problem. Fixed it ) * Sayuri swings her bookbag around towardxs the thing that just hit Togo, muttering to herself the whole while. Meanwhile, Not Really Tank Girl finishes off the last of the NG tanks. 2d6 * Atomsdice rolls for Sayuri (2d6) and gets 10. (Not Tank Girl, actually an ice cream maker) Sayuri misses by a mile, and spins like a top as a result. ("Spin spin spin!") Shiori! * Shiori dashes at the thing that attacked Togo with incredible speed. As she nears, a two-pronged claw pops out of her right bracer, and she attempts to claw the thing across its face. 2d6 * Atomsdice rolls for Shiori (2d6) and gets 3. ( That's a hit, yup. ) TA2 takes the claw across his face. Bits of green goo come loose, and red blood tricles out from underneath. TA3 swings at Togo, but misses. His mop embeds itself in the ground. Go, Margie! Show 'em whatcha got! (Zizs!) * Marguerite grins. "Cleanup time." She wheels to the nearest TA and unleashes a plasma bolt. (Stun attack! *runs away*) 2d6-2 * Atomsdice rolls for Marguerite (2d6-2) and gets 3. (woo!) * GM [EYES] the time. "What say we call it a session after this fight, and continue the rest later?" (Yes.) (Sounds like a plan.) (Sure.) ( Ya, 5 AM is pushing things. x_x ) ( K. I need to be up in 3 hours :P ) Ta2 is immolated by MArgie's plasma blast. ...Jesus Christ, but that's gruesome. ( Only 5 AM? You weaklings! ) Rina! (Rina SMASH!) ( If I had gotten more than 4 hours of sleep a night this past week, I'd agree with ya :P ) * Rina blinks at the mess, then runs to TA3 and attempts to punch it in the face. 2d6-3 * Atomsdice rolls for Rina (2d6-3) and gets 4. (Oh bah, Asa. :P) (Go for proresu moves! Body Slam! Splash Mountain at 90 Degrees!) (...) (People's Elbow! Rock!) (*snerk* The Bionic Suplex!) ( Ocean Cyclone Suplex ) (Aaaaah! *runs around tugging at her hair*) Rina takes her best shot, along with the left side of TA2's face. Say, that's a pretty good mask, there. ( Use the Ghetto Blaster! ) ( Which was an actual move, BTW, used by the one, the only, Bad News Brown. =P ) TA3 falls to the ground, clearly dazed and barely holding onto consciousness. (You know... I was going to use my SECRET WEAPON and I cna't, because if I did I'd kill US.) Tank Girl fires. Everybody roll Defense. 2d6-1 * Atomsdice rolls for Togo (2d6-1) and gets 4. d6-2 * Atomsdice rolls for Asa (d6-2) and gets 0. Err. 2d6-2 * Atomsdice rolls for Asa (2d6-2) and gets 4. 2d6-3 * Atomsdice rolls for Marguerite (2d6-3) and gets 1. 2d6 * Atomsdice rolls for Sayuri (2d6) and gets 10. (And Togo, you took a defense already. Unless you have Extra Attacks.) 2d6 * Atomsdice rolls for Shiori (2d6) and gets 8. ( Crap, forgot the penalties ) ( What are they again? ) (2 per extra defense) 2d6+1 * Atomsdice rolls for Togo (2d6+1) and gets 10. ( ... shit. =P ) ( Shoulda just added 2 to my previous roll. =P ) 2d6 * Atomsdice rolls for Rina (2d6) and gets 9. ( Wait, is this a new round or no? ) (One second. ::bends the rules::) (This is the same round, I believe, since no new init was rolled.) ( Init is typically rolled only once. It saves time. ) ( Yu? ) (Talking with the GM. One sec. ^^) (Getting my home rules screwy. It's 4am. :P) The GM smiles upon ye all, as Rina runs out, catches the shell, and alters it's trajectory enough to save you all from blowie-upie. The shell screams off in some random direction, probably hitting a fighing boat somewhere. (Keen.) (Isn't he nice? ^_^) (Does she have bullet proof bracers?) (*watches everyone snooze*) (Hee. ^^;) ( Asa's turn? ) (We're still on with this combat, yeh? Alright.) Okay, same turns as before! 'Scept it's y'all verus Tank girl, who goes last. (How far away is this tank, anyway? ^_^) (About fifty yards.) (Hum, okie.) ( And is it just a tank, or is there a person sticking outta the top? =P ) * Asa cheers loudly for Rina, then eyes Tank Girl. "Yay purple hair girl. As for you, 90's refugee... yo quiero your ass on a kebob. Pokeball, go!" He throws out his arm, releasing... a small chihuahua, which yips loudly, then runs at the tank. ( What is this, Worms? =P ) (Dirty Pair homage.) (Yes. Now shaddap and watch the boom.) (Although next on my list of created armaments is the Priceless Ming Vase, yes.) The Yipping Doom runs up to the tank, latches on with it's teeth, and explodes. * Rina stares. "An exploding dog?" * Asa shrugs. "What works, works." * Sayuri woozes muchly. "Um. Boom." @_@ Besides, how better to fight an OCR than with an OCR? * Marguerite chuckles. * Shiori blinks. The tank's left side is actually lifted off the ground by the explosion. The purple-haired girl gets whiplash. Asa clearly weilds the superior OCR. (Are you talking about Rina the purple haired girl, or is there a purple-haired girl in the tank? :P) (The one in the tank. :P) Togo, go! (VICTOLY.) ( Everyone likes purple hair! ) (*blinks* Yup, I'm getting tired, my grammar's really starting to slip. ^^) ( Confering with GM. One sec. ) * Togo aims, and tries to fire a bullet down the barrel of the tank gun. 2d6-1 * Atomsdice rolls for Togo (2d6-1) and gets 6. ( w00t! ) The bullet enter's the tank's barrel, and a moment later there is an explosion. A woman is launched out the hatch of the tank, and lands awkwardly on the ground. She tries to get back up, then decides a nap is a better idea. Victoly! [END SESSION... FOR NOW.] ... Last time, on GCI, all sorts of weird and stupid things were happening. This time; more of the same! (Yay.) (*waves a flag*) (Japan. *Waves flag*) (*fanfare* Japa... curse you, Cham.) (I rock.) We rejoin Our Heros outside of the Tokyo Tower, after defeating some idiots dressed up like Tank Girl and the Toxic Avengers. They've been told that Their Enemy is at the top of the tower, possibly with hostages. Aaaaand action! ... hostages. Always fun... * Marguerite brushes stray hair out of her face and runs Bubba's cooldown sequence. * Asa wipes his brow and looks up. "Damn. That was my last chihuahua." * Sayuri make sure her feet aren't going to betray her, and looks up, frowning. "Perfect." Pity one doesn't find too many Mexicans in Japan, or we could buy you a dozen for a few yen. * Asa grins and looks sidelong at Margie. "Not that kind you can't." "I don't know... stuff em with a few Jalapenos..." she grins. * Togo rubs at his gut where the Toxic Avenger thigee hit him... * Asa then stretches and looks over at Rina. "So we've got to get to the top of Tokyo Tower... this gets worse and worse by the minute. Hey, Rina!" Tabasco sauce? *looks over at Togo* Are you oka- wha? We should get moving. We're sitting ducks out here. * Rina blinks at Asa. * Asa straightens his jacket, then bends down and starts tightening what look like little anklets around his... well, ankles. "Have you ever seen/heard of 'The Tick'?" *** Yonjuuni has joined #chibirpg ... no. * Rina scratches the back of her head. "No, not really. I think Richard mentioned it once or twice... big guy in blue, right?" * Marguerite checks the fusion levels on Bubba, then crouches and begins scanning around. Um... I don't suppose anyone here is a capable sniper...? No sniper rifle, but I'm pretty good at long distances. Not me. Plasma has a tendency to droop after a few hundred yards. * Sayuri stretches, and idly says, "Time, time." ... I see. * Asa smiles at Rina. "Good." He looks back at Shiori and shakes his head. "There's nowhere to *put* a sniper up there, that's the problem. So we're going to them... sort of. How high can you jump, Rina?" * Marguerite raises her eyebrow. * Rina shrugs. "I never really checked." She blinks. "Where do you want me to jump to?" *** Atom has left #ChibiRPG * Asa points up the in the sky. "...MARS!" He coughs, then takes his hand back down. "Not to the top of the tower... just up the support beams. Hopefully you can carry someone with you. I, on the other hand," he says, clicking his heels together and starting to float a few feet in the air, "am taking the alternate elevator." And the other 3 people? * Rina eyes Asa. "How did yo- nevermind." She looks up at the closest support beam. Asa. Do you think there'll be more inside the tower proper? (+enemies) * Asa nods. "Yeah, I do... Rina and I will both take someone with us. Probably Sa... 'Livewire' and you, Mad Dog. The others, more close- range combat people, are going up the internal elevator while we distract them from outside the tower." (How close is said support beam, oh mighty GM? ^^) * Sayuri hmms. (Gimme a sec.) Ah... I'm not so sure that's... a good idea. If they have hostages... * Togo looks at Shiori. "Works for me. You up for it?" Then we shoot carefully. They're probably guarding the elevator. (I'm gonna go ahead and say that Rina can make it. Just for the heck of it.) * Asa nods at Shiori. "Yeah, I know... we're not going in guns a blazin'. But you and Togo are more subtle combatants than me or Marguerite, so you have a better chance to get in undetected." * Marguerite nods. "I'm for it." Then we damn well better hope Asa knows how to plan a distraction (Thanks. ;P) * Asa smiles cheerfully. "Trust me. I'm very distracting." He rummages through a small sack, looking for something. * Marguerite grins at Togo. "I'm a WALKING distraction, baby." She turns back to Asa. "So am I with you or Rina?" * Asa points. "Rina. She's superstrong and you're heavier than the hacker. No offense, but that damn thing weighs a ton and I've gotta carry the person in my arms." (Meaning Bubba.) * Togo turns back to Shiori. "If you're not comfortable with it, I've got no problem going in myself... I usually work alone. But having backup is never a bad thing." * Sayuri shrugs and walks over to the two flyers, chuckling to herself. * Marguerite grins. "Pity I'll miss that." She moves over to Rina. "HOw you wanna work this, girl?" Eh? No, it's not that... * Rina eyes the beams some more. "Welp, I'm probably going to need my hands and arms if something goes wrong. So if you don't mind going up piggy-back..." She grins. * Asa glances at Shiori. "Then what?" * Shiori shakes her head. "...It's nothing. I'm ready." * Marguerite slips Bubba into her satchel. "Good for me. Lets me get off easily, too." ... if you say so. * Togo pulls out his pistols and attaches the silencers. "Time to get quiet..." * Rina smiles at Shiori. "Don't worry. We can go for ice cream or something after this." She crouches down for Margie. * Asa smiles triumphantly as he withdraws the items he was looking for -- three cylinders the size of small flashlights -- and hands one each to Sayuri, Rina, and Maggie. "Put these somewhere on yourselves, hmm? Then press the red button to turn them on." He nods at Togo and Shiori. "Alright. When we head up, go in... just try to be as quick and quiet as possible." * Sayuri actually straps the bookbag on, and looks up just in time to get the cylinder. "What's this do?" she says, turning it around in her hand. * Marguerite grabs the cylinder, looks at it curiously for a moment, then shrugs, pushes the button, and fits it into one of her many pockets. She then climbs onto Rina's back. (*sends /msgs to the people with the thingies and waits*) * Shiori smiles faintly at Rina, then turns to Togo. "Ah... When you're ready." Ready. * Rina eyes the cylinder. "Um, sure." She presses the red button and sticks it in her pocket. * Sayuri looks at Asa with disbelief. It's our distraction. Go ahead, turn it on. * Asa smiles sweetly. * Togo gets ready to head in as soon as Asa and co head up (Aww, come on. Give us descriptions! ^_^_v) (Go ahead, folks. Tell everyone what they see. ^_~) * Sayuri mutters. "I wasn't supposed to be front line..." and straps it on. T-Togo? How are you at... ah, stealth work? Good enough to live this long. * Sayuri presses the button, muttering the whole while... and suddenly looks like a blonde teenager, in a green fuku mixed with armor pieces. (Fuu from MKR). * Shiori nods. * Rina 's purple hair turned red, the ponytail into a braid, and she's even shorter than before. Not to mention a fuku mixed with armor pieces, much like Sayuri's (Hikaru, also from MKR ;P). * Togo looks back, double takes, taps his glasses... then just turns away, shaking his head. "... distraction..." * Rina snaps out of gauging the distance to the beams and looks at Togo. "What?" *facing away* Nothing... * Sayuri giggles and, on seeing Togo's reaction, "blows a kiss at him. "Hey, Togo. Does it work?" ^.~ ... (And take out that first quote mark. Grr.) * Togo rechecks his ammo. * Shiori readies her claw. * Rina looks over at Sayuri and almost falls over (with Mad Dog on her back). "Waitaminute..." She grabs her ponytail/braid and takes a look, then grins. Widely. The air around Maggie suddenly shimmers and she wavers into a tall light-blue-haired teen, also fukued in armor. (Umi, from MKR) *** Asa has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) (Suddenly, Asa dissapears! Aaaah! Kidding.) * Togo finally turns around, and eyes Mad Dog, a hint of a grin on his face. "... it's you." * Sayuri laughs, and looks at Margie. "It does suit you. Blue's gotta be your color." * Marguerite looks down. "Oh, fuck. Don't tell me I have to go through puberty AGAIN... And I'm so going to kill you all. Right through the head." *** Sidhe has quit IRC (Read error: Broken pipe ) Hey, I didn't do nothin'. Honest. * Sayuri chuckles. "S'just a hologram, 'Umi'." (Pause.) *** Asa has joined #chibirpg [Asa] "Must use my... ROCKET BUSTIER!" (*SCREAM*) (Welcome back? ^^;) *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Asa (I missed everything after Rina's desc) ( I got it ) * Rina looks over at Sayuri and almost falls over (with Mad Dog on her back). "Waitaminute..." She grabs her ponytail/braid and takes a look, then grins. Widely. The air around Maggie suddenly shimmers and she wavers into a tall light-blue-haired teen, also fukued in armor. (Umi, from MKR) *** Asa has quit IRC (Ping timeout) (Suddenly, Asa dissapears! Aaaah! Kidding.) * Togo finally turns around, and eyes Mad Dog, a hint of a grin on his face. "... it's you." * Sayuri laughs, and look * Sayuri laughs, and looks at Margie. "It does suit you. Blue's gotta be your color." * Marguerite looks down. "Oh, fuck. Don't tell me I have to go through puberty AGAIN... And I'm so going to kill you all. Right through the head." *** Sidhe has quit IRC (Read error: Broken pipe) Hey, I didn't do nothin'. Honest. * Sayuri chuckles. "S'just a hologram, 'Umi'." (I would suggest /MSG for later such spam.) (Whatever. ^_^) Yeah, and I was just bitching. Whoever the hell you're supposed to be. * Sayuri chuckles some more, and seems to pick at her 'fuku'. Fuu, or so I was told. Ancient magical girls stuff is... well, obscure. And I doubt you were the 'Moonie' type anyway. * Asa grins. "Her name is 'Fuu'. Rina is 'Hikaru'. They're from an old Japanese animated program... as for me?" He clicks a button on his jacket and slowly fades out to invisibility. "I'm just not sexy enough. Grab Mad Dog, 'Hikaru', and let's get going." * Marguerite adjusts herself on 'Hikaru's' back. (And throw in some reasonable quotes. Stupid keyboard.) (The Tower Beckons to you.) * Rina giggles. "Got her. Jump now?" * Shiori looks at Togo. Ready? * Sayuri frowns. "So how do you want to do this, Mr. Lieutenant, sir?" she says, with as much sarcasm as she deems safe. * Shiori nods. (Which is probably still a decent chunk. ^_~) * Asa frowns also, but is invisible and thus it's not seen. "I wouldn't take that tone with a superior officer who's about to be the only thing keeping you from going splat at 150 feet. I'm going to carry you as best I can around the waist. Just stand still>" (Ack. BRB.) (Pause. ::plays muzac::) * Sayuri nods, and says idly. "Remember to mind the bookbag..." (*sigh* 30 second ping, then a 27 second ping) (Then a 37 second ping) (x.x) (If I get disconned again, I'm probably not going to bother reconnecting.) (Hell, go ahead and reconnect now while we're paused. ^^;) (It won't matter.) ( Oh. ) (Sorry. Took longer than expected.) (Unpause.) *** Demotafk has joined #ChibiRPG Mind the bookbag. Right. Once we're in, talk only if you have to, and keep you're eyes and ears open. *** Demotafk is now known as Demota * Asa grabs Sayuri around the waist as best he can, lifting both into the air, trying to stay even with Rina. "Alright, let's go." * Marguerite grips tightly. * Togo nods, and moves to head in. * Shiori nods. "I... should probably go first." * Shiori follows Togo. * Rina looks up at the beam. "Okay, gonna give it a try." She jumps. * Sayuri tries to keep her balance in Asa's arms, as akward as that is (and probably as awkward as she looks, as well.) Go together. Don't wanna get separated in a fight. Rina bounds high into the air, landing on the lowest support beam. *** AnimeDebugger is now known as NinjaDebugger But... If we're careful we may not have to fight... Rina> To your right is what looks like a maintenance ladder. I'm a pessimist. * Rina adjusts her balance, boggles at the ground, and slowly turns and lowers Margie to the beam. "Mebbe we should take that ladder? I don't trust me jumping any more than I have to." Oh. * Shiori sighs. "You're probably right anyway." * Asa speaks from thin air about three feet to Rina's left. "Ladder's fine, but we'll have to climb around the observation deck once we get there." * Marguerite nods. "Sure. Damn, that was fun. They should hire you at DisneyMegaComplex. You'd make a killing." She winks. You're new to this stuff, right? Eh? Not... exactly... * Rina laughs. "Yeah, but they don't need to pay their robots." She frowns a bit at this, then stands up straight. "You wanna go first, or should I?" * Marguerite makes for the ladder. I'll go first. * Rina nods and follows. * Marguerite climbs! Excitement abounds! * Togo pauses for a second, then shrugs. "Whatever. Just watch it, 'kay?" * Sayuri looks about (somewhat nervously), and continues to look awkward and as if she were in a movie with bad flying effects. * Rina climbs after Marguerite! Yay! * Shiori nods. * Togo heads in. Margie and Rina are going to be climbing for quite a while, so let's cut to Togo and Shiori. * Shiori follows. * Asa and "Fuu" float up beside "Umi" and "Hikaru". Asa decides to outline the plan on the way up. "So here's the deal. When we get up there, try to be... well, Sayuri, try to be brainy and friendly. You're halfway there. Rina, you should be fine as you are. Mad Dog... you need to be imperious and selfish and prideful." He thinks for a moment. "Actually, maybe you should switch projectors with Livewire..." * Marguerite snrks rigt before the cut. * Sayuri snorts indignantly, before smiling brightly. "Why would you make fun of me, Asa? I'm such a nice girl!" She'd curtsey and wink, but she still looks awkward, and still be flyin'. * Shiori follows Togo in. Shiori, Togo> You reach the first-floor elevators without incident. There is a single button to the left of each set of doors, marked with a ^. * Togo points up, and pushes one of the buttons. *whisper* I think we should take this up to near the top, and take the stairs up the last coupla floors... The button lights up, and after a wait of ten minutes the doors part with a 'ding'. Ah... There are no stairs. ... crap. Hard way, then. * Togo gets into the elevator. * Shiori enters the elevator, flattening against one of the walls. (I just remembered. Tokyo Tower => Japanese Eiffel(sp) Tower. ^^;) * Togo eyes the elevator. ( Any cameras in it? ) (No cameras.) ( Coo' ) (Y'know, It's gonna take a long time for Margie to climb the Tokyo Tower. A lot longer than it'll take the elevators to reach the top, certainly.) * Shiori hits the up button. (This is why I suggested the jumping.) ( Er... Wait a sec. ) (If anything, Margie can start getting tired. We can cut back. :P) (Switch back to jumping, then.) Okay... we take this to a few floors below the top, send it up to the top, and go up in another... if there's anyone up there, it'll give us a distraction (Margie could resume her piggyback ride and have Rina do all the climbing, perhaps. Rina could climb Really Damn Fast. :P) Sound good? (Fortunately, Shiori and Togo have NO IDEA of what's happening. So!) * Shiori nods. Good. ( Got that, Yu? =P ) ( How many floors are there? :P ) (No good, Jesse. Only two floors. Top and bottom.) ( ... Ok, not good. ) The elevator doors close after Shiori and Togo enter. The Muzac rendition of "Stairway to Heaven" plays. ( ... you're kidding me. ) I have an idea... (Nope.) We can pause it near the top, then climb up the rest of the way... Better idea. Nice. The 'up' button beckons. Sort of. * Shiori hit it already :P Oh. Well, fine then. Now back to the others! * Marguerite pants. Rina, this ain;t working. ( For how long? Do I have time to run down and start a load of laundry? ) (go for it.) (you can make it if you hurry.) ( hurrying ) * Rina looks up at Margie. "Yeah. You have been slowing down. But I'm not tired at all." * Marguerite smiles wanly. "Could I hitch a lift?" * Asa glances over. "You two okay?" Ladders have never been my strong suit, Asa. This is damn tiring. *** Demota is now known as Demotafk * Rina nods at Asa. "Yeah, we're fine, just tryin' to figure out how to do this." * Sayuri mutters, before looking up smiling brightly. "I'm just peachy! Flying is fun!" (Wai! Flying!) Shut up or I drop you. Ack, okay. Let's stop at the next support beam and I'll piggy- back ya the rest of the way. * Marguerite nods. * Rina grins. "At least now I have a job: taxi." Definitely for that. * Sayuri continues, "As is being carried like a sack of potato..." and shuts right up. (The top of the next support beam is about ten feet up from where Margie is now.) * Asa looks at the tower. "If you can carry her, Rina, please do it. There's no stops on the elevator in Tokyo Tower, we have to move fast." * Marguerite grins and starts climbing again. Gotcha. Just to the next beam. *climbs after her* (reach the beam?) (you do now. ^_^) * Marguerite reaches the beam and steps out on it. "Alright. I'll get on your back again." (MIKE. STOP PINGING ME, GAWDDAMNIT.) * Rina nods and steps on the beam as well, crouching down. "C'mon, we don't have much time." (Chuckle. Okie.) (I shouldn't be seeing "-sandiego.ca.us.sandwich.net- *** Notice -- Server flood protection activated for Asa" :P) * Marguerite hurriedly climbs on and grips tightly. ( Crap. Reopened my cuts. >_< ) * Rina grabs onto the ladder again and starts climbing slowly, picking up speed as she goes. "I'm gonna climb as fast as I can with you on my back. Lemme know if you think you're gonna fall." (x.x) (Urk. Don't do that, Jesse. c.c) * Marguerite grimaces and nods, concentrating on not falling the fuck off." ( Mesh laundry bags + just closed cuts on hands = BAD IDEA ) (That's all for us, I think, Yu. ^^;) (UNless we're flash-forwarding to the top.) Now, back to the other group. We're nearing the top. * Shiori nods, and hits the stop button. While the elevators in Tokyo Tower don't have floor indicators, they do have altimeters so the tourists can oooh and aaah over how high they're getting. ( How high up is the hatch on top? ) (If if they don't now, they will in THE FUTURE!!!) The top of the elevator car is eight feet from the floor of the elevator car. You can prolly reach the hatch if you jump. Ah... I'll get it. * Shiori jumps up, trying to open the hatch. (Gyuh. BRB! x_x) Shiori grabs hold of the handle on the hatch, which doesn't give under her weight. I'll boost you up. ( I don't weigh much :P ) Eh? N-No, that's okay!. * Shiori blushes furiously. "I-I think I can get it myself..." * Togo cocks his head. "... whatever you say." * Shiori attempts to open it, having said such. *** Sayuri has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) The hatch appears to be held close with something like a locking mechanism; it holds the hatch in place, but it clearly wasn't built to thwart criminals or anything. ... now's not the time to be shy. *** Sayuri has joined #ChibiRPG * Marguerite (cooks bacon!) *** GM sets mode: +v Sayuri * Shiori frowns. And I'd rather not shoot out the lock. I-I... guess I don't have a choice. * Togo gets on his hands and knees. "Stand on my back." * Shiori does so. "S-Sorry... about this..." Part of the job. * Shiori inspects the lock, then pulls out a few tools and gets to work. Just... watch the head. Togo manages to hold Shiori's weight. ( He should :P ) ( I am MIGHTY! YOSH! ) ( Nah. Shiori doesn't weigh much at all. ) ( I am not all that MIGHTY! YOSH! ) (Shiori's a 90-pound weakling. :P) *** Yonjuuni has left #chibirpg (Togo's still mighty, tho.) (Hello, Yon o/~) Shiori gets the hatch open with no problems. Above is an indeterminate distance of elevator shaft. (Howdy, Yon.) (Er, goodbye, even.) * Shiori climbs up, then offers Togo a hand. (Eep, I didn't realize. Need to change the color of that text. :P) * Togo takes the hand, and climbs up on top, looking around for anything threatening ( In an elevator shaft? :P ) Togo> Nothing seems particularly threatening in the elevator shaft. ( You've never met my old GM. =P ) (o/~Love in an elevator....) * Togo points up, and starts climbing (Damn you, Cham.) * Shiori waits for Togo to move first, then follows. (*cracks up*) (*yawn* Can we speed this up a bit?) ( Elevator shaft, hostages... what is this, Die Hard? =P ) Back to the other team! Who is pretty close to the top, now. * Marguerite still has her eyes closed and is muttering to herself. * Asa looks up and mmms. "Alright, we're almost there... once we get in range, you're going to have to quickly grab ahold of me... I'm going to use a force field to give you something to stand on up there, but I've got to concentrate to keep it running, so your movement will be sort of limited." * Marguerite nods. * Sayuri is still looking like a female Pumaman. "Me grab ahold of you too?" * Rina keeps climbing as fast as she dares, which is probably pretty fast. "Sure. Just say when." * Asa sighs and rolls his eyes, though no one sees it. "No, Sayuri. You're going to let go. Hopefully your screaming will get their attention." ( Oh my god! It's Bizzaro Sayuri! =P ) * Sayuri giggles airily (as she can, anyway.) "That doesn't sound very smart, Asa." No, but you do, so keep it up, Chibi-Elvira. (And the slow pings begin! Yay!) And now they're at the top. Wai! * Sayuri smiles brightly, but quizically. "But I'm Fuu, not Elvira..." * Rina blinks and stops, breathing a bit heavily. * Asa sighs. "God damnit, Sayuri, shut up for now, wouldja?" * Marguerite loosens her grip slightly, eyes still closed. * Asa eyes Rina, then looks up. "You gonna make it?" * Sayuri chuckles softly and nods. (How close is Asa, oh GM?) Rina's ladder ends just to the right of the window of the lower observation deck. From there she can get onto a narrow (say, two feet) ledge around the structure. (Three feet to your left.) (About... yeah.) * Rina glances at the ledge. "Okay, I'm gonna step onto this thing. Don't panic." * Marguerite opens her eyes. "mm." (Been constant all the way up. ^_^) * Rina makes her way onto the ledge veeeery carefully. Rina manages to get onto the ledge without slipping or tripping or anything of that sort. * Asa moves over to the ledge, aligning Sayuri's feet with it. "Alright, 'Fuu'... try to stand on that ledge before my arms fall off." * Rina breathes a sigh of relief and moves so 'Fuu' has an easier time getting off. * Marguerite slowly releases her grip to stand on the ledge next to 'Hikaru'. * Marguerite looks down. "Wow. That looks like it'd be fun to parasail from." * Sayuri erks and tries to stand on the ledge, muttering, "Dejiko needs to lie less." (Fuu -> Umi, blah. :P) ( Bathroom. Back in a sec ) * Rina blinks at 'Fuu'. "What'd she say?" She's just bitching. * Asa chuckles. "You get used to that." He looks around, then briefly cuts the holocamo, hovering close to the ledge. "Here's the plan... I'm going to form the field, and it should 'encase' the ledge, so to speak... when I give the signal, step off one at a time. The field should keep you up." * Marguerite nods. "And where do we go from there?" * Sayuri snorts. "Damn right I'm bitching. I'm a hacker, not a trapeze artist." If you don't stop talking and concentrate, you're going to be a fucking pancake, and your precious laptop with you, geekgirl. And I'm not even s'posed to be here, if it makes you feel any better. *titls her head* What do we do when we get there? ( Back ) (My spelling is going downheel!) (Chortles mightily) When you get there? Uh... I'm hoping you'll be able to pick up on the cues well enough. * Rina blinks. "Acting?" She grins. * Sayuri chuckles morbidly. "Cues, like the guns and the shooting and the killing and such." *sigh* "Anyways." (you know, Asa... why can't you be the Mokona?) * Asa closes his eyes and concentrates, holding out his arms. The bracers glow with a faint blue light, and then a somewhat loud humming begins. "Alright... Sayuri, you're lightest. Take a step off the ledge. And pray to god I don't drop your whiny ass." (Mwahahaha!) (Because it was MY PLAN. Now shaddap.) (Curse you to hell, Asa Morgenstern.) * Sayuri looks out at the invisible shield... and steps out as carefully as she can. The field holds. * Sayuri noisily lets out the breath she was holding. Alright... Marguerite, you next. Ooh... LH to "I lost on Jeopardy" =P *** Demotafk is now known as Demota ( CRAP, mischan ) ( sorry ) * Marguerite looks at Asa, then smirks. She steps out and stands perfectly still. The field continues to hold. (You waited too long. I got worried. ^_^;;) (Sorry. ^^;) Alright... Rina, no offense, but you're the heaviest and I can't move. Mad Dog, Sayuri... get as close to the ledge if you can. If it doesn't hold, grab the ledge and try to catch Rina. Not that I *expect* this to happen... but better safe than splat. * Marguerite nods slowly and inches forward. * Rina laughs nervously. "It's okay, I'm not offended... hoo boy." * Sayuri gulps and inches forward as well. Through the window ahead you can see a group of people who had been sitting around talking. One of them is dressed as a tour guide. They're beginning to stare out the window at the bunch of you. (Aw... FUCK.) (I'm visible. >.<) (*laughs*) (*snickers*) (Okay, on to plan B.) You and your damn plans, Asa! What's wrong with just shooting them?!!? None of these people look might like a villain, mind you. * Rina notices the people, then smiles cheerfully and waves at them. Much, even. ...how the hell did I mistype *that*? (It spreads, it spreads!) * Sayuri smiles and waves nervously too. (^^;) Because I was told to take the leader alive, jackass! Rina, get the hell in the field! On to plan B! Ack, okay! * Rina steps onto the field. ( So much for being stealthy :P ) ( Distraction! W00t! ) The people inside go back to talking amongst themselves, casting curious glances towards you every now and then. Um, Asa, they don't look like they're gonna get people to attack us. I think. * Marguerite grimaces. "The still need to be shot." ( Plan C! Short comedy sketch to entertain the tourists! ) * Sayuri taps her foot on the field nervously... (DO something or Maggie's going to wig out.) *** Asa has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) (...) (Yeah.) (Oh, hell.) (Pause.) ( He went invisible? ) (Hopefully he'll bother to reconnect. ^^;) ( If he doesn't? ) (Uhm. Normally I'd either NPC them or have them suddenly dissapear. But those would both be bad in this situation.) (Yes, yes they would.) (Disappearing is bad. x.x ( I dont see why he couldn't be NPC'd, though. ) (We might have to wait 'til tomorrow. ^^;) (Because I have no idea what Todd's cocamamie scheme is, mostly. ^^;) ( I knew we should've used my plan :P ) *** Asa has joined #chibirpg [Asa] "Must use my... ROCKET BUSTIER!" (He returns!) (Woohoo!) (Okay, I completely missed... pretty much everything.) ( Heeeeeeeee's baaaaaaaaaaaack! ) *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Asa ( I got it. DON'T POST IT HERE! ) (::chuckles::) (Gimmie a sec.) Session Time: Tue Sep 04 00:00:00 2001 * Asa grits his teeth, rummaging in the Sack O' Tech quickly and retrieving a futuristic boom box with attached microphone. "Plan B: Dance Dance Distraction. Hit the purple button the hologram projectors and try to make it sexy to the beat." He lays the box down on the ledge, checks the (wireless) mic, and then pushes the field back slightly into midair. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... 007 PRODUCTIONS PROUDLY PRESENTS... THE BOND GIRLS!" ...oh sweet jesus. * Sayuri blinks.... * Asa holds his hand over the mic. "Shut up and do it!" * Marguerite growls and presses the button. (The purple button puts you all in nice, slinky, sexy clothing. Otherwise, you look like yourselves. Except Sayuri, who looks like Tyra Banks.) * Sayuri pushes the purple button and grins. (Gee, thanks!) ( O_O ) * Rina sweatdrops and presses the button. The people in the room go back to staring. Especially the males. (*laughs*) (Well, let's face it. You've got the sex appeal of a cheese grater.) * Marguerite "grooves" and "acts sexy", managing not to "snarl like a puma" while doing so. (With jeans and a ragged T-shirt on? Yes. ;P) * Sayuri blows a kiss to the people in the room, before dancing and "acting sexy" as best she can. * Rina winks and tries grooving, somehow managing not to not fall on her face. Hey, it's an accomplishment! One thing different about this round of staring from the last is that this time the people inside all stop talking. ( And start drooling! ) * Marguerite grumbles about death and murder and slaughter and Asa Morgenstern and killing and maiming.... *** Kei has joined #chibirpg [Kei] "Must use my... ROCKET BUSTIER!" (*SNARL*) (Rehi.) (Okay, my big long pose is now gone, thanks MIRC...) (Gimmie a second, please.) (Sure.) *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Kei *** Asa has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) *** Kei is now known as Asa * Asa smiles cheesily, then bows and 'fades out', activating the holocamo and starting the CD playback. Disco groove starts booming out, probably heard for blocks around: o/~ "Bad girls... talkin' bout the sad girls... bad girls... talkin' bout bad, bad girls..." o/~ (Your life is forfeit, Asa.) * Sayuri chuckles to herself as she dances. * Rina mutters as she dances. "I really don't think those guys are out to hurt us. They don't look funny, anyway. No green wigs." The tourists are distracted. Congrats! (If you kill me, all four of us die. Keep this in mind.) (Curse you.) ( It was kinda obvious :P ) (. o O (S'a shame it's not something good.) (Oh, I'll wait till you least expect it.) ( ... we shoulda stopped the elevator higher. ) ( It must've been a hideously slow elevator :P ) (Eh, what the heck. Might as well...) (Yay! 30+ second ping!) (Meanwhile, Shiori and Togo have reached the top. They hear faint music from inside the elevator shaft.) ( Is there a door or somethign? ) ( One would assume so :P ) (Mecha's laptop shut off. Give him a bit.) ( Kinda pointless to have an elevator with no exit at the top, no? :P ) (Ack. Chronos is contagious?) (Different problem.) (Well, yeah. there's a door, and to it's right is a lever for opening the doors manually.) * Togo puts a finger to his lips, takes out his guns (silencers on ^_^), moves to the door. (we need to finish this soon. I gotta get to bed.) * Togo motions for Shiori to open the door a crack and peek through (The door stands it's ground.) *** Sayuri has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) (Ah, heck. Should we just stop again and pick up some other time? ^^;;;) * Shiori can't, 'cause Togo is on the ladder above her. (Naw, let it go a little longer.) ( Agreed. ) *** Sayuri has joined #ChibiRPG (I can probably go a bit longer, yeah, but not more than 30-45 mintues.) * Togo climbs up higher, allowing Shiori access to the (presumably locked) door You see no lock on the door. * Shiori climbs up, and pulls the lever a bit, opening the doors a crack so she can see through. Through the doors you see a window. On the other side of the window is a dancing figure in a skimpy outfit. The figure looks like Rina. * Shiori blinks. * Shiori blinks again. * Rina doesn't notice Shiori and keeps dancing (and being thoroughly humiliated, mind). I... ah... I think it's clear. * Shiori pulls the lever a bit more, opening the doors wide enough to pass through, though not fully opening them. * Sayuri hasn't stopped dancing. After all, it's not HER body, right? ^.~ (I believe the answer to that is a rousing HELL NO.) * Togo climbs through after Shiori, guns drawn... and freezes. [...] (You are in no danger of being mistaken for Tyra Banks.) Once through the door you see two more figures dancing. One looks like Marguerite. Off to your left is a group of people who seem somewhat enthralled by the show. (Can we see them enter the room?) You can. I mean, hey, they're right in front of you. (Yep. Appearance 1 does not do that. ;P) I... Don't remember this being part of the plan. [...] * Marguerite notes them, scowls, then quickly turns it into a come- hither look and continues (FUCKING) dancing. * Togo facepalms. "Why couldn't they have just sent me on another suicide mission." * Asa smiles as Togo comes in. "Okay, showtime's over!" The holocamo deactivates, revealing Asa. "Alright, hit the purple button again on those things, we're moving in!" The force field, centered on Asa, starts drifting toward the ledge and the observation windows. (Hitting the purple button deactivates the illusion.) * Rina hits the purple button *very* gratefully. ( What was the point of that? :P ) (Got their attention, didn't it?) * Marguerite slams on the button, then tosses the device over her shoulder and goes digging into her bag. ... and what, pray tell, was *that*? * Rina eyes the device thoughtfully and sticks it in her pocket. /me sighs softly and hits the button, reverting to her normal black haired form (and backpacking the device.) Togo says something that can't be heard on the other side of the window. (And I get really tied of whatever keeps DOING that to my /me s) * Asa eyes the lot of you. "Don't expect to keep those." * Togo opens a window so Asa and co can come in. "... the hell was that?" Aww, why not? These are probably the hostages... We should call the elevator for them... Well, nobody's keeping M's. *thumbs towards her* (Wouldn't you have to walk through a crowd to get to a window?) * Marguerite eyes the device that hasn't quite hit ground yet. "I didn't keep mine." * Marguerite goes walking towards the window. (Togo falls off the edge of the world. ^_^) (I think we should change it to Il Palazzo's pit trap.) First, you don't have to walk *through* the crowd, as you can go around them. (Retract last action. Instead, proceed to pull Bubba from satchel.) Second, I'm dubious as to the reasons for having easy-open windows over a thousand feet up. ^^; MArgie draws her Awfully Big Gun. * Togo finds that the windows don't open easily... the pulls out his guns and blows out a window (shooting *away* from the others) The people inside notice this, and one of them screams. Window washers. Don't mind us. * Shiori tries to get them to calm down, and probably fails miserably. * Asa sighs and rubs his temples as Togo blows open a window, getting on the ledge himself and deactivating the field once the three girls are on. "Wonderful, Mr. Stealth, I'm so glad I gave you the delicate mission..." he mumbles. * Sayuri frowns to herself. "No info, full exposure. Dirky would have hated that." ( Wouldn't the winds this high be dangerous? ) Says the Soul Train * Rina bites her lip, then shrugs. (YES.) Togo, Shiori> From the side of the observation deck obscured by the bank of elevators, you hear someone shout "What the hell was that?" I think you pretty blew stealth to high holy hell already ( +much ) (Could I perchance make it through the window please?) Ah... * Asa eyes Togo angrily. "We were THE FUCKING DISTRACTION, dumbass! That was our JOB!" Then more noise won't much matter, will it? * Shiori approaches the hostages quickly, the guide specifically. The same voice says "Go check it out." You keep distracting, we'll kill stuff. * Sayuri scrambles inside the window (if she can.) "Screw this. C'mon, before we're sitting ducks." s'my job, after all. * Asa grits his teeth. "You better back the hell away from this window before I push you OUT it. Everyone inside and get ready to defend yourselves. Livewire, get Shiori and take care of the hostages." * Sayuri muttters pretty softly, "As if I wasn't one already." * Marguerite follows Sayuri. Someone walks around the bank of elevators and into view. He has long blonde hair, a red cape, a shiny hat with wings, and a hammer. Is is very big. * Togo shrugs, moves, and readies his guns ([...]) * Rina gets in the window and blinks at the man. * Marguerite grins. "Finally. This cloak and dagger shit is seriously not my style.....holy fuck." ( o/" Thor, God of Thunder, Son of Odin... o/" ) He looks at the lot of you in disbelief. * Sayuri follows Shiori, sparing the man a 'You must be a loony.' look. I've always wanted to kill a god. () * Asa climbs in the window, sees 'Thor', and twitches faintly. "'Oh, and be sure to take them alive'," he says in a mock-Cartman-style voice. "Thanks, Dejiko. Remind me to perforate you when we get back." * Rina stares at the man a second longer, then puts on her sunniest smile. "Can I help you?" * Marguerite blinks. "Alive? FUCK." * Marguerite slips Bubba away. "Fuck." She pulls out her DE from the shoulder holster. "Fuck fuck." She slams a clip of rubber bullets into it. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK FUCK FUCK!" the man says, "What by Odin's grizzled beard art thou doing here?" * Shiori looks at the tour guide. "Ah... ma'am? We need to get you and the others out of here..." * Asa draws his DE, eyeing Mad Dog. "Just the leader. If this guy turns out to be some random flunkie, put a hole in his fucking forehead." Um... *ponders* The tour guide decides that might be a good idea, and starts talking to the others. * Marguerite brightens. "Aw-RIGHT!" She pulls out Bubba again. Another man walks around the corner. "Thor, what's going on... wha?" (but keeps the DE handy just in case.) (Firing it with your teeth, Pikachu? :P) * Sayuri watches the crazys nervously. "C'mon, Shiori, people, get a move on!" The other man is thing and wiry, and wears enourmously thick glasses. He is wearing a t-shirt that claims that Troma rules. (...I am going to kill you, Robin.) (Slowly.) (I even missed that one OOC.) (Eh? No, that's just some guy. Not an OCR.) (Oh. Then I'll get to kill you after Todd does.) (Troma is, among other things, a very very BAD film distro company. Responsible for such quality films as "Killer COndom". The very mention of them makes my teeth grind.) (Oh, joy. ^_^) (.... Death to all GMs?) * Rina waves at the other man. "Hi! I'm just looking for the bathroom. Got a little lost..." She laughs nervously. (Wai! Death!) (All GM's Must Be Beaten. *smack*) ( Troma! Wai! ) The scrawny man with the offending T-shirt looks at you all a bit longer, and then turns to the other one. "Thor, kill them." He walks back around to the other side of the deck. * Asa sweatbeads. "Come on, Rina, GEEZ. Three of us are holding WEAPONS..." he mumbles, before turning to the nerd. "Excuse me, Sergeant Kabukiman?" He holsters the DE and whips out a law. "You ain't going anywhere." * Marguerite mutters to Asa. "I think we know which one's the fucking leader." (s/law/LAW) Thor nods. * Marguerite levels Bubba at Thor. * Rina grumbles. "What, do I have eyes in the back of my head now?" Roll initiative. ^_^ (Even us sillies?) * Asa waves a hand at the geek. "Rina, Togo, take the leader. Mad Dog and I will make this guy Thor all over." d6+8 * AtomicDice rolls for Shiori (d6+8) and gets 13. d6+6 * AtomicDice rolls for Marguerite (d6+6) and gets 8. d6+8 * AtomicDice rolls for Togo (d6+8) and gets 11. d6+6 * AtomicDice rolls for Rina (d6+6) and gets 9. d6+7 * AtomicDice rolls for Asa (d6+7) and gets 13. (I hate you, AtomicDice.) d6+5 * AtomicDice rolls for Sayuri (d6+5) and gets 7. ( Yu: If you need a permanent dice roller, I can bring Dicesuke in here. He'll tell you when there's a critical hit, too. ) ( Or a critical failure, for that matter. ) Combat order: Asa Shiori, Togo, Rina, Thor, Margie, and Sayuri. (ND> Thanks. ^_^) ( Leader's gone? ) ( Want me to? ) (Not right this second, tho.) ( cool. ) (The leader went back around. He doesn't look like the fighting type.) (So FOLLOW him. c.c;) ( Not if the GM doesn't let us. =P ) (you can try when it's your turn. :P) (We're on an OBSERVATION DECK, for crying out loud, not an air force base. There's only so many places he can go.) ( ... I don't like teh way Yu said that. ^_^;; ) (And we really need to speed this up. I have 15 minutes.) ( Quick! Go around the other side! :P ) (Yes, but there's this huge guy who wants to kill you between you and him. :P Now, are you going to DO SOMETHING, or would you rather argue a bit more first?) * Asa glances at the faux-Viking blonde, and levels the rocket launcher at him. "God of thunder, right?" He pulls the trigger, launching a blast at him. "Pleasure to beat you." 2d6-2 * AtomicDice rolls for Asa (2d6-2) and gets 3. (Ooh yes, that's a hit. And the attack is Area.) ( This is NOT a good place to use a rocket launcher... ) (Yeah, well, too late now.) (Besides, we don't know if Thor has powers and stuff.) The rocket hits dead center, creating a nice big explosion and sending bits of flaming stuff everywhere. The cuncussion and noise from the blast make your ears hurt. * Marguerite grins wildly. Thor walks casually out of the burning area left by the explosion. He looks angry for some reason. * Asa grumbles. "Aw, MAN. Now I've used up the chihuahua AND my rockets..." * Rina winces. "Ow. Now what?" * Shiori continues gathering the hostages towards the elevators, keeping an eye on Thor (holding action). Go, Togo. ( Conversing with GM. One sec. ) * Togo fires a shot at Thor's eye. "Welcome to the club." 2d6-1 * AtomicDice rolls for Togo (2d6-1) and gets 6. (What's the holdup?) (Beats me.) Thor tries to dodge, and the bullet ends up richocheting off of his helmet. ( Crap. Good defense roll. >_< ) (Or a damn good helmet.) Go, Rina. (Gonna ask the GM a question, one sec. ^^;) *** NinjaDebugger has left #ChibiRPG *** NinjaDebugger has joined #ChibiRPG *** NinjaDebugger is now known as SleepDebugger * Rina grimaces and runs up, attempting (suicidally, I'm sure) to punch Thor in the gut. 2d6-3 * AtomicDice rolls for Rina (2d6-3) and gets 4. (...) (Wai?) Rina's fist slams into Thor's gut, knocking the breath out of him. He recovers quickly, tho, saying "Oho! An opponent worthy of the might of Thor!" Thor's turn. Worthy? Uh oh. Thor attempts to whack Rina with his hammer. Roll defense, Rina. 2d6-2 * AtomicDice rolls for Rina (2d6-2) and gets 6. (what's wrong? Why not making with the rolling?) (I'm not all that familiar with BESM rules. ^^; So I'm checking what I need to roll. I'll get better, honest!) Rina manages to get out of the way in time. The hammer, meanwhile, makes a lovely dent in the floor. Go, Margie! * Marguerite screams incoherently with a wild smile on her face and unleashes a blob of plasma. (Full Attack) 2d6-4 * AtomicDice rolls for Marguerite (2d6-4) and gets 2. (WOO!) (@_@) (Deep friiiiiiiiiiiied goodness!) (Thank fucking Eris.) ( Unless he defends. :P ) (Then I kill the world.) (I think he had his defense already.) Thor takes the whole blast to his gut, burning away his lousy costume and searing his flesh. He doubles over and just manages not to scream in agony. He's still standing, tho. ( You always can defend. You just get a +2 penalty for every one after the first. ) Go, Sayuri! ( Cumulative ) * Sayuri pulls the holomachine out of her backpack and starts a'running around the other side, hitting the Fuu button as she does so. ( And he STILL blocked my called shot? ;_; ) (I'm aware, but considering the average DCV is pretty low, that's still sort of discouraging.) Sayuri manages to get around the elevator bank without Thor noticing her. ( When it's multiple people against one NPC, that NPC's CV is usually fairly high. ) (Okay... I need to be up in 7 hours for work. Please, please, can we speed this up?) (It's almost over, Todd.) (Next round?) * Shiori blinks as Sayuri takes off, then silently follows her. Go, Asa. (I'd say BS, but you're getting away with 'directing' people as a complete non-action. ;P) (Shiori makes it. :P) * Asa grins, considering Thor's getting hammered, hawhaw. He drops the LAW and dashes at the 'god', prepping for a big punch. The gloves on his hands hum and glow red. 2d6 * AtomicDice rolls for Asa (2d6) and gets 9. (Aw, DAMNIT.) (Nobody sees her, of course.) Asa's swing goes wide, and his hand embeds itself in the wall of the elevator bank. Thor spares him a confused look. Shiori. ( Heh! ) (Wait, Shiori's on the other side, now. We'll get to them in a bit.) * Shiori continues following Sayuri. (Shiori delayed. She goes on 7, IIRC. ;P) ( Ok. ) Togo! ( Holding action while I wait for the slow one. :P ) * Togo decides to just blast the putz. *** Asa has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) 2 2d6-3 * AtomicDice rolls for Togo (2 2d6-3) and gets 2 1. ( W00t! ) Thor takes both bullets, and gasps. He slowly falls to his knees, and then to the floor. He's, like, dead. An' stuff. Now, over to Sayuri and Shiori! Sayuri, in her clever disguise, makes it over first. (*idly waits for a descrip*) ( Even though I'm faster? :P ) (You were following, Shiori. ;P) On the other side is the wiry man, who is sitting and typing on a laptop. He looks up as Sayuri enters and his eyes go wide. *** Atom has joined #ChibiRPG [Atom] I mean, I'm full of gas and not the car "What the--?" *** Atom has left #ChibiRPG Otherwise, this side of the deck is just like the other one. Honest. * Sayuri winks. "Hiya, big boy. I'm Fuu." ^.~ The man stammers. (Shiori enters, but fails to be noticed by either of you.) * Sayuri waves her hand towards the other side, as she walks towards him (as sultrily as possible.) "Those losers tried to get me to help them. What a bore." * Shiori quietly attempts to get behind the man. (Shiori manages to get behind him.) Sayuri, meanwhile, continues to have a captive (and speechless) audience. * Sayuri smiles at him, and puts a finger to her chin, trying to puff out her chest towards him. "You, however, are much more interesting." * Shiori slowly draws out her gun and signals to Sayuri. * Shiori reaches into another pocket and pulls out handcuffs. * Shiori pokes the gun into the man's back. "Freeze!" ( ... Am I still connected? O.o ) * Sayuri curses softly, and glares at Shiori. "Girls interrupting my business." The man does something other than freeze. He jumps high enough to hit his head on the cieling, and that with enough force to be knocked out by the blow." ( Not quite what I was going for, but hey... :P ) * Shiori quickly cuffs him while he's out. * Sayuri shakes her head and glares at Shiori. "Why in the fuck did you follow me?" Eh? I thought... You thought wrong. You were supposed to be keeping those people safe, not trailing me. You had it under control, so I tried to get something done. Everyone else comes around the bend, now, and the sounds of combat are gone. Asa is talking to someone on his cel phone. * Shiori winces. * Marguerite stands back and watches Sayuri. * Rina pokes her head in, but doesn't say anything. You're DAMN lucky he's as geeky as I thought he was. We have no idea what he can do, for crying out loud. He can summon things like Thor, for one. * Shiori lowers her head. "...Sorry..." * Sayuri snorts. "Yeah, well." Sorry, sorry, get a spine and get a clue. I just... I didn't think you should.. go alone. Sorry... * Sayuri turns away to the computer the geek was at, and turns off the hologram machine. The geek's body and laptop dissapear in something remarkably like the transporter effect off of the origional Star Trek series. * Shiori heads to the other side of the observation deck. Quickly. ... * Sayuri frowns as what she was about to look at dissapears. No clue at fragging all. Wha- hey! *runs after Shiori* Asa grumbles into the cel phone and continues talking to whoever it is on the other end. Well that went beautifully... * Marguerite runs the cooldown on Bubba, and goes back to make sure Thor's stayed down. After a bit, Asa hangs up. "Dejiko has a chopper on the way to pick us up. Everyone up to the upper deck." * Togo heads up. (Shall I call it a game?) * Sayuri sighs, and starts going to the upper deck... (Sure, why not.) 'Kay. Lemme find Shiori and I'm going. (Fine with me.) Okay. "It's a game."
