[22:11] [SESSION START. HERE COMES THE NARRATION, FOLKS.] [22:12] ( Yes, Captain Exposition! *salute* ) [22:12] (At ease, Private.) [22:13] ( It better be decent exposition, or else you'll be arrested for Indecent Exposure! ) [22:13] ( Ba-dum-tish. ) [22:13] (*bangs her head against the desk*) [22:14] (Fined $400, bad pun.) [22:15] ( ...a friend of mine just proposed a Love Hina video set to 'Smack my bitch up." ) [22:15] ( Oh my. ) [22:16] Late last night you arrived in Los Angeles, California. Sadly, you're away from any of the parts of the city that someone might consider good, since Dejiko has you all holed up beneath a warehouse in one of the industrial areas. [22:17] ( Luxury warehouse? ) [22:18] (You wish. 8P) [22:18] The rooms under this warehouse are old and rather dingy, although not much dust has found them down here. They don't make for a very cheerful setting, but Dejiko insists that there are reasons for being here, speciffically. [22:20] Most of you have tended to congregate in what might be called the living room of the arangement, as it's well lit and smells better than the rest of the place. Of course, you don't *have* to be there. Yet. [22:21] And off you go. [22:22] Oh, and it's 8 PM on a Tuesday night. [22:22] * Marguerite sits in a chair in the living room. She's taking apart her DE, then putting it together, then taking it apart..... you get the idea. [22:23] * Rina wanders in and deposits herself on an old sofa. "Bored bored bored bored..." [22:23] * Togo is lying back in a chair, legs outstretched, hands behind his head. It's uncertain whether he's awake or asleep, for obvious reasons. [22:23] It's _great_ to be back in the good old US. [22:24] * Yoji sits in a chair with his sketchbook across his knees. He can be heard humming faintly as he draws. [22:24] * Jacqueline is sitting in a chair, playing a handheld game and grinning like mad. [22:25] * Sayuri coughs, wearing a bustier instead of the earlier top, and flats instead of heels. She's reading a large book (that may be familiar to some.) [22:25] Really? I dunno what's so great about it. [22:25] * Rina flops sideways on the sofa and examines the wall. [22:25] * Robert walks in, sits down on the floor, and begins tinkering with Reason, doing some unknown modification. [22:25] I was being sarcastic. [22:25] Oh. [22:25] Damn, I can't even get to a BAD bar if I'm stuck down here. [22:25] What do you need a bar for? [22:26] To get good and drunk, which is what I like to do in my free time. [22:26] Everybody needs a hobby. [22:26] I've got some beer, if you want it. [22:27] Really? How old, and is it Japanese or Canadian? [22:27] * Sayuri chuckles. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Mad Dog can get drunk when she's drinking." [22:27] Um, I bought it before we left GCI, and it's japanese. I have a hell of a time getting anything outside of Japan. [22:28] I don't have much, though. [22:28] * Marguerite shudders. "I'll pass. Japanese beer isn't really beer. It's melted yellow snow." She makes a face. [22:28] * Yoji looks up from his drawing, glances at Robert, then goes back to his work. [22:28] * Robert shrugs. [22:28] * Rina sits up and turns in the sofa so she's facing Yoji. "Whatcha drawing?" [22:29] Your choice. [22:29] Believe me, if I could I'd have some nice German beer instead. [22:29] * Yoji passes the sketchbook to Rina. [22:29] * Rina takes it and looks. She giggles madly. [22:29] "Mmm.. german... dammit, don't tempt me." She continues to take apart the gun. [22:29] That's great! [22:30] * Yoji grins. [22:30] * Rina flips through the other pictures, and her grin widens. "You're really good, Yoji." She laughs as she hands the sketchbook back to him. [22:30] Thanks. ^_^ [22:30] * Yoji accepts the sketchbook back. [22:30] * Togo gets up out of his chair, pops a few joints loudly, then starts pacing back and forth in the back of the room. [22:30] Mebbe you should draw another one like that. But next time... [22:31] * Rina leans over the sofa and whispers into Yoji's ear. [22:31] * Sayuri looks up, quirks an eyebrow, and says nothing more, looking back at the book with a serious frown. [22:31] * Yoji listens, and laughs. [22:31] * Rina grins. [22:32] * Yoji flips the page over and starts anew. [22:33] *** Todd has joined #chibirpg [22:33] * Rina kindasorta watches Yoji draw from her position on the sofa. [22:33] *pacepace* =P [22:34] Dejiko walks into the room, yawning and popping joints. "Finally, some sleep." [22:34] * Rina also ignores Togo. Yoji drawing is much more interesting. :P [22:34] Morning, boss. [22:34] * Togo notices Dejiko, cocks his head for a moment, and returns to his chair. [22:34] * Marguerite waves idly. [22:34] Hiya Dejiko. [22:35] * Jacqueline laughs out in triumph. "Yes! Finished on Ultra Secret Hyper Ninja Death Difficulty without taking a single hit!... Uh, morning Dejiko." [22:35] * Yoji looks up. "Hi." [22:36] * Sayuri blinks once, continus frowning at the book, and mutters, "How odd." [22:36] What, Dejiko being here? [22:37] *** Demota has left #ChibiRPG [22:37] * Jacqueline shuts the game off and puts it away. [22:37] Huh? [22:37] * Rina blinks at Sayuri. [22:37] * Sayuri looks up, and sees Dejiko. "Oh." [22:38] * Yoji stops drawing, and looks at Dejiko. [22:39] *** Yu-Mei has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) [22:39] (Well, that explains that.) [22:40] ( He'll be back in a sec. irc crashed. ) [22:40] *** Yu-Mei has joined #ChibiRPG [22:40] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Yu-Mei [22:40] (Blargh.) [22:40] *** Demota has joined #ChibiRPG [22:41] Dejiko grabs a soda from the fridge and sits down on the sofa. "So. I hope you all haven't been too bored. And if you have I'm sorry." [22:42] * Marguerite slams the DE back together and slips the clip into it. "Who's bored?" [22:42] * Jacqueline is still grinning. "I've been having fun!" [22:42] Boredom is seriously underrated. [22:43] * Yoji shrugs. "It's not that bad." [22:43] Just a little. Yoji snapped me out of it, though. [22:44] Eheheh. [22:44] I always have something to do. [22:44] Dejiko nods, and opens the soda can with the same hand she's holding it with. "Well, you probably won't be bored for the next few days. You might not sleep as much as you'd like, but there will be plenty of excitement." [22:44] Excitement's good. Where's Hayashi? [22:44] * Rina blinks. "Uh... that doesn't sound good, for some reason." [22:44] He's right next door, Togo, but that can wait for a few minutes. [22:44] *** Atom has left #ChibiRPG [22:44] +"" [22:45] ... [22:45] * Yoji scratches his head. "Who's this Hayashi guy you keep mentioning?" [22:45] Wonderful. Sleep is for the weak, like Anklebiter used to say. [22:45] No, it damn well can't wait. [22:45] * Rina watches Togo and shifts her position in the sofa. "Someone who pissed Togo off, I think." [22:46] Tell me where he is, so I can go and ventilate him. [22:46] Yes, it can. It can wait until everyone's ready to help you raid the place so you don't get yourself killed. [22:46] (...screw it.) [22:46] *** Yu-Mei is now known as Dejiko [22:47] * Marguerite blinks. "Raid?" [22:47] I went through a few dozen of his guys last time. I can probably do it again. [22:47] *** Ked has left #ChibiRPG [22:47] * Rina plants both feet on the ground. "Yup, it someone who pissed Togo off," she confirms quietly. [22:48] * Yoji nods. [22:48] Yes, Raid. We are going to enter the neighboring warehouse and kill a man named Taka Hayashi. He is a known smuggler of many things, so if we find anything useful while we're there, we might grab it. [22:48] Oh, sweet. [22:48] * Rina blinks. "Kill? That's different." [22:48] * Togo starts to say something, but stops, and takes several deep breaths. [22:48] * Sayuri looks up and makes a disgusted face, but holds back a comment. [22:49] * Yoji blanches. "Kill?" [22:49] Slay the villians and keep the treasure, right? [22:49] No worries. He's mine. [22:49] Yes, Kill. Although that part will probably be left to Togo, who owes Taka a thing or two. [22:49] * Togo turns to face the others, nodding. "Anyone else touches him deals with me. He's MINE." [22:49] * Robert shrugs. [22:50] You can have him. I want the guns he's running. [22:50] If I get him, I get him. I'm not letting people get killed for your vendetta. [22:50] * Yoji thinks. "Um... Is the guy who burned out your eyes?" [22:50] Fair enough. If you guys can help me get to him, I'll owe you all one. [22:50] Shot them out at point blank range, and yeah, among other things. [22:52] * Togo draws his guns, checks his ammo, and locks and loads. "Fucker's time just ran out." [22:52] * Sayuri taps her finger on her book. "I wouldn't want to insult your manhood by taking your kill. Although I'm not sure I can do anything to help you except get shot at." [22:52] * Marguerite stands up. "Mercs don't stop revenge. Gets you killed really easily." [22:52] You could try keeping the cops off us until we get done, Sayuri. [22:53] One note; I have heard rumors that one of the items Hayashi has been smuggling is people. So despite this being an all-out assault, I'd rather keep collateral damage to a minimum, since there is no telling how many innocent people are being kept in crates in that warehouse. [22:53] * Rina blinks. [22:53] People? [22:53] ...He's into slavery? [22:53] Just like in Japan. [22:53] Aw, dammit. [22:53] People. As in, 'slaves'. [22:53] ...ugh. [22:53] * Togo shakes his head. "Some things never change." [22:53] Wow... Here I expected drugs, or weapons. [22:53] * Rina frowns. [22:53] Can't count the number of slave warehouses of his I busted up. [22:53] Yeah. Me too. [22:54] Sick, sick bastard. [22:54] Now. As to why things will be getting more interesting. [22:54] * Marguerite picks up her satchel and starts digging through it. [22:55] * Sayuri frowns, and mutters, "Keeping police off places is notoriously hard. It's that whole people factor." [22:55] * Robert takes off his coat, pulls out his armor, and begins strapping it on. [22:55] Well, if anybody can do it, it's you, right? [22:56] I think she means that if they decide to come, she can't physically stop the,. [22:56] * Yoji looks at the floor. "Slaves..." [22:56] Yeah, but she could stop incoming calls, right? Keep the cops from finding out that something's going down? [22:56] * Togo resumes pacing again. If anything, he's looking more grim than usual. [22:56] * Sayuri waves over at Margie. "It's hard to hide smoke in the sky." [22:56] That, too. [22:57] I have recieved word that effective at noon tomorrow, the United States of America will be under Martial Law. I'm sure that at least some of you can guess why it was done. [22:57] ( Whoa. Togo can actually do that? :P ) [22:57] * Rina watches Togo pace. "Wait, martial law?" [22:57] But I can sure make it suck... the hell? [22:57] WHOA. Hold the fucking phone, here. [22:57] ...martial law? [22:57] * Jacqueline blinks. "Even as far as here??" [22:57] ...it what? [22:57] I13. Has to be. [22:58] * Robert curses mightily. [22:58] * Sayuri frowns. "They can't be willing to wreck a whole country just to get us." [22:58] Maybe it's not us. [22:58] People can have other motives. [22:59] Still, martial law would certainly make it difficult for us to move. [22:59] Definitely. [22:59] * Rina nods. [22:59] Too fuckin' right. [22:59] Are we leaving before noon, then? [22:59] Dejiko, what reasoning did they give? [23:00] Or rather, what reasoning WILL they give? [23:00] It's us. I'm fairly certain. Oh, and Marguerite, you and I will be on America's Most Wanted tomorrow night. [23:00] Um. [23:00] Erk. [23:00] * Marguerite stares. [23:01] But I haven't DONE anything in the US! [23:01] * Rina laughs. "You'll be on TV!" She giggles, then calms herself down. [23:01] I turned down everything they threw at me! [23:01] * Robert looks vaguely sad. [23:01] * Jacqueline chuckles. "Maybe that's why they picked you." [23:01] You don't have to have done anything, sometimes. [23:01] All the more reason to get moving. [23:01] Fucking hell. [23:02] That's true. But we're here, and you in particular are being sold to the media as part of 'a dangerous group of terrorists'. [23:02] Terrorists. Fucking wonderful. [23:02] I, of course, am being branded as the leader of said terrorist group, but they don't have quite so much footage ofme. [23:02] Jesus, this is what you get for serving Uncle Sam, isn't it? A kick in the ass. [23:03] * Sayuri looks saddened. [23:03] * Rina shakes her head. [23:04] * Togo stops pacing. "I don't mean to be rude here, but we have some slaves to free and some people to shoot." [23:04] * Marguerite suddenly digs in her bag, and pulls out an American flag bandanna. She then pulls out her lighter, and uses that to set the bandanna on fire. She tosses it on the floor and watches it smoulder. [23:04] * Yoji just watches the bandanna. [23:04] ... [23:04] "Uncle Sam" had very little to do this this, Marguerite. The government of the United States have little choice in this matter. [23:05] Please don't. [23:05] * Robert turns away from the burning flag. [23:05] And I'm gonna go fucking insane if I have to stand here much longer. [23:05] Naturally, however, this will move our time table up a bit. We will have to be in New York by Thursday at the bery latest, where before I had given us two weeks to gather support on our way there. [23:06] I don't care who did it, really. I've been fucked twice by this country. I'm not stupid enough to stick around for a third time. [23:06] * Togo scowls, and resumes pacing, faster this time around. [23:06] * Rina fidgets. [23:06] * Jacqueline stands up and stretches. [23:06] Togo's right. Let's get moving. We can talk about where we're going on our way there. [23:07] * Sayuri looks at down at the burnt bandana, and shrugs. [23:07] Okay. [23:07] 'kay. [23:07] * Rina stands and stretches. [23:07] Good enough. [23:07] * Robert punches a few buttons on Reason's keypad and stands back up. [23:07] * Yoji closes his sketchbook and puts it down on the chair, then stands. [23:08] * Togo nods, and heads for the door, whipping his trenchcoat behind him. [23:08] Be careful. Hayashi has several men guarding himself and his operations there, although when I looked around today I found no automated security systems. [23:08] Um... I hate to slow things down, but... do we actually have a plan for doing this? [23:08] Doesn't look like it. [23:08] Yes. Shoot things. [23:08] * Marguerite pulls out Bubba and follows Togo. [23:08] * Jacqueline sighs. "I was afraid of that." [23:08] Sayuri, if you'd rather stay here, or help me with keeping the police distracted, that's fine. [23:09] I don't do strategy. I'm better at tactics. [23:09] * Rina rubs the back of her head. "Thought so. C'mon, Jackie. Mebbe we can keep them from getting killed." She cracks a small grin at this, then heads out the door. [23:09] To the rest of you, good luck. [23:10] * Sayuri shrugs. "No argument there. The less dead I am, the better." [23:10] * Yoji follows Rina. [23:10] * Robert salutes. [23:10] Seeya, boss. [23:10] * Robert follows outside. [23:10] * Jacqueline sighs and follows Rina out. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" [23:10] 'Cause you're probably right? [23:10] *** Dejiko is now known as Yu-Mei [23:10] *** Yu-Mei has quit IRC (Quit: Yu-Mei ponders the mysteries of existence. ""If Tin Whistles are constructed of tin, then what are Foghorns made of?" ) [23:10] ( O.o ) [23:11] (Um, that was odd. :P) [23:11] ( Whoops. ) [23:11] *** Yu-Mei has joined #ChibiRPG [23:11] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Yu-Mei [23:11] (BLARGH.) [23:12] Out the door is the warehouse itself. In it are stashed KITT and Margie's bike. The main loading bay of the warehouse is directly ahead of you as you exit, with a smaller, people-sized door off to your right. [23:12] Which way, Togo? [23:13] Loading bay. We all fit through at once. [23:13] * Marguerite nods. [23:13] So who knocks? [23:13] The loading bay door is operated by a button to it's right. It opens directly onto a back street. [23:14] (Remember, Hayashi is in the next warehouse over. ^^;) [23:14] ( So where is that relative to the loading bay exit? ) [23:15] ( I think Yu's saying we haven't left our own warehouse yet. ) [23:15] ( I know. ) [23:15] (Fifty feet to the right.) [23:15] (I'll describe it once you get there.) [23:16] * Togo pops the button for the door. "We'll burn that bridge when we come to it." [23:16] * Yoji gulps nervously. [23:16] * Marguerite nods, and checks to make sure Bubba's completely warmed up. [23:17] * Rina fidgets. [23:17] * Jacqueline draws a long, black-bladed sword and waits for the others. [23:17] * Yoji blinks at the sword. [23:18] * Rina tilts her head. "Where'd you get that?" [23:18] What? I always had it. [23:18] * Robert spins up Reason's barrels, but they're strangely silent. [23:18] I'm not into melee weapons, but that's nice. [23:18] No, I mean where'd you hide it? [23:19] I make it a point to never ask a woman where she hides things. [23:19] * Jacqueline grins. "It's a secret!" [23:19] ( Off camera, of course :P ) [23:19] * Rina sticks her tongue out at Robert. [23:19] (*thwaps Jacqueline*) [23:20] ( ;_; ) [23:20] After all, the main characters of RPGs nearly always use swords. [23:20] ... [23:20] (Is the damn door open yet?) [23:20] ( What? They do! :P ) [23:21] ( It was a general ... to the discussion, not to your statement. ) [23:21] * Sayuri runs up from out of the warehouse, computer on her arm. "Change of plans. Coming with y'all, dealing with the police on the run." [23:21] The neighboring warehouse is slightly larger than the one you just exited. It sits between two intersections. It has a loading bay on each end, with a set of old wooden stairs leading up to a door on the wall facing your warehouse. [23:21] Try not to get yourself killed. [23:22] * Sayuri frowns. "Yeah, I'll try." [23:22] 2d6-2 [23:22] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6-2) and gets 8. [23:22] Stay behind me if you have to. I don't move around a lot, and I can take whatever they'll aim at you. [23:22] * Rina looks around. [23:23] 2d6 [23:23] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sayuri (2d6) and gets 8. [23:23] * Togo heads out the door. "I'm gonna go check the loading bay door to the left, see if we can get in. Stay here for the moment." [23:23] * Rina blinks at Sayuri in surprise, then shrugs. [23:24] Togo gets there eventually, finding that the loading bay doors only open from the inside. [23:24] * Togo mutters under his breath, and returns. "In through the door. Let's go." [23:24] * Marguerite nods. [23:24] Okay. Let me go first. [23:25] Togo second. We'll hold off any guards, you go find what's his name. [23:25] * Togo nods. [23:25] I'll follow after, and Robert and I can manage supression fire. [23:25] Oh, and if I tell you all to get clear, clear way the hell out. [23:26] *** Todd has left #chibirpg [23:26] Right. Let's move, already. [23:26] * Robert jogs over to the door. [23:26] * Togo moves, guns at his side. [23:27] The stairs beckon in that way that only stairs can. [23:27] * Marguerite follows. [23:27] * Robert double times it up the stairs to the door and gets ready to kick it in. [23:27] The door is minding it's own buisness, tho. It lookes solid, and it's probably locked. [23:27] * Yoji follows after Marguerite. [23:27] * Rina walks after them. [23:27] * Yoji puts up his shield. [23:28] * Jacqueline pulls out a small canister in her free hand, holding it ready. [23:29] * Sayuri stays in the middle/back of the group, still holding her computer on her left arm, typing with the other. [23:29] * Togo gets a small piece of metal out of his pocket, and gets to work on the lock. [23:29] 2d6-4 [23:29] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sayuri (2d6-4) and gets -2, "That's a critical success. You see, Mecha, I _don't_ hate you. ^_^" [23:29] 2d6-4 [23:29] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sayuri (2d6-4) and gets 1. [23:29] 2d6-4 [23:29] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sayuri (2d6-4) and gets 5. [23:30] * Sayuri (laughs softly.) [23:30] (*snerks*) [23:30] ( Makes me wonder what a critical failure yeilds. ) [23:30] (*snicker*) [23:30] ( For Sayuri? Nothing. ) [23:31] (So he says different things depending on the character? :P) [23:31] ( Yeah. I can add critical success and failure lines by character. ) [23:31] (ANYWAY.) [23:32] (Did Togo do his lockpicking roll yet?) [23:32] (Make a lock picking roll, Togo. Burglary or slight of hand, this time.) [23:32] 2d6-2 [23:32] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-2) and gets 1. [23:32] ( Made it. ) [23:33] The lock unlocks. [23:34] * Togo steps back, and nods to Robert. [23:34] * Robert opens the door and steps inside, swinging Reason up into ready position. [23:35] * Marguerite suddenly looks worried, then shrugs and brings Bubba to bear. [23:35] * Togo steps inside, tapping his glasses as he sweeps his guns. (Heat sensors) [23:36] * Marguerite follows after Togo, searching for anything that moves. [23:36] Robert sees a cheerfully decorated office, full of flowers, family pictures, and pastel colors. There is a toy cat on the desk, and the computer monitor is decorated with stickers. [23:36] * Jacqueline thinks better of it and stows the cannister away. [23:36] ... [23:36] * Rina peeks into the room, notices nothing particularly deadly, and walks in. [23:36] * Robert looks for another door. [23:36] One door leads off to the left, marked 'restroom', and another leads off to the right. [23:37] * Sayuri follows, stowing her computer away, saying softly, "We're set for a while." [23:37] Good. [23:37] * Robert goes to the right door. [23:37] * Rina smiles at Sayuri. "Thanks." [23:37] * Yoji enters. [23:37] * Togo nods back at Sayuri, then moves to follow Robert. [23:37] * Jacqueline follows. [23:38] * Robert takes hold of the knob and slowly tests to see if it's locked. [23:38] The door is not locked. [23:38] * Marguerite follows Togo. Her eyes flit left and right, and her knuckles are white on Bubba's grip. [23:38] * Robert opens the door and steps through, again swinging Reason up into firing position. [23:40] * Togo goes in after Robert. Same deal as before. [23:40] You are on a platform in one corner of the warehouse. It has a few chairs and a card table on it, as well as doors to two more offices. The floor of the warehouse is below. You hear faint voices from below you. [23:40] * Marguerite follows Togo. [23:41] * Marguerite nods to Togo, then points to the offices. [23:42] * Togo nods, and heads for the doors. [23:42] The other offices have glass windows on their doors. There are no lights on in either of them. [23:42] * Sayuri follows carefully. [23:42] * Yoji follows after the group. [23:42] * Jacqueline follows, weapon ready. [23:42] * Rina steps out as quietly as she can, and listens to the voices. [23:42] (Wow, she sounds crazy. ^^) [23:42] ( Heat sensors picking up anything? ) [23:43] * Robert looks for a way down. [23:43] * Marguerite nods to Robert, and points down. [23:43] (Or I could just help Robert find a way.) [23:43] * Rina bites her lip to keep from giggling. [23:45] (Ping?) [23:45] There are some stairs ahead of you that lead down. [23:46] (Sorry, I was dealing with many /msgs. ^^;) [23:46] ( *pokepokes Yu* Anything warm and human shaped in the offices? ) [23:46] * Robert eyes Maggie and nods at the stairs. [23:46] (Togo> Nope.) [23:47] * Robert starts down the stairs slowly. [23:47] * Marguerite nods back, then follows Robert. [23:47] * Togo scowls, and heads stealthly along with the group. [23:47] * Jacqueline follows quietly. [23:47] * Rina walks after them. [23:48] * Yoji follows the group. [23:48] * Sayuri is following, and does not look happy. Looks kind worried, really. [23:48] (Stealth rolls, everyone.) [23:48] 2d6 [23:48] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Yoji (2d6) and gets 5. [23:48] (And I'll let you guys figure out if you made 'em or not. ^_^) [23:48] 2d6-2 [23:48] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-2) and gets 3. [23:48] 2d6 [23:48] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6) and gets 3. [23:48] ( Made it. ) [23:48] 2d6-3 [23:48] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jacqueline (2d6-3) and gets 3. [23:48] 2d6 [23:48] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sayuri (2d6) and gets 2, "That's a critical success. You see, Mecha, I _don't_ hate you. ^_^" [23:48] ( Made it. ) [23:49] 2d6-1 [23:49] (Ditto.) [23:49] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6-1) and gets 10. [23:49] (Well.) [23:49] ( Ugh. Nope. ) [23:49] ( Roll under body, right? ) [23:49] (Damn you and your rotors!) [23:49] 2d6 [23:49] ( The rotors are silent, actually. ) [23:49] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6) and gets 8. [23:49] (Stealth? You've gotta be kidding me. :P) [23:49] ( I musta stepped on a squeaky floorboard. ) [23:49] (Wow. Everyone but Robert and Rina made it.) [23:49] (I know, I was joking.) [23:49] Robery steps on a squeaky floorboard. The conversation below ends abruptly. [23:49] ( Ah. ) [23:50] ... [23:50] * Rina eeps, then covers her mouth. [23:50] * Marguerite says fuck silently about thirty times. [23:50] * Robert shakes his head and starts down the stairs faster. [23:50] * Sayuri rolls her eyes. [23:50] * Marguerite hurries after Robert. [23:50] * Jacqueline halts instantly, then sees Robert start to move and sighs silently. [23:50] * Jacqueline follows after, naturally :P [23:51] * Togo scowls and runs down the stairs, jumping over the side to the ground when he's low enough. [23:51] * Yoji swallows and heads down the stairs. [23:51] * Rina shrugs and runs after them. [23:51] You hear guns being checked as you go down the stairs. The lower floor is filled with large crates, but in one corner is a table with several people sitting at it; two goons, a mook, and Taka Hayashi, who already has his guns out and is starting to shoot at the lot of you. [23:52] ( How do you tell the difference between a goon and a mook just by looking? ) [23:52] ( Goons have their guns out further. ) [23:52] (It's the haircut!) [23:52] * Marguerite whoops. "If I'm gonna be on AMW, I'm damn well going to earn it!" [23:52] * Togo whips around. [23:53] * Rina notices the crates and glares at the men hard enough to burn holes in their skulls. If she had heat vision, anyway. [23:53] Robert, Marguerite, roll ranged defense. [23:53] ... HAYASHI! [23:53] 2d6-3 [23:53] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6-3) and gets 0. [23:53] 2d6-3 [23:53] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6-3) and gets 6. [23:53] * Togo RUNS for Hayashi. [23:53] ( Gah, failed. ) [23:53] (Made it with points to spare.) [23:54] * Sayuri is just looking for somewhere to hide, awfully glad she's put the computer away. ^^; [23:55] Taka looks confusedly at Togo as he shoots. Robert takes a bullet to his chest, but his armor keeps the brunt of it off him. Roll initiative, everyone. [23:55] d6+8 [23:55] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (d6+8) and gets 13. [23:55] d6+6 [23:55] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (d6+6) and gets 7. [23:55] d6+6 [23:55] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Yoji (d6+6) and gets 11. [23:55] d6+5 [23:55] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sayuri (d6+5) and gets 9. [23:56] d6+7 [23:56] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jacqueline (d6+7) and gets 8. [23:56] d6+6 [23:56] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (d6+6) and gets 7. [23:56] d6+10 [23:56] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (d6+10) and gets 14. [23:57] ( ...wow, Togo's FAST. O_o ) [23:57] ( +2 bonus from sheer RAGE. ) [23:57] ( Aha. ) [23:57] (Hey, I'm not arguing with that. *gets out of Togo's way*) [23:58] Order: Taka, Togo, Robert, Goon1, Yoji, Sayuri, Goon2, Margie, Rina, Mook. [23:58] ( RAGE. *shinkick* ) [23:58] ( Wah! I don't get to go ;_; ) [23:58] (Erk. Jacqueline before Margie Goon2.) [23:58] (-Margie) [23:59] Taka looks at Togo and smiles. "I know you, don't I?" He holds one gun out towards Togo and fires. [23:59] (Ranged Degense, Togo.) [23:59] 2d6-3 [23:59] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 3. [00:00] Togo fires back, and the two bullets knock each other off course. [00:01] ( Togo pulled a Robocop! ) [00:01] Taka grins. "Cute trick." [00:01] Togo's turn. [00:01] RRRRRRAAAAAGH! *fires twice* [00:02] (Togo smash!) [00:02] 2d6-3 [00:02] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 1. [00:02] 2d6-3 [00:02] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 2. [00:02] (Eloquent, ain't he?) [00:03] Taka dodges one of the shots and takes the other to his shoulder. He seems to ignore it, however, as he's still grinning. [00:03] Robert's turn. [00:04] * Robert levels Reason at the two goons and one mook and fills the air with hot metal bits. [00:04] 2d6-3 [00:04] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6-3) and gets 6. [00:08] ... The mooks and the two goons are all killed by Togo's onslaught. Poor little guys never saw it coming. [00:08] (Togo or Robert? ^^;) [00:08] ( You mean Robert. =P ) [00:08] (Er, Rovert's. :P) [00:08] (My bad.) [00:08] ( I am _not_ a dog. ) [00:08] ( Rovert! Here Rovert Rovert! Fetch! ) [00:09] (Hush you. :P) [00:10] Yoji's turn. [00:10] * Yoji pales as he see's the thugs get ripped to shreds, then backs off to let Togo do his job. (Holding action) [00:11] Sayuri! [00:11] ( * Sayuri growls, and her hair spikes up and turns blonde. She's a Sayurijin! ) [00:11] (*thwaps Togo*) [00:12] ( Ow! _ ) [00:12] * Sayuri is hiding behind the nearest crates, peeking out at the battle. (Funny. I'll remember that when I take over the world. ^_~) [00:13] Margie's turn. [00:13] (Jackie's turn.) [00:13] (Oh, right. Jackie's turn!) [00:13] * Jacqueline lowers her sword and sighs, then scans the area to make sure that was all the small fry. [00:15] Jackie sees nobody else to fight, sadly. [00:15] * Jacqueline watches Togo instead, then. [00:16] Now it's Margie's turn. [00:16] * Marguerite growls very loudly, turns, and fires at the wall. "Fucking hell." [00:16] Er... sorry, Marguerite. [00:17] The wall develops a large hole where Margie's blast hits it. [00:17] Next time try to remember that the rest of us might have emotional issues we need to work out through wholesale bloodshed. [00:17] Through the hole, you can see that it's beginning to rain outside. [00:18] Bloody wonderful. [00:18] * Rina looks through the hole and pales slightly. [00:19] Rina's turn, in fact. [00:20] * Rina jerks her attention back to the fight and hugs her arms, watching. [00:23] ( Uh... who's turn now? ) [00:23] ( Taka ) [00:23] Taka continues grinning. "I see. These are your buddies, eh? Not gonna get between you and the man who killed your poor mommy?" [00:24] ... shut up, you sick fuck... [00:25] * Yoji blinks and murmurs "...killed his mother too?" [00:25] "Oh, that's so mean... oh, whatever your name is. You seem to see me alright, so it looks like I'll have to put your new eyes out, too." [00:26] Roll melee defense, Togo. [00:26] 2d6-2 [00:26] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-2) and gets 3. [00:26] ( Success ) [00:27] Fast as thought, Taka is in front of Togo, firing his guns point-blank towards Togo's face. Togo manages to get out of the way in time, astonishingly enough. [00:27] Togo's turn. [00:28] * Yoji just STARES at the two combatabts. [00:28] * Togo twists right, putting a little space between himself between Taka and himself as he fires. "My name's Togo, and I'm your fucking Reaper for tonight." [00:28] 2d6-3 [00:28] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 7. [00:28] 2d6-3 [00:28] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 5. [00:29] ( Both hits. ) [00:30] Taka avoids both shots, dodging with phenominal speed. He fires back at Togo. (Ranged def once, Togo.) [00:30] ...so fast... [00:31] (Er, I'm assuming the rest of you are gonna let these guys fight it out with each other?) [00:31] ( Fighting Fire w/ Fire. ) [00:31] * Rina nods and tenses up. "Yeah, they are." [00:31] ( For now. ) [00:31] 2d6-3 [00:31] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 9, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "God hates you, and so do I." [00:31] ( ... figures. ) [00:31] (Lemme know if you change my mind.) [00:31] (For now, yup. Okay, maybe not any more. :P) [00:32] (actually, I was planning on screaming something to the effect of "Can't we just wing the fucker? I mean, he doesn't need legs for you to kill him, right?") [00:32] (*giggles*) [00:32] ( Heh heh... ) [00:32] (I'm actually not joking. [00:32] Togo tries to get out of the way of one of the shots, but it skims the right side of his face, cutting a jag across his head, eating a piece out of his ear, and destroying his shades. [00:32] (I figured. :P) [00:32] AAAAAGH! [00:33] ( ...fuck. ) [00:34] * Yoji gasps. [00:34] (Robert's turn?) [00:34] ( Mine ) [00:35] Togo's turn. (All of you asking to step in, you can go after that.) [00:35] Clear out, all of you. [00:36] * Togo stumbles back, whipping his head from left to right. (Holding action) [00:36] Why? [00:36] * Rina glances at Robert. "If you're askin' us to clear out, that means you might hit Togo too, doesn't it?" [00:36] He's not in the best shape to clear out, Robert. [00:36] Pretty much. [00:36] He wouldn't clear out even if he could hear me. [00:37] Robert's turn, more or less. [00:37] That is why you DON'T fill the room with lead. [00:37] *** Calculus has left IRC [00:37] Not gonna. People in the crates. [00:38] Then go free them. [00:38] If Togo goes down, this place goes up. [00:38] (Can't. You have about 10 seconds per round, and we've used about all of it talking.) [00:39] ( Yep. ) [00:39] ( So do it next round. ) [00:39] Taka grins intently at Togo. He's quite obviously not paying an ounce of attention to the rest of you. [00:39] (So are you holding action, or what? We need a definitive move here.) [00:40] ( My 'action' was that little conversation. If you insist, call it holding action. ) [00:40] (Great.) [00:40] * Togo moves wobbily from left to right, sweeping his guns around in the genral area where Taka was. [00:40] (Whose turn next?) [00:40] Yoji's turn. [00:40] If he wants it, that is. [00:41] * Yoji backs away. [00:41] What do you want me to do? [00:42] Free them. Quickly. [00:42] Check the crates! Move! [00:42] * Yoji runs out of the way and tries to crack into a large crate. [00:43] Sayuri's turn, if she chooses to do anything. [00:46] * Sayuri is still behind the crates, looking out. [00:46] *** JesseLma has joined #chibirpg [00:47] *** Togo has quit IRC (Quit: *** USS George Washington has left #Port (Dock Error: Connection reset by pier) ) [00:47] (Gleep.) [00:47] (Back in character, onnadubble!) [00:47] *** JesseLma has left #chibirpg [00:47] *** Togo has joined #chibirpg [00:47] Jackie's turn. [00:48] *** Yu-Mei sets mode: +v Togo [00:48] ( Sorry, couldn't change my nick in-chan. ) [00:48] ('Salright.) [00:48] * Jacqueline sheathes her sword, watching the battle carefully. (Holding Action) [00:49] MArgie's turn, if she wishes to take it. [00:49] * Marguerite makes a shot for Taka. He hopefully doesn't notice. As soon as the shot's off, she runs like mad towards Togo. [00:49] 2d6-4 [00:49] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6-4) and gets 5. [00:50] STAY AWAY, DAMMIT! [00:50] HE'S MINE! [00:50] IF I GO DOWN, SO BE IT! [00:50] Taka never gives any sign of noticing Margie, but manages to dodge the shot anyway. [00:51] Rina's turn. [00:51] * Rina springs at Taka, attempting to tackle him to the ground. [00:51] 2d6-6 [00:51] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rina (2d6-6) and gets 1. [00:52] Taka manages to Dodge Rina as well, still grinning. "Aww, looks like your friends couldn't stay out of this after all, Togo. That's an awful shame." [00:53] *** DamienRoc is on IRC [00:53] GOD DAMMIT, I SAID STAY OUT OF THIS! [00:53] * Rina rolls and gets to her feet, staring at Taka. [00:53] * Jacqueline dashes behind Togo, making sure she's in Taka's line of sight, and claps her hands together, creating a bright flash. [00:54] 2d6-2 [00:54] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Jacqueline (2d6-2) and gets 4. [00:54] I'm fine with him killing you, Togo. It's Robert killing you that strikes me as wrong somehow.] [00:55] You moron! [00:55] "Yes! Listen to your friend, kiddies! You ought toAAGH!" Jacqueline's flash catches Taka's eyes long enough to take effect. Taka stumbles backwards, rubbing his eyes with his wrists and cursing. [00:55] He's gonna blow the place if I die! Avenge me! [00:55] Now get the FUCK OUT OF MY WAY! [00:56] * Jacqueline backs away. "Just keepin' things even." [00:56] 2d6 [00:56] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6) and gets 11. [00:58] * Marguerite suddenly blinks, then backs way the fuck behind Togo. She covers her head with her arm. [00:59] Rina, stay down! [00:59] Taka opens his eyes again, and he isn't grinning anymore. He aims his guns towards where he thinks Togo was last, and fires. One bullet hits the wall with a 'ptang' and the other hits a crate; someone screams. [00:59] Togo's turn. [01:00] * Rina blinks at Marguerite, then ducks behind a crate, muttering quietly to herself. "Fine. You want to kill yourself. That's fine." [01:01] * Togo stumbles left, stops, and raises his guns directly at Taka. "I'm prepared this time, bastard." [01:02] * Togo fires a HUGE orange beam of energy at Taka. [01:02] 2d6-3 [01:02] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 1. [01:02] ( Gundoken! ) [01:02] (*laughs*) [01:02] ( No, that would be tossing the gun at the enemy :P ) [01:03] Taka tries to dodge, for all the good it does him. There is an explosion, and Taka is sent sailing to the other side of the warehouse. [01:03] * Marguerite stands. "THAT is why I said to get down." [01:04] * Togo immediately runs after him. [01:04] Taka flips back to his feet, shaking his head groggily. [01:05] (If you want the turns; Robert, Yoji, Sayuri, Jackie, Margie, Rina. Lemme know if you pause to let Togo and Taka handle each other again.) [01:06] ( I'm waiting for one of them to die. ) [01:06] ( I'm not planning anything else for a while :P ) [01:06] (I'm taking an action.) [01:06] ( I'm still trying to get one of those crates open. ) [01:06] (I'm gonna take an action, though it might not be a combat one.) [01:07] * Sayuri (isn't gonna do anything.) [01:07] Alright, then. Margie, go! [01:08] * Marguerite takes the butt end of Bubba to the nearest crate. "Rina, try and get as many of these open as you can." [01:08] * Rina nods. [01:09] * Rina runs for the crate Taka accidentally shot, and pulls/breaks it open. [01:09] Margie cracks the crate open. A bunch of rifles fall out. [01:10] * Marguerite grabs a couple and stashes them. [01:10] * Jacqueline assists the others with the crate opening ritual. [01:11] Rina opens the crate to find it contains three girls. They all look like they're from somewhere in southern Asia, and none of them could be over fifteen. One of them is clutching their leg. [01:11] (her leg, even.) [01:11] Taka shakes his head again, and resumes firing at Togo. Roll ranged defense twice, Togo. [01:12] * Rina blinks, then shakes her head. "It's gonna be okay. C'mon." She helps them out of the crate. "We have a shot leg over here!" [01:12] "Injuries can wait! Get them out!" [01:12] ( First ranged, second Fighting Fire w/ Fire ) [01:12] 2d6-2 [01:12] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-2) and gets 4. [01:12] 2d6-3 [01:12] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 4. [01:13] Togo shoots one of the bullets out of the air, but takes the other high on his side. His jacket stops most of it. [01:13] * Togo winces, but keeps advancing. [01:14] Togo's turn, yo. [01:14] ... you killed my mother. My father. You tortured and killed my uncle... and Jun. And you did THIS to me! [01:14] You DIE tonight, Hayashi! [01:15] * Togo fires two shots. [01:15] 2d6-3 [01:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 7. [01:15] 2d6-3 [01:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 3. [01:15] ( Both successes ) [01:16] Taka takes two more shots, both to his chest. [01:16] (If anyone is doing anything involving the fight, lemme know NOW.) [01:16] (Nope.) [01:16] (If you're all waiting or opening crates, say nothing.) [01:17] ( Nothing. ^_^ ) [01:17] Taka shakes his head one more time, and runs towards Togo, sneering and firing both guns. [01:18] ( Wow. Taka's helluva tough. ) [01:18] ( The best villians are :P ) [01:19] ( We haven't even gotten to his second form yet. ;_; ) [01:19] Roll ranged defense twice, Togo. [01:19] (*snickers*) [01:19] (Don't tempt me, Robert. ^_~) [01:19] ( Oh, you mean the one where he turns into Angel-Taka? ) [01:19] ( Same deal as before. ) [01:19] 2d6-2 [01:19] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-2) and gets 1. [01:19] 2d6-3 [01:19] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 4. [01:19] ( Better that than Omega Taka. ) [01:20] Togo shoots one bullet down and dodges the other. His turn, now. [01:21] * Togo fires silently. [01:21] 2d6-3 [01:21] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets -1, "That's a critical success, don't think this means I like you." [01:21] 2d6-3 [01:21] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 4. [01:22] ( Roll for the crit, too? ) [01:22] ( Eh? ) [01:22] (Crits roll a d6 for level of effect.) [01:22] ( Y'know, to see if it does 2x, 3x, or 4x damage? ) [01:22] (Roll a d6, and see what effect you get. Unless Yu's already got something up his sleeve.) [01:22] ( I don't know if Yu's using the Crit Severity. ) [01:22] ( Ah. never knew that. ) [01:22] d6 [01:23] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (d6) and gets 4. [01:23] ( That would be 3x damage, normally. ) [01:24] Taka takes one bullet to the chest and ignores it like the others, The other, tho, gets him in the side of the face, hedging the rim off his eye socket. [01:24] ( Eww. ) [01:24] (Graphic, that.) [01:24] ( ...ew. ) [01:24] ( Yucky. ) [01:25] (mmm. Hamburger helper.) [01:25] He drops one of his guns, his hand reaching up to the wounded eye reflexively. He stumbles a bit. [01:26] "YOU LITTLE FUCKER!" he screams "You DIE for that!" He aims his other gun and fires. [01:26] Not so fun, is it? [01:27] Ranged defense, Togo. [01:27] ( Fighting Fire. ) [01:27] 2d6-3 [01:27] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 2. [01:27] Togo shoots the bullet down. Togo's turn. [01:28] ... pathetic. [01:28] * Togo raises one gun, and aims for Taka's head. [01:28] 2d6-1 [01:28] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-1) and gets 10. [01:28] (He's doing this BLIND. @_@) [01:28] ( ... Damn you Dicesuke, you have NO sense of drama. ) [01:29] ( Of course. He's got RAGE on his side :P ) [01:30] Togo's carefully aimed shot goes wide and bounces harmlessly off the far wall. [01:31] Taka seems preoccupied with his eye, tho, and makes no counterattack. [01:31] * Togo clutches the side of his head. "Dammit..." [01:32] It's Togo's turn again, yo. [01:33] * Togo shakes his head, and just blasts the motherfucker. [01:33] 2d6-3 [01:33] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 2. [01:33] 2d6-3 [01:33] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 6. [01:34] ( Not blind, Mecha. Blind Fighting. ) [01:34] *** DamienRoc has joined #ChibiRPG [01:34] (I know, Togo. Still blind, though. Still freaky. @_@) [01:34] (Well, that must explain why Togo has no life. :P) [01:34] One of these shots actually does his Taka in the place Togo had aimed for before. Taka falls over slowly, and twitches a bit after he's done with that. [01:35] (hit, even.) [01:37] * Sayuri stands up, shakily, from behind her crates. She looks like she's been crying, but her cheeks aren't wet. [01:37] * Togo hears the thump, and walks over to Taka. Slowly, he walks around the body, and kneels by Taka's head. [01:37] That's it then, isn't it? [01:37] ... no, not quite. [01:38] ( Until he comes back as Cyber-Taka. :P ) [01:38] *** Demota has left #ChibiRPG [01:38] *** DemoSleep has joined #ChibiRPG [01:38] * Togo fumbles a bit before settling each of guns on one Taka's eyes. [01:38] ( Or Zombie Taka.) [01:38] For Manami. For Sho. For Kaz. For Jun. [01:38] For me [01:38] *BLAMBLAM* [01:39] Togo gets blood all over himself. [01:39] ( A bit late for that? ) [01:39] ( Thought that counts. ) [01:40] * Togo falls back into a sitting position... and starts laughing. [01:40] * Yoji blinks as he hears laughter. "What the..." [01:40] ( And laughing. And laughing. ) [01:41] * Marguerite looks over, nods, then continues searching. [01:41] * Rina tries to ignore Togo and concentrates on getting the slaves out of there. "He's cracked." [01:41] He's happy. [01:41] Vendettas weigh a lit. [01:41] * Robert puts away Reason and starts busting open crates. [01:41] (*lot) [01:41] * Yoji focusses on opening crates. [01:41] * Rina looks up from what she's doing and blinks at Margie. [01:41] * Jacqueline nods at Margie. "Just like Ryoko in Ring of Red." [01:41] Guess I wouldn't know. [01:42] I dunno how someone can be happy after killing a person... [01:42] ( After a moment, the laughing starts to sound odd. Interrupted. Togo's head is down in his hands, and he curls up into a ball... and then you recognize the sound. Sobbing. Without the tears, of course. ) [01:42] * Robert pauses for a moment, shakes his head sadly, and goes back to opening crates. [01:42] As you bust open the crates, you find: perhaps two tons of cocaine, all told. Several kinds of guns, none of them legal in the US. One crate is full of money that probably isn't legit. [01:42] Be happy that you don't, Rina. [01:43] * Marguerite selects several varieties of guns and stows them. [01:43] * Sayuri looks around weakly, and looks over at Togo. She just kinda stands there. [01:43] *** Retrieving #ChibiRPG info... [01:43] * Marguerite looks for Sayuri. [01:43] * Robert takes a coatfull of guns, mainly for parts, but focuses on getting any slaves out of there. [01:43] Altogether you found ten people who were going to be slaves, probably. One of them was dead in her crate. [01:43] There you are. Got something for you to look at later. [01:44] (Shall I call it a game there?) [01:44] Okay, people, let's get these sla - free people outside and get MOVING. [01:44] ( Sure. ) [01:44] ( If you like. ) [01:44] (Why not.) [01:44] ( Ok ) [01:44] ( Okay. ) [01:44] (If you wanna, go right ahead.) [01:44] Alright. [IT'S A GAME.]
