Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((Here!!))
Singha: Broad
Channel is the only place in Jamaica Bay accessible by car, as it lies in the
center of the bay, along a road that runs from JFK to Far Rockaway. It's a
small little town, surrounded by piers. And Fog.
Okami Yuki: ((hum...))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He gets to
the location with Ingvar. He's gotten a little rest since his week from hell,
and seems better then he's been in recent days. Still, he's on edge, and for
good reason.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He glances at
Spyder... looking back every now and then to make sure the man doesn't look
like he's going to do something crazy- like jump out of the car or somethig.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The meeting place is in a small little brick church building set
off to the side of the single main road.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Spyder just taps his fingers on his knee and sucks his teeth
alot, not too happy about all this but for 50 grand, he'll do it.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Spyder, if
something goes wrong, you will be with Mr. Thomas. *Pale eyes flick to the man
for a moment to be sure he understands.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The meeting place is at high tide, so you're pretty much
surrounded by water.
Okami Yuki: *Is where she is suposed to be...
as always, silently and reglaly watching atently*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Spyder nods. "What you expecting to go wrong?"
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((meeting time. doh, sorry))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods to
Ingvar. "Ready when you are, man."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *quietly, as
they are approaching the meeting place.* They are asians, Mr. Spyder. The
question is what won't go wrong... remain quiet and do as you are told. Look
like a very well heeled servant. *carries one of the computers under one arm.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He carries
the other computer, giving a quick, subtle glance around. His walking staff is
in his other hand, tapping against the ground as they walk.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *Not even
pretending- these bastards are trecherous. He's wearing a black cargo jacket
over something bulky, and dark canvas pants.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: 5,4,8,7,4,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((per+alert))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Okami is already in the brick church, along with some others
she's familiar with: many kinfolk with uzis, some of the lower level members of
the courts, and a few of the Dragon Lieutanants, including Jimmy Trahn, Kelly
Nguyen, Hirosata Watanabe (the Lord from the trial), and the third member of
the tribunal, Fang Shu. In another room, with the prisoner is her Uncle,
Jinchiro Satu.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: His leather
jacket and black trenchcoat also seems to cover a slightly bigger bulk then
normal.
Okami Yuki: *She'll keep watchful, her eyes if
so moving to see what are doing or how are dealing Kely and hirosata san, but
mostly watchful*
Okami Yuki -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: let me guess.. still no time to speak alone with the Lord
*G*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((Jer, you lost your staff when you surrendered it to the
Asians before the trial)) Spyder snorts. "Servant. Don't know what that
woman told you but I ain't anybody's servant."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((They
never gave it back? Oh, yeah, huh. Bastards. :P))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *whispers* you
will be a very proud, very dead man very soon then. take your pick. These
people may shoot you if they think you are important.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He walks up
to the church, and looks at Ingvar a moment before knocking on the door.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He nods at
dream, staying between Spyder and the door.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: *Knock
knock* He steps back a pace from the door, waiting patiently.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Spyder chuffs but keeps his voice down as he grumbles
"there's a reason I don't hang with you people much."
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The door is opened by a dour looking Asian man. Who is
definitely armed.
Okami Yuki: *and so eyes drift to the door*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *a glance at
Spyder. He can't resist giving the man the option to walk in first. He does not
make him do something foolish though.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods his
head to the man. "Good evening. We are here, as requested." Gesturing
a hand to himself, then Ingvar and Spyder as well.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *watches the
dour asian, waiting for the careful steps of this to proceed. as Jer did much
better speaking to them at the trial, Ingvar doesn't talk much.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Spyder shrugs and waves to the Asian. "We're here about
the computers and stuff."
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The Asian nods and opens the door, revealing the small chapel
has quite a few attendees. On the raised area where the altar are the members
of the tribunal. Ah Bing Shen is not present. Trevor is not visible, either.
Okami Yuki: Regards the westerners as the doors
open, still just watchful*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He moves to
flank dream... his face doesn't change at the fact that Ah Bing isn't here..
perhaps its good he didn't tell Jer about her. He glances through the people..
looking for tell tale blue flowers.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He steps
into the chapel, walking a few steps forward, then pausing. Waiting to be
acknowledged by the tribunal before approaching them.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: When the Asian pulls the door wide, Spyder walks through
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((per+alert))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He notes Ah
Bing's absence, and his right eye flickers slightly. But no reaction beyond
that.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 10,9,5,8,10,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: 2,6,5,2,5,
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 2,4,10,8,4,2,1,6,
Okami Yuki: 9,6,4,7,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((I've slept
with the die roller, btw. Just so y'all know. *G*))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 8,9,5,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((oh christ
you hapless euro! *smacks character*))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 10,8,2,6,10,6,3,7,8,8,
Okami Yuki: ((*LOL* at Jere*))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He moves
along with Jer and Spyder.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Jer and Okami note that about 20 percent of the people here
have blue flowers of some sort, either in their clothing or in jewelry
Okami Yuki: *Eyes drifting idly around,
watchful, as regal as always*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He prays
that it's not a ruse, and looks toward the tribunal, waiting to be addressed.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Ingvar notes that he and Jer and Spyder are pretty much
outnumbered by the 20 or so asians present here.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The trio is motioned forward. The Lord speaks: "You have
brought the evidence, as promised?"
Okami Yuki -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((are any of them the same faces that wore the blue flowers
at the Trial?))
Okami Yuki: *falling onto watching the
proceedings, quietly*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He steps
forward, to where the advocate's position would be, and sets the computer down,
bowing with all proper respect. "Thank you for seeing us, Honorable Lord.
Indeed, we have brought the evidence as we promised." He indicates his
computer, and the one Ingvar carries. "It is on these two computers."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He doesn't
look directly at Okami- that would just be stupid. He steps foreward with
Jeremy, bowing at the proper time, his manners more Japanese than Chinese and
apparently learned perfectly.* We will need a table, if it please the Court.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: A table is brought out, and the Tribunal looks expectantly at
Ingvar.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He puts the
computers on the table, and passes his laptop to Spyder. If he can't rig it for
use as a monitor, he's no Glasswalker.* We will likely need the prisoner as
well, Honorable Judge.
Karlos Basoalto: ((*sneaks in outta nowhere*))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((edit out
Judge. make it sir. He is NOT going to refer to that man as a Judge.))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "My
Honored Co-Advocate will explain further." He takes a step back, looking
to Ingvar.
Okami Yuki: *she just watches, alert, from the
westerners to the 'tribunal' quiet and regal*
Okami Yuki: ((Takles and ugs a Troo!!))
Karlos Basoalto: Lurks around at the back.
Okami Yuki: ((Takles and ugs a Troo!!))
Karlos Basoalto: Lurks around at the back.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Spyder easily rigs up the computer and laptop using some of
the cabling he's got squirreled away in the various pockets of his cargo pants.
The Lord bends his head, and a heavy side door is opened.
Okami Yuki: *She peers slowly over at the door
opening*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He bows
slightly to Dream- and is glad to see Karlos, though his face doesn't show it.*
Honorable Sirs, as our *his eyes sweep back to Spyder.* Companion. *he looks
back at the Judges* prepares the setting, will you at this time present the
prisoner? As it is his evidence, he will be needed to present it. *bows again.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: A man alarmingly similar to Mas is marched out of the room.
His head and wrists are padlocked through a heavy steel plate, like a portable
stocks. His ankles are chained together with heavy leg irons.
Okami Yuki -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: similar? but this is the MAs Okami knows, right?
Okami Yuki: *Keeps looking that way a second
more, then regards again the proceedings with the computer, eyes, curious, pose
regal, not changing*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: He's wearing nothing but a loin cloth, and there are bruises
on his torso that one could say are from the heavy stocks. Or from something
else. There is a long, iridescent blue line stretching from his left hip to his
right shoulder.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Ing has
never actually seen Trevor, right?))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((yes. This is Mas Mas, not Dirt Mas))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks
over to the Mas-like person, furrowing his brow slightly. He waits silently,
his posture, expression, and everything in his essence looking the height of
proper respect and Advocate protocol.
Okami Yuki: ((ok!!))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((There are photos of Trevor in the various newspaper
articles about him. This is not Trevor. Or does not look like Trevor. It looks
like Mas))
Karlos Basoalto: His lip curls at the sight of
Trevor's bruises, and he steps forward.
Okami Yuki: *though there is a light frown on
the young assian girl, her eyes drifting to the Lord, or Uncle if he even comes
out*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The prisoner is shoved down to his knees in front of the tribunal.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He looks over
to the side slightly.. a calculated gesture- as though not quite looking at the
Judges for a moment so as to save their embarassment. After all, only
barbarians torture prisoners. And Shadow Lords. But of course that's their
right.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((per+empathy or per+torture if you want to see what state
the prisoner is in))
Okami Yuki: ((no emphaty or torture....))
Karlos Basoalto: 6,7,6,5,6,8,3,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 3,6,8,10,6,9,7,
Karlos Basoalto: 3,7,1,1,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 9,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Had to drop
my torture points.*G* Ing isn't going to worry about it. As far as he's
concerned, this isn't Trevor. waiting for Trevor.))
Okami Yuki: ((oi.. Jeremy actualy slept with
the die roller!!!! EW!))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: (( The die
roller, she is a good one if you put out. *G*))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Jeremy
"Dream" Thomas: He's been tortured pretty
much non-stop since the Asians took him. He is, however, entirely resolute and
somewhat smug at their inability to crack him.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Karlos
Basoalto: He's been tortured pretty much non-stop
since the Asians took him. He is, however, entirely resolute and somewhat smug
at their inability to crack him.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((You're a
whore, Jer. But apparently, you're worth the money. *bows*))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: Another twitch of the right eye, and try as he might, he
can't avoid an involuntary pulsing of the jaw. It's quickly back in place,
though, and he remains in all other respects impassive.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "Proceed." The Lord says
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *Rather than
looking at the prisoner, he looks toward Karlos, then toward Dream... that isn't
Trevor.*
Karlos Basoalto: He steps up beside Ingvar.
"I wasn't aware part of us allowing you to hold onto the prisoner for
safekeeping for a couple of days included your right to abuse him so brutally
as quickly as you possibly could."
Okami Yuki: *the faint, frown mantains there,
as she is well... basically looking to her Elders, really ...uh... still her
atitude regal, she knows her place, but..*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He looks from
Karlos to Jeremy, then leans in to speak with Jeremy.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods to
Ingvar. It doesn't make much sense to him, either, but the Asians seem to think
it's him, and something he must see in the man makes him believe this is, in
fact, the prisoner.
Karlos Basoalto: Oh he has the regal thing down
pat, if you come from a culture that believes kings and queens should be at the
forefront of their battles, leading the charge. His dark eyes burn like coals,
his fury mounting.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The Lord sweeps a look at Karlos, then looks back to Jer and
Ingvar. "You advocates had best instruct your witnesses on the proper
decorum for these proceedings."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He whispers
back to Ingvar, watching Karlos with a small hint of concern.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He looks at
the Lord, then down at The kneeling prisoner. decorum? He leans in toward
Karlos.*
Okami Yuki: *The frown is still there, faint,
as she, not seeming to find the answer in the Elders looks back to the
proceeding, mind working as she listens and watches, her hands closing*
Karlos Basoalto: He looks
like he's about to snarl a comeback, but pauses to listen to Ingvar.
Karlos Basoalto: His jaw sets, and he gazes at
the Lord, clearly intending to rip his head off and shove it up his rapidly
cooling anus. But he nods, and says nothing.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: As Ingvar
speaks with Karlos, he gives the Watanabe an apologetic look. "Our
sincerest apologies, Honorable Lord. It will not happen again."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He looks back
at Spyder and nods, then moves toward the kneeling prisoner.*
Karlos Basoalto: ((Ken Watanabe? Cool!))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9] -> Singha [Feb 8 at
9 pm]: ((Basically, he's going to act
like he thinks this is Trevor too. So he leans down and whispers the exact same
thing he would say to Trevor. "We need your help to get in to the
computer. Can you stand?"))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *Leans over
and whispers.*
Okami Yuki: *She moves slightly, just so her
eyes can shift and regard what is going on more fully*
Karlos Basoalto: Keeps his eyes firmly on the
Lord, apparently waiting for any opportunity to mysteriously forget whatever it
was Ingvar just said to him and kill the man instead.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: His cheeks twitch, his gaze goes to Ingvar. "I need to
have my hands free."
Karlos Basoalto: Maybe in his mind he's already
killing the guy. Heh. Maybe in his mind half the people in this room area
already dead...
Karlos Basoalto: Kill kill
kill...
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Of course.. *he
pats his shoulder, apparently contact comfort is more an idea than something
actually practiced.* The prisoner will need his hands free.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He shifts
slightly to the right, for all apparent purposes looking like he's preparing to
come between Karlos and the Tribunal, should Karlos decide to be a barbarian
Westerner and try something gung-ho and foolhardy.
Karlos Basoalto: He sure looks like a barbarian
westerner...
Okami Yuki: *And do looks to Karlos a moment,
the light frown back to her fearures for an instant*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *like torture*
Okami Yuki: *And do looks to
Karlos a moment, the light frown back to her fearures for an instant*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *like torture*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Kelly looks over to the guards on the prisoner. There's some
sort of unspoken communication, and one of the guards unlocks the padlock
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The other guard slaps some manacles on the prisoner with a
chain looped through a belt, so that he can't rais his hands over his pecs.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He assists
the man to stand. Not something he would do normally, but it doesn't seem a job
for Karlos at the moment. They did do a good job in two days... wow- the
Jacobson technique? They WERE in a hurry.*
Karlos Basoalto: Quite calmly and deliberately,
he raises his hands above waist height to... straighten his tie. Whilst glaring
at the Lord. Then he... turns his back on the man, walking to the door once
more.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The guards stand close by with the heavy steel plate, ready
to slam it into Mas' back should he doe something unwanted. The prisoner rolls
his shoulders and then looks over to Spyder, then to Ingvar, Jer, and Karlos
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *As he's partially
holding him up, he whispers.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9] -> Singha [Feb 8 at
9 pm]: Go with it if you need to... if
you don't know, act like you are telling Spyder- the man to your right, how to
get into it.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He frowns
as Karlos walks away, then looks to the prisoner. For all the empathy for the
man that shows in his eyes, all he gives is a single nod to him, as if to
proceed.
Karlos Basoalto: He stops at the door, steps
aside, and leans against the wall, his arms crossing.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: A sly, smug grin crosses his face and he says something
loudly in a language that nobody but Karlos therecan even identify, let alone
speak
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *His neck
arches back slightly. Hoping that wasn't similar to "all of you can go
fuck yourself" or something equally common.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Karlos
Basoalto: ~Zulu~ "This will taint me. And get
them to bring me to the doctor."
Okami Yuki: *she actially tilts her head,
regarding the man in chains at his odd words, mostly still just watching*
Karlos Basoalto: He replies in the same
language as if the Lord weren't even there.
Karlos Basoalto -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]:
~zulu~ "All right."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *Swivels only
his eyes to Karlos, looking for some sort of sign that it is time to move soon.
From the corner of his eye, he begins discreetly to aim a kick without looking
around. The target happens to be the pubic synapse of the man holding the
plate.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He seems thoroughly
confused by the whole thing, and turns his head to look between Karlos and Mas,
keeping his posture the same.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He shakes his
head slightly, looking around toward the Judge.* Sir. This man is unable to
continue. In order to access the evidence he will need to be taken to the
doctor right away.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The prisoner smiles broadly, smugly, standing proud, defiant,
looking at those around him and then moving over to the laptop. He keys
something into it, then glances over to the Tribunal.
Okami Yuki: *Kinda hears the answer Ingvar is
going to get, is higly sure of what will be, she keeps watchful, regally so*
Okami Yuki: *and glances over at the computers
again*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: He speaks again in another language that those who are used
to hearing Celtic might find oddly familiar.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *having heard
Celtic not nearly enough, the young Judge proceeds to pat Mas on the back..
perhaps a hairball? bloody phlegm?*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Karlos
Basoalto: ~ASG~ "No, I mean the doctor you're
looking for. Who's behind the bear hunting. The one who escaped my killing
spree last year. It's part of the plan. Make sure you have someone who follows
where they take me."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: As far as
anyone might tell, he's got no clue what's going on around him, but he seems
determined to keep his honor through it all, remaining where he is.
Karlos Basoalto -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]:
~ASG~ "Oh. The plan." He sounds like
no-one's filled him in on any such plan. Which is nice.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: As he speaks the strange language, he makes what appear to be
ritual motions.
Karlos Basoalto: A gaelic grunt.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: His eyes flash, he stares at the screen, looking a bit
maniacal. He chuckles.
Okami Yuki: *there comes the light frown at the
maniacal looking, regarding the computers, then the Westerners*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: He glances over at Karlos, as if surprised to see someone
speaks that language. He says something that sounds very derogatory.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *His eyes
flick to the screen.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The Asians are getting quite tense, the Lord motions to the
guards to get ready, expecting Mas to make a break for it.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *If you can
hear me, I am in the same boat. become petulant at your leisure later- now is
not the time.*
Okami Yuki: *well she will glance at the screen
if she is a place she can do so, if not keeps watching, like if specting, well
no ...'battle' has broke out this far due to the Barbaric grunting...*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Karlos
Basoalto: ~ASG~ "Zi Teng is on the throne.
None of the Asians know that. And you're the first to hear this part of the
plan."
Okami Yuki: *ooooooooooook... YET... *
Okami Yuki: *and tries to get ready for what
ever irruptf of this proceedings... *
Karlos Basoalto: He doesn't even look at the
prisoner as he replies calmly, smugly.
Karlos Basoalto -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]:
~ASG~ "So not so much a plan as a bid for
suicide. I like it. Let's go."
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: His eyes flash, he turns back to the screen, which is filled
with various lines of code. He looks to Ingvar, holding his palm open. "I
need blood."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He watches
the proceedings in at the computer, his eyes occasionally flickering to the
Tribunal, then back.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He looks
around for a knife or something, finally at Karlos.* Mr. Basoalto. Perhaps you
would be so good as to cut me. *He presents a hand.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "What evidence is it you are supposedly producing?"
Kelly Nguyen inquires, watching Mas like a hawk.
Karlos Basoalto: "It would be remiss of me
not to," he replies languidly, idly becoming a lion, as if it were an afterthought,
something one does once in a while to pass the time.
Okami Yuki: *Her eyes flicker towards the Lord
a moment, then back to the Westenres,.. and this... thing they are doing*
Okami Yuki: *And her eyes go slowly to the lion
that is now*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He looks at
Mas* Mine or your own, Sir?
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: His eyes
widen as Karlos goes all furry and maney, and he looks back to the Tribunal,
pausing a moment to judge their reactions.
Karlos Basoalto: His suit bleeds into his skin
even as the fur grows, the muscles bulk, his body falls forward onto four paws.
His hair lightens, yellowing, becoming a dark gold mane. His amber eyes regard
Ingvar like the man were prey.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: As soon as Karlos goes furry about half the weapons in the
place are trained on him, itching for the order to shoot
Karlos Basoalto: He pads toward Ingvar and
swipes across his thigh, claws out.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The prisoner glances over at the lion and scowls.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He doesn't
seem to have a problem with Karlos becoming a lion. His eyes glint slightly,
finally one and one makes two. Perhaps after this, it will be able to focus.*
Karlos Basoalto: Then, once blood is drawn, he
rolls onto his back and stretches, yawning, scritching at his pale belly like
he's settling down for a lazy afternoon after eating half a zebra.
Okami Yuki: ((blinks))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "Yours will do," Mas says. The guards step between
Karlos and the prisoner, yanking him away from the computer and shoving their
uzi's against Karlos' flank.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He doesn't
look at the guards, as he knows they won't act without the Tribunal's command.
His attention is on the three in front of them, and their reaction.
Karlos Basoalto: He ignores the guns pressed
into him, simply laying there like a big ole puddy tat.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Wp point.))
His face grows harder, twisting slightly- a strange and alien thing glances out
from behind empty green pools.. he watches Karlos as he digs in well.. plans
flicking rapidly through his head as he looks back to Mas.* Your friend seems
to have been of some assistance. He holds up his thigh a bit, sucking air
through his teeth.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "The creature will be escorted out of our
territory," the Lord decrees. "Or we shall have it killed."
Karlos Basoalto: "I should have you killed
for violating my Neutral Ground," he counters idly.
Okami Yuki: *a frown, still watching,
WEsterners... looking towards the Lord as the decreet is made, then at the
lion*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "Ground can only be claimed by those who can hold
it," Kelly counters.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He glances
toward Dream. Under the circumstances, he doesn't seem the best choice to try
to reason with the creature.* May we continue? *He looks at the guard.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He closes
his eyes, as if trying to find his patience with the lion, and looks to it.
"If you don't mind...?" There's a hint of irritation in his voice.
Karlos Basoalto: He chuckles throatily, eyes
drifting closed. He scritches his belly a little again. "Your words.
Remember them well."
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((everybody roll init))
Karlos Basoalto: 9,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: His lips purse
as he looks hard at Karlos. "Allow yourself to be escorted. Please."
Okami Yuki: 4,
Karlos Basoalto: ((15))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 5,
Okami Yuki: 10
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((10))
Karlos Basoalto: ((Sorry, my bad. 18))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 7,
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 1,
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: (13 and 7))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Trevor. *He
looks at the guard, and gestures to his thigh...* We are prepared to continue*
eyes flicking for a moment to the lion... at least it seems calm. His brain
seems to be covering bases only.. marking places and skipping along with
smooth, firm precision. Swallowing irrationality to release later.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: 2,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((8))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((Karlos first, then Mas, then Okami then Dream, then Ingvar
then the Asians)) Karlos sees Kelly wave to the guards, and sees them pulling
the triggers on the uzi's that are trained on him. Mas turns sidesteps, and
loops a manacle chain around one of his guard's uzis, to try and yank it away.
Karlos Basoalto: Turns into lion crazy-paving,
breaking into a thousand itty bitty little pieces.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 4,2,9,4,7,4,8,
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 4,8,6,
Okami Yuki: ((ghe?!,...*whines*))*you mean what
she does after... seeing a lion break into a thousan butterflies?... uh... move
on to Mas* ((well make sur ethey don't kill the prisioner... that's it...
yes..and that he ... doesn't scape... ))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 5,7,8,
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Mas loops the chain and yanks but the guard's got a good grip
and they struggle for control of the uzi
Karlos Basoalto: The thousand itty bitty pieces
do indeed seem to be butterflies, spilling into the air like water from a
geyser.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: This must be the plan. Ah, well, he's
going with it, as he shifts into Crinos, running to protect Spyder from
gunfire.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Spyder's too busy staring at the computer screen, frowning,
to realize anything else is going down.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *2000 pounds
of werewolf is something to be avoided- he gets out of Dream's way- perhaps
moving closer to the table out of shock- or perhaps preparing to give Dream the
room he needs.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *His voice is
firm and commanding- suited to short, quiet barks in the field.* Trevor! Stop!
Karlos is safe.
Karlos Basoalto: They spiral lazily up to the
rafters, spreading out, fading into the background, becoming practically
invisible.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The Asians open fire at the mass of butterflies. The one with
the big steel plate slams it hard into Mas' back, and the Lord and Fang Shu
both shift up to Crinos. But the Lord is a coal black wolfie and Fang is a
crinos Ratkin.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: 4,1,9,4,3,
Karlos Basoalto: 9,4,8,2,3,4,5,
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: But Mas had sidestepped and the plate misses, and the guy
drops it with a loud clang
Okami Yuki -> Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: kinda the plan is ... erg.. was.. not sure if still is *eyes
above* to get the trevor-mas save from posible more beaten up and too keep him
from beating others... the intent was to get in between, but might be slowing
now))
Karlos Basoalto: One good atttack deserves
another. Here he was entirely willing to leave. But no, they had to try and
shoot him. So he steals a guard's mind and turns his uzi onto his fellow
shooters.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The guard spends WP not to shoot, shouting out a warning to
his fellows.
Okami Yuki: ((and now I am confused as per in
what order we were *G*))
Karlos Basoalto: ((It's simple. I go first, you
all panic accordingly *G*))
Okami Yuki: ((lol!! fine! just I dind't realise
the other round was over *snickerS*))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((Yeah,
that's about right. *G*))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((I was
thinking we could all follow Karlos' suggestion myself.*L*))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Okay, recap: Lion Karlos goes butterfly. Mas tries to keep
the guard from shooting lion, not knowing he's going butterfly. Okami moves to
protect Mas, but doesn't get there before the guard tries to slam the plate on
him. Dream moves to protect Spyder, who's clueless. Ingvar moves to give Dream
room. Asians shoot butterflies, making killing one or two, but doing no real
damage. Plate guy drops the plate. Crinos Lord and Fang on the raised platform,
Kelly sitting there, frowning. Other Asians in the room turning their weapons
on the guy Karlos just took his mind over.
Okami Yuki: ((ok... so goes
Mas then me... right?))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((New round order is: Karlos, Mas, Okami & Jer, Ingvar,
Asians))
Okami Yuki: ((*nod*^))
Karlos Basoalto: ((Waiting on Ingvar to use the
end of the last round to say something... That is, if he's going to *G*))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Not yet. He used
the shouting to speak to Mas.))
Karlos Basoalto: ((Otay))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Unless
that's allwed. If so- here you go.)) *He raises his voice to be heard over the
shouting.* Lords! Clearly that man has lost his wits! I am certain if you open
the door the butterflies will leave- and we may continue with our proceedings!
((rolling man+exp to convince them?))
Karlos Basoalto: He crawls out of any nook and
cranny he can, since all these buildings seem rickety and poorly constructed.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Mas holds his hands out to the side, obviously surrendering.
Okami Yuki: *she'll shift to sokto, if so
placing now as said between mas adn the rest, is a clear gesture of both,
making sure he doens't atempt anything further, and keep off further..
unesecarily barbaric violence, her eyes scanning for further problem*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He takes a
protective cover over Spyder and takes no offensive action, taking the
opportunity to glance at the screen.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((does Jer have any computer? if so, roll int+comp))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He snorts a
little, shaking his head as though to clear it of nats.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 7,7,8,8,5,1,8,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((I believe
the die roller and I are officially engaged for the night.))
Okami Yuki: ((hmmmm....going on with
the....21.. hours awake... hum....*eyes parents, prays for them to keep
asleep*))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *In a way, he
thinks he may be rather greatful to Karlos... solidifying him on a point or two
regarding the madness of extremes of emotion. Perhaps all followers of Rose are
given to erratic behavior.*
: ((You're damn right they are *G*))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The Asian who was going to shoot puts his weapon down and
holds his hands up, and everybody waits on orders from the Big Black Wolf on
the platform. Who shifts down and says "For further reference, if that
creature appears in our territory again, we will kill it."
: ((Yeah, it'll kill you first *shakes fist*))
Okami Yuki: *reminds in place now, her head
lifting faintly in that little princess atitude of her, staying whre she is for
now*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He bows* Of
course, Sir. We will continue, with your permission?
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "No," the Lord says. "We will not. You have
delivered the evidence. You may leave it here, and we will determine it's
relevance without further displays from your people."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He shifts
back to Homid, and looks back at the Tribunal, naked as a jaybird. He doesn't
seem uncomfortable with the condition...it's not like two-thirds of the
Tribunal didn't see him bare nekkid yesterday. He nods to the three, moving
back to his Advocate position.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Jeremy
"Dream" Thomas: ((Jer sees that there is
some sort of encryption algorithm going on the computer screen, and he finds it
sort of...mesmerizing.)
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((DLP))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The guards move forward to grab the computers, while the
others slap Mas back into the steel plates and throw the padlock on it.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Jeremy
"Dream" Thomas: ((roll WP))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He stares
at the screen for a long moment, frowning in a look similar to Spyder's. Except
for the whole wolf-man features.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 3,7,5,3,9,
Okami Yuki: *Frowns, this not semeign to be
going well, but as innevitablye Mas ged padlocked aigna she shifts back to
homid, watching once more, quiely, regally*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm] -> Jeremy
"Dream" Thomas: He feels ~something~
brush against his attention, hooking it for a moment before he manages to tear
his gaze away.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Sir- the
prisoner is in terrible condition. Out of respect for your position, and in
order to further secure the surroundings my Elders will likely insist upon
accompanying us as this trial continues and concludes. It would be better
served to your status for his health to be attended to this evening, before he
is returned to his cell.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: the guards also don't bother to take the manacles off Mas so
now there's no way he can stand up straight with that weight, since the chains
to the belt around his waist won't let him
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He tears
his attention away from the computer, shaking his head, then shifts back to
Homid. He looks around a little before moving to the Advocate spot.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ...By a
doctor- I believe there is a hospital nearby.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "No," the Lord says. "You leave, now. Your
people have acted improperly and are no longer welcome. You will be informed of
the prisoner's fate when it is decided."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: That
individual was not one of my people- as its form clearly shows.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: The guards move off with the two large computers,
disconnecting them. Spyder blinks for a long moment, then shakes his head,
glancing around as if snapping out of some dreamstate.
Okami Yuki: *She watches the two weserner
enthralled by teh computers, frowning lightly again, as they snap out of it
when they are removed, and again looks to the rest of them, then to the Elders*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "That individual follows the Snake, and therefore is
allied with him," he points to Jeremy. "You are no longer welcome.
You have five minutes to be out of Jamaica Bay, or we will hunt you."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods to
Ingvar's words. "Honorable Lord...I most humbly apologize for the events
that have just occurred. I merely wished to protect our Kin from any potential
gunfire, and I cannot condone the actions of the other. If you must, escort me
out, and my co-Advocate can counsel for me."
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Mas is ushered out toward the side room, the heavy door being
opened once again. The guards with the computers are instructed to head into
that room, also. Okami is allowed to escort them.
Okami Yuki: *she'll scort, moving on along. her
eyes still watchfull as she moves on*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Sir. I do not
follow Snake. I am perfectly willing to stay if you find my associate's
suggestion agreeable.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: "Goodbye."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks
down, shaking his head, then looks to Ingvar and Spyder. "Let's go.
NOW." He walks to the door and opens it, looking back at the two expectantly.
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: Spyder doesn't have to be told twice, and is scurrying his
way out of there, shuddering a bit
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He looks to
Jeremy, nodding. Then to Mas as he is lead away. He silently begins to back
toward the door, as though concerned over the man. Apparently Trevor isn't
here, best to keep up the illusion though.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He turns and
leaves with the other two.*
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((and unless you guys try something funky, that's it.))
Okami Yuki: ((*snugs* thanks for the
rp!!!*waits to know*))
: ((*does the funky chicken, does that
count?*))
Okami Yuki: 88ugs the troo sleepdly))
: ((*Smooches* Remember, all, there's a reason
you don't let Karlos near delicate negotiations..))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((You said
nearly 20 people, and Ing never did notice the flowers. The exterior wall of
the room where Mas is. What does that seem to be made of? As rickety as the
rest?))
Okami Yuki: LOL I WILL remember!!==
Okami Yuki: 88and if they try something funky
let me know I can't stand awake longer, sorry guys, night!
: ((Ninight))
Okami Yuki: *snug* faints+
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Goodnight,
okami-p.*G*))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((The building is a brick building, rather solidly built.
It's not clear what the interior walls are.))
: *waves from her sleep and is out
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((I just
had a little wrap-up to the car, but nothing ST-requiring...))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((But if you are going to try something, let's do it tomorrow
since I am passing out here))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((On the way
back.)) Spyder. We may need to hire you for additional work. Nothing quite so
dangerous, but it will pay well. Very well. Interested?
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Sure
thing*G* Later guys.))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((go ahead and talk on the way to the car, Spyder will be
kind of oogy and distracted. he won't say anything coherent until they get back
to Manhattan (and I'mcoherent tomorrow))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((Thanks
for the scene, Singha!))
Singha [Feb 8 at 9 pm]: ((Night all, thanks for playing))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Thanks for
the scene folks.*G* I'm good for the wrap though, Jer-p if you want to do it.))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas:
He looks
over at Ingvar, frowning deeply as they walk to the car. "That wasn't the
plan, was it?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He cants an eyebrow* The plan? Well... not mine, no. I was hoping for
something rather different, even in the worst case. *He raises his eyebrows*
However- I am well aquainted with photos of Mr. Dunne- and it would seem as
though our erstwhile client has escaped. Which certanly works. *seems cool like
cucumber- blood and all. He does pause to wrap it.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: So that you
know, all is not lost. We do have two other computers.*he glances at Dream
again.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He shakes
his head. "He had the same attitude...a very not-Mas one. I think that was
him. Keep walking, you can bind it in the car. Five minutes, remember? I'll
drive." He sighs deeply, glad he brought extra clothes in his backpack in
the car. "What the hell was on that computer?" It's not a question to
anyone in particular, rather almost to himself.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]:
Ah yes.. the
five minutes. *He moves toward the passenger side.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas:
He herds Spyder into the back seat and gets the key from
him. He pulls a World Wrestling Entertainment T-Shirt out of his pack, and
pulls it on before sliding into the driver's seat and starting the car. "I
know all's not lost. But this certainly didn't help matters. They'll use what
happened tonight against both him and us, if they can." He backs the car
up, turns it around, and starts driving.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: They can Dream. The victory dinner to celebrate his execution is
tomorrow. I fear you were right to begin with. *He looks out the window.*
Though I must admit a great deal of suprise.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: He also has
less than 12 hours to put the General back on the Throne.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Shit.
That gives us NO time. We've got to do something, and fucking quick." He
reaches blindly into his backjpack, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and
putting one in his mouth as he pushes the car lighter in. "What I wanna
know is, what happened to Ah Bing Shen? The fact that she wasn't there has me
worried."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He takes
the lighter when it pops out and lights his smoke, putting the car piece back
in place and rolling a window down.
