Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((Here!))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He opens the
door to the warehouse, striding out as though he were watching for the car to
arrive. His attention swivels up, then down the street- a healthy glance for
distant rooftops too.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: 4,8,6,2,3,
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: Spyder's driving Jer's car, and he rolls up to the warehouse,
driving inside if Ing opens the roll up.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *Sure does. He
backtracks quickly after making sure they're alone- sticking a hand inside the
door to catch the hanging console and pressthe button.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He's
sitting in the passenger seat, looking a little paler then usual and quiet. He
smokes a cigarette with a slightly trembling hand, the window all the way open.
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: he pulls to a stop inside the warehouse, turrning the car
off, and then cutting the lights
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *as soon as
the door is open enough to allow for the car to enter, he closes it behind
them.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: When the
car stops, he looks around suddenly. "Where are we?" He looks to
Spyder questioningly.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He closes the
warehouse door, discreetly locking it behind him.*
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: Spyder shrugs. "Dunno. Wherever that stuckup bastard
told us to meet him."
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am] -> Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: 3,6,9,1,7,4,6,5,
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am] -> Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: 1,5,2,6,2,7,3,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *Then moves
toward the car. He frowns slightly, considering Jer's condition for a moment,
looking from Spyder to the tables where the computers and lap top are set up.
((ST note- in keeping with the fact that he told Spyder he was going to check
his email, he really did. Opened up a freeware account, accessed it, then shut
it down again.))*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods a
little, and opens the door, getting out. He nods to Ingvar, taking a drag off
his cigarette. "Hey."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He quietly
hopes Guido and his boys have to dig under that little shitheels fingernails to
get to whatever they need to cleanse the taint from him. He consoles himself
with this, moving to Jer's side to help him out of the car.* What happened to
you?
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Hey, hey," he says, getting out the car eagerly
and heading over to the laptop. "This is great."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He shakes
his head. "Nothing. I'm fine." He looks at the lap top and computers.
"We good to go?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Yes. That
should be everything. *He leans in, presumably Spyder will be distracted by the
mess of hardware.*
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He checks everything over then moves back to the car and
pulls his special case out, moving back over to the laptop. He makes sure the
cabling's all set up right and then fires everything up.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks at
Ingvar a long moment, then shrugs, whispering back.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He stares at
Jeremy for a moment...* Dream. He said he needed a volunteer to calibrate it.
Did you volunteer? *His eyes are hard, and uncompromising.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He stares
back at Ingvar a long moment with haunted, angry eyes, then turns back to watch
Spyder work.
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He types away happily, whistling some tune to himself
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]:
9,2,4,10,6,9,4,
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: 9,9,5,3,7,2,9,10,
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: 4,2,8,8,1,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He steps away,
watching spyder for a moment as he decides exactly which vertebrae to fold the
man from..... sixth. He's of no use to his Tribe anyway. He moves over nearby,
thinking rapidly and doing his damndest to only catch the screen out of the
corner of his eye.*
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: His fingers fly over the keys, and hooks an adapter up, then
plugs the device into the laptop.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He sits at
the hood of the car, extracting a cigarette.* Spyder- this technology isn't
going to breech any privacy laws, is it? For instance- you don't have to
download dreams brain into any computer do you?
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He snorts. "There's no law on the books against
uploading somebody's dreams to the net. Because no lawmaker can imagine that
such things can be done."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He
chain-lights another cigarette off the old one, then drops the butt, crushing
it out with the toe of his boot. He walks up next to Spyder. "How's it
going?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Whatever
he needs to do at this point, Ingvar." He says it without looking over at
either of them.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Oh- they won't
have any trouble getting a patent then... that ought to be helpful. *He sounds
casual enough, moving a bit closer once he's done speaking. He looks around,
presumably to where Garou may be in the Umbra.* But won't this make the doctor
able to reprogram him?
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Sure.. *He
directs it to Dream.* Its just an interesting idea. That's all.
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He snorts again. "Of course it will, if it was implanted
in him and activated. But this is just a prototype. Relax."
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Ah...yeah, baby," He grins at the screen.
"That's what I'm talking about..."
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He chuckles to himself. "Of course I did it. Who the
hell you think you're dealing with? Some asshole grad student just outta Podunk
U?"
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He snickers, motioning to the screen as if he's talking to a
real person. "All there, baby. Look for yourself..."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He listens
to the one-sided conversation, his eye flinching a little bit at the pride
Spyder is obviously taking in his work.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9] -> Singha [Feb 9,
2:30 am]: ooc- its going to very quickly
become apparent to whoever's watching by the daggers he's staring into the
man's back that unless he gets an order to stand down he's likely to kill
Spyder after he's not useful anymore.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9] -> Singha [Feb 9,
2:30 am]: but it looks calculated. He's
no where near frenzy, just calm and cold.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *Pale pools
flick to dream.. damnit.. then back to Spyder.*
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He snickers again, nodding. "That's what I
thought." He leans forward, looking intently at the screen. "Yeah,
you could say that."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He reaches
into his pocket and draws out a small spool of latex gloves. Quietly extracting
two, and slipping them on. Over this he puts his driving gloves, then slips one
hand inside his coat to check his pistol briefly.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *replaces the
spool quietly.. then slips it back into a pocket of the overcoat.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He glances
over at Ingvar a moment, staring at the gloves over the gloves, then looks back
at the back of Spyder's head. "Ingvar. Talk to you for a moment?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Certainly. *He
nods, moving off to one side with the man.*
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Sure." He keys a few more things in, then stares at
the screen intently. "Oh...I see."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He keeps one
eye on Spyder, his face plain. He doesn't appear angry or out of sorts at all-
perhaps a little frustrated, or thoughtful.*
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Damn, he's a slick one. Genius."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He walks a
fair distance away, then stops with Ingvar, keeping his eyes on Spyder and
speaking in a low murmur. "What are you doing?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He clasps his
hands behind his back, leaning in to talk to Jeremy.*
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Right...Right...so...let me see what you got."
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He grunts and types some more info into the laptop.
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Dayum..." his brows raise, and he stares at the
screen, impressed.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks at
Ingvar a moment, is face impassive, then nods, looking back to Spyder and
speaking in a quiet, almost preternaturally calm voice.
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "So when can i meet the guy? This is too good to pass
up."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He doesn't
wait for a response, just walks back over next to Spyder, watching him work.
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Yeah. Right. Right...I understand."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He tilts an
eyebrow, swiveling severe features to regard Dream.* Spine indeed, Mr. Thomas.
*He watches him, considering* We try it your way. *Pale pools swivel back to
regard Spyder.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((He used
to be such a NICE boy, too... *G*))
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Okay." He nods to the screen, which doesn't appear
to have anything on it to anyway. "No shit? He's still active?"
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: ((on it to anyone. doh. Fingers are being bad and not
listening to the brain))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((Bah- nice is
overrated. Say it with me, kids: ~effective~ this scores him points with the
Ingvar!))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Who's
still active, Spyder?" He looks at the kin, taking a drag from his smoke.
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "The One Who Watches."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *His eyes
swivel between Dream and Spyder... he does not seem in the least suprised at
this.* Is this a good thing, or bad thing? Is he helping the Doctor?
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "He's going to bring them more subjects. Asians."
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "The Doctor's going to hook him up."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: He gets a lot
of volunteers. *He raises his eyebrows.* It seems this could have vast impact
on the field of psychology... *He seems to mull over an idea.*
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: He nods. "Yeah, it's all about the science."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He frowns
at that, and looks over at Ingvar. "Hook him up with one of the
devices?"
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Naw, hook him up, like he did the last time."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He meets
Dream's eyes for a second.* When is this to happen? I thought you had only made
a prototype..
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He cants an
eyebrow at this.* Pay him? What exactly would the doctor pay his agents? *He
seems legitimately interested.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "What
did he do the last time, Spyder? Specifically?" He has a good idea what
Spyder's talking about, but he wants to make sure, plus get Ingvar in on it.
Singha [Feb 9, 2:30 am]: "Uhmm..." he hits a few more keys, then snickers to
himself. "Sorry, that's...classified."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *murmurs.*
Damn. Thought I may have found the fast track for a minute.
Phone : ~inggy's phone
rings/buzzes/blinks/plays o canadian or other cute ringtone~
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "But
I knoew where the drop off will be."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He withdraws
the (vibrating) phone. and answers it*
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "And when..."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *speaking into
the phone* and?
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Where?"
He looks at Spyder.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "And
when?"
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: He laughs, shaking his
head. "I don't kiss and tell."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He leans back
slightly.* Oh? It appears we are on the same page once again. I have been
working toward this same thing. A moment.*He walks toward the other end of the
warehouse.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: Yes I know. I
thought of that a little while ago. Try to get in touch with someone important
and arrange a meeting.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He exits the
warehouse.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He furrows
his brow, looking at the kin coolly. "Then why tell us you know it,
Spyder? It doesn't make sense that you would tell us you know it unless you
planned to tell us. Do you want something for the information? Is that it?
What's your price?"
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: He glances away from
the screen to regard Jer. "Look...I'm in this for the science. I'm not
telling you anything if that guy..." he hooks a thumb in Ingvar's
direction. "Is gonna show up and piss all over it."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *currently
outside, in case dream needs room.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He closes
his eyes, trying to center himself, but finds it more difficult then he can
manage at the moment. So he reopens them, aiming his hard, near-dead gaze at
Spyder. "Listen, Spyder. Have I done anything that in any way hinders the
science of this? In fact, hasn't it been the opposite, and I've been a prety
good sport thus far?"
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: He nods. "Yeah.
You can come if you want. If you want I can implant you. I'm sure the Doc'll
have some cool upgrades by then."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods,
feigning his best attempt at gratitude and hoping the man's complete lack of
empathy holds for the next few moments, at least. "I appreciate the offer,
Spyder." He takes a last drag of his cigarette, then walks a few steps
away, finding himself shuddering a bit at the most remote possibility of being
implanted with one of those....things.
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "Sure thing,"
he turns back to the laptop and keeps typing.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "When
do we leave?" He chain-lights another cigarette and crushes out the other
one under his heel.
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "Looks
like...March."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He turns around. "March? But the One Who Watches
is..." He stops himself, and shakes his head. "And we'll be there at
the same time as him?"
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "Doc's outta the
country until then."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods.
"Ahh. I see." He considers this.
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "Yeah, Doc doesn't
stick around anywhere. Likes to keep all his plates spinning."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Sounds
like a busy guy." Said quietly, as an afterthought.
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "Got to keep those
projects up if you're going to get the funding."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods.
"Good point." He looks over to Spyder, trying to lighten the tone of
his voice to curiosity. "What all's he working on at the moment?"
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "You know how much
easier it is to get test subjects and use the good chemicals without all the
red tape and legal mumbo jumbo here in the U.S."
Phone : (*hugs* Night guys!)
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((G'night!))
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: "Uhm...same projects,
basically, but you know, fine tuning. I guess he's ready to field test some of
it."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He blinks
as his phone rings, and he nods to Spyder. "Hold on just a sec." He
flips the phone open. "Yeah?"
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]: He types away happily,
not paying much attention to Jer so long as he has the laptop in front of him.
Singha [Feb 9, 3:00 am]:
((and I neeed five-ten
to take care of something. Gonna kill the nick for a few but will bbs))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((damnit!))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *On the phone,
still outside, talking to Jer* Do you want me to stay out here?
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "No,
it's cool. I'm fine." He does his best to make it sound like he's talking
about the calibration, rather then the current situation, though even thinking
about it gives a slight hollowness to his voice.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He pockets
the phone and comes back inside.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He flips
the phone shut and slips it into his jacket, looking at Spyder as he works
away, his gaze slightly unfocused.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: (nails the damn thing down))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Hey,
Ingvar." It's a casual, non-chalant tone to his voice as the man walks
through the door. "Good news. Spyder's going to take me to see the doctor,
see if I can get an implant." He looks at Ingvar, silently staring at the
man, hoping he catches on.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: You know, that
may help you with this depressive mood you find yourself in lately.. perhaps if
you are one of his subjects the treatment will be free. *He moves over next to
the car again, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it with a chrome lighter.*
Singha [Feb 9, 3:30 am]: "Sure, I could probably swing that," he says,
showing that he's one of those guys who can be arms deep in code, yet still
follow conversations.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: Surprisingly,
that doesn't draw a smile from him. "Well, that's good to know. Thanks,
Spyder."
Singha [Feb 9, 3:30 am]: "Sure thing. You guys oughta have some mood regulation.
Must be hell living like that."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "You
have no idea." Not that he was talking about the same thing Spyder was
talking about, but still...
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He glances at
Spyder. For a moment he considers the hermit, after his comment. A man who has
never experienced pack. But carries blood that may call him to it. His gaze
passes to the computers as he wonders how much those things may have soothed
this.*
Singha [Feb 9, 3:30 am]: He grunts, and rubs his eyes. "Look, it's been fun, but
I need to get some sleep. Unless you guys have a case of Mountain Dew."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He decides it
doesn't matter, beyond moving his decision to the seventh vertebrae. This way
upon insertion the lungs will be clenched shut for a moment- causing
immesurable pain as the diaphram contracts in shock, but the air is not allowed
to leave. Yes. Certainly seventh.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: I will get it.
Dream- do you want anything?
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Excedrin
Migraine, more Marlboros, and rum and Coke. The Jeremy Thomas Trifecta,
tonight."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: *He nods.*
Spyder, just Mt. Dew?
Singha [Feb 9, 3:30 am]: "You can grab some jojos and snoballs, maybe some
Adrenaline rush."
Singha [Feb 9, 3:30 am]: ((you guys want to call it there?))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [pre Feb 9]: ((sure))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((Works for
me.))
Singha [Feb 9, 3:30 am]: ((alright thanks for the RP guys))
